FIRE HALL MOVING nseebruch@seawaynews.media

BIGS BOWLING SUCCESS Little Brother Alex Pond at Olympia Bowling for the 42 annual Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake on Saturday, February 1, 2020. See page 4 for full story.

(Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News).

CORNWALL, Ontario – The public learned for the first time on Monday, Jan. 27 at the Cornwall City Council meeting that the City has purchased land to build a new fire hall.

The proposed fire hall will be located on the northwest corner of Tollgate Rd. and Brookdale Ave. The new fire station will replace the current station located on Fourth St. W. in Cornwall’s downtown.

This would continue Cornwall Fire Services two station model, with the other station located on Second St. E. in the East End. Cornwall Fire Chief Pierre Voisine was challenged by some members of council on response times for this new station, as well as on the public consultation for this process.

“I have heard from no one in the public about response times. I have gotten emails from the President of the Firefighters association,” said Councillor Claude McIntosh.

Voisine said that he had not received any emails about concerns over response times from any member of the public or from the President of the Cornwall Professional Firefighters Association. Voisine did point out however, that according to the Fire Master Plan, moving a fire station to the North End of Cornwall would increase his service’s response time.

Currently, according to Voisine, Cornwall Fire Services are able to respond to calls within six minutes 69 per cent of the time, but

once their new station is built, that response time will increase to 94 per cent.

The total projected cost of the new fire station, including the cost of purchasing the land, is $9,097,262.

Councillor Eric Bergeron objected to the methodology of the project as well as the methodolog y taken during public consultation.

“I think this presentation should have been a year ago. We should have talked how much we needed to spend first and then go out and buy,” he said.

OPINION

Most important meetings of the year 3 MINUTES WITH THE MAYOR BERNADETTE CLEMENT - CITY OF CORNWALL

As you read this column, Cornwall City Council is wrapping up some of the most important meetings of the year.

That’s right: we have been debating the 2020 operating and capital budgets.

I understand that number-crunching is not everyone’s cup of tea – nor is reading 177page budget documents!

Some of what we’ve discussed this week will be visible if work progresses: asphalt resurfacing, bike path construction, new sidewalks, and improved pedestrian crossings.

Some items are more exciting: new play structures, improvements to outdoor recreation facilities, and new buildings.

Other proposals in this budget will not be so visible to residents, but will enhance safety, ensure the long-term health of our facilities and assets, and help staff plan for the future.

A Valentine for Volunteers

Council considered several items regarding the landfill. We heard at a previous meeting that the landfill will be full and ready for decommissioning in about ten years. This is a project we have to think about and prepare for now. We’ll dig deeper into this in the coming months – including the role you and your neighbours can play in extending the life of the landfill.

If you spend only five minutes learning about this year’s proposed budget, I recommend spending time on page 15 (you can find the document at www.Cornwall.ca/budget).

“Proposed tax dollars at work” outlines how your taxes are spent: Transit, for instance, is expected to receive 4.4% of 2020’s tax dollars, with environmental services clocking in at 3.6%, and road repair and snow clearing expected to receive 8% of tax dollars.

These are your services and this is your community. Setting the budget is one of council’s most important talks, because we understand these decisions support quality of life in Cornwall.

Read the budget, talk to a councillor, or watch the recordings at www.Cornwall.ca/ council.

You can make your priorities clear by getting in touch with me: bclement@cornwall.ca or find me on Facebook.

Fire hall moving

Pictured from left-to-right are Cornwall Fire Services Chief Pierre Voisine, Alison Wesley-James, Director of Advisory Services With Colliers Project Leaders, and Surya Pulickal, Senior Advisor for Advisory Services with Collier Project Leaders. Just out of shot on the far right is Cornwall Fire Services Deputy Chief Jeff Weber. The four presented the vision for the new Cornwall fire hall to Council on Monday, January 27, 2020. (Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News).

“I have made that determination and it’s wrong,” Councillor Bergeron responded. “The bullet points said that residents had a strong preference for Brookdale and Thirteenth. This is not that. I’m very disappointed in this presentation and oppose this fire hall.”

Representatives from Colliers Project Leaders, the consulting firm hired by the City to complete the study of the new fire hall defended the process saying that this was typical of how such projects were organized

in other municipalities.

Cornwall Mayor Bernadette Clement said that she supported the new fire hall, but that she felt that better public consultation in the future was something that should be focused on.

The new fire hall is planned to be 16,00 sq. ft. with facilities for training in hazardous material, vehicle extraction, vehicle fires and other training areas.

Bergeron pointed to the low turn out to a public consultation held in 2018 about the new fire hall. According to the report, only 36 people attended the public consultation, Bergeron stated that 30 of that 36 were firefighters and that two more were himself and his wife. Bergeron further pointed to the fact that the report states that 32 of the 36 attendees were opposed to the fire hall being built on the corner of Tollgate Rd. and Brookdale Ave. “Where is the data coming from saying that there was a strong preference to the location on the Brookdale and Tollgate,” Bergeron asked Chief Voisine.

Voisine explained that there was a strong preference for a fire hall in the northwest quadrant of the city. The study for the new fire hall looked at seven different locations along Brookdale Ave. determining that Brookdale and Thirteenth St. was the most preferred location, but was not feasible because no land was available.

“Was there a strong preference for Brookdale Ave. and Tollgate,” pressed Bergeron.

Voisine responded that there was a fairly positive preference for a fire hall in the northwest quadrant of the city.

“At that time, we were looking at the Northwest quadrant of the city. We were looking at different options at the time. You have the feedback and you can make that determination for yourself,” he said.

“Anything over $50,000 is a good day, and Cornwall on Saturday, Feb. 1, 2020 at Olympia so far we are having a good day,” Murphy said.

In addition to the event’s title sponsor, Tim Horton’s, other community businesses and organizations contributed and supported Bowl for Kid’s Sake through sponsorships. Some sponsors included Dr. Navaneelan, TruLocal, Kinsmen Cornwall, the Cornwall Optimists Club, Cornwall Rotary Club, Sunrise Rotary Club and more.

This year’s honourary chair for the event was Edith Sturgeon. Edith has mentored eight different Littles through BBBS Cornwall.

The money raised by Tim Horton’s Bowl for Kids Sake will go towards BBBS Cornwall’s mentorship program.

“When youth have a mentor, their grades go up, their self-esteem goes up, they form relationships and I think they become better citizens,” said Ron Graham, the Executive Director of BBBS Cornwall. “I had such a great relationship with my Big Brother, that I wanted to pass the same thing on to my Little.”

There are currently roughly 100 kids on BBBS Cornwall’s mentorship waiting list.

New Youth Hub opens in Cornwall NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The City of Cornwall’s department of Social and Housing Services has partnered with Youth Wellness Hubs Ontario (YWHO) to offer services at their new Youth Hub in Cornwall.

Located at 212 Pitt St., the hub promises to provide mental health counselling, addiction counselling, employment help, nurse practitioner, library activities, and a nurse clinic.

The Cornwall site is one of two Youth Hubs opening in the Eastern Champlain region. The second Youth Hub opened in Rockland on Jan. 27.

“YWHO sites provide young people between the ages of 12 and 25 with timely access to a constellation of services, including mental

health and addiction services, primary care, and various community and social support services. Services are offered using an integrated, stepped care approach that has been co-developed with youth,” reads a statement on the YWHO website.

The Cornwall Youth Hub will be open from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday to Thursday, with staff from Social and Housing Services Cornwall on-site from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m on Thursdays.

Social and Housing Services Cornwall will provide guidance on housing, childcare, Ontario Works, and other services they may need.

“Our hope is to make services more accessible by creating the opportunity for youth to ask questions face to face in a comfortable environment,” said Stacey Ferguson, administrator of Social and Housing Services.

Transition Cornwall+ recognized for supporting sustainability NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Transition Cornwall+, an organization dedicated to finding and implementing sustainable practices and programs in Cornwall, was recently recognized for their efforts with a 2019 Sustainability Star.

The Sustainability Stars were created in 2017 to recognize businesses and other organizations who were making efforts towards a more sustainable world. The award was created and is bestowed by Sustainable Eastern Ontario, a network of 350 groups from across Eastern Ontario dedicated to finding environmentally

friendly solutions to the world’s problems.

“We were surprised to learn about the Sustainability Star Award” said Lynn Macdonell, Steering Committee Member for Transition Cornwall + who will be receiving the award. “Resiliency and environmental sustainability are central to TC+, and it is so humbling and rewarding to have our work recognized and celebrated with the larger Ontario community.”

For more than 10 years, Transition Cornwall+ has been a strong advocate of initiatives such as sustainable foods, cycling, planting trees, and waste reduction, all with the goal of helping Cornwall do its part to fight the climate emergency.

CORNWALL, Ontario – New Stormont, Dundas, and South Glengarry MP Eric Duncan will continue his predecessor, Guy Lauzon’s policy of holding a free tax clinic for those in need at his office during tax time.

The tax clinic is made possible through a partnership between Duncan’s office and the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP).

“I am thrilled that we are able to continue to accommodate this wonderful service for our constituents. It continues to assist thousands of people at no charge who need their tax returns completed to access important government rebates like the Child Tax Benefit, HST/GST, and others. I am thankful for the dedicated volunteers who have helped make this program such a huge success over the years,” Duncan said.

To qualify, individuals must have an annual household income of less than $35,000 or

$45,000 if filing as a couple.

Complicated returns are not eligible for the program, which includes: • self-employed or have employment expenses • have business or rental income and expenses • have capital gains or losse • filed for bankruptcy in the tax year; or• completing a tax return for a deceased person “The Cornwall CVITP is a group of dedicated people who volunteer their time, knowledge and abilities to help those who are in need in our community. Tax season is a very challenging but rewarding time for us,” said CVITP Coordinator Gary Christiansen.

The clinic is run by volunteers and will open from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. starting Feb. 25.

The clinic will be at Eric Duncan’s constituency office in Cornwall at 691 Brookdale Avenue, Unit C, in the International Business Plaza and is normally opened from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. from Monday to Friday.

Local man pushes for national organ donation opt-out program NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Stormont, Dundas and South Glengarry MP Eric Duncan is partnering with one of his constituents to push for a national organ donation opt-out program.

St. Andrews West resident Myles Lynch lives with cystic fibrosis and has had three lung transplants in the last five years, a first in Canada.

Lynch acknowledges that he was exceptionally lucky in being able to get his transplant and that thousands of Canadians are on a long donation

wait list.

“In my case, I was fortunate enough to have had 3 organ transplants over the last 5 years, but for every exceptional case like mine, there are many others whose time runs about before a good match can be found. I felt it important for me to try and do whatever I can to help many more, and the creation of a national opt-out program could save thousands of lives per year for generations to come” said Lynch.

According to Duncan’s office, there are over 4,500 Canadians currently waiting for an organ transplant, and

that last year, 260 Canadians died while waiting for a donation.

Lynch is organizing a petition to urge the federal government to start a national opt-out program for organ and tissue donation, meaning that Canadians would automatically be registered as donors unless they choose to opt-out.

It’s Black History Month, celebrate it Cornwall NICK SEEBRUCH

8 - Wednesday, February 5, 2020

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

It is February, Black History Month, and Cornwall has a lot to celebrate and remember.

Cornwall and its citizens have made their mark on Black History. Many know the history of Bob Turner, the first black Recreation Director in the history of Canada and Cornwall’s first black employee. More recently, in 2018 Cornwall elected Bernadette Clement the first black female as Mayor in the history of Ontario.

This month, Lee Theodore opened his new Caribbean flavored restaurant on First St., The Spicy Pearl. Lee is an active community organizer in Cornwall, having been involved in several initiatives and prior to opening his restaurant, held Caribbean Dinner Nights at Spinner’s Dinner regularly.

I would hope and would want every resident of Cornwall to know the history of Bob Turner. I myself am learning more about the man all the time.

For example, before he began his tenure with the City of Cornwall, he was a Harlem Globetrotter, and later played for the Chicago White Sox, sharing a distinction with Michael Jordan of playing for both a major basketball team and a major baseball team.

Turner would of course go on to make history through his appointment as Recreation Director in Cornwall, but he was not universally celebrated at the time.

Coming to Cornwall in the 1950s, Turner was almost forced from the city due to hate from racist bigots until members of the student and youth community and the Mayor at the time, Archie Lavigne, passionately advocated for Bob Turner. He did not have to stand alone. Cornwall stood with him.

“He (Mayor Lavigne) went on the radio…when radio was big in this town and told them we would not put up with this in Cornwall,” Councillor Claude McIntosh once said.

This week, it was announced that a community project was launched in the City of Cornwall to create a mural in the downtown to honour Turner’s memory. The project organizer expects to be ready to accept bids from local artists for what this mural would look like by the end of the month, and I expect that its creation will be well underway by the spring.

Finally, Cornwall will have an appropriate and visible symbol that honours this part of Black History and the City’s history.

As I stated, Cornwall continues to make history, and the legacy of Black history in the city which will continue to grow as the community in Cornwall grows.

In late 2019, l’Association des communautés francophones d’SDG (ACFO) held a welcoming event at Olympia Bowling for new members of the French community who had recently arrived in Cornwall.

At that event, I saw many new black residents who had chosen Cornwall as their new home. Whether they come from the Caribbean, or French African countries, Muslim or Christian, their backgrounds were diverse, but many told me that they had chosen Cornwall for the same reasons.

One was because of our growing Francophone community, and the other was because of the warm welcome they received in Cornwall.

“I adore Cornwall,” one mother told me. “It is a very calm and welcoming community.”

This mother came to Cornwall from Haiti, and her then three-month-old son was born here.

During Black History month, we should remember that Black history, is also a part of Cornwall’s shared history and we should remember that, and celebrate that.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

You can’t see the forest because there are no trees Dear Editor, As municipal Politician’s move ever so slowly on adapting a Tree Canopy Policy (which was due March 2019) hundreds of acres of forest with thousands of trees have disappeared forever in our local counties.

Give your local Government a call, ask what they are doing about this situation. Along with the clearing of the land all the species of plants, shrubs and wildlife are displaced or entirely eliminated. Forest cover sequesters carbon dioxide and holds 6 or 7 times the water compared to crop land. Presently there is more moisture in the atmosphere than ever before in recorded history, which results in more severe storms and damage resulting from them.

Roaming highly skilled packs of coyotes are more easily making their kills with bush lots reducing in size and numbers. Probably they will be wandering into town limits for food as more hunting territory disappears.

Many young Canadians gave their lives fighting the Nazi Regime liberating many European Countries. As a result the next generation of Canadian farmers were greatly reduced causing lands to be gifted to families of European decent (we are all of European decent). Sadly the mindset that trees are just big weeds came across the ocean with us.

When will man learn from his mistakes, ie.

Over fishing of cod, thousands of bison killed for the thrill, salmon stocks greatly reduced, contamination of rivers, lakes and streams,

extinction or huge reduction in numbers of hundreds of species of animals, fish and insects. We have to find a balance of co-existence, we should be in it together.

Quebec has taken steps to prevent soil erosion by maintaining tree lines, these tree corridors also provide shelter for animals and birds. Don’t let tree lines that you share with your neighbour disappear, in most cases it is unlawful for your neighbour to remove a boundary tree line as these old tree/fence lines and line miles have been used to determine where one property ends and the other begins. This has become a common legal issue, contact a lawyer if you have a neighbor who doesn’t respect your boundaries.

President Roosevelt dedicated more lands to parks and protected areas than any other President in the U.S. He held world summit meetings in Yellowstone National Park in the serene atmosphere that nature provided. It is sad to think that in the last 100 years we have lost 50% of our fish and wildlife.

Nature can survive without man but man cannot survive without nature. The time is now to make a stand for nature, we owe her at least an attempt to start reversing our present course or human existence on earth is truly in jeopardy. I am on your side Mother Nature. When you notice nature she will reveal herself onto you. Don’t just be a Canadian, be a proud Canadian.

Signed a very concerned human being, Currie McIntosh

On Jan. 18, 1871 John Baker, whom many thought to be 102 years old, a familiar figure in downtown Cornwall, died.

At the time, the historical significance of his passing went unnoticed. Many years later it was determined that Baker, whose great grandfather, Cato, was brought to the United States from Africa aboard a slave ship, was the last child born into a slave family in Canada.

John and his family had been the “property” of British Major James Gray who fled to Upper Canada from the U.S. in 1776, bringing John’s mother, Dorine, a slave who served the Gray household as a servant.

The Gray’s settled on a large tract of Crown land in what is now known as Gray’s Creek. The property covered several hundred acres. While serving in the Gray household Dorine married and soon after John was born into slavery, albeit life was much less harsh than in the Deep South.

A 1793 British statute banned the importation of slaves to Upper Canada. However, the law did not liberate slaves living in Upper Canada.

After Major Gray died in 1795, John became the property of his son, Robert. In a bizarre twist, Robert, a prominent politician, discovered John’s elderly grandmother, Lavine, while visiting the U.S. in 1802. He bought her for $50 (about $1,200 in today’s dollars), and brought her to Cornwall as a free person to live with his neighbour Capt. Samuel Anderson and his family.

Robert Gray died in a shipping accident in 1804. In his book Lunenburg, Judge Jacob Pringle noted that by the terms of the master’s will, Dorina, and her family were not only liberated for her dedication as a servant, but was given 200 acres of land Gray owned near York to where Dorina and her family moved.

Many years later John Baker returned to Cornwall from Toronto and worked at odd jobs to support himself. At age 82, unable

to keep working, several citizens persuaded the government to grant him a small military pension. John had served with the 42nd Royal Regiment and fought in the Battle of Waterloo, where Napoleon was defeated. He also fought for the British at Lundy’s Lane, Fort Erie and Sackett’s Harbor.

Judge Pringle noted in his book that when John was told about the pension he called out, “God save the Queen.”

There is no record of where he was buried.

HERE AND THERE Ryan Gosling’s first big crush wasn’t somebody in his CCVS drama club or elsewhere in Cornwall.

According to Sunday Times Style magazine it was Britney Spears when the two were Mouseketeers. ... Financial advisers like to point out that one should have a big enough nest egg to get to 92. Do they read the obituaries? ... Groundhog sez: Four more years of Trump. ... When he was prime minister, Jean Chretien once told a junior cabinet member that he selected his cabinet this way: Put the dreamers in charge of the social programs and the fiscal hard asses in charge of the money. ... Back to the future when it comes to replacing single-use plastic bags with paper. Way back when, plastic bags were embraced as a way to save trees. ... The fact that so many anti-Trumpians are worried that The Donald will be re-elected in November shows just how weak the list of Democratic Party hopefuls is.

SPORTS STUFF According to Le Journal de Montreal, neither Canadiens’ general manager Marc Bergevin nor coach Claude Julien is the problem. In recent story, the widely-read newspaper gave Bergevin and Julien a pass while putting all the blame on assistant GM Trevor Timmins.

Celebrating local success and regional collaboration

I then met to discuss regional collaboration when I met with other MPPs and municipal leaders at the Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus in Kingston. We had productive discussions on cellular service, health care, St. Lawrence River water levels and other important rural issues.

The village of Maxville had a great reason to celebrate on Friday, January 17, and I was glad to participate in their ‘Tap Turning Ceremony’ that marked the completion of a long awaited, new water distribution system.

Island Cruises vs. Atlantic Crossings Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

As I mentioned in my previous column, ocean travel aboard a freighter is not anything like a cruise ship experience. The only thing they have in common is that both vessels travel on water and the pointed end is at the front.

However, I do like travelling on both. Actually, I also like travelling by canoe, bicycle, camper van, float plane, helicopter…

Okay, I like travelling.

Not counting hundreds of ferry trips, I’ve also gone on destination cruises, including three crossings of the Atlantic and one transit from

Miami to Vancouver via the Panama Canal.

Travel by ferry is just to cross from one place to another, like sitting at a restaurant table gets you the evening’s special. In contrast travel by cruise ship is more like grazing a vast smorgasbord or a food fair: it’s an opportunity to sample, but not to savour.

Except for the trans-Atlantic relocation crossings (whose main purpose is to get the cruise ships away from the Caribbean hurricane season), cruise ships graze, they tend to amble from one little island to the next. Up to 4,000 passengers disembark immediately after breakfast. It’s like the D-Day invasion of Normandy, but without gunfire.

The outnumbered inhabitants of the quaint port village shlepp their hand-made trinkets (some made in China) down to the wharf or onto street-side display tables, in the hope of

OPINION sales that will keep their heads above the poverty line.

It’s only the brave or foolish tourist who ventures beyond line of sight of the cruise ship.

Heed the cruise director’s admonition, “Folks, if you’re not back on board before we cast off at 400 pm, you become a citizen of the island Republic of Beriberi.”

My analogy to D-Day was not quite appropriate, as the Allies intended to stay where they had landed. It would be more like the Dieppe raid of 1942: our troops were ashore for only six hours. A cruise ship’s stay in a port of call is rarely longer than that.

I don’t wish to be entirely negative about cruise ship travel. It’s the Caribbean island-hopping variety that doesn’t appeal to me. It’s like celebrating one’s fiftieth-anniversary by eating fries and a burger out of a paper bag from

St. Joseph’s

McD’s take-out window.

The cruise ship travel I thoroughly enjoy are the seven-day repositioning crossings of the Atlantic, which are not like a regular cruise.

It usually takes the first two days to liberate your mind and body from the frantic structure of our typical workaday lifestyle. Chill, relax, unwind… After that period of adjustment, you have on-board options that range from doing absolutely nothing to trying almost everything, i.e. (in alphabetical order) bars, bingo, buffets, concerts, dancing, dining, entertainment (comedians, dancers, singers, ventriloquists…), friends of Bill W., musing, promenading along the deck, reading, seminars (about computers, history, photography, travel…), shopping (duty free), socializing, swimming (in the pool, not in the ocean), tanning, writing…

Cornwall’s Camm helps take trophy at Ontario Curling Championships MARC BENOIT, SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS CORNWALL, Ontario – After a week of top level curling action in Cornwall, the 2020 Ontario Curling Championship has drawn to a close. Team Epping took the Ontario Tankard title, beating out Team Howard 8-3 by the eighth end. Epping took an early 3-0 lead in the first end, making it hard for Team Howard to catch up.

“We knew Howard was going to be tough to beat,” said Epping, who will be going on to represent Ontario alongside Cornwall’s Matt Camm (Second), Ryan Fry (First), and Brent Laing (Lead) at the Tim Horton’s brier in Kingston, ON. Team Epping secured their spot in the championship on Friday, while Team Howard

had beat out Team Hall during Saturday’s semi-final draw.

In his victory speech to the crowd, Epping thanked Cornwall for their dedication to hosting a successful tournament, mentioning his time playing in the Shorty Jenkins Classic.

The Cornwall Curling Club provided around 150 volunteers to make the week a success.

With Matt Camm playing for Epping, it felt like a hometown win for fans.

The Tim Horton’s brier will take place from February 28 to March 8 in Kingston, ON, where Alberta will be defending the national title.

On the women’s side of the tournament, Team Homan beat out Team Duncan to take the provincial championships and will represent Ontario at nationals in Moose Jaw later this year.

The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 297

CORNWALL, Ontario – The experienCity Project (TeP)is celebrating Black History Month during the month of February by honouring a trailblazer in the world of sports in Cornwall. Bob Turner was the first black Recreation Director in Cornwall and possibly the first in North America.

Turner faced racism against his appointment as Recreation Director, but the community rallied around him, and he remained in the job until his early death at the age of 35.

After his death, Bob Turner’s memory was honoured with the christening of the Bob Turner Memorial Arena, which was located on Fourth St. E. until it was demolished in 2013.

Since the loss of the Bob Turner Memorial Arena, members of Cornwall City Council, and the community have sought to find a new way to honour Turner’s memory.

Now, the TeP seeks to raise $5,000 to create a mural honouring Turner somewhere in Cornwall’s downtown.

ATTENTION!

ALL EX-SERVICE PERSONNEL You and Your Dependents are invited to take advantage of a FREE LEGION SERVICE. Mrs. Patricia Royle, Service Bureau Officer from Ottawa will be at Branch 297 to offer skilled advice on Veterans’ Benefits.

Wednesday, February 26, 2020 from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm pm.Anyone wishing to see Mrs. Royle is urged to call KEN HEAGLE

Branch 297 at 613-933-2362 to arrange for an appointment.

TeP will be turning to the public and will be inviting artists to submit their concepts for what the mural could look like. A committee will then review the submissions and select the winning bid. While no location has yet to be identified, those with tips or suggestions are asked to contact kelly.bergeron@gmail. com “I am very interested in helping our community find a fitting and creative way of honouring the memory and spirit of Bob Turner,” said Mayor Bernadette Clement. “It is remarkable that this city elected the first Jewish Mayor in Canada, and also hired the first black Recreation Manager. It says something powerful about our community.

We need to be reminded of Bob Turner’s story and it will honour us all to make sure there is a fitting tribute.”

Those who wish to support the project may do so online at www.patronicity.com/ bob or by cheque, which can be mailed to The experienCity Project, SDC Cornwall, 26 Montreal Rd., Cornwall, ON K6H 1B1 Go to www.cornwallseawaynews.com for the rest of this story PLUS additional SN coverage.

NATION SUD, Ontario - La Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) rappelle aux résidents de ses 4 384 km² dans l’Est de l’Ontario de ne pas prendre de risques lorsqu’ils pêchent sur la glace cet hiver. La rivière Nation Sud est une destination populaire pour la pêche récréative sur glace. Longue de 175 kilomètres, elle prend sa source au nord de Brockville et se jette dans la rivière des Outaouais près de Plantagenet, et abrite jusqu’à 72 espèces de poissons.

Comme les niveaux et les débits d’eau ont fluctué dans le bassin versant ces derniers temps, il en va de même pour l’épaisseur de la glace. « Nous avons vu des niveaux d’eau plus élevés que la normale dans le bassin versant pour cette période de l’année », a expliqué Taylor Campbell, spécialiste des communications de la CNS. « Il fait peut-être froid dehors, mais les changements de débit peuvent affecter l’épaisseur de la glace quelle que soit la température », a-t-il ajouté. « Nous demandons à tous les habitants de prendre les précautions nécessaires s’ils prévoient de pêcher sur la glace. » La glace doit avoir une épaisseur d’au moins 15 à 20 centimètres et doit être de couleur bleu clair. Évitez de pêcher près des structures de

contrôle de l’eau, car l’épaisseur de la glace peut varier. Il est toujours recommandé de s’habiller chaudement et de porter un dispositif de flottaison. La CNS invite également les résidents à être attentifs à l’environnement naturel. « Veuillez vous abstenir de vider votre seau à appâts dans la rivière, car cela pourrait avoir des effets potentiellement néfastes sur l’écosystème local », a précisé M. Campbell. « Nous demandons également aux résidents de remporter toutes leurs affaires et de ne laisser aucun déchet sur la glace. » Les résidents de l’Ontario peuvent pêcher sans permis pendant le week-end du Jour de la famille, du 15 au 17 février, et la CNS encourage les familles à pêcher en toute sécurité à l’un des tournois locaux suivants : le tournoi de l’Association des pêcheurs sur glace à l’île Petrie, dans la ville d’Ottawa, le 15 février; le tournoi de pêche sur glace d’Alexandria à l’étang Mill, le 15 février; et le tournoi de pêche sur glace de Wendover, le 16 février.

Pour plus d’informations sur les événements de pêche locaux, consultez le site www.ontariofamilyfishing.com. Pour plus d’informations sur les permis de pêche sur glace et les inscriptions aux cabanes, consultez le site www.ontario.ca/fishing.

Today recalls 6 years of the memory Of a loved one gone to rest, And those who think of him today Are those who loved him best.

The flowers we lay upon his grave May wither and decay, But the love for him who lies beneath Will never fade away.

Love Mom, Dad and Meagan.

We miss you buddy.

Six years have come and gone yet the pain of losing you remains.

It’s said that time heals all wounds.

This might be right for a cut or scrape but a shattered heart never heals.

You are missed every day.

All we have are treasured memories of you as a boy and young man.

We know the potential in your life that was taken away.

Love Always, Nanny & Papa Pearson

To bid or not to bid: red flags homebuyers shouldn’t ignore If you’re buying a house, getting a home inspection before signing on the dotted line is a must. But even before the inspector arrives, there are several things that should give you pause. Here are some potential problems to look out for.

WATER DAMAGE Fresh paint and carpeting can easily mask signs of water damage. Try to spot bubbling or irregularities in the paint, as these can be indicators of a problem.

Rot and mould are other signs but may also be hidden. A moisture detector is therefore a must when inspecting a home.

INFESTATION There aren’t always obvious signs of a pest infestation as animals and insects can hide inside walls, under carpeting and even beneath floorboards.

Inspectors will check the exterior of the home as closely as possible for any potential entrances.

ROOF ISSUES Issues with the roof may be missed if simply viewing it from the ground. Prior to the home inspection, it’s a good idea to ask the seller how old the roof is, as an old one is likely to have issues that need fixing.

HVAC ISSUES Inspectors may not run a full test of the HVAC system. The age of the system, however, is usually a good indicator of its state.

In addition, inspecting visible air ducts will usually give you a good idea of the system’s overall state.

While inspectors tend to provide very thorough evaluations, there are things that should give you pause even without one.

While not all of these things are deal breakers, they’re all worth being aware of when negotiating a price for your new home.

JOKE OF THE WEEK

(Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News).

A man takes his sick Chihuahua to the veterinarian. They’re immediately taken back to a room.

Soon, a Labrador walks in, sniffs the Chihuahua for 10 minutes and leaves. Then a cat comes in, stares at the Chihuahua for 10 minutes and leaves. Finally, the doctor comes in, prescribes some medicine and hands the man a $250 bill.

“This must be a mistake,” the man says. “I’ve been here only 20 minutes!”

“No mistake,” the doctor says. “It’s $100 for the lab test, $100 for the cat scan and $50 for the medicine.”

Agriculture Minister pitches new trespass bill to SD&G farmers

Come visit us at the

BONVILLE, Ontario – Ontario Minister of Agriculture Ernie Hardeman was at the Lions Club in Bonville on Monday, Feb. 3 to present Bill 156 or the Security from Trespass and Protecting Food Safety Act, 2019.

The aim of the bill is to discourage independent actors, such as animal rights groups, from trespassing on private farm land.

Included in the bill are increased fines for trespassing on a farm, with up to $15,000 in fines for the first offence, and up to $25,000 for the second offence.

Bill 156 goes hand-in-hand with the Provincial Animal Welfare Services (PAWS) Act which creates inspectors who have taken over the duties of monitoring animal welfare from the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals (OSPCA), particularly on farms.

Hardeman explained that the goal of his bill was to promote safety on farms for farmers, protesters, and for the food that farms produce.

“Everyone in this province has a right to a safe workplace, and for farmers, home and work is often the same place,” he said.

“Everyone has a right to protest, but that does not extend to trespassing on private property,” Hardeman added. “We are doing what we can to keep food safe, and that includes keeping it safe from trespassers.”

Hardeman said that the inspectors who will work under the PAWS Act will be trained to know the difference between abuse and animal husbandry.

“The way that farm animals exist is different

than the way pets exist,” Hardeman said, giving the example of horses, saying that it winter, it was healthy for horses to be out in the cold.

Jim McDonell, Progressive Conservative MPP for Stormont, Dundas and South Glengarry endorsed his colleagues new initiative.

“Anyone who grows up in the country knows how animals are,” he said. “We want to make sure that farmers have the right to privacy and that our food is safe.”

South Glengarry farmer Walter Oeggerli who was at Hardeman’s presentation said he was in favour of the bill.

“Overall I’m in favour of it,” he said. “It strengthens our ability to do what we do well while preventing misunderstandings from those who would tell us what we should do.”

“We have a moral obligation to treat our animals well,” Oeggerli added.ws).

LANCASTER, Ontario – At a Special Meeting of South Glengarry Council on Friday, Jan. 24, Councillor Sam McDonell raised the idea of the Township not paying their bill to Cornwall Electric in order to bring the utility to the table.

At issue is the Township’s desire to switch the street lights in Glen Walter to more efficient LED bulbs. To do that however, the Township needs the cooperation of Cornwall Electric, who own the light poles.

According to Councillor McDonell, the Township reached out to Cornwall Electric in the spring of 2019 to talk about switching the lights over, they were told to expect a response by the fall, but have yet to hear an answer and their phone calls and emails have been left unanswered.

South Glengarry wants to switch the street lights in Glen Walter to more efficient LEDs to exploit potentially significant cost savings.

The Township has already switched over the street lights in the rest of the municipality to LEDs, those lights are on Hydro One poles.

The total cost of that project was $226,421.40, with an estimated cost savings thanks to energy efficiency of 69 per cent. Hydro One made the switch to LEDs in

South Glengarry four years ago, and in the first three years, the Township collected $259,131.73 in savings.

McDonell explained that by not coming to the table, Cornwall Electric is costing the Township and the taxpayers money.

“The big issue is this is a real savings that once we have transferred maintenance and future replacement cost to reserves we can then pass that savings along to rate payers, who in fact have these lights worked into their property taxes. It’s a true savings we miss out on every month we pay the bill and Cornwall Electric doesn’t come to the table,” he said in an email to Seaway News.

South Glengarry Council directed General Manager of Corporate Services Lachlan MacDonald to write a report on the repercussions the Township could face for not paying their bill to Cornwall Electric and submit it to Council for their consideration.

Seaway News reached out to Jacqueline Baird, Regional Manager of Cornwall Electric for comment, but did not receive one as of time of publication.

At their council meeting on Feb. 3, General Manager of Infrastructure Ewen MacDonald told Council that Cornwall Electric had been in contact since their budget deliberations on Jan. 24 and that a meeting was already being planned.
