Cornwall welcomes first Tool Library
CORNWALL | Rony Macarone is looking to put area drills and other tools to better use with the opening of the Cornwall Tool Library (CTL). The CTL will work like a regular book library in many ways. An assortment of power and hand tools will be made avail- able to people looking to complete proj- ects at home and at the office. Tools are “borrowed” for a specific period of time, and then returned to the library for others to use. “The tool library will act as a commu- nity resource that will reduce the burden of improving and greening the places where

A play, written by NormFoster and directed by Mike Petrinka, is soon to be entertain- ing audiences in Cornwall. Self-Help is the story of Hal and Cindy Savage, two strug- gling actors who reinvent themselves as self-help gurus and, much to their surprise, become the world’s most revered relationship experts. Unfortunately, while their ca- reers skyrocket, their marriage goes into a nosedive, and they soon find themselves scrambling to protect their reputations. The show starts on October 17 at the Dream Builders Studios.
