The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) received its revised enrolment figures for the 2020-2021 school year. Total student enrolment is 13,022, which is a 0.8 per cent drop from the original projection. The number includes 2553 elementary and secondary students in the virtual learning programs, almost 20 per cent of the student population. – Gregg Chamberlain VIRTUAL SCHOOL REPORT The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) will not be setting up a virtual school system for Kindergarten to Grade 6 students. Trustees reviewed a 24-page education consultant’s report on the feasibility for a limited virtual school system during the pandemic. The report rejected the concept as unworkable. The report noted the lack of provincial support funding and also potential pro- blems with shifting staff and students over from the existing remote learning system to a separate virtual school system. – Gregg Chamberlain PLANNING FEES Hawkesbury developers will have new planning processing fees to work into their project calculations. Council approved changes to the municipal planning fees bylaw during its December 17 session before the Christmas break. The fee changes take effect January 2021. – Gregg Chamberlain

Two senior housing projects will get support from the United Counties of Prescott-Russell with their financial planning goals. During a special session December 17, members of the United Counties of Prescott- Russell council (UCPR) reviewed a letter from Gary J. Barton, chairman of the Vankleek Seniors Citizens Manor board. The non-profit agency asked for help from the UCPR with applications for funding from the federal/ provincial Rapid Housing Initiative (RHI) for two senior housing projects. “I am making a request to council on behalf of our board and that of La Résidence Lajoie in St-Albert,” stated Barton in his letter. Both groups are applying for RHI funding for their seniors housing expansion projects. Application approval could mean full funding for all the costs of their projects. But the deadline for RHI applications is December 21 when the funding program was announced JO/PWFNCFS i8FCFMJFWFXFBSFFMJHJCMFUPBQQMZBOE support from our community is very impor- tant,” stated Barton, adding that confirmed community support for projects increases their chances of funding approval. Barton suggested two options for the UCPR to provide a show of community sup- port for the projects to the RHI review board.

on UCPR council approved a resolution to have the social services department provide a letter confirming community support for the manor board’s RHI application before the December 21 application deadline. The resolution also guarantees “that the requested amount be granted in full through the available funding.” i8FSFHPJOH UPNBLF JUIBQQFO uTBJE Stéphane Parisien, UCPR chief administrator. i8FSFHJWJOHUIFNXIBUUIFZSFBTLJOHu

One option is to allocate $20,000 in the UCPR budget for a 10-year period star- ting in 2022, so that each senior housing project could claim an annual $10,000 in guaranteed community support funds. The other option is for the UCPR to cancel its portion of the property taxes for the manor society starting in 2022. “By making this commitment, we would be able to show support from the community in our (RHI) application,” stated Barton.

GREGG CHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca

Many low-income families in Hawkesbury cannot afford their own homes accor- ding to a report to town council. Hawkesbury council members had some serious thinking to do over the Christmas holiday break after receiving a report from the Sustainable Housing Inititiave (SDI) during their December 17 session. The report provided council and municipal staff with an outline of the affordable housing situation for the town. 5IF3VSBM%FWFMPQNFOU/FUXPSL 3%/  sent out an invitation in 2019 to rural Ontario municipalities interested in developing sus- tainable housing projects. Hawkesbury was one of 20 municipalities selected to receive free consultation help on its affordable housing needs. SDI presented a 31-page summary report on its findings to council. The report stated that Hawkesbury lacks sufficient one- and two-bedroom housing that is affordable for families in the low-income sector of the municipal profile. Single-parent families have the most problems in trying to find suitable affordable housing. The report also noted that many low-income families that do have homes, have to spend up to 30 per cent of their income on rent or utilities or other expenses to maintain their home. Council and staff received several recom- mendations to consider for further action on dealing with local affordable housing needs. Those recommendations include: listing current affordable housing programs or projects that the municipal has in place or may be working with in partnership with other agencies; creating a list of potential partners for present or future affordable housing projects; creating a list of potential sites for such projects; researching possible funding aid sources; deciding if council needs a social housing advisory committee to help with future planning.

ONE OF MANY FACES LOST DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC STEPHEN JEFFERY stephen.jeffery@eap.on.ca

Born in L’Orignal as the third of four child- ren, Cliff started work at 14 for Bell Canada in the village. Her son, Alain Menard, said she was an independent adolescent, moving to Ottawa alone at 16 to work for Bell as an operator for two years. The move to the big city inspired a lifelong love of cinema. “She finally had her freedom,” Menard said. She married at 19 and had her first child a year later. A second child followed six years later, before her divorce in 1974. Menard said Cliff “met her true soul mate”, René, in 1978 and married him four years later. “They lived 26 years together before her husband passed away in 2004,” Menard said. Cliff worked at Bell Canada in Hawkes- bury, then at the former Smith Clinic as a receptionist until 1975. She switched to work as a receptionist at the Hawkesbury General Hospital, where she stayed for 21 years until her retirement in 1996. Menard said her time there helped her get to know many people in the Hawkesbury area, and developed strong friendships. Cliff’s grandson, Vincent Menard, said memories of his grandmother gave him “happiness, love and comfort”. Now working in the film industry, he said Cliff had shared his love of the movies.

The family of Annette Cliff is one of many grieving after COVID-19 swept through the region in 2020. Prescott-Russell residents continue to follow the updates, case numbers and transmission rates of the virus through the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) website and regular conferences. But behind each of those numbers is the story of a human life, something that can be overlooked amidst the overwhelming spread of the pandemic over the last year. Cliff died of lung fibrosis on November 2, after being admitted to hospital and diagnosed with the condition in February. While she had started to recover and was discharged in September, her condition deteriorated when she contracted COVID-19 during an outbreak at the Prescott and Rus- sell Residence. Cliff’s family shared their thoughts about her to celebrate her life and highlight just one of the many losses experienced in the area during the pandemic. They remembered her as a film lover and her special bonds with her four grandchildren.

Annette Cliff’s grandchildren remembered her as caring, compassionate and philosophical. — photo supplied

“My grandmother and I could talk for hours about our favorite movies, filmmakers, actors,” he said. “We’d go on about Judi Dench, her favorite actor, stories and themes explored in movies. “Her passion in cinema and pride in me as a pursuer of filmmaking continue to inspire me to this day.” Grandson Patrick Massie recalled Cliff’s love and support for her family. “When I wasn’t well, I knew she was there to listen to me and advise me,” he said “Now without her, I feel lost. Part of me died on November 2. I will remember her as a strong, gentle and loving woman. Always there for her family.” Her eldest grandchild, Véronique Landry, also remembered the love and kindness Cliff gave, as well as her philosophical approach to life. “She’d often tell me a quote she loved: ‘slow down ,happiness is trying to catch-up with you’,” Landry said. “I loved going to her house and having one-on-one

chats with her over a glass of wine, cheese and sweets She had a great sense of humour and there was never ever a dull time with her. She had her heart on her sleeve. She worried about everyone, she wanted to make sure that everyone around her was comfortable and happy.” Cliff’s funeral in November was an inti- mate affair, with only 15 people permitted, but the family planned a larger celebration of her life once the pandemic had passed. Landry learned she was pregnant a few days before Cliff’s death, but her grandmother was unable to answer the phone. “I tried calling her to tell her the big news and hopefully have some advice from the wisest person I know, but she was too weak to answer her phone,” she said. “I try to find comfort in telling myself that my grandmother passed on her light to my family at one of our darkest moments, and this light is in my womb.”

Tips for a healthy brain

Did you know that the best way to reduce your risk of developing a cognitive disease is to lead a heal- thy lifestyle? Since January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, now is an ideal time to adopt or reinforce behaviours that keep your brain healthy. Here are some recommendations provided by the Alzheimer Society of Canada: • Challenge yourself. Learn a new language or take on a task like wri- ting with your non-dominant hand. • Play games. There are brain- boosting benefits to solving cros- swords, playing chess and com- pleting puzzles. • Talk to people. Engage in conversations about current events, books, music, sports and more. • Eat a balanced diet. Make sure to follow the recommendations in Canada’s Food Guide. • Exercise regularly. Keep in mind that it’s easier to stay motivated if you choose activities you enjoy.

• Reduce your stress. Explore a va- riety of strategies such as speaking with a psychologist, meditating, journaling and practising yoga. • Prioritize sleep. Get seven to nine hours of rest every night and avoid looking at screens before you go to bed. • Protect your head. Wear a hel- met when cycling or skiing, and consider adapting your home to reduce the risk of falls. • Quit unhealthy habits. Regularly consuming alcohol, cigarettes and recreational drugs can negatively impact your brain health. • Manage chronic illnesses. Dia- betes increases your risk of deve- loping Alzheimer’s disease, so make sure to manage your condi- tion closely under the supervision of your doctor. • Volunteer. Giving back to your community can help prevent de- pression, reduce loneliness and increase self-esteem.

Comment garder son cerveau en bonne santé?

Saviez-vous que la meilleure façon de diminuer les risques de développer des maladies cognitives consiste à avoir un mode de vie sain? En janvier, Mois de la sensibilisation à la maladie d’Alzheimer, l’occasion est idéale pour adopter ou renforcer des comportements permettant de garder votre cer- veau en santé. Voici quelques-unes des recommandations de la Société Alzheimer du Canada : • Lancez-vous des défis (ex. : utilisez votre main non dominante pour écrire, apprenez une nouvelle langue); • Jouez à des jeux en tous genres (ex. : mots croisés, échecs, casse-tête); • Discutez de divers sujets (ex. : actualités, littérature, musique, sport) avec des amis; • Mangez de façon équilibrée (suivez les recommandations du Guide alimentaire canadien); • Faites de l’exercice régulièrement (choisissez des activités qui vous plaisent pour garder votre motivation); • Trouvez des stratégies pour mieux gérer votre stress (ex. : consultez un psychologue, faites de la méditation); • Accordez de l’importance à la qualité de votre sommeil (ex. : dormez suffisamment, évitez les écrans avant de vous coucher); • Protégez votre tête (ex. : portez un casque lorsque vous faites du ski ou du vélo, adaptez votre domicile pour prévenir les chutes); • Réduisez ou cessez votre consommation de substances nocives (ex. : alcool, cigarette, drogues récréatives);

• Gérez étroitement votre diabète sous la supervision de votre médecin, le cas échéant (le diabète accroît le risque de développer la maladie d’Alzheimer); • Faites du bénévolat, car les effets positifs de s’impliquer dans sa commu- nauté sont nombreux (ex. : prévient la dépression, évite l’isolement, augmente l’estime de soi).

$ 0 - - & $ 5 * 7 * 5  r  $ 0 . . 6 / * 5 : CHASE AWAY THE WINTER BLUES ON THE LAROSE FOREST TRAILS

GREGG CHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca

Everyone seems to be out on the trails in the Larose Forest this winter. “It’s been crazy,” said Louis Prévost, QMBOOJOHBOEGPSFTUSZEJSFDUPSGPSUIF6OJUFE $PVOUJFTPG1SFTDPUU3VTTFMM 6$13 EVSJOH a phone interview January 11. “The parking lots are full all the time.” For many Canadians January is when 4FBTPOBM "GGFDUJWF%JTPSEFS 4"%  BMTP known as the “winter blues”, affects many people because of the short days and long nights. As the pandemic continues, worry about COVID-19 adds to the psychological effect of SAD, which may explain why more people are getting outdoors and heading out into the woods for winter recreation fun. “Over the years we have always seen an increase in trail users,” said Prévost, regarding the number of people on the Larose Forest trails. “This year the amount of activity is just incredible.” 5IF6$13IBTNBOBHFEUIFDPNNVOJUZ forest for several decades as both a public recreation area and a working forest for small-scale logging. Within the woodland area that straddles the boundary between $MBSFODF3PDLMBOEBOE5IF/BUJPO UIFSF are between 60 to 70 kilometres of trails set aside for winter activities like cross- country skiing, snowshoeing, winter hiking when conditions are suitable, and “fat bike” riding. There are separate trails reserved for snowmobiling and winter ATV riding, and also a limited number of dedicated trails GPS UIFFYDMVTJWFVTFPG UIF.VTI-BSPTF dogsledding club. The mild winter conditions for December have seen a few centimeters of snow fall, OPUFOPVHI UPNBLF JUQPTTJCMF GPS6$13 staff to take the groomer out on the cross- country ski trails. But, Prévost noted, even the ungroomed trails with their thin cover of snow proved satisfactory for dozens of dedicated cross-country skiers. i5IF#PVSHFU USBJMIFBE QBSLJOHMPUTBMPOF are jampacked every weekend,” he said, adding that trail-grooming will begin after another 15 to 20 centimetres of snow falls during the coming weeks. “We’ll have a good base for it then,” he said. While the majority of trail users in the Larose Forest this winter are local, Prévost notes that a large number of people drive in from Ottawa to Limoges to take advantage of the ski and snowshoe trails in that part of the community forest. Visitor log entries at some of the Larose Forest trailheads indicate that some trail users come from as far south as Cornwall. One winter activity growing in popularity in the Larose Forest is “fat bike” trail riding. One specific trail get a mechanical grooming to make it suitable for trail riders using the wide-tired bike, but Prévost noted that any of the mountain bike trails can serve as well. The problem, he observed, for some would- be first-time riders now may be finding a “fat bike” to ride thanks to increased demands for outdoor winter recreation equipment. “If you’re looking to buy one,” he said, “you may be hardpressed.” Prévost has one piece of advice. Check the information kiosks at the trailheads on which trails are posted for what type of use. “The majority of people do respect the signage,” said Prévost.

Il y a suffisamment de neige sur les pistes de la Forêt Larose pour que ce soit le bon moment pour sortir et faire du ski, de la raquette ou des balades loin du «blues de l’hiver» et des soucis liés à la pandémie. Les Comtés unis de Prescott et Russell (CUPR) gèrent la forêt communautaire pour les loisirs publics et l’exploitation forestière à petite échelle. Le personnel des CUPR signale que les staitonnements au début des pistes sont pleins chaque weekend et que les visiteurs utilisent les pistes pour faire du ski de fond, de la raquette ou du vélo d’hiver. —photo fournie

Soit les rayures sont causées par les saisons en perdant leurs feuilles... (quote). Est-ce le cas pour tout autre arbre (quote) mais vrai (done!!!). La glace (quote). Un homme découvrit par hasard un mont que formait un mur, causé soit par un tremblement. Il y voyait des rayures horizontales. Peut-il déterminer l’âge de la terre... (quote). Je vois des documentaires télévisés ou ils disent que la planète (différents endroits)... l’âge de, pas de mille mais de million d’années (faux). Ils ont reçu des photos des planètes et lunes de notre galaxie. Ils ont commencé à déduire leur âge, encore là, (faux)... Croyez-moi, notre Univers n’approche même pas 100,000 années... On n’a pas la même horloge!!! Ce n’est pas les scienti fi ques qui veulent conclure cela; c’est plutôt politique pour des rai- sons qu’ils veulent vous cacher!!! Pourtant, nous (monde), avions conclus que la planète n’avait pas 10,000 années. Qui donc aujourd’hui veut me contredire. État grave. Vous ne me croyez plus;iciDaniel C. Ménard, 613-677-2131.
