CORNWALL, Ontario – Joyce Miller and her husband Farrand were a pillar of Cornwall for many years and prominent members of the city’s Jewish community. Joyce passed away on Tuesday, Feb. 12, she was 86.

Making a splash at seventh annual Polar Dip Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

ALEXANDRIA, Ontario – Community members gathered excitedly in Alexandria on Sunday, Feb. 17 take part in the seventh annual Polar Dip. With temperatures hovering around negative 10 Celsius, 16 brave jumpers created a spectacle for a large crowd of attendees, leaping into a designated section of freezing water.

This was the first ever Polar Dip for friends Kyle Lalonde and Jon Newton. The two enjoyed themselves and tied in second place for best costume. Next year, they hope to entice more friends to join them.

Donations collected and pledge funds raised by the jumpers will go towards the Glengarry Sports Hall of Fame.

“It preserves the history of sports,” said Rodney Shephard, event founder and organizer.

“Glengarry county has a very rich sports origin.

We have a beautiful hall in Maxville and it costs to upkeep it.”

Shephard wanted to start something slightly unconventional in the community to raise funds.

Shephard said each year approximately $8,000 to $10,000 is raised; he is hoping to see similar numbers this year.

No charges against CCPS after suspect injured while in custody Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Ontario Special Investigations Unit (SIU), the independent agency that investigates incidents involving police officers in Ontario, have found no reasonable grounds to lay charges against the Cornwall Community Police Service (CCPS) or one of its officers after a suspect was injured while in their custody.

On April 21, 2018, CCPS officers were called to a domestic incident just south of Cornwall

Ctr. Rd. One 23-year-old male, identified as the ex-husband in the domestic incident, was arrested by CCPS after allegedly attending his ex’s residence and causing mischief to the property.

The male was handcuffed and placed in a CCPS vehicle. Upon arriving at the police station, the man, who is the Complainant in this case, refused to exit the vehicle. One witnessing officer, referred to in the SIU report as WO#1 physically removed the Complainant from the vehicle and moved him to the booking room in

the station.

In the booking room, the Complainant was uncuffed and WO#1 left the room. The suspect officer, referred to in the report as SO#1 attempted to question and book the Complainant, who refused to answer questions and became combative. According to the SIU report, the Complainant raised his arms, at which time SO#1 put the Complainant in a headlock and both fell to the floor. The SIU report states that it appears that SO#1 delivered one or more blows to the Complainant while

they were on the ground.

Hearing the commotion, WO#1 returned the booking room and helped SO#1 handcuff the Complainant and put him in a jail cell.

After being put in a cell, a CCTV camera caught footage of the Complainant banging his head against the wall.

The Complainant was taken to hospital for examination and it was found that he had a fracture on the left side of his nose, which was not treated as doctors believed it would heal without intervention.

Cornwall celebrates Black History Month CORNWALL, Ontario – Members of the African Caribbean International Association of Eastern Ontario (ACIAEO) are looking forward to community members attending their 2019 Black History Month celebration. Hosted at the

Centre Charles Emile-Claude, the free event will begin at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 23 and will be moderated by Mayor Bernadette Clement.

Guests are asked to bring traditional foods of their culture to supplement a multicultural potluck experience.

“The more people we can get the better,” said Josianne Ngo Maa. “(Residents) can come

enjoy good moments together, discover (Black History) for themselves and for our community.”

The event will feature speeches, discussion topics pertaining to black youth in Canada, traditional African dance and weeding as well as a fashion parade.

Clement Gwanyama, past president and

founder of ACIAEO, originally started the nonprofit association in our region after moving to Canada 13 years ago. Gwanyama said it took him quite some time to adjust to the way of life in Canada. He wanted to bridge the learning gap for incoming immigrants so they do not struggle to find their way, as well as preserve and celebrate culture.

Feline good at Kitten Yoga

Police ask for public assistance in Friday crash investigation CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Community Police Service (CCPS) is asking for the public’s assistance with their investigation into a single vehicle collision that occurred on Friday, Feb. 8, 2019.

The accident occurred just before noon and involved one black Volkswagen Jetta that collided with a traffic pole at the intersection of Brookdale Ave. and Ninth St. There were four individuals in the vehicle, three of whom were sent to hospital. The intersection was closed for four hours.

Police are asking if anyone has any information about the collision or if anyone may have witnessed the incident to contact Constable Patrick Depratto at 613-933-5000 ext. 2734.

Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

LANCASTER, Ontario – A sold out studio of supporters enjoyed yoga with the company of kittens on Saturday, Feb. 15.

Angie Parker, Founder and Director of Operations at Roy and Cher’s Rescue Farm, had seen different organizations hosting kitten yoga and thought it would be a fun activity to try in our region. A minimum donation of $20 was required to participate.

“I thought it would be a good idea to incorporate them into a yoga class…it kind of showcases them and their personalities,” said Parker.

Parker was hopeful that a few older kittens who were recently taken in would be adopted out through the event.

Two kittens found their furever homes following the yoga class.

With attendees of all ages, Parker was happy with the turnout and feedback she received. Considering the high demand, the organization may look to host another session within the coming months.

Sara Leger, Owner of Cherry Bomb Garage Gym, was happy to open up her space for the cause.

“Kittens, yoga – it’s fantastic! It’s just a lot of fun. It kind of goes along with what we do here which is having fun, getting strong and leaving feeling really cool,” said Leger.

Parker was thankful that Leger hosted the successful event and Lisa Sabatini instructed the yoga class.

“Modern day slaves” sent to work in Cornwall Danielle Rivar, in the foreground, practicing yoga with the help of Victor the cat (Shawna O’Neill/TC Media).

“When I do stretching at home, my cats are always around me. Its good to socialize our kittens this way too so they get used to people and noises, so when we adopt them out they aren’t as scared,” said Parker.

Roy and Chers Rescue Farm has been assisting animals for about five years now. Currently, the charity has a vet bill they are working to pay to continue spaying and neutering cats in Cornwall.

ONTARIO – The OPP announced on Monday, Feb. 11 that they freed 43 Mexican migrants who were being used as “modern day slaves” to work in the cleaning industry. The OPP say that they have been investigating a Barrie, ON, based cleaning company since Dec. 2018 for human trafficking and defrauding Mexican-born workers.

“The victims were transported by the traffickers to and from forced work locations in Collingwood, Innisfil, Oro-Medonte and Cornwall. The traffickers controlled wages and charged the victims fees for accommodations and transportation,” reads a statement from the OPP. The OPP, Barrie police department and CBSA executed warrants in Barrie and Wasaga Beach on Tuesday, Feb. 5. At that time, 43 workers, mostly men aged 20 to 46-years-old were brought to safety and placed in legal employment.

No charges have been laid thus far, but the investigation continues.

Hitting the trails on Family Day Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

INGLESIDE, Ontario – The chickadees who frequent the Upper Canada Bird Sanctuary were plump and full following a frenzy of families enjoying the trails this weekend.

“People come here so they can feed the birds and that’s a big hit. But I think the chickadees are kind of full, they’re hardly coming,” said Sam Schuler with a laugh.

Schuler, the Winter Program Coordinator for the sanctuary, was happy to see hundreds of active families take part in ski and snowshoe lessons on Monday, Feb. 18. She believes that this long weekend, as well as the March Break, always have a successful turnout.

“Today we have a Family Day special where a family of five can get ski rentals and a quick lesson for $20, so it’s a great deal,”

said Schuler. “We have a BBQ too. Families have just been out skiing and snowshoeing, and they’re coming back to a little something to eat and hot chocolate…it’s just a great way to celebrate Family Day.” Many attendees were grateful with the weather as children played in the snow and those who hit the trails were happy to see some wildlife scurrying about.

“We need to get kids off those devices and get them outside…enjoy nature and enjoy winter…it’s just another season where you can get to do things you might like,” encouraged Schuler.

Schuler is looking forward to the array of activities that will be offered for the whole family during March Break this year.

McDonell says Lisa MacLeod should stay Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Stormont-DundasSouth Glengarry MPP Jim McDonell agrees with his Party Leader Premier Doug Ford that MPP Lisa MacLeod should not resign as Minister of Children, Community and Social Services.

A public outcry emerged against MacLeod after it was revealed she allegedly strong armed a group of behavioural scientists to endorse government changes to the provincial autism program.

MacLeoad allegedly told the behavioural scientists to get on board, or “it will be a long four years”. On Twitter MacLeod apologized for any distress her comments may have caused.

“It’s been an emotional time,” she wrote.

“Throughout this process my focus has always been on the 23,000 children who were abandoned under the previous government’s plan.

This is an issue I take very personally

and I apologize if my comments made anyone feel threatened or uncomfortable.”

While not wanting to speak to MacLeod’s comments directly, McDonell did say that he did not think that MPP Jim McDonell MacLeod should step down.

“In general, we need our partners to work with us and if they are going to just pull up the shingle and leave that doesn’t help anyone,” he said in an interview with Seaway News.

“I think she cares about everyone, especially the 75 percent of children that are being left out,” said McDonell referring to the 23,000 children that are on the wait list for autism care programs.

The Ford government recently enacted changes to the autism funding program. Under

the government’s newly proposed system, families with a child with autism may receive funding from a Childhood Budget until their child turns 18. The amount distributed through the budget will depend on the length of time the child is in the program up to $140,000. The funding may also be subject to an annual maximum of $20,000 for children under five and $6,000 for children ages six to 18. Critics suggest that intensive therapy can cost parents up to $80,000 per year.

Some parents, like Cathy Varrette fear that there are new problems that the changes will create.

“What’s next? It can’t just end there,” said Varrette. “(The changes) only really helps a small number of people who are paying out of pocket…and it moves the waitlist over to private providers. They can say they cleared the (public) waitlist but there isn’t a lot of private providers…that’s why there is a waitlist in the first place.”

Program availability is another concern for Varrette.

“There’s not enough licensed professionals in the field,” said Varrette, referring to behaviour therapy in our province. “(Families) are waiting for a professional to be available. Giving the families money is great to pay out of pocket but it’s not going to help anyone on the waitlist… we need to incentivize the type of programming needed and get people working with autistic children; we need more providers before anything,” said Varrette.

McDonell counters that if the system leaves out 75 percent of Ontario children it does not work.

“We are trying to get rid of a huge issue that 75 percent are receiving no coverage,” he said.

“There is some frustration because our government is making changes, but that is what we were elected to do.”

Should we merge school boards?

Nick Seebruch

8 - Wednesday, February 20, 2019 - Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

News broke just before the long weekend that the Ford government is looking to merge certain regional school boards.

There have not been any specifics that have been announced yet, as the plan hasn’t been officially announced, it was leaked to the media.

I think this is an interesting idea that should at least be considered.

Cornwall and SD&G has four school boards serving the region. There’s the English public school board, English Catholic and their French counterparts.

I think that if reducing the number of school boards serving this area is to be considered, we should have a good picture of where we stand now.

For comparison sake, the largest school board in the province is the Toronto District School board with nearly 250,000 students in 582 schools.

As of now, each of the four school boards in our area range from being mid-sized to large, with the biggest being the English Public Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) with 78 schools spread out across 12,000 km. The French public board, CEPEO, has 43 schools, the English Catholic board CBSDEO has 42 schools and 13,000 students and the French Catholic board is the smallest with 28 schools and 10,000 students.

The next thing that should be looked at before any move is made to merge the boards would be the quality of education. The Fraser Institute releases an annual ranking of Ontario schools based on their standardized test scores.

For the year 2019, Char-Lan topped the UCDSB with it’s score, and overall, it was ranked 104 out of 740 schools included in the report. For the CDSBEO, their best school was Holy Trinity, which ranked 187.

Now, I think we should also consider what would be lost if school boards were merged or eliminated. If, for example, all four school boards were amalgamated, I do think something would be lost for our French community. I feel that there should always be a separate school board for native French speakers. Eastern Ontario has a sizeable French community, and since French is an official language at the federal level, they should be allowed go to school in their native language.

My feelings for merging Catholic and public schools are different however. I think that what Catholic schools, and public schools offer can be provided by one board, without any loss of curriculum. I have no problem with a school board offering religion courses for families who want to take them, and if there are enough students who want to be in a Catholic education stream, then perhaps that could be offered.

What parents would really lose by the amalgamation of the boards is choice. Two years ago, when the UCDSB was considering closing schools across their region, some parents protested and pulled their children out of the school board all together and moved them into CDSBEO schools.

This is the real thing that would be lost if school boards are merged.

Parents and students would have no other choice but to buy in to one school board whether they liked them or not and I am not convinced that this is worth the savings of a few administrator’s salaries.

Clash of Community Services It is now some years since the Cornwall Community Hospital’s administration failed to renew its license to retest drivers who had lost their driving privileges due to medical difficulties. No matter the way I twisted and turned I could not persuade the hospital to once more take on the responsibility for this driver retesting program. I was informed, by the hospital CEO, that the program would become the responsibility of a medical satellite facility.

While this was going on our local citizens, pursuing their desire to regain driving privileges, were forced to travel to another city for retesting on strange roads. What irony, that driving tests for those often surmounting incredible odds to regain a license were not available locally, yet the tests for all other would-be drivers were. So much for the empathy of the Cornwall hospital administrators.

Despairing of ever getting any kind of cooperation from those hospital administrators, I determined to go it alone and, if necessary, fight with the provincial government. True to my prediction a fight was necessary. After hours spent on endless telephone calls I was finally able to convince the bureaucrats of our need. The government approached DAC Medical Vision, a Functional Assessment Centre, to consider providing a retesting service in Cornwall.

DAC agreed and commenced their Cornwall program; since its inception many local drivers have successfully regained their driving

privileges. With my further assistance and the cooperation of the Riverdale Terrace Retirement Residence the program operates from that location in Cornwall.

Now, it seems, we have two programs in Cornwall, making a mockery of the entire situation. There truly are not enough candidates for two programs in the city and its environs. I would ask, where were the folk who have now come out of the woodwork with this second program when there was nothing in our area? Where were they when those seeking to regain their driving privileges were forced to go to Ottawa, Smiths Falls or Kingston?

Critically, however, this second program is incomplete for it is dealing strictly with cognitive problems. Unlike the DAC Medical Vision program it does not address visual problems. It does not, for example, adequately serve stroke survivors who most likely suffer visual field deficits as a result of the brain damage inflicted on them by a stroke. Lacking all the elements required for a complete program those running it should be up front with potential clients, explaining it is a program based just on occupational therapy requirements.

Only if a complete program is being offered can we say the people in our community are being fully served. DAC Medical Vision, an Ontario Government approved program with many decades of experience, is such a program.

Do you think the weather man is fake news?

Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@cornwallseawaynews.com

he said.

SPORTS STUFF Talk about egg on your face. A veteran Ottawa Citizen/Sun sports reporter had a half-page piece that assured Ottawa Redblack fans that Canadian Football League free agent quarterback Trevor Harris was a sure bet to sign a new contract with the team and his signature on a Ottawa contract was imminent. The story was just hours old when Harris signed a new contract.

Problem was, it was with the Edmonton Eskimos. Ouch! .. Anaheim Ducks’ general manager Bob Murray, captain of the 1972 Cornwall Royals’ Memorial Cup squad, fired head coach Randy Carlyle and took over the bench duties for the rest of the season. It was a bold leap for the veteran GM. He has never coached hockey at any level.

HERE AND THERE You know it is a (really) slow news days when a metropolitan daily newspaper runs a story that claims Michael Jackson’s chimp, Bubbles, tried to commit suicide after the pop star was charged with molesting two kids.

Does anybody give a rat’s bottom? What, did Bubbles become depressed after reading about it? ... ... Just a thought re: Quebec tourists caught during rioting in Haiti: Why would anybody want to take a winter vacation to Haiti? Hey, honey, next year let’s try Afghanistan.

THIS WEEK IN 1932 - Seven firefighters were injured while trying to contain a fire in downtown Alexandria. The fire destroyed Marleau’s Garage, the Markson warehouse, Dr. Markson’s office, A. Chenier Hardware Store and Warehouse, J. Larocque ice cream parlour/restaurant and the E. J. Dever Store. Dozens of

people who lived above the buildings were left homeless. The town brigade was assisted by the Cornwall fire brigade. A call was put out for every able-bodied man in town to help fight the fire which threatened the entire downtown. ... Cornwall (Central) Public School held the official opening of an addition that included eight classrooms, a principal’s office, washrooms and a school nurse’s office. ... In an editorial, The Standard said it was time for an artificial ice plant at the Victoria Arena.

The Alex McDonald Estate was willing to help pay for the equipment. Several few months later (Aug. 7, 1933) the worst fire in the city’s history destroyed the arena. ...

A Salvation Army report said that since Dec. 1 it had served 959 meals to jobless men passing through the city looking for work. Each was given supper and breakfast before moving on. ... Orval Crites announced that he had taken over Mrs. Barnhart’s general store at 439 Amelia St. TRIVIA ANSWER In the 1968 federal election, Stormont MP Lucien Lamoureaux, who was also Speaker of the House of Commons, decided to discard his ties to the Liberal party and run as an Independent. The Liberals and Conservatives agreed not to oppose him.

However, the incumbent didn’t get a free ride. The NDP nominated a candidate to run against him.

TRIVIA On a July weekend in 1971, thousands of people lined the banks of Cornwall Canal for this event.

A Toronto newspaper poll on the weekend asked readers if they trusted weather forecasts?

Only 18% said yes. Or, on the flip side, 82% of us don’t trust/believe what the weather guy/gal on television is telling us.

Blame it on climate change and schizophrenic weather patterns if you want but weather forecasting these days too often has trouble getting it right. Like, it is going to rain tomorrow? No, but check back in 15 minutes.

As the poll showed, television weather guys and gals can’t be trusted to deliver the straight goods on forecasts. Of course, most are just talking heads employed as messengers who follow the script.

It wasn’t always this way.

For 30 years - 1952-1982 - Percy Saltzman, a skilled meteorologist, was the weather forecasting face of English CBC Television. (In Quebec it was Phillippe Robert).

Each evening he brought the weather to life with a piece of chalk and a chalkboard.

No smiley face, just the bare facts.

Someone said that the guy who had to erase the chalkboard after the show deserved a raise.

The Excited States of America may have had the most trusted television news anchor in the universe, Walter Cronkite, but Canada had the most trusted weather prognosticator: Winnipeg-born Saltzman.

If Percy Saltzman said it, you believed

it. Armed with a piece of chalk, he laid out the forecast to a national audience. None of this seven-day-shot-in-the-dark or percentage stuff. He told us what we wanted to know: Was it going to rain the next day or the day after? And he nailed it with his signature flip of the chalk. Just as he did with his forecasts, he never missed. ********** It was once said that rabid Philadelphia sports fans were the kind of people who would show up at a funeral and heckled the pallbearers.

But an uglier side emerged during a National Lacrosse League game last month when a member of the visiting Georgia Swarm became the target of racist taunts from not only some of the fans but an insensitive public address announcer.

Lyle Thompson, one of the best boxla players in North America, whose father is from Akwesasne, wears his hair in a long braid that runs down his back. For Thompson, it is part of his Native heritage.

During the game the announcer could be heard “Let’s snip the ponytail” every time Thompson touched the ball.

Perhaps encouraged by the brain dead PA bozo, several fans started chanting “scalp him.”

A quick apology was issued by the home team. It said the public address announcer had been fired.

Thompson’s brother, Jeremy, who plays for Saskatchewan Rush, called the incident “disgusting” and said more education and diversity training is needed to end racism in sports.

“It’s something that our people have been going through for the last 500 years,”

DID YOU KNOW??

Your Child’s dental Care

Your dentist may want to take X-rays. X-rays show decay between the teeth. They will also show if teeth are coming in the way they should. Your child’s dentist may also talk to you about fluoride.

The dentist says my child needs a filling in a baby tooth. Since the tooth is going to fall out, why bother?

Some primary (or baby) teeth will be in your child’s mouth until age 12. the tooth that needs to be fixed may be one of those.

Broken teeth or teeth that are infected can hurt your child’s health and the way your child feels about him or herself. to do a filling, the dentist removes the decay and “fills” the hole with metal, plastic or other material. a filling can be a simpler way to fix a problem that could be painful and cost more later because it stops decay from spreading deeper into the tooth and nerve. if a filling is not done and decay spreads, the tooth may need to be removed. if this happens, your child may need a space maintainer to hold space for the permanent tooth. when a baby (or primary) tooth is lost prematurely, the teeth on either side may move into the space. They can block the permanent tooth from coming in.

the Canadian Dental association recommends the assessment of infants, by a dentist, within 6 months of the eruption of the first tooth or by one year of age. the goal is to have your child visit the dentist before there is a problem with his or her teeth. in most cases, a dental exam every six months will let your child’s dentist catch small problems early.

Here are 3 reasons to take your child for dental exams: • You can find out if the cleaning you do at home is working.

• Your dentist can find problems right away and fix them.

• Your child can learn that going to the dentist helps prevent problems and allows them to be comfortable with the environment.

Saisie de 1,9 tonne métrique de tabac de contrebande CORNWALL, Ontario - Dans la soirée du 4 février 2019, des membres du Groupe de travail régional de Cornwall (GTRC) qui effectuaient une opération axée sur l’intégrité des frontières le long de la rive nord du fleuve Saint-Laurent ont observé un convoi de trois motoneiges qui se déplaçaient feux éteints et s’approchaient du secteur est de la ville de Cornwall. Les membres du GTRC ont observé une camionnette suspecte de couleur foncée munie d’un capot de caisse qui pénétrait dans le stationnement d’un immeuble de la Société d’aide à l’enfance situé sur Boundary Road. Les membres du GTRC ont perturbé l’activité de contrebande qui se déroulait derrière l’immeuble et ont arrêté de façon sécuritaire Jade Edward Martin (24 ans), d’Akwesasne. Les occupants de deux motoneiges stationnées derrière l’immeuble ont fui la scène. Les motoneiges ont été observées pour la dernière fois se déplaçant vers le sud en direction de l’île Cornwall. Les agents ont saisi sur les lieux une motoneige SkiDoo Renegade 1200 2010 et le traîneau qui y était attaché, ainsi qu’une camionnette Chevrolet Silverado 2010 de couleur noire qui contenait 42 sacs de tabac fin non estampillé d’un poids de 562,81 kg. Jade Edward Martin

comparaîtra à la cour de Cornwall le 26 mars 2019. Elle fait face à des accusations en vertu de la Loi de 2001 sur l’accise.

Tôt en début de journée, le 6 février 2019, des membres du GTRC qui effectuaient une opération axée sur l’intégrité des frontières le long de la rive nord du fleuve Saint-Laurent à la hauteur de South Glengarry ont observé une camionnette blanche munie d’un capot de caisse correspondant à la description fournie lors de différentes activités de contrebande récentes. Le véhicule a été intercepté. Une fouille a permis de déterminer qu’il était rempli au maximum de sa capacité de tabac fin non estampillé. Le conducteur, Jeremiah Ingram (59 ans) et le passager, Grayson McDonald (19 ans), tous deux résidents de Cornwall, ont été arrêtés sur place sans incident. Les agents ont saisi une camionnette Chevrolet Silverado 2017 blanche et 38 sacs de tabac fin non estampillé d’un poids de 653,3 kg. Jeremiah Ingram et Grayson McDonald comparaîtront à la cour de Cornwall le 26 mars 2019. Les deux hommes font face à des accusations en vertu de la Loi de 2001 sur l’accise.

Peu de temps après, les membres du GTRC ont observé une seconde camionnette suspecte dans la région de Summerstown. Les agents ont alors tenté d’effectuer un contrôle

CORNWALL, Ontario – Four teams geared up for a snowy game of slo-pitch on Saturday, Feb. 15 in effort to raise funds and awareness for individuals with autism.

“It’s going well. There’s four teams and there’s a lot of snow so it’s tough trudging out there but we are having a ball,” said Ritch Holland, event organizer with Slo-Pitch for Autism.

In preparation of the first winter Slo-Pitch for Autism tournament held in our city, members of three teams spent five to six hours snow blowing and preparing the field for play on Feb. 14, contending their efforts were all for a good cause.

“We run our tournaments all year long

throughout the province; we are even out west and out east now. At the end of the year, the profit we have left in the business goes to families with autism,” explained Holland.

To date, Slo-Pitch for Autism has raised over $125,000 for families who may pay out of pocket for private, necessary services.

Recent provincial funding changes for children with autism have been highly debated by parents and critics. MPP Jim McDonell commended the changes, while local parents raised concerns in regards to the efficiency of the proposed changes.

“Funding is important but awareness is key,” said Holland.

NORTHFIELD, Vt – Brett Ouderkirk, 21, of Monkland has proven successful in maintaining strong academics and athletics at Norwich University in Vermont.

The aspiring young local, who studies Education, made it on the Dean’s List for academic success this past semester. Ouderkirk is proud of his accomplishments thus far and is happy to be studying what he is passionate about.

From the age of three, Ouderkirk has known hockey as a second nature. Throughout his minor league experience, he called the Seaway Valley Rapids home before moving to Toronto to play in the Ontario Junior Hockey League with the Markham Royals. He was later offered a scholarship to Norwich University to play with the Norwich Cadets. Ouderkirk’s ultimate goal is to take up his favourite activity full-time.

“I would love to play professionally, maybe overseas,” said Ouderkirk. In high school, Ouderkirk knew that he wanted to play at a college level and strived to make his dream a reality.

With his team ranked fourth in the country, Ouderkirk is feeling optimistic. In 23 games played, he has scored 13 goals and 11 assists. He was also voted one of five all-rookie players to be named to the all star team at the New England Hockey Conference.

“I’m really excited,” said Ouderkirk, reflecting on his opportunity. “I’m focused and this is definitely what I wanted to do.”

Ouderkirk feels that he has learned rewarding life lessons over the last few years and hopes to continue with his achievements. He is grateful for the support of his parents Christine and Tim, and his sister Brett Ouderkirk Karleigh.

“They’re the best, they’re always cheering me on,” he said. He is always happy to see his family in the bleachers encouraging his dream.

Family fun at Countryside Adventures Shawna O’Neill

shawna.oneill@tc.tc

NORTH STORMONT, Ontario – For its second year, Countryside Adventures is aiming to provide guests with an ultimate authentic, outdoor Canadian experience.

Owner Nicolas Seguin said that the location has been extremely busy this season, especially on holidays.

“There’s stuff to do for the whole family.

People love it. People sometimes stay the whole day. It depends what you want to do and maybe how the kids behave,” he said with a chuckle.

The outdoor experience offers a 3 km skating trail, a 3km snowshoeing or cross country skiing trail, a small tobogganing hill and petting zoo, a bonfire to sit by and a food stand with classic

Canadian snacks like taffy and moose ears.

Seguin said that many people have told him they opt to stay local now and not venture to any skating destination in our nation’s capital. This weekend guests from across Ontario and Quebec made the journey to our region to have fun on the trails.

Flooding the ice trails is somewhat of a perfect science according to Seguin, but with the extreme cold temperatures we experienced last month, keeping the ice up to a good standard has been more attainable this season compared to last.

“We’re having a lot of fun,” said Olivia HowesDuval who was skating with her sister Payton and friend Carly Sheard. All their first time skating at Countryside Adventures, the trio were already looking forward to going back.
