CORNWALL, Ontario – Two World Wars, 102 years, and now two pandemics, but Elsie Kyer is still going strong. On July 22 Kyer and family and friends celebrated her birthday in front of her home. When Kyer turned 100, she had a big party at the Cornwall Legion, where she is a long time member, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, that kind of event was not possible this year. The Cornwall Legion still wanted to celebrate Kyer’s special day however,

and organized a drive-by past her house on Wednesday afternoon, honking horns before gathering around her drive way to present her with a big birthday card, some balloons and singing her “Happy Birthday”. “I’m 102 and I’ve got to take it,” said Kyer when asked how she felt about her birthday. “I’d like to party, but I can’t.” Kyer said that the secret to a long life was drinking beer and staying active. She is well known at the Cornwall Legion for coming by regularly to play darts. Kyer was born in Longueuil, QC, in

CORNWALL, Ontario – For 35 years Cornwall Seaway News has delivered local, community news to its readers. Our dedication to the news has never stopped whether it be through the financial crisis of 2008, the Ice Storm of 1998, or even Civic and statutory holidays, Cornwall Seaway News continues to be printed and distributed in Cornwall and the surrounding townships and this has remained true through the current global pandemic. Staying informed during these uncertain times can be crucial. Information about the pandemic changes rapidly, and while the print edition of Seaway News is distributed weekly, the latest headlines are always available on our website and through our social media platforms. We have been lucky that in our 35 years, we have received much love and praise from our community and our readers. As we get closer to our 35th Anniversary this Sept. 15 we continue our contribution to this community. I am often told on a weekly basis that our readers look forward to our print edition to read Scuttlebutt, or one of our columnists who only appear in print first before going up online. Whenever a reader does not receive the paper in their Ad Bag, we often hear about it and are quick to ensure that any delivery issues are addressed. All of this being said there is a way to read Cornwall Seaway News on our website and go back in time to find earlier editions of the
printed paper. Our E-Edition is prominently displayed on the desktop version of our website at the top of the right-hand column. Each Wednesday morning the E-Edition is updated with the latest version of Cornwall Seaway News in print and older editions are available right below in our archives.

Why not put students in arenas? NICK SEEBRUCH
6 - Wednesday, July 29, 2020
- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
During these days of the pandemic, everything seems so uncertain. We don’t know when the economy will recover, we don’t know if there will be a second wave of COVID-19, and we don’t know how safe our youngsters will be when they are back in the classroom in the fall . . . if they are back in the classroom. The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) stated at their board meeting this past week that they would prefer to see their students back in class on a full-time basis, with enhanced classroom cleaning and hygiene. That being said, the UCDSB can only predict as well as the rest of us what the fall will bring, and they have written up a Plan B, and a Plan C. Plan B would see reduced class sizes, with students in on limited days each week for elementary schools. Elementary school students would attend school three days a week for one week, and then two days a week the next. High school students would only see half days. Under Plan B teachers will be expected to continue to provide online educational support. In Plan C, will see much the same experience as this past Spring and Summer, with students engaging entirely in online e-learning. “It is our hope that all students will be in class for the first day of instruction on Sept. 4, however if we are told otherwise by the Ministry or local health officials that it is not safe to do so, I think the plan we have drafted has put us in a position to still address the learning and mental health needs of our students,” said UCDSB Chair of the Board of Trustees John McAllister at their meeting. I think that the best case for the education and social development of our students will be for them to be in class, and in person. However, this needs to be done safely. I saw many comments from parents on the story we did about the UCDSB meeting who were clearly conflicted by this conundrum between being in class and being safe. We know that the virus cannot travel long distances, that social distancing and masks work. This means that for students to return to class safely, they will need space, more space than many tightly packed schools have on-site. My suggestion would be that municipalities donate time and use of their arena facilities to local school boards so that students can learn in person while also being socially distanced. I feel like arenas were almost built for this situation. Take the Cornwall Civic Complex as an example. The Complex is a 5,000-seat arena, with a brand-new four-sided box screen above the centre of the ice. Even with a one seat space between all students, you can still have 2,500 students in the Ed Lumley arena at once. The four-sided screen in the centre will allow all students to view the lesson. Teachers can be in the stands with students to answer questions and enforce discipline. Also, it isn’t like the Ed Lumley arena won’t be available. I am a fan of hockey as much as the next guy, but if there is a second wave in the fall, it might not be feasibly to have close contact sports anyway. Whether or not school boards like this idea, this extraordinary situation calls for extraordinary measures. There are four school boards in the Cornwall and surrounding area and at the very least, these different school boards must work closely together for the sake of the safety and education of all of the students in our region. The Cornwall Civic Complex can hold more students than anyone school in our region let alone any one grade, even at half capacity. These arenas could be an asset to school boards, and can be used to ensure social distancing, and so can their own gyms and cafeterias, but our regions school boards must work together. What do you think readers? How would you keep our students safe come the fall? Email me a Letter to the Editor at nseebruch@seawaynews.media

Mat Williamson remporte le Summer Sizzler 50 au Cornwall Motor Speedway COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE CORNWALL MOTOR SPEEDWAY CORNWALL, Ontario - Le Summer Sizzler était présenté étant le 4e évènement de la saison avec les Modifié, Sportsman, Vintage et Lightning Sprints. Un peloton de 30 voitures a pris le départ dans la finale Modifié Summer Sizzler avec Yan Bussiere qui prend les devants sur Dalton Slack et Luke Whitteker.

Les conditions de sécheresse s’aggravent sur l’ensemble du territoire de la CNS COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LA CNS
8 - Le mercredi 29 juillet, 2020
- Cornwall Express - www.cornwallseawaynews.com
NATION SUD, Ontario - En raison du manque de précipitations sur l’ensemble du territoire de la Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS), l’Équipe d’intervention en cas de bas niveau d’eau de la CNS a fait passer l’avis de sécheresse du niveau I (mineure) au niveau II (modérée) pour l’ensemble du bassin versant à compter du 23 juillet 2020. Depuis l’émission du niveau II de bas niveau d’eau le 9 juillet 2020 pour la région supérieure de la Nation Sud, la CNS a vu les conditions se détériorer dans les autres sous-bassins versants en raison du temps chaud et sec persistant. Les faibles précipitations reçues en juillet ont été sporadiques et
insuffisantes pour améliorer le débit des cours d’eau. Ces conditions ont entraîné une baisse continue des débits. L’évaporation pourrait devenir une préoccupation importante si les conditions actuelles persistent. L’Équipe d’intervention en cas de bas niveau d’eau de la CNS s’est réunie le 23 juillet 2020 et ses membres ont signalé une réduction du rendement des cultures et un stress thermique chez le bétail, qui ont été aggravés par la récente vague de chaleur. Certaines municipalités ont signalé une augmentation continue de la demande en eau municipale au cours des dernières semaines. Si les conditions de sécheresse devaient s’aggraver, les puits peu profonds pourraient
se tarir. Des conditions de sécheresse prolongées peuvent également affecter la santé des arbres et des semis nouvellement plantés. Les résidents, entreprises et autres industries peuvent aider en réduisant leur consommation d’eau de 20 % et en limitant les utilisations non essentielles d’eau (par ex. l’arrosage des pelouses, le lavage des voitures, etc.). Les propriétaires fonciers devraient être au courant des règlements de leur municipalité en matière de conservation de l’eau et de lutte contre les incendies. L’Équipe d’intervention en cas de bas niveau d’eau de la CNS, créée dans le cadre du Programme d’intervention en matière de
ressources en eau de l’Ontario, est composée de représentants des gouvernements provinciaux et municipaux, de l’agriculture, et de groupes d’intérêts spéciaux. La CNS continuera de surveiller l’état du bassin versant et communiquera des mises à jour au besoin. Les propriétaires fonciers sont invités à communiquer avec la CNS s’ils éprouvent des problèmes avec leur puits et peuvent remplir un sondage en ligne sur le site Web de la CNS pour signaler les impacts des bas niveaux d’eau.

Précautions durant une période prolongée de grande chaleur COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LE BSEO CORNWALL, Ontario - Le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario (BSEO) a émis un avertissement de chaleur prolongée et recommande aux résidents des cinq comtés de l’Est de prendre les mesures nécessaires pour prévenir les maladies reliées à la chaleur. Environnement et Changement climatique Canada prévoit des températures élevées qui débuteront le 25 juillet et devraient durer au moins trois jours. Tout le monde court des risques pendant une période de chaleur; cependant, les risques pour la santé sont plus grands pour les personnes âgées, les bébés et les jeunes enfants, les personnes atteintes de maladies chroniques, les personnes qui travaillent à la chaleur, les personnes qui font de l’exercice à la chaleur, les sans-abris et les personnes à faible revenu. Il est possible de prévenir les maladies reliées à la chaleur. Suivez les conseils suivants pour diminuer le risque de maladie reliée à la chaleur : Boire beaucoup de liquides froids, surtout de l’eau, avant d’avoir soif pour diminuer le risque de se déshydrater. La soif n’est pas un
bon indicateur de la déshydratation. Reporter à plus tard ou planifier les activités de plein air plus tard dans la journée quand le temps est plus frais. Porter des vêtements amples en tissu respirant et de couleur pâle. Vêtir les bébés et les jeunes enfants de vêtements très légers. Ne pas les envelopper d’une couverture ni de vêtements épais. Ne jamais laisser de personnes ou d’animaux de compagnie dont vous êtes responsable dans un véhicule stationné ou en plein soleil. S’éloigner de la chaleur en passant quelques heures dans un endroit frais, comme par exemple à l’ombre d’un arbre, dans un endroit climatisé, ou un site d’accueil climatisé. Prendre des douches ou des bains froids jusqu’à ce que vous soyez rafraîchi. Préparer des repas qui n’exigent pas d’être cuisinés au four. Bloquer le soleil en fermant les auvents, les rideaux ou les stores pendant le jour. Éviter de s’exposer au soleil. Se faire de l’ombre en portant un chapeau respirant à bord large ou à l’aide d’un parapluie.
Limiter l’activité physique. Il faut savoir que les enfants ne transpirent pas autant que les adultes et sont donc plus vulnérables au stress de chaleur. Demander au fournisseur de soins ou au pharmacien si les médicaments à prendre ou une maladie dont on est atteint peuvent augmenter les risques pour la santé en période de for te chaleur ; suivre leur s recommandations. Les maladies reliées à la chaleur incluent les coups de chaleur, l’épuisement et l’évanouissement causé par la chaleur, ou l’œdème (enflure des mains, pieds et chevilles), boutons de chaleur et crampes de chaleur (crampes musculaires). Surveillez les symptômes de la maladie reliée, lesquels incluent : l’étourdissement ou l’évanouissement, la nausée ou les vomissements, les maux de tête, la respiration et les battements de cœur accélérés, une soif extrême et la diminution de l’urination qui est d’un jaune foncé inhabituel. Devant l’apparition de l’un ou l’autre de ces symptômes en période de chaleur extrême, installez-vous immédiatement dans un endroit frais et buvez des liquides, préférablement de l’eau.
Le coup de chaleur constitue une urgence médicale. Appelez immédiatement le 911 si vous prenez soin d’une personne dont la température corporelle est élevée qui est soit inconsciente, confuse ou qui ne transpire plus. En attendant de l’aide, faites baisser immédiatement la température de la personne en l’amenant dans un endroit frais si possible, en appliquant de l’eau froide sur de grandes régions de peau ou sur les vêtements, et ventilez la personne le plus possible. Le BSEO incite tout le monde à demeurer vigilant et prendre des précautions. N’oubliez pas de visiter souvent vos voisins, vos amis et les membres âgés de votre famille, surtout ceux qui souffrent de maladies chroniques, pour vous assurer qu’ils sont au frais et bien hydratés.

PROVIDED BY THE GLENGARRY HIGHLAND GAMES MAXVILLE, Ontario - In its 73 year history, a Glengarry Highland Games has never been cancelled until this year. It seems strange not to be preparing for the Games, not only for the Games Directors but for everyone in Glengarry who count on the Games to be the gathering spot of the summer for family and friends near and far. This week things are a lot quieter in the Counties and certainly Maxville won’t be receiving the thousands of visitors who start arriving Wednesday and fill the streets and fairgrounds for the days of the Games. There is a big void for everyone with what to do this weekend that can match the excitement and camaraderie of the Games. At the Games, we have come up with a few novel ways to keep the Games alive by using our social media to post virtual Games happenings. Nothing can replace the real thing, but we hope everyone will gather in covid safe groups and carry on with Games festivities using some of the neat stuff found on our website, Facebook, Instagram,Twitter and YouTube sites. Welcome to the Games Virtually To help you through this Games week, here are a few things that are in the works to create a virtual experience of the Games. If you read this before Wednesday evening and are looking for some Games merchandise especially the special 2020 shirt, head over to Maxville and the Games Admin building. Sales will take place 6-9pm. Bring your mask and debit or credit only. Throughout the week, you can test your knowledge and experiences with the Games on our Facebook pages in the Trivia and Bingo Games. Challenge family and friends for the title of Games champ. Wednesday will feature photos of past Golf Tournaments that have raised funds for many local organizations over the years. What can be more fun that wearing a kilt that swirls as you whack the mighty white ball. Starting Thursday at 6pm, check out our Facebook page for a very entertaining video with many of our Games Directors tossing the token. You’ll see a lot of familiar faces and lots of great attempts to look like pros as they toss one of the Games famous beer tokens. No tokens or Directors were harmed in this video.

CPS developing plan for diversity, equity, and inclusivity NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
CORNWALL, Ontario – At the Police Services Board meeting held on Thursday, July 23, Cornwall Police Service (CPS) Deputy Chief Shawna Spowart presented her service’s plan to implement progressive change. The plan is to promote diversity, equity and inclusivity both within the CPS and with their actions with the public. Spowart made it clear during the meeting, that this plan had been in the works for some time, and was not done in response to the death of George Floyd and the resulting Black Lives Matter protests. “Our journey actually began last December. That was when I was invited by the Children’s Aid Society to participate in a training session,” Spowart said. Spowart explained that she, and CPS Inspectors Chad Maxwell and Dave Michaud took part in a Courageous Leadership seminar where they were introduced to equity, diversity, and inclusivity in ways that challenged their views on those topics. She explained that the objectives of the new program will be to increase awareness of diversity issues within the CPS, ensure equitable treatment of everyone, and promote better relations between the police and diverse communities. “This is an issue of compassion, understanding and patience of ALL people,” said Deputy Chief Spowart. “This is an issue of humanity, which is why it is of such importance to the CPS and our community.” CPS has assigned Acting S/ Sgt. Tracey Pilon to lead the project and develop a plan
815
to promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity. Her first task will be to collect statistical data about the make-up of the Cornwall community and of the CPS itself. She will also be charged with developing a framework for the plan to be presented to the Police Services Board in September. “We realized early on, we need to survey our own people. What is the make-up of our own service,” Spowart said. Spowart acknowledged that this would be a different journey for each member of the service. “We acknowledge that our members will be coming into this journey at different places on this continuum. We welcome everyone into this journey, no matter where you are on the continuum,” she said. “When you know better, you do better. We want our people to know better.” In response to the presentation, Mayor Bernadette Clement applauded the CPS for the work they have already done and explained her impressions of the goals of this new program. “This is not about targeting them (CPS members) in any way or saying we are not satisfied. This is about being professional and progressive,” Clement said. Another CPS member, Bill Beattie took issue with the fact that the Black Lives Matter protest in June took place on the same day as D-Day, and stated that he believed that all lives matter over just black lives. “I don’t think that anyone is arguing that All Lives Matter, but All Lives don’t matter until Black Lives Matter,” Deputy Chief Spowart responded.

The first phase will involve catching up on all of the administrative requirements of such a large project. The end of Phase One will see a new website launched dedicated to communicating with the public about the Portlands. The second phase will involve the creation of a strategic plan and develop terms of reference. The third phase will be the beginning of the clean-up phase of the property with a development of a communication plan in preparation for Phase 4 which will heavily feature public consultation in both communities to build a joint vision for the Portlands. “This is land to be enjoyed by each community,” said McLinden. “It is one vision that needs to be in harmony in both communities. The public consultation part of this will be crucial.” There will be three public consultation meetings in Cornwall and three in Akwesasne. “A project of this magnitude will only work if our community is engaged,” said Mayor Clement. “It is also about seeking consensus and harmony. Those aren’t just words, it is about getting that deeper relationship between our communities.” McLinden explained that the planned next steps include setting up regular meetings with the property owners and getting to a “restarting point”.

stipulated that it continue to operate as a harbour for a period of two years. The two municipalities chose the Cross Border Partnership program to lead the development of the project because of its ties in both communities. In 2018 the Cross Border Partnership program came into being after the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Cornwall Chamber of Commerce, CFDC, MCA Economic Development program and the Massena Chamber of Commerce. The CFDC’s Simon McLinden has been chosen as the project manager. Now that a project manager has been chosen, McLinden has been given one year to complete a four phase plan designed to get the Portlands ready for development. “It is unique to have a co-ownership agreement between a municipality and a First Nation. Because this is unique, because at this particular time in history it is so important to embark on development where collaboration is a part of the project,” said Cornwall Mayor Bernadette Clement. “We want to show the province and our nation what two communities can do when moving forward in harmony in developing a really promising partnership.” “There is significant potential to create positives for both of our communities for generations to come,” added MCA Grand Chief Abram Benedict.

BEEF The lawn at the bottom of my driveway is a flicking ground for butts from people crossing the street from my driveway. Before Marlborough Street was rebuilt, my tree roots had to be extinguished due to cigarette butts still burning. My trip to Farm Boy yesterday - 2 butts by my car still burning, and butts all over the parking lot. What is the matter with people - this is disgusting and it’s spreading germs - take your damn butts home with you and dispose of them on your own property and in your own garbage. Take a look around you the next time you head out - look at the cigarette butts littering our gas stations, grocery store parking lots, and our streets. Please be kind to those of us who do not smoke. Count yourself lucky that this isn’t Britain - the fine is mind boggling! The upside - IT WORKS!!

Great work to all of the participating restaurants and volunteers who supported Ribfest. This year’s plan was so well and had so much support from the community, I’ve seen many comment that they would like to have it this way every year.

Death of a newsroom, end of an era Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings
EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM
I once worked for an editor who called the newsroom the heart and soul of the daily newspaper business. He was fond of reminding folks in the advertising and circulation departments, “You guys sell the tickets; we are the show.” I remember a publisher moving his office to the newsroom because, as he put it, “This is where the action is.” But come later this summer, the StandardFreeholder, under orders from the bean counters in Postmedia HQ as it wiggles in a financial vice, will close down its newsroom when it vacates the old Courtaulds office building at 1150 Montreal Rd., where it set up shop after selling 44 Pitt St. It is another, and not the last, cost-cutting move. The five-day-a-week print edition is on life support. The orphaned editorial staff – all four – along with the six or seven other full-time employees (in the 1980s the S-F had around 100 full-time employees) – will become remote workers, doing the newspaper business from their homes. The S-F home base will become a postal box. For sure, in debt-riddled Postmedia, this isn’t just happening at the S-F. Other small dailies in the chain will be doing the same as leases expire.
Great comeback the other night by a CNN reporter during an interview with Donald Trump’s (new) campaign manager, Hogan Gidley. When Brianna Keilar pointed out that things are so bad with COVID-19 in the United States, that “even Canada doesn’t want us.” It was a reference to Canada extending the ban on U.S. visitors. Trump’s man shot back, “Not sure why you’d want to go to Canada when we live in the greatest country on the planet.” She shot back, “If you want to get away from the coronavirus you might (want to go to Canada).” Thoughts and prayers are with former Cornwall Royals superstar and NHL Hall of Famer Dale Hawerchuk who is back in his fight against stomach cancer. His son, Eric, tweeted on the weekend that “We are praying for him and he will continue to fight hard.” The 57-year-old Barrie Colts coach was diagnosed with cancer last August and completed chemo treatments in April that followed surgery. At that time it was believed that he had overcome the disease. In a statement issued last week, the Winnipeg Jets said, “We know that all of Jets Nation stands with him. Dale always faced his toughest opponents head-on, and we know this will once again be no different.” In the statement, the Jets, who drafted Hawerchuk first overall as an 18-year-old in the 1981 draft, called him “one of the greatest players to ever wear the Jets uniform.” He was inducted into the hall of fame in 2001.
THIS WEEK 1965 - When it came time to bring a prisoner from the police cells to the upstairs court room there was a little problem. The keys to the cells couldn’t be found. While Magistrate P. C.

and screws, slot, Phillips and Robertson in all diameters of threading. Nuts have to be matched with bolts. There are metric and imperial, coarse and fine, stainless, brass and anodized. Sorting can go on for hours and hours. That being done, each container must be clearly labelled. Just when you think the task has been done, you’ll still have a large container of miscellaneous items, things that defy identification and bolts that have no nuts with matching threads. Want more of a challenge? Try to identify where that collection of orphaned keys and locks with forgotten combinations or without keys came from. Want a break? Spend some time with the boxes, trays, sleeves and binders of unlabelled 8mm, super 8mm, 35 mm negatives, prints,
35 mm slides and SD cards. You’ll see a rogue’s gallery of strangers and an encyclopedia of unidentifiable places. Little babies are virtually impossible to identify, because most look like Winston Churchill. Young adults will beg you to dispose of the photos of them that show the hairdos and clothing styles they sported during their teen years, the kind of embarrassing images that are brought out when a suitor is being introduced to the family, or projected during the wedding reception. To determine the date of a photo requires the skills of an archaeologist, a transportation expert, a fashion devotee and a hair stylist. You’ve got the time, I’ve given you some hints, so get to work! The workplace shutdowns, the school closures and the time of self-isolation may one day come to an end.

Working out of home can save two or more hours per day on commuting time. There are savings of about an hour a day for those same people: men don’t have to shave, women don’t need to obsess about makeup. Stay-at-homes can laugh at the dictates of business attire. Now that self-quarantine, no commuting and no lengthy vacation road trips have made us time millionaires, we are faced with the dilemma of what to do with all those new-found surplus minutes, hours and days. Here’s the first suggestion: pull the stove
and refrigerator away from the wall. The exposed floor space will reveal traces of what has been cooked or spilled or dropped during many years of meal preparation. The floor space vacated by the refrigerator can provide enough lint to be spun into yarn to make a scarf or a face mask. Both areas will uncover by-products and remnants of deceased little creatures that once dwelt in those hidden spaces. “Oh my! I think that’s our little gerbil that disappeared about eight years ago!” Those revealed artifacts will provide many hours of biology, archaeology and culinary arts teaching moments for your school-deprived children. I’m sure the DIY person has a stash of storage containers containing various nuts, bolts
