Bridge: a great pastime Bridge is a card game that’s played with four players divided into two teams. Each team must try to find a contract that allows them to score the most points. This is determined by bidding, which consists of establishing the denomination, with or without a trump suit, and the bid or number of tricks for the contract. The team with the highest bid then wins the number of tricks announced.

Playing bridge has a host of benefits.

It’s an inexpensive pastime that can allow you to maintain a stimulating social life and meet new people. It also helps improve your memory and concentration.

Bridge isn’t a game of chance. It’s a strategy game that requires reasoning, mental calculation, creativity and decision-making skills. It’s a real mental exercise and may even help prevent Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

If you want to give this card game a try, look for a bridge club in your area Riverfront Retirement Centre offers complete retirement living and you will feel safe living here. We comply with government recommended health measures.

Waterfront Apartments available along with private suites and apartments. Plus much much more.

UCDSB to review French Immersion

BY PHILLIP BLANCHER, LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER BROCKVILLE – Enrolment trends at the area’s largest English-language school board secondary schools prompted a review of French language programming.

Trustees at the Upper Canada District School Board voted April 13 to review its French Immersion programming.

Trustee William MacPherson (Ward Two) tabled the motion saying he has observed declining FI enrolment further into secondary school programming.

“French is a little different than math in that it is not equal across the board. What is successful in Prescott-Russell is less of a success in Lanark,” MacPherson said.

Calling the move of students from small rural schools to attend French Immersion programming an “exodus”, he estimated that only 10 per cent of those students graduate secondary school with a French language certificate.

MacPherson told trustees he wants to see how existing FI programming and CoreFrench programming can be enhanced for different areas of the board.

The UCDSB currently offers dual-track FI programming in most secondary schools,

and extended French programming in the remaining schools. Thirty-five of the boards 53 elementary schools offer FI or duel-track programming.

Trustee Donald Cram (Ward One) agreed with the review.

“As a former principal of a school, there is a mass exodus [from FI] at the end of Grade 8,” he told the board. “There is another at Grade 10. I think we need to look at our programming, enhance it, and make it more viable for more students right through to Grade 12.”

At senior grades in many UCDSB schools, there is a drop in FI enrolment due to course selection options. Enrolment numbers dictate what courses are offered each school year meaning students often do not have a language option for courses.

Cram mused that the board may have to look at curtailing FI at the end of Grade 8. “I think we really need to look at our whole French Immersion delivery program.” The program review will be conducted by Director of Education Ron Ferguson, who will report to the board in January 2023. UCDSB trustees last reviewed French language programming at the board in the 2013-14 school year.

Mrs. B’s is “the store”

leader in job creation again.

The benefits of a prosperous business environment allowed Ontario to lead in the country’s job growth and generated the resources needed to invest in our Government’s services. Our health care has seen the largest investment in Ontario’s history, experiencing a 32% increase over the previous Government. It includes annual increases of $2 billion in OHIP spending, $304 million in community care spending, and $123 million in mental health.

We also inherited a Long-Term-Care sector that had only added 611 net beds, resulting in a current waitlist of more than 38,000 residents. Our Government released its plan to fix the LTC problem, built around three pillars: improving staffing and care, strengthening accountability, enforcement, and transparency, and building modern, safe, comfortable homes for our seniors.

Currently, we have over 21,000 net new beds and 16,000 upgraded beds in the $6.4 billion development pipeline.

We have also increased education spending by 9% since 2018, which includes a $683 million increase in grants for student needs, $176 million for schoolbased tutoring, and $96 million for mental health. In addition, our capital program of more than $1.5 billion in education projects includes 76 new schools, 75 additions and renovations to existing facilities and 4,908 new licensed childcare spaces.

Under this Premier, our government worked to put money back in people’s pockets. Welowered the income tax for our low-income workers and established the Seniors Home Safety Tax Credit and the Ontario Jobs Training Tax Credit for workers looking to upgrade their skills.

We also created the Ontario Childcare Tax Credit to provide parents with the support and flexibility to choose the best childcare options. The recent deal with the Federal Government will increase this benefit to provide $10 per day of childcare.

Our Staycation Tax Credit will help our hospitality industry while saving travellers money when they vacation in Ontario this year. The removal of Ontario’s license plate renewal fees and our reduction in the province’s gas tax will save our motorists money and filter down to help lower the cost of your essential purchases, including your groceries.

With the provincial election just weeks ahead, my time as your Member of Provincial Parliament is soon concluding.

I want to thank the residents of Stormont, Dundas, and South Glengarry for allowing me to represent you at Queen’s Park over the past three terms. It has been an honour and a privilege.

Thank you again.

www.cornwallseawaynews.com - Seaway News - Wednesday, April 27, 2022 - 5

We’ve got you covered...

Queen’s Park Update - April, 2022 During my time in municipal politics, the province was governed by all three major parties. As a result, I experienced the different relationships between the province and its municipal partners. Under the former Government, municipalities made their requests, got promises, but saw little action to address their needs. I witnessed the rapid changes made during the first six months of our Government.

During one of our fall meetings, one of AMO’s (Association of Municipalities of Ontario) representatives exclaimed that they were “doing handstands in the aisle ways” in response to the changes already put in place. The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing was very aware of the needs of municipalities. He undertook the consultations needed to cut the expensive and needless red tape that were burdening municipalities while increasing the funding they needed to operate and build the infrastructure their residents required.

In early 2020, the world was rocked by a pandemic the likes it had not seen in over a hundred years. Our Government took immediate action to address a virus that we had very little knowledge. With the cooperation of the Federal Government, we put in place the funding and support Ontarians needed to weather the health emergency. The measures helped the province experience the lowest death rate from COVID-19 of the provinces outside of the Atlantic bubble and one of the lowest in the world. The pandemic will change the way we live.

Early on, the importance of reliable high-speed internet became apparent, and our Government committed to the largest investment in the country, including that of the Federal Government, to connect every household and business in the province with a minimum of 50 Mbps service. This investment will make Ontario a global leader and open up many new services and possibilities for our residents.

There were many issues that we needed as the Government to address.

Manufacturers had let us know that Ontario had become the most expensive jurisdiction in North America to conduct business, and they were leaving with their limited investment dollars. For example, of the last fourteen automotive plants established in North America prior to 2018, ten were built in the U.S. and four in Mexico. Our Government took the steps necessary to re-establish Ontario as the place to live, work, and raise a family. The cost of electricity was a priority, and we took immediate steps to cut costs by more than fourteen percent over the previous Government’s projections. Overall, we lowered the costs of doing business in Ontario significantly, making Ontario a

Township of South Glengarry to donate 115 acres of forests to RRCA PROVIDED BY RRCA April 22, 2022 – The Township of South Glengarry and the Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA) are pleased to announce that a combined 115 acres of forests at two sites in South Glengarry will be donated to the Conservation Authority.

“We are pleased to entrust this land to the RRCA for perpetual conservation” says South Glengarry Mayor and RRCA Board Member, Lyle Warden. “These forests will continue to strengthen our region’s tree cover and provide valuable plant and wildlife habitat.”

The larger of the two forests is 100 acres in size, and is located in Glen Roy, between

Caber Road and County Road 25, while the smaller, 15-acre site is in Lancaster Heights, along the Ontario and Quebec border. Both sites feature a healthy diversity of tree species, including sugar maple, bur oak, black ash, red pine, as well as an endangered tree species: butternut.

South Glengarry voted to donate the land to the RRCA during its April 4 council meeting. Township staff had recommended the two parcels be transferred to an organization with the expertise to maintain the existing forests. The RRCA’s Board of Directors accepted the two forests at its April 21 meeting.

“We are honoured to have been chosen as

the steward of these forests,” says RRCA Chair and South Glengarry Councillor, Martin Lang. “A strong tree canopy plays an invaluable role in the overall health our watersheds. The RRCA will make sure these two forests are protected and maintained into the future.”

The donation follows last year’s gifting of a 100-acre wetland to the RRCA by the Township of South Stormont in the area A variety of tree species are seen at the known as Lakeview Marsh. Currently, the Lancaster Heights forest site in South RRCA manages and conserves 1,644 acres Glengarry. of environmentally significant land in order to For more information, please go to rrca. enhance forest cover, conserve sensitive ecological habitat, and provide recreational on.ca or contact (613) 938-3611 or info@ rrca.on.ca. opportunities to the public.

More work for SDG roads approved

BY PHILLIP BLANCHER, LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER CORNWALL – Four additional county roads, including two in South Dundas, will be rehabilitated this year.

SDG Counties Council approved the contracts for additional “Now Needs” road work on County Roads 7, 19, 22, and 31 at their April 19 meeting.

The road plan was a negotiated compromise by Counties Council at the February 2022 meeting.

County Road 7 will be resurfaced from Froats Road through Dunbar to the intersection of CR7 and CR8. The work will include widening shoulders and curbing in Dunbar.

A 4.2 kilometre section of CR 31 from

CR28 in Glen Becker north to Williamsburg will also be resurfaced.

The eastern 3.4 kilometre section of CR22 will also be resurfaced, and a small section of CR19 will have skim patch covering the areas most in need of work.

The tenders are split into two parts, coldin-place rehabilitation, and hot-mix paving.

Both tenders were significantly higher than planned, which prompted a discussion about dipping into reserves as the taxation funding for the projects will not cover the project costs.

Roto Mill Inc. was awarded the cold-inplace tender for $1,725,427.

Ontario calling for submissions

Successful Job Fair Over 500 people attended the recent Cornwall and Area Job Fair – an encouraging sign to local employers who are looking to add to their rosters.

“We have already hired a couple of people that we met at the Job Fair,” says Richard Beaulieu, Plant Superintendent with Hood Packaging. “We will be expanding production in Cornwall and we are actively recruiting.”

Hood Packaging was one of over 40 local employers who exhibited at the job fair.

Companies ranged from the largest private sector employer – Walmart Logistics, to food processors such as Leclerc and Olymel, to smaller companies such as Minimax Express.

All at the job fair was the City of Cornwall which is also recruiting.

This is the eighth consecutive year that a

Job Fair has been held in Cornwall. All in all, it was a busy day for both job seekers and employers.

“We were encouraged with the turnout, which far surpassed the numbers we had last fall,” says Carilyne Hebert, Executive Director of the Social Development Council of Cornwall and Area, and organizer of the job fair. “Having so many employers in one room is a big draw, and being able to talk directly to company officials about employment opportunities is invaluable.”

There are over 500 open positions in Cornwall right now, ranging from entry level positions to skilled technical positions to management roles. Local job postings can be found on ChooseCornwall.ca

Jump into Spring with some Bling!

(CORNWALL) — The Ontario government is calling for submissions for the Council of the Federation Award for Innovation in Mental Health and Addictions Care. This one-time award will be presented in each province and territory for initiatives that positively impact mental health and addictions care and will recognize and support individuals and organizations excelling in this field.

I know there are many mental health services and programs that have made a difference to Ontarians in need,” said Jim McDonell, MPP for Stormont-DundasSouth Glengarry. “I encourage these worthy organizations to apply for this great honour.”

The award in Ontario provides recognition and support for non-governmental, community, private sector, academic and Indigenous-led initiatives in the

province. Indigenous government initiatives are also eligible. The Council of the Federation aims to recognize achievement and innovation and encourage others in the field to be innovative in their work.

The award recipient will receive a certificate, signed by the Premier, as well as a $5,000 prize to advance the awarded initiative and foster further innovation.

All recipients will be recognized nationally, and the winning initiative will be used as an example to promote innovation and collaboration among all provinces and territories.

Award recipients will be announced in summer 2022.

Applications will be accepted until April 29, 2022.

Stop sitting on the fence

SEAWAY NEWS

Winston Churchill once said of the fighting that raged early in the Second World War: “Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”

The same can be said of the pandemic, if you squint.

We’re rounding the corner on the sixth wave of this two-year-old pandemic, hoping against hope that the ray of light at the end of this tunnel of frustration means we’re getting back to ‘normal’ – whatever that means.

It is believed that with a combination of vaccinations, boosters and something approaching herd immunity, we are setting ourselves up for the best summer since 2019.

Remember 2019? It was a glorious time when Donald Trump was impeached (the first time), Prince Harry and Megan Markle were still ‘royal’ and local festivals like the Glengarry Highland Games, Ribfest and the Williamstown Fair were staples of summer fun.

Sadly, the last two years have been

anything but fun.

As we approach summer 2022, the chances of some pandemic-free outdoor celebrations appear to be set for a pretty exciting return.

But the problem is the province is still rife with COVID. A couple of weeks ago a provincial expert suggested as many as 100,000 (probably more) new cases of COVID were occurring daily in Ontario.

Remember when it would increase from 300 to 325 and people would lose their minds?

Now were talking tens of thousands of cases every day.

The reason we can afford to be so optimistic this year, is because of those vaccines we noted earlier. And the masking.

And the hand-washing. And the social distancing. And the sacrifices.

All of those things, and a host of others, have brought us to a moment where we can actually get a glimpse of a future without words like ‘pandemic’, ‘COVID’ and worst of all ‘lockdown.’

How can we ensure that the summer we so dearly want (and deserve) becomes a reality? By encouraging those still sitting on

the fence to get the jab and be part of the solution. Even the most ardent of anti-vax sympathizers should be swayed by the simple fact that tens of thousands of cases of COVID-19 have descended on the province – and yet our health-care system has been able to bend without breaking.

Despite the rise in cases, mask mandates have remained shelved by the government (we still encourage you to wear one, if you feel uncomfortable in certain situations), businesses are open and big plans are in place for this summer.

And perhaps most telling of all – those who have been vaxxed are fine. Just fine.

Sure, people have reported some after effects from getting the shot, like a painful arm, fever/chills and there’s even been some really serious cases of negative side-effects.

But let’s be honest – those small number of issues is nothing compared to the MILLIONS of cases of COVID-19 that have been blunted by the vaccine.

The needle works. If you haven’t got it, get it. Now.

1973-1974: During 13 months vanning through Europe and North Africa, we gazed at the Ukrainian landscape from the Bulgarian border. Being independent travellers, we were not allowed to cross unless escorted.

Those were the Cold War days.

We paid our respects in many WW II military cemeteries and memorials in Holland, France, Italy, Germany and Tunisia. The fallen of both Allied and Axis armies were buried there. Among them there must have been men and women who could have become my teachers, employers, co-workers or next-door neighbours.

At each, whether they were friend or foe, I reflected upon the price of war and felt gratitude I was born about 21 years too late to serve.

In each cemetery I was moved, but only to tears in the Canadian war cemeteries. That’s what nationalism and patriotism do, no mat-

ter how shallow one’s roots may be.

I was born in Canada. So were both of my parents, but their Ukrainian ways were as deep as if they had been born in Ukraine.

Where they were born (Ethelbert, Manitoba and Coniston, Ontario) the foods, language and culture were more Ukrainian than Canadian. Only until we moved to Toronto when I was five years of age did I begin to learn English and become exposed to ‘Canadian’ foods such as pizza, spaghetti, tacos, curry and sushi.

At an early 1970 air show at CFB Trenton there was a Ukrainian Air Force aerobatic team. The yellow and blue colours on their MiG-27 aircraft and the sound of distantly familiar Ukrainian being spoken by the pilots stirred something deep within me. I was reminded that Ukrainian was hard-wired in my DNA. I sometimes attend a bilingual mass at Ottawa’s Ukrainian Catholic church. The ceremony is heavy with unfamiliar ritual, yet I feel comfortable with it.

Once again, war has come to Ukraine.

These days, even if your family name is MacDonald, Smith, Van Den Oetelaar or

IN THE DISTANCE – Seeing this beautiful Ukrainian church on the far horizon, something within my roots was stirred. My cultural past is buried, but alive. It nourishes my present. (Photo by Nick Wolochatiuk)

Latreille, your attention and sympathies are directed toward the plight of Ukraine. Most of the civilized world is attempting to do something for that country and its citizens.

The brutal foray that Putin has unleashed is not only raining violence and destruction upon Ukraine, but economic harm is beginning to be imposed upon the entire world.

May Russia’s decadent oligarchs be relieved of their ill-gotten luxuries. May Putin’s military conscripts be freed of their immoral duties. May Putin get what he deserves. May the citizens of Russia one day have a government that serves them. One day, may I visit the land that is deep within me.

OPINION

Lafleur regular guy who happened to be a superstar Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

Guy Lafleur was a regular guy who just happened to be a hockey legend; a Hall of Fame National Hockey League career might have taken Guy of a small town but it didn’t take the small town out of Guy. Cornwall native Mike O’Connor (CCVS grad) who calls himself a retired “bucket list adventurer” discovered this first hand in a chance encounter with Lafleur in Cornwall at Marina 200 several years back.

O’Connor, retired president and CEO of Calgary-based O’Connor Associates, tied up at Marina 200 on the initial leg of a first-time trip east along the St. Lawrence to Montreal from Gananoque, where he keeps his sailing boat, the A Mi Manera.

The next morning a cruiser named the OCEAN’S 10 arrived at Marina 200 and by chance eased into the slip next to O’Connor. It was piloted by Lafleur who had travelled from Montreal with his wife, Lise.

The marina had become one of Lafleur’s ports of call along the St. Lawrence.

O’Connor who had never met Lafleur, but was well aware of the Thurso native’s immense footprint in the NHL, helped him tie up and soon he was engaged in conversation with his new “neighbour”.

Lafleur and his wife, Lise, accepted O’Connor’s invitation to join he and the “admiral”/partner – Jana Kristin - to pore over some river charts for the second leg of the journey.

Not only did The Flower provide some navigational tips, he suggested O’Connor put in to the Old Port of Montreal Marina, Lafleur’s home base, for a couple of days.

O’Connor wondered about securing a slip at the busy marina. No problem, said Lafleur. He placed a call to the marina to reserve a spot for “mes amis.”

En route to Montreal, they tagged along behind the OCEAN’S 10 to the Montreal marina where Lafleur was welcomed “home” by deckhands.

As O’Connor tied up, one of the young hands proudly announced that the slip had been reserved (for O’Connor) by Lafleur, the marina’s “signature client” and “the nicest captain in the marina.”

The Lafleurs insisted that O’Connor and Kristin join them for dinner at one of his favourite restaurants in Old Montreal, La Maree, where the staff greeted the familiar Lafleur as if he were royalty.

After a few “adult” beverages, a sumptuous meal and hours of conversation, the four walked back to their boats.

The guests couldn’t help but notice that despite the restaurant closing and the staff cleaning up, there was not rush to have the famous hockey player and his guests ushered out.

On the way back to the marina, O’Connor mentioned to Lafleur that sailing to Montreal and staying in the Old Port marina had been one of the items on his bucket list.

“I never imagined, however, just how big of an adventure it would turn out to be,” he told the hockey legend.

No doubt Lafleur’s death last week kindled fond memories of hanging out with an ordinary hockey legend. *********** In April 1957, an investigation carried out by the Ontario Provincial Police hit a brick wall in trying to find out where $5,000 in cash and cheques went after it was dropped off at the Pitt Street police station for safe keeping.

Richard Silmser, motor vehicles licence bureau operator, turned the money, in a large manila envelope, over to the front desk on a Friday night. Since his office did not have a safe, it was his practice to leave cash with the station.

However, when he showed up on Monday to retrieve the money, the envelope could not be found.

The investigation speculated that the envelope might have been inadvertently chucked out with trash. It was never found.

The local police commission absolved the force of any blame in the mysterious disappearance. However, that did not snuff out rumours in the community of it being an inside job.

Get a Grip!

Spring is a great time to check your clubs’ grips. Grips are your only connection to the club and should be in good condition and clean. Many times they just need a good scrubbing (bristle brush and soap suds will do the trick). If your grips are worn, look to replacing your grips with new ones. You’ll be amazed how this will bring your clubs to life!

How to show your appreciation for volunteers National Volunteer Week takes place this year from April 24 to 30. This annual campaign promotes volunteerism and celebrates the contributions of millions of Canadians who donate their time and energy to making their communities better places to live.

This year’s theme is Empathy in Action, which highlights how volunteering helps develop strong connections among people with diverse backgrounds and fosters genuine care toward others.

• Plan a social event. Consider bringing the volunteers in your organization together with a social event. You could host a movie night, put together a meal or throw a party. Social events help encourage your volunteers to connect with each other, the cause and the organization.

• Collect and share letters. Ask the people your organization serves to write letters of thanks explaining how your volunteers make a difference in their lives. Collect all the letters and share them with your volunteers.

The Adopt-a-Street program is celebrating its 7th anniversary!

If you would like to join our amazing team,

please contact Pauline Brown, Volunteer and Logistics Coordinator at volunteercoordinator@agapecentre.ca or 613-938-9297 ext 121.

We look forward to welcoming you aboard!

Volunteers are often mobilized by empathy, but their efforts are best sustained by demonstrations of appreciation. When volunteers feel recognized, they’re more likely to remain connected to your cause and continue to give back. Here are some ways your organization can say thank you to its volunteers.

• Create a video. Collect footage of your organization’s volunteers at work with a smartphone or other device. Then, string the clips together and incorporate some music into the mix. Once the video is edited, you can share it on social media or on your website.

A great big thank you to past and present volunteers for lending a hand and showing your civic pride!

National Volunteer Week 2022 Bereaved Families of Ontario puts call out for new volunteers

BY MARC BENOIT The Bereaved Families of Ontario for southeastern Ontario is looking to grow its community this year and has many volunteer opportunities available.

Since reopening in Cornwall in 2020, BFO has been working towards meeting the needs of families and individuals who are suffering from the loss of a loved one. It can be an incredibly isolated and challenging time in our lives, but that can be helped if you have a community to fall back on.

Through counselling and peer support programs, BFO has always strived to be there when people in our community are going through a harder time, and that’s always better when you have guidance from someone who knows what you’re going through.

Maureen Amistoso lost her husband in 2016 to cancer. She was expecting their second child at the time and was already had a four-year-old at home.

She wasn’t expecting to have to raise two kids on her own. Today she’s well on her way towards a social service worker diploma from St. Lawrence College and has dedicated most of her career towards caring for others. Her kids are happy, with her oldest almost in High School, she has an incre-

dible journey to reflect on and share.

“It was shocking to the family,” said Amistoso, remembering her own experience with loss. But, as she says, much more of her time and energy goes towards raising her children, who she adores, or her academic career.

Amistoso is incredibly organized, and finds the time to volunteer regularly with BFO, on top of raising two kids and going to school full time.

“It’s good to come out and tell people, yes there is death in our lives, but we have to accept that…In order to cope we need to talk it out and we need the community to support us.”

“We have a great community that will support them,” said Amistoso. “The death of a loved one is never going to go away; it becomes a matter of how we cope with it…This is an incredible struggle you can’t take on alone…there is a lot of help in the community you can call.”

Volunteering with BFO is a rewarding chance to help people in your own community struggling with what is often one of our biggest challenges in life.

For Stephen Doris, who has been involved with BFO since they began to operate in 2022 following a yearlong closure, volunteers are what makes this community function.

“If you volunteer with BFO you’ll be wanted, you’ll

be appreciated and you’re needed,” said Doris. “We need good working, honest volunteers that are willing to give us a good shot.”

LETTERTOTHE EDITOR: A tragedy within tragedy

workers: nurses, orderlies and doctors, but especially on personal support workers whose death and debilitating disease tolls were highest. They cared for the sick and became ill themselves. At first, the danger in their workplace was unseen and unexpected and later, as knowledge and understanding of the virus and its potency grew, those workers, now as vulnerable as their charges, were faced with shortages and sometimes rationing of protective equipment, and they kept going back to work, most often because there were no sick leave benefits for them.

The spokesperson for the ceremony of mourning is Natalie Mehra, Executive Director of the Ontario Health Coalition, and the general public is welcome to attend at 11:45 at the Workers’ Monument in Lamoureux park, in front of the Kinsmen Play Area.

It is time for solar in Cornwall

permitted to be part of the solution due to a business decision. Mind you the same situation is experienced by every other power distribution system around the province and country all of which are allowing for this green energy to be connected to your home power grid.

No one is asking the Cornwall Electric to pay for the solar systems or installations, just allow the system to be connected to the local low voltage neighbourhood grids through a net meter. At the time of this opinion paper April 2022 without provincial solar subsidy it would take over 10 years using “net-metering” to pay back the cost of a basic, professionally installed solar system. (Please note: many factors such as size of system and optional battery backup equipment will extend this payback period).

Also please note i am not a solar installer, but I am a resident of Cornwall who would like to consider a solar system.

In this era of lowering greenhouse Gas emissions, we might be the last area in southern Ontario that allows Solar Systems but that is better than being the only area that doesn’t.

Dear Editor, If you have looked into a Solar System in the area serviced by FORTIS Cornwall Electric you will have discovered that they do not allow Solar systems to be connected to the local Grid. We are basically the only area remaining in Sothern Ontario that does not allow the connection of clean renewable energy such as Solar or Wind. I understand someone has to be first and someone has to be last, but let’s not remain the only area in southern Ontario that does not allow clean renewable energy to be generated by homeowners in the fight to reduce carbon emissions just for the sake of profit.

Normally residential solar systems produce electricity when the sun shines. The home owner would be the first user of the solar energy and any unused excess power (240V) would be fed to the local low voltage power grid through a bidirectional power meter often called “Net metering”. (Meaning that the homeowner is charged the difference between what is used and exported to the Grid.) In most cases the homeowner is not permitted to produce more power than they will typically use in the run of a year.

When power is sent to the local low voltage neighborhood grid, it would be used by other folks in their neighborhood.

FORTIS Cornwall electric is an independent power supplier that buys power from Hydro Quebec ( not the local power dam) and even though Hydro Quebec has wonderful insensitive for the people of Quebec to install solar. Fortis Cornwall Electric has decided not to participate in reducing green house gases. Their response varies with 1) we are not allowed to back feed power to Quebec ( that would never happen, only a reduction of power drawn from the system) 2) business agreement, 3) loss of revenue.

The economic impact on Cornwall Electric is that for every kwh of energy produced by solar is one less kwh of power that is drawn from Quebec Hydro and effectively Cornwall Electric profit. The Federal Government just announced a huge carbon reduction emissions goal, it is a shame that we are not

Every April 28, since the National Day of Mourning for Workers Killed and Injured on the Job was established in 1985, the Cornwall & District Labour Council has hosted a memorial service at the Workers’ Monument in Lamoureux park. In the years since 1985, 25,000 workers have died of injury or work-related disease in Canada. The ceremony mourns those men and women who went to work and never came home, or if they did, it was with a serious and often debilitating injury, which often led to an early death or a lifetime of disability. The causal events of those 25,000 deaths were typically industrial, agricultural of construction, in workplaces where the dangers are well known and guarded against. But not in 20202021. During the pandemic, hospitals and care centres became the most dangerous of workplaces. The threat came silently and struck both vulnerable patients and residents and felled the caregivers themselves.

Accordingly, this year, on April 28, the focus at the monument in Cornwall is on medical

As a Real Estate Broker, I am asked this question all the time!

Let us look at a few factors that can help you make your decision.

TIME OF YEAR: Traditionally speaking, most experts believe that the best time to purchase a property is during the fall, especially in August because this provides you with an expansive inventory plus lower prices than springtime.

Since COVID, throw that theory out the window!

MORTGAGE RATES: Economists forecast that mortgage rates will go up this year, after hovering at historically low levels in 2021; they are trickling up already in 2022…although that is not what you want to hear as a buyer however, it is important to keep rising rates in perspective.

Most forecasters predict the average fixed rate to stay around +- 4% in 2022. In the last five years, the average peaked at almost 5% in 2018; do not forget the average rate peaked at over 18% in the fall of 1981 :)

DEMAND: Demand for homes is high, but inventory is low, making this a seller’s market across the country. A seller’s market happens when there are more prospective buyers than homes for sale. The stiff competition for homes means fewer choices, higher prices and quicker sales with fewer conditions!

CREDIT: Lenders generally offer the best mortgage rates and terms to borrowers with credit scores of 740 and above, although you can qualify for a mortgage with a score in the 600s. If you do not know your score, do yourself a favor, go to EQUIFAX.CA and find out it will be the best $25.00 you spend.

SAVINGS: You will need money for a down payment and mortgage closing costs and for moving and other expenses after you buy. The down payment requirements vary by the type of mortgage and the lender. The more you put down, the lower your payment. Currently 5% is the minimum for a single family home that will be your principal residence.

MY 2 CENTS: If you are wondering whether it is a good time to buy a house, ask this instead. Is it a good time in my life to buy a house?

The best approach to deciding when to buy a home is to do so when you can afford it. Do not attempt to time mortgage rates and home values, market conditions etc. as they are almost impossible to predict.

The old adage, “without your health you have nothing”, requires that we continue to get access to high-quality water.

The Ontario Government is fulfilling that need by investing nearly $6.4 million into several water treatment and storage projects in the Counties and Cornwall. It is part of 144 initiatives in the province receiving partnership investments from the federal government and municipalities as well.

Moving people, food and merchandise safely and efficiently will continue to be top priority.

It is why the Government has passed new legislation, Bill 100, Keeping Ontario Open for Business, and has released a new transportation blueprint, Connecting the East: A Draft Transportation Plan for Eastern Ontario.

Bill 100 will help to provide law enforcement the tools to ensure crucial transportation

corridors remain open in the case of public demonstrations.

The Connecting the East plan is a key to unlocking our region’s potential by improving busing, building more truck stops and establishing a marine strategy. The plan is a living document which will continue to evolve. The City of Cornwall also took another important step enhancing its transportation system.

The province’s Connecting Links program is investing $274,752 for an environmental assessment on a portion of Brookdale Avenue.

We have seen the positive impact that non-profit organizations have on communities, especially during challenging times such as the pandemic.

I am happy to announce the Resilient Communities Fund provided $609,500 to seven organizations recently so they may continue to enhance residents’ quality of life.

Our region took another step as part of the province’s commitment to deliver 50 Mbps internet connectivity.

Fibre optics is expanding into the Glendale area, thanks to a province-wide investment of $1.2 billion, equally provided by both levels of government.

Cornwall Road Warriors —new car club in town

A new local car club called Cornwall Road Warriors Car Club, has been started by Christopher Sauve (Club President).

Christopher has many years of experience visiting car shows all over the region. He enjoys any vehicle that someone has put their heart into and created with the style that they want. It’s a respect thing. Vehicles would be no fun if they were all built the same! The big thing is respecting someone’s build. Last year, he started doing meets with friends and newcomers, just going for cruise days down the highway and also doing photo shoots and meets on Friday nights in local parking lots in Cornwall.

During the winter someone suggested that they work together, form an Executive Board and start up a car club in Cornwall. The support has been unbelievable by friends and companies around the local area. Club members believe that they can all make this Car Club an awesome non-profit organization by helping the community and doing what car people like to do, hanging out together and talking cars!

ART 4 ALL IN THE MALL is a monthly event held on the main level of the mall in front of the Dollarama store put on by Your Arts Council Cornwall & the Counties where people can drop in and create art in various forms of expression. Cornwall Square is working on a soon to be activated program for local artists to exhibit their art in the display windows of vacant spaces.

In mid-November 2020 the Cornwall Square launched The Square Marketplace on the main level of the mall. This 6,000 square foot flexible exhibition facility started as a 25-booth artisan and crafters market for the

2020 Christmas Season in order to provide the local and area creative community members a venue to sell their hand made products under the pandemic regulations. The initial seasonal market generated interest within the vendor community during the 2021 year and by January 2022 several “Market” promoters leased the entire 25-booth facility to hold their events. In March 2022 facing increased demand from independent vendors and promoters with larger markets, Cornwall Square created 2 “Marketplace Annex” spaces to expand its Market booth capacity to 50 which enabled the mall to host the March Break Market and subsequently the Spring Market.

Stay tuned next week to find out how many panes of glass are in the main mall skylight.
