Approximately 55 kids between the ages of 4 and 12 came through clubhouse doors during the week of January 2 to 6, 2023 to participate in the Boys & Girls Club Cornwall/ SDG Winter Camp.

“BGC winter camp was a blast! Children

participated in many different activities like science experiments, crafts, cooking, and lots of outdoor play,” shared Program Manager, Lacey Loynachan, “BGC thrives on providing memorable experiences for children during their time at our camps. It’s always a great feeling to hear laughter spread throughout our building and know that children are

enjoying themselves.”

BGC Cornwall/SDG is a safe and supportive place where youth can experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships, and develop confidence and skills for life. In addition to their regular programs, BGC hosts day camps during the summer, winter, and March Break.

EDCO Awards of Excellence finalist

Todd Lihou Around

the Counties

The United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry has been named as a finalist for the 2022 EDCO Awards of Excellence, thanks to its successful Date My County resident attraction contest.

SDG Counties was recently advised that the Date My County program is being feted alongside other finalists under the ‘Workforce Development & Resident Attraction – Rural Award’ category at the annual Economic Developers Council of Ontario (EDCO) Awards of Excellence.

The event takes place Feb. 9, 2023 in Toronto.

This year SDG Counties launched Date My County with great aplomb, encouraging applicants to vie to become an SDG brand ambassador and live rent free in our region for 12 months. The application process saw 177 individuals apply. Michael Bricteux and Emily Tohana, a couple from Montreal, Que. will make the move to SDG Counties next year to begin their love affair with our region.

The goal of Date My County is to market our region to remote workers and others looking to leave the rat race of the big city and live in a rural setting that offers a better quality of life.

“It is a great honour for SDG Counties to be named by EDCO as a finalist in the 2022 EDCO Awards of Excellence,” said Economic

Development Manager Tara Kirkpatrick. “We designed the Date My County contest as a marketing vehicle to show other Canadians what our region has to offer and to let them know that there are opportunities available for them here.

“The response was astounding. Our campaign went viral and attracted attention from around the world. We had 177 people apply and tell us that they wanted to live out the Canadian dream in SDG Counties. Our doors are open and our message is out there. Come make SDG Counties your home.”

GAMES FETED TOO: Pipes-Drums Magazine recognized the Glengarry Highland Games as one of the signature events of 2022 in the world.

The popular magazine for pipers and drummers read the world over named the Glengarry Highland Games as a nominee in the ‘Event of the Year’ category - the only Canadian entry in a field of six nominees.

The Glengarry Highland Games was nominated in the Event of the Year category and was the only Canadian nominee in a field of six.

Games President Eric Metcalfe was thrilled.

“It’s always nice to be recognized for what we do, especially at this level,” he said. “Through the hard work of our directors and volunteers, each year we strive to present the best Celtic festival possible.”

The winner of this year’s Honour was the World Pipe Band Championships held in Glasgow, Scotland which brings together the finest pipers and drummers in the world.

Parkinson’s disease: 3 myths and the truth behind them

A diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease is sometimes met with comments that may or may not be accurate. These statements reveal a general misunderstanding of the condition. But like any disease, Parkinson’s shouldn’t be taken lightly. Here are three persistent myths about Parkinson’s disease and the truth behind them.

1. Parkinson’s is linked to aging Older people aren’t the only ones who can be diagnosed with the disease. About one in five of those affected are diagnosed before age 40. In fact, some people have symptoms like depression or progressive loss of smell for as much as 20 years before getting a diagnosis.

2.

Everyone with Parkinson’s has tremors

Although trembling is the symptom most readily associated with Parkinson’s, it only affects about 30 to 65 per cent of people with the disease. It’s primarily observed in the hands, but can also spread to the legs, lower jaw and head.

3. Parkinson’s only has to do with movement

About 50 symptoms have been linked to this disease, including depression, progressive loss of smell and tremors. Other symptoms of Parkinson’s

include insomnia, anxiety, constipation and speech deterioration.

Are you worried that you or someone close to you may have Parkinson’s disease? Make an appointment with a healthcare professional as soon as possible.

CMHA Champlain East hosts MenTALK Virtual Event for Bell Let’s Talk

KRYSTINE THERRIAULT ktherriault@seawaynews.media

Our local chapter of the Canadian Mental Health Association – Champlain East – is busy preparing for their virtual event, MenTALK, taking place on Zoom January 24, 2023, from 6:30 to 8:00pm, one day before Bell Let’s Talk Day on the 25th.

Since 2011, Bell Let’s Talk Day has donated $139,588,747.75 to Canadian mental health initiatives and encouraged Canadians to ‘take meaningful action to create positive change’.

“1 in 2 people struggling with their mental health aren’t getting the help they need. 1 in 4 Canadians have been experiencing high levels of anxiety. More than 200 Canadians will attempt suicide every day; twelve will die. The number of opioid overdose deaths in Canada went up more than 90% during the pandemic. It’s now 20 per day.”

These are just a few statistics on the Bell Let’s Talk website, provided by Mental Health Research Canada.

In 2020, CMHA Champlain East received $20,000 from the Bell Let’s Talk Community Fund and launched two free programs with those funds: Living Life to the Full and Mood Walks. CMHA has run over a dozen Living Life to the Full psychoeducation programs so far, each taking place over the course of 8 weeks.

Each year, CMHA Champlain East hosts an event for Bell Let’s Talk Day. This year’s virtual event is hosted in partnership with the Cornwall Public Library. Five male guests will share a little bit about their mental health journeys to reduce stigma and get the conversation going about men’s mental health.

“We want people to hear the story of these courageous men sharing what mental health is really like in their experience. How to look for the signs and how to approach and how to open the conversation,” explained CMHA’s Angele D’Alessio, “We definitely want not just men, but anyone to attend. We want anyone supporting men, living with men, colleagues, best friends, anybody.”

The evening’s panel will consist of

co-founders of our local Men Talk support group, Stephen Douris and Ivan Labelle, along with Tom Hickey and Mitchel Roy, all of whom volunteer with our local CMHA. The discussion will be moderated by CMHA’s Manager of Mental Health Promotion, Jason Pollick, with CMHA members in the background checking for questions and sharing resources.

“We know there has been an increase in the need for services since the pandemic. The more we talk about the demand, that there’s a need for this, hopefully the people that need to hear it and provide the supports and the funding will make it a priority,” said D’Alessio.

Unlike previous years when Bell donated 5 cents for every use of the phrase ‘Bell Let’s Talk’ on social media or text, this year the company chose to donate $10 million to the cause. This is more than they have donated in a single year since the start of Bell Let’s Talk (in 2022 they donated 8.2 million). The hope is that by taking the focus off social media, people will take more positive action IRL.

As for why CMHA is choosing to focus on men specifically for their discussion:

“Every day in Canada, 200 Canadians will attempt suicide and a large proportion of the people who end their life by suicide are men. In fact, 75% are men. Men generally don’t easily share their feelings. There are still a lot of stigmas around masculinity and being vulnerable. And that’s why this conversation is important because we want to reduce those rates of suicide and we want to encourage men to talk. Join a support group, reach out for those supports… hopefully they will be encouraged by hearing these testimonies,” D’Alessio explained.

“Often, we hear feedback, well its just one day a year. There’s a big promotional day once a year but the idea is to keep the conversation going each and every day. In your personal life, at work. When we go out and promote mental health as an agency, we share that that this is a conversation you want to have as often as you can,” she added.

Cornwall Police Services Board

KRYSTINE THERRIAULT ktherriault@seawaynews.media

The first Cornwall Police Services Board meeting of 2023 took place at City Hall on January 12, 2023.

During the meeting three new board members were sworn in by city clerk Manon Leveque: Mayor Justin Towndale and city councilor Maurice Dupelle as City Council appointees and Stephen Scott as Community Representative. Other CPS board members include provincial appointees Michel Payette and Amanda Brisson.

After the swearing in was complete, the board voted on the positions of Chair and Vice-Chair. Mike Payette was nominated by Amanda Brisson to resume his former position of Chair of the Board. Mayor Justin Towndale nominated councilor Maurice Dupelle to take the position of Vice-Chair. Both were accepted without challenge.

Other issues on the agenda for the initial board meeting of 2023 included an update to

new board members on the end of the Cornwall Police’s affiliation with CALEA effective December 31, 2022, and addressing a request from City Council for report(s) on the current police strategy on traffic enforcement and the possibility of introducing more automated enforcement measures to reduce speeding in Cornwall.

Another update shared during the meeting was that as of November 30, 2022, the balance in the Cornwall Police Services board TD bank account was just over $26,000.

“We have auctions once a year where we sell any bicycles that have been seized through the course of our duties and the profits from that auction go into a separate bank account,” explained Police Chief, Shawna Spowart, “Often the board in the past has used these funds to provide donations to non-profit groups looking for funding.”

Enbridge Gas assists South Stormont Fire and Rescue in supporting firefighter training

Supervisor, Enbridge Gas.

Enbridge Gas Inc. (Enbridge Gas) is helping South Stormont Fire and Rescue purchase firefighting training materials, through Safe Community Project Assist–a program with the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council (FMPFSC) that supplements existing training for Ontario volunteer and composite fire departments in the communities where Enbridge Gas operates.

“At Enbridge Gas, safety is our priority. We’re proud to support Ontario firefighters who share our commitment to keeping our communities safe, healthy and vibrant,” says Scott Harris, Eastern Region Operations

This year’s $250,000 donation from Enbridge Gas will be shared by 50 Ontario fire departments, including South Stormont Fire and Rescue. Funds are used to purchase educational materials to assist in training firefighters in life-saving techniques.

Since the launch of Safe Community Project Assist in 2012, 294 grants have been provided to Ontario fire departments for additional firefighter training.

“Safe Community Project Assist improves access to training materials for fire departments,” says Jon Pegg, Ontario Fire Marshal and Chair of the FMPFSC. “Firefighting can be dangerous and unpredictable, and these

training materials positively contribute to the health and safety of firefighters and the broader community.”

Morris Lamer, Fire Chief of South Stormont Fire and Rescue says, “On behalf of the South Stormont Fire and Rescue Service, I wanted to express my personal gratitude for the generous contribution by Enbridge and the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council. Your commitment to public safety and assisting our fire service is not only noted but commended. These charitable donations enable our firefighters to continue their education and develop ongoing firefighting skills. Thank you for your confidence and support.”

The Friends of the Summerstown Trails receives Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant

Summerstown, Ontario – On January 15th, the Friends of the Summerstown Trails (FOTST) hosted a media conference at the trailhead to recognize the $17,900 Community Building Fund – Capital stream grant received from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF).

“By retrofitting this school portable into a welcome center, the Friends of the Summerstown trails will be able to provide even more fulsome programming for the over 15000 visitors that currently visit on an annual basis,” said Nolan Quinn, MPP for Stormont—Dundas—South Glengarry. “The year-round network of over 30kms of trails serves the residents of Stormont, Dundas & South Glengarry well by allowing access to nature, free of charge. This new addition to the Summerstown trails will be welcomed by all users.”

This grant allowed FOTST to renovate the school portable, which will act as the hub for all their activities and events. The recognition event was held during the annual Official

Opening Day at the trails where the public is invited to come out to the trails and take advantage of the free rental of equipment on that day.

“Our volunteers are behind everything we do, from grooming the trails to running our events and programs,” said Vic Leroux, FOTST President. “We have a great group of dedicated volunteers, over 70 in total, and they are the ones who allow us to offer our school hosting program, Family Day Festivities, Learn-to programs, etc. to the community.”

Mother Nature delivered snow just in time and hundreds of people came out to the trails, enjoying the sunny temperature, skiing, snowshoeing, biking or just walking the trails. The parking lot overflowed and cars had to park on the adjacent county road. With snow and ice still sticking to all the branches, the forest was sparkling when the sun came out at noon.

The Summerstown Trails are located on Summerstown Road, 1.6 km north of exit 804 of the 401.

Writing on the wall for S-F print edition

Claude McIntosh MAC’S MUSINGS INFO@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

Instead of slowly strangling the print edition of its newspapers to death, Postmedia should just get it over with a painless coup de grace.

The once-daily Standard-Freeholder like so many other small and medium papers in the profit challenged Postmedia stable will be down to three days a week by the end of the month.

It’s all part of a long-term plan to wean readers – what’s left of them – off the print product and over to the e-edition. Circulation has plunged from 20,000 in 1989 to about 2,800.

At best, the print edition will survive as a weekly paper, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Under Postmedia, the newspaper – the once paper of record – has all but wiped out its footprint in the community. Staff has been reduced to a handful – two dedicated reporters try cover the city and counties – and it no longer has an office with the seven or eight full-time employees working from home.

It’s back to the future, in reverse. Some 80 years ago the S-F went from three-times-aweek to six days a week. And in the early 1990s it had a brief fling with seven days a week.

As Bob Dylan wailed, “Times are a’changin”.

THIS AND THAT: If super sniper and Putin admirer Alex Ovechkin missed targets as many times as the Ruskies who are heaving missiles into Urkraine, he would be a lot farther behind Wayne Gretzky’s NHL scoring record. The “Evil Empire” keeps insisting that it does not intentionally target civilians infrastructure, this comes after another apartment building is hit by a rocket. .... Every Canadian citizen should be required to spend a day at the local court house to see how justice pokes along. And just pray that you don’t get called for jury duty and have to waste a day listening to a judge’s “It’s-YourDuty” lecture after hearing a litany “excuses” for not serving. ... It has long been said that goaltenders are a peculiar breed of hockey player. Robin Lehner, who is paid $5 million this year not to stop pucks for the Las Vegas Knights (he is injured), supports that belief. With a $50 million debit hanging over his head, Lehner has filed for bankruptcy. The filing shows that he spent $1.5 million to purchase a rare snake collection for his reptile farm.

HERE AND THERE: The passing of former Standard-Freeholder publisher Don Tomchick brings the long list of living publishers this scribbler worked for down to two – Milton Ellis and Don Brander, two of the best to take charge of the S-F, long shots from the eccentric part-time Mormon bishop they brought in from Northern Ontario to run the paper and was gassed after just about wrecking the place.

THIS AND THAT: Sam Montembeault isn’t a Vezina Trophy contender. Not even close. But dollar for dollar the Canadiens’ tender at $800,000 just might be the best supporting cast member in prime time. On the weekend the 25-year-old, filling in for the injured Jake Allen, went back-to-back in the Big Apple and of the combined 77 shots the Rangers and Islanders fired he made 74 stops. Meanwhile, the alleged goaltending future sat on the bench for each game after being called up from Laval. ... New twist on a home-based family business: A mother and son have been charged by Florida cops for running a brothel out of the family home.

LOOKING BACK: Two major fires in a short stretch in January 1959 tested Cornwall Fire Department manpower.

On Jan. 27 fire destroyed the Jacobs Building at Pitt and Second streets. Fire crews, barely recovered from a spectacular fire on Marlbourgh street six days earlier, spent seven hours fighting to contain the Jacobs fire from spreading to other stores.

Six days earlier, most of the same fire fighters found themselves up against a fire that started in the Page Craft Co. building. Fanned by strong winds, the fire soon spread to the nearby three-storey frame apartment building at 620 Marlborough St., leaving 23 residents homeless.

Fire Chief Lou Carrier, who pitched in at both fires, praised the work of his small band of fire fighters.

Of the 78-year-old Jacobs Building fire, Carrier said that for a time he thought the entire block was going up in flames.

TRIVIA: This Cornwall lawyer once served as president of the Canadian Bar Association: 1) Pat Rudden, 2) Hugh Duncause, 3) Stanley Fennell, 4) Paul Rouleau, 5) Lionel Chevrier.

TRIVIA ANSWER: Cornwall’s first Pride Festival was held in Lamoureux Park in September 2004.

ALSO THIS MONTH IN 1959: The Broderick Home at Ninth and Amelia streets was torn down to make room for a commercial building. The red-brick, two-storey house started life in 1882 as hotel and general store on the north side of Ninth next to the CNR station. It was later moved across the street. ... Seven new aldermen were sworn in. The new members were Ralph Carrara, Art Cardinal, Doug Fawthrop, Gerald Parisien, Larry Keen, Rheal Lemire and Larry Keen. Incumbents were James Ross, J. D. Murray, Bernard Miller, Harold Shields and Robert MacDonell. For the first time, the inauguration meeting was broadcast live on CKSF radio. ... Former city police constable Raymond Powell was given a two-month jail term after pleading guilty to breaking into a city service station and stealing a set of tires while on duty. He was fired the day he was arrested at the station. ... Ted Saunders was named sports editor of the Standard-Freeholder. He came to Cornwall from the Painesville, Ohio newspaper. He succeeded Frank Orr who would become a Hall of Fame hockey writer for the Toronto Star.

DANCES WITH WORDS

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

The car you drive has three rear-view mirrors, but only one windshield. That can be a parable on Life.

First: superior numbers aren’t the only thing that decides who the victor of battles or a war will be. For example, take a look at the Arab-Israeli wars. So far, the outnumbered has always been the winner. That tells us that the three mirrors are important, as they tell what is behind us, but the one windshield is even more important, as it gives us a heads-up as to what is ahead.

Secondly, that one windshield is much larger than the three mirrors put together. In this case, size does matter. Seeing what is ahead is important.

Here’s where the analogy between Life and driving breaks down. We have a good view is what is behind us, (2022, 2021, 2020…), but we can’t do much about it, we can’t change it. The past is a fait accompli.

That big windshield of Life invites us to peer into what’s ahead of us in 2023, 2024. 2025…? There are a few things that seem obvious and predictable (some rain, some sunshine, changeable temperatures as the cycle of seasons takes us toward spring, summer…

There are things beyond our control (stock market crash, death of our parents, lightning strikes…). However, we can take some

“Look behind you!” – You can never know what’s coming. The red squirrel flying through the air is what lies ahead. We are unknowing as the black squirrel. Just as what 2022 eventually brought us, we know not what 2023 will bring.

prudent measures (such as regular exercise, wearing seat belts, getting inoculated, having friends, avoiding obesity, harmful drugs, smoking and alcohol…) to increase the likelihood that our future will have a quality of life, rather than being warehoused in a long-term care facility.

As of January 18 (this publication date) your New Year’s resolutions are far more than a baker’s dozen days old and past their best-before date. Were they the right ones? How are they doing? Bonne chance! Que sera, sera. Iacta alea est. “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?” (Matthew 6: 25 & 26)

Just get on with life by doing the best you can. Most of the goods and bads are beyond our control.

Cornwall blood donations high amidst national shortage

KRYSTINE THERRIAULT ktherriault@seawaynews.media

Canadian Blood Services recently put out a call to action to Canadians for more blood donations amidst a concerning national shortage. Issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic and recent winter storms have had a big impact on supply and demand, leading to a need for new donors to help sustain the system.

In Cornwall, a blood donation event takes place at the Best Western (1515 Vincent Massey Drive) once a month.

“Cornwall is one of our best locations for regular blood donors and consistent blood donations. It’s a very, very important donation event to help sustain the blood units in our area. In fact, in 2022 Cornwall alone came in with 1,552 blood units that we collected and that is a large amount for one community,” explained Jan Grant, Community Development Manager for Eastern Ontario.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, regular blood donors decreased by 31,000 across Canada resulting in the country’s smallest blood donation base in a decade. While we are no longer in a critical situation, more regular blood donors are needed so the system is

not always depending on the same small number of people to donate.

“This winter, we sustained several snowstorms. Those impacted our collections and our blood supply inventory, and we anticipate those disruptions to continue in the weeks ahead with more winter blasts that are coming our way,” Grant said.

As older donors gradually retire from blood donation, it is important for younger generations to participate in these clinics. Since the minimum age for donation is 17, Canadian Blood Services encourages soon-to-be high school graduates to make their first blood donation appointment to celebrate entering a new phase of their life in a positive and giving way.

Currently, appointments in Cornwall are fully booked for February and March.

Individuals who are interested in donating are encouraged to book ahead into the months of April, May, or June. Appointments can also be made in surrounding areas such as Winchester, Rockland, Embrun, and Ottawa.

Visit blood.ca or 1-888-2-DONATE to book and check your eligibility.

15-year hospital partnership helping local patients quit smoking

January 16, 2023 – This National NonSmoking Week, Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) is celebrating 15 years of partnership with the University of Ottawa Heart Institute’s Ottawa Model for Smoking Cessation (OMSC).

In 2002, smoking cessation experts at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute (UOHI) developed the OMSC – an institutional program that systematically identifies, provides treatment, and offers follow-up to patients who smoke as part of routine care. In 2006, the UOHI began to assist other inpatient, outpatient, and primary care settings to imple-

ment the OMSC.

Since the implementation of the OMSC at CCH in February of 2008, an impressive 12,000 smokers have been reached through personalized consultations and received best practice tobacco dependence treatment including nicotine replacement therapy. Today, an estimated 4,500 local patients are smokefree as a result of the support they received through the OMSC while at CCH.

3 practical strategies to improve your mental health

Bell Let’s Talk Day takes place on Wednesday January 25, 2023. It’s the perfect opportunity to take steps toward improving your mental health and well-being. Here are some proven strategies to take control of your mental health.

MAINTAIN YOUR SOCIAL NETWORK

Make time to see loved ones. Call a family member or go out for drinks with a friend. You could also try expanding your network of friends by signing up for a group activity. The sense of belonging and the bonds you create can help improve your mental health.

MOVE YOUR BODY: Exercise reduces stress, gives you energy and makes you feel good. Try out various activities to find the ones you like and practice them regularly. For example, you can garden, dance, run, do yoga or play frisbee; the possibilities are endless.

GAIN NEW KNOWLEDGE: Learning promotes self-confidence and contributes to a sense of well-being. You can register for a course or introduce yourself to hiking, try a new recipe, watch tutorials or subscribe to a magazine on a topic that interests you.

Finally, set aside some “me-time” and use it wisely — whether taking a nap or singing aloud.

How understanding your emotions can improve your mental health

Bell Let’s Talk Day, which falls on Wednesday January 25, 2023, is an annual opportunity to raise awareness about mental health issues and take steps to improve your well-being. One important part of strengthening your mental health is learning how to better identify and understand your emotions.

WHAT IS EMOTIONAL AWARENESS?

It can be useful to think of your emotions as messengers. They tell you something about yourself, your needs and your situation. Emotional awareness is the ability to acknowledge and make sense of these emotions so you can express and act on them in a healthy way. For example, recognizing when you feel stressed can help you identify the source of this strain and allow you to make decisions to improve your current circumstances.

Additionally, a crucial component of emotional awareness is learning to accept how you feel without judgement. While some emotions can feel positive and others negative, all emo-

tions are normal. Rather than ignoring, repressing or judging your emotions as good or bad, you can greatly improve your mental health by simply accepting how you feel.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

There are numerous benefits to being able to understand and accept your emotions. In addition to helping you work through difficult feelings, increasing your emotional awareness can help you improve the way you express yourself and communicate with others. Being more in touch with your emotions can also help you recognize how others are feeling, thereby improving your personal and professional relationships.

It’s important to remember that building emotional awareness takes time. If you’re having trouble managing your emotions, don’t hesitate to confide in a trusted friend or family member or reach out to a mental health professional for help.

Binh Ha named new Blazers Director

The Seaway Valley Soccer Club recently announced that Binh Ha was voted in as the new Director of the Blazers. Ha is an experienced soccer player, head team coach, and board member. He is replacing Marc Primeau, who held the position of Blazers Director for ten years and will continue his roll of head referee with the club.

“I am honoured and excited to be taking over the Director of Blazers role and hope that my team and I can continue to grow and deliver a quality program for the youth in our community. I would like to thank our previous Director, Marc Primeau on his transformative and impactful tenor these last ten years and wish him all the best,” said Binh Ha. Ha shared that in 2022, one big milestone

was returning to normal soccer activities for all programs after COVID-19 temporarily shut things down. Last year saw over 900 youth soccer players registered and more than 100 volunteers come together to make it all happen.

“This included competitive play for our Blazers, Coyotes and recreational House League programs. We were also able to run skills development in the fall,” Ha explained.

As for 2023, later this month the SVSC will offer Futsal to competitive Blazers players (a type of indoor soccer played on a smaller court with fewer players) along with holding tryouts for the Coyotes program. In the spring, the club will run more skills development and hopes to invite teams from around the region to a weekend festival of soccer games.

The value of preventive maintenance

Tom Rand Around the Home WALKER CLIMATE CARE

As the colder winter days approach, our office is inundated with calls from folks in tough situations – they’ve got no heat from their furnace (or other heating appliance). Of course, we have a very capable service department who are always happy to help! What you might not know, though, is that you can help prevent yourself from getting into this situation in the first place.

Are you an employer struggling to hire?

You are not alone!

The current labour shortage in Canada has left many employers scrambling to fill vacancies and struggling to retain existing staff. As multiple lucrative job opportunities continue to flood the market, people are job hopping like never before, leaving employers to recruit staff in a very competitive market. If this sounds like you, reach out to Job Zone d’emploi. Our services are not only for job seekers, we have an entire employer services team dedicated to helping you fill vacancies and find the perfect candidate.

Whether you use natural gas, propane, oil or even electricity, your furnace is a mechanical appliance. And just like your car, it too requires regular maintenance from a certified technician to keep it in good working order. Imagine having your car towed to the garage because it won’t start and then telling the mechanic you’ve never changed the oil, filters, or even rotated the tires. Calling a heating contractor when your furnace doesn’t work and you’ve never serviced it is exactly the same! So, what can and should you do?

Firstly, check the filter regularly. A clogged filter is a very common problem, and a very easy fix – and cheap, if you don’t let it go too long. There isn’t a hard rule about how often to do this as every home is different. Factors like presence of pets and renovations have a huge effect on the life of the filter. The filter type you use matters too - more on this in a future column.

Secondly, have a professional perform a multi-point inspection on a yearly basis. A certified gas technician or AC mechanic if you use a heat pump can keep your mechanical equipment in good working order and help prolong its life. It also greatly reduces the risk if you ending up in an emergency situation by surprise. A professional firm should be able to leave you with an inspection report showing the appliance’s key performance measures, and even before and after photos. Many also offer the option to pay for this monthly rather than lump sum when the service is performed – and offer a nice discount when you choose to pay this way. Be sure to ask your contractor about preventive maintenance plans today and protect your investment –and your family’s warmth – this winter!

United Way Last Resort Fund

Since 1933, the Cornwall Kinsmen Club has raised funds through a range of activities and invested these funds in order to meet the Community’s Greatest Needs. These needs change from year to year and thus we adjust the flow of funds accordingly. To assist us in our strategic process we have identified 7 broad categories:

• Relief of Poverty;

• Advancement of Education;

• Culture and the Arts;

• Health and Welfare;

• Enhancement of Youth;

• Enhancement of Public Security and;

• Community Service.

Each year, a strategic planning process is undertaken to determine the levels of funding that would be allocated to each of these broad categories. All community applications received are reviewed by members of the Cornwall Kinsmen Club and charitable donations are determined. Groups may still submit requests during the year for consideration – application form is available on our

web site

Today’s donation of $ 15,000 to the SD&G United Way falls under the relief of poverty thrust of our strategy. Generally, this includes organizations that demonstrate that their programs and services assist those who are: in financial need; distressed or suffering as a result of their financial cir cumstances; or experiencing economic disadvantage.

This donation to the Last Resort Program will support the SD& G United Way to keep people in their homes by providing hydro, utility or rent arrears, to house people by providing first and last month’s rent and to acknowledge and respond to special needs that may arise.

SD & G United Way has a mission to improve lives and build community. Their vision is to respond to the community’s needs through progressive, evolving and informative actions. Their values provide the philosophical foundation for all that they do, collectively and individually, with their

You’ll be pressed for time and unable to put off specific tasks any longer. You’ll be responsible for emergencies and important files at work, which will help boost your career.

Leo Doucet NEWS FROM THE SQUARE

FOOD COURT – TO – FOOD HALL, THE WORK HAS BEGUN!

Did you know that the contractors began their work on Monday evening only to be stopped in their tracks by a structural issue that took 3 days to resolve, and the framing of the archway got underway on Thursday night.

You should know that the contractors pushed back the start of the hoarding wall of the current food court seating area 1 week until Monday January 23rd to create a barrier between the contractors and the food court customers.

Did you know that during the renovation period, trays will not be available for dine in customers use, all food orders will be

With Appreciation:

I moved from Montreal to Cornwall on Sec. 27, 2022. I went to Canadian Tire on Jan. 3, 2023 with my sister. It was the first time going to this store. I saw a female saleswoman on the floor and we asked her if she could help us find a portable cupboard. She came from her area and took us to the right dept. How lucky for us that we met Leona. She was so kind and patient. She took the time to speak with many of the staff, including the manager, cashier, assembly and delivery team and made our purchase happen.

Leona should be recognized for the wonderful care she gives to her clients and her dedication to her job. KUDOS

You need to know that on Monday morning, January 23rd , a week later than planned, Food Court customers will have a NEW location to sit an enjoy their meal and conversation. The former Labels store is being converted into the temporary Food Court seating area and at the same time, we will create a small “patio” area along the exterior storefront with seating for an additional 8 customers.

Did you know that Bayshore Health Care will be here at Cornwall Square , on Thursday, January 26, 2023, holding a Bayshore Health Care Awareness Day as well as a fundraiser for the Maison Baldwin House on the main level in the mall’s East Court in front of Dollarama and Shoppers Drug Mart.

Remember, in 2023. Shop local, Shop indoors, Shop the Square, and support your local merchants that make up Cornwall’s retail sector.

No crying towels here…get off the couch and get back to work!

How is it that a small business has to close and sell because they cant find part-time workers within their communities?

Why is the Campbell Street call centre parking lot still empty? Time to get back to where you were hired to work!!

Pitt Street has a whole new look with the patio removed… looking forward to the rebuild!

I hope that we see many new stores opening after the food court renovation.

Good luck to the new owners of The Finch Market.

Aaron Goodvin live concert at Port Theatre

KRYSTINE THERRIAULT ktherriault@seawaynews.media

On February 8th, 2023, country chart-topper Aaron Goodvin is performing at Cornwall’s Port Theatre with CCMA Award-winning singer Hailey Benedict as special guest. The show is just one stop on Goodvin’s first Canadian headline tour, starting on January 20th in Lloydminster, AB with shows in Alberta, Saskatchewan, PEI and Ontario.

Singer/songwriter Aaron Goodvin has had two critically acclaimed albums, two Number One singles, several Top 10s, a 2018 CCMA Songwriter of the Year Award, a 2020 JUNO Award nomination for Country Album of the Year, and a tour with Rascal Flatts.

Goodvin grew up in Alberta but has lived in Nashville for 11 years. While he has toured Canada in the past, he says he has not spent a lot of time in Ontario. When asked if he had any pre-show rituals, Goodvin laughed, “We always listen to End of the Road by Boyz II Men; something a little different than what we are going to go out and play.”

As far as influences go, Aaron grew up listening to country music and was inspired by music from the 90s on including Bryan White, Clay Walker, and Tracy Byrd.

“It’s The Ride” is the title of the headlining tour, and Goodvin recently announced that during the tour they will release a new song with that name.

“This is my first headlining tour, so I really wanted to take that opportunity to tell people about my ride, if that makes sense,” said Goodvin. The new song will be a duet with friend and fellow country artist, Ryan Kinder.

“I’ve never been to Cornwall. I’m excited to see what all the fuss is about. [This tour] is kind of a dream come true for me. 12-year-old me would be freaking out because my name is at the top of the ticket,” Goodvin shared, “This is a cool tour for me because I have that opportunity.”

Congratulations to Dr. Lee on being awarded a fellowship in the American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics (AAIP)!

Depuis 15 ans, un partenariat de l’Hôpital aide les patients locaux à cesser de fumer

Le 16 janvier 2023 – En cette édition de la Semaine nationale sans fumée, l’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall (HCC) célèbre les 15 ans d’un partenariat avec le Modèle d’Ottawa pour l’abandon du tabac de l’Institut de cardiologie de l’Université d’Ottawa (ICUO).

En 2002, les spécialistes de l’abandon du tabac de l’ICUO ont développé le Modèle d’Ottawa pour l’abandon du tabac (MOAT), soit un programme institutionnel dont l’objectif est de repérer de façon systématique les patientes et les patients pour leur proposer un traitement et un programme de suivi dans le cadre de soins courants. EN 2006, l’ICUO a commencé à appuyer la mise en œuvre du MOAT par d’autres centres hospitaliers et établissements de consultation externe et de soins de santé primaires.

Depuis la mise en place du MOAT à l’HCC en février 2008, un nombre impressionnant de 12 000 fumeuses et fumeurs a été joint au moyen de consultations personnalisées. Ces personnes ont tiré profit des pratiques exemplaires en matière de traitement de la dépendance tabagique, dont la thérapie de remplacement de la nicotine. Aujourd’hui, on estime que 4 500 patients locaux ont cessé de fumer grâce à l’appui obtenu par l’entrem-

ise du MOAT pendant leur séjour à l’HCC.

« Le tabagisme demeure une cause principale de maladie évitable et de décès prématuré au Canada, explique le médecin-chef de l’Hôpital de Cornwall, le Dr Anastasios Boubalos. Le tabagisme entraîne un nombre incalculable de problèmes de santé menant couramment à l’hospitalisation, comme les maladies cardiovasculaires, les maladies respiratoires et de nombreux types de cancer. Cependant, l’abandon du tabac, quel que soit l’âge, est associé à des taux nettement inférieurs de réhospitalisation et de décès. Nous sommes fiers de faire progresser notre partenariat de collaboration avec l’ICUO afin d’offrir des soutiens efficaces pour cesser de fumer à nos patients dépendant du tabac, augmentant ainsi leurs chances de rétablissement et de vivre en santé à long terme. »

« C’est réjouissant de constater le leadership de l’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall pour s’attaquer au tabagisme, la principale cause de maladie évitable et de décès, en faisant appel au Modèle d’Ottawa, a dit le Dr Andrew Pipe, le coconcepteur de ce modèle et le spécialiste canadien le plus en vue de l’abandon du tabac. L’Hôpital fait preuve d’un leadership bien distinct depuis 15 ans et

constitue un exemple pour les hôpitaux ontariens et au-delà quant à la prestation de soins préventifs exceptionnels. Nous sommes particulièrement fiers d’en être partenaires depuis ce temps et d’apprendre de son expérience. »

Le MOAT est également offert en tant que programme communautaire par l’entremise du Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario pour les résidents locaux qui ne sont pas hospitalisés, non inscrits auprès d’un fournisseur de soins de santé ou qui n’ont pas facilement accès à un traitement et à du soutien visant l’abandon du tabac. Le programme comprend une

consultation téléphonique, l’inscription à un programme de bons concernant la thérapie de remplacement de la nicotine, des produits pendant six semaines à cette fin, obtenus par la poste, ainsi qu’un suivi de six mois. Pour participer au programme, composez le 1-888645-5405 et indiquez vos coordonnées dans la boîte vocale.

Les résidentes et les résidents aux prises avec une dépendance à la consommation de substances peuvent obtenir des traitements par l’entremise des Services communautaires de santé mentale et de dépendances de l’HCC en consultant le www.accessmha.ca/fr-ca.

Comment combattre la déprime hivernale

Geneviève Desrochers Mental

Health Matters

CMHA CHAMPLAIN EAST

Oui, l’hiver est arrivé au Canada et avec lui viennent les bottes mouillées, le ciel gris et la neige à pelleter. Cette période de l’année peut être difficile pour certains d’entre nous. Avez-vous l’impression que votre humeur s’apparente aux fluctuations météorologiques? Si oui, vous n’êtes pas le seul.

Alors que la saison hivernale apporte à certaines personnes des pensées joyeuses associées au chocolat chaud et aux sports d’hiver amusants, elle a tendance à répandre le cafard hivernal chez certains d’entre nous à cette période de l’année.

Savez-vous ce qu’est la déprime hivernale ou le blues de l’hiver ?

Le blues de l’hiver ou la déprime hivernale, c’est une vague d’émotions négatives qui nous envahit en ces jours froids et sombres.

Si vous vivez une déprime hivernale, il est possible que vous ressentiez le besoin de dormir un peu plus longtemps, que vous vous gâtiez avec des aliments réconfortants plus souvent que d’habitude et que vous passiez plus de temps à regarder des émissions de télévision qu’être avec vos proches.

Vous avez peut-être entendu parler du trouble affectif saisonnier (TAS), mais la déprime hivernale et le TAS sont bien différents.

Voici la différence entre la déprime hivernale et le trouble affectif saisonnier :

Environ 15 % des Canadiens souffrent de la déprime hivernale, alors que 2 à 3 % seulement sont touchés par le TAS[1].

Le TAS est un état dépressif qui se produit régulièrement pendant l’hiver[2] et qui peut nuire à la vie quotidienne d’une personne. Le traitement peut comprendre la luminothérapie, le counseling, des médicaments ou une combinaison des trois. Un professionnel de la santé peut vous aider à déterminer si vous souffrez d’un TAS.

Vous vous demandez peut-être ce que vous pouvez faire pour améliorer ou maintenir votre humeur cet hiver.

Voici quelques suggestions :

Laissez entrer la lumière : Si vous le pouvez, essayez de faire une promenade à l’extérieur ou de pratiquer un sport d’hiver pendant la journée. Lorsque vous êtes à

l’intérieur, gardez vos rideaux ouverts et essayez de passer le plus de temps possible près des fenêtres. La lumière du jour peut contribuer à améliorer votre humeur, même si le ciel est nuageux.

Faites de l’exercice : Même si vous n’avez pas envie d’aller au gym, n’oubliez pas que faire de l’activité physique est toujours bon pour vous aider à gérer votre santé mentale. Allez-y une petite étape à la fois. Même une promenade à l’extérieur à l’heure du lunch peut être bénéfique.

Essayez de respecter un horaire de sommeil normal : Vous avez peut-être l’impression que votre lit est le meilleur endroit pour combattre le blues de l’hiver. Cependant, le sommeil excessif peut en fait aggraver les symptômes de la déprime hivernale.

Donnez-vous une tape dans le dos : vous vous en sortez très bien

Combattre la déprime hivernale n’est pas facile. N’oubliez pas qu’il est important d’être bienveillant.e envers vous-même. Vous êtes plus fort que vous ne le pensez !

Veillez à être régulièrement à l’écoute de vous-même et à consacrer du temps supplémentaire pour prendre soin de vous si nécessaire.
