Drive thru Canada’s oldest fair NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

WILLIAMSTOWN, Ontario – On Saturday, Sept. 5, fans of the Williamstown Fair will have an experience unlike any other in the events 209 year history.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the traditional Williamstown Fair event had to be cancelled, along with all of the other country fairs in the region.

The Williamstown Fair committee was determined however to find away to keep Canada’s oldest agricultural fair going for another year.

“We felt that if we could do something with the approval of the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU), we should,” said Chelsea Hope, chair of the committee.

That vision has now taken shape with the Williamstown Fair committee offering a drive thru experience this year.

Beginning at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 5, guests will be invited to drive through the Williamstown fairgrounds, entering through the entrance on Johnston Rd. (County Rd. 19).

As they drive through, they will have a chance

3 MINUTES WITH THE MAYOR

BERNADETTE CLEMENT CITY OF CORNWALL

I want to tell you about back-to-school safety, student specials on Cornwall Transit, and student engagement.

But I cannot do this before first acknowledging how challenging back-to-school is this year. No matter how your children will be educated this semester – whether at home, online, in class, or a combination – I wish them the best. May they be inspired, informed,

to enjoy cotton candy, candy apples, and music created especially for the event that can be listened to on a car’s radio. There will also be farm equipment on display including antique tractors.

A highlight surely will be the reverse parade.

Participants in the reverse parade are being asked to decorate their floats at home, and then park them on site for guests to view, and in the evening, many will be lit up with Christmas lights, as will some of the structures on the fairgrounds.

To help celebrate this even, the Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA) has offered to give away 500 trees. “I’m very excited about it,” said Hope. “I think this has given us a chance to think outside the box. It gives the community something to do and we hope they enjoy it.”

This event is free, although there will be a donation box at the exit of the drive thru, this year’s edition of the Williamstown Fair will primarily be supported through sponsorships and support from community partners.

For more information on the Williamstown Fair, visit their website. and engaged this school year, and above all, may they be safe.

We are all responsible for the safety of our community’s children, especially when they are travelling to and from school. Please remember to…

•Stop for the school bus and for crossing guards, •Slow down in school zones, and •Teach your children how to safely wait for, board, and leave the bus.

Cornwall Transit is offering special deals for students for the months of October and November. Purchase a monthly pass for $46 (a savings of $7) or 10-ride tickets for $15 (a savings of $8) during these months.

opportunities for students during the school year. I love connecting with Cornwall residents, but it is so special to have the opportunity to speak with young people.

We host classes at City Hall, where youth ask me questions – and I ask them about what they hope for from their community and their local government. We have also hosted young people for Take Your Kid to Work Day. These traditional ways of teaching

students about their municipality may not be possible this year. I hope that it will still be able to connect with Civics classes and young people of all ages. If you’re a student or teacher with an idea about how we can engage safely, please email me at bclement@ cornwall.ca.

Cornwall native to head Université Laval swim team NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Patrick Paradis has been involved in the sport of swimming from a young age, and it is a passion that has followed him throughout his life.

Growing up in the Riverdale area of Cornwall, he remembers swimming with his older siblings at a nearby pool.

When he was old enough, he became a member of the Cornwall Sea Lions Swim Club, of which his mom Linda was a longtime coach.

At the age of 15, an injury prevented Patrick from continuing to swim competitively, but it did lead him into the world of coaching, something he has been doing ever since. Now 41-years-old, Patrick has spent 37 years in the world of competitive swimming.

Patrick will now be taking that wealth of experience to

Quebec City and the Université Laval as head coach of their swim program.

“One of my main objectives is to get their swim program on the same level as their other sports teams like football,” he said. “I want there to be a great team environment and a program that puts swimmers on team Canada for years to come.”

Since leaving Cornwall, Patrick has been an assistant head coach for a swim team in Hamilton, ON which sent athletes to the Olympic qualifiers. He has since 2010 been serving as head coach for the Chena Swim Club in Vancouver, which has sent five members to the Canada Games in recent years, and the club also sent an athlete to the 2015 Pan American Games, amongst other accolades.

Patrick begins his new job at Université Laval on Sept.

Teachers union: UCDSB remote learning plan “seriously flawed” NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

EASTERN ONTARIO – Erin Blair, President of the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (ETFO) Upper Canada Local (UCL) said that the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB)’s approach to remote learning for the 2020-2021 school year was seriously flawed in a letter to parents.

In a survey conducted by the UCDSB, 20 per cent of responding parents and students indicated their preference for at home learning, double what the Board had anticipated.

As a result, the UCDSB determined that it was not feasible in terms of staffing or

finances to have a separate remote learning program for students.

Instead, remote learning students will be live streaming their classes and learning simultaneously with their in person peers.

In her letter to parents, Blair criticized the plan as providing an unequal level of education for students, being unfair for teachers, and a privacy risk.

“Targeting lessons for in-person instruction is simply not the same as what one would have for dedicated on-line learning,” Blair wrote. “Teachers are not lecturers standing in front of the classroom and there is a whole different dynamic involved in that, in trying to reach both groups, would cause both to suffer.”

“Privacy concerns are paramount and are really to numerous to list, but I can try to list a couple,” Blair went on to write. “First of all, can you imagine your home being broadcast five hours a day? The younger the age group, the less filtering that goes on; sometimes students do make comments that are best not broadcasted. Similarly, self-regulation can be a challenge for some students in terms of their actions. Again, do these really need to be broadcasted.”

Blair went on to criticize school board trustees being silent on the issue and encouraged parents to write their schools to indicate that they do not give permission to broadcast video or audio from their children.

La CFEO reçoit un octroi de 1 157 575 $ d’IRCC pour faciliter l’établissement et l’intégration des nouveaux arrivants COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LA CFEO CORNWALL, Ontario - Le 16 juillet 2020, la Commission de formation de l’Est ontarien (CFEO) a annoncé qu’elle va présenter des services d’emploi et d’établissement bilingues à plus de 1000 nouveaux arrivants dans SDG et Prescott-Russell, sur une période de cinq ans.

Une subvention de 1 157 575 $ d’Immigration, Réfugiés et Citoyenneté Canada (IRCC) finance les efforts de la CFEO pour attirer, employer, intégrer, établir et retenir des immigrants à Cornwall, dans les Comtés unis de Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry et de Prescott-Russell. « Un élément clé de la croissance de notre population à Cornwall et dans les environs

consiste à attirer des nouveaux Canadiens dans notre région pour qu’ils créent des entreprises et contribuent à notre économie », a déclaré le député Eric Duncan. « Cette initiative contribuera non seulement à promouvoir la bonne qualité de vie chez nous et des prix abordables ici par rapport aux grandes villes, mais elle garantira aussi que les nouveaux arrivants réussiront à s’établir dans notre communauté, à obtenir des emplois et à contribuer à notre succès. » La CFEO, en partenariat avec le Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien, Job Zone d’emploi, le Conseil de développement social, le Partenariat local en matière

d’immigration (PLI) et le Réseau de soutien à l’immigration francophone, offrira des services axés sur l’élimination des obstacles et défis auxquels les nouveaux arrivants sont confrontés en matière d’emploi et d’intégration.

Les activités comprennent : les services liés à l’emploi, l’évaluation des besoins et l’aiguillage, les séances d’information et d’orientation, les services linguistiques, les services d’emploi et de soutien. Une formation sur le langage du travail et la sensibilité culturelle est également offerte.

Pour aider les nouveaux arrivants à accéder aux services et aux programmes dont ils ont besoin pour réussir leur intégration, un centre

de services aux nouveaux arrivants est établi dans un lieu central par la CFEO et ses partenaires au 55, rue Water Ouest.

Le programme de Services d’emploi pour les nouveaux arrivants (SENA) sera exploité six jours par semaine selon un horaire de jour et en soirée. Le centre offrira aux nouveaux arrivants les programmes du PLI, du SENA et du Réseau. Le Centre de services aux nouveaux arrivants est doté de tous les outils nécessaires pour assurer l’aide requise aux nouveaux arrivants.

Le BSEO rappelle aux résidents de prendre encore leurs précautions avec l’automne qui s’en vient COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LE BSEO Alors qu’approche l’automne et la rentrée scolaire, le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario (BSEO) rappelle aux résidents de prendre encore leurs précautions pour prévenir la propagation de la COVID-19. Bien que la situation soit présentement sous contrôle, il continue d’y avoir de nouveaux cas dans toute la région du bureau de santé.

Le BSEO est heureux de la réaction positive du public à la directive du port obligatoire des masques et encourage tout le monde à continuer de porter un couvre-visage pour entrer

dans les endroits publics clos. Cependant, le port du masque n’est pas un substitut à la distanciation physique et au lavage des mains.

L’application continue de toutes ces mesures de santé publique ensemble offrira une protection maximale dans notre communauté. « Il est aussi important que jamais de continuer à pratiquer une bonne hygiène des mains et, dans la mesure du possible, de rester à une distance d’au moins 2 mètres des autres personnes quand vous êtes en public », déclare le Dr Paul Roumeliotis, Médecin hygiéniste du BSEO. « Alors qu’approche la saison de la grippe et des rhumes, et les températures plus

froides qui viennent en même temps, ces mesures aideront à conserver des nombres peu élevés de la COVID-19. » Les cas dans les écoles sont un reflet des cas dans la communauté Il sera essentiel de maintenir nos efforts collectifs pour ralentir la propagation de la COVID19 alors que les jeunes retournent à l’école – une augmentation de cas dans la communauté causera une hausse dans les écoles. « Simplement dit, si le nombre de cas à l’extérieur des 4 murs de l’école commence à monter, le nombre de cas à l’intérieur des 4 murs de l’école augmentera aussi », explique

le Dr Roumeliotis. « Le contraire est aussi vrai, puisque l’une et l’autre des situations sont étroitement liées et on sait que les enfants peuvent propager sans le savoir, les virus dans la communauté. » C’est pourquoi on demande aux parents de garder les enfants à la maison quand ils sont malades.

Art Walk an important success for Cornwall NICK SEEBRUCH

8 - Wednesday, September 2, 2020

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

The second Cornwall Art Walk was held this past Friday, and not only was beautiful art on display, but so was a beautiful community.

The event was held in Cornwall’s downtown from Third St. down to Water St. My girlfriend and I went out for dinner that evening at one of Cornwall’s great downtown restaurants. We sat outside, and I’m very glad we did. We were treated to great food, we could hear live music from local artists, and could see pieces of art all around us. The real treat however, were all of the friends and familiar faces we saw pass us on the street.

Well over a half dozen different people stopped at our table as they walked by to talk to us and catch up. Rather than an inconvenience of having to pause in our meal ever few minutes, this was in fact my favourite part of the evening and the event.

I don’t think our experience on Friday night was unique to us. I think that the COVID-19 pandemic, the social distancing, the self-isolation has worn on all of us. This pandemic has separated us through computer screens and cancelled nearly all events.

This event created an opportunity to finally re-establish some long dormant connections. It was refreshing and invigorating.

To me, it highlighted the importance that events like these are to communities like Cornwall.

Not only were artists on display, but it finally got people together for the first time in months.

Of course, the spread of COVID-19 is always a concern. At time of writing, there are two active cases of COVID-19 in Cornwall, and three in the United Counties of SD&G. I was surprised and impressed to see the number of people who were walking along the street, in public and outdoors, but still wearing masks. It was good to see how seriously residents are taking public health. I guess all of those anti-maskers I see on our social media aren’t going too far from their keyboards.

I think that Cornwall could use more outdoor events, while the good weather lasts, and I believe that this past Friday’s Art Walk laid down the template for a successful event.

This event effectively used the space of Cornwall’s downtown. There was live music in Pommier Square, visual artists setup along Pitt St. near the restaurants, and the pop-up shops by the Cornwall Square were all being used, as was the space around them. There were theatrical activities taking place at the end of Pitt St. in front of the United Counties building. From top to bottom, this event used space, a lot of space, effectively.

One thing that I believe really helped this event was the pop-up patios and outside seating. As I explained above, enjoying my dinner outside literally on the sidewalk, added a different and much welcomed new dimension to Art Walk.

In some ways, this event reminded me of Beyond 21’s annual Food Fest, which takes place in the same space every August, except this one.

Something that I think Food Fest has always done right that events like Art Walk could copy would be closing Pitt St. from Third to Water. This will allow more free movement for event goers and would make it easier to maintain that all important social distancing.

I think that businesses along that part of Pitt St. that didn’t participate or weren’t open really missed out on Friday. The sidewalks had more pedestrians on them than I had ever seen save for a few other events.

Art Walk on Friday, and similar such events, are also a boon for Tourism. They start with local residents coming out, filling the streets, and enjoying the event. Once those pictures and that news is disseminated through the media, it will attract visitors who want to come and see what Cornwall has to offer as well.

My hat goes off to Mandy Prevost and the Art Walk organizing committee. I hope that they continue their great work, and that others are inspired and step up to hold similar festival style events.

Events like these don’t need to be limited to the downtown either, I have long believed that Le Village needs a neighbourhood festival as well, like Art Walk, like Food Fest.

What events would you like to see happen this fall in Cornwall’s two downtowns? What ideas would you have for the winter? Email me your Letter to the Editor to nseebruch@ seawaynews.media

LETTERS nseebruch@seawaynews.media Response to wards Dear Editor, Dick Aubry likes the “at large” system of municipal government. He must like the fact that a large majority of councillors come from one section of the city. He must like the fact that with 20 or more candidates to chose from, it is impossible to make an informed choice. He must like the fact that name recognition of sitting councillors (or the one with the most signs) have an advantage. It is extremely difficult for a newcomer to become known in a large area. Aubry must like the fact the voters in a given sector of the city have no particular go-to person to contact. Currently a citizen may get an answer from one or even two council members who may or may not be informed on the problem of the sector in question. It’s a crap

shoot. He must like the fact that, currently, the average citizen has no way of judging the performance of individual council members; in a ward system, it would be easier to make such an assessment and easier to vote out an incompetent councillor. Aubry does not seem to know that councillors do not have to live in the ward they represent.

Cornwall needs a ward system to get new blood in City Hall. The “old boy/old girl “ network no longer serves to advance the city out of the doldrums. New ideas and new energy are required. We are tired of being at the tail end of any provincial survey measuring the positive attributes of municipalities.

A trial in a Toronto court room has put the well-travelled St. Lawrence.

River smuggling route – aka Smugglers’ Alley - that connects New York State to the Cornwall area shoreline in the spotlight.

This time, however, it wasn’t about contraband smokes or booze. It was about the seedy gun-running business.

Later this month, a Toronto man with ties to a criminal organization that smuggled handguns into Canada will be sentenced after pleading guilty earlier this year. He was arrested in Cornwall on May 23, 2018 not far from a house in the Ninth and Marlborough streets area.

Toronto police, with the help of Cornwall Police Service, observe the man leave the Cornwall house and place two large bags in the back of a Toyota Corolla. Wrapped in blankets were 60 handguns and 103 magazines. Most of the handguns were powerful magnums. It was the largest illegal handgun seizure by Toronto cops.

Eight unmarked police cars and an airplane had followed the man as he made his way along Highway 401 to the Cornwall home. It was part of Operation Patton aimed at disrupting the flow of illegal handguns into Toronto, where gun violence has gone through the roof.

It was dubbed Operation Patton because the gang involved in the smuggling is called the Five Point Generals.

According to police, the gun-running pipeline ran from Florida to the Cornwall area. In most cases the handguns were purchased for around $400 in Florida, which has permissive gun laws, and sold on the streets of Canadian cities, mostly to criminal gang members, for around $5,000, which produces a handsome profit.

Two other men charged in the case pleaded not guilty. Their trials are under way via Zoom. It is the first major criminal case to be conducted via Zoom. ********** When this all started five months ago, COVID-19 was expected to hit those 70 and older the hardest, but it hasn’t happened in the Eastern Ontario Health Unit jurisdiction which includes Prescott-Russell, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, a combined population of about 170,000.

The latest stats show that in the “vulnerable” 70-plus bracket, there have been 43 confirmed cases. Meanwhile, 74 residents under the age of 50 have tested positive, 29 of them under 30 and 10 under 20.

Of the 198 positive tests (as of Aug. 31) in the Eastern region, Prescott-Russell accounts for 131, SD and G 40 and Cornwall 27. As of Aug. 31, there were just 14 active cases with two in Cornwall and three in SD and G. The last death in the Eastern region was in late May. HERE AND THERE A private funeral service was held in Oshawa for Dale Hawerchuk.

A public celebration of life is planned for a later date, when COVID-19 restrictions are eased. Former Edmonton defenceman Paul Coffey delivered the eulogy. .... Large frame house on Second Street West being razed for a development once had a life as a halfway house. It was closed by the Harris government. Ironically, one of its first residents was son of a family that opposed the halfway house because it would place criminals in the neighbourhood. ... After being caught in a steamy sex scandal involving his wife and a cabana boy (aka gigolo), Jerry Falwell Jr was sent packing by Liberty University, the evangelical school founded by his late father. On his way out the door with a $10.2 million handshake, Falwell played the evangelical equivalent of the “Get Out of Jail” card. God, he announced, had forgiven him.

Of course, the only reason he threw himself upon the altar of redemption was because he got caught. ... First-time home owners

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Cornwall and Ottawa medical staff who were involved in caring for my wife Diane after her tragic accident.

On July 20, 2020 she succumbed to her injuries at the Ottawa Civic Hospital.

Thank you to my family, friends and neighbours for all their kind words, flowers, and donations in Diane’s memory.

CORNWALL, Ontario – On Sunday, Aug. 23, Zach Stabb, a 16-year-old student at Howard S Billings Regional High School in Chateauguay, QC, left St. Joseph’s Oratory in Montreal on his bike with the goal of reaching Toronto by Aug. 29. He embarked on this journey to help raise awareness and funds to help resolve clean water issues in First Nations communities.

Cornwall was his first stop on Sunday night.

Students at Zach’s high school are tasked in their senior year to complete a project that has a positive impact. After conducting some research, Zach learned that despite Canada controlling six per cent of the world’s fresh water, 20 per cent of First Nations communities face challenges related to consistent access to clean water.

“My goal for this trip is to bring exposure to this problem,” Zach said in an interview with Seaway News.

Zach’s first leg of his journey, from Montreal to Cornwall was the longest bike ride of his life, but he explained that this was something he felt he needed to do.

His high school, Howard S Billings Regional High School is just eight kilometres south of the Mohawk Council of Kahnawá:ke.

In addition to raising awareness, Zach was also raising money for the non-profit organization Water First. Zach had the goal of raising $1,500 for the organization, but as of Monday, Aug. 24, he had already doubled his goal.

“I’m very excited and have been receiving great support from back home,” he said.

Zach aims to complete his 603 kilometre journey by the end of the day on Friday, Aug. 29.

Tony Luis put up a great fight on Saturday night in Las Vegas. You always make your hometown proud.

Police notice: the CPS is seeking witnesses of a fatal motor vehicle collision that occurred at approximately 4:15 am on August 30th in the area of Montreal Rd. and Louisa St. The involved vehicle struck a hydro pole, resulting in the 49-year-old male driver succumbing to his injuries at the scene. The next of kin of the deceased have been notified and out of respect for the family, no further details are being released at this time. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Constable Matthew Dupuis by calling 613-933-5000 ext.

Reader says: Seems like City Council in 2020, can only increase dues, fees and taxes.

Why can’t they do something useful like getting people from Cornwall back to work ?

Employers even offering more than $17,00 an hour can’t get any workers. There is something wrong with this scenario. All this work in Eastern Ontario and no one wants to WORK. Wonder why we bring thousands of people from other countries to do the work.

This whole anti-mask thing comes down to one issue. The fact that people who are antimask (and have no pre-existing breathing issue) think that their cherry picked “research” from the internet makes them more qualified to make decisions about public health than someone with years of education and experience. Are doctors right all the time? No, but they have a better chance of being right. Do all doctors agree? Also no.

A guy goes in for a job interview and sits down with the boss.

The boss asks him, “What do you think is your worst quality?”

The man says “I’m probably too honest.”

The boss says, “That’s not a bad thing, I think being honest is a good quality.”

The man replies, “I don’t care about what you think!”

Reader says: I am a Canadian citizen and I own property 45 minutes from the border. I need to get to it to properly get it ready for the winter and the only way I can do this is to go by air. This is causing great stress on myself as I will be taking a much bigger risk going through air ports rather than seeing one customs agent in a booth . Why are we not afforded the same rights as Americans going to Alaska, or families meeting one another. We all know we have to quarantine upon return to Canada.

Last week’s winner was Thom Racine.

A lot of readers responded to last week’s Editorial about the continued closure of our border. While it is necessary to stop the potential spread of COVID-19 from the United States where the virus is out of control, it has created hardships as our readers have told us. Residents with property on the other side of the border can’t access it and family and loved ones have been separated. The governments of both countries should put more effort in finding accommodations for these cases.

Reader says: Thumbs down to the people who dump their empty Tim Horton’s cups and lids all over the area of Pitt and Tollgate roads. To the couple who also neatly stack their cups one inside the other, you do not get neatness points.

Another scam: Cornwall Police Service is warning residents about employment scams.

The scammers are posting seemingly legitimate jobs on Facebook, and after the applicant is awarded the job, they are then asked to send or transfer money via BitCoin or Reader says: As if picking up stinky dog other crypto-currency.

There has been a lot of reaction to the players of NBA, MLB, NHL, etc. going “on strike” to bring attention to Black Lives Matter. The comments about Drs, teachers, and emergency service workers deserving more pay than these professional athletes is valid, but if their goal was to bring attention to the rates that Black Americans are discriminated by the police, it seems to have worked.

More than 120,000 Reasons to sayTHANKS! YOUR CCHF CHECKUP

AMY GILLESPIE CORNWALL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL FOUNDATION

This column’s all about gratitude. Heartfelt, genuine appreciation for our great community and your support of our recent Corus Caring Hearts Radiothon. An annual tradition for our Hospital Foundation, this year’s fundraiser looked different than years past, but

individuals across SDG still donated online, listened LIVE to BOOM! 101.9 and Fresh 104.5, called in to our Cogeco business line, dropped off donations at local drive-through stations and even came down to our outdoor event at Corus studios.

Our community’s philanthropy delivered $120,119 toward essential equipment supporting our frontlines throughout COVID-19. As I’ve shared previously, CCH has invested an unexpected and unavoidable $1 million to provide exceptional care for local patients during the pandemic. Together, every dollar we raise is precious, and our team could not be more appreciative.

Sometimes fundraising can seem daunting – people wonder if it’s only the larger gifts that

make an impact, since costs for healthcare equipment run so high. The truth is that every dollar counts. Every gift, whether $3 or $3,000, is provided with intent to make our community better. Your kindness, particularly during an incredibly difficult year, is humbling.

Aside from projects related to COVID-19, our Hospital Foundation’s work continues, fulfilling ongoing equipment needs serving local patients. During the pandemic’s early days, hospitals across Ontario experienced a brief hiatus purchasing equipment unrelated to COVID-19, but CCH’s purchasing program is thankfully moving forward again.

This means dollars raised by our community to help purchase a new mammography machine (fundraising began at last year’s

Radiothon) will soon be used. CCH is working with vendors now to identify the best machine for local women and men requiring this essential diagnostic test. It means our Foundation, working with donors and partners like The Cornwall Lions Club, will help CCH purchase a new cataract microscope this year. And, it means our efforts must go on, together.

At CCHF we say, “we’re here because you care”. At the end of the day, none of our work could be accomplished without the kindness and dedication of donors like you. So, thank you, truly, for caring. Your donations matter www.cornwallhospitalfoundation.ca.
