The day will start with a FREE pancake breakfast from 8am -10:30 at the Cornwall Civic Complex, Salon B. The pancakes, prepared by Kinsmen members, will be a great start to the day, enjoyed by all the family. FREE Public Skating will follow from 10am-noon at Ed Lumley arena. Everyone welcomed to enjoy the family skate. Then from 1pm -2pm, FREE family swim at the Aquatic Center. Everyone welcomed.

“The Kinsmen Club of Cornwall continues to help local families in our area, and every year

we hold a day of kindness to support them” says Kinsmen president Claude Legault, “Kin Rick and his team really enjoy setting up and doing this day, so we hope as many people as possible take advantage of a family fun outing to the complex.”

“This is what Kinsmen is all about,” say Past Presidents Robin McIntosh and Rick Shaver, “Serving our community for over 90 years is what has made Kinsmen a recognizable name and doing events like this brings our whole club out to celebrate with our great families. We are lucky to have the civic complex where we can host events like Family Day, 3 events, one building.” Further information can be asked at cornwallkinsmen@gmail.com

How to get the most out of your doctor’s visit

Visiting your doctor can be stressful, mainly because your time is limited. Communicating effectively with your doctor is essential to preventative medicine and maintaining good health, especially as you age.

Here’s how to get the most out of your doctor’s visit.

1. PREPARE YOUR QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS

Write down three or four questions or concerns ahead of time. Address each point with your doctor. You should also share any symptoms, medicines or vitamins you’re taking, health habits and significant life changes.

2. STAY FOCUSED

Don’t let the conversation get derailed. Stay focused on why you’re there and stick to the point. Be precise about your symptoms, including when they started, how often they occur and if they’re getting worse.

3. TAKE NOTES AND ASK FOR CLARIFICATION

Bring a notepad and write things down. Don’t be afraid to ask for clarification, correct spelling or reference materials.

4. BE HONEST

Although you may want to hide the truth about habits like smoking, lack of exercise or poor diet, your

doctor can only help you if you share the truth about your lifestyle.

5. SHARE FEELINGS

Say something if you feel rushed, con-fu-sed or uncomfortable. Book another appointment if your doctor didn’t adequately address your needs in the time you had. If your doctor doesn’t have answers, they may refer you to a specialist.

If your doctor disregards your concerns as part of the normal aging process, you should consider getting a second opinion.

ANNUAL SNOWSHOE RACE AT SUMMERSTOWN TRAILS

FRIENDS OF THE SUMMERSTOWN TRAILS

Summerstown, ON – The Friends of the Summerstown Trails (FOTST) are happy to announce that they will be organizing their annual Snowshoe Race this coming Saturday, February 11.

The annual Summerstown Forest Dion Snowshoe Race (7.7 km) is part of the Dion Ontario Snowshoe Running Series which is held in various locations in Eastern Ontario and will be the fourth race of the season for the race Series. In addition to local runners, this race attracts runners from the Ottawa, Kingston and Montreal areas.

Race director, Gilles Parisien, is very pleased with the number of registrations so far, hoping that more local runners will come out and fill in the field. “The course takes participants through varied terrain, through conifers, hardwood and even swamp areas. And all of this over the rolling terrain of the Summerstown Forest. It’s a great experience” said Gilles, himself an experienced snowshoe race runner.

As was the case in the last few years, a second shorter race will be offered at the same time: the Summerstown Forest Challenge Race (4.4 km); this shorter race is designed to attract more local recreational runners and younger racers. Participants in both races are usually split evenly between male and female runners.

“The trails are in great shape. The base

is firm and the expected mild weather during the days preceding the race will not affect them,” added FOTST President Vic Leroux.

The start of both races is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Saturday, February 11. Race director Gilles Parisien declared the Summerstown Trails course to be one of the best in the race series.

For more information and to register for the race, please visit the FOTST website at www.summerstowntrails.com.

DANCING WITH THE CCH STARS

Meet (and pledge!) Andrew Bissonnette & Robin Barillaro

SPONSORED BY

CORNWALL KINSMEN CLUB

What we do at CCH:

Andrew & Robin: We both work as Registered Nurses in CCH’s ICU, as well as being members of the rapid response team that helps patients throughout the hospital experiencing life threatening emergencies like heart attacks and stroke.

We know and attend to every need our patients have at their bedsides, from administering lifesaving medications to providing them with an extra blanket if they’re cold. We’re there for them in crisis, we advocate for their wellbeing, we hold their hands when they’re crying, and we’re their family when they’re alone. We root for them; we hope for them; we care for them. It’s who we are and what we do.

A little about us …

Andrew & Robin: We both went to Holy Trinity Highschool and St. Lawrence College here in Cornwall. Now, we’re both faculty members at St. Lawrence College’s School of Nursing, and we work together in the ICU. Our paths have crossed in so many ways for so many years, but it wasn’t until 2021 that we started dating. Now, we live together with our two dogs, Oakley and Willow, in Cornwall. We’re passionate about our city’s development over the years and eventually we’d like to raise a family here. Maybe all this time, without knowing it, we were meant to be.

Robin: I grew up in Alexandria but spent a lot of time in Cornwall. As a teenager I became very involved in community theatre – our local

production of West Side Story at Aultsville Hall was a highlight for me. Being on stage brings back good memories and I’m looking forward to our performance at Dancing with the CCH Stars on March 4!

Andrew: I’ve never danced before. Growing up, it was hockey in the winter, golf in the summer, and every sport in between. Let’s face it, we’re both competitive. I’m taking my cues from Robin and trying to be the best partner I can be. With hard work, maybe we can win the whole thing!

Andrew & Robin: CCHF contributed ten lessons to each team, but we decided to take things up a notch and we’ve been practicing once a week with Alanna at Studio C. It’s nice to do something outside of work as a couple. This has been a great way to spend quality time together.

Why are we dancing for CCH?

Andrew & Robin: Participating in Dancing with the CCH Stars is a great way to give back to our hospital and community without picking up another shift. We work a lot – especially during hard times, and we feel we need to be there for our patients, our teams, our

community. As we’ve seen, especially during the pandemic on the ICU, essential medical equipment provides frontline workers with the tools we need to save lives. Government funding doesn’t cover all the equipment we need, so we’re ready to dance and fundraise to make a difference.

Our project:

We’re fundraising and dancing to win $50,000 in equipment upgrades for our team in the ICU.

Our project offers a combination of equipment to help us care for our patients on the unit, including:

• A new bedside cardiac monitor.

• A carbon dioxide module add-on to help us monitor our patients’ vital signs.

• A triple channel infusion pump to deliver fluids, nutrients, or medications to our patients.

Please consider pledging us in our efforts to support local healthcare. CCHF will provide an official charitable receipt for any donation over $20 that contributes to our fundraising.

SVTC Presents the Sound of Music

The Seaway Valley Theatre Company has been busy preparing for their major musical production of the 2022/2023 season, “The Sound of Music.”

Featuring a trove of cherished songs, “The Sound of Music” has won the hearts of audiences worldwide, earning five Tony Awards and five Oscars. The inspirational story, based on the memoir of Maria Augusta Trapp, follows a cheerful aspiring nun who serves as governess to the seven children of the imperious Captain von Trapp, bringing music and joy to the household. But as the forces of Nazism take hold of Austria, Maria and the entire von Trapp family must make a moral decision.

The show is produced by SVTC vice-president Christiane Taylor and newcomer Shirley Robertson, a member of the SVTC’s marketing committee. Sitting in the director’s chair for his first big musical production is longtime SVTC member Corey Disotell, who has directed several of the company’s previous shows, including “Elf the Musical JR.,” “Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary

Poppins JR.,” and “Nana’s Naughty Knickers.”

“I picked this show because its a beloved classic,” Disotell shared, “So many people have watched the movie version and are familiar with the songs. This show promises to entertain individuals of all ages.”

Returning as Musical Director is Elizabeth Caddell, who previously led the band for the company’s productions of “Mamma Mia!” and “Nunsense.” And making her SVTC début as choreographer is Amanda Marini-Rohde, who is well known to both Cornwall’s dance community as a performer and viewers of YourTV Cornwall as a host.

“The Sound of Music” will be staged at the Aultsville Theatre, 2 St. Lawrence Drive, Cornwall, on select dates and times from February 17 to 25.

For more information, visit www.svtc.ca/ thesoundofmusic and the Seaway Valley Theatre Company’s Facebook page. Be sure to also follow the hashtag #SVTCSoundOfMusic on social media.

needs of the City.

Prior to joining the City, Ms. Vanier worked for a local engineering consulting firm, EFI Engineering, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Queen’s University.

“I am very grateful for this opportunity provided to me by the City,” Vanier told Seaway News, “Over the course of my career at the City as well as in the private sector, I’ve been very blessed to work with and learn from many talented people. I am looking forward to the challenge and continuing to work alongside our talented team to deliver effective infrastructure for the City.”

2023 Cornwall and Area Job Fair and Community Connections

KRYSTINE THERRIAULT

ktherriault@seawaynews.media

This year’s Cornwall and Area Job Fair and Community Connections event will take place on Wednesday, March 29th from 10am to 1pm and from 3pm to 6pm. The event will be held at the Civic Complex in Salons A, B, and C. Registration for employers opened this week and will remain open until March 1st. Even though it’s still early, Executive Director of the Social Development Council of Cornwall & Area, Carilyne Hébert, told Seaway News that at least 25 employers have registered, and they expect 50 or more by the time registration closes. “So far, we have a great cross sector of employers already registered, from healthcare to industrial to manufacturing to the service industry, so

there’s going to be something for everybody,” Hébert said. One big difference from previous years is that the Social Development Council is inviting service providers that specifically serve newcomers. Some service providers already participate and provide services to the community in general, like JobZone, GIAG, and EOTB. “We’re going to include service providers that are specific to newcomers, so it’s kind of a one-stop shop where they can come and learn about services specific to them and leave with a job,” explained Hébert. Job seekers are encouraged to mark their calendars and come by the 2023 Job Fair to meet with many local employers. Last year, 500 people walked through the doors of the job fair and there were at least 500 jobs available in that one day.

So, what’s up with all the shelter secrecy?

Claude McIntosh MAC’S MUSINGS

Under a thick veil of secrecy, Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship has partnered with the new owner of the Ramada Inn on Brookdale Avenue to transform the hotel into a temporary shelter for asylum seekers.

The hotel was purchased by a numbered Toronto-based company several weeks ago. With-in days of the sale, the feds had a deal with the new owner to use the hotel to house folks – some entire families - crossing the Quebec-New York State border with little more than the clothes on their backs and a suitcase.

Incredibly, the people who should have known about the set-up were kept in the dark by the feds.

Did the department’s public relations hacks not come back to work after the Christmas/ New Year’s break?

Nobody at city hall was told despite the fact busing more asylum seekers to the city will have a huge impact on social and health services.

There’s a less concerning issue of dozens of hotel rooms being taken out of the mix and loss of accommodation tax revenue for the city.

MP Eric Duncan said he started to hear rumours of the hotel being turned into a temporary shelter but had to do some digging to find out what was going on.

The feds seem to have taken the approach that hey city, it’s your problem. Deal with it!

And, if what the New York Post reported this week continues, staging areas such as Cornwall may need more centres to contend with the flood of humanity expected to increase when the warmer weather arrives.

New York City has been overwhelmed by the crush of illegals shipped to the Big Apple by Texas. According to The Post, 40,000 illegals are being housed in NYC hotels and shelters with more arriving every day.

To take pressure off American’s biggest city, the state ripped a page from the Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s playbook. The Post reported that the state is offering all illegal takers a free bus ride to the Quebec/New York State border. A photo in The Post shows folks boarding Adirondack Trails buses. Several of those boarding the buses said they did not feel safe in crime-ridden New York City and looked to a better future in Canada, so jumped at the chance to cross another border.

Post readers had some interesting

comments. Keep in mind that folks who read The Post are cut from a different cloth than say Washington Post or New York Times readers.

One of the more thoughtful comments was from a reader who said he had entered the United States legally, meaning he went through all the red tape, a process that took almost two years. The reader wondered, quite correctly, why “line jumpers” were being fasttracked. New Canadians, who navigated the legal route, could be asking the same question.

That was one of the nicer comments accompanying the on-line story.

Here is a sampling of other comments:

It’s scary when people from El Salvador are fleeing New York because there’s too much crime.

Leaving New York (City). Who wouldn’t?

Forget the illegals, let’s put the politicians on the buses.

Somebody suggested a Go-Fund Me page to help ship more “guests” to the Canadian border.

Another said the free-bus-ride-to-Canada was a “good start.”

So, now said another, the U.S. is funding an invasion of Canada. Does this mean war?

Guess they (illegals) haven’t heard about the homeless crisis “up there” (aka Canada).

This from a not-a-Justin Bieber fan: Can we put Justin Bieber on one of those buses to Canada?

Somebody said good on the illegals who took the bus-to-Canada offer, noting that there’s very little crime in Canada and free health care for all residents. Plus, plenty of better paying jobs.

There were a few shots at our prime minister.

Perhaps remembering that Trudeau the Elder had a fondness for a Cuban dictator, he was referred to as Justin Castro.

Somebody speculated that Trudeau will make sure all the new arrivals get a free bag of weed from his government.

FEBRUARY 1971 – This was the last term for Grade 11 and 12 classes at St. Raphael’s Academy in St. Raphael’s. It also meant the end of student boarders who accounted for 64 of the 141 students. Grades 11 and 12 had been part of the school since 1914. It would continue Grades 9 and 10 with day students. ... Van Leishout Const. Was given the contract for the first phase of the downtown urban renewal project. The contractor had the winning bid of $5,000 to demolish the old fire department garage along with buildings at 330 to 334 Pitt St. And 13 Third St. W. ... Anne Pescod, 18-year-old Cornwall Collegiate

student, was crowned Queen of Frostbite ‘71, the city high school winter carnival. Runner-up was Colette Duhamel, 17, of St. Lawrence High School. ... Stormont MPP Fern Guindon was named tourism minister. ... Rookie Blair MacDonald scored two goals to help Cornwall Royals defeat Drummondville Rangers 6-3. Brian McCullough, Mike Renaud, Mark Smith and Bob Murphy also scored. It was just the 13th win of the season for Royals, last in the 10-team league. .... Anchor Motel Mavericks won the Cornwall Minor Hockey International Bantam Tournament, beating Brampton Kodiaks 2-0. Goalie Rene Desrosiers was named the tournament’s top goalie, giving up just five goals in six games. Chico Ouellette and Denis Fortier had the Cornwall goals. Mavericks coach Ford Markell was named the tournament’s top coach. ... The city budget called for a property tax increase. A house with a $5,000 assessment

(average for the city) would pay an additional $30. This didn’t include the education tax. ... A provincially-funded winter tree-cutting program aimed at providing much needed jobs for city and United Counties residents was under way with 400 men – drawn from the unemployment and welfare rolls - hired on.

I can’t help smiling while reading Duncan’s column in the Seaway News issue of 25 January 2023. It was a classic example of fallacy in argument. I would appreciate it very much if someone could distinguish whether it was fear-mongering or attacking the straw man.

In his desire to protect gun ownership Duncan wants us to believe that Trudeau and the Liberals are not targeting the real criminals but are really after the “hunters, farmers and indigenous people”. Either he is creating a false fear or a straw man to conveniently attack. But is it really true? I think it is only a figment of Duncan’s imagination. I won’t be surprised if one of his favourite songs is “Happiness Is A Warm Gun”.

He also said “there is a direct correlation

to soft-crime policies and the increase in violent crime” but didn’t care to mention the source of the study.

I didn’t know until after I have read his column that Trudeau and his party mates are manning the Canadian border. Hear ye, hear ye border patrols. Duncan says that you’re not doing your job. There’s a proliferation of guns in Canada coming from outside the borders. His words were “The Liberals have failed to stop the flow of illegal guns from coming across the US border”. I wonder what our American friends are going to say about this.

Poor Brampton. It’s now carrying the stigma of harbouring criminals. That’s Duncan’s insinuation in his column. Well, it may be just a figure of speech but the name lingers.

This is MY Story

Just as there are always several factors that cause a disaster, it also takes far more than one to achieve success. That’s cer tainly been true in my case. This is my account of how I became the absolutely best dog ever.

To begin with, I had the right roots; a background from a prize-winning lineage, the best breed for the purpose of being best pet ever. Don’t expect a dachshund to win a race, nor a chihuahua to herd sheep, nor a Newfoundland to fit into an Austin Mini.

An American Eskimo miniature, my ancestral roots were in the Spitz breed. I had gorgeous long, thick white fur, cute pointed ears, twinkly black eyes and black muzzle, with a dense insulating undercoat and a feathery up-curled tail that rested on my back.

An American Eskimo sheds only once a year, starting January 1, ending December 31.

BOUNDLESS ENERGY – Run, run, run…yet when it came time to cuddle, that’s all I wanted to do. ON/OFF: nothing in between.

not American.

To land in the right home, you need a perceptive and active human agent. This is how Joyce Pal sidled up to Nick after he had done an interview with another breeder.

“I also have a very special dog.”

In response, Nick teased her, “Well isn’t that nice! My last dog died recently, so I just might be interested.”

My ancestors became famous for their amazing agility with the Barnum and Bailey Circus in the 1930s. I became rather famous for my ability to differentiate between vowels and consonants.

This is how our routine went. Nick would place a tasty morsel right in front of me, saying, “We’re going to do the VowelConsonant Thing. Only if you hear a vowel

can you have it.” Then he’d saunter to the opposite side of the room. I just stared, drooling, and listened.

He’d slowly utter, “B…R…F…T…Z…E” Instantly, I’d devour my reward. Nobody could ever understand this. I was not given any training. No gestures were given as prompts. I just did it: A, E, I, O and U.

Creative & Production Services, 100 Yonge St., 5th Floor, Toronto ON, M5C

The most endearing feature to my human was my famous American Eskimo smile, which showed my sweet disposition. The only justification for calling me an ‘American Eskimo’ is that I looked much like an Arctic fox, but I have German heritage, definitely

This was her winning spiel: “From your weekly columns, I know that you travel, you canoe, go flying and meet many people. As soon as you take this little girl home, you’ll have to do those things with her.” His interest was piqued, so off he went to see me. It was love at first sight, one that lasted all twelve of our years together.

Maxville Hockey Hero Opens the 2023 Games

GLENGARRY HIGHLAND GAMES

This summer at the 2023 Glengarry Highland Games there might be as many hockey jerseys as kilts in the audience when the Games welcomes John Wensink as Guest of Honour. Wensink joins an illustrious group of Canadian celebrities who have filled that role including Prime Ministers, a Governor General, an astronaut and other noted Canadian figures. Games President Eric Metcalfe relates, “We are so pleased that our Maxville lad, John Wensink, will offi cially open the Games this year. Just like the Glengarry Highland Games puts Maxville on the map for Scottish events, John put Maxville on the map by making it to the NHL.”

Although John Wensink retired from the NHL in 1983, his name and legend are still familiar to most people in this area and the hockey world at large. Born April 1, 1953 in Pincher Creek, Alberta to Dutch immigrants, George Wensink & Nellie Bleyenberg, John Wensink and his family moved to Maxville when he was two. Hockey soon became Wensink’s life as he moved from Youth to Junior B to Junior A hockey teams ending up with the Cornwall Royals and was part of that unforgettable team when they won the Memorial Cup in 1972. Drafted in 1973 to the St. Louis Blues, he soon moved to the Boston Bruins after a two year recovery from major back injuries. In Boston, he played on two Stanley Cup finals in 1976/77 and 1977/78. In total, he played 10 years in the NHL with stops in St. Louis, Boston, Quebec, Colorado and New Jersey totaling 403 games, notching 70 goals and 68 assists, while also amassing a whopping 840 penalty minutes.

He also played one year in the Netherlands after his NHL retirement in 1983.Wensink was a tough player respected by his teammates and coaches and was a favourite of fans with his afro hairstyle, Fu Manchu moustache and his antics as on-ice enforcer. During his period with Boston under coach Don Cherry, he made himself unforgettable for fans by challenging the entire Minnesota North Stars bench at a game in the Boston

Gardens.

After retirement Wensink ran a renovation company in St Charles, Missouri and has been involved in coaching budding NHLers in Missouri resulting in five first round picks. John has been involved for 36 years bringing the Missouri Peewee team to the Quebec International Tournament. John also ran a summer hockey school right here in Maxville for a number of years. John has been inducted into the St. Louis Amateur Hockey Hall of Fame in 2011 and the Glengarry Sports Hall of Fame in 1990. The Children Treatment Centre in Cornwall roasted long time supporter John in 2013 and raised over $15000 that night that included a surprise visit by Don Cherry. John lives on a 670 acre ranch in Fredericktown, Missouri with his wife, Rhonda. His children, daughters Jaclyn and Katelyn, son-in-law Brian and grandchildren, Jack, Taylor and Jonas live nearby. Currently, although retired from the game, John Wensink continues to play hockey in a Sunday night men’s league.

The 2023 Glengarry Highland Games will be held August 4 and 5th in Maxville, Ontario. The Official Ceremonies with Guest of Honour, John Wensink, take place at noon hour on Saturday, August 5th.

Our local Food Basics stores have once again supported the Agape Centre through their Out of Reach initiative. The Out of Reach initiative matches every $2 donation with a Food Basics gift card of the same value for local foodbanks. Thanks to the generous community $17,569.00 was raised to stock the shelves of the foodbank.

Service Club Council Annual Banquet

KRYSTINE THERRIAULT ktherriault@seawaynews.media

On February 2nd, 2023, the Service Club Council held their annual banquet dinner at the ANAF Unit 342 in Cornwall.

The yearly event celebrates the great work that the 14-member service clubs do for our community, including sponsoring the Santa Clause Parade and distributing over 1,400 food hampers for the 2022 holiday season.

The Service Club Council banquet also marks the swearing in of the new President, with each President serving a one-year term on a rotating basis. For the 2023 year, Katie Burke replaces Daniel Youmelle as President of the Service Club Council. Tom Wallace assumes the position of Vice President, Terry Muir as Secretary, and Marvin Plumadore joins the council as Treasurer.

Eat Your Words

John Towndrow Transition Cornwall+

Last month I wondered what people were doing in their daily lives to be “part of the solution” to the climate crisis that could provide some inspiration for us all.

To rise to the challenge, first and foremost we will need to live consciously – that means putting a climate lens on the way we live our life and on the choices we make on a daily basis.

Since food is a major focus in our lives, lets look at how our food choices have a massive impact on our planet. Our global food system is responsible for more than one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions. Agriculture takes up a lot of land, destroys forests and other ecosystems so if we can reduce the impact of agriculture, it is a big win for the planet.

We have all heard of plant-based vegetarian and vegan diets, that not only reduce the carbon footprint, but are also healthier for us.

Now, there is a new concept as a response to the climate crisis, for which all of us need to take responsibility. It is called the “Climatarian Diet”, which is healthy, climate friendly and nature friendly. This diet avoids beef and lamb, but does allow pork, poultry, fish, dairy products and eggs. It encourages us to drastically cut down on meat overall, choose responsibly-produced and local meat where possible, avoid food waste and consume seasonal, local foods. Eating more locally-produced foods with lower meat content can drastically reduce food miles, which in turn reduces greenhouse gas emissions as well as providing many well-known health benefits. And growing our own food as much as possible checks all of the boxes above.

Climateq, a British based organization, dedicated to driving down energy consumption and carbon emissions reminds us that “…animal-based foods generally tend to have a higher carbon footprint than plant-based foods. CO2 emissions from most plant-based products are often 10 to 50 times lower than those from animal-based products. This is because farming, transport, and packaging requirements are usually less demanding for

“This annual event is a real joy to attend because it brings together people from all the different service clubs. The Service Club Council is a way for the service clubs to know what other service clubs are doing, collabor ate where they can, respect each other’s initiatives, and make sure that everything runs smoothly in the service club world,” explained Katie Burke.

Burke, who has been a member of the Sunrise Rotary Club of Cornwall for 25 years, said she likes to think there is a service club out there for everybody. It’s all about finding your service club and making your commun ity a better place to live, whether for kids, seniors, or the general population.

“As you can see, these are enthusiastic people,” said Burke, referring to the lively room, “They don’t get long faces and say,

these smaller products. More specifically, red meats are especially bad for the environment, with beef generating one of the highest carbon footprints by far due to heavy farming and land-based emissions.”

Climateq listed some of the key foods from highest to lowest, based on their carbon footprint (CO2e) which helps to put the choices into perspective:

Beef - 60kg CO2e per kg

Cheese - 21kg CO2e per kg

Poultry - 6kg CO2e per kg

Fish (Farmed) - 5kg CO2e per kg

Nuts - 0.3kg CO2e per kg

meetings. Volunteers are needed and people can contribute to a service club as much as they see fit.

This year’s guest speaker of the evening

The largest difference you can make in your diet to decrease your carbon footprint is by going ‘red meat and dairy-free’ (not totally meat-free) one day per week – then gradually introduce meatless days more often. Even one day per week would achieve the same difference in carbon emission as having a diet with zero food miles. So why not give it a try! We have all heard that we are in a time of crisis with climate change, so our future and that of our children depends on what we eat and these choices can make a huge difference. A good place to start for all of us is to aspire to be “climatarians.”

clubs need to target two key demographics: new Canadians and millennials.

The importance of having a secondary water intake

located next to the R.H. Saunders Power Dam. Water travels from Lake St. Lawrence through the pipe to the city’s water treatment plant. It should be noted that it’s all done through gravity!

In today’s world, we can often take certain important things for granted. Such is the case with water.

We simply turn the tap and out comes water — hot or cold. Yet it’s not by some miracle that we all have access to water. It’s all thanks to the city’s intricate water work system. It all starts at in a water intake pipe that’s

From there, it’s treated and then distributed throughout the whole city.

There’s only one little issue — this same intake pipe is 65 years old!

You’ve read that right. The issue at hand, as you may have guessed, is that if this same intake pipe was to break or even become clogged with ice, it would leave our city with about six hours of water.

PETER JOSEPH POIRIER

After that, there wouldn’t be anything left for the hospital, schools, stores or even your house. Not only that, but it would also mean that there wouldn’t be any way of fighting fires either.

That is why the City of Cornwall is currently working on building a secondary water intake for the water treatment plant.

As you may have guessed, it’s a pretty daunting task — so much so that it’s estimated that the project might take about 10 years to complete.

That’s because there needs to be several steps undertaken to make sure we get it right.

In loving memory of a dear son and brother, who passed away 9 years ago on February 11, 2014

No words I write can ever say how much we miss you every day. As time goes by, the loneliness grows. How we miss you, nobody knows. We think of you in silence. We often speak your name, but all we have are memories. We never stopped loving you. I’m sure we never will. Deep inside our hearts, you are with us still. We love and miss you so much DJ Love Mom & Dad & Meagan & Kade xo

OBITUARY

Dec.

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Dinah Nelson (nee Villeneuve). Dinah passed away peacefully at the St. Vincent’s Nursing Home in Halifax, Nova Scotia following a lengthy and courageous battle with Alzheimer’s. Dinah leaves behind her husband Peter, daughter Wendy Nelson and son Brent Nelson. She was the cherished grandmother of Matisse Nelson. Dear daughter of the late Joseph and Muriel Villeneuve (nee McDavid). Cherished sister of the late Joan (Bernie) MacDonald of Cornwall, Shirley (Guy) Lapensee of Ottawa, Gail (late Jean-Guy) Dugas of Cornwall and Linda (Laurier) Tranchemontagne of Cornwall. Her great smile and love of life will be also be missed by several nieces and nephews. Dinah graduated from St Lawrence Secondary School in 1956, and from St Joseph’s School of Nursing in Kingston ON. (Class 1959). She was a very caring and compassionate Registered Nurse. Dinah loved nature. She spent several winters skiing in the Laurentians. However, her favorite place was the cottage in River John NS. She would spend hours swimming great lengths in the cold waters of the Northumberland Straits, as well hours sailing their trimaran. Private services will be held by the family.

First and foremost are Geotechnical, Natural Heritage and Archaeological studies that need to be undertaken on two sites that are being eyed — the former Domtar site or an area near King Street.

Regardless of which spot is chosen, the city will need to build a deep pumping station of approximately 16 m underground. That’s to make sure that we minimize harm to aquatic plants and species as well as make sure that there is always enough water to pump even at the St. Lawrence River’s lowest water level.

Maggie Wheeler: A Violent

KRYSTINE THERRIAULT

ktherriault@seawaynews.media

Rating: 5 stars

For this month’s book review, I’m taking you all back to the early 2000s. A Violent End is Maggie Wheeler’s debut novel in the Lost Villages Series. It puts a spotlight on our local history – the building of the St. Lawrence Seaway – with a side of murder and mystery.

The story follows protagonist Farran Mackenzie, a university history professor who comes to the area after her mother’s death looking for clues to her parents’ past. Her digging causes a stir in the community, especially since her father’s remains were recently discovered in the St. Lawrence River, 40 years after the Lost Villages were flooded.

As someone who was born and raised in Cornwall, I knew of the Lost Villages, but what Wheeler does in this book is capture the feelings of the different generations who lived through it and were forced to relocate during this massive project.

This book is great for locals and newcomers who enjoy historical fiction and are

CLUB KINSMEN DE CORNWALL

Depuis 1933, le Cornwall Kinsmen Club a recueilli des fonds par le biais d’une série d’activités et a investi ces fonds afin de répondre aux besoins les plus importants de la communauté. Ces besoins changent d’année en année et nous ajustons donc le flux de fonds en conséquence. Pour nous aider dans notre processus stratégique, nous avons identifié 7 grandes catégories :

- Le soulagement de la pauvreté ;

- Promotion de l’éducation ;

- Culture et arts ;

- Santé et bien-être ;

- Amélioration de la jeunesse ;

- Amélioration de la sécurité publique et ;

- le service communautaire.

Chaque année, un processus de planification stratégique est entrepris pour déterminer les niveaux de financement qui seront alloués à chacune de ces grandes catégories. Toutes les demandes communautaires reçues sont examinées par les membres du Cornwall Kinsmen Club et les dons de charité sont déterminés. Les groupes peuvent toujours soumettre des demandes au cours de l’année pour examenle formulaire de demande est disponible sur

notre site Web.

Le don de 2 500 $ fait aujourd’hui au Centre Charles Emile Claude relève de la priorité stratégique de la sécurité publique. En général, cela inclut les organisations qui démontrent que leur objectif principal est de fournir des programmes pour l’amélioration de la sécurité publique au niveau de la communauté. Ces services sont généralement offerts à l’ensemble de la communauté.

Le don d’aujourd’hui permettra la création d’un parc récréatif portable. Le Centre Charles Emile Claude offre des activités physiques, récréatives, sociales, d’engagement communautaire, de développement intellectuel et plus encore aux aînés francophones de 50 ans et plus. Il opère à partir du 146b avenue Chevrier à Cornwall Ontario. Les fonds sont destinés à créer un parc récréatif portable sur le terrain vide de notre propriété.

Le Club Kinsmen souhaite remercier tous les supporters de la communauté qui rendent ces dons possibles. Les joueurs et les marchands de bingo télé, les participants à certains de nos événements (marché fermier de Kinsmen, soirée pizza) et nos autres événements de collecte de fonds.

La Semaine de sensibilisation aux troubles de l’alimentation aura lieu du 1er au 7 février 2023. Les Services de santé mentale pour les enfants et les jeunes (SSMEJ) de l’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall (HCC) s’emploient à mieux répondre aux besoins des jeunes d’ici qui ont des troubles alimentaires ou qui y sont à risque, ainsi qu’à améliorer leurs soins.

Puisque le nombre de jeunes à l’échelle canadienne et régionale qui veulent obtenir des traitements de santé mentale comprenant des troubles alimentaires s’est considérablement accru depuis le début de la pandémie de COVID19, le Bureau des services à la jeunesse (BSJ) a invité le personnel des SSMEJ à participer à une formation sur les troubles alimentaires par l’entremise d’Anchor Psychological Services.

La formation qui s’est déroulée au cours de la dernière année permet de veiller à ce que les cliniciens en santé mentale des SSMEJ de l’HCC soient bien informés et mieux outillés pour reconnaître des jeunes et des enfants de la région touchés par des troubles alimentaires, les comprendre, les évaluer et les traiter.

Si une cliente ou un client ayant des troubles alimentaires a besoin de soins plus avancés, les SSMEJ collaboreront étroitement avec le fournisseur de soins primaires et d’autres professionnels communautaires pour diriger cette personne vers le Centre hospitalier pour enfants de l’est de l’Ontario.

« Les familles locales peuvent se rassurer en sachant que les SSMEJ de l’Hôpital de Cornwall peuvent être leur premier point de contact et qu’ils sont prêts à fournir des services ou des aiguillages de qualité pour les enfants et les jeunes pouvant souffrir de maladie mentale comprenant des troubles alimentaires, explique la vice-présidente des Programmes communautaires de l’Hôpital de Cornwall, Christine

Penney. Nous sommes fiers d’adopter des mesures pour mieux répondre aux besoins de notre communauté durant la reprise à la suite de la pandémie de COVID-19. »

Selon le National Eating Disorder Information Centre, les troubles alimentaires sont des maladies mentales complexes comprenant des manifestations physiques. Bien des facteurs peuvent y contribuer, dont la génétique et la santé mentale ainsi que des facteurs culturels. Parmi les troubles de l’alimentation cliniques, mentionnons l’anorexie mentale, la boulimie, un trouble d’alimentation sélective et/ou d’évitement ainsi que la frénésie alimentaire. Bien que les troubles alimentaires soient graves et puissent mener à des complications mettant la vie en danger, ce sont aussi des maladies traitables.

Une étude récente a montré que le nombre de nouveaux cas diagnostiqués d’anorexie mentale ou d’anorexie mentale atypique chez les jeunes de 9 à 18 ans à l’échelle canadienne a augmenté de 60 % par rapport aux niveaux précédant la pandémie, tandis que les hospitalisations ont presque triplé, partiellement en raison de l’isolement accru et de la perturbation des services de soins primaires tout au long de la pandémie.

On trouvera davantage de renseignements et de ressources sur les troubles alimentaires, par exemple leurs signes et symptômes, sur le site du National Eating Disorder Information Centre au www.nedic.ca. Les familles locales peuvent être mises en contact avec des services gratuits de santé mentale pour les enfants et les jeunes près de chez elles afin d’aider à traiter les troubles alimentaires, y compris les SSMEJ de l’HCC, en visitant le www.1call1click. ca/fr/index.aspx.

Déclaration du service de Police de Cornwall

concernant les vols de véhicules à moteur

Dans tout l’est du Canada, on a constaté une augmentation importante des vols de véhicules à moteur haut de gamme. Cette tendance criminelle a touché de nombreux habitants de notre ville et le Service de police de Cornwall s’engage à prévenir le crime et à préserver les biens en perturbant les groupes criminels organisés qui opèrent dans notre communauté.

Depuis le 1er janvier 2022, 87 véhicules haut de gamme ont été déclarés volés. Grâce à des stratégies policières proactives, nos agents ont pu prévenir le vol de plusieurs autres véhicules en arrêtant 23 individus, qui font maintenant face à un total de 109 accusations criminelles. Nous soutenons également nos partenaires provinciaux d’application de la loi en Ontario et au Québec dans le but de perturber le crime organisé mondial impliqué dans le vol de véhicules à moteur.

L’engagement communautaire a grandement contribué à la prévention des vols de véhicules. “Notre personnel de première ligne a été très efficace dans ses interventions et ses enquêtes sur ces incidents. Nous apprécions le partenariat que nous avons avec notre communauté et nous encourageons vivement toute personne témoin d’une activité suspecte à la signaler immédiatement”, déclare le chef adjoint Vincent Foy.

Pour consulter la liste des 10 véhicules les plus volés au Canada ou en Ontario, visitez le lien suivant :

https://www.equiteassociation.com/ top-10-most-stolen-vehicles

Nous encourageons également les résidents à prendre des mesures préventives pour protéger leurs véhicules contre le vol. Voici quelques mesures préventives ;

- Si possible, garez le véhicule dans un garage verrouillé.

- Si vous avez plus d’un véhicule, garez le deuxième véhicule de moindre valeur bien à l’arrière de l’autre véhicule à moteur pour le bloquer dans votre entrée.

- Pensez à acheter un dispositif de verrouillage du volant ou un dispositif de verrouillage du port de diagnostic embarqué (OBD) (empêche les voleurs de reprogrammer le porte-clés du véhicule).

- Envisagez de laisser les clés dans un contenant qui bloque le signal de la télécommande sans clé, comme un sac Faraday.

- Ne laissez jamais vos clés à l’intérieur de votre véhicule ou sans surveillance.

- Verrouillez votre véhicule en tout temps.

- Envisagez l’achat d’un système de vidéosurveillance pour votre domicile.

- Inspectez régulièrement votre véhicule à la recherche d’éventuels dispositifs de repérage.

- Communiquez avec la police si vous remarquez une activité suspecte dans votre quartier au 613-933-5000, poste 2418.

Toute personne ayant des renseignements pouvant aider la police est également invitée à communiquer avec nous ou à les signaler à Échec au crime au 1-800-222-TIPS/ seawayvalleycrimestoppers.ca.
