Giving Tree collects presents for Baldwin House families Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Three families will be getting some community love this Christmas.

For the sixth year in a row, the Friends with Hearts have held their Giving Tree campaign at Schnitzels.

The Giving Tree was setup in Schnitzels during the last week of November and since then, guests to the restaurant have been encouraged to take a tag off the tree. Each tag describes a potential gift recipient and what they would like for Christmas.

Each recipient is a member of one of three families that were selected by Maison Baldwin House based on their need.

“These families are rebuilding from nothing,” said Justine Viray-Levac of Friends with Hearts.

This year, roughly 500 gifts were donated.

Over the past six years, this fundraiser has collected nearly 2,000 gifts.

In addition to the gifts, each family will also be getting a mini gift card tree. The tree is decorated with gift cards for the essentials like Food Basics, Walmart and the Dollar Store.

On Tuesday, Dec. 19, the group held a small wrapping party at Schnitzels to get all of the gifts wrapped for the holidays.

“This community always goes above and beyond,” said Levac. “If one of the gifts we are looking for is an umbrella, then someone donates the best umbrella ever. Local realtors, business owners and even customers come in and help out. We’re not as big as other groups in town, but we still see a lot of support. We’re small but mighty.”

CORNWALL, Ontario – The first annual Sap & Suds event is fast approaching. This event in support of Rachel’s Kids celebrates two popular Canadian staples, maple syrup and beer.

Taking place Jan. 11 and 12 at the Cornwall Civic Complex, Sap & Suds will feature 15 to 20 vendors including larger breweries like Labatt and Molson.

Trevor MacDonald and Cory Dixon have been selected as chair and co-chair respectively for the event.

“Trevor is one of our 100 Souls members who believes in what we do in the community,”

said Kim Lauzon, Executive Director of Rachel’s Kids.

MacDonald runs a local distribution company in Cornwall and says that giving back to the community is something that he and his company believe in.

“Rachel’s Kids is such a good cause,” he said.

“Giving back to the community is a big part of our community and a personal goal of mine.”

MacDonald and Dixon will be working in the community to help promote the event.

“If you’re not a beer drinker don’t let that discourage you,” said MacDonald. “There is going to be a lot of food and spirits there that you might not get the chance to try anywhere else.”

The Empty Place Setting Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

Christmas is a time of traditions, both old and new. In the passage of years and generations, the significance and practice of some disappear. The young do not cherish the traditions of previous generations. They may create new practices, ones that will become their own traditions.

It is the same with the festive dinner gathering: the number of those who are no longer with us is greater than those who are now with us.

In some cultures, such as Polish and Ukrainian, there is a tradition associated with gatherings around the dinner table that I find appropriate and moving. At one place setting no one sits; the chair is empty. In recognition of that absence, an invocation such as this may be offered: “This evening we gather to celebrate, to share this food, to remember those who are unable to be with us. Due to stormy weather, financial challenges or the extreme distance that separate us, some cannot be here. There are also those whom death has taken from us…”

It is here that it would be appropriate to recite a litany of their names. In my case, this empty place is for my parents who lovingly nurtured

and guided me through infancy and childhood; for our daughter Kara and son Kyle and my brother Morris who were taken from us by tragic accidents; for dear friend John, taken away by Parkinson’s disease; for Aunt Emily who blessed us with 109 years of her presence; for all those pilots who gave me wings, who have now had their earthly wings replaced by heavenly ones.

Others gathered around the table are invited to reflect upon those who are similarly in their thoughts. They too may wish to name them.

It is not only at Christmas, Thanksgiving or Hanukkah that the empty place may be honoured. There is a pre-Christian era ritual in which the table is left as is for a few hours after dinner

so that the dead could take their turn at the banquet. That empty place reminds us that any unexpected guest, any one in need, should never be turned away.

There should always be a place for them.

The military also have their tradition that honours those no longer present. It is called ‘The Missing Man Table’ or ‘The Fallen Comrade Table’.

It may be seen at any sort of ceremonial remembrance gathering.

This is the 25th Christmas column I have written since my first in 1994. Prompted by the research I’ve done in preparing “The Empty Place Setting”, I have decided to renew a practice that is part of my neglected heritage.

MP­—Stormont, Dundas & South Glengarry

Mayor—Cornwall I am grateful to have this opportunity at Christmas time, to share some thoughts with my fellow citizens of Cornwall and with our friends and neighbours throughout SD&G and Akwesasne. Try as we might, none of us can predict the future. We can hope that it allows for all of us to fully participate in our wonderful community, but we will need more than hope, so that together we can shape the best future for our region.

We need to listen more to one another. Let’s actively seek out ideas and encourage everyone who wants to contribute positively to our community. Reaching out, listening, planning and participating are essential ingredients in building a successful and happy place to live. We need to nurture a confidence in ourselves and a strong belief in our ability to achieve remarkable things together. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Joyeux Noël à tous et à toutes!

Bernadette Clement

Greetings friends, As we close the chapter on 2018 and eagerly look forward to 2019, it gives me great joy to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I have been able to connect with many of your personally over the past year either at my summer BBQ or our Christmas Open House, perhaps while stopping in the office or simply by phone or email. It continues to be a great honour to represent you in the House of Commons.

The past few years have been difficult for the Canadian economy and many families have felt the added pressure as the grip on their wallets tightened and they are being forced to make their dollar go further.

Now with the Liberal Government’s plan to slap on a carbon tax starting in 2019, which will raise the price of everything from home heating and fuel prices, to household goods and groceries, this strain will be felt even further.

However there is light on the horizon. Next year Canadians will have the opportunity to elect a new Government to reset Canada on the right path for a brighter future.

Andrew Scheer and the Conservative Party will offer Canadians a choice for a more Prosperous Canada, for a Safer Canada.

We will focus on restoring fiscal accountability to Canada, massive deficits and debt that we’ve seen balloon under the Liberals need to stop. We will ensure we put the best interest of Canadian’s first when negotiating global trade deals, not bowing to external pressure and sacrificing entire Canadian sectors such as agriculture or manufacturing.

We will fix the mess that Justin Trudeau made of our immigration system, making sure the most vulnerable people and true refugees are giving priority of those who are illegally entering Canada.

I believe that our Government can do better; better for all of us. I look forward to the coming year and hope I have the chance to speak with many of you in the coming months. I wish you, and your families and merry, and peaceful Christmas Season.

Mayor—North Stormont

Mayor—South Stormont

As another year comes quickly to an end it is time to extend best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the residents of North Stormont and all our surrounding municipalities.

This is a magical time of the year as communities are alive with concerts, dinners and good will. News papers and social media are full of opportunities to see the spirit this season is so famous for.

One of our staff in North Stormont, “Amy Martin” recently sent me this little clip.

Residents only get one change every 4 years to pick the Council they want to define their community, but when those same residents volunteer they vote for the type of community they want to live in every day.

My hat is off to the countless volunteers who make this season come alive; your commitment truly does help define the communities we live in.

All the best in 2019

While 2018 may be winding down, the new term of Council is just getting underway. I’d like to begin by thanking the residents of South Stormont for their support and confidence in this Council to help make our community all that it can be.

We have a lot to be excited about in 2019 in South Stormont, but with that excitement comes a lot of hard work. I believe that we are up for the challenge. We will work toward finding solutions to the low water levels that Lake St. Lawrence experienced in our area; work to attract new business to South Stormont and help our current business community through programs such as the Community Improvement Plan; and work towards improved public engagement and communications with our residents. We have a lot to be proud of in our Township, and Council and Staff look forward to working together to add to the list in 2019.

On behalf of my colleagues on the newly-elected Council of the Township of South Stormont, I would like to wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas, and nothing but the best in the new year to come.

The Council and Staff of North Stormont

Mayor Bryan McGillis

Mayor—North Dundas My Christmas message to the citizens of North Dundas as well as everyone that lives and works in SDG is that 2018 has been an exciting as well as a challenging year for most of us. The struggles that many of us face with perseverance and courage demonstrates that our spirit and strength of character is strong.

The successes that many have achieved is an example of what hard work and determined effort can bring about. The volunteers that are so vitally important to making sure that our communities truly reflect what communities should be, welcoming and supportive, deserve all the thanks and praise given to them and more. I know that my family and I have been truly blessed to be able to live and work in a country that allows us to lead a peaceful, safe and happy life. My Christmas wish is that hope and joy is experienced by all this special season and for everyone’s great success in 2019.

Mayor—South Dundas Christmas is special time of year where we celebrate being with family and friends. It is also a time when we help those who are less fortunate and give them support. On behalf of the Council and staff of the Municipality of South Dundas, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a most joyous New Year in 2019.

Steven Byvelds, Mayor Municipality of South Dundas

Mayor­—North Glengarry

Mayor—South Glengarry

The festive season is upon us. It is a time for family and friends to reconnect. With the new year approaching it is also a time to reflect on the past year and the year ahead. As the new Mayor in North Glengarry and the Warden for SD &G I am excited for what lies ahead. With new councils come new ideas and fresh perspectives. In both North Glengarry and The Counties we must continue the hard work of the previous four years and build upon it. i Look forward to turning on the taps for water in Maxville in 2019 and preparing for growth. We will lobby for natural gas expansion to our rural areas and continue to fight for our rural schools. In North Glengarry our council will work to ensure our residents are well informed, community engagement is so very important.Take the time to follow both the Counties and the Township on social media platforms to stay up to date. On behalf of the councils of North Glengarry and The Counties I would like to wish every resident a Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year.

As 2018 draws to a close, it is time to reflect on some of those initiatives that occurred in the past year that continue to reinforce why the Township of South Glengarry is such a wonderful place to live. Let’s start with new playground equipment and a revitalized main street in Martintown, the construction of a new outdoor skating rink, new on-street Christmas lights, a beautiful banner program and the magnificent LAVIII Monument in Lancaster, a new bridge on 3rd Line Road, two new Pumper Trucks for our Fire Services, continued improvements and renovations at the CharLan Arena and Tartan Hall in Williamstown, the implementation of the highly successful Community Improvement Plan and the resurfacing of several Township roads … Street, Loyalist and Nine Mile. And all of this achieved with a 2.7% tax rate reduction for our residents.

On behalf of Council and staff at the Township of South Glengarry, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

We look forward to also celebrating a wonderful and prosperous 2019 with our residents and neighbours.

Sincerely, Mayor Frank Prevost

OPINION

The year that was 2018 Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

Christmas is behind us now and we are staring down the end of 2018. Let’s take a moment and look back, take stock and learn from the past year.

Municipal strike Cornwall employees were on strike for three weeks this summer. This is a situation that should have never happened in the first place.

To start, the striking unions had been working without a contract for two or three years, then, behind closed doors, Cornwall City Council decided that they would offer no pay increase on a one-year contract.

So, not only did the City let their contracts lapse for a long period of time, Council also decided to respond to the situation by offering nothing. What a slap in the face. It is a wonder that the strike only lasted three weeks.

Marijuana The legalization of marijuana has affected municipal policing, by-laws, regulations and workplace practices. By and large the adjustment to the legalization of this drug has been smooth, but that didn’t stop it becoming an

election issue, and things are still being felt out.

Just this month, the Ford Government changed its mind on the number of private vendors it will allow in the province. Even so, in this uncertain landscape, municipalities are expected to decide whether or not to opt-in and allow private vendors in their jurisdiction.

Even with the changing rules, I think opting in is a no-brainer. Even if the Ford Government said that they were only allowing one private vendor in the province, does any municipality want to be the ones to say they don’t want it?

Municipal election The municipal election this year was quite the ride.

Not only did Bernadette Clement win the mayoral race in a landslide, an outcome that even she did not predict, but also, she has become the first black female mayor in the province of Ontario.

As for the rest of Council. We saw a lot of returning faces, with the only freshmen councillors being Todd Bennett and Eric Bergeron.

The most disappointing outcome of the municipal election in Cornwall was the voter

turnout, which was only 38 percent. I was really surprised at that low number given all of the comments I see on different municipal stories on social media. If you don’t like the council, then get out and vote. Some said that there were no good candidates, but I can’t believe that out of 35 people running for

Council and Mayor that some eligible voters couldn’t even find one that they liked.

This was what the year looked like to me on my side of the camera. What did you think of 2018? What were the big issues to you? Email me a Letter to the Editor at nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

Fostering the learning and use of Canada`s two official languages has been an objective of the Government of Canada for over forty years indeed.

French-speaking Ontarians have asked for a French-language university, governed by and for francophones for decades.

In fact, to remain competitive in the global marketplace, Ontario needs to match what its competitors are doing and follow suit.

letter to the editor Dear Editor, The Conservative Ontario government led

by Doug Ford flip-flop plans to open the province’s first Francophone university.

The newly elected Government was to establish a French-language university in Central-Southwestern Ontario that would be operating its main campus from the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). An entity that would provide a French milieu, where students can learn in their own language, at their own institution,

in their own province.

Ontario’s Progressive Conservative government is cancelling funding for three university campuses in the Toronto area despite having made a promise during the election campaign.

This decision has an impact on participation in French-language postsecondary education to retain their language and depriving the province of the National and International markets.

Findings show that Canadians, Americans and Europeans from all walks of life benefit from

During a time of year when gift-giving is such a big part of the season, it is difficult to imagine that a short, hand-scribbled letter mailed two months earlier from some where in Germany could be a family’s most treasured Christmas gift.

But for an Alexandria mother and father the letter that arrived on Dec. 23, 1943 from a soldier son they hadn’t heard from in almost two years was the best Christmas gift for which they could ask.

Seventeen months earlier Mr. and Mrs. Adelard Rochon had been notified by the war department that a son, Pte. Raymond Rochon, had been killed in action during the ill-fated Dieppe Raid on Aug. 19, 1942. Another son, Pte. Hector Rochon, also a member of the Fusilliers of Montreal, was reported missing in action in the same raid. Weeks later, another cablegram from the war department said he had been taken prisoner and was somewhere in Germany.

In the letter date Oct. 16, Hector assured his parents that he was well and that he had received two letters they sent via the International Red Cross. A Red Cross package with the letters

included a blanket, socks, sweater and chocolates.

He apologized for the short letter and told his parents that when the war ended and he was released, the first thing he planned to do was visit his brother’s grave in France.

He would wait another two years.

ALSO THIS WEEK IN 1943 - In his year-end report, Magistrate P. C. Bergeron expressed concern with the number of young people appearing in his court room on Liquor Control Act charges. He called it a serious problem and placed some of the blame on lax parental supervision and hotel owners. However, the judge noted that the 837 cases he heard, everything from indictable offences to High Traffic Act charges, had declined from the previous year. ... Mrs. Martha Brown, 632 Pitt St., was notified that one of four sons serving in the military, Pte. Lawrence Brown, was back on the front lines in Italy after recovering from wounds to his arms, hand and legs suffered in a mortar attack. ... Mrs. Fred Robertson of 228 Second St. E. received roses through the International Red Cross from her son who was a prisoner of war in Germany. ...

Sgt. Gerald Parisien (future mayor of Cornwall) was spending his second Christmas overseas. ...

Mr. and Mrs. Watson Ouderkirk of Berwick were notified that their son Edward had been wounded in action while serving with the 8th

COUNCIL NOTICE

The January Council Meeting will take place on Monday, January 21st at 7:00 pm at the Township Office.

IN AND AROUND THE TOWNSHIP

UNITED COUNTIES, Ontario – During this fiscal year, the SDG Counties dished out over $10 million on paving projects alone.

“It is a cost that we would be paying one way or the other,” said Ben De Haan, Director of Transportation and Planning Services of SDG Counties.

During the last SDG Counties council meeting of the year on Monday, Dec. 17, an additional payment adjustment of $224,963.98 to Cornwall Gravel for asphalt cement was passed.

This adjustment contributes to an overall additional cost of approximately $420,500 for asphalt cement this year. This is the largest adjustment De Haan has seen over the last 10 years.

“The cost is for a product that goes into making asphalt, a petroleum product…it does see that market volatility that you see with gas. This is typical for all paving contractors in Ontario,” explained De Haan, referring to the AC

Adjustment Clause which protects both contractors and owners in the province from the fluctuating market pricing.

“In some years, SDG benefits from AC savings, and in other years (such as 2018), SDG is required to compensate the contractor for the increased material input costs,” read a statement in the action request concerning the price adjustment.

De Haan listed a few paving projects that contributed to the overall $10 million price tag, including $1.3 million for work on County Rd. 31 outside of Winchester, $1.3 million for work on County Rd. 43 near Monkland, $1.7 million for work on County Rd. 23 in Curry Hill and $700,000 for work on Headline Rd. “Every year we try to do more,” said De Haan, who feels that the Counties have relatively stable and robust paving projects.

“We tendered early to make sure all of our projects are lined up for the year,” he added.

De Haan reinforced that the cost adjustment is inevitable, and the clause is implemented to

Additional to the total cost of paving projects, SDG Counties spent over $18 million towards Asset Management and Capital Works, which includes but is not limited to bridge work, reconstruction and design work, and replacing storm sewers.

21 Water St. W., Cornwall 613-932-PLAN www.mingassociates.com

Jeff Ridal, Executive Director of the River Institute, explained how funding will support education, camps, youth employment and the River Champions. He was proud to announce that over the past five years, seven full-time staff members have been added to the team.

One new team member includes Dr. Leigh McGaughey, a decorated Research Scientist who has studied in South Africa, Australia and B.C. Dr. McGaughey will assist in the production of an ecosystem health report, The Great River Rapport, which staff are hoping to complete by Spring 2020.

“This is a program we have created called the River Rapport. It’s a really major initiative,” said Dr. McGaughey. She explained that by using ecosystem indicators, the overall health of the river will be graded. The rapport will also highlight stories, data and research about the river through a comprehensive, web-based platform. With help from partners, the institute will be conducting studies from Kingston to Lake Saint Francis.

“We would like to be able to engage the local communities and find out what they would like to know about the river,” said Dr. McGaughey. She encouraged everyone to voice their opinion

through an online survey at http://riverinstitute. ca/riverrapport/.

Ridal also discussed the benefits of continued research revolving wetlands, sediment mapping and the Fish Identification Nearshore Survey (FINS) project.

Walter Oeggerli, Chairman of the Board, explained that the Institute is not government funded. The River Champions is a very beneficial program for the Institute, contributing a total of $80,000 in 2018.

“Over the last number of years, the SDG Counties have been a big part of the River Institute…and it has all payed off, as you can see,” said Oeggerli.

South Stormont Mayor Bryan McGillis was the first to voice his concerns for ecosystems in the river following the presentation. McGillis asked if there is currently research evaluating how various ecosystems are responding in areas where low water levels were prominent during the summer. Ridal confirmed that this is an active file.

Les jeunes de Rose des Vents pouvaient choisir de participer au football, au soccer, au hockey et au patinage libre. L’école aimerait remercier le personnel ainsi que les élèves de l’Héritage qui ont aidé dans l’organisation de cette journée car elle a été des plus agréables.

Now Serving Alexandria, Morrisburg & Moose Creek 1 & 2 & 3 bedroom units available for rent Visit our website www.aplusmanagement.ca

Most bathroom cleaners and all purpose cleaners are highly effective at cleaning soap scum. You can improve the products performance by leaving it on the soap scum slightly longer the the time recommended.

Few bathroom cleaners are very effective at removing mildew. Common household chlorine bleach is highly effective for killing and removing mildew.

Help me settle this debate: Is the Nightmare before Christmas a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie? For that matter, is Die Hard a Christmas movie?

SCUTTLEBUTT I hear a lot that the ER in Alexandria and the one in Winchester are faster than the one in Cornwall. Any truth to this? Anyone know for sure which is the fastest ER?

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

My girlfriend is not a fan of at home electronic assistants like Alexa and Google Home. What do you think of them? Are they invaisions of privacy?

Is this how the rise of the machines starts?

A sincere thank you to the tall angel (gentleman) who pulled into Woodland Villa in Long Sault around 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 11 while I was scraping my large windshield of ice. He sprayed it with a de-icer and then handed me the container to keep. I didn’t get his name but I want him to know “Doe” appreciated his kindness and generosity and I got back to Cornwall safely. God Bless!

Any Christmas pictures you want to share? It is never too late to send them in to the Seaway News!

Question: What do you call a snowman with a six pack? Answer: An abdominal snowman!

SCUTTLEBUTT The City of Cornwall and surrounding municipalities will be looking for volunteers to serve on municipal committees. This is a great way for local residents to influence their government and represent their community. Who knows, it might also be the start of a career in politics.

Kyle on Facebook wrote: To the hard working employees at Tim Horton’s on Brookdale and 13th, you guys always start our day off with a laugh and a smile. This morning in the drive thru you paid for our entire order. I was literally left speechless at the window. Your kindness and generosity is truly appreciated and we look forward to many more mornings shared with you guys, even if it’s only for a minute! Just know that all that kindness you share with others always finds it’s way back to you!

Are you pro-eggnog or against it? If you’re against it, then you’re not adding enough rum!

Mary-Jo was going to the New Year party but needed a special party dress. So she went shopping on Boxing Day. In the clothing store she asked the assistant, ‘May I try on that dress in the window, please?’ ‘Certainly not, madam,’ responded the salesgirl, ‘You’ll have to use the fitting room like everyone else.’

Seen on Facebook: Just would like to give a shout out to the nice person in a white SUV this morning around 5am at the Tim Horton’s drive through on second street. After ordering I pulled up to the window and the women said your order was paid by the car in front of you. Merry Christmas, you know in this world of hate there’s still these handful of people that still have the spirit. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and to all
