United Way/Centraide SDG to host AGM and launch discussion on poverty Those attending in-person are also invited to stay after the meeting and take a guided tour of the library to learn about how their new programs and tools are making the library more accessible to everyone in our community.

“Although this past year continued to bring so many challenges, our community members, our agencies, and other key stakeholders in the region rose to the occasion and really showed a passion for taking care of our community. The AGM will be a day of celebration for us, and for the community, as we are proud of what we’ve accomplished, and are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead.”

- said Juliette Labossière, UWC SDG Executive Director.

In addition, the AGM will feature the launch of a video that aims to prompt discussion around the realties of poverty right here in our own region. The 10-minute video created by Nicholas Seguin Creative features both community members telling their stories of living in poverty in SDG and agencies who work directly with this vulnerable population.

“If the United Way is to continue in its role of poverty reduction, it is important that we all have a common understanding of what poverty really looks like in our area.” – said Stephanie Lapointe, UWC SDG Campaign and Communications Coordinator.

a great collection of valuable paintings. He also had one son whom he loved dearly. This son took ill and died rather suddenly. The father in his deep grief ended up passing away not long after. The father’s will stipulated that all his artworks were to be sold at a public auction, and also that a painting of his son was to be auctioned first.

The day of the auction came with the painting of the son displayed prominently along with many others. Neither the son nor the artist who painted him were very well known, so they drew little attention and it was some time before an opening bid was offered. Finally, a long-time servant of the father and friend of the son offered a bid of a few dollars. No other bids were offered, so the old butler received that portrait of the son. People attending were anxious to get to the valuable masterpiece paintings.

But at that point the auctioneer stopped and read a special statement that ‘whoever cared enough for his son, to buy the painting of him, would actually receive all the rest of the paintings too.’ Actually, the rest of the man’s estate! This touching story illustrates God’s provision for mankind, that whoever loves and

enly riches, as it were. This is the ‘good news’ of the gospel. This is also the wonderful message of the Bible book of Romans which we are now beginning to study Sunday mornings at First Baptist, Cornwall.

And now for something a little different… how about some basketball?

What do the following names – RJ Barrett, Khem Birch, Chris Boucher, Cory Joseph, Mychal Mulder, Jamal Murray, Kelly Olynyk, Tristan Thompson and Andrew Wiggins have in common? They are all Canadians playing in the NBA. Basketball in Canada is BIG and growing! Responding to this tremendous growth, First Baptist, Cornwall wants to put its gym facilities to use and help develop basketball in our area. We plan to offer a weekly, free basketball clinic for youth this Fall under the guidance of a knowledgeable and skilled coaches.

The Clinic will be open all and all skill levels. Once we know the skill levels we can customize accordingly. If you are interested in registering or you just want more information, visit First Baptist’s website to pursue this matter.

Stop flushing your disposable contact lenses & recycle them Through the Bausch + Lomb Every Contact Counts Recycling Program, Residents of Cornwall can Dispose of Any Brand of Disposable Contacts & Blister Packs, Diverting them from Landfill CORNWALL – Eye doctors located in cities throughout Ontario are helping the planet and the local community by reducing waste and keeping otherwise non-recyclable disposable contact lenses and their packaging out of the landfill.

Through the Bausch + Lomb Every Contact Counts Recycling Program, consumers are invited to bring all brands of disposable contact lenses and their blister pack packaging to participating eye doctor locations to be recycled.

“Contact lenses are one of the forgotten waste streams that are often overlooked due to their size and how commonplace they are in today’s society,” said Tom Szaky, founder and CEO of TerraCycle. “Programs like the Bausch + Lomb Every Contact Counts

Recycling Program allows eye doctors to work within their community and take an active role in preserving the environment, beyond what their local municipal recycling programs are able to provide. By creating this recycling initiative, our aim was to provide an opportunity where whole communities are able to collect waste alongside a national network of public drop-off locations all with the unified goal to increase the number of recycled contact lenses and their associated packaging, thereby reducing their impact on landfills.”

Below is a list of local eye doctors participating in the program: • 8 on Second Optometry, 8 Second St E • Axxis Optical, 44 Pitt St

That’s why, this year, while still supporting the necessary work of its partner agencies, the organization has also addressed a few gaps of service and emerging needs with the creation of new programs and the development of new partnerships.

The papal to visit Canada On May 13, the Vatican officially announced that Pope Francis will travel to Canada from 24 to 29 July 2022 to meet with Indigenous Peoples of this land on a pilgrimage of healing, reconciliation, and hope.

With this announcement, the Vatican confirmed the Holy Father will make three stops during his visit to Canada: Edmonton, Québec, and Iqaluit. These locations were chosen to limit travel for the Pope given his health, while still allowing for both intimate and public gatherings with Indigenous Peoples from everywhere in the country.

Archbishop Marcel Damphousse of the Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall warmly welcomes the announcement of the Holy Father’s visit.

“I believe the Holy Father’s visit will do a lot of good for Indigenous Peoples as well as all the

faithful Catholics in Canada. Since his mission consists in pursuing a journey of healing and reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples of this country, Pope Francis will be able to provide a momentum of hope,” said the Archbishop.

The complete itinerary for the visit will be shared a bit later to prepare the program in close cooperation with Indigenous partners at the local and national levels. During his journey, the Pope is expected to visit a site of a former residential school as well as other locations having particular significance.

The Cline House Gallery’s first exhibit, Vantage Points, is set to open on Thursday, May 19 at 7 pm.

Vantage Points features the work of six talented artists who apply varying methods and imaginative processes for perceiving, interpreting, and translating the reality of nature into the language of art.

“Through their unique expression of line, colour, form and pattern, each artist invites us to escape into the natural world, calling us to explore the idea of what landscape represents and how we observe the magic in the space around us,” said Emily MacLeod, Visual Arts Coordinator with the City of Cornwall.

Vantage Points will be at the Cline House Gallery from May 19 to July 2, 2022. Visiting the gallery is free and parking is available.

Workshops: The Cline House’s first workshop is planned for May 28. Workshops typically are 3-4 hours in duration and participants are provided with all of the materials necessary to complete the project: Open Studio: In addition to the workshops, the Cline House will also be offering local artists the chance to book an easel in the Open Studio sessions. Artists bring their own materials and work at their own pace on their own projects. Open Studio sessions are booked in 3 hour blocks, starting May 26.

Sad state of affairs at VIA Rail SEAWAY NEWS We got word last week that some local political heavyweights have begun to exercise a little pressure on our good friends from VIA Rail.

Mayor Glen Grant, MP Eric Duncan and Senator Bernadette Clement travelled to Montreal to meet with VIA CEO Cynthia Garneau to express concerns with the sad state of affairs at the Cornwall train station.

The meeting at VIA headquarters was an opportunity for the local leaders to raise several concerns about service levels and a lack of capital investment at the city’s station, located near the intersection of Pitt and Balmoral Streets.

This follows a tense city council meeting nearly 12 months ago when a VIA Rail delegation chatted with our councillors about the Cornwall service…or lack thereof.

Sadly, the Cornwall train station has been grappling with a steady decline for years.

Twelve, in fact. There hasn’t been any “meaningful” investment in the station since the heady days of 2010, according to a city media release. And let’s be honest, the station wasn’t in that great of shape back then, either.

Numerous other stations in Ontario have received millions of dollars in funding for modernization and enhancements. But not us.

We don’t even have VIA employees staffing our station. Just down the line passengers have no trouble approaching VIA employees at the station with questions or concerns.

We’ll bet you a shiny Canadian nickel if VIA had its way, the Cornwall station would be closed all together. It sure looks that way, given how much attention has been paid to this station.

Correct us if you’ve heard this before (see our editorial two weeks ago) but is there a big fat smudge on the map of Canada where Cornwall is supposed to be? The fat cats in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal always seem to forget about us.

In this particular case (two weeks ago it was the tragedy that is Highway 138) we’re sitting right smack dab on the biggest rail link in the country. The Quebec City-Windsor corridor has the heaviest passenger train frequency in Canada and contributes to 67% of VIA’s revenue. Yet we continue to get the shaft. VIA should be ashamed of its infrastructure in Cornwall. A Toronto subway

station at 2 a.m. on a Tuesday morning has more character (and is probably cleaner) than our pitiful station.

The good news is that the 2022 federal budget proposes $42.8 million over four years to construct, maintain, and upgrade stations and maintenance centres in the Windsor to Quebec City corridor. Duncan, Clement and Grant have committed to pressuring the federal government and VIA to commit funds to the Cornwall station.

They better.

Last week’s meeting was an opportunity to raise several concerns regarding the Cornwall

VIA station including the lack of capital investments and modernizations in the station’s building, a desire for improved scheduling times, and an offer to partner together with City and regional officials to better promote and grow ridership at the Cornwall station. The meeting was deemed constructive and according to the city was an opportunity to ‘reset’ VIA’s relationship with local leaders after years of declining communication and partnerships.

Fair enough. There are new leaders who call Cornwall home, including a senator.

It’s time for us to get our due.

These are four of my fellow travellers Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

They are Dean Nicholson, Steve Wallis, Rick Steves and Gary Bembridge. We have some things in common and some quite different. Just in case you’ve never met them, let me introduce each of them.

I’ll start with Dean Nicholson. Dean was born in Dunbar, Scotland in 1992. That makes him 52 years younger than me. We both travel by bicycle. His companion is Nala, a stray kitten he adopted near the border of Bosnia. From 1998 until 2010 I travelled with Keesha, my American Eskimo miniature.

Dean’s photography is remarkable, but the need to backtrack to retrieve his camera after each sequence effectively doubles the distance he pedals.

Both of us have spent our travelling nights just about anywhere: park benches, picnic shelters, abandoned factories and roadside rest areas. I’ve also slept in a parked Sikorsky S-55 helicopter, on a trampoline and in a canoe floating in a jungle-like river with no

place to land.

Steve Wallis, Dean and I have a lot in common, especially ‘boondocking’ - overnighting just about anywhere except formal campsites. Steve started boondocking by necessity during his early days on Vancouver Island.

It’s now his YouTube schtick. Unlike him, I’ve never slept in a culvert, on a traffic rotary or in the median of a busy highway, or under a shower curtain.

Cultured traveller Rick Steves is quite unlike Dean and Steve. He’s a genteel tourist.

He sips fine wines, has Epicurean culinary tastes and frequents Michelin five-star establishments. (Dean, Steve and I are known to cook our dinner in a can over a fire of wood scraps and lick our fingers instead of using a serviette) His mode of transportation tends to be gondola, tour bus, tuk-tuk or first-class railcar. Like Rick, I too have been known to sample the finer things of life, but on board a cruise ship.

Steves spends four months every year in Europe. I’ve been in Europe only seven times.

My longest overseas stay was 13 months.

Books about what Steves knows about fine art, history and European culture could fill the wall of a library. Books about what I don’t know about those topics would take up the

same amount of shelf space.

Finally, something about Gary Bembridge.

His feet are usually on the deck of a cruise ship. Accompanied shore excursions aren’t his thing. He rubs shoulders with the ship’s galley crew, bridge and specialty dining areas; he knows the best and worst shipboard accommodations and what travel seasons to avoid.

Unlike Dean and Steve, he sometimes has dedicated photographers and file footage to cover his shipboard experiences. He’s been on a cruise every month for 20 years = 240

consecutive months. He’s obviously way ahead of me on the number of cruises. I’ve only been on four, plus a trip from Genoa to Boston on a Yugoslavian freighter. However, I top him in one field: I’ve had a flight in some sort of aircraft for 294 consecutive months.

Alas, that series came to an end in November 2019. I’d have to live to age 106 to get to an unbroken series of 295, starting again from zero.

I‘ll be writing more about off-beat travels and travellers in future columns.

OPINION

Taxes on taxes help fuel our pump pain Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@ CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

Oil companies (aka Big Oil), and their shareholders, aren’t the only ones reaping huge profits from our pain at the pumps, or as it is now called, “Sticker shock”.

Federal and provincial governments are in on the windfall. The higher the price, the bigger the take.

There are four taxes in play – federal excise tax, federal carbon tax, provincial gas tax and the harmonized sales tax (HST) - for each litre of gasoline poured into a tank. To add insult to injury, the HST is last to pile on and makes it a tax on taxes. It all comes to about 54 cents a litre, which is a lot more than the station owner makes who also plays the role of tax collector.

The Ford government plans to shave some of the provincial tax on July 1.

However, if Ford and Co. are defeated on June 2, expect that to be rescinded. And, don’t be surprised if plate sticker fees are brought back. * Well, it was nice while it lasted.

On Friday, it was reported by gas price prognosticator Dan McTeague that Cornwall at $1.92 a litre had the cheapest pump price in the province. (Talk about a tourist draw).

Hard to believe that $1.92 is being called cheapest. Two years ago, in the throes of the pandemic, the price had dropped to 89.9 cents a litre. Problem was with lockdowns we had no where to go.

On Monday, that all changed with a 15-cent spiked at most pumps in the city. * At one city gas station the price posted on the huge outdoor sign said $1.92.9. By

the time a driver pulled in at got to the pump, it had jumped to $2.07.9. * McTeague, a former Liberal MP, has become a better forecaster than the folks on the weather network. He is usually bang on. * Meanwhile, the catapulting pump prices – call it death by a thousand cuts – are opening the door to some comic relief.

Examples found on social media: 1) Health officials are recommending a face mask over your eyes while filling up to prevent a heart attack. 2) This summer it might be cheaper to mail your car rather than drive it to the cottage. 3) Prices are getting higher than rapper Snoop Dog. 4) Somebody recalled that “back-in-the-day” $5 took you along way and wondered how far it would go today. The answer: About 60 feet. * Next energy crisis lurking around the corner: cost of heating with natural gas next winter.

HERE AND THERE St. Francis de Sales pastor Msgr. Kevin Maloney has marked 50 years (and counting) in the priesthood.

(When he was ordained gas was sold by the gallon for 35 cents and Zappia’s Restaurant on Brookdale Avenue pizza era had just ended). . ... Note to the guys and gals who decide camera shots during NHL playoff games: Please, no more close-up shots of a player spitting while sitting on the bench?

THIS MONTH IN 1953 – A high school army cadet rally on May 15, 1953 at the Athletic Grounds with 1,700 cadets drawn from Cornwall Collegiate and nine district schools was filmed by CBM-TV Montreal and shown two days later. With only about 20% of local households equipped with a television, most of the city residents didn’t get to see the production. ... Meanwhile, Davart Productions was shooting a madefor-TV documentar y at the St. Regis

Convicted of cattle theft, an area farmer was given a 15-month jail sentence. Magistration P. C. Bergeron said he leaned toward a suspended sentence but in the wake of a rash of cattle theft in the region, he needed to send a strong message. ... The local branch of the SPCA sounded the alarm after 20 cats and 11 dogs were poisoned over a four-week period. ... Two young members of the Canadian Army were give six-month suspended sentences and turned over the the military after pleading guilty to stealing two tires from Gilliard’s Garage in Aultsville. ...

Rather than pay the $10 fine after he was convicted of being intoxicated in a public place, a city man took the offer of 10 days in the Water Street slammer for non-payment.

From the May 1953 sports pages Cornwall Collegiate sprinter John Sloan broke two junior records – the 100 yards

and 220 yards - at the EOSSA track and field championships at Lansdowne in Ottawa. The 100 record had been set in 1933 by CCVS runner Len Stidwill. Gord Hickey was first in the senior 100 and 220 sprints. ... Hogansburg opened the Eastern Ontario Senior Lacrosse League season with an 11-4 romp over Cornwall. Pete Burns and Ron Roundpoint each had two goals, while Gabe Wheeler scored two for Cornwall. ... Bert Irwin of the Cornwall Aces Motorcycle Club was the top rider at an international meet on the old army training centre field. Jerry Lefebvre of Cornwall was second in the junior class.

TRIVIA In April 1974 Cornwall annexed 60 acres of a neighbouring municipality for this new industry expected to create several hundred jobs.

TRIVIA ANSWER Broadcaster Peter Mansbridge joined the navy after he quit high school (Glebe Collegiate in Ottawa) and later became a ticket agent at the Transaire airline terminal in Churchill, Man. He got his big break in 1968 when a CBC station manager waiting for a flight heard Mansbridge announce the next flight on the public address system. The manager knew right away it was a voice meant for the airwaves. He offered him a job at the tiny Northern CBC Radio service station in Churchill. And, as they, the rest is history.

As part of Culture and the Arts priority, we are pleased today to announce a donations to the SD&G Historical Society in the amount of $ 2,377.55 to assist in the operation of this valuable service.

These funds will be used to enhance the usage and protection of the SD & G Historical Society Collection. Specifically, by purchasing magnifying LED lamps in the research centre because it does not create heat that is damaging – while at the same time helping clients be able to read old and faded documents. It will also limit the handling of documents with hands thus avoiding soiling or damage.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Water Meters Dear Editor, At this point it is probably a foregone conclusion that water meters will be set up in Cornwall homes in the near future.

One really wonders of city councils decision on this. Was it done with thought that Federal and provincial funds will soften the blow? Were long term costs considered for the tax paying water consumer?

Presently Cornwall sets out taxes to cover water and sewer costs. Taxes increase by percentage yearly. Now council figures that water meters will even out costs to those that use more or less. The city of Ottawa thought that at one time also. There was a city that set out a meter program and figured water meter rates and revenues would cover the costs. Didn’t work out!!!

People can be very frugal in water usage and over time, cost escalation through more bureaucracy; with more dept. areas and staff eventually offset what was being charged for metering. So in the last couple of years, Ottawa citizens have to pay water meter costs but on top of that, a flat fee tax was added as well.

Really folks, are we going to be any further ahead? Water conservation can be touted but basically; more infrastructure and bureaucracy, more costs. Count on it!!

Ontario Election—long term care Dear Editor: When will someone address the sheer lack of PSWs and RNs who want to work in Long Term Care (LTC) in the EOHU area and across the province.

The government can mandate hours of care etc. etc. but how will there be enough Registered Nurses and Registered Practical Nurses (RNs) and (RPNs), Personal Support Workers (PSWs) to fulfill these promises, Doug Ford(and I normally vote Conservative).

The government can ‘throw’ money at this

issue all day every day. Money alone will not fix this issue.

It might help; but it will not correct the staff shortages or willingness of people who truly feel called to work in LTC. COVID has caused much burnout in all these professions. Certainly their need is much more apparent. Their status is elevated; their incomes increased; yet still it is not enough to cover.

Potential Solutions: Free education would help for nursing… but agencies just throw

more money at the staff and workplaces have to pay more for the same people.

Is immigration a solution?

Abandon Bill 124 (https://www.ona.org/ about-bill-124/) IF your parents are part of the SILENT GENERATION; they deserve more—much more.

IF you are a baby-boomer this WILL be an issue for you soon.

Janie Elizabeth MacAskill, Winchester, ON

What an excellent opinion column What an excellent opinion column “Can someone get Doug a map” Seaway News 4th May 2022. I would add, has anyone noticed how weather forecasts, etc., on CBC and other stations, give information on Eastern Ontario where the province in the east appears to stop at Smiths Falls or Brockville?

No amount of chivying, when it is undertaken by a single member of the public, will bring change. Where are our elected municipal politicians, must they spend all their time seeking election rather than considering the needs of the Three United Counties citizens and foreign tourists?

Returning to the excellent column and the matter of Highway 138. It matters not what is undertaken to modify the road – modifications always tend to be far more costly than creating an alternative. Long ago, when

Mark McDonald was the Liberal candidate for SD&SG, he clearly recognized the inherent dangers of Highway 138; he saw a need to address the problem head-on and asked me to design an alternative. History will show a Conservative was chosen rather than Mark so the dream of a solution for a major local disaster area was not even considered.

However, I did as requested and created a design for an arterial 4 lane highway going from the end of Moulinette Road, Long Sault, to Embrun at the junction with Highway 417.

This would have linked two major 400-series highways with a new 400-highway. A logical move! Such a highway would allow visitors from the United States, citizens living in Cornwall and other SD&SG localities to travel along Highway 401 to the new highway.

This would then link them to Highway 417 to Ottawa or Highway 43 to Winchester - to the Winchester District Memorial Hospital that serves many local citizens.

Now is the time when many farmers along the desired route might be ready to sell their land at reasonable prices but, typically, that is not something to be considered because, if such a project is undertaken it will be taxpayer’s dollars at work and there is seemingly an abundance, so cost savings are unimportant. Perhaps, if we were to elect another Liberal candidate, we might begin to get some results as we did in the days when we had Jim Brownell and John Cleary representing us!

Volunteer Firefighter Recruitment & Retention Award Chief Cameron Morehouse and the South Dundas Fire & Emergency Services were honoured at the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs Conference and Trade Show on May 5, 2022.

On behalf of the SDFES, Chief Morehouse accepted the 2022 VFIS (Volunteer Firemen’s Insurance Services) Volunteer Firefighter Recruitment & Retention Award.

The award recognizes recruitment and retention programs/strategies that work to recruit and retain volunteers so emergency services have full compliments in order to respond effectively to calls. SDFES’ win comes after the wildly successful Firefighter for a Day event held in the summer of 2021.

“This award is a great honour for our department. Everyone involved put a lot into the event and made it a success, and we’re excited to bring it back in the future,” said Chief Morehouse. “But really it all comes down each of our firefighters in the department. Their commitment to this community and the job is inspiring. I’m very proud to be the Chief of this department.”

“This award for Chief Morehouse and the South Dundas Fire & Emergency Services is well deserved. Our firefighters do a lot for the

The United Counties of SDG has begun a process that will lead to the reconstruction of County Road 22, near Maxville.

Following a competitive process, Counties Council agreed to hire a private engineering firm to complete design work for the reconstruction project, which focuses on County Road 22 between Highway 138 and Roxborough Kenyon Boundary Road. The intent of this work is to prepare ‘tender ready’ documents for potential construction in 2023 subject to Council budget approval.

County Road 22 provides an east-west arterial road paralleling the Kings Highway 417 across the north end of the Counties. County Road 22 is considered an arterial link between Maxville and Highway 138. The annual average daily traffic is approximately 1,300 vehicles per day.

County Road 22 is not designed as a

full-load road (i.e. spring load restrictions are implemented). The current cross-section is a two-lane rural road. The condition of the asphalt is poor, and the granular shoulders are extremely narrow. The speed limit is 80 km/hr.

County Road 22 has been considered a “Now Need” road in SDG’s recent road needs study.

In recent years, Township of North Stormont residents have been concerned with ride quality and vehicular safety, given that the level of deterioration of the road has led to a bumpy and uneven ride, rutting and severe edge loss.

County Council has since identified this road as a priority project for SDG and directed staff to complete the necessary work to bring the road up to an appropriate standard.

Staff will consult with the Township of North Stormont as the design progresses as the work site will impact traffic movement between Maxville and Highway 138.

Enjoy an early taste of the Games

After three long years, everyone is eagerly waiting for this year’s edition of the Glengarry Highland Games on July 29 & 30th. For those who can’t wait that long, there will be an opportunity to have a little taste of all things Scottish on May 21 and 22 as part of Cornwall’s 1784 Celebration. Along with many of the heritage groups from throughout SDG, the Games will be presenting displays of its traditional events along with an exciting mini-Tattoo on the Saturday evening.

Starting Saturday morning, May 21st and continuing through to Sunday afternoon, join the Games at Lamoureux Park to enjoy fiddling, gaelic, heavyweight, and broadsword demonstrations. Highland dancers take to the stage Saturday morning to show off their talents while fiddler Ashley MacLeod and family will be a highlight both days. Sunday morning will see a demonstration of the steel broadsword and the single stick, a popular attraction at the Games which this year will include young people as well as adults.

Pictured is Chief Cameron Morehouse with Harpists will entertain and tell a bit about the story of this ancient instrument. It’s a great the award. opportunity also to learn more about the people of South Dundas and it is great to see Games history and the Scottish clans, and for them recognized for their efforts,” said Mayor those looking for some Games gear, souvenSteven Byvelds. irs will be sold on Saturday at the Games

booth.

Saturday evening at 6:30pm, the Taste of the Games Tattoo begins with the Glengarry Pipe Band, the SDG Highlanders Pipe Band, and the Quigley Highlanders Pipes and Drums taking to the field and the sounds of pipe bands will finally be heard again in SD&G. Next up will be the renowned MacCulloch Dancers performing their routines that they have showcased around the world. Then the entertainment starts on stage with the young MacLeod Fiddlers filling the night air with their lively tunes. A real treat is in store for everyone when Denis Carr and Rob Taylor of the Brigadoons play their most requested Glengarry tunes. For Games fans it will be a memorable show when these two veterans band members come together with a sound that reminds us of so many good times at the Games.

vey from the employment-oriented social media service LinkedIn found that the number one reason people switched jobs was related to opportunities for career advancement. When looking for a new career, look for one that provides opportunities for advancement after you get your foot in the door.

Working professionals who have resolved to make a career change but don’t know where to begin can facilitate the process by determining what they want out of their next career. Knowing what to look for in a career can help people land a job they will enjoy, and might even prevent them from changing jobs as many as a dozen times before retirement.

buildings, including the Star Inn built in Dunvegan in the 1840s, as well as a freshly painted one-room schoolhouse, and so much more. They will see authentic artifacts over 150 years old, as well as new seasonal exhibits – one on the 60th anniversary of the museum and the second showcasing the extensive dairy industry of days long past.

In addition, the museum’s gardening group has planned a modest plant sale for Saturday, May 21. Various plants from the heritage garden and other perennial favorites were in need of dividing and voila, a plant sale was created! All proceeds from the sale will go back into the museum gardens.

Come to the museum this weekend to buy some plants and explore the culture and heritage of this area!

If you’ve never been to the museum in Dunvegan before, it’s located at the intersection of County Roads 24 and 30. For more details, contact Jennifer Black at 613527-5230 or visit our web site: GlengarryPioneerMuseum.ca.

What is eligible to be included in my yard sale or giveaway?

On the Trash to Treasure giveaway day, please do not set out mattresses, hazardous waste, or food.

What other rules should I be aware of?

If you have items remaining at the end of the community yard sale or giveaway day, please bring them back inside by 7 p.m. Dumping waste is prohibited. Please donate gently used items to a thrift store, or bring trash to the landfill at 2590 Cornwall Centre Road.

To sign up, simply visit: https://bit. ly/3L1BHfP A yardsale map and a giveaway map will be shared on the City’s social media sites and on this page in the coming weeks.

This year is the 60th anniversary of the start of the Glengarry Pioneer Museum.

There is no fancy celebration planned, but the museum is happy to be opening on schedule this coming long weekend – May 21-23rd from 10am until 4pm daily. After two years of limited, interrupted access, the 2022 season is looking completely ‘normal’ for museums such as the one in Dunvegan and anticipates an influx of visitors ready to get out in full force.

Several events are being planned for the summer and fall, such as the Smith-In Blacksmith weekend, Stitch In Time textile day, Music Under the Stars, an art show by the Glengarry Artists’ Collective, a new Honey Fair, and the popular Harvest Fall Festival and 1812 Living History weekend in September. The museum will also be going out on location to local fairs and even welcoming school class trips back to the site. There is guaranteed to be lots to do for those who want to explore the area this summer.

Sexual violence prevention month

IN THE KNOW WITH SASS DEVIN COUCHMAN

In Ontario, May is Sexual Violence Prevention Month. In 2021, Jill Dunlop, Associate Minister of Children and Women’s Issues said the following of the significance of this month: “It is an opportunity to raise

awareness about the devastating impact of this crime, to better understand its deep cultural and historical roots, to support victims and survivors and to work together to stop the violence”.

This year, the Ontario Coalition of Rape Crisis Centres (OCRCC) designated the theme as “Survivors First”. This means that services are keeping survivor’s interests top of mind and ensuring that we are providing the best care possible to all survivors of sexual violence.

When it comes to preventing sexual violence, you may be wondering what you can do to help. There are a few very easy and important steps that you can take to help

survivors and educate yourself and/or others to prevent sexual violence from happening. In terms of helping survivors, the best thing you can do is not be dismissive when someone discloses that they’ve survived sexual violence. It’s all too easy to start asking questions like “what were you wearing” or other questions that place the blame on the survivor over the perpetrator.

It’s important to let survivors know that you believe them and support them and validate their feelings. Ask the survivor how they want to be supported. Do they just want someone to listen to them? Or do they want help moving forward (whether that be through going to police, or receiving counselling ser-

L’HCC célèbre la Semaine nationale des soins infirmiers

SEAWAY ÉVÉNEMENTS COMMUNAUTAIRES

Le personnel infirmier de l’Unité de chirurgie de l’HCC célèbre la Semaine nationale des soins infirmiers de 2022. De gauche à droite : Linda Gravel (chef de direction des soins infirmiers), Amberly Coulter (IAA), Allie Meldrum (IAA), Mark Lavallée-Demers (IA), Kelsey Lauzon (IA), Nicole McCabe (IAA) et Jannick Langlais (gestionnaire clinique, médecine subaiguë et services paramédicaux). l’établissement exercera, collaborera, communiquera et se perfectionnera sur le plan professionnel afin de fournir des soins de la plus haute qualité, conformément à la mission et aux valeurs de notre organisation. « En élaborant le MPP, nous avons entendu les équipes de soins infirmiers nous dire que certaines valeurs guident leur exercice et incarnent qui elles sont en tant que professionnelles, explique la vice-présidente des Services aux patients et directrice des soins infirmiers, Linda Gravel. Plus précisément, elles priorisent les patients, autonomisent leur pratique, font preuve

de bienveillance, valorisent les relations et collaborent en équipe, soit les cinq volets de notre MPP. Nous sommes persuadés que nos équipes et nos patients à l’HCC tireront profit de cette orientation solide et bienveillante offerte par l’entremise du MPP. » Cette semaine, veuillez vous joindre à l’HCC afin de remercier le personnel infirmier local de ses soins désintéressés, de sa compassion, de ses sacrifices et de son dévouement.

La Semaine nationale des soins infirmiers a lieu du 9 au 15 mai 2022. Le thème de cette année (#Nousrépondonsàl’appel) a été conçu par l’Association des infirmières et infirmiers du Canada afin de mettre en relief les nombreux rôles de ces professionnelles et professionnels dans le parcours de soins des patientes et des patients. La pandémie a mis en lumière le courage et la détermination dont ces personnes font preuve chaque jour et elle a démontré leur rôle important dans la communauté.

Il y a presque 600 membres du personnel infirmier à l’HCC qui travaillent dans divers services. Qu’il s’agisse des soins d’urgence, des soins aux patients en phase critique, des services de santé mentale et de lutte contre les dépendances ou des accouchements, notre personnel infirmier se dévoue pour sauver des vies et fournir des soins exceptionnels et de compassion à nos patientes et à nos patients. « Cette année, nos équipes de soins infirmiers ont collaboré et redoublé d’efforts pour répondre à l’appel comme jamais auparavant, dit la présidente et directrice générale de l’HCC, Jeanette Despatie. En raison de la vague Omicron de COVID-19, à l’HCC, les volumes de patients et l’absentéisme du personnel ont atteint des niveaux sans précédent. Devant l’adversité, nos infirmières ont conjugué leurs efforts afin de se soutenir mutuellement et garantir que nos patients continuent d’obtenir des soins exceptionnels. Les mots ne peuvent exprimer toute ma gratitude pour leur courage, leur détermination et leur dévouement. » De plus, cette semaine, après des mois de participation du personnel infirmier, l’HCC présente son nouveau modèle de pratique professionnelle (MPP). Il s’agit d’un outil qui définit la façon dont le personnel infirmier de
