Big hearts support Big Bike Andrzej Terrence, Special to TC Media CORNWALL, Ontario - The Heart and Stroke Foundation kicked started their Bike Big fundraiser at 8:30 am Saturday, April 21, 2018, to gather donations for research and treatment of heart disease and stroke.

The annual fundraiser left from the Civic Centre and traveled through the city core with loud music, cowbells and plenty of cheer.

You may have seen or heard them this weekend as many cars would honk as they passed by.

As a non-profit organization, the Heart and Stroke Foundation relies solely on donations events like the Bike Big and the Jump Rope for Heart.

The area co-ordinator Michelle O’Shaughnessy gathered teams from around Cornwall to donate and ride in the event.

“We really pride ourselves on how 51 % of our money raised goes to research, 47 % goes into programs, and 3 % goes into administration, which is pretty good for a non-profit organization,” explained Michelle before the first bike left the parking lot.

The rides through Cornwall

took approximately 20 minutes with close to 29 riders on each trip with each rider donating a set amount decided by the team to the cause.

Their goal for this year’s ride which includes similar events being held in the Counties is $81,000.

On Sunday the ride continues from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm with rides leaving every half hour from the Civic Centre, so come out and enjoy the spring weather.

CORNWALL, Ontario - Alaya Riley helped Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy raise the Canadian Cancer Society flag at City Hall on Thursday, April 19.

April is Daffodil Month and the City raised the flag in recognition and support of those who are fighting or have fought cancer.

“From the cities perspective, we know fairly few people in our community who have been impacted, maybe themselves a family member or friend,” said Mayor O’Shaughnessy. “So certainly, the contributions through the Daffodil campaign go a long way hopefully to provide some sort of relief.”

Alaya Riley is a survivor of childhood cancer and said that it is important for those who have had cancer to feel the community’s support.

“Just the whole idea that people who do have cancer they for the most part live normal lives,” she said. “Just to know they’re supported in the community is the biggest thing.”

During the month of April, volunteers from the Canadian Cancer Society have been knocking on doors selling daffodil pins and raising cancer awareness.

On April 25, the Canadian Cancer Society will be holding an evening at Boston Pizza.

Reservations can be made between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. and 10 percent of the proceeds raised will go to support cancer programs and sup-

In comparison to last weekend’s snowstorm, the sunny weather was amazing.

Most people bring their own canoes and kayaks but some rentals were available.

The race is approximately 30 km long with a dame in Martintown that is either portaged or competitors can risk capsizing their canoe.

This year, the race had approximately 164 boats competing with kayaks and canoes.

Many volunteers came through to help the race run as smoothly as it did with firefighters and medical crews standing by.

“We still recommend to everybody to portage but those that really want to shoot the damn and that is what the spectators come to see,” said Lissa.

United Counties launch new tourism website Provided by the United Counties of SD&G THE UNITED COUNTIES of SD&G, Ontario The United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry (SDG) Regional Tourism has a new visitors’ website to help promote events and attractions across the region.

To be competitive it is important to have a solid online presence to maximize market share and attract new business to the region. To date, tourism has been sharing space on the SDG corporate website which focuses on providing residents with information about County services.

Part of these services are related to tourism, like the Tourism Grant and Tourism Information Signage Program designed to assist local businesses and events.

The new WhereOntarioBegan.ca will support the recent SDG Visitors’ Guide launched last month.

This colourful website will be modern and full of captivating local photography. An event calendar will be available, visitor blog, visitor coupons/programs/news and links to area

attractions. This valuable tool will help promote local activities to tourists looking for things to do in SDG while creating a professional first impression of the entire region.

A recent local example of effective online presence: Priest’s Mill Arts Centre in Alexandria, North Glengarry is capturing the attention of guests as far away as Prague, Czech Republic.

Principal artist, Eric Covington credits this new popularity with the recent online experience listing on Airbnb. Over the weekend the studio hosted a tourist studying at the University of British Columbia, originally from Ethiopia, who made a side trip from his intended weekend in Montreal to spend the day at the studio learning how to blow glass. He saw the listing online under Montreal Popular Experiences.

The Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry region is filled with interesting activities and tourist destinations. WhereOntarioBegan.ca’s targeted online presence encourages visitors to stop and experience the initiatives available through our local businesses. SDG Regional Tourism supports local business, like the Priest’s Mill Arts Centre by promoting new initiatives within the area.

La Journée de la Terre célébrée dans les écoles du CSDCEO à Cornwall Communiqué de presse de la CSDCEO CORNWALL, Ontario - Afin de célébrer la Journée de la Terre, les élèves du Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO) de la région de Cornwall ont profité de l’occasion pour participer à diverses activités ayant pour thème « La préservation de l’environnement ». À l’École élémentaire catholique SainteLucie, les élèves ont porté du vert et du bleu et ont apporté un dîner sans déchets.

C’est par le jeu que deux élèves du Club enviro de l’École secondaire catholique La Citadelle, Savannah Chayanne-Lapensée et Émilie Groulx, ont discuté avec les élèves de l’École élémentaire catholique Marie-Tanguay de l’importance de bien trier les déchets qui vont dans les bacs de recyclage. Elles espèrent que les élèves sauront, à leur tour, partager le jeu avec leurs collègues de classe et continuer la discussion avec eux.

Mais les activités écologiques ne se réservent pas à cette seule journée. À l’École élémentaire catholique Notre-Dame, les élèves posent plusieurs gestes écologiques pendant l’année. Notamment, ils ramassent les

emballages en plastique des boîtes-repas.

L’école renvoie ceux-ci à la compagnie qui recycle toutes les boîtes-repas pour leur donner une deuxième vie. Ils sont nettoyés avant d’être extrudés en granules de plastique qui entreront dans la fabrication d’objets d’usage courant. À La Citadelle, le Club enviro participe à plusieurs initiatives écologiques : des concours de piles usagées, le grand nettoyage de la cour d’école et des rues avoisinantes, des activités de sensibilisation face à l’utilisation des bacs de recyclage et la plantation d’arbustes. L’an dernier, les membres du club ont été invités à participer à la conférence Élèves en tant que chercheur où ils ont présenté les résultats d’un sondage mené auprès des élèves qui ont su inspirer leurs projets écologiques à l’école.

Les élèves du CSDCEO de la région de Cornwall ont la Terre à coeur et espèrent que leurs gestes pourront inspirer toute la communauté à entreprendre des initiatives écologiques.

L’année scolaire 2017-2018 marque les 20 ans du Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO), le plus grand réseau d’écoles de langue française dans les cinq

bilinguisme. Le CSDCEO assure l’éducation à plus de 10 000 élèves, répartis dans plusieurs centres de la petite enfance (garderies), 25 écoles élémentaires, 7 écoles secondaires et le Centre d’éducation et de formation de l’Est ontarien (CÉFEO).

comtés de Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, Prescott et Russell. En plus d’avoir le plus haut taux de diplomation de la région (92,6 %), le CSDCEO offre des programmes pour la réussite de tous les élèves, des valeurs catholiques, un français de qualité et un certificat de

Waiting on the waterfront Nick Seebruch

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

The City of Cornwall heard a presentation on Monday night how the Federal government plans to divest itself of all of its waterfront land in Cornwall by the year 2020.

The lands are currently owned by Transport Canada, who will be handing them over to the Canadian Land Corporation, a Canadian Crown Corporation who will decide the best way to sell them. The City will not be offered first right of refusal, but the lands will be subject to municipal by-laws once they come up for sale.

Suddenly a world of possibilities has fallen into Cornwall’s lap and the role of the Waterfront Committee is going to be more important than ever.

Cornwall City Council must listen to the advice presented to them in the coming years from their Waterfront Committee and more importantly from the public.

What comes to mind is the saga from this time last year, when the public discovered that a local developer wanted to build on lands that overlapped with some of the ball diamonds in Legion Park.

This development would have meant that the ball diamonds be moved and there were concerns from the public that the public view of the waterfront would be blocked by condos for the wealthy.

The public came out strongly against the proposed development in Letters to the Editor and there was a large and vocal faction against the development that went to the PAC meeting on the issue.

That prospect was essentially killed when the Feds announced they were not interested in selling that land last year. Now that things changed, that fight might rear its head again.

To avoid unrest like that in the future, the public should be notified about any discussed development early and their feedback should

like, and who it will be for. be heeded.

The opportunity to purchase develop the What do you think should be done with the waterfront lands could be a key to this city’s growth for the next decade, but the community waterfront lands? Email me a Letter to the Editor should have its say what that future will look at nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

letter to the editor Dear Members of the Upper Canada District School Board Community: I have been asked to share with you that our Board’s Chair, Jeff McMillan, has announced he will not be seeking re-election for another term as a public school board trustee. Mr. McMillan will complete his current commitments as a local trustee for Ward 5 (City of Brockville & Augusta Township) and Chair of the Upper Canada District School Board on November 30, 2018.

Chair McMillan’s decision to transition from public office comes after more than 40 years of service to children and schools in the Upper Canada District School Board, beginning as a classroom teacher and educational consultant with the former Leeds & Grenville Board of Education in 1977, then with the Upper Canada District School Board in 1998. His contributions

to the K to 12 education sector has been numerous and noteworthy. Apart from a long-term commitment to student learning and supporting children to see their potential, Mr. McMillan has served as the Canadian College Supervisor affiliated with the School of Education at the State University of New York (SUNY) in Potsdam, with responsibilities for supervising and evaluating teacher-candidates associated with that program. He has also published articles and two books on effective classroom practice. Mr. McMillan brought these experiences forward over the past eight years in his work as a school board trustee for Ward 5, and later, as the 1st Vice-Chair of the Board in 2011.

Trustee McMillan was elected Chair of the Upper Canada District School Board in 2014, leading the Board through some of its most

critical moments, including: re-balancing its annual budget; hiring a new Director of Education / Chief Executive Officer, enhancing the reputation of the Board through open and on-going communication with neighbouring school districts and with the Ministry of Education, and; re-establishing a focus on strategic planning that would ensure that the Board channelled its energies on priorities which they determined to be essential to fulfilling our organization’s mission to prepare our students for a successful life.

It has been my distinct pleasure to work with Chair McMillan during my tenure thus far as the Director of Education for our Board. I would like to thank him for his dedicated commitment to our school district as both a leader and as a community volunteer. I know that we can continue to count on Mr. McMillan to

support ratepayers in Ward 5 until the end of his term of office and to lead the Board of Trustees as they remain focused on commitments for supporting students and our schools for the remainder of its mandate, ending on November 30, 2018. There remains a great deal of work to do in this regard, and all staff will continue to support the Board of Trustees in their efforts to set direction and allocate resources for us to implement their vision of carefully attending to the betterment of students and supporting the important work underway in our schools.

Sincerely, —[Original signed by]— Stephen Sliwa, Director of Education and Secretary to the Board of Trustees.

The Nation Lady Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@cornwallseawaynews.com

Since her body was fished out of the Nation River near Casselman on May 3, 1975, the Ontario Provincial Police have made no head way in solving the crime.

There are dozens of unsolved cases in Ontario but this one is intriguing because all these years later police still don’t know the victim’s name. She has been called the Nation Lady.

How cold is the Nation Lady case? Most current OPP officers were either not born or were in elementary school when the homicide file was opened.

She was white, aged 25-50, 100 pounds and 5-2 to 5-8. She had bleached blonde hair.

She had been strangled by a cord. Her hands and feet were bound with neckties. Her body was wrapped in blankets.

She doesn’t show up in missing persons files.

Now, thanks to 3-D technology, police believe they have a fairly accurate facial depiction of the victim, but several months after the sketch was published her identity remains a mystery.

It is one of several Eastern Ontario cold cases that have stumped police, some in SD and G. The murder of Morrisburg police officer Ronald Pitt shot during an investigation in the early hours of Aug. 24, 1957 is the oldest cold case in this area. Police didn’t at the time, and still today, even have a person of interest. A month earlier, just 20 miles away, 22-year-old

Chesterville-area farm wife Lois McLaughlin was “brutally beaten and mangled.”

Many, at the time and still today, believe the crimes were committed by the same people. In the Pitt investigation, police know two suspects were involved.

Years later, the body of Cornwall woman, last seen leaving the Cornwallis Hotel, was found near Harrison’s Corners. The case remains unsolved. Police believed she was dumped at the secluded site from a car.

The cold case file got thicker when a Morewood area man, Randy Rankin, was shot and killed in his home.

HERE AND THERE In last week’s piece on the Humboldt Broncos hockey club which won the 2008 RBC Cup in Cornwall, we left out the name of the junior host Patrick Atchison who was involved with the club behind the bench and in the dressing room. Just before the team left for home, he penned a letter thanking the team for making him part of the event. ... With the kind of early spring we just went through, we now know why global warming was changed to climate change. ... One of the great lines by a prosecutor who was dealing with a difficult witness was, “I`m not going to hold this against you, but tell me, just how long did it take you to come up with a story like this?” ... A Toronto Sun poll asked “Do you think that our justice system is working efficiently?” The verdict - 85.93% gave a thumbs down.

HERE AND THERE (Part two) Cornwall Sports Hall of Famer (2006) Gerry Devaney, a Halifax native who backstopped the senior B Cornwall Colts (1954-57) before moving up to the senior A level with the Chevies (1960-61) passed

away earlier this month. Devaney finished his hockey career with the Jersey Larks of the Eastern Hockey League. After he retired, he became part of the Cornwall Oldtimers organization. He was 83. His wife, Barbara, is a Cornwall native. ...

Premier Kathleen Wynne came to town a few weeks back and the meet-and-greet attracted about 100 people. Meanwhile a standing room crowd packed the Ramada Hotel banquet hall for Doug Ford’s visit. ... Official word from CTV Ottawa is that popular weatherman J. J. Clarke has taken a personal leave of absence. ...One opinion research outfit claims that if the provincial election were held today the Conservatives would be back in power with 94 seats. The NDP would be the official Opposition with 23 seats while the Libs would be reduced to seven seats.

Note of caution: Preem Kathy is a savvy politician.

Don`t count her out.

THIS WEEK IN 1937 For stealing $2 from the Imperial Service Station cash register a 22-yearold Cornwall man was sentenced to 15 months in reformatory by Magistrate P.C. Bergeron. Court was told the man grabbed the money from the Second Street West gas station while the attendant was pumping gas. ... A man who struck his 82-year-old mother with a rocking chair and hit his brother when tried to call police was given four months in jail. “I should have given you a year,” said Magistrate Bergeron after passing sentence. .... The 675 employees of Howard Smith Paper Mill were given pay increases that averaged 5 cents an hour. ... St. Felix de Valois Church on Montreal Road held its first mass. The new parish served 365 families from Montreal Road to North Branch Road and from Gray’s Creek to Guy Street. ... United Counties Jail governor Ralph

Cook presented his annual report showing that over the previous 12 months he and his two turnkeys (guards) James Cowhey and Bernard Maloney cared for 317 prisoners. It cost 13 cents a day to feed the prisoners who numbered from 34 to 12. Of the 317 prisoners, 92 were married. ...

The Ford Motor Co. announced Sanford G. Wells as the new dealer in Aultsville. ... The StandardFreeholder announced that on May 1 it would publish three times a week - Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

TRIVIA ANSWER When Cornwall Bottling ceased bottling Coca-Cola products at its Amelia Street plant in 1964, the lone local soft drink bottler was Parisien Beverages which had a plant in the west-end of the city. At one time, it bottled Pepsi-Cola and other soft drinks in a plant at Eighth and Pitt streets.

TRIVIA Named captain of the Cornwall Royals in his rookie season, he wore the “C” for three seasons, the only player in the team’s major junior era to do so: 1) Bobby Crawford, 2) Doug Gilmour, 3) Dale Hawerchuk, 4) Bob Murray, 5) Rick Paterson.

RECALL BUTTON Earle Macpherson, in a Facebook post, recalls the small tubs of ice cream that came with a wooden spoon. ... When high schools had mandatory army cadet training and rifle ranges. ... The Savemart store on Vincent Massey Drive and IGA Gold Bond Stamps. ...

Towels that came in a large box of soap. This was stopped when somebody figured out that the displacement (a form of the Archimedes principle) meant consumers were getting less soap. ...

When high school principals went to the annual job fair in Toronto each summer hoping to find enough teachers to fill vacancies.

Detours, dead ends and alternate routes NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

agent asked, “Will your wife be travelling with you, sir?” I was all of seventeen at the time, but already passing as a mature man of the world, with the deep voice that went with it.

I was 19 years of age, with only 45 days of teacher training when I landed my first full-time steady job with a class of 40 grade six and seven boys. My first day on the job they stared at me, and I stared back at them. It was a roller coaster learning curve ride for all of us, and certainly a career defining development for me.

Getting my first car in 1961, a VW Beetle, not only became a possibility, it became a necessity. I no longer had to beg Dad for the Oldsmobile.

Another big move: leaving home. Life brought many more changes. A series of steady girlfriends

eventually led to marriage, then three children.

Through teaching and parenthood I soon learned that not only did I not know all the answers, I didn’t even know the questions.

One of the most exciting milestones in life is moving into one’s first home. That was particularly true for us: I’d designed our dream home and cleared the land. Luckily an architect friend corrected some of my mistakes.

Children came along, each unique. One by one, all three went off to school. One by one, through a variety of circumstances and events, they never came home again. A childless house is another waypoint, but the trip is not over yet.

the table and a roof over one’s head. An appealing detour in the road may present itself, It may come in the course of some recreational pursuit, or a chance meeting during travels: a hidden talent emerges, a winning lottery ticket; a passion becomes a lucrative endeavour…. Bingo!

I remember my first camera, a fixed-focus, fixed-aperture Kodak Duaflex IV with a reflex viewfinder; then a used 35 mm camera and eventually an SLR. My discovery of Kodachrome slide film was exciting. My passion for photography resulted in job advances and an eventual career change. I hope you too had a similar lucky development in your work life.

I once called American Airlines to book a flight from Tucson Arizona to LA. A sweet-voiced ticket

YOU can be a HERO

United Way Centraide SD&G supported programs are changing lives and helping to create strong people and a healthy community. We generate significant impact in our community by investing in programs offering support, guidance and education creating lasting, positive change in the lives of others.

Canadian Mental Health Association is changing lives through the Talking About Mental Illness program. The “Talking About Mental Illness Program” outlines the importance of addressing mental health problems and prevention strategies. The T.A.M.I program integrates mental health promotion, prevention,

and the importance of early intervention including community services for youth. The comprehensive 3 - 5 session package introduces students to various topics such as Mental Health & Wellness, Types of Disorders, Self-Esteem, suicideTALK, Stress Management and Speaker Testimonials.

After attended the TAMI program, a participating student was at home and noticed one of her family members was in distress and was displaying thoughts of suicide. Because of what she learned at the TAMI program, she recognized the signs and knew who to reach out to for help. This story has a happy ending because of the TAMI program.

Sexual Assault & Support Services is changing lives through the Mobile Outreach Program. This program provides counselling to women who are otherwise unable to access sexual assault services due to financial issues, travel constraints or personal barriers. SASS

counsellors go directly to these women who have suffered sexual violence and offer the assistance and support needed. The Mobile Outreach Program removes a barrier ensuring that these women receive the crucial support needed.

A Mobile Outreach Program counsellor removed that barrier and provided much needed assistance to a woman in need. This counselling is helping her and having a tremendous impact in her life. She would not have been able to receive this crucial assistance without the mobile outreach program.

Your donations to United Way Centraide SD&G stay 100% local to be invested into our community and have an IMPACT by changing lives for youth, students, women and everyone who needs a champion.

I remember the first time we met It seemed our love and hearts were meant for each other We made our vows together ‘til death do we part We built a strong foundation Of love and our family together When you left us our world fell apart.

You’re deeply missed and always In our hearts forever.

FOUND on Sunday a SET OF KEYS, on First St. East (between Adolphus and Amelia). You can pick up at the Lottery Kiosk at the Cornwall Square.

I recently heard a presentation from Doug Griffiths. The former Alberta MLA wrote a book called “13 ways to kill your community” which outlines ways small towns are destroyed from within. One example is how many small towns follow the same economic development plan, pursue the same industries and lose their uniqueness. One example he gives of this is the slogan: “Live, Work Grow,” and its many variations, like “A good place to grow”. Apparently dozens of communities across this country use those kinds of slogans. Have you heard of any small towns with a slogan like that?

Big changes are coming to the Upper Canada District School Board this year. Like municipalities across Ontario, the UCDSB is holding elections for its trustees and chair in October. So far both the UCDSB Chair Jeff McMillan and local trustee Wendy MacPherson have announced that they will not be seeking re-election. This board had a tumultuous term because of the Pupil Accommodation Review process that saw several schools in the board close. Whether they would be re-elected or not, I understand why some board members would not be eager to run again.

THANK YOU CORNWALL! The Cornwall Evonne Delegarde is seeking re-election as Parkinson Support Group would life to say a Mayor of the Township of South Dundas. very sincere thank you to the people of Cornwall for their support of our Hope in Bloom fundraising event. Our tulips just flew off the tables. We were sold out within an hour and a half of setting up our table. Thanks also to The Fermented Grape and Freshco for enabling us to hold this fundraising event, and assisting us in raising awareness of Parkinsons Disease. And last but Rolland Paquette won a recent Euchre tour- not least, thanks to the Seaway News for their nament for charity at the Alexandria Legion. He support of our efforts. Sincerely, the Cornwall donated his winnings to Youth Unlimited Parkinson Support Group.

Two brothers, William Thompson, 10, and Zachary Thompson, 7, who are students at Marie-Tanguay, decided to give back by cleaning up their neighbourhood (around Lynn Street & Hamilton Cres) for Earth Day. The two boys picked up two full bags of garbage and recycling.

Walking up to a department store’s fabric counter, the pretty girl said, “I would like to buy this material for my new dress. How much does it cost?”

“Only one kiss per yard,” replied the male clerk with a smirk on his face.

“That’s fine,” said the girl. “I’ll take ten yards.”

With expectation and anticipation written all over his face, the clerk quickly measured out the cloth, wrapped it up, then teasingly held it out.

The girl snapped up the package, pointed to the old man behind her, and smiled, “Grandpa’s gonna pay the bill.”

A World of Choices: The Eastern Ontario Training Board (EOTB) has partnered with the Junior Achievement Organization of Peterborough to put together a career mentoring event for students in Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, and Prescott-Russell. This event, “World of Choices”, will be held at St. Lawrence College in Cornwall, the morning of Thursday May 3rd, 2018; official start time: 10am.

Approximately one hundred youth from St. Joseph’s Catholic Secondary School have been invited to better understand career development, explained by local career mentors in a round table career forum. The goal of this event is to expose students to a variety of career possibilities in the SDGPR area and inspire them to stay in school until they have acquired the knowledge, attitudes, and skills to follow their chosen career path. They will learn what it looks like to have a career in their field of interest as well as what it takes to achieve it.

Suffering a Stroke John Milnes Consider This

Most survivors of a stroke are dazed by the terrible event, having no idea why we were selected to suffer such mental and physical torture. Obviously, we did not desire to be smitten by the stroke but will suffer because of the damage we must now endure. We, as survivors, must pay for we, invariably, lose our means of driving - to the store for groceries or to attend for medical appointments or to visit friends and relatives - we are often shunned by society, we must put immense stress on our caregivers.

To be sure, as a stroke survivor, I can attest to the fact the examples given above are only a few of a vast number of hurdles that confront a survivor. Stroke survivors will require help for the rest of their lives because we now have a damaged nervous system, we are all brain damaged. Unfortunately, our medical scientists have yet to determine how a repair to such damage might be effected.

Just what is a stroke? Simply put it is when the blood flow to the brain is interrupted. This interruption happens when a blockage (a clot) in an artery causes it to become plugged, thus preventing the blood from reaching the brain.

The brain needs a constant flow of blood since it carries the source of oxygen that keeps the brain alive. Such an event is described as an

Ischemic Stroke, the most common stroke.

Another event, described as a Hemorrhagic Stroke, occurs when a blood vessel in the brain itself bursts, directly causing massive damage to the brain. Some people may even suffer a TIA [Transient Ischemic Attack], often referred to as a mini-stroke and considered by physicians to be a warning that more serious problems may be on the horizon. We often think of ‘warnings’ as something not too serious but a TIA must be considered as being most important.

So, what damage occurs from an interruption in the flow of blood to the brain? Any change in the flow of blood to the brain causes a staggering amount of damage to cells [neurons] in the brain. In the first minute after a stroke there can be a loss of 1.9 million brain cells, causing brain damage from which many survivors, without constant, lifelong medical and rehabilitation services, will not recover a reasonable quality of life.

A VICTIM OF EITHER AN ISCHEMIC STROKE OR A HEMORRHAGIC STROKE MAY EVEN DIE. We need to dig a little deeper if we are to understand what is happening when a stroke occurs so let us look at how we believe the body and the brain work. The brain is something we all know we have but may not completely understand. The brain is impacted by what happens to our bodies in the environment. From the environment come the decisions related to our experiences. These become the memories, the attitudes and even our habits.

In a more technical description these have

been translated into neural pathways among the brain cells and these pathways are then fixed electrically or chemically. Naturally, the body changes, fitting in with the things it experiences, the changes continuing even when the experiences the body has gone through may have ended.

Another way in which we might describe the human brain, possibly in an easier way to understand, could be to describe it as the control centre of the body with parts added on,the arms and the legs, the mouth and the ears, the nose and the eyes. These added parts carry out the instructions of the brain [the main centre]; they become the output of the brain. Naturally, we assess how well the brain is working by the way in which the added parts function. Can we speak and can we see, can we do the things we did before the stroke?

Maybe it will help to have a basic explanation of how the blood actually flows in the body.

During exercise, the blood supply to the muscles will increase considerably, far more than if we are sitting reading or watching television.

This is because blood flow to the body varies according to what the body needs. Therefore, some form of activity is vital for the body and the brain.

Blood flowing through the brain, the control centre, is totally different. In the brain the movement of blood maintains a steady, constant flow no matter what the body or the mind does - the brain receives the same amount of blood every minute, every hour of every day - it never varies.

It is worth repeating, some form of activity is vital for the body and the brain.

Perhaps an analogy I recently read, may be helpful. Everyone knows a match might be used to light a fire but putting out the match does not put out the fire. Now we must watch over the fire not the match. The stroke is the match, our minds and our bodies are the flames of the fire!

It is through such knowledge the medical profession measures the cognitive abilities of how people perform in many of their societal roles.

Are we able do the everyday things, are we able to drive a motor vehicle safely?

It matters not if you are a male, a female, aged or a child, perhaps even a member of any given racial group, you could be next to suffer a stroke. Sadly, we are a long way from knowing what causes a stroke, never mind having a remedy. We must be patient for progress in understanding everything about a stroke is gaining momentum.

With respect to stroke data, we can only accept government figures. Our Ontario Government has reported that, in the Province, a stroke occurs every ten minutes. That means, as you are reading this, you could be one of those destined to have a stroke. There are no required qualifications leading to someone having a stroke. Everyone is eligible. It is for this reason society, the people, must take the matter of stroke awareness very seriously.
