Pre-workout tips

As physically active individuals age, seniors typically must change how they approach exercise. For example, rather than jumping two feet first into new activities like they might have done when they were younger, seniors may have to think about injury prevention and ways to improve their endurance prior to lacing up their sneakers. For most, that may boil down to taking various pre-workout steps.

· Get enough rest. The body requires adequate sleep and other rest during the day to stimulate muscle growth and repair.

· Emphasize stretching. Stretching can improve flexibility and reduce the risk of muscle injuries. It also can improve range of motion in the joints. Stretching before and after a workout prepares the body for exercise and helps it recover.

· Wear the proper footwear and clothing. Sturdy, supportive athletic shoes and well-fitting workout wear can make working out more comfortable and safer. Footwear that offers sufficient heel support and nonslip soles is beneficial as well.

· Warm up. Give the body an opportunity to acclimate during a warm-up period that will facilitate healthy breathing. Warming up also loosens up the joints and muscles for the exercise ahead. After a workout, seniors should cool down to reduce their heart rates and prepare for recovery.

· Carefully consider pre-workout supplements. Pre-workout powders and pills have become quite popular for exercise enthusiasts. Manufacturers may advertise that their products are loaded with vitamins and minerals that will help energize the body for a workout. However, they also may be fortified with caffeine. Do not take a pre-workout supplement without first consulting your physician, as certain products may adversely interact with medications you’re taking for preexisting conditions. Pre-workout steps can keep seniors safe and reduce injury risk from exercise.

The night will consist of a three-course meal and show, with a cash bar available. There are prizes to be won, a silent auction, and more. Come dressed in character (50s/60s theme) or keep it casual, it’s up to you!

Ghost Walk for Charity board members Turcotte and Kaye joked with Seaway News that some people have been hesitant to buy tickets, associating the event with the frightening Ghost Walk for Charity.

“That’s what we do to raise money but not this – this is an evening of sit-down entertainment for the whole family,” said Shawn Kaye, Board Member, “We raise good money for Cornwall. That’s what it’s all about; helping these organizations with funding and it’s so needed right now. It’s really nice to be able to

addition to these larger yearly donations, the Ghost Walk for Charity Board is launching a new year-round community grant program.

“We want to raise money throughout the year so we can give money throughout the year. Things pop up and requests come in all the time. This is just something the community can access,” said Board Chair, Michael Turcotte, “Maybe somebody requires an assisted device, as an example, that doesn’t have the funds to get it. They can apply through our website.”

Tickets for the Murder Mystery Dinner and Show can be purchased at Foot and Ankle Clinic/Step Above Footwear (1077 Pitt Street) or from any of the Ghost Walk Board of Directors.

Mothers Matter!

Pastor Jim Drennan Pastor’s Desk

A well-loved comic Calvin and Hobbes, features the adventures of a young boy and his ‘tiger.’ Calvin is standing by his mother’s bed on Mother’s Day and he says, “Hey, Mom! Wake up. I made you a Mother’s Day card.” His mother reads it out loud:

“I was going to buy a card with hearts of pink and red. But then I thought I’d rather spend the money on me instead.

It’s awfully hard to buy things when one’s allowance is so small.

So, I guess you’re plenty lucky I got you anything at all.

Happy Mother’s Day to you. There, I said it. Now I’m done.

So how about getting out of bed and cooking breakfast for your son.”

He adds, “did you notice the part about my allowance?”

Mother’s Day, the second Sunday in May, was originally set aside as “a day for the public expression of our love and reverence for the mothers of our country.” It has been said that, “no nation is ever greater than its mothers, for they are the makers of the next generation.”

The single most important thing we will ever do as parents is introduce our children to know and love God personally. Billy Graham wrote: “Children will invariably talk,

eat, walk, think, respond, and act like their parents. Give them a target to shoot at. Give them a goal to work toward. Give them a pattern that they can see clearly, and you give them something that gold and silver cannot buy.”

Parents and grandparents can develop a home that honours God! A family was driving home from church after the dedication of their baby, little Liam. The older brother however, Sam cried all the way home in the back seat of the car. His mother asked him three times what was wrong. Finally, the boy replied, “That pastor said he wanted us to be brought up in a Christian home … but I want to stay with you guys!”

In 2Timothy 1:5 Paul wrote to Timothy: “I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.” It was the life of Timothy’s mother and grandmother than led him to know God and eventually come to an important place of serving Him. This is the power of a godly example.

Mothers, your day will soon be here. May God richly bless you in it. If you have felt that you’ve been walking through some challenges alone, recognize that Jesus’ hand is reaching out to you, saying, “There is nothing to be afraid of. I’ll go with you.” He has already gone through the worst of valleys for you, and made it possible for you to live forever as you trust in him. His loving invitation extends to

Stop the privatization of public hospitals

KRYSTINE THERRIAULT

ktherriault@seawaynews.media

On April 18, 2023, a press conference was held by the SDG/Cornwall Health Coalition outside the Cornwall Community Hospital. A local chapter of the Ontario Health Coalition, the SDG/Cornwall coalition is participating in a province-wide community referendum on May 26 and 27 to stop the Ford Government from privatizing our public hospitals.

“In the name of reducing the backlog in surgeries, the government is facilitating the development of private, for-profit surgical facilities, at the same time it maintains the public hospitals on an austerity budget,” explained co-chair, Elaine MacDonald, “The government could invest in re-building the public system and strengthening public hospitals. But they don’t. According to the FAO of Ontario, the government has underspent on public healthcare to the tune of $1.25 billion in 2023 alone, and continually increases its support for the private for-profits.”

Since the provincial government is making big changes to the Ontario healthcare system without consulting the public, health coalitions across Ontario are taking matters into their own hands. They have identified over 1,000 poll sites for citizens to have their say in this issue.

SDG and Cornwall will have 21 poll locations. The referendum will consist of a one question ballot open to all Ontario residents over the age of 16:

Do you want our public hospital services to be privatized to for-profit hospitals and clinics?

Dr. Juliet Gill, an anesthesiologist who has practiced in Canada and the United States,

shared her opinion on the issue:

“It’s foot in the door at the moment, but can you imagine what obstetric care would be like privatized? It’s expensive on a good day and we know that some obstetric units in the country have closed because there’s not the staff and not the money invested. In the private sector obstetric care will be extremely expensive and accessible only to those who can pay. Those who have bought expensive insurance. And know that insurance in the states for healthcare can run up to $800 a month for a family.”

According to the Canadian Medical Association, provinces and territories generate over 70% of the cost of healthcare spending through general tax revenues with the federal government providing the rest through the Canada Health Transfer. After years of communities fundraising to support local hospitals and keep important healthcare services close, the Ontario government’s support of privatization is an affront to our public system.

69th Cornwall Kinsmen Music Festival Wraps Up at Aultsville Theatre

KRYSTINE THERRIAULT ktherriault@seawaynews.media

The 69th annual Cornwall Kinsmen Music Festival wrapped up on Sunday, April 16th. The festival saw many wonderful performances by young musicians from across Cornwall and SDG over the course of the week, culminating in the Concert of the Stars, where all the awards and trophies were presented.

This year’s festival had four adjudicators: Nadia Boucher (piano), Cara GilbertsonBoese (voice), Louise Conway (instrumental) and Patricia Quail-McRae (instrumental). Each adjudicator brought their own unique experience to educate and inspire students.

“We continue to be impressed by the incredible talents of the young people from

our area and we are proud to provide them with an opportunity to showcase their musical abilities,” said Kinsmen Club of Cornwall President, Claude Legault, “It takes a lot of work, countless hours of practice and determination to excel in music and the Kinsmen Music Festival is a celebration of their achievements.”

“Our students were so happy to be able to participate in the Kinsmen Music Festival this year. They put so much effort into practising, and they performed so well. The adjudicator gave fun and positive feedback, and it was a very enjoyable experience all around. We can’t wait to go back again next year!” shared Sarah McCullough, founder of Blue Sky: An Acton Academy.

Storytelling is a fundamental part of being human. Stories help build connections and strong communities. Storytelling, in all its forms, supports mental health and reduces stigma.

This year’s Mental Health Week will amplify the voices of local individuals spreading a message of hope.

Council will begin May by starting something new. On May 1st, Council will have hosted its first open town hall. It is worth noting that this is the second town hall that Cornwall City Councill will have hosted since introducing its town hall policy last term. The previous town hall was specifically to hear from residents on bringing back the ward system. The May 1st meeting is different in that residents were able to register with the City Clerk to bring up just about any topic.

I’m currently writing this column prior to the town hall taking place, but it will be published shortly thereafter, so I won’t be able to comment on how it went, but I do believe that it is a step in the right direction. There has been talk of Council hosting town halls for some time now, which did culminate with the creation of the town hall policy. However, as with everything else, COVID got in the way and set us back.

As Senator Clement recently stated as she shared the town hall announcement, hosting town halls was an item which was high on her agenda. I am very pleased to be able to push this initiative forward and to host the first open town hall.

The idea is of course to give residents and groups the opportunity to appear before Council when they may not otherwise meet the criteria of our procedural by-law for presentations and delegations. I am hopeful that these new townhalls will provide greater

communication and transparency between Council and citizens of Cornwall.

On the topic of communication with Council, there is one issue that I would like to comment on briefly. That of decorum. Recently, there has been a marked increase in rude and abrasive emails, messages, and in person interactions with members of Council and city staff. It is becoming unacceptable. By the nature of our positions, we are here to serve residents, however, all members of Council and staff deserve a level of respect.

I can understand that sometimes there is frustration because of delays in responding, or perceived inaction, or other reasons. However, please note that these are not viable reasons for some of the correspondence or in person interactions that I have seen or become aware of.

Now I want to be clear, there is nothing wrong with criticizing Council for decision we’ve made, or a position that we have. Those are absolutely fair game. However, when the attacks become personal there is an issue. Name calling, sexism, racism, and other similar behaviours are crossing a line and are not political discourse. Same goes for harassing staff either verbally or by message.

Like everyone else, we deserve a workplace free of harassment. If someone came to your workplace and started to call you names, or swear at you, or make ultimatums or threats, it wouldn’t be acceptable or tolerated. The same applies to members of Council and city staff.

I am hopeful that moving forward we will see better communication moving forward and have productive discussions about issues that arise.

Upcoming Fire Hydrant Flushing

The City of Cornwall will soon initiate it’s Summer Fire Hydrant Flushing Program.

As part of the regular maintenance activities for the Water Distribution System, all Fire Hydrants throughout the City are flushed at least once a year. These flushing activities are mandated by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation, and Parks to ensure proper chlorine residuals, excellent water quality, and adequate flow for firefighters.

Did you know that the City of Cornwall is responsible for maintaining over 1,300 fire hydrants in the community?

During fire hydrant flushing, residents who live nearby may observe sediment in

their water, or the water may temporarily turn brown or rust-coloured. Some nearby homes may also experience reduced water pressure until the flushing is complete.

If you notice sediment or that your water is discoloured, run the cold-water faucets in your home until the discolouration disappears. Do not drink the discolored water or do laundry until the discolouration disappears completely. Discoloured water isn’t harmful to your health, but it can stain laundry.

If your laundry becomes stained due to discoloured water, please contact the City’s Municipal Works Department at 613-932-5354.

Registration Process Open for 550 Ninth St.

The much-anticipated registration process for the affordable and attainable market rent units for 550 Ninth Street will officially launch on May 3rd. Rental Rates and application details will be available on the City’s website. This Community Housing Complex will feature 77 one-bedroom residential units, as well as a commercial space that will be occupied by the Housing Services Department for the City of Cornwall and SDG Counties. The complex is a mixed rental community with units available at Attainable Market, Affordable, and Rent Geared to Income levels. Rent Geared to Income units will be filled from the Centralized Wait List and current community housing tenants who are currently over housed. The

building also features 15 Barrier Free units to support aging in place and community accessibility. “This development is an important step forward in the City and United Counties work to alleviate the effects of the housing crisis in our community,” said Lisa Smith, Manager of Housing Services for the City of Cornwall. “We can’t wait to welcome our newest residents to their new home.” To register, residents are asked, starting May 3rd, to visit http://www. Cornwall.ca/NinthStreet to complete an online application. Contact the Housing Services Division at 613-938-7717 if you have questions about the online application.

Some Said Horovitz Died Of Broken Heart

Claude McIntosh MAC’S MUSINGS

INFO@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

Hundreds of people on May 14, 1957 lined Second and Amelia streets from McArthur Brothers and MacNeil Funeral home to the Jewish Synagogue to say farewell to Cornwall’s longest serving mayor. It was as close to a civic funeral as the city has ever had.

Aaron Horovitz, the Romanian refugee first elected mayor in 1930, one of the first Jewish mayors in Canada, served a total of 18 years over a 26-year period. He lost just one election, in 1956, to former Cornwall Township reeve Emile Menard It was the first election held after the onesquare-mile city expanded into parts of Cornwall Township to become a 32-square -mile community.

Some say Horovitz, who wore his pride in his adopted city (he came to Cornwall in 1911), as they say, on his suit sleeve, died of a broken heart. In a twisted piece of tragedy, Menard died on Aug. 12 in a fall in his home. Ten days later Ald. Archie Lavigne became Cornwall’s third mayor in nine months.

Horovitz was a self-made millionaire –his money made in the clothing manufacturing business - who never flaunted his wealth, save for a Cadillac and splendid home with its red-tiled roof on Second Street next to the Memorial Park cenotaph. He was a kind man with a perpetual smile.

If you were a kid growing up in Cornwall during the 1950s you will remember the Aaron Horovitz Children’s Picnic at Central Park with free pop and ice cream ... and prizes that included a draw for two bicycles – boy and girl.

When it came to promoting Cornwall, no mayor before or after Horovitz did it the way the little mayor did.

In 1954, Horovitz pushed for Cornwall to

be represented at the Miss Canada Pageant. The city received coast-to-coast publicity when the Cornwall entry, Barbara Markham, was crowned Miss Canada.

BACK IN 1957 – A family of seven was homeless after fire destroyed a Cumberland Street basement apartment. Branch 297 of the Royal Canadian Legion was helping the family find new housing and offered to pay the first month’s rent.

Dr. Zbigniew Gorecki , a native of Poland, was named superintendent of the St. Lawrence Sanitorium (now the Islamic Institute) in Glen Walter. He was a much-respected thoracic surgeon. But his life unraveled and in April 1973 he was sentenced to life in prison for shooting to death his estranged wife. They were involved in a child custody battle. ... City council protested the decision to dismantle the New York Central rail line between Ottawa and Cornwall (the station was on Second Street West just east of Hoople Avenue). The city’s industrial commission said using a more time-consuming Canadian Pacific line to connect Cornwall would drive up freight shipping costs. ... How bad was the stray dog problem in Cornwall? City police had to assign two officers to deal with a long list of complaints of dogs running loose. Chief Allan Clarke said the problem was rooted in the annexation of large parts of mostly rural Cornwall Township. Owners of dogs rounded up and sent to the local animal shelter (run by a chap called Skinny) were required to pay a fine before the animals could be released. If unclaimed within four days, the animals were dispatched to dog heaven. ... Glengarry Gardens in Alexandria was packed to the rafters for a June federal election rally. The crowd count was put at 5,000, well over the arena’s capacity. The three Glengarry-Prescott riding candidates speaking at the rally were Osie Villeneuve (Progressive Conservative), Raymond Bruneau (Liberal incumbent) and Rene Bertrand (listed as an

“unofficial” Liberal candidate). ... Clayton Sayyeau, night watchman at Howard Smith Paper Mill, was awarded the $1,000 reward posted for information on the disappearance of Maxville reeve William MacEwan. While patrolling the canal bank at the rear of the mill, Sayyeau spotted the roof of a car. He called police who found the missing man’s body in the car which had been lodged under the canal ice. The driver had gone missing eight weeks earlier. The canal water had been lowered for spring maintenance. ... Deadline for purchase of bicycle licences (50 cents) was May 31. Of the estimated 5,000 two-wheelers in the city, only 1,700 had been registered. ... The 35,000 square foot Ives Bedding plant sitting on three acres was put up for sale. It closed in 1955. It was Canada’s oldest bed manufacturer. ... Cornwall Motor Sales re-opened its used car lot at 623 Pitt St. ... Cornwall native Ed Rowe of Clarkson College Golden Knights hockey team was named all-American. He was the fifth highest scorer in the eastern conference. (Rowe later became an executive with General Electric in Peterborough. He spent 24 years with the Peterborough Petes junior hockey organization, serving as president and governor. He died in June 2010. He was inducted into the Cornwall

Sports Hall of Fame and Clarkson Hall of Fame). ... The city turned the former township administration building on St. Felix Street into a sub-fire station. The building also included the social services department headed by the no-nonsense Frances Flanigan. In an interview she said, “People think that we only look after the lazy guy who won’t work. That’s only part of what we do.” ... The Church of Good Shepherd’s 75-year-old bell tower was torn down. Rotted timber beams made it unsafe. THIS AND THAT Note to last October’s municipal election candidate Gerry Samson: might be time to remove campaign sign dangling on utility pole at traffic circle. ... New York City has 20,000 municipal vacancies. Almost half are in child support services.

TRIVIA This Cornwall landmark built in the late 1800s at a cost of $45,000, was torn down in 1955 to make way for a more “modern” building.

TRIVIA ANSWER In the 1971 municipal election, Ed Lumley upset incumbent Nick Kaneb. Third person on the ballot was Roy Brunet, a real estate broker and former alderman.

Weaving Baskets Group Partners with Food Cycle Science to Pilot Innovative Food and Bioplastic Waste Solution

Cornwall, ON—Weaving Baskets Group (WBG) is proud to announce a project partnership with Food Cycle Science (FCS), one of Canada’s leading cleantech companies. The project is designed to encourage the reduction and replacement of single-use plastics in the food sector and WBG has signed on to pilot the “one-bin” technology at the Cornwall Square’s Food Hall, currently undergoing a $1.2M redevelopment.

WBG was on hand at the special event held at the FSC headquarters in Ottawa late last week announcing the recent $1.6M project investment from the Canadian Food Innovation Network (CFIN) as part of their Food Innovation Challenge. With these funds, the Ottawa-based cleantech company will continue developing their technology for applying enzymes to their FoodCyclerTM system.

“This is a major milestone for Food Cycle Science and a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation,” said Bradley

Crepeau, Founding Partner and CEO at FSC. “The collaborative efforts of all involved will help us advance our research and development, enabling us to continue making a positive impact on the environment and the communities we serve.”

“One of the biggest challenges quick service restaurants face is dealing with food and plastic waste,” said

Dale Allen, Director of Business Development at Weaving Baskets Group.

“This partnership allows us to address the waste challenges right at the source, reduces the load on our local landfill, and allows us to promote sustainability in the food sector.”

Once the “one-bin” commercial system is market-ready, WBG will look to implement it in its new Food Hall. This solution will rapidly degrade food waste and bioplastics, turn this into a beneficial soil amendment, and empower WBG to contribute to the circular food economy.

Letters to the Editor

info@seawaynews.media

I am writing in reaction to a Letter to the Editor submitted in your last Seaway News edition by Kelly Bergeron.

Her frustration with city employees and city departments was very evident but she failed to be specific on the city department(s) she experienced her negative interactions. Instead she painted all city employees with the same brush. Totally unfair.

In my years representing the residents of Cornwall or volunteering on various city committees I have witnessed the professional

and courteous manner our city employees interact with the residents. There have been isolated incidents that have come to the attention of the various city managers or the CAO and they were dealt with accordingly.

My recommendation to Kelly is to either contact the Mark Boileau (CAO) or the Mayor and have a conversation with either or both to assist in resolving her concern(s). I am sure you will be surprised with the positive reception and results.

Glen G. Grant

Sun. Jun. 9, 1974 – At 730 am we checkedin at nearby campsite to take advantage of all the conveniences a good campsite offers to vanners: a shower, laundry and washing the dishes.

Mon. June 10: It had rained all night. In the morning, as soon as the sliding door rumbled open, a little kitten struggled to get into our van. Impulsively, I asked, “Do you want to try your luck travelling with us?” She wouldn’t leave, so…

We parked for the day in Piazza Michelangelo. We let the cat sleep curled up, snuggled on a shelf under the dash. Down the steep Viale dei Colli we biked each day. Upon our return, having slept all day, she was a bundle of playful energy all evening.

Tue. June 11 – day 333: Kitty opted to spend the whole day playing in the dense bushes next to our parked van. Unfortunately, she’s not toilet trained; she’s soiled a pillow, our blanket and my wife’s nylon jacket.

Because of that, she was put out for the night. In the morning we found her sleeping under the tarp that protected our bicycles

that were secured to the rear bumper bike rack.

June 14 evening: When we returned from our day as museum-hopping bike-touring tourists, we found the cat lying dead. There was no injury or plausible cause of her sudden death. We cried till our eyes were red.

Our cute, pretty, frail, trusting, docile, attentive, ever-alert, good company, wanting company, faithful, reliable, playful, more than forgiving, innocent and irreplaceable kitty was no more.

We had decided to take her back to Canada with us. Now it sleeps in Italian soil. As SaintExupery once wrote, “You are responsible for what you tame.”

Vienna was calling. That’s where the next chapter of my ‘forever cat’ story took place.

Seaway Valley Theatre Company Brings Back

Leading Ladies

KRYSTINE THERRIAULT ktherriault@seawaynews.media

Members of the Seaway Valley Theatre Company are currently amping up rehearsals before the May 12 opening night of their hys terically funny 2023 spring comedy, Leading Ladies, by Ken Ludwig.

‘It’s 1952. Jack Gable and Leo Clark, (Michael DeWolfe and Mike Chatelain), two down on their luck Shakespearean actors treading the Moose Lodge circuit in rural Pennsylvania, hear that an old lady (Mari Cheffer) is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost nephews. They hatch a plot to swindle her out of the cash by posing as her beloved relatives, only to discover that they’re not actually nephews, but nieces! High jinks, romantic entanglements, and plenty of confu sion all ensue as the pair of fashion-challenged con artists’ best laid plans go hilariously awry.’

Leading Ladies is produced by SVTC President Lise Richer and directed by Cathy Durham, who directed the same play for SVTC 10 years ago.

“It was so successful – as were all of our Ken Ludwig plays – we had our very first soldout show,” reminisced Durham, who has staged other works of Ludwig’s including Lend Me a Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo, and A Comedy of Tenors, “It’s a very funny show. Even us watching the shenanigans and the antics of them. I mean, we know the storyline very well and we’re just cracking right up.”

The theatre company held auditions for Leading Ladies in January before wrapping up The Sound of Music. Included in the cast are Alison Latimer as Meg, Bethany Lynn as

Alzheimer Society Launches Project Lifesaver

Cornwall, ON, April 26th, 2023 – The Alzheimer Society of Cornwall & District, in collaboration with the Hawkesbury, Russell and SD&G Ontario Provincial Police, Cornwall and Akwesasne Police, are launching their newest initiative Project Lifesaver, to protect and quickly locate people living with dementia who get lost. This program is now available to residents living in Prescott-Russell, StormontDundas-Glengarry, Cornwall, and Akwesasne.

Project Lifesaver uses technology to assist in the search and rescue efforts for those who wander and get lost. It has been proven to greatly reduce the search time for police – this timely response can prevent your loved one from harm.

Those who are at high risk of getting lost receive a bracelet transmitter, with a unique frequency. When they get lost, a locator housed with Police Services is used to find that unique frequency.

For eligibility, participants must:

• Have a confirmed or presumptive diagnosis of dementia or related disorder;

• Be at high risk for wandering;

• Have daily contacts with a caregiver or family member;

• Be restricted from operating a motor vehicle; and

• Live in Prescott-Russell, StormontDundas-Glengarry, Cornwall, or Akwesasne.

Project Lifesaver equipment requires daily monitoring by a care partner. Regular visits by an Alzheimer Society staff for equipment maintenance is included as part of the program.

For all inquiries about Project Lifesaver, call the Alzheimer Society of Cornwall & District at (613) 932-4914 or toll-free at 1 (888) 2221445. You can also visit the office Monday –Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 106B Second St. W., Cornwall, Ontario.

Bartle sisters make history for Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation

Amy Gillespie

Your CCH Checkup

CORNWALL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL FOUNDATION

Born in 1918 and 1923, raised on a farm in Finch, and established in Cornwall until their deaths in 2019 and 2021, Minnie and Rhoda Bartle lived modest lives, but left a legacy that will change the course of CCHF’s history. With Rhoda’s passing, Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation recently became the primary beneficiary of their estates, with a landmark gift of $2.5 million dedicated to the future of local patient care.

A teacher at Cornwall’s Central Public School, Rhoda lived a quiet life in Dover Heights with Minnie, a typist and talented painter. Members of Trinity Anglican Church, the sisters valued compassion and community, making regular donations to CCHF over the course of their lives. No one expected the sisters to leave the largest one-time estate received by the Foundation since its inception in 2004.

I recently sat down with Sandra Copeland-Herrington, Rhoda and Minnie’s caregiver and the executor of their estates, to learn more about her experiences with the sisters.

“Rhoda was my first-grade teacher, and

we sang together in the Trinity Church Choir. She impacted my life, and we reconnected when I moved back to Cornwall in 1981,” said Ms. CopelandHerrington. “Rhoda didn’t have children of her own – she and Minnie never married – but she treated me like a daughter. Being their caregiver meant a lot to me. I’m happy I could make sure their estate was executed as they wanted, helping make our hospital and community stronger.”

The impact of the Bartle legacy represents an incredible opportunity for the Foundation to support CCH. We look forward to further updating our community, but are pleased to share overarching plans for the estate:

• On the horizon: a new CT scan – a million dollars will be allocated to the future purchase of a new CT scan machine. Offering local CT scans is a crucial service, providing diagnostic imaging that can change and save local lives. From the Emergency Department to units across CCH, patients rely on this essential equipment, and the current machine is nearing the end of its lifespan. Not covered by government funding, CCHF can now afford to fund a new machine thanks to Rhoda and Minnie’s philanthropy.

• CCHF Forever – a million dollars will establish a charitable reserve fund,

Working together on local projects

allowing the Foundation to build more resources supporting CCH’s needs into the future. State-of-the-art medical equip ment is exceptionally expensive, costs continue to grow, and most machinery is not government funded. Over time, other donors may contribute to the reserve fund, helping CCHF further enable excep tional care.

• Support for Mental Health Services – two hundred thousand dollars will be allocated between CCH’s Assertive Community Treatment Team (ACTT), a mobile program for individuals who experience serious mental illness and require ongoing intensive treatment, and St. Denis Centre, a 16-bed supportive addiction treatment facility for men aged 18 and over, run by CCH.

Estates take time, require strong atten tion to detail, a myriad of executor responsibilities, and exceptional support from legal and financial teams. Additional allocations will be made when final estate residuals are received by CCHF.

“The Bartle sisters always supported the Hospital Foundation, and Rhoda and I often spoke about our appreciation of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who provide compassionate care,” said Copeland-Herrington.

“Having been a caregiver and working in pastoral care for many years, I’m inspired

CELEBRATING THE MANY ROLES THAT NURSES PLAY IN A PATIENT’S HEALTH-CARE JOURNEY

National Nursing Week event

In honour of National Nursing Week (May 8-14, 2023), a group of nursing associations from across Canada has joined forces to launch the #HeyNurse social media campaign.

This campaign is aimed at the public and gives them a chance to tell a nurse or a group of nurses how much they are appreciated for their work.

Is there a nurse you want to give a shout out to? How has a nurse made an impact in your life? Tell us about your experience and how a nurse was there for you.

OUR NURSES. OUR FUTURE.

NATIONAL NURSING WEEK MAY 8-14 2023

ONA Celebrates Nursing Week 2023

This Nursing Week 2023, May 8-14, we are not only recognizing the professionalism and dedication of ONA’s registered nurse (RN), registered practical nurse (RPN) and nurse practitioner (NP) members, we are also marking ONA’s 50th anniversary.

You can see this reflected in our Nursing Week theme:

Lasting Impact, Forging Our Future / Créer un impact durable, bâtir notre avenir.

ONA was formed in October 1973 with

the amalgamation of several small bargaining units. Nurses stood together and formed a union dedicated to fighting for their profession and for our health care. Since that time, we have seen amazing progress in our collective fight for safer workplaces, better compensation and high quality, safe care for patients, residents and clients in hospitals, long-term care facilities, community health, public health, home care and industry and clinics across Ontario.

Today, we continue to face many chal-

lenges as a profession. These realities call on each of us to act collectively through our union to continue the fight for better. When nurses unite to fight for better health care, we are unstoppable. We are laying the groundwork for our future – and we are stronger collectively than ever before. This Nursing Week, we honour nurses who continue to provide care every day. In a year where we are celebrating 50 years of union solidarity, let’s make our voices heard, continue to build our union and stand strong and united.

Nursing: a career filled with opportunity and reward!

Nurses are the backbone of our health-care system. According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, they account for almost half of the country’s medical workforce, with more than 410,000 registered nurses nationwide. Every year, National Nursing Week (taking place from May 8 to 14, 2017) celebrates these professionals for their dedication and commitment to the health of all Canadians.

Are you interested in a rewarding career that offers endless opportunity for profes sional growth? Here’s why you should consider nursing!

What do nurses do?

Nurses work in a variety of areas, includ ing direct and preventative care, research, education and administration. They admin ister treatment to patients in large hospitals as well as in small neighbourhood clinics.

Nurses facilitate recovery from injury and illness by bringing a human touch to the health-care system.

They educate families in northern, rural, urban and ethnic communities on healthy child rearing practices. They participate in the administration of hospitals to ensure optimal care for all patients. They review cases, test hypotheses and make recommendations for more positive health outcomes. Ultimately, nurses are leaders in the healthcare field, paving the way for countless lifetimes of good health.

Where do nurses work?

Between community health clinics, schools, rehabilitation centres, doctors’ offices and public hospitals, registered nurses provide their valuable knowledge and support in a variety of practice settings. Without them, Canada’s ERs, ORs and ICUs would struggle to provide lifesaving care. But beyond helping patients achieve a full recovery, nurses bring relief from injury and illness by adding a human touch to the health-care experience.

Whether you enjoy working with children, manipulating high-tech equipment or developing your management skills, a bright future awaits when you choose a career in nursing!

HOROSCOPE

WEEK OF MAY 7 TO 13, 2023

You’ll start planning your summer holidays. You have no intention of missing out on fun adventures with your friends and family.

Whether it’s about your relationship or your job, you may feel the need to run away. You feel impulsive and a little confused this week.

You’ll struggle to create peace between people or groups with opposing interests. You’ll find the right words to work miracles and ensure everyone understands each other.

It’s time to get rid of toxic friends who are draining your energy. Take some me-time and spoil yourself with a natural therapy like a massage or facial.

LEO: Self-esteem is essential to achieve success. You’ll be proud if you can convince yourself to accomplish a brilliant feat.

VIRGO: You’ll devote time and energy to a family member and your home. You’ll be inspired to take a new approach to life, including learning to live in the present moment.

LIBRA: You’ll be outspoken this week. Be careful not to give away any secrets. You could be dealing with someone who doesn’t speak the same language as you, and communica ting with them could prove rather difficult.

SCORPIO: You’ll find the financial means to undertake a significant project. Whether buying a property or starting a business, the stars will align. Many people will listen to what you have to say.

SAGITTARIUS: Make reservations now for summer break. You’re looking forward to an adventure that takes place far from home. Be mindful of the preparations, such as passports.

CAPRICORN: If you’re feeling more tired than usual, it’s a sign you need to slow down. Get enough sleep to recharge your batteries.

You’ll find your perfect person and fall in love at first sight. You’ll carve out more time for your social life, even if you feel exhausted and stressed.

You’ll be given significant responsibilities at work. Even if you find them difficult, they’ll provide excellent prospects, and a promotion will come soon enough.

4 workplace personality types and how to motivate them

A positive workplace culture celebrates the unique strengths of each team member. Here are four basic workplace personalities and how to recognize and motivate them.

1. Amiable: The amiable colleague prefers harmony over conflict. Their friendly nature creates a sense of emotional safety. They may

become passive-aggressive when a dispute arises, so achieving a resolution can be challenging. Kindness and empathy are essential to motivating your amiable colleague. When they feel safe to express their opinions freely, you may gain valuable insight into the needs of your entire staff.

2. Analytical: The analytical worker is orderly and approaches tasks with a well-formulated plan. They work well alone and have keen attention to detail. They’re often prone to indecisiveness and can be overcritical of others. The analytical colleague delivers results when presented with a specific problem and given time to think through a solution.

3. Driver: The driver is an energetic leader. They’re an asset because they get the job done and quickly move on to the next task. Their keen focus sometimes seems like a lack of empathy, which can demotivate other

Are you passionate about your community?

Are you seeking ways to contribute to your community?

colleagues. The driver needs little external motivation, but your productivity may improve when they’re reminded of the value their coworkers bring to the table.

4. Expressive: The expressive worker is quick-witted, generating excitement and enthusiasm within the organization or with clients and investors. A lack of organization or follow-through may offset their creativity and sociability, so they’re best balanced with more results-driven personalities. To harness their superpower, mirror their enthusiasm and engage their interest in your business goals.

Beyond21’s Jail and Bail Back in 2023

After a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19, Beyond21’s fourth edition of the Jail and Bail fundraiser returned to Cornwall Square on April 26, 2023. People may have noticed an increase in police presence at the mall that day, as well as the Jail and Bail set up in the space where Children’s Place used to be.

Over the course of the morning and

afternoon, nominated citizens were arrested by members of the Cornwall Police Service and transported to Cornwall Square. Next, the prisoners had to raise money for their bail, a preset amount, all of which would be donated to Beyond21.

A few prisoners included the unsuspecting Mayor Justin Towndale and Executive Director of Centre105s Taylor Seguin. Others participated virtually (an option offered for the first

Township of South Glengarry Glen Walter Water Tower & Watermain Replacement NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE

Project Background

In January, 2022, the Township of South Glengarry (Township) completed a Water and Wastewater Servicing Master Plan (Masterplan) for the Glen Walter Area to serve the projected population growth to Year 2051. Following up on the Masterplan recommendations, the Township is proceeding to design of an elevated water tank, watermain replacement/extension/ looping and water treatment plant reservoir rehabilitation. The Masterplan identified a general location for the water tank; however, the height and type of tank and more specific site information was not provided. Therefore it was determined the extra level of detail about the new elevated water tank should be presented to stakeholders prior to detailed design.

How to Get Involved

Public consultation is a key component of the process. A Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held to present and obtain public input on the alternative options, evaluation process and the preliminary preferred solution.

The PIC is scheduled as follows:

Date: Tuesday May 16, 2023

Time: 2:00 – 4:00PM & 5:30 – 7:30PM

Location: Glen Walter Fire Station 1

Address: 6650 Bray Street, Cornwall, ON K6H 5R5 (Parking at front & rear of building)

All those interested in the project are urged to attend. Project information will also be available to the public on the Municipality’s website, https://www.southglengarry.com. For further information regarding the project please contact either of the following members of the study team:

time this year), had a heads up that they would be picked up, or came to the ‘jail’ to surrender.

Beyond21 Founder Tish Humphries’ daughter Emma participated as well!

“It was surprising because I didn’t know it was happening, I think last time I got a heads up,” said Mayor Towndale who participated in the event once before, “It’s kind of in the middle of the workday but its good. [Beyond21 is] a great organization that’s doing great work in

the community and I am happy to support anytime.”

Members of the Cornwall Police Service happily volunteered their time for the day, making a show of arresting people around town.

Cornwall Police Services’ Chief Shawna Spowart was brought in and raised $2,010 for Beyond21. Students from CCVS provided homemade refreshments for the Beyond21 team and event participants.

Buying a home “As-Is” can be risky but in this market, it could be a better option for some buyers especially when housing supply is low.

Buying “As-Is” means that you will purchase the home exactly the way it is and that the Seller will not be making nor be responsible for any improvements or repairs before or after closing. What you see is what you get but what you need to understand is what you do not see is also what you get. It is a very wise move to have a home inspection completed in this case so that you know exactly what repairs, if any, will be required and what that would cost you. You can then make an informed decision on whether to purchase or walk away.

Not all homes marked for sale “As-Is” mean that they have something wrong with them. Most often with an estate sale, the Executor/Beneficiary of the estate is selling the home and may have never lived in it and thus not know or be prepared financially to fix any problems

that the home may have. The Sellers may be elderly and just wanting to move on to the next phase of their life and seek an easy transaction. It may also be in foreclosure and now owned by the bank/lender and of course, the bank/lender will not know what could potentially be wrong with the home. The benefit is that these particular situations make for quick closings.

Buying a home “As-Is” for the handy person opens up many opportunities, especially the pricing. If you know that you will be stripping the home and renovating it then “As-Is” is not a deterrent and because work will need to be done, it could mean the Sellers may lower the price. I cannot stress enough that a home inspection should be done so that there is a clear, concise knowledge of what exactly needs to be repaired, especially structurally, otherwise this could be a huge financial burden and a rabbit hole you don`t want to go down.

In conclusion, buying a home “As-Is” can be a good option for some homebuyers, but it is important to weigh the risks and benefits before making a decision. With careful research and the help of a trusted real estate agent, you can find the right home for your needs and budget.

Prayer to St. Jude

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved through the world now and for ever. Sacred Heart of Jesus pray for us. St. Jude worker of miracles pray for us.

Say this prayer six times per day for nine days. By the ninth day your prayer will be answered.

How much longer do we have to tolerate that unsightly excuse for a fence on the corner of Montreal Road and Belmont. A disgrace to our beautiful city. Why has the city not addressed the many complaints raised on this issue? ENOUGH!

Jane in Bonville wants to share a story. I took my car to garage and they had a young lad working there, someone I call an upseller. He proceeded to put lifters under my car to lift it. He put lifters on my car frame instead of steel parts and lifted my car causing great damage to my car. All dented parts at front and back, now, this area is totally rusted. Of course, at the time I was oblivious to this, but did see where he put lifter things. Since then, I NEVER take my eyes off my car at any garage. Say I can’t stay in this area for insurance reasons, I leave, be vigilant, it pays off.

The Square is a changing! Have we got events for you?

Leo Doucet NEWS FROM THE SQUARE

Did you know that this week is Tim Hortons “SMILE COOKIE “week, May 1st to May 7th. Join the crowd and complement your double-double with a couple or more SMILE COOKIES, YUM!

Did you know that these past 2 weeks, for some reason, the Cornwall Square washrooms required triple the normal amount of TP and hand soap that we normally use. Perhaps the morning crowd, occupying the sidewalk on the east side of Sydney Street and north side of Water Street, and who seemed to migrate over to Tim Hortons in the Square’s Food Court, needed more than their cup of java fill up. Relief…. Aaah!

that last Tuesday I was lucky enough to be included in the test group for Cornwall Square Quick Service Mexican Restaurant “Juntos” . Yummy! Yummy! The Taco fillings, which are all fresh and developed by Chef Luke and his team are simply divine, you are in for some serious culinary delight when the Food Court opens in the latter part of June.

Cornwall Square welcomed back its spring season avian nester once again. This past week saw the return of Cornwall Square’s duck. Upon her arrival, Molly started to build this year’s nest as a prelude to laying her eggs which, in due time, will hatch and the new family will then waddle over to the river via Lamoureux park. Ah! Spring 2023 has arrived.

Thank you Aultsville Theatre…Get ready for an unforgettable evening of jazz and soul, as the Cornwall Concert Series brings the incredible Heather Bambrick Quintet to the Aultsville Theatre stage on May 6th! With her enchanting voice and captivating stage presence, Juno-nominated jazz vocalist Heather Bambrick will take you on a musical journey, accompanied by her talented Quintet. From smooth ballads to upbeat classics, you’ll be grooving in your seat all night long!

JOKE OF THE WEEK

“Why do seagulls fly over the ocean?”

“Because if they flew over the bay, we’d call them bagels.”

Did you know that last Wednesday, Beyond 21 held their “Jail and Bail” here at Cornwall Square and it was a great fundraising success. Customers were puzzled and wondered what criminal activity had befallen the Square. We congratulate Beyond 21 on their event.

Did you know that Cornwall Square will sponsor a Mother’s Day contest again this year. This year’s theme is “The Most valuable lesson I learned from my mom is……” in 2 sentences or less. We will have a Mother’s Day display at Centre Court on the main level where people can take a selfie with their Mom and leave their contest entry. See our Ad in next week’s edition.

Did you know that on Saturday May 13th “DISCO WHEELS2”, a roller-skating experience will take place here at Cornwall Square on the upper level of the former Sears store. This event is an after-mall-hours activity that will take place between 5:30 pm and 11:00pm, consisting of 3 separate 90 minute segments with the first from 5:30pm to 7:00pm, the second from 7:30pm to 9:00pm both for families and the last from 9:30pm to 11:00pm for adults. For tickets, visit the event website, WWW.DISCOWHEELS2.COM

Did you know that on Saturday June 3rd and Sunday June 4th, 2023 , the Dream Maker Productions team will perform a series of short plays from different Robert Munsch stories as well as other children’s stories. In addition, there will be a short magic show. This family entertainment will be held in the former EB Games space with Saturday performances at 11:00am and 1:00pm and Sunday’s performance at 1:00pm. Everyone is welcome.

Cornwall, ON, 26 avril 2023 – La Société Alzheimer Cornwall et Région, en collaboration avec la Police Provinciale de l’Ontario de Hawkesbury, Russell et le SD&G et les forces policières de Cornwall & Akwesasne, lance sa toute nouvelle initiative « Projet Lifesaver ». Ce projet consiste à protéger et localiser rapidement les personnes vivant avec un trouble neurocognitif qui se perdent. Ce projet est maintenant disponible aux résidents de Prescott-Russell, Stormont-DundasGlengarry, Cornwall, et Akwesasne.

Le « Projet Lifesaver » utilise une assistance technologique dans les efforts de recherche pour les personnes qui errent et se perdent. Il a été prouvé qu’il réduisait considérablement le temps de recherche; cette réponse rapide aide à prévenir le risque que votre proche se blesse.

Les personnes qui sont à risque de se perdent, reçoivent un bracelet transmetteur muni d’une fréquence unique. Lorsqu’une personne se perd, un localisateur est utilisé par les services policiers pour trouver cette fréquence unique.

Critères de participation:

• Avoir un diagnostic confirmer d’un trouble neurocognitif ou autres maladies apparentées;

• Être à risque d’errance;

• Avoir un contact journalier avec un proche aidant ou un membre de la famille;

• Être interdit de conduire un véhicule à moteur; et

• Être résident de Prescott-Russell, Stormont-Dundas-Glengarry, Cornwall, ou d’Akwesasne.

L’équipement du « Projet Lifesaver » nécessite une surveillance quotidienne d’un partenaire de soins. Des visites régulières d’un intervenant de la Société Alzheimer pour l’entretien de l’équipement fait aussi parti de ce programme.

Pour toutes informations concernant le « Projet Lifesaver » veuillez contacter la Société Alzheimer de Cornwall et Région au (613) 932-4914 ou sans frais au 1 (888) 2221445. Vous pouvez également vous rendre au bureau du lundi au vendredi de 8 h 30 à 4 h 30; 106B rue Second Ouest, Cornwall, ON.

Semaine de la santé mentale (1-7 mai 2023)

L’ACSM Champlain-Est vous invite à vous joindre à nous lors de la cérémonie du lever du drapeau pour célébrer la Semaine de la santé mentale 2023. Nous mettrons en lumière les champions, les programmes et les communautés de soins de santé mentale communautaires, tout en soulignant l’importance de la façon dont les soins de santé mentale peuvent être exprimés et nourris par l’art, les photos, la musique, la danse, le mouvement et la nature.

Nos histoires renferment les soins de santé mentale dont nous avons tous besoin.

La narration est un élément fondamental de l’être humain. Les histoires aident à créer des liens et des communautés solides. Le récit, sous toutes ses formes, soutient la santé mentale et réduit la stigmatisation. Cette année, la semaine de la santé mentale amplifiera les voix des personnes locales en diffusant un message d’espoir.

Nos histoires font notre humanité De nombreuses dimensions et histoires nous caractérisent en tant qu’individus et en tant que collectivité. Chaque année, une personne sur cinq au Canada aura un trouble mental ou un problème de santé mentale, mais cinq personnes sur cinq, c’est-à-dire l’ensemble de la population, ont une santé mentale. Le fait de partager nos expériences et nos histoires favorise la compréhension réciproque tout en nous ouvrant à différentes visions du monde. Nous diffusons nos histoires sous différentes formes – à l’oral et à l’écrit, à travers la musique et les arts plastiques, en mouvement, dans la nature, et plus encore.

La mise en récit soutient la santé mentale et réduit la

stigmatisation

Le fait de partager nos expériences et nos histoires, particulièrement dans les moments difficiles, peut avoir un effet bénéfique sur notre propre santé mentale et rappeler aux personnes qui nous entourent qu’elles ne sont pas seules. Les histoires de courage sont réconfortantes pour les personnes qui ont des problèmes de santé mentale. Elles suscitent un sentiment de communauté et contribuent ainsi à atténuer l’isolement. La vulnérabilité qui se dégage de nos histoires donne à celles et ceux qui les entendent l’espoir, le courage et la force de surmonter leurs propres difficultés. L’exposition aux expériences des autres, par l’entremise de la mise en récit, permet de déstigmatiser les problèmes de santé mentale et de sensibiliser la population à des enjeux importants. Elle encourage par ailleurs les personnes qui en ont besoin à demander de l’aide et du soutien.

La campagne annuelle de l’Association canadienne pour la santé mentale : La

Semaine de la santé mentale

Savez-vous que chaque année, en mai, des gens de partout au Canada se rallient autour de la Semaine de la santé mentale de l’ACSM? La semaine du 1er au 7 mai 2023 marquera la 72e édition annuelle de cet événement tenu pour la première fois au Canada en 1951. La Semaine de la santé mentale est une campagne de transformation sociale visant à sensibiliser le public et à modifier les croyances et les perceptions au sujet de la santé mentale. L’événement fait la promotion des comportements et attitudes qui favorisent le bien-être et contribuent au maintien d’une bonne santé mentale ainsi qu’à l’émergence d’une culture de compréhension et d’acceptation. Le thème de l’édition de 2023 est MON HISTOIRE.

La Semaine de la santé mentale 2023 et MON HISTOIRE attireront l’attention sur les programmes communautaires de santé mentale, sur nos communautés et sur les voix qui s’élèvent. Elle démontrera aussi pourquoi il importe de rendre les soins de santé mentale universels et quelle forme cette universalité pourrait prendre. Elle illustrera enfin comment nous pouvons prendre soin de la santé mentale, et comment les soins de santé mentale peuvent se manifester.

Participez à la Semaine de la santé mentale!

• Tendez une oreille attentive et offrez votre soutien aux personnes qui partagent leur histoire avec vous. La vulnérabilité et la force qui émanent de ces interactions ne peuvent qu’être bénéfiques.

• Partagez votre propre histoire avec une personne qui vous est chère et contribuez ainsi à déstigmatiser la conversation entourant la santé mentale.

• Apprenez-en plus sur les types de soutien en santé mentale. Découvrez comment ils peuvent vous aider ou aider quelqu’un dans votre communauté.

• Assurez-vous de comprendre (ce qui distingue) la santé mentale et la maladie mentale.

• Dites merci. Envoyez un message à un programme communautaire ou à une personne qui a appuyé votre cheminement vers la santé mentale.

CMHA CHAMPLAIN EAST

Il y a 50 ans se dressait une forteresse

En septembre 1970, l’école Saint-Laurent était surpeuplée. Il y avait plus de 1000 élèves francophones et anglophones de la région de Cornwall. Aucune construction n’étant prévue dans les deux prochaines années, le Conseil scolaire accepte le principe de créer deux écoles à l’intérieur du même édifice. Il établit donc un système à relais qui devait durer deux ans, le temps voulu pour obtenir la construction d’une nouvelle école secondaire dans l’est de la ville. Naturellement, il fallait choisir un moyen pour sélectionner les élèves de chaque relais et la solution idéale était de le faire selon la langue d’enseignement. Il fut donc décidé de créer le Saint-Lawrence High School et l’école Saint-Laurent de langue française avec le même directeur responsable des deux écoles.

«Nous la voulons, nous l’aurons»

Au printemps de 1973, les choses se gâtent. On veut prolonger la durée des relais et rien n’est prévu pour indiquer quel groupe d’élèves serait déplacé.

La pression monta et voilà que le gouvernement des élèves du relais français prit les choses en main, en créant le « comité des huit », en convoquant une grande assemblée et, finalement, en déclarant une grève le mercredi 14 mars 1973. Cette grève devait durer jusqu’à la création du comité d’enquête du professeur Thomas Symons qui entreprend ses travaux le 4 avril de la même année.

Le comité des huit, sous la direction de Roger Dubé, premier ministre du gouvernement des élèves, et appuyé par la majorité des parents, réussit à forcer le gouvernement provincial à intervenir. Le rapport Symons est publié le 20 avril et rend justice à la population locale. Le slogan: « Nous la voulons, nous l’aurons » se réalise à la grande joie des Francophones. Le 12 juin 1973, l’école reçoit le nom officiel de « La Citadelle » inspiré des écrits de Saint-Exupéry.

Une nouvelle génération qui marche en 2023

Ce mercredi 10 mai, les élèves marcheront encore une fois. Cette fois-ci pour faire honneur à leurs prédécesseurs et à la lutte qu’ils

ont mené pour l’éducation des jeunes francophones d’aujourd’hui. Le gouvernement des élèves de La Citadelle invite donc tous les membres de la communauté francophone, ancien Patriote et amis, à venir marcher avec eux. Le départ se fera à 12 h à partir de l’entrée principale de l’école secondaire. La marche commencera sur le chemin McConnell (direction nord) et parcourra la 4e rue (direction ouest), le chemin Baldwin (direction sud) et la 2e rue (direction est). Un rassemblement aura lieu à l’arrière de l’école à la fin de la marche.

Vous êtes aussi invités au match de football junior le jeudi 11 mai à 11 h (La Citadelle affrontera l’équipe de Russell).

Nous espérons que vous y serez : Patriote un jour, Patriote toujours.

Après une bonne nuit de sommeil (et de jeûne), ce repas matinal vous permet d’alimenter votre cerveau et vos muscles en énergie, de sorte que vous puissiez réaliser vos tâches jusqu’au dîner. En l’absence de nourriture, votre organisme puise dans ses réserves d’énergie pour fonctionner, ce qui peut entre autres augmenter votre niveau de fatigue.

Pour améliorer vos performances

Le déjeuner a un impact direct sur vos capacités intellectuelles et physiques. Selon une étude réalisée au Royaume-Uni, il permet d’améliorer vos performances mentales dans les matières scolaires, de maximiser votre coordination œil-main et de diminuer votre niveau d’anxiété, ce qui augmente votre productivité en général.

Que ce soit à la maison, sur le pouce ou au restaurant, déjeuner, c’est toujours important!

Pour le bien de votre santé

En plus de vous inciter à grignoter durant la matinée en raison de fringales, sauter le déjeuner peut augmenter vos risques de développer de l’obésité, de l’hypertension artérielle ou du diabète. À l’inverse, prendre un premier repas nourrissant et équilibré vous encourage à faire des choix plus sains.
