Comedian Ron James coming to Cornwall Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Canadian stand-up comedian Ron James will make a stop in Cornwall on his Full Throttle tour, hitting Aultsville Theatre on Sunday, May 12.

The critically acclaimed, award-winning performer, recognizable from The Ron James Show and much more, will be returning to the city for about the tenth time since he started touring around the turn of the century.

“It has been 20 years since I started touring with the amazing Shantero Productions,” said James. “I really do owe Terry McRae a great deal…he really did build this brand.”

James reflected on some of his early touring

years, concluding that he blazed trail with soft seat, hyper local theatre performances, as not many Canadians have done the same with similar success.

“We sold places out, up and down and shaky town…” said James. “To be able to have built an audience and a craft in our country has been very rewarding.”

James said that there are positives and negatives to building a comedy career in Canada, as there is often comparison to American performers. He is proud of his material for his upcoming tour, and said he strives to give his audience their money’s worth, putting on a two hour show.

“Just because you’ve been in the game for a

long time doesn’t mean you can take any shortcuts,” said James. “I’m covering all the bases, rocking the apple cart…(striving for) a balance between artistic needs and audience expectations…I like to hear laughs. It’s about them as much as it is for me. I work hard on my craft…

(I’ll discuss) midlife changes, politics, the old days, hockey, food fads, all these things.”

Tickets to James’ show can be purchased at Cornwall Civic Complex Box Office or online here at tickpro.ca.

“I say this at the end of all of my interviews – if the ushers aren’t wiping their seats down at the end of the performance, I haven’t done my job,” said James with a chuckle.

Lowe’s Home Improvement Cornwall hosts home show weekend Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - Lowe’s in Cornwall hosted a home show weekend on Saturday, May 4 and Sunday, May 5.

There were plenty of vendors and things to buy in-store to get a home and garden ready for the spring and summer seasons.

There was plenty going on in the parking lot as well with Riverside Chrysler offering great deals and cars on site. The parking lot also hosted the Cornwall Fire Department, who were offering tips to keep your home and yard safe this summer, and Tractor Palooza, where customers had a chance to test drive some tractors.

Providing food on Saturday were David Murphy and Ron Graham of Big Brothers/ Big Sisters Cornwall.

Steven Bancroft of Betty Bread donated all the buns for the event and the money raised was put towards Big Brothers/ Big Sisters oneon-one mentoring program.

Lowe’s Store Manager Chris Boggs said that Lowe’s wanted to do its part to help its customers get ready for the nice weather while bringing the community together.

Coffee Chat with a Trans Person Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Knox-St. Paul’s United Faith community is helping to present Coffee Chat with a Trans Person on Saturday, May 11 at the Boys and Girls Club on the corner of Marlborough and First streets from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

The talk will feature Rita OLink, a 65-year-old transgender woman who came out at the age of 52. She said that she wants to raise awareness through this talk and dispel common misconceptions.

She says she’s often asked if being trans is a lifestyle or a choice, what it is like to be out, and

what it was like before she was out.

OLink explained that before she came out, life was Hell.

“It is like living with a headache and not knowing what it is like to live without a headache,” she explained. “When you have gender dysphoria, you either do something with it or it does something to you.”

OLink said that the suicide rate for transgender people is 43 percent.

“That’s what happens when we face rejection and what happens when you deny being yourself,” said OLink.

She said that she wants to put a face to transgender issues in Cornwall, and said that those attending the event should leave their political

correctness at home and ask any question no matter hoe uncomfortable.

OLink explained that they also have a strategy for those questions that no one feels comfortable asking.

“We will be bringing a white elephant box and everyone in the room gets a slip of paper to write a question,” she said.

She said she hoped this talk will help other transgender people living in the area unafraid to be themselves.

Kim Baird of the Knox-St. Paul’s United Church said that they are supporting this talk because they believe that no one journey’s alone.

Riverdale Terrace breaks ground on new expansion CORNWALL, Ontario - Construction has begun on the Riverdale Terrace expansion project. The new development will add a structure west of the main building that could accommodate as many as 50 residents.

The new structure will have a parking space with 18 new parking spots.

The building will have three floors, with the second being a locked floor for those requiring assisted living. There will be two laundry facilities per floor with the second and third floors connected to the main building. The new

development will mean that Riverdale Terrace’s staff will be growing as well.

They will be adding 12 new staff members including nurses and Personal Support Workers (PSW)s who will support residents on the second floor 24/7.

“We are expanding to better serve the needs of seniors in our community,” said JC Godard, who owns Riverdale Terrace with his wife Suzi.

“When seniors are ready to leave the responsibility and hassle of owning a home they can move in to Riverdale Terrace with the comfort of knowing they are in a secure facility where services are tailored to their needs.”

City Clerk releases election contribution statement Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – On Tuesday, April 30, City of Cornwall Clerk Manon L. Levesque released a financial statement (found here) pertaining to 2018 Municipal Election contributions, complying with various sections of the amended Municipal Elections Act (88.23, 88.34 and 88.36).

The statement discusses whether each candidate complied with section 88.25 and filed a financial statement within an allocated span of time. It also reports that no contributor

exceeded contributions to a candidate, and no contributor on a local board exceeded any limits to a candidate — both in accordance with section 88.9. Additionally, no contributor to a registered third party exceeded any contribution limits outlined in section 88.13.

Levesque and General Manager of Corporate Services Geoff Clarke stated that the report does not relate to Mayor Bernadette Clement’s recent announcement of exceeding a personal contribution limit by approximately $4,000, which was previously reported on here.

Levesque and Clarke reiterated that the City

Clerk is not required to make a statement concerning candidate’s personal contributions, and that a statement likely will not be made on the matter.

“Pursuant to section 88.9.1 (8), section 88.34 does not apply to contributions made by a candidate for an office on a council or his or her spouse to the candidate’s own election campaign,” reads a note at the end of the Clerk’s statement.

“We’re letting the process work the way it is supposed to,” said Clarke. “It’s not our position to make any comments either way…right now we

have a process we have to follow…and we are putting that together. (We will) communicate those items (determined by a compliance audit committee) when in a position to make those notices.”

A formal complaint concerning Mayor Clement’s over contribution was made and has been referred to a compliance audit committee, which was formed last week during a City Council meeting on Tuesday, April 23. The committee has 30 days to decide whether the claims in the complaint should or will be investigated further.

Woman credits dog with helping to save her life Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Kathy Lepage woke up in a hospital in Ottawa on April 19 lucky to be alive, and she in parts credits her survival to the staunch loyalty of her eight-year-old Shih Tzu Foxy.

The day before on April 18, Kathy and her husband were relaxing at home after enjoying playing cards with relatives. Her husband was relaxing in the living room, and Kathy was in the bedroom.

Kathy said that Foxy would not leave her husband alone until he got up and went to the bedroom to check on his wife. There, he found her unresponsive and barely breathing.

She was taken to the Cornwall Community Hospital first before being sent to Ottawa. She

said on her way into the Ottawa hospital, the relatives she had been playing cars with the other day were already there on an unrelated issue and were surprised to see her come in, given how healthy she was just hours before.

Kathy said she woke up the next day in a fog.

“Something like this happens to you and you instantly look at life in a different way,” said Kathy. “Don’t wait to talk to people tomorrow if you can do it today.”

Kathy says that she is very thankful that her Shih Tzu Foxy recognized that she was in distress and got her husband’s attention.

“He’s a service dog and he’s very in tune with us,” she said. “He does stick around us a lot.”

Daffodil Campaign raises $35,000 locally Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Canadian Cancer Society of SD&G – Prescott-Russell has announced that their 2019 Daffodil Campaign raised $35,000 during the month of April.

“On any given day, more than 560 people will be diagnosed with cancer. That’s why we are always looking for new ways to prevent cancer, find it early and treat it more successfully. We know that fundraising enables change and we are grateful to our community for

playing such a big part in advancing the cancer cause through their generosity” said Allison St-Jean, Community Fundraising Specialist with the Canadian Cancer Society in SDG & Prescott Russell.

The money raised will be used to support local programs like Wheels of Hope program that transports cancer patients to and from medical appointments. The money will also go towards life saving research.

According to the Canadian Cancer Society, today, 60 per cent of Canadians diagnosed with cancer will survive at least five years. This varies

for different cancers, with breast cancer survivors having a survival rate of 87 per cent, 90 per cent for prostate cancer and 95 per cent for testicular cancer.

The Canadian Cancer Society still has work to do though, as one in two Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes.

On June 7, the Canadian Cancer Society will be holding their annual Relay for Life at the Maxville Fair Grounds. See www.relayforlife.ca/ maxville or call the Canadian Cancer Society office at 613-932-1283 for more details.

bad one for teachers and students.

“The 28-to-one ratio has been very detrimental,” said Law referring to class size increases included in the provincial budget. “Last year, we had only three people who were declared redundant and this year its 100.”

As a part of reforms to the education system, the Provincial government raised the limit on class sizes from 22 to 28, meaning that less teachers will be teaching more students.

Progressive Conservative Minister of Education Lisa Thompson assured the public that no teacher would lose their jobs.

“We are investing a landmark $1.6B in teacher job protection. This funding will make sure not a single teacher will lose their job as a result of our proposed changes to class sizes or e-learning,” Thompson wrote on Twitter.

The $1.6 billion that Thompson mentioned refers to the new Attrition Protection Allocation fund designed to encourage school boards to

refrain from cutting teachers.

“We promised to improve education for students in Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry and across the province by modernizing our education system to ensure our children leave school with the tools they need to be successful both inside and outside of the classroom,” said MPP Jim McDonell in a recent press release to the media. “The province is building on its plan Education that Works for You, and introducing new measures that will help make sure Ontario students are leaders in education once again.”

Seaway News reached out to John McAllister, Chair of the UCDSB for comment. McAllister said that the notices given out did not necessarily mean that all 100 teachers will be laid off.

“What really occurred is that 100 people received notices and that does not mean that 100 people who get notices will lose their jobs,” he said.

McAllister explained that these notices had

100 teachers laid off by UCDSB Nick Seebruch

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) declared 100 teachers as being “redundant” on Tuesday, April 30. Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF) District 26 President Elpis Law confirmed to Seaway News that the layoffs were a result of the funding cuts announced by the Doug Ford government.

“At least 100 bodies were laid off today,” said Law. He said right now, those teachers laid off will have to wait until June before they can re-apply for employment.

“We have to follow normal staffing channels right now,” Law said. “We are hoping the board and government can increase the budget so we can higher these people back.”

Law said he thought that this move was a

to be sent out per the board’s collective bargaining agreement with their teachers.

McAllister further repudiated that these layoffs had anything to do with the changes introduced by the province.

“We are facing a transportation deficit of $5.2 million and that is not due to any financial mismanagement on the Board’s part, but because of the arbitrated settlement we have with our transportation service,” he explained.

He said that he could not definitively say how many teachers would be laid off once their budget is completed.

“We know what our expenses will be, but it is our revenue we don’t know about,” he said.

McAllister explained that the revenue side of the budget will be announced to them by the province in the coming weeks.

He wanted to reassure the public that their children will still be served by the UCDSB at their schools.

Relay For Life – Friday, June 7 – 6pm to 12 am Maxville Fairgrounds

Duncan’s campaign kicks off Nick Seebruch

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Eric Duncan officially accepted the Conservative Party of Canada nomination to be their candidate for the riding of Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry in the 2019 federal election at a rally held in Cornwall at the Ramada Inn on Wednesday, May 1, 2019.

Before taking the stage himself, Duncan was introduced by several people who know him well, Bev Runions, who for many years served on the Williamstown Fair Committee, his former high school teacher Mike Dayton, and incumbent Conservative MP Guy Lauzon, for whom Duncan worked for nine years.

“My first encounter with Eric was during his Prime Ministerial campaign in Grade 11,” said Dayton. “Eric was campaigning on fiscal responsibility and a zero-means-zero student fee increase. Eric’s leadership is still the gold standard at North Dundas District High School.”

Guy Lauzon related a story of first meeting Duncan.

“I said to Francine, I think I just met a 17-yearold going on 30,” he said. “I had never met a teen who was so mature. Boy oh boy, I thought, this

guy was smart and his political acuity was amazing.”

Lauzon told the packed room at the Ramada Inn how Eric would balance his duties as then Mayor of North Dundas while being executive assistant to himself, the National Caucus chair of the Conservative Party. Lauzon explained how Duncan would leave Ottawa to zip down to Winchester for a council meeting, then return to Ottawa at 11 p.m. to prep for the National Caucus meeting the next day. Lauzon promised that this was the type of dedication Duncan would bring to the job of MP if elected in the Fall.

Duncan was piped in by the South Glengarry pipe band, and was wearing a Duncan tartan tie, and even had the Brigadoons play local favourite songs like the Martintown Song. Duncan joked that he was working really hard already to get the South Glengarry vote.

“I’m fired up and ready to go for the next election,” Duncan said. “I’ve been asked over the years what draws me to the Conservatives. I believe in low taxes and efficiently delivering essential government services.”

Duncan said that when it came to campaigning, he was going to “do the Guy Lauzon,” meaning he intends to focus on the grassroots,

going to county fairs, church breakfasts, and community events.

Duncan went on to outline some of his party’s policies for the upcoming election.

“Just because we don’t believe in a carbon tax, doesn’t mean we don’t care about the environment,” he said, but did not explain what policies the Conservatives would enact to fight climate change, only stating that a full platform would be forthcoming.

Other policies that Duncan was able to promise was an exemption of HST for home heating bills and an exemption of income tax on employment insurance for those on parental leave.

Duncan also voiced his support for supply management.

Duncan said he wanted to run a clean campaign, and expressed his distaste for personal attacks, below the belt shots and fighting.

“I will bring the same style of leadership and tone to this new job that I did to my previous ones,” he said, and went on to applaud those who may step forward as candidates for other parties.

“I know just like me you care about our country. I admire you for standing up for what you believe in and putting your names on the ballot.”

Beyond 21 finds new home Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Beyond 21 welcomed the community into their new home located at 1924 Pitt St. “This is indeed a dream come true for all of us,” said Tish Humphries, President of Beyond 21. “We have spend three years pounding the pavement to find the appropriate site.”

In addition to announcing their new location, Humphries also announced a new capital fundraising campaign to help fund the renovations that will need to be done to the building over the next year. Humphries introduced the chair of the campaign, former Upper Canada District School Board Superintendent Tim Mills.

“We now have 50 families, nine staff and a waiting list of about 10 other families,” said Mills.

“And we now have this beautiful building to act as a hub.”

Mills said that so far, the campaign has raised over $150,000 with a goal of reaching $750,000

by May 2020. That money will be used to install a kitchen, accessible washrooms, a recreation space and a space for those who are sensory sensitive.

Tish Humphries thanked several individuals and businesses who helped Beyond 21 get to their current stage including Sandy Cameron Realty who helped them find the space, Red Robbin Window Cleaning who cleaned the windows of the new space free of charge, and Grant Marion Construction, who will be doing the renovation work.

Humphries said that she hoped to open the doors to the new home of Beyond 21 in the Fall of 2019.

Spared for now Nick Seebruch The past few weeks, regional headlines have been dominated by flooding in Montreal to our east, flooding in Ottawa and Gatineau to our north, and flood warnings in Edwardsburgh to our west, but Cornwall has almost literally been an island of calm.

Yeah, we got a little rain, but we did not see flooding in Cornwall and SD&G on the scale that places like Quyon, Pontiac and Pembroke faced.

Why were we spared? I think there were a couple of reasons. One is that the OPG Moses-Saunders keeps a lot of the St. Lawrence River to the west of us, in fact, the dam had to release higher than normal levels of water to help ease flooding to the west of us.

Another important program that I believed helped stave off flooding in our area is the city’s Flood Risk Reduction Rebate program. Introduced in 2014, the program was implemented after Cornwall experienced severe flooding in 2010 and 2013.

The program allows for a rebate up to $3,600 to help encourage homeowners to make property improvements that will deter flooding such as the installation of a backwater valve, the redirection of eaves troughs and lot grading improvements.

Programs like these are ways that municipalities can treat the symptoms of climate change, however, more still needs to be done to prevent climate change and avoid its worst consequences.

At his nomination rally last week, Conservative Party of Canada candidate Eric Duncan said that just because his party doesn’t believe in a carbon tax, doesn’t mean that they don’t care about the environment. I found this message very encouraging, because I have felt for a long time that Duncan’s party did not understand or appreciate the urgency that the challenge of climate change represents for all of us.

That being said, scientific consensus seems to be in favour of a carbon tax as the best way to reduce carbon in the atmosphere and therefore climate change. Economists William Nordhaus and Paul Romer won Nobel Prizes in 2018 for their work proving the effectiveness of a carbon tax.

Regardless, the fact that the Conservative Party are at least willing to acknowledge that there is a problem is encouraging, but there is much to do.

Climate change will affect everyone and will affect everyone negatively.

Many will die and many more will be displaced. This is a challenge that we all must face whether you live in Cornwall, or Pembroke, or the other side of the world.

Are there bigger carbon producers in the world besides Canada? Yes. Should we work to get countries like China and India to do their part to reduce their carbon foot print? Also yes, but we should also being doing what we can to reduce our own carbon footprints whether it be at the national, provincial or local level.

At the national and provincial level we should be investing money to make Ontario and Canada a premier producer of renewable energy. Oil is a finite resource that his helping destroy the planet. Why not move away from oil, which will be gone in a generation one way or another and create a new, more profitable industry now?

Unfortunately, the municipal level will have to deal with the consequences and inaction of the federal and provincial governments when it comes to climate change, as Ottawa, Pembroke, Quyon and others have already learned.

Readers, what do you think? Are you happy with how your governments are handling the climate change issue? Email me a Letter to the Editor at nicholas. seebruch@tc.tc

Despite what President Trump says, global warming is real!

Sultan Jessa

President Donald Trump of America says global warming is a hoax.

This is far from the truth.

Global warming is real.

In recent years, global warming and climate change have been the subject of political controversy, especially in the United States of America.

But, as the science becomes clearer and consensus grows it is becoming evidently clear that the international community has to act and act now with positive steps to tackle global warming.

We have clear evidence of rising temperatures all over the globe.

Canada is one of the big culprits and the Liberal government headed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is talking about it.

However, many provincial Conservative premiers oppose Trudeau on this vital issue.

Many of the top scientists and experts on the environment agree climate change is causing disasters around the globe.

Earth-orbiting satellites and other technological advances have enabled scientists to see the big picture. Evidence collected over many years reveal signals of a changing climate.

Canada, China, India and many other countries agree with scientists that 2018 and parts of 2019 have created havoc at an alarming rate.

Climate change is proving even more disruptive than even scientists’ most pessimistic projections.

Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is showing positive signs of taking concrete action to stop global warming.

Global warming continues to be linked to disasters around the world and costs billions of dollars.

America has to change its mind on this critical issue.

The United States accounts for one-seventh of the world’s carbon emissions.

The Paris Agreement must be respected.

The pledge at the Paris summit was to keep the global rise in temperatures below 2 C. The Glaciers are retreating almost everywhere around the world including the Alps, Mount Everest, Andes, Rockies, Alaska and Africa.

Climate change is one of the greatest threats of our time.

America has to wake up and see reality.

Violence in the classroom Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@cornwallseawaynews.com

An Ottawa newspaper carried a front-page story this week with the eye-catching headline, “Runaway violence grips classrooms”.

It told of teachers being threatened, kicked, hit and spit upon. Scissors have been banned for fear one might be used as a weapon. It told of an out-of-control kid breaking a window and a door while classmates were evacuated.

While lock downs are not the daily norm, they have become more frequent.

The real shocker was that the story wasn’t about high school students. It was about kindergarten to Grade 3 kids.

The statistics used in the story (4,223 violent incidents against teachers this school year) were from the Ottawa-Carleton School Board, but by all accounts this is not restricted to a single board in the province. It is universal.

The only defence teachers seem to have in this new world of total tolerance is to fill out an incident report, count the number of years left until pension time and pop an Advil.

I know of a Toronto police officer who abandoned the dream of being a teacher to join the thin blue line because, “At least they teach me how to defend myself.”

If you are a high school teacher, brace yourself, there is a classroom behavioral tsunami

on the way.

The days of tough love are long gone.

Ordering a misbehaving kid to stand in the corner for 10 minutes, write out 100 times “I will behave in class” or stick a piece of gum on the end of the nose are right up there with cruel and unusual punishment. The strap has gone the way of the hitching rail. Yanking on a disruptive kid’s ear? That, at best, is a career-ender.

There was a time when teachers ran the “zoo”. Every high school teaching staff had de facto attitude adjusters. And parents had a teacher’s back. One of the worst punishments a school could hand out was the dreaded telephone call to your parent(s) from the principal.

To use a hyperbolic phrase, that call was a fate worse than death. ************ According to the Ontario-St. Lawrence Parks Commission this wasn’t a case of finders keepers.

So, this week in the spring of 1957 the agency was demanding that 11 cannon shells scooped from the former Longue Sault Rapids did not belong to the finder, 17-year-old Arthur Raymond who lived on Sheek Island with his parents.

The teen gave one of the shells, believed to be from the War of 1812, to the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders museum and offered one to the commission as a peace offering.

The commission, claiming anything found

Cornwall . . . a great city

Lipo

loving care to people who need to feel they are not alone.

I have had to seek the services of the McConnell Medical Centre, (my family doctor retired and the reason I have had to come to the centre) you are greeted with a smile and any wait time is well worth it because when the doctor sees you, you can be certain you have his kind and undivided attention. The nurses are angels in disguise.

I have had to require home care services. The nurses and PSWs are caring and always on time, no matter the weather conditions. I now need and have the services of Cornwall Transit . . . Wow! Great and kind help from the caring staff.

I must also praise the great work of our postmen, delivering our mail door-to-door even

during severe weather conditions. I know that our brave firefighters and paramedics are always a call away if needed. As well, not forgetting our many waste collectors who keep our city clean.

Our MP and Mayor who work and contribute on our behalf.

I cannot forget the many fine priests, pastors, deacons and elders who give their time daily, hoping to make a difference in our lives. They too, have a large responsibility to be there for all of us.

On many occasions, they give up their personal time to visit the sick and the elderly. We think that we appreciate these dedicated people, but we need to show our appreciation by attending the many church services offered to us.

I would like to mention names, however,

please read between the lines and know who you are, making a beautiful difference in our lives.

I believe I should print the above on a weekly basis to make certain that everyone has a chance to give thanks for he blessings of this great city. If you take time to really look around you will see God’s many earth angels surrounding us daily. I personally have these earth angels come to my aid every day. On my part, I give a big thank you to all of you who have and continue to make my life worth living.

Summer is really just around the corner, my wishes to everyone is that you enjoy a pleasant season.

For the past 19 years that I have lived here, I have encountered many friendly shop keepers, movers and everyday kind people. Most important, we not only have a beautiful hospital building, but the doctors, nurses and many caregivers that work within this building each and every day need to be recognized and thanked for their great work. I guess when good health comes to a stop and these caring doctors and nurses are required that we are grateful for their smiles and expertise and the assurance that they are there to help ease our pain.

Remembering the murdered and the missing Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Akwesasne Family Wellness program organized the first local event to recognize missing and murdered aboriginal women in Cornwall on Sunday, May 5, 2019.

To honour the missing and murdered aboriginal women, red dresses and clothing was worn by attendees and hung outside of the event’s venue, the Port Theatre.

The event began with a memorial walk from the Cornwall clock tower to the Port Theatre.

It was followed by addresses in memory of those lost and a musical performance by Bear Fox. The event was MC’d by actor Wayne Baker.

The event recognized at least 35 Akwesasne residents who have gone missing or have been murdered including Kenny Leaf, Lori MartinLazore, Hattie Bero, Suzanne Cook, Margaret White and more.

“For us, we don’t have exact numbers, but they are high,” said Kathleen Terrance of the Akwesasne Family Wellness Program. “We have three men who are missing and we are giving a voice to them and all of those who are missing.”

A tribute to Carl Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – On May 1, 2019, a well-known face in Cornwall’s East End was lost.

Carl Lalonde passed away at his home, he was 68.

Carl was often seen travelling all around Cornwall, but especially the East End, on his trusty bicycle.

A gentle soul, Carl was often met with kindness from those he encountered, but not always.

His friend Denis Charlebois remembered how Carl would help him fix his bikes when he was younger, and in recent years, Charlebois took in Carl, and gave him a trailer on his property where he could store some of his belongings.

“I have compassion,” said Charlebois. “We had known each other for a long time. There were times people didn’t treat him right, but what’s an extra pork chop and a potato. Carl was set in his ways and he didn’t want anyone to take care of him. He had his mental health issues, but how could you get mad at somebody like that.”

Charlebois explained that Carl had suffered from pneumonia in late 2018 and had also recently suffered a stroke.

A celebration of Carl’s life will take place at Lahaie & Sullivan Funeral Home East Branch, 614 First Street East, (613-933-2841) from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday, May 12, 2019.

CORNWALL, Ontario – This year marks the 15th annual, widely anticipated Garden Party for Dr. Rachel Navaneelan’s House of Hope, taking place on Saturday, June 8 from noon to 5 p.m.

“This organization is about helping the children,” stated Dr. Navaneelan. “It’s mostly in this community but outside we would like to help any child we can, in any way we can.

That’s what it is all about.”

Tickets to the event are $75 per person and over 500 guests are expected again this year at the Cornwall Golf and Country Club.

Tickets can be purchased at Rachel’s Kids or Dr. Navaneelan & Associates Cosmetic & Family Dentistry.

This year’s Co-Chair is none other than 10-year-old Oakley Ingram of Cornwall.

Ingram has received assistance from Rachel’s Kids House of Hope as he was diagnosed with type one diabetes at the age of seven.

“Oakley is a Rachel’s Kids recipient,” said Kim Lauzon, Rachel’s Kids Executive Director.

“We always look to have a family come and speak about how Rachel’s Kids has impacted their life, ant this year we are excited to have Oakley tell his story.

A number of silent and live auction items have already been planned for the event but will remain under wraps, to be unveiled with a number of other surprises during the event.

MS Clinic’s future in question Nick Seebruch

Karen Torrie-Racine, who has been a patient at the MS Clinic since 1985 and who’s doctor is renowned neurologist Dr. Mark Freedman who specializes in the study and treatment of MS at the MS Clinic in Ottawa.

“We don’t know what we’d would do,” said Marc Villeneuve, who’s lived with MS since 2004.

Torrie-Racine explained how the MS Society used to provide funding for MS Clinics across Ontario.

Villeneuve and Torrie-Racine explained that the loss of the clinics will mean harder access to specialists, a loss of an important resource for research and a loss of access to clinical trials for MS patients.

The MS Clinic in Ottawa provides a range of services and support including neurology, coun-

CORNWALL, Ontario – An online petition is currently up on Change.org pleading with the public for support to save the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Clinic in Ottawa.

“Ongoing budget cuts and lack of funding have left the clinic who treats more than 3,500 patients struggling to function and keep their doors open,” the petition reads. “The Ottawa MS Clinic has a world renowned transplant program and is currently the ONLY hospital in Canada to offer (stem cell) transplants to MS patients.”

Locally, Cornwall area MS patients feel the loss of the clinic will leave them in a vacuum.

“I would have to find a new neurologist,” said

selling, daily personal support and more.

The Ottawa MS Clinic is operated by the Ottawa Hospital and is located on their General Campus.

The Ottawa Hospital has refuted the claims that the clinic will be closing in a statement on social media on April 30.

“The Ottawa Hospital’s Multiple Sclerosis Clinic is not closing, despite rumours to the contrary, and has never been planned to close. Our clinic is open and will continue to serve patients with the skilled, compassionate care they expect from The Ottawa Hospital and all of its care providers,” the statement reads.

The organizers of the petition acknowledged the statement, but remain skeptical of the clinic’s future.

“The Ottawa Hospital issued a statement yesterday saying that the MS Clinic will not be closing, but has given no further information on how they will continue to operate, or if they are keeping the therapeutic nurse position,” the statement on the petition reads. “Thank you all for sharing and signing. I am keeping this petition open until I receive confirmation that the clinic will receive the staffing it needs to deliver care to their current patients as well as future patients.”

There are roughly 230 individuals in the Cornwall area who live with MS and Torrie-Racine estimates that most of those rely on the MS Clinic in Ottawa.

Cornwall’s Deadliest Fire: The Rossmore Hotel Sara Lauzon Wayback Playback

littlehistorian@live.ca

Throughout Cornwall’s history there have been dozens of tragic fires that have destroyed businesses, and left Cornwall citizens homeless. The deadliest fire in Cornwall’s history, is the fire that destroyed a Cornwall icon: The Rossmore Hotel.

The fire that destroyed the hotel also claimed the lives of twelve hotel employees and guests.

Cornwall’s Rossmore Hotel was built in 1888, and graciously stood three stories tall.

The Hotel was so grand and so beautiful, that several newspaper outlets throughout the province labelled it as “the finest hotel in

Ontario.” Nothing remains of the hotel’s original structure, and today the Bank of Montreal stands on the former hotel property at 159 Pitt Street.

On April 29, 1910, it is believed that a careless smoker dropped a match or a cigar on their way upstairs.

Sixty guests were asleep throughout the three upper stories of the hotel. By the time the majority of the occupants and staff were awake, the staircase between the first and second stories was engulfed in flames. The flames mounted the stairways to the upper levels, and quickly spread throughout the entire building.

By looking at the people who lost their lives in comparison to the other guests, it was familiar boarders and employees that unfortunately met their death in the fire. The guests unfamiliar with the hallways and staircases

jumped out windows, and used the rope fire escapes. Boarders and employees who sought to escape through familiar passageways, unfortunately died at the hands of the fire.

Those who perished in the fire were: Charles (C.J.) Gray, the manager of the Ives Modern Bed Company, his wife, Fannie Jean Gray, and their two children: ten-year-old Vivian Elsie Isobel, and their seven-year-old son, Robert Howard.

Also lost, were: Benjamin Fielding, a 32-year-old accountant from the Sterling Bank, 26-year-old Bank of Montreal teller, Charles Gagné, and Mrs. Jane Agnes Archibald.

Staff that perished in the fire were: Assistant Cook, Barbara Goeller, Hotel Clerk, Ernest Bullen, the Australian born Bell Boy, 19-yearold William Hulme, and two sisters that had the occupation as “Hotel servant”, Miss Jane and Miss Mary White.

IHA Canada logement pour les aînés

S.T.I.A.M… Apprendre en s’amusant… absolument!

Communiqué de presse de l’Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital

La technique S.T.I.A.M. a fait son entrée à l’école Rose des Vents cet hiver! S.T.I.A.M. est un acronyme pour les mots suivants: sciences, technologie, ingénierie, arts et mathématiques.

Lorsque les élèves vivent un projet d’apprentissage S.T.I.A.M., ces matières sont intégrées pour former un tout. Cette approche interdisciplinaire mélange ces matières afin de développer des compétences chez nos élèves. On y retrouve même de la robotique, du bricolage et de la construction.

Nous venons de terminer un projet avec nos élèves de 4e année. Ce projet a été créé pour compléter un module du baccalauréat international sur le Moyen Âge. Des contes revisités ont été lus en amorce, révision des mesures en mathématiques, des machines simples en sciences et hop c’est parti pour le projet de construction final! Les élèves devaient créer un dispositif incluant 2 machines simples qui leur permettrait de défendre la reine contre les ennemis tout comme au Moyen Âge. Les élèves ont appris à concevoir un plan, à utiliser des outils, à couper du bois selon des angles…

C’est vraiment fascinant de voir leur plan et leurs idées sont très créatives! À la fin, les élèves s’évaluent entre eux pour trouver le projet le plus respectueux de l’environnement, le plus créatif, le plus efficace…

Voilà un projet d’intégration à son meilleur!

ALEXANDRIA, Ontario - Innovative Housing Alternatives Canada (IHA) est heureuse d’annoncer en association avec Nurse On Board et Alio Health, le début de la phase de conception et de planification de « Shire », une nouvelle conception de village visant à offrir des choix de logement pour personnes âgées autonomes aux résidents de l’Est ontarien. L’initiative du village se veut un modèle de logement pour aînés, offrant des choix abordables où les résidents peuvent s’installer à proximité de soins de santé tout en vivant leur pleine autonomie dans la communauté vibrante d’Alexandria.

Grâce à la vision et au soutien de l’Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital (HGMH), IHA a entamé le processus pour obtenir toutes les autorisations nécessaires à ce récent développement novateur. Durant l’étape de la planification, Nurse On Board et Alio Health approcheront les aînés dans l’Est ontarien pour assurer que les intérêts et les besoins en matière de santé des futurs résidents de Shire soient considérés dans l’ensemble.

Au cours des quelques prochains mois, des présentations seront faites lors de divers événements porte-ouverte pour faire le point sur les types de logements offerts, incluant des maisons individuelles et des appartements, et les options de soins et de soutien supplémentaire disponibles. Les plans visant un carrefour communautaire pour offrir sur place une variété de

commodités, des espaces récréatifs et commerciaux seront aussi présentés. De plus, le projet comprendra des bureaux administratifs pour soutenir l’administration de l’hôpital et y libérer des locaux pour offrir davantage de soins aux patients.

Grâce à une solide approche d’équipe, le développement de Shire transformera Alexandria en un leader du logement indépendant et abordables des aînés dans l’Est ontarien, en offrant les conceptions les plus novatrices, les technologies avancées et un mouvement culturel qui fait place à la prestation de soins de santé à la demande de l’individu. « Notre région qui compte l’une des plus fortes populations d’aînés dans la province a la plus faible disponibilité d’établissements de vie assistée ou de logement pour aînés autonomes », dit Corey Kalsi, président du conseil d’administration de l’HGMH. « Depuis les huit dernières années, notre hôpital oeuvre dans le but de réaliser sa vision d’un carrefour de la santé dans notre communauté pour aborder ce problème. Ce partenariat avec IHA, Nurse On Board et Alio Health consiste en une incroyable opportunité de réaliser cet objectif. » Susan Hagar est heureuse d’avoir été invitée à s’adresser au ‘symposium pour aînés’ du lundi 6 mai 2019 à Alexandria (Ontario), où elle présentera un aperçu de l’approche et de l’innovation Shire. Pour de plus amples renseignements sur l’événement, veuillez courrieller Alyson Graham à info@cedarwoodservices.ca ou appeler au 613-360-5512.

Five surgeons were talking about the best patients...

The first surgeon says, “Accountants are the best to operate on because when you open them up, everything on the inside is numbered.”

The second surgeon says, “Nah - librarians are the best. Everything inside them is in alphabetical order.”

The third surgeon responds,“Try electricians, man! Everything inside them is colour coded!”

The fourth surgeon intercedes,” I prefer lawyers.

They’re heartless, spineless, gutless, and their heads and butts are interchangeable.”

To which the fifth surgeon, who has been quietly listening to the conversation, says, “I like engineers. They always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end.”

Partnering with the Optimist Club of Cornwall, YourTV is anticipating its annual Youth Achievement Awards, recognizing young community members in Grades 4 to 10 for acts of volunteerism.

“From the past five years, every year we get blown away. There’s so many kids that go out

and do above and beyond, and it puts us adults to shame really. I read the nominations and think ‘we don’t do enough as adults. If this is our future, we are in good hands,’” said Bill Makinson of YourTV. Makinson encourages friends, family members and teachers to nominate a youth that shows admirable qualities that should be recognized. Nominations close Sunday, May 12. To find out more, visit yourtvyaa.ca.

Sarah and Gerald Mazerolle celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on May 3 with family and friends. Congratulations.

It’s a real shame that SDG, and the dozen corporate sponsors including Bourgon Construction, TD Friends of the Environment and many others will be giving their generous donations away to provide additional barriers, gates and signage to protect what’s left of local natural wetlands.

FOUND: At the Cornwall Square a silver linked bracelet with hearts and one of the hearts is coloured. Please call 613-933-0014 if you are missing a bracelet.

Fauxmagerie Zengarry operated by Alexandria resident Lynda Turner received a $100,000 investment from the federal government. Can’t wait to see the developments coming to Zengarry.
