Thank you for your work administration.”

“I want to thank this council, you’re great, really great,” Mayor Clement went on to say. “I will remind you that that number won’t make everyone happy.

What this increase does is it keeps operations pretty flat, it maintains our precious, precious infrastructure and has a little bit for the future. We’re doing a combination of things, and I think we’re doing it right for the future.”

The budget was passed almost unanimously, save for Councillor Claude McIntosh, who was absent.

CORNWALL, Ontario – In an email to her colleagues, shared with the media, Councillor Elaine MacDonald explained that she had been contacted by the Smiths Falls Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario who have stated their interest in acquiring Cornwall’s Locomotive #17.

Located on the corner of Brookdale Ave. and Ninth St., Locomotive #17 is the last remaining train from the time that Cornwall used a tramway in the city.

Over the past several years, the train has fallen into disrepair and has been left to rust.

Successive councils have expressed their reluctance to spend the money to refurbish the train, which is currently estimated at around $150,000.

At a budget meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 27, Council voted against MacDonald’s motion to sell, donate or scrap the locomotive.

MacDonald said she spoke over the phone with Graeme Roy, Vice President of the Smith Falls museum and museum engineer Tony Humphrey.

“He (Humphrey) told me he has often looked at our locomotive with tears in his eyes and pledged that if we were to entrust the locomotive to the Smiths Falls Museum it would find a very happy and loving home,” MacDonald wrote to her colleagues.

MacDonald acknowledged that Council had already made a decision on this, but stated that perhaps selling or donating the train to the Smiths Falls museum was an avenue that could be explored in the future.

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall City Council passed their 2019 budget on the second day of deliberations with an average property tax increase of 2.98 percent or $71.81 per household. That totals as an average of $2,484.81 for the year for the average household.

This is the fastest that Council has passed the budget in two years. The 2017 and 2018 budgets as a comparison took roughly six months to pass.

The protracted budget process in 2018 impacted administration, tying their hands when it came to issuing tenders for some contracts, a fact pointed out by Councillor Justin Towndale.

“I think we made good decisions this year,” he said. “I think I can live with this here.”

One reason that other recent budgets took longer to pass was due to steep increases that Council had been presented with by administration. This year’s increase was much lower than expected.

The City’s Chief Financial Officer explained that this was down to the introduction of development charges, money that has been put towards paying for capital projects.

“What really did assist the city was development charges and having that as a new revenue source for capital projects,” she said.

The City of Cornwall is expecting to take in $2.2 million in 2019 in development charges.

Mayor Bernadette Clement applauded the work of administration and council.

Police Board approves over $19 million budget for 2019 shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Police Services Board gave their approval of the proposed annual budget on Tuesday, Feb. 26.

The budget, which will see an approximate increase of 1.99 per cent or $372, 418, totals over $19 million.

“I think this looks like a responsible budget at this time,” said Mayor Bernadette Clement. “I feel satisfied with it. Obviously, we are a new board, and we will probably have more questions…but certainly, I feel comfortable with it.”

Chief Danny Aikman explained that 87 per cent, or $17,936,032 of the budget is tied to staffing costs. A 1.85 per cent increase in salaries across the board, with an additional increase in benefits, contributes heavily to the overall value.

An increase in capital of $43,600 can largely be attributed to vehicle financing and replacement, which

will gradually adorn the new service logo according to Paul Scrimshaw, Deputy Treasurer with the City. A slight increase in services and rent, which accounts for 5 per cent or $27,898 of the overall budget, was also noted.

“There is a small increase in services and rent…an element (of this category) includes the introduction of our Employee Wellness Plan,” said Chief Aikman. Aikman hopes that the plan, which focuses on employees’ mental and physical wellbeing, will be built into the 2020 budget.

Aikman commended Deputy Chief Shawna Spowart for perseverance in seeking provincial and federal grants, which will amount to approximately $1,197,000 in the budget.

It was also noted throughout the meeting that although $621,000 was allotted for overtime pay in 2018, the service incurred over $637,000. Chief Aikman said that this inflated figure is largely because of an increase in

mental health calls by 155 per cent, which, in most cases, involve two officers accompanying an individual to the hospital at an average of 10 hours each. Aikman said it is a goal to reduce the amount of time officers spend at the hospital and the involvement of a mental health professional greatly assists with the process.

During the meeting, Councillor Glen Grant was appointed chairman of the board, along with Michel Payette as Vice Chairman. Martha Woods, Executive Director of the Eastern Ontario Training Board (EOTB) was also sworn in as a new board member as one spot remains vacant.

The budget will be finalized when approved by the budget committee and council.

The Alexandria-Cornwall Diocese released a statement to the media on Friday, March 1.

“This afternoon we learned through the local media that Peter McBride, a deacon for the Diocese of Alexandria-Cornwall, was arrested in Vero Beach, Florida, where he spends his winters,” the Diocese’s statement reads. “In accordance with our diocesan Safe Environment policy, Mr. McBride has been suspended from ministry effective immediately. Also in accordance with our policy, this situation has been referred to the Committee for Safe Environment. We have no further comment at this time pending further investigation of the facts of the situation.”

McBride is listed as a Deacon at St. Peter’s Church.

Local firefighter recognized by Navy Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Sgt. Kevin McHardy, firefighter with Cornwall Fire Services, was recently honoured for his initiative and outstanding service by the Royal Canadian Navy.

Having served in infantry for 18 years in the Royal Canadian Military, McHardy understands the importance of receiving a physical memento that commends hours of tireless work. After attaining the role of Medals Distribution Manager of the Directorate of Honours and Recognition, McHardy strived to efficiently coordinate medal delivery with a diligent team of 10 administrators.

“I can attest that no one accomplishes anything as an individual and this case was no different,” said McHardy. “The hard work (my administrators) put in everyday should not go unmentioned.”

According to McHardy, 12,000 medals were produced and awarded to individuals across the country in 2018, honouring multiple acts of military service.

McHardy noted that there was a backlog of delivering and awarding the medals due to countless deployment and returning schedules, especially with members of the Royal Canadian Navy. He and his team took it upon themselves to better coordinate timings with senior officials.

“Ships sale 365 days a year, all around the world, and I live in Williamstown,” said McHardy.

“Countless times I would be on the phone in the middle of the night talking to a ship, say in the Mediterranean, and what day they’re on.”

Insisting he was simply carrying out his duties to the best of his abilities, McHardy felt humbled when he received the recognition.

“I was just doing my job to be quite frank,” he said. “When you work with passion, the results speak for themselves…it means a lot, if you get a medal from the people you’re working for when you’re there…it impacts the morale of the (unit).”

McHardy left his position as Medals Distribution Manager in 2018 and happily joined Cornwall Fire Services soon after.

“I consider myself very lucky to work for the City of Cornwall as a probationary firefighter.

Every day I work shoulder to shoulder with some of the most highly motivated professionals I have ever met,” he said. “It’s amazing. It has everything I loved about the military but I get to do it close to home…it’s a very rewarding job.”

McHardy especially enjoys working with a small crew of motivated individuals in deployFrom left, Kevin McHardy and his children Ella, 5, and Wyatt, 3. Submitted photo. ment operations.

Thirteenth annual Bishop Cup sets records Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – History was made during the 13th annual Bishop Cup on Wednesday, Feb. 28.

For the first time ever, the Holy Trinity Falcons did not receive any penalties throughout the game. Coupled with a total of 10 minutes that the St. Joseph’s Panthers received, the game saw its lowest combined penalty time ever.

Also making history was the Panthers’ Braeden Levac who opened the scoring at just 41 seconds into the game, making for the fast-

Cornwall Colts

est goal since the cup’s inception.

The final score was 7-4 for the Panthers. They claimed the trophy for the eighth year in a row.

“It’s a feel-good, bragging rights game between the East and West Catholic schools in the city,” said Thom Racine, Co-Founder and Organizer. “We’ve had some really good games over the years. I think every year when you get about a month away you get excited for it.”

Racine, who started the event inspired by the Boston Beanpot, said there were approximately 1,000 people in attendance during the game. All funds raised from the game go to the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul Food Bank.

Recently ordained Bishop Desrochers cheered for the Falcons but gladly awarded the cup to the Panthers’ captain and most valuable player, Lucas Bennis.

“The kids, they have fun playing…we try to make it a good event (for them),” said Racine. “As long as we can keep doing this, keep getting support from the schools…we will be doing this as long as I’m around.”

Cornwall’s Marc Crawford named MARCH MADNESS interim head coach of Senators 20% off KITCHENS March 1st to 31st

OTTAWA, Ontario – The Ottawa Senators announced on Friday, March 1 that Head Coach Guy Boucher had been relieved of his duties and that effective immediately, Marc Crawford has been named as his interim replacement.

“I want to thank Guy for his three years of service. He is a good person and has been an excellent representative of the Senators. At this point, however, we need a different set of coaching and leadership skills to guide our team through this rebuild,” said general manager Pierre Dorion. “In the interim, Marc will bring a different perspective along with a wealth of head coaching experience.”

Crawford, 58, played three seasons with the Cornwall Royals during which time the team won back-to-back Memorial Cups. Crawford was drafted by the Vancouver Canucks in 1980.

He coached the Colorado Avalanche to a Crawford at the 2006 NHL Awards.

The 2019 budget was a triumph, now the work starts Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

8 - Wednesday, March 6, 2019 - Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

The 2019 budget was passed at lightning speed when compared to the 2017 and 2018 seasons.

Both the 2017 and 2018 budget took six months each. The speed at which this budget was passed can be credited to the work of city administration and the cooperation amongst councillors, which I believe in large part was thanks to Mayor Bernadette Clement. There was also the fact that a starting tax increase of 3.09 percent is much easier to swallow than an increase of 8 percent, which is what council was facing in 2018.

One reason why the tax increase was lower than expected this year is thanks to development charges. In 2018, Council introduced development charges, which means that developers must pay a fee to the City of Cornwall when they want to do something like connect a property to a municipal service, like the water/ waste water system. Cornwall was one of the few municipalities in Ontario to not use development charges and thanks to their introduction, administration forecasts that there will be an increase of revenue to the City of $2.2 million, which will be spent on municipal capital projects.

Overall, the budget process this year was fairly smooth. There were no moments where money was voted to be cut, only to be put back in later. There are some exciting capital projects that got the greenlight, including the new welcome signage at the Port of Entry, and on the other hand, a tax increase of 2.98 per cent, which was the final number, would have been a dream for council just a year ago. Remember, like everyone else, year on year, the City of Cornwall

has to manage the rising cost of fuel, increases in pay and benefits to employees, as well as the general increase in cost of living.

All of this however, is not to say that there weren’t a few hiccups along the road. The passing of $300,000 for the design of the new Arts Centre without first having a business plan has raised some eyebrows. Why spend $300,000 on the design of something if it’s true scope and purpose is yet to be determined? Additionally, everyone, whether they be in administration, on Council or part of a Community Agency group believe that the Community Agency funding system seems to be broken.

Ultimately however, we must give credit where credit is due. Council booked out four

consecutive days of deliberations on this year’s budget, and ultimately only needed two. Having consecutive days of meetings was efficient and whether the budget be hard or easy, I think that’s how it should be done going forward. In the past couple of years, council would meet once, maybe twice a week over the course of months, and this is primarily what caused the process to drag on, which delayed tenders and projects for the year.

This budget I think, was easy, let’s see if this Council can handle a bigger challenge when it comes next year.

was rescued from her second-floor room by firefighters using a ladder.

Fire Chief Lucien Carriere said the four bodies taken from the house were found near their beds. All four he said were overcome by the thick smoke and had no chance to escape. The fire was believed to have started near the front entrance.

It was the city’s largest accidental loss of life since November 1963 when four teen-agers were killed in a car-train collision at a rail crossing on Brookdale Avenue. This was before the overpass was built.

ALSO THIS WEEK IN 1971: • Stormont MPP Fern Guindon was named Ontario tourism minister.

•The Jade Garden Restaurant, 25 Second St. E., was celebrating its 22nd anniversary.

•CJSS employees Mahlon Clark (chief engineer) and Lyal Nixon (sales supervisor) were honoured for 26 years of service.

• Mayor Nick Kaneb said job creation was his priority. However, the city’s high unemployment rate would be the veteran politician’s downfall in the December mayoral election, when he lost to Ed Lumley.

•Ald. Roy Brunet called for the creation of a bylaw enforcement officer to inspect city dwellings for unlicensed basement apartments and rooming houses.

•At the Kinsmen Music Festival, LouiseAndree Baril, 13, and Joel Derouin, 14, were lauded by the adjudicator for their piano duet which was given a score of 90.

• Simon Fraser Centennial Library presented its annual report that showed while membership increased to 32,426 (up 3,322) book circulation dipped to 370,431 from 390,559.

Cornwall Royals upset the Quebec Remparts 5-1 at the Water Street Arena.

• Rookie Blair MacDonald had two goals with Mike Ruest, Gerry Teeple and Mike Boisvenue adding one apiece.

• The Royals crashed to earth three days later in Quebec City with the Remparts thumping them 15-1. Lafleur scored six goals.

• Cornwall Minor Hockey Association atoms defeated Vanier 6-4 with Barry Roundpoint and Ray Bourdon notching two apiece. Georges Levere and Blake Denneny each had one goal.

TRIVIA ANSWER: The Lafayette Hotel became the Aardvark. The original name of the hotel was the Runions Carleton.

TRIVIA: The Lloyd George Hotel at Pitt and Water streets was named after: 1) A former mayor and his business partner who bought the hotel, 2) Former prime minister of Great Britain, 3) A local doctor who had his office in the hotel, 4) A Canadian prime minister, 5) A Canadian First World War hero.

FACTS’N’FIGURES: Cornwall’s busiest arterial routes are Brookdale (14th street to Sara), Marleau (McConnell-Lochiel) and Ninth (Pitt-McConnell). The daily average is 15,000-plus vehicles.

SPORTS STUFF: The feeling among Toronto media types is that if the Leafs don’t go past the first round, Mike Babcock is gone and Joel Quenneville is in.

Meanwhile, if Columbus doesn’t make the playoffs, John Tortorella is toast. And, Marc Crawford will be part of the Senators’ rebuild.

Think this has been a tough winter?

Compared to the winter of 1971 this one has been the proverbial slice of cake.

The city and counties already had 150 inches (380 centimeters) of snow since Dec. 1 when a blizzard whipped by galeforce winds blew in during the overnight hours of March 4 dumping 24 inches (61 centimeters) of snow over several hours.

By early morning the city and counties were at a standstill as plows unable to cope were taken off the streets and roads or abandoned.

Nobody could remember the last time the city’s downtown business section had been closed by a snowstorm. And not just for one day, but two.

Rural communities overnight became isolated ghost towns buried in a sea of snow.

In all, 500 transports and dozens of cars were abandoned on Highway 401 between Morrisburg and the Quebec border after they stalled in five-foot drifts. Snowmobiles were used to rescue stranded drivers and passengers.

Mrs. Earl Brownell had the occupants of nine cars stranded on the Avonmore Road as unexpected guests.

In Morrisburg, the local legion branch became a shelter for 70 people brought from the 401 on convoys of snowmobiles organized by the OPP, 40 of them Montreal high school students travelling by school bus. Dozens more stranded motorists and truckers were put up at motels and in pri-

vate homes.

Every hotel room in Cornwall was taken by stranded truckers and motorists It took five days of digging out for the city and district to return to normal, as normal as things could be after one of the worst blizzards to hit the region in memory.

Several rural schools were closed for seven days.

Heavy-duty tow trucks were brought in from other parts of Eastern Ontario to assist in the massive Highway 401 clean-up.

With plows of limited use in the city snow-clearing operations, seven bulldozers were employed for two days to lead the way in the largest snow-clearing operation in Cornwall’s history.

Even before the storm hit, the city had blown through its $170,000 snow-removal budget for the year. The storm clean-up was expected to add another $50,000 to the budget deficit. _________________________________ The day before the big storm, a breakfast-hour blaze which ripped through a large three-storey frame rooming house at Fourth and Augustus streets (northwest corner) became the city’s deadliest fire since the Rossmore Hotel blaze on April 29, 1909 which claimed 12 lives, four from the same family.

The March 3, 1971 fire which broke out around 7 a.m. left five female residents dead, one an 18-year-old married just a month earlier. Several other residents managed to escape the blaze reported to the fire station 200 yards down the street just as shifts were changing.

Four bodies were removed from the building. A fifth resident died in hospital.

Your Credit Union supports CCH

Nick Seebruch

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – For nearly 10 years, Your Credit Union in Cornwall has been a loyal supporter of the Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH).

Initially, their support came in the form of annual donations of $5,000. Their support grew over the years as they helped back the Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation’s (CCHF) goal of funding and building a new Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH).

From 2015 until the completion of the project, Your Credit Union committed to donating

$10,000 a year in support of CAMH. Thanks in part to this support, the CCHF reached their funding goal of $1.2 million for CAMH 10 months ahead of schedule.

“Supporting the Cornwall Community Hospital was a natural fit for us,” said Doug MacMillan Director of Retail Services at Your Credit Union. “Our members always tell us that for them, healthcare is a priority.”

“We are thrilled to have our partnership with Your Credit Union,” said Amy Gillespie, Executive Director of CCHF. “They are a local business that walks the walk when it comes to community support.”

Your Credit Union is literally a part of the

CCH, not just in terms of their support, but they also have a kiosk within the hospital.

Protestors advocate against travelling wildlife show Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – While many families attended Little Ray’s Wildlife Festival inside of Nav Centre on Sunday, March 3, protestors held a different conversation and message outside.

“We are concerned about the kind of event where animals are brought around for display,” said Michele Thorn, activist with Ottawa Animal Defence League. “These are wild animals that have been rescued, which is fine. If they’re rescuing animals, I’m glad for that. But these animals shouldn’t be brought around and put on display in arenas with strange people, strange noises and strange smells. It’s stressful for (the animals) to be brought around (North America)…they are not here for our entertainment.”

Thorn commended Little Ray’s Nature Centre for their sanctuary locations and rescue efforts.

She understands and agrees with fundraising ventures that involve public viewings within stationary sanctuaries. However, when it comes to travelling and breeding rescued animals within captivity, Thorn does not hold the same beliefs.

“It’s essentially a zoo on wheels. (I also) takes issue if the centre is breeding animals. They’re not repopulating the wild, they’re just creating more animals that will only ever know captivity,” said Thorn.

Thorn and Diana Payne, fellow animal rights activist, specifically spoke about the rescue and needs of sloths. Contending that they are very solitary creatures, both activists agreed that sloths should not be subjected to an atmosphere

that is drastically different from an environment in which they will thrive. “(Sloths) are not meant to be pets. They’re wild animals. There’s a big exotic trade now with sloths.

It’s becoming a huge problem and I think having a sloth on display as an attraction isn’t sending the right message,” said Payne.

Thorn said she was happy to stop and talk with anyone about their perspective on the matter during the protest. The protestors had received a few honks of support and thumbs up about an hour into their display. “It’s changing people’s minds and it makes them think a little different,” said Thorn. “They belong in the wild, but if they have been rescued, we (should) do our best at that point to let them be in peace. But don’t make more animals,” she added.

Thousands flock to Little Ray’s Wildlife Festival Shawna O’Neill

shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – From birds, to skunks, to reptiles and more, Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo and Nature Centre was open to the public at Nav Centre for the second year in a row on Saturday, March 2 and Sunday March 3.

Del Niedzialek, Director with Little Ray’s and Executive Director of the Foundation for Animal Rescue and Education, said he expected over 2,000 attendees throughout the weekend. Tickets to attend were $14.50 per person, with persons under 3-years-old admitted for free.

“There’s kind of two main points to these (exhibit) events. One of them is to go to smaller towns that don’t have all the museums and

science facilities that say Toronto and Montreal might have…and give them the opportunity to have access to supplementary educational institutions like those,” said Niedzialek. “In addition to that, these are also fundraisers, not just for Little Ray’s…but for multiple other charities as well.”

Niedzialek explained that this year, Little Ray’s is supporting the Wildlife Conservation Society, which is run by zoos within New York. Niedzialek commended the society and their preservation efforts with the Burmese star tortoise. Little Ray’s will soon be sending a team to Burma to assist with breeding and releasing projects.

During the weekend-long event, attendees could interact with several animals, touch tables with furs and skulls, and listen to biologist presentations which mainly focused on responsible pet

ownership and backyard conservation.

“This is an event series we have run for about 16 years now across Canada,” said Niedzialek. “It is our first year moving it into the United States as well…Our set of organizations is expanding quite quickly. We have (sanctuary) locations in Hamilton, Ottawa, Syracuse and Halifax.”

Niedzialek explained that he has seen firsthand how the exhibit events spark people’s passion for wildlife, conservation or biology.

“We have a stack of thousands and thousands of letters from people,” said Niedzialek, recalling one letter regarding a past attendee who decided to study conservation because of the Little Ray’s event they attended.

Niedzialek understood that a group of protestors intended to express their opinions outside

Protesters outside of Nav Centre, where Little Rays Reptile Zoo and Nature Centre hosted thousands this weekend.

of the event.

“Once in a while we will have a small group of people protesting our events who never contact us, never ask us what we do and equate captivity to cruelty,” he said. “If you take the spectrum of people’s views about animals…you have these two tiny groups at each of the spectrum that can dominate the conversation. It’s an area where people can have very simple and absolute views…there’s almost no simple sentence you can say that will convey animal ethics (per scenario).”

LE MERCREDI 6 MARS 2019 | VOL. 8, NUMERO 48 | WWW.CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

Communiqué de presse de le CSDCEO CORNWALL, Ontario - Au cours des prochaines semaines, les élèves des écoles catholiques du Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO) vont préparer leur coeur à la grande fête de Pâques. Pour ce faire, l’Église invite les paroissiens et les paroissiennes à cheminer dans la foi et l’écocitoyenneté tout comme le thème systémique du CSDCEO : Change le monde, un geste à la fois.

C’est le 6 mars prochain, avec le mercredi des Cendres, que débute la période liturgique du Carême. Cette période de 40 jours vise à préparer les catholiques à la grande fête de Pâques, qui aura lieu le dimanche 21 avril. Afin d’aider les élèves à se préparer, l’Office Provincial de l’Éducation de la foi Catholique de l’Ontario (OPÉCO) a choisi le thème « Vivre un Carême 5R… dans la foi » pour célébrer ce temps le plus important pour les chrétiens et les chrétiennes.

Les 5R, soit réduire, réutiliser, recycler, réparer et révérer, visent à encourager la responsabilisation des élèves envers l’environnement tout en faisant un lien avec les valeurs catholiques. « Dans nos écoles catholiques, les

célébrations pastorales sont vécues avec respect et authenticité. Il existe un lien naturel entre la catholicité et l’environnement comme le démontre le thème de cette année. Notre foi nous incite à prendre soin de notre planète, source d’abondance. Cette thématique écologique vient partager la vision de notre Plan stratégique dont l’une des priorités est l’écocitoyenneté . », de partager M. François Turpin, directeur de l’éducation et secrétaire.

Le Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO) est le plus grand réseau d’écoles de langue française dans les cinq comtés de Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, Prescott et Russell. En plus d’avoir le plus haut taux de diplomation de la région (93,2 %), le CSDCEO offre des programmes pour la réussite de tous les élèves, des valeurs catholiques, un français de qualité et un certificat de bilinguisme. Le CSDCEO assure l’éducation à plus de 10 100 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).

Ce magicien du nom d’Éric Leclerc a un talent très évident pour amuser la foule, pour la faire rire et réfléchir. Son spectacle permet au public de réfléchir sur l’intimidation et à l’utilisation des appareils multimédias par exemple. Les élèves rient mais retiennent d’importantes leçons.

Certains chanceux ont même pu partager la scène avec Mystéric pour quelques minutes. En effet, Brayden Norris (1ère année de Mme Michèle Racicot) et Olivia Baillie (classe de 2e-3e année de Mme Alysha Lavictoire) ont été, pour quelques instants, des

Un invité Mystéric “eux” à l’école Rose des Vents!

Michel Payment est un artiste originaire de Lafontaine, un petit village dans la région de la baie Georgienne. Il était en tournée dans trois écoles cette semaine pour chanter avec les élèves de la 3e à la 6 e année, des chansons traditionnelles du folklore canadien français et pour les initier aux chants des premières nations anishinabée, haudenausaunee et ouendaké.

Accompagné de sa guitare et de son tambour, Michel a su les enchanter avec ces airs entrainants. En fin de journée, et au grand plaisir des élèves, chaque école a monté un spectacle que tous, petits et grands ont apprécié. Les élèves des écoles catholiques Sainte-Lucie, NotreDame et Marie-Tanguay ont beaucoup apprécié leur rencontre avec l’artiste, les 25, 26 et 27 février derniers.

Dans la soirée du mercredi 27 février, la

communauté francophone a répondu à l’invitation de l’Amalgame des arts de la langue française et du théâtre à participer à un atelier d’écriture avec Michel Payment. Tous ont eu du plaisir à composer de nouvelles paroles sur l’air d’une chanson bien connue de Félix Leclerc.

Enfin un grand spectacle intergénérationnel s’est déroulé le vendredi, 1er mars, à l’École secondaire catholique La Citadelle où les élèves des trois écoles élémentaires ont chanté pour leurs parents et la communauté, les airs autochtones et francophones qu’ils ont appris cette semaine avec le chansonnier. Se sont joints aux jeunes, les choristes de l’atelier de l’Amalgame, qui ont présenté leur création, « Notre histoire oubliée. » l’ACFO-SDG est fière de s’associer au CSDCEO, à L’Écho d’un peuple et à l’Amalgame pour monter le projet « Généraction. »

La CNS participe à la Semaine de sensibilisation aux espèces envahissantes Communiqué de presse de la CNS NATION SUD, Ontario - La Semaine de sensibilisation aux espèces envahissantes se déroule du 25 février au 3 mars et la Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) y participe en sensibilisant le public, tout en s’efforçant de contrôler les espèces envahissantes sur ses 12 000 acres de terres communautaires disséminées sur 4 384 km2 dans l’Est ontarien.

Il y a plus de 20 espèces envahissantes sur le territoire, dont des arbustes comme le cynanche et le nerprun bourdaine, des plantes aquatiques comme l’iris jaune, des espèces de poissons dont le gobie à taches noires et des insectes comme l’agrile du frêne.

Les espèces envahissantes perturbent l’écologie naturelle des écosystèmes et la biodiversité, et font concurrence aux espèces indigènes pour la nourriture et l’habitat, ce qui peut avoir des répercussions sur la foresterie, la pêche et les industries agricoles. « Nous travaillons constamment à surveiller et contrôler les populations d’espèces envahissantes sur les propriétés de la CNS », déclare Pat

Piitz, chef d’équipe des propriétés de la CNS. « Les plantes, poissons et insectes envahissants peuvent menacer nos écosystèmes sensibles et rares qui sont indigènes à la région. » En 2018, des centaines de frênes infectés par l’agrile du frêne ont été enlevés et remplacés dans la ville d’Ottawa grâce au Programme pilote de remplacement des frênes, résultat d’un partenariat entre les offices de protection de la nature et la Ville d’Ottawa.

La CNS est également membre du Programme de sensibilisation aux espèces envahissantes de l’Ontario, administré par l’Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters; par l’entremise de ce programme, l’Office de protection de la nature a embauché des étudiants d’été pour sensibiliser la population aux espèces envahissantes au moyen d’activités de sensibilisation. « L’un des moyens de prévenir l’introduction ou la propagation d’espèces envahissantes dans de nouveaux endroits est de prendre conscience des espèces présentes dans la région », ajoute M. Piitz. « De nombreuses espèces envahissantes peuvent ressembler à des

espèces indigènes. » Pour plus d’informations sur les différents types d’espèces envahissantes et sur les moyens de prévenir leur propagation, veuillez consulter le site : www.nation.on.ca/water/projects/ invasive-species-control.

Les résidents peuvent également

communiquer avec la CNS pour signaler une espèce envahissante dans la région.

UNE GRANDE FÊTE RASSEMBLANT LES HUMORISTES FRANCOPHONES DU CANADA

En lien avec sa stratégie écocitoyenne, le CSDCEO a lancé le Défi 10 000 à ses élèves et membres du personnel des écoles et du bureau central. Bien que les bouteilles de plastique peuvent être recyclées, on doit d’abord en réduire le nombre en les évitant. En Ontario, seulement 14 % des bouteilles en plastique sont recyclées. Le CSDCEO et ses écoles s’engagent à devenir plus écoresponsables au cours des prochaines années et à transmettre à tous nos élèves les connaissances et les compétences en lien avec les droits et les devoirs de tout bon écocitoyen. « La stratégie écocitoyenne est une priorité pour le CSDCEO. En plus de vouloir faire une différence pour notre planète, nous voulons surtout sensibiliser les élèves et faire d’eux de bons écocitoyens et écocitoyennes.

Special thanks to the City of Cornwall for flying the flags at half mast after the passing of my son, Paul Dionne. Paul worked for the City for many years and was also a transit driver. Thanks to all of his former co-workers both at the City and at Cornwall Transit, and also to the members of the White Knucklerz Bike Club that Paul was a part of for your visit to his service and kind words during a difficult time. Thank you to Father Louis Groetelaars for the service. Thank you to MP Guy Lauzon for your thoughts and sympathies. We never could have imagined that Paul knew so many wonderful, caring people.

Two guys are out hunting in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn’t appear to be breathing, his eyes are glazed over.

The other man pulls out his phone with trembling fingers and calls 911. He gasps, “My friend is dead! What can I do?”

The operator says “Please stay calm. I will help you. First of all, let’s make sure he’s dead.”

There’s a silence, then a gun shot.

The guy gets back on the phone and says “OK, now what?”

OPINION

Getting dressed can be a challenge

Nick Wolochatiuk Dances With Words

think that the bulb at its bottom had sprung a leak; no mercury in sight. None of the routine noises outside. School buses cancelled. Garbage truck running late. No barking dogs being taken for a walk. It was a “Silent night”, but now all is white. It might as well be the feast of Stephen, for “…the snow is deep and crisp…” – but not even. On the windward side of my pickup, the frozen grass has been bared. Unfortunately, the leeward driver’s side has snow almost as high as an elephant’s eye.

It’s time to plod behind my snowblower. I start the time-consuming process of getting myself dressed to deal with Eastern Ontario’s January bitter cold, deep snow and biting wind.

Remembering what those kindergarten kids had to do to prepare them for winter recess, I pay a visit to the little room down the hall. Afterwards

It’s challenging to get kindergarteners dressed for a snowy day recess. In comparison to what I’m going to tell you about, that’s a piece of cake.

Suiting up an astronaut for a space walk is easy as pie in comparison. Making sure a Jacques Cousteau deep-sea diver is properly dressed is difficult. Fitting a DD-endowed actress into her gown is also a challenge. When she takes her bows after accepting her Golden Globe award, there must be no possibility of a ‘wardrobe mishap’.

However, what I do several times each winter is far more difficult, time-consuming and of critical importance than all of the above combined.

A glance at the outside thermometer made me

I double-check to make sure my fly is done up. In temperature conditions where Celsius and Fahrenheit meet, failure to do so could result in damage to the plumbing.

There are now more than a dozen items of dress to be attended to. Just as in house construction, one starts at the bottom. Woollen socks are a must. No cotton jeans; fleece trousers take their place, over which go windbreaking nylon pants with elasticized cuffs. On go the high-top fleecelined boots. The pant cuffs are pulled far down to prevent infiltration by the crotch-high snow.

Next, a long-sleeved fleece T-shirt, its generous length tucked inside the trousers, which are then snugged to prevent trespass by chilling drafts.

Next, another insulating layer, a jacket, over which a nylon windbreaker is applied.

Gas-powered snow blowers are noisier than a gaggle of hard of hearing seniors, so ear guards (that look like ear muffs) are more than a winter fashion statement. They are de rigueur if working with any high rpm small engines (or large engines, such as RR Merlins or P&W Wasps).

Then, the body’s attic. On goes a ball cap that has a large visor to shelter my eyes from the swirling clouds of snow. Then the ear guards, followed by the hood of the insulated coat, over which goes the nylon windbreaker’s hood, draw string tightened.

Finally, leather mittens with woollen inserts.

The sleeves of the jacket have to overlap them.

That’s when I call out, “Juliet! Could you tuck me in!”

If the snowblower starts, we’re off to the races.

Plod, plod, plod is far better than shovelling.
