Let the City help you cool off during the summer Francis Racine

It’s a Fact!

CITY OF CORNWALL

Nothing says summer quite like a nice day of sunshine. With that being said, it’s very important to know how to properly cool off when dealing with 30 C and above weather.

The City of Cornwall offers several different ways in which you can safely cool down. Chief among them are outdoor pools. Did you know

that there are five of them — St. Francis, Terry Fox, St. Joseph, Reg Campbell and Mattice.

All of them officially opened last month and can welcome a maximum of 75 swimmers.

Swimming lessons are offered at all the pools from Mondays to Fridays, from 10 am to 12:30 pm. These lessons will be operated in the following two sessions — July 25 to August 5 and August 8 to August 19.

To register, please visit https://cityofcornwall.perfectmind.com/.

Free public swims are also available, from 1pm to 2:45pm, from Mondays to Fridays at

all pools.

Swimmers are reminded that they must shower before entering a pool. Anyone who is feeling sick must stay at home and not attend a public facility.

Local kids can also enjoy one of three splash pads across the city — Lamoureux Park, St. Theresa Park and Riverdale Park.

What’s more, each splash pad is also home to washroom facilities.

If you happen to want to be in the water but not in the sun, there’s another option for you — the Cornwall Aquatic Centre.

The facility offers several different types of

swims — Early Bird, Adult/Senior, Fitness, Preschool, Rehab, Leisure, and Family.

To view swim schedules, please visit the City’s website at cornwall.ca. All swim sessions at the Cornwall Aquatic Centre must be booked online or by calling 613-933-3586.

There are also other ways that you can keep cool without even dipping one toe in water. The Benson Centre is open for leisure walks from Monday to Sunday, 7 am to 11 pm.

The Cornwall Civic Complex arena promenade is also open for walkers daily from 7 am to 9 pm.

attitudes of people regarding mental health/ illness. Over the past 2 years CMHA relied on this very powerful platform to help sensitize/ educate and support people’s mental health as we navigated the challenges of the pandemic. On behalf of CMHA Champlain East we thank you for the ongoing coverage of mental health awareness/education. You- our media partners have prioritized mental health throughout the pandemic by providing (space) to publish “Mental Health Matters” articles, provide opportunities to promote events and awareness campaigns; share events on your Facebook channels and provide reporter’s/ producers to attend in -person events for local coverage. These partnerships in both SDG/PR have allowed us to reach a broader audience and redirect people to our agency for information and services. Thousands of people have been reached each month both

in print and online thanks to your support.

The impact this may have had on our community cannot be measured. A special focus on Farmer’s Mental Health in 2021 was a new initiative for the CMHA branch and we are grateful for the support from Agricom, Agrinews and Farmers Forum as this is a niche audience that we as a branch were hoping to reach. In addition, we have published articles in the Indian Time (Akwesasne) broadening our relationship with our indigenous community. We have currently 12 active media outlets publishing mental health articles and news. I would like to acknowledge each of your contributions to our community in a time of great need. Everyone please join me in recognition of this year’s Annual Mental Health Service Award recipients. Submitted

by Angele d’Alessio.

Seaway News accepts award This year’s ANNUAL MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE AWARD was presented to Seaway News and others as a group of local media groups in recognition of the commitment and significant contributions made to the mental health movement in the community.

Seaway News Publisher Rick Shaver accepted for SN and his staff. “It’s great to receive such an unexpected award,” says Shaver. We offer space to Angele to let her share information that helps inform and educate people about mental health/issues, so for her and CHMA to recognize us is truly unexpected”. We will continue to support and bring her message to over 34,000 homes in Cornwall and SDG weekly.

Remember, it’s never too late to quit.

5. MAINTAIN A HEALTHY BODY WEIGHT: Being overweight can significantly increase your risk of high blood pressure because it forces your heart to work hard to pump blood through your body. Consequently, maintaining a healthy weight can help keep your blood pressure under control.

If you want to make changes to your diet or start a new exercise routine, be sure to talk to your doctor first.

As you get older, your blood pressure may become difficult to control. High blood pressure is especially dangerous because you can have it for years without knowing. Unfortunately, this health condition can lead to stroke, heart disease, kidney failure and many other issues. Here are five things you can do to maintain healthy blood pressure as you age.

1. EXERCISE REGULARLY: Routinely engaging in low-impact activities, such as walking and swimming, can lower your risk of high blood pressure. It’s therefore recommended that you engage in moderate exercise for at least 150 minutes every week.

2. EAT A WELL-BALANCED DIET: Eating plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains can help control your blood pressure. In particular, foods that are rich in potassium, calcium and magnesium have been shown to decrease elevated blood pressure.

3. REDUCE YOUR SODIUM INTAKE: Eating too much salty food can cause your body to retain fluid, which can raise your blood pressure and force your heart to work harder. Therefore, monitoring your sodium intake can help keep your blood pressure in check.

4. QUIT SMOKING: Smoking can put you at an increased risk for high blood pressure. The

5 ways to prevent high blood pressure

River Institute receives $100,000 grant from RBC Foundation The River Institute is pleased to announce a grant of $100,000 from the RBC Tech for Nature Fund to support the Great River Rapport project. Channelle Martel, Assistant Branch Manager at RBC, Cornwall main branch, and Ryan Smith, Regional Vice President of Eastern Ontario, were at the River Institute today to make the presentation. The grant supports the Great River Rapport – an ecosystem health report on the Upper St. Lawrence River.

The Great River Rapport is a science-based project assessing the status and health of the Upper St. Lawrence River. This multi-partner project uses data-centric technologies and online tools to improve our understanding of ecosystem health and motivate action.

Inspired by the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address (Ohèn:ton Karihwatéhkwen), the Great River Rapport relies on a strong partnership with the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne to guide its development. Over the next year, the River Institute will work with Indigenous

partners, scientists, educators, communities, and students to share important information about the river through stories, art, educational programs, and community engagement.

Dr. Leigh McGaughey is the lead scientist for the Great River Rapport project. “Since it began, the Great River Rapport project has grown beyond our expectations,” says Dr. McGaughey. “Over 2,500 volunteers, scientists, students, and citizens have participated, and we continue to find innovative ways to engage people from diverse backgrounds in environmental science. We are grateful to RBC for their ongoing support, and look forward to sharing discoveries about the changing ecosystem with everyone.”

In its initial stages, the Great River Rapport led a series of community workshops and surveys to identify a set of ecosystem health indicators representing the issues that matter the most to the public. The project is now working collaboratively to assess the status of these indicators as they respond to pressures like

invasive species and climate change. This work will help guide future research, rehabilitation, and restoration efforts. The Great River Rapport also offers opportunities for people to learn and engage via community events and web-based technologies, including an interactive website, videos, workshops, downloadable educational resources, data access portals, and citizen science initiatives. Learn more about the project here: www.riverrapport. ca.

“We all have one thing in common – our love of this Great River. Our commitment to protect it, to learn from it. It’s a responsibility we share with community leaders, citizens and local organizations like the River Institute,” said Ryan Smith, RBC Regional Vice-President, Eastern Ontario for Personal and Commercial Banking. “That’s why it’s so exciting to partner with River Institute and the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne, along with many experts and local leaders on the Great River Rapport, which assesses the health of the beautiful St.

Lawrence River.”

RBC Foundation through RBC Tech for Nature supports initiatives tackling the pressing environmental challenges of our times by leveraging technology, developing innovative solutions and building multi-sector partnerships.

The River Institute was established in 1994 as a unique community partnership involving the City of Cornwall, government, education, business and industry, and the Mohawks of Akwesasne. Its mandate is environmental research and education with a focus on the Great Lakes / St. Lawrence River ecosystem. As a non-profit charitable organization, the River Institute raises its own funds for all essential costs, including salaries, administration, overhead, and operations. Grants, sponsorships, and donations provide specific funding for research and special projects, together with unrestricted contributions from individual donors and River Champions.

The public needs updates Cornwall’s waterfront is, arguably, our greatest asset. Lamoureux Park is the centrepiece of our waterfront, drawing crowds for the annual July 1 celebrations and other events that bring Cornwall together.

The recreation path snakes along the shores of the St. Lawrence River, and property developers are working to fill in the gaps.

But one has to ask how well some of these private projects are progressing.

Take for example the Cotton Mill District.

While it’s clear the work done to improve this area of our city is an incredible example of how private developers can take brownfield sites and turn them into high-value dwellings, it’s still not done.

The Bell Tower component of the Cotton Mill District is not complete, despite claims that occupancy would begin last year.

RMP Construction, on its website, lists the Bell Tower as available for occupancy in 2021. Presumably COVID has impacted the ability to finish this project on time.

But those looking to take ownership of their condos remain in the dark.

It has been a few years since construction of the project began, but one individual impacted by the delays who reached out to us suggests there has been little in the way of updates on a move-in date.

“We sold our home last fall (and were) given a move-in date of December 2021 based on information from the Condo group. We have had to find rental space and are still in limbo as to when or if the project will be completed,” says this

individual.

Yikes.

Perhaps now is a good time for a public update on the status of this particular project. While RMP is a private firm and has no obligation to update the general public on the comings and goings of all its projects, this case is just a bit different.

Cornwall, in general, has a vested interest in how its waterfront is being developed. We are all there to celebrate the successes that have taken place (check out our previous coverage of positive developments within the Cotton Mill District). But in cases where things appear to be languishing, we have an obligation to start asking questions.

The same can be said of the former Domtar lands, where two smokestacks still stand post 16 years after the papermill closed its doors. Children born when the mill closed are now getting their learners permits, and yet the smokestacks remain.

Once again, there has been no public disclosure from property owners about what is to be done about the smokestacks. You’ll recall there was a great idea (16 years ago) to sell tickets to a draw.

The lucky ticket owner would be the one to push the button that would send a signal to demolish the stacks via explosives.

Delays are inevitable in large-scale construction/demolitions projects. We respect that. But obviously occupancy at the Bell Tower didn’t happen in 2021 – and 16 years is just way too long to keep looking at those smokestacks.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, Spending 3 minutes to read Mayor Grant’s column about Cornwall’s speeding issues was a complete waste of time. Asking law-breaking motorists to explain why they are in such a hurry, or requesting that they consider the possible outcomes of their selfish behaviour, makes me doubt that anything will be done to solve such this overtly obvious issue.

Traffic-calming devices, or yellow uprights in school zones, are only found in a few locations.

Police presence - such as having officers with radar guns - is something that I have yet to see in the 8 years I have lived in Cornwall.

An anecdotal observation, I know, but it is supported by friends and neighbours.

What additional data do we need to stop

speeders? I don’t understand. Isn’t driving at 70kph (or more) in a 50kph zone, or drag racing through residential neighbourhoods not providing enough data?

And while we’re on the topic of speeders, many are also responsible for disturbing the peace as they push hard on the throttle to produce the most noise possible from their “notice me” mufflers as they tear down the street.

There are known solutions: photo radar, and reverting 2-lane one-way streets back to two-way streets. Both have been proven to change drivers’ attitudes.

If the mayor needs data, I’ll offer him a coffee and a lawn chair in my front yard, and he can witness for himself the antics that the Sydney Street Speedway has to offer.

A new environment Nick Wolochatiuk

DANCES WITH WORDS NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

We are immersed in an environment that consists of sounds, odours, sights - and all kinds of other stuff.

About a month ago we all went from a buttoned-up house to an opened patio door. That led to all sorts of new sounds: someone is using a too-small mower on grass that is too tall: chug, chug…silence, then pull, pull, pull on the starter cord. If the wind is from the north, the distant passage of the freight trains and the occasional VIA Rail unit and the 18-wheelers on the 401. I can tell by the clackety, thunk, clack…which boxcar has an out-of-round wheel. The truck with aggressive tread on its tires has the distinctive sound of a swarm of bees.

Aviation being one of my passions, the overflight of aircraft piques my curiosity. I can easily differentiate between the smooth Allison turboprops of a C-130 and the higher-pitch ones of a Dash-8; the thump, thump thump of the rotor blades of a Griffon helicopter.

I can easily identify the several varieties of creatures that thrive on our deck’s feeding stations: the cooing of the doves; the excited high-pitched peep-peep of the chickadees.

The little red squirrel’s angry chattering is his way of making up for his lack of brawn. Only our crows are able to carry on a conversation with us. Some of their comical utterings end in a question mark, others with an exclamation point.

As of June 29, I’ve been receiving treatment in Ottawa General Hospital. Its sixth-floor sealed windows exclude all familiar sounds I’ve enjoyed. There’s a periodic cacophony of alarm bells and urgent calls from helpless patients needing assistance. The hum of the

SO COMMUNICATIVE! – If I’m late with their treats, I’m quickly advised by our band of crows. They manage to communicate not just with each other, but with us!

central HVAC has replaced the gentle clatter of maple leaves. I’ve learned to recognize each staff’s footsteps. Only one is wearing hard-soled shoes. The meal deliverers have a distinctive linearity to their course. One attendant’s soles must be as thick as two Cornwall phone books. The sound of doctors’

footsteps is imperceptible. I think they approach the bedside of their patients to observe and make a preliminary diagnosis in silence.

I won’t tell you the sounds I utter when my leg is in any way touched or wrenched. Even a pool hall gathering would be taken aback.

OPINION

Lake contains former premier’s remains Claude McIntosh

MAC’S MUSINGS

INFO@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

While officiating at the July, 1958 opening of the new St. Lawrence Valley Union Cemetery between the new towns of Long Sault and Ingleside, Ontario Premier Leslie Frost mentioned that the bodies of many pioneers remained below the new lake.

What Frost didn’t know was that a former premier of Ontario rested in one of the water-covered graves, said to number in the hundreds.

James Pliny Whitney, the Williamsburg Township lawyer who became the sixth premier of Ontario, and the only premier to die in office (1914), might be the only Canadian politician buried at the bottom of a lake.

It wasn’t a case of the graves being overlooked. Like many families, the Whitneys decided to leave their kin in the graveyard near Morrisburg that was flooded to create Lake St. Lawrence. Just the gravestone were moved.

In fact, some members of the clergy urged families not to disturb the graves of their loved ones and to just move the grave stones.

(On a personal note: The remains of my grandparents are at the bottom of the lake.

Just the headstone was moved to the Union Cemetery).

An estimate 5,000 graves in dozens of graveyards were flooded to create the lake.

It was the greatest flood since Noah set sail.

As 100 ships waited their turn on July 4, 1958. many of them carrying the American flag, Allan Cutt, a native of Wales and

resident of Ingleside, captained the first ship through the new Snell and Eisenhower Locks on the U.S. side of the Seaway. The Canadian registered Humberdoc was transporting 2,000 tons of newsprint to Chicago. The crew also included Chief Engineer David Ford Sr. of Cornwall and Ronald McLean of Morrisburg.

The provincial government on July 12, 1958 put its stamp of approval on the purchase of Charlottenburgh Park from the township for $50,000.

The park would be rebranded Charlottenburgh Provincial Park and would come under control of the new St. Lawrence Parks Commission.

Described as one of the most scenic parks along the St. Lawrence River, the 233-acre property was purchased by the township from the Fraser family in 1951. It paid $40,000. At the time, it included a large marsh and forest with the park taking up 3.5 acres.

The property was part of a 6,000-acre land grant given to Sir John Johnson by King George III. Decades later, the Fraser family occupied a large piece of the land grant.

One of the founders of St. Joseph’s Training Centre (for boys) in Alfred, east of Ottawa, on July 20, 1958 told a Cornwall service club that one of the goals of the institution staffed by a religious order brothers was to instil discipline and a good work ethic.

Brother Urban said in most cases, derelict parents were to blame for their child being sent to the institution by the juvenile court system.

On a positive note, he claimed most of the young offenders under the brothers’ care were well treated and went on to

become good citizens.

Of course, it was a big lie.

Decades later the institution was shut down after stories of sadistic sexual abuse by the brothers surfaced.

ALSO THIS MONTH IN 1958 – Cities Service was expanding its gas station network in Ontario with 58 new dealers, four of them in Cornwall: Racine’s, 11th and McConnell; R. Major, Highway 2 and 11th; D. Campbell, Eamer’s Corners; and Milton Matheson, Long Sault. ... A landmark at the foot of Pitt Street for 44 years, the Canadian Steamship Lines warehouse closed. The Seaway was diverting traffic from Cornwall Canal. ... The country’s oldest train – The Moccasin – would make its last run between Montreal and Brockville on Aug. 9. CNR said the line was no longer profitable. It was the quintessential “milk run” with numerous stops, among them Riviere Beaudette, Bainsville, Lancaster, Cornwall, Long Sault, Ingleside, Morrisburg and Iroquois. ... Cornwall native and former Stormont MP Lionel Chevrier, MP for Laurier, said the Diefenbaker government should pick up the cost of establishing an airport in Cornwall. Dief wondered why Chevrier wasn’t suggesting that when he was representing the riding. ... A Cornwall resident was home after being held for six days by Cuban rebels led by Fidel Castro.

Edward Cannon was working for a North American company in Cuba when the revolutionaries took him prisoner and held him at a mountain camp. He told the media that he had been well-treated by the rebels. ... The new man-made Lake St. Lawrence claimed its first two drowning victims.

Divers recovered the bodies of the 23-yearold man and 18-year-old woman, both Cornwall residents, in 10 feet of water six

miles west of Cornwall.

TRIVIA ANSWER Two choices: Ron Martelle and Bob Kilger both worked as a playground supervisors when they were young students at St. Lawrence High School.

TRIVIA In the 1950s and 60s, he was the beloved theatre cop at the Palace, logging time during the Saturday morning kids’ shows.

THIS AND THAT Who thought a few months ago that $1.78.9 a litre would be a bargain. .... Latest shortage: qualified lifeguards. ... When he was working the booth at U.S. customs, my old pal Bob Johnson (retired U.S. Army major) loved to work on Canada Day. His opening line when a car with Canadian plates pulled up was, “Well, where (in the U.S.) are you patriotic Canadians headed?” His parents were from the Brockville area. ... StandardFreeholder dodged the PostMedia bullet in latest round of slash and burn. Only cut was the weekly comp. A company-wide hiring freeze remains, for now, at most papers. ... U.S. Supreme Court got it all wrong on the Roe vs Wade decision.

Should have made the call in January or February. Protesters don’t take to the streets in northern states during the coldest months of the year. ... First Black female (long overdue) appointed to the Supreme Court. That must have the old segregationists rolling in their graves. .. . If the Conservatives turn the leadership reins over to Pierre Poilievre they will have their most eloquent orator since John Diefenbaker. ... New York Rangers selected Zakary Karpa in last week’s draft. His father Dave played a season in Cornwall with the AHL Aces before a 12-season NHL career.

Letters to the Editor: info@seawaynews.media Open letter to Premier Doug Ford from United Ways across Ontario current crisis of affordability.

“The alarm around the urgency of this crisis in our region has been sounding for months, if not years. A crisis that sees individuals sleeping outdoors on park benches every night in Cornwall, a crisis that has parents loosing access to their children because affordable and adequate housing options cannot to be found in our region, and a crisis that pushes too many individuals so far into despair that mental health issues and addictions take a deep hold. It is only through unified efforts to work with governments, corporations, institutions, donors, and non profits right here in our region, but also across the province, that we have any chance to react to this crisis nimbly, and with the impact that is required to save lives.” - said Juliette Labossière, Executive Director of UWC SDG Since the beginning of shutdowns and still today, Ontario’s United Ways have been working with elected leaders, integrating networks

of agencies and cross-sector partnerships to identify priorities, escalate concerns and share resources to support those most disproportionately impacted by poverty — Indigenous, Black or racialized peoples, people with disabilities, those living in low-income neighbourhoods, 2SLGBTQ+ people, women, newcomers, seniors, and people experiencing homelessness.

Frontline partners at agencies funded by United Ways across the province are reporting record- high numbers of community members needing supports, and an increasing complexity of issues facing both urban and rural communities. In addition to meeting basic needs, public policy changes are necessary to address unaffordable housing, lowwage jobs, precarious employment, and mental health challenges to counteract the deepening poverty across the province. The leaders also warn that growing anti-Indigenous, anti-Black, and anti-Asian hate and

Islamophobia further widens the poverty gaps and calls for concerted effort to build more inclusive communities.

United Ways across Ontario acknowledged positive steps made by the government through specific public policy like the Homelessness Prevention Program and the $13.2 billion dollar child-care agreement with the federal government but encourage Premier Ford and Ministers to do more. The letter recommends specific action such as expanding affordable housing options, establishing a living wage, hiring more addictions and mental health workers, improving access to services and initiatives focused on underserved, equity-deserving communities, and to work with the community services sector in a united way.

In an Open Letter to Premier Doug Ford, United Ways across Ontario call for action on toughest issues facing Ontarians United Way leaders identify Housing Security, Income Security and Inclusive Employment, Inclusive Communities and Support for the Social Services Sector as social issues of focus.

CORNWALL (July 6, 2022) – United Way leaders from across Ontario addressed an open letter to Ontario Premier Doug Ford and his cabinet yesterday morning calling for close collaboration to alleviate a multitude of social issues plaguing the province. From Sault Ste. Marie and Cornwall to Hamilton and Windsor, the leaders recommended four issue areas to focus on together — Housing Security, Income Security and Inclusive Employment, Inclusive Communities, and Support for the Social Services Sector — to address the unignorable hurdles to a strong and vibrant Ontario, especially through the

Pelvic health tips for cycling season Natasha Ingram

Movement Matters MOVE THERAPEUTICS

Cycling is a fantastic way to get in your weekly 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic exercise to keep your heart and body healthy. We are so fortunate to have access to so many beautiful bike trails here in SD&G. It is no secret that cycling is good for you, but we all know the perils of uncomfortable bike seats and the discomfort that can arise in your pelvic floor as a result of

long distance pedalling. No need to worry, we have got you covered with some tips below to keep you riding comfortably.

Tip number one: ensure that you have your bike properly fitted by a professional bike fitter.

Your bike fit can make all the difference to reduce pressure on your pelvic floor.

Professional bike fitters use special tools to measure your bike to your unique build in order to optimise comfor t and maximise performance.

Tip number two: invest in a pair of fitted bike shorts with padding, you’ll never want to ride without them once you try them.When you are

wearing fitted, padded shorts it is advised that you should not wear underwear. Why? By not wearing underwear, you reduce chafing. You could also consider investing in anti-chafe cream that can be applied to the skin on inner thighs and sit bones to protect your skin from the friction of pedalling.

Tip number three: change out of your sweaty cycling clothes as soon as possible after riding to reduce the risk of developing a urinary tract infection. Enough said, just do it.

Tip number four: If you start to experience numbness, tingling, pins, needles or pain in the front or back of your pelvis, reach out to a pelvic

health physiotherapist. Pelvic health physiotherapists thoroughly assess your pelvic health problems and provide education as well as treatment to keep you cycling all season long!

Tip number five: stretch and relax your pelvic floor muscles after bike riding. Child, pigeon, happy baby and garland yoga poses are great options to lengthen the pelvic floor muscles.

Aim to hold each pose for 1-2 minutes each while performing deep belly breaths.

If you have any questions about pelvic or women’s health, feel free to reach out to Move Therapeutics on Instagram or Facebook and we would be happy to help you!

Cornwall Hospital managing Emergency Department pressures Cornwall Community Hospital is warning of longer than usual Emergency Department wait times amid a province-wide surge in patient volumes, staffing shortages and lack of available beds. The months of May and June saw the highest number of visits to the Cornwall Community Hospital’s (CCH) Emergency Department in 5 years, all while the hospital simultaneously deals with a shortage of available healthcare staff and emergency physicians, and a lack of available beds due to rising numbers of long-stay Alternate Level of Care (ALC) patients.

The result is that patients in the Emergency Department are waiting longer to be assessed and admitted, and staff are enduring increased abuse from frustrated patients and families.

This is not unique to Cornwall as the Ontario Hospital Association is reporting that hospitals throughout the province are experiencing high

ALC numbers and worsening staffing pressures, causing some of the highest provincial wait and ambulance offload times in more than 10 years.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on health human resources. Many healthcare workers moved to other areas of the healthcare system or left the occupation, and many smaller communities such as Cornwall face severe physician shortages.

Locally these pressures have been exacerbated by the recent closure of the McConnell Medical Clinic, leaving many people feeling like they have no choice but to visit the Emergency Department.

“We recognize that Emergency Department wait times are long, however we expect that our hard-working staff and physicians are treated with respect,” urges Jeanette Despatie, CCH President and Chief Executive Officer, adding that “the hospital is doing everything we can

and using innovative ways to minimize the impact that these pressures are having on our healthcare system, and to ensure that our patients can receive the exceptional care they’ve come to know from our hospital.”

CCH would like to remind the community that unlike a walk-in clinic, when patients report to the Emergency Department, staff use a method called triage to determine who needs to be seen first.

“What this means is that patients are called based on the severity of symptoms rather than the order they checked in. We understand this can feel frustrating for those who have waited a long time for care. However, it is standard practice in hospitals because it ensures that we meet the needs of those requiring life-saving and urgent procedures. This is also why Emergency Department wait times are always fluctuating,” explains Despatie.

CCH assures the community that its Emergency Department team is doing everything possible to avoid reducing operating hours or closing its doors – like some Emergency Departments in Ontario have needed to do – and that anyone who comes to the Emergency Department will be seen by a physician according to the urgency of their symptoms. “But be prepared to wait and please be kind with staff,” adds Despatie.

CCH would also like to remind the community that although it has recently eased some pandemic restrictions, masks are still required at all times in the hospital, even while visiting with loved ones at the bedside. This is because the hospital is unique from other community settings in that it provides care to vulnerable patients, and many hospital rooms and waiting areas are shared spaces with others who are ill or recovering.

of doing something about all this as he is a perfect, righteous judge. See Romans chapter 2, verses 1-5. But secondly, here’s the Good News (yes, there is some great news!). We can be made right with God, and forgiven. Actually, anyone can be; anywhere, anytime!

We can find forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ and what he has accomplished- Just believe it!

As W.C. Fields, the American comedian, was ill and lay dying in a hospital room, a friend came to visit.

He was surprised to find him reading a Bible. Fields had never been known for any religious practice or devotion. When asked why he was reading, he replied “I’m looking for loopholes”! Now hopefully W.C. did find some light and truth in his last days, but people have always wanted to find another way other than when God has provided, often what they call: their own way. One final little-bit of bad news/good news: You won’t find any loop holes, but fear not- God has provided a way, the best way.

Who doesn’t enjoy some really good news from time to time, especially when it’s unexpected? Maybe you’ve had a surprise gift come your way, like a belated birthday present or an inheritance. Or perhaps your investment portfolio showed some dramatic improvement in the last quarter! Perhaps the doctor gives you a clear bill of health that leaves you genuinely surprised! Maybe an old friend reached out to connect with you, leaving you smiling! We all love these things!

As we are studying the first couple of chapters in the Bible book of Romans at church these weeks, the author Paul is going to be delivering some really good news soon, what we call the ‘gospel’ that Jesus Christ brings. But before he gets into that, he’s actually got some bad news to share. That’s how it works: God’s good news for everyone, everywhere, only exists in a context of bad news. And you won’t understand the one without the other. That’s quite different from how good news usually works. Here’s the skinny on both; first- the Bad News. God doesn’t let anyone get away with anything (sorry Vladimir Putin!), not anywhere, not ever! God knows all, and sees all. He is compassionate and he is just! He is also quite capable

nout. If you’re looking for a new job because you’re burned out, try to find a job that affords you a better work/life balance.

• Satisfaction: When attempting to achieve a better work/life balance, it can be easy to overlook satisfaction at work in exchange for more time at home. But studies have shown that feeling satisfied by what you do can have a profound impact on your overall happiness.

• Commute: Bending over backwards simply to get to work and then get home from work can have an incredibly negative impact on your life. Before accepting a job offer, estimate your commute time to and from the new office and try to determine the impact of that commute on your quality of life.

Many people aspire to find a new job at the dawn of a new year. Job seekers should consider a host of factors before switching jobs to make sure they make the best decisions.

In accordance with the “Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act”, personal information is collected under the authority of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, and will be used for the purpose of candidate selection.

Accommodations of persons with disabilities are available for all parts of the recruitment and selection process.

Green Infrastructure – finding local solutions to the climate crisis Kimberly Bray

Transition Cornwall+ Since declaring a climate emergency back in December 2021, the City of Cornwall has joined ranks with 500 other Canadian Municipalities to recognize the global climate crisis1. One strategy to mitigate the impacts of climate change is implementing green infrastructure to strengthen local sustainability.

Green infrastructure is a blend of natural and man-made solutions that provide economic, environmental, health, and social benefits.

Examples of green infrastructure include urban forests, stormwater ponds, parks, gardens, and areas of natural heritage2. At present, Cornwall has seven community and pollinator gardens. In addition, to our

beautiful parks that give us ample green space in the inner-city. There are also stormwater retention ponds, throughout the City, that prevent flooding after a heavy rain and help improve water quality3. Green infrastructure is essential to any climate resilient city prepared to handle unexpected weather events. Most importantly, green infrastructure is an integral part of Canada’s Emissions Reduction Plan by 2030 for a sustainable future4.

The City of Cornwall has committed to becoming more locally sustainable through green infrastructure. Recently, the City partnered with the Raisin River Conservation Authority in a riparian restoration project to plant 350 trees and shrubs just north of Pitt and Tollgate along the south branch of the Raisin River. This was a great community event that I had the opportunity to be a part of. I witnessed the environmental benefits of

restoring a waterway like the Raisin River. My role as the Green Infrastructure Research Assistant for the City is funded by the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association and Parks Canada. The work I will be doing this summer involves a cost-benefit analysis of the current natural infrastructure in place and future opportunities. I will be developing an inventory of the natural (green and blue) infrastructure in Cornwall to better understand how to incorporate it into natural asset management. I plan to map out the City’s natural infrastructure within the municipal boundary and identify future areas to implement more. At times, green infrastructure can be more cost-effective than human-engineered infrastructure such as seawalls or pipelines.

Through my role, I aim to explore how much the City can save by using greener options to contend with emerging challenges from climate change and extreme weather events.

Once my inventory is complete, I will connect with other Ontario municipalities to see what they are doing and to learn from them.

Hopefully, this work will help us to understand the benefits of green infrastructure and why it is the best foot forward for the City of Cornwall.

applause will continue throughout the evening with pipe bands and military bands marching onto the grounds and Hadrian’s Wall to keep the magic flowing. The night wraps up with music and fireworks and memories that will last long after the Games are over. If you don’t have a seat in the grandstands, bring your chair and find a comfortable spot on the infield.

entertainment. The Metcalfe Centre lineup in the afternoon includes Bob Burnie and Friends, The Brigadoons, and Friday night headliners, Beòlach. At the same time over in the Tent , the entertainment goes strong with Fridge Full of Empties, Bang on the Ear and Brandy N’ Port. At six pm, there’s a break for everyone to surround the infield and enjoy the fabulous massed bands performance. At 7 pm, the entertainment venues come alive again with The Two Paddys in the Metcalfe Centre while in the Tent, Fridge Full of Empties will keep the dance floor filled til the 10pm closing.

Remember that once you enter the grounds, access to the music venues is included in your admission ticket except for the Friday night dance and the Grandstand seats. The dance is $10 and Grandstand seats are $5.31. See the Games website for details.

All the Celtic music you’ve been missing To many people the Glengarry Highland Games means the sound of the pipes and the sight of the massed bands marching across the infield, but to many others the Games is the greatest opportunity to hear all of your favourite celtic bands in one place at one time. After a long wait, everyone is ready for a real ceilidh and this year’s entertainment lineup at the Games will be sure to please everyone.

MUSIC LINEUP FOR FRIDAY Starting on Friday, the entertainment starts at 1 pm in the Metcalfe Centre showcasing the musical talents of local groups. This year’s lineup includes Stewart’s Glen, The MacCulloch Dancers, Hughie McDonell, The Ceilidh Drovers, Glengarry Girls Choir and Hadrian’s Wall.

Thousands of Games fans think the Friday night Tattoo is the high point of the Games.

This two hour extravaganza presents music,

Headlining the Tattoo this year is Beòlach from Cape Breton dance and pageantry all staged on the infield under a summer night’s sky. To start off the Tattoo, our own Glengarry Massed Fiddlers take to the stage after a three year hiatus that will let everyone know that the Games are back and the show is about to begin.

What a delight it will be to see the MacCulloch Dancers once more come onto the field and perform their world-renowned routine. The

On June 29th, I had the opportunity to attend an oustanding musical event which took place at the Aultsville Theatre in Cornwall. “Anne of Green Gables, The Ballet” was sponsored by the Cornwall Concert Series. Committee members are Scott Peterson, Carole Libey, Davina Reig, Aldéo Duguay, Gera Leblanc, Nicole Mills, Mike Pearson, Jacqueline Petro, Bill Roddy and Virginia Winn. This very dedicated group of people continue to bring oustanding musical events to Cornwall. I applaud them warmly.

The ballet was definitely a quinique event and was extremely well attended.

I went to the doctors today and told him I was having a hard time hearing...

He asks me, “What are the symptoms?”

I say to him, “Well, it’s a show about a family of yellow people living in Springfield.

The father is bald with a bad temper, and the mom has tall blue hair.”

NEWS FROM THE SQUARE Did you know that the ongoing consequences from the Covid-19 pandemic and its numerous variants continue to have a negative impact on the Canadian Retail Scene that reaches all the way to Cornwall? The fundamental principle of retail is “to provide goods and services to the residents living within the extended community that, as a group of retailers, they serve on a daily basis.” The retail community that was severely impacted by the specific Covid-19 restrictions imposed by the different levels of government and their respective agencies, continues to suffer the lingering effects as it struggles to satisfy that fundamental principle. The impact on the manufacturing sector worldwide has seen factories in many countries witness their workforce decimated by the pandemic to the point of halting production of their line of goods. Add to the manufacturing downturn the impact on the transportation industry on both land and sea. The movement of goods in the delivery pipeline from factory to the retailers’ warehouses is referred to as “logistics”, a fancy word to describe the delivery of goods from factory to the individual retailer whose main purpose is to sell those goods to the public has also been negatively impacted by workforce shortages.

The Canadian and hence Cornwall retail community is totally dependent on receiving their goods (inventory) on a regular basis to replenish their store stock of the goods/

The SVTC bursary is granted to students who are applying to post-secondary programs related to theatre or the arts. This year’s recipient is Millie Cameron-Burelle, who has graduated with honours from Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School.

Millie has been a very active member of the SVTC for many years, appearing in our productions of “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast,” “Mary Poppins JR.” and “Elf the Musical JR.” She’ll be continuing her education this fall at York University in Toronto where she’ll be studying theatre arts. Here she is with our first vice-president, Peter Labelle. Congratulations, Millie! products they offer you, the customer, each day. Those goods are not coming in on a regular basis and that is the main reason we see empty shelves and racks in certain stores.

The other lingering consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic is the availability of manpower to the retail community to allow them to sell those goods and services to you the customer. Unfortunately for the retail community, the pandemic restrictions meant layoffs, sporadic work hours, working from home, and meant the closure of a widespread category of retail outlets that did not meet the criteria of “essential service” and in some cases meant the permanent job loss due to stores filing for bankruptcy. In addition, many people took the opportunity during the pandemic to reevaluate their career and made the decision to seek a different career path that perhaps offered more job security than the retail community or provided these individuals with new challenges. This reduction in the retail workforce from pre-pandemic levels has created another layer of frustration to the retail community on top of the shortage of goods, the shortage of store staff to sell the goods that a store still must sell to remain in business.

The immediate impact of those 2 critical shortages in the retail community, is an increase in the retailers’ basic costs due to the scarcity of both product and staff and as we have seen across Ca nada and all the way to Cornwall, some stores could not survive the dual impact and chose to close their doors.

For retailers who have multiple stores we have seen them carry out a triage of their stores and sacrifice some marginal units to provide goods to their larger and more profitable stores to remain in business.

Toutes les équipes locales se verront offrir une séance d’entraînement pour les aider à se mettre en forme avant le jour de la course et sont assurées de participer à trois courses lors de l’événement.”

De la musique entraînante et divers vendeurs de nourriture et d’artisanat seront présents sur place pour que les participants et les spectateurs restent énergisés et ravitaillés tout au long de la journée. Cette année encore, Hospice Cornwall sera l’organisme de bienfaisance partenaire de l’événement.

Il y aura également un tirage 50/50 et une vente aux enchères silencieuse. La totalité des fonds recueillis sera versée à Hospice Cornwall.

“Il faut beaucoup de travail pour organiser cet événement annuel, et je suis très reconnaissant au comité du Cornwall Waterfest pour ses efforts et son dévouement “, ajoute M. Emard. “Nous avons besoin de quelques bénévoles énergiques et soucieux de la communauté pour le jour de la course.

L’ESO du Grand Fleuve se concentre maintenant sur la conception de son image de marque et ses communications publiques, dont un logo et un site web, afin d’informer les gens et de promouvoir la participation communautaire. Un comité directeur et plusieurs groupes de travail ont été mis sur pied pour se pencher sur trois domaines prioritaires, à savoir la santé mentale et les dépendances, les personnes âgées fragiles ayant des besoins de soins complexes ainsi que l’appui aux soins primaires et le développement des capacités dans ce domaine. « Nous remercions toutes les personnes qui ont participé à cet exercice avec nous, dit Crowder. Nous serons heureux de mettre en place un système de soins de santé local centré sur les patients dans lequel les partenaires collaborent afin de mettre rapidement les gens en relation avec les services dont ils ont besoin, de façon plus structurée. »

Les courses de bateaux-dragons du Cornwall Waterfest seront de retour au canal de Cornwall cet été pour sa 11e édition annuelle.

Le festival aura lieu le samedi 13 août sur le canal historique de Cornwall, situé à l’angle de la promenade Power Dam et de la deuxième rue Ouest à Cornwall, en Ontario. Bien que les courses de bateaux-dragons soient l’attraction principale, l’événement propose également un marché unique d’artisans et de vendeurs locaux, ainsi qu’une sélection de délicieux vendeurs de nourriture pour que les festivaliers puissent manger un morceau.

Il y a encore des places disponibles, mais les équipes de bateaux-dragons sont encouragées à s’inscrire dès que possible. Tant que votre équipe s’est inscrite et a payé les frais d’inscription, les équipes auront jusqu’au jour de la course (13 août) pour compléter leur liste. Le comité organisateur espère voir 21 équipes participer à la course de cette année, avec une forte participation locale.

Une équipe est composée de 20 pagayeurs et d’un batteur qui aide à garder l’équipe synchronisée. Le festival fournit un barreur expérimenté dans le cadre des frais d’inscription de 840 $. Cela revient à 40 $ par participant pour une journée de plaisir et d’excitation au bord de l’eau. Les employeurs sont souvent prêts à contribuer aux frais d’inscription car ils estiment que l’événement est un excellent moyen pour les collègues de renforcer le travail d’équipe, la cohésion et la camaraderie.

Le sport est accueillant et accessible aux pagayeurs de tous niveaux. Les participants n’ont donc pas à s’inquiéter du fait qu’il n’y a pas eu de compétition ces deux dernières années en raison de la pandémie.

“Ce qui est bien avec notre parcours de course, c’est qu’il se déroule dans un canal calme et abrité, et qu’il fait environ 200 mètres de long”, explique Lea Emard, présidente du comité du Cornwall Watefest. “Cela le rend très accessible aux pagayeurs débutants, mais

Après des semaines de discussions avec les intervenants et ses partenaires, l’Équipe Santé Ontario du Haut-Canada, de Cornwall et de la région a un nouveau nom : l’Équipe Santé Ontario du Grand Fleuve (ESO du Grand Fleuve).

Les équipes Santé Ontario qui sont actuellement formées dans toute la province par le gouvernement de l’Ontario sont appuyées par un financement du ministère de la Santé de la province. L’intention est que les équipes Santé Ontario fournissent des soins mieux intégrés en éliminant les obstacles pouvant exister entre les fournisseurs de soins de santé et les secteurs géographiques.

L’ESO du Grand Fleuve couvre les Comtés unis de Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry, la ville de Cornwall, Akwesasne, certaines parties du canton de Russell ainsi que le Sud-Est rural d’Ottawa. Elle compte 30 fournisseurs de soins de santé de l’ensemble de ces secteurs, qui collaborent à la réalisation d’une vision commune, soit la prestation de soins mieux intégrés et coordonnés aux patientes et aux patients.

La création de cette ESO a été annoncée l’automne dernier; elle portait alors le nom temporaire d’ESO du Haut-Canada, de Cornwall et de la région, qui lui a été attribué lors du processus initial de demande jusqu’à ce qu’un nom permanent soit choisi. « Nous avons passé les dernières semaines à recueillir les commentaires des patients locaux, des fournisseurs de soins de santé et des membres de la communauté au sujet du nom de notre ESO, a dit Christine Penney, coprésidente du Conseil de collaboration de l’ESO du Grand Fleuve. Ils nous ont dit qu’il devrait être inclusif et descriptif par rapport aux collectivités et aux secteurs géographiques
