Radiothon supports a centre of the community NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
CORNWALL, Ontario - A hospital faces high demands to serve its community in the best of times, and staff always rise to the occasion. The staff at the Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) have gone above and beyond because of COVID-19. On Thursday, Aug. 20, the CCH in partnership with Corus, will be holding their annual Radiothon to help ensure that the CCH and its staff members can continue to serve the community, even through a pandemic. The CCH is the only hospital in the region with a Critical Care Unit (CCU) and ventilator capacity. This unit worked hard to help COVID-19 patients recover. Since March the CCU has seen multiple cases of COVID, and each and every one of those patients made a recovery. One such patient, who we will call Marie for the sake of her privacy, contracted COVID-19 after a trip to Florida this past March. “We came back when the government instructed all Canadians to return, but I started feeling unwell early on during my quarantine at home,” she said. After she was assessed with COVID, her oxygen levels were found to be low and she was checked into the Hawkesbury General Hospital. Marie’s condition continued to deteriorate however, which is when she was transferred to the CCH. Once at the CCH, Marie was put on a ventilator, and was in a coma for threeand-a-half weeks. When she awoke and the ventilator was removed, she quickly saw for herself that she was in good, kind, and caring hands. Her nurse, who Marie refers to as “my angel” ensured that her stay was comfortable. “After I had the ventilator removed, all I wanted were popsicles, and she made sure I had some,” said Marie. As her condition improved, Marie was transferred back to the Hawkesbury General Hospital. A big Beatles fan, as she was being discharged, CCH staff members played “Here Comes the Sun” and clapped and cheered for her. It was an emotional moment for both patient and caregiver. “I am extremely grateful for the care I received, and for the staff who saved my life,” she said. The CCH’s ability to deal with complex cases, such as COVID-19, comes down to the equipment at the CCH and the training of their staff. “CCH is the only hospital outside of Ottawa in our region with ventilator capacity,” said Jeanette Despatie, President and CEO, of the CCH. “Our physicians and staff have trained extensively to help give patients like Marie the best chance at
recovery. We are proud to offer this life-saving equipment and important medical expertise, especially during the pandemic.” The Corus Caring Hearts Radiothon is the biggest fundraiser for the Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation (CCHF) and helps ensure that the CCH can continue to help its community and patients like Marie. The Radiothon will be held virtually this year from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Aug. 20 with six donation drop off locations across Cornwall and SD&G. Donations can be dropped off at the following locations between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Aug. 20: Rozon Insurance, 150 Military Road, Lancaster – drop-off box at Main Entrance. Dairy Queen Cornwall – Top up your order with a donation at Drive-Thru or cash. And, if you order Dairy Queen’s Cotton Candy dipped ice cream cone on Radiothon Day, those funds will go directly to the hospital. Starbucks Cornwall – Drive-Thru station. RE/MAX Cornwall, 649 Second Street East – Drive-Thru station. O’Neill’s Pub, 29 Long Sault Drive, Long Sault – Drive-Thru station. Fine’s Home Hardware, 9 Thorold Ln, Ingleside – Drive-Thru station. Donations can also be made online at cornwallhospitalfoundation.ca or by phone at 613-865-7200. All donations over $20 will receive a tax receipt through the mail. Nolan Quinn of Dairy Queen Cornwall explained why he feels supporting the CCH is so important. “The more we can be giving to our hospital the better it can serve our community,” he explained. “The hospital is the centre of our community.” During the pandemic, Dairy Queen Cornwall provided free ice cream to CCH staff. On Thursday, Aug. 20, Dairy Queen Cornwall will be encouraging customers to round up to the nearest dollar on their purchase with those extra funds going to the CCHF, as well 100 per cent of the cost of all cotton candy dip cones sold that day will also be donated. “I’ve been fortunate to have a bird’s-eyeview of the herculean preparation and commitment to patient care at CCH during this difficult time,” said Amy Gillespie, Executive Director at Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation. “It’s not easy for anyone, and there’s so much going on behind the scenes at the hospital. Patients like Marie remind us why we raise funds for local healthcare. Our Radiothon might look different this year, but there’s no better time to support CCH.”

Farm Boy to sell Cornwall greens NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall company Fieldless Farms will soon see their products on Farm Boy shelves. Farm Boy itself was founded in the City of Cornwall has made a deal with the Agricultural start-up which aims to have fresh produce on their shelves year round with less dependence on foreign imports. “Canada imports $48 billion worth of food each year. We rely on other nations to feed us, and it’s risky—consider the supply chain impacts of Covid-19 an early warning,” said Fieldless Farms CEO Jon Lomow in an article from Choose Cornwall. “Thankfully, it presents a massive economic opportunity for the country. New technologies are unlocking possibilities for safer, more secure and sustainable food to be produced in Canada, 365
days a year. Forward-thinking, discerning and trusted retailers like Farm Boy will be crucial early partners in making that happen.” The company has an indoor farm in the Cornwall Business Park that produces leafy greens without the use of pesticides or herbicides. This local initiative could represent a shift in the agricultural produce market. Canada imports 90 per cent of its lettuce from the Southern United States, and recent years have seen multiple recalls of leafy green products. Fieldless Farms aims to reduce this reliance on imports while also endeavouring to provide a safer product. “We’ve tailored our approach to meet the needs of large retailers and to displace foreign supply, so it’s great to see a retailer like Farm Boy get excited about what we’re doing,”

Farm Boy will be carrying the “Northern said Lomow. “Grocers are looking for secure, short and affordable supply chains they can Crunch” and “Ontario Sweets” Fieldless trust. But, at the end of the day, it’s about the Farms products in their stores in Cornwall, quality and freshness of the product for con- Kingston and Ottawa. sumers, and ours is hard to beat.”

Council approves recreation fee increase GREG PEERENBOOM SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS CORNWALL, Ontario – On Monday Cornwall Council approved a 1.8 per cent fee increase for all municipal recreation users and to continue existing subsidies in 2021. The 1.8 percent increase is be identical to the fee increases for years 2017 to 2019. But for those years, the increase did not require council to approve it. The annual increases were established to automatically occur as part of a 2015 user fee policy and recreation user fees review. However, this year the decision of how much the city should charge leagues, organizations and individuals rests with council. Setting a new fee structure falls normally
under the duty of the recreation advisory committee, said recreation manager James Fawthrop in a report to council. Except that, currently this committee does not exist. And its rebirth won’t occur until a new recreation master plan, currently being worked out, is completed. Unfortunately, completion of the master plan has been delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, but Fawthrop predicts updating the plan will conclude during the fall and be sent to council for approval. Once a new committee is up and running, one of its main objectives will be to review the user and recreation fees. If the fees are set for 2021, the committee would recommend a new fee schedule for the next four years starting in 2022.

LONG SAULT, Ontario – Mary Lafave started out making just one mask, to help her daughter who had a doctors appointment in Ottawa. Since she made that first mask back in March, she has made dozens more. Now Mary donated enough to her niece Alison Eamon, to ensure that every student in her Kindergarten class at Longue Sault Public can have one. While students in Grade 3 and under will not be required to wear masks in the fall, Mary said that she thought perhaps it could help to get them started early. The masks Mary makes are two pieces of 100 per cent cotton sewn together with a polypropylene filter in the middle and a piece of elastic.
“My happy place is behind my sewing machine at the moment,” Mary said. “This has given me purpose throughout all of this COVID stuff.” Mary has made masks for all of her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and other relatives. For her part, Alison has stated that she will send her 26 students home with masks and it will be up to parents if they want their child wearing one. As a teacher, Alison will be required to wear a mask come the fall. Alison explained that in addition to masks, there are other changes that can be expected in the classroom because of COVID-19. “Kindergarten is a very play based program,” she said. “I think getting outside in fresh air as often as possible will be the best way to keep them safe.”

The definition of a compromise NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
8 - Wednesday, August 19, 2020
- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com
Last Monday, Cornwall City Council passed a new Burn By-law. This comes after nearly a year since the old by-law was repealed. It was a year of passionate arguments, public engagement, and council debate. The issue not only divided council, but it divided the City too, with neighbours on different sides of the argument. Some felt it was their fundamental right to have a wood fire in their backyard, while others felt it was their fundamental right to be able to enjoy their property without having to endure waves of smoke, which are harmful to those with breathing issues. The reaction to this by-law has been mixed on both sides of the debate. The by-law requires that fires burn clean wood, which shouldn’t produce a lot of smoke, and be at least seven-and-a-half meters away from buildings. This increases the minimum distance from the five meters set out in the last by-law and could exclude many properties from being able to have wood fires at all. On the other side of the argument, there are still over 4,000 homes in Cornwall that will be able to have wood fires. This by-law does have some enforcement measures, such has property owners being charged service fees if the fire department has to respond to a complaint on the property, but it seems more reactive than preventative and I don’t doubt that there will be violations early and often. I am sure that the seven-and-a-half meter restriction will be ignored, as will the requirement to burn clean wood. Is this by-law a compromise? Yes, neither side is fully happy, and both
sides have had to give a little, but I don’t feel that it is an equal compromise. The old by-law had no consideration for residents who wished to enjoy their property smoke free, this by-law at least gives them some recourse, but ultimately it is complaint driven, meaning that something can only be done after a problem occurs and it is up to the complainant to push to resolve the issue. I think that if I wanted to have a wood burning fire in my backyard, with wet green wood, in close proximity to my neighbours, I think I would probably get away with it. What this by-law needed was one additional measure to be included, one that Councillor Todd Bennett brought up prior to voting in favour of the law. Bennett suggested that those who enjoy having a fire in their backyard transition from wood burning, to a gas firepit, as he did. This should have been in the by-law. The by-law should have a sunset clause written in stating that within two or three years, all wood fires are phased out in favour of gas fires. Gas fires do not create the obnoxious and noxious smoke, which is what is at issue here. The pro-fire side of the debate obviously still want to have their backyard fires, which they still can with gas. While they may not want to have to pay to upgrade their firepits, the City might be able to help offset the cost. Burn permits are still required to be purchased from the City in order to have an open air burning at all, that money should be set aside in a fund which could be used to help and encourage residents to convert to gas fires. This is a good neighbour issue. In a city we live close together, and we all have the same rights to enjoy our property, and if someone wants to enjoy their property without smoke, then they should absolutely be able to. “A resident advised me this is the first summer they can sit on their back deck,” Councillor Glen Grant said on Monday. “They haven’t been able to sit out and enjoy their property in seven years.” What do you think readers? Should wood fires be phased out? If you received a subsidy to convert to gas, would you? Email me a Letter to the Editor with your opinion to nseebruch@seawaynews.media

during a bombing mission over German in March, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Ross-Ross of 516 Sydney St. received the dreaded telegram from the war department on Aug. 20, 1945. The war department confirmed that he had been killed along with three other members of the crew. All were buried in a German cemetery. The RCAF pilot had been reported missing in action, raising hope he had survived. ALSO THIS WEEK IN 1945 -Mayor Aaron Horovitz announced that the Wartime Housing office had agreed to build 50 homes on the old fairgrounds just north of Ninth Street. Veterans would receive preference to rent the homes. Monthly rents would be $22 for two-bedrooms, $27 for three bedrooms and $28 for four bedrooms. The city would have the option to purchase each home for $1,000. ... The crew of HMCS Longueuil that put into port in Vancouver included three Cornwall men. They were Bernard Asselin, Gordon Primm and Rudolph Sauve. ... Pilot Officer John Robert MacDonell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald MacDonell, was back in Canada after serving almost four years with a bomber squadron. During his tour he flew in 39 missions over Germany and Norway. ... L/Cpl. C. J. Moise of Cornwall and Spr. Leslie Armstrong of Lunenburg returned to Canada aboard the hospital ship Lady Nelson. Spr. Ar mstrong’s brother, Percy, remained in a British hospital. ... Cornwall’s 110-year-old fire department was now made up of 13 permanent firefighters supported by 15 volunteers. ... The new Family Allowance Benefit was good news for one Cornwall family. With 10 of their 11 children under the age of 16, Mr. and Mrs. J. Palmer of 70 Eleventh St. E., would receive $46 a month. Mr. Palmer said the first cheque was put to good use when some of it was used to pay a hospital medical bill after a son injured his foot. Under the Family Allowance Act, to receive the funding, children
had to be enrolled in school. 1945 (Part two) - City businessman Lloyd Gallinger, owner of Gallinger Electric Co., purchased the Bousquet/Smith property on the northwest corner of Third and Pitt Streets. Prior to the property becoming the Bousquet/Smith property in 1929 it was home to the Empire Hotel. ...

They had been granted temporary work permits to help fill the manpower shortage at the aluminum plant. ... Alexandria town council passed a bylaw that replaced the town police with the Ontario Provincial Police. The OPP planned to keep three permanent officers in the town. THERE AND THERE Interesting how Bill Clinton keeps getting a free pass from the #MeToo movement every time an allegation of sexual misconduct is made against him. The latest is the allegation by a woman who claims she was used as a teen-age sex slave on Jeffrey Epstein’s island hangout and that Clinton and Prince Andrew were among the high profile men who were frequent guests. ... Two hours before Mille Roches beach on the Long Sault Parkway opened on a Saturday morning 21 cars with Quebec plates were lined up at the entrance. Just a thought: Do they not have beaches in Quebec? TRIVIA ANSWER The Galaxy Theatre opened in May 2002. The main attraction was Spiderman.

Baby Boomers will recall lining up in the school gym for a vaccine developed to combat a dangerous and dreaded virus that left tens of thousands of young victims crippled for life and forced into wheelchairs or having to use crutches and leg-braces. They were the lucky ones. The virus also killed. It was called polio and until 1955 when Jonas Salk, an American virologist, found the anti-polio vaccine that bore his name, it went unchecked. No one knew how it was spread or how to rein it in. It was especially lethal in the hot summer months which made public swimming pools and swimming holes, such as Cornwall Canal, suspect. It was said that the only thing more feared than polio was the atomic bomb. Unlike today with billions of dollars in profit on the line for the drug company that comes up with a COVID-19 vaccine, Salk didn’t seek to patent the discovery and never made a dime from sale of the vaccine. Unlike COVID-19, polio preyed on youngsters. Those under five were most at risk. Many of its victims were placed in a coffin-like contraption called an iron lung which kept the lungs working. Life in an iron lung could last a few weeks to several months. Polio peaked in Canada in the early 1950s. The government rushed to build iron lungs. The last major polio outbreak in Canada was in 1959 but it was blunted by the Salk vaccine that was administered to all school children. By 1994, the country was declared polio free. GLENGARRY CROWNED A KING Canada’s longest serving prime minister, the eccentric Mackenzie King, probably didn’t pay much attention to Glengarry Riding during his record run.
Not until he needed a seat in the House of Commons after losing Prince Albert riding in the 1945 general election which reduced the ruling Liberals to a minority government. King and the Liberals needed a safe seat, one that guaranteed an easy victory. They didn’t have to look far. About a 90-minute drive from Parliament Hill was one of the safest (for the Liberals) seats in the country. So, on Aug. 21, 1945, just days after winning the vacant Glengarry Riding seat in a by-election conveniently caused by the sudden resignation of the riding’s freshly re-elected Liberal MP William MacDiarmid, the prime minister made what was billed as a “get-acquainted” visit to the riding he now represented. The riding knew him but he knew little about the riding. It was his first official appearance in the riding he now represented. As a little thank-you, he announced that Col. W. J. Franklin, a Glengarrian who commanded the SD and G Highlanders second battalion during the Second World War, would become the House of Commons sergeant-at-arms. There was no mention of a ‘thank-out’ gift for MacDiarmid who graciously stepped aside so King could return to the House of Commons. It would not be farfetched to speculate that he was “taken care of” for falling on his sword for the sake of the party. King wasn’t seen in the riding again until July 31, 1948 when he opened the first Glengarry Highland Games three months before he retired. King told his Alexandria audience that it was his last election campaign. It was a promise he kept. Three years later he gave the party the green light to find a new leader. It would be Louis St. Laurent. Ironically, King was first elected to Parliament in a 1906 by-election. After holding out hope for almost five months that their 20-year-old son, Pilot Officer Peter Ross-Ross had been taken prisoner after his Lancaster bomber was shot down
Counties recreation centres prepare to re-open GREG PEERENBOOM SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS UNITED COUNTIES of SD&G, Ontario – Summer’s almost gone, but reduced pandemic normalcy is slowing returning this fall with plans to reopen two local arenas. The municipalities of South Stormont and South Glengarry plan to reopen their rinks and attached changing and activity spaces during the third week of September, about one to two weeks later than in 2019. Char-Lan Recreation Centre is scheduled to have its ice ready for Sept. 21. Long Sault Arena should be open Sept. 23. “There will be restrictions such social distancing to be in effect,” said South Stormont Mayor Bryan McGillis last week. He said precautions will mirror the steps staff took to reopen the township office on Aug. 3, noting the public lounge will be particularly challenging. When the arena does open, staff will have
to make do with the current Zamboni. The pandemic has prompted the township to delay its replacement. With few companies to choose from, the pandemic forced the closure of production facilities, slowing the township’s tendering process. Seeing that it would take about six to eights month before a new ice re-surfacer would be delivered, staff advised council it was best to buy a new one for the start of the 2021 rink season. The rec department had budgeted $90,000 for the new Zamboni. This will instead by transferred to a reserve fund for next year’s purchase. The current Zamboni is still in good enough condition for the upcoming year, say staff. Also, the pandemic has lowered re-sale expectations for it, and the township would get a better a chance at matching its anticipated value of $12,000.
UCDSB releases back to school plan, busing still unclear NICK SEEBRUCH
CORNWALL, Ontario – The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) released their plan to get students back in class safely on Sept. 4. The plan is to as much as possible limit contact between students to help stop any potential spread of COVID-19. Elementary students up to Grade 8 will be cohorted into classrooms with the rest of their grade. Students will remain in the same classroom throughout the day to limit the amount of direct and indirect contact with other Grades. Secondary school students will have quadmesters this year instead of semesters. This means that instead of four classes being taught in one half of the year, and then another four in the second have, the school year will be split into four parts with two classes per quadmester.
Each quadmester will be nine weeks and each class will be 150 minutes. Additionally, across all schools, all water fountains will be closed and only water bottle refilling stations will be permitted for use. Lockers will also be off limits with students and staff being asked to only bring the absolute necessities with them to school including a backpack, water bottle, sunscreen, lunch and a change of clothes in the case of kindergarten. The specifics for recess, arrival/ dismissal from school, lunch, are all being left up to each individual school to figure out on their own. As for busing, the UCDSB plan is light on specifics when it comes to making busing safe for students. “Active forms of transportation are encouraged where possible (e.g., walking or biking),” measures will be in place on the school bus. opting out of student transportation.” the UCDSB plan reads. “School bus transporThe full plan can be found on the UCDSB tation continues to be available for eligible The student transportation consortium, students.

Three young athletes recognized with Ontario Legacy Award NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
CORNWALL, Ontario – Three young local athletes have been recognized by the Ontario Winter Games Legacy Award which was presented to them by Cornwall Mayor Bernadette Clement. Annika Setterington, Nicholas Oeggerli, and Nicholas Guindon all received a plaque and a $1,000 bursary. Award winners must be graduating high school and be accepted into a post-graduate program, along with having a minimum academic average of 70 per cent and have demonstrated athletic excellence, leadership, community involvement and financial need. Annika Setterington is an honour roll student graduating from Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School who has participated in Lions basketball, Blazers soccer and Typhoons hockey, as well as a participant in basketball, hockey, volleyball, badminton, and track and field at the school level.
Nicholas Oeggerli is an honour roll student from Char-Lan District High School who has excelled at multiple sports at school including volleyball, soccer, basketball and hockey and never missed a practice or game despite also helping out on the family farm. Nicholas Guindon, is a graduating student from École secondaire catholique La Citadelle who has competed provincially in curling, as well as being on the Blazers Soccer Team, and participating in cross country running, curling and soccer at school. “It was inspiring to meet each of these accomplished recent graduates,” said Mayor Clement. “I am so proud to recognize their achievements on behalf of my colleagues on council.” Ontario Winter Games Legacy Award aims to support the goals of the Ontario Games Program which runs a Summer and Winter Games annually for youths across the province.

Win this Space contest returns NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
The Hurtubise and McNally kids sat outside and raised money for Cancer. Previously they had coloured countless pictures to hand out to those who donated in appreciation. They wanted to do something kind this summer while including safety measures during covid. Thank you to our neighborhood community Hill Island (located behind Home Depot area) as well as those driving by including Gaetan’s Chip Stand for your kind donations. The kids raised $125 in one day. Way to go!
CORNWALL, Ontario – The third annual Win this Space contest is underway. Started by the Downtown Business Improvement Association (DBIA) in 2018, local entrepreneurs have had the chance to compete to win a storefront in Cornwall’s downtown with their rent up to $1,000 paid for for one year. “We are thrilled to once again bring WIN THIS SPACE to the downtown,” said Martha, Chair of the Downtown BIA. “Initiatives like these encourage the liveliness of our beautiful downtown as well as foster an environment where passionate and creative entrepreneurs can flourish.” The first year saw the family business of Fairy Sweet win a spot at 11 Second St. W. and two years later, they are still going strong. Last year’s winner was Kelsey Lee who set up Love & Lee Bridal Dress Boutique and Wedding Shop at 111 Pitt St. “I cannot express how much the Win This Space competition benefited not only my
business financially, but through the preparation of the business plan and pitch, I was able to build a thorough concept of my brand, marketing strategies and the true strengths that Love and Lee possesses. Having some of our rent relieved throughout our first year of business has allowed us the opportunity to grow and focus on investing back into the business while simultaneously helping our sustainability, especially throughout times of crisis which can come without a moment’s notice. Having a place in downtown Cornwall has been an amazing experience so far, and we feel honoured to be part of such a supportive community,” said Kelsey Lee. Passionate entrepreneurs with a great idea are encouraged to apply at downtowncornwall.com by 4 p.m. Sept. 4. Several candidates will be chosen from this application to take part in a training program offered by the Cornwall Business Enterprise Centre to help make their idea a reality. That group will be whittled down to five finalists who will have a chance to pitch their idea in a program broadcast on YourTV.

ONTARIO – The province of Ontario has set aside $30 million for the 2021-2022 Connecting Links program, a program that provides funding for municipalities to repair or replace roads and bridges. Connecting Links covers up to 90 per cent of eligible project costs, up to $3 million for roads and $5 million for bridges. “Eligible costs include the design, construction, renewal, rehabilitation and replacement of municipal roads and bridges that connect two ends of a provincial highway through a community or to a border crossing,” reads a statement from the province. There are 77 municipalities in the province that are eligible to apply for the program. Applications must be received from interested municipalities by 5 p.m. on Nov. 6 of this year. “The investment we are making today is not just about improving our roads and bridges. It’s also about creating good jobs in communities across the province, ensuring businesses can get their goods to market, and getting people to work on time and home sooner so they can spend more time with their families,” said Premier Ford. “This investment is another part of our made-in-Ontario plan for growth, renewal and economic recovery.”

Gerard Marion
RACINE, PAULINE (NÉE LEMIRE)
May 30, 1936 – February 19, 2020 Well, we must say you sure know how to make an exit. Your courage still blows us away to this day. You were brave to the very last moment. Still feel sorry that we flooded the bathroom floor before you left (even though it was your fault), but at least we had one good final laugh before your departure. You have instilled in us many qualities that we got from you. We are no longer embarrassed to ask for a discount, because we usually get one. Like you always used to say,“it doesn’t hurt to ask, and you won’t know if you don’t ask”. The store you had in your house sure came in handy during the beginning of this thing the world inherited called Covid-19! We could just hear you “Boy it’s a shame. What is the world coming to?” But on a lighter note, Kiki & Fiji are being loved all day. Your family & friends really miss you, they miss your funny remarks, they miss seeing you work like a honey-bee, and they miss your company with a cold one. Your sister Helen calls regularly and we could see why you loved her so much! She is a sweetheart. Oh yes, a message from Gerry… you know all those trinkets that you collected over the years? You would say “Don’t throw that out, I can use that for something”. Well Gerry is refurbishing, reinventing, up-cycling and engineering creative masterpieces with them. Between you and me though, I have heard some curse words especially when the tools break while he is working masterfully on a project, and boy has he had a lot of projects! And we are trying really hard to follow your final words “Don’t’ be sad when I’m gone, be happy, because this is my wish.”

acceptable. Our residents and businesses need to be on the same playing field as those in towns and cities,” said Jones.

EASTERN ONTARIO – The Eastern Ontario Rural Network (EORN) is pushing to implement faster internet in the rural areas of Eastern Ontario, including the United Counties of SD&G. They are currently seeking federal and provincial support in the amount of $1.6 million for a public-private partnership to bring Gig internet to rural homes and businesses. Gig internet refers to an broadband internet speed of 1 gigabyte (GB) download speed per second. This would make a significant difference in homes in rural areas where the internet speed is sometimes measured in kilobytes (KB) per second (1 GB = 10,000 KB). The Canada Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has declared that an internet download speed of 50 megabytes (MB) per second and an upload speed of 10 MB per second as the minimum level of internet service. According to the EORN, it is unlikely that rural Ontario will reach this standard before 2030 without public investment. “Demand for broadband is growing exponentially. Half-measures and baby steps won’t get us there. We need a long-term solution,” said EORN Chair J. Murray Jones. “The EORN Gig Project is a lasting investment in our prosperity. Asking rural customers to settle for the minimum level of service when urban residents and businesses currently enjoy far greater speeds is just not

I was in the Pop Shoppe picking up my lottery tickets. Ahead of me was a woman, and not wearing a mask. The clerk, ever so pleasant, mentioned that she should be wearing a mask in the store. The woman said she could not wear one because of breathing problems. Her breathing problems did not stop her from buying three packs of cigarettes and lighting one up as soon as she left the store. But she can’t wear a mask for a couple minutes in a store.

Johanne This reader has a complaint about Quebecers coming into our parks. For years we have gone to the parks and they were always full by 8 am so if you didn’t get there early you didn’t get a spot. With this pandemic the Quebecers should stay in their own province. They come in here with abusive language and take over. Stay where you belong.

It has been a rough year for sports fans and it just seems to be getting rougher. The CFL announced this week that it is cancelling it’s PHARMACY PHARMACIE 2020 season. I guess the Hamilton Tiger-Cats will have to wait until 2021 to appear in the Grey Cup game and lose. They have been in four Grey Cup matches since 1999 and only won one of them.
New owner of the old Cornwall General got a real deal when he purchased it. Now it’s like he won the Lotto, with us taxpayers paying the heating cost for the tenants. Something smells, I guess it really does depend on who you know. The Rotary Club of Cornwall Sunrise would like to announce the annual sale of our “Mums for Thanksgiving” flowers. These are the perfect gift to give during this holiday time to spread some joy and beauty to loved ones! Each mum costs $15 and to place an order please contact any Rotarian or via rotaryclubofcornwallsunrise@gmail.com -delivery will be during Oct. 1-5, 2020.

Here are the facts about the comment I made about blaming poor Quebec. When the parks put yellow tape around certain areas its means they don’t want you to cross over. Along the drive through the parkway yellow tape was place to prevent anyone not to park or step over. What I have witnessed over 99 per cent of the cars that did disobey were Quebec. At the beaches and campground there is tracing with license plates. On the side of the road there was gathering of some 30 people on a off area and it was like that all the way through the parkway. What if someone was infected in that off limit section and spread the virus. They couldnt trace it because they wouldn’t have a clue who was there. And for the park attendant it seem they couldn’t be bothered with it. All I’m asking is to use common sense that why they close the beaches near Avonmore Rd. and Highway 2 and most cars were from Quebec sorry to said. To people like you, I try to ignore. Safety and common sense comes first . There was no hate intended just overwhelmed of the stupidity of some people who don’t take this seriously. I don’t care how many days or weeks it is until Christmas. Until there is snow on the Tyson Labelle raised $175 for the Boys & Girls Club of Cornwall this past Friday selling ground I’m going to feel more like Ebenezar lemonade. He has previously this summer raised $145 for Koala Place and $170 for Scrooge before he gets visited by the ghosts. the Children’s Treatment Centre. Way to go Tyson.

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall City Council heard a report from Jacobs Engineering Group about potential risk to human health for occupants of the Cornwall Fire Services Station #2, located at 1353 Second St. E. The land directly east and south of the fire station is owned by Nouryon Chemical LLC and is formerly the site of the Cornwall Courtaulds chemical plant. That land is contaminated with 1,1 dichloridethylene and vinyl chloride. Of immediate concern is an underground plume of vinyl chloride which is approaching the east side of the fire station’s property. Vinyl chloride is an industrial chemical used in the creation of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes. Vinyl chloride is known to cause various types of cancer including brain, liver, and lung cancer. Jeremy Piper of Jacobs assured Council that there is no immediate danger to the occupants of the fire station, but there is potential for future harm. To fix this problem, Jacobs and Nouryon will be installing two systems to help decontaminate the land and manage any harmful vapors. The first is a biosparge system, which will inject oxygen bubbles into the land. The injection of oxygen will encourage the growth of natural bacteria in the soil which will
consume the harmful chemicals. The biosparge system will be managed by vapor venting wells which will prevent pressure build up. Vapors collected by vapor venting wells and sent to a treatment system located on site. The second system Jacobs and Nouryon will install will be a subslab depressurization system underneath and on top of the fire station, which Piper explained would help prevent any harmful vapors from entering the building itself. Councillor Dean Hollingsworth raised the concern of the vinyl chloride leaking off of the property to underneath Second St. itself and into the sewage system. “There is certainly a chance of these chemicals migrating from the property into Second St. and into our sewage system,” said Michael Fawthrop, Division Manager for Infrastructure Services for the City of Cornwall. Piper of Jacobs assured that if further problems are discovered while installing their land remediation systems, those systems would simply be expanded to address any contamination of concern. Jacobs and Nouryon plan on having the systems installed by January 2021 and will have to operate them for a period of five years. In response to a question from Councillor Carilyne Hébert, Piper explained that the full cost of the remediation project will be covered by Nouryon Chemicals.

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Rotary Club of Cornwall Sunrise’s oldest fundraiser is well underway. ‘Mums for Thanksgiving is all about offering beautiful and colourful chrysanthemum flowers to brighten up any Thanksgiving table. The live flowers, sourced from a farm in Southern Ontario, are sold for $15 each and come in 6” pots. For 31 years, the ‘mums for Thanksgiving fundraiser has allowed the Rotary Club Sunrise to support several major local projects such as the Benson Centre, the Aquatic Centre and play equipment in Lamoureux Park. “With the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, Agape Centre and the Salvation Army Food Banks; Baldwin House; Akwesasne Family Wellness Centre and Centre 105 have
become a primary focus in helping to ensure that our citizens receive help at this difficulty time,” said Bette Miller of the Rotary Club. “It is our hope that successful fundraising will also enable continuation of the support we have been proud to give to various youth and other programs.” Miller explained that the flowers are a great gift or a great way to say thank you. They are great gifts for first responders, to brighten up the workplace for someone working from home, or to remind a loved one in self-isolation that you are thinking of them. “When someone purchases a Rotary ‘mum plant, it actually accomplishes at least two things, it lets Rotary help our community and it makes someone happy,” said Miller. “It is the money raised in this way that is used to help support our food banks and provide local amenities that benefit our citizens.” To get flowers, visit www.cornwallrotarysunrise.com
