ALKALINE Powers Up Live Performances at The Port Theatre
Jeff Brunet, Concert promoter and owner of Alkaline Entertainment had 5 things on his To Do List for the Port Theatre on Montreal Road in Cornwall and with the help of Lucie Hart, Chair of Citizens for The Port, countless volunteer hours and donations, 2 items are completed and 3 left to go. √ Inside Construction √ Adequate power for live performances New Stage Theatre Marquee to be lit up again Dressing Rooms restored for acts
Walking in to the Port today was like visiting with an old friend, a very comfortable feeling and I’m sure that is the way 350 people who came here last Friday to see the first live show in 60 years, “Ring of Fire”, a Johny Cash Experience felt. The show was brought here by Jeff Brunet who says, “I finally found a place to call home and bring live entertainment to.” Glenn MacGillivray, owner of The Port Theatre, had a big smile on his face as the future of the theatre is certainly looking bright. Jeff, who has been in the music business since 1993 has many more acts lined up. The Port will be the place have popcorn and a beer while seeing concerts like the “Hardworking Man”, (Brooks & Dunne Tribute) scheduled for Saturday, September 22 and in October, “Comfortably Numb”, ( Pink Floyd Tribute). Also look out for Dr. Hook, The Stampeders and Trooper among others.

The 65th Glengarry Highland Games ...
Seeker Chick Mai-Liis spent a wonderful and very hot Saturday afternoon at the Glengarry Highland Games, which as always was enjoyed by thousands of people, watching the many events as well as checking out all the vendors. I was especially happy to find yet another Golly Wog to add to my collection - a rare find these days as these wonderful dolls are nowhere to be found in the UK.
I love going to Maxville as it has the feel of an English Seaside spot - quiet and relaxing but one weekend of the year it has traffic jams and becomes a busy, busy place - on Highland Games Weekend! See below the before and after pics that I took.

A Slow and Painful Death???
My wife was screaming at me: "Leave!! Get out of this house!" she ordered. As I was walking out the door she yelled, "I hope you die a slow and painful death!" So I turned around and replied "So now you want me to stay?"

City Snippets! Sidewalk maintenance program focuses on pedestrian safety.
Have you ever wondered what those pink spraypaint lines on the sidewalk are for? They are signs of the City’s Sidewalk Maintenance Program at work. Over time, sidewalks become damaged by a variety of factors, including weather, tree roots and regular usage. To address this issue, the City of Cornwall maintains a Sidewalk Maintenance Program that strives to keep sidewalks safe for pedestrians through ongoing inspections and repairs. The City currently conducts a yearly inspection of sidewalks for surface discontinuities in accordance with the minimum maintenance standards set out in the Ontario Municipal Act. If a surface discontinuity on a sidewalk exceeds two centimeters, the minimum standard is to treat the surface discontinuity within 14 days. Treatment measures could include making permanent or temporary repairs, alerting sidewalk users to the surface discontinuity or preventing access to the area. Residents who notice a potential trip hazard on a City sidewalk are asked to contact the Municipal Works Department at (613) 932-5354. For more information on the minimum maintenance standards for sidewalks, please contact Tommy Sauve, Equipment Training and Safety Supervisor, at (613) 930-2787 ext 2241 or tsauve@cornwall.ca. www.cleanwaterguy.com

Talking Beaver with Rebecca Sorrell
Article by Jason Setnyk - Submitted Photo
Rebecca Sorrell has been fighting the good fight for some furry little creatures in our City. She says, "It is with great joy that I bring to you the news that the City of Cornwall has started the journey of moving forward towards a progressive and wildlife-friendly future. With the help of The Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals out of Vancouver and Beaver Solutions out of Massachusetts, our very own Guindon park has been fitted with three separate devices designed to deter beaver destruction in a humane fashion. These pond levelers and exclusion fences will stop the beavers' ability of damming in the park and posing any risk to the infrastructure to the power damn nearby, while giving the beavers the opportunity to continue to provide a balanced ecosystem in the park. This pilot project brings with it the opportunity of opening the door to a city-wide plan of ending barbaric kill-trapping practices and learning to live in balanced harmony with all living creatures. Kudos to all city officials involved and a special thanks to the countless volunteers that helped to make history in our beautiful city!"
Beaver traps were a common practice at Guindon Park for about twentyfive years. When Sorrell learned about this on Cornwall Free News she was horrified by the practice. She got to work on a petition - and on finding a more ethical way of deterring beavers without harming them. Although she faced some resistance at first, she eventually got to speak to City Council, and along with Wyatt Walsh, had meetings with parks and recreation officials. "I was also able to present an offer made to the city by The Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals in which they were willing to come to Cornwall and install special devices designed to eliminate beaver issues in a humane fashion. This was all being offered at no cost to the city. The following morning I received the amazing news that Stephen Alexander had ordered that all traps be removed from Guindon park". Thanks to this group of animal activists, Cornwall is not just the friendly City, but now it is a beaver-friendly city too!

***Roller Derby Game/Scrimmage*** Date: Saturday August 11, 2012 Scrimmage Time: 4-6 pm BBQ Time: 6-7 pm Where: Long Sault Arena Tickets: Available through Derby Girls or at the door Come watch us play! The SRDG are excited to host their first Black and White flat track Scrimmage this summer. See first-hand what Roller Derby is all about when the girls get in action in an actual scrimmage, referees and all. The league will be divided into two teams for this event. At the venue fans can enjoy a food concession, BBQ and unlimited Derby entertainment. Derby merchandise will also be available. For a full Derby experience, take advantage of our floor “Suicide” seating. We suggest all children and woman who are expecting to sit in the bleachers. If you’ve got an itch to skate after you’ve seen us, then stick around for our Roller Disco Night.
THE LOCAL SEEKER (August 10 - pg. 12)
As a relatively new sport following it’s resurgence in the 1990’s, Roller Derby has evolved from season to season becoming more competitive and athletic as its skaters further hone their strategies. Roller Derby has experienced a nation-wide explosion in the past few years, and now has found its way to the Cornwall area.
The SRDG/PD were founded in August, 2011 with four girls with a vision and intention of bringing Derby to our community. The team has grown into 22 members and is still flourishing. The league is comprised of fearless, strong, intelligent women athletes who crave and share a common interest of growth and physical strength through this sport. Next year we hope to have enough members to have both a home and a travelling team. We’ve worked with trainers from Montreal, Ottawa and British Columbia and have our own personal team trainer, Jeff Brown “WhiteSnake”. We are always growing and continue to nurture our inner athlete & derby skills. We are members of the Canadian Women’s Roller Derby Association and practise under a strict set of rules.
Roller Derby is a full contact, aggressive, competitive sport conducted on four-wheeled skates. Trips, grabs, elbows, head butts and fist-fighting are all illegal. Shoulder, hip checks and body blocks are totally legit, but still no one is invincible to injury, bumps and bruises.
The SRDG/PD are bringing its first flat track action to the area this summer with several events that we would like to share with the public. Come and be a part of our Roller Derby Game/Scrimmage, followed by a BBQ. Come out and watch us play then have the chance to skate with your favourite Derby Girl at our Roller Disco Night. New recruits, or as we Derby Sisters like to refer to new skaters, “Fresh Meat” are welcomed. We are always looking to expand our roster. Women of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to join. Interested? Just contact our Recruiting Co-ordinator, Amy Brown. We are a non profit league run by our members for our members. Without help from our sponsors we wouldn’t have come this far.
***Roller Disco Night*** Date: Saturday August 11, 2012 Time: 7-10 pm Where: Long Sault Arena Tickets: Available through our Derby Girls or at the door. Come be a part and help support our 2nd Roller Disco Fundraiser and keep the fun rolling. This event is open to the public and is a family friendly event. Retro quad skates will be available to rent, for an additional fee. People are encouraged to bring their own quad or inline skates from home, since supply will be limited. Family packages will also make this evening more affordable for all. For health and safety reasons, it is strongly recommended for everyone to wear safety gear when skating. *** We are also looking for skating venues in the Fall and are always looking for volunteers.***
If you would like to become a sponsor of our upcoming events, please contact us at www.seawayrollerderbygirls.com We need sponsorship and offer sponsor packages as low as $50.

Villanueva and Blue Jays bullpen shut-out the Indians
Article and Photos by Jason Setnyk
Toronto Ontario - July 15th 2012 - The Toronto Blue Jays were one game above 500 with a 3-0 win over the Cleveland Indians at the Rogers Centre on Sunday, July 15th. It was rainy and gloomy in downtown Toronto, but the Blue Jays bullpen was shining. Righthander Carlos Villanueva threw six scoreless frames, and the injury-plagued Jays bullpen managed to complete the shut-out that Sunday afternoon.
Before we even set foot in the park, there were plenty of activities for children outside the stadium. My kids met and highfived the mascots, Ace and Junior. If that wasn’t enough of a thrill, they got free ice cream, tattoos and before balloons jumping around on the bounce houses.

The Kinsmen Cornwall Lift-Off Board of Directors would like to extend a heart-felt thank you to all of those that took part in the 16th edition of the Balloon festival. The vision was and continues to be to have Hot Air Balloons fill the sky over the weekend while entertaining SD&G residents and tourists alike. The 2012 brought a record year for our balloons as all 6 flights went up from Lamoureux Park! We also saw a diverse crowd enjoy some top Canadian musical acts including Burton Cummings and Marianas Trench! Many others enjoyed the daily activities in all areas of the park. Stay tuned for next year’s event scheduled for July 11-14th, 2013 and please take the time to recognize the 2012 sponsors.
