The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) is conducting a province-wide consultation on the potential impacts, both positive and negative, of the Energy East Pipeline in Ontario. In Part One of the consultation, the OEB sought the perspectives of Ontarians on four areas of potential impact: pipeline safety and the environment, natural gas supply, First Nation and Métis communities and economic impact.

The OEB is now beginning Part Two of its consultation as TransCanada has filed its Energy East application with the National Energy Board. We will be hosting a series of community discussions to present assessments of the application, which have been prepared by our technical advisors. We also invite your feedback on how the application addresses the potential impacts identified by Ontarians in Part One. Join us at a community discussion near you. All community discussions will run from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.

MacDonald: budget cuts can start with councillors CORNWALL, Ontario – A pair of city councillors are suggesting Mark MacDonald’s wish to cut as much as 20 per cent from the municipal budget may never get off the ground.

But the former councillor who was returned to the table in the October election is having nothing of it – and he knows where to start cutting.

“We could reduce the number of city councillors to eight from 10,” he said. “The average person on the street would see no change from something like that.”

MacDonald also suggested it’s time to send a clear message to department managers that budgets need to be chopped.

He added managers should be told to make cuts, without service changes.

“That’s not our job,” he said of city council.

“They need to figure out how to do that.”

Councillors Claude McIntosh and David Murphy agreed council should do everything it can to mitigate a tax hike – but 20 per cent over the four years that MacDonald wants will be tough to achieve, if not impossible, without cutting people and services.

MacDonald said his colleagues just aren’t looking hard enough to find savings.

“It is a fact that our police and fire budgets are growing at a disproportionate rate and that it is unrealistic to believe that our taxpayer can continue to carry this ever increasing burden,” he said in a statement.

Indeed the police, fire and EMS budget make

up half of the entire city budgets which is measured in tens of millions of dollars.

“It’s not fair for everyone involved that a few departments get a bigger share, year after year,” MacDonald continued. “Our social programs and our ability to help our seniors and those most vulnerable are the ones that will be impacted the most, if we do not deal with this issue.”

McIntosh was dubious of MacDonald’s assertions that the budget can be trimmed by as much as 20 per cent over the course of this council’s four-year term.

“That’s a pretty big order,” said McIntosh. “It’s a pretty tough number to find.”

MacDonald and McIntosh were two of 22 candidates for city council that signed a pledge seeking ways to lessen the tax burden on Cornwall ratepayers.

“I signed the pledge because I believe that we can cut the budget without cutting services,” said MacDonald. “The clear direction the new council must deliver is the same message and pledge that was signed by 22 candidates. The new council must give a direct order. ‘We do not need to tell them how to get it done, just get it done.’” Murphy said MacDonald’s wish is too rich for municipal coffers.

“I don’t think that is feasible,” he said. “You’re looking at cutting services. There’s a fine balance to maintain the service levels we have.

“But there’s no reason we can’t look for some savings.”

wish each other a happy New Year - and start off the year on a good foot,” said SD&G Highlanders Lieutenant-Colonel Stephen Young.

He says a major highlight for the Cornwallbased regiment was the awarding of a Theatre Honour for its participation in the war in Afghanistan.

But their numbers are down. Right now the Glens currently have roughly 80 members; whereas five years ago there were around 170.

In 2014, the Highlanders focused on mentoring to have skilled trainers for new recruits. A total of 60 rifleman positions are currently available.

“It’s a rebuilding year,” said Young. “We’ve lost a lot of soldiers over the last couple of years, mostly to transfers into the army or the police.”

The military makeover that the Canadian Army uniform received was another highlight Up The Glens: Pictured are Jim Brownell, for the Highlanders. At Christmas, the navalhonourary lieutenant-colonel of the type rank designation on the cuffs of officers SD&G Highlanders, and Maj. Steve Young, was replaced with the traditional “pips and the local military unit’s commander.

“It’s a return to roots, the way it should’ve been,” said Young.

WANTED: CHRISTMAS TREES RRCA seeks help with fish habitat project TODD LIHOU todd.lihou@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - Have you got a Christmas tree that has overstayed its welcome - or nearly so?

The Raisin Region Conservation Authority is seeking donations of real Christmas trees again this year to help with a fish habitat

restoration project within the agency’s watershed.

Norm Genier, a forestry specialist with the RRCA, said in an interview a similar project took place last spring at Camp Kagama in South Stormont where the trees were used to strengthen the shoreline.

“They provide temporary protection to the bank until other vegetation can take

hold,” he said. “Obviously there is lots of erosion going on.”

Genier isn’t sure where the next project will take place but said if more than the 50 or so trees that were donated last year come in, a larger area of shoreline will benefit.

The RRCA offices on County Road 2 near the Grey’s Creek Conservation Area will reopen Jan. 2 and trees can be dropped off at that locale.

NEWS

The practice of recycling natural Christmas trees is not new. In Ottawa the trees are dropped off at Constance Creek Wildlife Refuge, where a dozen or so goats will feast on them.

Alternatively, natural Christmas trees are picked up by the City of Cornwall until Jan. 16 as part of weekly waste collection. Leave the tree, along with your household garbage, at the end of your driveway on the day your trash is picked up.

Employment prospects for Cornwall workers

8 - Thursday, January

8, 2015 - Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

Ed Allard I sat down with Bob Peters from Cornwall’s Economic Development Department recently to talk about future employment prospects for Cornwall. Not surprisingly, Bob has a very upbeat view on this, but with good reason.

Here’s what I took away from the discussion.

Cornwall is well placed to attract new businesses. It’s next to a major east-west highway and is fairly centrally located between large markets in Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal. But our biggest asset is affordable, available, readily serviced land. That and a good employee base are what will attract large company operations. We’re also close to the border, but the local border point doesn’t easily connect to major American highways, so the benefit is less than one would expect. There is also the federal port, but the facilities are limited and there is no easy vehicle access for a large-scale operation.

One of the main targets of Economic Development is the logistics industry. But it’s not exclusive. Advanced manufacturing businesses, commercial retail and food manufacturing companies are also being approached because those skills are available here to some extent. There is also a market for businesses that support agriculture, though more so in the counties than in Cornwall itself. The main focus is on companies, of whatever type, that are growing and sustainable and

do not incur a big environmental impact.

For long term sustainability, logistics companies make sense for the community because it’s a growing business sector that adds to the employment base and it has very little environmental impact. Amazon is an example.

It’s a highly successful, global business that thrives entirely on online shopping.

You’d be hard pressed to find an Amazon retail store anywhere close by. But it does need distribution centres to get its products to consumers quickly, wherever they are. It has been the market leader for online shopping and other companies are adopting similar models. Retail stores are not out of the picture yet and probably won’t be anytime soon, though their growth potential is showing some stress. But the potential for warehouses and distribution centres has room to grow.

There is a view that distribution centres offer nothing but low paying jobs and are not what Cornwall needs. But that’s a short-sighted view for a couple of reasons.

First of all, most entry-level jobs at local distribution centres are paying better than the minimum wage. On the average, they are some 20-30% higher than wages for entrylevel jobs in the retail sector, at call centres and even in local manufacturing companies.

But entry-level salaries cannot be expected to match those of long-term, experienced employees who have a good collection of job

skills. Even Domtar had a range of salaries that ran from low paying entry level positions up to highly skilled equipment operators.

We must also factor in the spinoffs that these operations bring. For example, Walmart Logistics alone has some 900 overhead doors that need regular maintenance. Both Walmart and Eleven Points Logistics have large building envelopes as well as extensive air handling, heating and electrical systems, all of which require repair and maintenance.

They dispatch and receive hundreds of tractor-trailers daily, which need local fuel and some degree of local repair or maintenance.

They also have contracts with local palletmakers, cleaning services, security services and vending machine services, just to name a few. In addition, they have spawned logistics courses at St Lawrence College, which employ instructors and support staff. In all, it represents a healthy boost to the local economy and sustainable business customers for many local services and suppliers. The same also applies to other companies in the business park and among the other target industries, but on a smaller scale.

Companies that come here need to hire a competent work force. The people cost of any operation is usually the biggest cost by far and the quality of the work force directly impacts the company’s competitiveness.

Employers find that Cornwall workers generally have a solid work ethic. They are good workers and want to get the job done,

though, compared to other locations, the education level is somewhat lower. There is a lack of specialist skills such as engineers so companies that need those skills often must recruit outside of Cornwall. That can limit the interest of some companies. But there is lots of competition among employers for skilled employees.

Having St Lawrence College here is a valuable asset because it can offer a good variety of training to meet employer needs.

Prospective employees need to take full advantage of the opportunities offered there.

A local university would be a big plus for the community both for the jobs it would bring but also for the advanced education that would be available for a broader range of local residents.

A well-educated and trained workforce makes the community more competitive for attracting quality employers.

Overall, Cornwall’s employment potential remains positive. The economy has improved considerably since Domtar closed and the local business and industrial landscape has noticeably changed. The local area remains an attractive location for companies to build and invest. While there is a solid employee base, which adds value to the companies that hire them, there will be a continuing need for prospective employees to improve their education and skills to match employer requirements, if the area is to remain fully competitive.

A remote starter allows you to start your car or truck using a key-fob remote control without going outside. If you left the heat or A/C on, it turns on when the engine does. Your car can warm up cool down, so it’s nice and comfortable when you get in. A bonus is the warmed-up car thaws the ice on the windshield, too.

Here are some basics: • Systems range from $40 to $400, depending on whether they are combined with an alarm.

• Some work only on automatic transmission or fuel-injected engines; others work with all kinds of transmissions and fuel types. Make sure the system you purchase is compatible with your car.

From your comfortable vantage point inside, press a button or two on the remote and your ignition starts. Your

parking lights flash to signal it’s worked. To prevent a thief from driving off in your running car, the vehicle remains locked until you unlock it. You must also turn the key in the ignition before you can put the car in gear. If you change your mind, the remote starter can also turn off the engine, or the brake pedal acts as a kill switch.

CORNWALL, Ontario - The Cumberland Grads’ Maxime St.Pierre had a big offensive game, scoring one goal and contributing two assists in his team’s 7-2 win over the Cornwall Colts.

St.Pierre scored 15:58 into the first period to make the score 3-2 Cumberland. Thomas Mansbridge assisted on the tally. St.Pierre dished an assist on Tyler Pancel’s goal that made the score 1-0 Cumberland at 39 seconds into the first period. He added another helper on Pancel’s goal that made the score 5-2 Cumberland at 19:02 into the first period.

Cornwall fell victim to a deadly Cumberland power play, which ripped the Colts for four goals.

The Colts’ offense rang up 39 shots on Cumberland’s net.

Cornwall was helped by Nick Lalonde, who had a goal. Grant Cooper also scored for Cornwall.

VOLUME 5, NUMÉRO 39 LE JEUDI 8 JANVIER 2015 38 985 EXEMPLAIRES

Retour sur 2014: le défi de la visibilité pour les artistes franco-ontariens Les artistes franco-ontariens ont été plutôt en vue en 2014.

Sur les 40 spectacles présentés durant toute la saison et ce depuis le mois de septembre par le Mouvement d’implication francophone d’Orléans (MIFO), 17 sont à mettre à l’actif des Franco-Ontariens. Un ratio bien supérieur à la saison 2013-2014 où 12 du genre s’étaient produits.

L’année 2014 a aussi été belle pour les figures de proue franco-ontarienne telles que Véronic DiCaire. L’artiste originaire d’Embrun s’envolait vers l’Asie à l’automne pour assurer la première partie des spectacles de Céline Dion.

Dans un registre plus littéraire, le francoontarien Daniel Poliquin obtenait en fin d’année le Prix du Gouverneur général pour la traduction, tandis que l’écrivain Jean Fahmy

recevait le Prix France-Acadie en octobre.

Derrière les performances, le temps presse pour certaines initiatives artistiques francoontariennes afin de donner la visibilité nécessaire aux artistes. La Nouvelle-Scène affirmait en août vouloir lancer une campagne de financement pour amasser les 10,4 millions$ nécessaires au projet de construction de ses nouveaux locaux au 333, rue King Edward.

Les deux événements musicaux majeurs de l’été pour les francophones d’Ottawa ont été quelque peu en deçà des espérances. En juin, le Festival franco-ontarien (FFO) affichait un achalandage en baisse avec 4 000 spectateurs de moins.

La pluie se mêlait au Festival de la Curd, deux mois plus tard, bien que les organisateurs affirmaient avoir comptabilisé les 40 000

spectateurs habituels au-delà des tourniquets du site de St-Albert pour l’événement.

L’année n’a pas été des plus roses aussi pour le monde de l’édition franco-ontarienne.

Dans un dossier publié en juin, L’Express d’Ottawa révélait l’épée de Damoclès sur les librairies franco-ontariennes aujourd’hui au nombre de cinq et menacées par une loi québécoise désavantageuse ne les autorisant pas à vendre dans la Belle Province.

Sur une note plus gaie, la station francophone 94.5 Unique FM parvenait à se sortir légèrement de son marasme financier, quatre ans après son lancement. Le dévoilement des états financiers en novembre montrait que le passif de la radio s’était sensiblement réduit au cours de la dernière année.

Le Festival franco-ontarien a battu son plein en juin.

La génération Y a grandi devant la télé en regardant des émissions devenues cultes : PassePartout, Ciné-Cadeau et… Bleu nuit. C’est sur ce programme érotique diffusé pendant 20 ans à TQS que se sont penchés Éric Falardeau et Simon Laperrière, qui ont dirigé l’ouvrage Bleu nuit, histoire d’une cinéphilie nocturne.

SL: Le cinéma softcore a toujours été regardé de haut, souvent pour de bonnes raisons d’ailleurs. Ce qui est intéressant par contre, c’est que les héritiers de ce cinéma – des cinéastes audacieux qui n’ont pas peur d’aborder le thème de la sexualité de façon explicite – sont des cinéastes qui aujourd’hui se retrouvent à Cannes avec des films comme La vie d’Adèle, qui a remporté la Palme d’Or. C’est un peu grâce à Bleu nuit qu’on en est venus à accepter l’érotisme au cinéma.

À mon avis « Les Meilleures Pratiques » tue l’innovation DENIS THIBAULT

Est-ce que vous embauchés pour faire comme les autres ou suivre l’opinion de votre corporation/conseil d’administration ou est-ce que vous réfléchissez et faites votre choix par vous-même ?

Pour moi, le terme « Meilleures pratiques » m’offre un tas d’images d’un groupe de personnes et organisations qui travaillent dur pour devenir uniforme & médiocre, dirigée par ceux qui veulent suivre les autres. Quelle que soit ou peut être la ressemblance de deux organisations — même ceux qui sur la surface, semblent identiques, pour moi, l’idée d’implémenter une solution à votre entreprise ou société simplement parce que cela semble faire l’affaire pour un voisin, n’a aucun sens.

Est-ce que c’est vraiment pratique de ne pas

penser par vous-même et regarder profondément votre entreprise, sa réalité et son maquillage pour stimuler l’innovation? C’est vraiment une pauvre décision de plutôt copier ce qu’une autre organisation, qui a des employés différents, structure, clients, fournisseurs, partenaires et la culture pour ne citer que quelques-uns des nombreux facteurs qui rendent les organisations apparemment similaire... organisations qui sont probablement très différentes. Puis cette approche indique que vous êtes en train de créer une organisation où les gens vont arrêter de penser, perdent leur motivation et probablement devenir improductifs.

J’ai lu un article intéressant dernièrement intitulée «Agir comme un « grand enfant »: l’Importance d’être ‘Clueless’», qui était une histoire réfléchissante sur le démarrage d’un restaurant. Il m’est apparu que si les deux frères

avaient tout simplement suivi seulement les «Meilleures pratiques», ils auraient probablement échoué à atteindre leur plein potentiel. Ils auraient probablement commencé une autre entreprise médiocre. Au lieu ils ont utilisé leur force, leur inexpérience et leur manque d’idées préconçues avec un mélange de bonnes pratiques et leur restaurant est un succès.

Tim Horton est un autre bon exemple où la compagnie n’a pas suivit les meilleures pratiques mais ont inventé leur propre approche.

Est-ce qu’ils réussissent ? Les chefs de sociétés géniales qui bâtissent leur entreprise vous diront que les idées préconçues «Meilleures pratiques», sont l’ennemi de l’expérimentation et de nouvelles idées. Ils viennent souvent déguisés en phrases trop familières comme «voilà comment nous... faisons les choses et l’approche de l’industrie, «Meilleures

pratiques».

Beaucoup d’entre nous n’acceptent plus l’expression « Meilleures pratiques », comme je ne pense pas qu’elle sert la créativité, la productivité ou l’innovation. C’est mieux que rien mais cela ne mène pas loin.

Vos mieux abandonné sur les meilleures pratiques de plus de cinq ou dix ans et décidé de faire ce que vous pensez être approprié et gardé votre raison d’être comme votre pierre de touche avec les objectifs de la société. Les employées travaillent pour la compagnie ou société! Ai-je tort de penser de cette façon? Tout le monde gagne (salaires, bénéfices, etc.) quand l’employeur (votre compagnie, la société) a du succès, pas vrai? Peut-être ou peut-être pas, mais je serais ravi d’entendre votre avis. En tout cas, c’est ma façon de voir les choses… denist@eotb-cfeo.on.ca

«La saison est loin d’être terminée» -Pierre Bourdages, d.g au Mont Cascades Épisode de redoux et pluie verglaçante font la vie dure aux différentes stations de ski dans la province. Si les amateurs de sports de glisse se font moins présents sur les pentes pour le moment, les conditions des pentes, elles, ne se portent pas si mal grâce aux technologies.

«Chaque année, on connaît un moment de redoux. Disons que le temps des fêtes n’était pas la période idéale, mais il nous reste encore trois beaux mois devant nous. Il est trop tôt pour parler d’une mauvaise saison», soutient

Pierre Bourdages, directeur général du Mont Cascades. Avec la machinerie actuelle et les nouvelles technologies, les conditions peuvent être nettement améliorées rapidement.

En Outaouais, la quinzaine de centimètres de neige reçu avant les précipitations de pluie verglaçante a permis de créer une base solide sur les pistes. Avec le retour du froid intense prévu en début de semaine, M. Bourdages est confiant: «On pourra refaire la surface de certaines pistes et même en ouvrir d’autres. En 24

heures, on peut facilement atteindre un rendement optimal».

Il est clair que les amateurs de descentes se font plus timides depuis le début de la saison.

L’achalandage devrait augmenter considérablement dans les prochains jours et, à plus long terme, en mars, grâce aux semaines de relâche du Québec et de l’Ontario.

Rappelons que la période des fêtes représente 18.1% de l’achalandage annuel des stations de ski du Québec selon les dernières

données de l’Étude économique et financière de l’industrie. L’hiver dernier, 1 094 000 skieurs et planchistes ont dévalé les pentes du Québec, une hausse de 8.2 % par rapport à 2012-2013.

Par ailleurs, les statistiques indiquent qu’un skieur sur cinq provient de l’extérieur du Québec et que pour chaque dollar dépensé dans l’achat d’un billet de ski, 7$ sont générés dans les services touristiques tels que la restauration, les cours de ski ou encore l’hébergement.

OPINION

WE ALL LOST WHEN IT COMES TO THE VINCENT RINK

todd.lihou@tc.tc

Talk about getting caught between a rock and a hard place.

City hall found itself refereeing what was essentially a neighbour dispute on a normally quiet Cornwall street when the Vincent family built a huge rink, complete with boards, on their front lawn.

The family did the same thing last year, but some neighbours had had enough, and complained to the city about a bylaw contravention.

Cue the theatrics, because days before Christmas the family received an order mandating the removal of the rink’s boards.

The family leapt to social media, and posted images of the rink and the notice from the city hall, in hopes that they would receive some help and support.

Boy, did they ever…the rink issue became the talk of the town over Christmas.

Things finally came to a head this week when, after the Vincents refused to remove the boards by a Monday deadline, city crews began the process of removing them…just like they said they would.

It’s kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation for city hall.

If the municipality had left the boards in place, then the masses (at least the vocal ones who have reached out to us) would have been thrilled.

But the family was clearly breaking the rules, and had city hall let them off the hook it may have set a dangerous precedent that others looking to circumvent municipal bylaws could exploit.

So…the city played this one by the book.

Ultimately the family felt the heat, and removed the boards with a group of volunteers Monday night after the city started the process with the removal of snow and ice surrounding the rink earlier in the day.

It’s unfortunate the city couldn’t find another compromise to assuage all parties. I really liked Coun. David Murphy’s idea of allowing the rink boards until winter’s end, with a strict warning that they had to be out in the spring, never to return.

It seems to me such a move would have given the family some breathing room, and would have satisfied the city’s bylaw people.

There was also the argument that the city could have been found liable if someone had been injured on the rink, or by a flying puck while walking by. I’m not sure such a scenario would be a slam

dunk in court…if it came to pass at all. Lawyers would have certainly argued the Vincents, as the builders of the rink, be on the hook before anyone else.

All those sentiments are a matter for the coffeeshop quarterbacks now, because the boards are out.

It’s also quite clear, from this desk, that the Vincents weren’t prepared for the onslaught of publicity they received as a result of this issue.

When I spoke with Laura Vincent Monday she looked like she’d been through the wringer. Her family, she said, felt much the same.

“We’re not public people,” she said. “We don’t like having our picture taken, let alone all this stuff.”

Most people would find themselves agreeing with her – talking to journalists every other day and having a family decision second-guessed across the city, and indeed the country, is not pleasant.

But it should be noted that the Vincents went public on their own. Laura posted images of the rink, and the notice from the city, on Facebook – before the issue went public via our initial report.

Unfortunately, sometimes these things have a way of getting away from you, before you realize what’s about to happen. I think that is what took place this time.

SOME PREDICTIONS AS WE HEAD INTO A NEW YEAR

14 - Thursday, January

8, 2015 - Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

CLAUDE MCINTOSH

DIVING INTO 2015 WITH SOME FEARLESS PREDICTIONS: * Willie Wise, with his lawyer back from a honeymoon, (finally) will be sentenced in a San Francisco courtroom for his involvement in a Ponzi scheme that bilked dozens of folks out of their retirement money while he lived the high life with their savings.

If the judge decides to throw the book at him, he could get 39 years. But he has a few things going for him: He gave himself up after hiding out in Toronto, he pleaded guilty and he is co-operating with federal prosecutors. That’s a nice way of saying he will rat out his partner who has pleaded not guilty. Oh yes, he has expressed deep remorse for his evil deeds. Now that makes the victims feel better.

In the end, he might end up serving two or three more years in the slammer before being shipped back to Canada for the rest of his sentence. If that happens, he could be out within six years. Part of his conditions should be that he can never again own a hockey team.

He will then write a book and become a TV evangelist. * The Harper government will have trouble holding the reins of power, at least with a majority, but in Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry, Super Guy will keep the riding in the Conservative fold.

If Justin Trudeau doesn’t at least visit the riding once during the campaign, you will know that the Liberals have written off the riding.

Anyone accepting the Liberal nomination should do so with a guarantee that Trudeau the Younger will make more than a whistle stop during the campaign.

The Libs and NDP will slug it out for second

place. Put your money on the Libs. * Back in the 1980s I wrote a story for The Hockey News about a former NHL referee turned Memorial Cup winning coach becoming a member of Parliament. The headline said “One More Hill to Climb”. The same headline could be used for Bob Kilger’s second battle with cancer in less than four years. A born optimist, you can bet he will come out on top, again. * Yes, the River Kings will be back for the 201516 season with a new twist - the same owner from start to finish, and a lot less off-the-ice drama.

However, the team will need bigger paid customers to pay the bills. * No, the Cornwall Colts will not be sold. Of course, what would a Colts’ season be without the rumour that the team is being sold. This year’s rumour was that the Benson family was buying the team and moving it to the Benson Centre. Next year’s rumour? The team is being sold.

SEEN AND HEARD Never thought I would see the day when I had a better credit rating than the Province of Ontario. ... Best name for a weatherman?

How about WICY’s (Malone, N.Y.) Storm Kennedy. ..

The Cat down in New Orleans is set to open a new sports bar called the ‘1st & 10 Sports Bar N Grill’. It has 25 wide screen TVs, 64 taps of draft and will carry 100 different brands of beer. He says if you’re down New Orleans way, stop in. ... Wow. We started 2014 with Tankgate and finished with Rinkgate.

THIS AND THAT The Indians Times reports that the free ride is over for Akwesasne residents who have their vehicles seized at the Cornwall port of entry by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). Since September 2009, the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne (MCA) has paid the $1,000 (and up) fines for community members whose vehicles are seized for the first time. Since then, the

MCA has paid out a whopping $313,868 in fines.

After Jan. 23, Akwesasne residents are on their own. The fines were mostly for non-reporting violations after the CBSA port moved off Cornwall Island to this side of the St. Lawrence River. ... Read Bob Probert’s “Tough Guy” book during the holidays. Not the kind of book you want the kiddies reading. X-rated all the way. Couple of good lines, however. Like when he was riding out another drug/alcohol induced hangover on the couch and his mother-in-law, a born-again Christian, demanded to know if he intended to keep serving the Devil or start serving the Lord. Probert dragged himself off the couch and announced that he was going out to have a cigarette ... to think it over. At the time of his far too early death, he was dependent on eight highly addictive OxyContin pills a day.

HERE AND THERE Roy Julien who passed away in December was one of the dedicated volunteer coaches who made the Youth Bowling Council (YBC) program such a huge success story in this city. A pretty good five-pin bowler, he also enjoyed golf and curling. He was president of the Cornwall Curling Centre’s senior program for 15 years. ... The last surviving councillor who served with Mayor Ed Lumley (1972-74) has died. Ken Bough was 89. Members of that council who predeceased Bough were Guy Leger, Aime LeBlanc, Gerald Samson Sr., Aurele Clement, Doug Webster, Francis Guindon, Doug Fawthrop, Angelo Lebano, Jack Pescod, Matt Holden and George Cameron.

IN THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR Bell bottoms, Nehru suits, Bobby socks and galoshes. ... High school sock hops and tea dances. Sock hops were usually at night, tea dances in the afternoon after a football or basketball game. ... Old expressions

The facts, though, are indisputable. The rink boards broke the rules…the Vincents admit as much. I think where this thing went off the rails is when both sides began to dig in their heels.

Who dug the deepest, the quickest, is a matter of debate. But what is clear is the city gave the family time to remove the boards.

The response from the Vincents at a small rally on Boxing Day was the boards were going nowhere – which I’m sure was greeted with something akin to “Wanna bet?” at city hall.

That brought us to Monday, when the boards were finally removed. No one won, because we all lost on this one.

The Vincents are minus a pretty sweet rink, their neighbours have been vilified across Cornwall, others are pointing fingers at the couple for breaking the rules, city hall has taken it on the chin for being too tough and the story went national – sending a poor message to Canadians about all of us here in Fun City – which does few favours for us in the media biz who helped spread the story.

From this desk it appears the city, reluctantly, made the right decision – though I think a little more could have been done to salvage the outdoor hockey season this winter on Monaco Crescent.

swallowed up by the passage of time - “Dutch treat.”“Warts and all.”“Flash in the pan.”“Lily livered.”

“Different kettle of fish.” “Not enough room to swing a cat.” ... When kids pored over the daily newspaper comics. They were called comic strips and included Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, Beetle Bailey, Mandrake the Magician, Tom and Jerry, Archie, Popeye, Bondie, Peanuts and Little Orphan Annie. ... The city police shooting range on the old canal bank just west of the Stormont Mill that burned down Halloween night 1961. ... The balconies at the Palace and Capitol theatres. The walls couldn’t talk but the projectionists could. ...

The elegant Capitol ticket booth that should be on public display. ... Wilson Wool Shop next to the Capitol. ... Western Tire, owned and operated by Charles and Don Deebank, on lower Pitt Street, next to Bob Bough’s diner, Moffat Press operated

by Harry Moffat and later Bill Taylor, Boyd’s Beauty Salon and Irwin Motorcycle Shop. ...

Granny Irwin, an around town fixture who was still driving a motorcylce well into her 80s. She knew more about motorcyles than most of the guys driving them around town.

TRIVIA ANSWER The service station at 15 Montreal Rd. (now an empty lot) opened in 1933 as Julien’s Service Station and in 1937 became Landon Service Station. In the mid-1950s it became Cecil Barr’s ESSO station.

TRIVIA The captain of the 1972 Memorial Cup champion Royals has spent almost 40 years in the National Hockey League as a player and team executive.

SPORTS STUFF Did you notice the die-hard commie waving the old Communist USSR hammer and sickle flag after the Ruskies bounced the U.S.A. out of the World Junior Championship quarterfinal? Didn’t know V. Putin was at the tournament.

Old Salts host Old Jocks

Dear editor, On an evening in mid December 1985 elderly men broke bread and conversed on significant and humourous times in the past at their Annual Christmas Dinner hosted by the Cornwall Navy Club. Men who at one time provided countless hours of entertainment for the citizens of Cornwall and area and many other communities throughout Canada and the United States as players of competitive sport.

Old Jocks, as this group has been baptized, a collection of men whose contracts had ran out many years ago as athletes and support staffers

Save money on energy bills

(NC)—Home is where the heart is, where families grow, and generally where the most of our leisure time is spent. Working with green technology for the best insulation will keep your house warm, welcoming, comfortable and cozy—and will save you money, all at the same time.

Insulation advancements are on the horizon at all times, experts say. Take a look an innovation

by Icynene, for example. Their soft, expanding spray foam insulation and air barrier material,

protects homeowners from the harmful outdoor environment and from energy-robbing air leakage. Icynene pioneered the spray foam technology and now leads in industry training. Why are homeowners turning to spray foam insulation?

Experts tell us that older insulation types such as fibreglass, will settle, compact and sag over time, decreasing their insulation properties. Spray foam insulation is energy efficient, says Icynene, and it has a high R-value due to its ability to seal

and insulate at the same time.

The spray foam solutions are created with water blowing agents and renewable and recycled content, which help reduce greenhouse gas emissions to support a healthier environment. Spray foam insulation can be used in new home construction or additions and insulation upgrades to existing homes (attics, crawlspaces) during remodeling projects. With spray foam insulation you can maintain healthy indoor air

while reducing your HVAC equipment needs and saving in energy bills. In addition, homeowners can conserve construction materials without the need for excess sealing and still achieve optimal airtightness. Spray foam insulation doesn’t off gas over time, performs at peak levels for the lifetime of your home, and because airborne moisture is controlled, the durability of the building remains unthreatened by the growth of mould and mildew.

Boards removed from controversial rink

In loving memory of a dear husband who passed away on January 3rd, 2014

Nothing can ever take away The love a heart holds dear, Fond memories linger every day, Remembrance keeps him near.

Forever, Pat Ken Warden

blocking access to the rink, said city municipal works manager Bill de Wit. Police later arrived and the vehicle owners moved their cars, said Sgt. Troy St. Germain.

The move by the city was met with dismay

by Laura Vincent, who along with her husband Brian built the rink for their children and others to skate on.

“They sent some guys over to remove the snow and said they would evaluate,” she said.

Vincent thanked the many supporters who reached out to the family over the last few weeks.

“During a time like this you realize who truly cares and encourages each other,” she said.

“There are so many people to thank I wouldn’t know where to start.”

Vincent earlier complained that Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy had assured her the city would allow an extra few days to have boards removed.

The mayor conceded that point in an inter-

view, but pointed out the Vincents were steadfast in their opposition to the city’s plan.

“It became clear from the public statements they were making that they were not going to remove the boards,” O’Shaughnessy said in an interview.

Vincent told Seaway News during a small rally at the rink on Boxing Day that the family would not remove the rink boards.

The family faced the prospect of being sent a bill for the work.

Such a bill would have likely been measured in the hundreds or thousands of dollars, depending on the scope of the work.

City councillors had informally discussed the issue of the Vincent family rink since Seaway News broke the story just before Christmas.

Neighbours in the area complained to the city about the rink, but critics have suggested the municipality and neighbours are being too heavy-handed.

Special thanks to Father Kevin Maloney of St. Francis de Sales Parish in Cornwall, for the lovely service as well as to the Nativity Guards for being pallbearers for the service.

Book on the way from ‘little historian’

The families of Yvette Patenaude would like to thank relatives, friends and neighbours who expressed their condolences through Mass cards, sympathy cards & flowers, as well as visits to the funeral home and service.

CORNWALL, Ontario - City crews began the process of removing controversial rink boards from a Cornwall home - and the homeowners finished the job Monday night.

The Vincent family, faced with municipal crews who were expected to return Tuesday and dismantle the boards on a city right-ofway, removed the boards on public property Monday night with the help of a small group of volunteers.

The first to go Monday was the snow surrounding the Vincent family rink that became the centre of controversy just before Christmas when the city issued an order mandating the removal of the boards.

Their construction contravened a municipal right-of-way bylaw.

Crews were delayed by many who decided to park their vehicles around the property,

DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION

CORNWALL, Ontario - Cornwall’s ‘little historian’ is at it again - but she’s thinking big this time.

Sara Lauzon, who has made a name for herself in Cornwall with reams of material uncovered about the House of Refuge and bodies buried at its Eleventh Street locale, is penning a book about the now-defunct residence for the physically disabled and mentally unstable.

Lauzon, who graduated university in 2014, is looking to put her history degree to good use by furthering the story of one of Cornwall’s dirty little secrets.

‘Ghosts’ will tell the story of the House of Refuge and the people who lived at the facility, from 1913 to 1952.

“There were 906 inmates there,” said Lauzon. “Yes, they were called inmates.

“And that means there are 906 stories to tell.”

While she is unlikely to get into the specifics of each case, Lauzon wants to cast more light on the House of Refuge and its role in

Sara Lauzon, Cornwall’s ‘little historian’, is penning a book about the House of Refuge, once located on Eleventh Street. The facility is now a home for the aged.

Cornwall’s history.

Lauzon said telling the stories of these people, who are often left in the shadows while the spotlight shines on more popular politicians, athletes and philanthropists, has become an all-consuming joy.

Many people who lived at the House of Refuge, and died there, were buried on the property.

“I’m hoping people will come and speak to me about it,” she said. “Especially now that

Canada is winter, eh!

Nick Wolochatiuk Dances With Words nuthilltoo@gmail.com Canada includes winter. Take away winter, it would just be Costa Rica, Cozumel or Cuba. As Gilles Vigneault sang, “Mon pays, ce n’est pas un pays, c’est l’hiver” So you don’t like winter. Get over it! Winter is part of being a Canadian. You shouldn’t just tough it out, you should actually enjoy all it has to offer.

Winter outdoor activities are free of mosquitoes, wasps, deer flies, no-see-ums, black flies, snapping turtles, poison ivy and stinging nettles. No Georgian Bay winter hiker has ever been bitten by a Massasauga rattler.

Hibernating grizzlies don’t attack people.

Some people get very creative when dealing with winter’s long, cold nights. Hmmm…I wonder if there’s a statistical spike in the birth

rate nine months after winter.

When I was in Yellowknife there were lengthy opportunities to gaze at the Northern Lights during those long winter nights,. A fireworks display opened the Snowking Winter Festival on Great Slave Lake. [‘Snowking’ – that’s how they spell it at that latitude] The fuses were lit quite early in the ‘day’. Darkness arrives early at that latitude. However, their Canada Day display has to be delayed until the cows come home, and that’s quite late.

Night-time aviators get a lot of pluses from winter. Moonlight is gentle on the eyes. Flying during the long winter nights is free of glaring sun and bumps due to heat-generated thermals. Engine performance is frisky in comparison with the sluggishness caused by summer’s heat and humidity.

To free your car from a snowdrift, you need to dig down only to hard ground; in summer, however, your car can sink all the way to China

they will know what this is all about.”

Lauzon expects it will take about a year to finish her book.

“Now that I’m finished university, I have the time to write,” she said.

Her book will also focus on St. Paul’s Home, another Cornwall facility similar in nature to the House of Refuge that operated in the Seaway city from 1907 to 1964.

“There a lot of transfers from St. Paul’s Home to the House of Refuge,” said Lauzon.

in a mud hole. Besides, once you get unstuck from a snow drift, you don’t have to take your vehicle to a car wash or your clothes to a Laundromat.

The chocolate bars you stash in the glove compartment don’t morph into a syrupy goo during winter.

If there were no winter, just think of all the travel agents who book you into Veradero, Maui, Crete or Bizerte that would be unemployed and out pounding the icy streets until their unemployment and welfare benefits kicked in.

Winter’s sub-zero temperatures remind a man almost instantly that he’s inadvertently left the fly of his trousers undone.

Hey! There’s no grass to mow during the winter. Chores such as weeding the garden, painting the outside of the house and shingling the roof are out of the question. Winter allows mañana to be postponed until April.

From a reader: The 2015 C.P.P. increase is for the grand sum of 1.8%. If you are at the maximum of $1,065, your raise will be $19.17 for a grand total of $1,084.17 per month or an annual increase of $230.04. WOW! How can we afford to give the CEO of C.C.A.C. a raise of $6,700 per year?

Still a hockey town: The Cornwall Colts PeeWee B Rep team won a gold medal at the CHE tournament in Lake Placid.

Kudos to Roland Besner and Trevor Wotherspoon for helping the Vincent family, in frigid temperatures, remove boards from the controversial rink on Monaco Crescent.

“ONLY 350 MORE DAYS UNTIL WE SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN MY FRIEND!” Mortimer the elf is hugging Gracie goodbye as he departs for his voyage back to the North Pole!

Gracie, a 9 year old golden retriever, is a registered St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog. Proud owner: Debbie Furniss.
