That’s A LOT of garbage!
It was on a sunny September 16 that The Great St. Lawrence River Cleanup concluded. Before the event, 10 tonnes of garbage had been taken out of the river, with organizers hoping to remove another two tonnes on the last day of the event.

There’s a new executive director at the Agapè Centre. The organization’s board of directors recently announced that they hired Diane Plourde to fill the position starting on October 3. “I’m very team oriented and I think that with many people you can accomplish great things,” said Plourde. “I’m a believer in building networks.” Plourde’s vision is to see the Agapè Centre as an agency that collaborates with everyone and is trulymeeting the needs of anyone that has food insecurities. “Andmaybe that’s in different ways than how it’s being done right now,” she added. The Cornwallite is the founding executive director of Victim Services of SDG&A, and has worked there for the past 11 years. She cites setting up the agency from scratch

as one of her biggest challenges and accomplishments to date. “I started the program from a box of binders and went from two staff members and one program to seven staff members and several programs,” she commented. Plourde says her first undertaking as executive director for the local food bank and soup kitchen will be to look to the community for their input. “I have a vision for the Agapè Centre, but want to make sure it’s aligned with our community’s needs, and plan on doing stakeholder consultations and an environmental scan to set an appropriate strategic direction for the agency,” explained Plourde. “I plan on consulting with all staff members, donors, clients and partner agencies, to see what is being done well, what may be improved, and what are some opportunities for growth.” Jim Healey, chair of the Agapè Centre’s board of directors, stated that three key factors attracted the interview committee
to select Plourde for the position: her proven leadership and experience to lead the next phase of development; she is fluently bilingual; and she has successfully worked collaboratively with other agencies. “We believe Diane will use her collaborative skills to build relationships in the community as well as with staff and volunteers at the Agapè Centre,” said Healey. “We are excited to begin this new relationship and continue themuch needed work in the community.” Plourde is currently finishing a Master in Philanthropy and Non-Profit Leadership at Carleton University, to complement her undergraduate degree in Psychology. “At the base of many philanthropic actions is the issue of poverty, so that has opened up my eyes to this area of need,” she mentioned. Plourde confided she was drawn to the position because she has seen the growing needs of people who are food insecure through her work with Victim Services.
“We see it first hand,” she expressed. “Sometimes our responders visit the homes. We know that it’s there. Poverty is something that is real and touches upon so many aspects,” remarked Plourde. “I think that the Agapè Centre is a vital community service and would like to continuemy professional journey by helping the agency reach its full potential.” The centre’s new director wants to look at facilitating connections between clients and partnering agencies to help better meet people’s needs. “Meeting their needs for food is one thing,” Plourde claimed. “Maslow’s hierarchy shows that if you don’t tend to basic needs, if people are worried about eating tomorrow, they’re not going to get help for something they really need help with right now. But if they know that they have access to healthy food, thenmaybe they’ll feel strong enough, healthy enough to seek additional support. Can we connect them and help them with that?Make services more accessible? I don’t
know but it is worth exploring through consultations with our many stakeholders.” While the organization’s new leader is not planning on turning the Agapè Centre into an agency that does everything, she pointed out she does want to explore enhanced collaborations. Recognizing some of the criticism the charity has incurred over the years, Plourde wants to shed some insight and help change the public’s perspective by hosting an open house in the spring, inviting community members and agencies to see the great work that happens within the centre’s walls. “I think people would appreciate being able to come in and see the work that goes into maintaining an operation like this. People hear a lot of things, some positive, some negative, some truthful, some less truthful, so I think the community needs the opportunity to come and see the great work that takes place and the demands of maintaining such essential services,” insisted Plourde.

Sainte-Croix fermera ses portes après Noël
Une rumeur qui circulait auprès des paroissiens francophones catholiques de Cornwall se serait avérée vraie. L’Archevêque d’Ottawa et administrateur apostolique du diocèse d’Alexandria-Cornwall, Mgr Terrence Prendergast, a déclaré que la paroisse Sainte-Croix fermera ses portes suivant les célébrations de Noël. « En juin dernier, j’ai reçu une recommandation de l’équipe pastorale, du conseil de pastorale et des conseils des finances visant la restructuration des trois paroisses Nativité, Saint-Félix et Sainte-Croix, a fait valoir Mgr Prendergast. Il a été recommandé que les trois paroisses actuelles deviennent une seule paroisse francophone pour le secteur de l’est de la ville de Cornwall. » Citant vouloir favoriser l’éclosion d’une paroisse qui chercherait à être plus active et plus vivante, Mgr Prendergast a affirmé avoir pris la décision de fermer Sainte-Croix suivant l’avis de plusieurs personnes compétentes. « J’ai décidé de fermer l’église Sainte-Croix à la fin de cette année, après les célébrations de Noël », a-t-il déclaré. Bien que l’avenir de l’église Sainte-Croix soit déjà décidé, celui de la cocathédrale La Nativité demeure flou. Bien que Mgr Prendergast ait souligné qu’elle restera bien ouverte pour l’instant, rien ne semble pointer bien loin. « L’église de La Nativité continuera d’être utilisée pour les célébrations diocésaines ponctuelles jusqu’à la fin de l’année pastorale 2016-2017, a-t-il ajouté. » C’est donc en juillet prochain qu’une décision finale sera prise quant à l’avenir du mastodonte du chemin Montréal. — photo Francis Racine

Jour des Franco-Ontariens et des Franco-Ontariennes Loi de 2001 sur l’emblème franco-ontarien. La conception du drapeau
NOUS SOMMES FIERS DE NOTRE FRANCOPHONIE UNIQUE ET PUISSANTE!
Forte de près de 612 000 membres, la communauté francophone de l’Ontario est la plus importante au Canada à l’extérieur du Québec. Le 25 septembre, Jour des Franco- Ontariens et des Franco-Ontariennes – ainsi nommé officiellement depuis 2010 – est l’occasion parfaite de célébrer la communauté francophone de l’Ontario et sa riche histoire. Créé par Gaétan Gervais et Michel Dupuis, l’un professeur d’histoire et l’autre étudiant en sciences politiques à l’Université Laurentienne de Sudbury, le drapeau franco- ontarien a été hissé pour la toute première fois sur le campus de leur établissement le 25 septembre 1975. Ce drapeau, officiellement reconnu en 2001, est devenu l’emblème de la communauté franco-ontarienne. Lisez la
L’emblème de la communauté franco- ontarienne se compose de deux bandes verticales aux couleurs différentes : la première, verte, comporte en son centre un lys blanc, évocateur de la francophonie dans le monde entier; la seconde, blanche, comporte en son centre l’esquisse verte d’un trillium, le symbole floral de l’Ontario. Le vert représente l’été et le blanc l’hiver soit, ensemble, la diversité du climat ontarien. Pourquoi donc ne pas arborez le drapeau sur votre plaque d’immatriculation? En effet, ce drapeau fait partie des éléments graphiques que vous pouvez ajouter à votre plaque d’immatriculation et commander en ligne auprès de Service Ontario.

One in three women worldwide experience some form of sexual violence or intimate partner violence, whereas one in six men experience sexual violence. Overall, less than 50 per cent of victims report these crimes. That’s why close to 100 people took part in this year’s Take Back the Night , an event held worldwide that aims at ending sexual violence. The group travelled down McConnell Avenue to Montreal Road, turning up Belmont to reach back where they had started, the Équipe Psycho-Sociale headquarters. — photos Francis Racine Taking back the night

Canadian treasures CANADA: NATURAL SOURCE OF PRIDE SINCE 1867
Quiz TEST YOUR CANADIAN KNOWLEDGE
A life of firsts in flying colour
QUESTION 1: Which Canadian painter died under mysterious circumstances in a boating accident in 1917?
Born in Vancouver in 1905, Elizabeth Muriel Gregory MacGill, known as Elsie, was the youngest child of a well-known family. Her father was an acclaimed lawyer, and her mother, Helen Gregory MacGill, was Brit- ish Columbia’s first female judge. However, when Elsie was twelve, her family fell upon hard financial times that would last through the war years. The young girl’s exceptional knack for fixing things played a large role in keeping the MacGills afloat, and led her parents to encourage her to pursue a career in the male-dominated field of engineering. From 1923 to 1927, MacGill studied applied science in engineering at the University of Toronto. When she graduated, she became the first Canadian woman to earn a degree in electrical engineering. She went on to enrol in the University of Michigan’s Masters of Science in engi- neering program, specializing in aeronautical engineering. It was dur- ing her time in Michigan that she first worked on the design, research and development of aircraft. In 1929, she made history by becoming the first woman in North America—and likely the world—to receive a Masters in aeronautical engineering. In 1934, Elsie MacGill started work at Fairchild Aircraft in Montreal, where she stood out not only because of her gender, but also her excep- tional talent. This reputation led her to be elected to the Engineering Institute of Canada in 1938—another first for a woman. After nearly a decade at Fairchild, she was named chief aeronautical engineer at Canadian Car & Foundry (CanCar) in Fort William. Holding such a posi- tion was unheard of for a woman at the time, but MacGill didn’t let the
pressure of being the first get in the way of her performance. During her time at CanCar she designed a new training aircraft, the Maple Leaf Trainer II, before being put in charge of a large-scale project for the Royal Air Force: the production of the Hawker Hurricane. Her work on this fighter craft nearly single-handedly built Canada’s reputation as an aircraft construction powerhouse during the SecondWorldWar, earning her the nickname of Queen of the Hurricanes. In 1943, MacGill left CanCar to open an aeronautics consulting busi- ness in Toronto. A few years later, she became the first woman to serve as technical advisor for the International Civil Aviation Organization, for which she helped draft the International Air Worthiness regulations for the design and production of commercial aircraft. Later, she was named Chairman of the United Nations Stress Analysis Committee, and was—you guessed it—the first woman ever to chair a UN committee. In the following years, inspired by the life of her mother, MacGill devoted most of her time to women’s rights advocacy, eventually be- coming a member of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women. Elsie MacGill died in 1980 after dedicating her life to engineering and activism. The long list of honours and awards she received includes the Order of Canada and the Amelia Earhart Medal; she became a member of the Canadian Aviation Hall of Fame in 1983 and was one of the found- ing inductees in the Canadian Science and Engineering Hall of Fame. But above all, she showedmillions of girls in Canada and the world that they could accomplish just as much as their male counterparts—if not more.

Canada’s Japanese community It’s commonly agreed upon by historians that the first Japanese settler in Canada was Manzo Nagano, who moved from Japan to Victoria, British Columbia, in 1877. Following Nagano’s arrival, a steady flow of Japanese people immigrated to Canada until the 1920s. However, the early history of Japanese immigrants in Canada is clouded by racism and marginalization up until the late 1940s. The political and social climate of the era was heav- ily influenced by wartime rivalries, and the Japanese community was one of themost stigmatized groups as a result. Tension between Canada and its residents of Japanese heritage peaked during the Second World War when
YUKON
Flower: fireweed
Yukon chose themagenta hued fireweed (Chamer- ion angustifolium) as its territorial emblem in 1957. It blooms abundantly from July to September in clearings and along roadsides. It’s often the first plant to germinate after a forest fire, making it a pioneer species. Seeds can remain dormant for years before sprouting.
the entire community was branded as a security threat. This led to human rights violations, including forced intern- ment in camps. In 1993, the federal government issued compensation and reparations to the Japanese community, and formally apologized for the injustices it carried out in the past. Despite their tumultuous history, today’s Japanese Canadians form a strong, vibrant community that’s well estab- lished throughout the country. Many illustrious Canadian figures have Japanese roots, including world-renowned en- vironmentalist David Suzuki, authors Ken Adachi and Hiromi Goto, Olympic gold medalist Vicky Sunohara (women’s hockey) and retired politician Bev Oda, who was the first-ever Japanese-Canadian MP and cabinet minister.

Terry Fox’s legacy runs on
Several participants took part in this year’s Terry Fox Run, held on September 18. The event that started at the Civic Complex, is a non-competitive event where people get together as individuals, families, and groups to raise money for cancer research. The Terry Fox Runs take place in over 9,000 communities across Canada every year, and are accessible to anyone, with no entry fee and no minimum pledge. Participants can run, walk, blade, or bike and most of all have fun while raising funds for cancer research. Pictured is Jackie Myers, a local cancer survivor. — photo Francis Racine Outdoor gym’s official opening The Rotary Clubs of Cornwall and Cornwall Sunrise invite residents to attend the official ceremony for turning over the new Rotary Outdoor Gym to the City of Cornwall. The Outdoor Gym has been installed in Lamoureux Park between the splash pad and the Wood House Museum. The ceremony will take place on September 22 at 5:30 p.m. Considerable planning has gone into making sure that this outdoor gym will provide a site and workout equipment to meet the needs of citizens with a wide range of abilities and ages. The use of the equipment at this facility is free to everyone and accessible at all hours; the equipment itself has been selected for durability and user friendliness. Demonstrations are planned to show the usage of the various pieces of equipment designed to enhance the fitness and wellbeing of our citizens. Both Rotary Clubs have made substantial financial commitments to this endeavour and a number of Cornwall and area contractors and businesses have been extremely important in moving this project to reality. The site includes an area featuring stones of various sizes; these stones, which can be engraved, continue to be available to individuals and corporate sponsors who make donations to help defray the cost of making this facility a very attractive addition to Cornwall’s waterfront park.- Francis Racine

Nouveau programme de prévention de chutes
Plus du tiers des personnes âgées sont victimes de chutes, ce qui peut avoir des effets dévastateurs tant sur le plan physique que psychologique. Ces chutes peuvent entraîner une invalidité, de la douleur chronique, la perte d’autonomie, une baisse de la qualité de vie et même la mort. Les chutes sont la cause principale de blessures chez les personnes âgées, en plus de constituer un fardeau important pour le système de santé, car, au Canada, le coût des soins directs que nécessite une chute est estimé à 2milliards de dollars annuellement. En septembre 2015, grâce au processus d’agrément dans le cadre duquel des évaluateurs autonomes évaluent la qualité et certains aspects de la sécurité des patients dans le fonctionnement quotidien de l’hôpital de Cornwall, celle-ci a appris qu’il y avait des lacunes dans son programme de prévention des chutes. Le personnel hospitalier réussissait très bien à évaluer les risques pour les patients hospitalisés, mais le programme devait être élargi pour inclure les patients qui visitent le Service d’urgence. Il fallait en outre refaire l’évaluation pendant que les patients hospitalisés faisaient une transition durant leur séjour. Le Comité des chutes de l’Hôpital de Cornwall a ajouté de nouvelles normes et de nouveaux outils de documentation à leur programme de prévention des chutes. Cette initiative représentait un engagement énorme, car il fallait former le personnel relativement aux nouvelles normes de prévention et de dépistage des chutes. Or, le temps est limité dans des services comme celui de l’urgence. Pour cette raison, l’évaluation du risque des patients en consultation externe a été
conçue pour que le personnel infirmier au triage puisse l’utiliser rapidement et facilement. C’est en mars 2016 que l’HCC a reçu l’avis officiel d’Agrément Canada que le

New Ontario Renovates applications A new application round is underway for Ontario Renovates, a popular home improvement program in Cornwall and the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. This new application round aims to assist priority groups. As such, it will target low and modest income youth (18-25) and seniors (55+) or individuals requiring accessibility modifications. Through Ontario Renovates, eligible homeowners can receive funding for urgent home repairs as well as modifications to make their homes more accessible. Since the program launched in 2012, approximately 350 homeowners in Cornwall and SDG have received assistance. “We are very pleased with the Provincial and Federal government announcement with respect to housing investments under the 2016 Social Infrastructure Fund (SIF). Part of that announcement includes additional funds for the very successful Ontario Renovates Program,” said Mellissa Morgan, Community Housing supervisor. “With this funding, there are also identified priority groups that we must target which include seniors, youth and individuals requiring accessibility modifications.As in the past, the ultimate goal is to help residents stay in their homes longer.” – Francis Racine

Two sub-watersheds within the South Nation Conservation (SNC) jurisdiction remain under severe drought conditions. The rest of the jurisdiction also continues to be in moderate drought conditions as originally issued on July 8. The Bearbrook and Upper South Nation River (Spencerville) sub-watersheds are currently in severe drought conditions. Despite recent rainfalls, streamflows in these areas remain below the 30 per cent of normal summer flows. The rest of the SNC jurisdiction remains in level II with less than 50 per cent of normal summer monthly flows. The weather forecasts no significant rainfall in the next couple of weeks. Low water levels can impact fish habitat, affect crop yields and tree health of newly planted seedlings. Environment Canada’s three-month forecast for September to November indicates above normal temperatures and normal precipitation for most of Eastern Ontario; however, a significant amount of rainfall across the jurisdiction is required for conditions to return to normal. Residents, businesses and other industries throughout the jurisdiction are encouraged to reduce their water consumption by 50%, by limiting non- essential water uses (e.g. lawn watering, car washing, etc.). — supplied photo
Sixième récipiendaire de la Promenade d’honneur Le Club Richelieu de Cornwall, en partenariat avec le Centre culturel de Cornwall, organise le dévoilement du sixième récipiendaire de la Promenade d’honneur. Cette cérémonie aura lieu le 23 septembre prochain, à 18 h, au Monument de la francophonie de Cornwall, inauguré en septembre 2010 au parc Lamoureux. Les réci- piendaires des dernières années sont Jeannine Séguin en 2011, Gérald G. Samson en 2012, Huguette Burroughs en 2013, Père Charles- Émile Claude en 2014 et Tina Charlebois en 2015. En plus d’assurer la vitalité du monument, cette initiative a comme but premier de signaler et de célébrer annuellement la contribution de francophones, vivants ou décédés, qui, par leur courage, leurs efforts extraordinaires et leur leadership, ont contribué d’une façon excep- tionnelle au développement et au bien-être de la communauté francophone de Cornwall. Afin de commémorer leurs réalisations, leur nom sera gravé sur une pierre de granit intégrée au pavé uni entourant le Monument de la franco- phonie. Après la cérémonie au Monument de la francophonie, l’ACFO-SDG invite les intéressés à une dégustation de vins et fromages au VIP Concourse du Centre civique. Veuillez confir- mer votre présence à la dégustation de vins et fromages à l’ACFO-SDG au 613-933-8104. – Francis Racine

YOUR HOROSCOPE for the week of September 18 to 24, 2016
THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: LEO, VIRGO AND LIBRA.
ARIES You may be faced with an expense significant enough to have to review your entire budget. By doing this you’ll realize that you can afford to buy a house or treat yourself to a trip. TAURUS Lots of action in store! Friends invite you to participate in some interesting social and sporting activities on a regular basis throughout the winter. GEMINI There’s confusion in the air, especially at work. A nice family getaway will enable you to recharge your batteries, even if you have the impression that it’ll be complicated to organize everything. CANCER If you suffer from chronic tiredness, you’ll benefit from making some small changes in your lifestyle. You may also feel the need to undertake a spiritual practice. LEO You’re in an excellent position to be given a promotion at work. You’ll have success where finances are concerned and your investments will perform well despite the economic situation. VIRGO The thought of a big trip will cross your mind. You also have an insatiable thirst for knowledge. Thanks to some extra money coming in, a large-scale project will be organized for you alone or with your family. LIBRA You’ll get some great news about financing for one of your dreams. You should not neglect your studies if you want to succeed. SCORPIO People are counting on you. They expect you to make a decision, which you may find difficult. Try to gather together as much information as possible in order to avoid disappointing anyone. SAGITTARIUS Working too hard may result in some fluctua- tions in your weight. A huge business suc- cess will force you to take a rest afterwards. CAPRICORN You will be warmly congratulated for a brilliant achievement. You’ll be given an award or a nomination in front of a crowd of cheering people. AQUARIUS You seek the comfort of your home this week. You’ll take the opportunity to move some furniture around and you’ll be able to clear your mind at the same time. PISCES You’ll have lots to say for yourself this week. You manage to lighten the mood in any conflictual situation. Your sense of humour will enable you to establish a good understanding and build harmony between people.
