Where have all the workers gone?

3 MINUTES WITH THE MAYOR

GLEN GRANT CITY OF CORNWALL

Is there a shortage of workers in our

community -OR- are workers not available due to the financial benefits available like CERB. In discussions with small business owners (restaurant, Convenience Stores etc.) they all have the same issue, that is, getting workers to fill their needs. In the case of restaurants, they cannot fill their tables with patrons which impacts their bottom line. Their employees also require time off due to provincial regulations.

Convenience stores owners are having the

same difficulty getting workers to fill the long hours required to earn a living. One Convenience store owner told me that he did not have one day of in over a year. Small businesses were hit the hardest during the pandemic and need help now to survive.

Without getting political, what can be done?

Currently the unemployment rate in Canada is 7.5%, Ontario is 8%, Cornwall in June was approximately 11% or 2,554 unemployed workers. Therefore, there are plenty of opportunities for people to be employed.

The CERB was a great initiative during the pandemic period when workers could not go to their place of employment and needed a helping hand. However, that is not the case today. The jobs are available but what incentive is there to return to work for approximately the same amount of dollars they receive under CERB? What would be your solution(s) to this worker issue?

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Rotary Club of Cornwall Sunrise is pleased to announce ‘Mums for Thanksgiving will be available again this year at $15 per florist quality plant delivered to an address of your choice the week before Thanksgiving. This annual event benefits many projects including Covid-19 support in our community.

Plants are presold by Rotary members or online at https://rotaryfundraisers.com/ index.php/our-fundraisers/rotary-mums .

You can also send us an email or private message using our Facebook page https:// www.facebook.com/ RotaryClubofCornwallSunrise or an email at our Rotary email address, rotaryclubofcornwallsunrise@gmail.com . For a more personal approach, a phone call or email to an individual Rotarian is suggested. Any Sunrise Rotarian is happy to take your order.

This is our oldest fundraising activity! The Rotary Club of Cornwall Sunrise was chartered in January 1989 and we delivered the first ‘mums for Thanksgiving to friends and businesses in Cornwall the week before Thanksgiving 1989. (32 years). These beautiful chrysanthemums of assorted fall colours come in 6” pots with a coloured foil wrap. Although we try to accommodate special requests, we cannot promise that recipients will receive flowers of a specific colour.

The ‘mums are delivered to us in cases of 8 plants and then our members or friends of Rotary personally deliver the flowers to the recipients …. Seniors or family residences, businesses, etc.

This year, we will again be practicing safe personal distancing; instead of handing the plants directly to the recipients, we will be placing them at the recipient’s door. We deliver within the City of Cornwall,

CORNWALL, Ontario – Seaway News spoke with People’s Party of Canada candidate David Anber who is running in the riding of Stormont, Dundas, South Glengarry.

Anber was announced as candidate for his party on Aug. 17. He told Seaway News in an interview on Aug. 26 that he had deep concerns over the possibility of so-called

vaccination passports being introduced to identify those who have and those who have not been vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus.

“This idea that in a liberal democracy that

people would need to have proof of a medical procedure is a pretty radical idea,” he said.

Anber stated however that he was not anti-vaccine.

“I think that having a high level of vaccination is a good thing, but having anyone but the individual who is involved in making that decision is frankly shocking,” said Anber.

Anber, is a criminal lawyer and graduate of the University of Ottawa. He currently resides

in Ottawa. Elections Canada allows candidates to run in ridings in which they are not a resident.

Anber told Seaway News that he was excited to get on the campaign trail and talk to the region’s residents and learn about the issues that matter most to them.

“I’m an energetic guy and I am looking forward to using that energy to represent the people of SDSG,” he said.

Moquin’s campaign to focus on farmers, middle class, small businesses MARC BENOIT, SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS CORNWALL, Ontario – It was all smiles at the campaign office on Pitt Street in Cornwall, as the Liberal electoral district association for Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry announced Denis Moquin as their candidate in the upcoming federal election.

The announcement became official on Tuesday, August 24, 2021, as Moquin and his team launched their campaign office.

DENIS MOQUIN

“I’m very excited.

We’ve gained so much momentum since the announcement,” said Moquin.

“We’ve had so much outpouring of support already. We’ve jokingly mentioned boots on the ground..but,

we’re ready to go.”

Moquin had a career as a police officer

with the Cornwall Police Service. From 2001 to 2003 Moquin worked as the head for the Community Agencies of Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, an organization that operated under the umbrella of the Eastern Ontario Training Board (EOTB).

“I want to represent this riding in Ottawa.

They deserve it, it’s long overdue,” declared Moquin. “I can appreciate what Mr. Lauzon did and I appreciate the work being done now. But I’m going to Ottawa to represent the small business people, the middle class

people, the farmers. Any issue that was left behind, we’re gonna take and carry them to Ottawa.”

Moquin’s campaign is aiming to focus on issues which impact farmers, middle class families and small businesses.

“I think Team Trudeau is strong and the campaign slogan of “we’ve got your back” is appropriate. We’re going to do well,” said Moquin.

Selling your home in a “Seller’s Market”

ROYAL LEPAGE LINDA GIROUX-DAIGLE, SALES REPRESENTATIVE

First off let me explain what a Sellers market is. It means the demand for homes outweighs the inventory of them. A lot of the homes on the market currently are selling very quickly for over asking and have multiple buyers making offers on them which is referred to as a “bidding war”. For now, It`s a great time to be a Seller.

Here are some key points to think about before putting your home up for sale. First and foremost is finding a good, reputable real estate agent that is compatible with you and your needs. Do your research, ask around and remember, you get what you pay for. You don`t have to work with your friends, uncles, sisters, cousin`s brother in-law who might be a real estate agent. A real estate agent is going to play a key role.

You need to find the one who works best with you and will guide you confidently through the process. It becomes a close relationship very quickly. It is okay to “interview” a few of them before making that important decision. You wouldn`t have a dentist come and re-wire your home, why wouldn`t you trust a licensed real estate agent with one of the biggest investments of your life?

Second is, and real estate agents cannot say this enough, but de-clutter, de-clutter, DE-CLUTTER! Your making plans to move anyway so take all of those personal items and things you don`t use anymore and either have a yard sale beforehand or box them up and put them in storage. It is difficult for potential buyers to walk through your home and envision themselves living in this space when your personal items are everywhere. Decorative items you may treasure do not necessarily appeal to the potential buyer and if they are over powering, it can be a turn off. Plain and simple is best.

These three words should resonate in your head when thinking of selling. Purge, Paint and Repair. Sprucing up your home is important in helping you get the most

money for your home. Keeping the kitchen and bathroom at the top of your list is key as they are the 2 most utilized rooms in the house. You don`t have to go all out and get a second mortgage to make these repairs.

Keep it simple. A fresh coat of paint in a neutral tone is a great refresher. Fix or repair cosmetic issues at a minimal cost, clean windows, vacuum the nooks and crannies, clean out those closets and cupboards because folks, there are no ifs, ands or buts about it, people will be looking in them. Create fluidity from one room to the next and keep the pathways clear.

Avoid blocking windows and let that light shine in. If you have pets, you may want to have the carpets and couches professionally cleaned so the smell you have become nose blind to, doesn`t turn off a potential buyer. If you have cats, keeping the litterbox extra clean during this time is good sense as well. Speaking of sense or scents, plug-ins, diffusers and room deodorizers are all good but remember too much of a good thing can be, well, too much.

Pay some attention to the outside of your home as well. Clean out gutters, rake the yard, keep the grass cut, plant some

flowers, trim any overgrown trees or shrubs.

Don`t stress, there is no need to make your lawn and home look as if it just came out of a Home and Garden magazine, but do keep in mind, it is the first thing potential buyers see when they step out of their vehicle for a showing. First impressions speak volumes.

So you are now ready to put that For Sale sign up on your lawn. How exciting! How much do you ask? Trust your real estate agent. They have taken the education courses to obtain their licenses. They have all of the tools and skills available to them to research comparables, market trends, and statistics to be able to obtain the best possible price for your home. Selling a home sure sounds easy until you put pen to paper literally. There are a lot of legalities and paperwork involved and your real estate agent knows every bit of it and works with the real estate lawyer to get you results. Leave it to the professionals.

You are in good hands. Happy Selling!

Dr. Paul advocates for vaccine passports

4 - Wednesday, September 1, 2021

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – In an interview with CTV Ottawa News on Thursday, Aug. 26 Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health for the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) advocated for the implementation of vaccine passports and said that if the province will not introduce such a requirement, that local health units were prepared to do it themselves.

Vaccine passports are a document which proves that an individual is fully vaccinated from the COVID-19 virus.

Everyone who has received a COVID-19 vaccine does get a receipt proving they have been vaccinated but Dr. Roumeliotis said that this system was hardly ideal.

“The receipt you have right now is hard to

read. It is easily forgeable and you can lose it and so on. We need something digital.

Something confidential, and an alternative card. Manitoba has that as well.

DR. PAUL ROUMELIOTIS Quebec and BC all have that,” he said.

Dr. Roumeliotis is the President of the Association of Local Public Health Agencies and said that many of his colleagues were in agreement with his position on vaccine passports.

He pointed out that many institutions such as universities, hospitals and some events like concerts were already mandating their

their students, customers, and clients be vaccinated.

Furthermore, he said that if he did try to implement a vaccine passport system, it would be in partnership with neighbouring health units of Ottawa and Renfrew.

“I don’t want it to be just for the EOHU area.

I want it to be large regions because you’re going to have regional variability and that’s something you want to avoid,” Roumeliotis said.

Dr. Roumeliotis pointed to the province of BC which recently announced that as of Sept.

13 it would require its residents to show proof of vaccination to attend certain social and recreational events and that by doing so, they have increased the number of residents who have sought to get the vaccine.

“Having less people who are unvaccinated will decrease the spread of the virus,” said Roumeliotis.

Finally, Dr. Roumeliotis said that this move would also help businesses who will not have to worry if their patrons are unvaccinated.

In a statement to 680 News, the office of Deputy Premier and Health Minister Christine Elliott said that vaccine passports were not required.

“Since the start of our vaccine rollout, Ontarians have had the ability to download or print an electronic COVID-19 vaccine receipt through the provincial portal, or by calling the provincial booking line, should proof of vaccination be required in a certain setting,” the statement reads.

CORNWALL, Ontario – The annual Corus Caring Hear ts Radiothon raised $144,167.71 in one day on Wednesday, Aug. 25 for the Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH).

Funds raised this year will be used to help treat patients with breast cancer.

“This year’s fundraising project supports state-of-the-art technology for patients with nonpalpable breast cancer. Thanks to sponsors and donors like you, CCH will join a handful of Canadian hospitals offering Breast Seed Localization (BSL). With this new capability, CCH’s diagnostic and surgical

Dr. Sahar Shirazi, who joined the CCH in January 2020 and has been working with the hospital to expand its suite of treatments for cancer patients including BSL. “There’s not that many hospitals in Canada that offer this program,” said Dr. Shirazi.

“So, it’s really good to have it in Cornwall.. even Vancouver doesn’t offer it yet.”

In addition to funding new cancer treatments, the money raise will also be used to Hearts Radiothon has raised over $1.2 mil- always present and come. To donate to lion for the CCH. buy urgently needed equipment.

United Way Centraide SDG to launch 2021 Campaign with breakfast and comedy in the park CORNWALL, Ontario - The United Way Centraide SDG (UWC SDG) is kicking off its annual 2021 Campaign Breakfast at the Lions Club Bandshell in Lamoureux Park on Thursday, September 9 from 8 a.m. – 10 a.m.

Hosted by Senator Bernadette Clement, this year’s launch will include breakfast, a member agency exhibition area, and a comedy show featuring Jamie Carr, Mike Baird and Simon Mclinden of the Questionable

Comedians.

“When we thought about the tone we wanted to set with this year’s Campaign launch, we felt it was important to be hopeful,” says Juliette Labossière, Executive Director of UWC SDG, “It’s been a really difficult couple of years. It’s hard to see light at the end of this seemingly neverending tunnel, but we know it’s there even if it feels overwhelming right now. So we thought, what better way to feel a bit of lightness than with some much needed laughter? We’re so grateful that the

Questionable Comedians have agreed to be part of this event to help make us all smile.”

There will also be an opportunity to meet a few of the local agencies UWC SDG invests in to learn more about the programs they run in SDGCA. The launch will take place in Lamoureux Park for the first time. It will follow EOHU COVID-19 guidelines, including screening upon arrival and mandatory mask wearing when social distancing isn’t possible.

Hand sanitizer will be readily available

when checking in and when picking up breakfast items.

No vaccination mandate for municipal employees yet NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The City of Cornwall will not be mandating their employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine, at least not yet anyway.

Both Mayor Glen Grant and Chief Administration Officer (CAO) Maureen Adams told Seaway News that while they are not currently mandating all of their employees to get vaccinated, they are strongly encouraging it.

“I think that anyone dealing with the public should be double vaxxed,” said Mayor Grant, referring to the requirement of having two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine for the best protection from the virus in most cases.

Adams told Seaway News that as a whole the City of Cornwall did not currently have a requirement for mandatory COVID-19 testing for non-vaccinated employees.

“Although we have encouraged all of our employees to get vaccinated, we also do not have accurate information regarding how many have been fully vaccinated,” Adams

wrote in an email to Seaway News.

Grant did confirm that according to the last update he received not all staff members Glen-Stor-Dun Lodge, the City operated long term care facility, were fully vaccinated.

Earlier in this year, Dr. Merrilee Fullerton, Ontario’s Minister of Long-Term Care issued a requirement for long-term care facilities to come up with and implement an immunization policy by July 1. These policies require long-term care employees to either present proof of vaccination, have a medical reason for not being vaccinated or participate in an education program about the benefits of being vaccinated and the risks of not being vaccinated.

Furthermore, on Aug. 17 Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore stated that the above requirements would be extended to hospitals, home care service providers, paramedic staff and other highrisk settings.

Those employees who work in a high-risk setting who do not provide proof of vaccination will have to undergo regular antigen

testing. Moore stated that these policies would have to go into effect no later than Sept. 7.

Steven Golden, Administrator of Glen Stor Dun Lodge told Seaway News that 76 per cent of staff members at the facility are double vaccinated with two per cent having received just one dose of the vaccine. He said that those who have not been fully vaccinated must still undergo rapid COVID-19 testing twice a week.

Golden did note that some staff members who underwent the educational program about vaccines did then choose to get vaccinated.

“While we continue to encourage everyone who works at the Lodge to get vaccinated, we will continue to respect and support the individual choices by continuing to provide them with educational information about COVID-19 vaccination so they can make an informed decision,” Golden wrote in an email to Seaway News.

Mayor Grant explained that he, and other municipalities were waiting on the province to provide direction on vaccine mandates and COVID-19 testing requirements for employees.

“We don’t want to make a decision then find out later that the province is going in a different direction,” he said.

Return to the classroom NICK SEEBRUCH

8 - Wednesday, September 1, 2021

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

In less than one week most school age students will be back in the classroom. After two highly disruptive years, let’s hope that the 2021-2022 class of students get the chance to experience some normalcy, and a return to the activities that so many missed out on over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The loss of milestones like prom and graduation were an unfortunate necessity of the pandemic, but one who’s impacts I think many will feel for a long time. Now that we have a vaccine against this virus, let’s hope that these milestones can be re-introduced in a safe way.

As of Aug. 18, the province has approved the distribution of the Pfizer version of the COVID-19 vaccine to all youth born in 2009 or earlier. If your young one hasn’t received the vaccine yet, go out and get them the shot. Not only will it protect them, but also it will protect their peers and teachers around them and give them the best chance of having a normal school year.

While we see that light at the end of the tunnel that is a return to normalcy for our school aged youth, one feature of the pandemic that I fear will remain with us is remote learning.

I think that remote learning is a great option for kids who might not be able to succeed scholastically any other way, and that could be for a number of

3 MINUTES WITH THE MPP

JIM MCDONELL MPP STORMONT-DUNDAS-SOUTH GLENGARRY

We are nearing the end of a hot summer, with school just around the corner.

In the first week of August, the Minister of Education, Stephen Lecce, announced $1.6 billion in additional funding to help protect students and staff from COVID19 and add essential student supports.

health or other pedagogical issues.

What I don’t agree with is making remote learning a permanent option for any student who may want it whether they really require it or not.

My concern is that remote learning is currently the biggest threat that brickand-mortar schools face. The one of the biggest expenses for any school board are the physical buildings that they own. Five years ago, our area witnessed as local school boards attempted to consolidate and close certain schools in the region due to low attendance rates. Schools like SJ McLeod Public School in South Glengarry were closed due to it having just a few dozen students.

I feel that if more and more students begin taking their education in a remote form only, that we will see a drop in attendance at regional schools and that boards will be very tempted to cut that big expense of owning buildings which will lead to school closures.

This worry is not farfetched either. No one less than Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) Chair John McAllister called the Ministr y of Education’s expansion of remote learning options “a serious threat to small rural schools.”

More students going to school remotely also means less busing that’s required, which is another major expense for the school boards, one that is only growing thanks to rising gas prices.

While saving money on buses and buildings might be a big boon for school boards, I don’t know what they would do with those savings that would counteract what might be lost.

At the beginning of this column I talked about lost milestones over the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Think about all of the other milestones and experiences that might be lost if a local, rural school is closed due to shrinking attendance thanks to remote learning.

Social interactions, events, sports all could be threatened if attendance at rural schools drops. Five years ago when the UCDSB was undergoing the process of consolidation and closing some rural schools, I heard from parents and community members who were concerned about what their local school closing would mean for their

community. Parents explained that for rural communities like Alexandria, Williamstown, Ingleside and Lancaster that their rural school was a hub for their community. A place where their children can go and learn locally.

It is now important for parents to hold school boards and provincial politicians accountable to ensure that it is safe for their kids to return to the classroom and on their own parts they must get their children vaccinated and vigilantly screen them for any COVID symptoms.

I talked a lot in this column about a return to normalcy, but there are some after affects of this pandemic that we will be grappling with for a long time and remote learning is one of them.

What are your thoughts on remote learning? Email nseebruch@seawaynews.media

Two weeks later, mandatory vaccination and antigen testing protocols were issued for public institutions, including hospitals, Long Term Care and retirement homes, public schools, and post-secondary institutions. Many organizations and institutions are establishing restrictions to prohibit unvaccinated individuals. We know that more restrictive policies will be needed when the weather cools and we move back indoors. The recent drop-off in vaccinations has weakened our first line of defence against this virus, triggered a pause in our exit from Step 3 of our Reopening Ontario plan, and will require further restrictions to protect against a

fourth wave. The contagious Delta variant has become the dominant strain in Ontario, and the best defence is a fully vaccinated population. If you haven’t done so, book your vaccinations by visiting www.eohu.ca for details.

This past summer has given us a taste of the new normal, as we are now able to reunite with family and friends in larger gatherings. Favourite outings, such as RibFest and some local fairs, have welcomed back many visitors. I encourage you to get out to attend these local events and thank the organizers and volunteers for their hard work.

Finally, the pandemic has taught us many lessons, including the importance

of reliable high-speed internet.

Throughout the month, our Government released its very ambitious plan to connect all remaining households in the province with a minimum speed of 50/10 Mbps by 2025. Our $4 billion commitment is the largest of any government in Canada and will make us the North American leader in broadband. It is a crucial component of Ontario’s economic recovery plan.

Remember to stay safe.

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

One thing the challenged StormontDundas-South Glengarry Liberal campaign team has going for itself in its uphill battle is a political war horse named Denis Sabourin, modestly self-described as a campaign team volunteer.

To say the politically savvy Sabourin has been around the election block a few times is an understatement.

As the saying goes, he has been there, done that. This isn’t his first rodeo.

Sabourin failed to score a touchdown in a pair of provincial elections, a federal election and stab at city council. He calls himself an “unsuccessful politician.”

It wasn’t all zeros. He was elected to the English Catholic School Board in 1991.

Well, sort of. He was acclaimed. Local Catholic school supporters were wellserved by him for 15 years before he stepped aside.

But when it comes to behind-the-scenes, backroom campaign experience, Sabourin has a solid resume.

He worked with Bob Kilger from 1994 until 2005 when Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry voters sent the former NHL referee to the locker room.

The next year Sabourin was back on the Hill as Liberal MP Larry Bagnell’s chief of staff. Bagnell was parliamentary secretary to the minister of natural resources.

He was out of politics when Bagnell, from the Yukon, was defeated in 2011, but four years later Bagnell was back and he put out the call to Sabourin. He left the Hill for good in 2019.

He now works as a paralegal with his

own firm.

Long before he got into politics, Sabourin was a journalist, toiling in newspaper and radio. So, he has a firm understanding of how the media game works.

In all, Sabourin brings 30 years of political experience, 20 serving on Ground Zero (Parliament Hill), to Team Moquin.

CAMPAIGN CHATTER – Denis Moquin picked up the moniker “Hollywood” while he was a city cop. Moquin had a penchant for being nattily dressed and well groomed, in and out of uniform. ... How fast did Eric Duncan and his Blue Machine come out of the gate? Before there was a confirmed challenger, more than 700 Duncan signs up were up in the riding. ... Closest local federal, or provincial for that matter, election was in 1962 when Lucien Lamoureux nipped incumbent Tory Grant Campbell by 70 votes. Campbell had wrestled the riding from the Liberal’s tight grip in the 1957 Diefenbaker sweep, defeating incumbent Albert Lavigne. Lamoureux’s victory came in a by-election called after Lavigne died during the federal election campaign. ... You can take this to the bank: Justin Trudeau will not be making a campaign stop in Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry. He disappointed local Libs when he didn’t at least make a cameo appearance for Bernadette Clement in the 2015 election.

THIS AND THAT Cornwall Police Service has the unique situation of having a police chief still on the payroll until Dec. 31, an acting chief who is expected to be swornin in October and a soon-to-be appointed acting deputy chief. ... The number of active COVID-19 cases in the Eastern Ontario Health Unit region has been climbing. In the last two weeks the number has shot up to 56 (as of Monday) from seven on Aug. 6. Cornwall’s count reached 15 on

Monday, up from two cases on Aug. 23.

However, the number of persons in hospital has remained at one over the last few weeks. Since July 4 there has been just one COVID-19 death in the Eastern region.

Of the 103 cases in August, only three were in the 65 and over bracket, while 35 under-20 residents were diagnosed.

THIS MONTH IN 1970 - St. Lawrence High School launched the school year with 35 new teachers and 2,100 students.

This was a time when school boards were begging for teachers and administration was trying to figure out where to put everybody. There was such a shortage of class space, the rifle range at CCVS was converted to a make-shift classroom. ...

Cornwall Armoury maintenance staff were attempting to scrub peace symbols sprayed on the outside wall. “We’ve tried everything (to remove the paint) but gunpowder,” said one maintenance worker. ...

With the trolley bus era over, Cornwall Street Railway crews were removing 46 miles of trolley cables. That’s right. We once had buses powered by electricity. ...

City council voted to move ahead with construction of a $1.3 million, four-storey building to house the police department and courts. To reduce the cost, underground parking was removed from the plans. ... Eight people were homeless after fire swept through a tenement at 154-156 Montreal Rd. The blaze started when oil from an oil burner line the tenant was attempting to repair caught fire. The burner exploded. ... The Tri-County (Public) School Board reported that the student-teacher ratio in most of its high schools was 16-1. ... Ontario minimum wage increased to $1.65 an hour. ...

Dear Editor I am deeply concerned about reports that Canada has left behind Afghan nationals and their families that supported our

our residents are unable to decide on who they think will best provide for the interests of this entire City. We are not stupid and no matter if there are 32 candidates on the ballot, we can intelligently discern who would best serve our municipality. We know our people. “Known faces” in this community do not have “a distinct and unfair advantage.” What they have is intense scrutiny by the electors. If they don’t produce or show wisdom, we vote them out. Plain and simple.

Actually, all of our (10) Councillors—no matter where they live—have the responsibility to be familiar with the problems and

priorities of each and every single locality.

The ward system will not change that; but it could lead to a very divisive municipality again. Through the years, the City has shown itself to be very proactive and has established so many master plans for construction, recreation, lot requirements (Official Plan) etc., and of course, the infamous strategic plans composed by all of Council. A ward system will not change the progress or the process. That is a total fallacy. Projects are prioritized according to projected need (including preventative maintenance), the relevant “plan,” and the budget process, while always

Re: Wards Dear Editor After reviewing all of the City reports on the ward system, I agree with Mr. Scrivener on one issue. Too many residents have complained about Councillors not even bothering to respond to their complaints, queries, or suggestions. If true, that is totally unacceptable and must be corrected.

Without correction, it would be wrong to think that the ward system will change that.

I have lived in this awesome City for over 50 years (not 6 yrs); and I have given the better part of 42 years dedicating my life to working for this City in various capacities. I refuse to believe or have anyone imply that

If the purpose of proposing the ward system is to limit the constraints on Councillors of campaigning city-wide, shame on you. I admire any and all who are willing to represent the entirety of this awesome City to the best of their ability; and I have little respect for anyone who proposes an unnecessary change such as this in order to do less than that. Just saying.

CAROL GODDARD, SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS CORNWALL, Ontario – On Saturday August 28, a group of local historians and community leaders gathered just south of the Cornwall Community Museum for the “official viewing” of a mural, painted by St. Andrews West artist Alexandra MacDonald, transforming a retaining wall into a work of art depicting vignettes of our local history.

The ceremony began at 9 a.m., with Town Crier Wes Libbey reading a proclamation, followed by Kat Rendek, Project Coordinator for the City of Cornwall, introducing Cornwall Mayor Glen Grant who welcomed people to the event, before commenting the mural is an important addition to the city’s waterfront, with museum curator Don Smith thanking the City of Cornwall for their efforts.

Chief Vanessa Adams, Mohawk Council of Akwesasne commented she is encouraged by the acknowledgement by the Cornwall Community Museum to acknowledge our shared history, with SDSG MPP Jim McDonell mentioning the mural provides an opportunity to celebrate our proud local history.

Rendek provided some background to the project, expressing how the mural provided an opportunity for collaboration with community stakeholders as well as bringing public art into the community. After introducing MacDonald, the artist described the background to the images painted on the retaining wall. Images included in the mural include references to the Mohawk Pictured from left-to-right: SDSG MPP Jim McDonell, Cornwall Mayor Glen Grant, Lily people, the United Empire Loyalists, the coureur Worrall, Town Crier Wes Libbey, District Chief Vanessa Adams, Alexandra MacDonald, Kat Rendek.

SVW returns with Unlocked NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Seaway Valley Wrestling (SVW) returned to the joy of their fans with their Unlocked event in the Legion Ball Park on Saturday, Aug. 28.

Saturday’s event was the first event that SVW has held since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The outdoor event took place during a tournament for Cornwall Minor Baseball, and was well attended by both adults and their kids who came over to watch the action between games.

“The event was excellent considering the obstacles we had to overcome,” said SVW Commissioner Alain Allaire.

The occasional drops of rain that fell on Saturday did nothing to dampen the fiery performances of talent like local Ryan Donovan, Sally, Junior Benito and of course the wild main event between “Hardcore” Channing Decker and “Moondog” Dylan Davis in an Anything Goes Match.

The event also left the crowd excited for more SVW action as Big Daddy D Roy and arch-rival “The Immaculate” Ray St. Jean signed a match contract for the SVW Championship.

This free event also helped raise over $700 for Cornwall Minor Baseball.

Sally is ready for Black Widow Eve (Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News).

CCH to Implement Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination Policy NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Community Hospital announced on Friday, Aug. 27 that it would implement a mandatory vaccination policy for all staff members, as well as volunteers and contractors.

On Aug. 17, Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore issued a directive that institutions must implement a vaccination policy where COVID-19 was deemed to be a high-risk including hospitals, women’s shelters, and other congregate living settings.

Unvaccinated staff members will have until Sept. 7 to receive their first dose of a

COVID-19 vaccine and until Oct. 15 to receive their second dose.

“By taking a phased approach, CCH is ensuring that staff who have not yet been vaccinated have the necessary time to receive both doses,” reads a statement from the CCH. “CCH will also provide education and consultation on the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines to ensure unvaccinated staff are fully informed.”

The CCH states that it is exploring ways to enforce the policy if some staff members still refuse to be vaccinated.

“The hospital will be considering all options to effectively enforce our policy should unvaccinated staff not comply with

the requirements to be fully vaccinated by October 15,” reads a statement from the CCH emailed to Seaway News.

The guidelines for a vaccination policy as set out by Dr. Moore require staff in these high-risk institutions to either present proof of vaccination, present a medical reason for why they cannot be vaccinated, or undergo an education program about the benefits of vaccination and the risks of not being vaccinated.

The CCH states that 86 per cent of its staff are vaccinated with the vaccination rate among its medical staff being 99 per cent.

“CCH proudly cares for some of our area’s

most vulnerable patients, such as youth or people who may come to our hospital to receive chemotherapy, dialysis, and critical care. They shouldn’t have to worry about contracting COVID-19 or the vaccination status of our healthcare workers,” said Jeanette Despatie, President and CEO. “From the onset of this pandemic, CCH made a commitment to our staff, physicians and community that we would do everything we could to ensure their safety. Mandating vaccines for COVID-19, as we do for other infectious diseases, is simply the right thing to do.”

With the start of a new school year on the horizon, you may be wondering how to ensure your mornings aren’t spent frantically rushing around. Here are some tips to help you create a stress-free morning routine.

START THE NIGHT BEFORE One way to save time in the morning is to comIf you want to provide your child with more edu- plete any tasks you can the night before. Be cational websites to explore, ask their teacher sure to get your kids involved. They can set the table for breakfast, put their gym bag by the for suggestions. front door and lay out the clothes they want to wear.

A guide to insulated food containers If your child doesn’t have easy access to a microwave at school, consider packing their lunch in an insulated food container. This is an ideal way for them to enjoy hot meals. Here are some things to keep in mind if you plan to purchase one.

WHAT TO BUY Since an insulated food container won’t retain heat as long if it’s only half full, choose a model based on the typical portion size you serve your child. Opt for a container with a large opening, as it’ll be easier to fill and clean. Additionally, look for terms such as “double wall” and “vacuum insulation” in the product description to ensure meals stay hot for more than a few hours.

If you select a stainless-steel insulated food container, keep in mind that this material is highly efficient at retaining heat. Therefore, you’ll need to make sure it’s cool enough to the touch that there’s no risk of your child getting burnt.

How to streamline your morning routine

HOW TO USE IT Never put an insulated food container in the microwave. Instead, fill it with boiling water and let it sit for at least 10 minutes.

Additionally, heat the food to a high temperature (too hot to eat right away) before placing it in the container. This will prevent bacteria growth. If you heat up a meal in the microwave, stir it to ensure the heat is evenly distributed before you place it in the container. Be sure to immediately seal the lid.

Note that food won’t stay hot for long in an insulated food container unless there’s some liquid in it. Therefore, avoid di­shes such as fried rice and grilled meats, and opt instead for soups, stews and chili.

Finally, even if the manufacturer claims the container is dish­washer safe, it’s best to clean it by hand. This will ensure it stays in good condition and won’t lose its thermal capa­bilities. If there’s a lingering scent in the container, fill it with hot water and baking soda, and let it sit for a few hours.

adjust to the new school year, and don’t hesitate to divide up tasks between family members.

INCLUDE SOME FREE TIME Schedule 10 minutes of free time for your children in the morning. Not only will they be tempted to get ready faster so they can play, but you’ll also have some time for yourself. Additionally, this serves as a good buffer if something unexpected comes up.

Happy back-to-school season!

BE CONSISTENT As much as possible, do things in the same order every day. This will help make your mornings more efficient and ensure no one forgets to brush their teeth.

For young children, an established routine can also help them become more independent.

MAKE ADJUSTMENTS It’s likely that you’ll need to implement a few changes before you find a morning routine that works for everyone. Give yourself time to

ture games and exercises to help young students refresh their memory in subjects like math, history and science. Exploring these websites may get your kids excited about learning again.

1. Review their notes. While not the most exciting assignment, flipping through no­ tes and worksheets from the previous school year can be an effective way to remind kids of what they learned. Pay close attention to concepts they struggled with.

3. Stock up on books. If your children haven’t done much reading during the summer, get them back into the habit by heading to your local library or bookstore. From no­ vels to biographies and comics to non-fiction books, there’s something for every interest.

2. Test their knowledge online. There are numerous kid-friendly websites that fea-

Additionally, there are plenty of ways to review your children’s know­ ledge in your daily life. For example, put their math and reading skills to the test in the kitchen by following a re­ cipe. Remember, learning is more enjoyable for kids when they’re having fun.

2. Pick up the books and materials you need right away.

3. Take notes in class, and don’t hesitate to ask questions.

4. Make a plan for how to meet deadlines and avoid procrastinating.

5. Find out what material you’ll be tested on, and review it regularly.

6. Create outlines for your written assignments to better organize your thoughts.

7. Begin group projects by assigning clear roles and deadlines to each team member.

8. Review your exams and assign-

Finally, don’t hesitate to get advice from the various professionals on campus. Financial aid officers, career advisers, counsellors and other staff members are available to help.

5 tips for making kid-approved lunches Are you looking for ways to encourage your kids to eat healthy food at school? Here are a few tricks to make the contents of their lunchbox irresistible.

1. CREATE VISUAL APPEAL Choose colourful foods, and arrange them in reusable containers that have several compartments. This will help keep ingredients looking and tasting fresh. Plus, your kids will have fun creating new combinations with every bite.

2. ALTERNATE INGREDIENTS Keep things interesting by varying the type of bread you use for sandwiches. English muffins, pitas, bagels and tortillas are all great options.

You can also mix things up with meat and plant-based proteins, and serve fruit in a variety of forms (dried, puréed, in salads, etc.).

3. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF LEFTOVERS Did your kids really enjoy last night’s dinner? To keep the excitement going and save yourself some time, simply put the leftovers in an insulated food container. Similarly, you can prepare a large batch of their favourite hot meal to use as lunches during the week.

4. INCLUDE NUTRITIOUS SNACKS If your children have a habit of not

HEALTHY BODY, HEALTHY MIND One of the best ways to stay productive, maximize your learning and reduce your stress is to make time to eat healthy meals and exercise regularly.

Finally, consider getting your children involved in preparing their lunch. If they have fun putting it together, they’ll likely be excited to eat it.

down into several steps. This will help ting dis­ prevent your children from get­ couraged. If they encounter a problem, guide them to a solution by asking questions rather than immediately providing an answer.

• Create a chart or calendar outlining your children’s responsibilities (setting the table, helping do the groceries, brushing their teeth, etc.). If your children can’t read yet, use pictures or symbols to help them keep track of their chores.

Finally, remember to highlight your child’s successes, and praise them for trying even if things don’t go as planned.

In order for children to develop their problem-solving skills, improve their self-esteem and ultimately be academically successful, they need to learn to be independent. Here are some ways to encourage your children to do more on their own.

• Assign your children an increasing number of responsibilities according to their age, abilities and maturity level. Avoid giving them too many new duties at once or choosing tasks for which they don’t have all the necessary skills yet.

• When you assign your children a new responsibility, take the time to clearly explain how to complete the task. Supervise them the first few ti­mes, but avoid stepping in to do the job yourself. Remember to be patient, and repeat instructions if necessary.

• If a task is particularly challenging, break it

finishing their meal, make sure they have healthy and filling snacks on hand to give them the energy they need to get through the day. Think yogurt, trail mix or a legume pâté spread on crackers.

5. PROVIDE PROTEIN-RICH OPTIONS On days when you’re pressed for time and need to opt for a ready-made meal and packaged snacks, be sure to favour ones with healthy ingredients that are high in protein and fibre.

L’HCC instaure une politique de vaccination obligatoire contre la COVID-19 COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE L’HCC CORNWALL, Ontario - L’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall (HCC) exigera que tout son personnel, les médecins, les entrepreneurs, les bénévoles ainsi que les étudiantes et les étudiants soient vaccinés contre la COVID-19 d’ici au 15 octobre 2021.

La nouvelle politique, approuvée à l’unanimité par le Conseil d’administration de l’établissement, suit la publication de la directive no 6 du médecin hygiéniste en chef de l’Ontario, le 17 août, qui énonce les exigences concernant les politiques de vaccination des travailleuses et des travailleurs de la santé aux termes de la Loi sur la protection et la promotion de la santé.

Depuis, selon une tendance croissante dans l’ensemble de la province et à l’échelle régionale, les hôpitaux adoptent des politiques de vaccination obligatoire contre la COVID-19.

Actuellement, plus de 86 % du personnel et 99 % du personnel médical à l’HCC sont entièrement vaccinés. Grâce à la nouvelle politique, l’établissement s’attend à ce que tous les membres de son organisation soient immunisés, soit une étape importante pour garantir la sécurité du personnel,

des médecins, des patientes et des patients. « L’HCC s’occupe fièrement de certaines des personnes les plus vulnérables de la région, par exemple des jeunes et des gens qui se présentent à l’hôpital pour des traitements de chimiothérapie, de dialyse ou des soins aux malades en phase critique, dit la présidente et directrice générale de l’HCC, Jeanette Despatie. Ces personnes ne devraient pas avoir à s’inquiéter de contracter la COVID-19, ni du statut vaccinal de nos travailleuses et travailleurs de la santé. » Les membres du personnel non vaccinés ont jusqu’au 7 septembre pour recevoir leur première dose et jusqu’au 15 octobre pour obtenir la deuxième. En suivant une approche progressive, l’HCC s’assure que le personnel n’ayant toujours pas été vacciné aura le temps nécessaire pour recevoir les deux doses.

L’HCC informe aussi les gens sur l’aspect sécuritaire et efficace des vaccins contre la COVID-19 et mène des consultations à ce sujet pour que le personnel non vacciné soit pleinement renseigné. « Dès le début de la pandémie, l’HCC s’est engagé auprès de son personnel, des médecins et de la communauté à faire tout

dans le cas d’autres maladies infectieuses, c’est tout simplement la bonne chose à faire. »

Vous désirez planter des arbres en 2022 ? La CNS rappelle aux propriétaires fonciers de commander dès maintenant!

14 - Le mercredi 1 septembre, 2021

- Cornwall Express - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LA CNS FINCH, Ontario - Après une saison de plantation record en 2021, avec plus de 230 000 arbres plantés dans son bassin versant de 4 441 km2 dans l’Est de l’Ontario, la Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) invite les propriétaires fonciers à planifier leurs projets de plantation d’arbres du printemps 2022 !

La CNS organise actuellement des visites sur place et accepte les commandes d’arbres et d’arbustes indigènes de provenance locale offerts à prix réduit dans le cadre de divers programmes de plantation administrés par l’Office de protection de la nature.

Les résidents intéressés par de petits projets de plantation peuvent commander un minimum de 100 semis d’arbres en vente libre auprès de la CNS. L’Office de protection de la nature tient à jour une liste des espèces d’arbres en stock sur son site Web, mais signale que les quantités sont limitées et que de nombreuses espèces sont déjà épuisées.

Le prix par semis peut être aussi bas que 0,59 $ selon l’espèce.

Les propriétaires de grands espaces ouverts d’au moins un acre peuvent réaliser des économies considérables en achetant des arbres à la CNS dans le cadre du programme 50 millions d’arbres de Forests

Ontario, qui est financé par la CNS et le gouvernement fédéral. Ce programme fournit les semis, la plantation, la préparation du site ou l’entretien pour 0,26 $ par arbre pour les conifères, et 0,56 $ par arbre pour les feuillus, ce qui rend le reboisement de terrains inutilisés incroyablement abordable.

La CNS offre également des subventions pour la plantation d’arbres d’un acre le long des champs agricoles et des cours d’eau afin de réduire l’érosion, de protéger la qualité de l’eau et d’augmenter le couvert forestier. « Bien que l’été soit encore chaud, il est important que les propriétaires fonciers commencent le processus dès maintenant pour déterminer d’abord s’ils sont éligibles aux subventions pour la plantation d’arbres, puis réserver leur visite gratuite du site pour cet automne », a déclaré Caroline Goulet, forestière de la CNS. « Il est à noter que cette année, les résidents qui souhaitent planter moins de 1 000 arbres seront limités à une seule espèce afin d’améliorer l’efficacité du programme et d’augmenter le taux de survie des arbres. Des exceptions seront faites pour les plantations agroforestières, comme les érablières ou les bosquets de noix. » Depuis 1990, la CNS a planté plus de 3,4 millions d’arbres dans le paysage local grâce à des par tenariats municipaux et

communautaires. Les choses commencent bien puisqu’environ 195 000 arbres ont déjà été réservés pour le printemps 2022 ! En moyenne, depuis 1990, l’Office de protection de la nature a planté 119 000 arbres par an. « Nous pouvons tous bénéficier de la plantation d’arbres ; ils offrent de nombreux avantages et services aux gens et à

l’environnement, et il existe une variété d’espèces convenant à chaque propriété » , a ajouté Madame Goulet.

Pour plus d’informations sur les commandes d’arbres, les programmes de plantation et les subventions, veuillez consulter le site www.nation.on.ca/land/forestry-services/tree-planting-services ou appeler le 1-877-984-2948.

Tie-dying tote bags for some summer fun NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

LONG SAULT, Ontario – Long Sault resident Celine Labelle held a fun and colourful event for kids in her community this past weekend.

Labelle helped 35 kids tie-dye tote bags so they can carry their towels to the spalshpad in a colourful and unique way.

This was the latest in a series of events that Labelle has held in Long Sault during the pandemic to help bring joy and comfort to local children during a time that has been stressful for many.

Earlier in 2021 Labelle invited children to come and paint a large blank canvas that she

had attached to her fence in Long Sault, and earlier this summer, she held a scavenger hunt that saw 44 families participate.

The scavenger hunt had kids follow clues throughout the community before ending at Sunset Cove to get their bag of treats which included popcorn from the Happy Popcorn Co., glow sticks, sparklers and other sweet treats.

Food was provided by the local Legion who held a BBQ and hot dogs were donated by O’Neill’s Pub. “The idea of finishing at the Sunset Cove Retirement Residence was so the elderly could see the kids bike down or run down to the end, the kids would wave to them and smile and we thought that would be a nice way to brighten

their day,” said Labelle.

Labelle was able to hold these events thanks to a prize she won by entering a contest held by Dairy Queen Cornwall and the Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation (CCHF).

“It’s not a huge set up, however if there’s anything I’ve learned from these projects I’ve done here in the community this summer is that it doesn’t matter how big or small the event is, the community and the kids love coming together to have fun and share smiles and laughter,” Labelle said.

Labelle says that she still has some money leftover from the contest and will be pitching ideas in her community’s Facebook group as to Lily and Sophia Chouinard with their tie-dye tote bags. Submitted photo. what event should be done next.

GEMINI: You’ll spend time with your family or at home. You might also decide to invest in doing a regular activity with loved ones that brings you joy and helps you unwind. It might take a long time to negotiate with certain people.

CANCER: You won’t hold your tongue, and your words are likely to be misunderstood. You’ll inevitably have to lead by example so that people understand what you mean. Af­fection must be part of a healthy and ba­lanced relationship.

Shar’s Tip of the Week Smoke alarms may save your life someday, so they’re worth a few minutes of your time every so often. We all know enough to test the battery of the battery-powered type about once a month, but it’s also important to keep

the innards of any type of smoke alarm clean, if we want to be sure it will shriek when we need it to. Pull off the cover and vacuum out the accumulated dust inside at least once a year,using a dusting brush attachment. Vacuum off the perforated sensing chamber, making sure the openings are open and not blocked by lint. While you have the cover off, you can wash it in soapy water, dry completely and replace.

When there is a family breakdown, there are numerous ways to resolve the issues in an amicable fashion without the necessity of bringing the file to court and having a judgement imposed on the separating parties. In fact, that is what happens in the majority of cases and it saves the family time, stress and significant legal fees.

That being said, the savings must stop somewhere. Everyone should get legal advice before they sign a legal document. Asking for a lawyer’s opinion and assistance is not a sign of weakness. Nor is it a good old “on guard” with your former partner.

If the other person is upset that you want a lawyer to review the proposed agreement before you sign it, they may be trying to include something that is not to your benefit. Those “pillow talk agreements” generally find persuasive strength in the imbalance of power your ex is trying to exploit one last time.

At the end of the day, a lawyer cannot sign your family contract. You will. You can give everything up if you want but keep in mind that you need to know what it is that you are giving up.

What are your rights and responsibilities? Do you truly understand what it is that you are signing? That is the key.

Your lawyer advises you on your options within a set of choices. You decide on what you settle as per your preferences among the sets of choices. Plain and simple.

Do not rely on your friends for legal advice. Do not rely on your ex-spouse as to what you are entitled to. At the end of the day, everyone is acting in their own best interest. The only person that you can count on for objective legal advice that pertains only to you is YOUR lawyer. *Only my clients get my legal advice. This is strictly general legal information. If you think you have a legal issue, please, hire a lawyer. It can even be me. I can be reached via email at jodie@yourlawfirm.ca

Jane in Bonville, again says, my vegetable were a washout. One small squash BUT, my big yellow daisies and roses were really spectular! Best flowers in 22 years. Really great. I let ONE hops plant grow and it took over the whole screened area. No getting rid of them, million buds on it. Lots of small apples and a few pears. I don’t know how farmers do it when every year fluctuates so much. Also, whoever borrowed my pitch fork, please return it, I need it!!!!!

Sad to see that the City of Cornwall pools have been closed for the season. I feel like we still have some nice weather left this summer and I think the pools would still see use if the City was able to staff them.

144,000 reasons to say thank you!

It was a sweltering day, but even the heat couldn’t stop the goodwill and generosity that flooded our phone lines, provided to us once again by Cogeco Business Solutions.

“Hearing the news that we reached the finish line and can soon provide BSL surgical technology to local women at CCH was thrilling,” says Dr. Sahar Shirazi. “I’m lucky to work with fantastic clinical teams, from surgery to diagnostic imaging and pathology. By offering BSL surgeries, we can provide the same care for our patients with nonpalpable breast cancer that they would otherwise have to find in Ottawa.”

With an original base project goal of $85,000 our community’s outstanding generosity will allow us to purchase additional equipment making the BSL program even stronger. Now

Thanks to our donors, sponsors, and partners, together we raised $144,000 in support of a project that will see CCH join only a handful of hospitals across Canada with access to a special kind of cancer care. By offering Breast Seed Localization (BSL) surgical technology to patients with nonpalpable breast cancer, Dr. Sahar Shirazi can offer the same opportunities as Ottawa, right here at home.

From 6:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. last Wednesday, BOOM 101.9 FM and Fresh 104.5 broadcast stories of grateful breast cancer patients who attribute their lives to Dr. Sahar Shirazi’s care, of sponsors who encouraged the community to support local women’s health, and of experts from CCH’s medical teams who explained the exceptional project at hand.

YOUR CCHF CHECKUP

AMY GILLESPIE CORNWALL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL FOUNDATION

For the second year in a row, Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation has conducted our largest fundraiser – the Corus Caring Hearts Radiothon – amid a global pandemic. And, for the second time in as many years, our expectations have been surpassed by this incredible community.

reaching a cost close to $130,000, remaining funds from the Corus Caring Hearts Radiothon will support urgently needed medical equipment to enhance and save lives across our hospital. Teams at CCH are already hard at work preparing the final stages of the BSL project to benefit local women with nonpalpable breast cancer who are eligible for this procedure. Based on current projections, BSL surgeries will be ready to implement later this fall.

This project is just one example of how your donations to CCHF contribute to the good health of our community. To learn more about our Hospital Foundation, please like our Facebook page @CornwallHospitalFoundation, or visit our website at www.cornwallhospitalfoundation.ca.
