Sclerosis Society of Canada has been liv- ing with the disease for over 31 years now. “There’s no cure for it,” she expressed in the MS Foundation office on Boundary Road, where she’s been volunteering for 31 years. “I live with it every single day.” It was in 1985 that Karen first noticed that something was wrong. “I used to take
aerobatic classes,” she said smiling. “It was popular in the 1980’s. During one of them, I realized that I couldn’t see color out of one of my eye. It was in black and white.” She made an appointment to go see an oculist, which then referred her to an eye expert. “They weren’t quite sure what it was,” she explained.
But soon enough, Karen became aware that she lost feeling in the left side of her body. “I drovemyself to the Ottawa Hospital, where they put me into theMultiple Sclerosis clinic.” MS is a long-lasting disease that can affect the brain, spinal cord, and the optic nerves in the eyes. It can cause problems with vision,

balance, muscle control, and other basic body functions. The effects are often different for everyone who has the disease. Some people havemild symptoms, while others have trouble getting around and doing daily tasks. MS happens when the immune system attacks a fattymaterial calledmyelin, which wraps around nerve fibers to protect them. Without this outer shell, nerves become damaged. The damage means the brain can’t send signals through the body correctly. The nerves therefore sometimes don’t work properly, making it a struggle to perform daily tasks. Since being diagnosed with the disease, Karen has often had to battle several bouts of challenges. “One time, I was in the hospital for 11 weeks and I couldn’t feel anything from under my neck,” she admitted, emo- tions appearing in her face. “My son family
and friends would visit me often. Whenmy son came and kissedme all over my face, my mother had to move my arms in order for me to hug him. It was a tough time.” Yet, the experience managed to create a friendship that would last a lifetime. “The nurse that took care of me is still, to this day, my friend.” The disease, which has, for some years, released its strong hold on the hardworking volunteer, has still left her with some perma- nent damage. “Once, I was sitting down and watching television when the screen started going up and down,” she described. “I really didn’t know what was happening.” It turned out that her eyes had started fluttering, meaning they go up and down constantly. To this day, it still takes place. “I think my body got used to it,” she added, relaxed. “It all happened because MS de- stroyed the nerves I had connected to my eyes.”
But her battle with the disease was not in vain. She has helped countless individu- als afflicted with MS as well as their family members. “I love what I do,” she asserted, still smiling. “It’s very rewarding.” Yet Karen does admit that she does face some challenges. “I want to help everyone as soon as possible,” she said. “We all have different schedules, therefore I can’t always help everyone at the same time.” Also, the raising of funds can also become quite difficult. “The MS Society relies on donations and volunteers,” she explained. “We don’t have any salaried positions. So we have to organize several different sorts of fundraisers, such as the Run to End MS.” She also stresses that the mind frame of volunteers has changed within the past thirty years. “Back then, when people volunteered for an organization, they did a bit of everything,” she recalled. “Now, people choose to help out with one or two events and that’s it. I don’t blame them though, because everyone is stretched thin nowadays.”
with the Municipal Accessibility Advisory Committee for the City of Cornwall. “A lot of people don’t know this, but Cornwall is ahead of a lot of other cities when it comes to accessibility for the disabled,” she asserted.” In addition, she was also a volunteer with the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, both at local schools and at the board level.There, she did everything fromhelping the principal of Holy Trinity to designwhat the school would like, to reading to kindergarten students. “It was a great feeling to help themout,” she expressed. “It started whenmy son was in school. Being a single mother, I could give a lot of my time back to the schools.” Karen has also recently decided to step down as volunteer office manager, in order to take a break. “There are somemornings that I wake up and I know I can’t do anything because of MS,” she explained. “Thankfully, I can call one of my volunteers who will takemy place.” After 31 years, the woman says she wants to take a break. But that certainly doesn’t mean she’ll stray far away from the world of volunteering. “Oh, I’m still going to volunteer,” she added laughing. “You’ll still see me out there. I’m just going to step down and take a smaller role.”

Canadian treasures CANADA: NATURAL SOURCE OF PRIDE SINCE 1867 John Peters Humphrey (1905–1995) LEGAL SCHOLAR, JURIST AND HUMAN RIGHTS ADVOCATE
Quiz TEST YOUR CANADIAN KNOWLEDGE
QUESTION 1: Who is the famous Canadian best known for creating and pro- ducing the late-night sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live?
General of the United Nations, and later became the first person to hold the position of Director of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. Humphrey spent twenty years working within the UN. During his time he oversaw the constitutions of dozens of countries and helped implement numerous international conventions. He was involved in issues regarding freedom of the press, the status of women and racial discrimination. After resigning from the UN in 1966, Humphrey returned to McGill where he taught law and political science for almost thirty years. During this chapter he was also involved in a number of human rights efforts and organizations. He played an instrumental role in the creation of the Canadian Human Rights Foundation (now Equi- tas), founded the Canadian chapter of Amnesty International and directed the International League for Human Rights. Humphrey also took part in many international commissions of inquiry and helped found the Canadian chapter of the International Commis- sion of Jurists. John Humphrey passed in 1995 but his memory survives in vari- ous forms, most notably through the national and international human rights awards that bear his name. Still today, the impact and scope of his work continues tomake a difference in the quality of life of millions worldwide.
In 1948, the United Nations General Assembly unanimously adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The first draft of this globally important document was penned by NewBrunswick native John Peters Hum- phrey. In clear legal language, the UDHR asserts that every individual possesses inherent access to rights and freedoms

regardless of race, religion, sex or status. And while the UDHR is not legally binding, it forms the basis of numerous national con- stitutions, national laws, international laws and various treaties. The Canadian Bill of Rights and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which protect freedom of religion, of thought, of ex- pression, of the press and of peaceful assembly, are among these. Throughout his career, John Humphrey was committed to es- tablishing, defending and teaching human rights law. A difficult childhood, during which he lost both his parents to cancer in addition to having an arm amputated after a fire, may well have nurtured his compassionate and insightful nature. He studied law at McGill University and became a legal practitioner in Montreal for several years before becoming a professor. He taught first at McGill—where he founded the McGill Debating Union, one of the world’s most prominent debate societies—and later at University of Algiers. In the mid-1940s he was named Assistant Secretary-

Canada’s Sri Lankan community
Sri Lankan-Canadians make up a vibrant component of our national identity. Children’s rights activist Cheryl Perera, scientist and inventor Veerasingham Dhuruvasangary and esteemed au- thor—most notably of the critically acclaimed novel The English Patient—Michael Ondaatje are just a few who’ve enriched our cultural background.
NEW BRUNSWICK
Bird: Black-capped chickadee
In 2011 Statistics Canada reported that around 140,000 people of Sri Lankan heritage call Canada home. The majority of them live in Montreal and Toronto as well as other parts of Ontario. A vast portion of the Sri Lankan Canadian population claims Tamil ethnicity, and a smaller segment, Sinhalese ethnicity. While Canada has welcomed Sri Lankans since the 1940s, in the 1990s this population was the fifth largest source of immigrants in the country. The Sri Lankan civil war was a large factor for many who chose to leave their native country during this period.
The black-capped chickadee became NewBruns- wick’s provincial bird in 1983. This non-migratory passerine has the ability to conserve energy by lowering its body temperature up to 12° C on cold winter nights. This songbird is famed for its curiosity and the distinct vocalization for which it was named.
The Sri Lankan community has numerous organizations in place within Canada, primarily in Ontario but in many other cities across the country as well. The community also produces a number of newspapers in three languages: English, Tamil and Sinhalese.
Canada is home to the largest population of Tamil Sri Lankans outside of Sri Lanka. In Ontario, January has officially been decreed Tamil Heritage Month. During this month all Ontarians are invited to recognize the contributions of this community and observe Tamil celebrations such as Thai Pongal, a four-day harvest festival rife with traditional food and gift giving.

Smoking soon to be banned at hospital
On January 1, 2018, all hospitals in the province of Ontario will be mandated to be smoke-free, under the Smoke Free Ontario Act. Until that day, hospitals are permitted to identify one designated smoking area on the grounds for patients, employees and visitors. CCH has identified a designated smoking area for staff and patients, until the smoke free deadline of 2018. There has been an increase in smoke-free signage. A a smoke-free logo has been created and distributed on all patient handouts. E-cigarette use is also prohibited on the property. An individual found to be smoking in the smoke-free area (indoor or outdoor) of a hospital or psychiatric facility may be charged with an offence, and if convicted, could face a maximum fine of $1,000 (for a first offence) or $5,000 (for any further offence).

Le tricot était au rendez-vous à la bibliothèque de Cornwall, le 22 octobre dernier. En effet, Le grand tricot, un événement organisé par Chantal Gilmour, avait pour but de réunir plusieurs amateurs de l’activité afin de tricoter plusieurs paires de mitaines et des tuques. « Nous espérons pouvoir donner toutes nos créations aux jeunes enfants de Cornwall, lors des célébrations du 150 e anniversaire du Canada, cet hiver », a fait valoir Mme Gilmour. Rappelons que Mme Gilmour est à l’origine de Keep Cornwall Warm, une initiative qui a pour but de donner, sous forme de dons, une trentaine de paires de mitaines ainsi que des tuques, chaque hiver.

A collection of more than a dozen witches will be adding to the Halloween spirit downtown this year. An Art Coven is taking place Oct. 31 from noon until 4 p.m. at Pommier Square. The coven will see local artists, dressed up as witches, painting different works throughout the afternoon. Passersby are being encouraged to stop by and checkout the artwork. The hope is that they will also bring with them a canned donation for the Agap è Centre here in Cornwall. “A coven is 13 or more witches, and we thought for Halloween we’d like to get a coven of artists together,” said Tracy Lynn Davies of Cailuan gallery on Pitt Street. “We’re going to paint live and dress up “We often do that – get together as a group and go out somewhere and just paint.” – Cornwall Downtown BIA

YOUR HOROSCOPE for the week of October 23 to 29, 2016
THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: SCORPIO, SAGITTARIUS AND CAPRICORN.
ARIES A huge success or some sort of recognition awaits you. A promotion or a change of direction is in store for you. If you were sick recently, you’ll soon regain your health. TAURUS You have the opportunity to acquire property that will give greater latitude to the whole family. At the very least you’ll transform your life so that it’s more efficient and harmonious. GEMINI Be sure to recharge your phone or your computer every night. Otherwise, you may risk having an important communi- cation interrupted the next day. Your young children will ask you to drive them here, there and everywhere. CANCER You have much to say for yourself and express out loud what others only think. Your comments won’t be very tactful if your better half spends money unnecessarily. LEO You’ll be amazingly energetic. Everything is urgent and you’ll have to act quickly to avoid a disaster. At work, a promotion will make you very happy despite all the changes and the added stress. VIRGO You finally finish an interminable task at work or at home. It’s important to take a break before starting something else. If you don’t, your health may suffer. LIBRA You’ll be relieved by the verdict if you or a loved one has been waiting for the result of a medical exam. Finally you can sleep soundly and your anxiety fades. SCORPIO You encounter a few problems this week, within the family or at work. You’ll need to adjust your schedule because of a big promotion. You leap at the opportunity because of the salary that’s offered to you. SAGITTARIUS It’s time to start planning your Christ- mas vacation. You need to reserve early whether you go with family, friends, a lover or alone. Organizing everything will likely be difficult if you leave it to the last minute. CAPRICORN At work you’ll be given responsibilities relating to international concerns or train- ing. You’ll experience some difficulties in making yourself understood by people who do not speak your language well. AQUARIUS You’ll give special importance to your life partner this week. It’s clear that your love life needs a bit more spontaneity to recapture the original magic and passion in your relationship. PISCES You need to make a huge effort in order to finalize some negotiations and conclude an agreement that will suit everyone. Drastic changes are needed for you to improve your health.
