CORNWALL 2018 ELECTION RESULTS: Clement wins in landslide Nick Seebruch Nick.Seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Bernadette Clement has become the new Mayor of Cornwall. She is the first female of colour to be mayor of a municipality in Ontario.

Clement, who has served as a Councillor in Cornwall for the past 12 years ran on the campaign motto “It’s Time”.

Clement won the ballot with 6,688 votes, roughly 54 per cent of the total vote. She was well ahead of her closest rival, David Murphy who got 3,042 votes and incumbent Leslie O’Shaughnessy who got 2,450 votes.

O’Shaughnessy reflected on his time as Mayor of Cornwall.

“An elected position is only yours for a period of time,” he said.

O’Shaughnessy said that his next plans involve retirement with some volunteering.

“On Dec. 1 the cellphone goes in the garbage,” he said.

Councillor David Murphy recieved almost 25 per cent of the overall vote for Mayor.

“What I enjoyed the most was dealing with people. Talking to people, face-to-face, getting that interaction and finding out their concerns,” said Murphy.

“I would like to thank my family for their unwavering support, my friends and my team.

My campaign team worked very hard…” he

added.

Clement arrived at the Cornwall Civic Complex a little before 10 p.m.

“The first thing I want to do is congratulate all of the (new) councillors and old councillors who were elected tonight,” she said. “Thank you to Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy and the current council and what they’ve done the past four years.”

Clement is the first female Mayor of Cornwall and according to Black Vote Canada, Clement is the first female mayor of colour in Ontario.

Clement’s father is of Caribbean descent and her mother is French Canadian.

“Cornwall elected the first Jewish Mayor years ago, so this isn’t unusual for Cornwall,” she said.

Clement explained that her first order of business will be to meet with those elected to council one-on-one and engage in strategic planning.

Those elected to Cornwall’s 10 Council seats are: Justin Towndale, Elaine MacDonald, Carilyne Hebert, Maurice Dupelle, Claude MacIntosh, Eric Bergeron, Glen Grant, Todd Bennett, Syd Gardiner and Dean Hollingsworth.

Overall voter turnout in 2014 was over 13,000, this election was just under that number.

CORNWALL, Ontario – After three weeks of working on projects involving the upcoming Municipal Election, grade 10 Civics students of Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School held a vote on Friday, Oct. 19.

“This class has been on fire,” said Mellysa Burke, teacher of the Civics class at Holy Trinity. “We have also had councillor and mayor candidates come in to speak to the class, so that really got them to engage and know who the people are in the city who could be representing them.”

Students focused their attention on Cornwall Mayoral and Council candidates. Each student completed an assignment about one candidate and addressed if that candidate’s platform aligned with their own personal political beliefs. Students learned about the implications associated with different

political sentiments.

“We also had a really great debate about youth retention; how we can keep them here in our city, because that’s an issue based on what we have heard from the council candidates,” said Burke.

Burke was inspired to hold a student vote following the vote that took place during the Provincial Election earlier this year. She is thankful for the company CIVIX, which provided her with all the necessary tools and information to help facilitate the student vote. She is proud of their students and their level of engagement.

“I’ve always really loved politics and have been vocal about it, so participating in this is fun,” said Grace Leroux, a student at Holy Trinity. Leroux understands that a lot of voters may not be informed and believes it is important to educate yourself, especially at a young age.

Student voting results will be announced following the Municipal Election on Monday, Oct. 22.

TOBACCO AND YOUR ORAL HEALTH

“Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I’ve done it thousands of times.” – Mark Twain

all types of tobacco – including cigarettes, cigars and chewing (or smokeless) tobacco – are harmful for your oral and overall health. in addition to containing nicotine, which is highly addictive, tobacco can increase your risk of: • oral cancer • periodontal (gum) disease—a leading cause of tooth loss and sensitivity • delayed healing after a tooth extraction or other oral surgery • fewer options for some kinds of dental care (smokers can be poor candidates for particular treatments such as implants) • bad breath • stained teeth and tongue • diminished sense of taste and smell tobacco products damage your gum tissue by affecting the attachment of bone and soft tissue to your teeth. An example of the effect is receding gums. A receding gum line exposes the tooth roots and increases your risk of developing a sensitivity to hot and cold, or tooth decay in these unprotected areas. talk to your dentist about our options. Your smile will thank you for it.

Cross border bridges focus at Bridges to Better Business Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall business community got to learn about the challenges and advantages of cross-border commerce at Bridges to Better Business on Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2018.

The keynote speaker was Rick Tachuk, National Chairman of AmCham Canada, an organization dedicated to cross border commerce.

Tachuk explained how the cross-border business landscape had changed in light of the recently revamped North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) now known as the U.S., Mexico, Canada trade agreement (USMCA).

Tachuk said that one positive that Canada managed to keep in their new agreement with the U.S. were the clauses that pertained to labour mobility, something that the Trump Administration had wanted to remove completely.

“We are living in an era of uncertainty,” said Tachuk. “The U.S.’s policies of America First

means that Canada needs to act now to become more competitive.”

He explained that making efforts to remove red tape for businesses would strengthen Canada’s position, as would reducing their taxes.

“When companies look at new investments to Canada, they may start to look at the U.S. instead,” he said. “Canada need to move quickly to create a positive business environment.”

Tachuk said that both countries are facing challenges when it comes to labour.

“Both countries are facing labour shortages,” he said. “It will be up to local businesses and governments to create better employment opportunities.”

“The reality is that it is up to businesses on both sides of the border to work together for the future,” he concluded.

Bridges to Better Business keynote speaker Rick Tachuk shakes hands with Cornwall & Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lezlie Strasser.(Nick Seebruch/ TC Media).

There was also a cornhole style pumpkin

themed game, witches hat ring toss, a skeleton hunt, people in costume, music, and hot dogs.

The event was first held last year in Long Sault and saw more than 100 local kids participate.

All pumpkins were provided by McMaze.

On-site as well were Greg’s Pumpkins being sold for a dollar by Seven Acres Family Farm.

Seven Acres Family Farm was selling the pumpkins in support of two mental health crisis lines for youth in distress, the Youth Services 24/7 Crisis Line and the Ottawa area Crisis Line.

Speeches were made throughout the evening highlighting the sobering statistics of domestic violence. One in five women experience some form of abuse in an intimate relationship in Canada and 83 per cent of spousal abuse victims are female.

Speakers commended the work of Baldwin House and the support given to local women and children who are transitioning from an abusive circumstance to a secure environment.

“We really do rely on the support of the community,” said Danielle MacNiel, Public Educator and Volunteer Coordinator at Baldwin House. “We are hoping it will be an annual thing…it’s local art and local fashion meeting in the same space.”

Panther’s get fourth consecutive Charity Bowl win CORNWALL, Ontario - For the fourth year in a row, the St. Joseph’s Secondary School Panthers took home a win at the Charity Bowl.

The Panthers faced off against the Holy Trinity Falcons at Joe St. Denis field, with kickoff taking place a little after 6 p.m.

The game got out to a rocky start for the Falcons after their starting

quarterback was taken off the field early in the first quarter with an undisclosed injury.

The game was actually a strong backand-forth with both teams grabbing interceptions in the first quarter, however, the Panthers offense was slowly able to grind down the Falcons.

By the beginning of the third quarter, the Panthers had pulled ahead with two touchdowns, but the Falcons were able to put up six points of their own after a short running play in the Red Zone, how-

ever, they missed the point after kick.

The final score saw the Panthers come out on top of the Falcons 24-6.

Despite the stiff competition and the cold weather on Thursday night, the game was wel attended by energetic and excited fans from both schools.

Wrestling returns to Cornwall Nick Seebruch

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - Seaway Valley Wrestling (SVW) held their inaugural show at the Nav Centre on Saturday, Oct. 20.

The show opened with a Fatal Four Way match that saw Johnny Irvine, Denno Benjamin, Matt Angel and Glengarry’s own Ryan Donovan set the room on fire with high flying, death defying moves.

Donovan came out on top, getting the pin after hitting Angel with a sunset flip powerbomb, but Angel got his revenge after the match, beating down the Glengarry boy after the bell.

Cornwall’s own Rex Orion took on Cecil Nyx. Orion got a leg up from Cornwall Mayoral candidate Dave Murphy who gave Orion some extra leverage while he had Nyx in an Abdominal Stretch. Unfortunately, the ref caught the Mayoral hopeful in the act, ejecting him from the match, to a lot of boos from the crowd.

Orion came out victorious over Nyx after he

caught Nyx in a submission move, the Texas Cloverleaf, which perhaps should be called the Cornwall Cloverleaf from now on because Nyx tapped out immediately.

After the match, Ring Announcer Mark Vincent applauded Orion for his efforts and for Murphy’s support in the match. Vincent told the crowd that he believed that David Murphy would be the next Mayor of Cornwall and encouraged everyone to go out and vote on Monday, Oct. 22.

In the much-anticipated main event, Big Daddy D’Roy defended his Big Time Wrestling title against “The Immaculate” Ray St. Jean.

St. Jean was accompanied to the ring by Randy Berry, former Big Time Wrestling champ who lost his title to Big Daddy D’Roy. Throughout the night, St. Jean and Berry had been taunting the crowd saying that they would be D’Roy. St. Jean was infuriated when he came out and saw that the crowd had been given “Rick” signs, a name that Cornwall has taken to call St.

Jean after he was mistakenly referred to as Rick St. Jean by this paper.

St. Jean was introduced as being from “Anywhere 100km away from Cornwall”.

During the match, Randy Berry made sure his presence was felt, getting involved and attacking D’Roy whenever the ref’s back was turned. Berry and St. Jean’s luck ran out however and Berry was eventually caught by the referee, who promptly ejected him from the match.

D’Roy then quickly turned the tides of the match after hitting St. Jean with a chokeslam to retain his title.

For an inaugural show, SVW was able to boast that they were able to sell out, with 450 fans in attendance. Alain Allaire, Commissioner of SVW said that they are already planning their next show for February 2019.

CORNWALL, Ontario – Halloween is right around the corner and Cornwall Seaway News wanted to find out which costumes are the hottest picks this year.

According to Dave Pettem, Manager of Spirit Halloween in Cornwall, Fortnite costumes are the top buy of the year — for children and adults.

“We’re having a hard time keeping them in stock,” said Pettem.

Fortnite is an online video game that was released in 2017 and has drawn in more than 125 million players since its inception. Some of the Fortnite costumes available at Spirit include Brite Bomber, Cuddle Team Leader and Black Knight.

Popular picks for adults also include anything superhero related, especially for men, who are drawn to the Black Panther and Venom outfits this year. Pettem added that adult couple and group costumes are always popular.

Pettem said that surprisingly Steampunk costumes have made a resurgence.

“The funny thing is, we’re selling this to an older crowd now too,” he said.

Pettem was also surprised by the popularity and quality of the Victorian Vampire section this year.

For children, princess character are popular amongst girls and creepy clowns amongst boys this year, but both are still not as widespread as the Fortnite craze.

Costumes resembling Indigenous Regalia were pulled off of the shelves this year as the store realizes that they are offensive.

CORNWALL, Ontario – Residents of Cornwall and the counties account for approximately 6,000 annual visits and 10 per cent of all procedures at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute.

To support the Institute’s largest expansion in its 42-year history, an $80 million fundraising campaign was launched in 2013 to supplement the over $200 million project. The project is set to be completed in 2020.

Community leaders within Cornwall and SDG are aiming to raise $1.5 million in support of the Institute.

“The Ottawa Heart Institute is a vital hub of our integrated regional cardiac care. Acute life threatening cardiac conditions are treated immediately with world class diagnostic and interventional surgical care,” said Dr. Paul DeYoung in a Heart Institute press release. “As a physician who has managed cardiac care in the Cornwall area and also directed the Critical Care unit, I know that our patients receive promptly the very best care possibly from this international leader in research and

care. The Ottawa Heart Institute is truly ours and deserves our full support.”

During the Leaders At Heart event in September, Dr. Thierry Mesana, President and CEO of the Heart Institute, expressed his pleasure in knowing that people from Cornwall and SDG consider the Heart Institute their own, even though they do not live in Ottawa. In honour of the continued support from the area, the renovated Cardiac Imaging Centre will now be named the Cornwall and SDG Community Nuclear Cardiology Room.

The Heart Institute works closely with Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) and physicians in the area who constantly refer patients to the Institute.

The Institute’s rehabilitation and prevention programs, along with telemedicine services, extend throughout our region.

“Every day we reach out to the Heart Institute to ensure that patients get the care they require.

We enjoy a great partnership,” said Jeanette Despatie, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH).

À tour de rôle, dans chacune des écoles secondaires participantes, les élèves représentant leurs écoles secondaires divertissent leur public avec des improvisations colorées. Les pointages sont ensuite compilés, pour déterminer les deux équipes finalistes qui s’affronteront dans le cadre du tournoi final de la saison, qui aura lieu cette année, à l’École secondaire catholique L’Escale de Rockland, le 16 avril 2019. « Cette activité est unique aux écoles catholiques de langue française de la région et elle fait partie de la tradition d’excellence dans nos écoles. La ligue d’improvisation du CSDCEO permet aux élèves de s’épanouir et d’utiliser la langue française, tout en s’amusant. », explique M. François Turpin, directeur de l’éducation et secrétaire.

opinion

The results are in Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

The election is over. The answer this election showed us is that Cornwall wants familiar faces around its council table.

Of the ten councillors elected only one has never been a councillor before or chaired a committee, Eric Bergeron. Todd Bennett also has become a councillor for the first time. Bennett has chaired important committees in the City in the past and has run in the past three elections. As Todd Lalonde said, Bennett has been in council chambers so often, they had to start paying him.

For the rest of council, the next two freshest faces are Carilyne Hebért, Claude McIntosh and Justin Towndale, both who are returning after being rookies on council this past term. Of the other names, Elaine MacDonald and Maurice Dupelle are returning for their fourth terms on Council.

After a hiatus of four years, both Glen Garry Grant and Syd Gardiner are returning for their fourth terms. Even the tenth councillor, Dean Hollingsworth, has previous council experience.

What will this mean for the future of Cornwall? Will there be seismic change? No. I do think things will be more cordial around the council table and that decisions will be made more efficiently. What am I basing this

idea on? Nothing. Just my own hope.

Our new Mayor Elect of Cornwall is Bernadette Clement. She is the first female mayor of the City of Cornwall and the first black female mayor in the history of the province of Ontario. Clement won in a commanding way Monday night, winning by a wider margin than all of her competitors combined totals.

During her campaign, Clement ran on a platform calling for more unity around the council table and promised to act on this goal immediately by organizing one-on-one meetings with elected councillors. I think that this is a noble goal and a productive one, animosity hurts productivity and this council will be facing serious challenges that they will need to attack with strong vigor.

Probably the most disappointing result of this municipal election was the turnout.

Turnout was actually down from four years ago by around 500 votes. Only 38 percent of the population of Cornwall came out to vote, the rest stayed home.

I have said it over and over again, municipal governments affect the lives of the average citizen far more than provincial, or federal politics, and yet, people come out to vote for their local representatives the least.

I cover City Hall, I do stories on the work that goes on there regularly. Often when I

post a story, especially to social media, I get a lot of feedback, usually not positive.

Whether it be about the budget, feral cats, the strike or Big Ben, it feels like far more than 38 percent have something negative to say about the performance of council on these issues. If you feel like council is doing

such a bad job, then ask yourself why didn’t you vote to change things, or even better, run yourself.

In any case, this council takes over this December. We will see then how things change, or if it is a return to business as usual.

than the Premier does. It is doubtful if he has read one of those reports or that his entire caucus has read ten between them. So we, the taxpayers, will be faced with an immense bill.

But who will be hit the hardest, the farmers whose lands will become waterlogged and bush lands burnt to the ground along with their homes.

On the labour front the low paid workers are being hit in their pockets and, again, guess who will be hit the hardest? It will, of course, be the single mum who will take the brunt of this heartless action. It is she, struggling to put food

into the mouths of her children and clothes on their backs, who must carry the burden of the senseless, cruel actions of this government.

There is a remedy that could effect a change to this particular act of cruelty. Every elected member of the Ontario legislature, including the Premier, should voluntarily accept to live on fourteen dollars an hour whilst the House is in session - and nothing when the House is not sitting. Will that happen? Not likely. Is it any wonder so many citizens have lost faith in our politicians?

John Milnes

LETTERS Dear Editor, In a recent letter to the editor our member of the provincial parliament stated families would get a windfall because his Party had cancelled the Cap & Trade program put into place by the previous government. The leader of his party loudly proclaims he is working for the people.

Really? We should put aside the political rhetoric and look at reality.

Ford and his cronies have reduced the number of representatives who might be available to the citizens of our largest city, Toronto; he has scrapped the Cap & Trade program that Ontario’s

fiscal watchdog tells us will cost the province three billion dollars; he threatens he will fight with our tax dollars - the federal government over climate change programs and, by scrapping the $15 an hour minimum wage brought in by the previous government, he will deny low paid workers their right to a reasonable living wage. Who are the people this Trump lookalike is supposed to be working for?

Reality dictates the United Nations-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, after studying more than 6,000 reports, is more likely to understand what is facing the world

You’ll never be hungry or lonely if…

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

Having canned goods in your survival kit is pointless unless you’ve included a can opener.

If you travel across country or through life and you want to meet people, you also need an opener, a conversation opener. In my travels I rely upon four openers: our van, my canoe, my camera and a dog.

Almost everywhere we park, someone approaches us, using our VW Westfalia camper as a conversation opener. They want to talk

about their experiences with ‘Westies’. “Yup, we had one too, but it was a ‘splitty’. When it died, we got a newer one. How’s this one running?”

There is a cult following for the VW Westfalia camper van. Its genesis was in 1945, as the bare bones ‘Plattenwagen’ (‘flatbed vehicle’), being used for parts delivery within the war-devasted Wolfsburg factory. It evolved in the VW Panelvan, nicknamed ‘the bread loaf’, which was eventually given the formal designation ‘VW Type 2’. On November 1949 it made its formal debut at the Geneva motor show. Finally, in 1958, the vehicle emerged from its commercial workhorse chrysalis as the Westfalia camper van.

My first was a 1973 model; the second was a

used 1980. My second marriage came with my second wife’s 1995 Audi-engined Westfalia.

Then there’s our canoe, adorned with over 200 decals about where it’s been, where I’ve been, and my passion for all things aviation.

Paddlers and pilots comment upon it as conversation openers. “We’ve paddled the Nipigon river too”, or “Havana sure is an interesting place - as long as the American tourists don’t invade it!” An interesting conversation is sure to follow when someone asks, “So what’s your connection with the B-24 Liberator?”

If you have an SLR camera with a longish lens, it attracts wannabe photographers like flies. They usually open with, “If I had a camera like that…” Yes – and Shakespeare must have

had a really wicked pencil.

The ultimate conversation opener has to be the dog. Ever since my Keesha died in 2010, I use other people’s dogs as openers. If it’s a St. Bernard or a bull mastiff, I open with “I had no idea a chihuahua could grow that big.” If it’s a tea cup poodle, my opener is, “Do you use this guy as a sled dog?”. If it’s a mangy-looking old mutt, my conversation with the dog starts with, “My, my! How did you become such a fine-looking fellow!”

Always have a can opener - and a conversation opener at the ready. You’ll never suffer from an empty stomach - or a lack of people to get know – but only if you have an opener.

LETTERS

How we lose history quick stroll down our City’s downtown reveals that, unfortunately, much of the prominent buildings we see in old postcards and photographs have been either torn down or destroyed by fire. Neighbouring towns and cities (Brockville and Kingston, for example) have capitalized on the fact that they do still possess several historically important buildings. They attract thousands of tourists yearly. We should all agree that although locomotive 17 (referred

to as the “rusting train”) might not be in the best of shape, it is in our City’s interest to keep and maintain it. Afterall, the locomotive is one of four to still exist in Canada and was purchased

by Cornwall’s Street Railway Light and Power Company in 1962. Cornwall used this Electric Motor to move freight cars along the city streets.

I’d like to remind you readers that Kingston restored one of its locomotive and put it on display in front of it’s City Hall, much to the delight

nearly every tourist that visits the City.

In my opinion, the judgement expressed by the citizen in question is the exact mentality that has led to the destruction of so much of the City’s cherished past. Sure, we can scrap the locomotive and move on or we can decide to invest in our rich past so that future generations need not to rely on photographs or postcards to learn about it!

Dear editor, I’m writing this letter to the editor to disagree with a comment made in your article entitled “Seaway News Mayoral Debate 2018”. In it, a resident of our fine City explained; “do we really have money to blow? Then perhaps continue with another $100,000 for the rusting train which emphasizes nothing in our history.” My reply for the said resident is this; can we afford to get rid of any more of Cornwall’s history?

Prayers / thank you cards

MUNRO, John Hugh - We would like to thank everyone for your phone calls, cards, visits to our home, all the wonderful food that was dropped off, gifts of flowers, mass cards, donations to the Heart Institute and all your kind words and stories after John Hugh’s passing.

On the night of the accident we were overwhelmed with the amount of family and friends from the community that showed up at our house to offer love and support—that night and in the days that followed.

To OPP Constables Brown and Fitzpatrick, thank you for your kindness and consoling words.

Our thanks to Father Louis Groetelaars for your support and prayers at our home that night and your kind words at the funeral, also to Father Kelvin Maloney and Father Rory MacDonald for your presence. Thanks also to St. Mary’s Choir and Piper Andrew Munro for your gift of music.

To Dave Robertson and all of John Hugh’s brothers in the Fire Department we cannot say thank you enough. He devoted many hours that were spent with you—the send off that you gave him will never be forgotten.

We were overwhelmed with the number of people who came to pay their respects at the visitation and we thank you for waiting patiently.

Thank you to the kind person in our community who showed up with blankets for those who were sitting outside the church on the day of the funeral.

To our good friend Elwyn Massia for the delicious luncheon following the funeral, it was very much appreciated and enjoyed by many.

To Munro and Morris Funeral Home—Alistair and Katherine, you have guided us through these difficult days with such expertise and compassion and have gone above and beyond—your kindness will never be forgotten.

We are so blessed to be surrounded by such amazing people, friends and family.

We are forever grateful for all that was done for us and again from the bottom of our hearts, a sincere thank you. He will be truly missed.

Jill, Brock, Dylan, Shelby & Zach

THE NURSING HOME IS NICE, BUT....

A family recently helped their mother move to a nearby nursing home. A few days after her arrival, while sitting in her new room, she slowly leans over sideways in her chair. Two attentive nurses immediately straighten her up. After a while, she starts to tilt to the other side. The nurses rush back to put her upright. This goes on all morning.

Later, the family arrives for a visit and asks, “Are they treating you alright here?”

She replies, “It’s pretty nice ~ except they won’t let you fart.”

Smile Cookie campaign raised $67K for Rachel’s Kids Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

24 - Wednesday, October 24, 2018 - Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

CORNWALL, Ontario - Rachel’s Kids have announced that the Tim Horton’s Smile Cookie campaign raised nearly $67,000 for them this year.

“We are so proud of our Community and how everyone came together during the 2018 Tim Horton’s Smile Cookie Campaign in support of our Charity,” said Kim Lauzon, Executive Director for Rachel’s Kids. “We are extremely grateful and humbled to have been chosen once again as the recipients to the proceeds

from Smile Cookie.“ Rachel’s Kids exceeded their total from last year. All money raised through this fundraiser will remain in the community.

The money was raised during the week of Sept. 17. Any purchase of a Smile Cookie that week went to support Rachel’s Kids.

“We are amazed on how many people have agreed to help us exceed last year’s goal of $40,618,” said Lauzon. “We had schools take part in selling cookies, local businesses challenge each other in sales and significant pillars in our community take part in creative and unconventional ways to sell Smile Cookies on our behalf.

The response has been incredible and because of each and every one who sold a cookie, bought a cookie, ate a cookie and took selfies, you’ve all played a part in supporting our cause by raising awareness and of course a grand total of $66,949.”

Programs that will be supported by this fundraiser include “Small Moments of Joy” through which Rachel’s Kids grants wishes to children in special circumstances and “Helping Hands” which provides support to families with a child suffering from a severe or chronic illness.
