Seven Nations call for forensic audit Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

AKWESASNE – The Seven Nations of St. Regis want to know where their community fund is, particularly over $20 million given to the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne (MCA) by the OPG in a 2008 settlement.

According to the Seven Nations, the money from the Ontario Power Generation (OPG) settlement was supposed to be put into the community trust fund, but when they as members of the community ask about its status, they have not been given answers they feel are satisfactory.

“The MCA won’t give a report on the finances,” said Seven Nations Grand Chief Mike Thomas. “This makes us believe they have absolutely absconded with the money.”

The fund is managed by a committee that the Seven Nations feel is answerable to the MCA and not the community.

The Seven Nations is demanding a full audit of the community fund.

“We want a forensic audit,” said Thomas.

“We want to know where every cent of the fund has gone ASAP. We are demanding financial accountability.”

They feel that the only way to get a fair forensic audit is to petition the Province of Ontario who initiated the OPG land agreement with the MCA. The MCA acquired Sheek Island, Presque Isle and Tucson islands in the OPG deal, but the Seven Nations is concerned that these lands are full of chemicals and waste and that they will cost more to develop.

In the view of the Seven Nations, this decision in regards to lands and their questions about the money from the settlement has given them cause to question their ability to act in the best interest of their community.

CORNWALL, Ontario - The city’s hottest new nightclub, The Hangover Bar is now officially open for business.

With the official grand opening taking place last Monday, June 26, owners, Yogi Patel, Jamie Jarvo, and Sushil Patel say that they’re hoping the club will breathe some life into the city’s nightlife.

“I’ve been involved in the local bar scene for a long while now,” said Jarvo. “There used to be a lot going on in Cornwall, and we’re just trying to get back to that.”

With a Vegas feel, the bar now features an LED dancefloor to keep the party going.

Yogi says that while he has been the proud

owner of several local businesses, this has always been the dream.

“We’ve got a really wonderful team,” said Yogi. “I’m very excited to see how people respond.”

Hoping to tie into the city’s upscale food and beverage scene, Jarvo says that creating a network has always been important to him.

“We’re trying to offer a classy venue that works well with the rest of the downtown,” said Jarvo. “If we can find ways to promote one another, we all win.”

The club hopes to offer a wide range of events to appeal to all ages. For more information about the Hangover’s upcoming events, check out their Facebook page.

CORNWALL, Ontario - Despite the rain, Canada Day festivities were in full-swing at Lamoureux Park.

Kicking off at noon, the event featured a full day of entertainment, wrapping up with a performance by locally celebrated blues musician, Paul Deslauriers.

15-year Canada Day Committee veteran, David Runions says that the rain didn’t dampen the spirits of Cornwall residents.

“We’re pretty impressed, people are slowly making their way down,” said Runions. “All in all, they’re showing resilience – at least it’s not snow.”

While the day got off to a soggy start, Cornwallites perused the array of food vendors, and enjoyed some kid-friendly activities like the petting zoo, bouncy castles, and children’s fun zone.

Runions says that they tried to prepare for the weather, setting up larger tents around, and pushing the bands further back on the stage.

Runions, who was in charge of entertainment, says that he wanted to feature up-and-coming talent, and Deslauriers was a natural fit.

“When Paul Deslaurier’s name came up, a lot of people on the committee were very responsive,” said Runions. “He’s a monster on stage, and I’m talking a real monster, and I think he’s going to blow the walls off this park.”

Runions has seen the celebration grow a great deal since he was first involved in the committee.

“It used to be that you could throw a frisbee and not worry about hitting anybody,” said Runions. “But now it’s monstrous. We get thousands of people in the afternoon.”

With fireworks still set to take place at 10 p.m. patrons were embracing the weather in true Canadian fashion.

EDUCATION CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall native Sean Charles returned to the city a year ago and began looking for a job in his hometown.

After some searching, he soon found work and an opportunity for rapid advancement in Cornwall’s expanding tech sector.

In November, Sean became one of the first to join the team of Xplornet’s new Cornwall office.

Sean was a part of the first training Customer Service Representatives group for Xplornet, Sean spent two weeks being trained in different software and in customer service strategies.

“Being a Customer Service Representative is a great place to start,” he said. “There is a

good starting salary, which can be increased if you’re bilingual and after those two weeks of training you are on the floor.”

Customer Service Representatives and other types of User Support Technicians is a flexible and an in demand career in Cornwall and the United Counties.

Sean explained that Xplornet is still looking to hire. When Xplornet announced it was building an office in Cornwall, it promised to bring 130 jobs with it and Sean says that it will likely grow from there.

“It is a great company to work for,” he said.

“There are all sorts of different company incentives and programs. There is also a lot of room for advancement.”

Sean knows exactly how many opportunities there are for someone eager to advance as he has been promoted twice since he started in November.

First, Sean was promoted to a Technical Support Specialist where he was a troubleshooter and provided technical support.

Now he has been promoted to team manager where he will be overseeing his own team of Customer Service Representatives and Technical Support Specialists.

The Xplornet office in Cornwall is designed to be a new multi-function office, and house staffing involved in technical service, customer care, sales, network and corporate support.

Innovative ideas for summer start-ups Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - From farming to Freezies and from filming to writing there were all sorts of new business ideas on display from Cornwall’s future entrepreneurs.

Nine students this year are taking part in the Summer Company program which officially launched on Friday, June 30 at the Civic Complex.

The program is funded by the Province of Ontario and is run through Cornwall’s Business Enterprise Centre.

Each participant is receiving $3, 000 in startup funding and mentoring from local business leaders.

“We are excited for our young entrepreneurs,” said Candy Pollard of the Business Enterprise Centre. “Each one had an idea and the drive to create a business and marketing plan. Now that school has finished for the

summer, they will be moving full speed ahead to put their marketing plans into action and gain customers.”

One such young entrepreneur was Frederick Lariviere, 18-years-old and a recent graduate of La Citadelle high school.

He had the idea to sell Freezies during the summer at pools and events after the success of a Freezy sale he helped organize at his school while he served on student council. He is using his start-up capital to get an electric scooter, a cooler and a trailer and plans on hitting up all of the hot events this summer. His jumbo Freezies will be available for one dollar.

Another summer company had to have their product penned in. Katie Atkin, a 17-yearold graduate of Char-Lan DHS is raising local, organic sheep with her summer company funding.

“The selling point is that it is local and people want to support local,” she said.

a fishing day for the local kids.

The Fishing Derby kicked off with some lessons on water safety from the CCPS and the Optimist’s Club provided lunch before everyone got set to fishing along the banks of the St. Lawrence River behind the RCAF Wing on

Water Street.

All the kids received fishing rods and tackle boxes that they were allowed to keep and the Lunker’s Club was on hand to give them a few angling tips.

In all 51 kids got to participate.

“A lot of kids today never had a chance to do this,” said Luc Richer a volunteer at the event.

“Kids on a day like this might be inside watching T.V. or playing video games, but it doesn’t take much to fish. Just walk down to the water and do it for an hour.”

Champions oF WorkForCe Development The Eastern Ontario Training Board has been helping the people of Cornwall, SDGPR and Akwesasne augment their employment skills for nearly 20 years. Hundreds of individuals looking to enter the workforce, return to work or improve upon the skills and assets they possess have turned to the EOTB to make a splash in the local labour market.

The mandate of the EOTB has remained consistent since the agency was incorporated in 1998 – to ensure access to quality local

labour market information; engage employers to help identify skill gaps, employment opportunities and training needs; support stronger linkages among employment services, including the Akwesasne Area Management Board, to help workers find jobs and careers. The agency has branched out to address the needs of newcomers to our community, including individuals who have moved to the Cornwall area from other communities and countries.

Speed and break tips while putting makes sense. But knowing this ahead of time can shave a few strokes off your score.

For the beginning golfer, when you understand contour and grain, you can put the two together and think of putts this way: Putts that are running with the grain will tend to “run” faster, so you will need to adjust your putting “force” accordingly. In other words, you won’t have to hit the ball as hard to make it go the same distance.

When you are putting cross-slope and your putts are running with the grain they will break more and must take this into account when you are lining up your shot.

If you are putting cross-slope against the grain, your putt with break less, and, again, this must be taken into account before you even touch the ball with your putter.

If you have to putt against the grain, strike the ball a little harder than usual. These putts will tend to run slower and without that added force you’ll be coming up short.

When you have to putt downhill and with the grain, your putts will not only run faster but they will break more. In this case, strike the ball with less force and let gravity take care of the rest.

The opposite, of course, is also true. If you are putting uphill and against the grain, expect your putts to run slower and break less. In this case, put a little extra on the ball to get it up the hill and to overcome the break.

When judging the break, think of a plumb bob.

The rule of thumb when judging a break, and the size of the break, is to use plumb bobbing. Golfers have been using this technique for years and the reason why is because it works!

First, you need to find your dominant eye.

Here’s how you can do that. Make a circle with your thumb and forefinger, and with both eyes open, place an object in the

21st AnniversAry 36 Second Street East, Cornwall, ON K6H 1Y3 Tel: (613) 938-8933

Stroke Fore Stroke

GOLF TOURNAMENT

middle—something like a tv, lamp, or book will do. Now alternately close your left eye, and then your right eye. Whichever eye keeps the object in the middle of circled fingers is your dominant eye.

Now that you know which is your dominant eye, line up your putter, with the putter hanging freely between your thumb and index finger, behind your ball so that it matches up with the flag stick. With your dominant eye open, you will notice that the ball is either to the left, right, or straight on.

Straight on means there is no break.

If the ball is to the left, the putt will generally break right to left. And, of course, it will break left to right if the ball is to the right.

This is not an exact science, but it will helps give you some idea of where the ball will go and you can plan your putt accordingly.

If you keep of all of this in mind the next time you putt, you should notice an improvement in your putting. But nothing, and I mean nothing, takes the place of good old practice.

As you already know, the act of putting is a series of combined efforts. From getting the right stance to following through properly, putting is an entire series of techniques and flow, and they all have to come together in order to sink that ball. But there are two areas in putting that have almost nothing to do with the mechanics of putting, and, yet, they are crucial to keeping your putting strokes down. They are: judging speed and estimating the break.

Learning how to deal with these two issues is one of the toughest parts of the golf game to improve, and usually it takes a lot of practice and experience before you are able to make any significant change. However, there are some things you can do to help you improve your consistency on the greens and help you to sink more putts.

Here are a few tips that might help: Examine the grain first: The term ‘grain’ is simply the direction is which the grass grows.

This can be determined by looking for the ‘shine’ or ‘sheen’ of the putting surface. When the green reflects the sunlight and appears brighter, you are looking down grain. Putts down grain, or with the grain, will usually run faster.

2. Reading the Contour: When you are walking to the green, study the general slope of the land. A good rule of thumb to remember is that most greens are built higher at the back and lower toward the front. This will definitely impact how you play a shot on the green. It’s also good to know when you’re chipping up to the green in your approach.

When you are putting from the front of the green (assuming that it slopes downward from back to front), the putt will be uphill.

When you are putting from the back, the putt will be downhill.

Now with this mind, any putt across this kind of green will usually break toward the front lower portion of the surface, which only

History unveiled in parkette Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - The culmination of a year’s worth of work shone through the rain in Cornwall’s Historic Parkette on Friday, June 30.

Ten new historical plaques were be unveiled.

The plaques commemorate historical landmarks and events from Cornwall’s history.

The plaques commemorate the Cornwallis Hotel, which was located right behind the Parkette area, the Capitol Theatre, the Great Fire of Cornwall, The History of the First St. and Pitt St. intersection, the history of Pitt St. between

Second and Third streets, the Cornwall Orphanage, the Rossmore House, the New York Café (now Koala Place) and Town Hall.

These plaques represent the downtown component of the Cornwall Historic Walking Tour. Last year, Le Village BIA and the Downtown BIA along with the City of Cornwall and the Heart of th City collaborated to install 20 plaques in Le Village and along he waterfront.

The Cornwall Historic Walking Tour weaves a tapestry of local history through illustrations that dot the landscape throughout the city.

Each of the plaques measures 76x101 cm

In totall, the plaques represent one part of a $100, 000 investment in Cornwall’s downtown, part of which will also include new benches, garbage recepticles and bike racks.

“We Cornwallites have always lamented the loss of our historic buildings downtown primarily to fire,” said Brenda Campbell, one of the committee members that helped bring the plaques to life.

In the future, there is a plan to install at least two more plaques, one memorializing the Seaway International Bridge and the other the friendships Canadian soldiers from Cornwall made in Holland during World War II. “The selling point is that it is local and people want to support local,” she said.

Brookdale Avenue re-opens CORNWALL, Ontario - On Monday, June 26, Brookdale Avenue re-opened to traffic.

Since 2009, Brookdale Ave. and the Seaway International Bridge has been under various stages of construction as the previous, taller bridge structure was replaced with a flatter, more direct route to Cornwall Island.

The project was a cooperation between the City of Cornwall and the Federal Government. It involved extensive work high above ground, on ground-level and under the surface.

It has seen three municipal General Managers of Infrastructure guide it to completion;Norm Levac, John Wintle and finally, John St. Marseille.

As of June 26, Brookdale Avenue is open to traffic in both directions and the project has been completed by Louis Bray Construction on time and on budget.

In fact, the project was completed a few weeks early. Originally, Brookdale Ave. was supposed to open after Canada Day, but Louis Bray, the City and the Federal Bridge Corporation (FBC) were able to move it forward to coincide with Canada’s 150th birthday.

“The Federal Bridge Corporation is pleased to mark the opening of Brookdale Avenue, an important milestone as we near completion of the $74.8-million North Channel Bridge project,” said Natalie Kinloch, Chief Financial and Operating Officer at Federal Bridge Corporation. “The FBCL engineering team led these works, in close collaboration with the City of Cornwall and Louis W. Bray Construction Ltd., to rehabilitate this main artery following the demolition of the high-level bridge.”

Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy praised the project and explained that much needed work was accomplished.

“The City of Cornwall took advantage of this work by making significant investments in the underground infrastructure on Brookdale Avenue,”said Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy.“We are very appreciative of the public’s patience and cooperation while this multi-year rehabilitation project was completed.”

He also said that many citizens of Cornwall had been anxiously awaiting the day the major municipal artery re-opened.

“The timeline according to my inbox could have been quicker,” he said. “For the past two months, every morning, my inbox has been full.”

The City of Cornwall and the Federal Bridge Corporation jointly re-opened Brookdale Avenue to traffic on Monday, June 26.

Water Quality Tracked Through Fish Presence Handout from South Nation Conservation

SOUTH NATION, Ontario - One of South Nation Conservation’s (SNC) major roles is to keep track of locations and populations of the various species while tracking water quality. It

does so annually through the Ontario Stream Assessment Protocol (OSAP).

The project relies on cooperation from property owners who are pleased to learn about the amount and variety of fish caught in their local stream. Participating owners receive a summary

report of OSAP findings; in addition, a summary will be posted on SNC’s website, www.nation. on.ca. This season (June-September), OSAP sampling will take place in Nation Municipality, Township of Alfred Plantagenet, and City of Clarence Rockland. It takes SNC staff two to

Manager, Infrastructure & Municipal Works. “We continue to take steps towards making Cornwall more accessible for all forms of transportation.

This project is yet another example of that.”

There are still some finishing touches to be made along Brookdale Ave., such as landscaping and tree planting, but the route will remain open.

three days per site to collect the full suite of data: fish, bugs, site morphology and conditions.

Water temperature data loggers will be installed at each location. Additional sampling at each site will be conducted in the fall focusing on benthic aquatic invertebrates.

OPINION

Giving them every opportunity to shine Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

On Friday, I had the chance to see a select group of local young entrepreneurs show off their creativity, their drive and their ambition to the public and I was impressed.

There were ideas such as locally grown lamb, a videographer with drone technology, all organic beauty products and a young man with a summer business selling Freezies from his electric scooter.

All of these ideas have merit and potential to be successful. As someone who regularly likes a shoulder of lamb for dinner, I see a market for a locally raised product.

These students were all awarded a spot in Cornwall’s Summer Company program.

The Summer Company program is funded by the federal government and administered by Cornwall’s Business Enterprise Centre.

Each participant is receiving $3, 000 in startup funding and will also receive mentoring from local business leaders.

This program really shows the potential that the youth of Cornwall have to create innovation

and growth.

That same day, I also went down to Pommier Jewellers to snap some photos of high school students who were being recognized for their academic achievement over the past year.

At the event, Andre Pommier said that he hoped those who were going off to university would all be coming back to Cornwall eventually.

I hope that Andre is right, because not only do we need to recognize these students, but we also really do need them in our community, but what are we doing to keep them here, and if they leave, what are we doing to bring them back?

Right now we have the Cornwall Innovation Centre, which is designed to build ambitious entrepreneurial start-ups here in Cornwall. It is in partnership with Carleton University’s Sprott School of Business and is touted as an important step to get university level education opportunities in Cornwall.

The promise this centre offers our city is astounding and should be actively cultivated by the City of Cornwall.

The City should be planning and investing in

the long term future. Attracting entrepreneurs and making the city attractive to youth will bring with it prosperity.

An important discussion was started this week around the condo issue about whether Cornwall will be a City for young innovators or the retired.

I believe that the City should be planning for its future and investing in innovation and this means creating a conducive environment for young innovators. In pursuit of that, the City

should be looking at future industries and allowing young people to acquire the tools necessary to succeed in those industries right here in town.

Right now, every single entrepreneur needs to know how to build their own website, and being able to design apps and new technical hardware is key to modern innovation.

Clearly we have bright young minds here in Cornwall and we should be giving them every opportunity to shine.

Have you ever done a periplus?

People have been doing peripluses ever since travel became possible. The ancient Greeks, Romans and Phoenicians did them. So did Cook, Cartier, Magellan and Vasco de Gama. Any real traveller would be in the habit of making a periplus during each journey. These days, no tourist would bother to do a periplus but, until the GPS, the CAA provided one-dimensional peripluses – Triptiks - for them.

Lately I’ve learned that I’ve made many a periplus. Unknowingly, I’ve also expanded on the

I’ve expanded the definition of periplus to go beyond recording just the coastline’s features.

Whenever we find a wilderness island of interest, we do a complete circumnavigation of it to assess its significant features and best landing places. That’s an island periplus.

By the way, this is how to determine the approximate circumference of an island, or the length of a shoreline: take a digital photo at starting and another at finishing; use the camera’s times recorded to calculate elapsed time; estimate your paddling speed. Bob’s your uncle! You can thus calculate the distance travelled.

Then, we go ashore to discover its points of interest (blueberry patches, animal dens, bird

nests, sources of kindling wood, wasp nests, patches of poison ivy…), best tent sites (welldrained, flat, level…) and belvederes (view of sunsets, sunrises or mountains). Those are the key elements of a land periplus.

The combination of brief notes and digital snapshots taken are invaluable when transferring everything to paper or onto my laptop when the trip is over.

A carefully made periplus is a lasting storehouse of memories that can be accessed during next winter’s time of reminiscence or the next trip’s planning session. A detailed periplus is a far better trip souvenir than a tacky made-in-China mug or a faded memory.

science and art of periplus creation.

What’s a ‘periplus’? It’s not a marsupial, a dinner entrée, an app, nor a primitive shelter.

According to Mr. Wiki, “A periplus is a manuscript document that lists the ports and coastal landmarks, in order and with approximate intervening distances, that the captain of a vessel could expect to find along a shore.”

Let me describe my periplus making.

Whenever we canoe down a river I take note of landmarks, potential campsites and any hazards.

My camera takes notes too, in the form of digital images. The time each photo is taken is recorded by its brain, readily accessible when I sit down to make detailed entries in my trip journal.

Strange as it might seem, the 1958 Fidel Castro-led Cuban revolution contained a Cornwall connection, one that gave a city resident an unwanted front-row seat to the uprising.

On the night of June 26, 1958 a squad of armed Cuban rebels stormed a hotel where dozens of Canadian and American mining company employees working for the Stebbins Engineering and Manufacturing Co. were staying.

The men, many of them engineers, were rounded up and marched to rebel leader Fidel Castro’s headquarters deep in the Oriente Mountains.

Among the 50 prisoners was a Cornwall resident, 52-year-old Edward Cannon.

It was the start of six anxious days and nights for his wife back home in Cornwall.

On the seventh day the rebels announced that some of their prisoners would be released as a show of good faith. Edward Cannon’s name was on the list, along with another Canadian engineer from Geraldton, Ont. The next day the Cornwall resident appeared at a rebel news conference with Fidel Castro’s brother Raul.

The Cornwall man spoke of the humane

treatment he and the other captors in his group received from the bearded rebels. “We had no fear of being harmed,” he said. He noted that many of the rebels were professional people, including doctors, teachers and lawyers.

He pointed out that while dictator Fulgencio Battista was backed by a well-equipped military in the fight against the rebels, “Don’t put all your money on Battista.”

On Jan. 1, 1959 Cuba fell under the control of the rebels and Battista was gone.

He said Fidel Castro told the men they were kidnapped to protest the fact that the government was using made-in-the-U.S. bombs to attack the rebels.

After the news conference, an obvious rebel propaganda tool, the released captors were flown to the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay. Days later Cannon was back in Cornwall but less eager to sing the praises of Fidel Castro and the band of rebels.

Instead, it appeared that mum was the word.

He did allow that it was “the worst experience of my life.”

He noted that at least 40 North Americans, mostly from the U.S., were still held by the rebels.

“I don’t want to say anything that may cause trouble (for them),” he said. “I can’t tell the whole story, just yet.”

The “whole story” never was told.

TRIVIA It took place on Sunday, April 23, 1961 and it was a first for the Palace and Capitol movie theatres in Cornwall.

TRIVIA ANSWER The big event celebrated in Cornwall, and across the country, on June 2, 1953 was the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth. The day featured four different parades, all ending at the Athletic Grounds where an estimated 6,000 people gathered. The day-long celebration concluded at night with a huge fireworks display.

HERE AND THERE Regardless of inadvertently leaving out Alberta, an honest mistake for which he apologized, the PM’s Canada Day speech on the Hill was a keeper. ... A great revenue generator for police departments is the traffic ticket blitz. There is little, if any, evidence a blitz actually makes highways safer for the rest of the year. ... The year is half over in Chicago and the six-month murder count has hit 323, one more than last year. At this rate the Windy City will top 700 murders for the second straight year. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Donald Trump says he has a plan to reduce the murder rate, not only in Chicago but right across America - just after he gets that wall built. ...

A link to the Battle of Vimy Ridge - April 9, 1917 - is growing at Lost Villages across from Lakeview Heights. Two saplings, descendants from English Oak grown from acorns gathered up at the famous

First World War battle site by a Canadian soldier who survived the horrific conflict, were recently planted at Lost Villages. Canadian soldiers won the battle but suffered 10,500 casualties. Four Mille Roches soldiers died in the battle. The Lost Villages project was spearheaded by Jim Brownell, Tim Gault and Col. William Shearing. ... Denis Sabourin passes along a note that Don Blaney, a gifted Glengarry athlete - soccer, hockey, lacrosse, football, track - from the 1960s, passed away in June. In 1968 he was named Glengarry’s outstanding athlete and top football player. He played hockey for the University of Guelph Gryphons. He was inducted into the Glengarry Sports Hall of Fame in 2008.

THIS WEEK CIRCA 1958 Steel work for the new Loblaws grocery store at Second and Augustus streets was being erected. ... Premier Leslie Frost officially opened the new St. Lawrence Valley Union Cemetery. ... Memorial Park wading pool, one of 10 built in the city by the Kinsmen Club, was officially opened. ... Frances Glass, Jessie Boyd and Myrna Lalonde, members of the Cornwall Rangers, left by train for a one-month tour of Western Canada. ... Flooding for Lake St. Lawrence was completed. ... Roger’s Electronics, 352 Montreal Rd., announced in a full-page advertisement that it was the first store in Cornwall to sell colour television sets.

for their animals.

The programs we offer and encourage include access to spaying/neutering to help prevent future litters, microchipping to help reunite lost pets with their families, fostering and adopting to help reduce the number of homeless animals in communities and humane education to help share the message of responsible pet ownership and animal care.

Due to the severity of the current situation in Cornwall, Ontario SPCA Rescue & Relief Services is preparing to take the following steps during the week of July 3, 2017 to protect animals and support local residents: All adoptable cats currently being sheltered at our local site will be transferred to other animal care centres throughout the province for adoption, making space for urgent sheltering needs.

Ontario SPCA Rescue & Relief Services vehicles will arrive in Cornwall to accept community cats and kittens from residents currently fostering these animals and transfer the animals for

adoption into forever homes. Treatment needed by these cats and kittens, including spaying/neutering procedures, will be provided by the Ontario SPCA in advance of the pets being adopted, ensuring that future litters are prevented.

The Ontario SPCA is a charity and relies on the generosity of donors to provide Rescue & Relief Services. Your support is appreciated and helps to save animals lives.

The Ontario SPCA thanks our staff and our volunteers for continuing to work diligently to care for animals and support community animal welfare efforts while the City develops solutions.

This situation is urgent and, on behalf of the animals in need, we will continue to support community-based efforts and we will continue be available to the City of Cornwall to assist them in getting solution-based resources in place.

Strategy. Such a strategy will help reduce the pet overpopulation and create a healthier environment for pets in the community.

An effective Municipal Community Animal Management Strategy aims to promote and facilitate a municipal environment of responsible and considerate ownership of dogs and cats. The municipal strategy addresses the well-being of the community, including animals, as well as people; the framework of thorough municipal animal by-laws; realistic costs of animal services; oversight; and community outreach. The Ontario SPCA is available to assist the City of Cornwall with the development of a Municipal Community Animal Management Strategy.

On an urgent basis, the Ontario SPCA encourages the City of Cornwall to support its residents and lead the emergency response efforts by providing appropriate sheltering space and financial resources to resolve the current issues. The Ontario SPCA works hard each and every day to support communities in protecting and caring

OPINION

OSPCA offers support for community cats Dear Editor, The pet overpopulation in Cornwall, which historically has been challenging, has spiked recently with an abundance of homeless cats.

The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society continues to provide resources to the City of Cornwall to assist city officials in meeting the urgent needs of community animals. We will continue to provide resources including food, litter and transition cages to support community efforts.

Residents of the City of Cornwall are to be commended for their concern and compassion for these community cats. Currently, residents of the area are caring for over 170 community cats in their private homes. While this response to the crisis situation is likely appreciated by municipal officials, it does not address the urgent requirement for a community animal management strategy to provide a sustainable, long-term solution to the plight of homeless animals.

We encourage the City of Cornwall to establish a Municipal Community Animal Management

Cornwall - Castro connection Claude McIntosh ~ Mac’s Musings

letter to the editor

When the Community has its say, we all win Dear Councillors, Mayor, and Media, “When people of all ages, abilities, and socio-economic backgrounds can not only access and enjoy a place, but also play a key role in its identity, creation, and maintenance, that is when we see genuine Placemaking in action.” - the Project for Public Spaces, 2009 My connection to the Marina and waterfront stems from my proximity to Legion Park (a baseball park my father envisioned), and the fact that I use the path for both cycling and walking my dog, on a regular basis. It’s one of the reasons I chose to rent my house in this area. The green space and waterfront Cornwall has is its biggest asset and any decisions about its future should be made in consultation with the community. There is overwhelming data that supports that green space is essential to a community’s wellbeing and this should be taken into account when considering the development of condos (private space) that will take away the enjoyment of these beautiful outdoor spaces and the waterfront, from the community.

Gentrification is a challenge cities face, as you already know. With the lack of space, many urban-dwellers are choosing to take over parts of the city that have never seen this type of development, which is why community consultation in these cases is needed. The problem here is that there is plenty of space

available along the waterfront that could be developed, but would cost too much to take on. Big cities who face green space challenges would be appalled if they found out we were considering developing over our community green space. Just look at New York City, where they lack green space and have repurposed the High Line, an elevated section of a disused New York Central Railroad, to make it accessible to tourists and residents.

A 2008 study showed that being around green spaces can reduce blood pressure and stress levels, and possibly help people heal faster after surgery.

The Center for Active Design just published a report called the Assembly Civic Engagement Survey (ACES), with a sample of 5,188 respondents from 26 communities across the United States, in 2016. People living near popular parks report greater community connection and greater satisfaction with local government. Here is the data: 29% found greater satisfaction with their parks and recreation department 14% had greater satisfaction with police 13% had greater satisfaction with their mayor With the ACES study they also found: that a moderate clean-up of a vacant lot can significantly enhance measures of civic trust — including a 13% increase in the belief that

people care about their community. Using studies like this, we can learn what to prioritize, such as the cleanup and re-development of the land on the old Domtar site.

Because you should always look at a problem with a potential solution in mind, here are some ideas I’ve heard on how to best move forward in tackling the issue of condos around the Marina: If Cornwall Baseball needs a change room/better washroom facilities (such as the one the developers would build for them in exchange for the waterfront view), then we as a community crowdfund to help support them. Not only could we create a facility for those purposes but even turn it into a bike repair station (how much would the bike tourists love that), and a pop-up cafe (where local restaurants can share that space on a rotating basis).

We as a community must start to take Urban Design seriously, and in order to do that, we need someone who understands the issues around health and active design and who can help lead these types of projects from within our local government.

Figure out what kind of branding we need to attract the right demographic to this area. Building condos around the Marina will attract middle to upper-class, retired, seasonal visitors. Are we focusing on branding

our community as such to attract youth/ innovative entrepreneurs, or the retired?

Either way, I believe there is a lot of work to brand Cornwall in a clear and concise way.

Affordable housing should be a highpriority for the city, as there are many people struggling to make ends meet and reducing stress on families who are struggling, makes our community more resilient.

What was disappointing about the whole condo debacle was the fact that the developers didn’t go through the community first, they went straight to whom they considered the chief decision-makers. The difference between this consultation and the library green roof consultation, is the fact that the green roof project leads went straight to the public, engaging with them, leaving their ideas open for discussion. This is why innovation is so reliant on collaboration and why this whole condo project left us as a community, scrambling and in an uproar.

Collaboration is key to a diverse and empathetic viewpoint and the developers should always consider the community their chief decision-makers.

“Batman” Visits Cornwall CORNWALL, Ontario - The River Institute and the OPG St. Lawrence Power Development Visitor Centre are going batty with creatures who like the dark.

On Wednesday, July 5 between the hours of 6 pm and 9 pm the St. Lawrence Power Development Visitor Centre in Cornwall will host a Nocturnal Wildlife Workshop. Geared towards the entire family, this workshop will feature a special presentation with Cornwall’s very own Batman, Dr. Brian Hickey. As a result of declining bat populations in North America, Dr. Brian and his summer crew conduct bat population research that recruits homeowners to become involved in citizen science by erecting bat houses on their properties in eastern Ontario.

Dr. Hickey has studied bats throughout North America, Mexico and Africa. He says, “Bats are amazing animals and despite their false reputation for flying into hair and carrying disease, with more than 1000 species worldwide, they are one of the most diverse and

ecologically important groups of mammals on the planet.” He adds, “This time of year we may see a bit of an increase in numbers because the young are just learning to fly.”

It isn’t only bats that can be found on the night shift when travelling with Dr. Brian, he has a great interest in all sorts of creatures, in particular those he encounters in the dark. A research scientist, ecologist, and educator at the River Institute, he combines fascinating photos with an engaging speaking style that makes for a presentation that the whole family will enjoy.

The public is invited to come out and explore the important role that nocturnal animals play in natural ecosystems. Workshop participants will also learn about the interesting characteristics and behaviours of these critters. Visitors just might get a chance to see the real thing.

These Environmental Education Workshops at the OPG Visitor Centre are free of charge throughout the summer. The OPG St. Lawrence Power Development Visitor Centre is located at 2500 B Second Street West, Cornwall, Ontario.

For more details and information about OPG Family Workshops and other River Institute programs please visit www.riverinstitute.ca or follow the River Institute on Facebook and Twitter.

MCA launches LGBTQ support meeting Alycia Douglass alycia.douglass@tc.tc

AKWESASNE, Ontario – The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne (MCA) recently launched a new Safe Zone meeting to support the local LGBTQ community.

The Safe Zone program began in 2013 as a response to residents’ request for a local advocacy group. Wholistic Health and Wellness Program’s Kyle Thompson says that with Pride Month in full swing, he felt this was as good a time as ever to kick off the support meetings.

Thompson says that the first meeting was a success, with 15 people coming out.

“The goal is to bring people out and offer a safe space for discussion,” said Thompson. “It’s open to all ages, and includes members of the

LGBTQ community, as well as allies.”

The support group strives to put an end to homophobia and heterosexism within the MCA, provided support to those who need it.

“Akwesasne has a fairly large LGBTQ community, and for a while, there was nothing available for them,” said Thompson. “The idea of the Safe Zone was to provide services and resources for support and awareness.”

The program hopes to create a better understanding of LGBTQ issues through education and advocacy, thus creating a safe and accepting community.

“I really feel that LGBT awareness has gained so much traction lately,” said Thompson. “There’s a lot of change that’s been happening, and our attendance has been steadily improving.”

The MCA recently launched a support meeting through their Safe Zone program, which helps support the local LGBTQ community.

The Children’s Treatment Centre received support from the McDonald’s on Second Street East in Cornwall during their McHappy Day’s Fundraiser. A presentation was made to the Children’s Treatment Centre on Monday, July 3. Pictured from left-to-right are: Joe Flood, General Director of McDonalds’ Second Street location, Wendy Williams, Marie-Josee Roy, Ashleigh Cummings, Victoria Smith, Ray Forget, Denis Brunet, Mary Lalonde, Vicki Longtin, Kelsey Tobin and Christine Corlynck.

Residents demand help with stray cats Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

OSPCA. “Feral cats are the minority of the problem,” Rogers said. “The OSPCA suspects that roaming cats are the bulk of the issue.”

He said that from his perspective roaming cats were not being treated with the proper amount of care or responsibility.

Rogers explained that back in 2008 there was an OSPCA initiative to collect stray cats and a by-law was put into place, but that it expired a year later.

Now he says, there may not be the possibility Rogers said he met with the OSPCA back in to revive the by-law as it was.

“They (the OSPCA) recognize the problem is May to formulate a new plan and that the legitimate as we do,” he said. “But they are at OSPCA would soon advise the City’ on what that program might look like. capacity and cannot house more cats.”

CORNWALL, Ontario - Cornwall City Council received a petition on Monday night from residents of Bergin Ave. The petition demands that Council address the amount of stray cats in the area.

“The feeding and and breeding has brought an overwhelming population of these feral cats to our neighbourhood,” the petition reads. “The amount of cat feces and urine in our yards poses a health risk to our children, pets and the enjoyment of our property. We are seeking the trapping and removal of these feral cats by proper authorities.”

So far the petition has 25 signatures.

Dennis Poisson, an organizer of the petition says that he has done as much as he can to deal with this issue.

“There is a person feeding the cats in the neighbourhood,” he said. “We caught five kittens last week and three more this morning.”

He explained that the kittens are sometimes trapped under lawn chairs or under decks and that he tries to find those who are willing to adopt them.

Poisson said that he has asked the OSPCA to collect the cats, but they refuse to do so.

In a conversation with Seaway News Chris Rogers of By-Law Enforcement said that the City was discussing strategies and solutions with the

SEAWAY NEWS PET CORNER PUMMEL

STRESS LEAVE

I urgently needed a few days off work, but, I knew the Boss would not allow me to take leave. I thought that maybe if I acted ‘Crazy’ then he would tell me to take a few days off.

So I hung upside-down on the ceiling and made funny noises.

My co-worker asked me what I was doing. I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb so that the Boss might think I was ‘Crazy’ and give me a few days off. A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked, ‘What in the name of good GOD are you doing?’

I told him I was a light bulb.

He said, ‘You are clearly stressed out. Go home and recuperate for a couple of days.’

I jumped down and walked out of the office.

When my co-worker followed me, the Boss asked her, “And where do you think you’re going?!’

She said, ‘I’m going home too. I can’t work in the dark.

“The mandate of the Cornwall Horticultural Society is to promote horticulture in our community, and while we volunteer at various venues and events in the City, I feel this project will provide the largest amount of enjoyment of anything we have done to date,” said Wendy Grant, the Past President of the Cornwall & District Horticultural Society. “Already while planting and weeding, we have received numerous heart-warming “thumbs up” and “thank you’s” from passing motorists and pedestrians.

As these red-and-white, Canada-150-themed plantings grow during the summer ahead, we hope they continue to bring pleasure and instil a sense of pride in our community.”

Grant also thanked the City of Cornwall, who has helped maintain the Society’s annual Bark & Compost day fundraiser and Sociatbank for their financial support and volunteers at the event.

She also thanked Friends of the Garden members who volunteered their time every year at the event and the Federal Bridge Corporation who openly supported the idea.
