Thousands gather for messy and sticky RibFest
It was a sticky, messy and fun event! Thousands gathered at Lamoureux Park for four consecutive days, during this year’s Cornwall Seaway Lions’ Rib Fest. “In all, this year, we have 36 vendors,” explained event Chairman John Lucio. “We have a lot of new things to offer, such as a new way to vote for your favorite ribs and a children’s section.” As opposed to last year, the event ran for an extra day. “We wanted to give back to the community,” said Lucio. “It’s a very popular event and we wanted everyone to enjoy it.” The event is the Seaway Lions’ biggest fundraiser.

Be careful when playing Pokemon Go A new app game that has gained widespread popularity within the country has the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) worried. The organisation is reminding players that it’s important to be aware of their surroundings while playing, in order to avoid injury. The app layers gameplay onto an actual real-world map of the user’s surroundings and challenges the user to find virtual Pokémon characters within their area. Played on cell phones or other mobile devices, the game can distract users from their surroundings and has led to injuries among both players and non-players. “Playing a game with any device, while driving, is an offence under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act,” stated Nikolas Hotte, manager of the Injury Prevention program at the EOHU. – Francis Racine ont eu droit à une balade en train.

La Chambre de commerce de Cornwall tient à aviser les consommateurs de la région d’être prudent lorsqu’ils font affaire avec certaines entreprises. Même si Cornwall bénéficie de plu- sieurs commerces remarquables, qui fournissent à la fois des produits et des services excellents, il existe, bel et bien, des individus crapuleux qui ciblent les consommateurs peu méfiants. Pour cette raison, la Chambre de commerce a émis quelques conseils à ce sujet. « L’entreprise a-telle des assurances adéquates et est-elle membre de la Chambre de commerce?, explique un communiqué rédigé par celle-ci. Bien qu’un commerce qui fait des affaires sous la table, voulant dire qu’il n’émet aucune facture ou reçu, puisse offrir des prix bas, le consommateur n’est nullement protégé. La Chambre de commerce compte plus de 600 membres, parmi lesquels se retrouvent des entreprises et des individus de bonne réputation. – Francis Racine

Summer in Cornwall means fun in the sun and plenty of deals for local shoppers. Businesses lining Pitt Street and some of the surrounding locales were offering savings and extended hours to help mark the Downtown Summer Celebration. The celebration, which coincides with Cornwall Seaway Lions Club Ribfest, invited foodies of all kinds to take a tour along Pitt Street and visit some of the local shops and merchants who will be offering deals as part of the sweetest, stickiest event of the summer. «We’re so happy to see popular events, like Ribfest, take place in beautiful Lamoureux Park,” said Downtown BIA chair Brenda Campbell. “And after they have enjoyed all the park has to offer we encourage ribbers and patrons to visit our many downtown shops and businesses this weekend, where merchants are offering special deals. This is a great opportunity to enjoy all that downtown Cornwall has to offer.» Pictured are downtown business owners Tammy Davidson and Linda Lemieux (Laser Advanced Spa), Raquel Roy (Mindful Cookery), Tracy-Lynn Chisholm and Emily MacLeod (OBO Studios), Leslie Ouderkirk (Kid’s Korner) and Chris Munro (Life’s Little Pleasures). — supplied photo Celebrating Cornwall’s Downtown

A changing of the guard has taken place in Le Village. Pat Blanchette, a barber at 132 McConnell Ave. has called it a career and is turning over ownership of his property to John Karitsiotis, pictured above, his neighbour and owner of the King George Restaurant. The plan is to demolish Blanchette’s building and turn the property into some much- needed parking space for the busy restaurant. Blanchette, who first began to cut hair in Cornwall when haircuts were 60 cents and the prime minister was John Diefenbaker, has no regrets. At 90 years of age he’s earned a well-deserved retirement. “Somebody happened to get the idea that I might sell, but the only person who was going to get that property was John. He deserves it,” said Blanchette, a veteran of both the Second World War and Korean War as a member of the Canadian army, who after life in the service found himself looking for another adventure. Little did he know it would last more than 50 years. “The story behind that is it was a tossup whether I bought myself a Studebaker or the property where the barber shop is now,” said Blanchette of the nearby car dealership that was in Le Village at the time. “They were both about the same price, but there was no barber shop there.” Karitsiotis and his family are thrilled with the chance to expand their business. “I had been trying to get it since I opened here,” said Karitsiotis, whose restaurant has been in operation at the corner of Montreal Road and McConnell Avenue since 1999. — supplied photo

FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca The legend of the Flying Frenchmen lot for me to be here, because, as a child, my dreamwas not only to play for theMontreal Canadiens, but also to receive a Canadiens’ shirt at Christmas!” The makings of a champion
It’s a story that could very well be a legend. At the turn of the century, a Cornwall resident, working countless hours at the local Standard newspaper printing plant, becomes one of the world’s first hockey superstars. Yet the story of Édouard “Newsy” Lalonde isn’t a made up fantasy. It actually happened. Curious Cornwall citizens gathered at the Civic Complex on July 21, to commemorate the man known as one of the Flying Frenchmen. There, amongst sports lovers, was Montreal Canadiens great Guy Lafleur, along with several different dignitaries. “When I was ten years old, we heard of his name, my friends and I,” explained Lafleur. “We looked up to him.That made us dream of playing in the NHL.” The Ontario Heritage Trust, in partnership with the City of Cornwall and the Cornwall Sports Hall of Fame, unveiled a provincial plaque commemorating The Flying Frenchmen, a group of three original francophone players from the Montreal Canadiens. “Professional hockey was in its infancy in the autumn of 1909, when the promoters behind the National Hockey Association
Although he was born and grew up in Cornwall, Lalonde travelled to the four corners of the country during his professional athlete career. He began his hockey career at the age of 16, playing for the Cornwall Rovers, and in the 1904, he played with the Cornwall Victorias of the Federal Amateur Hockey League (FAHL). Lalonde next moved to Woodstock, in southwesternOntario, where his outstanding play at center caught the attention of several scouts. Unexpected to Newsy, an offer came from the American Sault Ste. Marie franchise in the International Hockey League, the first professional circuit in North America. The team across the river in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, tried to obtain his services, but the Canadian Soo matched the American offer and kept the young star in town. In 1907, Lalonde joined the Toronto club of the newly formed Ontario Professional Hockey League. This was where he first gained wide attention by winning the scoring race with 29 goals in only nine matches. The Toronto squad captured the inaugural OPHL crown that year, but lost out to the

Although he was born and grew up in Cornwall, Lalonde travelled to the four corners of the country during his professional athlete career. He began his hockey career at the age of 16 playing for the Cornwall Rovers.
His scoring continued, and he led all NHL scorers in 1918-19 and 1920-21. On January 19, 1920, he scored six goals in one game. Everything changed for the talented player in 1910. Lalonde joined theMontreal Canadiens for their first season and scored the first-ever goal for the team. He helped the Montreal Canadiens win their first Stanley Cup in 1916. He would score in each of the first six NHL games, earning a share of an NHL record with Cy Denney and JoeMalone, to establish a record that would go unmatched for nearly 90 years. Although he was one of the best in the hockey business, Lalonde’s prowesses weren’t limited to ice hockey. During the off season, he spent his summers playing lacrosse, in which he showed an equal amount of aptitude and was named «athlete of the half century» for the sport. He started playing in 1905 as a goaltender, but moved to the attack position in 1910, becoming the sport’s greatest star. He
would break the scoring record for his Montreal team in 1910 with 31 goals. Lalonde scored an incredible 66 goals for the Montreal Nationals in 1914. He was inducted into the Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1965. In addition to the plaque honoring him in the Civic Complex, his painted face proudly looks down on w h o e v e r makes their
hired as the playing-manager and captain. Laviolette signed Cornwall’s Lalonde to play forward and recruited his friendDidier Pitre. The trio of francophone players formed the nucleus of the roster for several seasons. They played with such speed and finesse that sportswriters began calling them the Flying Frenchmen. “The Flying Frenchmen are a fine example of the excellence, dedication and teamwork that characterize Ontario’s sport heritage,” exclaimed the Chair of the Ontario Heritage Trust, Professor Thomas H.B Symons. During the ceremony, Member of Parliament (MP) Guy Lauzon recalled how theMontreal Canadiens and Lalonde played a great part in his childhood. “Newsymeans a lot to me,” said the politician. “It means a
franchise in 1910. Halfway through the season, he was traded to the Renfrew Millionaires, but this only enhanced his performance. OnMarch 11, 1910, he scored nine goals in one game, an NHA record that was never beaten and only equaled by Tommy Smith. He also won the league’s inaugural scoring title. In 1911-12, Lalonde headed west to play with the Vancouver Millionaires of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association where he led the league with 27 goals.The next year he returned to the Canadiens and won another NHA scoring championship. His offensive gifts were a significant factor behind the franchise’s first Stanley Cup title in 1915-16. Lalonde remained with the Canadiens when the club joined the NHL in 1917-18.

is, however, quite astounding, is the fact that between early Aboriginals and today’s contemporary commu- nity, another group called L’Anse aux Meadows home: Vikings. In 1960, Helge Ingstad and Anne Stine Ingstad were vis- iting L’Anse aux Meadows from Finland in search of a rumoured Norse settlement in the area. When local fish- erman George Decker offered to bring them to a place residents referred to as the Old Indian Camp, little did the couple know that they were actually about to crack the case. The grass-covered mounds they saw upon ar- rival appeared to be longhouses buried in time at first glance. This assessment proved correct following a series of archaeological digs led by Anne Stine Ingstad between 1961 and 1968 that unearthed eight complete Norse houses and fragments of a ninth. This incredible discovery was found to date back to the year 1000, putting the debate to rest once and for all: Christopher Columbus definitely wasn’t the first Euro- pean to set foot in North America. A UNESCOWorld Heri- tage Site since 1978, L’Anse aux Meadows is now home to a fascinating interpretive site where you can learn all about the early Norse settlers in the region. A must-see if you’re ever in the area!

Columbus was the first white man to make contact with North American aboriginal peoples for quite some time, but lacked proof of its inaccuracy. Until a Canadian fish- erman named George Decker led explorer Helge Ingstad and his wife, archaeologist Anne Stine Ingstad, to a place locals called the Old Indian Camp. It’s unclear how L’Anse aux Meadows, located on the northernmost tip of the island of Newfoundland, got its name. Some say it evolved from the French L’Anse aux Méduses, literally jellyfish cove; another theory is that the village was referred to as L’Anse à Médée on a French map from 1892. Evidence shows that the area has was first settled by Aboriginal people over 6,000 years ago—a long time, indeed, but nothing out of the ordinary. What

Canada’s Inuit community
Inuit—Inuktitut for the people —are the Aboriginal people of Canada’s arctic. Nearly three quarters of all Inuit in Canada live inwhat is known as Inuit Nanangat , a term that refers to the land, water and ice of the Arctic region. Of these, around half live in Nunavut. Other large Inuit Nanangat include Nunavik in Northern Quebec, Nun- atsiavut (along the northern coast of Labrador) and the western Arctic. Using data from the 2011 National Household Survey, Statistics Canada estimated that about 59,440 people in Canada have Inuit background. That’s about 4.2 per- cent of Canada’s global Aboriginal population. Eight main ethnic groups make up the Inuit population, and the Inuit language, In- uktitut, has five main dialects in Canada. Nearly eighty-three per cent of Canadian Inuit report being able to converse in one or another of these traditional dialects. Inuit are traditionally hunters and gatherers who lived a nomadic lifestyle. Con- temporary Inuit still produce much of their food through harvesting and hunting, as transportation of goods to isolated northern communities is expensive and sporadic.
Flower: Purple Violet MANITOBA
In 1936, at the request of the Women’s Institute, local school children and the Lieutenant Governor, the Purple Violet (Viola cucullata) officially became New Brunswick’s emblematic flower. This purple perennial proliferates inmeadows, riverbanks and wooded areas throughout the Maritimes. It’s ed- ible and sometimes used in jams and syrups.

Remembering the forgotten
FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca
As famed American/British novelist T.S Eliot once said, “We don’t actually fear death, we fear that no one will notice our absence, that we will disappear without a trace.” The quote holds so much truth, that a local historian and advocate for the city’s former House of Refuge had it inscribed on the back of a monument she unveiled on July 23, commemorating Cornwall’s House of Refuge inhabitants. Lauzon’s quest to commemorate the House of Refuge inmates, a term widely used back in the day, took a macabre twist when she discovered that many of them, lacking any family members, were interred on the building’s property, without as much as a plot marker. “When some of the inmates died and there was no one to claim their body, the caretaker would go outside and dig a hole,” explained the local historian. “It wasn’t really planned. He just put them where he wanted to. There was no funeral and no one attended the burials other than the caretaker himself.” In addition, there doesn’t seem to be any map or plan to clearly show where the bodies ended up. Therefore, when a local construction company proceeded to build homes located a short walk away from the old House of Refuge, they uncovered 29 bodies. “I don’t know how many men or women there were,” said Lauzon. “I don’t even know if there were any children. All I know is that they are buried at the St. Lawrence Seaway Valley Cemetery.” The remains were reburied once again without grave markers or a ceremony. “I wanted to commemorate them,” expressed Lauzon. “Commemorate their lives. They might’ve been homeless or old, but they were people too.” The usually peaceful cemetery, located a short drive from Cornwall on old Highway 2, was buzzing with activity on themorning of the ceremony. Over 30 individuals came together to witness the unveiling of a large monument, sitting on the same area where the bodies were reinterred. Overhead, the sky was empty except for the shining sun. Oddly enough, lightning and thunder would echo throughout the region only a couple of hours later. The monument, of a black colour, was admired by all who attended the ceremony. Several dignitaries also took part in the event. MP Guy Lauzon, MPP JimMcDonell, and city councillor Justin Towndale, were on hand to congratulate the historian. “The passion this young woman has is

incredible,” expressed Guy Lauzon. “I want to thank her personally for what she has accomplished.” The monument, which was erected following 11 months of fundraising, was blessed by father Claude Halle, an act welcomed by Lauzon. “It’s what they would’ve wanted,” she expressed. Even if she received her fair share of praise during the ceremony, Lauzon was quick to point out that it was her community that stepped up to the plate when it came time to donate. In all, $5000 was needed in order to erect the monument. “I hosted fifteen walking tours of Sydney and Pitt Street,” explained
and every one as well as my community and surrounding areas for making my dream a reality.” But Lauzon’s job certainly isn’t done. Although 29 bodies were uncovered, the local historian knows that many more are still on the property. That’s why she hopes to erect another monument on the said property, in the near future. She also hopes to conclude her research on the institution, which would enable her to write a book on the subject. “Today, you’ve helpedme change a little bit of Cornwall’s history,” she said loudly and emotionally, as members of the crowd cheered.
the one they call the Little Historian. Lauzon also organized a yard sale, which made 655$. When Christmas came around, shemade House of Refuge ornaments and sold them to several Cornwall citizens. When only 900$ was left in order to attain the 5000$ needed, one individual, who wished to remain anonymous, donated the remaining amount. “I was flabbergasted,” said Lauzon. The monument now stands proudly in the cemetery, overlooking the scenic St. Lawrence River. “It was my dream to erect this monument,” expressed Lauzon before the crowd gathered. “I want to thank each

Gustave Gingras founded North America’s first rehabili- tation hospital, the Montreal Institute of Rehabilitation, in 1949. His facility and team played a vital role during the polio epidemic of the 1950s, and again a decade later when hundreds of Canadian babies were born with defects caused by the drug thalidomide. The list of lives he improved extends far beyond Canada’s borders. When thousands of Moroccans became paralyzed after consuming tainted cooking oil in 1959, Gingras’ efforts enabled 8,000 victims to make a full recovery. He set up prosthetic workshops in Vietnam, built rehabilitation centres in Cameroon, and the list goes on. Gingras was a brilliant contributor to the technical side of physical rehabilitation, but he never lost sight of the human aspect of his work. A lifelong advocate for the rights of disabled people, he lobbied the Canadian gov- ernment to aid the integration of the disabled in schools and workplaces, joined the War Amps of Canada in its quest to gain compensation for Canadian veterans, and fought for the victims of the thalidomide disaster. Entire books could be written on Gingras’ medical feats, which earned him dozens of awards. But above all, he will be remembered for his dedication and selflessness. When Gustave Gingras passed away in his Prince Edward Island home in 1996, he left behind a brighter world for sufferers of physical disabilities around the globe.
When Gustave Gin- gras was born in 1918, medical sci- ence offered little hope for the severely ill and disabled. An undoubtedly
smart young man, Gingras decided to study medicine with dreams of making the future less bleak for those in need of healthcare. After receiving his M. D. from Université de Montréal in 1941, he joined the Canadian Forces Medical Corps and left to serve abroad for the war. Stationed in Basingstoke, England, Gingras interned in neurosurgery and planned on staying in that field once his service was over. However, upon his return to Mon- treal he was put in charge of rehabilitating paraplegic veterans at the Queen Mary Veterans Hospital. Giving these severely injuredmen a chance at a normal life was a turning point in Gingras’ career: he felt that physical rehabilitation was his true calling. DR. GUSTAVE GINGRAS (1918 – 1996) Rehabilitation pioneer and advocate for the disabled

Canada’s Egyptian community Canadians with Egyptian ancestrymake up a diverse and vibrant com- munity of nearly 80,000 people throughout the country, with large con- centrations in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. They form a highly educated segment of the population that contributes to all layers of Canadian society.
Flower: Pitcher plant NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR
Despite these solid roots, the presence of Egyptians living in Canada is surprisingly recent—the first substantial wave of immigrants to arrive on Canadian soil from Egypt can be traced back to the Suez Crisis of 1956. Over the following years, the size of this new Canadian commu- nity grew at a rapid pace and became the largest group of immigrants from Arabic countries by the 1960s. Because French is a common second language among Egyptians, a large portion of these newcomers chose to settle in Quebec. You can thank Egyptian Canadians for culinary favourites like stuffed vine leaves and sweet baklava. Local Egyptian associations often host community celebrations on special occasions like the traditional springtime festival Sham el-Nesim. Next time there’s an event in your neighbourhood, swing by for some authentic food and fun!
Newfoundland adopted the pitcher plant (Sarra- cenia purpurea) as its provincial flower in 1956. However, its earliest association dates back to the 1880s, when the crimson flower was engraved on the Newfoundland penny. This marsh-growing species is carnivorous, digesting insects that drown in pools of water inside its tubular leaves.

Une première pour l’Hôpital de Cornwall
Heat stroke, the silent child killer Un nouveau son, encore jamais entendu à l’Hôpital de Cornwall, a retenti pour la toute première fois le 15 juillet, alors que Lillian a été la première patiente à faire tinter la cloche du Service de chimiothérapie nouvellement aménagé. La cloche sonne lorsqu’un patient termine son traitement de chimiothérapie, un geste qui se veut un signe d’espoir pour les autres patients qui en sont témoins. « Je n’ai jamais terminé la première série de traitements à Ottawa, mais j’ai fini cette série et personne ne pouvait être plus excitée que moi de faire sonner la cloche pour la première fois », a affirmé Lillian. Après avoir reçu un diagnostic de cancer du poumon, Lillian a reçu 18 traitements au Service de chimiothérapie de l’Hôpital de Cornwall. Une donatrice à la Fondation de l’Hôpital de Cornwall, Denise Lalande, qui a elle-même reçu un diagnostic de cancer, et son mari Marcel ont donné la cloche au service de chimiothérapie. « Je suis tellement heureuse! C’est la première fois, mais non la dernière, que cette cloche sonne! C’est agréable de voir que son séjour dans ce service est terminé. Le fait de sonner la cloche est un symbole d’espoir. C’est aussi une façon de rendre hommage aux personnes qui n’ont pas eu la chance de faire tinter la cloche », a expliqué Mme Lalande. — photo fournie
Throughout the country, about four to six children perish each year from being left in cars during extreme hot or cold temperatures. Even though no such cases have been reported in Cornwall in recent memory, Cornwall Community Police (CCP) and the SD&G Children’s Aid Society (CAS) are always on the lookout for a child in need of help. “To our knowledge, there has never been a child who has died as a result of being left in a car in Cornwall,” explained Dan Cloutier, Media Relations, Crime Reduction and Community Partnerships Bureau with the CCP. “Yes, we do get calls to check on the well-being of children who have been left in cars during the summer; however the calls are not often. A police officer would immediately be dispatched to attend such a call and if there were concerns for the safety of a child, CAS would be notified.O a day that is just 22 degrees Celsius, the temperature inside a car can increase by 30 to 40 degrees in an hour. Children are more susceptible and at a higher risk than adults for heat-related illness and injury, because their bodies make more heat relative to their size, and their abilities to cool through sweating are not as developed as adults. —photo Francis Racine
