SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – At a Special Council Meeting on Monday, Aug. 16 South Glengarry Township Council expressed their support for a two-bag limit on garbage. The decision came after a presentation from Chief Administration Officer Tim Mills describing the current state of the township’s landfills and how they are rapidly filling up. The township’s landfill in Nor th Lancaster is estimated to have four years of space left, while the landfill on Beaverbrook Rd. is estimated to have 13 years of space left. “In 2012 we had 20 years of capacity left in North Lancaster and now we have four,” said Councillor Stephanie Jaworski. “And in 2012 we had 30 years at Beaverbrook and now we have just 13. So we are filling up faster than we had anticipated. Those of us on the Environment Committee who receive these reports on a regular basis this has been anxiety producing.” Administration had originally recommended a longer phase in for the garbage bag limit with a four bag limit to be introduced in Dec. 2021 before slowly being brought down to two bags by June 2023. Deputy Mayor Lyle Warden as well as other members of Council expressed their interest in expediting the phase in of the bag limit, with Warden wanting to see a two-bag limit in place by the end of 2022. Councillor Sam McDonell said that he was not entirely convinced of implementing a two-bag limit unless the Township offered residents something in return like weekly recycling, which was another suggestion from administration. The township currently has a bi-weekly
recycling schedule. “Bar none, hands down, going to weekly recycling is the number one request I get,” said Councillor Jaworski. With all of the township’s waste management contracts coming up by the end of the year, the township will be putting out a Request for Proposal for new contract bids that cost out things like a two-bag limit and weekly recycling. Council also wanted to see the cost of single stream or two stream recycling. Two stream recycling would see items like paper separated from plastic. Councillor Martin Lang framed the issue as one that would save taxpayers money in the long term. “I’m definitely in favour of let’s find out,” he said. “Also there’s the question of if we don’t do it, what’s the cost? Landfills are extremely expensive to get up and running.”

Denis Carr appointed to Council NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
CORNWALL, Ontario – A familiar face will be returning to the Cornwall Council table. Denis Carr who has served multiple terms on Cornwall City Council across four decades will be back to fill a vacancy left by Glen Grant. Grant was appointed Mayor of Cornwall in July to replace Bernadette Clement, who herself was appointed to the Senate of Canada in June. Cornwall City Council officially declared Grant’s council seat to be vacant at their Aug. 9 meeting and by a vote of six-to-four decided to fill the vacancy with the person
who got the next most votes in the 2018 election without winning a seat, that person being Carr. Council was presented with two other options to fill the DENIS CARR vacancy, including holding a by-election or “Option C” would which allow Council to appoint any other eligible member of the community. Councillor Carilyne Hébert advocated for Option C.
“We would be best served by going to the community for an application process. It can be a four week process. It doesn’t have to be lengthy,” she said. Other members of Council pointed out that the way the council vacancy was being filled was inconsistent with the way that the mayoral vacancy was filled. For the mayoral vacancy Council did not appoint the person who got the next most amount of votes in the 2018 election, David Murphy. Carr confirmed on Tuesday that he had received and accepted the invitation to fill the council vacancy and would be sworn in at the first meeting in September. This is not the first time that Carr has been
brought in to fill a council vacancy. During the 2014 to 2018 term of Council Carr was again brought in to fill the vacancy left by Brock Frost. In an interview with Seaway News Carr said that he was excited to get to work and had a range of issues that he felt needed focus, including housing, and the further development of the East End and Le Village area. “I would like to see from Gray’s Creek to the (Seaway International) bridge a whole boardwalk that shows what Cornwall was really all about,” he said. Carr was first elected to Cornwall City Council in 1986. The Mayor at the time was Brian Lynch.
Post birth healing: Breastfeeding positions to reduce strain
MOVEMENT MATTERS
NATASHA INGRAM MOVE THERAPEUTICS
Pregnancy, labor and delivery are truly amazing experiences but unfortunately they can also come with their own complications, and it might not end there. A large majority of women struggle with breastfeeding for several different reasons. Women need to know that there are professionals at their
disposal that can help with breastfeeding problems. Lactation consultants, midwives, obstetricians, and family doctors can help with problems such as latching, breast engorgement, mastitis, not enough or too much breast milk. Physiotherapists can help with body mechanics while breastfeeding to avoid and prevent overuse and strain injuries while you heal from your vaginal or belly birth. Here are a few tips and tricks to consider when breastfeeding in sitting: 1. Sit evenly on your sitting bones to avoid strain on your perineum 2. Place a pillow in your lower back to avoid pressure on your tailbone 3. Position your rib cage above/stacked on your pelvis for optimal lung and core function
4. Bring your baby up to your breast, not your breast down to your baby which compromises your mid back and neck. Use pillows to prop your baby up! 5. Stretch the muscles in the front of your neck as these muscles get tight from looking down to make sure your baby is latching. Give your neck a break by looking up at the ceiling to stretch the front of your neck. Try not to let your neck collapse backwards elongate your spine towards the ceiling and protrude your jaw forward. You can tilt your head from side to side in this position to get a good dynamic stretch while you feed 6. Perform a chest/shoulder stretch by reaching your hands up on both sides of a doorframe and leaning forward to stretch the front of your shoulders and chest before
and/or after every feed 7. Roll a towel and lie on your back with the towel lengthwise along your spine. Stretch your arms out to the side and form the letter T or Y above your head before and/or after every feed. If you need to kickstart your postpartum recovery, or if these tips and tricks are not enough for you during your breastfeeding journey, book an appointment with a Pelvic floor Physiotherapist now - email Natasha@ movetherapeutcs.ca or call to book 343885-1240 for more information. Additional key components postpartum mothers should be aware of for a balanced and healthy recovery are pelvic floor, core and lung function, as well as spinal, hip and pelvis mobility. Stay moving!

If you’re coming to terms with an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, you may be wondering how to share the news with your family and friends. Here are a few recommendations. Prepare yourself: Take some time beforehand to write down your thoughts and decide what you want to say. Hearing about your diagnosis for the first time can be almost as difficult for your loved ones as it was for you. Try to predict how each person might react and prepare a response. Arrange to be in a private, relaxed setting when you reveal your diagnosis to encourage openness and understanding. Take it slow: You don’t need to go into more detail than you’re comfortable with during the first conversation. Hopefully it’s just the beginning of an ongoing dialogue about your experience with Alzheimer’s. You also don’t want to overwhelm your loved ones with too much information. Give them time to process the diagnosis. Encourage education: Encourage your family and friends to learn more about Alzheimer’s. Negative reactions or denial

Chamber-Choice partnership provided 450 trips to vaccine appointments NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
CORNWALL, Ontario – More than four months after the Cornwall and Area Chamber of Commerce launched their GoVax initiative in partnership with Chamber member Choice Taxi, they have already provided more than 450 complimentary trips to COVID-19 vaccination appointments to
regional residents. The program, which was announced on March 30, was made possible through $10,000 worth of funding from Ontario Power Generation (OPG). While the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) has announced that it will be ending its mass vaccination clinics after Aug. 27, Chamber Executive Director Greg Pietersma
said that the GoVax program will remain in place to support those who need to get to a vaccination appointment. “We want people to be able to go out and get vaccinated,” he said. Pietersma praised Choice Taxi for being a supportive partner in the GoVax program and thanked OPG for the funding they provided to make the program possible.
“They are a big part of this community and it is great to have them support this program,” he said. If someone with a COVID-19 vaccination appointment needs help getting to their appointment and would like to use Project GoVax for a complimentary ride call Choice Taxi at (613) 938-8899 and request a ride.
Vaccine passports a good idea says Dr. Roumeliotis PHILLIP BLANCHER, LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER CORNWALL, Ontario – Following calls by provincial and national business groups, the region’s top doctor is adding his support for Ontario to adopt a vaccination passport program, similar to that of Quebec. Eastern Ontario Health Unit Medical Officer of Health Dr. Paul Roumeliotis said that he supported Ontario adopting a vaccination passport. “The concept of what they are doing in Quebec to me is rewarding those that went and took the time, waited in line, got their vaccines, and now can reap the benefits of
it,” Roumeliotis said. “It’s not to say that you are punishing the non-vaccinated, I mean it in the positive way.” He said that it makes sense for business owners to have a system like the vaccine passport to follow. “If you’re a business owner and the choice is that we shut you down again or there is a passport, what would you take,” he asked. Groups like the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, and the Canadian Federation of Independent Business have all said that vaccine passports or a certificate system would help prevent further business lock downs.
“It’s something that we need to look at,” Roumeliotis said. “I think people who are vaccinated can reap the benefits of it.” He said he is concerned with unvaccinated or vaccine-resistant Quebec residents entering Ontario to avoid having to have a vaccine passport. “I am concerned but I don’t think that people are going to be that desperate to come across to our area,” Roumeliotis said. Medical groups including the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario and the Ontario Medical Association have also called for the adoption of a vaccine passport or certificate program.
“Vaccine certificates and passports provide one of many policy levers to help with this, and provincial and federal governments have the ability to make this a reality,” said OMA President Dr. Adam Kassam. Ontario’s COVID-19 Science Advisory Table has also said that a vaccine passport would be beneficial for reopening higher-risk settings. So far, the Ontario government has said it is not implementing any passport system. This article was originally written for, and appeared in The Morrisburg Leader.

MUNICIPAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
Burning Leaves The burning of leaves is not a good idea and contrary to the Fire By-law. When burning, leaves will create a lot of smoke and potentially annoy surrounding neighbours. The fire By-law permits a person to burn only clean dry wood in a fire 18 inches x 18 inches big without a permit. A $12 Township permit permits fires 1 metre x 1 metre outside of any “Built up area”. Violation of the Fire By-law can result in fines of $150. Anonymous Complaints It is the Township Policy that the By-law Department we will not investigate anonymous complaints. It is also the Township practice that the name of the complainant won’t be disclosed unless absolutely required. The name of the complainant is required to make sure that complaints are legitimate and to find out how they know about the offence reported.

leagues. We’re not quite done yet, though! Our Parks and Recreation Department have some exciting upcoming developments both in 2021 and 2022. Scheduled to take place this fall, new playground structures will be erected in Rosedale Terrace’s MacLennan Park, as well as in Long Sault’s Arnold Bethune Park. The current equipment in these locations are in need of replacement, and the Township was successful in grant applications to help secure funding for these projects that were identified as priorities in our recent Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The Township will also see 4 newly constructed pavilions erected in 2022. New 20’ x 40’ pavilions that will provide shelter from the sun and inclement weather are scheduled
Register online at www.ucdsb.on.ca to be built in Simon Fraser Community Park in St. Andrews West; Ingleside Community Park in Ingleside; Lost Villages Museum in Lakeview Heights; as well as Arnold Bethune Memorial Park in Long Sault. Most recently, however, the Township was announced as a funding recipient of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) that will see a new multi-use path developed in Long Sault’s Arnold Bethune Park. This project will see a paved path navigate from Saunders Avenue to the location of the new pavilion that will be installed near the splash pad, with connections to Johnson Crescent and St. Laurent Avenue. This project is part of a large-scale, multiphase path network proposed for the Village of Long Sault and was highlighted as a priority in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
Through additional grant applications, we hope to expand this multi-use path network with extensions to other areas of the parkland and make additional connections to existing sidewalks and planned trail networks. Stay-tuned for more details on those plans! Despite some significant challenged over the last couple years, our Parks and Recreation Department has been hard at work with efforts to ensure our Township has a vibrant and active community with as many opportunities to participate in outdoor recreation as possible. We look forward to these projects coming to fruition and continuing to improve with even more projects in the future. Bryan McGillis, Mayor of South Stormont

Time to sell City Hall NICK SEEBRUCH

The media was invited back to cover Cornwall City Council in person last Monday and a lot had changed since the last time I sat in at a council meeting. For one, the last time I was physically present at a Cornwall City Council meeting was probably February 2020. Second, the last time I was in a Cornwall City Council meeting it was being held in the Council Chambers at City Hall. Since Council began meeting again in-person after going strictly virtual for a spell, they’ve been meeting in salons A and B downstairs at the Cornwall Civic Complex. I was told at Monday night’s meeting that while the old Council Chambers are still being used occasionally for smaller meetings, that the salons at the Complex will serve as the host location for Council meetings for the foreseeable future. This makes sense. The salons at the Complex allow for greater social distancing, which is still important indoors, and they still are able to provide a professional setting for the meetings. This does raise the question though, if Council meetings will be held at the Complex, can the City economize on space at City Hall? Does Cornwall even still need the current City Hall building? The City of Cornwall owns a few major buildings that house the majority of their municipal employees. One is the Civic Complex, the next is City Hall and the Justice Building next door, then there is the Benson Centre, and finally the Municipal Works building at their yard on Ontario St. The pandemic as I outlined above, has changed the way that the city does a lot of things, and that isn’t just limited to Council meetings. For a time, many city employees were working from home during the pandemic, but many have also since returned to working in their office. At City Hall specifically, the Council Chambers make up the single largest room in the building, a room whose initial purpose has now been made redundant. With the possibility working from home and Council being moved to the Complex I think it is time for Council to ask for a report on potentially closing City Hall and selling the building. If there is one thing that I sense many of our readers like it is when they feel their tax dollars are being respected and money being saved. City Hall is no spring chicken. It is a 60-year-old building and there are going to be maintenance costs that come with that, and if it is not currently serving the main purpose it was designed for, then is it worth keeping it at all? There were several councillors who voted against the most recent municipal budget. Councillors like Eric Bergeron and Justin Towndale both voted against the budget, and put forward motions to get a couple of capital projects removed from that budget. Their motions would by no means have made a significant impact on the municipal budget, but cutting the expense of owning a building and then selling that building definitely would. Major companies who own property in cities like Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal are all shrinking their physical footprint with Shopify selling their downtown Ottawa offices being a stand out example. I am surprised that Council’s budget hawks have not yet jumped on this idea. What do you think readers? Should the City look into consolidating and closing some of its office space?

A return to a ward system needs serious consideration Dear Editor, Moving here in 2015 having previously lived all my voting-life in cities with a ward system (one of which was about the same size as Cornwall), I blithely assumed that the same applied here. Mea culpa. So the 2018 municipal election came as something of a rude awakening. I was confronted with a list of no less than 30 candidates, from which I was expected to select my 10 potential ‘winners’ in terms of their abilities to serve. Not being an adherent of 6/49 tickets, it struck me as totally ludicrous and I recall actually laughing out loud. For just how was I, or any average citizen, to be expected to get informed about the merits (or lack thereof) of such a large number of ‘potentials’? And especially problematic was evaluating those many unknown and untried ‘new faces’, those who, given the barest of resources, were supposed to somehow make themselves known not just to me and those in my locality, but to all 38 000 electors. Moreover, any incumbent who had decided to stand again, being a ‘known face’ had a distinct and unfair advantage. Perhaps of greatest import, how would it be possible for each and every one of those 10 councillors to become sufficiently familiar with the problems and priorities of each and every single locality, given Cornwall’s size? Clearly this would be unattainable.
And what about post-election? Having watched several council meetings since 2018, I have been most impressed by the dedication and hard work of the current council, especially given the Covid complications. But what happens when a citizen has a particular and local concern? To my dismay, I discovered that it most definitely requires a ‘Hail Mary pass’ to all 10 council members, in the hope that at least one might in fact deem the matter worthwhile and ‘pick up the ball’ - maybe even deciding to ‘run with it’. Kids using Canada Post to write to Santa stand more chance of some form of acknowledgment or response than I received from the vast majority of Cornwall’s current council members. And there’s the key word - ‘response’ - the root of the term ‘responsible government’. Given all of the above, as things stand, true responsible government does not exist in Cornwall - just an approximation. The current system was implemented some 50 years ago. Cornwall has very much been reborn since then and attitudes have changed. A return to a ward system needs serious consideration, with a view to definite implementation, hopefully in time for the 2022 election. Sincerely, Alan Scrivener Cornwall, Ontario

OPINION
Davis was good for Cornwall: Lumley Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings
EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM
On the night of the enormous 1984 victory by Brian Mulroney and Conservatives, former Ontario premier Bill Davis was asked by CBC TV for his thoughts on the sweeping aside of the Liberals. Davis, in his slow, methodical manner, said he was happy with the federal party’s victory. But, he added, he was sorry to see his old friend Liberal cabinet minister Ed Lumley defeated in Stormont-Dundas after serving his constituents and country so well. It was that kind of warm relationship, a friendship that went back to the early 1970s before Lumley became the youngest person elected mayor by Cornwall voters on Dec. 6, 1971. Davis, arguably Ontario’s most progressive and longest serving premier, died Aug. 8 at age 92. One of the last people, outside his immediate family, he spoke to was Lumley who touched base, via phone, with Davis on a regular basis. It was Davis who lobbied to have Lumley awarded the Order of Canada in 2014. “He was good, so good to Cornwall,” recalled Lumley. “He was sensitive to our unemployment problem (21% at one point) and other issues.” Lumley said that in politics and outside politics, he never met a nicer person. Despite the friendship, Davis was unable to talk Lumley into running for the provincial Conservatives – he also was being wooed by the federal Liberals which raises the question of why the young mayor ended up with the Liberals. The province and feds had agreed to

spend millions of dollars to boost Cornwall’s infrastructure. It included $7 million for a new arena/convention centre. Davis was a strong proponent of the huge cash injection. There was a strong feeling that the federal Conservatives if elected planned to reduce the country’s huge deficit (small compared to today’s red ink) by cancelling numerous capital projects. Cornwall was said to be on the “hit list”. Lumley, at the urging of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, decided to run for the guys and gals who pledged not to derail the $14 million infrastructure package. The rest is history. Davis understood Lumley’s dilemma and there were no hard feelings. Many believe that if Lumley had taken Davis’s offer, and won the riding, he would have had the inside track on replacing the long-serving premier. But, he didn’t do too badly with the governing Liberals, holding down several key cabinet posts and playing a key role in making sure the Transport Canada Training Institute (now Nav Canada) project stayed in Cornwall. THIS MONTH IN 1960 – With high unemployment and many of its members forced onto welfare rolls, the Cornwall and District Labour Council decided to cancel the annual Labour Day parade for the first time in as long as anyone could remember. “There is not very much to rejoice about,” said council president George Harrop. ...

OPINION
I was fortunate to have acquired a BSc in Biochemistry/Chemistry before graduating from dentistry. It gave me a profound understanding of the complexity of matter and life at a molecular level. It provided me with the language of science. Those 8 years at U of T changed my life forever. Did it make me an exper t on vaccines? Absolutely not! Scientists like Dr. Fauci whose education would dwarf mine in volume and complexity are the experts we must rely on. Yet on social media we have people who claim to understand science and vaccines better than Dr. Fauci, people who have never set foot in a university classroom. They tell their followers to avoid the vaccine with outrageous claims that they contain a microchip, or that it will kill you or cause this or that. They are like trump suggesting that injecting some disinfectant will cure COVID. No claim is ever backed up with scientific data. There are a very small number of people who for medical reasons should not take vaccines and only the medical profession should decide who they are. Listening to these self-proclaimed pseudo-experts talking about complex medical subjects is like listening to someone who has never put on a pair of skates tell Gretzky he doesn’t know how to play hockey. They dabble on the internet and believe they are learning like attending college or university. They give a whole new meaning to the old adage “a little knowledge can be a curse.” Their followers don’t question these cult leader’s credentials and don’t care that they have none. Would you go to a medical doctor who has no university degree? Furthermore, their sources are not vetted so they can spew out false information without consequences. University professors are fired for making false statements that are not backed by scientific data. That is the difference between formal post-secondary education and social media learning, and it is a profound difference. Don’t get me wrong, excellent education is available online, but these people are not referring to those resources and are willingly impervious to scientific evidence. I obser ved one local conspiracist
discussing DNA as if he was Dr Fauci speaking at a world health conference, spewing out words he can’t spell, pronounce or comprehend. A perfect example of the DunningKruger-Effect. I find the “role playing” hilarious, like acting as a doctor on General Hospital. This person has ZERO knowledge of the complexity of biochemistry, immunology, virology, and pathology. Talking about a misappropriated sense of grandeur. If one wants to practice medicine one has to do the time not skip the line. Unfortunately, once you realize that his followers have drank the cool-aid and firmly believe his pseudo-science it becomes a serious issue. This kind of misinformation kills people! This same person discourages his followers from attending university. He claims that government sponsored higher education indoctrinates us into a herd of non-thinking zombies. In fact, universities do the exact opposite, they teach us to think rationally on our own. Yet he clutches his phone when he produces his conspiracy blogs on Facebook, not knowing that his phone would not exist without university research. His GPS would fail without Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, no cars to drive, no planes to fly, no internet or WiFi, no satellites , no modern medicine, no X-Rays, no MRI, no titanium dental implants, no life saving drugs or vaccines, no heart surgeries, no antibiotics, no clean drinking water, no electricity or nuclear energy, etc.…. the list goes on. Without higher education we would be living like before the age of enlightenment 400 years ago. Basically, what this con artist is saying is “enjoy and take advantage of all the discoveries and inventions of modern science but don’t bother participating in the system that creates them, let others do the work.” Fortunately, we love doing the work and ironically the majority of these anti-vaxxers are alive today thanks to the vaccines they received when they were young, vaccines that were developed from university research. Then we have the “hoaxers”, my favourite of them all, the real conspiracy junkies, calling the pandemic a “plandemic”, who believe there is no corona virus and the entire
pandemic is a global orchestrated hoax. They are the dumbest of the dummies. How on earth can over 200 countries get together and start coordinating all the hospitalizations and deaths. Lock up two “hoaxers” in a room and you have a new episode of “Dumb and Dumber.” Enough said on hoaxers. If not being vaccinated only put the unvaccinated at risk no one would care if they didn’t get the vaccine. But the reality is that they put others at risk when not vaccinated and that seems to be the quagmire. They simply don’t get it. They are being selfish without knowing they are! For those who don’t trust science and medicine, consider staying out of hospitals if you catch COVID. Tough it out on your own. Rip up your health card. These protesters must be really bored with their own existence if they have nothing better to do than protest our government over these mandates. What about the rights of the vaccinated who are forced to live among these unvaccinated? They complain about the government infringing on their freedom for forcing them to wear masks. Are they serious? Imagine telling them they must pack their bags and go fight in WWI or WWII. That was a reality not that long ago. In Israel today everyone must serve in the military whether you want to or not. Now that’s what “loss of freedom” looks like, to fight and die protecting the freedom of others. Telling people, they must wear a mask while they walk the aisle of a grocery store impinges on nobody’s freedom. We have lots of laws like public smoking laws, stop signs, speeding laws that we all live with. Imagine these complainers living in a country with very limited freedom, where women can’t drive, must wear total body coverings when leaving home, or living in an autocratic country like Russia or China where freedom is controlled by the state. And these Canadians complain about wearing a mask? Give us a break. Shame on you. We are embarrassed for you. I recommend you have a frank conversation with a war veteran or read a book or two on the wars of the 20th century. You will then realize that wearing a
Your suspension
mask is embarrassingly easy. If you don’t like masks you cer tainly won’t like ventilators. Today we expect to live well into our 80’s and beyond when only 100 years ago it was a fraction of that. Many people with cancer today can expect to live a relatively normal life. That came about because of our government sponsored education in science, technology and medicine including vaccines. Unlike most countries our Canadian government also provides us with a free medical system that has treated us so well since it’s inception some 60 years ago. So why are these people embracing our medical system when they get sick, yet reject the same doctor’s advice to take the vaccine? Is it willful ignorance? If they were involved in a serious car accident who do you think they would call? Their favourite cult leader or 911? We all know the answer. People all over the world consistently rate Canada as one of the best places to live. If it’s not good enough for these protestors may I suggest they go live elsewhere. Perhaps in a red state where a pandemic of the unvaccinated is taking place, with COVID cases matching up perfectly with red trump states where vaccination is lowest, proof that vaccines work. They can watch each other get sick. All this to say that being nice to those who refuse to be vaccinated or wear masks is getting awfully tiresome. Like it or not COVID vaccine passports will be the way to go. They’ve been used for decades. Events are opening up everywhere for the vaccinated. If you hate lockdowns so much remaining unvaccinated will only prolong them. We no longer have any intention of sacrificing our time and freedom for those who refuse to be vaccinated. This time you stay home, not us. Be part of the solution instead of the problem by embracing modern science instead of rejecting it. You should also count your blessings and forever be grateful for living in such a great country called Canada. We certainly are. Louis Cardinal BSc, DDS, FAGD.

AKWESASNE – The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne (MCA) and their counterpart in Quebec the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe (SRMT) issued a statement on Wednesday, Aug. 11 urging their residents to get vaccinated amid fears of the potent Delta variant of the COVID-19 virus. The Delta variant is seen as being highly contagious and is driving a wave of new COVID-19 infections worldwide. “What we are learning is that individuals who may have previously been strong enough to fight COVID-19 off as a regular flu-like cold are now experiencing more serious illness and hospitalization due to the Delta variant’s strength,” said the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne in a press release. “We are emphatically advising all community members 12 and over to access the best defense there is against this disease – vaccination.” Both the MCA and SRMT believe that vaccines will help avoid a fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. “We need our community members to weigh facts against fears,” said the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribal Council in the joint press release. “We sincerely understand the emotions behind vaccine hesitation, but we can’t emphasize enough that the benefits of vaccination far outweigh any risks, and that your chance of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19 is the reality.” The SRMT and MCA are holding vaccine clinics by appointment every Wednesday.

Les jeunes appâtent l’hameçon aux camps de pêche d’été de la CNS COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LA CNS FINCH, Ontario - Près de 100 jeunes ont mis l’appât à la ligne cet été dans les camps de pêche pour jeunes de la CNS. Le programme avait été interrompu l’année dernière en raison de la pandémie de COVID-19 et a rapidement affiché complet lors de sa réouverture en 2021. « Ces camps populaires offrent aux jeunes une expérience inestimable d’apprentissage en plein air et les aident à se familiariser avec la nature environnante grâce à une pêche responsable et durable », explique Kelsey Smith, adjointe à l’intendance et à la sensibilisation de la CNS. Les jeunes pêcheurs ont attrapé quelques-unes des 72 espèces de poissons qui vivent dans la rivière Nation Sud, en jetant leur ligne dans l’aire de conservation du Pont Cass à Winchester, l’aire de conservation High Falls à Casselman et l’aire de conservation de Jessup’s Falls à Plantagenet. Des invités spéciaux des Water Rangers
étaient également sur place pour apprendre aux jeunes comment vérifier la qualité de l’eau à l’aide de trousses d’analyse de science citoyenne, tandis que des membres de l’Ottawa Flyfishers Society ont enseigné aux participants les rudiments de la pêche à la mouche. « Ces camps ont beaucoup de valeur, comme la promotion de l’écosanté », a précisé Kelsey Smith. « Les enfants ont la possibilité de pêcher toute la journée, de se faire de nouveaux amis, de découvrir et d’apprendre à connaître leur environnement local. » Les programmes de pêche récréative font la promotion de pratiques de pêche durables et encouragent les résidents à explorer les possibilités de pêche dans les aires de conservation de l’Ontario. La CNS travaille en partenariat avec ses 16 municipalités membres pour faire profiter les gens d’espaces naturels et leur offrir des possibilités de loisirs sur terre et sur l’eau.

Des millions de personnes en Ontario ont reçu le vaccin contre la COVID-19.
À vous de jouer! Faites-vous vacciner! Les vaccins approuvés par Santé Canada sont administrés dans des hôpitaux, des cabinets de médecin, des pharmacies et des centres de vaccination de masse. Et chaque dose administrée est un pas de plus vers la vie que nous avions avant. Prenez rendez-vous dès aujourd’hui, sur le site ontario.ca/rendezvousvaccin ou en téléphonant au 1 888 999-6488 pour obtenir de l’aide dans 300 langues différentes.

COVID-19: plus de 500 cas quotidiens en Ontario, cinq jours de suite ÉMILIE PELLETIER, INITIATIVE DE JOURNALISME LOCAL ONTARIO - L’Ontario en est, lundi, à sa cinquième journée consécutive où la santé publique rapporte plus de 500 nouvelles infections au coronavirus, répertoriées la veille. Parmi les 526 nouveaux cas de COVID-19 en Ontario, 353 ont été dépistés chez les personnes non vaccinées et 60 chez des individus partiellement vaccinés, selon le ministère de la Santé. Les autorités sanitaires de l’Ontario rapportent 145 692 cas cumulatifs confirmés du variant Alpha et 6245 cas cumulatifs confirmés du variant Delta, parmi d’autres. La province ne déplore aucun nouveau décès causé par la COVID-19. Le bilan, qui s’élève à 9418 décès causés par le virus depuis le début de la pandémie en Ontario, demeure donc inchangé depuis dimanche. Lors de cette journée, les hôpitaux de la province ont rapporté 108 hospitalisations liées à la COVID-19, 119 patients aux soins intensifs et 66 sous respirateur. Or, plus de 10% des hôpitaux n’ont pas fourni de données pour le recensement quotidien des lits, dimanche, une situation constatée régulièrement lors des fins de semaine. «Nous prévoyons que le nombre de patients hospitalisés puisse augmenter lorsque la conformité à ce recensement augmentera», a fait
savoir la santé publique de l’Ontario. Dimanche, 15 784 tests de dépistage ont été effectués en province. Alors que la courbe des cas de COVID-19 continue sa hausse en Ontario, une autre poursuit sa chute libre: celle de la vaccination quotidienne. Dimanche, quelque 26 000 personnes ont reçu une dose de l’un des vaccins contre la COVID-19 à travers la province. Au cours des 10 derniers jours, moins de 1% des Ontariens non vaccinés ont commencé leur processus de vaccination. Cela signifie que 28,5% de la population totale, soit 4,2 millions d’Ontariens parmi les 14,8 millions au total, est toujours non vaccinée. L’Ontario a administré 20,2 millions de doses des vaccins contre la COVID-19 jusqu’à présent. Quant aux personnes admissibles à la vaccination, soit celles âgées de 12 ans et plus, 81,5% ont reçu leur première dose et 73,5% sont pleinement vaccinées. Pour passer à la prochaine étape du plan ontarien de déconfinement, il faut que 80% des personnes admissibles aient reçu une première dose, que 75% aient reçu leurs deux doses et qu’aucun bureau de santé publique ne rapporte un pourcentage de pleine vaccination sous la barre des 70%.

Du cannabis comme remède pour chiens anxieux ÉMILIE PELLETIER, INITIATIVE DE JOURNALISME LOCAL
319998
www.cornwallseawaynews.com - Cornwall Express - Le mercredi 18 août, 2021 - 13
QUEEN’S PARK - Le retour au travail risque de faire place à l’anxiété chez plusieurs de nos amis à quatre pattes. L’industrie du cannabis est-elle prête à proposer ses produits comme solution ? Depuis l’été 2018, l’une des plus grandes entreprises de cannabis au pays, la Canopy Growth, effectue des recherches cliniques pour comprendre les effets du cannabidiol (CBD) sur l’anxiété chez les animaux. Où en est cette entreprise mondiale, trois ans plus tard ? « Notre travail a démontré des résultats prometteurs », assure le directeur des services techniques et éducatifs vétérinaires chez Canopy Growth, le Dr Bob Menardi. Lorsque la compagnie a entamé ses recherches, l’intention était d’en apprendre le plus possible avant d’établir un plan de mise en marché des produits de cannabis pour les animaux. « Nous avons effectué une quantité importante de recherches pour identifier les avantages potentiels, comme les soins pour les douleurs aux jointures et l’anxiété de séparation. Nous avons accumulé assez d’informations pour pouvoir avancer dans le processus. » La prochaine étape : « la sécurité », dit le Dr Menardi. C’est l’attention au détail qui fera la différence quant au facteur de sécurité des produits de CBD pour animaux, selon lui. « Les découvertes sur ce qu’il est possible de faire sont encore embryonnaires. Canopy Growth mène la charge. Il y a un potentiel énorme d’améliorer la qualité de vie des animaux de compagnie. » Malgré ces avancées, tant que Santé Canada n’approuvera pas l’utilisation du CBD pour traiter l’anxiété chez les animaux de compagnie, le milieu vétérinaire continuera de s’en méfier.
Pour l’instant au Canada, la Loi est telle que seuls les humains ont le droit d’avoir accès aux produits de cannabis. « Monsieur et madame tout le monde peuvent se procurer des produits à base de CBD pour leurs animaux, en vente libre, qui indiquent soigner, ou du moins aider pour divers problèmes de santé. Ce qui m’inquiète, c’est qu’il n’y a pas de législation sur le sujet et je crois bien que la majorité de ces compagnies ne pourraient même pas fournir un certificat d’analyse de leur produit. Un faible taux de THC dans le CBD pourrait engendrer des effets secondaires néfastes pour les animaux. » Même si Canopy Growth affirme pouvoir assurer une haute qualité des produits de CBD et l’absence d’effets secondaires néfastes, le Dr Bob Menardi concède que les normes de qualité ne sont pas les mêmes partout ailleurs. « Finalement, mon conseil serait de voir un vétérinaire comportementaliste lorsqu’un chien démontre de l’anxiété sévère ou tout autre problème de comportement », recommande Marie-Claude Giroux. C’est aussi ce que conseille le Dr Menardi, qui souligne que la gestion du comportement est l’étape la plus importante face aux problèmes d’anxiété chez les chiens. « Les suppléments peuvent aider, mais l’entraînement est essentiel. Et je crois absolument que le CBD peut être un bon soutien à cet entraînement. » « Il existe plusieurs médicaments sous prescription pour aider spécifiquement les problèmes et il y a aussi des produits naturels. Dans le futur, il y aura peut-être de l’huile de CBD homologuée et approuvée par Santé Canada pour l’usage chez le chien, mais entre-temps, il y a d’autres alternatives efficaces et sécuritaires », conclut la technicienne en santé animale.

It is with great sadness that we would like to announce the passing of our dear loving father Léo Joseph Poirier who passed away peacefully at his home on August 13, 2021. Age 95 years. Loving father of Claire (Mike Rivette), Denise, Gerald, Maurice (Peggy McDonell), Elaine (Bill Beckstead), Daniel (Joanne Patenaude), Jeanne (Dan McMartin), Pauline, Robert, Rachelle (Marlin Whitford) and Alain (Patty Lynn Lyddell). His grandchildren Jeff, Steve, Jennifer, Jason, Jonathan, Trevor, Tyler, Valerie, Eric, Jacob, Chad, Candace, Caitlan, Justin and eleven great grandchildren, Loving doggy Jessy, many nieces and nephews. Léo was predeceased by his loving wife of 70 years Marie-Rose (St-Germain) on April 7, 2021. Our hearts are deeply warmed knowing they are now reunited for eternity. He was predeceased by his parents Oscar Poirier and Amanda (Brisson), his sisters Hortense (Ross Russell), Alice (André Valade) and his brother Rhéal (Simone Poirier). Léo was a man who always enjoyed looking for a bargain at an auction or yard sales which he did frequently with Marie-Rose. We always looked forward to seeing the smile on his face as he shared what treasures he had found. He was an avid collector of clocks, watches and radios. Although he was not a dancer he loved to listen to music. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to LAHAIE AND SULLIVAN, CORNWALL FUNERAL HOME, 20 Seventh St West (613-932-8482). A graveside Celebration of life will be held for Léo and Marie-Rose on their 70th wedding anniversary, Wednesday September 1, 2021 at 11 a.m. at Notre Dame Cemetery.

Four walls do make a room Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words
NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM
I have a list of at least 26 different kinds of rooms that can be found in homes. Before reading any further, grab a cup of whatever your drink of choice may be at this time of day, then make a list of the names of as many kinds of different rooms that can be found in homes. Some homes have only one room. Our 1995 VW Eurovan is our ‘home-on-the-road’. It also has but one room, a multi-purpose one. In contrast, the homes of the wealthy, the so-called ‘one-per cent’, may have far more than a dozen completely different rooms. Think of the refugee camps: the entire
family shares one small room. In your home there are several basic rooms enclosed within the four walls. In order of priority: living room, kitchen and bedroom. What about the ‘bathroom’? Before the twentieth century, it was outside the four walls. That ‘it’ has many polite and sometimes crude names, including: facilities, privy, outhouse, john, powder room, gents’ room, loo, bog, convenience and lav’. Then there are the more specialized rooms that the better off folks have. Those who value books and learning have a library. Some gentlemen have a den, a room of their very own. The ladies of bygone days had a drawing room, a room where they could withdraw. Back in those same days the parlour was a room with all the furniture covered in protective drop sheets. Only when the priest or teacher visited was the furniture uncovered.
FILING CABINETS? – Apartment tower? Creative mosaic? Look closely; it’s a mega cruise ship of many rooms. (Photo by Nick Wolochatiuk) The elementary classrooms I attended for eight years, and the ones I taught in for many years had ‘cloakrooms’. However, the students never wore cloaks! What a longlived anachronism. With the sixties came the basement TV room. Sports fans gathered to watch Hockey Night in Canada. As leisure time, financial
well-being and technology increased, the games room or rec’ room evolved: pool, billiards, snooker, ping pong and darts were added. With hi-fi, big screens and on-demand movies having arrived, those rooms became media centres. What’ll be the new room of the future?
Working group presents findings to improve Cornwall parking NICK SEEBRUCH
nseebruch@seawaynews.media
CORNWALL, Ontario – Council received a report at their meeting on Monday outlining suggested improvements to parking services in the City of Cornwall. The report was formulated by a working group that included members of Council and City administration. Among the 13 recommendations are things like adding more 15 minute free parking stalls to the downtown, Le Village, and Cotton Mills areas of the city.
Another suggestion is to increase the hourly rate for paid public parking from $1 an hour to $1.50 an hour. That rate applies to paid public parking stalls where a car can park for a maximum of 12 hours. Paid parking hours are from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and the report notes that this rate has not changed in 11 years. Other new initiatives include the introduction of overnight parking, which would be $3 a night from the hours of 2 a.m. to 9 a.m. seven days a week, and possibly introducing 24 hour parking permits.
The proposed changes do not only affect parking however, the working group also suggests investing more in active transportation such as increased transit service and more bike lanes particularly in the Le Village and Cotton Mills areas. All of the working groups suggestions will need to return to Council in the form of a by-law to be voted on for approval. Council seemed impressed with what the working group had accomplished. “We addressed a lot of issues that weren’t being addressed and I think it is equitable,”
said working group member Councillor Eric Bergeron. Councillor Carilyne Hébert suggested that this working group had done so well, that the model might be the way to go for tackling major issues in the future. “This working group has gone above and beyond from what we asked for. I think the working group model is a way to go forward for the future of this Council. Having a small working group getting together and working it all out seems to be incredibly effective,” she said.
Purpose-driven retirement needs a financial strategy
• Will I need to prioritize some of my goals? As a retiree, you may hope to do any number of things. You might want to take up a hobby or learn a new skill (online learning means you don’t have to travel far to continue your education), volunteering in your local community, photography or gardening. Like almost everyone else, you won’t have unlimited
Brian Seguin
• How can I incorporate philanthropy into my financial strategy?
financial resources during your retirement years, you may need to prioritize these goals, worthy as they may all be to your sense of purpose. • Can I still afford to retire at the age I planned? When you first calculated your ideal retirement age, you might have been counting on your investment portfolio having returned a certain percentage. Or you might have had different goals in mind than you do now. Or you might have had a somewhat different family situation. Changes in any or all of these factors could affect the age at which you choose to retire. But if you conclude that you may need to postpone retirement for a couple of years, your decision could offer some advantages, such as the ability to contribute more to your Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP), Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) or similar
Giving back to your community may be a key element of your purpose-driven retirement. Yet, with so many educational, civic and cultural groups in existence – including many in your own area – you probably can’t give as much as you’d like to all of them without affecting your own lifestyle today and the legacy you’d like to leave for your family. So, you may want to take two distinct steps. First, consider establishing a budget for how much you will give to charitable groups each year. And, second, think about including philanthropy in your estate plans. Because there are many vehicles and techniques available, you should consult with your legal, tax and financial professionals when drawing up your estate-planning strategies. It can be extremely rewarding to live your retirement purposefully – but you’ll find it a lot easier to do when you make the right financial moves.

How can you prepare for a purposeful retirement? You may want to start by asking yourself these questions:
employer-sponsored plan. In any case, it’s a good idea to review your retirement plans periodically, perhaps at least once a year.
www.cornwallseawaynews.com - Seaway News - Wednesday, August 18, 2021 - 19
Today’s retirees, and those of tomorrow, have had a sense of purpose their entire lives – and they don’t intend to give it up just because they’ll no longer be working full time. In fact, 51% of recent retirees said retirement is the time for «a new chapter in life,» compared with just 25% who said it was a time for «rest and relaxation.» According to the 2020 Edward Jones/Age Wave Four Pillars of the New Retirement study. The same study found that 97% of retirees said it was important to keep learning and growing at every age. However, they find their purpose – contributing to the community, growing intellectually, gaining new experiences and so on – retirees will need to be financially prepared.
City ward debate takes off at Town Hall MARC BENOIT, SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall’s next city election could be the first of a new era. It was time for the public to have their say on how Cornwall votes on Thursday, Aug. 12, 2021. Cornwall’s City Council held a town hall meeting to hear citizen’s views on if the city should shrink in size, or return to a Ward system. As part of an ongoing process since the start of the current term of council, city administration has been exploring potential changes to Council in response to requests from Coun. Justin Towndale and Coun. Todd Bennett.
A survey in the Fall of 2021 asked residents their views on the topic, and only received responses from seven per cent of the city’s registered voters. The Town Hall was the final stage for administration before councilors are expected to decide on how to move forward on the matter. Cornwall adopted an at-large, or General Vote, style of electing its city councilors in 1974 before Mayor Gerry Parisien became Cornwall’s first full-time mayor. In 1985, voters in the city cast ballots in favour of reducing council to its current size of 10 councilors, from 12, and one mayor. The length of terms has varied, per changes
to provincewide legislation. “Council members elected at large focus on city-wide issues and policy,” said former mayor Brian Lynch. Lynch went on to highlight how flooding in the city’s north end would never have been properly tackled under a ward system with councilors only concerned about a limited geographic area. Lynch ended his remarks with a plea to council to bring the matter to a public referendum. “I tried to think of what the pros were before coming here,” said another former mayor and councilor, Dick Aubry. “I came up with one, and that is simply that it would be easier for a candidate to campaign…we shouldn’t be constructing electoral regula-
BBQ CLASSICS
tions to make it easier for candidates.” As for public voices seeking change, Etienne Saint-Aubin, a campaign manager for the local Liberal riding association, cited low turnout as the main reason why the system needs to be reviewed, but echoed Lynch in stressing the voters should ultimately decide. Other residents agreeing with Aubin also cited confusion when it came time to vote, as up to 32 candidates have run for office at a single time in Cornwall, and a lack of clarity over councilor’s roles.
