Editorial by Jason Setnyk

There is a popular new page on Facebook entitled "We Love Cornwall". What does "We Love Cornwall" mean to me? Loving your City doesn't mean you wear ablindfold, loving your City means working to make it a better place. Team Cornwall, Choose Cornwall, The Chamber and other organizations work diligently topromote this City in a positive light. One of the main objectives of economic development is to bring more jobs to our City, and hopefully better paying jobs too.In addition to economic development, quality of life is important too. I am pleased with the investments made in recent years to infrastructure such as the BensonCentre. I am optimistic that City Council will have the vision to invest in Arts and Culture too based on the findings of the Culture Plan. Of course there is more toloving your City than just promoting it, or investments in infrastructure. Cornwall like other cities faces serious and complex issues including poverty and literacy.Loving your City also means participating, volunteering, and helping make this community a better, safer, and more enjoyable place. There are a lot of non-profitgroups that volunteer tirelessly to do just that. Organizations such as the Agape, Tri County Literacy Council, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, The Boys and Girls Club,Baldwin House, and the list goes on and on. There are many ways to Love Cornwall, and loving Cornwall is not just a motto, it is a way of life. I would like to saykudos and thank you to those who promote our City, and those who roll up their sleeves and volunteer to make our community a better place.

A man told me that if it were not for hisgrandfather coming back from the war of 1812,that he wouldn’t be standing there next to metoday. I’m sure many of us watching orparticipating in the Remembrance Dayfestivities wouldn’t be here if it wasn't forthe heroes who had risked their lives inhorrid and terrifying conditions for what

they believed in.

Today I wore a poppy and was one of many civilians who came topay their respects at Cornwall’s’ cenotaph. The ceremony wasbeautiful, the words touching, and the solders professional.Wreaths were laid from many individuals and groups. The wreaththat stood out the most was the one made by 17th Cornwall GirlGuides which was laid before the parade even began.

From the very beginning two gentlemen stood in their kilts at thefront, upon the cenotaph landing. When the ceremonies were finished,they were finally given permission to move. I noticed a group of schoolkids, the shock on their faces as what they thought were statuessuddenly moved down the stairs with a robotic gait.

After the first ceremony, there was a second parade held at thememorial place for 1812, at the location of the Battle of Chrysler Farm.The excitement was like a blanket wrapping us all up in adrenalin,

knowing that the prime minister was due to show. And then he did, pulling up ina black car with Canadian flags. There were guards everywhere.The prime minister inspected the troops and recited a piece about the Battle ofCryslers Farm. The troops of Cornwall and area army were informed that they

Wherever I may roamby April Lea Chaffee Remembrance Day in Cornwall - A day to remember.

would now be called Queens own SD&G Highlanders and that the queenwill officially become their Honorary Colonel and Chief.

From the talk after the ceremony, the army gents seemed very excitedabout this change. They claimed, “It’s a

great honourthat isn’t ascommon here inCanada as it is inthe UK.” Cpl.Stephen Vatcherstated later in theevening to me.

A special salutegoes to Cpl.David Boulangerwho spent hisentire birthdayserving hiscountry, andstanding in therain. Later thatevening at the

armories, his threeyear old daughtercame to wish him ahappy birthday,which made hisday.

As per tradition,later that evening,the gentlemenwho served ourcountry made theirway to NAVCanada Trainingand Conference

Centre for drinks before heading to the legion to dancewith the senior ladies.

Congrats boys on your success and I hope the rest of your night went well.RIP to the fallen soldiers who served our country bravely.

Hi to all you beautiful and smartpeople of Cornwall. Welcome toanother week with me, PositivelyMarlene. I hope you all are gettingyourselves ready for more of thiscold season with Novemberwinds and storms. It certainlywas a doozy of a wind-storm lastweek. I hope you didn't have toomuch damage where you live.

This past week has been veryexciting for me. First of all, Ihelped with doing a Google 360

Virtual Tour with my partnerJohn Lister at the Port

Theatre. This is where a business is tied inwith Google Street View, giving a "Virtual Tour" ofthe place. You, the viewer, get to walk in and areable to look around from top to bottom. I love theold Port Theater and I am so very happy that it wassaved from demolition and is still in use to this veryday, after 75 years. Up to date Movies and LivePerformances are held there throughout the year.This and many other virtual tours of Cornwallbusinesses can be seen atwww.360virtual.net/portfolio.htm

The next exciting thing that happened to me thisweek was...I BECAME A GRANDMOTHER AGAIN to a7 lb. 3 oz. baby boy, named Odin John! He is 20inches tall and has such a sweet, little face, perfectlymade for kissing. This is the first of my three sons tohave a child. Making it very exciting for me and therest of our family.Positively Marleneby Marlene Baker

I am also excited and I'm involved in the upcoming Welcome Wagon's BridalShow being held at the Civic Complex this Monday evening at 7 p.m. ComeOne, Come All to see the Newest in Bridal dresses and accessories, along withthe many beautiful and colourful bridesmaids and Mother-of-the-bride outfitsthat will blow you away. Make sure to register for your spot at the BridalFashion Show. You won't be disappointed, I promise.

I do hope each and every one of you have been "Paying It Forward." Even insome small way - it helps someone else less fortunate then yourselves. Pleasedonate some money or your time, to the many places here in Cornwall thatcould use your help at this time of year: The Agape Centre and the SalvationArmy are always happy to welcome volunteers. Thank you.

Tip of the week: Make sure to get your winter boots ready for the snow that iscoming, by using a bit of olive oil on a rag. Rub it all over yourboots, especially around the sole, heel and stitched areas. Use

a crayon or a lead pencil onthe zippers to help with the"up and down" action.Make sure that the heels aresecure and are safe andready for you to go out intothe snowy and icyconditions. Brrrr it's coldoutside.

Beauty is what you feelabout yourself... Not aboutwhat you see in the mirror.

Until next week...Smile andthe world will Smile alongwith you.

Top 4 Ways to HelpSell Your Home in the Winter Time I don’t want to admit it either but whether welike it or not the snow is coming and winter is onits way. What does this mean for the real estatemarket? Well if you live close to a ski hill yourmarket is probably booming but alas, we live in

the Seaway Valley so things tend to slow down a little.

Now by no means does this suggest that you should not sell your home inthe winter months it simply means you will need to add a few strategies toyour current plan of attack.Here are 4 tips to help sell your home in the winter time before the onedown the street:

1. CLEAR THE ICE AND SNOWThere is nothing worse than pulling up to a house with clients and having totrek through knee high snow to get to the front door. Than to make things morefun having to hang on to rail as if your life depended on it as you climb the icystairs.

Keep driveways and walk ways clear of snow at all times and salt the icy areas toget rid of ice or at the very least make it less deadly. These serves two purposes,first it helps set the tone with buyers, a clean driveway and walkway is a greatstart to a showing. Secondly it looks good when buyers drive by your propertyand look at the house, it shows owner pride.

2. PUT YOUR LIGHTS ON TIMERSIs it just me or is it dark at 4:30pm? Depressing sometimes but imagine what itlooks like to buyers. They pull up to your house expecting to see this great homethey found online and instead they find themselves looking into a black hole.

Put your exterior lights on timers to ensure they are on nice and early especiallyif you have accent lighting. It looks beautiful when it is softly snowing out andallows buyers to get a good look at the exterior of the home.

3. TURN UP THE HEATThere is nothing better than coming into a showing with clients from the cold and thehouse is nice and toasty except maybe coming into a toasty warm house that has hotchocolate set up for us (this might be tip number 5).

Realty Checkwith Troy Vaillancourt

I know everyone is trying to save money where they can but when selling makesure the home is warm and not cold and damp. Have a gas fireplace? Turn it on.If the buyer can picture themselves curling up on the couch to have a nap andwarming up by the fire, that’s definitely a good sign.

4. MAKE YOUR HOME FESTIVEWinter fun also means holiday seasons so decorate your home according to yourown beliefs. Christmas decorations always create a nice ambiance and a nicelydecorated home always shows well and allows people to imagine what theirhome would look like during the holidays. If Hanukkah is more your style, thendecorating for the festival of lights is a fantastic way to bring out the warmth andvibrancy of a home.There is no question things slow down during the winter time but with lesspeople selling their home it could be the perfect time to put yours up for sale.Less inventory means more buyers and possibly a better price for you.

I thought that we were the only ones, but since talking toother dog owners, I have found that this fall has beenparticularly bad for ticks. Ticks on my dog. Bloated ticks onthe floor. Ticks on me! I don’t remember this being such aproblem a year ago. I have, as a result, avoided myfavourite dog walking place for the past three weeks.

This morning, since we had a fairly solid frost, I felt secure inventuring out again. I noticed changes in the forest since my last visit, and now mostplants are various shades of brown. There was a heavy layer of frost on all thebushes and trees. I was full of thoughts of another year gone by, of another summercompleted, and of snow to come. I was suddenly awe-struck by the scene beforeme: the sun shining through a patch of dead goldenrods, showing me a million

sparkles the colours of the rainbow! Sometimes you just have to be there to really seeit, and words are inadequate. Sometimes nature can be very tough, and cruel.

There is something humbling about nature at its finest, or worst, depending uponhow you look at it. Camping in a downpour, paddling against a fierce wind, slappingmosquitos who are landing by the dozen on bare skin, coaxing a cooking fire alongwhen you are very hungry, are all things that make us really appreciate what weaccomplish when living, even for a few days, outside. Food tastes better, sleep comeseasily due to extreme fatigue, and later on you can have a laugh about how awful itwas, while planning your next trip!

Maybe it’s the people who join us for outdoor adventures. Maybe it’s the anticipationof yet another unique experience, maybe it’s just the appeal of a total change of scenefrom the walls of home. I’m not sure. But I do know that there are a few outdoor plansin the works for this fall and winter, and that next spring we will be again looking atmaps and discussing what new places we can discover.

Remembrance Day Celebration at Bishop Macdonell Catholic School By John Lucio

All students from the school gathered in the gymnasium to celebrate this day in memory offormer Canadian servicemen. The laying of the wreaths made by students of each class tookplace at front while music played all around. The pupils, attentive and respectful of this event,exhibited the importance of the ceremony not only by being present but, more profoundly,through their participation. In singing, in understanding the significance of wearing poppies as a

way of remembering thosewho gave the ultimatesacrifice for our freedom, inthe Recitation of “In FlandersField”, in prayers, and in themeaning of the Last Post andthe playing of “The Last Post,“Reveille” and our “NationalAnthem” followed by the

closing prayer.


I just love this recipe! In only 10 minutes, you willhave made enough pizza dough for 4 - 10" pizzas. Patout the dough into a ball. Cut the dough intoquarters. I spray a little no-stick spray inside 4medium size ziploc bags, this keeps the dough fromsticking to the plastic bag. Then just place each pieceof dough into a sprayed ziploc bag. You can use thepizza dough right away or place each bag into yourfridge for up to 2 days. I think the pizza dough islighter if you allow it to sit in your fridge for the 24hours. I made my own pizza sauce in just a fewminutes, with way more flavour than canned store-

bought pizza sauce.

INGREDIENTS:4 cups of unbleached all-purpose flour (you can use half whole wheat and half all-purpose flour if you wish)3/4 cup good quality, grated Parmesan cheese (Try Sharyn's Pantrys' grated Parmesan cheese for superb flavour with no saltiness.It is always kept refrigerated.)1- 1/2 rounded tsp. instant breadmachine yeast (Use Sharyn's Pantrys' yeast forquality and freshness and half the price of a tin of store-bought yeast! And it isALWAYS refrigerated!)1/2 tsp. fine salt2 cups of cold tap water1/4 cup good quality olive oil

METHOD:-In a large bowl, combine the flour, grated Parmesan cheese, instant yeast and salttogether. I use a whisk to ensure everything is combined evenly.-Stir in the cold water and olive oil.-Use a wooden spoon to mix the wet and dry ingredients together.-Turn out the dough onto your counter top. Begin to knead the dough. You will findthat you will probably add in about 1/2 cup more flour as you knead the dough. -Knead the dough for 5 minutes. Then shape it into a ball and cut it into quarters,just like a big X.-You can start making your pizza right away or place each quarter of the pizzadough into a ziploc bag that you spray no-stick spray inside first to prevent thedough from sticking.-Just place the bags of dough into your fridge for up to 2 days. After one day in thefridge you can freeze the bags of dough for up to 3 months before using.

TO MAKE YOUR PIZZA:-Using a pizza stone will ensure that your bottom crust of your pizza is nicelybrowned and crisp, not soggy. We carry these at my store, Sharyn's Pantry. Very

reasonably priced too!-I like to use semolina flour to stop the pizza from sticking. It is far better than cornmeal whichis gritty. The semolina is a much finer grain. You won't even know it was there. We carry thisat my store. It is also used in pasta making.-Sprinkle your pizza paddle or cookie sheet generously with some semolina. This will allow thepizza to slide off onto your hot pizza stone when you bake it. Or if you don't have a pizza stone,your pizza will not stick on your baking sheet if you generously sprinkle it first with thesemolina.-Pat out one of the bagfuls of pizza dough onto the cookie sheet or pizza paddle.-If you are using a pizza stone, you must always place it on the lowest rack of your cold,unheated oven. Once it is in your oven, set the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.-While your oven is heating, assemble your pizza.-I smear a little olive oil over the patted out pizza dough. Shake on a little garlic powder andrubbed oregano and basil over top.-Generously spread on your pizza sauce.(My recipe for homemade pizza sauce will follow.)Then top with your favourite toppings, ending with mozzarella cheese.-Once your oven has reached the 450 degree F. mark, carefully sprinkle some semolina all overyour hot pizza stone in your oven. Because it is so hot it will smoke but don't worry.-Then gently but quickly, slide off your pizza from the cookie sheet or pizza paddle onto the hotpizza stone.-(If you don't have a pizza stone, just bake your pizza right on your baking sheet. Ask Santa togive you a pizza stone for Christmas, you will just love it!)-Bake the pizza for exactly 15 minutes for a perfectly baked pizza. Slice up and ENJOY!

Why Can’t We Take Our Own Advice?

Human beings, in general, are smart butwhen it comes to matters of the heart,we might as well throw any sense ofrationality right out the window. Wegive those closest to us the absolutebest advice, coming up with mature,

well-worded guidance but when weeventually find ourselves in those same shoes, anything we ever saidmight as well be shot to hell.

It usually happens when you’re involved with someone who isn’tgiving you all you deserve. Ultimately, you might cry a lot or spendyour days wondering where your relationship is heading (most likelyin the wrong direction). It’s always tough because your mind KNOWSthe answers, you know what SHOULD be done, but you just can’tbring yourself to do it. Most of the time, the thing you need to do iswalk away.

But walking away and leaving behind a relationship you’ve workedso hard to build is no easy feat. Leaving a person you really careabout, maybe even love, is never simple. It will probably take a fewtries to get it right but in the end you need to know it’s the rightthing to do if you aren’t being treated the way you know you shouldbe. If your gut is telling you it’s time to move on, your gut is not lying.

We stay stuck is situations that we never thought we’d be in becausewe fall victim to the games, the back and forth, the rollercoaster rideswe can’t get off. But it’s really not fair that you’re being kept on theride when you’ve continually tried to get off and make somethingmore of it, make it better. Whether it’s a relationship you’ve been infor years or someone who just won’t commit to you at all, you needto know that you deserve more than mind games and the unknown.You deserve to be loved and treated well, treated fair, treated nicely.

You already know this though. You’ve heard it all before and youeven tell it to yourself almost daily. But somewhere along the way,the lines get blurred and it’s as if our brains say one thing and ourdisagreeing hearts, knowing it’s wrong, do the complete opposite.We frustrate ourselves because we know what to do, but we justcan’t heed our own counsel.

So why can’t we take our own advice? It’s ‘cause we’re scared. Scaredof the unknown. Scared to do the right thing but regret it later. We

don’t want to miss out and we don’t want to lose what we have, even though weknow it might be for the best. We know we deserve more but that doesn’t makewalking away easier. We don’t want to turn our backs on that one person whowe think knows us best. We know we will cry and we don’t want to lose the onlyperson who we want there to dry our tears.

One day, you’ll do it though. You’ll listento your brain over your heart and youwill know you’re doing the right thing. Itmight be hard and every muscle in yourbody might want to turn back, but themoment you take your own advice,you’ll feel stronger. You will feelempowered. You might regret it too andyou might even feel like shit, buteventually you will know you did theright thing. You’ll know your worth andyou’ll be stronger for the next timearound. Just remember that everyonewill be giving you advice for your wholelife, but in the end the most importantopinion is your own. Don’t let it gounnoticed.

LE COIN FRANCOLe gars de Québec au théâtre de L’Amalgame

À entendre les gens, les récents scandales de corruption et de « petitepolitique » dévoilés au Québec sont comme si rien de tout cela n’avait existéauparavant.

Pourtant, en 1985, l’auteur québécois Michel Tremblay adaptait une pièce russede la fin du XIX Ième siècle qui décrivait une corruption qui n’avait rien àenvier à celle présente de nos jours.

La pièce qui en résulta est « Le gars de Québec ». Tremblay situe l’action desa pièce au début des années cinquante, à l’époque de Duplessis. Dans cettepièce, Sainte-Rose de Lima est sans doute le seul village « rouge » du Québec.Or, on annonce l'arrivée d'un haut fonctionnaire, émissaire spécial dugouvernement « bleu ».

La panique s'empare des habitants. Ce haut fonctionnaire vient sans douteenquêter sur la corruption présente parmi les notables du village, non pas queDuplessis soit contre la corruption, loin de là, mais, aux dires du maire enplace, pour fomenter une vengeance contre ces notables.

Ces derniers penseront alors à soudoyer ce fonctionnaire au point qu’il puissechanger ses allégeances.

Il faudra venir voir la pièce pour connaître l’issue de cette approchestratégique…

CORNWALL COLTS ALL TIME ALL-STARS

Since the last time this space was dedicated to theCornwall Royals All Stars based on their NHLexperience, I figured it would be fun to take a lookat the Colts (who continue to have an impact onpro hockey).

The CJHL (now CCHL) is usually a step betweenbantam/midget hockey to either Major Junior or NCAA and then theprofessional ranks.

Starting in goal, Yann Danis currently plays for the AHL’s AdirondackPhantoms. Danis has played in 53 NHL games with four teams over severalseasons. Danis has had stops with Montreal, the New York Islanders, NewJersey Devils and Edmonton Oilers. He’s been a back up for Jose Theodore,Rick DiPietro, Martin Brodeur and Nikolai Khabibulin. Danis played forBrown University prior to embarking on his pro career.

On defence, the most successful former Colts player is Cam Barker. Hehasn’t played his last game in the NHL (the Canucks system). Barker spenthalf a season with the Colts as a 15 year prior to moving on to a stellar WHLcareer. He has 96 points over 8 seasons in the NHL with Chicago,Minnesota, Edmonton and Vancouver.

Chad Kilger may hold the record for most games, goals, assists and pointsin the NHL by a former Colts player for a long time. Kilger was one of theoriginal Colts in 1992-93 as a 15 year old before going on to a successfulOHL career and then onto the NHL as a 4th overall draft pick. Kilger hadEYE ON SPORTSby David Murphy

218 points (including 107 goals) in 714 games with various teamsincluding Anaheim, Winnipeg/Phoenix, Chicago, Edmonton, Montrealand Toronto.

Jesse Winchester is carving out a nice NHL career. The hockey pride ofLong Sault and former Colts All Star is currently playing for the FloridaPanthers on his way to most production season with 7 points in the team’sfirst 16 games. Prior to this season, Winchester spent four seasons (plusone game in another) with the Ottawa Senators. As of this article,Winchester has picked up 59 points in 249 games.

Rounding out the former Colts in the NHL is Kent McDonell. The Cornwallnative played 32 games for the Columbus Blue Jackets over two seasons.McDonell, like Kilger and Barker played for the Colts as a 15 year oldbefore advancing to the Major Junior Hockey ranks. McDonell, who alsowon Silver with Team Canada at the 1999 World Junior Hockeytournament, picked up 3 points with the Blue Jackets. He’s still playing inSweden.

There are several more former Colts who continue to add points and winsto their pro hockey career, some in Europe and some in North America.And thanks to the team still sending players to the NCAA ranks, there willColts alumni in pro hockey for a long time to come.


After the busiest week, I was given an opportunity to goaway on a girls weekend with some of my closestKingston friends. They planned it several months agoand when one couldn’t make it and I was asked to jointhem for a weekend in Montreal to see Bon Jovi andexplore downtown Montreal and le vieux Montréal.

As a long time Bon Jovi fan, it was an opportunity Icouldn’t turn down, and travelling with these savvysassy ladies would be a treat. So as I wrapped DonorNight in Cornwall, I headed back to Kingston to pack

for the excursion. The next morning, my friends pulledup and we set out to Montreal. They have been friends since their childrenwere very young, all being involved in their school councils and living in closeproximity. I met them through one of my closest high school friends and Ihave shared many adventures with them, from house parties, to concerts tobirthday extravaganzas. This trip gave me a chance to get to know thembetter.

We talked all the way there, and I got to know more about their families, theirroots and even their dreams. We all shared and had a great time.They arranged for us to rent a condo for the weekend, so we were able to havemost of the amenities from home and all stay together. We were in thedowntown area and the trip to see Bon Jovi meant I had to ride the Metro forthe first time, and now I can say many times; as we got weekend passes.We ended up walking much further than anticipated when we missed theMetro, but after some directions; we found our way.

This being my first Metro or subway, I was uneasy. I’m sure my death grip onthe pole was amusing to them. I don’t particularly like elevators and goingsideways in jerky motion was no better, but I was a trooper and made it.The Metro brought us right to the Bell Centre and the place was packed.We had great seats and just after 8:00pm John Bon Jovi and his band took thestage. From the first note, the crowd was electrified. It was a mix of all agesand both male and female. Doesn’t matter how much time passes; John keepsgetting better with age. His voice still enthralls us and he is not only a giftedsinger but a musician as well. Some of his members were absent and this washis last concert of his North American Tour, before he heads off to Japan andAustralia.

Bon Jovi delivered 3 hours of music, much of it from his Lost Highway, but the well-knowncrowd favorites were covered too. They gave us 4 encores and the crowd wasphenomenal. For my first concert in Montreal, I was impressed with the audienceinteraction. They sang along to every song, followed his gestures and the entire night wasspectacular. We returned home, a little cold, had an extremely steep hill to climb up to getback to the condo we were staying at, and stayed up talking about the concert andgetting to know each other.

The next morning after 6 women get ready, so it took a little while, we sat down to ahomemade breakfast, cause these ladies can cook, talked some more and then headedoff to explore downtown Montreal. I bundled up in my coat and hoody, didn’t care aboutappearances, just warmth. Being fluently bilingual, it was nice to take out my Frenchevery now and then. We split up with a rendez-vous point, stopped for a bowl of soup towarm us up and then back to the condo for a bit. Overall we spent equal time exploringand chatting.

When Sunday rolled around we gathered for breakfast one more time, packed everythingup and headed back home. The volume in the car on the way back was a lot moresubdued, but one thing was certain, this was good for all of us. We are all at differentplaces in life, some of us have kids in college, some are in their final year and exploringcollege and university options and others have younger ones. Two of the ladies on the triphave 4 kids, so working around schedules can be tough. Most are married, but we all loveour kids and families very much. I am very lucky that I got to know these wonderful ladiesand consider them my friends. They definitely helped me transition from one city toanother, they are supportive and fun to be with. The culinary treats were awesome, theconcert was amazing, but it is the food of the soul that made this trip so special.

SEEKER SNIPPETS • SEEKER SNIPPETS Olsson Speaks to CCVS Students about the Dangers of Hate

A woman who has seen the darkest side ofmankind spoke to students at CornwallCollegiate and Vocational School (CCVS)Tuesday about the dangers of hate.

Holocaust survivor Dr. Eva Olssonaddressed a crowded cafetorium at CCVSabout the pain the “Nazi Bullies” inflictedon the Jewish people. A prisoner of theAuschwitz and Bergen-Belsenconcentration camps, she and her sisterwere the only members of her immediatefamily to survive the ordeal.

Olsson was invited to CCVS followingdisturbing incidents in which swastikaswere carved into bathroom walls and stalls

at the high school, a symbol that was particularly distasteful forOlsson. The 89 year-old warned students about the dangers ofhate and hateful symbols and the need to remember the pain theycan lead to.

“Every day is Remembrance Day for me,” she said. “One young girlonce said to me: “I see the pain in your face, why don’t you justtry to forget about it?” I said that without memories I would be anempty soul and I don’t want to forget. I was given a gift of life andwhen you have a gift of life you have to share it.

“I am not here to judge. I am only here to bring awareness to youof the power of hate.”

In May 1944, Olsson and her family were removed from their two-bedroom apartment in their village in Hungary and sent toAuschwitz on a cattle car filled with more than 100 people instifling conditions. The family of Hasidic Jews arrived at the camprun by the notorious Dr. Josef Mengele. She was separated fromher mother, who later died in Auschwitz, and her father, who diedof starvation in a work camp at Bergen-Belsen.

During her struggle, she witnessed women and children forcedinto gas chambers at Auschwitz. Later in her ordeal, she wastransferred to Bergen-Belsen where she contracted typhoid fever.She was eventually rescued by Allied troops, who liberated thecamp in April 1945.

The grandmother also spoke about Nazi Bullies in other countries.She showed slides of Nazi sympathizers such as Arrow Crossmembers in Hungary shooting Jewish victims, or Romaniansympathizers who put victims in sealed boxcars on “death trains”which simply went back and forth on a track till the stiflingconditions killed those inside.

She also stressed that bullies such as the Nazis could never havesucceeded without bystanders who let them perform their evil deeds. Shenoted the compassion of the Danish people, who did not stand by. Morethan 7,200 Jewish people were smuggled out of Denmark to Sweden onDanish fishing boats.

She asked that students model compassion and respect in their lives andto never be a bystander when wrong occurs.

During the event, CCVS Principal Trish Brown issued a public apology forthe swastika incidents at the school and urged the school community tohelp counter the problem.

“We are saddened and truly sorry that these incidents have occurredwithin our school and more importantly that it’s (the swastika’s) use stilloccurs in our society,” said Brown. “It is our hope that as a schoolcommunity we will raise awareness and care about this important issue.”

Students who heard Olsson said they were moved by the presentation.

Grade 11 student Ivan Benedict said that while he had previously learnedabout the Holocaust it was different hearing from someone who hadactually experienced it.

“When you hear about it from a survivor it moves you,” said Benedict. “Itwas kind of tough.”

He wishes that Olsson’s address will convince people who are drawing thegraffiti at the school to stop.

“I hope so,” he said. “People who are responsible for these swastikas beingdrawn don’t realize what it means and how harmful it really is.”

Smooth jazz and cool piano stylings will be a musical treatIt’s going to be a cool evening full of sweet musical stylings when jazz pianist JessePeters performs during this season’s second offering presented by the Cornwall ConcertSeries.

There are many words to describe the artist who has garnered rave reviews fromacclaimed artists, such as Canada’s own Diana Krall. He draws upon the influences ofFrank Sinatra and Tony Bennett, yet has an indefinable quality that attracts all ages ofjazz fans. Without seeing him in concert, just by listening to the musical appetizers onhis website, it’s difficult to sit still and not succumb to his ear-catching croonings.

“Jesse is hip, smooth and cool,” said Scott Peterson, series president. “He’s one ofCanada’s most recognizable jazz pianists, and we’re delighted to have been able to bookhim for this season as he’s highly in-demand.

“We’re sure that not only will our long-standing fans of the series welcome him, but thathis performance will draw new supporters.”

In the world of jazz, so it goes, there are performers who play for themselves, and thosewho play for their audiences: Jesse Peters falls into the latter. His soul is bared at eachperformance and he has a natural ability to convey true emotion with his voice.

Peters will entice the audience when he entertains with his trio atAultsville Theatre on Nov. 16 at 8 p.m.

Peterson is absolutely delighted with the results thus far of this year’s Cornwall ConcertSeries season. Audiences were captivated with the Fung-Chiu Duo who opened the seasonlast month, and the performers were equally mesmerized with the crowd who stayedlong after to chat and visit with them.

“We couldn’t have been more pleased with the audience response,” he said. “We’rehopeful that many will return for Jesse’s performance and that they’ll tell their friendswhat a fabulous time they had, too.”

Peterson added that upcoming performances also Carnegie Hall alumni, Ken Lavigne, onApril 5; and the phenomenal Quartetto Gelato on May 31. All performances begin at 8 p.m. at Aultsville Theatre and are $25.

Tickets may be purchased in-person (cash or cheque) at these locations: TD CanadaTrust, Cornwall Square, Caisse populaire de Cornwall, 840 Pitt St. and 201 Montreal Road;and at the Cornwall and the Counties Tourism, 11 Water St. West. Individual tickets maybe purchased at the door based on availability. For further information, visitwww.cornwallconcertseries.com
