En bref / Briefs First time director hopes Sporting a green shirt and a black hat, Grant Reso has a director allure. The actor, who has been a part of the Seaway Valley Theater Compa- ny (SVTC) for the past three years, has now taken on a different role. The talented young man hopes to make local theater lovers laugh, but also think. “The play I’m directing is Figments,” he explained. “It has to do with the figments of imagination of characters that are all played out during the actual play.” When asked why he decided to take a seat in the director’s chair, the talented actor smiled before explaining that he once read the play while waiting during a rehearsal. “I found it very funny,” he said. “It contained several cha- racters and seemed more like a contemporary comedy than a farce.” Reso wishes to thank the talented crew of actors whom he directs, as well as all the hard working volunteers at SVTC. Fig- ments runs from June 19th to the 27th. – Francis Racine Suite aux précipitations inférieures à la moyenne au cours des derniers mois, la Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) encourage les résidents de son territoire à réduire leur consommation d’eau. La CNS a émis, le 11 juin dernier, une alerte Niveau 1, signifiant qu’il pourrait y avoir un problème d’approvisionnement en eau. « Malgré les pluies récentes, le total des précipitations est encore entre 60 et 70 % des valeurs historiques de mars à mai, a souligné Golam Sharif, analyste des ressources en eau de la CNS. Si le manque de précipitation se poursuit, il pourrait y avoir un grave problème d’approvisionnement en eau.» – Francis Racine Sod turning for new school An official sod turning will take place on June 23, in honor of the Upper Canada District School Board’s (UCDSB) new elementary school in Cornwall. Local dignitaries, UCDSB officials and other guests will attend the 10:30 a.m. ceremony. The new 579-pupil school will replace the aging East Front Public School and Gladstone Public School.
