FRONT PAGE STORY

Yi launches new book December 1st NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall doctor and author Melissa Yuan-Innes, pen name Melissa Yi, will be launching her latest book at a virtual event in partnership with the Cornwall Public Library on Dec. 1 at 7:30 p.m.

Titled White Lightning, this latest story follows Dr. Hope Sze as she investigates a Prohibition Era mystery. Featuring gangsters, disappearances and ghosts, her latest novel is being hailed as “a mysterious and moving story that I found entirely compelling on every page,” by Rosamund Small, Dora Awardwinning playwright.

“A masterfully distilled, 180 proof thriller,” said Nathalie Gamache, MD and The Gin*eco*logic artisan distiller, who helped lend Yi inspiration for the book.

“Nathalie Gamache, an artisan distiller in Vancouver, offered to make a custom gin for my main character, Hope Sze. I started researching gin and murder and soon found myself knee-deep in Al Capone and Prohibition. I visited la Maison de Bootlegger in Charlevoix, Quebec, and found evidence of bootleggers in the 1000 Islands, the St. Lawrence River, and Nova Scotia. But since three quarters of banned alcohol flowed from Windsor to Detroit, I sent Hope to a fictional bootlegger inn in Windsor,” said Yi. Yi explained that White Lightning has taken her a year to write and saw her dive deeply into research not just around prohibition, but

also anthropology, archaeology and more.

“I started online courses in forensic anthropology and archaeology,” Yi explained. “When I was in Nova Scotia this summer, I visited the Age of Sail Museum, because the south shore was a battleground between the Temperance Movement and the rumrunners, which was what they called illegally transporting alcohol across water. La Maison de Bootlegger is one of the last Prohibition buildings left standing in Quebec; cities like Montreal destroyed the old architecture. I even wrote part of White Lightning as a play in a playwriting course at George Brown College. And I asked my emergency medicine colleagues across Canada and the US for tips on modern-day murder and resuscitation.

Between the research and the pandemic, I’m starting to explain why I couldn’t write it any faster!”

White Lightning is the ninth installment in the Hope Sze series, which follows Hope as she completes her medical residency in Montreal, but seems to run into murder and mystery at every turn.

Currently, Yi is over 22,000 words into writing her next book, and while she is unsure what the final product will be, she is currently exploring the world of forensic psychology.

Royal LePage peanut butter challenge NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The annual Royal LePage peanut butter challenge is on now.

Every year, Royal LePage Performance Realty in Cornwall collects jars of peanut butter for the Agapè Centre food bank.

The last 20 months have seen some unprecedented changes. We’ve never lived through an epidemic like COVID-19 before. Fear has been too common and you’re likely wrestling with it too.

At times like this, we need to hang on to truths that don’t change. Here are five facts to hang onto when the water gets choppy in a pandemic: 1. Not everything you hear is true. Not everyone with an opinion on the Internet, television, and social media knows what they’re talking about. You need to be discerning who you listen to.

The Bible says in Proverbs 13:16, “The prudent person always acts out of knowledge”. Try to act out of knowledge and not fear. Make it a priority to get your facts from people who are credible and trustworthy.

2. This will pass. The Bible tells us in 1 Peter 4:12 says, “Dear friends, don’t be surprised or shocked that you are going through testing.” These are tough times, but they won’t last forever.

We need to do what the health professionals recommend. We need to maintain common sense actions that will decrease the spread of this virus. This will pass!

3. Focus on what’s unchanging not what is changing. There have been some changes to our world and community. More change may still come

www.firstbaptistcornwall.ca

but be flexible, remember what hasn’t changed. The Bible says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). You can count on this truth. God’s love for you and your community has never changed.

4. God will go through it with you. This virus didn’t surprise God. He has been walking through every bit of it with us. You may feel alone at times, but we will never be alone.

Isaiah 43:2 reads “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.” Focus on this truth and not all the noise on the TV and Internet right now.

5. This is not the end of the story. The Bible says, “In times of trouble, God is with us, and when we are knocked down, we get up again . . . because we know that God raised the Lord Jesus to life” (2 Corinthians 4:8, 14). We don’t always know what the future holds, but we do know who holds it.

Remember, this virus didn’t sneak up on God and it won’t stop him. Jesus himself reminds us that “all the powers of hell will not conquer” the church (Matthew 16:18).

Rest in these truths!

First Baptist Church in Cornwall organizing shoebox campaign NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The First Baptist Church in Cornwall is organizing the annual Operation Christmas Child shoebox campaign effort.

The public is invited to pack shoeboxes with toys, school supplies, hygiene items, personal notes and photos for children to receive at Christmas around the world.

Drop offs will be accepted at 310 York St. at the following dates and times: November 15-19, 9:00am – noon & 5:00pm – 7:00pm November 20 10:00am – 2:00pm November 21 9:00am – noon

“We know what the pandemic has done to our country; now consider children around the world,” said Randy Crosson, director of Operation Christmas Child. “Simple gifts, offered with God’s love, can change lives forever. Please be part of the journey young ones will experience starting the day they receive your gift.”

Operation Christmas Child is an annual initiative organized by the Samaritan’s Purse international Christian relief organization.

Last year, Canadians filled over 373,000 shoeboxes that were delivered to children in need in West Africa and Central America.

Over 187 million shoeboxes have been delivered since 1993.

Cornwall Remembers NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The City of Cornwall held their traditional Remembrance Day ceremony at the Cenotaph on Nov. 11.

Ceremonies began shortly before 11 a.m. with the marching in of the colours, followed by the playing of the last post, and a moment of silence.

Father Kevin Maloney of St. Frances de Sales Church shared a brief prayer in both French and English.

“On this day of Remembrance, let us also remember to pray for peace,” he said.

Cornwall Legion Branch 297 First Vice President Dona McNish reminded those gathered at the Cenotaph that this year marked the 100th anniversary of the introduction of the poppy as a symbol of remembrance.

“It reminds everyone of the sacrifice our veterans made for our peace and freedom,” she said.

Cornwall Legion Branch 297 Poppy Campaign Chair Kerry Patterson then recited the poem In Flanders Fields written by Canadian Col. John MacRae, who served on the Western Front during World War I. Wreaths were then laid by local dignitaries

Local organizations and other veteran representatives such as Canadian Forces School of Aerospace Control Operations (CFSACO), the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Cornwall Legion Women’s Auxiliaries, Richard Vinet on behalf of Canadian Vietnam War Veterans, and others.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, there was no parade this year, and despite the restrictions, there was still a sizeable crowd of over 100 people who viewed the ceremony from the street outside of the grounds of the cenotaph.

Meeting men’s mental health needs

NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The COVID-19 pandemic has placed a mental strain on nearly everyone. It has exacerbated feelings of stress and isolation. Mencan feel as though they are struggling alone, when it comes to their mental health.

There is a group in Cornwall dedicated to help men break their isolation and deal with their issues in a confidential, supportive, and non-judgemental way.

The group often has weekly themes, such as what it means to express love or to receive love. It is a space where men can share their insights, personal experiences, and listen and learn from each other.

The Men’s Mental Health Group has met weekly, while their sessions have sometimes been virtual due to the pandemic, they have also met in person. The group has been around for two-and-a-half years.

Ivan Labelle of the Centre de santé Communautaire de l’Estrie and men’s mental

health advocate Stephen Douris have been acting as facilitators for the group and feel that the participants have found strength in each other.

“One of the things we found is that no matter what you’ve brought to the table, someone has already been through it,” Douris said.

In this way, the men who meet help each other through difficult times.

Labelle remarked that over the past two and a half years, around 50 different men have participated in the group, with some being there since the beginning, some leaving and later returning.

On average, they have about 10 men who regularly participate.

Whether their issues be related to their relationships with others, past trauma, or struggles with mental illness, the Men’s Mental Health Group allows their members to talk about their problems in a private way and receive support.

South Stormont Council receives presentation on 676 acre logistics hub NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

LONG SAULT, Ontario – At their meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 10, South Stormont Township Council received a presentation from Camino, a joint venture between Avenue 31, and Canadian Rail and Equipment Works Inc. on their plan to build a 676 acre logistics hub just north of the village of Long Sault.

The hub will be located between Hwy. 401 to its north and the CN rail line to its south and between Moulinette and Avonmore roads, with planned access points on either road.

Goals that Camino laid out to Council for the project included job creation for the region, as well as addressing climate change and supply chain issues by creating efficiencies with this new hub in Long Sault.

“We see Long Sault and see the municipality of South Stormont located on a transportation super highway,” said Camino’s representative who was only identified as Paul.

Paul also pointed to Long Sault and South Stormont as being well situated in terms of access to the U.S. market.

“We are also blessed by a number of international border crossings with the United States in this area,” he said. “What we really see today, we see Eastern Ontario, we see the United Counties, South Stormont and

Long Sault as really the centre of a very dynamic region.”

Camino has already placed the site in question under contract, and is now in the process of consulting with the municipality and CN Rail before submitting a site plan submission for the first phase of the project.

Once that process is completed, they plan on beginning construction on the first phase of the project, Phase A, by 2023.

Phase A of the project would see the construction of a rail yard on the site. In all the plan for the full development of the site has been divided into five phases that will eventually see multiple warehouse and office structures built, as well as a large area for shipping. Phases will be implemented from Avonmore Rd. in the east, finishing at Moulinette Rd. in the west.

Deputy Mayor Dave Smith put a couple of questions to Camino’s representatives that included concerns about damage to Avonmore Rd. and Moulinette Rd. during the construction. Both roads are under the jurisdiction of the United Counties of SD&G. Camino said that they would be conducting a road impact assessment and will work with the United Counties to ensure that the roads remain in good condition.

Additionally, Camino’s representatives

A comparison of the size of the proposed logistics hub when compared to the village of Long Sault in yellow. stated that much of the truck traffic at first will be confined to Avonmore Rd. and Moulinette Rd. and will for the most part avoid travelling through the village of Long Sault.

The site where Camino is planning on building the logistics hub is currently home to a large forest. Camino stated that they would be working with the local conservation

authority to help ensure the ecological integrity of the region.

Councillor Jennifer MacIsaac asked how many jobs would be created by the first phase of the project. Camino estimates that the rail yard will see 70 new jobs created.

South Stormont residents are being invited to submit their feedback on Camino’s website caminolvs.com

Duncan appointed Conservative Caucus Secretary NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

OTTAWA, Ontario – Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry Conservative MP Eric Duncan has been named to his party’s leadership team as Caucus Secretary.

This is Duncan’s second term in Parliament and once again the Conservatives find themselves serving as the Official Opposition.

In his first term in Parliament, Duncan served as a part of the Conservative Leadership team as Question Period Coordinator.

As Caucus Secretary, Duncan will be responsible for promoting positive relations withing the Conservative Caucus, leading training for members and staff, as well as leading the Caucus’ input on the pending

redraw of federal districts. Duncan will also have a seat at the Conservative leadership table and will have an opportunity to give his input on national issues.

“I am honoured to continue serving on Erin O’Toole’s Leadership Team,” said MP Duncan.

“I have had the chance to work alongside Erin as our leader for the past 14 months and I am ready to get back with him into the House of Commons to tackle the many pressing issues our country is facing. Canadians want us back to work- and we need to hold the Liberals to account for their many failures, particularly Canada’s rising inflation and our slow economic recovery. Erin has appointed a great Shadow Cabinet to do exactly that,” concluded Duncan.

Eric Duncan was re-elected on Sept. 20.

SDG education report identifies rural challenges; calls for reform NICK SEEBRUCH nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The United Counties of SD&G received their much anticipated report on rural education at their meeting on Monday, Nov. 15.

The report is 155 pages including appendicies and was written by Monika Ferenczy, an Education Consultant.

Some of the criticisms of rural education identified in the report include: a lack of available information for the public from school boards, lack of diversity in school board leadership, lack of adequate internet, low

birthrate and declining enrollment, a lack of student voices, parent advocacy being the only way to promote change, limited housing stock in the region and more.

The last item listed in the report as a threat to rural education is particularly critical of school board managers. The report criticizes board managers for perceiving education as a business rather than a public service.

The report did praise rural education as well, for having high quality of life, lower turnover in teaching staff and lower taxes.

The report also cited the influx of people moving to the region due to the COVID-19 pandemic to take advantage of lower housing

costs and the opportunity to work from home and away from big cities.

The report does offer some solutions. For example, Ferenczy suggests that to solve the problem of four school boards competing for one pool of students that the province legislate only two school systems, one for each official language, and to restrict school board advertising.

Ferenczy also proposes that the government draft and adopt a Student Bill of Rights, guaranteeing students the right to access equitable education opportunities in their own community.

In a statement to the media, United

Counties of SD&G Warden Allen Armstrong called on the province to address the concerns raised in the report.

“The current education model has created an uneven playing field for our students,” said Warden Allan Armstrong. “The province must start addressing these concerns to ensure rural students receive the same opportunities as their urban counterparts. In addition to the urban/rural divide, the report also highlights the inequities among the area’s 4 school boards, particularly in the area of funding.”

Camino, a joint venture between Avenue 31, and Canadian Rail and Equipment Works Inc. plans on building a 676-acre logistics hub just north of the village of Long Sault; that’s nearly three-square kilometers. As a size comparison, this logistics hub when completed will be roughly two-thirds the geographic size of Long Sault.

This project presents a lot of opportunities, but, also potential challenges that regional municipalities will have to step up and address to make this project a success.

Opportunity: Efficient logistics Without a doubt, this project is good news for South Stormont. Camino identified Long Sault as a perfect site for a logistics hub due to its proximity to the CN Rail line, Hwy. 401 and the St. Lawrence River. Road, rail, and river. Once the Camino project is completed goods will travel through Long Sault via all three.

Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, North America, like much of the world, has experienced supply chain issues leading to shortages in various items. I’m sure we can all remember at the beginning of the pandemic when you couldn’t find flour on grocery store shelves, or more recently a lack of electronics has led to a shortage of cars on showroom floors. This new logistics hub will make sure that goods reach consumers faster and with greater consistency.

Challenge: Need more workers South Stormont will face some growing pains though. The first of five phases of the project is expected to be completed by 2023 and will see 70 jobs created. The regional job market is already starved for workers and I think that this will be one of the first challenges that the Township will have to address, attracting more people to come and work in logistics in Long Sault.

Opportunity: Budding business opportunities This development will bring construction workers, truck drivers, and warehouse workers to the rural township of South Stormont. Ambitious entrepreneurs will have ample opportunity to tap into this new growing market with new business ventures.

Already one example of this is the Lost Villages Brewery which is going to be establishing itself just around the corner from the new logistics hub. With all of those thirsty workers basically right at their doorstep the prospects for this new brewery are looking bright and are just one example of a potential business whose clientele will be many of these new employees in the logistics industry.

Challenge: Housing An influx of workers to the region will also see housing prices go up in a market that is already white hot, and this is a problem that I think will require a regional approach to solve. I know that Cornwall has an Ad Hoc committee to look into the housing issue in the city, and more people moving to the region to work will just put more pressure on them to produce a solution.

Also, environmental considerations need to be taken into the equation. We shouldn’t just simply build more houses. We should build more houses with the idea of minimizing our carbon footprint, while also creating new communities that are vibrant and pleasant to live in.

Opportunity: Boon to the environment One of Camino’s goals in creating this logistics hub is to help protect the environment. The idea is that by making the supply chain more efficient you’ll see less trucks travelling on the road, and more use of rail, and river to get goods where they need to go. Streamlining the supply chain is not only good for the consumer, but it can also make a real positive impact on the environment as well.

I know that there have been some concerns that this project will cut down some of the Township’s precious canopy cover, but Camino has stated that they are willing to work with the local conservation authority to help protect the ecology of the region.

The Township should hold them to that.

Specialist High Skills Major This week we take a closer look at the Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) program which is a Ministry-approved program that allows students to focus their learning on a specific economic sector while meeting the requirements necessary to graduate from high school. It helps our students in their transition to apprenticeship, college, university, or the workplace. There are five basic requirements of the SHSM program that students must complete to earn the SHSM seal on their diploma. These include a bundle of Grade 11 and Grade 12 credits, sector-recognized certifications and training, an experiential learning activity , a reach ahead opportunity, and a sector partnered experience. The requirements of each SHSM sector are unique; however, the design follows a consistent model across all sectors.

The CDSBEO currently offers 8 types of SHSM programs: Agriculture, Arts and Culture, Business, Construction, Environmen t, Health and Wellness, Hospitality and Tourism, and Transportation. Sectors offered vary by school and range anywhere from two to four programs per school.

Our Specialist High Skills Major leads work extremely hard to provide exciting and engaging activities that help students prepare for the next chapter after high school. The knowledge and skills gained in the SHSM program will allow them to enter the workforce with increased confidence and qualifications. Students in these programs

EDUCATION MATTERS TODD LALONDE

not only benefit from focusing on an area of interest, but they also are able to earn certifications that enhance their employability (ex: First Aid/CPR, Smart Serve, Working at Heights).

For example, in the agriculture program at Holy Trinity students are provided with hands on tasks like planting and harvesting crops, seed germination in the greenhouse, tree planting, and connecting with community partners to supply vegetables to various food programs.

In our Hospitality programs at St. Matthew and St. Joseph’s students learn culinary skills to prepare them for careers in the Hospitality industry. Community partners like Boston Pizza among others provide such rich experiential learning opportunities for our students.

Students who graduate with a SHSM Red seal diploma are well on their way to rewarding careers.

Our students continue to make us so proud as they go out into our community and become our ambassadors!

Johnny cashed out at the civic complex Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

Collegiate Golden Raiders picked the wrong time to end an undefeated season.

It lost 8-0 to St. Lawrence High School Saints in the EOSSA championship game played on a muddy Athletic Grounds field.

Raymond Payette had the game’s lone touchdown to go with a two-pointer. ...

Cornwall native Paul Lapointe scored the game winner as Clarkson Tech edged Laval in a university hockey game at Potsdam. ... McGill University Redmen’s Wally Barrie, a graduate of St. Lawrence High School, was considered the team’s top pro prospect. ... Cornwall Minor Hockey Association launched its season with 1,500 boys registered. Most of the games were played on outdoor rinks at the Athletic Grounds. ... Ben-Hur, which received a record 11 Academy Awards, was on the Capitol Theatre screen. ... Sen. John Kennedy became the first Roman Catholic/youngest president of the United States. ... In a blockbuster deal, Montreal Alouettes traded quarterback Sam Etcheverry and receiver Hal Patterson to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for quarterback Bernie Faloney and Don Paquette.

HERE AND THERE: Dave Hickey, who started his teaching career, a year removed from Grade 13, at Memorial Park Public School (back in the other century) turns 90 on Nov. 19. I was one of his 38 Grade 4 students at Memorial Park. He later became a teacher and principal of Central Public, where he once was a student.

During his career he taught hundreds of kids, some became teachers. Bon anniversaire, Dave. ... There are hockey rivalries and then there was the Canadiens/ Nordiques rivalry. One 1984 playoff game finished with nine game misconducts and a slew of fighting majors. Even the opposing Hunter brothers got into it. .. Cornwall and Cornwall Island continue to be the COVID-19 epicentre in the Eastern Ontario Health Unit region. On Monday, Cornwall

and the northern part of Akwesasne – with about one quarter of the EOHU population - had 43 of the 66 active cases in the EOHU region. The city has the lowest vaccination rate in the region. Gives the antivaxxers cause for a “victory lap”.

THIS AND THAT: The Astroworld Festival death count (10) included a nine-year-old child. Why would anybody take a nine-yearold to a rap concert? ... A StandardFreeholder op ed piece suggested that a uniformed city police officer helping out at a vaccine clinic in a municipal lot near the Montreal Road substation might have driven away folks who need to be vaccinated.

A response when I get a fresh copy to re-read. I, as an old classmate liked to say, reversed quaffed on the original.

TRIVIA ANSWER: Billy Smith had his No. 31 retired by the New York Islanders in 1993, while Doug Gilmour had his No. 93 retired by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2016. The Winnipeg Jets placed Dale Hawerchuk’s No. 10 on its honour roll in 2017. The Jets will be unveiling a statue of the late superstar later this season.

Many of his former teammates and pals are on the invite list. ... Bad news for Arizona Coyotes is that with just one win in 15 games (as of Sunday), they aren’t going to make the playoffs. However, the good news is that they have a heck of a good shot at the first overall draft pick.

TRIVIA: Which baby care product did Proctor and Gamble launch in 1966 that revolutionized baby care?

QUOTED: “There is only one way to kill capitalism – taxes, taxes and more taxes.”

- Karl Marx ONE FINAL THING: Guy opened a meat market. Getting set for Thanksgiving a preacher stopped in to try and persuade the butcher to accept salvation. Said the butcher: “Listen pastor, if I get religion, who’s going to weigh the turkeys?”

Singing legend Johnny Cash left Cornwall on Jan. 27, 1977 with less cash than he had when his tour bus arrived for his soldout show at the new Cornwall Civic Complex.

While the Man in Black and his band were performing a person or persons managed to gain access to to the complex office and open the safe which contained $5,000 belonging to the singer.

The money was turned over to the complex box office staff by the singer for “safe keeping”. It was money his musical troupe used for out-of-pocket travelling expenses.

Police were baffled. There was no sign of forced entry. One theory was that someone had managed to crawl through the duct work from the fourth floor – it would have to be a small person - but that would have required extensive knowledge of the system. Or, did somebody have a key for the office and combination for the safe and made it look as if entry was gained through the duct work?

Investigators were certain the thief, or thieves, left through the office door.

Eventually someone was convicted of conspiracy and given a jail sentence but who pulled off the heist remains a mystery.

There was no shortage of whodunit rumours.

It was just one of several weird incidents at the complex, that included a load of structural steel “disappearing” on a long weekend from a trailer in the rear parking lot. And just as mysterious was how somebody managed to walk off with the restaurant’s cash register on one of its busiest nights.

LOOKING BACK .... 1960 A financial plan announced on Nov. 8, 1960 unlocked the doors to the Cornwall Community Arena (aka Water Street Arena) just in time to save the indoor hockey season. The possibility of the arena being closed had hovered over the city’s lone indoor rink for several weeks. The facility had lost $6,200 the previous fiscal year and was carrying a $10,000 debt. A four-person board was put in place to help solved the building’s financial problems.

City council considered throwing the privately-owned arena a financial lifeline but the ministry of municipal affairs warned against the idea. An Ottawa group had looked at taking over the building – and its debt – but pulled out.

New ice rental rates were set at $16 an hour with a discount for minor hockey.

Donald Lewis was named arena manager.

The city eventually purchased the arena and kept it running for many more years before it was replaced by the Benson Centre and torn down.

ALSO THIS MONTH IN 1960: New teachers at St. Lawrence High School were Seymour Golosky, Frank Parks, Sydna Shores, Rheal Chartrand, Emile Grenier and Graeme Doig. ... Joseph McMahon was valedictorian for the CCVS graduation.

The ceremony saw 162 graduation diplomas handed out with 33 in the Grade 13 program. ... Construction of the new St. Columban’s West school on Augustus Street was wrapping up. It had 15 classrooms and 500 students. ... Sisters of the Congregation of Notre Dame celebrated their 75th anniversary in Cornwall. ...

Businesses on Montreal Road and McConnell Avenue South included the Wagon Wheel Gift Shop, Eastern Hardware, Morin’s Men’s Wear, Jock Dalbec Cycle and Sporting Goods, Morin-Payette Jewellers and Proulx Dry Goods. ... Cornwall

In the beginning of this debacle we all had a choice on the mask right? Then it was mandatory. Then the “VAXX” just like the seasonal flu shot was voluntary right? Then through a series of blackmails and vilifying, it is showing as mandatory was intended from the beginning right?

It went 75%, 80%, 90%, to now 100%, when in the beginning we were told 75% double “VAXXED”, we would have herd immunity, right? Do as I do no debate? In a Democracy people have the right to protest . So why vilify those against passports and mandatory “JABS” to keep their jobs? That seems illegal right? The “UNVAXXED” are labelled carrriers and lepers.” VAXXED” folks can carry too!

Why does our P.M. refer to the “UNVAXXED” as those and them? That is hate speech right? When and “if” this nightmare is done, will there be a reconciliation with them and those? The louder people scream, as in anything, maybe their own guilt in this experiment is blamed on the “UNVAXXED” unjustly? I smell a little Salem in the air! Rather anti, how about pro choice to get the “VAXX” or pro choice to not? Those screaming could be labeled anti choice right? Foot note 20000+ die each year from flu and respritory . Stats Canada, 20/21 27000 people died of covid 19 and no stats on flu interesting.

Kudos To Jason Christof. It’s better to dig deep than to not dig at all! Some questions from one of the great unsanitized. Maybe a dose of reality is the shot we need?

E. Miller, Cornwall Editor’s note: Please consult your local health unit for the most accurrate information about vaccines.

Remembrance Day traffic

Dear Editor, First off let me begin by saying once again Cornwall has shown its heart with the great turn out for this past Nov 11th service at the cenotaph. Both the citizens for showing up and the Legion for its organization. I have to say though there was some disappointment for me this year and I feel someone really dropped the ball in one aspect, traffic. Why was there no stoppage of the traffic for the short amount of time that the ceremony takes? Due to this oversight (?) two things struck me as very wrong this year. Number one, I have pretty good hearing and even at the best of times the sound system used for the ceremony is lacking and it is hard to hear everything said. Especially for those standing at the street. Now imagine those persons who require hearing aids or do not have such devices. Then, for this year, add to that the traffic continuing to drive by throughout the entire service. The second was positioning

Following the science

Dear Editor: The COVID vaccine has divided many friends and families which has created much stress to all concerned.

I’m ok with people not wanting to get the vaccine, this is not a question of freedoms, it’s a question of following the science.

Politians are not always the brightness to lead and there are many examples of these failures.

I find it extremely difficult to understand why people are not getting vaccinated. The science is there and is proven.

The majority of people have chosen to be vaccinated, albeit not full proof, it does and can mitigate the seriously of the disease.

That being said, we are able to enjoy more freedoms still with precautions.

The unvaccinated are restricted through a misconception of conspiracy theories, misinformation, schere stuborness, hate of being ceremony. We could not hear the speakers at to told what to do and they only represent the Dear Editor, I was at the Cenotaph today for all with the noise from the cars and trucks minority: People with medical issues can be Remembrance day and was very upset that passing by. Totally disrespectful to our vets. exempted.

This will always be the case in any society Carol Gaudet, Cornwall, Ontario the traffic was not stopped during the

Remembrance Day

our active serving members behind the trees along the west side! Without the street blocked, why was the best place for them out of sight of the very monument which respects their sacrifices and those of their comrades before them? To me that was worse than the noise and, in my opinion utterly disrespectful in itself. I don’t know whose responsibility it normally is to arrange for the Cornwall Community Police service to block off the roads for that short period of time, but this year they sorely missed the mark and I sincerely hope that next year it is not the new status quo. Everyone deserves to hear the important words and prayers spoken on this day of remembrance and the men and women in uniform definitely deserve to be center stage where they can clearly see and be seen.

Sincerely, D. Doyle (CD) MCpl (Ret’d) A Veteran

and that won’t change. This is witnessed every day around the world.

If you don’t want to be protected that’s Ok, but don’t expect the same freedoms, there is a price to pay.

The medical professions are begging people to get vaccinated. They are tired, worn out, abused, and stressed. Maybe they should all take a month off with pay and let people fend for themselves. We know that won’t happen, they want to save lives.

So you unvaccinated individuals don’t use them as your scapegoats. Chances are they may have already saved your life or received attention to let you live your life. Maybe you received a new heart, kidney, assistance through child birth, or other life saving procedures.

Do not use Remembrance Day or other like events to protest your insecurities, that’s just plain abhorant.

You want more freedoms then do your part so that we can all get back to a semblance of normality.

RONA asks … Is your home WINTER READY? 4 things to consider when choosing a shower

If you need to install a new shower in your bathroom, the dimensions of the area where you’ll place it are a key consideration. Here are several other things to think about when making a purchase decision.

1. Type: There are several kinds of showers to choose from, including: • One-piece showers. They’re watertight and affordable but a little bulky.

• Modular showers. These are suitable for most

bathrooms but difficult to maintain.

• Traditional shower cabins. They’re affordable and compact but utilitarian.

• Tiled showers. They’re beautiful and durable but a little pricey.

• Adapted showers. These are spacious and accessible but difficult to install.

2. Material: When it comes to materials, you can choose from: • ABS plastic. It’s lightweight but difficult to maintain.

• Acrylic. It’s esthetically pleasing but scratches easily.

• Fibreglass. It’s affordable but prone to cracking.

• Polymer. It’s easy to install but not very durable.

• Tempered glass. It’s scratch-resistant but heavy.

It’s up to you to determine your needs and find the best value for your money.

3. Door: When it comes to shower doors, each

type has its pros and cons. Options include: • Sliding doors. They’re space-saving but difficult to clean.

• Pivoting doors. They’re versatile but prone to leaks.

• Swinging doors. They’re roomy but require more maintenance.

It’s important to decide which features are most important to you before making your choice.

4. Accessories: Faucets are available in a variety of styles and materials including chrome, stainless steel and brushed nickel. In addition, when it comes to shower heads, you can opt for a fixed, handheld, high-pressure, rainfall or body jet system.

Dear Editor, Conventional vaccines by definition, means viruses are isolated, I. e. Polio,Dipthirea,and T.B. A piece of this isolate is placed in the vaccine administered and then lifetime protection.MRNA,s do not isolate and it is not now known how many boosters you may or may not need! Maybe that is why they are reffered to as Jab, Shot, and Vaxx. It does alter your DNA though, synthetically . Would you offer up your one year old child to DNA altering? Children for the most part present regular symptoms, just as the regular flu.

With all the testing being done, where is the seasonal flu? The EOHU,s DR. Paul recently said the number of cases in children has dropped since returning to school. If we don’t allow this to pass on then the masks, sanitizing, boosters, and variants will forever remain!

The man who designed the test said it is not accurate! The MRNA Shot does not prevent infection. Don’t vaccines irraticate the virus?

So do the “VAXXINATED” pass on a weakened version of the virus, compared to the “UNVAXXED”? A virus is a virus right? Why after millions of “JABS” have been given, only recently has Health Canada approved them?

Giant human experiment? Covid 19 and the and the supposed variants, with greek alphabet names, have not been isolated. Why the recent name changes to the “ VAXXES”? Like a new car model? Change the name and it will sell? Recently Big Pharma has pattened many new names to roll out an endless array of MRNA “SHOTS” ! Polio did not produce endless variants , after its “VACCINE” rollout.

Who is to say the current virus has not grown stronger, because the MRNA “JAB” does not introduce the virus to the body? Your chances of dying from any flu virus are still slim to none. Does Big Pharma guarantee no deadly reaction or death from the “VAXX”?

In Ontario, November is officially designated as Woman Abuse Prevention Month. Before we dive into what can be done to help eradicate abuse against women, let’s start with some facts. In Canada, at least half of women aged 16 and older have experienced sexual violence at some point in their lives. On average, a woman is murdered by her intimate partner every 6 days. In Ontario alone, 20-30 women are murdered each year.

Abuse against women doesn’t just affect those being abused. It also affects their children.

It affects their school performance, relationships with peers and adults, and increases their risk of participating in high-risk behaviours like substance abuse. It also increases their risk of anxiety and depression. In addition, when a woman is being abused, it has such a significant toll on her life that it can affect her workplace and to some extent the community she lives in.

So, what is being done? Each year, starting on November 25th, which is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we begin 16 days of activism. This year’s theme is “Our Actions Matter”. Each day for the 16 days of Activism, SASS, in cooperation with Maison Baldwin House and ASAP, will be releasing 16 tangible things that you can do to help make our community a safer place for women. To learn more, go on Facebook and search SASS.SDGA to find us.

Here’s an example of one thing that can be done to help prevent woman abuse: educate yourself on the signs of woman abuse. Some of the signs are jealousy or possessiveness, isolation from family and friends, wanting access to your phone/social media accounts, and other controlling behaviours. You may be asking yourself “that’s great but what do I do if I notice this?” check in with the person. Ask if they’re ok or if they need help. Someone may not come out and say that they’re being abused but knowing that you’re there to help can be reassuring that they can come to you when they’re ready. If you know for a fact that someone is being abused and is in danger, call the police.

The cheque was presented by Jason St. Pierre, Lead Installer with Walker, to Debbie

Cornwall launches new parking services CORNWALL, Ontario – The City of Cornwall has announced the introduction of new 24-hour parking permits as well as an overnight parking service at municipally owned lots.

“The new overnight service and 24-hour permits offer a much-needed option for residents and visitors in Cornwall,” said Mark Boileau, General Manager of Planning, Development, and Recreation. “We expect

folks will take advantage of these when winter parking restrictions are in effect, when visiting friends and family in Cornwall, or when taking public transit home after a night out.”

Starting on Monday, Nov. 15 for a $3 fee, users can park their vehicles from 2 a.m. to 9 a.m. at two municipally owned lots. One lot is the Warrington Brown parking lot located behind Kastner’s at 39 First St. E., and the other’s is Freddy’s parking lot located next to the Cornwall Police Service’s East End Station

at 342 Montreal Rd. Also starting on Monday, 24-hour parking permits will become an available option at eight different lots across the city as shown on a map created by the City of Cornwall.

The 24-hour permits cost $50 for a halfmonth, $80 for one month, $200 for three months, $350 for six months, and $650 for one year and can be purchased online.

Also available are day permits that allow parking from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at all 15 municipal parking lots. Day permits cost $30 for a

half-month, $50 for one month, $140 for three months, $270 for six months, and $525 for one year.

These changes are a part of a revamp of the City of Cornwall parking system that was presented to Cornwall City Council on Aug. 9.

More parking changes that the City plans on introducing in the future include more parking stalls in the Cotton Mills area, more pay-by-plate machines, and increasing the hourly parking fee to $1.50.

Cornwall Goslings challenges youth to think of Cornwall’s future NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Goslings Initiative is holding their latest writing challenge.

This challenge for six to 14-year-olds challenges writers to think about Cornwall’s future.

“The topic is Cornwall’s Future 2041, a fictional writing challenge where kids will answer the question; what is our town like in twenty years from now? How have we changed as a community, how have we stayed the same?

How have par ks/ schools/businesses/housing/etc altered in the last two decades? The sky’s the limit for what they want to write about, as long it pertains to the future of our city,” reads a

statement from Cornwall Goslings.

The winners of this contest will win a $50 Chapters gift certificate plus other prizes.

The Goslings Initiative last challenge, which involved local children’s author Erin Lee had 30 entrants, and they are hoping for a similar level of engagement this time.

“One thing I really liked about our last challenge was that it made for a great tool for teachers. We had one reach out to let us know she was using it as a creative writing subject in her class and I received over a dozen essays from her students. That was a lot of fun and really nice to be a part of,” states Sarah Silman of the Cornwall Goslings Initiative.

The current contest runs until Dec. 3. For more information, please visit the Cornwall Goslings Initiative website.

Digital asset tracking FROM THE CORNWALL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL Your local community hospital continues to innovate in the field of healthcare technology!

CCH is now tracking hospital equipment using digital tracking tags.

The tracking tags attached to various pieces of equipment throughout the hospital send GPS signals back to a digital interface of a hospital map.

For phase 1 of this project, tags have been affixed to wireless workstations, vital sign units, IV pumps, feeding pumps, blood pres-

sure units, and bariatric beds.

This will allow CCH to better keep track of where hospital equipment is located and reduces the amount of time staff may spend looking for equipment, in turn helping to improve quality of care and patient satisfaction.

In simpler terms, think of it as wallet trackers being attached to pieces of life-saving equipment in the hospital.

ARIES: You’ll be a chatterbox this week, but luckily there will always be someone around who wants to talk. At work, you’ll expand your clientele considerably, and you might even make some new friends.

TAURUS: You’ll find some money tucked away, perhaps in the pocket of an old ski jacket that you forgot about last year. In your love life, you need to communicate more openly, if only to receive the affection you desire.

GEMINI: You’ll start to plan various events that you need to attend in the near future. If you’re feeling a heavy emotional weight on your shoulders, some self-reflection would probably do you good.

CANCER: Silence can often be worth more than words. You have an extraordinary well of creativity to draw upon. The comfort you feel at home will allow you to create a work of art or open yourself up to a spiritual practice.

LEO: Some friendships don’t deserve your attention, so you may need to clean up your social circle. You’ll take a liking to some of your colleagues as you collaborate on a project and take on a leadership role.

VIRGO: It’s normal to want to celebrate after accomplishing a feat or completing a major project. That’s why you won’t hesitate to join in on any festivities organized by your co-workers or loved ones.

LIBRA: You need to have fun, and procrastination is in the air. Remember that relaxation is necessary at times. Afterward, you’ll be able to move forward with more determination and avoid any kind of delays or distractions.

SCORPIO: If your family is scattered across the country, you’ll start to plan a wonderful holiday tour to visit everyone. Alternatively, you’ll consider going on vacation with your loved ones.

SAGITTARIUS: You’re a master in the art of negotiation. At work or elsewhere, you’ll successfully reach an agreement on the financing for a project. You might find yourself afraid to disappoint those around you.

CAPRICORN: You’ll have a successful week, especially if you work in sales. You’ll see an increase in customers to the point where management will have no choice but to promote you. You’ll also be good at managing the little details.

AQUARIUS: At work, it’s important to have a put-together look so you can present yourself in the best light. Being able to joke around will also be well received by your superiors. In love, passion leads to commitment.

PISCES: You’ll have a few small family matters to take care of. Don’t hesitate to talk openly about them, as silence can increase the risk of miscommunication at home. You may have to work late into the evening this week.

Le CSDCEO célèbre la Semaine nationale de l’immigration francophone COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LA CSDCEO ONTARIO - Les écoles du Conseil scolaire catholique de district de l’Est de l’Ontario (CSDCEO) ont célébré la Semaine nationale de l’immigration francophone (SNIF), qui s’est déroulée du 7 au 13 novembre.

C’est sous le chapeau de la thématique rassembleuse « Une francophonie aux mille saveurs » qu’a lieu la 9e édition de la SNIF. En lien avec la nouvelle planification stratégique du CSDCEO et dans le but de découvrir les mille saveurs culturelles de la francophonie, cette semaine permettra aux élèves d’échanger et d’apprendre à mieux connaître l’autre. De plus, le CSDCEO en profite pour lancer le premier épisode de l’émission « Un pont vers demain » dans le cadre du projet Communauté francophone accueillante de Hawkesbury.

Avec l’appui du Réseau de Soutien à l’Immigration Francophone de l’Est de l’Ontario et en collaboration avec le Centre Culturel le chenail et TVC 22, 8 épisodes « Un pont vers demain » ont été tournés afin de découvrir et célébrer la diversité de familles nouvellement arrivées, issues de la diversité, ainsi que des résidents de longue date, en partageant des traditions et coups de coeur culturels, le tout agrémenté de prestations inspirantes d’artistes. « Les activités de cette semaine permettent aux élèves du CSDCEO de développer des compétences culturelles dans une perspective francophone ouverte sur la

diversité et sur le monde. Nous sommes fiers et fières de collaborer avec nos différents partenaires afin de mener à terme de beaux projets tels les émissions « Un pont vers demain » dans le but de permettre à nos élèves de développer leur identité francophone. », de partager Mme Eugénie Congi, directrice de l’éducation et secrétaire.

Le Conseil scolaire de district catholique

de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO) est en croissance au niveau des inscriptions. Il assure l’éducation à plus de 10 200 élèves, répartis dans plusieurs centres de la petite enfance (garderies), 25 écoles élémentaires, 7 écoles secondaires et le Centre d’éducation et de formation de l’Est ontarien (CÉFEO). En plus d’avoir le plus haut taux de diplomation de la région (92,9 %), le CSDCEO offre des

programmes pour la réussite de tous les élèves, un enseignement basé sur les valeurs catholiques, un français de qualité et un certificat de bilinguisme. Le CSDCEO est le plus grand réseau d’écoles de langue française dans les cinq comtés de Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, Prescott et Russell et aussi le plus grand employeur sur ce territoire. Le CSDCEO, c’est une tradition d’excellence !

Dans son plus récent bilan épidémiologique, la santé publique ontarienne déplore trois nouveaux décès causés par la COVID-19 au cours de la journée de dimanche, et fait état de 552 nouveaux cas.

En Ontario, 9937 personnes ont perdu la vie en raison de la COVID-19.

Dimanche, 138 personnes atteintes du virus étaient à l’hôpital et 141 patients

En Ontario, plus de 22,7 millions de doses des vaccins contre la COVID-19 ont été administrées jusqu’à présent, dont à peine 7000, dimanche.

On compte 85,5% des personnes admissibles, soit celles âgées de 12 ans et plus, qui ont reçu deux doses.

La vente aux enchères virtuelle de créations en bois de la Nation Sud, se termine avec succès COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESS DE LA CNS FINCH, Ontario - La Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) a conclu une vente aux enchères virtuelle de créations en bois qui a permis de recueillir près de 3 000 $ pour soutenir les initiatives de plantation d’arbres sur son territoire de 4 441 km2 dans l’Est de l’Ontario. « Grâce au soutien reçu lors de la vente aux enchères, nous sommes en bonne voie de dépasser le nombre record de 230 000 arbres plantés l’an dernier », a déclaré John Mesman, responsable des terres communautaires et de la sensibilisation de la CNS.

S’appuyant sur le succès de l’encan Art et Arbres tenu en 2020, en remplacement du tournoi de golf annuel de la CNS qui avait été reporté, la vente aux enchères de créations en bois comprenait de nombreux produits de bois tels que des meubles, présentoirs, œuvres d’art, enseignes et planches à charcuterie.

Au total, 45 participants ont placé 154 enchères sur 30 articles fabriqués à la main généreusement donnés par des artisans talentueux de toute la région. La vente aux enchères silencieuse s’est déroulée entièrement en ligne du 12 au 29 octobre sur le site www.32Auctions.com.

« Nous tenons à remercier le public d’avoir participé et placé des enchères, ainsi que les artisans qui ont fait don d’articles. Leur soutien contribue à protéger et à restaurer l’environnement local au nom de nos municipalités partenaires et de nos résidents », a ajouté M. Mesman.

Depuis 1990, la CNS a planté plus de 3,5 millions d’arbres dans l’ensemble de son bassin versant afin d’améliorer le couvert forestier grâce à des partenariats communautaires et municipaux et à des collectes de fonds annuelles.

L’argent recueilli lors de la vente aux enchères servira à financer le programme

communautaire de distribution gratuite d’arbres, qui permet de planter davantage d’arbres et de favoriser l’intendance environnementale des propriétaires fonciers.

Les dons à la CNS peuvent être faits en ligne à www.nation.on.ca/donate ou en communiquant avec le bureau de l’Office de protection de la nature à Finch au 1-877-9842948 ou à info@nation.on.ca. La CNS est un organisme de bienfaisance enregistré auprès de l’Agence du revenu du Canada et peut émettre des reçus de dons aux fins de déclaration de revenus.

Back then, I mean way back then, the world was flat (except for some mountains, such as Ben Nevis and Arthur’s Seat), surrounded by a very large body of water to the west. Beyond that, on the far edge of the map, just before you fell off, there was ‘hic sunt dracones’ (that’s ‘here be dragons’ for those of you who skipped too many Latin classes).

The Greenwich Prime Meridian and all the other lines of longitude hadn’t been discovered. There was no such thing as ‘coordinates’. Legends were stories handed down, not keys to map symbols, and scales were only on fish, not on maps. The indigenous peoples living in what we now call ‘The Americas’ had not been mis-named as ‘Indians’. Even though Christopher C. hadn’t yet found them, they did exist. They were the two continents’ ‘first peoples’ who had somehow made their way across the Bering Strait, possibly on an ice bridge that existed between Siberia and Alaska, during an interval between two of the global warming periods.

Few of today’s travellers’ map-reading skills go beyond the use of CAA strip maps and interstate highway numbers for the annual drive to Angela Parker with a rescued horse at Roy Florida. and Cher’s Rescue Farm.

It has been said that the only way Americans learn anything about other countries of the world is when they have to learn where those countries are so they can bomb them or go fight a war there. That can be said of the rest of us, Canadians included.

There! I’ve now established the ‘once upon a time’ of this week’s column. Today’s topic is navigation, the art of intelligently getting from here to there in a purposeful and efficient manner. Some of us have come a long way, but others are still cowering in fear of those dragons.

Our elementary school children are taught how to read text, but not how to read maps.

Just as Shakespeare needs not only to be read, but his works have to be interpreted also.

We need to be taught to interpret maps also.

Because too many of today’s teachers are graduates of high schools and universities that regarded ‘cartography’ as a four-letter word, they do not have anything about map interpretation to pass on. It’s been my experience that teaching geography is the default assignment handed to the most rooky teacher.

To prove my point, I’ll plunk you down in the middle of nowhere and hand you a compass and a 1:250,000 topographic map. Would you have any idea how you would determine where you are?

Next week I’ll give you some first-hand experiences I’ve had with the art and science of navigation.

rewarding feeling.

“I have been working with horses since I was seven, but had never been so close to a horse rescued from being slaughtered.

Leia had been a racehorse, then a broodmare for many years, then auctioned off to a meat dealer. When we took her in, she was very head-shy and nervous. She’s been with Roy and Cher’s since 2013 and over the years she’s become more confident and trusting – definitely enjoying being spoiled in her retirement; it’s what she deserves,” she said.

Those interested in applying for the position of Director of Operations at Roy and Cher’s Rescue Farm are asked to call 613662-7162 or email RoyandCher@gmail.com For all other inquiries related to Roy and BACK THEN – Technology has replaced ‘here be dragons’ with comprehensive atlases, Cher’s please call 613-334-7115 or email road maps, topographic maps, and GPS units, but most of today’s travellers have not been taught how to use them.

SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – South Glengarry based Roy and Cher’s Rescue Farm is looking for a new Director of Operations after its founder Angela Parker announced that she is stepping down from the position.

Parker founded Roy and Cher’s in 2013 and since that time has rescued hundreds of animals from horses, to dogs, to cats, to rabbits, goats, guniea pigs and reptiles from abuse and neglect.

“I’m tired,” said Parker. “Not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally. I’ve voluntarily dedicated so much of my time to this charity, it’s time for me to shift my commitment to my own well-being.”

Parker will remain with Roy and Cher’s as a Board Member and will work to map feral cat colonies in Cornwall, as well as work to revive Roy and Cher’s barn cat and trap-neuter-release (TNR) programs.

“I would like to focus on cat education and the rescue’s Spay and Neuter Program in Cornwall. Plus, I am on the board of directors, and will remain a board member. I named the rescue after my two cats so it will always have a special place in my heart,” Parker said.

Parker explained that while the position of Director of Operations is a volunteer position, it is very rewarding.

“This volunteer position is a lot of work, but very rewarding. It would also require someone who has a diverse set of skills from administration, finance, public and media relations, event planning, fundraising, writing, and of course, knowledgeable about domestic animals, particularly cats. There is a lot of constant behind-the-scenes administration work that keeps an animal rescue charity running. The person needs to be compassionate and very dedicated,” she said.

The Director of Operations at Roy and Cher’s is responsible for the organizations operations and programs and for adherence to legal standards, organizational by-laws and ethical norms. Other responsibilities include supervising or spearheading fundraising efforts.

Parker said that saving animals is a
