Masks now mandatory in enclosed public spaces NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.com

CORNWALL, Ontario – Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Chief Medical Officer of Health with the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) announced that on Tuesday, July 7, facemasks would become mandatory.

Dr. Roumeliotis made the announcement in a joint conference call with the health units of Ottawa, Leeds-Grenville and Renfrew on Monday, July 6.

The directive is being made by the Eastern Ontario Health Officers through the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act, (EMPCA) which was implemented by Premier Doug Ford in march in response to the COVID19 pandemic.

Under the new directive, masks will be mandatory in enclosed public spaces.

According to a press release from the EOHU, businesses and non-profits responsible for the enclosed space will be responsible for the adherence to all health unit directives.

Businesses will be required to have a mask policy and public signage.

“The pandemic is not over. We are still seeing hundreds of thousands of cases worldwide, especially in places that opened too soon,” Dr. Roumeliotis explained.

Dr. Roumeliotis explained that most of Ontario had already implemented mandatory masks and why it was important to implement this directive in a regional way.

We are close to each other,” he said. “We have tourists coming back and forth, and it is appropriate that we have a unified approach to that.”

There will be a one-week grace period for those unaware or who refuse to comply with the directive. The grace period will end on July 14.

“If I wear a mask, I protect you. If you wear a mask, you protect me. If we all wear masks, we all protect each other,” said Dr. Roumeliotis. “We want to quell or decrease as much as possible a second wave. We’ve done a good job. Let’s continue doing a good job.”

The Health Units acknowledged that some people are not able to wear masks. Some exemptions to the directive are those under the age of two, those with difficulty breathing, and those who cannot remove a mask on their own.

Faceshields are not considered to be masks under the new regulation, but could be used as an alternative for those who have an exemption from wearing masks.

Dr. Roumeliotis explained the enforcement of this new mandatory mask directive. He explained that fines are possible between $500 to $800.

“Whether we go after someone or fine someone will be a case by case basis, but our first step is to foster an educational approach,” he said.

The EOHU provided the following list of

enclosed public spaces.

These include but are not limited to: • Restaurants, cafés, cafeterias, banquet halls • Retail establishments and shopping malls • Churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, or other places of worship • Libraries, museums, art galleries, recreational facilities, bingo halls, community centres and halls, cinemas, theatres, concert venues, special event venues, convention centers, or other similar entertainment, cultural, or leisure facilities • Sports facilities, sports clubs, gyms, yoga studios, dance studios, and stadiums • Common areas of hotels, motels, or shortterm rental premises such as lobbies, elevators, meeting rooms, rest rooms, laundry rooms, gyms, and kitchens • Public and private transportation including taxis and rideshare services • Common areas of premises under the control of a regulated health professional under the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991, S.O. 1991, c. 18, as amended, such as waiting rooms • Common areas of hospitals and independent health facilities such as lobbies, food courts and retail establishments • Spas, hair salons, barbers, nail salons, and other personal service settings that are subject to health and safety protocols provided by the Province of Ontario during the provincial emergency

• Municipal public spaces The following are NOT considered an “Enclosed Public Space”: • Spaces subject to provincial and/or local public health guidance: • Schools under the Education Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. E.2, as amended • Child care centres and providers governed by the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014, S.O. 2014, c. 11, as amended • Day camps • Offices not open to the public including professional offices where clients receive services not open to public (e.g. lawyer, accountant)

LAMOUREUX Santa Clause Parade each year.”

During his lifetime, Jake’s tireless volunteerism was felt by many throughout the Cornwall community.

“Someone once said that volunteers are the glue that holds a community together,” said current Cornwall Councillor Claude McIntosh. “Jake was a great volunteer.”

Community initiatives that Jake Lamoureux was involved with included the Gerry Benson Golf Tournament, he was President of the Hotel Dieu Hospital Foundation, he supported the Relay for Life in its early years, he was the Vice President of the Children’s Treatment Centre and much more.

“You would need a special section to list all of his accomplishments,” said friend Sean Adams. “If I think of Jake, his legacy is being a part of everything and making Cornwall better. The world would be better with more people like Jake in it.”

Funeral arrangements for Jake Lamoureux have yet to be announced, but will be added here as an update when they become available.

CORNWALL, Ontario – The COVID-19 pandemic has changed a lot of things and has challenged every business. One business that has risen to the occasion is Summerheights Golf Links.

Summerheights owners Rory and Kathy MacLennan explained that since re-opening eight weeks ago things have been running differently, but that everyone is starting to get used to the new normal.

“We are lucky that golf is one of those activities that people can come out and enjoy while observing social distancing,” said Rory MacLennan.

To help keep customers and staff safe, a greeter now meets golfers as they drive up to the clubhouse on busy days to inform them of the new rules, which includes a one-way entrance into the pro-shop, staggered tee times, and information about masks. On quieter days, the starter is the one tasked with sharing this information.

sanitized after each use, only two customers are allowed in the pro-shop at a time, bathrooms are being cleaned between 10 and 12 times a day, and their two courses have a five minute difference between start times.

“This is something that we have never tried before, but it is working out great,” Rory said of the staggered start times.

Despite the pandemic, Kathy MacLennan remarked that the 2020 season seems to be busier than previous years so far.

“We have had a lot of things go our way,” she said.

MacLennan pointed out that along with the nice weather, golfing was something that their customers are able to do outdoors while at a safe social distance. It took a little bit for customers to get used to the changes, they explained, but that things have quickly smoothed out.

“During the first week we were concerned with how it would go,” Rory said. “It was bumpy at first, but it has been smooth as everyone has become used to it.”

CORNWALL, Ontario – Jake Lamoureux was recognized with many accolades over the course of his life, but when a long time friend was asked what they remembered the most about Jake, they said “he never stopped caring.” Over the course of his life, Jake Lamoureux was recognized with the Order of Canada, the Order of Ontario, Citizen of the Year of Cornwall in 1988 and much more. He passed away on the morning of Friday, July 3, 2020. He was 89-years-old.

Former Mayor of Cornwall Brian Sylvester moved to Cornwall in 1981 and worked at the local radio station. He soon met Jake and found in him a mentor and caring friend.

“His entire lifetime he gave back to the community,” Sylvester said. “When he wasn’t working, he was always finding new ways to give back.”

When Sylvester left the world of radio, he came to work in the insurance and financial sector. Jake Lamoureux was the manager of Met Life in Cornwall at the time and took Sylvester under his wing.

“He was highly regarded in the insurance industry,” Sylvester explained. “He took me under his wing and I consider him my mentor.

I grew as an individual as well.”

Sylvester remembered working with Jake on many charitable campaigns, including the years during which Jake chaired the United Way’s annual fundraising campaign. Sylvester said that his sympathies went out to Jake’s family and friends.

“I had the opportunity to serve on the Cornwall Chamber of Commerce Board with Jake and he was so committed to Cornwall and the business community,” said Past Chamber President Rick Shaver, “Over my terms I served with Jake and his sister Loraine,who owned McDonald’s at the time.

Waterfront trail in French is piste cyclable – and I can’t count how many times I’ve said those words!

I had the pleasure of joining the Cornwall Tourism team at an outdoor adventure fair in Montreal last year. We spoke to hundreds of people about our region, telling them about fishing, diving, and yes – biking.

These outdoor enthusiasts were so excited to hear about our “piste cyclable.”

They wanted to know about the safety of the path – how a long portion of the trail is separate from the road. They wanted to know about the views – so we told them about the mighty St. Lawrence River. They wanted to know about amenities nearby – so we described our vibrant downtown and Le Village restaurants and businesses.

The fact is, the waterfront trail is an asset for all of us to enjoy – even if we’ve lived next to it all our lives. More and more residents are re-discovering City bike paths and parks while other entertainment options are closed due to COVID-19.

While you’re out exploring this summer, keep an eye out for these features along the St. Lawrence River: New docks at the Lamoureux Park and Guindon Park boat launches, Edible gardens behind the bandshell, Water stations throughout the path, and Recycling bins (don’t forget to sort properly!)

I’d also recommend that you meander up Pitt Street to check out the bright picnic tables City staff have painted, and to enjoy whichever business, artist, or non-profit is occupying the painted seacans that are acting as pop-up shops this summer.

While more and more people are becoming tourists in their own communities, I feel lucky to live in a city with so much to offer – and to work alongside a team of staff who care about making these spaces inviting, clean, and beautiful.

Hello again Cornwall! It has been a learning process while we are re-opening and resuming our day-to-day operations and our community has been nothing short of amazing during this time. Last month I wrote about how our programs have shifted to virtual mentorship as the new norm due to COVID; I broke down what the program entails and how to become a volunteer virtually. After this article I had such an influx of applications for volunteers I was almost speechless (those who know me know this doesn’t happen often). I have been busy getting some of these volunteers through the application process so we can begin some new matches and I often find myself just smiling because of this.

We here at Big Brothers Big Sisters are just so grateful to our community for continuously supporting us, but more importantly the children in our community; because of this influx I will be able to hopefully take some of the children who are on the waiting list off and finally match them with their ‘Big’. What I’m really looking to say here and having difficulty with is finding the words to say is from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU. This being said, we are of course still always looking for volunteers as we have 150+ children in our community waiting for their mentor. Becoming a volunteer can currently be done virtually; the process remains the same just respecting our physical distance. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer please contact me by calling our office at 613-9338035 or by email at kelsey.jeaurond@ bigbrothersbigsisters.ca. What we strive for here at Big Brothers Big Sisters is that every child who needs a mentor will have a mentor and we can’t do that without you.

South Glengarry weighs regional approach to water billing NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.com

SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – The Township Council of South Glengarry had mixed feelings about combining the Lancaster and Glen Walter water systems into one administrative region at their meeting on Monday, July 6, 2020.

The topic was a part of an overall review of South Glengarry’s water billing process as presented by Marco Vincelli of EVB Engineering.

Vincelli explained that by combining the two systems administratively, each region could see a decrease in their projected billing.

According to EVB, Glen Walter’s reserve

fund for the maintenance of their system is currently 11 per cent underfunded, while the Lancaster system is 13 per cent over funded.

Currently, if the systems remain separate, EVB recommends that Glen Walter’s rates increase by three per cent a year for the next five years, increasing the annual residential water rate from $1077.18 in 2020 to $1,248.75 in 2025.

For Lancaster however, EVB is recommending a 20 per cent decrease in Lancaster in 2021, then three per cent increase over following three years.

Combined however, Glen Walter would see a three per cent decrease in 2021, and Lancaster would see a 5.46 per cent

decrease in the same year.

Council found itself divided on the concept.

“I don’t think the reserve rates in Glen Walter and Lancaster are healthy,” Deputy Mayor Lyle Warden commented. “The Glen Walter pump is on the docket. That will wipe out that $800,000 reserve or close to it. I’m definitely not in favour of a regional approach.

You are going to be pitting one group against the other per say.”

Councillor Stephanie Jaworski however, saw potential in the idea.

“I think there is merit in a regional approach. Spreading around the administration, spreading around the risk,” said Councillor Jaworski. “I think generally we

should be getting public consultation on this.”

What was agreed upon was that Council consult with the public before voting on the possible administrative combination of the Glen Walter and Lancaster water and waste water systems.

Of note however, EVB did compare the two systems, and their costs to other regional municipalities. Both Lancaster and Glen Walter had the lowest number of users and lowest amount of volume in the region in relation to comparators, but had the highest costs for new connections at $10,560 in both locations. The connection costs for Lancaster and Glen Walter are double the closest comparator, North Dundas, which charges $5,223 for a new connection.

I’m an expert about getting older Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

Most of my writing is based upon firsthand experience. In this case, my topic is about the challenges of getting old, so I have to rely upon second-hand sources, old people around me. They tell me getting old can be a challenge and has very few advantages.

The following of some of the trials and predicaments they associate with aging.

Jar lids are on ever so tightly! One could starve to death if no muscle-bound grandson shows up to wrestle with unopenable jar of grey Poupon, Marmite, caviar or artichokes.

The six-year-old grandchildren are crucial to teaching oldtimers how to use

them new-fangled ‘devices’ such as FaceTime, Snapchat, iPad, Netflix or GPS. When ‘Tablet’ is mentioned, seniors are reminded to take theirs twice a day, after meals.

The senior’s 44-pound canoe purchased just a couple of decades ago somehow almost doubles its weight. That’s especially likely to happen when it has to be grunted onto the roof of a VW Westfalia van. By the way, it is believed that these vehicles also seem to increase in height as they age. A corollary of this: the height of seniors decreases with age.

The best way for a senior to find out what day it is, and whether it’s morning or evening, is to check the pill dispenser to see what compartments are empty.

Actually, for most who are over 65, every day is Saturday.

become smaller and smaller. The text on highway signs has also shrunk.

“How are you?” used to be just a polite greeting, not a request for a full medical report. Do you like organ recitals? Seniors give ‘organ recitals’ when they exchange the latest news with each other. They describe the condition of each of their organs: heart, lungs, liver, prostate, kidney, bladder...

The contact list in a young adult’s little black book or Smartphone is a compendium of past, present and future hot dates. For those of the so-called ‘golden years’, it’s doctors, dentists, pharmacists, lawyers and physiotherapists.

How did I manage to amass this vast wealth of info about seniors? As I said at the beginning, I certainly didn’t acquire it from first-hand experience. I’m not old yet.

I get it second-hand from my old friends.

Restaurant portions that were never large enough to satisfy are now so generous that the server has to provide a doggy bag. That’s why most seniors’ dogs are over-fed and over-weight.

The old folks tell me that taking the stairway to get to the fifth floor used to be faster than taking the elevator. They tell me that now, the wait for the elevator door to open can be a trying hardship if the reason for the hurried ascent to the fifthfloor apartment is due to an urgent need to use the facilities.

It’s puzzling to find that guest speakers at talks and ministers at services always speak far too softly.

As seniors age, they are annoyed that the print size in books and magazines has

Le port du masque, un supplément aux autres mesures pour limiter la propagation de la COVID-19 Le BSEO souhaite rappeler aux résidents qu’alors que le port du masque ou d’un couvre-visage peut aider à prévenir la propagation de gouttelettes respiratoires infectieuses, ce n’est pas un substitut à la distanciation physique et à l’hygiène des mains. « En plus de porter un masque, il est aussi très important de continuer de bien se laver les mains et, dans la mesure du possible, de garder une distance d’au moins 2 mètres des autres personnes quand vous êtes en public », fait valoir le Dr Roumeliotis.

Il ajoute que des renseignements sur l’utilisation appropriée du masque ainsi que d’autres conseils pour vous protéger contre la COVID-19 sont disponibles sur le site Web du BSEO à www.BSEO.ca/coronavirus ou sur celui du gouvernement provincial à covid-19. ontario.ca.

NATION SUD, Ontario - En raison d’un printemps plus sec que d’habitude, de températures chaudes persistantes et d’un manque de précipitations, la Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) a émis le niveau I de bas niveau d’eau pour son bassin versant dans l’Est de l’Ontario.

Les conditions de bas niveau d’eau sont déterminées sur la base des données recueillies par les pluviomètres et les jauges des cours d’eau dans l’ensemble du bassin versant. Les registres indiquent que les précipitations au cours des trois derniers mois ont été d’au moins 80 % inférieures à la normale.

Lorsque la région est au niveau I, la CNS demande aux résidents, aux entreprises et aux autres industries de réduire leur consommation d’eau de 10 % afin de contribuer à atténuer les effets des conditions de bas niveau d’eau. On peut réduire la consommation d’eau en limitant les utilisations non essentielles d’eau comme l’arrosage de pelouses ou le lavage de véhicules.

Le niveau I, parmi les trois degrés de bas niveau d’eau, indique qu’il existe un problème potentiel d’approvisionnement en eau si les tendances actuelles en matière de précipitations et de débit des cours d’eau persistent.

Le niveau II indique que des problèmes mineurs d’approvisionnement en eau sont constatés, et que des mesures telles que la conservation d’eau et la restriction de consommation non essentielle d’eau sont adoptées, et le niveau III indique que le système d’approvisionnement en eau ne peut plus répondre à la demande.

La CNS travaille avec ses 16 municipalités membres pour surveiller le débit des cours d’eau, les précipitations et l’approvisionnement en eau, dans le cadre du Programme d’intervention en cas de bas niveau d’eau mandaté par la province. La CNS continuera de surveiller l’état du bassin versant et communiquera des mises à jour au besoin.

Afin de mieux comprendre les conditions locales, les propriétaires fonciers, les entreprises et les industries sont invités à contacter la CNS s’ils rencontrent des problèmes inhabituels liés à l’eau.

Pour plus d’informations sur le Programme d’intervention en cas de bas niveau d’eau et les conditions actuelles du bassin versant, consultez le site Web de la CNS à l’adresse www.nation.on.ca.

Pour plus d’informations, veuillez contacter Sandra Mancini, Chef d’équipe, Ingénieurie, au 1-877-984-2948, smancini@nation.on.ca.

Don’t get complacent, wear a mask NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.com

As of time of writing, Cornwall has three active cases of COVID-19 in the city. Last week, we had our first positive test in over a week. Our neighbouring municipalities of SD&G are seeing a similar flattening of the curve.

Despite what seems to be good news, Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Chief Medical Officer of Health with the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) announced last week that he will be making masks mandatory in the region.

When this story broke, there was outrage from some on social media.

Commenters pointed out that we have a low number of cases here, especially when compared to two months ago, and that we are not facing an outbreak like our Southern neighbours.

The answer to the first point is that I believe that Dr. Paul has wanted to implement mandatory masks for awhile but had hoped that the province would introduce a blanket mandate, and he even said as much during his last conference call with the media.

Secondly, if we do not want to become like the United States, we should still be taking every precaution.

Yes, the U.S. border is closed, but there is some limited travel for limited reasons, such as commercial.

Do not forget, that this pandemic

started with a single person. One person was patient zero. The first person to contract COVID-19 has spread it to millions and hundreds of thousands are now dead.

In the United States, they have flattened the curve, some states have flattened it vertically. It is going straight up.

The state of Florida this past weekend was recording over 10,000 new cases of COVID-19 daily. This is a disaster and we should learn from their mistakes.

Finally, every medical professional I have talked to, and I know a few, have all said the same thing with near dead certainty “there is going to be a second wave.”

Many who believe there will be a second wave think that it will hit us in the fall, and that it will be more widespread and deadly than the first wave from the spring.

If this prediction proves to be true, then that means that this pandemic will follow the same pattern as the 1918 flu.

Does anyone know 100 per cent for sure what will happen this fall? No. Until this thing passes, or a vaccine exists, all we can do is wait and prepare. The attitude of the medical community is that we should do all that we can to prepare and take every measure, even if nothing ends up happening. I agree with this assertion because I believe that saving lives is more important than saving our economy and definitely more important

than the small inconvenience of wearing a mask in public.

I have seen some comments that being mandated to wear a mask is a violation of civil liberties and means that “this isn’t a free country anymore.”

We are mandated to wear seatbelts because it saves lives, we are mandated to stop at stop lights because it saves lives, and so do masks. These things are mandated because they are proven to protect us and those around us.

Dr. Paul will be introducing mandatory masks in public and especially indoor public places at the exact same time as the health units in Leeds-Grenville and Ottawa. We are not the only ones doing this and for good reason. If there is someone who frequently travels to

Ottawa to Cornwall or Brockville to Cornwall, we do not want them contracting COVID while they are here, or possibly spreading it.

I know that in previous columns earlier in this pandemic, I wrote that only medical professionals will need to wear masks. This information was shared with the media by Dr. Paul. Information about COVID-19 has evolved a lot since then, and so has Dr. Paul’s stance, and so has mine. Bottom line, our medical officials are doing all that they can to protect us, which in turn will mean we will get through this and get back to normal faster. Wear a mask now, so we don’t have to return to a lockdown.

most moments. You are a strong woman.”

“When all this started” he said, “I asked myself ‘Who do I want to be while this is happening? Do I want to be the one to pull everyone down, or lift everyone up?”

And now I’m asking myself that same question: who do I want to be? I don’t have the luxury of waiting another week to answer this. I have 2 little faces that rely on me every day, to help them get the most out of their OWN days. So I’m here: I am going to be the person that I need right now. The support system for the one that feels like they are falling apart. The shoulder, for the person who is locking themselves in the washroom to cry with privacy. The laughter, (yes I can be funny) for the person who’s had nothing but bad news lately.

I’m exhausted with the bad news. I’m exhausted with the uncertainty. I have (almost) come to terms with the fact that our leaders have no idea what they are doing, and that I can’t change their decisions. But I am done giving others so much power over my happiness, and what I am doing.

The world is a mess right now, and we are all victims of circumstance, but we have to gather any bit of strength that we can find in ourselves and reclaim our lives.

It’s time to take that moment, whether you’re crying in the washroom behind a locked door, or catching yourself laughing with joy, and ask yourself: while the world is in chaos around you, who do YOU want to be?

"GUEST BLOG IN PRINT"

Who do you want to be HELEN KARITSIOTIS SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS

This morning I locked myself in the washroom and cried. And I criiied and I cried. We are 3 months into a pandemic, into uncertainty about our future, into forced lockdowns of our businesses and isolation from loved ones. Daily contradictory information has us not knowing what to believe.

Today I felt a vaguely familiar feeling deep down low in my tummy…anxiety.

And so I cried.

I haven’t felt that feeling in over a year.

Truthfully, I haven’t always had a battle with anxiety. There were a few months a couple of years ago where it was wreaking havoc on my life, but I managed to get my

mind clear. But does anxiety ever disappear?

I am one of the strongest women I know.

It’s true, I’m not just saying it. But sometimes, even the strongest falter, and need to make decisions as to who they want to be. I want to be a good mother, and so rather than bury my head in my pillow, I force myself to my feet. The past 2 days, that has been a struggle. Anxiety.

I want to be successful. And so I’m wrapping up my pity party immediately. It was during a Facetime call with my brother that it became clear as day that this year is only half done, and I need to decide WHO I WANT TO BE. “You’re strong,” he said to me, in the surprising instant when I lost myself and was crying with vulnerability. “Maybe not in this moment, but in

MYTH BUSTING: One of the myths running wild on the internet since 2012 is that Tom Hanks’ father was a member of The Diamonds singing group circa 1950s and 60s. Not true. In his biography, the Hollywood mega star talks about his father Amos working as an “itinerant cook” who moved around the United States with family in tow a lot. The Diamond’s lead singer, who does bear a resemblance to the actor, was Dave Somerville, a Canadian who grew up in Guelph. His obituary made no mention of a connection to the actor.

It has taken about 220 years but the past has caught up with Russell Township about an hour’s drive, via the “back way”, northwest of Cornwall.

After it was discovered that the township’s namesake, Peter Russell, was a slave owner, a campaign to get rid of the name was launched. Russell, a member of the British upper crust, was the country’s receiver general in the 1700s. He not only owned slaves but opposed freeing them.

For most residents of Russell, this is kind of like finding out the nice person living on the same street for the past 50 years is a serial killer.

A name change will cast a wide net. Next up is the problem with the federal and provincial ridings, both named GlengarryPrescott-Russell. Then there are organizations and businesses with the name.

Do residents with the surname Russell apply for a name change? Have we seen the last baby boy born to a township mother given the name Russell?

Meanwhile, North and South Dundas might have a problematic name dilemma.

According to a history of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry by John Graham Harkness, Dundas was named after Henry Dundas, prominent politician who was treasurer of the British Navy from 1783 to 1801. He was a close friend of John Graves Simcoe, a British Army general who was the first lieutenant-governor of Upper Canada.

Dundas not only opposed the abolition of slavery in the British Empire, but was a slave owner.

In Toronto, the move is on to rename Dundas Street. Then there is the municipality of Dundas in southern Ontario.

If Dundas’s name is shipped off to history’s trash can, what about not only North and South Dundas, but everything else that

includes the name, such as the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry and the SD and G Highlanders?

There is an endless list.

Stay tuned. We are on the cusp of a national rebranding revolution.

LOOKING BACK: 1975 It is rare for a judge to agree with the prosecution’s call for a maximum sentence but this week in 1975 that was what happened when a 24-year-old Cornwall man, with a lengthy rap sheet, was found guilty of criminal negligence causing injury.

Assistant Crown Attorney Don Johnson, in going for the jugular, said the man deserved the maximum five years. In fact, the tough-talking prosecutor said if the maximum was 10 years, he’d be going for it.

The accused was driving a stolen car that went out of control, up on the sidewalk and struck a 16-year-old student walking home from school. She suffered serious injuries.

He was fleeing police.

Judge Michael Fitzpatrick agreed the maximum was warranted.

Johnson pointed out that the five-yearsentence would kick in when the man finished a three-year sentence he was serving at Joyceville Institution plus any additional time for being at large. A warrant had been put out for his arrest when he failed to return to the slammer after being given a weekend pass.

ALSO THIS WEEK IN 1975: A survey showed that there was one medical doctor for every 800 Stormont County residents and one dentist for every 4,392 residents.

It was better than Dundas which had one medical doctor for every 1,967 residents and one dentist for every 4,350 residents.

Glengarry had one doctor for every 1,423 residents and no dentists. .... The city had its first transit strike since 1948 when the 21 drivers walked off the job. Mayor Gerald Parisien said the city had submitted its final offer. ... The new $147,000 pool at Glenview Heights was open. ... Five area men were honoured by the Royal Canadian

Joan, a Cornwall resident is 92 years old, and this year, on July 1st, she celebrated her 63rd anniversary of emigrating to Canada from England. Joan and her Great news! It is now mandatory to wear a husband, Vernon, emigrated to Canada in mask in enclosed areas. This can save many 1957. “I recall how exciting it was to move lives. Now, all we need is someone to teach to a new country” explains Joan. “It was people how to wear them. an adventure.”

I read the note how the OTTAWA Police are targeting street racers and noisy vehicles in a new initiative. And maybe Cornwall should do the same. YES I agree that Cornwall should do the same. Come on over St. Felix and see the noisy vehicles and the street racers its SO BAD that they need to install a speed bump.

Its not only racers but some of the people are noisy. Come on over any evening and hear the noise between 6 pm & 12am.

Thank you to Laura who works at Cole’s Book Store for being so honest and giving me my money back that I had lost. It’s good to know there are still good people in this world.

Thanks again Laura.

SEAWAY NEWS PET CORNER

JOKE OF THE WEEK

A man was driving down the road when a policeman stopped him. The officer looked in the back of the man’s truck and said, “Why are these penguins in your truck?”

The man replied, “These are my penguins.

They belong to me.”

“You need to take them to the zoo,” the policeman said.

The next day, the officer saw the same guy driving down the road. He pulled him over again. He saw the penguins were still in the truck, but they were wearing sunglasses this time. “I thought I told you to take these penguins to the zoo!” the officer said.

“I did,” the man replied. “And today I’m taking them to the beach.”

No summer vacation trips means that there are plenty of opportunities to explore the wonders in our own backyard. Cornwall and the United Counties of SD&G are home to some great features, including wineries, breweries, great restaurants with beautiful patios and more.

Dave Murphy at Big Brothers/ Big Sisters recently had a total head shave for a good cause. He and Ron Graham raised nearly $10,000 for the non-profit. Careful though Dave, you’re going to have to get used to not having that padding on top of your head.

Liquid bleach is the old standby, having earned its place in the laundry room, bathroom, and kitchen for whitening and removing stains and mildew. But chlorine bleach has its problems, too. The telltale signs of misuse or overuse is faded color or white spots and fabrics that have faded. Non-chlorine bleach promises the benefits of chlorine bleach without the risk.

PHASE 2 NOW OPEN

Stepping out of the boundaries of “normal”

Behind the scenes with EOTB, CFDC and CREATE LESLIE THOMPSON

& SIMON McLINDEN

something different had to be done. We dared to dream big and expect more from ourselves.

As community builders, it is necessary to be ever-changing, always evolving and continually trying new things. This fearlessness requires a thick skin. Anyone who steps outside the boundaries of ‘normal’ and takes risks is opening themselves up to criticismbut ask yourself, what has ‘normal’ gotten us?

Through this undertaking built on the foundation of collaboration and trust, we have learned a lot, we have shifted and pivoted as necessary and we have accomplished much together. Important elements of the larger project are now underway such as the EOTB’s

Newcomers Welcome Centre opening this summer, CREATE’s Makerspace equipment which was purchased this spring, Launch Lab’s Entrepreneur In Residence Services that are active and running and the CFDC’s Technology Innovation Program launched in late spring. These programs have together been able to access over $1.6M in funding for this community from both provincial and federal sources and there is more to come.

As these parts of the bigger puzzle become live and accessible to our community, we are collectively eager to showcase the new work we have begun. Come visit our column next week where we showcase the work of the EOTB’s Newcomer Welcome Centre.

16 - Wednesday, July 8, 2020

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

It was about this time last year that CREATE, EOTB and CFDC made public their intention to embark on a massive undertaking; that was to partner together, with similarly mandated organizations to build out an

entirely new technology-based economic and workforce development eco-system which would be sector based and leverage emerging technologies to attract and retain talent by supporting and creating better job opportunities for our residents and newcomers to our region. Just saying that is a mouthful…

One can then imagine the difficulty in creating such a thing from scratch or comprehensively articulating it to the public that we serve.

The collaboration necessary, the resources of every kind (and sometimes) the dumb luck needed to get such an undertaking off the ground is not to be understated. The over 40 volunteers behind the project knew it would be extremely difficult but understood that
