High Commissioner visits Cornwall Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - The City of Cornwall, the Cornwall Chamber of Commerce and the Nav Centre all welcomed the High Commissioner from South Africa to the city on Thursday, Aug. 3.

High Commissioner Sibongiseni DlaminiMntambo was invited to a reception organized by the Chamber of Commerce for the guests of their trip to South Africa and Dubai next month.

The High Commissioner first stopped by City Hall to sign the city’s Golden Book. She was

greeted by Councillor Carilyne Hébert, who is serving as Cornwall’s Acting Mayor for the month of August.

High Commissioner Dlamini-Mntambo remarked to Acting Mayor Hébert that Cornwall was a beautiful city and very centrally located.

The reception, held at the Nav Centre, gave High Commissioner Dlamini-Mntambo the opportunity to speak to some of the citizens of Cornwall and to see what the Nav Centre had to offer.

After arriving, the High Commissioner was given a tour of the Nav Centre’s facilities, with particular emphasis on the centre’s air traffic

control simulator.

High Commissioner Dlamini-Mntambo asked Nav Centre staff several questions in regards to the training and certifications that the Nav Centre could offer international students training to become air traffic controllers.

The Chamber’s trip to South Africa is running from Sept. 11 to Sept. 25 and there are currently 39 people signed up.

The Chamber of Commerce organizes these trips through a program provided to all chambers in Ontario from the Ontario Chamber of Commerce.

Acting Mayor Carilyne Hébert watches on as High Commissioner DlaminiMntambo signs Cornwall’s Golden Book.

Glengarry Pioneer Museum’s ‘What’s It Worth?’ Day Handout from Glengarry Pioneer Museum DUNVEGAN, Ontario - Everyone has something at home that makes them wonder “What’s It Worth?” It could be that washstand that was already in the house when you moved in. Or that vintage costume jewelry your grandmother left you. How about granddad’s medals from The Great War? Or that painting that’s been on the wall forever?

The answers are waiting for you at the Glengarry Pioneer Museum’s Appraisal and Collector’s Day on Saturday August 19th from 11 AM to 4 PM in Dunvegan, Ontario.

Appraisers with expertise in areas such as books, Canadiana, jewelry, art, textiles, pop culture and furniture will assess the approximate

value of up to three items that visitors bring to the Glengarry Pioneer Museum at a charge of $5.00 per item. Admission to the museum on What’s It Worth? Day is just $5/adult, children under 12 are free. All appraisals from local experts are verbal and on a first-come-first-served basis.

During the day, there will also be a silent auction of antiques and collectibles. Auction items include an early 20th century spittoon, oil lamps, glass insulators, and silver, to name a few. After making a bid on the silent auction treasures, visitors can wander through displays from private collectors showcasing their prized collections.

Vintage chocolate boxes, kitchen ware, chain saws, farm machinery, Centennial and Expo ’67 memorabilia, and more. If that’s not enough, visitors will enjoy a multitude of antique cars and

Kinsmen carry through One Bag Challenge Nick Seebruch

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - Cornwall’s Kinsmen are the latest to take up the One Bag Challenge for the Agapé Centre.

The Agapé Centre is challenging the public to donate one bag to help them help the community throughout the summer.

Summer is the most challenging time for the Agapé Centre as they receive the least amount of donations, but still have to meet the same demand for their services.

The idea is to donate one bag of groceries to the Agapé Centre between now and the end of August. Participants are encouraged to challenge five of their friends to also take up the One Bag Challenge.

The Cornwall Kinsmen arrived with not just one bag, but an entire shopping cart of donations to the Agapé Centre.

The Cornwall Kinsmen then challenged the other services clubs in town to take up the challenge themselves

Pictured are Ray Eady, Neil Benjamin, Agapé Centre Executive Director Diane Plourde, John Racine, Tim Sage, Monte Yancy, Scott Beck, Claude Legault, Wes Libbey and John Towndrow.

Money will also be raised for Hospice through the silent auction. Event attendees will have the opportunity to bid on items such as a Beau’s Brewery Gift Basket, Upper Canada Playhouse Tickets, green-time at Summerheights Golf Links and the Cornwall Golf and Country Club.

“Waterfest is staged at the historic old Cornwall Canal,” the Cornwall Waterfest website states. “In conjunction to the popular dragon boat races there is a unique market featuring local and area artisans displaying their wares.

The Waterfest stage features a variety of local entertainment as well!”

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - As of now, there are eight teams that will be taking to the water at Lock 19 for Cornwall Waterfest on Saturday, August 12.

The majestic dragonboats will be racing through the water in support of Carefor Hospice Cornwall.

The eight entered teams have been busy preparing for the race and raising money for a worthy cause. More teams are still welcome to is just a theory at this point.”

Ridal says the overall effect of heavy rainfall join into the competition.

The event kicks off at 10:30 a.m. and goes is an increase in the river’s productivity. until 3 p.m. There will be a Tug of Oars competiTranslation: there is a silver lining to rainfall of biblical proportions.

“Usually the bottom line is that water is good for fish,” said Ridal. “We’re seeing much wider diversity of species than in previous years.”

Due to flooding of terrestrial areas, more aquatic habitat is being created, infused with additional nutrients. Ridal says that flooding not only provides more nutrients at the base of the food chain, but allows further access to more FINANCING habitat, and higher reproductive success for AVAILABLE most species.

“Species like waterfowl, birds of prey, and Exclusive at ray JanS other species that feed on fish should also benefit from this increased food supply,” said Ridal.

“The higher water levels and nutrient runoff have created very good growing conditions for submerged aquatic vegetation in some areas, “Where PrOFeSSIONAL INStALLAtION MAkeS the DIFFereNce” which in turn has created more habitat and food Hours: Mon.-Fri: 8am-5pm; Sat. 9-noon | 840 Campbell Street 613.932.1571 | www.rayjans.com for aquatic species.”

Wildlife rejoices at rainy season Alycia Douglass alycia.douglass@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - While the summer’s heavy rainfall may have proven helpful to the area’s fish population, it may have put quite a damper on the conditions of other wildlife.

“Flooding would be expected to have strong impacts on species that are not able to adjust quickly to higher water levels,” said Jeff Ridal, Executive Director and Chief Research Scientist at the River Institute. “Wildlife that depend on borders of the river for reproduction (e.g. waterfowl, turtles) may experience some difficulties due to loss of terrestrial habitat, or nests being positioned in unfavourable locations when water levels recede.”

Ridal says that another trend this year is the dwindling numbers of juvenile eels migrating upstream past the Moses-Saunders Dam. “One theory to account for these low numbers is that the water levels and increased flow of the river is somehow acting against their upstream migration pattern,” said Ridal. “But this

Salamander man coming to OPG Handout from the St. Lawrence River Institute CORNWALL, Ontario - Do you know the difference between a reptile and amphibian? The River Institute and the OPG St. Lawrence Power Development Visitor Centre are collaborating on answering just that question by co-hosting “Reptiles and Amphibians” – a free Science and Nature Workshop for the entire family at the Visitor Centre on Saturday, August 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Cornwall.

This fun and informative workshop encourages members of the community to come out of their shell and explore critters that slither, slide,

crawl and hop. Workshop Coordinator Josh Filion says, “Matt Ellerbeck is an award winning naturalist with a passion for salamanders and we are fortunate to have him join us.” “Known as the Salamander Man and founder of Save our Salamanders, Matt will bring to the Visitor Centre an amazing amount of interesting information as well as some of his special salamanders.”

Matt Ellerbeck says, “Salamanders are actually in a terrible crisis. Many species are disappearing from the wild and unfortunately due to their secretive nature they are not often seen by people.” He adds, “This means that their decline is largely going unnoticed and they are

further at risk because very few conservation groups are dedicated to their recovery.”

It is these concerns that led Ellerbeck to start his Save the Salamander campaign several years ago and that fosters his dedication to educating people of all ages on these shy and gentle amphibians .

Other activities of the day include hands-on science stations that feature information on turtles, snakes, frogs and other marsh dwelling friends. For more information on the day’s activities, visit the St. Lawrence Power Development Visitor Centre Facebook Page or go to www. riverinstitute.ca.

Darby Mills flies into Musicfest Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - Longtime lead vocalist for the Headpins Darby Mills is coming to Cornwall Musicfest. She will be featuring new work from her “Flying Solo” project as well as classics from her time with the Headpins.

One of Mills’ recent projects has been a rerelease of the 1991 album “Never Look Back”.

“I think that the lyrics of that album are so relevant today,” she said.

Mills explained that for that past 26 years, she has had fears about the environment and

about sustainability and she is seeing those fears manifest more and more every day in the world. This particularly shows in her song Monkey from the Never Look Back album.

“There aren’t endless resources of everything,” said Mills.

Mills said she and her band are looking forward to taking the stage at Musicfest at the Nav Centre on Saturday, August 19.

“We’re a classic, solid and hardworking band,” she said. “Everyone’s a veteran and we want to show everyone that at our age we can still rock.”

OPINION

The City of Cornwall has a revenue problem Nick Seebruch

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

In May, Cornwall City Council passed a meager tax increase of 1.74 percent, an increase that is smaller than the increase they passed in 2016 despite a much rougher financial year.

Some applauded Council’s work and feel that taxes should be as low as possible. I’m of the view that taxes should be spent as wisely as possible and that the tax rate, instead of being as low as possible, should be raised responsibly.

If key pieces of municipal infrastructure are aging faster than they are being replaced, then taxes are either not being spent responsibly or they are not being raised adequately.

Last week saw two breaks in Cornwall’s water system that closed two major traffic arteries while they were repaired.

The City’s General Manager of Municipal Works, John St. Marseille, said that of Cornwall’s 280km watermain system, 70km needs to be replaced.

It will cost the city $40 million to replace that 70km of pipe and this year, the city will be spending $4 million. However, the City of Cornwall is only contributing $1-2 million out of their own pocket, the rest is coming from senior levels of

government.

St. Marseille explained to me that if this current rate of spending holds steady, that the City will not be able to clear the backlog of watermains that need to be replaced. The pipes will age faster than the city can replace them.

This is a symptom of a lack of either a lack of revenue or on spending revenue in the wrong places.

The lower tax rate that Council passed will not save citizens money in the long run. These watermain breaks have had to be repaired through money from an emergency fund, which will need to be replenished. If watermain breaks become a more common occurrence, it will be more expensive.

This issue also raises the questions as to what else would be affected by this lack of revenue.

What other municipal service or infrastructure is in need of funds for the simple sake of maintenance?

The Mayor echoed this very sentiment in the meeting where the 1.74 percent residential tax rate was passed. There was a last minute attempt to raise that rate to 2.78 percent.

“I’m going to support 2.78 and why? Because that doesn’t even address the problems we have this year,” said Mayor O’Shaughnessy. “We’ve

accomplished nothing to tackle this $3 million deficit. There’s no one who dislikes raising taxes more than me. Cutting for the sake of cutting makes it harder for future years. I can just see this compounding and it is just getting worse and worse. This is just an illusion to the people that we are saving them money, but we’re not.”

How much will this low tax rate cost the citizens of Cornwall next year? Or the year after?

I know that there are members of Council dedicated to keeping taxes as low as possible, and raising taxes should not be something that is easy to do. The City has a responsibility to fund services and maintain infrastructure and if the City is not spending enough to replace our aging infrastructure, then it is not fulfilling that promise.

Sultan Jessa Five Cornwall residents are anxiously getting ready to travel to Tanzania to scale Africa’s highest mountain.

The snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro in northern Tanzania is 19,340 feet high.

The 1-member team has been preparing for this hectic and sometimes difficult trek for months.

Getting ready to climb Kilimanjaro are Cathy Chumley, Kathy Maguire, Sandra Tosatto, Ted Biro and his daughter Suzzanne, all city residents. The group also includes a resident of Williamstown, who prefers to remain anonymous, a resident of St. Lazare in Quebec, and three residents from New York in the United States.

Initially, 11 had planned the trip. But, one had to cancel at the last minute due to injury.

“We come from different places but all of us have the same joy and passion for hiking and climbing,” said Chumley, the main organizer of the once-in-a-lifetime adventure. “It is the mountains, the nature, exploring and making new friends that bring us all together.”

This trek, emphasized Chumley, will be a bit more difficult than the Mount Everest base camp several team members did a couple of years back.

Chumley said they will plant the City of Cornwall flag and Canada 150 flag on the top of Kilimanjaro to celebrate the special anniversary of Canadian confederation. The adventurous group will set off from Montreal September 6. They will travel to the Kilimanjaro International Airport and then make their way to the slopes of the mountain for indepth briefing with their guides and porters. All members of the outdoor club have hiked in various areas of British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and the Eastern United States, the Everest base camp in Nepal and the Inca trails in Peru. Chumley, Maguire and Tossato have some experience at high altitude. The Everest base camp was at an altitude of 17,000 feet.

“All of us are doing our own thing for training,” Chumley said. “We are hiking, walking daily and some are doing light weight training.”

“Having experienced hiking at a very high altitude, I know is extremely difficult mentally to push

through the pain with thin air.”

The team will trek with G Adventures which is a company specializing in adventure travel.

“To me trekking means more than accomplishment,” added Chumley. “It is always great when you finish.”

The team will climb five to eight hours a day.

Scaling and reaching the summit will take about a week. Mountain temperatures will range from hot to bitter cold. Also oxygen levels will decrease as they climb higher and at times team members will have to go without showers for days. The team’s biggest challenge will be the unknown. All team members are fit and healthy and are preparing for the scale. Most team members plan to carry their own day packs with water, rain jackets and snacks.

Guides and porters will carry tents, food and other supplies and monitor their heart rates and oxygen levels. Five members of the team will spend more time in Tanzania visiting the country’s world-famous Serengeti National Park local villages and other tourist attractions before returning home.

OPINION SD and G Highlanders student militia inspection. Top unit cadets were Pte. Brian Landry, Pte. Roger Christie and Pte. Anthony Smith.

Pte. Richard Quenneville was named most improved cadet while Pte. J. L. Deserres received the top marksman award.

• Cornwall Royals signed coach Jim Larin and defenceman Gerry Lemire to new contracts. Lemire was named captain, succeeding Ray Barnes. The team announced that 18-home game season ticket packages would go on sale for $20. General admission prices were set at $1 for adults and 25 cents for children.

• Two players from Cornwall, both with Drummondville, were leading the Quebec Lacrosse League scoring parade. Ron Ward had 106 points on 61 goals and 45 assists. Terry Riley had 89 points on 57 goals and 32 assists.

MUNCHIES: Rich is when you don’t know exactly how much you have. • And when it comes to the rich, politicians feel safe talking about taxing them more because there are so few rich folks to vote against them. • Why is it that a finance minister who runs up huge deficits (aka losses) that are added to a crippling debt ends up working on Bay Street which rails against government deficits and out-of-control debt?

HERE AND THERE: Former vice-president Joe Biden might be one of the best presidents the Excited States of America NEVER had.

• Pete Rose admits to having an extra-marital affair with a teen-ager while he was playing for the Reds. The faint, flickering flame of hope that he might, just might, be named to the hall of fame some day has been extinguished.

• Talk about comebacks. Brian Mulroney is more popular today than he was in his last two years as prime minister.

• Meanwhile, keep an eye on his daughter, Caroline, who is expected to win a seat on the Ontario Legislature. She has star-power written all over her.

• Another Fox News heavyweight, Eric Bolling, has been taken off the air pending an investigation. A former Fox News female contributor has accused him of sexual harassment.

The network is working with a short bench. In the last year it has lost superstars Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly, Megan Kelly, Greta Van Susteren, Bob Beckel, Bolling, Andrea Tantaros and Gretchen Carlson. Tantaros has filed a lawsuit against Fox alleging sexual harassment. Carlson sued over sexual harassment and settled for $20 million.

• Well knock me over with a feather. During an appearance on a TV talk show last week Al Gore dropped what was called a “bombshell”.

The former veep told host Bill Maher that he believes he was robbed of the presidency by the Bush team (call it an AmBush) on the Florida recount in the 2000 election. Bombshell?

Sounds like old news.

THIS AND THAT: If there is such a thing as reincarnation, coming back as a TV evangelist preaching the “prosperity gospel” isn’t a bad gig - multi-million dollar mansion, fleet of luxury cars (His and Her Ferraris), seven-figure paycheque, expensive wardrobe, private jet, yacht, etc. Sure step up from the quintessential country preacher.

• Not sure what this means but in 1977 California was being devastated by a drought. A popular fire and brim stone preacher declared that the state was being punished by God for embracing gay rights, and it would only get worse if Harvey Milk won a seat on the San Francisco city council and became the first openly gay elected official in the U.S. Milk got elected and it rained for three straight days. End of drought.

Despite public opinion polls that show Ontario is ready to turf Kathleen Wynne and the Liberals, a friend who is a long-time, dyedin-the-wool Conservative, the kind of person who would vote for a manikin if it were decked out in blue, has an uneasy feeling that history will be repeated on June 7.

He’s not alone.

Cracks are starting to show in the comfortable lead - at least according to opinion polls that Patrick Brown and the Conservatives built in the last 24 months.

Wynne and the Libs are chipping away using the oldest game in politics - buying, or at least attempting to buy, votes ... and stealing from the NDP playbook (minimum wage hikes).

Back in June, Toronto Sun Queen’s Park columnist Lorrie Goldstein, a Wynne government tormentor, warned it would be foolish to bet against Kathleen Wynne and the Liberals.

The columnist noted that there are 1.1 million civil servants in Ontario who have done well with the Liberals in power. Add their family members, big labour and teachers’ union and you have a sizeable block of voters who don’t want the Conservatives back in power and back the party with the best chance of keeping them to of power.

Remember John Tory and his faith-based education fumble? And Tim Hudak who coughed up victory with his plan to cut 100,000 civil service jobs?

To steal one of Yogi Berra’s quips, this could be deja-vu all over again.

TRIVIA ANSWER: Built in 1883, Trinity Church Hall, which had become known as the Conservatory of Music building, on Augustus Street was destroyed by fire on May 22, 1965.

The city’s parks and recreation department had leased the building for its summer and winter arts programs. The building took on the

Conservatory name after music teacher Stuart Hall leased the building from the church. When the lease ran out, the city took over the building.

The Standard-Freeholder reported that a crowd of at least 2,000 gathered at the fire scene while a crew of 20 firefighters battled the blaze. Six city police officers were needed for crowd control.

TRIVIA: The two 32 pounder naval cannons at Memorial Park (cenotaph) were first on display at this city park where they had been placed in 1889.

THIS WEEK CIRCA 1965: A motion by Ald. Ralph Carrara calling for all out-of-town expenses by members of council to be checked by the city’s finance department and reported in the year-end financial statement was defeated 5-4.

• Red Cross senior swimming awards were presented to John Leroux, Terry Landon, Raymond Gatien, Marcel Dore, Suzanne Parent, Marilyn Edwards and Debbie Bookout.

• A city man was given a four-month jail sentence by Magistrate P.C. Bergeron for purse snatching.

• A 16-year-old cyclist was fined $2 for carrying a second person on his bicycle.

• City council voted not to purchased 12-acre St. Lawrence Park from Cornwall Street Railway Power and Light Co. for $50,000. Some members of council wanted to turn the park into a municipal camp site. The city’s decision opened the door for Cornwall Classical College to purchased the property for expansion.

• Kinsmen Park pool, the first of three new outdoor pools, was officially opened with 300 young swimmers showing up for the first day. A unique official opening was held with Mayor Elzear Emard and Ald. Larry Keen, parks and recreation committee chair, swimming the length of the pool.

The Games pipes on Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

MAXVILLE, Ontario - The 70th Glengarry Highland games opened to rain on Saturday, Aug. 5, 2017, but it did not dampen the strong Celtic spirit in the crowd.

No events were delayed and the rain soon dissipated.

During the opening ceremony, MC Reg Gamble took time to remember Connie Blaney, a skilled piper and a strong supporter and former president of the Glengarry Highland Games who passed away this past January.

They also greeted Bill Livingstone, the 2017 guest of honour at the Highland Games.

Livingstone is a renowned piper and lawyer based in Whitby Ontario. Livingstone is the only person to have led a Grade One band to the World Championship and to have won a Clasp for piobairachd at the Northern Meeting in Inverness, Scotland. Both are significant piping distinctions.

Also at the opening ceremonies were all living past presidents of the Glengarry Highland Games and Gamble took a moment to ensure that they were recognized and thanked them for their efforts as without them, the Games would not have become what it is today in its 70th year.

Sawyer MacDonell and Beauden Brown, both 4-years-old, after their 60 meter foot race which Sawyer won.

Refining the vision Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - Cornwall developer Bourgon Construction is honing and refining its plans for a community hub in the city’s downtown.

For several years, the First on Second site at the corner of Pitt and Second streets has been under development.

Bourgon was originally hired to develop the property for Place Dominion Place Inc. and early visions for the site included the possibility of condos.

In 2016, Bourgon purchased the site, as well as three others from Dominion and they revisited the condo idea.

“In Cornwall, people want to see it and feel it before they buy it so it makes pre-selling condos difficult,” said Bourgon Construction President Chris Markell.

Bourgon pivoted from the condo idea to a community hub.

“We definitely want to do something important downtown,” said Markell.

After reviewing the results of a feasibility study, Markell explained that Bourgon further refined the idea for the First on Second site.

“What we’re doing is watering down the risk,” he said. “We’re going to have retail on the ground floor, on the second floor we are going to have office space and on the upper two floors, apartments. I think it is important to bring residential space to the downtown.”

Markell explained that the vision for First on Second will be realized when the time is right and that their goal is to achieve the best possible outcome on this site in the heart of Cornwall’s downtown.

Cornwall shows their Pride

Alycia Douglass alycia.douglass@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - This long weekend, Cornwall came together to celebrate diversity, acceptance, and love in all its forms at the Cornwall Pride Festival.

Departing from the Cornwall Aquatic Centre, the parade wrapped up at the Justice Building with a flag raising, music, and guest speakers/ open mic.

The colourful celebration surpassed the expectations of organizers, with the Justice Building courtyard overflowing with community support.

“The turnout was unbelievable, but I think we’ve outgrown the courtyard,” said Diversity/ Diversité Cornwall’s director and president, Stephanie Nadeau. “Next year, we’re hoping to bring the festival back to Lamoureux Park to accommodate the growing numbers.”

With hundreds of community members coming out to support the event, Nadeau said that there was a healthy number of patrons coming out from as far as Montreal and Brockville. The event brought in a wide variety of ages, with many children getting in on the festivities.

“The support and the encouragement from the community is just wonderful,” said Nadeau.

“I had tears of joy seeing the whole community come together for this event.”

Nadeau says that there’s a lot that she enjoys about being involved in Cornwall Pride, but her main focus has always been the kids.

“My favourite part is the community feedback – when people stop me and thank me for doing this for the kids, I feel I’m doing something right,” said Nadeau. “This is for the teenagers, because that’s when most people are struggling with their sexuality.”

Get your geek on Alycia Douglass alycia.douglass@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - Hang onto your hats, folks, because the geeks are taking over Lamoureux Park Saturday, Aug. 19 for the fourth annual CoTiCon. In conjunction with Cornwall Food Fest and Beyond 21, the event is set to take place outdoors, with a variety of vendors, artists, multiple games and some great contests.

Event organizer and geek culture enthusiast, Annie DeRochie says that she was inspired to create an event that would fill a void within the community.

“When I started the event back in 2014, we didn’t have any conventions in the area,” said DeRochie. “I have been going to conventions since I was very young and am still to this day very passionate about them and cosplay.”

DeRochie says that the event has made huge strides since its inception, paying close attention to her main audience, and their requests.

“I realized that the gaming and anime community was far more popular at the event than other medias,” said DeRochie. All are still welcome but we now tend to cater mostly to these two to be more unique.”

Having grown in quality as well as size, DeRochie says she has seen some innovative costumes throughout the years.

“There are opportunities to merge many skills within the cosplay world.

There’s basic crafting skills, faux/foam/plastic armor making, basic to complex sewing techniques, make up skills, wig and hairstyling and much more involved in the creation of just one costume sometimes,” said DeRochie.

“Not to mention the photographers and videographers who help bring the characters to life. There are a lot of skills within this geekdom world.”

We’ve also grown in size and quality of course, as many a successful event do as they continue to go on throughout the years.

This year’s CoTiCon Rendezvous aims to be the biggest one yet, with special guests, costume contests, and a picnic. For more information, check out their facebook page.

Before & After

Volume 7, Numéro 18 le mercredi 9 août 2017 38 985 exemplaires

Communiqué de presse de le BSEO Récemment, le discours dans la presse et les médias sociaux concernant la distribution de trousses de naloxone et la prévalence de la consommation et des overdoses d’opioïdes dans la région incite le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario à publier un communiqué à ce sujet. « Certaines personnes semblent croire qu’il n’y a jamais eu de décès associés aux opioïdes à Cornwall, ce qui n’est absolument pas le cas », déclare Dr Paul Roumeliotis, Médecin hygiéniste. « En effet, dans la région de Cornwall, notre taux de visites à l’Urgence associées aux opioïdes est plus haut que la moyenne provinciale et compte parmi le plus élevé dans la région du RLISS de Champlain. » Selon les données locales, il y a eu au moins 35 décès associés aux opioïdes dans les comtés de l’Est (incluant Cornwall) entre 2010 et 2015.

Il n’y a pas trop longtemps, dans la région, les overdoses d’opioïdes étaient surtout dues au mésusage d’OxyContin, mais ces cas ont progressivement été remplacés par le mésusage du fentanyl. Le fentanyl est un opioïde puissant qui est parfois mortel quand il est utilisé de façon

inappropriée. Le fentanyl synthétique (de contrebande) peut être mortel même en petite quantité. Il est d’ailleurs responsable d’un grand nombre de décès d’un bout à l’autre du Canada récemment.

Bien qu’à ce jour il n’y ait pas eu de forte augmentation locale de décès liés au fentanyl, on sait que cette substance et son homologue synthétique sont présents dans la région. « Au cours de la semaine dernière, le fentanyl a fait des ravages à Toronto, un signe que le problème s’en vient vers l’est. En effet, des décès attribués au fentanyl se sont produits dans les régions voisines, y compris Ottawa », poursuit Dr Roumeliotis. « On craint que ce n’est qu’une question de temps et on doit être prêt. » « Évidemment, l’approche idéale est d’éviter de consommer des drogues de la rue, un point c’est tout. Cependant, on doit aussi s’assurer que pour ceux et celles qui finissent dans une situation d’urgence médicale causée par des opioïdes (parfois en consommant sans le savoir des drogues contenant du fentanyl), les premiers intervenants qui arrivent sur la scène disposent des outils qui peuvent potentiellement sauver la vie (naloxone) pour immédiatement

aider les victimes sur les lieux, » ajoute-t-il.

Le BSEO surveille les données sur les opioïdes, incluant les visites à l’Urgence, les décès ainsi que les données des premiers intervenants – police locale, services d’incendie et SMU. Nous avons également établi un groupe de travail communautaire dont la membriété variée comprend les hôpitaux, les conseils scolaires, les centres de santé communautaire, les services de toxicomanie, les intervenants d’urgence et le coroner. Un des principaux rôles de ce groupe est de surveiller et relever tous les incidents reliés aux opioïdes, y compris le besoin d’administrer la naloxone, l’hospitalisation, les visites à l’Urgence, etc.

Le BSEO a récemment organisé une série de

forums communautaires sur la consommation d’opioïdes et la prévention d’overdose, à l’intention des parents et des élèves. Ces présentations, qui incluent des renseignements supplémentaires et des données locales, sont disponibles au public dans la section « Fentanyl » du site à www.BSEO.ca. De plus, dans le cadre de sa stratégie de réduction des méfaits, le bureau de santé offre une formation sur la naloxone aux services d’incendie locaux et à d’autres partenaires et intervenants d’urgence. Il voit aussi à la distribution de trousses de naloxone gratuites aux consommateurs d’opioïdes et à leurs amis et aux membres de leur famille. Pour en savoir plus, appelez le BSEO au 613-933-1375 ou 1 800 267-7120.

AVIS DE COMMENCEMENT D’ÉTUDE ET DE SÉANCE D’INFORMATION PUBLIQUE Remplacement du passage inférieur de l’autoroute 401 à la route de comté 36 (chemin Post) (WP 257-00-01) Conception détaillée et étude d’évaluation environnementale

L’ÉTUDE Le ministère des Transports de l’Ontario (MTO) a retenu les services de WSP pour effectuer la conception détaillée et l’étude d’évaluation environnementale portant sur le remplacement du passage inférieur de l’autoroute 401 à la route de comté 36 (chemin Post), dans le canton de South Stormont. Le présent avis vise à vous informer de l’étude et à donner au public l’occasion de formuler des commentaires et/ou donner de l’information pouvant concerner l’étude.

Voici les éléments du projet et ses répercussions prévues sur la circulation : • remplacement de la structure complète; • fermeture complète de la route de comté 36 pendant la construction, avec détournement de la circulation par la route de comté 33 (promenade Power Dam), le chemin Cornwall Centre, la route de comté 2 et la route de comté 15 (chemin Avonmore); • fermetures nocturnes de courte durée de l’autoroute 401 pour tenir compte de la démolition de la structure existante, avec détournement de la circulation par la route de comté 35 (chemin Moulinette), la route de comté 2, le chemin Tollgate, et l’avenue Brookdale; et • fermetures périodiques de voies sur l’autoroute 401 à cause des activités de construction.

Un centre d’information publique en ligne, assorti de documents affichés sur le site Web du projet, se trouvera à l’adresse www.401bridgeimprovements.com/post-road. Il servira à présenter les constatations et fournira aux intervenants l’occasion d’examiner et de commenter le remplacement proposé, y compris ses répercussions potentielles et les mesures d’atténuation proposées.

ACTUALITéS

Plantez vos racines dans les programmes d’intendance forestière Communiqué de presse de la CNS Si vous êtes de ceux qui raffolent de plein air et aiment explorer les espaces naturels de la région, la Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) a besoin de vous! La CNS recrute des intendants forestiers pour aider à gérer et protéger son environnement local qui comprend plus de 12 000 acres de terres boisées disséminées sur une superficie de 4 384 km², allant du nord de Brockville à Plantagenet. « Les intendants forestiers reçoivent une formation du personnel pour pouvoir surveiller les propriétés de la CNS situées proches de chez eux et nous transmettre leurs résultats » a déclaré Holly Stemberger, coordinatrice du programme. Ils sont invités à remettre des rapports à la CNS, concernant les utilisations de la propriété, les besoins d’entretien des sentiers et les espèces observées. « Les intendants forestiers sont nos yeux et nos oreilles sur le terrain et proviennent de divers milieux, des chasseurs aux naturalistes.

Aucune expérience n’est nécessaire pour postuler! La seule restriction est que les candidats doivent avoir au moins 18 ans. » a ajouté Holly Stemberger.

Devenir intendant forestier est un excellent moyen d’aider à préserver la beauté et l’accessibilité des espaces naturels entretenus par la CNS afin que le public puisse les utiliser et en profiter. Contactez la CNS aujourd’hui pour savoir comment vous pouvez vous inscrire comme intendant forestier!

Il existe de nombreuses autres façons pour les propriétaires fonciers de s’impliquer dans les programmes d’intendance forestière de la CNS. Grâce au financement provincial, la CNS continue d’offrir des conifères et des feuillus à un taux réduit aux résidents du territoire de la CNS. Les commandes d’arbres sont déjà acceptées pour 2018!

La CNS offre également un Programme de ressources pour les boisés aux propriétaires fonciers dans les comtés unis de Prescott et Russell. « Grâce à notre Programme de ressources pour les boisés, un technicien forestier visite votre propriété et propose des options de gestion en fonction d’une évaluation préliminaire du site. Les propriétaires fonciers reçoivent également des informations sur les divers programmes, tels que le Programme d’encouragement fiscal pour les forêts aménagées, qui peut offrir une réduction d’impôt allant jusqu’à 75% sur les terrains résidentiels privés en Ontario. » a déclaré Cheyene Brunet, technicienne en foresterie à la CNS. Les propriétaires fonciers qui complètent un plan du Programme d’encouragement fiscal pour les forêts aménagées peuvent être admissibles à une subvention pouvant aller jusqu’à 500 $ par l’entremise de la CNS.

It’s hot out …is your car thirsty?

Tim Houle Auto Talk

Oil is the lifeblood of your car. It keeps hardworking engine parts running clean, smooth and cool. Most owner’s manuals suggest that you change your oil and oil filter every 12,070 kilometers. Oil change specialists suggest every 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometers) or three months. The fact is, most of us do a lot of heavy driving during the summer when an engine is more likely to overheat. So at least check your oil before you head out on that road trip with the family.

To check your oil, let your car run for a few minutes, then park it on a level surface and shut off the engine. Open the hood and locate the oil dipstick. You’re looking for two things here: the level of oil and how the oil looks. If you’re low on oil, you can either add another quart or simply change the oil completely. The oil should look brownish yellow and clean on the stick. If the oil is a dark color or there’s a lot of dirt and grime in it, then you definitely need an oil change and oil filter replacement.

Wait, didn’t you do a lot of these things when you got your car ready for colder weather? As a matter of fact, yes.

1160 South Branch Road, Cornwall Tee times 613-938-8009 RECYCLE THAT OIL! If you change your own oil and oil filter, don’t just throw the old oil and used filter in the garbage or dump the oil down the sewer drain. It can pollute local streams or end up in the groundwater. Place the oil in a recyclable plastic container like an empty two-liter soda bottle. Place the oil filter over a plastic pan or tray and let it drain for 12 hours.

Add that oil to the two-liter bottle, put the used filter in a plastic bag and take everything to your nearest designated recycling center. Many oil change places and auto parts stores accept used oil and filters.

Shar’s Tip of the Week

No, the “magic” bowl cleaners that sit in your toilet tank don’t end toilet cleaning forever. They help sanitize the bowl, control stains, and stretch out the time between cleanings, but they don’t take the place of a good periodic scrubbing with toilet bowl cleaner. What is a true bowl cleaner?

Something that not only kills germs but can get tough with hard-water deposits such as bowl ring. Most bowl cleaners contain either hydrochloric or phosphoric acid. There are

nonacid cleaners, safer to use, but less effective on hardwater scale.

The phosphorics are the safest of the acid cleaners, for both you and your bathroom surfaces, but slower acting. Formulas containing hydrochloric acid will get ride of hard-water deposits faster but must be handled with GREAT CARE. Always wear rubber gloves when handle these products.

Councillor says Fire Services “wasting time” with Naloxone kits Nick Seebruch

Eastern Ontario Health unit (EOHU) in order to be able to administer Naloxone in cases of Opiod overdose.

CORNWALL, Ontario - In an email to Representatives of the Fire Services said that Councillors, administration and the media, as first responders, they want to be prepared Councillor Mark before overdoses become an issue.

MacDonald objected to “The Cornwall Fire Service will provide this Cornwall Fire Service crucial Opioid overdose treatment before it getting involved in becomes a major issue in Eastern Ontario,” said overdose prevention.

Firefighter Eric Richer, CFS Medical Response In a media release Team Lead. on Aug. 2 the City of “All of our firefighters have received the propCornwall announced er training and providing this service will ensure that its Fire Services had that citizens get the care they need in a timely MacDonald been working with the manner, supplementing the services that are nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

already provided by Cornwall SDG Paramedic Services,” added Fire Chief Pierre Voisine.

Councillor Mark MacDonald said that this was municipal time and money that could have been better spent.

“The Fire Master Plan (FMP) deals directly with our “needs” and this not one of them,” Councillor MacDonald said in an email. “This is one of a number of issues that should be addressed by the new FMP Committee. The FMP points out very clearly that our citizens would be safer and better served if our fire service was meeting our basic “needs” under the FMP, rather than wasting time doing things that are not mandated. And since when does our fire service

“need” a Medical Response Team Leader. This is going way beyond our legislative requirements.”

The Councillor went on to say that Fire Services was exceeding its legislative needs, while failing to adequately meet basic needs.

“At the present time, our fire service falls short, when it comes to meeting our very basic “need” regarding enough fire fighters responding to Moderate or High Risk calls,” he wrote. “This fact alone should send up a huge red flag regarding putting our citizens and the Corporation at risk. We should be focusing on meeting our basic “needs” when it comes to safety of lives and property.”

She held so many roles in her short life loving wife and dedicated mother to top the list but she touched so many lives and was loved by everyone who knew her. Her service was a clear sign of how loved she was. She would have been proud to see how filled the church was for her service because she always loved to bring people together and she did that …one last time. We wanted to take this opportunity to tell you all how grateful we were for all your love and support.

PM gets his kilt on at the Glengarry Highland Games Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stopped in at the 70th Glengarry Highland Games on the afternoon of Friday, Aug. 4.

People were eagerly gathering around the main gate at the Maxville well before the Prime Minister’s arrival, which was

scheduled for 2 p.m.

Earlier in the day, Trudeau had been touring the St. Albert’s Cheese Factory in St. Albert, ON. The Prime Minister arrived at around 2:15 p.m., already dressed in a Sinclair tartan kilt, and he and his entourage quickly entered the Glengarry Sports Hall of Fame for a tour.

The crowd of easily over 100 people

eagerly pressed in towards the entrance of the Sports Hall of Fame waiting for the Prime Minister to emerge. When he did, roughly a half-hour to 45 minutes later, he slowly made his way through the throngs of people shaking hands and taking selfies.

One young boy, Roland O’Donald eagerly made his way through the crowd hoping

Let’s

to meet the Prime Minister, in the end, he proudly walked away with his autograph.

Trudeau slowly toured around the Maxville Fairgrounds, greeting the public as he passed.

In all the Prime Minister spent around one hour at the Glengarry Highland Games before departing.

He was so different that we fell in love with him immediately and we hope he did the same with us.

Trudeau’s appearance at the Glengarry Highland Games was certainly controversial. Do people hate the politician, the person or both?

For those who say he was wasting taxpayer money, don’t you think that Harper did the same kind of thing with photo ops? Every politician does.

Friends and family of Chris Varin are invited to the First Annual Chris Varin Golf Invitational, in memory of Chris Varin, who passed away last September at the age of 32. The event will be held at Archies from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, August 12. It is planned on being a fun filled event in memory of Chris.

Deaf Mafia Bookkeeper

A mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper of 20 years, Guido, has cheated him out of $10 million. Guido is deaf which is why he got the job in the first place. The Godfather assumed that since Guido could not hear anything, he could never testify in court.

When the Godfather goes to confront Guido about his missing $10 million, he takes along his personal lawyer because he knows sign language.

The Godfather tells the lawyer, “Ask him where the money is!”

The lawyer, using sign language, asks Guido, “Where’s the money?”

Guido signs back, “I don’t know what you are talking about.” The lawyer tells the Godfather, “He says he doesn’t know what you are talking about.”

The Godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it to Guido’s head and says, “Ask him again or I’ll kill him!”

The lawyer signs to Guido, “He’ll kill you if you don’t tell him.” Guido trembles and signs back, “OK! You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed at my cousin Bruno’s house.”

The Godfather asks the lawyer, “What did he say?”

The lawyer replies, “He says you don’t have the guts to pull the trigger.”

CORNWALL, Ontario - The 17th annual Bereaved Families Gala will be on Saturday, Sept. 16.

Every year, the gala raises funds for Bereaved Families of Cornwall and Area to help them provide support for families in the most difficult of times.

The gala will raise money and help them provide programs for children and youth.

These programs help children from 4 to 12 and teens from 13 to 19 deal with the loss of a loved one and the grieving process.

Each program has a social worker to support the children, as well as amenities like snacks and supplies.

They also offer regular group sessions for

The Bereaved Families of Cornwall and Area receive no outside funding, they survive on donations and sponsorships.
