Banana Drop Cookies

Jennifer Desnoyers

Simply Unwrapped

SIMPLY JENNIFER

When my kids were little they loved store bought bear paws, I however did not love the list of ingredients on the package. After a few attempts, I managed to create a healthier alternative for them and it was a hit. These are not what you would normally think of as a cookie. , their soft, cake like consistency will leave you wanting more Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 3-4 rip banana’s (about 1 cup mashed)

• 1 cup of coconut sugar

(I’ve had it down to 1/4up)

• 1 to 1 ½ cups apple sauce

• 2 flax egg *

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract alcohol free

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda

• ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

• 2 ¼ cups flour ( I use organic spelt flour)

*1 tablespoon ground flax seeds + 3 tablespoons warm water mix well. Allow mixture to sit for 5 minutes. I have noticed that using warm water helps quicken the thickening process.

Preheat oven to 400˚F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Before

Chelsea Kuhn-Grisé has over 15 years of experience as a hearing healthcare professional. She received her diploma from Grant MacEwan University in Edmonton, Alberta, and completed a Bachelor's Degree in Gerontology with a concentration in Dementia Studies at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario.

Outside of work, she is an avid musician who believes that everyone should be able to fully enjoy music, regardless of hearing ability, and strives to help her clients and hometown community achieve that goal.

I begin any recipe, I always get my flax eggs ready unless I have some already made in the fridge. Combine all ingredients one by one into your mixer. If you do not have a mixer, an electric handheld or good old hard work will do just fine. Mix until well incorporated. This batter is usually a little sticky and runny so I usually allow the batter to refrigerate for 10 minutes. Makes it a little easier to spoon. You may also pipe the batter but I prefer the natural rustic look of the cookies when dropped by the tablespoon. Spoon batter onto prepared baking sheet, two inches apart to allow room for them to rise and plump. Bake for ten minutes and cool for five on sheet.

Cornwall hospital asking for kindness when visiting the Emergency Department

Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) is reminding the community that they could experience a wait time when visiting the Emergency Department and is urging for more patience and kindness with its staff and physicians.

Patients in the Emergency Department are seen according to the urgency of their injuries or illness, rather than the order in which they arrive. This triage process is used at all Emergency Departments across Canada and allows hospitals to prioritize care for the sickest patients.

Like other hospitals, wait times for lower urgency cases in the Emergency Department at CCH have been slightly longer than usual as the hospital manages both staffing and capacity challenges. Unfortunately, staff and physicians have been experiencing increased verbal and physical abuse from frustrated patients and families.

“There is a lot happening behind the scenes that you may not see in a waiting room. For example, a trauma or patient experiencing an overdose may arrive by ambulance, or perhaps we need to prioritize a patient who is having a stroke or a heart attack. In those instances, it is a full team effort to care for the patient and others may have to wait, perhaps longer than usual, as we work through some challenges. This is not unique to CCH,” explains Dr. Anastasios Boubalos, Chief of Staff at Cornwall Hospital.

The Emergency Department at CCH sees approximately 135 patients every day. Despite the hospital working through some staffing and capacity challenges, according to provincial data for January 2023, the vast majority of high-urgency patients finished their emergency visit at CCH well under the

provincial target of 8 hours, spending just 5.6 hours of total time in the Emergency Department. The average time for all emergency patients to be seen by a physician was just 2.8 hours in January. More importantly, the Emergency Department at CCH has also remained open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

“Our emergency teams are working nonstop to provide uninterrupted care for our community and are doing the best that they can. We understand that you may be in discomfort or pain as you wait to be treated, but please remain kind with our staff and physicians who are committed to providing equitable and exceptional care,” urged Jeanette Despatie, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cornwall Hospital.

Ontario Health 811 is also available for free for anyone who wishes to speak with a registered nurse, day or night, for secure and confidential health advice. Ontario Health 811 may also direct patients to virtual urgent care services and help with urgent care delivery that does not need to be in person. Ontario Health 811 is available at https://healthconnectontario.health.gov.on.ca or by calling 811. In the event of a medical emergency, do not hesitate to call 911 or present yourself to your nearest hospital Emergency Department.

As CCH prioritizes Enhancing Access to Care and focusing on People as part of its 2022-2027 Strategic Plan, the hospital hired 200 staff in 2022 and welcomed 8 new doctors to better meet the needs of our community. The hospital’s recruitment efforts remain ongoing.

Retired Cornwall educator self-publishes children’s

book

KRYSTINE THERRIAULT ktherriault@seawaynews.media

Deborah Ann Zabloski, known as Debbie, is a retired teacher and school principal. During COVID, Zabloski self-published a children’s book titled My Mother Made a Quilt, based on her life growing up in Cornwall, Ontario.

“I always wanted to write a children’s book.

I had initially sent it to a few companies hoping that they would pick it up along with a few other books I had written but no one got back to me,” Zabloski shared, “I thought dur ing COVID, why not use this time to do a pro ject and tick it off.”

The demonstration coincided with International Quilting Day and was an opportunity for the Cornwall Quilters’ Guild to promote their upcoming event, Quilts on the Seaway, taking place at St. John’s Presbyterian Church on April 14th and 15th.

The Cornwall Quilters’ Guild was

established in 1992 and currently has over 50 active members. April’s quilt show will be the first in four years due to the pandemic. There will be over 300 quilts on display, a boutique with quilted items on display, and a bed turning announced by town crier Wes Libbey.

“Quilts on the bed, two people hold them up and someone tells a story. Every quilt has a story behind it. So that’s always interesting. We do those twice a day at 11am and 2pm,” said Sharon Magee.

Mayor Justin Towndale will be at the event on Saturday morning to present the Best of Show.

Understanding different types of dementia

Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe the loss of neurons in the brain, a condition that worsens over time. Here are the four main types.

1. ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE

Alzheimer’s disease occurs when abnormal clusters of protein fragments slowly destroy memory and the ability to think. Common symptoms include getting lost, repeating questions and not recognizing friends and family. In the late stages of the disease, patients can’t communicate or perform simple tasks and must depend on others for care.

2. FRONTOTEMPORAL DEMENTIA (FTD)

FTD describes a condition in which neurons are damaged in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. Symptoms include trouble communicating, impaired judgment and decreased self-awareness. FTD is rare, and symptoms start younger than other types of dementia.

3. LEWY BODY DEMENTIA (LBD)

One of the most common forms of dementia, LBD describes abnormal protein deposits that affect brain chemicals. Symptoms include trouble thinking, loss of muscle control and mobility, mood swings and visual hallucinations.

4. VASCULAR DEMENTIA

thinking and memory. Symptoms can occur gradually or appear suddenly and resemble those of Alzheimer’s. Some people have more than one type of dementia, making diagnosis difficult. Moreover, individual symptoms can vary. There’s no cure for these types of dementia. However, treatments are available. See your doctor if you or someone you know is showing signs of dementia.

My Mother Made a Quilt is an autobiog raphy of Deborah’s early years, growing up with her mother. They lived on Amelia Street across from Central Public. Her father was Archie Adams, her mother was Belle Adams, and they had nine children of which she was the last by a long shot – by nine years.

Since her siblings were much older than she was, many were already off to university or pursuing their careers by the time she was born. Debbie and her mother ended up alone a lot of the time. Her dad passed away when she was 13 and to make ends meet her mother took in boarders. They shared a bedroom which is something that not too many teenagers can attest to.

“In our living room there was always a quilt frame. We would duck under it to go to the kitchen and my mom would always be quilting,” she said, “When Rick and I got married we received a quilt as a wedding gift from her

and it was made of all sorts of fabrics but among those fabrics were fabrics from clothes I had worn. Just a testament to her and her patience and faithfulness and resilience.”

The book is illustrated by local artist Kathi Legault, who Zabloski knew from their time together at St. Michael’s Academy.

“She thought about it a long time and when she got back to me, she asked, ‘Can we use fabric?’ I had not envisioned that,” Zabloski told Seaway News, “Of course, I quilt, so I went through my stash and took out pieces that were the right colors and textures. She did a fantastic job. Its very quirky and whimsical.”

Seaway Valley Soccer Club joins Atlético Ottawa’s powered by program

KRYSTINE THERRIAULT ktherriault@seawaynews.media

A new partnership between the Seaway Valley Soccer Club (SVSC) and Atlético Ottawa will bring new experiences and opportunities to soccer players and coaches in Cornwall and SDG.

U13a Cornwall Typhoons win Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup seventh season

U13A Cornwall Typhoons will donate the grand prize of $100,000 to local charity Beyond 21, empowering adults with developmental disabilities.

The U13A Cornwall Typhoons from Cornwall, Ontario are the winners of the 2023 Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup. The all-female team and their supporters completed 343 good deeds that included organizing a games day for school kids, helping neighbours on snowy days and donating used toys and clothing. The team will donate the $100,000 grand prize provided by Chevrolet Canada to Beyond 21, a charity that empowers adults with developmental disabilities to build the skills and connections needed to achieve their dreams. The donation will support programs that enrich social relationships, foster physical health and hands-on learning opportunities.

“Chevrolet congratulates the U13A Cornwall Typhoons for making a positive impact in their community through all their good deeds “ said James Hodge, brand

director, Chevrolet Canada. “This season we saw close to a thousand good deeds from coast to coast. Chevrolet will continue to support minor and community hockey through programs like Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup.”

“We are unbelievably proud of the U13A Cornwall Typhoons for winning this year’s Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup! The team’s dedication and perseverance in bringing the Cornwall community together with their good deeds was unmatched this season,” says Courtney Lauzon, assistant manager and trainer - U13A Cornwall Typhoons. “The team believes strongly in ensuring all members of our community have equal opportunities for meaningful engagement. We hope our $100,000 prize recognizes the community impact of Beyond 21.”

“This $100,000 gift will go so far in helping local families get the respite they deserve and offer their adult children a safe, inclusive environment to socialize and grow. We couldn’t be more grateful,” said Donna MacGillivray, executive director of Beyond 21.

The SVSC was officially founded in 2008 with minor soccer association roots going back to 1974. As a volunteer run and led organization, their resources are relatively limited. In the past, local players who wanted professional level training had to travel to bigger cities like Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal for soccer camps.

With the birth of the Canadian Premier League, the new professional league founded in 2017, we now have more professional clubs in Canada. Atlético Ottawa’s mission is to grow soccer at the grassroots level in the Capital Region and beyond.

As part of this partnership, soccer players and their coaches from Cornwall will be able to travel to TD Place to see high level games. Atlético Ottawa provides a Club Day where they section off a piece of the stadium and allow groups to go up as a club, watch one of the games together and they also provide a set of experiences as part of that day.

“They allow kids to play on the field at halftime, walk out with the players, stand with them for the national anthem, that kind of stuff,” shared Ed Irvine, SVSC’s Player Development Lead, “Really cool for some of our younger kids to get involved in that and see what a professional does and what a professional game is

actually like.”

To support the SVSC’s growth and development, Atlético provides a lot of access to their resources and professional expertise. They allow clubs to go to training sessions with their coaches and also bring coaches down to Cornwall.

“An enormous amount of coaching development is part of the relationship at relatively low expense. We don’t have to necessarily pay for that so that’s huge for us,” explained Irvine, “Since we run on volunteer coaches it’s sometimes hard to get that kind help and ultimately bring back better expertise for our kids and athletes here.” One of the most exciting announcements coming out of this new partnership is that Atlético is bringing their summer camp to Cornwall from August 10 - 14. Atlético Ottawa is owned by Atlético Madrid, a huge club in Spain. As part of this summer camp, they will bring over coaches from Spain to train players right here in Cornwall at our Kinsmen Field.

“What we were looking for with Atlético Ottawa is another opportunity for our athletes to get identified,” said Irvine, “As a partner they give us access to their ID camps, so we can send some of our top athletes to go be ID’d on more of a high-level track. It’s often hard to get that type of ID outside of major cities so it’s another benefit for us.”

While the SVSC has had some professional soccer players as coaches, including Taylor Beitz and Christina Julien, this partnership will continue to help promising soccer players in Cornwall reach the next level.

When Cornwall Seedy Saturday started eight years ago it was a small event held at the Agape Centre. For the last four years it has been held at the Benson Centre as the March Break event grew in popularity and more space was needed. “We would like to thank our continued sponsors, the City of Cornwall’s Environmental Services Department and the Kinsmen Club of Cornwall for doing the children’s seed market. They’ve sponsored that from the beginning and it’s a really exciting partnership. We’re really happy to have those two partners with us,” said Rendek. The event was well attended by people of all ages. Many children stopped to make crafts from recycled materials provided by Cornwall Art Hive or create bird feeders out of recycled egg cartons. Several members of Cornwall City Council stopped by, including Mayor Justin Towndale and councilors Sarah Good, Elaine MacDonald, and Todd Bennett.

The thin blue line just got thinner

as a city council meeting.

Claude McIntosh MAC’S MUSINGS

INFO@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

The thin blue line got a little thinner last week with the assassination of two young Edmonton police officers ambushed by a 16-year-old armed with a rifle as they responded to one of those so-called routine domestic calls.

The call was made by the mother who didn’t mention to the dispatcher that the kid was armed with the father’s rifle.

Just as with the young rookie Ontario Provincial Police officer ambushed and killed a few months back, they hadn’t drawn their sidearms.

Meanwhile, in Ottawa, a city councillor has her knickers in a knot over members of the Ottawa Police Association hockey team wearing the Thin Blue Line symbol - a tiny patch - on their jerseys at a nondescript charity game witnessed by a couple of hundred folks, mostly family and friends.

She connects the symbol – a black Canadian flag with a thin blue line running across it – to racism and right-wing extremism (as opposed to left-wing racism and extremism) and a rebuke of the racial justice movement.

The main-stream media and social media went bonkers with the story that was paused by the assassinations in Edmonton and wave of nation-wide grief for the fallen officers and outpouring of support for the men and women who make up the Thin Blue Line.

The councillor announced that after her comments went public, she received death threats (nudge-nudge, wink-wink, must be the cops). To his credit, the president of the Ottawa Police Association, who defended the use of the symbol, came to her defence and condemned the threats.

We’re still waiting for the councillor to condemn the assassination of the two Edmonton coppers. Please don’t muddy the waters with the loony idea of replacing cops with social workers. The difference it would have made is that we’d have two dead social workers instead of two dead police officers.

In Canada, and the United States, the real Thin Blue Line refers to front-line officers as the last line of defence against the criminal world.

Some would call it an exaggeration.

But one thing we know for sure is that the last line of defence isn’t the court system.

The circus came to town on the evening of March 20, 1965.

Actually, it was a three-ring circus disguised

Led by future alderman Angelo Lebano, dozens of citizens packed the council chambers to make their beefs known in a less-than-diplomatic manner.

In a bombastic presentation, Lebano blasted council for “wasting” taxpayers’ money. In his cross-hairs were the decisions to construct three swimming pools, to build a youth arena (Bob Turner Memorial Centre) instead of refurbishing the Water Street Arena, and raising property taxes to finance the projects.

He accused council of “blunders, fancy promises and cheap political tricks.”

Lebano took a shot at Mayor Elzear Emard, who owned radio station CJSS, of using the station news department as his person propaganda machine by manipulating the news and editorials, an accusation strongly denied by the mayor who said his son not he ran the station.

Emard laid the blame for the need to increase taxes on former mayor Nick Kaneb He said his predecessor and his council failed to create reserves for much needed infrastructure in order to keep taxes low at election time.

The meeting hit rock bottom when a member of the audience shouted that welfare in the city had made welfare too easy to get, He claimed many male recipients arrived in taxis to pick up their cheques. He said some even changed into old clothes before going into the welfare office. And that many times the cheques were squandered on booze and gambling.

Welfare cheques, he said, should be given to the wives not the man of the household as was common practice.

“And then she (wife) gets beat up because she won’t turn over the cheque,” responded Emard.

“Too bad,” yelled the lout-mouth protester, a member of a prominent city family. “If she lets him hit her, she deserves to get hit.”

The mayor just shook his head as the guy got a ripple of applause from his pals.

MARCH 1965 – This wasn’t the brotherhood speech his audience was expecting.

A city minister who resigned weeks earlier as pastor of St. Paul’ United Church (First and Sydney streets) told the annual Brotherhood Week dinner sponsored by the Jaycees that he was “sick” of “hypocrites” who filled the pews of Christian churches, including his former congregation.

“The (Christian) church is notorious for a lack of brotherhood,” Rev. Frank Ball told his audience.

He said Christian churches were divided into class groups and racial cliques.

“Seldom do we find a congregation which practises the universal meaning of brother-

hood,” said Ball.

He didn’t stop there.

Repeating the Lord’s Prayer, said Ball, is one of the most hypocritical things in the Christian church with few living its words.

Ball’s left-leaning political views got him in hot water with the mostly conservative congregation. Rather than change his strong views on social justice, he resigned. It was either that or be fired.

Today, his views would be embraced by the United Church of Canada.

The Glengarry Highland Games Named One of Ontario’s Top 100 Festivals

Jane in Bonville wonders what’s up with dentists. I want to get some costly work done but they charge 100.00 to 130.00 just for a consultation. Obviously due to the price, I want at least 2 quotes. What is wrong with that? They just want to suck every cent possible out of folks, I guess. Any kind of work I need done; I always get quotes. Why do dentists think they are any different? I will go to one that does not charge for a consult if I can find one. Needless to say, they will add this cost on to bill anyway. Can’t win these days. Very sad.

The Stomping Grounds Bistro and Café located in the heritage Cotton Mills building built in 1873 is a warm, welcoming space. Whether you’re looking to enjoy an excellent cup of coffee, a couple drinks with friends, or a quality meal, they have something for every occasion.

Owner Phil Gilmour opened Stomping Grounds 7 years ago. ‘Stomping grounds’ is an expression meaning a place of familiarity. They offer lunch as well as a bistro style menu for dinner, with a focus on bringing customers fine dining quality with a casual atmosphere.

“I want that quality and all the details that go with it but we’re much more casual,” explained Gilmour, who grew up in Sault St. Marie and spent several years in Thunder Bay after attending school at Lakehead University, “I used to be a professional hockey referee, so I travelled through North America for about ten years. A lot of our menu is based on my experiences on the road.”

Stomping Grounds tries to be farm-to-table as much as possible in the summer months, and does their best to support local yearround, carrying craft beer from Rurban Brewery and wines sourced mostly from Ontario wineries.

Festivals and Events Ontario (FEO) is proud to announce that the Glengarry Highland Games is one of the 2023 Top 100 Festivals & Events in Ontario.

Eric Metcalfe, Glengarry Highland Games President, welcomes the award and states, “ Our goal is to present the best possible Scottish festival and it is rewarding to have this prestigious provincial tourism group recognize our efforts. “

River with close proximity to recreational trails, the café gets a lot of traffic from cyclists and tourists in the summer. In the spring and summer months they incorporate healthy, light lunch options into their menu for active customers stopping in for a bite to eat.

“We’re pretty proud to be part of the Cornwall Tourism scene. We do get a lot of out-of-town traffic and being a part of the community is pretty important to us,” Gilmour said, “I’m a huge advocate of Cornwall.”

The square is a changing! Spring is here and easter is coming!

5 reasons to consider trade school instead of college or university

College and university aren’t the only options for post-secondary education. For some people, trade schools or technical colleges provide an excellent launching point for a satisfying, lucrative career. Here are five advantages of trade school over college or university.

1. You learn by doing. Trade schools provide hands-on learning instead of classroom lectures. Services like auto mechanics, HVAC installation or welding require real-world training with industrial equipment. Students gain practical experience while still in school.

2. You can save money. Trade school tuition can be much lower than college or university costs. Moreover, diplomas take two or fewer years to complete, so you can start earning a full-time income faster than people in fouryear programs. Your student debt will be significantly lower, too.

3. You’re almost guaranteed a job. The demand for skilled workers in plumbing, electri-

upskilling

The terms upskilling and reskilling became buzzwords at the start of the pandemic. Upskilling is about improving an employee’s existing skill set to grow in their current role. In contrast, reskilling focuses on retraining an employee for a new position or discipline. Here are some of the benefits of each.

Upskilling

Upskilling focuses on helping employees learn future-forward skills. Organizations can fill open positions with members of their current workforce. As demand for new skills increases, upskilling can allow an organization to develop the skills needed to remain competitive.

Reskilling

The World Economic Forum estimates that half of all employees worldwide will require reskilling by 2025 due to technological advancement. Reskilling can help increase a company’s bottom line by bringing out its employees’ full potential. Both reskilling and upskilling strategies help your company foster a culture of learning in the workplace and help your employees adapt seamlessly to change.

cal, welding, construction and HVAC services has ballooned. Graduates typically get swept up by employers immediately.

4. You’ll work in your chosen field. Almost three-quarters of graduates from trade schools get jobs in their selected industries. College graduates must often take jobs outside of their degree field.

5. You have job security. No matter how the economy is doing, appliances break down, drains get clogged and houses get built or renovated. Jobs in these trades can provide a stable living wage, allowing you to buy a home and raise a family.

Speak to a career counsellor about the trade school training available in your area.

Weaving Baskets Group Is reimagining the Cornwall Square

When homegrown company Weaving Baskets Group (WBG) took ownership of the Cornwall Square in September 2021, they knew what they had to do: Listen and respond to the community.

“Our redevelopment plans for this anchor property have very much been shaped around what locals have been telling us they want and need in the mall,” said Dale Allen, Director of Business Development, WBG. “It’s an exciting time as we move forward with a vision of re-establishing the Cornwall Square as a landmark destination in the city. It’ll take time and a lot of hard work but we’re up for the challenge.”

In February, WBG launched their large, multiyear redevelopment program. Phase 1 is

currently underway: A total renovation and expansion of the food court. Two new tenants—Juntos Mexican Eatery and Daily Chuck, a Smashburger joint—have signed on to join Tim Hortons, Asian Wagon, Wok Express, Cedars, and Sip and Scoop Bubble Tea. In addition, the company leaked the future opening of Butcher’s Vault. The butcher shop and fromagerie is the vision of well-known local figures Chef Luc McCabe and Ian Bentley, WBG’s Director of Hospitality.

On the heels of that big news, management recently announced a new partnership with the Ottawa office of Marcus and Millichap. WBG hired the firm to lease remaining retail, service, and hospitality spaces in the Cornwall

TO YOURSELF MOMENT

Square shopping centre, in the downtown core. They will work directly with Richard Getz, the Vice President, Leasing for Marcus and Millichap. He is a respected veteran in the industry with more than 40 years of experience of leasing shopping centres.

WBG has expressly directed Getz and his team to market the lease of a 25,000-squarefoot space with an eye on leasing to a grocer— something locals have been clamouring for. The prime location features a separate exterior entrance, dedicated parking, and much foot traffic. Additionally, their team is soliciting interest from restauranteurs for a 5,000-square-foot space with patio and views of Lamoureux Park and the St. Lawrence River.

In the meantime, Marcus and Millichap will continue to showcase retail opportunities in the core of tthe mall to join Shoppers Drug Mart, People’s Jewellers, Laura Secord, and more.

“We are excited to work with this incredible leasing company to fill the mall once again with great restaurants and retailers—and new and returning customers, of course!” said Allen.

WBG will carry on with sharing details with the community on its social media pages and through the media and invites community members to share their feedback on the redevelopment plans.

A storey added to the many-storied house

Nick Wolochatiuk

DANCES WITH WORDS

If you kept last week’s photos, compare them with this week’s c. 2010 one. The barn is gone! That one-storey log house has grown another storey! How that was done would be a story in itself. The narrow road has become a generous two-lane with a vivid yellow centre line.

If you didn’t keep last week’s column and photos, they are available on-line.

Neighbour Pauline told me sometime between 1970 and my 2001 purchase, a sunroom was installed on the north side (no logic to that) and a garage was attached to the road side of the house. Dumb moves! Eventually, the sunroom was moved to a southern exposure, an attached garage built on the north side of the house.

The location of chimney (and stove) went to

the opposite side. Two more utility sheds were built in the back yard.

And now, I’ll tell you about some of the changes I made since purchasing TLC in 2001.

From 1976-2001 and 2001-2019, both of my homes have been heated primarily with firewood. That wasn’t ‘recreational’ heating. I attached a woodshed to the far side of the house. For direct access to it, I added a connecting doorway.

A series of Hydro lines and ones for internet service abound in this 2010 aerial photo. Five poplar trees were planted and are thriving in an orderly north-south line. After this photo was taken, I decided to deal with the nuisance of having them in the way when mowing the lawn, then raking their leaves in the fall. (I know why autumn is called ‘fall’.) To replace their contribution to reducing global warming, more than two dozen evergreens have been planted along the perimeter of the property.

And what about other changes I made, especially to the interior? (Yes, this is beginning to be much like a Chris Emard DIY column.)

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Suzanne Marie Lalonde who passed peacefully at the Cornwall Hospice March 13, 2023 at the age of 67. Loving mother to Ryan Lalonde (Elise) and grandmother to Jonah, Jace and Grayson. She will be dearly missed by her close friend Derek Labonte. Dear sister of Robert Lalonde (Anita), Ronald Lalonde (Rita), Roger Lalonde (Suzanne), Rita Lalonde (late Harry), Reina Lyons, Jean-Paul Lalonde (Carole) and Diane Follon (Derek). Predeceased by her parents Aurele Lalonde and Reine Ida (née Marier), her brother Richard Lalonde (Marlene) and Louis Lalonde. She will also be missed by many nieces and nephews, relatives and friends.

The kitchen’s small single sink was replaced by a large double. The entire counter-top was replaced and extended. “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”, especially since he had regained his bachelor status. I’m not a chef, but I am a cook.

The only person living with me during my occupancy of TLC was Keesha. For her, I broke through a wall (accidentally severing some concealed wiring) to install a ‘doggy door’. That led to a fenced-off grassy area that was at her disposal at any time of night.

The floor sagged about eight inches along its centre line. I sent some construction workers into the crawl space to install concrete-based support posts along the main beam. Rather than stress the entire floor by jacking it up, I had the floor of the room adjacent to the kitchen levelled and covered in ceramic tile. The room’s only window was more than doubled in size. Result: bright during the day time, and made cozy by its wood stove after dark.

The stairway to the bedroom was flanked on

the wall side by a very inadequate 2x4 on-end railing and a half-storey drop into the kitchen on the other side. Rescued from a nearby derelict farmhouse were two fine railings and a magnificent newel post.

TLC is now in someone else’s hands. I’m hoping that it continues to evolve and thrive.

DÉCLARATION DU DR PAUL ROUMELIOTIS

DR PAUL ROUMELIOTIS, MD, CM, MPH, FRCP(C), CCPE MÉDECIN HYGIÉNISTE BUREAU DE SANTÉ DE L’EST DE L’ONTARIO

Ce mois-ci marquant le 3e anniversaire de la pandémie mondiale du coronavirus COVID19 déclarée par l’Organisation mondiale de la santé, je désire revenir brièvement sur quelques-uns des nombreux défis et succès que notre communauté a connus au cours de ces trois dernières années.

Quelques jours après la déclaration de pandémie de l’OMS en mars 2020, les gouvernements fédéral, provinciaux et locaux, ont délivré des ordonnances d’urgence promulguant une série de mesures sans précédent pour contrôler la propagation de la COVID-19 au Canada. Dans la région du Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario, notre réponse aux urgences était déjà déployée depuis plus de trois semaines à la suite du rapatriement des Canadiens qui voyageaient sur le navire de croisière Diamond Princess, où une éclosion de COVID-19 sévissait. Ceux-ci avaient été mis en quarantaine au Centre NAV en février 2020. À la mi-mars, un premier cas d’infection à la COVID-19 a été détecté dans notre région. Ce

fut un parmi des milliers de cas qui ont dramatiquement touché notre région et bien d’autres partout au Canada, au cours des trois années qui ont suivi alors que le virus s’est rapidement propagé tout autour du monde.

Depuis 2020, la pandémie a eu un impact significatif sur tous les aspects de notre société – économiques, sociaux et personnels. Dans notre région seulement, il y a eu plusieurs milliers de cas et d’hospitalisations. De plus, il y a malheureusement eu à ce jour, près de 300 décès à cause de la COVID-19, chacun une perte tragique pour les proches des défunts et pour l’ensemble de notre communauté. Durant ce temps, le gouvernement et les autorités de la santé publique, en parallèle avec le système de santé élargi et une multitude de partenaires communautaires incluant les municipalités et les conseils scolaires locaux, ont travaillé sans arrêt pour tenter de protéger les communautés contre les effets désastreux du virus qui continuait de se propager et d’évoluer en variants plus contagieux l’un que l’autre. Au début de la pandémie, les restrictions incluant les fermetures de commerces et d’établissements publics, les fermetures des écoles, les décrets ordonnant de rester à la maison, le port du masque

obligatoire, et les limites sur les visites dans les hôpitaux et les établissements de soins de longue durée ont été mis en œuvre dans le but de sauver des vies en diminuant la propagation de la COVID-19. Bon nombre de services de santé et gouvernementaux moins urgents ont été interrompus pour pouvoir se concentrer complètement sur cet objectif.

Nous sommes certains que ces mesures, bien que difficiles, ont sauvé beaucoup de vies. Mais nous devons également reconnaître que la pandémie, et les restrictions mises en place pour la gérer, ont causé des difficultés pour bien des gens et des entreprises dans la communauté ainsi que partout au Canada. Nous sommes toujours aux prises avec les effets économiques des nombreuses fermetures d’entreprises. Les fermetures d’écoles et le passage à l’apprentissage en ligne pendant d’importantes périodes au début de la pandémie ont été ressentis sur l’apprentissage et la santé mentale des enfants. L’isolement social, l’anxiété et la dépression ont affecté des personnes de tous les âges. Pour bon nombre, des procédures et rendez-vous médicaux importants ont été annulés tandis que les établissements de santé étaient débordés de cas de COVID-19 tant chez les patients que parmi le personnel. Alors que nous nous remettons de la pandémie, il y aura encore beaucoup de travail à faire pour veiller à ce que tous les individus et les secteurs qui ont subi les impacts négatifs bénéficient du soutien dont ils ont besoin pour se rétablir et prospérer. Le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario s’engage de façon inlassable à travailler avec les partenaires de la communauté locale pour aider les résidents de notre région à se remettre sur pied collectivement. Malgré ces nombreuses difficultés, les trois dernières années se sont aussi avérées une période de résilience, d’adaptation et de progrès. Durant les premières étapes de la pandémie, la mise en œuvre rapide de cliniques de dépistage locales, des mesures d’isolement, de la gestion de cas et des équipes de suivi des contacts ont aidé à restreindre la propagation du virus. Le

développement et l’approbation des vaccins contre la COVID vers la fin de 2020 sont devenus un élément clé du succès de la lutte contre l’impact de la COVID-19 en réduisant dramatiquement les hospitalisations et les décès. Au fur et à mesure que les vaccins devenaient disponibles, les cliniques d’immunisation ont été rapidement mobilisées partout dans la région grâce aux efforts herculéens du personnel de la santé publique, des fournisseurs de soins de santé et des pharmaciens locaux, des municipalités, des chefs de la communauté ainsi que des bénévoles. À ce jour, plus de 550 000 vaccins ont été administrés dans notre région! Des médicaments antiviraux efficaces sont aussi disponibles maintenant, et au cours des trois dernières années, notre incroyable communauté a fait preuve de cœur et d’esprit en adhérant aux mesures de santé publique pour se protéger les uns les autres. Grâce à la collaboration de nos résidents à respecter les restrictions, à suivre les mesures de santé publique et à se faire vacciner, les coûts de la pandémie, bien qu’importants, ont été restreints et diminuent. Aujourd’hui, nous sommes heureusement dans une période relativement stable de la pandémie et il est enfin possible que bien des aspects de notre vie reprennent progressivement un cours normal.

Dorénavant, nous devons rester vigilants et continuer à prendre des mesures personnelles pour nous protéger ainsi que ceux qui nous entourent. Cela comprend rester à jour dans nos immunisations contre la COVID, rester à la maison quand on est malade, se laver souvent les mains et porter un masque dans les endroits publics à l’intérieur, surtout si vous ou un de vos proches courez de plus grands risques de maladie grave. Je suis profondément reconnaissant pour les efforts de tous ceux qui ont joué un rôle dans notre réponse à la pandémie et pour la collaboration et la patience des membres de notre communauté au cours des trois dernières années. Je suis convaincu qu’en continuant à travailler ensemble, nous sortirons de cette pandémie plus forts et plus résilients que jamais.
