Danielle Duplantie et la passion de la vie

ÉLISE MERLIN elise.merlin@eap.on.ca

Cheveux courts, sourire aux lèvres, te- nue décontractée, mais chic… Danielle Duplantie, âgée de 61 ans, est une femme bien dans sa peau. C’est une femme en- thousiaste qui transmet sa bonne humeur lorsque l’on s’entretient avec elle. On lui confirait avec plaisir ses secrets. Elle laisse le sourire aux lèvres aux gens qui croisent sa route. Très active au sein de la communauté, Danielle Duplantie a grandi à Hawkesbury jusqu’à l’âge de 10 ans. Elle a fréquenté l’école l’Assomption, située sur la rue Cameron. Ses parents avaient unemaison sur lamême rue. C’est d’ailleurs là qu’a grandi cette femme aux ongles vernis de couleur jaune paille- tée. Son père, Jérôme, était enseignant de formation, mais travaillait au service de la paie à la CIP. Samère était une enseignante. Mais sa mère arrêta de travailler lorsqu’elle s’est mariée à 21 ans. « Je suis et je serai toujours une fille de Hawkesbury. C’est ma ville de cœur. J’y ai passé des moments formidables avec ma sœur. J’avais beaucoup d’amis… c’étaient mes cousins », confie Mme Duplantie. Son père est le dernier d’une famille de 13 enfants. Des cousins, Danielle en a donc beaucoup. « J’avais quelques cousins dans la région. On les visitait souvent. J’ai grandi auprès d’eux à Hawkesbury. C’étaient mes amis avec qui je jouais », poursuit-elle. L’un de ses meilleurs souvenirs de jeu- nesse à Hawkesbury c’est, entre autres, lorsqu’elle a joint les Jeannettes à l’âge de 8 ans. « J’étais attirée par l’uniforme des Jeannettes, et le sentiment d’appartenance à un groupe me plaisait énormément.

professionnelle à Cornwall. Puis elle s’inté- ressera aux problèmes d’apprentissage liés à certains élèves et deviendra conseillère pédagogique. À l’approche de la retraite, elle monte les grades et devient directrice de l’École catholique Jean XXII de Cornwall. Pour cette passionnée de la langue fran- çaise, la famille, c’est sacré. C’est sans doute ce qui explique le lien si particulier qu’elle entretient avec ses propres enfants. Elle est mère d’une fille, Marie-Andrée, 38 ans, et d’un garçon, Yves, âgé de 34 ans. Yves habite la région. Quant à sa fille, c’est en Nouvelle- Zélande qu’elle a posé ses valises et qu’elle s’est mariée. Danielle a une personnalité atypique; elle est créative. Ses passions sont centrées sur l’art et la découverte. Elle a voyagé un peu partout : Europe, Nouvelle-Zélande, États-Unis à plusieurs reprises, c’est une aventurière. Elle peint, elle lit beaucoup, elle adore le théâtre. Elle a aussi un goût prononcé pour les arts. Comédienne à ses heures au sein de l’Amalgame, elle a parti- cipé à plusieurs pièces de théâtre comme Les

était importante. C’était valorisant », explique-t-elle. Elle déclare sans hésita- tion qu’elle a eu une jeunesse heureuse. Mais le choc de sa vie a été en 1962 lorsque, à l’âge de 10 ans, elle quitte Hawkesbury. Un jour, son oncle appelle à la maison pour pro- poser à son père un poste d’enseignant à l’École secondaire de Cornwall, son

belles sœurs de Michel Tremblay; elle s’est vu attribuer le rôle de la dame en fauteuil roulant. La photographie est aussi l’un de ses passe-temps. Danielle est attirée par les nouveautés. Un brin hyperactive, pas question de s’ennuyer lorsqu’elle prend sa retraite. Elle décide de devenir famille d’accueil pour un programme d’échanges d’élèves. Elle ouvre sa maison à deux élèves de la Chine qui fréquentent l’École secondaire de Cornwall. Les deux « filles adoptives » de Danielle viennent de la région de Harbin, située dans le Nord Est de la Chine. Le but pour ces deux élèves est de perfectionner leur anglais. Elles se surnomment Jennifer et Snow. Des prénoms anglophones leur ont été attribués durant cet échange. « Je suis heureuse d’accueillir chez moi ces deux élèves. Une agence internatio- nale travaille avec des conseils scolaires canadiens dans le but d’aller chercher des étudiants échange dans le monde entier (…) Des gens de partout viennent chezmoi, car le conseil scolaire peut très bien attri- buer, dans les foyers, des élèves du Brésil, de l’Italie », explique Danielle Duplantie. Jennifer vit depuis maintenant un an chez Danielle, et Snow est arrivée depuis cette

année. « J’essaie de les faire parler une autre langue que le mandarin. À la maison, elles parlent anglais », explique Danielle. Danielle Duplantie est aussi à l’origine du Concours LOL, qui connaît un véritable suc- cès depuis sa création. « Je suis très fière de ce projet », avoue-t-elle. Le but était de trouver des jeunes qui pouvaient manifester leur amour de la langue française par le biais de l’humour. « Près de 80 élèves se sont inscrits. Ils ont très vite réalisé que l’humour, c’était du travail. Pour moi, c’est aussi important de démontrer que dans l’Ontario français que nous sommes capables de faire de belles choses », explique Mme Duplantie. Le premier Concours LOL fut un véritable succès. « La salle du collège était remplie; des centaines de personnes sont venues à la représentation. Il n’y avait quasiment plus de sièges vides pour la finale », explique Danielle. Elle poursuit en soulevant l’engagement du personnel enseignant et des autres per- sonnes qui ont contribué à ce concours. « Tout lemonde a embarqué dans le projet. Chacun a mis la main à la pâte et, encore aujourd’hui, cela se poursuit. C’est encou- rageant. On va souhaiter que le succès se poursuive, car, en 2017, nous allons avoir un

concours provincial dans le cadre du 150 e anniversaire du Canada », explique-t-elle. Cette femme, peu banale, confie son atti- rance pour les gens originaux, qui n’ont pas peur de faire leur marque. Elle est engagée au sein de quatre conseils d’administration, dont L’Association canadienne-française de l’Ontario (ACFO) de Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry, l’Amalgame, qui est un groupe de théâtre de lecture et d’écriture, La Clinique

juridique, ainsi que Généalogie et Archives Saint-Laurent qui est un groupe destiné à faire des recherches sur la généalogie. Danielle est aussi membre de trois comités francophones et du Club Richelieu. Cette femme libre, dont le sourire lumi- neux et la générosité contagieuse irradient l’entourage, est une femme tout simplement bien dans sa peau.

TD branch helps out River Institute

Cornwall TD Branch Managers Leigh MacDonald and Michelle Huntley stepped out of their offices for a few hours this past summer to join the River Institute research team for a sampling expedition on the river. “TD Bank Group and TD Friends of the Environment are long-time supporters of the River Institute and its amazing programs for young people,” stated Michelle Huntley, Branch Manager, “It was exciting for us to participate in the same types of adventures that the young people experience through these TD-sponsored programs. We had a great time with Matt Windle and the summer student crew, and had fun helping to set nets and take water quality measurements. We also learned a lot!” For the past 3 years, TD Bank Group and TD Friends of the Environment have provided a 3-year, $90,000 commitment to support the River Institute’s Eco-Friends Summer Camp, Jr. Scientist camp, Youth Internships, and Special Kids programs. During this period, the River Institute has inspired thousands of children through scientific workshops, camps, and unique summer work experiences. “The support from TD provides a huge contribution to the sustainability of our youth programs, and Leigh and Michelle have been great supporters of the River Institute,” stated Dr. Jeff Ridal, River Institute Executive Director, “These programs provide kids with unique experiences that strengthen their appreciation for nature and fun activities to learn about science.” Pictured are Leigh MacDonald and Michelle Huntley. — supplied photo

But the interesting aspect of the necklace isn’t what it is. It’s what it once was. “I bought it off the Internet,” she said. “The artist who made it lives close to Gaza, you know, where there are a lot of rockets.” It turns out what she’s wearing around her neck is actually made from rubble where a rocket exploded. It’s therefore no wonder that the woman, herself an artist, incorporates much of her homeland in her abstract paintings. “Some of my works are dark,” she

Through the years, Waas associated herself with several art groups as she finds the relationship with other artists to be very valuable. “It’s the connection and the exchanges of ideas that make an artist evolve,” she said. Her artwork has been exhibited in several galleries, such as in Merrickville, Perth, Ottawa, Smith Falls, Almonte, Carleton Place and Nepean. For Waas, painting is themost natural way to express herself. “ I get my inspiration from the heart,” she explained.

We all know that it’s not always peaceful there.” In total, 74 of Waas’ works will be show- cased at the Corrid’art until October 27, her official opening taking place on October 12, from 5pm to 7pm. “It’s the first time I showcase my art in Cornwall,” she explained. The woman’s artwork started in 1999 with the study of watercolor and mixed media techniques. Since then, she found acrylic to be more suitable for her purposes and decided to master the technique.

Rivka Waas is a self-proclaimed ball of energy. As she sits in Le Centre culturel de Cornwall, the woman can’t help but utter a hearty laugh. “I’m sorry if I talk too much,” she explains. But being a socialite is a great asset for Waas. Her adventure starts continents away, in the centre of the Middle East. Waas hails from Israel, a home she has never truly left. “I always have Israel close to my heart,” she admitted as she shows off a necklace she wears. The piece of jewelry, made of what

QUESTION 1: Which red-hot Canadian rapper got his start as Jimmy Brooks on the CBC television series Degrassi: The Next Generation?

“There is nothing you can’t do, if you set your mind to it. Anything is possible.” — Rick Hansen At the age of 15, Rick Hansen’s life was ir- revocably changed when a truck accident resulted in a severed spinal cord that left him paralyzed from the waist down. This event became the impetus that led him to become a lifelong crusader for the physi- cally disabled.

wheelchair track as an exhibition sport. He was the first person ever to break the two- hour mark in a wheelchair marathon. Despite all his athletic achievements, it was his Man In Motion World Tour that really put him on the map—figuratively and literally. In- spired by the courage of his friend Terry Fox, Rick decided to circle the globe in his wheel- chair. The purpose was to prove the potential of people with disabilities while raising funds and awareness. The tour allowed Hansen to cover 40,000 kilometres over 34 countries

QUESTION 2: What significant event in Canadian history took place on Sep- tember 3, 1962 at Roger’s Pass, BC?

QUESTION 3: What liquid used in homes, trains and boats around the globe did Nova Scotia native Abraham Gesner discover in 1850?

Rick’s campaign started on a personal scale with a commitment to achieving his innate athletic potential. He became immersed in wheelchair sports in- cludingwheelchair volleyball, wheelchair basketball and wheelchair track and field. His love of sport lead him to pursue a Bachelor of Physical Education at UBC, mak- ing him the first person with a physical disability to ever earn this degree from the esteemed university. But it was his talent, ability and hard work that allowed him to achieve worldwide recognition as an athlete. With a focus on marathoning, he won numerous competitions and most notably earned three gold, two silver and one bronzemedal at the Paralympic games of 1980 and 1984. He also competed for Canada at the 1984 Olympics in

across four continents in 26 months. He raised $26 mil- lion for spinal cord research and quality of life initiatives.

QUESTION 4: How many Canadian cities have hosted the modern Olympic Games?

After the tour Rick was ready to begin the next phase in his mission to “create a world without barriers.” He established and became the CEO of the Rick Hansen Foundation, a not for profit organization that’s commit- ted to empowering people with disabilities achieve their potential while advocating for a more inclusive world. To date, the foundation has raised over $220 million for spinal cord injury research and other programs. Educat- ing, motivating and promoting change are all in a days work for this inspiring Canadian.

Canada’s Finnish community

Actress Pamela Anderson, NHL player and coach Randy Carlyle, singer Lar- issa Loyva, and CEO Peter Nygard are among the more renowned Finnish- Canadians around today. Though not the largest Canadian subculture—the 2011 census reports 136,213 Canadians claim Finnish ancestry—this com- munity is substantial enough to produce a number of newspapers, a radio station, a yearly festival, and a range of Finnish cultural organizations.

BRITISH COLUMBIA

Bird: Steller’s jay

In 1987, British Columbia’s provincial bird be- came the Steller’s jay. This member of the corvid family is known for its intelligence and noisy vo- calizations. Steller’s jays sometimes mimic the sounds of other animals to scare off predators. They prefer to inhabit coniferous woodlands where they subsist off an omnivorous diet.

The first Finns came to Canada in the late 1800s but a more substantial im- migration occurred in the early tomid 21st century. There was both reason

to leave—notably the Finnish Civil War and resulting economic depression—and incentive to come—the Canadian Pacific Railway was actively recruiting labourers. In addition, much of the Canadian landscape and climate seemed quite hospitable to emigrating Finns due to its semblance with their homeland. Logging, farming and mining were common work for early immigrants while those who arrived later were more inclined to make their livelihoods in urban centres. Today, the largest Finnish communities are in Ontario and British Columbia, with sizable populations in Thunder Bay, Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie, Kirkland Lake, Timmins and Toronto. Finnish-Canadians have enriched the national mosaic of our nation with their political, athletic, artistic and entrepreneurial contributions.

Downtown piano brings melodies to Cornwall 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. 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). According to Smoke-Free Ontario, exposure to second-hand smoking causes about 425 deaths in Ontario annually, while tobacco smoking is the leading cause of preventable disease, disability, and death in Canada, causing 40,000 premature deaths each year. “It will be a difficult change for some, but staff and patients are encouraged to seek support if they wish to stop smoking while with us,” explains Heather Arthur, VP of Nursing Services and chief nursing officer.
