Coffee and Common Kindness Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

2 - Wednesday, January 17, 2018 - Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

ONTARIO, Canada - Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group held their second annual Common Kindness Day across Ontario on Wednesday, Jan. 10.

As a part of the Common Kindness Day, Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group pre-paid for 1,000 coffees or teas in 10 coffee shops across Ontario. Each shop had 100 coffees to give away, which could turn into more as customers were encouraged to pay-it-forward by buying the coffee for the person behind them, and keeping the ball of kindness rolling.

“Everyone who receives a free beverage is encouraged to find a way to pay that small kindness forward – treat another stranger to their cup of coffee, or find some other way to make

someone’s day a little brighter,” Commonwell stated in a media release. “Whatever people choose to do, we only hope that they do it with kindness.”

Tim Shauf, President and CEO of The Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group, explained that Commonwell hoped to promote more community bonds and neighbourly spirit through this program.

“We created Common Kindness Day because we firmly believe in the kindness of strangers and the importance of creating strong community bonds,” said Shauf. “Last year, the kindness of residents in all of these Ontario towns blew us away and kept the Common Kindness Day spirit of paying it forward going long after our event.”

The Quirky Carrot in Alexandria was the coffee shop in the United Counties of SD&G that participated in the event this year.

EntirE StorE Bringing out the kilts for Optimist Convention Alycia Douglass

alycia.douglass@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Optimist Club of Cornwall has revealed that the theme of this year’s Optimist Convention will be “Tilt your Kilt,” taking place Aug. 17-19 at Ramada Cornwall.

While the Optimists are excited to embrace the area’s Scottish heritage, it’s not the first time members have put on their kilts for the event.

Club president, Ralph Brunton says that the theme was used back in 2000, and was wellreceived by those in attendance.

“Some people still talk about that convention today,” said Brunton. “We figured it was time to bring it back but make a few changes.”

According to Brunton, attendants can expect

the popular strongman games, entertainment by local talent, as well as a kilt-building competition, which will use everyday items to create an off-the-wall kilt. Once assembled, participants will model their creation.

“It just adds another element of fun,” said Brunton. “We’re really looking forward to what people will come up with.”

Chair of Entertainment, Donna Crites says that while the group is still in the early planning stages, they are looking for donations of assorted items that could be used to make a kilt.

“We are looking for local attractions, pins, maps, coupons,” said Crites. “I’m eager to work with such a great bunch, but honestly the finished kilts and fashion show is shaping up to be really exciting.”

Understanding Dementia Provided by Dundas Manor When caring for residents with dementia, we ask many questions: what do they understand? what causes them to become upset? what makes life more enjoyable?

Personal Support Workers (PSW) Jeannie Barkley and Heather Cronin are helping their colleagues find answers to these types of questions – and helping to provide better care for our residents.

Additional provincial funding has allowed Jeannie and Heather to take additional training to learn more about dementia and other behavioural challenges. As champions, they are sharing their expertise with co-workers. “We spend one-on-one time with residents, learning more details about their lives and how the disease is affecting their understanding of their care,” explains Heather. “That information is then shared with the entire care team. The program benefits everyone.”

“This is their home,” adds Jeannie. “We want to help alleviate their stress and meet their needs.”

Dharam Sodhi Sales Manager

Mario Bissonnette Business Manager

It’s all about understanding the disease, being patient and accepting who the person is in the moment. “The person can’t change. We must do the changing and often the simplest things can make a difference,” says Heather.

Jeannie and Heather share examples of residents who exhibit behaviours of agitation, aggression or wandering. By learning more about their history and what causes them stress, plans can be put in place to help. It can be as simple as reducing noise levels in certain rooms or putting safety supports in place for a resident who wants to walk up and down the hallways.

The team also support families, learning about their concerns as well as hopes for their loved ones. “It’s very rewarding to know we can make a difference and make things better for a resident,” notes Jeannie.

“I strongly support this program in longterm care,” sums up Administrator Susan Poirier.

“The additional one-on-one support is so important to enhance the lives of our residents living with dementia and to support their families and our staff.

Fickle’s the word for our winters Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

Last week, when I was asked by a Wal-Mart shelf-restocker who was about to finish a long shift in the windowless bowels of the store, “What’s it like outside?” I replied, “It’s Canada, it’s winter.”

Our winter temperatures go up and down like a boarding house toilet seat. The precipitation can change as often as an actor playing all six roles in a four act stage production.

Living downwind of the Great Lakes watershed forces us to keep a close eye on the weather and the weather forecasts. If you’re planning to hold an outdoor wedding at the farm, or are in charge of a hot air balloon festival, or if you were the one to give the “Go!/No Go!” decision for the D-Day landings on the beaches of Normandy, you’d better have a Plan B, Plan C and Plan D up your sleeve.

If you don’t like the weather we have in the morning, come back this evening. A good example of that, think of last Friday: in the morning, it was +14 C and raining. Less than 24-hours later, it was snowing and -14 C! That’s Calgary’s Chinook phenomenon, but in reverse.

The weather forecasters act as if they used to be car salesmen. When they were in the showroom they used to utter terms such as ‘up

to 40 mpg’. Then, as forecasters, their predictions would say ‘up to 30 C’, but eventually that becomes only 20 C. If they want to instill a bit of shock and awe into their snowfall predictions, they change their snowfall amount prediction from “3 mm” to an almost terror-evoking “30 mm”. It’s the same baloney, just sliced differently.

The term ‘a chance of’ is inserted for CYA purposes. If a ‘whatever’ does occur, they can beat their chests and proclaim, “See, I told you so.” If it doesn’t happen, they can say, “Well, there was only a chance.”

Behind the weatherman, out of sight of the TV camera, is a dartboard, upon which are terms such as breezy, gusty, hurricane, balmy, torrid, frigid, clear, overcast, threatening, pellets, chunks, drizzle, sprinkle, torrential and wowza.

Our neighbour had been away for more than the last week. During that same time period, I wrenched my shoulder trying to get my recalcitrant snow blower to start. In desperation, I traded the balky beast in for a gently used one. Last Thursday I sprained my wrist pounding away at the residual ice on our driveway and sidewalk. That same day, his driveway was choked with an accumulation of snow.

However, the next day, Friday, the +14 C and rain had cleared off his property as if it too had been in Florida. That’s not fair – but that’s our winter.

Snow saves toboggan party CORNWALL, Ontario - After this weekend’s storm some feared there wouldn’t be a tobogganing party however it may have just been what was needed to kickstart the event.

This year, Paul St-Onge of Mocktails teamed up with the Gentle Giants Stable and the Optimist’s club to host their second annual New Year toboggan party at Lamoureux Park.

“We realized that the park needed some life and that it had little use during the winter, so we created a toboggan hill,” said St-Onge.

Last year the event was to be the start of the Canada 150th and had well over 3500 people show up including the mayor.

The event was scheduled for Jan. 1, of 2018 but due to the frigid cold had been forced to reschedule two weeks later.

“We are still doing the tobogganing, the pastries and hot chocolate and free horse drawn sleigh rides sponsored by Canada 150th,” said St-Onge.

On top of all that the washrooms were able to be heated and open for use making the event accessible to all.

Mocktails helped keep the party goers warm by providing a variety of beverages and warm treats like beaver tails and hot chocolate. The Optimist Club brought a dozen toboggans for everyone to share and the city of Cornwall helped to clear the paths and parking lots.

CORNWALL, Ontario - Cornwall police confirm that on Saturday, Jan. 13 they found a 19-year-old man in the construction site across from St. Lawrence College. Police responded to the call at 8:20 a.m. on Saturday, and said that the man had been in the site since Friday night.

Friday, Jan. 12 saw a flash freeze in Cornwall overnight as well as over 20 cm of snowfall. “He was 19-years-old, from Cornwall and was transported by police to the Cornwall Hospital,” said Cst.

Celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 1998 Ice Storm at the Bonnie Glen NORTH GLENGARRY, Ontario - The great ice storm of 1998 is listed as one of the worst natural disasters in Canadian history. It brought the community together and froze it into the memories of all those involved.

Come to the Bonnie Glen Pavilion on Friday, February 9 at 6:00 pm for a chance to share stories, hear tales from farmers, hydro workers, volunteer firefighters, police, volunteers, and some of those many souls who took friends, neighbors and acquaintances into their homes to share a generator, share a wood stove and simply help each other out. For just $40/person, enjoy a

hearty Italian buffet dinner, amazing stories, memorabilia and photos from the time, and a fun silent auction with items you may need if and when the ice returns.

The silent auction is shaping up to be a treasure trove of items ranging from emergency kits and warm woolies to board games, a mint condition 1998 Ice Storm T-shirt, high performance outdoor clothing, and hopefully a generator!

There will even be a hand-crafted table made from one of the many damaged trees of the time.

If anyone would like to share photos, an amazing story, or display memorabilia from the

Birthday fundraiser for MS

By Andrzej Terrence, Special to TC Media CORNWALL, Ontario - What more could anyone wish for on their birthday, family, friends, good food and a great cause.

This year, Caydence Andre turned 11 years old on Jan. 13, 2018 and wanted to celebrate in a special way by raising funds for MS. MS or Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system which causes symptoms like weakness, pain, depression, and fatigue.

With the help of several volunteers, Caydence and her mother Rachelle had a number of activities prepared like a bake sale, Zumba dancing and pizza all located under the community hall in the Trinity Anglican Church.

The purpose, to celebrate a birthday in a way that gives back to the community.

“Some of our friends had ALS and so we did the fundraiser last year. After we finished we found out some of the volunteers had MS, so we decided to raise funds again this year,” explained Caydence Andre.

Last year during her birthday Caydence and

her family raised $1,252.52 for ALS and Caydence already has plans for her 12th birthday.

“I thought, maybe we could do some bowling or something, but she was like no I want another party like this,” said Rachelle Andre, Caydence’s mom and organizer of the event.

Rachelle Andre had pizza and crafts prepared for the bake sale and began raising funds at 2 pm that afternoon.

“This is too fun!” said Caydence.

With a birthday like this it is hard not to be noticed with special guests like Slapshot, Sparky the fire dog, the Seeker Chicks, and Shannon and Erica from the Couch.

“I was excited at home as soon as I woke up I got my mom out of bed! I stayed up until midnight yesterday just to say I was 11 years old,” exclaimed Caydence.

In 4 of the 5 games, we have scored the first goal but have been unable to hold on.”.

The boys will next play Feb. 6 in Char-Lan with hope of making that final push. The playoffs will begin Feb 27 with the top four teams battling it out. Hockey will ultimately conclude with the playing of the Bishop’s Cup after the

season if over. St Joe’s has claimed victory in six straight Bishop’s Cup games over rival Holy Trinity but, the 1-1 tie earlier this season gives the underdog Falcon’s a glimmer of hope to end that this year.

CORNWALL, Ontario- With the SD&G high school hockey season’s under way, teams find themselves fighting for every point trying to get an early lead in the standings.

On the girls side of things the race is very even despite what some team’s record may imply. The Falcons are off to a 2-1 start to the season after opening day wins over Seaway and La Citadelle and a loss to Tagwi on Jan. 9.

The girls team has five games remaining to their season with the next set for Feb. 5 in CharLan to take on the home team as well as North Dundas. They then play rival St. Joe’s on Feb. 8 at the Benson before closing the regular season in Long Sault on Feb. 15 against Tagwi and La Citadelle. Playoffs are set to begin Feb. 28 with the top four teams battling it out for the SD&G gold.

“I always find the hockey season very interesting as the teams are Varsity Team so the players range from grade 9 to grade 12.” said Mindy Gibbs, one of the Holy Trinity coaches.

“The dynamics are different and, as a coach, it is very exciting to see all the girls come together as a team. The league is definitely tight in terms of competition; each school has some high level players....it comes down to which team truly has the best team dynamics and work ethic.”

For the boys team at Holy Trinity, their season has started off not the way they hoped . In five games so far this season, the Falcons are winless sitting at a 0-4-1 with the tie coming against rival St. Joe’s. The team still has five games remaining to their season and will need some points to make the playoffs. Anything is possible in Varsity hockey and they believe that they can bounce back.

“We have a deeper team then previous years with strong players all throughout the line up, where in previous years we have had a smaller team and depended on 1 or 2 players.” said Matt Manson, coach for the boys team.

“We are a good skating team that can be physical. Despite the record, the most consistent part of our game has been our goaltending. What we need to improve on is puck

SPORTING NEWS

Remembering three of the best Claude McIntosh Recent weeks have seen the passing of three who in their heyday were among our best athletes.

Jack Murphy played third base on what was arguably the finest collection of young softball talent this community has seen.

Against all odds, the New York Cafe Aces battled their way to the 1958 Ontario juvenile softball championship.

Those who played with and against Jack call him one of the best third basemen to play softball in the city. And considering the deep pool of talent that played the game in the 1950s and ‘60s, when the sport was at its zenith, that is a strong testament of Jack’s skill.

Not only was he a superb infielder, as a hitter he ranked among the best.

As far as Jim McDonald, the second baseman on the Cafe Aces squad, is concerned Jack ranks as the best third baseman to come out of Cornwall. “He could hit, he could field ... he was a ball player!”

He was inducted into the Cornwall Sports Hall of Fame in 2008.

He was 76.

When it came to all-round athletes, Gerry Hughes was one of the best. He starred in football, baseball and softball.

As quarterback of the Cornwall Emards of the Quebec Rugby Football Union in 1958, Gerry was named the league’s most valuable player. He signed a tryout contract with the Ottawa Roughriders and got a long, hard look from the team’s coaching staff before being assigned to Kitchener-Waterloo Dutchmen of the powerful Ontario Rugby Football Union.

He was a member of Walt McDonald’s Junior Legion club that won the all-Ontario baseball championship in 1954, after reaching the final in 1953. He played 12 seasons in the North End Fastball League and was one of the circuit’s most powerful hitters. In one game he smashed two home runs over the right-field club house.

He was inducted into the Cornwall Sports

Hall of Fame in 1986.

He was 82.

Picking an all-time great lacrosse team from Akwesasne would not be an easy thing to do, because there have been so many great lacrosse players over the years.

But Mike Benedict would be one of my picks.

Mike was the complete package. Not only could he perform at a high level game in and game in but he was a natural-born leader. The kind of guy every locker room needs. He played hard. He played to win. He was the quintessential sportsman on and off the playing floor.

Mike is in the Akwesasne Box Lacrosse Hall of Fame and the Ontario Lacrosse Hall of Fame along with his brother Frank.

He was 67.

SEEN AND HEARD: The Federal Hockey League’s North Shore Knights play out of Kingsville, Ont. .... sometimes. Attendance is so brutal, the Knights elected to play their December three-game home stand against

North Carolina Thunderbirds on the road.... in North Carolina. Doubt if they will be back next season. Might not even finish the season. ...

Cornwall Nationals are doing a good job when it comes to trying to promote the Federal Hockey League club with various promotions but the effort is not filling the seats the way they would like. A statement issued by the marketing department critical of local hockey fans and suggesting Cornwall is not a hockey town doesn’t help. You can’t brow beat fans into show up at the rink. As Yogi Berra said, “If the people don’t want to come out to the ballpark, nobody is going to stop them.”

TICK OF THE SPORTS CLOCK: Hockey and lacrosse legend Edouard Newsy Lalonde, a native of Cornwall who grew up on Pitt Street across from the old fire hall, was made an honourary citizen of Cornwall in 1967. Lalonde is a member of both the Hockey Hall of Fame and the Canadian Lacrosse Association Hall of Fame. He died in 1970 and is buried at St. Columban’s Cemetery.

Sharks optimistic despite 0-3 record at Schooners Invitational

Provided by St. Lawrence College CORNWALL, Ontario - The St. Lawrence Cornwall Sharks finished with an 0-3 record at the Schooners Invitational in Brockville Jan. 11-12, playing the full tournament with just seven players.

The final loss for the Sharks, a 4-1 defeat to the team from Bishop’s University, officially eliminated SLC from any chance of a semi-final game. Jesse Fontaine scored the

lone St. Lawrence goal, and Jacob Latour recorded the assist.

“Considering we only had seven players, we did pretty well,” said Sharks coach Rob Kennedy. “The strike affected our roster, but we’ll be getting players back when the winter semester begins.”

The Sharks started the tournament against the host SLC Brockville Schooners on Thursday afternoon. After a tied first

period, the Sharks took a 3-2 lead going into the final frame. The Schooners took advantage of the Sharks’ tired legs in the third to win 6-4. Hiio Herne (1 G, 1 A) and Samuel Ferland (2 A) led the Sharks in points.

Fontaine and Ryan Cooper each scored one goal, with Latour and Tyler Akins adding assists.

Against the Waterloo Warriors team, it was the Sharks who led after the first period,

Remembering the Royals Provided by the Cornwall Nationals CORNWALL, Ontario - On a night the Nationals honoured the beloved Cornwall Royals at the Civic Complex, the rival Watertown Wolves spoiled the party in front of 1,226 fans.

Watertown skated to a 5-4 victory over the Nationals, who were sporting replica Royals jerseys. The Wolves scored three powerplay goals, including the game winner late in the third period.

Former Cornwall Royals players were honoured in a pre-game ceremony at centre ice. Ian MacInnis, Brent Loney and Tyler Sunday were in attendance, while the late Dave Ezard was represented by daughter Kristen.

Sylvester Bzdyl opened the scoring for the Nationals at 10:18 of the first period but the Wolves leveled the score moments later when Tyler Gjurich buried a cross-crease pass past Sebastien Dube-Rochon at 12:03 of the first.

Maxime Guyon gave the Nationals a 2-1 lead with 58.3 seconds to play in the opening period. Captain Ahmed Mahfouz found Guyon alone in the slot and the Federal Hockey League’s points leader made no mistake,

burying a backhander past Watertown goaltender Cody Karpinski.

With the Nationals on a powerplay, Mahfouz then spotted Brandon Vuic all alone at the side of the net and the hulking forward connected 3:11 into the second to give Cornwall a 3-1 lead.

The Wolves responded with a powerplay goal of their own however, as Gjurich scored his second of the night at 8:06 of the middle frame.

Gjurich then completed the hat trick with another powerplay goal when his shot from the point squeaked past Dube-Rochon with 3:30 left in the second.

The Nationals regained their lead with 43.2 seconds to play in the period when Ian Harris scored his first of the season for Cornwall.

Watertown goaltender Cody Karpinski got a piece of Harris’ wrist shot, before the puck trickled past the goal line.

The pesky Wolves wouldn’t go away however and tied the game at 7:41 of the third with The Nationals now hit the road for six conanother powerplay goal, this one by John to play in regulation for the eventual gamesecutive FHL contests. Cornwall is back on winning goal.

Shots on goal were 43-43. Gjurich (first), Vuic home ice Saturday, Feb. 3 when the Watertown Matyas Kasek, left all alone on the doorstep, then beat a sprawling Dube-Rochon with 5:07 (second) and Kasek were the announced stars. Wolves visit the Civic Complex.

Orton gets rare eight-ender Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - In Don Orton’s decades of playing curling, he has never gotten an eight-ender and the 90-year-old admits, he might never get another one again.

For the non-curlers out there, an eight-ender is when one team gets all eight of the shots in the end while the other team gets none.

Orton was skip for his team during the game and explained that this is no easy feat.

“It takes a lot of good luck for your team and

bad luck for theirs,” he said. “You don’t plan to get an eight ender, but it happens.”

Orton said it was a team effort and explained that he felt humble about the achievement.

“Everyone congratulates you as skip, but the rest of the team has as much to do with it as you do,” he said.” It was a mixed feeling because you don’t like to rub it in, but it is a rare opportunity,” Orton continued. “It’s more rare than a hole-inone in golf.”

Orton took up curling later in life in his late 50s and curls at the Cornwall Curling Club threeto-four times a week.

OPINION

What Cornwall can learn from the Montreal budget Nick Seebruch

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

Montreal’s first elected female Mayor Valérie Plante has taken a lot of heat for her first budget.

The budget saw her break several promises and raise taxes.

She was forced to shelve, or at least put on hold, her promise of adding a new “Pink Line” route to the Montreal metro system. She also broke another promise by raising taxes past the rate of inflation.

Like many North American cities, Montreal is facing the challenge of aging infrastructure.

Montreal is facing a bill of $3.5 billion to repair its aging watermains.

Strong parallels can be drawn between the situation in Montreal and the budget situation here at home in Cornwall.

Cornwall needs $4 million to repair its watermains according to City administration. This past weekend saw another five watermain breaks. When time came to pass the water and sewer budget, council passed a tax rate increase of 6.25 percent, which is of course lower than

the administration’s recommended rate of 7.65 percent.

At the time Mayor O’Shaughnessy said that the City would aggressively lobby for funding from senior levels of government to make up the difference. If this works, great, if not, then it will cost the taxpayers more money down the road as more old mains break and need to be repaired.

At the last meeting of Cornwall City Council, Councillor Mark MacDonald reminded Council of a promise he himself and several other councillors made in the last election. Like Valérie Plante, MacDonald had promised not to raise the residential tax rate. MacDonald urged councillors to remember the pledge that they made and to do what’s best for taxpayers.

On this point, he was rebuffed by Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy who reminded him that not everyone around the council table had made that pledge.

“You did not start off your remarks about doing what’s best to Cornwall, you started with talking about a pledge that you signed,” the Mayor told him.

The Mayor said that regardless of whatever pledge that councillors had made, he hoped that they would decide to do what was best for taxpayers when the time came.

I think that both Mayor Valérie Plante and Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy are correct.

Pledges and promises made at election time often can’t survive the realities of governance.

Taxes pay for vital services and if managed

correctly, we all pay a little for a lot of service in return.

If Councillors are thinking about next year’s election, or a pledge they made during the last campaign and do not address the realities of governance that are now before them, then as in the case of the water and sewer budget, we taxpayers may have to end up paying more further down the road.

OPINION

Is Premier Wynne’s News years resolution to pick a fight with Tim Horton’s for political reasons I would say yes.

Lets start with the $2.40 increase in minimum wage she imposed on businesses in Ontario starting Jan 1 2017 and another one dollar increase the following year which is a 29% increase and expect the owners to keep their businesses operating as normal then add in more paid vacations and sick leave to boot.

These business owners just took a major hit on the cost to operate their business’s so they must find a way to lower their cost so when a few Tim Horton said they must cancel some of the perks to stay competitive and in business

Wynne states they are just greedy owners.

Now a few Tim Horton outlets have raised their prices on their breakfast menu our unionized government workers are out protesting at Tim Horton’s across Ontario in support of Premier Wynne it’s funny how this works Premier Wynne has paid to negotiate the teacher unions cost’s to negotiate there contracts then has given the unions more that they ask for at the bargaining table to keep the union vote so now the unions are coming to her defense to keep the liberals in power. lets see who really will benefit from this wage increase as prices will rise on everything we buy in Ontario and secondly this increase

will put the workers in a higher tax bracket which means the government will bring in more tax revenue due to higher income tax the workers pay and the HST revenue collected by the government will also increase so in my opinion this is just a Liberal tax grab and to distract the people of Ontario of the Liberals disastrous record on governing Ontario.

So lets be fair for a moment it is not just Tim Horton’s who will raise prices or cut hours or layoff staff to stay in business so one has to wonder if this is about raising revenue to payfore Wynnes free election promises and like Trump said he loves the uneducated voters so I think Trump and Wynne have something in

common.

So if Premier Wynne really cared about the people of Ontario why did she not just increase the amount of money the people could earn before paying taxes and stop wasting billions and billions of tax payers money and quit inventing new taxes and fees and quit raising existing taxes and fees and this large increase in minimum wage could of been avoided and they should cancel their failed green energy experiment to put more money back in peoples pockets.

It was 1964 and the Beatle hairstyle, made popular by the British pop group, was the in-thing for teen-agers but local high schools were warning that for students it could be a case of hair today, gone tomorrow if they showed up with one.

The hair-do resembled a mop that was welltrimmed at the sides, along the ears and flopping over the eyes.

Local high school officials said that while the Beatle mop had yet to be worn by any of their students, any student showing up with one could be expelled for violating the school dress code.

St. Lawrence High School principal R. E. Robinson didn’t expect to see the Beatle hairstyle showing up at his school. He complimented his students on their “good sense of reasoning in regards to haircuts.”

Rev. George Griffin, principal of Cornwall Classical College, didn’t pull any punches. He said any student wearing a Beatle haircut would be “kicked out.”

“We must have our students dressed neatly,”he said.

ALSO THIS WEEK IN 1964 - In his annual startof-the-year address, Mayor Nick Kaneb said that in the face of financial challenges, city council needed to keep in mind that there was a limit in the tax burden which could be placed on the shoulders of property taxpayers. “We cannot expand services to the community without providing new sources of revenue,” he said. The biggest financial challenge was the province’s order that the city build a multi-million dollar sewage treatment plant. ... Cornwall native and former Stormont MP Lionel Chevrier was named by the federal government as high commissioner to London. ... Edward Riviere was installed as president of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 297. ...

Saul Schulman was elected chair of the Cornwall Public School Board. ... To help deal with the booming student population, the Cornwall Separate School Board voted to spend $130,000 to expand Sacred Heart School. ... A Toronto newspaper reported that SD and G Crown attorney Percy Milligan would be named chair of the Ontario Police Commission. ... Mrs. Enid MacDonald, deputy reeve of Lochiel Township, became the first woman to sit on United Counties Council. ...

decline in cigarette sales. ... A solid effort by goaltender Jake Lefebvre helped give Cornwall Gordon Refrigeration Royals a 4-4 tie with Ottawa Primroses. Captain Ray Barnes, Ken Duffy, Nick Deschamps and Larry Mallette scored for the Royals. ... Aldermen George Cameron and Jack Pescod were named city representatives to the newly created Raisin Region Conservation Authority. ************** Had a flashback after reading recent column penned by Standard-Freeholder managing editor Hugo Rodriques in which he tarred and feathered the owners of a Tim Hortons franchise in Cobourg for nickel and diming employees over the minimum wage hike.

Trust me Hugo, Ron Joyce Jr. and wife Katherine Horton-Joyce didn’t break new ground.

Back in the early 1990s, when John “Slash and Burn” Farrington ran the Standard-Freeholder (some would say into the ground) for Conrad Black he came up with the mother of nickel and diming.

One of the decades old “perks” S-F employees enjoyed was free home delivery of the newspaper.

Farrington, looking to squeeze another dime out of employees for the very profitable operation, decided that there would be no more freebies.

Instead, employees/survivors would have to pay for home delivery with the cost, at the time around $2.25 a week, deducted from their paycheques, which meant Farrington was padding the bottom line with a $50-a -week “windfall”.

I figured the method in his madness was twofold, 1) A feeble attempt to bump up sagging circulation which had plunged under his two-year reign to around 10,000 from 19,900, and 2)Test the loyalty of employees.

Might have been something to the loyalty litmus test. A competent veteran city editor, in protest, refused to sign up for paid delivery. It might have been a coincidence, but a few weeks later he was terminated what became known as the Friday Massacre. Not long after, a new owner, Osprey Newspapers with the employee friendly president Michael Sifton in charge, terminated Farrington and free home delivery was restored by Milton Ellis who was brought back to clean up the mess.

TRIVIA ANSWER The Clerics of St. Viateur founded College Classique de Cornwall in 1949.

The school had a humble start, opening in a remodelled double tenament on Lawrence Avenue with four teaching brothers and 35 male students. In the late 1950s the school moved to a new campus at Windmill Point. Enrolment grew to 230 students. When financial difficulties forced the

RETAIL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY For an agency store in FINCH LCBO RFP #2018-203 FINCH An excellent business opportunity is now available to established retailers in Finch.

To qualify, the applicant must have an existing, currently operating retail business in the community and commit to operating the Agency store within established LCBO guidelines. To facilitate the sale of beverage alcohol products, the operator may be required to enter into separate commercial arrangements with the LCBO and domestic beer suppliers. The successful applicant will also be required to participate in a special LCBO server-training program to ensure the responsible sale of beverage alcohol products.

Since 1962, the LCBO has authorized more than 200 Agency stores to serve communities that have requested service but where the local population is too small to support a regular LCBO or beer store. These Agency stores are operated by local retailers within their existing retail business. Agency store contracts are normally awarded for a five-year term. In communities where there is currently an Agency store, as the contract nears expiry, the LCBO will take into consideration the fact that new businesses in the community may have been established and will allow an opportunity for all businesses in the community to compete for the next five-year term.

Operating an LCBO Agency Store provides a retailer with an excellent opportunity to increase revenue and attract customers while providing local residents with beverage alcohol services.

Agency stores also deliver economic benefits to the community in many cases through job creation and increased customer traffic for local merchants.

For this competition, the LCBO must receive requests for the application package from interested businesses by mail before end of business day Friday, February 2, 2018.

The application requests must quote the following information:

7446099

RFP #2018-203 Finch Request for Application Package Procurement and Contract Management LCBO 1 Yonge Street, Suite 1404, Toronto, ON M5E 1E5 Please note: An application fee of $100 must be included with your request in order to receive an application package. Make the cheque or money order payable to the LCBO only.

In order to be considered for this business opportunity, applicants must submit to LCBO Procurement and Contract Management a completed proposal in the required format before the closing date and time, Friday, February 16, 2018, 3 p.m. local time. Late submissions will not be accepted and will be returned unopened.

In wake of deadly Oshawa fire, Cornwall Chief emphasizes safety CORNWALL, Ontario - In the wake of a fatal fire in Oshawa, ON on Monday, Jan. 8, 2018, the Cornwall Fire Service wants to remind the public to make sure that they have working smoke alarms on every storey of their home and outside all sleeping areas, and have practiced a home fire escape plan with everyone in their home.

It has not yet been determined if there were working smoke alarms in the fatal fire in Oshawa.

“Fire moves so fast that you may have less than 60 seconds to safely escape a fire, so early warning is crucial to survival,” says Fire Chief Pierre Voisine. “Only working smoke alarms give you that early warning.”

Just as important as having working smoke alarms is making sure everyone in your home knows exactly what to do to escape BEFORE a fire occurs. Practice a home fire escape plan with everyone in your home.

“It is up to you to make sure these types of tragedies do not happen in the City of Cornwall,” continued Chief Voisine.

Simple smoke and carbon monoxide alarm

tips: · Install smoke alarms on every storey and outside all sleeping areas of your home. For added protection, install a smoke alarm in every bedroom according to manufacturer’s recommendations. Larger homes may require additional smoke alarms. · Install carbon monoxide alarms outside all sleeping areas if your home has a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace or attached garage. For added protection, install a carbon monoxide alarm on every storey of your home according to manufacturer’s recommendations. · Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms monthly by pressing the test button. Change the batteries every year. · Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms wear out over time. Replace alarms according to manufacturer’s recommendations.

Simple steps for home fire escape planning include: · Everyone should know two ways out of each room, if possible.

· All exits must be unobstructed and easy to use. · If someone in your home has a disability, develop a home fire escape plan with your household that takes into account their unique needs. Determine who will be responsible for helping young children, older adults and anyone who needs assistance to escape. · Choose a meeting place outside, such as a tree or a lamp post, where everyone can be accounted for. · Call the fire department from outside the home, from a cell phone or a neighbour’s home. · Practice your home fire escape plan. · Once out, stay out. Never re-enter a burning building.
