Glen Grant appointed Mayor of Cornwall NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – At a Special Meeting on Thursday, July 8 Cornwall City Council voted for Councillor Glen Grant to be the next Mayor of Cornwall to fill the vacancy left by former Mayor Bernadette Clement.

“I’m not much of a crier, but somethings kind of get you,” said an emotional Grant. “I want to thank you for this honour. The job is easy because we have such a darn good administration.”

Council held the vote after choosing to pick the next mayor from within rather than going to a by-election.

Grant was elected six votes to two.

Councillor Justin Towndale was the only other candidate nominated for the job.

At the meeting, each candidate gave a brief speech explaining their qualifications for the job.

“I believe that with the support of my fellow councillors we can move the agenda forward, we can move the strategic plan. Bernadette paved that road and we have to follow that road and keep paving it,” Grant said.

Grant also stressed wanting to build closer ties to the United Counties of SD&G and the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne.

Councillor Towndale similarly had a message of continuity and relationship building, but also took the time to address a previous Code of Conduct violation for which he was reprimanded earlier this year.

Towndale was reprimanded at Councils

March 22 meeting for social media posts that were critical of City Administration.

“I am human, I have to accept full responsibility for my mistakes and I do,” Towndale said. “To the CAO I apologize and I’m not doing that tonight just to get your support, but this is the first opportunity I have had to do that in person.”

Towndale, who is a reservist with the Canadian Armed Forces stated that his training with the service was complete and that it would not interfere with his duties as Mayor if elected.

Councillor Towndale was nominated by Councillor Eric Bergeron who stressed that he would have preferred that Council run a by-election to fill the vacant Mayor’s seat, but said that since Towndale received more votes than any other councillor in the 2018 election that this made him the best candidate from among his colleagues to be the next Mayor.

Councillor Elaine MacDonald nominated Grant to be Mayor and stated that she supported him because he was straightforward, responsive and honest.

Councillor Claude McIntosh, who explained he is a lifelong friend of Grant’s, seconded the nomination, and noted that Grant would not be running for re-election in 2022.

McIntosh also took time to address issues raised by members of the Coalition for Unity, Respect, Equality/Equity for All (CUREA) who in a letter to media last month outlined statements and actions of Grant which they felt did not reflect the spirit of diversity.

McIntosh pointed to Grant managing the campaign of Eric Duncan, who is the MP for Stormont, Dundas, South Glengarry and is openly gay. Additionally, Grant supported Bernadette Clement for Mayor, who became the first black female Mayor in the history of Ontario. He also supported Deputy Cornwall Police Service Chief Shawna Spowart, also openly gay, to become the next Chief of Police.

Prior to Thursday’s vote, Seaway News reached out to former Mayor, Senator Bernadette Clement, for a comment on Grant possibly succeeding her as Mayor and on CUREA’s critiques of his fitness for the job and received the following statement: I have much respect for the work of the CUREA Board Members. They are inspired by the movements and shifts that are happening in communities across this country and are working on actions that support equity, diversity and most importantly, inclusion. I worked hard, and it was an honour to do so, at highlighting the need for and benefit of inclusion and full participation in community life, and at supporting the importance of a respectful and productive relationship with our neighbours and economic partners, the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne. This work was done with the full support and encouragement of City Council. We built this momentum together. I believe that Councillor Grant, or indeed, any one of the Councillors who might become Mayor, understands that the continued building of respectful relationships is the way

forward for our community. I will add that this Council has also shown itself to be innovative during the term and so there may be interesting and respectful conversations about how they will decide to deal with the vacant Councillor seat once a new Mayor has been selected. I must repeat what I said at the last Council meeting, that I believe that the City is in good hands with this Council and that they will properly handle the rest of this term. – Senator Bernadette Clement Senator Clement resigned as Mayor after being appointed to the Senate of Canada last month.

In the final tally for the vote for Mayor, councillors Elaine MacDonald, Claude McIntosh, Todd Bennett, Maurice Dupelle, Carilyne Hébert, and Syd Gardiner voted for Grant, with councillors Eric Bergeron and Dean Hollingsworth voting for Towndale.

Grant will officially be sworn in as Mayor of Cornwall at Council’s next regular meeting on Monday, July 12.

If someone you care about has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, you may be wondering how to offer your support. Depending on the severity of their condition, there are several ways you can help.

1. Encourage them to regularly engage in physical activities such as walking and stretching.

2. Remind them to correct their posture. A rounded back or slumped shoulders can affect their ability to breathe and eat.

3. Assist them in sorting through their clothes and taking them shopping if needed. Every piece should be comfortable and easy to put on.

4. Help them adapt their home to reduce their risk of falling. This can include removing carpets and installing handrails.

5. Give them challenges to maintain their communication and writing skills. For example, suggest that they read a magazine article out loud or write in a journal every day.

Canada’s oldest agricultural fair is turning 210 NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

WILLIAMSTOWN, Ontario – While the general public is still experiencing the tail end of the COVID-19 pandemic, the St. Lawrence Valley Agricultural Society is working hard to deliver an authentic experience for the 210th edition of the Williamstown Fair.

Canada’s oldest agricultural fair is back again this year, and once again, it will be in drive thru format. There still however, will be plenty on offer to enjoy.

Running from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 7 the 210th Williamstown Fair will have decorated floats, a tree giveaway, and a scarecrow contest, like last year, but St. Lawrence Valley Agricultural Society President

With the event extending into the evening, the fair committee has invested in lighting to keep the experience as fulfilling as possible into the nighttime hours.

“I would encourage people to come out, even if it is d a r k ,” H o p e said.

Last year’s DJ McDonald event saw over piped in the 209th Fair.

600 cars drive

through the fair grounds.

So far, the Fair has 25 floats committed to the event, including return submissions from Rozon Insurance, the Green Thumbs, local schools, and Lang’s Corn.

This year’s scarecrow competition has the theme of Glengarry My Home, and Hope is encouraging entrants to submit scarecrows that best represent all that is good about Glengarry County.

While not for public viewing, the Fair will still hold private competitions for cattle and horseback riding.

“We still want to be sure that we are considered to be a fair,” said Hope.

Healing and homeless shelter prepares to open its doors nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne (MCA) is prepared to launch a new service at the Care Centre on Second St. in Cornwall to support some of the most vulnerable members of the community.

Dubbed the Healing Centre, the MCA has leased and refurbished much of the ground floor of the former Cornwall General Hospital and turned it into a 11-room homeless shelter and early recovery healing centre.

Each room is equipped with one bed, a microwave, a fridge, and in most cases a bathroom with a communal shower. Initially, these rooms are envisioned as having single client occupants, but Healing Centre staff said that clients may be asked to double up if demand is great enough.

Clients of the centre will be provided with breakfast and lunch which will be prepared in the onsite kitchen with food that is also kept onsite.

Dinner will be provided by the owners of the Care Centre.

The Healing Centre will be staffed 24/7 with staff from the MCA’s Department of Community and Social Services. The client rooms include eight rooms for men, two for women, located at the front of the building near the security office, as well as a family apartment.

Clients will have access to medical staff and mental health therapists onsite, as well as an onsite legal liaison office.

There also will be an education room where clients will be able to take courses on addiction management, job searching, skills training and

more. Additionally, there will be a recreational and workout area with a tv, and workout equipment.

The MCA also wanted to support clients who might not be ready for residential services by offering comprehensive wrap around services through their Outreach team.

The Healing Centre will have secure lockers where those who do not have a home can keep their belongings, as well as providing these individuals with backpacks with supplies they may need in their day-to-day lives.

Karen Hill, Director of the MCA’s Department of Community and Social Services said that the Healing Centre was envisioned to address a serious issue in the community, and that as it prepares to open its doors, it already has a waiting list long enough to see all of its rooms filled on day one. The Healing Centre plans on opening as soon as possible and is just waiting on the approval of permits from the City of Cornwall.

Hill said that she wanted to ensure that the Healing Centre staff were understanding and welcoming to those struggling with addiction or homelessness.

“It is so important to have people who are welcoming,” she said. “I think that a lot of people in that situation feel hopeless and that is something we want to provide for them, hope.”

While the healing Centre is 100 per cent funded by the MCA, Hill stressed that their future success would not be possible without the support of the Cornwall community, for which she was grateful.

In addition to the support they have received

Director of the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne’s Department of Community and Social Services Karen Hill and Outreach Worker Eddie Cajigas in front of the Healing Centre on Second St. in Cornwall. (Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News). from the Care Centre, the Healing Centre has also received support from the City of Cornwall, the Cornwall Police Service and local businesses like grocery stores who have provided donations to their food bank.

The Healing Centre was conceived of earlier this year to respond to problems of homelessness and drug addiction that the MCA identified in the local area. Healing Centre Outreach Worker Eddie Cajigas said that they were actively monitoring and working to support a group of homeless individuals who they were aware and are currently living in tents near the St. Lawrence River in the Cornwall area.

“We will be monitoring this issue and hopefully be proactive in providing a solution,” said Cajigas.

Cajigas explained that the Healing Centre program is not going to pass judgement over the circumstances their clients find themselves in, but rather, give them the support to live a better life.

“Our mindset is that relapsing into old habits isn’t a failure, the failure is in the mindset that things can’t get better,” he said.

While Indigenous clients will be prioritized at the Healing Centre, its services are open to all adults aged 16 and over based on availability.

La troisième étape du déconfinement devancée à vendredi ÉMILIE PELLETIER INITIATIVE DE JOURNALISME LOCAL ONTARIO - Le gouvernement ontarien du premier ministre Doug Ford permettra la réouverture des salles à manger des restaurants ainsi que des salles de gym à compter du 16 juillet.

Les Ontariens pourront donc s’entraîner et manger à l’intérieur des restaurants dès vendredi prochain, plutôt que le 21 juillet, date initialement prévue dans le cadre de la troisième étape du plan de déconfinement de la province.

C’est grâce à «l’amélioration constante des principaux indicateurs clés de santé publique et des soins de santé ainsi que du taux de vaccination à l’échelle de la province qui surpasse maintenant les cibles établies dans le Plan d’action pour le déconfinement» que la province se permet cette levée des restrictions, estime le gouvernement Ford dans un communiqué émis vendredi matin Pour pouvoir entamer cette troisième étape, 70 à 80% des adultes de la province devaient avoir reçu une première dose du vaccin et 25% d’entre eux devaient avoir reçu deux doses.

En date du 8 juillet, plus de 77% de la

population ontarienne âgée de 12 ans et plus avait reçu une dose d’un vaccin contre la COVID-19 et plus de 50% de la population avait reçu sa deuxième dose.

Ce qui sera permis -Rassemblements intérieurs jusqu’à 25 personnes -Rassemblements extérieurs jusqu’à 100 personnes -Aucune limite quant au nombre de clients par table dans les restaurants -Les restaurants et bars, y compris les boîtes de nuit et les restos-bars, à 25 pour cent de leur capacité à l’intérieur.

-Services de soins personnels, y compris ceux qui nécessitent le retrait du masque -Les musées, aquariums, zoos, attractions, jardins botaniques, centres des sciences, casinos, salles de bingo, parcs d’attractions, foires et expositions rurales, festivals, à 50% de leur capacité à l’intérieur et à 75% de leur capacité à l’extérieur -Les cinémas, salles de concert, théâtres et autres installations scéniques L’Ontario a fait état, vendredi, de 183 cas de COVID-19 répertoriés la veille, portant le bilan total de la province à 546 804 infections depuis le début de la pandémie.

On compte neuf nouveaux décès causés par le virus.

En tout, 9237 Ontariens ont perdu la vie en raison de la COVID-19.

Jeudi, 189 personnes atteintes de la maladie contagieuse étaient hospitalisées, et 202 étaient aux soins intensifs en raison de symptômes graves de la COVID-19.

Les autorités sanitaires ont recensé plus de 152 000 cas confirmés de variants

préoccupants de la COVID-19, dont 2459 cas du variant Delta.

En tout, 16,6 millions de doses des vaccins contre la COVID-19 ont été administrées en Ontario.

On compte désormais plus de la moitié de la population adulte ayant reçu deux doses.

L’Ontario compte 32% de sa population totale n’ayant pas encore été vaccinée.

Des millions de personnes en Ontario ont reçu le vaccin contre la COVID-19.

Les vaccins approuvés par Santé Canada sont administrés dans des hôpitaux, des cabinets de médecin, des pharmacies et des centres de vaccination de masse.

Et chaque dose administrée est un pas de plus vers la vie que nous avions avant.

On Monday night Glen Grant was sworn in as the new Mayor of Cornwall. He has years of experience on Council behind him, a competent administration to support him, and active and engaged colleagues around the council table to both offer their support and differing views when necessary.

It is a good thing that Grant has these advantages going into his new job, because while his term as Mayor may be short, it will no doubt be eventful and challenging.

During Thursday night’s Special Meeting of Council where Grant was appointed to the top job by a vote of Council 6-to-2. Councillor Elaine MacDonald held up the City of Cornwall’s Strategic Plan and said Cornwall had nothing to fear of a change of course because this Council and this Mayor would continued to be guided by the goals set out in that document.

I believe that Elaine is correct, that the 2019-2022 Strategic Plan lays out achievable goals that the city should strive for, and that Council will more or less follow it. I feel however that such a rigid commitment to this document could be a detriment for the city.

Look at the years this Strategic Plan covers, 2019-2022. This plan was devised and agreed upon prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, and I am sure that all members of Council and Administration will say that much has changed since the start of the pandemic and that includes municipal priorities.

Right now, today, the City of Cornwall is facing some serious challenges that have been brought on by the pandemic. While infection rates are down, and vaccination rates are up, there are still significant issues that the city will have to face long after this virus is behind us.

The most pressing issue is housing. Rental rates in the city are climbing as are housing prices as the market remains hot. Over the past three weeks, I have talked to several residents of Cornwall who are either facing homelessness or already are homeless.

Housing is included as one of the five pillars of Council’s Strategic Plan, but its bullet points hardly goes far enough to address this issue that is becoming more and more urgent.

The 2019-2022 Strategic Plan calls for three things to be done to address the issue of housing in Cornwall. 1. Form a task force. 2. Create rental licensing registry to enable a database and adherence to applicable by-laws and standards. 3. Look at options to increase enforcement of property standards, building & fire codes.

Not one of these above points will do anything for a person who is currently homeless in the City of Cornwall.

The housing task force was created earlier this year and was chaired by former Mayor Bernadette Clement. I hope that Mayor Grant will also chair this important task force so that this issue receives his full attention.

That being said, more needs to be done now. Our neighbours in the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne (MCA) are moving on this issue quickly and the city of Cornwall needs to keep up with them. The MCA is preparing to open a Healing Centre at the former Cornwall General Hospital. This site will be open to the homeless and will have 11 rooms. It also will provide lockers and backpacks to those who are living on the street. They will be open as soon as they receive approval of permits from the City of Cornwall, which I hope are getting the attention that they are due.

Cornwall City Council needs to become actively involved on the issue of homelessness now by working with the MCA on their Healing Centre project, and also through offering their own support programs for residents in the city.

Rent prices are rising and I have heard from more than one person that this is quickly leading to tough decisions between choosing to pay rent, food, or electricity. Ontario works provides up to $733 a month for basic needs including shelter. A quick search on Kijiji will show single rooms for rent from between $600 to as much as $1,000 or more.

Senior care is suffering

Dear Editor, I’m writing to you this concerning the care seniors are getting at home. My husband is palliative and needs morning care. He is a big man and does a lot of sweating so he needs a shower and get up and dressed in mornings but he does not fit their criteria the afternoons.

It is no good. He is to tired and there is a chance he will get hurt and the PSW mentioned this to the office, but it falls on deaf ears. They say there is no reason to send anyone in the afternoon because he does not want any one then.

We would like to change agencies but was told our reason was not good enough. Agencies deciding for seniors but all the do is sit behind a desk. No wonder PSWs are saying left and right that they are fed up with the way seniors are being treated. They are supposed to get service, and no one is showing up. Some don’t speak up because they are afraid of loosing their work.

We the seniors are not being informed of matters that concern us, the office makes all the decisions. It’s like we have no brains. We are just a number if money is coming in, we are just a number we as seniors are fed up, we are being treated now the agencies sound like the service we get is good, but it is not. Not knowing what is going to happen next what the PSW can or can not do. Seniors are prisoners in their own home.

Judy Seguin, Cornwall, Ontario

Housing is out of control Dear Editor, Last Sunday at St John’s Rev Robert Adams preached a sermon entitled “Will There Be Room?”. In the Bible Isaiah preached to King Ahab that things had gone badly astray in the rich and fertile land of Judah. The cries of the oppressed rang out as the rich bought up everything and boasted just how they had prospered. This was not God’s will. It stood in direct contradiction of the Tenth Commandment: One should not covet thy neighbour’s wife and steal his property.

Yet this is exactly what is happening in Canada today. Recent articles in the Globe & Mail tell us that the price of a house is beyond the reach of young families; that over twenty percent of housing purchases in the last 18 months are by investors converting them into multi-unit rentals for the profit of a few; and gives guidance to our children how to move to the USA where housing is much more affordable. This is wrong.

We must learn from history. We elect leaders to lead in this complex world. When they come begging for your vote in the next election, how can they honestly say that they support the Middle Class when the Middle Class can no longer afford to own a home. All of us must write to those with political power demanding an end this form of 21st century feudalism.

Ask each of our Councillors, Mayors, MPPs, MPs, Senators, Ministers and Prime Ministers doing today to resolve this problem?

OPINION

RECORD SAYS NEW MAYOR NOT A BIGOT Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

An attempt by the Coalition for Unity, Respect and Equality for All (CUREA) to block Glen Grant from succeeding Sen. Bernadette Clement as mayor fell flat on its face, as it should have.

Grant, the group charged, is a poor example of leadership when it comes to the diversity file; he was painted as a poor fit to fill the mayoral vacancy left by Clement’s departure.

Based on some weak arguments, he scored a D-minus on the organization’s diversity scorecard.

Council disagreed. Six of the eight councillors charged with making the decision voted to have Grant succeed Clement as mayor until the next council takes the reins in December 2022.

The two councillors who supported Justin Towndale never mentioned the concerns raised by CUREA. In his pitch to his colleagues, Towndale, who could appear on the 2022 mayoral ballot, didn’t suggest Grant was a diversity liability.

So, is Grant a diversity misfit, as claimed by the organization, and should be burned at the proverbial stake?

Let’s take a look at his record when it comes to diversity.

Grant supported and campaigned for Clement in her historic run for mayor. Would somebody who did not support diversity work to elect the city’s first female mayor and Ontario’s first Black female mayor?

Grant was a close friend of Eric Duncan

before he became MP for Stormont-DundasSouth Glengarry. He helped manage Duncan’s federal election campaign. Duncan is openly gay. The MP has no trouble with Grant as mayor.

As chair of the Cornwall Police Service Board, Grant supported the history-making appointment of Shawna Spowart as Cornwall’s first female police chief. She is gay.

Coun. Elaine MacDonald, a former NDP candidate who has championed gay rights and diversity, backed Grant. She made the motion to pass the chain of office to Grant.

The city’s new mayor supports a diversity training session for members of city council and supported the diversity mural at the clock tower in Lamoureux Park and the raising of the Pride flag.

And while she didn’t openly support him, Sen. Clement, in private, has no trouble with Grant succeeding her. If she had a vote, it would have gone to Grant. As mayor, Clement named Grant to the police board and voted to have him named chair.

I rest my case.

IN THE RE-VIEW MIRROR - 1932: When two men pleaded guilty in United Counties court on July 12, 1932 to a cruel assault on a 22-yearold farm hand, the judge and Crown attorney did everything but apologize to the convicted assailants.

The victim was walking along a township road in the Summerstown area at night when he was grabbed by the two men who proceeded to tar and feather him. He required hospital treatment for burns. It was a pre-meditated assault.

Judge J. C. Milligan bestowed a charitable $25 fine, with time to pay, on each assailant.

He acknowledge that under “different” circumstances, the two would have faced heavy peni-

tentiary terms.

The judge referred to a “private meeting” in his chambers prior to the trial that revealed some “peculiar circumstances” in the case that he was not going to make public.

“The less said the better,” the judge told the packed court room.

Crown attorney J. G. Harkness, who had a tough-on-crime reputation, agreed and went one step further with a warning to the victim.

“Your actions in the past have not been commendable,” he said without identifying the “actions.”

In a vague and downright weird announcement, the prosecutor warned the victim, “I have a certain letter you wrote and it might be used against you in the future.”

To say it was a strange day for justice would be an understatement.

ALSO THIS MONTH IN 1932 - The sailing vessel “City of New York” that took explorer Richard Byrd on his epic Antarctic voyage in 1928 attracted large crowds as it passed through Cornwall Canal on its way to Chicago and the Century of Progress Exposition. The ship was towed by a tug. ... Romeo Dumond was recommended for a Royal Humane Society Award after he saved the life of 12-year-old Hector Geoffrion from drowning in Cornwall Canal near Silver Bridge. Dumond, who saw the boy in trouble, jump fully clothed into the water and pulled the youngster to shore then applied artificial respiration. ... An eight-foot cross was set ablaze in Nativity Cemetery.

Police believed it was a prank by youths. It had been wrapped in cloth then doused with gasoline. ... With life expectancy far below what it is today, dying at 92 was front-page news. The Standard-Freeholder reported that John Denny, dead at age 92, was one of the oldest Cornwall Township residents on record. ... Just seconds

after locking up an unruly drunk, Chesterville village police constable David Craig dropped dead of a heart attack. A report said the officer struggled to subdue the young man. ... Munro Service Station, 232 Water St., held its official opening. ... The Cornwall chapter of Sons of Italy held its 19th anniversary picnic at St. Lawrence Park. The evening finished off with a fireworks display staged by Joe Lebano and Son. ... Rose Martin was named winner of the St. Baptiste Society’s 50th anniversary popularity contest. She received a gold watch.

Runner-up was Eva Leroux. A total of 4,500 votes were cast. ... Convicted of operating a still in his Summerstown, a 33-year-old man was given a 30-day sentence when he was unable to come up with the $200 fine.

TRIVIA ANSWER The first house in Cornwall outfitted with double windows (for the winter) was that of Guy C. Wood on First Street West in 1830. In the 1950s, double windows were still quite common.

TRIVIA Several years after Our Citizens of Tomorrow (OCOT) was formed, this organization also geared to working with young people was formed in 1948. Its base of operation was King George Park.

SEEN AND HEARD It took 160 years, but Belleville has its first female fire chief.

Monique Belair comes to the department with 30 years experience in the Canadian Armed Forces. At one time, she was just one of five female Armed Forces firefighters. Cornwall recently broke the proverbial glass ceiling with the hiring of its first female fire fighter. The number is up to five. ... When the National Hockey League 2021-22 schedule comes out, circle the Tampa Bay vs Montreal game at the Bell Centre. After his drunken rant about Les Canadiens and their fans, Lightning star Nikita Kucherov should get a boisterous reception.

LAHAIE & SULLIVAN

Peacefully with her daughter Betty holding her hand, at the Cornwall Community Hospital on Tuesday July 6th, 2021. Joan Buick (née Frame) was born on March 20th, 1930, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the youngest daughter of Matthew and Annie Frame (née McConkey). Beloved wife of the late Stanley Buick. Loving mother of Betty Buick-Cameron (Edward), and the late Billy Buick (Muriel). Dear sister of the late Mae Harris (late John). Loving grandmother to Jason Buick (Lori), Kelly Buick, Brynna Cameron (Gerry), and Raynna Cameron (Predrag). Cherished great-grandmother to Olivia, Jordan, Ewa, Dace, Katie, Logan, Cameron, Dušan, Isidora, Anastasija, and step greatgrandmother to Hayden, Logan, and Cameron.

Joan immigrated to Canada as a young woman with her husband Stan and together they built a beautiful life in Cornwall. They worked hard and raised their family, which was the centre of Joan’s world. They loved dancing up a storm at the Legion, bowling, and camping near and far.

Joan was deeply kind, compassionate, and generous to all. She will be remembered for her fantastic sense of humour and her wonderful smile that could instantly make your day better. She is irreplaceable, loved beyond measure, and will be missed forever.

Joan’s family would like to thank the staff at the Glen Stor Dun Lodge for providing many years of excellent care.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Lahaie & Sullivan Cornwall Funeral Homes West Branch, 20 Seventh Street West (613-932-8482). Cremation has taken place.

Virtual tours share Akwesasne history nseebruch@seawaynews.media

AKWESASNE – The Native North American Traveling College (NNATC) is using technology to share the history of Akwesasne and those who live their with people from around the world.

Through AirBnB NNATC has been able to conduct virtual tours. The tours began in June and run twice a week.

Karonhianonha Francis and Lorna Thomas of the NNATC developed the tours which cover creation stories of the Akwesasronon to modern cultural practices that persist today.

Francis and Thomas say that they have had roughly 50 participants in their tours so far, many of whom have been from Europe and particularly the British Isles.

“When you take our tours you virtually come to Akwesasne and hang out with us,” said Francis. “When you take the tour you just need to come with an open mind.”

The virtual tours also gives the NNATC an

opportunity to share some of the many artifacts that they have in their collection including locally made baskets, cradle boards, and wampum belts.

Tours run on Mondays and Tuesdays. The cost to participate in a tour is $12 and they are advertised to last about one hour, but Francis and Thomas say that the tours often go longer if the audience is engaged and asking questions.

Thomas said that questions they often get from guests concern Indigenous culture and the complicated border of Akwesasne, which spans Ontario, Quebec, and New York state.

Tours can be booked through AirBnB by following this link.

Francis and Thomas say that the NNATC may plan more virtual tours in the future to cover different subjects or themes. In the meantime, the NNATC is preparing to open their in-person museum and gift shop. Learn more about the NNATC by visiting their website. www.nnatc.org

It’s Golf Season

HOW TO GET YOUR KIDS INTO GOLF

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The City of Cornwall Municipal Works Department has posted signs on Sydney St. in the area of Eleventh and Twelfth streets warning of falcon attacks in the area.

The signs were posted at each intersection on either side of Sydney St. The falcons in question are a family of Merlin Falcons. For the past three years, the falcons have been nesting in the City of Cornwall, but usually further to the east, in the area of McConnell Ave. and Ninth St. Municipal Works Manager Shawn O’Brien said that his department had received a couple of calls this month of falcons in the area of Sydney St., which is where they seem to be hanging around this year.

In past years, the falcons have proved to be aggressively defensive of their nesting areas with some Cornwall residents complaining of the falcons dive bombing anyone walking too close to their nests.

Despite the signs, the falcons do seem to

be more or less keeping their distance this year with the Cornwall Police Service (CPS) stating that they have yet to receive any complaints.

Typically, the falcons only remain in Cornwall for a few weeks before migrating further north. O’Brien said that the signs on Sydney St. will remain up until further notice.

3 TIPS FOR GOLFING THIS SEASON

bably best to call it a day.

Finally, while you should prioritize making golf enjoyable for your children, you should also teach them how to behave on the course.

Good golf etiquette for kids involves taking care of the course, respecting other players and having a good attitude.

Last year, it became clear that golf can be safely played during the pandemic if precautions are taken. Indeed, golf courses offer wide-open outdoor spaces where it’s easy for players to remain the appropriate distance apart. Golfers, however, need to be prepared for certain changes. If you plan to hit the links this spring, here are three tips for safely starting the season.

1. STOCK UP ON SUPPLIES: Many courses have removed water-filling stations and beverage carts, so you’ll need to bring your own drinks and snacks. Additionally, make sure to put a bottle of hand sanitizer in your bag.

You’ll also need plenty of balls and tees. It’s best not to borrow from your playing partners.

2. FOREGO THE CART: Walking is the safest option for getting around the course. Plus, playing a round of golf provides the perfect opportunity for you to exercise outdoors, which you may appreciate if you’ve been cooped up in the house all winter.

If you do take a cart, make sure it’s been sanitized. Also, you should only ride alone or with someone who lives in the same house as you.

3. FOLLOW SAFETY REGULATIONS: Familiarize yourself with the updated health and safety protocols for golf courses in your area.

You may be asked to print your own scorecards at home, leave flagsticks in when putting and wear a mask in the clubhouse. Note that regulations may differ between clubs.

Fortunately, none of these changes will detract from the game. Stay safe, and have a great season!

One of the great things about golf is that it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you’ve decided to introduce your children to the sport, here are three things that are likely to help them develop a passion for it.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT CLUBS: Think twice before sawing down an extra set of adult clubs.

While they may be the right length, they’ll be too stiff and heavy. It’s best to get children some junior clubs. When they’re starting, a small set with a couple of woods and a few irons is sufficient. Just make sure they’re light and easy to swing.

DON’T OVER-TEACH: Children should be allowed to find their natural swing. If you provide too many instructions, you risk making things overly complex and discouraging them. When you do offer pointers, it’s best to provide them by showing rather than telling. Most kids find visual instructions easier to understand than verbal ones.

In addition, try to make learning golf fun. A good place to start is by letting your children whack plastic balls in the backyard or taking them to play minigolf.

RELAX THE RULES: Golf has a ton of rules, but it’s best to ease up on them if you’re playing with young children. Give kids plenty of mulligans and allow them to tee up on the fairway. Also, note that 18 holes is too much for most children, and even nine holes may be pushing it. If your kids start to lose interest or get frustrated after five or six holes, it’s pro-

City warns of falcons in area of Sydney Street and Eleventh Street

CONTEXT! Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

Context is important. A bikini at a Caribbean beach or backyard pool is quite appropriate.

However, if the same attire showed up at a funeral service, or an audience with the Pope, the wearer would be ushered out.

Context is also important in speech. The question’s context of who, what, where, when and why are important.

You’d expect the answer to “How far is it from here to there?” to come in a predictable form. Not so when, in 1999, I asked a local in Peawanuck, “How far is it to Winisk?” The answer was, “About

three Jerry cans of gas usually does it.”

Geography and history lesson: Peawanuck is on the Winisk River and is the northernmost community in Ontario. Winisk is an abandoned RCAF base, at the mouth of its namesake river, next to Hudson Bay. During a 1972 bicycle trip in Ireland, my then wife, exhausted, asked “How far is it to Tipperary?” I had to resist breaking out in song with, “It’s a long way to Tipperary, it’s a long way to go…”

In 2005 I was on a bicycle trip stop in Ethelbert Manitoba, the birthplace of my father. Most of the older local residents are more fluent in Ukrainian than in English. I asked one of the elderly gentlemen, “How far is it to Ukraina, that little village down the road?”

He thought for a moment, then said, “It’s about

ten miles to there … (he paused for some contemplative chin-scratching) …but much lots further if you go there by kilometers!”

In 1969 I took the summer off from teaching to heal from a personal loss. Travel heals. In mid-August I was homeward bound. I had just spent a troubled night parked beside the busy railway line between LA and San Francisco.

In the morning, I pulled into a local gas station to get some assistance to find my way. Innocently, I asked the gas attendant, “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?” I immediately realized my unintentional prompt for him to break into Dionne Warwick’s hit of the same year.

A cyclist rarely gets useful travel information from a motorist. If she asks, “How far is it to… ?” (any place), the answer will usually be, “Not far, only ‘bout half an hour or so.” That’s thirty

If that same cyclist asks that same motorist, “What’s the road like?” the answer will be “Good, real good!” What’s ‘good’ to a motorist may not be the same for a cyclist.

If the road in question has six hills with 20% grades, washboard gravel surface and three dogs that are very territorial, that road’s not ‘good, real good!’.

Context can be the country you are in. The Greek waiter asked, “Do you want our really hot sauce on your food?”. Not knowing any Greek (It’s all Greek to me), I vigorously swivelled my head left to right, right to left. I got a generous application of hot sauce. Only later did I find out why.
