PARKINSON’S DISEASE: Using dancing and boxing to combat symptoms
2 - Wednesday, November 11, 2020
- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com
NATASHA INGRAM MOVE THERAPEUTICS
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative condition that gradually impairs movement, speech, mood and cognitive functioning. The disease can vary from person to person, but the primary physical symptoms of PD are hand and/or body tremors, slow and stiff movement, loss of balance and coordination and muscle rigidity. Other symptoms of Parkinson’s can also include soft speech, problems with handwriting, trouble sleeping, depression and anxiety. Despite the laundry list of symptoms, exercise has been shown to be beneficial for combatting PD symptoms. A consistent exercise and movement routine will help to maintain or improve flexibility, range of motion, strength, cardiovascular endurance, posture, balance and coordination. Exercise boosts mood, which is especially important, considering that many individuals with PD experience depression, anxiety and irritability. Those with PD have difficulty self initiating movement because the brain areas responsible for automatic movement (i.e. walking, turning, sitting to standing) are dysfunctional. People with PD can feel very slow in their movements or feel “frozen” because they cannot internally cue themselves to move. External cues, such as sounds and visual targets, can bypass the dysfunctional area of the brain to cue the initiation and continuation of

movement. Dancing and boxing are especially great forms of exercise for people with PD, as they heavily use external cues (i.e. music, punching bag, vocal and visual instructions) for movement. Dance involves performing a series of coordinated movements with music. Music is key here, as it gives people with PD that important external sound cue for movement. Ballet, tango, waltz and foxtrot have been studied and have helped improve walking speed, balance, coordination, strength, endurance, posture and flexibility. Dancing with a partner or dancing in a class with other students facilitates social connection and togetherness, which can help to combat feelings of depression, anxiety and isolation. Learning new dance steps and routines, and remembering them from week to week, also keeps your brain active and healthy. Like dancing, boxing also helps with improving balance, coordination, posture and cognitive processing by using upbeat music and visual targets like punching bags. Boxing has a stronger focus on developing hand eye coordination and reaction time compared to dance, which can help to temporarily reduce tremors and shaking. A typical boxing class will consist of a warm up, punching bag exercises, lower body agility movements and vocal exercises to address voice disorders (aka soft speech). Dancing and boxing are both fun and effective ways to exercise for those living with PD. Our physiotherapist Audrey De Jong has a passion for helping people with PD move, feel, and live better. If you have any questions about dancing, boxing or other topics related to Parkinson’s disease feel free to contact her by email at Audrey@movetherapeutics.ca. Stay safe and healthy!

Chief Aikman recommended to the Police Services Board that they wait and see how pilot programs for body cameras workout in other similar sized municipalities before they decide to implement them in Cornwall. In 2014 Toronto ran a body camera pilot program for their service, and Guelph and Barrie announced pilot programs of their own this past summer.

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall Police Service (CPS) Chief Danny Aikman gave a presentation to the Police Board on Thursday, Nov. 5 recommending that the service wait for now before considering introducing body cameras for their frontline officers. One immediate hurdle to implementing body worn cameras for the CPS would be the cost. Aikman told the Board that if the CPS were to introduce body cameras for their frontline officers in 2021 it would cost $328,000 up front and then approximately $270,000 every year after that. “Obviously a body worn camera is an unblinking eye. You have to balance the cost,” Aikman said. The CPS has had 11 allegations of misconduct against one of its officers over the past year, with most if not all being dismissed according to Aikman. Another cost for body cameras would be the digital storage, with Aikman estimating that it would require terabytes of digital storage space for all of the body camera footage. One terabyte is equal to 1,000,000 megabytes. Chief Aikman also explained that there were privacy concerns around body cameras, and that any individual not subject to investigation by CPS would have to be digitally removed from any body camera footage according to the Canadian Privacy Commissioner.

Snowplow drivers are in training to prepare for long days and nights of clearing snow from streets and sidewalks. The Parks crew has set up boards for outdoor rinks in many of our parks. We cannot be more grateful for the volunteers who will water and shovel the rinks all winter long. Skating outside will likely be a popular activity as we spend the coldest months of the year protecting this community against high rates of COVID-19. Our lifeguards have been indoors for months now, but they have ramped up activities at the Aquatic Centre with the launch of fall swimming lessons. Contractors have removed some of the docks at our boat launches, and our leaf and yard waste contractor will wrap up collection on November 13. Another contractor will close the household hazardous
waste depot at the end of the month (don’t worry, it will open again in spring). There are a few things we need from you as the winter season approaches. Keep an eye on the forecast. From November 15 to December 14, on-street parking is prohibited from 1 a.m. to 7 a.m. when Environment Canada forecasts a snowfall of 5 centimetres or more. Watch where you park! Sidewalks should always be clear for the safety of pedestrians. In the winter, there is another reason to keep sidewalks clear: it allows sidewalk plows to effectively remove snow. Check your carbon monoxide and smoke alarms. These are especially important during colder months when your furnace is on, and when you may be using additional space heaters or extension cords. Stay active. This may be a more challenging winter for some, and you can help care for yourself and your family by exercising and getting fresh air when safe and possible. Our parks and trails remain open, and we will keep you updated about opportunities at the Aquatic Centre and Benson Centre. Stay connected at www.Cornwall.ca or find The City of Cornwall on Facebook.

Shop local with South Glengarry online market NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – The Township of South Glengarry has introduced a new innovation to help promote their local economy and encourage shopping local during the COVID-19 pandemic. On Wednesday, Dec. 1 South Glengarry businesses will be showcased at an online market organized by the Township of South Glengarry’s Economic Development department in partnership with the Wednesday Night Holiday Market. “We wanted to still promote shopping local, but we wanted to do it in a safe and fun way,” said the Township’s Economic Development officer Shauna Baggs. “Even if a business doesn’t have an e-commerce store, we wanted to get the word out that they are open for holiday shopping.” The event will start at 7 p.m. on the
Wednesday Night Holiday Market’s Facebook page. Each business will be given 15 minutes to showcase themselves, followed by a Q&A with the audience. The following businesses will be participating: Rob McIntosh Unique Shopping Experience Jewellery Factory Aberdeen Gifts Auld Kirktown Marlin Orchards Viau‘s Ladies Wear Steve‘s Knotty Furniture Trading Post Millworks & Co. Cornerstone Farm – Millinery “We wanted to give the businesses an opportunity to promote themselves and show that they are following safe COVID-19 protocols,” Baggs said.
The best volunteers Hi Cornwall and area! I need to say it, we have the best volunteers. As you know, in September we celebrated Big Brothers Big Sisters month and are currently in the process of awarding some more of our volunteers with their awards for however many years they have been with us; last year we were lucky enough to celebrate a volunteer who has been with us for 35 years! As I said, our volunteers are awesome, and I thought this month we would take about how our Littles benefit from them. Youth who have been mentored are 17% more likely to be employed, 63% go on to post-secondary education, 80% pursue healthy lifestyles, 98% believe they make good choices. Isn’t it amazing how spending 2-4 hours with a mentor only once a week can lead to 91% of our youth growing in self-confidence, 76% of their grades improve, 90% start getting along better with other children. The impact a volunteer can have on a child is astronomical. Unfortunately, with the shortage of volunteers right now it leaves over 150 children on our waitlist waiting for someone to help make
BIGS BLOG KELSEY JEAUROND BIG BROTHERS/BIG SISTERS
these impacts on them. With all of these wonderful stats, what I believe is the best one is that 96% of the children who are mentored say that they are happier since starting their match. The stats listed above don’t even begin to describe the impact being in a match can make on the volunteers life! There is always time to start the volunteer process; it is always a great time to start making a difference in someone’s life. If you would like to volunteer with our agency and start the process please email our Caseworker Kelsey Jeaurond at kelsey. jeaurond@bigbrothersbigsisters.ca.

CORNWALL, Ontario – A letter posted by CCVS on their Facebook page states that starting on Monday, Nov. 9 there will no longer be lunch time cafeteria services at the school. The reason given is that the cafeteria service contracted by the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) has experienced low sales and has not remained profitable. The UCDSB stated in the letter that this closure would be temporary, but did not give a date for when cafeteria services would resume. CCVS is one of multiple schools affected by this cancellation. “Going forward, we wish to remind our students to please remember to pack a lunch,” the letter reads, which was signed by CCVS Principal Jason Wagensveld. The letter also asks that Grade 9-12 students who wish to buy a lunch off-site to wear a mask, maintain social distance, and sanitize their hands.

Tickets will be available in the next couple of weeks via the website, follow the experienCity Project online to stay up to date,” the statement goes on to read.

The long term care facility will be adding 17 new beds, but Project Manager Zbig Wlosek explained that this project represented a shift in long-term care. “I think the important thing about this project is the change it represents in long-term care,” he said. Wlosek explained that while 17 beds are being added, the expansion will allow for a redesign of the facility. Once the expansion is completed 60 per cent of the rooms will be private, with the remaining 40 per cent being double occupancy. The expansion will nearly double the size of

Police budget to increase 2.34 per cent for 2021 NICK SEEBRUCH
CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall Police Service (CPS) Chief Danny Aikman presented his service’s budget for 2021 to the Police Board on Thursday, Nov. 5. Chief Aikman told the Board that he was budgeting for a 2.34 per cent increase to the CPS budget from the year before. Part of the reason for the increase was due to a loss of revenue because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CPS generates revenue through things like completing background checks which some businesses and government agencies require before hiring. Aikman explained that revenue from these sources was down by around $90,000 from the previous year and had that deficit not existed, he would be asking for an approximate increase of 1.84 per cent instead of 2.34.
EAT
The biggest ticket item in Chief Aikmans’ 2021 budget is salaries and benefits, which makes up $19,093,255 of the $20,212,066 budget total. Salaries and benefits represent 88 per cent of the CPS budget, with the next largest item, the purchase of goods coming in at four per cent at $966,188. The CPS currently has 93 full-time officers, 11 special constables, 38 full-time civilian staff members, and 17 part-time civilian staff members. Chief Aikman explained to the Board that his 2021 budget was built around three strategic priorities, Crime Reduction, Community Engagement, and Operational Excellence. For Crime Reduction, Aikman pointed to drug trafficking as an area where the CPS was focusing its effort with success. In 2019 CPS seized over $249,500 in drugs and contraband and laid over 200 charges.
“This is an ongoing and emerging issue in Cornwall. We have had instances where these opioids have resulted in overdoses in the City of Cornwall,” he said. “In May 2020 alone we seized over $40,000 in drugs and money and I think our statistics in 2020 will exceed those in 2019.” For Community Engagement, he cited the completion of the Community Safety Plan that the municipality was required to complete by the province of Ontario. Additionally, he pointed to several other community programs that the CPS was currently engaged in such as their diversity, equity, and inclusivity initiative that was launched this summer. Chief Aikman explained to the Board, that in terms of Operational Excellence, that the CPS was continuing to operate at a high level. “It is my belief that the Cornwall Police Service is able to punch way above its weight.

I think that is thanks to our pursuit of operational excellence,” he said. Aikman pointed to CPS once again achieving Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) accreditation in 2020 as a part of this operational success. Aikman also took the Board through a few of the CPS’ expenses for 2021, which include the planned purchase of three new vehicles. CPS typically retires a vehicle after three years of service, or after it has passed 150,000km. The CPS typically replaces a quarter of their fleet every year. These new vehicles will be hybrid electric vehicles, meaning that they will be $10,000 more expensive than their gas only counterparts, but that they will use 50 per cent less gas over their lifetimes. The CPS Board passed the 2021 budget unanimously.

There might not be a more consequential year for municipal budgets than 2021. Yes, municipal budget time is here again, but the challenges our local politicians, treasurers, and financial officers face are more daunting than ever. The impacts of the decisions being made for the 2021 budgets will be felt by all of our regional municipalities for years to come. In fact, I don’t think since the Great Depression have municipalities been faced with the choices that they will have to make this year. The COVID-19 pandemic has deeply affected the economy at every level. I can scarcely think of any business that hasn’t had to either close, if only temporarily, change their hours, or reduce their staff. Municipalities themselves have also felt the squeeze, with the City of Cornwall projecting a deficit of nearly $500,000 this year according to a report from this past August. The choice now facing these municipal governments is whether to tighten their belts to keep taxes low, or to invest in the local economy. Cornwall Council always tends to favour belt tightening. I know, some readers will find that last sentence shocking, but I’ve sat through hours and hours of Cornwall budget meetings, and each draft budget always sees items like capital projects get cut, with new spending added only rarely. This allows Cornwall Council to pass a lower tax rate increase than what they started with in the draft budget. One other belt tightening measure that the City could pursue more aggressively is
attrition. I am not advocating cutting currently filled positions, or leaving a position vacant forever, but not filling a vacancy when someone retires could be a good way to save some money this year without firing someone from their job, which some businesses have unfortunately had to do because of the pandemic. Putting more money directly into the pockets of residents is one option. As stated above, every business, and by extension, their employees, are hurting. Everyone could more money in their pockets, but I think that stimulating the economy would be a more effective way of helping everyone. A rising tide raises all ships. Rather than tighten belts, councils should consider creating more grant opportunities to take the financial pressure off of businesses. The City of Cornwall has already done this to an extent with their Small Business Grant program launched in April aimed specifically at helping businesses negatively affected by COVID. Municipalities could help the average citizens by looking at the everyday fees that their residents pay and either waiving them or reducing them. Again, Cornwall has already taken steps towards the direction of stimulus over belt tightening by offering two-hour free parking in the city. The cost to this strategy is that while this upfront spending will help ease the immediate pain but will need to be paid for down the road. Ideally, that pain can be spread out over multiple years. The Township of South Glengarry was one of the first municipalities to hold meetings and plan out their budget, and I think they are on the right track.
“Ask not…” Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

Unless you are less than ten years of age, you can probably continue with the words that opened a speech made on January 20, 1961. Fast forward to what we’ve been told since mid-March, 2020: “wear a mask, maintain six-feet separation, wash your hands, stay home…” So often I hear “But I’m different. I have my civil rights…the government is imposing control over me…I should be able to make my own decisions…wearing masks is dangerous…” On and on it goes. Let’s go back to the year I was born, and
the ten or so years that followed. Did people in the London blitz say, “I have a right to drive around with full headlights and to have my yard lights showing.”? Did young men in Canada defiantly cry out, “Why should I enlist? Army life would stifle my individuality. I like my hair exactly the way it is. I’m just not into exercise. The thought of crossing the Atlantic in a pitching freighter makes me sick.” I wonder if the young women of that time wailed, “But Johnny and I just got married a few months ago, and I’m expecting.” Or, “Working in a munitions factory would be dirty, noisy and maybe even dangerous. I want to study floral arrangement and the art of making ceramic figurines!” When things change, when war comes, we too have to change. In the dictionary, ‘duty’ and ‘obligation’ come before ‘preference’
Their head of Infrastructure Services, Ewen MacDonald described the 2021 budget as one of needs rather than wants. Councillor Martin Lang put a finer point on it saying “I think we are in the strongest fiscal position of any municipality of SD&G, but we are also the highest taxed. I think we want to make sure people are getting the most for their money.” The goal of any budget should be getting the most for your money, but in this year especially, I think it is about plugging as many holes as you can in a financial dam cracking under the strain of a pandemic. Going into this budget season, I think municipal councils should be looking at opportunities to save, and opportunities to spend. Cutting taxes might not be the best way to help a resident who may have lost their job because of COVID-19. Usually, municipalities have to balance two points, taxes and service. This year they must
balance the tax rate, the level of service they can get from that tax rate, and also consider the damage the pandemic has done to the local economy and the best way to fix that. I think there are two good ways to support the local economy. The first is to make money available in terms of grants that support businesses and their growth, and to make it easier for businesses to operate in safe way. The second is to ensure that when that fails, when businesses fail, that there is a social safety net that helps people so they aren’t worrying about food, about bills, and about keeping a roof over their heads. Councils in our area should be thinking about these things when they start their budget deliberations this year, a year like no other. What do you think readers? What would you like to see in your municipality’s budget this year? Email me a Letter to the Editor at nseebruch@seawaynews.media
and ‘rights’. Right now, we are at war. The enemy is COVID-19. It’s time for men and women to ‘man-up’, to answer the call. Consider Europe during the decade after the end of WW II. The effects of the war were still there. Some five-year-old boys were seeing their fathers for the first time. For some six-year-old girls, their fathers will never come home. Some remain in Groesbeek, Holland or Ancona, Italy – forever. 2,338 Canadian soldiers are buried in Groesbeek, 490 at Ancona. Still others were torpedoed at sea, or incinerated in the crash of their Lancaster bomber. In Europe the effects of the war lingered on into the 1950s: rationing of food and fuel; shortages of other basics; rebuilding of damaged or destroyed infrastructure. Even today, we have Canadian military serving abroad, making sacrifices, even
dying on foreign soil. Peace-keeping attempts in places we would be challenged to locate on a map are costly, not just in dollars. Attention out there: quit your whining, wear your mask when necessary, postpone your group revelry, somehow find a substitute for being in a live audience, limit the size of your bubble. Suck it up: there will be no time for the Florida sun or the Caribbean cruise this winter. On November 11, and every other day, remember those who have made it possible for you to live in peace, in the best country in the world. Let your wearing of a poppy be a symbol of your remembrance of those who have served your country in the past, some who gave their all. Ask not what others should do for you. Ask not what rights you have, but ask what you can do for others.

OPINION
Fire was final chapter in sinister history of house Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings
EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM
A fire deliberately set by a desperate mother of eight on Nov. 3, 1938 wrote the final chapter in the sinister, dark history of a tiny two-room rickety house, labelled the Volvey House by locals, just east of Bonville. After setting fire to the house – her husband had gone to the bush to cut wood – the woman bundled up her children and with the help of a passing motorist made her way to the Children’s Aid Society office in the Counties Building in Cornwall where she told her sad story to an employee. She was soon arrested by the OPP and charged with arson. With the help of top-notch city lawyer Rodolphe Danis, who waived his fee to help the woman, the judge heard a story of terrible, inhumane living conditions, even for the Great Depression era. The 12-by-14 foot frame house had two rooms, one downstairs and one upstairs, where the family slept. There was never enough food. There was evidence of domestic turmoil. She had married her older uncle. The woman said she had reached out to the children’s aid society for help but got none. The lone CAS case worker said at the time he didn’t have time to investigate the case. She felt the only way to escape the misery and unbearable living conditions for her and the children and get help was to burn down the house that was more prison than home. “This,” Danis told the judge in a plea for
leniency , “is the most sordid case I have ever heard in all my years of practising law.” Even no-nonsense Crown Attorney John Harkness was moved by what he heard. He agreed that the case called for leniency. A sympathetic Magistrate P. C. Bergeron agreed. She was given a one-year suspended sentence. The magistrate turned her and the children over to the care of the children’s aid on the condition that she no longer have any contact with her husband. Two years earlier the previous occupant of the house, Louis Volvey, was found dead at the foot of the stairs. It was ruled an accident but later police, responding to rumours making the rounds, had the body exhumed. It was discovered that Volvey had been struck several times on the head. His wife and a nearby farmhand were charged with manslaughter. Both were convicted. And just before the desperate mother burned down the house, her oldest son, just 16, had been murdered near Lancaster. Some of the locals called it the house from hell. ALSO THIS WEEK IN 1938 - A 51-year-old man wanted for the murder of farmer Capt. James Cameron, a resident of Cameron’s Island east of Cornwall, was held in a Malone, N. Y. jail awaiting an extradition hearing. The wanted man, Dan McDonald, had been employed on the Cameron farm for several years. Capt. Cameron lived on the farm with his sister Levinia and brother Stanley. The sister told police the hired hand attacked her brother with a hickory stick then fled in a row boat. He was arrested by New York State Police the next day. .... A former member of the Cornwall Flyers hockey team was found dead in his Syracuse hotel room. Jerry
Connell, 23, who starred for the 1936-37 Flyers and Cornwall senior lacrosse club, had been assigned to the Syracuse Stars of the International American Hockey League by the Toronto Maple Leafs. ... A Stratford man was handed a six-year prison sentence for the armed robbery of the Burns Drug Store and the break-in of Judge Francis Costello’s home. A week earlier he was sentenced to five years and 10 lashes for an armed robbery in Brockville. ... Fire that started in the attached wood shed destroyed the one-room S. S. No. 23 school at Northfield Station. Teacher Imelda McDonald and her 23 students escaped unharmed. They managed to save the school desks and blackboard. However, the winter fuel supply (14 cords of hardwood) was lost. ... Canadian Pacific was offering a first-class round trip from Cornwall to San Francisco for $136. The price for coach class was $104. ... Irish clairvoyants (aka fortune tellers) Prof and Mmm. Diana Kildare were holding tea cup and palm readings at Dumster’s Restaurant on Pitt Street. .... Convicted of smashing several windows at the Winchester High School, an 18-year-old lad was handed an 18-month reformatory sentence. ... Dick Proulx and Stan Robertson each scored two goals as Cornwall Flyers downed Sherbrooke Red Raiders 7-1 in a Provincial Senior Hockey League game before 2,000 spectators packed into the new Community Arena (aka Water Street Arena) which had seating for 1,225 and standing room (elbow to elbow) for 1,775. Mike McMahon, Craig McClelland and Tommy McIntyre had the other goals. SEEN AND HEARD During the presidential campaign Joe Biden said police officers should be trained to shoot an armed attacker
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
in the leg. No kidding. That is what he said. ... Cornwall was to host the under-18 world junior hockey tournament next month but it was pulled because of the pandemic. The good news is that it has been re-booked for the Ed Lumley Arena (Dec. 12-19) next year. ... A study shows that of the 7,500 young blacks murdered in the United States each year, 90% are killed by other young blacks. Most of the murders are gang-related. ... Work hard, make more money, pay more taxes. Buy a lottery ticket, get lucky, rake in a windfall tax free. Doesn’t make a lot sense, or should that be cents. .... VP-elect Kamala Harris said that while she will be the first female VP, “I can assure you I won’t be the last.” So, if for whatever reason she replaces Joe Biden during this term, she just might be joined by a female VP. Segregationists would be spinning in their graves if the country ended up with a black female president and black female VP. TRIVIA Alex Trebek was born in this Canadian city: 1) Ottawa, 2) Vancouver, 3) Thunder Bay, 4) Sudbury, 5) Toronto. TRIVIA ANSWER James Whitney, born in Williamsburg Township in 1843 was Ontario’s sixth premier. He served as premier from 1905 to 1914. He died shortly after being re-elected. He attended Cornwall Grammar School and practised law in Morrisburg. There is a statue of him on the Queen’s Park grounds and a building near the legislature is named the Whitney Block. QUOTED “I’m not afraid of dying. I’ve lived a good life, a full life, and I’m nearing the end of that life. If it happens, why should I be afraid of that? One thing they’re not going to say at my funeral, as a part of a eulogy, is ‘He was taken from us too soon.’” - Alex Trebek

Dear Mr. Seebruch, I believe some key pieces of information are missing from your Opinion Piece on Cooper Marsh from November 8, 2020. While Mr. Hughes (Weaving Baskets Group) and Councillor Warden of South Glengarry Council feel that they have checked all of the boxes, I respectfully must disagree. My concern, as the former Remedial Action Plan Coordinator with the Canadian portion of the international St. Lawrence River Area of Concern (AOC), is that the lead network, St. Lawrence River Restoration Council, that includes representatives from both federal and provincial governments, was never informed when the MNRF reduced the Provincially Significant Wetland by 3 acres by changing the wetland boundary as was requested by the developer - Weaving Baskets Group (WBG) in 2018. To that end, in my opinion, this process has been flawed from the beginning. Wetland impairment and encroachment have been identified as an issue of concern
here along the upper St. Lawrence River in many scientific reports over the last 30 years. Fish and Wildlife Habitat Loss and Fish and Wildlife Population Loss, in fact, are listed as two significant Beneficial Use Impairments that are keeping this Area of Concern on the list of Environmental Areas of Concern within the Great Lakes / St. Lawrence River. The Phase 2 Report of the St. Lawrence River Remedial Action Plan (1997), in fact, recommends that local municipalities take specific steps to protect and enhance local wetland areas due to their importance. Environment and Climate Change Canada have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars towards recent work in the Marsh so that the very nesting sites and habitat being discussed might be protected and enhanced. With all due respect to Beacon Environmental, contracted by the developer to undertake the environmental report, a connection was not made to this area being an Environmental Area of Concern. They did not examine development impacts on adjacent
sensitive wetland where threatened species have nesting sites. Many scientists and naturalists have been working on this project for over three decades. Numerous scientific reports were available to these consultants that were not accessed. Species sensitive to human activity that dwell in the Cooper Marsh include not only otters, beavers, mink, muskrats, but rare salamanders, and 6 of the 7 at-risk turtle species. Habitat fragmentation and encroachment are the major causes of wildlife loss across Ontario and throughout North America. This includes human activities that disturb the nesting grounds of species that are known to avoid humans such as the threatened Least Bittern https://www.ontario.ca/ page/least-bittern. Over the past several years, the Conservator volunteers have made great strides in restoring vital wetland breeding habitat at Cooper Marsh while at the same time enhancing educational and public viewing opportunities. They have raised well over $750,000 to
enhance ponds and channels as well as re-furbish the boardwalks that bring well over 15,000 families as visitors to the Marsh annually. This does not include the thousands of students who make the Marsh a destination of choice for school programs and nature programs. As an environmental educator and coordinator with 13 years experience of repairing, protecting, and educating the public regarding human impact on water courses, I encourage South Glengarry to seriously consider the concerns of the Conservators. The type of re-zoning permitted by South Glengarry will permanently impact the quality of wildlife habitat and populations of Cooper Marsh and indeed the upper St. Lawrence River. Prudent decisions are necessary or so much of the investment made and hard work undertaken by local residents and volunteers will be undone and we will all be the poorer for it. Sincerely, Karen Douglass Cooper Cornwall, Ontario

However, we still recognize the need to bring together local employers and job seekers and we hope to do that successfully in a virtual world,” said Carilyne Hébert, Executive Director of the SDC in a media release. Running from Nov. 9 to 15 at www.sdccornwall.ca/ careers Hébert explained that with at least 200 local employment opportunities to fill, that being virtual will have the advantage of providing a wider reach. “As much as we wished we were hosting something face to face this year, we actually think we will have a much bigger reach going virtual,” she said in an emailed statement to Seaway News. Last year saw nearly 550 individuals attend the event, which is usually held in person at the Cornwall Civic Complex.
Hébert explained that this year there are 20 employers looking to hire including Biscuits Leclerc Ltd., Cornwall Community Hospital, Children’s Aid Society of SD&G, XPlornet Communications and more. “Many of Cornwall’s major employers continue to invest in their operations and expand their workforce,” said Bob Peters of Cornwall’s Division Manager of Economic Development. “These videos are an excellent way for job seekers to get to know these companies better.” Each employer will have a video posted on the SDC website explaining the person they are looking to hire, and how that person can apply. The event is sponsored by Choose Cornwall – Cornwall Economic Development, Akwesasne Career & Employment Support Services (ACESS), Glengarry Inter-agency Group (GIAG), Social and Housing Services, the Eastern Ontario The typically well attended Cornwall Job Fair will be virtual this year.

CORNWALL, Ontario – Carefor Hospice Cornwall helps individuals and their families during the most difficult times in their lives. The important work Hospice Cornwall does cannot be done without the support of the community. Carefor Hospice Cornwall needs to raise $600,000 annually, and their largest fundraiser of the year is their Telethon which airs on YourTV next Saturday, Nov. 14. Carefor Hospice Cornwall only receives 60 per cent of their funding from the province and the rest is fundraised through the support of the community. Last year’s Telethon raised $160,000 for Hospice. “Because of COVID, our revenue has been almost cut in half. Due to the numerous restrictions, the majority of the third party events that occur throughout the year and provide a considerable amount of revenue,, were all cancelled,” said Carefor Hospice Fundraising Coordinator Sandy Colette. “So we are hoping that the community will come through and call in a pledge to help lessen the deficit. Pledges can be dropped off at the Carefor office or mailed in prior to the 14th. Our community has always come through for us and we are hoping that this remains true this year.” Like everything, the Hospice Telethon has had to adapt this year to the realities of the

ONTARIO - Le médecin hygiéniste en chef de l’Ontario, le Dr David Williams, a indiqué en conférence de presse, lundi, que l’équipe de santé publique en charge de la lutte de l’Ontario contre la COVID-19 avait prévu que la province compterait entre 1 200 et 1 400 cas quotidiens de COVID-19 au début du mois de novembre. Cette affirmation contredit les propos de cette équipe, qui prévoyait plutôt que la province se dirigeait vers un plateau entre 800 et 1 200 cas par jour pour cette même période. Lundi, la province fait état de 1 242 nouvelles infections dépassant ainsi les projections, pour la deuxième journée de suite. La veille, l’Ontario rapportait plus de 1300 cas de COVID-19, un nombre record en province. Dans la foulée de cette augmentation record des cas de COVID-19 dans les régions “chaudes” du virus, le premier ministre ontarien Doug Ford a défendu sa stratégie de lutte contre la
pandémie. « On a les chiffres les plus bas si on compare aux autres grandes juridictions. On va s’en sortir ». En tout, 85 395 tests de dépistage se sont révélés positifs au coronavirus depuis le début de la pandémie. Au cours des 24 dernières heures, 12 personnes atteintes de la COVID-19 ont perdu la vie. L’Ontario compte 3245 décès liés au coronavirus, dont 2069 résidents de foyers de soins de longue durée. Au total, huit employés de ces établissements sont décédés, et ce, lors de la première vague du virus. Dimanche, 367 personnes étaient hospitalisées en raison de la COVID-19, dont 84 patients aux soins intensifs. Parmi ces derniers, 54 étaient sous respirateur.

Le cadre d’intervention a été mis en œuvre pour donner aux autorités de la santé publique la capacité d’instaurer des mesures qui soient ciblées, progressives et adaptées à la situation de la COVID-19 dans la communauté. « Le nouveau cadre d’intervention nous donne la possibilité de réagir de façon plus souple à la situation sur le terrain », déclare le Dr Paul Roumeliotis, Médecin hygiéniste du BSEO. « Ce sera comme un système d’alerte précoce qui nous permettra de soit augmenter soit réduire nos mesures ou nos restrictions de santé publique sur une base régionale ou communautaire en réponse aux vagues ou aux montées en flèche des cas de COVID-19. » Le cadre d’intervention catégorise les circonscriptions de santé publique selon cinq niveaux : Vert-Prévenir, JauneProtéger, Orange-Restreindre, RougeContrôler et Confinement, cette dernière étant une mesure urgente de dernier recours. Chaque niveau décrit les types de mesures de sécurité exigées des entreprises et organisations, en termes de santé publique et de sécurité au travail. Celles-ci incluent des mesures ciblées visant des secteurs, des institutions et autres milieux spécifiques.

ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 790
ARIES: You’ll feel isolated as you shoulder all the responsibility at work and at home. At least a few people will notice your hard work and reward you for it. In some way, you’ll be recognized for your efforts. TAURUS: Changes are on the horizon. If you go with the flow, you’ll find that your worries disappear on their own. Your passion project will come to fruition much faster than you thought possible. GEMINI: You’ll need to clarify a financial situation at work. A few negotiations could get rather tense this week. You’ll also need to better balance your work and personal life if you want to feel more at ease. CANCER: Your love life will take up a lot of your time, and you’ll enjoy several romantic moments. A co-worker will make an unexpected, and perhaps inappropriate, declaration of love that you likely won’t reciprocate. LEO: Plenty of rest will be necessary to recover from a bad cold. After spending a few days at home, you’ll need to catch up on work over the weekend. The new moon will have your imagination firing on all cylinders. VIRGO: You’ll struggle to get in touch with certain people who aren’t returning your calls. Don’t be surprised if they finally get back to you all at once. Your phone will be ringing off the hook and some people might drop by unannounced. LIBRA: Many people will want to get to know you better and you’ll be willing to let them. Your social life will be very active, and you’ll have a lot to talk about. Additionally, your ro mantic partner will be very generous toward you this week. SCORPIO: You’ll spend part of the week shopping. You’ll also be tempted to rethink your home’s interior design. Among other things, you’ll be eager to get a head start on putting up Christmas decorations. SAGITTARIUS: You’ll feel both inspired and lazy this week. You might spend your free time creating a masterpiece, or you may simply bask in other people’s work. This might involve watching an entire season of an inspiring TV show. CAPRICORN: You won’t always feel comfortable in a large crowd. Luckily, you’ll meet intriguing people who inspire you to overcome new challenges and broaden your social circle. AQUARIUS: Procrastination will be your constant companion this week. Luckily, your loved ones will help you get your priorities back in order. They’ll also make you laugh, which will help lift your spirits and renew your love of life. PISCES: Even if you don’t think it’s a realistic plan right now, you’ll take a sudden trip out of town. At work, you’ll bring together clients from different communities, which will help you achieve great success.

An executive is late for an important meeting, but he can’t find a place to park. In desperation, he begins to pray. “Please Lord, if you help me find a parking stall right now, I promise to go to church every Sunday and never drink vodka again!” A moment later, he sees a beautiful empty spot right next to the entrance. “Never mind. Found one!” Cornwall is encouraging residents to recycle and compost more. This is essential, and those who care about our taxes should pay attention. Our landfill has only 12 or so years left in it. When it reaches the end of its life cycle, Cornwall will have to close and maintain the landfill, and that alone will cost the City $36 million and that does not even take into account the cost of opening a new landfill. Let’s extend the life of the landfill we have as much as we can.

New provincial COVID response plan: What does it mean for EOHU? NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
CORNWALL, Ontario – On Tuesday, Nov. 3, the province of Ontario released a new colour-coded response plan to the COVID-19 pandemic. “It’s clear COVID-19 will be with us for a while, which is why we are putting in place a framework that will protect the health and safety of individuals and families, while avoiding broader closures across the province,” said Ontario Premier Doug Ford. “This framework, developed in consultation with our health experts, will serve as an early warning
system allowing us to scale up and scale back public health restrictions on a regional or community basis in response to surges and waves of COVID-19. By introducing public health measures sooner, we can keep this deadly virus at bay, bend the curve and reclaim a little more of our normal lives.” The new plan divides regions based on how badly COVID-19 is spreading within the community. Regions can be coded from green, to yellow, to orange, to red, to grey. Green represents a new weekly case rate of less than 10 per 100,00, and a positivity
rate of less than 1 per cent. For yellow, those numbers would need to be 10 to 39.9 per 100,000 and a positivity rate of 1-to-2.5 per cent. Orange would mean that a region has a weekly incidence rate of 40 to 99.9 per 100,000 with a positivity rate of 2.5-9.9 per cent. Going to Red would require those numbers to increase further to over 100 new cases per 100,000 and a positivity rate over 10 per cent. Grey would be implemented if trends continue to worsen and would mean the region would be put under widespread restrictions. “We’re in the yellow zone,” said Dr. Paul
Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health with the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU). The EOHU region was originally placed at the Orange level. “We had a discussion this morning and they are going to re-evaluate our numbers, but I’m confident we will be in the yellow zone.” The new system will come into effect on Saturday, Nov. 7 and each region’s level will be reviewed every 28 days. For the full list of restrictions currently affecting the EOHU region, please visit the COVID section of www.cornwallseawaynews. com

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Police Service (CPS) and the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) are warning of an increase in overdoses in the Cornwall area. They state that many of these overdoses are linked to so-called “purple” heroin, and that they are finding other drugs like fentanyl and benzodiazepine mixed in with the heroin. “This is a worrying trend because naloxone can only counter an overdose caused by opioids like fentanyl,” said Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health of the EOHU. “It’s not effective on individuals who have overdosed on benzodiazepines. This is why I strongly urge anyone who suspects a person is having an overdose to call 911 right away, even before
they administer naloxone.” “The safety of our community is the priority and we are asking the public to consider the dangers of consuming street drugs that may contain unknown hazardous contents,” said Chad Maxwell, Inspector of Field Operations for the CPS. “Members of the public and observers need not fear the involvement of police during an overdose, as the law provides protection against charges in these emergency situations. The CPS encourages members of the public to talk to their friends and family about calling 911 in suspected overdose situations in order to help make saving lives the priority.” If someone expects that a person is overdosing, to call 911 immediately, and to administer naloxone if possible.
