Reality of contracting COVID-19 and being in an ICU at the CCH NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Brenda Lee Legault has been in the Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH)’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU) since mid-August battling COVID-19 and she wants people to know that this virus must be taken seriously, and that they need to get vaccinated.

Legault owns and operated Cold Platter Catering as well as Reliable Tent Rentals and said that she began feeling unwell in late July.

It began as a stomach bug, which then turned into a cough and a loss of taste.

When she began to struggle to breath, she went to the CCH on Aug. 9 and was given a COVID test and prescribed antibiotics. The next day, she was told that the test had come back positive and that she had the Brazilian variant of the COVID-19 virus.

Five days later, her antibiotics were not helping, and her breathing was worsening.

After coughing to the point of vomiting and nearly fainting that night, she was admitted to the hospital the next day on Aug. 15.

When admitted to the hospital, she was put on a ventilator at 90 per cent oxygen.

Thankfully, Legault has been showing signs of improvement and has been weaned down to 50 per cent oxygen.

During her time at the CCH in the ICU she has lost around 21 pounds and will be in the ICU for another week at least.

Legault wants people to know her story so that they take the COVID-19 virus seriously and get their vaccines.

Legault herself was not vaccinated when she contracted COVID-19.

“I didn’t take the vaccine because I was

scared and unsure, so I decided I would take a wait and see approach. I wanted to see if there were going to be any adverse side effects that would reveal themselves in those who had already received the vaccine,” Legault said who added that to avoid serious illness and death, people should get vaccinated.

In addition to telling the community to take COVID-19 seriously and to get their vaccines, Legault also wants the community to know about the wonderful care she has received at the CCH. “My doctor, Dr. Paul Westergaard, has taken care of about 150 patients with COVID said some as young as 45 have died as a result of this virus. Another amazing doctor is Dr. Akram Arab, and also Dr. Renee Givari. THESE DOCTORS ARE AMAZING!!! The nurses are

super nice, loving, and caring, I cannot believe the quality of care I am getting! People need to know what a wonderful caring hospital staff they have here in Cornwall! I am overwhelmed with the kind of care I am receiving,” she wrote in an email to Seaway News.

As for Legault’s business, she wants to assure her loyal customers that she has not gone out of business and will be back. Her store has been sanitized according to Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) standards. Some catering requests that were booked prior to her falling ill are still being taken care of by her capable staff, and thanks to her husband, her tent rental service is still running.

Anyone needing catering or tent rentals can email coldplattercatering@yahoo.ca or call Gilles at 613 932 2373 or gilles@reliabletentrentals.com

The community calendar on Cornwall.ca is back, and it feels good!

IT’S A FACT! EMMA MELDRUM CITY OF CORNWALL

Before the pandemic started, the calendar was full of activities: community events, recreation, music, and more. Then lockdown hit, and the calendar emptied while we stayed safe at home.

We’re still far from normal, but having events back on the calendar is giving me wonderful 2019 vibes.

Here’s a quick look at what’s coming up this month: Thursday, September 9: United Way of SDG Campaign Launch Sunday, September 12: Cornwall Waterfront Farmers’ Market September 17 and 18: Cornwall’s Big Litter Cleanup Day Monday, September 20: Federal election Thursday, September 23: Cornwall Colts Home Game

Saturday, September 25: Apples and Art Studio Tour I’m particularly excited about Cornwall’s Big Litter Cleanup Day. Adopt-a-Street volunteers and City Parks staff collect litter regularly, and their efforts are apparent! This two-day event will give them a boost and help us prepare for a gorgeous autumn. You can register at www.

Cornwall.ca/cleanup Visit www.Cornwall.ca/calendar to check out what’s coming next and submit your own event.

Another list you should take a look at is on www.Cornwall.ca/careers - there are a

number of job openings for positions with the City. We’re hiring paramedics, firefighters, lifeguards, and more! We add job opportunities every week, so be sure to check back regularly.

Finally, www.eohu.ca has a list of upcoming COVID-19 vaccine clinics. The daily clinic at the Benson Centre is closed, but clinics across Eastern Ontario are scheduled to serve anyone needing their first or second jab. The Cornwall vaccination location is back at the Cornwall Square on the second floor.

Technostress among older adults

Do you feel overwhelmed when you turn on your tablet, navigate your social media account or sort through your inbox? If so, you may be experiencing technostress.

First coined in the 1980s, this term refers to feelings of stress, frustration, anxiety and depression that are linked to an inability to cope well with new technologies.

A changing world: Though technostress can be felt by individuals of all ages, it’s particularly common among older adults.

This is largely because most seniors haven’t grown up, gone to school and worked in a plugged-in environment the way younger people have. As a result, the ability to adapt to changing technologies doesn’t come easily, which can lead to an array of negative feelings like despair, distress and shame.

A recent study: In 2018, researcher Galit Nimrod conducted a study to assess technostress among 500 seniors in Israel.

The results indicated that older adults tend to experience stress when faced with new technologies and feel pressured to use them. The study also revealed that older adults who struggle to adapt often compare themselves to so-called digital

Summerheights Golf Links 2021 Club Championship PROVIDED BY SUMMERHEIGHTS GOLF LINKS CORNWALL, Ontario - Much like the summer of 2021 C-19 has continued to affect everyday life. Although Golf got off to an early start in April the game was abruptly disrupted with a mandate to close Golf Courses in Ontario. On May 22nd play was permitted to resume for the summer of 2021. C-19 protocols and restrictions similar to 2020 remained in place but did relax somewhat as vaccines were rolled out and case numbers went down.

Management at Summerheights Golf Links determined in the best interest of its members that Club Championship Competitions would follow the format played in 2020. The decision was based on continuing to maintain Self Distancing and eliminating the chance of exceeding bubble

or gathering limitations (although changed to some to some degree for 2021) as set by the Province.

The 2021 Club Championship was again held over a two-week period commencing August 22 through September 4th. Players were required to play one round of 18 holes on each the MacLennan & Matheson Courses. Prior to tee off competitors reported to the Starter that he / she would be counting this round toward their 2-day total. A minimum of one Summerheights member and one other player for a minimum of 3 players were to accompany the competitor to attest the score at the end of the round. Additionally, all 3 or the entire foursome could enter & register their respective scores to qualify for the Championships. All players understood that playing conditions, pin & tee placements and weather would

vary over the two-week period, courses would be played as it is presented on the chosen day of play.

Scores tabulated; the Club Champions were announced & Trophy presentations were held on Sunday September 5th: Ladies Club Champion: Irma Leduc Men’s Club Champion: Marcel Marion Junior Club Champion: Camden McQuaig Ladies A Class: Gail Adams Men’s A Class: Richard LeFebvre Ladies B Class: Jeanine Pilon Men’s B Class: Dean Carson Ladies C Class: Joanne Hanna Men’s Senior 55+: Don Hanna Men’s Super Senior 65 -70: Real Hudon Ladies Legends +70: Ann Leduc Men’s Legends 71+ Ray McDonald / Darwin McEwen

Remembering 9-11, 20 years later

BY ROXANNE OUELLETTE

Many of us remember all too well where we were on September 11, 2001, when we first heard about the planes crashing into the Twin Towers in New York City.

I was at work, deep in the trenches of a marijuana grow op, gleefully ripping hundreds of plants out of the ground with an eclectic group of 40 police experts. As the photo-journalist for the RCMP magazine, I was tasked to cover the good news operations story.

Little in the RCMP remained unaffected by the terrorist attacks of 9-11. Many members were re-assigned to protect various areas of the country, especially in Ottawa.

A few weeks later, I was invited by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) to visit Ground Zero to write a story about the cleanup of the World Trade Center (WTC) site.

On November 10, 2001, after landing and checking in to my hotel I grabbed my notepad and camera bag and started walking the eight blocks to the site. I could smell the stench of jet fuel just a couple blocks in.

Ahead of me, I could see wisps of dark smoke billowing towards the sky behind several beautiful, untouched buildings.

I arrived at a Ground Zero checkpoint and introduced myself to the NYPD officer at the gate. Officer Frank was my escort, leading me to the “viewing platform”. What I saw spread out before me was quite unreal and almost indescribable: crushed remnants of charred steel, glass and cement for blocks.

One twisted gothic-looking structure was being hosed down. Almost eight weeks after the event, fires still raged several floors in

the underground parking garage. There was enough jet fuel there to keep the fires going for a few more weeks.

Officer Frank happily explained to me how shocked he was when a stranger shook his hand, said thanks and insisted on buying him a coffee. “I was so excited, I called my wife right away,” said the then-15-year veteran of the NYPD. “It’s been that way since September 11. People applaud and cheer us. We’ve never been treated like this.”

It’s stories like these that touched me the most during my visit to NYC on November 10 and 11, 2001 – just two months after the largest terrorist attack in the United States.

Seeing the ruins of the WTC up close was unforgettable, but seeing how New Yorkers had rallied together was simply remarkable.

People like NYPD Sgt. John in the command post who gave me a meticulous re-telling of the terrorist acts. A large chart on the wall had the names of his deceased colleagues written in blue, ones who survived in green.

People like the cab driver, who delivered point-on jokes despite being two-months behind on his rent.

Or the cast of a Broadway play that pleaded “tell your friends not to abandon New York”.

I didn’t sense fear in New York, only steadfast determination and the strength and resilience of the human spirit.

Also, Camp Kagama President David Wattie also mentioned it was the intention of Camp Kagama to honor long time volunteer former Life Member Scott Wilson and the Cornwall Kinsmen Club for the ongoing work and support.

NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – McDougall Insurance celebrated 75 years in business with a local celebration held on Thursday, Aug. 26.

Hunt Insurance was founded in 1955 by Ed Hunt, who recently turned 90-years-old. The firm grew up in Cornwall, having offices at various locations around the city, including at one time being above the former Jade garden Restaurant on Second St. Currently located on Second St. W., Hunt Insurance was sold to Johnson Inc. in 2010. Shortly thereafter, former partner Brian Hunt along with several other colleagues formed Upper Canada Commercial Insurance Group which, in 2015 merged with McDougall Insurance to create McDougall Hunt Insurance Brokers. McDougall

Hunt Insurance is a part of a large network of the McDougall Group with 40 offices, and 450 employees across Eastern and Southern Ontario from Cornwall to Ottawa, to Oshawa and Sudbury.

McDougall Hunt Partner Brian Hunt explained that one key to being a successful business after 75 years was dedication.

“We’ve always focused on great customer service as well as dedication to our clients and our staff,” he said. Going forward, Hunt explained that the McDougall Group plans on continuing to acquire more businesses and grow its network in Ontario, having already acquired six other firms over the past year.

As a part of their celebration on Thursday, McDougall Hunt Insurance presented the Cornwall Boys and Girls Club with a cheque for $2,500.

OOPS! Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

As Sinatra sang, “Mistakes, I’ve made a few, but I did it my way!” In my case, the last part was usually true, but the first part is well beyond any doubt. Let me give a starter list of my mistakes, the ones I’m willing to publicize.

I’ve managed to see and shoot some great photos, then realized there was no SD card in the camera. If you’ve never done that, one day you eventually will.

Back in the days of 35 mm photography, I

removed an exposed film and had the unexposed one in the other hand. You guessed it: I the two mixed up. Net result: the unexposed one got sent away for processing, coming back a week later, all blank. The already exposed one got put back into the camera, all 36 frames got exposed, again, then got processed. 72 double exposures in one cassette. Double bummer!

I rang the doorbell. The very casually dressed couple appeared at the door. There was a look of delight on her face, a look of puzzlement on his.

“Glad to see you! What brings you here today?” Behind her, he was trying to say something with frantic hand gestures. Then it

dawned on me: I was a week early for her surprise birthday party. I was showing up a week early for her surprise birthday party.

“Oh…Yes…Ah, I just happened to be in the area, dropping off this birthday present for my mom.” (I sure hope she doesn’t remember my mother had died over five years earlier.)

Ever Lost a huge file in a computer, never to be retrieved? I have – and if you still haven’t, you eventually will.

It was my first big date with my new lady friend, dinner in a nice restaurant.

Unfortunately, when I asked her what menu item appealed to her, I addressed her by my former wife’s name. Fortunately, she was gracious enough to give no indication she had

even heard that. That’s why she has become my second wife, my keeper wife.

Similarly, have you ever sent your beloved a rather intimate E-mail? Of course you have, and if you haven’t, you should – and often.

However, there may be several people in your E-mail file that begin with the same three or four letters. Check very, very carefully before you hit the send button. There are two things that can never be taken back.

I drove off in a hurry, after doing some work on the canoe. Only when I came to a stop sign did I realize I had not secured the canoe onto the van’s roof.

C’mon, send me the story of some of YOUR mistakes.

Heritage Manor holds street dance MARC BENOIT, SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS CORNWALL, Ontario – It was a wonderful late summer night for residents of Heritage Manor, as they gathered with visitors outside for a lively outdoor gathering at the Manor on Saturday, Aug. 28, 2021. Residents and their families got the opportunity to enjoy live music and the fresh outdoors. Heritage Manor hosted a street dance, with DJ Luc St. Denis performing for a live audience.

“Catherine had the idea, she wanted a street dance…so we decided to make a street dance!” said Linda Dubeau, activity director for Heritage Manor. Dubeau also added this was their first major event since health

restrictions have relaxed. Each resident was allowed to invite up to two family members.

“Well years ago, I can remember Williamstown having a street dance during the summer, and Martintown having a street dance during the summer,” said Catherine Paradis. “It’s just a lot fun!”

In addition to the live performance, guests and residents got to enjoy a delicious outdoor buffet supported by Heritage Manor staff.

Linda Dubeau and Catherine Paradis were thrilled on Saturday, August 29, 2021 as they hosted an outdoor street dance to celebrate the end of summer (Marc Benoit/ Seaway News).

A turning point in the pandemic NICK SEEBRUCH

10 - Wednesday, September 8, 2021

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

This week, it felt like the COVID-19 pandemic has entered a new phase. We saw local hospitals as well as St. Lawrence College introduce COVID-19 vaccine mandate policies requiring staff and students to get vaccinated or show a medical reason why they can’t be.

We also saw a large protest outside of the Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) against their new vaccine policy.

The longer this pandemic has gone on, the less I’ve understood the opposition to the vaccine and other measures that we’ve been asked to undertake for the sake of our own health and the health of others.

For the vast majority of people, the vaccine will have mild side effects. When I received my second dose of the vaccine, I had a sore arm, body aches, and fatigue. It was not picnic, but I’d much rather experience that than have COVID-19.

I interviewed Brenda Lee Legault this week, who’s story encapsulates why we should get vaccinated and avoid getting the COVID-19 pandemic. She was a healthy woman who has been on a ventilator in the Intensive Care Unit at the CCH since mid-August. She wasn’t vaccinated and she has gone through Hell. She is now asking everyone to go out and get vaccinated. I pray that Brenda gets well soon and that she doesn’t experience any lasting effects from her experience with COVID-19.

If we look south to the United States we see states like Florida, Missouri, and Texas where hospitals are filled with patients. You know what most of these people are not suffering from? Side effects from the vaccine. The vast majority of these people filling up the hospital are unvaccinated, so what we are learning here is that the vaccine probably will not send you to the hospital, but the virus will.

For most of us, there will be two results from taking the vaccine; either it will keep us from getting sick and winding up in the hospital, or it won’t. Contracting COVID-19 however, could have long lasting and yet unknown affects to our health.

For the sake of example, viruses like Polio (which vaccines helped to eliminate by the way) and Chicken Pox can have consequences long after someone has contracted the virus. Those who have recovered from Polio can later on suffer from Post-Polio Syndrome, where the virus can re-emerge sometimes years later as muscle weakness and nerve damage.

Those who contracted Chicken Pox as a child can develop shingles as an adult, commonly around or after middle-age.

What about the COVID-19 virus? We do not yet know what sort of surprises this new virus could have in store for the millions who contracted it over the past 18 months. One concrete risk related to contracting COVID-19, especially for those who are hospitalized, is long term lung damage.

As we see COVID-19 cases rise again in the region, we are seeing the number of individuals winding up in the hospital remain relatively low. I hope this continues. This means that the vaccine is working.

The whole goal of the fight against COVID-19 right now is keeping people out of the hospital and even those have gotten vaccinated get sick, but they stay out of the hospital, then that’s a win.

I hope that if we continue to see a rising fourth wave this fall, that the Premier and local health units only enact restrictions based on the rate of hospitalization and not the rate of infection. The more of us who get vaccinated, the better off we will be.

Election promises dripping with red ink Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

I’m starting to think we can’t afford federal elections, at least not every three or four years.

It is not the cost of running an election. That is chump change compared to the billion dollar promises as each party fights to outspend the other. Nobody is talking about how the massive debt is going to be paid off.

For taxpayers, it is akin to a girl wooed with expensive gifts only to find out that Prince Charming was using her credit card and she has to pay it off.

The country went into this election – the one only Trudeau the Younger wanted – up to its eyeballs in new debt.

Now each party is baiting the election hook with promises (thank goodness they aren’t always kept) that will add billions more to the national debt.

The New Dems say if they get a chance at running the country they will make the abundantly wealthy pick up the tab. The Liberals will go after the big banks. Remember the adage that if sounds too good to be true, it probably is (too good to be true). It doesn’t take a graduate of the London School of Economics to figure out who is going to pay.

Perish the thought but we could have another one of these wild coast-to-coast spending sprees in 18 months.

The Younger has “warned” voters that if the Liberals are forced to form another minority government, he could call another election in 18 months, unless of course he gives the Bloc and NDP everything they want.

Now isn’t that a pleasant thought.

Ah, what the heck. The 75-and-over gang could use another $500. ************ It was suggested by one of the StormontDundas-South Glengarry Liberal operatives that Conservative rich Dundas has been a major obstacle for Liberal candidates.

The record doesn’t agree.

Some Liberals candidates have succeeded despite Dundas.

Lucien Lamoureux a Liberal disguised as an Independent had no trouble being re-elected when Dundas joined Stormont to form Stormont -Dundas.

Ed Lumley pick up where Lamoureux left off and carried the riding from 1974 to 1984 when Conservative Norm Warner won the riding in a massive upset. Four years later, Bob Kilger recaptured the riding and the good folks in Dundas, once again, were represented by a Liberal, from 1988 until 2004.

Dundas didn’t keep John Cleary and Jim Brownell from holding down the riding for the Liberals from 1987 to 2011.

If Liberals can’t take back the riding it is not because of Dundas. That’s a cop-out.

THIS MONTH CIRCA 1963 – Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph’s Sisters were scrambling to find places for the 57 residents of St. Paul’s Home for the Aged on York Street after the 57-year-old facility was condemned by the Ontario Fire Marshal’s office. Most of the residents were moved to the Glen-Stor-Dun Lodge and next door to Macdonell Memorial Hospital. Plans to replace the home with a 150-bed facility next to Hotel Dieu Hospital, also operated by the Sisters, fell through when a proposed public campaign to raise $400,000 hit a brick wall. Instead, a scaled down facility on the York Street site, after the home was torn down, was proposed. ... Clifford Hart was named vice-principal of Cornwall Collegiate and Vocational School where he had taught science for eight years. Over at St. Lawrence High School, Rene Brisson and Jean Comtois were named vice-principals. ...

Peter Manley’s 12-year reign as MPP for Stormont came to an end when he was defeated by Fern Guindon, the first Conservative to represent the provincial riding since 1951. ... The monthly SD and G Children’s Aid Society report showed it had given assistance to 41 unmarried mothers, most of them teen-agers, and had 84 children in its care.

In the last 30 days three ultra-conservative U.S. radio hosts who campaigned against the COVID-19 vaccine and masks have succumbed to COVID19. Each had urged his thousands of listeners not to take the vaccine. Each made a deathbed mea culpa with the same message: I was wrong. Take it!

TRIVIA A large slab of concrete covers an opening in the Cornwall dyke at the foot of Cornwall Canal.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR RE: Wards

Dear Editor, Linda Bethune’s service to Cornwall over the years is commendable. Her obvious pride in her city is admirable. However, her stance on wards is troubling. She seems to insinuate that people who have not lived here all their lives cannot contribute to the betterment of the city. My wife and I were residents of Cornwall for 2 years when we introduced the Adopt-a-Street program. It is now a well-entrenched project that benefits all Cornwallites in keeping our city clean.

I take serious umbrage with her statement that choosing qualified people from 32 candidates can be “intelligently discerned.” I would point out to her that in a recent election, one candidate was elected and never participated in one sitting of council. In fact, soon after being elected he moved to Ottawa.

He was on council for quite some time, being paid,

before he was finally removed. He happened to be the person with the most most signs during the campaign. There is no question that name recognition is a major factor in local elections.

Ms. Bethune shows great admiration for the myriad number of master plans and strategic plans of the various councils. The fact is, since the closing of the mills, Corwall has been in the doldrums. On any provincial survey on income or quality of life, Cornwall is near the bottom of Ontario municipalities. It is near the top, though, when it comes to poverty levels.

Wards would definitely help voters to get to know their representative on council. It would also make it easier for them to know if he or she is an effective member of their council. Currently, it is easy for a council member to go along for the ride without the public knowing if they are making any

Protesters must respect Dear Editor, “Peoplekind” are finally waking up to the disaster that is Trudeau. Scandal after scandal, every time Trudeau gets caught, he explains the situation by encompassing everyone. Whether it is the groping incident, the SNC Lavalin affair or the WE scandal, according to Trudeau it is “A chance for reflection for all of us”, “a learning opportunity for all Canadians”. Well Mr. Trudeau I am sick and tired of being blamed for your incompetence and immaturity. You and your ministers have made us the laughing stock of the

world. You want to kill the oil industry which in 2020, provided $ 105 billion to GDP and supported more than 500,000 jobs across the country. Do you really think, as Catherine McKenna used to say, that going green will bring high paying jobs? If so then you and your cabinet should apply now. You want to censor what we read, write or say on the internet with your bills C-10 and C-36. Believe me we do not need to be told what we can do on the internet especially not from your virtue signaling government. Very strict laws already exist to protect people. You

contribution.

Ms. Bethune is concerned that wards would lead to divisiveness. She obviously holds councillors to a very low standard. Any person on council would realize that the part cannot prosper if the whole is not healthy. Issues are resolved by a democratic vote by council. Devisiveness in the past may have been the result of voters not knowing the candidates and electing irresponsible people.

The ward system is the best way to get citizens involved in municipal affairs and would go a long way to improve the anemic voter turn out for municipal elections. More citizen involvement would inevitably lead the city we call home to be a better place.

Rod Millard, Cornwall, Ontario

personally have divided the country for your own selfish gain. Last week you had to cancel your campaign stop. Although I do not agree with their rude gestures, it is true that protesters must respect democracy. But it is also true that you as prime minister must also respect democracy.

You have brought this upon yourself. Just as your friend Gerald Butts said about the church burnings, it is understandable that people have had enough!

What does the data say?

Editor’s Note: The following submission talks about the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). VAERS does not verify whether claims submitted to their website are true prior to entering them into their database. Submissions can be made by any individual who has received a vaccine. VAERS’ database is susceptible to manipulation by those who would cast vaccines in a negative light.

It’s best to look at the data when addressing important issues. I have complete confidence in the public to guide themselves. People are smart and resourceful. I encourage people do their own research and gather informed consent regarding their choices. Recently an opinion piece appeared in the Seaway News. This letter offered very little data. Today I’ll offer data, from various government sources, to provide people information that will aid in their informed consent.

The US government runs a website called VAERS. VAERS stands for Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. VAERS is co-managed by the CDC (The Center for Disease Control and Prevention) and The FDA (The Food and Drug Administration). Canada doesn’t offer a similar reporting system but does operate a separate reporting pathway for vaccine induced deaths and vaccine induced injuries called AEFI, standing for Adverse Event Following Immunization. This may be the first people have heard about it. Its existence isn’t widely circulated.

Vaccine induced deaths and vaccine induced injuries in the US are reported voluntarily by the public and health professionals to VAERS. All vaccination comes with risk and this is why informed consent is required to be given. Informed consent is part of the 1947 Nuremberg Code, in regards

to medical applications where death or injury are possible outcomes. (reviewed in the British Medical Journal No 7070 Volume 313: Page 1448, 7 December 1996) Just months before any of the COVID vaccines were authorized for public use in late 2020, each respective government granted all vaccine producers complete blanket legal indemnity for any deaths or injuries these injections may cause. If vaccines are safe and effective, why do these reporting sites exist and why do vaccine makers need complete blanket immunity from litigation regarding damages?

The VAERS reporting website was started in 1990 in the United States. Although this website can’t confirm nor deny that any reported death or injury was directly related to a vaccine, the statistics gathered can indeed act as a litmus test regarding any radical decrease or increase of reported deaths or injuries following vaccination, as to allow government officials to take appropriate action. The total number of vaccine induced deaths reported on VAERS from Jan 1st 1998 through to Dec 1st 2020 (just before the COVID shot was authorized) was 4758. That was a 23-year span and these death figures include all vaccinations in that 23 year window. Currently there are 84 vaccines licensed for use in the US. For the 23 years before the COVID vaccine was launched, there was a total of 4758 deaths.

From Dec 14 2020 to Aug 6th 2021 (only 8 months after the COVID vaccine was launched), the CDC reported that the VAERS website had taken in claims that 12,791 Americans had died shortly after being administered the COVID shot.

571,831 adverse events were also reported associated with the COVID injection, 77,490 of

the adverse events were listed as serious.

This data and more like it appears absent at times. Informed consent is about data and free access to that data. Within data, informed consent isn’t possible.

CERB facts

Dear Editor, This is in response to Mayor Glen Grant’s column that appeared in the Sept.

1 issue of Seaway News.

If you did a simple Google search, you would find many articles written by an expert in socio-economics (or an interview with one) who explain the following: 1) For companies making huge gains during the pandemic, like Walmart, whose employees were expected to work on the frontlines: “In Walmart’s last quarter, ending in October, the company did not pay any COVID-19 bonuses at all, despite earning $1.8 billion in extra profits—a 56% increase compared to the previous year—and repurchasing $500 million of its shares.” - Brookings Institution, Dec 2020 2) Women have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic: “As people attempt to return to work, child care costs burden women more than men. Many women are forced to stay home, not because they don’t want to return to work, but because their jobs do not offer flexible options, don’t pay enough to cover child care costs, or they don’t have access to child care providers.” - CNBC, July 2021 “American women are struggling to re-enter the workforce after many gave up their jobs in response to the disproportionate demands placed on them during the pandemic.” - NY Times, August 2021 3) Pay and other work benefits can play a huge part in bringing people back to work: “Many experts have proposed solutions: They say increasing wages (which many companies have), ensuring workplaces are safe and building more flexible scheduling options will re-engage workers.” - NY Times, August 2021 4) Companies should be re-thinking their engagement strategies: “It’s what Insider’s Aki Ito calls The Great Reshuffle: An unprecedented labor market, coupled with a rethinking of what workers want out of both work and life, has led many to exit their positions or to seek out new ones.

The market out there for workers is competitive, and many are finding higher salaries or better positions as they depart their old roles.” - Business Insider, July 2021 There are some interesting stories of small businesses increasing wages (in the US where minimum wage is much lower than Canada), like this ice cream parlour in Pittsburgh who increased their wage and received an onslaught of applications: https://twitter.com/danpriceseattle/status/ 1395475918114725893?lang=en It’s not about people wanting to take CERB instead of working, but about companies stepping up to meet the moment where inequalities during the pandemic have been exposed. I believe we can and will do better for all workers in our community.

Re-imaging our mowing obsession

BY JOHN TOWNDROW

Many people are thinking carefully about their impact on climate change – how they are eating, driving, heating, consuming etc.

The one area that does not seem to be under any scrutiny is mowing. I’m not just talking about back and front yard lawn mowing but mowing roadsides, along recreation paths, along shorelines, large estate properties and acres of unused public green spaces.

So the question is, why do we love to mow lawns?

Since the Second World War and the rise of suburbia, the well-maintained lawn became synonymous with a caring, hardworking household – a kind of status symbol.

Naturally, as humans tend to conclude – if something is good – more of it is better, so now mowing large areas seems to be synonymous with being a responsible property owner – both private and public.

In this region, I have noticed that more and more areas of public lands being mown

– along the highways, along the St Lawrence River and recently along public bikeways.

Most of the areas now look brown, bare and ugly compared to the beautiful wild flowers and grasses that grow naturally. I’m told that it is to control wild parsnip and I can certainly understand the public safety impact within one or two metres of the bike path as well as in well-used neighborhood parks and sports fields, but beyond that one could argue that mowing acres of area that no one sets foot on is not a positive trend. I have also heard the argument that mowing is equated with care for the land but the opposite is true.

Eliminating wild meadow areas reduces the food for pollinators and, of course, the use of fuel for mowers contributes to climate change. The riding mower and huge mowing equipment has made it all too easy to endlessly expand areas that are mown.

On the home front, we use more synthetic fertilizers and pesticides on our lawns than the same area of cropland and lawns also

require a lot of water. Not only does this impact local wildlife, these chemicals can end up in our own drinking water. A pond near to me ends up being full of algae each year partly because people mow right down to the water edge and rain and irrigation washes the fertilizers into the pond. In addition, with the shoreline vegetation gone, the normally shady water edge heats up, making it hard for fish to spawn. The manufacture and use of these chemicals require large amounts of fossil fuels so, along with the gas that is used to power the mowers, there is a huge impact on climate change.

There is a need to re-imagine this mowing trend and its impact on the environment.

Every home owner, municipality, agency and business needs to assess exactly how much mowing is absolutely necessary. As a public, we also need to ask how much mowing contributes to our carbon footprint that we are trying to reduce by 10% per year. We also need to equip people with the reasons why

they need to mow less area so they can respond to the public and neighbors who raise a huge fuss when areas are left wild.

Only then will we be more conscious about where and how much we mow. Our future depends on this.

The David Suzuki Foundation has some great suggestions about How To Get Your Yard Off Grass – helping to reduce water consumption and increase pollinators.

WDMH introduces mandatory vaccination policy NICK SEEBRUCH nseebruch@seawaynews.media

WINCHESTER, Ontario – The Winchester District Memorial Hospital (WDMH) has announced that it will be introducing a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy for staff and volunteers. The hospital made the announcement in a statement to the media on Wednesday, Sept. 1.

The WDMH is the second hospital in the

region to introduce a mandatory vaccination policy after the Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) introduced their own policy late last week.

“As a hospital, we have a duty and commitment to protect the health and safety of our staff, patients, and visitors,” said CEO Cholly Boland. “Getting vaccinated remains the most effective way to do this.”

The WDMH already is close to universal vaccination amongst its staff and volunteers,

with 97 per cent of general staff being fully vaccinated, and 100 per cent of medical staff and 100 per cent of their volunteers being fully vaccinated already.

Unvaccinated staff members will have until Sept. 7 to receive their first dose of a COVID19 vaccine and have until Oct. 15 to receive their second dose. On Sept. 7 anyone who has not received at least their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine or has not presented proof of vaccination will be placed on unpaid leave.

The WDMH states that it is in the process of finalizing its vaccination policy, which will take into account those who are medically exempt from vaccination.

“We want to thank the WDMH team for its continued dedication,” said Boland.

“Everyone has worked tirelessly to protect our communities throughout the pandemic.

We also want to thank our local communities for their ongoing support.”

An Anchor for Your Soul What can we hold onto, truth wise, that can make a difference in the hard times as well as other times? Or, what holds me, even what holds me up when the water gets a little choppy? Here’s two verses from the Bible, in Hebrews 6:19-20. “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.

It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, 20 where Jesus, who went before us has entered on our behalf.” It’s a great picture, “an anchor for the soul.” Seems pretty vivid and powerful! Does my soul need and anchor? Oh yes! Every now and then, someone is rescued from a perilous situation.

You’ll see it on TV; maybe a fire, a raging flood, or an accident scene. And boy, do they hang onto that rescuer! Tight! They don’t need to be told!

Why would I need an anchor? Well, it’s for your soul - to be tethered to. People today are looking for certainty! To feel secure and safe, and to be at peace and rest. The alternative will be apparent in the nautical imagery. Ever use an anchor. It’s essential equipment and can save your life! Life can really knock and bounce you around!

place to shelter, to find refuge. Everyone does eventually. Right from the beginnings of Christianity the anchor was a powerful image. Over 66 separate pictures of anchors have been found in the catacombs decorating the burial places of early 1st and 2nd century Christians interred beneath Rome.

Our souls are precious and valuable, and they’re also eternal. God designed us to find refuge in Him, and nowhere else. The significance of the picture of the anchor is this: the verse doesn’t say that we have some anchor that is attached to Jesus, it’s better that that. Jesus himself is the anchor that secures us into eternity. He is the anchor that, although out of sight, secures us to heaven above. He is in Glory now, that place he said he was going to prepare for those who love and trust him.

It’s that simple. Jesus has gone before, he’s the one we are secure in. Not because we’re connected to a church, or some organization. Your security can be in Christ, as you put your faith and trust in him.

This is always based on his work and power! That’s some certainty!

Blessings! Pastor Jim Drennan

THE PINK RENOVATION EVENT ®

Anti-vaccine mandate protest outside of CCH NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – A protest of well over 100 people formed in front of the Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) on Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 1 to demonstrate against the hospital’s mandate requiring staff members to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Protesters carried signs with slogans such as “My Body, My Choice, Communism” and “Coercion is not Consent.”

The CCH had announced on Friday, Aug. 27 that it would introduce a mandatory vaccination policy for all employees and volunteers.

Employees have until Sept. 7 to receive their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, and Oct. 15 to receive their second dose. On Wednesday, the CCH reported that 87 per cent of its staff were fully vaccinated, with 92 per cent having received at least one dose.

Among the CCH’s medical staff, 99 per cent

are fully vaccinated.

“Having every member of our organization be vaccinated against COVID-19 is consistent with the approach taken by other hospitals in our region and is a critical step to ensuring the safety of our staff, physicians and patients,” said CCH CEO and President Jeanette Despatie.

Seaway News spoke with multiple protesters at the event on Wednesday afternoon, but none confirmed that they actually worked at the CCH. One protester, who spoke with Seaway News on the condition of anonymity, stated that when his mother, who was a CCH employee, was told about the mandate to get vaccinated that she had left her employment with the CCH. “Last year’s heroes are this year’s nothing,” said another protester.

Despatie said that no disciplinary action

Anti-vaccine mandate protesters outside of the CCH on Wednesday, September 1, 2021 (Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News). has been taken against any employee who has refused to get vaccinated, yet.

“No staff member has been disciplined for refusing vaccination against COVID-19. The new policy provides unvaccinated staff until September 7 to receive their first dose and until October 15 to prove that they are fully vaccinated, or provide a documented medical reason as to why they cannot be vaccinated. By taking this phased approach, CCH is

ensuring that staff who have not yet been vaccinated have ample opportunity and enough time to receive both doses,” she said in a statement to Seaway News. “After October 15, refusal of the COVID-19 vaccination will no longer be an option. For those who do not comply with the requirements, all options will be considered to effectively enforce our policy.”

Dean Richard Wiggers.

Vollebregt said that there has been a particularly high interest in a new accelerated Personal Support Worker (PSW) program that the College began offering this past spring.

The course, which is available at all three of the College’s campuses, had 200 students enroll in the first year.

Newly introduced by the College last week

was a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for students and staff members.

As of Sept. 7, students and staff will have to either present proof of vaccination or proof of a recent negative COVID-19 test.

Students and staff are expected to have received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and have until Oct. 15 to receive their second dose.

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Port Threatre held a special night for Yvon Godard and Melissa St. Denis Godard. Melissa, who was battling terminal cancer at the time, wanted to attend a live concert as a part of her bucket list, and Port Theatre owner Larry Sylvain decided that he would help put together a concert just for her.

Larry set aside a private area for Yvon and Melissa in the upstairs area and they got to experience Led Zeppelin cover band Mothership in all of their glory, with Yvon saying they even had a chance to dance to the Led Zeppelin classic Stairway to Heaven.

“The band said even if it was just the two of us, they would play. They were great,” said Yvon.

In addition to helping complete a dream

and create a tender moment for this couple, Larry and his team of volunteers that night also collected donations for Carefor Hospice Cornwall.

Sadly, Melissa passed away on March 22, 2021 at the age of 56, but Larry and Yvon were able to make a contribution in her name to the community.

In Melissa’s memory, Yvon and Larry, with help from Yvon’s granddaughter Delilah were able to present a cheque for $2,822 in memory of Melissa to Carefor Hospice Cornwall on Thursday, Sept. 2, 2021.

Pictured from left-to-right are Port Theatre owner Larry Sylvain, Delilah, and her grandfather Yvon Godard holding a portrait of Melissa St. Denis Godard.

INITIATIVE DE JOURNALISME LOCAL :ONTARIO - Les trois régions sanitaires les plus à l’est de l’Ontario, soit Leeds-GrenvilleLanark, Ottawa et l’Est ontarien, sont parmi les plus vaccinées de toute la province et entraînent à la hausse la moyenne provinciale du taux de vaccination.

Ensemble, ces trois régions sanitaires contribuent fortement à augmenter la moyenne provinciale de pleine immunisation à près de 77 %.

La région de Leeds-Grenville-Lanark remporte la palme de celle où le taux de vaccination est le plus élevé de la province, avec un peu plus de 86 % de sa population admissible, soit les 12 ans et plus, qui est pleinement immunisée.

Dans cette région, on compte aussi plus de 92 % de la population admissible ayant reçu une première dose du vaccin contre la COVID-19.

Ce bureau de santé mène la charge provinciale quant au taux de vaccination depuis plusieurs semaines, et cela fait déjà un mois que la région a atteint les 80 %.

Comment expliquer ce succès ? « Il s’agit d’un effort communautaire à tous les sites de vaccination, soit les quatre sites principaux ainsi qu’un certain notre de cliniques mobiles locales et de cliniques éphémères lors d’événements locaux et de cliniques sur les lieux de travail », indique la médecin hygiéniste en chef de la région, la Dre Paula Stewart.

Cette dernière souligne que plusieurs municipalités ont ouvert leurs portes et ont

permis à la santé publique d’entrer dans leurs arénas et leurs centres communautaires. « Dans les communautés rurales, tout le monde s’est engagé à s’entraider pour obtenir le vaccin. » Les ambulanciers paramédicaux se sont aussi engagés à se rendre au domicile de ceux qui sont aux prises avec des problèmes de santé et qui ne peuvent pas se rendre dans un centre de vaccination.

Un peu plus à l’est, dans la capitale fédérale, plus de 80 % des 12 ans et plus ont reçu deux doses, ce qui représente un des plus hauts taux de vaccination en Ontario.

Comme son homologue, la Dre Vera Etches indique que la clé est de ne pas attendre que les gens se déplacent vers les vaccins, mais bien de porter les vaccins au sein même des communautés. « On reconnaît qu’il y a des gens dans la communauté qui sont plus démunis, de nouveaux arrivants qui n’ont pas accès au transport, à la garderie, qui ne peuvent pas prendre congé pour aller se faire vacciner. On amène donc les vaccins dans les communautés, on offre des services dans les langues autres que le français et l’anglais, et on s’assure que personne n’est mal informé en raison des barrières linguistiques. On fait du progrès dans les communautés plus difficiles parce qu’on comprend que des gens ont des barrières les empêchant de se faire vacciner. Certains ont besoin d’un peu plus de temps pour prendre une décision, et c’est là-dessus qu’on se concentre. » Dans la région sanitaire de l’Est ontarien, soit le territoire le plus à l’est de la province, on compte 77 % de la population admissible

Cliniques de vaccination contre la COVID-19 dans les écoles

qui est pleinement vaccinée.

La quantité d’infections au coronavirus y est demeurée relativement faible au cours de la pandémie et à travers les quatre différentes vagues de la COVID-19.

Il est aussi à noter que Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox et Addington, la circonscription sanitaire tout juste à l’ouest de Leeds-Grenville-Lanark, fait également bonne figure pour son niveau de vaccination, qui est le même que dans l’Est ontarien.

Le bureau de santé publique de Porcupine, une grande région rurale qui occupe une énorme portion du nord-est de la province, et où l’on retrouve la municipalité de Timmins, peine à dépasser le taux de pleine immunité de 72 %.

Cette région avait pourtant été aux prises avec une importante éclosion, au printemps dernier.

Cette éclosion avait même placé la région dans la catégorie des « points chauds » de la COVID-19, permettant à la population de devancer leur deuxième rendez-vous de vaccination.

La circonscription sanitaire située à l’ouest de Porcupine, soit Thunder Bay, de même que celle de Halton, plus au sud, sont les deux autres régions avec le taux de vaccination le plus élevé chez les 12 ans et plus, avec 81 % chacune.

Par ailleurs, cette semaine, le bureau de santé publique de Haldimand-Norfolk est devenu le dernier de l’Ontario à atteindre le niveau notable de 70 % de sa population admissible pleinement vaccinée.

Cet article a été initialement écrit pour et publié dans Le Droit.

CORNWALL, Ontario - Sous la direction du ministère de la Santé, le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario (BSEO) organisera des cliniques de vaccination contre la COVID-19 dans les écoles afin de protéger les élèves et les personnes qui les entourent. Les cliniques offrant les première et deuxième doses seront tenues dès que possible et accepteront les élèves nés en 2009 ou avant et leur famille, ainsi que les enseignants et le personnel scolaire.

Les personnes admissibles doivent avoir 12 ans ou plus en 2021 et peuvent recevoir la deuxième dose 21 jours après avoir reçu une première dose du vaccin de Pfizer ou 28 jours plus tard pour la première dose du vaccin de Moderna. Les candidats âgés de 17 ans ou moins ne recevront que le vaccin de Pfizer-BioNTech pour les deux doses.

Le BSEO travaille en partenariat avec les conseils scolaires et les écoles pour transmettre les renseignements nécessaires aux parents et tuteurs.

Cliniques d’immunisation contre l’hépatite B, le VPH et la maladie à méningocoques dans les écoles Lors d’une année scolaire typique, les cliniques sont organisées dans les écoles pour vacciner les élèves de la 7e année contre l’hépatite B, le VPH et la maladie à méningocoques. À cause de la pandémie, l’immunisation des cohortes suivantes a été suspendue : La cohorte des 7e année en 20212022 (nés en 2009) La cohorte des 7e année en 20202021 (nés en 2008) La cohorte des 7e année en 20192020 (nés en 2007) L’objectif est d’immuniser chacune de ces trois cohortes au cours de l’année scolaire 2021-2022, lorsque les cliniques de vaccination contre la COVID-19 dans les écoles seront terminées.

Tenth season for Pumpkinferno

BY PHILLIP BLANCHER, LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER MORRISBURG, Ontario – The St. Lawrence Parks Commission’s popular Pumpkinferno event will return for its tenth season in late-September.

Beginning late-September Upper Canada Village will be your one-stop shop for all things fall as it celebrates the 10th annual Pumpkinferno.

More than 7,000 individually-carved pumpkins make up the displays on the one kilometre walk through the village, located just east of Morrisburg in South Dundas.

The St. Lawrence Parks Commission announced late last week that opening day

for the popular event is September 24 and it will be open until October 31.

Between September 24 and October 17, the village will be open nightly from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. It will open at 6:30 p.m. starting October 18.

This season, the SLPC is offering three accessibility nights – October 5, 12, and 19.

In 2020, the village modified the Pumpkinferno programming to be as “touchless” as possible due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Face masks are required for all indoor buildings, and hand sanitizing stations are set up throughout. Visitors must self-screen for COVID-19 symptoms before attending.

Also similar to operations in 2020, tickets are for specific time slots to attend. Tickets

are only available online and go on sale September 7 at the UCV website.

Tickets are $20 per person, children four and younger are free.

The SLPC is also starting a new

ARIES: You might decide to change your car on a whim. Just remember to be patient and negotiate a good price; the seller will eventually make you an ever better offer. At work, your team will offer to support you if you’re overwhelmed.

TAURUS: As you calculate your budget, you’ll rea­ lize you can afford to indulge in a few more luxuries, perhaps in the form of a vacation or two.

Professionally, changes will prove quite profitable if you can overcome your fear of change.

GEMINI: You need to make changes in your rela­ tionships, both at home and at work. Wait a few days for your emotions to calm down before you take action. Some decisions need time; acting on a whim isn’t always the best approach.

CANCER: You may be influenced by those closest to you to spoil yourself. You’ll decide to give yourself a makeover and follow the advice of a specialist. By reducing your anxiety, you’ll automatically find yourself in better health.

LEO: You’ll find yourself in the spotlight for one reason or another. You’ll be in charge of a group that might well pay tribute to you, or at least offer you warm congratulations. A promotion isn’t too far off.

VIRGO: You’ll consider buying property if your fa­ mily undergoes one or more changes. ­You may hear of a birth among your relatives, which will delight you. Try to be more de­licate with certain sensitive people.

LIBRA: You’ll have a lot of conversations. Even at work, you’ll find yourself in the middle of a great discussion. This will allow you to expand your social circle and network of professional connections.

New friendships will lead to great adventures.

SCORPIO: You’ll finally get out of a complicated financial situation. You’ll master the art of persua­ sive speech and convince some people to follow you. In love, communication is essential if you want your emotional con­nection to thrive.

SAGITTARIUS: You’ll need to make a decision without ha­ving access to all the necessary informa­ tion. Try to rely on your good judgement. And above all, avoid long-term payments whenever possible so as not to add to your financial strain.

CAPRICORN: You could receive a great offer in your professional life. Take the time to discuss it with your loved ones before you accept, even if it’s your dream job. Affection will magically appear as soon as your world is ready for it.

AQUARIUS: You’ll have your eyes glued to your social networks. It’s a good idea to include your significant other more in your various activities to rekindle the passion between you. At work, your whole team will rely on your experience.

PISCES: The phone is ringing off the hook; some­ times clients will be in dire need of your service, other times your loved ones will be looking for you.

Your efficiency is what makes you so highly sought after. If you’re single, you’ll find love when you stop looking for it.

Paint Cornwall Gold for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, to mark the occasion, residents are being asked to paint Cornwall gold by displaying gold colours and art on their porches and in their windows.

The City of Cornwall held a flag raising on Wednesday, Sept. 1 in honour of the event and to help raise awareness.

The flag was raised by childhood cancer survivor Alex Tourangeau with the help of Mayor Glen Grant and city staff.

Alex’s mother, Cheryl spoke of her son’s experiences with his cancer treatment for Leukemia. “We told Alex that we would do this together and we did,” she said.

She explained how the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) gives children courage beads to mark every chemo treatment, lumbar test, and other procedure.

In all, Alex received 1,152 chemo

815

Death notices

815

treatments, 27 lumbar punctures, and 19 blood transfusions.

Cheryl explained that it was important to raise awareness about childhood cancer because it is more prevalent than people think.

“There are so many kids who don’t get to ring that bell to mark the end of their treatment at CHEO,” she said. “What do you tell a parent who’s child is 10-days-old, or two-daysold, or 10-years-old that their child has been diagnosed with cancer.”

Cheryl said that by painting Cornwall gold, that those families who are currently struggling with childhood cancer will know that their community stands behind them.

As for Alex, it has been five years since his last chemo treatment, and at a check-up in July he was found to be in great health. Alex graduated from high school this past June and will be attending Bishop’s University in Lennoxville, QC in the fall.

Just another unpleasant effect of the pandemic. Sad to see these pandemic puppies being abandoned.

Reader says: This caller believes, the new Mayor is missing the biggest link to the shortage of workers and believes that cutting the welfare checks might give some the incentive to get a job. The problem is that if they quit welfare, they lose all the benefits, making less than friends that are still on it. It is ridiculous that this has been aloud to continue for so many years. Councillors should be ashamed when they see that employers can’t get any one from Cornwall to work. Why do we have to bring in workers from Mexico, Thailand & Quebec? Don’t blame this on COVID this was going on for way too long.

Reader says: Why do all these protesters of the covid vaccine, think that they are better than the rest of us? If they can’t have the vaccine because of health reasons that’s fine, there are other options. If they don’t care about their families, we care about ours. Do they really think it is fair to put the rest of us at risk? This is another case of the minority being allowed to punish or kill the rest of us.

How sad, that there are so many selfish people in this world and in Cornwall.

The Port Theatre helped make a wish come true and raised money for a good cause at the same time. Melissa St. Denis Godard was diagnosed with terminal cancer, but wanted to see a concert. Larry Sylvain, his team, as well as volunteers, came together to organize a private concert just for her and her husband Yvon Godard. The act was Mothership, a Led Zeppelin tribute band, and Yvon told Seaway News that he and Melissa got to dance to Stairway to Heaven. Sadly, Melissa has since passed away, but last week, Larry and Yvon with help from granddaughter Delilah presented a cheque for $2,822 for Carefor Hospice Cornwall.

ONTARIO – On Wednesday, Sept. 1 Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced that the province would require residents to present proof that they have received the COVID-19 vaccine in certain settings.

“As the world continues its fight against the Delta variant, our government will never waver in our commitment to do what’s necessary to keep people safe, protect our hospitals and minimize disruptions to businesses,” said Premier Ford. “Based on the latest evidence and best advice, COVID-19 vaccine certificates give us the best chance to slow the spread of this virus

while helping us to avoid further lockdowns. If you haven’t received your first or second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, please do so today.”

Beginning on Sept. 22, Ontarians will need to prove that they have received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine and have received their second vaccine dose at least two days prior to attending the following establishments or participating in the following activities: -Restaurants and bars (excluding outdoor patios, as well as delivery and takeout); -Nightclubs (including outdoor areas of the establishment);

-Meeting and event spaces, such as banquet halls and conference/convention centres; -Facilities used for sports and fitness activities and personal fitness training, such as gyms, fitness and recreational facilities with the exception of youth recreational sport; -Sporting events; -Casinos, bingo halls and gaming establishments; -Concerts, music festivals, theatres and cinemas; -Strip clubs, bathhouses and sex clubs; -Racing venues (e.g., horse racing).

At first, actual proof of vaccination that will be required to be presented will be an individual’s vaccine receipt that can be downloaded on the provincial vaccination website or by calling 1-833-943-3900.

Individuals who received a dose of the COVID-19 vaccine outside of Ontario are being asked to consult their local health unit to obtain their proof of vaccination.

By Oct. 22, the province hopes to have completed an enhanced vaccine certificate, as well as a digital app that will allow businesses to scan a QR Code on a person’s phone to verify vaccination.
