Ten CCH staff members placed on unpaid leave for violating vaccine policy NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) has placed 10 staff members on unpaid leave for failing to comply with the hospital’s COVID-19 vaccination policy.

On Aug. 17 Dr. Kieran Moore, Ontario’s Medical Officer of Health directed all hospitals to implement vaccination policies for their staff members. The CCH’s policy that was released on Aug. 27 required that all staff members get their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by Sept. 7, with Oct. 15 being the deadline for their second dose.

Employees who had not received their vaccinations before the Oct. 15 deadline were required to undergo weekly COVID-19 testing.

“From the onset of the pandemic, we made a commitment to our staff, physicians, and community to do everything we can to ensure their safety. To do so we have taken guidance from trusted public health authorities and have received clear direction that vaccination is one of the most effective ways to control the transmission of COVID-19 and to reduce the severity of the illness,” said CCH President and CEO Jeanette Despatie.

The CCH expects that a total of 33 staff members will be placed on unpaid leave after the Oct. 15 deadline. This represents just 2.8 per cent of the CCH’s total 1,151 compliment of employees. In a statement to Seaway News the CCH said that those staff members on unpaid leave could face a loss of employment.

On Wednesday, Oct. 13, the CCH announced that it would be scaling back on providing non-urgent surgeries.

Despatie said that the number of staff members on unpaid leave due to violating the vaccination policy did not factor into the decision to scale back on surgeries.

“With only 10 staff members currently on unpaid leave, yesterday’s announcement that CCH is rolling back non-urgent scheduled surgeries is not due to the mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy and related staffing shortages,” said Despatie.

“With a nearly 98 per cent compliance rate, there will be no staffing related disruptions to patient care and healthcare ser vices. Contingency plans were developed weeks in advance of the policy deadline allowing us to very much accommodate all gaps in our scheduling.”

Of the physicians that the CCH has on staff, 100 per cent are fully vaccinated.

Music: a hobby with many benefits

Hundreds of studies support the idea that listening to music can help improve mood and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression. However, for older adults adjusting to retirement, music can provide many additional benefits. Here’s some ways you can make music a part of your life and the advantages of doing so.

Learn an instrument: Playing a musical instrument is a great way to incorporate music in your life. If you previously played one, consider picking it up again and if you didn’t, it’s never too late to learn. Playing music improves co-ordination, memory and cognition in addition to bolstering self-esteem and confidence.

Take dance classes: Staying active is a crucial part of aging well, so why not take a dance class and enjoy the benefits of music at the same time? Revisiting the popular dances from your youth with your spouse, friends or new acquaintances is the perfect way to stay in shape while enjoying timeless tunes.

Join a choir: You don’t need to learn an instrument to reap the physical and psychological benefits of music. Joining a choir is a great way to stimulate your memory while increasing your confidence. You’ll also

Cornwall Community Hospital to scale back non-urgent surgeries due to COVID strain NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) has announced that it will be scaling back on non-urgent surgeries due to the strain that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is putting on the local healthcare system.

“Both the high prevalence of COVID-19 and low vaccination rates in the community are having a debilitating effect on our hospital and healthcare services. At this time, we must minimize the amount of people in hospital beds for non-urgent reasons so we can continue to provide care and operate on those who need it most,” said Dr. Garry Weinberg, Chief of Surgery at CCH. This means that the CCH will close some operating rooms, and will only be scheduling surgeries for those in life-threatening situations, where life and limb are at risk, or high priority elective surgeries where the surgeon deems it will have a significant impact on quality of life.

Not only is the CCH dealing with a number of COVID-19 patients, they also have a high number of long-term care patients who cannot be transferred to long term care facilities due to ongoing COVID-19 outbreaks.

As of Tuesday, Oct. 12, the CCH had six COVID-19 patients in their Critical Care Unit (CCU). Across the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) region there are 17 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 and there are six longterm care facilities that are experiencing a COVID-19 outbreak, five of which are in Cornwall.

“Local patients in need of surgeries or alternate care are depending on our community to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 has been proven to be effective at lowering the risk of being infected yourself or infecting others. If more people in our community were vaccinated, we’d see less community infections and hospitalizations, and surgeries that patients have already been waiting months for would not have to be further delayed,” said Dr. Weinberg.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Ontario – Kim Lauzon, Parent Council Member for Williamstown Public School (WPS), created a pumpkin collecting initiative, where 240 pumpkins were collected and given to the students at WPS, in order to supply them with an enjoyable experience.

Kim Lauzon started the collection in the second week of October, and quickly she was able to acquire a large amount of pumpkins and supplies to give the students.

The collection accepted the donations of both money and pumpkins. The money raised going towards the purchases of pumpkins for students, as well as all decorations for the pumpkins such as stickers and paint.

In a conversation with Lauzon, she stated that a large number of the pumpkins donated were from local farms, some giving away as many as 20 pumpkins, and that they received a good sum of money raised from members of the community and local parents.

“We received a ton of pumpkins from our local farms, and even received multiple donations of money, even something like 15 dollars really helped towards giving making this happen,” said Lauzon, thankful to all those who showed their support.

Some students have already decorated their pumpkins and it is expected that these pumpkins will continue to be accessorized up until Friday, Oct. 29.

Lauzon explained that since the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of stress must have been placed onto the students, and that this collection will hopefully give the students a chance to relax, as well as give them an opportunity to have a fun festive activity.

“I am extremely excited and thankful for the generosity of friends and the communities’ donations, and with everyone coming together to assist with the pumpkin collection,” said Lauzon.

Showing Proper Respect

along the way.” We need to intentionally engage people with the respect due them. That’s because all people—great and small, near and far, rich and poor, male and female, whatever nationality, race, or religion (or non-religion!), are made in God’s image.

Let’s never forget God loves his creation and Christ died for us all.

We can only imagine how our dealings with people would be transformed if we always stopped to remind ourselves of these crucial truths before we open our mouths to speak. In this age when technology and social media extend far beyond anything Peter could have anticipated or imagined, it also means we have a bigger job to do. What some would never say in person is quite readily posted on social media—with great vigour, verve, and flair!

Showing respect may not come easily. It requires intentionality and practice. Let it begin with you. Try some patience in that long check out line. Make sure you listen well to others before offering your opinion. Try to assume the best, not the worst with others. Pause before you post! With God’s help pursue patience, kindness and gentleness. It will all come back to you!

It’s almost become a cliché to say Canada is living in a post-Christian era. One agency recently published that more than half of Canadians surveyed claim being either agnostic, atheist or unreligious, while just 11% of Canadians report attending a weekly religious service.

This raises the question: How should we behave in a post-Christian era? Many voices are offering perspective on this challenging issue, and we mustn’t forget that Scripture itself speaks to the question. 1 Peter 2:17 is a compact piece of inspired instruction to churches that found themselves, early in their history, on the fringes of society. Realizing that churches here in Canada enjoyed a period when they were more central, we can perhaps now hear with greater appreciation Peter’s Spirit-inspired words. “Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honour the king.” (1 Peter 2:17).

“Show proper respect to everyone” might seem like just a tidbit of a pleasant advice, but showing proper respect doesn’t mean trying to make some kind of artificial connection with an entire population. Peter obviously means, “Show proper to everyone we might encounter, formally or informally,

Far beyond the KISS Principle!

Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

The closest I’ve been to owning a KISS Principle vehicle was a brand new 1962 VW Beetle. It was simple: no power windows, no cruise control, no heated seats, no remote start, no remote door unlock, no air-conditioning… Seven years and many miles later I replaced it with a VW 1600 Squareback. It too followed the KISS Principle.

Both were affordable to buy, good on fuel economy and free of frills.

Unfortunately, some of the hills en route to my trips to California challenged the Beetle’s barely adequate four-cylinder engine: fourth gear, shift down to third, down to second…

The air directed inward by the triangular vent window just provided Arizona in July heat, but no real cooling, especially in gridlock LA traffic jams. Theoretically, it was equipped with a heating and defrosting system, barely adequate only at highway speeds.

Entertainment system was a little transistor radio sitting on the seat beside me. Yes, there was room left for some improvements.

I only have second-hand experience with 2021 automotive technology, as the vehicles I drive are now 14 and 26 years of age – but paid for. Repairs are still costing less than new car payments.

So far, I’ve resisted the siren call of Sirius satellite radio, heated steering wheel, power-adjustable seats, lane alert, parking assist, nagging service advisories, automatic headlight dimmers… The only bells and whistles that I don’t find too offensive are the

ding, ding, ding…reminding my passengers to buckle up and the whistle that reminds me that my window is just a wee bit open.

I’ve been in cars that nag, “The door is ajar!” I’m absolutely sure it’s not a jar. It’s just a door, not a jar. A car door is something much bigger than a jar. A car door has hinges, a lock and a handle. Its only resemblance to a jar is that it has glass as a major component.

The military have a term called ‘Mission Creep’. If the goal is to takeout the enemy’s airfield, don’t go demolish the adjacent city just because you have some bombs left over.

RELIABILITY IS #1 – Affordability, style, As far as automobiles are concerned, auto comfort, economy, ride… take a back seat designers, manufacturers and marketers to reliability. A blown engine in Oklahoma have lost sight of the objective that der sure spoiled my 1969 trip to California!

SDG Counties pass vaccine policy

BY PHILLIP BLANCHER, LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER CORNWALL, Ontario – At a special meeting held October 8, SDG County Council passed its COVID-19 vaccination policy requiring proof of vaccination, or a medical exemption within a week.

The policy, which applies to all employees and volunteers of the county, requires proof of first dose vaccination to be completed by

October 15. Medical and religious exemptions are allowed but are likely to be strict in nature like many other municipal policies.

SDG County developed the policy in conjunction with the six lower-tier municipalities in the county so there was consistency across the local governments.

The move comes as all levels of government including school boards implement vaccination policies for employees.

Written proof of full vaccination (two dose)

of county employees and volunteers must be provided by November 26. Vaccination against COVID-19 is also now considered a requirement for new employees of the municipality.

Employees with only one dose by October 15 must be tested twice per week until the second vaccination is complete.

For those who have valid exemptions, an accommodation plan will be put into place.

Employees who do not follow the county’s

TIME FOR NEW AIRPORT DEAL NICK SEEBRUCH

8 - Wednesday, October 20, 2021

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

Last Monday night, Cornwall City Council voted to terminate their agreement with the Township of South Glengarry to manage the Cornwall Regional Airport.

While I think that the airport is something that this region needs and is an asset, I don’t think that the agreement that existed would ever have seen it reach its full potential.

The former agreement saw the City of Cornwall pay 85 per cent of the airport’s operating budget and capital costs, with South Glengarry paying 15 per cent.

The City and South Glengarry went into this agreement to manage the airport in 1984. Cornwall hasn’t been happy with this arrangement for many years, and I wonder why they decided to enter into this agreement in the first place.

On top of paying only 15 per cent of the costs of the airport, the Township of South Glengarry also gets direct revenue from the property taxes on the airport, which is located in South Glengarry, not Cornwall.

Cornwall Council just didn’t seem to see the direct benefit of having an airport in the region.

City administration itself stated that in its view, the benefit to Cornwall was limited as the airport was mostly used by recreational flyers.

However, I think that the Cornwall Regional Airport serves more than just a niche market and that with some investment, under the right agreement, that it could become the asset that it was always envisioned to be.

As it stands now, the airport is used by the OPP and RCMP for their operations, including prisoner transport. The Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) has also used the airport for doctors to fly in, to transport patients when inclement weather prevents the helicopter from landing at the hospital, and more recently the airport received a delivery of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that was bound for the CCH. Additionally, the airport is actively used to train pilots.

On top of all of this, yes, the airport is used by recreational flyers, which does bring in some money to the local economy.

It has long been known that a major handicap for the airport was its short runway.

This past summer, consulting firm Explorer Solutions presented a 40-year business plan to both South Glengarry and Cornwall City councils. One of the top recommendations of that plan was to extend the Cornwall Regional Airport’s runway by 1,500 ft.

This plan also presented a business model under which the airport would be expected to generate $1 million to $1.7 million over the next 20 years, which could be used to help fund these improvements to the airport and increase its revenue potential.

There were three members of Cornwall City Council who voted against terminating the agreement with the Cornwall Regional Airport, Dean Hollingsworth, Eric Bergeron, and Justin Towndale, all of whom sit on the Cornwall Regional Airport Commission, the governing body of the airport.

While I do agree with the termination of the agreement between the City of Cornwall and South Glengarry, I think the fact that the three members of Cornwall City Council who sit on the commission voted to keep the agreement alive speaks to the viability of the airport.

I think that Hollingsworth, Bergeron, and Towndale believe in the airport project, and as they sit on the commission, I think they have the best view of its potential.

The reason why I am still in favour of seeing the agreement come to an end, is that because I believe that from its ashes something better can be built. Terminating the agreement between Cornwall and South Glengarry was the only way to start new and move forward.

South Glengarry themselves have stated that the agreement needed to be re-worked.

Here’s hoping that the City of Cornwall and the Township of South Glengarry really do come together and create a new agreement that all sides are happy with, and one that helps turn the airport into the revenue generating asset that we want it to be.

TEACHING OUR KIDS ABOUT CONSENT IN THE KNOW WITH SASS DEVIN COUCHMAN

We all know how important consent is, but how early should we be talking about consent with our kids? Do we wait to talk to our kids about it until we have “the sex talk”? Should we be talking about it when our kids go to school, and they must learn how to share? Or should we be discussing consent even earlier than that? The answer may surprise you. Did you know that we can start talking about consent with our kids when they’re 2-3 years old?

By talking about consent early and often, we are teaching our children that consent is important, and as they age, we can introduce age-appropriate situations where consent applies.

You might be thinking “there’s no way that we can talk to our toddlers and young children about consent so that they understand”, but

there is! For young children, consent, body autonomy and boundaries go hand in hand.

When a child understands that it’s up to them to decide who can touch them (i.e., hug them), they realize that they can say no to situations that may make them uncomfortable (e.g., if they don’t want to hug or kiss Aunt Ida). Empowering children at this age to understand that they don’t have to have physical contact with someone when they don’t want to directly relates to physical intimacy when they’re older. And by our children learning that they can have boundaries and these boundaries are accepted by their parents and relatives, they are learning that when they say “no”, that response should be listened to and honoured.

Another important thing to consider when we’re teaching our kids about consent is that we must also teach them about what to do when someone doesn’t honour their consent.

If they say “no” and they are ignored, what should they do and who should they turn to?

For example, if someone tries to touch them and they say no or stop and are ignored, should they leave the situation and find a trusted adult? Empowering our children is this easy and so important.

OPINION

LAST GASP REPENTANCE BY ANTI-VAXXERS Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

There have been plenty of stories about dying anti-vaxxers confined to an ICU death bed repenting and pleading with family and friends to get vaccinated; that they had it all wrong and if they could do it over again would run to a vaccine clinic.

What we haven’t heard of, and we won’t, is an anti-vaxxer in the same dire end-of-life situation saying he or she has no regrets about not getting vaccinated and would do it all over again. * Some have suggested that anti-vaxxers and COVID-19 deniers should be required to sign a waiver: If they are admitted to hospital with COVID-19, they get the bill, if they leave the hospital standing up. Of course, a COVID denier could argue that he can’t have a disease that doesn’t exist. * Then there is the Jesus will find me a parking space and protect me from COVID mindset.

Some evangelical preachers in the U.S. and Canada are feeding the don’t need the vaccine gospel to their flocks. However, according to Scripture, when the disciple Timothy complained about a stomach ailment, he wasn’t told to just have faith and pray. Instead, he was told to treat it (with a little wine). * In the last two years, COVID-19 has killed five times more U.S. law enforcement officers than gun fire. At last count, 740 officers have succumbed to COVID-19 infections and

thousands others recovered after long hospital stays. Yet, many police union bosses have railed against mandatory vaccinations for their members. One union leader claims that the COVID death numbers are being skewered to “encourage” vaccinations. * Of all the people who have been admitted to hospitals in the Eastern Ontario Health Unit region with COVID-19, 73% were not fully vaccinated. And when it comes to patients being so ill they have have to be placed in the intensive care unit, some on ventilators, as of this week not one was fully vaccinated. * There are three groups when it comes to vaccinations: Hard-core anti-vaxxers said to make up three percent of the population but are the most vocal, vaccine-hesitant (aka fence-sitters) and believers.

THIS MONTH IN 1967 – Ontario’s first group foster home for boys aged 12-18 was to be built in Cornwall on a five-acre parcel of land in Eamer’s Corners. To be called Cornwall Youth Residence, it would accommodate 18 boys most of whom would be directed to the residence by the court system. Magistrate P. C. Bergeron called it a “dream come true.” He said few youths sent to training schools by the court system were rehabilitated. ... The president of the Ontario Public School Trustees’ Association told convention delegates meeting in Cornwall that it was time for one school board “free from prejudice and pressure.” The next day the deputy minister of education said schools in the province should operated year-round. ... At age 100, Orrin Wylie of Williamsburg Township was the oldest person in the United Counties to vote in the provincial election. He said he voted the way

he has voted all his life – Conservative. “Why change now?” he told reporters. ... The United Church of Canada joined other Christian churches to oppose a plan by the federal government to allow municipalities to operate lotteries as a way to increase tax revenues. The United Church said lotteries promoted the “insidious philosophy” that citizens could get something for nothing. Lotteries, it said, were harmful to public moral. Nothing was said about church operated bingos, a staple of many Roman Catholic parishes.

Central Public School teacher Don Russell was elected president of the Cornwall Public School Teachers’ Association. The association represented teachers at 10 city public schools. ... General Vanier Secondary School, the city’s newest high school, held a public open house with 6,000 people attending. The $4 million school featured a 600-seat auditorium. ... The provincial government said construction of a new Highway 138 connecting Cornwall and the new freeway linking Ottawa with the Quebec border would begin within three years. ... City council approved construction of a swimming pool at St. Joseph’s Park at a cost of $65,000. Tennis courts were approved for the Athletic Grounds. ... Citizenship court at the United Counties building saw 16 city and area residents receive citizenship certificates. Three of the 16 were from Cornwall. ... Raymond Gatien, 18, of Cornwall was awarded the Clifford Beach Memorial Bursary. He was a second-year honours student at McGill University. Today, he is Dr. Raymond Gatien. ... Larry Murphy of Long Sault was elected president of the St. Lawrence College student council. Paul McLellan was vice-president. ...

Joe Menard was promoted to circulation manager of the Standard-Freeholder. ... Devitt Fuels, in the city since 1938, was sold. It became G. Kaneb Fuels. ... Reduced fares and special fare days were the best city council members could come up with to help Cornwall Street Railway fend off mounting red ink in its transit division.

CSR official Don Seymour told council the steady decrease in transit users, especially among Howard Smith Paper Mill and Courtaulds employees, threatened the system. He said one survey showed just four passengers from each mill using the system.

TRIVIA: What was the first TV show to show a toilet on screen? 1) Leave it to Beaver, 2) Bonanza, 3) All in the Family, 4) Laugh In, 5) I Love Lucy.

TRIVIA ANSWER: The most watched TV show in 1955 was the $64,000 Question. Contestants were selected from the audience. The quiz show was cancelled after it was discovered that producers had rigged it to prevent a female contestant from winning the grand prize.

HERE AND THERE: One of the wackiest ideas to land on the city council table (from a consultant, of course) was submitted for consideration 20 years ago. It proposed making Cornwall Canal navigational for pleasure craft. It involved building a lock at the dyke and extending the canal to the St. Lawrence River. The estimated cost at the time was $20 million. Of course, the swift current between the mainland and Cornwall Island wasn’t considered. ... What’s with these loud car mufflers? ... I’m still trying to wrap my head around the Cornwall Police Board decision to pay for an acting police chief while it still had a chief under contract (to end of December)?

Education Matters I Belong Here…Together we are God’s Good News is the current CDSBEO Board theme and our CDSBEO Special Education Department is working very hard to bring this theme to life through re-engaging students and families. Working from the premise that all learners are different and that their individual needs are different, our staff have been working diligently to ensure that each child is supported and that they have what they need in order to access their curriculum and meet with success. Staff are doing this work by ensuring students feel welcomed, represented and supported, by adapting teaching practices to be learning practices and by combining outdoor education, digital experiences and rich in class face to face learning, thinking and innovating.

In order to best support student well-being, CDSBEO staff were provided with professional development that included such topics as looking at what the data tells us about COVID-19 and Mental Health in a Canadian context, the impact of the pandemic on Ontario families, trauma, linking and resuming – sensory, social, and emotional reconnections, 6 common factors of well-being for good mental health and finally resources to help both students and staff through this transition.

development on how to re-engage students. Through including assessment “for”, “as” and “of” learning, by ensuring student voice is heard, by providing students with choice in what they are learning and how they are demonstrating their learning, when they provide relevant and engaging lessons and when all this happening in a safe welcoming rich learning environment, quality learning takes place.

Through careful planning, reflection, support, enthusiasm, and caring CDSBEO Special Education staff are working hard to ensure that students start to feel safe in our midst once again and thrive in their learning as they continue to have high expectations for all students while ensuring that wellness and belonging are at the center of everything they do.

Todd Lalonde Chair of the CDSBEO

CORNWALL, Ontario – Janet Murray, General Manager and CEO of Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO), presented Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) trustees with the possibility of moving towards a zone approach for school bus cancellations.

The presentation being a follow-up to a motion from trustees in September.

Janet Murray provided trustees with a report on the possibilities, challenges and considerations for a zone-based approach. In stark contrast to the previous district-wide approach that is currently in use, a zonebased model would allow the cancellation of buses in specific zones, opposed to a district wide cancellation, when a single zone is deemed unsafe for transport.

In Janet Murray’s presentation to the trustees, she went in depth into what must be considered if a zone-based cancellation model is to succeed, such as the student and driver safety, and the road maintenance schedules.

“We would really have to look at some of those elements that I have spoken to, and these would have to be considered in exploring the capability of zonal cancellation,” said Murray.

Murray stated in her presentation, the opportunities and risks that would come with the zonal model. The opportunity being the potential for more students to attend school on inclement weather days, may increase safety risks to students and drivers, as well as increasing potential for further constraints to driver coverage, and potential impacts/ constraints to routing.

“I know there’s a lot of things that will need to be changed, but I represent an area that lost several school days in the last three or four years, not COVID-19 related, but in weather related, when there was absolutely no snow or freezing rain in our area,” said Don Cram, UCDSB Trustee for Ward One. “My concern is that we are in an education business of having the kids in school, and that’s where they should be so I really think I would like to see some sort of zonal based cancellation system put in place,” said Cram.

Murray stated multiple times throughout the presentation, that the safety of drivers and students is the main focus when determining when buses run.

The STEO Board of Directors had agreed to perform a zonal cancellation model review by Jan. 31, 2022. If implemented, the new model would not come into effect until the 2022-2023 school year at the earliest.

CORNWALL, Ontario – So far in 2021 the Cornwall Police Service (CPS) has received 10 reports of stolen catalytic converters.

One individual was arrested as a result of one of these reported cases and was charged with Theft Under $5,000 and Mischief Under $5,000.

Last year in 2020, the CPS received just three reports of catalytic converters being stolen from cars, and no arrests were made.

“Members of the public can help protect themselves from this type of theft by parking in a garage or secured area. For those who do not have access to a garage, parking in a well-lit area can help deter a theft from occurring. Security cameras can also be of great assistance to police in identifying the perpetrators involved in these crimes. Finally, members of the public are strongly encouraged to report any suspicious activity to police by calling 613-9322110 ext. 3,” reads a statement from the CPS. The CPS continues to investigate the reported theft of catalytic converters.

CONNOR MCLAUGHLIN SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Gosling Initiative has announced three lucky winners for their Erin Lee book giveaway.

Oct. 3, 2021, the Cornwall Gosling Initiatives third contest came to a close, with their final winners being announced. Three lucky winners were randomly selected by draw to win signed copies of author, Erin Lee’s most recent book, Out of Season.

The winners were Elliot, age seven, Sophia, age eight, and Elise, age nine, who each drew a self-portrait and submitted their drawings through the Gosling Website.

The children met with Lee for a photoshoot

and to get their signed books. Excited to meet an author for the first time, the children were ecstatic. The final winner Elliot even prepared some questions to ask Lee. “It’s not every day a child gets to meet the author of a book they can hold in their hands, and the Cornwall Gosling Initiative is glad we could make it happen,” said Sarah Silman, co-founder of the Goslings Initiative.

Plans have been made by the Gosling Initiative to continue holding contests in the future, with their next big event being a writing challenge.

“We are getting ready for our next endeavour, another writing challenge with more great prizes in the hopes to engage even more children in the area,” said Silman.

The Township of South Stormont, as well as the United Counties of SDG have programs that are designed to provide financial incentives to help with physical improvements to your business, or to assist with planning events that will attract visitors to SDG.

however they cannot be used to fund the same piece of the development project.

The second funding program offered by the United Counties is the Regional Tourism Grant. This program can offer tourism businesses or organizations anywhere from $2500 - $5000 to help existing businesses increase visitation to SDG for special events or attractions.

Each of the programs offered by your local government bodies is a commitment to helping our business community with a Hand Up, not a handout. The Township CIP is currently open for application, while the United Counties programs are expected to re-open early 2022.

Given the struggles of the past 2 years, I want to encourage our businesses to reach out to the Township Economic Development and Communications Coordinator to discuss your project and begin the application process to ensure the most competitive applications are submitted.

Carma Williams elected Warden of SD&G NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – At their meeting on Monday, Oct. 18, The United Counties of SD&G voted to elect Carma Williams, Deputy Mayor of North Glengarry, as Warden for 2022, the final year of the current Council’s term.

“It is an honour that my colleagues around the Council table saw fit to put their trust in me,” said Williams. “The County finds itself well positioned as we enter what I believe is the beginning of the end of the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on our region.

We have seen record development in SDG. It is now Council’s job to capitalize on this momentum and ensure that the County continues to provide programming and services that will benefit all those that call this region their home.”

Williams is only the second woman to hold the position of Warden in the 171-year history of the United Counties of SD&G. The last woman to hold the position was Estella Rose in 2008, who was then Deputy Mayor of North Dundas.

Williams was nominated for the position by North Dundas Mayor Tony Fraser, and her nomination was seconded by South Glengarry Councillor Stephanie Jaworski.

South Stormont Mayor Bryan McGillis was also nominated. Council did not share the vote counts for each candidate, only disclosing who was the winner.

The United Counties of SD&G also recently considered changes to the way that the Warden is elected, but these changes will only come into effect in the 2022-2026 term of Council.

Firstly, the Township of South Stormont has the Community Improvement Program (CIP), which helps businesses with physical improvements to their building and/or landscaping. Things like façade or signage improvements, building renovations, landscaping elements, and planning/building permit fees can all be eligible for up to 50% funding. Currently, the Township CIP is eligible for businesses within specific locations throughout the Township. A review of the program is underway, however, and we expect to have a number of improvements to the program for 2022, including making the entire Township eligible for the program. Stay tuned for more information and how you can provide your input on the review process.

The United Counties also have two programs designed to help our local businesses and community groups. First, is the Regional Incentives Program (RIP), which operates similarly to the Township CIP, funding similar projects. The programs are even eligible to work together to maximize funding availability,

L’HCC réduit le nombre de chirurgies non urgentes en raison de la COVID-19 COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE L’HCC CORNWALL, Ontario - L’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall (HCC) fermera temporairement ses salles d’opération afin de prioriser les chirurgies électives urgentes prioritaires alors que le volume de patients y est de plus en plus élevé en raison de la pandémie de COVID-19.

Les interventions chirurgicales prévues au cours des prochaines semaines auront trait uniquement aux cas de cancer mettant la vie en danger, aux malades en phase critique ou aux autres interventions prioritaires selon l’évaluation de la qualité de vie de la patiente ou du patient par le chirurgien.

Cela permettra à l’établissement de réserver les lits et les ressources disponibles pour les cas urgents et divers besoins en matière de soins de santé qui ne sont pas liés à la COVID-19. « La prévalence élevée de la COVID-19 et les faibles taux de vaccination dans la communauté ont des répercussions sur notre hôpital et les services de soins de santé, a expliqué le chef du Service de chirurgie de l’HCC, le Dr Garry Weinberg. Nous devons limiter au minimum le nombre de gens occupant des lits d’hôpital pour des raisons non urgentes afin de continuer à donner des soins et à opérer les gens qui en ont le plus besoin. »

Actuellement, l’HCC doit faire face à un nombre accru de patients atteints de la COVID-19 qu’il faut hospitaliser puisque la ville de Cornwall a l’un des taux de positivité les plus élevés en Ontario ainsi que l’un des taux de vaccination les plus bas dans la province.

En ce moment, un grand nombre de patients occupent aussi un lit d’hôpital à l’HCC, en attente de soins de longue durée ou d’une place dans d’autres installations résidentielles de groupe, mais on ne peut les transférer de façon sécuritaire dans ces milieux en raison d’éclosions en cours de COVID-19. Ces fournisseurs de soins de santé ont également de la difficulté à accepter les personnes mises en congé par les hôpitaux puisqu’ils doivent composer avec des pénuries de personnel. « Les patientes et les patients de la localité qui ont besoin d’une chirurgie ou d’un autre niveau de soins ont besoin que les gens de notre communauté soient vaccinés contre la COVID-19, a noté le Dr Weinberg. Il a été prouvé que la vaccination complète contre la COVID-19 est efficace pour réduire les risques d’infection, pour soi et les autres. Si plus de gens de notre communauté étaient vaccinés, il y aurait moins d’infections communautaires et d’hospitalisations, tandis qu’il ne serait pas nécessaire de reporter davantage des chirurgies que les gens

Au début de la nouvelle année scolaire, le Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO) a dévoilé sa nouvelle mission et vision qui soutiennent le Plan stratégique « Innovation 2021-2025 ».

Fort de ses valeurs, soit le respect, l’intégrité, la rigueur, l’engagement et l’innovation, le CSDCEO a une vision d’une communauté scolaire saine, altruiste et innovante qui soutient avec bienveillance des élèves engagés à s’entreprendre et à s’épanouir pour développer leurs talents, atteindre leurs aspirations et les réinvestir dans leur collectivité. « Le renouvellement de notre mission et de notre vision nous permettra de mieux orienter notre nouveau Plan stratégique et de donner le ton à nos quatres prochaines années. », de partager M.

Au cours des prochains jours, le personnel téléphonera à l’ensemble des patientes et des patients dont l’intervention chirurgicale prévue sera reportée.

CORNWALL, Ontario - Après de nombreux mois de fermeture et l’arrêt de ses activités, le CCEC est heureux d’annoncer la reprise officielle de son calendrier. À l’occasion du lancement officiel de sa programmation, le CCEC souhaite offrir à la communauté une journée placée sous le signe du partage.

Membres et non-membres sont invités à venir échanger avec les collaborateurs et collaboratrices du Centre au sujet des différentes activités. Une conférence sera également offerte par Mélanie Gatt notre coach de vie, sur le thème de “la reprise d’une vie active après 18 mois de pandémie”.

Une collation dinatoire, des prix de présence et d’autres surprises sont prévues tout au long de cet évènement qui aura lieu de 10 h à 13 h le 22 octobre prochain au gymnase du Centre Charles-Émile-Claude.

Monsieur Roger Frappier, Président du Centre Charles-Émile-Claude partage son engouement : « Je pense que cela fera du bien à tout le monde. Quel plaisir de se revoir ! Lorsqu’on avait repris le bingo après la première vague de la COVID-19, on voyait que

les gens s’étaient ennuyés de la compagnie de leurs pairs, mais on va être capable de reprendre lentement une vie sociale, notamment les activités malgré toutes les directives de l’unité sanitaire que nous devons observer. C’est un retour à un semblant de vie normale.” <@Rb>À propos du Centre Charles-Émile-Claude<@$p> Depuis bientôt 30 ans, le CCEC a pour mission d’offrir aux aîné(e)s francophones de Cornwall et des environs des services axés sur le bien-être, l’éducation, la culture et les loisirs, visant l’élimination de l’isolement, favorisant une meilleure qualité de vie et menant à la prolongation de l’autonomie.

Il offre à ce titre des services d’ordre au maintien de l’autonomie et d’ordre socio-culturel dans leur langue maternelle permettant ainsi aux aîné(e)s de développer des sentiments d’appartenance très forts, ont formé un réseau de bénévoles impressionnant et ont réussi à s’autofinancer sans aucune subvention depuis janvier 1991.

To accommodate your change in plans, a financial professional may recommend certain moves, such as working a couple of years longer or adjusting the amount you eventually withdraw from your RRSPs, RRIPs and other retirement accounts.

The pandemic is, hopefully, just a once-in-alifetime occurrence, but different events can rattle financial markets. And changes in your own life also can affect your plans. To prepare yourself for whatever tomorrow may hold, you may want to get some professional help – but what, really, can you expect from a financial advisor?

A financial advisor will look holistically at your life – your family composition, your career, your hopes and dreams, your instincts about saving and spending money, your risk tolerance and other factors. So, during your initial meeting, and at subsequent reviews afterward, here are some of the key areas you’ll discuss:
