Jesse Winchester dropping the gloves to fight cancer Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - Long Sault native and former Ottawa Senator Jesse Winchester is partnering with the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) of SD&G and Prescott-Russell in the fight against cancer.

Winchester will be helping the CCS raise awareness and funds for their programs, including their transportation service.

“Almost everyone is touched by cancer in some way,” said Winchester. “Partnering with the Canadian Cancer Society in the fight against cancer in our community was an easy decision for me to make. If I can help encourage people to live a healthy lifestyle and have regular checkups with their doctors, I’ll know that I’m doing what I can to help beat this disease.”

Winchester’s involvement in the campaign is a part of the Hockey Fights Cancer campaign, CSS’ three-year partnership with the NHL and the National Hockey League Players Association

NHLPA. The NHL’s ambassador for the campaign this year is Nicholle Anderson, wife of Ottawa Senator Craig Anderson. Nicholle was diagnosed with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, a rare form of nose and throat cancer. As of May 2017 Nicholle is cancer free after months of chemotherapy treatment.

In Cornwall, Jesse Winchester will be holding a workout fundraiser with personal trainer Jason Dennis at Summit Fitness on Jan. 20.

“We are thrilled to team up with Jesse to raise awareness about cancer in our community.

We hope that his example will inspire others take up the fight as well,” said Allison St. Jean, Community Fundraising Specialist for CCS .

Tickets for the workout are $35 with $25 from each donation going to help the CCS. For more information about the event or about tickets please contact Jason@summitfitnessclub.com or call 613-930-2445.

NOTICE OF COMPLETION OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING Cornwall Waste Disposal Site, City of Cornwall

PROJECT The City of Cornwall has undertaken an Environmental Screening to permit the Cornwall Waste Disposal Site to accept waste from The Council of Mohawk Akwesasne’s Cornwall Island location. This location is outside of the current service area. The City has previously sent out a Notice of Commencement and a Notice of Consultation on this matter.

The Waste Disposal Site is currently approved to accept solid non-hazardous waste generated from the City of Cornwall, Municipal Hazardous and Special Waste (MHSW) generated from the City of Cornwall, South Stormont, South Glengarry, and North Stormont at the MHSW Depot located at the Waste Disposal Site for transfer to recycling/processing sites.

The City proposes to accept waste from the following location: The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne location on Cornwall, Island, Ontario. Akwesasne’s curbside residential waste would be disposed of at Waste Disposal Site. The proposed changes will not change the Waste Disposal Site’s approved rate of fill (amount of waste the Landfill can receive in a year), the types of waste that can be accepted, the size or capacity of the Landfill or engineering controls to protect the environment and mitigate nuisance impacts. Physical changes to the Waste Disposal Site are not required.

ELEVATION REQUESTS Any comments submitted will be reviewed and the City will attempt to resolve any issue raised by concerned parties prior to the end of the public review period. In the event any concerns cannot be resolved, the concerned party may submit a written request to elevate the Project to: Director of the Environmental Assessment Approvals Branch Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change 2 St. Clair Avenue West, Floor 14 Toronto, Ontario M4V 1L5 Fax # : 416-314-8452

CORNWALL, Ontario - The first weekend in January brought some of the coldest days that Cornwall and the Counties have seen in a long time.

Saturday saw a high temperature in the minus 20s, but it felt more like -30 with the wind chill. At some points the outside temperature felt as cold as nearly -40.

Environment Canada warned the public that being outside for any extended period of time could result in frostbite.

One good Samaritan decided to do what

she could to help keep members of the community out of the cold.

Tammy Marion decided to use part of her weekend to give people rides so they could get around without getting frozen.

“I couldn’t imagine my family or friends having to walk in this weather,” she said in an interview with Seaway News. “So I posted on Facebook if anyone needed a ride to call me.

My cousin Joel sent me a message and asked for a ride to the gym. Once I dropped him off I decided to drive around and look for people.”

Youth Darts Club right on target Alycia Douglass alycia.douglass@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - An Adult/Youth Triples Tournament took place this Saturday, Jan. 6 at the Moose Lodge in support of Cornwall Youth Darts.

The event combines the skills of adult dart players and at least one youth to partake in some friendly competition - all while raising money for upcoming tournaments.

“They’re raising money to go to their zone shoot in Ottawa in two weeks,” said Kim Mills, of Cornwall Youth Darts. “However well they do there, they will go to provincials in St. Catharines

during March Break.”

With nine teams of three, Mills says she’s happy with the turnout, with the majority of teams made up of parents and children.

“It’s great to see people coming out and supporting the kids,” said Mills. “We are always looking for donations to either give out as prizes at our tournaments or help the kids compete.”

Mills says that while there are currently 12 involved in youth darts, the group is always open to new members. The group meets every Saturday between 9-11:30 at the Moose Lodge from Sept. through to the end of March.

The crew is stirring up something good for this year’s Italian Night. Pictured from left-to-right are: Roy Perkins, Rick Shaver, Bill Makinson, Lori Greer and Thom Racine. (Nick Seebruch/ TC Media).

Stirring up a good time Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - Tickets are now on-sale for the United Way’s Italian Night which is taking place Friday, Jan. 12 at the Cornwall Legion.

Tickets are going fast. They are $25 each and are available at Rona, the Cornwall Legion and through the United Way at 613-330-6432 or by email at lori@ unitedwaysdg.com This is the first year that the Italian Night fundraiser will be supporting the United Way. The event was previously organized by, and supported, the MS Society.

Karen Torrie-Racine of the local MS Society Chapter is retiring, as are all of the Leadership Volunteers after 35 years of community fundraising.

The MS Society decided to pass along their annual event to the United Way.

“The United Way supports 14 important community programs,” explained Racine.

“We’re thrilled,” said United Way Executive Director Lori Greer. “I’ve attended many times. It’s a terrific event. We’re shifting what we’re doing to have events outside of our usual Fall push and this lines up with that.”

The United Way and volunteers from the MS Society will be working together this year to make sure that this Italian Night is another big success.

Once again Casa Paolo will be providing some of the delicious pasta sauce and Casa Paolo is one of Italian Night’s corporate sponsors alongside Rona Home Centre, the Sign Factory, Riley’s and Tim Hortons.

Entertainment this year will be provided by the returning Kealey-Greer All-Star Band.

There are 300 tickets available and they go quick.

Last year’s Italian Night was completely sold out.

“People were coming in and making their own grooves,” said. “Now we have a wonderful group of volunteers who groom and maintain the trails. It’s fantastic.”

FOTST President, Jean-Pierre Tibi extended warm thanks to the township of South Glengarry for helping to create an additional parking lot for visibility and awareness.

“What you see here is an example of a very productive partnership between a township and a citizen’s group,” said Tibi, garnering a heavily-mitted applause. “This is just another step on a trail to bring the community together.”

From your comfortable vantage point inside, press a button or two on the remote and your ignition starts. Your parking lights flash to signal it’s worked. To prevent a thief from driving off in your running car, the vehicle remains locked until you unlock it.

You must also turn the key in the ignition before you can put the car in gear. If you change your mind, the remote starter can also turn off the engine, or the brake pedal acts as a kill switch.

The remote starter is now available as a luxury add-on that can include a complete security system with alarm, two-way alarm notification, a different frequency each time you use the remote, the ability to transmit up to a mile and through concrete walls (in case you need to start your car from another part of town), an LCD status display, a temperature sensor that

Celebrating 106 years Nick Seebruch

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - At 106, Stella Deneault is still as sharp as they come.

“I feel pretty good,” said Denault from her room at Woodland Villa in Long Sault. “The only thing is my eyes and my ears.”

Denault is hard of hearing and blind, but her memory does not fail her and neither does her spirit.

“The secret is that you don’t know so I always took it one day at a time,” she said. “When you live, you don’t know what will happen tomorrow.”

Deneault has lived in the Cornwall area since she was 10-years-old when she moved into the city with her mother from Coteau Station. She

has seen a lot of changes in the region since then.

She has seen business come and go and has seen social norms change. Deneault remembers a time when married women were not allowed to work. At the age of 21, Stella Deneault was working at the Courtaulds textile factory in the reel room. She was also planning to get married, which she did at St. Columban’s Church in Cornwall on the night of Dec. 26, 1932. Deneault said that she chose to get married during the Christmas break because she would not have to take time off work. Denault did not want her employer to know she was married because she did not want to lose her job. A fellow employee however let it slip to her supervisor that she had married over the holidays and she was let go.

“I liked it because I was making $12 a week,” she said. “It’s not like today where you make that in an hour, that was a lot of money back then.”

Deneault has done some traveling in her time to Paris, France and Las Vegas, which she says she had been to quite a bit.

Stella Deneault has 12 children, 38 grandchildren, 71 great grandchildren, 39 great great grandchildren, 12 great great great grandchildren and 2 great great great grandchildren. She will be celebrating her 106 birthday with some members of her large family, as well as some of her friends at Woodland Villa in Long Sault on Sunday, Jan. 21 from 1 p.m. If you are stopping by to visit Stella and to wish her a happy birthday, please just bring your best wishes and a smile.

Memories of Downtown Cornwall Sara Lauzon Wayback Playback

Pitt Street has remained one of Cornwall’s main arteries since our city was founded in 1784. Old postcards of Pitt Street depict dozens of buildings and establishments along the city streets, and although these businesses continuously changed as the years have passed, many of these “Cornwall landmarks” have held a lasting impression on city residents today.

Pitt Street once mirrored Sydney Street, and had buildings aligning the road right up until Water Street. In 1979, many buildings and a sizable portion of Horovitz Park were removed to create room for Cornwall Square. One “hot spot” that was lost, was the Lloyd George Hotel. Many people enjoyed a 10-cent draft at the Wharf in the basement of the building.

On Monday, August 7, 1933 a group of about three young boys were seen playing behind Fursey’s Garage and the Victoria Arena. (Today, this area is behind Riley’s Bakery where the new

In the 1980s, the Colossus Restaurant was located at the South-East corner of Pitt and Second. During this time, Pitt Street (between First and Second, and Second and Third) was a Promenade.

Courthouse presently is.) In the midst of their amusement, it is claimed by news reports that the boys decided to make a small fire that they never bothered to put out. Cornwall would witness its biggest disaster, causing businesses between Second and Third Streets (on the West side of Pitt Street) to be completely gutted and destroyed by flames. The estimated cause of damage was $1,000,000.

In the 1950s, the streets were often flooded with people, so much so, that city residents were assisted across the streets on busier days by a police officer at the corner of Pitt and Second Streets. A staple fixture at the NorthWest corner of that busy location, was the Post Office building. Unfortunately, the city believed the building would “topple over”, so it’s fate became the wrecking ball in 1954. Despite the city’s fears of it falling over, it took over 120 blows from the wrecking ball to make the building budge even the slightest.

In 1970s, Pitt Street was a two-way street.

Many familiar stores aligned the streets with neon signs to greet their clientele. Many people will remember: Jack Lee’s, Peoples, the Metropolitan, the Palace Theatre, Millers Men’s

Pitt Street has had dozens of makeovers, been faced with countless fires, and has changed from a Promenade, a one-way, and a two-way street. It comes with no surprise that one of Cornwall’s most historic locations, is Pitt Street.

Urging for increase in camp age limit Alycia Douglass alycia.douglass@tc.tc

SOUTH STORMONT, Ontario - Long Sault resident, Katie Mosher-Nicholls recently started a petition to raise or abolish the age limit at Easter Seals Camp Merrywood in Perth.

Mosher-Nicholls has been attending the camp for two decades, and will not have the opportunity to return this year.

The camp is fully accessible and caters to children with disabilities. Mosher-Nicholls who was born with Duchene Muscular Dystrophy says that it’s the only place she’s able to be independent of her parents.

“I’ve been going since I was six years old. A

lot of the same girls go, and it’s the one time I get to spend time with them in person,” said Mosher-Nicholls. “It’s the only place that has the equipment and medical staff and high ratio of staff to campers.”

Easter Seals Ontario Communications Director, Meredith Wiens says that the age limit has been put in place for a reason.

“A number of years ago Easter Seals implemented a camp program (GEAR UP) for a limited number over age campers (19 - 26),” said Wiens.

“It is not appropriate or responsible to extend the age limit of campers as it will be too great of an age gap between the younger campers and the older campers.”

Wiens says the GEAR UP program was

implemented to help young adults transition out of the camping program, and has proven difficult for some young adults to move on once they reach the upper age limit of our camp program.

“We’re happy so many young people enjoy our camp programs and we hope they find other recreation programs as adults they enjoy as much,” said Wiens.

While many campers know that their 26th year will inevitably be their last, Mosher-Nicholls says that nothing prepares them for their last day of camp.

“It happens to all of us,” said Mosher-Nicholls.

“The letdown, sadness, loss of our second home.”

OPINION

It rolls down hill Nick Seebruch

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

The Ontario minimum wage jumped on Jan. 1 by more than $2 to $14 an hour. The minimum wage will rise again next year to $15 an hour. For some minimum wage employees, this will mean a bump in their budgets.

No matter where you fall on the minimum wage debate however, an increase in the minimum wage by $2 in one year will require businesses to make adjustments.

Tim Hortons chose to cut hours, breaks and benefits. Were there other options or alternatives that they could have considered, perhaps. Tim Hortons franchise owners could have chosen to pass a price increase onto their consumers or cut staff. Thankfully, I have not heard of any Tim Horton’s franchises cutting staff in response to the minimum wage increase. I’m also sure that many would be willing to pay a small increase in the cost of their donuts or coffee.

A Purdue University study from 2015 states that a $15 an hour minimum wage in the United States would raise prices by 4.3 percent, or a roughly $0.20 increase on the price of a Canadian Big Mac. Some businesses will unavoidably be hit by the minimum wage. If so, then I hope CEOs of businesses big or small approach those

challenges with the leadership style I recently heard in a TED Talk from Simon Sinek. In the talk, Sinek explains how American CEO Bob Chapman dealt with the financial recession of 2008 not by introducing layoffs, but by working with employees to find a mutual solution.

Sinek says that Chapman instituted a mandatory four-week unpaid holiday for every employee in his company from secretary to CEO. The vacation could be taken any time the employee wanted, and did not have to be taken consecutively. Quoting Chapman, Sinek said. “It is better that we all suffer a little, than a few of us suffer a lot.”

I hope that for those businesses negatively affected by the minimum wage increase, that they take this approach to solving the issue.

Labour councils, such as the Ottawa and District Labour Council, have put forth reports of employees who have been negatively affected by the minimum wage increase, we’ve seen some small businesses suggest price increases, which would hurt customers, and we’ve seen a storm of negative press against some small businesses and franchises who have tried to adjust to the minimum wage change. As I’ve stated, there are possible positive solutions to this issue if owners and employees work together. There is however, one party that has only seen a benefit to the minimum wage increase and that is the

Ontario Liberal government.

The government is now able to collect a lot more in taxes thanks to the minimum wage increase, that is of course dependent on businesses not cutting hours or positions. In addition to the potential increased revenue, there is also an increase in political capital for the Liberal party from minimum wage workers, at least potentially.

I think what the Ontario government should do to take some of the sting out of the minimum wage increase for employers is to make the increase revenue neutral for the government. The Wynne government should use their increase in tax revenue to incentivise small business owners and make it easier for them to not cut jobs or benefits.

Arusha, TANZANIA - School children in a remote village in Northern Tanzania had a “wonderful” Christmas thanks to an effort of a former Cornwall area resident.

Close to 50 children received special care food packages.

Alison Fraser, a former Cornwall area resident, said food packages were delivered to children’s families.

Food basics included flour, sugar, rice, soap, cooking oil and other items.

“If we get a deal, we try to include beans in

care packages,” added Fraser. “The supply lasts an average family one to two months.

Fraser, an environmental toxicologist, now living in Cambridge, On, is the founder and director of Mom2Momafrica, the not for profit organization supporting education of children and young women in Tanzania.

Food is purchased at a local market and then hand delivered.

“We have been doing this for a long time.”

What started as a small project sending three children to school in Arusha just a few years ago is now a fully fledged Canadian organization which has nearly 100 students in primary schools, one in secondary school and two in a college.

A little crystal ball gazing as we plunge into 2018: The Cornwall Community Police Service marathon 13-month deputy chief-to-chief “transition” will wrap up in December with Danny Aikman moving/easing into the top job. His deputy will come from within the ranks and will mark a milestone for the force. ...

Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry MPP Jim McDonell will be back in Queen’s Park after another landslide victory in June. At worst, Gentleman Jim will be given a parliamentary assistant portfolio. The last riding rep from Cornwall in provincial cabinet was Fern Guindon, labour minister in the Bill Davis cabinet. ... When the New Democratic Party and Liberal candidates bring up the name Mike Harris during the campaign, you will know they have hit bottom and are throwing their last hand grenades.

The Upper Canada District School Board will select a site for its new “super” school. A million reasons (as in that $1M Battista scholarship fund) why the board will work in Cornwall Collegiate when it comes to naming the new school. Sort of like having naming rights. ...

Shortly after taking over, Premier Patrick Brown will announce that the Liberals “cooked” the books and that the financial disaster is worse than thought.

The Liberals and NDP will be looking for new leaders after Kathleen Wynne and Andrea Horwath step down. ... About September, health officials will tell us we need to get a flu

shot. This will be followed by news in December that it is practically useless against the latest strain of the flu. But, they will say, hardly any protection is better than no protection. ... With a marijuana plant saving its economy, the town of Smiths Falls will consider renaming itself Budsville. ... We won’t have a four-person-per shift fire department. ... Stormont-DundasSouth Glengarry MP Guy Lauzon will announce that he will run in the expected 2019 federal election campaign and that it will be his last campaign. But, as they say, never say never. If re-elected, Lauzon could become the longest serving Cornwall and area MP and one of the longest serving members of the Conservative caucus. This will be his seventh campaign. He lost No. 1 way back in 2000. ... The first weedfest will be held in Lamoureux Park.

SEEN AND HEARD On the plate for the post-June election government at Queen’s Park will be a recommendation that the number of health units in the province be slashed to 14 from 36. This could write the final chapter for the Eastern Ontario Health Unit. ... Don Cherry called out the “left wing” media while preaching from the CBC pulpit? The people’s network has never been accused of being right wing. ... This is not good. Just three weeks into winter and stage two cabin fever is setting in. ...

letter to the editor

Pay ploy as Ontario,” Wynne said. “I hope he recognizes that his employees need to be treated decently.”

How heart-warming it is to see Kathleen Wynne taking the part of ordinary workers. She repeats the word decent twice and calls it bullying.

All taxpayers in Ontario who have lived

through 15 years of Liberal fiscal incompetence should send a message to the government of Kathleen Wynne and it should read: “I hope you understands this is really not a decent thing to be doing in a place as wealthy as Ontario. I hope you recognize that taxpayers need to be treated decently.”

This Liberal government does not care

about the effects their decisions have on the people of Ontario and they never have. I hope voters realize that this is a pre-election ploy to make people forget about all the scandals they have perpetrated since 2003. It is time to give this government a well-deserved ouster.

Iran condemns shooting of Iroquois man Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

MORRISBURG, Ontario - Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi condemned the shooting of an Iranian national at the OPP office in Morrisburg.

Babak Saidi was shot and killed by a Morrisburg OPP officer on Saturday, Dec. 23, 2017. Saidi had schizophrenia and was required to check-in at the detachment once a week after a 2014 conviction for assault and battery.

Saidi was 43 and had been living in Iroquois with family members.

“A member from the Morrisburg Detachment

of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) was involved in an altercation with an adult male outside of the Morrisburg OPP Detachment,” read the OPP’s statement on the incident.

“During the altercation the adult male sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. The officer is being treated for undetermined injuries.”

The Iranian Foreign Ministry released a statement on the shooting on Dec. 27. ““Unfortunately, we’ve learned that an Iranian citizen named Babak Saeedi (sic), who lived in Canada and who was ill, was gunned down by the [Canadian] police,” said spokesman

Bahram Qassemi in a statement. “We are reviewing the details of the issue and will call on official and relevant bodies to look into the issue to shed light on its dimensions and will demand an explanation from the Canadian government,” he said.

Qassemi said that Iranians in Canada often have issues reaching consular services.

“Over the past two years, extensive efforts have been made to create more favourable conditions to offer consular services to Iranian expats living in Canada, but the desirable result has not been achieved yet,” he said.

In 2012, the Canadian government under

Flag of Iran

then Prime Minister Stephen Harper severed diplomatic relations with Iran. Current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has stated that he is considering re-opening diplomatic ties.

more dusting. Cold climates call for more frequent wall washing because more heating means more airborne soil. Damp climates usually require more floor care and carpet cleaning. Rural areas mean mud and windblown powdery soil, urban areas black gritty airborne dirt. The more members in your household or the number of pets, the more frequent cleaning you’ll usually have to do. It is recommended either to do some cleaning every day, little tasks at a time or at total cleaning once per week.

La CNS et ses partenaires entretiennent 30 km de sentiers Communiqué de presse de la CNS

La CNS entretien en partenariat avec la municipalité de Russell une partie du sentier du New York Central entre Embrun et Russell.

La Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) invite les résidents et les visiteurs à profiter du réseau de sentiers entretenus pendant l’hiver à l’aires de conservation locale. « Les sentiers damés favorisent la pratique de plusieurs activités hivernales dont la marche, la raquette, le ski de fond, la marche avec les chiens, l’observation des oiseaux et la géocachette » a déclaré Philip Duncan, adjoint, Propriétés et approbations, de la CNS. Les sentiers entretenus en hiver se trouvent aux endroits suivants : la forêt Two Creeks près de Morrisburg, les aires de conservation Robert Graham près de Glen Stewart et J. Henry Tweed et W.E. Burton à Russell, la forêt Warwick à Berwick et le parc Nokomis à Limoges.

En plus des aires de conservation, la CNS et ses partenaires municipaux entretiennent des parcs et des sentiers offrant ainsi encore plus de possibilités de loisirs dans la région.

La longueur totale des sentiers entretenus est d’environ 30 km. Pour plus d’information au sujet des activités de loisirs d’hiver et la façon d’accéder aux sentiers entretenus, visitez le www.nation.on.ca/fr/loisirs/ récréation-en-hiver. « L’an dernier, plus de 64 000 personnes ont bénéficié gratuitement de notre réseau de 14 parcs de fréquentation diurne. Des activités de groupe y sont régulièrement présentées et sont toujours les bienvenues. La CNS demande simplement aux adeptes de la nature de respecter l’habitat et la faune et de ne pas s’aventurer hors des sentiers ».

POUR PLUS D’INFORMATIONS : Philip Duncan, 1-877-984-2948, poste 292, pduncan@ nation.on.ca.

A cop was patrolling late at night in a wellknown lover’s spot and he sees a couple in a car, with the interior light brightly glowing.

The cop carefully approaches the car to get a closer look. Then he sees a young man behind the wheel, reading a computer magazine. He immediately notices a young woman in the rear seat, knitting. Puzzled by this surprising situation, the cop walks to the car and gently raps on the driver’s window.

The young man lowers his window. “Uh, yes, officer?”

The cop says: “What are you doing?”

The young man says: “Well Officer, I’m reading a magazine.”

Pointing towards the young woman in the back seat the cop says: “And her, what is she doing?”

The young man shrugs: “Sir, I believe she’s knitting a pullover sweater.”

Now, the cop is totally confused.. A young couple, alone, in a car, at night in a Lover’s lane… and nothing obscene is happening!

The cop asks: “What’s your age, young man?”

The young man says “I’m 22, sir.”

The cop asks: “And her…what’s her age?”

The young man looks at his watch and replies: “She’ll be 18 in 11 minutes.”

Monday saw what had to be one of the shortest Cornwall City Council meetings on record. They are not going to stay that brief though because there is a lot still to do in the coming year.

Congratulations to Saint Regis Mohawk Tribal Chief Beverly Cook on receiving the Directors Award for Excellence from the Indian Health Service Nashville Area Office on Tsiothóhrha/December 7, 2017.
