Becoming Resilient to a Changing Climate ECO UPDATE ANGELA PARKER

You may or may not know that in December City Council declared a Climate Emergency in the City. This declaration was brought forth

by Cornwall’s Environment and Climate Change Committee - a Council-directed committee comprised of Council members, and community and local environmental organization representatives. Cornwall joined 500+ communities in Canada that have also declared climate emergencies, including our neighbours in Eastern Ontario: Belleville, Pembroke, Gananoque, Ottawa and Kingston.

Now, you may or may not agree with this proclamation, but it was done to acknowledge global scientific consensus on severity of issue and urgent need for action, and to recognize that climate change is, and will continue, to intensify other major crises. Now, this does not mean that the City has the super powers to spend or do what it wants at will to address and respond to the changing climate.

While you may not agree that today’s climate change is human-caused, you do need to understand that the changing climate has an impact on weather conditions. Keep in mind that weather and climate are not the same. Weather reflects short-term conditions of the atmosphere (it tells us what to wear each day). Climate describes what the weather is like over a long period of time (it tells us what type of clothes to have in your closet). Weather can change in just a few minutes or hours, climate changes over long-

er time frames.

One of the influences of a changing climate (regardless if it is human-caused), is more frequent and intense weather events.

Torrential rain, devastating droughts, extreme heat waves, severe ice storms effect people’s lives globally – even here in Cornwall. No one wants to be a victim of extreme weather phenomena especially when forest fires fueled by drought destroys your home; or when intense rain floods agricultural fields reducing crop production which leads to higher food prices; or when severe heat waves trigger a heat stroke or respiratory problems; or when extreme winds from hurricanes knock out power systems and it affects your daily routine.

You might think that these situations will not happen here. They have and they will. We need to start thinking resiliency and how we can become resilient to the changing climate. The City of Cornwall is investigating

resiliency and this resourcefulness is directly related to Council declaring a climate emergency. How can roads can become tough enough to withstand frequent freeze-thaw?

How can our homes become strong enough to withstand more intense winds? How can we prevent the flooding of our water and sewer systems? Regardless if you believe today’s climate change is human-caused or not, we need to adapt to this changing climate if we want to persist.

In the end, it is so important to consider that this changing climate affects everything including, and not limited to, human health; agriculture and food security; water supply; transportation; energy; and ecosystems. The aspirations of the City of Cornwall can only reflect what is important tomorrow by what choices are made today.

Watch out for this common internet scam

Internet scams are unfortunately part and parcel of the digital world and are something all internet-users need to be aware of — seniors especially, as they are the main target of such scams.

One of the most common internet scams occurs in the following way: 1. A scammer posing as a tech support employee contacts you by phone (they often say they work for Microsoft).

2. They tell you your computer is infected with a virus and offer a free security check.

3. They ask to be allowed remote access to your computer: they give you the steps to do this.

4. Once given remote access, the scammer installs software on your computer, allowing him or her to steal from your accounts. Alternatively, ransomware — a particular type of software that locks your computer — is installed, and the scammer then demands payment to unlock it.

A survey done by Microsoft showed that 15 per cent of computer users have received a call like this.

Protecting yourself from this scam is simple enough. If someone calls to

people. You have a way with animals.

You’re out of work.

Do I have a job for you! There’s a great demand for dog walkers. As COVID restrictions are eased, dining in at restaurants is returning. Offices are no longer in the spare bedroom. The daily commute to downtown is back. Cruising to distant lands is no longer beyond the horizon.

Attempts at remote learning are being replaced by face-to-face interactions within classrooms and gymnasiums.

That return to some degree of normalcy means that the fad for getting a dog has resulted in a problem. ROVER, SPOT and TINKLES, the dogs impulsively acquired during lockdown, are no longer going walkies two or three times a day. Their walkers are now away from home for ten to twelve hours a day.

Listen, I can hear the bugles! The cavalry is coming to the rescue of the home-bound canines. The career of professional dog walker has been born. If you remember that photo of seven happy dogs being simultaneously being taken for a walk, or this week’s illustration of a pack of nine (count them) gathered around their leader, you’ll see a happy man.

TIME FOR A BREAK – Rather than being in solitary confinement all day, these lucky dogs are getting exercise and socialization. It’s quite obvious that the guy at the other end of the nine leashes has the qualities of a pack leader. (Photo by Nick Wolochatiuk) .

As a professional dog walker, you have respect. You are appreciated by your clientele. You get boundless affection from your four-legged wards. You deserve to get paid well.

All the equipment you need is a supply of little plastic bags and a comfortable pair of walking shoes.

Cornwall resident designs app to help stop spread of COVID-19 NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario - Winton Cape has launched a new phone app that is designed to stop the spread of infectious diseases, including COVID-19.

His app, called FaceGuard, was made to help train its users to stop touching their face.

Many diseases can be contracted when an individual touches an infected surface and then rubs their eyes, nose or mouth.

Cape claims in a press release that the typical person touches their face on average 23 times an hour.

The way this app helps users learn to stop this behaviour is it scans the users face using a smartphone’s camera and vibrates if it detects their hands moving towards their face.

The app is intended to be used while the user is doing another activity, like watching TV, or working on the computer. The app would be turned on on the phone with the phone facing the user while the user is doing another task.

“This application uses the smartphone camera and a hand detection Artificial Intelligence (AI) model to detect hand to face movement.

Information workers can now use their phone, with the front camera pointing towards their face, to guard against these face touches. As their hand moves towards their face, the AI algorithm in the phone detects this movement and vibrates the phone. The app also makes available hints on reducing this face touching behaviour,” reads a statement from Cape.

Cape explained how his vision for the app

The Cornwall Sleep Dentistry For Kids Team (Nick Seebruch/Seaway News).

Winton Cape works at his computer while his smartphone is setup to detect if he touches his face. Submitted photo. came from a discussion with his daughters during a long car ride from Toronto to Cornwall.

He and his daughters were discussing a way to have a positive impact on the COVID-19 pandemic when they thought of FaceGuard.

This is not the first time that Cape has drawn inspiration from his children.

FaceGuard is the second app that he has designed the first, also designed during the pandemic, was made to bring some light to his daughter’s lives during the difficult time of the pandemic.

His first app allowed his daughters to record moments during their day that they found enjoyable, like if their bus waited for them to catch up to their stop, and then look back on those happy moments at the end of the day.

FaceGuard is currently available on the Android store and Cape hopes to have it available on the Apple Store within two weeks.

Cornwall Sleep Dentistry a dream service for parents and kids NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall Sleep Dentistry For Kids offers a unique service in the region aimed at easing stress for parents and kids when they go in for dental procedures while also reducing wait times for much needed dental care.

Cornwall Sleep Dentistry brings in a medical anesthesiologist to their office at the McConnell Medical Centre to help kids who might be nervous or uncomfortable at a dentists office to sleep through their procedures.

“I think it is important to note that the number one reason children end up in operating rooms in Canada is dental,” said Dr. Daniel Hovespian.

Dr. Hovespian explained that parents who want their children to be anesthetized often wind

up going to the hospital to get the procedure done, but wait times at hospitals for such procedures can be over a year long. With COVID-19 straining the demand on hospital care, wait times for non-elective procedures have increased, with many procedures being postponed. At Cornwall Sleep Dentistry, wait times are around one month, with the office seeing approximately 55 patients monthly. Cornwall Sleep Dentistry sees patients who qualify under Ontario’s Healthy Smiles program, making them a more affordable option for parents.

Dr. Hovespian said that he began offering this service at his Ottawa clinic in 2015 and has since begun offering the same service in Cornwall. He says that he receives a lot of appreciation from parents and kids a like.

“They are incredibly grateful,” he said. “It is really touching.”

The Community Fundraising Committee for the Arts & Culture Centre of Cornwall (BE the Link) is still receiving donations for the Arts Centre.

Fundraising chairperson Katie Burke reports that with new donations in December the committee has now raised $1,070,030 for the Arts Centre.

The latest major donation came from Duncan (Charlie) McIntosh and Wade MacLauchlan who donated $5,000. Duncan McIntosh, a native of St. Andrew’s West, has been an accomplished theatre director at four of Canada’s largest theatres and founded the Watermark Theatre in Prince Edward Island in 2008. Ward MacLauchlan is the former Premier of Prince Edward Island.

“The fundraising team thanks them for their generous donation to help make the Arts Centre a reality and is grateful for the support it has received from local residents, businesses, foundations, service clubs, various organizations and the arts community.” Burke stated.

Meanwhile, the fundraising committee continues to contact potential donors and follow up on applications to foundations.

“The Arts & Culture Centre is the missing link that will make our city a full-service, all-amenities community. The Arts Centre will become a hub of artistic activity and presentations for the entertainment and education of all the members of the community from children to seniors.”

“In the pandemic and post-pandemic, we need the Arts & Culture Centre and its programming more than ever for our mental health and well-being. The Arts of music, dance, art, theatre, literature in many forms are the essential elements that help maintain balance in our lives.”

All donation information can be found on www.bethelink.net. Cheques can be made out to the “City of Cornwall Art Trust Fund” and dropped off/mailed to City of Cornwall Finance Department, 100 Water Street East, Suite 104, PO Box 877, Cornwall ON, K6H 5T9.

The 2022 budget is a tough pill NICK SEEBRUCH

6 - Wednesday, January 26, 2022

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

Cornwall City Council is currently in the process of reviewing and finalizing the budget for 2022. This year’s budget will be particularly difficult as there are short term, and long term challenges facing the city financially. In fact, this Council’s last budget will be a stark contrast compared to their first budget in 2019.

That first budget of the current Council in 2019 was completed in an afternoon, with most walking away feeling satisfied. I doubt anyone will walk away at the end of what is sure to be lengthy budget deliberations over the next two weeks feeling any sense of satisfaction.

First let’s start with the numbers. The draft that was presented to Council on Tuesday night calls for a 3.59 per cent increase to the tax levy, or an increase of $2.7 million. The City’s Finance Department has calculated the increase as being about $176 for the average homeowner in Cornwall, for a total average 2022 tax bill of $2,777.

Council will undoubtedly try to cut this down, and I’m sure it will go down, but I don’t think by much. Undoubtedly Council will cut back on a few capital projects (sorry Locomotive #17, you will continue to crumble into dust). There are things however that Council cannot cut that have increased the budget.

Insurance costs are one example of this. Many Ontario municipalities have seen increases to their insurance rates since the start of the pandemic, and Cornwall is no different. This year alone Cornwall’s insurance rates have risen by nearly $250,000.

Council will need to find some savings somewhere as this is the worst time to pile an increase as steep as $176 onto rate payers.

I want Council to keep in mind that on top of businesses and just average residents having to still deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and related loses in business and in some cases wages, this year has also seen steep increases in inflation, which I have discussed in a column last year. In fact, the Bank of Canada has stated that inflation is at its highest point in nearly 30 years, with the cost of goods rising by 4.7 per cent in November 2021 compared to the previous year.

The final challenge that Council will face for this budget will be themselves, I think. This year is a municipal election year. Councillors running for re-election, or higher office, will be tempted to turn this budget into political capital in the coming campaign. They will want to be able to go door-to-door and say “the other guys passed that tax increase this year, but I voted against that budget.”

Last year’s budget saw a relatively

modest increase of $72, yet still saw councillors vote against it. I am all in favour of lower taxes. In a perfect world, taxes would never go up, but the reality of it there are things that we need to spend money on as a community in order to get services that we can’t produce as individuals, like roads, sewer and water, public transportation, as well as public parks, the library, and events; things that make life work living. Let’s not forget also, that there are costs that council can’t cut, like rising insurance rates.

I want my elected officials to put their duty ahead of their political ambitions and I don’t always believe that when a municipal councillor votes against a budget that they are doing so in good faith, but maybe I’m just cynical. If a councillor does not vote for this budget, I will ask that councillor what dollar

value would have been acceptable to them and what specifically they would cut to reach that number. I encourage every voter in Cornwall to do the same when council candidates start knocking on their doors later this year. See what their answers are, if they actually are able to answer specifically what they would’ve cut to vote for the budget, it will certainly raise my opinion of that candidate.

All that being said, I do not envy the position the Council finds itself in.

Saying that you want lower taxes is one thing, but it is a lot harder to know what to cut when you are the one holding the butcher knife.

This is a real grassroots movement of regular Canadians supported by other regular Canadians from all corners of this country.

These people are not protesting Trudeau’s forcing them to be vaccinated; they are standing up to a tyrannical and fascist minority government that tramples our fundamental human rights, and

The truckers are protesting what are fundamentally Crimes against humanity, Vaccine Passports, segregation, bullying and discrimination against minorities.

OPINION

Homelessness and bootlegging circa 1930s Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

Tired of seeing the Pitt Street police station turned into a homeless shelter night-after-night, Police Chief Fred Seymour, in delivering his annual report in January 1934, took a verbal shot at upper level politicians.

“There is something seriously wrong with a country (Canada) which permits its youth to drift into this sort of thing,” the chief said.

The annual report showed that 3,178 homeless males – 60% under the age of 20 – had sought overnight shelter at the police lock-up during the previous 12 months. All were drifters (aka hobos) travelling from city to city, many riding the rails, looking for work that didn’t exist during a dark period called The Great Depression. The men were given a warm breakfast by the Salvation Army before being sent on their way.

In a few cases, the drifters were 14 and 15 years old.

Cornwall and neighbouring townships had bylaws that called for available jobs to be given to local men on welfare rolls with families to support. ********** Smugglers and bootleggers kept local cops busy in 1934.

So, when the local detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) received a tip on Jan. 24 that a load of illegal booze was coming across the frozen St. Lawrence River east of Cornwall by sleigh, Const. Humphries was dispatched to stake out the area.

Within an hour he spotted a sleigh

approaching the bank at Anderson’s Ferry Landing (across from what is now Glen-Stor-Dun Lodge). He stopped the sleigh and upon inspection discovered several 25-gallon tins of what appeared to be alcohol under a blanket. He placed the driver under arrest, positioned himself beside the driver and ordered him to head for the township police station.

When the sleigh stopped at a Montreal Road intersection, the driver/suspect jumped off and made a run for it.

Three shots fired over the man’s head failed to stop him. He was never seen again.

Smuggling cheap illicit alcohol from Quebec and New York State was a thriving enterprise in the 1930s. One smuggler told the Standard-Freeholder at the time that there was so much money to be made, and the chances of getting caught so small, the profit on a single load was more than double the fine.

Among the biggest destinations for the smuggled booze were a slew of mom and pop bootlegging enterprises that operated out of homes, many of them in the east end. One of the more famous ones was operated by a blind man, simply referred to as the “blind bootlegger”.

It was said that a prominent east-end hotel owner operated a unique mobile bootlegging operation from his place of business, a hotel and funeral home. A baby carriage was used to make deliveries of illegal hooch to east end customers.

Outside the city, Bonville was a bootlegging mecca.

ODDS’N’ENDS CIRCA 1934 Cornwall was gearing up for three major summer celebrations. The city would celebrate the 100th anniversary of becoming a police village, the official opening of

Roosevelt Bridge, the first bridge built over the St. Lawrence River, and the 100th anniversary of the start of Cornwall Canal. ... The Victoria Roller Skating Rink on Pitt Street – between Second and Third streets – was busy. Admission was 15 cents. Skates could be rented for 10 cents.

SEEN AND HEARD New Democratic Party federal leader Jagmeet Singh is a pretty smart guy. He’s got a law degree (apparently, that makes one smart) and is not a political neophyte. He’s been in federal politics since 2017 and before that in provincial politics. And while you won’t find his name on the Forbes list, he isn’t need of a tag day. So, it is hard to accept his flimsy excuse that he didn’t know it was wrong/illegal/unethical to accept a free rocking chair worth $1,900 (plus tax) from a Canadian manufacturer in return for a social media plug. He has apologized (of course) and has anted up a cheque to cover the cost of the rocker.

It should be noted that the leader of the workers’ party didn’t realize the “error” until a media outlet broke the story.

Otherwise, he would have kept on rockin’.

‘ROUND AND ‘BOUT – In its annual list of the top 100 powerbrokers and influencers in hockey, The Hockey News has pegged former Royals’ defenceman Matt Schneider No. 24. He works as the assistant to National Hockey League Players Association (NHLPA) president Don Fehr. ... The rumour-mongers are at it again with the worn-out baseless claim that the city has a secret plan to sell the Legion ball fields to a developer. The source of the untruth skips over the fact the city does not own the land. It is owned by the feds and leased to the city who lease it to the legion for use as a

minor baseball complex. The lease – which has something like 50 years left – contains a clause that it can’t be used for anything other than recreation.

THE COVID FILE Several months ago music legend Meat Loaf, an anti-vaxxer, said he would rather die than be vaccinated against COVID. He died last week of COVID. The virus attacked his lungs. A family member said he literally choked to death. His family has urged his fans to get vaccinated. ... A well-known Czech folk singer, Hana Horka, died of COVID last week after she purposely contracted the virus so that she would receive a recovery pass from the Czech ministry of health rather than be vaccinated against the virus. Czech citizens have two options for admission to public settings: Proof of vaccination or proof of recovery. Other members of the family are fully vaccinated. The family hopes her story will encourage others to get vaccinated. ...

Last week Cornwall Community Hospital said it was treating 48 COVID patients.

The ICU was half full with seriously ill COVID patients. And in the Eastern Ontario Health Unit district, COVID deaths so far this month have climbed to 149 from 134. Are there still people out there who believe this is no worse than the annual flu?

TRIVIA ANSWER Bob Keeshan played Buffalo Bob in Capt. Kangaroo which ran from 1955-1984.

TRIVIA Which of these is Ontario’s longest serving premier: 1) Lesley Frost, 2) Bill Davis, 3) James Whitney, 4) Oliver Mowat, 5) John Robarts.

QUOTED – “Money won’t buy happiness, but it will pay the salaries of a large research staff to study the problem.”

Cornwall Transit reçoit un financement de 680,000$ provenant de la taxe provinciale sur l’essence NICK LAURIN CORNWALL, Ontario - Le député provincial de Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry, Jim McDonell, a annoncé que Cornwall Transit recevra un financement de 630,358$ dans le cadre du programme provincial de la taxe sur l’essence.

Le fonds de la taxe sur l’essence est recueilli par la vente d’essence dans la province chaque année et les municipalités offrant des services de transport en commun reçoivent deux cents par litre des rev-

enus de la taxe sur l’essence.

«Notre gouvernement sait qu’il est plus important que jamais de soutenir les systèmes de transport en commun alors que les collectivités luttent pour maintenir les niveaux de service pendant le COVID-19», a déclaré Jim McDonell, député provincial de Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry. «C’est pourquoi nous avons complété le financement de taxe sur l’essence de cette année pour compenser la réduction des ventes à la pompe.»

La province a complété le fonds de la taxe sur l’essence cette année avec 120,4 millions de dollars supplémentaires en raison d’une perte de revenue liée à la pandémie de COVID-19.

«Tout au long de la pandémie de COVID19, nous avons constaté à quel point le transport en commun est essentiel pour les travailleurs de première ligne et pour les Ontariens qui dépendent de ces services pour se rendre à leurs rendez-vous médicaux, à l’épicerie et à d’autres endroits

importants», a déclaré Caroline Mulroney, ministre des Transports. «Le financement de la taxe sur l’essence demeure une source vitale de financement à long terme du transport en commun sur laquelle les municipalités peuvent compter pour contribuer à l’exploitation et à l’expansion des services de transport en commun existants - ce qui garantit que les gens ont accès à un transport sûr et fiable lorsqu’ils en ont besoin.»

Le conseil d’administration de la RRCA élit un nouveau président et un nouveau vice-présidentprovinciale sur l’essence

10 - Le mercredi 26 janvier, 2022

- Cornwall Express - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

NICK LAURIN Un nouveau président et un nouveau viceprésident ont été élus lors de l’assemblée annuelle de Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA), qui s’est tenue virutellement le 20 janvier 2022.

Martin Lang, conseiller du canton de Glengarry Sud, a été élu par acclamation au poste de président et David Smith, maire adjoint du canton de Stormont Sud, a été élu par acclamation au poste de vice-président.

«Merci de me faire confiance pour faire ce travail», a déclaré le président Martin Lang.

En tant qu’agriculteur local très respecté, Lang a également servi sa communauté de Glengarry Sud depuis son élection au conseil municipal en 2018. Ses rapports avec la communauté agricole locale sont un atout important pour l’RRCA, car la majorité de la juridiction du Raisin Region Conservation Authority est constituée de propriétés agricoles.

M. Lang succède au maire de South Stormont Bryan McGillis, au poste de président.

«Bryan a fait beaucoup (au cours des deux dernières années)», a déclaré M. Lang

qui a salué le leadership de l’ancien président pendant la pandémie de COVID19. «Nous étions très heureux de l’avoir à nos côtés».

Le vice-président David Smith fait partie du conseil d’administration de l’RRCA depuis sept ans.

«J’ai observé et appris et je suis heureux d’occuper ce siège», a déclaré M. Smith, tout en remerciant ses collègues du conseil.

Le conseil d’administration de la RRCA, composé de huit membres, comprend des représentants de ses cinq municipalités membres: la ville de Cornwall et les cantons de Glengarry Sud, Glengarry Nord, Stormont Sud et Stormont Nord. Le conseil d’administration supervise le budget, les programmes et les services de l’RRCA. Depuis 1963, la RRCA protège les personnes, les biens et l’environnement par le biais de programmes et de services mandatés par la province et par le conseil de la RRCA. «Sous la direction du conseil, la RRCA offre à la communauté des services axés sur les bassins versants», a déclaré le directeur général de la RRCA, Richard Pilon.

Le directeur du RRCA, Martin Lang (à gauche) et le vice-directeur, David Smith, ont été élus par le conseil d’administration du RRCA le 20 janvier 2022.

«Ces services comprennent, entre autres, la lutte contre les inondations et l’intervention en cas de basses eaux, l’orientation du développement durable, la surveillance de la qualité de l’eau, ainsi que la protection et la mise en valeur des terres importantes sur le plan environnemental.»

La RRCA se réjouit de ses initiatives prévues pour 2022. Le personnel se prépare à commencer à planter 65 000 arbres à

travers Cornwall et les environs de SDG ce printemps. Les aires de conservation de l’RRCA sont également prêtes à accueillir les plaisanciers à la marina de Gray’s Creek, qui ouvrira le 1er mai, et les campeurs au parc Charlottenburgh, qui ouvrira le 20 mai.

Pour de plus amples renseignements, veuillez consulter le site web de la RRCA à rrca.on.ca, ou communiquer avec le (613) 938-3811 ou info@rrca.on.ca.

Le comité de recrutement des médecins rencontre le ministère de la santé

NICK LAURIN

Le 24 janvier 2022, le comité de recrutement de médecins conjoints de South Dundas et South Stormont a tenu une réunion avec le ministère de la Santé, dans le cadre de la conférence annuelle du Rural Ontario Municipal Association (ROMA) Depuis 2020, South Dundas et South Stormont s’efforcent d’attirer davantage de médecins dans leurs communautés «Nous avons besoin que la communauté médicale comprenne ce que nous savons depuis un certain temps à SDG: que nous avons besoin de médecins pour servir nos communautés.», a déclaré le maire Bryan McGillis de South Stormont. «Les données

recueillies dans le cadre de ce sondage serviront à présenter une analyse de rentabilisation viable aux médecins et aux praticiens qui cherchent à établir, à étendre ou à re-localiser leur pratique médicale dans une grande communauté dont le besoin est démontré.»

Les efforts du comité ont permis de recruter deux nouveaux médecins pour soutenir la communauté. Cependant, avec le départ à la retraite de médecins et les besoins toujours croissants, le comité a besoin du soutien des niveaux supérieurs du gouvernement.

Au cours de la réunion, la porte-parole du comité, la maire adjointe de South Dundas,

Kristen Gardner, a souligné les principaux problèmes auxquels les deux communautés sont confrontées. Le Comité a demandé au ministère de soutenir davantage les efforts de recrutement de médecins, l’égalité des chances en matière de soins de santé dans les zones rurales et un système de soins de santé plus inclusif qui offre des services spécialisés plus près du domicile.

«Mais nous avons également besoin d’être entendus et soutenus par nos partenaires provinciaux et c’est ce que nous visons à atteindre aujourd’hui. Les résidents des communautés rurales méritent une égalité des chances dans l’éventail des soins de santé», a déclaré Mme Gardner.

«L’accès aux soins de santé est depuis longtemps un problème dans notre région et à mesure que nos communautés continuent de croître, nous devons faire des progrès pour améliorer les services de santé que reçoivent nos résidents», a ajouté le maire de South Stormont, Bryan McGillis.

«Pour y parvenir efficacement, nous avons besoin d’un soutien supplémentaire de la par t de tous les niveaux de gouvernement.»

L’objectif du comité est que la province montre son soutien et s’engage à devenir un acteur du recrutement des médecins ruraux et de l’avancement des soins de santé en milieu rural.

I am humbled by the kind words, phone calls, emails and support I received from many residents since being appointed Mayor of South Glengarry.

South Glengarry has big plans in 2022. We have approved our 2022 budget and there are some exciting big projects to watch out for.

This includes our Recreation Master Plan, numerous road projects and participation in the Rural Educational Symposium.

I encourage resident to get out and enjoy the great outdoors during this recent cold snap to enjoy our outdoor rinks and our vari-

ous nature trails.

Your South Glengarry Council continues to monitor this and are ready to assist in anyway possible.

Lastly, I am very excited to start working with newly appointed Council member Rebecca Luck. I look forward to new ideas and renewed interest in keeping our Municipality great.

I look forward to serving you this year. My wish is for all of us to be able to enjoy all the things South Glengarry has to offer.

CORNWALL, Ontario – On January 24, 2022, the Council of the City of Cornwall met with Chief Building Official, Charles Bray to discuss the Adequate and Suitable Heat By-law. This By-law serves to protect residents in rental accommodations from unhealthy living conditions, as a result of the lack of heat in their rental unit.

“I can’t imagine going without heat in this kind of weather. We have a humanitarian responsibility to look out for these people”, said Councillor McIntosh.

Currently it takes 14 days, plus 5 days for service before an officer can act on an order under the Property Standards By-law to address any complaints of defective heating appliances.

Councillor McIntosh asked about the time difference between this by-law compared to ordinary property standards.

“The way it would work as a property standards matter, is there’s 14 days, plus we have to allow 5 days for service”, said Charles Bray “It’s not an appropriate method when dealing with heat. That’s why there is a provision in the

If the order is not complete, the officer is permitted to solve the problem, at the owner’s/ landlord’s expense.

Fabric softeners are waxy materials that are related to soap.

They work by coating your laundry with waxy lubricants and humectant chemicals.

The lubricants let fibers slide past each other, reducing wrinkling.They also separate a napped fabric’s fibers and stand them on end, which makes a towel, for instance, feel fluffy. The humectancts help the fabric retain moisture to dissipate the static charges that would otherwise cause clothes to cling and sparks to fly when you pull them apart.

There are three basic types of fabric softeners.

RINSE liquids are added to the wash during the rinse cycle.

DRYER SHEETS are absorbed with softener. When you put a sheet into the dryer along with the laundry, contact and heat release the softener.

DETERGENTS with FABRIC softeners are added at the start of the wash cycle.

The most effective is liquid softeners but DRYER SHEETS soften to roughly the same degree and detergents with fabric softener is the lesser of the two.

Standing, in Peace.

We’re all well aware of the importance of good footwear for different purposes. There are dress shoes, work shoes, athletic shoes, and slippers! Different types of shoes serve different purposes, especially in the winter! In the Bible book of Ephesians, chapter 6 there’s a description of how when someone trusts in God and his power, they are spiritually prepared. It’s like putting on new clothes. Using the image of a soldier in that era, sturdy footwear was important equipment. Their boots were tough and cleated like soccer shoes. They gave traction, helping the soldier stand his ground. “Stand firm then… with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.”

Part of our preparation for life’s battles is having our feet outfitted with the gospel of peace. Yes, this can enable us to stand firm in life. There are two qualities of this peace. The first is peace with God. The Bible says we can each “have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” We can personally experience peace with God. He will be 100% for us, in our corner. We will enjoy friendship with Him. The second aspect, is experiencing the peace of

The United Counties of SD&G will be holding their symposium on rural education on Thursday, Feb. 3. Visit sdgcounties.ca for more information on how to view the symposium.

Thank you Editor Nick Seebruch for your very timely column “Things left undone” and the stirring tribute to the late Bob Turner and bringing back all the memories of him. The council of the day saw fit to memorialize bob with the Bob Turner Memorial Arena, then it was demolished in 2014. It is time this council restore a lasting and fitting memorial which is so long overdue. We also need to remember his wife Doris who did so much for the disabled. They both exemplified what a difference one person can make. I was blessed with knowing them both. LET’S GET IT DONE! - Doe Dube

God “which surpasses all understanding, and will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

(Philippians 4:7). Not only can we have peace with God, but we also experience the peace of God. This means we can experience His peace even in our most challenging circumstances. The peace of God enables us to have a calm, assured confidence that will enable us to handle any situation. We are trusting that he is in control.

When difficult circumstances come, it isn’t unusual for people to start to fall apart. Maybe even get a little hysterical. You might say to such a person, “Get a grip!” Well, how can someone get a grip if they’re slipping and sliding around? Knowing God personally gives us real peace and something to stand on. You’ve got some grip.

God designed us to be firmly planted or footed in him. Jesus’ message is where we get our traction to stand strong. In the book of Matthew, chapter 7, Jesus spoke of building a house on sand or on the rock. We are to build our lives on the rock of Jesus.

That’s some good footing!

There seems to be a lot of homes for rent in the Cornwall rental market and very few apartments for single individuals. Are investment companies buying up all of these homes and putting them up for rent? If so, I feel they are making the affordable housing and the rental market in Cornwall worse, but that’s greed for you.

Omicron Variant Affecting High-Risk and Unvaccinated Individuals at CCH PROVIDED BY THE CORNWALL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL CORNWALL, Ontario - Although reports have indicated that the Omicron variant appears to be milder than previous strains of COVID-19, the experience on the frontlines at Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) tells a different story with certain population groups.

At CCH, COVID-19 is sickening greater numbers of elderly patients, the immunocompromised and medically fragile, and patients with an underlying condition worsened by the virus.

Of the 43 patients in hospital with COVID-19 as of January 24, the vast majority are in the hospital’s medical wards, meaning they are not

critically ill but still require hospital treatment for their illness.

Dr. Lorne Scharf, Chief of Staff and Emergency Physician at CCH, says that the majority of vaccinated patients requiring hospitalization are older and have other chronic illnesses.

“We’re primarily observing severe illness in two types of patients at this point: unvaccinated patients and immunocompromised patients,” said Dr. Scharf. “Which makes sense given the large number of aging individuals with comorbidities in our community,” he adds.

The majority of COVID-19 patients in hospital at CCH and throughout the province are fully

vaccinated, but Dr. Scharf says it doesn’t mean that the vaccines aren’t working.

“Naturally the majority of our patients will be vaccinated because the majority of the population is vaccinated. However, it is very rare that a vaccinated, relatively young and healthy individual is winding up in hospital with COVID-19, especially the intensive care unit,” he explains.

Omicron is also extremely contagious as evidenced by the large number of staff unable to work due to catching the virus; as of January 24, that number is 40. This is putting increased strain on frontline staff particularly on medical wards where the majority of the patients are Nurses caring for a COVID patient on the Medicine Unit at CCH.
