FRONT PAGE STORY

International Day of the Girl takes place in Lamoureux Park CAROL GODDARD SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS

The International Day of the Girl was held on Monday October 11 in Cornwall’s Lamoureux Park and was organized by Maggie May Larocque under the auspices of Maison Interlude House (MIH) in Hawksbury. The event provided young women, between the ages of 12 and 18 to view displays, receive educational information and participate in a craft wor kshop or self defence demonstration.

Linda Bissonette, Supervisor at MIH, explained the event provides a “day where we celebrate our girls and give them an opportunity to be heard”, for they are our future.

She mentioned there were several organizations attending the event including Cornwall Police Services, Mison Interlude House, Sunrise Rotary Club and Cornwall Rotary Club as well as representatives of the local Girl Guides of Canada and Seaway Valley Community Health Centre.

Linda Rodgers and Jessica McLeod from the Seaway Valley Community Health Centre (SVCHC) mentioned their display included a mirror for the girls to look into and then write a positive message about themselves on a sticky note which would be then placed on the mirror. They also have activity sheets and literature available to assist in the establishment of a positive self-image.

The Sunrise Rotary Club and the Cornwall

Rotary Club had a display on the “Go with the Flow” program which free menstrual supplies to young women in developing countries or here at home. Sharon Miller explained how during a visit to India she noticed there were a significant number of young women who weren’t in school. She discovered this was because of them experiencing problems managing their menstruation and eventually stopped going.

Miller continued after explaining the problems encountered by school aged girls in India to her friends after her return to Canada, they formed the group was formed. She explained the group has made over 300 kits each year since its formation, which have been sent to either a Rotary Club or trusted partner in the country. These kits contain containing washcloths, travel size soap, underwear, large plastic freezers bags, tri-fold pads, moisture barrier shields and a large drawstring bag. The tri-fold pads, drawstring bag and moisture barrier shields are made from donated material and sewing supplies by group members. Miller suggests emailing her at smiller15943@gmail.com for more information.

The well-attended event was two hours in duration, lasting between 10 a.m. and noon providing an opportunity to spend some time out of doors while learning about the opportunities which the women of tomorrow will enjoy.

IT’S A FACT! EMMA MELDRUM CITY OF CORNWALL

There’s a trend on Tiktok that was really popular last week: users posted a compilation of all the things they did in September.

I posted one for the City of Cornwall’s account, and it felt very fitting: September was a whirlwind, and October won’t be any different. Let’s dive in: Municipal grant applications are being accepted right now. These applications open only once a year, so if you’re looking for financial or in-kind support from the city in 2022, apply now: www.Cornwall.ca/grants The climate change survey is open and we want to hear from you at www.haveyoursaycornwall.ca The Subsidized Spay Neuter Program is getting ready to launch. You can apply to have your cat fixed – for free – very soon.

Students get great discounts on 10-ride and monthly passes. Don’t miss out! www.Cornwall.ca/student

Fire Prevention Week is over, but I still have a request for you: go test your smoke alarm. Put the paper down for a minute and make sure it’s working!

Moreover, regular exercise reduces joint stiffness. While working out, however, be mindful of your pain and heed any signals telling you to stop.

5. Try supplements - Taking glucosamine and chondroitin supplements may help those with moderate to severe arthritic pain lessen their discomfort. While the effectiveness of using them hasn’t been substantiated, if they seem to work for you, they pose no long-term health risks. Talk to your doctor about which brand to use.

While there’s no way to entirely eliminate arthritic pain, these strategies can help reduce it both in the short term and the long term.

With a little patience, you’ll discover what works best for you.

5 tips to help alleviate arthritic pain

According to the Arthritis Society, as many as one in five Canadians live with arthritis. For many seniors, the condition makes everyday activities difficult. Here are five tips to help manage the pain.

1. Use medication - Acetaminophen and anti-inflammatory medications can help relieve certain types of arthritic pain. Talk to your doctor about which over-the-counter drugs might help you and make sure to closely follow your physician’s recommendations. Be sure to also let your doctor know about any other health issues you have. If you’re planning on doing something that might cause pain, take a dose 30 minutes before starting.

2. Maintain a healthy weight - The more weight your hips, ankles, knees and feet support, the more likely they are to hurt. Maintaining a lower weight can help relieve pressure on your joints.

3. Mind your diet - A healthy diet can help mitigate arthritic pain. Probiotics and omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to alleviate inflammation, while red meat, sugar and foods high in fat can make it worse.

4. Exercise - Physical activity releases endorphins, which can help alleviate pain.

Health unit and hospital see worrying COVID-19 trends in Cornwall NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario -The Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) and the Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) issued a joint statement on Thursday, Oct. 7 outlining what they are calling worrying COVID-19 trends in the city.

As of Friday, Oct. 8 out of the 160 active COVID-19 cases in the EOHU, more than half, 83, were in Cornwall.

Additionally, the CCH had 18 COVID-19 patients in its care on Thursday, compared to just two around the same time in September. Currently, there are five patients in the CCH’s Critical Care Unit (CCU).

The CCH has recently re-introduced visitor restrictions. Unfortunately, there are currently eight CCH staff members who are stuck at home with COVID-19.

“The rate at which COVID-19 spreads in

a community has a direct impact on its local hospital. It is very important for our patients that we maintain non-COVID related health care services such as elective surgeries, therefore we are pleading with the community: please take COVID-19 seriously, get vaccinated and stay vigilant,” said Jeanette Despatie, President and CEO of CCH. Cornwall is lagging behind not just the province, but behind the rest of the EOHU in its vaccination rate. Currently less than 70 per cent of eligible individuals in Cornwall have received the full course of the COVID19 vaccine, that is compared to 84 per cent in the rest of the EOHU. “It is not a coincidence that we are seeing such a large spike in cases and hospitalizations in Cornwall. The vast majority of these are occurring in unvaccinated individuals,” said Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health at the EOHU. “In addition, high rates

of community COVID-19 transmission translate into higher rates of cases and outbreaks in congregate and school settings, which we’re now seeing.”

The EOHU and hospital are concerned about the consequences if these trends continue and the EOHU is pleading with the public to get vaccinated and follow public health guidelines.

“The solution is to increase the vaccination rate in the Cornwall area and to continue following public health guidelines, especially during this upcoming Thanksgiving Day weekend,” said Dr. Roumeliotis.

The EOHU is recommending the following guidelines for those gathering over the Thanksgiving long weekend.

-Gatherings must respect the current limits (no more than 25 people indoors or 100 people outdoors) -If gathering with individuals who are unvaccinated, partially vaccinated, or whose

vaccination status is unknown, you must wear a face covering and maintain physical distancing -Try to keep gatherings small, and to hold them outdoors -If you have COVID-19 symptoms (even mild ones), stay home -Virtual gatherings remain the safest option, especially if there are unvaccinated people or persons whose vaccination status is unknown “While I understand that we all want to see our families after staying apart for so long, I am urging the public to take precautions to reduce the risk of transmitting COVID-19 to their loved ones,” said Dr. Roumeliotis. “Given that children under 12 can’t get vaccinated against COVID-19 at the moment, the rest of us must take measures to keep them safe and prevent outbreaks in schools in the weeks following the long weekend.”

New event at SummerstownTrails: SIX HOURS OF SUMMERSTOWN PROVIDED BY THE FRIENDS OF THE SUMMERSTOWN TRAILS

SUMMERSTOWN, Ontario – The Friends of the Summerstown Trails will be hosting a mountain bike challenge race, a new event this year at the Summerstown Trails. The race will take place on October 16, starting at 9:00 a.m. and is a challenge to see how many kilometres a team of three riders can complete in six hours at the Summerstown Trails.

A designated loop, starting and finishing at the old parking lot, will be cordoned off for the race and this will be run as a relay race, with one rider of each team on the trail at the same time. The loop will be approximately 5 km long, and each rider on a team must ride a minimum of one lap.

For this first edition, only 10 teams of three have been accepted. “We want to see how this goes for the first year and are looking to make it bigger next year”, said race director Joe McNamara. He went on to add: “It’ll be a great event and anyone can participate as teams can register as men, women, mixed and youth teams.”

Vertigo is a condition where a person experiences sudden and brief episodes of dizziness, spinning, loss of balance, nausea and/or difficulty walking. These symptoms occur secondary to certain head movements (i.e. looking up, turning side to side) and changes in position (i.e. getting out of bed, rolling over in bed, bending forward, lying in a dental chair). Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most common type of vertigo. “Benign” means it is not life threatening, “Paroxysmal” is dizziness occurring in sudden brief spells, “Positional” refers to symptoms being brought on by certain head movements and positions, and “Vertigo” which is defined by a sensation of spinning.

BPPV is often idiopathic, which means there is no specific reason or cause for the symptoms experienced. People will report that they “just woke up with dizziness one day” or “it came out of nowhere”. BPPV may also occur secondary to head trauma or concussion. There are a number of factors that put an individual at an increased risk of developing BPPV. These factors include: being 40 years of age or older, being female, history of osteopenia or osteoporosis, family history of BPPV, low vitamin D levels and history of migraines.

MOVEMENT MATTERS

Symptoms of BPPV can be extremely disruptive to work, personal, and family life.

Luckily, BPPV can be resolved safely and quickly with physiotherapy treatments.

Physiotherapists (with vestibular rehabilitation training) will perform a battery of tests to determine what type of treatment will be most effective to address BPPV symptoms.

Most often, symptoms can be fully resolved within 4-6 sessions over a span of 2-3 weeks (or less!). Physiotherapists may choose to educate patients, on a case by case basis, on how to safely perform BPPV treatments at home.

Understanding how to fix vertigo on one’s own can be extremely helpful and can save a trip to the hospital, doctor’s office or physiotherapy clinic. Self-diagnosis and treatment techniques are simple and easy to learn with proper education and guidance by a trained physiotherapist.

The biggest question that gets asked after successfully resolving BPPV is “will my vertigo come back?”. Recurrence rates range from 29-50%. It is possible that BPPV can return, but at this time it is not known how quickly symptoms will return or how often this will occur. Currently, there are no strategies, exercises or lifestyle modifications that can reduce the risk or prevent recurrence of vertigo. If BPPV is persistent, a trained physio- Pictured from left-to-right are St. Andrews Catholic School students Gregor Fillion, therapist may trial a new course of treatment or Ashlynn Boer and Aidan Boer.

New owners will grow the Cornwall Square NICK SEEBRUCH

8 - Wednesday, October 13, 2021

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

As of the beginning of this month, the Cornwall Square has a new owner. Local property management and development company Weaving Baskets Group (WBG) purchased Cornwall’s last indoor mall from Quebec based Group Quint.

Like many malls, the Cornwall Square isn’t what it used to be. Fewer stores, just a couple of restaurants in the food court, and a lot of empty space. However, I think that this change in ownership will lead to positive growth and a brighter future for Cornwall’s last indoor mall.

The Square is a little over 40 years old. Unlike malls closely located near highways or new areas of development, the Cornwall Square was built in a historic neighbourhood in the heart of this city. Many historic homes and a church were demolished to make room for the mall, and the mall also claimed part of the once much larger Horovitz Park. The city sacrificed a lot to make the mall happen. The citizens of Cornwall have an investment in the Cornwall Square and an interest in its future.

I, like many others in Cornwall, I think, want to see whatever develops on that prime piece of real estate flourish.

I mentioned that the Cornwall Square is the city’s last indoor mall, because as some of you remember, Cornwall at one-time had three. Both the Brookdale Mall and the Eastcourt Mall have undergone significant changes and moved away from the indoor mall model to something more like a strip mall.

The Cornwall Square’s new owners too seem to be planning to make significant changes to the property. Tom Hughes, Vice President of WBG said that his company is wants to attract more retail outlets to the mall, as well as introduce mixed-use development.

I think mixed-use development is the right way to go for the future of the Cornwall Square. The challenges facing the Square aren’t unique, malls across North America have mostly all experienced similar loss of retailers and traffic.

A former owner of the Square, Partners REIT, had planned on turning the former Sears wing of the mall into residential apartments prior to selling the property to Group Quint.

I think this was a smart move then and still is now. Having built in housing, where potential customers can live on site will make the mall much more attractive for retailers while also helping to solve the housing shortage in Cornwall.

The most important improvement to the Square that I think the new owners can make would be to attract and add a grocery store to their roster.

When the Cornwall Square lost its grocery store, I think that was a terrible setback not only for the mall, but for Cornwall’s downtown as well.

There are a lot of people who live in downtown, including a lot of seniors, and no grocery store within walking distance.

I’m not necessarily envisioning a full grocery store, like a No Frills or Food Basics, but maybe a smaller mom and pop type shop that sells a few staples and maybe some specialty items.

Like I said, the Cornwall Square occupies an important place in the city’s history and geography and the citizens of Cornwall do have a special interest in its future.

I think that having local owners who have a vision for the mall’s future is definitely a step in the right direction.

Back then, any day you saw a line of cars approaching and their headlights were on, you pulled onto the shoulder. It was a sign of respect of a passing funeral cortege.

To signal turning left, right or slowing down, there were prescribed hand signals. Then the Morris Minors and Austin Devons from the UK introduced flipper signals. They too are a thing of the past. Unfortunately, too many of today’s drivers don’t signal their intent in any manner.

cure himself with a drug used to de-worm horses. His family said they are re-thinking the decision to to be vaccinated.

THIS MONTH IN 1938: – Cornwall Township was one of four Ontario municipalities being investigated by the Ontario department of welfare after allegations of widespread malnutrition among welfare recipients in the four jurisdictions. Also being investigated was that some welfare recipients were being exploited by employers. ...

Township police were treating the death of a local man found hanging in the Dingwall bush a mile north of the city limit (Ninth Street) as homicide. The body, found high up in a tree by a partridge hunter, had been in the tree for at least four months. The man had been reported missing in early May. ... Lorne A. Meldrum, certified embalmer, joined the Bert Jardine funeral home at 45 Second St. W. ... A Mille Roches man, Percy J. Johnston, was awarded $1,000 by a supreme court jury for injuries he received when a horse pulling a Canada Bread delivery wagon bolted and upset the Johnston carriage, throwing the driver to the ground. ... The new hall at St. Paul’s Church at First and Sydney streets was opened. It included a small gym and Sunday School rooms. ... A man armed with a revolver held up the W. C. Burns Drug Store on Pitt Street.

He made off with $40 from the cash register. A suspect was arrested a few days later. ... A man who attempted to steal 25 cents from a Salvation Army worker’s collection plate outside the Capitol Theatre was hit with a twomonth jail sentence. In addition to the attempted theft charge, he was convicted of assaulting the theatre doorman who came to the female Army volunteer’s assistance. In sentencing the man, Magistrate P. C. Bergeron said

since the man showed no respect for a worthy institution (Salvation Army), the court was showing no respect for the accused. In the day, the Salvation Army made Saturday night collections at public places, including bars and taverns.

SPORTS STUFF: Neat Eddie Shack story told on TSN radio (Montreal) the other day. Shack had limited reading and writing skills. One night in Boston the Bruins bench spent the first two periods chirping at Shack along the lines of “Hey Shack, how do you spell (this and that)?” Shack scored late in the third period to give the Leafs a onegoal lead. He skated past the Boston bench and yelled out, “G-O-A-L.” ... New York Yankees’ pitcher Jameson Taillon has a strong tie to St. Andrew’s West.

His father, Michael, was born and raised in the village. His mother is from Montreal. The veteran pitcher was born in Florida but claims dual citizenship.

The 6-foot-5 Taillon was taken second overall by Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2010 draft. The Pirates gave the 18-year-old a $6.5 million signing bonus, second highest given to a MLB draft pick. He still has family in the St. Andrew’s area. Few years back, when the Jays were playing the Pirates in a pre-season game in Montreal, Jays’ TV play-by-play announcer Buck Martinez pointed out that Taillon was from a little town called St. Andrew’s West, not far from Cornwall.

TRIVIA: What was the most watched TV show in 1955? 1) Maverick, 2) Rawhide, 3) The $64,000 Question, 4) I Love Lucy, 5) The Honeymooners.

With the COVID-19 fourth-wave threatening to break down the emergency room door, Cornwall Community Hospital is braced for a potential post-Thanksgiving uptick in admissions that could snap a strained health care system.

The hospital went into the Thanksgiving long weekend with 18 COVID-19 patients, five of them in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). There are eight hospital staffers at home with COVID-19.

How bad are the Cornwall hospital admission numbers?

On the weekend, Ottawa hospitals reported a total of four COVID-19 patients.

Cornwall’s lone hospital had 14 more COVID-19 patients than the three main Ottawa hospitals, which serve a population of 1 million-plus, combined.

The number of active COVID-19 cases in Cornwall at the start of the weekend was 76, which accounted for half the total number of cases in the EOHU area which takes in SD and G along with Prescott-Russell.

Back on Sept. 7, CCH had just two COVID-19 patients. The number of active cases in the city on Sept. 7 was 12. We were talking about turning the corner. Unfortunately, we’ve turned the wrong corner.

According to Eastern Ontario Health Unit statistics, Cornwall’s positive test rates are five times higher than the provincial average. That is a major concern.

Some parts of the city have a vaccination rate – 69% - far below the provincial – 82% - and EOHU – 84%

- averages.

Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, EOHU medical officer of health, said that with the low vaccination rate in Cornwall it is no coincidence that the fourth wave is threating to swamp the hospital. He doesn’t hesitate to draw a direct line between unvaccinated persons and the spike in cases serious enough to require hospital care.

The vast majority of the 76 active cases in Cornwall going into the weekend involved persons who had not been fully vaccinated.

Science and the medical professional are on the same page when it comes to touting vaccinations as the best tool in the box when it comes to fighting the pandemic.

And when it comes to claims that the vaccine is not safe to take, I’m more concerned with what is in my hot dog.

HERE AND THERE: Back in the mid1950s the door to Cornwall Golf and Country Club was closed to Cornwall and area French-Canadiens. Among the first French-Canadiens to be allowed to join were Roland “Joe” Mercier, Jock Dalbec and former Standard-Freeholder photographer Marcel Quenneville, all better than average golfers. And they weren’t exactly welcomed with open hands. Quenneville told how the club pro always claimed to be too busy to give him a couple of lessons. ... Some folks have another name for a water efficient toilet: a double-flusher.

THIS AND THAT: One of the most vocal critics of masking and COVID-19 vaccines in Texas has died, as they say in Texas, with his boots on. Well, not quit. The 30-year-old father of three and pregnant wife died while hooked up to a ventilator. He headed up an anti-vax group called Freedom Fighters. He contracted the virus three months ago and was admitted to hospital after trying to

LETTERS nseebruch@seawaynews.media An Answer for Anti-Vaxxers Dear Editor, Local news reports and the Eastern Ontario Health Unit have been focusing on the troubling low rate of fully vaccinated Cornwall and area citizens. Hospitalizations are increasing and the reports indicate that a large majority of admitted patients are unvaccinated.

While I understand there are those who, for legitimate reasons cannot be vaccinated, there are far too many of these so-called ‘anti-vaxxers’. Some are caught up in disinformation, some because it supposedly infringes on their human rights and some who believe that COVID is either a hoax or, that governments are seeking to impose unreasonable controls over how we live.

Whatever the case, many of the unvaccinated are taking up much needed hospital beds and those with legitimate health care needs are being denied access. And then, there

is the cost and that is an issue that must be addressed, especially since a hospital bed is paid for by our tax dollars.

So here’s a thought. To those who refuse the vaccine for no legitimate reason, test positive, and are hospitalized, they should be assessed at least a portion of the daily cost to keep them there. Why should those of us who have acted responsibly and protected both themselves and others be forced to subsidize the ones who refuse?

No doubt, my suggestion will not be viewed positively by those in the antivaxxine camp. The reality is that their unwarranted burden on health care, coupled with the added cost to taxpayers suggest that measures such as this one may well be considered appropriate in order to deal with financial impact of the COVID crisis.

Dear Editor: As reported in the September 29 issue of Seaway News, Cornwall council has decided to force us to use water meters. Homeowners will also have the pleasure of paying for these meters. I’m sure we won’t be charged the exact cost of those meters, and the city will be marking them up. It sure would be nice to see the cost per meter, and what we’re being charged for them! We’re supposed to be under the impression the City is doing us a favour, and reducing our bills when we realize we have to pay per drop. Also mentioned was

residential homes will pay a base charge every month on their water bill, in addition to usage. Councillor Claude McIntosh is quoted as saying “Selling water is one of the only things the city does that makes money”. If we, as residents and businesses end up scared to use the water we’re billed for, and the city therefore takes in less revenue, rest assured that base charge will climb pretty darn quick! Welcome to cash grab city, folks!

CORNWALL, Ontario – The 2021 Fire Prevention Week in Canada was held between Oct. 3 and 9 with the theme this year being “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety”. On Saturday October 9, the Cornwall Fire Services (CFS) held a Fire Prevention Open House behind the east end station of the Cornwall Police Services at 330 Montreal Rd. Matthew Stephenson, Deputy Chief of the Cornwall Fire Services (CFS) commented the free event provided visitors with the opportunity to view displays from several community organizations including the Cornwall Police Services, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the Cornwall SDG Paramedic Service.

During the event, the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) provided a pop-up COVID19 vaccination clinic.

When asked about attended, he explained 100 people had pre-registered for either the morning or afternoons sessions, which was the maximum number allowed. Participants were able to speak with first responders and see their vehicles while enjoying a slice of

pizza, piece of cake or a bottle of water.

Children were provided a passport which was stamped at the different stations which were able to be exchanged for a gift when they were ready to leave the event. Sparky the Fire Dog made an appearance during the event, which delighted people of all ages who were able to take photos of the loveable canine.

During the two sessions, a grease fire demonstration and an extraction simulation using the Jaws of Life equipment. People were able to see both the cutter and spreader which are used in the rescue operation. The Jaws of Life demonstration provided visitors with the opportunity to see and understand the steps involved in an extraction from a vehicle following an accident. Each step of the procedure was carefully explained before it was demonstrated in an informative and educational manner.

An event such as this provides the public with the opportunity to learn about fire safety as well as meeting our first responders, seeing the vehicles they use and learn about community safety.

➤ October is breast cancer awareness month and as a two time survivor I didn’t think I needed any more awareness, but that was until I learned about inflammatory breast cancer. Inflammatory breast cancer is rare but aggressive, meaning it grows and spreads quickly. In most cases, inflammatory breast cancer has already spread to the lymph nodes or other organs by the time it is diagnosed. It does not cause a lump so is not detected by a regular mammogram. The symptoms could include: redness, swelling, thickening of the skin of the breast or a pitted appearance an orange peel.

ARIES: With the dreary, cold weather upon you, you’ll feel the need to stay in shape. This might prompt you to join a gym so you can exercise more regularly.

TAURUS: There’s no need to rush your decision.

Let life’s ebb and flow guide you and carry you to the right destination. Listen to your intuition over the next few days.

GEMINI: Watch your step or you risk making a blunder that will leave those around you laughing.

Fortunately, only your pride will be hurt, and you’ll manage to ease the tension in the room.

CANCER: Time is in short supply. It would be a really bad idea to schedule too many appointments on the same day. Otherwise, some of them may end up overlapping. A vacation might do you good.

LEO: As the days get increasingly shorter, you’ll be eager to find an activity to brighten your mood. A new pursuit will bring you a feeling of excitement that will make you want to go out and celebrate more often.

VIRGO: You’ll feel overly sensitive, and an event will push you to make changes in your life. At work, one of your company’s competitors will try to woo you with better conditions and opportunities for advancement.

LIBRA: You need to spruce up your look, and you won’t be able to resist spoiling yourself. You’re adept at negotiating good prices or cutting better deals for yourself and at work.

SCORPIO: At work, you find yourself stuck with all the emergencies and problematic files. Fortunately, this will benefit you in the long run by providing you with new tools for the next step in your career.

Fortunately, you’ll have the opportunity to show off.

Just make sure it’s for the right reasons, and remember to share valuable information.

CAPRICORN: You’ll have to deal with some small, family-related obligations. You might also have to stay home for part of the week to keep an eye on renovations or wait for a delivery that’s expected to arrive.

AQUARIUS: You may find yourself being pulled in several directions at once. Plus, your phone won’t stop ringing. Avoid any type of criticism of your partner or loved ones if you want to preserve the hard-won peace you’ve earned.

PISCES: Be careful with your money, and try to stick to your budget as much as possible. There could be unexpected expenses around the corner related to your home or family. Discipline will become necessary if you have young children.

Carefor continues commitment to care by adapting to pandemic

isolation of some of their clients.

Nearly half of all of Carefor’s clients have family who live outside of the region and are not nearby. Carefor had relied on its centres and its volunteers to maintain connections with these clients. With the closure of the centres however, Carefor was able to redeploy those staff members and use them to conduct porch visits for their more isolated clients, and to support their Meal Delivery Program, which had seen an increase in demand, but was heavily supported by volunteers prior to the pandemic.

Kuipers explained that some of Carefor’s services simply could not be done in-person any more, such as their exercise programs.

To keep their exercise classes going in a safe way, Carefor began offering those programs in a virtual form and also provided electronic devices like iPads to some of their clients to help facilitate their participation.

These virtual classes happened over Zoom, and Kuipers said that one client liked the classes so much, she offered to purchase a Zoom license for Carefor to allow for longer sessions.

“It was so nice to see someone so invested in the program that they wanted to see it grow,” she said. “It is an example of us getting feedback from a client who wanted to see a change in the way we deliver our services.”

Some Carefor clients also took it upon themselves to ensure that they remained physically active during the pandemic, forming neighbourhood walking groups.

Kuipers said that the groups also got a little bit competitive with one another, with one group covering enough kilometers in their own neighbourhood that they would almost have been able to

reach Fredericton NB. Carefor’s centres truly were regional hubs that offered important social and health services to their clients. One popular program was their indoor dining program that would take place weekly at their centres. Due to the pandemic, this program too had to be delivered in a different way.

The centres began offering weekly drive thru meals for Carefor clients.

“The drive thrus became another important opportunity to check-in with our clients,” Kuipers said. “It was really good to see people face-to-face. It was a good way to evaluate their health.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has put a strain on not just Carefor’s clients but on their client’s families and caregivers as well.

Kuipers said that Carefor had to adjust how they supported caregivers during the pandemic, explaining that many felt that they were pushed to the breaking point. Kuipers explained that offering support to caregivers included phone calls, porch visits, and advocating for their loved ones who were on waitlists for long-term care facilities.

Kuipers was optimistic that there was a light

coming at the end of the tunnel and said that some of their programs that were put on hiatus have started back including yoga, baking classes, their creative writing group, and book club.

Dorothy Middleton is a client of Carefor who participates in their virtual exercise classes three times a week. She says that it is a great way to see people and that they have participants from as far away as Toronto and even Costa Rica.

Middleton also participates at her local Carefor centre where she goes to do crafts, and also receives support from Carefor at home.

“Carefor is so wonderful,” she said. “They help me with hair washing and making food for lunch. It allows me to stay in my home and that is a biggy with Carefor. Without them, coming in to help with things I would be in a home.”

While the pandemic has certainly changed many of Carefor’s programs and the way that they are delivered, one thing that it hasn’t changed is Carefor’s commitment to supporting their clients to live a safe and happy life in their homes.

The COVID-19 pandemic presented challenges to a variety and sectors and industries, and perhaps none more so than the industry that supports the most vulnerable members of the population, long-term and at-home care.

Carefor faced significant challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic and had to rethink the way it delivered many of its services to its clients.

Carefor services support the part of the population that has faced the greatest risk during the pandemic, seniors and those experiencing ongoing health issues.

An immediate change to their at-home care services included introducing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for their Personal Support Workers who were going into client’s homes to provide care.

An immediate challenge that Carefor had to overcome was the necessity to pullback on their reliance on volunteers.

Diane Kuipers, Carefor’s Manager of Community Support Services for the Eastern Counties described volunteers as being the organizations arms and legs and that without them, some of their services and regional centres had to be closed temporarily.

Carefor quickly began redeploying its resources and focused on finding innovative ways of breaking the

L’HCC et le BSEO sonnent l’alarme sur les tendances inquiétantes de la COVID-19 à Cornwall COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE L’HCC CORNWALL, Ontario - L’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall (HCC) et le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario (BSEO) sont inquiets du taux élevé de COVID-19 et du faible taux de vaccination à Cornwall, lesquels contribuent significativement à la hausse de la propagation dans la communauté et des hospitalisations dans la ville. Le taux de positivité des tests à Cornwall est présentement 5 fois plus élevé que la moyenne provinciale.

En date du 7 octobre, 18 patients atteints de la COVID-19 sont admis au HCC, dont 5 aux soins intensifs; le mois dernier, notamment le 7 septembre, il n’y en avait que 2 à l’hôpital. De plus, 8 membres du personnel du HCC sont à la maison, malade de la COVID-19. L’hôpital a dû déjà resserrer ses restrictions concernant les visiteurs en résultat et craint devoir apporter d’autres changements à ses activités et à ses services de soins de santé. « La rapidité à laquelle la COVID-19 se propage dans la communauté a une incidence directe sur l’hôpital local. Il est très important pour nos patients, que nos services de santé non reliés à la COVID, par exemple les chirurgies non urgentes, soient maintenus. C’est pourquoi nous supplions la

La solution est d’augmenter le taux de vaccination dans la région de Cornwall et de continuer de respecter les directives de santé publique, surtout pendant la fin de semaine de l’Action de grâce qui arrive », poursuit le Dr Roumeliotis.

EST ONTARIO - Au début de la nouvelle année scolaire, le Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO) a dévoilé sa nouvelle mission et vision qui soutiennent le Plan stratégique « Innovation 2021-2025 ».

Le CSDCEO entend se consacrer pour les 4 prochaines années à sa nouvelle mission: au sein d’une société diverse, stimuler chez l’élève une conscience écocitoyenne et une volonté à vouloir changer le monde, tout en l’accompagnant dans le cheminement de sa foi catholique, son identité francophone et sa réussite.

communauté de bien vouloir prendre la COVID-19 au sérieux, de se faire vacciner et de rester vigilant », dit Jeanette Despatie, Présidente et directrice générale du HCC. Il est particulièrement préoccupant que des quartiers de Cornwall ont des taux de vaccination parmi les plus bas en Ontario, certains aussi faibles que 69 % des résidents admissibles étant entièrement vaccinés. À des fins de comparaison, 84 % de la population admissible dans la région sanitaire élargie du BSEO sont entièrement vaccinés et 82 % de la population admissible de la province l’étant également. « Ce n’est pas une coïncidence qu’il y ait une telle poussée de cas et d’hospitalisations dans Cornwall. La grande majorité de ceux-ci se produisent parmi les personnes non vaccinées », déclare le Dr Paul Roumeliotis, Médecin hygiéniste du Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario. « De plus, un taux élevé de transmission de COVID-19 dans la communauté se traduit par un taux élevé de cas et de flambées dans les milieux scolaires et les milieux de vie en collectivité. Ce qui est présentement le cas. » Le HCC et le BSEO sont tous deux inquiets d’une poussée de cas et d’hospitalisations dans les jours et les semaines qui suivront la longue fin de semaine de l’Action de grâce. «

Herrington pour la 2e au 42e tour. McPherson se rapproche du meneur par la mi-course, il utilise la ligne intérieure et parvient à dépasser Pagé pour la première au 61e tour. Partant 18e, James Friesen avait une très bonne voiture dans la dernière portion de la finale et vient au 2e rang et donne du fil à retordre à McPherson mais ce dernier vient remporter la victoire.

En Pro-Stock, la finale de 50 tours, s’est déroulée rapidement avec une bonne bataille au premier rang entre Jocelyn Roy, Bruno Richard et Pascal Payeur. Roy utilise son expérience en minimisant les erreurs et remporte la finale.

En Mod-Lite, la finale de 25 tours a été l’affaire de Steve Comeau qui a pris les devants au premier tiers de la finale, il a été dominant durant tout le weekend.

Stéphane St-Laurent a eu le meilleur dans la finale de 25 tours en Lightning Sprints, il l’a remporté devant Tommy Moreau et Jordan Poirier.

Dernière journée d’activité demain pour le Fall Showdown Weekend, on aura la fin des championnats en Modifiés et Sportsman, la finale de 125 tours payant la somme de $10,000 sera certainement l’évènement à surveiller.

SDG council looks to reform Warden replacement

BY PHILLIP BLANCHER LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER CORNWALL, Ontario – The practice of drawing a name from a hat to settle a tie in the SDG Counties Warden election will be a thing of the past after this term of council is over.

Maybe.

At its September 29 Committee of the Whole meeting SDG County Council debated reform to voting for warden, now that the position has evolved in recent decades from a ceremonial to a more advocacy role.

“I’m tired of looking Mickey Mouse and picking a warden out of a hat,” said Councillor Jamie MacDonald (North Glengarry). “It’s not fun to tell someone ‘ya, I am the new Warden.

I got my name picked out of a hat.”

Three times in recent warden elections, the vote was split 50/50 among the 12 members of County Council. In those instances, the winner was chosen from a hat.

Warden Allan Armstrong agreed with

MacDonald saying, “If there is nothing that makes this position negligible, it’s pulling a name out of a hat.”

Council agreed that the hat draw needed replacing. MacDonald pitched the idea that the sitting warden would not be able to vote in the next warden election, leaving only 11 to vote ensuring no ties.

He added that if the sitting warden sought re-election for a second year, the warden would have to work harder to secure the needed votes.

The consensus around council supported MacDonald’s solution.

After the council meeting, it was discovered that his solution contravened Ontario’s Municipal Act, that a sitting member of a council cannot have their vote removed.

Council will discuss other potential tie breaking solutions at a future meeting when the warden election changes are adopted by council.

Another issue discussed regarding the warden’s position is succession planning in the

event a warden cannot fulfill the one year term.

SDG Council found itself without a clear succession policy following the removal of Frank Prevost as warden in June 2021.

Prevost was deemed ineligible to continue as warden after taking a leave of absence from South Glengarry council while he faces multiple sex crime charges before the courts.

Armstrong told council he wanted to fix the rules for succession, which will also apply if a warden resigns or is otherwise unable to serve the term.

He said he was surprised there was no policy already in place.

“It falls to us to clean up this little issue,” Armstrong said.

Council opted to adopt what Grey County in Western Ontario already does for filling a vacated warden position.

The immediate past-Warden will automatically be the ceremonial deputy warden for SDG. In the event of a sudden vacancy in the

warden position, the deputy warden will serve as warden for the balance of the one year term. A provision will be added to the draft bylaw in case the past warden no longer is a member of council.

Councillor Kirsten Gardner (South Dundas) agreed citing that in a controversial event, having someone who had previous held the role would be better.

Councillors debated whether to return to rotating the warden’s job between the three counties that make up SDG. The majority of council supported the status quo, keeping the existing “best person for the job” election system.

Changes discussed at the COTW meeting were not voted on as a bylaw. Those changes will be brought to a future regular council meeting as a draft bylaw to be adopted. All changes discussed will affect the 2022-26 term of council.

Cornwall Police Service to enact vaccination policy NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall Police Services (CPS) Chief Shawna Spowart presented the service’s vaccination police to the CPS Board on Thursday, Oct. 7.

“I believe that we have a heightened responsibility to protect our members, our members families, and members of the community,” said Spowart.

The policy, which heavily mirrors the one the City of Cornwall enacted for its employees two weeks ago, will require all CPS employees to disclose to the CPS Human Resources department whether or not they have received the COVID-19 vaccine by Oct. 15.

Those who have not been fully vaccinated

by Oct. 15 will have to submit to mandatory COVID-19 testing three days a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The

testing will be provided for free by the Cornwall-SDG Paramedics Service at their headquarters on Campbell St. from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. until Nov. 15 at which time unvaccinated employees will have to pay for the testing themselves.

“This is not a mandatory vaccination policy, this is a mandatory testing policy,” Spowart said.

Spowart noted that students and volunteers who work with the CPS will be held to this policy as well, and that all new employees will be required to be fully vaccinated.

Those who do not comply with the vaccination policy can face disciplinary action up to termination of their employment. Additionally, those who are not vaccinated will not be permitted to work from home. There will be exemptions to this policy for those who cannot receive the vaccine for medical reasons.

OCTOBER 2021

Small Business Month

Small business interest as strong as ever in Cornwall challenges is having to deal with impact of the pandemic, which could mean increased costs, increased debt and loss of business – or a combination of all three,” Peters said. “There have been a number government support programs to mitigate some of those challenges.

Fortunately, we have a good local support network of organizations such as ACCFutures and the Chamber of Commerce - along with local business professionals - who can help guide small business owners to find solutions.”

A chronic problem that Peters and

other local organizations continue to address is a shortage of workers in the region. Peters explained that he is actively working to attract more people to Cornwall.

“There are a number of contributing factors to this worker shortage, which includes an increase in recruitment by many of our largest employers, retiring baby boomers, a shift in worker interest to other sectors along with a number of factors related to the pandemic,” he said “We are helping businesses – both large and small - connect with job seekers via the ChooseCornwall.ca

Bridges to Better Business “We are excited to showcase our entrepreneur’s determination and ability to adapt in light of the pandemic,” said Lesley Thompson, Executive Director of ACCFutures.

Registration Bridges webinars are free to attend and there will be a small fee to attend the networking dinner to help cover cost of food. The focus is on the small business sector in Cornwall, SDG and Akwesasne. Additional information can be found at https://cornwallchamber.com/ bridges-to-better-business/ About Bridges to Better Business The Bridges to Better Business event was created to celebrate Small Business Month by providing information about current issues, emerging best practices and to provide a networking opportunity for local business people. Bridges to Better Business is organized by the Cornwall & Area Chamber of Commerce, the Cornwall Business Enterprise Centre, and ACCFutures. This unique execution of Bridges to Better Business is supported by sponsors, the Business Development Bank of Canada, MNP, Drake International, Cornwall Economic Development and the Eastern Ontario Training Board.

Cornwall Ontario – October is Small Business Month and local business organizations are partnering to host the Bridges to Better Business event on Thursday October 21.

Bridges to Better Business 2021 The daylong event will feature a series of webinars tackling two very important and timely issues – workforce recruitment and debt repayment. The webinars will be targeted to small business entrepreneurs and will include an Q+A session. 2021 marks the seventh consecutive year that the Bridges event has been held in Cornwall.

“These small businesses did not just conform to new regulations, but were able to innovate new and exciting ways to conduct business that will not only take them to the end of the pandemic, but will prepare them for the future,” says Greg Pietersma, Executive Director of the Cornwall Chamber of Commerce.

For the second year in the row, the Bridges event will be mostly held online. In addition to the webinars, an in-person networking reception will take place in the evening. Attendees will hear from local experts on the importance of dealing with mental health issues. Food and refreshments will be served. Attendance is limited to 50 people and all local health and safety protocols will be in full effect.

Organizations like the Eastern Ontario Training Board, St. Lawrence College and Job Zone d’emploi and creating training opportunities for people to upgrade their skills. We are also working to attract more people to come and live and work in Cornwall, with the ultimate goal of growing our workforce to accommodate our growing business sector.”

Peters views small businesses as a key driver of the local economy, one he says is supported by Choose Cornwall and a range of other organizations throughout the community.

Bob Peters, Cornwall’s Division Manager for Economic Development said that the interest in starting a small business remains strong in Cornwall.

Peters explained that over the past year, the Cornwall Business Enterprise Centre (CBEC) had 29 businesses apply to the Starter Company Plus program in the Spring of 2021 and currently have 31 businesses applied for the Fall.

Small businesses continue to face challenges however, particularly due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pandemic-inspired business trends: HOW SMALL BUSINESSES HAVE ADAPTED BDC Small Business Week, which takes place from October 17 to 23, is an ideal occasion to celebrate Canada’s small businesses and recognize their critical role in the country’s economy. Although they were particularly hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent economic crisis, many small business owners demonstrated resilience and ingenuity. Here are a few ways these entrepreneurs have adapted to new business realities.

TRANSFORMING THEIR OFFERINGS While many Canadians were eager to support local businesses during the pandemic, owners still had to figure out how to get their products into the hands of consumers despite lockdowns and public health restrictions. Some restaurants, for example, created new dining experiences with ready-to-cook meal kits or take-out picnic baskets.

MAKING IT WORK FROM HOME Companies of all sizes had to adapt to having a remote workforce during the pandemic. For certain small business owners, however, this required them to think outside the box. Yoga instructors and personal trainers, among others, hosted virtual classes over video chat and organized outdoor events to stay connected with their clients.

EMBRACING TECHNOLOGY The already popular trend of shopping online skyrocketed during the pandemic. Many small retailers took the opportunity to build or bolster a transactional website for their business. In addition, this pivot to digital solutions opened up new possibilities for companies to improve their customer experience and increase productivity.

As Canada’s entrepreneurs have shown over the past year and a half, being adaptable is the key to ensuring small businesses can survive and thrive.

EMPOWERING ENTREPRENEURS

Time to prepare to pay back COVID-19 grant funding The Akwesasne, Cornwall and the Counties Futures (ACCFutures) wants small businesses to start thinking about paying back their Regional Relief and Recovery Fund (RRRF) and Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA) loans.

These funding streams were issued during the COVID-19 pandemic to help small businesses make ends meet and stay afloat.

An important aspect of these loans that small business owners need to remember is that part of the RRRF grants must be repaid by Dec. 31, 2022.

For those who received RRRF loans in an amount less than $40,000, 75 per cent of the loan must be paid back by Dec. 31, 2022 for the remaining 25 per cent to be forgiven. For loans between $40,000 and $60,000 50 per cent must be paid back by

Dec. 31, 2022 for the remaining 50 per cent to be forgiven.

“After the Christmas season this year, this should be the first thing on the minds of small business owners who have used these loans,” said Lesley Thompson, Executive Director of ACCFutures.

For CEBA loan holders, the balance of the loan must be repaid by Dec. 31, 2022 for 33 per cent of the loan to be forgiven, up to $20,000.

ACC Avenir has a diverse team to support local small business owners.

They recently added Ahwennaseh Mitchell to their team as a Business Developer dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs in Akwesasne.

Le moment est venu de vous préparer à rembourser ou à refinancer vos prêts COVID-19 ACCAvenir (auparavant la Société d’aide au développement des collectivités de Cornwall et les Comtés) invite les petites entreprises à commencer à planifier le remboursement de leurs prêts du Fonds d’aide et de relance régionale (FARR) et du Compte d’urgence pour les entreprises canadiennes (CUEC).

Ce financement a été offert par des sociétés d’aide au développement des collectivités et des banques à charte de partout au pays durant la pandémie de COVID-19 pour aider les petites entreprises à traverser la tempête.

Toutefois, les entrepreneurs ne doivent pas

oublier que les prêts du FARR et du CUEC doivent être remboursés ou refinancés au plus tard le 31 décembre 2022, sans quoi aucune exonération ne sera offerte.

Dans le cas précis des prêts du FARR administrés par ACCAvenir, 25 % des premiers 40 000 $ et 50 % des 20 000 $ suivants peuvent être exonérés si le bénéficiaire rembourse tous les montants en souffrance au plus tard le 31 décembre 2022. La portion de l’exonération fondée sur un taux de 25 % et la portion de l’exonération fondée sur un taux de 50 % sont combinées en une seule tranche d’exonération, qui devient

uniquement accessible si tous les montants en souffrance sont remboursés au plus tard le 31 décembre 2022. « Après le temps des Fêtes cette année, la priorité des propriétaires de petite entreprise qui ont bénéficié de prêts devrait être le remboursement de ceux-ci. Nous recommandons aux propriétaires d’entreprise de venir nous rencontrer afin d’élaborer un plan. Ce serait bien dommage que des entreprises passent à côté de l’exonération », explique Lesley Thompson, directrice générale d’ACCAvenir.

Les bénéficiaires de prêts du CUEC, quant à eux, doivent rembourser leur solde au plus

tard le 31 décembre 2022 pour bénéficier d’une radiation de 33 % de leur prêt, jusqu’à concurrence de 20 000 $.

ACCAvenir rassemble une équipe diversifiée prête à soutenir les propriétaires de petite entreprise.

Ahwennaseh Mitchell s’est récemment joint à l’équipe à titre de responsable du développement commercial dédié à appuyer les entrepreneurs d’Akwesasne.

South Glengarry is a town that just can’t seem to stop gaining new and interesting businesses, adding on to their already large number of diverse shops to choose from.

Since 1998, the Township of South Glengarry has become a popular tourist destination thanks to its local farms, businesses, and cultural heritage.

Not only does South Glengarry hold some of the best local cuisine in the area, they also have many great shops for gift giving, making it a great place to have a fun shopping excursion, and even grab a bite to eat.

There are also great events that are up and coming for South Glengarry, like Marigold Market, a new local business set to open by the end of October, where customers can buy an array of products, from gourmet foods to fresh cut flowers, and even hosting an art gallery where local artists can display their work.

“We are very excited to open our doors on October 28th and showcase the incredibly

talented artists, vendors and makers have within our community,” said Christine McCool, Co-owner of Marigold Market.

To show their appreciation of small businesses, the township of South Glengarry has announced that on Nov. 26, they will be launching a new small business initiative called Paint the Town Plaid, an initiative to help bring in new patrons to support these local shops.

As Nov. 26 is also Plaid Friday, it is a day to shop local and support small businesses, therefore many businesses in Lancaster and South Lancaster, as well as the small stores scattered around South Glengarry, will be participating in Paint the Town Plaid.

Cornwall Gives A Shirt is back October 18 to 23!

FROM THE CITY OF CORNWALL

For the past four years, Cornwall residents have donated a staggering amount of textile waste.

This past spring, a total of 22,000 pounds of clothing, bedding, and shoes was donated in just one week. That waste was collected, in large part, by two people: Steve Smith and Lonnie McCracken, members of the waste management division.

“When you see how much clothing waste there is, it’s really overwhelming,” said Smith.

“Our thrift stores can’t keep up with how much we bring in over the course of one week.”

Cornwall Gives A Shirt is back from October 18 to 23. To participate, simply: Collect used clothing, shoes, or linen.

Bag them and place a sign on the bag stating: “give a shirt” If you have items that are torn, stained, or not reusable, please label the bag “clothes for recycling” Put the bag(s) out on your regular collection day, a few feet away from your garbage and recycling.

Items like toys, housewares, and books will not be accepted.

Donations will be brought to the Agape Centre’s New For You, Baldwin House’s Serendipity Boutique, and the Salvation Army thrift store. When these stores are no longer able to accept donations, leftovers will be

605

Help wanted

605

Help wanted

brought to Value Village and any other thrift stores in Eastern Ontario that can accept clothes.

The goal of Cornwall Gives A Shirt is to keep clothing waste out of the landfill. Textiles can be reused – sold in thrift stores – or recycled, to be made into new materials.

“Every piece of clothing we pick up over the week is kept out of the landfill,” said Dave Kuhn, Waste Management Supervisor. “I’d like to take that a step further – can we reduce the amount of textile waste we create?”

To avoid generating textile waste, consider…

-Shopping at thrift stores and vintage clothing stores (in addition to those we’ve listed earlier, used clothing can be purchased locally at Echo Trends and DG1 Vintage) -Quality over quantity: instead of buying three pairs of low-quality pants, consider choosing one higher-quality pair that will last longer -Avoiding fast fashion – clothing that will wear out quickly -Collecting the classics – clothing that won’t go out of style -Organizing swaps and hand-me-down events with family and friends -Repairing, repurposing, and, when all else fails, recycling: some thrift stores, like Agape Centre’s New For You, accept clothing for recycling

OPP open new collision reporting centre in Long Sault PROVIDED BY THE OPP LONG SAULT, Ontario – On October 4, 2021 the Stormont Dundas & Glengarr y Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have launched the provinces newest Collision Reporting Centre (CRC).

Motorists involved in a property damage collision, within the municipality of SD&G, are now able to report their collision at CRC which is located at the SD&G OPP Long Sault Detachment at 4 Mille Roches Road, Long Sault, Ontario.

Eight (8) similar OPP CRC’s can be found in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and Essex detachments of the OPP. Drivers involved in a property damage collision in any of these detachment areas can now conveniently report their collision to any of these CRC’s within 48 hours of the occurrence.

The Highway Traffic Act requires that all

collisions where people are injured or Property Damage is valued at more than $2,000.00 to vehicles or property, or damage to any highway property to be reported to Police forthwith. Reporting to the CRC will meet this requirement.

Property damage collisions consume a large amount of police resources and time as well as put all involved occupants at risk of being involved in a secondary collision and greater risk of injury.

The SD&G OPP will continue to offer the same excellent service in responding to collisions that require an officer to attend, however, many collisions on SD&G highways are minor in nature and drivers are able to clear their vehicles quickly and safely off the highway without police assistance. An officer who attends a collision may direct those involved persons to attend the CRC.

John was a friendly, kind and hardworking man. He was often seen in the neighbourhood chatting with his customers while cutting grass, snowblowing or doing other odd jobs.

Always honest in his dealings, he kept busy tuning up lawnmowers or snowblowers or moving things that needed moving. With a smile on his face, John was available anytime to lend a helping hand.

He was the ultimate handyman and will be missed by many.

Rest in Peace.

One of our goals is to ensure that these property damage collisions no longer increase traffic congestion and reduce the chance of a more serious collisions from occurring. This is achieved by diverting motorists to a location off the highway to allow the administration of reporting the collision.

The CRC will provide a more effective use of police resources and allow frontline officers to focus more time on proactive efforts to enhance public safety.

Collision involving the following will continue to have an officer investigate the collision at the scene: • Death or Injury • Transportation of dangerous goods • Involving large commercial motor vehicles • Fail to remain (unless no driver or vehicle information available for follow up)
