SLC Nursing class of ’79 to reunite Nick Seebruch

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – The St. Lawrence College Nursing class of 1979 is planning their 40 year reunion for the first week of June.

The 1979 St. Lawrence College Nursing staff had 35 graduates, who were just the second class ever to complete the program. From June 2 to 5 they are being invited back to Cornwall to the Nav Centre to reunite, reminisce and celebrate.

On Sunday, June 2, the reunion will begin with a reception at St. Lawrence College starting at 5 p.m. along with cocktails and a BBQ. The next morning, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. the class of ’79 will be holding a cancer walk to raise funds for breast cancer research. They will be walking from the Nav Centre to St. Lawrence College and back. In the evening, there will be a

dinner at Summerheights Golf Links.

June 4 will be a farewell dinner and dance at the Nave Centre, followed by an informal lunch the next day at the Blue Anchor, an old hangout spot for the class of ’79.

Joan Daigneault, one of the nursing graduates from that class said she appreciated the hands on experience that the program offered.

“This program started you in the hospital right away so you know in the first two weeks if you could do it or not,” she said.

Merry Cardinal said she was looking forward to seeing old friends again at the reunion.

“I think we were a really close-knit class,” she said. “At our 37 year reunion a few years ago it was like we all picked up where we left off.”

Any member of the class of ’79 who would like to go to the reunion in June are asked to contact slcnursing79@gmail.com

The Future of Inveraden House Sara Lauzon Wayback Playback

purchased land at Gray’s Creek. Construction of his beautiful home began in 1816, and was finalized by 1823 after the construction of the “wings” were added to the building. These additions made Inverarden a complete and substantial Regency styled residence.

Near the end of his life, John decided to relocate to Williamstown and passed “Garth” (his name for the home) to his eldest daughter and her husband, John Campbell. The house then became known as “Inverarden” from then (1870s) on. This home remained in the Campbell family until 1965, and became a museum in the 1970s.

Every year, National Trust for Canada issues a

call for nominations for Canada’s “Top 10 Endangered Places.” For the second year in a row, I have nominated Cornwall’s Inverarden House to make the list. A beautiful home with such rich and unique history should not be dilapidated and left to rot away. As a National Historic Site of Canada (designated as such in 1968), our government should be ashamed of themselves for letting this building reach this condition.

Inverarden needs all the help it can get, and I believe making an important and national list like this will only help solidify this beautiful structures future. We’ve lost enough of our history, don’t you think?

This gorgeous building was constructed for

retired Northwest Company fur trader, John McDonald of Garth. John was a small man in stature, and was visibly handicapped: his right arm was much smaller than his left. This prevented him from following in his ancestors footsteps because he couldn’t have a military career (despite how much he enjoyed combat.) This predicament led him towards a different career path.

Following his Great Uncle’s advice, John sailed from Scotland to Canada in 1791 to take up employment as a clerk for the North West Trading Company. He remained with the company until 1814. After deciding it was time to retire, John

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Downtown Business Improvement Association (DBIA) has launched the second edition of their Win this Space contest.

Win this Space is a Dragons Den style competition where entrepreneurs argue why they should win $1,000 of free rent for a year at a vacant storefront in Cornwall’s downtown.

“It’s been a fantastic whirlwind,” said Sue-Anne Heitmann of Fairy Sweet, last year’s Win this Space winners. “We still haven’t settled from the hype.”

Heitmann explained that Fairy Sweet had operated as an at-home business for six years prior to winning the 2018 Win this Space competition and that the opportunity to get a storefront really pushed them to grow the business.

“We learned a lot of things a new entrepreneur wouldn’t normally think about,” said Heitmann. “Now mom is needing help to keep up so we will be hiring sooner than we thought, which is a great problem to have.”

It is more than just financial support that the DBIA is offering their winner. The winner of the contest will also be getting some business point-

ers as well.

“It’s not enough to simply have an idea and open a business,” said Todd Lihou, Centretown Coordinator with Heart of the City. “Entrepreneurs must be armed with other knowledhge to make their idea grow and their operation succeed. It’s why we have entered into a partnership with the good people at the Cornwall Business Enterprise Centre (CBEC) who will offer several weeks of free training to help our participants secure a solid foundation in marKeting and business plan creation.”

The deadline for applications will be April 26 at 4 p.m. Entries can be emailed to Lihou at todd@ cornwallheartofthecity.com or delivered to the Cornwall and Area Chamber of Commerce at 113 Second St. East.

LUNAFEST showcases women in film Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – An engaged audience indulged in an array of short films for women, by women on Saturday, March 30 during LUNAFEST, hosted by Sexual Assault Support Services (SASS) For Women of SDG&A. “It’s going really really well,” said Angela Vinet, SASS Executive Director. “The crowd is super engaged and the movies are going over exceptionally well…they’re movies made for

women, by women, so it’s a series of short clips on different topics…all encompassing women’s lives.”

Vinet explained that SASS strived to host LUNAFEST about four years ago but the evening was essentially snowed out. Staff decided to bring back the event this year, and with clear weather and an entertained crowd, considered it a success.

LUNAFEST, which began in 2000, is a travelling film festival that celebrates women in film

and showcases films by women. The event can be held in any community to raise funds for a local women’s cause. Vinet said this year the films covered serious topics including immigration, homosexuality and coming out, as well as lighter topics like female unity and friendships we value.

Tickets to the event were $40 per person.

Throughout the evening, a group of talented performers graced the stage, singing, playing instruments as well as dancing. Attendees also

had the chance to participate in a live and silent auction.

SASS thanked Community Action Network Against Abuse (CANAA) for sponsoring sweet treats, as well as HollisWealth, Elizabeth Taylor Financial Advisor and Carol Bennett Bray CFP for sponsoring food throughout the evening.

“Proceeds will go towards running some of our groups, like our SASS socials, our empowerment camp for women and young girls, as well as some of our art therapy group,” said Vinet.

hand experience.

The so-called “world of information” I mentioned is just a world – but less than the universe.

The universe of travel possibilities existed long before the Internet. It was the Vikings, Columbus, Magellan and Cook whose first-hand observations made available a wealth of information for the armchair travellers afraid of leaving home port.

My travels have taught me that some of the most fascinating experiences have no websites, no presence on the internet. They are like an angler’s secret fishing hole. I’m drawn to explore what’s at the end of any road that’s posted ‘BRIDGE OUT’ or ‘NO WINTER MAINTENANCE’ or ‘TRAVEL AT YOUR OWN RISK’.

Off the beaten tracks you could come across a water-powered mill that’s almost concealed by a half-century of vegetation, or the ruins of a factory that at one time produced aircraft during WW II. Only swallows fly out of the rotting

remnants of its doors that are swinging lazily in the wind, barely suspended on tracks.

This year I explored an abandoned prairie church whose pulpit is now silent. Raindrops tap on the wooden floor through gaps in the lofty ceiling. The pews are vacant and rotting. Almost hidden by a flourishing stand of weeds, a bronze plaque rests beside a bell that once occupied the steeple. Its detailed text tells the story of what once was a vibrant parish community.

Only when I grow old will I seek out opportunities to drive the Trans-Canada, speed along the 400-series highways and the Interstates, forever eat under the Golden Arches and overnight only at franchise hotels. If you’ve ever watched the movie “Groundhog Day” you know what I mean.

Why travel if there’s no exploration, no discovery, no serendipity? Only when we journey to unforgettable places and do unforgettable things, does our memory improve.

This is the time of year to dream of travel: past travels, future destinations. These days, travel planning can include surfing, but no need for a board, speedo or bikini, just a good wi-fi connection. On the Web there’s a world of information – and mis-information.

I’ve had experiences with businesses and attractions that have suffered from postings

made by malicious trolls bent on disrupting the services and sullying the reputation of legitimate businesses. I’ve received excellent service from a bicycle rental shop in Delray Beach Florida, a camera shop in Ottawa and a hotel in Lisbon.

However, each has been plagued by undeserved posts such as, “…their rentals are in poor repair and their staff are rude and un-informed”, or “… only open from 200 am-500 am on Sundays…” and “…rooms are tiny and the concierge is rude.”

I suspect it’s their competitors, ex-spouses and malcontents who make these accusations.

It’s the same rascals who can write undeserved glowing reports. As with news reports, consumer beware! Try to do some fact-finding through first-

Regional talent at Alexandria Showcase Concert Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

ALEXANDRIA, Ontario – Many talented young musicians performed in front of a packed crowd at the Alexandria United Church on the Hill on Sunday, March 31 as part of the 12th annual Musical Celebration Musicale.

With just shy of 30 acts, the afternoon saw a variety of entertainment, including solo ballads, duets, trios, choirs, piano, fiddle and cello performances. The acts ranged from somber tunes to theme songs and uplifting tracks, performed in various languages by young adults. Tickets into the show cost $10 for attendees aged 12 and up, and all proceeds go towards funding musicians

scholarships. Each performer received a sponsorship, donated by a number of local businesses and families.

“We are in our twelfth year, and it’s always around this time of year (we host)…it’s for piano, voice, strings, groups, choirs and it’s for all of the region,” explained Gabrielle Campbell, event organizer.“We even get some people from Ottawa come down…they compete, they get prizes. We have adjudicators that come down from Montreal and Ottawa and they give (performers) some tips on how to play better.”

Campbell explained that as the program is a part of the Ontario Musical Festivals Association, students from Grade 6 and up an compete at provincial level. A judge may pick up to two individuals

per level to compete against the best in the province.

“We have 10 (students) that were chosen this year, so they will get to move on to St. Catherine’s where they can compete,” said Campbell.

Campbell believes the annual event is not only entertaining and a positive experience for the audience, it is also beneficial to the performers.

“I find all of the kids come out of here motivated and encouraged, so I find it’s a very uplifting experience,” said Campbell.

Agapè Centre Spring Fling supports food bank PHARMACY

PHARMACIE

Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

PHARMACY CORNWALL, Ontario – ThePHARMACIE Agapè Centre’s first Fifties and Sixties Spring Fling drew a sold out crowd to the Agora Catholic Centre on Saturday, March 30.

Attendees tore up the dance floor to classic tunes late into the evening for a good cause, with many dressed in their best 50s and 60s era clothing. The centre was decorated to emulate the retro, Spring vibes with music note balloons, decorative flower art and more. Tickets into the dance were $15 each. Attendees also had the opportunity to engage in a live and silent auction.

“The night is great…for our first event, it’s an absolutely amazing success ,” said Maurice Dupelle, Chairman of Agapè Centre Board of Directors. “We are sold out with over 350 people in attendance. We’re here with a live auction, silent auction and a draw for $500 in loonies, and all proceeds are going to help end hunger for the Agapè Centre.”

“The overwhelming support of people purchasing tickets to get in has been amazing and we are really pleased with the turnout,” he added.

Dupelle explained that all proceeds from the evening will be going towards the Agapè Centre’s food bank and soup kitchen.

Stephanie Nalepa, Fundraising Coordinator, also thought the night was going incredibly well.

“This year is the first annual Spring Fling…of course, with the great turnout, we are definitely hoping it will be something people look forward to coming to every year,” said Nalepa.

Dupelle and Nalepa thanked the AM/FM band for entertaining the crowd, as well as auctioneer Peter Ross for donating his time. Rona and The Agora Centre were also thanked for their support.The fundraiser raised a total of approx. $11,000.

The Agapè Centre’s next community fundraiser will be a Murder Mystery Dinner, taking place in June.

develop on it. She, and many other attendees, shared stories of playing on the land as children beside the home known as the stone house. The home, as many described as their fixer-upper farm house fantasy, is feared to be forgotten if the development is to move forward.

“The inventory of vacant lots in this area is insane. Go down Manning Rd., go into Chase Meadows, go into Arrowhead Estates…” added Gardner. “All I’m asking is you understand we want green in this village, we want history in this village and we want this village to remain like the village it was that we all grew up in. I’m not against progress.”

Cameron acknowledged the concerns of community members but maintained that through his plan, his rental development is attempting to blend in and reduce the overall footprint of the area, and he believes that he is following the rules.

“I think it’s time to stop looking at one lot at a time and start looking at our village as a whole.

What do we want our community to look like?” said Helen Dunlop, community member.

SOUTH STORMONT, Ontario – About 30 concerned community members attended a special meeting at South Stormont Township on Wednesday, March 27 to discuss proposed rezoning amendments pertaining to 23 Moulinette Rd. Tensions were running high among attendees as many voiced their concerns over the safety of the community and the historical significance of the property.

Marty Cameron, the individual seeking to develop on the property, is proposing to construct a four unit townhome on the approx.

37,000 sq. ft vacant land at 23 Moulinette Rd., which is not permitted under the current zoning.

Cameron has requested a special exception to allow that certain zone provisions be reduced, including minimum footage, front and rear setbacks as well as exterior side yard setbacks.

“What I see here when I see that (proposal) is…I see houses that have to be put sideways to cram into that lot as full as you can…it seems like the standards can be bought…and with the right price tag, you can do what you want in this village,” said Gillian Gardner, community member.

Gardner said she would have purchased the property if she knew an individual cared to

Bag limit? Big deal?

Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

The City of Cornwall’s new waste management by-law came into effect on Monday, April 1, and it is no joke.

Amongst other things, the new by-law institutes a bag limit of six per household, that is to say, six per any home that has six units or less.

The goal of this bag limit is to reduce the amount of waste going to the landfill, and I also believe that it will encourage more recycling.

Keeping recyclables out of the landfill will help extend its lifespan past 2030 and save all the taxpayers of Cornwall the significant expense of creating a new one. There is also the nice added bonuses that it will help keep our environment clean and that the municipality makes a return on recycled items, particularly aluminum foil.

There have been two reactions to this new bag limit that are polar opposite to one another. First there are the people who think it goes too far, and then the second camp who think it doesn’t go far enough.

I’m much closer to the second camp. I think it is a good start and is a sign that the City is heading in the right direction in terms of environmental preservation.

I have seen some comment that there is no way they could adequately accommodate a limit of putting out six bags of garbage a week. Some say it will lead to garbage piling up in the streets. My response is, how is anyone creating that much garbage?

I live in a household of two, plus a small dog. We produce one large bag of garbage every two weeks. For recycling on the other

hand, we average two large blue bags a week.

Now for a family of four, I still don’t see how they would produce more than one or two bags of garbage a week, maybe three if they have a new baby.

this generation will face and if we as a city can take a small step to reduce our ecological footprint while saving money a the same time, I don’t see how that could be anything but a win-win.

On Sunday March 17th, 2019, I said good night for the last time on the taxi radio. I was the owner/operator of Car #4 at Choice Taxi and one of Cornwall’s most senior taxi operators. The time had come to sell my taxi plate and end my taxi career. I leave with a heavy heart and many tears after 38 years of service. It was in July of 1981 when I began driving taxi because the jobs in Cornwall were not plentiful and someone pointed out that there were always openings for taxi drivers.

I decided to give it a try as a driver until February 1985 when I took the plunge and became a plate owner. I began with Veteran’s Modern Cab. It gradually became the only taxi company in Cornwall for about 10 years until June 2003 when 8 other owners and I founded Choice Taxi.

The taxi industry has seen many changes over the years however my main concern and focus has always been to offer the best customer service for the community of Cornwall. I did so by working long

hours, maintaining a clean and reliable car and putting many extra hours attending taxi meetings designed to set and improve standards for the taxi industry. I ate, slept and breathed taxi, putting my heart and soul in the business every day.

I want to take this opportunity to give a heartfelt thanks to all the customers of Cornwall for their support over the years. It has been an honour serving you, your grand-parents, parents, families and friends. Many wonderful seniors told me that they were proud to be able to maintain their independence because they were able to use taxis to go to their various appointments or to run errands without disrupting the busy lives of their children.

I will certainly miss the interaction with the

public that I’ve had for so long.

I also want to say thank you to all the other taxi owners, dispatchers and former employees, for all that they have done for me over the years.

Truly, Bill Huygen

It is back to the future when it comes to waterfront property declared surplus (aka for sale) by the feds and calls for the city to secure a big chunk of it.

Turn back the clock to 1971 and the great debate over the future of Cornwall Canal (from Cumberland Street to the St. Lawrence River) and what was called the canal lands south of the waterway.

The Civic Waterfront Redevelopment Committee urged the city to purchase all of the property - about 80 acres - and designate all of it green space that would include a park.

The Seaway Authority planned to close its shops on the south side of the canal and move the 45 jobs to Quebec. Mayor Nick Kaneb favoured keeping the shops on the property and saving the jobs. If successful in convincing the Seaway Authority not to close the shops, only the land from Amelia Street to the old bywash would be available for parkland.

Ironically, that is most of the prime land now up for grabs.

Mayor Kaneb said that the city was negotiating with the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority to acquire the property for a nominal price. The committee said a nominal price should be $1.

Meanwhile, the Seaway International Bathtub Derby organizers called on the city to convince the Seaway Authority not to fill in the canal east from Cumberland.

It said for $400,000 the city could fill in the canal to a depth of five feet which would make it a mecca for water sports, including skating in the winter, and enhance the downtown area.

In the end, the shops closed and the jobs moved to Quebec, the federal government filled in the canal but the city

acquired much of the property for that nominal fee. And today, we have Lamoureux Park. ********** Will somebody wake up the #MeToo folks. Seems they have slept in on the dust up involving three female members of the Liberal caucus and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and friends.

The three - two of whom were cabinet ministers who turned in their titles - have accused Trudeau the Younger, a self-proclaimed defender of women, of being a bully.

The silence from feminists is, as the saying goes, deafening.

Well, not quite.

Two prominent female members of the Trudeau government have jumped to defend the boss and in the case of former attorney-general Jody WilsonRaybould, who kick started the issue, they have called her out.

Expect more of the same.

Good commanders know that a counter-attack decides the battle. ********** WHERE THE SUN SHINES BRIGHTEST Cornwall must be one of the few, if not the only, Ontario municipalities where the police chief (2017) - $199,021 - is paid more than the chief administrative officer and where two of the three highest paid municipal employees are members of the police service. ... Total salaries paid in 2017 to the top three police service employees came to $524,534. Over at City Hall, total salaries to top three managers was $509,986. (City managers had their salaries frozen in 2018). ... The city, with around 550 employees) had 69 staffers (33 from the fire department) on the Sunshine list who earned a total of $7,225,353, while Cornwall Police Service had 63 members (about half the force) in the six-figure club who earned a total of $8,100,341. ...

CORNWALL, Ontario - L’École secondaire publique l’Héritage a organisé le Tournoi d’impro du Conseil des écoles publiques de l’Ontario (CEPEO) les jeudi 28 et vendredi 29 mars.

Les élèves de la commission scolaire ont participé à des performances improvisées qui les ont obligés à penser rapidement.

«C’est très bon pour la créativité dans une courte période. Les étudiants ont 20 à 30 secondes pour se préparer », a déclaré Eric Barrette du CEPEO. «Ils peuvent participer à une

activité francophone devant d’autres étudiants. » Les élèves de 7 e et 8 e années ont concouru jeudi avec environ 90 élèves. Le lendemain, les élèves de la 9e à la 12e année ont accueilli environ 60 participants.

Les gagnants de la première journée étaient Les Mini-Zouaves, de L’ÉSP Le Sommet dans la catégorie A et Les Rebelles, de L’ÉSP Louis-Riel dans la Catégorie B. Sommet et Les Zouaves de l’ESP Le Sommet.

Les étudiants venaient d’aussi loin que Pembroke, Kingston et Ottawa.

Une histoire à raconter Par Gilles Davidson

« Le souvenir est le parfum de l’âme », dit George Sand. De son côté, Colin Powell affirme « Nos souvenirs les plus réconfortants sont ceux de notre enfance ».

Mon séjour au jardin d’enfants fut à la fois mémorable et monotone. Avec le temps, j’avais appris plusieurs choses, en particulier, à me retenir. Aller à la toilette était hors de question.

Vous connaissez l’histoire... Je crois que j’étais un des seuls en classe à pouvoir réciter le « Je vous salue Marie » par cœur. Vous vous demandez quel rapport existe entre me retenir et le « Je vous salue Marie »?

Ce qui explique ce détail n’est certainement pas mon désir d’aller au ciel ou de démontrer ma grande piété. C’était plutôt une façon de me donner une force surhumaine qui me permettrait de me rendre à la maison à toute vitesse sans me mouiller. Donc, la pause du dîner et la sortie des classes étaient une course contre le temps. Je vous avoue que pendant plusieurs années à Sainte-Croix, la Sainte Vierge courait à mes côtés et ça marchait l’affaire!

Les expériences vécues avec les jeunes de mon âge, dans la cour d’école et dans le voisinage,ont contribué, en partie, à la formation de mon caractère. Toutefois, avoir du caractère c’est avoir de la volonté, du courage, de l’audace et être ferme. C’est aussi haïr la violence

et la cruauté et mépriser ceux qui abusent et qui profitent des autres. C’est reconnaître la valeur de l’engagement personnel, du sens de la responsabilité, de la coopération, et de la loyauté. Des qualités souhaitables qui prennent essor au sein de la famille et de l’école. C’est avec cet énoncé que je tourne mon regard sur la cour de l’école Sainte-Croix pour vous faire part d’une expérience particulière.

La cour d’école couvrait une grande superficie. Elle s’étendait est en ouest de la rue Léonia à la rue Anthony. Sur sa longueur direction nord-sud, elle partait de l’édifice original de l’école et allait rejoindre les cours arrière des maisons sur la rue Walton. La partie nord de notre cour d’école m’attirait tout particulièrement, car l’automne et surtout au printemps, elle était inondée. Cette partie du terrain se transformait en un étang qui attirait les jeunes du voisinage. Pendant l’hiver, grâce aux bons conseils de mon père, j’ai appris à patiner sur cette belle surface de glace.

Là, de nombreuses heures furent consacrées à patiner, à glisser, à jouer et à socialiser. Certains de mes amis y passaient des journées entières.

Pour éviter de retourner à la maison, certains préféraient étancher leur soif en perçant la glace avec un bon coup de patin. L’eau qui jaillissait était désaltérante avec un petit arrière-goût de je ne sais pas quoi! Ça, c’est de l’initiative!

Au printemps, l’endroit devenait une mer.

Les gars avec des bottes de caoutchouc

pouvaient traverser l’étang sans trop d’ennui.

C’était devenu un genre de compétition à savoir qui pouvait se rendre d’un côté à l’autre sans se mouiller les pieds. Ces jeunes intrépides chassaient la peur et démontraient un courage admirable. C’est à ce moment que ce désir de traverser l’étang en bottes de caoutchouc est devenu pour moi une obsession.

Au printemps de ma 6e année, j’ai commencé à achaler mes parents pour des bottes.

Pendant plusieurs semaines, j’ennuyais mon père et j’encourageais ma mère en expliquant les avantages d’avoir des bottes de caoutchouc.

Des bottes avec une semelle orange et une bande décorative de la même couleur qui entourait le haut. J’en avais remarqué chez V & L Shoe Store lors d’une visite avec ma mère pour l’achat de bottes roses pour une de mes sœurs.

Rose, yukkk!

Après deux semaines d’argumentation futile, de regards sévères et de commentaires décourageants de mes parents, j’avais perdu espoir. Que pour le reste de ma courte vie je serais poigné avec ces maudites bottes d’hiver noires, deux tailles plus grandes (pour pouvoir les porter au moins trois ans) avec quatre attaches ajustables en métal qui ne valaient pas cinq cents.

Un samedi après-midi, je suis entré dans la maison comme un coup de vent.

J’étais essoufflé et fatigué après avoir passé plusieurs heures dehors avec mes amis. Maman

m’appela vers elle et avec son sourire chaleureux, elle me présenta une boîte. J’étais stupéfait, surpris, et demeurai bouche bée.

J’ai pris la boîte à deux mains et je me suis assis sur une chaise de cuisine. Pendant une minute, j’ai regardé cette boîte surprise sans l’ouvrir afin de ne pas être déçu. Toutefois, ce qui me chatouillait le nez était le parfum agréable de caoutchouc neuf qui s’y échappait. Prenant mon courage à deux mains j’ai enlevé le couvercle. À ma grande surprise, une paire de bottes de caoutchouc neuves me sauta aux yeux! Des bottes avec une semelle orange et une bande décorative de la même couleur qui entourait le haut. J’étais au ciel! Mon impossible rêve s’était enfin réalisé.

Ce soir là, avant le dodo, j’ai remercié mes parents pour ce geste inoubliable. J’étais conscient que nous n’étions pas en moyen et que Maman et Papa avaient fait un sacrifice financier pour m’accorder ce grand bonheur. En me couchant, j’ai placé mes nouvelles bottes à côté de mon lit. Fixant le plafond de ma chambre faiblement éclairé par la lampe de cuisine, j’ai rêvé à toutes les possibilités que ces bottes pouvaient me donner. J’étais enfin libre! Je me suis endormi heureux, avec l’odeur plaisante de caoutchouc. Ce que je ne réalisais pas à ce moment de ma jeune vie c’est que la liberté entraîne des responsabilités et des conséquences.

www.cornwallseawaynews.com - Cornwall Express - Le mercredi 3 avril, 2019 - 11

Échéancier des travaux : • Les travaux de construction reprendront le lundi 1er avril 2019.

• La fermeture quotidienne d’une voie en direction de l’est et d’une voie en direction de l’ouest est prévue sur l’autoroute 401 du 1er au 5 avril 2019. La limite de vitesse sera réduite à 80 km/h lors de la fermeture des voies.

• Pour la période du 8 avril 2019 au 8 novembre 2019, la circulation sur l’autoroute 401 se limitera à une voie de circulation de 3,5 mètres dans chaque direction. Ces voies de circulation seront aménagées sur les voies en direction de l’ouest et seront accessibles par la traverse médiane déjà construite. Le remplacement du passage supérieur en direction de l’est au-dessus de la rue Pitt sera terminé avant le 8 novembre 2019 et l’autoroute 401 reprendra sa configuration normale.

• On prévoit que la rue Pitt sera fermée, entre le chemin Tollgate et le chemin South Branch, pour un total de 15 jours de la mi-avril à la fin de novembre, lorsque cela sera nécessaire pour terminer la construction du passage supérieur de l’autoroute 401 en direction de l’est. Les panneaux de signalisation seront mis en place bien avant les fermetures prévues pour aviser le public en conséquence.

• Lors des fermetures de la rue Pitt, un détour bien signalisé sera mis en place pour faciliter les déplacements du public par le chemin Tollgate E, l’avenue McConnell et le chemin South Branch.

• Durant les travaux de construction, la hauteur libre sur la rue Pitt sera de 3,6 m.

• Alors que les véhicules sur l’autoroute 401 utiliseront la traverse médiane au-dessus de la rue Pitt, l’autoroute 138 (avenue Brookdale) en direction nord vers la bretelle d’accès de l’autoroute 401 de l’est sera fermée. La circulation sera déviée en direction sud vers la bretelle d’accès de l’autoroute 401 de l’est de l’avenue Brookdale.

CORNWALL, Ontario – The annual Spring Home & Leisure Show is fast approaching.

Taking place at the Cornwall Civic Complex from Friday, April 5 to Sunday, April 7, this year’s show will have dozens of vendors, and a whole lot of prizes to get attendees ready for the spring renovation season.

“The Show is a plus for consumers throughout the Cornwall region,” said Cornwall Chamber of Commerce Executive Manager, Lezlie Strasser.

“Under one roof, consumers will find over 100 exhibitors with a great selection of the latest products and services, focused on home and leisure activities for the warm summer season.

The event is under a month away and we want to get the word out so people start planning for a visit.”

The Cornwall Chamber of Commerce is presenting the show in partnership with St. Lawrence Pools. Some of the fantastic prizes to be given away this year include a new Trager Grill and gift pack.

“This year again, the Chamber is partnering with St. Lawrence Pools,” said Strasser. “The grand prize is a spectacular $1,500 Traeger Pro 34 Pellet BBQ. It comes with a terrific accessory package along with a $1,000 gift certificate for food purchases with a total value of over $3,000.”

Strasser explained that the show will not only be informative, but also fun.

“Visitors will have an opportunity to get their questions answered about various aspects of living in the City. We’re also pleased that Summerheights and Hits 94.7 will once again present its popular indoor long drive golf challenge,” she said.

specifically for the Ontario climate to take the wind and snow without buckling or showing signs of wear. The Acrylite panels are guaranteed for 30 years not to discolour or show any effect from U.V. rays. In short, they are the perfect way to ensure your backyard experience is ideal in every outdoor season for many years to come. They can be attached to homes to cover decks and patios or built as stand-alone covers in any corner of the yard.

If you are looking for more than just a patio or deck cover, Ontario Patio Covers has five different ways to fully enclose the area. From screened rooms to sliding Lumon glass walls that preserve your view, they can create a three season room that will allow you to extend your outdoor season into the spring and fall months. Each patio cover and enclosure is custom designed to suit your specific home and backyard plans.

here’s nowhere anyone would rather be on a beautiful summer day than on the backyard deck, in a comfortable chair, sipping a cool drink. And yet, this perfect scenario can so easily be spoiled if the sun is too hot and too direct.

There are dozens of solutions to block the sun, but nothing is as effective or rewarding as a Ontario Patio Covers. With almost magical qualities, the covers block all U.V. rays and 75 per cent of infrared rays (which create heat). Now you can protect your family and furniture from the elements, yet stay comfortably cool. And when the weather shifts, you’re still protected from the wind and rain.

Ontario Patio Covers use Acrylite panels to filter out heat and U.V. while letting the natural light shine in, to create the perfect patio atmosphere.

There isn’t a giant solid awning casting a shadow not only on the deck but on the room behind the adjacent windows. There isn’t a large umbrella that has to be folded down every time the wind picks up. And there isn’t a retractable sunshade that has to be cranked into position every time someone wants to sit outside.

Tips from the Experts Decorative Concrete

Seaway Custom Concrete has a variety of decorative concrete floors that can be designed to fit any pattern or style the customer desires. The advantages of a decorative concrete floor is that there are no joints or creases and there won’t be pieces that chip off. Concrete is a water proof and coste effective way to protect your floor.

Keep water away

WinMar cannot emphasize enough the importance of keeping water away from your home this Spring season. Make sure that water is not pooling near the foundation of your house and that your eaves troughs are clean. If you live in the country make sure your sump pump is working and also up to the job of draining water away.

The Sting of Composites

Chris Emard First there’s the “ouch!” followed by the wince, then the slap, then the rubbing of the area in question, then it’s over. That, in a nutshell, describes the experience of buying composite decking. It’s essentially that first little financial sting of summer. Muhammed Ali used to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. However, the composite sting won’t topple you over like an Ali punch, but it will grab your attention, and depending on your budget status, the financial hit will most likely be somewhere between the sting of a wasp, and that of a mosquito. So, why put yourself through such an unpleasant financial experience? Because it’s worth it, and is basically like accepting a sting today, then receiving a free pass from the mosquitoes, bees, and balance of the biting insect world for the next 25 years. In other words, the price of composite decking relates directly to the cost of freedom, or at least having most summer weekends off for the next 20+ years. Are composite decks totally maintenance free? Not quite, although they could be. Because the finish on composite decking is so terrific looking, you’re going to want to keep it clean. So, this chore will require a quick spray using the garden hose (put your pressure washer in the dumpster) followed by a sweep with soft bristled 24” push broom.

What to look for in composite decking? Choose either a solid PVC or PVC wrapped product. This, as opposed to the solid composite, or old recipe products that are a mixture of recycled plastics and wood fibers. These original recipe products are often on sale, but they’re to be avoided.

Although definitely cheaper in price, pure composites won’t wear as well, and aren’t nearly as stain and scratch resistant as the solid PVC or PVC wrapped products. What to remember when designing your composite deck? Decking planks come in 8, 12, 16, and 20 foot lengths, and, at 5-6 dollars per linear foot, waste will be expensive. So, plan your deck surface accordingly. Good building.

How to fight the Ash Borer

The Emerald Ash Borer is a small insect that ravishes ash trees by killing their root system. If a homeowner suspects that an ash tree has been infected, then the tree should be gotten rid of right away, or it will only get more expensive to remove. As the tree dies and rots away, it becomes more dangerous to take down and more dangerous to the property or powerlines around it. Costs of taking down a rotted tree could jump to $300-$400.

The time is now

The time to plant trees is now. The ground is soft and wet, just the way young saplings like it. Be sure to know what kind of tree you are planting however and where you are planting it, or you might have problems later on, especially if the tree’s root system takes over your yard, or if the tree grows into some power lines.

Keeping in the Green

Roger Masse of Masse Furniture says that everyone can stay in the green by using green appliances. Whether it be energy efficient stoves or washers that use as little soap as necessary, not only are these appliances good for the environment, but they’re also good for your wallet.

When to put down fencing

LV Fencing of Williamstown says that to avoid damage to the ground and to install a fence as solidly as possible, to wait until the ground is a little dryer before installing. May is the usual Spring start time for installing fences, but that can vary based on the weather.

The frontline of dental care Nick Seebruch CORNWALL, Ontario – Since 2009, the Polished Tooth has been working to keep teeth clean and prevent problems before they become serious.

“A dentist’s specialty is the hard structures of the teeth, my specialty is the soft structures which are the gums and supporting structures,” said Catherine Fontaine, Registered Dental Hygienist and owner of the Polished Tooth.

Fontaine bought the Polished Tooth in 2017, and in 2018 opened a new office in Cornwall.

Their original office still operates in Alexandria.

As a part of the continuing dental and periodontal care that the Polished Tooth provides, they employ preventative measures like fluoride treatment, oral cancer screening, and continuing preventive care which can include debridment or plaque removal and measuring the depth of gums.

Gums can indicate disease or a periodontal problem.

“We’re specifically based on prevention,” said Fontaine. “We give an objective opinion on what the next steps are if a filling is needed or a tooth repaired.”

Fontaine said that at the Polished Tooth, it was important for them that their clients have a role in their care.

“We discuss openly with our patients what we think needs to happen and then refer them

to the appropriate specialist,” she said.

Fontaine says that there are strategies that clients can employ at home to help with their tooth and gum care.

In addition to brushing twice a day and flossing at least once, people can also benefit from and essential oil mouthwash rinse which will help reduce bacteria. Products like Listerine

Quilting combines an artistic aesthetic with an antique feel, says Denise Labelle-Gelinas.

“It’s like going back in time and looking at the art of what can be created with fabrics,” she said. “There’s kind of a mystery to it all. It’s an art form.”

Quilts of all colours, shapes and sizes will be on display throughout the historical church.

In addition to the quilts there will also be a merchant mall with 10 vendors selling supplies, crafts and gifts for all ages.

“It’s a great opportunity to meet and speak with other quilters and share tips and tricks,” added Mrs. Dorion. “It’s also a perfect way to get an introduction to the world of quilting.”

The Quilts of the Seaway Show runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, April 26 and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday April 27.

The seldom-used drains, such as a floor drain can often get stale and smell. This is because most drains, down inside where we can’t see, have a curve of pipe called a p-trap that holds some of the water we flush down to block sewer smells from coming up through the drain. But if it sits for a long time with no new liquid going down,the water in the trap will evaporate and let sewer gas seep up. To prevent this,you can pour a gallon of fresh water with a little pine cleaner down the drain at least once a month to keep the trap operating properly.

ages of 12 and 22 in Canada and 90 per cent are Canadian citizens. She noted from her work that human trafficking victims are often in vulnerable financial situations and have grown up in average to below average socioeconomic conditions. She noted various trends involved with human trafficking, such as ‘Romeo Pimping’, in which the trafficker reassures the victim and provides them with a false sense of security and protection. She also discussed feelings of shame and judgement from survivors, how many are afraid to tell police or anyone their stories out of guilt.

“I’m not a fan of sharing stats because it is onesided and not full sided,” said Diamond, referring to statistics on the issue typically coming from the justice system, when cases from different community-based organizations may not be accounted for. “I have people on my current caseload who have been trafficked through Cornwall, but these are anecdotal stories and we need evidence. We need empirical evidence. It’s lacking everywhere.”

Diamond emphasized that individuals are increasingly being lured and groomed into the industry through social media.

“I think the task forces have done an amazing job, getting community involvement and community partners involved in the issue to better care and support people in your community, and anyone coming in who may need help. I want to congratulate and encourage them to continue doing that type of work,” said Diamond.

“Getting the community involved, and having them know how to spot the signs or what to do in a situation (is important)…” said Diamond.

Diamond said that although Cornwall is primarily a transit location, individuals from the area have been trafficked as well. She said that among testimonials of survivors from across the province and other related videos, footage of a girl leaping out of a moving vehicle to get away from her trafficker here in Cornwall was to be shown during the conference.

Diamond shared sobering statistics during her presentation, informing the audience that 99 per cent of human trafficking victims are between the

CORNWALL, Ontario – Members of the public were invited to learn more about how human trafficking and sexual exploitation influences Canadians at a local and global level on Monday, March 25.

Human Trafficking – A Community Response conference, held at Ramada Inn, drew a full audience seeking to learn more about how youth are targeted and how to react proactively. Speaker Casandra Diamond, Founder and Executive Director of BridgeNorth, a survivor-lead agency that strives to eliminate sexual exploitation in Canada, spoke about her experience being sexually exploited for 9 years, and shared her accomplishments through BridgeNorth.

“It’s really important for Cornwall to get involved in this because unfortunately it’s really a transit location,” said Diamond. “We are in what is

Lawson MacDougall of Martintown seems to have had a good season with the Hobart College men’s hockey team. He played 28 games this season, scored 9 goals, had 12 assists, 56 shots on goal and 21 points.

Danielle McLeod, the manager of the HGMH pool has moved on to pursue other opportunities. Unfortunately, this means that the pool will be working on a reduced schedule until a new recruit is found.

A little guy gets on a plane and sits next to the window. A few minutes later, a big, heavy, strong mean-looking, hulking guy plops down in the seat next to him and immediately falls asleep.

The little guy starts to feel a little airsick, but he’s afraid to wake the big guy up to ask if he can go to the bathroom. He knows he can’t climb over him, and so the little guy is sitting there, looking at the big guy, trying to decide what to do.

Suddenly, the plane hits an air pocket and an uncontrollable wave of nausea passes through the little guy. He can’t hold it in any longer and he pukes all over the big guy’s chest.

About five minutes later the big guy wakes up, looks down, and sees the vomit all over him.

“So,” says the little guy, “are you feeling better now?”
