CORNWALL, Ontatrio – The Cornwall Police Services Board approved a 2.98 per cent increase to the Cornwall Police Service (CPS) budget for 2020. The total budget for 2020 will be approximately $19 million.

CPS Chief Danny Aikman who presented the budget to the Board explained that the reason for the higher than normal increase was due to the rising cost of living.

“What you see in 2020 is that the cost of living has caught up with us,” Aikman said.

“The 2020 budget has been the most difficult to come up with a number that adequately meets our needs while respecting Council’s desire to keep the tax rate low. I could have easily brought forth an increase in excess of five per cent by chose not to.”

Aikman clarified that a five per cent budget increase was not something he was in favour of or would seek, but was the number he started with and pared down from to 2.98 per cent.

Deputy Chief Shawna Spowart explained to the Board that many requests were received from CPS departments that were turned down.

“Unless they were deemed essential to our operations, they were zeroed out,” Spowart explained.

“I tend to be a Grinch when it comes to people’s wishlists,” said Aikman. P2 ➤

Taking to the lanes for Tim Horton’s Bowl for Kids Sake NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Tim Horton’s Bowl For Kids Sake returns for its 42nd year on Feb. 1 in Cornwall and on Feb. 2 in Chesterville.

For 42 years, the event has supported Big Brothers/ Big Sisters (BBBS) Cornwall. On Wednesday, Dec. 4, BBBS announced that Edith Sturgeon would be serving as this year’s honorary chair and that Tim Horton’s

would be returning for the 14th year as the title sponsor.

Local Tim Horton’s franchisee Darryn McPhail said that supporting BBBS was important for the Tim Horton’s family, and for his family as well.

“Its all about the kids,” he said. “Not just with the brand, but we also have young families and we are at the schools and we want to support the opportunities that all kids should have.”

Edith Sturgeon has been a Big Sister for 35 years to eight different young women.

“I’m very honoured to be the chair of Tim Horton’s Bowl for Kids Sake this year,” she said. “I have great memories with all of my Little Sisters and I look forward to doing it for many more years to come.”

The event will have over $3,000 in prizes, including Tim Horton’s gift cards and a $500 cash prize courtesy of the Cornwall Rotary Club.

Last year’s event raised more than $60,000 for BBBS Cornwall.

“Tim Horton’s has been an amazing supporter of this event and partner with,” said BBBS Executive Director Ron Graham.

“Thanks to their contribution and community’s support we’ll be able to assist 400 local youth through our mentoring programs.”

Police Board approves nearly 3% CPS budget increase Around 80 per cent of the CPS budget goes towards salaries and benefits.

Members of the Cornwall Police Association (CPA) are receiving an average increase of 1.55 per cent, while the Senior Officers Association is receiving an average increase of 1.85 per cent. Aikman explained that this coming year sees more CPS officers reaching seniority than average and getting larger pay increases because of it.

Another area of increase is in the IT department, where the CPS are asking for an additional $48,057 this year.

“We do not want to find ourselves in the situation of some other services where our services is locked down by ransomware,” Aikman said.

In terms of the service being provided to the community, CPS pointed to lowering crime rates in several areas, such as Sexual Assaults, Aggravated Assaults, and Theft Under $5,000, while seeing crime rate increases in other areas, like Break & Enters. Aikman said that overall, calls for service and arrests were trending upwards for 2019.

Chief Aikman highlighted the work that the CPS was doing in the community through mental health programs like the Vulnerable Sector Mobile Acute Response Team (VSMART) and their work with youths in schools.

“We are a small police service, that plays well above our weight,” Aikman said. “We do

a lot in our community that larger police forces can only hope to do.”

Aikman also highlighted for the Board that the CPS was in the process of renewing their basic police standards accreditation with the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) and is only one of six services in Canada to have such an accreditation.

Aikman insisted that the budget presented to the Board is what was required to meet CPS’ needs for 2020 and he worked closely with the City’s Deputy Treasurer Paul Scrimshaw in crafting it.

“This has been one of the most difficult budgets ever,” Aikman said. “I’ve been talking with Paul almost daily on this.”

“We don’t like big increases,” said Cornwall Mayor Bernadette Clement who sits on the Police Services Board. “But we’ve been talking about your needs for awhile now, so we as a board are getting a good idea of your needs.”

CPS currently has 88 frontline officers, 11 of whom are absent. CPS also has 38 civilian members and 14 part-time members.

Earlier this year, Aikman asked for an was approved for a 20 per cent increase in his roster of frontline officers to fill vacancies.

VR bringing comfort and connection to Hospice nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Carefor Hospice Cornwall is introducing virtual reality (VR as a part of the care service offered to their patients.

Hospice Cornwall has received two VR headsets through Wishplay, a charitable organization that is dedicated to using VR to improve health and end-of-life care.

“Our mission at Wishplay is to develop simple and easy to use solutions to allow patients to live beyond the

limitations of their illness or disability,” the Wishplay mission statement reads.

Hospice Cornwall hopes that the VR headsets will help their patients get new experiences outside the confines of their room and their illness, as well as allowing them to participate with their families and friends in ways that they otherwise would not.

“If a person always wanted to travel or participate in an activity, this is a good way to do that,” said Shannon Ball if Hospice Cornwall. “If a resident can’t go to a family event like a wedding, we can

go with a video camera and film it and they can relive it through the headset as if they were actually there.”

Belinda McGillvray, a Hospice community client said that she was impressed with the technology after she tried it out.

“It is really really interesting,” she said. “It’s like you’re really there. It might help patients a lot with depression.”

Local vigil remembers École Polytechnique massacre victims SHAWNA O’NEILL

soneill@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – On Dec. 6, 1989, exactly 30 years ago, 14 women were murdered at École Polytechnique in Montreal in a hateful act of anti-feminism. The massacre is recognized as Canada’s worst mass shooting.

At 12 p.m. on Dec. 6, 2019, members of the community and City Council, alongside staff of Sexual Assault Support Services for Women of SDG&A (SASS) and Maison Balwdin House, gathered at City Hall to remember the victims. Brief speeches were made, roses were placed in the victims’ honour and a moment of silence was held amid the gentle fall of snowflakes.

“That evening started much like any other.

Students arrived for classes, milled around the campus, Christmas was only 19 days away and a winter break was coming. No one could have predicted that shortly after 5 p.m., a man, fueled by hatred of women, would commit a heinous act of violence that would end the lives of 14 women…we won’t say his name today. He doesn’t deserve the recognition,” said Danielle MacNeil, Public Educator and Volunteer Coordinator for Maison Baldwin House. MacNeil elaborated that the shooter deliberately separated the female from male students and voiced his hate of feminists before opening fire.

“We work to end exactly the same thing and that’s violence against women,” said

Angela Vinette, Executive Director of SASS, when asked why both local agencies partnered together to host the vigil. She reflected that the vigil has been held for several years in the community.

“The attack was fueled by violence against women and that is what our agencies exist to combat,” said MacNeil in agreement.

Baldwin House also livestreamed the vigil on their Facebook page for anyone who could not attend physically.

“Violence against women is still an issue today, 30 years later. We all need to be doing our part, to end it however we can,” said MacNeil.

Statistics suggest that currently in Canada one woman is killed every two days, once a

week a woman is murdered by her partner and one in three women will experience sexual violence over the course of their lives.

To find out more about local support and services for women in violent situations, visit maisonbaldwinhouse.ca and SASS’ Facebook page.

The names of the victims who are remembered on this day include: Geneviève Bergeron, Hélène Colgan, Nathalie Croteau, Barbara Daigneault, Anne-Marie Edward, Maud Haviernick, Barbara KlucznikWidajewicz, Maryse Laganière, Maryse Leclair, Anne-Marie Lemay, Sonia Pelletier, Michèle Richard, Annie St-Arneault, Annie Turcotte.

North Glengarry recognizes firefighters’ dedication soneill@seawaynews.media

Captain Simon Hardy.

“Firefighters serve as the backbone of our community. They sacrifice sleep, family and safety to help others. They run towards fire when everyone else is running away. They are our neighbours, friends and coworkers and this event represents an opportunity for us to thank them,” said Jamie MacDonald, Mayor of North Glengarry.

“The North Glengarry Fire Department has

undergone significant changes over the past few years. Modernization initiatives and the vision of our senior staff in the fire department have made it stand out as a model for others,” said North Glengarry’s Deputy Mayor Carma Williams, who assisted in the recognition ceremony.

CORNWALL, Ontario – If you are a motorist in the City of Cornwall, it may come as a relief to hear that the CN railway overpass construction on Brookdale Ave. is set to be nearly complete by Sunday, Dec. 15. Both northbound and southbound lanes will be open for traffic.

The project, which commenced on Aug. 19, 2018, was set to be completed by Aug. 30, 2019. Now in the last month of the year, the project contractor Landform Civil Infrastrucutures of Hamilton stated that crews will demobilize from the site 107 days, or over three months, later than anticipated.

“The contractor has not met the completion date stipulated in the contract of Aug. 30, 2019,” said Michael Fawthrop, City Infrastructure Division Manager. “Once it became apparent that the contractor was not going to meet the contractual completion date, the contractor provided the City with an updated project schedule which indicated that the overpass was to be re-opened to two lanes of traffic by the end of October. Unfortunately, the contractor failed to meet this timeline as well. The contractor has indicated to the City that the bridge will be re-opened to two lanes of traffic by end of this week (Dec. 1 to 7) or early next week (Dec. 8 to 14). The contractor is slated to demobilize from the site by December 15.”

While the project failed to meet its timeline requirements, it also failed to meet its completion requirements, with work still remaining for 2020. Fawthrop contends that the work remaining ‘is a relatively minor amount’ and ‘will not be a significant or prolonged disruption to traffic’, including the resurfacing and paving of the bridge approaches, as well as ‘address(ing) any deficiencies if needed’.

“Unfortunately, the contractor has not met the contractual deadline to have the project substantially complete nor have they met subsequent schedules/deadlines they have communicated to the City…” said Fawthrop. “The City continues to work with the contractor to get the overpass re-opened and the project completed as soon as possible.”

With a total price tag of over $5 million

awarded to Landform Civil Infrastrucutures, the project is set to remain on budget despite its timeline and completion shortcomings.

“The project remains within the tendered amount; however, this is a unit rate contract (similar to almost all City infrastructure projects) and final quantities/payments are still being completed,” said Fawthrop.

Fawthrop explained that in a unit rate contract, the contractor is paid based on the quantity of work completed, regardless of the time it took to complete. Quantities for respective items utilized in the project, such as asphalt, are estimated (prior) and the contractor submits a unit price for each item.

“Although the contractor has not met the project schedule, the City would not pay for the additional time it took as we pay for the quantity of work completed,” said Fawthrop.

In the 2015 to 2017 capital budgets, $3.5 million was budgeted for the construction component of the project. As Brookdale Ave. is considered a ‘Connecting Link’ the City applied and received the maximum contribution of $3

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

Toronto Sun columnist Mark Bonokoski railed against Conservative Leader Andrew Sheer’s picks for his Shadow Cabinet, namely because he did not choose Stormont, Dundas, and South Glengarry (SD&SG) MP Eric Duncan as one of his 50 shadow ministers.

During the recent federal election, Sheer was pressed on his social conservative stances and was branded as not being friendly or supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. Since failing to form a government in this last election, pundits within the Conservative Party have pointed to this lack of support and acceptance to the LGBTQ+ community as a factor for the party’s lack of success.

Eric Duncan is the first openly gay Conservative MP. Bonokoski argues that by not making Duncan a shadow minister, that Sheer missed out on the perfect opportunity to dispel these arguments of prejudice.

“The fact that Duncan is also openly-gay, a rare bird among Conservatives, gave Scheer the perfect opportunity to look less puritan and immovable,” Bonokoski wrote in his column.

I feel that had Duncan been chosen as a shadow minister in the way that Bonokoski suggests that it would have been a nakedly political move and that it would in fact ignore Duncan’s own skills and qualifications as an MP. Duncan does not deserve to be branded as the token “Gay Conservative” and we as his constituents do not deserve that either.

I went to nearly every debate this past election campaign and Duncan’s sexual orientation did not come up once, not a single time. It did not matter to the voters here in our riding, as it shouldn’t, and it shouldn’t matter in Ottawa either.

Duncan is one of 121 Conservative MPs in the 43rd Parliament, 50 of whom were

selected for the Shadow Cabinet.

Sheer, like any leader, had a lot of political considerations to take into account when he was choosing his team and unfortunately, qualifications such as pure merit are not the only things taken into account.

In terms of pure merit, Duncan has plenty, something that Bonkoski agrees with in his article.

“Now, if Duncan was as dumb as a post and an underachiever Scheer might have a decent argument for not tapping his shoulder,” Bonkoski wrote. “But Duncan is neither.”

In the current political storm that Sheer is facing, Duncan’s professional qualities would be ignored, and he would be boiled down to a single issue, his sexual orientation. Being in the shadow cabinet under these terms would be of no benefit the constituents of SD&SG. Eric is a rookie MP, despite his many years of experience in municipal politics and his behind the scenes work at the federal level. Being a rookie MP, I was not surprised he wasn’t selected for the shadow cabinet. Apprenticing under former MP Guy Lauzon is no doubt a great education, but it does not match the real thing.

Will Duncan be in cabinet one day?

There is no doubt in my mind that he will be. Right now, however, he has other things he should focus on and that is doing all he can to best represent the constituents of SD&SG, something that Duncan himself acknowledges.

I reached out to Eric Duncan’s office to ask him for his thoughts on The Sun’s column, something that Bonokoski did not do when writing his piece.

“I am very happy and fully supportive of our Party’s Shadow Cabinet. Andrew has done a great job highlighting the many talented Members from a diverse range of backgrounds we have on the team. I have had a number of ver y productive

conversations with the Leader since the campaign and have passed along that I am excited to assist the team in any capacity possible,” Duncan’s Chief of Staff Adrian Bugelli conveyed to me on his behalf. “My first responsibility is to the residents of Stormont-Dundas and South Glengarry who placed their trust in me.

Our first goal was to get our constituency offices open and to continue offering first rate customer service, which I’m proud to say we accomplished very quickly. I’m looking forward for the House reconvening this Thursday and working with my colleagues to hold the Liberal government to account.”

Duncan has already tackled at least one important issue on behalf of his constituents, the CN Rail strike. The rail strike froze transportation nationally, which created hurt across the country, but especially for farmers. Farmers in SD&SG reached out to Duncan and pleaded for help to get the gas flowing again so they could dry their corn for the winter harvest, and

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Duncan got to work. I’m not sure how much influence Duncan was able to bring to bear on this issue, but the strike is over, and the propane is being delivered again.

What I will be watching closely is what Duncan does in SD&SG, and not having the distractions or extra pressure of being in cabinet might be a blessing in disguise for the rookie MP and for his constituents.

While I always appreciate seeing him at every local event and pancake breakfast in the riding, I want to see what he will do for us when it comes to supporting growth in our region, in helping secure federal funding for infrastructure work, and in helping local non-profits achieve grants to support their operations as well.

Tell your kids and grandkids they don’t have to leave our region to find work Dear Editor, Last Saturday, I held a workshop for a dozen people to help local jobseekers find work. The kind of work where you don’t have to commute. The kind of work where you can earn decent pay and wear pyjamas at home if that’s your thing. It’s called remote work and everyday these opportunities are growing.

Over 3 years ago, I moved back to Cornwall with a mission - to create digital literacy and job opportunities in tech. You can say that

that the educational part is snowballing a bit more, thanks to teachers who are teaching STEM in their classrooms and small businesses who are taking advantage of the new Digital Main Street program thanks to the Heart of the City. Unfortunately, the tech companies aren’t here (yet), but that doesn’t mean you or your family have to move.

Remote jobs (also known as telecommuting), are available all over the world. Some companies ONLY hire remote workers and

others are producing a blended workforce where some employees work at their headquarters and others are scattered all over the world. These aren’t minimum wage-paying jobs, these are decent jobs at progressive companies with amazing perks, like free gym memberships and yearly retreats to exotic locations with your team.

If you’re looking for customer support jobs, marketing, sales, tech (especially engineering), writing, and so much more, you can

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

www.cornwallseawaynews.com - Seaway News - Wednesday, December 11, 2019 - 9

A Toronto sports columnist, in plugging Ken Dryden’s best-selling book “Scotty”, pointed out that the Hall of Fame goaltender doesn’t speak in short or simple sentences.

The old joke is that if you ask the Cornell University graduate, who picked up a law degree at McGill while playing for the Montreal Canadiens, for the time of day he will spend an hour telling you how the watch was made.

I have first-hand experience.

Back in the 1990s Dryden was in town to speak to St. Lawrence High School students. The principal, Brian Gilmour, thought it would be a great idea for me to travel with him when he took Dryden back to the Ottawa airport.

“You will be able to get some great material for your (sports) column,” he said.

Knowing that Dryden was a tough interview, I laid out a plan. Rather than jump into anything to do with hockey I would lead into that subject by asking him about his take on youth unemployment, a subject he had studied and written about.

Then a few minutes later I would slip in a hockey question and go from there.

So on Highway 138, around St. Andrew’s West, after some small talk between Gilmour, who was driving his Volvo, and Dryden, in the front passenger seat, I asked about his work studying youth unemployment.

On and on and on he droned. Statistic after statistic. A got the entire 600-page Youth Unemployment thesis, line-by-line.

Little of it I understood. Ken Dryden is a super intelligent guy. Je ne suis pas.

He was still reeling of statistics an hour or so later when we pulled in front of the airport. That was it. Interview over!

The best part of the trip came when I was taking his suitcase out of the trunk.

Two Air Canada stewardesses walking by recognized the very recognizable Dryden.

“My, there’s Ken Dryden,” said one.

“Yes,” said the other. “I don’t know the other guy but I think he played hockey too.”

When I got back in the car Gilmour was wearing an ear-to-ear grin.

“Hey, great interview,” he laughed.

Well, at least I didn’t ask him for the time.

FLASHBACK This week in 1966 - Fulltime school nurses at three city high schools and ways to rivive the dwindling army cadet numbers were discussed by Cornwall Collegiate Institute Board trustees. Cornwall Collegiate and St. Lawrence High School had cadet programs but the numbers had declined to about 300 at each school. General Vanier did not have a cadet program. Trustee George Shaw said the program was worthwhile even if some of the cadets got a haircut. ... City Planning Board approved a rezoning change request from city businessman Phil Gignac who wanted to build a motel/ service centre on Brookdale Avenue just south of Highway 401. ... In a speech at the Irish Club of London (England), Cornwall native and former Stormont MP Lionel Chevrier praised the contribution of the Irish Presentation Brothers in his home town. The Canadian High Commissioner noted that he was taught by the brothers and that they helped shape his life. ... Angela Gratton, 17-yearold Grade 12 St. Lawrence High School student, was named Cornwall Centennial Queen. Lise Dumont, 19-year-old receptionist at CFML Radio was runner-up. ...

The number of city resident collecting welfare declined 4% in November. At the end of the month 1,296 residents were on welfare. .... City council voted to contribute $126 toward the cost of putting on the Santa Claus Parade. The bill for the parade put on by the Triple N Riding Club was $350. Ald. Ralph Carrara criticized local merchants for their lack of financial support. ... Marguerite Rose, a 17-yearold resident of Montreal Road was called a “bundle of courage” by fire department officials after she rescued four young children who fled fire that destroyed their Pilon Island home.

Cornwall’s Camm gearing up for provincials on home ice PROVIDED BY CORNWALL TOURISM CORNWALL, Ontario - It’s a Tuesday afternoon, early winter, and the Cornwall Curling Centre is dormant save for a few players throwing practice shots on the ice. One of them is wearing a neon blue and green jacket and a familiar baseball cap.

This is Mat Camm, the face of curling in Cornwall and member of the top-ranked

men’s curling team in the world.

As of this week, Camm and Team Epping sit atop the world curling rankings after a strong start to the 2019-20 season with two bonspiel titles – including the Shorty Jenkins Classic in Cornwall in September – as well as a semi-final and quarter-final appearance.

It’s the fourth year that Camm has been a part of skip John Epping’s rink, and it’s a partnership that continues to evolve and grow.

This year, accomplished curler Ryan Fry joined the team as third, with Camm bumping to second for the first time. Brent Laing serves as lead for the team, which is based out of the Leaside Curling Club in Toronto.

“It’s been a good change and I’m excited about playing a new position. It’s a bit different, I’m a little more tired with all the sweeping,” Camm says with a smile. “I’m the last person to talk to John (before he throws). It’s been fun.”

In January, Cornwall will be playing host to the 2020 Ontario Curling Championships.

Also known as the Tankard (men’s) and Tournament of Hearts (women’s), the championship will see the top men’s and women’s teams in Ontario vying for the right to represent the province at the Tim Hortons Brier and Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

compete in the tournament, and Camm will play the obvious role of hometown hero. It’s a storyline he’s ready to embrace.

“You get to wake up in your own bed and you’re excited playing on your own ice,” he adds. “It’s nice to have the hometown advantage.”

Curling at home won’t be entirely new for Camm. Team Epping are regulars at the Shorty Jenkins Classic event each fall at the Cornwall Curling Centre. But this will be different. The Civic Complex will be the site of the competition, with the arena ice being transformed into curling sheets for the weeklong event – something that hasn’t happened in over 30 years.

The unique venue should make it even more special for players and spectators alike.

“It should be a great tournament,” Camm added. “I think it will be great playing in an arena. The fans will be right out there with us and they’ll be able to hear us during the action.”

For Cornwall sports fans, it will be a unique chance to watch one of their very own, at the top of their game.

“It all comes down to how you are playing against shots,” Camm said. “The more shots you make, odds are you are going to win.”

The odds are also good that Cornwallites will be there in big numbers in January to cheer him on.

CORNWALL, Ontario - Le vendredi 6 décembre 2019, deux organisations francophones de Cornwall ont reçu des subventions de la province.

Le Centre Charles-Émile Claude a reçu un chèque de $21,135 qui servira à aider les

aînés à devenir plus branchés et à financer des cours éducatifs pour leurs membres.

Le Centre Charles-Émile Claude compte un peu moins de 300 membres et leur directrice générale, Linda Newman, dit qu’ils utiliseront une partie de l’argent pour acheter de nouveaux iPads.

Certains des cours qu’ils envisagent d’offrir seront destinés aux membres qui

prennent soin de parents âgés.

L’Association canadienne française de l’Ontario - Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry (ACFO SDG) a également reçu $25,000 de la province vendredi.

Ils utiliseront l’argent pour soutenir leur programme phare ConcoursLOL, un cours qui fait la promotion de la comédie pour les jeunes.

ConcoursLOL a commencé comme une organisation régionale, mais est maintenant à l’échelle de la province.

L’argent sera utilisé pour aider à créer un réseau provincial de comédiens francophones pour aider les élèves-tuteurs en par tenariat avec l’École nationale de l’humeur.

It’s been one year since you‘ve been gone.

You are missed every day and every moment.

I miss times we sang together in the cold winter; You are my sunshine, my only sunshine; you make me happy when the sky is gray…

Last winter was very long and cold since I lost my sunshine.

I missed time when we worked together, every job you did was perfect. I never knew a person who was able to work on electrical, hydrologic, pneumatic and mechanical jobs. I never knew a person who had so many certificates and work experiences before I worked with you. You were the best supervisor and trade worker.

You were very special and precious.

Your warmth, your generosity, your kindness are remembered by many people who you helped.

You supported many charity organizations for many years.

You picked up people on roadside who needed a lift; you delivered kids’ stuff to the families who had kids.

You picked up some one who was sick and dropped her to the hospital on your way to work. There is a long list of stories where you helped others.

You were my hero; you will always be my hero!

Your great sense of humor made people laugh. You made doctors and nurses laugh in you last days. You were loved and missed by everyone who cared for you.

We did not think about death, we celebrated every day; we enjoyed our time together until the end.

235035

I will always remember our good time and happy days.

We loved walking in the woods, walking along the river, watching sunrises and sunsets.

Every time I go to these places, I believe you are with me and beside me.

You loved to listen to CBC science program; you loved to watch stars in the clear night; you loved sailboats.

Now you can enjoy exploring stars and sailing on the sea. You can enjoy my garden flowers and go around with me.

Death only ended your pain; your soul is free as a bird, as a butterfly, as soft wind, as mist rain, as ray of light, as a red leaf, as a flower, as a garden fairy.

There is place for you in my heart, I will take you to anywhere I go, and I will share my thoughts and Journeys with you.

You are free to explore all dimensions in the space that was your wonderland. It was your pleasure to know the unknown, to see the unseen.

You know my heart is your home; my love brings you to life.

Dear Seaway News ... “On Dec. 2nd, a friend and I were coming home from a doctor’s appointment and going to go into Maxville, on Dyer Rd and on the road we thought we saw a small pony. Well, it was a nice collie, black and white, so skinny and looking for its owner. Some idiot has left this poor beautiful dog on the road. Also, a little red car we saw brake and he must have been as mad as us. I hope it gets a home and Santa reads the Seaway News! Make sure Santa, don’t go to this idiot’s home. Dump Williamstown’s Roddie Sandilands, a long time Cornwall Colt, is now out east playing for he sees your letter by sending it to nsee- him along the road also. I never want to see something like this again. I was so upset that the St. Francis Xavier University hockey team bruch@seawaynews.media someone could do this”. in Antigonish, N.S. Had to pause at Cornwall Council Monday night after one Councillor spoke of pictures of fish eating butts. Relax all you 13-year-olds reading this and having a giggle, he was talking about cigarette butts.

SEAWAY NEWS PET CORNER

Jane in Bonville, (the constant wonderer), is now wondering why it is, that the “less expensive” stores in Cornwall, and there is a surfiet of them, only sell Canada flags around June and July????? Also, I am wondering why they sell bird feeders in the summer, with not one to be had in the winter when they are needed.

But, at least they sell seed. Have to make your own I guess..... yikes!!!
