WILLIAMSTOWN, Ontario – After a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Raisin River Canoe Race held its 49th edition on Sunday, April 10.

Running along its usual route of the Raisin River from St. Andrews West to Williamstown this years race saw 224 canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards.

“Ever since the first Raisin River Canoe Race in 1973, the event has been like a rite of spring for both residents and visitors to the area,” said RRCA Canoe Race Coordinator, Lissa Deslandes. “Thanks to the support from many local organizations and sponsors,

as well as the Race Safety Committee and volunteers, the RRCA has been able to continuously coordinate a successful race throughout the decades.”

The water was moving fast this year at 1,400 cubic ft. per second. The Martintown falls were closed this year out of concern for safey.

Most paddlers made it to the finish line, with only 17 not making it to the end. A few paddlers had to be fished out of the water after hitting the first set of rapids, the Devil’s Chute.

The fastest time down the River was the Pro Boat Tandem of Mike De Abreu and Seb Courville (of Arnprior) in a time of 2:10:50.

Full interim results are available at rrca.on.ca/results.

Other top finishers by category were: • Pro Boats: Jeff Brainard (Roslin) & Gaetan Plourde (North Gower), Daniel Mallett (Chelsea) & Joanna Fallon (Ottawa), Sarah Lessard (Les Cèdres) & Jeffrey Defeo (Huntington) • 17 Foot Open: Bill McGowan (Mississauga) & Conor Abrahams (Nepean), Scott Galt & Maxine Galt (Ottawa), Jordan Brault & Scott Brault (Ottawa) • Adult and Youth: Simon Frei & Phillip Frei (Maxville), Willy Suter & Rhea Suter (Alfred), Michael Decoeur & François Decoeur (Glen Robertson)

On the anniversary of their recovery, first COVID-19 patients recognize CCH

AMY GILLESPIE CORNWALL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL FOUNDATION

“I just knew they were doing everything they could for me,” says Beverley Grant as she reflects on the care she received at CCH. She and her husband Alva were the first COVID-19 patients treated at our hospital. Two years later, their story is a tribute to local healthcare workers and their patients.

Neither “Bev” nor “Alvi”, as they affectionately call each other, could have suspected a trip to Dominican Republic in March 2020 would make them part of CCH history. Their vacation was

After a few days of treatment, Alva was able to go home, but it took another week for him to attempt walking short distances. In the meantime, Beverley took a turn for the worse and she too was admitted to CCH. Unlike her husband, Beverley’s bout with COVID-19 was accompanied by severe gastro symptoms. Initially stabilized, Bev was sent home, but had to return as the virus continued ravaging her system. Not a large woman to begin with, Bev lost 17 pounds over the course of a week.

“The second time I was admitted, I looked at the nurse who was caring for me and said, ‘It’s okay – you don’t have to spend too much time on me. I don’t know if I have the strength to keep fighting and others need you.’” Looking back, Bev believes it was family and friends who believed in her, coupled with the compassionate care she received at CCH, that helped her make it through. “I don’t know if I would be here otherwise,” she says.

A former nurse herself, graduating in the last class of Cornwall General’s Nursing School, Bev remains grateful to the nurses, physicians, and staff at CCH. “From the people who brought us food, to those who cleaned around us, and the doctors and nurses who cared for us every step of the way, I have great respect for our hospital. As a patient, I saw their efforts, and I felt their compassion first-hand.”

When Bev was strong enough to go home again, she was wheeled out of her room and was surprised to see staff lined up on either side of the hallway, clapping for her and cheering her on. “They gave me so much respect and love. I just couldn’t believe it.” Indeed, Beverley’s recovery was a personal milestone, but one for CCH too. Knowing their health teams could get her and Alva back on their feet was a major step in the early days of COVID-19.

Today, Alva and Beverley are back to daily life, appreciative of moments spent with family, and relieved for the time that’s passed since their encounter with COVID19. As our conversation ends, Alva makes a parting request: “Tell all those nurses on the JMP what a wonderful job they did for us. We appreciate them so much.”

What you should know about hematomas in the elderly

Hematomas, more commonly referred to as bruises, are skin lesions that are often accompanied by a purplish mark. They mainly occur on the arms and legs and are common in older people. This is because as you age, your skin thins and the blood vessels become more fragile. Here’s what you need to know.

Causes: Hematomas are mainly caused by physical shocks like falling or banging into an object. Other factors that can contribute to bruising include damaged blood vessels, blood-thinning medications, excessive sun exposure, certain diseases and vitamin deficiencies.

Treatment: Immediately after a shock, apply an ice pack wrapped in a cloth to the affected area to reduce pain and swelling.

Your doctor or pharmacist may also recommend medication to relieve your discomfort.

Prevention: There are several changes you can make to your home to reduce the risk of falling. For example, remove clutter

to make it easier to move around, improve the lighting and install grab bars in places like the bathroom.

Do you often get bruises for no obvious reason? Are your bruises painful and won’t go away, even after several weeks? If so, consult your doctor immediately.

YOUR CCHF CHECKUP

accompanied by beautiful weather but, after two days, cold-like symptoms and a loss of appetite set in for both.

“By the time we got home, I thought I was feeling better, but my energy disappeared. My daughter took one look at me, lying on the couch, and said, ‘Dad – you’re blue. We need to get you to the hospital.’ I had to crawl upstairs on my hands and knees. I was gasping for air and had no strength left, so we needed an ambulance.”

After Alva’s arrival at CCH, he received a positive test for COVID-19, and an additional diagnosis of double-pneumonia. “I got to CCH on my birthday, and I remember telling the nurse it was a heck of a way to spend the day. The next morning, she arrived with a box of Timbits, because she knew I couldn’t celebrate. Everyone was so kind, even though they must have been afraid to come into my room. Covid was so new, no one knew what to expect.”

Eco Day ECO UPDATE ANGELA PARKER

Cornwall’s 2nd Annual Eco Day will take place Saturday, April 23 from 10 am until 2 pm in Lamoureux Park. Last year, the City

held its first Eco Day in August and had activities happening throughout the City. It was a success, so this year we are planning an even bigger event, closer to Earth Day. The City of Cornwall is one of the 100+ Canadian municipalities that have become a partner with the non-profit, Earth Day Canada, showing concern for the environment and supporting Earth Day’s activities.

Earth Day was first celebrated on April 22, 1970, in the United States, which, has been suggested, motivated the contemporary environmental movement. However, people

have been concerned about environmental destruction for centuries. In ancient Greece, philosopher Plato watched as deforestation led to soil erosion and declared that “All the richer and softer parts have fallen away, and the mere skeleton of the land remains.”

This year the City of Cornwall will have activities and initiatives starting April 18 and wrapping up April 23 at Eco Day. The week will have a film screening, a presentation from a climate educator, and our ever popular Give a Shirt program. Organizations and groups participating on April 23 in Lamoureux

Park include the SDG Butterflyway Project, Cornwall’s Youth for Climate Action Working Group, Raisin Region Conservation Authority, St. Lawrence River Institute, Transition Cornwall+, and Cornwall’s Environment and Climate Change Committee. Cornwall Transit will also be there with its new bike racks for you to try out!

More information can be found on the City’s website www.cornwall.ca > live here > environment.

Hope to see you soon! Reach out to me any time at aparker@cornwall.ca.

SDG parks return of photo radar

BY PHILLIP BLANCHER, LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER CORNWALL – Since 2019, municipalities can use photo radar in school zones and community safety zones in Ontario. While some cities and towns are opting in, it will be at least a year before SDG Counties considers adding it to roads here.

At its March 21 meeting SDG Counties council discussed a report weighing the pros and cons of adding this speed enforcement tool to the Counties’ tool box.

Automated Speed Enforcement (photo radar) uses radar and a special camera to detect and photograph the licence plates of a speeding vehicle. The photograph and radar information is then processed by a third party and a ticket to the vehicle owner is issued. As the ticket goes against the vehicle owner and

not necessarily the driver of the vehicle, no demerit points are deducted.

The cameras can only operate in areas designated through a municipal bylaw.

Council learned that the costs involved with the program run approximately $450 per day, which includes fees to the Joint Processing Centre in Toronto, court and camera costs.

Transportation Director Ben deHaan told council that a supplier expected a single camera to generate six fines per day at $77 each, or $460 per day total.

“It’s not a revenue generator. What we’ve seen across Ontario is these programs are very effective,” deHaan said of the photo radar systems in reducing speeding in areas. “I can think of a bunch [of locations] the top of my head already where it makes a whole heck of a lot of sense to have these kinds of things.”

LETTERTOTHE EDITOR: Concern over for-profit healthcare Dear Editor, I am very concerned that the present Ontario Government is increasing the role of private for-profit companies in our public health care system.

The Ontario Government is privatizing 18,000 long-term care beds for the next 30 years, privatizing the last part of home care, privatizing COVID-testing and vaccines and is now talking about allowing private for-profit clinics to operate private hospitals to perform surgeries and other procedures.

This clearly undermines our public health care system which is based on the principle

that medically necessary health care should be provided on medical need not on the ability to pay.

Per capita, Ontario has the lowest health care and hospital funding and the fewest hospital beds and nurses of any province in Canada. The Ontario Government needs to invest more on public health care not on private for-profit companies which charge additional fees, reduce staff, and pay lower wages in order to pay dividends to their shareholders.

The Ontario Nurses Association states that Ontario now needs 22,000 more nurses.

What is wrong with this picture?

Dear Editor, Ontario has the lowest number of registered nurses and the fewest hospital beds per capita of all the provinces of Canada.

Other jurisdictions, like Quebec for example, are trying to attract nurses with hiring bonuses and improved working conditions. Faced with an even worse ratio of nurses to patients,

what does Ontario do? It stubbornly maintains Bill 124, which since 2019 limits public sector wage increases to one percent, in spite of the toll taken on nurses who continue to respond to COVID daily and who face the same rising costs of living as the rest of their communities. Bill 124 purportedly aims to keep public services sustainable, by limiting

This serious shortage of nurses is the result of the last Liberal Government’s layoff of nurses and the present Conservative Government’s wage-suppression law, Bill 124. Ontario nurses and health care workers have been doing their best on the frontlines to care for their patients during the pandemic but the system is severely understaffed. Bill 124 should be repealed. We need to retain, recruit, and return health care workers by showing them the respect that they deserve with better wages, paid sick days and mental health supports.

At this time, many people are suffering with

grief, loss, stress, depression as a result of the pandemic. The next Ontario Government should provide a universal mental health care plan that would put counselling and therapy under OHIP and expand publicly funded mental health services. The Ontario Government has the funds to improve mental health care.

Public health care will be a major issue in the Ontario election on June 2. Ontarians do not benefit from more privatization of our public health care system.

We deserve better.

Brian Lynch Cornwall, Ontario

their cost to the fiscal situation of the province. At the same time, the province is splurging on pre-election giveaways like the license fee rebates and most recently, a reduction in gas tax. People might appreciate these pocketbook benefits in the short term, but they also have a strong sense of fair play.

Ontarians know the largesse behind these

voter bribes are paid for by the exploitation of nurses and underfunding of public hospitals.

This June 2nd, cast your vote for strong public services that support us all, and especially for a fair shake for nurses and reinvestment in public hospitals.

FROM CHOOSE CORNWALL

Cornwall Ontario – A leading European electronics company is in the process of acquiring SigmaPoint, a deal that will provide advantages to both companies.

KATEK SE has signed a comprehensive, exclusive term sheet for the acquisition of all shares in Cornwall based SigmaPoint Technologies. Once the deal is concluded, SigmaPoint becomes the North American production division for KATEK and adds to their compliment of 15 other global locations. The SigmaPoint name and business unit will remain unchanged. CEO & President Dan Bergeron, along with the full management team, will continue to lead SigmaPoint after the acquisition.

“We are looking forward to the partnership with KATEK Group,” says Daniel Bergeron, CEO SigmaPoint. “Our two companies have a lot in common, most notably our work culture, customer-centric values ​​and lean principles.”

SigmaPoint is one of the leading electronics service providers in Canada and is known for its decades of high quality production based on strict lean principles in the field of high-value electronics. In addition to the medical, industrial controls, embedded electronics and IoT sectors, SigmaPoint is opening new markets for KATEK in the homeland security and defense sectors.

“As the number three electronics service provider in Europe, we are making good on the promise to our European customers of a presence on the North American continent,” says

Rainer Koppitz, CEO of KATEK. “The very good match between corporate culture and values​​ was also decisive. This will make it much easier to leverage the large existing synergies in the areas of sales, supply chain and lean manufacturing.” Mr. Bergeron sees the merger as an important milestone for SigmaPoint that few companies ever achieve. Becoming the first KATEK Group company in the American market is a testament to the outstanding SigmaPoint team and rapidly scaling business.

“I am extremely proud of our 280 employees and I am incredibly excited about the potential that will open up for our customers, the team and the local community in the years to come,” notes Mr. Bergeron. “Our partnership represents an extension and strengthening of our supply chain, design support, rapid prototyping and global distribution services.”

The negotiation of the associated share purchase agreement should be concluded shortly with the closing planned for the end of Q2 at the latest. The transaction is subject to the necessary official approvals, such as the competition authorities.

SDG approves summer construction contracts

BY PHILLIP BLANCHER, LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER CORNWALL – Warmer weather means the road construction season is almost here. In preparation for the upcoming season, SDG Counties Council approved several contracts March 21 for the road work this year.

A joint-tender for microsurfacing between SDG Counties and South Dundas was approved for $608,896.

Duncor Enterprises Inc. was the lowest of two bidders by $33,000. The SDG portion of the contract is $505,984 and will micro-surface treat four county roads.

These include County Roads 31 (from County Road 7 to Winchester Springs),

CR31 nor th from the 3/31/43 intersection by the Winchester Foodland, CR3 from CR38 to CR43, and CR 15 from Northfield to CR43.

South Dundas’ portion of the contract will microsurface Pleasant Valley Road from County Road 1 to Irish Headline Road.

In an effort to save money and get work going faster, SDG tendered the materials for box culverts separately from the work to install the culverts.

Four culverts will be replaced this year including the Hallville Creek Culver t (County Road 1), Doran Bay Culvert (CR 2), Lakeshore Drive Culvert (western-most part of former CR4), and twin culverts for the Hoasic Bridge (CR18).

The Hoasic Bridge culverts are part of a replacement of a bridge with twin culverts scheduled for this year.

Power Precast Solutions won the tender at $649,595. Two companies bid on the work.

The Hallville Creek, Doran Bay and Lakeshore Drive culverts will involve a three-to-five day road closure for installation.

The Hoasic Bridge culvert replacement project is expected to have a 30-day road closure in place.

Joint-tendering paid off for savings for six municipalities for corrogated steel pipes.

SDG Counties, the City of Cornwall, Nor th Dundas, South Dundas, South

Stormont and South Glengarry worked together for the tender, which was awarded to Atlantic Industries for $246,495.53.

A second bidder was non-compliant and not considered for the tender. The Counties’ por tion of the contract is $142,683.97 and South Dundas’ portion is $18,494.60.

Three bidders competed for the centreline markings tender, which included the SDG Counties and all municipalities in SDG except South Dundas.

The contract was awarded to Provincial Road Markings Inc. for $452,276. SDG’s portion of that is $397,100.

Here are the dates for leaf and yard waste collection: • Weekly from April 11 to May 13 • Bi-weekly from May 23 to September 23 • Weekly from September 27 to November 18 Easily track the collection schedule using the Recycle Coach app or the waste collection calendar.

During weeks when leaf and yard waste is not collected, residents should not set their leaf bags to the curb — they will not be collected with regular garbage pickup.

Leaf bags should be in paper bags or reusable containers. Leaf and yard waste will not be picked up if it’s in plastic bags.

“This past year, we’ve asked Cornwallites to be more careful about their waste. The landfill will be full in a little over a decade,” said Dave Kuhn, Waste Management Supervisor. “We can no longer accept leaf and yard waste in the landfill. This is a

Doing your part during a wave without restrictions NICK SEEBRUCH

8 - Wednesday, April 13, 2022

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media Here we are again, at the beginning of another wave of the pandemic. Despite the rising COVID numbers, in terms of infections and hospitalizations, I do believe that this will be the last, or second to last wave.

I do not believe that this wave will be as severe as previous waves thanks to the now widely distributed vaccine as well as new anti-virals. I think; I hope that hospitalizations remain low. That has always been the bottomline. If thousands contract COVID, but only a small handful suffer severe symptoms, then that is a noteworthy improvement in our fight against the virus.

That being said, there are still things that we can do to continue to support our frontline healthcare workers and protect ourselves from COVID-19.

One is to get the booster vaccine. Last week the province of Ontario made a fourth booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine available to those aged 60 and over as well as Indigenous and Metis peoples. In February, a study in the United States showed that while the effectiveness of the third dose of the booster vaccine waned overtime, as expected, it was still 78 per cent effective at preventing hospitalization.

Another thing is masking. Wearing masks has become so politicized through the course of this pandemic.

In Asian countries like Japan since the SARS pandemic of 2003, wearing masks has become common place, not because they are mandatory (prior to the COVID-19 pandemic they were not), but because it is seen as a courtesy to others. If someone is sick, they should wear a mask to, in a small way, do something to help prevent the spread of disease, any respiratory disease.

Doctors, nurses and other medical staff still wear masks all of the time.

Since Ontario has dropped its mask mandate however, I have seen far fewer people wearing them.

I still wear masks whenever I go indoors in a public place. I am not particularly worried about getting COVID-19. I’m young, I’m triple vaxxed, I doubt I would wind up in hospital (you never know though). I wear a mask because of the nature of my work. I travel all over Cornwall and the Counties and meet many people through the course of my day. There is always the chance that I could be infected with COVID-19 and be asymptomatic, but I could easily spread it to a good handful of people in a single day and not know it, so, I mask up.

Keeping COVID hospitalizations down is in all of our interests. If COVID-19 hospitalizations do climb again, well, we’ve seen what happens. Non-urgent procedures get cancelled, serious diseases go undiagnosed, and in the worst of scenarios, maybe there aren’t enough available beds for victims of car accidents, heart attacks, or strokes.

We are almost at a point I believe where COVID will not be the danger to society that it has been. There will come a time, in the near future, maybe six months to a year, where COVID-19 will be like the common flu. COVID-19 will still sadly kill people, but it won’t be the same threat it once was.

I feel that the most misunderstood thing about this pandemic is the threat that it poses. The threat isn’t necessarily that it will kill you personally, because while yes it might, there is a good chance it won’t. The threat is that it will clog up our healthcare system and that is the threat, that is the danger to us all. So, as we enter a sixth wave take heart that things are getting better. Take heart that we are not being asked to stay indoors. Take heart that our sports, concerts and other public gatherings aren’t being cancelled, but, also do your part to help keep it that way. Get vaxxed and mask up.

What do you think readers?

This is the story of an outhouse that for many years took care of campers’ business at a St. Lawrence park.

Our Williamstown Heron Road neighbour, Mr. Seguin, was an attendant at the park.

One day the two-holer was to be decommissioned, so he was instructed to dispose of it.

However, he saw its potential as an upgrade of his home’s one-holer. To his backyard it went, where it served for many a year.

Then, he upgraded his outdoor facility to an indoor one. Learning that was going to demolish it, I pleaded “Hold it!” “Our three little ones, Kyle, Kris and Kara, were then of school age. It would make a fine bus shelter at the end of our long driveway.

Down the road the johnny-on-the-spot came. I covered the two holes with a padded board, gave it a fresh coat of paint and new shingles on its roof. A large window was inserted in its door. As a reminder of our family’s roots and present location, I affixed several signs with directional arrows to its exterior: UKRAINE, ETHELBERT, CONISTON, WILLIAMSTOWN and CORNWALL. Years passed. The children were no longer with us. Events took them elsewhere. The little building remained empty, so up the driveway it came. Its fourth life was to be as a storage shed for rakes, shovels, buckets and other gardening tools.

Then we sold our house of 25 years. Down

The passage of time is relentless. When I discovered it was once again no longer in use, I enquired if I could transport it to my new residence to re-use it for what had once been its fourth use. A sixth life!

Onto my trailer it went. However, the elements had not been kind to the old structure.

Bogus vision sparked manhunt for “murdered” girl Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

When a pretty 17-year-old Lancaster area girl went missing along with a 24-year-old nearby farmhand, most folks, including the police, figured they had run off together.

A few weeks after the missing person report was filed with the Lancaster OPP detachment on Feb. 11, 1963, twin brothers, one a priest in Holland, the other attending a seminary in Indiana, sparked one of the biggest manhunts in local history.

The brothers, related to the missing girl and had knowledge of the situation, claimed to possess extra sensory powers (ESP). Each on the same night, living thousands of miles apart, said they had a vision that showed the girl had been sexually assaulted and beaten to death. The vision showed that her battered body was in a shallow grave near an old building in the woods close to water and not far from her farm home.

Armed with this information, the girl’s uncle, a priest, flew to Canada from Holland to head up a search for his “murdered” niece.

On a soggy, Sunday afternoon on April 21, 1963 an estimated 1,000 people from Cornwall and the United Counties, armed with the vivid description offered up by the two psychics, fanned out through the city and rural area.

Radio station CJSS served as search headquarters and pumped out regular live reports on how the search was progessing.

The day-long search that scoured hundreds of square miles failed to uncover a body. The uncle refused to give up and with a small party continued to search for the

next few days.

It all came to an end with a telephone call from Sault Ste. Marie.

The missing girl, now in Sault Ste. Marie, heard about the bizarre tale and the manhunt. She called her uncle, the priest, to say that she was okay, that she had run off with her boyfriend, the 24-year-old farmhand, which is what police had suspected.

The uncle arranged for a meeting at the Ottawa bus station. A day later, she was re-united with her family. The family asked for the media and public to respect its wish for privacy.

The boyfriend, who returned with the girl, was arrested by the OPP and charged with stealing a car used to make the long journey to Sault Ste. Marie.

As for the bum tip, the girl’s uncle said it wasn’t a hoax. He said that at the time he believed the vision to be true because in Holland such things are more right than wrong.

Fortunately, he noted, this one was wrong. *********** On April 16, 1963, a lower court decision to acquit two Dundas men of assaulting a Jehovah’s Witness in a private home was overturned by County Court Judge G. E. Brennan.

After knocking on the door of a farm house and offering the men literature, the Witness representative allegedly was grabbed by the neck by one of the men, choked and punched in the face by the other other.

The magistrate overseeing the first trial ruled that the Witness member was guilty of trespassing and the assault was justified. He accepted the defence claim that the man refused to leave the home when told to do so and became physically aggressive.

However, Judge Brennan didn’t see it

that way after listening to arguments by defence counsel G. W. Howe, general counsel for Jehovah’s Witnesses of Canada, and well-known Ottawa defence lawyer Royden Hughes.

The judge agreed with Howe that the man was not trespassing by visiting the home and that he didn’t believe the claim by the defence that the Witness member initiated the assault.

Each man was fined $35.

For Jehovah’s Witnesses, it was considered a landmark ruling.

James Libbey reflects on 25 years of Voices International PROVIDED BY CHRONICLE.LU Chronicle.lu recently got the opportunity to speak with James Libbey, son of Wes and Carole Libbey of Cornwall. James is the Artistic Director of Voices International. Chronicle.ly spoke with him about the 25th anniversary of this international choir in Luxembourg.

Founded in 1997 by Peggy Jenks, a music teacher at the former American International School of Luxembourg (today’s International School of Luxembourg), together with some singers, Voices International (VI) today consists of around 60 members of 35 different nationalities.

James Libbey, a music and theatre teacher at the International School of Luxembourg (ISL) and an experienced choral conductor, took over

as Artistic Director of Voices International for the spring 2018 season.

On Saturday 2 April 2022, the international choir celebrated its 25th anniversary with a gala concert, attended by 450 people, at the Conservatoire de la Ville de Luxembourg.

However, this successful event was just the beginning of celebrations planned for this year.

We run workshops to learn music, but also share one of the most diverse buffets in Luxembourg, in which choristers bring food from their home country to share with friends.

This is a small way we can learn about each other, but it is the weekly contact of sitting beside somebody from somewhere else and getting to know them through our common bond of music. For the full story, visit www.

MOVEMENT MATTERS

NATASHA INGRAM MOVE THERAPEUTICS

Delivering a baby is a wondrous marathon.

When stressed, our muscles (and organs!) tense up and don’t work at their optimal capacity. When the contractions start, you’ll want to be as relaxed and as connected with your body as possible. This is achievable with breathing and relaxation techniques. If

you can practise the following exercises in the weeks leading up to your “go” time, your body and mind will thank you. The main goal with these exercises is to maximise oxygen supply to your uterus, core muscles and pelvic floor muscles for ideal function. You can start these exercises as early or as late as you want during your pregnancy. Let me break it down for you.

Step 1. Preparation is key! Find a comfortable, distraction-free place where you can lie in asemi-sitting position or on your side with a pillow between your legs. Don’t be shy with pillows - prop them under your legs and arms so your limbs are slightly flexed.

Step 2. Try these approaches to relax. You can use guided imagery (forming a mental picture of a peaceful scene - or even

visualising yourself in a hot tub). You can use progressive relaxation (tense a body part for 6 seconds then let go, feeling your muscles relax, then move on to another). You can use ‘puppet-string’ relaxation (imagine a string attached to your elbow or knee and lift the string, then feel it fall down).

Step 3. Breathe in, breathe out. In the early stages of labour, you’ll want to focus on prolonged inhales and exhales. Practise filling up your belly on inhale, and emptying/ relaxing on exhale. When contractions start, you’ll have to perform shorter breaths in and out.

Practise this by doing the “hee-ha” sound while smiling on exhale. When your body feels the urge to push, you’ll want to push on an exhale (and sound as many grunts and

groans as you want) while contracting your core and relaxing your pelvic floor.

Now you have it! You can practise these exercises in a controlled environment, for 5-10 minutes daily, leading up to your delivery. As you get closer to your delivery, try the same exercises in a more distracting environment to prepare for the hospital or home birth. By relaxing your uterus and optimising muscle control, you will have more efficient pushes and in essence a shorter labour. Can I get a yes, please! If you want more information about optimising your labour and delivery, please feel free to reach out to myself @ Move Therapeutics, Natasha@movetherapeutics.ca, 343-885-1240

-Stay home if you are sick.

The letter was signed by all Eastern Ontario health units and all of the Chiefs of Staffs of hospitals within the region.

Plan Your Spring Projects With SNC PROVIDED BY SOUTH NATION CONSERVATION Are you looking ahead to spring projects and planning to develop within the watershed near a river, stream, floodplain, wetland, slope, or shoreline?

If so, South Nation Conservation (SNC) is reminding residents from across its 4,441 km2 jurisdiction in Eastern Ontario to contact its Approvals Team before proceeding.

“We work with residents to ensure people and property are protected where development is proposed in and around natural hazards,” explains Alison McDonald, SNC’s Approval Lead. “This involves working with residents through the approvals process when a permit is required.”

SNC staff are available for pre-consultations at its head office in Finch, or virtually online, making it easier for residents to meet and discuss projects and permit approvals and help avoid delays. A new online application form is now available on the SNC website, further simplifying the application pro-

cess for property owners.

While a permit from the Conservation Authority may not always be required, SNC staff may be able to provide advice and referrals to help people complete their projects.

Areas that have been studied for flood and erosion hazards have been mapped and can be viewed online through SNC’s public geoportal. Through the mapping portal, residents can see flood prone areas, along with SNC’s Regulations Limit, which includes areas where permission may be required before construction projects can proceed.

SNC is also currently holding public consultation on updated hazard mapping in the Bear Brook and tributaries within the City of Ottawa. Study information and draft maps can be accessed online at www.nation. on.ca/consultations.

SNC’s septic officials conduct septic system inspections and issue permits on behalf of 13 municipalities within all regions within the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, the City of Cornwall, and Stormont, Dundas

and Glengarry, except for North and South Glengarry. In 2021, a record 500 septic permit approvals were issued to by SNC. Staff are also available to answer questions on tree planting projects, free woodlot management advice, recreational opportunities, and landowner stewardship projects.

“We pride ourselves on providing high

quality environmental services to our member municipalities and their residents,” adds McDonald. “These valuable partnerships allow us to protect people, property and the local environment.”

How to decorate your table for Easter

5 9th St. E. 613-938-7339 place setting and decorate the table with candles and greenery.

DISHWARE Easter is the perfect time to dust off your festive glasses and plates. Dishware with polka dots and flowers or glasses with hand-painted landscapes and animals are ideal. If you have plates and bowls in a variety of bright colours, feel free to mix and match.

To find the perfect Easter decor, visit your local shops.

Fashion tips for Easter Traditionally, wearing new clothes on Easter is believed to bring good luck. Here are some tips to help you pick out an outfit for the occasion.

WHAT TO AVOID Easter is the perfect time to dress up and wear fun clothing and accessories. Consequently, you should avoid putting on basic jeans, joggers and leggings or wearing dark and drab colours like black, grey and brown. Moreover, avoid layers of heavy clothing and bulky jewelry.

After all, Easter and spring are all about lightness.

WHAT TO WEAR Wear cheerful colours like blue, pink, purple and yellow. Pick out something playful yet stylish. For example, a dress, pleated trousers or a fitted suit are all great options. You may also want to consider wearing a floral-print shirt, tunic, skirt or silk scarf. If you decide to wear casual attire, make sure you look well put

together.

Whether you’re having dinner at a restaurant, brunch at home or participating in an egg hunt outdoors, choose an outfit that’s suitable for the celebration planned.

To find the perfect outfit for Easter, visit your local boutiques.

Happy Easter!

If you’re bringing family and friends together for an Easter meal, here are a few tips to help you decorate your table for the occasion.

TABLE LINENS Find a pastel tablecloth or one with a chick, rabbit, egg or floral pattern. If you opt for a busy pattern, decorate minimally to prevent the table from looking overcrowded. If you choose a plain tablecloth, experiment with a colourful table runner or napkins. If you’re good with your hands, try folding the napkins to look like rabbit ears.

CENTREPIECE Spring flowers like tulips and daffodils make great centrepieces. You could also place a few coloured eggs around the table or in small baskets. Don’t forget to put a chocolate at each

Do you want to spoil your loved ones for Easter? If chocolate isn’t the ideal option, here are five gift ideas to consider.

1. A BOOK Give your little one a collection of Easter stories or a book starring a bunny. If you want to buy a gift for someone who loves baking, a cookbook is a great option.

2. A BOARD GAME Pick out a board game that features rabbits, chickens or eggs. A game with an egg-hunting or seek-and-find concept is also suitable.

3. TABLEWARE Easter-themed tableware is sure to please. For example, you could give your loved one a cute rabbit mug or a set of pastel egg cups.

4. A DECORATIVE OBJECT Hen, chick and rabbit figurines and stuffed animals are great gifts for little ones.

CAREER OPPORTUNITY

Submit your cover letter and resume through the Career Opportunities page on www.cornwallelectric.com.

This opportunity will remain open until filled.

We thank all respondents, however due to volume we will only contact those selected for an interview.

how you left your former job, this question is usually implied. Consequently, stating that your departure was amicable will reassure the interviewer that you aren’t impulsive or confrontational.

It’s a good idea to indicate that you carefully considered your decision and left your position in a responsible and professional manner. If things didn’t go well at your last job, admit that you mishandled the situation and emphasize that you’ve learned from your mistakes.

SUBSTATION FOREPERSON

Looking for a career in which you can perform hands-on technical work on a range of complex electrical equipment as well as be in a position of leadership to advise others based on your technical knowledge and experience?

This position is located in beautiful Cornwall, Ontario, which is a safe and friendly growing community located on the banks of the St. Lawrence River in Eastern Ontario. Reporting to the Manager, Technical Services, Eastern Ontario, the Substation Foreperson, will be responsible for transmission and distribution substation operations of Eastern Region; including construction, upgrading, maintenance, and troubleshooting. The incumbent is also responsible for system control room operations. Experience and expertise in hands-on substation maintenance and construction, substation protection and control, metering, SCADA, GIS & OMS, and control room operations are valuable assets.

The successful candidate will have practical knowledge of industry rules, common electrical utility practices and regulations (such as but not limited to the OEB, CEC, and IHSA). Candidates will have a working knowledge of electrical utility operations, with a foundation of power systems and distribution system planning. This will be in addition to excellent communication and interpersonal skills and working knowledge of Microsoft Office.

Along with establishing and maintaining positive customer relationships, the incumbent in this position will foster harmonious labour relations, seek process improvement opportunities as well as ensure compliance to Company polices and all applicable legislation. If you happen to have a positive attitude, be seeking a rewarding career, an opportunity to work both independently and be part of a collaborative/dynamic team with an attractive compensation package and more - we encourage you to apply.

If you quit your previous job, it’s normal for potential employers to be curious about why you left.

Asking this question can help them determine if your decision was well thought out and if you’re on good terms with your previous employer. Your answer will say a lot about you as a potential candidate.

DON’T BAD-MOUTH YOUR FORMER EMPLOYER Even if you left your previous job because of poor working conditions or tense professio­nal relationships, never blame your former boss. Instead, be diplomatic and use the first-person plural. For example, you could say, “we didn’t see eye to eye.”

Showing that you respect your former employer will give your interviewer a good idea as to what kind of relationships you’ll cultivate with your future managers and colleagues.

Notre famille a été infiniment touchée par vos témoignages de sympathie et votre soutien qui ont été d’un grand réconfort dans ces moments difficiles. Savoir que nous pouvons compter sur la famille et les amis nous aide beaucoup à surmonter cette épreuve douloureuse. Nous vous remercions de tout coeur.

“Every piece of clothing we pick up over the week is kept out of the landfill,” said Dave Kuhn, Waste Management Supervisor. “I’d like to take that a step further – can we reduce the amount of textile waste we create?

Reducing ‘fast fashion’ clothing and mending small defects in your current wardrobe can not only keep some money in your pocket, it can also help extend the life of our Landfill Site which has approximately 10 years remaining.”

thrift store. When these stores are no longer able to accept donations, leftovers will be brought to Value Village and any other thrift stores in Eastern Ontario that can accept clothes.

The goal of Cornwall Gives-A-Shirt is to keep clothing waste out of the landfill. Textiles can be reused — sold in thrift stores — or recycled, to be made into new materials.

For the Spring Collection, city residents are asked to donate summer and spring items.

Fall and winter items will be accepted during the upcoming Fall Give-A-Shirt collection

330844

Since the start of the Cornwall Gives-A-Shirt campaign five years ago, Cornwall residents have donated a staggering amount of textile waste — 39,800kgs to be exact!

Last year, residents diverted a total of 19.35 tonnes (19,350Kgs) of clothing, bedding, and shoes from the Cornwall landfill.

With such great numbers, it’s no surprise that the Give-A-Shirt Spring Collection is back once more, from April 18 to 21. To participate, simply: Collect used clothing, shoes, or linen.

Bag them and place a sign on the bag stating: “give a shirt” If you have items that are torn, stained, or not reusable, please label the bag “clothes for recycling” Put the bag(s) out on your regular collection day, a few feet away from your garbage and recycling.

Items like toys, housewares, and books will not be accepted.

Donations will be brought to the Agape Centre’s New For You, Baldwin House’s Serendipity Boutique, and the Salvation Army

coaching staff. These girls worked hard at all the practices, off ice training and skills clinics that our coaches set up for them. Most importantly, I would bet if you asked the girls they would even say they had Fun doing it.

There were no failures this season only teachable moments.

There was definitely no I in team this season and these girls have played together as just that a Team. See you at the rink!

As our 2021-2022 hockey season comes to an end, the coaching staff of this year’s U13 Tier 2 team is proud to celebrate the improvement, growth and development of our girls.

For many of the girls on our team this was their first year playing at a competitive level.

Despite the new faces this season they have formed a bond that brought them together as a team to persevere and bring a whole new level to their development as players.

The Cornwall Typhoons U13 Tier 2 placed 7th overall in the league standings.

They beat out the second place team the Carleton Place Cyclones in a shoot out to secure a spot in the semi-finals for league playoff’s where they lost to the first place team in the league the Kanata Rangers. Our Cornwall U13 Tier 2 Typhoons represented

our association by bringing home silver from both the Oshawa General Ladies Fall Classic Tournament, and from the Whitby Tournament of Heroes. The team fought hard to secure their place at the 2022 OWHA Provincials.

After tying the Glengarry Highlanders and beating out the Kingston Ice Wolves and the Napanee Crunch in the play downs.

Out of 65 U13 B teams in Ontario only 17 Qualify for Provincials and our girls made it to the final 8.

Our Cornwall Typhoons U13 Tier 2 went undefeated in the round robin at the OWHA Provincials to move forward to the quarter finals. The team fought hard however lost to the Woodstock Wildcats in the quarter finals to end their season.

What made our team different than others this season is their bond that turned our team into a hockey family.

Reader says: After a long winter 2022, I was happy to see Spring come around.

But like every year it comes with an EYE SORE, and the EYE SORE is LITTER or other words “GARBAGE ! on the grounds of Cornwall.” I went for a walk towards the Eastcourt Mall and I could NOT believe the amount of garbage “LITTER” on the streets of Cornwall. From covid masks, coffee cups, plastic bottles, plastic bags, cans, and even Dog POO in bags! and much more. And I have also seen people throw garbage out their vehical windows...

WHAT IS WRONG ? WHY CAN’T people just find a garbage can or a recycle bin ? Some people are just plain LAZY ! When I go for a walk I bring an extra bag so I can pick up plastic bottles, cans, etc and put them in my Blue box. My mom and dad said respect each other and respect PLANET EARTH.

Une grande célébration pour honorer le mois de sensibilisation à l’autisme COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LE CSDCEO CORNWALL, Ontario - Le 5 avril dernier, plusieurs dignitaires et élèves du Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO) se sont rassemblés à l’École élémentaire catholique Marie-Tanguay à Cornwall, pour souligner la Journée mondiale de la sensibilisation à l’autisme.

En 2007, l’Organisation des Nations Unies a déclaré le 2 avril comme la Journée mondiale de la sensibilisation à l’autisme. Le mois d’avril est dorénavant consacré à sensibiliser et à éduquer la population sur ce qu’est le trouble du spectre de l’autisme. Afin de souligner la journée à l’école, plusieurs dignitaires, membres du personnel et élèves ont participé, le 5 avril, à un lever du drapeau de l’autisme et une marche symbolique. Cette journée spéciale se veut un tremplin vers des discussions beaucoup plus vastes, comme l’inclusion de toutes et tous et le respect des différences. « La Journée mondiale de sensibilisation à

l’autisme nous permet de prendre le temps d’en apprendre davantage sur ce trouble du neuro-développement et de se sensibiliser à la cause. Cette initiative s’inscrit dans notre projet commun de cultiver un climat scolaire positif qui nous encourage toutes et tous à accueillir les différences. Au CSDCEO, nous nous engageons à offrir à chaque élève un milieu d’apprentissage bienveillant, inclusif, équitable et sécuritaire.», de partager Mme Eugénie Congi, directrice de l’éducation et secrétaire.

Le Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO) est en croissance au niveau des inscriptions. Il assure l’éducation à plus de 10 400 élèves, répartis dans plusieurs centres de la petite enfance (garderies), 25 écoles élémentaires, 7 écoles secondaires et le Centre d’éducation et de formation de l’Est ontarien (CÉFEO). En plus d’avoir le plus haut taux de diplomation de la région (94,1 %), le CSDCEO offre des programmes pour la réussite de tous les élèves, un enseignement basé

présentées”, a déclaré Etienne Saint-Aubin, président de la TDCC. “Il n’y a pas de limites à ce que nous pouvons faire en tant que communauté lorsque nous saisissons l’opportunité de mettre en avant notre meilleur travail ensemble. Ce programme, qui crée des emplois, met en valeur notre communauté et contribue à notre sentiment de fierté commune, existe parce que le Conseil de l’époque a agi pour aider à jouer un plus grand rôle dans le domaine crucial du tourisme”, a-t-il ajouté. Le fonds est alimenté par la taxe municipale sur l’hébergement, une taxe de quatre pour cent sur les chambres d’hôtel et autres hébergements similaires qui a été introduite par le conseil

municipal en 2018. Sur l’argent collecté grâce à cette taxe, 45 % vont au Fonds de développement du tourisme, un autre 45 % va à Cornwall Tourism, et les 10 % restants vont aux frais d’administration de la Ville de Cornwall. La Cornwall Tourism Development Corporation a choisi de financer 12 des 15 demandes qu’elle a reçues en 2021, qui sont les suivantes : • Apples & Art Studio Tour - 4 000 $ (en anglais seulement) • Promenade artistique de Cornwall - 800 • Musée communautaire de Cornwall - 3 000 • Cornwall Escape Bike Tours - 11 460 dollars • Cuisine essentielle - 7 030

Les prix YourTV pour la réussite des jeunes sont ouverts NICK SEEBRUCH, TRADUIT PAR NICK LAURIN nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario - YourTV Cornwall et le Club Optimiste de Cornwall s’associent à nouveau pour présenter les Youth Achievement Awards annuels.

Ces prix récompensent les étudiants de la région qui ont fait une différence dans leur communauté.

Les nominations peuvent être faites dans trois catégories dans quatre groupes d’âge : At My Best , Giving Back , et Kindness is Cool - 4e à 6e année, 7e à 8e année, 9e à 10e année et 11e à 12e année.

“C’est vraiment mon événement préféré de l’année”, a déclaré le président sortant du Club Optimiste de Cornwall, Terry Muir.

“Nos membres l’attendent aussi avec impatience et nous collectons des fonds tout au long de l’année pour obtenir des prix. Le Club Optimiste a pour mission de servir les jeunes de notre communauté, et quelle meilleure façon de le faire que de reconnaître ceux qui font une différence dans notre communauté ?”. Les candidats doivent vivre à Cornwall, South Glengarry ou South Stormont. Les mises en candidature peuvent être soumises en ligne sur le site Web du Club Optimiste de Cornwall à optimistclubofcornwall.org.

La date limite pour les nominations est le 6 mai.

“Cela signifie tellement pour les jeunes que nous nous reconnaissons”, a déclaré Gabriel Riviere-Reid, producteur de YourTV. “Ce qui m’a surpris l’année dernière, c’est

que les enfants étaient effectivement ravis de recevoir la tablette, mais beaucoup étaient encore plus ravis de recevoir les certificats des députés fédéraux et provinciaux. Ce sont souvent des enfants qui ne reçoivent pas régulièrement ce genre d’honneurs et de fanfares.”

La gentillesse, c’est cool - Les candidats auront rendu un service ou accompli un acte de gentillesse, des actes d’héroïsme, de soutien ou d’encouragement à un ami, à un membre de la famille, à un voisin ou à un étranger sans en tirer un avantage personnel. Il peut s’agir d’un service permanent ou ponctuel à une personne, un groupe ou une communauté.

Le BSEO incite le public à obtenir une dose de rappel du vaccin contre la COVID-19 COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LE BSEO

CORNWALL, Ontario - Alors que sont levées les restrictions de santé publique et que la transmission de la COVID-19 augmente lentement, le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario (BSEO) incite toutes les personnes admissibles à recevoir une dose de rappel du vaccin contre la COVID-19 dès que possible. « J’encourage fortement tous les individus de 12 ans et plus qui ont reçu les deux premières doses d’une série de vaccins contre la COVID-19 de prendre rendez-vous dès qu’ils sont admissibles à la troisième dose », indique le Dr Paul Roumeliotis, Médecin hygiéniste. « De fortes preuves appuient le fait que les

personnes qui ont reçu une troisième dose d’un vaccin contre la COVID-19 sont mieux protégées contre le variant Omicron et ses sous-lignées pendant plus longtemps que les personnes qui n’ont reçu que deux doses. » En plus de réduire vos chances d’être infecté, la troisième dose vous protège également d’une maladie grave si vous êtes infecté. « La troisième dose contribuera également à maintenir notre système de santé et à éviter d’avoir à remettre en place des restrictions plus tard », ajoute le Dr Roumeliotis.

Les rendez-vous sont disponibles via le système provincial à covid-19.ontario.ca/rendezvous-vaccin et l’InfoCentre provincial pour la vaccination au 1 833 943-3900. Les

personnes qui ont besoin d’aide ou d’accommodements spéciaux peuvent appeler le BSEO au 1 800 267-7120. Des doses de rappel sont également disponibles dans les pharmacies partenaires ou auprès de votre fournisseur de soins de santé.

Le port du masque est toujours recommandé Bien que le port du masque ne soit plus obligatoire dans la plupart des lieux publics, le BSEO recommande toujours fortement aux membres du public de porter un masque, en particulier lorsqu’ils se trouvent dans des situations où le risque de transmission est plus élevé, comme à l’intérieur dans les endroits bondés et mal ventilés, ou en contact étroit

sauver davantage de vies grâce à des transplantations.

Actuellement, en Ontario, plus de 1 500 personnes sont dans l’attente d’une transplantation d’organe susceptible de leur sauver la vie, certaines étant dans notre communauté. Tous les trois jours, une personne meurt puisqu’elle n’a pas reçu de greffe à temps. Bien que plus de 90 % de la population ontarienne appuie le don d’organes, seulement 35 % y sont inscrits. En faisant don de vos organes et tissus après la mort, vous pouvez sauver jusqu’à 8 vies et en améliorer jusqu’à 75 autres.

Certains estiment que l’âge et les problèmes médicaux sont des facteurs qui empêchent de faire un tel don. Cependant, ni l’âge ni l’état de santé n’empêchent de devenir un donneur d’organes. De plus, le don d’organes et de tissus n’affecte en rien les plans funéraires, dont la volonté d’avoir un cercueil ouvert. En vous inscrivant, vous pouvez choisir les organes à donner et annuler votre inscription en tout temps. « L’inscription au don d’organes est source d’espoir pour les gens de votre communauté qui attendent une greffe pouvant leur sauver la vie, dit le Dr Chris Simpson, vice-président directeur, services médicaux de Santé Ontario. Cela ne prend que deux minutes et pourrait un jour sauver des vies. Je demande à toutes les personnes qui ne sont pas encore inscrites de le faire au www.soyezundonneur.ca, puis de faire part de leur déci-

avec des personnes non vaccinées ou malades. « En plus de recevoir votre dose de rappel, une autre mesure que vous pouvez prendre pour vous protéger et protéger vos proches, c’est de continuer à porter un masque », explique le Dr Roumeliotis. « Je comprends que les gens en ont assez de les porter, mais les masques peuvent nous aider à réduire le niveau d’infections dans la communauté à mesure que nous augmentons nos interactions. » Pour de plus amples renseignements concernant le vaccin contre la COVID-19 et la prévention des infections, allez à www.BSEO. ca.

sion à leur famille. » Depuis 2014, l’HCC gère son propre programme de dons d’organes et de tissus, en partenariat avec Santé Ontario (Réseau Trillium pour le don de vie). Depuis cette date, l’hôpital a appuyé 7 dons d’organe, sauvé directement 13 personnes et amélioré la vie de bien d’autres grâce à plus de 100 dons de tissus.

L’an dernier, l’HCC a été salué par Santé Ontario (Réseau Trillium pour le don de vie) qui lui a décerné le Prix du taux d’approche

des donneurs admissibles pour ses efforts remarquables visant à faciliter la discussion sur les dons en compagnie des patients admissibles ou des familles des personnes en fin de vie.

Le taux d’inscription de 41 % à Cornwall est supérieur à la moyenne provinciale de 35 %, soit le 128e rang de 170 communautés ontariennes. Apprenez-en davantage et indiquez votre consentement au don d’organes et de tissus dès aujourd’hui au www. soyezundonneur.ca.

CORNWALL, Ontario - L’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall (HCC) souligne le mois « Soyez un donneur » par une nouvelle affiche commémorative consacrée aux donneurs d’organes et de tissus ainsi qu’à leur famille.

L’affiche se trouve dans la salle d’attente de l’Unité de soins aux patients en phase critique, un endroit où des conversations sur la fin de vie ont souvent lieu avec les familles de donneurs potentiels. Là, les gens pourront aussi réfléchir au don de vie par les donneuses et donneurs. L’arbre de vie qui s’y trouve représente la force et les nouveaux départs.

L’idée d’un mémorial à l’HCC est d’abord venue de la famille d’un donneur. Le concept final a été approuvé par le Comité des dons d’organes et de tissus de l’hôpital. « Durant une période des plus difficiles, les donneurs et leur famille ont voulu faire le don de vie aux autres par le don d’organes et de tissus; de bien des façons, c’est le plus grand cadeau qu’on puisse faire, dit la présidente et directrice générale de l’HCC, Jeanette Despatie. Cette nouvelle affiche est dédiée à tous les donneurs d’organes et de tissus à l’HCC ainsi qu’aux familles qui ont appuyé cette décision en sachant qu’elle sauverait et améliorerait la vie de bien des gens », ajoute-t-elle.

Le mois d’avril désigné le mois « Soyez un donneur » est consacré à la sensibilisation des gens au don d’organes pour aider à
