Rain needed to make canoe race a quick one this year: organizers more easier. Last year’s event wasn’t a particularly high flow, but that didn’t stop the participants from coming out in near-record numbers - and the fans. “Martintown was amazing last year,” said Deslandes. “There was a real fair-like atmosphere with spectators lined up near the old mill, waiting for the canoers to ‘shoot-the-dam’. “The participants really enjoy that. They told us the fans were cheering all around the course and that really added to their day.” The canoe race, has expanded significantly over the years, and now offers multiple categories from recreation to pro-class. Canoes and Kayaks are welcome to join. The event, which is produced by the Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA) is sponsored this year by Emard Brothers Lumber. More information and online registration can be found on the RRCA’s website at http://www.rrca.on.ca/.

CORNWALL, Ontario – If we don’t get some rain or snow leading up to the 44th edition of the Raisin River Canoe Race, things could be pretty slow on the big day. While a major winter storm was brewing last week, the race is still nearly two weeks away on April 10. “It could be a slow race…it could also mean we move the starting of the race down a little bit – downstream,” said co-organizer Lissa Deslandes, regulations officer with the Raisin Region Conservation Area. “We’re still kind of hoping for some precipitation.” Phil Barnes, the other co-organizer of the race, said the April 10 date was set in hopes of taking advantage of a typical spring melt. “Historically, April 10 would be the best day to have the race, that’s usually when the water peaks,” he said. “The Raisin [River] is flashy though, so a good spring rain or two the week before, and the water levels will come back.” The race is held every spring. Paddlers start at St. Andrew’s West and complete the 30-km trek through Martintown and down to Williamstown. The race date is usually timed to coincide with the peak flows of the spring runoff - the swift current makes paddling all the

BEST SELECTION IN THE SEAWAY VALLEY - OVER 100 UNITS IN STOCK

6480819

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall is losing one of its grocery stores. It was announced to staff Monday that Metro, located on Vincent Massey Drive, will be shuttered in eight weeks, said sources. Mark Bernhardt, spokesperson for the company, confirmed the news and said the move was based on economics. “The reason for the closure is that the store was not able to meet sales targets in this market,” he said. “The decision was prompted also by the fact that the lease was expiring.” The decision means nearly 70 people will be out of a job. Some 17 full-time people are employed at the Metro in Cornwall. “We are not aware of any future uses for the store locations, and that is all the information we have available at this time,” added Bernhardt.

Rumours have run rampant in recent weeks concerning the future of the store. Two weeks ago Seaway News reached out to Metro concerning a potential closure, but at that time spokespeople indicated they were not prepared to discuss rumours. The store has undergone a number of different brands over the years, including A&P, Loeb and Super C to name a few.

St. John Ambulance could close in Cornwall Todd Lihou

todd.lihou@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall is in danger of losing its St. John Ambulance service. Officials with the charity that provide firstaid responders at local fairs and sporting events told Seaway News Tuesday the branch could close before the end of the year if more revenue isn’t found. “The next three to six months are critical,” said Michele Brunette, board chair for the local St. John branch, which has its office on Sydney Street in Cornwall. “It’s quite upsetting because the volunteer groups are in such a good place right now.” Decision-makers with the agency will sit down with Cornwall people in June to go over the books, and again three months later to

determine in the local branchPHARMACIE can remain viable. PHARMACY In that time Brunette said a business plan is being put in place to augment revenue streams and increase fundraising activities. There are about 20 first-aiders who attend community events through St. John Ambulance, and are ready to help in the event of an emergency. There are also 10 therapy dog teams that visit shut-ins in the area through St. John. Brunette said the agency is often hamstrung because it’s a charity that must operate a business component to stay viable. Some organizers of community events that employ the St. John Ambulance Service provide donations – but it’s not always enough. “Unfortunately some organizers will give a little bit, but we still end up paying some funds from our own pockets. And some won’t give us

We’re not in the business of making money… but people have to help us for what it costs to put the ambulance on the road and put uniforms on the back of volunteers and pay for equipment.” St. John’s also faces increased competition for the first-aid instructions it provides to local residents. “The bottom line is always important so companies will go for the best bang for their buck,” she said. “They want the class to be as Some training work is completed by St. short and concise as possible and they want to John Ambulance volunteers in this photo satisfy their requirements.

Could be summer before Nativity will reopen for services: diocese admin Todd Lihou todd.lihou@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – It could be this summer before an aged church in Cornwall is open again for services. Nativity Co-Cathedral in Cornwall is going to require extensive reinforcement of its choir loft before the facility can be safely opened to the public, the Diocese of Alexandria-Cornwall confirmed Thursday. The co-cathedral was closed to public services before Christmas when it was found that the choir loft may require repair work. “The engineering report has now been generated and indicates that the choir loft does indeed require structural reinforcement,” the

diocese said in a statement. Pierre Aube, the diocese’s administrator, said in an interview a request for proposal will likely be issued next month, and contractors can then submit their plans (and costs) to complete the repair work. Aube estimated it could take as long as two months, once work begins, to complete repairs. “They’re going to require some major work here,” he said. “We want to make absolutely sure this thing is absolutely safe. “We need to shore it up.” Once the required corrective measures are implemented, the Co-Cathedral will reopen. In the meantime, the parishioners of Nativity continue to attend Mass at St.-Félix-de-Valois and Sainte-Croix.

Manchots au chaud, illustré par Oussama Mezher, inspiré d’une histoire vraie. Il y a quelques années, un paquebot, un pétrolier, s’est échoué près des côtes de la Nouvelle-Zélande. Des manchots se sont retrouvés couverts de pétrole. Des gens s’étaient mobilisés pour confectionner des chandails sans manche, question que les manchots ne se lavent pas le plumage, s’empoisonnant du même coup. «J’ai écrit un album, une histoire fictive à partir de cela», précise l’auteure.

Lors de la semaine du 7 au 11 mars 2016, l’école Rose des Vents soulignait la semaine de la francophonie. Le but de cette semaine était de célébrer notre amour de la langue et de la culture française. Cette année, la semaine de la francophonie avait comme thème: ¨Notre diversité, une richesse à partager!¨. À chaque jour, la radio scolaire diffusait une chanson différente. Aussi, les élèves ont expérimenté différents défis. Cette année, on a aussi écouté une capsule vidéo par jour. Cette capsule a comme objectif de nous faire réaliser que l’on parle parfois en utilisant des expressions erronées. Alors, peut-être qu’un des objectifs était de nous corriger. Lundi, on a écouté la chanson ¨Le temps s’arrête¨ par Swing, le défi était la phrase malade et la capsule était ¨C’est mon¨. Mardi, la chanson était ¨Un coup sur mon coeur¨ par Marc Dupré, le défi était de dessiner l’expression: ¨Attache ta tuque¨ et la capsule était ¨Ça regarde comme¨. Mercredi, on a diffusé la chanson ¨Papaoutai¨ par Stromae, il y avait le concours de vire langue dans les classes et la capsule du jour était ¨Je cherche pour¨. En passant, saviez-vous ce qu’est un vire langue? C’est une phrase de mots créée dans un but de faire rire et qui est souvent difficile à prononcer. Comme par exemple: Un pâtissier qui pâtissait chez tapissier qui tapissait demanda un jour au tapissier qui tapissait ; vaut il mieux pâtisser chez un tapissier qui tapisse ou tapisser chez un pâtissier qui pâtisse? Lors du jeudi, la chanson entendue était ¨Je suis le vent¨ par Marie-Mai, c’était la journée de la demi-finale du concours de vire langue pour déterminer les deux finalistes par niveau et la capsule était ¨Je sais¨. Lors du vendredi, on a écouté la chanson ¨Pur laine et colorée¨ par l’Écho d’un

vacuuming

Sharon Fortier

www.exsellenceteamrealty.ca

owner/operator shar’s private cleaning services

Shar’s Tip of the Week Nothing will extend the life of carpets (and for that matter, other furnishings) more than faithful vacuuming. Regular vacuuming removes the dirt and grit that grind and wear away at carpet fibers as we walk over the area. Never use the carpet power head on wood or hard-surface floors. This could create scratches on softer hardwood, use a plain floor brush attachment to vacuum. Take your time and let the vacuum work for you. The power head needs time to loosen the dirt and the air flow needs time to suck it up.

OPINION

Council compensation continues to be a thorn for some Todd Lihou Word around the municipal campfire is the election issue that prompted the most change around the council table during the 2014 campaign is continuing to make noise at city hall. Salaries. Salaries. Salaries. There is still grumbling in some circles that members of city council are not paid enough for the work/time they must put into the job. You’ll remember it was the previous city council that voted itself a massive pay raise that would have seen the mayor pull in $75,000 year (instead of less than $60,000) and councillors would have ballooned to $25,000 (they get just shy of $16,000 now). Expense accounts were also included. Voters were angry, and when many running for office in 2014 said they would reverse the decision about half of city council was replaced with new faces. But some of those new faces (and others who have been around for a while) are still angling for a raise and there is plenty of behind-the-scenes whispers about this subject - including some who complained the most about the raise approved nearly two years ago. The problem, for those who want more money, will be how to get a raise on the books without upsetting an electorate that was clearly having none of it just 16 months ago. The Municipal Act, I’m told, dictates that a municipal council must review compensation at least once every four years. So it’s likely that this iteration of city council will have to go through the motions before the next municipal election. How will it vote? The more I hear from sources around the council table, the more I am convinced there will be a serious push to get more money out of taxpayers for members of city council. I’ve opined in the past that everyone deserves a raise…even city councillors. The problem, as it almost always is, boils down to optics. The 2014 raise was too much, too soon, and too close to an election to gain any real traction. It says here if council hadn’t gone for such a giant-sized raise, which and I and others could have supported, many of the current members would be making more than they do right now. It was too easy for council candidates to

play off the anger of voters demanding change to turn the raise into an election issue that resulted in significant change. If I was a city councillor I would propose that council make it permanent that compensation be discussed at the start of the third year of its four-year mandate – pretty much dead centre of its term. Such a scenario is far enough away from election dates to keep politicking to a minimum, while also fulfilling the requirements of the Municipal Act and being fair to all involved. Former mayor Bob Kilger clearly hit the mark when he suggested there’s “never a good time” to discuss the compensation paid out to politicians. Critics will criticize, regardless of the date on the calendar. But maybe there’s a date that makes the issue easier for everyone.

EXPENSES vs. TAX BREAKS Of the $16,000 (or so) that councillors rake in, one-third of it is tax free. One has to ask, why? The suggestion is that the tax-free component is in place to mitigate the expenses that city councillors can wrack up. MPs and MPPs get the same deal. But it begs the question...why do some of these same politicians, including council members here in Fun City, have expense accounts? That expense account is in place, apparently, to cover PR costs and miscellaneous fees for everything from golf tournaments to chamber of commerce dinners and association dues. Why doesn’t the tax-free component of their salary cover those costs, as it is designed to? As one member of council suggested to me this week: “We’re double-dipping. It’s legal… but we’re double-dipping.” The way to fix this is simple – do away with the expense account. Council is likely to vote itself another raise, so when that takes place I say the expense account can be dropped. These ‘events’ that council members attend are often labelled as something one is expected to go to as an elected official. But I bet taxpayers wouldn’t care a fig if Councillor ‘X’ attended the chamber awards, hospital golf tournament or stayed at home to watch the hockey game. When councillors attend these events it’s about being seen…which is another form of

Continuous infestation of Ash Borer disease Editor: Municipalities are being bombarded with costs associated with ash borer disease due to inappropriate follow-ups! First of all it has been proven that this disease occurred on wooden containers that came from the orient! The federal government that allowed these containers come into Canada, therefore the federal government should pay for this under the Canada shipping act!. Municipalities are wrongly paying for this and

it will only increase to ineffective and the greed of attempt to reclaim the cut wood for lumber uses. It can NOT and must not continue to lay in open air dump sites. The federal government should be sued by association of municipalities for 100% reimbursements all of costs associated with this major on going hazard! Let us demand immediate action! This problem has become a major environmental disaster. David Windsor, Cornwall

States. Thank God we won the War of 1812. ... Concern for safety in wake of the terrorist attacks has shelved a trip to Europe by a group of Brockville high school students. Instead, they are looking at an American destination. A suggestion: Stay away from Chicago. Or a Donald Trump rally. FROM THE ARCHIVES A strong argument could be made that Cornwall has had two historic municipal elections. One elected the city’s youngest mayor, Ed Lumley. The other saw the defeat of the city’s longest serving mayor, Aaron Horovitz. Before he lost to Emile Menard on Dec. 3, 1956, the Romanian-born Horovitz, one of the first Jewish mayors in Canada, had held the position for 18 years. He wore the unbeatable label. It was the first election for the “new” Cornwall. Annexation of a large part of Cornwall Township became official on Jan. 1, 1957. Menard had served as township reeve. It was a hotly contested election with Horovitz winning in the “old” city, while Menard was strong in the township. A record 65% of eligible voters cast ballots thanks to a huge turnout in Cornwall Township. In one Ward Six poll, west of Brookdale Avenue, 500 voters of the 520 registered cast their ballots. Menard scored huge margins of victory in the region east of Marlborough Street. Menard, an east Cornwall businessman, was a veteran township politician who became reeve in 1954 when he defeated Dr. Elzear Emard. In a strange twist of fate, both men were dead within a year of the election. Horovitz died of a heart attack on May 13. Menard died on Aug. 12 after falling in his home. He was succeeded by Ald. L. G. (Archie) Lavigne.

even cancelled trips of delegates attending conferences in foreign countries. In Tanzania, presidents can only hold office for two terms. Magufuli has also introduced many belttightening measures. The president has banned government officials from sending Christmas and New Year cards paid by public funds. He cancelled Independence Day celebrations and ordered the public money to be spent on a clean-up campaign to fight the outbreak of cholera. Other money has been spent to buy beds for hospitals. Meanwhile Zimbabwe’s life-long president Robert Mugabe spent nearly $1 million on a party organized by

supporters to celebrate his 92nd birthday. This celebration was an affront to ordinary Zimbabweans and the country hit hard by drought. Mugabe is the only leader the country has known since its independence from Britain in 1960. The severe drought has left more than three million people in Zimbabwe in desperate need of food. Zimbabwe has appealed for nearly $1.6 billion from other countries to pay for grain and food. Mugabe’s lavish birthday bashes have become an annual pilgrimage for loyalists and supporters. Soon after independence, Zimbabwe had one of Africa’s most promising economies.

A tale of two African presidents OPINION COLUMN  SULTAN JESSA This column is about the tale of two African presidents and what their priorities are. Most African countries got rid of their colonial masters in the 1959’s and 1960’s. Many of these countries are afflicted with abject poverty, lack of medical facilities and proper education. Being born in Tanzania and having spent most of my adult life in that country, I am impressed with harsh but needed steps to improve the lives of ordinary citizens. Tanzania’s new President John Magufuli – better known as a bulldozer – can teach a lot of things to free-spending African

leaders. Since assuming power, Magufuli has put a stop to wastage of public money on foreign junkets. All over the continent, Africans are singing praises of the president who knows where his country’s priorities lie. Legislators in Kenya, a neighbor to Tanzania, spend a whopping amount of money on foreign and domestic travels. This expenditure alone is enough to buy numerous radiotherapy machines and increase by seven times the number of cancer patients that would have access to radiotherapy treatment in the country. Tanzania’s President has ordered his cabinet and civil servants to restrict their travel abroad and has

A friend who made the list of six-figure wage earners complained that it isn’t fair to continue using $100,000 as the benchmark for public disclosure and the eye-rolling that it provokes. He pointed out, and rightly so, when inflation is factored in the $100,000 bar set by the Mike Harris government so long ago has become more like $140,000. Ah yes. But, and Preem Kathy agrees, for most working stiffs earning a paycheque in the cut-throat, take no prisoners private sector these days, and trying to keep the wolf from the door, $100,000 continues to be a lot of money. A heck of a lot of money. Especially in an income challenged community where the $20-an-hour non-public job is considered pretty good. This is when the “but it is cheaper to live here” line is used as an economic cushion that is somehow expected to make lower income earners feel better. What the Sunshine List exposes is the growing income gap between the upper middle class and those slipping farther down the middle class food chain, many of whom are falling farther behind the Sunshine List holdovers because of that seventh wonder of the world called compounding increases. It comes down to simple math. Two per cent of $100,000 is a lot more than 2% of $40,000. Now compound that 10 or 15 years.

Couture (Roger Comtois third, Don Lamorie second, Lew Stanley lead) won both six-end playoff games, edging out Gilles Viau (Ron Racine third, Peter McCauley second, Robert Leroux lead), who also took a 5-4-1 record into the playoff round. Jim Robinson was third and Gene Villeneuve finished fourth. ... With all the callups from the farm teams, the Leafs and Canadiens should be going with American Hockey League ticket prices. HERE AND THERE A person-on-the-street survey with this question could prove interesting: “What is the significance of Easter Monday?” ... Last week was hardly worth re-starting classrooms after the one-week March break. Thursday was a wash out when buses were cancelled then came the four-day Easter break. That worked out to three days of meaningful teaching time in a 17-day span. ...

NEWS Council dings taxpayers for $49k in PR, phones, food and fees Todd Lihou todd.lihou@tc.tc

City council spent nearly $50,000 on things like cell phones, public relations and food in 2015. Last year’s council expenses, detailed in a report that will be received by councillors Tuesday night, includes everything from the food bill ($5,440) to cell phone invoices ($5,657) and the breakdown of individual councillor expenses. Remuneration and honorariums are also included in the document. Coun. Carilyne Hebert expensed the most compared to her city council colleagues. In addition to her $15,683 salary Hebert had $1,629 in expenses, which includes $1,080 for miscellaneous expenses

and $548 in public relations. She said much of that money comes from purchasing office supplies to attending public events and paying for tickets and other fees. She used the Cornwall Chamber of Commerce business awards as an example. “You’re expected to participate in a lot of community events and fundraisers,” she said. “My regular job doesn’t permit to be able to.” Councillors each have a budget of $2,500 a year for personal expenses. “If I needed to really spend that kind of money it’s not a problem,” said Hebert. “We’re not highly paid.” Coun. Mark MacDonald was next with some $1,589 in expenses last year. Much of that was

spent in the first six months of 2015, including when he spent $790 on Cornwall scrapbooks. He told this newspaper in December his plan is to hand out the books during this term. “I took all the ones that were left,” he said at the time of the books that were produced, in conjunction with Cornwall’s economic development department, and features old photographs of the city. “I’m going to use them over the next four years as souvenirs for people.” “I’m very proud that council as a whole is very cognizant of that,” said Coun. David Murphy, who expensed $1,373 in 2015. “Often times I’m asked to represent the municipality at some function. “We have our expense account for that

reason.” Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy hit the city up for nearly $60,000 in 2015, which includes his $51,541 salary, a $1,920 car allowance, a $4,938 RRSP and $1,382 in expenses. He also handed out $2,443 in souvenirs. Those on the low end of the spectrum include Coun. Denis Carr, who cost the city just $1,558 in 2015. He was appointed to council towards the end of the year following Brock Frost’s resignation. Coun. Claude McIntosh was the biggest spendthrift of the full-time councillors last year – he pocketed his $15,683 salary but spent just $149 on municipal expenses.

CCH is currently working on a leading-edge integration project that will transform the way Addiction and Mental Health Services are delivered in Cornwall, SD&G and Akwesasne. This revolutionary model of care will be the first of its kind in Eastern Ontario, and position CCH as a leader for our province once again. Our hospital will be able to provide addiction and mental health services across the age spectrum from children to seniors, all under one roof. These issues are not only debilitating for the sufferer; they take a heavy societal toll as well. Currently, access to mental health care in the Champlain health region is poor and costs are high. This project will significantly improve these issues by saving costs and meeting more demand. Co-locating and integrating services will have many benefits.

L’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall (HCC) travaille actuellement à un projet d’intégration d’avant-garde qui transformera la façon dont les services de santé mentale et de lutte contre les dépendances sont offerts à Cornwall, dans les Comtés unis de Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry ainsi qu’à Akwesasne. Ce modèle de soins révolutionnaire sera le premier du genre dans l’Est ontarien et, une fois de plus, l’HCC sera ainsi un chef de file provincial. Notre hôpital sera en mesure d’offrir des services de santé mentale et de lutte contre les dépendances à tous les groupes d’âge, de l’enfance à l’âge d’or, sous un seul toit. Ces problèmes sont débilitants pour les personnes touchées, tout en ayant un effet important pour la société. Actuellement, les soins de santé mentale dans la région sanitaire de Champlain ne sont pas facilement accessibles et ils sont coûteux. Ce projet améliorera de façon importante la situation en réduisant les coûts et en répondant davantage à la demande. Le regroupement et l’intégration des services seront avantageux à bien des points de vue.

In short, they are the perfect way to ensure your backyard experience is ideal in every outdoor season for many years to come. They can be attached to homes to cover decks and patios or built as stand-alone covers in any corner of the yard. If you are looking for more than just a patio or deck cover, Natural Light Patio Covers has five different ways to fully enclose the area. From screened rooms to sliding Lumon glass walls that preserve your view, they can create a three season room that will allow you to extend your outdoor season into the spring and fall months.

here’s nowhere anyone would rather be on a beautiful summer day than on the backyard deck, in a comfortable chair, sipping a cool drink. And yet, this perfect scenario can so easily be spoiled if the sun is too hot and too direct. There are dozens of solutions to block the sun, but nothing is as effective or rewarding as a Natural Light Patio Cover. With almost magical qualities, the covers block all U.V. rays and 75 per cent of infrared rays (which create heat). Now you can protect your family and furniture from the elements, yet stay comfortably cool. And when the weather shifts, you’re still protected from the wind and rain. Natural Light Patio Covers use Acrylite panels to filter out heat and U.V. while letting the natural light shine in, to create the perfect patio atmosphere. There isn’t a giant solid awning casting a shadow not only on the deck but on the room behind the adjacent windows. There isn’t a large umbrella that has to be folded down every time the wind picks up. And there isn’t a retractable sunshade that has to be cranked into position every time someone wants to sit outside. Natural Light Patio Covers are permanent structures, engineered specifically for the Ontario climate to take the wind and snow without

Competition heats up for Kinsmen Pizza Party Adam Brazeau

“It’s the way you make it,” said Liolios, who took over the First Street East pizzeria in 1984. In 2015, Louis’ was crowned Kinsmen Pizza Party champion for the third straight year, while second place went to 2-4-1 Pizza, and Bobby’s Place took third. But the crowd had their say, too. The People’s Choice top three: Louis’ Pizzeria, Bobby’s Place, and Best Famous Pizza. “Good luck to everyone,” said Liolios. “I’m going to do what I’ve always done, because it’s up to the people to decide who makes Cornwall’s best pizza.” Louis’ Pizzeria will compete against 2-4-1 Pizza, Bobby’s Place, Boston Pizza, Domino’s

adam.brazeau@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ont. – If anyone has figured out a recipe for success, it’s Louis’ Pizzeria owner Steve Liolios. The popular Cornwall eatery will be defending its crown at the 10th annual Kinsmen Pizza Party at the Best Western Parkway Inn in Cornwall on Friday (April 1). Doors open at 6 p.m. After serving food to Cornwallites for over four decades, the 68-year-old restaurant chef doesn’t rely on a secret ingredient or cheesy gimmicks.

Pizza, Pizza Pizza, Milano’s, and Best Famous Pizza. Dessert pizza will be served complimentary of Dairy Queen Grill & Chill Cornwall. “Cornwall has an appetite for generosity and all-dressed pizza,” said event chair Dan Carbonnell, an active member of the service club. “This is a fun, family-friendly event about enjoying the city’s legendary pizza and giving back to the community. But tickets are running out.” The Cornwall Kinsmen Club’s annual Pizza Party has raised over $121,535 for local nonprofits, youth programs, and other local charit-

able initiatives in the last decade. This year, proceeds will be sliced up several ways to the Longue Sault Public School Spec Ops Program (a fitness and character development program), Koala Place Child and Youth Advocacy Centre in Cornwall, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cornwall & District, and the family of Sean Cowan, an Eamer’s Corners Public School student battling leukemia. The event is sponsored in part by TC Media - Cornwall Seaway News. Tickets are $25 and can be found at Scotiabank Cornwall and by emailing dcarbonnell@cogeco.ca.

Buying A New Roof? Consider This… Falls on construction projects continue to be the main cause of workplace injuries in Ontario. Roofing is dangerous work; even a small slip can have serious consequences. So it’s very important to ask about health and safety precautions and certifications before you hire a roofing contractor. Did you know? • By law, workers must be trained in fall protection and must be protected at all times whenworking above 3 metres (10 feet). • Employers must train workers in workplace safety hazards. Before signing a contract ask the contractor about worker safety

• Is the contractor registered with the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board? (WSIB administerscompensation and no-fault insurance.) • Have the workers been trained to work safely? • Will workers be wearing fall protection equipment? If the answer to any of these questions is no, look for another contractor. Home renovation problems are consistently among the top consumer complaints in Ontario Take the following precautions before you sign a contract: • Get written estimates for the work.

Generally, three estimates will provide enough information,but get as many as you need to feel comfortable making a final decision. • Ensure the estimates contain everything you ask for. Assume anything not listed is not includedin the price. • Before signing the contract, ensure you fully understand what you are signing for and what is included. • Ensure the contract covers all discussed terms. This should include a breakdown of all costsand applicable taxes. A “hand shake” promise may not be enforceable if it’s not included in awritten contract. • Avoid contractors who offer tax-free deals.

15-minute tips that make your house a home Squeaky Door Hinges Spray a little WD-40 onto the hinges, moving the door back and forth to work in the lubricant. Or try rubbing the hinges with petroleum jelly. If these tricks don’t work, lift the hinge pins about halfway and lubricate them with three-in-one oil, using a rag to catch drips. Squeaky Floor For a temporary fix, sprinkle talcum powder over the noisy area and sweep it into the cracks. Be sure to remove any traces of powder if you’re ever going to refinish the floor. Peeling Wallpaper With a knife, smear wallpaper paste onto a piece of writing paper. Rub the paper against the underside of the peeling section. Press the wallpaper against the wall. Slide the writing paper out and smooth away bubbles with a clean cloth. Worn Caning A little sagging over time is natural but reversible. To tighten caning back up, use a sponge to wet the underside with warm water.

Let dry slowly overnight. Repeat if necessary. Dusty Chandelier Allow the fixture to cool. Wear a pair of white cotton gloves-one dry, one dampened with glass cleaner. (For crystal, use one part rubbing alcohol to three parts distilled water.) Wipe each prism with the damp glove, then the dry one. Stained Tub Combine equal amounts of cream of tartar and baking soda with enough lemon juice to make a paste. Rub the mixture into the stain with your fingers or a soft cloth. Let sit for a half hour, then rinse well with water. Stuck Sliding Windows A little silicone spray lubricant (sold at hardware stores) will grease the skids. Spray it onto a rag, then wipe along the tracks, whether they’re metal, wood, or plastic. Hard-to-Remove Decals Spray the decals and the surrounding areas with WD-40, lifting the edges to get underneath, if possible. Let sit, then gently scrape away the decal with the edge of a credit card. Degrease

the tub with liquid dishwashing soap. Slamming Door Soften the slam of a door by affixing a few pieces of peel-and-stick foam weather stripping around the doorstop. Or get a wide rubber band and wrap it around the doorknobs on both sides, stretching it across the edge of the door. Don’t cover the latch. Hard-to-Remove Lightbulb Press the center of a foot-long strip of duct tape onto the middle of the bulb. Fold each loose end in half so it sticks onto itself. Gripping each end between your thumb and index finger, give a counterclockwise twist to loosen the bulb. Dry Cutting Board Revive your board by gently warming a bottle of pure mineral oil (available at drugstores) in a bowl of hot water, then wiping the oil onto the surface with a soft cloth. Wipe off the excess four to six hours later. Flattened Down Cushions Put them outside in the sun for a few hours, flipping them halfway through. (Be

careful-leaving them out too long may fade the fabric.) The sun will help evaporate the moisture that gets into the filling over time, and the cushions should plump up nicely. Scuffed Linoleum Rub the spot with white toothpaste and a dry cloth or with an eraser. Or spray WD-40 on a towel and rub lightly, making sure to degrease the area afterward with liquid dishwashing soap and water. Dirty Decanter Fill the decanter halfway with hot water, a few drops of liquid dishwashing soap, two tablespoons of white vinegar, and a cup of uncooked rice. Swirl the rice around for a few minutes to remove the residue, rinse with hot water, and air-dry. Tangled Extension Cords Cowgirls and sailors alike know the benefits of storing ropes neatly coiled. Follow their lead and keep extension cords tangle-free and contained inside a large plastic bucket when they’re not in use.

What home improvements are you planning?

30 - Thursday, March 31, 2016 - Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

Tackle the quick projects that are most timely Whether winter is coming or you’re considering projects in another season, some home improvements are more urgent than others— saving you money immediately or preventing devastating damage. Sometimes it only takes ten minutes or less to make simple changes around the house that boost your living space. Decide to DIY or not Even if you’re a weekend warrior with a wellstocked workshop, not all home improvement projects are suitable to do yourself (or at least, without the help of a professional). Know your limits, start small if you’re a beginner, and then keep calm and DIY on (if you so wish). Hone your home improvement skills Big projects or small, probably all of us could stand to learn some decent home repair or

home improvement skills. (All around the home, there are things we should never have to pay others to fix for us.) Learn Bob Villa-worthy skills and help others at the same time by volunteering or through free clinics and other resources. Turn to great reading resources and try starter projects too. If you get stuck on a project, iOS app Fountain will connect you to a home improvement expert to answer your question for $5. (Also, did you know we have a home improvement subblog here at Lifehacker called Workshop?) Find inspiration for your next home project Pinterest is your friend, homeowners. As is Houzz, This Old House, and BHG. Zillow Diggs is pretty neat because it not only shows you project photos, but cost estimates and contractors as well. You can also binge watch HGTV on Netflix, but we’re warning you, you may never leave the house again. Get the Right Tools You can’t really improve your home much with just your bare hands (you’ll need a multitool at least!). Equip your toolbox with the essential tools for any minor repair or major project, such as basic plumbing tools. Don’t forget your smartphone might be the best DIY tool in your kit, though, and, when all else fails, there’s duct tape. Find Money for Your Home Improvement Unfortunately, most home improvements

do not pay for themselves. If you can’t afford to finance the project in full with cash, know the different ways you can finance your home improvement without putting your home at risk. Also, if you know the difference between tax breaks you get for home repairs or home improvements, you can make the proper deductions at tax time and get some money back from your project. Similarly, if you’re paying private mortgage insurance, home improvements that increase the value of your home could help you eliminate that cost, which, although it doesn’t raise funds for your project, can reduce your housing expenses overall. Choose the Right Contractor About as important as finding a good dentist and finding a good therapist: Finding a responsible handyman or contractor. Horror stories of homeowners being scammed by contractors or having work done so shoddily that it cost thousands of dollars to redo (not to mention the money already spent) give me the shivers. Vet your contractors carefully: Get recommendations from friends, neighbors, and supply houses. Check for complaints against the contractor. Find out what licenses and permits they need. Check out the contractor’s insurance. Don’t skip this step! Meet with the contractor. Get quotes. Track the quote variables with a spreadsheet or other list.

Save Money on Your Home Improvement Projects The more money we save on one home improvement project, the more we have left for all the other ones we want to do. In addition to knowing the remodeling projects that offer the most bang for your buck, know which elements of a project you can splurge or skimp on—spend more on items that are hard to replace, such as the bathtub, but skimp on the faucet, for example, or spend more on a professional range if you’re a gourmet cook and save on the decorative tiles and flooring that look like premium materials. Have a Plan Last but not least, one of the worst things you can do when it comes to home improvements is to start a project without the major details—cost, time, materials, and design— as realistic as possible from the start. Nothing costs more than having to “change horses in midstream” (e.g., you want to move the fridge somewhere else now or want to change your tile choice). Use design tools to conceptualize your project and add a healthy buffer (1015% more) to your time and financial budget to account for the inevitable surprises.

Choose the improvements that add the most value to your home If you were offered $100,000, no strings attached, what home improvements would you do? Chances are, a long laundry list of changes come to mind, from refinishing the hardwood floors to adding a new bathroom. Some home improvements, however, are more likely to increase your home’s value than others. Although you shouldn’t think of your home as an investment, with limited home improvement funds, it’s good to consider whether a project has a decent return on investment.

Some home improvement ideas that are easy on the pocketbook So buy a few gallons and get busy! Home Improvements: $100-$200 Tip 1: Plant a tree. If you aren’t planning to sell your house today, plan for the future with a landscaping improvement that will mature over time. Plant shade trees — not only will mature trees make your home more desirable but a fully grown, properly placed tree can cut your cooling costs by as much as 40 percent. Mature landscaping is also good for the environment, providing a necessary habitat for wildlife while adding valuable curb appeal to your home. Tip 2: Low-maintenance landscaping saves you money now, adds value when you sell. No question that shrubs and colorful plants will add curb appeal to any home, but when shopping at your local garden center, make sure that you “think green.” Purchase plants that are native to your region or plants that are droughttolerant; these require less water and maintenance, which means more savings to you and more green in your wallet. Tip 3: Add a money-saving luxury. Speaking of water, here’s another way to tap into extra savings; install a water filtration system in your kitchen. Not only do these systems purify your water, they will also lower your grocery bills — no more bottled water. A water filtration system is an inexpensive addition, but it’s the sort of small luxury that homebuyers love. Home Improvements: $200-$400 Tip 1: A messy lawn creates a bad first impression.

The old adage that you only get one shot at old plumbing and lighting fixtures or adding a first impression is true. So, make the interior a new tile floor — will guarantee a lot of bang of you home shine from the moment someone for your buck and give your bath an updated, walks through the door. For less than $400, hire modern look. Tip 2: Any kitchen update equals added a cleaning service for a thorough top-to-bottom scrubbing. Even if you clean your home value. The same rule applies in the kitchen. You regularly, there are nooks and crannies that you may miss or overlook. Let a cleaning service do don’t have to start from scratch to create a the dirty work to really make your home winning recipe. For maximizing your home’s value, kitchen updates are key. Start by swapsparkle. Tip 3: Visually increase your home’s ping out just one item, such as a stained sink or ancient microwave for shiny new stainless square footage. The size of your home dramatically affects models. Even small kitchen updates will add the value, but square footage isn’t the only big value to your home. Tip 3: Replace any worn carpets or area space that counts. Visual space or how large a home feels also counts. The key is to make rugs. Take a look at your home’s soft flooring. each room in your house feel larger. Replace heavy closed draperies with vertical blinds or Are your carpets and area rugs stained or shutters to let light in — a sunny room feels worn? Nothing turns buyers off more than the larger and more open. Also, try adding a sin- thought that they will immediately need to gle large mirror to a room to visually double replace all of the flooring in a home. Ideally, the space. Finally, clear the clutter. The more you may want to replace them all, but if a limclutter, furniture and plain old stuff you have ited budget puts a snag in that plan, start by in a room, the more cramped it will feel. For replacing the carpet in the room that shows less than $400, add an attractive shelving unitT:4” the most wear and tear and replace the others to an underused space and store your clutter as your finances allow.

Home Improvements: Under $100 Tip 1: Spend an hour with a pro. Invite a realtor or interior designer over to check out your home. Many realtors will do this as a courtesy, but you will probably have to pay a consultation fee to a designer. Check with several designers in your area; a standard hourly fee is normally less than $100, and in an hour they can give you lots of ideas for needed improvements. Even small suggested improvements, such as paint colors or furniture placement, can go a long way toward improving the look and feel of your home. Tip 2: Inspect it. Not every home improvement is cosmetic. Deteriorating roofs, termite infestation or outdated electrical systems — you can’t fix it if you don’t know it’s broken. Hire an inspector to check out the areas of your home that you don’t normally see. They may discover hidden problems that could negatively impact your home’s value. Small problems (such as a hidden water leak) can become big, expensive problems quickly; the longer you put off repairs, the more expensive those repairs will be. Tip 3: Paint, paint, paint. One of the simplest, most cost-effective improvements of all is paint! Freshly painted rooms look clean and updated — and that spells value. When selecting paint colors, keep in mind that neutrals appeal to the greatest number of people, therefore making your home more desirable. On average, a gallon of paint costs around $25, leaving you plenty of money to buy rollers, painter’s tape, drop cloths and brushes.

The family of Carol-Ann Rattray (Ross) would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the many, many friends and family for their expressions of sympathy following the passing of Carol-Ann on January 7, 2016. Thank you to those that were kind enough to bring food to the house, all of those that made donations to the Dr. Mark Clemons Research Fund at the Ottawa Cancer Institute, other charities, and sent flower bouquets. I would like to add a personal expression of appreciation to the pall bearers, singers, fiddler, members of the Glengarry Pipe Band and Ottawa Police Pipe Band that played at the funeral service in Martintown. Also, a special thanks to Mr. Robert Burnie for taking on the most difficult task of delivering the Eulogy. Thank you to those doctors and nurses both here in Cornwall, and in Ottawa, for their compassion and help over many months, and to the palliative care team during her short stay.

South Glengarry councillor resigns seat to take new job Todd Lihou todd.lihou@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – South Glengarry Coun. Joyce Gravelle is leaving office. The township announced Wednesday morning she will be resigning her seat. Gravelle later said a new career option will place her in a conflict of interest if she remains on council, so she decided to offer her resignation. The sepcifics of the new job have not been disclosed. “It has been a privilege for me to have served the citizens of South Glengarry at the municipal council table for the last 10 years.,” she said. “This time on council has broadened my understanding of the municipal process and has helped me better appreciate the amazing community we live in. “Unfortunately, I must reluctantly resign

from council to take advantage of a career opportunity which would otherwise place me in a conflict of interest. It is a decision that I make with a very heavy heart. However, I will continue to fully participate in the life of our community working with various organizations and groups and as a volunteer.” South Glengarry Mayor Ian McLeod thanks Gravelle for her 10 years as a councillor. “She will be sadly missed around the council table and we wish her the best of luck as she pursues this new opportunity,” said McLeod. Gravelle said she may return to council in the future, if the right conditions present themselves. South Glengarry CAO Bryan Brown said procedures for filling the vacant position in Gravelle’s experience around the council the near future. Council can opt to hold a by-election, or table will be missed. Council will be reviewing its options and appoint someone to the vacant seat.

CORNWALL, Ontario – If it’s related to the St. Lawrence River, Kate Schwartz knows something about it, and she loves to share her knowledge. The 18-year-old hosted the first ‘Discovery Science’ March Break event in Cornwall. The free afternoon drop-in sessions was offered through a partnership between OPG and the River Institute of Environmental Sciences. “Scientific research leads me to continuously learn new things about the river and its ecosystems,” said Schwar tz, of Williamstown. For over a decade, she has been connected to river institute programming, and for the last two years, Schwartz has led the popular Science & Nature Rocks sessions at the Cornwall Public Library. Her extensive natural history collection and wildlife journals contain bones, teeth, nests, feathers, and illustrations documenting dozens of local birds, fish, and animals. Designed to be fun as well as interactive, Discovery Science is a brand new program that introduces the world of science and nature to children and visitors of all ages. OPG’s Visitor Centre will play host to ‘science stations’ that feature experiments, arts and crafts, plants, animals, music, and

SLC Sharks win Challenge Cup Adam Brazeau adam.brazeau@tc.tc

BARRIE, Ont. – The St. Lawrence College Sharks men’s hockey team won the Challenge Cup after defeating the host Georgian College Grizzlies 2-0 in the final game. When Matt Gregoire tapped in a loose puck off of a deflection in the first period to put the Sharks ahead 1-0, he had no idea it would be the eventual game-winner of the provincial championship. With Brian Landry scoring in the empty net with six seconds left in the game, the celebration was on for the Sharks. “Words can’t express how proud we are of this group” said Sharks coach Mike Pettinella. “The guys deserved it from day one. They were so committed to our team approach, with everyone buying into their role, it really made a difference the last two days.” After the Sharks scored the go-ahead goal, the momentum would shift back and forth, with veteran Sharks goalie Ryan Cooper, playing on top of his game by shutting out the Grizzlies. Co-coach Sean Boulerice shared the Sharks strategy that helped the team prevail over the host Georgian College. “We knew they were a little tired having played a wild card game earlier in the day, so we wanted to be sure to dictate the tempo by winning every battle and forcing them to skate,” said Boulerice. Coming into the tournament, the coaches reminded the team that being ranked number one does not do them any favours. They are still going to have to work as if it was anyone’s tournament to win. “We remember the disappointment from last

The Sharks finished the season with a 20-2-1

record and a Gold Challenge Cup to bring back to Cornwall. Both coaches and players would like to thank all the support they have received throughout the season, especially to those that made the trip

to Barrie to cheer them on for two days. The annual Sharks Athletics banquet, where student-athletes and coaches from all teams will be recognized for their efforts this season, takes place on Wednesday, April 6.
