On the menu this week: Pitt Street Cafés

Simply Jennifer Coffee & Eats

Simply Jennifer first opened in Leduc’s Shopping Centre in 2016. After a successful couple of years, they expanded to their current location at 110 Pitt Street in 2018, happy to be in a larger downtown location.

“Ever since I was little, I always wanted to be my own boss. I didn’t necessarily know it was going to be in the food industry, I just knew that I wanted a business,” explained Jennifer when asked what inspired her to open, “So, over the years, I just ended up working in the food indus try a lot, from dishwasher to hostess to wait ress, and now I’m here. It just happened.”

Jennifer and her family followed a vegan life style for 6 to 7 years.

Preparing vegan meals for her kids was a testing ground that set the stage for Simply Jennifer’s offerings.

“It’s not necessarily a diet that’s for every body but I found my passion through the chal lenges because when we did it my kids were like, ‘well what about our macaroni and cheese??’, and I was like, ‘oh, how do I do that dairy free?’, right?” Jennifer shared, “So that’s why we’re here. It’s nice to have alternatives when you don’t want to do it yourself.”

Simply Jennifer is a vegan and vegetarian café.

Everything they serve is plant-based, with

free for those with dietary restrictions or aller gies. Sugar and processed foods are also lim ited as much as possible.

Carrots and Dates

on May 4, 2022. It’s a date that the owner, Nancy, a Star Wars fan, will always remember because, ‘May the fourth be with you!’.

Did you know that Carrots and Dates is not a new restaurant?

Carrots and Dates has another location in Tecumseh, near Windsor, that has been open for ten years now. It was ultimately family that brought Nancy to Cornwall and set her on the path to opening a second location.

“My parents lived here, and when mom passed away a few years ago it seemed like such a long drive to come from Windsor to here,” she explained, “So, there was a pull to come to Cornwall at that moment.”

At first, Nancy was going to leave Carrots and

Nancy VigeantCarrots and Dates

urged her to take Carrots and Dates with her here.

Carrots and Dates specializes in vegan and vegetarian dishes, with a focus on whole foods.

“We make everything from scratch,” said Nancy, “So, we try to limit additives, preserva tives, and fillers, and give people actual food. We make our own sauces, dressings, bread, butter… everything to offer our customers the healthiest food we can give them.”

Building community is also important to the Carrots and Dates team. They currently have live music every Friday and plan on hosting other events soon, like movie nights and a crib bage league to give people things to do during the colder months.

Tilly’s Eatery and Deli opened their location at

Tilly’s owner and chef, Carol Ann Breedyk, moved to Cornwall about seven years ago from Ottawa. “I worked in healthcare for 17 years, but I did some catering and a lot of stuff like that on the side,” Carol Ann explained, “When we moved, I didn’t want to commute to the hos pital anymore, so I decided to make a change.”

Carol Ann always wanted to open a

She was working at another restaurant after moving to Cornwall and it was closing, so she figured it was now or never. At the age of 46, Carol Ann opened shop and has been a staple in Cornwall ever since. In addition to their regu lar hours, Tilly’s is also available for private events and catering.

The restaurant is named after Carol Ann’s mother-in-law, Mathilde.

“Born in Spinkebull Germany, she immigrated to Canada after the war with her 3 children in hopes to offer her children a better future,” says the About Us page on Tilly’s website, “She was funny, hardworking, and a wonderful mother. She, like my own Oma from Holland inspired me to open Tilly’s to share with Cornwall some great flavours.”

Tilly’s specialties are their soups, baked goods, coffee, and the warm, welcoming coffee house atmosphere they offer customers.

This past Friday, Sept. 30 marked our National Truth and Reconciliation Day; a time for personal and corporate reflection. Growing up in London Ontario, we had limited interaction with aboriginal ‘Indian’ groups in the late 1970s. There were two local Indian village reconstructions in the London area which I found historically fascinating. We also had two local bands, Oneida and Muncie that were bussed into our very large new high school. Interactions and friendships were scarce and our worlds tended to remain what they were: separate and distinct. No animosity, but very little comradery either.

Truth and Reconciliation are certainly powerful and potentially lifechanging ideas. Our church, and many others find them absolutely compelling. Spiritually; they bring into focus larger more life altering necessities. Truth is something wholly defining and directive for us. We believe without reservation that the Bible (in it’s 66 books) is the Word of God and constitutes truth. Jesus declared and prayed: “Set apart people by the truth, your (God’s) word is truth.” John 17:17. The Bible presents moral reality, values, history and more. This creates our ethos. It is the truth that guides us into all other truth. It’s why we value truth; it matters.

Reconciliation is also a wonderful and powerful idea. Concerning Canadian Aboriginal Affairs, we have realized the last few years that there may be a learning curve to appreciate. Reconciliation presupposes estrangement between parties. Are we aware or unaware? Back in our church context this is also a wonderful truth. Reconciliation brings to light a shocking reality. People are naturally estranged from God. Do people realize their urgent need to be reconciled with the Lord? In the Bible, (New Testament) Romans 5:10-11 described how reconciliation has been made available ‘through the death of God’s son.’ As you believe and trust him, you can find new life and receive reconciliation with God. This is an immense truth all need to embrace. Perhaps you’ve had a good friendship that struggled for a season that was restored through reconciliation. Perhaps in your own family… what a delight! I once heard it suggested that ‘there is no statute of limitations on reconciliation.’ Too much time will never pass. As long as you’re alive it’s never too late! Who do you need to reconcile with? And yes, please realise your need to be reconciled to God. Come find out why!

2022 Ghost Walk for Charity Doubles the Scares

is here and the team at Cardinal Law Professional Corporation, along with many amazing volunteers, are gearing up for the annual Ghost Walk for Charity. What’s more exciting is that the 2022 Ghost Walk comes with a new twist – you get to choose your own ending.

“What makes this year different than every other year is that there are two different end ings. There’s a point in the walk where you get to choose between ending A or ending B,” shared Michael Turcotte, Chairman.

This year’s Ghost Walk for Charity will bene fit Centre 105, Habitat for Humanity, Diversity Cornwall, Cornwall Canada Day, Comfort Quilts, and Salesian Sisters Camp. Last year’s walk raised over $30,000 for great

local non-profits, and the team is hoping to top that this year with the community’s support.

Fittingly, Thursday, October 13th is opening night and the Ghost Walk will run from Thursday to Saturday for three weekends, until the 29th. The event takes place on the upper level of the Cornwall Square where Sears used to be.

As usual, this is a family-friendly event so there will be non-scare hours from 5-6pm without actors or jump scares, followed by scare hours from 6-9pm (10pm on Saturdays). With over 48,000 square feet of terrifying decorations, props, animatronics, and actors, guests are sure to be in for a thrilling evening.

Cornwall Hospital Introduces New Dining Experience for Patients

Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) has introduced an entirely new patient-centred dining experience. In partnership with Compass One Healthcare, the Comfort Kitchen menu launching this week at CCH will offer patients homemade comfort foods to help stimulate appetites, increase food intake, and improve their overall experience while in hospital.

The Comfort Kitchen menu offers patients with a choice of two Daily Chef’s Specials at each meal period and an Always Available section. Patients browse the menu, choose their meal, and provide their choices to CCH dietary staff who visit them at bedside prior to mealtime.

Comfort Kitchen’s menu items are cooked from scratch using fresh ingredients; the hospital’s kitchen was specially retrofitted to accommodate this new process.

Menu items available from the Comfort Kitchen at CCH include chicken parmesan,

Indian butter chicken, roast beef with gravy, black bean soup, quesadillas, egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches, and a selec tion of fresh pastries.

The hospital has also introduced all-new diet plans to coincide with the Comfort Kitchen menu to accommodate a variety of patients who may require different textured foods, consistencies, etc.

CCH is only one of two hospitals in Ontario to implement Compass One Healthcare’s Comfort Kitchen.

“Not only will this new menu provide our patients with comforting and familiar fla vours, but it also gives them more selection and variety,” said Jeanette Despatie, CCH’s President and Chief Executive Officer, adding that she is “proud of this patient-centred dining experience now available at Cornwall Hospital, in partnership with Compass One Healthcare.”

“The goal of our Comfort Kitchen is to

Cornwall Comedy Festival Returns in October with Comedy Rebirth Gala

The Cornwall Comedy Festival has been pro viding first rate comedic experiences to our city since 2014. The festival partners with community-minded businesses to provide a new and fun way for local not-for-profit organ izations to raise funds to benefit our community.

After a three-year hiatus, Cornwall Comedy Festival is back with the Cornwall Comedy Festival/Comedy Rebirth Gala on Saturday, October 15th at 8pm at Aultsville Theatre. Comedy Rebirth creator, Rob Bebenek, will be hosting the event as well as performing.

“Comedy Rebirth was born out of the pan demic because we couldn’t do anything for a while,” Bebenek explained, “A buddy of mine from Toronto asked if I wanted to run a com edy show. It had been the first show in about four months that any of us had done.”

Bebedek, who has been doing standup for 15 years, shared that zoom comedy during the

pandemic was a bit of a nightmare and it’s good to be back to doing in-person shows.

“The few times I’ve done this Cornwall Comedy Festival it’s always been a blast,” he added, “Anytime Shawn reaches out there’s no hesitation because you know you’re going to have fun. Shawn’s picked a really good line up; it’s going to be a great show.”

The show is being headlined by Derek Seguin (SiriusXM Top Comic), with Jen Grant (Just For Laughs), Nick Reynoldson (JFL42) and Viveth K (Winnipeg Comedy Festival) also performing.

Visit www.CornwallComedyFestival.ca or the Cornwall Civic Complex Box Office (613-9389400) for tickets or contact one of our not-forprofit partners, Beyond 21, PawPortunity Rescue or Help Addiction & Mental Health Recovery Services Cornwall by October 3rd. They’ll receive $17.50 for each ticket they sell.

Optimist Club’s Trunk or Treat Event Back for Third Year

KRYSTINE THERRIAULT ktherriault@seawaynews.media

In 2021, local businesses and individuals joined the Optimist Club of Cornwall in Lamoureux Park on Halloween for the second annual Trunk or Treat event, providing treats to over 800 children despite the drizzle. This year, they are once again inviting community partners to load up the backs of their vehicles with goodies for trick or treaters.

“The one thing we kept hearing is that the homes with lights on for treats are getting farther apart and therefore children must trav el outside of their neighbourhood or talk a long distance to collect treats,” said Optimist Club’s Terry Muir, “2020 and 2021 showed that with community partners such as you we can work together, and we can provide a safe alternative.”

The walkthrough event will take place on Monday, October 31 and will allow local

LONG SAULT

businesses to be seen by many as they give out candy to the children in our community.

“Basically, it’s designed for businesses that are unable to give out candy for a variety of reasons, either because they’re closed or out of the way,” Muir explained, “We love the event and the businesses that come out are ecstatic too, because all the kids come out dressed up in their costumes and you get to see so many smiles.”

The Optimist Club encourages local busi nesses, community organizations, and inter ested individuals to decorate their vehicle or tent for the event. Businesses can also set up a scary or non-scary area of the park to show how the Cornwall Business Community does Halloween.

If you are interested in being involved, please contact the Optimist Club at info@opti mistclubofcornwall.org or online at optimist clubofcornwall.org or at 613-362-3101.

Cogeco Plants Trees at South Stormont Park with the RRCA

Cogeco staff and their family members took part in the telecommunications and media company’s second annual Community Involvement Day by enhancing a local green space in South Stormont. The Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA) and the Township of South Stormont facilitated the Cogeco staff’s planting of ten white birch trees at Lakeview Park, a riparian area on the bank of the St. Lawrence River, located on Avonmore Road just South of County Road 2, between Long Sault and Cornwall.

The trees will serve to improve riparian tree cover, provide shelter, food, and habitat for wildlife, and enhance the visitor experience at the public waterfront park.

Through its forestry program, the RRCA has planted over one million trees locally since 1994, strengthening the area’s tree cover, flood resilience, wildlife habitat, and the over all sustainability of local watersheds.

Social Innovation and Inclusion - A free thrift store in Cornwall!

Already 175 families and individuals have benefited from ACFO SDG’s Friperie.

Source, Cornwall, September 29, 2022: In November 2021, ACFO SDG innovated by creat ing its free thrift store to meet the needs of vulnerable or newly arrived families in the region. Very quickly, the generosity of the com munity made the Chevrier Street location over flow. Too small, a sustainable solution had to be found.

It is only a couple of months later that a teacher from La Citadelle High-School, Joëlle Perras, reached out to ACFO SDG to develop a community project. For Céline BaillargeonTardif, executive director at ACFO SDG, it was a foregone solution: by have the school provide a room, the community would benefit from a cen tral and accessible location and the children from the special class would be directly impli cated in an impactful initiative. The thrift store has known a great success. Last summer, the school freed and offered a new bigger space and ACFO SDG equipped the store with new commercial furniture. Since its debut, the thrift store served over 175 families and individuals, thanks to an extraordinary rallying of the

HONOUR

community, implicated children and over 30 committed volunteers.

“With the help of volunteers and our team, for years we have been meeting families as soon as they arrive in the area and providing them with a directory of resources in French so that they can discover all the services available to them. Now, with the help of the youth, the school and the community, the ACFO SDG thrift store has really taken off and continues to pro vide basic necessities. Let’s remember that all donations make a difference in the lives of those in need,” said Denise Dumais, volunteer leader and vice-president of ACFO SDG.

Call to the community!

ACFO SDG, a community convener, continues to develop its partnerships with local organiza tions. “We are pleased to renew our partner ship with the Eastern Ontario Training Board for a winter coat drive to serve the newcomers currently at the Dev Center”, said Céline Baillargeon-Tardif, Executive Director.

Come and drop off your winter coats at ACFO SDG at 146 C Chevrier Avenue, Cornwall.

PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE

Remembering Reg and The Club

Cornwall, the Club Restaurant was on his itin erary of important places to visit.

My first experience as a Club Restaurant customer was as a young, naive, inexperi enced reporter with the Daily Standard-Freeholder.

Owner Reg Woodward ran the hole-in-thewall dressed up as an eatery. In reality, it was more of a social club, although he did cook a good steak. He was the quintessential town character. To say Reg was loud would be an understatement. The late Frank Orr, a Hockey Hall of Fame sports writer, who spent the first two years of his career in Cornwall, nick named Reg “The Yell”.

Reg’s favourite greeting, for important people and people who though they were important was, “Well, well ... here comes the last of the big spenders.”

As I parked my butt on a stool at the counter, Reg barked, “Well junior, wadda it be?”

Asked for a glass of orange juice.

Seconds later Reg slid a glass of tomato juice in front of me as he breezed past.

“Excuse me, Mr. Woodward,” I pleaded, “but I asked for orange juice.”

No response.

Few minutes later, Reg hustled out the door of the Pitt Street eatery.

“Where’s he going?” I asked the guy beside me.

I was informed that Reg didn’t keep a big inventory, so when somebody ordered a steak, he ran down to the nearby Dominion Store to pick one up.

Reg was ahead of his time when it came to supply-chain management and just-in-time inventory now practised by the auto manufacturers.

Reg was a true-blue Conservative.

So, on one of Premier Bill Davis’s visits to

As Davis and his entourage squeezed through the front door, Reg bellowed, “Ladies and gentlemen, the Preeemyair of Ontario.”

Davis was ushered, by Reg, decked out in his white chef’s hat, white shirt, white pants and white apron, to a table marked, “Reserved for the Premier” and covered with a fresh checkered tablecloth. Nothing but the best for the preeemyair.

A line of selected folks was brought to the table by Reg one by one to meet Davis. One of them was Bill Pickard , the Royal Bank manager. The bank had announced plans to build a new branch across the street.

“Bill,” ordered Reg, “Go get the blueprints to show the preeemyair.”

Pickard retreated to his car and came back with a rolled-up set of blueprints that were laid out on Davis’s table.

“So, Reg,” said Davis with a smile after scanning the prints, “I suppose you are finan cing it (new branch).”

Short time later, the Premier of Ontario was escorted by Reg to his car outside The Club.

As it pulled away, the back window came down and the Premier of Ontario stuck his arm out the window and with a big wave, said, “See you Reg.”

Just another day at The Club.

HERE AND THERE If Donald Trump is elect ed president in 2024 (assuming he isn’t in jail), a lot of people will need to believe in life after death, in this case political death. ...

Thank you Adopt-a-Street volunteers

Dear Editor,

Now that the Adopt-a-Street program is winding down I wish to thank every volun teer for looking after our streets, roads, parks and trails since early spring by removing litter of all kinds.

Thanks to the originators of the Program for bringing such a program to our city and to all of those who have participated since

its launch seven years ago. We all get to enjoy the benefits of this extraordinary anti-litter initiative.

Thanks to our beautiful library for offer ing a wonderful spot to greet new volun teers these past three years.

It is important to note that many eager volunteers start collecting litter once the snow melts and carry on well into fall.

THIS AND THAT In 1963 a young family doctor arrived in Cornwall with her husband, Max, an obstetrician/genealogist. Dr. Patricia Irwin was making history. She was the city’s first female doctor. She died last week at age 91. She had been living for several years at Glen-Stor-Dun Lodge and was an active mem ber of the residents’ committee. ...

He played four seasons in the Ontario Hockey League (Sault Ste-Marie and Kingston). A 6-2, 205-pound left winger, he was drafted in 1994 by the Philly Flyers. He had a long career in the American Hockey League before joining the English Premier (Hockey) League where he played 10 seasons.

LOOKING BACK - OCTOBER 1964 –Avonmore family doctor J. M. Pollick on Oct. 28, 1964 celebrated his 50th year in the medical field. He had served Avonmore for 36 years. He was still seeing up to 45 patients a day that included 26 home visits. He esti mated that over the years he had delivered

For the first time, an advance poll would open at city hall on Dec. 4 and 5. On voting day, there would be 72 polls with six in private homes. The turn-out for the 1962 election was 60%. ...

QUOTED “The income tax has made more liars out of people than golf.” - Will Rogers

In fact, many volunteers collect litter weekly, others do so once or twice a month and there are some participants that clean up litter almost every day! All totalled this communal effort demon strates the willingness of many residents, of all ages, to play a big part in address ing the effects of littering with the goal of achieving a cleaner city.

For the first time this year, Juliet and I went canoeing. Years ago, transferring our 70 -pound canoe from atop our VW Eurovan to the shoreline was easy. That’s when I was decades younger and fit. Somehow, the canoe seems to gain weight at the same percentage rate as the increase in the cost of living.

As soon as we arrived, bystanders approached us with, “Need a hand with that?” With much less effort than I had anticipated, the canoe was slipped into the water. After two hours of leisurely paddling, we were faced with the reverse challenge, hauling the canoe from shore to top of vehicle.

In answer to our unspoken prayers, a pair of onlookers leapt into action: “May we help you with that canoe?”

Last winter, I was pulling into a friend’s

snow-covered rural driveway. The culvert under it was about four-feet shorter than nor mal. My pickup dropped into the ditch, drivewheels spinning in the air.

Out of nowhere, a Mercedes sedan pulled up behind me. “You got a tow rope?” he asked. I hooked us up. His tires spun and screamed. The air went blue, not from any one’s cursing, but from his tires.

“Hey! Stop, you’ll damage your car!” I began to shout. but just then my truck was freed. As we unshackled the tow rope, he smiled and whispered, “No problem, it’s not my car.”

If you’ve been to Walmart lately, the num ber of cashiers has been reduced in inverse number to the self check-out stations and the length of customer line-ups. A purchaser of ice cream would be justified in entering it as milk.

However, the overworked cashier still insisted on saying, “Let me pack your bag for you,” even though the extra help was not required. Ever since being discharged from two months in hospital, I’m walking with the assistance of a cane or sometimes a walker.

People are even more caring and helpful than usual.

Pumped any gas lately? If you’re as old as our late Queen Elizabeth was, or the same age as any of her children, you can remem ber hearing this: “Can I check your oil? Your windshield needs a wipe. Tire pressures okay? How about a free road map for your next trip?”

Years ago, my son and I were on a bicycle trip to Vermont. Our first night’s stay was in

Montreal. We were setting up our tent on a remote corner of Ile Ste. Hélène.

“Sorry, no camp here. Mon surveillant could see you when he do his rounds. However, over there, under that there weep ing willow, would be pas de problème!”

Several days later, on the return leg of our ride, we were pedalling through Olde Montreal. The voice of our angel called out, “Bienvenue! Will you be stay on the island tonight?”

I believe the DevCore development, at the previous Nav Centre, will be the one attraction that will benefit Cornwall and the two counties for tourism, economic growth and housing.

James Leroux, Cornwall

ANSWER: Will work with the new Mayor. To locate developers for our water front.

Jordan Poapst, Cornwall

ANSWER: I’d be happy to work with them on developing waterfront tourism. I’d actually like to propose an amalgamation with Cornwall’s outlying areas, to create a sort of Greater Cornwall Area, which would assist in the governmental efficiency of creating such an econom ic landscape. Specifically for the water, we would also need to work with the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne on any such decisions. Together, there could be cannabis tourism on the water, like party cruise boats, just as an idea. We could look into developing a waterfront casino. Perhaps, we could look into developing some sort of family-oriented amusement park. On the other end, we could bring back adult entertainment establishments to our area. Some of these ideas would require municipal bylaw amendments, and I am all for the review of bylaws which impede private business, particularly in the forms of tourism and entertainment.

Justin Towndale, Cornwall

ANSWER: This is a difficult one to answer because I don’t believe there is a single answer to this question. I also believe that we need to bring Akwesasne into any discussions about a new major event or attraction on the waterfront. The one common factor that Cornwall, South Stormont, and South Glengarry have currently is the waterfront trail, which promotes bicycle tourism. Ensuring that there are points of interest or engagement along the way of the recreational path will ensure that bicycle tourism continues. Each respective municipality also has a list of waterfront projects to complete. I believe that if we communicate with each other, and this includes Akwesasne, that we can plan our projects in sync for maximum impact. I would like to explore having Cornwall Transit provide service to Akwesasne, South Stormont, and South Glengarry to allow for better connectivity between all four communities and generate more waterfront traffic for all. I also believe that a water taxi service is some thing that could be looked at, as it could easily serve Cornwall, Akwesasne, and South Glengarry. South Stormont is upstream of the Moses Saunders Dam, so a bit more

coordination would be required, but it is also achievable. Further to this, having bike rental stations, similar to the ones in Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal, at key points along the water front trail would provide another option for easy travel between our communities.

ANSWER: We have so much opportunity to all work together to make improvements for our Waterfront collectively, with South Glengarry, City of Cornwall, South Stormont, and South Dundas partnering with the St. Lawrence Parks Commission. I see many recreational activ ities that would bring many people to our communities as a prosperous economic engine. We could organize the best sport fishing in North America during the summer and winter seasons. We can be very competitive with Prince Edward County and Sand Banks that have overpriced RB&B’s. Other projects could be waterfront-based events in conjunction with music Festivals. South Stormont Township are in constant communication with the SLPC to secure waterfront property for recreational development. The Recreational waterfront master plan is on the South Stormont website to view.

David Smith, South Stormont

ANSWER: I’m not sure if bordering Townships to Cornwall would benefit us as well as it would the city. I feel that Cornwall would reap the rewards of the tourism dollars. However some mutual projects can take place using the connectivity of the bike path along the water fronts could happen. Bicycle rally’s, running events or even snow shoeing could bring some economic impact to each community as we all promote together with the help and guidance of SD&G G tourism.

Lyle Warden, South Glengarry

ANSWER: With the recent announcement from Devcore, the new owners of Nav Canada property. I would be happy to meet up with them to see if there is anything that SG and SS could do to add to the project. I would also be happy to see if there could be ways that we could all enhance our water front trail, located on the nicest body of water in Canada. (in my opinion) Surely enhancing this trail in a unified approach, would attract visitors to our area, and help economic development.

Lachlan McDonald, South Glengarry

ANSWER: This is another tough question because the three waterfronts are very different. Most of South Glengarry is privately held; Cornwall and South Stormont have significant publicly owned waterfront. I would have staff search all previous studies and develop a pro posal based on those recommendations. Public acceptance of any plan is critical, and I’d prefer this to be community led and supported by the Township’s grants and donation policy. I would support the resurrection of another SD&G Great Waterfront Trails event or a similar event. I imagine that would be agreeable among all three Mayors. We have to keep in mind, the waterfront, by itself, is the draw for tourism and growth.

QUESTION #3: What project can the three mayors of S. Stormont, S. Glengarry and Cornwall agree to work on to create a new waterfront attraction or event that draws tourism and/or economic growth to our region?

MUNICIPAL ELECTION

Glen Grant, Cornwall

ANSWER: Increasing health care workers in our area is difficult to answer due to the number and levels of health care. City Council has developed two programs, the Medical Recruitment Program and the Medical Scholarship Program, that assists in attracting much needed doctors to Cornwall. Currently we are reviewing these programs to help address our current needs.

James Leroux, Cornwall

ANSWER: Looking forward to work with council to increase our health care workers in our area for a better health service, be it Physcisian, more nurses, more social workers. There is a need and where do you start?

Jordan Poapst, Cornwall

ANSWER: I am not well-researched on the subject of the healthcare worker shortage (and whether or not this a localized issue), and would require an in depth review of the situation, to form an approach to a possible solution. I will say that the pandemic seems to have stressed our healthcare system, and workers, and particularly how our government has treated these essential workers. As I’ve mentioned, the root cause for many issues in Cornwall revolve around our lack of population growth. We (as council, working with administration) need to attract people here (via new industry), which requires an ability to influence workers and businesses to want to come here. When more people start choosing Cornwall, the health workers to care for them will follow. If we encourage the development of more enjoyable things to do in the city, we may attract people who seek this enjoyment when not working (particularly good for people with high-stress jobs).

Justin Towndale, Cornwall

ANSWER: Earlier this term I was approached by a local resident who was a qualified medical doctor looking to return to Cornwall to practice and take advantage of our medial scholarship. This doctor had passed his Canadian and American medical boards, worked in hospitals in Ontario and was currently working in New York. However, because his medical degree was from outside Canada or the US, he was initially declined. I was able to help him get acceptance into the program, which was a big win for the community. But he is not alone. I then tabled a motion to strike a task force to review the criteria of our medical scholarship program with the intent of looking to expanding it to doctors and specialists trained outside Canada and the US. However, this motion was defeated at Council. The time has long past to review and update our outdated

medical recruitment and medical scholarship criteria in order to support more doctors coming to Cornwall.

Bryan McGillis, South Stormont

ANSWER: A doctor recruitment committee was formed with South Stormont and South Dundas. We were able to recruit two doctors, but we are looking at other opportunities such as Nurse Practitioners to expand services to help with the doctor shortage. We have identified the problems. There are still many people that do not have a doctor. Space is not the problem. Our health care system in Canada is broken. The competition is stiff to recruit doctors because they are leaving for the US because for better pay, and less barriers to cross. This is another huge concern we must do regionally for better results.

David Smith, South Stormont

ANSWER: Health care is a bit out of reach for small municipalities as far as increasing the workforce. This is more of a Provincial responsibility. We can however try create and subsidize some volunteer groups to help ease the burden and workload of our health care workers. They are overworked and forced to spend too much time on minor responsibilities that a volunteer can help with like some activities for example. Reading and interacting with seniors is important to their mental health and welfare. Not all health care is physical.

Lyle Warden, South Glengarry

ANSWER: South Glengarry council recently agreed to collaborate with HGMH to pay $25K over a 5 year period to help towards recruiting a new doctor to the area. This is a first for our municip ality and I am proud that our Council moved forward on this initiative.

Lachlan McDonald, South Glengarry

ANSWER: Health care is the million-dollar question right now but also fundamentally a provin cial responsibility. In speaking to a mother of a nursing student, I understand that the enrollment in nursing has increased in 2022, which is great news. I also understand that the nursing crisis is two-fold: demographic and burnout. Both those things the Township cannot influence.

Therefore, the greatest thing we can do is make South Glengarry a place that people want to come home to when they are finished their studies. Additionally, we should collaborate with local hospitals and school boards to educate and encourage our youth on the rewarding career that nursing offers. A career that my mother and both Grandmothers undertook.

gathered on outside of St. Lawrence College off Montreal Road Saturday morning for a brief ceremony and the revealing of the new plaques.

“This is a ceremony that celebrates the first institution to offer French higher educa tion in Cornwall,” said Robert Marleau, Class of 1969, “These two plaques that we are about to unveil are barely a page in the hist ory of the city; but for us College alumni, these plaques are tomes of childhood mem oirs, chapters of upbringing memories, and volumes of the classical training that shaped and guided us in our subsequent contribu tions to Canadian and international society.”

The plaques tell the story of how in 1949 the Clerics of Saint Viator, a religious order

founded in France in 1831, were mandated to build a boys’ school in Cornwall that became the first French Catholic secondary school in the area. Due to the school’s success, in 1955 the Clerics built the Cornwall Classical College on the shores of the St. Lawrence River, at a spot then known as Windmill Point.

Boarders came to the school from many places near and far, including Apple Hill, Ottawa, Alexandria, Manitoba, New Brunswick, the United States and even Mexico, to name a few. Many of the college’s alumni are now leaders in their industries and can be found at all levels of senior civil service. They include the mayor of Cornwall, employees of the Library of Parliament, published FrancoOntarian authors, and more.

Cornwall’s Classical College was more than just a school; the Clerics were builders of the Franco-Ontarian community. Now the Classical College’s legacy will continue to live on for new generations to learn about.

Lost Villages Brewery has now opened just outside Cornwall in South Stormont. Owners Kevin Baker, Mat Camm and John Wright receive acknowledgement certificate from MP Eric Duncan.

Aging Well

Rick Shaver Senior on Assignment

Well, what a day it was. I took on the assignment so I could firsthand see what was happening at the Cornwall Senior fair, being advertised as Aging Well Bien Vieillir / The Senior health and Safety Fair.

It was fantastic. Over 50 booths. Thank you for making sure we all had a handout with everything marked. The booths were well staffed and lots of information. The few photos I took only represent partially all the great smiles that were present. The booths the city had sure had lots iof information to help us seniors in this community. Very well presented and staffed.

Seniors were lined up and chatting away to all. It was like everyone was happy just to get out and see everyone. I know I was . Talked until I needed a drink…had to go look ing since the concession stand was closed but a few vend ors offered up a cold water. Lots of committee members walking the floor and assisting…Syd Gardner was front and center but very useful in his direction, Glen Grant was circ ling helping those in need and Carolyn Hebert was in control.

The City of Cornwall’s Senior Friendly Community Committee is to be applauded for their fair.

This free event was open to everyone and did showcase services and programs for seniors and their caregivers. With 50exhibits and 15 workshops focused on aging well

there is certain to be something for everyone. This event is funded in part by the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program.

“Aging well is prolonging our autonomy and guaranteeing the desired quality of life.” Bernard Lamarche, Chair of the Senior Friendly Community Committee.

I sat in on the one workshop with keynote speaker James Conklin, PhD. It was a full room with lots of discussion . The photo of Bernard, Carolyn and James had to be done quick ly as everyone was off to another function. It was just a fun and entertaining schedule for the people to enjoy.

I was caught in a situation I never faced before . There I was chatting to another 65-year-old when all of a sudden, a school friend, from Viscount Grade 8 said hi…”so we are now attending these events are we.” It happened. I went from schoolboy to senior. I only blinked once…maybe twice. After a quick hug I turned to my friend, and we smiled…yes we were now seniors. I continued my journey and continued to say hi, yup know him. Know her, yup know a whole lot of

Jenny Lee from In Home Therapeutics, home, and community physiotherapy and mayor Glen Grant.

A Message from Dr. Paul about COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses

As we head into fall and the beginning of the respiratory illness

I wanted to take a moment to discuss the status of the COVID-19 pandemic and some precautions we can all take to prevent its spread, as well as the spread of other respiratory illnesses throughout the fall and winter.

Updated COVID-19 case and contact management

As you’re likely aware, Ontario’s Ministry of Health recently updated its guidelines for indi viduals who either develop COVID-19 symp toms, test positive for COVID-19, or are in close contact with someone who has COVID-19.

Guidelines for individuals with symptoms

In an effort to prevent the spread of COVID19 and other respiratory viruses such as the cold and flu, the province is now instructing indi viduals who have COVID-19 symptoms to stay home while sick, regardless of testing results. Once their symptoms have been improving for 24 hours (if they have respiratory symptoms) or 48 hours (if they have gastro-intestinal symp toms), they can head out again, as long as they continue to wear a mask for 10 days from the

time they got sick. They must also avoid non-es sential visits to vulnerable individuals and high est-risk settings such as long-term care homes for 10 days.

Guidelines for individuals with no symptoms

Individuals who test positive for COVID-19, but don’t have any symptoms are no longer required to isolate. However, they must wear a mask when out in public and avoid vulnerable individuals and high-risk settings for 10 days from the time they test positive. If the situation changes and they develop symptoms, they must isolate immediately.

Guidelines for close contacts

Individuals who are exposed to a confirmed case of COVID-19 are no longer required to iso late, regardless of their vaccination status. They must however wear a mask for 10 days from last exposure and avoid non-essential vis its to vulnerable individuals and high-risk set tings. Once again, they must isolate immedi ately if symptoms develop.

Staying up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines

Staying up to date with your COVID-19

vaccines remains the best way to protect your self and others from serious illness caused by COVID-19. The greater the number of people who stay up to date, the more we can prevent the transmission of COVID-19 in our commun ities and protect the most vulnerable, such as individuals in long-term care homes and retire ment homes.

Combined with other precautionary meas ures like screening for symptoms every day, washing your hands frequently, and staying home when ill, the vaccines also help reduce the burden on our healthcare system and pro tect our most vulnerable.

The bivalent COVID-19 booster vaccine

Bivalent vaccines provide protection against the original strain of COVID-19 as well as the Omicron BA.1 variant. Preliminary study results indicate that bivalent vaccines will also provide protection against the BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron subvariants. The bivalent COVID-19 booster vaccine is now available for all Ontarians aged 18 and up.

COVID-19 vaccines for children

I also want to remind parents that getting

their children vaccinated against COVID-19 can help prevent serious illness and long COVID, especially amongst the most vulnerable. A pri mary COVID-19 vaccine series is available for children between the ages of 6 months to 4 years old, and children between the ages of 5 to 11 now have access to a third-dose booster.

Looking forward with optimism

Finally, I want to thank all of you for doing your part to keep your loved ones and our commun ities safe throughout the pandemic. Without a doubt, it has been a challenging time. However, the situation today is much different than it was in early 2020. As a result of the vaccines and natural infections, we now have greater com munity immunity. We also have access to anti viral treatments to prevent severe illness in vulnerable individuals who contract COVID-19. Although the pandemic is not yet over, I am glad to say that with these layers of protection and the precautionary measures mentioned above, we are well equipped to continue on our path towards a more normal life.

South Glengarry Hopes to Improve Voter Turnout with New Challenge

turnout mark. “We were looking at data over the last couple of elections. In 2018, 2014, and 2010, our voter turnout was just below the 50 percent park,” explained Kelli Campeau, General Manager of Corporate Services/Clerk for South Glengarry, “We’re putting a challenge out there to put a fun spin on getting those numbers up.” The average

Ryan MacKay

voter turnout in the province’s 2018 municipal election was 38%, the lowest it’s been since 1982. This means South Glengarry had an above average voter turnout in the last elec tion, but they would still like to see that num ber climb over the 50% mark.

Low voter turnout for municipal elections is not new; historically, municipal elections have lower turnout than provincial and federal. This may be because people don’t realize the power municipal government has over their daily lives. Other issues that impact voter turn out include insufficient engagement between candidates and the public and lack of diversity in municipal politics. “Our municipal govern ment makes most of the decisions that affect everyone’s day to day life, so we’re trying to get people excited to go out and vote,” added Campeau. Libraries, parks, arts and culture, economic development, community water sys tems, local police and fire service, roadways and parking are just a few of the things that fall under municipal government.

Mental Illness Awareness

• Personality disorders (e.g. borderline personality disorder)

• Childhood disorders (e.g. attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder)

• Dementia (e.g. Alzheimer)

What do you think of when you hear that some one is experiencing a mental illness? Some people feel concern, fear, or confusion. Some even avoid those who experience mental illness es. But mental illnesses are just like any other illness: everyone deserves care, help, and support.

This year, Mental Illness Awareness Week is happening on October 2 – 9. This is a great opportunity to get to know more about mental illnesses, talk more about them and try to end the stigma attached to them.

What are mental illnesses?

Mental illnesses are health problems that affect the way we think about ourselves, relate to others, and interact with the world around us. They affect our thoughts, feelings, and behav iours. Mental illnesses can disrupt a person’s life or create challenges, but with the right sup ports, a person can get back on a path to recov ery and wellness.

Different mental illnesses Health profession als divide mental illnesses into several different groups based on signs or symptoms. Common groups of mental illnesses include:

• Anxiety disorders (e.g. panic disorder, phobias)

• Mood disorders (e.g. depression, bipolar disorder)

• Eating disorders (e.g. anorexia nervosa)

• Psychotic disorders (e.g. schizophrenia)

What can I do about it? Experiencing a men tal illness can be very distressing. You may won der if you’ll feel like yourself again. You may not know what’s happening to you, and you may worry about other people’s reactions. It’s import ant to know that it’s not your fault and it’s not a sign of weakness. It’s important to seek help early. Finding help early will get you on the road to recovery faster and may even reduce the risk of problems in the future.

Treatment often includes a few different approaches—for example, counselling, medica tion and self-care. Support groups can connect people with shared experiences. And there are many self-help strategies to try.

How can I help a loved one? When someone you love experiences a mental illness, you may have conflicting feelings. You may feel worried about their future, and feel relieved that the prob lem has a name. You may even wonder if you’ve done anything to cause their illness. These feel ings—and many more—are normal.

You can be an important person in your loved one’s recovery. Ask what you can do to help. Emotional support is important, but don’t forget about practical help with daily tasks, if needed. Remember to take care of yourself and find sup port, too. Contact your local CMHA branch (see below) to find resources in your community.

How can I make a difference in my commun ity? Mental illness affects everyone. People who experience a mental illness may face challenges

in their communities. Capable workers may not find good employment. Housing may come with restrictions or may be limited by inadequate income. Many challenges around living with a mental illness have to do with unfair attitudes and discrimination. You can make a difference by advocating for people who experience mental illnesses. Let leaders and policy-makers know that your community includes everyone, and support organizations that work to give every one a voice.

DO YOU NEED MORE HELP? Contact a com munity organization like the Canadian Mental Health Association to learn more about support and resources in your area.

The information provided is not a substitute for professional advice. If you need advice, please consult a qualified health care profes sional. For further information or if you want to access our services at CMHA, please call 1-800493-8271 or visit our web site at www.cmhaeast.on.ca

Autumn checklist: how to winterproof your house’s exterior

Whether or not you dread winter weather, one thing is certain: your home and garden need some protection. Here’s a list of tasks to get your home’s exterior winter-ready.

• CLEAR THE GUTTERS

Clean out the eavestroughs to enable good wa ter drainage. Ideally, wait until the trees have dropped all their leaves.

• SWEEP OUT THE CHIMNEY

A thorough chimney cleaning is essential for preventing chimney fires.

• INSPECT THE ROOF

Ensure your roof is in perfect condition. If you see any problems, don’t delay getting the ne cessary repairs.

• SEAL UP CRACKS

Sniff out any gaps in your foundations and walls and seal them up to prevent water from seeping in and doing some severe damage.

• SCREEN UP YOUR VENTS

Install screens on your vents to prevent small

Move potted plants indoors to protect them from the elements.

• PRUNE YOUR TREES

Trim away any tree limbs at risk of falling on your house in a violent gust. Likewise, get rid of any branches that could give pests access to your home.

• PUT SEASONAL ITEMS IN STORAGE

Put away patio furniture, barbecues, garde ning tools and garden hoses. Don’t forget to shut down water outlets.

• PREPARE YOUR FLOWER BEDS

Plant your fall bulbs, separate the perennials, remove weeds and annuals and then aerate and nourish the soil.

• CLEAN THE GROUNDS.

Rake and bag your dead leaves and clear out dead wood and any other material that could serve as a hiding place for pests.

Safe stairs for winter: 3 non-slip options

To keep you and your visitors safe during the win ter months, here are three materials that make exterior stairs less slippery.

1. RECYCLED RUBBER: Black tread covers made of recycled rubber are remarkably resistant to shocks, inclement weather, humidity, ultravio let rays, oil and mildew. They are easy to install, maintain and store. They can, however, be quite heavy.

2. POLYPROPYLENE FIBRE: array of colours and patterns, polypropylene fibre can be bought in mats or rolls. While this

product can stand up to heavy traffic, it should be treated against UV rays. To prevent see page, it has waterproof backing made of vinyl or rubber, which increases its durability.

3. COIR: This material, made of coconut fibre, typically comes in a natural ecru colour. It can give your exterior a unique look and works best on wood and concrete surfaces. The downside?

Coir tends to retain water and dust. In addition, if not installed well, it may become loose over time.

To learn which materials will work best on your

Winter home updates: do’s and don’ts

Everything has its right time and place, in cluding home renovations. If you want to update your home this winter, here’s a look at some recommended do’s and don’ts.

DO

Regardless of the weather, you can take care of these interior jobs:

• Paint the walls inside your home

• Renovate a whole room such as a kitchen, bathroom or living room

• Upgrade your electrical system

• Update your plumbing system

• Install new flooring

• Complete the addition you built in the summer

• Add insulation to interior walls and the foundation

DON’T

The following jobs shouldn’t be completed in winter because the outdoor temperature and seasonal storms could create complications. It’s best to avoid:

• Yard improvements

• Roof renovations

• Siding repairs

• Exterior paint jobs

• Garage replacements

• Addition installations

Do you have a renovation project in mind? To de velop your plan, work out the right timing and get the job done right, meet with a contractor in your area.

Prep your HOME for winter

5 indoor checks to make before winter hits

The comfort of a warm fireplace on a cold win ter’s night is like no other. However, you must complete a few tasks this fall to keep your home safe and secure through those long, cold mon ths. Use this guide to get your house’s interior ready to face Mother Nature’s fury.

1. HEATING SYSTEM

If you’re waiting until the first frost to ensure your heaters are in good working order, you may be in for a nasty surprise. Before turning on your heat sources, ensure they have at least 10 centimetres of clearance. Take this opportu nity to inspect and clean the units. Better yet, hire a professional to take care of it for you.

2. DOORS AND WINDOWS

Remove fly screens to prevent condensation

Check the window and door frames to ensure they’re tightly sealed. If ne cessary, caulk any vulnerable spots or replace the weatherstrip.

3. FIRE DETECTORS AND EXTIN GUISHERS

Check that your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors work by pressing the test button and listening for a beep. Replace the batteries if you haven’t done so recently. Ad ditionally, take a glance at your fire extinguishers and ensure the seal is still intact so they’re ready for action in case of emergency.

4. AIR EXCHANGER AND DUCTS

Give your air exchanger’s filters and screens a good washing to ensure you and your family breathe clean air all winter long. Moreover,

AIR CONDITIONER

vacuum out the air ducts to remove any dust that’s accumulated.

5. SUMP PUMP

Check that your sump pump is functioning cor rectly. To do so, gradually pour a bucket of wat er into the tank. The pump should immediately activate to clear out the water.

Carefully store your portable or window-mounted air conditioner to protect it from bad weather and dust accumulation. Before you put it away, remember to clean the filters.

right choice when purchasing one. Keep these tips in mind when shopping.

TYPE

The type of smoke alarm you choose must be authorized by your municipality and sui table for the location you’ll place it in your house. Here are your options:

• Ionization alarms are very sensitive and react to vapours and smoke in the air. This type of unit is best suited for bedrooms and hallways.

• Photoelectric devices are less sensitive to

bathrooms.

You can also purchase a strobe light smoke alarm. These units combine sound and light, making them ideal for people with hearing impairments.

POWER SUPPLY

There are two power supply options avai lable. It’s advisable to verify your municipali ty’s regulations before making a purchase.

• Battery-powered alarms are very common. However, you must remember to replace the battery regularly. Lithium batteries have

Electric units are connected directly to your home’s 120-volt current. However, you must invest in a backup battery to ensure the alarm operates as intended if there’s a power outage.

It’s a good idea to install more than one smoke alarm in your home and replace them every 10 years.

House fires affect thousands of families every year. Therefore, it’s essential to elimi nate potential hazards in your home to keep you and your family safe. This year, Fire Prevention Week takes place from Oc tober 9 to 15, and the occasion is an ideal time to brush up on your fire safety know ledge.

Here are four things in your home you might not know are flammable.

1. ORANGES contain a naturally occurring and flammable chemical called limonene. This sub stance is present in many cleaning products because it has a fresh scent and potent degreasing properties. Conse quently, you should avoid spritzing li monene-based cleaning products near fire sources like your stovetop.

2. HAND SANITIZER has become a household sta ple in recent years. However, it contains ethanol, which is a flammable ingredient.

Although small amounts of hand sanitizer don’t pose a fire hazard, it’s important to store and use it safely to minimize the risk.

3. NAIL POLISH REMOVER is made with flammable chemicals like acetone and ni trocellulose.

Therefore, you should always thoroughly wash your hands after using nail polish re mover. Ensure the container is tightly sea led and sto red in a cool, dry place when you put it away.

4. 9-VOLT BAT

TERIES have the potential to start

a fire. If these types of batteries touch metal, they can spark and ignite.

It’s best to store batteries in their original packaging or keep the tips covered with tape.

Fire safety starts with knowing the facts. Protect your family by learning about com mon hazards and taking steps to minimize them.

Tribal Council Declares September 30th “Every Child Matters Day”

AKWESASNE -- The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribal Council continues to join efforts to bring awareness and under standing on the dark chapters of Canadian and American hist ory that has left a traumatic scar across Indian Country. During this week’s work session, the Tribal Council signed Tribal Council Resolution 2022-42 to for mally declare September 30th of each year as “Every Child Matters Day” to bring atten tion to the ongoing legacy of Indian boarding schools.

Enacted in 1819 through the Civilization Fund Act, the federal government assisted missionaries and churches in the removal of Indigenous children from their families and communities in an attempt to assimi late them into western society. Some par ents unknowingly consented, as they were led to believe their children were going to receive a formal education, while some objected and had their child forcibly removed from their homes.

At distant schools, the children were intentionally isolated and stripped of every thing associated with their cultural identity; which included removal of their traditional clothing, cutting for the first time the long hair that they have known since birth, and being violently reprimanded for speaking their own Native language. Some endured far worse; as they were confined in small, dark spaces for long periods of time, were often raped and sexually abused, and countless numbers of innocent children were fatally punished -- never to come home again.

The Indigenous children who were fortun ate to survive and make their way home to their communities were victims of a federal extermination policy that sought to “Kill the Indian. Save the Man.” Removed from their

Indigenous heritage at a young age, those that returned no longer knew their traditional language, were unfamiliar with their community’s cus toms and cere monies, and struggled to feel once more their family’s affection.

The trauma inflicted upon children at Indian boarding schools continues to have a genera tional impact on many Indigenous communities. Academic scholars and researchers, as well as health officials, have identified the effort by the federal government to eradicate Indigenous Peoples through Indian boarding schools as a main contribu tor to many of the spiritual, mental, emo tional, and physical problems being experi enced today.

By declaring September 30th as “Every Child Matters Day” in the community of Akwesasne, the Tribal Council wishes that the day be used each year for remem brance, reflection, and reconciliation. They call upon humanity to open our hearts and to listen with open ears to our recounting of the history, stories of survivors and their families, and to remember those that didn’t make it home, as well as those who did and were never whole again.

The process of healing does not always come easy, but resources are available to help us through this painful part of history. If you need support, please call the National Residential School Crisis Line at 1-866925-4419, SRMT Mental Health at (518) 358-3145, or SRMT After Hours Crisis Center at (518) 651-4475. We are here to help each other.

September 30th was Truth & Reconciliation day, and in honour of the day, ACCFutures, Mohawk Council of Akwesasne and The City of Cornwall counselors and administrative worker met, where Eddie Gray of Haudenosaunee Everlasting Academy of Learnings told us the the story of Creation. As we work together now, it is important to reflect on our past and recognize how our actions affect each other. Let’s work towards a better tomorrow by acknowledging and learning from our past. Indian Residential Schools and the effects of colonization have caused trauma that lasts through many generations. Below are resources if you or someone you know needs help. Indian Residential School Survivors and Family Hotline: 1-866-925-4419 Crisis Services Canada: 1-833-456-4566 or text 45645. Kids Help Phone: 1-800-668-6868. First Nations and Inuit Hope for Wellness Help Line: 1-855-242-3310. Native Youth Crisis Hotline: 1-877-209-1266

Last week members of Council and staff gathered to raise the Every Child Matters or ange flag and to formally recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.To gether we will continue to listen, learn and support our neighbors as we do our part to participate in reconciliation.

SALES REPRESENTATIVE

You need to ask yourself many questions before delving in to that adventure and the best piece of advice I can give you as a Realtor® who has sold many commercial and investment properties throughout my career is, be prepared, do your homework first. This is not something you jump into blindly or on a whim.

First things first, are you financially ready? Do you have a down payment saved? Expect to put down at least 20%. Are you prepared to put money in to renovations or repairs so it can be rented? Can you afford to carry the mortgage until it is rented if it requires reno vations or repair? Are you prepared for the closing costs? Don`t forget insurance. There are so many things to consider financially, it can be incredibly overwhelming, and sitting down to speak with a mortgage specialist and your real estate agent is something I highly recommend.

Decide what type of property you want to invest in. Do your homework. There are quite

a few options available. Apartment buildings, Duplexes, Condos, etc. What will get you the best cash flow?

Location is key for your rental. Is it close to schools, businesses, and public transpor tation? What is the rental market like for this area?

The demand for housing has sky rocketed these past couple of years.

Educate yourself with the rules, the do`s and don`ts of being a landlord, there are many. Protect yourself; think of this as a busi ness. Screen potential clients. Obtain credit checks, ask for references and actually check with them. We have all heard of the night mare tenant stories who have multiple com plaints, destroy the property and even stop paying the rent. Be sure. Once you have found the right tenants, cultivate a relationship and try to hold on to them for as long as you can. Are you prepared to be responsive if some thing needs your attention? Building a rap port with a network of professionals is also to your advantage. Having that plumber, elec trician etc. that you trust and is quick to respond is good to have in your back pocket.

Owning investment properties can be a great investment towards your future and your retirement. Educate yourself and be prepared.

WDMH Leads Clinical Trials to Support Better Care

Winchester District Memorial Hospital’s (WDMH) research program has reached a new milestone – launching its first clinical trial to benefit patients.

“This is a major advancement in our research program,” explains Dr. Mohamed Gazarin, Chief Research Officer. “Clinical trials are a key research tool for advancing medical knowledge and patient care. The knowledge gained will support the treatment we will provide in the years to come.”

Clinical trails can provide positive impacts for many patients in the future, offering benefits such as new treatments or better drug options. Through rigorous testing, evidence-based trials ensure the solutions are safe and effective before they are used in clinical practice.

The first study, sponsored by Pfizer, is a threeyear clinical trial looking at heart disease. Heart disease is currently the second leading cause

NOTICES

of death within Canada, with an estimated 750,000 Canadians living with heart failure. In rural areas specifically, patients with heart fail ure may have a harder time accessing neces sary medical services.

WDMH is part of an international study to look at the prevalence of Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), which is a stiffening and thickening of the heart muscle. ATTR-CM leads to heart muscle dysfunction, cardiomyop athy, congestive heart failure, and death. It is believed that ATTR-CM is significantly underdiagnosed.

The primary purpose of this study is to assess how common ATTR-CM is among patients with heart failure, to estimate the global prevalence of ATTR-CM. To learn more about WDMH’s clinical trials, visit www.wdmh. on.ca/clinicaltrials or email research@wdmh. on.ca.

I am a lifelong resident of South Glengarry and had the honour of serving as a Councillor for two terms from 2010-2018. I grew up in Summerstown Station and after graduating from university I now live in Lancaster with my life Laura and my two sons Connor and William. I am currently a teacher in the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario.

I want to continue to promote and support infrastructure projects, agriculture, economic development, and recreation in the Township. Supporting our local businesses and local constituents, is what will allow the Township to grow and be a place where everyone wants to live and raise a family. We are truly blessed to have so many dedicated volunteers who help run events year-round and it is important we continue to help support them.

A detailed asset management plan is cru cial in forecasting upcoming infrastructure costs, to enable the Township to have a com petitive tax rate, while remaining fiscally responsible.

I would like to see the airport better utilised as it can be a self-sustaining asset. Our

THANKSGIVING MESSAGE

FROM THE EXECUTIVE

This past year has brought so much positive energy to our Association due to its desire to better the community in the east end. We are therefore grateful to those who have shown support in this regard.

Our focus has not been so much on advocating for new builds and expansion but rather on addressing well-known issues like aging and unsafe infra structure in the district.

The poor state of many old buildings, especially rentals, and vacant buildings pose a major threat to livability and dimin ishes civic pride. This wrong needs to be righted.

The Association is working closely on key issues with city officials including the Police Department and the Fire Department.

Our mantra to city administration, the mayor and council bears repeating: Please lend your full support to this area of town which has traditionally been over looked, undervalued and underserved.

Thank you in advance for approving a budget that would include sufficient resources so that our mandate of achiev ing a clean, safe, healthy and law-abiding district is realized.

Renaissance Association Executive Mark MacDonald, Chair

Leo Doucet NEWS FROM THE SQUARE

Did you know that with the Fall season now upon us, the mall’s 100+ Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning units that sit on the mall’s roof need to be switched over from cooling to heating as we start the period of colder nights and days. We here at the mall try to maintain an ambient tem perature of 70 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit or 20 degrees Celsius.

Did you know that Jewelry stores rarely need heat in their stores due to the amount of lighting they have in the store and lighting generates heat.

Did you know that Peoples Jewelers is having a fund raiser for Baldwin House on this coming weekend October 8th and 9th in their store. In addition to the Baldwin House fundraiser, Peoples Jewelers is also having a HUGE Clearance Event this week end. Come and check out the deals and support Baldwin House.

This coming weekend is the Thanksgiving long weekend. It is a time when people bring an end to their summer activities that began on the May 24th long weekend, it is the unofficial end to the summer season. More importantly it is a weekend for families to get together and celebrate all that they can be thankful for in their lives. We here at Cornwall Square wish you a joyous weekend of connecting with friends and family in an atmosphere of gratitude and

festivity. The mall will be closed on Thanksgiving Monday so that all 150+ people who work at Cornwall Square can share the day with their friends and family.

Did you know that, in the shopping cen tre industry, the day after thanksgiving is the kickoff to the “BIG SEASON”, starting with the push for Halloween and its family oriented activities such as trick or treating at the mall, a trend that is growing as residents can enjoy a family outing where weather is not a factor and both children and their parents can get into costume and come to a safe environment to share in the excitement of trick or treating indoors and together during the daytime prior to the actual evening rush of going door to door in the neighbourhood where they live. Once again, Cornwall Square will hold its Halloween Trick or Treat (mostly Treat) day, this year on Sunday October 30th from 12:30pm to 4:00pm.

Just a reminder that The Cornwall ROAD WARRIORS Car Club will pay a return visit to Cornwall Square in 10 days, on the week end of October15th and 16th. As in the case of the previous Cornwall Road Warriors car show, the club’s vehicles will occupy the common area on the main floor of the mall.

Just a reminder that the Cornwall Art Hive will return to Cornwall Square on this coming Saturday October 8th from 1:00pm to 3:00pm with its Art4All in the Mall pro gram in the East Court in front of Dollarama.

Remember, shop indoors, shop The Square, and support your local merchants that make up Cornwall’s retail sector.

Laughter was the best medicine last Friday night. A full house at the Best Western helped raise money to help David Murphy cover costs of battling cancer. Such a great night! Thank you everyone. Dan Allaire you did a great job.

Un message du Dr Paul sur la COVID-19 et d’autres maladies respiratoires à l’arrivée de l’automne

Maintenant qu’est arrivé l’automne et le début de la période des maladies respira toires, j’ai voulu prendre un moment pour discuter de l’état de la pandémie de COVID19 et de quelques précautions que nous pouvons tous prendre pour empêcher qu’elle se propage pendant l’automne et l’hiver, en plus des autres maladies respiratoires.

Mise à jour sur les cas de COVID-19 et la gestion des contacts

Comme vous le savez probablement, le ministère de la Santé de l’Ontario a récem ment actualisé ses directives visant les per sonnes qui ont soit présenté des symptômes de la COVID-19, testé positif à la COVID-19, ou été en contact étroit avec une personne qui a la COVID-19.

Directives visant les personnes présentant des symptômes

Afin de prévenir la propagation de la COVID19 et des autres virus respiratoires comme le rhume ou la grippe, la Province indique maintenant aux personnes présentant des symptômes de la COVID-19 de rester à la mai son pendant qu’elles sont malades, quels que soient les résultats d’un test. Dès que leurs symptômes se sont améliorés depuis 24 heures (dans le cas de symptômes res piratoires) ou 48 heures (advenant des symptômes gastrointestinaux), ces per sonnes peuvent sortir de chez elles mais doivent continuer à porter un masque pen dant 10 jour depuis le moment où elles sont tombées malades. Elles doivent également éviter les visites non essentielles aux per sonnes vulnérables ou dans les endroits à risque élevé tels que les établissements de soins de longue durée pendant 10 jours.

Directives visant les personnes sans symptômes

Les personnes qui ont obtenu un résultat de test positif à la COVID-19, mais qui n’ont pas de symptômes ne sont plus obligées de s’isoler. Cependant, elles doivent porter un masque lorsqu’elles se trouvent en public et éviter les personnes vulnérables et les endroits à risque élevé pendant 10 jours depuis l’obtention du résultat positif au test. Si la situation évolue et qu’elles présentent des symptômes, elles doivent s’isoler immédiatement.

Directives visant les contacts étroits

Les personnes qui sont exposées à un cas confirmé de COVID-19 ne sont plus obligées de s’isoler, quel que soit leur statut vaccinal. Elles doivent cependant porter un masque pendant 10 jours depuis leur dernière expos ition et éviter les visites non essentielles aux personnes vulnérables ou dans les endroits à risque élevé. Encore une fois, elles doivent s’isoler immédiatement si elles présentent des symptômes.

Tenir à jour votre vaccination contre la COVID-19

Une vaccination anti-COVID-19 à jour demeure la meilleure façon de se protéger

ainsi que ceux qui nous entourent, contre des maladies graves causées par la COVID-19. Plus le nombre de personnes qui se tiennent à jour est élevé, plus il sera possible de prévenir la transmission de la COVID-19 dans nos communautés et de protéger les plus vulnérables, telles les personnes dans les foyers de soins de longue durée et les maisons de retraite.

Combinés à d’autres mesures de précau tion telles que faire un dépistage quotidien des symptômes, se laver les mains souvent et rester à la maison en cas de maladie, les vaccins aident également à diminuer le far deau pour notre système de santé et à protéger les membres de la communauté les plus vulnérables.

Le vaccin de rappel bivalent contre la COVID-19

Les vaccins bivalents offrent une protec tion contre la souche originale de la COVID-19 ainsi que du variant BA.1 d’Omicron. Les résultats de recherche préliminaires indi quent que les vaccins bivalents protègeront également contre les sous-variants BA.4 et BA.5 d’Omicron. Le vaccin bivalent de rappel contre la COVID-19 est maintenant disponible pour tous les Ontariens âgés de 18 ans et plus.

Vaccins contre la COVID-19 pour les enfants

Je souhaite aussi rappeler aux parents que faire vacciner leurs enfants contre la COVID19 peut aider à prévenir la maladie grave et la longue COVID, surtout parmi les plus vul nérables. Une série primaire de vaccins antiCOVID-19 est disponible aux enfants âgés de 6 mois à 4 ans, et les enfants de 5 à 11 ans ont maintenant accès à un vaccin de rappel comme troisième dose.

Un regard optimiste vers l’avenir

Enfin, je désire remercier tout le monde parmi vous d’avoir fait votre part pour assurer la sécurité de vos proches et de nos com munautés pendant la pandémie. Il n’y a pas de doute – ce fut une période difficile. Cependant, la situation aujourd’hui est bien différente de ce qu’elle était au début de 2020. Les vaccinations et les infections naturelles ont mené à une plus forte immun ité communautaire. Nous avons également accès à des traitements antiviraux pour prévenir la maladie grave parmi les per sonnes vulnérables qui contractent la COVID19. Bien que la pandémie ne soit pas encore terminée, je suis heureux de dire que grâce à toutes les couches de protection et les mesures de précaution mentionnées ci-des sus, nous sommes bien équipés pour rester dans la voie qui nous mènera vers une vie plus normale.

Soyez prudent, Dr Paul Roumeliotis, MD, CM, MPH, FRCP(C), CCPE

4 idées de déjeuners sur le pouce

Vous êtes toujours pressé, ou votre faim ne commence à se manifester que lorsque vous êtes rendu au travail? Voici quatre suggestions de déjeuners « sur le pouce » à la fois soutenants et délicieux!

1. Le gruau savoureux : flocons d’avoine, petits fruits frais, yogourt et graines (de chia, de citrouille, de lin, de tournesol, etc.) se mélangent fort bien et font un déjeuner équilibré. Ajoutez un filet de sirop d’érable pour une agréable note sucrée!

2. Le muffin consistant : graines, noix et fruits séchés sont des ingrédients parfaits

tenir le coup jusqu’au dîner!

4. Le roulé nourrissant : des œufs tes, des épinards et du fromage enroulés dans une tortilla de blé entier font un déjeuner exquis et facile à

5 astuces pour réussir ses gaufres maison

Qu’importe comment elles sont servies, que ce soit avec du sirop, un coulis de choc olat, de la confiture ou en sandwich gour mand, les gaufres sont toujours excellentes au déjeuner! Pour les réussir à tout coup, voici cinq astuces à l’efficacité éprouvée.

1. Remplacez le lait

Obtenez des gaufres plus croustillantes à l’extérieur, mais moelleuses à l’intérieur en changeant le lait pour de l’eau, de l’eau pétil lante… ou de la bière!

2. Montez les blancs d’œufs en neige Incorporez délicatement la préparation de blancs d’œufs à la pâte juste avant la cui sson pour réaliser des gaufres légères à souhait.

3. Préchauffez votre gaufrier

Un appareil muni d’un témoin lumineux vous indique quand il est suffisamment

chaud. Autrement, la chaleur est adéquate lorsqu’une goutte d’eau grésille et s’évapore au bout de 2 à 3 secondes.

4. Graissez les plaques

À moins d’avoir des plaques de cuisson antiadhésives, badigeonnez celles-ci d’huile ou de beurre fondu. En plus d’éviter que la pâte ne colle au revêtement, vous obtiendrez des gaufres moins sèches.

5. Respectez le temps de cuisson

Selon les gaufriers, la durée de cuisson peut varier de 3 à 5 minutes. Pour certains modèles, un témoin lumineux indique que la gaufre est prête. Dans le cas contraire, la cuisson est terminée lorsqu’il n’y a plus de vapeur qui se dégage de l’appareil. Pour un résultat uniforme, utilisez un gaufrier révers ible et retournez-le à la mi-cuisson.

Bon déjeuner!

Innovation sociale et inclusion - Une friperie gratuite à Cornwall !

Déjà 175 familles et individu.e.s ont bénéficié de la Friperie de l’ACFO SDG. Source, Cornwall, 29 septembre 2022: En novembre 2021, l’ACFO SDG a innové en créant sa friperie gratuite pour répondre aux besoins des familles vulnérables ou nouvellement arrivées dans la région. Très vite, la générosité de la commun auté a fait déborder le local de la rue Chevrier.

Trop petit, il fallait trouver une solution durable.

Deux mois plus tard, une enseignante de l’école secondaire La Citadelle, Joëlle Perras, contactait l’ACFO SDG pour développer un pro jet communautaire. Pour la directrice générale, Céline Baillargeon-Tardif, c’était une évidence : en mettant à disposition un local dans l’école, la communauté profiterait d’une friperie access ible et centrale et les élèves de la classe TSA seraient impliqués directement dans une initia tive d’impact. La friperie connait un franc suc cès. Durant l’été, l’école a mis à disposition un nouveau local plus grand et l’ACFO SDG a équipé la friperie en matériel commercial.

Depuis c’est plus de 175 familles et individus qui ont été desservis et ce, grâce à une mobilisation extraordinaire de la communauté, des élèves impliqués et plus de 30 bénévoles engagés.

« Avec l’aide de bénévoles et de notre équi pe, depuis des années nous rencontrons les familles dès leur arrivée dans la région et nous leur remettons le répertoire des ressources en français pour qu’elles découvrent tous les ser vices à leur portée. Maintenant, avec l’aide des jeunes, de l’école et de la communauté, la friperie de l’ACFO SDG a réellement pignon sur rue et continue de fournir des biens de première nécessité. Rappelons-nous que tous les dons changent la vie des personnes qui en ont beso in » de souligner Mme Denise Dumais, respon sable bénévole et vice-présidente de l’ACFO SDG.

« Notre région accueille de plus en plus de réfugié.e.s et d’immigrant.e.s. En collaboration avec plusieurs partenaires et collaborateurs, l’ACFO SDG accueille de nouvelles familles, mobilise des bénévoles, distribue des biens et participe activement au réseau pour s’assurer

que ces nouveaux membres de notre commun auté puissent s’intégrer pleinement dans Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry. La friperie totalement gratuite est importante et nous en sommes tellement fiers car c’est une pratique solidaire intergénérationnelle rassembleuse qui a de l’impact » de mentionner M Jean-Yves Lemoine, président de l’ACFO SDG.

« Quelle belle occasion d’avoir un partenariat communautaire fort avec les élèves et ainsi leur permettre d’être dans l’action scolaire et dans l’action communautaire. Ce projet nous permet d’aider différentes familles qui vont créer notre communauté de demain » de com menter Mme Marie-Josée Larocque, directrice adjointe de l’école La Citadelle.

Appel à la communauté! L’ACFO SDG, organ isme rassembleur dans la communauté, con tinue de développer ses partenariats avec les organismes de la région. « Nous sommes heureux de renouveler notre partenariat avec la Commission de Formation de l’Est de l’Ontario pour une collecte de manteaux d’hiver afin de desservir les nouveaux arrivants présentement au Dev Center » de souligner Céline BaillargeonTardif, directrice générale.

Dès maintenant, venez déposer vos man teaux d’hiver à l’ACFO SDG au 146 C avenue Chevrier, Cornwall.

La Friperie de l’ACFO SDG est une innovation sociale qui s’inscrit dans le projet de société inclusive de Cornwall SDG. Si vous voulez faire des dons à la friperie, contactez-nous à l’ACFO SDG : 613 833 9104.
