Celebration Sleigh and Dream Vacation winners announced Provided by the United Way of SD&G

2 - Wednesday, December 20, 2017 - Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

CORNWALL, Ontario - Times are changing and as a charitable organization, we at United Way Centraide SD&G have embraced a new direction of change – a direction of consistent evolving and growth.

We are proud of the work we do. Changing Lives is our mission - to create a happy and healthy community for everyone. What would our community look like without United Way? Many essential programs assisting those who need it most would not exist or be drastically reduced without United Way support.

Programs which feed the elderly, support our youth to make the right choices or give a child the mentor they so desperately need could be lost. We invest your dollars to the best of our ability to ensure we are changing lives and creating significant lasting impact throughout Cornwall and SDG. We are proud to be a locally operated office – from our fundraising activities to our investment into our local community. All funds raised in SDG stay in SDG to help your neighbours in need. As we are a small office of only 3 staff, we rely heavily on our volunteers in our fundraising effor ts

and community investment. All decisions to allocate the funds we receive are made by a committee of volunteers and approved by our volunteer Board of Directors. We deal directly with our partner agencies and invest into programs and services that benefit local children, youth, individuals, families and the elderly.

The need is always great. We are grateful that many individuals, families and businesses have embraced our recent change in direction and we encourage everyone to invest in United Way SD&G today or yearly to help Change Lives in our local community. With

donating, you are a United Way HERO! Wrapping up the Holiday Season we are thrilled to announce that Peggy Levac is the lucky winner of our traditional Celebration Sleigh raffle held at Baxtrom’s YIG, the prize made up of $2,500 worth of prizing donated by local businesses. Thanks to Jolly Tours & Travel Carlson Wagonlit Kevin Gillis has a $3,000 travel voucher to book his dream vacation.

To each and every one of our United Way Centraide HEROES, thank you! We extend our warmest wishes to everyone during this Holiday Season.

Is there any room in your inn?

My wife claims that I can sleep anywhere even when she’s vacuuming. That got me to thinking about some of the unusual places and circumstances in which I have slept.

In October of 1960 Larry (another ‘airplane geek’) and I hitchhiked from Toronto to Montreal to practise our favourite sport, ‘shooting aircraft’. At Cartierville Airport we photographed a very interesting large helicopter, a Sikorsky S-55.

Evening came, but we found ourselves far from any affordable overnight accommodations. Since the helicopter was unlocked and not in current use, the canvas hammocks in its cabin became our place of refuge for the night.

December 20 Edition

What a contrast to the din of the crummy flophouse of a hotel in Pembroke in 1970. It had a paper-thin wall separating me from the sounds of the enthusiastic ‘goings-on’ of the couple in the room next door. The even noisier activities in the beer hall below my room weren’t loud enough to muffle their periodic outbursts, but I was still able to get more sleep than any of those revellers.

Here’s why I’ve given accounts of some of the many unusual places I’ve slept in. In every case, it was not poverty that found me on the street. It was my on-going thirst for travel and adventure.

This Christmas season, there are hundreds of thousands of people anxiously searching for a place to spend the night, but not in a luxurious resort, a fancy hotel, or nice motel, or a homey B&B. They are our domestic homeless, and also the refugees fleeing from persecution, violence, and famine in their homelands. They furtively spend the nights under tarps in parks, back alleys, open fields and wherever they are not ordered to move on.

Not only during this Christmas season, but throughout the year, be aware of the strangers

among us, those who are hungry, thirsty, lacking shelter.

I wonder if the innkeeper of a Christmas long ago was aware of who that bearded man leading a donkey was. I wonder if he knew that the pregnant woman accompanying him was bearing someone very special. That bundle of swaddling clothes they brought with them was soon to be spread out on the hay of the manger.

Among those refugees of today there may be one who will someday be our judge. We may ask, “I don’t remember seeing you when you were hungry, homeless, thirsty, or in need of something warm to wear.” (Matthew 25: 35-45) If you want to find where today’s needy are to be found, check out the many imaginative illustrations in William Kurelek’s “A Northern Nativity”.

Kurelek (1927-1977) is a Ukrainian-Canadian artist who conjured up twenty images of where that special couple might be found today: stranded beside a highway in a broken down car; dining in a soup kitchen, taking shelter in a logger’s camp... Today’s needy are all around us.

When we look, we will only see if our eyes and hearts are open.

I’ve also slept on airport terminal benches in Veradero, Vancouver, Mirabel, Regina, Edmonton and Fort Lauderdale. When you’re flying tourist class, or hitchhiking with a dog, anything flat and about six-feet long will do.

When canoe-tripping in wilderness areas, you can’t be too fussy when looking for a place to rest your head for the night. I remember one river that was lined with nothing else but dense tangles of underbrush and steep rocky slopes.

Finding no place to pitch my little tent, I tied the canoe’s bow-line to a tree trunk and slept like baby Moses in the reeds. Unfortunately, there was no Pharaoh’s daughter to discover me in the morning (Exodus 2: 5&6).

There’s a similar dearth of spots to roost along mountain trails. However, I’ve had the pleasure of overnighting in two unoccupied fire watch towers. They offer uninterrupted horizon-to horizon views of sunsets and sunrises. Bonus: bears don’t climb fire towers.

Christmas cheer on display

By Marc Benoit, Special to TC Media CORNWALL, Ontario - I was all cheer, singing, and cider at the Cornwall Community Museum on Saturday, December 16, for The Spirit of Christmas.

Visitors to the local museum were given the opportunity to jump in to the festive spirit, with a wide array of festive attractions offering fun for the whole family.

“Today we’re having The Spirit of Christmas past, some of our board members saw this as an opportunity to bring together the community,” said Don Smith, manager and associate curator for the Cornwall Community Museum. “We have the sleigh rides overlapping with this at three o’clock, and we’ve set this 1840 wood family house up with a

very traditional Christmas theme with decorations from different areas.”The event kicked off with a performance by the Baptist Choir outside, followed by the opportunity to mingle with Santa Klaus himself, along with local authors and the museum staff. As with most Cornwall Community Museum events, the event was free to everyone. The choir was joined by museum board members and other visitors for a holiday sing along at 2pm, with an hour to go before the sleigh rides.

“We have both Santa and Momma Klaus with us today, lovely costumes. We have crafts for the kids, and apple cider and treats. The refreshments are kind of special for today,” said Smith. “It’s a chance to mingle and just enjoy the day.”

Local author Ginette Guy was in attendance at The Spririt of Christmas Past at the Cornwall Community Museum, on Dec 16, 2017, to promote her new book, Unforgotten, detailing the life and time’s of Cornwall’s “First Lady”, Mary Mack. (Marc Benoit/ TC Media).

OPINION

Give local Nick Seebruch

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

The United Way has run a vigorous campaign this year and have introduced new fundraisers, like their water bottle campaign. So far, the United Way is ahead of the game and have taken in more money this year than the same time last year.

Unlike last year, the United Way of SD&G have not announced a target goal for their campaign. Chair Bill Makinson explained to me that the United Way didn’t want a number to be the focus of their campaign, but rather, the organizations and people who they help. I don’t know if not announcing a target number has affected their fundraising efforts, but I also don’t care that much, because what matters is the fundraising, not the goal and it is good to hear that the United Way is successfully raising money to help organizations in the community.

The more support the United Way receives, the more they can help important organizations and programs in our community, such as the Hub for Beyond 21, the Boys and Girls Club, Alzheimer’s Society and many more. This support needs to continue throughout the year, the United Way is always accepting donations and they have even expanded their fundraising efforts beyond their traditional campaign period.

Last year the United Way introduced their Handbags for Heroes event, which was successful and will become a permanent fixture every April.

I recently wrote a column about the importance of shopping local, because supporting local businesses help to support local charities.

There is always the option to support local charities directly too however, after all, isn’t the best gift a stronger and more vibrant community?

letters to the editor

Maxville Manor

Dear Editor, It would be very hard to not speak to someone in the SD&G counties that has not been touched by Maxville Manor as a facility that is renowned for providing senior care. As the senior citizens of Cornwall and surrounding areas become the majority and their taxes contribute a larger portion of the SD&G counties income it makes me wonder how SD&G can invest close to 3 million dollars to replace a set of lights in Long Sault that’s thousands continue to shake their head at ,yet this council

failure to consider funding the Manor shows they must not be concerned where the senior citizens of SD&G might have to spend out our retirement years maybe in Deep River . Yes with a lack of beds in the area the local health network LHIN considers Deep River up the Ottawa river local and seniors do get discharged there from Cornwall Hospitals if no beds are available closer to home .

SD&G council’s decision is short sited in a ROUND ABOUT WAY in a statement they say “The health system is not for a local budget …

I would like to think that there’s a willingness on the provincial level to be more receptive to these situations rather than forcing municipalities with already tight budgets to deal with elderly care.”

At issue as stated in a local publication the long-term care facility is in danger of not meeting new provincial standards that are going to come into force at the end of June 2025, which could result in it losing its license for 46 of its 122 beds. If the manor does not get its redevelopment done in the next seven years, not only

would there be fewer beds, it would lose 38 per cent of its funding, which would result in the loss of 40 jobs at the facility. All the while, the fixed costs of running and maintaining the building would be the same.

Did the counties ever give to the Cornwall hospital building fund or Glen Stormont Lodge???? I think this issue needs to be re -visited and the council needs to come up and be part of a solution for the seniors it represents!

Bill Fry, South Stormont

condition yourself or those closest to you that it’s not Christmas if there isn’t some bizarre total of unaffordable gifts under the tree.

Christmas is not just about you or those closest to you- it’s about ALL of us. No other days of the year, not Thanksgiving, not Easter, feel as different and well as Christmas Eve and Christmas day. It takes ALL of us to achieve that. Look, Christmas isn’t going anywhere.

The world just refuses to get along, and never will. Life is sometimes uncontrollable and full of

disappointments- but the holidays don’t have to be. It’s never too late to take charge and start inventing your own Christmas. It’s a gift of color, hope and appreciating what you have.

Sound cheesy – maybe, but that is how i cope with Christmas, I befriend it. With all the trouble in the world I think it’s easier to get along with something, rather than fight it. For what it’s worth Angela- Merry Christmas!

Scott Stephenson Ingleside

Dear Editor, In response to Angela Vinet’s -This Whole Christmas Thing, Seaway News, December 6th 2017....

I too, navigate the Christmas season alone.

This year, for some reason, I have been contemplating why I still appreciate the season- then last week, the article by Angela Vinet appeared.

Firstly, one must NEVER allow Hollywood to dictate anything to you (rent Christmas Vacation, if you want to see Christmas gone

wrong- Ha! ) Secondly, I will admit, I have an advantage with Christmas, because I have a good base to draw from, no more happy times are remembered than Christmas with my parents, brother, Grandparents, Aunt, Uncle, and cousins- the first thing I recall, truly, is the laughter, I don’t remember much of what was under the tree.

The biggest mistake people make is to allow Christmas to rule them. The holidays are as materialistic as you want to make them. Don’t

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” - Charles Dickens, Tale of Two Cities.

And so it was in Cornwall and the United Counties as Christmas Day 1943 approached.

Hundreds of families were receiving Christmas messages, some for the third and fourth Christmas, from loved ones serving King and Country in far away places torn by war. For others, the cold words printed on war department telegram contained heart-breaking news that cast a dark cloud over their Christmas celebrations.

A mother told of the morning a car pulled into the driveway of her Cornwall home a few days before Christmas. A chaplain and army officer came to the door. She had three sons serving overseas. She opened the door and asked, “Which one?”

It was her youngest. Just 19 years old. Not old enough to drink but old enough to die for his country.

Mr. and Mrs. Antoine Lalonde of RR 1 Mille Roches were delighted when a warm Christmas greeting arrived via a telegram from their son, 21-year-old Pte. David Lalonde who was spending his first Christmas “somewhere overseas.” The brief telegram said he was doing just safe and sound and was thinking of them.

In a tragic twist, the next day another telegram arrived. This one was from the war department notifying them that their son, Pte. David Lalonde, had been killed in action. The war department said he was with the Eighth Army fighting in Italy.

In Cornwall, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Gallinger of 506 Second St. W. were informed that their son, 24-year-old Pte. Cecil Gallinger had been killed in action. He too was fighting with the Eighth Army which was trying to capture Ortona in the Italian campaign. He was wounded in the Sicilian campaign a few weeks earlier and had just rejoined his unit in Italy. The family thought he was still recovering from his wounds at a military hospital.

In Lancaster, the family of Flying Officer Hector Munro, 21, was informed that he had been killed in air operations over Germany. His Lancaster bomber had been shot down. There were no survivors.

A memorial service for Sgt. Glendon “Buddy” MacNeil was held at St. John’s Presbyterian Church. Just 19 years old and a gunner on a Lancaster bomber, he was killed along with his crewmates during an air operation over Germany.

He was the fifth member of the St. John’s congregation to be killed in action.

Not far away, at Church of Good Shepherd, a memorial service was held for Flight Sgt. William Pridden, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Pridden, 713 Amelia St. A Lancaster bomber gunner, he was killed during air operations. He had been overseas since 1940. He married an English lass while based in England. He left behind his young wife and child.

Mr. and Mrs. John McDonald of RR 1 Cornwall (Silmser Road) were notified by the war department that their son, 21-year-old Sgt. Andrew McDonald, an air gunner, first reported missing in action on April 19 was now listed as killed in action. They had held out hope that he had survived and was taken prisoner.

Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Lamarche of 719 Montreal Rd. were informed that their son, Pte. Rheal Lamarche, 22, had been wounded. Mrs. Martha Brown, 633 Pitt St., was notified that her son, Pte. Lawrence Brown, had been wounded in action. A telegram arrived at the city home of Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Lemieux. Their son, Pte. Dalton Lemieux, 23, had been wounded.

Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Lebano, 5 MacDonald Ave., received Christmas greetings from their son, Pte. Clayton Lebano who was spending his fifth Christmas overseas. Serviss Keith Ransom, son of Harry Ransom of Dickinson’s Landing, was spending Christmas with the Royal Navy in the Pacific. Flight Sgt. Bill Bentley of Summertown was serving with a fighter squadron based in Ceylon. Vivian Morin, 221A First St. W., received a telegram from her husband Flight Sgt. Percy Morin who was celebrating his 31st birthday overseas.

Pte. Cecil Watts, home on a 30-day leave from the Italian campaign, said that Allied troops were well received by residents of Sicily and Italy.

He was spending time with his wife and three young children who he hadn’t seen in two years.

On the home front, the Christmas rush and cold weather were putting a strain on street cars operated by Cornwall Street Railway Light and Power Co. The company noted that it was doing its best to accommodate the crush of riders during the Christmas holiday season. It noted that a lack of manpower and difficulty in maintaining the fleet because of a shortage of parts caused by a fifth winter of war were hampering efforts to keep street cars running.

Like so many things, candy was in short supply. So when word got out that a shipment had arrived at a Pitt Street candy store four days before Christmas a long line of sweet-seeking residents formed outside before the doors

Marc Crawford’s head coaching return With the underachieving Ottawa Senators struggling to get back into the playoff hunt, Marc Crawford’s return as a head coach might be sooner than expected.

The Sens need a strong run to join the playoff race and save head coach Guy Boucher’s job.

Conventional wisdom says that if the Senators haven’t moved up in the standings by the end of the month, there will be a coaching change and the logical move would be to turn the reins over to associate coach Crawford who won a Stanley Cup with Colorado.

Last week general manager Pierre Dorion gave Boucher a vote of confidence. Many times such a proclamation has been the kiss of death for a coach. Translated: A stay of execution. ********************* Pete Prevost, the tough little defenceman (5-7, 150 pounds), who played two seasons with the Central Junior Hockey League Royals (196567) lives in Clinton, N.Y. where he spent three seasons with the Clinton Comets of the rock ‘em,

sock ‘em Eastern Hockey League.

Prevost, a product of the old Holy Name Juvenile Hockey League that produced so many junior players, was drafted by the expansion Minnesota North Stars who assigned him to Memphis but soon after he landed in Clinton along with another ex-Royal, Jim Cotnam.

Two years ago Prevost in a newspaper story on the old Comets summed up the EHL as “rough and dirty.” With a small payroll and short bench EHL players battled through injuries, long bus rides and $5-a-day meal allowances.

Prevost became a U.S. citizen in 1972.

Years ago Life Magazine ran a photo spread on the National Football League. A centre-spread shot, taken on a cold, wet day, showed a linebacker, with a bloodied nose and blood-stained gauze covering his hands, waiting for the next play.

CORNWALL, Ontario - On Saturday Nov. 25 the Peewee C2 Selects won the Annual Smith Falls Tournament. The one-day tournament started out with a 5-0 victory over the Ottawa Centre Ice Hawks. Next up in the “A” semifinals they faced the Gananoque Reds. In a tight match up the Selects pulled out a late 3rd

period comeback to defeat the Reds 3-1. The final saw the Selects face the other squad from Gananoque. The road to the gold medal saw the Selects comeback from an earlier 2-0 deficit with another huge 3rd period comeback to defeat the Gananoque Whites 4-2.

a first name basis by the end of the month. They will have played each other 16 times since Oct. 20 (six preseason). When the regular season wraps up on April 7, they will have played each other 30 times, 24 of those games part of the 56-game regular season. .... According to the Men’s Journal magazine, the Federal Hockey League has the lowest paid pro players in the sport with the average player earning just under $300 a week. (The league has a $5,000 a week salary cap). That works out to about $150 a game. Might be a good idea to have franchises in city’s with a food bank. But hey, the league has dental insurance for the players.

TICK OF THE SPORTS CLOCK While playing for the Kingston Frontenacs, Cornwall’s Orval Tessier ran away with the 1959-60 Eastern Professional Hockey League regular season scoring title with 126 points (49-77). At the time, the 126 points was a professional hockey record. Eight years later Phil Esposito of the Boston Bruins would set an NHL record with 126 points (49-77). Espo would shatter that mark in the 1970-71 season with 152 points (76-76).

Colts charity game The Fourth Annual Benson Colts Charity Hockey Game was a great success and raised $4,500 for the St. Vincent de Paul Society. In the game itself, Team MacInnis went over on Team McBride 10-8 and later some of the participants headed to Shoeless Joes where part of every meal purchased went to the St. Vincent de Paul society.

Nats connect for fourth straight victory Provided by the Cornwall Nationals CORNWALL, Ontario – Two Federal Hockey League teams heading in opposite directions collided at the Civic Complex on Saturday night and the result was almost predictable.

Cornwall skated to a 5-4 victory over the North Shore Knights in front of 682 fans. It was the first-place Nationals’ fourth straight win and the Knights’ seventh straight defeat.

Maxime Guyon led the Cornwall attack with a five-point performance (two goals and three assists). The Nationals improved to 9-2-0-2.

The Knights struck first on a goal by Patrick Porkka just 16 seconds into the contest.

The speedy Guyon then dashed up the left wing, beat a North Shore defender and found a wide-open Ahmed Mahfouz, who leveled the

score for Cornwall at 5:33 of the first.

Brandon Vuic gave the Nationals a 2-1 lead with 3:02 to go in the opening period. Guyon’s shot was stopped but Vuic pounced on the rebound to beat North Shore goaltender Adam Zeman for a powerplay marker.

Cornwall opened up a two-goal lead just 46 seconds into the second period on a Guyon goal.

The Knights fought back however on a pair of Matyas Kasek markers at 6:21 and 10:19 of the middle frame.

Moments after taking a hard hit from Dominik Fejt, Mahfouz gave the Nationals the lead once again with 4:28 to go in the second, burying a perfect pass from Guyon. On the ensuing faceoff, Cornwall defenceman Jay Kenney dropped the gloves with Fejt to the delight of the local fans.

Guyon then scored his second of the evening with an unassisted effort with 1:48 to play in the second to give the Nationals a 5-3 lead.

But, North Shore fought back on a goal by Kasek, who beat Sebastien Dube-Rochon once again for his third of the contest, at 12:06 of the third.

Cornwall outshot North Shore 47-35. Guyon (first), Mahfouz (second), and Kasek were the announced stars.

ROAD VICTORY: On Friday night at Watertown, Guyon scored a hat trick to lead the Nationals to a 5-3 win over the Wolves.

Sylvester Bzdyl and Tom Tsicos also scored for Cornwall, while Mahfouz and defenceman Patrick Harrison chipped in a pair of assists.

Tyler Beskorowany was outstanding in goal for the Nationals, turning aside 57-of-60 shots faced to earn the victory.

NEXT WEEKEND: The Nationals are back on home ice for a pair of contests next weekend.

Cornwall hosts the Danville Dashers on Friday, Dec. 22 and the Port Huron Prowlers on Saturday, Dec. 23. Both FHL contests begin at 7:30 p.m.

Chad Bissonnette, Special to TC Media CORNWALL, Ontario- La Citadelle will be looking for a new head coach next season as Marc Renaud retires from coaching football.

“When I first began this journey it was just to help out for a couple of years.”said Renaud.

“After 2 years, there was still no one interested or comfortable in taking over. I stayed a few more years but at the end of the 2015 season, made it clear that 2017 would be my last season. It is simply time for me to move on and give someone else an opportunity. I would like to spend some quality time with my family.”

Renaud has been the teams lone head coach since their football program was brought back in 2011. He has done a lot for this team including leading them to their first SD&G football title this season.

“We had no idea at the beginning of the season how far we would get.” said Renaud. “We had a solid core group but the rest was very inexperienced. We were literally planning one game at a time and prepared for each game according to our opponent.”

He then continued on by recounting some of his best memories about coaching this team.

“The opportunity to start every season with a whole new team.” said Renaud. “My philosophy that I lived by was that we were here to teach football. It is a school environment, a place to learn. With so many new players each season, we were always starting from scratch.

By the end of each season, we had developed these individuals into football players. To see them improve weekly was very rewarding.”

The Patriotes will look to continue their success next season under their new head coach but, they will never forget these years led by Renaud.

Local curling team claims men’s title Submitted by Cornwall Curling Club CORNWALL, Ontario – The 31st edition of the Labatt Cornwall Men’s Invitational Bonspiel ended with Kevin Baker’s rink defeating another Cornwall team in the A Final. It is the second time Baker has claimed the title, but the first time 2 Cornwall teams battled for the championship in the 31 years the event has been held.

The A event pitted Kevin Baker’s team against another strong local team skipped by Matt Dupuis. The close match went the distance with Baker edging Dupuis in the end. “We caught a

couple of early breaks that gave us a small lead”, said Baker, “and we were able to hold Matt and his team off.”

In other results, Spencer Cooper (Ottawa Curling Club) beat John Wright (Cornwall) in the B Final, the C Final saw Bill Sobering Jr. (Rideau Curling Club) defeat Mike Villeneuve’s Team (Cornwall), and in the D Final Seb Soucy (Navy Curling Club) edged past the Bob Reynolds rink from Dalhousie Lake).

JOYEUSES FÊTES ET BONNE ANNÉE!

A trip to the stars

By Andrzej Terrence, Special to TC Media

UNE NOUVELLE ANNÉE C’EST

NOUVELLES OCCASIONS

CORNWALL, Ontario - St. John’s Presbyterian Church held their annual Christmas pageant on Sunday Dec. 17, however, they added twist.

This year, Debbie Plant with the help of the Church’s youth group themed their pageant to Star Wars.

Plant has run the pageant for 12 years and this year the decision to style it after Star Wars was overwhelming.

“Star Wars has always been a passion for me and I like to get the kids involved with choosing the pageant,” said Plant.

Plant has seen newest Star Wars, the Last Jedi, that was released last Friday.

The church’s elders approved of the themed approach due to it’s out of the box nature.

Rev. Ian Johnston with St. John’s Church agreed with the idea saying, “The church today has to be able to portray the message in accordance to the language that the younger generation are involved

DE RIRE , D’INVENTER

ET DE CRÉER!

with. I think it’s great!”

The story follows the original nativity from the perspective of the Magi also known as the Jedi as they search for a newborn King.

“The Bible is the story of good and evil so you can look at Star Wars with a common thread of having a saviour and a battle between the same good and evil,” explained Plant.

All of the characters were based on those from Star Wars including Luke Skywatcher played by Lauren Thomas, Yoma played by Deanne Gill, and Darth Herod played by Keppel Bharath.

Some other characters include Mary by Amanda Mullin, Only One Kenobi by Gwanyama, Herod’s Advisor by Nico Fourkiotis and two readers Monica Brown and Innes Adams.

“It’s something new for the people to experience and is interesting to see their response,” said Johnston.

Claine and the youth group started to work on the pageant in Nov. working twice a week until their performance.

Les phénomènes climatiques extrêmes sont fréquemment mentionnés dans l’actualité.

Dans notre région, la Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) réduit les risques afin de sauvegarder des vies et d’éviter les pertes matérielles en informant les municipalités et les résidents sur les potentielles inondations.

Les prévisions de crues réagissent aux événements météorologiques rencontrés dans un bassin versant et les comparent au fil du temps.

La prévision et l’avertissement relativement aux inondations constituent également une réponse importante aux épisodes de précipitations intenses.

En plus de la prévision des crues, la CNS est en train de mettre à jour et d’améliorer les cartes de la plaine inondable et de la stabilité des pentes pour les parties de la ville d’Ottawa qui relèvent de la compétence de la CNS. Cette année, la priorité comprend les secteurs du ruisseau Devine, de l’intersection du chemin Forced et de la route Rockdale jusqu’à l’intersection des chemins Russland et Rockdale; le ruisseau Marshall Seguin, de l’intersection des chemins Devine et Rockdale jusqu’au chemin Rockdale à l’autoroute 417; et le ruisseau Nelson Charlebois de l’intersection des rues Trim et Giroux jusqu’au sentier Prescott et Russell sur le chemin Frank Kenny.

La CNS invite les résidents à assister à une journée portes ouvertes afin de consulter et de commenter les nouvelles cartes sur les risques naturels dans leur région dans la ville d’Ottawa.

La journée portes ouvertes aura lieu le jeudi 8 février 2018 de 19 h à 21 h à l’École élémentaire catholique Saint-Guillaume à Vars, en Ontario. « Nous sommes particulièrement intéressés par les informations historiques que les résidents pourraient être en mesure de fournir pour ces cours d’eau. » a déclaré Sandra Mancini,

actualités

Une histoire à raconter Croyez-vous aux miracles? Je ne parle pas ici d’événements extraordinaires où l’on croit reconnaître une intervention divine bienveillante mais plutôt les petits miracles, ces événements singuliers et merveilleux qui viennent changer votre vie, qui viennent vous faire réaliser que la vie a un dessein et que le bonheur est réalisable.

J’ai grandi sur la rue Danis. Ici, je dois faire une précision importante, « sur la rue Danis en haut de la côte ». Ce n’est pas qu’il y avait une différence entre les gens qui vivaient en haut ou en bas de la côte mais c’était plutôt un fait géographique.

L’hiver, c’était plus facile pour les gars du voisinage d’en haut de s’accrocher au pare-choc arrière du trolleybus et de se laisser glisser en bas. Toutes ces activités interdites par nos parents que je savourais à leur insu, je garde pour une autre histoire.

J’étais l’aîné et le seul garçon d’une famille de sept enfants, donc six soeurs me suivaient dans cette hiérarchie familiale. Ces grandes familles étaient une réalité qui se vivait dans plusieurs foyers. Comme ma mère disait « des enfants y’en mouillaient ».

Comme à tous les vendredis, spécifiquement au temps des Fêtes, papa et maman partaient avec un certaine satisfaction pour faire les emplettes et des courses. Pour nous, adolescents, une fois les parents partis, nous accueillions à bras

ouverts une certaine liberté. Du moins, c’était le cas pour moi car j’avais 13 ans, j’étais l’aîné et comme le disait papa, « j’avais le diable par la queue ».

Le temps des Fêtes approchait à grands pas.

L’esprit de Noël était dans l’air, si non dans le corps.

Le sol était couvert d’une mince couche de neige blanche et j’anticipais toujours avec impatience une tempête de neige avant Noël. Il neigeait un peu ce soir-là. À tous moments, j’allais à la porte d’en avant vérifier s’il neigeait plus fort. Pour y arriver, je regardais par la fenêtre octogonale de la porte. J’enlignais doucement la colonne de fer forgé du perron en la superposant sur la lampe du lampadaire de rue qui était situé devant la maison des Mitchell. Ceci me permettait de mettre en contraste au ciel sombre les flocons blancs qui tourbillonnaient vers un sol accueillant. C’était mon rituel de ce temps de l’année.

Ce soir-là, comme d’habitude, je taquinais amicalement mes soeurs. J’étais le seul gars et je devais m’affirmer devant ce nombre grandissant de filles. Aussi surprenant que cela puisse être la tempête que je désirais à l’extérieur se trouvait à l’intérieur de la maison. Mes soeurs s’époumonaient, il y avait de la bousculade et elles se précipitaient à toute vitesse autour de la table de cuisine pour se sauver de leur grand frère. À quelques reprises j’étais l’évadé en danger de mort certaine, car mes soeurs Louise, Hélène et Aline étaient ensemble des adversaires de taille.

Voici ce que certains grands de la classe de Mme Sabourin retiennent de leur expérience: Josée-Rae Labelle: “J’ai remarqué l’expression d’excitation sur le visage des petits!”

Maude Millette: “Je suis étonnée de constater la grande générosité des familles de notre école!”

Olivia Dazé: “Les élèves ne pouvaient pas s’empêcher de se mettre à jouer immédiatement avec leur nouveau trésor.”

Yan Cyr: “La joie était l’émotion du jour chez les élèves dès qu’ils voyaient les jouets.”

Haylie Locey: “J’ai aimé voir que les petits étaient très contents de la grande variété de choix. Ils allaient d’un jouet à l’autre et le choix était difficile”.

Comme quoi l’expression: “Le déchet de quelqu’un est le trésor de l’autre” est absolument vrai!

L’article de cette semaine a été composé en collaboration avec les élèves de la classe de 6e année de Mme France Sabourin. Nous désirons vous faire découvrir un événement de partage et de recyclage de notre école: Le Bazar de livres et de jouets. Cet événement a eut lieu le mercredi 6 décembre dernier.

Un tel événement nécessite l’appui des parents de notre école. Ils ont été sollicités pour donner des jouets et des livres usagés de leur maison qui ne servent plus. Nous avons constaté la grande générosité des familles de notre école. Le comité de l’environnement, composé d’élèves de 6e année de notre école, était chargé de recueillir les dons chaque matin pendant 3 jours avant l’événement.

Savez-vous que cet événement a été créé par notre directrice Mme Anick Roy lorsqu’elle était enseignante de 6e année?

Cette activité a pour but de donner une 2e vie à des jouets et livres non utilisés d’une maison et aussi de partager avec les organismes de notre ville: Maison Baldwin et Centre Agapé.

Voici ce qui se passe lorsqu’un élève apporte un jouet à l’école, il reçoit un billet. C’est la même chose lorsqu’il apporte un livre. Cependant, même si un élève fait un don de plusieurs jouets, il reçoit quand même un seul billet. C’est ce qui permet de faire un don de jouets à la fin de l’événement.

Ce billet donne le droit à l’élève d’aller choisir un livre ou un jouet selon ce qu’il a apporté lors du bazar.

Le matin de l’événement, tous les dons ont été classés dans notre gymnase sous différentes catégories: sport, électronique, jeux de société, poupées, jouets pour enfants, figurines, toutous, légos, autos miniatures, casse-tête et autres. Pour les livres, les catégories suivantes ont été vues: bandes-dessinées, jeunes, romans, informatiques, animaux, livres à colorier et autres. Ce n’est pas le choix qui manque! À la fin de la journée, tout ce qui restait a été placé dans des sacs en attente de leur cueillette par le Centre Agapé. Pour les dons à la maison Baldwin, c’est Mme Anick qui en a fait la livraison.

Heureusement pour moi, ce soir là pas de trous dans les murs et rien de brisé.

Il se faisait tard, peut-être était-il aux environs de 20h30, nous attendions l’arrivée de papa et maman avec anticipation. Pour mes soeurs, la raison était bien évidente. Enfin, l’activité tonitruante d’après souper était maintenant revenue à un calme endurable et le dodo se préparait peu à peu.

Tout à coup, sans avertissement, la porte arrière s’ouvrit. Un bruit de pas pesants et de secouage de sacs pleins de toutes sortes de choses, intercalés de voix incompréhensibles se firent entendre. Tout de suite nous savions que papa et maman étaient de retour. Plein de crainte, je suis resté assis sur la chaise de cuirette brune dans le salon, caché des autres et un peu sur le qui vive. Tandis ce temps Louise, Hélène et Aline d’un air défiant, avec un regard qui aurait pu tuer un ours, se précipitaient à grande course vers nos parents, énonçant à voix haute toutes les injustices que j’avais pu leur avoir fait vivre pendant leur absence. « Pas encore! Calmez-vous! » nous dit maman d’une voix sévère mais compréhensive. J’écoutais attentivement ce qui se passait de l’autre côté du mur du salon. C’était maintenant raisonnablement calme.

Après quelques longues minutes, je pris mon courage à deux mains et je me rendis dans la cuisine pour faire face à la réprimande mais surtout pour faire partie des festives activités familiales.

Papa demeura calme, sans parole et me regarda avec ses yeux expressifs qui me traitaient de « sans dessein ». Aujourd’hui je réalise qu’il avait raison.

Quelque chose n’était pas normal. La réaction calme de papa et maman n’était pas du tout ce que je m’attendais. De nouveau, papa sortit de la maison et maman exprima avec fierté et beaucoup de satisfaction : « Nous avons une surprise ce soir! » Tout d’un coup, les sottises vécues avant leur arrivée furent oubliées. Tous les enfants étaient à la porte d’en arrière pour voir le nouvel achat. « Un stéréo! » Papa entra avec un meuble. Maman s’empressa

d’aller le rejoindre en indiquant l’endroit où le placer. C’était un meuble tourne-disque stéréo, pas n’importe quoi! Papa le déposa doucement pendant que maman s’empressait de sortir un disque d’un sac. C’était le disque de Noël de Dean Martin.

Papa dit d’un air enjoué : « C’est un bon deal, car le vendeur de Zellers nous l’a donné gratuitement avec l’achat du tourne-disque! » Aussitôt, toute la maisonnée attendait avec impatience pour écouter ces nouveaux sons musicaux. Maman plaça le disque délicatement sur l’axe et tourna la manette de commande. Le disque tomba sur le plateau, le bras de lecture se mit à bouger et se déposa tout doucement sur le disque. À notre émerveillement, la musique de White Christmas se mit à jouer avec la voix profonde et enivrante de Dean Martin. Tous, nous étions heureux de pouvoir entendre cette belle musique de Noël en stéréo. C’était de la qualité!

Pour moi, cette expérience fut tout à fait extraordinaire. J’ai ressenti à ce moment-là un grand confort et une chaleur familiale qui touchaient le plus profond de mon être. Nous n’étions pas une famille « en moyens », papa travaillait fort pour arriver et maman était toujours là pour organiser la maisonnée. Malgré tout, ce soir là, papa et maman s’étaient permis une petite dépense bien spéciale.

Papa, assis devant le stéréo sur une chaise de cuisine, examinait rigoureusement de haut en bas ce nouveau meuble. Maman, de son côté, se mit à ranger et à entreposer les achats au son de la musique.

Quelle belle soirée! Avec un soupir de satisfaction et un calme relatif, les filles se sont dirigées vers leur chambre à coucher.

C’est vrai que c’était un genre de cadeau de Noël avant Noël mais je suis certain que le stéréo n’était pas pour les disques de maman ou de papa mais surtout pour les disques d’un groupe de jeunes filles qui grandissaient vite et pour qui la musique devenait de plus en plus importante.

Depuis ce jour, à ce temps nostalgique de l’année qu’est Noël, je revis en pensée ces beaux moments passés en famille, en écoutant, étendu sur mon divan, White Christmas » de Dean Martin.

Sheila A. Froats “Sassy” Dec. 19, 2011

PAT DESCHAMPS

God looked upon His garden, and found an empty space.

He then looked down from heaven, upon the earth, and saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you, and lifted you to rest; God’s garden must be beautiful, for He only takes the best.

He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, He then closed your weary eyes and whispered, “Peace be thine.”

It broke out hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.

For part of us went with you, to God’s garden, your new home.

Sadly missed, and forever in our hearts.

Love, Dale, Debbie, Cassie and Cole

According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December.

Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring. Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition depicting Santa’s reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be a girl.

We should have known... ONLY women would be able to drag a fat man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.

Winter MaintenanCe inforMation Your assistance during the winter season will help the Township of South Stormont Public Works Department provide efficient and effective winter maintenance. Your cooperation with snow removal is very much appreciated.

• Trucks with flashing blue lights are performing winter maintenance. Please give them room to work. Pass with caution, as visibility may be compromised because of blowing snow.

• Park your vehicle in your driveway, well off the road, until street and sidewalk cleaning operations are complete. This allows our crews to do their job and make the streets and sidewalks safe for everyone.

• Current policy states that the Public Works Department will only replace a mailbox if the post or box has a direct hit from the Township’s snowplow. Avoid installing mailboxes where they can be damaged by plowing operations. Canada Post can provide guidelines concerning the proper distances from road surfaces.

Holiday Safety - Cooking, Smoking and Alcohol….

A Dangerous Mix The holidays can be one of the most dangerous times of the year for home fires. All too often, these fires are started by careless cooking or smoking. In many cases alcohol is involved. Here are some holiday tips to keep you and your family safe: 1. Stay in the kitchen when cooking.

2. Drink responsibly.

3. If you smoke, smoke outside.

4. Install and test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and practice your home fire escape plan with all guests and family members.
