CORNWALL, Ontario – The 19th annual Hike for Hospice is returning on Sunday, May 5.

This annual event raises money to support Carefor Hospice Cornwall, which helps out community members and their families during the most difficult of times.

Last year’s Hike for Hospice saw 150 hikers raise $54,173.

“One hundred per cent of the money stays in the community and goes towards the operations of the hospice,” said Sandy Collette, Carefor Fundraising Coordinator. “We only receive 50 per cent of our funding from the government and we have to raise the remainder, about $600,000.”

CORNWALL, Ontario – École élémentaire catholique Notre-Dame has received a $15,000 grant to purchase new instruments for their music program.

The money came through the MusiCounts program which is funded by the Junos Music Awards.

With the funding, Notre-Dame was able to purchase new keyboards, xylophones, headphones, drums, microphones and more. All of the instruments were provided by Melody Music in Cornwall.

“We want to give a big thanks to Kim at Melody Music,” said Melanie Bouchard, Arts teacher at Notre-Dame. “He helped us so much.”

With the new equipment, Bouchard plans on growing the music program.

“Having new instruments is such a privilege for the kids, she said. “You get to discover different talents and some are interested in lessons now.”

Principal Pascal Lalonde explained that he applied for the program because he believes music encourages a stronger educational environment.

“Having a student that is interested in being in school is a student who wants to succeed,” he said.

Bouchard said that with the new instruments she is hoping to hold more concerts throughout the year.

“We’re bringing back concerts, they’re kind of a dying art form,” Bouchard said.

The school had already purchased about two dozen new ukuleles, which will be used to play Amazing Grace at this year’s Grade 6 graduation.

Dozens attend Catholic Fair From left, Mayzie, Hawley and Charlotte Light with artwork they made at the Catholic Fair (Shawna O’Neill/TC Media).

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Agora Catholic Centre saw about a hundred attendees during the Catholic Faith Fair on Saturday, April 13 between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.

According to Kim Walsh, Director of the Family Resource Centre, the Fair had returned after a six year break.

“We got a new Auxiliary Bishop (Guy Desroucher) at the end of February, so this is a good opportunity for people to come meet him, because a lot haven’t met him yet…it gives people the opportunity to talk to him for longer than they might have otherwise,” said Walsh, who noted that Desroucher hadn’t stopped greeting and chatting with attendees since the event started.

For no charge, families could enjoy free snacks and refreshments, conversations about faith and information packages about local faith organizations.

“There’s a good opportunity for people to see what is available (in the faith community)… for people to see the booths and show off what they do,” said Walsh.

Different local and international organization, most faith-based, were in attendance, including the Knights of Columbus of St. Andrew’s, Development and Peace, Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) and the Alpha program of the Diocese of Cornwall-Alexandria.

“Several families came out and had fun at the craft table…and the (children’s mock) bowling alley there,” said Walsh, as many children tried their hand at creating religious artworks and playing on a plush bowling matt.

Walsh was happy to see the excitement of attendees and glad to see community members be acquainted with Bishop Guy Desroucher.

CPS launches No Gang Colours, No Gang Clothing program

shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Police Service (CPS) is striving to reduce the presence of outlaw motorcycle gangs locally by launching a “No Gang Colours, No Gang Clothing” program.

“As Cornwall experiences an increased presence of outlaw motorcycle gangs, it is important to send a clear message that the city is not ‘open for business’ to the activities of any criminal enterprises…(this) is a partnership between the police and participating businesses in an effort to stop outlaw motorcycle gangs from intimidating

other patrons, and preventing future crimes from occurring on their property,” read a statement in a CPS press release.

The CPS will supply signs to interested local businesses, which clearly state the “No Gang Colour, No Gang Clothing” policy is being enforced through the Trespass to Property Act. The CPS will have authority to enforce the Act for patrons violating the dress code by wearing gang colors or clothing where a sign is posted, in effort of fostering safer and more secure local environments.

“Drug trafficking, fraud, human trafficking, and contraband smuggling are all known to be

criminal activities conducted by outlaw gangs, and we want to help our local business community ensure these activities are not occurring on their premises,” explained Det. S/Sgt. Robert Archambault, Criminal Investigations Division.

The CPS will work with participating businesses to help differentiate between outlaw motorcycle gang colours and law-abiding motorcycle clubs. Outlaw gangs often wear patches and pins that denote club status.

In March, the Ontario government announced an investment of $16.4 million over two years towards a Gun and Gang Support Unit, which will enhance major investigations and prosecutions,

as well as province-wide intelligence gathering.

The province also established a Gun and Gang Specialized Investigations Fund to support joint forces operations.

The government also announced that it will work with communities to establish justice centres across the province that move justice out of a traditional courtroom and into a community setting.

Any business interested in participating in the “No Gang Colours, No Gang Clothing” program is encouraged to contact the Crime Reduction & Community Partnerships branch at (613) 9335000 ext. 2725.

47th Raisin River Canoe Race Shawna O’Neill

shawna.oneill@tc.tc

SOUTH STORMONT & SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – The 47th Raisin River Canoe Race brought a renewed sense of spring excitement to towns across the region on Sunday, April 14, with 350 ambitious individuals paddling down the river, and even more locals spectating.

In places along the river like Martintown, families and friends were catching up with each other by the dozens. The smell of poutine wafted through the air from the Martintown Trading Post, and many enjoyed taking in local sights like the Martintown Grist Mill. Along the river towards Williamstown, swarms occupied bridges, chanting through horns with messages of encouragement. Many others sat around small bonfires. Although weather forecasts called for excessive rain, only a drizzle could be felt in the afternoon, with overcast skies remaining calm throughout the morning.

According to Lisa Van De Ligt, Raisin Region Conservation Authority Communications Specialist , 207 canoes and kayaks hit the water this year, alongside the first ever stand-up

paddleboard. Racers departed as early as 10:30 a.m. from St. Andrew’s West, paddling 30 km to Williamstown with a brief portage in Martintown. Each racer was awarded with a medal upon completion of the race.

Many spectators were hoping to see participants try their hand at shooting the Martintown Dam but the area was closed off due to safety concerns.

“The flows were good, about 1,300 cubic ft. per second, which in comparison…is a bit more than last year, but not nearly as high as two years ago,” explained Van De Ligt. “We have a safety committee formed…and every race day, every year, they look at the conditions…usually if the flows are more than 1,000 cubic ft. per second, it’s not safe for them to shoot the dam.”

Organizers Phil Barnes and Lissa Deslandes were happy with the turnout and enjoyed seeing the excitement of participants at the finish line.

Brian Arberry, President of Martintown Grist Mill, was thrilled to see the community come to life in light of the event.

“I just think it’s great the way Martintown

opens up, like the Grand Hotel, the restaurants have specials on, the Trading Post is open. You know, it’s really neat. If you look around, everyone is having a good time,” said Arberry. “When you’re standing here you’ll see them coming up the sidewalk. They’re having a good time, the participants, so that’s always important too.”

For locals like Mike Belmore and Tracy MacDonald, the race is an unmissable tradition.

“I grew up on the river so I’ve been watching it every year,” said Belmore, who participated in the race twice. “It’s longer than I think everyone realizes…my son and I were talking about going in next year. He may not be old enough this year,

but we were thinking about it.”

“You know the people going by…being from the area. It’s just a great community event,” said MacDonald.

Results showed the top three racers as follows: First place – Boat #96, Christopher Weber and Pierre Lavictoire at 2 hours, 19 minutes and 12 seconds.

Second place – Boat #37, Gaetan Plourde and Jeff Brainard at 2 hours, 20 minutes and 6 seconds.

Third place – Boat #166 Claude Roux and Pierre Pinard at 2 hours, 28 minutes and 17 seconds.

Rural communities will lose out if health units cut Nick Seebruch

The Ford Government’s first budget came down last week, and amongst other issues, the budget pledged to reduce the number of health units in the province from 35, to 10 in addition to a funding cut of $200 million.

I think that this represents a serious loss of representation for rural communities. While it is unclear right now which health units will be targeted, smaller ones, like the Eastern Ontario Health Unit, will likely be absorbed into larger neighbours, like Ottawa.

The health issues we face in our rural region are not always the same as you would see in a larger city and require a different approach.

Our region tends to be a little older than urban areas, which presents its own challenges. We also tend to face health issues that can be related to animals and wildlife, like ticks for example.

There is also the fact, that fewer health units means less service for taxpayers. Just as with their cuts to education, the Ford Government is saving money by reducing service.

Public Health Units are responsible for coordinating and formulating health strategies for their regions. They also provide education on parenting, healthy diets food inspection and education on communicable diseases and the importance of immunization.

This last point, immunization has become crucial in 2019. Sadly, misinformation, skepticism of real science and a general over confidence in some parents of their medical knowledge has lead to a decline in vaccinations of children against diseases such as measles.

This has lead to outbreaks of measles in places like New York City, with cases as close to home as Ottawa. It is tragic that children are suffering from and dying from preventable diseases due to a lack of education and frankly arrogance on the part of their parents.

It is now that we need our Public Health Units more than ever to fight misinformation and get rates of vaccination up to the levels where they need to be, so that diseases like the measles are once again a thing of the past.

If you disagree with the Conservative plan to cut Public Health Units, if you disagree with their plan to increase class sizes, or feel that there are more pressing issues to be addressed in their first budget than “a buck a beer”, then I encourage you to email our local Conservative MPP, Jim McDonell at jim.mcdonellco@pc.ola.org If you would like to email me your opinions on this or any other issue, then send a Letter to the Editor to nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

On having it all Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

Things just don’t get better. Our night in the snugness of the van had everything but the sounds of owls and whip-poor-wills. The glowing embers of our campfire had been our nightlight.

The new day came with a mist that slowly retreated to reveal our wilderness setting. The surface of the lake mirrored the evergreens and birches on the opposite shore. We had just finished off a hearty breakfast that featured the aromas of wood smoke, coffee, sizzling bacon, fried eggs and toast. Mosquitoes and blackflies are not a feature of late September in the Adirondacks.

We had a full day ahead of us. We had each other. We had it all.

As we set off, the eerie echo of a loon in the distance and the rhythmic stroke of our paddles were the only sounds. After a mile of cruising parallel to the rocky shoreline we noticed a steep gravel road emerging from the forest. We paused to watch a large motorhome skilfully backing a boat trailer down to the shoreline launching site.

Obviously, this was not the first time the driver had done that. We admired his skill. He had everything any fisherman would want: a fine boat, equipped

with ‘drop bars’ to anchor the boat in shallows, a depth finder, an elevated seat to cast from and an electric trolling motor at the bow.

The boat, released from its trailer, drifted away from the launching ramp. No problem; as casually as if he were changing the channel on his television set, he used a remote control to start its electric motor, then steer the boat back to snuggle against the wharf. It was a ‘drone boat’.

Our easy-going conversation gradually revealed the back-story to what was taking place. “This might be our last time for Maija and I to go fishing. The $20,000 I’ve spent on her hasn’t slowed down her cancer. Actually, we both have it, and there’s no cure for old age.”

Maija, his big old dog, was a golden Labrador. It was quite obvious these two shared a deep bond for each other. They had it all – except health.

Next, his attention was directed toward the dog trustingly waiting on the shore. Years ago she would have bounded onto the boat on her own, but she was no longer the agile pup she once was. Lots of gentle assistance was needed to get her resting comfortably near the bow. I imagined she could still bark “Mark twain!” if the need arose.

With that, man and his dog slowly and quietly made their way across the lake. There was no need to start up the big outboard at the stern. The electric trolling motor at the bow was enough.

It was a touching sight. I left a note on his camper’s windshield, offering to send copies of the photos I took of them together. I never heard from him. Memories are often better than photographs.

OPINION for calling him a liar. The alderman also called Engineer Gerald Walsh a liar but later backtracked and apologized. • Cornwall Area Recycling Program (CARP) was pulling the plug on its operation. Co-ordinator Elaine Kennedy cited the volunteer organization’s inability to find a permanent headquarters.

CARP had moved five times in an 18-month period. • After 100 Caravelle Carpets workers staged a wildcat strike, Courtauld’s announced that it was locking out 500 employees at the nearby rayon staple fibre plant. • Council voted to increase transit fares by five cents to 25 cents for adults and 20 cents for seniors and students. The increase was expected to reduce the annual $250,000 deficit by $90,000. Council also voted to introduce exact fares. •Rev. Rudolphe Villeneuve said there was “some chance” he would seek the Stormont Conservative nomination for the June provincial election. (He did). • Hoping to get a provincial grant, city council had cut a sewer project for Pacific Avenue from the capital budget. However, the provincial-federal grant application was unsuccessful, leaving homes on the street connected to septic tanks something the health unit condemned as a health hazard. •Goaltender Mario Vien was named Player of the Year at the annual Royals’ Fan Club Appreciation Night.

SPORTS STUFF: To mark its 50th season the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (the Cornwall Royals were charter members despite an attempt by some Quebec politicians to keep them out) produced a list of its 50 greatest players. And one of the greatest of the great Royals, Dale Hawerchuk, is No. 7 on the list, headed by, no surprise, Guy Lafleur. Royals’ goaltender Tim Bernhardt was No. 39. In his two QMJHL seasons, Hawerchuk won just about every award available. He remains the only 16-year-old to be named league MVP. He had a total of 286 points in his two season, playing as a 16 and 17 year old. His eight goals in the 1981 Memorial Cup tournament has never been broken. And he is the fourth highest NHL scoring QMJHL grad, behind Mario Lemieux, Raymond Bourque and his former teammate, Doug Gilmour. • Eugene Melnyk’s lapdog Pierre Dorion told the Ottawa Citizen that he owes it to the organization, fans and players to make sure that the best available coach is hired to replace Guy Boucher.

Oh my, how times have changed when it comes to the direction the moral compass points.

In April 1975 after getting wind of a Sunday morning meeting held at the old Cornwall Township office on Cornwall Centre Road, the Stormont Christian Council fired off a letter that warned the township politicians that they had strayed off the path of righteousness.

The two-page letter to council, which was made public, said that if council members considered themselves to be a Christian body, “you have a duty to encourage Christian practices.” And that, said the clergymen, was not accomplished by holding meetings on the Sabbath when folks should be in a house of worship.

If Sunday morning meetings were not stopped, the clergymen warned that their actions would be “well remembered from a strictly political point of view.” Translated: Expect to be rebuked from the pulpit at election time.

Today that kind of threat from the clergy would draw, at best, a yawn.

This was a time when Ontario’s ‘Blue Laws” held sway, when a Toronto store owner was jailed because he kept his shop open on Sunday and showing movies and playing sports on the Sabbath were relatively new.

Not until June 3, 1992, after the Bob Rae government bowed to public pressure, would Sunday shopping become legal.

Of the clergy’s letter and the nudgenudge, wink-wink kind of election-time threat, Coun. Bill Fenton said it wasn’t worth a response (by council).

Reeve Lorne Wheeler told he media he had written a response to the Christian Council but refused to make it public.

Deputy Reeve John Cleary noted that council had never met on Sunday mornings and he could only recall two committee meetings being held on a Sunday morning.

In the end, the politicians and clergy kissed and made up with an agreement that Sunday meetings would not compete with church services.

As Shakespeare said, “Much ado about nothing.”

THIS WEEK 1975: Police Chief Earl Landry reported that crime in 1974 was up in almost every category: Assaults 9.81%, robberies 36.9%, break-and-enters 36.9%.

The department’s traffic unit investigated 2,295 collisions. The chief said more officers were needed to help fight the rising crime stats. The department was operating with 61 officers - uniform and non-uniform down from 65. He noted that running the new station required five more officers which reduced the number available for patrols which sometimes were down to three or four officers. • Development Commissioner Charles Adams told the local media that he had not decided on a course of action after Ald. Gerald Samson Sr. refused to apology

Students learn resiliency at youth symposium PHARMACY

Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Students of St. Lawrence Secondary School (SLSS) received words of encouragement from local author and motivational speaker, Melanie Willard, on Wednesday, April 10.

Willard’s discussion was part of the annual youth symposium, hosted by Cornwall Police Services, in partnership with local school boards and the Eastern Ontario Training Board (EOTB).

“Every year, Cornwall Police host the youth symposium where we hire a motivational speaker to attend all (local) high schools to give motivational speeches in relation to resilience and how to bounce back. This year is no different, and we have Melanie Willard with us today,” said Cst. Dan Cloutier.

The symposium kicked off on April 8 with a workshop geared to local professionals who interact with youth on a regular basis. The workshop included presentations from the Eastern

Ontario Health Unit (EOHU), the Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH), and Cornwall Police Service (CPS), with topics spanning cannabis, vaping and youth mental health.

According to Cst. Cloutier, students of CCVS, SLSS, École secondaire publique L’Héritage and École secondaire catholique La Citadelle would be taking part in the symposium this year, but unfortunately St. Joseph’s Catholic Secondary School and Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School students would not be due to transportation cancellation and freezing rain.

“I think it’s our duty that the public, especially our youth, have a chance to grow in safety and security, and have a better outlook on life,” said Cst. Cloutier. “I think it’s important that students always learn from their own mistakes because sometimes when you make a mistake it is hard to bounce back from (it). So in this case here, they get to learn from (Willard’s examples of) mistakes, and she’s going to give them coping skills on how to bounce back.”

Willard, of Alexandria, encouraged students

to be resilient and break the stigma and silence attached to suffering. She has overcome many life threatening battles, including cancer, anorPHARMACY PHARMACIEgenerexia, domestic violence and addictions, ating novels about her ability to overcome personal challenges. Willard greeted her audience with a Rocky inspired tribute.

“I know you are a sensitive generation,” Willard said to students. “I want you to use that and have a powerful force in the world and to not let it play against you.”

Willard discussed coping skills and productive thinking pertaining to topics like bullying, body image and comparison in the digital landscape.

“Greatness is about how you care for the person beside you,” she said, implying it doesn’t matter how many social media followers you may have.

thinc design currates thoughts on waterfront Shawna O’Neill

on the 12 that are the most important to them.” thinc design has been contracted by the City of Cornwall to update the City’s Waterfront Plan and has recently held two public outreach sessions to gauge thoughts on future development possibilities. thinc has divided the waterfront into five areas of focus: Guindon Park, Canal Lands, Lamoureux Park, Harbor to College and East Front.

“We got a lot of good feedback. We heard from a lot of different people…we got a really good sense of what is important to people in Cornwall and that’s the key thing,” said Tocher. “I think what we’ve heard from the public so far is that people want to see a protected waterfront that is publicly accessible, that sort of thing. So,

shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Community members had the opportunity to share their thoughts and place a sticker on 12 of their favourite waterfront design proposals today at Cornwall Civic Complex between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., and 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.

“Today is all about what we have heard and what we are recommending,” said Mike Tocher, partner with thinc design. “We have 77 recommendations and we want to know what the public thinks of those 77. So, there’s panels explaining those in further detail…and we are giving everyone the opportunity to place a dot

all of these recommendations are keeping in mind with that.”

Tocher believes some areas of the waterfront would be suitable for development, but he thinks these spaces would not block off public access. He doesn’t believe anything too controversial has been proposed and is reminding the public that regardless of what is chosen to be developed, it may not come to fruition for a number of years.

“This plan gets revisited after 10 (years). So if something is (planned for) 25 years out, it’s going to be looked at at least two more times under this process, but we don’t want to lose any (recommendations) along the way,” said Tocher.

The main concern brought forward to Tocher so far is the destruction of ball diamonds along the waterfront.

“I think there’s a real opportunity in the future for the ball fields to have a complex that is state of the art. Somewhere you can have tournaments. Right now, what’s there couldn’t host tournaments and I don’t know if it could ever be configured in a way that could,” he said.

Tocher believes that some objections are short term as in 20 years from now it will be hard to predict what the concerns of residents are and what is developing in the city.

SOUTH STORMONT news

Volunteer of the Year Shawna O’Neill

shawna.oneill@tc.tc

SOUTH STORMONT, Ontario – Nearly 140 invited guests enjoyed a ‘Night in Morocco’ themed Volunteer Appreciation Gala at South Stormont Community Hall on Friday, April 12.

“This gala is an opportunity for Council to express the appreciation for all the volunteer efforts that every one of these organizations provide to our community,” said South Stormont Mayor Bryan McGillis, in a press release. “We can only say thank you and hope that they will continue to do the work that they do for many more years. We understand that many of our residents rely on their efforts.”

Each guest represented one of 22 separate volunteer organizations that service residents who live in South Stormont.

Community member Kenneth (Ken) McDonald was recognized as the 2018 recipient of the Fran Laflamme Award as South Stormont Volunteer of the Year.

sunset Drive Re-alignment Partial Road Closure Sunset Drive has been re-aligned creating a safer intersection where it intersects with Moulinette Island Causeway. This was done as part of construction already taking place on Moulinette Island. As a result, Parts 1, 2 and 3 on 52R-8201 are no longer necessary as part of the Township’s road network and therefore, it is appropriate to close and sell properties to adjacent landowners.

Pursuant to the Township’s Policy to Close and Sell a Road, Council of the Township of South Stormont will declare the following as surplus and hereby gives notice of their intention to permanently close the following: • Parts 1, 2 and 3 on Reference Plan 52R-8201, Part of Plan 294, Part of PIN 60223-0161, geographic Township of Cornwall, Township of South Stormont, County of Stormont.

Should you wish to make a submission, either in favour of or in opposition please forward comments to the Director of Corporate Services/Clerk at PO Box 84, Long Sault, ON K0C 1P0 or via email at loriann@southstormont.ca prior to May 1, 2019. Following consideration of comments received, Council will consider the necessary by-law on May 8, 2019 or on a subsequent meeting date to permanently close the aforementioned road allowance.

FINCH, Ontario - La Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) a publié son rapport annuel 2018, disponible en ligne et au siège social de l’Office de protection de la nature à Finch.

Ce document sommaire publié annuellement en français et en anglais présente les programmes, les services et les réalisations de la CNS au cours de l’année précédente.

Le rapport annuel fournit également aux résidents locaux et aux partenaires des 4 384 km2 du territoire de compétence de la CNS dans l’Est de l’Ontario des mises à jour sur les projets communautaires, les statistiques sur la plantation d’arbres, les 14 aires de conservation à utilisation diurne de la CNS, la foresterie et les initiatives d’intendance.

POUR DE PLUS AMPLES RENSEIGNEMENTS : La version électronique du Rapport annuel « L’année dernière a été marquée par de nouvelles réalisations et de nouveaux jalons 2018 de la CNS est disponible à l’adresse suiva- Taylor Campbell, spécialiste des communicapour la CNS, qui sont fièrement décrits dans nte : www.nation.on.ca/fr/ressources/publica- tions de la CNS, 1-877-984-2948, poste 296, tcampbell@nation.on.ca. notre rapport annuel 2018 », a expliqué Angela tions/rapports-annuels Coleman, directrice générale de la CNS. « Ce rapport est un excellent moyen de partager l’information avec les résidents de nos 16 municipalités membres au sujet du travail que nous faisons dans leurs collectivités pour protéger les personnes, les biens et l’environnement. » Bill Smirle, président du conseil d’administration de la CNS, a précisé : « Le succès annuel est dû au dévouement et à l’engagement de notre conseil d’administration L’école élémentaire publique et l’école secondaire publique et de notre personnel, ainsi qu’aux partenariats locaux de longue date qui nous ont permis de protéger et d’améliorer l’environnement local ».

Communiqué de presse de la CNS

Rappel du BSEO aux résidents de vérifier que leur vaccin contre la rougeole est à jour Communiqué de presse de le BSEO Ontario - Étant donné les cas de rougeole dans l’Ouest du Canada et des États-Unis, le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario (BSEO) rappelle aux membres du public de vérifier que la vaccination contre la rougeole de leurs enfants et la leur, soit courante. Bien qu’il n’y ait pas eu de cas de rougeole récemment dans la localité, ni de cas confirmés à ce jour, le BSEO continue de surveiller la situation dans l’Est ontarien.

Dr Paul Roumeliotis, Médecin hygiéniste du BSEO, incite les résidents à maintenir à jour leurs vaccinations non seulement pour se protéger eux-mêmes, mais aussi pour protéger les gens qui ne peuvent pas être vaccinés, y

compris les nourrissons. « La rougeole est extrêmement contagieuse et peut être très grave pour les personnes qui ne sont pas vaccinées », dit-il. « Elle peut être particulièrement dangereuse pour les bébés qui sont trop jeunes pour recevoir le vaccin ainsi que pour les adultes dont le système immunitaire est affaibli. » Il poursuit en disant que le vaccin est un moyen sûr et efficace pour empêcher d’attraper et de propager la rougeole.

Le vaccin contre la rougeole est administré gratuitement par votre fournisseur des soins de santé. Il est aussi disponible sur rendez-vous au BSEO en appelant au 613-933-1375 ou au 1 800 267-7120. Pour de plus amples renseignements sur la rougeole et son vaccin, allez à www. ontario.ca/rougeole.

Créativité, collaboration, exploration et beaucoup de plaisir Communiqué de presse de la CSDCEO

dans une si grande aventure et ce depuis le tout début de l’arrivée du baccalauréat international dans notre école.

Nous te remercions Mme Manon d’avoir été notre exemple de leadership depuis les … dernières années. Tu nous manqueras!

Nous avons appris lors de l’Expo que le leadership se partage, qu’il faut être entourés pour le démontrer et que nous devons donner le goût aux gens autour de nous de sourire et de nous imiter, Mme Manon est un exemple de tout cela! Félicitations à tous les élèves de 6e année, aux mentors, aux enseignantes, directions et surtout à Mme Manon!

SPEC3428792

Le jeudi 11 avril dernier, l’école Rose des Vents regorgeait de leaders. En effet, lors de l’événement de l’Expo IB (baccalauréat international), les élèves des 3 classes de la 6e année présentaient le résultat de leur recherche sur le thème du leadership. L’école Rose des Vents étant une école internationale accréditée, il est de mise que les élèves de la 6e année doivent faire une recherche qui s’étend pendant plusieurs mois sur un sujet qui varie d’une année à l’autre.

Le thème de la recherche prend sa source dans un thème transdisciplinaire et cette année le thème transdisciplinaire était “Qui nous sommes”. Lorsque les membres du comité IB se sont rencontrés en septembre dernier, ils ont décidé du sujet de la recherche de cette année à partir de ce thème transdisciplinaire. Le leadership sous toutes ses facettes est ressorti comme étant un sujet à exploiter cette année. Suite à la visite d’Étienne Boulay (élément déclencheur du projet), les élèves de 6e année ont été répartis en différentes équipes ayant toutes une piste reliée au sujet comme par exemple: les qualités d’un leader, les exemples de leadership, les rôles d’un leader, les personnalités d’un leader…

Tout au long de leur projet, les élèves sont accompagnés de mentors qui les guident et les encouragent lors de rencontres qui s’effectuent aux 2 semaines. Ces mentors sont des directions d’école, des enseignants de l’école, des étudiants de notre école “soeur” l’Héritage, des parents…

Il ne faut pas oublier nos enseignantes de 6e année qui supervisent et guident aussi leurs élèves tout au long du projet. Cette année, comme lors des années précédentes, une richesse de présentations fut offerte à tous les gens qui sont venus nous visiter lors de cet événement. Il y avait même une équipe qui mettait en vedette notre chère Mélissa Ouimet, chanteuse Franco-Ontarienne très populaire. Mme Bernadette Clément, mairesse de Cornwall, a offert une entrevue très pertinente à l’une des équipes au sujet de son propre rôle de leader. Une équipe a eu la belle surprise de recevoir une lettre du Premier ministre, M. Justin Trudeau, alors qu’ils le questionnaient au sujet de son rôle de leader.

Cette année, notre grande leader et coordonnatrice IB depuis l’entrée de notre école dans le monde du baccalauréat international, Mme Manon Bellemare, prendra sa retraite au mois de juin. C’est une grande leader qui a su mener d’une main de maître tous les défis que représentent diriger une grande équipe comme l’école Rose des Vents

CORNWALL, Ontario - Le 30 mars dernier, l’École élémentaire catholique MarieTanguay de Cornwall, en partenariat avec le Centre de ressources familiales de l’Estrie, a offert une activité pour les enfants de la région de Cornwall et leurs parents.

Le Bric à Brac offre un environnement rempli de matériaux polyvalents qui encouragent les enfants à développer leur plein potentiel tout en s’amusant avec leur parent! Nous tenons à remercier les familles qui ont participé à l’activité.

C’était un plaisir d’accueillir une cinquantaine de familles à l’école samedi dernier. Un beau mélange de famille dont les enfants fréquentent présentement notre

école, des élèves inscrits à la maternelle pour l’an prochain ainsi que d’autres familles de la communauté sont venus. Un événement comme celui-ci permet de rassembler notre belle communauté! Il faut souligner que la créativité des enfants était très impressionnante! Ce fût un franc succès!

Tel que le dit si bien sa mission, l’École élémentaire catholique Marie-Tanguay de Cornwall assure une éducation de qualité visant la réussite des élèves de la maternelle à la 6e année, le tout coordonné par une équipe d’experts en éducation. En juin 2018, l’école a reçu la certification provinciale ÉcoÉcoles pour son engagement au niveau environnemental.

BIG PEOPLE WORDS

A group of kindergartners were trying very hard to become accustomed to the first grade.

The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted on NO baby talk! You need to use ‘Big People’ words,’ she was always reminding them.

She asked John what he had done over the weekend?

‘I went to visit my Nana’.

No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER. Use ‘Big People’ words!’

She then asked Mitchell what he had done ‘I took a ride on a choo-choo’.

She said. ‘No, you took a ride on a TRAIN. You must remember to use ‘Big People’ words’.

She then asked little Alex what he had done?

‘I read a book’ he replied.

That’s WONDERFUL!’ the teacher said.

‘What book did you read?’

Alex thought real hard about it, then puffed out his chest with great pride, and said, ‘Winnie the SH*T’

Rev. Ian MacMillan opened the Season of Lent with his sermon at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on April 10. It was followed by a noon luncheon.

Shar’s Tip of the Week Deep cleaning is that thorough cleaning we do annually, or semiannually. It’s when we move everything and clean under, behind, and everywhere. Of course, if you clean as you go, which is easier on you and what your’re cleaning, deep cleaning will be much less necessary. If you use heavy-duty cleaners, keep in mind they can soften or damage pint, metals, and some plastics when used straight or left on the surface too long.
