Lost Villages Historical Society & Museum Apr/May/June 2020 Newsletter Lost Villages Historical Society & Museum WELCOME TO SPRING IN MARCH 2020, I HAD PREPARED THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE WHILE ON A HOLIDAY IN FLORIDA. DUE TO COVID-19 PANDEMIC, WE HAD TO MAKE A HASTY RETREAT FOR HOME, THEN WE QUARANTINED AND ISOLATED. AS WITH MANY CANADIANS, WE HAVE BEEN STAYING CLOSE TO HOME, WASHING OUR HANDS MORE FREQUENTLY, WEARING A MASK WHEN NEEDED, AND HAVING OUR DAUGHTERS PICK UP GROCERIES, E.T.C. THIS WAS THE MESSAGE I PREPARED IN FLORIDA: Well, spring has sprung, and the robins and blackbirds are back in full force, I hope. As I prepare this newsletter, I am in Clermont, Florida, in the final third of our six-week vacation. The weather has been wonderful, although we have had a few blasts of cooler air from the north. However, the hibiscus shrubs are in full bloom, and a pair of Sandhill Cranes recently showed off their new family, two little chicks. What fun to watch them search for dinner in our back yard, not far from the alligator pond, beyond our screened in the pool area. Spring is a time for early planning for the museum's opening in June 2020, and we have been working on completing a revised constitution and a new Lease Agreement at Ault Park with the Township of South Stormont. I thank the Executive members for their work on the Constitution and Agreement. We have lost some valuable members from the Lost Villages Historical Society in recent months, and I would be remiss if I did not single out the passing of Carson Elliott, often referred to as "Mr. Canada Day" at the Lost Villages. His sudden passing was a shock to us all, as he was planning to meet with the Executive of the historical society in early April, to put some final touches on Canada Day 2020. We are left to carry on with plans, and we hope that others in the historical society will lend a hand. As in the past, we have had some great support from members, and we look forward to future support. WHILE ACTIVITIES AT THE MUSEUM SITE ARE AT A STAND-STILL AND THE TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH STORMONT IS TAKING PRECAUTIONS AROUND THE MUSEUM SITE, ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXECUTIVE CONTINUE, AND WE HAVE BEEN MEETING VIA CONFERENCE CALLS. THESE HAVE PROVEN EFFECTIVE, ALTHOUGH NOT IDEAL, BUT LIFE GOES ON WITH YOUR HISTORICAL SOCIETY. FUNDRAISING – THE PANDEMIC WILL GREATLY IMPACT THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY'S ABILITY TO RAISE FUNDS IN 2020, YET THERE ARE MONTHLY BILLS TO COVER. WHILE PERSONAL DISCRETIONARY FUNDS MAY BE LIMITED IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD, WE HOPE THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO YOUR HISTORICAL SOCIETY. All donations are tax receipted, and they may be made in the following manner: Cheque made payable and mailed to THE LOST VILLAGES HISTORICAL SOCIETY; click on www.lostvillages.ca www.facebook.com/treasurehistory Page 1 of 9 "DONATION" on the website, or an E-Transfer through our Treasurer by telephoning Gloria Waldroff at 613-537-8226. YOUR HELP WITH THIS FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN IS APPRECIATED. NOTE!! 2020 CANADA DAY ACTIVITIES AT AULT PARK HAVE BEEN CANCELLED; BUS TOURS THROUGH THE LANDS OF THE LOST VILLAGES HAVE BEEN CANCELLED FOR 2020; "ARTISANS IN THE PARK" AND ALL OTHER ACTIVITIES AT THE MUSEUM SITE HAVE BEEN POSTPONED, UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THE NEXT NEWSLETTER SHOULD HAVE DETAILS ON THE RESUMPTION OF MEETINGS, E.T.C. UPDATED CONSTITUTION The Executive of the LVHS has worked for a few months, under the direction of member and Township of South Stormont representative Andrew Guindon, to update the Constitution of The Lost Villages Historical Society. A draft comes to you with this newsletter, as ALL members must receive a copy of it, 30 days before ratification. The ratification will come at the A.G.M., whenever the A.G.M. occurs. Associated with the A.G.M., we have the following Notices of Motion to present. These will be dealt with at the A.G.M. 1. That The Lost Village Historical Society does not appoint an auditor and does not have an audit in respect of the corporation's financial years ending in 2017, 2018, 2019, as provided for under Section 130.1 (1) of the Corporations Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. C.38. The Lost Villages Historical Society has appointed and thanks to Ms. Connie Charlebois, Connie Charlebois Bookkeeping Services, for undertaking a review of the corporation's financial statement for 2019. 2. That The Lost Villages Historical Society adopts the attached By-law #1 relating to its conduct and affairs. BITS AND PIECES -During a visit to the Lost Villages Archives, recently, M.P. Eric Duncan received a signed print of the museum site, done by the late Bernardus (Ben) Babelowsky (January 1, 1932- July 2, 2019). This print will be framed and displayed in Eric's office on Parliament Hill. -In the summer and fall of 2019, Dani Shae Barkley, a student at Brock University in St. Catharines, visited the Lost Villages Museum and Archives and took the bus tour "Through the Lands of the Lost Villages." Dani was researching and writing a play about the Hydro and Seaway Projects of the 1950s. The play has been written, and Dani writes: "I hope the winter season is treating you well! I am excited to share that the play about the Seaway Project, entitled Out of House and Home, is debuting at Brock University in St. Catharines, ON. this spring. The performance is taking place on Monday, March 30, at 7:30 pm in the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts (Studio C). Because of your significant contribution to this project, I am reaching out to inform you of this performance. If you would like to attend this performance, you can reserve tickets by visiting this website: https://brocku.universitytickets.com/?cid=185 or you can call me on the telephone at 613-803-7929. Please reserve your seat as soon as possible if you plan to attend, as I will be advertising more publically in early March and there will only be one performance in St. Catharines. That www.lostvillages.ca www.facebook.com/treasurehistory Page 2 of 9 being said, I understand that St. Catharines is a very far distance from your home. It is my pleasure to let you know that the cast has agreed to come to SD&G to perform the play at some point this summer (2020). We are considering holding our performance in early August, but the timing may be subject to change. I will send more information about this performance as soon as I can. Thank you, once again, for your contributions to this artistic project. I look forward to hearing from you soon!" -A hearty "THANK YOU" to Tim Gault for his work in keeping a path open to the Forbes Memorial Reading Room and the Stuart House, during the winter of 2019/20. Tim, we are appreciative of your kindness, and this helped to keep the archives open to researchers and members. -Did you know that the late Fred Ross of Mille Roches made quite a name for himself in the sport of roller skating? While the dates are unknown, the following details were gleaned from a document found at the archives of the Lost Villages. "March 7 – Fred. Ross won a gold medal and the one-mile championship of roller skating. The other competitors were Alex. McPherson and Joseph Gagnon. The race was skated in two heats. McPherson won second place. The time was 3.50 minutes. The judges were William Ross, James Nugent, and A.C. Porteous. October 22 – In a two-mile race on roller skates at Ottawa, Fred. A. Ross of Cornwall defeated Billy Atkinson, champion of Ottawa, by two laps. The race was for $25.00 a side. November 7 – Fred. Ross of Cornwall defeated Mr. Riddell of Brockville in a two-mile skating race at the Victoria Roller Rink, Ross finishing a lap and a half ahead of his opponent. November 24 – Fred. Ross of Cornwall easily defeated James Williams, champion of Brockville, in a two-mile roller skating race at Brockville. Ross won by three-quarters of a lap." -Thank you to Gloria Waldroff for the outstanding collection of "Peeks from the Past." Many of the clippings relate to the Lost Villages and communities associated with them. -Thank you to member Jennie Shankoff for her contribution of Raggedy-Ann and Andy (Canadian and American) dolls for sale at our store. When we re-open, you will find these at the sales counter at the Manson/Lapierre Store. -Work continues on the development of a new lease agreement between the Lost Villages Historical Society and the Township of South Stormont for the museum site at Ault Park. While the first building, the MacLeod Log House, was restored in 1985, it was not until August 10, 1992, that a museum opened in it. At the time, the Township of Cornwall managed Ault Park, and it was then assumed by the Township of South Stormont on January 1, 1998. The Executive of the historical society has been working with Debi Lucas-Switzer, Chief Administrative Officer, and Kevin Amelotte, Recreation Coordinator, Township of South Stormont. -For those in the Long Sault area, please watch for the next issue of "Neighbours of Long Sault." The historical society has been asked to make contributions to the next few issues, so President Jim Brownell just completed the first historical narrative. We thank Brian McDonald, Publisher, Best Version Media.

  • THE FLOOD TOWER NETWORK a Warning System for St
    THE FLOOD TOWER NETWORK A Warning System for St. Lawrence Riparians By Rachel Rodd A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Architecture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario ©2019 Rachel Rodd ABSTRACT This thesis questions whether our dependence on the extensive river infrastructure of dams and spillways and leading edge communication technologies are sufficient means of community protection against flooding in an era of climate change and unpredictable floodplain development. Can architecture serve communities to promote a greater understanding of local rivers and raise an awareness for flooding while revealing the invisible — and often underestimated — forces of water around us? A network of Flood Towers are proposed along the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers. Subverting the legacy of prevailing water control infrastructure, these Towers stand as physical reminders of inundated villages of the past and serve as warnings to lost villages of the future. A House Moving network is proposed in partnership with the Towers to enable communities to rapidly withdraw their homes from the unstable landscapes. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To my thesis advisor Sheryl for your continued guidance, encouraging words and library of knowledge. To my current colleagues who not only generously provided me the flexibility to continue working throughout my graduate studies, but who shared their ideas, their passions and their optimisms in regards to my topic of study. To everyone who have shown patience, support and guidance and who have shared moments of laughter and brightness throughout my years of architectural studies. Thank you.

    Asset Management Plan Roads, Bridges and Structural Culverts, Water Distribution, Sanitary Collection, Water and Sewage Treatment Plants Prepared for: The Township of South Stormont 2 Mille Roches Road, P.O. Box 84 Long Sault, ON K0C 1P0 Prepared by: Phil Whelan, P.Eng. McIntosh Perry Consulting Engineers Ltd. 115 Walgreen Road Carp, ON K0A 1L0 December 11, 2013 Executive Summary The Township of South Stormont recognizes that in order to sustain services for its residents and for the competitiveness of its businesses, agriculture and industry, it must manage the Township’s assets cost effectively. McIntosh Perry and Allan Chartered Accountants were commissioned by the Township to develop the Asset Management Plans for the Road Network, Bridges and Structural Culverts, Water Distribution System, Sanitary Sewer Collection System, as well as Sewage and Water Treatment Plants. The findings for individual infrastructure varied, as follows: The Road Network requires additional spending to avoid network deterioration and optimize its overall condition rating (Section 3.1). Significant spending has been done to replace the aging Bridge infrastructure, which is reflected in the average bridge age of 24 years. The Structural Culverts are slightly older with an average age of 29 years. Of note here is that during the next 30 years, a significant number of culverts will be coming up for renewal (Section 3.2). The Township’s Water Distribution System is holding strong, as an analysis of the age distribution and average remaining service life of the Township’s watermains shows that, although a portion of the system is in the later stages of its expected service life, none of the watermains will reach the end of their expected service life within the time forecasted by this report (Section 3.3).

  • Towards Harmonization in Naming Along Canada's Southern Border
    Towards harmonization in naming along Canada’s southern border Helen KERFOOT* In the 1950s, a major power project was constructed on the St. Lawrence River between Canada and the USA, and in 1959 the St. Lawrence Seaway was created. In order to undertake these large engineering projects that would benefit both countries, the water levels would be raised by over 73 metres. This would involve flooding of farmland, creating a new landscape, particularly on the Canadian side where it necessitated moving families from six communities and three smaller hamlets into two newly created communities above flood level. Naming the new features appeared straight forward, but turned out to be problematic, showing that a names board needs good supporting material with local input before making decisions and that Government ministers can influence decision-making; it also provides an example of preservation of cultural heritage through geographical naming. A lake was formed and required a name that could be used on both sides of the Canada/US border; agreement was reached, although not without questions. Some 25 years later, representatives of the names boards of Canada and the USA met to develop an agreement on the naming of transboundary features. This was signed in 1989 and has been in effect since. Following this agreement, an inventory was created of named features that crossed the Canada/US boundary. For various reasons there were differences in the names of a number of shared features in the inventory; few attempts have been made to change these names for consistency, and local usage and language may justify their retention as reflections of differing cultural heritages.

  • Motion and Resolution Board Meeting of March 20, 2012
    Motion and Resolution Board meeting of March 20, 2012 Solidarité Cornwall Background Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) obtained its designation under Ontario’s French Language Services Act . This designation for Cornwall Community Hospital stems from a directive set by the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care when the Hôtel-Dieu Hospital and the Cornwall General Hospital were amalgamated to create the Cornwall Community Hospital. Consequently, Cornwall Community Hospital is required by law to provide services in both official languages (English/French) to the community. The municipality of South Stormont has decided to not honour its financial commitment towards the expansion of the hospital as long as CCH’s hiring policy is not modified. Citizens have expressed their opposition to both the French Language Services Act and the designation it confers to the Cornwall Community Hospital. The Cornwall and surrounding region has a francophone population that makes up 30% of the total population. Resolution WHEREAS French and English are the official languages of Canada since the adoption of the 1969 Official Languages Act ; WHEREAS the Ontario legislature unanimously adopted the French Language Services Act in 1986, designating bilingual regions and public service agencies; WHEREAS access to health services in one’s own language is a decisive factor in the quality of services; WHEREAS The Francophone Assembly of Ontario adopted a position on March 6, 2012 supporting the francophone community in its struggle to maintain services in French;
