Seeing the forest and the trees at the Library

DANIEL MARION Cities are now looking at trees with a different lens. Not only are trees beautiful in a city scape, but they are also recognized for many other benefits. The latest science is confirming the health and social benefits that trees bring to a neighborhood. We have heard of carbon sequestration, oxygen production, filtering air pollutants, as well as the reduction of the heat sink effect caused by cities. In addition, we are now talking about the aromatic compounds that calm the nervous system and the social statistics that are showing us other benefits such as crime and vandalism reduction from having green spaces with trees. Unfortunately, in the last few years, the city of Cornwall and surrounding areas have lost about one third of the

value. In collaboration with the library, there are plans for a student art exhibits to promote the Tiny Forest. This project has also been included in an environmental program at Cornwall Collegiate that helped to plant and maintain the forest and there are also plans to build a sign for the project. In addition, there have been conversations with Central Public School to use it as part of an educational curriculum.

This will be the third growing season for the tiny forest, and it has surpassed my expectations. I am a gardener and I have planted hundreds of trees, mostly edible, and this forest has grown faster and stronger than any of the trees I have planted the same year and the year before. Without a doubt, if cities were to plant more trees using this system it would have a significant impact on their future wellbeing.

The Tiny Forest @ Library is a project developed by the Tree Action Arbre, a working group of Transition Cornwall+. It is located on the east side of the Cornwall Public Library at the corner of Second and Sydney Streets in downtown Cornwall, Ontario. Be sure to pay a visit and check its progress.

Three things you should never share on Facebook Using Facebook is a fantastic way to keep in touch with friends and family. However, certain features on the platform can pose a security risk. To protect yourself, never share these three things on Facebook.

1. Your full birth date and place of birth A study from Carnegie Mellon University found that this information could be searched in publicly available databases and bring up your Social Insurance Number. Sharing this information therefore puts you at risk of identity theft.

2. Your mother’s maiden name A common security question for online accounts asks your mother’s maiden name.

Posting this information on Facebook could allow others to access these accounts.

3. A status revealing that you’re on vacation This may be interesting for your friends to hear about, but it may also be interesting for burglars, as it notifies them your house is empty.

Recently, the New York Times reported on a gang of burglars in New Hampshire who used the tactic of scouring Facebook for

a forest-based ecosystem. When you build a new tiny forest, you must start by eliminating the grass, which is a species of plant that supports a totally different soil ecosystem from trees. The next step is to lay down a generous amount of organic matter followed by several inches of wood chips. Fortunately for this project the city was able to supply several tons of leaf compost for the organic matter and wood chips that came from the dead ash being cut down. Such a soil foundation becomes home for mycorrhizal fungi, which we now know as the key ingredient in a forest. Mycorrhizal fungi are nature’s internet, allowing the trees to exchange information and nutrients. This underground communication can protect trees from drought, pests and pathogens that can cause disease.

Mycorrhizal fungi help build the soil structure that the trees need. With this technique, trees are planted closer together and thrive much better, as in a forest setting, than in a traditional landscape plan. They race with each other to take advantage of the sunlight which creates taller and straighter trees.

The installation of the Tiny Forest at the library has created some conversations about these subjects and helps people to see their

urban tree canopy due to the emerald ash borer. We have also witnessed how deforestation has been devastating our municipal tree cover as well as our rural forests.

In 2019, during the rebuilding of Sydney Street infrastructure, the city had to make the decision to remove several mature trees growing in a patch of lawn by the Cornwall Public Library. With old trees being removed there was an opportunity to plant new ones.

Coincidentally, a technique was being promoted about foresting small plots of land, known as the Miyawaki tiny forests. This method incorporates the characteristics of a mature forest in a newly planted tiny forest. Through supercharging the soil and thereby accelerating the growth of the trees to replicate decades of natural succession that would have occurred on the land. The Tree Action Arbre group thought that this tiny forest strategy would work here at the city center library location and that a small project such as this one could bring more attention to the importance of trees in our environment.

A mature forest has a dense mat of organic matter made of leaves, twigs and branches which supply the perfect conditions to support

Kinsmen support CCH with $12.5K donation PROVIDED BY THE KINSMEN CLUB OF CORNWALL Since 1933, the Cornwall Kinsmen Club has raised funds through a range of activities and invested these funds in order to meet the Community’s Greatest Needs. These needs change from year to year and thus we adjust the flow of funds accordingly. To assist us in our strategic process we have identified 7 broad categories: • Relief of Poverty; • Advancement of Education; • Culture and the Arts; • Health and Welfare; • Enhancement of Youth; • Enhancement of Public Safety and; • Community Service.

Over the last year, a strategic planning process was undertaken internally to determine

the levels of funding that would be allocated to each of these broad categories.

All community applications received were reviewed by members of the Cornwall Kinsmen Club and a budget for the year was established.

Groups may still submit requests during the year for consideration – application form is available on our web site.

As part of our Health & Welfare category, we are pleased today to announce a donation to the Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation in the amount of $ 12,500 to help purchase equipment for the Urology department.

The Kinsmen Club wishes to thank all our community supporters that make these donations possible. TV Bingo players & merchants, participants at some of our events (Kinsmen Farmers Market, Pizza Party) and our other fundraising events.

CORNWALL, Ontario - Msgr. Kevin Maloney is marking an important anniversary this week. Friday, Feb. 11 marks the 50th year since Msgr. Maloney was ordained into the Catholic priesthood.

Born and raised in the Cornwall area, Maloney had never considered a life of service to God until he was a teenager.

Raised in a Catholic family, Maloney initially hoped to be a teacher, until he was asked by a priest when he was in Grade 11 of high school if he every considered joining the priesthood.

After attending university in Nova Scotia, and London, Maloney entered the seminary and was ordained at the age of 25.

Maloney said at that time, he could not imagine the kind of changes the world and the Church’s place in it would undergo over the next 50 years.

“The biggest change today is the number of people who attend church on a regular basis,” Msgr. Maloney said, attributing the growing influence of a secular society. “The challenge is to meet people where they are at and bring to them the message of the Gospel.”

Advice Mgsr. Maloney would give to a young man about to be ordained into the priesthood would be to be open to change.

“Be open to the possibility of change and don’t be stuck in your vision of what the church is,” he said.

Maloney does not believe that there is a decline in people who are seeking spiritual fulfillment however. Maloney explained that

Msgr. Kevin Maloney at the altar of St. Frances de Sales Church on Thursday morning, February 10, 2022 (Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News). while his in-person attendance for Mass is around 30-45 people, those who view his service’s live stream are in the hundreds. He began offering a live stream of his Mass in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“There is a deep sprirituality in people,” he said. “There is a deep search for spirituality, for God, but less for the organized institutions of all religions.”

While Maloney admitted that adapting to changes in spirituality in a growing secular society has been a challenge, one of his best experiences as a priest has been helping those in need through their hardships, and also being there for special moments in the lives of those in the community like wedding ceremonies.

Are there no limits?

In any true democracy, the right to protest is most certainly sacrosanct. But I have yet to read of anybody questioning whether doing so, accompanied by a 40 000 kg truck, is permissible. Are there now no limits? In my day, I am proud to admit having had cause to exercise my democratic right, taking part a fair number of demonstrations, one involving 50 000 protesters - all totally respectful, with nary an audible expletive, let alone one patently visible for any kid to see.

On every single occasion, the organizers first were required to inform the police, in order to ensure not only all-round safety, but minimal inconvenience to the general public. Never once was permission refused.

Above all else, one thing was patently obvious to all concerned - this all had to be peacefully accomplished all in one day.

Moreover, it had to be done on foot, bearing

only placards, banners, and tolerable ‘noise-makers’. No cars. No trucks. And most certainly no blockades, even for a single minute. What on earth has happened? Have these fundamental rules and requirements changed? Does ‘anything go’ in Canada in 2022? If not, then surely a potentially explosive demonstration - one which fails to get authorization and fails to adhere to these basic parameters - needs to be summarily nipped in the bud by those in authority. It is not just the illegal occupiers who merit our castigation and condemnation. Those of all stripes who are supposedly ‘in charge’ - first of our capital city and now of our bridges - have a lot to answer for. « Peace, order and good government » - our Founding Fathers’ ghosts must surely be wondering why they even bothered.

In response to the Mayor

T:12.5"

“Addressing Mayor Glen Grant’s, Three minutes with the Mayor article dated February 9, 2022” I wish to take this opportunity to thank Cornwall’s Mayor Glen Grant for publicly educating us Canadians regarding our Canadian Charter of RIGHTS and FREEDOM. Mayor Glen Grant stated in his article that the current Protest in Ottawa has demonstrated symbols of hatred and other examples of incitement to cause harm to public and private property.

I believe those few stated examples were carried out buy a couple of agitators, solely for the purpose of shedding a negative light on the Trucker’s Convoy Of Freedom demonstration.

(The truckers themselves quickly addressed the actions of those few sited individuals.)The main stream Media then, very quickly went to work spreading this PROPAGANDA to influence public opinion.

Mayor Grant went on to say that there have been explanations for the demonstration, such as the truckers vaccine mandates, but that he felt it hard to believe, since the majority of truckers were vaccinated. He has obviously not been paying attention to the demonstration or else he would’ve realized that the protest is being carried out not only by thousands of Canadian truckers, Country wide ,but also by hundreds of thousands of Canadians objecting to the Government’s vaccine mandates.

I have personally attended the truckers convoy of freedom and witnessed along with many many other Canadians the demonstration in question.

I wonder, did Mayor Grant take the time to attend Ottawa and witness for himself the truly Peaceful, Respectful coming together of Canadians, families and complete strangers alike whose sole purpose was to gain back their Rights and Freedoms, so vividly explained to us in his article, that have been stripped away from us during the past two years.

If Mayor Grant did not personally attend,,

Across the province, more workers are joining the skilled trades as resources and industries in the north become part of the future of clean steel and electric vehicles.

More jobs are being created by building new bridges and highways, expanding public transit and constructing new homes—all for a growing province. Home-grown businesses are manufacturing more of the things we rely on.

Ontario’s economy is getting stronger.

then some may suggest that he is acting on hearsay and if that is true, then some may feel that he may be part of the existing problem by perpetrating the very lies spread by the suspected government owned main stream media, or people with hidden agendas.

I disagree with Cornwall’s Mayor Grant’s comment,”It is time to end this unruly and unlawful protest” Where did he receive the information that the demonstration was an UNRULY and UNLAWFUL PROTEST....

The Courts have determined that the protest is “LEGAL”.

Unlawful, is When the Prime Minister of Canada insights hatred by calling unvaccinated Canadians, Racist, Misogynists and Extremists.

Unlawful ,is when police officers, who took an oath to uphold the laws, to serve and protect, steal from law abiding Canadian citizens who are exercising their God-given right to protest.

Unlawful, is when persons in authority issue unlawful orders to those officers to commit Criminal offences.

IS this article, the Mayor’s personal opinion, which he, as a Canadian, has a RIGHT to express or that of his official office, because, if it is the latter, he certainly does not speak for a large number of Cornwall citizens that DO SUPPORT this Demonstration for our Canadian Rights and Freedom.....

Some may believe that, this Three Minutes with the Mayor’s article is POLITICAL...

I am proud to be a Canadian, I am vaccinated and I fully support the people in Ottawa and throughout Canada that are fighting to protect our Rights and Freedom, whether we are vaccinated or unvaccinated...

Stand up to bullying on Pink Shirt Day

Common characteristics of school bullies

NICK LAURIN CORNWALL, ON - The community is wearing pink to celebrate the annual Boys and Girls Club Pink Shirt Day on Wednesday, Feb 23.

The goal of this day is to help spread positive, and anti-bullying messages across the community.

While some children become bullies in kindergarten, others don’t start harassing people until they reach high school. It’s important to identify individuals who may be at risk of becoming bullies to help anticipate and prevent this type of behaviour.

In general, school bullies tend to have the following characteristics:

“The past has been tough on all of us. The pandemic has hit kids really hard, but we are all feeling degrees of isolation. In times of uncertainty is when we need each other the most. It starts with kindness - towards each other, and towards ourselves.

Kindness connects us, and Pink Shirt Day is to remind us to come together and create moments of positivity. Together we spread positivity and begin conversation around anti-bullying strategies. Our kids need to feel supported. Feel safe. Feel a sense of belonging,” said Jacquie Richards, Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Club.

• They’re dominant and impulsive • They have anger management issues • They’re controlling • They lack empathy and remorse • They have difficulty respecting authority figures and following rules • They’re physically stronger than their peers • They’re often perceived as popular and have high self-esteem

Shirts are donated to kids in the community.

This year we anticipate 500 shirts will be donated to youth in the community.”

In some cases, bullying can stem from underlying mental health issues. In addition, children who are abused or neglected are more likely to bully other kids.

The Boys and Girls Club hopes to sell 4000 Pink Shirts this year, whilst donating 100% of the proceeds to continue supporting BGC’s anti-bullying initiatives, throughout the month at all of their locations.

Each year, the Boys and Girls Club has over 100 Pink Shirt Day sponsors and community organization supporters.

“Our community embraces Pink Shirt Day, and supports BGC programs,” said Jacquie.

“As part of being a Pink Shirt sponsor, Pink

If you believe your child is bullying others, it’s important to take action. In addition to reaching out to the involved parties, consider consulting with a doctor, therapist or other health professional.

Furthermore, it’s possible for bullying to cross the line into criminal conduct.

Cyberbullying might lead to breaking the law if it involves criminal harassment, making threats, extortion or defamatory libel, among other things.

Fixing rural education means everyone should be at the table NICK SEEBRUCH

8 - Wednesday, February 16, 2022

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

In my six years at Seaway News a recurring story has been the state of rural education in the United Counties of SD&G. I began at Seaway News in July of 2016.

That September, the Catholic and public English language school boards issued their draft Pupil Accommodation Review (PAR) report which called for significant restructuring of schools and student spaces in the region. Schools in Ingleside, Long Sault, Williamstown, Lancaster and even Cornwall were put up on the chopping block for closure.

The issuing of this draft report kicked off a movement, really, and a battle that in many ways continues to this day nearly six years later.

Parents and students rallied together to save their schools. Some, like those at Rothwell-Osnabruck in Ingleside, and CharLan in Williamstown were successful in sparing their schools from cuts; others like SJ McLeod were closed, and some, like CCVS and St. Lawrence Secondary School in Cornwall will be closed in the near future as the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) prepares to build a new amalgamated school.

As an observer, I saw this process pit school board administrators and trustees, who were attempting to follow their provincial mandate to meet the requirements of their budgets, against students, parents and local politicians who wanted to keep

their schools and their kids in their communities.

Five-and-a-half years later, and this divide is still very much present.

Late last year, the United Counties of SD&G commissioned a report analyzing the state of rural education. The results of this report identified both challenges and assets that rural education is currently facing.

Some of the challenges the report points to include multiple school boards competing for the same pool of students, inconsistent delivery of programming across schools, and administrators viewing education as a business rather than a public service.

The report culminated on Feb. 7 with a symposium hosted by the United Counties of SD&G with speakers who were all veterans in fighting school closures whether they be locally or from other parts of the province and beyond.

Not invited to speak at the symposium were school boards, who were also not asked to provide their own views on rural education in the report commissioned by the Counties.

Now, six years ago, during the PAR process, I was shocked to see so many rural communities that were facing the loss of their local school, and the prospect of seeing their kids riding on the bus for as long as an hour to go to another school in a different community.

That being said, that was then, and this is

now. School boards should have been asked for their views in the report, and they should have been invited to speak at the symposium.

“We can’t be on separate sides on how we go forward on rural education,” is what Todd Lalonde, the Chair of the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) told me last week. “But that’s where we are at in this community right now.”

I also understand the school board’s mindset during the PAR process in 2016, even though I didn’t agree with it and still don’t. They are tasked with being financially sustainable, and that really, is what it all comes down to, finances and funding.

Ultimately, the people with the real power to fix rural education are the politicians in Queen’s Park and they are the ones who need to be lobbied to make rural education financially sustainable. The fight to make rural education sustainable and to get the dollars needed to keep rural schools open will require a united front between school

Human Trafficking Awareness Day IN THE KNOW WITH SASS DEVIN COUCHMAN

February 22nd marks National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. You might be reading this and wondering why I’m talking about Human Trafficking today. You might be thinking that this doesn’t happen in our communities. The truth is that there are

high numbers of teenage girls and young women who are targeted in our communities and trafficked.

While anyone can be at risk of being trafficked, research does show that some are more at risk than others. Those at higher risk include homeless or marginalized youth, youth struggling with self-esteem, bullying, discrimination, abuse, isolation, and other social and family issues, and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Colour) youth.

Now that we’ve discussed who can be trafficked, it’s important to discuss signs that someone might be being trafficked.

Some behaviour changes can include

staying out more often and later, absent from school or decline in school performance, new or worsening anxiety, paranoia, or depression. Those being trafficked may withdraw or isolate themselves from friends and family, suddenly make a new friend that they want to spend all their time with or have a new boyfriend/girlfriend/ friend whom they don’t introduce to family or friends. There are also physical signs to look out for, including: wearing new and very different clothing from their norm, having new clothes or jewelry that they shouldn’t be able to afford, or having a new or second cell phone.

The good news is that there is a lot that

boards, municipal governments, and the grassroots movements that have been fighting so hard for their communities. That however, is easier said than done. There will need to be a lot of negotiation I think between trustees, administrators and community organizers to find that much needed common ground.

The fight is not done. Rural education really does have some systemic issues that need to be addressed. Rural schools are vital to their communities. Rural schools are meeting places and economic drivers, not just places of learning. Students shouldn’t spend an hour on the bus to go to a school outside of their community. The rural education report commissioned by the United Counties of SD&G has valuable insights into rural education and should not be left on a shelf somewhere to gather dust.

What do you think of the state of rural education, readers?

Email me a Letter to the Editor to nseebruch@seawaynews.media

we can do to help those who are being trafficked and it can start in the home. If you’re seeing any of these signs in someone you know, talk to them. Let them know that you’re concerned and that they can tell you if they need help with anything. Open communication can go a long way. At SASS we have a Human Trafficking counsellor who specializes in helping teens and women aged 16+ who have been or are currently being trafficked. There are also other supports available in our community.

A female protester at the Ottawa Wellington Street encampment told a television reporter that the hostage-taking was about freedom. “This isn’t China,” she told the reporter.

Thanks for the geography lesson. There are probably a lot of nursery school kids who didn’t know that we aren’t living in Asia.

But she is spot on. This isn’t China. This is Canada.

If this were China, the tanks would have been rolling down Wellington Street on Day One. If this were China the group that tore down the fence erected around the war monument after it was desecrated would had been hauled off to jail. Might even have had their finger nails ripped out.

If this were China she wouldnít be standing in Tinamin Square with a sign that told President Xi to go screw himself while complaining about the lack of freedom.

It would be one of those now your see her, now you donít after she was enrolled in a ‘re-education’ camp.

Another protester said he was fighting so his grand kiddies will have the same kind of freedom he (a baby boomer) and his parents enjoyed when a kid. Perhaps most of our parents missed the memo, but I don’t recall any “freedom of choice” when it came to polio vaccinations given out in the school gym. And during the Second World War, Canadians didn’t receive an invitation to join the military. *********** If the local legal profession has an iron man award, somebody should nominate

Maurice “Moe” Gatien when the call goes out for the 2022 nominations Hey, how many 74-year-olds take a rugged 100-kilometre February stroll from Cornwall to the Parliament Buildings three days after being ambushed in his law office by a masked intruder, kayo’d in the struggle and rushed to hospital by ambulance, where, fortunately, the skilled medical folks at Cornwall Community Hospital, found no brain damage. (Please, no lawyer jokes.

This is serious stuff) (Note to the 70-plus gang reading this: Moe Gatien is not an ordinary 74-year-old.

He looks far younger than 74, eats all the “good stuff”, cycles for miles and runs marathons. Please Moe. You are making the rest of us look bad.)

According to a report by the Eastern Ontario Health Alliance - not to be confused with the health unit with a similar name not only was the attack on Moe intentional, but that the foul-mouthed, gutless thug intentionally tried to hurt the lawyer’s feelings by calling him an old man. Hate to put pressure on Cornwall Police Service investigators, but gawd, you have to burn the midnight oil to get this monster off the street. And if this guy is convicted, he should be banned from going within 100 miles of a senior citizens building. With any kind of luck, he’ll get a 70-year-old judge.

Call me a hard ass, but if I’m attacked and knocked out, the last thing I’d be concerned about is my feelings being hurt. You know, “Sticks and stones might break my bones but names will never hurt me.”

Any way, the good news is that Moe made it to the illegal Wellington Street encampment, got a rousing reception from the folks, many of them lawbreakers, made a wonderful speech and, thank goodness, had a ride back to Cornwall. *********** Ads published by an anti-mandate/vax

Releasing bananas and pomegranates Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

Kindergarten kids tend to be somewhat helpless as far as getting dressed for winter recess, unscrewing jar lids and doing up shoe laces. As a supply teacher I was amazed at one youngster’s independence when confronted with the task of unpeeling his lunch banana.

The next day when I saw him about to unpeel a banana I asked him to teach me how it’s done. “Sure, hold the stem really, really tight, with the banana facing in the smiling way. Hold

it way, way up…then surprise it by snapping it down real quick…then stop just as quick, as soon as it reaches your knees. There! Peel’s cracked open. Done.”

This is for the adults in my reading audience: the forces needed in those two snappings are equivalent to the 8G jolts experienced when a jet fighter is catapulted off a carrier, then arrested by a cable upon returning to the deck.

Zero to 200 kph, then 200 kph back to zero.

Releasing the juicy seeds from a pomegranate requires the technique of a brain surgeon.

I was appalled when I learned of a friend’s brutal manner of accessing the contents of the turtle carapace-like shell of the delicious fruit.

He said, “I just cut it in half. Makes a bloody mess, but it works.”

I gave him this lesson. “Treat the pomegranate as if it were a globe. With a sharp knife score its hard but thin mantle at its Equator.

Then add the Pole-to-Pole lines of the Meridian of Greenwich and the International date line.

Cut at least six more lines of longitude. I do 75°W for Ingleside, 69°W for Qaanaaq (formerly known as Thule), 123°W for Whistler (where my son Kris hangs out), 158°W for Honolulu, 116°E for the 2022 winter Olympics site and 77°E, the origin of most callers who offer to clean my ducts or provide better internet security.”

“Next, slice off both polar caps, at about 85°N and 85°S. Now you’re ready to carefully but firmly pry segments of the skin apart.

Enjoy!”

A great day for a race CAROL GODDARD, SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS SUMMERSTOWN, Ontario – Hosted by the Friends of the Summerstown Forest, the 2022 Summerstown Forest Challenge Race and Summerstown Forest Dion Snowshoe Race was held on February 12. The mild weather was enjoyed by the volunteers, spectators and participants who gathered at the Summerstown Forest prior to the 10 a.m. start.

Race Director Gilles Parisien explained the Summerstown Forest Challenge Race is part of the Dion Eastern Ontario Snowshoe Running Series. The event is sponsored by Dion Snowshoes with Parisien explaining the company makes “the only truly modular snowshoe made right here in North America.”

This series is held at several locations in Eastern Ontario and attracts people from many parts of Ontario and Quebec. Parisien continued this race will be held on what he

described as an ungroomed “single track snowshoe trail.”

“It’s going to be a good race” commented participant Lisa Leskien of Sydenham as she waited for the race to begin. Following last minute instructions from Parisien, participants made their way to the starting line of the race and shortly after 10 a.m., a horn sounded and they were off!

Jacques and Deborah Tessier are two of the many volunteers from the Friends of the Summerstown group which were on hand.

Deborah explained they have been enjoying the forest for over 40 years ago, with Jacques explaining they enjoy volunteering for their community.

Peter Quevillon from St. Thomas was the winner of the 4.2 km race, with Bancroft’s Bernie Hogan being the first across the finish line in the Summerstown Forest Dion Snowshoe Race. Proceeds from the race will be provided to Beyond 21 in Cornwall.

Un nouveau service de bibliothèque au Centre Benson NICK LAURIN

CORNWALL, Ontario - La Bibliothèque publique de Cornwall a lancé un nouveau service de bibliothèque de romans au Centre Benson le jeudi 10 février 2022.

Le kiosque NovelBranch est une mini-bibliothèque qui contient 150 volumes de la collection de la bibliothèque de Cornwall. Le kiosque fonctionne un peu comme un distributeur automatique. Les personnes possédant une carte de la bibliothèque de Cornwall en règle peuvent utiliser le code à barres de leur carte pour accéder au kiosque et retirer les livres de leur choix.

Grâce à la technologie d’identification par

radiofréquence (RFID), le kiosque permet de savoir quels livres sont retirés et quels livres sont retournés, et de communiquer ces informations au système informatique de la Bibliothèque publique de Cornwall.

La directrice générale de la Bibliothèque publique de Cornwall, Helen McCutcheon, a déclaré que la bibliothèque surveillera de près l’utilisation du kiosque pour évaluer l’intérêt du service et les types de livres les plus populaires auprès des clients qui l’utilisent. Pour le moment, le kiosque contient des exemplaires des livres les plus populaires de la bibliothèque, notamment des romans pour jeunes adultes, des livres pour enfants, des thrillers, des mystères, des

romans d’amour, des romans d’action, des romans en français, etc. La bibliothèque ajoutera une boîte à suggestions au Benson Centre afin que les utilisateurs puissent soumettre leurs propres idées de contenu pour le kiosque. En plus d’utiliser une carte de bibliothèque pour accéder au kiosque, l’application pour téléphone portable de la bibliothèque peut également être utilisée. Le personnel de la bibliothèque sera présent au Benson Centre de 10 h à 16 h pour aider les nouveaux utilisateurs à se familiariser avec ce nouveau service. Le kiosque NovelBranch coûte environ 35 000 $ et son entretien coûtera à la bibliothèque environ 15 000 $ par an.

La directrice générale de la bibliothèque, Helen McCutcheon, retire quelques livres du kiosque NovelBranch de la bibliothèque publique de Cornwall, au Centre Benson, le jeudi 10 février 2022 (Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News).

démontrer qu’ils répondent à au moins une des initiatives économiques régionales identifiées par SDG.

Death notices

After a long life well lived, our dear mother passed away in her 102nd year at the Empress Kanata on February 8, 2022. She was predeceased by her beloved husband Earl, parents Earle and Beatrice Tilton, sister Melba Julien, brother Garnet Tilton and great-grandson Garrett Watcke. Left with countless loving memories are her children – Sandra Watcke (Richard), Sharon Kennedy (Daniel) and Shelley Fredericks (Colin); her grandchildren – Craig Watcke (Molly), Marc Watcke (Kelly), Alison Kennedy, Jeremy Kennedy (Elizabeth), Steven Kennedy (Tabetha Pickup) and Jillian Fredericks (Graham Wight); her great-grandchildren – Hannah Watcke, Emma and Daniel Watcke, Andrew, Rachael and Evelyn Kennedy, Harper and Hudson Wight. She will also be fondly remembered by extended family and friends. Inez was especially proud of her family. She had a kind and loving heart, a beautiful smile and was a true friend. Inez had a tremendous sense of style and she never went anywhere without adding her coordinating earrings, necklace, and bracelet. An avid bridge player for over 70 years, Inez especially enjoyed playing duplicate bridge. Inez was a working mom who loved to cook and entertain, to sew clothes for herself and daughters, creatively decorate her home, and enjoyed playing golf. Inez and Earl travelled extensively, including trips to England, Malaysia, Singapore, across Canada and throughout the United States. Inez’s family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional kind and compassionate care provided by the staff of the Empress Kanata, CLIN Personal Care workers, and the Palliative Care Team of Bayshore HealthCare. Internment and a memorial service will be held at the St. Lawrence Valley Cemetery, Ingleside, Ontario, in the spring. In memoriam donations to a charity of choice.

STEWART, Keith Frank - passed away peacefully at the Cornwall Community Hospital on February 7, 2022.

Keith was born in Cornwall Township on January 27, 1934. He and his siblings Neil, Duane, Dale and Lois grew up along the shores of the canal where they happily spent their time fishing, swimming and skating. They worked hard, even weeding carrots for a local farmer, earning 5c/day to pay for a movie. Keith worked for Domtar for 41 years as a machinist and retired as Mechanical Superintendent in 1993. It was outside of work that he made the most impact.

STEWART, Keith had an outstanding career as a motorcycle racer for 9 years, sponsored Keith Frank

by BSA New Jersey for 6 of those. Racing took him across Canada and the US, resulting in him winning the Canadian Road Racing, Ontario and Canadian ½ Mile Flat Track, and Canadian Grass Track Championships. Keith was a proud member of the Monument of Champions at Daytona Beach and was into the Cornwall Sports Hall of Fame. Keith also excelled in hockey LAHAIE & inducted and lacrosse as a goalie, both as a player and a coach for many years.

SULLIVAN Keith loved being outdoors and enjoyed hunting and fishing which took Cornwall him from Newfoundland to BC and Alaska. He and his dad built “the camp” Funeral Homes in the early 60s which gave family and friends the opportunity to go boating, hunting, fishing or just to experience rustic living. There were many laughs and stories about the camp that continues to provide a chance to get away from it all.

Keith could build or rebuild anything. His woodworking skills developed into furniture making and led to teaching at GVSS post-retirement. Keith, Neil and Dale were always working together to repair and build their homes and toys. His beloved fruit trees and garden continue to produce a bounty of food which he generously shared with local food banks.

Keith and Waveney loved their trips to Mexico, Cuba and Hawaii. He actually got a bit lazy in the sun and could spend his day lying on the beach soaking in the heat. They also enjoyed Alaskan cruises, trips to northern US and all across Canada.

Keith was the beloved husband of Waveney Stewart (Stuart) and father of Brian and Shawna. Pre-deceased

by Shelley Ann (infant daughter), parents Captain Frank Stewart and Helen Stewart (Dawson) sister Lois Cherry (Don) and brother Dale (Marlene). Survived by siblings Neil (Olga) and Duane (Irene) and many nieces and nephews.

Funeral arrangements are under the care and direction of Lahaie and Sullivan Cornwall Funeral Homes, West Branch (613-932-8482). By request, cremation has taken place. A Memorial Service will be held at St. John’s Presbyterian Church on Friday, February 18th, 2022 at 1pm.

Jeff will always be cherished by his siblings; Kevin Stang (Nam) of Cornwall, Cathy Carson (Brent) of Charlotte, North Carolina, Shelley Coleman (Jeff) of Monkland and Brent Stang (Andrea) of Ingleside. He will be missed by his mother-inlaw Catherine (née Kenny) Levac (the late George Levac), and his in-laws Gilles Levac (Karen) of Cornwall, Sara Blacker (Dan) of Ottawa and Allison Levac (Gregg Robideau) of Oxford Mills. Treasured uncle to Cynthia, Tasha, Josh, Jordan, Braeden, Spencer, the late Matthew, James, Nathan, William, Hunter and Morgan and his grand-nephew Jaxon. Predeceased by his parents Bernard (Kelly) Stang and Elizabeth “Betty” (neé Poirier). He has now been reunited with his dear friends Antonio Teodoro and Andy Tardiff.

Jeff loved to share his in depth knowledge of movies. He loved a practical joke and regaled many family gatherings with his mischievous exploits.

His infectious smile and laugh were hard to resist. Jeff had a deep love of dogs and his pets were his cherished companions. In his childhood, Jeff enjoyed building Legos and he turned that passion into an avid collection as an adult, which he shared with his daughter, nieces and nephews.

If they are listed on the mortgage as well, It could affect their children`s First Time Home Buyer incentives. There are many things to consider when making that decision, make sure to sit down and talk with a Realtor® they are educated when it comes to this area.

4 benefits of working for a family business No matter what industry they’re in, family businesses are unique. If you’re loo­king for a new job, here are some of the advantages of working for one.

1. They offer a sense of belonging. If you don’t want to feel like a number, joining a family-owned business is the right choice.

You’ll likely be part of a small, close-knit team that’s truly invested in your well-being.

2. They subscribe to strong values. Family businesses are generally driven by strong values such as reliability, trust, respect, solidarity and transparency. These values are reflected in the way they treat their customers, sup­pliers, partners and employees.

3. They tend to endure for a long time.

Since family businesses are passed down from one generation to the next, they continue to develop and grow over the years. This changing of hands keeps things fresh and ensures the com­­pany continues to thrive.

4. They have a good reputation. Family businesses have a strong interest in pro­tecting their reputation to encourage pride in the family name. They not only want to present a positive image to their customers, but they

also want their em­ployees to speak well of them.

If you want to be part of a company run by a devoted and caring team, consider working for a family business.
