Si Miller Arena - 1936 to 2011 BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

In Lamoureux Park FALL HOURS The Cornwall Community Museum

is now open Wednesday to Sunday from 11 am to 4 pm.

Admission is free, info. 613 936-0842

The photographs and postcards are from the collection of more than 10,000 images at the Cornwall Community Museum. If you are interested in learning more about our history the museum has a wide selection old and modern local histories for sale, or you may visit the museum throughout the winter every Wednesday from noon to 4 pm, and at other times by appointment., weather permitting. Info. 613 936-0842.

Historically Cornwall's citizens have rallied together to provide community amenities. Over the last century Horovitz Park, the new Benson Centre, the old Cornwallis Hotel, the Cornwall Community Museum, Cornwall Industrial Development Ltd., the Aquatic Centre and the Si Miller Arena, originally known as the Cornwall Community Arena, were all started and funded in part by local citizens.

In 1936 Cornwall needed a new arena, as the Victoria Rink had been destroyed by fire in 1933.

To correct this loss "a group of local prominent men, representing both city council and Board of Trade (Chamber of Commerce)" sounded out leading citizens and industrial leaders and concluded a natural ice arena was feasible. In typical fashion the naysayers stopped the project. However, never one to take no for an answer, Mayor Aaron Horovitz, at the inauguaral meeting of town council in 1935, announced his intentions "to revive the movement for an artificial ice arena." Within six weeks the committee had garnered overwhelming public support for the project.

By the end of the month the fundraising committee had $20,000 or more than $2 million in today's money.

To make this a true community effort the committee then issued a prospectus to sell stocks in the project. The pamphlet advertising the stocks read "Cornwall has earned and enjoys a reputation of being a progressive town because the citizens take an interest in the development of the community...Now it is proposed to build a community rink. To finance this it is necessary to obtain $60,000 through the sale of shares at $10 a piece."

With everyone from mill workers to professional people contributing the campaign was over by the end of May. In June a new board of directors headed by Mayor Horovitz and filled by W.L. Macfarlane, B.D. Millidge, W. Jones, W.V. Boyd, J.G. Miron, M.S. Dunn, W.A. Dingwall, J.A. Labonee, D.B. Roth and C.C. Munro, announced that they had purchased the site for the arena for $4,000.

In August the contract to build it was awarded to Hodgins Lumber of Cornwall.

In November 1936 the newspaper reported "Cornwall's New Artificial Ice Arena Symbol of Community Enterprise." Built when local people believed we deserved the best, the rink was described as one of the best for a city of this size anywhere on the continent."

Providing seating for 1,587 spectators and standing room for an additional 1,413, it was claimed that "it was impossible to find a single seat in the arena where the view of the ice surface is not at least good."

The facility boasted "three huge compressors" to provide ice, and seven miles of piping was installed to carry the salt solution to create the surface.

The report continued "Even in the seats directly over the ice-making machinery, it is almost impossible to feel any vibration, heavy insulation has cut the noise to a point where it can barely be heard, even when the arena is empty." Even though Cornwallites were struggling with the Great Depression more than 2,300 people contributed to their community arena. The City took over full ownership in 1963. Fittingly it was renamed the Si Miller Community Arena to honour City Parks and Recreation Director Si Miller's years of dedicated service to the City in 1994. With the nearing completion of the Benson Centre, the building is now slated for demolition.

Eye on Society by Jason Setnyk

COFFEE GRINDS Special Post Election Edition If Mark MacDonald won, and kept this riding red, the Ontario Liberals and Dalton McGuinty would have had a majority government right now.

Despite the foundation that Jim Brownell laid, the very hardworking and tenacious Mark Macdonald was unable to energize enough of the Liberal base. The Liberals have a minority government, and Andrea Horwath finds herself the queenmaker, because the Ontario NDP now hold the balance of power at Queen's Park. Both the Ontario NDP and Tim Hudak and the PCs have increased their seat totals in the Ontario legislature. I would like to congratulate MPP Jim McDonell who had a very convincing victory with 55% of the popular vote in SDSG. McDonell definately worked hard, however it was a blue wave in the counties that helped him sail to an easy victory. In this election I endorsed Elaine MacDonald on OurHomeTown.

She had a strong performance Thursday night. I wrote a public letter to my NDP friends on Facebook and said this: Today, let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. We now have a minority government in Ontario, and that means the NDP have a say. We have grown from 10 to 17 Members of Provincial Parliament, and our provincial candidate in SDSG gave us our best showing here since the mid-1980s. It may not have been the results we wanted, but we had a successful election nonetheless, and we should be proud of our collective efforts. Let us not look back in anger, but instead look forward to a bright orange future.

Highlights of the Cornwall City Council Meeting: Tuesday October 11th Article and Photo by Jason Setnyk

-City Council authorized funds to repair a part of the Cornwall Public Library's roof for the cost of $130,000. Fixing the aging roof now will prevent further damages.

-In a split decision the City will not contribute $258,580 to the Eastern Ontario Regional Network. The upgrades to the EORN will continue regardless of a City contribution to the project. The establishment of a PoP in Cornwall will make the City more attractive as a business location.

-Council did not make a decision yet on the Peace Corridors of the Americas proposal to have statues in Lamoureux Park. The City's Budget Steering Committee will investigate the cost further in the 2012 budget.

-Council proclaimed the week of October 16th to 22nd, 2011, as "Local Government Week" in the City of Cornwall. Council also proclaimed October 17th, 2011, as "Cornwall's Day for the Eradication of Poverty".

Air Quality! Cornwall Ontario ranks high in a new global air-quality survey. According to a City of Cornwall press release: The new World Health Organization survey adds to Cornwall’s growing reputation as a city with great air quality and outdoor amenities, and it also builds on the City’s commitment to the environment. Earlier this year, City Council met to establish a series of new strategic priorities for the current term of Council, with one of them being ‘Environmental Stewardship.’

Three New Buses! According to a City press release: The Cornwall Transit bus fleet has been enhanced with the arrival of three new accessible buses. The new acquisitions consist of two low-floor buses that will be used primarily on Community Service routes and a highfloor bus that will be used mainly for Handi-Transit service. The new buses are interchangeable on Community Service and Handi-Transit, and they will replace three older Handi-Transit buses in the fleet.

The Thunder Rolls and the Lightning Strikes!

Cover Story

Article and photos (including cover photo) by: Jordan Filion A strike quicker than a Lightning Bolt and a punch that hits harder than Thunder, Tony Luis is becoming quite the storm in the Boxing World.

Powerful strikes had his opponent winded and gasping for air, Tony hollered at his opponent to rise and fight again. Soon after rising, Tony shot a few more punches, and his opponent on the ground, had no choice but to forfeit. “ It was shaping up to be a good fight, when he was letting his hands go and he caught me, I was happy.

This guy was making me work and was giving me a chance to bring out the best in me,” the Champ said after his fight. Tony “Lightning” Luis returned home to Cornwall, with a championship belt around his waist from his glorious win, obtaining the WBC Continental Americas Light Welterweight Title at the Pierre Carbonneau Centre in Montreal October 1, 2011. The fight was supposed to last 12 rounds, each being 3 minutes long. However, the fire fists Tony threw at Alejandro Barrera had him down and out before first round had even ended.

At the start of the fight, it would have seemed that Alejandro Barrerra had the upper hand with his quick jabs and his right hooks. However, it didn't take our Local Champ long before realizing his fighting technique and taking the opportunities to strike back. The fight really took off from here, giving Lightning Luis full advantage of conquering the fight. Living up to his name, Lightning Luis threw punches that were almost too fast to be seen. His powerful body shots put Barrera to shame as he fell for the first time winded on the ground. Struggling to rise again, Barrera put on a strong face, but it didn't take long for Luis to knock him down on his knees once again with the final blow to his body. Struggling to breathe and overwhelmed in pain, Lightning Luis' opponent finally forfeited, and the 10 second count ended the fight.

Lightning Luis has racked up quite the record for himself. He is now standing undefeated 13-0, including five knockouts. Now that he's the best in the country, there is sure to be more competitors stepping up to the ring. Who knows what storm Lightning Luis will bring with him for his next fight. I guess we will just have to wait and see the fight for ourselves!

“I'm curious to see what my next fight will be. I don't want this streak to be too good to be true. I will eventually hit a wall and I know they will not all be this easy. I'm scared and ready for the challenge,” Tony Luis receives endless support from his local fan base in Cornwall and his growing fan base outside of Cornwall. If you`d like to be a fan, join his Facebook Group `Tony Lightning Luis`. It provides an inside scoop of his recent, current and upcoming events. This page is open to the public for posts, pictures and videos.

As an investor, you obviously want your money to grow over time. But at many points in your life, you’ll also need your investments to provide you with income. Fortunately, you’ve got some good choices available to help produce the income you’ll need — today and in the future.

Consider the following types of income-producing vehicles:

• Fixed-income ladders — Fixed-income investments, such as bonds and Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs), provide income in the form of interest payments. Typically, longer-term bonds pay higher interest rates to reward you for locking up your money for an extended time period. However, you may not want to just stock up on long-term bonds, because when interest rates rise, longer-term bonds tend to fall more in price. To help reduce this volatility, you may want to build a fixed-income “ladder” of bonds and GICs of varying maturities.

When interest rates are low, you’ll still have your higher-paying, longerterm bonds working for you. But when market rates rise, you can reinvest the cash from your maturing shorter-term bonds and buy new ones that pay the higher rates.

• Income guarantees — Unless a bond issuer defaults, you can generally count on receiving regular interest payments. But if you want an even stronger income guarantee, you may want to invest in an immediate annuity or segregated funds with guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (GMWBs). As its name suggests, an immediate annuity will make payments immediately, or very soon after purchase, and these payments can continue for the rest of your life. A segregated fund with a GMWB provides some protection by allowing you to withdraw a percentage of your investment annually guaranteed for life. The down side of immediate annuities and segregated funds is that they may give you less access to your principal than other investment vehicles, as well as less inflation protection and higher fees. But the opportunity to have a guaranteed income for life may outweigh those disadvantages.

•

Dividend-paying stocks — You can invest in stocks or stock-based mutual funds that provide income in the form of dividends. If you don’t currently need the income, you can reinvest the dividends, thereby increasing the amount of shares you own. Of course, you will be incurring greater risk to your principal than if you invested in fixed-income vehicles or immediate annuities. Also, companies can reduce or eliminate dividends at any time without notice. However, dividend-paying stocks typically offer much higher returns than bonds. And in fact, for the last 10 years, the average return for dividend-paying stocks exceeded the return for stocks that don’t offer dividends.

Furthermore, many companies have consistently increased their dividends year after year. This means that by investing in some dividendpaying stocks, you can achieve rising income, which you will need to stay ahead of inflation. This is especially true during your retirement years, when you may no longer be able to count on regular increases in earned income from employment.

A professional financial advisor can help you choose the right mix of income-producing vehicles — bond ladders, immediate annuities, segregated funds with GMWBs and dividend-paying stocks — to meet your needs, given your risk tolerance, family situation and other factors. By creating an effective investment strategy, you can go a long way toward achieving the income you need to reach your goals.

WHEN CARING GETS YOU IN TROUBLE Article by Julia Lucio

Heart of the family. What a meaningful name for a daycare. And one would expect that the care provided at this establishment would be nothing short of what a family would provide.

However, recently, a young hard working mother of 3, who voiced her concerned over the fact that her daughters didn’t seem properly looked after, found herself , well, out of care.

“I simply asked the daycare attendant why my daughter’s diaper was so full that it was falling apart and why my kids were not changed in their pajamas before going to sleep. Granted, my voice and tone were annoyed, but I was careful because I knew there were kids around. What parent wouldn’t be irritated to find their kids soaking in their wet diaper!”

The caregiver who was on duty that night made a formal complaint to the management stating that the mother “scared her and the other kids”.

And just like that, one night, when she was dropping off the children, as she did every night, mom was denied service, under the pretense that she had not submitted her work schedule, when in fact, she had given it to the same daycare attendant. “It was 30 minutes before I had to get to work and I had nowhere to turn.

Never once did I raised my voice. I was 100% respectful of the other children there, and mine were standing at the door the whole time… I did mumble a curse word or two under my breath, but nobody heard that. It was a horrible situation and I would love to hear if they would have anything to say.”

1) MOUNTAIN CLIMBER - Start on the the floor with your hands flat and your feet placed as though you are about to do push-ups, then with your abdominals contracted and your hips kept flat, draw one knee up to your chest and back. Do this with your other leg, and keep going until you have done 30 reps.

2) SIDE PLANK - This exercise involves balancing on your forearm on one side, keeping your ankles together and your body straight. Your chest should be facing outward, and your hips should be up as high as possible. Maintain this position for thirty seconds, then switch to the other side. Do this 4 times on each side.

3) JACK-KNIVES with Stability Ball - Put your hands on the floor as if you are doing a push up, and feet up on the ball.

Your back should be straight. While keeping control of the ball, draw your knees as close to your chest as they will go. Go back to the starting position, ensuring that your legs are kept straight, then do 20 repetitions.

“I now have no daycare and it’s hard for me to find something else because I work overnight oftentimes. No other daycare covers that shift. And If I have to put my daughters in a home daycare somewhere at the house of somebody I don’t know, I might as well just get on welfare and stay with them!”

So here is somebody who actually takes responsibility for herself and her kids. She works 3 jobs, sometimes more, to make ends meet. She is not a burden to society.

And she cares for her children. As a matter of fact, she cares so much, that when she sees that their very basic needs are not being met, she voices her concerns and actually gets penalized for it. She gets penalized by the very people SHE PAYS to care for her children. And yes, care does mean changing diapers.

As of yet, we were unable to get the daycare’s side of the story on this, but we would love to give them the opportunity to give an explanation as to why heart of the family showed no heart in this situation.

4) WEIGHTED RUSSIAN TWIST - Sit on the floor and lean back just until you can feel your abs are contracted. Hold your hands together,(with a dumbbell or medicine ball) out in front of you and while rotating your body from one side to the other touch the floor with them. You will want to keep your legs slightly bent, for a tougher workout, lift your feet from the floor. This is a great workout for your obliques. Do 40 repetitions, ( 20 on each side).

ART SEEKERS by Sandra Taylor Hedges

SEEKING THE ARTS . SEEKING THE ARTS Without a Vision the Artist will perish A very wise man once said that “Where there is no vision, the people will perish” Proverbs 29:18; very simply put you need a goal. Why is goal setting so important? The short answer is without a goal you have no way of determining whether or not you have moved yourself forward. In my Art classes and lectures on Business I always ask the group to set a goal for themselves around the class.

The goal must fit some of the following criteria: 1.

It must be able to be accomplished in the time allowed; there is no point in setting to lofty a goal for a short term project when only days or hours are available to dedicate to it.

Certainly there is nothing wrong with setting long term goals just so long as you see them as such and set a series of short term goals to get you from here to there.

2.

It must be tangible and measurable; do not set the goal of being rich some day as your goal after all my idea of rich may not be yours. Instead if you want to earn a $100,000.00 a year, month or per appearance then make that your goal. If you want to play at certain clubs or show in a particular Art Gallery then state it. Do not be afraid to aim high.

3.

It must move you forward; always look ahead to the next level or best venue. If you want to perfect a particular talent do it only if it will move your work forward toward your goals. Don’t set a goal of perfecting abstract painting if your goal is to be the next best thing to Robert Bateman. Instead set goals that will move you toward the style of Art, Music, Acting and Dance you want to be recognized for.

So now we understand about setting goals what exactly will those goals look like? The time honored way to get a visual of your short and long term goals is to make a Vision Board. This can be done with Foamcore Board, magazines, scissors and glue or now with the magic of computers we can set it up with any document maker, save it as a PDF and make it wall paper. Have the Vision Board show all the things you wish to accomplish while you are building your career both easily attainable and those that may seem “Pie in the Sky” to others. Keep this Vision in a place you will see it everyday and remind yourself daily that this is your Dream and you will see it come true.

The flip side of this is that without the Vision and the goal setting you are not focused enough to take yourself there. There is no magic Fairy Godmother; no Genii in a bottle; no amount of wishing and hoping that will get you there and soon the dream will die. This is sad but true. The good news is as soon as you realize the power of having a Vision and Goals you can be well on your way to success, a little late but better late than never.

As a footnote, hang out with other Visionary Goal seekers they will help inspire you and uplift you.

The Lighter Side After a year of changes, I shocked my hairdresser last week, when I declared I wanted to change my hair.

Wendy has been my hairdresser for over 14 years. She knows me and knows that when it comes to my hair, I do not accept change easily.

I decided that day that I wanted to go for it. When I arrived home from work, I printed out some photos of what I would like and brought her photos, which really help her envision what I am looking for.

She gave pause when I asked and made sure I really wanted to do it. I didn’t go too crazy, I opted for a medium cut which still touches my shoulders and means I can tie it up or put it in a clip. This is essential to me. As I saw the hair accumulate beside my chair and on the cape, I felt a momentary pang of panic. Will it look right, should I have opted for a less drastic move, and can I glue it back on? But then, I realized, it was a change I wanted.

As she blowdried it and styled it, I realized I liked the new look. It was fresh and made my hair feel fuller and bouncier. It was part of the new me.

Thank You Cornwall for supporting our Charity BBQ on Saturday, October 8th for the benefit of the Sick Kids Foundation.

A very grateful thank you to Harvest Garden Centre, Giant Tiger and Variety 104.5 for donating products and services.

A big shout out to Sarah Lalonde, Jessica Gladu, Emilie Leblanc, Samantha Dexter, Ryan Dagenais and Ethan Coleman for creative facepainting, game supervision and technical support. Special appreciation to all the staff at Rona on Cornwall Centre Road for promoting the BBQ, to customers, family and friends.

Last but not least to the Local Seeker for taking the time to document this event that turned out to be a great success!

I then made my way to the store to pick up some new makeup, hey I was on a roll. I selected shades that accented my brown eyes, and pale complexion. I haven’t indulged in new makeup in a while. It’s kind of ironic, since I spent over 10 years in a Cosmetic Department as a Certified Beauty Advisor. I felt a little pick-me-up was in order.

I have been cleaning out my closets and removing anything that doesn’t fit right, that is starting to fade. These little changes are making a difference. After paring down my closet, I am finding things I haven’t seen in a while. I’m starting to feel more confident, there is a spring in my step, and my long lost happy dance is back.

I also realized that I have become too serious. It is not difficult when you face a myriad of changes, and stress, but I needed to laugh again. I watched some comedies and relaxed a bit last weekend. No matter what is going on in your life you have to laugh sometimes. There are certain people in my life that can really bring out my humorous side. During a recent visit to a friend, we sat and talked about all the things going on in both our lives. She cheered me up and as we sat talking I said a few unexpected humorous observations. She was surprised, since I don’t always let that side show. It made me realize that maybe I put up more of a barrier than I realize. Sure sometimes, you have to watch what you say, but I have a quick wit, that sometimes I table so I don’t say anything inappropriate. It’s fun to let that carefree funny side out every now and again.

It was nice to see the family at Thanksgiving dinner. We made a pact not to bring up any upsetting topics and concentrate on the positive things happening in our lives. We all took time to say what we were grateful for. I think my four year old niece was the most grateful of all. She had the longest thankful list I have ever heard.

She’s so cute; it was hard not to laugh. She probably went home after and continued bringing everything up until her sleepy eyes won the battle. I also had a great time playing foosball hockey with my eight year old nephew Josh. I’d like to say I let him win, but I’d be lying. He won and was so good at it. I’m glad to see he doesn’t have the same lack of coordination that his aunt and mom do.

I am lucky that I am close to my family and have a strong pool of great friends who are always there for me. Life is messy sometimes and not always fair, but when you know you are not alone, it makes such a difference. It’s easy to share a smile and a laugh and enjoy life. I hope that my family and friends feel the same way and know that I am always there for them. It is the little things in life that really matter.

CCVS Graduate Jocelyn Jacques Awarded Jason Edmonds Emerging Artist Scholarship

WalkOn Meeting in Cornwall Article and Photo by Jason Setnyk

Tie up your running shoes because there will be a walkOn meeting at the Eastern Ontario Health Unit on Wednesday October 26th to promote walking and cycling in the City.

Cornwall Collegiate Vocational School graduate Jocelyn

Jacques was awarded the Jason Edmonds Emerging Artist Scholarship by the Lester B. Pearson School for the Arts (LBPSA) at Art Harvest 2011, held onSeptember 24 at the University of Western Ontario.

Art Harvest is an event that showcases dancers from across the province, and raises money for scholarships.

The $1,000 bursary was named after Jason Edmonds, a 23-year-old aspiring actor who was killed in a car accident in 2000.

Jacques, a dancer who is enrolled in the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Contemporary Dance program at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec, said she feels incredibly blessed to be receiving the scholarship.

“It helps ease my mind a little when it comes to the funding for my schooling,” she said. “Three years of university is definitely not cheap. But, I know it will be well worth it. I’m confident in that after only one week of my courses.”

Jacques said her dancing career truly began at St. Lawrence Secondary School (SLSS).

The Eastern Ontario Health Unit, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, and the University of Ottawa Heart Institute in partnership with Ontario Communities walkON are hosting a session of ‘Designing a more walkable & bikeable City of Cornwall’. The meeting will identify ways to improve the walking and cycling conditions for local residents and ultimately to improve their health.

Ontario Communities walkON is a program that will help make 24 Ontario cities and towns including Cornwall more walkable. This project aims to change the current social paradigm so that walkable communities are the cultural and social norm across Ontario.

During the meeting, walkability experts from Green Communities Canada and the Canada Walks Department, will focus on the links between walkable communities and issues of planning, development, health, transportation, traffic safety, the environment and economic development.

At this meeting you can hear about what other communities are doing to plan for active living and provide your local knowledge to see how these and new strategies can be applied in the City of Cornwall. There’s also a walk-about to look at factors that can help or hinder walking and cycling, so dress comfortably.

“I was originally a self-taught dancer,” she said. “But, once I started classes at SLSS, I was introduced to many sides of dance that I didn’t know existed. I learned partnering, group dances, choreography, basic movements and stretches that I still use today.”

Public input and creative ideas are critical to the success of the meeting and the creation of a plan for the City of Cornwall.

When she started grade 11 at CCVS, Jacques said she was introduced to technique, such as pointing, form and balance.

RSVP by October 20th, by emailing Chantal Lalonde at chalalonde@eohu.ca or by calling 613-933-1375, x250

The workshop will take place on Wednesday October 26, 2011, from 9:00am to 2:00pm at the Eastern Ontario Health Unit, located at 1000 Pitt Street in Cornwall Ontario.

“This experience inspired me to start taking classes outside school,” she said.

Jacques also credits SLSS and CCVS for introducing her to “touring.”

“We travelled to different places within our city and performed,” she said. “It was definitely a valuable learning experience. It helped present the idea of show business and what the lifestyle would be.”

Jacques will join CCVS alumnus Manuel Gagnon, as well as SLSS dance students, and participate in this year’s Art Harvest.

SLSS students will attend a workshop with renowned dancer Danny Grossman, and will be performing dances from the 2011 Step Into Motion Dance Festival in Cornwall.

“Our students are going to have the opportunity to dance with students from other schools as well as professional dancers,” said SLSS dance teacher Gisele Paquette.

Paquette, who taught Jacques at SLSS, said she is so proud of her accomplishments.

“I could always see the potential and love Jocelyn had for dance,” she said. “She was as enthusiastic and passionate about her art as she is today. Last year, she brought tears to my eyes as a dancer, and getting this news brings up even more emotions.

“I have had many moments in my teaching career that I can recall as spectacular, but I must tell you that this one is on the top of my list,” she added.

Jacques said she looks forward to lots of dancing in her future.

“I want to perform and create,” she said. “After my degree, I hope to join a company or troupe and help create and share stories through dance.

“Honestly, I just want to perform and help translate valuable messages to people,” she added. “That’s my favourite part about dance. When I perform and someone comes up to me and says they understood it and are sincerely moved, that’s what drives me to do what I do.”

Cornwall City Council has once again showed their support by endorsing and proclaiming Monday October 17th, 2011 as CORNWALL'S DAY FOR THE ERADICATION OF POVERTY.

In the Sportscard Game Interview with local business owner Dave Tierney Article and Photo by Jason Setnyk

On this day starting at 9 AM, the Social Development Council (SDC) of Cornwall & area will have the white flag raised outside of the Justice building on Pitt Street to help raise awareness and understanding of the challenges increasing poverty has on our community. In 1992, the United Nations declared October 17th to be the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty; where people gather to acknowledge the lives and efforts of those living in extreme poverty, and to renew their commitment to join them in their struggle.

Pictured above: Dave Tierney and David Murphy hanging out at the Sportscard shop Dave Tierney is a Bank Manager at the Bank of Montreal, he is married and a father of five children, and he is also a small business owner.

Tierney has partnered with local school teacher Steve Briere, and they are the proud owners of Dave & Steve's Sportscard Shop located at 812 Pitt Street (Unit 44 in the back) in Cornwall Ontario.

"I have been business partners with Steve Briere almost 3 years. Steve was one of my good customers and brought his expertise selling on eBay to the business. Our shop now focuses on three areas: the Shop, eBay (user name ottawa-valley-collectibles), and trade shows", explains Tierney.

Joining the SDC, the Social and Housing Services for the City of Cornwall and the United Counties of SDG and the Cornwall Public Library have collaborated to offer a Community Information Exchange on October 17th, 2011 from 3 PM to 7 PM at the Cornwall Public Library. The Community Information Exchange is an opportunity where community partners and struggling individuals and families can come together to obtain helpful information that could aid their current unfortunate circumstances. Many community agencies will be represented and will be providing assistance with information on needed services such as income and employment related supports, counselling and addictions support, housing and emergency type of assistance, and several other types of services available to anyone in the community. “Basically, service representatives will be available to provide information in relation to the impacts poverty can have on our physical, emotional, and mental health, in addition to the impacts as a community at large regardless of income level�, describes Michelle Gratton the executive director with the Social Development Council of Cornwall & area.

Everyone is encouraged to attend the white flag raising ceremony and Community Information Exchange in order to help create awareness and obtain assistance for themselves, friends and family members, and/or clients. Further information is available by contacting the Social Development Council of Cornwall & area at 613.930.0211 or mgratton@sdccornwall.ca.

The store carries mainly hockey and baseball sports cards and supplies, wax boxes and packs, new and vintage stuff, jersey's, sovereigns, and memorabilia.

This is Tierney's third sportscard shop since 1990. He not only sells sports cards, but he collects them too. Tireney is a Toronto fan, and Briere is a Montreal Canaidens fan.

"I am a lifelong Toronto Maple Leaf fan and Steve is a lifelong Montreal Canadien fan which is the way it should be as our shop consists of roughly 50/50 Leaf/Canadiens fans."

Steve & Dave's Sportscard shop is not the house of commons, as some great hockey cards have been sold at the shop, and some amazing cards have been pulled out of packs.

"I have sold a couple of 1966-67 Bobby Orr Rookie cards which in my opinion is one of the most well known and valuable cards in the market. Our customers have had some recent big pulls (cards they have opened in packs) including a Bill Barilko 1/1 autographed card, a Michael Jordan Autographed card, a dual signed Sidney Crosby card and a Napoleon Bonaparte memorabilia card."

The shop offers a place to meet other collectors, sit down and open a box of cards and enjoy a hockey game on TV. "We have a huge selection of Jersey cards and Autograph cards, many featured in our on-going, regularly stocked 5 for $20 promotion at the store", says Tierney.

Dave & Steve's Sportscard Shop is located at 812 Pitt Street Unit 44 (around back of the City Centre Plaza). Their hours are Monday to Friday from 7 to 9pm and Saturdays from 8am to 5pm. On Sundays you can often find Dave and Steve at Trade shows.
