Far away on the McDonald’s property, stands an old abandoned building that used to entertain hundreds of visitors every year. “Our old haunted house is going to be demolished,” expressed Sandy McDonald, whose idea at 14 years of age spawned McMaze. “I’ll go show you what it looks like.”.

the man expertly makes his way through several obstacles and ditches, before reach- ing a big, empty field. Standing tall as it has for the past hundred years or so, is the haunted house. Made of old timber and with tin shingles, a commodity for that time, the Campbell farmhouse has stood partly empty since the mid 1960s. It’s surrounded by trees and generates an aura of mystery. To its side is an entrance to the house’s basement. “My father knows a lot about it, but I don’t,” said Sandy. “It’s before my time.” But before he can enter the house, he comes across twomen, hard at work taking apart a different house.They’re Steven Jupe and Shawn Kisielius and they both represent Canadian Barn Hunters . Together, they dis- assemble older buildings and use the same material to rebuild houses. The duo is working on a house that even
It’s obvious, by the many attractions at McMaze, that the McDonald family worked hard over the past 16 years. The many corn mazes and well decorated trails abound on the family farm, located just outside of St. Andrews. Although most of the attractions are geared to families, one venue, abandoned for now a couple of years, was anything but welcoming. Far away on the McDonald’s property, stands an old abandoned building that used to entertain hundreds of visitors every year. “Our old haunted house is go- ing to be demolished,” expressed Sandy McDonald, whose idea at 14 years old spawned McMaze. “I’ll go show you what it looks like.” Aboard a small four wheeler likemachine,

predates the haunted house. “This here was built in the 1820s” said Jupe, while standing near a colossal piece of carved timber. “Can you imagine that there’s not one piece of metal in this house?” The structure was abandoned after the family built what would become the haunted house. “It was constructed the old fashioned way,” explained Kisielius. “They would cut
them all and shape them all in a way that they could all fit together.” The roof, having long ago collapsed, de- stroyed the floor as well, which led to some interesting discoveries. “I’m thinking that they got here in the fall,” said Jupe. “Because it seems they built it fast. It wasn’t even. As you can see there, they added rocks under their foundation to try to even it out.” After they conclude disassembling it,

which they believe will take them until November, the two men will then tackle the other house. “I can’t wait,” said Kisielius. “It’s one creepy place, that’s for sure.” But just how creepy is it? One last tour into McMaze’s haunted house Sandy opens the front door of the old Campbell farmhouse and instantly reaches for his cell phone, which acts as a flashlight. It’s a good idea, for the house is pitch black, every window having been boarded shut. “We used to have a lot of visitors here,” he said. “We’d hide and scare them. But after a while, it became a lot of work, so we decided to concentrate on other things.” The first thing that greeted visitors was an old piano with several different Halloween decorations. In order to make the whole experiencemore horrifying, theMcDonalds created several different hallways, all of them small and claustrophobic. The said hallways create a sort of labyrinth within the two storey house. Although the building does possess a second storey, it’s unused, as a good portion of it caved in years ago. All throughout the hallways are decora- tions and holes in themany walls. Darkness seeps into each inch of the building, only footsteps on the old timber can be heard.The tour ends with a visit in the dirt basement. “This is where it used to start,” explained Sandy. From the basement, the house’s sturdy foundation is visible, the trademark of a bygone era. Both buildings have been owned by the McDonald family for close to 15 years now. “My father was always interested in it,” said Stephen McDonald, current patriarch of the family farm. “But the Campbell’s never wanted to sell. Well in the 1960s, it got pretty cold in there and the family decided to spend the winter somewhere else. When they came back, one of them got very sick and they simply never returned.” According to the man, even saucers and cups were left in the house. “It was weird,” he admitted. “They literally got up and left, leav- ing behind nearly everything they owned.” Shortly after, the family sold the house to a local dairy farmer, who left it vacant for some time, before the McDonalds were given the chance to purchase it. Taking a well deserved break As Stephen readies the horses in order to put them in the barn, following yet another day at McMaze, children run around the many venues at the family farm, laughing. Parents thank the McDonald family before retiring to the parking lot, which is actually a green field. “I think it was time for us to take a break,” explained Valerie McDonald, matriarch of the family. “We spend at least 100 hours a week here.” Although this might seem like simply
several overtime hours on a farm, most of theMcDonald familymembers also have full time jobs. Sandy, for example, is a chemistry teacher at Char-Lan high school. “It can get tough sometimes,” he said, a
smile on his lips. So what will happen of the family farm after the gates of McMaze close for one last time? “My husband wants to go for cash crops,”
said Valerie. “We’re also going to sell the animals. It’s going to be pretty hard on all of us, but I think it’s time.” Potential visitors have until October 31 to visit McMaze, after which, it will close.

C’est le vendredi 7 octobre dernier qu’a eu lieu la journée Bleu-Blanc-Rouge à l’École secondaire catholique La Citadelle. En effet, l’événement annuel a pour but de promouvoir l’esprit étudiant. Cette célébration met en valeur l’esprit d’école, la fierté des Patriotes et le sentiment d’appartenance. Le matin, des activités organisées par le gouvernement des élèves se sont déroulées sur la piste à l’arrière de l’école. De plus, un match de football a aussi eu lieu en après-midi. Rappelons que les étudiants de 9 e année devaient s’habiller en bleu, ceux de 10 e en blanc, ceux de 11 e en rouge et ceux de 12 e en bleu-blanc-rouge. Emilie Pinard, Lauryn Jodoin, Danika Marcil et Émilie Ménard, des élèves de 11 e année, ont eu du plaisir lors de la célébration annuelle, le 7 octobre dernier. — photo fournie Vive le bleu, le blanc et le rouge!

where she earned a degree in literature. She had stints in New York, the USSR and eventually Berlin. It was in Germany that she first became involved in communism. Eventually, Léa returned to Montreal and became employed by Fred Rose, a politi- cian running for the Canadian Communist Party.
Montreal garment shops in the 1930s were rife with deplorable working conditions. Needle workers—pre- dominantly women—were subjected to environments that were unheated, unventilated, poorly lit, overcrowded and run by tyrannical and abusive overlords. Léa Roback, the Montreal social activist, was eager to step in when the International Ladies Gar- ment Workers Union needed help

Likemany people, in the 1960s Léa was concerned about the use of nuclear weapons. She thereby became an in- tegral part of La Voix des Femmes, an organization con- cerned about the threat of nuclear war and campaigning for disarmament. She also lent her voice to protests against the VietnamWar and apartheid in South Africa. Until the end—she passed in 2000—Léa Roback was a voice for human rights. Her memory is perpetuated by the Léa Roback Foundation, which provides scholar- ships to socially committed women.
reaching the community of garment workers. Her abil- ity to communicate in three languages, French, English and Yiddish, was an indispensable asset in persuading and mobilizing the workers to take action. She helped unify the 5,000 tradespeople and lead them in a three- week long strike. A contract was ultimately won for the workers. Part of a large Jewish family, Léa herself came from a working class background. Her father was a tailor and the owner of a general store, which her mother helped him run. She was born in 1903 in Montreal to where she returned with her family in her early teens. She worked first as a dyer and then a cashier at a theatre, and eventu- ally earned enough tomake her way to Grenoble, France,

Canada’s Haitian community
Each year in February, Montreal gets a burst of carnival fever when it hosts Kanpe Karnaval, an annual celebration of Haitian culture that includes live music, dance and spicy creole cuisine. But the event is just one influ- ence of the substantial Haitian community that’s part of the patchwork of Canadian culture. Haitian-Canadians have infused our music, art, literary, sports and business sectors with vital colour and creativity.
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND
Tree: Red Oak
The red oak (Quercus rubra) was designated as Prince Edward Island’s provincial tree in 1987. It once populated much of the island and was a source of material for settlers to build furniture, barrels and ships. Today the population of the red oak has greatly dwindled, but can still be found scattered throughout the province.
The most recent influx of Haitians into Canada occurred shortly after the devastating earthquake—7.0 on the Richter scale—that rattled their coun-
try in January 2010. After the catastrophic event, we opened our doors to thousands whose homes were destroyed in the episode. But Canada’s history of welcoming Haitians dates back to the 1960s. Haiti has long been subjected to economic and political hardships and it’s themost impoverished country in the western hemisphere. Over the de- cades, Canada has consequently offered both aide and refuge to the people of Haiti and today the Haitian-Canadian population consists of approximately 138,000 individuals. Ninety per cent of Haitian-Canadians reside in Quebec, and most of those in Montreal. Despite the climate, the province is well suited to the French-Catholic immigrants due to parallels of language and religion. Smaller groups of Haitians reside in Ontario and even fewer in BC and Alberta.

Le Fentanyl illicite présent dans les cinq comtés
New partnership for St. Lawrence River Institute The St. Lawrence River Institute of Environmental Sciences has partnered with Canadian water purification company, ECONSE, on a new pro- gram to measure and analyze the wastewater that craft breweries in Ontario produce. The Craft Beer Waterprints project will launch at the Ontario Craft Brewers Conference on October 13 in Toronto. Like a footprint or fingerprint that represents the unique impact a business has on its local water system, Beer Waterprints will measure and analyze the wastewater that craft breweries produce, to improve their water quality and make it easier to meet local wastewater tar- gets.“We’ve been focused on practical research initiatives that can be used by industry quickly and easily,” said Louis Savard, program leader of Applied Research and Technical Services with the River Institute. “Our goal from the year-long project is to give craft brewers results, within a month, that they can apply right away in a step-wise approach to wastewater manage- ment.” Craft brewers will be able to register for the program at the Ontario Craft Brewers’ Conference.“We are excited to partner with the River Institute to help small to mid-sized brewer- ies understand their waterprint, so that they can make informed decisions about their operations and have a positive impact on their community,” added Derek Davy, founder of Econse. The program received financial support from the National Research Council of Canada’s Industrial Research Assistance Program. – Francis Racine Le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario (BSEO) et le Service communautaire de la police de Cornwall (SCPC) préviennent le public que les autorités ont saisi du Fentanyl illicite, aussi appelé Fentanyl de contrebande, dans les cinq comtés de l’Est. Tandis que le Fentanyl d’ordonnance est un antidouleur produit par l’industrie pharmaceutique et vendu sous forme de timbre transdermique ou liquide, le Fentanyl illicite n’est pas produit par l’industrie phar- maceutique et ne respecte pas les directives de qualité. Le Fentanyl illicite est vendu dans la rue sous forme de poudre ou en comprimés de n’importe quelle couleur, forme ou taille. Les comprimés sont parfois gravés de marques et peuvent être déguisés pour ressembler à d’autres produits fabriqués par l’industrie pharmaceutique (Oxycontin, Percocet, etc.). Il peut être ajouté à d’autres drogues illégales comme la cocaïne, l’héroïne et la méthamphétamine en cristaux.
« Le Fentanyl illicite peut se trouver dans n’importe quelle drogue achetée dans la rue et à une concentration inconnue d’un comprimé à l’autre parce qu’il n’y a pas de contrôle de la qualité, a expliqué Daniel Parkinson, chef de police du SCPC. Même une petite quantité peut s’avérer mortelle; ce qui explique les centaines de décès qu’il a causé partout au pays. » « Le Fentanyl, que ce soit la version légi- time produite par l’industrie pharmaceu- tique ou la version illicite, est un opioïde; ce qui signifie que lemédicament ralentit la partie du cerveau qui contrôle la respiration, a déclaré le Dr Paul Roumeliotis, médecin hygiéniste du BSEO. Le Fentanyl illicite est mortel car le dosage n’est pas contrôlé et il peut donc causer l’arrêt complet de la respiration chez les utilisateurs. » Le bureau de santé et la police de Cornwall rappellent au public de ne pas acheter de drogue dans la rue car il n’y a aucun moyen de savoir ce qu’elle contient. Toutes les drogues opioïdes peuvent être dangereuses et doivent être prises telles que prescrites par un professionnel de la santé. « Nous voulons que le public soit au courant que le Fentanyl illicite est présent dans notre communauté et qu’il peut être mélangé à n’importe quelle autre drogue, de dire le Dr Roumeliotis, ajoutant que le meilleur moyen d’assurer votre sécurité ainsi que celle de votre famille est simplement de ne pas acheter de drogue dans la rue. » Walmart to hire 200 new workers Walmart Canada Logistics, Cornwall’s largest private sector employer, is hiring. The com- pany has announced it will be hiring over 200 people in Cornwall for its distribution centre campus. The company will be holding a job fair from October 19 to 22 at the Cornwall Civic Complex, to meet prospective candidates for positions at its Cornwall Distribution Hub. “Walmart Canada is proud to be Cornwall’s largest private sector employer,” said Drew Robertson, senior director of Logistics for Walmart Canada. The new 550,000 square foot Perishable Distribution Centre (PDC) will supply Walmart stores in Eastern Canada, from Kingston to Newfoundland. The PDC, which is expected to open in early 2017, is the latest investment made by Walmart to expand its distribution capacity for Eastern Canada, particularly for grocery items. «It is great to see Walmart Logistics continue to succeed in Cornwall,» says Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy. «This expansion is indicative of growing confidence in Cornwall as a strategic business location.» – Francis Racine

The sounds of the hustle and bustle of downtown Cornwall got a lot more melodic this week, with the introduction of a community piano. André Pommier, of Pommier Jewellers. located at the corner of Pitt and Second streets, this week unveiled the instrument that is already gaining popularity with music aficionados and pedestrians. “It got in and people started playing it as soon as we set it up,” said a beaming Pommier, whose Pommier Court at the busy city intersection now boasts the piano, as well as an ornate musical clock to help bring some sophistication to downtown. The piano was a gift from a family that wanted it saved from destruction. “(They) just saw that we are very community-minded and they thought it would be appropriate for our corner,” said Pommier, who wants to keep the piano out for three seasons of the year, but will likely store it for winter. “I don’t want it to freeze,” he said, and added the piano will be a great addition to Santa Claus parade celebrations that typically take place downtown and in Le Village. Pommier said the community piano is free to use as much as people want to enjoy some music outdoors. The instrument will be tarped up at night, but that shouldn’t stop people from enjoying it. “If people come out of the bars and want to play it after their night, they can just put the tarp back on,” said Pommier. — photo Cornwall B.I.A Downtown piano brings melodies to Cornwall

Rabies prevention program The Ministry of Natural Resources is doing a “bait drop” project during the late summer season to help eliminate the risk of rabies in the Eastern Ontario region. MNR has contracted for an air drop of 30,000 pieces of bait containing the rabies vaccine over an area in the southern part of the region, including Wolfe Island, the Thousand Islands Bridge district, and around near Cornwall.The baits will help immunize most skunks, foxes, and raccoons within the designated area, who may have wandered up from the upper New York state region into Ontario, where there are confirmed reports of rabid raccoons. The bait drop will help to eliminate both the risk of a full rabies condition developing in any of these animals, and also prevent them from carrying the virus. – Gregg Chamberlain

YOUR HOROSCOPE for the week of October 16 to 22, 2016
THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: LEO, VIRGO AND LIBRA.
ARIES Travel and communications will be a bit complicated. Despite leaving multiple messages you’ll have to wait a long time before receiving an answer, even if it’s urgent. TAURUS You’ll probably have to do some overtime at work. Even if your schedule does not please your loved ones, you’ll appreciate the generous supplement on your next payday. GEMINI You may feel a bit disappointed if you are starting a new job or a major project. Be patient: after some serious discussion, you’ll realize that this situation is profit- able for you. CANCER You’ll need to rest after working really hard at the office. Think more about yourself. A break or even a short trip is sure to recharge your batteries. LEO You’ll experience a sudden burst in popularity. Let yourself be guided by your intuition and you’ll show amazing creativity. You’ll have success with an artistic creation. VIRGO Time is a scarce commodity for a lot of people. Even if you have good time management skills, it’s possible that you’ll have to wait a while for certain individuals. LIBRA As the cooler weather sets in, you start dreaming about a vacation down south. You pull out all the stops at work in order to treat yourself to a trip. The deals you find will be really tempting. SCORPIO You may succeed in making a living from your art. Some major changes allow you to take a new path in life. Where your love life is concerned, you’ll embark on a project that will cement your relationship. SAGITTARIUS It’s important to have a more active social life if you want to stay close to your friends. The idea of moving crosses your mind, if only to have a change. CAPRICORN You’ll feel proud of yourself even if a project takes up more of your time than expected. You feel a sense of accomplishment by finishing something you always procrastinated on. AQUARIUS You’ll increase your self-esteem by treat- ing yourself to some new clothes. Your revitalized wardrobe could also come in useful in the new role you’ll have at work. PISCES You’re tempted to give your home a thorough cleaning. You’ll succeed in de- cluttering your environment by getting rid of some useless belongings. This’ll brighten up your home as well as your soul.
