United Way kicks off 2020 fundraising campaign NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The United Way of SD&G and Cornwall held their annual kickoff breakfast for their 2020 fundraising campaign.

Like many things during the ongoing COVID19 pandemic, this year’s event was different.

There was no early morning in person breakfast at the Legion with bacon and eggs, no cheque presentations, but what was the same was the passion for community support.

Juliette Labrossiere, Executive Director of the United Way of SD&G and Cornwall explained how the United Way’s campaign supports 16 agencies and 20 programs in the region and how this year, they have pledged $337,786 in support.

David Booyink, Campaign Chair for the 2020 fundraiser explained that not only financial support, but also volunteering was an important way to support community agencies.

“It makes me fulfilled,” Booyink said. “I wish I could do this in a way to help everybody.”

In addition to the usual needs of local

agencies, this year the United Way also had to help with the additional challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic presented to the community. The United Way formed the local Emergency Response Council, helped organize and distribute food baskets for those in need and disbursed $534,000 to community agencies in need of COVID Relief Funding.

The Breakfast did have the traditional community testimonials, this year from Big Brothers/ Big Sisters Cornwall.

Local Big Brother Stephen Douris interviewed Maureen, a single mother with two children who have been in the Big Brothers/ Big Sisters Cornwall program and have benefited from it.

Maureen explained how her son’s Big Brother D’Arcy took her son to Colt’s hockey games, bowling, and taught him the importance of giving back to the community through volunteering. Her daughter’s Big, Carol Ann, has visited her at home frequently during the pandemic and sometimes has spent hours laughing and catching up with her in the yard.

“When I listen to this, I get quite emotional.

When the connection is there, I know you can

Juliette Labrossiere, Executive Director of the United Way of Cornwall and SD&G during the 2020 virtual campaign kickoff breakfast. feel it,” said Douris.

“My son has been given healthy male role models. D’Arcy taught him about paying it forward,” said Maureen.

The phone information service 2-1-1 also gave a testimonial during the breakfast.

2-1-1 partnered with the United Way earlier this year to help get information out about the food baskets and the COVID-19 relief

funding.

“There will be a big demand this fall, whether it is help with utility bills, or finding clothes for their kids for the winter,” said John Hoyles of 2-1-1.

The need is always there, but to support the United Way’s 2020 campaign donations can be made on their website at https://unitedwaysdg.com/

Health Unit getting $397K for dental care for seniors NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) will be receiving $397,500 to help low-income seniors meet their dental care needs.

This is a par t of a $25 million

investment in the Ontario Seniors Dental Program.

“This is great news for our local seniors who may struggle to maintain good dental health. I am confident the new clinic will be well utilized and will improve the quality of life for many seniors,” said MPP Jim

McDonell, representative of Stormont, Dundas and South Glengarry.

As a part of the funding the low-income seniors dental clinic located at the Seaway Valley Community Health Centre will be moved to the EOHU office at 1000 Pitt St. “Funds will be used to renovate existing

space (e.g., board rooms, conference room and washrooms) to create a new dental suite, and re-locate two dental procedure rooms, a reprocessing room and a Panorex x-ray machine, to this office space,” reads a press release from MPP McDonell.

Five easy steps to prevent arthritis

MOVEMENT MATTERS

NATASHA INGRAM MOVE THERAPEUTICS

Arthritis is one of the leading most debilitating diseases in Canada. This joint inflammation leads to pain and stiffness, with women being affected more than men.

Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis and people often think it can’t be helped and is an inevitable part of aging.

Good news - there are plenty of steps women (and men) can take to halt the progression of osteoarthritis and also manage it! Simple lifestyle changes can slow the disease progression, reduce pain, improve mood, increase mobility, and eliminate the need for joint replacements.

WIth the help of a physiotherapist, the following steps can help reduce your risk of developing and progressing arthritis: 1. Strengthen the muscles that support your joints - muscles help stabilize your joints (like a brace) and decrease the amount of compression through your joints during movement. The stronger your muscles are, the less load goes through your joints. For knee arthritis, focus on strengthening your quadriceps, hamstrings and gluteal

muscles.

2. Decrease the load on your joints - carrying extra weight increases your risk of developing arthritis. Every 10lbs of weight is equivalent to 40lbs of extra load on your hips and knees. Research shows that shedding even 11lbs can reduce your risk of knee replacement by 50%.

3. Practice yoga - a mind-body practice that relaxes you, slows your breath, focuses on the present, improves your joint flexibility and helps you connect with your body. This wonderful combination decreases depression, stress and pain, while improving your overall mind and body function.

4. Restrict saturated fats and added sugars in your diet - inflammation in your body can come directly from the foods you

consume. We are what we eat! So limit the white breads and pastas, processed meats, and fruit drinks - substitute with plenty of vegetables, nuts and wholegrain foods.

5. Avoid injuries and rehab properly - you are at an increased risk of developing arthritis after injury. Your physiotherapist will help you target the muscles that support the injured area and strengthen the muscles to support that joint. Being active protects you against injury - listen to your body and know your limits.

Find activities and healthy foods that you enjoy making and eating, and be consistent.

Need help getting on track and managing your arthritis? Please feel free to drop me a line at Natasha@movetherapeutics.ca to discuss further. Stay safe and healthy!

Health Unit prepares for COVID cases in schools NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) is working with local schools and school boards to help manage COVID-19 and any possible outbreaks.

Public health unit nurses will be aiding with contact tracing and case management for any COVID-19 infections, and schools have heightened their hygienic and social distancing practices.

“Our priority is to make the school year as safe as possible for everyone,” said Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health for the EOHU. “With the return to in-person classes,

it’s possible that we may see some cases of COVID-19 at our local schools. However, parents should be assured that plans are in place to quickly identify cases and their contacts, along with infection prevention measures that will help protect students and minimize spread of the virus in schools.”

If there is a confirmed case of COVID-19 at a school, the school and the health unit will work to assess the situation, isolate contacts, and notify families.

Outbreaks will be posted on school websites as well as at the health unit.

According to outbreak management guidelines provided to school boards by the

province of Ontario, if a communicable case of COVID-19 is discovered at a school, that student, their cohort, as well as any close contacts or siblings could be sent home to self-isolate for 14 days. If multiple cohorts from one school are sent home, then the school could be closed for 14 days.

The Health Unit states that its assessment of the situation will determine if classes should be cancelled or if a school should be closed if a COVID-19 case is discovered.

Dr. Roumeliotis acknowledged that with the return to school, many common ailments like the common cold or the flu will begin to spread and that those viruses share similar

symptoms to COVID-19.

“We’re urging everyone to remain vigilant for possible COVID-19 symptoms, and to stay home if they are ill or experiencing symptoms,” he said. “However, we are also cautioning against jumping to conclusions that all respiratory symptoms or absences from school are related to COVID-19, since in many cases symptoms may be due to other causes.”

Parents will be asked to use a screening tool to screen their children for symptoms daily and teachers will be asked to use an online COVID-19 assessment tool for themselves.

Civility with the other parent - it’s in the child’s best interest THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE

JODIE REYNOLDS - SENIOR FAMILY COUNSEL LEVESQUE, GRENKIE

Redefining Assisted Living

Little ears hear everything. No matter what your personal feelings may be, keep your child’s wellbeing in mind when you are dealing with the other parent. That means keeping any negative comments to yourself.

When children hear one parent speak negatively about the other it causes them to be confused. They may wonder how they can be excited to see their other parent when you clearly dislike them. How can they share the same traits as the other parent that they hear you complain about?

You should encourage your child to spend time with the other parent. You should get them excited to attend, avoid making them feel guilty about going or that they are missing out on anything with you. Each child deserves to have a loving and stable relationship with both parents.

The best interest of the child varies as they grow. You, as their parent, have to recognize, adjust and be selfless when it comes to determining what they need to grow and

CARE SERVICES ✦ Skilled Nursing ✦ 24 Hour care Staff ✦ Individual Care Plans ✦ Mobility Assistance ✦ Continence Care ✦ AM /PM Care ✦ Medication Supervision & Administration

thrive.

When the child’s parents do not live together, it takes extra care on the part of the primary parent to ensure that the child’s relationship with the other parent is made a priority.

You are doing a great disservice to your children when they hear you speak negatively about their other parent. Every time you speak with your child about their other parent or speak about the other parent within ear shot of the child, remember, that child has two parents that they love and adore.

Depending on their age, they will not recognize the faults and behaviour that you see.

They are just happy to see their other parent.

Little ears hear everything. They pick up on negative attitudes and that may cause them to have mixed feelings. The best gift you can give your children if for them to be secure in spending time with both parents, knowing you fully support their other relationship and recognize it as an important one in their lives. *Only my clients get my legal advice.

PRIVATE & SEMI-PRIVATE SUITES

CORNWALL, Ontario – On Sept. 26 Sauvé Tax Services will be holding their first Paws First giveaway $1,000 worth of pet food for those families with furry friends who have experienced difficulties because of COVID-19.

“I was inspired by Dr. Jeff Young: Rocky Mountain Vet in Denver, Colorado, whose show I have been watching since it went on the air in 2015. He bought $5,000 worth of cat and dog food and gave it away to families with pets going through a rough time due to COVID,” reads a statement from Josée Sauvé, owner and operator of Sauvé Tax Services. “The $15 or $20 a family does not have to spend on dog or cat food means that they can spend that money on paying bills or feeding their family. We have both a cat and a dog (a rescue) so we know how expensive

it is to feed them.”

Those in need are asked to stop by the Sauvé Tax Services at 707 Twelfth St. E. (off McConnell) on Sept. 26 between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. to pick up what they are in need of for their pet.

All food not collected during the Paws First giveaway will be donated to the OSPCA. “It’s not about us as individuals, it’s about community and doing what we can to help,” wrote Sauvé. “As Dr. Jeff said “Giving a little bit just makes it easier on everybody else.”

In March 2020, Sauve Tax Services gave away 10 tablets to children who needed them for at home learning and seniors in nursing homes to allow them to communicate with their loved ones. We were so grateful for the outpouring of gratitude and yet – it is us that THANK all of you!”

3 MINUTES WITH THE MAYOR STEVEN BYVELDS SOUTH DUNDAS

It has been a busy summer navigating life during the COVID-19 pandemic. A lot has

changed over the last six months, but the Municipality continues to work for the community as we all move forward.

Many of our projects are progressing nicely. The Ontario Street Reconstruction project is well underway and on schedule to be completed by mid-October.

Iroquois will see the outcome of the pathway rehabilitation project as it nears completion in time for some fall use from walkers, runners, and bikers alike. The generous grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation has made the project possible and we look

forward to the community’s enjoyment of the path.

More recently, the Toronto Blue Jays, Jays Care Foundation has awarded the Seaway Surge Baseball Club, in partnership with the Municipality, a $45,000.00 grant to rebuild the Morrisburg baseball diamond. The new 60/90 diamond at Earl Baker Park will give the South Dundas community one of eastern Ontario’s best ball diamonds.

There is plenty to look forward to as we look ahead to the fall months. Many of our young families are preparing for

back-to-school. Please stay vigilant and take the necessary steps to preventing transmission of the COVID-19 virus. Our health officials have released helpful information to prepare for the cooler weather while maintaining the health and safety of us all. We must still work together to prevent infection and reduce the impact the virus may have on the local and regional community.

Enjoy the month ahead and stay safe.

Steven Byvelds, Mayor of South Dundas

FanSaves finds success through pandemic adversity NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – FanSaves was born and grown in the Cornwall area. The digital platform helps fans connect with their favourite brands and get deals on products for supporting them.

When the COVID-19 pandemic arrived in Eastern Ontario, FanSaves founders Shannon Ferguson and Kris McCarthy wanted to do what they could to help local business get through this difficult time.

“Within 10 days of the shutdown announcement we had called our business advisors to discuss how the business could pivot,” said Ferguson.

One of their advisors, Kelly Bergeron, had started a gift certificate program to support businesses in Cornwall and SD&G and she gave FanSaves her blessing to pick up the idea and expand on it.

The FanSaves Helps Gift Certificate Program soon launched and came to support 632 businesses in 62 communities across Canada and generated over $34,000 with 100 per cent of the money going back to the businesses the initiative supported.

“We had businesses on the phone crying saying that they were able to pay their rent because of this program,” said Ferguson.

“Some of the businesses in the program didn’t have social media, but thanks to this program, they were able to sell gift cards through the e-commerce hub we built,” said McCarthy.

Shannon and Kris have since ended the gift card program, which they saw as a bridge to keep businesses afloat until businesses began to re-open.

They are now focused on FanSaves and promoting the the shop local movement.

Their app and newly updated website has

helped their clients connect with their customers digitally through offering discounts, deals, and even push notifications about deals for those walking by brick and mortar stores.

FanSaves recently launched a new partnership with Collegiate Sports Ltd., an organization involved with over 2400 properties including professional and college sports teams.

They are also in the midst of gaining significant investment, opening a seed round with the goal of raising $1 million CAD. “We’ve been laying the groundwork for investment by bootstrapping to this point,” said Ferguson. “As difficult as COVID has been, it has allowed us to show our true colours and push through. It has shown our clients how important digital sponsorship FanSaves founders Shannon Ferguson and Kris McCarthy (Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News). and assets are.”

35 years of service Cornwall Seaway News turns 35 this week. In September 1985 our first edition was published, and the dream of Rick Shaver and Dick Aubry was realized.

Since that first edition, Seaway News has delivered on its commitment to provide news to the communities of Cornwall, SD&G and Akwesasne and value to advertisers that cannot be found anywhere else.

“Congratulations to Rick and staff of the Seaway News on this notable 35-year milestone. Well done. May you continue the journey of success with pride. I wish you many, many more successful years,” said Julie McIntosh of McIntosh Massage Therapy, a long-time advertiser with Seaway News.

Another long-time advertiser, Brian Johnston of Upper Canada Mortgage remarked on the value that Seaway News has offered his firm over the years.

“We have been advertising in Seaway News for over 20 years, where we have had an upper lug on the front page,” Johnston said. “Everyone has always told us that they see us every week at the top of Seaway News…however we have always only advertised every second week. The advice of Rick Shaver way back then obviously worked. Congratulations on 35 years.”

Central to the story and the character of Seaway News have been the people who worked on it and poured their effort into

every edition.

“Our first offices were at 533 Pitt St. To call it offices is a bit of an exaggeration. It was more like an open space with some partitioning,” said Dick Aubry, who founded the paper with Rick Shaver and retired in 2010. “Our first winter was difficult due to problems with our distribution contractor. I remember delivering papers in very cold weather. However, we overcame those and other problems. We were fortunate to have many good people. Several of the real veterans are still there; Jennifer, Colleen and of course Rick. Without people like these Seaway News could not have existed,” Many former employees have fond memories of that first office.

“One of my favourite, earliest memories is from our original location on Pitt Street,” said Arlene Snelgrove. “I worked part time. Tom and I shared a desk because there was no room for us to each have one. It was mine in the morning, his in the afternoon. But, my most memorable moments all involve the clients I looked after, some for the full 24 years I worked at Seaway News. They were an amazing assortment of individuals who became far more than just clients. To them I say “Thank you for your business and some great memories.”

“The things I remember the most were sitting in the board room with Sammy

Lalonde, Rick, Dick, Arlene and having quizzes for bucks or quarters or whatever we got,” added her husband Bill Snelgrove.

“During the Ice Storm we watched our co-workers two young kids while she helped putting the paper together.”

Faces at the Seaway News office have changed over the past 35 years, but co-workers past and present remember fondly their time at the publication.

“Seaway News has created a great following of readers over 35 years,” said Jennifer Mayer, Sales Coordinator who has been with Seaway News since the early days. “There have been a lot of changes since those early days and we have grown tremendously in all areas. We have had a great group of people to work with over the years and time has passed by quickly.”

“When I started at Seaway News, I never dreamed that I would still be here 30 years later. I was very grateful when Rick and Dick hired me (way back when), I never could have imagined what a great work family I was getting into. To have spent my entire adult working career with the same company has been such a blessing,” remarked Colleen Benton-Parette, who has been with Seaway News since she began as an intern and is now head of the Production Department. “It’s a nice feeling to know that our newspaper is so well received in the community and that people look forward to reading us every week.

Anytime someone asks me where I work and I tell them Seaway News, I always hear, “I love your paper!” There is no better compliment!”

Past employees like Deena Dufresne and Robin Cameron remember social events like the celebration of office birthdays that made the team feel more like a family than like a group of co-workers.

The commitment of Seaway News’ employees to the product of the paper is reflected in the close connection they have had with the community over the past 35 years.

“A great joy was having families come in year after year to place their birthday ads on our Let’s Celebrate page. Seeing their children grow up, graduate and eventually

get married and now grandchildren.

Everybody loves to check out that page to see who’s celebrating a birthday or anniversary every week. I have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people,” said Diane Lafrance, long-time Receptionist. “We are truly a great weekly community newspaper that people cannot wait to check out every week. I have been fortunate to have spent 21+ years working there and with a great bunch of people to boot!”

Even those employees who have moved on, remember their time at the paper fondly.

“The learning curve was vertical for the first couple of years, but through the stress, tears, frustration, awe and selfdoubt, from international politics to county fairs, and from iconic rock stars to ribbon cuttings, I had the time of my life,” said Roxanne Delage, a photographer and former columnist with Seaway News. “Thanks Rick Shaver, for giving me a shot that day.

My life has been greatly enriched and forever changed by my newspaper years.”

The landscape of Cornwall and the news industry itself has changed seismically over the past 35 years. What has not changed since Seaway News began is not just its commitment to advertisers, not just maintaining a strong news presence on all platforms, but also the commitment to be a part of the community the paper serves.

“When Dick and I got together little did I realize that I would be managing this media company 35 years later,” said Rick Shaver, who now is GM and Publisher.

“Committed to our Community” has always been our motto, our goal was for our advertisers to succeed and our readers to have interesting, informative and local community news each week. Introducing Cornwall Living and our other magazines complimented our media mix. We now deliver the news and client ads on our social media including our web site. We have been so fortunate to have good people work for us over the years and to have Doug and his team deliver us in the Ad Bag.”

Reflecting on 35 years NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

Reaching 35 years in business is no small feat. Seaway News reached this milestone this month through the dedication of many employees over the years, and also through the support of our community. We are so grateful to have the trust and support of our readers in Cornwall and SD&G, trust and support I believe we have earned thanks to our unceasing efforts to reliably serve them throughout the past three and a half decades.

Our commitment can be seen in print every week, having never missed an issue whether it be through holidays, the great Ice Storm of ’98, and now through a pandemic. Seaway News has continued on and has supported community organizations and businesses ever since 1985.

As a weekly, community newspaper, we provide a service to Cornwall, SD&G, and Akwesasne that cannot be found anywhere else. Namely, a reflection of the people that make up our community and access to that

community to businesses in a way only a a media outlet like Seaway News can offer.

Being a community newspaper gives us a distinct flavour and purpose. A part of that purpose means serving as an advertising platform that offers businesses direct access to their client base. Our advertisers know that the clients they want to reach are not going to be found by advertising in national papers or in television, and we certainly have a further reach than a simple billboard.

Cornwall Seaway News is in over 30,000 homes throughout Cornwall and SD&G every week, and our monthly website traffic is in the hundreds of thousands. This is the value we offer to local businesses, a value dependent on our faithful coverage of our people, our readers, our community.

We have this kind of support from our readership because our stories reflect what is important in their neighbourhoods and in their daily lives.

In 35 years, we have covered United Way campaign kickoff breakfasts, county fairs, every Santa Claus parade, and fundraisers

of all kinds. Often you will see familiar faces in front of the camera too, not just behind it.

Since co-founding Seaway News in 1985, Rick Shaver has been involved in the community throughout the years. If not suppor ting community events and organizations through volunteering, he is supporting them through Seaway News with coverage and advertising.

An important part of the character of a community paper is the ability of the community to see itself in its pages. One of the first things I learned as an Editor of a community paper early on is the importance of faces. Faces, the faces of their neighbours and friends, should be what our readers see on the front page every week.

We provide more than news, we provide a voice for the community. We have always had a roster of columnists. These columns are not syndicated, but are written by local people, the neighbours of our readers.

We have always maintained our Scuttlebutt section where our readers send in their comments, their thanks and show their

Seaway News welcomes letters to the editor. Letters should be no longer than 300 words and may be edited fo clarity or length. Please send your letters by email to nseebruch@seawaynews.media or by mail to 501 Campbell Street, Unit 6, Cornwall, ON K6H 6X5. Include name, address and phone number.

appreciation for each other.

Additionally, we must and do provide news for our community. A study conducted by the University of Notre Dame in the United States found that when a community in that country lost their community paper, their taxes went up, because there was no one there to hold politicians accountable. Seaway News is dedicated to covering council news, news from the provincial MPP, the federal MP, school boards, the health unit, and everything else relevant to the lives of our readers so they can remain responsible informed citizens.

The past 35 years have been an honour for us at Seaway News to be the community newspaper for Cornwall and the surrounding counties of SD&G. You, our readers, can count on us to continue to be a reflection of our community, and a valuable platform for local businesses.

one week’s paid vacation for all employees, time-and-a-half for overtime and four paid statutory holidays – Christmas, New Year’s, Dominion Day and Labour Day. Under the agreement the company kept the right to employ non-union members. The United Textile Workers Union president called the contract the “best textile agreement in Canada.” ... Six city residents – Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Piper, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Doherty and Mr. and Mrs. Paddy O’Donaghue – were left clinging to the 32-foot cabin cruiser they were on for an hour in darkness after it was rammed by a laker in the St. Lawrence River near Stanley Island.

In a hard-hitting editorial on Sept. 16, 1937, the Standard-Freeholder railed against the proliferation the seedy business of slot machines in local pool halls and beverage rooms.

The newspaper called the people who forked out $50 for a slot machine licence “racketeers” who were lining their pockets at the expense of “suckers” who had little chance of winning even the smallest payout.

Studies showed that machines paid the licence holder 67 cents for every dollar gambled. And in many cases, the payout was made in cigarettes or other merchandise sold in the establishment. The newspaper claimed that some licence holders “stooped so low so to allow minors to play the machines.”

The city’s total revenue for the 29 licences issued in 1937 was $1,450, the editorial noted, but a good slot machine could bring in $2,500 a year for the licence holder. It called out “greedy” individuals who took out licences for two machines.

Cornwall Police Department was criticized for not enforcing the slot machine rules and turning a blind eye to illegal activity. The cops said they didn’t have the manpower to make sure illegal activity was not taking place.

“So, while slot machines are robbing the public, the police shrug their shoulders,” the editor screamed.

The paper said city hall should at least get in on the action and start charging $300 for a licence. ********** The medical officer of health for Cornwall put the start of the 1937 school on hold after a sixth case of polio turned up in the city within a few weeks. One of the victims was a 20-month-old. Churches were asked to cease having Sunday School classes and those under the age of 16 were banned from movie theatres.

The same restrictions were in place for Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. The restrictions were lifted two weeks later.

By the end of the month the restrictions were lifted and schools re-opened. A vaccine for polio didn’t arrived until the mid-1950s. ********** James Whitham, president of the locally-owned Palace Amusement Co., announced that the company had purchased the Fusey property on the east side of Pitt Street between Third and Second streets for construction of a third movie theatre expected to be ready in late 1938.

The theatre would have 1,000 seats and air-conditioning.

The company’s first theatre across the street from the Fusey property was built in 1921 and had 750 seats. It would close when the new theatre – to be called The Palace – opened. The company opened The Capitol with 1,250 seats on Second Street West in 1928. ********** For 21 years a Cornwall father believed that his son had been killed in the First World War while serving with the United States Army.

Meanwhile, the son believed that his father had been killed in a lumbering accident while he was serving overseas.

It was not until September 1937 that the two learned that each was alive.

The strange tale started when Zotique Bibeau, living in Maine, received a telegram from the U.S. Department of Defence informing him his son had been killed in action. The Army even paid a $10,000 death benefit. However, turned out that the son, albeit badly wounded, was alive. The Army never informed next of kin of the mistake.

When Joseph Bibeau returned to Maine, he was told that his father had been killed in a lumbering accident, when in fact he had moved to Canada to work in a Cornwall factory.

The senior Bibeau, who lived at 21 Brookdale Ave., said he was shocked when he received a letter from his brother-in-law telling him that his son was alive and living in Maine.

Arrangements were made for the son to re-unite with his father in Cornwall.

LETTERS OF ANNIVERSARY CONGRATULATIONS Mr. Richard Shaver Publisher - Seaway News 501 Campbell Street, Unit 6m Cornwall, ON K6H 6X5

August 31, 2020

Dear Mr. Shaver, On behalf of Canada’s news media industry I am writing to congratulate the Seaway News on its 35th anniversary. The newspaper is a shining example of the strength of Canada’s news media industry and of the community that it serves.

Re: Seaway News – 35th Anniversary Dear Rick, On behalf of the Ontario Community Newspapers Association members, Board of Directors and staff, please accept our warmest congratulations on the 35th Anniversary of the award-winning Cornwall Seaway News.

In 1985 you started what was then called the Seaway Shopping News with then publisher Dick Aubry, and you have been successfully leading the business ever since. For 35 years, Cornwall Seaway News has served as the heartbeat of the community: publishing a rich, vibrant paper every week; providing daily insights and updates on www.cornwallseawaynews.com; delivering flyers to thousands of neighbourhood households; offering many other sources of information and entertainment throughout the year.

Rick, you yourself are a recognized volunteer, community leader and OCNA Hall of Famer who has also invested your own time, energy and resources throughout those 35 years, generously serving your community, charities and the newspaper industry.

Thank you to you and the Cornwall Seaway News team for every one of those 35 years, and wishing you all the best for many more to come.

Now more than ever Canadians are relying on their local newspaper to keep them informed with trusted, quality journalism. The Seaway News has served as the medium of record for the community for 35 years and recorded the many changes that have taken place over that period.

The newspaper itself has also changed and has fully embraced the digital world but has never lost sight of its core mandate of quality journalism.

This has been evidenced in the many awards the paper has received both provincially and nationally.

Congratulations to all the journalists and staff and wishing you all a very happy 35th!

Yours truly,

John Hinds

Sincerely,

Caroline Medwell

Every week for the past three and a half decades, the community has looked forward to catching up on local news and community information by opening your latest edition. Our region has been very fortunate to have such a strong, vibrant publication for so many years.

Over your 35 years in business, the staff and editorial team have developed quite a strong collection of history and documentation of the mariy activities happening in our community. From politics to sports to service clubs to the always interesting ‘Scuttlebutt’ pages, the quality ofreporting and information is one that your team can be proud of.

In today’s challenging media environment, we are seeing the closure of many rural and small city newspapers. Yet, the Cornwall Seaway News continues to face those challenge head on and continues to be a strong business with a reputation of community support and strength.

On behalf of our community - thank you for telling our stories.

Thank you for documenting our history for generations to come.

Thank you for the endless support you provide to numerous community organizations and causes that are making our region a great place to call home.

We wish you all the best in your next 35 years in Cornwall, SD&G, Akwesasne- and beyond. We are lucky to have you in our community!

Arts Centre fund passes $700K

Cornwall’s future arts centre when was opened to the arts community on Thursday afternoon July 26, 2018 (Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News).

NICK SEEBRUCH nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The City of Cornwall Arts Trust Fund which is the supporting the creation of a new Arts Centre at 159 Pitt St. has surpassed $700,000 the Cornwall Arts and Culture Committee states.

The site of the new Arts Centre, formerly a Bank of Montreal building, was purchased by the City of Cornwall in 2018 for $450,000 with an estimated $4 to $6 million required in

renovations to turn it into an arts centre.

Engineers were recently surveying the building so that planning could begin.

“We’ve opened some holes in walls at key locations so that the structural engineers can see exactly how the existing structure is supported,” said General Manager of Parks and Recreation Jamie Fawthrop. “They will also be going into the basement of the restaurant next door so that can have a complete understanding of the neighbouring structures. Once this structural review is complete they will

have their costing consultant prepare a detailed construction estimate for the preliminary floor plan design that’s been developed.

We’ve also recently completed a geo-technical study which will tell the structural engineer the capacity of the underlying soil to bear the weight of the new addition. This information will also be used for the new addition’s foundation design.”

The committee also sent out thanks to Cornwall service clubs who have been contributing to the Arts Centre Fund.

The Kinsmen Club of Cornwall contributed $50,100, the Rotary Club of Cornwall Sunrise $50,000, the Rotary Club of Cornwall, the Lions Club of Cornwall, and the Club Optimiste de Cornwall all also have made contributions.

The Rotary Club of Cornwall Sunrise is holding their annual ‘Mums for Thanksgiving Fundraiser in support of the Arts Centre. For $15 the Rotary Club will deliver a $15 potted chrysanthemum between Oct 2 and 9.

CORNWALL, Ontario – The annual Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Week began today, Monday, Sept. 14 and for the second year, the campaign will be supporting the Cornwall Boys and Girls Club.

“We are in a unique opportunity. The community really loves us. They support us and it is important to return that support,” said Darryn McPhail a local Tim Hortons franchise owner. “For the Boys and Girls Club, it is important to this community because it helps shape our youths future. They provide a community for kids and especially with everything happening this year it is more important to support than ever.”

Traditionally, Tim Hortons has accepted

volunteers to come and help make Smile Cookies during the week, and the COVID-19 pandemic has not changed that, but all volunteers will be subjected to the same screening as any Tim Hortons employee.

Each Smile Cookie is one dollar and that dollar goes directly to the Boys and Girls Club who uses it to support their youth programs in Cornwall and SD&G. “This year, with COVID and all of our fundraisers that had to be cancelled, the impact of these funds could be the difference in being able to operate our programs or not,” said Jacquie Richards, Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Club of Cornwall. “I am doing my happy dance. Sharing a smile feels so good right now.

Smile Cookie Week supports Boys and Girls Club

WILLIAMSTOWN, Ontario - The Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA) and its municipal partners recently wrapped up their annual tree giveaway. A total of 44,000 free trees have been distributed throughout Cornwall and SDG since the event began 21 years ago.

This past weekend, the RRCA and City of Cornwall distributed 500 white spruce at the Pitt Street Pop-Up Shop Containers to those who pre-ordered online. The weekend prior, the RRCA and Township of South Glengarry gifted trees to the first 500 cars as they drove through the 209th Williamstown Fair.

Typically held at Gray’s Creek Conservation Area, the event was expanded in 2020 to host tree giveaways in the heart of each of the RRCA’s member municipalities. In the spring, tree giveaways also took place in the Townships of South Stormont, North Stormont, and North Glengarry in partnership with neighboring Conservation Authority,

South Nation Conservation.

“Tree giveaways are just one of the RRCA’s initiatives to improve forest cover in the region. We also offer tree planting services and native tree seedling sales. Whether you are looking to plant a windbreak, attract wildlife, or simply add to your existing landscape, the RRCA has you covered,” says Lisa Van De Ligt, RRCA Communication Specialist.

The RRCA is on track to add 50,000 trees to the local landscape in 2021 and that number continues to rise thanks to municipal and private landowner partnerships.

Those looking to plant over 500 trees next spring should contact the RRCA soon.

“Landowners can meet with our staff for a free consultation. We will prepare a custom site plan to ensure the best seedling survival, prepare the site, order and plant trees, and conduct follow-up assessments,” adds Van De Ligt. Landowners that enroll in the RRCA’s full-service tree planting program may qualify for cost savings of up to $1.41/tree.

For more information, contact (613) 9383611 or info@rrca.on.ca.

Border mayors take concerns to Blair NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Mayors along the Canada-U.S. border raised concerns and issues they were hearing from their constituents to Public Safety Minister Bill Blair in a virtual meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 8.

Cornwall Mayor Bernadette Clement participated in the discussion and raised issues that ranged from families experiencing hardships due to being separated by the closed border to the need for rapid COVID-19 testing at points of entry.

The Canada-U.S. border has been closed since March to most traffic save for a few exceptions to help combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

The federal government in partnership with the U.S. have regularly extended the closure month-to-month with the current closure scheduled to expire Sept. 21, with the expectation that it will again be renewed.

The meeting with Blair was organized by Sault Ste. Marie Mayor Christian Provenzano and allowed local officials to bring the concerns of their constituents to the federal government.

“It is important always for municipal officials to inform government process because we are the closest to what people are saying in the community,” said Mayor Bernadette Clement.

Clement explained that while most are in favour of keeping the border closed, there are some who are experiencing hardships because of it.

“What I’ve been hearing mostly is that

A screencapture of the virtual meeting of 11 border mayors and Minister of Public Safety Bill Blair on Tuesday, September 8, 2020. people are satisfied with the border closure and that it makes sense for their safety,” she said. “That’s the majority, but I have been made aware of residents who are separated from their families.”

Clement went on to say that she appreciated all of those who reached out to her with their concerns and difficult experiences and that she passed that information on to Minister Blair.

In response, Clement said that Blair told the meeting of the Mayors that within the next few weeks the federal government hopes to unveil a plan to deal with these compassionate cases and ease the hardship.

When the border does begin to reopen, it will be incremental and in partnership with border municipalities.

“We didn’t get the impression that we were on the eve of a reopening yet,” Clement said.

“That is why doing something for those in compassionate situations is so important right now.”

This week Mayor Clement also met with her counterpart Grand Chief Abram Benedict of the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne (MCA), the Canadian Border Service Agency (CBSA) and Bloc Quebecoise MP Claude DeBellefeuille who’s riding of Salaberry—Suroît contains a part of Akwesasne.

The territory of Akwesasne stradles the borders of Quebec, Ontario, and New York State.

The Cornwall Port of Entry is traditionally the tenth most busy border crossing in Canada, mostly thanks to local traffic.

The meeting between the Mayor, Grand Chief, Quebec MP, and CBSA was to ensure that all parties involved at the Cornwall Port of Entry understood the challenges that residents were facing because of the border closure.

“It was a meeting for information purposes so we all understood what this border closure means for Cornwall and for Akwesasne,” said Clement.

World Suicide Prevention Day: You matter NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Thursday, Sept. 10 was World Suicide Prevention Day. This year’s theme for World Suicide Prevention Day was “Working together to prevent suicide”.

The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) offers many local resources and participates in local partnerships to help raise awareness of the many services that are offered and is working to remind those who are going through a difficult time in their lives that they matter and that there is help.

Stephen Douris is a survivor of suicide and depression. In the early 90s after financial difficulties Douris attempted suicide, but aborted the attempt. His then girlfriend now wife helped him find the help he needed and he decided that he wanted to make a difference and help

others.

“Don’t be ashamed to reach out,” he said.

“There is so much help out there right now.”

A new avenue of help that has been developed by the CMHA in partnership with two local youth is designed to help schools and students provide support to those who are in a dark place in their lives.

Allyson Ayotte and Shannon Martens worked together to make a Well Being club at their school, La Citadelle, in Cornwall.

“We wanted to give students a place of security to let them talk to others who might have the same problems, or are just in need of a connection,” said Ayotte. “It is the idea that you are never alone in the world.”

Ayotte took Suicide Prevention Training, and the CMHA partnered with her, and the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) to deliver this pro-

gram in schools across the area.

The COVID-19 pandemic has delayed these plans, but this year will be the first year the Well Being club will be offered at La Citadelle.

Additionally, the CMHA and EOHU have built a new online resource called Ride the Wave.

The website hosts several resources that offer help and advice to those in need or those seeking to help others.

Angele D’Alessio of CMHA offered some advice to those who want to help prevent suicide in the form of the acronym TALK: Tell someone when you are not okay/ tell someone on someone else’s behalf; Ask if something is wrong; L: Listen; Keep the person safe.

Allyson Ayotte and Shannon Martens both were recognized with a certificate of recognition from LivingWorks Education for helping to Allyson Ayotte. build Suicide-Safer-Communities.

Province investing over $2 million in Cornwall and area hospitals NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

:CORNWALL, Ontario – The province of Ontario is investing $2,394,675 in total in the hospitals in Cornwall and the United Counties of SD&G. The Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) will be getting $1,297,904, the Winchester District Memorial Hospital (WDMH) will receive $696,771, and the Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital (HGMH) will receive $400,000.

The money will be used for necessary upgrades, repairs, and maintenance.

“Maintaining hospital infrastructure is

another example of how our government is ensuring that Ontarians have access to health care services they can depend on, especially during these unprecedented times,” said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “Our ongoing investments to support essential projects like repairing roofs and windows and adding more isolation spaces can make a big difference to a patient’s experience. It’s part of our plan to build the capacity we need to end hallway health care in Ontario.”

“These important investments will support infrastructure projects that are essential for ensuring quality of care of patients,” added Jim McDonell, MPP for Stormont-Dundas-South

Glengarry. “It is part of the government’s commitment to increase hospital capacity and end hallway health care.”

The funding is a part of a $175 million investment this year by the province in 129 hospitals.

“Cornwall Hospital is grateful for this investment in critical infrastructure improvements at the hospital,” said Jeanette Despatie, CEO of Cornwall Community Hospital. “These infrastructure investments help to ensure a safe environment for our patients and allow us to constantly improve the quality of care we deliver.”

“We welcome and appreciate this funding,”

said Cholly Bolland, CEO of Winchester District Memorial Hospital. “We want to ensure our building is kept up-to-date to provide the safest possible environment in which to care for our patients.”

Summerstown Trails ask Township for $26K NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

SUMMERSTOWN, Ontario – The Friends of the Summerstown Trails (FOTST) asked the Township of South Glengarry for $26,356 in financial support for the coming fall and winter seasons to cope with COVID-19 related costs.

FOTST President Vic Leroux explained that the past two years have been financially challenging for the Trails.

Leroux told Council that due to ongoing labour actions that were undertaken by teacher’s unions during the 2019-2020 school year meant that they did not have the same financial support from school boards they received in previous years. That hit continued after the COVID-19 pandemic meant that all school outings were cancelled.

Leroux broke down the $26,356 ask to Township Council.

“The funding request is based on the needs and discussions we had with the Health Unit, as well as with the Township Parks and Recreation Department,” he said. “In order to continue with our existence, we believe our rental program has to continue. In order to do that, we need a staff of two on all weekends, Christmas holidays and March Break.”

Staffing alone would cost $12,000, which

would cover two student employees and a casual Township employee.

Furthermore, due to the need to social distance and sanitize equipment, FOTST will require a larger office trailer at the Summerstown Trails this year than in previous years.

This new, larger trailer would cost $8,000.

The remaining money would go towards purchasing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), hand sanitizer, signs, and trail equipment.

For their part, Leroux said that FOTST would be raising funds through a “membership blitz” which he said generated $5,000 in previous years.

Additionally, equipment rentals would generate $3,000 annually.

Leroux said that previous successful events, such as their Family Day activities which Leroux said usually attracts between 300 to 500 people will have to change to maintain safety during the pandemic.

If FOTST did not receive the funding, Leroux said that they would be limited to maintaining the trails and the parking lot.

Council seemed to receive the request positively.

“We are in a time of austerity in regards to the unknowns of COVID, but I think this is a great facility you are running and it bodes well

“In this time of the COVID pandemic, I think it is accepted that outdoor activities are the safest activities. This is the kind of activity we really want to encourage right now,” added Councillor Stephanie Jaworski who pointed out that the province had provided municipalities with COVID relief funding to help offset pandemic related financial pain and that this request could fit within the purpose of those

funds.

Council received the presentation and Mayor Frank Prevost stated that he hoped to have a report back from administration by Oct. 5 on what the Township might be able to offer FOTST. Starting this Sunday, Sept. 13 and continuing throughout the fall FOTST will be providing Ski Walking courses at the Summerstown Trails to help get residents active and ready for cross country skiing season.

cases were in individuals under the age of 40 and that many of them contracted the virus at social gatherings.

“We have had some cases where we have had to get the police involved and we will not hesitate to do so,” he said. “I can see us cutting back on the numbers allowed in public gatherings.”

Since the start of the pandemic, there have been a total of 214 confirmed cases of COVID19 in the EOHU region, 177 which are resolved. Twelve individuals have died of COVID-19 in the EOHU region.

Dr. Roumeliotis said he was uncertain if the jump in cases indicated the start of a second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the EOHU area.

CORNWALL, Ontario – While the COVID-19 pandemic has changed everything, the need to treat pain and work towards physical recovery persists.

Physiotherapists such as Jenny Lee and Natasha Ingram have had to find ways to continue offering their services in a safe and accessible way.

For Lee, she had began her company In-Home Therapeutics before the pandemic had began. Lee is able to offer her clients a portable clinic to meet their physiotherapy needs at home.

Lee explained that even before the pandemic, she saw the need to provide at home therapy.

“The problem wasn’t the lack of motivation of the patient, but there is a disconnect sometimes between getting from point A to B,” she said.

Lee pointed to hurdles such as pain, time, and social discomfort as barriers keeping patients from travelling to clinics to receive treatment.

“The best way to get over these hurdles was to bring the clinic to them,” she said.

Once the pandemic hit an restrictions went into place, Lee’s service became much more in demand.

“COVID has made people realize all they can get done at home,” she said.

Lee is able to offer an at home clinic experience. Equipment she is able to bring with her include exercise machines and an ultrasound machine.

For Natasha Ingram of Move Therapeutics, she and her staff found effective ways to support their clients remotely.

Move Therapeutics closed their office at the beginning of the pandemic to ensure the safety of staff and clients and began to move to a telehealth model.

“At the time, we faced a number of new challenges ranging from software problems, bandwidth issues and monetary constrictions all the while catering to the needs of our patients strictly through video or phone calls,” she said. “However we quickly discovered with telerehabilitation that current and new patients continued to get better at home and really took ownership over their own rehab. In fact, many clients enjoyed not having to leave the house for appointments and loved to show off their pets and kids during online sessions.”

Move Therapeutics reopened their offices in June, and have worked to ensure the continued safety of clients who wish to meet in person.

“We are still providing plenty of virtual (online) assessments and treatments to our patients, as safety is our number one priority,” she said. “For those that come to the clinic, we have maintained our high standards of cleanliness, and all patients entering the clinic wear masks and are screened for COVID-19.”

There have been some BIG things happening at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cornwall & District over the last little bit. As you know BBBS is a program that provides mentors to children aged 6 to 16 throughout our community, this being said when a child is matched, they age out of our program at 18.

This year we have had 5 Littles age out of our program, graduate high school and many of them are off onto their post-secondary adventures both in college and university. When these Littles were younger, they participated in a Dream Keepers program through the agency and fundraised money with their Bigs that was put into a RESP for post-secondary education. I have had the privilege of talking to a few of them this week as they were presented bursaries, and cheques from their RESP as they begin their steps towards their future. When talking to these no longer Littles but now young adults, it was a reminder just how much our mentorship programs work and how beneficial it is to young minds. Throughout this year I have watched the mentors help their Littles fill out applications for scholarships, learn to drive, and prepare them for this big world we live in. Congratulations Littles, we are so proud of you and wish you nothing but success.

September is Big Brothers Big Sisters Month, please keep your eyes peeled on our social media as we celebrate our volunteers, Littles, and community helpers all month long. We couldn’t do all that we do without all of these people and for that we are forever grateful. As always, if you are interested in being a mentor please call our office at 613933-8035 or email kelsey.jeaurond@bigbrothersbigsisters.ca to start the process or learn more about our programs.

Les personnes ayant un abonnement pour la piste ou le terrain de tennis / pickleball du Dome Tim Hortons en vigueur à la fermeture du 15 mars 2020, verront ceux-ci prolongés en conséquence. N’hésitez pas à communiquer avec la coordonnatrice à la programmation pour plus d’informations sur les abonnements.

Complexe sportif de Maxville et district et Palais des sports Glengarry À l’heure actuelle, le canton prévoit une ouverture échelonnée de ses deux arénas. Le canton reconnaît qu’il s’agit d’une situation qui peut changer et à ce titre, l’aréna au Palais des sports Glengarry sera disponible pour la location de glace à partir du 7 octobre, mais seulement après avoir reçu une confirmation de cette date butoir par ces utilisateurs. Le canton prévoit ouvrir le complexe sportif de Maxville et district à mesure que la demande augmente pour la location de glace et continuera à surveiller les demandes de location de la part des utilisateurs. Entretemps, le

personnel du canton préparera des espaces pour des d’activités et de la programmation sur la dalle de béton de l’aréna qui seront accessible au public.

Salles communautaires Les salles communautaires du complexe sportif de Maxville et district, le centre Sandfield à Island Park et le Palais des sports Glengarry sont à la disposition du public. Les salles communautaires au complexe sportif de Maxville et district et au Palais des sports Glengarry peuvent, tout en respectant les directives du Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario, accueillir 50 personnes. Nous vous invitons à communiquer avec recreation@ northglengarry.ca pour louer ces espaces.

Notre personnel vous aidera à déterminer le meilleur emplacement pour le nombre de personnes participant à votre activité afin de respecter les directives COVID-19.

Programmation municipale Le canton offrira également ses cours de yoga en septembre. Les premiers cours seront des cours de rattrapage pour ceux qui ont été annulés lors de la session de printemps.

Les cours auront lieu au Palais des sports Glengarry dont la grandeur permet de respecter les directives de distanciation sociale. Une session d’automne devrait débuter le 5

octobre 2020. Le formulaire d’inscription est disponible sur le site Internet du canton. Toute personne intéressée à participer à cette session peut communiquer directement avec le coordonnatrice à la programmation pour ajouter leur nom à la liste de réservation.

L’objectif est de permettre au public d’accéder aux installations du canton de manière contrôlée et sécuritaire. Le canton est convaincu que les utilisateurs respecteront ces directives mais s’il advient que le personnel constate des violations, cela pourrait entraîner la fermeture de l’établissement pour la journée ou pour une plus longue durée.

ALEXANDRIA, Ontario - Le gouvernement provincial a annoncé cet été qu’il autorisait l’ouverture d’installations récréatives avec des directives pour la distanciation physique afin de permettre au public de participer à certain loisirs. Suite à cette annonce, le canton a travaillé avec ses partenaires sur la réouverture progressive et sécuritaire de ses installations récréatives en mettant en oeuvre des processus et des procédures selon les directives émises par le Bureau de santé de l’Est de l’Ontario et la province.

Parc Island Park et parcs municipaux En juin, suite au processus de consultation avec le Bureau de santé de l’Est de l’Ontario, le public a pu accéder à la plage et les jeux d’eau situés au Parc Island Park à Alexandria.

L’accès à ces installations s’ajoutait aux espaces verts et aux équipements de jeu dans tous les parcs municipaux du canton.

Santé publique travaille avec les conseils scolaires pour gérer les cas de COVID-19 nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario - Le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario (BSEO) et le Bureau de santé du district de Leeds, Grenville et Lanark travailleront en étroite collaboration avec les écoles et les conseils scolaires locaux afin de gérer les cas de COVID-19 pendant la réouverture des écoles ce mois-ci.

Les deux bureaux de santé ont déjà commencé à travailler avec les conseils scolaires à la mise en œuvre des lignes directrices du ministère de l’Éducation pour la réouverture des services de garde d’enfants et des écoles afin de minimiser la propagation de la COVID-19. Des équipes d’infirmiers et infirmières en santé publique ont été mobilisées pour gérer le retraçage des contacts, la gestion des cas et les suivis auprès des écoles et des familles.

Les écoles ont également augmenté leurs procédures de contrôle des infections qui seront activées advenant un cas de la COVID-19. « Notre priorité est de veiller à ce que l’année scolaire soit le plus sécuritaire possible pour tout le monde », déclare le Dr Paul Roumeliotis, Médecin hygiéniste du BSEO. « Avec le retour en classe en personne, il est possible qu’on trouve des cas de COVID-19 dans nos écoles locales.

Cependant, on veut rassurer les parents que des plans sont en place pour identifier rapidement ces cas ainsi que leurs contacts, auxquels s’ajoutent les mesures de

prévention des infections qui aideront à protéger les étudiants et à minimiser la propagation du virus dans les écoles. » S’il y a un cas confirmé de COVID-19 dans une école, la Santé publique commencera immédiatement à travailler avec l’école pour enquêter sur toute exposition possible et pour retracer et isoler les contacts du cas. Les familles seront informées du cas dès que possible et recevront des informations et des instructions. Les parents d’enfants qui peuvent avoir été exposés au cas seront contactés directement par la Santé publique et recevront des directives spécifiques. L’état des cas et des éclosions sera également affiché sur les sites Web des conseils scolaires et de leurs bureaux de santé respectifs, ainsi que sur ceux des écoles qui ont un site Web. L’école activera également ses procédures de contrôle des infections, y compris le nettoyage et la désinfection de la salle de classe et de toute autre zone touchée de l’école. En cas d’éclosion dans l’école, la Santé publique déterminera par son enquête s’il est nécessaire d’annuler les classes ou de fermer l’école.

Le Dr Roumeliotis reconnaît que de nombreuses familles s’inquiètent de la réouverture de l’école et qu’un élément clé de la stratégie de réouverture est de tenir les parents informés. « Nous comprenons qu’une communication transparente en temps opportun est importante non seulement pour aider à atténuer les inquiétudes mais aussi pour garder nos élèves en aussi

bonne santé que possible. » Il ajoute que bien que tous les efforts soient déployés pour tenir la communauté scolaire informée, il existe également une obligation de protéger la confidentialité de toute personne chez qui la COVID-19 est confirmée.

Il demande aux familles d’éviter de spéculer ou de propager des rumeurs sur des cas possibles, surtout en ligne. « Il est important de se rappeler que la vie privée des enfants doit être respectée. Nos enfants méritent de la gentillesse et de la compassion, par opposition à la stigmatisation. » Le Dr Roumeliotis souligne également qu’avec la rentrée scolaire, il y aura un retour inévitable à la propagation des infections courantes telles que le rhume et la grippe qui surviennent chaque année.

Beaucoup de ces infections comprennent des symptômes respiratoires qui peuvent être similaires à ceux de la COVID-19. « Nous exhortons tout le monde à rester vigilant face aux symptômes potentiels de la COVID-19 et à rester à la maison s’ils sont malades ou présentent des symptômes », dit-il. « Cependant, nous mettons également en garde contre les conclusions hâtives selon lesquelles tous les symptômes respiratoires ou les absences de l’école sont liés à la COVID-19, car dans de nombreux cas, les symptômes peuvent être dus à d’autres causes. » La Santé publique et les conseils scolaires demandent aux parents d’utiliser un outil de dépistage anonyme en ligne (aussi disponible en version imprimable) chaque

jour pour déterminer si leur enfant a des symptômes et s’il ou elle peut aller à l’école. L’outil donne également des conseils sur les mesures à prendre si quelqu’un présente des symptômes. Les enseignants, le personnel scolaire et toutes les autres personnes qui entrent dans l’école devront aussi procéder à un auto-dépistage à l’aide de l’Outil d’auto-évaluation pour la COVID19 et rester à la maison s’ils ont des symptômes.

Cornwall & Counties partner to “Spark” tourism NICK SEEBRUCH nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario - The City of Cornwall and the United Counties of SD&G are partnering on a program designed to jump start local tourism industries with new ideas.

The “Spark” Mentorship and Grants Program is being offered in different regions across the province by the Ontario Tourism

Innovation Lab, a non-profit organization dedicated to finding new ways to promote tourism in Ontario.

Cornwall and the United Counties of SD&G are one of six regions included in the 20202021 program and will be launched jointly by the City and Counties on Thursday, Sept. 17.

The program asks for individuals, businesses, or non-profits to submit their tourism idea for consideration, and if successful,

they could receive a $3,000 grant and the support to make that idea a reality.

A panel of judges will review each idea, and promising applicants will be asked to attend a Dragons Den style pitch session.

Three winners will be selected from each region.

In addition to the $3,000 “Spark” grant, winners will also receive three months of mentorship and access to a support

network.

Applications will be accepted from Sept.

17 to Oct. 30. More information on how to apply is expected to be forthcoming in the next week.

As with many things, this year’s contest will work within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a special focus on helping the region’s tourism industry recover.

City goes with four garbage bag limit, for now NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall City Council decided to implement a four bag limit starting Oct. 5, 2020.

Administration had recommended dropping the garbage bag limit from six to two, but Council felt that drop too drastic.

Councillor Carilyne Hébert proposed instead that before dropping the bag limit so drastically, that Council stick with the original plan of drawing down the bag limit gradually. Councillor Hébert put forward a motion proposing a four bag limit with an education drive for households who frequently exceed two bags presently.

A survey conducted in 2019 showed 35 per cent of respondents wanting to see a one bag limit with 34 per cent wanting to see a two bag limit.

The City first implemented a bag limit in April 2019 to help divert more waste away from the landfill and extend the life of the Cornwall landfill. The estimated cost of closing, maintaining, and creating a new landfill is estimated at roughly $36 million.

“On my first day as a Councillor six years ago, I would have been entirely in favour of a two bag limit. Our residents were

promised an incremental phased in approach. As a councillor, you have to balance what is in your heart and what your constituents want,” said Councillor Hébert.

Under the motion that was passed by Council, a four bag limit will come into effect on Oct. 5 and will remain in place until April when Council will consider a further reduction to two bags.

“If you need to go beyond that level of service, you should be paying, as you are contributing to the clutter of our landfill,” said Councillor Hébert. “My plea to my colleagues and to all residents of Cornwall is to embrace this bag limit and to do your part in reducing your footprint and waste.”

Councillor Justin Towndale was one of several councillors who endorsed an incremental approach.

“Our plan was six bags, then four bags, then two bags,” he said. “The six bag limit is high, but it is to get people used to having a bag limit in place. I think we need to have that bag limit that is reduced to four bags.”

Councillor Claude McIntosh said he was skeptical that the bag limit could be reduced any further beyond two.

“Anyone who agrees with a one bag limit doesn’t have kids,” he said. “You can’t

really legislate common sense when people are packing recycling into garbage bags,” Councillor McIntosh went on to add, hoping that further education efforts could be made.

Mayor Bernadette Clement framed the issue as a prospect to support future generations. She told council that she had

spoken to a young woman named Melissa before the meeting. Melissa cleans City Hall and has a nine-year-old daughter who classifies herself as an environmental activist.

“Her young daughter insists on this, demands this, for the future of her community,” said Mayor Clement.

Council extends two hour free downtown parking NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall City Council voted to extend two hour free parking at their meeting on Monday, Sept. 14.

Council approved in June to allow two hour complimentary parking in Cornwall’s downtown until Sept. 14 as a way to stimulate the downtown economy and ease the challenges posed by COVID-19.

Administration prepared a report that included feedback from downtown businesses on the impact on the municipal budget of continuing the free parking program until the end of the year.

The Cornwall Chamber of Commerce sent out a survey to 65 downtown businesses asking for their opinions on downtown parking.

A little less than half of the businesses, 27, responded. Of the respondents to the survey, 93 per cent felt that the free parking program had a positive impact on their business, and 100 per cent wanted to see the program continue.

The stance of downtown businesses ran in conflict with the position of City administration, who wanted to see downtown park-

ing rates return to normal.

In total, management of parking costs the City of Cornwall close to $600,000 a year, or roughly one per cent of the annual tax rate.

Administration warned that the current free program would mean a deficit of over $300,000 in the 2020 budget, a deficit that would have to be accounted for come planning time for the 2021 municipal budget.

Mark Boileau, General Manager for Planning, Recreation and Development for the City of Cornwall explained administration’s stance on the parking issue.

“We provide a service that has a cost of about $600,000,” he said. “It includes enforcement, it includes permits, it includes to some extent to parking lots in the downtowns. It is not an insignificant amount of money. There has been discussion of implementing free parking. We may for example not provide free paid parking. We are always going to have to have enforcement out there whether you have paid parking or not. If you’re not collecting money for it it is going on to the general taxpayers. It is also a burden on businesses that pay for the provision of parking. That money has to come from somewhere. It either has to come from

the general tax base, or it has to come from businesses that provide that service on their own.”

Boileau also pointed out that the City recently spent $130,000 on new parking machines in the downtown, and that while downtwon businesses were greatly in favour of continuing the two hour free parking

program, they were the only Cornwall businesses that were surveyed.

Councillors however decided to keep the program in place, citing concerns about a second wave of the pandemic and possible further hardships to downtown businesses.

Councillors Dean Hollingsworth and Claude McIntosh opposed the motion.

Walking towards recovery NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

A lifetime of wear and tear left Glen Rasmussen with constant pain in his knees.

After undergoing treatment, he is now in recovery and is taking his life back.

A chiropractor by trade, Rasmussen is opening a new rehab business in Cornwall and wants to use his experience and his recovery from his knee surgeries to help heal others.

Once very active, participating in marathons, playing squash, snowboarding and more Rasmussen soon found himself physically limited and in pain from all of the wear and tear, as well as two bike accidents.

After 12 years of pain, Rasmussen recently completed his second total hip arthroplasty and

says that his doctor, Dr. Tombler, is amazed by his rate of recovery.

“Dr. Tombler said I was the second fastest he had ever seen, he could not recall who was number one,” said Rasmussen. “My protocol is a combo of four tried and true methods.”

Rasmussen credits RICE, Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation with his quick recovery.

“I use two-to-three Donjoy Cryocuffs, which is the RICE but I put deep electric stim 0-250 cycles/second Beat frequency,” Rasmussen explained. “Plus, lots of movement. Continuous Passive Motion.” Rasmussen also advocates for Interferential Current (IFC) as an effective tool for recovery. An IFC machine stimulates the body’s nervous system to interrupt pain signals

“I am opening a Rehab business using my 40 years of Sports Medicine,” Rasmussen said. “I have performed this protocol on countless patients.” Rasmussen went on to explain how his methods will help with recovery and reduce

Benefits of Regular Oil Changes Tim Houle Auto Talk The benefits of regular oil changes are many. In order to keep your vehicle performing optimally and to get the maximum life from your engine, your vehicle ABSOLUTELY needs an oil and filter change regularly. Why does your engine need a regular oil change? Let’s keep it simple and highlight some key facts about oil.

Engine oil is a: • Lubricant – Oil, whether it is synthetic or natural is first and foremost a lubricant. After a while the oil will break down and lose its lubricating properties, this is natural and with almost any vehicle this will occur every 3 months of solid driving or 3,500-5,000 miles.

• Coolant – Oil’s lubricating properties reduce friction and pulls heat away from the moving parts of the engine. Also most newer cars have an oil cooler that pumps cooled oil back through the engine to reduce overall temperature.

• Cleaner – Engine oil will filter debris from the crank case and oil galleys. Most oil is also built with detergent packs which keep all

internal moving parts clean. Cheap oil will work for any vehicle but your vehicle can really benefit from the good stuff.

Because engine oil is in constant contact with the many moving parts it can start to collect minor pieces of debris. An oil filter will sift these fine particles of debris out and collect them in its catch. If debris is left to build up the filter can become clogged and the entire system can suffer. Changing the engine oil filter at least every other oil change is recommended to ensure safe operation.

St. Lawrence College receives funding for advanced training, micro-credentials PROVIDED BY ST. LAWRENCE COLLEGE St. Lawrence College (SLC) has received $774,000 from the provincial government to help train people in Eastern Ontario for careers in the skilled trades, advanced manufacturing, and logistics sectors.

The funding, announced last week in Brockville by Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MPP Steve Clark, will support the following two programs for up to 200 participants: Mobile Learning Labs – Skilled Trades and Personal Wellness

Funding of $500,000 will provide technology-enabled experiential learning in the skilled trades including electrical, welding and carpentry, while participants will also learn skills to support healthy, independent living through a Personal Wellness Lab. The learning labs will increase access to in-demand training in remote locations.

Advanced Manufacturing and Logistics Funding of $274,000 will go toward funding 12 micro-credentials in high-demand fields including, inventory and fleet optimization, supply chain software, quality

assurance and compliance, 3-D printing, cloud computing and cyber security. By providing short-duration skills training, this project will support the development of a talent pipeline to ensure continued prosperity and sustainability of businesses.

“We are thrilled by this announcement from the provincial government to enhance skilled trades training, advanced manufacturing, and logistics in our region,” said SLC President and CEO, Glenn Vollebregt. “The college plays a key role in educating, training and supporting career transition. This

funding will allow us to pursue important initiatives that will reach an even wider pool of students which will in turn benefit our communities, and the local economy.”

The funding is part of a $37 million commitment from the Ontario government to help more than 15,000 Ontarians upgrade their skills and train for new work. The projects target students, apprentices, jobseekers, mid-career workers, newcomers and Indigenous peoples.
