From all of us at the City of Cornwall, councillors and staff, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. This may be the most unusual holiday season we have ever experienced. This community continues to show generosity and kindness despite pandemic challenges. Thank you for looking out for your neighbours, shopping locally, and donating when you can to local non-profit groups.
I hope you can take some time to feel the warmth of the holidays. There are beautiful light displays throughout our community – from the Brookdale roundabout and Clock Tower in Lamoureux Park, to decorated neighbour-
hoods, to Gray’s Creek Holiday Sparkle. When I look back at this year, I will think about the stress of the pandemic, of my parents’ health challenges, and of pivoting on a near-weekly basis as COVID-19 affected every facet of my personal and professional life. I will also think about the many, many little acts of kindness we all witnessed. Remember when window displays and
driveaway chalk art kept us going during the early pandemic days? And when this community showed up, day after day, to support local businesses? This is my wish for 2021 – that we carry the positives with us, no matter what lies ahead. Be kind and stay safe! Bernadette Clement, Mayor of Cornwall
I don’t think many elected officials have started their year-in-review with the following type of statement: I am anxious to put 2020 behind us and look forward to a much improved 2021. I had quite a list of priorities that I had hoped to tackle, when I was elected as your Member of Parliament. Like most of you, however, when the COVID-19 pandemic took front and centre in March, I had to set aside my plans and confront the financial and health crisis before us. Since Parliament has resumed in a
hy b r i d format in September, however, I have been able to move some of these priorities forward. While serving as a Member of the Official Opposition, it can be a frustrating exercise to get the government to agree with your proposals. I am proud to ser ve as the new Question Period Co-ordinator, a key role for pressing the
government to act on our ideas to help Canadians and small businesses. Erin O’Toole and our Conservative team taken a pragmatic and reasonable approach throughout the response to COVID-19. We supported programs when they were timely and helpful, but called out corruption and a lack of transparency when it was warranted. In 2021, we will make sure vaccines are safely delivered as soon as possible so we can put this pandemic behind us and focus on our economic recovery.
My constituency team and I will be there to help navigate that recovery. We will be here for you to assist with any challenges you encounter from income taxes, audits, or other issues to immigration or passport services. Although Christmas will be celebrated differently this year, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year filled with success and happiness. I’m ready to get 2021 underway! Eric Duncan, MP Stormont, Dundas, South Glengarry
After a year of challenges like no other in the past 100 years, conditions are finally lining up to allow 2021 to be one of renewal and recovery. By this time next year, I am optimistic that we will be well on our way to remaking our region to be one of the best places in the world to live, work, and raise a family. Any reflection of 2020 should start with
our front-line workers’ tremendous sacrifice and tireless hard work, especially early on when so little was known about the virus and its health impacts. This year’s pandemic changed everyone’s lives
in this country, and I often was asked about the changes at Queen’s Park and my role in Toronto. There was the obvious difference of the summer session required to debate and push through legislation to address Ontarians’ needs. The government and the opposition reached an agreement on some temporary changes that allowed the Legislature to continue safely. The pandemic also generated a considerable increase in the number of enquiries and requests for service that my constituency staff and I had to handle remotely. This new method of remote service presented challenges for the
public as well as for ourselves. I want to thank you for your cooperation. This Christmas holiday season will be different this year as we continue to follow health guidelines and take the precautions necessary to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus. By planning ahead and using alternative ways to gather virtually, I am sure we will be able to share in the joy of wishing each other a very Merry Christmas and the very best in 2021. As always, remember to stay safe and please don’t drink and drive. Jim McDonell, MPP Stormont, Dundas, South Glengarry

HOLIDAY MESSAGES
CORNWALL, Ontario – For more than 70 years, the Cornwall Children’s Christmas Fund has helped to make sure that those less fortunate still have a Merry Christmas. This year, the need was even greater due to the COVID-19 pandemic. An army of volunteer from local service clubs was deployed to the Cornwall Civic Complex. The ice rink of the Ed Lumley Arena at the Complex was completely covered with stacks of boxes of food and toys donated to the cause.
“There are needy people in Cornwall and we wanted to do all that we can to help,” said Peter Morgan, this year’s Chair of the Fund. “I think this is the best we’ve done.” There was around $70,000 alone in donations of food. The fund was distributed through both delivery, and drive through pick-up on Friday, Dec. 18 and Saturday, Dec. 19 with cars lined up out of the Cornwall Civic Complex Parking lot and all the way back to Brookdale Ave. along Water St. The Kinsmen Club of Cornwall offered their support by contributing $4,500 to the Fund this year.
Province wide lockdown starts Boxing Day NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
ONTARIO – Premier Doug Ford announced on Monday, Dec. 21 that the province would be entering a lockdown on Boxing Day, Saturday, Dec. 26 at 12:01 a.m. in an effort to stem the spread of COVID-19 over the holidays. “It will be months until we have mass immunization,” Ford said. “In the meantime we need to do everything in our power to protect our hospitals and our most vulnerable. We need a runway for the vaccine to roll out. That’s why, after consulting with the Chief Medical Officer of Health, listening to hospital CEOs and other health experts and extensive discussions at the cabinet table and caucus throughout the weekend, I am announcing today that Ontario will enter a province wide shutdown . . .” “This difficult action is without a doubt
necessary to save lives and prevent our hospitals from being overwhelmed in the coming weeks,” he added. “As Premier, it falls on me to make the difficult, but necessary decisions.” Ford asked that during the lockdown that all residents only leave the house when necessary, such as doing groceries, doctors appointments or going to work if work from home is not possible. Individuals who live alone may consider exclusive contact with one other household. Essential businesses such as grocery stores and pharmacies will be open, but at reduced capacity, to a maximum of 50 per cent of total capacity. Big box stores that sell groceries will be limited to 25 per cent capacity for indoor shopping. All non-essential businesses will be open for curbside pick-up, drive thru, and delivery only. Ford said that the lockdown would last two weeks in northern Ontario and 28 days in
southern Ontario, but did not rule out the possibility of the lockdown being extended past that time. Elementary and high school students will also have their winter breaks extended to Jan. 11, when they will return to virtual learning only. In person classes are expected to resume on Jan. 25. “These are decisions that are extremely difficult, but they are absolutely critical, and I know how much our businesses are struggling,” Ford said. “We will be launching the new Ontario Small Business Support grant Premier Doug Ford announcing a province which will provide a minimum of $10,000 wide lockdown on Dec. 21. and up to $20,000 to eligible small business owners to help them through this challenging “I do know that this is going to create time.” some stress for families,” she said. “It is Cornwall Mayor Bernadette Clement said going to be hard to deal with at this particular that she would be closely reviewing the time. What I will say, is that there is a horiPremier’s announcement, and was already zon,” Clement added referring to the COVIDgetting calls from residents seeking more 19 vaccines that were being delivered to information.

Regional municipalities receive $1.185 million from province NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
CORNWALL, Ontario – Stormont, Dundas, South Glengarry MPP Jim McDonell announced that his riding had secured an additional $1.185 million in funding from the Safe Restart Agreement. This funding will be used by the municipalities to help offset operating costs incurred by the COVID-19 pandemic and to help ensure that the municipalities do not carry a
deficit into 2021. “This funding will provide our community with the support it needs to continue delivering critical services that we all rely on everyday,” said MPP McDonell. “Today’s announcement will help these municipalities develop a 2021 budget that reflects the reality of COVID-19 and give them the confidence they need to proceed with capital projects that will drive economic growth.” The funding per municipalities is:
City of Cornwall $538,000 United Counties of Stormont-DundasGlengarry $353,000 South Glengarry $72,000 South Stormont $68,000 South Dundas $60,000 North Dundas $59,000 North Stormont $35,000 The Township of North Glengarry is also set to receive $59,000. “This joint funding will help Ontario’s
municipalities recover from the impacts of COVID-19 faster, by helping them to enter into 2021 without operating deficits from this year,” said Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. “By ensuring our municipal partners are in a sound financial position to begin the new year, they can better focus on keeping their capital projects on track while continuing to provide the critical services their residents rely on.”

Merry Christmas
MAYOR CHRISTMAS MESSAGES As we come to the end of what was a very difficult year, its important to reflect and see beyond the struggles we have all experienced due to the pandemic and remember that there were plenty of positives as well! Despite the adaptations that were required because of COVID-19, Township staff and Council were committed to maintaining or improving services to our residents. We implemented much improved online services, utilizing the brand new southstormont.ca website. These measures were vital throughout the pandemic to ensure residents continued to have access to services while the office was closed the public. We will continue to develop our
online services to supplement in-person service to find efficiencies to provide improved services. We have also made some strides toward improving the access to our waterfront with a new Waterfront Development Plan. With a much-improved relationship with the St. Lawrence Parks Commission, including CEO, Hollee Kew, and Board of Commissioners Chair, Bob Runciman, we are positioned well to implement many of the recommended improvements to our
waterfront areas. While the development plan is a long-term plan, we hope to begin certain aspects of the plan in 2021. While the pandemic continues to affect each of our lives, the Township has some exciting plans for 2021 to move our communities forward. We have seen record levels of building permits issued in the Township across both commercial and residential development in 2020. We have some high-profile development projects occurring in the Township over the coming months and years. Woodland Villa will nearly double the size of their long-term care facility, Wills Transfer Ltd. Will be welcomed to the Ingleside Industrial Park as they plan
to open a new logistics and warehousing facility, and we are hoping to see some exciting development south of the 401 in Long Sault, so stay tuned for more details on that in 2021! We are hopeful we have seen the worst of the pandemic and we can return to “normal” in 2021, but your Township Council and staff will be prepared to move forward and continue to progress regardless of the curveballs and new challenges we face in 2021. From all of Council and staff, have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Sincerely, Mayor Bryan McGillis
As we head into the holiday season, there is no doubt things will look different this year. We’ve been asked to stay home and avoid family and social gatherings and adapt a new way of enjoying our beloved holiday traditions. As hard as this will be, we must make these sacrifices in order to keep everyone safe. We have seen overwhelming support for our small business owners, as residents have chosen to shop and eat locally, helping our economy and showing that as a community we care about each other’s success.
This past year South Glengarr y had many notable achievements despite the pandemic. We have finalized our plans for the new Public Works Facility on Airport Road, completed the reconstruction of William Street in Williamstown along with completing the roads resurfacing project on the Glen Road. The South Glengarry Community Improvement Plan has helped local businesses invest
$22,700.00 in building enhancements and has granted $14,905.00. I would like to thank the South Glengarry Fire Services and Emergency Services for being able to keep our community safe this past year and handle their new protocols due to COVID-19 with confidence and professionalism. As Warden of the County, it has been my pleasure to work alongside our colleagues across SD&G in focusing on helping our aging population through the funding of upgrades to both Dundas Manor and Maxville Manor. The county completed a
major rehabilitation project at Gray’s Creek Bridge, which impacted South Glengarry motorists for much of the year. I fully expect good news in the New Year with respect to a COVID-19 vaccine, and I can honestly say that it feels like there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel. Wishing everyone a safe and joyful holiday season and wishing 2021 will bring good health and prosperity to all. Frank Prevost, Mayor of South Glengarry Warden of the United Counties of SD&G

SOUTH STORMONT FIRE AND RESUCE
Holiday Safety – Cooking, Smoking and Alcohol… A Dangerous Mix The holidays can be one of the most dangerous times of the year for home fires. All too often, these fires are started by careless cooking or smoking. In many cases alcohol is involved. Here are some holiday tips to keep you and your family safe: 1. Stay in the kitchen when cooking. 2. Drink responsibly. 3. If you smoke, smoke outside. 4. Install and test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and practice your home fire escape plan with all guests and family members. On behalf of the Fire Chief and all members of South Stormont Fire and Rescue, we wish you a safe and happy holiday season!

Holiday Sparkle ends on a bright note, raising over $16,000 for the United Way
At this time of year, our thoughts turn gratefully to those who have made our progress possible.
PROVIDED BY THE HOLIDAY SPARKLE TEAM SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario - Gray’s Creek Holiday Sparkle celebrated its final evening of their drive-through light experience, last night, December 20th. After an extremely successful couple of weeks and the joy it brought to the community, the Holiday Sparkle team wants to thank all of their sponsors, donors, volunteers, tree decorators, businesses, partners, and so many more for making the event a success! A few partners who helped make the event possible on the ground, were both Cornwall Tourism and the Raisin Region Conservation Authority. The event organizer, Kelly Bergeron, had this to say about the outpouring of support: “The Holiday Sparkle event snowballed into something so much bigger than we imagined and surpassed all of our expectations. The event also served to highlight the benefits of placemaking initiatives and the positive benefits they bring to a community.” The event was free but donations were welcome and overwhelming. With over $16,000

raised for the United Way and over 15,000 pounds of food raised for the Agape Centre, the event’s organizers are so grateful for the tremendous support that came from all corners of the community. Some of the other key accomplishments included: Over 5300 vehicles were booked to drive through Gray’s Creek. Raised over $570 in monetary donations to the Agape Centre. Dozens of volunteers signed up, many who we had to put on a wait list, due to the abundance of sign ups. Over $10,000 in monetary sponsorships helped cover the cost of lights and installation. Over $20,000 of in-kind donations made the event possible, many organizations and businesses loaned generators. This past Saturday Holiday Sparkle was the backdrop of a wedding proposal.

Some of the contrived, convoluted spellings and questionable accuracy contained in this column may make literate Ukrainians wince. To them, my apologies. I am completely un-schooled in the Cyrillic alphabet and unfamiliar with the erudite writings the like of Taras Shevchenko. However, the 1976 art book “A Northern Nativity” by William Kurelek brings alive the true meaning of the Christmas message for today, whether you’re Ukrainian, Canadian, British, Muslim, Jewish, agnostic or Atheist. Until the age of five, I lived in the Northern Ontario village of Coniston. Our neighbourhood wasn’t much different from living in the boonies of Kiev. We moved to Toronto in 1944, my Ukrainian ‘GEE-doh’ (grandfather) coming to live with us. I soon discovered Ukrainian was not the language spoken on the streets, nor in my grade one classroom. The first time I went to a restaurant (Tennessee Restaurant, Queen St. West), the waitress asked, “And how would you like your eggs?” Yooshka” I replied. Looking down at me, she repeated the question. It was then I realized I didn’t know the term for ‘once over lightly’, so I blurted out “Scrambled!” As with many nationalities, not only food is passed around the dinner table. One’s root culture is also on the menu. And now, Christmas, my memories of Ukrainian Christmas. Christmas Eve is on January 6, Sviata vechera (‘holy supper’) is celebrated. Remember, traditional Ukrainians follow the Julian calendar, not the Gregorian. That’s how Ukrainians grab free Christmas trees at the end of the driveway of you folks who follow the Gregorian calendar The entrée for the 12 meatless dishes
to follow is kutia, also spelled ‘kutya’ and ‘kootiah’. I pronounce it ‘koo-chah’. Why the confusion? The original word would be written in Cyrillic characters. Kutia is porridge-like, consisting of wheat kernels (representing the ‘future’), honey (happiness and health) and poppy seeds (youth). It looks like bilge water, but I really like it. Followed by twelve dishes (the number of apostles was established in preMetric days). Among them, ‘varenika’ (stuffed with potatoes or sauerkraut), but I call them ‘pare-oh-heh’, others refer to them as ‘perogies’. Next: ‘holubtsi’ - ‘cabbage rolls’ to you, stuffed with rice or buckwheat. My pronunciation: ‘hole-up-chee’. When I placed my order for a burger in a Manitoba McDonald’s I was asked, “Yah want holubtsi with that?” By now you’re confused. You’re getting my picture of Christmas, full of memories, additions and improvisations. It’s probably the same for any second or third generation Canadian. Canadian Christmas is a potpourri, a blend, a mixture of Atheism, Judaism, Christianity, Consumerism, Hollywood and Disney. Hey! I almost forgot our indigenous peoples. Their culture is also one that’s adapted, been enriched and has made contributions to contemporary Canadian Christmas celebrations. Unfortunately, COVID-19 has been added to the recipe for Christmas 2020. Make of it as you see fit, but for the sake of others, keep your appropriate Metric or Imperial distance, wash your hands often and protect your bubble. Until everyone has had their two shots of vaccine, that’s the way it has to be. That’s the new normal.
A sweet partnership NICK SEEBRUCH

CORNWALL, Ontario – A partnership between Glengarry Inter-Agency Group (GIAG) Employment Services and Beyond 21 has been a treat for both organizations. GIAG’s Youth Job Connect (YJC) program is designed to help teach its clients life skills such as cooking, baking, and general job readiness. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the delivery of the program has had to change. An opportunity was found in a partnership with Beyond 21. Beyond 21 is a non-profit program that supports adults with developmental disabilities by offering them opportunities to develop and grow outside the home. Every year, Beyond 21 raises funds by selling tourtières, butter tarts, and other holiday treats. GIAG and Beyond 21 partnered together to give GIAG’s YJC clients placement training by having them help out with Beyond 21’s baking fundraiser, and Beyond 21 was able to produce more treats to sell. “Under the guidance of Beyond 21’s Life Skills Facilitator and Chef, Margaret McCormick, and in exchange for extra hands on the production line from the YJC trainees, a partnership between these two non-profit agencies was born. More hands, more butter tarts,” reads a statement from GIAG. “The partnership resulted in 200 tourtières, thousands of cookies, and YJC trainees whose confidence grew as evidence of their skills piled up on the counters. The campaign was a huge success which raised over $9,000 for Beyond 21 in less than two weeks.” “It has been a wonderful experience partnering with GIAG for our cookie & meat pie campaign to support our Capital campaign. It is a win, win situation for all involved. We had hard working students who got to experience working with our experienced Chef Margaret, volunteers helped out and the community response to our campaign was outstanding. It’s a Christmas Story and Beyond 21 has had the sweet aroma of fresh baked cookies and pies for the last few weeks, a great initiation to our new teaching kitchen. Thank you to everyone and Merry Christmas,” said Tish Humphries, President of Beyond 21.

The year that was 2020 NICK SEEBRUCH
2021 is just around the corner, but before it is here, I want to take a minute to look back on the year that was. For the past 12 months, I’ve heard 2020 cursed again and again as a year that has been terrible for everyone. This year has been challenging for sure. Everyone worldwide has had to endure the COVID-19 pandemic and the changes it has forced on our society and economy. There were very few occasions this year where I would write a story that didn’t mention COVID-19 at some point. What I want to highlight the successes that we have seen in our region over the past year, despite the adversity of the pandemic. Of course, the pandemic was nearly all-encompassing, but there were a few non-COVID-19 related stories as well. Patios pop-up After the end of the initial COVID-19 lockdown, as restaurants re-opened, business owners, municipal governments and patrons themselves worked to find new ways to support this hard-hit industry. A major step taken by Cornwall City Council was allowing restaurants along Pitt St. in the downtown to add patio spaces in their on-street parking spaces, with Schnitzels European Flavours, Truffles, Spinners and more taking advantage of this opportunity. Having these extra outdoor seating spots really added something to the downtown, and not just in a business sense, but an aesthetic one as well. These pop-up patios are just one of the changes from the pandemic that was a change for the better, and one that I believe will become permanent once COVID-19 is behind us as well. Talking diversity One of the stories that developed in parallel, but unconnected to, the pandemic was the Black Lives Matter protests that swept much of North America following the death of George Floyd. Floyd was a black man who died in police custody after an officer pinned him to the ground with a knee on is neck for more than eight minutes. Cornwall too had a solidarity protest. It was probably the largest protest I have ever seen in the city. This event opened up discussions on diversity and equity in the city with the Cornwall march organizers, Bethany Brown and Annissa Mohammed, two young black women, sharing their experiences with prejudice and racism. At the same time, the Cornwall Police Service was already proactively taking steps to start to become more diverse and inclusive, launching their Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity initiative. Tourism evolves Along with masks, staying close to home was a theme throughout this year. For me, during the course of a summer I would usually make a few recreational trips to Montreal, Ottawa, even Toronto, but not this year. Even if trips were made to other cities, there likely wasn’t much to do as many events were cancelled. The same was true for Cornwall and the surrounding area of SD&G. This meant that
tourism had to change and refocus. Instead of trying to attract tourists to the region, tourism instead evolved to market to local residents who were now sticking around for the summer. One of the few events that took place this summer that turned out to be a big success was the Art Walk. The Cornwall Art Walk has been a staple summer event for a few years now, but the one that took place in late August was unlike any other I’ve seen. Pitt St. was a buzz of activity, especially from Second. St. down to Water St. The pop-up patios mentioned above were full of residents enjoying the weather, the local food, the local art, and catching up with friends they had been isolated from for months. This Christmas season we saw another first for tourism in the region with the Holiday Sparkle Christmas drive-thru experience opening at Gray’s Creek in South Glengarry. This was the first time such an event was held at Gray’s Creek. It was organized very quickly with various local agencies and groups pitching in to decorate parts of the driving path through the conservation area. Pop-up shops The pandemic accelerated a lot of ideas, especially when it relates to the economy. More businesses began to offer curbside service, more restaurants added patios to their establishments, and Cornwall introduced pop-up shops. The pop-up shops were seacans beautifully painted by local artists that entrepreneurs could rent to sell their wares. Located in front of the Cornwall Square, the pop-up shops proved popular being booked solid on all available days from the time they were introduced in the spring, right through to October. To me, the events mentioned above characterized 2020 as a year of perseverance and change. Where there any that I left out?

RE: Water meters Dear Editor, John Kelly is not alone in being concerned about Cornwall considering installation of water meters. As a former Montreal resident I am reminded of the scandal or 2009 (and still ongoing in Sept. 2018 when they filed a lawsuit attempting
to recover losses: The City of Montreal is seeking more than $14 million in damages from individuals and companies involved in Montreal’s cancelled $356-million water meter contract). Not only do possibilities for corrupt activity cloud these type of acquisitions, but often the equipment
itself can be problematic. Many such meters only have a life of 15 years and will need to be replaced at another great expense to taxpayers. As with other political promises, often savings never materialize for residents & instead result in tax increases we cannot afford. We need to

How close was it? “I felt the cold breath of death down my neck .... I thought I was a goner.” That was how a 31-year-old Bainsville man described his brush with the grim reaper on Dec. 12, 1958 when the truck he was driving slid out of control on an icy road near his home and into the path of a fast-moving passenger train. The truck’s front end was ripped apart. The engine and other parts were scattered along 150 feet path. Somehow, at the last minute, Harry Lahnemann managed to leap from the driver’s seat to safety. That was miracle no. 1. His friend, Hugh J. McCuaig, in the passenger seat, wasn’t able to escape in time but miraculously survived with minor injuries. That was miracle no. 2. When he saw the twisted cab of the truck with the front end torn away resting on the side of the tracks, he figured his friend had been killed, but he found him unconscious sprawled across the seat. It was, the two said, their lucky day. A Christmas miracle. ********** The lobby of the Cornwallis Hotel on Second Street West was flooded with 1,000 gallons of gooey bunker oil on Dec. 20, 1958 after a prankster opened a valve on a fuel oil delivery truck. The thick, black slippery oil was ankle deep in the lobby and gallons spilled out the front entrance and covered the sidewalk. Hotel manager Bill Barber said crews spent the night trying to clean up the mess without a lot of luck. A call went out for a 50-gallon drum of Varsol to help clean up the mess. Barber said the clean-up cost and damage repair would be in the “thousands.”
********** The battle was on for a licence to operate a television station in Cornwall. In December 1958 the federal department overseeing licences said it had received applications from two groups: Cornwall Television Company fronted by Montreal businessman Stanley Shenkman and Seaway Valley Television Company with a list of backers that included Cornwall banker John L. Cook, Col. Donald Dick, Dr. L. M. Emard and G. W. Miller. The Standard-Freeholder was part of a third group that withdrew its application. In the end, the Shenkman group acquired the licence but the station did not have a long run before being sold off. ALSO THIS MONTH IN 1958 – H. G. Williamson, civil defence co-ordinator for the city and United Counties, was looking for volunteer ham radio operators to help staff an emergency radio system being set up. ... The 1,000 members of the union representing workers at Canadian Cottons Ltd. in Cornwall turned down the company’s “final” contract offer that didn’t include a pay increase. ... At the opening of the $150,000 addition to North Stormont District High School in Finch, a department of education official said the province was considering bringing back high school entrance exams for Grade 8 students and setting a 60% average for Grade 12 students to qualify for Grade 13. ... The city budgeted $1,700 for a new kind of traffic lights. The new lights to be installed at Pitt and Second Streets and McConnell and Montreal Road had walk signals for pedestrians. ... Adrian Labrecque scored three goals to lead the Comets to a 7-1 win over the Combines in City Junior Hockey League play. Jack Dumont, Roma Labrecque, Frank St. Louis and Richard Merrizzi also scored. Morgan Denneny had the Combines’ goal. ... Members of the Cornwall and District Heating Association, whose members distributed heating oil, were Bill Beattie Fuels, Blanchard Fuels, Harry Black Fuels, Lally-Munro, Irvin Fuels, Devill Fuel Co., W. C. McGuire and Sons, C. D. Parisien, Murray Fuels and Universal Terminals.

Bilan de l’année : La CNS soutient les municipalités et assure des services environnementaux essentiels tout au long de la pandémie COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LA CNS
12 - Le mercredi 23 decembre, 2020
- Cornwall Express - www.cornwallseawaynews.com
FINCH, Ontario - En une année marquée par de nombreux défis, la Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) a su s’adapter et montrer à quel point le travail des offices de protection de la nature est fiable et précieux pour les municipalités et leurs habitants. La CNS travaille avec 16 municipalités membres dans un bassin versant de 4 441 km² qui entoure la rivière Nation Sud dans l’Est de l’Ontario. Alors que certaines industries se sont arrêtées cette année, le développement dans le bassin versant a connu des records. L’Office de protection de la nature était disponible pour soutenir ces projets, protéger notre environnement local et contribuer à l’économie locale. Cette année, la CNS a délivré plus de 160 permis approuvant des activités de développement durable, dans le but de protéger les personnes et les biens contre les risques naturels, tels que les inondations et l’érosion, tout en conservant nos zones humides, nos voies navigables et nos rivages locaux. La CNS a examiné 450 projets d’aménagement au nom des municipalités et a fourni en partenariat des services techniques pour plus de 150 d’entre eux. Dans le cadre du programme de systèmes septiques, la CNS a délivré 445 permis pour des projets d’installation et de modification de systèmes septiques durables dans 13 municipalités locales. La CNS a collaboré avec les municipalités membres et les partenaires communautaires
pour protéger et restaurer nos ressources naturelles locales. Cette année, plus de 150 000 arbres ont été plantés par la CNS sur des propriétés privées et publiques par le biais de partenariats municipaux, de programmes de subventions pour la plantation d’arbres, et de dons d’arbres communautaires. Alors que la pandémie a contraint de nombreuses personnes à rester chez elles, annulant les plans d’été, beaucoup se sont tournées vers les « vacances sur place » ; les quinze aires de conservation publiques de la CNS ont accueilli plus de 170 000 visiteurs de mai à octobre : un record de fréquentation de tous les temps pour l’Office. Alors que les programmes éducatifs et les camps de jour de la CNS ont été annulés, les médias numériques ont connecté les gens à la nature grâce à la série de vidéos La Nature chez vous via Facebook En direct, qui a touché plus de 12 000 personnes en ligne. Face aux difficultés de collecte de fonds liées à la pandémie, la CNS a choisi d’organiser une vente aux enchères d’art en ligne en octobre, qui a permis de récolter plus de 6 500 $ pour la plantation d’arbres dans la communauté. Parmi les autres faits marquants de cette année, citons l’extension du territoire du bassin versant à l’ensemble de la ville de ClarenceRockland et de ses berges le long de la rivière des Outaouais ; l’aménagement d’une nouvelle aire de conservation dans le canton d’Augusta grâce à un don de terre municipale et à un partenariat fédéral ; et l’octroi de plus de 10 000 dollars de subventions à des groupes
communautaires à but non lucratif pour les aider à réaliser des projets communautaires de plantation d’arbres. Grâce à tout cela, le conseil et le personnel ont pu trouver des moyens de collaborer, d’innover, de faire preuve de résilience et de soutenir collectivement les communautés et l’environnement. La plupart des programmes ont été jugés essentiels et se sont poursuivis en 2020 avec la mise en place de mesures appropriées, notamment : la gestion des forêts publiques (marquage des arbres sur 220 acres et opérations de récolte sur 180 acres supplémentaires) et le soutien aux propriétaires de boisés privés (70 personnes ont reçu des visites gratuites ou des subventions de soutien pour aider à ajouter 3 873 acres aux plans de gestion forestière pour les 10 prochaines années) ; le travail de surveillance environnementale a soutenu l’équipe d’examen du développement de la CNS ; 28 projets d’amélioration de la qualité de l’eau agricole ont été approuvés Taylor Campbell plante des arbres à North dans la région de la CNS, et 69 autres projets Stormont en mai. dans la région rurale d’Ottawa ; la CNS a également soutenu le remplacement de 671 frênes les Fêtes, du 24 décembre au 4 janvier 2021. morts sur des propriétés privées à Ottawa. Certaines aires de conservation et certains « Cette année a apporté de nouveaux défis, sentiers municipaux restent ouverts toute de grandes opportunités, des partenariats et des réalisations », a expliqué Angela Coleman, l’année.

Le BSEO émet un nouvel ordre visant les magasins de vente au détail et épiceries multi commerces COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LE BSEO CORNWALL, Ontario - Dans le but de limiter davantage les infections de COVID-19 dans la région, le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario (BSEO) a émis un nouvel Ordre visant les magasins de vente au détail et épiceries multi commerces, en vertu de l’article 22 de la Loi sur la promotion et la protection de la santé (LPPS). L’Ordre entre en vigueur dès le 19 décembre 2020 à 00h01, et restera en vigueur jusqu’à nouvel ordre. L’Ordre vise à prévenir la propagation accrue de cas de COVID-19 en limitant le rassemblement de foules et en assurant une distanciation physique adéquate entre les clients dans les magasins grande surface et les grosses épiceries dans les comtés de l’Est. Le BSEO a émis l’Ordre à la suite de nombreuses plaintes (accompagnées de photos) reçues du public à plusieurs reprises, à propos du manque de contrôle adéquat des files d’attente ou de la foule dans les grands magasins multi commerces. Le BSEO a aussi remarqué dans ces magasins multi commerces que bien des gens ont tendance à se rassembler dans un département beaucoup plus qu’ailleurs (surtout dans les sections épicerie et pharmacie).
Bien que le nombre de personnes qui se trouvent en même temps dans tout le magasin soit respecté, quand la plupart des clients sont au même endroit en même temps, il n’est plus possible de maintenir la distanciation Dr. Paul physique requise. Roumeliotis « Avec le magasinage des Fêtes, on voit de grandes foules dans beaucoup de magasins, ce qui augmente les risques d’exposition à la COVID-19 en cette période cruciale », dit le Dr Paul Roumeliotis, Médecin hygiéniste du BSEO. « J’ai émis cet Ordre dans le but de protéger non seulement les employés mais aussi les clients de ces commerces et la communauté en général. La mise en place de telles mesures pour prévenir la propagation de la COVID-19 protège également nos commerces locaux en nous permettant d’éviter des fermetures – un dernier recours pour contrôler la propagation du virus. » Le nouvel Ordre exige que les magasins de vente au détail et épiceries multi commerces mettent en œuvre les mesures suivantes :
Veiller à ce qu’un nombre maximum de clients soit établi et bien indiqué pour chacun des départements et que ceux-ci soient dotés de personnel pour assurer que le total des clients autorisés par département est respecté. Installer des enseignes qui indiquent le nombre total de clients autorisés dans chaque département. Pour plus de clarté, établir des limites de clients spécifiques pour chacun des départements très achalandés du magasin multi commerces tels que les épiceries et les pharmacies. Les mesures supplémentaires suivantes doivent être mises en œuvre pour veiller au contrôle de la foule : S’assurer que la direction de circulation des clients est respectée. Rappeler aux clients qui se rassemblent ou marchent dans le sens contraire des flèches de respecter les règles. Calculer le nombre maximum de clients autorisés dans chaque département ou section en fonction de la superficie qui leur est disponible, c’est-à-dire exclure les aires qui contiennent des étagères, les caisses enregistreuses, etc. Calculer le nombre maximum de clients autorisés dans chaque département ou
section en fonction de la disponibilité du personnel pour contrôler la circulation et assurer que les mesures mises en œuvre sont appliquées. Contrôler les files d’attente à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur du magasin, pour veiller à ce qu’une distanciation physique d’au moins 2 mètres soit maintenue et que le nombre total de clients dans un département ou une section donnée ne soit pas dépassé en raison des clients qui font la file. Le BSEO, en collaboration avec d’autres agences d’application, procédera à un nombre accru d’inspections dans les commerces locaux pour assurer la conformité à ce nouvel Ordre ainsi qu’aux autres exigences de santé publique visant à protéger les commerces, leurs employés et le grand public. Pour en savoir plus sur le nouvel Ordre, veuillez consulter le document officiel sur le site Web du BSEO. Pour de plus amples renseignements sur la COVID-19, incluant les exigences particulières aux commerces, visitez le site Web du bureau de santé à BSEO.ca/coronavirus et le site de la Province à https://covid19.ontario.ca/fr.

God looked upon his garden, and found an empty space. He then looked down from heaven, upon the earth, and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you, and lifted you to rest; God’s garden must be beautiful, for He only takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, He then closed your weary eyes and whispered, “Peace be thine.” It broke out hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, to God’s garden, your new home. Sadly missed, and forever in our hearts. Love, Dale, Debbie, Cassie and Cole

A reader says “thanks to the staff at St Hubert for excellent service “ last week while I was there for lunch. Tick tock lets go for a walk. Start the new year with a 30 minutes walk daily. Should be some interesting court cases this year locally.
And a very Merry Christmas to Chris Rhodes over at Truly Yours Cogeco. Short Line Convenience have the greatest staff…always smiling. One of our faithful readers has this to pass along: I am very thankful to so many “earth angels” that live in Cornwall. This past week again friendly members from Hospice came to visit me with a lovely homemade frozen turkey meal, with all the trimmings. Plus 2 bags with gifts, not to be opened before December 25th. But all filled with so much care and love. A year since my husband passed away and out of town families unable to visit, this great act of kindness is really appreciated. I truly thank as well, the weekly visits of my PSW as well as Dr. Menon, the kind taxi drivers and all great volunteers who hopefully can have time for their own families. God Bless Everyone.
Sending you glad tidings of cheer and best wishes for the New Year. J. Cornett Real Estate, Brokerage James (Jim) Cornett, Broker of Record

Comment sections on web sites will soon be turning off if the comments continue to use profanity with rude and ignorant remarks. People need to learn that their names stay with these comments for life…some of you need soap for Christmas to wash your mouths.
To Bill, Gabriel, Ron and the rest of the staff at Cogeco …thank you for another great year of local TV and keep up the good work. Merry Christmas. (ps. Chris wanted his own spot).
JOKE OF THE WEEK
A guy bought his wife a beautiful diamond ring for Christmas. After hearing about this extravagant gift, a friend of his said, “I thought she wanted one of those sporty four-wheel-drive vehicles.” “She did,” he replied. “But where was I going to find a fake Jeep?”

Jane in Bonville says that it really makes me wonder if all those fools who gather in large groups to party are libertarians, who of course will nudge their way to be first in line for virus and flu shot. And, then complain the loudest that the government took so long. One would think that they would, according to their general platform, happily stand at end of lines. Bet they don’t....yikes!!!!

I make my family laugh all...the...time...so I hope that helps me be on the Nice List again this year!? Goodbye Santa, thank you!! Love Gracie Charlebois 5 years old Dear Santa, Thank you for the presents last year. I was in CHEO for Christmas last year so mom and dad brought my presents to me.

Dear Santa, We would like to start and say thank you for the lovely presents we got last year. We had lots of time and fun playing with them while our school was closed. In the time we have bin off of school it was very difficult to be good and not fight, but mommy says we did good due to the unfortunate circumstances. We also learnt a lot while being off of school, like how to save money we make while helping our mom around the house. It was difficult but our mommy has a baby in her belly so we are trying to understand that she needs lots of help when daddy at work, so mommy gave us 1$ everyday we helped her out. it was so fun making our own money like big girls we were able to buy our own toys on our birthday!! So we decided we are gonna buy some presents for others this year and so far we made up to 20$ each! We also decided to donate a lot of toys this year to make room for our baby brothers stuff, he has ALOT of stuff for a tiny baby! But we are so excited for him to get here. Mommy says he should be here by DEC 7th but he seems to be comfy so we don’t think so HAHA! This year we don’t want to much maybe just some chicken play doh, a Barbie Dream Car Bikes, Flying Fairies, and an ELF on the Shelf. We heard our friends ave one and their lots of fun!. And maybe some baby toys for our brother. We will be leaving out cookies and milk for your journey, and we hope you are staying safe and healthy this year, and have an amazing Christmas! MERRY CHRISTMAS LOVE, Jersey & Lyla Cameron

PHASE 2 NOW OPEN
Raising money for toys for girls and boys NICK SEEBRUCH

CORNWALL, Ontario – Christal Bowen of Zumba with Christal wanted to support Sparky’s Toy Drive this year, but due to COVID19, she had to find a different way to do it. The pandemic has made things like in-person zumba workouts and in-person fundraisers difficult, but Bowen found a way to innovate and still do both. With the help of her wife Val, Bowen moved her Zumba classes online and decided, starting on Dec. 1, every time someone joined one of her virtual classes, she would set aside one dollar to go towards buying toys for Sparky. “If husbands joined, it was $5, because we
really wanted to encourage the husbands to join in too,” she said. Bowen said she has had great attendance over the course of the month, including one class where Sparky himself took part. As of Dec. 17, Bowen had set aside $1,000 to buy toys for Sparky’s Toy Drive. Bowen chose to buy the toys from Cornwall’s downtown toy store, Kid’s Korner. “It is all about being able to give back to the community and keeping things local,” Bowen said. “You’ve got to keep the positive energy going.” On Dec. 17, Bowen presented the cheque to Sparky at Kid’s Korner, who already had a wall of toys ready for him to collect for girls and boys.
Pictured front left are Christal Bowen and Val Bowen. Back row from left-to-right are John Lang, Eric Richer, Sparky, and Pat Elliott of the Cornwall Fire Services and Kevin and Leslie Ouderkirk of Kid’s Korner (Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News).
