Hope 3 MINUTES WITH THE MAYOR

BERNADETTE CLEMENT CITY OF CORNWALL

I wish I could say that I feel hopeful every day, but this has been an incredibly challenging year. My mother passed away last month after 87 years of blessing this earth with quiet strength and ever-present kindness.

Thank you to all who have kept my family in your prayers. Thank you for the cards, flowers, and meals. Our community teaches me every day how to find hope.

Spring is around the corner, and the sunshine helps.

I know this community is feeling a bit of hope, as more and more of our neighbours are receiving their COVID-19 vaccine.

At the time of writing this column, the vaccine is available to all Eastern Ontario Health Unit residents over the age of 75. I want to make sure you know that some groups of people are also eligible:

• Informal caregivers who provide care to family, their spouse, or a friend over the age of 75 • Adult recipients of chronic home care • Indigenous people living off reserve aged 55 and over, and Indigenous people living on reserve aged 18 and over.

Visit eohu.ca for more information.

I’ve been proud to see City staff actively involved in vaccine clinics. Whether they’re working behind the scenes to organize logistics, or volunteering to direct clients when they arrive, or giving the vaccine (I see you, Cornwall SDG Paramedics), these folks are making us proud.

It has been more than a year since cruise ship passengers arrived at the NAV Centre.

We have experienced it all: fear, confusion, loneliness. But hope returns, even briefly, no matter how difficult the latest challenge has been.

The third wave will again test our resilience, but hope returns. With each vaccination, hope grows.

Take care and stay safe.

You can always reach me at bclement@cornwall.ca or find me on Facebook.

Bernadette Clement, Mayor of Cornwall

The Easter Bunny watches as Zoey and Madison Wright make their way back to Mom Kelly and Dad Andrew during the visit from E.B. in the Bunny Garden at Cornwall Square Mall on Saturday April 3. Carol Goddard photo.

Spreading Easter Joy CAROL GODDARD, SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS CORNWALL, Ontario – There were smiles on people faces as the Easter Bunny (E.B.) made an appearance in the “Bunny Garden” at the Cornwall Square Mall (CSM) on Saturday April 3. Leo Doucet, CSM Property Manager, explained the display was set up to provide visual enhancement to the location.

After learning from staff how the Easter Bunny had made spring-time visits to the mall in the past, the decision was made to “add

a bit of joy” to the season once again. He continued all COVID-19 regulations were to be followed during the visit, including physical distancing, cleaning and mask wearing.

The Easter Bunny was provided with a mask and located within a fenced in area which Doucet stated would allow for at least two meters between him and visitors to the mall. Children coming to see the Easter Bunny were provided with a free colouring book and adults were able to enter a draw for a Laura Secord basket full of Easter treats, with the draw to be held on Monday, April 5.

The survey for the strategic plan is available in English and French on the CPS’ website.

Spowart said that members of the CPS were also working to engage members of the city’s population who might not otherwise engage with their survey by making them available in hard copy at each police station, taking them to areas where they believe there would not usually be high engagement, and will soon be sending out text message notifications to resident’s phones encouraging them to complete the survey.

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Police Service (CPS) is currently in the process of formulating their 2021-2023 Strategic Plan.

A goal of their new Strategic Plan is that it be reflective of the community that CPS serves.

“The Cornwall Police Service strives to serve our community in an inclusive and equitable way,” reads a statement from Deputy Chief of Police, Shawna Spowart. “The consultation process will identify the diverse needs of those we serve and ensure the alignment of our strategic priorities.”

In an update to the Police Services Board on Thursday, April 1, 2021, Spowart said that

so far the survey had received over 1,000 respondents.

Spowart explained of the responses, 92 were from individuals who identified as something other than Caucasian, 94 identified as being something other than heterosexual, and over 90 identified as having a disability.

“We wanted the response to our surveys to be reflective of the community we serve,” Spowart said. “We’re really quite excited on the progress so far and the commitment from our officers has been exceptional.”

In addition to asking questions about the respondent’s race, sexuality, and whether or not they have a disability, the survey also asks respondents for their level of education, their level of household income, where in the city they live, their perception of the level of crime

Cornwall’s two bag garbage limit goes into effect nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The City of Cornwall lowered their garbage bag limit for residential properties to two bags, or one garbage can as of Monday, April 5, 2021.

The new bag limit is the culmination of a phased in bag limit program that began in April of 2018 with a six bag limit. In October of 2020, the bag limit was dropped to four.

The bag limit system was introduced with the goal of diverting as much waste as possible away from the landfill. In 2018, the City of Cornwall Council heard that the Cornwall landfill had about 12 years of life left in it, with costs just of closing the landfill estimated at over $36 million.

The City of Cornwall has also undertaken a series of other initiatives aimed at reducing the amount of waste that gets sent to the landfill, including opening their free store at the landfill site, where used items that are still in fair condition can be taken by residents who want them.

Last month, the City also updated the amount of items and types of items that can be recycled to include the following: grocery bags (except black), bread bags, milk bags, freezer bags, produce bags, cereal box liners, dry cleaner bags, cling wrap, newspaper bags (with newspaper removed), and apple or carrot bags.

To accommodate residents who’s weekly waste exceeds the two bag/ one can limit, the City has allowed for exemptions for those who

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) announced on Friday, April 2 that it was opening vaccination appointments to residents of the region aged 70 and over.

Anyone who books an appointment for a vaccination will be given the date for their first and second doses of the vaccine. According to latest EOHU guidelines, the time between the first and second doses of the vaccine is now 16 weeks.

The EOHU is asking residents to pre-register for their appointment on their website: https://eohu.ca/en/covid/ welcome-to-the-eohu-online-covid-19-vaccination-pre-registration-portal Appointments can be made either by an individual, their family member, or by their caregiver. The EOHU states that pre-registering allows for quicker bookings of appointments based on the supply of vaccine in the region.

Those who would like to book their appointment directly can do so on the province of Ontario’s vaccine website: https://covid-19.ontario. ca/book-vaccine/ Residents who are having difficulties with the online booking tool may call 1-888-999-6488.

“The EOHU appreciates that there is keen interest in receiving the vaccine,” reads a statement from the EOHU. “At this time, however, only eligible individuals can schedule an appointment. We ask the public to please help us keep the online tools and phone lines available for those who are eligible to book an appointment. Cooperation from the public will go a long way to help ensure local vaccination clinics can operate efficiently and effectively.

Vaccination appointments also remain open for those in Phase 1 vaccination populations which include Indigenous residents, healthcare workers, long-term care workers, essential care givers, long-term care residents and residents who receive chronic at-home care.

“If you have a family member or provide care to someone who was born in 1951 or before, please encourage them to get vaccinated,” the EOHU statement reads. “Vaccinations will be available BY APPOINTMENT ONLY at vaccine clinics being held across the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry; the United Counties of Prescott-Russell; and the City of Cornwall. Alternate arrangements will be made for individuals who notify us of barriers preventing them from physically going to a clinic.”

The EOHU is asking residents to continue to observe public health precautions. On Thursday, April 1, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a 28-day lockdown across the province with strict public health restrictions.

Those who would like to petition for such an exemption can email the City for an application form at wm@cornwall.ca This month the City of Cornwall also announced that diapers are also exempt from the bag limit. Diapers put into clear plastic bags and left out with other garbage bags will not count towards the two bag limit.

Those who still find themselves exceeding the two bag limit can purchase bag tags that can be attached to additional garbage bags beyond the limit. Bag tags are sold in sheets of 10 for $15 each and are available at the following locations: City Hall – 360 Pitt Street

Cornwall Chamber partners with Choice Taxi to get residents to vaccine appointments NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall and Area Chamber of Commerce has been given $10,000 in funding from Ontario Power Generation (OPG) to launch Project GoVax. GoVax is a partnership between the Chamber and Choice Taxi to get residents to and from their COVID-19 vaccination appointments free of charge.

“When we were approached by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and Ontario Power Generation to find a way to help more people get the vaccine, we were thrilled to be a part of the project,”said Greg Pietersma, Executive Director of the Cornwall and Area Chamber of Commerce. “We would like to thank the OCC and OPG for making this project possible, which will help us on the path to get the economy open again.”

GoVax is available to residents of Cornwall,

Martintown, Lancaster, and Ingleside who have booked a COVID-19 vaccination appointment.

“The Cornwall community has been our home for more than 60 years and we want to ensure that as few barriers exist as possible for residents to obtain the vaccine,” said Scott Gagnon, OPG’s Work Centre Manager for the R.H. Saunders generating station. “We are pleased to support this door-to-door initiative for Cornwall and area residents.”

Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) Medical Officer of Health Dr. Paul Roumeliotis endorsed the idea.

“One of our important priorities during the COVID vaccination effort is to ensure equitable access to the vaccine for all our residents, especially given the size of our mostly rural region,” comments Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health at the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU). “This support will

help to improve access to COVID immunization by removing the barriers of distance and/ or lack of transportation in these areas.”

To book a ride with Project GoVax call Choice Taxi at (613) 938-8899 and request a ride.

Residents must book their COVID-19 vaccination appointment prior to getting a ride through Project GoVax. Appointments can be booked online at https://covid-19.ontario.ca/ book-vaccine/ and select a vaccination location in Cornwall. At time of writing, COVID-19 vaccination appointments are being accepted for those aged 75 and older, First Nations people living off reserve aged 55 and older, long-term care facility employees, health care workers, or adults receiving chronic at-home care.

“Ontario’s business community is working proactively in the fight against COVID- 19. On behalf of the Ontario Vaccination Support Council and our Co-chairs from Bruce Power

and Facebook Canada, we would like to thank our Council Member, Ontario Power Generation, for their generosity, and the Cornwall and Area Chamber of Commerce for their leadership on this important project,” said Rocco Rossi, President and CEO, Ontario Chamber of Commerce. “The Council now leverages membership of over 250 businesses, universities, colleges, associations, and labour unions from across the province looking to provide support to all 34 public health units to accelerate vaccination efforts. The faster the Ontario population is inoculated, the faster we can safely reopen and work together on the province’s economic recovery.”

Residents of Cornwall who have their COVID19 vaccination form can also present their form when taking Cornwall Transit to receive a free ride to their appointment.

UCDSB talks equity and inclusion SANDY CASSELMAN, LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER

MORRISBURG, Ontario – The topic of equity and inclusion played a large part in the most recent Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) meeting.

During the March 24 virtual event, superintendent of schools David Coombs presented an update for the 2018-2020 installment of UCDSB’s Equity and Inclusion Plan, which included a summary of results, as well as suggestions for next steps. He said his last update to the board was March 13, 2020, just before the first COVID-19 pandemic lockdown was announced.

“I would say that the pandemic has really

highlighted the importance of equity and inclusion, and I would say certainly coming out of the pandemic, in a post-pandemic world, equity and inclusion will be a critical element in the success of our students and to this board,” Coombs said.

Among the seven key deliverables listed for the 2018-2020 plan, only two were listed as completed: review and establish self-reflection and self-assessment tools to determine the effectiveness of the school’s equity and inclusive education plans and procedures; and implement a procedure for the support and accommodation of transgender and gender non-conforming students. The remaining five deliverables are all listed as “progressing.”

As for next steps, Coombs recommended an external review of UCDSB’s policies, procedures, and practices “through an equity and inclusion lens.” He noted that the process of hiring an external reviewer is already underway and the plan is for the results to be used in defining the board’s 2021-2023 Equity and Inclusion Plan.

Trustee Corina Parisien, one of only two women on the 10-person board, asked how the board could improve diversity. Coombs said many boards are already spending significant time on this issue and he believes that hiring an external reviewer is the best place to start, as it will give a “good outside viewpoint of us.”

The discussion ended with comments from

board chair John McAllister: “As enlightened as I think I am, I’m aware of my own ignorance to a certain extent on the complexities that are involved in this whole thing. I’m extremely pleased that our policies are updated and current. We are gathering data based on our surveys. We sometimes don’t know what we don’t know, and if we listen, we’ll learn more. So, we are listening. Our antennas are raised to a heightened extent right now, and we are availing ourselves of various resources. We are prepared to act and this external review, I think, is an excellent opportunity. I think we are on the right track.”

‘Progress’ is sometimes a four-letter word Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

Here’s the way it was in the Douglas DC-3 era, starting after the end of WW II. The airport terminal was a rather friendly place, quite modest in size. No security checks, as the war had put an end to the Axis powers. They were the last terrorists to have been at the receiving end of bomb threats. Avro Lancasters and B-24 Liberators did the delivering. Carry-on liquids were regarded as refreshments, not a way of concealing an explosive. Air travel was becoming within the reach of many, rather than an elite few.

About 15-minutes after your arrival in the waiting room, you were asked to exit the terminal via the only door to the ramp, then stroll to the waiting DC-3. Its one aisle has two seats on both sides. That means everyone is next to an aisle or window seat. The sedate 250 mph cruising speed at about 3,500’ offers opportunities for gazing at the scenery. Sometimes

there were clouds above, sometimes some below and occasionally your plane (possibly a C-47 that had been refurbished to become a like-new DC-3) had to make its way through complete cloud cover. Yes, sometimes the ride was a bit bumpy.

Upon arrival at your destination airport, Key West, the aircraft taxis from the end of the 3,000’ single runway to the terminal.

With a cheery voice, the stewardess smiles, saying “I hope you enjoyed flying with us today!” She says it only once, as all 26 passengers are close enough to hear it at the same time. The 27th passenger was an excited seven-year-old who had been allowed to be in the cockpit for most of the flight.

It takes only five-minutes to retrieve your one-piece of luggage. You board a shuttle bus for the ten-minute ride downtown.

What you have just read is a one-sided interpretation of the romance of air travel of the past. It definitely has a ‘good old days’ bias. Next week I’ll offer the au contraire point of view of that era. In the meantime, I’d be pleased to receive your take on air travel, past, present or future.

HISTORY

MORRISBURG, Ontario – The municipality of South Dundas has officially upgraded its Memorial Bench Program to include Memorial Trees.

While the bylaw was passed during the March 22 council meeting, director of environmental services Danielle Watson introduced the issue during the Feb. 22 meeting. She said the municipality had received many requests from residents to include trees in the program. Staff then looked at similar programs in neighbouring townships and created an updated draft policy for South Dundas politicians to consider.

“I think this is an amazing addition,” deputy mayor Kirsten Gardner said. “I think that it’s twofold. It builds community engagement, but it also will replenish some of the trees we’ve lost through emerald ash borer.”

With unanimous support from council in February, Watson formalized the new policy,

bringing it back to council with a new bylaw in March. Under the new policy, staff will keep a list of existing trees and benches, as well as a list of available spaces for potential additions.

Donors must apply to the program, following the guidelines set out in the new policy.

In some cases, a donor may pay for a new bench or tree and/or plaque, but in others, it may be possible to simply purchase a plaque for an existing tree or bench.

Purchases are to be done through the municipal office to ensure materials are consistent throughout the township.

All memorials will stay in place for a 10-year period with an opportunity to renew.

South Dundas is responsible for maintaining the benches and trees.

“I like the whole idea. I think it’s really great,” Coun. Archie Mellan said at the February meeting.

Lockdown is punishing restaurants more than schools NICK SEEBRUCH

6 - Wednesday, April 7, 2021

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

With cases of COVID-19 rapidly rising across the province the Premier pulled the “emergency brake” and put all public health unit regions into a month-long lockdown this past Saturday.

Unlike previous lockdowns however, this one seems a little weak sauce to me and I’ve heard from multiple people that they aren’t sure how to react and that goes for residents and business owners.

In previous lockdowns, schools were closed, and students were sent home. The province issued a stay-athome order with the last two lockdowns. It was very clear how serious things were and what the province wanted us to do.

This time however, schools are remaining open, except in the Peel Region, where they announced that in fact they were going to close schools.

Also, there is no stay-at-home order.

The lack of a stay-at-home order makes this lockdown feel discretionary rather than a serious thing that the province is trying to impress upon us.

Also, while students are being allowed to go back to school, restaurants are not being allowed to have either indoor or outdoor dining. The local numbers however, do not support this move by the province to keep schools open and punish restaurants.

According to the EOHU, of COVID-19 cases that they have tracked since September of 2020, 46 per cent were transmitted between persons living in the same household, eight per cent were in congregate living settings, and two per cent were the result of travel. The remaining 44 per cent of cases came from spread in the community. Of that community spread

number more than half of those cases were from schools, while just seven per cent were from restaurants.

So, why are restaurants not allowed to have indoor or even outdoor dining? The local restaurants I have been to over the course of the pandemic have been extremely careful, and I’ve felt very safe eating outdoors on patios.

Even before the pandemic running a restaurant was not an easy endeavor and now they are being asked to operate without their main source of income. Rent and staff still need to be paid. No restaurant’s business model is sustainable when their seats are empty.

According to Canadian Industry Statistics, the average net profits for a mid-sized restaurant business in 2019 was just $22,000 for the year.

For lower-mid sized to small restaurants, their net profits were even lower at $4,200 and negative $5,400 respectively.

Ultimately, the whole point of this emergency brake lockdown was to get people’s attention, and get them to take this third wave of the pandemic seriously to save lives, but, it is hard for people to take this pandemic seriously if the province’s actions aren’t backed up by the data.

In this case, the data shows that schools are far more likely to be a source of infection than a restaurant.

I think that the main reason why schools are still open, but restaurants have had to have their dining rooms closed is political. This summer we will be about one year away from the next provincial election, and the Progressive Conservatives want to keep parents as happy as they can in hopes that they will turn out to the polls for them. I think that the PCs would have better luck if they backed

up their decisions with real data and focused on getting more vaccines into people’s arms.

We should be taking this third wave seriously. Due to the province’s less than stellar roll out there are still many who are not vaccinated. This is still a relatively new virus and our immune systems

are not built to fight it. Lives can be saved by taking this pandemic seriously which makes going through this lockdown worth it.

Share the Road Dear Editor, As a person who cycles all year as my primary mode of transportation (not just recreation) I feel compelled to respond to the driver’s criticism of cyclists in the Scuttlebutt of March 31.

Cyclists are exposed constantly to a myriad of infractions committed by drivers. If only the CPS could witness half of what we see! If a cyclist is to avoid being struck by a car, she/he must really pay attention while being creative in the use of the pavement that is available to her/him whether it be sidewalks, parking lots or going the wrong way on one-way streets.

Here is a short list of serious annoyances that cyclists must deal when sharing the road with cars but that car drivers do not experience with cyclists. a) Horn – much louder when experienced by a cyclist as by another driver. At close range this can be very frightening whether directed at the cyclist or at someone else.

Exhaust fumes – from older vehib) cles and/or vehicles that have been tampered with to produce the greatest amount

of smoke and stink.

Noise – cosmetic mufflers sysc) tems are everywhere and many actually cause pain to the ears. d) Drivers who intentionally intimidate cyclists – dangerous and extremely annoying.

Two other facts that this person needs to keep in mind: there are NO streets in Cornwall that prohibit bicycles, and there aren’t any ‘bicycle’ paths. There are recreational trails, but these are usually useless to someone using their bicycle for utilitarian purposes. There are also bicycle lanes as on Second St. or Sydney St. that are for the exclusive use of bicycles provided that there aren’t any vehicles parked there and you don’t mind living with the threat of being ‘doored’ by someone getting out of a parked car.

The tone of this driver’s comments reflects a very carcentric attitude that makes the idea of ‘share the road’ an unattainable ideal.

One of the tremendous acts of mercy was a decision made by the Cornwall Collegiate Board in April 1965.

The board voted to put an end to publishing final examination marks in the Standard-Freeholder, usually published the second week of July.

That is how students, and every S-F reader, were told how well they did, or didn’t do.

The trustees agreed that the practice – nobody knew why it had gone on for so long – was an infringement on the personal rights of the individual (aka student).

Gee, do you think so!

Said one trustee, “Bad grades are embarrassing enough (for student and parents) without the whole world knowing.”

Perhaps he was speaking from personal experience.

On the flip side, a local businessman, father of a nerdy but brainy kid, told the Standard-Freeholder he supported the publication of marks. “I’m more than proud to see my son’s results in the paper.”

Meanwhile, another dinner table conversation might have been along the lines of, “Do you think this makes your mother and I proud?”

For some reason, the day the marks were published the newspaper received an unusual number of calls from customers (aka parents) who said the paper was missing from the mail box. *********** While city council’s decision in April 1965 to build three pools was welcomed with open arms by two of the neighbourhoods – Ste. Therese and Kinsmen – that wasn’t the case with a handful of stuffed shirts in Riverdale.

A petition signed by 90 residents, most of whom lived near Riverdale Park, opposed the pool.

The petition presented to the parks and recreation committee complained that the pool would attract “mobs of young people day and night” and give the kids more “opportunity” to get into trouble.

The petitioners feared that property values near the park would drop and called the pool an “expensive luxury” that was not needed since most kids in Riverdale had access to Long Sault Parkway beaches and cottages. Some even had their own backyard pools. And, of course, there was Cornwall Canal.

Committee chair Ald. Larry Keen, who represented Ward 6 that included Riverdale, called the residents who

signed the petition “selfish.” There were harsher names he could have used but Keen was a gentleman.

Keen noted that he had 200 calls from Riverdale residents who supported the pool.

Committee member Dave Courville, a high school teacher and SLHS football coach, agreed with Keen’s assessment of the protesters and praised the pool proposal.

The committee gave city council the green light to build the pool. The next day a “For Sale” sign went up on the lawn of one of the residents who lived across the street and organized the anti-pool petition.

THIS WEEK CIRCA 1965 – The Ontario government was considering replacing the United Counties and township councils with a regional government. Services that would fall under the regional umbrella would be policing, health boards, police and fire. It never got off the drawing board. ... A request that the 1967 Glengarry Highland Games be moved to Montreal’s Expo 67 was turned down by the Games’ board of directors. ... City council agreed to extend water services to the Edo plant in Charlottenburgh Township. ... Dominion Textiles announced that it would build a $14.5 million plant on a 270-acre parcel of land just west of Lakeview Heights. The plant would employ 375. The buildings are still there but the textile operation is long gone. ... Roland Major was named vice-principal of St. Lawrence High School. He had been head of the guidance department. During the Second World War the Glen Nevis native served with the Royal Canadian Air Force. ..

Walter Danic, head of the Cornwall Collegiate science department, was named the school’s vice-principal. ...

Who were they?

TRIVIA ANSWER In his book “The Stormont, Dundas and Glengarr y Highlanders”, Lt-Col. W. Boss, says the battle cry originated in an English tavern during WW2. A barmaid remarked to a Highlanders colonel and major that there were a lot of Glens in the tavern. The two raised their mugs and shouted, “Up the Glens.” It caught on with the battalion and during the fighting in Europe, Highlanders would shout, “Up the Glens.”

Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

Dealing with grief: four tips for grappling with loss Grief is something that needs to be actively worked through. Freud outlined this idea in his seminal essay “Mourning and Melancholia,” and his theory of grief work remains at the core of modern approaches to handling loss. Here are four strategies for actively dealing with grief.

1. Open up to others Grieving individuals need to express what they’re feeling.

Bottling up or ignoring one’s emotions only causes them to fester. For most people, talking with friends and family members about what they’re feeling is the most natural and easy way of unburdening themselves.

2. Express yourself through art or journaling Not everyone is comfortable opening up to those around them.

When this is the case, a person can express his or her feelings in a variety of other ways. Dancing, making music, and painting can all be effective means of expressing grief. Journaling is another method of releasing pent-up feelings, with

by Megan Devine (self-help) the typical method being to write down everything felt and thereby • A Grief Observed

by C.S. Lewis identify and explore the full range (collection of reflections) of emotions.

3. Read books on grieving Many mourners find solace, strength and wisdom in books in which novelists talk about their experience of loss. There are also books in which experts on grief and grieving provide tools for dealing with a loved one’s passing.

Here are some notable ones: • Levels of Life

by Julian Barnes (essay) • The Year of Magical Thinking

by Joan Didion (memoir) • It’s OK That You’re Not OK

4. Eat well and exercise Self-care is essential when grieving.

Eating well, drinking lots of water and exercising regularly will help balance the griever’s mood and improve their well-being. The exercise needn’t be strenuous; stretching, brief yoga sessions and short walks can be a good start.

Actively working through one’s grief tends to be very helpful. How­ ever, oftentimes individuals need additional support, guidance or simply a listening ear. In such cases, getting support from a grief counsellor can be invaluable.

Virtual funerals: a new reality to consider The coronavirus pandemic made large gatherings hazardous and led to government restrictions. As a re­ sult, many businesses had to adapt their practices, including funeral ho­mes.

Consequently, these essential service providers have started helping the bereaved host virtual funerals, an immersive and personal way to mark the passing of a loved one. This is fortunate, as it al­ lows seniors and immunosuppressed individuals to safely participate in end-of-life ceremonies they would otherwise have to avoid.

Planning ahead is simple.

AN ONLINE HOMAGE Many funeral homes are willing to assist families in hosting their ceremonies online. Funerals can be livestreamed either on social media or over a video conference platform. This type of service ac­commodates many of the features of an in-person event. Loved ones can read eulogies, music can be played and prayers can be delivered. Being able to carry out traditional rituals, even from afar, can help the bereaved process their grief.

WHEN YOU PLAN AHEAD, you can design every detail of your own final tribute and provide your loved ones with true peace of mind. When you’re ready to get started, Lahaie & Sullivan Cornwall Funeral Homes are here to help and offer many exclusive benefits.

While these services might sound impersonal, they’re part of a new reality and an effective way to safely pay tribute to a loved one. Plus, a virtual funeral can allow people to participate who other­wise wouldn’t have been able to attend, whether because they live far away or have reduced mobility.

The unprecedented circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in an increase in fraudulent activities across Ontario.

It has come to Cameron Real Estate Brokerage’s attention that a fraudulent rental scheme appears to be occurring in the Cornwall Area again. The scheme works as follows: Scam artists use information and photos from properties listed in this area and then advertises on an online classified advertising service, saying they are renting the home at unusually low rents without requiring a credit check and no viewings, etc.

As a result of these advertisements, the scam artist then attempts to rent the property out to one or several other unsuspecting individuals and then fraudulently collects the first and last month’s rent or deposit.

If you come across this kind of possible scam, please be careful. You can contact the Cornwall Police Services at 613-932-2110 to report suspicious activity.

Please be on alert for schemes of this nature in order to protect yourself and your family.

Author Stuart Manson is shown at the grave of United Empire Loyalist (UEL) Jeremiah French which is located in Maple Grove Cemetery located on the outskirts of Cornwall. Manson’s newly released book “Sacred Grounds: Loyalist Cemeteries of Eastern Ontario” provides the reader with information on local heritage cemeteries as well as the lives of a selection of the early settlers of SDG. Goddard photo.

www.cornwallseawaynews.com - Seaway News - Wednesday, April 7, 2021 - 13

EASTERN ONTARIO – On March 16, Stuart Manson of Cornwall released “Sacred Grounds: Loyalist Cemeteries of Eastern Ontario. Manson, a co-owner of Public History in Ottawa, lives in Cornwall with his family and is the son of Lyall and Margaret Manson. Lyall was a local historian and genealogist who worked tirelessly to preserve, protect and promote our history. Sacred Grounds was dedicated to Lyall for as Manson commented, his father had a “great influence on my historical pursuits in general, and more particularly relating to his advocacy of heritage cemeteries”.

The book examines “the history of the Loyalists who settled in our region in 1784” as well as heritage cemeteries. Manson mentioned how heritage cemeteries provide an opportunity to “naturally display our history and honour the people who came before us”.

In addition to providing information on the cemetery itself, Manson provides the reader with “the personal stories of these Loyalists”, providing information previously “either unknown or not widely known to the general public”.

Included in his book are Maple Grove Cemetery, Trinity Anglican Church Cemetery and St. Andrew’s Roman Catholic Church Cemetery in Stormont County, in Glengarry County, Knox-St. Andrew’s United Church Cemetery, with Iroquois Point Cemetery and Pioneer Memorial in Dundas County.

Manson explained there were several factors were considered when choosing which cemetery to research including the opportunity to discuss historical events as well, ensure “good geographic distribution across the

region, and as much religious distribution as possible”. He continued the choice of Maple Grove Cemetery, where Loyalist Jeremiah French is interned, on the outskirts of Cornwall provided him with the opportunity to discuss the “effects of the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project” as Maple Grove Cemetery was relocated during the project.

Manson explained the book taken him approximately two years to write and is the first of three volumes on the subject. The research was conducted over several years utilizing resources such as “correspondence, wills, land instruments, burial registers” as well as articles and history books.

Manson was instrumental in beginning a program in collaboration with the St. Lawrence Branch of the United Empire Loyalist’s Association of Canada to have plaques installed at Trinity Anglican Church cemetery in Cornwall and Knox-St. Andrew’s United Church cemetery in Bainsville.

On May 27, Manson is scheduled to deliver a presentation on “Loyalist Cemeteries of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry” during the virtual 2021 UELAC conference hosted by UE Loyalists Bridge Annex branch. He explained participation in conferences and delivering presentations “is a useful way to promote the importance of heritage cemeteries.

The reader of “Sacred Grounds: Loyalist Cemeteries of Eastern Ontario” will be provided with a look into the lives of United Empire Loyalists who came here seeking new homes with hopes for a new future. Manson commented how he liked “the idea of giving a voice to the Loyalists I profiled in book. No longer are they silent names on a tombstone or in a burial register. They now have their stories told, their trials and tribulations recorded”.

Jane in Bonville is not happy because, on March 17, I had a cat scan. I have been waiting and waiting, to hear results from my doctor. Today, 31st I called the hospital records dept., and asked when they sent it. WE JUST FAXED IT NOW, I was gobsmacked to say the very least. Yes, I know about the virus, but 14 days!!!!!! Really bad, in my opinion, that one can only get service if you call and complain. .... I suppose I will have to apologize to doc..... wait I may not do that. Why? After my three inquiring emails did HE not call? That’s what he is paid handsomely for! Do what I did, if you are waiting on any test results call records dept.

From Beyond 21: Jail n’ Bail Postponed!

Due to the health concerns associated with the third wave of COVID-19 and the recent province-wide lockdown we feel that it is best to postpone the Jail n’ Bail event until a later date and time; yet to be determined. Don’t worry folks! We still plan on having the event and we’ll still make sure that justice is served for those who’ve already sent in a warrant application. However, things won’t be happening on April 12th. Instead, we’ll wait until after the lockdown and re-assess the situation then to make sure that we can have the best event possible! Thanks for understanding!

After three failed attempts my account locked me out, as I didn’t have enough cash on me to cover the full amount, I began taking my purchases out of the bag, when the women behind me in line offered to pay for my purchases, shocked by her generosity she paid for the remaining of my balance, when thanking her she wished my a happy Easter, to this women I am overwhelmed by your act of kindness and I will cerentily pay it forward thank you so very much.

A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost.

He reduces height and spots a man below. He lowers the balloon farther and shouts, “Excuse me! Can you tell me where I am?”

The man below says “You’re in a hot air balloon hovering 30 ft above this field.”

“You must be an engineer,” says the balloonist “I am,” replies to man. “How did you know?”

“Well”, says the balloonist, “everything you have told me is technically correct but it’s no use to anyone.”

The man below says “You must be in management.”

“I am” replies a balloonist. “How did you know?”

“Well,” says the man. “You don’t know where you are, where you’re going, but you expect me to be able to help. You are in the same position you were before we met but now it’s my fault.”

Ontario: des familles complètes admises aux soins intensifs ONTARIO - La COVID-19 menace maintenant la capacité du système de santé ontarien à traiter les admissions régulières aux soins intensifs, selon les experts en santé publique de la province, et les variants préoccupants forcent l’hospitalisation de patients plus jeunes.

Le Groupe pour le consensus en matière de modélisation et de conseils scientifiques a présenté, jeudi matin, ses plus récentes constatations face à la situation actuelle de la COVID-19.

Selon les spécialistes membres de ce groupe, «les décrets ordonnant de rester à domicile permettront de contrôler la flambée, de protéger l’accès aux soins et d’augmenter les chances d’avoir l’été que les Ontariens souhaitent».

Le risque d’admission aux soins intensifs est deux fois plus élevé et le risque de décès est 1,5 fois plus élevé pour le variant britannique de la COVID-19, indiquent les scientifiques.

Les hospitalisations ont augmenté de près de 42% au cours des deux dernières semaines.

Du 15 au 21 mars, les personnes de 0 à

59 ans représentaient 46% des hospitalisations aux soins intensifs, alors que ce nombre s’élevait à 30% en décembre.

Si la province n’intervient pas, jusqu’à 1000 patients pourraient être admis aux soins intensifs d’ici la fin du mois d’avril, préviennent les scientifiques.

Même avec l’imposition d’un confinement de quatre semaines et la campagne de vaccination, ces admissions devraient dépasser les 800 durant le mois d’avril.

Le coordinateur de la réponse de la province contre la COVID-19, le Dr Adalsteinn Steini Brown, a prévenu qu’il est possible que des médecins aient à mettre en place un protocole de triage, les forçant à choisir de soigner le patient ayant les meilleures chances de survie plutôt qu’un autre.

Par ailleurs, aux dires de cet expert, les perturbations scolaires ont une incidence importante et très inéquitable sur les étudiants, les parents et la société. « Les écoles reflètent vraiment le niveau d’infections dans la communauté, ce qui représente un échange très très difficile, et si les écoles restent ouvertes, nous verrons davantage d’infections. » — Dr Adalsteinn Steini Brown Les écoles devraient être les dernières

et plus pourront dorénavant recevoir le vaccin d’AstraZeneca dans les pharmacies participantes. À compter du 3 avril, 350 pharmacies supplémentaires pourront administrer ce vaccin, dont des succursales à Ottawa.

Près de 87% de la population n’a encore reçu aucune dose du vaccin contre la COVID-19.

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

Le plan de vaccination de l’Ontario contribue à freiner la propagation et à sauver des vies. Des milliers de gens se font vacciner tous les jours aux quatre coins de la province. À mesure que les vaccinations se poursuivent, nous devons continuer de protéger nos proches. Portez un masque. Lavez-vous les mains. Respectez l’écart sanitaire.

Jeudi, la santé publique de l’Ontario a fait état de 2557 nouveaux cas de COVID19 enregistrés la veille.

On compte 1953 cas confirmés du variant britannique de la COVID-19, 67 cas du variant sud-africain et 96 cas du variant brésilien.

La province déplore 23 nouveaux décès causés par le virus survenus mercredi.

En tout, 7389 Ontariens ont perdu la vie en raison de la COVID-19.

Mercredi, 1116 personnes étaient hospitalisées en raison de la COVID-19, dont 433 aux soins intensifs.

Parmi ces patients, 259 étaient sous respirateur à cause du virus.

Par ailleurs, la vaccination ne parvient pas aux communautés les plus à risque, jugent les experts, «ce qui retarde son effet en tant que stratégie efficace».

Mercredi, 84 060 personnes ont été vaccinées en province.

Le gouvernement ontarien a annoncé, jeudi avant-midi, que les Ontariens de 55

A sweet partnership: DQ & CCHF launch community challenge YOUR CCHF CHECKUP

AMY GILLESPIE CORNWALL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL FOUNDATION

Last month, I asked our community to share moral support for CCH’s frontlines. A year into COVID-19, with a third wave upon us, our healthcare professionals need your encouragement more than ever. From poems to songs, kids’ colouring pages to uplifting videos featuring students at Holy Trinity and CCVS, our team has distributed messages of hope letting CCH know

you care. Thanks to Nolan and Kim Quinn of Cornwall Dairy Queen, we’re about to take our request for community support to the next level.

Just in time for spring, Dairy Queen’s front window is being transformed into a tribute to frontline healthcare workers, featuring the homegrown artistic talent of Robbie Lariviere. The mural’s message, “Stand Behind our Healthcare Frontlines”, is a call-to-action for our community to celebrate local nurses, doctors and healthcare workers across all disciplines. From now through September, Dairy Queen will keep their solarium lights on each night (lighting up the window artwork) as a thank you for their care. And they’re paying the message forward. In partnership with our Hospital Foundation, DQ’s issuing a community-wide challenge for citizens to create their own visual tributes to frontline healthcare workers –

for the chance to win some incredible prizing.

Stand Behind our Healthcare Frontlines Contest Details: DQ Cornwall and CCHF want SDG to come alive with positive messages for healthcare workers – we can’t walk a mile in their shoes, but we can show them their care matters. Over the next few weeks, community members should watch Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation’s Facebook page (@CornwallHospitalFoundation) for posts to inspire entries. Whether painted on windows, set-up on lawns, or launched via social media, the most creative and impactful messages stand a chance to win: • A grand prize of $1000 to the winning individual, team, or family.

• A second prize featuring 52 free combo meal coupons at DQ – enough for a free meal each
