Fluoride should return say doctors, but arsenic found in acid TODD LIHOU todd.lihou@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Proponents of water fluoridation said Cornwall’s overall health will suffer if the practice is abandoned.

Paul Roumeliotis, the local medical officer of health, and Canada’s chief dental officer Dr. Peter Cooney, told councillors Monday too much scare mongering is taking place from critics of the practice.

Cooney said one would have to drink as much as 15,000 litres of water in one sitting to get a toxic dose of fluoride.

“There is a huge level of safety between

what is in your water and what is toxic,” he said.

But that hasn’t stopped critics from expressing concern with the issue.

The acid used to fluoridate Cornwall’s water contains arsenic, said Peter Van Caulart, executive director of the Environmental Training Institute in Niagara, prior to Monday’s city council meeting.

He said the 15,000 litres of hydrofluorosilicic acid in storage at the water treatment plant in Cornwall could contain as much as 800 grams of arsenic – a poisonous substance.

Van Caulart arrived at this conclusion after receiving a sample of the acid, which shows it contains about 55.75 parts per million of arsenic. The material he shared with the media prior to the council meeting has also been shared with city council, he said.

Van Caulart, who trains water and wastewater operators in Niagara, was asked to come to Cornwall by the union representing such operators at the Cornwall treatment plant.

“The process of fluoridation is not a process to treat drinking water,” said Van Caulart.

Among reams of material filed with the city clerk for his Monday presentation is specific mention of hydrofluorosilic acid, the material added to Cornwall’s water supply in the past to create the fluoride which proponents argue results in stronger teeth.

“Once introduced into drinking water, due to the pH of that water, the (acid) is immediately and completely hydrolyzed (broken down),” reads a response to a presentation made at the previous council meeting by St. Lawrence University professor Paul Connett.

“After this point, (the acid) no longer exists in that water. It does not reach the tap. It is not ingested. It is therefore of no concern, whatsoever.”

But in its pure form hydrofluorosilic acid is extremely toxic, and city environment manager Morris McCormick has even labeled it a “significant” risk to health and safety.

Roumeliotis pointed to the health benefits of drinking fluoridated water, including a reduction in tooth decay of up to 40 per cent in people of all ages.

He further suggests every dollar invested in fluoridating water results in a $38 savings in dental treatments.

The practice of fluoridating Cornwall’s water was abandoned three years ago when health and safety concerns at the city’s water treatment plant became evident.

It will cost taxpayers as much as $350,000 to fix the safety issues at the plant, and an additional $50,000 a year to operate with a fluoridated system.

“It’s done after the water is already clean.

“There is no excuse for topping up what isn’t found in the water naturally.”

But that is exactly what happened Monday night at city hall when Roumeliotis lobbied city councillors to return fluoride to Cornwall’s water supply.

“The Cornwall area has higher rates of chronic diseases, all of which are worsened by poor oral health,” he said. “If the fluoride is not in the water (dentists) are going to be working 24-7.

“We know (area citizens) tend to be sicker, and we know there is no coverage. We know that with age, the percentage of people with dental insurance goes down. And our elderly are getting less coverage.”

Many local dentists attended the Monday council meeting, and Roumeliotis said as many as 20 have signed a petition seeking a return to water fluoridation in Cornwall. He added a number of dental associations have made similar commitments.

“Oral health really is a picture of our overall health. It’s (poor dental health) one of the most common chronic diseases – more common than asthma,” he said.

The city has been without fluoridated water for nearly three years, after safety concerns at the treatment plant forced the city to abandon the process.

Roumeliotis refuted material provided just two weeks ago from an American university professor who lobbied city council to abandon water fluoridation for good.

Sex abuse survivor shares his story in hopes others come forward TODD LIHOU CORNWALL, Ontario – Chris Archambault can still remember, with vivid detail, the sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of a family member from age eight to 11.

The rapes he would endure, in some cases with a utility knife, left him scarred both emotionally, and physically.

Archambault reached out to Seaway News to tell his story, including his name and his photograph, because the Cornwall man said a frank discussion needs to take place about the trials a sexual abuse survivor must overcome on their way to enjoying a happy life.

“The effect is that I hid it until I was 21 years old, from everyone in my family,” he said in an interview. “Over a period from my teenage years, until now I have had anxiety, depression – I’ve been scared to do things and I’ve had phobias.”

Now 29, Archambault said if the veils of secrecy concerning sex abuse, and the stigma society attaches to victims, can be lifted through discourse it will make it easier for people to come forward with their stories.

“Not everyone is strong about being sexually abused and holding it in for so many years,” he said. “The programs need to be more spoken about. You don’t need to hide anymore.”

What can make the problem more difficult to manage is time. Sarah Kaplan, director of the Assault and Sexual Abuse Program at the Cornwall Community Hospital, said child victims of attacks are often bewildered that someone they know has brutalized them.

“It’s often the same people who bring them to hockey games, or buy them McDonald’s,” she said.

As an example, there were some 337 ASAP clients last year who visited the hospital seeking counselling services, versus 75 who used the service via the emergency room directly following an incident.

What that tells Kaplan is more people are keeping the attacks secret, often for years, instead of reporting things immediately.

“So much time has gone by that the problems are so much more complex now,” she said.

That is very much the case for Archambault. He struggled with not only psychological impediments, but drugs as well. For more than two years he was addicted to benzodiazepine, a psychoactive drug that helped him suppress the images of his childhood.

He got clean 18 months ago.

“I saw a forensic psychiatrist at the Royal Ottawa Hospital and they diagnosed me with post-traumatic stress disorder,” he said, adding fears of being in open spaces, and of what strangers might do to him, nearly consumed his life.

“Life is hard. Basically, you’re not sleeping right.

You’re having flashbacks and having nightmares.

You have cold sweats. Basically, it’s all about trying to keep yourself grounded from all that happened to you.

“I see an ASAP worker at the Cornwall Community Hospital on a weekly basis. They’ve helped me quite a bit. I’ve been reading about abusers.”

And he’s been writing, too. Archambault penned a three-page letter to hospital staff, thank-

Chris Archambault stands in front of the Cornwall Community Hospital where he has sought treatment for his abuse. ing staffers for the support he’s finally received.

“I was asking a lot of questions – like why me?” he said. “Really, the answer to it is he was a sicko.

He preyed on kids.”

To make matters worse, the attacker still lives in Cornwall, has never been reported, and Archambault believes he was not this person’s only victim.

Archambault said through the strength he is finding by talking about his abuse, he is readying himself to report his attacker to police.

“It’s just when the time is right,” he said. “Being a sexual abuse survivor, it’s all about timing.”

That’s a part of the story Kaplan has heard many times in the past.

“We first have to place the blame on the right person – it doesn’t matter what they say or where they go. We don’t need to be hiding the services available for sexual assault victims,” she said. “We shouldn’t be the ones hiding.

“The fellow you are talking to is absolutely right. We need more help.”

Cornwall man has raised tens of thousands for Cornwall Hospice TODD LIHOU todd.lihou@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - Publicly Ray O’Collin has raised tens of thousands of dollars for Hospice Cornwall - privately, he’s doing it for his mom.

The retiree who settled in Cornwall in 2000 following years as a Montreal police officer said in an interview the inspiration for collecting as much as $8,000 a year since 2009 for the annual Hike for Hospice fundraiser is about paying tribute to his mother Madeline, who passed away in 1991 following a battle with cancer.

“I felt that I owed something,” he said. “I couldn’t be there when she passed away.”

Hike for Hospice began in 2009 as a way to raise funds for a facility that has helped about 1,000 people make the transition to death from life as painless as possible.

O’Collin wishes something like hospice was

available for his mom when she passed away.

“I hear of people dying in hospitals...and there’s nothing the nurses can do for them, because they are so short-staffed,” he said.

“Hospice sells itself.

“The services up there - you can’t say enough about that. It’s amazing.”

Sandy Collette said fundraisers like O’Collin are integral to the service.

“We love what he has done for us,” she said.

Dozens of volunteers will take part in Hike for Hospice, May 1, which last year brought in more than $53,000. As much as $20,000 has already been raised this year, and the event hasn’t even taken place yet.

Registration takes place at noon on May 1, with opening remarks to follow at 1 p.m. and the hike itself at 1:30 p.m.

A barbecue and closing remarks are scheduled for 2:30 p.m. For more information, or to register, call 613-932-3451.

Train whistles will continue at Tollgate Road crossing TODD LIHOU todd.lihou@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – As far as city council is concerned, train whistles will continue blaring at the Tollgate Road crossing in Cornwall.

City council voted Monday night to keep the status quo when it comes to train whis-

tles, despite an outcry from some who wanted the practice stopped.

“I grew up near train tracks. I think they are vital,” said Coun. David Murphy. “ We knew when the train was coming we hightailed it back to the house.

“It ’s the same sound in ever y community.”

Coun. Bernadette Clement agreed.

“Railway crossing safety has been in the news lately,” she said. “In this day and age we want to be more careful than not.”

It would have cost the city about $30,000 to study the issue of eliminating train whistles at the crossing.

SERVING CORNWALL’S GREATEST NEEDS SINCE 1933

CAPE soars to new heights in 2016 ADAM BRAZEAU adam.brazeau@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ont. – In two years, CAPE (Cornwall & Area Pop Event) has cemented its place as the premiere local gathering for cosplayers, Trekkies, Whovians, and furries, to name a few.

Organizers Randy and Carol Sauve said opening day attendance rivals last year’s inaugural oneday edition’s final count of 3,500. And with an added second day, CAPE 2016 (April 23-24) drew an estimated crowd of 6,000.

“The turnout was better than we expected,”

Carol said. “We’re getting such great feedback from all the vendors and guests.”

The event featured over 290 exhibitors, from Star Trek TV series and Clerks alumni to local cosplayers, on two NHL-sized ice pads at the Benson Centre.

Randy and Carol went all out to make their special day, memorable. And we’re not just talking about CAPE. They tied the knot during the event on Saturday (April 23). As you can probably guess, this was not your average, everyday nuptials.

Cleaning up Cornwall’s shoreline

Out with the cold, in with the new.

THE WELL-EquippED 2016

CiViC

adam.brazeau@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ont. – The timing of the $25,300 Ontario Trillium Foundation grant could not have been more perfect.

The St. Lawrence River Institute of Enviromental Sciences kicked off Earth Day (Friday, April 22) announcing the start of a collaborative initiative to cleanup four sites along the Cornwall shoreline, thanks to the cash injection.

MPP Jim McDonell and Paulette Hebert, OTF representative, were at the river institute to announce the grant.

“The river institute continues to be a local hub for research excellence and stewardship initiatives,” said McDonell. “Through this grant, the OTF is recognizing the institute’s importance as a catalyst for community environmental involvement and awareness.”

For this project, the river institute will work with partners from the Cornwall Lunker Club, the Seaway Valley Divers, the Upper St. Lawrence River Protection Network, and community volunteers.

Submerged garbage and debris will be removed from the water and an onshore cleanup will remove garbage from the shoreline. The four events intend to raise awareness and create a movement for people to realize their impact on the environment and take action for a cleaner river.

“Over the years, local divers and fishermen have expressed dismay at the debris and garbage they encounter on the bottom of the river, and more recently, citizens have encouraged us to take action,” said Dr. Jeff Ridal,

Three generations of success: Napa Autopro in Lancaster Adam Brazeau adam.brazeau@tc.tc

LANCASTER, Ont. – It all started with a small garage on Military Road.

The St. Pierre family, of Lancaster, celebrated over half a century of business on Thursday (April 14), as ownership of Napa Autopro has changed hands within the family for the third time.

In May 2015, Pat St. Pierre sold the business to his son, Thomas, and wife, Kelly.

The business has been in the family since 1950, when Pat’s father, Wilfred St. Pierre, purchased the building and ran St. Pierre Garage, while raising nine children in Lancaster with his wife, Irene.

Pat purchased the business from his father in 1981. He and his wife, Madeleine, also raised their five children in Lancaster.

Since purchasing Napa Autopro in 2015, Thomas and Kelly have continued to run the business in the same capacity, making this the third generation of ownership over the course of 66 years.

South Glengarry Mayor Ian McLeod was on hand to congratulate the St. Pierre family, stating, “It’s nice to see businesses and families grow in our community, you want to see that tradition continue.”

The business has continued to gain success under Thomas and Kelly’s ownership; in 2015 it was named the Provincial Autopro of the Year.

Napa Autopro is located at 175 Military Road in Lancaster and can be contacted at 613-347-2038.

SOUTH GLENGARRY: A new councillor, a familiar face Adam Brazeau adam.brazeau@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ont. – A familiar face returns to township politics.

South Glengarry Council unanimously selected Bill McKenzie, a former councillor and deputy mayor, to replace outgoing councillor Joyce Gravelle.

“Thank you for this opportunity, I’m happy to be back,” said McKenzie, after being sworn in at the April 11 council meeting in Lancaster. “I hope we’re successful going forward and I’m very proud of the community we serve.”

Council agreed to offer the appointment to McKenzie, who had the next highest number of votes in the 2014 municipal election, instead of holding a by-election to fill the vacancy.

“On behalf of all members of council, we want to thank you for returning to the council table,” said S.G. Mayor Ian McLeod.

Originally elected in 2006, McKenzie served as councillor from 2006 to 2011 and was appointed deputy mayor in 2011, a position he held until the 2014 municipal election.

McKenzie owns and operates the Border Par 3 Golf course in Bainsville, where he also resides.

LONG SAULT MARINA TO CLOSE A longtime fixture in Long Sault will be undergoing a massive change.

Long Sault Marina has been sold and will be completely torn down so that developer JC Godard can build a massive development that will include two seven-storey condo complexes.

Bentley’s Boardwalk will consist of 72 condominium suites and a boat club. It’s believed demolition and new construction will begin this summer. “(My initial reaction of this development) was excitement,” said South Stormont Mayor Jim Bancroft. “(It’s a) great project for the Long Sault area and South Stormont, a major investment by a local developer well known to our community.”

The mayor added redevelopment of waterfront lands is a priority for the township.

SMALLBATCH BREWERY CELEBRATES idea.”

The taps opened and the suds flowed as thirsty craft beer enthusiasts, well-wishers, and dignitaries came out to toast the success of Rurban Brewing.

Retired high school science teacher A.J. Roraback and his wife, Karen, opened the doors to their small-batch brewery at a grand opening event on Saturday (April 23).

Staff members scrambled behind the bar to keep mugs and glasses filled as dozens enjoyed a sample of what their taps had to offer during a guided tour.

Rurban Brewing beer is unfiltered and unpasteurized, with all-natural ingredients, including water, malt, grains, whole fruit, spices, hops, and yeast.

“We’ve seen over the last couple of years Boundary Road…certainly has had many, many changes. It’s no longer just a connecting link. It has become an employment centre,” he said last month. “I think it is acknowledged by everyone in business that you require full municipal services.”

ALEXANDRIA MOULDING SELLS After 73 years of family ownership, Alexandria Moulding is entering a new era – the Cholettes have sold a controlling stake of the North Glengarry business to a private equity firm.

Alexandria Moulding, a leading manufacturer and distributor of mouldings and millwork products, announced Wednesday (April 13) Industrial Opportunity Partners (IOP), an operations-focused firm based in Evanston, IL., is in a new partnership with the local company.

John MacDonald, spokesperson at Alexandria Moulding, told Seaway News in a telephone interview Wednesday (April 20) the 450-500 unionized employees at the Alexandria plant “won’t be impacted during the paper transition.”

“It’s business as usual,” said MacDonald, staff member for over 45 years. “IOP now owns a major part of the shares, but there will be no changes (for workers).”

THE STREET BEAT

We’re all in this together CHANTAL TRANCHEMONTAGNE @moleinthewall An article published in The New Yorker late last year summed up the state of entitlement on our roadways: “Whichever mode of transportation you currently happen to be using— whether you’re the pedestrian, the cyclist, or the driver—you are correct, no matter the scenario. Everyone else is in your way, wrong, annoying, and otherwise a terrible human being.”

I can relate to this, and my guess is you can too. No doubt you’ve uttered something along the lines of: “Damn driver nearly hit me!”, “Stupid

cyclist is going the wrong way in the bike lane!” and/or “Peanut-brained pedestrian just walked out into “traffic!” You may have a few words for people on e-bikes, skateboards, rollerblades and motorized mobility aids too. (Note: Coarser language may be used in real life.)

Last year, after too many frustrating and dangerous incidents, I decided to change my attitude. It was a shift from entitlement to etiquette, and an exercise in personal responsibility.

There will always be people who

don’t follow the rules and no amount of griping will change that. So instead of worrying about what others do wrong, I turned my attention to what I can do right.

Now, this is on my must-do list, no matter how I choose to get around: • Slow down.

• Pay attention. Always.

• Make eye contact to ensure I see others and they see me.

• Respect the rules (read: laws) of the road.

• Be more forgiving.

For me, that last point is key.

Nobody is perfect, myself included.

So unless you never speed, jaywalk, drift past stop signs on your bike, or commit any other infractions, criminal or otherwise, you’re not exempt from criticism either.

What matters most, more than playing the blame game, is how we make our streets friendlier and safer by bettering our personal habits on our shared roadways.

Our community—family, friends and neighbours—deserve as much.

Use the crosswalk. Look before you cross.

Yield to pedestrians.

Always ride in the same direction as traffic.

River Kings skate closer to $700K goal Adam Brazeau adam.brazeau@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ont. – Will the Cornwall River Kings be playing at the Ed Lumley Arena for a fifth season?

According to owner Steve Moreau: “2016-17 will be the year of the Kings, it’s going to be our year.”

The LNAH team’s dressing room liquidation

sale last weekend raised $124,000 toward its $700,000 goal for the 2016-17 season.

“With the way the community is pulling together, we should be able to hit our goal by Sept. 1 as long as the support continues,” said Moreau.

He noted the amount raised through the sale of old jerseys, equipment, and other merchandise is about $120,000 more than the team had

last year at this time.

As the LNAH squad continues to raises funds towards its upcoming fifth season, ownership says the focus will be on local businesses to join in and assist with sponsorship.

“Private sponsors and donations will be key in the coming weeks and months,” said Moreau.

For more information, call the River Kings

office at 613-933-9797 or email the team at info@riverkings.ca.

Season tickets are currently on sale with an early bird special of $250 for adults, $180 for seniors/students, and only $70 for children (ages 5-12). If ordered before May 1, you’ll also receive a free River Kings replica jersey.

Council vote will be razor-thin when it comes to fluoride Todd Lihou todd.lihou@tc.tc

Like the rest of you city council continues to be as divided as the Capulets and the Montagues when it comes to fluoridating Cornwall water.

And not unlike another tragedy, it appears a razor-thin majority at the council table will vote to see fluoride returned to the water supply.

I’ve railed against fluoride in our water, in large part because workers at the filtration plant shouldn’t be exposed to it, and the $350,000 price tag attached to system upgrades is too much when one considers that most of the additives in the water end up right back in the St. Lawrence River before passing through our bodies.

The way council intends to vote on this issue is becoming clearer as time unfolds – and those of us against water fluoridation had best be prepared for disappointment.

Based on the comments made Monday night, it’s fair to suggest Councillors Andre Rivette, Elaine MacDonald, Denis Carr and perhaps even Bernadette Clement are in favour putting fluoride back. Clement wasn’t nearly as passionate as some of her other colleagues, but the way she was talking Monday night it’s fair to suggest she’s leaning towards fluoride.

On the flipside are Councillors Claude McIntosh, David Murphy, Justin Towndale and Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy who are against the

practice.

Undecideds/unknowns include Councillors Maurice Dupelle, Carilyne Hebert and Mark MacDonald.

But based on the scuttlebutt I am hearing from city hall, it’s likely those on the fence will vote fluoride – though I hope they don’t.

I floated the idea a couple of weeks ago of going the route of a referendum at the next municipal election, but there’s not enough support around the council table for such a move – which means sometime next month, likely the first meeting of May, councillors will vote to finally put this issue to rest.

Towndale is now on an extended leave for the next three months while he trains to become a member of the Canadian Forces, so consider that a lost vote on the ‘no’ side and an even tougher chore for those against fluoride.

WHERE’S THE UNION?: The union representing employees at the water filtration plant had requested time before council to lay out their objections to fluoridation. Union members are especially fearful of the hydrofluorosilicic acid that is added to our water to create fluoride.

The acid is extremely toxic and has left scars on the concrete at the filtration plant where it has, on occasion, accidentally spilled.

The union was told it would not be allowed to address council – likely because the city wants to avoid setting a precedent that would allow other employee groups to make similar pleas if they

feel slighted.

It says here if the union is serious about this, then members need to take their message to the people. Protests and information sessions need to be organized.

And while we’re on the subject of unions and employees, it surprises me that more councillors with an NDP affiliation aren’t stepping up to protect those workers by voting against fluoride.

CHANGING OF THE GUARD: By the time you read this, CAO Norm Levac should be well into his victory lap at city hall.

The likeable Levac, whom Coun. Denis Carr rightly observed to be a most calming influence at 360 Pitt Street, is set to dive head first into a well-deserved retirement that will likely include plenty of fishing and relaxation.

I enjoyed my interactions with Levac and the CAO’s office under his care. He always returned

phone calls, answered all the questions (even the dumb ones) and I always felt as though he was being genuine.

Levac will be succeeded by Maureen Adams, the longtime finance manager who was the odds-on favourite to get the job. There were a couple of others in the running for the position (including a politician from Brockville, and a Cornwall native with a massive resume) but in the end council went with someone who already lives in Cornwall and knows the city.

It’s tough to argue with that decision. I’ve been a strong believer in promoting from within when it comes to high-profile positions on the municipal roster. The learning curve is not as steep, and it sends a message to other employees that they will be considered for advancement.

Best of luck, Maureen.

leading absences from school”. The report adds that the minimal cost of adding fluride to drinking water far outweighs the future costs of restorative dental surgery to children living in areas with no fluoridation.

This comes from an association that in a perverse way should be arguing against flurodation as it removes a money grab from the dentists!

Let’s put this issue to rest - Cornwall resi-

LETTERS Editor: The issue about adding fluoride to city water has sparked much controversy as seen by the numerous letters to the editor by concerned citizens.

I note especially the recent submission by Dave Windsor. His argument no doubt presents a view shared by many of the readers of this newspaper. BUT.....

Let me draw your attention to the argument presented by an important professional association in Ontario in favour of adding fluoride to our drinking water. The Ontario Dental Association (ODA) in a report entitled “Tooth Decay in Ontario’s Children: Ounce of Prevention - a Pound of Cure” states that “dental decay is the most frequent condition suffered by children other than the common cold and is one of the

dents have to take responsibility and accept that the children are an investment in our future and their health should be on prime importance. Fluroridation is the way to go.

HITS A HIGH NOTE Cornwall native Tracey Rivette, a Sherbrooke Elementary School music specialist, hit another high note with her sixth annual production United in Music Festival, which this year brought together 300 students from 10 Eastern Township School Board schools.

The school representatives played and sang a variety of Broadway theme tunes. The curtain came down with all 300 Grade 1 to final high school year performers on stage singing “Let the Sunshine In”, “I’m a Believer” and “We Go Together”. Rivette, who has been teaching for 14 years, told The Sherbrooke Record, which played the festival on its front page, the message to students is that “It’s cool to do music.”“It’s not a competition. It’s an exchange,” she said. Said proud dad and city councillor Andre Rivette, “She loves music and loves teaching.”

TRIVIA On Feb. 15, 1952 Cornwall business and theatres closed for the day and special services were held in several local churches. What was the occasion?

TRIVIA ANSWER John Sandfield Macdonald, first premier of Ontario, is buried in old St. Andrew’s Cemetery. The native of St. Raphael had a law practice in Cornwall.

THIS AND THAT Nice touch. Cornwall Curling Centre senior men’s division made Dave Hickey and Gerry Dobbyn honourary life members. ... Mike Duffy has gone from honourable senator, to disgraced senator, back to honourable senator in a span of 12 months. ... Hey, remember that Liberal senator back in the Chretien days who lived in Mexico for three years

while collecting his salary? Name another sixfigure job where you don’t have to show up for work. ... More Ottawa residents (55) took part in the 2016 Raisin River Canoe Race than from South Glengarry (46). Cornwall led the field with 61. Of the 293 registered for the race, the youngest was 12. Oldest was 69.

HERE AND THERE It has nothing to do with clean living but Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones somehow has outlived a lot of his contemporaries - Elvis, Kurt Cobain, Glenn Frey, Michael Jackson, Jim Morrison, Jimmy Hendrix, David Bowie and most recently, Prince. ... If there is one group which enjoys widespread public support, it is Ontario’s doctors. So why is the provincial government picking a very public fight with them? .... There is a move to have the speed limit on 400 series of highways bumped up by 10 clicks. Why not? The current limit is just a suggestion. Ever try sticking to the posted limit? It’s like standing still. ... Five straight traffic lights on Second Street East and five straight red lights, with no cars in front.

SPORTS STUFF Another gathering of the old sweats last week. This one was a tribute to former St. Lawrence High School footballer Barry Doyle who will be inducted into the Cornwall Sports Hall of Fame in August. A great collection of former local high school football talent was on hand. Players such as Moe Racine, Doug Billing, John Billing, Andy Petepiece, Reg Patenaude, George Legrue, Gerry Tanker Lalonde, John Chisholm, Wayne Ball, Red Carriere and Ron Barrie, along with former Saints’ football and basketball coach Dave Courville.

When country singing legend Johnny Cash arrived at the less-than-three-month-old Cornwall Civic Complex on Jan. 26, 1977 to play before a long-before sold-out crowd, he figured the safest place to keep the $2,000 (US) he was carrying was the complex vault.

No problem, said the complex manager. Just pick up the money after the show.

But a funny thing happened when the vault was unlocked after the show.

The manila envelope containing Cash’s $2,000 (US) was gone. Vanished. So was another $3,000 belonging to the city.

How in Hades does $5,000 in cash leave a locked vault? Did somebody know Cash’s money was put in the vault, or was it just luck? Police believed it was luck, that the theft had been planned days before, perhaps believing that a large chunk of pre-sold ticket money - around $50,000 - was in the vault.

The police theory was that the thief or thieves crawled through the vault’s ventilation system. It would have taken someone with knowledge of the system.

The money was never recovered. Nobody was ever charged with the theft, although an alleged conspirator was convicted and received jail time. If he did know the identity of the mastermind(s) behind the theft, he wasn’t talking. Never did.

It was just one in a series of weird events during the early days of the facility, that started with city hall promising taxpayers that the complex

would never lose money. Missed that one by about $15 million.

During construction a trailer-load of steel parked behind the site on a long weekend went missing. The police investigation hit a wall and slipped into the cold case file.

The fall 1976 opening festivities included a water follies show. One of the performers, a former world-class Australian diver, was beaten up in the early morning after a party said to have been held in the upstairs VIP room. The room had become some sort of private after hours club.

The complex restaurant and its seafood buffet was a hugely popular spot. Incredibly, on one of its many busy nights, a Saturday, when folks lined up to get in the place, the cash register with most of the evening’s receipts disappeared. It was never found. Again, a police investigation hit the wall.

In October 1979, the $25,000-a-year manager, weary of criticism over the mounting deficit, turned in his resignation, effective Oct. 12. A few days later he asked for a two-month extension.

The CAO recommended the extension be granted. Council, in a 6-4 vote, said no. The CAO then proposed hiring the manager as an operational consultant until a replacement was found. Again, council said no.

It wasn’t all bad. Weeks after the building opened, on Dec. 11, 1976, the Harlem Globetrotters drew a sold-out crowd of 5,500.

And when singer Charlie Pride sold-out an evening show, an afternoon show was booked. It also sold out. The Irish Rovers drew a crowd of 4,000 and the next night 3,000 seats were filled

Le film a été tourné dans un contexte différent qu’à l’habitude, lui qui a fait appel à un acteur professionnel, Vincent Lindon, mais aussi à une brochette d’acteurs non-professionnels, qui campent généralement un rôle qui leur est connu, soit le métier qu’ils exercent réellement dans la vraie vie, de la banquière à l’agent de sécurité. «Et Vincent a cette capacité d’être dans l’instant avec eux», encense-t-il.

grandes réalisations de l’organisme, une fête champêtre réunissant les fondateurs, les bâtisseurs, les familles, les clients et le personnel est prévue. Repas « ferme à la table », divertissement, animation et coquetel unique seront au cœur de la fête.

Pour nous aider dans nos efforts, nous vous invitons à participer aux deux activités.

Intégration communautaire bénéficierait grandement de votre présence et de votre soutien.

Votre appui contribuerait au succès des évènements et nous aiderait à remercier toutes celles et tous ceux qui ont travaillé pour qu’Intégration communautaire devienne un chef de file dans le domaine de l’administration des services aux personnes ayant un déficit intellectuel à Glengarry.

Déjà, le Mouvement Desjardins s’est associé aux activités du 50e anniversaire de l’agence avec une importante contribution. Nous avons également reçu l’appui de la municipalité de Glengarry Nord et d’Inter Sport Hawkesbury.

L’année 2016 marque le cinquantième anniversaire d’Intégration communautaire Glengarry.

Cette étape remarquable concrétise les objectifs et la vision de l’agence et couronne plusieurs années de travail. Ce jalon est important pour la communauté, les clients, les familles et le personnel. Sous le thème « Prolonger nos racines vers l’avenir », Intégration communautaire organise deux grandes activités pour célébrer ses 50 ans.

La première, qui aura lieu le samedi 17 septembre 2016, est une course de 1km et de 5km dans les rues d’Alexandria. La course commUNITÉ vise à rallier la communauté et amasser des fonds pour Intégration communautaire. En souhaitant que l’évènement devienne un rendez-vous annuel pour les coureurs de la région, le comité organisateur de la course déploie tous les efforts pour en assurer son succès, sa croissance et sa continuité. Cet automne, on court pour une bonne cause à Alexandria!

La deuxième activité aura lieu le samedi 15 octobre 2016 à Maxville. Afin de célébrer les

Pour ce film, gagnant de plusieurs prix, notamment un prestigieux trophée à Cannes pour Vincent Lindon qui incarne Thierry, Stéphane Brizé a voulu aller dans une histoire avec bien sûr un enjeu dramaturgique, mais aussi une touche de réalité. «Mon objectif à chaque film et depuis le départ, c’est de capter des instants de vérité de la manière la plus vraie possible», explique le réalisateur au bout du fil, de la France.

Avec ce long- métrage, il souhaite donc s’approcher encore plus de ce réalisme qui le touche à tout coup. «Ça me permet de nous

d’un travail X ou Y, qui nous confronte à nos valeurs morales.

Le réalisateur Stéphane Brizé l’admet. Il est difficile de ne pas se sentir interpeller par le sujet dans l’actualité, «parce qu’on en parle tous les jours.» «Il y a une forme d’écœurement de voir le mouvement du monde qui va dans un sens tragique», déplore-t-il.

En transformant ces données du chômage en une fiction réaliste, le réalisateur a voulu amener de l’humain dans tout cela. «L’idée était de transformer les chiffres du chômage, raconte-t-il. (…) Je voulais mettre une image, un corps et une histoire sur un chiffre.»

Le film a eu un gros succès en France, dit-il humblement, ce qui a amené les discussions sur certaines tribunes, sur la question du chômage. «Il faut un film de fiction pour mettre en lumière quelque chose qu’on évoque tous les jours, c’est tragique», lance-t-il.

Fiction réelle Malgré qu’il s’agisse de fiction, bien des scènes ou des situations proviennent de situations réelles racontées au réalisateur. À la banque, à Pôle emploi (établissement consacré à l’emploi en France) ou à l’hypermarché. «Pour créer du réel, il

ACTUALITÉS

Les clubs canadiens en quête d’un premier gain l n’y a pas qu’au hockey où les équipes canadiennes éprouvent des difficultés. Au soccer de la Ligue nord-américaine de soccer (NASL) aussi.

Contrairement à la ligue du commissaire CARL HAWORTH Gary Bettman qui comprend six clubs, seulement deux au Canada évoluent dans la deuxième division sur le continent: le FC Edmonton et le Fury d’Ottawa.

Ces deux rivaux occupent respectivement le 10e et 11e échelon au classement, soit les deux dernières positions. Ils ont le même

nombre de points: un seul. Et ont le même problème: incapable de s’acheter des buts. Ils s’affronteront aujourd’hui en sol albertain.

«C’est un match vraiment important pour les deux équipes. On veut créer du momentum, que le vent change de bord pour construire sur une base pour notre match d’ouverture local la semaine prochaine», a mentionné Carl Haworth.

Le natif de Toronto souhaite voir ses coéquipiers et lui décrocher une première victoire.

Le calendrier est loin d’être favorable: les quatre premières rencontres sur la route, loin de leurs partisans. Et le pire: débuter la campagne avec le Cosmos de New York, sûrement l’équipe la plus forte sur papier, affirme Haworth.

Mais il ne faut sonner l’alarme.

«L’an dernier, on a connu un lent départ.

C’était environ le même scénario. Après cinq matchs, ça n’allait pas trop bien pour nous, mais on a changé quelques aspects de notre jeu. À la fin, on s’est rendu jusqu’au Soccer Bowl.»

Après trois parties, le Fury de Paul Dalglish peut remercier Idan Vered de lui éviter l’humiliation. L’attaquant israélien a marqué l’unique but de son club. Dans le clan des Eddies, on l’attend toujours ce fameux premier but.

Et ils ont passé bien près de l’avoir. La semaine dernière contre les Rowdies de Tampa Bay, Tomi Ameobi a vu son pénalty être stoppé par Matt Pickens sur la dernière action du match.

Chez le Fury, on veut remédier à la situation et vite. À l’entraînement, on a passé plusieurs séances sur la transition et opté pour différentes options, dont possiblement une nouvelle formation comme un 3-5-2.

Une victoire serait l’idéale, tout juste avant l’amorce de la saison locale à la Place TD. Et qui plus est, contre son rival depuis deux ans.

«On est les seuls clubs canadiens. Les amateurs à l’est d’Edmonton nous supportent et à l’ouest sont derrière Edmonton. C’est une grosse rivalité dans la Ligue. On s’affronte cinq fois par année avec le championnat canadien.

La rivalité s’amplifie depuis deux ans», a lancé l’un des rares à être demeurés avec le Fury au changement de garde.

Il aurait pu partir comme plusieurs, mais après avoir discuté avec Dalglish, il a décidé de continuer. Surtout qu’il s’est attaché à la capi-

tale canadienne.

«J’ai un sentiment d’appartenance avec Ottawa. C’est une deuxième maison pour moi.

J’ai commencé avec le Fury un an avant que ça fasse le saut dans la NASL. J’aime la ville et les fans qui nous soutiennent depuis les tout-débuts.»

Le petit ailier canadien n’a obtenu qu’un seul départ (contre les RailHawks de la Caroline). Il avait été forcé de rater les premiers matchs, lui qui se recouvrait d’une blessure au genou droit, survenue durant le camp d’entraînement dans un match amical.

«Je courrais et j’ai tenté un changement de direction. Mon pied est resté pris, mon corps a tourné. J’ai pris du repos, manqué le premier match, mais là, je suis correct. Je peux jouer, je me sens bien.» À son premier match officiel, il a créé une occasion, en plus de distribuer les ballons à Idan Vered et Paulo Junior. Employé dans l’axe, Haworth se dit à l’aise à cette position, lui qui y a évolué lors de ses années universitaires et même avant.

Le numéro 17 de l’écurie aux couleurs noire et rouge espère maintenant remplir les fonds du filet. Sous l’ère de Marc Dos Santos, il a cumulé quatre buts en 54 apparitions. Avec le système offensif de Paul Dalglish, il se voit donner un coup de main plus significatif.

«Avec Marc, les ailiers étaient utilisés plus défensivement et on jouait sur la contreattaque. Avec Paul, c’est un jeu plus agressif, on joue plus avec la possession et on met de la pression sur les défenseurs. C’est un système, qui en théorie, me convient plus», conclut-il.

GOLF Le golf étant de plus en plus populaire, les terrains sont souvent bondés de monde. En général, une partie de golf devrait se jouer en dedans de 4 h 30, malheureusement on en voit de plus en plus qui se terminent après cinq heures de jeu. C’est beaucoup trop long. Dans l’intérêt de tous, les golfeurs devraient jouer sans délai. Voici quelques façons de suivre la cadence.

Le premier groupe prenant le départ le matin est celui qui détermine la vitesse du jeu

pour la journée. Normalement, on accorde une moyenne de 15 minutes par trou; vous devriez donc avoir complété le premier neuf trous en 2 h 15 min, et les 18 trous en 4 h 30 min. Les groupes qui suivent doivent s’assurer de maintenir le pas. Ce n’est pas une raison de ralentir le pas, si le groupe derrière vous ne suit pas. Vous devez suivre le groupe qui vous précède.

Lorsque vous arrivez près du vert, ne laissez pas votre sac ou votre voiture devant.

Placez-les près de la sortie du vert, en direction du prochain trou. Lorsque vous aurez complété le trou, vous vous dirigerez immédiatement au trou suivant, sans revenir sur vos pas inutilement. Vous inscrirez les pointages sur le départ suivant, afin que le groupe qui vous suit puisse à son tour compléter le trou.

Pendant qu’un de vos partenaires s’exécute, analysez votre coup. Vous serez alors prêt lorsque ce sera à vous de jouer.

Même chose sur le vert, vous pouvez analyser

votre coup roulé pendant que votre partenaire effectue le sien. Vérifiez si votre coup roulé monte ou descend, s’il y a une pente vers la droite ou vers la gauche. Assurez-vous cependant de ne pas être dans son champ de vision et de ne pas bouger pendant l’exécution de son coup.

N’oubliez pas que vous n’êtes pas seul sur le terrain et qu’une ronde de golf est agréable lorsqu’elle se joue dans un laps de temps raisonnable.

Approach shots make all the difference

Getting to the green on par (one shot for a par 3, two for a par 4, and three for a par 5) is not an easy thing to achieve for the average golfer. Even the best professional players manage to maintain a 70 percent success rate with difficulty. That is why it is so important to get good results from your approach shots.

Any expert will tell you that the game around the green is one of the most important, if not the most important element of your golf game. Wellexecuted approach shots can help you play on par or reduce your score by the end of the round.

In a radius of 25 to 35 metres from the green, the choice of club should take into account the presence or absence of obstacles, the slope of

the green, and the position of the flag.

If your ball is positioned right behind a sand trap you will have to lob the ball and limit its roll.

A pitching wedge or sand wedge would be appropriate for this type of shot. The fluidity of the swing and the position (a little closer to the ball with a swinging movement) are the two elements needed for a successful shot. Before hitting the ball, be sure to visualize the spot where you want the ball to land. If no obstacle is present, use the club which you are most comfortable with. Near the green, a short swing with a 4 or 5 iron will enable you to roll the ball near the target. An approach shot requires lots of concentration.

Des Grands Lacs, un grand fleuve

Nouvelles du Plan d’assainissement du Saint-Laurent

Travailler ensemble pour protéger le fleuve

Le passé industriel de Cornwall se cache tout juste sous la surface

Le Saint-Laurent, dont le nom en langue mohawk signifie « grande rivière », est l’un des plus longs fleuves du monde. Au fil des ans, de nombreux stresseurs environnementaux, dont la pollution industrielle, les eaux pluviales, les eaux de ruissellement des terres agricoles, la circulation maritime et les projets de développement de grande échelle, ont laissé leur marque sur cette voie de navigation internationale.

En 1984, la Commission mixte internationale a inscrit Cornwall sur la liste des secteurs préoccupants.

Depuis, des travaux de recherche importants ont été effectués et des efforts de restauration considérables ont été déployés à l’échelle locale afin de cerner et de résoudre les principaux problèmes. Ces travaux et efforts ont porté fruit et nous commençons à voir une certaine amélioration. Toutefois, de nouvelles inquiétudes se font jour sans cesse. Les déversements

C’est seulement depuis quelques décennies que les déchets industriels ne sont pas rejetés directement dans le fleuve Saint Laurent. Ces contaminants se sont déposés et accumulés en fortes concentrations dans les sédiments près du secteur riverain de Cornwall.

Le principal contaminant présent dans les sédiments est le mercure, une substance toxique qui demeure dans l’environnement fluvial pendant de nombreuses années. Avec la fermeture de plusieurs usines et l’adoption de règlements environnementaux plus rigoureux, des sédiments plus propres ont commencé à se déposer tranquillement sur les zones contaminées, créant ainsi une couche protectrice naturelle.

Pour gérer les zones de contamination, des contrôles administratifs ont été établis dans la Stratégie de gestion des sédiments de Cornwall.

Ces contrôles permettent de s’assurer que les dépôts de sédiments contaminés situés dans trois zones du secteur riverain de Cornwall soient laissés sur place et ne soient pas perturbés, afin qu’un processus naturel de rétablissement se produise au fil du temps. À l’heure actuelle, les sédiments contaminés dans le passé, qui se trouvent dans ces zones, sont stables et recouverts d’une couche de sédiments plus propres et ne présentent donc pas un risque écologique important. Cependant, tout projet de développement qui nécessite du dragage, du remplissage, du recouvrement, de l’empilage ou du creusage aurait le potentiel de perturber, d’exposer ou de remettre en suspension ces sédiments plus contaminés situés en profondeur.

C’est pourquoi les partenaires dans la protection à long terme se sont

en milieu marin, les espèces envahissantes, les microplastiques, les infrastructures de traitement des eaux usées défaillantes, les produits chimiques, les eaux pluviales, les changements climatiques ainsi que les produits pharmaceutiques posent de nouveaux problèmes.

Un nouveau groupe international basé à Cornwall, le Réseau de protection du Haut Saint-Laurent, rassemble les organismes, agences et particuliers qui s’investissent dans la protection de ce grand fleuve afin que les générations à venir puissent continuer à profiter d’une eau propre à la consommation, à la pêche et à la baignade. Les projets pour 2016 comprennent notamment plusieurs corvées de nettoyage des berges du Saint Laurent, des forums d’information sur le fleuve et des formations de bénévoles Sentinelle, à l’échelle de la collectivité.

Pour plus de renseignements, communiquez avec la coordonnatrice du Plan d’assainissement du Saint Laurent, Karen Cooper, à l’Institut des sciences environnementales du fleuve Saint-Laurent au 613936-6620 (poste 229) ou à kcooper@riverinstitute.ca.

engagés à collaborer pour protéger ces zones sensibles dans le secteur riverain de Cornwall.

Pour protéger l’environnement, les partenaires ont développé une série de contrôles visant à prévenir toute perturbation de la couche protectrice naturelle qui s’est déposée sur les sédiments contaminés. En vertu de ces contrôles, la construction d’un nouveau quai ou la modification d’un quai existant doit être approuvée avant les travaux. L’Office de protection de la nature de la région Raisin (OPNRR) est responsable de l’approbation et le fait gratuitement. Il est permis d’apporter des modifications mineures à la taille, à la conception ou à la méthode de construction des quais avant leur installation.

Il est également important de présenter des documents sur les quais installés après 2005. Les propriétaires qui ont déjà installé un quai doivent remplir un questionnaire sur sa conception et fournir d’autres renseignements de base.

Cette collaboration de la part des résidents du secteur riverain de Cornwall aide à protéger la santé du fleuve.

Les Grands Lacs jouent un rôle important dans la vie des Ontariens. L’Ontario possède 10 000 kilomètres de rives le long des Grands Lacs et du fleuve Saint Laurent, ce qui représente le plus long rivage d’eau douce au monde.

Les Grands Lacs contiennent près de 20 pour cent des réserves d’eaux douces de surface de la planète et sont utilisés comme principale source d’eau potable, d’activités récréatives et d’électricité par de nombreuses collectivités.

Depuis 2007, l’Ontario a investi plus de 140 millions de dollars dans 1 000 projets de protection des Grands Lacs qui ont permis de réduire de façon dramatique les polluants les plus dangereux et de restaurer certaines des zones les plus contaminées. Des centaines de partenaires et de groupes communautaires ont participé à ces efforts de protection et de rétablissement de la santé des Grands Lacs.

En 2012, le Province de l’Ontario a publié sa stratégie pour les Grands Lacs qui définit comment le gouvernement de la province appuiera une vision des Grands Lacs en santé afin qu’ils demeurent une source d’eau propre à la consommation, à la baignade et à la pêche et dans laquelle il s’engage à présenter un rapport d’étape après trois ans. En mars 2016, la Province a publié son premier rapport d’étape qui présente quelques unes des principales réalisations ainsi que de nouveaux résultats scientifiques obtenus pendant les trois premières années de l’application de la Stratégie ontarienne pour les Grands Lacs. Vous pouvez consulter la Stratégie à l’adresse suivante : https://www.ontario.ca/fr/ page/rapport-detape-2016-sur-la-strategie-ontarienne-pour-

les-grands-lacs.

La Loi sur la protection des Grands Lacs de l’Ontario a été adoptée en novembre 2015. Elle reflète les objectifs et les principes de la Stratégie ontarienne pour les Grands Lacs et établit des exigences détaillées en matière de contenu de la Stratégie, de production de rapports et d’examen.

Cette loi est conçue pour aider à relever les défis importants en matière d’environnement auxquels fait face le bassin des Grands Lacs et du fleuve Saint Laurent, notamment un climat en évolution. Elle fixe certaines priorités initiales qui demandent des mesures immédiates, par exemple la réduction de la prolifération d’algues nuisibles et habilite des entités publiques à déterminer des mesures et à les cibler en fonction de problèmes prioritaires et de zones géographiques. Elle fournit également de nouveaux outils, dont une tribune pour améliorer la collaboration entre les partenaires des Grands Lacs de l’Ontario, et confère le pouvoir de fixer des buts et d’élaborer des plans d’action.

Les initiatives axées sur une zone géographique permettront aux collectivités et aux gouvernements de se concentrer sur les mesures à prendre pour résoudre des problèmes locaux et régionaux et d’établir ou de maintenir des programmes de surveillance relativement à des enjeux écologiques clés.

L’Ontario prend des mesures pour protéger les Grands Lacs et le fleuve Saint Laurent

Sans les pollinisateurs, la plupart des aliments que nous mangeons et les champs de fleurs et les arbres qui nous plaisent tant n’existeraient pas. La pollinisation a une valeur écologique en lien avec : la nourriture et les abris pour la faune et les humains; les combustibles et la biomasse; la modération de la température; et la production d’oxygène. L’activité économique dépendant des pollinisateurs représente environ 992 millions de dollars annuellement pour l’économie de l’Ontario. Le déclin des pollinisateurs est un problème grave qui nécessite des mesures immédiates afin d’assurer la protection du système alimentaire et du milieu naturel de l’Ontario. C’est pourquoi dans un effort d’amélioration de la santé des abeilles et des autres pollinisateurs, la Province de l’Ontario a adopté une nouvelle stratégie sur la santé des pollinisateurs qui comporte trois volets : une réglementation des pesticides, une aide financière aux apiculteurs et un plan d’action. En mettant ces volets en œuvre, la Province est convaincue qu’elle peut s’approcher d’une réduction de 80 % d’ici 2017 dans la plantation de semences de maïs et de soja traitées aux néonicotinoïdes et d’un taux de mortalité hivernale des abeilles de 15 % d’ici 2020. Un nouveau règlement sur les pesticides qui restreint l’utilisation de semences de maïs et de soja traitées avec des néonicotinoïdes a été adopté en 2015 ainsi qu’un régime d’assurance autosuffisant permanent. Plus tôt cette année, la Province a présenté son ébauche de plan d’action pour la santé des pollinisateurs.

Une des composantes de ce plan prévoit la protection et la restauration des habitats des pollinisateurs, puisque la perte d’habitats est considérée comme un facteur important contribuant au déclin des abeilles sauvages et fort probablement à celui de tous les pollinisateurs. La présence d’habitats mixtes et contenant divers types de pollen sur les terres agricoles à proximité de cultures dépendantes des pollinisateurs (p. ex. des bandes tampons et des lignes d’arbres) ou dans des champs cultivés (p. ex. des jachères florales) peut améliorer la pollinisation et potentiellement accroître les récoltes de certains produits de base. La création de ces bandes n’exige pas nécessairement de mettre fin à des cultures sur des terres productives. Les renseignements sur les pollinisateurs de l’Ontario sont essentiels pour le secteur agricole de la province

Cependant, tout projet de développement qui nécessite du dragage, du remplissage, du recouvrement, de l’empilage ou du creusage aurait le potentiel de perturber, d’exposer ou de remettre en suspension ces sédiments plus contaminés situés en profondeur.

C’est pourquoi les partenaires dans la protection à long terme se sont

en milieu marin, les espèces envahissantes, les microplastiques, les infrastructures de traitement des eaux usées défaillantes, les produits chimiques, les eaux pluviales, les changements climatiques ainsi que les produits pharmaceutiques posent de nouveaux problèmes.

Un nouveau groupe international basé à Cornwall, le Réseau de protection du Haut Saint-Laurent, rassemble les organismes, agences et particuliers qui s’investissent dans la protection de ce grand fleuve afin que les générations à venir puissent continuer à profiter d’une eau propre à la consommation, à la pêche et à la baignade. Les projets pour 2016 comprennent notamment plusieurs corvées de nettoyage des berges du Saint Laurent, des forums d’information sur le fleuve et des formations de bénévoles Sentinelle, à l’échelle de la collectivité.

Pour plus de renseignements, communiquez avec la coordonnatrice du Plan d’assainissement du Saint Laurent, Karen Cooper, à l’Institut des sciences environnementales du fleuve Saint-Laurent au 613936-6620 (poste 229) ou à kcooper@riverinstitute.ca.

engagés à collaborer pour protéger ces zones sensibles dans le secteur riverain de Cornwall.

Pour protéger l’environnement, les partenaires ont développé une série de contrôles visant à prévenir toute perturbation de la couche protectrice naturelle qui s’est déposée sur les sédiments contaminés. En vertu de ces contrôles, la construction d’un nouveau quai ou la modification d’un quai existant doit être approuvée avant les travaux. L’Office de protection de la nature de la région Raisin (OPNRR) est responsable de l’approbation et le fait gratuitement. Il est permis d’apporter des modifications mineures à la taille, à la conception ou à la méthode de construction des quais avant leur installation.

Il est également important de présenter des documents sur les quais installés après 2005. Les propriétaires qui ont déjà installé un quai doivent remplir un questionnaire sur sa conception et fournir d’autres renseignements de base.

Cette collaboration de la part des résidents du secteur riverain de Cornwall aide à protéger la santé du fleuve.

Les Grands Lacs jouent un rôle important dans la vie des Ontariens. L’Ontario possède 10 000 kilomètres de rives le long des Grands Lacs et du fleuve Saint Laurent, ce qui représente le plus long rivage d’eau douce au monde.

Les Grands Lacs contiennent près de 20 pour cent des réserves d’eaux douces de surface de la planète et sont utilisés comme principale source d’eau potable, d’activités récréatives et d’électricité par de nombreuses collectivités.

Depuis 2007, l’Ontario a investi plus de 140 millions de dollars dans 1 000 projets de protection des Grands Lacs qui ont permis de réduire de façon dramatique les polluants les plus dangereux et de restaurer certaines des zones les plus contaminées. Des centaines de partenaires et de groupes communautaires ont participé à ces efforts de protection et de rétablissement de la santé des Grands Lacs.

En 2012, le Province de l’Ontario a publié sa stratégie pour les Grands Lacs qui définit comment le gouvernement de la province appuiera une vision des Grands Lacs en santé afin qu’ils demeurent une source d’eau propre à la consommation, à la baignade et à la pêche et dans laquelle il s’engage à présenter un rapport d’étape après trois ans. En mars 2016, la Province a publié son premier rapport d’étape qui présente quelques unes des principales réalisations ainsi que de nouveaux résultats scientifiques obtenus pendant les trois premières années de l’application de la Stratégie ontarienne pour les Grands Lacs. Vous pouvez consulter la Stratégie à l’adresse suivante : https://www.ontario.ca/fr/ page/rapport-detape-2016-sur-la-strategie-ontarienne-pour-

les-grands-lacs.

La Loi sur la protection des Grands Lacs de l’Ontario a été adoptée en novembre 2015. Elle reflète les objectifs et les principes de la Stratégie ontarienne pour les Grands Lacs et établit des exigences détaillées en matière de contenu de la Stratégie, de production de rapports et d’examen.

Cette loi est conçue pour aider à relever les défis importants en matière d’environnement auxquels fait face le bassin des Grands Lacs et du fleuve Saint Laurent, notamment un climat en évolution. Elle fixe certaines priorités initiales qui demandent des mesures immédiates, par exemple la réduction de la prolifération d’algues nuisibles et habilite des entités publiques à déterminer des mesures et à les cibler en fonction de problèmes prioritaires et de zones géographiques. Elle fournit également de nouveaux outils, dont une tribune pour améliorer la collaboration entre les partenaires des Grands Lacs de l’Ontario, et confère le pouvoir de fixer des buts et d’élaborer des plans d’action.

Les initiatives axées sur une zone géographique permettront aux collectivités et aux gouvernements de se concentrer sur les mesures à prendre pour résoudre des problèmes locaux et régionaux et d’établir ou de maintenir des programmes de surveillance relativement à des enjeux écologiques clés.

DIMANCHE 1er MAI • Cooper Marsh Spring Fling @ Marais Cooper (14 h à 16 h) www.rrca.on.ca

L’Ontario prend des mesures pour protéger les Grands Lacs et le fleuve Saint Laurent

Sans les pollinisateurs, la plupart des aliments que nous mangeons et les champs de fleurs et les arbres qui nous plaisent tant n’existeraient pas. La pollinisation a une valeur écologique en lien avec : la nourriture et les abris pour la faune et les humains; les combustibles et la biomasse; la modération de la température; et la production d’oxygène. L’activité économique dépendant des pollinisateurs représente environ 992 millions de dollars annuellement pour l’économie de l’Ontario. Le déclin des pollinisateurs est un problème grave qui nécessite des mesures immédiates afin d’assurer la protection du système alimentaire et du milieu naturel de l’Ontario. C’est pourquoi dans un effort d’amélioration de la santé des abeilles et des autres pollinisateurs, la Province de l’Ontario a adopté une nouvelle stratégie sur la santé des pollinisateurs qui comporte trois volets : une réglementation des pesticides, une aide financière aux apiculteurs et un plan d’action. En mettant ces volets en œuvre, la Province est convaincue qu’elle peut s’approcher d’une réduction de 80 % d’ici 2017 dans la plantation de semences de maïs et de soja traitées aux néonicotinoïdes et d’un taux de mortalité hivernale des abeilles de 15 % d’ici 2020. Un nouveau règlement sur les pesticides qui restreint l’utilisation de semences de maïs et de soja traitées avec des néonicotinoïdes a été adopté en 2015 ainsi qu’un régime d’assurance autosuffisant permanent. Plus tôt cette année, la Province a présenté son ébauche de plan d’action pour la santé des pollinisateurs.

Une des composantes de ce plan prévoit la protection et la restauration des habitats des pollinisateurs, puisque la perte d’habitats est considérée comme un facteur important contribuant au déclin des abeilles sauvages et fort probablement à celui de tous les pollinisateurs. La présence d’habitats mixtes et contenant divers types de pollen sur les terres agricoles à proximité de cultures dépendantes des pollinisateurs (p. ex. des bandes tampons et des lignes d’arbres) ou dans des champs cultivés (p. ex. des jachères florales) peut améliorer la pollinisation et potentiellement accroître les récoltes de certains produits de base. La création de ces bandes n’exige pas nécessairement de mettre fin à des cultures sur des terres productives. Les renseignements sur les pollinisateurs de l’Ontario sont essentiels pour le secteur agricole de la province

ENTERTAINMENT

Taking care of business... show business, that is ROXANNE DELAGE CORNWALL, Ontario - Like many of us who have made our passion for music a life-long pursuit, for Davey Bedard, it started at home, at a very young age.

“I started singing at around nine, said Bedard.

“My mom was a singer, in the day, she played guitar and played the local venues. She was always singing.”

He remembers fondly one of his first performances, as part of the Kinsmen Music Festival.

Since then, he has had his hand in a variety of bands and genres from R&B, to Hip Hop, to Rock, and is presently working on a new project with long-time friend and business partner, Jason Mitchell.

“We’re putting together a new group, a new style of music; a cross between Coldplay meets Linkin Park, all-live band, with some rap, melding the two styles.”

Calling themselves, Right Hemisphere, they

are hoping to get it out by the end of the year.

When he’s not creating his own music, or producing other’s, in his recording studio, Bedard, along with Mitchell, operates Limelight Entertainment talent booking agency, for area acts and venues.

The two have been responsible for the lineups at local festivals and events, in the past, such as Winterfest, Lift-Off and Beerfest, as well as clubs, for a number of years.

Community minded, Bedard has lent his time and talent to many great charitable causes, throughout the years, even throwing his hat into the political ring, during the last municipal elections, his primary focus being arts.

Although he didn’t get a seat at the council table, this time, he does not discount another attempt, next time around.

Until then, he continues to lobby in support of arts and culture in the city, and the everpresent conversation regarding an arts centre.

‘La Poutine Week’ hits Cornwall ADAM BRAZEAU adam.brazeau@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ont. – Are you a fan of french fries swimming in gravy and smothered in cheese curds? If you’re a Cornwallite, we already know the answer.

The Seaway Food Festival is proud to announce ‘La Poutine Week’ will take place across the city from Tuesday (May 24) to Saturday (May 28).

In four short years, the five-day event has

become one of the most successful poutine celebrations in the world.

“This is truly exciting for us to be able to bring such an appetizing and engaging event to our community,” said Sebastien Manigat, of Bastion Hospitality. “By far we will be the smallest municipality to partake in this festival, but what the success of Summer Beer Fest and Seaway Food Festival has shown us is: we have a very broad, unique, and supportive foodie culture. For example, this spring we had the most successful Restaurant Week ever with over 2,500 meals sold.”

Although an important issue, he says, in the meantime we should consider what’s going on right now, downtown.

“Everyone is always talking about arts and culture in our community and how we need an arts center. We need to recognize that there is an arts district already here in Cornwall, and it’s basically located down Pitt Street, between 3rd Street and Water Street.”

Bedard rhymes off the names of a number of arts-based businesses which now line that corridor.

“Think about it: Limelight Music and Arts Academy, BCDC, Framed Photography, TAG, Cornwall Dance School, OBO (art studio), Elegance School, Skin Within and Old Tyme Tattoos, Pure, Andre Pommier (custom jewelry), and over 10 restaurants (and a) bakery (culinary arts).”

He says that it’s time to recognize this about our city and that the area should be designated

the ‘Cornwall Art District.’

Bedard acknowledges the importance of a centre, but before that can happen, he says that “artists must get together, to be taken seriously.”

For further information about his music, or about joining the Limelight talent roster, visit www.daveybedard.com, or www.limelightmusic.ca.

David Petrynka, owner and chef at Eight Zero Zero in Cornwall, Ont., invites you to the Seaway Food Festival’s ‘La Poutine Week’ from May 24-28 – the city’s first-ever dedicated celebration of the Canadian dish.

Adam Brazeau

26 - Thursday, April 28, 2016 - Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

Saturday, May 7, 2016 - 8pm The concept is pretty simple: local selected restaurants develop special poutine dishes and customers vote for their favourite one.

Discover a new taste or reconnect with an old favourite at Deke & Squeaks Bar and Grill, Winner’s Sports Bar, Truffles Burger Bar, Chef On A Bun, Sheep’s Head Bistro, Jet Set Pub, Bar Q, Rod’s Fry Shack, Schnitzels, and Eight Zero Zero Resto Lounge. The complete list of participants will be announced in May. Seaway Food Festival judges will also hand out awards for the ‘Best Poutine’ and the ‘Most Creative Poutine’.

Manigat, festival director, said coming up with a distinct, tasty, creative, and unique poutine is not a small feat, but it’s that kind of challenge that drives this event.

“The wheels in my head have been churning for days now,” said Ahmad Mansorifard, owner and chef at Truffles. “We’re having a lot of fun with this and we are certain Cornwall will have a lot of fun with it, too.”

Restaurants who are interested in participating are asked to contact info@bastionhospitality.ca.

on after suffering such a resounding rejection is unclear.

Alberta’s NDP Premier Rachel Notley is not in favour of the Leap Manifest, a far reaching proposal to reject new energy projects.

Notley made history when she wiped out the Conservatives in her province’s last provincial election.

But, since coming to power, Alberta’s economy has declined because of the falling oil prices.

Alberta’s project deficit is going to be close to Canada’s deficit.

The NDP has to come up with a new strategy and stick to it.

Trudeau’s family name, good looks and youth did the trick.

Mulcair made several errors and took full responsibility for the dismal showing at the polls.

The NDP leader was shocked but did not show it when he secured only 48 per cent support.

Alberta had more than 800 delegates at the convention.

Most of them were not impressed with the current leader’s shaky stand on oil sands and building pipelines to survive.

The once mighty Alberta is suffering economically.

Why the NDP decided that Mulcair can stay

6697898

Since the last federal election, Canada’s political landscape has completely changed.

The Liberal Party of Canada, under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, continues to forge ahead and enjoys the sunshine honeymoon.

The Conservatives will not choose a new leader until late 2017.

Meanwhile, the New Democratic Party is publicly showing wide rifts.

It initially seemed like the current leader Thomas Mulcair would survive the leadership review at the national convention in Edmonton.

However, Mulcair suffered a humiliating

defeat.

It is even more surprising he agreed to stay on for two years until the NDP selects a new leader.

One would have expected Mulcair would set aside and the NDP would select an interim leader to rebuild the divided socialist party.

The New Democrats have a long wait to decide who will lead them into the next election against Trudeau.

Before last fall’s election, it seemed Mulcair, then the leader of the Official Opposition, had a slight chance to lead the country.

All that changed suddenly as Canadians decided they needed a change and would prefer a new and untested leader.

RACHEL’S KIDS: ‘Small Moments of Joy’ donation a real game-changer for Cornwall teen battling leukemia Adam Brazeau adam.brazeau@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ont. – If there’s one thing Sean Cowan sees a lot of, it’s his bedroom.

So Rachel’s Kids made it a gamer’s paradise for the local teen.

As Cowan battles luekemia, the 13-year-old splits his time between the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Ronald MacDonald House, and home.

Cowan will have at least another few years of taking oral chemotherapy treatments and is currently undergoing monthly chemo at CHEO. He is trying to recover and stay strong “one day at a time.”

Rachel’s Kids, a Cornwall-based international charity, first reached out to Cowan after hearing about his ‘Yellow Kisses for Sean’ campaign in early 2015. The campaign’s goal: convince Hershey Canada to make a yellow-wrapped ‘Kiss’ to be sold at fundraisers in honour of Cowan, and other youth suffering from diseases. The company rejected the sweet idea.

After waiting over a year, Cowan decided to request a wish via the Rachel’s Kids’‘Small Moments of Joy’ program.

“I didn’t need anything at the time,” he said.

Most recently, the program has provided local

children in need with a family vacation to Disneyland and a swimming pool.

Cowan’s options teetered on limitless. But he takes his love of video gaming more seriously than others, so Dr. Rachel Navaneelan, charity founder, and Kim Lauzon, executive director of Rachel’s Kids, hand-delivered a flat screen TV (with wall mount), PS4, controller, headset, and a slew of other gaming accessories.

“Thank you so much,”said Cowan as he hugged Navaneelan.

The generosity also extended to his older sibling, Liam. The 16-year-old received a free sixmonth membership courtesy of Quest Gym owner Thomas Irvine.

Meanwhile, Cowan’s room continues to fill with signs of support, from the recent donations to handmade quilts to signed Ottawa Senators merchandise. But it’s a colourful beaded necklace that paints the most vivid picture of his courageous battle.

Diagnosed with brain cancer at the age of 11, Cowan began adding a single bead to the necklace every time he had a contact with a health-care professional associated with his leukemia or blood was drawn or he stayed overnight in the hospital or he underwent treatment.

Navaneelan, a local dentist, has made it her business to help local children in need, as well as

After transforming Sean’s room into a video gamer’s paradise, the group displayed the 13-year-old’s bead necklace, showcasing his courageous battle with leukemia. those overseas.

“This is just a small way to bring some sunshine into his life, with what he’s going through,” said Navaneelan. “And it’s not over yet, he’s still has to go through so many more chemo treatments. For this kind of population, there are way too many kids getting sick. I don’t know what’s happening in this community. I wish we could do something more about finding out why it’s happening.”

Lauzon encourages the public to get in touch with her office to learn more about the Small Moments of Joy program.

“Keep an eye open for local children who really

do need help,”she said.“That’s what we’re here for.”

Rachel’s Kids 12th annual Garden Party and Charity Auction is being held at the Ramada Inn in Cornwall on June 4. Tickets are $60.

Lauzon noted this year an extra 100 tickets are available, bringing the head count to 500.

The event also helps support Rachel’s Kids’ fostering program for children overseas, where funds go towards education.

For more information, contact (613) 933-3946 or visit rachelskids.com or stop by the office at 525-D Ninth Street East in Cornwall.

Tourism agency could disappear as county funding set to be cut Todd Lihou todd.lihou@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – The days appear to be numbered for a local agency tasked with promoting tourism in Cornwall and area. Officials with the United Counties of SD and G have informed their counterparts with the city that they are likely to pull out of an agreement to continue funding Cornwall and the Counties Tourism, beyond this year. Counties CAO Tim Simpson said in an interview United Counties council is likely to make its decision official at a meeting next month. On its surface it means Cornwall and the Counties

Tourism, which has helped market this region as a destination for visitors since the 1990s, will be minus some $80,000 in funding from the rural government after this year. But in all likelihood this will lead to the beginning of major changes on the tourism front in Cornwall and area, and marketing the region as a destination for visitors. “Council has to decide how, or if, it wants to fund (tourism) in the future,”said Simpson, who is working on a report to that end for county councillors. Cornwall CAO Norm Levac said city officials will now begin discussions on how to move forward – and all options are on the table. As an example, there’s been informal talk of bringing the tourism wing under the

expressed worry with the low number of SD and G businesses that participate in the tourism agency’s initiatives. “Council is not satisfied with the current setup, in terms of what the value for money is,” said Simpson. Last summer county council began voicing its concerns with continuing to fund the tourism agency. Linda Wilson, executive director of Cornwall and the Counties Tourism, said it will be business as usual for the balance of the year, but beyond that she has few answers.

“We’re kind of at a standstill,” she said, adding the county decision is surprising given that it made requests of the tourism body to implement changes. “We’re going to continue our year, as planned.”

auspices of the city’s economic development department. “We need to sit down and evaluate what will happen,” said Levac. “We need to explore all the options. Something will have to happen.”

City hall contributed $160,000 to the tourism agency this year (down from $180,000 the year before), in addition to the $80,000 supplied by the United Counties. Simpson said the decision boils down, in large part, to ensuring it is getting effective bang for its municipal buck.

Counties officials had some concerns about the way the tourism agency governed itself, including what it felt were a low number of elected officials from both municipalities on its board. It has also

A big Thank You to Jessica and staff at the Cornwall Dairy Queen. On Saturday, April 16th, several young men from Laurencrest Y.S. were brought to D.Q. to spend their allowances.

Unfortunately, one of the young men was short a dollar in his order. Jessica told the youth not to worry about it and proceeded to pay the difference out of her pocket. She could have easily told him to change his order but instead, she made this young man’s day. Also a special mention to the customer at the D.Q. who offered to pay the difference. Thanks, Laurencrest Youth Services.

“Cash or charge,” the clerk asked. “Cash,” she snapped. Then apologizing for her rudeness, she explained, “ I’ve spent the afternoon at the license bureau. I am way past sane!!”

“Shall I gift-wrap the bat?” the clerk asked sweetly, “Or or you going back there?”
