Community celebrates international student CORNWALL, Ontario – For the past 10 months, Denis and Tina St. Martin have been host parents to Italian student Domenica Di Lascio.

Di Lascio completed her Grade 12 year at St. Lawrence Secondary School and her host parents wanted to do their part to celebrate her graduation.

Due to COVID-19, no in person graduation ceremonies were possible, so instead, they decided to celebrate Di Lascio’s accomplishment with a parade through the neighbourhood.

Tina St. Martin explained that around 50 people in their cars or on their front lawns drove with Di Lascio through the neighbour-

hood to celebrate her accomplisment.

“It has been the most exciting experience of my life,” said Di Lascio in an interview with Seaway News. “I found friends and family and everyone was really nice.”

Now reaching the end of her stay in Canada, Di Lascio is preparing to return to Italy and her hometown of Lauria.

She said that she would then be completing her Grade 13 in Italy, and currently hopes to become a doctor one day.

“I always really enjoyed helping others,” she said. “By my host dad makes fun of me because I don’t like blood,” she joked.

Di Lascio said that she really appreciates that experiences that her house parents have given her and all of her neighbours for showing her support.

CORNWALL, Ontario – Taking trips to the hospital, while essential, can be daunting at the best of times and if you are a senior or a person with mobility issues, it can become nearly impossible.

Patients who have little other choice for transportation beyond public transit or taxi cabs can soon see their costs pile up and this can be especially true in rural areas.

Carefor is helping their clients travel to medical appointments through their driver program.

Over the past year, Carefor Drivers has approximately 500 customers in Eastern Ontario.

Greg Hodsdon, one of the paid drivers of the program has been driving with Carefor in the Cornwall and SD&G area for over eight years.

“I’m not much of a desk person,” said Hodsdon. “I would see the vehicles out in the community and it looked like a fun job.”

For a limited time, low-income seniors can receive discounted frozen meals from Meals on Wheels.

Hodsdon explained that meeting people and brightening their days was a highlight of his job.

“You can make a difference in people’s lives and that feels really good,” he said.

Hodsdon said that one of his clients became like a second grandmother to him and his family.

“We became really close,” said Hodsdon.

“We did the Kidney Walk together and she bought gifts for my son. She would make cookied for us and became a part of the family.”

Carefor’s Transportation program began in 2012 and as of 2020, Eastern Ontario had around 100 volunteers supporting the program.

Carefor’s Transportation service is a more affordable choice when compared to other for-profit options. Typically, Carefor charges between $0.42-$0.47 per km.

Carefor relies on donations to support programs, like their transportation service.

South Glengarry economy reopening NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.com

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – The Township of South Glengarry is pursuing several initiatives to promote the local economic as businesses re-open after the COVID-19 lockdown.

“We are here and committed to supporting our local businesses and keeping our residents safe,” stated Meagan Bingley, acting Economic Development and Tourism Coordinator.

One sector that South Glengarry Economic Development is working to support are small business owners in the restaurant sector.

“We have been working closely with local restaurant owners over the past week, and it has been amazing to see the resiliency within our small business community,” said Bingley.

“Restaurants have quickly navigated the process of extending their existing patios; or creating new patios to help bring a sense of normalcy back to our community.”

The province of Ontario is now allowing

restaurants to re-open outside service, and to support that initiative, they are also allowing restaurants to temporarily extend their patios.

Other economic development initiatives that the Township is rolling out including a Business Reopening Toolkit which is available on the Township of South Glengarry website.

The tool kit includes things like a maximum occupancy calculator, guidebooks, signs and more.

The Township is also a part of the Digital Main Street ShopHERE program, which is a program to support businesses in the creation of e-commerce websites.

“The pandemic has shown the importance of bringing e-commerce sites to business owners. It is great to see the government investing in initiatives and helping businesses connect with their clientele.” said Bingley.

“We our proud of our business community; and look forward to supporting them during this difficult time. Please remember to shop and support local.”

Province releases COVID workplace safety guide NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.com

ONTARIO – The province of Ontario has released a guide on Tuesday, June 16 to help workplaces re-open safely amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“This new guide will help each employer create a safety plan that is right for their own unique workplace,” said MPP Jim McDonell.

“It includes important information on the use of face coverings, as well as applying controls in the workplace, from most important to least important. It also includes information on what personal protective equipment may be needed for workers.”

McDonell explained that the downloadable guide will help guide business owners and companies through the following strategies: Identify the risks for transmitting the virus through person-to-person contact and actions such as touching faces with hands that have been contaminated by contact with surfaces and objects; Determine what controls are needed to

help mitigate risk, such as engineering controls like the installation of plexiglass to separate workers from customers, administrative controls limiting the number of workers in a space at one time, and personal protective equipment including face and eye protection; Create a workplace safety plan based on the identified risks and appropriate controls specific to the employer’s workplace; Implement the plan in the workplace, and review and update it as the situation evolves; and Communicate the actions being taken to workers and other people entering the workplace.

“As more regions enter Stage 2 of reopening, we want to give businesses the tools and resources they need to adapt and succeed in this new environment,” said Premier Doug Ford. “By providing this guide on COVID-19 workplace safety, employers, employees, and customers can have the confidence they need to resume business as usual with the right health and safety measures in place.”

Petition asks to change the name of Dundas County NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.com

DUNDAS, Ontario – A petition on Change. org is asking that the name of Dundas County be changed.

Split between the municipalities of North and South Dundas, Dundas County was given it’s name in 1792 in honour of Lord Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville (1742-1811).

Dundas, the man, was a Tory politician and lawyer. There are several monuments and places that bear his name including a statue of him in St. Andrew’s Square in Edinburgh, Scotland, Dundas Island in BC, Dundas St. in Toronto and of course the County of Dundas.

At issue is Dundas’ record on slavery. As a lawyer, Dundas represented Joseph Knight in a case against John Wedderburn. Wedderburn claimed Knight, a runaway slave, as his property. Dundas’ arguments in the case lead to a decision that slavery was illegal in Scotland.

During his time as a politician, Great Britain was in the process of abolishing the slave trade, something that Dundas obstructed or pushed to be delayed on more than one occasion.

Dundas pushed for an amendment in Britain’s slavery abolition bill which lead to the “gradual” end of slavery over a 15 year period. This lead to more than 500,000 people being kidnapped from Africa and sold into slavery.

After George Floyd was killed in the United States when a Minneapolis Police officer knelt on his neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds, Dundas’ legacy became problematic.

There have been calls for his statue to be removed from St. Andrew’s Square in Edinburgh and Toronto Mayor John Tory has commissioned a working group to look at the issue of his name on one of Toronto’s most

important downtown venues.

“Aside from his Scottish Heritage, he is in no way representative of the people of Ontario,” reads a statement on the petition from organizer Virginia Dipierro. “We call on our S_&G council to take this as an urgent necessity, not a request. We cannot continue to move forward as a community with a name that denotes hatred and racism. We just cannot.”

Speaking with Seaway News the Mayor of North Dundas, Tony Fraser, and the Mayor of South Dundas, Steven Byvelds commented on the petition.

“Dundas County has been around for a long time, and changing names is not an easy thing,” said Byvelds. “The Mayor of Toronto is contending with the same thing right now.

Certainly what he was doing is not the right thing by today’s standards, and I don’t think it was right then.”

Mayor Fraser commented that the issue encompassed questions about the history of Canada and the nature of Canadian society.

“Our County is what it is because of the efforts of those who established it,” he said.

“I think these questions encompass the whole of Canada and it is more than one issue on social media. Do they want to change names for just changing the name or is it about changing the fabric of who we are.”

Fraser stated that going down such a path could open up a Pandora’s Box of issues.

Fraser also raised concerns that an online only petition could have signatories from outside of Dundas County and even outside of Canada and might not reflect the sentiment of those who live in North or South Dundas.

Dundas is not the only County dealing with this issue. Russell County, a part of the United Counties of Prescott-Russell is likewise dealing with the legacy of it’s namesake, Peter Russell, a slave owner.

Grab N’Go bags CPL’s new Grab N’ Go bags of pre-selected, themed materials will make its debut on-site as well. The bags can be checked out while picking up other items.

Available services Patrons may call the library for help on finding and reserving books rather than go online.

FRANK PREVOST SOUTH GLENGARRY

As Ontario begins to reopen the economy, business owners and residents of South Glengarry have needed to review their business operations and vacation plans in order to meet public safety guidelines as we move into the summer months. The Township of South Glengarry has many great opportunities to explore,

Business owners can now take advantage of the South Glengarry Business Reopening Toolkit to ensure their business can reopen within the proper guidelines set out by the province. The toolkit, located under the Doing Business section of the South Glengarry website, at www. southglengarry.com, provides downloadable resources including a guidebook, posters and signs, factsheets, checklists, a maximum occupancy calculator, webinars, personal protection equipment resources, as well as sector specific information to help your business prepare for reopening.

Council Meetings will continue to be held by remote, electronic participation and are accessible to view online through the Township website or can be watched

live through our Township of South Glengarry YouTube page.

Staff will be unavailable Wednesday, July 1st for Canada Day. While the office remains closed to the public, staff will continue to receive phone calls and email during regular hours again on Thursday, July 2nd. Garbage and recycling collection will be deferred by one day during that week as a result of the holiday.

Our community has worked strongly together over the past few weeks and we thank you for your continued patience and incredible support. While Canada Day celebrations will be celebrated at home this year, we ask residents to have a happy and safe holiday.

Take care, stay healthy and be well.

Support service clubs

8 - Wednesday, June 24, 2020

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

NICK SEEBRUCH nseebruch@seawaynews.com As more services and businesses re-open, I hope that we do not forget our service clubs.

Probably one of the most underrated or overlooked supports in our community in the modern day are the service clubs.

They, and the organizations that they support allow important institutions in our communities to survive.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected everyone, some have lost their jobs.

Others have had to cancel events, both of these developments have negatively affected the service clubs and the people and organizations that rely on them.

With less events, and less people earning money, there are less donations coming in for service clubs. This means that the clubs cannot make their usual community contributions.

Last year, the Kinsmen Club of Cornwall donated tens of thousands of dollars to the Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation (CCHF) so that they could buy new equipment to treat members of the Cornwall community. Their efforts have made a difference, and are especially poignant now during this global pandemic.

One important reason that the Kinsmen Club of Cornwall holds their weekly Bingo on YourTV is not just for the enjoyment of viewers. The money raised by that program goes to support initiatives in Cornwall. Through efforts to create a safe, socially distanced environment Kinsmen TV bingo is now back on the air every Tuesaday and Kinsmen President Robin McIntosh agrees the service club money they make is needed in our community.

What do clubs like Kinsmen and the Optimists use the money they raise for? The Optimists raise money to contribute to events like Sparky’s Toy Drive, the Kinettes hold events such as the Princess Ball for youth in Cornwall and more.

Last year, the Optimists bought robots that can be used as learning tools for local schools.

I am just using the Optimists Club as an example here, but there are many other service clubs that do important work in our community.

Service clubs also support organizations like Hospice, the Agapè Centre, and the St. Vincent de Paul Society; all of which are local institutions that help local people, during some of the most difficult times in their lives.

Speaking to a member of the board of directors for the St. Vincent de Paul Society last week, and they had concerns about how their organization would support their clients this year.

Will schools be able to hold their usual food drives around Christmas? Will the service clubs be able to fill that void? They don’t know.

We have seen amazing pushes since this pandemic began through gift cards and other programs that support local business, and this is great, but we cannot forget about our non-profits as well. As I’ve discussed, there are many local amenities that rely on our non-profit service clubs.

For those of you who might not know because you’ve never seen them in a red Kinsmen shirt or wearing an Optimists Club badge, these service club members are not spring chickens, but they have been a part of the Cornwall community their whole lives, and they have been serving these charitable causes their whole lives. Many of them are community leaders and we should not forget that they deserve our support to.

If you have frequented the Kinsmen Farmer’s Market, enjoyed Ribfest, or Food Fest, or any other non-profit event supported by a service club, consider offering them a donation this summer of either time or money. These events won’t be happening, but the needs that they service are still there and are in some cases more dire than they have been in the past.

Our community has to recover together, so let us not forget our local businesses, but also, let’s not forget our often unsung heroes, the service clubs.

Name of Dundas Dear Editor: During the time that the abolition of the slave trade (1807) or the abolition of slavery (1833) were debated in the British Parliament there were four MPs with the surname Dundas in the House of Commons: Henry, Lawrence, Charles and John. Lawrence owned slaves but if either of Charles or John consistently opposed slavery Dundas County and other streets and places named Dundas should be

rededicated to him. If neither of them opposed slavery, the county should be rededicated to Hugh Dundas a 13th century Scottish warrior who fought alongside William Wallace (Braveheart). If the county cannot be named after an abolitionist, a freedom fighter is the next best thing.

OPINION

CERB dilemma: To work or not to work Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

Back when the Canadian Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) program to help those who out of work because of the COVID19 virus was launched there was concern by some that it might be difficult to wean some recipients off the $2,000-a-month cheque, even when it was possible for them to return to the work force.

While not a major problem, some employers are finding it difficult to find help as the lockdown is lifted and it might be because it is easy to collect the $2,000 for doing nothing than to work at a job offering minimum wage or under $20 an hour.

A Toronto employment lawyer offered this example in a newspaper column: An employer has two positions to fill. Each pays $3,000 a month. The first person takes the job.

However, the second person wants just enough hours to earn $999 a month. The employer, desperate for help, agrees. And goes looking for another part-timer.

Because of the $1,000 CERB threshold, the part-timer qualifies for the $2,000 monthly CERB payment. He earns $3,000, the same as the guy working full-time. In fact, the full-timer is taking home less because of deductions.

THIS WEEK IN 1957 A West Front service station owner didn’t get what he wanted for expropriation of his Highway 2 property, now Second Street West, but what the Ontario Municipal Board approved was much better than the Ontario Hydro heavy-handed take-it-or-leave offer.

Hydro told Milton Matheson the best it would give for his service station, house and two adjoining parcels of land was $38,000.

Matheson wanted $80,000.

The case was put before an OMB hearing at the Counties Building with a Montreal law

firm arguing Matheson’s case against a team of Hydro lawyers.

The OMB ruled that Hydro owed Matheson $48,400 and ordered it to pick up the owner’s legal tab. ____________ On the night of June 23, 1957 a two-hour crime spree in the sleepy village of Maxville ended with a police officer firing three shots at a fleeing stolen vehicle.

Const. S. E. Fraser of the Ontario Provincial Police was checking a gas station while on routine patrol in the village when he surprised two men inside.

They fled the building and took off in a stolen vehicle. Fraser gave chase and managed to maneuver his patrol car so that it was blocking their path. As he stood outside the vehicle the two attempted to run him down. Fraser fired three shots at the car.

Later it was discovered a second car, taken from the home of Donald Munro, had been stolen.

Three days later the suspects were arrested, one in Cornwall and the other in Brockville.

All together, the suspects had broken into two service stations and made off with a cash box containing $500, stole two vehicles and attempted to injury a police officer.

Police believed the two were responsible for a series of break-ins and thefts from area service stations over the previous three weeks.

Nairne, killed in the battle of Crysler Farm; and Fraser, after explorer Simon Fraser. ... Pte. George Clark of Cornwall, a member of the Royal Canadian Regiment, was part of an honour guard for Prince Phillip who visited West Germany where Pte. Clark was stationed. ... Ald. Nick Kaneb said he was sick of the high handedness of Ontario Hydro and CNR. The alderman pointed to the lack of an overpass on Pitt Street over the new CNR rail-line. He said both Hydro and CNR promised the overpass would be built before the line opened. ... The $1.8 million expansion of Cornwall Collegiate was nearing completion. The new south wing would have 30 classrooms, four labs and a cafeteria. It was needed to accommodate soaring enrolment. ... Brookshell Motors carved out a 2-1 win over Power Project and took over first place in the North End Fastball League. Hal Millward and Doug Taillon, in relief, teamed up for the win. Losing pitcher Billy Quirk gave up three singles and struck out seven.

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

It was a dark and stormy night... (Really – it was). The generator’s tiny warning light of my 1962 VW Bug was filling the interior of the car with a blinding red light, making the worry wrinkles on my forehead stand out. I was passing through Detroit, Michigan, the heart of America’s ‘Mo-town’, where GM, Ford and Chrysler still reigned.

At the gas station I described my problem to the attendant who was absent-mindedly topping off the tank. His laconic, “Our mechanic will probably come in Monday morning...” offered little consolation.

“That won’t do me any good. I have to be back to work in Toronto by Monday morning.

That’s over 200 miles from here.” He indifferently muttered something as he continued to pump gas.

Another VW pulled up. The driver noticed that I was gazing disconsolately at the exposed rear-engine, as if I were examining a dead horse.

“Problem?” he asked. I repeated my tale of woe.

“You go see Gunther, down the next alley on the right.”

“But it’s nine o’clock.”

“He works real late.”

Off to see Gunther, warning light still blazing away. For the third time, I shared my tale of woe.

With his thick German accent, Gunther asked, “This car has driven how much kilometers?”

Since its odometer was in miles, I said, “Over a hundred thousand miles.”

“Aha! That many!” At that, he opened the hood, did something with a screw driver, popped the hood shut, then proudly announced, “Next time your folks vagen’ has gone that far, get someone to bend the generator clips again. Alles Gute. Wir wunschen gute Fahrt!”

Gunther must have apprenticed in Stuttgart or Hanover, then set up a business in the Black Forest. Only expertise can diagnose and solve.

The next time I was having car trouble was in 1968, driving home from Florida in my 1966 VW 1600 Variant (a car that looks like a small station wagon). As the gas station attendant was topping off the tank, I said, “She’s running a bit rough. Are you familiar with these? Any chance you could check it out?”

As the nozzle gurgled and clicked off, he seemed to be giving the car a thorough once over. “No problem!” With that he confidently strode to the front of the car, asking, “Can y’all release the hood?”

Yes, the Variant doesn’t look anything like a traditional VW, but its engine is definitely in the rear. Whatever the problem was, the mechanic from Georgia wasn’t going to find it under the front hood.

Next road trip problem: 2018, east of Portage la Prairie, Manitoba; 1995 VW Eurovan. We had pulled onto the shoulder of

the Trans-Canada to take a few pictures. Time to start the engine and hit the road again. The radio blared, the turn signal clicked monotonously, but no response from the engine.

It didn’t take long for the tow truck to arrive.

“Where do you want to go?” I could have said, “Vancouver”, but I resisted the urge to be a comedian. “I’ll leave it up to you.”

Off we went, past one car dealership, then another, then a Canadian Tire service centre.

Beyond the west end of town we turned onto a gravel road, then pulled into a modest garage. It was surrounded by almost a dozen assorted vehicles in need of attention.

I gave my account of the symptoms. The mechanic immediately prostrated himself, facing the van’s front bumper. He rolled over on his back and dug in his heels to inch himself a bit further under.

A moment later, he emerged, dusted himself off. “That’s it. Contact clip with starter came loose. No charge. You’re on your way.

Have a good trip.”

La CNS modifie son Programme de subventions aux projets communautaires liés à l’environnement

10 - Le mercredi 24 juin, 2020

- Cornwall Express - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LA CNS NATION SUD, Ontario - Le populaire Programme de subventions aux projets communautaires liés à l’environnement de la Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) encourage et soutient régulièrement les événements communautaires organisés dans le bassin versant de I’Office de protection de la nature de I’Est de I’Ontario, afin de promouvoir I’utilisation récréative de nos rivières, de protéger I’environnement ou de célébrer notre patrimoine naturel.

Depuis 2015, la CNS a accordé plus de 25 000 $, par le biais de son Programme de subventions, à des groupes communautaires et à des organismes sans but lucratif, aidant ainsi à organiser diverses collectes de fonds, des courses de rivière, des nettoyages communautaires, des foires environnementales et des concours de pêche.

La CNS a alloué 10 000 $ distribués par le biais du Programme de subventions en 2020, mais de nombreux événements

communautaires sont maintenant annulés en raison de la pandémie de COVID-19.

Pour aider les groupes communautaires et les organismes à but non lucratif de la région à accéder à ces fonds, la CNS a modifié les lignes directrices et les critères d’admissibilité du programme cette année afin d’inclure les initiatives communautaires de gérance de l’environnement suivantes : Plantation d’arbres et d’arbustes : • Financement jusqu’à 300 $ pour aider à planter un arbre indigène de gros calibre, ou plusieurs arbres ou arbustes en pot dans un espace public communautaire.

• Comprend également le soutien du personnel de la CNS pour les activités de plantation, y compris la préparation du plan du site et la sélection des espèces.

Jardins communautaires : • Financement jusqu’à 300 $ pour aider à créer ou à améliorer des jardins communautaires dans les espaces publics communautaires.

• Les candidats sont responsables

Les tarifs de Cornwall Electric augmentent PAR NICK SEEBRUCH, TRADUIRE PAR NICK SEEBRUCH CORNWALL (Ontario) - Cornwall Electric a annoncé qu’elle augmenterait ses tarifs de 2,95% le 1er juillet.

Cela représenterait une augmentation réelle de 3,95 $ par mois pour une personne utilisant 1 000 kWh par mois.

Jackie Baird, directrice régionale de Cornwall Electric, a expliqué que 80% du coût de la facture d’électricité d’un consommateur représente le coût de gros de l’électricité.

Cornwall Electric a un contrat avec HydroQuébec pour fournir de l’électricité à ses consommateurs.

Les 20% restants de la facture d’un consommateur servent à couvrir des dépenses telles que l’entretien.

Dans une déclaration aux médias, Cornwall Electric a suggéré que les consommateurs s’efforcent de conserver l’énergie pour réduire les coûts.

Baird a expliqué que l’augmentation de 2,95% était inférieure à l’augmentation potentiellement autorisée pour 2020-2021.

des travaux d’entretien à effectuer dans les jardins communautaires. « Bien que certains de nos événements annuels préférés de partenariat ne soient pas prévus cette année, l’ajout d’arbres ou de jardins communautaires est un projet d’amélioration de l’environnement sûr dont toute la communauté peut à la fois apprendre et bénéficier, et nous sommes heureux de soutenir ces projets », explique John Mesman, responsable des communications à la CNS. Les bénéficiaires devront suivre les lignes directrices les plus récentes en matière de santé publique et devront décrire les mesures prises pour protéger les personnes et gérer les risques liés à la COVID-19. Les activités proposées ne doivent pas être entreprises sous forme d’événements bénévoles communautaires.

Vous trouverez des informations sur le Programme de subventions aux projets communautaires liés à l’environnement de la CNS à l’adresse www.nation.on.ca/grants ou en appelant le 1-877-984-2948.

« Nous cherchons à recevoir des réponses de nos partenaires communautaires habituels et des gens se trouvant dans des endroits qui ont besoin d’arbres supplémentaires », ajoute M. Mesman. « Qu’il s’agisse d’un parc, d’un édifice communautaire, d’une bibliothèque ou d’une caserne de pompiers, nous espérons recevoir des informations sur les endroits où les arbres sont le plus nécessaires dans nos quartiers, afin de pouvoir aider à planter davantage d’arbres de plus grande taille dans nos collectivités. » Les candidatures sont acceptées toute l’année et sont examinées par le comité des communications de la CNS. Il est recommandé aux candidats de communiquer avec nous avant de présenter leur demande afin de s’assurer que les projets proposés sont admissibles et sûrs.

- Cornwall Express - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

:Chers parents, enseignantes, enseignants, membres de la direction, membres de la communauté, distingués invité(e)s, Patriotes, finissantes et finissants, bonjour! Justin sort! Nous sommes fiers que vous nous avez choisis pour prononcer le discours d’adieu pour

notre remise de diplômes... virtuelle. Ce discours est une double première pour La Citadelle : c’est le premier discours livré en virtuel, et le premier discours livré par des jumeaux ! Même si ce n’est pas la remise de diplômes que nous avions tous eu en tête depuis plusieurs années, nous

vous assurons que ce discours d’adieu vous rappellera des moments mémorables que nous avons passés ensemble depuis la 7e année.

Notre séjour à La Citadelle a commencé le 26 août 2014, et nous étions pas mal tous nerveux pour ce qui s’en venait. Tout

a commencé avec le casse-tête qui nous a été remis en entrant dans notre classe titulaire, c’est-à-dire, le cadenas.

Personnellement, ça m’a pris au moins une heure à figurer comment ça fonctionnait, mais ce n’est rien comparativement à Sophie, qui nous demandait après la

troisième semaine comment ouvrir son casier. Il est clair que nous avons tous appris des leçons très importantes pendant notre temps au Pavillon. M. Naz nous a appris que c’est très important de faire nos réchauffements avant de faire de l’activité physique: « On fait nos stretchs les gars! On bouge les hips » Une autre belle citation de M. Naz me revient à l’esprit: « Ramenez vos commandes de pizza les amis! » On nous a aussi enseigné comment gérer notre horaire de toilettes. Et il ne faut pas oublier les billets bleus qui nous ont été remis pour une attitude inadéquate. À la fin de la 8e, nous étions tous des élèves modèles, prêts à franchir officiellement les portes de l’école secondaire! Euh non… À notre rentrée au secondaire, nous ne savions pas à quoi nous attendre. Il y avait beaucoup d’inconnus, tout comme dans les équations dans nos classes de mathématiques. Nous étions très chanceux d’avoir les meilleurs enseignants parmi nous pendant la durée de notre secondaire. Par contre, ils n’étaient pas toujours aussi contents de nous voir.

C’est en dixième année que tous les enseignants ont compris qu’ils devaient garder un oeil sur nous après un petit voyage désastreux au musée national de la guerre à Ottawa. N’inquiétez-vous pas, nous allons revenir à ce sujet dans peu de temps.

Entre temps, nous aimerions souligner l’aide et l’appui de nos familles et des

familles de tous les finissants et finissantes. C’est certain que nous ne serions pas ici aujourd’hui sans leur appui continu pendant ces années. J’aimerais prendre le temps de remercier mes parents et mes grands-parents pour leur aide et leur encouragement pendant mes études. Je n’aurais pas été capable d’avoir le succès que j’ai eu sans vous.

Campbell, tu auras de grands souliers à remplir l’an prochain : prépare-toi!

J’aimerais également prendre le temps de remercier toute ma famille, surtout mes parents, pour tout ce qu’ils ont fait pour moi ces dernières années. Ils m’ont toujours soutenue et encouragée à poursuivre mes rêves. Ils m’ont enseigné ce qu’est un bon éthique de travail et comment démontrer de l’intégrité dans tous ce que j’entreprends. Heille, tu ne m’as pas mentionné dans tes remerciements!

Bin toi non plus! Bin merci pour tes notes de fonction 3U qui ne m’ont pas aidé du tout ! Merci à toi pour les conseils dans les cours de Mme Piché ! Maintenant, nous vous invitons tous, chers finissants et finissantes, à prendre quelques secondes pour remercier vos parents et vos familles pour leur aide. Pendant que vous les remerciez, nous allons prendre une pause très gênante. Awkward silence.

Maintenant, le voyage d’histoire en dixième année. Nous étions le dernier groupe à prendre ce voyage, et nous ne comprenons pas pourquoi le voyage ne se fait pas à chaque année. C’était une expérience qui était très enrichissante et

pleine d’information. Nicholas, est-ce qu’il faut vraiment que je te rappelle ce qui s’est passé durant le voyage? Oui, je ne sais pas qu’est-ce qui s’est passé de si terrible. Après une belle prière, nous nous sommes rendus à Ottawa sans aucun problème. Il y a même eu un « galaposal ». Oui, mais Nick, les trois classes avaient un questionnaire à remplir lors de notre temps au musée, et ma classe était la seule qui l’a pris au sérieux. Ça ne peut pas être la seule raison pourquoi l’école n’envoie plus les 10e au musée. Ce n’est pas la seule raison. Est-ce que tu te rappelles des nombreuses situations dans l’autobus en revenant à l’école, incluant le jeu de « what are the odds » qui a perdu le contrôle? Oh oui je me rappelle de tout ça! Toutes les conneries qui se sont passées dans l’autobus sont la raison pourquoi mon autobus a dû arrêter sur le bord de l’autoroute 138 pour régler la situation! Je comprends pourquoi le voyage n’a pas été répété...

C’est certain que nous n’aurions pas pu réussir l’étape de l’école secondaire sans l’aide et l’appui des enseignants et de tous les membres du personnel de l’école. Ils sont toujours prêts à nous aider, que ça soit avec nos travaux scolaires ou avec le drame dans les group chats. Mme Piché, tu sais de quoi on parle… Les gens qui ont pris le cours de tech ont définitivement apprécié les journées où M. Simard leur laissait apporter leur ps4, une télévision et des collations à l’école pour une période libre

s’ils étaient tous rattrapés dans leurs travaux. Et il ne faut surtout pas oublier Mme Angèle qui surveillait les corridors à chaque jour. Elle avait toujours un sourire au visage et nous encourageait pendant des moments difficiles. Les enseignants nous ont enseigné des valeurs qui nous seront utiles pendant les prochaines années, qu’elles soient passées à l’université, au collège ou sur le marché du travail, et nous nous en souviendrons pour le restant de nos vies. Je n’utiliserai sans doute jamais l’équation de la droite la mieux ajustée dans ma vie, mais j’ai appris que si je travaille fort, je peux réaliser n’importe quoi. Et en passant Mme Labonté, je ne comprends encore pas c’est quoi des nombres imaginaires, mais j’ai vraiment apprécié le travail de rédemption. Nous voulons remercier tous les enseignants et les membres du personnel qui ont eu un impact sur notre passage à La Citadelle. Nous ne pouvons pas vous applaudir en personne, mais sachez que nous sommes très reconnaissants pour tout votre travail même si, parfois, nous ne comprenions vraiment pas ce qui se passait dans certains de nos cours, et même si nous n’étions pas les élèves les plus disciplinés. Par exemple, c’est depuis la 9e année que les élèves niaisent avec le tableau blanc de Mme André non pas avec leurs cellulaires, mais plutôt avec le panneau électrique à l’extérieur de la classe. Nous avons vécu toute une gamme d’émotions dans nos cours, ce qui nous a marqué et

sommes un groupe très compétitif mais pas super performant. Nous avons gagné BBR pour la première fois cette année - sans avoir triché, évidemment!

De plus, nous avons même réussi à gagner la Pitoune cette année, même si nous étions seulement 10 élèves qui se sont présentés à l’école cette journée-là.

Nos succès sportifs ont toutefois été plus marquants. L’équipe de soccer féminin senior est allée à OFSAA deux années de suite et nous avons même remporté la médaille d’or l’année passée! Les deux années où nous sommes allés, il y avait des élèves de notre groupe classe sur l’équipe! Même si la plupart d’entre nous n’ont pas été capable de jouer un sport pour la dernière fois durant notre temps au secondaire cette année, nous avons quand même eu plusieurs victoires dans plusieurs sports qui seront des beaux souvenirs pour toujours.

Les clubs à La Citadelle sont des occasions pour les élèves de découvrir des nouveaux intérêts et avoir le temps pour penser à d’autres choses que leurs travaux scolaires. Nous avons beaucoup de clubs à l’école et notre niveau a même commencé des nouveaux clubs pendant notre temps à La Citadelle.

C’est en 9e année que nous avons recommencer le club enviro à l’école.

Quelques élèves ont même eu l’occasion de se rendre à Toronto pour le symposium des élèves en tant que chercheurs afin de partager ce que notre

L’école secondaire nous a permis de développer une meilleure éthique de travail, et je pense que nous pouvons tous dire que nous avons développé des compétences très importantes durant notre parcours à La Citadelle. Par exemple, la persévérance est une des qualités que tout le monde a acquis, surtout durant ces derniers mois. Notre vie, ces derniers mois, n’a définitivement pas été comme nous l’avions planifié depuis plusieurs années. Les paroles suivante démontrent très bien les sentiments que nous avons vécus cette année: (C okay LGS) Parfois la vie ne va pas comme on veut Quand même si on fait ce qu’on peut On cherche tous à être heureux Même juste un peu Même si notre 12e année ne s’est pas déroulée comme nous l’avions prévu, nous avons quand même beaucoup de beaux souvenirs et nous aurons des histoires à raconter pendant longtemps.

Chers finissants et finissantes, nous aimerions vous féliciter et vous souhaiter bon succès dans tous ce que vous entreprenez et n’oubliez surtout pas, Patriote un jour, Patriote toujours! Merci!

école était en train de faire afin de réduire notre empreinte écologique. Ceci a fait en sorte que cette année, notre école est devenue une écoécole! De plus, nous avons un élève de notre niveau qui a commencé le club de jeux de société en 9e année et qui l’a fait tellement grandir que maintenant, plusieurs élèves de différents niveaux se rendent dans la classe de Mme Charlebois afin de passer leur dîner en train de jouer à des jeux de société ensemble.

Nous avons tous rencontré des personnes incroyables pendant notre secondaire qui seront nos amis pour le reste de nos vie. Nous avons passé à travers plusieurs obstacles ensemble et nous sommes tous réunis ici aujourd’hui pour recevoir nos diplômes. Pour certains d’entre nous, il est peut-être favorable que la remise se déroule de façon virtuelle.

qui nous a permis de grandir, Je pense que la plupart d’entre nous avons pleuré au moins une fois dans un cours pendant notre temps au secondaire, mais il y a définitivement eu plus de moments où nous avons pleuré de joie - comme pendant la création de tik tok que nous avons fait dans les classes de Mme Piché.

Il y a aussi certains d’entre nous qui ont commencé des traditions au cours de notre séjour à La Citadelle. Bryson a commencé à s’acheter un déjeuner à la cafétéria le matin en arrivant à l’école de temps en temps, et éventuellement, la moitié de notre classe de stats faisaient la même chose. D’autres personnes se sont vite senti à l’aise dans certains locaux. Dès sa première journée au secondaire, Mathieu Bissonnette a fait comme chez lui dans le local 109 avec sa propre machine à café. Si vous cherchiez Mathieu, il était sûrement au 109.

En parlant du local 109, nous aimerions prendre le temps de remercier M. Léger, Mme Filion et Mme Perras de nous avoir permis d’utiliser ce local pendant nos « périodes d’étude ».

Pour la plupart d’entre nous, nos meilleurs souvenirs de l’école secondaire seront les journées thèmes à l’école, que ce soit les journées Bleu, blanc, rouge ou La Pitoune, les journées franco, Halloween, les 12 jours de Noël et nous sautons plusieurs. Nous avons beaucoup d’esprit à l’école et ce sont des souvenirs que nous garderons longtemps. Il est facile de dire que nous

Ontario releases plan for return to the classroom NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.com

ONTARIO – On Friday, June 19, the Ontario government unveiled its plan for the safe return of students to the classroom in the fall of 2020.

In addition to providing $4 million in funding for enhanced classroom cleaning, the province has also instructed school boards to develop contingencies for online learning, staggered bell times, alternating days of attendance, and more.

Depending on the public health scenario in September, the province has asked school boards to prepare three different options for learning.

Normal return to school with enhanced

cleaning.

Physical distancing, including limiting class sizes to a maximum of 15 students, possibly alternating attendance days, and having the same teacher with the same students as much as possible.

At home online learning. This contingency is for if the school closures are extended, or if parents choose not to return their child to the classroom.

“We are taking every precaution, investing more, and listening to the best medical advice in the country to keep students, staff, and families safe,” said Education Minister Stephen Lecce. “I want to assure parents safety is our guiding principle and the right supports are being put in place to ensure our students are

set up for success. I am grateful to Ontario students, education staff, and communities for stepping up during this difficult period.”

School boards are being asked to have their plans prepared by Aug. 4, 2020. In the meantime, the province is instituting its own measures for their part of the plan including: Guidance for developing health and safety protocols, including the use of personal protective equipment; Expectations of an in-class school environment; Professional development training for teachers on the new protocols and directions; Supports for students with special education needs; Enhanced mental health and well-being

supports; Proposals on how educators and students can move fluidly between in-class and remote learning; Guidelines to help schools and boards in their communications with students and parents; Guidelines for student transportation systems; Expectations for the delivery of curriculum and assessment across subjects and grades; Guidance for working with First Nations students, parents and communities; Regional options for reopening based on the advice of local public health authorities; and A checklist to help boards in their reopening planning.

Graduation Day for Patriotes at La Citadelle!

PROVIDED BY L’ÉCOLE SECONDAIRE CATHOLIQUE LA CITADELLE CORNWALL, Ontario - In the current context of the Covid-19 pandemic, L’École secondaire catholique La Citadelle held on June 18 its annual graduation ceremony in a virtual format this year, given the current social distancing guidelines.

After watching the video ceremony in the comfort of their home, students were invited to a “drive-thru” ceremony in the school’s parking lot, where the school staff, each in their own individual cars, honked and sang in celebration of the students’ success. Family and friends, as well as honoured guests, recognized the 86 students graduating this year. Mélanie and Nicholas Guindon proudly represented their

peers during the valedictorian speech which closed the event. The school’s bursary committee distributed sixty-four awards, a total of 23 300$, generously donated by the community and school.

Three academic excellence awards were bestowed during the evening. Anabelle Ferland received the Governor General’s academic award for the highest average. The silver medal was awarded to Debora Kouadio. Finally, the third highest distinction of the evening, the bronze medal, went to Andréa Desbiens. Thirtyeight students were recognized for their academic achievements as Ontario Scholars for having obtained a minimum of 480 points in six courses. In addition, amongst the graduates,

twenty-eight students received their Specialist High Skills Majors in construction, health and well-being or social justice. Finally, eighty-two graduates also received a Certificate of bilingualism, having met all criteria for this recognition.

The Lieutenant Governor’s Community Volunteer Award, for dedication as a volunteer, went to Émilie Groulx for her work within her community. Anabelle Ferland received the Trophée La Citadelle, offered by the school’s alumni, for her contribution to the “vie française”, school spirit, active participation in school activities and academic excellence. Furthermore, the prestigious George Mya Lepage in recognition of her determination, perseverance and respect

within the school environment. Campbell Simard was awarded the University of Ottawa Admission Scholarship. Finally, Nicholas Guindon won the Ontario Winter Games Legacy Award offered by the city of Cornwall.

The staff at l’École secondaire catholique La Citadelle congratulates all of its 2020 graduates and wishes them success in their future endeavours. École secondaire catholique La Citadelle and its Pavillon intermédiaire are home to more than 600 students from grade 7 to 12. The school has close to 100 devoted staff members, who have been ensuring an outstanding education to students in the Cornwall region for more than 40 years.

make the anthem gender neutral in 2018.

•The English and French versions are nothing alike Aside from the words “O Canada,” the lyrics to the English and French versions of the anthem are completely different. The French lyrics make reference to the Catholic religion and refer to Canada as a land of ancestors. The English version is a simpler affirmation of love and service to the nation.

•It wasn’t official until 1980 “O Canada” didn’t officially become the national anthem until 1980.

Before then, “God Save the Queen” was sung at important events and it remains the royal anthem of Canada.

Happy Canada Day!

You may have sung it in grade school and still hear it before hockey games, but what do you really know about “O Canada?” Here are some fun facts about our national anthem.

• It was originally written in Quebec “O Canada” was first commissioned in 1880 by the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec for Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day. The song’s music was composed by Calixa Lavallée and the lyrics were written by poet and judge Sir AdolpheBasile Routhier.

• It wasn’t translated until 1908 The English version was originally written by the Honourable Robert Stanley Weir. Since then, it’s undergone a few changes, including the addition of a fourth, more religious verse in 1926 and another change to

4. Slang In addition to their regional accents, Canadians use terms and idioms that’re all their own. Where else can you say, “I’m going to put on my toque, drive a few clicks down the road and pick up a two-four”?

5. Snack foods From Nanaimo bars and butter tarts to poutine and donairs, Canada is home to some of the best snack foods out there. Our chocolate bars are also second to none. In fact, Coffee Crisp, Smarties, Mr. Big, Aero and Caramilk can only be found on Canadian shelves. Additionally, dill pickle and ketchup chips are unique to Canada.

This year on July 1, take a moment to reflect on all the things that make this country and its citizens great.

Happy Canada Day!

Unique ways to celebrate Canada Day inspired by our national icons There are many ways to celebrate Canada Day and fireworks, community events and backyard barbecues are all commonly enjoyed on July 1. But if you’re looking to do something a little more unique, consider incorporating these national icons into your festivities.

THE MAPLE LEAF While the red leaf on our flag is that of the sugar maple, there are in fact 10 species of maple that grow across the country. This Canada Day, why not plant one of these trees in your yard? Alternatively, you could simply slather some pancakes with maple syrup and call it Canadian pride. Bonus points if you serve them with Canadian bacon.

HOCKEY While its exact origins are hotly debated, hockey as we know it today is firmly rooted in Canadian history and culture.

Since your neighbour­hood rink is likely closed for the season, consider playing a game of street hockey to work up an appetite for your Canada Day barbecue.

THE BEAVER While a number of animals serve as Canadian symbols, it’s the beaver that’s most recognized as a national icon. This isn’t surprising given that our country was largely founded on trading beaver pelts. Since you probably won’t see a real beaver on Canada Day, why not indulge in a Beaver Tail pastry instead? This quintessential Canadian treat is a delicious way to celebrate our country.

5 things Canadians do best Canadians have a global reputation for being friendly and polite. However, Canucks have a lot more going for them than being well-mannered. To celebrate Canada Day, here are five things that this country and its citizens do best.

1. Comedy What do Eugene Levy, Mike Myers, Samantha Bee, John Candy, Catherine O’Hara and Jim Carrey have in common? They all hail from the Great White North and are prominent names in the world of comedy.

2. Hockey This sport is an inarguable part of the Canadian identity. Professional teams have won more championships than any other country, and national teams regularly top the world rankings.

3. Cottage country Canada has more lakes than any other coun­try in the world. When combined with ocean coastlines, mountain ranges, unique deserts and abundant wilderness, Canada provides more opportunities to get away from it all than just about anywhere else.

Congratulations to all of those students who graduated this past week. The 20192020 Academic year was far from normal, with strikes, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

History will remember the uniqueness and specialness of your generation not because of what happened this year, but because how you responded to it and perservered.

So grateful that visits to long term care homes has resumed. COVID-19 has impacted many, but the isolation it has created for seniors has been very detrimental.

NOW OPEN SATURDAYS

Parks of the St.Lawerence (Long Sault) should open the beaches, and open the green areas to let people to use the space that will allow for proper distancing. Instead, the small park/ beach area off county road 2 and Avonmore road is being overrun, with many cars (not all Ontario plates) parked on the side of the road on Saturday June 20th.

Space is needed for distancing, Parks of the St. Lawrence has it...with all the time available for preplanning the park opening....why are we waiting until June 26 for limited use of one beach?

From a reader: This is in regards to the extension of the State of Emergency until June 30. Cornwall has had very few COVID-19 cases. I certainly think it should be left up to the Mayors of each city to decide when to re-open. There is an old saying “enough is Congratulations to Dylan Ravary who was enough”. -Mrs. C.

Thom Racine recently shaved his head and his mustache. The campaign to shave his head raised $6,335 and the Cornwall Police Association challenged him to lose his mustache as well, and that campaign raised an additional $3,295. Karen Torrie-Racine, Thom’s wife, explained that they received donations from friends from Colorado, Hamilton, BC, Ottawa, all over, but especially from Cornwall. All money raised has gone to support the St. Vincent de Paul Society. On Friday, June 19 Thom Racine and Karen Torrie-Racine presented their cheque for the shaving of Thom’s head.

Akwesasne police ask for restraint with use of fireworks PROVIDED BY AMPS AKWESASNE, Ontario – The Akwesasne Mohawk Police Service is advising the community that excessive lighting of fireworks has been creating undue stress on community members.

Fireworks create a severe noise disturbance that is alarming and frightening to elders, pets, children, and anyone with disabilities such as autism. They should be used sparingly. MCA has received numerous complaints, and we request that community

members be mindful and considerate of their neighbours. Lighting of fireworks excessively or in the middle of the night is discouraged.

According to the Akwesasne By-Law Respecting the Sale of Fireworks Within the Mohawk Territory of Akwesasne: • Fireworks must be handled in a safe and prudent manner.

• Children under the age of sixteen (16) must be accompanied by an adult of 21 years of age of 21 in order to be in possession of fireworks.

South Glengarry explores Agritourism NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.com

SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – At their meeting on Monday, June 15, South Glengarry Township Council heard a presentation about creating an Agritourism By-law.

Joanne Haley, the Township’s General Manager of Community Services explained what this new by-law could look like, including for allowing multiple structures on a property devoted to promoting agriculture.

Some examples of agritourism that Haley explained to Council included research, pick your own food, mazes, Bed & Breakfasts and more.

The main use of any property promoting agritourism must still be agricultural in nature rather than commercial or tourism.

“Agriculture is always the primary use.

Any person in violation of the By-Law is subjected to fines as well as confiscation of any explosives. Fines/penalties increase with each offence and could escalate to both a fine and imprisonment of 30 days. Criminal charges may also result, dependent on the circumstances.

We wish to ensure peace for all community members. Please maintain respect for one another and practice reasonable, safe and responsible fireworks use.

DriveTest Centres re-opening

Inviting public in,” said Haley. “It is not intended to create a commercial use and interfere with the rural lifestyle.”

When asked for input on the shape of the by-law, South Glengarry Council stated that they wished to see it be as flexible as possible.

“I would like something on the less restrictive side than on the restrictive side,” said Councillor Stephanie Jaworski. “I want to allow people to be creative.”

Haley was asked to get input from the township’s Agricultural Committee and she will also be receiving feedback from the general public before presenting a by-law to council for a vote.

Haley stated that it will be a few months before she council sees the by-law.

ONTARIO - On Monday, June 22 DriveTest centres began to re-open across the province of Ontairo.

The centres are now offering limited services with the goal of fully re-opening by September.

The DriveTest centres were originally closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“As Ontario continues to gradually and safely reopen, reopening DriveTest centres will help get more people back to every day life,” said Caroline Mulroney, Minister of Transportation. “By resuming driver testing in a phased, staggered approach, important health and safety measures, such as physical distancing and extensive cleaning, can be maintained.”

All 56 DriveTest centres will be open as of Monday and will be offering G1 and M1 driver knowledge tests. The G1 and M1 licenses are the basic licenses to drive a car or a motorcycle respectively, with certain conditions applied.

To help promote safe social distancing, DriveTest centres will be serving customers based on their birthdays. Those born between January and June will have access to the centres during the first week, and those born between July and December the following week. These alternating weeks will continue until full services are restored.

Some part-time Travel Point locations which offer similar services also are re-opening, but at a more gradual rate.

The full list of DriveTest centre locations and services are available at DriveTest.ca
