A little pink to go with paramedics
FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca
CORNWALL | Local paramedics will be sporting a little extra colour on their uni- forms this month for a good cause. Mem- bers of Cornwall SDG Emergency Medical Services have signed on to participate in the Dress for the Cause initiative to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer. Throughout the month of October, which serves as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, participating EMS employees will be wear- ing pink epaulettes on the shoulder straps of their uniforms to raise awareness of the fight against breast cancer. The fundraiser idea was brought forward by Paramedic Tristan Layer, who saw it be- ing done by paramedics in nearby Leeds and Grenville and decided to expand it to Cornwall and SDG. The colourful additions to the uniforms are quickly becoming a hot topic for discussion for paramedics while

Cornwall SDG EMS provides around the clock emergency service to residents in Cornwall and the United Counties of Stor- mont, Dundas and Glengarry. “Our paramedics are out in the commu-
nity every day, and this fundraiser offers a unique way for us to bring attention to an important cause,” said EMS Chief Myles Cas- sidy.
“It looks like it’s getting a good response,” said Layer.“I was happy to be able to get this fundraiser going here and I’m more than happy to continue it on in future years.”
Advance voting locations in Cornwall
CORNWALL | Voting for the 2014 munici- pal election officially kicked off on Octo- ber 9, as a series of advance voting loca- tions opened in the City. From October 9 to Saturday, October 11, voters were able to cast their ballots in advance at three convenient locations, the Cornwall Square, Eastcourt Mall or the Benson cen- tre. A second round of advance voting will take place October 14, 15, 16, 17, 20 and 21 at City Hall, during the hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. On October 11, a series of advance polls will be set up in a number of apart- ment complexes and seniors’ buildings throughout Cornwall for residents of those properties. Electors can vote prior to Elec- tion Day on October 27 for any reason.
“Voters have not been assigned a vot- ing location,” said City Clerk Helen Finn. “Instead, voters can vote at the location of their choice, be it on the advance voting days or on election day. Electors can vote near their home, near their work or simply when they are out shopping or watching a game at the Benson centre. This is made possible by the electronic voters’ list used to find a voter’s name and strike it off the list no matter where you vote in the City. It makes voting quick and easy.” Residents can confirm they are on the vot- ers’ list by visiting www.cornwall.ca/elec- tion, and using the Internet Voter Lookup Tool. Additions and corrections to the vot- ers’ list can also be made at advance polls and on election day at all voting locations.

Health unit offers advice on new virus
RE-ELECT RÉÉLISONS
It may seem like just a cold bug but the Enterovirus D68 can prove serious for someone who already has respiratory problems. The Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) has issued an advisory with some good news concerning the virus. Preventing the spread of Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) is just a matter of taking sen- sible precautions. Public Health On- tario has confirmed cases of the virus in the province. The number of cases in North America of EV- D68 has increased this year but none have proved fatal. EV-D68 infection has the greatest risk dur- ing summer and fall. Children, youth, and anyone with asthma or some other exist- ing respiratory condition are most suscep- tible. Symptoms range from coughing and wheezing, as with a mild cold, to more se-
vere infection which requires hospital treat- ment. With mild cases of EV-D68, people infect- ed will recover on their own. Anyone with respiratory problems may develop more serious symptoms requiring either more frequent use of inhalers or other treatment. The virus spreads the same way that
a cold virus does, through coughing or sneezing or through contact with con- taminated surfaces and then touching the mouth, nose or eyes. No vaccine ex-

ists yet for EV-D68 but standard precautions like frequent washing with soap and water or an alcohol-based rub, regular cleaning of surfaces with disinfectant, covering mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing, and trying to avoid contact with others when infected, will help reduce the risk of spread- ing the virus.

CORNWALL | Claude McIntosh is hoping his long career in journalism, spanning over a period of 42 years, will help him get elected in the upcoming municipal elec- tions. “After serving as the “unofficial op- position” for all these years, I feel I have a better than average grasp on the work of city council, on what works and doesn’t work”, he explained. “I don’t see serving on city council as a job or a career. I’m not laying the ground work for a higher political calling. I see serving on council as a service to my com- munity. I’ve shown through my column writing that I am not afraid to tackle tough issues and take tough stands. I don’t stick my finger in the air to see which way the political wind is blowing on that particular day, an all too common trait with many politicians.” McIntosh’s political platform focuses mainly on taxes and other expenses. He continues: “As in every municipal election, taxes are the proverbial elephant in the room, he outlined. “There is no magic bullet when it comes to reducing or freezing property taxes. Some candidates are promising to cut taxes without reducing services. But they don’t say how they intend to follow through on their promise. I can’t make that promise. However, what I can promise is that I will push for cost-reducing mea- sures through more efficient ways of doing business and greater accountability from department heads vis-à-vis their spending.”
CORNWALL | Denis Sabourin is hoping his extensive years in both politics and journal- ism will help him secure a seat on Cornwall’s municipal council, in the upcoming elec- tions. “I have extensive experience in politics and I want to use that experience to help the city,” he explained. “(I’ve worked for) 15 years as an English Catholic school board trust- ee, a paralegal licensed by the Law Society of Upper Canada, a former national journalist and a community volunteer. Capitalizing on this experience, I want to bring common sense expe- rience to the council table. I understand politics and know how to work to help make things happen.” Important points on Sab- ourin’s agenda are transpar- ency and a better commu- nity spirit. “I would advocate on behalf of the citizens of Cornwall for an open and transparent government system,” he said. “I would like to see greater commu- nication from the City to its residents so that they will all understand the rationale behind council’s decisions and what council wants to accomplish in its next four- year term. I want to see a green plan for Cornwall’s waterfront. I want to see development of brownfield sites for commercial, residential and recreational use. I want to see the de- velopment of small businesses in the community and the attraction of new industry. To accomplish this, Council as a whole must develop a business plan so that these important items can be addressed and achieved.” city council, she believes that “the bad, and how it was handled, seems to overshadow any good.” “I want to be a part of the re-building of confidence for our city government,” she outlined. “The public keeps doing the same things. Yet, they expect different results. Let a new council get to work to start a new beginning for Cornwall.” Hug also believes that the current council favors certain groups over others and that “votes are being filtered through a small group who binds together to push its agreed-upon agenda through.” “Character is what counts,” she explained. “Track re- cord is what counts. New blood gives new results. By doing the same things, you never get anything different for results.”

CORNWALL | A healthcare worker by trade, Mary Ann Hug is one of 28 candidates who is hoping to have a seat around the council table on October 27. “We must gain our respect back for our elected officials,” she explained. “Now is the time for real change. Character, honesty, passion for excellence and new ideas should be the main focuses with regard to the choices for office.” Hug believes that the majority of Cornwall citizens want to see the end of“all controversy that has rocked our world over the last four years.” Although she admits that there have been several positive steps taken by the current

Five members of Emergency Medical Services are honored part of the waterfront. We are indeed fortunate to have a beautiful park in the heart of our city. We must protect Lamoureux Park as it is one of the city’s greatest assets and build a reputation around our waterfront.” M. Carr says he’s always had an interest in municipal politics and he believes that Corn- wall has a lot of potential. CORNWALL | Current councillor Denis Carr is hoping his many years of experience will secure him another four year term on council, in the upcoming municipal elections on October 27. “During the four years of this term of council, I served as Budget Committee Chair, there- by giving me the oppor- tunity to understand the op- erations of all city depart- ments and the challenges the budget presents to both administration and council,” he explained. “I work with the Heart of the City, the downtown revi- talization project and also work in cooperation with the Downtown and Le Vil- lage BIA’s.” If elected, Mr. Carr says he will support new devel- opment, especially in the waterfront area of the city. “I support a properly thought out development of the waterfront.

Votre santé | Your health Les tiques et les moustiques sont encore actives, il faut donc se protéger de leurs piqûres! Avec l’arrivée de l’automne, vous pensez peut-être que vous n’avez maintenant plus besoin de vous protéger des tiques et des moustiques. Mais ne vous pressez pas de ranger vos produits insecticides. En effet, certaines maladies que peuvent transmettre les moustiques et les tiques sont à leur maximum à la fin de l’été et à l’automne. La maladie de Lyme, le virus du Nil occidental et, plus récemment, le virus de l’encéphalite équine de l’Est (VEEE), comptent parmi celles-ci. La maladie de Lyme est une infection bactériologique causée par la piqûre d’une tique à pattes noires infectée (tique du chevreuil). Elle peut causer des symptômes qui se rapprochent de la grippe et une éruption cutanée qui ressemble à une cible rouge. Si elle n’est pas soignée, la maladie peut affecter le cœur, le système nerveux ou les articulations. Les comtés de l’Est sont considérés un secteur à risque élevé pour la maladie de Lyme et la tique à pattes noires. Le virus du Nil occidental se propage chez les personnes par une piqûre de moustiques infectées. La maladie qu’il cause varie des symptômes de grippe légers à des problèmes neurologiques graves. Le VEEE peut aussi se transmettre aux gens (et aux chevaux) par les moustiques porteuses du virus. L’infection par le VEEE chez les humains est rare, mais quand elle se produit, elle peut causer une maladie grave pouvant causer des lésions cérébrales ou la mort. Le mois dernier, un cheval a été diagnostiqué du VEEE dans les comtés de l’Est. Il faut continuer de se protéger parce que les moustiques sont actives jusqu’aux premières gelées et les tiques sont encore autour jusqu’à la fin de l’automne. • Appliquer un insectifuge qui contient du DEET. Observez toujours les directives du fabricant pour utiliser le produit de façon sécuritaire, surtout pour les enfants. • Assurez-vous que les contenants ouverts dans la cour, comme les couverts de piscine, les soucoupes sous les pots de fleurs, les jouets d’enfants, les pataugeoires, le bol du chien et les bains d’oiseaux sont vidés régulièrement de leur eau stagnante. • Portez des vêtements à manches longues, des pantalons longs, des bas et des chaussures fermées pour aller dehors. • Examinez-vous le corps pour détecter les tiques après être allé dehors. Enlevez toutes les tiques agrippées à l’aide d’une pince à épiler et nettoyez et désinfectez le site de la morsure. Contactez votre fournisseur de soins de santé si vous croyez que la tique s’était agrippée pendant plus de 24 heures ou si vous développez des symptômes qui ressemblent à la grippe ou une cible rouge. Pour en savoir davantage et vous protéger des piqûres de tiques et de moustiques, consultez le site Web du Bureau de santé de l’Est de l’Ontario à www.bseo.ca. Vous pouvez aussi appeler au 613-933-1375 ou 1 800 267-7120 et demander la ligne Appel-santé. Ticks and mosquitoes are still active, so protect against bites! With the arrival of fall, you may think the need to protect yourself from ticks and mosquitoes has passed. But don’t put away the insect repellent just yet. In fact, some of the diseases mosquitoes and ticks can pass on to people actually peak during late summer and fall. These include Lyme disease, West Nile virus and more recently, Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus (EEEV). Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by the bite of an infected blacklegged tick (deer tick). It can cause flu-like symptoms and a rash that looks like a red bull’s eye, and if untreated can affect the heart, nervous system or joints. The Eastern Counties are considered a high- risk area for blacklegged ticks and Lyme disease. West Nile virus is spread to people through the bite of infected mosquitoes and can cause illness ranging from mild flu-like symptoms to severe neurological problems. EEEV can also be transmitted to people (and horses) from mosquitoes that carry the virus. Human infection with EEEV is rare, but when it does occur it can cause severe disease leading to permanent brain damage or death. Last month, a horse in the Eastern Counties was diagnosed with EEEV. It’s important to continue protecting yourself because mosquitoes remain active until first frost, and ticks can still be found in late fall. • Use insect repellent containing DEET. Always follow the manufacturer’s directions for safe use, especially if applying to children. • Make sure that containers in and around the yard like pool covers, saucers under flower pots, children’s toys, wading pools, pet bowls and bird baths are emptied of standing water regularly. • Wear long sleeves, long pants, socks and closed footwear when outdoors. • Examine your body for ticks after being outdoors. Remove any attached ticks with tweezers and clean and disinfect the site of the bite. Contact your healthcare provider if you believe the tick was attached for more than 24 hours or if you develop flu-like symptoms or a red bull’s eye rash. Find out more about how to protect against tick and mosquito bites on the Eastern Ontario Health Unit’s website at www.eohu.ca. You can also call 613-933-1375 or 1 800 267-7120 and ask for Health Line.

Too little voting locations
I am concerned that the small number of voting locations in the City of Cornwall for the October 27 municipal election, as in the 2010 municipal election, will result in a lower voter turnout. For this election, the City of Cornwall is providing 10 voting locations to voters, in comparison to the 21 voting locations available to voters in the City of Cornwall in the June 12, 2014 provincial election. People are more inclined to vote if their polling station is located within walking distance of their home. Many seniors, disabled persons, and people without cars may not get out to vote if their polling station is far from their home. We should be doing everything possible to encourage everyone to exercise their demo- cratic right to vote. Having fewer voting locations discourages and prevents some of our residents from voting. In the interest of greater democracy in our municipal elections, the City of Cornwall should rectify this unfortunate situation and provide more voting locations for future mu- nicipal elections.

ARIES People will have some difficulty in getting you out of the house. You are feeling attached to your roots, as well as your old things, but don’t let them take up too much room in your life. TAURUS You have plenty to say for yourself and you express out loud what others only think. What’s more, you are able to assert your authority in a fairly complex situation. GEMINI It’s possible that you’ll have to in- vest a lot of time and effort in your work. You may even buy a new car to avoid troubles with your old ve- hicle. This purchase gives you a certain amount of prestige. CANCER You spare no effort in order to im- press people. At work, you succeed in building a big enough client base to achieve one of your ambitions. LEO If you’re still looking for the ideal job, you could get some inspiration about the way forward. You also benefit from a great imagination this week. VIRGO You may start to feel the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle. You won’t be shy about inviting your loved ones to embark on a physical activity together. LIBRA Whether you’re at the dawn of a new career or your retirement, you try to define your next steps. You need to clarify your vision for the future. SCORPIO Some sort of training propels your career towards new heights. You are greatly inspired by new chal- lenges that require a bit of patience to master. SAGITTARIUS After careful consideration, you make some significant changes in your life. You thoroughly review your priorities and decide on a future that better suits you. CAPRICORN You tend to say yes to everyone and put too much pressure on your- self to keep your promises. A size- able decision seems difficult to make without the right information. AQUARIUS You work a few extra hours, which significantly improves your finan- cial situation. Afterwards, you want to devote a little more time to your love life. PISCES You put yourself in a great position to be noticed. You feel proud of yourself. At work, you are given some kind of reward, or at least some warm applause.
