TO THE POINT News in brief from Cornwall and the surrounding area
The Journal
Every summer, the skies of Cornwall are filled with the spectacle of majestic hot air balloons rising out of the Computer Sense Launch Field, but this year has a very special guest, a gigantic Tyran- nosaurus Rex. The Canadian-owned balloon is back from a three-year European tour and its owner has agreed to touch down in the Sea- way City. “As the director of hot air balloons I am thrilled to announce that T-Rex will be mak- ing an appearance at Kinsmen Cornwall Lift-Off this July,” said Mary Marleau, Lift- Off co-chair for events and balloons. “The children, young and old cannot help but stand with awe to watch this massive 37-metre high dinosaur fill with air to take to the sky.” For dramatic effect during the inflation, the pilot lets T-Rex bob his head over a neighbouring balloon to pretend that he is taking a bite out of it, said added. Specialty shaped balloons have become a very big part of Kinsmen Cornwall Lift-Off with past visitors including Old MacDon- ald’s Farmhouse, Mr. Peanut, Buddy Beaver, a Lady Bug, Woodrow the Tree, and a Clown. Marleau is hard at work securing addi- tional balloons for this year’s festival. Keep up with the latest news from Lift-off on our Facebook Page and join the conversation on Twitter at @CornwallLiftOff. Cornwall Lift-Off was founded in 1994 and has since hosted back-to-back Cana- dian National Hot Air Balloon Champi- onships in 1996 and 1997. The success of the festival has grown con- siderably since its modest beginnings in 1994. Each year, the festival welcomes approxi- mately 25 hot-air balloon teams, the Home- nuik Rides carnival, a spectacular fireworks display, Family Zone, and great local and international musical entertainment. Past entertainers have included Dennis

Problems and misfortunes are a part of life. Understanding depression
Experiences of failure commonly result in tem- porary feelings of worthlessness and self- blame, while personal losses cause feelings of sadness, disappoint- ment and emptiness.
Such feelings are nor- mal, and they usually pass after a short time. This is not the case with depressive ill- ness. Signs of depressive illness Depression becomes an illness, or clini- cal depression, when the feelings de- scribed above are severe, last for several weeks, and begin to interfere with one’s work and social life. Depressive illness can change the way a person thinks and behaves, and how his/her body func- tions. Some of the signs to look for are: feeling worthless, helpless or hopeless, sleeping more or less than usual, eating more or less than usual, having difficulty concen- trating or making decisions, loss of inter- est in taking part in activities, feeling unreasonably guilty, loss of energy, feel- ing very tired, and thoughts of death or suicide. What causes depression? There is no one cause of depression, nei- ther is it fully understood. The following factors may make some people more prone than others to react to a loss or fail- ure with a clinical depression: specific, distressing life events, a biochemical im- balance in the brain and psychological factors, like a negative or pessimistic view of life. There may also be a genetic link since people with a family history of de- pression are more likely to experience it. How is depression treated? Depression is themost treatable of men- tal illnesses. Most people who suffer from depression are helped by the treatment they get, which usually includes medica- tion and/or psychological counselling. Support from family, friends and self- help groups can also make a big differ- ence. Many people who are seriously de- pressed wait too long to seek treatment or they may not seek treatment at all. They may not realize that they have a treatable illness, or they may be con- cerned about getting help because of the negative attitudes held by society to- wards this type of illness. What can friends and family do? Some people who are depressed keep to themselves, while others may not want to be alone. They may react strongly to the things you say or do. Let themknow that it is okay to talk about their feelings and thoughts. Listen and offer support rather than trying to contradict them or talk them out of it. Let them know you care. Ask them how you can help, and offer to contact their family doctor or a mental health professional. Find out about local self-help groups and attend a meeting with them. Be patient and non-judgmen- tal and get other people to provide help and support too. If you or someone you know needs more help than friends or family can provide, contact a community organization, such as the CanadianMen- tal Health Association, which can help you find additional support.

complexity of Bernard’s relationships be- come truly known. Robert -- played by Jamie Williams -- is aghast to learn his old friend is juggling relationships with three airline stewardesses, from three different countries, all of whom believe they are en- gaged to be married to Bernard. While repelled at first by the thought of Bernard’s amorous ways, Robert soon finds himself drawn into the saga when flight schedules begin to go awry and financees begin showing up when Bernard least ex- pects it. Andrews, a few line stumbles aside, plays a great straight man as the play winds on to the antics of those around him. The fi- nancees – from the United States, Germany and Italy respectively -- commanded the at- tention of the audience with sharp and well-timed lines in accents befitting their home countries. One of the most memorable moments of the play arose from a lengthy exchange be- tween Kate Gordon, who elicited laughs ga- lore with her German expressions as she
reacted prodding and questioning from a game Williams. Lawson’s portrayal of an American south- ern belle with a penchant for rather uncouth combinations of food, was also delightfully over the top and was the Italian flavor brought to the stage by Susan Greenfield. The show is directed by Richard Bauer, who directed Don’t Dress for Dinner for Cow Patti four years ago, and is often seen on stage in Morrisburg, at Upper Canada Playhouse. Since Don’t Dress For Dinner, Baur has worked on his behind-the-scenes talent, di- recting shows throughout Ontario. The show Thursday was a benefit for the SD&G Highland Dancing Association. The show this Thursday (Feb. 9) will be a benefit for Water for Life. A brunch show on Sun- day (Feb. 12) will be for the Ontario Senior Games District 8. The Knights of Columbus will benefit from the show on Thursday (Feb. 16) and the Glengarry Memorial Hospital Founda- tion will benefit from the Feb. 19 show. lage which recently opened a state-of-the- art Discovery Centre at its entrance, said Dalgleish.

Boeing-Boeing has been cleared for take-off. The Cow Patti Theatre’s production of the Marc Camoletti play took its initial flight in front of an appreciative crowd at the Ra- mada Inn in Cornwall Thursday evening. A full house took in the theatre company’s final production in Cornwall which will run until Feb. 19 at the Ramada Inn in Cornwall and were rewarded with some cleverly crafted comedy with a few helpings of sus- pense. The play begins rather unassumingly with Bernard, a Parisian bachelor played by Garfield Andrews, his American financee Gloria, played with a certain “joie de vivre” by Katie Lawson. But as the interactions be- tween the lovestruck couple and Bernard’s beleaguered maid Bertha, Cow Patti The- atre’s head cow AnnaMarie Lea, it becomes obvious trouble is brewing in paradise. But it is only when Robert, an old friend of Bernard, unexpectedly drops in that the Visitors to the Long Sault Parkway will be able to cruise the picturesque route at no charge this year, according to the St. Lawrence Parks Commission. The parkway meanders west to Ingleside via causeways linking 11 St. Lawrence River islands, beginning at its eastern gate in Long Sault, about 15 km west of Corn- wall. Visitors arriving by automobile have had to pay a fee at either gate in the past, even if they did not plan to attend either of the beaches or three campsites along the park- way. Visitors will still be charge to visit day-use areas and campsites. The elimination of the charge is part of a move by the St. Lawrence Parks Commis- sion to make its attractions less costly to consumers while at the same time improv- ing the agency’s bottom line. That goal was recently presented to the commission’s board of directors by a senior leadership team led by Darren Dalgleish, the parks commission’s general manager and CEO. “Our job as the largest tourism organiza- tion in eastern Ontario is to innovatively By Greg Kielec

Seniors need income support

The Harper government is crying poor on pensions for seniors while it lavishes $13 billion in tax cuts for big corporations that don’t need the money. What’s wrong with this picture? They can’t afford to staff the EI phone lines so workers
can access benefits for which they’ve paid, they can’t afford to maintain meat inspection levels that were instituted after the listeriosis outbreak, they can’t afford the non- taxation of veterans’ dis- ability benefit, they can’t afford to let the ecoEN- ERGY Retrofit program run its course till March, even though less than half of the budgeted funds have been allocated, and

Harper’s plan for the Old Age Security is a way to download cost and re- sponsibility to lower lev- els of government which will have to pay out more to support seniors who are forced into poverty.

night. Also scoring for the Colts were Trent Durocher, with two, andMichael Borkowski. Matt Jenkins faced only 16 Rangers’ shots, earning the shutout for the Colts. The Colts winning streak however came to an end at four games, when they dropped a tight game to the Hawks in Hawkesbury on Friday night. Neither team was able to find the back of the net until early in the third period. Bran- don Bussey gave the Hawks the first lead of the game 2:45 into the third frame. Michael Borkowski tied it up for the Colts on the powerplay with 8:48 gone in the third. But Yannick Laliberte reclaimed the lead for the Hawks less than five minutes later, then put the Hawks up 3-1 with an empty-netter with seven seconds left in the game. The Canadians had a chance to climb within one point of the Colts again in a match against the Nepean Raiders Sunday after- noon, but fell 8-6. The Canadians had a 4-1 lead near the end of the first, but after a see- saw second period, Nepean notched three unanswered goals in the third to seal the vic- tory. The win puts Nepean eights pints ahead of Cornwall for the overall league lead. The Brockville Braves were able to close the gap with the Colts ever so slightly Sunday. They beat the Kemptville 73s 4-1 to move within four points of the Colts and within one point of the Canadians in the Robinson Division. COLTS NOTES When the line of Borkowski, Baun and Spink is hot, the Colts are winning. The line has an average of almost eight points a game in the Colts’ six wins over the past two weeks. In the Colts most recent losses to the Kanata Stallions and the Hawkesbury Hawks the line average one point a game. The Colt will play at home Thursday against Smiths Falls after a much needed rest. They won’t be back in action after that until their next home game against Pembroke on Feb. 16. As of Monday the Cornwall Colts have two players on the CCHL scoring leaders’ board. Borkowski is sixth in scoring with 72 points, just ahead of seventh-place Tyson Spink with 70 points. Lukas Hafner, who has been solid for the Colts during their recent run, leads the league with a goals against average of 2.19 over 41 games so far this season.

The Cornwall Colts rolled over the Cum- berland Grads last Tuesday to take over first place in the Central Canada Hockey League’s Robinson Division and then ex- tended their first place lead over Carleton Place with a win over the Gloucester Rangers at home Thursday evening. The Colts have made the most of the stretch that saw them suit up eight times in just 16 days beginning on Jan. 19. They have racked up seven of a possible eight wins, half of them coming on the road. Tyson Spink and Kyle Baun have both notched seven goals in the same time period, and have both had four-point nights. Their recent hot streak has seen the Colts jump past the Carleton Place Canadians into first in the Robinson and within four points of the league-leading Nepean Raiders after Thursday’s win. The Cornwall Colts took advantage of an idle night for the Carleton Place Canadians to move one point ahead of them into first place in the Robinson Division on Tuesday evening. The Colts got two goals each from Tyson Spink and Kyle Baun on their way to a 5-2 victory over the Grads in Cumberland. David Rath notched a marker with 52 seconds left in the second to cap off the scoring. The Colts got on the board early with a goal by Tyson Spink 42 seconds into the first be- fore adding two more before the period’s end. The two teams traded goals in the sec- ond with the Colts leading 5-2 after 40 min- utes. It was another big game for Colts goalie Lukas Hafner, who stopped 34 of 36 shots to give the Colts 75 points to Carleton Place’s 74 in the Robinson. The Colts then earn a little more breathing room in the Robinson Division with a 6-0 home win against the Gloucester Rangers Thursday evening. The winmoved the Colts three points ahead of Carleton Place and within four points of the league-leading Nepean Raiders. The vic- tory also dropped Brockville to six points be- hind Cornwall in third place in the Robinson. The Colts, who directed 41 shots at Glouces- ter netminder Gunner Rivers, had a big game from their special teams – a shorthanded goal by Kyle Baun and powerplay goals from Michael Phillips and Marly Quince. Baun also earned three assists for a four-point

Pets treated better than citizens
and is left open to interpretation. Unfortunately, such allowances in the law leave patients hanging in limbo and safe- guards doctors from the threat of legal re- sponsibilities. ‘’No doctor will go over another doctor’s work...’’ (This is a statement I have heard numerous times in the course of my medical journey). For to do so, doctors fear theywould be forced to report any errors committed from the initial surgery and, in cases like my own, would be forced to testify against their fellow practitioners. This silent code of ethics leaves patients like myself with no other alternative but to seek legal help. As of today I have spent over $30,000 and have suffered for seven years. I am now crip- pled both physically and financially. If I were a dog suffering, there are services in place that would humanely deal with my dilemma. In Canada our pets are treated bet- ter then citizens. idential and commercial buildings. If this ill-considered proposal by the Wa- terfront Development Committee is ap- proved, it will open the door to other private developments on our downtown waterfront parkland, including a hotel. We should learn from the experience of other Ontario cities that have paved over their waterfronts as a result of private de- velopments such as condos and hotels. We should not give up our beautiful downtown waterfront parkland which has been a gathering place for the enjoyment of our residents and visitors since 1974. Liguori Carrier Cornwall
To the editor:
I had surgery seven years ago to rectify a crooked finger. Unfortunately, the surgery left me with a crippled hand. I have been trying to get surgery for the past seven years. Each new doctor assures me at first that the problem can easily be fixed, yet once they receive my file the refuse to op- erate and suggest that I go see the surgeon who performed the initial surgery. I refuse. In dealing with this matter, I have learned that in politics of medicines there is no al- lowance for patient’s rights. This is a system geared towards protecting doctors and unfor- tunately leaves patients to fend for them- selves. My efforts to get surgery and rectify the damage cause by the doctor in question has been hindered by ‘’a doctors right of refusal’’. The issue of whether it is discrimination for physicians to refuse a patient for a procedure that the physician does not wish to perform to be associated with is still the legal burner I am opposed to the City of Cornwall Waterfront Development Committee’s proposed three to four storey condo- minium project on the city’s waterfront between the Civic Complex/Aquatic Cen- tre and Marina 200. This is very poor planning which will deny our residents full access to our down- town waterfront parkland. The city’s prime downtown waterfront parkland should remain as parkland for the enjoyment of the people of this community and visitors to our city. Furthermore, there are many other places in Cornwall that are available to developers to build private res- To the editor:

There is no time like now to declare your feelings. Of course, not everyone finds it easy to express their emotions. If you’re afraid that words will fail you or that your declaration of love will fall flat, keep it simple. Use your own words and speak from the heart without following a preset text. Say what you love about him or her, talk about the things they have done that you admire, and let them know how they are unique in your eyes. If shyness is holding you back, send an e-mail or a hand-written letter, the truly romantic option. A different solution is to offer a CD of a song, the words of which are a perfect expression of your feelings. Another way to express your love is by giv- ing a truly personal gift, showing that you know and appreciate your loved one in every possible way. This will give emphasis to your words, engraving them in your true-love’s memory for eternity.

Planning a vacation? You’ve booked your tickets, you’ve packed your bags… but have you thought about immunization? The Eastern Ontario Health Unit wants to make sure you’re well pro- tected so that you can enjoy your vaca- tion to the fullest. There are many unexpected events that can ruin a vacation. Foodborne ill- ness or even a sunburn can keep you trapped in your room for days. Protect yourself, your friends and your family with up-to-date informa- tion on the recommended immuniza- tions and precautionary measures specific to your travel destination. SUN SAFETY The Eastern Ontario Health Unit of- fers information on sun safety, the types of foods to avoid, beverages that are safe to drink, and other ways of pre- venting illness when travelling. The health unit also holds regular im- munization clinics. But don’t wait until the last minute - most vaccines take time to become effective and spaces at the health unit’s immunization clinics fill up fast. Book your appointment as soon as you have a specific vacation destination in mind. Call the Eastern Ontario Health Unit at 613-933-1375 or at 1 800 267-7120 and ask for Health Line. You can also visit the Travellers section of our website at www.eohu.ca. College launches warehouse worker program The Cornwall Campus of St. Lawrence College is presenting its first-ever ware- house worker program to help prepare young people for employment in the lo- gistics and distribution sector. The eight-week program is designed to provide students aged15-30 with the skills employers are looking for. Students will graduate with well-rounded knowledge and certifications in Forklift, Transportation of Dangerous Goods, WHMIS, First Aid/CPR and Safety Training, according to a college press release. The course comprises about 240 hours of instruction spread out over eight weeks. Students are typically in class from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. “This program is an excellent opportunity for people who are out of work and out of school,” said Glenna Schaillee, manager of Community Outreach and Corporate Learning for St. Lawrence College. “We have up to 25 seats available on a first- come, first-served basis.” An information session will be held Thurs- day at 1 p.m. at St. Lawrence College, in Room M3330.
