Homeopathy forMigraines
During the past year Greg, a 16-year-old, had been missing school 3-4 days per week. Obviously, he would not be passing his courses. His parents were so worried and didn’t know what to do anymore. The headache never left him; he’d go to bed with it and he’d wake up with it. With traditional medicine, the headache took on different intensities, but nothing seemed to make it go away completely. Of course, Greg had been to specialists where a scan reassured everyone that he didn’t have a tumor. But he couldn’t go on like this.
After some initial questions, 15 minutes into the conversation, I asked Greg what had changed in his life before these migraines started. He said his best friend had committed suicide. That was the key that helped me select the homeopathic remedy Phosphoric Acidum.
The improvement was gradual. Within a few weeks the head-aches had become less intense. In another few weeks, his time spent at school increased and Greg’s attitude improved.
Keep in mind that Homeopathy treats the person and not the disease. So two people with the same problem may require differ-ent remedies.

ROXANNE DELAGECORNWALL, Ontario - The Knights of
Columbus served up a heaping stack of pan-cakes, on Monday morning, in support of the Agape Centre’s launch for its upcoming fund-raiser, early in the New Year.
The Coldest Night of The Year, which will be held on February 21, is a walk to raise money for the needy, explained Alyssa Blais, executive dir-ector, Agape Centre.
“It’s really to experience what it feels like to be homeless, or hungry,” she said. “To help the hungry, homeless and hurting in our
community.”This is an annual, national fundraiser where
people get together and walk, either two, five or ten kilometers, on the ‘coldest night of the year.’ Anyone can become a team captain and rally their friends, family and coworkers to join their team, and walk for a great cause.
“It’s an amazing experience. Last year we had 98 walkers and raised $13,000.”
Participants who raise $200, before December 31st, will receive a limited edition scarf, and all walkers who raise a certain amount, according to age, will receive a hat.
Their goal this year is $25,000.“The walk takes place down town and sur-
rounding area, then everyone meets back at the centre and has chili and hot chocolate, and everybody commiserates,” she smiles.
“It’s an exciting walk; anyone can participate.”
If you don’t have a team, you can join in with the Agape Superstars.
To participate, visit www.coldestnightofthe-year.org, find Cornwall location, and register your team. Volunteers and donations are great-ly appreciated. Sorry, no dogs on the walk.
Cornwall Transit feted by city for keeping roads safeADAM BRAZEAUadam.brazeau@tc.tc
CORNWALL, Ontario - Safety can’t take a back seat when you drive 40,000 kilometres a year.
City officials handed out certificates and pins to Cornwall Transit employees with long service, safe driving, and safe working records at a breakfast ceremony on Wednesday, Dec. 10.
“The safety of our riders is very important to us and the enviable safe driving record of our employees reflects that this is something our drivers take to heart,” said Transit Manager Len Tapp.
Cornwall Transit transports approximately 828,000 passengers every year, including 40,000 trips for persons with disabilities. Operators drive more than twice the amount of the average person annually.
Several employees were also given long-service certificates from the city, including: Derek Sheppard, Marc Brisson, and Todd Lalonde (20 years), Scott Whittaker (15 years), and Claire Lebrun (10 years).
Cornwall Transit administers its safe driving program in compliance with the Ontario Safety League and the Canadian Urban Transit Association.
For more information, visit www.CornwallTransit.ca.

CORNWALL, Ontario - They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but only two came to mind for dozens of Cornwall families who got a free family photo with Santa: thank you.
Cornwall photographer Carol Grant provid-ed over 40 families with several 4x6 prints each on-site, with the help of John Lister Photography and Marlene Baker of Fashionography, at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 297 on Sunday, Dec. 21.
The Agape Centre invited every family who received a Children’s Christmas Fund basket on Thursday, and a few weeks prior, Grant shared event details on social media and in local media.
“It’s nice to have this moment captured,” said Vicky McGinn, who had her photo taken with partner Charles Lalonde and their 19-month-old son Greyson.
“It was very open and non-judgmental,” she said. “We hope it becomes an annual event.”
Lalonde added that they plan to frame the picture and make copies for their family members.
Five organizations in the City of Cornwall came together to make the event happen. The legion donated their hall free of charge, Staples Business Depot supplied printing materials, and Bridal’s Dream provided Santa with a festive chair to pose with.
The event was well received on social media, so organizers were expecting more of a turnout.
But Grant and her fellow volunteers were“It’s turned out really nice, there was more
time to meet the families and the kids had fun with Santa,” said Grant. “We had a great response from everyone - we’ll definitely be back next year.”
The photos were complimentary, but a small amount of non-perishable items and monetary donations were collected on behalf of the
Agape Centre.Grant said she started the event after hear-
ing from many local families that even $20 for a quality shot with the big man in red was too expensive.
“We wanted everyone to have the option - a lot of people can’t afford it and it’s a memory that will last them forever,” she said.

CORNWALL, Ontario - Cornwall Fire Chief Richard McCullough has announced his retirement after a 35-year career.
Hired in 1980, McCullough held every rank within the Cornwall Fire Department before taking the lead in 2013. He will be retiring at the end of April 2015.
“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time and I am fortunate to have worked with a great group of individuals over the years, both in the fire service and within other City departments,” said Chief McCullough.
His replacement has not yet been announced. He will continue to serve as fire chief if needed to help in the transition.
In a statement released Friday, Chief Administrative Officer Norm Levac said McCullough “has done an outstanding job and his leadership will be missed.”
“We wish him all the best in his retire-ment,” said Levac.
Flame goes out for Cornwall fire chief
A lagging United Way campaign that got a huge shot in the arm in the last few days has been extended beyond the New Year. Local campaign chair Nolan Quinn said the deadline is now Jan. 9, whether the United Way is successful in reaching it’s $707,070 goal, or not.
“I’m 75 per cent sure we’ll make it,” he said Friday afternoon.
Speaking of percentages, last week the cam-paign was at just 60 per cent of its goal, but that number was bootsed to 82 per cent by Friday, as the charity that funds more than a dozen mem-
ber agencies has put a push on to raise funds.That means between now and Jan. 9 an addi-
tional $127,000 will need to be found.“We may have to close it with 90 or 95 per cent
of the goal,” said Quinn. “We’ve been working hard to make our goal.”
Indeed. On Friday the United Way drew the winners for its Celebration Sleigh at the Cornwall Square. Cornwall firefighters were on hand to sing some Christmas Carols and local songstress Tracey Lalonde helped lead the singing. For more, or to donate, visit http://unitedwaysdg.com.

Williamsburg library branch to reopen next month
Mohawk artist visits Ingleside
JULIET GILL He started drawing at four years of age, pen-
cil on lined paper, at his home in Akwesasne, Cornwall Island. Jordan Tehaweiakaron Thompson’s looks bring to mind a younger Justin Trudeau; an acclaimed artist, his work has found its way to Europe, even to the Vatican. A large contingent from Akwesasne travelled to Rome in 2012 for the canonization of Mohawk saint Kateri Tekakwitha, bringing with them one of Jordan’s best-known drawings of the saint as a gift to the Pope.
A reception in Ingleside Library on December 17th highlighted a fascinating selec-tion of Jordan’s work, pen and ink drawings from Native lore. “My drawings feature Mohawk tradition”, explained Jordan. He has always been a keen observer of wildlife, his favourite being the bald eagle. He breathes life into his
subjects, making them come alive, capturing the spirit and grace of warriors, steelworkers, clan mothers and wild animals. For some close-ups Jordan watches animals in a zoo, or uses a camera. “I don’t want to see what the inside of a bear’s mouth looks like from that close”, he admits.
One of his early influences was Mohawk art-ist John Fadden, whose pen and ink style cap-tivated him. His formal art training included studio art, and art history, but his work is pure inspiration.
Come and see Jordan’s art at Ingleside Library during December. (www.sdglibrary.ca) or 613-703-0157 for opening hours. Samples of his creations, featuring mugs, prints and cards are on sale at very affordable prices (think unusual gifts). He may be contacted at jordan.thompson@mohawk-art-design.com

CORNWALL, Ontario - If experience is the best teacher, volunteering to make sure every-one has a Christmas is sure to impart a lasting lesson.
Angel Kikkert and her children Ethan, 11, Rory, 8, and Talen, 5, spent hours looping in a large distribution system, as they helped fill bas-kets with free food and toys for 1,285 families. The hours flew by and a cold draft crept though the building, but the smile on all four never faded.
“I want my kids to know that not everybody is as lucky as we are - and some people do need a helping hand,” said Kikkert. “This time of year isn’t about taking presents, it’s about giving.”
The Children’s Christmas Fund initiative spearheaded by the Cornwall and District Service Club Council, a day-long effort to help local residents during the holidays, filled the Cornwall Armoury on Thursday, Dec. 18.
After handing his mom a bag of potatoes, Ethan said the best part of paying it forward is the satisfaction of helping others in the community.
Organizers Peter Morgan and Terry Muir said more than 250 volunteers came together to make the event happen. At anytime within the 12-hour day, at least 100 do-gooders were on hand.
“There’s no shortage of help,” said Muir.He applauded Kendra Smith of the Agape
Centre for keeping the beehive of activity in order.
“Last year, we learned from experience that there needs to be somebody who coordinates the volunteers,” said Morgan.
The Children’s Christmas Fund collected over $45,000 this year thanks to a partnership with the Agape Centre and the Salvation Army. In order to receive the complimentary Christmas basket, those interested had to register and show up at the armoury between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.
Muir estimates that 4,000 people will benefit from the annual initiative.
“No one in Canada should go without food,
but somehow this happens - so we have to fill the void,” said Morgan.
He added that civic pride is at an all-time high during the charitable event.
“There wouldn’t be the same spirit there is in Cornwall during Christmas time without this day or the people who make it happen,” said Morgan.
Ralph Brunton, organizer of the Optimist Toy Drive, said their partnership with Sparky’s Toy Drive, Salvation Army, business sponsors, and local high schools resulted in a larger-than-usual amount of gifts for youths. The Optimist Club of Cornwall took over the toy drive this year.
“We stepped up to the plate,” said Brunton. “It was challenging, but the support from this com-munity made it worthwhile.”
Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School and St. Joseph’s Secondary School donated a com-bined $2,000 for gift cards for teens along with a large haul of toys. Brunton thanked Frank Hunter, who previously spearheaded the toy drive before stepping down due to health issues, for his tireless efforts. The SD&G Highlanders also worked for days to prepare their beloved train-ing grounds for the event.

It’s a mixed bag, always is and there is plenty to work with. First and foremost, the scary side of the game of hockey struck last week and we send our best wishes thoughts and prayers to Smiths Falls Bears Neil Doef injured in the junior A Challenge in
Saskatchewan. How about the Toronto Raptors? At least a
second round play-off and who knows where they may land. This has to have been the weirdest of NFL seasons on record, bad teams - good teams and scores that make no sense.
My Browns seemed to make some strides,
but they couldn’t beat the worst two teams in the league and that cost them. As for the Super Bowl - the way the season went - New Orleans may as well win it. Hmmm...Nashville 9-2 over Toronto and the Leafs are in trouble or was that just a teaser - way to go Randy Carlyle, here’s hoping for a big finish. Please
Michel Therien, can you let PK play. World Junior Tourney is almost set to go and its about time we win one - don’t you think! Colts are staying in the hunt, Coach Ian will have a busy month getting set for the January 10 trade deadline.
Trouble this year is, a new play-off format in the CCHL which will add two more teams to the mix, making it not so easy for lower seeded teams to deal away their star players. Good luck coach, as the run to the Fred Page Cup heats up. That other team at the Complex got their Christmas present early, Steve Moreau stood up and saved the RiverKings. No truth to the rumour Steve will be auc-tioning off Brock Frost’s curvy comfy red vel-vet office lounger.
Is Dan Allaire growing one of those Duck Dynasty Chia Pet beards on his chin? Lots of OHL talk in the city recently, sorry folks (fans) no one hurt more than me when the Royals left and I didn’t even live here during the magical years.
They are not returning. Heard recently that TSN’s Michael Landsberg host of OTR tweeted out to local hockey writer Ashley March, hinting she could be a guest on his show. Now, that would be something Miss March! Hmmm, why does Miss March sound like something I might have looked at when I was 15. So, we have a new Mayor and council.
Thanks to Mayor Bob, Denis Thibault, Dennis Carr, Glen Grant and Gerry Samson for your work over the years. To the newbies - Good Luck! Did you know that before St. Felix Street, the road was called rue Belfort. Seems the postmen of the day, could not distinguish between Belmont and Belfort and even Bedford, so they named the street after the church at her foot.
Well, one day someone might rename Second Street to Mini Lane 1 East and Mini Lane 2 West. I saw my first snowmobile riding safely in Mini Lane 2 West last week - Who knew, the mini lanes would be seasonal. Merry Christmas and Happy New year every-one - need a good book - get in touch, I just happen to have a pretty good one!8

PUCK BATTLE: City wants family to remove huge rink from their front lawnTODD LIHOUtodd.lihou@tc.tc
CORNWALL, Ontario - A Cornwall family has been ordered by city hall to remove a huge hockey rink from their front lawn because it apparently contravenes municipal bylaws.
The popular neighbourhood rink sits on the front lawn belonging to Brian and Laura Vincent on Monaco Crescent.
The 30x50-foot rink is pimped out with boards that rise some 2.5 feet, covered with vinyl sheeting to protect them from pucks and the elements.
Laura said the rink, which was erected last winter too, has become a hotspot for neigh-bourhood shinny players and hockey nuts look-ing to spend some quality time outdoors.
“There are about six or seven kids playing on it on any given day,” she said in a phone inter-view. The din of young players could be heard in the background as she spoke. “Sometimes a whole hockey team will show up for a practice.”
But that could all change by Jan. 5 if city hall gets its way.
A couple of complaints against the rink have been filed. The city is suggesting the rink is con-travening a city right-of-way bylaw that pro-hibits structures from being built too close to city property and thoroughfares.
“They say it’s an obstruction,” said Laura. “But we drove around when we built it, just to make
sure, and you can still see pavement.”The Vincents claim the rink is about 10 feet
from the road, and aren’t sure what comes next. Laura said there is no appeal process, and with as much as a foot of ice in some places she doesn’t know how the family can remove the rink at this point.
The notice the couple received from the city suggests if the rink isn’t removed by Jan. 5 the city will take it down - at the Vincents’ expense.
The couple has leapt to social media to gain support for their plight - with many supporters sounding off against the city.
A representative from the city’s bylaw department was not immediately available for comment.
Coun. David Murphy has spoken with both the Vincents and city administrators and sug-gested discussions could take place to find a happy medium.
“I would like to see the city allow them to leave it up for this winter,” he said. “With the understanding that next year they won’t be able to do it.”
Murphy suggested as much as 40 per cent of the rink is impacting the city’s right-of-way.
He said the city got involved when it received a couple of complaints from residents. Murphy added the city reacts to complaints of this nature and doesn’t “go looking” for these types of infractions.

Get out your pencils – it’s time for the annual New Year’s predictions.
As we look ahead to 2015 there are a few items of interest that we suggest you keep your eyes and ears pointed at – some of these things just might come true.
CITY COUNCIL DROPOUTThe ink was barely dry on the ballots
from the 2014 municipal election here in Fun City when the Monday morning quarter-backs started to predict at least one city council member would not make it to the end of the looming four-year term.
Perhaps it was because of the all the new faces around the city council table, or maybe it had something to do with the fact that recent councils have not, completely, made it to the end of their mandate, but there was plenty of talk about the potential for a dropout.
Rumours were swirling over the holidays that a member of city council was about to find themselves with some serious decisions to make about their political future early in 2015.
I can’t recall the last time there were so many sideshow antics this early in the term of a municipal body in Cornwall.
If a city councillor falls by the wayside the next person in line, based on past practices, would be Guy St-Jean who finished in 11th spot, just out of the running. St-Jean is now making a comfortable home for himself in Florida, and in spite of his desire for public service I think he may have personal com-mitments that will have to be weighed heav-ily if he should be asked to sit at the council table.
After St-Jean sits a couple of veteran for-mer councillors in Denis Carr and Glen Grant.
Stay tuned…this one could dominate early 2015.
CITY BUDGET 2015The first municipal budget to be under-
taken by this new city council (how long before we can stop calling it that?) should be interesting.
Some critics have already labelled this council a bunch of cutthroats for agreeing to a water bill hike a few weeks ago, despite many councillors signing a pledge to keep taxes as low as possible in Cornwall.
A couple of things to consider – water bill increases are tied to improvements to the system, and while they’re basically a tax, there’s enough wiggle room to sug-gest they fall out of the realm of property taxes.
Those who signed the pledge were asked to do their best to mitigate a tax increase, not shelve one completely. And while I think there will be some efforts to reduce the tax burden on ratepayers, it’s obvious we’re looking at another increase this year, no matter how you slice it.
Smart councillors will look to eliminate budget expenditures completely, instead of delaying spending until next year or the year after. Here’s hoping they can find those savings, in spades.
I worry that with many left-leaning coun-cil members there could be a run on spend-ing when it comes to outside agencies and matters of so-called social conscience.
LIFTOFF 2015What was once Cornwall’s only marquee
summertime event is, apparently, returning for another year in Lamoureux Park.
The Lift-Off hot-air balloon festival has set aside July 9-12 this year, at least accord-ing to the Facebook page attached to the event. It has company among the outdoor Cornwall festivals these days, with the likes of Ribfest also drawing crowds into the sum-mer heat of the Seaway City.
Beyond the dates, though, we’re not sure
what to expect from Lift-Off this year. Organizers have been eerily quiet this holi-day season. A Yuk-Yuk’s event took place in early December, but aside from that it has been decidedly silent on the Lift-Off front as of late. Typically things are anything but, as organizers look to raise funds during the holiday season.
I hope Lift-Off returns – which isn’t to say it won’t, or that there is talk of taking time off. But I just get the feeling Lift-Off, after 20 years in Cornwall, may be undergoing an identity shift.
It’s just a theory, though…and I’m no scientist.
CORNWALL’S LANDSCAPEThis isn’t your grandfather’s Cornwall
anymore…and your father may have trouble recognizing it in 12 months.
Changes are afoot here. The biggest is the demolition of the north span of the Seaway International Bridge. The removal of the towering collection of steel and con-crete has created traffic headaches on Brookdale Avenue, but it is also marking a new chapter for Cornwall’s skyline.
By early 2016 it’s expected the bridge will be completely down – which means we will see some serious demo work for the balance of this year.
In just a few months (weeks?) the new Walmart Supercentre on Ninth Street will be completed. I grew up in a time when that property was a dirty piece of local geog-raphy in the city centre.
Our children will know it as a brilliantly lit place of commerce that I’m sure neighbour-ing homeowners will take some time get-ting used to.
And maybe, just maybe, by the end of this year some of us who use Second Street daily will get used to the lame-brained deci-sion to turn it into a single lane of traffic run-ning east-west.
Bah…probably not.
MAPLE LEAFS CROWNED 2015 STANLEY CUP CHAMPS
Obviously I have been into the holiday spirits a little too much.
But on a bright hockey note, Cornwall will play host to the 2015 Fred Page Cup.
Of course, by the time the Colts finish their victory lap in the Fred Page final (we hope) their neighbours at the civic complex, the Cornwall River Kings, will likely be on their eighth or ninth owner.
See you later in 2015.
Some predictions on the year to come

Best of the season from Cornwall policeDear editor:
Another Christmas season is here, and with it, plenty of hustle and bustle for most of us, preparing for time with family and friends. As we do that, let’s also take a moment to do a kind deed for a stranger, a friend, a co-worker. Take a moment and put a smile on someone’s face, most of the time it’s the simplest things that have the greatest impact.
The members of the Cornwall Police Association appreciate the opportunity to keep Cornwall safe year round and are grateful for
the support and kind deeds they have received from our city’s amazing residents throughout the year. We look forward to 2015 and another year of service!
On behalf of the men and women of the Cornwall Police Association membership who serve our great city with pride, I’d like to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season, and please remember, if you’re having drinks and need a ride, plan ahead or call a cab, don’t drink and drive!
Dave MacLean, PresidentCornwall Police Association

OPINION
CLAUDE MCINTOSH
In the peacefulness of his office, at the end of his first official day on the job, the new mayor of Toronto sat down and penned his first official letter on “Mayor’s Office” letterhead.
The letter was from Nathan Phillips to his mother, Mary, back in Cornwall.
The date was Jan. 3, 1955.Phillips grew up in Cornwall where he
attended Central Public School and Cornwall Collegiate before becoming a prominent Toronto lawyer and politician.
Several years ago his nephew, Bernard (Bernie) Miller, gave me a copy of the letter, which had become a Miller family keepsake.
“Frankly, I have tears in my eyes as I write, for joy of course ... because it is a long way up the ladder from 22 York St. in Cornwall to the office of mayor of one of the great cities of the world,” he wrote.
The red brick two-storey house with a large veranda was torn down years ago.
His first day was busy. It started with a call from the lieutenant governor of Ontario, the Queen’s representative. This was fol-lowed by a visit to the Armoury where he was received by the officers’ and sergeants’ messes.
“You would have got a thrill seeing the pipers in uniform pipe me around the armouries,” he told his mother.
He later called on Cardinal McGuigan
and the Bishop of Toronto before taking in a Leafs’ game at Maple Leaf Gardens with his son, Howard.
He noted that except for the hockey game, the others were a sampling of some of the “social affairs the mayor must indulge in.”
Phillips’ mayoral victory made history. He became the first non-Protestant, and first non-Orange Lodge member in the 20th Century to hold the office, something he noted in his letter.
“Well, your white-haired boy has made history and he will try to do a good job,” he told his mother.
He finished the letter with “So, the Mayor of Toronto, your devoted son, closes his first letter written by him from the mayor’s office to the best mother in the world. With love, Nathan.”
Phillips would remain in office until 1962. In all, he spent 36 years as a councillor and mayor.
The new Toronto City Hall along with the parkland around it was named in his hon-our: Nathan Phillips Square.
As he said, not bad for a kid from 22 York Street.
**** BOLD PREDICTION: There will be a
federal election in 2015. We just don’t know the date, albeit some polit ical prognosticators have called it for early spring.
We know that Guy Lauzon will put his title on the line in Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry. What we don’t know is who will challenge the veteran Conservative MP.
Neither a New Democratic Party nor Liberal candidate has been declared, which doesn’t give either riding association much time.
The NDP had a pretty good candidate in the 2011 election but Mario Leclerc has moved back to Quebec. Bernadette Clement, who ran away with the city councillor race, could be back for the Liberals. Hard to see her turning down a personal plea from Liberal leader Justin Trudeau if one comes, but if she does not run a real possibility is Tom Manley. He garnered 27.2% of the vote in 2006 when Lauzon won re-election. It has been all downhill since.
Lauzon will be a tough nut for the Liberals to crack. He grabbed 62.1% of the 47,550 votes cast in 2011. In 2008, he took 57.3% of the 45,073 ballots. The Liberals edged the NDP for second place, 17.9% to 17.5%. Lauzon has won four general elec-tions. His smallest margin of victory was in 2004 when he grabbed 44.9% of the vote to take down incumbent Liberal Bob Kilger. He has painted the riding solid Tory blue.
You can never say never, especially in politics, but hard to see the kind of voter defection it would take to dethrone Lauzon. The real fight will be between the Liberals
and NDP ... for second place.****
HERE AND THERE Not much doubt about the local newsmaker of 2014. Leslie O’Shaughnessy’s mayoral victory over incumbent Bob Kilger ranks as one of the biggest upsets in local municipal election history. He did it with a shoestring campaign budget that was less than what some councillor candidates spent, a handful of signs and a campaign team of about six people, mostly family. It ranks right up there with upset wins scored by Emile Menard (1957 over Aaron Horovitz), Ed Lumley (1971 over Nick Kaneb) and Phil Poirier (2003 over Brian Sylvester).
SEEN AND HEARD Kudos to the Cornwall Curling Centre senior men’s section. The hat was passed at the Dec. 19 Christmas luncheon. Almost $700 was raised for Hospice Cornwall. ... And to Mike Heenan and Andy Petepiece for another great Old Jocks’ Night at the Navy Club. Among the old sweats were Gilles Leger, Pierre Guindon, Moe Racine, Ron “Satch” Quenneville, Jean Payette, Gord Hickey, Doug Casselman, Paul Gaudet, Reg Patenaude, Billy Upper, Hank Blanchard, Larry Gabri and Barry Doyle.
TRIVIA In 1933 Julien’s Service Station opened at 15 Montreal Rd. In 1937 it became Landon Service Station. What did it become known as in the mid-1950s?
Not bad for a kid from York Street
Dear Editor,With regard to City of Cornwall revisiting
the water fluoride issue and subsequent to the last appearance of the medical officer of health before council on the fluoride issue, some new information has surfaced. Concerned citizens used the freedom-of-information act to legally require Health Canada to provide documentation on the fluoride compound called hydrofluorosi-licic acid that is added to municipal
drinking water. Documentation provided by Health Canada indicated that there was NO documentation on the dental effective-ness of hydrofluorosilicic acid.
Interested citizens may view the docu-ment by clicking on the link provided at the facebook page of Fluoride Free Cornwall.
All documentation provided to the City of Cornwall by EOHU on the alleged benefit of water fluoridation pertained to fluoride compounds other than hydrofluorosilicic
acid, the compound that Cornwall had ear-lier added to municipal water. That com-pound is scraped from the inside of indus-trial chimneys at factories in China that produce fertilizer and marketed for water fluoridation. Documents supplied by EOHU involved calcium fluoride and sodium fluoride.
Concerned citizens are making applica-tion under the freedom-of-information act to obtain documentation on the dental
effectiveness of a hazardous toxic poison compound called sodium fluorosilicate that is being marketed for water fluorida-tion, by a company based in China. It is pos-sible that the documentation would be public information by the time Cornwall City Council again discusses adding fluor-ide compound (from China) to the munici-pal water.

CORNWALL, Ontario - Cornwall’s Wesley and Jennifer Jurchuk opened their new store, located at 525 Ninth Street East, at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 19.
By closing time, over 270 people had indulged in the trademark flavours of the Encino, Calif.-based froyo chain. The Jurchuks credited their strong social media presence on facebook.com/cornwallmenchies for the city’s immediate outburst of support.
“We wanted to add something different to Cornwall,” said Wesley, 44.
He grew up in Williamstown and his wife in Long Sault.
For years, their three daughters Kirstin, 22, Kylie, 19, Abby, 14, have kept them travelling from one athletic competition, mostly hockey and weightlifting, to the next. And along the way, Menchie’s became a favourite stop. The trio is now working there part-time to help the family business grow.
Judging by the jam-packed opening night, Wesley said it’s clear that Menchie’s attracts a wide demographic.
“I’ve been quite impressed with the amount of people, especially seniors coming through,” he said.
The store carries a dozen flavors of frozen yogurt on any given day. Customers can add as many of the 40-plus toppings and multiple sauces as they like and pay at the counter. In addition, cakes and smoothies will be arriving soon.
The price is $2.14 per 100 grams plus tax. An average container costs between $5 and $12.
There are also two varieties of sorbet for those with a sweet tooth and are lactose intolerant, and there’s a no-sugar option on tap for diabetics.
The new Menchie’s also hopes to add a day-time seniors discount in 2015.
“Cornwall’s never had anything like this,” said Jennifer. “I hope people really enjoy it and come back.”
The 1,800 square-foot brightly coloured lime green establishment has seating for 30 and is the 112th Menchie’s in Canada, accord-ing to Wesley. A patio will be unveiled this summer.

Des œuvres du magicien de l’illusion et de la géométrie au MBAC
Gerges Escher voulait que les gens puissent admirer les œuvres de son célèbre père Maurits Cornelis Escher. Au fil des années, il a fait don de près de 230 œuvres au Musée des Beaux-Arts du Canada (MBAC). Le mathémagicien présente 54 œuvres de chacune des sphères de fascination de l’artiste.
Il est possible que vous ayez déjà vu les œuvres de M.C Escher dans des livres de sciences ou de mathématiques. Entre les murs de la Salle des dessins, estampes et photographies, on ret-rouve autant des œuvres d’architectures impos-sibles que du paysage italien, des œuvres mathé-matiques et des œuvres de perception.
Dessinateurs, mais aussi illustrateurs de livres, MC. Escher était aussi graveur. En cinquante ans de carrière, il a créé quelques centaines d’estampes. Sur les 450 différentes réalisées au fil des décennies, on en retrouve quelques-unes qui sont le fruit de l’expérimentation de l’artiste. On y découvre différents procédés d’impression de la gravure sur bois de fil et de bout à la lithographie et la mezzotinte.
L’artiste était surtout connu pour sa fascina-tion de la logique géométrique, des mathéma-tiques et de la symétrie. D’une œuvre à l’autre, on découvre des jeux d’illusion, des situations qui plongent dans l’imaginaire.
Dans ses architectures impossibles, comme Le Belvédère, Relativité et Cascades, ils défient les lois de la physique et tentent de défaire ce que l’on prend pour acquis, rappelle la conservatrice asso-ciée des Dessins et estampes européens, améric-ains et asiatiques du Musée, Sonia Del Re.
Le travail de l’artiste est encore dans l’imaginaire du peuple, même plusieurs décen-nies après sa mort, note-t-elle. «Près de quarante ans après sa mort, on voit encore un impact sur la culture populaire», croit Sonia Del Re.
Les œuvres sont tirées de la collection du MBAC, la troisième plus importante collection publique d’estampes d’Escher au monde.
Le fils du célèbre artiste était présent pour pré-senter les œuvres de son père lors du lancement de l’exposition devant les médias.
Horloges à voirEn terminant le parcours de l’exposition, le vis-
iteur est aussi invité à s’arrêter pour découvrir l’exposition Horloges à voir. Photographies, temps et mouvement, qui regroupe une quarantaine de photographies historiques et contemporaines. Au total, 19 artistes y sont représentés, dont Harold Edgerton, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Michael Snow et Serge Tousignant.
Les différents photographes se penchent notamment sur la notion du temps et du mouve-ment, comme Harold Edgerton qui fige dans le temps l’explosion d’une bombe atomique.
Kathleen Wynne renforce son pouvoir à Queen’s ParkÉlue à la tête du Parti libéral de l’Ontario (PLO)
en 2013 et de fait première ministre, Kathleen Wynne a continué sur sa lancée en 2014, per-mettant à son parti de redevenir majoritaire à Queen’s Park après les élections du 12 juin.
Bien que déclenché par le Nouveau parti démocratique (NPD) après le rejet du budget déposé le 2 mai, le scrutin allait finalement voir les troupes de la chef Andrea Horwath faire pâle fig-ure durant la campagne. Au contraire, les progres-sistes-conservateurs de Tim Hudak n’ont eu de cesse de tirer à boulets rouges sur Mme Wynne et son prédécesseur Dalton McGuinty.
Si le scandale des centrales au gaz revenait souvent dans les paroles de M. Hudak, ce dernier affichait une volonté de sabrer drastiquement dans les dépenses provinciales pour relancer l’économie. En visite à plusieurs reprises à Ottawa, ville d’ailleurs marquée par son fort taux de fonc-tionnaires, M. Hudak clamait haut et fort ses hési-tations à financer la seconde phase du train léger.
Bilan? Le PC de l’Ontario n’est pas parvenu à convaincre, puisqu’aucun de ses candidats n’a délogé les libéraux dans les circonscriptions ottaviennes. Bob Chiarelli était de fait reconduit à Ottawa-Ouest-Nepean, de même John Fraser (Ottawa-Sud), Yasir Naqvi (Ottawa-Centre), Grant Crack (Glengarry-Prescott-Russell) tandis qu’une nouvelle venue Marie-France Lalonde succédait à Phil McNeely à Orléans.
À l’échelle provinciale, le raz-de-marée rouge se traduisait par 58 sièges obtenus, alors que le PC dégringolait à 28 députés, et le NPD restait rela-tivement stable avec 21 postes.
Meilleur reconduite…et Procureure généraleSymbole des Franco-Ontariens à Queen’s
Park, Madeleine Meilleur a entamé le 23 octobre une douzième année à la tête de l’Office des Affaires francophones (OAF). Le 26 mars, la dépu-tée d’Ottawa-Vanier était également nommée Procureure générale de la province.
Toujours sur une note francophone, la dépu-tée d’Ottawa-Orléans Marie-France Lalonde annonçait en novembre la création d’un caucus francophone sur les bancs de l’assemblée, lequel devrait rassembler une vingtaine d’élus franco-phones et francophiles.

Here’s a list of people with a problem in com-mon: airline passengers, arctic trekkers, astro-nauts, hikers, homeless people, pregnant women, shoppers, toddlers and tourists.
They all need access to a toilet facility. No matter how rich or poor, no matter where we happen to be, no matter how young or old we are, there are times when we need to use ‘the facilities’.
In our familiar home surroundings, there’s no problem - no problem unless you are one of the millions of men, women and children who live in Third World countries and in refugee camps. In those situations, ‘the facilities’ are, at best, noth-ing more than an open ditch.
Consider our local homeless: they may have access to the toilet in a hostel at the end of the day. They are not welcome in restaurants. In down-and-out urban areas, fast food outlets control access to their washrooms to keep out undesirables.
The elderly, people with a medical condition and parents with young children just can’t wait when Nature calls. A washroom has to be nearby and immediately available.
When toilet facilities are not available in time of urgent need, the outcome can be humiliating to say the least.
A tip of my Tilley to the fast food places such as Tim Horton’s, MacDonald’s, Taco Bell and Burger King who so generously allow free access to their washroom facilities. Major airports,
subway systems, train stations and public librar-ies are also good places to ‘go’.
In some tourist areas, store signage pro-claims ‘WASHROOM FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY!’ Why? It’s quite a production to clean, stock, maintain and supervise a washroom. No one retail outlet should be expected to shoulder the burden alone.
As a traveller across Canada, United States, Europe and North Africa, I have experienced first-hand the problem of public access toilet facilities.
One small town, Carberry, Manitoba is virtu-ally unique. Its modest main street has many small businesses. It also has a public washroom, maintained by the municipality, financed by the general taxes.
Here’s some interesting statistics: “Of the world’s seven billion people, 2.5 billion do not have adequate sanitation. One billion still defe-cate in the open.” Women and girls risk rape and abuse because they have no toilet that offers privacy.Our homeless people endure indignities and hardship by their lack of access to public toilets. Maybe 2015 could include an awakening of the need for adequate public washrooms for all. Yes, it would cost, but access to toilet facilities and drinking water is a basic human right.
Here’s another little factoid: in 2013 the United Nations General Assembly designated 19 November as annual World Toilet Day. Isn’t it about time we do something about it? In 1967, Ontario’s theme song was “A place to stand”. Perhaps on November 19, 2015, we could adapt it to “A place to sit”.
a place to sit - everywhere

The rain did not dampen the Christmas spirit of a group of carolers who made their way through Riverdale, Wednesday evening, to raise funds for Hospice Cornwall. This is the fourth year for the event which has raised over $700 to date. Pictured (in back L-R) are some of the carollers who participated, Sue Torrance, Alison Hudson, volunteer coordinator, Hospice Cornwall; and Andrea Torrance. In front (L-R) are Paisley Tyo, 2; and Caydence Andre, 7.

Shar’s Tip of the Week
CLEAN “GREEN”
“Clean up the earth now” is the rallying cry. Who’s going to do it? Point the finger in the right direction - ourselves. Here are a few things we can all do that will have an impact.
1. Think reusable. Use cleaning cloths instead of paper towels and so on.
2. Use concentrated cleaners. Cleaning chemicals that you mix in your own spray bottles with water.
3. Recycle the cleaning product containers that can be recycled.
4. Dispose of leftover or outdated cleaning products safely. Check with local Environmental Agency if in doubt.
5. Take care of everything you have. This will double the life of most things and drastically reduce both the need for new purchases and the solid waste problem in garbage sites.
6. Don’t use more of any cleaning solution (laundry, dish detergents etc…) than you need. Cleaning chemicals are designed to work at a certain ratio of dilution. If you add more to the water than the label says, it won’t just leave dulling detergent residue and call for extra rinsing. It’ll actually lessen the solution’s dirt-dissolving power.
7. Don’t procrastinate. Waiting to clean almost doubles the energy and cleaning supplies needed to accomplish the job.
8. Clean up after ourselves. Right! If from today on we would all take just five minutes and pick up just after ourselves, we wouldn’t spend so much time on cleaning.
Seaway News office has moved to a new location … our new address is now: 501 Campbell Street. Unit 6.

Santa Claus (aka Brett Denneny), who just happened to be at Leon’s in Cornwall, went out of his way to visit with Violet Bergeron recently. Violet’s friend Claudette Wanzer said Santa made a great impression on Violet, who has been a good girl all year long.

Honk your horn for Cornwall Toyota. The local dealership raised $1,636 for the United Way of SD&G.
Marie Morrell would like to thank Alyse Butler and Katie Aitken for bringing back safely Princess who escaped under the fence. You girls are making a big difference in this community and your parents must be really proud of you. Thanks for giving us back our family holidays to include Princess. We all love you for your kindness.
Turkey sandwiches, turkey pot pie, turkey stew, turkey à la king, turkey soup … we are so blessed to have such food. No complaints about leftovers!
Youth is when you’re allowed to stay up late on New Year’s Eve. Middle age is when you’re forced to.
Most animals require extra calories during cold weather to maintain a comfortable body temperature. If you’re cold, they’re cold too. Please speak with your veterinarian about adjusting your animal’s diet accordingly. Snow does not provide outdoor animals with adequate water. Extra care must be taken to ensure that drinking water is always available. If you know of an animal who is being neglected or abused, call the OSPCA. Unlike most crime victims, animals can’t seek help for themselves. They depend on you to stop their suffering and if you don’t call, who will? 613-936-0072.
Quote of the Week: If you have much, give of your wealth; if you have little, give of your heart. Arabian Proverb.
Seaway News wants your opinion! Every week dedicated readers flock to the back pages of our print edition for Scuttlebutt. There’s always plenty of community gossip (on the positive side) and shout outs to local people, businesses, and charities making a difference in the city and the counties. We want your colour-ful thoughts in black and white. Submit your ‘scuttlebutt’ for consideration (e-mail adam.bra-zeau@tc.tc). With a circulation of over 37,000 in Cornwall and SDG, plenty of people will be reading.
Pet Tip of the Week: If you kennel your dog outdoors, be sure to provide an insulated dog-house adequate for your dog’s size. Dimensions are critically important for your dog to maintain warmth in the doghouse with its own body heat. During severe weather, dogs may need to be brought inside. Visit: ontariospca.ca for infor-mation about the ideal doghouse. Winter Tip: Check your dog’s water bowl often … water can freeze when the weather gets chilly!
Friends of Vets would like to thank Red Ribbon Campaign and Cornwall Veterans Freedom Riders for donating 2 Christmas Baskets to help local veteran families in need this Christmas season.
Don’t forget to “stoop and scoop” when walking Fido. Even though it’s winter and the snow is on the ground, it doesn’t disappear. It will still be there in the spring, so bring along a bag!
They Catch On Quickly ~ Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
