SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario - There are few more surer signs of spring than the overhead honking of Canadian Geese returning to our area and maple sap being collected throughout the forests of Eastern Ontario. While people are eager to see the geese flying in their V-formation, the opening of the sweet season of maple syrup production signifies the end of the cold, dark days of winter.

The warm days and cooler nights have started the sap flowing down the branches of the maple trees and out the spout or spile in the

tree trunk. Whether it is collected via pipe line or bucket the sap is boiled with products such as maple syrup, maple sugar, maple butter or the traditional crowd favourite created maple taffy created.

For several years, the local maple syrup producers have held a first tapping of the season ceremony. Earlier this month, Stormont, Dundas and South Glengarry MP Eric Duncan installed the ceremonial first tap of the season on a maple tree located at the On The Bend Sugar Shack located at 4107 County Road 11 near Chesterville.

Allister MacDonell, whose family has tapped the maple trees on the family farm for nine generations, told The Seaway News that approximately 1500 gallons of maple sap was boiled that day, making 30 to 40 gallons of maple syrup. He proudly commented the family farm was designated as an Ontario Bicentennial Farm, acknowledging it had been owned and operated by the same family since 1784. MacDonell is shown near one of the pipelines which transport the sap from the tree to the sugar hut. Goddard photo

Dr. Paul asks for civility with EOHU staff as COVID numbers climb NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health with the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) asked the public to treat his staff with more civility during a call with the media on Monday, March 22 after they were heavily involved with contact tracing calls as COVID-19 cases jumped by 71 over the weekend.

“We are recognized that people are frustrated. Our staff who have been doing contact tracing have been yelled at screamed at, abusive language. Sometimes our staff are in

tears. The civility is gone. This has been experienced across health units in Ontario.

They’re doing their job. They want to make sure to protect everyone else in our community,” Dr. Roumeliotis said.

Dr. Roumeliotis said that he had contacted Ontario Premier Doug Ford with his concerns and that the Premier told him that the treatment his staff was receiving was unacceptable.

“I’m pleading with everybody, they are just doing their job,” said Dr. Roumeliotis.

The rising cases of COVID-19 in the EOHU is pushing the region into the Red Zone of the

provincial COVID-19 response rubric, beyond its current status in the Orange Zone.

To be in the Red Zone, a health unit must have a rolling seven day average of new COVID-19 cases of 40. Currently, the EOHU has a rolling seven day average of 63.7.

The Red Zone has harsher restrictions for businesses and public gatherings than the Orange Zone, and Dr. Roumeliotis warned that should cases continue to rise during the week, the EOHU might be placed in the Red Zone before Friday.

Currently, there are 227 active COVID-19 cases in the region. There are 93 active cases

in Cornwall, six in the Northern portion of Akwesasne, 13 in South Glengarry, 19 in South Stormont, 22 in South Dundas, 10 in North Dundas, six in North Stormont, four in North Glengarry, four in East Hawkesbury, nine in Hawkesbury, two in Champlain, one in The Nation, eight in Casselman, 14 in Russell, 10 in Clarence-Rochland, and six in Alfred and Plantagenet.

There are currently 38 individuals hospitalized in the region with COVID-19 and six in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). There have been 69 people who have died in the region of COVID19 since March of 2020.

Child support - Work it out together and avoid the court process THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE

JODIE REYNOLDS PARTNER AT GRENKIE & REYNOLDS LLP

There are not many issues that are straightforward in separations, especially where the sharing of children – and expenses – are involved. Your lawyer will rarely give you an answer with complete certainty. Your lawyer will virtually never use language like: “this is

what you will receive” or “this is what the court’s decision will be.”

You will hear from your lawyer that “it depends on many factors”, “the court’s decision will be fact specific to this case”, and that “there are no guarantees about the outcome.”

Lawyers speak in that fashion in order to manage your expectations. It is not that we don’t want to give you a clear view of the likely outcome. It is because the outcomes will truly depend on how the facts of your particular case come together before the court.

That being said, child support payments are often the exception to that rule. When children primarily reside with one parent and the other parent has lesser parenting time (usually less than 40 percent over a year), child support is

the one topic that can be discussed with relative confidence in the outcome.

There are a number of websites that can assist families in determining the proper amount of child support payable to the primary parent in accordance with the Child Support Guidelines. You enter the gross amount of the payor’s income, the number of children and the province of residence. A monthly child support payment amount will be provided.

The Guidelines were created in order to streamline the decisions about how much child support should be payable. A complex calculation on the true costs of raising children is included within the calculation. The Guidelines take out the ‘guessing work’ of

what is the proper amount of monthly support based on the payor’s gross income.

It is the right of the child to receive child support and it is the obligation of both parents to provide support. Use the Guidelines to assist your family in determining what is the proper amount of that support. If you do end up in court, the Guidelines will be used and you will end up in the same position – except with legal bills added to your expenses. *Only my clients get my legal advice.

Council votes to reprimand Councillor Towndale for breach of Code of Conduct NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall City Council voted to reprimand Councillor Justin Towndale for a social media post he made in May of 2020. Seaway News reached out to Councillor Towndale on Monday morning with questions about his social media remarks and his reaction to the report, but received no reply at time of publication. At issue was a social media post Towndale made upon learning of former Fire Chief Pierre Voisine resigning his post with the city and taking a new job in Clarence-Rockland.

“Just found out our Fire Chief is leaving for the same job in Clarence-Rockland. Know how I found out? Someone sent me a screenshot of the press release from Clarence-Rockland. I would have expected this sort of news from our administration, or Chief himself, first. #cwlpoli Mind you, I guess I learned about our previous Manager of Environmental Services leaving for another municipality through the media, and not administration or herself, first. So I’m not exactly surprised. #cwlpoli,” reads Councillor Towndale’s tweets from May 20, 2020.

The City’s Integrity Commissioner Tony Fleming of Cunningham Swan Carty Little & Bonham LLP investigated two complaints that stemmed from the above tweets, one from the former Fire Chief, and another from CAO Maureen Adams. Fleming found that Towndale violated the City’s Code of Conduct section 6.1, 6.3 (c) in both complaints and 11.1 and 11.2

(a) in the second complaint. In Fleming’s report, he outlined Councillor Towndale’s history of seeking timely information from administration and his expressed frustration at perceived lapses of being provided information in a timely manner.

“Member Towndale knew that his public criticisms of administration were unwelcome. He admitted in his written response to the complaint that he was being critical of staff in social media, but he attempts to justify his behaviour by claiming that he is reporting the truth. This is not a valid defence and the Integrity Commissioner finds that Councillor Towndale deliberately used social media to denigrate the reputation of senior staff, particularly the CAO, to further his personal agenda to correct what he perceives as inadequate reporting of certain incidents by staff. This, despite having no formal policy and despite losing a motion in 2016 to enact such a policy,” – Integrity Commissioner Fleming’s report on the second complaint.

Fleming recommended that Councillor Towndale be reprimanded and that he be barred from making critical remarks about City administration on social media.

“Councillor Towndale has shown no remorse or even understanding of why his behaviour is not appropriate. In addition, when asked by the Mayor to engage with staff to try to resolve his concerns his response is to refuse to speak with staff,” the second Integrity Commissioner’s report goes on to read in the Conclusion.

Of Cornwall’s 11 Council members, nine

voted in favour of reprimanding Councillor Towndale, with only Councillor Eric Bergeron voting against the reprimand.

“I believe in my two and a half years of politics that Councillor Towndale advocates for accountability more than anyone else in politics,” said Councillor Bergeron. “I don’t think Councillor Towndale disrespects our administration, so I won’t be supporting this.”

Furthermore, Councillor Bergeron stated that he did not believe that Councillor Towndale’s post amounted to a breach of the Code of Conduct, something his other colleagues clearly disagreed with.

“I’m a black and white guy. If I’m at work and if I have any kind of issues at all, I go to the policy and procedures manual and the solution is right there in black and white and the answer is here in black and white,” said Councillor Todd Bennett. “It gives me no pleasure to give a reprimand in this case, but it is warranted in this case. I hope that we can all pick up the phone tomorrow, administration included and Councillor Towndale included and work together.”

Bennett commented that he believed that both CAO Maureen Adams and former Fire Chief Pierre Voisine did good work, and that so did Councillor Towndale. Mayor Bernadette Clement explained that criticism is something within a councillor’s right to make, but stated that there was an appropriate way to make such criticism.

“We should be able to criticize each other,”

Towndale. Photo from cornwall.ca Mayor Clement went on to say. “Criticism has to be done in a way that is respectful and appropriate. We have a Code of Conduct that is pretty black and white that says that this is not where criticism is to take place. I hope by passing this motion we leave it at that. Criticism is fair Councillor Towndale as always, but it has to be allowed in a framework as set out in our Code of Conduct.”

Council voted down a motion to bar Councillor Towndale from making references to City administration on social media. Both the first and second Integrity Commissioner reports is available on the City’s website. This story has been edited down for length. For the full story, please visit cornwallseawaynews.com

CORNWALL, Ontario – The 43rd annual Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake in support of Big Brothers/ Big Sisters (BBBS) Cornwall has raised $35,000, well over the stated $20,000 goal for this year.

This year’s event was done differently because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Instead of two bowling tournaments held over a weekend, this year’s event challenged bowlers to team up and bowl from their homes in support of BBBS Cornwall.

This year saw 21 teams sign up for a total of 82 participants.

Bowlers were encouraged to get creative and try to bowl in unique ways like using empty water bottles for pins, and socks instead of bowling balls. Bowling took place from Feb. 22 to March 8.

The top five fundraising teams in order were: Robert Bedard’s team from the Knights of Columbus, the Victim Services team, Kawartha Credit Union, the Job Zone team, and in fifth place Ronnie’s Cuties.

Robert Bedard and his Knights of Columbus team also won best bowling video.

“We are very pleased to have surpassed our goal and raised $35,000 for our mentoring programs,” said Crystal Regnier, Fundraising Coordinator with BBBS Cornwall.

“Thank you to our sponsors including our title sponsor Tim Horton’s and our amazing community fundraisers who made our event a success during these trying times. We couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped raise funds.

We had so much fun watching everyone’s videos and seeing their creative ways to bowl from home! We hope to be able to be back in

the bowling alleys next year and we look forward to seeing everyone when it is safe to do so.”

The money raised will be used to support BBBS Cornwall’s mentoring programs.

BBBS Cornwall is now in the early stages of planning their next fundraiser, their annual golf tournament which is scheduled to take place on July 14.

SG Council considers Peanut Line potential NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – South Glengarry Council heard a proposal from Township administration at their meeting on Monday, March 15 for a master plan for the development of the Peanut Line.

The Township of South Glengarry purchased the former railway line from Canadian Pacific Railway in 2009. Administration proposed issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) asking consultants to bid on the project of developing a master plan for the Peanut Line.

“I’ve heard from constituents, staff, council about what a jewel the Peanut Line is and the opportunities we have, what we are missing is a plan for it,” said Township Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Tim Mills. “The pandemic has brought to light a number of things where we see the outdoors differently, and the Peanut Line is certainly something we can capitalize on as a municipality . . .”

Township administration estimated that the cost of developing a master plan would be roughly $40,000, which raised concerns from

March came in like a lamb and with any luck will go out the same way. At this time of year most of us would be planning for the March Break, however, this year the break has been moved back to April to allow the

some members of council.

“This is a big plus for this community and it is a great thing, but we need to get people together and talking about it. I’m not ready to spend $40,000 yet. I’d rather see that go into brushing and gravel and re-visited it at some point and do it properly,” said Councillor Martin Lang.

Administration told council that much of that estimated $40,000 cost would be due to public consultations.

Other members of council felt that without a master plan, the Peanut Line would remain undeveloped as it has for the past 12 years.

“I 100 per cent disagree. I think the reason that nothing’s been done since 2009 is because Council has not invested in a master plan. We have asset management plans for our roads . . . I feel like this is the start to putting the plan in place. Yes, it is $40,000, but I feel like if we don’t do it we’re not going to ever get off the ground. I feel like having a third party come in to do it, it give a level playing field,” said Deputy Mayor Lyle Warden.

Council members debated as to whether it new vaccines time to take effect and have the best possible impact on our community.

Dr. Paul and his team at the Eastern Ontario Health Unit have been diligently working towards the goal of vaccinating our most vulnerable community members. I am happy to share that all our long-term care homes and retirement residences have received both doses of the vaccine. Over the last couple of months, I have received many inquiries about vaccination timelines, appointments and delays. I understand that everyone would like to get back to normal as soon as possible. The EOHU has a good plan and pending delivery of vaccine I am confident that every resident of South Glengarry

Ultimately, Council asked administration to who wishes to be vaccinated will have the opportunity before the end of the summer.

We need to hang in there a bit longer.

Please continue to follow the public health guidelines, wear a mask, frequently wash or sanitize your hands, stay home when you are sick and get tested if you need to. As we move forward, you will see the vaccination plan be widely implemented and before long many restrictions will start to be removed but until then please continue to follow EOHU guidelines.

Go get vaccinated NICK SEEBRUCH

One year ago this week the City of Cornwall, the United Counties of SD&G and the United Counties of Prescott-Russell issued a joint Declaration of Emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Almost exactly a year later we have now seen over 17,000 residents of the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) region vaccinated, with a goal of vaccinating another 25,000 by the end of April.

In that time in between, we have seen shutdowns, a stay-at-home order, businesses struggle, 74 COVID-19 outbreaks at long-term care facilities and tragically lost 69 residents from across the region to this virus.

All of this hardship that we’ve had to endure, including not being able to see our loved ones for months and months has led us to this promised point in time, the time for vaccinations.

It is incredible really, that in a little over a year a virus that was unknown to science has had a vaccine developed for it and is in the process of being distributed worldwide.

Everyone has gone through a lot to get to this point. There isn’t anyone I think who hasn’t been changed forever by this pandemic, but there is still one more thing that we all need to do, and that is to get vaccinated.

To get back to a normal life, with events, indoor dining, and thriving businesses everyone needs to do their part and get the vaccine.

Let me dispel some myths. First, just like the flu vaccine doesn’t give you the flu, the COVID19 vaccine won’t give you COVID. There are those who experience some symptoms after getting the vaccine such as headache, tiredness, maybe a slight fever, etc. This is just means that the vaccine is working. A vaccine works by generating an immune response so that your immune system can identify the real virus when it tries to attack the body, and this is what those who experience vaccine side effects are experiencing after they get their shot.

To those who say, “well, I’d rather just get my immunity from getting the virus,” I say this sounds reckless and crazy to me for a few reasons.

First of all, you’d rather trust a new and relatively unknown virus with your health than medical professionals who’ve studied the virus and have worked hard this past year to fight it? You’re certain that your immune system will create the perfect future defence against COVID-19 after contracting the disease instead of a vaccine designed to fight it?

Second, while there may be mild side effects after getting a vaccine shot, the long-term side effects of COVID-19 could be much worse. We already know of the so-called long-haulers, who have experienced ongoing COVID-19 symptoms long after their first infection.

In Seaway News in January we shared the story of Ian St. John, a healthy adult who was still struggling with COVID-19 side effects long after his diagnosis. He went from being perfectly healthy to having diabetes, COPD, and high blood pressure after getting COVID. Beyond the short-term effects of COVID-19 there is also the question of long-term illness that could return after being infected. Chicken Pox is a good example of this. It presents as a relatively mild illness in children but can return in adults as excruciatingly painful Shingles.

Again, this is a brand-new virus. How sure can someone be that their COVID-19 infection won’t return as something worse later in life?

Starting this week those aged 75 and over are eligible to get their COVID-19 vaccine shot.

If there is someone you know is eligible check on them and ask if they’ve gotten their vaccine and help them if they need help to book an appointment.

Vaccine appointments for those who are currently eligible can be made at covid-19.ontario. ca/covidvaccine The EOHU is asking residents to observe the following rules when they are ready to be vaccinated: · Verify the vaccine clinic location of your appointment that is confirmed upon booking. Clinic locations may vary as there are multiple sites and some that move from one facility to another. · Bring your completed consent form to the clinic. If you don’t have access to a printer, you will be able to complete the form onsite. · Do not arrive any earlier than 5 minutes before your appointment time. Wait in your car until your appointment time.

Please go get vaccinated. Let’s make COVID-19 history.

What do you think of the vaccination rollout and have you had your vaccine yet?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR nseebruch@seawaynews.media

Arts Centre needs sustainable plan Dear Editor, Ask anyone, “Should Cornwall have a new Arts and Culture Center “and I would think many, like me, would say “of course!”. That being said as with any good idea all have at least one drawback. In this case, like most, the obvious number one is M O N E Y. I would like to take it one step beyond that and it involves that “ nearly “ 170,000 yearly deficit.

Lets stand back and break it down monthly to 14,166.66, if it helps envision the times ahead better.

Reality prompts that this total is a fickle guess- especially as we are not out of this pandemic yet and don’t know what costs will be once, hopefully, we are back to normal. To me, the number one drawback is not money but its close cousin- sustainability. As in any new relationship the beginning is exciting, auspicious, full of possibility but after a couple pf years, when the novelty wears away, that 14,166.66+ morphs into something else- a burden.

While it is indeed important that the people of Cornwall be sold on the idea, so too, does the City of Cornwall, its Council, need to be committed to the project and ready to sell it beyond “ Cornwall walls “. While the quote for the cost of renovations is an important aspect, we also need to go above that mentioned business plan and develop a feasible study on how we could offset this yearly deficit, keep support alive, and simply succeed with a city the size of Cornwall.

How many raffles would it take, how many wine and cheese fundraisers. Would rented space for painting, music or acting workshops be an option, or creative writing courses or rehearsal room rentals, how do we go about attracting art or interesting exhibits, on loan, from other Canadian museums, or foreign sources. What will it take to keep up interest, to help sustain 159 Pitt Street AND what and who will be paying for the bulk of that yearly 170,000.

There is no reason to put up prestigious, costly walls, only to abandon them a few years later, because this wonderful idea just couldn’t make it.

One of my best friend’s grandmother was a Cornwall artist, nothing would be more satisfying than to see her beautiful work displayed at a Cornwall locale, especially one as impressive as the one depicted in the Seaway News last week.

This goes beyond just wanting, it will take a strong, tight, yet creative, hand to navigate costs (wasted money just sinks ships), it needs a group of varied, talented, diverse individuals to form a competent Board of Directors and it will take the support of most, not the few. The people of Cornwall would be more ready for a major project like this if a clear plan of “sustainability“ were offered. Present a lustrous, stable, and upkept path, and people will follow.

the school’s physical fitness director John Metcalf said in a letter to the editor on March 22, 1960.

In the 1930s the prestigious Ontario legion track meet was staged at the Athletic Grounds and attracted some of the best track and field athletes in the country.

The school had neither a track nor football field and used the track and field at the Athletic Grounds. The school would get its track and football field years later when the school board acquired several residential properties on the west side of Amelia Street.

Lieutenant Colonel Anthony (Tony) Johnson is getting into the moving business ... in a big way.

The 48-year-old Cornwall native and Royal Canadian Air Force 16-year veteran has spent the last two years working in the United States as part of NASA’s Human Space Flight Support program. Johnson and his team of U. S Air Force personnel developed a contingency plan to recover astronauts if a space launch or re-entry had to be aborted.

The St. Joseph’s High School graduate, who holds a bachelor of arts degree from Carleton University and Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from Royal Roads in Victoria, B.C., spent six of the last eight years working with U.S. military personnel. Prior to that he did two tours in Afghanistan. Johnson’s first exchange tour was with the U.S. Southern Command based in Miami. When he finished the tour the chief of Southern Command awarded him a commendation (rare for a foreign military member) for his work with the Command With the second U.S. assignment behind him, Johnson is landing back at 8 Wing Trenton. On Thursday (March 25) he becomes the new commanding officer of 2 Air Movement Squadron. Johnson takes the helm of a squadron that is responsible for moving everything from passengers to freight.

The unit’s motto is “Nunquam non Paratus – Never Unprepared”.

On average, the Trenton-based squadron moves more than 36 million pounds of freight and 42,000 passengers each year. Those are major commercial airport numbers. It transports military equipment and supplies across Canada and where the country’s military is deployed overseas.

“I enjoyed the experience of working with the Americans but it is good to be back in Canada.” he said. “I’m looking forward to my new job.”

Johnson said the foundation for his climb through the ranks was laid right here in Cornwall at the Cornwall Armoury where as a 17-year-old high school student he decided to sign up with the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders’ reserve unit.

The experience whetted his appetite for a military career. A choice he has never regretted.

“The training I received (as a Highlander) was fantastic,” he said. “The command was superb and I learned a lot. It helped make what I am today.”

Married with two children, he is the son of Cornwall defence attorney Don Johnson and the late Linda Johnson. His brother Patrick, a sergeant, who also served in Afghanistan is stationed at Trenton.

LOOKING BACK – 1960 The decision to eliminate the quarter-mile cinder track, once considered one of the finest in Ontario, to make room for the youth arena (Bob Turner Memorial Centre) at the Athletic Grounds could spell the end to the track and field program at Cornwall Collegiate,

CORNWALL, Ontario – The second round of the Regional Emergency Response Council (RERC)’s food hamper program has come to a close and their after-action report details how successful the program was, and how much it was needed.

Seaway opens for navigation season NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

SAINT-LAMBERT, Quebec – The St. Lawrence Seaway opened for its 63rd shipping navigation season on Monday morning, March 22, 2021.

The Baie St. Paul Trillium-Class Laker was the first ship through the St. Lambert loch, which was celebrated in a virtual ceremony with representatives from the Canadian and American governments as well as the Canadian St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation and the American U.S. Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development

Corporation.

“The St. Lawrence Seaway has been a cornerstone of Canada’s economic success for more than 60 years, through the creation of thousands of middle-class jobs, and the generation of more than $9 billion in Canadian economic activity,” said Canadian the Minister of Transport, the Honourable Omar Alghabra. “This valuable partnership and trade route will play a vital role in our efforts to building back better through strong economic recovery.”

Despite protocols put in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no

interruption in shipping during the 2020 navigation season which saw 38 million tonnes of cargo transit through the St. Lawrence Seaway.

“The Seaway’s consistently high level of system availability contributes to a robust, competitive Great Lakes – St. Lawrence Seaway transportation route,” said Terence Bowles, President and Chief Executive Officer of the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation. “We provide convenient access to an impressive number of industries, ports, highway and rail networks.”

Maxville Manor will be getting 22 new long-term care spaces NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

MAXVILLE, Ontario – The province of Ontario has announced a $933 million investment in the long-term care sector. As a part of that announcement, Maxville Manor will be receiving funding to add 38 new long-term care spaces to their facility and upgrade 122 existing spaces.

Once their new building is completed, the Maxville Manor campus will be able to house 160 long-term care spaces.

“This is extraordinary news,” said Amy Por teous, Chief Executive Officer of Maxville Manor. “Maxville Manor is thrilled with the announcement that it has been allocated 38 new LTC beds and will be able

to upgrade its current 122 beds. The project will result in a 160-bed home through the construction of a new part of its building as part of a campus of care. This will help to ensure that we continue to provide high quality care and to meet the needs of this community.”

MPP for Stormont, Dundas, and South Glengarr y Jim McDonell praised the announcement.

“These important investments continue our commitment to address the shortage of long-term care beds in our region,” he said. “Our seniors deserve quality of life, which includes the best care and safe and modern accommodations.”

with,” Hayman said.

Hayman explained that the FoodCycler reduced the space taken up by organic waste by 90 per cent and reduced the amount of methane that organic waste emits by 95 per cent. Methane gas is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect and global warming.

According to NASA, methane gas is 28-times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide.

“We believe the best way to deal with waste is to not create it in the first place, or to deal with it in the home,” Hayman said.

He went on to explain how diverting or reducing the footprint of organic waste in landfills could also save municipalities money in the order of approximately $100 per tonne of waste.

FoodCycler has already conducted a pilot program with the municipality of Nelson, BC,

where FoodCyclers were given to some residents to try out.

They found that the program had great effect in reducing waste being sent to the municipality’s landfill.

“Results were overwhelmingly positive. We saw a great reduction in food waste,” said Hayman, who suggested that the cost of a FoodCycler would be offset by savings in waste collection.

Hayman suggested a pilot program for the Township of South Glengarry, with costs for a FoodCycler offset by a municipally funded subsidy.

“We thought this would be a concept that South Glengarry should consider for many reasons,” said Councillor Stephanie Jaworski, who first heard Hayman’s presentation when it was brought to the Environment Committee.

“Running the landfill is expensive. If you can

South Glengarry considers FoodCycler pilot program NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – At their meeting on Monday, March 15, the Township of South Glengarry Council heard a presentation from FoodCycler, about how their product can help save the environment, and taxpayer money.

Alexander Hayman of FoodCycler explained how his company’s product, the FoodCycler reduces organic waste in landfills by turning that waste into odorless nutrient rich soil amendment that can be used for fertilizer, can be pelletized for home heating, and more.

The kitchen appliance, which is about the size of a bread machine, can breakdown organic waste in a matter of hours.

“At FoodCycler we’ve proposed a different way to deal with our food waste which really focuses on the food waste really easy to deal

reduce how much you send to the landfill, particularly at its source, that could translate into savings.”

Deputy Mayor Lyle Warden also saw the potential in the pilot program, and made a suggestion for how the cost of a FoodCycler might be offset by the municipality.

“I would definitely support a pilot project. If we spent $10,000 out of the dump reserve we could definitely see returns on the investment,” Warden said. “We have to be proactive.

Every tonne that we can divert is a real savings.”

South Glengarry is not the only township in the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry that is considering a FoodCycler pilot program, South Dundas is as well.

FoodCycler is a company that was founded in Cornwall in 2011 and has since expanded to Ottawa.

CDSBEO Mourns the passing of Trustee, Robin Reil KEMPTVILLE, Ontario - The CDSBEO is saddened to share that Robin Reil, Trustee for the City of Brockville, Town of Smiths Falls, and Leeds County, has passed away at the age of 72 years.

Trustee Reil served on the Board of Trustees for nearly 18 years, serving as Vice-Chair for 2016-2017. After graduating from Teachers College in Ottawa in 1969, Trustee Reil was hired to his first teaching position with the Lanark, Leeds & Grenville Roman Catholic Separate School Board at Sacred Heart of Jesus in Lanark. Between 1969 and 2001, he held positions in Lanark, Perth, Westport, Brockville and Prescott as teacher, vice-principal, and principal.

Throughout his many years in education,

Trustee Reil set a great example as a faith leader and dedicated Catholic educator who always held student well-being as his highest priority. “I believe in the dignity and self-worth of each individual child,” he once wrote in a letter to the Board. “The more positive the child’s self-image, the more receptive that child is to learning. The same holds true for each staff member.”

Trustee Reil was also well known as a pioneer in energy conservation and environmental awareness, and his active role in these initiatives led to many exemplary school programs and activities.

“Trustee Reil has been a champion for Catholic schools and our board for over 50 years,” said Board Chair, Todd Lalonde. “His dedication and enthusiasm as an educator and trustee is unparalleled, and we will miss his

presence at the Board table immensely. Robin truly enjoyed being in our schools and was very proud of the work and accomplishments of our students and staff. He has, on many occasions, shared fond stories of his time as an educator, and I can say that we have truly lost not only a dear friend, but a strong advocate for Catholic education.”

“As a valued member of our Catholic school community, Trustee Reil’s absence will undoubtedly leave a significant void. He has been an outstanding leader, a colleague, and a friend for many, many years, and he has served this community with devotion, passion, and pride,” noted John Cameron, Director of Education.

The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario operates 39 elementary and 10 secondary schools across eight counties. The

St. Lawrence College receives provincial funding to cover COVID costs nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – St. Lawrence College is receiving $6.4 million in federal funding to offset costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“This support from Ontario’s government will have a remarkable and immediate impact for our college and our students, and will benefit the communities we serve,” said Glenn Vollebregt, President and CEO of St. Lawrence College. “The funding will mean increased stability in many areas, and recovery in others as we continue to ensure our students can be successful in their programs and join the workforce. Our Kingston, Brockville, and Cornwall campuses have strong connections to employers and industry throughout Eastern Ontario and beyond, and this investment will protect us from lost momentum related to the pandemic.

I am very thankful Ontario’s government sees the value colleges and our students provide,

and we will continue working together towards a full recovery from COVID-19 and its effects.”

The funding will be used to offset lost revenue as well as costs related to the purchase of Personal Protective Equipment and enhanced cleaning.

“The postsecondary sector is critical to Ontario’s prosperity as a key source of job creation, skills training, research, innovation and commercialization, making it one of the leading contributors to Ontario’s economic recovery,” said Ross Romano, Minister of Colleges and Universities. “We need to make sure that students continue to receive high-quality postsecondary education and get the skills they need to get good jobs. That is why we are establishing a fund for severely impacted colleges and universities to help address the financial impacts of COVID-19 and to maintain Ontario’s position as a global leader in higher education.”

As our province-wide vaccination program surpasses 1 million doses, the Federal Government now forecasts a substantial increase in deliveries.

New sectors, such as 80 and over seniors, and those receiving home care, and others, will now be eligible for their vaccinations sooner. The new accelerated program will require more health practitioners and the engagement of local government, not-for-profit organizations, and private businesses to inoculate our residents with the new vaccines.

Automated robocalls are being sent out by the vaccination team, led by Medical Officer of Health Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, to provide detailed appointment booking instructions. The provincial online booking portal is scheduled to go live on Monday, March 15, for those 80 years old and older.

Additional Phase 2 groups will be added to the portal as more vaccine deliveries are received. A new helpline will be established to answer questions and help those having trouble registering.

Residents unable to attend in person may be able to receive their shot at home. Please check the Eastern Ontario Health Unit for the latest information at www.eohu.ca.

This week, I had the privilege of speaking to several legislature bills, including Bill 257, Supporting Broadband and Infrastructure Expansion Act. This legislation aims to remove barriers to help ensure timely deployment of reliable, high-speed broadband infrastructure in unserved and underserved areas throughout the province. Studies show that Ontario has become the most expensive jurisdiction in North America to place fibre cable facilities, considered the best solution in providing highspeed broadband service. This bill will make a measurable impact on the 700,000 Ontario households that lack reliable high-speed broadband. Since 2019, our government has committed

nearly $1 billion over six years to address this technology deficit.

The triple threat has hit Ontario’s tourism sector as COVID-19 created a health, economic and social crisis. Throughout the pandemic, Minister Lisa MacLeod has remained committed to engaging with stakeholders, partners and agencies to fully understand the economic impacts on the heritage, sport, tourism and culture sectors.

This week, Minister MacLeod announced a Tourism Economic Recovery Ministerial Task Force to give expert advice and recommendations on helping the province’s $36 billion tourism industry recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Its mandate includes providing strategies and advice that help position Ontario and its local communities as destinations of choice for travel, and identify travel and tourism incentives, products, and experiences that enhance destination development. The tourism sector supports more than 400,000 jobs province-wide. The task force, chaired by former Minister of Tourism Tim Hudak, will report back by late spring.

Ontario launched the Social Services Relief Fund in March 2020 to help protect the health and safety of the province’s most vulnerable people during COVID-19. As part of its Community Housing Renewal Strategy and response to COVID-19, Ontario is investing approximately $1.75 billion in 2020-2021 to help sustain, repair and grow community housing to address homelessness. This week we announced $3,521,944 to help the City of Cornwall Social Services respond to an increase in COVID-19 cases in some emergency shelters and help keep vulnerable people safe throughout our region. The COVID-19 pandemic has placed extra demands on shelters to provide a safe place for people in need, and this funding will give these shelters the additional support they need to stop the spread of COVID-19 as they work to ensure everyone can find and keep a safe and secure roof over their head.

As always, remember to stay home, stay safe and save lives. Your health and that of your loved ones may depend on it.

Profitez d’une délicieuse expérience en plein air à la Forêt Oschmann de North Dundas les 27 et 28 mars COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LA CNS

NORTH DUNDAS, Ontario - Joignez-vous à la Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) pour une fin de semaine à saveur d’érable les 27 et 28 mars, afin de découvrir le doux monde du sirop d’érable de l’Ontario à l’aire de conservation de la Forêt Oschmann, dans le canton de North Dundas.

L’aire de conservation de la Forêt Oschmann comprend un sentier d’interprétation de la nature de 1,2 km avec panneaux bilingues qui renseignent sur la production de sirop d’érable et son histoire, sur les Premières nations et l’écologie de la forêt. Les familles peuvent visiter la forêt pour faire une promenade autoguidée et le personnel de la CNS sera sur place pour accueillir les visiteurs avec du chocolat chaud et des friandises à l’érable gratuits de 10 h à 14 h au cours de ces deux journées.

La forêt située sur le chemin Ormond est un don de la famille Oschmann fait à la CNS en 2017 ; la famille Oschmann y a produit du sirop d’érable pendant de nombreuses années et la cabane à sucre d’origine est toujours là.

Grâce à des partenariats municipaux et communautaires et à des collectes de fonds, la sève coule à nouveau des érables de la forêt, et la propriété accueille désormais le Programme éducatif sur le sirop d’érable de l’Office de protection de la nature.

En temps normal, plus de 1 000 élèves se rendraient dans la forêt au printemps pour participer à ce programme d’éducation pratique en plein air qui complète le programme d’études de l’Ontario, mais la pandémie a de nouveau empêché la CNS de faire venir des élèves sur place.

L’Association des producteurs de sirop d’érable de l’Ontario a également annoncé récemment l’annulation de l’événement de la Fin de semaine de l’érable de l’Ontario, qui a lieu chaque année durant le premier week-end d’avril, et qui voit plus de 15 000 personnes visiter les érablières participantes en Ontario.

La CNS s’est adaptée au climat pandémique actuel en organisant des excursions virtuelles pour les écoles, et a récemment diffusé de nouvelles vidéos à plus de 30 000 élèves de l’Ottawa Catholic School Board ; l’Office de protection de la nature invite aussi les familles à visiter le parc et à profiter d’une expérience d’apprentissage gratuite, en plein air et véritablement canadienne. « Les exploitations acéricoles de l’Ontario sont réputées pour produire un sirop de qualité parmi les meilleurs au monde. Bien que la Fin de semaine de l’érable de l’Ontario soit annulée cette année, les sentiers d’interprétation de la Forêt Oschmann sont ouverts aux visites autoguidées, la sève coule et nous serons sur place les 27 et 28

mars pour accueillir les visiteurs avec du chocolat chaud et des friandises à l’érable de provenance locale distribués gratuitement », a déclaré Kelsey Smith, adjointe à l’intendance et à la sensibilisation de la CNS. Même si la Fin de semaine de l’érable en Ontario est annulée cette année, plusieurs cabanes à sucre et crêperies traditionnelles sont ouvertes avec des plans modifiés. La CNS recommande vivement aux familles intéressées d’appeler à l’avance et de faire des réservations aux sites des producteurs de sirop d’érable avant de partir.

Aucune réservation n’est nécessaire pour les aires de conservation de la CNS, qui sont ouvertes tous les jours pendant la journée.

L’aire de conservation de la Forêt Oschmann est située au 12301 chemin Ormond, à environ 10 kilomètres au nord de Winchester. La CNS demande aux visiteurs de respecter la distance physique, d’éviter de se rassembler sur les sentiers et d’envisager de porter des masques lorsqu’ils partagent les sentiers avec d’autres personnes.

Life is just one separation after another!

Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

You don’t remember the first separation you ever experienced, the one that came after nine months of life with your closest relative.

Then came another separation, from the breast or bottle. That separation was more gradual than the first, and as a reward we were able to take nourishment in the form of candy, potato chips and hot dogs.

Starting to attend school is one of the major separations in life. Some children cry in terror at the thought of going to school.

Others weep for joy. School separates us from the familiarity of home. To some, home was a security blanket, to others it was a wall that we yearned to climb, so that the beyond could be explored. For some, school offered new friendships, stimulating experiences and adventure. For others, school was

an escape from boredom, or neglect, or perhaps even from abuse.

Going to summer camp was another separation experience that is treated differently by each child. To some, it was a time of trying to cling onto the parent dropping us off, followed by the miseries of homesickness. To others it was a opening to the greens of the forest, the blues of sparkling waters and unfamiliar sounds in the night.

High school brings separation from the familiarity of the local neighbourhood, exposure to unfamiliar teachers, strange routines and loss of childhood companions.

Some are ready for the even greater separation that enrolling in university requires.

Separation from home, parents, siblings, familiar neighbourhood can bring on maturity or rampant immaturity, self-discipline or running the streets like an ill-disciplined dog on the loose.

The first full-time job separates us from dependency upon others. It may require taking a position Up North, Out West, or even overseas. This relocation is no longer just a

daily commute from home, nor a semester-long absence. Absence from home may last a year, or even a lifetime.

With a career comes a salary, but also separation from some of it when income tax time comes.

I separated from 30 years of big city life in Toronto to a home in a clearing carved out of a forest, five kilometers from the nearest village.

Marriage involves separation too. Single friends drift away. Couples who have children form separate social circles from the singles and the childless couples. Eventually comes the empty nest syndrome. Our children move away in search of employment and big city life.

We tend to outlive our pets. When they depart, the sadness of separation comes.

Eventually, there comes downsizing from a 1,200 square foot home, plus a couple of storage sheds, to a ten by twelve long-term care residence. Eventually, we become separated from our accumulation of stuff.

We are but pilgrims here. “There ain’t no

TWO TWOS – Just as with these four crows, we may spend much of our life as a couple, and with other couples. Eventually, inevitably, we leave as just one. (Photo by Nick Wolochatiuk)

pockets in a shroud and there’s no U-haul trailer towed behind a hearse.”

Separation: it’s part of life. It’s inevitable.

CORNWALL, Ontario – The province of Ontario announced on Thursday, March 18 that it had approved funding for the creation of 10 new childcare spaces to École élémentaire catholique Marie-Tanguay, operated by the Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO) in Cornwall.

“The funding for this child care addition to École élémentaire catholique Marie-Tanguay is great news for our community,” said Jim McDonell, MPP for Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry. “This investment will provide choice and flexibility for families and new opportunities for the children of Cornwall.”

The $608,536 in funding will be used to add a new room to Marie-Tanguay’s Centre de ressources familiales de l’Estrie (CRFE) daycare centre.

“Supporting parental choice by providing access to safe, affordable, and high quality child care is a top prioritiy for our government, which is why we are acting to create more child care spaces across the province,” said Education Minister Stephen Lecce. “By funding a new child care centre addition to École élémentaire catholique Marie-Tanguay, our government is delivering real support and affordable options for Cornwall families.”

According to the CSDCEO’s website the

Regional Incentives Program Amendment for The United Counties of Stormont Dundas and Glengarry

TAKE NOTICE – that the Council of the Corporation of the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry (SDG) will hold a Public Meeting on behalf of the six local SDG municipalities as per Section 28 of the Planning Act on Thursday, April 8, 2021, commencing at 6:00 P.M. on Zoom.

Avis de Travaux de construction

THE PURPOSE AND EFFECT – The purpose of the Public Meeting is to provide an opportunity for Council to receive input from the public and stakeholders in respect to a proposed Amendment to the SDG Regional Incentives Program Official Document and Terms of Reference.

Contrat MTO 2018-4008 Remplacement des ponts de l’autoroute 401, de la rivière Raisin et de la route de comté 2/34

The amendment is intended to modify the eligibility criteria relating to the program and to adjust the funding parameters of the grant categories. The modifications are also intended to correct technical errors and clarify policies for ease of use and interpretation.

R.W Tomlinson Limited tient à informer les résidents et les propriétaires d’entreprises que la construction de l’autoroute 401 va bientôt commencer sur 6 km entre les ponts de la rivière Raisin et l’échangeur de la route de comté 2/34.

The SDG Regional Incentives Program and Action Plan was implemented in 2018 after a year of review and public consultations. The program supports strategic economic development initiatives in the following areas: • Tourism, agriculture-related, agri-tourism uses, and facility improvement projects.

• Adaptive re-use of commercial, institutional, and industrial buildings.

• Development of permanent, roofed accommodations.

Ce à quoi vous pouvez vous attendre cette année : • La construction reprendra le lundi 29 mars 2021.

• Construction d’un nouveau passage inférieur sur la route de comté 2/34. L’ouverture est prévue pour août 2021. Travaux de construction sur le pont de la rivière Raisin sur l’autoroute 401 en direction de l’est.

• L’autoroute 401 sera réduite à une voie pendant la durée d’avril à décembre 2021. La vitesse sera réduite à 80 km/h pendant les fermetures de voies.

• Un passage temporaire et des déviations signalisées seront mis en place entre mai et novembre 2021 pour faciliter les travaux sur le pont de la rivière Raisin sur l’autoroute 401 en direction de l’est.

• Fermeture complète de l’autoroute 401 en septembre 2021 pour la démolition du pont existant à route de comté 2/34

Regional financial incentives are available in the following municipalities: • The Township of North Dundas • The Municipality of South Dundas • The Township of North Stormont • The Township of South Stormont • The Township of North Glengarry • The Township of South Glengarry The SDG Regional Incentives Program is incorporated into each local municipal Community Improvement Plan (CIP) and offers additional economic development tools. The proposed amendments would only apply to the County-related portions of the CIP and would be identical for all municipalities.

September 04, 1933 – March 17, 2021

A remarkable story of love has drawn to its earthly close. On Wednesday, March 17, 2021 as we tenderly held her hands while her favourite music from Handel’s Messiah played, this ever-gracious lady passed away. For 87 years, she inspired friends, family and her many communities with a formidable strength and ever-present kindness. It would never have been long enough.

Her parents Alain-Marie Le Sann and Euphrasie Kerleroux left the Bretagne region of France in the early 1900s to pursue an agricultural vocation in Western Canada. Under the vast open skies of the Prairies, she was born on the farm in Saskatchewan and given the distinctive name Euphrasie (Phrasie) which so befitted her singular charm. The family would soon move to Elie, Manitoba where she grew up, steeped in the wheat farming values of hard work, family, and the love of Canada.

She was predeceased by her brothers Frank, Alain, Armand and Yves, by her sisters Marie McCreight and Anne-Marie Bansfield, and by her brothers-in-law Max McCreight, Joe Raverty and Normand Bernard and sisters-in-law Kathy and Doris. She is survived by her sisters Josephine Bernard and Aline Raverty, by her brother-in-law Irving Bansfield, her sisters-in-law Emma and Ellie as well as by many nieces and nephews.

With her keen mind she obtained degrees from both Collège St-Boniface and the University of Manitoba which led her to Montreal, where she taught French at Marymount High School. Her exquisite proficiency in French, her maternal language, was highly regarded and she obtained a further degree in translation from l’Université de Montréal. Her ready smile and twinkling eyes drew the attention of a fine young man originally from Trinidad & Tobago, Hubert Clement, who like her parents had also come to Canada in search of opportunity. Hubert became the love of her life for nearly 57 years. He became our dear good Pop, whom we will continue to surround and honour with love.

They shared a devotion to teaching as they served their community side-by-side. While their brave bi-racial love story was not accepted by all in the 1960s, Euphrasie and Hubert were blessed with three children, daughters Bernadette and Catherine and son Joseph (Lisa Elkin) whom they raised with serenity and respect for the diversity of Creation. Joe and Lisa’s five children Mathieu, Emily, Jacob, Julia, and Alice continue in this tradition as outstanding Canadians.

Her family was a source of immense joy and great pride. Her children and grandchildren consider themselves blessed by the imprint of love and kindness she has left upon them, as do her many dear friends who were graced by her spirit. We entrust Euphrasie to God now, to carry on this love story for its Heavenly sequel.

In accordance with current pandemic requirements, only immediate family and friends will be able to attend the funeral Mass which will be celebrated at St. Ignatius of Loyola Church, 4455 rue West Broadway in Montreal on Thursday. March 25, 2021 at 11.am Eastern Daylight Time. Through the wonders of technology guests throughout Canada and across the ocean in France may attend virtually through https://youtu.be/1nbFYlu7MDs .

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Côte-Saint-Luc Public library https://csllibrary.org/donations/), to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts or to the charity of your choice to honour Euphrasie’s memory. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to the Mount Royal Cemetery and Funeral Complex, 1297 Chemin de la Forêt, Outremont, Québec H2V 2P9.

Une histoire d’amour remarquable a touché à sa fin terrestre. Le mercredi 17 mars 2021, alors que nous lui tenions tendrement la main pendant que sa musique préférée du Messie de Haendel jouait, cette dame toujours gracieuse est décédée. Pendant 87 ans, elle a inspiré ses amis, sa famille et ses nombreuses communautés avec une force formidable et une gentillesse toujours présente. Cela n’aurait jamais été assez long.

Ses parents, Alain-Marie Le Sann et Euphrasie Kerleroux, ont quitté la région de la Bretagne en France au début des années 1900 pour poursuivre une vocation agricole dans l’Ouest canadien. Sous les vastes cieux ouverts des Prairies, elle est née sur la ferme de la Saskatchewan et a reçu le nom distinctif d’Euphrasie (Phrasie) qui correspondait à son charme singulier. La famille déménagerait bientôt à Elie, au Manitoba, où elle a grandi, trempée des valeurs de la culture du blé que sont le travail acharné, la famille et l’amour du Canada.

Elle fut prédécédée par ses frères Frank, Alain, Armand et Yves, par ses sœurs Marie McCreight et Anne-Marie Bansfield, par ses beaux-frères Joe Raverty et Normand Bernard et par ses belles-soeurs Kathy et Doris. Elle laisse dans le deuil ses sœurs Joséphine Bernard et Aline Raverty, son beau-frère Irving Bansfield, ses belles-sœurs Emma et Ellie ainsi que plusieurs nièces et neveux.

Avec son esprit vif, elle a obtenu des diplômes du Collège St-Boniface et de l’Université du Manitoba, ce qui l’a amenée à Montréal, où elle a enseigné le français à l’école secondaire Marymount. Son excellente maîtrise du français, sa langue maternelle, était très appréciée et elle a obtenu un diplôme supplémentaire en traduction de l’Université de Montréal. Son sourire radieux et ses yeux scintillants ont attiré l’attention d’un beau jeune homme originaire de Trinité-et-Tobago, Hubert Clement, qui, tout comme les parents d’Euphrasie, était également venu au Canada à la recherche d’opportunités. Hubert est devenu l’amour de sa vie pendant près de 57 ans. Il est devenu notre cher et bon Pop, que nous continuerons à apprécier et à entourer d’amour.

Ils partageaient une dévotion à l’enseignement alors qu’ils servaient leur communauté côte à côte. Si leur courageuse histoire d’amour bi-raciale n’a pas été acceptée par tous dans les années 1960, Euphrasie et Hubert ont eu la chance d’avoir trois enfants, les filles Bernadette et Catherine et le fils Joseph (Lisa Elkin) qu’ils ont élevés avec sérénité et respect pour la diversité de la Création. Les cinq enfants de Joe et Lisa, Mathieu, Emily, Jacob, Julia et Alice, perpétuent cette tradition en tant que Canadiens exceptionnels.

Sa famille était une source d’immense joie et de grande fierté. Ses enfants et petits-enfants se considèrent bénis par l’empreinte d’amour et de gentillesse qu’elle leur a laissée, tout comme les nombreuses chères personnes qui lui sont liées par l’amitié et qui ont été honorées par son esprit. Nous confions Euphrasie à Dieu maintenant, pour continuer cette histoire d’amour pour sa suite céleste.

Conformément aux exigences actuelles en matière de pandémie, seuls la famille immédiate et les proches pourront assister à la messe funéraire qui sera célébrée jeudi à l’église Saint-Ignace de Loyola, 4455 rue West Broadway à Montréal, le 25 mars 2021 à 11 h, heure avancée de l’Est. À travers les merveilles de la technologie, les invités de partout au Canada et de l’autre côté de l’océan en France peuvent y assister virtuellement via https://youtu.be/1nbFYlu7MDs .

Au lieu de fleurs, des dons peuvent être faits à la Bibliothèque publique de Côte-Saint-Luc (https://csllibrary.org/ donations/) au Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal ou à l’organisme de bienfaisance de votre choix, pour honorer la mémoire d’Euphrasie. Les arrangements funéraires ont été confiés au Cimetière et Complexe Funéraire Mont-Royal, 1297 Chemin de la Forêt, Outremont, Québec H2V 2P9.

I was in with a friend and have a bad knee so went to sit while I waited for her, but there were no benches to sit on. Well this young man named Hunter was going to bring me a wheel chair but found a chair instead. I just want to say thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and help.

Reader says: I’ve heard recently that our Mayor Bernadette Clement and some of the Cornwall city councillors have been receiving unkind emails and other communications from local citizens who are angry about the way that the Covid-19 vaccinations are being rolled out in our area. I’d like to make it clear that our Cornwall administration has absolutely nothing to do with the organization of the local distribution of vaccines. Our mayor and councillors have been working diligently throughout this pandemic emergency to ensure that vulnerable citizens in Cornwall don’t go hungry, remain safe, and in good spirits. Let’s send our city administration some encouragement instead.

EDITORIAL NOTE: I wish to make a brief comment about Councillor Justin Towndale’s reprimand from his colleagues on Cornwall City Council so it is clear for our readers. Councillor Towndale criticized staff members on social media, there is a specific section of their Code of Conduct that says not to do that.

Council was right to reprimand him.

Councillor Todd Bennett said it best: It is black and white. Councillor Towndale is a board member of a corporation. He has power over that corporation’s employees.

These employees cannot respond if a board member attacks them on social media. That is why this what happened is wrong.

PHASE 2 NOW OPEN

StoryWalk® a success for Summerstown Trails PROVIDED BY THE FRIENDS OF THE SUMMERSTOWN TRAILS SUMMERSTOWN, Ontario - It was a beautiful weekend for a walk in the forest, and the SDG Library and Friends of the Summerstown Trails (FOTST) made the most of it with their StoryWalk®activity.

Over 100 participants visited Summerstown Forest this past Saturday and Sunday to take part in this outdoor literary activity. Pages of the story “Be You!” by Canadianborn author and illustrator, Peter H. Reynolds, were posted along a family-friendly trail in the Forest. Participants could enjoy the positive messages and vivid illustrations found in the story as they made their way around the 1.7 km loop. While the story was a picture book, the encouraging messages were ones that would appeal to all ages with more than one participant remarking, “You couldn’t have

picked a better book!” “We had a fantastic response to the StoryWalk®.” said Susan Wallwork, Community Librarian.

“We were happy to see so many people come out to take part in the walk and very grateful for the support from the Friends of the Summerstown Trail volunteers who helped to make this a successful activity.”

Most of the walkers came from areas surrounding the Forest, but some made the trip from as far away as Crysler and Vankleek Hill. At the end of the walk, many asked about where and when the next StoryWalk®will be!

With such a great response, the Friends of the Summerstown Trails and the SDG Library look forward to partnering together again to offer another StoryWalk® at Summerstown Forest in the future. The Library will also be bringing StoryWalks® to other areas of SDG – watch for opportunities at sdglibrary.ca/virtual-programs.
