Happy Spring!

Lisa Blanchard The Friendly Parent LISABRMT@OUTLOOK.COM

The winter has finally come to an end, and it is now time to get outside and enjoy our beautiful community. I am going to take this opportunity to talk about the benefits of nature and being outdoors for our children. Last year, the David Suzuki Foundation conducted a survey with young Canadians and found that a whopping 70% spend an hour or less a day outdoors. The 2012 Active Healthy Kids Canada Report Card conducted by the David Suzuki Foundation, found that kids are spending almost eight hours a day in front of screens. So according to this study, kids are not spending enough time outdoors to receive the numerous benefits.

Let’s take a look at the benefits here and maybe this information will inspire you to get your kids outside and playing in nature more. Numerous studies have been conducted and they all support these findings. The three big benefits are that people are less stressed, that nature boosts our immune system, and that people are generally happier. I have witnessed this in my own family. Whenever we get grumpy, and especially my daughter, we take the dog for a walk. When we leave the house, my daughter is complaining about having to walk the dog and by the end of the walk, she is hugging us, holding our hands and telling

us how much she loves us. This is no joke! Come for a walk with us and you will witness this dramatic change. Lol. Family walks are an excellent way to stay active together, to talk and joke, and improve everyone’s mood.

We are fortunate enough to live in a city that has many neighbourhood parks and green spaces. Encourage your children to play at the park and make new friends. Not only do trees purify the air we breathe, but they also emit a fine aerosol that when we breathe it in, helps to boost our immune system. You see, we are supposed to be in nature most of the time. Our North American culture has it all backwards. Instead of moving all day and being outdoors, we are indoors and sitting in chairs or couches on our computers or phones most of the day. So this spring and summer, let’s take a break from technology, and sit outside more, enjoying the sweet sound of the birds. Maybe we bring our children to the park everyday and we play as a family, instead of going on the phone. Maybe we walk the dog everyday and use the time as a chance for an adventure to discover new areas of our wonderful community. There is this cool game that you can use your phone to explore the outdoors and find treasure. It is called “geocaching”. Check it out! It is a lot of fun to play as a family.

Studies have also found that playing outdoors improves the behaviour of children struggling with ADHD.

Do you have to make a will?

As you get older, it’s normal to start thinking about your estate and getting your affairs in order. If you don’t already have a will, you may wonder whether you need one in the event of your death. The short answer is no. Nevertheless, a will is an essential document. Here’s why.

The specifics vary depending on the province, but generally, if you don’t have a will at the time of your death, your assets will still be distributed to your heirs.

However, the distribution may differ from what you would have wanted. Usually, your spouse will receive a set amount before the remainder is divided among your children and other family members, if any exist.

A will is essential because it allows you to decide how your assets will be divided among your heirs.

Specifically, you indicate who inherits what and who’ll act as an executor. There are three basic types of wills in Canada: formal,

notarial and holographic.

Consult a lawyer to learn the differences and determine the best type for you.

The deadline is nearing to submit a nomination for the YourTV Youth Achievement Awards, powered by the Optimist Club of Cornwall. From now until May 5th, anyone can use the online nomination form to nominate a deserving youth from Cornwall, South Stormont, or South Glengarry.

“This is truly my favourite event of the year,” says Optimist Club of Cornwall Past President Terry Muir. “Our members also look forward to it, and we fundraise throughout the year for prizes. The Optimist Club is all about serving youth in our community, and what better way than to recognize those making a difference in our community?”

Nominations can be made in three categories: At My Best, Giving Back, and Kindness Is Cool.

The four grade levels open for nominations are 4 to 6, 7 to 8, 9 to 10, and 11 to 12.

Once the nominations are closed, a Selection Committee of community leaders will review the nominations and select award recipients. Winners will be invited to the televised awards ceremony on Thursday, June 8th, which will be held at the Civic Complex after one year at the Optimist

Clubhouse and two years being held virtually. A complementary pre-show reception will be held for nominators, nominees, and their families.

“Our staff and volunteers look forward to this event every year,” says YourTV Producer, Gabriel Riviere-Reid, “The pride on the finalists faces when they go up and get their award says it all, as does the excitement of their family members cheering them on. It’s just a feel-good event that reminds us the future is bright because we have so many youth making a difference now, and will no doubt continue to do so.”

Agape Centre Receives $22,421 Donation from Cornwall Food Basics

food banks.

On April 20, 2023, Cornwall Food Basics store managers Perry McCabe and Pat Rennick met at the Brookdale Avenue location to present a $22,421 cheque to the Agape Centre from the Out of Reach program.

The Out of Reach initiative matches every $2 donation with a Food Basics gift card of the same value (up to a maximum of $250,000). It has been run in Cornwall for two years now during the holidays, with the last donation being over $17,000 around Thanksgiving.

Food Basics is also part of the One More Bite program – an initiative from its parent company, Metro Inc. – that fights food waste by donating quality unsold products to local

Since it can be hard to grasp what it would cost to run the Agape Centre Community Kitchen and Market, Seaway News asked Executive Director Lisa Duprau for some perspective.

“For instance, we just purchased a skid of corn… a skid of corn is $2,000,” Duprau explained, “For the month of March, we were servicing 3,200 people (up from 1,200 in March of 2020).”

As always, the Agape Centre is grateful for the community’s ongoing support, especially during these inflationary times where many families are struggling to make ends meet.

Letters to the Editor

We can and should do better

I am writing to express my deep concern about the ongoing systemic issues in customer service that I have witnessed in our city. As a resident, I have seen firsthand how frustrating and sometimes outright discriminatory it can be to interact with certain city departments and employees.

I believe that it’s time for our city administration to take a hard look at these issues and to start investigating the root causes of these problems. It’s not enough to simply apologize for poor customer service or to offer training to employees. We need to do better as a community, and that starts with acknowledging that there is a problem.

There have been numerous reports of city employees being dismissive, unhelpful, or even hostile towards residents who are seeking assistance or information. This is unacceptable and goes against the principles of good governance and public service.

I believe that our city administration should

Regarding Letter to the MPP

I too am in the same boat as F. Beaulieu. I have been on the same meds since 1994, yet I have to see a Dr. Every 6 months for my renewal! This is waste of time for the Dr (IMO). Not to mention the cost to OHIP. Granted some meds are now being referred

conduct a comprehensive review of customer service policies, along with the employee Code of Conduct and review practices across all departments. This review should include input from community members, particularly those who have experienced poor customer service firsthand. There should be an outside consultant hired to perform these internal investigations.

Additionally, the city should invest in training programs for employees that focus on empathy, cultural sensitivity, and effective communication. This will not only improve customer service but also create a more positive work environment for employees.

Ultimately, it’s up to all of us as a community to prioritize good customer service and to hold our city government accountable for providing it. We need to create a culture of respect and mutual support that values the contributions of all members of our community.

Tucked away on Second Street near the Kinsmen Soccer Fields is a 10-bed hospice that some in Cornwall refer to as a ‘best kept secret’. It’s a quiet, tranquil place where many dedicated staff and volunteers provide support to palliative care patients.

Like many organizations, Carefor Hospice experienced a drop in volunteer numbers during the COVID-19 pandemic. To continue running all their programs at full capacity, they need a new influx of compassionate and dedicated volunteers.

Kristan Poirier, Volunteer and Community Supervisor, shared that they currently have a team of 50 volunteers, and hope to draw in another 50 from the open house event which took place on April 19th.

All volunteers receive a 30-hour palliative training that is flexible to fit with their schedule. The hospice runs this training three times a year.

Some programs volunteers can apply to include:

• Transportation: picking clients up twice a week and taking them to and from day programs hosted at the hospice.

• Caregiver Support: family members are sometimes invited to share a meal and share experiences and what they are going through. Volunteers provide support and offer complementary therapies such as chat, massage,

• Gardening: Each year volunteers plant and tend to a garden on the property. Food from the garden is used by the chef to cook for clients in the summertime.

Another newer program run at the hospice is the “Happy Cart” initiative that began during the pandemic, when clients and their families were required to stay in their rooms.

“A volunteer would come in and we would fill the cart with games, candy, ice cream, or sometimes things like birthday cards,” said Poirier, sharing that they tried to come up with different things that clients might not think of asking for, “They’re getting that interaction, seeing faces, and it gives us the opportunity to see what they’re needing as well.”

During the open house, Seaway News received a tour of the hospice from 8-year volunteer, Mike McAnany, who started out playing music to palliative care patients.

“I come in here and set up and play for an hour or an hour and a half. No rock and roll of course, but nice easy-going stuff,” McAnany said, adding that he added more up-tempo stuff as time went on, “Patients would come down with people who were visiting, or the nurse would take them in their wheelchair, or they would walk down.”

McAnany explained that Carefor Hospice is a special place, and that he has been touched by his experiences with residents on more than one occasion.

The Cat that Started it All

DANCES WITH WORDS

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

As I commented earlier, cats aren’t dogs and dogs aren’t cats. People acquire dogs to have them as pets and servants. Dogs will travel anywhere their masters travel. On the other paw, cats acquire people so they can grace their host’s accommodations, get food and be stroked. Cats will travel on foot, but they refuse to be transported by car, truck, train or plane.

Until something that took place in a Florence, Italy in June of 1974, I had never woken up in the morning saying to myself, “I’m going to get up really, really early today so I can get a cat.” The only reason we decided to pull our Westfalia van into a campsite was to take a shower, do some laundry and top off our water supply. We had left the sliding side door open to ventilate our vehicle. Not only did a cool breeze come in, so did a little cat. Barely more than a kitten it was. My “Shoo! Shoo! Out! Out!” was of no avail. I had to lift the little fellow out. Back from the shower, back into our van was the little fellow. (To me, all cats are feminine, dogs are masculine.) She had decided to do what Russia is trying to do in Ukraine: occupy, with no permission. However, unlike Mr. Poutine, her manner was sweet, endearing and amusing. We decided to extend our day use visit into an overnight stay. Yes, we even allowed ‘Little Kitty’ to settle into our already cramped sleeping quarters. But only for one night.

Come morning, it was time to pack up and find

a parking place on the belvedere that overlooks the Ponte Vecchio, the Arno River and the domes of Florence itself. Then we’d bike downhill and explore the city. We said good-bye to our little friend and shooed her out. As I was paying the campground operator, persistent Little Kitty managed to once again climb into our van. “Who does that thing belong to?” I asked.

“Nobody. She’s a gatto randagio, just a stray.”

That’s right, she was no longer a stray. We couldn’t have her bike with us and we couldn’t leave her in the van. It would soon become too hot. We had her take up residence in the coolness under the van and provided her with dish of water. That evening, and the next, she was there, waiting for us.

Until, the evening of our third return. There she was, but no greeting from her. Dead! No sign of an injury. We cried, buried her, and set off for Vienna.

Even though these events took place over 48 years ago and 5,662 km afar, the feelings and details are still fresh in my mind. However, that was just the beginning of my association with cats. Stay tuned, more to come.

Duncan could be part of a Tory cabinet

Claude McIntosh MAC’S MUSINGS

The federal riding that includes Cornwall hasn’t been represented by a cabinet minister since Ed Lumley served in the Trudeau-Turner Liberal governments from 1980-84.

If the political stars align for Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives, that could change.

It isn’t easy to pull off a majority government in the Canadian multi-party system, but polling suggests the Poilievre-led Tories have a shot at securing the reins of power in the next federal election.

If this happens, Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry MP Eric Duncan (yes, he’ll be re-elected) will be on Poilievre’s short list for a cabinet post.

He’s young (age 35), articulate and has an impressive political career that started when he was a teen-age councillor in North Dundas.

Duncan knocked down a huge barrier when he became the first openly gay Conservative MP.

Former Alexandria-Cornwall Diocese Bishop Paul-Andre Durocher will be on the hot seat at the Children’s Treatment Centre roast in June.

He is current archbishop of Gatineau, a post he has held since leaving the AlexandriaCornwall Diocese in 2011.

He replaced the autocratic Eugene Larocque as Bishop of Alexandria-Cornwall Diocese in 2002. To say Durocher, who grew up in Timmins, was a breath of fresh air would be a huge understatement. Larocque was as old school as old school can be.

Somebody high up in the chain of command recognized that damage control was needed and made the right call on Durocher as Larocque’s replacement.

It would not be a stretch to say that Durocher became the most popular bishop in the history of the diocese.

Larocque’s handling of sexual abuse claims against priests that led to the inquiry was disastrous. When he testified at the inquiry he seemed more concerned about missing his brother’s birthday party than alleged victims.

When he departed, I wrote a column critical of his leadership. Three people chewed me out, one a Protestant clergyman, the other CWL members.

That didn’t surprise me. What surprised me was the number of prominent Catholics who agreed with my view, one a former director of education of the Catholic school board who battled with Larocque on who was going to run the school board.

The bishop lost the battle but stopped talking to the director.

Durocher, a former president of the Canadian Conference of Bishops, in 2015 told the Catholic News that the Church should open the door for the ordination of female deacons and that women should be given “decision-making” positions.

That in the Roman Catholic Church is ultra-progressive thinking that gives the old guard that still holds sway an acute case of indigestion.

AROUND’N’BOUT A friend who lives in the Excited States of America, and who has never been to Canada, (typical American who knows zippo about Canada) asked what our three major political parties stood for. In a nutshell, I said, Conservatives would rather make money, the NDP would rather spend money and the Liberals would rather call another conference to talk about money. ... John “Moose” Wensink wasn’t the most penalized Cornwall Royals player. It was Dave Allison who warmed the sin bin for 889 minutes in 189 games. Wensink, who became one of Don Cherry’s favourite Big Bad Bruins, piled up 562 penalty minutes over 169 games in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. He was the quintessential attitude adjuster that every team-mate wants to be with on the ice.

CAPE SUCCESS!

New Location(s) Proposed for Cornwall Youth Space

KRYSTINE THERRIAULT ktherriault@seawaynews.media

At the March 27, 2023, meeting of City Council, delegates from the Cornwall Police Service and the Optimist Club of Cornwall requested the use of the land at 504 Fourth Street East (former Bob Turner/Joe St. Denis Field) for a teen-focused Cornwall Youth Space.

This week, the Department of Planning and Recreation returned to council with a report suggesting that the Cornwall Youth Space be developed at Lamoureux Park, Mattice Park, or a combination of the two instead.

In the audience once again were members

of the Youth Advisory Committee, as well as the Optimist Club’s Terry Muir and members of the Cornwall Police Service.

The report states that while the Recreation Master Plan supports the development of teen-focused recreation amenities, the idea of creating a park exclusively for teens goes against the municipality’s goal of inclusivity.

Another reason for this redirection is the current state of the property at 504 Fourth Street East.

Administration found that the existing concrete slabs from the Bob Turner Memorial Centre and adjacent parking lot and tennis courts are in bad condition. They would need

Future of Property at 504 Fourth Street East in Question

KRYSTINE THERRIAULT ktherriault@seawaynews.media

A report presented to Cornwall City Council by the Department of Planning, Development and Recreation recommended that council vote to designate the municipally owned vacant land at 504 Fourth Street East (former site of Bob Turner/Joe St. Denis Field) for future affordable housing development.

This land was earmarked for future affordable housing development as part of the council-approved Housing Revitalization Plan. Some factors that make it an ideal spot for future development include full municipal water and sanitary sewer services available on site that can support medium to higher density development as well as an existing bus stop on the North side of the property on Fourth Street East.

To preserve the naming of the previous athletic site(s), the report explains that a future housing development would be named Bob Turner Court, while parkland built to serve the neighbourhood and surrounding areas would be

named Joe St. Denis Park.

This land redevelopment also aligns with the city’s Recreation Master Plan, which identified the potential relocation of the Joe St. Denis Football Field in 2009. The Recreation Master Plan Update adopted in 2021 features the recommendation to install a multi-use artificial turf field with lights at the Benson Centre – an estimated $3 million dollar project.

Ultimately, council chose to defer this recommendation from the Department of Planning, Development and Recreation, seeing as the property in question is also being considered for the proposed Cornwall Youth Space.

“We understand that housing is something that we have no choice but to approach in an… I want to say… aggressive manner. We need more housing,” said councillor Good with a caveat.

“I’m very troubled by the prospect of losing inner city parkland in order to create such housing. I believe there are alternatives in order to achieve both of these but were not going to get back this park space once we lose it.”

City of Cornwall Proclamations –From April 24th Council Meeting

to be removed or replaced as part of any future development – at an estimated cost of $250,000.

Due of the refrigeration system that was used to maintain the ice at the Bob Turner, there could also be contaminated soil under the concrete slabs. This means an environmental assessment would most likely need to be completed before future development.

The main concern is that the cost of remediation and fixing up the property would use up most of the $600,000 grant applied for by the Cornwall Police Service, leaving little money to build the amenities desired by local youth.

Despite these concerns, the consensus was that Lamoureux and Mattice Parks are likely not appropriate alternatives for the proposed space. Rather than approve the report and its recommendations, council voted on a deferral so that they could take more time to speak with community stakeholders before making a decision.

“I think we need to engage all of our community partners whether that’s an open house or a town hall meeting,” said councillor Todd Bennett, “We’re only going to get one shot at doing this, this youth centre, and I don’t think we should rush into it. I think we should investigate all avenues to make sure it’s done correctly the first time.”

The Benson Centre was buzzing with the kick-off of the 2023 edition of Cornwall & Area Pop Event - CAPE! MPP Nolan Quinn and MP Eric Duncan even met Ed the Sock and survived! This two-day showcase, organized by Carol and Randy Sauve, drew 1000’s of visitors and features celebrity guests, artists, cosplayers, exhibitors, and panels.

4 power skills you can learn

Employers traditionally consider soft skills, like adaptability and resilience, desirable but lower priority than role-specific hard skills. However, as demands for specialized expertise shift ever-increasingly, those consistent, nice-to-have traits are becoming so valuable that HR professionals are now calling them power skills. Here are four learnable power skills you can upgrade through

training or coaching.

1. Mindfulness. If you already have a personal mindfulness practice, you know how beneficial it is to your mind and body. Mindfulness training can also help you navigate challenging workplace situations and improve your job performance.

2. Diversity, equity and inclusion. Many organizations seek to build social and economic value by representing society in full rather than select groups. You can add value to your resume and enrich your work experience if you promote diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace.

3. Communication. From public speaking to face-to-face conversations and Zoom etiquette, there’s always room to improve your communication skills. Select a communication skill you’d like to improve upon; you’re sure to find a course or a tutor to help you grow your skill set.

4. Conflict resolution. Some people are born peacemakers, but anyone can learn effective strategies for handling workplace conflicts. Whether you’re in leadership and must moderate employee disagreements or you want to improve engagement with colleagues, conflict resolution training can help.

Explore the lifelong learning course offerings at your local college or university to discover opportunities to expand your power skill toolkit. For more information plus additional web job postings visit Choosecornwall.ca or call 613-933-0074

Cornwall Kinsmen Club Meals on Wheels

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 was undertaken internally 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 $500 to Meals on Wheels falls under the community service thrust of our strategy. Generally, this includes organizations that carry out charitable activities for the benefit of the whole community.

Meals on Wheels (Cornwall) provides friendly volunteers and staff helping vulnerable seniors and people with disabilities sat healthy at home with nutritious meals delivered to their door

We partner with community organizations to address the issues of hunger and poverty, to improve access to food and to create awareness of the issues we have locally.

The Kinsmen Club wishes to thank all our community supporters that make these donations possible. TV Bingo players & merchants, participants at some of our events (Kinsmen Farmers Market, Pizza Party) and our other fundraising events.

Senator Clement Facilitates Bill to Amalgamate Archdiocese and Diocese

Ottawa, Ontario – Today, Senator Bernadette Clement launched the process to complete an amalgamation that’s been years in the making. She is grateful to Sénatrice Pierrette Ringuette and her team, who started the task in partnership with the Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall.

In 2020, the Pope announced canonical amalgamation of the Diocese of AlexandriaCornwall and the Archdiocese of Ottawa, creating the Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall. A private bill introduced in the Senate is necessary to complete the civil amalgamation.

“I remember participating in community consultations at several years ago,” said Senator Clement, former mayor of Cornwall. “It was a passionate, respectful conversation during which parishioners clearly stated that they wanted their voices to be heard, even as part of a larger archdiocese.”

The first step to passing the private bill in the Senate is the tabling of the petition, which took place on April 18. Shortly thereafter, the bill is introduced, and debate follows. Historically, private bills were used to grant divorces, but they can also amend existing acts of incorporation – which is the case here.

The bill will merge The Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation of Ottawa and The Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation for the Diocese of Alexandria-Cornwall. The property, liabilities, and any claims of the amalgamating dioceses will be the responsibility of the newly

amalgamated corporation.

“I hope Eastern Ontario parishioners take a look at this procedure by watching proceedings, reading speeches, and reaching out to my office with any questions,” said Clement. Senator Clement expects to speak to the bill on Tuesday, April 25. To watch proceedings, visit https://senparlvu.parl.gc.ca/Harmony.

Margaret leaves her beloved husband Lloyd Robert Rousseau, children: Pat (Angela), Ann, Ronald (Debbie), Robert (Sheila), Billy (Daisy). Margaret was cherished by her many wonderful Grand and Great Grandchildren. Her spirit lives on in them. Predeceased by parents Frank and Annie (neé Maloney) Quinn of Saint Andrews West, Sisters; Irene, Teresa, Inez, Kathleen, Frances, Brothers; Maynard, Alfred and Ernie. She is the last of her generation of the Quinn family. Before Margaret began her own family with Lloyd she was a respected nurse in the Cornwall community. Above all, Mom loved her family. She loved laughter, playing bridge, cooking up a lifetime of extraordinary meals, having family Jeopardy nights and our many pets. She will be deeply missed as the very heart of our family. A memorial service will be held at Saint Columban’s Church Saturday, May 20th at 10 AM. As an expression of sympathy in honour of Margaret, a donation to Hospice Cornwall would be appreciated.

Liberal Budget is More of the Same Failed Approach

Eric Duncan 3 Minutes

with the MP

There should be no surprise that my Conservative colleagues and I are firmly opposed to the recent Liberal-NDP budget. I continue to argue that after 8 years of the Trudeau government, there are countless failures when it comes to wasteful spending, higher taxes, rising crime rates, and eroding trust in government. With a growing $40 billion deficit and no plan to balance the budget, the spending plan of the Liberals and NDP simply doubles down on the same failed approach.

The reality is that we are in the economic mess today because of the exact same ideas the Liberals and NDP are proposing to continue.

Inflation has hit 40-year highs. One in five Canadians are skipping meals because they simply cannot afford their groceries. The increasing cost of rent has become unaffordable, and the dream of homeownership continues to be just that, a dream, for far too many.

The most basic government services have never been more difficult to access, despite record amounts of spending and debt.

The good news: Canada remains the greatest country in the world. We have overcome adversity before, giving hope to people who are struggling.

shortcomings and keep them accountable to Parliament and to Canadians. It is also important to provide a contrast and an alternative approach.

That is why I have been proud to work alongside our leader Pierre Poilievre, as Conservatives have put forward real and tangible solutions to address the challenges facing Canadians.

To get our debt and deficit under control, government spending needs to be capped and wasteful spending needs to be cut. Conservatives would bring in a “dollar-for-dollar” law, which would require the government to find a dollar of savings for every new dollar of spending.

The unfair, unnecessary, and ineffective Liberal carbon tax should be scrapped, so Canadians can afford to fill their gas tanks, heat their homes, and put food on their tables. The carbon tax drives up transportation costs, which drives up the price of food and only adds to the serious and painful financial pressures facing families in Cornwall, SD&G and Akwesasne.

On health care, immigration, and our workforce: Conservatives will create a national “Blue Seal Standard” to quickly license professionals, like doctors and nurses, who move from other provinces and countries and verify their qualifications. This will address the labour shortage that is currently crippling our healthcare system.

Accountability and contrast are key for a healthy democracy. Everything feels broken

Grand Opening of Agape’s Feeding Our Community Lottery Booth

KRYSTINE THERRIAULT ktherriault@seawaynews.media

On April 15, 2023, the Agape Centre Cornwall held a grand opening event for their new Feeding Our Community Lottery Booth, located on the second floor of Cornwall Square.

All profits from this new fundraising initiative will help the Agape Centre stock the

Community Market and serve hot meals in the Community Kitchen. The Feeding Our Community Lottery Booth also created jobs in the community, with three full-time and two part-time staff members on board.

“With our numbers going up every month we have to look into new ways to raise money,” said Executive Director Lisa Duprau.

Why aren’t there any banks in the east side of town? Only RBC has an ATM in the east side. BMO had one at the Square, but they removed it, now BMO clients have to drive all the way across town to deposit a cheque or withdraw cash. – Roger

The Square Is A Changing! How Time Flies.

FROM THE SQUARE

Did you know that this column is celebrating its first-year anniversary of providing readers with insight, information and some humor about Cornwall Square, its events and its people. I look forward to continuing this column and providing you with news as it happens here at the Square.

Did you know that the roadway between the mall parking garage and the Cornwall Square retail building is a designated Fire Lane and as such parking is not allowed. The Fire Lane is also part of the Cornwall Square property along with the parking garage, the retail building and the surface parking lots between Sydney and Pitt Streets, Water Street East and First Street.

Did you know that this past week we bid farewell to Amanda, one of our Food Court attendants and following a short job posting period and responses, we have hired Jeanette who joined the Cornwall Square team on Tuesday. Welcome Jeanette.

Did you know that Cornwall Square will sponsor a Mother’s Day contest again this year. This year’s theme is “The Most valuable lesson I learned from my Mom is……” in 2 sentences or less.

Did you know that the Mall Cart is now available for rental either by the day, weekend, week or month. The mall cart is a great way to test a new concept.

Jane in Bonville wonders why war amps tag organization cannot expand its organization to include dog tags. I use mine for that on my chihuahua’s collar, not that she runs away (Ok twice). If you should ever see a small crazy dog running around in Bonville, please don’t throw her in a mailbox... she gets cold real easy!!!!!!!!!

JOKE OF THE WEEK

Have you heard the joke about yoga. Nevermind its a bit of a stretch.

You need to know that the Fire Lane is not a clone of the straightaway at the Indianapolis Speedway, it is an internal roadway with a speed limit of 15 KMH. We recently installed a pair of STOP signs on either direction of the Fire Lane at the mall entrance so that pedestrians crossing from the parking garage to the mall can do so safely as cars would speed from one end of the Fire Lane to the other without regard for pedestrian safety. I personally witnessed an SUV turn from Pitt Street and accelerate all the way through the Fire Lane to the parking lot in front of Dollarama. The vehicle blew by the STOP

Did you know that Wok Express’ Sesame Chicken-Fried Rice-Vegetable combo is super tasty. Give it a try. If you are a noodle fan, ditch the rice and have the noodles as part of the combo.

Did you know that the Focus Art Association’s 2023 Spring Art Exhibition has some very interesting works on display. I had the pleasure of viewing the local artwork on exhibit on Opening Night, last Thursday. I was amazed at both the number of works and especially the quality of the paintings. Every visitor can cast a ballot for the “Fan Favorite” work of art creating a communal jury opinion for all the pieces on display. The final four days of the Spring Art are Thursday April 27th to Sunday April 30th. Come and support your local artists.

Les artistes de Cornouailles gagnent à l’exposition d’art de Massena

ARTICLE ET PHOTOS

PAR ADELE CONSTANTINEAU

Après une interruption de trois ans, plusieurs artistes de Cornwall ont à nouveau participé à une exposition d’art avec l’association des artistes de Massena à la bibliothèque locale de Massena.

Comme il s’agissait d’une exposition conjointe d’élèves du secondaire et d’adultes et non d’une exposition avec jury, les œuvres d’art ont été jugées par le groupe opposé, ce qui est assez intéressant. Les œuvres des élèves ont été jugées par les adultes et inversement, les œuvres des adultes ont été jugées par les élèves.

La cérémonie de remise des prix a eu lieu le samedi 11 mars. Après avoir nommé quelques mentions honorables, parmi tant

d’œuvres d’art impressionnantes, les prix de la première et de la troisième place dans la catégorie des adultes ont été décernés aux artistes de Cornwall : Glenda Gibson a remporté le premier prix pour son aquarelle “I’ve Got the Blues” et Linda Lou Phillips a remporté le troisième prix pour son œuvre mixte “Mermaids Embrace”.

Félicitations aux deux artistes et à tous les gagnants.

L’exposition se poursuit jusqu’au 25 mars.

1er prix - Aquarelle “I’ve Got the Blues” de Glenda Gibson (Glenda était absente) prix accepté par Adele C.

3ème place - “Mermaid Embrace” de Linda Lou Phillips, technique mixte

Voici quelques astuces qui assureront la réussite de votre réception!

Commencez la veille

Limitez le stress d’avoir à tout préparer le matin même en effectuant certaines des étapes le jour précédent. Vous pouvez, par exemple, laver et couper les fruits qui se conserveront bien au réfrigérateur. La crème fouettée et la crème pâtissière se font également très bien à l’avance. Vous souhaitez miser sur des portions individuelles et faciles à distribuer le jour J? Pensez à des verrines de yogourt et de baies auxquelles vous ajouterez du granola, par exemple. L’objectif est que vous n’ayez principalement que des plats à réchauffer le lendemain.

Misez sur la fraîcheur locale

Les repas-partage (potluck) sont fréquents dans le temps des Fêtes. Pour apporter un plat qui se transporte bien et qui se cuisine aisément à l’avance, optez pour l’un de ceux-ci!

• Salade : à base de pommes de terre, d’orge, de quinoa ou de couscous, la salade est un excellent choix qui ne nécessite pas d’être réchauffé avant de s’attabler.

• Boulettes de viande : utilisez la viande de votre choix (porc, bœuf, poulet, etc.) ou faites un mélange, ajoutez quelques assaisonnements et complétez avec une savoureuse sauce. Il ne restera qu’à réchauffer le tout quelques minutes!

• Crevettes marinées : faciles à préparer, elles se conservent quelques jours au réfrigérateur et s’allient parfaitement avec des craquelins, du pain et du fromage.

• Riz : qu’il soit blanc, brun ou sauvage, le riz est un accompagnement qui se marie à merveille avec la majorité des plats. Donnezlui une touche raffinée en le garnissant de noix grillées, de fines herbes ou de fruits séchés, par exemple.

• Macarons : ces bouchées sucrées et légè res qui se dégustent sur le pouce

N’hésitez pas à les ajouter au menu!

Vous pouvez aussi aromatiser les cafés avec votre liqueur favorite. Pour combler les enfants, le chocolat chaud ou le jus de fruits frais sont des choix gagnants!

Pour la touche finale, n’oubliez pas de décorer votre table avec quelques accessoires (bougies, serviettes, etc.) festifs.

et le diocèse

Ottawa, Ontario - Aujourd’hui, la sénatrice Bernadette Clement a lancé le processus visant à compléter une fusion en cours depuis des années. Elle est reconnaissante à la sénatrice Pierrette Ringuette et à son équipe, qui ont entrepris cette tâche en partenariat avec l’archidiocèse d’Ottawa-Cornwall.

En 2020, le pape a annoncé la fusion canonique du diocèse d’Alexandria-Cornwall et de l’archidiocèse d’Ottawa, créant ainsi l’archidiocèse d’Ottawa-Cornwall. Un projet de loi privé déposé au Sénat est nécessaire pour compléter la fusion civile.

“Je me souviens d’avoir participé à des consultations communautaires il y a plusieurs années”, a déclaré la sénatrice Clement, ancienne mairesse de Cornwall. “Il s’agissait d’une conversation passionnée et respectueuse au cours de laquelle les paroissiens ont clairement indiqué qu’ils voulaient que leur voix soient entendues, même s’ils faisaient partie d’un archidiocèse plus grand.”

La première étape de l’adoption du projet de loi privé au Sénat est le dépôt de la pétition, qui a eu lieu le 18 avril. Peu après, le projet de loi est présenté et le débat s’ensuit.

Historiquement, les projets de loi privés étaient utilisés pour accorder des divorces, mais ils peuvent également modifier des actes constitutifs existants, ce qui est le cas ici.

Le projet de loi fusionne la Corporation épiscopale catholique romaine d’Ottawa et la Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation, Diocese of Alexandria-Cornwall. Les biens, les dettes et les réclamations des diocèses fusionnés relèveront de la responsabilité de la nouvelle corporation fusionnée.

“J’espère que les paroissiens de l’est de l’Ontario prendront connaissance de cette procédure en regardant les débats, en lisant les discours et en contactant mon bureau pour toute question”, a déclaré la sénatrice Clement.

La sénatrice Clement prévoit prendre la parole sur le projet de loi le mardi 25 avril. Pour suivre les débats, visitez le site https://senparlvu.parl.gc.ca/Harmony/fr.

Lorsqu’il est question d’achat local, beaucoup de consommateurs se sentent interpellés, mais tous ne se ressemblent pas! Les raisons pour encourager cette forme de consommation varient en effet d’un individu à l’autre, en fonction des valeurs et des priorités de chacun. Quel type de passionné vous représente le plus? À vous de le découvrir!

1. L’ÉCOLOGISTE

Ce dernier affectionne les produits régionaux parce qu’ils n’ont pas nécessité des quantités astronomiques de combustibles fossiles pour arriver à destination. Il sait également que le transport de nourriture sur de longues distances implique souvent l’usage d’agents chimiques ou de procédés douteux visant à préserver l’intégrité des aliments pendant leur périple sur la route, en mer ou dans les airs.

2. L’HUMANISTE

De son côté, l’humaniste est conscient que les conditions de travail à l’étranger ne sont pas toujours aussi respectueuses

des droits de la personne qu’ici. Ayant à cœur le bien-être de ses semblables, ce défenseur croit que l’achat local lui permet de s’assurer que les aliments et les objets qu’il achète ont été produits dans un pays où la législation encadre le salaire et la qualité de vie des ouvriers.

3. LE PATRIOTE

Celui-ci réfléchit sans cesse à l’impact de ses choix sur l’économie de sa région. En favorisant les produits locaux, il encourage l’entrepreneuriat et contribue à la création et au maintien d’emplois dans sa communauté. Il est aussi conscient que l’achat local augmente la stabilité économique et la résilience de sa collectivité, particulièrement dans une ère d’incertitudes et de bouleversements à l’échelle mondiale.

Vous reconnaissez-vous dans l’un de ces profils? Ou vous décrivent-ils tous? Quelles que soient vos motivations pour acheter localement, il s’agit dans tous les cas d’un choix judicieux!

3 fervents d’achat local : à quel type vous identifiez-vous?

Local Comedian Mark Vincent Records First Album at SVTC

KRYSTINE THERRIAULT ktherriault@seawaynews.media

What started at local Yuk Yuk’s Comedy Nights evolved into a decade-long passion for Vincent, who will record his first album, Am I A Millennial? at the Seaway Valley Theatre Company later this month.

“This year I’ve been 10 years in comedy,” Vincent told Seaway News, “I was just going to headline a show then it ended up turning into: we’re going to record the audio for an album. One thing led to another, now we’re doing video.”

Over the last ten years, Vincent has played at nearly every venue in Cornwall, as well as

venues in Ottawa, Toronto, Kingston, and Montreal. With a recorded album available on YouTube and posted as TikToks/Reels, Mark Vincent will expose his work to an even wider audience.

Am I A Millennial? is material that Vincent has been working on and refining for the last ten years. Once recorded, he plans to start working on new material.

“I’m kind of a storyteller. I talk about my life, my kids, my struggles as a dad. The album is called Am I A Millennial? So, there’s a lot of talking about the different generations,” Vincent shared, “Growing up without the internet and getting it later in my life compared to raising kids in a fully techno -

logical world.”

Mark Vincent and his crew at Off Your Rocker have raised thousands of dollars for local charities since they started hosting shows.

Some charities they have donated to include Diversity Cornwall, Cornwall District Minor Baseball, Cornwall Hospice, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and Champs Eastside Boxing.

Am I A Millennial? is being recorded over on Friday, April 28th and Saturday, April 29th, with several local comedians opening. Tickets are available at Nativity Bowling, Clement Barber Shop, and online.
