& Follon, and Board Chair of our Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation. “I would encourage anyone who is creating or updating their estate plan to speak to their lawyer about the possibility of leaving a legacy gift to a local charity. Gifts of this nature are guaranteed to live on long after you have passed, and are vitally important to the longevity of our local charitable organizations.” Planned giving offers tax benefits, too. When a charitable organization is written into your will, there is no cost to you during your lifetime. A tax receipt will be issued to your estate for 100% of the charitable gift, resulting in a tax credit on your estate’s final income tax return. Instead of diminishing what is left for your loved ones, a charitable gift can reduce funds that would otherwise be sent to the Canada Revenue Agency. Planned gifts from wills or estates help CCHF with the future purchase of urgently needed medical equipment to serve patients across our hospital. To learn more about planned giving, please contact me at amy. gillespie@cornwallhospital.ca.

passed away on April 18, 2021, following the death of his beloved Fernande in 2019. To date, Mr. and Mrs. Cloutier’s exceptional donation represents the largest single gift from a planned estate benefitting Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation. Eugene and Fernande’s kindness will live on at CCH, helping to fund urgently needed medical equipment. Thanks to their support, local patients across our hospital will continue to receive exceptional care. Eugene and Fernande’s family hopes their generosity will inspire others to consider the benefits of planned giving, supporting local healthcare at our hospital for generations to come. What does planned giving mean? Planned giving isn’t a term the average person uses every day, but this type of donation can be incredibly meaningful for charities, donors, and the families of those who pass away. While some individuals prepare for charitable donations to be made during their lifetime, others plan to leave charitable gifts behind when they write their will. Working with a lawyer or financial planner, a donor may consider which charities are meaningful to them, and how a charitable gift in their will might leave a positive, lasting effect on their community. “Planned giving is among the most altruistic of acts – imagine: leaving a gift to a charity that benefits others in the community, simply as an act of caring and good will, with no tangible benefit to yourself,” says Stephanie Nesbitt, lawyer at Adams, Sherwood, Swabey

TAKE 5: GETTING TO KNOW
KIRSTEN GARDNER Stormont Dundas, South Glengarry Liberal Candidate
WHO ARE YOU? I’m your neighbour. I’m also a wife, a mother of two, a community builder, a volunteer, a Morrisburg resident, and the current Deputy Mayor of South Dundas.
How many of us travelled the highway to a concert,event or vacation. One real class act. It is with profound sadness we write this post today. On Wednesday May 25th, 2022 Thomas McNish, known to most of us as just Tom, passed away. Tom has been the master at the wheel driving hundreds of tours with Jolly Tours in a period spanning over 30 years. Always there to help out, and just an extended member of the Jolly Tours team. We have valued and appreciated all the years, tours, and memories we have had with Tom. He will be greatly missed by the Jolly Tours family. The photo in this post was a very important and special day. It was taken on July 28, 2018. It was the very last tour, and very last run for us, and Tom with our “Delaney” motorcoach before it was dropped for the last time at the yard. We extend our heartfelt sadness and condolences to Tom’s family and friends. https://memorials.wilsonfuneralhome.ca/thomas-mcnish/4936851/index.php
WHY ARE YOU RUNNING? We need someone who can stand strong and represent SDSG. After so many years of being overlooked and underserved, our riding deserves better. WHAT EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE? I’ve held management positions at the municipal, provincial, and federal level. I come with a track record of representing the interest of the people I serve. From sitting on two parent school councils, volunteering and working as a board member for Victim Services of SDG&A, serving on the board for the United Way, contributing to the SDG OPP Police Service Board, and so on, I’ve listened to what is needed in our communities and acted on solutions. I will do the same on your behalf when I’m at Queen’s Park. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH AS OUR MPP IN HEALTH CARE? I want to do right by our residents and work to address the lack of funding in provincial healthcare, from hospitals, to long term care, to nursing homes, and home care. The pandemic has truly highlighted the shortcoming of the system and we now have a roadmap of how to move forward and give compassionate and accessible care to those who need it—from our kids to our seniors. We need to invest in our healthcare workers at all levels because they need to know they are not only valued but also invaluable. WHAT ABOUT HIGHWAY 138? This important link to Ottawa should be on the government’s radar but it was missed when they announced plans for improvements to Eastern Ontario highways. I will advocate for improvements to Highway 138 so that it will be a safer commute for all. I will also advocate for proper enforcement on Highway 138 as a measure to reduce the risk of accidents and fatalities. WHAT ABOUT EDUCATION? This is something I’ve worked on for decades now. Education and training impacts everything from community growth to mental health to housing to business. We’ve seen how massive cuts and ineffective leadership have affected our communities. We have to invest in our schools again so that teachers and their ability to educate is uplifted, not squashed.
Here they are! The brand new SDG tourism ambassadors! From left are Adrianna Bertrand, Mikaela Coleman and Mikel Billard. The trio will be providing guided tours of the Historic SDG Jail. Stop in and say Hi!
Thank you, for everything.
WHO HAS INFLUENCED YOUR POLITICAL CAREER? Jim Brownell. He has been a mentor and a friend for many years. I have admired his political career, community advocacy, and integrity. To have his full endorsement and support means more than I can say. PARTING WORDS? Stormont, Dundas, South Glengarry deserves an experienced voice at Queen’s Park that will champion the issues that matter most to you and your family. Many have reminded me, this election is about equity. We deserve the same opportunities as other ridings. SDSG has been ignored for far too long. I’m ready to represent.

In appreciation of the caring employees at Chartwell McConnell Retirement Residence for everything that you do to deliver an exceptional experience for our residents. And a special shout-out to our sister home, Chartwell Chateau Cornwall, for the support that you have given us too.
WHAT ABOUT HOUSING? Affordable housing is a basic need so it’s crucial we make sure that our residents, our most vulnerable, have somewhere safe and affordable to live. We can do that by prioritizing people who have homes and those who need them—not developers or investors.
The difficult topic 3 MINUTES WITH THE MAYOR
GLEN GRANT CITY OF CORNWALL
Housing. It’s a difficult topic to tackle. Coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic and with the cost of living rising, housing options have become scarce and unaffordable. When I accepted the role of Mayor, it was clear that moving forward City Council’s priority of safe and affordable housing was a top priority. I’m proud to say that on May 24, 2022, with full endorsement from City Council, recommendations from the Mayor’s Task Force on Housing were adopted. Over 30 recommendations, created from a dedicated Task Force of
community members, were created to improve Cornwall’s range of housing options. Recommendations vary from promoting secondary units, to advocating for more funding, and increasing purpose-built housing. The full report can be found on the city website. But we can’t address housing alone. It will take all levels of government and the community to work together. It will take strong communication with the Landlord Tenant Board to protect the rights of tenants, while supporting the good landlords in the community. It will take each one of us to continue letting the world know what a great community Cornwall is to call home. It will take time but know that Council and staff are committed to moving the Mayor’s Task Force on Housing recommendations forward. In 6 months, City Council will receive a progress update and I look forward to sharing my remarks on that update with you in a future column.

Our social media-saturated world is often dominated by the touching and the tragic, the strange and the sad. Author Neil Postman wrote in his classic ‘Amusing Ourselves to Death’ how we are rarely given time to reflect and process an event presented before the next TV ‘story’ appears, requiring a fresh-new reaction. Twitter and Facebook nowadays provide our eyes with a never-ending stream of mind-numbing, reflection-suppressing content which may occasionally provide pieces worthy of your attention and reflection. But how often are you called upon to process some truly good news? We need ‘good-news’ stories to help reorient and recalibrate our perspectives and passions. Today’s marathon runners owe their event name to ‘news messengers’ from the ancient world who would run great distances to deliver updates, often about how a particular battle was going back home to the city. The city watchman in his watchtower would look out for the coming runner. Finally, he would see his dust trail in the distance. The watchman could also tell, by the way his legs were moving, whether the news was good or bad. If the runner was

Concert for the Crisis in Ukraine
Loneliness is something that affects everyone at some point, but seniors in particular are susceptible to feelings of isolation. According to the International Federation on Ageing, “the number one emerging issues facing seniors in Canada is keeping older people socially connected and active.” The COVID-19 pandemic has helped bring to light the shortcomings in our province’s long-term care system, which only serve to worsen the mental and social health of our elderly population. Three Mississauga university students sought a way to connect seniors with new friends through the power of written word, while promoting volunteerism among youth. Founded in August 2020, Sending Sunshine is a not for profit corporation that seeks to provide hope and happiness to seniors living in Canada. The organization has grown to welcome more than 10,000 student volunteers across Canada and internationally who participate in the organization’s card writing and pen pal programs. Sending Sunshine is paired with over 450 care facilities throughout Canada; in the community of Cornwall, we are partnered locally with Manoir Parisien Manor. Donated cards are sorted and shared with as many homes as possible throughout Canada. Secondary students can gain community service hours by writing kind messages in homemade or store-bought greeting cards and mailing them to the organization’s Mississauga P.O. box. Sending Sunshine also encourages school and community-based chapters; a great way to
meet new people while improving the lives of seniors. These groups are not only limited to high-school students, but include chapters run by college and university students as well as older community members. Currently there are no Sending Sunshine chapters established in the Cornwall area - anyone interested in running a chapter is invited to register online at www. sendingsunshine.ca under the “Chapters” heading. Another opportunity is our pen-pal program that connects students and seniors in a more personal way: instead of a single letter, students will write and receive at least 6 letters from a long-term care home resident and can create lifelong friendships. Interested students can apply online when spots are available. Information regarding volunteer opportunities and other updates can be found on the @sendingsunshineca Instagram page. I first became involved with Sending Sunshine in February after seeing some of their social media posts through Instagram. For the full story, visit www.cornwallseawaynews.com

What if they held an election…and no one showed up? SEAWAY NEWS We’re in the midst of a provincial election that, by all accounts, will likely leave us with much of the same Tory government we currently have. A Nanos Research poll from last week suggested that as we race towards the finish line on June 2, Premier Doug Ford continues to enjoy a sizeable lead. There’s little, if anything, that has taken place in the days since to suggest Ford is in danger of a defeat. Liberal leader Stephen Del Duca has not been able to present Ontario voters with much in the way of an alternative. Neither has Andrea Horvath and the New Democrats. So where does that leave us locally? In pretty much the same boat. It’s a twohorse race between political rookie Nolan Quinn, who is running on the ProgressiveConservative ticket, and Kirsten Gardiner, the Grit candidate. Gardiner enjoys some political experience, as the deputy mayor of South Dundas. Quinn owns a Cornwall restaurant and has spent plenty of time working for local
charities, including the United Way and Big Brothers. Jacqueline Milner is running for the Green Party, Wendy Stephen for the NDP, while Rémi Tremblay of the Ontario Party and Claude Tardif of something called the New Blue Party round out the local field. But with all due respect to the Greens, NDP and those other two ‘parties’, the local race will boil down to another clash between Liberals and Progressive-Conservatives. Does all this sound familiar? A provincial election that seems to be going through the motions across Ontario is once again boiling down to two old rivals here in Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry. Which leaves us with one burning concern – do you really care? We’re worried because all elections are important…but not everyone votes. Given the ho-hum mentality that surrounds this election, it concerns us that this will translate into a low turnout on election day. We could be wrong (it’s happened before) but this election has all the
hallmarks of a dud. Locally we have a chance to chart a new course, regardless of who wins. If it is Quinn, we will have an individual brand new to provincial politics representing us at Queen’s Park. It’s a chance for someone with some fresh perspective to bring our concerns to Toronto. If it is Gardiner, this would mark the first time a female MPP represented our local riding. Once again, an opportunity to bring a fresh perspective to Toronto, this time under a Liberal banner that hasn’t been flown locally since the popular Jim Brownell was MPP.
Regardless of your political affiliation, we encourage you to vote this week. The lack of melodrama in this election, both provincially and locally, should not be a reason for you to stay home. There are good candidates, and not-so-good. There are burning local issues like the dangerous Highway 138, the lack of access to quality medical care and the dearth of affordable housing in our region. Which candidate, in your mind, can address these issues the best? June 2 is your opportunity to decide.

Come along with me as I interview some people who have hit the road. I’ll be asking them to share the pros and cons of the wide variety of travel and overnight accommodations they’re using. Let’s say hello to this fellow sitting beside his bicycle. “How’d you spend the night?” He replies, “Right here, on this park bench, under a tarp, on top of this Therm-a-Rest pad. I have to travel light, really light.” When questioned about pros and cons, he explains, “Rain, mosquitoes and lack of privacy can be bad, but dollar outlay for equipment, camping fees and gasoline are zero. Sorry, gotta go, in more than one way.” This couple over here are just getting out of their little Fiat. Same questions get this response: “Really snug, but we were dry, and my wife felt safe enough, but no privacy.
Awfully stuffy – we had to keep the windows up to keep out the bugs. Our little four cylinder is real easy on gas, but we’re going to get a roof rack to give us some room.” I thought this next vehicle was a plumber’s van. Many miles and several years back, it was, but it’s been converted into an affordable camper. “We’ve added some shelving, a bench that folds out to make a bed, some curtains and pop-in screening for the front windows. Our ice box and water jugs last us for three days. Fortunately, we get to use MacDonald’s and Tim’s facilities when we go for breakfast. They’re a Godsend.” Let’s be off to a full-service campsite to see how folks in a 45-foot Class A motor home are doing. Be careful: don’t trip on those electrical and water hook-ups. And mind that flamingo. Nice little picket fence they’ve set up. Wow! They’ve brought in a plywood deck, set up some potted plants and mood-lighting and electrical bug zappers! Their air-conditioner’s running full-tilt and their satellite TV is a bit loud, so we’ll have to knock hard.
A CLASS A – Depending on your perceived needs, your budget, how much you travel and the kinds roads you like, this vehicle may be ‘it’. (Photo by Nick Wolochatiuk) Nice people! They’ve even offered to give us a tour, but I’ll just share some of their quotes: “When we were able to take an early retirement from our government jobs, we decided to sell our Forest Hill home in Toronto and buy this beauty. We can easily afford the payments, but we hope the interest rates won’t shoot up. The $239.9 per liter won’t bother us this summer, because we just use our tow-behind ‘Beamer’ for grocery

runs. By the time we head for Key West in October, I’m sure the price will go down.” The first three of these ‘interviews’ are actually based on first-hand experiences that began in Expo 67 year and continue to this day. I’ve met some very nice Class A folks in my travels. When I was on my 2005 Sea-toSea cross-Canada adventure, on two different occasions, some even put me up for the night.
OPINION
THIS ELECTION CAMPAIGN WAS A REAL SNOOZER Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings
EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM
Perhaps it is pandemic burnout, but whatever it was, this provincial election, in Stormont, Dundas, South Glengarry at least, was a numbingly slow snoozer. It had all the hype and excitement of a belch from the front pew of a prayer meeting. Except for Liberal standard-bearer Kirsten Gardner, deputy mayor of South Dundas, none of the hopefuls arrived on the scene with much of a political resume. Oddly, if history continues, Gardner will not do well in her backyard. Dundas is a Blue fortress. While he is a political tenderfoot, Nolan Quinn has a strong business background and, more importantly, is supported by a well-oiled, well-financed campaign machine that has campaigner extra-ordinaire, Eric Duncan, lending a hand. ELECTION NOTES – If the Ford guys and gals reclaim another majority, it will be lights out for NDP leader Andrea Horwath. ... Both Liberal leader Steven Del Duca and Horwath say they will hire thousands more personal support workers. The NDP would hire 30,000 more nurses and 10,000 more PSWs. One question: Where are they coming from? ... One dilemma facing businesses – small and large - in the province has been side-stepped by all the parties: how to solve the worker shortage. IN THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR A long-standing rule that forced city welfare recipients to give up their driving privileges was thrown out by council on June 12, 1970.
The backflip came after Dr. Morton Shulman of the NDP called out the policy in the legislature and created a national media storm. Cornwall was the only municipality in Ontario that had such a policy, labelled by Shulman as draconian. The next day driver’s licences, vehicle ownerships and plates were returned to 26 male recipients. It was a victory for Ald. Francis Guindon who for months had argued that the policy should be overturned. The policy was condemned by the Cornwall and District Building and Trades Council. City social services administrator Frances Flanigan said the rule had caused much heartache in her department. ************** In the 1950s and 60s, two police sergeants stood out on the local law enforcement landscape. Davey McCracken, a First World War veteran, was a fixture in the downtown area with Pitt and Second his de facto command post. The crusty McCracken didn’t hold back on chastising motorists and pedestrians for even the slightest infraction. He treated an illegal left turn as a capital offence. In east Cornwall, it was a far more passive Donat Tessier, a gentle bear of a man, who worked for the old township force that was absorbed by the city upon amalgamation. He patrolled east Cornwall for 45 years. After he retired in July 1968, he spent two nights a week as a parking lot attendant at Nativity Hall bingos to help augment his small police pension. On June 20, 1970 a crowded Nativity Church
said farewell to Tessier who died at age 70. East enders had christened Tessier the “Mayor of East Cornwall”. Tessier didn’t have far to go to work. He spent his entire life at 250 Louisa St., in the heart of the area he patrolled on foot. ************** In June 1970 Ald. Roy Brunet stepped up his one-person campaign to replace some of the full-time fire fighters with part-time help. When asked why he wanted to use volunteers to augment full-time fire fighters, Brunet had a short, sharp reply: “They (full-time) cost too much damn money.” Fire Chief Lucien Carriere, who crossed swords with the combative alderman on the issue, told council that many of Brunet’s money-saving claims were misleading or false. He warned that employing part-timers would harm response times. In the end, council sided with the fire chief. ALSO IN 1970 – Magistrate P. C. Bergeron told an Al-Anon meeting jail was no place for an alcoholic but a few days in the slammer could give “habitual drunkards” charged with being drunk in a public place a chance to think about cleaning up their act. ... After giving out suspended sentences to several persons convicted of shoplifting, Judge Michael Fitzpatrick said he would consider jail sentences in the future. The list of offenders included a 34-year-old mother of 10 who was convicted for the third time. ... A provincial report showed that Cornwall had climbed into fourth place on the provincial welfare rolls for municipalities with fewer than 100,000 residents. ... Telephone monthly rates were going up for Bell Telephone customers in the Cornwall exchange. Residential rates were
set to go up 30 cents to $4.95, while the business rates would go to $11.15, a 65 cents hike. ... A city police traffic map showed that Cumberland and Eleventh had more vehicle accidents than any other city intersection. Brookdale and Second was second, while Fourth and Marlborough was third. AND IN SPORTS Rookie Gilles Viau nailed an over-the-clubhouse home run to give Cornwall Motor Sales a 1-0 win over Vankleek Hill in North End Fastball League play at King George Park. Winning pitcher Gord Beaupre allowed two base hits. ... Royals’ general manager Norm Baril denied a claim by Ottawa 67’s coach/general manager Bill Long that the Cornwall team was trying to sign three players in the Ottawa junior B system. The players were Bryan Barker, Nick and Mike Haramis, all from the Cornwall area. ... In an effort to attract more race cars, Cornwall Speedway switched to Friday nights from Sunday afternoons. ... The Los Angeles Kings drafted Royals’ goaltender Billy Smith in the fifth round. TRIVIA In the 1974 provincial election, this Cornwall lawyer was the Liberal candidate in Cornwall. He finished third behind George Samis of the NDP and the Progressive Conservatives Guy Leger. Later he was appointed a judge to the federal court of Canada, trial division. TRIVIA ANSWER Erik Nielsen, brother of actor Leslie Nielsen, was the long-time Member of Parliament for the Yukon (1957-1987). He served as deputy prime minister in the Brian Mulroney government. QUOTED “If it’s OK to register cars and license drivers, why is it not OK to impose similar legal responsibilities on gun owners.” Novelist Stephen King
LETTERSTOTHE EDITOR: Renoviction By-Law BTW, about that Wolf Lodge deal… That outfit is generally a franchiser, so if it’s some “rube” franchisee(s) that have been hooked, look out. Recently Squamish out in BC (or thereabouts), got all excited and then passed over, stateside has had a recent cancellation as well. At any rate, keep an eye on whether Cornwall’s going to be asked to divvy-up some money, or tax break, or property servicing… just to see the subsidized or improved property re-sold for a profit… because seriously, no marketing study could ever suggest that a waterpark would make it in this area. (small example of mistakes were the Domtar woodyard cleanup
umpteen thousands, even after it was declared clean and sold to us, and target? Who knows if we even collected the $65,000 or so we were owed as recognized creditors …Mac will know about all that stuff) Just for fun, go to Trip Adviser and check out things to do in Cornwall, and see what we look like to the leisure/vacation crowd and just what a money magnet we are. (https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Attractions-g181722-ActivitiesCornwall_Ontario.html) Yep, no car rental offices on weekends, no bus, incoherent transit, soon no train (VIA’s going to drop Cornwall when the new line kicks in), and good luck looking for a nice patio for
eats and drinks on a Sunday, certainly not the shopping “Mecca” that CJSS once called it… and not exactly the stuff that brings ‘em in. Lastly… Too bad that the new greenspace at the harbour is going to junked up and commercialized, instead of being content that a nice cooperative effort between the Canadian Government and Akwesasne could just be a park, recognizing the earliest promise of cohabiting cultures -- the Two Row Wampum – it’d be a step toward a re-do… imagine even returning it to a semblance of it’s natural state; oh to dream.

Dear Editor: What exactly is happening between the City of Cornwall and VIA Rail? Who is representing Cornwall in regard to VIA? Please, details? I used to travel to Montreal twice a month by VIA Rail. I haven’t used a train in a couple of years, partially due to Covid. The week of April 15th, my sister travelled from Montreal to Cornwall. I was SHOCKED to see how our station has changed. Yes, it was clean, had snacks, brochures … but no more direct phone to VIA, no machine to make tickets or print them out, no announcements. Of course, no air conditioning. It is incredible that a town the size of Cornwall
should not have any direct communication with VIA. It seems they have nothing to do with our station any more. Shortly, there might not even be trains. Cornwall’s population has increased immensely during the past couple of years. Many young people from Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, buying homes and condos, few apartments available to rent. We keep building and the people keep coming. This is wonderful for Cornwall. WE NEED TRAIN SERVICE. With our increased population, we will have more students that travel to Kingston and Montreal and home to Cornwall. We have seniors that can no longer drive, and need the train to visit family or for
additional health care and recreation, etc. With the price of gas, will train travel not become more advantageous? What about Cornwall being a tourist town? We offer everything without the smog, noise, crime and a visit to a casino, within minutes. We need train service for families and tourists coming here from surrounding areas. Who are our representatives responsible for dealing with VIA Rail? The meetings must be transparent. We, the residents of Cornwall want to know exactly what is happening. Why not invite one or two VIA representatives to visit our growing city? If petitions are necessary, let’s get them started.
Something must be done IMMEDIATELY. We have lost enough services already. I don’t see any of those running for positions, bringing up the VIA Rail situation. Why? As our population is increasing, young people, seniors, new immigrants from all parts of the world. These people are so familiar with trains. WE NEED OUR TRAINS. WE NEED OUR SERVICES BACK THAT WE HAVE LOST. This is in the hands of our elected politicians. YOU MUST DO BETTER. Sincerely, Cynthia Feldman, Cornwall, ON

Dear Editor, It’s doubtful that Cornwall City Council and the Corporation have expertise in the area of landlord and tenant dealings; just avoiding the point where municipal and provincial jurisdictions clash could be a bit of a headache. Maybe treating the letting of premises for habitation as a business would be a better angle… requirement for a licence, with a set of standards and inspections etc. Clean up the hovels that get rented out in Cornwall… then again some of the ghastly tenants make them into hovels, that poorly prepared entrepreneur/landlords can’t ot won’t fix. Having seen both sides, it can be u-u-u-u-gly.

Local student wins bronze at National Virtual Science Fair
The 2022 EOSSAA Soccer Senior Girls winners, Glengarry District High School, advance to OFSAA.
Glengarry DHS Girls Win EOSSAA Gold in Soccer Championships May 26, 2022 – It’s a goal...and a gold! Glengarry District High School (GDHS) played host to the 2022 Eastern Ontario Secondary School Athletic Association (EOSSAA) soccer championships this week, with the girls’ team earning an EOSSAA gold and a spot in the Ontario Championships. The two-day event, held May 24 and 25, saw 12 teams from across Eastern Ontario vie for the covenant title, trophy, and to move onto the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA). Upper Canada District School Board was represented by both GDHS senior boys and girls and Rideau District High School (RDHS) varsity girls’ teams. Day one saw fierce competition from all the girls’ and boys’ respective squads. GDHS girls won each of their games and advanced to day two of the semi-finals. RDHS left it all on the field in both of their games, but could not pull off a win and their season came to a close. GDHS boys tied both of their games, but had enough points to advance to day two. GDHS girls swept the competition with a win in the semi-finals, advancing to the finals for an impressive victory over MacKenzie Community School 5-0. Coach, Kathleen Tonkin, says the girls gave
it their all from the beginning of the season through to the finals. “It was a very successful season, from the start, the girls only gave up two goals, and my pep talk to them before we started playing in the finals was that they’re all good individually, but together, we’re great.” A proud Tonkin says that the two-day event was intense as they were faced with injuries, leaving the team with no substitutes on top of the heat of the days. “They’re a very self-motivated team of girls,” she explains. “They really wanted this and came together as a team. They all support each other and now we’re bringing it to OFSAA!” GDHS senior boys met fierce competition in the semi-finals against École secondaire publique L’Héritage, ending the game with a 3-0 loss. Coach and convener, Glen Campbell, says it was a hard-fought season for the boys who found their way to the championships by way of a wildcard and had to play eight games in four school days. “I am incredibly happy with their performance. They worked hard, they played good defence. We just met a very talented team in the semi-finals, L’Héritage, and they are very strong. They were the top team in our league during the season as well.” GDHS senior girls will compete in OFSAA taking place June 2-4 in Windsor.

One of the three projects from area high school students won a bronze medal at the Virtual Canada Wide Science Fair (University of New Brunswick, Fredericton) on May 20th. Nuala Gibbs, a grade 8 student from Iona Academy, won a bronze medal in the Junior division for her project “L’impact du climat: Exploration de l’énergie éolienne”. Nuala was also awarded a $1,000 entrance scholarship to Western University. Nuala’s project explored how the shape and size of a wind turbine’s blades have an impact on the efficiency of energy production. She constructed a prototype and tested various blade sizes and shapes. Nuala was joined on the regional United Counties team by two other projects: Isabella McEvoy-Meikle & Raven Wang, grade 11 students from CCVS, and their project “CO2 Refrigerant”, as well as Anya Crispin & Yumna Haque, grade 8 students from Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School, and their project “Defeating the Bacteria Criteria”. The five students formed the United Counties Science Fair 2022 team when they were awarded the all-expenses paid, week-long virtual experience to attend the Virtual Canada Wide Science Fair after being selected as the top three projects at the regional United Counties Science Fair in April. “United Counties Science Fair hopes this will inspire other youth in our region and show that such opportunities are available at the regional and national level,” said Jason Marshall, Chair of the United Counties Science Fair.

Inaugural Charlee’s Run Raises $25,019 for Family Birthing Unit PROVIDED BY WDMH FOUNDATION The goal of the very first ‘Charlee’s Run’ in Kemptville was to bring the community together to raise awareness for pregnancy and infant loss, to offer support for those in need, and to provide an outlet for families to remember the little ones that have been lost too soon. It certainly did, while also raising $25,019 for the WDMH Family Birthing Unit. Organizers Mallory and Dave Holmes lost their daughter Charlee and say there are no words and no language surrounding pregnancy and infant loss. It often leaves people silent, which adds to the loneliness of an immeasurable loss. In a Facebook post after the event, they noted: “The Charlee’s Run village came together, as the force we are, to raise funds to help the tiniest of patients at two hospitals. Together we raised $116,000 for Orillia Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital and over $25,000 for Winchester District Memorial Hospital. This village has once again blown us away with support and to be honest we still don’t have words. So to this village we say thank you. Thank you for showing this world what absolute support, love and resolve look like.” Among other things, the funds raised will be used to purchase a cuddle cot.

Beating last years record by a few hundred trees, over 230,000 trees will go into the ground in 2022. The previous record dates to 1993 when 193,000 trees were planted by the Conservation Authority, and the average amount of trees typically planted annually by SNC is about 150,000. Thanks to fundraising initiatives and partnerships with member municipalities and the Raisin Region Conservation Authority, SNC will be distributing free tree seedlings to residents throughout Eastern Ontario.

MEET THE CANDIDATES

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com
Seaway News reached out to the candidates running in this week’s Provincial election. We asked them what their top three priorities were. Here are their answers. **Candidates are listed in alphabetical order**
Over the next 4 years, there will be many issues and concerns that will require strong advocacy for this riding. During the campaign, regardless of the issue raised, I heard directly from the people in this riding that there needed to be a strong voice that put people first, before politics. At all 3 debates there were many concerns raised and these issues have also resonated during one-on-one conversations. Healthcare in this riding needs to be championed. With the closure of another walk-in clinic in Cornwall and the ongoing issues of doctor recruitment throughout the riding, this will be a priority. We need
to be allowed the option of opening more nurse practitioner clinics. The medical clinics that we do have need to be fully supported and funded, this includes proactive programs. Access to mental health and addiction recovery supports needs to be funded properly and increased for our riding. We also need to have new options for addressing all mental health concerns, but especially the mental health of our children and youth and access needs to be right in our riding. Housing while a complicated issue, we are fortunate to have several organizations that have been working on what we need. The data has been collected but the provincial government now needs to support the plan. Municipal partners need to be empowered so that the issues can be addressed in a timelier manner. Waiting should not be an option. We need housing that is safe and secure and addresses affordability levels and different family dynamics. There are so many issues that need to be cham-
pioned but my main priority is to ensure that this riding is no longer forgotten. The fact that this riding has been left out of an Eastern Ontario Transportation plan is unacceptable. Addressing the issues of the 138 and other transportation arteries in this riding is necessary, but first we have to be included in the eastern Ontario plan. Many of our municipal partners will require funding for large infrastructure projects, long term care projects and items that support growth, we need to be included and considered in the funding envelopes fairly. We need to be considered for pilot projects. We need to stop having our concerns dismissed or ignored. We need strong experienced representation, that will be my priority. Kirsten Gardner Candidate for Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry Liberal Party
*My top 3 priorities as MPP are: * - *To listen, represent, and advocate for the people in Stormont, Dundas, & South Glengarry. *Because each person deserves to be acknowledged and represented by our riding’s MPP. Should our riding bestow upon me the privilege to do that, it will be my first priority to do so, with respect and care. - *Increase and sustain housing inventory within SDSG* with a view forward to support renters with rent controls. A housing first approach is absolutely necessary to ensure the health and wellbeing of those in need with stable, permanent housing solutions within walkable communities where the needs of people (schools, healthcare, food, green space)
are within a 15-minute boundary. Within the next few years about 20% of our population will be over 65. It is vital that we assist the seniors who built this province with programs that allow them to age in place within their own homes, in the communities that they know and love, should they wish to do so. When a Long-Term Care home is needed, the Green Party and I would like to ensure there are non-profit, loving and caring environments, and full-time well-paid health care workers and staff in place to ensure all who enter the home are supported with locally grown healthy food, mental health supports within a family first environment. - *Bolster our public Healthcare supports.* The past couple of years have put an excessive amount of stress on our healthcare organizations and workers. Many of our health care workers have left the profession as a result and we have a backlog of surgeries, imaging, and other services due to the pandemic. The GPO of Ontario will address our shortfalls as follows: -The Greens will ensure publicly funded mental
health care supports are in place to help our people, professionals, and students when and where they need them in a timely manner. -We will Work with the federal government to provide surge funding to reduce this backlog. -My party will rebalance the healthcare funding formula to ensure better access in rural and remote areas. -Expand the roles and scope of nurse practitioners as primary health care providers, especially in areas that lack primary care options. -Use incentives to bring physicians and allied health professionals to Northern and rural communities. -Provide cultural responsiveness training for all healthcare professionals across our system that is trauma-informed and rooted in equity and anti-racism.

Housing would be the number one priority. This includes both affordable housing and general housing units. As a community, we can not have the growth we need without having homes for the new residents to live in. Part of the problem with housing is getting more people into the trades to be able to expand the capacity so that we can grow. Lack of affordable housing is an issue that has existed for decades but has been cast in a spotlight since the beginning of the pandemic and the inflationary crisis we are all living through. Expanding affordable housing will help the whole community. The supply versus demand is
the real issue when it comes to housing across our riding and province. Housing costs will continue to grow until we have the workforce capable of helping with the capacity we need. This will in turn help to reduce costs, not only for new purchases, but also for rentals. Long Term care is another pressing priority. After 15 years of Liberal government which only created 611 new beds province wide, has put us behind on the aging demographic that is needing to use these facilities. We need enough long-term care beds spread throughout the riding so that our seniors can age in the communities they have called home their whole lives. Our PC government committed to more new long-term cares beds in our riding alone, than the previous government created province wide! We have a large aging population throughout all of Stormont, Dundas & South Glengarry and the need for more facilities to allow seniors the care and dignity they deserve and need. Committing to more development of
long-term care facilities is crucial for our community. Another major issue and priority I keep hearing at the doors is affordability. The cost of living and inflation we have seen lately has been astronomical. We need to ensure the supply chain is resilient enough to be able to handle the pressures to keep costs down. The cost of gas, child-care and goods in general has gone through the roof. We need to remove the bottlenecks in the supply chain to ensure smooth delivery of goods province wide. This will help to keep costs down. Our community is blessed in being a distribution hub for all eastern Ontario and can directly help the flow of goods from warehouse to end user. This allows for the most efficient use of dollars and savings for the consumer. Keeping taxes low and the cost of life down is a staple for the Ontario PC Party. Nolan Quinn Stormont - Dundas - South Glengarry Candidate Ontario’s PC Party
TOP THREE PRIORITITES As the NDP candidate, my top priorities all come down to respecting and investing in people. We must fix our broken healthcare system, a system already weakened by Liberals and broken by Doug Ford. We will start by taking the profits out of long-term care and treating healthcare workers with respect. It is the height of hypocrisy how healthcare workers were called “heroes” throughout the pandemic, only to have their wages capped by the PC’s Bill 124, a bill that Jim McDonell voted for. The staffing crisis in healthcare is due in large part to unbearable working
conditions wherein caring professionals are set up to fail their patients. We must ensure properly funded, strong public healthcare to ensure fair and timely access, high quality care, and equitable treatment of all people. It is essential that we address the underlying issue at the root of our social problems: poverty. Nobody chooses poverty - it is caused by policies that protect the wealthy while doing very little to lift up and dignify those less fortunate. Propping up this unfair system is what we call charity, which is designed to fill the gap between the rich and the poor. Many of the most vulnerable people in Cornwall and the surrounding counties are struggling to pay for basic necessities like rent and food. They don´t need charity. They need basic income and compassion. The PCs froze the minimum wage for three years while inflation got worse year after year, costing Ontarians on minimum wage about $6,000 in lost wages.
Many of the people I´ve met who are struggling to afford life these days are also people with disabilities. Disability is not a choice and we need to stop treating it like it is one. Finally, I think it is of the utmost importance that, if elected, I use my position as MPP to help amplify the voices of those who have traditionally been underserved in our communities. This includes 2SLBGTQIA+ people, immigrants, Indigenous peoples, racialized people, those with disabilities, seniors, and women. As your MPP, I will listen and will speak out when issues affecting us are being debated at Queen´s Park. I am committed to the people of SDSG.
As a New Blue SDSG MPP my 3 top priorities will be: My priority number one will be to fight to end all COVID-19 mandates by repealing Bill 195. This would include a ban on COVID-19 Passports and restitution for those harmed by emergency measures applied by the government of Justin Trudeau or Doug Ford. By doing so we would restore dignity and transparency in our health care system by expending early treatments for covid-19 and clearing the backlog of procedures by rehiring healthcare workers. We would also work on increasing the mental health portfolio to deal with all the
damages like depressions and addictions done by the lock downs. My priority number two will be to grow the economy by 5% annually. How do we do that you may ask? We achieve that by stopping wind turbines to reduce electricity rates leaving more money in your pockets. We would also provide tax relief by cancelling the industrial carbon tax levied by Doug Ford and finally lower the HST by 3%. These actions would leave money where it counts, in your pocket. This would have for effect to stimulate the economy from the bottom up by helping small and medium size business in the local economy creating employment. By growing the local economy, we would also be in a much better place to continue adding new Long-Term Care (LTC) beds to existing facilities or to build new LTC close to existing ones in the riding and my preference is that they be managed by non-profit or municipality. This growth in the economy would also give us the opportunity to increase ODPS benefit to living wage and increase
the availability of affordable housing. My priority number three will be to use the growing economy to finance a strong and healthy education system with all the appropriate tools required in this new technology intense education. This requires a substantial investment in internet infrastructure (fiber optic) to every home in SDSG, and laptop/tablets so that our children stay up to speed on education. Schoolboards in Cornwall have done a great job negotiating with each other for the wellbeing of their students and I am sure this example can be used in the rest of the Ontario on how to do business. I support the four schoolboards of the riding and will help in any way I can to ensure that SDSG get the province’s support in order to obtain top notch education in order to retain and attract new young families in SDSG. Claude Tardif Candidate for New Blue SDSG
My first priority will housing affordability in SDSG. As you know, prices have skyrocketed which is detrimental to first time buyers and young families. I would therefore engage all stakeholders in SDSG so to assess the possibility to offer tax credits and other incentives to attract developers and contractors who are pre-
pared to increase the supply for affordable houses. I would further discuss the possibility to remove the Ontario Land Transfer Tax for first time buyers and young families. My second priority will be to attract more health professionals to SDSG. One possibility would be to attract new immigrants to our area by offering to support their work permits and transition assistance to become permanent residents. We would look at the possibility to cover all associated costs in exchange for a mandatory period of service in our area. Moreover, I would review the possibility to cover relocation costs for health professionals coming from other
provinces who are interested to relocate to SDSG. My third priority will be to improve the quality of services provided to our senior citizens This means improving home care services so that seniors can stay at home for the longest possible period, as well as supporting financially natural caregivers. I would also work hard to secure additional funding so that we can make major improvements to our existing infrastructures, add more beds and personnel. Remi Tremblay Candidate for Ontario Party

In the process of purchasing a new boat I was told that Summerstown Marina had an attempted theft (unconfirmed). I was also told that 3 cars were also stolen along Highway 2 (also unconfirmed). There is the possibility of there being a lot more that we don’t know about since mine or the other three never made it to the papers.

It’s time to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s ascension to the throne. The Queen’s landmark time on the throne began in February 1952 when she was only 25 years old. Seventy years later from Thursday June 2 to Sunday June 5, a four day celebration will take place around the world to mark this unprecedented achievement. In Cornwall, the SD&G Historical Society invites everyone to Lamoureux Park on Thursday, June 2 at 10 am to officially celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and the Queen’s close connection to Cornwall and Canada. During her reign, the Queen has made 22 official tours of Canada, more than any other Commonwealth country. Her travels have brought her to the east, west and north, to large cities, small towns and tiny hamlets. She has witnessed firsthand several key moments in Canadian history including the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959 here in Cornwall. The Queen has visited Cornwall and SDG several times: Her first visit was as Princess in 1951 representing her father, King George VI and consisted of a train stop along her route to Toronto. In 1959, she visited Cornwall as part of a royal tour, where she opened the St. Lawrence Seaway, and stayed at the Cornwallis Hotel. In 1967, she visited the city as part of her Canadian Centennial tour. While here, she signed the city’s Golden Book with Prince Philip, and in 1976 she visited Upper Canada Village. One of the most publicized visits was during the royal tour of 1984, which was also Cornwall’s bicentennial year. Her Majesty has said in multiple speeches that she always regarded Canada as home and shares in the pride we take in our achievements. Join in as Cornwall and the world salute the Queen on her seventy years on the throne.

CUNNINGHAM Winifred “Pat” Margaret (Reed)
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our Mom, the Matriarch of our family. Wife of the late Howard Cunningham, beloved Mom to Carolyn (Alton), Cindy (Mike) and Grandmother to Tyler, Ashley, Ben, Nick, Connor and Great Grandmother to Devin, Avalin and Laila. Predeceased by her parents Walter and Margaret Reed, her daughter Barbara Cunningham and her brother Leonard Reed. Mom was a British war-bride marrying Dad, Boxing Day, 1944 and arrived in Canada on the first victory boat to Pier 21 May 8, 1945. She was an avid bridge player, taught line-dancing, acted in theatre, was a crafter and did wedding floral arranging and was a long-time Avon lady. She will be missed by all those who loved and knew her. You certainly did it “Your Way”. Now go and give “old Blue Eyes” and Howard a kiss. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Cornwall SPCA would be gratefully accepted. Plant a tree in Mom’s memory. Messages of condolence may be left at www.lahaiesullivan.ca.
It is with deep sadness to announce the passing of Norman at the age of 73 in Victoria, B.C. He was predeceased by his parents Edgar & Regina (Caron). He will be sadly missed by his daughter Adrianne (Greg) Azann, his son Justin, his grandson Ellis Azann, his brothers Kenneth (Florence), Bernard (Susan), and the love of his life Barbara (Merritt). Norman attended St. Lawrence H.S. where he discovered the world of science. He continued his education at McGill University. There, he became a Registered Technologist. Norman was awarded a B.Sc. (cum laude) degree and M.D. (cum magna laude) degree. He was also awarded the Forsyth prize for the Highest Academic Standing in Surgery. He was also asked to be a junior member of the McGill University Heart Transplant team working under Dr. A.R. Dobell and Dr. S. Pitzele and co-authored a scientific paper. He worked at the Cornwall General Hospital Emergency Department for 3 years. Followed by a private General Practice for 16 years, and finally by a challenging medical psychotherapy for 25 years. In his spare time, he enjoyed doing renovations (carpentry, electricity, plumbing), cooking and travelling. A private celebration of life will be held at a later date followed by a burial of ashes in Smithers, B.C.

Not all homes are built the same or maintained in the same manner. Over the years and even with new construction, things can happen that can devalue a property and most are not easily observed to the untrained eye. Most people can see missing shingles and think that can cause water penetration in the attic. However, what about the things you can’t readily see? Some unseen things in homes can be frightening whether they are a defect or something somebody tried to fix with no knowledge of what they were doing. The purchaser, seller and the Realtor® must rely on Inspections. There are various types of inspections and while I cannot cover them all here, I can briefly explain some of the most popular ones. A traditional Home Inspection is done by a Licensed Home Inspector and covers a wide range of topics such as roofing, insulation, wiring, plumbing, maintenance, suggestions of things to do and items of concern. This is done during the time when a property is conditionally sold. In the present market, this type of inspection has fallen out of favor somewhat as many buyers feel it will influence their offer negatively if they are competing with multiple offers. A Pre-Inspection is done by a Licensed Home Inspector and is ordered by a
ROYAL LEPAGE PERFORMANCE REALTY PETER HICKEY SALES REPRESENTATIVE
homeowner prior to listing their home so there are no surprises when they sell. Problems can be resolved before listing. A Septic Inspection is usually done in rural settings and is something that you cannot see from the surface. An examination of the septic tank and the field bed is the only way to know if the system is working properly and has been maintained properly. A Sewer Lateral Inspection is done by putting a specialized camera down the home’s sewer line and viewing the pipe from the inside to look for blockages, roots, collapsed pipes and of course “No-corrode” sewer pipe. The value in a home inspection done by a Licensed Home Inspector is being able to make an informed decision about the home you select. Just like selecting a Realtor®, speak to the Home Inspector, ask them what they will do for you and find one that makes you feel comfortable. For more information, call a Realtor®.

ACTUALITÉS
Les agriculteurs de l’Est ontarien partagent avec les banques alimentaires L’ORIGINAL (Ontario), le 20 avril 2022 - Le Réseau agroalimentaire de l’Est ontarien (RAEO) est fier de partager sa plus récente campagne d’impact public - « Un rang à partager ». La campagne offre aux jardiniers privés et commerciaux la possibilité de cultiver un rang supplémentaire de légumes ou de fruits et de partager la récolte avec des voisins en la faisant don aux banques alimentaires locales et aux programmes de repas. Le RAEO encourage tous les agriculteurs et membres à contacter leur banque alimentaire locale et à discuter de leurs besoins et à comprendre les volumes qu’ils peuvent gérer. Le RAEO veut également célébrer publiquement chacun de ses membres qui participent en partageant leurs histoires pour reconnaître leurs initiatives et inspirer les autres à faire autant. La Ferme Houle Farm, membre du RAEO à Curran, porte le concept à un nouveau niveau. Selon André Houle, « La Ferme Houle s’est associée au Centre Agapè, un autre membre du RAEO à Cornwall, pour les dons de la ferme et a offert d’aider à coordonner les lieux de dépôt pour les dons des autres fermes participantes. » La Ferme Houle Farm a lancé sa campagne Facebook le 1er avril. Good Food Garden et la banque alimentaire de Vankleek Hill, tous deux membres du RAEO à Vankleek Hill, ont ajouté leur touche à la campagne « Un rang à partager ». Peggy McDonald de Good Food Garden plante suffisamment pour des paniers supplémentaires ASC (agriculture supportée par la communauté) spécifiquement pour faire un don à la banque alimentaire de Vankleek Hill. Deuxièmement, elle a également mis en place un programme permettant à
ces clients de l’ASC de faire don de leurs semaines inutilisées à la banque alimentaire locale. Cela permet à Good Food Garden de fournir à la banque alimentaire un large choix et une bonne quantité de légumes. Jane Fantie de la banque alimentaire de Vankleek Hill a déclaré : « Nous convenons que Good Food Garden a une excellente idée. Le format ASC livre des légumes frais sur une base hebdomadaire tout au long de la saison de croissance. Nos clients peuvent choisir les légumes qu’ils aiment et utiliseront. La banque alimentaire VKH met en valeur la grande variété de légumes cultivés localement, propose des recettes de légumes moins connus et encourage une alimentation saine. Un avantage supplémentaire est qu’il y a moins de gaspillage lorsque les clients choisissent ce qu’ils aiment ! Tom Manley, directeur exécutif du RAEO, explique “Cette campagne d’impact public correspond à la mission du RAEO qui consiste à soutenir la production et la consommation d’aliments locaux en mettant en relation les producteurs et les consommateurs, y compris les prestataires de services tels que les banques alimentaires communautaires”. Le Réseau agroalimentaire de l’Est ontarien a été créé en 2010 et dessert un territoire comprenant Akwesasne, la Ville de Cornwall, les Comtés unis de Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry et les Comtés unis de Prescott et Russell. Son infolettre bihebdomadaire est envoyé à plus de 1 000 destinataires, dont des agriculteurs, des producteurs agroalimentaires, des institutions, des experts en agroalimentaire et des consommateurs. En 2021 et 2022, le REAO a reçu un financement de base des Comtés unis de SDG, de la Ville de Cornwall et des Comtés unis de Prescott-Russell.

Le soutien social Les deux dernières années ont été éprouvantes pour tous en raison de la pandémie. Les opportunités pour les rencontres sociales ont été restreintes ce qui a été difficile à vivre pour plusieurs. Le manque de soutien social que cela a occasionné s’est fait grandement sentir. Nous avons tous besoin de nous sentir à notre place et de ressentir que les autres se soucient de notre bien-être. Le soutien social est tout à fait cela : avoir un sentiment d’appartenance et savoir que d’autres personnes nous portent une attention particulière. Maintenant que les mesures de santé publique sont devenues moins restrictives, les occasions de mettre en place des situations qui favorisent le soutien social sont facilitées et c’est une bonne idée d’en profiter. POURQUOI EST-CE IMPORTANT? Nous avons tous besoin des autres. Il est souvent sous-estimé à quel point nous pouvons bénéficier du soutien d’autres personnes. Le soutien social peut nous aider à faire face à des épreuves ou à des échecs, à résoudre des problèmes, à améliorer notre estime de soi et même à gérer des problèmes de santé et de stress. Les gens qui ont l’impression d’avoir le soutien social dont ils ont besoin ont tendance à avoir un niveau de stress moins élevé que les autres.
