PRINCESS FOR A DAY
CORNWALL, Ontario – The City of Cornwall released their draft version of the 2020 budget including the Operating and Capital budgets on Thursday, Jan. 16, 2020. The budget shows increases in operating costs and correlating increases in the residential tax levy. The City states that while operating budgets have increased by $1.4 million or 1.98 per cent from last year, revenues have fallen, excluding taxation, by $2.2 million or 2.21 per cent. City administration cited the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) as a source of challenges for this year’s budget. Namely, that while property assessment values have fallen in Cornwall for multi-residential and commercial properties, the City has also had to refund tax money to some property owners due to incorrect assessments on the part of MPAC. From 2017 to 2019, Cornwall refunded $8 million to property owners due to incorrect assessments. Cornwall took $1,971,666 from the Tax Stabilization Reserve to help pay for these tax refunds. Administration has budgeted $500,000 to be put back into that reserve from the 2020 budget as the first step in repaying that nearly $2 million. The Capital Budget from municipal departments fell sharply from 2019. The 2020 capital budget is 20 per cent, or $334,700, lower than 2019. In terms of a tax increase, administration is recommending a residential tax increase of 1.48 per cent. For an average home in Cornwall, assessed at $173,684, a residential tax increase of 1.48 per cent if passed would mean a municipal tax of $2,560.46 in real dollars. Of that amount, the largest portion, 24 per cent, will go towards policing. Lower than expected assessment values from MPAC mean that the City will collect $2.5 million less than it projected to collect this year in its Long Term Financial Plan. In order to remain in line with the plan, and to achieve funding targets for future projects, Cornwall would
have to increase its residential tax rate by 8.47 per cent in 2021, something that administration opted to avoid in its draft. Cornwall’s total operating budget for 2020 is $173.1 million and the capital budget is $27.2 million. The draft budget will be reviewed by Cornwall City Council’s budget committee, which will then pass it along to Council as a whole to approve the final draft.

OPINION
A busy January
Family Court is a marathon, not a sprint
3 MINUTES WITH THE MP MP ERIC DUNCAN
Happy New Year! While the House of Commons only reconvenes on January 27th, it has been a busy and productive month in the local community as I continue to connect with constituents, businesses, and local organizations. There has not been a shortage of local federal issues that have been on the radar. The first issue came up unexpectedly, last November with the CN rail strike. I was just in the process of setting up my offices and completing my orientations in Ottawa when the strike started. Within a day or two, I had phone calls with dozens of local farmers, concerned that their regular propane shipments had come to a halt- and it could not have come at a worse time as they were trying to get
their harvest finished after a tough year of uncooperative weather. The ongoing strike quickly became a crisis for the agriculture industry for those who relied on propane for their dryers. Frustrations mounted and I was able to quickly create a House of Commons e-petition to demonstrate the support for ending the strike. We gathered hundreds of signatures in just mere days to build momentum for ending the strike. Thankfully, the strike was resolved, and farmers were very lucky that Mother Nature cooperated. If an ice, rain or wind event had happened during that time, our farmers would have been in a much worse situation. A big takeaway from the issue has been the need to get more natural gas service into rural communities, which I continue to work on with my colleagues in the Ontario government. I’ve said often that settling into the job of Member of Parliament is like a ‘baptism by blowtorch’. Supporting our farmers to raise awareness of their challenge was certainly an example, but one that I was grateful to assist with in a small way.
A breakup can be devastating. If you end up in family court, the process will take some time, and energy. You are dealing with emotional and financial issues while trying to navigate through the court process. This can be paralyzing as you try to find advice, guidance and answers to your many questions. Putting the pieces of your life back together can be overwhelming. Lawyers can guide you and, at the beginning when all seems bleak, answer some of the basic questions you will have. These answers may save you weeks of worry. Seek advice. That first call will help you stay focused on what’s important – healing yourself and your family. A holistic approach is needed. You need to take care of yourself so that you have the endurance to face whatever comes up. Your lawyer will act as the buffer that you need with your former partner but it is up to you to take care of yourself. Get some exercise. Clear your mind. Take up a new hobby. If you need to, see a therapist, they can
THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE JODIE REYNOLDS - SENIOR FAMILY COUNSEL AT LEVESQUE, GRENKIE
provide you with coping skills so that you can move forward. Family law disputes force you into a marathon. Not a sprint. Prepare yourself for a long journey ahead. Now, take a breath and understand this; you, like everyone else, will come out of this. How well you do, however, depends on several factors. Some you can control and some you cannot. Take control of what you can: make that first call to a family lawyer you trust. *Only my clients get my legal advice. This is strictly general legal information.

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Kinettes Club held their sixth annual Princess Ball at the Cornwall Civic Complex on Sunday, Jan. 19, 2020. This year was the ball’s biggest year yet, with up to 300 attendees that were expected. Each prince and princess that arrived at the Salons at the Civic Complex were introduced by Cornwall’s Town Crier Wes Libbey. They had a chance to meet other princesses including Jasmine, and Elsa and Anna from the Frozen franchise. There were crafts, cookies, face painting, and a magic carriage that was revealed with a wave of the magic wands that were given to each princess. “This event has been such a success for us and people get so excited for it,” said

SVW Superfight delivers NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.com
CORNWALL, Ontario – Seaway Valley Wrestling (SVW) held their Superfight card in partnership with Destiny Wrestling from Toronto on Saturday, Jan. 18 at the Nav Centre. Weather in Cornwall was cold with 20 cm of
snow in the forecast, but that did not keep SVW’s rabid fans from filling up the Bombardier Room at the Nav Centre, with more than 300 guests in attendance. The wrestling action kicked off with a high octane emotional bout between Big Daddy D-Roy and “The Rage” Randy Berry inside a steel cage. This feud was two years in the making, with its roots going back to the founding days of SVW. Both men hit the other with all they had except for remorse. There were tables, chairs, doors and of course the cage itself which were used as weapons in this battle. Ultimately, D-Roy wrote the final chapter of this feud after choke slamming Berry through a table. This was followed by an excellent tag team match between SVW’s own undefeated Total Devastation and Sabotage, one of the premiere tag teams from Nova Scotia. Sabotage made their 10 hour journey worthwhile by coming out on top of Total Devastation. The pair then announced that their next fight on May 16 would be a “fans bring the weapons” match. While the nasty weather did not disrupt the enthusiasm of the fans in the crowd, it did necessitate some tweaks to the scheduled programming. One such change was in Sally’s match. With her planned opponent unable to make it to the Nav Centre, the girl from the
Village of the Damned instead faced off against SVW first-timer Puf. The 120 lbs Sally was first facing challenges in overcoming the girth of the 300 plus pounder Puf, but she was ultimately victorious after she was able to summon black mist that blinded her foe. The fourth match of the evening saw SVW Wrestler of the Year Lil’ Blay face off against Evil Uno. Uno has recently been featured on national television in the roster of the new All Elite Wrestling, where Uno is a member of the Dark Order. The fan favourite Blay had no problem bringing the audience to his side in the match, with audience members young and old getting their shots in on Uno. Blay got everyone in the Bombardier Room doing his signature dance, including Evil Uno, albeit against his will. Ultimately, while Uno was victorious, Blay was the one who walked out of the ring to a standing ovation. The scheduled main event was Channing Decker versus “The Villain” Marty Scurll of Ring of Honor, but Scurll was delayed due to the weather, so his compatriot Flip Gordon took his place. Decker, fresh off a tour in Japan, had a competitive and hard fought match with Gordon where he came out on top. Decker got on the mic after the match to praise the crowd, his

Earlier this month, it was announced that The Winchester Press was facing possible closure unless a new buyer could be found for the 134-year-old weekly. I’m wishing the publication the best, because without it, local businesses, the community of Winchester, and the region as a whole would be poorer. For several years now, there has been talk that print is dying, and while it is undeniable that we have seen a string of closures in recent years, community news is not going anywhere. Social media has transformed the industry. Every news outlet is now daily online, even weekly newspapers like Seaway News. These changes have meant that local papers have had to transform as well. Cornwall Seaway News for example, has grown from a weekly shopper, to the media company with the largest reach in our region, whether that be online, or in print. Seaway News has become much more than a weekly paper, we now have a strong presence online and on all major social media platforms. I’ve been told that people never read the paper anymore, and then I get letters or comments online from someone who I can tell read right until the last word. We go to tens of thousands of homes in Cornwall and the surrounding counties. Online, our website was clicked on
300,000 times in the month of December, a relatively slow month for news. While the bulk of our readers live in the region, we know that people from across Canada, North America and even Europe check cornwallseawaynews.com to keep track of what is going on here. Every day of every week, we are covering and delivering news to our readers that matters to them and makes a difference in their lives, but Seaway News is more than a community newspaper. We are a platform that creates a wide range of products for our readers and our advertisers to choose from. For the past three years, we have produced TASTE, a magazine that highlights food and culture trends in the region. We produce maps and guides and other tourism products for the City of Cornwall and the Townships of South Stormont and South Glengarry, and of course, we produce Cornwall Living, our crown jewel magazine. Year round, I will get requests from individuals, businesses, and non-profit organizations asking for space to be profiled in the next edition of Cornwall Living. Seaway News is a free paper. There is no subscription fee for the printed copy and there is no paywall on our website. Our business relies entirely on our advertisers and we are able to do that thanks to the value we are able to provide them. Our online and print circulation numbers show that we are the best option
for a business to get eyeballs on their product. We support local business, not just through providing an advertising platform, but also through supporting initiatives like the annual Shop Local campaign. This support of local businesses is just one example of why small newspapers are essential to the prosperity of their communities. Without a community newspaper, where will these businesses advertise? They can’t go to national outlets like the National Post or the CBC and reach their customers in the same way as they do through Seaway News. Finally, the most important service we provide is accountability and asking questions of local government officials.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
An American study from the University of Notre Dame in 2018 found that communities in the United States that had lost their local newspaper saw a rise in government spending. This happens because there is no one there to ask these important questions about process and spending and keep local governments to account. I wrote this column because I feel like it is important for readers to know the state of their local media. It is as important as knowing the state of affairs at City Hall. Hopefully this column gives readers a window into their community newspaper, Seaway News, and that they are assured that we are strong and providing an important service to them, their employers, and their neighbours.

Unsung heroes Dear Editor, On Saturday January 4, 2020 our community lost a woman, a member of a family that I choose to call “Unsung Heroes”. I say this because people sometimes pass on and their good works often go unnoticed despite having reached hundreds of persons. Mrs. MacMillan was one such person. Her dedication to the work of the Tri-County Literacy Council is immeasurable. The MacMillan family are long time owners of MacMillan’s store and the Loose Caboose at the corner of First and Marlborough Streets. You wonder their affiliation with Literacy? Their general store sells a variety of items including Nevada tickets on behalf of Tri-County Literacy Council. The funds from the sale of these tickets are directed at the purchase of adult
training resources and the delivery of training to volunteer tutors involved in most every aspect of the agency. The sale of these tickets increases the workload of store clerks while supplementing the budget of Tri-County Literacy Council. As many of you know, Tri-County Literacy Council is a community based, non-profit agency aimed at meeting the learning/training needs of adults in our community. People do not always realize the expense of offering training that requires expertise in adult learning and best practices including the need for resources that are often scarce and very expensive. The funds donated by the MacMillan family are instrumental in “growing” the agency. They enable us to continually update and expand our library, increase learner
numbers and to meet learners elsewhere when they are unable to attend onsite training. This family has a great share in the many successes of learners who are now living very productive lives. Without their generosity many of these persons would not have been served. I have been blessed to be at the helm of this agency for 34 years and I barely remember a time when the agency was not in receipt of the MacMillan’s generosity. Together, Jean and her husband never sought recognition, instead they were the “unsung heroes” of our community doing a job with an everlasting impact. Jean’s legacy continues through her daughter Cyndi and her husband David who took over ownership of the business a few years back. They continue to sell tickets to benefit the work of the agency and like Cyndi’s parents, she too,

contributes enormously to the growth of our community. They are caring corporate citizens who quietly make huge impacts on the lives of the people we serve. Tri-County Literacy Council is fortunate and proud to partner with people like Cyndi and David who continue sharing. And they do so without seeking any accolades. So even though we say, Goodbye” to Jean her personal legacy and good works live on. I cannot thank the MacMillan’s enough for their contributions and I hope our community in knowing about these “unsung heroes” will continue to visit their business, so they too, can become supporters of a very worthy cause. Sincerely, Geraldine McGowan Tri-County Literacy Council

As Caron said, “I lived in the jungle and survived in the jungle.” Lindsay purchased the book’s rights with the intention of turning it into a movie.

Career criminal turned award-winning author, and Cornwall native, Roger Caron had a dying wish for the documentary film-maker he had been working with on his life story. “Don’t make me a hero. Just tell the story the way it happened, and let the audience decide what they ultimately think of me,” Caron asked of Rob Lindsay, the award-winning Toronto film-maker. Local residents will get an opportunity to judge the story, and Caron, Friday night at Aultsville Theatre (6:30 p.m.) when Lindsay’s documentary “Go Boy! Memories of a Life Behind Bars” comes to Cornwall. It has been screened at various film festivals and was shown on CBC’s Documentary Channel. Caron laid claim to a couple of Canadian records: most hold-ups (75) and most prison escapes (13). He once faced a string of 23 robbery charges. For the record, Caron wasn’t Cornwall’s most infamous criminal - that dubious honour goes to Pretty Boy Levesque - but he was a close second. He liked to say that he looked at banks the way many guys looked at girls in mini-skirts. Or, as renowned Depression-era bank robber Alvin “Creepy” Karpis explained when asked why he robbed banks, “Because that is where the money is”.” Caron, who had a Grade 7 education and may have had untreated attention deficit
disorder, got his criminal career off to an early start in the 1950s at 16 when he was sentenced to reformatory by a Cornwall judge for stealing some fishing tackle from an east-end store. A couple of years later he graduated to the big league’s: the federal prison system, kick started with a stay at Kingston Penitentiary which housed some of the country’s most hardened and violent criminals. It was a barbaric, sadistic environment for a teen-ager. During his 24 years in the federal prison system, from the 1950s to the 1970s, Caron racked up hundreds of days crammed into a stark solitary confinement cell, better known as “the hole”. Punishment often included the lash - a thick, leather strap - designed to break a prisoner and shock treatments. Somehow, Caron survived it all. The one useful thing he learned in prison was to write. Using copious notes scribbled during his days in federal lockups he wrote a book about the system and his experiences behind bars. He called it “Go Boy!”, prison slang for escaping. Not only did it become a best seller in 1978 but it earned him the prestigious Governor General’s Award and the support of people like journalist/TV personality/ author Pierre Berton ... and, for a time, celebrity status. It also put the spotlight on a prison system in need of reform. Caron often said that he never hurt anybody. However, a strong argument can be made that while the folks on the receiving end of his criminal acts were not physically injured many suffered emotionally. Lindsay said the documentary was not made to make Caron a hero. Instead, it shows how a man beat the odds and survived the brutality and depravity of

LSPS students, staff support Australian baby kangaroos

LONG SAULT, Ontario – Kindergarten students of Longue Sault Public School (LSPS) held a lemonade stand fundraiser on Friday, Jan. 17 in support of baby kangaroos impacted by the wildfires in Australia. Teacher Alison Eamon explained that while the students were recently learning about geography, specifically The Bahamas, one student accidentally mistook the Caribbean country for Australia. This mistake initiated a conversation about Australia, the current wildfires that are destroying homes and habitats across the country, and all the animals that are in need of rescue and support. The students quickly decided that they wanted to help the animals of Australia. “It was their idea,” Eamon said proudly. Eamon’s class, supported by Early Childhood Educator Dara Daye, decided to set up a good, old-fashioned lemonade stand to raise funds. Some students even wanted to donate their money earned from popcorn sales throughout the school year, which is already set to support the purchase of a new projector. The sweet beverage sales earned the class $215.15 which will be given to LSPS employee Karen Harquail who has already taken the initiative to create wildlife pouches. “I started making kangaroo pouches independently,” said Harquail, who was informed about the project through the
Canadian Animal Rescue Craft Guild. Locally based in Martintown, the Guild is reportedly working directly with Air Canada, which intends to promptly deliver supplies to rescue operations in Australia. Harquail started her work about one week ago and has already completed 10 pouches, along with 40 liners, and is also looking into creating pouches for bats. One pouch requires four liners. “I’ve been sewing for years but I haven’t done anything like this. I thought it would be a good idea,” said Harquail, expressing how she wanted to help the animals in any way, as their current situation is very unfortunate. With $215.15, Harquail will be able to buy 36 meters of fabric at Giroux Sewing Centre as the Centre is selling fabric at a discounted rate for anyone who is sewing for this initiative. Marsupial animals like kangaroos carry their young in pouches as it is essentially a life-support system for them, equivalent to placental mammal fetuses. Therefore, the need for baby kangaroo pouches is paramount for their survival. To see more photos of students enjoying their philanthropy and lemonade, as well as a video showing kangaroos in the same kind of pouches Harquail is making, visit Lounge Sault Public’s Facebook page.

L’Ombudsman nomme Kelly Burke nouvelle commissaire aux services en français
12 - Le mercredi 22 janvier, 2020
- Cornwall Express - www.cornwallseawaynews.com
COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE L’OMBUDSMAN
ONTARIO - L’Ombudsman Paul Dubé a annoncé aujourd’hui que Mme Kelly Burke s’est jointe à son Bureau en tant que nouvelle Commissaire aux services en français de l’Ontario. Mme Burke, ancienne sous-ministre adjointe et avocate dotée de plusieurs années d’expérience dans des postes de haut niveau au sein de la fonction publique de l’Ontario, notamment au ministère des Affaires francophones, commence à travailler dans ses nouvelles fonctions ce matin. « Des efforts considérables ont été faits pour trouver la meilleure personne au Canada capable de remplir ce rôle, et je suis convaincu que nous y sommes parvenus », a dit M. Dubé. « Je suis ravi d’avoir trouvé Mme Burke et je sais qu’elle se fera avec succès la championne des droits linguistiques que nous souhaitons tous avoir comme Commissaire. Nous avons de la chance d’avoir trouvé quelqu’un d’une telle envergure et d’une telle expérience en matière de leadership pour ce rôle. » Mme Burke sera un membre essentiel de l’Équipe de haute direction de l’Ombudsman, au niveau d’Ombudsman adjointe. « Avec ses compétences juridiques et sa vaste expérience du gouvernement, elle sera un atout considérable pour l’ensemble de notre Bureau », a dit l’Ombudsman. « Nous nous réjouissons à l’idée de travailler avec elle et nous sommes convaincus que les plus beaux jours des Services en français en Ontario ne sont pas révolus, mais à venir. » Complètement bilingue dans les deux langues officielles, Mme Burke a tout récemment occupé les fonctions de sous-ministre adjointe au ministère des Collèges et Universités. Auparavant, de 2014 jusqu’à janvier 2019, elle a travaillé au ministère des Affaires francophones en tant que sous-ministre adjointe et directrice générale de l’administration, faisant œuvre de sous-ministre par intérim durant une partie de 2015. Elle a joué un rôle déterminant dans des
projets comme la création d’un monument à Queen’s Park pour marquer le 400e anniversaire de la présence française en Ontario, ainsi que la mobilisation de la communauté pour un projet pilote visant à améliorer l’accès à la justice en français à Ottawa. Mme Burke a aussi occupé des postes de cadre supérieure au ministère du Procureur général, au ministère des Affaires intergouvernementales et au Secrétariat du renouveau démocratique, ainsi qu’au ministère des Services gouvernementaux et des Services aux consommateurs (Conseil de gestion du gouvernement, où elle a été notamment conseillère juridique des commissaires aux conflits d’intérêts et aux services en français de l’Ontario). Mme Burke est une avocate chevronnée en droit du travail et elle a travaillé comme enseignante en immersion française au début de sa carrière. « C’est un privilège de faire partie d’un organisme qui est renommé en tant qu’agent de changement positif », a dit Mme Burke du Bureau de l’Ombudsman. « Étant passionnément franco-ontarienne, j’ai sollicité ce rôle, car il m’offre une occasion unique de contribuer par mes connaissances et mon expérience à la promotion des droits linguistiques des francophones au sein d’un organisme renommé pour son efficacité. Sachant que je pourrai m’appuyer sur les connaissances expertes et les ressources du Bureau de l’Ombudsman, j’envisage avec enthousiasme ce que l’Unité des services en français pourra accomplir pour les francophones et les francophiles en Ontario. » Le 1er mai 2019, la loi provinciale a transféré les responsabilités de l’ancien bureau du Commissaire aux services en français à l’Ombudsman. « Bien que mon Bureau n’ait pas sollicité ce mandat, nous y voyons une occasion historique de renforcer le respect des droits linguistiques des francophones en Ontario, en poursuivant le travail accompli par le Bureau de l’ancien Commissaire », a dit M. Dubé. « Les francophones bénéficieront d’un organisme plus
Paul Dubé et Kelly Burke puissant et plus influent pour promouvoir leurs droits, et la nouvelle Commissaire œuvrera au sein d’un organisme plus vaste, doté de plus d’expérience, avec un mandat plus large. Elle sera proactive, très présente et ouverte à la communauté. « Le rôle de la Commissaire consiste à être une agente indépendante et efficace de changement positif. Il est aussi de prendre ardemment la défense des droits aux services linguistiques en français. Ayant joué un rôle essentiel dans la prestation de services en français, Mme Burke a déjà une solide connaissance des principaux intervenants, intéressés et enjeux. » L’Ombudsman est un officier indépendant et impartial de l’Assemblée législative de l’Ontario qui examine et règle les plaintes du public sur les organismes du gouvernement provincial, ainsi que sur les services en français, les services de protection de l’enfance, les municipalités, les universités et les conseils scolaires. L’Ombudsman n’infirme pas les décisions des représentants élus et n’établit pas de politique publique, mais il fait des recommandations pour garantir l’équité, la transparence et la responsabilisation dans l’administration. Ses recommandations ont été très majoritairement acceptées. En 2018-2019, son Bureau a reçu 27 419 plaintes, dont 61 % ont été réglées en deux semaines.
La saison de grippe est arrivée... Voyez quoi faire si vous l’attrapez COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LE BSEO CORNWALL, Ontario - La saison de la grippe maintenant arrivée, vous vous demandez peutêtre à quel point il deviendra nécessaire de consulter le médecin si vous l’attrapez. La plupart des gens qui attrapent la grippe ont des symptômes comme une fièvre, une toux, des douleurs musculaires, un mal de gorge et de la fatigue. Bien que la combinaison de ces symptômes puisse vous faire sentir très malade et durer bien au-delà d’une semaine, la meilleure chose à faire est de rester à la maison et prendre soin de vous en obtenant beaucoup de repos, en buvant beaucoup de liquide pour éviter de vous déshydrater et en prenant de l’ibuprofène ou de l’acétaminophène pour la douleur et la fièvre. En plus de vous donner la chance de récupérer, le repos à la maison vous permet d’éviter de rendre vos collègues malades. Si vos enfants sont malades, gardez-les à la maison pour éviter qu’ils propagent la grippe à l’école. Vous ou vos
enfants devriez rester à la maison jusqu’à ce que vous n’ayez plus de fièvre pendant 24 heures et que vous vous sentiez mieux en général. Évitez de transmettre la grippe aux membres de votre famille en vous lavant les mains souvent et en couvrant votre toux ou vos éternuements avec le bras au lieu de la main, et en gardant une distance de deux mètres entre vous et les autres. Lorsque vous êtes entièrement rétabli, ce serait une bonne idée de vous faire vacciner contre la grippe si vous ne l’avez pas déjà fait. Le vaccin est disponible chez votre fournisseur de soins, dans les pharmacies participantes ou au Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario. Bien que vous vous sentiez misérable quand vous avez la grippe, la maladie n’est habituellement pas une urgence. Le repos à la maison est habituellement le meilleur moyen de se remettre et d’éviter de la donner à d’autres. Toutefois, si les symptômes sont graves et qu’ils ne s’améliorent pas au bout de quelques jours, contactez
votre fournisseur de soins. Vous pouvez aussi appeler Télésanté Ontario (1-866-797-0000), où des professionnels de la santé peuvent répondre à vos questions au téléphone. Si vous ressentez soudain les symptômes indiqués ci-dessous, demandez à quelqu’un de vous conduire à l’urgence d’un hôpital ou appelez l’ambulance : Essoufflement Difficulté à respirer Lèvres qui deviennent bleues Grande faiblesse Battements de cœur rapides Confusion Évanouissement Pour en savoir davantage sur les façons de gérer la grippe, appelez le BSEO au 613-9331375 ou à 1-800-267-7120.

Dealing with clogged drains is no fun. Here are some simple precautions you can take to prevent them: Don’t pour grease down the kitchen sink - this is the biggest cause of clogged drains. When draining your sinks after washing dishes or anything with particals, always leave the drain catcher in the sink partly open to catch the dirt before it goes down the drain as you empty the sink. Always flush your drain for several minutes by running hot water through them after every use. Once per month, put two table spoons of baking soda in the drain opening and pour a cup of vinegar down the drain. This will help to keep your drains clear and smelling fresh. Flush with hot water after it sits for about 5 minutes.
Duties include cleaning of residents suites, common areas and laundry service. Require police check for vulnerable sector and TB test. Starting wage $15.25.

Something needs to be done about the road in front of the Cotton Mills in the East End. Cars should not be allowed to park on the south side of the street. There is hardly any room for two way traffic as is. Last week there was an 18 wheeler parked in front of the Cotton Mills on the north side of the street and it made the road too dangerous to get through. What if two cars tried to get around the truck at the same time. There was no room and no way to see each other. It is time for Council to either make that road a one-way street or prohibit parking in front of the Cotton Mills building all together.

Jane in Bonville is wondering, if anyone else has ever been crazy enough to rent a SNAKE, to unclog your drain. In my celler, you can plainly see the pipes. So it occurred to me instead of renting a useless snake, why not just cut out the whole pipe and replace that. Pipe and two connectors and glue. So much easier and cheaper. Worked for me. I never cease to amaze myself.!!!!!!!!

JOKE OF THE WEEK Did you hear about the middle school that voted to change their mascot? It was an agricultural area, but they wanted to be progressive and offer a female mascot. So, they had three choices, a female sheep, a female goat, and a female deer. After a long campaign, a series of debates, and a day of students voting yes or no on each, the principal stood before his students and announced that, in a unanimous vote, the new school mascot would be a female sheep. It seems that even after all the campaigning, debate, and division, the student body only had Ayes for Ewe.

Council explores promoting remote work NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.com
CORNWALL, Ontario – At their Jan. 13 meeting, Cornwall City Council passed a motion to look into how Cornwall can become friendlier for remote workers and the remote work industry as a whole. Councillor Justin Towndale put forward a motion asking city administration to create a report on a strategy to attract remote workers to Cornwall. The motion was seconded by Todd Bennett. “It is relatively new sector, but one that has yet to be tapped into by many municipalities,” Towndale said. “A lot of these tech firms are looking to higher workers that can work remotely so they don’t have to worry about overhead like office space.” Towndale pointed to the tech company Shopify, which has recently hired five new remote work employees in Cornwall and the councillor explained that at least one of them has used that opportunity to start their own
small business. “We have a reasonable cost of living, we are very well located,” Towndale explained. “With the cost of living growing in larger cities, now is the time. This doesn’t require any new infrastructure.” Councillor Todd Bennett stated that remote work was a way for Cornwall to diversify its economy while also possibly attracting new workers for more traditional jobs that are already here. “It is another opportunity to diversify our economy. We don’t want to get too reliant on one industry or another,” said Bennett. “Remote workers have spouses and those spouses will need jobs and we have a lot of vacancies right now. The more I see this, the more I think of it as the future. Let’s be bold.” Mayor Bernadette Clement concurred and said that she wanted to see Cornwall explore new opportunities. The motion passed unanimously and Council is expecting to receive administrations report on the matter at their Feb. 24 meeting.

CORNWALL, Ontario – Wednesday, Jan. 29 is the 10th annual Bell Let’s Talk Day in support of mental health awareness and suicide prevention. In celebration of Bell Let’s Talk Day, the local office of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), in partnership with le Centre de santé communautaire de l’Estrie will be holding an open house to help promote their men’s open support group, MenTALK. On the same day as the 10 year anniversary of Bell Let’s Talk Day, the MenTALK support group at the Centre de santé communautaire de l’Estrie will be celebrating its first year since its founding. As a part of the celebration, there will be several guest speakers who will share their life experiences with attendees of the open house. “If the stigma is guys don’t talk, we will be having at least four guys come and talk honestly about their experiences,” said Ivan Labelle, one of the MenTALK facilitators. MenTALK meets twice a week on Tuesday mornings from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and Wednesday nights from 5:40 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The support group is billingual and only requirement to join the group is to be over the age of 18 and to identify as a man. Angele D’Alessio, Mental Health Promoter
with the CMHA said that this support group provides an important service to the men of the region. “There was no opportunity for men to talk before this group,” she said. Labelle went on to explain that there is no restrictions on what can be discussed within the support group. “Our goal is for them to become prouder and more honourable men,” he said. The open house will be at the Centre de santé communautaire de l’Estrie and will start at 5:30 p.m. Light refreshments and food will be served and addition to the guest speakers, there will also be door prizes. D’Alessio said that all are welcomed to attend. “We want wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters to be welcome so that they are aware of this group too,” she sai.d Steven Douris, another Facilitator of the MenTALK group hopes that this event will encourage other men to join the conversation and get support when and where they need it. “I want to get the group moving more and let people know that we are here,” he said. Guests can register for the open house on Event Brite. They can also email mtf19@ gmail.com or call Ivan Labelle at 613-9373132 ext. 232 for more information.

OPINION Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words
NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM
One of my most ambitious plans to cross a large body of water was hatched in 1965. I was going to paddle solo across Lake Ontario, from Youngstown, NY to Toronto, in my 16-foot open canoe. If a 16-year old Marilyn Bell could swim it in 1954, a 16-year old Nick Wolochatiuk should be able to cross it by canoe in 1965. When I was free to set off, my ride to Youngstown, against his better judgment, gave me the thumbs up – but a week of thunderstorms intervened. I abandoned the wacky idea. Eighteen years later, in 1974, I got to cross an ocean, from Genoa, Italy to Boston,
Massachusetts. A 490-foot freighter, the Yugolinia Line’s Zvir, took me, my VW camper, and 41other passengers across in 14 days. Travel aboard a passenger-carrying freighter is not a cruise ship experience. Both vessels are pointed at the front end. That’s where all similarities end. Today’s cruise ships have more than a dozen decks. The Zvir’s could be counted on one hand. Today’s cruise ships typically accommodate over 3,600 passengers, vs. the Zvir’s 42. They’re over 1,100 feet in length vs. 490. The maximum width of a St. Lawrence Seaway lock is 75 feet. Cruise ships have a beam of over 184 feet vs. the Zvir’s 70. Enough comparing numbers. Here’s what it was like on the Zvir: only one dining room; menu choices: two - take it or leave it. Entertainment: run to the deck when other passengers report sightings of flying fish, whales, dolphins and sea birds. Enjoy gazing at the
ever-changing sea and sky. Muse upon life and work; reminisce about the previous13 months of exploring 17 countries of Europe and North Africa, 1,200 miles of cycling and 17,570 miles of driving; scribble great thoughts and make plans for que sera, sera. Rumour-mongering seemed to be a favourite pastime among the passengers. Every time a tidbit of news was overheard, it was liberally edited, embellished then passed on to the next eager ear. At night I sometimes slipped unnoticed into my VW camper. Even though it was completely cocooned by a tarp and sturdy cargo netting, its sliding door allowed stealthy entry. Inside, I had my very own source of news, a shortwave radio. I remember an authoritative BBC voice announcing, “Today, more than a dozen travellers on a Munichbound train were killed by a terrorist bomb that exploded in a tunnel near Bologna.” That news was not consoling, but fresh popcorn
and the snugness of my little retreat on wheels cheered me up. No one walking the deck could detect the hiss of my propane stove and the crackling corn, masked by the pounding of the waves and the throb of the ship’s diesels. I continued enjoying what had been my little nest for the many months on the road. Any island-hopping Caribbean Carnival or Disney cruise would not have made me nearly as happy as I was on the cargo ship Zvir. I’ll never pass up an opportunity to cross any large body of water. And then there were sightings of gulls, followed by the very first marker buoy since Gibraltar. After that came the pilot boat. The next morning I’d be in Boston. 37 years later, in 2011, I crossed the Atlantic again, in style aboard the mammoth Royal Caribbean Cruise Line’s Liberty of the Seas. That’s a completely different story, one for another day.
