First female CPS Chief sworn in at change SDG Library to host Margaret Atwood Nov. 17 of command ceremony NICK SEEBRUCH
UNITED COUNTIES of SD&G, Ontario – The SDG Library system will be hosting Canadian author Margaret Atwood on Wednesday, Nov. 17. ATWOOD The event will run from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. and will be moderated by CBC Radio’s All in a Day host Alan Neal. Guests to the event will have an opportunity to submit questions to be asked to the Giller Prize winning author who is well known for her work that includes books like The Handmaid’s Tale, The Robber Bride, Alias Grace and much more. The event is meant to be to be a grand finale to the celebrations around National Library Month, which is in October, and the SDG Library system’s 50th anniversary. SDG Library’s Charlotte Halstead said that if she had a chance to ask Atwood a question, it would be about any parallels she might see between her classic, The Handmaid’s Tale and modern society. Guests for the event on Nov. 17 will be limited to SDG Library members. Anyone living, working, attending school or owning property in SD&G can register to become a member of the SDG.

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Police Service (CPS) has a new Chief and for the first time, that person is a woman. In her formal address during the CPS Change of Command Ceremony, Chief Shawna Spowart highlighted the importance of representation in high office. She recounted how her young daughter Addison told her one day how a boy in her class had said that “girls can’t be Chiefs of police.” “Unconscious bias still exists in our community and it is being passed on to our younger generations,” said Spowart. “If someone tells you girls can’t be Chiefs, remember today and tell them ‘yes they can,’” said Spowart at the conclusion of her address. Spowart in her address also thanked outgoing Chief, the now retired Danny Aikman. Aikman is the CPS’ longest serving officer, having begun his career with the service in 1981, and is also the person who served the longest as Deputy Chief in the service’s history. Aikman in fact hired Spowart when she began her career with the CPS 26-years-ago. “I am incredibly grateful for the chance that you gave me,” she said. “Not many can say that they were promoted to Deputy Chief from Sgt. Clearly the Board saw something special in you even then.” “You have a lot to be proud of and I am grateful for the opportunity we had to work together,” she added.

Aikman, in his brief address during the ceremony, remarked that the event was taking place in the same place that he and his wife Constance had their wedding reception, at the Ramada (formally the Holiday Inn). “In 41 years I have had some amazing adventures and met some amazing people,” Aikman said, counting incoming Chief Spowart among them. “I know that she has all of the characteristics to be an excellent Chief of Police,” he said. In her address, Spowart also reaffirmed her commitment to promoting diversity, equity and inclusivity into the work of the CPS. “I commit to continue to transform the police service into one that recognizes the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusivity,” she said. “It is a commitment to a journey that doesn’t end until we end the existence of sys-

temic barriers in policing.” Spowart also called on more work to be done to lower the stigma around workplace related Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD). “We won’t be able to change the kinds of calls our officers respond to, but we can reduce the stigma around PTSD,” she said. The ceremony was broadcast over social media, and was mostly virtual, with only a few members of the public in attendance. Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry MP Eric Duncan, his provincial counterpart MPP Jim McDonell, Mayor Glen Grant, Police Board Chair Elaine MacDonald, Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) Executive Driector Jeff McGuire, and Canadian Senator Bernadette Clement all sent in recorded messages of congratulations to Spowart and Aikman.
Franco-Ontarien children’s show films at Cornwall Library NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
CORNWALL, Ontario – Children’s TV show #CouleurDuNord was filming in Cornwall and on Friday, Oct. 22, they invited the public to take part in the last segment of the show to be filmed and to unveil a new mural at the Cornwall Public Library. The mural was created by host Mique Michelle, an artist who has created other murals across Northern Ontario, Ottawa, France, and previously in Cornwall as well. Michelle was aided in the creation of her mural with the help of four local youths, who also accompanied her as the show filmed in different locations around Cornwall, including at local businesses like Fairy Sweet and the Happy Popcorn Co. “#CouleurDuNord is all about highlighting
Franco-Ontarien communities across Northern Ontario,” said the show’s Executive Producer Rennata Lopez. “It is all about celebrating our heritage and culture.” #CouleurDuNord also celebrates Canadian Indigenous culture, and Mohawk dancer Farrah King was invited to take part in the filming of the final segment of the episode. Also invited to take part and speak in the final episode were Canadian Senator Bernadette Clement and Cornwall City Councillor Carilyne Hébert. #CouleurDuNord is preparing to complete filming on its first season. The first season of the show will have 10 episodes, and the episode featuring Cornwall will be the ninth of the series. Cornwall residents were invited to view the filming of the final segment of the episode and they served as the live studio audience for this segment of the show.

Library launches new logo and strategic plan NICK SEEBRUCH nseebruch@seawaynews.media
CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Public Library launched their new logo and strategic plan on Wednesday, Oct. 20 as a part of National Library Week. The new logo represents an open book, with four shapes in the book representing the St. Lawrence River and the four pillars of the Library’s new strategic plan. The new logo has multiple colours, which are reflected in the newly re-painted interior of the library and represent the different ways that the library serves the community.
The four pillars of the new strategic plan emphasize meaningful partnerships, exceptional service, space and experience, strong communications, and operational excellence. “I want to thank all of the people who provided their feedback to our strategic plan,” said Jennifer Jarvis, Library Board Chair. Cornwall Mayor Glen Grant who was at the unveiling said that the Library continued to have the city’s full support. “The Library has always had the full support of City Council,” he said. “We have always been there to help and that is not going to change.

The Optimist Club returns this Halloween with Trunk-Or-Treat event CONNOR MCLAUGHLIN, SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS CORNWALL, Ontario – The Optimist Club of Cornwall will be hosting the Trunk-Or-Treat event for the second year in a row on Halloween, Oct. 31. This event started in 2020 as a way for children to enjoy a happy Halloween. The Trunk-Or-Treat event held last year was a drive-thru style Trick-Or-Treat activity, where parents would drive through the Civic Complex and collect candy with their children. In contrast to that approach, and with COVID-19
limitations lifting, this year will have families walk through Lamoureux Park. “The event was created last year, as to not have Halloween cancelled,” said Terry Muir, President of The Optimist Club. “We ended up with traffic all the way up Water St., down Brookdale, and into the traffic circle, so we are trying to eliminate the traffic side of it this year.” “Last year was a huge success and a lot of people asked us to look at keeping the event going, so this year we’ll start with the walkthru event, still being COVID-19 friendly, and we have plans to expand it in the coming
years,” said Muir. With the event being held outside, all those participating are not required to show proof of vaccination, however, are advised to respect COVID-19 social distancing protocols. The event will be at the Bandshell in Lamoureux Park, and will last from 4:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Several businesses and individuals will be there to hand out treats to the children as they walk through the park. The Optimist Club of Cornwall partnered Volunteers decorated their vehicles for with Corus Entertainment, The Seeker, and Halloween at last year’s 2020 Trunk or Treat YourTV to help make this event happen. event (Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News).
Arts Hall of Fame 2021 Gala PROVIDED BY ARTS HALL OF FAME COMMITTEE The Arts Hall of Fame Induction Gala is back with a splash. COVID shelved the 2020 celebration but the organization that created maintains the Hall of Fame is including the 11 champions of 2020 in the festivities and honours for those of 2021, for a tour de force evening at the Ramada Inn on Friday, October 29. All told, 19 people will be fêted for their enduring contribution to the arts. The hall of Fame is in its sixth year and it continues to reach back into history to give long overdue honours to some giants of the past. Among the forebears of the contemporary art scene are Bernice Dixon, the first lady of dance and Mary Mack, who was a noted painter and thespian as well as politician. A new category of award, given for the first
time in 2020, is the sponsor award, given to Emard Brothers Lumber for their decades of support of amateur theatre in the city. Entertainer and escape artist Marc deMontigny, aka Magic Marc, will be in attendance, as will Bernard Chevrier, public servant, historian and champion of the francophone community of Cornwall and Ontario. Doug Hill and Bill Roddy are recognized for their contributions to theatre and Ann Marlin is recognized for her foundational support of pottery in the area. Gilles Routhier is recognized for his lifelong contribution to liturgical and community music. In 2018, he was instrumental in establishing the Casavant organ recitals in Nativity Church. Lastly, the powerful duo of Audrey and Alan Bin are celebrated for their lifelong achievement of beauty on canvas. The 2021 panel of inductees opens up new
award territory too, with the induction of the Barstool Prophets, Glenn Forrester, Graham Greer, Al Morier and Bobby Tamas. The band experienced phenomenal success through the 90’s and retired on a high note with a gold record to their credit. Brian McCartney founded the Centennial Choir as a student in high school and later, as music director at GVSS and CCCVS, he brought Cornwall students to the world stage where they amassed honours and awards. He mentors candidates at Ottawa and Queens universities. Jane Macmillan is a multidisciplinary artist who founded a school of dance and who is a superb painter. Stephen Gill is hailed for his voluminous writing on the theme of peace and his establishment of a support network for fledgling writers. Raymond Lacroix is one the most prolific musicians and teachers in the area. He has
directed the Centennial Choir, Ensemble Musique et Harmonie, and as clarinettist, he performs and records in the Clarpian-duo. Mario Sarda and Michael Pearson are champions of French and English theatre respectively. Michael Pearson was born for the stage where he acts, sings, directs, sometimes simultaneously and always to great critical acclaim. Mario Sarda is a champion of the arts, founder of Les Gens d’ici and a strong creative spirit in Théâtre l’Amalgame. Mario leaves his mark on every aspect of French theatre in the area. In 2004, Susan Powell established the Powell School of Dance, and accredited bilingual dance studio in Cornwall.

Using a medical alert system, also known as a personal emergency response system, is a great way to make living alone less stressful. Here’s what you should know. What are they? Medical alert systems are subscriptionbased services that allow you to contact an emergency response centre with the press of a button. Basic models connect to your landline and include a portable alert button as well as a base unit that acts as a speakerphone. The alert button is usually worn as a pendant or a bracelet and some types can detect falls. How do they work? Medical alert systems can either be monitored or unmonitored. If your system is monitored, pressing the button on your wearable device or base unit will connect you with a live agent. If you request help, they’ll dispatch emergency responders to your location. If you’re unable to answer, they’ll either try to reach someone on your contact list and/or emergency services. Unmonitored systems will dial a pre-programmed list of phone numbers, including 911, and deliver an automated message.
My observations of school buses Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words
NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM
The first rule is to follow at a safe distance. (No, the mandated COVID-19 six feet/two meters is not it). On a winding, rolling rural road, don’t bother attempting to pass, unless you’re driving a fire truck or ambulance on a mission. Just relax and observe. I can tell if a school bus is coming: a parent, usually the mother, is waiting on the shoulder of the highway. Perhaps there’s even a dog, usually a big one, such as a golden or a shepherd. Here are a few more observations. Three teens bounce out of the bus. Only one
of them stops beside the empty garbage cans and recycling bins. She shouts something, but the boys feign deafness and trudge on. She clenches her fists, then dutifully drags everything up the lane. Before that girl marries, I hope she learns how to get everyone to pull their weight, put their shoulder to the wheel and do their bit. I remember two very contrasting scenarios. In the first, I noticed a youngster’s head popping out from in front of the bus. He paused, scanned both ways, then scurried across the road. That kid was well trained and will live long. In contrast, I remember another youngster who, without the briefest of a pause, bolted blindly across the road. His faith in motorists was greater than the centurion who had an ill servant (Matthew 8: 5-13), the woman with an issue of blood (Luke 8: 43-48) and the blind
man at the roadside who was cured (John 9: 10n & 11). The most touching sight I remember involved a dog. Seeing a dog sitting all by itself at the end of a farm lane told me that the arrival of the school bus was imminent, so I pulled over to watch. (If you’ve ever had a dog, you know that they can tell time.) Out tumbled three school children of various ages. The dog greeted them by dancing up and down, yelping and bounding around them. In return, they completely ignored him all the way to the farmhouse. Not a hug, nor a pat on the head. It was as if the welcoming dog did not exist. I wanted to take that dog home, to give him the reward he so deserved. The next time you see a school bus making a pickup or drop-off, pause to observe.
END OF SCHOOL DAY – If you look closely, COVID-19 preventive measures have been taken on the bus. Driver and disembarking youngster are masked. Now that the little girl is in the family bubble, her mask can be removed. (Photo by Nick Wolochatiuk)
Cornwall local prepares cats for winter CORNWALL, Ontario – Mary Jane Proulx of Cattrap Cornwall is a long-time cat lover, as well as a feline protector in the community who worked on capturing spaying and neutering feral cats for several years. For the coming winter she has been creating cat shelters to keep cats from freezing. “This week I’m giving out 7 shelters for the feral cats, I know we can’t re-home them all so that’s why I believe in Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR),” said Proulx. “Most people don’t want to house feral cats, so the next best thing is
to catch and release them, so kittens aren’t born out onto the street.” Cattrap made a total of 25 cat shelters during the month of September and is looking for any plastic coolers people can donate for use in building more cat shelters. If a person wishes to donate, they should contact Cattrap or Mary Jane Proulx. “I’d like to give a big thank you to Emard Lumber and Fence Depot for donating the straw that is used for the shelters. Some people think to put blankets in the shelters however straw should be the only insulation used, as blankets and towels will become wet
and the cats will freeze,” said Proulx. The City of Cornwall passed a mandatory cat registry by-law in June 2021, partially mirroring the existing dog registry by-law, as a part of their Cat Control Strategy, as well as continuing to set a subsidy of $40,000 to support low-income households so that they may comply with the registry and spay and neutering program. Proulx expressed that she believes this is a step in the right direction, and that she wishes for more changes like this that continue to keep roaming cat population down, as well as continuing to support spaying and neutering
cats. In a conversation with Charles Bray, Chief Building Official, he gave more information on how the City of Cornwall plans to support the community in regard to the feral cat situation. “Unfortunately, due to COVID restrictions the number of clinics that the City was able to host was restricted. There is however a clinic opening up in early November and more planned for 2022,” said Bray. Bray announced that they are pending budget approval for another $40,000 be added to the 2022 budget.

CERB was a symptom, not the cause of the labour shortage NICK SEEBRUCH
8 - Wednesday, October 27, 2021
- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
It seems like everyone is hiring right now in Eastern Ontario. There certainly doesn’t seem to be a shortage of jobs, but there does continue to be a struggle to get those jobs filled. Some have pointed to the Canadian Emergency Recovery Benefit (CERB) as the reason why employers are having a hard time finding labour. People would rather stay home and collect up to $500 a week than go to work. From the people I’ve spoken to, I believe that this is partially true, but the real facts are a little more complicated and symptomatic of a greater problem in our local, national, and international economies. It isn’t just that people would rather collect $500 a week and work. It is also that people would rather collect $500 a week and not have to pay for childcare or gas as often on top of earning a wage that could be as much as CERB, or in some cases even less. CERB and other social safety nets also did not create a worker shortage. Prior to the pandemic, major local employers were trying very hard to fill employment vacancies. Olymel is just one example where prior to the pandemic, they had a program where they would bus in workers from Quebec on a temporary basis with the goal of having these employees permanently move to Cornwall.
This past week was the annual Cornwall and Area Job Fair. While it is not secret that the turnout wasn’t as high as some would hope, it is consistent with a downward trend related to this event as far as potential employees go. The 2018 Job fair had over 1,000 people show up seeking work, the following year saw a little over half that number. Cornwall’s unemployment rate has also been dipping in recent months from the highs we experienced during he pandemic. The unemployment rate in Cornwall is about 6.9 per cent, with Eastern Ontario as a whole being even lower at 6.4 per cent. This is the lowest unemployment rate for the region since the pandemic began. So where are these employees going? While certainly some did take up CERB and stay home, others simply have taken themselves out of the unemployment pool all together by becoming entrepreneurs. I can’t be the only one who can think of a few new businesses that have popped up over the past year, with even a few more that I know of who are waiting to open their doors. A valid issue with CERB is that it became a competition for potential employees. Some workers were making more on CERB. So, is it the employers fault for not raising their wages? No. Not entirely. Employers felt and have been feeling the squeeze the pandemic placed on the economy.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Tribute to wounded veterans Dear Editor, As we approach Remembrance Day, I’d like to pay tribute to the veteran members of The War Amps. The War Amps was started by amputee veterans returning from the First World War to help each other adapt to their new reality as amputees. They then welcomed amputee veterans following the Second
World War, sharing all that they had learned. These founding members then established the Key Tag Service, which is still going strong today, to fund the Association’s many vital programs including The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program. I was born a partial left hand amputee
In September, Statistics Canada reported that inflation pushed the Consumer Price Index up by 3.2 per cent over the past year. That means that unless your boss gave you a raise this year of 3.2 per cent, you earned less this year that you did last year and this goes for employers too. I can’t imagine many small businesses can say that they had a 3.2 per cent gain in profits over the last year. This inflation has been particularly hard on individuals though because it has primarily affected food, specifically meats. Over the past month alone the cost of 1kg of pork chops has risen by nearly a dollar. The real problem wasn’t CERB. The real problem is that inflation is making things more expensive, and businesses who are feeling the squeeze aren’t able to provide wages that can compete with the social safety net. My argument is that the social safety net should be redeployed. I think we should seriously start looking at using
those tax dollars to create wage subsidy programs or a universal basic income. This way, employers wouldn’t be trying to compete for workers by being forced to raise their wages too much. The fact is that CERB did solve a problem. It kept people who legitimately lost their employment from falling into poverty and allowed those people to re-invest that money back into the economy by giving them purchasing power. Now however, we have a new problem. Rather than businesses being closed due to health orders, they are re-opening again and are desperately in need of labour. Pandemics throughout history often upset the relationship between labour and employers and this is the challenge we are facing now. I believe that wage subsidy programs or a universal basic income would keep money flowing into the economy, take pressure off of employers and get people back to work. What do you think readers?

These veterans have left a lasting impact on generations of amputees as they taught us that we should be proud of our amputation and to know that it will not stop us from achieving our goals.

ALSO THIS MONTH IN 1975 – Cornwall Electric said the cost of electricity for the average city residential customer would increase by 15% on Jan. 1. The average residential bill would go up to $14.25 from $12.40. It was pointed out that Ontario Hydro planned to increase rates by 30%. ... Courtaulds said its nylon plant closed since Sept. 1, 1974 would not re-open and that 130 employees would lose their jobs. The closure had been called temporary. ... Dr. James “Paddy” Sullivan who quit a promising pro hockey career in the 1920s to become a dentist died. ... The city purchased 20 acres of raw land on Second Street East near St. Peter’s School for future housing. The plan was to service the property and eventually sell lots below market value to encourage the building of more houses to help alleviate the city’s severe housing shortage. The property would contain 210 lots. ... Council agreed to sell water to a Charlottenburg factory to help keep it in business. Without the city water, Cornwall Brass and Foundry on Boundary Road said it would have to close. ... Cornwall’s average annual income, according to the federal taxation depar tment, was $8,210, slightly less than Belleville ($8,226), Peterborough ($8,496), Brantford ($8,396) and Brockville ($8,416). ...

HERE AND THERE City resident received a notice from his utility provider that said he would have to send in his meter reading because of a fence that blocked access to his meter and his dog running loose in the yard. Problem is he doesn’t have a fence that impedes access to the meter and doesn’t own a dog. ... A woman the other night on television suggested that she paid off a $92,000 mortgage in two years by reducing the family grocery bill. Sorry, but the math doesn’t add up. ... S-F scribe Todd Hambleton this month reached the 30-year milestone in the biz. He was among the newsroom staffers who survived Black Friday (April 1997), the ruthless purge by publisher John “The Hatchet” Farrington who came close to destroying the paper before somebody in head office clued in. Paper held a nice little outdoor gathering (social distancing and all) to mark the Hambleton event with many ex-staffers invited. (Hugo must have misplaced my email address).

In the 1960s the Peter, Paul and Mary trio in a hit tune asked, “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” These days, as we wind our way out of the worst pandemic since the Spanish Flu, many businesses have a new version, “Where Have All the Workers Gone?” The shortage of workers, at least in Cornwall, existed before the pandemic but COVID-19 and the federal government CERB program exacerbated the problem. It seems that every second or third small business has posted a “NOW HIRING/HELP WANTED” sign as they compete with the extended government CERB program. Some local restaurants have had to reduce hours because they don’t have enough workers. One coffee shop chain would hire 35 people right now ... if they could find them. A well-publicized job fair at the Benson Centre, covering everything from hospitality to industry, had few takers. At least two major city employers, paying well above minimum wage and providing generous benefit packages, are busing workers from Ottawa and Quebec to fill the gap. As the feds reel in the CERB lifeline, businesses are hoping it will put more people back in the labour force. If not, it they will be singing another chorus of “Where Have All the Workers Gone?” LOOKING BACK AT 1975 In October 1975 a consultant hired by the city to map the development of Guindon Park, acquired from Ontario Hydro, came up with a long list of
proposals that added up to at least $4.3 million. The blueprint called for a marina, a beach, green houses, community garden plots, a nine-hole golf course complete with club house and parking for 120 cars, an equestrian centre, nature trails, a large picnic area and camping. Somehow, the consultant overlooked a zoo. Councillors also tossed in their ideas. Angelo Lebano wanted a go-kart track, while Francis Guindon suggested a landing strip for light aircraft. Was council thinking big? You want to believe it. Adjusted for inflation, that is $20 million in today’s dollars. *********** Slow down and think; stop making “on-the-spot” decisions. That was the mini-sermon delivered in a letter to city council on Oct. 12, 1975 from the Stormont Christian Council. The guardians of the community’s moral compass expressed concern with the speed with which important decisions were being made at the council table. The call from the local pulpits said decisions that have a profound effect on residents required more thought. There was no mention of prayerful thought. This came after council voted to allow tourist-oriented stores to open on Sundays. Meanwhile, the province was considering an amendment to the archaic Lord’s Day Act that would open the door to full-blown Sunday shopping. Cornwall MPP George Samis, always eager for a headline and sound byte, jumped on the anti-Sunday shopping bandwagon, taking a shot at city council and blasting (no surprise) the Conservative government. He said Sunday needed to be a day of rest for those employed in the retail business.
Co-Parenting and COVID THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE
JODIE REYNOLDS PARTNER AT GRENKIE & REYNOLDS LLP
Nothing is easy about a separation. Not the new house, not the new routine and certainly not the co-parenting. At a very hard time in your life you have to be able to put your personal feelings aside and co-parent in a civil and reasonable manner because it is in your children’s best interests that you both do so. Throw COVID into this mix and everyone has had to deal with a new reality in which communication about children’s schedules and symptoms is paramount to keeping everyone safe and healthy. There was no choice but to comply with new terms for everyone such as isolation, quarantine, and social distancing. How do you do this when your children go back and forth from two homes? You must conduct yourself with more understanding and sensitivity than ever before. You will have to be more accommodating to last minute changes, sensitive to the health issues of others outside your own household and flexible as to the new ‘normal’. Rapid changes happen when people must quarantine. These safety precautions must be followed but some creative parenting measures can be adopted. Move to some facetime or zoom time with parents that the children cannot see at this time. Try to make up the time lost when everyone is healthy again. Understanding when ‘regular life’ changes rapidly because of COVID measures, the children will be best served by parents who are flexible, accommodating and recognize that the children need quality time with each parent, even if that’s by video for a bit. *Only my clients get my legal advice. This is strictly general legal information. If you think you have a legal issue, please, hire a lawyer. It can even be me. I can be reached via email at jodie@yourlawfirm.ca

Seaway Valley Wrestling sells out Saturday shows NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
CORNWALL, Ontario – Seaway Valley Wrestling (SVW) held two sold out shows as a part of their Inaugural event in Cornwall on Saturday, Oct. 23 at the Agora Centre. The afternoon show kicked off at 2 p.m. and featured several singles matches, tag team matches and a women’s triple threat match. Hometown hero Ryan Donovan opened the show in a strong hard hitting match against Chris Chambers. The match featured a good back-and-forth that included several dives off the top rope, including a dive to the outside. Donovan came out on top with a pinfall victory after hitting Chambers with a Donovan Driver. The match was followed-up with a bout between two teams that were very colourful
in their own ways as Cassanova Productions took on Freak Nation. The Clown of Freak Nation took advantage of an opportunity after a miscommunication between Fernando De La Cruz and his partner Jordano The Producer. Fernando accidentally struck Jordano with The Clown’s mallet. He was aiming for the Clown, but missed and hit his partner and the referee did not see it, allowing the Clown to capitalize and get the win. Cassanova Productions then held up the proceedings and demanded another match against another team, something that SVW Commissioner Alain Allaire was happy to oblige, announcing that Cassanova Productions would be taking on Tabarnak de Team in their SVW debut later that evening. Next on the card was a woman’s Triple Threat Match, that included Cici Galavis
facing Mya Malek and Melanie Havok. After a brief but hard fought match between the three women, Havok won after hitting a stunner on both Galavis and Malek, pinning Malek for the win. Her victor was short lived though after the appearance of Kat Van Goff in the entrance way with her manager. Van Goff brutally attacked all three women that participated in the match with a kendo stick, and then proceeded to assault members of SVW’s security team who tried to get her under control before leaving the premises. After the melee, the monster like Predator took on the energetic Dale Kilburn. The quick match saw Kilburn defeat the Predator with a powerslam and pin combination before running out of the arena as quickly as he ran in. Seaway News‘ coverage of the event ended with the match between Maredes and
James Stone, where Stone defeated Maredes via submission with his grapevine Texas Cloverleaf. The show continued with more great matches, and some of the best spectacles of the weekend took place during the evening show at 7 p.m. “The second show blew the roof off the place,” Allaire said. Matches featured on the second show included Chantal take on the legendary French Canadian wrestler Lufisto. Mike Marston took on Channing Decker in a Cornwall Street Fight match. Covey Christ defended his Kaizen Heaveyweight Championship against Hotstepper MacRae Martin and Big Daddy D-Roy took on longtime rival Ray St. Jean for the SVW Championship.
Bridge Annex unveils the Life of John Baker memorial plaque CONNOR MCLAUGHLIN, SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS CORNWALL, Ontario – The installation of the John Baker memorial was held on Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2021. Baker was a Loyalist, born into slavery in the 1780’s. In 1804, he was released along with his family, later going on to fight in the war of 1812 and the battle at Waterloo, who later died as a general labourer in 1871. Bridge Annex is the first virtual branch of the United Empire Loyalists’ Association of Canada (UELAC), an organization dedicated to
enriching the lives of others through knowledge of the past, particularly the history of the United Empire Loyalists and their contribution to the development of Canada. Bridge Annex chose to honour John Baker’s life by installing a memorial storyboard during the UELAC’s annual conference they hosted virtually, May 2021, featuring the history of Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry (SDG). They stated that the life experience of John Baker and other early Black citizens of Cornwall and SDG is an important historical interpretation. Bridge Annex had spoken with
Natasha Henry, President of Ontario Black History Society, to ensure the memorial truly paid homage to the life of John Baker. Henry then wrote the text seen on the memorial. Bridge Annex assisted in proving John Baker’s service during the War of 1812, allowing them a memorial stone from the Graveside Project which was mounted beneath the memorial. “John’s story, and the story of so many of our early Black citizens of Cornwall and Area, and so many other places, have lingered for too long in the shadows of history. We are
proud to be able to come to know John Baker and his experience and that of his family and are proud to now share this life of the remarkable man we have before us with others,” said Jennifer DeBruin, UELAC Public Relations Chair. Local Artist, Tracy-Lynn Chisolm was commissioned to create an original oil painting of John Baker, which was then donated by Bridge Annex to the Cornwall Community Museum, to be displayed in future exhibits.

RRCA Partners with South Stormont to Plant 300 Trees at Municipal Office Grounds PROVIDED BY THE RRCA
Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA) board members and staff were recently joined by Township of South Stormont Council members and staff, as well as members of the Ontario Provincial Police and the general public in planting nearly 300 native tree and shrub species on the grounds of the Township’s municipal office, which border the south branch of the Raisin River. “When it comes to improving our local environment, every effort counts” says South Stormont Mayor and RRCA Chair, Bryan McGillis. “I’m very pleased to see yet another successful partnership between the Township of South Stormont and the Raisin Region Conservation Authority.”
The Township is working towards creating a recreational path alongside the newly planted trees, most of which are edible species such as black chokecherry, wild plum, and beaked hazel, to name a few. A variety of heritage apple species, as well as American paw paw, will be added at a later date. The community planting event was part of a larger riparian enhancement project by the RRCA, which is adding close to 13,000 trees this fall to lands bordering watercourses in its watershed jurisdiction. The project received $50,000 in funding support from the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks’ Great Lakes Local Action Fund. “I think this is a great program,” says Jim McDonell, MPP for Stormont, Dundas and
South Glengarry. “We’ve come a long way. A hundred years ago, tree cover in the region was down to 2 or 3 percent. Now it’s close to 30 percent.” The RRCA’s tree planting efforts began in

La programmation du Centre Charles Emile Claude revient PAR NICK SEEBRUCH, TRADUIRE PAR NICK SEEBRUCH nseebruch@seawaynews.media
CORNWALL, Ontario – Le Centre Charles Emile Claude (CCEC) est heureux de voir ses membres revenir et la programmation reprendre. Le vendredi 23 octobre, le CCEC a organisé un événement pour souhaiter la bienvenue à ses membres et présenter leur nouveau calendrier d’activités. Leurs programmes incluent le bingo, le yoga, la danse en ligne, le pickleball, le badminton, le bridge et plus encore. De plus, le CCEC poursuivra son programme de cuisine communautaire, qui était très populaire pendant la pandémie de COVID-19.
Le CCEC a servi 60 à 80 repas par semaine dans sa cuisine communautaire. « Les gens nous disaient que c’était le seul bon repas qu’ils recevraient quelques semaines », a déclaré le président du CCEC, Roger Frappier. La journée portes ouvertes du vendredi a été bien fréquentée. Avant la pandémie, le CCEC comptait plus de 300 membres. “Je pense que tout le monde était très impatient de se retrouver à nouveau”, a déclaré Frappier. “J’ai parlé pendant 20 minutes et je ne les ai jamais vus aussi attentifs.” Ceux qui souhaitent participer ou en savoir plus sur le CCEC sont priés de visiter leur page Facebook.

La Conservation de la Nation Sud soutient les projets environnementaux communautaires COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LA CNS FINCH, Ontario - Si vous cherchez encore à réaliser un projet environnemental communautaire, un événement récréatif en plein air ou une plantation d’arbres à l’automne, il n’est pas trop tard et la Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) est là pour vous aider ! La CNS accepte encore les demandes pour son populaire Programme de subventions aux projets communautaires liés à l’environnement, qui a accordé plus de 50 000 $ à des groupes communautaires, des organismes sans but lucratif et des municipalités membres depuis 2015. Le Programme soutient généralement des événements communautaires dans l’ensemble du territoire de compétence de l’Office de protection du bassin versant dans l’Est de l’Ontario qui favorisent l’utilisation récréative de nos rivières, protègent l’environnement ou célèbrent le patrimoine naturel. « Nous sommes fiers de soutenir des projets dont toute la collectivité peut à la fois
apprendre et bénéficier tout en protégeant notre environnement local », affirme John Mesman, responsable des terres communautaires et de la sensibilisation à la CNS. La CNS a modifié les lignes directrices du Programme en raison de la pandémie en cours, et prévoit maintenant un financement pouvant atteindre 300 $ pour les initiatives communautaires de gérance de l’environnement, comme la plantation d’arbres et d’arbustes, et la création ou l’amélioration de jardins communautaires. « Nous sommes ravis d’aider nos partenaires communautaires à améliorer les espaces verts publics pendant la pandémie. Les arbres ajoutent une valeur infinie aux zones urbaines et aux espaces communautaires, et les gens continuent de visiter les parcs municipaux et les aires de conservation en nombre record, ce qui démontre la nécessité d’investir dans ces espaces naturels », a ajouté M. Mesman. Depuis la modification du programme en
2020, la CNS a contribué à l’ajout d’arbres dans les parcs publics de chacune des 16 municipalités membres de la CNS, y compris dans les secteurs de la Ville d’Ottawa, de Prescott et Russell, de Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, et de Leeds et Grenville. Les 21 et 22 octobre 2021, le personnel de la CNS a soutenu la municipalité de Russell en plantant des arbres dans sept des parcs publics de la municipalité grâce en partie au Programme de subventions environnementales communautaires. Connaissez-vous un espace public ou un parc local qui pourrait bénéficier de quelques arbres supplémentaires ? La date limite pour recevoir des demandes dans le cadre de ce Programme est le 10 novembre 2021. Vous trouverez de plus amples renseignements 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 composant le 1-877-984-2948.
• Les enfants de 6 mois à moins de 5 ans • Les personnes de 65 ans et plus • Les personnes atteintes de maladies chroniques Le vaccin est aussi fortement recommandé pour ceux qui habitent avec une personne à risque élevé de complications ou pour ceux qui s’occupent d’elles ou de nouveau-nés et d’enfants de moins de 6 mois. Cette simple précaution peut vous protéger ainsi que les gens autour de vous. Pour en savoir plus sur le vaccin antigrippal, allez à BSEO.ca ou appelez le BSEO au 613-933-1375 ou 1 800 267-7120.

CORNWALL, Ontario - Avec l’arrivée de l’automne et du temps plus frais, c’est aussi le retour de la saison de grippe. Le vaccin antigrippal est le meilleur outil de protection contre la grippe et à cause de la présence de la COVID-19 dans la communauté, il est plus important que jamais de vous faire vacciner. Il est maintenant autorisé d’administrer le vaccin antigrippal conjointement avec le vaccin contre la COVID-19 – une étape clé pour demeurer en santé en cette saison. « Il est particulièrement important que les gens soient vaccinés contre la grippe cette année », dit le Dr Paul Roumeliotis, Médecin hygiéniste du Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario (BSEO). « La COVID et la grippe ont
des symptômes en commun mais malgré leurs similarités, le vaccin contre la COVID ne vous protégera pas de la grippe. Le vaccin antigrippal peut vous permettre de rester en santé et de réduire les pressions sur les centres de soins de santé. » Le vaccin contre la grippe peut aussi réduire la demande sur les centres d’évaluation pour la COVID-19. Moins il y aura de gens qui présentent des symptômes de la grippe, moins grand sera le besoin de tester pour la COVID-19. Le vaccin antigrippal est disponible partout dans la région Le vaccin antigrippal est offert à différents endroits dans les cinq comtés de l’Est et dans Cornwall, y compris chez certains
4 benefits of working for a small business When compared to working for a large company, small businesses offer several advantages. Here are four of them. 1. You’ll be close with your team. Typically, everyone in a small company knows each other by name and job title. Plus, it tends to be easy for small teams to form strong bonds, creating a solid, supportive and engaging work environment. 2. You’ll have a variety of tasks. Working for a small business often means that you’re expected to wear many hats. This allows you to quickly develop your skills and gain experience in several areas. 3. You’ll be valued for your work. If you finish a large project or receive positive feedback from a client, your efforts won’t go unnoticed by a small team. In fact, your colleagues will likely be happy to acknowledge

and ce lebrate your wins with you. 4. You’ll be involved in decisions. In a small business, all employees tend to be encouraged to get involved. You’ll have the opportunity to express your opinions to maximize efficiency, solve problems and improve the products and services offered. If you’re a strong team player who thrives in a rapidly changing environment, consider working for a small business in your area.

Peacefully, with family by her side, on Monday October 18, 2021 at Heartwood Long Term Care Home nearing her 102nd year. Beloved wife of the late Léonel Levac. Loving mother of Thérèse Levac of Cornwall, Michel Levac (the late Wendy Pineo Levac) of Rockland, Lucie Lafleche (Jacques) and Pierre Levac (Marie-Claude Rousseau) both of Cornwall. Cherished grandmaman of Jini (Erik), Nicole (Robbie), Michelle (Jonathan), Mario (Jordan) and Nicholas (Sam) and great grandmother of Justin (Hannah), Danielle, Gabrielle, Anika, Noah, Arianne, Théo, Alia, and Everleigh. Predeceased by one brother Ernest Martin (Jeanne) and five sisters Ida Bonneville (Lucien), Laura Graton (Léon), Flore Lalande (Élie), Germaine Guibord (Germain) and Emma Séguin (Ernest). She will fondly be missed by many nieces, and nephews, who many considered her a second mom, in their younger years. Special Thank You to Heartwood Long Term Care. Dr. DiCintio, for his passionate care, and to the amazing PSW’s (you know who you are) who cared for mom, and treated her with grace and compassion over the years, and during her final days. She always felt the love, and always tried to return it with her simple waves as you walked by. Her singing often filled the halls, and hopefully made everyone’s day a little brighter. There were the odd complaints when it was during sleep hours. An attendance controlled visitation will take place at Lahaie and Sullivan Cornwall Funeral Home, West Branch, 20 Seventh Street West (613-932-8482) from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesday October 27, 2021. An attendance controlled Funeral Service for Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Thursday October 28, 2021 in St. Felix de Valois Church at 1 p.m. Interment, Notre Dame to follow. Messages of condolence may be left at www.lahaiesullivan.ca. Paisiblement, avec sa famille à ses côtés, le lundi 18 octobre 2021 au foyer de soins de longue durée Heartwood qui approche de ses 102 ans. Épouse bien-aimée de feu Léonel Levac. Mère bien-aimée de Thérèse Levac de Cornwall, Michel Levac (feu Wendy Pineo Levac) de Rockland, Lucie Lafleche (Jacques) et Pierre Levac (Marie-Claude Rousseau) tous deux de Cornwall. Grand-mère chérie de Jini (Erik), Nicole (Robbie), Michelle (Jonathon), Mario (Jordan) et Nicholas (Sam) et arrière grand–mère de Justin (Hannah), Danielle, Gabrielle, Anika, Noah, Arianne, Théo, Alia, et Everleigh. Prédécédé un frère Ernest Martin (Jeanne) et cinq soeurs Ida Bonneville (Lucien), Laura Gratton (Léon), Flore Lalande (Élie), Germaine Guibord (Germain) et Emma Séguin (Ernest). Elle manquera beaucoup à de nombreuses nieces et neveux, qui pourraient la considerer comme une deuxième maman. Un merci special à Heartwood Long Term Care. Dr. DiCintio, pour ses soins passionés, et aux incroyables travailleurs de soutien (vous savez qui vous êtes) qui ont pris soin de maman et l’ont traitée avec grâce et compassion au fils des ans et pendant ses derniers jours. Elle a toujours ressenti l’amour ses et a tourjours essayé de le démontrer avec ses simples petits “Allo”. Ses chansons remplissaient souvent les salles et, espérons-le, rendaient la journée de tout le monde un peu plus lumineuse. Il y avait des plaints étranges quand c’était pendant les heures de sommeil. Les visites contrôlées par la presence auront lieu à Salon Funéraire Lahaie & Sullivan succursale de l’ouest, 20 7ième rue Ouest (613-9328482) à partir de 14h à 16h et 19h à 21h le mercredi 27 octobre 2021. Les funérailles de la messe funéraire chrétienne auront lieu le jeudi 28 octobre 2021 en l’église Saint-Félix de Valois à 13h. Inhumation, Cimetière Notre Dame à suivre.
Bonjour mon amour

C’est avec grande tristesse que nous vous avisons du décès de notre chère petite maman. Elle nous a quittés en toute douceur le 19 octobre 2021. Née le 19 septembre 1928 à Tingwick, Québec, elle est allée rejoindre son mari Arnold (Joe) (décédé le 8 avril 2020). Fernande was surrounded by her children whom she loved so much. She will be sadly missed and forever loved by her children Anne-Marie and Claude Poirier, Pierre and Jocelyn Fobert, Sylvie Mayer and Len Davis, Micheline and Randy Irving. Fernande was the loving mémère of Mélanie (Jason Shoot), Joël Mayer, Marie-Claude Poirier (Justin Courville), Marc-André Poirier (Karina), Jennifer Fobert and Dawson Irving. She was the great-grand-mother of Sullivan Shoot and Tristan Cuerrier-Mayer. She is also survived by her sister Laure (late Raymond) Burelle and her brother Gaston (Thérèse) DeSerres. She was pre-deceased by her parents Médard and Dorila (Hinse) DeSerres, brother and sisters Fernand (Olive), Rose St-Pierre (Joseph), Lucie Renaud (Stan), Réjane Beauregard (Royal), Marie Labelle and son-in-law Danny Mayer. Fernande accomplished so much in her life. She loved reading, writing and politics. The family would like to thank the staff at the Glen-Stor-Dun Lodge for taking such good care of our mom, especially in her final days. In keeping with Fernande’s wishes cremation has taken place. A private interment will be held at a later date. If so desired, contributions in her memory to the Alzheimer Association of Cornwall would be appreciated by the family. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Wilson Funeral Home, 822 Pitt St., Cornwall (613-938-3888). Online messages of condolence may be made in the obituary section of: www.wilsonfuneralhome.ca. Mom, nous nous souviendrons toujours de tes deux devises ‘Que Sera Sera’ et ‘Un Jour à la fois’. Tu vivras dans nos cœurs pour toujours et nous t’aimerons pour l’éternité.
CCH requiring proof of vaccination from visitors PROVIDED BY THE CCH CORNWALL, Ontario – For the protection of staff, physicians, and vulnerable patients, Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) will require visitors and essential care partners to provide proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 to enter the hospital starting November 1, 2021. This will not apply to patients. By implementing this direction, CCH joins other hospitals in the Champlain region who have already started or will begin requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination for visitors and essential care partners in the coming weeks. “From the onset of the pandemic, we made a commitment to our staff, physicians, and community to do everything we can to ensure their safety. To do so we have taken guidance from trusted public health authorities and have received clear direction that vaccination is one of the most effective ways to control the transmission of COVID-19 and to reduce the severity of the illness,” said Jeanette Despatie, President and CEO. In August, CCH announced a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy for its staff and physicians following direction from the provincial government.
According to the policy, anyone working or learning onsite at CCH had to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by October 15. Approximately 98% of 1151 active employees and all physicians at CCH provided proof of full vaccination by the October 15 deadline. “Our staff and physicians have stepped up to be vaccinated against COVID-19 for their own protection and that of our patients. We now expect visitors to provide that same level of protection for our staff and vulnerable patients at risk,” added Despatie. CCH recognizes that exceptions may have to be granted for compassionate reasons, which is why the hospital will be providing exceptions for certain circumstances which may require family presence. Residents are still urged to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as these exceptions will be limited to exceptional circumstances and also because Cornwall has been experiencing uniquely high rates of infections and hospitalizations in Ontario due to the city’s lagging vaccination numbers. Recently the hospital announced it would again be temporarily closing operating rooms and postponing elective surgeries due the
The Main Entrance of the Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) (Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News). strain that the pandemic was having on its resources. “It’s all the more reason why we need to implement this direction as soon as possible to protect our staff, physicians and vulnerable patients who may be at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19, even if they are vaccinated,” noted Despatie. If you are coming to the hospital and are not
a patient, please ensure that you have proof of vaccination and a piece of government-issued photo identification readily available. For more information on CCH’s current visitation restrictions, proof of vaccination requirements and exceptions, please visit: www.cornwallhospital.ca/en/VisitingHours.
Ontario will lift all COVID-19 restrictions over next six months ONTARIO – Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced that over the next six months that the province will slowly lift all COVID-19 restrictions including proof of vaccination and mask mandates. “Thanks to our cautious and careful approach to re-opening, we are now in position to gradually lift all remaining public health measures over the coming months,” said Premier Doug Ford. “This plan is built for the long term. It will guide us safely through the winter and out of this pandemic, while
avoiding lockdowns and ensuring we don’t lose the hard-fought gains we have made.” Starting on Monday, Oct. 25, the province will lift the majority of capacity restrictions on indoor venues where proof of vaccination is required. Capacity restrictions will also be lifted for certain outdoor activities. The government will also lift capacity and physical distancing restrictions on the following venues if they choose to implement a proof of vaccination system: -Personal care services (e.g., barber shops, salons, body art);

I was shocked by the lack of safety protocols being followed at the road construction site taking place in Martintown this week. There was only one flag man. This allowed the traffic from the unmonitored side to enter the construction zone until forced to stop by construction equipment blocking the road. This is not safe for the employees working there or for the general public just trying to drive through the area. Sad.

Readers should be aware that the fatality rate for a virus like COVID-19 is calculated based on the total number people who got sick against the total number of people who died from the disease. It is not calculated by the total number of people who died, against the total population of a region like the EOHU. The regional fatality rate for COVID19 is between two and three percent.

JOKE OF THE WEEK
From the Corwnall BMX Club: Our 2021 racing season is a wrap! Big thank you to all of our volunteers for keeping things running smooth, thanks to our sponsors for your contributions to our track, and most of all thanks to our riders, parents and supporters for making it all worthwhile!
month for 10 YEARS!!!!! Plus, propane used. Said it would be so so so much cheaper than oil. I DID NOT SIGN ON DOTTED LINE. Next day cost of propane increased by 300%.!!!!!!! Yikes. If you did sign up, use your grace period to cancel. DO THE MATH. In my opinion it’s a scam. Or just pretend your not home.
Halloween safety tips from CPS PROVIDED BY CPS Cornwall, ON - While Halloween may look a bit different again this year due to COVID19, the Cornwall Police Service (CPS) is hopeful that everyone will find a way to enjoy the night safely. As in previous years, the CPS would like to provide some suggestions for trick-ortreaters who choose to take part in Halloween: · Bring a flashlight; · Walk instead of running; · Stay on the sidewalks (If there is no sidewalk, walk on the left-hand side of the street facing traffic); · Avoid jaywalking; · Do not cut across lawns or take short-cuts; · Do not go inside houses and do not get into vehicles; · Only visit houses that are lit; · Wear a light-coloured or bright costume, reflective tape or arm bands to heighten visibility; · Wear a costume that is properly fitted to reduce the chance of tripping on it; · Select a costume that is constructed from flame-retardant materials; · Make sure your vision is not restricted; · Stay away from animals you are not familiar with;
· Vandalism is not just a ‘trick’ - it is against the law and has consequences; · Avoid touching surfaces (knock instead of pushing doorbells, if possible); · Use hand sanitizer often; and, · Stay home if you are feeling unwell. If you choose to stay in this year, here are some recommendations for fun ways to celebrate: · Launch a virtual competition with your neighbours for the best outdoor Halloween decorations; · Organize a virtual costume party online with friends; · Watch a scary movie with the people you live with. There are plenty of Halloween movies that will get you in the spirit. If the weather permits, set it up in your backyard; · Set up an at-home candy treasure hunt for your children; · Eat a fun and spooky meal you have made with those you live with; · Save the pumpkin carving for Halloween night so you have another activity to look forward to; and, · Enjoy some other fall activities that day and evening, like an outdoor corn maze or apple picking. No matter how you choose to celebrate, we wish you a safe and happy Halloween!

What paint should you use in the bathroom?
Since bathrooms are humid environments that fluctuate in temperature, you can’t use just any type of paint. Here are a few tips to make sure you

choose a product that will look good and hold up under these conditions. Type Ideally, you should choose an acrylic latex paint. Also, it’s best to avoid a matte finish, as this sheen makes paint less resistant to humidity and frequent cleaning. Keep in mind, however, that a glossy finish will make imperfections more apparent. Therefore, if your walls aren’t in the best shape, consider a velvet, pearl or satin finish. However, if you prefer a classic matte finish, look for an antifungal paint specifically designed for use in humid spaces. Colour When it comes to paint colours, there
are plenty of choices. For a calming, spa-like atmosphere, consider a calming blue-grey. Alternatively, a darker colour could make the space feel more intimate, or you might opt for a vibrant orange to brighten up the room and add warmth. If you have a small bathroom, keep in mind that lighter tones tend to make spaces feel airier. However, a single dark accent wall can be used to create contrast and depth. 326645 To discover the wide variety of available products, visit the paint and hardware stores in Marleau your area. 1100 Ave.
