The rest of the sessions are devoted to rigorous fitness training with exercises ranging from mountain climbing to burpees, exercises students can do at home. “We are using the school as a living lab to develop and recognize character and de- velop student leaders,” said Kennedy. “SPEC OPS is a dynamic vehicle for children to de- velop skills and fitness and to be exposed to lessons of character to become better hu- man beings.” Students are given their own ID badges created by volunteers Rebecca Besner and Renée Séguin-Lalonde, who keep track of attendance and other accomplishments such as student recognition and registra- tion to ensure the program runs smoothly. “Student engagement increases because students have a reason to come to school and to demonstrate all the great things they can do to make school and their com- munity a better place,” explained Kennedy

CORNWALL | Students at Eamer’s Cor- ners Public School are getting fit and de- veloping character and leadership skills thanks to a unique program called SPEC OPS. The program encourages students in grades 3-6 to volunteer two lunch hours a week, attending sessions that focus on character and fitness development cen- tered around three pillars: active living, character development and student leader- ship. Every Friday, 88 participants also enjoy a sports day. Students attend the sessions and spend the first five minutes in discussions with the principal, Kieran Kennedy, or other “cham- pions”, including staff members, Erin Da- vidson, Sylvie Sabourin and Lianne Chaput, who facilitate rich discussions and experi-

Parks horticulturist subforemanWayne Lauzon and Mayor Bob Kilger planted a haw- thorn tree next to the bandshell in Lamoureux Park on April 22, in recognition of Earth Day. The tree is just one small sign of the City’s commitment to the environ- ment. Each year, the City plants approximately 75 new and replacement trees along City streets and in neighbourhood parks. In addition, the City will be undertaking additional tree-planting efforts in the near future in response to the threat posed by the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). Cornwall’s Earth Day spirit will kick into high gear on May 3, when the annual Spring Clean-UpWeek is launched. During the weeklong event, residents are encouraged to gather a group of friends, family or co-workers and help clean a park, boulevard or other public space.

It’s just a matter of staying in that state of mind.”When asked if being in Corn- wall would help her writing, DeBruin smiles. “Only six more years until the kids graduate from school,” she explained. “Then, we can come back to Cornwall.”

CORNWALL | Striding through the library’s entrance, it is apparent Jennifer DeBruin is a busy but well-organized woman. Hold- ing a sign featuring her smiling face and carrying a heavy bag containing several props, the Cornwall-born storyteller esca- lated the stairs, towards one of the institu- tion’s many conference rooms. “I consider myself more of a storyteller than a writer,” she explained. “I always loved telling stories, even as I was younger, I’d tell them to other people, including my mother.”

Cornwall’s “little historian,” Sara Lauzon, was in the spotlight yet again on April 27, when she delivered her much-anticipated first lecture regarding the area’s history. “I’m so happy to be here tonight,” said Lauzon to a crowd of well over 50 curious individuals. “I will talk to you not only about the house of refuge, but also about Judge O’Reilly and explain some of the pictures I post on my Facebook page.” The lecture fittingly took place in the House of Refuge’s basement. The structure, now commonly known as the Heartwood nursing home, has somewhat of a dark histo- ry, having served as a shelter for much of the unwanted portion of the population years ago. “They were the people of history,” said Lauzon. “They survived during the worst times.” The historian also showcased several stories of thoroughly researched inmates. In the end, however, a grim reminder was echoed not only by the “little his- torian,” but by history buff Thom Racine as well. “When Sara said the property was a cemetery, she meant it,” said Racine. “There are probably over 100 bodies waiting to be found here.”Lauzon’s goal is to erect amonument in the coming years, commemo- rating the individuals buried on the property.

cas, il est presque impossible à détecter. C’est pourquoi il est important que chaque femme se soumette à des dépistages ré- guliers à l’aide des technologies les plus performantes à leur disposition, car plus un cancer est dépisté tôt, plus les options de traitement sont nombreuses et plus grandes sont les probabilités de survie. L’Hôpital de Cornwall recommande à toutes les femmes de 40 ans et plus d’effectuer un test de dépistage par mammographie nu- mérique, car le risque de cancer augmente d’année en année.
Le Programme d’agrément en mammog- raphie est un programme d’évaluation ad- ministré tous les trois ans selon des critères de plus en plus exigeants. Josée Witty, technologue responsable, et Amy Paré, technologue, directrices de l’unité de mam- mographie numérique, se disaient prêtes à recevoir l’agrément. «Nous avions tout lieu de croire que nous obtiendrions le feu vert, a affirmé MmeWitty, radiologue spécialisée en mammographie depuis 20 ans. Nous répondons aux normes de qualité les plus élevées et nous n’accepterons rien d’autre.»

It truly is sensational. Memories of the summer of love , a concert presented at the Up- per Canada Playhouse, started off with a peaceful bang on April 22, amidst amazed spectators. Such songs as Bridge over troubled waters by the legendary duo made up of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel as well as These boots were made for walkin’ by Nan- cy Sinatra were sang to perfection by Derek Marshall, Colleen Ayn and Paul Wilson. Throughout the performance, audience members had the chance to relive some of the most popular songs from the 60s, while enjoying dancing and frequent costume changes. The live band that performed the songs mastered even the hardest solos. They too reflected the era, with their original costumes. Visual aids, such as pictures and videos, were also shown on screens, which helped put a face on the less well known musical bands covered. The concert, which is sure to capture the imagination of the young and old alike, is only featured at the playhouse until May 4. Pictured is performer Derek Marshall.

“Ontario is scheduled to table its budget on May 1,” he states in a news release. “Will the budget continue to ignore the approxi- mately $2 billion savings that could be ex- acted over time if Ontario reorganized the current four school systems into two pub- lic school systems, or will Ontario’s citizens continue to bear the brunt of the govern- ment’s attempt to rein in the deficit ?” MacLennan strongly believes that by merging the four school boards (French and

NAVY CLUB Battle of Atlantic CEREMONIES Sunday May 4 at 1300 hours
’
‘‘We will remember them’’ The ceremonies will begin at 1 P.M. sharp inside the Cornwall Navy Veteran’s Club, 30 Sixth St. E., with the laying of the wreaths, the Bell Toll for ships lost at sea and moving on to Splicing the Main Brace. Entertainment will follow the ceremonies with our resident entertainer. ‘‘GEORGIE’’ The Cornwall Navy Veteran’s Club welcomes the community to attend this remembrance of those Canadians who defended our country by the sea. The battle of Atlantic was the longest continuous military campaign in World War II, running from 1939 to the defeat of Germany in 1945. The growth of Canada’s navy was remarkable. At the beginning of the Second World War, the RCN had only six-ocean-going ships and 3,500 personnel. By the end of the war, Canada had one of the largest navies in the world with 434 commissioned vessels and 95,000 men and women in uniform. Canadian losses counted 2,210 fatalities, including six women and 33 vessels lost.
The new version of the Canadian $100 bill has special features to make it difficult, if not impossible, for counterfeiters to mimic. But the older currency still in circulation can still be duplicated.

Are you ready for a natural disaster?
Man or woman, rich or poor: no one is safe in a natural disaster. Flooding, hurricanes, microbursts, earthquakes, or other catastro- phes can happen at any time. Are you and your family prepared to deal with one? You must be prepared in advance to be able to cope during an extreme weather event. Start preparing by finding out what type of natural disasters are more likely to happen in your area. At home, establish an action plan for each scenario. Emergency measures in case of flooding: • switch off the electricity and natural gas supply • move valuable objects to a higher floor Microbursts (localized violent winds): • stay well away from windows and doors • gather the family in the basement, a closet, or under a staircase Earthquake: • remain inside the house • shelter under a table, or desk, and hold on to it until everything stops shaking
Everyone in your home should be aware of the steps to take, no matter what the disas- ter. Decide on a meeting place where you can gather if you’ve been separated. Post safety measures where they are visible and revise them together on a regular basis. Keep ready an emergency kit (first-aid sup- plies, can opener, candles, matches, hygiene articles, and important documents), a sup- ply of drinking water, and enough food to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours. Did you know that all-risk home insurance policies cover damages caused by most natural disasters? Take the time to check your coverage with your insurer. Climate change is wreaking havoc around the plan- et; don’t you want to be prepared?
When “That will never happen to me” happens.

Lors de cette journée sportive, ils se sont affrontés à un jeu appelé les quilles suédoises, qui consiste à faire tomber des quilles placées derrière le gardien afin d’accumuler le plus de points possible.

ARIES You may feel trapped in the middle of a whirlwind this week. Try and slow down a bit before you feel dizzy. Work at channeling your ener- gies more profitably. TAURUS There’s a good chance that you have to replace a colleague at work for an indefinite period of time. This will cause you some additional stress, but it will be very profitable for you in the end. GEMINI People under this sign are great communicators. You are treated to the opportunity of speaking in front of a large crowd. A few people might dare to criticize you; don’t take it personally. CANCER It’s not always easy to reconcile work and family life. You have to juggle your schedule in order to meet all your responsibilities on both fronts. LEO You may decide to leave on a trip on the spur of the moment. You pro- bably need this break in order to come to a difficult decision and find peace of mind. VIRGO You might have to reconsider who your friends really are. Fortunately, some of them could finally manage to repay you what they owe. LIBRA Go through your bills and see if any mistakes have been made. You might have to devote a good part of the week to recovering your money. SCORPIO You finally receive the right treat- ment where your health is con- cerned, or you discover a new diet that suits you and brings some quick results. SAGITTARIUS You are suddenly very popular with your friends. If you’re single, you are rather surprised to realize that suitors are vying against one an- other in trying to seduce you. CAPRICORN Your family takes centre stage in your life this week. Your loved ones are very demanding of you. Your plans to move are also looming on the horizon. AQUARIUS Your comings and goings are more complicated than usual, or maybe communications are not always very clear. Your straight talking has a po- sitive impact on those close to you. PISCES Money is a source of worry, on oc- casion. Don’t hesitate to take the time to negotiate with the people involved in order to resolve your fi- nancial situation.
