Cornwall Community Hospital frontline staff receive second vaccine dose ahead of schedule NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) is happy to report that their staff members have begun receiving their second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine ahead of schedule. Due to an increase in supply, the provincial government moved up the timeline to vaccinate healthcare workers who are working in certain patient settings. “This is an emotional moment for many of our frontline workers and physicians who have selflessly dedicated themselves
to caring for patients infected with COVID19, and serves as a sign of hope for the future,” said Jeanette Despatie, President and CEO of CCH. The CCH’s Chief of Medicine Dr. Renee Givari received her second dose of the COVID-19 on Friday, May 14 after receiving her first dose in February. “Being fully vaccinated not only provides the peace of mind of knowing I am best protected against getting seriously ill or hospitalized from COVID-19, but preliminary real world data also shows that in the event I do get infected with COVID-19,

I would have a significantly lower viral load and be less likely to transmit the virus to others,” said Dr. Givari. “Even if you’re young and healthy,
getting vaccinated against COVID-19 means you are potentially much less likely to infect others in the community through asymptomatic transmission,” she added.

Remembering Doug Seller, Shriner and friend NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
CORNWALL, Ontario – On April 26, 2021, John ‘Douglas’ Seller passed away at the Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH). He was 87. Doug Seller spent many years serving his community through the charity work he did with the local chapter of the Shriners. “Ill Sir Doug Seller was a wonderful Mason and Shriner just a wonderful person to be around always thinking of the Children who needed help at our hospital, he made many trips with children from our area to Montreal with the children. I joined Shriners in 1995 and Doug always tried to place new Shriners where they would be the most helpful to the organization and tried to keep the new Shriners active withing the local club the S.D.&G. Cornwall,” said Shriner Andre Cayer. Seller became Potentate of the Karnak region in 2000, which covers all Shriners chapters across Eastern Ontario and Quebec. Both Cayer and Rory MacLennan both followed in Seller’s footsteps to become Potentates of Karnak themselves, with MacLennan remembering Seller as a lifelong mentor and friend. “I like to say I’ve known Dace all my life, but it should be the other way around, he knew me all my life,” he said. MacLennan remembered Seller as a kind and generous human being who chaired Bingo for the local chapter of the Shiners.
“Doug was the driving force behind our fundraising efforts for Shriners Hospital for Children Canada,” said Len Finnamore, current Potentate of the Karnak Shriners. “As chairman of the Bingo committee his job was to ensure we had enough Shriners volunteer their time at the Cornwall Bingo palace to run the event. Thanks to his efforts over the years the SD&G Cornwall Shrine Club has raised approximately $500,000.00 to support local Children who needed care at the Shriners Hospital in Montreal. He was a Mentor to all Shriners in the local area and he will be sadly missed.” Throughout his life, Seller was always there to help others. “I had some concerns when I was elected as president of the local club with possible changes that were not seen favourable with members and Ill Sir Doug help me with the issues and his guidance help the club move forward in my mind. In 2019 I had the pleasure to be a Potentate for Karnak and I reached out to Ill Sir for advice on issues and he was always there, he will be missed greatly. He enjoyed helping children he was a true Shriner,” remembered Cayer. A private graveside service will be held for Seller at Gravel Hill Cemetery at a later date. As expressions of sympathy, memorial donations to the Shriner’s Children’s Hospital would be appreciated by the family. Online condolences may be made at www.brownleefuneralhomes.com.

Stay-at-home order extended to June 2 NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
ONTARIO – Premier Doug Ford announced on Thursday, May 13 that the province would extend the COVID-19 pandemic stay-at-home order and other health measures until June 2. The stay-at-home order, which was originally issued on April 7 was scheduled to expire on May 20. Ford explained that while the measures were working, that they needed to remain in place for an additional two weeks in order to have a more “normal” summer. “We have made some extremely hard choices to protect our hospitals,” he said. “We have put in place some of the toughest health measures in the country, today I can say, they’re working.” Ford went on to explain that the province was “not out of the woods yet.” “We must stay vigilant. We must keep doing what we’re doing because it is working,” he said. “My goal is to have the most normal July and August as possible. That means there won’t be large sporting events or concerts.”
Your turn is coming soon.
Dr. David Williams said that some of the pressure was being taken off of Ontario’s hospitals, but that the current rate of infection was still similar to the peak that was seen during the pandemic’s second wave. Ford explained that the province was currently able to distribute 30,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine daily, and that that vaccination rate should allow the province to lift restrictions on June 2 and at that time, he would present his plan to re-open the province. The Premier blamed the federal government for creating the need for the current lockdown. “One thing threatens the summer everyone hopes to have and that is the weak and porous border measures that the federal government has kept in place,” Ford said. Today’s announcement extends the stay-athome order, the closure of in-person shopping at all non-essential businesses, at-home learning, no dining at restaurants, and the closure of the provincial borders with Quebec and Manitoba.
Ontario’s COVID-19 vaccine plan is helping to stop the spread and save lives. Thousands of people across the province are getting vaccinated every day. As vaccinations continue, we need to stay the course to protect those we love. Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Keep your distance.

No wrong feelings The late British philosopher Alan Watts says was convinced there are no wrong feelings. “If we view the ebb and flow of various emotions as natural and acceptable as changes in weather,” he once wrote, “we could be more at peace with ourselves.” Almost 50 years after his death, his words still resonate. Mental health experts agree that understanding your emotions is essential to your mental health. Yet this is a challenge for many people. Emotions are an essential part being human. We’re wired to experience a wide range of them, from anger and fear to sadness and excitement. These core emotions help us connect with ourselves and the world around us. They tell us when to flee from danger, for example, or to give someone a hug. The ability to experience emotions has played a pivotal role in our evolution and survival as a species. Yet many of us are not savvy when it comes to understanding our own feelings. This problem is often rooted in our childhoods. It’s possible that our emotions weren’t validated or that we were taught that some emotions, such as anger and sadness, are unacceptable while others, such as happiness, are. Also, some of us grew up in homes in which feelings weren’t discussed. The inability to acknowledge your emotions can lead to problems. According to some studies, suppressing emotions can make you agitated and aggressive. For example, if you suppress negative feelings toward a colleague during the day, you might snap at your kids that evening. Outbursts like these could make you feel less in control and lead to self-destructive behaviour such as substance abuse. Experts provide counselling to those who need help regulating and experiencing emotions in a constructive way, but you can start
MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS ANGELE D’ALESSIO CMHA CHAMPLAIN EAST
the journey on your own. Try pausing for a few moments during the day to take stock of your mental and physical state — to essentially ask yourself, “How are you feeling?” Taking a series of deep breaths can also help because that process activates the cranial nerve that helps regulates emotions and the nervous system. Above all else, experts say, it’s important for you to accept your emotions. This self-compassion releases oxytocin, which creates a feeling of calmness. “It’s important to recognize your emotions especially now given the mental challenges that comes with living through a pandemic,” says Angele D’Alessio from the Canadian Mental Health Association. “We’re committed to doing that.” This year’s Mental Health Week, to be held May 3-9, will aim to spread the message that that naming, expressing and dealing with all our emotions is critical to our mental health. “The message to Canadians this Mental Health Week is clear. To help us get in touch with our emotions, we need to name it, not numb it,” says Angele D’Alessio. The information provided is not a substitute for professional advice. If you need advice, please consult a qualified health care professional.

EASTERN ONTARIO – The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) has announced the promotion of Ron Ferguson to the job of Director of Education. Ferguson, who currently serves as the UCDSB’s Superintendent of Human Resources will be taking over the top administrative job at the Board from Stephen Sliwa who announced his retirement earlier this year. “The Board of Trustees was impressed with the quality of applicants we had for this position,” says Chair of the Board John McAllister. “A Director of Education needs to have a high level of personal and professional integrity, have a student-first mindset, be collaborative, compassionate, decisive and accountable. Ron has demonstrated these qualities time and time again through his teaching and progressive leadership with our board. We are confident that with Ron at the helm of the organization, we will be able to effectively navigate through the rest of this pandemic and continue to prepare all students for a successful life.” Ferguson has worked with the UCDSB for 18 years as a teacher and has served as Vice-Principal and Principal in the Perth and Almonte regions. “The UCDSB is at the core of who I am. I’ve learned from our teachers, I’ve worked sideby-side with our principals and our senior leadership team, and I’ve had great guidance along the way,” says Ferguson. “I’m looking forward to taking all that I’ve learned and to continue to provide innovative, transparent and effective leadership to our organization.”

TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH STOMRONT NEWS
Otter Energy presents solar power options to SS council
6 - Wednesday, May 19, 2021
- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com
SOUTH STORMONT, Ontario – Daren Crawford, Senior Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for Otter Energy, presented Infrastructure Canada’s Renewable Energy Grant Program to the council on Wednesday, May 12, 2021. “What we really have here, the way I perceive this program, is finally a way to offer a competitor to a monopoly that has existed in Ontario for over 100 years,” said Crawford. “The monopoly I speak to is Hydro One.” Crawford notes that energy costs could be permanently reduced to 80 per cent or more when switching to solar energy. The Green Inclusive Community Building Program offers two main funding sources. The first source is $100,000 for projects that are $250,000 or smaller. The second offers 80 per cent funding and is geared towards projects that cost more than $250,000 and
less than $3 million. Additionally, Otter Energy offers a large competitor fund for those looking for funds of up to $30 million. Applications for these grants must be submitted by July 6. Some examples of eligible facilities for the grant include community arenas, recreation centres, and indigenous health and social infrastructure facilities. Otter Energy operates out of Picton, and been helping Ontario businesses, institutions, and community facilities save on energy costs since 2009. Last year, the company offered a CIF grant for commercial projects and was successful in securing nearly $15 million in funding through the federal government grant program. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, approximately a third of those projects were lost. The first question following the presentation came from Councillor Cindy Woods, who asked, “When the system goes down, how does the transition back to Hydro happen until the system gets put back up again?”
Crawford explained that when Otter Energy designed their net metering system, they installed inverters which help to convert direct current power into alternating current power. “We set the inverters at a higher voltage than what the grid operates at,” said Crawford. “So, if the solar is on, the inverters are always pushing back on the grid. As soon as inverters fail, immediately the power comes back in off the grid.” Mayor Bryan MacGillis then asked Crawford who would be responsible for overseeing the roof load capacity for the weight of the solar panels.
“The first engineer on site is the structural engineer,” said Crawford. “If there’s a problem, 90 per cent of the time they can find a way to reinforce the roof.” Mayor MacGillis later added, “I’m a believer in renewable energy if we can use it at the right time. There’s a lot of need at peak hours for renewable [energy]. A lot of the times it’s just wasted, they have to dump it because there’s too much, so it’s a fine line. Renewable [energy] works well when it’s working but doesn’t work well when it’s not.” For more information on Otter Energy, please visit their website.

The most important, and the one that everything else hinges on, is the population growth that the City of Cornwall is experiencing. Last week, I talked about the importance of the census. The fact that the City of Cornwall has several major residential building projects on the go, including the Northwoods and Baldwin Ave. subdivisions speaks to the growth that the city is experiencing, but only a census can give a clearer picture of where Cornwall sits population wise. As the city grows, this leads to several other major decisions that will need to be made as to how Cornwall develops. One such decision is how we get around. For a long time, I have felt that Cornwall is a very car-centric city, and I’m not the only one. I’ve had members of the public comment to me that to go anywhere in this city and to have a freedom of movement, you need a car. There are however some real advantages to being more friendly to bicycles and pedestrians. Cornwall has already been making some great strides towards becoming a more bike friendly community. Four years ago, Cornwall was awarded the bronze level for being a Bicycle Friendly Community by the Share the Road Bicycle Coalition and was upgraded to silver level this year. This past month, Cornwall took another step towards supporting a new way of getting around the city that doesn’t involve cars, pedicabs. The Senior Friendly Community Committee received funding from the Rotary Club of Cornwall Sunrise for their summer pedicab project. The project will see volunteers take seniors around the city to show off what Cornwall has to offer. Committee member Bernard Lamarche told me that it was not just about supporting seniors who already live in Cornwall, but also about showcasing the city to tourists and potential new residents. “We want to make it attractive and feel like home,” Lamarche said. “We have so many assets here that we want to show.” The pedicab that will be used for this project is being leased to the committee by Waterfront Tours, a new company starting up just this summer which will man two other pedicabs around the city giving tours along the waterfront. Waterfront Tours is already getting ready for a partnership with restaurants to offer meals at the end of some of these tours, which sounds like a great way to not only show off the city, but also support our restaurants during this difficult time. Not just being bike friendly, but being pedestrian friendly too has its advantages. Being a walkable city is not just healthy for residents, but it is healthy for businesses too. Residents are more likely to visit and spend money at more businesses if they are packed together in a more walkable environment. Being a walkable city also means being an accessible city and if Cornwall wants to continue to grow, then it needs to be accessible for those who maybe cannot afford a car (see the rising gas prices) or perhaps seniors who no longer want the hassle of owning a car, but still live independently and want to get around. There are a few different initiatives that Cornwall can look at to move away from being so car-centric. This is a trend that has been happening across North America during the pandemic, so there are a lot of examples to pick from. Many of these initiatives are aimed at supporting restaurants, which is a double win for Cornwall which has a lot of great places to eat. In Tampa, Florida, that city is running a pilot program to allow restaurants to take up parking spaces for outdoor dining tables. In Berkley, California, that city is taking it a step further by allowing some downtown streets to be closed during peak hours so that restaurants can setup tables in the street. This summer will be much like last year’s, with few events, and indoor dining likely restricted, at least for a little while. By facilitating walkable streets and giving more spaces to restaurants to setup dining tables not only would Cornwall be giving people more things to do, they would also be providing an economic boost to a hard-hit sector of the economy. What do you think readers? Is Cornwall a car-centric community? Is this a bad thing? Email me a Letter to the Editor at nseebruch@seawaynews.media

A thank you to the medical community in Cornwall Dear Editor, My experience prior moving to Cornwall was nothing of this sort. I am compelled to inform all of you of my experience. Searching for a primary Physician I was fortunate to have Dr. Banik accepted me as her patient. She has demonstrated the highest level of interest in my wellbeing by scheduling all the test I underwent. And this again is not what I have experienced prior to my moving to Cornwall. “Thank you Dr. Banik!” From the reception at the Hospital, to the Doctors, Nurses and all those who were involved in my specialized tests and care, I can not thank you enough. It gave me trust, confidence and peace of mind. For someone my age (74), these experiences have provided me with peace of mind and overwhelming admiration. With this acknowledgement I wish to thank everyone I have been in contact with for their unsurpassed medical attention, kindness and love for their fellow human beings. From a grateful senior citizen, all of you should be very proud. Eva Ackermann Cornwall, Ontario

OPINION
City gets a Major League mention Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings
EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM
This might be a first for Cornwall: A shout-out (aka plug) during a Major League baseball broadcast. Cornwall native Lt.-Col. Tony Johnson, who is winding down a deployment to a U. S. air base before returning to Canada next month, tells us he was listening to the St. Louis Cardinals-San Diego Padres fixture on the weekend when it was mentioned that outfielder Ryan O’Neill of the Cards is Canadian and he once played hockey for a junior team called the Pembroke Lumber Kings “up there” near Ottawa. The colour commentator picked up on it and pointed out that several times he had been to a nice little city called Cornwall along the U.S. border and not far from Pembroke. As legendary New York Yankees announcer Mel Allen was fond of saying, “How about that!” THE COVID FILE The long-term care problems didn’t start the day Doug Ford and the Conservatives took power three years ago. The “warehousing” of the elderly in too many homes has festered out-of-sight, out-of-mind for years. It took COVID-19 to expose the problems. No question Ford and pals have made some missteps in the vaccination roll-out, but a lot of the finger-pointing should be aimed in the direction of Trudeau the Younger. Canada ranks far behind most Western countries when it comes to vaccinations which has put pressure on the provinces to deliver the goods. Can’t lay the blame on Doug Ford.
first, and only, NDP provincial member for Stormont (now Stormont-Dundas and South Glengarry). ... Cornwall physician Dr. L. A. Caldwell was honoured by the Ontario Medical Association (OMA) with a life membership. He first opened a practice in Cornwall in 1935 and served as Howard Smith Paper Mill plant physician during that time. This was a time when docs made house calls and had offices in their homes. ... CCVS math teacher Art Bond was named teacher-of-the-year by the OSSTF Seaway District. ... Jen Crothers, a teacher at Central Public School for 40 years, retired. She started her career in a one-room rural Dundas school house. ... A survey of Pitt Street merchants showed overwhelming support for closing a twoblock section of the street to traffic to create a pedestrian mall. The merchants believed it would bring more people to the downtown core. It proved to be a million dollar mistake. ... City police stopped checking on residences when the occupants were away on vacation. Deputy Chief H. J. Poirier noted that the task took away from other duties. He said in the summer police patrols were checking as many as 200 homes a day. PART TWO The Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA) received a $36,000 federal grant to help purchase 74 acres belonging to the former Copeland farm. The plan was to develop the property for a recreational area. ... Nine of 15 businesses on Boundary Road favoured re-naming it Cornwall Drive. It didn’t happen. ...

We’ll handle the rest. You are passengers. Act just as any passengers might during an incident. For the next four days, those are your only instructions. Think you can handle that?” At that, we were told to board the aircraft. As I had never flown in first class, that’s the cabin I chose. “Ah! Leg room, comfortable seat, no three or four-abreast seating!” The first scenario: a hooded man stormed the cabin, shouting, brandishing a hand-gun, shouting, “Nobody has to get hurt! Just do as I say…” We were absolutely shocked. It seemed so real! “Cut! Cut!” screamed the director. Look folks, a guy wearing a baklava, has a gun, shouts at you…and you just sit there? C’mon, work with us!” I exchanged a smile and a nudge with the extra sitting beside me. For the rest of the day, we were more animated. That evening, I went to a local Greek bakery and purchased three baklavas. The next day I distributed them, one for me, one for my
seatmate and one for the director. As he hesitantly accepted gazed my strange offering, his face screwed up with a puzzled look. For the next three days all sorts of scenarios were enacted: bomb threats, hostages grabbed, an undercover air marshal attempted to intervene, false alarm... We extras acted as we thought we would and should, sometimes pleading, sometimes just cowering. In some situations, we were just aghast. The cameras rolled. The director was usually delighted. On the last morning, a new situation took place. A couple emerged from the tourist class cabin. They were having a heated argument. He grabbed her wrist. On impulse, angered, I jumped up, seized him from behind, forcibly locking my arm round his neck, pulling him backward, my knee at the base of his spine, shouting “Let her go, or I’ll…” “Cut! CUT!” The director then explained that I had spoiled their intended roles. They were accomplices to the yet-to-be revealed

If you’ve ever toured a slaughter house, your attitude toward eating poultry, beef or pork will be changed. If you’ve ever been immersed in a Third World farming operation, you’d have a much better appreciation of the relentless toil of the locals’ lives. Ever since being an extra during the filming of a series of anti-hijacking, anti-terrorist training films, I have an enlightened but eerie awareness of what could happen in an airliner whenever a security threat takes place. The filming took place in a grounded Douglas DC-10 airliner. Actors, film crews and over a dozen extras were involved. One the first-day briefing, the director gave us our instructions. “Our role-playing actors have been given their directions and script.
... St. Lawrence High School Cadet Major Guy Lalonde was named top cadet at the annual inspection. Cadet Capt. Jacques Bouchard was voted outstanding officer. ... Best Form Brassiere Co. set up shop in the Courtaulds complex. Company officials said the start-up staff of 14 would grow to 120 within a year. ... Ralph Hurley announced that he was not returning as coach of the Cornwall Royals, a job he took over in mid-season. ... Gaylord Thomas had four goals as St. Regis Braves downed Cornwall Celtics 15-8 in a junior lacrosse match. Travis Cook and Mike Benedict each had three. Yvon Disotell scored five for the Celtics. FAST FACT Cornwall’s first taxi business was set up by Thomas Murphy in 1873 using a horse and buggy. TRIVIA This Hollywood blockbuster filled the Capitol Theatre for nine straight days – an average of three showings a day – in the early 1940s. It became the theatre’s longest-running movie and set attendance records. TRIVIA ANSWER Val Champagne, 25-year-old Cornwall resident, set a world record on Jan. 15, 1958, when he played the violin for 30 straight hours. Champagne, who lost his job nine months earlier when Courtaulds shut down the spinning department, was cheered on by about 250 supporters as he played behind the show window of a Montreal Road store. Seven hours after he ended his marathon, his wife, Raymonde, gave birth to a baby boy. QUOTES - “People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient ... then repent.” - Bob Dylan ONE FINAL THING It’s been a wacky NHL season. Two teams opened the Stanley Cup playoffs – Boston and Washington while two teams – Vancouver and Calgary – were still playing the regular season.

Meanwhile, supply is not the problem in the United States. The problem is convincing people to get a shot in the arm. Some unique tools are being employed to encourage folks to get vaccinated, offering everything from free Major League tickets, to a shot of whisky (shot-for-a-shot) to million dollar lotteries. Cornwall’s active case number was down to 39 on Friday with a slight uptick – 42 – coming off the weekend. LOOKING BACK AT 1971 Saying that Cornwall deserved something better than a University of Ottawa extension campus, a group in May 1971 launched a campaign to bring a full-fledged university campus to Cornwall. A spokesperson for the group – Cornwall Association for a University - said a campus would go a long way to “stabilize the city’s cultural life and be a source of higher education closer to home for local students.” But after pounding on the doors of power, the drive for a university campus withered on the vine and died. A report on the struggle to establish the campus blamed push-back from the University of Ottawa and lack of support from upper level government representatives. The university feared losing revenue-generating students from Cornwall to the proposed campus. The report claimed that a high-ranking University of Ottawa official told the Cornwall delegation that U of O would use its political muscle to make sure Cornwall never got a university. (The report is for another column). ALSO THIS WEEK IN 1971 – A 28-yearold Cornwall Collegiate history teacher was nominated by the Stormont New Democratic Party (NDP) Riding Association to contest the upcoming provincial election.

Les Ontariens de 18 ans et plus pourront se faire vacciner dès cette semaine PAR ÉMILIE PELLETIER, JOURNALISTE, INITIATIVE DE JOURNALISME LOCAL
Dr. Renee Givari (à droite), chef de la médecine et intensiviste au l’HCC, reçoit sa deuxième dose du vaccin. Photo soumise.
Le personnel de première ligne de l’HCC reçoit sa deuxième dose de vaccin contre la COVID-19

- Cornwall Express - www.cornwallseawaynews.com
COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESS DE L’HCC CORNWALL, Ontario - Les travailleuses et les travailleurs de la santé de première ligne ainsi que les médecins de l’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall (HCC) ont commencé à recevoir la deuxième dose de vaccin contre la COVID-19, et ce, plus rapidement que prévu. D’ici à l’été, la plupart des membres du personnel et des médecins de l’HCC travaillant auprès de patientes et de patients dans des environnements à haut risque et qui ont reçu la première dose de vaccin plus tôt cette année seront maintenant entièrement vaccinés et davantage protégés contre le nouveau coronavirus potentiellement mortel. Les échéanciers pour l’obtention de la deuxième dose ont été devancés par suite de l’autorisation du gouvernement de l’Ontario selon laquelle le personnel médical travaillant dans certains milieux de soins peut maintenant bénéficier d’un intervalle réduit entre les doses en raison d’une augmentation de l’approvisionnement. « C’est un moment émouvant pour bon nombre de nos travailleuses et travailleurs de première ligne ainsi que pour les médecins qui se sont dévoués de façon altruiste pour donner des soins aux patients infectés par la COVID-19, et c’est aussi un signe d’espoir pour l’avenir », a dit la présidente et directrice générale de l’HCC, Jeanette Despatie. La Dre Renee Givari, chef du Service de médecine à l’HCC et intensiviste, qui est aux premières lignes de la pandémie à l’Unité des soins aux patients en phase critique de l’établissement, a fait partie des premiers membres du personnel et des médecins de l’hôpital qui ont reçu leur deuxième dose le 14 mai. La Dre Renee Givari avait obtenu la première dose du vaccin en février. « Être entièrement vacciné apporte la tranquillité d’esprit en sachant que je suis protégée du mieux possible afin de ne pas être gravement malade ou hospitalisée en raison de la COVID-19, mais en plus, les données concrètes préliminaires montrent que si je suis infectée par le virus, la charge virale sera grandement réduite et qu’il est moins probable de transmettre le virus aux autres », a dit la Dre Givari. « Même les personnes jeunes et en santé qui sont vaccinées contre la COVID-19 risquent bien moins d’infecter les autres dans la communauté par la transmission asymptomatique », a-t-elle ajouté. Pour le moment, le personnel de l’HCC qui travaille surtout dans un bureau ou à domicile ne peut pas recevoir la deuxième dose dans un intervalle plus court entre les deux doses. Pour plus de renseignements sur l’admissibilité au vaccin ou pour prendre rendez-vous afin de vous faire vacciner, veuillez consulter le site du Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario au www.eohu.ca/fr<http://www.eohu.ca/fr>.
ONTARIO - En avance sur son plan de vaccination, l’Ontario a annoncé que les 18 ans et plus pourront prendre rendez-vous pour se faire vacciner contre la COVID-19 à compter de mardi. Il n’était pas prévu que les personnes âgées de 18 ans et plus soient admissibles avant la semaine prochaine, mais le gouvernement Ford a changé sa stratégie en raison d’une livraison des doses du vaccin de Pfizer, qui était attendue seulement la semaine prochaine, mais qui a été devancée à cette semaine face au long week-end à venir. La province avait initialement prévu que ce seraient les 40 à 30 ans qui seraient admissibles à compter de cette semaine. Les Ontariens âgés de 17 ans, mais qui auront 18 ans en 2021 pourront eux aussi recevoir le vaccin. En Ontario, plus de 7 millions de doses ont été administrées au total, mais seules 432 760 personnes ont reçu leurs deux doses jugées nécessaires par les fabricants pour une pleine immunisation. Plus de la moitié des adultes de l’Ontario ont reçu au moins une dose.
Les cas Selon le plus récent bilan de la santé publique de la province, publié lundi matin, 2199 individus ont reçu un résultat positif à leur test de dépistage de la COVID-19, dimanche. En tout, plus de 511 000 infections au coronavirus ont été répertoriées en Ontario. Les autorités sanitaires ont comptabilisé jusqu’à présent 108 801 cas confirmés du variant B.1.1.7 (Royaume-Uni), 2021 cas confirmés du variant P.1 (Brésil) ainsi que 679 cas confirmés du variant B.1.351 (Afrique du Sud). <@Rb>Décès et hospitalisations<@$p> Dimanche, quatre Ontariens ont perdu la vie en raison du virus, portant le bilan total des décès causés par la COVID-19 à 8489. Le nombre d’hospitalisations est à la baisse, mais le nombre de patients aux soins intensifs demeure élevé. Dimanche, 1320 personnes atteintes du coronavirus étaient à l’hôpital, dont 779 aux soins intensifs et 536 sous respirateur. Au cours de la dernière journée, près de 24 500 tests de dépistage ont été effectués en province. Cet article a été initialement écrit et paru dans Le Droit.
En souvenir de Gaëtan Simard COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE L’ACFO SDG
CORNWALL, Ontario - Gaëtan Simard est décédé le 12 mai 2021. Francophone engagé dans sa communauté, fier de sa langue et de sa culture, M Simard restera gravé en nos mémoires par son dévouement, sa passion et sa bonne humeur contagieuse. Il croyait fondamentalement que les francophones avaient leur place. Sa croyance en la jeunesse influença des générations de jeunes à devenir des membres à part entière dans la francophonie vibrante de la région. Les membres du Club Richelieu et de l’ACFO SDG souhaitent leurs condoléances à la famille de ce grand homme et de ce grand bénévole. « C’est une personne qui a œuvré auprès des jeunes toute sa vie en tant qu’enseignant et aussi en tant que membre du club Optimiste, où il a occupé plusieurs postes, dont celui de gouverneur. Il a donné beaucoup de son temps au club Octogone, parce qu’il aimait les jeunes et qu’il voulait en faire de bons citoyens » de souligner M. Michel Dubuc président du Club Richelieu de Cornwall. Mme Dianne Poirier, présidente de l’ACFO
SDG ajoute « c’est avec tristesse que j’ai appris le décès de Gaëtan Simard, un ancien collègue et un francophone dévoué avec cœur et âme auprès de la jeunesse et à plusieurs niveaux dans la communauté. Il va nous manquer. » Pour célébrer la vie de Gaëtan, le drapeau au monument de la francophonie sera mis en berne en signe de respect et d’honneur.

FINCH, Ontario - La Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) a fait don de 1 100 semis d’arbres aux infirmières et infirmiers des hôpitaux à l’occasion de la Semaine nationale des soins infirmiers, alors que la pandémie se prolonge dans sa deuxième année. Le personnel soignant de première ligne du Glengarry Memorial Hospital, du Winchester District Memorial Hospital et de l’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall a reçu des arbres gratuits de la part de la CNS pendant la saison de plantation printanière de l’Office de protection de la nature. Les semis d’épinette de Norvège donnés provenaient du Centre forestier Ferguson de Kemptville et ont été achetés par la CNS grâce aux fonds recueillis lors des campagnes de financement de 2020, et au soutien de la Fondation de l’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall. « Nous voulons montrer notre appréciation et notre soutien aux soignants de première ligne dans nos collectivités qui ont travaillé sans relâche tout au long de cette pandémie », a déclaré John Mesman, responsable des communications de la CNS. « Les arbres sont résilients, comme nous ; et nous espérons que les arbres nouvellement plantés inspireront les autres et leur donneront un peu d’espoir pour l’avenir. » En 2021, la CNS s’est fixé l’objectif ambitieux de contribuer à la plantation de plus de 200 000 arbres dans son bassin versant de l’Est de l’Ontario. Cette année, elle s’apprête à planter plus de 230 000 arbres au printemps, battant ainsi un précédent record établi en 1993 et représentant une augmentation par rapport au nombre moyen d’arbres plantés

“Unjudge someone” at SDG Human Library event NICK SEEBRUCH
@C:nseebruch@seawaynews.media
UNITED COUNTIES of SD&G, Ontario – The United Counties of SD&G Library will be hosting a virtual “Human Library” event on Wednesday, May 19. Working much the same as a regular book library, a Human Library let’s someone rent an individual and learn about their experiences. The ‘Human Library’ helps us to understand obstacles and struggles that others face” said
Sylvie Juteau, Library Service Assistant with SDG Library and one of the organizers of the local event. “It teaches us to recognize that we are all imperfect, we all make mistakes, and we can all learn from better understanding those around us.” Through the Human Library Organization, the SDG Library has organized seven “human books” to share their experiences in 20-minute sessions. The tagline for the Human Library Organization is “Unjudge Someone”
Readers who would like to borrow a human book must register by emailing programs@ sdglibrary.ca or call (613) 930-3493. Once registered, borrowers can interact with their human books at a scheduled time where they will discuss their experiences as well as a dedicated topic such as prejudice, stigmatization, or discrimination. Difficult questions are expected and welcomed. Human books can be browsed at sdglibrary. ca/human-library

goes through my mind is what a nice show of support for the community.” Bennett also preemptively responded to those who might ask why there are not painted crosswalks specifically for straight people. “I say to you, I can walk across a crosswalk, or I can go to a parade, or I can go to a park and hold my wife’s hand and not worry about being harassed either verbally or physically,” said Bennett. “I think by doing something like this we are saying to all of our communities that we are accepting of you.”
South Dundas Spring Art Contest winner PROVIDED BY THE TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH DUNDAS SOUTH DUNDAS, Ontario – South Dundas Parks and Recreation’s Spring Art Contest garnered a wide range of interest since it’s announcement on April 15, 2021. The contest was developed as a community engagement and beautification activity where the winner’s artwork would be printed on a wrap for a refurbished waste collection can. The winner will also receive a $100.00 gift card to the South Dundas business of their choice. Municipal staff were thrilled with the submissions that came from youth aged five to 16. Municipal staff were consulted to select the top five submission pieces with the final winner
announced by long-time staffer, Chris “Krusty” Wouters, in a video on the Municipal social media channels. The top five submissions came from Alexis Grenkie-Brooks 16, Joshua Stewart 14, Makenna Thomas 13, Emily Morris 9 and Kate Morell 5. The winning spot went to Makenna Thomas. “We were so impressed by the skill and creativity shown by the young artists that we’ve decided to print all of the five finalists on wraps for waste collection cans across South Dundas,” said Austin Marcellus, Manager of Parks and Recreation. “This has been a great activity that will add to the beautification of our parks. Congratulations to you all!”
Grouping up and getting active NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
CORNWALL, Ontario – The ongoing lockdown and stay-at-home order can make it difficult to remain active, but Lauren Secord has set out to walk 100km this month, and is finding that there are many who are eager to join her. “I attempted it last year after a friend posted it on Facebook,” Secord explained. “I needed something to clear my head after work, so I just started walking. I was a few kms shy of 100 for May last year, so I pushed it for June and ended up with 167. Here we are a year later, and I think it may just become an annual thing now.” Secord is not alone in taking up this challenge. She created a Facebook page titled 100k In May With Lauren which at time of writing has over 400 members who have also taken up the challenge. She explained that she’s been receiving great feedback from other participants. “I’ve received a ton of positive feedback from people since starting the group,” said Secord. “The general sentiment is that most people are just happy to have a common goal to strive for, and something to think about besides the everyday madness. Everyone seems to have their own reason for doing this, and that’s great! We’ve created a really comfortable space for people to be vulnerable and share their thoughts and feelings. It’s become a very motivating and inspiring place, with a lot of honesty and encouragement.” Pariticpants can complete their 100kms through either walking, biking, or paddling or in whatever other way they see fit. Group members can also get t-shirts for $25, made by Mike’s Printing and Apparel, with $5 going to support the United Way of SDG. “I think it really was like a snowball. Once a few people joined and saw how much fun it was to be part of the group, more and more people started joining,” Secord said. “Lockdowns suck, and this gave everyone a little something to work toward in the meantime. It’s crazy how good it feels to set a goal and achieve it, no matter how big or small. It’s awesome we get to help the United Way too!” Secord expects to reach her 100km goal by the end of the month, and has plans for new goals for herself and the group later in the summer.

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall City Councillor Carilyne Hébert put forward a motion at the May 10 Council meeting asking administration to consider allowing a crosswalk in the city to be painted in honour of Pride Week. In her motion, Hébert argues that Pride Week is an important time for Cornwall’s local 2SLGBTQ+ advocacy group Diversity Cornwall, as it highlights and celebrates their efforts to support and advocate for the 2SLGBTQ+ community in Cornwall. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Diversity Cornwall will not be able to hold their traditional Pride Week celebrations, including the Pride March. Hébert offers that painting a crosswalk in honour of Pride Week is another way that it can be celebrated in these current COVID times. “I wanted to stress the importance that
celebrating Pride has to our community, not just once a year, but every day to show our residents that we are an inclusive community and that not only that we have diversity, but that we embrace diversity,” Hébert said. Pride Week runs from July 10 to 17 this year, and Hébert asked that administration return in four weeks with a report on the feasibility, cost, as well as potential crosswalks that could be painted in honour of Pride Week. The motion was seconded by Councillor Todd Bennett who said that the idea was about supporting members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community in Cornwall. “I drive a motorcycle and I drive through a lot of different communities, and whether if you drive through Ottawa, or believe it or not, Prescott, you can find a rainbow crosswalk,” he said. “This isn’t something that is unheard of and every time I drive by one the thing that

Rotary Sunrise supports senior pedicab project NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
@CORNWALL, Ontario – On Friday, May 14, the Rotary Club of Cornwall Sunrise presented a $3,000 donation to the Cornwall Senior Friendly Community Committee to support their summer pedicab initiative. The initiative will allow seniors to take tours of Lamoureux Park in a pedicab driven by volunteers including their fellow seniors and youth volunteers. Bernard Lamarche of the Senior Friendly
Community Committee explained that not only would this initiative help seniors remain active, but also help promote the City of Cornwall. “We want to make it attractive and feel like home,” Lamarche said. “We have so many assets here that we want to show.” The project is aiming to start on June 1, with one pedicab for the summer season, but Lamarche said that he hopes that there will be a whole fleet in operation next year. “This will increase the quality of life for seniors,” Lamarche said of the program.

Don’t waste your hard-earned money arguing over household items At one point in every separation, the couple has to turn their minds to the division of their household items. Sound simple? It’s not. Frankly, it can be one of the most contentious issues that family lawyers deal with. Each party usually wants to keep what they consider the ‘good’ items. We usually recommend that lists are made and exchanged to try and divide the household items as equally as possible. The problem is that those ‘good’ items usually end up on both lists. Depending on the attitudes of the spouses, the argument about the big screen tv can turn into more of a power struggle than a reasonable negotiation. If you have not yet involved lawyers, this back and forth negotiation can be emotionally draining. If you have lawyers, you may be each paying significant fees to negotiate for your precious items. If you are turning to your lawyer to negotiate this for you, you may want to take a second look as to what items you cannot live without. Take a rational look at this – are you paying significant hourly fees to your lawyer to negotiate items of little financial value? Have you
The pedicab program will be operated in partnership with the Seaway Valley Community Health Centre. Lamarche praised the City of Cornwall and the Seaway Valley Community Health Centre for their support of the project, saying that it would not be possible without them. When the program goes active, individuals can book a ride or volunteer by visiting the Seaway Valley Community Health Centre website as well as the City of Cornwall website. The pedicab itself is being leased from

Waterfront Tours. Waterfront Tours is a new summer company in Cornwall, which will be operating two pedicabs of their own throughout the summer as well. The Waterfront Tours will be offering pedicab tours along Cornwall’s waterfront from Pointe Maligne to Seaway International Bridge for between $40-$45. They will also be offering evening tours in partnership with four local restaurants which would include a tour of part of the city as well as a meal.
CORNWALL, Ontario – The region’s two English language school boards the public Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB), the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO), as well as the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) and Cornwall Police Service (CPS) are partnering to address the issue of fentanyl use among youth in the community. Fentanyl is a powerful opioid linked to a rise in overdoses in the Cornwall region and across North America. Twice so far in 2021 the CPS and the EOHU have issued joint statements on the dangers of opioid use. “This is a worrying trend because these opioids are stronger and causing more overdoses in users,” says Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health at the EOHU. “I can’t stress how important it is for all users to have Naloxone on hand when they are using these drugs. I am also concerned because Naloxone is not effective on individuals who have overdosed on benzodiazepines. This is why I strongly urge anyone who suspects a person is having an overdose to call 911 right away, even before they administer naloxone.” “Opioids are endangering the lives of vulnerable members of our community and we are dependent on everyone to take this messaging seriously,” said CPS Inspector of Field Operations, Chad Maxwell. “We are asking the public to

Councillor wants to keep an eye on private CCTV cameras NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
CORNWALL, Ontario – Councillor Todd Bennett put forward a motion at the Cornwall City Council meeting on Monday, May 10 with the goal of looking at regulating the use of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras and other similar types of surveillance systems on private property. “This all came about from an email I received from a resident . . . where a neighbour has a camera on a pole and it is aimed directly into his backyard,” explained Councillor Bennett. “So he called police and By-Law to see if there’s anything that can be done and both told him that there’s nothing they can do about it because there are no laws in place in regards to private citizens with surveillance equipment. So, I thought that was hard to believe.” Bennett pointed out that businesses and organizations had to follow strict rules when
it comes to the use of surveillance equipment, but that no such rules exist for private property owners. Private property owners can be charged if it is proven that they are using their surveillance equipment for voyeurism or harassment, but Bennett said that the standard to prove such intent was quite high. What is not and cannot be that high are fences. Bennett explained that the resident who contacted him tried to build a fence tall enough to block the camera’s view, but found that by-law regulations prohibited him from building a fence that high. Bennett said that no other municipality in Ontario had a by-law to regulate the use of security equipment on private property and conceded that the City of Cornwall’s lawyers would have to review any legislation before it is passed. “I don’t know what this by-law would look like, but I know there must be something we can do to protect someone’s own property
from being spied on,” Bennett said. “This is a privacy issue that is going to start coming about more and more.” “This gentlemen who sent me the email said his daughters are afraid to go into their backyard because they’re afraid of being watched,” Bennett continued. “You should be able to enjoy your own personal property without having that kind of a fear.” Councillor Dean Hollingsworth seconded the motion. “I believe I spoke with the same gentleman that Councillor Bennett talked to and I couldn’t agree more with his dilemma and Councillor Bennett said, you should be able to enjoy the privacy of your backyard without having someone watching you for any reason,” said Councillor Hollingsworth. “What’s interesting is that I can’t park a trailer in my driveway, but I’m allowed film my neighbour. I can’t leave my car in my driveway without a license plate, but I can install a whole myriad
Queen’s Park Update – May 14, 2021
With the new, more contagious variants continuing to pose significant risks, our Government, in consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health, is extending the Stay-at-Home Order and the public health and workplace safety measures under the provincewide emergency brake until at least June 2, 2021. The extension will allow our vaccination programs more time to provide the protection levels we need to slow the spread. Our Premier is also asking the Prime Minister to close the loopholes at our borders. Up to 88,000 people have bypassed the 3-day hotel requirement when re-entering the country. Experts are raising the possibility that our vaccines will not be as effective against the new variants of concern detected in some parts of the world. We have overcome many challenges over the past year and a bit, and we do not want to see it all undone by what scientists are calling a variant of high consequence.
The steady supply of vaccines from the Federal Government continues to allow us to broaden the vaccination rollout to more Ontarians. Locally, our health unit is forecasted to receive double the Pfizer doses next week. The following week’s supply will increase by another 20 percent and maintain this level throughout June. Dr. Paul’s team will have vaccinated over 80,000 residents by the weekend, and these new supplies will go a long way to inoculating our region and allowing for a more typical summer. We have not received the AstraZeneca vaccine supplies necessary for our current pharmacy program. The shortage, along with the recent blood-clot data, has caused Ontario to pause its use for first-dose vaccinations. The medical experts are evaluating other vaccines for use in our pharmacy program, as they typically have more stringent delivery and storage requirements. Those 40 and over are now eligible to book a vaccination, along with all
workers who can not work from home and individuals with at-risk health conditions, such as dementia, diabetes, and sickle cell disease. Please visit www.ontario.ca/bookvaccine or by calling 1-888-999-6488 if you have a red and white OHIP card or need assistance. “Ontario’s vaccine rollout continues to pick up speed, and we are on track to administer the first dose to 65 percent of Ontario adults by the end of May,” Minister Elliott said this week. “We remain focused on protecting those most at risk, and I want to thank all of our frontline health care workers for their tireless work each day to protect the health and safety of Ontarians.” Recent data reveals the first dose offers considerable protection, as only .06 percent of these recipients have contracted COVID-19. Most contractions occurred within two weeks of receiving the vaccine. This week Minister Lisa MacLeod announced
of cameras filming all of the people who abut my yard and they can literally do nothing about that. I don’t care what rule book you’re playing with that seems grossly philosophically flawed. I think people should, as mentioned, be entitled to some measure of privacy. Administration will prepare a report for Council for a future meeting outlining recommended actions that could be taken on the issue.
the new Ontario Tourism and Travel Small Business Support Grant to help those in this sector who have been impacted significantly by the pandemic and failed to qualify for previous supports. The grant will provide one-time payments of a minimum of $10,000 and up to $20,000 to qualifying tourism and travel businesses in Ontario. They have been hit hard by the pandemic, and over the past year, we have provided a series of programs to help them survive. While it is not possible to address the full impact of the pandemic, our Government is working to help the province achieve a prosperous future. Applicants can grant details and access under the “business” tab at www.Ontario.ca/COVID. Remember to maintain personal spacing, wear a mask, and stay home, except to pick up essential items.

I want to thank Chris; one of Cornwall Transit’s supervisors for getting me to my appointment on time on May 11th. The bus I was to take had a flat tire. The Cornwall Transits employees are wonderfully friendly and helpful. I’ve lived all over Canada and there have never been bus drivers so friendly and caring. Thank you According to the EOHU, of all eligible adults in the region, half have received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Among those 70 and older, 100 per cent have at least received their first dose. Way to go. Go get vaccinated. The sooner we get the vaccine, the sooner we get out of this pandemic. Last week, members of the Cornwall Royals 1981 Memorial Cup championship team reunited virtually to relive old memories. Do you remember watching that season?

United Counties of SDG launches new website PROVIDED BY THE UNITED COUNTIES OF SDG
UNITED COUNTIES of SDG, Ontario - The United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry today launched its newly redesigned website, sdgcounties.ca. The new sdgcounties.ca is a customizable web platform that makes it easier for residents, visitors and developers to find the information they are seeking, with links to like-minded agencies and contact details for Counties staff. Some of the new features include a more intuitive layout with quick access to popular menu items, a community calendar that focuses on Counties corporate events, a
complete repository of news and notices and a greater focus on economic development that includes updates to Counties incentives programming and tools to link investors with available properties/locations in our region. “This new website will be a focal point in the Counties communications plan,” said Counties Corporate Communications Coordinator Todd Lihou. “The communications department is working closely with directors and managers to ensure content is accurate and informative. Our plan is to continue to augment and improve our new website as we receive feedback from staff, residents and council.” The redesign of the Counties website
began in July 2020 with the issuing of an RFP to solicit applications from digital agencies. The Counties and its partners received 18 submissions and convened virtual presentations from six finalists during the week of Aug. 24, 2020. Upanup (upanup.com), a digital agency with offices in Kitchener, Ont., was selected. The Counties budgeted $50,000 for this project. The Counties entered into a partnership with the Township of North Dundas and the Township of North Stormont. Both of those townships are likewise in the process of redeveloping their websites and in an effort to maximize investment the decision was made to partner our projects.
