Good news from Kohen Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc
CORNWALL, Ontario - Three-year old Kohen Paschek has faced tough adversity at his young age. Two years ago, he was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor. He is one of only 15 children in the world right now to have had this tumor and, doctors said that if removed, there would still be a 98 percent chance of the tumor recurring. Now, it has been a little over a year since Kohen has finished his treatment and his doctors say that there is no evidence of disease and that the tumor bed is reducing in size. Additionally, just in the past year, advances have been made in Kohen’s type of cancer. “When it was removed, the doctors begged

us to have Kohen’s tumor for research because it is so rare,” said Kohen’s mom Jessie. Thanks to the research done by the Arthur & Sonia Labatt Research Centre in Toronto on his own tumor, doctors have raised Kohen’s survival chance from 2 percent to 50 percent. However, if the cancer returns he is out of treatment options, which is why his mother Jessie is working so hard to raise funds for this valuable research. With things looking up, Kohen is ready to start at a Montesorri pre-school, and will soon be able to play sports. Doctors say that he shows no signs developmental delays because of the brain tumor, although he does have to be a little careful when taking bumps on the head, because there is a gap in his skull where the tumor used to be, but doctors say that gap is shrinking. Kohen’s mom Jessie has organized a few upcoming fundraisers in order to raise money for vital research into brain tumors. “A lot of people don’t know, but brain tumors have overtaken Leukemia as the leading cause of cancer-related death in children,” she said. “Yet only three percent of the Canadian government funding goes towards that research.” On April 23 from 12 5 p.m. to 5 p.m. there will

South Stormont community rallies in response to R-O decision Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc
LONG SAULT, Ontario - The South Stormont community gathered on Tuesday evening to discuss their next steps after the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) narrowly voted in favour of closing the community’s only high school. Teri-Lynn Beckstead, one of the driving forces behind the Save Rothwell-Osnabruck campaign outlined the situation for the crowd gathered at the South Stormont Community Centre. “Even though we lost the vote to save R-O by the vote of one trustee, we would need three to flip to our side to get that vote overturned,” Beckstead explained in response to a question from the crowd. “Our best option now is to take this to the province..” She explained now how they hoped to encourage the province to review the Pupil Accommodation Review process. The aim is to gather a petition of signatures from at least 30 percent of the parents who have children at Rothwell-Osnabruck. That 30 percent threshold if met is the minimum requirement to have the Ministry of Education consider whether a review is warranted.
“We probably have at least that many here tonight,” she said. “I plan on taking this petition door-to-door. The more signatures we get, the harder it will be to ignore our request for a review.” A member of the crowd asked that if the process is reviewed, if that will mean the decision is overturned. While the review from the Ministry cannot overturn any school board decision, it can make recommendations on changes it thinks should be made. One reason that supporters of R-O feel like a review is necessary, is because they feel that the UCDSB trustees were working with incorrect information, and not taking the whole picture into account. The Board of Trustees voted to close R-O because according to the staff report, the school was 65 percent empty with 235 empty spaces. Beckstead explained how this information was incorrect, and that the truth was that R-O Secondary is 79.2 percent full with only 48 empty spaces. “I’ve done the math over and over again,” said Beckstead. “But they (the school board) did not want to listen.” She then explained the plan that the Save Rothwell-Osnabruck committee presented to the school board to fill those empty 48 seats to
capacity. The Save R-O group wanted the school to have French Immersion reintroduced to encourage students from South Stormont’s other elementary school, Longue Sault Public School (which does have a French Immersion program) to go to the high school in their township to continue their education. While Longue Sault Public was originally scheduled for closure in the school board’s initial draft report, it was ultimately spared in the final vote on March 23. However, Beckstead explained that if R-O’s secondary school program is closed, it could threaten Longue Sault. “Longue Sault Public was originally scheduled for closure,” she said. “When R-O Secondary is closed how do you think they are going to want to fill that suddenly vacant space.” Beckstead told the crowd that the next time the closure and consolidation issue is visited by the UCDSB they could leave South Stormont with one school in just one of their communities. Petitions to send to the Ministry of Education are available at the Foodland in Ingleside and at the South Stormont Township Hall in Long Sault. The petition’s organizers hope to have the petition sent off by the end of this coming weekend, Sunday, April 9.
Teri-Lynn Beackstead explains to the gathered crowd on Tuesday, April 4 at the South Stormont Township Hall the next steps for the community after the Upper Canada District School Board voted to close the municipality’s only high school (Nick Seebruch/ TC Media).

OPP police car
Alexandria OPP Officer made Sunshine List while suspended Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc
ALEXANDRIA, Ontario - The Province of Ontario has released the 2016 Sunshine List. The list names members of Ontario’s public sector who made more than $100, 000 in 2016. Among the names of those who made the Sunshine List for 2016 are police officers who had been suspended with pay, including one member of the SD&G OPP detachment’s Alexandria office. Luanne MacDonald was suspended July 22, 2014 when she and fellow officer John Bernard were arrested. She was charged with three counts of breach of trust by an officer, obstruction of justice, one count each of fraud, voyeurism, distribution of voyeurism material and theft of communications.
It was claimed that Cst. MacDonald had filmed a woman naked and distributed the recording. It was alleged that the incidents occurred between November 2011 and July 2014. On Jan. 16 of this year, MacDonald pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice. In 2016, which was her second full year on paid suspension, MacDonald still made $100, 626.82 according to the Sunshine List. MacDonald resigned from the OPP before being sentenced on March 3. She was an 11-year active veteran police officer. MacDonald was handed a 15 month conditional sentence on March 3 including 10 months of house arrest.

Is it Time to Switch Your Winter Tires? Tim Houle Auto Talk
Winter tires are important for keeping you safe on the road during the hazardous conditions of snowy and icy roads. But as the snow starts to melt and the days get warmer, you might start thinking about switching back to all-season or summer tires. Before you make the switch, here are some factors that can influence your timing. It’s safe to remove your winter tires once the average daily high is above 5 C and the risk of snow or frost has passed. Keep an eye on the averages in your area and take a look at the long range forecast before switching out. Late spring snowfall isn’t unusual in many parts of Canada, so be prepared; Environment Canada can give you the information you need. Remember that black ice isn’t visible, so the temperature is an important factor in ensuring you are safe on the road. Before you take them off, you should know where you’re going to put them. Improper storage of your winter tires can lead to damage that will shorten their lifespan. Ask around;

Cornwall Major honoured Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc
CORNWALL, Ontario - Major Anthony “Tony” Johnson of the Royal Canadian Air Force was invited by the City of Cornwall to sign the City’s Book of Recognition at the council meeting on Monday, April 10. A native of Cornwall and a graduate of St. Joseph’s Secondary School, Major Johnson was recognized by the United States government for his three years of service in Miami while he was on exchange there. In 2016 U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter and Admiral Kurt W. Todd commander of the U.S. Southern Command honoured Johnson with the Defense Meritous Service Medal. “The distinctive accomplishments of Major Johnson reflects credit upon himself, the Canadian Armed Forces, and the department of defense,” said Todd. Major Johnson also served two tours of duty in Afghanistan. Johnson told Cornwall Council that he felt gratitude at being recognized and that like them, he was a public servant. “What we have common in this room is that
we serve the public and we do it of our own accord as volunteers,” he said. “I think we all know what its like to sacrifice family time for committments to the public. I wear a uniform and you folks don’t but I think we all deserve recognition from ourselves and the general public.” Councillor David Murphy, who knew Major Johnson as he was growing up said he knew he was destined for the military. “We knew where you were headed early on because it was a passion of yours from day one,” said Murphy. “You do a job a not a lot of people can do, and we thank you for that.” Major Johnson said that he would not be the person that he is if he had not grown up in Cornwall. “I’m very proud of Cornwall its a great place to grow up,” he said.

Rick Shaver recognised by Ontario Community Newspaper Association TORONTO, Ontario - On Friday night in Toronto at the Ontario Community Newspaper Association annual BCN Awards Gala, Rick was presented with one of the premier association recognition awards for his work in his community and the work the newspaper does . The Award is coordinated by the OCNF, with generous support of the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC). Together, they are committed to recognizing dedicated newspaper employees who are constantly making a difference within their communities. “I am very honored to have received this award” said Shaver “ the work I do in the community is to make it a better place to live, to build a stronger foundation for growth and for the next generation and to create a great home for those that live here. None of this would be possible if not for my great family, supportive friends and associations and my staff who works with me daily on helping the community.” In 1985, Rick Shaver co-founded the Cornwall Seaway News with Dick Aubry and ensured the community newspaper remained just that – a very large part of its community. Despite changes in technology and the way readers receive their news, Rick’s commitment to the product has not changed. He continues to build relationships, encourages his staff to do the same, and provides the community with a gateway to share their stories.

OPINION
Did we ever really have a choice? Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc
If someone offered to you a kick in the pants, and the only alternative was no kick in the pants, then you aren’t really left with that many options are you? Is that even really a choice? That was basically the decisions open to Cornwall City Council during this Ranked Ballot process. As I’ve explained in previous columns, Ranked Ballot voting is a preferable method over our current First Past the Post system in theory. In theory, Ranked Ballot is fairly straightforward. If there are five people running for one elected position, voters rank their preferred candidates from one to five, the person with the most votes wins the job. The winner of the election wasn’t the winner’s first choice, then maybe they were their second, or third. It encourages politicians to appeal to a broad a base as possible rather than extremes. In more complex elections, with many seats and many candidates, it is still fairly straightforward. Voters again rank their preferences and the candidates ranked #1 the least amount of times are eliminated.
However, the process that was presented to council by the Provincial government was very narrow, complex and in my opinion discouraged municipalities from considering alternatives to the status quo. “I started out being very proud of the fact that we were one of the few municipalities that decided to have this conversation,” Councillor Bernadette Clement explained at the Council meeting. “What we got was a serviceable presentation, but it focused on things like the technicalities and cost. (This proposal) dies because we couldn’t explain why there were benefits involved in this although the point of this was to ensure that everyone who sits at this table gets the most support from the community.” Councillor Claude McIntosh said that the issues heard most often in public consultations was that people wanted them to work on the reasons behind reduced voter turnout. “Its like trying to get kids to participate,” he lamented. “Our votes don’t count is the common refrain.” Councillor McIntosh felt that if people wanted Ranked Ballot voting, then the proposal should be brought to a referendum and that if it was implemented by council now, it would
actually hurt the voter turnout in the next election rather than help. I agree with him on both counts. The citizens of Cornwall should be the ones who decide how they vote when this issue comes up. Also, I agree that this version of Ranked Balloting at least will discourage voter participation. This version of Ranked Ballot voting put forward by the province seems almost designed to be rejected by municipalities. Maybe the
province feels it is too much effort to change the way citizens of municipalities vote. Or maybe they want to discourage the idea in case it catches on. Either way, electoral reform is an issue that should be re-visited regularly. It has been too long since we have reviewed our democracy at all levels and it is time that it is given a proper going over and all practices for exercising this fundamental right should be on the table.
community…that is why we choose to live here, educate our children here and keep our business here. Rothwell Osnabruck is not a faceless pile of steel and concrete – it is a place in which you are nurtured and valued as an individual. Our high school is both financially and academically viable and our students should have the right to be educated in their community… along with being able to participate in sports and after school employment if they choose. Bussing our children out of the community to an even more remote facility just does not make any sense whatsoever. That money
would be better spent keeping our school open. In closing I would like to propose you call a meeting, have a good hard look at all of the facts that have been provided to you and have the courage and decency to admit that you based your previous decision on flawed and incorrect information. Then make the only decision that is right for our students…reverse the decision to close RO and recover some valuable support that you are indeed sorely lacking at this point in time. Sincerely, Debbie Jones-Tinker
LETTER TO THE EDITOR After attending an information meeting at the South Stormont Township Office last evening I can’t help but be impressed by the passion and fortitude of the presenter, Teri-Lynn CritesBeckstead. She stated the facts and fielded questions like a pro along with Jen MacIsaac. I am sure there are a lot of behind the scenes support for these two dynamos but they are the face of the fight to save Rothwell Osnabruck High School. I was also impressed by the huge turnout for the event and everyone came away with a renewed sense of purpose in doing all we can to influence the reversal of the decision to close our high school.
Based on the facts RO should never have been on the chopping block in the first place… being at 79.2% capacity with 48 empty student spaces should have given it a pass. The fact that many of the trustees never bothered to visit our school let alone even know its location speaks volumes about their credentials or lack thereof. Of course having an ulterior agenda does not have a place in this decision…the facts do! It seems province-wide our rural schools are under attack and we must put a stop to this madness before it is too late. Those of us in rural communities take pride in being part our

OPINION shadow of the towering Nativity steeple, with 104 kids on the block. “Never had to worry about finding somebody to play with when you went outside,” he recalled. The 1967-68 Nativity School twins were Colette and Claude Labelle, Debbie and Dean Filion, Cherry and Sherry McKie, Eva and Edna Gauthier, Jacqueline and Jacques Lajoie, Francine and Francoise Menard, Leon and Lynne Menard, David and Danny Mayer, Jeanne and Betty Ann Dufresne and Eileen and Elaine Lafrance. ALSO THIS WEEK CIRCA 1968 - Extension of Fifth Street from McConnell Avenue to Guy Street was put on hold after complaints from residents living in the area who feared the increase in traffic would harm the neighbourhood and put children in danger. Meanwhile, the city said paving of Fourth Street between McConnell and Guy would go ahead. ... A chart showed that the largest slice in the city’s tax pie was for education. Of every $100 collected, almost $50 went to education. The second biggest cost was protection to persons and property which required $6.28 of every $100. ... Cornwall animal control officer John Lascelle said rumours that he was sending dogs to McGill University for research were false. ... City fire fighters battled 21 grass fires over a three-day period. ... Art Anderson was named winner of the Jacques Richard Memorial Trophy. His St. Lawrence High School football teams won eight EOSSA titles in 12 seasons. ... Cornwall Royals advanced to the Eastern Canada Memorial Cup semi-final round with an 8-3 win over North Bay Trappers in the seventh game. Denis Plante led the Royals with three goals. Jim George, Pat
McGlynn, Andy Teeple, Barry Graham and Wayne Horne also scored. The Royals were set to play Verdun Maple Leafs in the next round. ... North End Social Club was given permission to build an extension to the King George Park club house. ... The city’s three Kentucky Fried Chicken outlets had an Easter special - a Snak-Pac for 85 cents. .... Pat Smith was re-elected president of the Cornwall Minor Hockey Association. Harry Levere was elected commissioner. ... Cornwall real estate broker and member of the Property Owners and Ratepayers Association told city council that its excessive spending habits were paving the path to financial ruination. Roy Brunet said that by 1970 the city would be in the hands of a provincially-appointed trustee if things didn’t change. He also claimed that city public works employees were stretching 15-minute coffee breaks into one hour. TRIVIA ANSWER St. Lawrence Breweries Ltd. began making “Cornwall Ale” in 1907 in a plant at Augustus and Water streets. The brewery struggled and by 1920 it was out of business. The vacant building served as a storage facility over the year. The last business to occupy the building before it was torn down in 1975 was Gordon’s Ice Manufacturing.

Gary Pilon was named rookie of the year while Don Orton received the Spirit of Curling Award. NICE TOUCH FOR SUPER FAN Cornwall Colts honoured long-time fan Ruben Primeau during a playoff game with a Colts’ jersey that his name and No. 94 on the back. Primeau has been a Colts’ season ticket holder since 1992. Colts’ director of marketing Dave Murphy thinks during that time Primeau has missed just a handful of games. And why No. 94? That is Primeau’s age. Before the Colts, Primeau was Royals’ season ticket holder. HERE AND THERE A woman who left a significant footprint in the local business community at a time when women were mostly on the outside looking in died last month at age 100. When the Second World War ended, Jessie Boyd was a war widow with two young children and not much in the way of financial support. She moved to Cornwall and got into the beauty salon business with a single shop on lower Pitt Street. Within a few years, she had four shops on the go. She even had her own hairdressing show on CJSS TV. She branched out into other local business ventures and invested in real estate. She became one of the city’s most successful women entrepreneurs. She was a quiet philanthropists who supported many charitable causes. Four years ago she wrote her memoirs “Still Kicking Just Not As High”. The proceeds went to World Vision.

Sister Lucy Chretien, principal of Nativity Separate School in the heart of East Cornwall, didn’t have anything wrong with her vision but she was becoming accustomed to seeing double. So it was in the 1967-68 school year when the school had 10 sets of twins among its 535 kindergarten to Grade 6 students. Two sets of twins were from the same family. Two years earlier, the school had 12 sets of twins. Sister Chretien believed that to be a record for a city school. Identification, at least at the start of the school year, was clouded by identical school uniforms. “Some (of the twins) are very confusing,”Sister Chretien told The Standard-Freeholder. “Teachers have to sit them apart to be able to tell one from the other.” It was an unexplained phenomenon. All but one set lived south of Montreal Road between Marborough Street and McConnell Avenue. The other set lived on Alice Street just north of Montreal Road. Two sets of twins were McConnell South neighbours. Perhaps the odds were increased because of large families in east Cornwall. It was not uncommon for an east end family to have seven or eight children. This was a time when Nativity Church had 1,300 families and 6,000 parishioners. And a few blocks away was another Roman Catholic church with a large flock. Retired banker Denis Payette tells of growing up on Millville Avenue in the 1950s, in the

How to fight the Ash Borer The Emerald Ash Borer is a small insect that ravishes ash trees by killing their root system. If a homeowner suspects that an ash tree has been infected, then the tree should be gotten rid of right away, or it will only get more expensive to remove. As the tree dies and rots away, it becomes more dangerous to take down and more dangerous to the property or powerlines around it. Costs of taking down a rotted tree could jump to $300-$400.

Handy hints and cool tips for your home!
Keep water away WinMar cannot emphasize enough the importance of keeping water away from your home this Spring season. Make sure that water is not pooling near the foundation of your house and that your eaves troughs are clean. If you live in the country make sure your sump pump is working and also up to the job of draining water away.
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 costs and 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. This can be a sign that a business is avoiding important consumer and worker protection responsibilities as well. A taxfree deal without areceipt provides no legal recourse over the goods and services purchased, and can result in you having to pay twice if the job is left unfinished or done poorly.

Handy household tips
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. Keeping in the Green Roger Massey of Massey Furniture says that everyone can stay in the green by using green appliances. Whether it be energy efficient stoves or washers that use as little soap as necessary, not only are these appliances good for the environment, but they’re also good for your wallet. 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. 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. 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.

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. Know where it goes An important part of home care is waste management. Waste management is not just a home problem though, it is also a community and municipal problem. Knowing how the city manages its waste will help homeowners manage theirs. For example, alumninum is one of the most valued recyclables for the City of Cornwall as they get the biggest return on it. Also most plastics can be recycled, including water bottles, yogurt cups, pizza boxes and salad containers. Things that aren’t recyclable include things like batteries, electronics and dirty items like tissues. Electronics can be dropped off at the municipal dump which has a special depot for their disposal. 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.

Three tips for maintaining your kitchen cabinets Regardless of their construction or finish, your kitchen cabinets require regular maintenance and the occasional deep cleansing. Follow these expert recommendations to keep your cabinetry in tiptop shape and looking great. 1. Be gentle Stay away from harsh products that might damage surfaces. On that note, never use scouring pads — or worse yet, steel wool — to clean your cabinets. Soft fabrics like microfiber are all that’s necessary to obtain sparkling results.
2. Keep it simple Many specialists recommend using an ama zingly simple solution to clean kitchen cabinets. A bit of dish soap mixed with water — and some good old-fashioned elbow grease — is all you need! To avoid leaving unsightly spots on doors and handles, make sure to rinse them with fresh water and wipe them down thoroughly. 3. Do it often Over time, oily residue, dust build-up and bacteria can find their way into the edges and corners of your cabinets, creating stubborn stains and contributing to premature hardware rust. Make a habit of wiping down your cabinets on a regular basis — the more often you do, the shorter your cleaning sessions will be!

The Sting of Composites Chris Emard First there’s the “ouch!” followed by the wince, then the slap, then the rubbing of the area in question, then it’s over. That, in a nutshell, describes the experience of buying composite decking. It’s essentially that first little financial sting of summer. Muhammed Ali used to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. However, the composite sting won’t topple you over like an Ali punch, but it will grab your attention, and depending on your budget status, the financial hit will

most likely be somewhere between the sting of a wasp, and that of a mosquito. So, why put yourself through such an unpleasant financial experience? Because it’s worth it, and is basically like accepting a sting today, then receiving a free pass from the mosquitoes, bees, and balance of the biting insect world for the next 25 years. In other words, the price of composite decking relates directly to the cost of freedom, or at least having most summer weekends off for the next 20+ years. Are composite decks totally
maintenance free? Not quite, although they could be. Because the finish on composite decking is so terrific looking, you’re going to want to keep it clean. So, this chore will require a quick spray using the garden hose (put your pressure washer in the dumpster) followed by a sweep with soft bristled 24” push broom. What to look for in composite decking? Choose either a solid PVC or PVC wrapped product. This, as opposed to the solid composite, or old recipe products that are a mixture of recycled plastics and wood

fibers. These original recipe products are often on sale, but they’re to be avoided. Although definitely cheaper in price, pure composites won’t wear as well, and aren’t nearly as stain and scratch resistant as the solid PVC or PVC wrapped products. What to remember when designing your composite deck? Decking planks come in 8, 12, 16, and 20 foot lengths, and, at 5-6 dollars per linear foot, waste will be expensive. So, plan your deck surface accordingly. Good building.

The time is now The time to plant trees is now. The ground is soft and wet, just the way young saplings like it. Be sure to know what kind of tree you are planting however and where you are planting it, or you might have problems later on, especially if the tree’s root system takes over your yard, or if the tree grows into some power lines.
CORNWALL, Ontario - Spring is here and so is the Cornwall Chamber of Commerce Home & Leisure Show. With the weather getting nicer, dozens of businesses were on site at the Cornwall Civic Complex to display their home improvement products for the coming season. On hand for special gardening seminars was Mark Cullen, a third generation professional gardener and a television gardening expert. “The first thing you’re going to want to do this season is get on the lawn,” said Cullen. “You’re going to want to rake it, feed it with Golfgreen Iron Plus lawn fertilizer and then start cutting it at a high level.” Cullen gave two presentations at the show, and was available at the Fines Home Hardware booth to answer gardening questions. This is the Home & Leisure Show’s Eleventh year. “The Chamber has worked with Fines Home Hardware to offer this year’s grand prize, a $5, 000.00 outdoor treasure trove that includes a riding lawn mower, a fabulous Traeger Grill,
a patio set, fire pit, and so much more,” reports Executive Manager Lezlie Strasser. “It is a tremendous prize and we’re pleased with Fines, as our title sponsor, in making the prize available for some lucky Show visitor.” There was also a Family Fun Zone for kids. Big Brothers and Big Sisters Cornwall were inviting kids to come and paint bird houses provided by the Chamber of Commerce.

Williamstown remembers Vimy Ridge Alycia Douglass alycia.douglass@tc.tc
WILLIAMSTOWN, Ontario - Regiment and church gathered at St. Andrew’s United Church in honour of the 100th anniversary of Vimy Ridge. The first instance where all four divisions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force fought together, the battle came to represent national success and sacrifice. Falling on Palm Sunday, the service focused heavily on the theme of sacrifice in the Bible, as well as in battle. “This is a sacred space that has that military connection – it was built by loyalists, as well as a number of the Nor ’Westers,” said Rev. Andrea Harrison. “On this Sunday, we remember that 100 years ago, at 5:30 in the morning, our soldiers went knowingly into an arena of death,” Before kids went off to Sunday School, Rev. Harrison turned their attention to he Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders, who were seated behind them asking those who had been
deployed in war or peace keeping missions to stand. ‘Why is mom standing?’ asked one child. The congregation laughed, and Rev. Harrison explained that ‘mom went to Afghanistan before you were born.’ Curator of the SD&G Highlanders Museum, Leon Chamois was also in attendance, presenting several garments which would have been worn at Vimy Ridge, including a woolen service dress tunic, cotton webbing, as well as a great deal of knowledge. Also present was Master Warrant Officer Richard Corneau from Kingston, who spoke of the vast amount of young men who fought in the battle. To put it into perspective, Canada’s four divisions were made up of nearly 100,000 soldiers, while the current Canadian Army has one division with roughly 15,000 soldiers. “It’s almost unfathomable how many people were there, and how they could have organized
Rev. Andrea Harrison of St. Andrew’s United Church and Reserve Force Chaplain of the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders Regiment. (Alycia Douglass/TC Media) this,” said MWO Corneau. Discussing the mentality of a soldier, he emphasized the tremendous amount of bravery the young men demonstrated at Vimy Ridge. “What makes them get out of that trench?
What makes them walk forward? Once you get to the field, any ideology you had is gone,” said MWO Corneau. “You’re not fighting anymore for King and Country, you’re fighting for the man beside you.”

Cornwall’s new innovation centre is open for business Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc
CORNWALL, Ontario - The entire community of Cornwall, Akwesasne and Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry came together to celebrate the opening of the Cornwall Innovation Centre (CIC) on Thursday, April 6. “This centre is all about creating jobs and economic development,” said Lesley Lang of the Community Futures Development Corporation. “Part of the innovation centre is that it is a network of mentors.” The CIC is a partnership between a variety of organizations to promote economic growth in Cornwall, this includes strong support from Carleton University’s Sprott School of Business. The CIC will aim to promote growth in Cornwall through Carleton’s Lead to Win program. The program is aimed at promoting businesses with a high growth potential.

Guidelines when seeking Help 1. Find out how long they have been in business. If its less than 2 years, I’d consider someone else. 2. Always ask for references and ask for a Police Background check. P.B. checks are only good for one year. Call other customers, don’t just believe whats presented 3. Get proof of insurance. If an accident happens to the cleaner or to your premises, and they aren’t properly insured, you could be in some trouble. Make sure they have professional liability insurance. 4. Get a quote. Anyone who knows there business can tell you (almost to the penny) what something will cost before they start. Get it in writing and watch for guarentees. 5. Do they provide the supplies and tools or do you. You have to be careful with supplies you are not familiar with or tools and where they were used last. 6. Beware of companies you have not heard of, you do have a chance of getting a bad deal.

Raisin River Canoe Race celebrates 45 years MARTINTOWN, Ontario - Despite treacherous conditions, the 45th annual Raisin River Canoe Race went off without a hitch. With temperatures climbing to 18 C in the afternoon, paddlers welcomed the warm weather with a day of fun on the river. Josh Forrester and his father were among one of the teams participating in this year’s race. He says that the Canoe Race is deeply ingrained in the Forrester Clan, who have taken part 25 years in a row. “When you’re a family of seven kids, there’s always someone willing to do it,” said Forrester. “We all love sports and outdoors so it’s something we can’t miss each year.” Beginning in 1973, the 30km course runs from St. Andrews all the way down to Williamstown. Always held during the spring freshet when water levels are high, Mother Nature gave paddlers a little extra push this
year, forcing organizers to cut the Devils Chute due to safety. Instead, the start was moved to Delaney Road, making for a shorter, but ultimately safer race. “This is the fastest finishing times I’ve ever seen,” said Forrester. “It’s because there was such a heavy flow.” Matthew Levac has taken part in the event four consecutive years, and says that this year’s race presented some new challenges. “Because of the increase flow, we capsized at McIntyre rapids,” said Levac. “We chased the canoe down river until we finally caught up. Unfortunately we never finished the race.” “The Mcintyre rapids appeared as a wall of standing water and at the time of approached we were unprepared and a little to tired,” said Levac. Levac says he really appreciated the help from the community and volunteer crew.

A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, “This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you.” The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, “Which do you want, son?” The boy takes the quarters and leaves. “What did I tell you?” said the barber. “That kid never learns!” Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store. “Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?” The boy licked his cone and replied, “Because the day I take the dollar, the game is over!”

$ Topanga Archambault ,10, and her friend Emily Aubé, took the time out of their weekend on a beautiful day to walk around picking up garbage in yards and along our road. Topanga’s Nanny started her at a young age to learn about the environment and that it’s the right thing to do. Topanga is also part of the Eco Club at school and her friend Emily helps her teacher at her school.

The fur was flying, figuratively speaking at the Knights of Columbus Council 5068’s Ham & Bunny Shoot on Thursday, April 6. Every 15 minutes a lucky winner got to take home one of 40 chocolate bunnies and a ham to go with it. The Knight’s hoped to raise $2, 000 with this fundraiser. Money raised by the Knights goes to support causes in the community like Hospice Cornwall.

After 25 years of service, former Client Coordinator for Community Food Share, Judy Hilson, is resigning.
Easter is a wonderful time, especially for children and the Humane Society of Canada is asking people to encourage kindness towards animals in a number of simple ways. There are several, simple things that you can do to ensure that you have a safe Easter that doesn’t cause suffering to animals. 1. Do not give ducklings, chicks, rabbits or other animals as presents. 2. Do not spend your hard-earned money in stores that try to cash in on impulse buying involving pets. 3. Be careful of the chocolate you buy. Try to ensure that it is lindane-free chocolate. 4. Ensure that pets do not get access to products that could be harmful to them. 5. Educate others about Easter hazards and what they can do.
