Making Brave Noise nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Rurban Brewing tapped into their batch of Brave Noise brew on Saturday, March 26.

Rurban is brewing up a batch of Brave Noise beer. Brave Noise is not just a beer, but also a movement dedicated to calling out discrimination, harassment, and sexual assault in the brewing industry.

March is International Women’s Month, and Karen and Andy Rorabeck chose to brew and sell Brave Noise this month to support women working in the brewing industry and to help support local non-profit agencies. “It is our commitment to show that Rurban is a safe environment for women, BIPOC, and LGHTQAI+ peoples,” said Karen Rorabeck.

Karen and Andy had help from a team of female brewers who helped to make Brave Noise.

Christina Spait, Guylayne Galvin, Ashley Buxton and Bridget Roussy all worked together to brew Brave Noise.

“I didn’t realize what goes on behind the scenes,” said Galvin. “The beer is delicious and it is worth the work.

“It was nice to get a chance to work together,” said Roussy who said that she’s brewed beer at home on occasion and has taken part in previous International Women’s Month brew days with Rurban.

Part of the proceeds raised by the sale of Brave Noise will go to support the Coalition for Unity Respect, Equality (CUREA), and Maison Baldwin House, a women’s shelter.

The Encore Education Centre is in Post-COVID, Full Operation!

PROVIDED BY ENCORE EDUCATION CENTRE “Youth” (to paraphrase George Bernard Shaw) “is wasted on the young.” Perhaps, but education is wasted on no one, especially those advanced enough to appreciate it-and indeed to follow their passions for learning! Imagine, at a mature age, unlocking many of life’s mysteries-and without leaving Cornwall! To study for the sheer pleasure of learning, and to join together with others to discover what you always wanted to! And there are no exams, no homework.

Where does this happen you ask? At the Encore Education Centre located at 146 Chevrier Avenue in the heart of Cornwall. Encore is a non-profit organization that has been delivering educational courses and information sessions to Cornwall adults 50+ for the past 24 years. Most sessions are two hours in length and are offered in the daytime with a session starting mid-morning and another running from

early to mid-afternoon. The Centre has street level access with lots of parking.

Who typically shows up at Encore? I suppose the “young-at-heart” senior who is not necessarily ready for the more traditional activities aimed at the older community. People who want to learn simply for the love of learning. We find also that once people start coming to Encore that for some it soon becomes an important social engagement activity.

On March 28 launched our Spring Program.

Here are some of the offerings. “Life in Antarctica,” “Beliefs, Practices, Values of Islam,” “Vimy Ridge,” “Scotland 1707 & English Gold,” “Climate Reality,” “Central America, an Overview,” “Retirement Living Options,” “Advance Care Planning,” “Where is Belize?” ‘’Meditate? Yes I Can,” and “Art Begins-Science Leaves Off.” A complete listing and how to sign up can be found on our website, www.encorecornwall.com or give us a call at (613) 937-1525.

Car tech It’s not uncommon for elderly drivers to feel less than confident on the road. Fortunately, there are now a host of automotive innovations that can make driving easier and safer.

ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY Most cars today come with driver assistance technology. This includes infrared parking assistance, cruise control, electronic stability control, cornering lights, blind-spot detection and other features that can help keep you safe. Some vehicles also come with a built-in eCall emergency service that allows drivers to directly communicate with emergency responders if needed.

IMPROVED DESIGN Automakers are tweaking vehicle design to make handles and knobs more ergonomic for people with limited dexterity, including individuals with arthritis. In addition, vehicles are now being designed with lower door sills, longer sun visors and easy-to-adjust seats and steering wheels for added comfort.

When purchasing or leasing your next vehicle, make sure to look for the latest technological features available.

Indoor waterpark planned for Cornwall NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – At their meeting on Monday, March 28, Cornwall City Council approved the sale of 40 acres of land in the Cornwall Business Park to Great Wolf Resorts, a company that specializes in indoor waterpark experiences.

Based in the United States, Great Wolf Resorts has 18 locations across the U.S. and one location currently in Canada in Niagra Falls, ON. “We continuously explore opportunities to bring the Great Wolf Lodge family resort experience to more audiences. We are currently evaluating the prospect of developing one of our signature indoor water parks in eastern Ontario and were pleased to learn Cornwall City Council approved the Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS) for a parcel of land within the Cornwall Business Park, an area we determined could support a future Great Wolf Lodge resort,” said Steven Jacobsen, Vice President Domestic Development, Great Wolf Resorts. “We appreciate the support for this endeavour from Cornwall Economic Development, Cornwall Tourism and the City of Cornwall

as their partnership has been invaluable.

The APS is a critical step in the process as we continue to pursue the opportunity for a resort in Cornwall.”

Cornwall Mayor Glen Grant praised the waterpark deal in a statement. “We are very pleased that Great Wolf Resorts is interested in investing in Cornwall.

Cornwall City Council considers this potential development to offer significant benefits to City, region and Provincial economy.

We look forward to continuing to work with Great Wolf Resorts as they undertake their due diligence and we welcome future development applications,” Mayor Grant’s statement reads.

This purchase is just the latest in a series of purchases made in the Cornwall Business Park so far this year.

In January, Council approved the sale of 6.1, 62, 80, and 10-acre plots of land to Fair view Garage, Safavieh Home Furnishings Limited, Broccolini Investments Inc. and Kingland Investments respectively.

In Januar y, Cornwall Economic Development Officer Bob Peters said that at that time, the City was selling land in the Business Park for $50,000 an acre.

Mayor and MP make statements on Cumberland Gardens attempt at a “reno-viction” scheme,” Duncan’s statement reads. “Your strategy, especially by refusing to talk to local officials on a reasonable plan for your tenants, is obvious and it’s shameful. I firmly believe the Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board will see right through your carelessness, use the existing provincial laws in place to protect against this, and order a staggered renovation schedule rather than a mass eviction all at one time.”

Duncan concluded his letter by inviting Bedford to come and discuss the situation with him.

Housing Program: to determine if they are eligible for housing-related programs administered by the City, tenants need to apply for assistance through the Housing Programs Division.

Editor’s Note: Any tenant who is being evicted by their landlord for the sake of renovations has a right to first refusal. If the tenant tells the landlord in writing that they intent to return to the unit, the landlord must offer them the first right of refusal AT THEIR ORIGINAL RENTAL RATE. Note: As a tenant be careful when signing any agreements with or accepting any payment from a landlord who intends to evict you for the sake of renovations. It may void your right to first refusal.

CORNWALL, Ontario – On the week of March 25, both Cornwall Mayor Glen Grant and Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry MP Eric Duncan released statements in reaction to the “renovictions” at Cumberland Gardens.

At the end of February, the tenants living in the 100 units that comprise Cumberland Gardens received notices from their landlord, Bedford Properties & Estates Ltd. that they were being evicted so that renovations could be done to the property.In a statement released by Mayor Grant on Friday, March 25 he acknowledged the anger that the situation at Cumberland Gardens has generated in the community.

“The news stemming from Cumberland Gardens earlier this month has led to widespread anger throughout the community,” he said. “As Mayor and resident of our City, I want to stress that the City of Cornwall will continue to aid residents facing housing challenges through various programs which includes short-term rent supplements, rental assistance, utility assistance, moving costs and short-term storage costs. Our Human Services Department has a

dedicated team committed to working with social assistance recipients to guide them through the potential impacts to their budgets. Tenants are asked to call their Ontario Works (OW) or Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) worker directly to discuss their situation further.”

On March 22, MP Duncan released an open letter addressed to Bedford after stating his repeated attempts to contact them went unanswered.

“As you may imagine, a mass eviction of this magnitude in a small city like Cornwall has many of your tenants worried and filled with anxiety. The simple fact that you chose not to engage or work with local community leaders on a reasonable plan to relieve this unnecessary anxiety speaks volumes about your priorities and your shallow value set,” Duncan’s letter reads. “In the midst of this unprecedented pressure on rental and housing markets, your selfish, short-sighted and shameful actions could force dozens of local families into unsafe living conditions. At worst, these families would be homeless. Mass-evicting all units at the same time is absurd, heartless, and completely unnecessary,” Duncan’s letter goes on to read.

Duncan went on in his letter to accuse Bedford of putting profits over people.

“I will be blunt and fully transparent about what your true goals appear to be: you are doing business this way not to prioritize the renovation of Cumberland Gardens or improve the standard of living of your residents, but to prioritize your profits. Allegations of misleading and bullying tactics towards your tenants into ending their leases so you can increase the price of rent, and make more money, is a blatant

Quinn wins SDSG PC nomination vote NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Nolan Quinn won the nomination to be the candidate for the Progressive Conservative Party in StormontDundas-South Glengarry for the upcoming provincial election.

Quinn won the vote at a meeting of the local Conservative riding association on Saturday, March 26. “So honoured and humbled to have been selected as the next candidate for the Ontario PC Party here in Stormont-DundasSouth Glengarry. I am excited to continue this journey with all of you,” reads a statement made by Quinn on social media.

Quinn’s opponent for the nomination was South Stormont Township Councillor and lawyer Andrew Guindon.

“I also want to thank Andrew Guindon for PC Candidate – SDSG for showing his commitment to our community and running a good campaign,” Quinn’s statement reads.

Guindon praised Quinn on his win on

Saturday.

“Congratulations to Nolan Quinn for PC Candidate SDSG on a well run campaign and his nomination as the PC candidate,” reads a statement from Guindon. “I am very thankful for the support of my family, friends, and campaign team throughout the process.”

Quinn will be running to replace outgoing PC MPP Jim McDonell who announced that he would be retiring and not seeking re-election.

Quinn is a business owner in Cornwall who lives in St. Andrews West. Quinn has been active in Cornwall and the surrounding communities for many years, having raised funds for CHEO through his business and having served on several local committees and boards including the SDG Library Board.

Guindon, who is 27, said that he will remain active in the community. Guindon who is an active community volunteer in his own right has Agape Centre, Children’s Treatment Centre, and Laurencrest Youth Services and said that he is looking forward to marrying his fiancé Emily this August.

The only other party to have a candidate seeking its nomination is the local riding association for the Ontario Liberal Party.

Trustee John Danaher, a representative of North Glengarry shared a few words about the school.

“It’s not very difficult for me to say positive things about Glengarry District High School.

GDHS is home of the gaels and is the epitome of what a community school should be,” said Trustee Danaher.

NORTH STORMONT, Ontario – On Monday, March 21, the United Counties of SD&G settled on the next steps of their Education Equity Plan, which includes asking the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) to not close North Stormont Public School in Berwick, North Stormont Township.

North Stormont Public School was selected for closure as a part of the 2016 Pupil Accommodation Review (PAR) which saw a number of UCDSB schools consolidated or selected for closure. The United Counties have asked the UCDSB to reconsider the closure of North Stormont Public based on census data and rising enrollment numbers at the school. According to the most recent Canadian census that was released earlier this year the population of North Stormont Township has grown by 7.2 per cent. Enrollment data for the school shows there were 102 students enrolled for the 2019-2020 school year, significantly higher than the UCDSB’s projection of 63 which was made in 2015.

“Counties Council has made it clear that

improving access to rural education must continue to dominate our decision-making moving forward,” said United Counties Warden Carma Williams. “Following our successful Rural Education Symposium in February it became clear that we need to continue pushing this file on behalf of young families in SDG, and across Ontario.”

The postponement of the closure of North Stormont Public School is just one of three steps adopted by the United Counties as a part of their Education Equity Action Plan.

The United Counties have also approved the hiring of Dr. Paul Bennett of Schoolhouse Consulting who will help the Counties with their future education priorities with the goal of mitigating or preventing the closure of rural schools.

“We’ve done a lot of great work and we’ve got a lot of momentum,” said United Counties Councillor Stephanie Jaworski, a member of the Counties’ Education Working Group. “This requires a specific skillset and expertise – and we have found that in Dr. Bennett.”

ALEXANDRIA, Ontario – On March 23, 2022, the Upper Canada District School Board watched a video from the Glengarry District High School highlighting student’s experiences in this phase of pandemic learning.

The video provided the UCDSB with an inside look into the school, and allowed administrators, students and families to share their experiences so far this school year.

One of the students in the video expressed their reasoning for coming back to in person learning. “Two of the main reasons I decided to come back was, one because I got to meet all these awesome people that I’m in class with now, and two because of the hands-on projects that we are doing,” said a student in the video.

Another student talked about the trade opportunities that Glengarry District High School offers.

Great move by Councillor Todd Bennett to ask about steps that City Council can take to limit renovictions like the ones taking place at Cumberland Gardens.

Here’s a great take on the whole Will Smith/ Chris Rock Oscars controversy. Chris Rock’s joke was crass. You should never make fun of someone for a medical issue.

You should never make fun of someone. You also shouldn’t respond with violence. Imagine how much more powerful that moment could have been if Smith talked to Chris Rock and the audience like an adult about why what he said wasn’t okay. Instead Smith accepted the award for Best Actor and excused his behavious by saying he used violence out of love, which is the wrong message to send to young men especially.

It’s been a long wait but it’s finally game on for the U20 national broomball championship in Cornwall. The city will be playing host to the national championship from Tuesday, April 12th to Saturday, April 16th at the Benson Centre, Cornwall’s popular multi-sport facility. The tournament will feature 16 under-20 teams from Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan and Manitoba facing off for the right to be crowned Canadian champions.

A video was circulating of a person pressuring individuals at Cumberland Gardens to give into the renovictions and leave their homes. This is harassment and tenants need to know their rights. If a landlord is evicting you for the sake of renovations, you must tell him in writing that you want first right of refusal when the renovations are done. He must then offer you the apartment back first, at your original rent. Don’t let these greedy and heartless landlords win.

CanadianTire supports MCA skatepark An artists conceptualization of the future skatepark in Akwesasne. Canadian Tire and Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities have donated $241,000 to the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne for the construction of the skatepark which will be located at the A’nowara’ko:wa Arena, on Kawehno:ke facing the City of Cornwall and is expected to be completed by September of 2022.

CORNWALL, Ontario – March 11, 2020 was the last time that Christal Bowen was able to lead her Zumba with Christal class in-person. Now, over two years later her and her Zumba family will be reunited face to face on Monday, April 4 at St. Lawrence Secondary School.

‘We are finally back together and the town will come alive on April 4,” Bowen said.

Bowen said that they have been approved for max capacity with no restrictions. Her first class back will feature music from Stacy McPhail from DJ Sound.

“It being our first class back together after so long I wanted to go all out with the music,” said Bowen.

Zumba with Christal did not miss a beat during the pandemic however. With the help of her wife, Val Bowen, Christal was able to continue her classes online at first through Skype and then Zoom.

“She was my rock through all of this,” Bowen said. “Class never stopped. I kept teaching and we never missed a party. “I kept going because we needed it and I believe it kept me sane to offer stress relief to people who needed it the most,” Christal Bowen explained.

“We had a really large following through COVID,” said Val Bowen.

Val explained how the Zoom Zumba classes soon found a following across Canada and beyond.

Virtual Zumba classes will continue, with the live sessions that will happen on Wednesdays being recorded.

“We will be able to give our Zumba recordings on demand,” said Val. “No Zumba members are being left out that way.”

FROM THE CANADIAN PRESS ST. CATHARINES, Ont. — The St. Lawrence Seaway officially opens today for a 64th navigation season with the prospect of increased demand for Canadian grain and fertilizer stemming from the war in Ukraine.

Terence Bowles, president and CEO of the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corp. that operates the waterway, says Canadian exports could be called upon to replace supply shortages resulting from sanctions against Russia and devastation in Ukraine.

However, he says the country’s ability to respond will depend on the strength of the

upcoming grain crop.

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is forecasting that overall production and exports will be marginally better in the coming crop year after severe drought across the Prairies cut output last season.

But Bowles says the seaway is ready to deliver if there’s another strong year for Ontario grain and the western and U.S. grain crops come in stronger than expected.

The seaway is forecasting that overall cargo shipments will remain flat at about 38.2 million tonnes this year, but increase in line with the forecast four per cent economic growth when excluding grain.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 24, 2022.

Cornwall Business Park has become a place to be NICK SEEBRUCH

8 - Wednesday, March 30, 2022

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

This year has kicked off with a bang for Cornwall Economic Development in the Cornwall Business Park. Since the start of the year there have been at least five major sales of land in Park, totalling millions of dollars for the city.

In January, in one meeting Cornwall City Council approved the sale of 6.1, 62, 80, and 10-acre plots of land to Fairview Garage, Safavieh Home Furnishings Limited, Broccolini Investments Inc. and Kingland Investments respectively.

Just on Monday, Council approved another sale of 40 acres Great Wolf Resorts which plans on building an indoor waterpark.

Cornwall sells land in the Cornwall Business Park for $50,000 an acre, which is an extremely buyer friendly price given the local real estate market right now.

That means for you keen math whizzes out there that the Great Wolf Resorts sale alone is valued at $2

million.

All together, the value of these land sales that I’ve listed above is just shy of $10 million. That is a pretty impressive first quarter for Cornwall Economic Development and the Cornwall Business Park.

The money from these sales is invested back in the community through the Land Reserve fund. These sales specifically will be used to help pay for the recently completed Nick Kaneb Dr. extension, and to pay for related water and sewer expenses.

These rapid-fire land sales say a lot more about the prospects of the City of Cornwall, over and above the immediate benefits of the influx of cash. These sales give the outward impression at least that Cornwall is the place that a lot of companies want to be, and not just ones from a single specific sector like logistics, although logistics companies and infrastructure are still the most prominent feature of the Business Park.

Cornwall is without a doubt now a growing city. I feel more strongly than

ever that we as a city are on the precipice of seismic change.

The 2021 Canadian Census showed that the City of Cornwall grew by a whopping 2.7 per cent since 2016 and has reached its highest population count ever of 47,845. Without a doubt, I think Cornwall could have grown by another couple tenths of a percentage point since the census was taken.

With this growth has come growing pains, like homelessness, inflation, and a higher demand for services, which I have talked about a lot in my columns, but there have also been good things and they deserve as much attention.

The sale of land in the Business Park is one of those good things and I hope that this is the first sign of a snowball effect of businesses wanting to move to Cornwall.

If this trend continues and the Business Park continues to grow, once expenses related to Nick Kaneb Dr. are paid for, the City should consider using that money to help ease some of Cornwall’s growing pains, like homelessness, or to add more amenities to the city, like a dog park.

Getting to know the Environment & Climate Change Committee

TRANSITION CORNWALL+ ELAINE KENNEDY & JESSE GOOD

At the start of its current term, Cornwall City Council declared that a key priority was for Cornwall to become a leader in climate change. In October of 2019, the Council created the Environment & Climate Change Committee (ECCC) to help realize that goal.

The ECCC is comprised of two City

Councilors, three volunteer from the public like us, along with representatives of Transition Cornwall+, the River Institute, the Eastern Ontario Health Unit, and the Raisin Region Conservation Authority. Staff from various departments support the volunteers as they review issues about the environment and climate change.

The ECCC is focused on helping the City meet its climate goals. These include developing a plan for reducing the City’s greenhouse gas emissions from its operations and assets, but also from the whole community. They also include understanding the local impacts of climate change, including who and what will be most impacted by it in the

area, and taking actions to prepare.

Based on ECCC’s recommendation, Cornwall City Council declared a climate emergency in December 2021 and joined Partners for Climate Protection, to learn from their experts and leverage funding for climate action.

And crucially, City Council adopted ECCC’s recommendation and set the goal of reducing municipal greenhouse gas emissions by 40-45% below 2005 levels by 2030. This means that going forward, every time the City decides to build, buy, maintain, or replace any of its assets – its cars, trucks, buses, and buildings, for example – these decisions will have to align with the City’s emissions reduction target.

Seaway News welcomes letters to the editor. Letters should be no longer than 300 words and may be edited for clarity or length. Please send your letters by email to nseebruch@seawaynews.media or by mail to 501 Campbell Street, Unit 6, Cornwall, ON K6H 6X5. Please include your name, address and phone number.

The ECCC meets every two months in a public meeting and all the committee’s agendas and minutes are on the City’s website. We invite you to communicate with us if there are local environmental issues that you care about. We can raise these issues with city staff in a constructive way.

The current membership of ECCC is set until the next municipal election, but if you would like to signal your interest in being a member, to help influence these local issues, please contact the office of the City’s clerk.

The citizens of Cornwall are being well ser ved by its Council and this Committee, in preparation for the effects of climate change in the future.

OPINION

It was the golden age of print dailies Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

concluded that despite a couple of cracks in the concrete walls, it was not about to fall down. The Cornwall Professional Fire Fighters Association expressed concern that the building wouldn’t be able to withstand re-construction of Pitt Street set to start in May. A letter to council said two cracks in the second-floor concrete wall were wide enough to see daylight from inside.

However, the engineers’ report did point out that the fire hall did not met minimum Ontario Fire Marshal requirements. It noted that the boiler was not enclosed in a fire-proof room and the upstairs sleeping quarters were served by a single staircase. ... Re-construction of County Road 16 between St. Andrew’s and Monkland was to begin in May. When finished it would become part of a provincial highway connecting Cornwall to the new expressway (Highway 417). ...

The new Toyota dealership – Northend Motors - opened on Cornwall Centre Road west of Brookdale Avenue North. ... Construction of Maxville Manor was under way. The home for the aged would have 93 beds. Meanwhile, plans for a 120-bed home for the aged on York Street next to Macdonell Memorial Hospital were unveiled. It would be called St. Joseph’s Villa. ... Hotel Dieu Hospital opened its intensive care unit.

It had six beds. Unit director was Dr. H. E. MacPhee. ... Ald. Angelo Lebano wanted his council colleagues to endorse provincial lotteries as a way for municipalities to provide property tax relief. ...

The township public school board announced that it was closing Bonville Public School which had operated since 1949. It had 174 students, many of whom walked to school, and five teachers. ... Howard Smith Paper Mill held its 20th annual employee long service

dinner with 26 names added to the 25-year club. Longest serving members of the club were L. J. Lamesse and J. H. Lagden. Each had 47 years with the Cornwall plant. ... With nobody on the Glenview Heights wait list and empty units begging for tenants, Cornwall Housing Authority launched a campaign to fill the vacant units. Monthly rents ranged from $45 to $400 a month (heat included). Two-bedroom apartment units and three-and-four bedroom housing units were available. Rents were based on gross family income. ... Former Cornwall Royals defenceman Dave Woodward was posted to a Newfoundland detachment after graduating from the RCMP training depot. ... Royals forward Rick Plamondon won the Central Junior Hockey League scoring title with 51 goals and 44 assists in 50 games.

Team-mate Wayne Horne finished second with 95 points on 51 goals and 44 assists. Plamondon, defenceman Pete Prevost and forward Jovan Marich were named to the CJHL first all-star team.

TRIVIA In the 2004 federal election he ran for the Green Party in StormontDundas-Glengarry finishing with 3,491 votes, but in the 2007 federal election he was the Liberal candidate, finishing 14,108 votes behind winner Guy Lauzon of the Conservatives. Hint: His uncle once represented Stormont in the provincial legislature.

TRIVIA ANSWER The A & P grocery store operated on Pitt Street – next door to the Bank of Montreal - from 1937 to 1960 when it moved to a modern store at Sydney and Eighth streets (now Farm Boy).

What bus are you on?

Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

To a large degree, our quality of life was determined by what bus our mother was on when we were born.

Fortunately, my mom was on a bus in Canada when I was dropped off near Sudbury, Ontario. It was a land of opportunity, jobs and freedom. If the drop-off had taken place in Bangladesh, Somalia, Russia or so many other distressed countries, my life expectancy, educational opportunities and chances to earn a livelihood would have been very limited.

I never rode on a school bus, but I did take a bus during all six of my high school years. It was a TTC bus that took

me to Toronto’s St. Michael’s College School. It was in those classes that I learned what I could, and eventually discovered what was almost impossible for me to be good at.

Tour buses are great ways to sample the buffet of what tourist places have to offer. On their hurried itineraries, there are periodic but brief opportunities to get off for a while.

An aside: when I was interviewing a restauranteur of a rather out of the way ma ‘n pa diner, I asked, “How did you end up here?”

“I was taking a bus to somewhere far from here. It stopped here for a washroom break. It pulled away without me. I got left behind. I ended up marrying the owner of the restaurant.”

Back onto the tour bus of life. As the day progresses, we can make a list of

places to avoid and which ones to some day revisit. A tour bus is the part of the bus routes of life we can choose to ride, or avoid.

Some of the bus rides of life can be as comfortable as the Montreal to Toronto MegaBus. Others are akin to the bumpy ride of the so-called school of hard knocks, filled with potholes and detours: love affairs gone wrong, sudden loss of a loved one, job loss…

Riding a double-decker bus is great.

There are times in life when we should get an above-it-all overview. We should ask, “Is this really the job I want to have for the rest of my life? Should we raise our children here in the city or out in the boonies? What legacy am I going to leave behind?” We usually have the option of staying on the bus or looking for one that will take us elsewhere.

Take a look around, consider your options, then make a move. Otherwise, your indecision will just get you spinning your wheels, stuck where you are. (Photo by Nick Wolochatiuk)

As our bus approaches the end of the line, we have to look out the side window to see where we are and try to look ahead through the front window to see what’s ahead. However, this far on the road, as Father Lee, my Latin teacher used to say, “Alea iacta est!”

Retired Ottawa journalist Burton Heward who died Feb. 11 at age 83 launched his successful career right out of Carleton University at his hometown daily newspaper, The StandardFreeholder, in the early 1960s.

Heward, an accomplished musician as was his father, Burton Sr., was among a collection of S-F neophytes of the day who went on to bigger things in the biz.

Heward climbed the ladder at the Brantford Expositor, the Ottawa Journal and Ottawa Citizen, where he served as book editor, a position that faded away at daily newspapers as bean counters searched for ways to slash newsroom expenses.

His colleagues at 44 Pitt St. included Ron Clingen who later covered Ottawa city hall during the fiery Charlotte Whitton era for the Journal; Dave Allan, who became city editor of the Toronto Star; Frank Orr who became the Toronto Star’s top sports writer and was inducted into the media section of the Hall of Fame; Paul Craig of the Citizen; Jimmy Quigg, an award-winning Montreal Gazette/Canadian Magazine writer; and the irascible Earl McRae who at the peak of his career was arguably one of the country’s top sports writers. A short time later, Kevin Doyle after a brief encounter with the University of Western Ontario took a junior position with the S-F. He went on to become editor-in-chief of Maclean’s magazine. (McRae’s raucous tenure with the S-F is fodder for a future column).

This was a time when daily

newspapers – big and small – were at the top of their game with climbing circulation numbers and expanding newsrooms. The traditional yardstick for staffing newsrooms was one full-time employee for every thousand papers sold by the circulation department. At its peak, the S-F had 20 people in its newsroom along with 15 part-timers.

Keeping the young talented turks, or at least trying to, on a tight leash were the legendary S-F city editor Hal Lee Sr. and managing editor Ab Gratton.

S-F local stories in those days seldom carried bylines. There was a method to the madness, as they say. It was an attempt to hide promising prospects from the prying eyes of the big dailies, especially the Ottawa Journal and Citizen who treated small dailies as farm teams.

HITS AND MISSES Please, after witnessing the humongous humanitarian effort by Poland, no more Polish jokes. ... The odds are against it happening, but would love to see the Capitals in a playoff series with either Edmonton or Winnipeg, each with a large number of Ukrainian descendants. ... And what do you think will be the crowd re-action if Putin-admirer Ovechkin breaks The Great One’s scoring record in Edmonton?

Gretzky’s grand-parents had strong ties to Ukraine. ... Hypocrisy 101: U.S. climate change czar John Kerry used a private Jet – private jets produce more carbon dioxide than commercial jets - to fly to Iceland to accept a climate change leadership award. Why not just have it Fed Exed? Yah, I know. After a visit to the climate change confessional he planted a dozen trees as penance.

Rest in peace with pre-arranged funeral services Losing a loved one can be an overwhelming ordeal. Nevertheless, the deceased’s family typically must oversee a variety of administrative tasks and make numerous decisions to organize the funeral service. To ensure your loved ones don’t have to deal with these burdens while grieving your passing, make the necessary after-life arrangements without delay.

There are two contracts you’ll need to sign off on: one for the funeral arrangements and one for the burial.

The former specifies the services that will be afforded upon your death, which may include cremation, embalming and a ceremony. This document also outlines the purchase of associated items such as the coffin, urn, monument and/or flowers.

The burial contract, on the other hand, has to do with the purchase and maintenance of your final resting place. This may pertain to a

child’s age. This will make it easier for them to understand what’s happening. If you’re talking to an adult child, frankly explain the situation. If you have a young child, simplify your vocabulary, but avoid euphemisms. It may also be a good idea to include examples from a book or movie.

2. Monitor your child: During the conversation, closely observe your child’s reactions-. Give them time to absorb and understand what you’re telling them. Be honest, and clearly answer their questions. Your child’s reaction will help you assess how much information to share and whether you need to slowly divulge details over several days.

3. Avoid misunderstandings: If your loved one is receiving medical attention, you may want to tell your child about any current or upcoming treatments. You can mention where the treatment will take place, the side effects of any medications and the symptoms of your loved one’s illness. Additionally, clarify if there will be any changes to your family’s daily routine. You may want to consult with another adult to determine what information may be relevant to bring up.

Advantages When you pre-arrange your funeral, you ensure that your after-life services will unfold according to your personal preferences and beliefs. Additionally, you’ll be doing your loved ones a kindness by preventing them from undertaking on such a trying task at a time when they’re already grieving.

Making pre-arrangements for your funeral also has many financial benefits. For example, given that you’ll pay for all goods and services at their current price, and that no additional amounts can be charged after your death (even if your coffin costs twice as much by then), you’ll avoid the costs associated with inflation.

For all of the above reasons, making pre-arrangements for your funeral is the wise and compassionate thing to do.

MOURNING • REMEMBERING • COMMEMORATING

Significant things the bereaved taught me the incomprehensible becomes possible when we connect with others who have walked this path.

Know that grief is felt and processed differently for each of us. Handle yourself with a great amount of care and compassion, free from expectations of what your grief should look like. Respect where you need to be in this moment, and remember to do the same for others who are grieving with you.

Know that it is okay to speak their name.

Say it often. It is healthy and necessary. For your loved one to live on you must pass along

and organic urns, for instance, are now commonly available on the market. The former are ideal for spreading ashes in the water: as it melts, the container slowly releases the ashes in the desired body of water. The latter are made from a biodegradable material and dissolve in the soil; the ashes are released and a tree eventually grows where the urn was buried.

Finally, grieving families have endless options when it comes to choosing a place to gather and celebrate their lost loved one. Nowadays, funeral personalization has very few limits, so don’t hesitate to explore the possibilities.

Today, all manner of options are available to create a ceremony that truly reflects the personality of the deceased, no matter what his or her values were.

To say goodbye and pay your last respects to a lo­ved one, it’s possible to organize the funeral service at the location of your choosing, whether that’s at home or somewhere the deceased enjoyed spending time (a golf club or a library, for example). Of course, it’s important to get permission from the ve­nue beforehand.

Cremation allows for various rituals when it comes to spreading the ashes. Ice urns

Death teaches us that the love that exists between two people is most often found in the smallest of MOMENTS. These small moments are what help us survive. Step into those small moments as often as possible.

Know that there are no goodbyes. Find new

ways from those small moments to connect and feel your loved one’s presences though meaningful daily rituals. Rituals have supported us in grief long before words. Big or small, rituals are the essence of what supports our emotions in our grief.

Know that you can rely on the love and support of others. In grief, we sometimes need to teach people how they can support us and what we need from them. Share your needs with the people who support you. Reach out to others who have experienced a similar loss through books, specific websites to your type of loss, support groups etc. Communicating

The emotions of grief are like a tangled ball of yarn and untangling that ball of yarn involves processing some of the most difficult emotions you may ever have to experience, such as anger, guilt, fear, uncertainty, doubt, aimlessness, forgetfulness, withdrawal, apathy, confusion and so many others.

Grief can also at times cause you to experience feelings of guilt –” Did I do enough?” or “If only I had...”, and to question your spirituality – “Why me?” or “Why them?”These emotions and questions can send you off in many different directions, tangling that ball of yarn even further; this is a normal part of the grief process. This part of the process will take the time it needs and no amount of forcing will make it untangle faster. Grief will be felt differently in each moment, at different times, unexpectedly at times, with various intensities. No two moments will be the same, and navigating through this unknown territory could leave you with a sense of fear. It’s important to be with this unknown territory and/or this fear because these moments will reveal many answers for you. Be present in those moments with a great amount of self-love and self-compassion, the same love and compassion that you gave to your loved one in their time of need.

Grief needs to be felt, seen and heard in order for you to process what has happened to you, how it has happened, and how it will affect your future as well as the sudden shift of roles within the family dynamics. Although no two people will experience grief in the same way or at the same time, people will lovingly offer advice based on their experience. Keep in mind that it is their experience of grief and not yours, so be sure to stay true to what you need in your grief. Love and support are essential and needed to walk this difficult road ahead; walk it with others at your side. We all need people, just like your loved one needed you on their final journey home. Everyone will have different capacities or different ways of supporting you. Walk together with the people who have the capacity to support you; it’s often the people you least expected.

During this time, it is possible to feel like life continues on for everyone else, while yours has been turned upside down and is at a standstill. It can feel like things will never be the same again and, in many ways, they won’t. There is a vital piece to your life that is missing, throwing everything off balance. Finding that balance again will take time, but you will.

Grief is felt most during the small moments, despite common belief that the bigger moments are most difficult. The small moments that were shared daily, a simple glance, a touch, a smell, their voice, morning routine… Small things that are now felt in what seems like every moment of your day, in a place you never knew existed within your heart… This part of grief, this anguish, will soften with time.

These small moments that are unbearable to feel and think about at this time will be the moments you hold dearest to your heart, the ones you will treasure and cherish forever. Love has always been about those small moments.

Life will never be the same, this is true, but over time your life will shape itself in a new way with your loved one lighting the way.

May you always have an angel at your side guiding you, protecting you, and providing you with all the love and strength you will need for this road ahead.

Peacefully at the Cornwall Community Hospital on Monday, March 21, 2022. He was 75. Loving husband of Denise (Forgues) Benoit. Cherished father of Wendy Filion (Roch), Lisa Heverly (John) and Jennifer Lavoie (Patrick). Sadly missed by his grandchildren, Jordan Filion, Evan Filion, Taylor Samson, Codi Lavoie (Taylor) and Jacob Lavoie (Angel) and two great-granddaughters, Graysen and Camille. Loving brother of Robert Benoit (Sharon), Nancy Lauzon, Robert Ranger (Joyce), Diane Ferguson (Lyn) and Ronnie Ranger (Lynn). Roger will also be remembered by many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents, Leonard and Irene (Primeau) Benoit, and his birth parents, Ubald Ranger and Fernande Trottier, and his siblings, Richard Ranger, Raymond Ranger (Jeannette), Denise Wright (late Graham), Pierrette Siebel (Paul) and Roger Ranger. Roger was a man who knew no strangers and viewed everyone as a friend. Regardless of his personal struggles, he always had a smile and joke to share with someone who needed it. He filled the room with his boisterous personality but was also a kind and gentle soul to those who sought out his wise advice. He will be greatly missed.

A special thank you to Dr. Naoum, Dr. Arab, Stacy – CCU nurse and all staff at the Cornwall Community Hospital for their compassion and kindness during a difficult time.

Funeral arrangements entrusted to the M. John Sullivan Funeral Home, 341 Pitt Street (across from city hall) Cornwall. Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday March 31, 2022 from 12:30 - 4pm at the RCAF wing.

As expressions of sympathy, memorial donations to Hospice Cornwall would be appreciated by the family. Condolences may be left at www. mjohnsullivanfuneralhome.com

This week’s winner: JR & HELENE COUTURE

The Amalgam Theatre returns to the Seaway Valley Theatre NICK LAURIN CORNWALL, Ontario – L’Amalgame Theatre returns to the stage with Michel Tremblay’s Albertine en Cinq Temps.

The show will be presented at the Seaway Valley Theatre, 30 E. 6th Street, on Friday and Saturday, March 25 and 26, and Friday and Saturday, April 1 and 2 at 7:00 pm. There will be matinee performances on Sunday, March 28 and Sunday, April 3 at 2:00 pm.

The Cornwall French Theatre and Arts Amalgam is an independent arts group that has developed many community partnerships and collaborations over the years.

“We have used various performance spaces over the years. For this production, the Seaway Valley Theater invited us to visit their new

theater and generously offered to rent their space to L’Amalgame,” reads a release from Amalgame. Casting and production of Albertine began in the fall of 2019. Initial performance dates were scheduled for spring 2020. Due to closures and restrictions and the unavailability of performance space at local venues, the show had to be canceled and rescheduled for early spring 2021, then canceled again.

There have been some casting changes over the months as some of the performers have had to leave due to new commitments.

“Our rehearsals with the current cast took place in person from September to December 2021 and then, due to restrictions, on Zoom.

Since the end of February, the cast has been meeting in person and occasionally on Zoom

when circumstances such as inclement weather or contact with COVID make it necessary,” reads a statement from Amalgam.

The Amalgame des Arts et du Théâtre Français de Cornwall has been busy with a few online projects over the past two years,

When compared to working for a large company, small businesses offer several advantages. Here are four of them.

1. You’ll be close with your team. Typically, everyone in a small company knows each other by name and job title. Plus, it tends to be easy for small teams to form strong bonds, creating a solid, supportive and engaging work environment.

2. You’ll have a variety of tasks. Working for a small bu­ siness often means that you’re expected to wear many hats. This allows you to quickly develop your skills and gain experience in several areas.

3. You’ll be valued for your work. If you finish a large project or receive positive feedback from a client, your

efforts won’t go unnoticed by a small team. In fact, your colleagues will likely be happy to acknowledge and ce­ lebrate your wins with you.

4. You’ll be involved in decisions. In a small business, all employees tend to be encouraged to get involved.

You’ll have the opportunity to express your opinions to maximize efficiency, solve problems and improve the products and servi­ces offered.

If you’re a strong team player who thrives in a rapidly changing environment, consider working for a small bu­ siness in your area.

United Counties demande à l’UCDSB de ne pas fermer l’école publique de North Stormont NICK SEEBRUCH TRADUIT PAR NICK LAURIN nseebruch@seawaynews.media

NORTH STORMONT, Ontario – Le lundi 21 mars, les Comtés Unis de SD&G ont réglé les prochaines étapes de leur plan d’équité en matière d’éducation, qui comprend une demande au Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) de ne pas fermer la North Stormont Public School à Berwick, dans le canton de North Stormont.

L’école publique de North Stormont a été sélectionnée pour la fermeture dans le cadre de l’examen des installations destinées aux élèves (PAR) de 2016, au cours duquel un certain nombre d’écoles de l’UCDSB ont été consolidées ou sélectionnées pour la fermeture.

Les Comtés Unis ont demandé à l’UCDSB de reconsidérer la fermeture de l’école publique de North Stormont sur la base des données de recensement et de l’augmentation du nombre d’inscriptions à l’école.

Selon le dernier recensement canadien, publié plus tôt cette année, la population du canton de North Stormont a augmenté de 7,2 %.

Les données sur les inscriptions à l’école montrent qu’il y avait 102 étudiants inscrits pour l’année scolaire 2019-2020, ce qui est nettement plus élevé que la projection de 63 de l’UCDSB qui avait été faite en 2015.

«Le Counties Council a clairement indiqué que l’amélioration de l’accès à l’éducation rurale doit continuer à dominer notre prise de décision à l’avenir,» a déclaré Carma Williams, directrice des Comtés Unis. «À la suite du succès de notre symposium sur l’éducation rurale en février, il est devenu évident que nous devons continuer à pousser ce dossier au nom des jeunes familles de SDG, et dans tout l’Ontario.»

Le report de la fermeture de l’école de North Stormont n’est qu’une des trois mesures adoptées par les Comtés Unis dans le cadre de leur plan d’action pour l’équité en matière d’éducation.

Le programme de stérilisation subventionné de Cornwall sera bientôt lancé NICK SEEBRUCH TRADUIT PAR NICK LAURIN

18 - Le mercredi 30 mars, 2022

- Cornwall Express - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

Les habitants de Cornwall pourront bientôt demander à ce que la chirurgie de stérilisation de leurs chats soit subventionnée. Les chirurgies sont gratuites pour les résidents admissibles. Les demandes seront acceptées à partir du 28 mars 2022, et le programme se déroulera du 25 au 27 mai 2022.

Le programme vise à aider les résidents à soigner leurs chats et à contribuer au contrôle de la population féline de la ville. Le programme aidera les ménages à faible revenu à soigner leurs animaux de compagnie âgés de plus de six mois ou de moins de huit ans.

Pour vous préparer à la procédure de

demande, vous devrez rassembler les documents suivants. Les demandes non accompagnées des documents complets ne peuvent être acceptées: Pièce d’identité (comme le permis de conduire, la carte d’assurance maladie, le passeport, la carte de statut).

Avis de cotisation de Revenue Canada de 2020 (pour obtenir une copie de ce document, appelez Revenue Canada au 1-800959-82811 et/ou un sommaire d’impôts/ avis de cotisation de 2021.

Une facture (comme une facture de téléphone, de câble, d’électricité, de gaz naturel, d’impôts foncier, d’eau ou d’égout, ou un contrat de location).

Les habitants de Cornwall peuvent faire

une demande pour faire réparer jusqu’à cinq chats pendant les cliniques du mois de mai.

Le processus est le suivant: Les résidents font une demande en utilisant le formulaire ci-dessous.

Le personnel des services sociaux et du logement examine la demande et confirme l’admissibilité.

Si la demande est approuvée, les renseignements sur les résidents sont fournis à la Société ontarienne pour la prévention de la cruauté envers les animaux (OSPCA).

Enfin, l’OSPCA contactera le résident pour évaluer l’admissibilité du chat à la chirurgie, puis prendra rendez-vous.

Le programme est basé sur le principe du premier arrivé, premier servi. Les demandes

accompagnées de toutes les pièces justificatives seront traitées.

Les résidents qui ont des questions peuvent communiquer avec les Programmes de logement au 613-933-6282, poste 3315.

Le taux de positivité du COVID du BSEO passe sous la barre des 10 % NICK LAURIN CORNWALL, Ontario – Le 23 mars 2022, le Dr Paul Roumeliotis du BSEO a présenté une mise à jour hebdomadaire sur la COVID-19.

Même si les points de presse du Dr Paul ont cessé la semaine dernière, il fournira une mise à jour hebdomadaire sur la COVID-19 les mercredis.

«Je crois toujours qu’il est important pour nous de fournir à la communauté et aux médias des mises à jour sur l’état d’avancement du projet COVID-19,» a déclaré le Dr Roumeliotis.

Le Dr Roumeliotis a commencé sa présentation en fournissant quelques statistiques et mises à jour sur la situation locale.

«Nous n’avons aucune admission aux soins intensifs et nous n’avons que trois hospitalisations,» a déclaré le Dr Roumeliotis. «Nos chiffres sont vraiment en baisse. Notre taux de positivité est en baisse, il était d’environ

9,9 % hier (22 mars), et pour rappel, il était de 30 à 40 % il y a environ 6 semaines.»

De plus, les bureaux de santé publique de la province de l’Ontario connaissent également une tendance à la baisse. À ce jour, il y a eu un total de 211 décès on Ontario dus au COVID-19.

«Nous avons eu plus de décès lors de la vague cinq (la plus récente), ce n’est pas parce que le virus est mortel, c’est parce que beaucoup plus de personnes ont été infectées,» a déclaré le Dr Roumeliotis. «Nous avons eu 3 000 à 4 000 cas par jour, par rapport à la deuxième vague où nous avions 300 à 400 cas par jour.»

En ce moment, l’Ontario compte 88,3 % de personnes ayant reçu leur première dose.

84,3 % des personnes ont reçu leur deuxième dose. 59,6 % ont reçu leur troisième dose.

Le Dr Roumeliotis a montré un graphique démontrant qu’une troisième dose de vaccin

offre une meilleure protection contre l’infection par Omicron au fil du temps, plutôt que deux doses.

«Nous menons également des études sur les niveaux d’anticorps sur les personnes qui ont été vaccinées et nous les faisons en série après qu’elles aient été vaccinées,» a déclaré le Dr Roumeliotis. «Si vous recevez une troisième dose, vous obtenez presque plus que le double de la protection au fil du temps, par rapport à deux doses.»

Le Dr Roumeliotis pense qu’une quatrième dose pourrait être nécessaire cet automne, mais aucune décision n’a encore été prise.

Même avec la levée de l’obligation de porter un masque en Ontario, le Dr Roumeliotis explique que les masques restent une mesure de santé publique efficace pour réduire la transmission du COVID-19. «`Si je porte un masque, ce qui se passe essentiellement, c’est que cela m’empêche

de propager des germes, c’est l’essentiel.

Nous savons également que les masques protègent également celui qui les porte,» a déclaré le Dr Roumeliotis. «Les masques en tissu donnent probablement entre 55 et 66 % de protection, un masque médical 66 à 70 %, selon une étude réalisée.»

La mise à jour hebdomadaire s’est terminée avec le Dr Roumeliotis qui a rappelé aux gens de ne pas oublier les principes de base de la santé publique en ce qui concerne la COVID: Dépister les symptômes et rester à la maison lorsqu’on est malade.

Utilisez les tests rapides d’antigènes si nécessaire.

Se laver les mains fréquemment.

Toussez et éternuez dans votre bras.

Portez un masque lorsque cela est nécessaire ou en fonction de votre risque individuel ou de votre situation.
