Making Valentine’s gifts

most recent job postings from Cornwall employers

Cornwall Express PGS 10 & 11 Royal Lepage Excellence Awards P15 Hear them say

CORNWALL, Ontario - There was a steady stream of customers searching for that perfect Valentine’s Day gift during the Valentine’s Day Maker’s Market at Cornwall Square on Feb 5. The event was held between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., with organizers Dayna Gunn and Ashley Barnhart expressing how pleased they were with the turnout.

Barnhart explained how “with the pandemic people were looking for a reason to get out

and socialize”, with Gunn commenting how the event provided the opportunity for people to support local vendors. 28 vendors were at the market on Saturday, with a good selection of items for sale, including flowers, jewellery, and other hand-made items available.

Barnhart and Gunn agreed both the customers and vendors seemed happy with the shopping experience at the market. Ashley Devine, owner of Devine Designs, explained she attended the event for a few reasons including to support other small businesses, meet vendors and to promote her business.

Laura Brown, a designer at Blooms in Cornwall, commented there was a lot of traffic during the market and mentioned she enjoyed answering questions from youngsters about flowers.

There was plenty to see in the two rooms where the market was held, and customers seemed to be enjoying seeing what vendors had for sale. Just outside the market was a photobooth where people were able to get Valentine’s Day themed photos taken as well as two additional booths for customers to peruse.

TO OUR HEALTHCARE WORKERS: We see you.We stand by you.

AMY GILLESPIE CORNWALL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL FOUNDATION

On behalf of our Hospital Foundation, I’d like to express gratitude to community members who have connected with our team to communicate messages of solidarity and encouragement for healthcare professionals at CCH. Many of you have taken the opportunity to celebrate and thank healthcare workers since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. By now, we’ve all lost more than we expected. We are collectively disrupted, and discouraged, but the support you show to those on the frontlines and behind the scenes is more relevant than ever.

For healthcare workers, this pandemic is the professional marathon of a lifetime.

Recognizing their ongoing efforts makes it a little easier for them to keep going during these difficult times. After all, behind their PPE, these individuals are family members, friends, and community members, too.

Thanks to you, we’ve received videos of encouragement, notes of support, and stories

projects as they arise, enabling CCH to care for local patients. We thank OPG for their continued support.

is not a bad idea. Moreover, this can help ensure that the estate is distributed in a fair and honest manner.

And be sure to appoint an alternate executor (or multiple alternate executors) in case the original executor dies or is unable or unwilling to fulfill their duties.

Lastly, as this is an important decision, don’t hesitate to seek advice from persons you trust, whether it’s family members, friends, your lawyer or the bank.

Choosing the executor of your will

Appointing an executor for your will requires careful reflection. The individual will be in charge of administering your estate and carrying out your final wishes. You want this task to be done both efficiently and in a fair manner.

Very often, people will choose a family member or friend who they trust to execute their will. It’s a plus if this person has knowledge on taxes, investments and financial decisions. However, keep in mind that the person you choose can turn to experts like attorneys or tax accountants to guide them through the process: what’s most important is that the executor is someone you know to be responsible.

If you don’t feel comfortable entrusting this task to a family member or friend, or if you have a complex estate, you can name a thirdparty executor such as a bank, trust company or legal professional. While all executors are legally entitled to a fee (this will come out of the estate), third-party executors represent an extra cost.

Note that you have the option of appointing two or more executors or co-executors.

Executing a will entails a lot of work, so dividing the task between two people — especially if the individuals you have in mind have busy lives —

3 MINUTES WITH THE MAYOR

GLEN GRANT CITY OF CORNWALL

DEMOCRACY: Def.: the belief in freedom and equality between people, or a system of government based on this belief, in which power is either held by elected representatives or directly by the people themselves Freedom of Expression: It enables the free exchange of ideas, opinions and information

and thus allows members of society to form their own opinions of issues of public importance.

Restrictions of Freedom of Expression: (Sec. 16(2)) of the Constitution excludes “the advocacy of hatred based on race, ethnicity, gender and religion from the ambit of the Right to freedom of Expression when this amounts to incitement to cause harm”.

The Freedom of Expression is expressed many times in Canada each year with peaceful demonstrations on a variety of national and international issues. These demonstrations very seldom impact the lives of Canadians. I have participated in various peaceful demonstrations that normally last a couple of hours or a full day. They never

consisted of anything harmful to people or places.

However, there are demonstrations that include many of the elements of the Restrictions to Freedom of Expression. The current demonstration in Ottawa would fit this category. It has demonstrated symbols of hatred, such as the swastika symbols, confederate flags, etc. There have been many other examples of incitement to cause harm.

Harm to public and private property (defecating on private property), loud noises from continual honking of horns all day and night, merchants not being able to open their businesses, residents restricted in their movements in their neighbourhoods and other examples. This should not be

tolerated!!

There have been explanations for the demonstration such as trucker vaccine mandates, but this is hard to believe since the majority of truckers are vaccinated. So, what are other explanations for this demonstration? Some believe it is political.

The majority of Canadians are frustrated with the Covid pandemic and want to see an end to it but this is not the way Canadians settle their issues. We are a peaceful people that attempt to resolve issues peacefully and try not to impact the lives of our fellow residents.

Olsonfab donates new equipment to Big Ben Ski Centre NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Big Ben Ski Centre was open on Tuesday, Feb. 1 for the Upper Canada District School Board’s PA Day and kids that were enjoying the hill were among the first to try out new equipment donated

by OlsonFab. OlsonFab provided new ramps and rails for the hill, all of which were custom made.

“I reached out to the people at OlsonFab asking if there was anything they would add to the terrain park, but I wasn’t expecting this,” said Brett Lauzon, Operations Manager at Big Ben Ski Centre.

“It is unbelievable,” Lauzon continued.

“Now we can compete with a real terrain

park.”

Lauzon explained his efforts to add more recreation options to Big Ben this season, including a new walking trail around the site.

As a part of OlsonFab’s donation, a new sign featuring OlsonFab has been added to the Big Ben site to thank them for their recent sponsorship.

“I want to thank everyone at OlsonFab, they really went above and beyond,” he said. “We are hoping that other community members will want to get involved. We have space for more sponsors.”

OlsonFab Metal Fabrication was founded in Corwnall by Michael and Roger Ladouceur and has been in business for 75 years.

Young Veronica prepares to take to the slopes of Big Ben on Tuesday, February 1, 2022.

3 MINUTES WITH THE MPP

JIM MCDONELL MPP STORMONT-DUNDAS-SOUTH GLENGARRY

Early in my first term, the Auditor General published a scathing report on the ills of longterm care in Ontario. Wait times for a bed in our region were almost three years, with no action in sight, as the former Liberal

government only added 611 net new beds between 2011 and 2018. On taking government in 2018, we immediately took action to become competitive again to stop the flow of jobs out of the province and to fix long-term care. Before the pandemic, we set up the structure to attract and train more personal support workers (PSWs) to address the lack of direct care. Last fall, we committed $4.9 billion over four years to hire over 27,000 long-term care staff to increase direct care by 45%, to meet the Auditor General’s recommendation of four hours per day. We also began the process to add 30,000 net-new beds over 10 years, and last week I was

happy to report our region’s sixth and seventh new projects. With the new 128-bed projects to replace the LTC beds at Sandfield Place and the Lancaster home, there are now 21,341 new and 16,946 upgraded LTC beds in the development pipeline, 71% of our 30,000-bed commitment. I look forward to the sod-turning ceremonies scheduled for mid-2023.

This past Monday, Ontario began gradually easing restrictions as hospitalizations continued to flatten and start to decline. Capacity limits were set at 50% for additional Indoor public settings and now include restaurants, bars, retailers, shopping malls, indoor sports

and recreation facilities, including gyms, cinemas, museums, and religious services.

Spectator areas of sporting events, concerts, and theatres can operate at 50% of seated capacity, up to 500 people, with proof of vaccination.

As conditions continue to improve, I remind people that vaccination is still our best way forward to reduce severe health impacts to you personally and to your community. For the latest public health measures and vaccination information, visit www.EOHU.ca or call 1-800-267-7120 for more info.

Symposium offers game plan on rural education nseebruch@seaway.media

CORNWALL, Ontario - On Thursday, Feb. 3, the United Counties of SD&G hosted a symposium on rural education live on YouTube and Zoom.

The symposium was a follow-up to a report commissioned by the United Counties last year on rural education. That report identified a series of issues with rural education in the region including multiple school boards competing for the same pool of students, administrators viewing education as a business rather than a public service, and inconsistencies in program delivery among other things.

United Counties councillors Kirsten Gardener and Stephanie Jaworski presented some of the local issues that rural education faces to the symposium.

They gave examples from local rural

communities, such as the Township of North Glengarry. The largest community in North Glengarry is Alexandria, which has five schools, all of which are less than half of their capacity. The town of Alexandria has an estimated 980 students, but 2,551 student spaces.

“All of our schools regardless of board, are connected,” Jaworski explained.

The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) high school in Alexandria, Glengarry District, was the largest school by both capacity and enrollment, but during the Pupil Accommodation Review (PAR) process in 2016 it was selected for closure.

Jaworski also pointed out, that there are approximately 300 students in North Glengarry who do not go to North Glengarry schools, but instead go to schools nearly an hour outside the community.

Jaworski explained that ministry per-pupil

Jesus explained that the two greatest commandments are to love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, followed by loving your neighbor as you would love yourself (Mark 12:31). What does it look like to love our neighbours? As we dig more into Scripture, we will see that a neighbour is not just someone friendly next-door, but everyone around you.

When Jesus gave this challenge, neighbours were usually considered people in your village or town; people you would usually see on a regular basis.

Today, neighbour still carries the same idea, and we really should share the love of God with those in our neighbourhoods. But with the advantages of technology and travel now, our neighbours are now global and come from different races, cultures, and sometimes religious beliefs. But in Jesus’s eyes, a neighbour is every living, breathing human God created and Jesus died for. God never lets an opportunity slip away to use you to love others. Here are some simple ideas!

1. Say hello and smile to your neighbour, coworker, the mailman, the cashier; anyone. If many are honest, they may admit they have rarely, if ever spoken much with their next-door neighbours they

MILTONS ESTATES LAW Wills - Probate - Estates Estate Litigation

have lived beside for years, or they have never had in a cheerful conversation with their letter carrier or delivery driver. You can move past basic pleasantries with an actual conversation with those you meet.

You never know until you try.

2. Offer to help your neighbour, co-worker, or community member with chores. Simple acts like this let a person know that you care and are showing some love in action.

3. Ask your neighbour over for a meal or to go out to eat somewhere. You could then have the opportunity to discuss work, family, thoughts on the world, and perhaps trust and hope in God. 4. Invite your neighbour over on holidays or drop off some treats for them. Holidays can sometimes be the hardest time for some people, especially in light of recent events where people may not get together for safety concerns.

So, we are to “love our neighbours as ourselves,” extending the love we have for ourselves and for God to all those around us. Through the suggestions above, you can take a moment out of your day let others know that they are noticed and loved. You can always expand your capacity to love!

serving as multi-use meeting places.

“When the only school in a small town is closed, families would look elsewhere for a home to put down their roots,” Reycraft noted that this does not happen in neighbourhoods in larger cities.

The keynote speaker of the symposium was Paul Bennett, author and Director of the Schoolhouse Institute and Adjunct Professor of Education at Dalhousie University.

More than 10 years ago, Bennett became impassioned about the cause of rural education after attending a meeting about the closure of a school in a small community in his native NS. Bennett recounted his experiences since then and tricks and tactics he has learned when dealing with school boards who want to close rural community schools.

In 2016, the UCDSB selected a number of schools to close as a part of their PAR process. Community campaigning and lobbying with the school board lead to much fewer schools being closed, but Bennett warned that this was merely a reprieve and that he has often seen schools closed in second PARs a few years after they were spared.

Bennett explained that the PAR process “is about closing schools, not renewing communities.”

He advised that schools should be made the focus of the economic development of rural communities, and that communities should engage with and take a direct hand in the development of their local schools.

“You have so much going for you when you realize you need to engage with the schools with or without the school board,” he said.

The full symposium is viewable on the United Counties of SD&G YouTube Channel.

funding for school boards also is not entirely equitable with some school boards getting more funding for students based on different programming they might offer, such as French Immersion.

Schools providing programming like French Immersion can present challenges for rural schools and the communities they serve. One such example of this is in the community of South Stormont, In South Stormont, one school, Longue Sault Public (LPS) in the village of Long Sault, provides French Immersion, while another UCDSB school, Rothwell-Osnabruck (RO) in the village of Ingleside, does not.

RO saw its enrollment decline, while LPS saw its enrollment grow.

“When one school is dedicated French Immersion, and another school is not, it will have a measurable and predictable impact,” Jaworski said.

Doug Reycraft, former Mayor of South Middlesex, ON, presented to the symposium on the importance of rural schools in their communities. He explained how rural schools serve as more than just places for education, but are often anchors in their communities

Would you rather spend Valentine’s Day at home this year? If so, there are many ways to make the occasion memorable. Here are a few ideas.

1. THE DINNER DATE Cook a meal together or order food for pick-up or delivery. Though a traditional sit-down dinner by candlelight can be nice, consider something more frivolous like sharing fondue, making heartshaped pizzas or having a living room picnic.

2. THE MOVIE DATE Set it apart from a regular night in front of the TV by lighting candles and laying out extra blankets and pillows. Serve popcorn topped with fine herbs and cheeses, upscale chocolates and candies as well as chilled champagne or cocktails. Watch a romantic flick or the first movie you saw together as a couple.

3. THE SPA DATE Pamper each other with massages, then share a scented bubble bath. Wear fluffy bath­robes and slippers while gi-

Williamstown Public School expansion going forward NICK SEEBRUCH

WILLIAMSTOWN, Ontario - The project to expand Williamstown Public School (WPS) is ready to go to tender. Representatives from the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB), WPS, and the province of Ontario met at the elementary school on Monday, Feb. 7 to discuss the projects progress.

Initially, the project had been set at $3.7 million to expand WPS and add 118 more student spaces. The project has grown with cash from the UCDSB renewal fund to add more upgrades to the school including high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, a retrofit of the school’s HVAC system, a wheelchair lift, solar panels, new outdoor signage, renovations to the courtyard and upgrades to the electrical supply.

The expanded student spaces are much needed for the school, which has around 260

student spaces and 373 students.

“This is great news for South Glengarry and more importantly great news for our students here at Williamstown Public as they continue to traverse their elementary school years,” said John Danaher, UCDSB Trustee for Ward 9. “This means that our school can stand toeto-toe with any school in the province.”

The expansion will add four new regular classrooms and one new Kindergarten classroom, as well as wshrooms.

The new classrooms will be equipped with the latest educational tools including whiteboards and televisions.

“The funding for this addition to the Williamstown Public School is great news for our community,” added Jim McDonell, MPP for Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry. “This investment will provide a quality learning Pictured L-R: Ward 9 Trustee John Danaher, Superintendent Susan Rutters, Director environment and new opportunities for the of Education Ron Ferguson, Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry MPP Jim McDonell, children of South Glengarry.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Don’t be condescending

In response to the negative OP EDs on the Trucker’s Freedom Run across the country from BC to Ottawa, I personally find condescending.

To those who have differing views on the mandates take issue with being referred to as a “bunch of hanger on ers”. I feel a moral and civil right and obligation to protest peacefully , when the government does not represent me and does not follow democratic process. I am a retired RN with 27 years experience in Health care and I do not agree with the Science Table, This vaccine is

leading the way to freedom which is every Canadian’s God given right.

The Convoy has the encouragement and support of millions of Canadians and is growing by the day. I believe the restaurants and businesses of Ottawa would appreciate the opportunity to recoup losses incured from the several closures of the past two years, but many are afraid to speak out for fear of reprisal from the Mayor and Council.

I also believe the social workers of this country

have enough problems dealing with increasing depression and anxiety leading to suicide. domestic abuse and social problems stemming from the repercussions over the prolonged lockdowns. These are the collateral damage of the mandates. {reference John Hopkins University, Feb 3/22} This is the first time in two years i felt such hope and pride in Canada as I cheered the Truckers heading to our nations capital.

and the truckers who have delivered food and goods to Canadians. Also, Canadians themselves deserve credit for 1) realizing the benefits of the vaccination 2) Respecting the restrictions 3) Being considerate of others The restrictions are nowhere as severe as during WWII. Although prices have gone up, there have been no restrictions on how much gas, meat, sugar or tires we can purchase. Those measures were necessary to defeat Fascism.

Restrictions this time were necessary to

defeat covid 19. It was reported that protesters were dancing and urinating on the tomb of The Unknown Soldier on Saturday January 29th.

These are the men who fought in 2 world wars for our freedom. I also saw upside down Canadian flags and a F__k Trudeau flag draped over the Terry Fox Memorial. I am sure the majority of Canadians wish to apologize to the Mayor and citizens of Coquitlan, BC for this travesty.

Citizens of downtown Ottawa have had to endure endless air horn noise and the stench of spent diesel.

I certainly realize that all Canadians have had a difficult 2 years and my condolences go out to those who have lost loved ones. We are all tired, frustrated and want the Pandemic to end and get back to normal. We look to governments for leadership during times of crisis to keep us safe.

With all things, considered they have done not a bad job during covid Time to pack it up and leave the good citizens of Ottawa in peace.

Let’s all hope this Pandemic ends soon.

Lawrence J. Jeffrey, Bainsville, Ontario

only .5% of Canadian population, they represented 64% of COVID-related deaths. But more to the point, the deaths within the private for-profit facilities were double those in the non-profit sector and five times higher than in those operated by municipalities.

Ontario needs public, non-profit longterm

facilities, where care comes before profits.

Granted, not all private for-profit facilities failed their residents so tragically, but in far too many, the conflicts of interest cost people’s lives.

Yes, the 250 beds have been long needed and are most welcome, but the opportunistic privatization is not. The province has promised

15,000 new builds and 15,000 rebuilds in the next five years. Let’s demand that those 30,000 beds be part of the public healthcare system, where care is the sole focus.

Elaine MacDonald Co-chair of the Cornwall Chapter of the Ontario Health Coalition

experimental and should not be forced on anyone, I do believe that if someone wants to take it, that’s their right. Two important tenets in ethics are, to provide informed consent , and the right to refuse treatment, medication or injection into any bodily orafice.

We have had 2 years of incompetent leadership and people have had enough, The Truckers have displayed exemplary conduct on the highways and in Ottawa. This convoy is putting Canada and its people on the world stage, and

We are all tired and frustrated First of all, I will draw a comparison to our American friends. The U. S. has had 907,000 deaths from covid or 2,740 deaths per million.

Canada by comparison has had 879 deaths per million. I would like to credit our governments, both Federal and Provincial for 1) Procuring and distributing the vaccine 2) Putting in restrictions to limit social contact and mask wearing 3) Having a medical system that has bent but not snapped.

A big thank you to all our health care workers

Long-term care beds

The January 27 announcement that 250 new longterm care beds are coming to our area has an ominous dark lining. All 250 are being allocated to the private for-profit sector. Time and again, the inadequacies of private for-profit healthcare have been demonstrated. Though residents of longterm care facilities make up

Things a growing city should have NICK SEEBRUCH

8 - Wednesday, February 9, 2022

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

Cornwall was recently ranked as one of the top growing Ontario cities

by U-Haul. I think that this is probably accurate. Later this week we will see the true numbers as Statistics Canada prepares to release the results of the latest Canadian Census.

People are coming to Cornwall. As we grow as a community, there are amenities that the municipality has yet to provide that people are going to expect.

I recently stayed in Smiths Falls, ON, a small community of fewer than 10,000 people about an hour and a half northwest of Cornwall.

Despite being less than a quarter of the size of Cornwall, Smiths Falls has a municipally run dog park.

Before I go any further on the dog park issue, I just want to say that Cornwall does have a privately run dog park operated by Fence Depot.

This is a situation where a private business has stepped up to provide a service that should have been provided by the municipality and they should be commended for it.

I do still think though that the municipality should setup one or to dog parks in different parts of the city away from where Fence Depot has theirs.

In the 2022 budget, a dog park is listed as a wishlist item, with planned implementation in five years.

Now, I know it is more complicated than this but a dog park seems like it should be a relatively straightforward amenity to install. Finding a place, putting up a fence, benches, doggy bag dispensers and garbage bins seem to be all of the essentials that you need for a dog park.

If people are moving to Cornwall from other cities, a dog park is something that I think many of them will expect because even in smaller cities, they are now the norm.

Another amenity that I believe that the City of Cornwall needs is not one that I think can be solved by the municipal government and that is having a grocery store in the downtown.

There are already several large apartment buildings in Augustus St., and the new Prime Square is being

built on the corner of Pitt and Second streets. The nearest grocery store for the populations that live in these locations is Farm Boy, a 20-minute walk away, which is a significant hike in the winter, for a senior, who probably doesn’t have a car. All other grocery stores are a minimum of a 30-minute walk away from Cornwall’s downtown core.

There is a real gap in the heart of our city and I’ve been saying for years now that a grocery store is what is needed to fill it. Having a grocery store in the downtown would help out other businesses as well.

Grocery stores are anchor businesses, everyone always needs to go to one. It remains to be seen who will step up to take on this opportunity.

Adding amenities to the city will be something that City Council and Administration will have to balance with keeping the tax rate low. This will be a growing pain that the City will have to learn how to deal with.

As always readers, I’d like to hear your opinions on this issue.

Occupation exposes a double standard Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

Several Conservative members of Parliament have thrown their support behind the occupation forces camped out in downtown Ottawa, most of them in front of the Parliament Buildings. Even had their photos taken with a group of occupiers during a visit to the Wellington Street encampment. Smiles all around. Thumbs Up. To hell with all the folks who have suffered with the constant noise and store closures. All with the approval of the freshly minted Numero Uno. First order issued by interim Conservative Leader Candice Bergen, not to be confused with the Hollywood actress, was for members of her caucus not to speak ill of the protesters turned lawbreakers. (Note to Eric Duncan: Whadya say?) In reference to a counter-protest, she used the line that there are good people on both sides. Now where have we heard that one?

This we know about this take over stretching into a second week: if Black Lives Matter (BLM) or indigenous folks put the lock on downtown Ottawa for even one day, the same gang, along with the media cheerleaders, would be calling on the cops to break it up and arrest them all.

Trump admirer Bergen, once photographed with a MAGNA cap, sees this as a great opportunity to turn up the heat on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, make gains for the Conservatives and keep hard-core right-wing voters from going over to the People’s Party of Canada (PPC). Methinks she might be miscalculating how the unwashed (silent majority) feel about what is happening in Ottawa.

What it has done is expose the

occupation for what it has morphed into: An anti-Trudeau convention when in fact the quarrel is with provincial mandates.

Has anybody seen a F...... Doug Ford sign? ************ Back when COVID was getting off the ground, I received a telephone call from a city business owner hot under the collar (and that is putting it mildly).

He was fired up over misinformation (aka rumour) that the city planned to close Pitt Street – Third to Water – during the warm weather months to allow restaurants to set up patios on the street.

Closing Pitt Street for the an extended period, he said, would be disastrous for his retail business, and other retailers on the street. He was right, if the story were true.

He and his wife have worked hard to build up their business. Closing down the street for an extended period would have been another kick in the teeth.

Now I find out that the same person who railed against a not-true Pitt Street closure is cheering on the Ottawa occupation that has financially damaged businesses, many like his, family operated, put people out of work and made life miserable for residents in the downtown core. All of them shuffled off by the occupiers and their supporters as collateral damage. ************ There’s plenty of blame to go around at Ottawa Police Service headquarters for the mess but the buck stops at beleaguered police chief Peter Sloly’s office.

He should do the honourable thing and step down so a real leader, perhaps somebody from the Toronto or Quebec City police forces, can take charge.

This wasn’t as as if the convoy rumbled into the downtown area in the middle of the night and caught OPS off guard. The chief and his senior staff had plenty of time to get ready. Instead, they twiddled their

said that the city should split the clerk-administrator position into two separate departments. The report said the system would steam line the administration process. It was recommended an executive committee headed by the administrator include the city treasurer, city engineer and clerk. Weekly executive meetings would replace department meetings. Ald. Francis Guindon railed against the proposal saying that it would turn city hall into a communist state. “I don’t like dictatorship,” he said.

The report also recommended Sunday voting and elections at large. ... Earl Landry was named to the new Cornwall Police Department position of inspector of personnel. Percy Riviere was promoted to inspector of detectives. ... George Rodney’s goal midway through the third period gave Cornwall Royals a 3-2 win over Verdun Maple Leafs in a Quebec Junior Hockey League playoff game. Larry Salmon and Pierre Duguay had the other Cornwall goals. Gilles Meloche made 47 saves for Verdun, while Royals tender Billy Smith stopped 24 shots.

TRIVIA ANSWER - Only two on our list served at least one term on city council before being elected mayor. They were Brian Lynch and Brian Sylvester. Emile Menard and Dr. Elzear Emard served on Cornwall Township councils. Aaron Horovitz, Ed Lumley, Phil Poirier and Ron Martelle had no city council experience before becoming mayor.

TRIVIA When this Canadian politician was a youngster he delivered The Washington Star – no longer in business – to Vice-President Richard Nixon’s Washington, D.C. home: 1) Stephen Harper, 2) Stephen Lewis, 3) Bob Rae, 4) Ed Broadbent, 5) Mike Harris.

Saved by the shadow shot!

Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

I was photographing at a winter fly-in of ultra-light aircraft one bitterly cold day. How cold was it? The thermometer’s reading was so low on the scale that Celsius and Fahrenheit numbers were side-by-side at -40°.

I retreated inside to change film. (Yes, film; this was long, long, long ago. It was 35 mm Kodachrome). I rushed into the hotel’s indoor swimming pool. My glasses immediately fogged up.

I didn’t clue in. Fumbling blindly and without thinking, I immediately opened the camera. The camera’s interior, exterior and lens instantly became covered in frost.

After 15 minutes the frost eventually

changed to moisture.

Fortunately, my sub-zero chilled brain had somewhat thawed. I decided to not change the film. After more than another 30 minutes the camera was completely dried off.

Only then was I finally able to change film and venture outside to take more photos.

The brightly coloured aircraft outside were calling to be photographed – from the air. I managed to convince Claude, one of the Challenger pilots, to take me up.

“I’ve got enough fuel for only one circuit, so that’ll have to do it!” Up we went. As we sped by the gathering of aircraft below, spectators on the ice waved at us vigorously. Another aircraft eased up beside us, waggling its wings enthusiastically. “What a friendly bunch!” I mused.

After making our hurried pass, Roy shouted, “Time to get down!”. “We’re just about bingo on fuel.”

I was concentrating on snapping a photo

of the shadow of our plane just as it was about to touch down on the snow-hummocked ice. At that instant, I shouted. “Go around! Go around!”

He immediately aborted our landing descent. “What’s up?” he shouted back at me.

I responded with, “The retainer for one of the skis is disconnected. The ski is pointed straight down!” I undid my shoulder harness and carefully opened the upward-opening side door. “I think I can take care of it.”

I leaned down and grabbed at the flailing cable, pulling the ski back up to its necessary horizontal attitude.

Our inevitable end-over-end crash landing did not take place. We touched down without incident. I’m sure the fuel tank was just about as dry as my mouth. We were saved by my determination to shoot the shadow.

CONDENSATION – The same thing happens to a super-chilled camera. Sudden transition from super cold to warmth and humidity will cause big problems. (Photo by Nick Wolochatiuk)

collective thumbs, treating it as a one-day drive-by protest.

Now, on Day 12 and counting, the chief is trying to pass the buck to the feds and province.

As one Ottawa media outlet pointed out, “The truckers (occupation forces) are now calling the shots, not the police.” ************ The occupiers got some comforting news. God is with them. That was the message offered up by the Rev. Henry Hildebrandt, a prominent anti-vaxxer from Alymer, Ont. He delivered the Divine message at a prayer service for the occupiers and supporters near the War Memorial. He offered up several Bible versus to assure them that the Almighty approved of what they were doing. Rev. Henry is the self-anointed poster boy for far right evangelicals who believe God and not vaccines will protect the faithful. ..... Think maybe carbon emissions in the downtown have gone through the roof? ... Another oops moment for the Singh family. Jagmeet Singh’s brother-in-law was caught donating $11,000 to the convoy fund. When a Toronto newspaper blew the whistle on him, and his brother-in-law, leader of the federal NDP, condemned the donation, he asked for his money back, saying he didn’t realize what the money was supporting.

Hey, and these are smart people. ... Great quote from Mayor Jim Watson – “I get my medical advice from a doctor, not a trucker.” ... Hey, what ever happened to the G5 conspiracy theory? ... Wonder where we would be today without vaccines for polio, measles, small pox and all the other deadly viruses? ************ THIS MONTH CIRCA 1970 – An eightmonth study by a three-man committee made up of council members George Cameron, Ken Bough and John Pescod

Le MCA cherche un nouvel emplacement pour le Centre de soins

10 - Le mercredi 9

fevrier, 2022 - Cornwall Express - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

NICK LAURIN CORNWALL, Ontario - Le Conseil des Mohawks d’Akwesasne (CMA) a confirmé à Seaway News qu’il n’ira pas de l’avant avec son projet de centre de guérison au 510, rue Second Est, à Cornwall, également connu sous le nom d’ancien Hôpital général de Cornwall et actuellement connu sous le nom de Centre de soins.

“Le conflit en cours entre la ville de Cornwall et le propriétaire du 510 Second St. a entraîné des problèmes constants de permis et de zonage qui échappent à notre contrôle. Nous cherchons activement un nouvel emplacement pour le Centre de guérison d’Akwesasne et continuons à donner la priorité à ce projet afin de répondre aux besoins de notre population de sans-abri “, peut-on lire dans une déclaration du grand chef du CMA, Abram Benedict, à Seaway News.

L’ancien Hôpital général de Cornwall a été acheté par Dan Orr et Matthew Cinnamon en 2014, qui ont ensuite rebaptisé le site le Centre de soins et ont commencé à le commercialiser comme une résidence pour les personnes âgées ou celles qui préfèrent les logements de groupe.

La directrice générale de Cornwall, Maureen Adams, a expliqué que, bien qu’elle ne puisse pas commenter les détails derrière le différend entre la ville et le Centre de soins, elle a déclaré que, du point de vue de la ville, il y avait des domaines où le Centre de soins ne respectait pas certaines normes requises pour son utilisation actuelle.

“Quel que soit l’usage qu’ils font du bâtiment, ils doivent respecter certaines normes pour cet usage”, a déclaré Mme Adams à Seaway News.

À l’été 2020, le service de chauffage et d’eau chaude du centre de soins a été interrompu en raison d’un différend entre les propriétaires et Cornwall District Heating (CDH). À cette occasion, la ville de Cornwall a affiché des avis à l’extérieur du centre de soins pour avertir les quelque 45 résidents de la coupure imminente. Les propriétaires ont finalement conclu un accord avec CDH pour rétablir le chauffage et l’eau chaude.

En juillet 2021, Seaway News a visité le Centre de guérison du CMA qui occupait le premier étage du Centre de soins. Le refuge de 11 pièces aurait eu du personnel 24 heures sur 24 et 7 jours sur 7, des zones d’éducation et d’activité physique, des services de conseil sur place, et bien plus encore.

Les services auraient été destinés à

soutenir les personnes aux prises avec des problèmes de toxicomanie, de santé mentale et d’itinérance.

Dans sa déclaration à Seaway News, le chef Benedict a dit qu’il espérait poursuivre le projet de centre de guérison dans un nouvel emplacement.

“Nous continuons à recevoir des appels demandant des services du Centre de guérison d’Akwesasne et nous avons une liste d’attente active”, peut-on lire dans la déclaration du chef Benedict. “Les dépendances, les traitements et le soutien en santé mentale sont des besoins importants pour les jeunes et les adultes d’Akwesasne et des environs. Le Centre de guérison d’Akwesasne nous permettra d’adopter une approche à deux volets pour

aider la communauté. Premièrement, nous pourrons aider les membres de la communauté d’Akwesasne résidant à S. D. G. & A. à sortir de la rue. Deuxièmement, nous serons en mesure de stabiliser et d’évaluer les besoins en matière de santé mentale et de toxicomanie des personnes séjournant au Centre de guérison et de les orienter correctement.”

“Nous sommes interpellés par la perte de notre emplacement initial, mais nous sommes impatients d’aller de l’avant avec un nouvel emplacement”, a-t-il conclu.

Seaway News a contacté le Centre de soins pour obtenir des commentaires, mais n’a pas eu de réponse au moment de la publication.

Retour de la course de raquettes à neige à Summerstown Trails NICK LAURIN Summerstown, ON - Après avoir dû annuler la course de l’an dernier en raison de COVID, les Friends of the Summerstown Trails (FOTST) sont heureux d’annoncer qu’ils organiseront leur course annuelle en raquettes le samedi 12 février prochain.

La course annuelle de raquettes de forêt Dion de Summerstown (7,3 km) fait partie de la série de courses de raquettes Dion Ontario qui se déroule dans divers endroits de l’est de l’Ontario et sera la quatrième course de la saison pour la série de courses. En plus des coureurs locaux, cette course attire des coureurs des régions d’Ottawa, de Kingston et de Montréal.

Le directeur de la course, Gillies Parisien, a établi un tout nouveau parcours pour la course, voulant en faire une véritable course de raquettes à neige à piste unique. «Le nouveau parcours emmènera les participants sur des terrains variés, à travers des conifères, des feuillus et même des zones marécageuses: Et tout cela sur le terrain

vallonné de la forêt de Summerstown. Ce sera une expérience formidable», a déclaré Gilles Parisien, lui-même coureur expérimenté de la course en raquettes.

Comme ce fut le cas ces dernières années, une deuxième course plus courte sera proposée en même temps: la Summerstown Forest Challenge Race (4,2 km); cette course plus courte est conçue pour attirer davantage de coureurs récréatifs locaux et de jeunes coureurs. Les participants aux deux courses sont généralement répartis à parts égales entre les coureurs masculins et féminins.

En raison de COVID, des mesures spéciales seront mises en place pour la course.

«Il n’y aura pas d’inscriptions le jour de la course, les gagnants recevront leurs prix lorsqu’ils franchiront la ligne d’arrivée et les collations d’après-course seront très limitées et services dans des récipients individuels», a ajouté Vic Leroux, président de la FOTST.

Olsonfab fait don de nouveaux équipements au centre de ski Big Ben

Concours LOL reçoit un financement pour son expansion

NICK LAURIN

NICK LAURIN

CORNWALL, Ontario - Le centre de ski Big Ben était ouvert le mardi 1er février pour la journée PA du conseil scolaire du district d’Upper Canada et les enfants qui profitaient de la pente étaient parmi les premiers à essayer le nouvel équipement donné par OlsonFab. OlsonFab a fourni de nouvelles rampes et de nouveaux rails pour la colline, qui ont tous été fabriqués sur mesure.

“J’ai contacté les gens d’OlsonFab pour leur demander s’ils pouvaient ajouter quelque chose au parc à neige, mais je ne m’attendais pas à cela “, a déclaré Brett Lauzon, directeur des opérations du Big Ben Ski Centre.

“C’est incroyable”, poursuit M. Lauzon.

“Maintenant, nous pouvons rivaliser avec un vrai parc à neige”.

Lauzon a expliqué ses efforts pour ajouter plus d’options de loisirs à Big Ben cette saison, notamment un nouveau sentier pédestre autour du site.

Dans le cadre du don d’OlsonFab, un nouveau panneau à la reconnaissance d’OlsonFab a été ajouté au site de Big Ben pour les remercier de leur récent parrainage.

“Je tiens à remercier tous les membres d’OlsonFab, qui se sont vraiment surpassés”, a-t-il déclaré. “Nous espérons que d’autres membres de la communauté voudront s’impliquer. Nous avons de la place pour d’autres sponsors.”

Le Concours LOL - Mort de rire est un programme unique qui a été lancé en 2014, par l’ACFO SDG pour promouvoir la construction identitaire chez les jeunes francophones.

Le concours de cette année a été rendu possible grâce à une collaboration avec RHA Entertainment et Desjardins Group, qui contribuera à hauteur de 100 000 $ à un nouveau projet d’expansion intitulé ‘’au cœur de la sécurité linguistique des jeunes, l’humour renforce la francophonie.” ‘’Le but ultime du concours Mort de rire LOL est de permettre aux jeunes de réaliser qu’il y a une possibilité de faire carrière dans l’humour, mais aussi de pouvoir le faire dans leur communauté sans avoir à aller à Montréal ou dans d’autres grands centres, ou de le faire dans une autre langue que le français’’, a déclaré Martin Racine, vice-président des programmes académiques et directeur des opérations

de RHA Entertainment.

La jeune Veronica se prépare à s’élancer sur les pentes de Big Ben le mardi 1er février 2022 (Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News).

OlsonFab Metal Fabrication a été fondée à Corwnall par Michael et Roger Ladouceur T:9.8333" et est en activité depuis 75 ans.

Selon Céline Baillargon-Tardif, fondatrice du Concours et directrice générale de l’ACFO-SDG, plus de 2 500 élèves du secondaire ont choisi l’humour en français comme façon de développer leurs talents. À partir de l’hiver prochain, l’ACFO-SDG espère susciter l’intérêt des jeunes du Québec et du Nouveau-Brunswick en animant des ateliers.

MCA seeks new location for Healing Centre NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seaway.media

CORNWALL, Ontario - The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne (MCA) has confirmed to Seaway News that they will not be moving forward with their planned Healing Centre at 510 Second St. E., in Cornwall, also known as the former Cornwall General Hospital and currently known as the Care Centre.

“The ongoing dispute between the City of Cornwall and the owner of 510 Second St. has resulted in continued issues with permits and zoning that are out of our control. We are actively seeking a new location for the Akwesasne Healing Centre and are continuing to prioritize this project in order to meet the needs of our homeless population,” reads a statement from MCA Grand Chief Abram Benedict to Seaway News.

The former Cornwall General Hospital was purchased by Dan Orr and Matthew Cinnamon in 2014, who then renamed the site the Care Centre and began marketing it as a residence

MCA Healing Centre which was occupying the first floor of the Care Centre. The 11-room shelter would have had 24/7 staff, education and physical activity areas, onsite counselling, and much more. The services would have been to support those struggling with issues such as addictions, mental health, and homelessness.

Chief Benedict in his statement to Seaway News said that he hoped to continue the Healing Centre project at a new location.

“We continue to take calls requesting services from the Akwesasne Healing Centre and we have an active waiting list,” Benedict’s statement reads. “Addictions, treatment and mental health support are significant needs for youth and adults in and around Akwesasne.

The Akwesasne Healing Centre will give us a two-pronged approach to assisting the community. First, we will be able to assist Akwesasne community members residing in S. D. G. & A in getting off the street. Second, we will be able to stabilize and assess mental health and addiction needs of those staying

for seniors or those who prefer group living accommodations.

Cornwall Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Maureen Adams explained that while she could not comment on the specifics behind the dispute between the City and the Care Centre, she did state that from the City’s perspective, there were areas where the Care Centre was not meeting certain standards required for its current use.

“Whatever they are using the building for from an occupancy perspective, they need to meet certain standards required for that occupancy,” Adams told Seaway News.

In the summer of 2020, heat and hot water service to the Care Centre was disrupted due to a dispute between the owners and Cornwall District Heating (CDH). On that occasion, the City of Cornwall posted notices outside of the Care Centre warning the estimated 45 residents of the pending shut off. The owners eventually reached an agreement with CDH to restore heat and hot water.

PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT

My Special Star In Heaven

We hold you close in memory Even though we are apart, Your spirit will live forever Within our broken hearts.

Our hearts still ache in sadness And secret tears still flow, For what it meant to lose you No one will ever know.

In heaven we shall meet again Where farewell is never spoken, We shall clasp each other hand in hand And the clasp shall never be broken.

Prayers / thank you cards

Holy Spirit, You who make me see everything, and shows me the way to reach my ideals, You who give me the divine gift to forgive and forget all that is done to me; and You who are in all the instances of my life.

With me I want to thank You for everything and to confirm once more, I never want to be separated from You, no matter how great material desires may be. I want to be with You and my loved ones.

A person may pray for this for three days without asking for their wish, after the third day, their wish will be granted no matter how difficult it may be, and promise to publish this dialogue as soon as this favour is granted. Thank you.

C.T.

We would like to extend our heart felt thanks to all the Nurses & Doctors & Support staff for all the compassion, expertise shown to her during her stay at CCH, all of them worked tirelessly during the ongoing pandemic all worked long hours, short staffed at times and always treated patients with a smile. Unfortunealty she contacted Covid 19 while she was there, but thankfully she had received her three vaccines and was able to cope with Covid. She is now at home recovering slowly. We should all be thankful to have CCH here in our community., and we should all support CCH.

Snowshoe race back at SummerstownTrails PROVIDED BY FOTST Summerstown, ON – After having had to cancel last year’s race due to Covid, the Friends of the Summerstown Trails (FOTST) are happy to announce that they will be organizing their annual Snowshoe Race this coming Saturday, February 12.

The annual Summerstown Forest Dion Snowshoe Race (7.3 km) is part of the Dion Ontario Snowshoe Running Series which is held in various locations in Eastern Ontario and will be the fourth race of the season for the race Series. In addition to local runners, this race attracts runners from the Ottawa, Kingston and Montreal areas.

Race director, Gilles Parisien, has set out a

whole new course for the race, wanting to make it a truly single-track snowshoe race.

“The new course will take participants through varied terrain, through conifers, hardwood and even swamp areas. And all of this over the rolling terrain of the Summerstown Forest. It’ll be a great experience” said Gilles Parisien, himself an experienced snowshoe race runner.

As was the case in the last few years, a second shorter race will be offered at the same time: the Summerstown Forest Challenge Race (4.2 km); this shorter race is designed to attract more local recreational runners and younger racers. Participants in both races are usually split evenly between

male and female runners.

Because of Covid, special measures will be in place for the race. “There will be no raceday registrations, winners will get their prizes as they cross the finish line and post-race snacks will be very limited and served in individual containers’’, added FOTST President Vic Leroux.

The start of both races is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Saturday, February 12. Race director Gilles Parisien declared the Summerstown Trails course to be one of the best in the race series.

To register for the race, please visit the FOTST website at www.summerstowntrails. com.
