Cops lay arson charge against teen after mattress lit up
CORNWALL, Ontario - An early morning fire in the west end last month has resulted in an arson charge against a 14-year-old girl.
Police confirmed last Friday the youth was arrested and was held for a bail hearing.
She cannot be named.The fire sent a couple of residents scurrying
from their home in bedclothes.Firefighters responded to the smoky blaze at
about 8 a.m. Nov. 26 at a Second Street West home.
The owner of the home, who was not identi-fied, said the fire was sparked in a basement bedroom, and quickly engulfed a mattress.
The scene was cordoned off with yellow police tape and police cars were parked at the home for much of the day.
The homeowner said it didn’t take long for rooms to begin filling with smoke.
“I called 911 when I saw all the smoke,” she said in an interview in her driveway. “A police officer arrived first.
“He came in and saw the smoke downstairs and said ‘We’re not going down there.’”
The officer ushered the occupants of the home out, and firefighters who arrived shortly after doused the flames.
A window was broken by firefighters to allow for ventilation and fans had been set up at the front door of the home to expel the fumes.
No one was hurt. The damage was contained to the basement of the home, and was pegged at several thousand dollars.
A cancerous tumour threatened to shorten Emilienne’s life.
Your donations added years to it.

Cornwall man, just 20, lives through life-threatening strokeTodd [email protected]
CORNWALL, Ontario – At just 20 years of age Daniel O’Neil is the last person you would expect to see grappling with a debilitating stroke.
But that’s exactly what the Cornwall man faced earlier this year when his life, and the lives of his family, was turned upside down after his brain began to bleed thanks to a genetic defect that had gone undetected.
The O’Neil family will celebrate even more this Christmas because, in hindsight, there’s every indica-tion Daniel could have – and perhaps should have – died when a blood vessel at the back of his brain burst.
“They told me it was a migraine,” said Daniel, recounting the events of April 3 when, as a biochem-istry student at Ottawa U, he went to the university clinic complaining of a headache. “My vision had started to change. I was seeing cross-eyed.”
The staff at the clinic weren’t the only ones to miss the diagnosis right away. Later that day Daniel’s father Mike picked him up for a trip back to Cornwall. On the way back he vomited in the car and instead of head-ing home they went directly to the Cornwall Community Hospital.
After waiting in emergency for hours they were finally seen by a doctor, who advised them that a CT scan could not be performed until the following mor-ning. Daniel spent the night at home.
In hindsight, his parents suggest Daniel should have had the procedure done much sooner.
“He could have died so many times in his bed that night,” said his mother Linda Belanger.
The next day, when Daniel returned to the hospi-tal for the CT scan, it took doctors seconds to realize something dire was happening.
“From the time we left the CT scan until we got back to emergency they were waiting or us with a wheelchair,” said Mike.
Doctors had found a massive, life-threatening bleed created by what’s known as an arteriovenous malformation, or AVM – essentially a tangle of abnor-mal and poorly formed blood vessels that had finally burst.
Daniel was whisked away to the Ottawa Civic Hospital in an ambulance, with his father following behind.
Mike said the ride to Ottawa, and indeed the entire ordeal, will haunt him for the rest of his life.
“I was behind them and as soon as they crossed over the 401 they hit the lights and took off,” said Mike, at the time believing that his son’s condition had deteriorated in the ambulance.
Thankfully that wasn’t the case, but Mike didn’t know that.
What followed for the O’Neil family was weeks of tests, sleepless nights and ultimately a nerve-wrack-ing eight-hour operation to remove the damaged portion of Daniel’s brain.
Before the surgery simple things like articulating his thoughts, differentiating his right from his left and spelling simple words like “up” were at times difficult,
or impossible, for Daniel.The emotion of the events of this year are seared
into Mike and Linda.“I think I aged 10 years in those seven weeks,” said
Mike, fighting back tears. “It’s hard.”Belanger is equally emotional.“It shakes every cell in your body,” she said. “As
you’re going through it, it’s surreal.“I felt it was the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to
live through and I truly know how it feels to want to give my life for someone if I could. When a family is hurting the love, support and prayers from family, friends, neighbours and past co-workers are what help carry you through the journey. Finally, as a Mom I saw how courageous, brave and wonderful my chil-dren are and I am so proud of both of them.”
Despite risks like death, an inability to tell hot from cold, or physical disabilities, Daniel came through his surgery well, though he is still grappling with deficits.
He has difficulty reading, as his eyesight has been permanently damaged as a result of the stroke. Reading often leaves him exhausted, which can be difficult for what is now a fourth-year biochem stu-dent who has his sights set on graduation and a career in that field.
“I just see myself as a biochemistry student who
had a brain hemorrhage,” he said. “Graduation will mean more to me because of what happened.”
The family agreed spotting the signs of a stroke, even in someone as young as Daniel, is important.
“He was very lucky,” said Linda.The Heart and Stroke Foundation has come up
with a way to make it easier to learn the signs and symptoms of stroke.
Learning the acronym FAST could help save the life of someone having a stroke.
F stands for face. If a person’s face is drooping on one side or the other, it could indicate stroke.
A stands for arms. If a person cannot effectively lift their arms, while presenting with other symptoms, a stroke could be taking place.
S stands for speech. Like Daniel, if a person can-not speak properly, uses incorrect words or syntax, or mumbles, a stroke needs to be ruled out.
Finally, T stands for time. Time is of the essence in treating a stroke, and a 911 call can often mean the difference between life and death.
“I never really thought it could have become so serious,” said Daniel. “It took me the summer to pro-cess it.”
He acknowledges that he’s fortunate, despite the deficits he faces.
“I can still live a pretty normal life.”602 Pitt St., Cornwall 613-938-1300

CORNWALL, Ontario - With a renewed focus the Delaney Bus Lines Seaway Valley Major Atoms have taken stock of their individual and team progress this year following a successful tourna-ment in Pickering which ended in the semi-finals.
The tourney opener saw the Rapids face a fam-iliar foe, the Rideau St. Lawrence Kings. Fresh from defeat a week earlier in league play, the Kings played a determined game opening the scoring half way through the first period. The Rapids responded with Dominic Martin netting one, assisted by Tristan Miron. The Rapids would fight back to tie the game twice in the third period with goals by Tyler Sauvé and Nolan MacMillan. MacMillan also added a helper along with Landon Brownlee. The Betty Bread / Lanthier player of the game was Connor Carriere.
The Rapids found their stride in the second matchup against Timmins winning 3-1. Brownlee netted a pair with helpers from Roenick Jodoin, Connor Macdonald, and Zack Speck-Meek while Martin put one in off the pass from Thomas Pasco. Brownlee’s contributions earned him the Cornwall Flowers player of the game.
Day two started with the West Hill GoldenHawks. Again, the Rapids controlled the game with plenty of practice on the powerplay thanks to the undisciplined play of the Goldenhawks. Putting, the ‘pass’ in Pasco, Thomas teamed up with Martin again while Macdonald netted one with an assist by Jake Esdale and pro-vided a helper for Jodoin. Final score Rapids 3, Goldenhawks 0. The D&R Welding player of the game was earned by Zayne Pitblado who put

forth a solid effort at both ends of the rink.With their sights set on the semi’s, the Delaney
Bus Lines Rapids maintained their team play downing the Pickering Panthers in game 4. Speck-Meek and Macdonald worked together dishing one to Jodoin who lit the red light for the first goal of the game.
MacMillan took matters into his own hands at the end of the first with a great individual effort for goal two. The final goal was a beautiful
passing play with Brownlee chipping in from Macdonald and Jodoin who was named the play-er of the game.
In the semi-final match-up with Uxbridge the Rapids struggled to get on the board in what was a sluggish affair. Uxbridge took the game 3-0.
Returning home with a feeling of unfinished business, the Rapids immediately regrouped, reflected and agreed that they have indeed been climbing the mountain.

Our eyes are a feature we show off every day whether we want to or not. If you want to quickly change your look, treating

The ZO Hydrafirm eye crème will correct and prevent multiple signs of aging on the delicate skin of the eyes. And the ZO Diamond Glow Facial will gently exfoliate and hydrate your skin leaving it vibrantly clear and protected.
During April, VIPs can add an additional $480 savings to their everyday VIP savings on this package!
The Ultimate Eye Rejuvenation Package requires no down time and you can reapply make-up and be back to routine activities right after the treatments. To schedule your free consultation, please call 613-938-9255 or visit us online at www.vitalglow.com.

According to the American National Sleep Foundation, a short nap of 20 to 30 minutes can improve alertness and performance without creating feelings of grogginess or interfering with nighttime sleep. A NASA study that examined sleepy pilots and astronauts found that those who napped for 40 minutes improved their performance by 34 percent. While napping can be beneficial, napping can have a negative impact as well. For example, those who nap too late in the day may struggle to get a decent night’s rest later that night, when the length and quality of sleep may not be as long or as strong as it would had they not napped so late in the day. Men and women who find themselves suddenly needing a nap despite no obvious cause of fatigue should consult their physicians, as this might be indicative of a sleep disorder or another medical condition.

wHAT A YeAR: Team Cornwall touts seaway City during reviewRoxAnne DelAge
CORNWALL, Ontario - Those in attendance, at the annual Team Cornwall Year in Review, received an Olympic-sizes pep talk, early, Wednesday morning.
Olympic champion, freestyle skier, Jean-Luc Brassard, was the guest speaker at this year’s meeting, delivering a motivational message about the importance of working as a team. Brassard explained how team work easily trans-lates into success for a community.
“The amazing thing about this yearly event is that it brings together 300 local business people,” said Peter Gault, Team Cornwall chair. “These are people who have a lot of energy
already and they get to hear great news stories.”
A networking breakfast was held prior to the presentation, followed by a market place, featuring local artists and vendors.
“It’s a great event,” said Gault. “Jean Luc talk-ing about team building and working together, it couldn’t be any more appropriate for Team Cornwall and the relationship we have with our ambassadors and with the city.”
“He hit on so many points with the business people. It’s easier when you all work together.”
As is tradition at the event, manager of eco-nomic development for the City of Cornwall, Mark Boileau, recapped a year of community
news and events in a variety of sectors.Among those, Boileau said that the building
activity was very strong in 2014, with $55 mil-lion, worth of construction and the largest amount of building permits issued since 1989.
In the institutional sector, the waste water treatment plant, with the assistance of the fed-eral and provincial governments, is now Cornwall largest municipal project ever.
Calling it “a key economic link between Cornwall, Akwesasne and the US,” the Seaway International Bridge project, completion date for the demolition of the old structure, has been set for June of 2016. This will be followed by the final phase the construction of Brookdale
Ave.It will change the look, he said, a catalyst to
further development in that area both com-mercial and residential.
The presentation also included community improvements, new businesses, and artistic achievements, among others.
Gault said that their role, as Team Cornwall, is to continue to do what they’ve done in the past. “Externally, talk about Cornwall, be excit-ed about Cornwall, and don’t be afraid of say-ing, ‘By the way, I’m from Cornwall.’”
“We will continue the great message. There are a lot of great things to talk about in Cornwall.”

Some Christmas fare to celebrate the holidaysCLAUDE MCINTOSHMAC’S MUSINGS
We’re skipping the usual Musings’ fare for something in tune with the season, leading off with the annual Christmas trivia teaser.
CHRISTMAS MOVIE THAT HAD THE FOLLOWING LINES:
“Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings.”
“You’ll shoot your eye out kid.”“Uh, since the United States Government
declares this man to be Santa Claus, this court will not dispute it. Case dismissed!”
“We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup.”
“It’s all humbug, It tell you. Humbug!”“Okay, this is extremely important. Will you
please tell Santa that instead of presents this I year, I just want my family back.”
****Alvin the Chipmunk wants this for Christmas?According to the Bible, how many Wise Men
brought gifts to Baby Jesus?Where does the Grinch live?What were Frosty’s last words?What is the biggest selling Christmas single
of all time?Name the reindeer whose names begin with
“D”?
The most popular toy of 1984 was named after this vegetable.
YULETIDE THOUGHTSRemember the good old days when people
would stop Christmas shopping when they ran out of money.
The great child actress Shirley Temple told a Hollywood newspaper that she stopped believing in Santa when she was just six. “My mother took me to a department store (to meet Santa) and he asked me for my autograph.”
Hey, if you are down in the dumps about being single this time of year, consider this: Kim Kardashian is single 293 days of the year.
There is nothing like a traditional North American Christmas: an artificial tree made in Thailand, ornaments from China and lights from Japan.
You start getting clothes for Christmas when you stop believing in Santa.
DEAR SANTA:Some of the Dear Santa missives scribbled
by urchins and published by wishlist.com:“Please text my dad. He wrote the whole list.”“Can you please get me a camera because I
want one.”“Please bring me a big fat bank account and
a slim body. Don’t mix them up like you did last Christmas.”
“Its Claire again. but I’m writing for my 9
yeared old brother named Mitch. He wants a binder, binder hole pucher (I want a hole pucher, too) and sakeboard (but don’t give the saket bord to him. Mitch is very kind-hearted but has a bad temper. He also writes messy and doesn’t like to read.”
“Dear Santa, if you bring presents bring batteries.”
“I’m worried my mumys house doesn’t have a big enuf chimnee.”
“Hi I’m Deaven. I would like to know are you reel. I belive, but my Friends don’t so can you give me a sighed picture of you and Ms Clause or something else. Are you relly fat!”
YULE TIDBITSSt. Francis of Assisi introduced Christmas
Carols to formal church services.We have Santa Claus in Canada (and the
U.S.), Germany has Christkind, Holland has St. Nicholas, Russia has Grandfather Frost, France has Pere Noel, England has Father Christmas, Brazil has Papa Noel, Italy has La Bafana and Belgium has Pere Noel for those who speak French while the Walloon language has St. Nicholas.
Born on Christmas Day - W. C. Fields (1880), who had a strong dislike for kids and animals, hotel owner Conrad Hilton (1887), actor Humphrey Bogart (1899), singer Jimmy Buffet (1946) and politician Justin Trudeau (1971).
Actors Dean Martin (1995), Charlie Chaplin (1977) and explorer Samuel de Champlain (1635) died on Christmas Day.
The first commercial Christmas card was produced in 1846.
On Dec. 25, 1914, just months into the First World War, an impromptu truce broke out on the Western Front when German, French and English combatants put down their weapons and emerged from the trenches to wish each other Merry Christmas. The bizarre event became known as the (one-day) Christmas Truce.
TRIVIA ANSWERS 1) A hula-hoop, which was the rage the year before the song was released in 1958, 2) It doesn’t say, 3) On Mount Crumpit, 4) “I’ll be back again someday.”, 5) Bing Crosby’s White Christmas which has sold more than 30 million copies, 6) Dasher, Dancer and Donner, 7) Cabbage Patch dolls which were the craze of the 1980s.
MOVIE QUIZ 1) It’s a Wonderful Life, 2) A Christmas Story, 3) Miracle on 34th Street, 4) Will Ferrell in Elf, 5) Scrooge (1951 version), 6) Macaulay Culkin’s prayer in Home Alone.
ANSWER TO LAST WEEK’S TRIVIA Premier Leslie Frost official opened the new Hotel Dieu Hospital on Sept. 5, 1955.

It was a great year – but, let’s face it, they’re all great to one degree or another.
At this time of year, when the calendar is nearly measuring the number of days remain-ing in single digits, we often look back at the previous 12 months and marvel at what we have accomplished.
Rarely, though, do we take stock of what we actually have.
I took a spin through our web stats for 2014, trying to find a common theme among the top stories you clicked on this year.
The typical muck and mayhem of any com-munity was front and centre. The tragic death of Danny Lefebvre, of St-Louis De Gonzague, Que., who was racing as a replacement driver at the Cornwall Motor Speedway in June was the top single story.
The discovery of a body in the Cornwall canal just a few weeks ago also ranked close to the top.
It’s not exactly material one wants to rehash in a column at Christmas time, but there was a common theme this year, when one gets past
the hard news stories like the ones I’ve already mentioned.
The passing of Stephanie Grady, a popular local teacher who succumbed to a rare form of cancer, was close to the top of the list…and so was nearly every story we wrote about the efforts of her family and friends to help Stephanie through her time of trial.
That’s not on us – it’s because of you.The fact is, the life (not the death) of
Stephanie Grady was celebrated in the com-munity like so many other cancer patients – with grace and passion.
And when I looked beyond the headlines of stories about robberies, car crashes and city hall debacles I found items related to community involvement, selflessness and caring.
You clicked on those stories, I think, because you’re interested in the lives of your fellow Cornwallites and (most importantly) you want to help.
My wife and I (and some guy named Brazeau) took Thursday afternoon off (don’t tell the boss) and went down to the Cornwall Armoury to help with Children’s Christmas Fund activities.
It was your typical organized chaos, as vol-unteers circled the Armoury, stopping at
stations along the route filling grocery carts with food items, and in some cases toys, for needy families in and around our city.
More than 1,300 families availed themselves of the service. Many of the families had the items delivered to them by volunteer drivers, while others (almost dejectedly) accepted the free items in person…many walking up to the back door of the Armoury to grab their bags and escape, lest they be spotted by a familiar face
and labelled.The common theme at the Armoury, not
unlike our list of top stories for the year, was car-ing. Every face among the dozens (hundreds?) of volunteers was smiling. Every voice was cheerful, and every pair of hands was more than happy to help.
We’re a lot of things in this city…but selfish and uncaring are not on the list.
See you in 2015 :).

Santa wasn’t the only one who makes a list and checks it twice. I’ve been making a list of those who have been naughty.
If I had Santa’s ear, each of the following naughty drivers would get nothing more than a lump of coal under their tree. I’m sure many of you miscreants will recognize yourselves.
There are three types of parking lot motor-ists who are deserving of coal. Some mindlessly park at a way-off angle, thus occupying what was intended for two vehicles. Then there are those who park with astounding precision exactly parallel to the clearly marked parking slots, but two-feet off-centre to the guide lines. There are also the ones who advance half a space too far ahead, thereby occupying two places.
There’s a fourth type: after claiming a con-venient handicapped slot, he sprints into the store. How come he has a handicapped decal? Nothing obvious.
Then there’s ‘Ash Tray Ashley’. She dumps her week’s accumulation of cigarette butts onto the parking lot asphalt. Her lack of farming back-ground must cause her to believe that butts are a nutrient that will cause wildflowers to pop up in the spring. There’s ‘Fast Food Freddy’ who keeps a meticulously uncluttered car interior by just flings his coffee cups and fast food bag of cardboard containers, plastic utensils and ketchup packets out the window.
Christmas coal is deserved by the drivers who tailgate, those who tailgate, then recklessly pass, but then decelerate to a speed less than the car they were so impatient to overtake.
Controlled access highways are populated by motorists who should not have been allowed to get behind the wheel without the close supervision of their mothers. They mosey along in the passing lane at the posted limit, but at least 20 kph less than the intended speed of the backed-up stream of frustrated drivers behind them. Passing them on the right is hazardous and fraught with suspense, as ‘Left Lane Louise’ usually has allowed her right turn signal to remain on. It has been on since she entered the 401 at Bainsville. When she gets to Toronto, she might turn right.
Some coal should be delivered to the inattentive night drivers who fail to turn their headlights on. Technology has automatically turned on their driving lights, but a program-ming oversight has failed to include the tail lights. They cautiously drive below the posted speed limit because of the insufficient range of the auto-on front lights. Only the dim red glim-mer of their reflective tail lights gives a last-minute hint of the presence of dim-lit ‘Dunderhead’. Equally deserving of a scuttle of coal is ‘High Beam Bruce’. He’s at the opposite end of the lumen scale of his first cousin Dunderhead. No matter how much you try to advise Bruce of his faux pas by briefly flashing your high beams at him, he’s oblivious to your signal. You must continue to be blinded by him.
There isn’t enough coal in all the mines in China to give a lump to the rest on my list, so I’ll have to quit right now. Merry Christmas to all you nice people out there - and a lump of coal to the rest of you!
PEEK-A-BOO! – This guy gets up too late to clear off his windshield AND stop off at Tim’s for an Extra Large, AND get to work on time, so he dispenses with clearing the snow off his windshield.(Photo by Nick Wolochatiuk)

La directrice générale de l’Association des communautés francophones d’Ottawa (ACFO Ottawa) Chantal Nadeau ne poursuivra pas ses fonctions en 2015 à la tête de l’organisme porte-parole des francophones de la capitale.
La responsable a confirmé mardi après-midi qu’elle relèverait dorénavant des nouvelles fon-ctions au sein de l’Alliance des producteurs francophones du Canada. Son contrat doit d’ailleurs commencer le 12 janvier, a-t-elle con-firmé à L’Express d’Ottawa.
Chantal Nadeau était arrivée à la tête de l’ACFO Ottawa en juillet 2013 après une longue période de transition pour l’organisme con-sécutive au décès soudain de l’ancienne direc-trice générale Claudette Boyer en février de la même année.
S e s d i x - h u i t m o i s d e
mandat ont notamment vu une amélioration de la présence de l’association sur les médias sociaux et dans les communications.
L’ACFO Ottawa avait pris position en faveur du bilinguisme officiel à la Ville après la créa-tion du Mouvement pour une capitale du Canada officiellement bilingue au cours de l’été dernier.
Joint après l’annonce de départ, le pré-sident de l’ACFO Ottawa Alexandre Mattard-Michaud s’est déclaré «triste», soulignant le «bon travail» de Mme Nadeau dans le temps de son mandat.
«C’est pour nous une période de change-ment. Le conseil d’administration vient de voter pour une direction intérimaire laquelle devrait être en place jusqu’après la soirée du Prix Bernard-Grandmaître en février.»
Le Centre de santé communautaire de l’Estrie (CSCE) a obtenu un budget addition-nel de 199 400 $ pour deux ans afin de par-ticiper à un projet pilote visant à améliorer l’accès et la disponibilité des services de soins de santé offerts aux Ontariens et Ontariennes souffrant de lombalgie.
La lombalgie est le terme médical qui désigne les douleurs au bas du dos, dans la région des vertèbres lombaires1. C’est un problème de santé courant qui touche plus de la moitié de l’ensemble de la population ontarienne. Pour la plupart des gens, le fait d’obtenir une analyse par imagerie comme les radiographies, les tomodensitogrammes ou les images par résonance magnétique n’aide pas à évaluer ni à traiter la lombalgie2.
« L’amélioration de la qualité et de la prestation du traitement de la lombalgie peut changer la vie de milliers de personnes dans la province. Des services plus accessibles aux patients lombalgiques permettront à davan-tage d’Ontariennes et Ontariens d’obtenir les bons soins, au bon moment et au bon endroit. » explique Dr Eric Hoskins, ministre de la Santé et des Soins de longue durée.
Pour le CSCE cela se traduit par l’embauche d’un chiropraticien et l’achat de matériel spé-cialisé pour offrir des services de traitements, d’évaluation, de références et d’éducation. Les traitements de lombalgie chez un chiro-praticien coûtent environ 400 $ par visite, faisant en sorte qu’ils sont peu accessibles pour les personnes à faible revenu ou n’ayant pas d’assurances. Si une personne qui a une
lombalgie n’accède pas à des services et que le problème demeure non traité, il est pos-sible que la condition devienne chronique. Une évaluation plus rapide et plus exacte des problèmes de lombalgie, une approche davantage globale des traitements et de l’enseignement au sujet des techniques d’autogestion des soins pour la lombalgie contribueront certes à améliorer la santé des personnes touchées, mais aussi

2 Ministère de la santé et des soins de longue durée de l’Ontario. Communiqué : L’Ontario améliore l’offre de soins aux patients souffrant de lombalgie. http://news.ontario.ca/mohltc/fr/2014/11/lontario-ameliore-lof-fre-de-soins-aux-patients-souffrant-de-lom-balgie.html. 26 novembre 2014.
Chaque personne compte.diminuer les coûts relatifs au traitement
de la lombalgie. « Ce projet pilote permettra de fournir des soins de qualité fondés sur des données probantes pour aider les personnes de notre région qui souffrent de lombalgie, déclare Chantale LeClerc, chef de la direction du RLISS de Champlain. Il permettra aussi de
réduire les coûts en faisant diminuer le nom-bre d’examens d’imagerie diagnostique qui ne sont pas nécessaires comme les rayons X, la tomodensitométrie et l’imagerie par réson-ance magnétique. »
En effet, depuis le lancement de la straté-gie en matière de lombalgie de l’Ontario en 2012, il y a eu une diminution de 18,5 % du nombre de patients ayant subi des radiog-raphies, des tomodensitogrammes ou des examens d’imagerie par résonance magné-tique inutiles, ce qui s’est soldé par des écon-omies de quelque 15 millions de dollars.
Au CSCE, on dénombre déjà 150 patients ayant une lombalgie. Plusieurs partenaires prévoient aussi déjà faire des références au service pour en faire bénéficier leur clientèle. Ce projet permettra donc à plusieurs per-sonnes d’améliorer la prise en charge de leur maladie et d’être orientées vers les ressources adéquates. « Le but est d’améliorer la collab-oration entre les intervenants en santé pri-maires et les chiropraticiens de la région pour améliorer l’offre de soins offerts en français et en anglais aux populations dans le besoin », mentionne Marc Bisson, directeur général du CSCE.
Le projet débutera dans les plus brefs délais et les services d’un chiropraticien ser-ont offerts gratuitement au CSCE de Cornwall, Crysler et Alexandria et en collaboration avec la Clinique d’infirmières praticiennes de Glengarry et le Seaway Valley Community Health Centre de Cornwall. Pour le CSCE qui est un organisme qui travaille régulièrement en partenariat, le projet s’intègre aisément à son approche interprofessionnelle qui inclue l’appui de partenaires-clés.

CORNWALL, Ontario - The Cornwall Typhoons are sure to be on Santa’s nice list after giving up their Christmas gifts from the league to donate food, toys, and books to several community agencies.
Four novice division teams from the Cornwall Girls Hockey Association made a sizeable donation at Olympia Bowl on Dec. 13.
The ‘grey’ and ‘white’ squads collected non-perishable food for the Agape Centre.
Bags of presents were handed over to the Optimist Toy Drive from the ‘black’ Typhoons.
And the ‘red’ team gave dozens of books to Maison Baldwin House.
All players were between the ages of six and eight.
City councillor Carilyne Hebert accepted the food on behalf of the Agape as a board member.

Elementary school students pushed aside their classwork to dig into a special yearly treat. Despite school buses being cancelled, teachers and staff at Immaculate Conception Catholic Elementary School served a complete turkey dinner with all the trimmings at no cost to dozens of pupils Wednesday. Immaculate Conception Catholic Elementary School students were treated to a free Christmas meal on Dec. 17. “It’s important to keep this tradition alive because we want to ensure all our students have had a turkey dinner for Christmas,” said Beverley Bellefeuille, the school’s principal. The annual holiday feast included cranberries, mashed potatoes, and hot turkey with gravy. Adam Brazeau

All dolled upA husband and wife had been married
for 60 years and had no secrets except for one: The woman kept in her closet a shoe box that she forbade her husband from ever opening. But when she was on her deathbed—and with her blessing—he opened the box and found a crocheted doll and $95,000 in cash.
“My mother told me that the secret to a happy marriage was to never argue,” she explained. “Instead, I should keep quiet and crochet a doll.”
Her husband was touched. Only one doll was in the box-that meant she’d been angry with him only once in 60 years. “But what about all this money?” he asked.
“Oh,” she said, “that’s the money I made from selling the dolls.”
SCUTTLEBUTTPet Tip of the Week: Family, friends, parties,
decorations, food. It’s a wonderful time of year, however, many of the same things that make the holiday season an enjoyable time for humans, make it a dangerous time for pets. There are many seasonal items that pose a potential risk to our animal companions such as Christmas trees, decorations, electrical cords, wires, candles, human food and toxic plants. It is important for people fortunate enough to share their home with pets to be aware of these hazards and take steps to pet-proof their home to ensure their “best friends” are not put in a position where they could suffer. Also, please make sure to keep your pet safe by ensuring that antifreeze and other liquid automobile products are in tightly closed containers and stored behind closed doors.
“Tis the season for Christmas parties. Just remember the benefits of a taxi ride:
• the car is already warmed up• you can snuggle in the back seat if you choose• you help the taxi driver make a living• you can drink as much as you want to• you don’t have to get nervous if you see a
road block• and you don’t have to wake up the next day
and find out that you may have hurt someoneBe smart this Christmas season!
Quote of the Week: Instead of always harp-ing on people’s faults, tell them of their virtues.
Eleanor Porter, American novelist, 19th century.
Caller says … Attention all drivers – When at a stop light and you have an advanced green arrow…wake Up! Maybe cars behind you would like to make this turn on a green arrow instead of are waiting to go through a red light.
The Seaway News office will be CloSed on december 24, 25, 26, 31 and January 1 & 2, 2015. The office will reopen on Jan. 5, 2015 at 8:30am.
TC Media/Seaway News wishes everyone a very “Merry Christmas” and a very healthy and prosperous “New Year” to all our customers, readers, family and friends!
Food safety is especially important during the holiday season. Don’t leave food out for extended periods and be sure not to overload your refrigerator.

By the time you read this, the kids will already be bored!
More people making big money and not doing what they are paid for, Canadian Union of Public Employees finally realize that Champlain Community Care Access Centre (CCCAC) have been spending government money that was to give the elderly some help, so they could stay at home longer. CCCAC have been cutting patients from receiving home care services while others have reduced care. At the same time the CEO gets a 67,000 dollar a year raise and an award for doing a such a good job while the seniors do without. A phone number will be announced at a media conference on Friday Dec.12th, 2014. Caller hopes that everyone that has a problem with getting help for their seniors will call.
Brrrr! It’s cold outside! Make sure your pet is safe. Visit: ontariospca.ca/factsheets for winter tips!
Keeping it simple ~ As a child, my family’s menu consisted of two choices: Take it or leave it.
Let’s all practice a little patience and good manners this Holiday Season!
Christmas Cards ~ An Englishman, J.C. Horsley, supposedly designed the first formal Christmas card in 1843. It was lithographed on stiff, dark cardboard and depicted, in colours, a party of grown-ups and children with glasses of wine raised in a toast over the words “A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you.” One thousand of these cards were printed. Today, over a billion cards are sold each year in Britain and the United States alone.
