CHIEF DANNY AIKMAN

Summer 2020 has been unlike any other.

Thankfully the weather, with the exception of a couple of periods of high heat and humidity, cooperated and allowed us to spend time outdoors to enjoy some of the things we love to do. For me, that meant plenty of golf featuring long walks to clear my mind.

Unfortunately travel and family gatherings were not on the agenda this year. Hopefully 2021 sees a return to the old normal. With the beginning of autumn, we are being warned of a second wave of infections from the COVID-19 virus coming. Recent increases in the number of COVID-19 cases has resulted in the Province of Ontario placing new limits on the number of people able to gather. Effective September 19th, the new maximum number of people permitted to attend organized public events and social gatherings, except where the event is held at a place operated by a business or organization is reduced to 10 people indoors (previous limit of 50) and 25 people outdoors (previous limit of 100). This includes functions, parties, dinners, gatherings, BBQs or wedding receptions (but not ceremonies) held in private residences, backyards, parks and other recreational areas. The new limits for indoor and

CORNWALL, Ontario – Since 1933, the Cornwall Kinsmen Club has raised funds through a range of activities and invested these funds in order to meet the Communities Greatest Needs. These needs change from year to year and thus we adjust the flow of funds accordingly. To assist us in our strategic process we have identified 7 broad categories: Relief of Poverty; Advancement of Education; Culture and the Arts; Health and Welfare; Enhancement of Youth; Enhancement of Public Safety and; Community Service.

Over the last year, a strategic planning process was undertaken internally to determine the levels of funding that would be allocated to each of these broad categories.

All community applications received were reviewed by members of the Cornwall Kinsmen Club and a budget for the year was established. Groups may still submit requests during the year for consideration – application form is available on our web site.

As part of our relief of poverty priority, we are pleased today to announce a donation to Centre 105 in the amount of $ 1,000 to assist in the operation of this valuable service.

Centre 105 serves Cornwall and area’s most vulnerable citizens by freely providing a

outdoor gatherings cannot be combined to form a new capacity limit.

In addition, these new rules do not apply to “monitored social gatherings or organized public events; i.e., social gatherings or organized public events held at a place operated by a business or organization such as cinemas, convention centres, banquet halls, or restaurants, as well as gyms, recreational sporting or performing arts events (who must follow very specific public health and safety guidelines to minimize risk and limit any spread of COVID-19).

Additionally, new enforcement provisions authorize a police officer to temporarily close any premises where the officer has reasonable grounds to believe that a gathering or event is in violation of any gathering limits.

The minimum fine for individuals who organize gatherings at residential premises that exceed the capacity requirements will face a minimum fine of $10,000 and the maximum fine for non-compliance remains at $100,000 and a term of imprisonment of not more than one year. Individuals attending illegal gatherings face a minimum of $750.

Anyone who believes a gathering is not following the law, should report it to the Cornwall Police Service at 613-932-2110. We encourage everyone to do their part to support our health care system and workers at this difficult time and minimize the impact of COVID-19 in our community. Please take COVID-19 seriously and follow public health guidelines, including properly wearing a face mask when in public places, respecting physical distancing and washing your hands frequently.

Be safe and be healthy.

“The alarm bells are ringing” NICK SEEBRUCH nseebruch@seawaynews.media

ONTARIO – Ontario Premier Doug Ford has reduced the maximum number on public gatherings across the province to help stop rising numbers of COVID-19 cases.

Earlier this week, Ford reduced the number of people allowed to gather in public from 50 indoors down to 10 and 100 outdoors down to 25. He is now implementing this reduction province wide.

“A lot of these cases are tied to people who aren’t following the rules,” Ford said in an update on Saturday, Sept. 19.

“People who think it is okay to hold parties, to carry on as if things are back to normal. They aren’t.”

Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health with the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) said earlier this week that he hoped that the province would indeed extend these regulations to the EOHU

region at the very least.

Ford stated that it was important to take immediate action to protect progress made in stemming the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Folks, we can’t have big parties right now, it is just to risky,” he said. “And we can’t have people trying to merge indoor and outdoor parties so don’t try to get around the rules. This is about everyone’s health and safety and we have to crack down on the rule breakers.”

Ford said that his government had proposed legislation to fine organizers of illegal parties with a fine of $10,000 and that under the province’s current emergency orders, party goers can be fined $750.

These restrictions do not apply to staffed facilities such as movie theatres, banquet halls, restaurants and places of worship.

SOUTH STORMONT NEWS

NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

SOUTH STORMONT, Ontario – The Township of South Stormont is seeking feedback from the public on rules around pet ownership.

Dubbed the Responsible Pet Ownership Program, the ultimate goal of which is to create a new animal and pet ownership by-law to address concerns and complaints that have arisen in recent years.

One such incident was a fire in Ingleside in 2019 that had dozens of cats living on the premises, almost all of which perished.

“That kind of thing should be done in a more rural setting,” he said. “A cat rescue

shouldn’t be in a residential area.”

The current by-law limits cat ownership to five in urban areas of the township.

“The Township is undertaking a review of current Animal Services based on best practices, feedback from residents, complaints received, and Council’s direction,” Reads a statement on the Township website. “The goal of the review is to develop a new Responsible Pet Ownership By-law to improve animal services provided by the Township and guidelines to follow to ensure the safety of animals and residents.”

Phase one of the Township’s public engagement plan involves an online survey for South Stormont residents that is currently available on their website.

Phase two, planned for November or December of this year will seek further

Cornwall and Counties seek to spark tourism nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL & UNITED COUNTIES of SD&G, 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 was 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.

The grant funding is being provided by the Tourism Development Corporation of Cornwall which is putting forth $15,000 to support prizes for up to five winners.

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.

“We all felt it this summer. It is all about place making and feeling the vibe,” said Cornwall Mayor Bernadette Clement referring to place making changes done in Cornwall’s downtown to support tourism such as Art Walk, pop-up shops, and more outdoor dining. “At the start of the pandemic,

we thought that tourism would fall to the wayside but people came forward with ideas and adapted. That is what this program is all about, coming up with creative ideas.”

“This program is a great opportunity for the United Counties of SD&G,” said United Counties Warden Frank Prevost.

This year’s Spark program is particularly looking for ideas that support recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and fill gaps in local tourism.

Ideas can be submitted to tourisminnovation.ca/cornwallsdgcounties

Participants are as follows: Nick Seebruch, Chelsea Jodoin, Joshua Santos, Victoria Villalba, Andrew Nielsen, Kat Rendek, Stephen Douris, Mai Liis, and the five members of the Nielsen family.

The goal of this endeavour is to raise awareness about the need for services like the Agapè Centre food bank in the community, and raise funds for that non-profit.

There are roughly 1,400 individuals in Cornwall who depend on food from the Agapè Centre every month, ranging in age from seniors, to young families with children. Even families with pets, get their food for their furry friends from the Agapè Centre.

In addition to the food they get from the food bank, participants also will be able to get their lunches to go from the Agapè Centre soup kitchen. The soup kitchen, which re-opened the week of Sept. 16 served roughly 150 individuals every day prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The Hunger Challenge is a great fundraiser for us,” said Lisa Duprau, Executive Director of the Agapè Centre. “For me, it is more about the educational aspect for the community,” Duprau explained, pointing to the numbers of people who use their services, and the sometimes limited supplies they have to offer.

Duprau herself participated in the challenge in 2019.

“I found it difficult to make meals for myself with what I had,” she said. “Not having all of your ingredients available sometimes, it was really challenging and humbling.”

Duprau explained that the food bank had seen an increased demand on its services since the start of the pandemic, but she was hopeful for the success of this fundraiser given the number of participants who volunteered.

Donations of food that the food bank is always seeking include peanut butter, canned vegetables and meats, pasta and pasta sauce.

Those wishing to support the Agapè Centre financially can donate money through e-transfer to accounts@agapecentre.ca Editor’s note: The author of this article is also a participant in this year’s Hunger Awareness Challenge.

It’s been awhile since I’ve written a column covering multiple topics, but as we move from summer into fall, there have been a few important topics crop up at once. The following are some brief takes on things going on in the city, the United Counties and across the province.

Hunger Challenge This week I start my second year of participation in the Agapè Centre’s Hunger Awareness Challenge. From Monday, Sept. 21 to Friday, Sept. 25, I will be living off of one week’s worth of food supplies from the Agapè Centre’s food bank. Additionally, I also have an allowance of $10 for the week to get any other food supplies I need from the grocery stores. For lunch, I’m allowed to pick up a meal from the Agapè Centre soup kitchen.

I have no worries about keeping my stomach full, but the concern is nutrition and health. The Agapè Centre provides limited canned vegetables, and one meat product from their freezer to their clients. With my $10 I plan on buying whatever protein and vegetables I can.

I enjoy cooking so, I’m optimistic that I can make some delicious food with what I have to work with. For me, it will be a fun challenge, but at the end of the week, I get to go back to my normal life, eating and making whatever I like.

There are at least 1,400 individuals in Cornwall who use the Agapè Centre food bank for whom the challenge never ends. What for me, is a chance to be creative in cooking is an unending reality for many. Donations of food and money can help support those who rely on the food bank during hard times, and can help them get back on their feet by not having to worry about where the next meal is coming from.

To support the Agapè Centre with monetary donations, e-transfers can be sent to accounts@agapecentre.ca.

Bag limit The City of Cornwall passed a motion to drop the bag limit from six to four per-household starting Oct. 5. The goal is eventually to get the bag limit down to two, which is the case in neighbouring South Stormont.

I have seen some complaints about this decrease. There’s real logic behind it and it is a good idea.

Cornwall’s landfill is running out of space. Closing the current landfill, maintaining the site after it is closed, which is required under law, and finding and opening a new landfill all costs money, a lot of money.

There is about 15 years left in the life of Cornwall’s landfill and the cost to close it and maintain the site alone is estimated to cost roughly $36 million.

The longer the landfill lasts, the longer we can stretch out the pain of replacing it.

If your household is having trouble staying under the bag limit, try doing more composting and recycling. There is no bag limit on recycling.

COVID-19 I received a comment last week asking what the difference is between COVID-19 and the common flu. The difference is a fatality rate of between 2.9 and four per cent. That number is according to the World Health Organization.

I have seen comments on social media criticizing the WHO, Canada’s Public Health Officer Theresa Tam, and the local Health Unit’s Dr. Paul for not knowing the truth behind COVID, or violating human rights for insisting on limits on social gatherings and mask wearing.

I trust the world’s medical officials’ stance and advice on COVID-19 over the cherrypicked research of the “experts” on Facebook. Are doctors right all the time, especially about a new disease? No. Also, there will always be some doctors who disagree, but what is the consensus in the medical community, what do peer reviewed research papers say? Sources matter, experience and education matters. No one is an expert in all things, and sometimes we have to admit we don’t know things and defer to an expert.

Also, not having social gatherings and wearing a mask while you are in a store for 10 minutes is such a small inconvenience. The fact is that if we follow the example of the U.S. government and ignore our health experts, people will die who do not have to. How much is a human life worth? Is saving the life of a child, parent, or grandparent, or a stranger worth wearing a mask for 10 minutes?

What do you think of the bag limit, or the rising numbers of COVID-19 cases? Email me a Letter to the Editor at nseebruch@seawaynews.media

Flashback to Education 61 years ago Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

September 1959: my first day as a teacher: under-qualified, under-trained, 19-year old, fresh out of Grade XIII. For the first time in my life I was at the front of a classroom. My students stared at me, I gazed at them. How do I start? Aha! I needed to get their names, all 40 of them: forty boys, ten in grade six, thirty grade sevens.

I handed out index cards: “Please print clearly – last name first, first name last.” All forty complied, Basil Ryan included - as best he could.

It was time for them to be introduced to my name. I printed it boldly on the chalkboard: WOLOCHATIUK. One lad cautiously asked, “But what do we call you?”

“It’s on the board.” Their blank gazes told me it was time for a phonics lesson. On the board I printed WALL-ah-ka-CHUCK. I repeated it, they repeated it, until most of them finally got it right.

That being accomplished, I asked, “What time do you usually have recess?”

From the back of the room a young voice piped up, “Now?” A chorus of other voices chanted, “Now! Now! Now!” We all took it as a joke. That’s when I made my commitment to them: “You do your best for me, I’ll do my best for you, and we’ll all have a good year.”

Our social contract worked well.

After about two weeks of teaching, I received two letters from parents. One stated I was “…too strict, far too demanding…”

I felt humbled, chastised, corrected, almost ready to consider changing my teaching style,

the one I had been exposed to during my six years under the regime of the Basilian priests at Toronto’s St. Michael’s College School.

I apprehensively opened the second letter: “Congratulations! Finally, we have a teacher who can establish some discipline and has some worthy expectations of our son!”

There’s a saying, “Just because a dog barks, you don’t stop where you’re going.” So what did I do? I listened to both parents’ opinions, then continued on, doing what I felt was best.

At first parent-teacher meeting several months later, a ‘Mrs. Basil’ introduced herself as being Ryan’s mother – “Sorry Ma’am, I don’t have a ‘Ryan’ in my class.” That’s when I found out that her Ryan was really the boy I was calling ‘Basil’. He got ‘Christian name’ and ‘surname’ reversed. I should have used the term ‘family name’.

In September 1959 there was no debate about on-line versus in-class teaching, social distancing, or wearing face masks. The big question was this: “Should children be allowed to use ball point pens?” There was a fear that cursive handwriting skills would suffer if they were allowed into schools.

How the world has changed!

OPINION

Checking on their movements Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

The union representing 70 Cornwall public works employees accused him of harassment and spying on them while they worked.

Ald. Roy Brunet had a different take on it.

He called it “his duty” to make sure they (city employees) were doing what taxpayers were paying them to do and that it was just a coincidence that many times he “just happened” to be in the area where they were working on outdoor job sites.

It all came to a head on Sept. 25, 1969 when the 70 members of CUPE walked off the job after it was alleged the alderman was seen taking pictures of them at a work site while hiding behind a tree.

“He (Brunet) is constantly shadowing them (city workers) and checking on their movements,” said the union president.

The men returned to work half an hour later after an emergency meeting at city between the mayor, senior administrators and union representatives.

In an editorial, the Standard-Freeholder said it was highly unlikely the alderman “just happened” to be at job sites. It noted that a month earlier, when his “spying” activity was challenged by a colleague, Brunet shot back that he would “continue to do so until I’m jailed or forced to resign.” ********** In September 1969, Royal Canadian Mounted Police said drug trafficking - hashish and LSD at the top of the list - was on the rise in Cornwall.

Cpl. Lloyd Larose, in charge of the five-man detachment based in Long Sault, noted that so far in 1969 his officers had charged 31

persons with drug trafficking, up from eight in 1968 and none in 1967.

He said those charged were males aged 18 to 25, unemployed and without criminal records.

“There are more (illegal) drugs in Cornwall than other Ontario cities of comparable size,” he said. (Some would say it still is).

Larose said the huge spike in drug investigations was overwhelming his small staff of five but pointed out that they were helped by Cornwall Police Department and the Ontario Provincial Police. ********** In September 1969, Mohawk activist KahnTineta Horn said she was not giving up on her bid to have a Cornwall police officer charged with assault and kidnapping.

On Sept. 24 Crown attorney Malcolm MacDonald turned down Horn’s demand that the charges be laid.

On Dec. 18, 1968 Horn was arrested by city police while taking part in a blockade on the Seaway International Bridge related to alleged violations of the Jay Treaty.

Horn was arrested at the scene and charged with carrying an offensive weapon (a knife). She was acquitted a few weeks later.

She planned to take her case to AttorneyGeneral John Turner. ********** The County Public School Board in September 1969 was struggling with finding enough space for increased secondary school enrolment.

Trustees were told that the three city high schools - General Vanier, St. Lawrence and Cornwall Collegiate - were over capacity. The three schools had a total of 5,000 students.

St. Lawrence was using two portables and class rooms at the former Holy Cross Secondary School, while General Vanier had 12 port-

LETTERS

able class rooms.

Administration recommended two new high schools, one in Cornwall and the other in North Stormont. It was noted that the three city schools had 622 rural students.

One proposal for a new city school was to purchase Holy Cross for $405,000 and retrofit in for a fourth city high school.

ALSO THIS WEEK IN 1969 - City council adopted a pay-as-you-go policy that would over several years eliminate city debt and the need to borrow. ... The city’s social services department was using some tough love to bring down the number of people collecting welfare. Administrator Francis Flanigan told council that employable recipients were required to report to the social services office to “explore job opportunities” and discuss their attempts to find a job. As a result, the number of employable people on welfare was reduced by 70%. ... Despite some suspicious evidence, a coroner’s jury ruled that the drowning death of a 19-year-old Cornwall resident in a quarry on Richmond Drive was accidental. The hearing was told that two motorcycle gangs were partying at the quarry on the night of the drowning. The man’s empty wallet was found on the bank and a ring, which his parents said was difficult to remove, was missing. ... For his fifth conviction on being intoxicated in a public place, a city man was sentenced to 30 days in jail. ... The Fisherman’s Wharf eatery opened on Montreal Road. ... Instead of starting a third season with the Tulsa Oilers, former Cornwall Royals’ star Jean Payette was enrolling at St. Francis Xavier University. “I think I’m doing the best thing,” said Payette who would become a high school teacher. ... Gary Herrington, Gerry Campeau, George Rodney and Barry Brooks scored as Cornwall Royals tied Rosemount 4-4 in a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League game.

FROM FAR AND WIDE Donald Trump has done wonders for the book publishing industry. His first term is still several weeks from expiring and he has been the subject of dozens of books, all aimed at discrediting his presidency. Trump’s autobiography should be a dandy. ... Canada’s Parliamentary Budget Officer calls the current federal out-of-control spending that has created a record deficit unsustainable. In the next two years he said the government has two choices: new taxes, huge spending cuts or a combination of taxes and cuts. ... Just another weekend in Chicago: 53 shot, 10 killed. ... In a Gallup Poll, 83% of residents in black neighbourhoods say police defunding will make their ‘hoods more dangerous. ... Is there a bigger collection of dysfunctional families (aka screw-ups) than found among Hollywood nesters?

THIS AND THAT A Toronto-based developer plans to build a $115 million water park complex on 255 acres along Highway 2 between Brockville and Cardinal. It will include a 140room hotel, convention centre, sports bars and restaurants. ... Steps are being taken to re-name Toronto’s Dundas Street. It makes you wonder how Swastika (Northern Ontario) has survived the name-change crusade. The icon that the Nazis turned into a symbol of hatred and racism, is banned in Germany.

TRIVIA In 1873 Cornwall resident Thomas Murphy introduced this business to the town: 1) Coal delivery, 2) Tailor shop, 3) Barber shop, 4) Taxi service, 5) Blacksmith.

TRIVIA ANSWER Fess Parker had the lead role in Davey Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier (1955). His sidekick George Russell was played by Buddy Ebsen.

Wood - Burning Emissions Threaten Lung Health. In some places wood burning is the major source of particle pollution. Nitrogen oxides. Nitrogen oxides harm health indoors and outdoors, and helps to creat particle pollution . Volatile organic compounds.

Because trees absorb many kinds of manmade pollutants, and these substances

accumulate in wood fibre, burning wood from trees releases these concentrated toxins back into the air. Health hazards include chemicals such as benzene, formaldehyde and benzo-a-pyrene.

I know that we all love a small fire and the smell of burning wood and roasting marshmellows , but we have to think of people who

have breathing problems, and it could be your neighbour next door.

So I have to agree with Councillor Glen Grant. Re the update about wood burning in Cornwall ON. You are allowed but with restrictions which make sense.

Derek Sheppard Cornwall, Ontario 273067

Dear Editor.

While the hazardous health effects of wood burning pollution increase with the levels in the air, scientists have found that there is no level of particle pollution that is NOT unhealthful. The basic rule of thumb is this : If you can smell wood smoke, you are breathing pollution that is hazardous to your health.

Les élèves du CSDCEO célèbrent la rentrée de façon virtuelle COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LA CSDCEO ONTARIO - La rentrée scolaire échelonnée a débuté le jeudi 3 septembre dans toutes les écoles catholiques de langue française. Cette année ce sont plus de 10 100 élèves qui ont été accueillis de façon différente dans les 25 écoles élémentaires, les 7 écoles secondaires et l’école virtuelle du Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO). Encore une fois cette année, les inscriptions sont à la hausse dans les écoles du CSDCEO. Afin de marquer cette rentrée bien particulière, une célébration virtuelle de la Parole a eu lieu le 18 septembre. Les élèves ont pu participer à distance à cette célébration qui est une tradition bien établie au CSDCEO. De plus, cette année, avec les circonstances exceptionnelles de la pandémie, la célébration se voulait un moment de recueillement et d’apaisement pour tous afin de prendre conscience de la bonté du Seigneur malgré ces moments difficiles. « Je tiens à remercier tous les membres du personnel qui ont fait en sorte que cette rentrée scolaire extraordinaire soit un succès. J’aimerais également remercier les parents pour leur confiance et leur grande collaboration. Cette année scolaire apporte de nouveaux défis que nous relèverons avec brio ensemble, afin d’assurer la sécurité et la réussite de tous nos élèves. », de partager M. François Turpin, directeur de l’éducation et secrétaire.

Le Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO) est le plus grand réseau d’écoles de langue française dans les cinq comtés de Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, Prescott et Russell. En plus d’avoir le plus haut taux de diplomation de la région (93,9 %), le CSDCEO offre des programmes pour la réussite de tous les élèves, des

valeurs catholiques, un français de qualité et un certificat de bilinguisme. Le CSDCEO assure l’éducation à plus de 10 100 élèves, répartis dans plusieurs centres de la petite enfance (garderies), 25 écoles élémentaires, 7 écoles secondaires et le Centre d’éducation et de formation de l’Est ontarien (CÉFEO).

C’est pourquoi, avec la collaboration de responsables de la santé, de conseils scolaires et d’éducateurs, le gouvernement de l’Ontario a élaboré un plan exhaustif qui permettra de veiller à la sécurité des élèves et du personnel.

• Des mesures visant le respect de la distance physique seront appliquées : séparation des pupitres, affiches, indications au sol et couloirs à sens unique.

• Le port du masque sera obligatoire pour le personnel et les élèves de la 4e à la 12e année.

• L’hygiène des mains sera renforcée grâce à la désinfection et au lavage des mains.

• Il y aura plus de personnel infirmier dans les écoles.

Payé par le gouvernement de l’Ontario.

• Les mesures visant le nettoyage des écoles seront améliorées.

3 MINUTES WITH THE MAYOR

FRANK PREVOST SOUTH GLENGARRY

As students return to school and we approach the autumn season, our community remains vigilant on keeping the health and safety of South Glengarry a top priority. Fall in South Glengarry brings great opportunity to enjoy the season as harvests begin, recreational activities return, and fall foliage and natural areas are at their most beautiful. As we head into cooler temperatures, we ask our residents to continue to respect safety

partner with the Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA) to participate in this year’s 209th Williamstown Fair where Council and RRCA representatives safely handed out white spruce trees as part of the Township’s annual tree giveaway. On behalf of South Glengarry, we are pleased and proud to have the Williamstown Fair in our community and appreciate all their efforts. Ice surface at the CharLan Recreation Centre in Williamstown is scheduled to re-open on Monday, September 21, 2020. To ensure everyone’s safety, please visit the Township website for important information on what to expect before returning to the ice. To reserve ice time, contact the Township Recreation Department at 613-3472411. Please note that the Public Skating, Teen Skate, and Tiny Tots Skating programs will not be offered at this time. Our Recreation Staff asks participants to please be mindful of drivers and pedestrians in the Char-Lan

Recreation parking lot as both schools will be using the arena’s parking lot due to COVID-19 restrictions. Parking may be limited and congested at times. Drivers entering the parking lot are asked to drive slowly, carefully and to park appropriately. As our community heads towards the Thanksgiving Weekend in October, it is vital that the community continues to stay safe and be mindful while going out in public or attending gatherings of any kind. Avoid close contact with individuals by respecting social distancing and wearing a mask, always stay home and away from others if you have symptoms, even if they are mild and be sure to stick to small and consistent social circles.

The Township of South Glengarry will continue to follow local public health advice and thanks the public for their continued efforts in keeping our community safe.

Take care, stay healthy and be well.

Sincerely, Mayor Frank Prevost

JOKE OF THE WEEK

Two elderly women were eating breakfast in a restaurant one morning. Ethel noticed something funny about Mabel’s ear and she said, “Mabel, did you know you’ve got a pill in your left ear? “ Mabel answered, “I have a pill?” She pulled it out and stared at it. Then she said, “Ethel, I’m glad you saw this thing. Now I think I know where my hearing aid is.”

Another Cornwall earth angel. extended periods out side of the school block when they just spent money on new The Cornwall and Area Job Fair is happening parking lot. These buses cause blind spots online this year. For more information and to and you have trouble viewing the kids register, find them on eventbrite.ca and the multiple cars that show up. Half the cars do not even slow down Pescod is I see that Spirit Halloween is back and open an expressway. It’s especially concerning already at the Cornwall Square. Are people real- when they are doing construction all ly getting their Halloween costumes picked out around the area. GET THE SCHOOL BUSES OFF THE ROADS! It’s not a parking lot.

40 days before the event?

Recent changes for teachers at the UCDSB make it sound like administration are asking them to do it all while standing on their heads at the same time.

Land near Coopers Marsh may be rezoned residential, paving the way for development.

There is already a petition circultating against this idea. Where do you fall? Could development bring in extra tax revenue, or are our outdoor wildlife areas priceless?

Séguin Patate’s Agapè Centre fundraiser sees success NICK SEEBRUCH nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Séguin Patate’s second annual fundraiser for the Agapè Centre raised $2,010, exceeding their total from last year.

On Saturday, Sept. 5, Séguin Patate held their last day of the season at their Marlborough St. location. All sales that day went to support the Agapè Centre and all staff donated their time to work that day.

“We are glad to give back to the community,” said Séguin Patate owner Jason Shoot. “We want to give back and we feel it is our duty as business owners to give back to the community.”

Lisa Duprau, Executive Director of the Agapè Centre was thrilled to once again be the beneficiary of this fundraiser.

“The Agapè Centre is thrilled to be on the receiving end of this generous fundraiser by Séguin Patate,” Duprau said. “Knowing that staff are volunteering their time on Sept. 5, shows how supportive our community truly is.”

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall and Area Chamber of Commerce has gone through significant changes over the past year, but Executive Director Greg Pietersma is confident that the organization is on track to bring the best service it can to its members.

Over the course of this summer alone, the Chamber has ended its relationship with ServiceOntario and moved out of its former home at 113 Second St. E and into a new office at 55 Water St. The Cornwall Chamber had owned the building on Second St., but chose to sell it last October as a part of a rebranding strategy.

“What the Chamber learned from the pandemic is that there is more reason than ever to make changes,” said Chamber President Shannon Lebrun at the Chamber’s Annual General Meeting on Sept. 22.

Lebrun explained that the rebranding was a part of an effort to provide more value to members and that the pandemic accelerated this shift.

“It became clear the Chamber was stretched between different priorities. While these priorities generated revenue, it distracted from our directive,” she said. “We truly believe that Cornwall is an ideal place to grow and start a business and we are excited to be a part of that journey.”

The Chamber also launched a Shop Local initiative.

The Shop Local Cornwall and Area website aggregated a list of local businesses and helped owners connect with their customers throughout the pandemic.

Pietersma explained that the current philosophy of the Cornwall and Area Chamber of Commerce was being guided by three main pillars and they are: 1.

Advocating for local businesses 2. Providing access

to knowledge, resources, and support and 3. providing opportunities for members by leveraging the the combined experience and power of that membership base.

Ways that Pietersma has sought to implement these pillars has included a closer relationship with the city’s two Business Improvement Associations (BIAs), the Downtown BIA and the Le Village BIA. The Chamber is now providing not only advocacy, but also coordination for the BIAs, organizing meetings and the like. Most recently the Chamber surveyed the BIAs on whether or not Cornwall City Council should extend two hour free parking in the downtown.

Effectively, the Chamber has take over the role once served by the Heart of the City Coordinator, although at a savings.

At the AGM, Chamber members filled vacant seats on its board of directors, reviewed financial statements from the previous year, and passed new by-laws.

Josée Payette, of Johnston and Beaudette Chartered Accountants gave an overview of the Chamber’s finances in 2019.

Payette said that the Chamber had a “status quo” year in 2019, ending with a small deficit of $766.

She went on to say however, that because of the changes with ServiceOntario and selling their old building, future years will look very different.

“I have a feeling that when we have this conversation next year, the financial position of the organization will have changed drastically,” she said.

The Chamber confirmed five members to their 12-member board of directors. Lynn Chauvin, Bill Makinson, Shannon Lebrun, Joel Marleau and Kristin Davey were all newly confirmed or re-confirmed to their positions on the Board.
