PROTEST ON BRIDGE SHAWNA O’NEILL

soneill@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – A group of protesters occupied the middle of the snow covered Seaway International Bridge on Friday, Feb. 7 between 2:41 p.m. and 4:26 p.m. A few protestors stood, holding signs amid snowfall and temperatures of -12 Celsius with windchill on the North Bridge to Canadian Customs. A string of vehicles lingered behind them. The protest stopped traffic in both directions and prompted a response from police. We were told this was a result of a local protest regarding the B.C. pipeline issue.

New Complex seat cushions to cost $305,000 nseebruch@seawaynews.com

CORNWALL, Ontario – During the second day of Cornwall’s budget deliberations, the Parks and Recreation Department asked that the replacement of the seat cushions at the Cornwall Civic Complex as a part of their 2020 capital projects budget at a cost of $305,000. The blue seats that make up the bulk of the 5,000 seats at the Complex date back to the building’s construction in 1976, according to Parks and Recreation Division Manager Jamie Fawthrop, the padding in those cushions have been reduced to dust. In 2019, Council set aside $55,000 to study the replacement of the seats. The company that first provided the seats all those decades ago is still in operation, and they still provide replacement parts for the model of seats at the Civic Complex. Because of the degradation of the

cushions, many patrons of the Complex are left sitting directly on the metal springs in the seat pan. Councillor Todd Bennett welcomed this budget item, saying that he hoped it would increase attendance to events at the facility. “I’ve heard people say that they won’t go to anything in the Complex because they don’t want to sit in the insert expletive here, seats,” he said. “I watched three hours of curling, but I sat for 15 minutes because that’s all I could take,” added Councillor Glen Grant. If approved, the seats could be replaced by the end of the year. “This is one of the things that can be done to revive the building, but money will need to be spent in order to do that,” Fawthrop said. Go to www.cornwallseawaynews.com for the rest of this story PLUS additional SN coverage.

Councillor Dean Hollingsworth passes an example of a new Civic Complex cushion to Councillor Syd Gardiner at a Budget Committee meeting on Tuesday, February 4, 2020. (Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News).

How my recycling habits have changed

PHASE 2 CONSTRUCTION ALMOST COMPLETE Now taking reservations

IT’S A FACT! EMMA MELDRUM

Visiting the City of Cornwall’s landfill and recycling facility has changed how I look at my waste, and how I recycle – here’s what habits have changed: Teeny tiny bits of recyclable items no longer make it into my blue bin. Little bits of paper and plastic are likely to fall off the conveyor belt. I divert plastic wrap and other soft plastic packaging where it belongs – to the garbage. I wish we could recycle everything – including pesky Styrofoam – but sending garbage to the recycling sorting facility means sorters waste time picking through trash. When in doubt, throw it out!

Plastics and cans are washed thoroughly before heading to the recycling. The system won’t collapse if there’s a little water left in your bottle, but the cleaner the items, the better price we get for them at market. Where possible, I choose a waste-free option. Recycling is a revenue-generator for our waste disposal system, but reduce and reuse come first! Throwing away food waste ends for my household in 2020. My goal is to set up a composter in the backyard and possibly cut our weekly garbage in half. We’ll talk about this more in a future column, but for now I’ll keep it at this: compost will do my vegetable garden more good than it will the landfill. We don’t need to drastically change our lives to make a difference. We can all extend the life of our landfill, and improve the efficiency of our recycling facility, by choosing one or two habits to work on. You can book a tour of City facilities, including the landfill, by sending me an email: emeldrum@cornwall.ca.

Starting on Family Day, Feb. 17, the Kinsmen and Kinettes of Cornwall will be celebrating Kin Canada’s 100th anniversary and the Kinsmen Club of Cornwall’s 87th anniversary with a week’s worth of fun activities. Kinsmen Club of Cornwall President Robin McIntosh said that his father Claude raised him with a sense of community responsibility and that was one reason why he wanted to become a Kinsmen. “I’ve always wanted to help our and give back to the community, and that’s what being

a Kin is all about,” he said. “The Kinsmen have been community leaders throughout our 87-year history.” McIntosh pointed out some of the important fundraisers, events and features that the Kinsmen Club brought to the Cornwall and Canada. During the Second World War, as Great Britain was suffering through the blitz and wartime rationing, the Kinsmen Club of Canada collected milk for Britain. The Kinsmen Club of Cornwall has left its mark throughout the city. In the west end, there is the Kinsmen Minor Soccer field; in the East End during the summer, there is the Kinsmen Farmer’s Market. The Kinsmen Club of Cornwall has donated

of the two upstairs dining rooms. Included in the upstairs is also a boardroom, in case local businesses or guests at the Nav Centre wanted a slightly more close, but warmer place to meet. Charcuterie boards were first offered to the guests which included a variety of cheeses, pickled beans and meats such as chorizo, Genoa Salami and duck sausage. Guests were then provided with four different appetizers to try at their table such as Thai Chicken Satay and Stonehouse Sambuca Shrimp. Each guest at each table then got a surprise and random item from the Stonehouse menu. It gave each table the opportunity to try a variety from the Stonehouse’s selection. This reporter had some of the best seafood linguini he has ever tried. During the meal, Bentley took the time to focus on the staff members at Stonehouse. An important step and one that highlighted that the success of Stonehouse was a team effort. Servers for the evening included Jade, Mario, Meagan, and Seven. The menu at Stonehouse was designed by Executive Chef, Boopathi Venkatesan and Sous Chef, Gabriel Asselin. Chef Shawn Fowler told the room how honoured he was to be involved in the

project and that it had reignited his passion for cooking. The prices on the menu are very reasonable for what guests receive. There is also depth and variety to the menu, providing options for nearly everyone. Stonehouse is open from Thursday to Saturday from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. The restaurant has a maximum capacity of 40 guests

amongst other things. All of Bergeron’s motions were defeated by wide margins. “When Council chose not to hear presentations from the people sitting here that’s when I decided I couldn’t pass this budget,” Bergeron said. “Suffice to say I have a different view of our responsibility here.” “I just don’t understand the priorities when everything was approved,” Bergeron added, stating he believed the waterfront plan was of greater priority than the fire hall. Other members of council had a more positive view of the budget. “I couldn’t put forward any motions to decrease it, it is a bare minimum budget,” said Councillor Maurice Dupelle.

“Usually I wouldn’t do a victory lap over a 3.06 increase,” said Councillor Claude McIntosh. “HVAC at justice building. $1 million. it has to be done. These are all things that have to be done and we’re doing them.” Mayor Bernadette Clement praised the budget and the work of administration in creating it. “This is a responsible budget that supports our very precious infrastructure. It speaks to growth and our future,” she said. The budget passed with only Councillor Eric Bergeron voting against.

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall City Council passed the 2020 municipal budget with a 3.06 per cent residential tax increase, or $76.26 per household. Council passed the budget after around 17 hours of deliberation over three days. Council was originally presented with a 2.72 per cent increase, but $60,000 was added to the budget for a new position in administration to help organize strategic priorities in the city. The first and second day began with the review of capital projects, including a new fire hall, HVAC replacement for the Justice

Building, a new snow machine for Big Ben, new seats for the Civic Complex and more. At the end of the second day, Councillor Eric Bergeron asked for presentations the following day, Wednesday, from all department heads on their Operating budget, which is largely made up of salaries determined by union negotiations. Council defeated that motion, but did agree to have all department heads present in order to answer questions. On Wednesday, Bergeron made roughly a dozen motions to remove items from the municipal budget. Including removing the snow machine for Big Ben, the $2.9 million for a new fire hall, and the Arts Centre,

including the upstairs and downstairs and they take reservations throughout the week. For more information on this new experience offered by the Nav Centre, or to see the menu, check their website. Go to www.cornwallseawaynews.com for the rest of this story PLUS additional SN coverage.

When seniors rule NICK SEEBRUCH

8 - Wednesday, February 12, 2020

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

The students of our region had a rare snow day this past week. Compared to recent years, I feel like snow days are few and far between in 2019-2020, the students however, are not missing out on their bonus days off. The ongoing labour dispute between various teachers unions and their employers and the province seems to have no end in sight. Parents, students, and teachers in our region and across the province have experienced the rotating strikes that each union seems to be participating in. A strong sticking point between both sides right now is the unions’ use of a seniority list when picking teachers for permanent positions. The rule states that school boards must choose from five qualified applicants who have the most seniority on the substitute teachers list when considering teachers for new permanent positions. Negotiations between the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (ETFO) and the school boards and province broke down last week after the latter two made a proposal to change the seniority rule. ETFO President Sam Hammond told a news conference that what the province proposed “essentially gutted the regulation,” while Education Minister Stephen Lecce said the rule “undermines the quality of education.” I think that the two sides, and the public should be discussing this rule. Hammond of the ETFO says that the rule is essential to supply teachers who aspire to one day get a full-time job at a school board and that this system promotes fairness. Does it though? I’m sure that for a teacher who has been on the supply list for years, the promise that if they do their time, they’ll get a full-time job must seem promising, and likely encourages

them to keep on making themselves available to the same school board. What effect is this having on the quality of education though? Are younger teachers, with enthusiasm and skill, are they being passed over for their more senior counterparts simply because of their junior years? I agree with Lecce on this one that the guiding principle of education should be merit and quality. The ETFO and other unions state that the school boards will pick the most qualified teachers from the seniority list from the most senior teachers on that list. It seems that the unions agree at least in part that the qualifications of teachers are important, but why take seniority into account at all? How does seniority benefit students? To me, it seems like the unions are trying to retain older members in a high demand field at the expense of younger teachers, fresh out of university who are told to wait. I have heard of stories of young teachers who spend as much as a decade or more waiting for their opportunity to teach kids. I would guess that younger teachers have their own significant student debt to deal with, and that a full-time position would go a long way for them. Filling vacancies with older teachers might mean more frequent turnovers due to retirements, younger grads might be more flexible, and provide better options when filling vacancies. I feel that as long as a teacher is qualified, they should be allowed to apply for the position and at least get an interview. This way, the boards will have the opportunity to find the right teacher for the right classroom, rather than looking through the oldest of teachers for the one that mostly fits their needs. What do you think readers? Should unions get rid of their seniority rule for supply teachers? If no, why not? Email me a Letter to the Editor at nseebruch@seawaynews.media

Volunteering a Big way to help

BIGS BLOG KELSEY JEAUROND

Through our agency we have a quite a few programs that benefit the children and youth in our area. This month, I thought I would highlight one of our mentoring programs to give a bit of insight of some of the things that go on around here and the process that it takes to join as a volunteer. Our most well-known program is our traditional one-to-one mentoring match. This is where a screened volunteer is matched up with a child who is between the ages of 6 to 16 from our waitlist. Our matches are made

based on interests not numbers to help the matches last. We ask our Big’s to take their Little’s out once a week for just 2-4 hours. We do ask our volunteers to commit to at least one year as most of the children on the waitlist have waited longer than that to get their Big. In this one year our matches bond and foster friendships that help our Little’s build their self-esteem, and confidence. We have seen their academics grow, and seen them just have them an all-around better outlook on life. Upon making the matches official, our volunteers are given a list of no cost outing ideas, as well as long cost or discounted ideas throughout the SD&G area. There is a process to becoming a volunteer within our agency. Each volunteer must fill out an application form, provide references, provide a clean police check, have an interview, and orientation. For more information on how to become a Big please contact kelsey. jeaurond@bigbrothersbigsisters.ca. A little bit of time can make a BIG difference in a child’s life.

What’s happening in South Dundas 3 MINUTES WITH THE MAYOR STEVEN BYVELDS - SOUTH DUNDAS

First let me thank the Seaway News for providing a place to highlight what is happening in our Municipality of South Dundas. We have a vibrant community with a bright future and it is my intention to use this space to share some of South Dundas’ ongoing work. A new and exciting year lies ahead for South Dundas. In December and January our main objective as a Council had been to finalize the 2020 budget. Over the course of three meetings we finalized the Municipal operating and capital budget. During these meetings our Council and

Staff have worked to provide quality services to our residents while maintaining a fair and reasonable tax increase. There can be no progress without this funding, nevertheless it is our mission to be fiscally responsible to our constituents. Council has had to make the hard decisions. Some of these decisions included the future of our landfills, garbage and recycling services and the need for investment in human resources. We will bring focus to our Municipality through economic development and tourism, continue to provide recreation programming and services, improve our infrastructure and help South Dundas grow. I’m confident that we have produced a solid foundation to move into the New Year and have a strong financial plan in place. Most importantly I hope our residents understand the strength of our commitment to serving them. As elected officials it is our job to serve the residents of the Municipality. That means listening and following through on our promises. I look forward to the year ahead.

A man claiming to have murdered his wife showed up at the Ontario Provincial Police station on Augustus Street just south of Second Street (this was just before it moved to the new town of Long Sault) in the early-morning hours of Feb. 12, 1958 And police didn’t have to go far to find the victim ... or the murder weapon. Ontario Provincial Police dispatcher Const. Russell Hawkshaw was winding down his overnight shift when the neatly-dressed, wellgroomed man came through the front door of the OPP headquarters at 4:30 a.m. He told Hawkshaw that there was a body in the backseat of his car parked outside the station. On the backseat of the compact 1957 Renaud sports car bearing Quebec plates Hawkshaw found the body of a young woman dressed in a nightgown and wrapped in a bloodsoaked blanket. On the floor of the car was a 20-gauge shotgun. The victim had been shot in the side of the head. Police quickly learned that the deceased was Barbara MacDonald, an attractive 25-year-old mother of a three-year-old daughter. The man who reported the crime and now in police custody was her husband, 27-year-old William MacDonald, an electrical service supervisor for a Montreal company. She had been shot while asleep in bed at the couple’s Pierrefont duplex, a new suburb on the outskirts of Montreal. The three-year-old daughter was spending the night with the man’s parents who lived upstairs. The husband could not explain why he drove to Cornwall or why he decided to turn himself in to the OPP. He had no connection to Cornwall. When officers discovered the crime scene was in Quebec, they notified Quebec Provincial Police. A short-time later veteran homicide detective Lt. Ubald Legault arrived to take over the investigation and escort the man back to Montreal. The car was towed while the body was

transported to a Montreal morgue by a QPP ambulance. Legault told Standard-Freeholder newsman Hal Lee that when he interviewed MacDonald at the city police station where he was being held, the man talked “freely” and did not ask for a lawyer. The detective would not give details of the interview but said it appeared that jealousy was behind the shooting. The couple divorced in 1956 two years after marrying but remarried five months before the shooting. Lt. Legault said police found two notes at the MacDonald home, both on the front door. One read, “No milk until further notice.” The other said, “Call police.” Two days later MacDonald was charged with murder. ALSO THIS WEEK IN 1958: Thieves cut through a cement block wall at the rear of the new Long Sault Shopping Centre and looted Brown’s Grocery Store and Derousie Hardware. Along with $600 in cash removed from a safe in the grocery store, the thieves made off with 70 cartons of cigarettes and several boxes of cigars. At the hardware store, money and merchandise were taken. However, police were surprised to find that several rifles and boxes of ammunition were not stolen. Nor was there an attempt to break into the Bank of Montreal next door. ... City council agreed to hire nine new firefighters to bring the department up to 38. It was noted that both the chief and deputy chief were on sick leave and that the Pitt Street station was being operated by shift captains. ... The roof of the 30-year-old Morrisburg Arena collapsed under the weight of snow from a blizzard two days earlier. It was empty at the time. ... Juvenile Magistrate P. C. Bergeron warned parents that they could be charged for keeping their children out of school without a valid reason. He had just dealt with several cases involving delinquent juveniles. They include a 14-yer-old charged with break-enter and theft, a 15-year-old charged with stealing a car and an 11-year-old charged with breaking into a store and stealing cigarettes and candy. ... The annual playgrounds ice carnival was held at the Athletic Grounds. Heather MacDonald was named carnival queen and

Five Strategies to improve your energy levels and overcome fatigue

MOVEMENT MATTERS NATASHA INGRAM

Have you been feeling sluggish this winter? Having trouble getting a restful sleep? We live in a society where we cover up our fatigue symptoms and energy issues with quick fixes (caffeine, sugar) that make us more fatigued

in the long run. Our bodies have a natural, internal circadian rhythm that regulates our sleep-wake cycle. When this rhythm is disrupted, it decreases our body’s ability for cellular regeneration which can lead to diseases such as chronic fatigue, cancer, obesity and Alzheimer’s disease. The exciting part is that we have the ability to change our circadian rhythm and transform our energy levels through simple strategies and lifestyle changes. 1. Make sure to get sunlight in the first 30mins after you wake up. This is the best time to get your body’s energetic signal active. If you can’t go outside, buy a bright light/therapy box. 2. Sleep in complete darkness. Little lights in your bedroom can have a negative impact on brain function while you sleep. If needed, buy a sleep mask/night

shades. 3. All electronic devices should be off and out of your bedroom in the last hour before sleeping. Not only can the light from these devices disrupt your sleep, but their electromagnetic field can suppress our natural circadian rhythm, delaying sleep onset and disrupting the hormonal cascade that needs to happen before and during your sleep. If you absolutely need an alarm or your phone in the bedroom, make sure they are 6 feet away from your bed. 4. Maximize your sleep time based on your natural pattern of sleep. The modern world has forced us into a later sleep pattern (staying inside for working hours, going out with friends when it’s dark). Our ideal bedtime is about 1-2hours earlier than we think. Ideally our sleep patterns should mimic the setting and rising of the sun (here

in Canada, think about when the sun sets in the summer). 5. Decrease your feeding window to 8-10hrs instead of 14-17hours. This will help you lose fat, sleep better and improve your energy levels. You do not need to restrict calories with this, you just need to decrease the amount of time that you’re eating in a day. This simple strategy amplifies the cellular clean up and recycle process. There you have it folks! Deepen your sleep, increase your energy levels and improve vitality with these 5 simple strategies and you will wake up feeling rested and ready to take on the day!

New Chamber ED outlines future priorities CORNWALL, Ontario – Greg Pietersma has hit the ground running over the past three weeks as the new Executive Director of the Cornwall and Area Chamber of Commerce. Less than a month into the job, Pietersma has been striving to do his due diligence to better understand where the Chamber fits into the community and what members expect of it. “It’s going well. Cornwall is very friendly and keen to work with the Chamber…I have met a lot of fantastic people, and I think the really exciting part is the number of great young people I have met that just love this city and want to make it better,” said Pietersma. “Young entrepreneurs put a social responsibility on things. That is different and new, and we want to make sure we are helping them with that and championing it,” he added. Through brainstorming meetings and honest coffee chats with past Chamber members, local politicians and representatives of partner agencies, he has also gained more understanding of the needs and perspectives of seasoned and up-and-coming entrepreneurs. Pietersma plans to soon outline a list

of future goals to the Board. “One of (the Board’s) overarching goals is ensuring we are being responsive to our member’s needs,” said Pietersma. Pietersma feels that more locals will be interested in becoming Chamber member through valuable events and program opportunities. He hopes to offer workshops that are unique to this area, covering issues that are not always prioritized. “There’s the obvious (essential workshops) but then there’s things that may be less obvious, like dealing with the mental health of your employees and dealing with your own mental health. So those issues are not ones you may see as standard Chamber offerings and that’s where I see we can add value…I’ve been there (as a business owner), I know how it can be when you are alone and trying to solve different pressures, but we don’t talk about that. So I think there are a lot of opportunities there,” said Pietersma. Pietersma hopes to see a range of training developed under his guidance. He also wants to place a keen eye on the personal and professional needs of entrepreneurs, like times and dates that are easiest for them to attend informative events, making it easier for

Winter Car Wash Tips

244521

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

soneill@seawaynews.media

Intentionally applying a significant quantity of water to the body of your vehicle when it’s very cold will quickly open a portal to a world of icy frustration and broken parts. Get things wrong, and you can experience ice buildup that will render your windows, wipers, fuel filler flap, doors, and even climate control system useless. In some cases, operating parts of your vehicle that are iced-up can even cause wear or damage. That is, unless you know a few top tips to follow in the all-important moments after a wintertime car-wash. Regular winter cleaning and rinses help fend off rust by removing corrosive salt and moisturetrapping dirt and sand. These tips relate to coin-operated car-washes with the useroperated wand, but some still apply if you’ll bring your salty chariot to your friendly gas-station scrape-and-wash, too.You just need to bring three things: a clean towel, some lock de-icer or WD40, and a full supply of winter-appropriate washer fluid in your ride’s reservoir. STEP 1: Crank the Heat. Before exiting your vehicle to wash it, crank the heat as high as it will go, and turn on the front and rear defrosters. This will come in handy, later as it can slow or stop water from freezing to your windows, weather seals, and more.

that could use the skill set of being a business owner but also my political experience and high level leadership. So when this came up it seemed like a good use of those two skill sets and it came at the right time,” he explained. “Cornwall has its own unique challenges. It’s a city that doesn’t know how good it is; it’s a cool city. When I meet young people here (I think) it’s just a matter of time before this place blossoms. They almost have to not be afraid to be good,” said Pietersma. “I was excited to get here and I have been inspired by the people I have met. It has been a great three weeks.” Go to www.cornwallseawaynews.com for the rest of this story PLUS additional SN coverage. STEP 2: Rinse, Don’t Scrub. Instead, focus on rinsing away salt and sand, blasting winter gunk out of the wheel wells, rinsing the vehicle undercarriage as best you can, and blasting any ice or snow out of your wheels. Using the sand-impregnated wash brush to hurriedly scrub your paint (as ice is forming on it) is a one-way ticket to scratching it.. Finally, blast every molecule of snow and ice out of the area where your wiper blades park, between the windshield and the hood. Your vehicle pulls air into the cabin from a vent in this area. If it gets blocked by ice or slush, your heat and defroster won’t work properly.

École primaire catholique française refuse l’admission d’un étudiant musulman NICK SEEBRUCH

CORNWALL, Ontario - Une mère de Cornwall est déçue après qu’une école primaire catholique française de Cornwall ait refusé l’inscription de son fils à JK en raison de sa religion. Anne Zaidi, son mari et leurs enfants sont musulmans et ont déménagé à Cornwall de Toronto. À leur arrivée dans la ville, elle a demandé sur les réseaux sociaux des recommandations scolaires et a reçu des critiques positives pour l’École élémentaire catholique Notre-Dame, une école du Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO). Son fils Zain était trop jeune pour JK à l’époque, mais elle a été encouragée par les critiques et la déclaration sur le site web du CSDCEO selon lesquelles elles étaient inclusives pour tous les horizons. Zaidi dit qu’on ne lui a jamais dit que son fils Zain ne pourrait pas aller à JK à Notre-Dame. «Quand il a commencé à la garderie il y a deux ans, j’ai regardé le site Web de l’école et j’ai confirmé qu’il acceptait les enfants de tous les horizons», lit un post écrit par Zaidi sur ses réseaux sociaux. «C’était bien car je suis originaire de Toronto et les écoles catholiques n’acceptent que des enfants catholiques en raison du nombre de catholiques dans la GTA. J’ai ensuite vérifié auprès de la garderie et ils ont également dit qu’ils avaient commencé à accepter des non-catholiques maintenant. Et les enfants de la garderie ont souvent une inscription prioritaire car ils sont déjà allés à l’école. » Cependant, le 20 janvier, elle a découvert que son fils ne serait pas autorisé à s’inscrire comme étudiant à Notre-Dame et la raison pour laquelle sa famille a été donnée par le directeur adjoint était parce que Zain et sa famille étaient musulmans. Zaidi a ensuite parlé avec l’enseignante à la garderie de son fils. « Son professeur a dit que le directeur est venu il y a deux semaines avec le formulaire d’inscription » a écrit Zaidi sur les réseaux sociaux. « Elle a également revérifié qu’ils acceptent des personnes de tous horizons et elle a d’abord dit oui. Mais ensuite, elle a dit que vous connaissez autre chose que les musulmans et les témoins de Jéhovah. Son professeur m’a dit que son cœur avait coulé parce qu’elle ne pouvait imaginer que Zain. Elle a dit que c’était

Enfilons nos p’tites laines pour réduire notre consommation d’énergie !

À l’école Rose des Vents, les élèves ont participé à la Journée de la p’tite laine en portant leur chandail chaud le jeudi 6 février. Le conseil a baissé la température de 2°C dans notre école pour réduire notre consommation d’énergie pendant la journée. Nous soulignons la Journée de la p’tite laine pour utiliser moins d’énergie et gaspiller moins de nos ressources naturelles (eau, vent, soleil, pétrole, charbon, gaz naturel). Lorsqu’on utilise beaucoup d’énergie cela peut avoir un impact négatif sur l’environnement, comme le réchauffement climatique. Le réchauffement climatique c’est lorsque la Terre se réchauffe à cause de la pollution. Cette journée nous permet d’aider l’environnement et de réfléchir sur le montant d’énergie que nous utilisons à tous les jours, à la maison et à l’école. De plus, lorsque nous serons adultes, nous allons mieux comprendre l’importance d’utiliser moins d’énergie à la maison pour réduire notre empreinte écologique. Ces petits gestes au quotidien peuvent aider à ralentir les changements climatiques. Lors de cette journée, quelques élèves de nos classes ont soulevé des questions et d’autres bonnes habitudes pour aider notre belle planète : Ryan de Haan se questionne : « Pourquoi on n’utilise pas une température moins élevée à chaque jour ? » Selon Trystan Lapointe : « Quand on baisse la

température, on économise plus d’argent. » Marcus Zhang ajoute : « Mais, est-ce qu’on économise beaucoup d’argent en baissant la température de juste 2°C ? » Taylor de Hann se demande : « Est-ce que la Journée de la p’tite laine est soulignée dans tous les pays ? » Tanner Dixon ajoute : « On peut aussi éteindre les lumières et le TBI lorsqu’on ne les utilise pas et garder les stores ouverts afin d’économiser plus d’énergie à l’école. » Article écrit par les élèves de la 4e année École Rose des Vents

tellement bouleversant de voir l’une des familles les plus méritantes et les plus enthousiastes se faire dire que leur fils ne pouvait pas y assister. » Zaidi a appelé le directeur adjoint de NotreDame pour faire pression sur son cas. «J’ai essayé de lui dire que nous n’avons aucun problème avec l’apprentissage de la religion catholique par Zain», déclare-t-elle. «Nous apprécions les traditions abrahamiques des catholiques et voulions que Zain apprenne dans un environnement qui inculque la foi en Dieu. Cependant, elle a dit que cela n’avait pas d’importance. J’ai dit que votre site Web dit que vous emmenez des gens de tous les horizons, à cela, elle a dit par tous les milieux que nous entendons tous les types de Christians. » En réponse aux questions soumises au conseil scolaire par Seaway News, le CSDCEO a répondu par la déclaration suivante. « D’emblée, permettez-moi de vous rassurer que les écoles du CSDCEO sont inclusives et accueillantes. Nos écoles accueillent les élèves qui sont admissibles à une éducation en langue française en vertu de l’article 23 de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés et de la Loi sur l’éducation de l’Ontario et de ses règlements d’application » lit la déclaration du CSDCEO, traduite du français par Seaway News. « En ce qui concerne l’élève qui n’est pas baptisé et par conséquent n’a pas de baptistaire, si le parent désire l’inscrire à une école élémentaire du CSDCEO, il doit au préalable remplir le formulaire ED-125 « Demande d’admission à une école élémentaire catholique ». Celui-ci est évalué en comité d’admission. Dans le présent cas, la demande n’a pas été approuvée. Tous les détails relatifs à la politique d’admission du CSDCEO sont consignés à la ligne de conduite 320 et le règlement administratif 320-R1, qui sont disponibles sur notre site Internet. » Selon le règlement référencé par le CSDCEO, le conseil accepterait les élèves issus de milieux non catholiques si leurs parents soutiennent les valeurs et les croyances des écoles catholiques, mais ils se réservent le droit de protéger le caractère catholique du CSDCEO. Le CSDCEO indique que la demande de Zain n’a en fait pas été remplie, tandis qu’Anne Zaidi déclare qu’elle n’a pas eu la possibilité de soumettre le formulaire de demande pour les non-catholiques pour son fils musulman.

JOKE OF THE WEEK A teacher asked her students to use the word “beans” in a sentence. “My father grows beans,” said one girl. “My mother cooks beans,” said a boy. A third student spoke up, “We are all human beans.” Congratulations to Detective Constable Darrell Blakely of the Cornwall Police Service who has been nominated for a police hero award. Seen on Facebook: Just a HUGE shout out to CCH. My son woke up at 3am with a croupy cough. My spouse and son arrived at 330am and by 350am they were triaged and in a room. Not only did the triage nurse ask all the right questions, she made my 3yr old feel comfortable and safe. Offering not only him a sticker, but his little baby dog one too. By 430am he had seen the doctor and he was getting meds. By 515am he was back in bed to try and sleep. Thank you, CCH!

Some Cornwall City Councillors were invited by the Nav Centre to try their newest dining experience, Stonehouse Lounge + Grill. (Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News). Ian Bentley, Chris Cram, and the rest of their team did a wonderful job with the opening of the new Stonehous Lounge + Grill at the Nav Centre. It was definitely an effective way to introduce the new and intimate dining experience to Cornwall.

Caller agrees with previous article on reducing number of councillors and getting back to the ward system. Would improve service in all areas of the city. I too had no response from councillors since none care about my area.

Congratulations to Ava teHorst who won Jim and Jean Campbell, who have been a gold on vault, bronze on bars, silver on beam, part of the Glengarry Highland Games since silver on floor recently with the Cornwall their beginning in 1948 have been announced Gymnastics Club competitive team. as this year’s guests of honour for the event.

North Stormont resident wins $100,000 with ENCORE

Congratulations to the whole Diversity Cornwall team for organizing a successful Drag Story time event. It is great to see this annual event about diversity and acceptance being celebrated in Cornwall. Andre Pommier must have been living the dream on Friday night. He was playing on the ice against alumni from his beloved Montreal Canadiens. Looked like he was having a great time. Mitch Gagne and the Cornwall Prowlers seem to be making a good go of it. Their are positioned for a promising run at their league’s (EOSHL) title. Jean Louis Martineau recently had a big night in the Knights of Columbus Bowling League in Cornwall. He led the M. John Sullivan team to a 3-0 win over Sunnyside Up Restaurant.

NORTH STORMONT, Ontario – Rodney Beckstead of North Stormont Twp, ON, matched six of seven ENCORE numbers of Jan. 28 to win a $100,000 prize. “At first, I thought I won $100,” shared Rodney, a self-employed landscaper and handyman, while at the OLG Prize Centre to pick up his cheque. “I was trembling. I’m so excited and happy!” The 50-year-old plans to invest his windfall into his business. “I will buy some new equipment and continue playing the lottery,” concluded Rodney. The winning ticket was purchased at Petro Canada on Brookdale Ave. in Cornwall.

Corey Turnbull of Smith Falls finished first in the 7.4 km snowshoe race at the Summerstown Trails this past weekend. Cornwall residents Christian Belair and Sebastian Warner were not too far behind however, coming in third and fourth respectively. Congratulations to Angelo Towndale on a very successful Children’s Treatment Centre dinner this year. The fundraiser was packed and brought in more than $80,000. Sorry I couldn’t be there.

South Glengarry considering increasing facility fees NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.com

LANCASTER, Ontario – South Glengarry Director of Recreation and Facilities Rick Ladouceur presented potential increases in rental fees for municipal facilities to South Glengarry Council during their meeting on Feb. 3. According to Ladouceur, the cost of turning on the lights of a facility like the Char-Lan Recreation Centre works out to about $210 an hour. Ladouceur pointed out that facility fees in South Glengarry have not been increased since 2015, and while he was not instructing council on what to do, he did feel it was his duty to present them with options.

According to a proposed scheduled increase presented by Ladouceur, prime time general ice time for the Char-Lan Recreation Centre would go up by $10 from $160 to $170 for the 2020-2021 year, then increasing by $5 every year until 2024-2025. For minor sports, ice prime time would go from $118 an hour to $125 for the 20202021 year and then again increase by increments of $5 until 2024-2025. Similar increases were suggested for the Char-Lan Recreation Centre event hall, the Martintown Community Centre and the Rozon Community Centre. The full proposed schedule of increases can be found in Monday night’s agenda. Members of Council chose to take time to

review the proposed increases rather than accept them that night. “I guess my personal opinion is we need to look at this stuff. I don’t think the public want an increase, but we will have to look at it,” said Councillor Martin Lang. Deputy Mayor Lyle Warden compared this issue to the water and sewer increases that Council has been tackling over the past year. As with facility fees, the water and sewer budget was not increased according to recommendations for several years. “It is a tough job providing a level of service, and asking users to pay a portion of it,” Warden said. “That being said, I thank you for bringing this to our attention. It is basically another water and sewer issue, if we don’t do

Let’s

something later we will have to. I will just need a little more time to sort through the information.” Councillor Stephanie Jaworski pointed out that even for residents who did not use these facilities, there was still a value to their communities. “There are a lot of residents who don’t use the arena, but they value it because they know it increases their property values,” she said. “I think most users understand that rates can’t stay the same forever. I think they also want a really clear rationale why rates are increasing.” Council will consider Ladouceur’s recommendations and a motion will likely be moved at a future council meeting.

The snow was flying at the start of the annual Summerstown Forest Dion Snowshoe Race. Submitted photo

SUMMERSTOWN, Ontario – Gilles Parisien, Race Director of the Summerstown Forest Dion Snowshoe Race, was pleased to see 42 hopefuls at the seventh annual competition on Saturday, Feb. 8. Temperatures hovered around -16 Celsius at the beginning of the races, and many runners switched to take part in the 4.4 km race versus the 7.5 km. Running conditions also provided a challenge to participants as the trails were soft from the 20-something cm of fresh snow that had fallen over the 36 hours prior. Runners were required to expend more energy as conditions were akin to running in sand. This year saw two participants from the U.S. who were en-route to Ottawa’s Winterlude, one of Beaumont, T.X. In the women’s 7.5 km race, Lisa Leskien from Cambridge reclaimed the title she had lost last year. Cornwall’s Caroline SamsonBélair finished in third place. In the women’s 4.4 km race, Ottawa’s Heather Lewis finished

first, with Melissa McGrath of Monkland placing second. “It’s so beautiful back there, it was worth the pain,” said McGrath. With the absence of local favourite Rob Lefebvre, who had won the previous three races, Corey Turnbull of Smith Falls took the men’s 7.5 km race title. According to a press release, Turnbull is a regular at the race and has claimed second place in recent years. “I love the rolling terrain, the wooded first section and then through the conifers. There’s a magic at Summerstown Forest that I don’t find in other forests,” said Turnbull. Turnbull also brought two 15-year-old runners of the club he coaches in Smith Falls with him, who respectivly placed first and second in the men’s 4.4 km race, well ahead of other competitors. The complete race results are available on the Dion Eastern Ontario Snowshoe Running Series website. Go to www.cornwallseawaynews.com for the rest of this story PLUS additional SN coverage.
