OPG butterfly garden signifies new ventures Shawna O’Neill

soneill@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – A new butterfly and herb garden has blossomed outside of the OPG’s Saunders Hydro Dam Visitor Centre, designed with a number of rare plants that hold significance in Mohawk culture.

“The garden, which features native wildflowers like purple coneflower and milkweed, will help improve biodiversity in the area by attracting pollinating insects and birds,” read an OPG press release. “The garden will also educate visitors on the uses and history of the traditional

herbs planted in the garden.”

Many of the species featured in the garden traditionally thrived in the St. Lawrence River region but have been reduced over time. The reintroduction of the plants will strive to benefit local habitat and educate the public on their various benefits.

Unveiled on Thursday, Aug. 22 among OPG and MCA community partners, the project marks the beginning phase in a long-term, sustainable landscape plan for the centre. It also signifies a new joint venture between Iroquois Consulting Group, an Akwesasne-owned business, and M. Sullivan & Son Limited.

Helping clean our waters Nick Seebruch

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Brothers Nick and Joshua Baird have had a fun and busy summer in the water of the St. Lawrence River just off of their grandfather Claude Lalande’s home.

Avid swimmers since a young age, the brothers, 13 and 10-years-old respectively, have put their skills to good use and have helped clean up their part of the St. Lawrence River.

With their trusty goggles and metal detectors Nick and Josh were able to pull large amounts of metal and glass bottles out of the river and onto the shore. They collected all of the items they currently have over the course of

two weekends.

“We wanted to clean the river and help the fish,” said Nick.

Some of he most unique and unusual items that they were able to retrieve included a vintage Coca-Cola sign, a sink, a safe door and an Ontario license plate from 1963.

“They found the safe door and now they want to find the rest of it to see what was inside,” said their grandfather Claude.

Their mother, Christianne Lalande said she was very proud of her boys’ passion for cleaning up the environment.

“It is exciting to see how passionate they are for it,” she said. “You can tell by the look in their eyes that they’re having fun.”

Sultan Jessa, former Citizen of the Year passes away Nick Seebruch nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Seaway News was saddened to learn that on Thursday, Aug. 22 our longtime columnist, friend and former Cornwall Citizen of the Year Sultan Jessa had passed away, he was 77.

Born in Tanzania, Sultan was a journalist for many years covering events going back to the 1960s. Since 2007, Sultan has been sharing his thoughts with the community of Cornwall through his column in Seaway News.

His career brought him in contact with African presidents, German Chancellors and movie stars, but he was also a tour-de-force when it came to the non-profit sphere as well.

After moving to Cornwall and continuing his career in journalism, Sultan devoted much of his time to supporting causes in the community including the Children’s Treatment Centre, Big Brothers/ Big Sisters and the Cornwall Multicultural Council.

Claude McIntosh hired Sultan in the 1970s when he applied to work at the Standard Freeholder.

“I remember that day, he had just arrived from Tanzania and had been in Cornwall for about a week,” McIntosh said. “He was a very compassionate guy, just a tremendous person to work with. In this business, you can make enemies, but he never made any enemies. He really cared for this city.”

Sultan threw his hat into the ring of politics,

running for Mayor unsuccessfully on one occasion.

In 1979, Sultan was honoured as Cornwall’s Citizen of the Year.

In 2005 he was invested into the Order of Canada and in 2010 he was named as one of the Canada’s Top 25 Immigrants by the Canadian Immigrant.

In the last years of his life, Sultan moved to Pierrefonds, QC and spent time travelling with his wife Rosa.

“When I first met Sultan Jessa in 1978, he was a gentleman and a great reporter and has been for all of these years,” said Seaway News General Manager Rick Shaver.

Sultan leaves behind his wife Rosalia, two children, as well as grandchildren.

LONG SAULT, Ontario – The first Walk, Run, Play fundraiser in support of the Canadian Cancer Society took place on Saturday, Aug. 24 in Long Sault.

The event was organized by South Stormont Deputy Mayor Dave Smith along with a team of volunteers.

Guests to the event were invited to participate in a run or walk in support of the Canadian Cancer Society or to play some games like softball, and volleyball.

Smith wanted to hold an event like this because he himself has been touched by cancer.

“A year ago, I was given three weeks to live, but here I am,” he said.

Smith said that there was also an evening of fun and entertainment planned with tribute musical acts such as Johnny Cash, Elvis and Tom Jones along with a dinner.

There was also a hot dog eating contest in the evening, which Smith said he felt was a first in Eastern Ontario and an ice cream eating contest for the kids.

Smith said that he had hoped to raise between $2,000 and $3,000 through the fundraiser, but that they had already surpassed that mark by Saturday afternoon.

Smith paid for the use of the park and the chairs himself and said that he hoped that in a couple of years that this would become a regular featured event in Long Sault.

CORNWALL & SDG, Ontario - The last few days of August are bittersweet for many with the end of summer approaching, and spicy, savoury for others as they take part in the final days of Taste Tour Burger Edition 2019, until August 31!

Six restaurants across the region have put their best patties forward, creating unique and artistic burgers, all competing for the judge’s and public’s votes to be crowned winner of this year’s delicious competition, sponsored by Cornwall Tourism.

Taste the Seaway has noticed taste buds from across the region taking part in this year’s friendly food adventure, sharing their thoughts and photos along the way.

“Just like the burger is called ‘Pizza Burger’, my first bite I can taste the pepperoni and the beef just melts in your mouth. As for the toppings, the green peppers, melted mozzarella, pickled onions were very tasty...by the way, I was asked if I wanted ketchup and mustard and I said no way,” said Bill Makinson of YourTV, raving about Truffle’s Burger Bar take on a Pizza Burger.

“The sauce is really good,” said Amanda Lascelle, local social media influencer and blogger, as she took a bite into Seguin Patate’s Spicy Celebrity burger. “I feel like it’s a good overall burger, it’s easy to eat. It has a lot of good flavours to it like bacon, tomato.” Lascelle’s eldest son Sam, who wrote reviews for the family during Taste

Tour’s Poutine Edition, said he hopes to try more nacho flavours within the Taste Tours, reminiscent of Eight Zero Zero’s Nacho-normal Burger, stuffed with refried beans, spicy cream cheese and salsa!

“It was flavourful and juicy with the pulled pork and you could taste the smoky cheese and bacon,” said Amely Coloumbe of Ottawa about Lancaster’s The Smoke Stack Burger. Coloumbe also enjoyed the kick of the chipotle mayo and is hoping to have a similar sizzling experience with the Nav Centre’s Cowboy burger, which utilizes a special, secret blend of spices, roadhouse BBQ sauce, monterey jack cheese, house baked beans, jalapenos, buttermilk fried onions and more.

“The burger looks like you standard, alldressed burger: Beef, cheese, onion rings, wait…I lied, not standard at all. Let’s back up; home pressed beef patty, fresh fried curd, the best onion rings, homemade pepper jelly (great touch), pickle mix on top with fresh toppings. Seriously a great burger…a great addition to burger week!” said Nick MacNaughton, local food critic, about Chef in a Bun’s Meltdown burger.

Show us your tasty burger dishes before (or while) you devour them on Facebook and Instagram, tagging @Tastetheseaway and using the hashtag #Tastetour. For a full line-up of participants and more information, visit cornwallseawaynews.com.

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall City Council passed a motion at a special meeting on Monday, Aug. 26 to name Cornwall Regional Airport as an important public service infrastructure.

The discussion took place prior to a strategic planning session.

The motion was made by Councillor Eric Bergeron, who sits on the Airport Commission, the service’s governing body.

He cited a 2017 report made for the City by the Grant-Thronton accounting firm that called on the City to name the airport as an essential service.

Bergeron stated his dissatisfaction with the status quo at the Airport and made the motion to open the door to reform.

“I’ve been sitting on the commission for a little while, and something has to change,” Bergeron said. “I think we have governance issue.

We own 50 per cent of the airport, but contribute 85 per cent of the cost. I would want to see that whatever percentage you own is your percentage of your vote.”

Cornwall owns the airport in partnership with the Township of South Glengarry. Cornwall CAO Maureen Adams explained that the airport has an annual budget of between $100,000-$120,000 and that in the past year, Cornwall paid $85,000 of that budget with South Glengarry paying roughly $10,000.

Councillor Dean Hollingsworth, who also sits on the Airport Commission, said that the future

of Cornwall’s involvement with the airport boiled down to a simple question.

“For me, it’s very, the whole deal is somewhat messy. It doesn’t really satisfy the new reality of financing,” he said. “It is pretty difficult for administration to discuss a budget for the airport, when we as a council have not decided if we want to be in the airport business or not.”

There was skepticism from some councillors about the benefits of the airport.

“The airport has had about 30 years of potential and it hasn’t paid off,” said Councillor Claude McIntosh.

“Now it is just a recreational airport and I don’t think we should be supporting that,” Councillor Elaine MacDonald said, emphasizing her desire to see a fair deal.

Councillor Justin Towndale told Council that he believed that there was potential to renegotiate with South Glengarry.

“There is an indication from some members of the commission from South Glengarry that they would be open to discussing paying more,” he said.

As it stands now, the Township of South Glengarry does collect property tax from the airport, a benefit that Cornwall does not receive.

Cornwall Council was hesitant to name the airport an essential service, instead favouring naming it as “important”.

“I think it would be a slap in the face of the paramedics because we don’t even call them an essential service, and they should be,” said Councillor Carilyne Hébert.

REMINDER! Don’t miss out on your chance to try 6 special burgers created just for

on now until Saturday, August 31st.

The Cornwall Regional Airport (Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News).

There was also concern around calling the airport a public service, and whether or not the motion would commit the City to further responsibility with the airport.

Mayor Bernadette Clement said that she also wanted to see the project move forward.

“I too am uncomfortable with the language of the motion, but I do recognize that it will not commit us to further issues,” she said. “I’m going to vote to at least keep the conversation going at this point.”

The motion to name the Cornwall Regional Airport as an important service passed 8-3 with Councillors Glenn Grant, Maurice Dupelle and Carilyne Hébert voting against.

Now administration will return to council with proposals for the future budget of the airport and its governance.

Education, housing, a focus for Glengarry at AMO Nick Seebruch nseebruch@seawaynews.media

OTTAWA, Ontario – Representatives from municipalities across Ontario were wrapping up their stay on Wednesday, Aug. 21 at the annual Association of Municipalities Ontario (AMO) Conference.

South Glengarry Councillor Stephanie Jaworski was invited by North Glengarry Mayor Jamie MacDonald to be a part of a delegation to the Minister of Education at the conference.

Jaworski said that in their first meeting, which was with Education Minister Stephen Lecce, brought up concerns around rural education.

Key concerns include keeping busing to a minimum, class size and co-operation between co-terminus boards, such as the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) and its Catholic counterpart the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO).

South Glengarry Mayor Frank Prevost had a delegation representing the Township to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, which is headed up by MPP Steve Clark. Prevost explained that his delegations primary concerns were around the municipal building code.

Things that Prevost hoped would be removed from the building code include the current mandatory requirement that new homes have charging ports for electric cars.

Cornwall Triathlon

Allen had the help of an army of 200 volunteers, including 60 who helped maintain the closed raceway for the bikers and runners along Montreal Rd. “The volunteers do an amazing job,” said Maureen Mahoney of Ottawa who took first

place in the women’s Olympic Triathlon.

Daniel Clarke of Toronto took first place in the men’s Olympic Triathlon and said that he was very impressed with the event.

“It is a really great race, for a local race, it is one of the best,” he said. “I love this bike course. With

the closed roads it is great.”

Clarke went on to explain that the run was the most difficult part, and that the difference between himself and second place Phil Reynolds was a matter of seconds.

“Phil caught me at 4 km. At 6 km I decided I

was going to go early and I only finished seconds in front of him,” he said.

Saturday was the kids race day. Allen said that he hoped to raise between $15,000 and $25,000 for the Boys and Girls Club this year.

facebook COMMENTS

Christopher Leclair I disagree. We have one of the laziest councillors. They are always asking for help from the community and expect for more volunteers. They only have to have so many meetings a month. Cornwall doesn’t have the money to give and they will raise the taxes to pay their self more.

Jason McNamara Christopher Leclair they also must sit on boards and go to events and keep up on a ton of reading to stay informed for said boards. Well, they are supposed to anyhow

themselves at that Monday meeting.

Currently they make a little over $16,000.

This new raise will bring them up to $22,000 by 2022, which is the current provincial average.

Roger Desjardins Christopher Leclair I guess we will see you running for next election.

Ryan MacKay I agree that they deserve a raise. The amount of work they perform is more than people give them credit for. Also, when you think of the negativity and BS they put up with from the public, our elected officials deserve proper compensation. It’s easy to talk big about anything in comment threads, it’s another to step up and put yourself before the public by putting your name on the ballot.

The most important pillar Nick Seebruch nseebruch@seawaynews.media

On Monday night, Cornwall City Council met to discuss their strategic plan for 2019-2022.

In the draft of the plan, the City identifies five strategic priorities for the next three years, waterfront development, skilled workforce, housing opportunities, economic development and environmental sustainability.

I think these are all worthy focuses for the City to address and make progress on over the next three years, but the last one I feel, is the most urgent.

The other four categories will go a long way to help grow our municipal economy, but neglecting the last one could do a lot to hurt it.

Municipalities are the ones that will be the most economically impacted by climate change. We have already seen examples of this in recent years with sever spring time flooding in Ottawa, Montreal, and their surrounding townships like Clarence-Rockland.

Some of the proposed initiatives that Cornwall is looking at in the environmental stability department include banning plastic bags, introducing water meters and forming an Environment and Climate Change Committee.

More can be done. The issue of climate change and environmental sustainability should be the top priority in the strategic plan as it affects every other strategic goal in this draft.

When looking at developing more housing opportunities in Cornwall for example, the municipality should consider how these homes can be more sustainable and efficient.

New homes in the city should have water meters to encourage less waste of water, they should also be properly winterized as to not waste winter heating. Finally, my most ambitious suggestion would be homes with some

sort of sustainable or re-useable energy source.

Another pillar of the strategic plan is Economic Development, an initiative under that pillar is to reduce the number of vacant commercial spaces in the city. Rather than leaving these as empty spaces, until they are sold, the city can use them as places to promote sustainability. Why not add solar panels on vacant properties or on roofs to reduce electricity costs for the city? Or add community gardens dedicated to supporting local food banks?

The same goes for brownfields. There are properties within the City of Cornwall where there has been historical land contamination.

The municipality maintains a fund that developers can use to help them offset the cost of cleaning up these lands for residential development, however, until these lands are sold, why not use them to build renewable sources of energy. Solar panels don’t need to be built on clean land, so if there are brownfields in the city that are difficult to sell, then they should be made to be useful in someway.

Using them to develop renewable resources might even be a way to sustain the brownfields fund while not relying on taxpayer support.

Climate change poses real challenges for municipalities, but also real opportunities for those cities who are proactive and progressive. Cornwall should be a leader in this arena.

When developing this strategic pillar and incorporating it into the upcoming three year plan, councillors should be asking themselves how Cornwall can become a leader in the province and in the country when it comes to green initiatives.

What do you think readers?

Is the environment a priority for you?

OPINION

Q&A: Why abstain?

Nick Seebruch nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – At a recent vote to increase their pay, Cornwall Councillors voted eight in favour, two opposed, and one abstention.

Abstentions are a rare occurrence on Council. There were only two in the last four year term and only one this term so far. That one was Councillor Justin Towndale.

The Ontario Municipal Act and the City of Cornwall’s own by-laws view abstentions as a “no” vote, so, is an abstention a “no” in all but name, or is there an important difference.

We had a Q&A with Councillor Towndale to ask him why he chose to abstain instead of falling on either side of the fence.

Q: Why did you vote to abstain?

During the meeting, I outlined my argument prior to voting. Back in 2014, I campaigned against the raise passed by the previous Council. In 2015, when we voted to scrap the raise, we were provided with the a report written by the consultant, which I felt was flawed as it claimed that we deserved more pay because we represented residents of South Glengarry and South Stormont, which isn’t the case. Last term, we created a committee to look into Council compensation and accepted applications from residents. The committee fell apart when one of the members decided to run for Council themselves and, as a result, did not finish its work. As such, we didn’t have the analysis that we were looking for. I do acknowledge that Council was underpaid before the raise. If you were to sum up all the hours that we work, factoring in Council meetings, committee meetings, events in the community, conferences, preparation and reading for all the meetings, meeting with constituents, phone calls, emails, etc.,

the current honourarium works out to $2-$5/hr depending. Despite this, I didn’t run for Council looking for a raise. Early on I had put forward a motion to explore the idea of returning to wards in the City of Cornwall. This motion encompasses a greater discussion on the size of Council, and as a result, I believe the salary of Council. As such, I do not believe that we were ready to vote on the item at this time.

One of my colleagues said that it was a privilege to be able to vote on one’s own salary.

I think it’s a curse. Upon taking into account all of these factors, I decided to abstain. I could have voted ‘no’, but an abstention is a refusal to vote. I wanted to make a point in this case.

Q: What would you say to someone who feels you were elected to make a decision on any matter?

I can’t find it now, but previously I received an email from a resident who applauded me the last time I abstained saying that he would rather a representative who took the time to make an informed decision and voted with his conscious than one who did not. I was elected to represent the residents of the City of Cornwall in a responsible manner, and to try to make the best decision possible with all the available information. I’ve received a few similar comments time around as well. The option to abstain is one that is open to all elected representatives, and while it should not be overused, it should be used when the respective representative feels that it is appropriate. To limit my ability to vote, or not, would make me ineffective as a representative.

Q: Now that you’ve had more time to think on the topic, would you change your vote?

No. In addition, I didn’t fully agree with

Justin Towndale

Councillor MacDonald’s motion. While the motion does bring us on par with our comparables, and the rest of Ontario, The major issue was moreso the removal of the tax free portion of a Councillor’s salary, which essentially increased the income tax on Councillor salaries by 30%. One of the solutions proposed for this was to simply fold our expense account, approximately $1200, into our salary. It would not cover the full loss, but it would make up for the majority of it. I could have supported this motion, but it was not tabled.

Q: Have you ever abstained from a vote before?

Yes, once in 2015 during a budget meeting. At the time, the Seaway News wrote an editorial about it, and I provided a response.

I’d like to point out again, that I am not the first person around this table who has abstained, and I likely won’t be the last.

Q: Will you accept the pay increase? Or

will you donate that amount back to the City as your colleague Claude McIntosh suggested?

The pay increase takes effect regardless now as it has passed Council. So by default, I “accept” it. I tend to donate frequently to local charities (another option raised by Councillor McIntosh) and will continue to do so. The raise enables me to donate more, as I had scaled back a bit. I did cancel a large annual donation to a local charity and will now look at starting that up again.

Further, in the past, when I have been away for military training, I have waived my honourarium during these periods as I wasn’t able to be effective as a Councillor. I did so in 2016 and 2018 respectively. So if you were to pull the numbers for those years, you’ll find that I made less than my colleagues. I plan to do the same again in 2020, and onward as required. So I think its clear that I’m not here solely for the money.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor, As someone who frequently travels Highway Two I feel compelled to pay tribute to The Laframboise Group for the road side transformation of an ugly building into something quite

attractive. It is pleasing to see a business committted to our locale in such a positive manner. It is most unfortunate the City of Cornwall does not have the same desire to appear in a good light.

LE MERCREDI 28 août 2019 | VOL. 9, NUMERO 21 | WWW.CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

Une histoire à raconter CORNWALL, Ontario - J’ai une histoire à vous raconter. Cette histoire n’a rien à voir avec l’auteur de ce récit, toutefois, je l’ai connu. Je suis donc dans l’obligation d’utiliser ses mains et sa mémoire pour jeter sur papier mon vécu.

Comme vous le devinez, je ne suis plus de ce monde depuis 2016. J’aimerais tout de même vous donner un aperçu de ma vie, une vie pleine et heureuse que j’ai passée entièrement sur la rue Anthony à l’est de Cornwall.

C’est grâce à la générosité de M. John Lafave et de sa conjointe, Mme Emma Dionne, qu’un terrain est acheté à prix modique pour me loger.

Un terrain juste pour moi! C’est sur ce lopin de terre privilégié que j’ai passé plus de 67 années.

Juste à y penser, j’ai des frissons de joie!

Autour de moi les maisons se construisaient et les familles se multipliaient.

Vous savez sans doute que l’expansion à l’est de Cornwall fut, en grande partie, causée par le déplacement de Canadiens français catholiques provenant du Québec. Ces braves et courageuses familles étaient à la recherche de communautés industrielles où étaient offerts des emplois plus payants.

Je dois vous dire que vers la fin des années 40, l’école primaire / élémentaire catholique Saint-Félix débordait. Le moment était opportun pour mon arrivée sur scène!

Grâce au travail remarquable de M. Lucien Leblanc, j’ai vu le jour au mois de septembre 1949. L’année d’après, plus précisément au mois de septembre 1950 je fus baptisée en prenant le nom de l’École primaire Sainte-Croix. En 1951 je suis bénie par Mgr R. Brodeur.

Sur la plaque de contreplaqué, finement ciselée, qui décorait le mur de mon entrée principale se lisait : 1950 ÉCOLE STE-CROIX Albert Paquette, prés.

Nicholas Battista Mathias Billard Aurèle Giroux, sec. trés.

L. Leblanc, Architecte J. Entwistle, Entreprenneur Ce sont, en effet, les membres de ma famille!

- Cornwall Express - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

Par Gilles Davidson

M. Leblanc originaire de Montréal, membre éminent de l’Institut Royal d’Architecture du Canada vient s’établir à Ottawa. Ici, il ouvre son propre cabinet d’architecte. Il fait sa marque en conceptualisant certains pavillons de l’Université d’Ottawa dont l’École Normale, le salon de la faculté des Arts et la résidence étudiante de la faculté de Droit canonique que pour en mentionner quelques-unes. En 1948, M. Leblanc trace mes plans. En 1955, mon créateur s’installe à Cornwall et ouvre un nouveau cabinet avec ses deux fils - Jacques et Guy. De plus, la firme Leblanc Architectes, élabore les plans de plusieurs écoles à Cornwall dont Jean XXIII et l ’é c o l e secondaire Sainte -Croix.

Malheureusement, M. Lucien Leblanc est décédé à Cornwall le 17 juin 1966.

J’ai été gagnante en ayant été conceptualisée par un architecte aussi prestigieux!

Ce quartier à l’est de Cornwall ne cesse de

grandir. J’ose même dire, avec humilité, que c’est à cause de moi qu’il se développe aussi rapidement. De plus, ma présence prévoit les possibilités de former une nouvelle paroisse. Eh oui, en 1954, le jour de Noël, ma soeur, l’église Sainte-Croix accueille les paroissiens pour la première fois. Cette messe de minuit annonce, non seulement la naissance de Jésus, mais aussi la naissance d’un nouveau peuple de Dieu. Elle est célébrée cérémonieusement par M. le curé F. Lefebvre.

Ce même M. le curé Lefebvre qui avait l’habitude, à différents moments de l’année, par exemple au temps de l’Halloween, de venir se balader dans mes corridors et dans mes classes pour rencontrer les élèves.

Il se présentait dans chaque classe avec son énorme sac de bonbons et ses deux chiens. Les élèves l’attendaient avec un sourire aux lèvres pour recevoir leur « kiss » de l’Halloween et de flatter les chiens qui étaient très bien portants.

Les enfants se régalaient à cette occasion.

En 1950, au début de ma deuxième année, j’ai le grand plaisir d’accueillir, à bras ouverts, les Soeurs de Sainte-Croix. Une trentaine d’entre elles ont enseigné dans mes locaux.

En 1952, je suis fière de vous dire que je comptais 12 classes Si ma mémoire est bonne, il me semble qu’aux environs de 1957, je peux me vanter que j’étais l’école primaire / élémentaire catholique avec le taux d’inscription le plus élevé dans la ville de Cornwall.

Ma population estudiantine était de 600 élèves répartie en 22 salles de classe.

Mon quartier, ma paroisse, vibrait d’énergie.

Un quartier en pleine croissance!

En septembre 1970, 649 jeunes, soit 10% du total des inscriptions des écoles séparées de Cornwall, marchent dans mes corridors et prennent place dans mes classes. Sous la tutelle

d’un personnel composé de 24 enseignantes et enseignants, mes élèves débutaient leur vie étudiants. Ma cousine La Nativité comptait 498 élèves.

En juin 2004, j’ai vécu une grande tristesse.

Ma raison d’être venait de changer. Désormais, plus de petits pieds dans mes corridors et plus de rires d’enfants dans mes classes. Mes portes s’ouvraient maintenant pour desservir la communauté francophone de Cornwall. C’est sous mon toit qu’ont résidé le Centre culturel, la Société de généalogie Saint-Laurent, l’école des adultes et plusieurs de mes classes servaient comme lieu de rencontres.

En 2016, je suis vendu à un entrepreneur.

Mon âge et l’usure étaient évidents et ma fin prévisible. J’avais vécu une belle vie et le temps était venu pour moi de céder ma place.

Depuis l’ouverture de mes portes, j’avais eu l’occasion d’être témoin de merveilleux moments de bonheur et aussi de nombreux instants de tristesse. J’ai observé des enfants souriants et d’autres versant des larmes. J’ai accueilli des enfants en bonne santé et d’autres affligés de maladies incurables. J’étais là quand mes jeunes affichaient un sourire radieux annonçant le succès et d’autres portant le lourd fardeau et la peine de l’échec. Ces expériences ne sont désormais que des souvenirs lointains et des échos affaiblis d’un passé prestigieux maintenant évanoui.

Samedi prochain, soit le 31 août 2019, au Centre civique de Cornwall, plusieurs de mes jeunes enfants maintenant devenus adultes se rencontreront, dans une ambiance amicale pour raconter leur propre histoire. Ce sera une occasion exceptionnelle et privilégiée qui ne se reproduira plus.

Mon passé d’institution scolaire sera célébré au présent, mais mon destin réside dans le coeur de ceux et celles qui m’ont fréquentée.

BBQ annuel de l’Association des Africains, Caribéens et internationale de l’Est de l’Ontario

Communiqué de presse de l’ACFO-SDG

CORNWALL, Ontario - Cornwall, 23 août 2019 —Le 17 août dernier, l’Association des Africains, Caribéens et internationale de l’Est de l’Ontario (ACIAEO), tenait son Barbecue annuel au Parc de Long Sault. Presque tous les membres de l’Association étaient présents avec leurs familles

et invités. « Ce BBQ est une occasion parfaite pour socialiser, se réunir et fêter ensemble », a expliqué la présidente de l’association, Madame Justina Ngwa.

L’ACFO-SDG est fière d’avoir pu s’associer à cette activité.

L’importante contribution des préposés aux services de soutien à la personne Communiqué de presse de la CCH

soins aux patients en phase critique de l’hôpital.

Pendant la nuit, on l’a observé de près et, le lendemain matin, on a pu retirer le ventilateur.

Quand son état est devenu stable, on l’a ramené à l’Unité de soins chirurgicaux. Là aussi, il y avait plusieurs préposés aux services de soutien à la personne qui faisaient partie intégrante de l’équipe de soins de santé. Gail Leroux, Cheryl Bishop et Lise Levasseur, toutes des préposées, offraient des soins au père de Sandy. « En tant qu’enfant unique et seule aidante naturelle, je pouvais sortir de l’hôpital pour aller manger et dormir, sachant que mon père était entre bonnes mains et qu’on allait très bien s’occuper de lui. Les préposées aux services de soutien à la personne nous ont été tellement utiles, tant à mon père qu’à moi. Un vrai cadeau du ciel. Elles le surveillaient, elles le tenaient occupé en lui faisant faire des activités et elles allaient faire des marches avec lui quand je ne pouvais pas être là. Elles l’aidaient aussi à aller aux toilettes. Elles ont également fait preuve de beaucoup d’empathie envers moi et, toute la semaine, ont tâché d’alléger mes soucis », explique Sandy.

Depuis ce séjour à l’hôpital en juin, le père de Sandy est de retour dans sa maison de retraite et s’est complètement remis de son opération de la vésicule biliaire. « Toutes les personnes avec qui nous avons interagi, partout dans l’hôpital, étaient plaisantes, attentionnées, professionnelles et patientes. Aucun service ne m’a déçue pendant notre séjour et je voulais raconter cette belle expérience à d’autres. »

www.cornwallseawaynews.com - Cornwall Express - Le mercredi 28 août, 2019 - 17

Le jour où le père de Sandy, un homme de 83 ans, a eu de la fièvre et s’est plaint d’avoir mal au ventre, le personnel de sa maison de retraite a composé le 9-1-1 pour faire venir une ambulance. Quand Sandy est arrivée à l’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall pour rejoindre son père, il tremblait, il délirait et son trouble cognitif aggravé le rendait combatif.

Others, such as Kleen ‘n’ Shine and Murphy’s Soap Oil, are intended for cleaning wood and other surfaces. Still other furniture cleaners and polishes, generally oil-based products such as Old English and Liquid Gold. Only a few actually contain wax.

Home brews: 1/2 teaspoon light olive oil added to 1/4 cup white distilled vinegar for cleaning and 1/4 cup walnut oil plus 4 drops of lemon extract for polishing.

ASHE, (néE TurnEr) DoriS – Ms. Doris Jane Ashe (née Turner) R.N., passed away peacefully at Cornwall Hospice on August 22, 2019, surrounded by her loving family at the age of 76. Forever loved and always missed mother of Janet Mae MacDonald (née Shirley) (Russ) and Arthur-James “A.J.” Charles Ashe (Tina).

Cherished grandmother of Natalie, Christopher, Katrina, Hailey, Mila, Nala, and Malaya. Proud great-grandmother of Malek, Ellyanna, Abigail, and Piper. Dear sister of Gordon (Diane) and John (Marjorie) Turner. Remembered fondly by stepdaughters Charlene Seaton and Delores Gero. Daughter of the late Edgar and Wilda (née Patterson) Turner. She was loved by countless relatives and friends. A retired nurse (Cornwall General Hospital Nursing School class of 1964) and woman of faith, Doris was truly special. She cared for many and touched hearts in ways only those that knew her could understand. Please join her family in celebration of her life Monday, September 2, 2019 for a memorial service beginning at 2 p.m. and reception to follow from 3 p.m.- 4 p.m. at the Cornwall Wesleyan Church, 780 Sydney St., Cornwall Ontario. After a long struggle with cancer, cremation will have already occurred. Interment at Maple Ridge Cemetery in Winchester Ontario will be done at a later date. The family would like to thank the wonderful health care teams, staff, volunteers, and everyone who helped Doris battle Multiple Myeloma. She achieved many of her dreams, and her strength and courage continue to inspire us. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Wilson Funeral Home 822 Pitt Street, Cornwall.

With Premier Ford’s cutbacks to municipalities, caller hopes they have excluded Cornwall, so our councillors can take their big raises. Now is the time to cut back on the number of councillors and cancel this new raise without delay. Are they going to give themselves another big raise because of these cutbacks?

A GIRL NAMED DARLING

A girl named Darling had a particularly rough childhood because of her uncommon name. She always got a lot of teasing at school. Eventually, she overcame her hang-up and married her highschool sweetheart.

When their first child was born, she named the baby girl “Love” inspired in the same spirit as her unique name.

Unfortunately, Love grew up and endured much of the same teasing that Darling did, because of her strange name.

She came home from school one day and screamed at her dad, asking why he gave her such a stupid name.

Dad took the blame to protect his wife and apologized.

In a fit of rage, Love shot him with her dart gun and ran away.

Minutes later, Darling came home and saw her husband lying on the ground.

“What happened?!” she asked, running to him.

He waved her closer, and whispered, “Shot with a dart, and you’re to blame. Darling, you gave Love a bad name.”
