En bref/Brief Une collision mène à la fermeture de deux routes Une collision, survenue le 16 juin dernier dans le secteur Est de la ville, a frustré plusieurs auto- mobilistes. L’accident s’est produit vers 16 h et a forcé la fermeture de la rue Carleton et St-Félix. Un individu a été blessé, mais on ne connaît pas l’ampleur de ses blessures. – Francis Racine Philip Collins, 52, and Kyle Delorme, 22, both of Cornwall, were arrested on June 1 and charged with break and enter to commit robbery while Delorme was also charged with breaching two probation orders for failing to keep the peace. It is alleged on May 25, the two men forced their way into a Park Street residence and demanded money from the occupants prior to leaving with a quantity of cash. Police were contacted and an investigation ensued. On June 1, during their investigation, the two men were located by police, taken into custody, charged accordingly and held for a bail hearing. – Francis Racine The drug enforcement unit with the OPP’s East Region Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau proceeded to the dismantling of a large indoor growth operation in South Stormont, on June 11. The officers seized various illegal drugs, such as magic mushrooms, marijuana plants as well as 11 handguns and 42 long guns. A total of three people were arrested and charged with two counts of producing a controlled substance, two counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, nine counts of possession of prohibited or restricted firearms and ammunition, two counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm, breach of firearm regula- tions, careless use of a firearm and knowledge of unauthorized possession of a firearm. The names of the accused weren’t released. – Francis Racine You probably have seen one of their trucks on the many roads of Cornwall. They are one of the city’s fastest growing companies and they are celebra- ting their 25 th year of business. Seaway Express was founded in May 1990 by Bob and Linda Gauthier with a 5-ton truck and a goal to provide reliable and efficient overnight transport service between Eastern Ontario and Quebec. Today, the company has a fleet of 25 trucks, employs 55 people and operates a number of warehouse and cross-dock facilities. Company founder Bob Gauthier attributes his success over the years to his team of dedicated drivers, dock workers, office staff and in-house mechanics. “We have the same equipment and trucks as other companies,” said Mr. Gauthier. “What really sets us apart is the quality of our team. You get the best people in the business, treat them well and with respect and let them shine. I’m just the coach.” Two Cornwall men facing breaking and entering charges OPP dismantles growth operation in South Stormont Seaway Express turning 25 years old this year

The Second Street Watchman
Although Albert A. Scott might be up in age, his sense of humour still has a way of making even the younger ones laugh. “I went to domy groceries earlier today,” he explains. “I told the girl at the cash that I couldn’t wait to see what I’d look like once I got old.”
FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca
it seems that life had a different plan for the young lad who first set foot in Cornwall at the age of 10. “My father was an engineer. He used to get jobs all over the place and we’d stay in several different cities.” Gesturing with his hands, he recalls when he would come back from trips aboard the train. “I remember coming into the Cornwall train station,” he reminisces. “There were taxis everywhere. But they were Ford Model A’s! I know, because I had to take one home. They all had small curtains on their side, in case it rained.” The 102-year-old finished his primary school at Central Public school, which still stands to this day, albeit a bit different. “Du- ring two grades, my teachers would come to my house and ask why I hadmissed a week of school,” he recalls. “Mymother would tell them that I was upstairs inmy bed, sick. But I was lucky, I managed to finish. I had great teachers.” From there, Mr. Scott considered going to high school. “My big brother had been to high school and he had caused some trouble, so my mom told me that she didn’t want to send me to high school.” He therefore obtained a job at a local bedding company and oversaw two bigma- chines, which created the wiring for beds. “I was making $9 a week,” he proudly evokes, a wide grin on his face. “I was a young man with a lot of money. Why would I ever need to go to high school, I remember tellingmyself.” Meeting the love of his life When asked if he ever was married, Mr.
Scott smiles. “We knew each other as kids, we were friends,” he says, a hint of emotion present in his voice. “She was 10 and I was 14. She told her mother that she wouldmarry me one day. Her mother said that she would meet a lot of other boys. But she choseme!” Mr. Scott marriedMyrna Pyke in 1940. She was 17 and he was 21. “She was amarvellous woman,” he explains. “We weremarried for 63 years.” Together, they raised four daugh- ters and a son. By the time he was married, Mr. Scott was making $16 at the bedding company. “I remember tellingmy boss I wanted $25 a week. He looked very mad and walked into themanager’s office. When he came out, he toldme he could only add a couple of dollars to my pay.” Mr. Scott therefore decided to become employed by Courtaulds, where he worked for 35 years in the spinning room before retiring. “Once we were retired, we really enjoyed ourselves,” he says. “We visited Europe, the United States and parts of Canada. We really had fun.” Although hemight be up in age, his sense of humour still has a way of making even the younger ones laugh. “I went to do my groceries earlier today,” he explains. “I told the girl at the cash that I couldn’t wait to see what I’d look like once I’d get old.” To that, Mr. Scott erupts in his trademark high-pitched laugh, every one of his limbs moving, before quietly sitting back in his chair. His stare wanders back to Second Street, his mind once again at ease.
“When I was younger, my mother used to say that I would never make it to my teen years.’’
You may have seen him sitting comfor- tably in his lawn chair, located on his front porch. He proudly wears an orange hat and a small, light jacket. His wrist is decorated by a watch and his cane is always nearby. From his post, on the corner of Second and Cumberland Streets, Albert A. Scott smiles at passersbys and waves at children. “Oh, what a beauty they are,” he yells to a familymaking their way down the sidewalk, pushing a stroller. The two little girls in it can’t help but stare at the mysterious but charmingman.The two parents simply smile back. “I love kids,” he professes, still staring
at the busy street. Mr. Scott was born in 1913. During the last century, Cornwall has evolved froma small city, housing barns and cow fields, to a busy mill town, a transformation of which Mr. Scott is one of the few remaining witnesses. Nothing in his early years destined Mr. Scott to reach such a respectful age. “When I was younger, my mother used to say that I would never make it to my teen years,” he says proudly. “I was quite a sick child.” Yet,
The 102-year-old finished his primary school at Central Public school.
En bref/Brief Minor claims to be someone else A 16-year-old Cornwall youth was arrested on June 4 and charged with personation, obstructing police and breach of undertaking for communi- cating with someone she has conditions not to communicate with and failing to keep the peace. According to police, on June 4, the youth was spotted communicating with the person she has conditions not to communicate with and identi- fied herself as someone else to police. She was taken into custody, charged accordingly and held for a bail hearing. Her name was not released as per provision of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. – Francis Racine CCH devout of any physiotherapy services: Stroke Survivor Group Stroke Survivor Support Group John Milnes calls the Cornwall Community Hospital’s (CCH) lack of physiotherapy services totally unacceptable. In a document sent to Champlain Local Health Integrated Network CEO Chantale LeClerc, the president highlights that “the medical services available in our Cornwall Community Hospital are virtually non-existent.” Milnes also believes that a complete physiotherapy department is present in the now defunct Cornwall General Hospital. “This equipment is far beyond what the Cornwall Physiotherapy Clinic possesses.” According to the document, the CCH would be the only hospital in the region to not offer the said treatments. Neigh- bouring towns with fewer population, such as Alexandria, Pembroke, Renfrew and Winchester, all offer physiotherapy. – Francis Racine Found in possession of fentanyl Alcide Ceasor, 52, of Cornwall, was arrested on May 20 and charged with possession of fentanyl, possession of fentanyl for the purpose of traffic- king and property obtained by crime (Canadian currency). It is alleged that on the same day, the man was found to be in possession of a quantity of fentanyl and cash during a traffic stop. He was taken into custody, charged accordingly and held for a bail hearing. – Francis Racine Distracted driving OPP and other police forces are urging drivers to put down their cellphones and keep their eyes focused on the road ahead. A new awa- reness campaign about distracted driving and its consequences is in force. Police highway fatality statistics for 2014 in Ontario show that 73 people died as a result of distracted driving. Either they were the distracted driver or a passen- ger in their vehicle or else they were a pedestrian or someone in another vehicle that the distrac- ted driver hit. Distracted driving is a separate offence under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act and the latest amendment to the legislation has increased the legal penalty to a $1000 fine and three driver’s licence demerit points if ticketed. Any actions that distract a driver’s attention from the road and traffic conditions are covered under the legislation, from talking or texting on a mobile phone or other device, to eating and drinking while driving, or even glancing down to adjust an entertainment console or GPS system. – Gregg Chamberlain

The Cornwall Chamber of Commerce plans to kick off a busy summer season with its own version of the Amazing Race.The event will take place on June 27. “All of us at the Chamber are excited about this fun event. It is a great way to promote team building, an active lifestyle, and the exploration of Cornwall”, said events coor- dinator Jennie Merkley. “Not only will it be a frantic and hilarious competition between the teams, there is a terrific prize for the winners.” The idea of a local race was created by the Chamber, and Merkley describes how the event will work. “We have a course set up in Cornwall.The competition will consist of teams of two and each teamwill walk and run over the length of the course as they compete in a series of activities that will test both their physical and mental strengths.” Then, there is the reward at the end of the race. “Winners of the Chamber’s Ama- zing Race will win a cash prize of $1,000”, explained Merkley, who also announced that Summerheights will once again be the title sponsor of the race with NAV Canada as secondary sponsor.

• Selon de nombreux historiens, la feuille d’érable faisait déjà figure de symbole canadien en 1700. En 1834, elle devenait l’emblème de la Société Saint-Jean- Baptiste et, en 1860, elle était incorporée à l’insigne des militaires du 100e régiment. Entre 1876 et 1901, toutes les pièces de monnaies canadiennes étaient frappées de la feuille d’érable. Depuis la proclamation de l’unifolié, elle est devenue notre symbole le plus important.
La fête du Canada commémore la création de la Confédération canadienne par l’Acte de l’Amérique du Nord britannique, le 1er juillet 1867. C’est donc l’occasion idéale d’évoquer le patrimoine de notre nation, qui célébrera bientôt son 150e anniversaire… Le saviez-vous? • Le nom « Canada » vient du mot « kanata », qui désignait un village ou une bourgade dans la langue des Hurons ou des Iroquois. Il a été officiellement utilisé pour la première fois en 1791, lorsque la province de Québec fut divisée en deux colonies : le Haut- Canada, à l’ouest, et le Bas-Canada, à l’est. • Le rouge et le blanc sont les couleurs officielles du Canada depuis 1921. Le roi Georges V les a désignés comme couleurs nationales dans la proclamation des armoiries royales du Canada.

department. Meals are planned to provide food as recommended by Canada’s Food Guide to Healthy Eating andHealth Canada’s Recommended Nutrient Intake. The meals are prepared fresh each day by the dietary staff at the Glen Stor Dun Lodge. Recipients receive an entrée, a soup, salad, gravy and dessert. But the whole experience is much more than a simple meal, which is served from Monday to Friday. It also provides home- bound individuals withmuch needed social interaction, a safety check as well as a daily visitor. But Mrs. Morin points that the 220 volunteers are all becoming older. “We need new blood,” she said. “Most of our volunteers are retired. We do work around their schedule though.” Volunteers also have the responsibility to report any unusual or at-risk situation or concern to the Meals on Wheels staff. Delivery routes have a total of 19meal deli- veries, so visiting is limited to a fewminutes for each recipient. Every year, the agency delivers more than 30,000meals and for Mary-Lynn Robinson, it has become a tradition. “My father used to do it, so I started doing it too,” said the volunteer. “I’ve been doing it for more than 10 years now.” A history of helping others In October 1969, several women fromall religious denominations were invited to at- tend ameeting at St. Paul’s United Church to endeavour to forman organization tomeet the nutritional needs of the elderly, disabled and convalescent in the community, who were unable to prepare their own meals. On April 6, 1970, Cornwall Meals on Wheels delivered their first meals to six recipients throughout the city. The meals were prepared by the Cornwall General Hos- pital. The program grew quickly and within a month, a second outlet was opened at Hotel Dieu Hospital to provide meals to six more recipients. In 1994, the Glen Stor Dun Lodge became themain outlet for meal preparation as well as recipient coordination. In 1999, for the first time in Meals on Wheels Cornwall’s history, a paid position was introduced.

Meals-on-Wheels is a volunteer-based support service that delivers hot and nu- tritious meals to homebound citizens of Cornwall, who are unable to preparemeals for themselves. “We rely on volunteers,” explained An-
drée-AnneMorin, coordinator of the agency. “We have seven routes, which serve roughly 19 meals through the city. It takes about an hour and a half per route.” The organization operates in partnership with the Glen Stor Dun Lodge Outreach
A non-profit agency, which serves full sup- pers to over 135 individuals in the commu- nity, is in need of volunteers.

1936 plowing match memories still fresh for some COmmunauté • COmmun i ty
FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca
Farms were smaller and so was the Inter- national Plowing Match (IPM). But the event was still very important for area resi- dents, when Stormont, Dundas &Glengarry hosted the event in 1936. Garfield MacLennan, having been 91 years on this earth, was only 11 years old when the first IPMwas held in Eastern On- tario. The tented city and most of the plow- ing at that historic match were held on his grandfather’s farm, located on South Branch Road north of Cornwall. Being only a boy, some memories are more vivid than others. “It was the horses,” he remembers fondly. “I remember looking out and seeing the horses plowing.” He also recalls seeing very few teams hauled in by truck and reckons many would have been driven to thematch.The plowing alternated, he says, plowing a grain field one day, then working a sod field the next. “We always had 10 to 14 horses around before we had tractors, “he says. “And my father always had a driving horse.” The 91-year-old still remembers how interesting it was to see so many visitors attend the IPM. “When you were a kid back then, you didn’t get too far fromwhere you lived,” he says. Having thousands of visitors arrive in the old Cornwall Township was amonumental event. He also recollects how excited the adults were, leading up to the 1936 match. Because he was in school at the time, he spent only two days at the match, one day watching the horse plowing competitions and one day looking around the tented city where vendors and equipment dealers dis- played all manner of goods. “Water pumps, farm implements, anything of interest to farmers,” he explains. “That was my first exposure to tractors.” The IPM legacy, the lasting economic impact for the host county, varies fromyear to year, but for Garfield’s grandfather and the other farmers on the South Branch, it was significant. “My grandfather got electricity on his farmbecause of that plowingmatch,” he says.

ARIES You’re concerned about your health and you’d like to get a bit more fit, even if only for the summer months. This would be a good time to start a diet. TAURUS You’re given a platform on which to express yourself. You may say so- mething that will be remembered for a long time to come or that will spread around the world, courtesy of the Web. GEMINI Big projects are being organized at home as well as between you and your partner. You may decide to live with someone new and start a fa- mily, even if it’s a blended one. CANCER You’re tempted to express out loud what others are only thinking. How- ever, your wisdom and maturity should help you choose your words diplomatically. LEO You have a hard time controlling your spending when you find your- self in a beautiful store. A more spi- ritual way of life would be a very attractive option.

LIBRA The most important thing right now is your health. You become increa- singly aware of its importance and live more for the moment. Rest and relaxation are also on the menu this week.
