“This is the most disgusting and expensive place I’ve ever visited.” tour of the landfill last week. They spent the morning with me as part of a Take Your Grade 9 to Work Day activity. We started the day at the fire hall, then visited Cornwall Transit, Municipal Works, and Paramedic Services.

They learned a lot during each stop, but I suspect the sights and sounds of the landfill will stay with them for some time.

EMMA MELDRUM Dave Kuhn, the City’s waste management CITY OF CORNWALL supervisor, explained what the students saw The group of five Grade 9 students were as we passed by the clean wood pile, the expressive and inquisitive throughout their wells in the closed sections of the landfill,

IT’S A FACT!

and the fREe Store.

“It’s really free? I can just take stuff from the fREe Store?”

Yes, yes, you can.

I suspect we could have spent more time at the open tipping face – the portion of the landfill that’s currently receiving waste.

It’s impressive in every way – the height of the trash is one thing, but understanding how quickly the trash piles up, and the cost of managing the landfill once it’s full, was a big eye-opener for the Grade 9 students.

We haven’t been able to offer regular tours of the landfill because of COVID-19 restrictions. Plus, it’s tricky to get around the site on foot. We’ve done what we can to make the landfill more accessible through video and interactive mapping, but nothing compares to the sights and sounds of the tipping face.

I hope you ask questions when you have them (wm@cornwall.ca or 613-937-1777) and explore the resources available at www.

There is so much to learn!

Future Climate Leaders continues community climate engagement NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Future Climate Leaders project is continuing its efforts to engage with the residents of Cornwall and the surrounding area on climate related issues.

Currently the Future Climate Leaders project is conducting a survey of local residents to identify their views on climate change and how they might want local governments to react to climate change related issues such as extreme weather events.

The survey hopes to have 2,000 responses

by Nov. 29.

The project is being run by the St. Lawrence River Institute.

“A fundamental question is “what does the community know and what should we, a representation of the leadership of our community know so that governance over policy and potential pathways to success, are considered

through a lens of future sustainability,’” reads a statement from Project Coordinator Lee Theodore.

The Future Climate Leaders project plans on presenting the findings after the Nov. 29 deadline.

In addition to the survey, there are also other initiatives aimed at addressing the issue of climate change.

The Future Climate Leaders are also organizing discussions around the ongoing COP26 climate change conference currently taking place in Glasgow, Scotland. Discussions are held virtually on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings and those interested can sign up by emailing Theodore at ltheodore@riverisntitute.ca Later in November, there will also be three Town Halls aimed at informing participants about what they can do to help fight climate change.

(Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News).

Additionally, the City of Cornwall is undertaking its own initiative to help get youth involved in the climate change discussion with their new Youth Climate Action Working Group, which is currently looking for student volunteers to sit on the committee.

“It’s important to include youth when it comes to making decisions that directly impact

their future. This working group will allow youth to voice their opinions and concerns when it comes to municipal climate change strategies,” said Angie Parker, the City of Cornwall’s Sustainable Projects Coordinator. “What youth wouldn’t want to have a say about their future?

I want them to feel informed and empowered.

Young people deserve this opportunity.”

Podcasts for seniors

Podcasts are a modern form of entertainment similar to radio programs, but you don’t need to tune in at a set time to listen to them. Many seniors who enjoy talk radio have embraced podcasts, which offer a similar experience with far fewer advertisements. Here’s what you need to know about this form of entertainment: Listen to them anywhere: Podcasts are audio or video recordings that you can download or listen to online. You can enjoy them while driving, doing chores or sitting on the couch with a drink. If you want to listen to them in an area without a Wi-Fi connection, you’ll need to download episodes beforehand.

Access them for free: The majority of podcasts are available for free, and you can get them through apps like Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher and Spotify.

Choose any topic: There are podcasts on virtually every topic. Once you enter the world of podcasts, you may

Remembrance Day Reflections This article reprinted from Esprit de Corps Canadian Military Magazine with permission Charles “Duff” Sullivan, the Managing Director of Boeing Canada. Prior to retiring from the Air Force in 2009, Sullivan served at the rank of Major-General on a 12-month tour of duty in Afghanistan as NATO’s Air Component Commander and Deputy Chief of Joint Operations.

4 - Wednesday, November 10, 2021

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

November 1, 2021 - By Charles “Duff” Sullivan As a veteran of the Royal Canadian Air Force, I am reflecting more this year about my time in Afghanistan than I may have in years past. I had the privilege to serve my country in Afghanistan for almost 15 months, most of which was focused on trying to create a safe and more secure country for the Afghan people.

During my time as a member of the senior leadership team in Kabul, I gathered many solemn memories of the soldiers and civilians who were wounded and killed on my watch and the scores of insurgents and terrorists we were required to target and remove from the battlefield to protect coalition soldiers, civilian aid workers, and Afghan civilians. As I came to know, being so close to the loss of human life, regardless of what side of truth one may stand, helps to better understand oneself and to hold tight the values and beliefs that guide us through difficult and challenging times.

Also revealed to me was how a mere 15 months on the ground in Afghanistan can add so many years to one’s life as the transforming nature of command, leadership, and sacrifice acts as a refiner’s fire to inspire insight, knowledge, and wisdom.

I’ve taken so many of those lessons with me in my career outside of our armed forces. Honoring those experiences and those who serve their country is one of the aspects I’m most proud of at my current employer, The Boeing Company.

Boeing has hired more than 13,500 veterans in the last decade alone.

And that focus extends beyond the walls of Boeing and into the global supply chain, with Boeing’s veteran-owned business subcontracting totaling approximately $450 million annually in recent years.

Last year, Boeing awarded more than $14 million to 97 veterans service organizations and supported more than 800 military and veteranspecific programs and organizations globally.

Here in Canada, Boeing is proud to partner with the Veterans Transition Network in both Vancouver and Ottawa, working to strengthen the network of mental health providers serving veterans. This year, I’ve been personally involved in focusing Boeing’s support for Veteran’s House: the Andy Carswell building to further its mission to help homeless or at-risk homeless veterans.

This project is particularly important to me as it provides veterans with holistic support, including rehabilitation and recovery programs to help heal invisible wounds, as well as the visible wounds.

To the families of both those here in Canada and from the 42 nations that made up our ISAF coalition who came to know the pain and heartbreak of war, I can offer my personal assurance that your loved ones who served and made many sacrifices, including the ultimate sacrifice, truly did make a difference that will have a lasting effect in Afghanistan.

The work is now on us, back home, to help those returning to civilian life to find the resources and enrichment needed to enter the next phase of their lives.

Charles S. “Duff” Sullivan is the Managing Director of Boeing Canada. Prior to retiring from the Air Force in 2009, Sullivan served at the rank of Major-General on a 12-month tour of duty in Afghanistan as NATO’s Air Component Commander and Deputy Chief of Joint Operations.

Petty Officer 1st Class (retd) Brian J. Windle SSM/CD1 Petty Officer 1st Class Windle proudly served Queen & country from 1963-89 as a Communications Research/ Signals Intelligence Operator.

Along with his wife, Carole and sons, Patrick and Ryan, he served at various postings at home and abroad and included: HMCS Cornwallis (N.S.); HMCS Gloucester (Ottawa x2); HMCS Inuvik (NWT); HMCS Coverdale (N.B.); CFS Bermuda (BWI); CFS Masset (QCI); CFS Alert (NU) x6; E Sqn CFB Kingston; 770 CommRsch Gander (N.L.); HMCS Algonquin (at sea) and 771 CommRsch Sqn CSE (Ottawa).

GERALD CHARLEBOIS - OLIVER CHARLEBOIS - ANDRE CHARLEBOIS 3 Brothers Overseas - Shawn Runions for my grandfather Andre Charlebois Over one million Canadians served in the Second World War. More than 45,000 gave their lives and another 55,000 were wounded.

Three brothers from Cornwall. Andre, Jerry, and Oliver Charlebois serviced and survived WW2. But they were not destined to come home immediately after V-E Day, May 8th 1945. There was still work to be done.

Andre Charlebois, who had been wounded in Holland, recovered and stayed on with Occupation Force guarding the trains that ran supplies to Berlin.

Gerald Charlebois was stationed in Italy with the Medical Corps. His ship had been torpedoed in the Mediterranean Sea. Jerry was one of the last to leave after providing medical assistance to those unable to go home immediately.

Oliver Charlebois was with the Air Force. After the war he took on the tough job of protecting German war criminals at the Nuremberg Trials.

Today the youngest, Andre Charlebois is the last surviving brother.

At the age of 94 he lives independently at home in Cornwall. He asks that everyone during this pandemic time to remember the sacrifice of those who have died for Canada. Be proud of the military men and women who are representing Canada around the world.

As we approach another Remembrance Day this Thursday, I want to take the time to talk about the ways that the pandemic has affected veterans.

While the pandemic has changed the way that Remembrance Day is recognized, veterans have been more deeply affected in different ways.

Whether they be the few World War II and Korean War veterans that we still have with us, or younger veterans of Canada’s participation in the Afghanistan War, veterans have had to face issues such as mental health struggles and homelessness that have been worsened by the pandemic. I am not a veteran myself but am thankful to all for their service. As a journalist, I do observe issues in our community and many of these issues disproportionately affected veterans.

It is estimated that there are between 3,000 to 5,000 homeless veterans living in Canada. A survey of 61 homeless shelters in different Canadian communities in 2018 showed that 4.4 per cent of

their clientele were veterans. Compare this to the fact that veterans make up an approximate 1.7 per cent of the Canadian population and you can already see that three years ago that veterans were well represented in homeless shelters.

Homelessness is a growing problem in the Cornwall area, one that was invisible until the pandemic pushed it into the light. I am aware that there are veterans in our community who are experiencing homelessness, which just further highlights the need for our municipal, provincial, and federal governments to take action on this issue.

As we’ve covered in this paper, mental health has been a struggle for many during the COVID-19 pandemic, with some calling it the second pandemic. This issue too it would seem disproportionately affects veterans.

A story published last week by CTV News stated that the average case worker at Veterans Affairs Canada was responsible for supporting around 33 veterans.

Many veterans turn to their local Legion branch for support. Until recently, many

local Legions saw their regular activities scaled back due to the pandemic.

Legions are not only often a contact point for veterans to access certain services, they are also some of the only social interaction that some vets have, particularly seniors.

All of these issues do not have an easy answer, but I point them out because as we recognize Remembrance Day, we should all acknowledge that this day is

more about wearing a poppy or attending a ceremony at a local cenotaph.

Remembrance Day means more if we actually take the time to think about veterans, the sacrifices they have made, and the support that they need from us, from our communities, and from our governments.

world but in what happens off to the side and leading up to the conference – how we can all take responsibility. As the saying goes, if we are not part of the solution then we are part of the problem. We all need to take an honest look at how we can be part of the solution.

For guidance on this, one of the most compelling initiatives is YOUTH4CLIMATE:DRIVING AMBITION. (https://ukcop26.org/pre-cop/youth4climate-2021/). This youth conference in Milan, that was a lead-up to COP26, laid out four themes: Youth Driving Ambition; Sustainable Recovery; Non-State Actors’ Engagement; and Climate Conscious Society. Places like Cornwall and area can work with these themes locally.

Youth Driving Ambition: We have schools and colleges where students can be drivers of change – challenging their parents and teachers – asking them face to face what they are doing to address the climate crisis!

Sustainable Recovery: We can learn about interlinkages between nature and

climate change – fight to protect nature, right in our own neighborhoods instead of mowing acres of lawn and clear cutting woodlands to grow biofuels.

Non-State Actors’ Engagement: This is essentially not waiting for governments to solve the problem but to look critically at our daily approach to food, sports, travel, clothing and the arts to see how our carbon footprint contributes to the issue and develop our own personal COP26.

Climate Conscious Society: We can share our stories about how we are helping to solve the crisis. We can also offer proposals for media to improve narratives and communicate the climate emergency.

Call your local radio station or write to your local newspapers.

Also, just a reminder that over the next month the City of Cornwall is asking for your ideas on how you think about climate change. Just 10% of Cornwall’s population would be 4,700 people participating in this survey, so please be part of the solution at: https://haveyoursaycornwall.ca

TRANSITION CORNWALL+ JOHN TOWNDROW

Last week our Transition Cornwall+ group met in person. After months of meeting virtually or not at all it was energizing to be able to meet face to face and see some old friends and new faces after being so long apart.

Our meeting coincided with the leadup to the upcoming Climate Summit called COP26 to be held in Glasgow, starting October 31, so we had a discussion about its relevance to us and to the world.

Opinions varied on the effectiveness of these summits. One view is that they are meaningless, where governments set targets to reduce CO2 and then promptly miss those targets and then go on to set

new targets at the next conference.

Another view is that, over time, they force reluctant countries to fall in line with global efforts – to kind of shame countries into acting more quickly than they otherwise would. Still another view is that groups like Transition Cornwall+ should not spend much time being concerned about international conferences but stay focussed on what can be done at the local level - to work directly on community initiatives that make a difference in our own neighborhoods.

This view is highlighted in the recent Y Magazine (OPPI) which observes that: “Communities in Ontario and the world are coming to terms with the urgency of climate change. It’s a global problem.

Fortunately, it has local causes and local solutions. Solving climate change is essential to maintaining a high quality of life, both at home and in the international context in which we live.”

Perhaps the real value of Climate Summits is not in the public pronouncements that the politicians make to the

and Japan. Howard Smith Paper Mill had 248 employees in the armed services.

Other local industries with employees who joined the war effort included Powdrell and Alexander (30), StandardFreeholder (21), Ives Bedding (17), Dominion Tar and Chemical (16), C-I-L (15), Roy Bingley Steel (14) and Beach Furniture (13). All were guaranteed their jobs when the war ended. * Lieut. Eddie MacDonald, in a letter to the Standard-Freeholder, noted that he had met up with “several Cornwall lads” fighting with the First Canadian Division in Italy. * Gunner Albert Andrews, 31, son of Mr. And Mrs. Charles Andrews of Mille Roches, celebrated his second birthday overseas. He had left his job at Provincial Paper Mill to enlist in the Canadian Army.

He left behind a wife and son. * A Cornwall mother, with five sons serving overseas, opened the door to a chaplain and military officer and asked, “Which one?” * My high school history teacher, Mary Stewart, once told me that she was a young teacher near the end of the war and called it the saddest time of her long career. At assemblies the names of former students who had been killed were read out. At one of the assemblies the name of one of her best students, also an outstanding athlete, was read out. He had been shot down over France. Two days after the assembly she received a letter from him (it took weeks for letters to arrive from England) in which he thanked her for being such a wonderful teacher and he hoped to visit with her when the war finished and he got back to Cornwall. He was just 20. “I cried for two days,” she said.

Tom Brokaw was so right when he coined them the “greatest generation.”

“wartime” houses built on McGregor Avenue by the Wartime Housing Act were ready for occupancy. Another 26 were scheduled to be built. ... Cornwall council approved a 75 cent a day cost of living bonus for municipal employees. ...

Cornwall agreed to extend water service to the Garden City area of Cornwall Township. Health officials said most of the wells in the area north of Ninth Street were contaminated. It was one of the poorest neighbourhoods in United Counties. Some houses still had ground floors. ... The federal government increased monthly old-age payments to $28 from $22. ... With beer rationing set to fall to 24 pints per month from 36, a line two blocks long waited for the beer store to open. ... A dance party at Pearson’s Hall on Sydney Street had free admission for anyone in a military uniform. There was a $5 prize for the winning jitterbug contest duo.

THIS AND THAT Joe Biden had a bad week at the UN climate summit in Glasgow. First he to be nudged back to life after nodding off during the conference then he broke wind while talking to a member of the Royal family. The British tabloids had a field day with that one. ...

Interesting how climate change poster girl Greta Thunberg has yet to show up in Russia, China, India and the Middle East – the world’s major contributors to green house emissions - to lecture their governments on climate change inaction. As someone once said, “Are you f...... crazy!”

In time of war, it’s not only soldiers, sailors and airmen who made sacrifices.

Farmers, factory workers, miners and even children were expected to do their duty.

Based on my readings, watching documentaries and displays at the Canadian War Museum and other historical sites in Canada and Europe and North Africa and listening to addresses given by some of the few surviving combat veterans, I have learned much about sacrifices made by others.

The most vivid personal accounts come from Juliet, my wife, one year my junior.

Being born in Canada, I have virtually no childhood memories of the hardships of my country being at war. However, Juliet could write a book filled with her vivid and touching first-hand experiences in England during WW II: rationing, taking shelter from aerial bombardment, evacuation from home, deprivation from traditional social experiences.

Fast forward to March 18, 2020, our return to Canada from a delightful stay in Portugal. Our aircraft was immediately boarded by personnel wearing hazmat suits, goggles and masks. We were questioned and examined as if we were aliens. Canada, and the rest of the world, was once again at war. This time it wasn’t against the Axis and Japan, but COVID-19.

Once again, we Canadians are getting off relatively lightly. The only ‘hardships’

thrust upon us are: wear a mask, maintain a six-foot distance from those not within our bubble and get a jab.

To my complete disbelief, in my various circles of contacts, ranging from fleeting to regular, I am amazed at those who deny we are at war. They utter nonsense such as, “It’s just the government and big money and Them trying to control us.

Doctors get paid $15,000 for each death they falsely report as being from COVID. The inoculations can change your DNA and put 5G receptors in your body!”

C’mon folks! All you’re being asked to do is cover your nose and mouth, keep 78.740157 inches apart and roll up your sleeve! If you’re good, you’ll even get a lollipop.

People sacrificed, even died, for your freedoms. To honour their memory on Remembrance Day, all you’re being asked

It’s now your turn: wear a mask, keep your distance and get a jab. We’re all in this together. (Photo by Nick Wolochatiuk)

to do to help protect yourself and others is simple: mask up (you probably did it as a kid on Hallowe’en), keep your distance and be unselfish enough to get your shots.

Eventually, with everyone’s help, the war will be over.

As we pause to remember, a look back at November 1943 when the Second War War was raging across Europe and the Pacific.

Taken prisoner during the disastrous, ill-planned Dieppe Raid on Aug. 19, 1942, Lance/Cpl. Gaston Jalbert, son of Mr. And Mrs. Alphonse Jalbert of 7 Prince Arthur St., was part of an exchange of wounded prisoners arranged by the International Red Cross.

Hit by shrapnel from a mortar round during the raid, he suffered a fractured pelvis. He spent 11 months in a German hospital for PoWs before shipped to a PoW camp – Stalag 9C in Germany. He was in a cast for most of his 11 month hospital stay.

Anaesthetic was not available so the operation was carried out with six men holding him down on a table after he was given a pain killer. Other than that, he said the medical treatment was good.

When freed, he was transported to Sweden then England before being put on a ship bound for Halifax. He was reunited with his family at a Montreal military hospital.

During his stay in hospital in Germany, he discovered another PoW patient from Cornwall, Pte. Kenneth Wilson also wounded during the raid. Jalbert said the two had several conversations about the “good, old days in Cornwall.”

The freed PoW had praise for the International Red Cross. He said he wouldn’t have survived without the weekly food parcels provided by the Red Cross. The German hospital food consisted of a few slices of black bread each

day with three pieces of German sausage three times a week.

Unlike prisoners of war held in brutal Japanese prisoner of war camps, the Germans allowed the Red Cross to distribute parcels to allied PoWs and provide medical treatment. * Five months after being told their son, Sgt. Andrew McDonald, was missing after an RCAF bombing operation over Germany, Mr. And Mrs. John McDonald, Silmser Road, were notified by the defence department that he had been declared killed in action. * The day after receiving a letter from her son, Sgt. Glendon (Buddy) MacNeil, Mrs. Alexandria MacNeil of 41 First St. W. was notified that her 19-year-old son had been killed in action just six weeks after arriving overseas where he served as a gunner with the RCAF. In the letter, he told his mother all was fine and not to worry about him. He had enlisted right out of high school. * Before Canada joined the war effort in 1939, the Canadian Army had 4,500 soldiers. In 1943, the strength of the army had reached 460,000, making it one of the largest Allied armies. It would play a key role in the defeat of Germany.

The Canadian Army, that included the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders, was front and centre in chasing the Germans out of Holland, a country that has not forgotten to this day Canada’s role. * The Standard-Freeholder carried a full-page memorial to the 64 Cornwall and area men killed in action. Forty-two were from Cornwall, which at the time was one-square mile with a population of about 13,000. The list would more than double after the D-Day invasion. * Cornwall’s largest employer, Canadian Cottons, had 272 men serving their country in the fight against Germany

Meter Madness?

SHORT & SWEET DICK AUBRY

Cornwall City Council, by the thinnest of margins, I.e. five-to-four voted recently to proceed with water meters. This may be madness, but I’m not 100 per cent sure.

The arguments that follow put me in the

doubtful column.

Capital cost of the meters is $15 million (about $800 per household.) Borrowing costs (interest) is three per cent or $450,000 a year. Because water and sewer is its own self contained unit . . . it has its own revenues and its own costs. Put these together and you have a financial statement. Yet no such statement exists. This is inexcusable. Council should demand such a statement.

The Water Conservation Master Plan has its purpose – TO DEVELOP A PLAN. However, it starts with a conclusion I.e. METERED WATER. It recommends water meters so that other plans can be measured. Really??

LETTERS

TO THE

One of the few arguments for meters is that it will contribute to conservation and is thus a good green policy. What is left unsaid is the fact that the discharge to the St. Lawrence from our sewage treatment plant is of higher water quality than is the input to the FILTRATION Plant from Lake St. Lawrence.

Therefore, reducing the total through put will have a NEGATIVE effect on the St. Lawrence water quality.

a plus-or-minus two-and-a-half per cent accuracy 19 time out of 20.

The City talks about a toilet rebate program I.e. newer toilets use less water. This might be a good policy, but its irrelevant to the meter question. That is to say you can have the toilet rebate plan WITHOUT spending $15 million on meters.

In summary, the City has not demonstrated any significant need for water meters. A touchy, feely, nice warm environmental feeling just doesn’t cut it.

Personal responsibility and personal freedom Dear Editor: So I have a question, and let me preface my question by saying I understand that in a perfect world everyone should have the right to choose, but we don’t live in a perfect world.

Our actions and decisions have an impact on the people around us. We do not live in a vacuum.

Oh yes my question ….. does an individual have the right to make a choice if that choice has the potential to harm others?

First of all, let me tell you my background is medicine. I have been a doctor for 35 years most of it working in the emergency department of Cornwall Community Hospital. If I wanted to work in a hospital and see patients, in fact if I wanted to be licensed in Ontario I was required to have had certain vaccines and tests to protect myself and to ensure the individuals around me were not in danger from me. So I had my TB test and my HIV test and my Hepatitis B and other vaccines and all of this was shared with licensing authorities so that I could maintain the privilege of continuing to practice medicine. I never questioned this as not only did it make sense in order to prevent harm to my patients and coworkers and protect myself but because it was a mandate from our licensing authorities.

Ok, so along comes the coronavirus and all of a sudden, because of the question being raised surrounding the right to choose to be vaccinated or not, something that I accepted as being beyond my control now becomes questionable. If someone has the right to refuse the covid vaccine why wouldn’t I therefore have the right to refuse my Hepatitis B vaccine. Surely it is a lot more difficult to spread Hepatitis B than it is to spread covid.

Hepatitis B is a blood borne virus and is spread by bodily fluids. It is not airborne like the coronavirus.

I understand rights but I also understand responsibilities. As a physician it was my responsibility to get vaccinated against Hepatitis B. How is this different with the

coronavirus? Is it my right to refuse to get vaccinated knowing that if I refuse it could potentially lead to harm of another individual . Since the coronavirus virus unlike Hepatitis B spreads so easily, by refusing the vaccine I could be a danger to the community where i worked.

What if I strongly feel that I should not wear a condom during sex. Wearing a condom is like a vaccine in that not only does a condom protect me but it also protects my sex partner from me. Is it my right not to wear a condom and expose my partner to unwanted pregnancy or disease. You might say doesn’t my partner have a choice whether they choose to sleep with me or not? Definitely they have a choice but what if the circumstances changed slightly and it wasn’t a condom that protected my partner it was a vaccine and my partner did not have a choice whether to sleep with me or not because they were a patient I was looking after in the emergency department or a colleague in the lunch room.

So this is the thing that is troubling me and I am trying to get my head around. As I am now retired and no longer see patients I have a choice whether to get vaccinated or not but isn’t there also an element of responsibility here as well. The studies I have read tell me that if I am unvaccinated I am 10 times more likely to get the virus than if I am vaccinated.

If I am more likely to get the virus it follows that I am also more likely to spread the virus.

I can refuse the vaccine and not protect myself but don’t I have a responsibility to my contacts and community? I have a strong constitution and a healthy immune system and I’m pretty sure if I caught the virus I wouldn’t be in that unlucky 10 percent who get quite ill or die but do I have the choice to say no and put others at risk?

I also know that the virus mutates and could become more dangerous. This is not a conscious effort by the virus to outwit our immune systems. It is a random process. The more people the virus infects the more opportunity the virus has to mutate to something

more dangerous, more infectious and more lethal. It’s like a lottery, the more tickets the more chances to win! Getting the vaccine limits my ability to contract the virus so in effect I am denying the virus a ticket in the lottery.

So again I’m challenged by the idea of my choice to say no to the vaccine or yes to my responsibility to get the vaccine and in this case limit the virus’s ability to mutate.

What about the risks associated with the vaccine itself? It isn’t perfect but I get the science, I know the vaccine is not voodoo or microchips. The vaccine doesn’t scare me.

The vaccine triggers an antibody response and then is gone from my body in a few days.

It doesn’t mess with my DNA or effect my ability to have a family. A lot of the initial questions we had about the vaccine have been answered. We have come a long way over the last year. There have been over 7 billion vaccine doses given in 184 countries worldwide and we now have the knowledge and experience to know the vaccine is safe.

The vaccine has also been shown to be very effective as it gives an element of protection from a virus that has killed over 5 million people worldwide. Experience with the vaccine over the last year has shown that I am much less likely to get a serious case of covid if I have been fully vaccinated.

Since birth we have been vaccinated for other illnesses for several generations. We have been vaccinated against; polio, small pox, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, mumps and measles to name a few. In many jurisdictions these vaccines have been compulsory in order to travel, to go to work or even to go to school.

Is being vaccinated an individual choice or a societal choice? If me being vaccinated protects others isn’t it my responsibility as part of a community to get vaccinated? Maybe our elected leaders should be making the choice saying enough is enough our health systems are overburdened and too many people have died. It’s time everyone is vaccinated.

Whether our leaders make the choice for

us and mandate vaccines or not in the end there are some undeniable facts. First, all our lives since early 2020 have changed dramatically and most of us would say for the worst.

I look forward to the day when I can again walk into a bar or restaurant without having my temperature checked, showing my QR code, or writing down my name and phone number. I look forward to seeing smiling faces not hidden by a mask and I look forward to the day when I can meet a friend and without hesitation give them a healthy hug and avoid that difficult moment trying to decide if I bump elbows or fists. I hate being suspicious and concerned every time someone coughs in public or heaven forbid I have to cough or sneeze myself. I want to be free to travel again feeling safe and not being tested every time I want to cross a border.

I ask myself is there a path to get our lives back to normal? Do we have a choice and more than that do each of us have a responsibility to help get us there? The conclusion for me is an obvious one. I don’t believe in conspiracy theories. I know that 12 months ago there were a lot of unknowns but we have come a long way since the beginning of 2020.

We have learned a lot about the virus, the strategies we have to combat it and the effectiveness of the vaccine. In a perfect world each of us have choices but the world is not perfect and we also have responsibilities. Responsibilities like not drinking and driving, teaching your children to look both ways before crossing the street and yes wearing a condom.

It is all of our responsibility to help eradicate the coronavirus. We cannot stand by and leave it to others. We have a choice not as an individual but as a society and there is only one choice to make. It is the choice to return to a normal life. It is the choice to get vaccinated.

• Your safety needs. Space heaters pose some major safety concerns including an increased risk for carbon monoxide poisoning, burns and fires. In addition, it can be dangerous to use certain heaters around children and pets. To minimize safety risks, look for a heater that has tip-over protection, a grill to prevent burns and heat se­ n­ sors that shut off when the temperature gets too high.

Finally, it’s important to consider your budget. Certain space heaters provide potential energy savings, but they can be costly to install and maintain.

Lente sortie de crise à Cornwall

12 - Le mercredi 10 novembre, 2021

PAR ÉTIENNE LAJOIE, INITIATIVE DE JOURNALISME LOCAL

CORNWALL, Ontario - La ville de Cornwall, dans l’Est ontarien, se remet lentement d’une flambée de cas de COVID-19 qui a forcé la suspension d’opérations chirurgicales non urgentes à son hôpital communautaire, où des patients infectés ont été admis. Au moment où le reste de la province vogue vers un retour à la normale, seize patients atteints de la maladie occupaient la semaine dernière des lits de l’établissement, soit plus que tous les hôpitaux d’Ottawa combinés.

Le faible taux de vaccination est en cause, selon des experts. Une situation qui a poussé tour à tour le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario, dans un communiqué, puis 75 médecins de l’hôpital de Cornwall, dans une lettre, à tirer la sonnette d’alarme. Bien que le taux de vaccination de la région soit supérieur à la moyenne provinciale qui s’élève approximativement à 84 %, dans certains quartiers de Cornwall, seulement 73 % des résidents ont obtenu leurs deux doses.

Sept patients atteints de la COVID-19 recevaient toujours des soins à l’hôpital, le 27 octobre, une diminution par rapport aux dernières semaines, mais un nombre « considérable » pour l’établissement, a noté le médecin en chef, le Dr Lorne Scharf. « Ce n’est pas facile [pour des résidents] de voir comment toutes les pièces du casse-tête s’assemblent », convient le médecin formé à l’Université McGill. « Si vous êtes dans le système de santé comme moi, vous voyez que les

cas de COVID sont plus sérieux chez les personnes non vaccinées, qu’elles passent plus de temps à l’hôpital . De voir tout ça se dérouler comme un accident au ralenti, ça fait mal », laisse-t-il tomber.

Le Dr Scharf souhaitait expliquer à la population, par l’entremise de la lettre qu’il a cosignée, les répercussions d’une telle crise à l’hôpital.

Des patients et leurs proches « attendent en douleur », puisque leurs interventions chirurgicales ont été reportées, lit-on dans la lettre.

Les seuls mots qui y sont soulignés ne laissent aucun doute sur le message clé : « S’il vous plaît, faites votre part et faites-vous vacciner ».

Surtout que « les vaccins utilisés au Canada sont parmi les vaccins les plus étudiés, les plus sécuritaires et les plus efficaces dans l’histoire », indique-t-on.

Marc Bisson peine à expliquer pourquoi certains Cornwalliens refusent la vaccination. Le directeur général du Centre de santé communautaire de l’Estrie, à Cornwall, s’est établi dans la ville il y a 30 ans. Son centre de santé, qui a participé aux efforts de vaccination en appelant des milliers de patients, a « frappé un village gaulois ».

Certains irréductibles l’ont fait tomber de sa chaise. La résistance aux vaccins l’a atteint jusque dans sa ligue de hockey amicale du dimanche matin. Des quelque 23 joueurs dans le groupe, sept ou huit, estime-t-il, ont refusé de se faire vacciner. Le groupe n’a donc pas encore pu retourner sur la glace cette année. Les personnes qui ont refusé le vaccin à Cornwall « n’étaient pas si “vocales” », explique-t-il. « Donc

tu te dis, “ils sortent d’où ?” ».

Des interlocuteurs ont d’ailleurs lancé des messages « extrêmement durs » à l’endroit des réceptionnistes du Centre de santé communautaire de l’Estrie lorsqu’ils ont été contactés au début de l’automne, dans le cadre de la deuxième campagne de sensibilisation à la vaccination du centre. Syd Gardiner, conseiller municipal à Cornwall et président du Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario, concède que la municipalité compte des « antivaccins ». « Ça ne sert à rien de se battre avec eux autres », dit-il.

Manque d’information Marc Bisson et le Dr Lorne Scharf pensent toutefois que le manque de médecins de famille dans la municipalité — un problème à Cornwall antérieur à la pandémie — pourrait avoir un rôle à jouer dans le faible taux de vaccination :

certains résidents n’avaient personne vers qui se tourner pour poser leurs questions. Au milieu de la crise à l’hôpital, un homme s’est rendu directement aux urgences pour avoir une conversation avec Dr Lorne Scharf au sujet de la vaccination. Faute de financement, certaines cliniques médicales ont cessé de voir des patients en personne durant la pandémie, explique Marc Bisson.

Le 20 octobre, le gouvernement ontarien a présenté un plan de réouverture qui s’échelonnera sur plusieurs mois, mais qui vient trop rapidement pour Cornwall, selon Syd Gardiner.

Les exigences relatives à la preuve vaccinale, par exemple, pourraient être levées dès le 17 janvier. « Si je suis quelqu’un qui ne veut pas se faire vacciner, je viens de gagner ma guerre », affirme Marc Bisson.

Kinsmen donate $1,500 to Beyond 21

PROVIDED BY THE KINSMEN CLUB OF CORNWALL

Since 1933, the Cornwall Kinsmen Club has raised funds through a range of activities and invested these funds in order to meet the Community’s Greatest Needs.

Today’s $ 1,500 donation falls under the health and welfare thrust of our strategy.

Beyond 21 partners with adults who have a developmental disability to identify their dreams and empower them to learn the skills and build the connections they need to achieve them! They create and offer uniquely structured programs that are meaningful,

inclusive, and community-based to highlight and maximize each participant’s potential.

They connect participants with the skills and community knowledge they need to succeed in their futures.

The funds provided today will be used for the purchase of exercise equipment for use by the participants (Treadmill).

The Kinsmen Club wishes to thank all our community supporters that make these donations possible. TV Bingo players & merchants, participants at some of our events (Kinsmen Farmers Market, Pizza Party) and our other fundraising events.

CORNWALL, Ontario – On Nov. 2, the Ontario government announced that as of Jan. 1, 2022, the minimum wage would be increased from $14.35 and hour to $15 an hour.

“Ontario’s workers have been the unsung heroes of this pandemic, as they’ve stocked shelves, kept our supply chain moving and helped so many of us enjoy a meal among family and friends at a local restaurant,” said Premier Doug Ford. “When we asked labour leaders what their priorities were, increasing the minimum wage was at the top of the list.

As the cost of living continues to go up, our government is proud to be working for workers, putting more money into their pockets by increasing the minimum wage.”

Greg Pietersma, Executive Director of the Cornwall and Area Chamber of Commerce said that it had no official position on whether this increase was good or bad for local business, but did state that he hoped to see more predictability when the government chooses to make moves like these.

“Our issue is that rather than setting and making the minimum wage rise predictably, it seems to be used more as a political tool rather than a societal tool,” said Pietersma.

Pietersma acknowledged that the minimum wage should reflect the rate of inflation.

According to Statistics Canada, the rate of inflation for 2021 so far is 3.19 per cent.

“I think it would be better to have an annual increase that reflects inflation,” added Pietersma.

Stor mont-Dundas-South Glengar r y Progressive Conservative MPP Jim McDonell was asked by Seaway News why his government chose to raise the minimum wage now, when i 2018 it had cancelled a planned minimum wage increase to $15 an hour that was passed by the Liberal government of Kathleen Wynne.

McDonell explained that at the time, the Conservative government was concerned about the effect a minimum wage increase would have on people who work in minimum wage jobs.

“Studies show when you increase the minimum wage you hurt the workers who are the least skilled because employers will pull back,” he said.

McDonell said that 2021 was a better time to raise the minimum wage because of rising inflation combined with a demand for labour.

He also said that the government had consulted with key stakeholders prior to making the decision.

The government’s announcement of the minimum wage increase comes as all provincial parties prepare for an election which could come as late as June 2, 2022.

Government announces new legislation to address/fix the care for our most vulnerable

3 MINUTES WITH THE MPP

JIM MCDONELL MPP STORMONT-DUNDAS-SOUTH GLENGARRY

14 - Wednesday, November 10, 2021

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

The Government has announced new legislation to address and fix long-term care’s many years of neglect by previous governments. The plan builds on three pillars: staffing and care; accountability, enforcement, and transparency; and building modern, safe, comfortable homes for our seniors. This legislation cements our commitment to invest in more staff, new and upgraded facilities, and improved inspections. These measures will give our most vulnerable the high quality of life and care they deserve.

Supporting the work of local municipalities to serve residents has also been one of the government’s key objectives. Municipalities provide many of the day-to-day services we have come to take for granted, such as good roads and access to multi-functional

recreational facilities. To help them budget for these responsibilities every year, the Government continues to provide stable and predictable funding through the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund. In October local municipal governments were notified they would receive a total of $9,966,700, split eight ways: City of Cornwall, $4,666,100; South Dundas, $1,223,200; South Glengarry, $998,600; North Dundas, $960,700; South Stormont, $933,000; United Counties of Stormont-Dundas-Glengarry, $699,000; North Stormont, $486,100; and North Glengarry $2,095,200.

We made significant progress beating back the COVID-19 fourth wave this month. We have cut the number of cases in half since October 1, with more than 150 cases in the region. Still, the seriousness of the virus remains. I urge anyone without the vaccine, check www.EOHU.ca or call 1-800-267-7120 to find our local vaccination clinics and participating pharmacy locations. The recent progress is allowing the Government to chart a path forward, releasing the Plan to Safely Reopen Ontario and Manage COVID-19 for the Long-Term.

CPS has received 17 conduct complaints so far this year NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Police Services Board received the quarterly report on service and conduct complaints against the Cornwall Police Service (CPS) at their meeting on Thursday, Nov. 4.

So far in 2021, the CPS has received 17 conduct complaints against it and its officers, two more than the previous year’s total.

“Although the numbers are a little higher, I don’t have any concerns at this point,” said Insp. Dave Michaud, who presented the report.

Michaud pointed out that the number of complaints was closer to the annual totals the CPS would receive in years prior to the pandemic, and that the pandemic may have been a factor in seeing a lower than average number of complaints in 2020.

Michaud noted that more reports this year were being sent by the public directly to the

Office of the Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD), the body which investigates complaints against Ontario police officers.

To date, of the 17 complaints filed against the CPS, the OIPRD had screened out 13.

Three were found to be unsubstantiated, and one was resolved through a customer service intervention.

The most common complaint against CPS officers was related to Discreditable Conduct, followed by Excessive Use of Authority and Neglect of Duty.

This quar ter, the Ontario Special Investigations Unit (SIU) was investigating the CPS for two incidents, and had resolved one.

The SIU is an independent body that investigates police interactions with the public in which a death, injury or an allegation of sexual assault has occurred.

There have been a total of four SIU investigations into the CPS so far this year.

Natural gas expansion project for Glendale subdivision announced GLEN WALTER, Ontario – The residents of the Glendale subdivision of South Glengarry will have access to natural gas for their home heating needs by 2025 at the latest.

In an announcement on Monday, Nov. 8, Stormomt-Dundas-South Glengarry MPP Jim McDonell, in partnership with Enbridge and Ontario Minister of Energy Todd Smith announced that the Glendale Subdivision would be included in the latest round of projects that are a part of the province’s Natural Gas Expansion Program.

The province is allocating $2,352,112 to expand natural gas service to approximately South Glengarry 77 homes and businesses.

“Affordable home heating is on the way,” said Minister Smith.

The entire project is being funded through the Natural Gas Expansion Program, which is funded by natural gas users and not by taxpayers.

That being said, new natural gas customers will receive a surcharge of $0.23 per cubic meter, for an average total of about $600 per year for the average customer for 40 years.

It was noted however, that natural gas is a cheaper alternative to home heating, especially when compared to rising propane costs.

“Our government is making good on its promise to deliver affordable energy and expand natural gas pipelines to more communities,” said MPP McDonell. “Access to natural gas will help more families and businesses find energy savings, while promoting economic development and job creation across Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry.”

Deputy Mayor Lyle Warden applauded the announcement.

“Home energy costs are a real thing for our residents,” he said. “Affordable natural gas will help them pay the bills.”

Thanks to North America’s aging population, care attendants are in high demand. Here’s what this re­ warding line of work involves and what type of person is best suited for it.

Do you have what it takes to work in IT?

There’s no shortage of employment opportunities in the field of information technology (IT). However, there’s also lots of com­pe­tition for positions, with numerous can­­di­dates who possess the baseline qualifications. If you’re looking to land a great job in IT, here are some of the qualities that will help you stand out from the crowd.

• Analytical skills. The ability to interpret data effectively and see the big picture is essential to solving the sort of complex problems involved in IT work.

• Communication skills. It’s likely you’ll work in a team setting alongside people who aren’t as tech-savvy as you. To have productive exchanges with co-workers and clients, it’s important to be able to communicate technical concepts in terms any­one can unders-

tand.

• Organizational skills. In the IT field, it’s common to work on several projects at once, and co-workers and clients will depend on you to meet deadlines.

You’ll need to have the ability to prioritize and effectively manage your time.

• Learning skills. The IT field is constantly evolving. To have a successful career in this industry, you need to be willing to update your skills and know­ledge on a continual basis. Moreover, there’s often overlap between the worlds of IT and business, so you may be called on to develop your corporate skills.

1. HAVE A FIXED SCHEDULE To stay focused when working from home, many people benefit from having a fixed schedule that reflects the average nine-to-five work­ day, complete with the standard coffee and lunch break. Having a set schedule also means truly logging off when the workday ends. Let your colleagues know when you’ll be reachable.

3 tips for at-home workers 2. INVEST IN YOUR OFFICE Working from home is much more pleasant and productive when you have a good work setup. Get the furniture and equipment you need to work in comfort. An ergonomic chair and desk are essential, as is good lighting. In addition, now may be the time to invest in that second monitor, those noise-cancelling headphones or that fancy espresso machine.

3. STAY IN TOUCH WITH COLLEAGUES For many people, the lack of face-toface interaction with co-workers and clients is one of the main challenges of working from home. Find ways to stay in touch with your colleagues, whether it’s through videoconferencing, telephone calls, online messaging or the oc­ca­sio­ nal in-person meeting.

The most important thing is to figure out what works best for you, as everyone has their own style of working. Don’t be afraid to try different approaches, and don’t get discouraged if it takes time for you to JOURNALIERS find your groove.DE PRODUCTION

ARIES: Your mind will run wild with ideas. You’ll start all sorts of projects without necessarily fin­ ishing them. You’ll also suggest a number of activ­ ities to your loved ones. At work, a certain task will take longer than expected.

TAURUS: Stress will drain your energy. It’s im­ portant to rest, but you might also need to take steps to adapt your lifestyle for the better. Among other things, you may want to take up a practice of a more spiritual nature.

GEMINI: You’ll enjoy a fairly active social life.

Even if you want some alone time this week, there will always be someone around to break your isolation and put a smile on your face. Let the changes you experience guide rather than hinder you.

CANCER: At work, you’ll be in charge of an im­ portant meeting or an event that brings a lot of people together. You’ll be able to combine work with play, and you can expect a fun atmosphere at the office. You’ll be more efficient in a relaxed en­ vironment.

LEO: You might not have intended to take a ro­ mantic trip with your partner, but you’ll make it happen. Be sure to maintain your focus if you’re taking any kind of training course. At work, take the time to analyze the smallest details.

VIRGO: Your emotions will likely get the best of you. This is a situation where you’ll have to learn to let go, and you may embrace a more spiritual perspective. If you’re part of a couple, you need to make more time for fun.

LIBRA: Since you tend to lack patience with your significant other, it would be a good idea to break up your routine so you can bond while having an exciting adventure together. In your professional life, you’re brave enough to make big changes.

SCORPIO: You’re able to handle any emergency that comes up. This is an ability that will eventually pay off at work. As for your love life, it’s the little things that show how deep your feelings are for one another.

SAGITTARIUS: If there’s some friction in your relationship, you might have a tendency to settle things too quickly. At work or elsewhere, you’ll manage to garner respect in a chaotic situation, which will be a source of pride for you.

CAPRICORN: You’ll need to be patient with a family member. You might be inspired to get out the holiday decorations and give your home a deep clean. The idea of moving could become a real possibility.

AQUARIUS: You’ll need to travel a lot, either for work or personal reasons. You’ll be able to resolve a conflict that’s dragged on for a long time by speaking up. Avoid criticizing your significant other for simply being clumsy.

PISCES: If you’re in a precarious financial situa­ tion, you’ll stumble upon a winning formula to get you out of your predicament. You won’t bite your tongue this week, and speaking up could get you into your boss’ good graces.

At some point in life, most people will have experienced pain as a result of injury, surgery, disease or illness. We say that “most” will experience pain, and not all persons, because there are a small handful of people that are born with the inability to feel pain. Many would think that the inability to feel pain would be great, but often people that are born with the inability to feel pain do not live long. Why? Pain is your body’s danger detection mechanism, it functions much like a home

going to be better managed throughout the healing process.

In short, pain is not simple, it is actually quite complicated. If you are experiencing acute pain, or have been living with chronic pain for years, it is important to understand that pain is a sociological, psychological and physical experience. If you are not coping well with your pain despite having physical interventions (i.e. surgery, medications, massage, etc), you may want to consider addressing the psychological and sociological sides of your pain experience. Physiotherapists and other health care professionals trained in pain management can be tremendously helpful in providing education and guidance so that you can cope and live better with pain. If you have any questions, feel free to email our registered physiotherapist Audrey De Jong at audrey@movetherapeutics.ca.

sociological factors (i.e. support of friends and family, community connection, culture) and psychological factors (i.e. thoughts, beliefs, emotions, anxiety, depression and coping abilities). Imagine, you have fractured your leg and are reliant on a wheelchair to get around. You can assume that you would feel pain quite intensely, considering that your bone is healing. Your pain would likely be easier to cope with if you had a loved one making you meals, had an understanding employer, and had an overall positive belief that with time, patience, and exercise, you will get better. Your pain would likely be more intense and more difficult to cope with if you had no help with meals, an employer that is pushing you to return to work, and an overall negative belief that you would never recover and get back to your regular life. Thinking about these two examples, you can probably guess who’s pain is

security system. Pain tells you when there is real or potential danger to your body.

Much like a home security system will be activated if someone has broken into your house. The pain system will initiate behaviours to keep you safe such as pulling your hand off a hot stove, elevating your ankle after spraining it and resting after a cesarean section to allow the incisions to fully close. Pain keeps you safe, gives your body time to heal, and keeps you out of real or potentially dangerous situations in the future. If you did not feel pain, keeping yourself safe and out of danger would be very challenging!

Pain is created by the brain and there are many moving parts that are intricately woven together to create a painful experience. Pain is not purely a physical experience, meaning that pain is not a direct result of tissue damage, illness, disease, or inflammation. Pain is influenced by

22 - Wednesday, November 10, 2021

I would like to thank the two angels who helped me on Nov. 2 in Cornwall. I had an appointment on Pitt St. at 2pm. As I am from out of town, I was not familiar with the streets, so was unsure of my way. I pulled over on Fifth St., rolled down my window, and a car stopped to see if I needed help. I explained my situation, and they so kindly said “follow us.” They led me directly to the parking lot of my destination. When I told them “I would like to pay you,” they replied “Our pleasure.” To these two good samaritans: I hope you see this, and know how much I appreciated your help in a stressful situation.
