Police will not randomly stop pedestrians, vehicles NICK SEEBRUCH nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The provincial government has walked back a series of enchancements to police enforcement powers that were announced on Friday, April 16.

In a press conference on Friday, Ontario Solicitor General Sylvia Jones stated that police would be allowed to randomly stop pedestrians and vehicles and ask why they were outside of their residence.

Following a backlash from police forces across the province, including the Cornwall Police Service (CPS), Jones stated on Saturday evening that police would not stop anyone without a reasonable suspicion.

“If a police officer or other provincial offences officer has reason to suspect that you are participating in an organized public event or social gathering, they may require you to provide information to ensure you are complying with restrictions,” Jones said in a statement reported by the CBC. In a statement to media on Saturday, Savannah Lapensee of the Boys and Girls Club of Cornwall is a winner of the prestigious Regional Youth Award. See page 4 for the full story.

CPS stated that while they would be reviewing the new enforcement powers handed down by the Ford government, they would not be randomly stopping pedestrians to inquire why they are outside of their home.

“Moving forward, police will have the authority to require any individual who is not in a place of residence to, first, provide their purpose for not being at home, and provide their home address,” Ontario Solicitor General Sylvia Jones during a press conference on Friday announcing the new COVID-19 enforcement measures.

The CPS stated that they would continue to respond to calls and complaints regarding violations of the COVID-19 restrictions.

“With our health care system in a critical state, we all must do our part in order to limit the spread of COVID-19,” said Chief of Police, Danny Aikman. “The Cornwall Police Service will continue to uphold the law through a means of education, engagement and enforcement for anyone who refuses to comply with the necessary measures.”

National Volunteer Week 2021 P12 & P13

“We recognize that these are challenging times and we thank our community for their continued compliance,” added Chief Aikman. “Throughout the pandemic, many residents of the City of Cornwall have continued to stay home, follow the public health directions, and assisted our police service by complying with changes to legislation.”

In a statement on their social media on Friday, CPS also asked residents to refrain from calling their dispatch office with questions about the new provincial restrictions and instead to refer to the provincial website.

Cornwall Mayor calls on Premier for more support to fight COVID NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall Mayor Bernadette Clement is calling on Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Minister of Health Christine Elliot to provide more resources to help combat the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I am respectfully requesting urgent consideration of our community requiring additional resources to support us in our specific battle against the virus and its variants at this particularly critical juncture of the pandemic,” reads Mayor Clement’s letter, which was co-signed by Jim McDonell, MPP for Stormont, Dundas, and South Glengarry.

The Mayor cites rising numbers of COVID-19 Variants of Concern (VoCs) as well the impact the pandemic is currently having on the Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH). The province ranks the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) region as being in the top 10 provincially for the rate of VoCs. In a Special Council Meeting on April 8, Jeanette Despatie, CEO of the CCH told

Council that the pandemic was currently straining the hospital’s capacity not only in terms of available beds, but also on their personnell.

It not only creates a challenge for beds, but for staffing. These are demands that we have never seen before, but have definitely prepared for,” said Despatie.

Despatie warned at that time that she believed that the worst was yet to come.

“We really do think it will get worse before it gets better. Hopefully people are just extra vigilant. We have asked for this over the course of the last year, but never has it been more important than now,” she said.

Clement outlined these concerns in her letter. She also stated that while two pharmacies in Cornwall had been approved to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine, they had not yet begun to do so.

“We have been advised that only two pharmacies have been identified in our City of approximately 47,500 people,” the Mayor’s letter reads. “We look forward to the time when those pharmacies begin booking

SD&G Warden demands better vaccine roll-out from province, feds

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

UNITED COUNTIES of SD&G, Ontario – United Counties of SD&G Warden Frank Prevost has demanded a better distribution plan for the COVID-19 vaccine for his municipality.

In a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, April 14, Warden Prevost criticized the province and the federal government in what he characterized was a slow distribution of the vaccine, and inconsistent pandemic regulations that have put a strain on residents and businesses.

“We look on with envy as other regions and countries, including our neighbours just across the St. Lawrence River in the United States, enjoy the benefits of mass vaccination,” Warden Prevost said.

“Because Canada has been slow to roll out mass vaccination, and because COVID-19 variants are entrenched in Ontario, we once again find ourselves in a shutdown.”

Prevost said that the Eastern Ontario Health Unit region warrants being called a provincial “hot spot” for the COVID-19

virus, and should receive additional vaccine doses.

“I am calling on the federal and provincial governments to do more to get an increased number of vaccines to our local health unit so they can continue the good work they are doing,” Prevost said. “There has been much made of COVID problems in southern Ontario, and there is increased focus on other ‘hot spots’ throughout the province. With all due respect to the terrible tragedy unfolding in the GTA, I want to ensure our voice is heard as well.”

Prevost also expressed the anger and frustration that small businesses were feeling due to pandemic restrictions.

“Our local economy is built upon these small businesses. I look at our local barbershops as an example,” he said.

“Why have they been forced to close an operation that can be limited to just two people, who wear masks and liberally sanitize themselves? Yet I can go into any grocery store and be surrounded with a multitude of individuals. What’s good for one business should be good for all, because

By helping others, volunteers help themselves MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS ANGELE D’ALESSIO CMHA CHAMPLAIN EAST

Pediatrician Liela Denmark practiced medicine in Atlanta for 73 years. She retired at the age of 103 and lived for another 11 years. In addition to treating young patients in her office, she volunteered at a medical clinic, where she helped some of the city’s poorest children, for more than 50 years. When she died in 2012, people celebrated her dedication to helping others. They believed it had contributed to her longevity -- and evidence

suggests they were right.

Research shows that by helping others, volunteers are helping themselves.

Stephanie Brown, an associate professor of psychiatry and psychology at Stony Brook University’s Renaissance School of Medicine, has done extensive research on the psychosocial benefits of volunteering, especially among older adults. Her research has shown that older volunteers have a 25 percent decrease in the risk of early death compared to people who don’t volunteer.

It’s not clear why volunteering helps people live longer, but Brown and others believe so-called helping behaviour leads to feelings of usefulness and competence as well as providing social integration and support. This improves volunteers’ ability to regulate stress which, in turn, helps them resist disease.

Not only do volunteers live longer than

others, they are also healthier. In a fiveyear study conducted by researchers from the University of Calgary and several other institutions, seniors who volunteered for at least one hour a week were 2.4 times less likely to develop dementia than those who didn’t.

“It turns out that getting everything but the paycheque is actually what makes you more healthy and makes you more happy about your life,” University of Calgary psychology professor Yannick Griep, who led the study, told the CBC. Furthermore, because volunteer work often involves physical activity, volunteers tend to have healthy blood pressure, a lower risk of heart disease and less chronic pain.

There are many options available to individuals interested in volunteering. Most organizations welcome the help of volunteers, and that includes Canadian Mental

Health Association Champlain East, which is dedicated to enhancing and promoting mental health through advocacy, education and various services.

“Volunteers play an important role in our organization,” said Angela Warren, Manager, Public Education with CMHA Champlain East. “Their contributions are invaluable.”

Should you be interested in volunteer opportunities with CMHA Champlain East, please contact Angela Warren at warrena@ cmha-east.on.ca.

GSDL receives $380K in provincial and federal funding NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall’s Glen-StorDun Lodge (GSDL) long-term care home is receiving a one time investment of $380,000 from the provincial and federal governments.

The funding is a part of a wider investment in 95 long-term care facilities across the province of Ontario to allow for upgrades to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems as well as fire sprinkler systems.

“This investment will benefit many of the most vulnerable people in our community, providing them with the comfortable and safe living spaces they deserve,” said MPP McDonell. “Our government puts the safety and well-being of long-term care residents at the heart of everything we do.”

The funding for GSDL will be used to replace Cornwall’s Glen Stor Dun Lodge long-term care facility (Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News).

Finding a place for art NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

LONG SAULT, Ontario – Teacher and mom Celine Labelle said she has seen first hand the toll the COVID-19 pandemic has take on kids. She saw that while Spring Break is going on, there is little for most kids to do due to the province-wide lockdown and stay-at-home order.

Labelle said that while parks and bike paths remain open, there were few outlets where kids can express themselves artistically right now.

She decided to invite kids in the community to paint a large white canvas she had pinned to her fence along Moulinette Rd. The painted canvas on Celine Labelle’s fence after a day of art. Submitted photo.

Aware of the pandemic restrictions and the need to keep everyone safe, she allowed families to register in advance for 10 different time slots to come an paint the canvas on her fence on Tuesday, April 13.

Labelle also sanitized all of the art materials as well as the general area around the fence between each 20 minute session.

“The response has been great,” she said.

“I think this is something I would continue to do in the future.”

Pictured from left-to-right are Tenley Hogeveen and Celine Labelle (Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News).

Judy Gratton brought her grandchild Tenley Hogeveen to come and paint the fence canvas on Tuesday morning.

“She was so happy she said ‘oh I really

want to do that,’” Gratton explained. “Thank you so much for doing this its great,” she told Labelle.

Labelle said that once the canvas is fully

painted that she would ask the community what they think should be done with this work of art.

St. Lawrence Secondary School Student earns $80K science scholarship NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – St. Lawrence Secondary School Grade 12 student Affaan Ali has been selected to receive the Schulich Leader Scholarship which the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) terms as the most prestigious in Canada.

“We are proud to celebrate 10 years of Schulich Leader Scholarships, the premiere STEM scholarship program in Canada and the world. This group of 100 outstanding students will represent the best and brightest Canada has to offer and will make great contributions to society, both on a national and global scale.

With their university expenses covered, they can focus their time on their studies, research projects, extracurriculars, and entrepreneurial ventures. They are the next generation of entrepreneurial-minded, technology innovators,”

said program founder Seymour Schulich.

The scholarship valued at $80,000 will go towards Ali’s expenses while he studies at the University of Ottawa.

“I have grown fond of Ottawa from my frequent visits there over my high school career,” said Ali. “I am ecstatic to start my future in the city.”

Ali has been an honour roll student since Grade 9 and has a current class average of 98.5 per cent.

“My parents are my motivators; they have sacrificed a lot for me, and I aspire to make them proud,” Ali said. “I also wish to be a role model for my little brother.”

Ali has participated in the Waterloo Math Contest each year of his high school career, scoring in the top 25 per cent twice and being at the top of his school each time.

Ali volunteered his time as a math tutor for his peers, and started a math tutoring

business in 2019 with help from the Cornwall Business Enterprise Centre (CBEC).

It was Ali’s math exploits that encouraged his teacher Jamie Carr to nominate him for the Schulich Leader Scholarship.

“We are so proud of Affaan here at St. Lawrence Secondary School,” says Principal Kelty Grant. “He’s such a well-rounded, sincere, kind student. He is not only strong academically, but is also very involved in school life, and is always willing to help his peers. We will miss Affaan next year, but we can’t wait to follow his successes.”

In addition to his academic accomplishments Ali has also served on student council and has played the clarinet in the school band, with his group winning gold in the Kinsmen Music Festival.

Currently, Ali is completing a co-operative education credit as a researcher at the Affaan Ali. Submitted photo.

Cornwall Gives A Shirt this week NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The City of Cornwall’s annual clothes drive initiative, Give a Shirt week, is returning this April, but in a first, will be back again in October meaning that for the first time, there will be two Give a Shirt weeks in one year.

The first week runs from April 19 to 23 and the second week will be from Oct. 18 to 22.

To participate in Give a Shirt week, residents are asked to leave out their gently used clothing or footware with their garbage, in a separate and marked bag.

Collected clothing will be distributed to local thrift stores.

The City of Cornwall offers the following tips on how to participate: -Gather up any used clothing, linens, and shoes you are no longer using.

-Put them in a garbage bag and close it well.

-Label the bag “give a shirt.”

-Put the bag out on your regular collection day (in the morning, please) a few feet away from your garbage and recycling.

During the current stay-at-home order due to the pandemic, the City of Cornwall will be storing the donated clothing at the landfill, as thrift stores currently are not accepting donations. The clothing will be stored, but not thrown away; simply kept for safe keeping for the time being.

Give a Shirt week has been held annually for the past three years. The last Give a Shirt week held in October of 2020 generated more than 27,000 pounds of clothes that were collected for local thrift stores.

“We were blown away by the total in 2020,” said Dave Kuhn, Waste Management Supervisor. “That’s 27,000 pounds that’s

not going to the landfill.”

“The total also shone a light on how “fast fashion” leads to a significant amount of textile waste,” reads a statement from the City of Cornwall.

The city offers the following tips to reduce textile waste:

1. Buy high-quality items that will last.

2. Consider shopping at thrift stores or vintage shops, like Echo Trends, DG Vintage, and our partners listed above.

3. Repair clothes when you can, share them with friends, and use them as rags when they reach the end of their lift.

Local organizations receive combined $144K from province NICK SEEBRUCH nseebruch@seawaynews.media

ONTARIO – Two organizations in the riding of Stormont, Dundas and South Glengarry will be receiving a combined $144,900 from the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s Resilient Communities Fund.

Seaway Senior Citizens Club will be receiving $90,200, while Habitat for Humanity Seaway Valley will be receiving $54,700.

“Non-profit organizations are a crucial and

valued part of any community, especially here in Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry,” said Jim McDonell, MPP for Stormont, Dundas, and South Glengarry in a statement to the media. “Countless people rely on their services every day, and even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, they still deliver.”

McDonell’s office did not specify what the funding would be used for, but the Resilient Communities Fund supports non-profit organizations in the following ways: -Mental and physical health and wellbeing

supports for staff or volunteers -Support to adapt or re-imagine program delivery and services to meet the needs of communities, employees and volunteers, incorporate new health and safety processes, or purchase new technology and personal protective equipment -Renovations and facility updates to meet the changing needs of the communities they serve.

“Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, our government has supported those

struggling the most,” said Minister Lisa MacLeod, Minister of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries. “That’s why we’re proud to support programs like the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s Resilient Communities Fund. This funding helps non-profits like Seaway Senior Citizens Club adapt to the challenges created by the pandemic – ensuring they can provide the best service possible to the people of Cornwall and make a positive difference in the lives of individuals and families.”

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Councillor Dean Hollingsworth has put forward a motion asking that a roundabout be considered for the Vincent Massey Dr. and Tollgate Rd. intersection.

The motion, which was seconded by Councillor Todd Bennett asks that the issue be brought up at budget time in early 2022 and that administration present a complete costing of the project at that time.

The motion suggests that the Vincent Massey and Tollgate intersection is “poorly designed” and “awkward.”

The intersection sees a direct intersection where drivers from Tollgate Rd. can turn either left or right onto Vincent Massey, as well as a one-way feeding lane that allows drivers to merge directly into westbound traffic on Vincent Massey.

The intersection has no stop lights, but does have stop signs for traffic coming from Tollgate Rd. The motion put forward by Hollingsworth and Bennett will be voted on at the next council meeting on April 26 and if passed a roundabout project for the intersection will be presented at budget time. It will be up to council when they organize the 2022 budget whether or not they want to go ahead with the project.

UNITED COUNTIES of SD&G, Ontario – The Township of South Stormont’s Director of Planning and Building Peter Young has been hired by the upper-tier municipality, the United Counties of SD&G, as their new Director of Planning Services.

Young has more than 10 years of municipal government experience, working in the County of Frontenac before coming to South Stormont.

He has a bachelor’s degree in environmental studies – planning, from the University of Waterloo, with a land development planning specialization. Young is also a Registered Professional Planner (RPP) and a Member of the Canadian Institute of Planners.

South Stormont adopts new strategic plan PROVIDED BY THE TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH STORMONT SOUTH STOMRONT, Ontario – South Stormont Council adopted a new Community Strategic Plan during the Regular Council Meeting on Wednesday, April 14, 2021. The Community Strategic Plan will help guide future staff recommendations and Council decisions.

With the expiration of the previous Strategic Plan in 2020, along with the significant growth

and development the Township is experiencing, Council and Staff prioritized establishing a new guiding document to ensure a progressive and responsible trajectory for the community.

“The Township of South Stormont is experiencing growth and development demand that we have not seen before,” states Mayor Bryan McGillis. “We need to be prepared to adapt and ensure the decisions made by this Council and future Councils support that growth.”

The Township hired MDB Insight to assist in the development of the Community Strategic Plan. Consultants focused on obtaining significant input from Council, Township staff, major stakeholders and, of course, the residents of South Stormont. Surveys, meetings, and personal interviews were conducted throughout the plan development to ensure an accurate community pulse and stakeholder ideas were considered.

The Community Strategic Plan includes new

Mission and Vision Statements as well as an implementation plan that will demonstrate how each recommendation and decision helps to move the plan forward. Staff reports and recommendations will be revised to incorporate a direct correlation between the recommendation and the goals and guidelines of the Community Strategic Plan.

Ford is out of step with local realities NICK SEEBRUCH

8 - Wednesday, April 21, 2021

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

The local reaction to the new restrictions implemented by Premier Doug Ford’s government over the past few weeks is telling. The reactions of local Mayors, the Cornwall Community Hospital, and just regular people tell the story that Ford is not giving local areas what they need to fight the pandemic.

What Ford is doing is fighting people, rather than fighting the COVID-19 virus, which is why I think you quickly saw changes to what the government announced on Friday.

On Friday the government put a ban on people using public parks and playgrounds, as well as stating that police and by-law officers could stop cars and pedestrians and question them as to why they are out of their homes.

These restrictions don’t do much to fix the problem where it actually is, in the workplace. Despite the stay-at-home order, there are still individuals who are essential and need to go into work. If they are sick however, they have to take their own sick days, if they have any, to go and get tested. Some employees do not have paid sick days however, and can’t afford to take the time off to go get tested or vaccinated.

If you look at local data in the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) region 47 per cent of COVID-19 cases are caught at home, with another 40 per cent spread through the community. The majority, 55 per cent, of cases spread in the community are through schools.

Dr. Paul Roumeliotis of the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) has explained that what we are seeing are cases that are caught either by someone bringing it home with them from work or school and spreading it to their family, or catching the virus at home and then spreading during the work/ school week. It is workplaces, not basketball courts and golf courses where individuals are catching the COVID-19 virus.

Restrictions announced by Doug Ford on Friday changed significantly by Monday, and that was thanks to local leaders rejecting things like closing playgrounds, and police forces not wanting to stop people randomly on the streets.

Our local Cornwall Police Service stated that they for one would not be randomly stopping people on the streets to ask why they were out of their homes.

Dr. Roumeliotis also said he would be speaking with regional by-law officers after someone in Rockland was ticketed over the weekend for sitting in their driveway.

Even prior to Friday’s announcements from the province, you could already see that locally, there was a divide between where the provincial government was going with their enforcement, and what the municipalities stated that they needed.

Both the United Counties of SD&G Warden and Mayor of Cornwall released separate messages asking for more support locally for vaccinations.

Cornwall Mayor Bernadette Clement pointed out that Cornwall only had two

pharmacies who were permitted to distribute the AstraZeneca vaccine and that at the time of writing her letter, neither had received any doses yet.

In total, the United Counties of SD&G and the City of Cornwall only have three pharmacies that are distributing the AstraZeneca vaccine to those aged 40 and older, while the neighbouring LeedsGrenville has 22 locations, with four in the City of Brockville. Leeds-Grenville has about 60,000 fewer residents than the combine population of Cornwall and the United Counties of SD&G, so it is no wonder that the local focus is directed more on vaccines than residents who are out for a walk.

I understand the province’s focus on stopping the spread of the virus. The dirty secret of our hospital system was that it was chronically strained prior to the pandemic and now this virus has put

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

it in a precarious situation. The Cornwall Community Hospital is the only hospital in the region with an Intensive Care Unit.

Hospital CEO Jeanette Despatie told Cornwall Council that prior to the pandemic, her ICU had 11 beds, which have since been expanded to 15. As of Monday, April 19 there were nine patients in the EOHU region hospitalized with COVID-19 in the ICU. It is clear that avoiding infection is important, but like I said before, the Ford government doesn’t seem to be focused on supporting essential workers, who are the most vulnerable to coming in contact with the COVID-19 virus.

What do you think readers of Ford’s announcement on Friday, and the reaction of local officials?

Celebrating Volunteers Dear Editor, National Volunteer Week is taking place from April 18 to 24. At the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS), we know that volunteering builds a community’s resiliency by showing residents how much that community cares about different causes. We would like to thank all of the dedicated volunteers in Maxville and its surrounding areas for your inspiring support of the causes that mean the most to you.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an

undeniable impact on our resources and is in part the reason why we had to close certain offices. We recognize that these offices were a place to connect for dedicated staff, volunteers and community members and we are grateful for the tremendous work that took place out of this space.

Volunteers strengthen communities, lift others up, and take care of vulnerable people.

We are especially grateful for the

volunteers who have helped build a solid foundation for the CCS’s work throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. You have allowed us to continue funding research, supporting people with cancer, and advocating on behalf of all Canadians.

Whether you gave your time prior to the pandemic, or you’ve helped with our virtual events, programs or activities in the last year, we thank you. You have stood by us as we work to create change for the nearly 1 in 2 Canadians who will be affected by

To say John McMartin was Cornwall’s wealthiest citizen would not be overstating his financial position in the community in the early 1900s.

Not only was McMartin, a native of Apple Hill, Cornwall’s richest citizen, but he ranked as one of the country’s wealthiest entrepreneurs. A member of the exclusive one per cent club.

McMartin built up a sizeable nest egg in the late 1800s in the railway building business. Together with his brother, Duncan, he purchased the Larose Gold Mine near Thunder Bay. The duo later joined forces with the Timmins brothers and D. A. Dunlap to purchase and operate the Hollinger gold mine near Timmins, described at the time as Canada’s richest gold mine and one of the richest in the world.

(Note: Timmins, Ont. was named after the Timmins brothers).

In 1903, John left Northern Ontario and moved to Cornwall while retaining his interest in the Hollinger mine. He was vice-president of the mining company. In his excellent history of the United Counties, John Graham Harkness described the McMartin brothers as multi-millionaires.

In case you are wondering, adjusted for inflation, $3 million would be $94.6M today.

In 1903, the average Canadian family had an annual income of about $700. So, you weren’t going to find the two guys from Apple Hill in the Salvation Army soup kitchen line.

McMartin purchased a palatial home at Second and Sydney streets and called it “Highland Manor”. After his death in 1918, his widow donated the house to a Roman Catholic religious order for use as a orphanage. It was destroyed by fire in 1950. Today, Cornwall Public Library occupies the property.

The odd thing about the McMartin brothers was that John was Roman Catholic and Liberal, while Duncan was Presbyterian and Conservative.

THIS MONTH IN 1948 – Described as the largest and most modern cheese factory in Eastern Ontario, the Glencoe plant at Bonville held its grand opening. It was owned

by Bonville area resident Elies Truax. ...

Stormont, Dundas and Glengarr y Highlanders wrapped up a one-week recruitment campaign with 105 new members signed up. ... Six families from Holland arrived in the area and began work on area farms. The families ranged in size from six to nine. ... Toronto alderman Nathan Phillips, a Cornwall native, was honoured by the Women’s Progressive Conser vative Association for his 25 years on Toronto city hall. Phillips would become mayor of Toronto and the new city hall and square would be christened Nathan Phillips Square. He grew up on Fourth Street and graduated from Cornwall Collegiate and Vocational School.

... This was becoming old hat for a Cornwall man who was sentenced to 30 days in jail on a Liqour Control Act conviction. It was his 83rd LCA conviction. Magistrate P. C. Bergeron noted that his rap sheets covered five pages. He took the 30 days because he couldn’t pay the $30 fine. ... John B. McKay was named publisher and editor of the Standard-Freeholder. The paper was owned by the Fleming family of Owen Sound. Philip S. Robertson was promoted to general manager.

HERE AND THERE Is there a bigger stooge – and it’s a crowded field – on the U.S. political landscape than former VP Mike Pence? The more The Donald craps on him, the more he cuddles up to him. ... Near the top of my ‘Hypocrisy-at-its-best’ list: A group of climate change crusaders sitting around a backyard bonfire thinking up ways to reduce the community’s carbon footprint. ...

Under the new made-in-Ontario stay-home order, one can venture out of the house to attend to a such essential tasks as medical appointments, picking up a prescription at the pharmacy, buying groceries, going to work and picking up a 12-pack at the liquor/ beer store. ... Just across the river, in New York State, for the last week COVID-19 shots have been available to anyone 16 and older.

In some cases, an appointment is not needed. ... A CNN poll had 84% of folks living in Black neighbourhoods wanting more, not fewer, police officers. The people calling for police to be defunded live in the safe neighbourhoods. ... Cities in the United States prepare for “peaceful” protests by boarding up windows and putting the National Guard on high alert. ... Good for the Ontario police chiefs – Cornwall’s Danny Aikman included – who refused to go along with the mindless anti-pandemic stop-and-ask power given to Ontario police officers by the provincial government.

QUOTED “Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.” - Redd Foxx TRIVIA On April 1, 1959 this was introduced by the Ontario department of transport: 1) Licence plate stickers, 2) Permanent plates, 3) The driver demerit points system, 4) Breath tests, 5) Licence renewal from a fixed date to birth dates.

TRIVIA ANSWER – After Kmart closed its store on Vincent Massey Drive, the StarTek call centre moved in. It is now occupied by Home Hardware.

ONE FINAL THING - The Toronto Real Estate Board will no longer use “Master Bedroom” in home listings. The board believes the word “master” is sexist, racist and conjures up images of slavery. Perhaps I’m not living in the real world, but I never considered master, as in master bedroom, to be racist, sexist or connected to slavery.

No more than I think of master electrician, or master anything else, being sexist, racist or connected to slavery. Of course, growing up in a very middle-class family, I never lived in a home that had a master bedroom. We called the parents’ bedroom.

Queen’s Park Update – April 16, 2021

3 MINUTES WITH THE MPP

JIM MCDONELL MPP STORMONT-DUNDAS-SOUTH GLENGARRY

Over the week, the province’s active cases continue to spike, stretching our hospitals and their intensive care facilities to capacity.

Patients are being transported between hospitals, regions, and provinces to access emergency services.

While thousands of additional hospital beds have been added, the staff required to operate them has become very difficult to find.

The new variants are proving to be much more contagious than the original virus and are now responsible for over 70 percent of the cases across the entire province, including our region.

New tighter restrictions were put in place to bring the caseload under control, but we know that it takes three to four weeks to bring this caseload down to acceptable levels.

We need everyone’s patience and cooperation.

The variants may be new, but the medical experts agree that the key to stopping the virus remains the same.

We must eliminate coming in contact with it, either through avoiding personal contact or through vaccination.

Until the country’s vaccination level achieves herd immunity levels of close to 80 percent, personal distancing measures and masks will be required to control this virus.

The worldwide demand for vaccines has resulted in the shortage that we are experiencing in the country today.

The anticipated April surge in supplies is not happening, with delays in scheduled deliveries causing vaccination centres to be run at less than compacity, and in some regions, shut down entirely as their supplies run out.

I want to commend Dr. Paul Roumeliotis and his team for the smooth operation of the local clinics.

He has been scheduling clinics to deal with the last-minute delays the province has experienced.

To schedule your vaccine, please go to www.ontario.ca/bookvaccine or call the helpline at 1-888-999-6488.

More than 3.7 million doses have been administered province-wide.

I wanted to clarify some issues that I have heard, including the designation of “hot-spots.” In some of our larger provincial centres, they have experienced high vaccine hesitancy rates, resulting in unfilled appointments.

Several accommodations have been made to deal with this issue, including lowering the age eligibility to increase the demand for the available timeslots.

Another strategy involves re-allocating a portion of a region’s vaccine supply to target “hot-spots,” or neighbourhoods with high transmission rates, to lower the overall community numbers, comparing it to extinguishing a fire.

Locally, I have been asked about supporting the designation of a particular region or municipality in our health unit region as a hot spot to allow it to receive a higher percentage of our unit’s allocation.

The simple answer is that we need more supply, and to quote our Solicitor General Sylvia Jones, “when the supply increases, all these problems go away.”

To be clear, at this time, there are no additional vaccines for area hot spots; they are served by reallocating the

existing supply from one area to another – robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Since the beginning of this pandemic, most municipalities in our health unit area have taken their turn in holding the high-case banner.

We need to concentrate on the big picture of vaccinating our most vulnerable residents, those with underlying health issues, and essential workers and ensuring all regions have equitable local access.

Vaccine deliveries have fallen back to Federal Government’s original forecast, but we know they are working hard and doing all they can to secure these scarce vaccines.

We need and appreciate everyone’s patience and co-operation.

As noted, the stay-at-home order remains in effect until at least May 6.

Please continue to follow the details of the order at www.Ontario.ca/COVID-19.

More important than ever, I want to remind people to maintain personal spacing, wear a mask, and stay home except to pick up essential items.

The National Volunteer Week theme for 2021, The Value of One, The Power of Many, reflects on the awe-inspiring acts of kindness by millions of individuals AND the magic that happens when we work together towards a common purpose. This past year, we have seen people supporting family, friends, neighbours, and strangers, people standing up to systemic racism, and people sharing insights on how to create a more just and equitable society. We recognize the value of the caring and compassion that each one has shown another, and we recognize the power of people, organizations, and sectors working together.

UCDSB trustees concerned over potential changes to remote learning

BY PHILLIP BLANCHER, LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER BROCKVILLE, Ontario – A proposed plan by the province’s Ministry of Education to retain and expand the remote learning options put in place to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic has raised the ire of provincial school board officials, and local English-Public school board trustees alike.

“We have a great deal of issues on our plate with the pandemic but I feel we need to keep our eyes on the long game,” said Upper Canada District School Board Chair John McAllister at the April 7th trustee meeting. “This move could have a serious effect on local schools and their viability.”

Last month the Globe and Mail reported that the Ministry of Education was going to allow, if approved, parents to continue to enroll their

child in full-time synchronous or two-way learning after the COVID-19 pandemic is over.

School boards would be able to continue offering virtual schools, but not receive further funding to cover administration costs. Secondary school students would be able to sign up for online courses offered by a centre run by the province’s television broadcaster TVO, and its French-language service TFO. Unions and school board associations, including the Ontario Public School Board Association, oppose the ministry’s plans, in part over fears of potential privatization of online delivery.

The current online model used by the UCDSB was developed to support remote students during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

McAllister outlined the potential impact on small rural schools like Seaway District High School in Iroquois and Glengarry District High

School in Alexandria.

“E-Learning could become a reality to the point where students will not have to take courses in-person, in-school,” McAllister explained. “And what this really means is that some of our small schools may close. I want our municipal leaders to know that because this is important.”

He added “if we do not have people in bricks and mortar schools, where I believe the best learning occurs, then we are in trouble.”

Trustee David McDonald (Ward 8) who is the UCDSB representative to the Ontario Public School Board Association, said that some of what was reported in the media is not accurate, or was not information that was to be disclosed to the public.

“The issues that were presented by the initiatives committee from the Ministry [of

Education] was done so in confidence,” McDonald explained. Trustee Lisa Swan (Ward 6) said she had serious concerns about the remote learning initiative.

“This is going to close more schools,” she told trustees. “I have serious concerns about this initiative for our students, for our staff, and for our parents.”

Trustee John McCrae (Ward 5) offered an opposing view, saying that school unions and OPSBA were “burying their heads in the sand” on the issue.

“The genie is out of the bottle. This online learning is out there and it’s going to be provided.”

CORNWALL, Ontario - Since 1933, the Cornwall Kinsmen Club has raised funds through a range of activities and invested these funds in order to meet the Community’s Greatest Needs. These needs change from year to year and thus we adjust the flow of funds accordingly. To assist us in our strategic process we have identified 7 broad categories: Relief of Poverty; Advancement of Education; Culture and the Arts; Health and Welfare; Enhancement of Youth; Enhancement of Public Security and; Community Service.

Over the last year, a strategic planning process was undertaken internally to determine the levels of funding that would be allocated to each of these broad categories. Today’s donation falls under the “Enhancement Of Youth” thrust of our strategy. All community applications received were reviewed by members of

the Cornwall Kinsmen Club and a budget for the year was established. Groups may still submit requests during the year for consideration – application form is available on our web site Today we are pleased to announce the 2020/2021 donation to the Cornwall Girls Minor Softball Association The Kinsmen Club of Cornwall once again made a significant donation to girls minor softball with a $3000 donation. They are a recreational softball league affiliated with the city of Cornwall with approximately 250 to 300 young ladies each spring recreation season. 100% operated by volunteers, their goal is to develop a fun and safe place for girls to learn and play the game of softball. We field teams for girls from age five to 21 years old.

The Kinsmen Club wishes to thank all our community supporters that make these

Norm, Cheryl & Staff

The unprecedented circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in an increase in fraudulent activities across Ontario.

It has come to Cameron Real Estate Brokerage’s attention that a fraudulent rental scheme appears to be occurring in the Cornwall Area again. The scheme works as follows: Scam artists use information and photos from properties listed in this area and then advertises on an online classified advertising service, saying they are renting the home at unusually low rents without requiring a credit check and no viewings, etc.

As a result of these advertisements, the scam artist then attempts to rent the property out to one or several other unsuspecting individuals and then fraudulently collects the first and last month’s rent or deposit.

If you come across this kind of possible scam, please be careful. You can contact the Cornwall Police Services at 613-932-2110 to report suspicious activity.

Please be on alert for schemes of this nature in order to protect yourself and your family.

POIRIER, Marie-Rose (née St-Germain) - It is with profound sorrow that we announce the death of our dear mother Marie-Rose Poirier who passed away on April 7, 2021 at her home surrounded by her heartbroken children. Age 90 years. She leaves to mourn her cherished husband of 70 years, Leo Joseph Poirier. Loving mother of Claire (Mike), Denise, Gerald, Maurice (Peggy), Elaine (Bill), Daniel (Joanne), Jeanne (Dan), Pauline, Robert, Rachelle (Marlin), and Alain (PattyLynn). Her grandchildren Jeff, Steve, Jennifer, Jason, Jonathan, Trevor, Tyler, Valerie, Eric, Jacob, Chad, Candace, Caitlan and Justin. Also eleven great grandchildren and her precious fur companion Jessy. Marie Rose was such a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother always putting her family’s needs before her own. She will be forever missed by her loving sisters Florence Carriere (late Lionel), Marie-Ange Sigouin (late Bernard) and many nephews and nieces. As well as Tony and Laurette Quenneville. Predeceased by her parents Adolphus St-Germain, Délima (Délorme), sister Evelyne Quevillion (late Francois) and her brother Réne StGermain (Louise). Marie-Rose was such a kind and gentle soul with a heart of gold and unselfishness. She was a great cook and always cooked enough to feed her family and more just in case someone else would drop in unannounced. Growing up, we will always remember her Sunday morning ritual of baking pies. She would always manage to make a raisin pie as that was dad’s favorite, as for us children it didn’t matter we loved them all.

She was also renowned for her famous and delicious tourtières, had she entered them in a baking contest we are sure she would have won first prize. She was an exceptional gardener and made tons of preserves and canning over the years that carried us through the long winter months. Her love of plants and flowers shined through in her home and yard, year after year. Today she walks through the heavenly rose gardens and is watching over each and every one of her dearly beloved. As per Marie-Rose’s wishes, donations to the Alzheimer Society of Cornwall or the Cancer Society would be appreciated. MarieRose was cremated as per her wish and a celebration of life will take place when the Covid restrictions lessen. Her remains will be interned in the homes of her children until then.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Lahaie & Sullivan Cornwall funeral Homes, West Branch (613-932-8482). Messages of condolences may be left at www.lahaiesullivan.ca

Council to take closer look at city’s Operating Budget NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall City Council has chosen to take a closer look at the City’s Operational Budget this year.

In a typical budget year, each department head in city administration will present their Capital Projects budget line-by-line, but the Operational Budget is simply presented in paper form as a report.

The Capital Budget contains items such as building and roadwork projects and the purchase of new equipment, while the Operational Budget contains more regular annual expenses such as salaries and benefits.

Council members rejected a motion to review the City’s Operational Budget alongside the Capital Budget when that motion was made during the budget process in February, with some councillors citing a lack of time, and that information was readily available upon request from administration.

A motion approved by Council last night, Monday, April 12, would see the Operational

Budget presented in detail to review on Monday, May 17 and Tuesday, May 18 for a total combined eight-and-a-half hours.

The motion was put forward by Councillor Dean Hollingsworth who said that these meetings would allow Council to review priorities and change objectives in advance of the creation of next year’s budget.

“I know many would have seconded this motion as I did because I think Council is on the same page . . . to Councillor Bergeron’s point, this council wants to have conversations,” said Mayor Bernadette Clement who seconded Councillor Hollingsworth’s motion.

“This was not about withholding information or having administration withhold information from council. The point is that you want to do budget at different times of the year. It doesn’t all have to be done in a three or four day window in February. It is most efficient when it is done over a longer period of time.”

Council passed the motion unanimously.

“This is something I’m really looking forward to. As many of us have said, this is the biggest thing that we do,” said Councillor

Cornwall City Council.

Todd Bennett. “Its the levels of service I

ensure we’re meeting the needs of our

think that we need to at least review to

community.”

AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine available to those 40+ NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

ONTARIO – The province of Ontario has lowered the eligibility age for those who wish to get the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine from 55 to 40 and above.

The AstraZeneca vaccine is only available through pharmacies and other primary medical care settings.

“As we continue to fight COVID-19, we are doing everything possible to get as many

vaccines into arms as quickly and safely as possible. We continue to be actively engaged with Health Canada on updated AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine safety. Last week, based on the review of available data from Europe and United Kingdom, Health Canada announced that it was not restricting the use of AstraZeneca vaccine in any specific populations at this time,” reads a statement from Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. David Williams.

There has been some international

concern that the AstraZeneca vaccine may be linked to the formation of blood clots in women, but the chances of this are relatively low. According to research done by the Toronto Star instances of blood clots in Canada related to the COVID-19 vaccine are about one in every 250,000 doses.

“The health and safety of Ontarians is always our top priority, and for that reason, only COVID-19 vaccines that Health Canada determines to be safe and effective are approved for use in Ontario. All COVID-19

vaccines available in Ontario have been shown to prevent serious illness, hospitalization and death. Adverse reactions are extremely rare. We strongly recommend that everyone book their appointment as soon as they are eligible,” Dr. Willams’ statement goes on to read. “Ontario has administered over 3.86 million doses of the vaccine to Ontarians to date, and all of our partners and health care workers are continuing to work hard to administer doses as quickly as possible to Ontarians.”

Reader says: Why can’t vaccinations be held outside? The Benson Centre has lots of room to setup tables and chairs. This way, everyone has an added chance of protection especially all of those essential workers who come into contact with hundreds of people, but seem to be in the end of the vaccination queue. Most seniors are isolated to their homes except for when they go get groceries or go to the pharmacy.

Essential workers need the government and the help of all others to add to their protection.

“Give us a place to…”: 1967 & 2021…

Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

There is yet another development in tourism taking place. More and more travellers are passing up motels, hotels, B&Bs, and even taking oceanic cruises. Many are taking to the road in homes on wheels.

Some are as basic as a station wagon with the back seats folded flat, a minivan with its rear seat replaced by a sponge pad, a minivan camper conversion, a pickup truck with a slide-in, all the way up to a motor home with everything (including the kitchen sink).

Here’s the rub. Only the last three mentioned have some sort of whatever you want to call it: a ‘john’, a ‘pot to pee in’, a toilet, a loo, servicios or a head. If you travel abroad, you have to be familiar with these essential going-on-the-road terms.

Until now, McDonald’s, Tim Horton’s and Burger King have been providing us with accessible drop spots for many years.

However, as the number of road gypsies increases, more places to go are urgently needed.

Does your hometown have an easy to find, accessible public washroom? Long Lake and Wanakena NY do; Carberry Manitoba does, so does Lisbon, Portugal.

Unfortunately, far too few places do.

What an opportunity for filling a need! If municipalities are unable or unwilling to provide these welcome oases for locals and travellers, the need could be met by entrepreneurs seeking to make a profit. Pay as you ‘go’ facilities could be franchised.

Aside from the basics, they could also provide washing-up facilities, showers, laundries and even a dumping station for motor home porta-potties.

Yes, for a fee, enough to make them worthwhile for the investor, yet affordable enough for local pedestrians and travellers in need.

Possible franchise names: GO ON THE GO; ROAD GO; DROP IT!; DOO-DOO; GO EN ROUTE; PLACE A GO-GO… Have you ever tried to find a parking spot for a 40-foot motor home in a mediaeval village?

In the Algarve region of Portugal, on the periphery of towns such as Silves, Sagres and Albufeira, I noticed large numbers of motor homes parked side-by-side, row-upon-row. I learned how the tourist attraction

ALL TOO RARE! – Too few communities provide public washrooms for locals and travellers. The Adirondack hamlet of Wanakena, NY is a commendable exception. Does your hometown offer something like this? It should be part of the infrastructure. (Photo by Nick Wolochatiuk)

areas were accommodating them by providing secure parking places, electrical and sanitary hookups, and shuttle to local places of interest by bus and taxi. Local businesses profit. The beauty of the picturesque villages remains intact. The tourists are delighted. It’s a win, win, win situation.

status of Minor Basilica. According to Father Blake there are four major basilica’s all located in Rome and approximately 1800 minor basilica’s throughout the world.

The website of the Archdiocese of OttawaCornwall mentioned Saint Finnan in Alexandria is now one of three minor basilicas in the Archdiocese. A church designated as a basilica is accorded honours including “a certain precedence before other churches, the right of the conopaeum, the tintinnabulum (a small bell) and the right to display the papal symbol (the crossed keys of St. Peter) and once bestowed can not be removed.

When asked about the response of the parishioners to this honour, Father Blake commented how the people are happy about receiving this honour and recognition of the history and beauty of this historical church.

He mentioned how the designation is a “sign of honour and respect”, before continuing plans for ceremonies associated with the designation are being considered for the future when they are able to be held safely.

Few changes at WDMH as COVID-19 hospitalizations increase

BY PHILLIP BLANCHER, LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER WINCHESTER, Ontario – Many of the functions of the Winchester District Memorial Hospital remain unchanged as the region sees increased hospitalizations due to the most recent wave of COVID-19 infections.

“Our patients are our top priority, and we are here for you,” said WDMH CEO Cholly Boland.”If any services are affected, we will ensure our patients and local communities are informed immediately.”

The hospital sent out a release to the public following inquiries by The Leader on how the hospital is adapting to the recent surge of

COVID-19 hospitalizations.

WDMH has a level two critical care unit. The Cornwall Community Hospital is the only level three intensive care unit in the Eastern Ontario Health Unit region.

As of the EOHU’s April 12th update, there are 33 COVID-19 related hospitalizations and seven people in ICUs. Most of those ICU cases are in the CCH, with remaining ICU cases in Ottawa.

Last week, CCH CEO Jeanette Despatie said that non-critical care patients at that hospital were being moved to other facilities to make room for more COVID cases.

Boland said that the WDMH is working

closely with local hospitals and is responding to the latest directions from the Ministry of Health.

For now, there are no changes to outpatient clinics and diagnostic testing. The emergency department is still open 24/7 according to the WDMH. The hospital is preparing to open additional beds to take non-COVID-19 patients from other hospitals, if needed.

“We are working to ensure the transition is as seamless as possible for these patients,” Boland said.

The active case count of COVID-19 infections in the EOHU region topped 450 on April

12th.

ICU capacity in the EOHU region is at 80 per cent, and the COVID-19 ICU at CCH is at 25 per cent. Hospitalizations have dramatically increased as COVID-19 variants of concern have spread throughout Ontario.

Many hospital ICUs in the Greater Toronto Area are over-capacity, and are moving COVID19 and non-COVID-19 patients to hospitals outside of that region to free up space.

ALEXANDRIA, Ontario – St. Finnan Church in Alexandria Ontario has been raised to the status of a Minor Basilica by Pope Francis, with the announcement being made at St. Finnan Church on Divine Mercy Sunday April 11, 2021 and during the weekend masses at St. Catherine of Sienna in Greenfield, Saint James of Maxville, Saint Anthony’s in Apple Hill and Saint Michael’s Chapel in Monkland

by Father Jonathan Blake.

The history of the newest basilica in the Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall dates to 1832 with the establishment of a Mission Church in Priest’s Mills (later known as Alexandria) by the Bishop of Upper Canada, the Right Reverend Alexander Macdonell.

Support to the Mission Church was provided by nearby Saint Raphael’s and by 1840 Saint Finnan became a Parish Church. In March 1885, the newly constructed church building was dedicated to the worship of God and with the establishment of the Diocese of

Alexandria-Cornwall in 1890 was chosen to be the ecclesiastical seat of the Diocese and designated a Cathedral.

In 2020, it was decided the Diocese of Alexandria-Cornwall would be amalgamated with the Archdiocese of Ottawa and Saint Finnan in Alexandria returned to the status of a parish church as the seat of the Archbishop was in Ottawa. Father Blake explained at this time a team of parishioners met and decided to petition Rome to have Saint Finnan’s designated as a basilica. The parishioners created a very detailed document which provided information on several aspects of the church including its history, architectural features, statues and pastoral activities which was sent to Archbishop Prendergast of the Archdiocese of Ottawa for consideration before being forwarded to the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops and thence to Rome for review and consideration by Pope Francis.

On February 19, 2021 Cardinal Sarah signed a decree on behalf of Pope Francis which raises the status of Saint Finnan to the

CPS Seeking Public Participation in Strategic Planning Survey PROVIDED BY CPS

CORNWALL, Ontario - The Cornwall Police Services Board and the Cornwall Police Service (CPS) would like to invite all members of our community to take part in a survey to assist in the development of the 2021-2023 Strategic Plan. Originally announced on March 18, 2021, the CPS is now taking a new approach as a final push to reach as many residents as possible.

On Wednesday, April 21, 2021 at approximately 4:00 pm, a quantity of cell phone users in the Cornwall area will receive a text message inviting them to take the survey. The text message will appear as it does in the image below, and will contain a direct link to the CPS website where the links to the survey can be found. The text message will be sent from the number

1-844-539-1378. “We are using this approach as an additional means to reach a greater cross-section of our community,” said Deputy Chief of Police Shawna Spowart. “We are now in the final week of the survey and we want to ensure as many residents as possible have an opportunity to contribute their opinion about crime and community safety in the City of Cornwall.” Already at over 1200 respondents, the CPS is using a text message as a final method of reaching the public. “During the early release of the survey, the CPS had used our auxiliary members to deliver hard copies of the survey to seniors’ residences, apartment complexes and businesses throughout the city,” adds Deputy Chief Spowart. “With the current lockdown, we have identified the need to

become creative with how we get the survey to our residents.” The survey will take approximately ten minutes to complete and will contain a series of questions surrounding residents’ and visitor’s perception of crime and safety in the City of Cornwall. All of the data collected as part of this survey will be compiled for statistical purposes only, to assist in the development of the 2021-2023 Strategic Plan. All individual answers will remain anonymous. With many scams and fraudulent text message schemes circulating, the CPS would like to advise the public that this text message will be a legitimate message from the Cornwall Police Service.

Please do not open links from untrusted numbers or sources that you are unfamiliar with.

The CPS will only be sending one text message
