CORNWALL, Ontario – The Agapè Centre continues to give back to the community and chose to give lunch to the workers at the COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Benson Centre in Cornwall on Thursday, April 29, 2021.

The Agapè Centre ordered seven pizzas,

200 wings, fries, condiments, and drinks which were donated by 241 Pizza and The Glengarrian.

“We like to do a lot for the community,” said Paul Leger of 241 Pizza and The Glengarrian.

“When Lisa (Duprau) called, we had no problem helping out.”

Lisa Duprau, Executive Director of the Agapè Centre said that this generosity was a part of their continued effort to give back to

the community to mark their 50th anniversary.

Earlier in the year, the Agapè Centre gave cupcakes to the staff at Glen Stor Dun Lodge, Cornwall’s long-term care facility.

“We’re continuing to give back to the community to show our appreciation for everything they’ve done for us over the past year,” Duprau said. “This is a great opportunity to show our appreciated to the staff at the vaccination clinic for everything they do.”

Welcoming all WSIB, CSST, DVA and ODSP providers.

If your kids are more likely to cook up a mess than a breakfast dish, ask them to draw a picture to decorate Mom’s breakfast tray instead. For some added fun, have them collect all of the pillows around the house to ensure their mother dines in absolute comfort. Finally, top the presentation off with her favourite flower, a sweet note or an uplifting family photo, and watch her melt with joy!

Chamber focuses on value for members at AGM NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – In their Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on Tuesday, April 27, the Cornwall and Area Chamber of Commerce explained their shift towards a more value based approach to its membership.

Greg Pietersma, who became the new Executive Director for the Chamber at the start of 2020 explained that he undertook a review of Chamber operations when he began his new job, which included interviews with 40 community stakeholders.

“There was a consistent feeling of a lack of value for the membership and that was repeated often. This was not unique to this chamber,” he said. “Every now and then you need to stop, look at the way you operate,

3 MINUTES WITH THE MAYOR

BERNADETTE CLEMENT CITY OF CORNWALL

All of a sudden, it’s spring, and summer is on the horizon. I am feeling grateful – grateful to see flowers blooming in City parks, to see my young neighbours’ chalk artwork on side-

and see if you still support your current members and reflect the current times.”

As a part of this goal, the Chamber began to reduce its physical footprint by cutting ties with ServiceOntario, and selling off their building on the corner of Second St. and Sydney St. Furthermore, the Chamber has begun creating tool kits for entrepreneurs, which is on its new website that was also launched in the past year.

Chamber President Shannon Lebrun explained that the Chamber has also taken steps in the past year to provide administrative services to local organizations including the Business Improvement Associations, Heart of the City and CREATE. “Putting us in the heart of these organizations will keep us more informed on activities that can affect our businesses,” Lebrun said.

In terms of the pandemic, the Chamber highlighted how they began from the start to offer support services to all businesses seeking aid, including non-members.

Most recently, the Chamber entered into a partnership with Chamber member Choice Taxi to provide free trips for residents to COVID-19 vaccination appointments.

Going forward, the Chamber hopes to continue to re-grow membership, which had been in decline since 2010. The Chamber’s goal is to reach 700 members by 2025.

Currently the Chamber has just under 500 members.

The Chamber also seeks to become more financially stable in the next few years, with the goal of breaking even by 2023 and being fully sustainable by 2025.

Johnston Beaudette Char tered Accountants which the Chamber had

contracted to audit their books gave the Chamber a clean audit and noted that expenses had been reduced in 2020 by 29 per cent and that long-term debt had shrunk as well.

The Chamber acclaimed a new Board of Directors at the end of the meeting which include the following: Shannon Lebrun – President corus Entertainment, Kelsey White – Vice-President BMO, Lynn Chauvin – Secretary/Treasurer Chaucor, Shannon Gareau – Director Ramada Inn, Bill Kingston – Director Cornwall Newswatch, Bill Makinson – Director Cogeco / YourTV, Kristin Davey – Director The Happy Popcorn Co., Gina Scandrett – Director ZipGrow, Sue-Anne Heitmann – Director Fairy Sweet Gourmet Bakery, Rizwan Mustafa – Director Sheep’s Head Bistro, and Cherry-Ann Dupres – Director Cornwall Truck Maintenance.

walks and driveways.

I’m feeling optimistic, too – Cornwall residents are getting vaccinated. Case numbers are decreasing. The possibility of a summer where we can safely shop and socialize is becoming more real.

Macleans recently ranked Cornwall the eighth best place to work remotely in Canada.

Our ranking was based on multiple factors. I’d like to think community engagement is a significant factor on the quality of life Cornwallites enjoy.

On average, about 1,600 residents fill out City surveys. They respond to questions about

rental licensing, about community cats, and about the future of recreation. I want you to know: Council reads everything. Every comment and every statistic. We are grateful for your input and the time you spend sharing constructive ideas.

We can’t implement everything you suggest, but your feedback does inform our plans.

Take the Recreation Master Plan, for example. Council approved the plan at our most recent meeting after staff and consultants spent months talking with community groups and surveying residents.

There are too many goals and projects in

the Master Plan for me to list here, but I would encourage you to check it out at www.Cornwall. ca/recreationupdate As the weather warms, I hope you and your loved ones are safe and well. I hope you take time to enjoy the beauty of the waterfront trail, the quiet of Guindon Parks paths, or the familiarity of your own neighbourhood.

Vaccines will provide a way out of this pandemic. In the meantime, staying connected with each other is essential. You can connect with me on Facebook, or by emailing bclement@cornwall.ca.

CPS and the EMCPA WALKING THE BEAT WITH THE CHIEF

CHIEF DANNY AIKMAN

On a beautiful spring morning I would much rather be detailing my latest accomplishments on the golf course but unfortunately the third wave surge of COVID 19 cases provincially has golfers on the sidelines with the Provincial Government implementing tighter restrictions on people’s movements in hopes of driving COVID cases down.

On April 16th Premier Doug Ford announced new measures under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (EMCPA) which initially included authority for police officers to stop motor vehicles and pedestrians for the purpose of determining if they were outside their homes for an essential reason.

Since the beginning of this pandemic, the Cornwall Police Service (CPS) has dealt with members of the public who refuse to comply with provincial measures through engagement, education, explaining and enforcement. I believe this to be the most effective way of

Your turn is coming soon.

building public trust under these very difficult circumstances.

As such, I directed CPS officers to not randomly stop motor vehicles or pedestrians for the sole purpose of determining why people were outside of their residence and this message was also shared with the public. Several police chiefs across the province shared similar views and stated so publicly. The province has since amended the regulation to clarify that police officers do have the authority to ask for identification of persons, on reasonable grounds, who are believed to be organizing or participating in an illegal gathering under the EMCPA. The CPS will enforce the provisions of the EMCPA which prohibit gathering outside or inside with more than 5 people, all of whom live in the same household. Fines for these types of offences start at $750 and go much higher if a person is the organizer of an event.

On a personal note, I was quite relieved to receive my first vaccination recently at the Benson Centre. The process was very well organized and quite efficient. Kudos to the Eastern Ontario Health Unit and the City of Cornwall for their hard work in hosting vaccination clinics. I encourage everyone to get when vaccinated at the first available opportunity.

Hopefully vaccines and complying with public health guidelines will have us back doing the things we love to do soon, like golf.

MPP Jim McDonell contracts COVID-19 received recently, but NICK SEEBRUCH CORNWALL, Ontario – In a statement released to the media on Friday afternoon, April 30, Stormont, Dundas, South Glengarry Progressive Conservative MPP Jim McDonell confirmed that he had contracted the COVID-19 virus.

His statement reads as follows: “Dear constituents, I want to take this opportunity to let you know that I have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. This past week, while experiencing what I thought was the common cold, I made an appointment to get a COVID-19 test, as recommended by public health. I am unsure of where I may have contracted the virus. My symptoms are very mild, and I can attribute this to the recent vaccination I had

CORNWALL, Ontario – Carefor Hospice Cornwall’s annual Hike for Hospice Fundraiser is back this year, but, like in 2020, the event will once again be held virtually.

“As many of us are still staying home and practicing social distancing, we’ve made the decision to host the 2021 Virtual Hike for Hospice. This exciting opportunity gives you the ability to participate and continue to help raise much needed funds to support Carefor Hospice Cornwall,” reads a statement from Jason Samson of Carefor.

Last year’s event, while being virtual, still saw strong support come through for Hospice, with over $30,000 raised. The money raise last year was used to buy supplies and support the services that Carefor Hospice Cornwall provides to their patients and their families during the most

difficult time in their lives.

Those interested in participating in this year’s event can sign up now at https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/carefor-health-community-services/p2p/hike-2021 Once signed up, participants can complete their pledge to hike however they see fit, whether it be in the local park, neighbourhood, or at home on a treadmill. Hospice only asks that participants complete their hike by May 14.

Stand Behind Our Healthcare Frontlines

YOUR CCHF CHECKUP

AMY GILLESPIE CORNWALL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL FOUNDATION

Leading our Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation (CCHF) for almost five years now, I’ve been fortunate to meet so many of our dedicated healthcare workers. In fact, their compassionate care inspires my own vocation every day, knowing the essential medical equipment purchased by our donors will

change and save local lives.

Numerous staff have been redeployed across the hospital in response to the pandemic’s third wave. They may be juggling new training, some working nights for the first time, and for most, a day off with family seems a distant memory. Patients with COVID-19 are younger and sicker than in previous waves; and those who aren’t suffering from the disease require special protocol to remain safe. There really is no better time to voice encouragement for our healthcare workers.

CCHF has begun a series of interviews with staff, celebrating “the people behind the PPE” as a means of recognizing their experiences and sacrifices, both on the frontlines and at home. I was thrilled to hear Seaway

News will be running this series once a week to help raise further awareness. Like me, I’m sure you’ll be moved by their words, commitment and care.

If you’ve followed this column, you know our team recently partnered with Kim and Nolan Quinn of Cornwall Dairy Queen to launch the “We Stand Behind our Healthcare Frontlines” contest. The contest invited individuals across the community to paint, draw or design creative messages demonstrating how much our healthcare workers matter.

Starting today, you can vote on your favourite contest entry by visiting our Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation Facebook page (@CornwallHospitalFoundation). The entry with the most “likes” will receive a first prize of $1,000, second place will win a

year’s worth of DQ combo meals, and third place will win ice cream cake for a year. While you’re visiting our page, please leave a note of encouragement for the physicians, nurses, medical professionals and other staff who make a difference at CCH each day.

Once the contest is wrapped up on May 17th, we’ll unveil a very special fundraising initiative with our friends at Dairy Queen, recognizing the efforts of essential frontline workers across our community. Proceeds will support urgent equipment needs at CCH during COVID-19. Please stay tuned – we can’t wait to tell you more.

If you’re considering making a donation in support of local healthcare, please visit www. cornwallhospitalfoundation.ca today.

New initiative to help break senior isolation NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – At their meeting on Monday, April 26 Cornwall City Council heard about a new initiative from the Senior Friendly Community Committee.

During their annual update to Council, committee representatives unveiled their plan to have a trishaw service for seniors this summer. A trishaw is a three-wheeled manpowered vehicle with a passenger cabin behind the driver.

“We want to tap the potential of Cornwall’s excellent bike path network to provide our

aging and less mobile seniors with an interesting and invigorating opportunity to explore nature in areas of the city that might normally be inaccessible to many of them,” reads the committee’s notes on the Trishaw Project.

The committee explained that they envision this being an inter-generational opportunity, and have invited drivers of all ages to volunteer and drive a trishaw.

The Senior’s Committee received funding through the New Horizons program and worked with a local vendor to purchase a trishaw with the goal of launching the program in June, in time for Senior’s Month and

will target isolated seniors.

“I’m so pleased, because it is such a positive program to bring to our community during these unprecedented times,” said Councillor Maurice Dupelle.

Councillor Carilyne Hébert explained that isolation was nothing new to seniors, and that they were not the only population affected by it.

“The issue of social isolation is so relevant now . . . and it reaches far beyond our seniors,” said Hébert. “I really love the An example of a trishaw. inter-generational component here. Young people need those relationships just as opportunity there to link seniors with young much as seniors. I think there’s the people who are alone, and also isolated.”

Every year on April 28th we pause to remember the workers who have been injured or lost their lives in their workplaces.

This year marks the second year that we have not been able to mourn these lost workers in person because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are increasingly worried about our brothers and sisters who work in essential services and who continue to suffer the greatest harm.

On this day we recognize that these workers are at increased risk of long term illnesses and conditions and that their families are also at risk. Today, we join the citizens of Ontario calling for the Ford government: to take action and provide workers in Ontario with ten days of paid sick leave, tied to their regular paycheques; that protective equipment and vaccines be directed to essential workers in the most affected communities; that offers of help by the federal government or other agencies be accepted.

We ask workers in Ontario to pause and reflect on the need to insure that each worker is able to return to their family and community without fear of transmitting disease.

The Cornwall and District Labour Council has sent pants to healthcare workers workplaces with messages of support in lieu of our usual ceremonies.

McIntyre explained how after arriving at KnoxSt. Paul’s three years ago she came across plans for a new garden space next to the church while setting up the church office. After speaking with congregational members, she learned there had once been a community garden next to the church, with document outlining plans for a new outdoor space for people to visit.

Kim Baird, a church member who is involved in the community garden project, explained the earlier community garden began a few years ago when “six church members with families and a few neighbours from the neighbourhood” were able to create garden plots which were planted with flowers or vegetables. She continued some who planted a vegetable garden were open “to let others pick as needed”, with congregational members assisting in watering the garden.

of the space, McIntyre discussed the plan with members of the EOORC and church members with the decision made to move ahead with the project. In an interview with Cornwall Seaway News, McIntyre described the project seeing the space as a blank canvas on which to create a place where one can connect with nature and with God. She mentioned the Church hopes to create a sustainable garden and a “life-giving place for all ages and stages” where the mind, body and soul can find sustenance.

McIntyre mentioned they were successful in receiving a grant from Canada Summer Jobs to fund a summer student position to begin the process of converting the grass-covered field into a garden for the community. The summer student will be developing a design and budget for the multi-year project and investigating different possibilities for the space.

These include creating a labyrinth, a pathway

through the garden or a section of the space for growing food. She continued they will be reaching out for input from neighbours and other local stakeholders on their vision for the garden as well as establishing connections among community organizations.

Baird is “looking forward to engage community members in the planning process and seek community partners to move forward”. She commented how her “vision is to have people plant their own gardens and also offer areas of “pick what you need”, before mentioning how in years to come opportunities such as “how to plant gardens” or “community cooking classes” could be offered.

There are many hopes and dreams associated with this plot of land next to Knox-St. Paul’s United Church and committee members appear ready to meet the challenges of making them come true.

SDG holds virtual townhall to support small businesses NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The United Counties of SD&G, in partnership with the Community Futures Development Corporation (CFDC) of Cornwall and the Counties and the Cornwall Business Enterprise Centre (CBEC) held a virtual townhall on Wednesday, April 28 with Stormont, Dundas, South Glengarry MPP Jim McDonell and Ontario Minister of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries Lisa MacLeod as guest panelists.

The event was hosted by the United Counties Economic Development Officer Tara Kirkpatrick and focused on supports for small businesses and entrepreneurs, particularly in the tourism sector.

“We recognize the difficult situation that our businesses are in right now as they navigate

the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown measures enacted to protect the health of our population. We hope that this forum will help clarify some of the programs and supports available to our businesses and to highlight the different agencies available to help them,” said Kirkpatrick.

The townhall allowed both CBEC and the CFDC to highlight services that they provide to support small businesses including CBEC’s Starter Company Plus Program, and the CFDC’s Regional Relief and Recovery Fund.

Minister MacLeod also took questions from the audience and provided some insight to future steps the provincial government would take to support small businesses in the tourism sector.

Of particular note, MacLeod acknowledged that travel agencies had been hit hard by the

pandemic, and stated that a provincial tourism taskforce would be looking at creating provincial travel itineraries to showcase the “authentic Ontario experience.”

“This summer is going to be the summer of stay-cation, very local,” MacLeod said. “It is going to take five to six years before we get international travel back to the way it was.”

She encouraged travel and tourism agencies to look close to home and promote local.

“Look at what’s in your own backyard that you haven’t paid attention to,” said MacLeod.

“We’ve forgotten to look at what’s an hour away.”

Ultimately, MacLeod stated that this presented an opportunity for regional tourism remained optimistic for the future of tourism in the province.

“I don’t think I could have gotten through

Ontario aims to open vaccine eligibility to everyone 18+ by end of May NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

ONTARIO – In an announcement on Thursday, April 29, the province of Ontario stated that they would be expanding the eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine to all individuals over the age of 18 by the week of May 24.

The province explained that starting May 1 the province will begin receiving 800,000 doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine each week, and that half of those doses will be sent to hotspot locations as identified by postal code. The province expects that the amount of vaccine made available to Ontario will increase to 940,000 doses a week by the end of May.

“Ontario’s vaccine rollout is continuing to focus on getting vaccines to those most at risk” said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “With a stable and reliable supply of vaccines on the way, we will continue expanding access to the vaccine in communities across the province, especially those areas that continue to be hit hardest by COVID19. The best vaccine remains the first one you’re offered, and I strongly encourage everyone to sign up as soon as it’s their turn.”

Starting on April 30, eligibility for the Pfizer vaccine will be lowered to those aged 55 and older. Individuals in that age bracket are already eligible for the AztraZeneca version of

the COVID-19 vaccine which is currently only available at select pharmacies.

Vaccination appointments for the Pfizer vaccine can be booked on the province of Ontario website. “With the increase in vaccine supplies, workplace vaccination clinics have begun this week and we are focusing our immunization efforts in areas where COVID-19 is spreading rapidly,” said Solicitor General Sylvia Jones.

“As we move closer to accessing a more stable supply of vaccines from the federal government, we must do all we can to save lives and reduce hospitalizations by staying home and following public health measures.”

Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of

Health for the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) stated that the province had doubled the region’s allocation of the Pfizer vaccine in the last week of May and that he had added more clinics and noted that this did not take into account additional doses of the Moderna and AstraZeneca versions of the COVID-19 vaccine. “I do believe we will have a good portion of the population done by the end of May going into June,” he said.

Dr. Roumeliotis stated that by the end of Friday, April 30 the EOHU would have distributed 60,000 doses of the vaccine and estimated to be able to distribute an additional 50,000 by the end of May.

Emergency Preparedness Week s

May 2 to 8 is

BE READY FOR ANYTHING

“This community is no stranger to emergencies,” said Mayor Bernadette Clement.

“Think beyond our current COVID-19 emergency – we have dealt with major power outages, the 1998 ice storm, and significant fires.”

Everyone plays a role in responding to emergencies – and everyone should do what they can to be prepared.

The City of Cornwall is encouraging residents to take the following actions:

1. Know the risks: discover the top ten significant hazards for Cornwall.

Plan for those risks, by asking about the emergency plan at your work and your child(ren)’s daycare or school.

2. Make a plan: decide where you will go if you need to evacuate. Choose an out-of-area contact who can help family members stay in touch.

Don’t forget to plan for your pets.

3. Get your kit together: every household should have a bag or bin of supplies in case you need to protect in place or evacuate.

Learn more about what should be in your kit. a. Get a USB stick or backup hard drive to save your most important information like insurance and identification documents.

Put that information in your kit – and make sure you update it regularly.

Living sustainably in Cornwall

NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

The City of Cornwall has a lot to be proud of when it comes to sustainability.

In just a few short years, the City as an organization, and the people themselves have made major strides towards diverting waste away from Cornwall’s landfill.

Last week we learned that once again Cornwall’s Give a Shirt drive diverted over 20,000 pounds of garments from the landfill, instead sending them to our local thrift stores where they will find a new life with those who need them.

Also, I recently spoke with Julie Dennis, owner of The Local Fill. If you haven’t yet heard of The Local Fill, it is a great little store in the same building as Summit Fitness on Pitt St. The Local Fill lets you refill your empty soap, shampoo, spices, and many many other containers rather than going out and buying a new one. Julie told me that she had recently calculated that The Local Fill has helped to divert enough plastic from the landfill to fill four Ed Lumley arenas.

These are not the only successful initiatives in the City aimed at sustainability and conservation. The City of Cornwall in 2020 also launched their

fREe Store at the Cornwall landfill. The fREe Store lets residents take used unwanted items that are in otherwise good condition to the landfill that are then made available to others who wish to take them for free.

In late 2020, the City of Cornwall also announced that they were engaging with consultants to come up with a plan to divert 50 per cent of all organic waste from the landfill by 2025.

The need for all of this isn’t just related to wanting to leave a better more sustainable planet for future generations, but for a much more locally relevant reason as well.

The Cornwall landfill is running out of space and to close and maintain that site will cost the City of Cornwall taxpayers $36 million. That amount is a very large number for a municipality of just under 50,000 people to deal with, and that doesn’t even take into account the cost of buying new land to open a new landfill.

There is about 12 years of space left in Cornwall’s landfill, so now is the time to do whatever you can to live sustainably and reuse and recycle.

I recently wrote a column a couple of months ago on this topic, because, for

us in Cornwall, it is a big deal.

Even if you don’t believe in global warming, or how plastic is playing a big part in killing off life in the oceans (which you should) then believe this: creating waste is going to cost you, as a taxpayer, a lot of money.

We as a municipality have come a long way, but we still have a long way to go to cushion the blow that’s coming with the inevitable closure of the current landfill.

One way that a person can help to divert waste from the landfill is to abide by the two-bag garbage limit, and do

what you can to make sure that as many items wind up in recycling as possible.

Earlier this year, the City of Cornwall also updated their list of recyclable items to include: 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.

What are some ways that you try to live sustainably?

Incredible Edibles engage local gardeners

Sustainable Living with Transition Cornwall+ KAREN CARRIERE

& PENNY BATEMAN

Look for Incredible Edibles on the Road, May 29, when Transition Cornwall+ Food Action Group again gives free vegetable seedlings to our community.

Nine years ago, our members gathered on a drizzly morning to repot 300 seedlings into large pots to give away. We hoped people could discover the value and joy of growing and eating their own fresh food, even if they only had a window sill. The line-ups of happy expectant ‘gardeners’ confirmed the interest and need. This success spawned our popular annual ‘festival’ of plants, activities and live music.

The pandemic has generated a whole new population of gardeners, mostly beginners, but also older ones revisiting the joy of food gardening. Their reasons vary, including worries about food security, the maintenance of good mental health, and the desire to participate in a shared community experience.

The pandemic made us abandon our festival last year, instead setting up distribution sites at local businesses for easy and safe seedling pickups. Several hundred plants were also delivered to groups such as the Canadian Mental Health Association, housing estates and community gardens. Over 1500 plants went to new homes. Restrictions and EOHU guidelines will determine how this year’s plants will find their way to the community’s doorsteps and yards.

But getting them there is important. As the owner of one of the businesses partnering with us, Julie Dennis of Local Fill says, “I find The Incredible Edibles initiative a crucial one, to engage the community in participating in sustainable living.”

Yearly, our seedlings have been started by

OPINION

City easing out of COVID hot zone

the police force is down 230 officers after a wave of early retirements and resignations.

The police chief said the pool of people wanting to be police officers is “shrinking every day.” Only 18 new officers have been recruited to fill the holes. Meanwhile, the murder rate is up 75% and there have been 201 shootings investigated this year. ... How time flies. It was 40 years ago May 4 that a young Carleton University journalism grad joined the Standard-Freeholder sports department. Today, Steve Dryden is managing editor of The Sports Network (TSN). Of course, he credits his climb up the ladder to the great guidance he received from his first boss (lol).

TRIVIA Jay Silverheels, born on the Sixth Nations Reserve near Brantford in 1912, made 200 TV and film appearances but he was best known as the Lone Ranger’s sidekick, Tonto. His real name was: 1) Jay Buckshot, 2) Walter Jay Thomas, 3) Alexander Silver, 4) Harold Smith, 5) Bruce Morningstar.

Remember that light at the end of the dark COVID-19 tunnel mentioned a couple of weeks back?

Well, the latest COVID-19 numbers (up to Monday) given out by the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) show the light getting brighter. Still a long way from a victory lap, but moving in the right direction.

Cornwall, the numbers tell us, is slowly but steadily edging out of the feared hot zone. At least on the provincial radar.

On April 15, the hot button lit up with the Eastern Ontario Health Unit reporting 155 active cases in Cornwall, 38 more cases than all of the United Counties, with about 21,000 more residents, combined. It was the peak of a steady spike that started on March 31 with 97 active cases and had local health officials gnawing their finger nails.

On Monday, the number of active cases in the city dropped to 68, a decrease of 87 since mid-April.

In the United Counties, the number of active cases has dipped to 41 from 125 on April 1. North Dundas had zero active cases for seven straight days.

In the EOHU region, the number of active cases stands at 221, down from 498 on April 15.

The number of residents in the EOHU region who have been vaccinated climbed to 63,351, up from 24,452 at the start of April.

The success of the vaccination program is found in the demographic column. With a large number of residents 65 and older with at least one dose, the total number of cases in the age bracket is less than those age 40 and under. Those under 40 now make up almost half the total number of cases, while those over 65 account for 20 per cent. ***********

business was to use off-duty police at major sporting events in an effort to catch “fence climbers”. ... Rivermead Dairy, 407 Water St., resumed Sunday home delivery after a winter break. The dairy offered a Saturday emergency service. ... Plans for a mausoleum at Woodlawn Cemetery on Cumberland Street were unveiled. The mausoleum would hold 150 bodies and include a chapel. It would have individual crypts, private family rooms and deluxe resting places. The interior was to be finished in marble. The cemetery board said “above ground” burials were becoming more popular. ... George Hirst of Cornwall was the first southbound driver to cross the New York Railway swing bridge that had been retro-fitted to accommodate vehicular traffic and not just freight and passenger trains. The day after it opened, 1,000 cars crossed the bridge. The official opening was set for June 30. Officials expected 30,000 to attend.

The 22-year-old Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders lieutenant was among a group of captured Canadian soldiers brutally executed by their ruthless Nazis captors a few days after D-Day. A second Highlander and Cornwall resident, Lance Corporal George Pollock, also was among the victims.

Both were executed in the Abbaye d’Ardenne garden. The body of Williams was found buried in a shallow grave near the garden.

Pollock’s remains were never found.

Get real about how you feel for Mental Health Week NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – From Monday, May 3 to May 9 is Mental Health Week across Canada, and the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) is asking people to #GetReal about how they feel.

CMHA-Champlain East Executive Director Joanne Moshonas explained that the message of this, the 70th annual Mental Health Week was more important than ever.

“The fact is that we all have been experiencing this pandemic, and many may feel isolated,” she said.

Moshonas explained that the slogan for this year’s Mental Health Week, #GetReal About How You Feel is to encourage people to be honest about how they feel and to be okay with struggling with their mental health during this difficult time.

“Many people are suffering right now and people can be affected in many different ways,” said Michelle Gosselin, Program Director for

CMHA-Champlain East.

Moshonas cited a recent CMHA study which claims that 40 per cent of people have had their mental health impacted by the pandemic, and she went on to state that her office has seen an influx of referrals and calls over the past year.

All week, YourTV Cornwall will be broadcasting a virtual concert organized by CMHA-Champlain East in honour of mental health week, and the CMHA will be holding a virtual session on May 6 at 1 p.m. to talk about mental health and Mental Health week.

At a flag raising in front of Cornwall City Hall on Monday, May 3, Cornwall Mayor Bernadette Clement praised the CMHA for their work and highlighted that mental health care was very important in the current climate.

“Thank you for all of the work that you’re doing,” Mayor Clement said. “I’m really learning it is important right now to be honest about how you feel.”

There’s a constant parade that passes by our house. It reminds me of the ‘Lovely Bunch of Coconuts’ song of the WW II era.

An adaptation of its words would go like this: “I see a lovely bunch o’ dogs, big ones, small ones, some as big as yer head. Give ‘em a leash, a flick o’ yer leash and see how they’ll be led!”

Some of the dogs pull hard as they lead, others just about have to be dragged. Still others are at the end of a slack leash - and the rest are free, but under control.

There’s the occasional stupid ones. No, not the dogs, the owners. Here’s an example. I was standing at a busy street corner, waiting for the light to turn green.

Behind me there was a commotion. A boy old enough to drive a car was nattering at a reluctant dog at the end of a leash.

Noticing my Keesha standing attentively beside me, he commented. “That’s sure some good dog you got there! Not like this stupid thing we got.”

“How long have you had the dog?” “‘Bout four years or so. This dog never learned nothin’ since we got him as a pup!”

“So what’s your dog’s name?”

“He don’t have no name.”

The light turned green, I crossed the street, Keesha in step with me. I think the day would not have been long enough to give that lad the training he needed.

The first thing a dog needs is a name.

After that, it needs persistent, consistent and insistent instruction, accompanied by little rewards. Eventually, a pat on the head or a “Good boy!” are sufficient.

On walks, dogs (especially males) need sniff stops and to occasionally mark their

After almost 50 years of marriage, the love of my life died on his 72nd birthday, surrounded by me, our son and his wife. After an extremely brief bout with brain cancer Daniel left our wonderful life for a much better one. He leaves behind Reina (Bazinet) Dubé, his son Martin (wife Kelly), his two grandchildren Marlee and Olivier, and 14 in-laws which he loved dearly, his brother Claude and a sister Carmen (Lussier). Daniel was born in St. André Est, Comté d’Argenteuil, Québec. His exciting twenty-two year career in the Canadian Air Force as a Medic and then as an Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist took us to many adventurous MWO (Retired) postings like Québec City, Esquimalt B.C, Moisie Québec, Ontario, Lahr Germany and finally St. Jean, Québec.

Daniel “Dan” Dubé Ottawa After his military career he opened several hearing aid clinics April 24, 1949 “Regional Hearing Inc” and “Helix Inc.” in Ottawa, Orleans, – April 24, 2021 Stittsville and Toronto. His love of travelling took us all over the world. Daniel had a beautiful voice but would only sing for me. He was also an avid golfer and curler. A full military service will be held at the Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa post-Covid.

As expressions of sympathy, memorial donations to Diabetes Canada would be appreciated by the family. Arrangements entrusted to Beechwood Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services (613-741-9530). www.beechwoodottawa.ca

OBITUARY

territory. Some breeds are retrievers, so they like to have sticks, Frisbees or balls to carry in their slobbery mouths.

If your dog has more speed and stamina than you, one solution is to train it to run beside your bicycle. It’ll take patience, but the end result will be a dog that can be given all the exercise it needs.

Then there’s what we call the ‘drop stops’. I’ve not yet seen a dog smart enough and dextrous enough to open a plastic bag, deposit something in it, seal it, then deposit it in an appropriate receptacle.

However, I’ve seen some irresponsible dog owners who haven’t yet acquired that skill.

Those are the people who believe in the Poop Fairy, that mythical being that patrols the highways, byways, pathways and grassy areas, to retrieve what people’s pets have left behind. These people believe that what Fido has left in the November to March snowdrifts will completely vanish when the tulips and daffodils appear.

Ladies and gentlemen, that just ain’t gonna happen. Please! Stoop and scoop!

Taking your dog for a walk is good for both of you – but the last-mentioned part, the ‘etcetera’, must go with it.
