Steering kids in the right path
FRANCIS RACINE franci.racine@eap.on.ca
Big Brother of the year; it’s an honor Patrick Hyugen didn’t expect to receive. “I attended Big Brothers Big Sisters Volunteer night,” he explained. “That’s where I received the award.” But Hyugen asserted that he volunteers his time with the agency in the hopes of help- ing local children, not receive awards. “I do it for them,” he said. “It’s beyond rewarding for me and my wife.” The duo has formed a team that has dedi- cated nearly 20 years of combined volunteer time to the organisation. “My wife and I have what we call a group,” mentioned Hyugen. But what is Big Brothers Big Sisters? The organization, which is present within several cities, pairs up children, both girls and boys, with adult mentors. Here in Cornwall, they assist children from primarily lone parent families in Cornwall and S.D.&G., to achieve their full potential through mentoring programs with caring, responsible adult volunteers. InHyugen’s case, some of his little broth- ers were without a father figure. “I just try to steer them into the right path,” he added. His experience within the world of Big Brothers Big Sisters beganwhen he was attending col- lege. “One day, they had a representative of the agency come to one of our class and talk to us about the importance of volunteering,” he recalled. “I was hooked.” Patrick has therefore been a part of the organization since 2006. In addition, he is now part of the agency’s board. The first boy he was tasked with was only 11 years of age when he first met Hyugen. “It’s a very worthwhile cause,” he claimed. In the hopes of helpingmore boys, Hyugen de- cided to adopt more than one little brother. At the same time, his wife jumped on board and became a full fledge volunteer like her husband. Therefore, the duo had, at one time, three boys and one girl under their supervision. “It truly was and still is fun,” he declared. “But it’s a very big commitment.”
The volunteer outlined how, when the children are younger, it’s relatively easy to occupy them. “We brought them to a water- park, to themovies and to other fun places,” he admitted. “But as they get older, it’s harder to keep them interested.” He stresses that the children’s social lives
take off andmost of them start their first job. One of his previous little brother, who is now 21 years of age, has stepped up and is acting as a rolemodel for his younger broth- ers. “I don’t think he will join Big Brothers Big Sisters, but he definitely helps out,” Hyugen affirmed. “He gives a lot of advice to the younger children. He keeps them out of
trouble.” So what does the future have in store for the dedicated volunteer? “I’m certainly going to keep helping out Big Brothers Big Sisters,” he affirmed. “This is an organisation that gives a lot back to local kids.”

Fire chief appointed to board of national association Cornwall fire chief Pierre Voisine has been appointed to serve on the board of directors of the Canadian association of fire chiefs. Chief Voisine was appointed the board’s director-at-large and treasurer during a recent meeting of the CAFC in Ottawa. “It’s a huge honour to have been chosen by my peers to serve on the board,” said Voisine. “I look forward to helping with important fire safety issues nationally, which will ultimately benefit Cornwall.” Founded in 1909, the CAFC connects Canada’s provincial, territorial and allied associations and external partners for the advancement of public and firefighter safety. “Issues such as mental health for first responders, fire safe cigarettes and federal regulations on the movement of products by rail are but a few examples of the impact CAFC has had in Canada,” Voisine added. – Francis Racine

Ils appuient le centre Agapè
Des membres du comité de pastorale de l’École secondaire catholique La Citadelle ont passé une grande partie de la journée du 10 novembre dernier au Centre Agapè, afin d’appuyer les employés et bénévoles de la banque alimentaire et de la soupe populaire. Dans le cadre de sa campagne, Soyons des héros contre la faim , La Citadelle a organisé une collecte de denrées pour le centre. Toutes ces denrées ont été livrées et se sont retrouvées sur les tablettes de la banque alimentaire lors de la visite des élèves. De plus, ils ont appuyé le centre lors du service du dîner de la soupe populaire, servant une centaine de repas. On reconnaît ci- dessus les élèves Allison Pecore, Mikel Billard, Kristel Robichaud et Alexandre Cochrane. — photo fournie

FANNIE OLIVIER LA PRESSE CANADIENNE
OTTAWA—Encore plus de Canadiens ont eu recours aux banques alimentaires cette année, selon le plus récent rapport de Bilan-Faim. Si bien qu’elles commencent à avoir du mal à fournir. Le nombre de personnes qui ont reçu des denrées auprès des organismes d’aide alimentaire a crû de 1,3 % à travers le pays en 2016, pour un total 863 492 personnes aidées. La situation au Québec n’est pas plus rose, avec une augmentation de la fréquentation des banques alimentaires de 5,3 % depuis l’an dernier. De façon générale, le recours à une telle aide a explosé depuis la crise économique de 2008, avec un bond de près de 28 % depuis cette année difficile au Canada, et de près de 35 % au Québec. Le rapport du réseau Banques alimen- taires Canada survient alors que le gouver- nement de Philippe Couillard vient de faire adopter le projet de loi 70, qui coupe de près du tiers la prestation de certains assistés sociaux au Québec. Ainsi, les nouveaux demandeurs d’aide sociale qui refusent de faire des démarches d’emploi verront leur prestation de base mensuelle passer de 623 $ par mois à 399 $. «Malheureusement, oui, ça va affecter les gens », s’est désolé Philippe Ozga de Banques alimentaires Canada, en conférence de presse à Ottawa, mardi. Il rappelle que, dans des villes comme Québec ou Montréal, il

est déjà impossible de vivre avec moins de 650 $ par mois. C’est qu’une grande partie des Canadiens qui ont recours à leurs services touchent justement une aide gouvernementale, « ce qui est un gage marquant du faible soutien qu’offrent ces programmes», note-t-on dans le rapport. De fait, 45 % des ménages qui se tournent vers les banques alimentaires sont des bénéficiaires de l’aide sociale. SelonM. Ozga, le programme comme tel maintient ces gens, parmi les plus vulnérables, dans un « cycle de pauvreté ». « Le besoin inacceptablement élevé de recourir aux banques alimentaires, tel qu’indiqué dans le rapport Bilan-Faim de cette année, est le résultat de perturbations économiques à court terme et du fait qu’à long terme, les gouvernements ne four- nissent pas de formes de soutien adéquates aux Canadiens et aux Canadiennes qui tra- versent des périodes difficiles », déplore-t-on dans le rapport. Les auteurs évoquent un « tableau alar- mant » qui se dessine dans plusieurs régions.

« Certes, ces changements ont des inci- dences positives, mais cela dit, les constata- tions du Bilan-Faimde cette année nous font comprendre qu’il reste encore beaucoup à faire dans ce domaine », peut-on lire dans le document. On y recommande notamment de pré- senter une stratégie nationale de réduction de la pauvreté d’ici octobre 2017 avec des objectifs clairs, de plancher sur l’idée d’un revenu de base garanti au pays, de repenser l’aide sociale pour en faire un programme moins punitif et axé sur le soutien, ainsi que de s’attaquer plus spécifiquement à l’insécurité alimentaire dans le Nord. Le rapport s’appuie sur les données de 4140 organismes de distribution de denrées ou de repas aux quatre coins du Canada. Les informations sont recueillies chaque année au mois de mars.
Selon les données colligées, les hausses de demandes sont frappantes dans l’Ouest, notamment en Alberta (+17,6 %) et en Saskatchewan (+17,5 %) _ des provinces grandement affectées par la chute du prix du pétrolemais aussi au nord, dans l’ensemble des territoires (+24,9 %), et en Nouvelle- Écosse (+20,9 %). Les enfants constituent 36 % des Canadiens épaulés par les organismes d’aide alimentaire. C’est assez pour remplir 6000 autobus scolaires, illustre l’organisme. Dans son rapport, Banques alimentaires Canada salue certaines initiatives du gouver- nement de Justin Trudeau, dont la création de la nouvelle Allocation canadienne pour enfants (ACE) et les importants investisse- ments pour la rénovation des logements sociaux.

La soupe populaire est gérée par deux employés du centre ainsi que 20 béné- voles qui travaillent afin de soutenir le programme. « Les familles citent souvent le coût des services publics ainsi que le coût des aliments qui ont augmenté depuis les dernières années comme des rai- sons pour lesquelles ils ont besoin de la banque alimentaire, a conclu Mme Plourde. »

perspective, the touching tale won the society’s $200 prize. Published as a book in 1894, Beautiful Joe was an instant hit that catapulted Saunders onto the global literary scene. It be- came the first Canadian novel to sell more than amillion copies and was translated into numerous languages. Beyond being a good read, Beautiful Joe had a profound and unexpected impact on society: it raised worldwide awareness of animal cruelty, an issue largely ignored until then. After the triumph of Beautiful Joe, Saunders—who used the pen name Marshall Saunders, deemed more suitable for com- mercial success—went on to pen more than twenty other pieces. Many of her works were laced with social commentary on issues such as child labour, supervised playgrounds and slum clearance. Using her fame as a tool for advocacy, she gave frequent lectures and wrote columns for respected Canadian newspapers to bring attention to the causes she held dear. An outspoken member of many organizations, she was especially passionate about animal welfare and patronized several hu- mane societies. Margaret Marshall Saunders, bestselling author and recipi- ent of countless honours, passed away in 1947. Her illustrious career as both a writer and an activist left a lasting mark on society, and her best-known work, Beautiful Joe, lives on as a timeless tale of hope and love.
Born in Milton, Nova Scotia, to a family of accomplished academics, Margaret Marshall Saunders grew up in a stimulating, privileged en- vironment. She loved to read and write, learned Latin from her father at a young age, and studied abroad in Scotland and France—all things that weren’t exactly typical for a Raising awareness with the written word

woman of her time and place, and of which she took full ad- vantage. Encouraged by family and friends, Saunders chose to pursue a career in writing after finishing her studies. While her talent for the craft was undeniable, no one could have imag- ined just how important her work would become on a global scale. Shortly after publishing her first novel—My Spanish Sailor, a love story—Saunders submitted one of her stories to a contest sponsored by the American Humane Education Society. Her submission, titled Beautiful Joe, was based on true events, tell- ing the story of a once-abandoned dog that went on to save the lives of the family who rescued him. Narrated from the dog’s

Canada’s Pakistani community
According to the 2011 National Household Survey, more than 155,000 Canadians have some degree of Pakistani ethnic origin. Now a large, prosperous segment of Canada’s diverse population, the Pakistani community was nearly non-existent in the Great White North until fairly recent times. In 1905, around 200 people frommodern-day Pakistan (then called British India) migrated to British Columbia to work on the burgeoning railway system. This first Pakistani community on Canadian soil

would remain the only significant settlement from the south Asian country until the mid-twentieth century. By the time Canada’s wartime ban on south Asian immigration was lifted in 1949, Pakistan had gained its independence as a country. Because Canada’s new immigration laws heavily favoured applicants with college degrees, the first generation of Pakistani-Canadians was highly educated. Its members quickly settled into their new northern home and soon began making their own contributions tomainstream culture. Their numbers remained low, however; it was only after Prime Minister Trudeau adopted the 1976 Immigration Act that the community started seeing considerable growth, which remains steady to this day. Toronto currently hosts the largest celebration of Pakistani culture in Canada, the annual Pakistan Day Parade. In popular culture, the CBC television series Little Mosque on the Prairie, which revolved around a bi-cultural Pakistani-Canadian family, was a surprise hit and put several actors of Pakistani heritage into the spotlight. Suroosh Alvi, co-founder of the VICE media network, was born in Toronto to Pakistani parents. In pro sports, noteworthy names include former Hab Manny Malhotra as well as CFL linebacker Bobby Khan.
The sharp-tailed grouse (Tympanuchus phasian- ellus) became Saskatchewan’s emblematic bird in 1945. This non-migratory ground-forager is unique to North America. One of the species’ more interesting characteristics is its annual mating ritual in which males compete in a group “dance-off” for mates who prefer those who rest the least and dance the fastest.

Une hausse des taxes municipales pourrait devenir une réalité La valeur de plusieurs propriétés commerciales de Cornwall est en chute libre, subissant une baisse de 68,3 M$. Le comité du budget de la Ville a été informé de la chute, le 14 novembre dernier, lors d’une présentation faite par la directrice générale des services financiers de la Ville, Tracey Bailey. Cette chute signifie que moins d’impôts fonciers commerciaux seront perçus par la Ville, ce qui a déjà conduit celle-ci à prévoir une hausse des taxes foncières résidentielles afin de combler la perte. « C’est un document qui effraie, a fait valoir le conseiller municipal André Rivette, se référant à l’information qu’il a reçue dans le cadre de la présentation. » Selon l’information, trois des grands centres de distribution de la ville, ainsi que le centre commercial Cornwall Square et certains grands détaillants, auraient enregistré une perte de recettes fiscales, causée par une baisse des évaluations foncières. Afin de maintenir les services existants, entretenir et développer légèrement l’infrastructure, Mme Bailey a recommandé au conseil d’adopter une hausse de 4,57 % l’an prochain. Rappelons que la taxe municipale se chiffrait à 1,88 % en 2016. Ainsi, la facture d’impôt annuelle de 2017 serait de 1812 $ pour une évaluation de 125 000 $, de 2175 $ pour 150 000 $ et de 2900 $ pour 200 000 $. – Francis Racine Another manufacturer invests in Cornwall Evotech Industrial Coatings is the latest Cornwall manufacturer to receive support from the Province of Ontario. Ontario has invested $380,675 from the Eastern Ontario Development Fund to help Evotech revamp its manufacturing operations and expand its business, creating 20 new jobs in Cornwall.The proj- ect has a total value of more than $3.8 million and was completed on October 31, 2016.“We welcome Evotech Industrial Coatings to Cornwall,” said Brad Duguid, minister of Economic Development and Growth. “I’m pleased the company recognized the community as a place to help them expand and in- novate.” Evotech is a leading Canadian manufacturer of industrial coatings, which are used in a variety of products such as doors, windows, commercial vehicles and heavy equipment. The products are marketed under the Acrythane trademark. “More and more customers want environmentally friendly products,” said Pasquale DiPalma, vice president, Evotech Industrial Coatings. “That’s why it’s crucial for us to focus on developing more sustainable and innovative products. With Ontario’s support, our strategically located facility in Cornwall will offer premium products, allowing our company to enter new markets and become more competitive.” Evotech established operations in the Cornwall Business Park in late 2014, purchasing and reno- vating a 52,500 sq. ft. building located at 3000 Marleau Avenue. The new facility is equipped with innovative technology to develop and manufacture environmentally friendly and more sustainable water-based products. Cornwall is also a strategic location for the company to reach its North American customer base. – Francis Racine

Santa’s parade puts smiles on Cornwall’s kids
Santa Claus was in Cornwall on November 19, during the annual parade that bare’s his name. The whole of Second Street was closed off as thousands lined up the busy street in order to get a glimpse of Father Christmas. This year’s theme was none other than Disney. “It’s growing a lot every year,” said organizer Terry Muir. “We are always looking for more floats from local businesses, organizations and families and it’s free to enter.” — photo Francis Racine

Dress Purple Day Winner Les membres de l’équipe de soccer féminin de l’École secondaire publique L’Héritage ont récemment remporté le tournoi SD&G. Ce tournoi est organisé chaque année pour offrir à tous les élèves du secondaire de la région de SD&G (conseils scolaires confondus), l’occasion de se rencontrer autour du soccer, de mettre en pratique leur esprit d’équipe et leur esprit sportif et d’éprouver leurs capacités athlétiques. Les filles ont rencontré des équipes telles que Glengarry District HS, Holy Trinity, St-Joe’s, La Citadelle, Tagwi, St-Lawrence et Char- Lan, lors des matchs de qualification. Elles se sont qualifiées pour les matchs éliminatoires, après s’être classées en première place des tours préliminaires.

YOUR HOROSCOPE for the week of November 20 to 26, 2016
THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: SCORPIO, SAGITTARIUS AND CAPRICORN.
ARIES You’ll find all the inspiration you’ll need to start your own business. You’ll have new professional ambitions that highlight your talents. You’ll also make new connections. TAURUS Prepare to stand out in front of a group of important people. Be ready for a period of remarkable success. Your efforts should be rewarded with a distinction or nomination. GEMINI Turn your attention to your housework this week. By cleaning your home, you’ll free your mind from distracting thoughts. One particular moment will require you to raise your voice. CANCER Expect to deal with a lot of criticism or with people voicing their confusion. Your reactions have a certain bite to them, which helps to relieve some stress and frustration. LEO You’ll be receiving a significant amount of money, like an insurance claim or an inheritance. Approach situations that try your patience with tact and diplomacy. VIRGO You’ll be full of energy this week. Make sure to get some exercise or else you could end up feeling a little depressed. A release is definitely recommended. LIBRA Your mind is going to be preoccupied with a lot of thoughts and ideas, so sleep is going to be hard to come by. You’ll be tempted to change careers, and opportun- ities for growth will present themselves. SCORPIO You’ll be at the heart of a large crowd, or you’ll organize an event that brings a lot of people together. This is financially rewarding, but these people are very demanding and sometimes exhausting. SAGITTARIUS Companies tend make important changes at this time of the year, and fortunately, this works out to your benefit. You’ll be in line for a promotion while others are at risk of being dismissed. CAPRICORN You’ll be sorely tempted to travel. You might also have some urgent renova- tions to do at home. Either way, prepare yourself for a major expense. AQUARIUS Be prepared to face contradictory choices, which might change your plans on more than one occasion. You’ll need to be patient while things fall into place. PISCES Balancing the different spheres of your life can be complicated, but a few adjust- ments at home will make things easier. You’ll need plenty of sleep to keep your immune system healthy and strong.
