St. Lawrence River Cleanup seeks volunteers Alycia Douglass alycia.douglass@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - Following the success of last year’s River Cleanup, planning is currently underway for their second cleanup project.

Last season’s venture pulled a total of over 12 tons of garbage from the depths of the St. Lawrence River. Hoping to top last year’s feat, the Upper St. Lawrence River Protection Network have made some big changes to this year’s cleanup plan.

Toronto-based TerraCycle specializes in recycling typically non-recyclable waste, and will facilitate the new objective to recycle as much as possible.

“They’re able to take all the plastic bottles and turn them into park benches,” said Karen Douglass Cooper, Communications Specialist at the River Institute. “We’re also planning on approaching local artists to create a sculpture with our best pieces of metal.”

Douglass Cooper says that while they can certainly look forward to more garbage coming out of the river, the River Institute is currently considering some more proactive ways to tackle the issue. Specifically, they’re hoping to play a role in educating youth about environmental causes.

“I think there’s a real need for it,” said Douglass Cooper. “We were able to find a bunch of common teaching points on curriculum, and we’re hoping we can go into schools with message.”

While education may provide the tools for better river health in the future, right now, the

Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry (SD&G) Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers are currently at the scene of a two (2) vehicle collision on County Road 31 (north of Winchester Springs), North Dundas Township.

Preliminary investigation has indicated that at approximately 12:51pm, a passenger vehicle (Mini Cooper) was travelling south on County Road 31 when, for reasons under investigation, crossed into the north lane and collided headon with a transport truck (milk tanker). The adult male driver of the passenger vehicle was pronounced deceased at the scene. His name is being withheld pending notification of next-ofkin. The truck driver was not injured.

Big bust for CRTF

While conducting an operation on the evening of April 9, 2017, members of the Cornwall Regional Task Force (CRTF) observed a vessel traveling eastbound on the St. Lawrence River. The boat went ashore in the area of Pie XII Boulevard and the Beauharnois Canal, Valleyfield, Quebec.

The police converged on scene and arrested three (3) males between the ages of 21 and 25 from the province of Quebec. As a result, a total of 1,587 kilograms of contraband fine cut tobacco as well as the conveyance, a 1998 Ford cube van, were seized. The individuals were released from custody on a Promise to Appear in Valleyfield Provincial Court on June 28, 2017.

“Often we are asked about the financial costs associated with this contraband issue”, said Sergeant Garry Belair, acting NCO i/c CRTF Team B, “In this seizure alone, for example, $499,864.53 in duties and taxes was lost to Canadians in possible revenue. This amount of lost revenue could pay a nurse’s salary over a seven (7) year period. It is important for everyone to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to your local police force so they can continue to protect our neighbourhoods.”

Drug charges laid in fire

An individual has been charged and arrested on drug-related charges after attempting to produce butane hash oil, also known as ‘shatter,’ which caused a fire to break out in a First Street residence on Thursday, Apr. 6.

Less than a month ago, a Carleton Street blaze began as a result of the extraction of cannabis resin, claiming the life of 67-year-old Michel Lalonde.

While residents managed to escape unscathed in the city’s latest drug-related fire, both the Cornwall Community Police Service and the Cornwall Fire Department recently released a statement on the dangers of produTeen allegedly threatens to burn down school A 17-year-old Cornwall youth was arrested on April 10, 2017 and charged with threats and cing the substance. breach of probation for failing to keep the peace.

City releases update on closure at Cumberland and Emma Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - A damaged culvert closed the Cumberland and Emma intersection on Thursday, April 6.

“A combination of snow melt and the recent heavy rainfall has caused the partial wash-out of the large Boales Drain storm culvert at the intersection,” the statement from the City of Cornwall reads. “The culvert is beyond repair and in need of replacement. Initial estimates suggest that the work to replace the culvert and reinstate the intersection could extend into the summer. City staff is reviewing all options in hopes of replacing the culvert and re-opening the intersection as quickly and safely as possible,” the statement continues.

The City says that in the mean time it is considering alternatives and may partially re-open

the intersection.

“The situation has resulted in the re-routing of some Cornwall Transit buses and temporary on-street parking restrictions have been put in place on Cline Avenue and Meadowvale Crescent,” said the City in their statement to the media. “Northbound traffic on Cumberland Street is currently being detoured on Cline Avenue. Access to Cumberland Street and the surrounding streets north of Emma Avenue is still available via Tollgate Road or off of Pitt Street via Eva Avenue and Benny Avenue.”

MOOSE CREEK, Ontario - There were minor injuries following Tuesday’s Moose Creek fire on County Road 15, a few kilometres north of Avonmore.

North Stormont Senior Fire Captain, Nicholas Forgues said that emergency responders were on the scene around 8:45 last night, with North Stormont Stations 1, 3, and 4 working to contain the fire, which appears to have started in the garage.

North Stormont District Chief, Dan Gauvin says that the Ontario Fire Marshal’s Office will conduct an investigation to reveal the cause of the fire. Having caused extensive damage to the property, the cost of these damages has not yet been determined.

Anyone thinking that they have a bag of the recalled flour should throw it out or return it to the store where it was purchased.

Flour contaminated with E. Coli may not look bad or smell bad, but will still make consumers sick.

“Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, mild to severe abdominal cramps and watery to bloody diarrhea,” stated the Canada Food Inspection Agency on their website. “In severe cases of illness, some people may have seizures or strokes, need blood transfusions and kidney dialysis or live with permanent kidney damage.

In severe cases of illness, people may die.”

CORNWALL, Ontario - The Cornwall Community Police Service along with the Cornwall Fire Department would like to remind the public that the use of volatile substances even under controlled circumstances is extremely dangerous and could cause serious bodily harm or even death.

The cause of two recent fires in the city of Cornwall has been directly linked to the illegal practice of extracting cannabis resin from marijuana to produce a substance known as “shatter”. “Not only is the practice

Heroes fly to Cornwall for CAPE Nick Seebruch

14 - Wednesday, April 19, 2017 - Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - Cornwall’s own comic and pop culture event is getting ready to kick off its third year this coming Saturday, April 22.

The popular Cornwall Area and Pop Event (CAPE) is growing and evolving every year. This year will be the first time that there will be a cosplayers contest.

The contest will be divided into two age categories, 12 and under and 13 and over. it will also come as a relief for cosplayers that at this year’s event there will be a cosplayers lounge, equipped with enough glue and duck tape for all costume repairing needs. There is nothing worse for a Wolverine cosplayer than when their claws keep falling off.

CAPE’s roster of guest stars this year include Sean Gunn of Gilmore Girls and Guardians of the Galaxy fame, Yanic Truesdale of Gilmore Girls and Kimberly Leemans of America’s Next Top Model, the Walking Dead and Vampire Diaries.

CAPE organizer Carol Sauve said that guests you get to talk to at CAPE, you might not get a

chance to see at larger conventions.

“We have to market CAPE differently than the big city shows,” she said. “One feature is that you might not get a chance to talk to or see the guests that we have at those bigger shows.”

This will be Yanic Truesdale’s first Comicon style event, and Sauve said that Cornwall’s convention was now reaching out to new fanbases.

“Usually comic conventions are based around a lot of comic, sci-fi and fantasy fandoms, but when you bring in someone like Yanic from Gilmore Girls you really start to open up that demographic,” said Carol Sauve. “Dads can bring their daughters who might be interested in Gilmore Girls and they can check out some of the actors from the Walking Dead at the same time.”

Some of the heroes from last year’s CAPE. This year, the City of Cornwall is giving CAPE goers a helping hand with transportation.

Cornwall Transit will be offering free bus service “We are thrilled to be able to offer this ser- events such as CAPE.” for those with a CAPE ticket on Saturday, April Check out CAPE’s website for full details.

22 and Sunday, April 23 and will be offering a vice for our residents,” said Len Tapp, Division CAPE opens this weekend on Saturday at 10 shuttle service from Walton Court to the Benson Manager, Cornwall Transit. “Cornwall Transit is proud to partner with successful community a.m. at the Benson Centre.

OPINION

Fines won’t return stolen carts Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

This week, the Seaway News wrote about the City’s plans to deal with the problem of abandoned shopping carts that are left around the Cornwall.

The plan is for the City to travel around Cornwall picking up any shopping carts they find once a month. They will then keep these carts in impound essentially and charge the stores $25 for their return.

This may sound like City of Cornwall will be holding the property of Cornwall’s grocery stores hostage, but is there any better alternative?

The City should be doing something about all of the abandoned shopping carts. Once you notice them, you will see them everywhere in this city. There is one apartment complex on Brookdale Avenue that had blue ten Wal-Mart shopping carts parked nearby in February.

Different cures have been suggested for this problem, one is to fine the shopping cart thieves. That may be effective, but it also will punish Cornwall’s least fortunate. People who

have a car or money for a cab won’t be stealing carts. Also there is the question of the cost of paying police officers to monitor the shopping cart problem and catch offenders. The police probably have better things to do with their time.

Another solution is for the stores themselves to invest in anti-theft technology. A cart that has wheels which lock when it leaves store property will cost the stores a couple hundred dollars apiece, more, at least in the short term, than the $25 to get their old carts back from the City.

The City’s by-law office says that the $25 fee will cover the cost of going around and collecting these shopping carts and storing them only, the City will not be making any sort of profit off of this endeavour.

On the other hand, a fine against those who actually steal the carts might not be enough to even cover the cost of having a by-law officer or a police officer monitor the situation and hand out the fines.

Also, by collecting the carts themselves, the City can be reasonably sure that they are taken off of the streets, fines won’t return stolen carts.

Ultimately, collecting the carts themselves is the only way that the City can be sure that they are taken off of the streets; however, they might not even break even as they hope to on this scheme.

Cornwall’s Municipal Works Yard might be soon be full of abandoned shopping carts that they’ve impounded and the stores might simply choose not to pay the $25 each to get them

back.

This could encourage grocery stores to invest in anti-cart-theft technology, or they might just hire someone whose job it is to make sure the carts aren’t stolen in the first place.

This plan is the most direct way the City can clean up the cart problem, but, it won’t solve the root of the problem, the theft of shopping carts.

In my jigsaw project, the idealized scene included aircraft, boats, a cabin, a canoe, a dog, evergreens…, but no X-ray machines, yogurt dishes or zebras. You get the idea: anything, but not necessarily in alphabetical order. I tend to think in alphabetical order, but you don’t have to.

Depending on the size and complexity of your puzzle, you may be spending the next hour – or ten hours, or even more, painstakingly drawing and colouring every blank space on that puzzle you’ve just created. See! There is

a creative process involved. Oh yes, for poster-

Some assembly required Here’s the recipe that will give you an opportunity to do something creative and to give something of yourself to others.

Place any fully assembled jigsaw puzzle on any firm surface: a sheet of plywood, glass, plastic, aluminum, stainless steel or titanium.

The sheet must be slightly larger than the puzzle’s dimensions. Yes, I realize fitting all the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle together isn’t particularly creative, but just work with me.

Next, carefully, very carefully, flip it over

ity, don’t forget to sign it and date it.

Next, very carefully take a colour photograph of your work of art. Then, make an enlarged 8” X 10” print of the masterpiece.

Attach that print onto a blank side of the puzzle’s box. Completely disassemble your twosided puzzle. Finally, on the box print: “TWO PUZZLES IN ONE – SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED”.

Give it to someone: your child, spouse, parent, grandchild, grandparent, best friend... anyone who would like to have two jigsaw puzzles in one box.

– intact. Unlike Ikea products, no tools are required. However, it does take a bit of creativity and dexterity – and a second sheet of whatever to act as the other slice of ‘bread’ for your jigsaw puzzle sandwich. What is now facing you is the blank side of your fully assembled jigsaw puzzle. Yes, I realize you’re now really puzzled. Work with me.

What you now need is a large number of coloured, permanent marker pens, a fine-line black marker pen and a large number of coloured pencils. Oil paints, acrylic paints, pastels, erasable marker pens and water colour paints just won’t do. I realize you’re getting a bit impatient, but you’ll have to continue working

OPINION

Seeing green least a slice of the multi-millionaire dollar marijuana market (taxes) is better than not getting anything.

THIS WEEK IN 1961 Odeon Theatres announced that the Roxy Theatre on Montreal Road, open since 1941, was closing and the building would be put on the market. An Odeon spokesperson said the burden of an entertainment tax and rising cost of operating the theatre were responsible for the decision to shut it. Mrs. Sadie Hollister was theatre manager. ...

Morrisburg Town Council said it was taking steps to withdraw from United Counties Council.

Council said the decision was made in light of a huge increase in the United Counties tax levy that climbed to $34,300 from $18,000 in two years.

“When dealing with parasites we must treat them (counties) as such and get rid of them,” said one councillor. ... The final Elmer the Safety Elephant party was set for the Palace Theatre with a draw for a CCM bicycle. The feature movie was Ma and Pa Kettle on Vacation and six colour cartoons. A Bo-lo bat contest was also part of the show. ... A library bookmobile service was launched with the first stop at Riverdale Park. In the first two hours 250 books were borrowed. ... Plans for a 26-bed youth hostel for those convicted of minor offences was announced. ... Peter Carter, 16-year-old Grade 12 student at St. Lawrence High School, was winner of the “Sojourn to Science” essay contest. Richard Cartier, Dick Schell and Conrad Lalonde received honourable mentions. ... The Holly Twins were appearing at the Highland Hotel in Massena. ... Centre Cliff Pennington of the Hull-Ottawa Canadiens was named Eastern Professional Hockey League rookie of the year. Team-mate

Bobby Rousseau and Pat Stapleton of Sault Ste. Marie were runners-up. ... Doug Taillon won the Red Cap 10-pin bowling tournament with 1,010 over five games. Runner-up was Charlie Ault. ...

Joe Miller returned as president of the Cornwall Junior Baseball League.

TRIVIA After years of debating the status (part-time vs full-timed) city council voted to designate him Cornwall’s first full-time mayor: 1) Nick Kaneb, 2) Aaron Horovitz, 3) Gerald Parisien, 4) Ed Lumley, 5) Dick Aubry.

TRIVIA ANSWER This was an easy one for retired Cornwall Electric manager Mike Pescod.

Sun Life Assurance sold the utility to the city in 1977. A tougher question would have been the selling price. (It was $4.8 million). In 1998 the city sold the utility to Enbridge for $67 million. Four years later Enbridge sold the utility to Fortis for the same price.

HERE AND THERE Despite the preponderance of evidence a left-leaning Postmedia guest columnist referred to the gas attack on Syrian civilians as an “alleged attack.” There might be some question about who dropped the gas on the villagers - Russian, Syrian or both - but there the footage of dead and dying civilians, many of them children, was not produced by the village drama club. ... One good reason to keep the annual Sunshine List at $100,000 and up is that it shows the growing gap among middle income earners in a community with one of the lowest average family incomes in the province. ... Interesting that the medical officer of health for Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, Prescott-Russell earns more ($313,544) than Ottawa’s medical officer of health ($302,412). ... Does this sound familiar? Belleville city

councillor Jack Miller (Cornwall native) wants to look at a private partnership to run the city-operated marina. The marina had a $60,000 deficit in 2016. Miller said he is not talking about abandoning the marina but wants to find a way to take taxpayers off the hook for the deficit(s). It is the same situation next door in Quinte West where the municipally-operated marina had a $70,000 deficit.

AROUND AND ABOUT Get the feeling that down the path of political correctness it will become known as Easter Bunny weekend? ...

Decision on the fate of Alexandria-Cornwall Roman Catholic Diocese will be made in a couple of months and the “smart money” is on the diocese being absorbed b by the Ottawa Diocese. ...

Again we asked Preem Kathy, “What’s happening with the 15% car insurance premium decrease promised back in 2003?” Recent report shows that the average car insurance premium in Ontario is $1,458 which is 55% higher than the Canadian average. ... The contracts for police chief Dan Parkinson and deputy police chief Danny Aikman expire next year. Parkinson, who has become one of Ontario’s longest-serving police chiefs, is expected to retire. The police board will have to decide if it wants to offer Aikman the chief’s job or look outside.

IN THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR The miniature diving sub powered by baking soda that for a kid made taking a bath fun. ... High school volunteer hospital candy stripers many of whom went on to become registered nurses. ... The spring pastime called making mud pies. ... Double Bubble gum with a comic strip wrapped around it. The gum was rock hard. ...

The billion-dollar illegal tobacco industry which prospers in this part of the province gets a shot-in-the-arm each time the provincial and federal governments raise tobacco taxes. It translates into more business for the contraband guys.

Tax increases have driven up the price of a carton of legal smokes to $80 to $100. For a carton-aweek smoker that adds up to at least $4,100 a year.

Meanwhile, the easy to acquire illegal brands run about $20 a carton. That is a saving of at least $3,000 a year. Despite all the enforcement over the years, the black market continues to thrive.

Often with impunity.

It will be the same story with legal marijuana.

The black market dealers will sell tax-free pot at a fraction of the legal price.

According to the Ontario Convenience Stores Association, legislation to legalize the sale of marijuana is a gift to the contraband cigarette industry.

The cigarette factories will either make the easy conversion to marijuana or combine production.

Convenience stores association spokesperson Dave Bryans said the illegal factories will manufacture cheaper tax-free marijuana and flood the market, just as they do with cigarettes.

The thinking that government regulations can control the sale of marijuana to minors is ridiculous. For minors who want to buy a pack of cigarettes or a bottle of booze, the restrictions are a minor inconvenience. Always has been. It will be same with marijuana.

For the revenue challenged federal and provincial governments, it is simple math: getting at

and communities safe.

Our entire legislative package is now before the House of Commons. For more detailed information about all our proposed measures with respect to cannabis, as well as impaired driving, please go to: https://www.canada.ca/ en/services/policing/justice/legalization-regulation-marijuana.html To date, I am pleased to see encouraging reactions from the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, the Canadian Automobile Association, professional organizations representing nurses and pharmacists, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), many prominent academic authorities and others.

We believe our proposals represent the best approach to promote health and safety, protect our kids and combat crime. But they also represent very big change.

Something this large and transformational needs to be managed with care. We are anxious to continue working with provincial, territorial, municipal and private sector partners to achieve a successful and orderly transition to the new regime. Our target is July of next year.

In the meantime, the existing law (as deficient as it has been) needs to be respected.

This is not a free-for-all.

Ralph Goodale

• Promotion, packaging, labelling and display will be tightly controlled to ensure factual accuracy and prevent appeals to young people.

• The new law will be accompanied by a strong public education campaign to explain the risks and dangers associated with the use of pot, especially by young people, and to warn against irresponsible behaviour at any age.

In tandem with Canada’s new legal framework for cannabis, the government is also renovating the law dealing with impaired driving of all kinds.

Beyond a vigorous effort to raise public awareness about the deadliness of such reckless conduct, we are providing law enforcement agencies with clearer laws, better technologies (including new roadside oral testing devices), stronger and more expeditious procedures (including better access to blood tests), more training and other resources, and tougher penalties to deal appropriately with offenders—and to keep Canada’s roadways

City to seize shopping carts Alycia Douglass alycia.douglass@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - It appears there may be an answer in sight for the city’s ongoing shopping cart conundrum.

The issue has been discussed with the Property Standards Advisory Committee, as well as local store representatives over the past few months with one common goal: to solve the issue of the cart eyesore. Store representatives also took part in these meetings, sharing their thoughts on the topic, as well as potential solutions.

“Since then, we’ve drafted a bylaw which will require that – within reason, market owners be responsible that their property does not leave store premises,” said City of Cornwall Supervisor of Bylaw Enforcement, Christopher Rogers.

In the interim, store owners will be given information on how the proposed changes would impact their business. Currently, the city

has no intention of imposing fines, but does expect stakeholders to take responsibility for their property.

“We’re not saying we want to set fines,” said Rogers. “What we’re saying is, either you pick up your carts or we will.”

The proposed bylaw will first go to council; if approved, it will force store owners to keep a tighter rein on their shopping carts.

“Whatever hasn’t been recovered by the owner will be collected weekly and taken back to Municipal Works yard with a service fee to retrieve them,” said Rogers. “We’re not doing this arbitrarily, and we’re trying to be as reasonable as possible.”

The retrieval fee is currently set at $25 per cart, which could become a costly expense for some stakeholders. As it stands, there have been mixed responses from local business owners.

South Stormont Fire and Rescue recommends taking a few safety precautions before grilling that first meal. The Technical Standards and Safety Authority recommends this three-step safety check list: 1. CLEAN: use a pipe cleaner or wire to make sure the burner ports are free of rust, dust, dirt, spider webs or other debris.

2. CHECK: examine the hose leading from the fuel supply to the burners. Replace if cracked or damaged.

3. TEST: find leaks by applying a 50/50 solution of water and dish soap to all fuel and hose connections. If bubbles appear, tighten the connections and/or replace the damaged parts and always re-test.

Remember that barbecues are for outdoor use only. If used in an enclosed space, carbon monoxide will gather which can lead to serious health effects, or even death. For more information and safety tips about propane barbecues, visit the Technical Standards and Safety Authority website www.tssa.org or contact Nicholas MacGillivray, Fire Prevention/Public Education Officer at 613-534-8889.

Dogs do not always have the best manners and should be properly restrained wherever they go. You should know that in South Stormont, the Dog Licensing and Control By-law No. 52-2004 states that all dogs are required to be attached to you by a leash no longer than 2m at all times. There are no leash free parks in the Township. Some people are afraid or allergic to dogs and other dogs are sometimes shy or reactive. Keeping your dog leashed prevents unwanted attention or fines. Also remember to be a good neighbor and clean up after your dog.

Food and fun for Easter in South Stormont Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

The Township of South Stormont and the Lost Villages Lion’s Club hosted a Easter Breakfast and Easter Egg Hunt this past Saturday, April 15.

Residents were treated to a full breakfast of eggs, bacon, pancakes, sausages, coffee tea and juice at the South Stormont Community Hall on Saturday morning.

Then, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. kids were able to take part in a face painting, Easter Bonnet decorating contest and a colouring contest. There was also a bake sale and auction.

South Stormont Deputy Mayor Tammy Hart praised the Lost Villages Lion’s Club for putting on a great day for the kids.

“My grandchildren had the best Easter Hunt ever on Saturday in Bethune Park in Long Sault,” she said in a letter to local media. “I want to thank all the hard working volunteers and Lost Villages Lion’s Club members for the Easter Breakfast and Easter Hunt. Saturday was a beautiful, sunny day. So many children, their parents and grandparents showed up to enjoy a scrumptious breakfast and then over to the park for an Easter Hunt.

So much fun and much appreciated by all.

Thank you and job well done.”

Schools concerned over U.S. travel ban Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

BROCKVILLE, Ontario - The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) Board of Trustees raised concerns for student safety over U.S. President Donald Trump’s U.S. travel ban at their meeting on Wednesday, April 12.

The President’s Executive Order, if it ever goes into effect, would ban travel from the predominantly Muslim countries of Sudan, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia and Yemen for 90 days.

The ban does not affect Canadians or Canadians with dual citizenship, but the school board remains concerned because ultimately, individuals can be rejected or detained at the discretion of American border service agents.

“This raises the possibility of students travelling on school trips being denied entry,” reads a press release from the UCDSB. “The school board is prepared to respond to the heightened screening through: sharing of information regarding the Executive Order

with students, their parents and guardians; a requirement that students have cancellation insurance for all overnight school trips; ensuring that principals review federal travel advisories before any departure.”

The press release goes on to say that if any student traveling on a school trip who is turned back at the American border for a reason out of their control that that will lead to a cancellation of the trip.

The UCDSB states that eight of their schools will be traveling to the U.S. between March and June of this year, with a possible further 15 trips happening next school year.

The trustees requested a staff report to update them on this issue by the end of the school year.

Alaoui is Muslim and in effect as it is bogged down in the American signed on March 6, and the cases appealing court system.

Une opération donne lieu à une importante saisie de contrebande Communiqué de presse de la CRTF Alors qu’ils menaient une opération pendant la soirée du 9 avril 2017, les membres du Groupe de travail régional de Cornwall (GTRC) ont remarqué une embarcation naviguant vers l’est sur le fleuve Saint-Laurent. Le bateau a accosté dans le secteur du boulevard Pie-XII et du Canal de Beauharnois, à Valleyfield, Québec.

La police a été dépêchée sur les lieux et a procédé à l’arrestation de trois (3) hommes âgés de 21 à 25 ans, originaires de la province de Québec. Par conséquent, un total de

1 587 kilogrammes de tabac haché fin de contrebande, ainsi que le moyen de transport, un fourgon cube Ford 1998, ont été saisis. Les individus ont été libérés sur promesse de comparaître au tribunal provincial de Valleyfield le 28 juin 2017. « On nous demande souvent quels sont les coûts associés à ce problème de contrebande », a indiqué le sergent Garry Belair, sous-officier intérimaire responsable de l’équipe B du GTRC. « Dans le cadre de cette seule saisie, par exemple, les Canadiens ont perdu un revenu possible de 499 864,53 $ en droits et en taxes. Ce revenu perdu pourrait payer le salaire d’une infirmière

pendant une période de sept (7) ans. Chacun doit rester vigilant et signaler toute activité suspecte à son service de police local, afin que la police puisse continuer de protéger nos quartiers. » Si vous détenez des informations sur cette activité criminelle ou sur d’autres activités criminelles dans votre région, vous pouvez communiquer avec le GTRC, au 1 613 937-2800, ou avec Échec au crime, au 1 800 222-8477.

Le GTRC est une force policière mixte dirigée par la Gendarmerie royale du Canada et composée de la Police provinciale de l’Ontario et du ministère des Finances de l’Ontario.

Cruickshank Construction Limited souhaite conseiller aux résidents que la construction débutera bientôt sur l’Autoroute 401, sur les ponts Wales Drive et Avonmore Road.

Cruickshank Construction Limited a obtenu le contrat pour l’enlèvement et le remplacement de ces ponts. Échéancier de construction: • Le pont Avonmore Road sera fermé à la circulation à partir du 24 avril 2017 et sa réouverture est prévue pour novembre 2017.

• Le pont Wales Drive sera fermé à partir du 2 avril 2018 et sa réouverture est prévue pour novembre 2018.

• Un itinéraire de déviation avec signalisation routière sera établi au cours de chaque fermeture. (Voir itinéraire sous-dessus) • Tous les travaux devraient être terminés à l’automne 2018.

Il y aura des fermetures de voies (circulation à une voie) sur l’Autoroute 401 tout au long des saisons de construction. Le projet a été étudié et planifié pour mettre en œuvre des mesures de contrôle de la circulation afin d’assurer une perturbation minimale pour le public voyageur.

Veuillez nous excuser pour ce désagrément; nous sommes très reconnaissants de la patience du public pendant la construction.

Voici le nom des enseignantes qui ont organisé ce club: Madame Pauline Laneville, Madame Martine Chabot et Madame Monica Martineau. Nous remercions ces enseignantes puisqu’elles donnent de leur temps pour nous aider à devenir plus créatifs! Ce club s’adresse aux élèves de la 4e à la 6e année; garçons comme filles.

Dans ce club, voici comment ça se passe. Les enseignantes nous donnent un sujet, par exemple: Le grand test. Après, les équipes en jeu ont un temps de réflexion pour voir qui va jouer quel rôle.

L’improvisation, c’est quand on invente des histoires dans notre tête, que l’on réfléchit très très vite sur ce qu’on va faire. Il y a plusieurs types d’improvisation comme narratifs, mimés, chantés et dramatiques. La durée d’une improvisation est d’environ une minute trente secondes. Le club a lieu une fois par semaine pendant la grande récréation du dîner.

Voici pourquoi j’aime ce club. Premièrement, j’aime les scènes d’arts dramatiques puis l’improvisation c’est comme l’art dramatique; donc j’aime cela! Aussi, j’aime l’improvisation car c’est tellement drôle les histoires

Un voyage humanitaire au Costa Rica Mégan Tremblay-Doyle - l’école Heritage Quand nous pensons à l’école, nous pensons tous aux enseignants, les classes, les travaux et les devoirs. Mais et si on ajoutait un voyage culturel à cette liste? Le 29 décembre dernier jusqu’au 12 février, 20 élèves de la 8e à la 12e de l’école secondaire publique L’Héritage ont voyagé au Costa Rica!

Le but du voyage était de découvrir ce nouveau pays au relief montagneux avec sa verdure chatoyante et sa faune incroyable. Les élèves, ainsi que leurs accompagnateurs, ont pu visiter rapidement la ville de San José, le volcan Irazu, ainsi que le Mont Chirripo. Nous sommes ensuite allés passer une semaine avec les autochtones Bris-Bris, puis une autre avec une

famille de communauté rurale.

Première étape, le volcan Irazu et l’auberge Uran, pour pouvoir monter le Mont Chirripo. Le volcan Irazu est un volcan impressionnant avec son plus profond cratère de plus de 100 mètres de profondeur! Les cratères étaient couverts de sable et de cendres grises et avaient des grandes étendues d’eau turquoises, créées par la pluie prise par les murs des cratères. La seule plainte: le vent froid qui vous oblige à porter un manteau.

Après le volcan, la montagne! L’auberge Uran était une auberge très mignonne avec des chambres de 3 à 4 personnes. L’ascension du 4 kilomètres fut faite le lendemain, après une bonne nuit de sommeil. Monter et descendre nous a pris tout près de 2 heures, avec une pause à destination pour se reposer avant de redescendre. Les chemins étaient faits des

terres et roches et nous avons dû faire très attention de ne pas se retrouver sur les fesses après avoir glissé sur une roche glissante!

Chez les Bris-Bris, les élèves ont dormis dans de petites cabanes pour 4 personnes avec douches et toilettes. Les chambres ont étés dites d’avoir étés très accueillantes et confortables. À tous les jours, il y avait un horaire bien planifié. On déjeune ensemble, avant de partir avec les hommes de la communauté pour travailler avec eux. Ensuite, venait le dîner et une après-midi remplie d’activités, telles qu’aller nager dans une rivière, puis le souper. Le soir était surtout consacré à un peu de temps libre, sauf le dernier soir, lorsque les autochtones nous ont organisés un spectacle de talents et de danse.

La vie en famille n’a pas été entièrement du repos elle non plus. C’est lors de cette semaine

qu’ils furent le plus de voyage. Cette fois-ci, les jeunes furent séparés pour vivre 2 par famille.

Tous les repas furent mangés en famille, et les matins étaient consacrés à la cultivation des grains de café.

Les après-midis, ils allaient visiter la région, et leur richesse, telles qu’une usine de cannes à sucre, une volière de papillons et de magnifiques chutes dans la montagne.

Quitter le Costa Rica a donc été très difficile pour nous, mais en même temps, nous avions bien hâtes d’arriver à la maison, de retrouver notre lit, nos familles et la nourriture canadienne réellement manquée. Ce n’est que lorsqu’on revient chez-soi que l’on se rend compte que l’on manque la chaleur du Costa Rica!

Canada. Il y a un grand spectacle bientôt avec plus de 200 acteurs et plus de 2000 personnages!

Premièrement, le méga spectacle L’écho d’un peuple est le projet principal d’un organisme communautaire sans but lucratif dirigé par des gens engagés et provenant de toute la région de l’Est ontarien. Depuis que l’idée de créer ce méga spectacle a été lancée en l’an 2000 par l’ingénieur Alain Dagenais, et jusqu’à la première du spectacle le 26 juin 2004, plus de 1 400 bénévoles se sont dévoués corps et âme pour donner vie à un scénario émouvant et digne de notre histoire.

Au début, quand j’ai appris qu’on devait participer en tant que comédiens dans la pièce, j’étais fâché car on l’avait intégré dans notre cours d’art dramatique, mais quand c’était le temp de jouer, je n’étais plus trop faché. Moi, j’ai joué comme guerrier huron qui se bataille à côté des mousquetaires. Au début, c’est stressant avant d’embarquer sur l’estrade, mais ça ne dure que 30 secondes, alors après, tu as terminé et tu ne reviens plus sur l’estrade. Tu te sens bien quand tu as terminé! C’était la première fois que je jouais dans une pièce de théâtre.

Je trouve que c’est une bonne idée de faire

cela car ça coûte moins d’argent. La troupe n’a qu’à se procurer que les lumières, les accessoires et les costumes; c’est tout et ça ne prend pas de temps à se préparer! On a fait 2 pratiques et on était prêts. J’ai trouvé ça facile car on ne me reconnaissait pas alors pas besoin de s’inquiéter des autres.

En conclusion, L’écho d’un peuple était quand même un bonne expérience. Je sais que j’étais fâché au début mais je n’aurais pas dû être fâché puisqu’à la fin, c’était amusant même si on était devant plein de petits spectateurs. Je serais prêt à recommencer!

L’écho d’un peuple Jérémie Gagnon - L’école Heritage L’écho d’un peuple est un spectacle qui explique ce qui c’est passé quand les premiers Français sont arrivés en Amérique, surnommée la Nouvelle-France. La troupe s’est promenée dans toute la province et a effectué beaucoup de spectacles. Elle est récemment venue à notre école pour le présenter et nous, les élèves de la huitième année, étions les acteurs/actrices. Il y avait beaucoup moin de scènes mais c’est puisqu’on n’avait pas autant de personnes pour jouer dans le spectacle. La troupe fait des spectacles depuis plus de 13 ans partout à travers le

Renoncer au tabac n’est pas chose facile

La dépendance au tabac est une maladie chronique qui se définit comme l’incapacité d’arrêter la consommation du tabac malgré la connaissance des effets nocifs sur la santé.

Les risques pour la santé ne sont pas seulement imputables à la nicotine, mais aussi à la présence d’au moins 50 substances réputées carcinogènes parmi les 4 000 contenues dans la fumée du tabac. Mentionnons entre autres le goudron, l’arsenic, le formaldéhyde, l’ammoniac et le nickel.

Pour arrêter de fumer, il y a différents moyens qui peuvent être utilisés seuls ou en combinaison. Entre autres, un counselling en personne ou par téléphone et/ou un groupe de soutien peuvent être bénéfiques.

Combiné à la pharmacothérapie, le fumeur, en voie de devenir non-fumeur, augmente ses chances de succès.

Les médicaments utilisés pour arrêter de fumer le tabac sont principalement la thérapie de remplacement de la nicotine (timbre, gomme, pastille,

Une partie du succès dépend du dosage adéquat du remplacement de nicotine ou la bonne combinaison de médicaments ainsi qu’un plan où la date d’arrêt est précisée à l’avance et une réflexion sur les défis anticipés.

Santé Canada ne recommande pas l’utilisation des cigarettes électroniques en raison du manque d’information d’innocuité concernant l’exposition aux vapeurs de propylène glycol (parmi d’autres produits chimiques utilisés dans les produits) et leurs effets inconnus à long terme.

Il ne faut surtout pas se décourager. Il est considéré qu’en moyenne une personne essaiera jusqu’à 7 fois d’arrêter de fumer avant de réussir. Donc il faut commencer par une première fois. Et puis, il y aura une fois ou ce sera la bonne. Consultez nos personnes au service à la clientèle pour plus de renseignements.

REAL ESTATE FOCUS Kitchen reno tips

decorative excess. Remember that the style of your kitchen should be compatible with the rest of your home.

Avoid maintenance nightmares. Natural surfaces with inherent texture — slate, terracotta, brick and tumbled marble — are more difficult to clean but camouflage the odd crumb. Smooth surfaces in light colours, such as white laminate counters or ceramic floors, are easy to clean but show everything. And as much as we love stainless steel, it’s not easy to keep smudge-free.

Stick to basic appliances. Instead of lots of appliances and gadgets, consider selecting a few reliable basics. For example, a

SPILLS

commercial-quality stainless-steel range makes an interesting focal point and takes up less space than separate wall ovens and a cooktop.

Incorporate an adjacent dining room. A clever design, plus the appropriate lighting and furniture, will let you adapt the room’s atmosphere to suit any occasion. Consider a banquette design combined with slipcovered chairs for an efficient use of space.

Add interest. Your kitchen should reflect you, not look like a showroom. Before designing the space, search for a piece of unique furniture and use it in your design — a room full of floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall kitchen cabinets looks boring and uninspired.

I can’t cover all 10,000 possible spills but let me give you a few basic principles. 1.

Deal with it instantly. If you leave them they will stain, stick and possibly rust. 2. Nice absorbant terry cloths are what you want to suck up liquid spills or good quality paper towels. 3. A wet/dry vac if spills resemble minor floods, a sweegee and dustpan will neatly clean up or an absorbant (such a cat litter) sprinkled on the spill will make it easier to clean up.

Use quality materials. -quality drawer slides and hinges mean cabinet doors will stay closed and drawers won’t stick. Stay away from drawers that are stapled together or made of particleboard. For cabinet interiors, wood veneer is more durable than melamine, laminate, MDF or particleboard.

Determine cabinet heights. If you have eight-foot ceilings, choose cabinets that go to the ceiling. They offer more storage, enabling you to use extra wall space for artwork or open shelves. If your ceilings are higher than eight feet, leave 15 to 18 inches above the cabinets.

Decide whether to paint or stain.

Though stained-wood cabinetry is forgiving, most finishes date quickly and aren’t easily altered. Brush-painted cabinets can lend a unique personality.

Select an elegant countertop. White Carrara marble (honed or acid washed and sealed) and stained wood add elegance and warmth. We also like honed Kirkstone slate, soapstone and Wiarton limestone, and plastic laminate with a wood edge for a sophisticated look.

Install an island that works. Beware of placing a bulky cube in the middle of the room. We like islands that have an open, airy look. Ideally, an island should be unencumbered by appliances, but if you want it to house a dishwasher-sink combo or a cooktop, try to maintain the light look of a leggy harvest table.

Don’t overdo the details. Design accents such as pediments over stoves and plaster mouldings on cabinet fronts can represent

Another year has come And you’re still so far away, You’re always in my heart Each and every day.

I never got to say goodbye Why did you have to go You left without me telling you How much I love you so.

I will never forget you Dad You’re the only father I knew, Why did you have to leave so soon And leave my heart so blue.

I wish I had the chance to say I love you, I miss you Each and every day.

We don’t need a special day to bring you to our minds.

The days we don’t think of you are very hard to find.

Each morning when we awake we know that you are gone And no one knows the heartache as we try to carry on.

Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears will flow What it meant to lose you no one will ever know.

Our thoughts and prayers are always with you.

centres of high art in America and Europe, the cities of New York and Paris.

A lof of his time in that world inspires his artwork of today.

“I try to incorporate fashion into my storytelling,” he said. “I think I reflect my own interpretation of models in my paintings. I really try to capture the light on the fabric,” he said of one picture.

His paintings begin as an idea he says and they then incubate and develop.

“Sometimes an idea for a painting will rattle around in my head for 20 years before I do anything with it,” he said.

MacDonald says he wants to take his book to New York and Montreal and to feature it in small art galleries.

A copy of his book is available for viewing at the Cornwall Public Library and for order through Astro Printing.

CORNWALL, Ontario - A local Cornwall artist is taking to a new medium to get his art out there.

Kevin Jade MacDonald has recently released a book of his paintings.

“For a while there wasn’t a place in Cornwall where art could be shown, so sometimes you just have to do it yourself and get yourself out there,” said Macdonald.

MacDonald is from Cornwall and got his start as an artist in St. Lawrence College’s graphic designer course and designed his book with the great help of Astro Printing.

MacDonald began his work in the art world as a model for International Top Models in the 1980s and 90s. That job took him to major

Don’t forget to salute the volunteers during National Volunteer Week from April 24 to 29.

They donate their time and energy to make a difference for so many organizations throughout our region. “Thank you for all you do!”

Picture of Reality: When I went to get my driver’s license renewed, our local motorvehicle bureau was packed. The line inched along for almost an hour until the man ahead of me finally got his license. He inspected his photo for a moment and commented to the clerk, “I was standing in line so long, I ended up looking pretty grouchy in this picture.” The clerk looked at his picture closely. “It’s OK,” he reassured the man. “That’s how you’re going to look when the cops pull you over anyway.”

To all of you thank you very much! Also: my wife, who prayed for and comforted me, and was happy I was okay; and God’s grace for taking care of me when 138 discovered 2 of my other tires were finished!

Young ErniE’s EastEr PraYEr Young Ernie and his family were invited to have Easter Sunday lunch at his grandmother’s house in Monkey’s Eyebrow, Arizona. USA. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When Ernie received his plate he started eating straight away.

‘Ernie, wait until we say grace,’ demanded his father.

‘I don’t have to,’ the five year old replied.

‘Of course you do, Ernest,’ his mother insisted rather forcefully. ‘We always say a prayer before eating at our house.’

‘That’s at our house,’ Ernie explained, ‘but this is Grandma’s house, and she knows how to cook.’

Woodpeckers in the Garden: Woodpeckers are entertaining and colourful garden visitors and very useful birds. Important in many forest habitats, they create cavities in wood that other wildlife uses. Many are also voracious insect eaters, seeking out bark-boring, wood-boring and other beetles, as well as ants, tent caterpillars and other potentially destructive insects.

Planting and protecting trees will help the woodpecker. If a standing tree poses a danger to people or structures, remove the tree’s branches and cut it down to a safe height.

Woodpeckers and other birds will happily take advantage of what you leave.
