L’autisme, cet inconnu…

FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca

C’est un cauchemar devenu réalité pour la mère d’un adolescent autiste de la région. Le 10 novembre dernier, les policiers étaient appelés à un école secondaire de Cornwall au sujet d’un élève agité. Selon les policiers, l’enfant aurait tenté d’agres- ser deux employés de l’école. Il aurait même menacé de faire exploser l’école. L’élève, un enfant souffrant d’autisme, est violemment arrêté. « Notre société doit changer par rapport à la vision et compréhension des enfants qui ont des handicaps », a déclaré la mère de l’enfant, Sophie Beaulieu (nomfictif), sur sa page Facebook, déplorant dumême coup les circonstances qui ont mené à l’arrestation. On se rappellera que Mme Beaulieu, qu’on avait appelé pour qu’elle vienne cherche son fils, est arrivé sur les lieux pour constater que deux policiers le maintiennent au sol, menottes au dos. Son fils pleure et crie. Les policiers refusent son aide. « Je me dirige vers eux et je dis aux policiers que je peux le calmer, mais ils me demandent de reculer, a-t-elle expliqué. J’ai tenté encore de leur faire comprendre qu’il ne comprenait pas et qu’il était autiste. Je me sentais tellement impuissante devant la détresse de mon garçon qui ne comprenait rien à la situation. » L’adolescent a été accusé de huit chefs d’accusation criminelles; quatre chefs d’ac- cusation de voies de fait : sur le personnel de l’école et les policiers; d’avoir menacé; d’avoir résisté à une arrestation; d’agression armée et de port d’arme dans un dessein dangereux. Évidemment, il s’agit-là d’un incident assez exceptionnel. Les symptômes de l’autisme varient d’un individu à l’autre. Ils se traduisent par une multitude de comportements, qui peuvent comprendre l’anxiété et l’agressivité, mais qui peuvent aussi comprendre des comportements beaucoup moins remarquables. L’autisme est une maladie neurologique qui affecte le fonctionnement du cerveau, le système immunitaire et biologique, altère les capacités des connaissances, des expressions, des codes sociaux et génère les troubles du comportement. La maladie se caractérise par des difficultés importantes dans deux domaines, soit la communication et les interactions sociales et les compor- tements, activités et intérêts restreints ou répétitifs. Aucune statistique exacte n’existe quant au nombre d’enfants affligés par

Le CSDCEO n’était pas enmesure de confirmer le nombre total d’élèves autistes qui fréquentent ses écoles.

considération les préférences parentales. Dans certains cas et pour certains élèves dont la nature des besoins exige un place- ment autre que la classe ordinaire, diffé- rentes options sont envisagées et le recours à des milieux éducatifs distincts et spécialisés est offert à l’élève et aux parents. Le place- ment dans des milieux éducatifs distincts et spécialisés est, dans plusieurs cas, d’une durée limitée, car on vise la réintégration de l’élève dans son école d’origine. En tout, 167 élèves autistes fréquentaient le CEPEO lors de l’année scolaire 2015-2016. Mais malgré tous les efforts pour inté- grer les enfants autistes, la maladie peut demeurer un défi pour les proches, comme Sophie Beaulieu. « Maintenant, il n’est plus scolarisé, a déclaré lamèremonoparentale de deux enfants, qui travaille. Je dois donc amener mon garçon avec moi, au risque de perdre mon emploi. Je suis à bout de souffle, je n’ai aucun service pour mon gar- çon, aucune aide, déplore-t-elle.»

Collisions on the rise The eighth annual Allstate Canada Safe Driving Study, released on November 30, has revealed that collisions are on the rise in a number of provinces across the country – and in Ontario, there was a 3.6 per cent increase in collision claims.The study, which looks at Allstate Canada data to track collision frequency among Allstate Canada customers in Alberta, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Ontario, ranked 86 communi- ties across the country. In this year’s study, Cornwall ranked 29 out of 86 communities, with a collision frequency rate of 5.13 per cent. The frequency of collisions has risen nationally from 5.60 per cent in the previous study to 5.70 per cent in this year’s study – representing a 1.7 per cent increase in collisions. Additionally, the study found that although Fridays are the day with the highest number of collision claims nationally, accidents involving pedestrians and cyclists are more likely to occur on Wednesdays. – Francis Racine

Forget the Christmas tree and the decora- tions this holiday season. Something else as equally magical takes place in several of Cornwall’s houses. There, in basements or in living rooms, are erected Christmas villages. Intricately placed and organized, these small lifelike models of houses, people, animals and stores garnish the attention of whoever crosses their paths. For one Cornwall family, the ritual of putting their annual Christmas has become a true festive tradition. “It’s even become some sort of an addiction,” joked patriarch Ghislain Mayer. “I always try to add on to my collection.” Along with his daughter and his two sons, the man has erected a Christmas village, annually, for now close to 17 years. “I used to do it with themwhen they were very young,” he said, pointing to his daughter sitting next to her.

village isn’t new, far from it. “I think the best andmost important part of the collection is a tree, about one and a half foot in height. It was given to me when my grandmother passed,” he said. “She made it herself, from scratch.” The tree acts as the village’s centerpiece. “We build everything around it,” added Emily. Establishing a yearly ritual It is apparent Meghann Vogel keeps the cheer of Christmas close to her heart. In her living room is located a beautifully organized Christmas village. “I started doing a village around five years ago,” she said. “It all started when I saw the

So what is the next piece Vogel hopes to add to her collection? None other than a miniature train. A tradition that is older than people might think The earliest Christmas villages were

Nativity displays in homes and churches. Christians have beenmaking and displaying statues that represent the birth of Jesus since the thirteenth century, if not earlier. Inmany cultures, it was common to add, not only shepherds, sheep, donkeys, camels, and oxen, but also townspeople in contem- porary dress. Although initially placed beneath the Christmas tree, by the early 19 th century, a family’s Christmas village might have also been found on the fireplace mantel, side tables, and other prominent places within the home.

Emily Mayer is in her early twenties and has also been bitten with the Christmas village bug. “I love doing it,” she expressed gleefully. “It’s really become something we do every year. It brings us closer.” In order to put up the many buildings and accessories, it takes the familymembers a whole two straight days. “It gives us the opportunity to spend quality time together,” highlighted Ghislain. The family’s collection spreads the whole length of their basement. “One year, the village took over so much room that we had to have the Christmas tree half in the living room, half in the kitchen,” recalled Emily, smiling. In order to be

Year in Review to take place on December 15 In what has become a Cornwall tradition,Team Cornwall will host the popular Year-in-Review meeting on December 15.The annual meeting attracts well over 300 community leaders who are eager to hear a recap of the year’s economic activity, compiled by the City’s Economic Development Department. The meeting will be held at Galaxy Cinemas on Second Street. Doors will open at 7 am and the meeting will begin at 7:30 am sharp. The Year-in-Review report summarizes major development activity that has occurred in Cornwall over the past 12 months. “2016 has been a busy year of notable developments in both the private and public sector,” said Bob Peters, Senior Development Officer with Cornwall Economic Development.“Our goal is to showcase the overall positive impact that results from individual decisions to invest.” The meeting is a particularly important one according to Team Cornwall chair Peter Gault.“Cornwall Economic Development does an excellent job in preparing the Year-in-Review presentation,” said Gault. “It is exciting to recap the success of the past year so that we can all take that information and share it with people beyond the boundaries of Cornwall.” “Success breeds success, and we can all play a role in helping attract the next investor by speaking positively about our community.”– Francis Racine

Transformer l’argile en oeuvres magnifiques

Line Labrecque, une sculptrice de la région, en compagnie de l’une de ses œuvres favorites : la déesse du pardon. — photo Francis Racine

FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca

Lorsque j’étais adolescente, j’avais une petite boite de biscuits de Noël, en métal. Dans cette boite se trouvait de l’argile de polymère. Eh bien, cette boitem’a suivie pendant plu- sieurs années. Je ne l’ai jamais jetée. Puis un jour, jeme suis dit : je vais tenter de l’utiliser et si ça ne marche pas, je vais jeter le tout. Et bien, ça a marché! » Toutes les œuvres de la sculptrice sont créées dans sa demeure. En effet, Mme Labrecque utilise son propre four afin de cuire ses créations. « L’argile de polymère, ce n’est pas comme l’argile de terre, a-t-elle expliqué. La température requise afin de cuire le tout est bienmoins élevée que celle

utilisée pour cuire les œuvres faites d’argile de terre. » Un coup d’œil à l’exposition de la sculp- trice a révélé que celle-ci est non seulement douée, mais aussi très créative, du fait que bon nombre de sculptures ont plusieurs utilités. Un crâne humain, une vraie merveille créée à partir d’un simple bloc d’argile, contient une petite lumière. « J’aime faire des choses comme ça, a-t-elle dit en tenant le crâne dans sa main. » Il n’est donc pas surprenant que les pièces deMme Labrecque soient disposées un peu partout à travers samaison. « Je les expose à

travers mamaison, a-t-elle précisé. Je trouve que ça fait beau et puis pourquoi voudrais-je les laisser dans des boites? » D’où vient donc l’inspiration afin de créer toutes ses œuvres différentes? « Je ne fais qu’observer les gens, lemonde et la nature, a confié la dame. C’est facile de trouver de l’inspiration dans tout ce que l’on voit. » Le vernissage officiel deMme Labrecque aura lieu le jeudi 8 décembre au Centre culturel de Cornwall, de 17 h à 19 h. Pour de plus amples informations concernant les œuvres de Mme Labrecque, les intéressés peuvent visiter playsculptlive.blogspot.com ainsi que playsculptlive.etsy.com.

Parsemés sur plusieurs tables, dans le Corrid’Art, se retrouvent plus de 70 objets d’art, tous complètement ou partiellement faits d’argile polymère. La vaste collection appartient et a été conçue par nulle autre que Line Labrecque, une sculptrice ayant grandi à Cornwall et qui travaille avec le médium d’argile polymère depuis maintenant 11 ans. « Ça a commencé d’une drôle de façon, a fait valoir la dame lors d’une entrevue avec Le Journal au Centre culturel de Cornwall.

WEEKS TO GO

Canadian treasures CANADA: NATURAL SOURCE OF PRIDE SINCE 1867 Leonard Braithwaite (1923–2012) WWII VETERAN, POLITICIAN AND RIGHTS ACTIVIST

Quiz TEST YOUR CANADIAN KNOWLEDGE

QUESTION 1: Name the Canadian creator of the Scott Pilgrim series, on which the 2010 film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World starring Michael Cera, Anna Kendrick and Jason Schwartzman is based. QUESTION 2: Which province celebrates the statutory holiday Louis Riel Day on the third Monday of February? QUESTION 3: What is the name of the next Canadian astronaut set to travel to the International Space Station for a six-month mission in November 2018? QUESTION 4: In which city are the Canadian Forces Snowbirds—Canada’s aerial acrobatics team—based?

After the war, Braithwaite returned to Ontario’s capital where he obtained a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Toronto. He continued his studies at the Harvard School of Busi- ness and there acquired his MBA. The final tier of his education involved a return to Toronto where he achieved a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School of York University. In 1958, he opened a law practice just outside Toronto, in the suburb of Etobicoke. In 1960, Braithwaite commenced his political career as school trustee for Ward 4 in Etobicoke. A couple of years later he was elected as alderman for Ward 4. He became increasingly popular in the riding and ultimately was approached by the Liberals to run as an MPP. He won in the 1963, 1967 and 1971 elections, but ultimately lost his seat in 1975. During his more than 10 years in parliament, he raised his voice for racial and women’s rights. One of the causes he championed was affording women the right to work as legislative pages in parliament—a position formerly re- served exclusively for men. After his years in the Ontario Legislature, Braithwaite returned to municipal politics. He also returned to his law practice, where he worked until his death in 2012 at the age of 88. Shortly after his passing, the City of Toronto renamed an Etobicoke park in honour of the riding’s pioneering representative. His determination and strong sense of justice sparked profound change in Ontario’s legal framework, most notably by, in his words, “getting rid of the old race law.”

A life dedicated to serving the Canadian people

Leonard Braithwaite was the first black Canadian elected to a provin- cial legislature. He ran against NDP and Conservative party candidates to win a Member of Provincial (MPP) seat for the Liberal party. His maiden speech in 1964 to the Ontario Legisla- ture addressed the Separate Schools

Act, which permitted racial segregation in the Ontario school system. Several weeks later, the province’s premier amended the Act. This human rights victory was the first of many championed by Braithwaite during his political career. Leonard Braithwaite was born in Toronto in 1923 to a Bajan (Bar- badian) father and Jamaican mother. He grew up in the Kens- ington Market district during the Depression, and in 1943—after several unsuccessful enlistment attempts stemming from racial prejudice—left to serve overseas with the Royal Canadian Air Force in the Second World War. He functioned as both an engine mechanic and a safety equipment worker with the No. 6 Bomber Group in Yorkshire, England.

Canada’s Belgian community

According to the Canada 2011 Census, 176,615 Canadians claim Belgian ancestry. This population has made significant positive impacts on Canadian culture, affecting numer- ous sectors and industries. Some Belgian-Canadians of note include: painter Henri Leopold Masson; Olympic diver Emilie-Joane Heymans; philanthropist and businessman Michael DeGroote and musician Chad VanGaalen.

NORTHWEST TERRITORIES

Bird: Gyrfalcon

In the mid 19th century, Belgians were given preferred immigrant status in Canada. The Canadian governing body was actively pursuing agriculturally inclined individuals to help settle the western prov- inces and inmany cases, suitable candidates—such as Belgians—were given safe passage and free farmland. Several Belgian communities therefore sprung up in Manitoba, with St. Boniface and St. Alphonse being among the earliest. Substantial waves of immigration also occurred close to the beginning of the 20th century—thanks to a direct steamship link fromAntwerp and a need for dairy farmers—and after the First World War in response to a need from Ontario tobacco companies. A final large influx of Belgians started to arrive after the Second World War and kept coming until 1990. This final group gravitated to urban centres and were more educated than preceding migrants. About two-thirds among this group landed in Quebec.

In 1990, the gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus) became the avian emblem of the Northwest Territories. This largest member of the falcon family winters in the north and primarily inhabits tundra and mountainous areas. Its diet consists mainly of ptarmigan but also includes squirrel, arctic hare and seabirds. The gyrfalcon is quick, strong and has few natural enemies.

$1000 donation for Gift of Hope

Polish Alliance donates to Cornwall Hospital The Gift of Hope organization recently received a $1000 donation from the CUPE Local 3251. The Gift of Hope is a registered charity, created by the DesRosiers family in 2004, in memory of their father Val DesRosiers.

A woman dedicated to helping children through the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) Champions for Kids Foundation (C4K) is stepping down as president. Carole Dufort vacated the position on December 1. Current 2 nd vice-chair David Morrison will assume the role. Dufort has assisted the charity for nearly a decade with everything from helping organize signature events, such as its annual golf tournament, to serving as co-fundraising chair. The former teacher, vice-principal and principal with the UCDSB, said she was extremely proud to be part of a board that goes the “extra mile” to support all students through the work of C4K. “There is something deeply touching about students, staff, parents, and community members coming together to help children in a difficult time,” said Dufort. — supplied photo Historic mural sustains damage

A popular mural depicting an historic Cornwall, downtown, is now in ruins. The painting, which has been located on the wall of a Second Street business for now several years, appears to have melted off, leaving only the bottom portion of it intact. According to the City, water is the culprit, as it got behind the paint and lead to the brick degrading. Although no clear plan is yet established regarding the possibility of repainting the wall, officials pointed towards the future optimistically, claiming that there will be downtown additions next year. — photo Francis Racine

YOUR HOROSCOPE for the week of December 4 to 10, 2016

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: TAURUS, GEMINI AND CANCER.

ARIES Take good care of your immune system. If you’re seeing a lot of people, take the necessary precautions to avoid catching their germs. Make sure to get plenty of rest. TAURUS Time is a factor, and you’ll need to decide between different obligations and certain activities. Focus on balancing the differ- ent spheres of your life. GEMINI A trip is on the horizon. Even if it’s only in a few months, you need to start preparing now. Look into getting your vaccinations or renewing your passport, for example. CANCER Expect some minor conflicts this week. You’ll no longer be able to ignore what you’ve been putting off. You’ll be able to relax only when everything gets done. LEO You close a contract that changes your life. Your perseverance enables you to reach new heights, even on a personal level. Your audacity and your warrior spirit are in full swing. VIRGO A great deal of work and a lot of details require most of your time. Try letting go and taking the time to appreciate the now. You’ll adopt a good outlook on life. LIBRA You’re going to be the centre of attention. You’ll be the only person to accomplish a particular task at work, and this will earn you some well-deserved recognition from management. SCORPIO Breaking your routine benefits both you and your relationship. Don’t turn down invita- tions from your friends — they’re going to surprise you, especially if you’re single. SAGITTARIUS The slightest interest in real estate can lead to some very profitable returns. You’ll also be tempted to change your home decor before the holidays in order to impress certain people. CAPRICORN You won’t be afraid to speak your mind — just make sure to have all the right information before you do. You’ll need to translate an important message to avoid any possible confusion. AQUARIUS You might be tempted to purchase something expensive. Be prepared to go over your budget while shopping for Christmas gifts. You’ll also need a little extra energy to get through the week. PISCES You’ll be lost in deep contemplation. Your convictions force you to develop your spirituality. A pilgrimage is a project you might start planning.
