Kashechewan evacuees not coming to Cornwall Nick Seebruch

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Despite recent media reports that evacuees from the Kashechewan First Nation would be possibly coming to Cornwall’s Nav Centre, Seaway News has confirmed that this is not the case.

“It has been decided that we will not be hosting at this time,” wrote Kim Coe-Turner, General Manager of the Nav Centre in an email to Seaway News.

The 2,500 residents of the Northern Ontario

community are evacuated annually due to flooding in their region.

According to the federal government, they will be taken to nearby communities such as Timmins, Kapuskasing and Thunder Bay. Cornwall was originally included in that list, but it now appears that it is unlikely any evacuees will be coming to Cornwall.

Evacuees from Kashechewan First Nation were last brought to the Nav Centre in Cornwall in May 2016.

LONG SAULT, Ontario – Even with the rain the Easter Bunny was busy in Long Sault on Saturday, April 20, 2019.

The Long Sault, Ingleside, and Lost Villages Lions Club organized their third annual Easter Egg Hunt, and in addition to meeting the Easter Bunny, there were also eggs for children to find, egg and spoon races, candy to win and more.

Taking place at the South Stormont Township Hall, there were eggs hidden around

the building. For $5 children were given a chance to participate in the hunt, the games and got a hot dog or hamburger.

The money raised went to support Lions Club projects in the South Stormont community.

“We love kids and doing a lot of fun things for children,” said Sharon Potvin, Lions Club President.

The event ran from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and by lunch 100 kids had already participated in the hunt.

Cornwall needs a youth retention strategy shawna.oneill@tc.tc

Aspiring 20-somethings who grew up locally, especially recent graduates of post-secondary education, are leaving or not returning to the region and I can’t blame them.

I feel that organizations within our community need to be more cognisant of the implications of losing ambitious youth and ask themselves why this is happening and what they can do to prevent this. More importantly, they should be directly asking local youth what would make this area more attractive to them and why. An overarching youth retention strategy would be very beneficial to this region. In this context, I am referring to youth as individuals aged about 18 to 29.

My close local friends have joked about

Cornwall, its lack of inspiration and its complacency with being unabashedly ordinary.

Recognizing outdated local infrastructure and ideas, partnered with a general lack of desire to change or progress has led us to dub our hometown as ‘the purgatory’ on a few occasions. For example, Cornwall recently placed one spot shy of dead last out of 125 entrepreneurial cities in Canada. This bleak outlook is not because, as some might argue, Cornwall was recently voted the seventh best retirement city in Canada, or because our area clings to its history and traditions, as I consider these admirable qualities.

This is because Cornwall lacks (the right) employment opportunities, higher education options, as well as youth and social engagement.

Sociological studies often attribute petty crime in communities like Cornwall to a lack of social opportunities or “nothing to do on Saturday nights.” Ironically, when I look at the daily police blotter, the most common demographic involved in local crime is individuals in their 20s on the weekends. This could relate to

deeper generational and economic problems unique to our area entirely, with statistics placing Cornwall high up for the most sexual assaults in Canada. But there is undoubtedly a divide among the adult and youth population in terms of social engagement opportunities in our region. I feel that organizations, business owners and event hosts need to improve their marketing to reach, appeal and better inform younger audiences about local initiatives. Accounting for what could interest youth socially could foster a deeper sense of community and feeling of productive involvement among their population, which in turn could blossom into greater opportunities for our area. Additionally, recruiting businesses geared directly to young adults, or developing a youth social council, could see many rewards in our community.

Cornwall arguably prides itself on having a number of job opportunities in the warehouse and manufacturing market, however these job types do not always align with the job aspirations of young individuals. Recent

Cornwall Transit announces new tickets, app Shawna O’Neill

shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Changes to our local transit system will soon reflect recommendations made in the Transit Master Plan, including implementing a real-time tracking app, reducing fare mediums and being compliant with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. “Cornwall Transit is confident that these

changes will improve riders’ experience,” said Len Tapp, City Transit Division Manager. “We’re excited to launch the Way to Go app later this spring.

Transit riders have asked for this service, and we’re pleased to deliver it.”

The Way to Go app, which will soon be available on Cornwall Transit’s website and for smart phone download, will display busses through an AVL (Automatic Vehicle Locator). Anyone who is interested in being informed about the app as

soon as it becomes available is asked to email emma.meldrum@cornwall.ca for a notification.

Additionally, as of May 1, bus passes and tickets will become standardized, and the same ticket can be used for the community bus route, regular bus route as well as Handi-Transit route.

Previously purchased Handi-Transit tickets will not expire and can be used on other transit services.

On May 1, the following prices will come into

youth retention studies conducted in similar communities across the province suggest that young graduates often struggle to find jobs in their hometown that fit their education or offer room for career growth. So, consequently, many of my generation migrate to a more metropolitan cities, whether out of employment necessity or blatant desire for more opportunity.

Additionally, Cornwall does not have a university. Although we do have St. Lawrence College (SLC) and the recent development of the Ontario Emerging Jobs Institute (OEJI), which offers post-secondary courses, the lack of university level opportunities may negatively affect career and personal advancement options, an overall desired lifestyle among youth and increased entrepreneurial perspectives or inspirations.

I think Cornwall needs to strive to be more hip, attractive to tourists and locals alike and invest in itself by increasingly investing in the desires of aspiring young adults.

Walking Dead, Degrassi High stars at CAPE Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – The 2019 Cornwall and Area Pop Event (CAPE) is less than a month away, and Co-Founder Randy Sauve, owner of Fantasy Realm, is hoping to see over 6,000 attendees throughout the weekend-long event.

“It’s just a gathering of pop culture and everything geeky all in one place,” said Sauve. “We feel very strongly, with the group of people we have coming vendor wise and celebrity guest wise, that there will hopefully be a lot of tourism involved.

They’re celebrities and characters that you might not necessarily see at other shows on a regular basis, so for some people, this may be your only opportunity to see them.”

On Saturday, April 27, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., guests 13-years-old and up can enter the event for $18 (early bird ticket price) at the Benson Centre, where they can enjoy a variety of vendors, cosplay and a panel of celebrity guests. On Sunday, April

Superheroes are sighted at CAPE.

28, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., guests can enter the venue for $12 (early bird ticket price). Children 12-years-old and under can enter for free both days. “We encourage a lot of families, and especially children, to come to the show…For a 4, 5, 6-year-old to meet Spider-Man or Batman, that’s probably more exciting to them than meeting Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny. So, the kids bring a lot of energy to these shows and it makes for a lot of fun,” said Sauve.

Sauve said CAPE is like traditional comic con events, but encompasses a wider range of pop culture and ‘fandoms’. He explained the majority of the event is superhero based, with a lot of anime fans, every range of pop culture, old T.V. shows, movies, etc. Sauve said that his wife, Carol, encouraged him to start a CAPE event with her after they had attended different comic cons in North America. Although he was initially hesitant, he said that CAPE has been a success in Cornwall since it started in 2015.

“I think it’s an outlet (people in the area) need.

Before we brought CAPE to Cornwall, I think it was something a lot of people read about…there’s maybe not a lot of people in Cornwall who have had the opportunity to travel to another convention, or be able to afford another convention, so CAPE is geared to be family affordable and it’s right in everybody’s back yard,” said Sauve.

This year’s event will feature Pat Mastroianni, Stacy Mistysyn and Stefan Brogren of Degrassi High, Lew Temple of Halloween and Walking Dead, Scout Taylor-Compton of Halloween, and

authors Jack Briglio and J. Torres.

Tickets are already sold out to a special, V.I.P. Degrassi High detention pizza party that will take place between noon and 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 27. “We are inviting the community to come out and support CAPE. We think it’s a fun event for anyone to come check it out for the first time. If you’re a fan of anything geeky, this is the place to be,” said Sauve.

Early bird tickets can be purchased at Fantasy Realm until the day of CAPE.

CORNWALL, Ontario – In their first budget as a government, the Progressive Conservatives lead by Doug Ford have proposed merging health units in the province of Ontario.

Currently there are 35 Public Health Units across the province, but the government’s pro-

posals would see that number reduced to 10.

“Municipalities who share in our budget will be concerned and rightly so because they may have less of a say,” said Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, the Medical Officer of Health for the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU). “The services will be diluted. We are worried we are going to lose the voice of the regions we represent.”

Dr. Roumeliotis said that rural areas like

WILLIAMSTOWN, Ontario – The third Bishop’s House Gala Dinner celebrated the historical building in South Glengarry on Saturday, April 13, with a packed crowd of inspired and reminiscing attendees.

“We did well last year, and we decided that it was worthy of another. We have sold more tickets than ever…so I’m pleased,” said Brenda Baxter, event organizer.

For a ticket of $85, guests could enjoy cocktails, dinner and conversation throughout the evening at the Char-Lan Recreation Centre. Speeches were made sharing memories of the building, and Archivist Allan MacDonald took guests on a trip through time, highlighting the various purposes of the building since its creation in 1808. A live auction also took place later in the evening.

During the evening, Lloyd and Marie Barbara of Toronto stepped forward to donate $10,000 towards the event. Another anonymous donor honoured to match the value earned of each and every auction item sold.

“We were able to raise, before doubling, $3,420 (with the auction)…so the auction therefore earned $6,840. It was a wonderful

Sean Mullin in his Glengarry Light Fencibles uniform (Shawna O’Neill/TC Media). evening,” said Baxter.

“Our theme for the evening is memories of Iona,” explained Baxter, as the building housed the renowned Iona Academy in 1924.

In 2015, the Glengarry Fencibles Trust acquired the Bishop’s House, and in 2016, the Trust had raised $100,000 for a cost-sharing grant with Parks Canada to restore buildings

on national historic sites. In 2017, the restoration process began with installing a new roof.

According to Baxter, proceeds raised from the Gala will go towards various restoration projects within the building, specifically window work. Baxter was thrilled with everyone who attended and donated.

Roundabout considered for South Glengarry Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

WILLIAMSTOWN, Ontario – The Township of South Glengarry is considering installing it’s first roundabout.

The intersection currently under consideration is the Kraft Rd. and Glen Rd. intersection, which currently has a split lane with a yield sign right before a bridge.

Ewen MacDonald, General Manager of Infrastructure for the Township of South Glengarry said that there have been concerns around this intersection.

“With the yield at the intersection, people have been getting confused and we’re looking at ways to improve the configuration,” he said.

The current configuration of the Kraft Rd. and Glen Rd. intersection in South Glengarry. Image from Google Maps.

MacDonald said that he will be meeting with consultants to determine the best way forward and will present a report to council.

He explained that the current configuration of the intersection was made when the old Williamstown Kraft plant was built and was designed to accommodate the milk trucks that went in and out of the site.

South Glengarry Council had previously set aside $50,000 for paving part of Kraft Rd. in 2019 and any research into this roundabout proposal will be drawn from that money.

Deputy Mayor Lyle Warden said that a roundabout in that intersection would make sense.

“I think it’s a great idea,” he said. “Currently,

the configuration of that intersection is dangerous.”

Warden added the caveat that before any change was made, that the cost should not be too exorbitant.

Currently, there are no roundabouts in the Township of South Glengarry.

“It is our first adventure into the world of roundabouts and we’ll see how it goes,” said MacDonald.

Warden feels that with a little public education, the transition to a roundabout would be smooth.

“I think a little public education will go a long way,” he said. “As soon as you know how to use a roundabout it is as easy as pie.”

City error leads to campaign contribution confusion Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Mayor Bernadette Clement acknowledged on her social media on Wednesday, April 17, that according to new rules within the Municipal Elections Act, she had exceeded a prescribed, personal contribution amount to her own Mayoral campaign by $4,153.80.

The rule, introduced by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in 2018, outlines that certificates must be issued to candidates stating their maximum contribution amounts allowed. Chief Administrative Officer Maureen Adams confirmed that it is the responsibility of the municipality to define the expense limit of overall campaign expenditures, as well as an expense limit of candidates’ personal contributions, calculated through Municipal Elections Act rules. Adams also confirmed that it is the municipality’s responsibility to issue certificates detailing this information.

“My campaign believed that my maximum personal contribution amount was $25,000.

Accordingly, I contributed $18,357 to my campaign…” reads a statement on Mayor Clement’s Facebook page. “On April 8, I was advised by the City’s Chief Administrative Officer that according to their understanding, my personal contribution amount would be $14,203.20; which meant I would have exceeded my personal contribution amount by $4,153.80. The following day, April 9, I emailed the Clerk’s office to acknowledge that I had been made aware of the potential over contribution and outlined my understanding of the circumstances.”

“One (certificate) for personal (contributions) was not issued (to Mayor Clement). The error is on the City’s part and the City acknowledges this,” said Adams.

According to section 92 subsection (1)(a) of the the Municipal Elections Act, a candidate found guilty of an offence and conviction, who incurs expenses that exceed the amount determined for the office under section 88.20, is subject to penalties in subsection 88.23 (2). These penalties include that the candidate in question forfeits any office to which they were elected, that the office is deemed vacant, and until

the next regular election takes place, the candidate is ineligible to be elected or appointed to any office in which the Act applies. Additionally, the candidate may be liable to a fine equal to the excess as outlined in section 92 subsection (3).

Section 92 subsection (2) of the Act also states that an exception to the rule is made if the candidate has acted in good faith, inadvertently committing the offence or having an error in judgment. In this case, the penalties described in subsection 88.23 (2) do not apply.

According to Adams, if an elector comes forward with a complaint, it will be reviewed by a Compliance Audit Committee.

“I recognize that these rules are new and that this may have resulted in some confusion as to the process. I believe that any potential errors were inadvertent and quite likely the result of having to manage new rules within the context of a busy election season. I share this information with you…because I remain committed to being transparent. I will keep you updated on any developments,” read the statement on Mayor Clement’s Facebook page.

Spring is here and there’s lots to do Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

I’ve said it before, but it is worth saying again as we enter the busy weekend events season; there is always something going on in Cornwall and SD&G. I still see people asking frequently on social media, what is there to do in Cornwall on the weekend? Well this weekend, many will be lucky to find enough time to do everything.

In the lead up to the weekend will see the United Way holding their annual Handbags for Heroes event at the Cornwall Civic Complex on Thursday. This annual auction generates a lot of support for worthy causes in the community.

Starting on Friday is the annual Quilts of the Seaway event at St. John’s Presbyterian Church. This show isn’t just for quilt enthusiasts, but for history lovers as well, as dozens of quilts with fascinating stories are brought

out and put on display for a weekend.

Happening on Saturday, to celebrate Earth Day, the Raisin Region Conservation Authority is giving out 2,000 trees at Gray’s Creek. This is a great way to support the environment and add some beautiful green to your yard.

Saturday morning will be busy for those of us who are active and love the outdoors because the St. Lawrence Marathon is also happening Saturday morning. Formerly known as the Marathon to End MS, the St. Lawrence Marathon is recognized as a qualifying event for bigger marathons like Boston and New York.

One of the biggest local events of the year is also taking place this weekend, the Cornwall & Area Pop Event (CAPE) is a festival celebrating comic books, movies, superheroes, video games cosplayers and more.

Founded and organized by Randy and Carol Sauve of Fantasy Realm, CAPE celebrates all sorts of fandoms and attracts hundreds of guests from around the region. Taking place at

the Benson Centre all weekend long, CAPE generates good times for the Cornwall region.

We have entered the weekend events season. From here until the end of the summer, there will be a lot to do. Check out the Community Events and Scuttlebutt sections of

Seaway News for more information going on in the area.

Service clubs helped a record number of families with food baskets!

CORNWALL Gloomy economic situation has convinced the Children’s Christmas Fund to help a record number of needy families in the Cornwall area this year.

“We helped around 930 families this year,” said Peter Morgan, chair of the fund sponsored by the Service Club Council of Cornwall and District.

A number of other families from the fund’s data base were helped by other community organizations.

The council is made up of 16 service clubs in Cornwall and the immediate area.

Last year, the Children’s Christmas Fund assisted 820 families and many other were helped by other organizations.

Morgan said the fund is hoping to raise $36,000 this year, same as last year.

More than 50 per cent of the objective is already in the bank. The bulk of the money comes from service clubs.

Over the years, the fund has been able to raise more than $800,000 and help 24,000 family units.

The fund will keep the books open until March 31, 2009.

Morgan, who completes his term in the spring, said a number of service club members, including those from Kinsmen, Kinettes, the Lancaster Optimist Club, the Catholic Women’s League and their spouses, helped in slicing and bagging 2,400 loaves for the food baskets.

They also helped prepare 940 bags of apples.

A number of service clubs members were also involved in distributing the food baskets.

The Kiwanis Club of Cornwall started distributing food to needy families in 1928.

As years progressed, many other clubs joined in distribution of food baskets.

The Children’s Christmas Fund was established in 1948.

In recent years, the Children’s Christmas Fund has joined hands with the Agape Centre to formulate a common list for distribution of food vouchers and food baskets.

This was done to avoid duplication.

Also some families were selling the food vouchers and sometimes using the vouchers for

non food products.

Since 1993, the Children’s Christmas Fund and the Agape Centre have been involved in distributing food and toys to needy families.

For the last six years, the Cornwall Armoury has been used as the distribution centre.

“Distribution of food remains a priority for service club members,” said Morgan.

Apart from the Children’s Christmas Fund, the service club council also sponsors and organizes the popular Santa Claus Parade.

Service Club Council serves the community Marvin Plumadore, president of the Service Club Council of Cornwall and District, says the council has been playing an important role in the community.

“The challenges we face are changing all the time,” he said. “We are becoming a more focused group.’’

Plumadore, a member of Branch 297 of the Royal Canadian Legion, will finish his term Feb. 18, 2009.

He will hand over the reins to the incoming president at the annual banquet of the council to be held at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall.

Branch 297 is the host for the banquet this year.

Plumadore said the council’s main purpose is to promote and serve their community.

“Nothing can be more rewarding than this,” he said of helping those who are less fortunate.

The president wishes all service club members and happy New Year.

Trivia Night a huge success The Trivia Night sponsored by the Cornwall Sunrise Rotary Club was able to raise $8,421.30 from the recent event.

“This event was a huge success,” said a club spokesman.

The main winner of this project was the Vagabond Theatre.

Rotary helps Agape Centre The Rotary International Foundation has agreed to a matching grant of $1,350 to assist the Agape Centre in Cornwall.

This was announced by the Cornwall Sunrise Rotary Club, which was successful in obtaining the matching grant.

The grant will be used in helping Agape Centre to purchase a hand fork lift.

OPINION

Finding justice in the justice system Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@cornwallseawaynews.com

Sometimes the last place victims of crime can find justice is in, of all places, the justice system.

They come away from the drawn-out, excruciating experience feeling that the system is rigged ... in favour of the accused/convicted.

Take the case of the Ottawa family of a cyclist run down in 2015 by the driver of a pickup who fled the scene, leaving the cyclist to die on the side of the road. When police tracked him down, he engaged in a cover-up and came up with the story that he didn’t know he had hit the cyclist, who was thrown 60 feet. He also claimed that at the wedding party he was returning from he had just one glass of wine.

The judge bought the I-didn’t-know-I-hit-him story, as the saying goes, hook, line and sinker.

Not guilty of dangerous driving causing death.

The accused did plead guilty to obstruction of justice. But he came up with a real doozer.

While he testified that he didn’t realize he had hit a cyclist (who was thrown 60 feet) he told the judge that he went to great lengths to cover his tracks because he considered (white) Ottawa police officers to be racists, and he feared what they might do to him. He produced no evidence that over the years he had been mistreated by white police officers.

In one of those “What-the-....” moments, the judge accepted the racist cops defence. She also highlighted his deep remorse (in court) for

his actions. A mea culpa is standard procedure before sentencing. The remorse thinger is usually pulled out of the hat after a guilty verdict. An accused feels so sorry for those he hurt that he pleaded not guilty and put them through a trial.

So, in this case, no jail time. Instead, the judge slapped him with 100 hours of community service.

The judge was so far out in left field on the racism defence that an upset Ottawa Police Chief Charles Bordeleau took the unusual step of criticizing her comments vis-a-vie the blanket racism card played by the defence.

The victim’s family was outraged. Who can blame them.

Meanwhile, defence lawyers have a new tool in the tool box: My client is afraid of white racist cops. All they need is a liberal judge who will go for the bait.

THERE AND THERE Here is an interesting statistic: countries with the highest standard of living have the highest household debt. What’s that called? Something about living beyond one’s means. ... Every time Donald Trump opens his mouth the smarter George W. Bush becomes. Dubya is becoming a genius. ... So much for Kate Smith’s version of “God Bless America” used to fire up Philadelphia Flyers’ fans. Old film footage (circa 1930s) shows Smith singing a couple of tunes with racist lines. With this coming to light, the Flyers have mothballed Kate’s version as have the New York Yankees. More will follow. Just a matter of time until “Amazing Grace” gets chopped. It was written by English slave trader Capt. John Newton who delivered thousands of Africans to America to be used as slaves, albeit he wrote the

popular hymn after turning around his life. Never the less, he had blood of innocents - men, women and children - on his hands.

THIS AND THAT Note to The Donald: Might be time for a wall on the Canadian border. U.S. border security officers arrested seven Mexican citizens near Fort Covington last week after they crossed the St. Lawrence River from the Summerstown area. ... You know things are going downhill for Trudeau the Younger when pro-Liberal columnist Warren Kinsella pens a piece with the headline “Trudeau has ruined Liberal brand in the West”. Trudeau the Elder just took another roll in the grave.

THIS WEEK CIRCA 1960 The Ives Bedding Co. building at Eighth and Sydney streets (site of Farm Boy) was being torn down to make way for a new $150,000 A & P grocery store that would replace the store on Pitt Street south of Second Street. The bedding factory closed in 1955. ... The first Buster Brown shoes came off the Perth Shoe Co. assembly line in Alexandria. The new plant expected to employ 100 people. ... Massena nightspots and stores were taking Canadian money at 5% above par. ... The first CJSS Jamboree at the Water Street Arena featured Leo Motard and “The Millionaires” and Jerry Leger and the “Roving Cowboys”. Admission was 75 cents. ... Cornwall Drive-in at Tollgate Road and Pitt Street and the Starlite Drive-in on Purcell Road opened for the season. ... Paul’s IGA, 854 First St. E., had cross rib roast for 49 cents a pound. ... The Capitol Record Shop, 31-A Second St. W., had transistor radios on sale for $31.95. ... A 56-year-old city man drowned when his car plunged into the old Cornwall Canal at Lock 19

just east of the power dam.

TRIVIA ANSWER (April 10) Tagwi Secondary School in Avonmore took its name from the Algonquin word for meeting place. (April 17) Coun. Syd Gardiner was the New Democratic Party (NDP) candidate in the 1997 StormontDundas federal election.

TRIVIA This former alderman and mayor spent five years as CJSS Radio’s news editor and political analyst.

SPORTS STUFF When I think of former Cornwall Royals who showed up for every game, be it the friendly local arena or hostile ice pads in Trois-Rivieres, Shawinigan or Sorel, Cornwall Sports Hall of Famer Mike “Crusher” Conway comes to mind. ... That loud cheer heard in the Riverdale area on the night the Jackets eliminated the Bolts has been traced to the home of Dora and Arnold Grady. Their grandson, Scott Harrington, is a defenceman with the Blue Jackets.

FACTS’N’FIGURES In 1950 there were 37 cheese factories in Stormont County, most of them family operated. Two of them - May’s Fancy Cheese Factory and Gems Cheese Factory were in Cornwall. Avonmore had four cheese factories. Seven of the 37 Stormont factories were in villages wiped out by the big flood (aka St. Lawrence Seaway project).

QUOTABLE “I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant nor Jewish - where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from the Pope, the National Council of Churches or any other ecclesiastical source.’’

- President John Kennedy

Future of Raisin Region Centre in question Nick Seebruch

the building to the CDSBEO, but the school board has shown no interest in purchasing it.

Alternatively, the CDSBEO has also declined to sell any of its property surrounding the Raisin Region Centre to the Township.

Being unable to sell the building, this leaves the township with the option of renovating the building or demolishing it. The estimated cost of demolishing the building is around $700,000 according to Amelotte.

To renovate the building, the Township would try to apply for grants from upper levels of government, but in order to do so, they require a business plan for the future of the building, which is why they held the info session on Wednesday to crowd source ideas.

“In my heart I’d love to see it saved,” said Jim Brownell at the meeting. “My concern here is about the artifacts. In that building is one of the most valuable collections of photographic negatives in all of SD&G.” Other residents did not want to see taxpayers from the whole Township be burdened with the significant expense of restoring the Raisin Region Centre.

“We have to have some common sense for the taxpayers,” said Tammy Hart. “We need to

ST. ANDREWS WEST, Ontario – The Township of South Stormont invited residents to an information session at the fire hall in St. Andrews West on Wednesday, April 17 to discuss the future of the Raisin Region Centre.

Located next to the St. Andrew’s Catholic School, the Raisin Region Heritage Centre, itself is a former school that was built in 1908.

Currently owned by the Township of South Stormont, Township Director of Parks and Recreation detailed the current status of the building and some of the challenges it is facing.

The township states that to stabilize the first floor of the building, nearly $600,000 of renovations are required.

While the Township owns the building itself, it does not own any of the land surrounding the building, which is owned by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO). The CDSBEO even owns the easement that allows access to the building, which is used by the Cornwall Township Historical Society and the Township at the school board’s discretion.

The Township explored the option of selling

Brownell pointed out that the Glengarry Fencibles Trust in South Glengarry was raising funds to renovate the over 200-year-old Bishop’s House in St. Raphael’s and turn it into a museum and that maybe there might be some guidance or support there.

“Museums don’t make money, they lose money,” responded Hart.

All of the suggestions made by the public at the meeting were recorded by the Township for it to help consider it’s options.

Mayor Bryan McGillis stated that nothing was going to happen any time soon.

“We don’t have the money to renovate it without a grant and we don’t have the money to tear it down in the next two years,” he said.

SVW hits Cornwall with High Impact Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Seaway Valley Wrestling (SVW) held its third show in Cornwall on Saturday, April 20 at the Nav Centre.

The sold out house was treated to some intense athletic contests and exciting matches.

The show kicked off with a fatal-four-way elimination match That saw Lil’ Bray get eliminated first by Glengarry’s Own Ryan Donovan.

Bray did not take kindly to being bested by Donovan and interfered and gave him his receipt by ensuring that he was next eliminated from the match. It would not be the last time the audience would see these two tussle Saturday night.

Later in the night saw some high flying and hard hitting tag team action as the Double Dragons took on Leduc and Ronnan, Freak Nation and Sabotage in a fatal-four-way tag

team elimination match that saw that Double Dragons take the win after surviving and dishing out a lot of punishment.

Cornwall’s own Rex Orion had a little extra help in his corner as hometown hero and boxer Tony Luis was at ringside for Orion’s match with The Mighty Rukin. Rukin often powdered out of the ring and seemed reluctant to go toe to toe with Orion, but he got the upper hand after interference from his own corner man.

Rukin’s trainer involved himself in the match several times until Luis had enough and punched him to the ground. This gave Orion the window he needed to put away Rukin.

Later in the night the Immaculate Ray St. Jean and Randy Berry took on Big Daddy D-Roy and a mystery partner and the night ended with a hard hitting athletic fight between the Machine Byran Cage and the man born and bred for combat Stu Grayson.

Tony Luis stands tall with a victorious Rex Orion (Nick Seebruch/ TC Media).

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Optimist Club of Cornwall invited Logics Academy to help teach local educators about coding, and using robots in their classrooms on Wednesday, April 17, 2019.

Based in Markham, ON, Logics Academy had brought several kits of Dash robots, which are small toy robots with wheels that can be controlled from a smart device.

Michael Washburn of Logics Academy explained how these robots can be educational tools in the classroom.

Une histoire à raconter

Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

COMPTES UNIS de SD & G, Ontario -Dans une publication sur les médias sociaux le lundi 22 avril, la bibliothèque SD & G a annoncé qu’en raison des coupures dans le budget provincial, elle ne pourrait plus participer au service de prêt entre bibliothèques.

“Mauvaise nouvelle! En raison de la réduction du financement provincial, le service de prêts entre bibliothèques de l’Ontario a été annulé. À compter de maintenant, la bibliothèque SDG ne pourra plus accepter les demandes ILLO. Toutes les demandes en cours de traitement sont également annulées », lit le message publié sur les médias sociaux.

L’annulation du programme signifie que les utilisateurs de bibliothèques ne pourront plus

notre cour d’école. Après l’expérience que je venais de vivre, je tenais le diable par la queue.

Même si la sœur directrice, à maintes reprises, nous avait sévèrement interdit de jouer dans cette partie dangereuse du terrain, j’étais décidé d’aller rejoindre mes autres amis pour répéter l’exploit que je venais de vivre. J’étais insatiable dans ma curiosité et mes ambitions. « De tout temps les gourmands ont creusé leurs fosses à belles dents ». Dicton français À suivre Avis aux anciennes/anciens élèves de l’école primaire Ste-Croix, rue Anthony à Cornwall : des retrouvailles sont en train de s’organiser pour le 31 août 2019.

Venez raconter vos histoires!

Veuillez inscrire cette date à votre calendrier et propager la nouvelle.

Pour plus d’information veuillez communiquer avec Claire Ranger-Gosselin à stecroixprimaire@gmail.com OU sur Facebook à ‘’Retrouvailles 2019 école primaire Sainte Croix, Cornwall ON’’ Notice to former students of ‘’École primaire Ste-Croix’’, Anthony St. in Cornwall: a homecoming is being organized for August 31st 2019.

Come and tell your stories!

Please note the date on your calendar and help spread the news.

Savez-vous qu’un petit geste fait toute la différence?

Pendant la semaine du 15 au 18 avril, il était important pour l’école Rose des Vents de prendre du temps pour réfléchir et discuter sur différents sujets importants pour assurer la conservation de notre belle planète. À chaque jour de la semaine un mot clé était à l’honneur. À partir de ce mot, nous avions des discussions ou activités qui guidaient notre réflexion.

Le lundi nous a amené à penser au mot RÉDUIRE, lors du mardi c’était RÉUTILISER, mercredi on a discuté sur le mot RECYCLER et jeudi VALORISER. Chaque classe a discuté de ce que voulait dire ce mot après avoir visionné une vidéo sur le sujet durant l’émission de télé-radio du matin.

Les élèves sont aussi allés nettoyer la cour de l’école et la rue Anderson qui a d’ailleurs été adoptée par l’école Rose des Vents. La communauté de notre école pense aussi à la ville en prenant soin de cette rue.

Savez-vous que vous pouvez apporter vos stylos, crayons et marqueurs de plastique à notre école?

Nous avons une boîte pour les recueillir. Aussi, nous recueillons les petites piles qui ne fonctionnent plus. C’est une autre façon de venir en aide à notre communauté.

Les parents de notre école ont aussi été sollicités et conscientisés à répondre à un sondage sur les sujets environnementaux. Vous pouvez voir les résultats sur notre site Facebook de l’école qui regorge de renseignements et de faits captivants sur notre vie scolaire.

Vous savez peut-être que notre école a reçu une accréditation ISO ce qui veut dire qu’au quotidien nous posons des gestes et conscientisons nos élèves à l’importance d’agir aujourd’hui pour que notre planète soit encore là demain!

La bibliothèque SDG annonce l’annulation des prêts entre bibliothèques

toujours pleine d’eau ou boueuse. Pour nous permettre de profiter d’un raccourci, nous avions construit un petit pont qui la chevauchait, nous permettant ainsi de passer sans salir nos souliers. Nous avions utilisé des poutres de bois, des pièces de métal et des pierres pour le rendre solide et stable. Était-il toujours là? J’ai estimé sa situation approximative. Au lieu de procéder vers l’avant, j’ai fait une dizaine de pas vers ma droite. J’ai commencé à avancer très lentement en tâtant le fond, tout en examinant le haut de mes bottes en espérant que ma vision du pont et mes calculs étaient précis.

Tout à coup, j’ai senti quelque chose de dur et un peu soulevé. À ma grande surprise, c’était le pont. Il était intact! J’ai mis le pied sur sa surface lisse et je me suis soulevé de quelques pouces (quatre centimètres). Un sourire aux lèvres, j’ai jeté un coup d’œil du côté de mes amis. Ils étaient stupéfaits. Le tour était joué. Les cinq prochains pas me donneraient une victoire assurée. À chaque pas, je tâtais de chaque côté pour m’assurer de rester bel et bien sur ce petit pont mince et submergé. Lentement et assurément, je me suis rendu de l’autre côté de l’étang les pieds secs. J’ai été accueilli par mes amis qui examinaient, sous toutes les coutures, mes nouvelles bottes de caoutchouc.

Il restait encore plus de 20 minutes avant la cloche.

En marchant vers l’école, nous avons aperçu un autre groupe de garçons qui s’amusait dans l’étendue d’eau qui couvrait la partie nord de

école élémentaire publique demander de livres, de films ou d’autres documents à d’autres bibliothèques de l’Ontario.

Dans le premier budget présenté par le gouvernement Ford le 11 avril, le gouvernement Ford a annoncé une réduction de 50% des services de bibliothèque en Ontario.

Rose des Vents 1650, 2e Rue Est à Cornwall 613-932.4183

www.cornwallseawaynews.com - Cornwall Express - Le mercredi 24 avril, 2019 - 15

Pour le reste du weekend, j’ai consacré presque tout mon temps à examiner, tâtonner et polir mes nouvelles bottes de caoutchouc.

Sous les yeux souriants de Maman, je les avais essayées pour m’assurer que celles-ci me faisaient confortablement. Mes bottes de caoutchouc étaient parfaites. Dans ma chambre, assis à mon pupitre, je regardais dehors et J’anticipais les événements que lundi amènerait.

Ce beau matin tant attendu, je me suis levé à 7 h 30, beaucoup plus tôt que le sifflet à vapeur de Courtauld (le criard de la soie) qui se faisait entendre à 7 h 55. Par son timbre mécanique, cuivré et lointain, il annonçait aux ouvriers le début du « shift » de 8 à 5 ainsi que le réveil des enfants pour l’école. Je me suis empressé de me rendre à la salle de toilette bien avant mes sœurs. Cette pièce très importante de la maison pouvait être accaparée pendant de longues minutes par les filles. Mon objectif pour ce lundi matin était de sortir de la maison le plus rapidement possible pour aller rejoindre les gars dans la cour d’école. J’allais, bien sûr passer par la Walton pour tester mes bottes dans l’eau... de la vraie eau d’étang, opaque, boueuse et creuse.

Après avoir mangé mon bol de soupane, j’ai quitté la maison comme une flèche. Mon sac d’école à la main et mes bottes de caoutchouc aux pieds, j’étais au ciel. Au printemps, la Walton n’était qu’un sentier boueux qui me permettait de laisser mes empreintes de bottes dans le sol mou. Je jouissais du fait que mes nouvelles bottes avaient une semelle à gros crampons.

Ceci augmentait ma confiance et par conséquent, me donnait un sens d’invincibilité.

Une fois rendu au coin de la Anthony et Walton, j’ai aperçu mes copains en train de briser la fine couche de glace qui s’était formée pendant la nuit. Un lançait des pierres pour la transpercer tandis que l’autre piétinait sur sa surface fragile.

En me voyant, mes amis, surpris, me

lancèrent un regard impressionnant. Mes bottes de caoutchouc commençaient déjà à me donner de l’importance. En les rejoignant, j’ai remarqué immédiatement que mes bottes étaient plus hautes que les leurs. Plus hautes par au moins un pouce (2,54 cm). Cette constatation signifiait que je pouvais aller dans l’eau plus creuse, sans me mouiller les pieds. Laissez-moi vous dire qu’un pouce faisait une immense différence!

Finalement, comme il se faisait tard, nous nous sommes dirigés vers la cour d’école.

Mais avant, je me devais de montrer à mes amis mon courage, ma détermination et les prouesses que mes nouvelles bottes de caoutchouc me donnaient. Tous allaient remarquer mes capacités exceptionnelles de patauger sans crainte dans cette belle eau boueuse! J’ai donc décidé, aux regards incrédules des garçons, de traverser, d’un bord à l’autre, cette mer qui se présentait devant moi.

D’un pas lent mais assuré, j’ai commencé cette marche périlleuse vers l’autre bord de l’étang où mes amis m’attendaient. Plus j’avançais, plus je callais. Je ne faisais que vérifier la profondeur de l’eau par le bord de mes bottes qui devenait de plus en plus mince. J’étais tellement concentré que j’en ai presque perdu l’équilibre. Le haut de mes bottes tordait sous la pression grandissante de l’eau. J’étais presque rendu au centre de l’étang et il ne restait que quelques centimètres avant le déluge. Je savais que le lit du ruisseau était devant moi et que jamais je ne pourrais réussir mon objectif.

Reculer était hors de question. Je devais foncer coûte que coûte, même le faire avec des pieds mouillés.

Eurêka! (Un mot qui m’était inconnu à l’époque.) Semblable à un coup de foudre, il m’est venue une image mentale. Une image qui me donna un regain d’énergie et un faible espoir d’avoir décelé une solution à ma situation précaire. À l’automne, et même l’été, le ruisseau, c’està-dire la partie la plus basse du terrain, était

RRCA to give away free trees for Earth Day SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – Join the Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA) on April 27, 2019 starting at 10 a.m. for their annual Earth Day Tree Giveaway.

This year marks the event’s 20-year anniversary taking place at Gray’s Creek Conservation Area and Marina Complex located at 18045 County Road 2, Cornwall. To celebrate, 2,000 free trees will be given away and attendees are invited to join the RRCA for a BBQ lunch and cake. Local vendors and partners will also be in attendance with booths to join in on the celebration.

“We look forward to our annual Earth Day Tree Giveaway where we can answer any questions the public may have about their upcoming tree planting projects. We hope the 10 free white spruce given out to the first 200

households in attendance helps kickstart their property enhancements this year,” says Normand Génier, RRCA’s Forestry Specialist. As a limited quantity of trees will be available, they will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Whether you are planning a windbreak, want to attract more wildlife, or simply add to your existing landscape, trees provide numerous esthetic and environmental benefits. “With the loss of ash trees in the region due to the invasive emerald ash borer and overall forest cover loss, the Earth Day Tree Giveaway provides an excellent opportunity to pick up some replacements and improve local forest cover,” adds Génier.

The RRCA offers tree planting subsidies for landowners with greater than 1 hectare (2.5 acres) of open land. The RRCA has partnered with Forests Ontario under the 50 Million Tree

D.R. fencing

Program, which aims to plant 50 million trees in Ontario by the year 2025. The Program offers trees and the RRCA’s full-service program at a reduced rate. Eligible landowners may receive up to 75% coverage of total planting costs through the Program. Visit rrca.on.ca for more information.

While the trees, food, and refreshments are free, donations will be accepted on-site. Larger potted trees will also be available for purchase; evergreens sell for $10 and deciduous sell for $15 (cash only). There will also be a silent auction for donated items from various local businesses. The funds from donations, potted tree sales, and the silent auction will be allocated towards the RRCA’s forestry programs.

For more information, contact Normand Génier, Forestry Specialist, (613) 938-3611 ext.

Cleaning Sink Drains Sharon Fortier

owner/operator Shar’s Private Cleaning Services

Shar’s Tip of the Week Don’t use drain openers routinely in hopes of preventing clogs-too frequent use can damage pipes. 3-4 table spoons of baking soda and 1 cup of vinegar will be more effective once per week to prevent drains from clogging. But if you do have a clogged drain, plunge first to get any standing water out, don’t put a drain cleaner in a totally blocked drain, it won’t clear the blockage.

Never use a plunger once you’ve put the drain cleaner in-it’ll only splash caustic chemical around.

He asks his driver on his way to the airport if he could drive around for a while because they have time to kill and he hasn’t driven a car since becoming the pope.

Naturally, he’s a bit rusty, so he’s driving poorly, when suddenly he sees police lights behind him.

He pulls over and when the officer comes up to the window his eyes go wide. He says to the pope “Hold on for a minute,” and goes back to his car to radio the chief.

Cop: “Chief we have a situation. I’ve pulled over an important figure.”

Chief: “How important? A governor or something?”

Cop: “No sir. He’s bigger.”

Chief: “So, what? a celebrity or something?”

Cop: “More important, sir.”

Chief: “A major politician?”

Cop: “No sir, he’s much more important.”

Chief: “WELL WHO IS IT!?”

Cop: “Well actually I’m not sure. But the pope’s his driver.”
