BUYING LOCAL

A SMALL GESTURE WITH A BIG IMPACT In addition to endorsing the merchants in your area, buying local allows you to contribute to your region’s economy by keeping jobs in the community. Plus, it’s a great way to invest in your neighbourhood’s businesses. Afterall, your support is what makes it possible for them to offer a wide variety of products and services.

Furthermore, a business that earns more money from transactions made by local citizens contributes a greater amount of tax revenue to the government. This money can then be reinvested in services that benefit the entire community.

Finally, buying local products helps protect the environment. This is because fewer greenhouse gases are emitted when locally made goods are transported to stores in the area.

common to see city officials and business organizations implement initiatives to encourage people to buy local.

This may include posting online directories that list all the businesses in the area. In addition, sometimes stores will offer special promotions, gifts and discounts to local residents.

This year for Christmas, give yourself and your community the gift of buying local.

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX Buying local isn’t just about the products you can put in a shopping cart; it’s also about investing in your region’s many services. For example, think of the various offerings provided by regional businesses in the arts such as museums, theatres, galleries and more.

This year for Christmas, consider giving an experience as a gift. It may turn out to be the perfect way to spend quality time with a loved one.

MPP Jim McDonell announces retirement NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – In a statement to the media, Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry MPP Jim McDonell has announced that he will not seek re-election to the provincial legislature in 2022.

“I have truly enjoyed serving as our community’s MPP for the past decade, and I have been blessed by a wonderful family, especially my wife Margie and a group of colleagues who have supported me in my work,” said MPP McDonell. “I am proud of what we have been able to accomplish locally and across Ontario under the leadership of Doug Ford with a great

team at Queen’s Park. However, the time has come to pass the torch and to enjoy the next chapter of my life closer to home,” said MPP McDonell.

A veteran of local politics, McDonell was first elected to South Glengarry Council in 2000, eventually becoming Mayor in 2003 and went on to be re-elected three times. During his time in municipal politics, McDonell also served as Warden of the United Counties of SD&G. In 2011 McDonell was first elected to the provincial legislature as a member of the Progressive Conservative Party.

When his party took power in the 2018 election McDonell was appointed as the

Parliamentary Secretary to Minister of Municipal Affairs Steven Clark. In his first election McDonell received 55 per cent of the vote, in the 2018 election he improved his margin attaining 61 per cent of the vote.

“I am grateful to the residents of StormontDundas-South Glengarry who have shown their confidence in me for over a decade. It has been a challenging job, but certainly a rewarding one too,” said MPP McDonell. “Rest assured though, I will still be very active to continue to improve our quality of life here at home in Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry.

McDonell, 67, will officially retire on June 1, 2022.

SVTC returns with “The 12 Days of Christmas” CAROL GODDARD SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS CORNWALL, Ontario - In keeping with the holiday season, Seaway Valley Theatre Comapny (SVTC) will be holding their annual children’s show “The 12 Days of Christmas”.

The play follows the hilarious misadventures of Christmas Town resident Shirley the Partridge as she tries to gather all the elements of this Christmas song in time for the holiday.

Director Michael DeWolfe explained the group of eight performers have been

rehearsing since mid-October after auditions were held. He commented the cast “are having a great time” with everyone looking forward to opening night.

Designed for people of all ages, the comedy lasts about an hour and is designed for people of all ages to enjoy. This year the children’s show will be performed at the SVP theatre at 30 Sixth Street East in Cornwall this year. There will be two matinees, scheduled for 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., with one evening performance beginning at 6 p. on December 4, 5, 11 and 12.

SEEKING TWO VOLUNTEERS

Here are a few reasons why gambling online is more addictive than placing bets at a casino: • It’s more accessible • It’s anonymous • It’s easy to forget you’re playing with real money Responsible gambling is possible only if you’re able to stay in control. Never bet more than you can afford to lose, and limit the amount of time you spend gambling online.

Senior-Friendly Community Committee

The risks of online gambling

Online gambling became increasingly popular during the pandemic, and many seniors turned to online casinos as a source of entertainment. Unfortunately, it’s all too common for people to become addicted to online gambling. Here are a few things to consider before you place a bet online.

Assess your risk profile Researchers have identified the following high-risk characteristics that are associated with gambling addictions: • Low income • Social isolation • Mental or physical illness • Having another addiction (alcohol, drugs, food, etc.)

Know the signs of a gambling addiction Here are a few signs that you might have a gambling problem: • You’re preoccupied with gambling • You try to recoup your losses by betting more money • You lie to others about how much you gamble • You steal or commit other crimes to finance your habit Recognize that online gambling is addictive

Cornwall’s Santa Claus Parade Returns in full force for 50th year MARC BENOIT SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS CORNWALL, Ontario – The big man himself returned to Cornwall this weekend, for the 50th annual Cornwall Santa Claus Parade.

Organized by the Service Club Council, this year’s theme was “50 years of Christmas”.

Participants and parade goers were encouraged to show their originality for the 2021 edition of the Santa Claus Parade.

This year’s parade was also notable as it was a return to the traditional parade format following the 2020 parade, which was altered to adhere to COVID-19 restriction in place at the time.

According to Parade Marshall Terry Muir, the community was out in full force to see Santa and support Cornwall’s beloved Santa Claus Parade.

“With very short notice we got the word out to the community,” said Muir. “Maybe to help celebrate the 50th? Or, maybe people are just

ready to get back to normal…We had a lot more entries than we anticipated on short notice and several new entries came for the first time.”

Muir added that on a typical year the parade sees about 45 to 50 entries, with this year’s total number of floats at 42, the 50th edition of the parade was a major success.

Alongside the healthy level of interest for participants, Cornwall’s Second Street was lined with parade goers from St. Lawrence High School all the way down to the intersection of Pitt Street and Augustus.

The Laframboise Group, a new company joining the parade, won the Industry award.

Emard Bros Group won the Retail/Service category award. Parisien Manor won for small float. Roxborough Bus Lines won for service non-profit. Wile special mentions were given to Home Hardware and Cousin Eddie.

“We’d just really like to thank the community for supporting us,” said Muir. “It meant a lot”.

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

The pandemic really has changed a lot in how we as the public view and interact with our public healthcare system and this is especially true of our public health units.

The Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) has greatly expanded its staff over the course of the pandemic. This has enabled it to role out an unprecedented vaccination program, a COVID-19 testing system, and, for a time, weekly news conferences with the media.

As a journalist, I have talked to and had the opportunity to ask questions to our Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, more times in the last two years than the previous four combined. This level of access was great while it lasted.

Recently, the bottom seems to have fallen out of the barrel when it comes to public communication from the EOHU. The EOHU has entirely stopped its weekly news conferences and requests for interviews or answers directly from Dr. Paul have gone unanswered.

Recently, I asked for a comment on whether there have been cases of vaccination certification fraud in the EOHU region. I asked through email if anyone had been referred to the police for suspicion of faking their vaccination status. I was told there was one, and when I asked a follow-up question of which police service this individual has been referred to this was the reply: “In follow-up we thank you again for your interest. Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health is unavailable to respond at this time,” reads the reply from the EOHU media team.

This response while disappointing would perhaps not be quite so aggravating if this morning I didn’t see Dr. Paul take the time for a TV interview with CTV Ottawa Morning.

While I understand that Ottawa news does have a market here in Cornwall, I do feel like more of an effort needs to be made to put responding to local questions ahead of appearances on news outlets outside your jurisdiction.

If anything, I feel that communications between the health unit and the local news is actually worse than it was before the pandemic. If I asked Dr. Paul for a comment pre-COVID I knew I would get it eventually rather than not at all.

In terms of the weekly virtual news conferences, I think that there was a good reason that those were stopped. They were poorly attended by the end because they had become routine and mundane. I agree with the decision to end those video calls, but I think the public would have been better served if those communications resources and time were deployed in other ways rather than just taken off the table all together.

Not only do I think that communications around COVID-19 remain key, but so does communications around other public health issues that have not gotten much daylight due to the pandemic, but have grown nonetheless.

Issues such as rodents and mould are serious issues in Cornwall and the rodent issue in particular seems to be a growing problem. These are important issues and it would be great if we had a higher level of communication and access to get the answers that we need on public health topics that are not COVID-related.

Not every issue needs a direct quote from Dr. Paul, but he should ensure that his communications team can independently release information and give full answers to questions without his direct involvement. Instead, my experiences as of late have been receiving brief one sentence answers. A public health unit is by definition a public facing organization and getting information should not feel like pulling teeth.

Don’t get me wrong though. The health unit has done a good job during the pandemic, overall. They have taken necessary steps to protect the public health and I do believe that is the first concern that everyone at the EOHU has in mind.

These are just thoughts based on my own experiences trying to get public health information from a public health organization.

LETTERSnseebruch@seawaynews.media Council at the Complex Dear Editor, As society returns to being “safe and normal,” there is a lingering question about why the City of Cornwall is not beginning to open their door to community events once again.

With all buildings and businesses returning to capacity limits with restrictions, why does the City Council insist on hogging the Salons in the Cornwall Civic Complex when they should have returned to Council Chambers by now?

Why does the city refuse to allow people to enter a building like the Civic Complex when most of it sits idle? It is beyond time for the City Council to return to their Chambers at 360 Pitt Street, allowing community events to begin using the Salons again. This was brought to my attention on Sunday when I took the kids down for the Trunk or Treat at Lamoureux park put on by the Optimist club, after talking with the chair of breakfast with Santa this seems like another event the children of Cornwall will not have this year one, that my kids love.

Organizations have been unable to provide services to the Cornwall community because of fundraising efforts being blocked; a

Re: Meter madness

Dear Editor, I read with interest Dick Aubrey’s opinion on water meters.

He raised a number of important points that need attention, prior to embarking on a non cost effective project that may cost 17 million with chances of escalating costs to residences.

The vote of Council of 5 to 4 is not reflective of a clear mandate to proceed with such an expensive undertaking. That is a question

problem caused by the Council clogging up Salons A and B in the Civic Complex. If this is an issue of physical distancing regarding COVID-19 safety, why does the Council not meet virtually? The City of Ottawa and many other major Councils have decided to continue meeting virtually into 2022. I do not see Ottawa City Council collecting dust in a Salon at the Canadian Tire Centre. Besides, is not every member of Cornwall City Council vaccinated? Why are they unable to safely gather at 360 Pitt Street? Do they even have a plan to move out of the Complex, or is this their new forever burrow? With the NAV Centre still closed to the public, the severe lack of accessible indoor locations to hold local fundraising events will soon begin to have a negative impact on the children of our community.

I invite Cornwall Council to enlighten us on their reasoning behind the prolonged use of the Civic Complex, as the current embarrassing behavior displayed by Council is loudly speaking for itself.

Mike Long, Cornwall, Ontario

that needs to be placed on the next municipal election ballot. Not something that should be decided with such a small majority.

Maybe we should be creative and develop an environmentally and workable conservation plan. Installing water meters is the easy way out.

Council needs to rethink this barely acceptable vote and stop passing non recoverable costs to the taxpayers.

OPINION

Conservatives may be looking for candidate Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

With the Ontario election campaign just months away, Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry MPP Jim McDonell hasn’t tipped his hand, at least publicly, vis-a-vis a re-election bid.

If the veteran politician – he entered the political arena in 2000 as a South Glengarry councillor and became mayor in 2003 decides to pull the plug and retire, it is a guessing game at this time who would be lining up to grab the coveted nomination.

Earlier this year then South Glengarry mayor Frank Prevost was preparing for a run at the nomination. Now facing serious criminal charges, Prevost has become persona non grata.

His political career is over, regardless of the outcome of the case against him. He couldn’t, as the saying goes, get elected dog catcher.

Lyle Warden, acting mayor of South Glengarry, had thought about making a run for the nomination if McDonell steps down, but he has put the idea on the shelf. South Glengarry councillor Sam McDonell (Jim’s nephew) has been mentioned as a prospect but he needs more political experience. The Liberals are said to have a candidate in the wings. Nothing from the NDP who would like to see city councillor Carilyne Hebert on the ballot. She’s got too much on her plate.

A retired McDonell would leave the riding association nominee with a strong base. He was a run-away winner in each of his three campaigns – 2011, 2014 and 2018 when he

captured 62% of the votes. He finished 17,364 votes in front of second place finisher Marc Benoit of the NDP. The Liberals had an embarrassing third-place finish with just 5,386 votes. The walls of the fortress built by John Cleary and Jim Brownell have crumbled.

In his three election victories, McDonell racked up a total of 67,700 votes, while the total for the three second-place finishers was just 27,116. Those are landslide numbers.

The one thing the Libs have going for them is that recent polls show the party in a tight race with the ruling Conservatives, with the NDP running third. If that holds up it is goodbye Andrea. The high poll number for the Liberals is a surprise considering that most Ontario voters can’t name the leader.

It is just a hunch, but methinks that after three terms and 21 years in politics, Gentleman Jim will say it has been a great ride; the time has come to pass the torch.

HERE AND THERE David Suzuki, activist/ environmentalist, issued a dark warning at a climate change rally in British Columbia this week. He said the human race will cease to exist if Canada doesn’t turn off the oil taps.

Interesting thing is that 50 years ago the same David Suzuki warned that the world would run out of oil in 50 years and would be plunged into darkness (aka extinction). ... He issued another dire warning at the B.C. rally: If (Canadian) political leaders don’t take aggressive action on the climate change file “pipelines will be blown up.” Sounds like a page from the Trump call-to-arms on Jan. 6. ... Found it strange that the local climate change group was silent during the backyard fires debate. Read the science guys, read the

science. ... Long-time friend Bob Kilger, who has been battling cancer for 11 years, is in our thoughts and prayers.

THIS MONTH 1971 – Filling in Cornwall Canal from Cumberland Street east to the cotton mills started. The project was expected to take six months. Almost a million cubic yards of stone and earth would be needed. It would provide the city with a 23-acre waterfront park. ... With the transit operation facing a $100,000 deficit, city council was looking at ways to head-off more red ink. First on the block was Thanksgiving Day service. A request from Glen-Stor-Dun Lodge for once-aweek bus service for residents was turned down. ... Westgate Court on Brookdale Avenue, the newest rent-geared-to-income, was officially opened. It had 60 units. ...

Domtar announced a three-week shutdown of its sulphite plant and the layoff of 100 workers. ... Nominations for the Dec. 6 municipal election closed with 29 aldermanic candidates and three in the mayoral race. Mayor Nick Kaneb was being challenged by Ald. Roy Brunet and newcomer Ed Lumley. ... Grover Millls Ltd. of Montreal said it was opening a plant in Cornwall with the help of a $120,000 federal government grant. It planned to employee 50 people. ... After being turned down by the Ontario Development Corporation for a $500,000 grant, Robin Austin of Austin Sugar Refinery Ltd. said he was abandoning plans to build a $5 million refinery in Cornwall. ... City council approved construction of a daycare centre to be operated by the city. It would accommodate 85 children. No site was announced. Most of the cost of construction would be funded by the province. ... A & P, a fixture on Pitt Street for decades, opened its

new store at Sydney and Eighth streets. The building is now home to Farm Boy. ... Cornwall Royals finished the month riding high in the Quebec Junior Hockey League. A 10-1 win over Laval gave the Royals a grip on first place. Rookie Gary MacGregor, the team’s leading scorer, Dave Johnson and Mike Renaud had two goals apiece. ... Plans for a pedestrian mall (closed to traffic) on Pitt Street from Third to First streets were unveiled. Proponents of the mall said it would make the downtown a shopping mecca.

The Titans were far back in eighth place. Six Nations, figuring they could manhandle the Titans in four games and wrap up the series at home, elected to start the best-of-seven series on the road. But the Titans played giant killers in the first game with a 6-5 win.

The game winner was scored by Blu Grant, a Cornwall kid who had overcome cancer to play the game he loved. Six Nations didn’t get to win the series at home but they finished off the Titans in five.

Parliament is back- and there’s lots of issues to tackle

This week marked the return, finally, of Members of Parliament to the House of Commons. It has been 62 days since the September 20th election, the longest delay recalling Parliament to work after an election

million federal election was absolutely necessary and urgent. Yet, it is only this week that we are back debating ideas and solutions to the many challenges our country faces.

There will be clear contrasts made in the coming weeks about how we can best address them. I am honoured to be the voice for the residents of Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry. The key principle I have is simple: we need to get more paycheques for Canadians and end the cycle of continuous debt. We must also put a stop to printing endless money which has caused this painful inflation.

I’m ready to get to back into Parliament.

There’s lot of work to do.

key issue that I heard repeatedly during the election, and even more so recently: the rising inflation and cost of living crisis that shows no signs of getting better.

This month, Statistics Canada confirmed that inflation is at an 18-year high at 4.7%.

Local residents have been feeling it for months. Gas prices are up 41.7% since last year. Home prices are up 18.2% in the same period. Meat prices up 9.9%. The list goes on and on. Life is getting more and more unaffordable under Justin Trudeau’s Liberals.

The delay in starting the new term of Parliament is certainly frustrating. Canadians were told by the Prime Minister that the $600

When shopping for a tub, it’s important

to think about the size of your bathroom and the experience you want to have when taking a bath. Here are several styles to consider: • An alcove bathtub is an affordable option that fits between three walls and doesn’t require much space.

• A drop-in tub is installed inside a frame made of stone, ceramic or another material designed to match the bathroom’s decor.

• A freestanding bathtub takes up more space but can give the room a contemporary flair. For a classic look, go with a clawfoot tub.

• A soaking tub is a spacious model that can be embedded in the floor. It will li-

Justice for Ashley rally to be held December 4 NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – On Saturday, Dec. 4, supporters of Ashley Thompson will be holding a rally in Cornwall that will begin in front of the Cornwall Courthouse on Second St. W. The goal of the rally is to raise awareness of violence against women and to call for harsher sentences for abusers. Thompson, a victim of domestic violence will require care for the remainder of her life.

Her mother Lorraine said that the attack against her daughter has left her with limited movement and unable to speak after she suf-

fered a traumatic brain injury.

“I want women to be aware that they don’t have to stay in a relationship like that. They can get out,” said Lorraine Thompson.

Georgina Lazore, an organizer of the rally said that there is always more than one victim in a domestic violence case.

“Domestic violence is real and it affects the whole family,” she said.

One goal of the rally is to call for a harsher sentence for Thompson’s attacker, who is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 8.

“The monster responsible for this crime is been sentenced on Tuesday December 8,

2021 and is looking at only 15 years, totally for the Elimination of Violence against unacceptable considering he left Ashley for Women. dead and her children scarred for life,” reads a statement on the Justice For Ashley event Facebook page. “She will never leave long term care to enjoy watching her children grow, this has effected her lively hood, her children, her mom, her siblings, and the community as a whole,” the statement goes on to read.

Last week a victim impact statement signed by 1,000 members of the community was submitted to the court calling for a harsher sentence for Thompson’s attacker.

CORNWALL, Ontario – Le grand homme en personne est revenu à Cornwall ce week-end, pour le 50e défilé annuel du Père Noël de Cornwall. Organisé par le Service Club Council, le thème de cette année était “50e ans de Noël”. Les participants et les spectateurs ont été encouragés à faire preuve d’originalité pour l’édition 2021 de la Parade Père Noël.

Le défilé de cette année était également remarquable, car il s’agissait d’un retour au format traditionnel du défilé après celui de 2020, qui avait été modifié pour respecter la restriction COVID-19 en vigueur à l’époque.

Selon le Parade Marshall Terry Muir, la communauté était présente en force pour voir le Père Noël et soutenir le défilé du Père Noël bien-aimé de Cornwall.

“Avec un préavis très court, nous avons fait passer le mot à la communauté”, a déclaré Muir. “Peut-être pour aider à célébrer le 50e anniversaire? Ou peut-être que les gens sont tout simplement prêts à revenir à la

normale…. Nous avons eu beaucoup plus d’inscriptions que prévu à court préavis et plusieurs nouvelles inscriptions sont venues pour la première fois.

Muir a ajouté qu’au cours d’une année typique, la défilé compte entre 45 et 50 inscriptions et que cette année, le nombre total de chars étant de 42, la 50e édition du défilé a été un grand succès.

En plus du niveau d’intérêt pour les participants, la deuxième rue de Cornwall était bordée de participants au défilé, de l’école secondaire St. Lawrence jusqu’à l’intersection des rues Pitt et Augustus.

Le groupe Laframboise, une nouvelle entreprise qui s’est jointe au défilé, a remporté le prix de l’industrie. Le groupe Emard Bros a remporté le prix de la catégorie Commerce de Détail/Service. Le Manoir Parisien a remporté le prix du petit char. Roxborough Bus Lines a remporté le prix du service à but non lucratif. Des mentions spéciales ont été attribuées à Home Hardware et Cousin Eddie.

“Nous tenons à remercier la communauté de nous avoir soutenus”, a déclaré Muir.

“Cela a signifié beaucoup”

Le BSEO encourage le public à se faire vacciner contre la grippe PAR NICK SEEBRUCH TRADUIT PAR NICHOLAS LAURIN nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Avec le retour annuel de la saison de la grippe, le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario (EOHU) encourage toutes les personnes admissibles à recevoir le vaccin contre la grippe (influenza), particulièrement à la lumière de la pandémie actuelle de COVID-19.

“Avec l’arrivée de l’automne et du temps plus frais, ils apportent avec eux le début de la saison de la grippe. Le vaccin contre la grippe est la meilleure protection contre la

grippe et avec la présence de COVID-19 dans la communauté, se faire vacciner est plus important que jamais. Le vaccin contre la grippe a été approuvé pour être utilisé en même temps que les vaccins COVID-19 et constitue une étape clé pour rester en bonne santé cette saison”, peut-on lire dans un communiqué du EOHU. Le vaccin contre la grippe (influenza) est disponible dans la plupart des pharmacies et des centres de santé des comtés unis de SD&G et de Cornwall. Le EOHU offre le vaccin contre la grippe (influenza) aux enfants âgés de six mois à cinq ans.

“Le COVID-19 et la grippe partagent de

nombreux symptômes, mais malgré leurs similitudes, être entièrement vacciné contre le COVID ne vous protégera pas de la grippe.

Se faire vacciner contre la grippe peut contribuer à réduire la demande dans les centres d’évaluation du COVID-19. Moins il y a de personnes qui développent des symptômes de la grippe, moins il y a de personnes qui devront subir un test de dépistage du COVID19”, peut-on lire dans le communiqué du EOHU. “Se faire vacciner contre la grippe réduira également vos chances de contracter la grippe et de devoir aller à l’hôpital. Vous pouvez contribuer à réduire la pression sur le système de santé en vous faisant vacciner

contre la grippe”.

Les parents qui souhaitent faire vacciner leurs jeunes enfants sont priés de téléphoner au 613-933-1375 ou au 1-800-267-7120 pour prendre rendez-vous.

Certains groupes de personnes sont plus susceptibles de souffrir de complications dues à la grippe saisonnière, notamment les enfants âgés de 6 mois à moins de 5 ans, les personnes âgées de 65 ans et plus et les personnes atteintes de maladies chroniques.

Il est également recommandé à toute personne qui vit avec une personne appartenant à l’une de ces catégories ou qui prend soin de se faire vacciner contre la grippe.

www.cornwallseawaynews.com - Cornwall Express - Le mercredi 24 novembre, 2021 - 13

CORNWALL, Ontario – Un groupe d’environ deux douzaines de personnes s’est réuni pour manifester devant le bureau du député Eric Duncan sur l’avenue Brookdale à Cornwall lundi matin 22 novembre.

Les manifestants s’opposaient aux politiques de vaccination obligatoire COVID-19 pour les travailleurs de la santé et les employés d’autres milieux à risque.

Le 1er octobre, la province de l’Ontario a annoncé que tous les employés et bénévoles des établissements de soins de longue durée seraient tenus de recevoir le vaccin COVID-19 d’ici le 15 novembre ou de présenter une preuve d’exemption médicale.

“Notre message pour aujourd’hui est que le vaccin ne devrait pas vous être imposé “, a déclaré une manifestante qui s’est identifiée comme étant Amy. “Nous devrions avoir nos emplois à risque”.

Alors que de nombreuses politiques de vaccination sont soit provinciales, soit municipales, les manifestants ont dit qu’ils avaient choisi le bureau du député Eric Duncan parce qu’ils voulaient atteindre tout le monde avec leur message et ils n’ont pas exclu de futures manifestations à d’autres endroits.

Dans une déclaration aux médias, le député Eric Duncan a encouragé tout le monde à se faire vacciner.

“Je crois fermement que la meilleure façon de dépasser cette pandémie est de se faire vacciner. Je suis entièrement vacciné, tout comme l’ensemble de mon personnel et j’encourage tous ceux qui le peuvent à se faire vacciner. Pour ceux qui ne peuvent pas être vaccinés pour des raisons médicales, je crois qu’un accès amélioré au dépistage rapide devrait être disponible et j’encourage le gouvernement fédéral à mettre cet accès à la disposition des provinces”, peut-on lire dans la déclaration de M. Duncan.

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

INGLESIDE, Ontario – The students of Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic School showed strong support of Remembrance Day and veterans last week.

The school, which has 243 students, collected $298 in donations for the Royal Canadian Legion Long Sault Branch 569’s annual poppy drive this year.

In addition to the donations, the students also wrote postcards to Legion members and to veterans through Veterans Affairs Canada.

Poppy Chair Simon Lavallée said that Legion members were impressed when they received the donation box back from the school and saw how heavy it was, and were touched when, in addition to the postcards, many students had left handwritten notes in the donation box with words of thanks to veterans.

The notes in the donation box were something that the students of Our Lady of Good Counsel did on their own accord, and came as a surprise even to the school’s principal,

Colleen Barrie-Adams.

“It was really heart warming for us when we learned about the notes,” she said.

Lavallée and Legion volunteer Larry Godard were invited to Our Lady of Good Counsel on Wednesday, Nov. 17 to meet with some of the students and see all of the Remembrance Day artwork that each class made which still hangs on the walls.

“To wear the poppy is to show respect for what happened in the wars and for our country,” said Grade 7 student Hunter.

“It is to remember the people who fought in the war and who keep the peace,” said Kindergartener Michelle.

In all, Legion Branch 569 collected over $13,000 this year through their poppy campaign, nearly double from the year before.

Funds collected by the poppy campaign are used to support Canada’s veterans.

Pictured at right are Legion Branch 569 Poppy Chair Simon Lavallée, students Hunter, Audrey, Michelle and Barret, Our Lady of Good Counsel Principal Colleen Barrie-Adams, and Legion volunteer Lar r y Godard.

OBITUARY

Cornwall Funeral Homes

With heavy hearts, we must announce that our family lost our hero, Kimberley Ann MacIntosh (née Moran), who passed peacefully in her home on November 17, at the age of 54, surrounded by her husband, two daughters and two siblings, after a ferociously brave four-and-ahalf-year battle with stage-four lung cancer.

Kim is survived by her devoted husband of 18 years, Dean MacIntosh.

The proud mother of daughters Ceilidh and Sadie, she was beloved by her parents Ken and Janice Moran, sister Pamela Ouellet (Eric), and brother James Moran (Anita Dolman). She is also survived by her parents-in-law Carolee and Robert (“Bob”) MacIntosh; brother-in-law Warren MacIntosh (Trudy); nieces Brittany, Kelsey, Rebecca, and Cassie MacIntosh; and nephews Thaeden Ouellet and Dylan Moran-Dolman.

She was loved, admired and cherished by family and friends.

Kim was renowned and admired for her mental health advocacy, her successful, nearly 30-year nursing career and, more recently, her lungcancer advocacy. Her absence is felt by co-workers, the mental health community, her lung-cancer advocacy sisters and brothers, and the countless others she inspired and befriended over the years, and whose lives she touched with her kindness; spirited, no-nonsense approach to life; and fierce determination in all pursuits.

Kim will be dearly missed by many close friends including her besties Kelli, Shelley and Anne.

The family will be in attendance for her Irish wake and celebration of life at Lahaie & Sullivan Cornwall Funeral Homes, West Branch, 20 Seventh Street West (613-932-8482). In the spirit of Kim’s love of shopping, the event will be held on Black Friday, November 26, 2021, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Family and friends without vaccines are invited to attend from 1 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Vaccinated family and friends are invited to attend from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. After 1:30 p.m. proof of vaccination will be requested upon arrival. Masks are mandatory at all times. The family encourages guests to reserve a time at (https://www.signupgenius.com/ go/10C0C4EAFA72BA1FFC16-celebration1). Please call the Funeral Home at (613-932-8482) should you require assistance booking your time for visitation.

To express sympathy, kindly donate to The Assertive Community Treatment Team (ACTT), Lizzie’s Lungs, and Lung Cancer Canada.

Kim’s flower preferences are available at Blooms, Cornwall.

4. Not keeping it to the point. It’s okay to leave out jobs if they have little to do with the position you’re applying for and you held them many years ago. Only relevant and recent employment experience should be identified in your CV. 5. Providing references. Generally, it’s best to leave your personal and professional references off your CV. If the hiring manager wants them, they’ll ask.

Remember that your CV should be a summary of your professional skills. Anything more than two pages is too long and probably won’t be read.

If we’ve been taught how to read maps, they can help us find out where we are. It takes even more skill and experience to also estimate when we’ll be ‘there’, our destination. However, it’s of interest and value to learn what’s en route. That way, we can get to enjoy the smell of the roses.

Too many of today’s travellers have become blindly dependant upon the GPS (Global Positioning Systems). Throwing a novel at a three-year-old wouldn’t help the child.

It’s amazing what a GPS can (and cannot) do.

My first experience was long before GPS units were available to civilians. I was on assignment as a photographer, in the observer position

beside the boom operator of a KC-135 Stratotanker from Rome AFB, NY. We were to rendezvous over Maine with a fuel-thirsty B-52 Stratofortress. We were alone above a sea of thick grey cloud. Then, as if by magic, the B-52 popped out of the undercast below us, punctual as a Swiss clock, precisely over the right place, at the agreed upon altitude, thanks to the navigators and their GPS skills.

Some years later, I was a passenger in the back seat of a Cessna 172 flying over southern Quebec. The pilot and co-pilot were marvelling at their new toy, one of the early GPS units.

Suddenly, panic set in. “The screen’s gone blank!

The battery must be dead. Where are we? We can’t wander into American airspace. Do we announce an emergency?”

I interrupted with, “We’re right over Roxham, Quebec, paralleling Route 202. The quarry near Covey Hill will be coming up on your left side.”

“Do you have a GPS back there!”

“No, I have an M-A-P in my lap, and I’ve bicycled that road. I know the landmarks.”

The following s experience reminded me that a GPS won’t do squat for you unless you feed it a good question.

A friend, enamored with his new GPS, announced, “Let’s drive to Ottawa. We’ll pick up some electronic stuff at Future Shop. I’ll just punch it in and it’ll take us there.” About 30 kilometers after our target destination, we were in a cul-de-sac, empty fields and a large sign in front of us. It read “Future site of high school, Ottawa Public Board”.

You have to give the GPS enough of a question.

Software programmers can make mistakes. To visit the Museum of Flight near Seattle I followed Rose’s detailed instructions. We ended up in a classy suburban dead-end street, 40 km away. I

AS PREDICTED – This is the quarry near Covey Hill, Quebec, a striking landmark remembered from a cycling trip ten years earlier. (Photo by Nick Wolochatiuk) knew the museum was at the Boeing Field airport, so I asked Rose to take us there. She did.

“So who’s Rose?” you ask. Our GPS’s name is ‘Compass Rose’, but we just call her ‘Rose’ for short. She told us the airport was 30 km away as the crow flies. She then gave us the correct route instructions. Somebody at Garmin had made a programming mistake.

Province to give school age students take-home COVID tests ahead of winter break NICK SEEBRUCH

Minister of Health. “As we head into the colder months we are enhancing our testing strategy to ensure that every Ontarian, regardless of where they live, can access testing closer to home when they need it and get a test result as quickly as possible.”

The province will also make available a program that pharmacies can opt-in to allowing them to administer publicly funded COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests.

“Getting vaccinated, adhering to public health measures and maintaining consistent and timely access to testing will be key to responding to potential outbreaks or surges,” said Dr. Kieran

Moore, Chief Medical Officer of Health. “As we prepare to head inside over the winter months, and while we have paused the next step of our reopening plan out of an abundance of caution, enhancing our testing strategy is critical to protect our hospital capacity, health care resources, and the progress we have made together so far in learning to live with and manage COVID-19 in the long term.”

The province will also be expanding testing for asymptomatic individuals at testing sites that will be established across the province. The province states that the location of these sites will be announced in the coming weeks.

ONTARIO – The province of Ontario announced on Thursday, Nov. 18 that it would be increasing access to testing, including by sending rapid antigen screening tests home with all public school students ahead of the winter break.

“Ontario’s plan for safer schools has delivered improved ventilation, supported high vaccination rates for youth, and restored extra-curricular activities and sports – all critical to student mental and physical health,” said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Education. “By expanding testing options over the winter holiday, putting in place

additional safety measures, and returning to normal timetabling, we are taking action to ensure schools reopen safely while supporting a more positive learning environment for students.”

The province intends to send each student home with five tests for use over the winter break and as students prepare to return to the classroom in January. This program will also be available to First Nations communities.

“While vaccination remains the best way to protect against COVID-19, testing remains a key part of our pandemic response by detecting cases earlier and providing an additional layer of safety,” said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and
