La Citadelle reconnaît ses athlètes
L’année 2015-2016 a été remplie d’exploits au chapitre des sports à l’École secondaire catholique La Citadelle. L’Association athlétique a tenu, en fin d’année scolaire, son gala sportif annuel. Cette année, sous le thème d’une soirée à Paris, les athlètes et entraîneurs avaient plusieurs exploits à célébrer, dont plusieurs championnats S.D. et G. et de nombreux athlètes représentant leur école au championnat OFSAA de golf, de course de fond, de badminton et de tennis.
Environ 150 élèves étaient présents pour le gala sportif 2016. Pendant la soirée, plusieurs médailles et trophées ont été décernés aux athlètes de l’école. Les trophées d’athlètes de l’année ont été remis à Émilie Ménard, athlète junior féminine, Amédé Fontaine, athlète junior masculin, Adriana Conti, athlète senior féminine et Alexandre Gaulin, athlète senior masculin. Les élèves ont souligné la retraite d’une entraîneuse exceptionnelle, une femme qui a contribué énormément au programme
sportif à La Citadelle, Jo-Anne Dexter. Pour souligner son départ, les élèves ont présenté un nouveau trophée qui reconnaît le dévouement exceptionnel d’un élève- entraîneur par excellence. Ce trophée a été décerné à Skyler St-André. De plus, Mme Dexter a reçu elle-même le trophée Colin Hood de OFSAA pour son engagement hors pair et son dévouement exceptionnel au sein des sports tout au long de sa carrière à La Citadelle. Le trophée du meilleur esprit sportif, maintenant appelé le trophée Denise- Dumais, a été attribué à AlixMarcil et Connor
Lalonde. Dans les disciplines sportives, sept autres médailles ont été remises à des élèves démontrant un leadership et un esprit sportif au delà des autres.

One man still on the loose following robbery
One man has been arrested, and a warrant has been issued for the arrest of the second man in relation to the armed robbery which occurred at a local pharmacy on June 20. On June 24, a public notice revealed that two men wearing bandanas or cloths over their faces had entered a local pharmacy and stated that it was a robbery. One of the men brandished a knife as they demanded cash and narcotics. Once the men removed a quantity of cash and narcotics they fled the scene in a van, prior to police arrival. On July 5, members of the Criminal Investigation Division attended the Ottawa Carleton Detention Centre and charged Matthew Armstrong, age 29, of Ottawa, with Armed Robbery, Possession of a Dangerous Weapon, Possession of a Disguise with Intent, Drive while Disqualified, and two counts of Theft of Motor Vehicle. He was located and arrested in Ottawa on June 22 after having fled Ottawa police officers in a stolen motor vehicle taken from Cornwall. Further investigation revealed that he was one of the men involved in the pharmacy robbery. He remains in custody awaiting a bail hearing.The second man involved in the robbery has been identified as Adam Martin, age 33, of Akwesasne. A warrant has been issued for his arrest. He should be considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with any information regarding his whereabouts is asked to contact the Cornwall Community Police Service. – Francis Racine

Collecte de fonds pour une jeune combattante
Cristill Rock, une compagnie de Cornwall, a décidé d’amasser des fonds pour la famille d’une jeune fille atteinte du cancer. En effet, c’est le 8 juillet dernier que les employés de la compagnie amassaient des dons d’argent qu’ils déposaient dans une cruche d’eau vide. Lily Douglas, qui est âgée de cinq ans, vient tout récemment d’être diagnostiquée avec un cancer de type stade quatre. Celle-ci souffre du cancer rhabdomyosarcome avec métastases. Les rhabdomyosarcomes sont les cancers des tissus mous les plus fréquents chez les enfants. Ils représentent environ 5 % des tumeurs pédiatriques solides et touchent plus les garçons que les filles. Ils surviennent le plus souvent au niveau de la tête et du cou, plus rarement dans la région génito-urinaire ou les membres, mais peuvent cependant toucher toutes les parties du corps. On reconnait, ci-dessus, Mari Cheffer, Robin Andrew et Christine Plouffe. — photo Francis Racine

Helping abused children
Les Films Franco bientôt diffusés à la bibliothèque de Cornwall La bibliothèque municipale de Cornwall, en collaboration avec ses partenaires communautaires francophones, présentera prochainement son programme Les Films Franco à la biblio. Le premier film, le drame social Henri Henri , sera présenté à deux occasions, soit le 20 juillet à 18 h 30 et le 23 juillet à 14 h. Henri Henri est un orphelin qui a grandi et vit dans un couvent à Montréal. Il trouve sa vie bouleversée lorsque les religieuses vendent le couvent à un promoteur immobilier, forçant Henri à sortir et apprendre à faire son chemin dans le monde extérieur. Un deuxième film, Le cœur de Madame Sabali , une comédie-drame- fantaisie, sera présenté deux fois également, soit le 24 août à 18 h 30 et le 27 août à 14 h. Jeannette souffre de problèmes cardiaques, Dans l’attente d’un nouveau cœur, elle mène une vie tranquille en banlieue de Montréal. Après une transplantation, Jeannette est talonnée par le fils de sa donatrice, un adolescent d’origine malienne, qui reste convaincu que Jeannette est la réincarnation de sa mère. Les deux films sont cotés G, voulant dire qu’ils sont pour toute la famille. De plus, leur visionnement est entièrement gratuit. Ils seront présentés dans la grande salle au deuxième étage, sur un écran géant avec un système audio, tout dans une atmosphère climatisée. It’s the second year TJX Canada decided to donate to Koala Place, a centre that helps local children and youth who suffer from abuse. “It’s a generous donation that will go towards funding our many programs,” explained executive director Elyse Lauzon. “We help children that have experienced abuse.” TJX Canada is the parent company of Winners, HomeSense and Marshalls. The exact amount of the donation couldn’t be announced, but the executive director stressed that it was the same as last year’s.

Local Canada Post employee breaks silence
Canada Post letter courier AdamWeight says he wants to keep delivering letters and parcels despite the threat of work stoppage that is looming on the horizon. He also stressed that a good number of Canadian citizens are ill informed when it comes to the current situation. “Some people weren’t quite happy,” stressed Weight. “But I told the people on my route that ultimately, it’s not us that make the decision, it is Post Canada and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.” — photo Francis Racine

route that ultimately, it’s not us that make the decision, it is Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.” But the letter courier was quick to explain that most of the people he talked to fully understand his precocious position. “I want to keep working,” he said, while still having several letters and packages within themany pockets of his uniform. “They might even lock us out.” A news release, sent out by Canada Post on July 8, outlined that “both parties remain far apart on key issues. The impasse has caused tremendous uncertainty, which is having amajor impact on the business, our customers and our employees.” Canada Post employees are coming to work to find the amount of mail and parcels they process and deliver has dropped significantly. “We certainly have seen busier days,” Weight explained smiling. Canada Post in Cornwall employs over 50
people and covers over 30 routes. “I like my job, and the majority of my coworkers agree that the deal we have been offered, while not perfect, is a decent, fair one and we should grab it now before it’s too late,” saidWeight. “But if it ends up with myself andmy coworkers stuck outside with the old signs, remember that some of us are forced there to ensure we can at least get a small pay check each week, for strike pay. Unfortunately we are but pawns in their game, with no say on the offer that has been tabled, which, considering 60 000 employees pay over $70 each amonth in union dues, is an absolute disgrace.” A feud between two giants “Canada Post has informed the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) that what our employees and our customers need is long-term certainty in the postal system,” stated a news release by Canada Post. This round of bargaining between Canada
Post andCUPWmostly centers on thedefined benefit pension plan. “We once again have the right to freely negotiate our collective agreements and it is time to stand strong and be united,” explained a news release by the CUPW. “We must send a message to Canada Post that we are bargaining based on our demands and that we will fight for our future and for all future postal workers.” On the other hand, Canada Post expressed that the union’s demands were simply unrealistic. “CUPW tabled offers that would add at least $1 billion in new costs over the termof a new collective agreement while rejecting the Corporation’s approach to address the long-term issues with the employee pension plan,” stressed Canada Post. According to the latter, the whole organization would be in need of a new pension approach for new hires.
Adam Weight faces several challenges when completing his job, such as rotten steps, hazardous yard materials and especially dogs. “I’ve never been bitten by one yet,” the letter courier explained laughing. But with the many uncertainties surrounding the delivery of mail in the past week, Weight might very well be bitten, figuratively speaking, by a Cornwall resident instead of a dog. The Canada Post employee dropped by the Cornwall Journal ’s office on July 8 in order to discuss what was once a looming lockout, which by now seems to have all but dissipated. The whole affair has had some residents of Cornwall seeing red according to the letter carrier. “Some people weren’t quite happy,” stressedWeight. “But I told the people onmy

Alouette 1 — Canada’s stellar space-age debut

take care of the launch.
On September 29, 1962, Canadamade history by becom- ing the first non-American, non-Soviet country to build an artificial satellite and send it to space. The launch of Alouette 1 kicked off one of the most advanced space programs ever seen, but this success story starts with a surprisingly low-tech device: the radio. In 1947, at the dawn of the Cold War, the Canadian gov- ernment created the Defence Research and Telecom- munications Establishment (DRTE) with the goal of improving the military’s radio communications. To do so, researchers at the facility focused their studies on a particular slice of the Earth’s atmosphere that allows radio waves to travel long distances called the iono- sphere. Canada’s ascension to the stars truly began a decade later, when the newly formed NASA invited the world to collaborate on a satellite programdedicated to studying the ionosphere. Dr. John H. Chapman, a young physicist at the DRTE, answered the American agency’s request with an ambitious plan for a satellite able to analyze the ionosphere fromabove. More convinced by the prospect of an international partnership than by the blueprints themselves, NASA gave Alouette 1 the green light in 1958. Both countries agreed that Canada would design and build the device at the DRTE facility and NASAwould
Over the next four years, Dr. Chapman and his team worked tirelessly to build the satellite—and most of its components—entirely from scratch. Even as it neared completion, the project had more than a few doubters. NASA itself judged the undertaking too advanced for the technology available at the time. So when the count- down reached zero in the early hours of September 29, 1962, no one really knew what to expect.
And then the sky over California’s Vanderberg Air Force Base lit up.
Not only did Alouette 1 achieve orbit as planned, but its mission exceeded even the most optimistic expecta- tions. Built to orbit the planet for a single year before being shut off, Canada’s first satellite remained active for an entire decade, providing researchers with a record- shattering amount of data. After the tremendous success of Alouette 1, the DRTE built three more satellites, all launched by NASA. Each of thesemissions further cemented Canada’s reputation as a cutting-edge contributor to space technology and helped pave the way for today’s industry-leading Cana- dian Space Agency.

Trinidadian community
The first significant wave of Trinidadians arrived in Canada during the 1920s. They were recruited to work in mines, shipyards and on the expanding railroad system as labourers, porters or chefs. Some Trinidadians enlisted in the Canadian army during the Second World War as part of the allied war effort and were allowed to remain in Canada after the conflict was over. Around 65,000 Canadians who voluntarily filled out the National Household Sur-
The pacific dogwood (Cornus nuttallii) is BC’s provincial flower. Blossoms proliferate in trees six to eight metres high on Vancouver Island and along the Fraser River. The white petals are actu- ally modified leaves grouped around a cluster of tiny green flowers. The floral symbol was officially adopted in 1956. Flower: Pacific Dogwood BRITISH COLUMBIA
vey in 2011 reported having some degree of Trinidadian background, but current estimates place the figure much higher—around 150,000. These Canadians find their roots in a small Caribbean country off the coast of Venezuela called Trinidad and Tobago. Canada was among the first to recognize the nation’s independence from Great Britain in 1962, making relations between the two countries historically strong. While vibrant Trinidadian communities exist in cities from coast to coast, the greater Toronto area is home to Can- ada’s largest concentration of Trinidadian Canadians. Every summer, the city hosts Caribana, Canada’s largest Ca- ribbean festival, and Trinidad and Tobago is always featured prominently throughout the colourful event. The very concept of the carnival in Canada can be traced back to early Trinidadians; calypso and steel band music are other cultural contributions of note. In recent years, many Trinidadian Canadians have made an impact on our cultural scene: novelist Neil Bissoondath and recording artists k-os and Keshia Chanté are a few among many.

sur les territoires de Prescott-Russell et de Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry. C’est l’avis qu’a émis la Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) alors que l’équipe d’intervention en cas de bas niveau d’eau élevait le niveau des conditions de sécheresse de mineures à modérées. La pluie des derniers jours n’a augmenté que de très peu l’humidité dans
le sol. À la finmai, l’organisation avait annoncé une sécheressemineure dans la région. Mais les conditions depuis les derniers ne se sont pas beaucoup améliorées. « Les rares précipitations reçues en juin ont été sporadiques et insuffisantes pour améliorer l’humidité du sol et la teneur en eau des ruisseaux et des eaux souterraines, a déclaré la CNS, dans un communiqué. Selon les stations climatiques d’Environnement Canada de Cornwall, d’Ottawa et de Brockville, les précipitations au cours des trois derniersmois ont été de 60 % inférieures à la normale. » De nombreux petits cours d’eau commencent à tarir, ce qui favorise la croissance d’algues, et les résidents de longue date indiquent qu’ils n’ont jamais vu des niveaux d’eau si bas en juin. Les agronomes de l’équipe d’intervention en cas de bas niveau d’eau ont fait remarquer qu’ils constatent déjà les effets de la
sécheresse sur le rendement des cultures. Des conditions de sécheresse prolongées peuvent également nuire à la santé des arbres et des jeunes plants récemment mis en terre. Les résidents, les entreprises et autres industries à travers le territoire peuvent aider en réduisant leur consommation d’eau de 20 %, en limitant les utilisations non essentielles (par exemple l’arrosage des pelouses, le lavage de voitures, etc.). Les propriétaires sont priés de prendre connaissance des règlements en vigueur pour la prévention des incendies et la rareté de l’eau dans leur municipalité. L’équipe d’intervention en cas de bas niveau d’eau de la CNS, créée dans le cadre du Plan d’intervention en cas de baisse du niveau des eaux de l’Ontario, comprend des représentants des gouvernements provinciaux et municipaux, des membres de la communauté agricole et d’autres groupes d’intérêts spéciaux.

Be bear aware say police OPP and conservation officers recently responded to a report of a black bear cub spotted near a residential lot in South Stormont. Police incident report states the cub seemed to be roaming about and not posing a threat. OPP notified area residents, neighbourhood schools and bus companies that the bear cub was in the area to increase its chance of leaving the vicinity without any incident. OPP remind all homeowners in the Five Counties region to take steps to “bear proof” their property and reduce the chance of any unwanted wildlife from coming into a yard in search of food. That includes waiting until the morning of garbage collection to put bagged trash out for collection. Check the Ministry of Natural Resources website for advice on bearproofing property in rural areas. For emergency situations involving a bear in the area phone 911. For a non-emergency bear sighting report phone the toll-free Bear Wise line at 1-866-514-2327. – Gregg Chamberlain Cornwall residents are invited to enjoy a free movie under the stars on July 16 at the Lions Club Bandshell in Lamoureux Park as part of the City of Cornwall’s Arts in the Park series. This free event – proudly sponsored by Rachel’s Kids – will feature the presentation of the movie Alvin andThe Chipmunks: The Road Chip on a 25-foot inflatable screen. The show will start as soon as it is dark enough and seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis, so an early arrival is recommended. “The outdoor movie night has become a popular part of our Arts in the Park series,” said Lorne Taillon, leisure arts coordinator. “It’s a great way for families to enjoy our waterfront park and spend some quality time together during the summer holidays.” Food vendors will be on site selling food and drinks, and the Civic Complex washrooms will remain open for the duration of the movie. Organizers are reminding movie-goers to dress for the weather and come prepared with a lawn chair or blanket, a flashlight and bug spray. — supplied photo

YOUR HOROSCOPE for the week of July 10 to 16, 2016
THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: CAPRICORN, AQUARIUS AND PISCES.
ARIES You may want to isolate yourself in order to deal with some of your emotions. Fortunately, your friends know how to cheer you up when you’re feeling down. TAURUS Consult your doctor if you feel the least bit ill. You understand what people are thinking and can create harmony around you. The atmosphere at work improves under your more polished leadership. GEMINI You have a lot of details and a confusing situation to settle urgently at work before you can go on vacation. Be preventa- tive about catching infections, especially when swimming. CANCER You enjoy going to movies and shows — you might even find yourself in a starring role in one way or another. Your creativity shines. LEO You have to make a lot of trips for various reasons, but you would much prefer to relax at home. The family asks for your help for several things. VIRGO Prepare thoroughly if you have to give a talk; an improvised speech may not live up to your expectations. Your tact and sensitivity resolve a situation of conflict. LIBRA You feel as if you’re walking on eggshells at times. You need to use tact and diplomacy to avoid offending anyone. You also have to deal with an unexpected expense. SCORPIO A second cup of coffee helps you start the week off on the right foot. You have lots of random ideas and don’t always know where to start. Fortunately, the fog will soon disperse. SAGITTARIUS Don’t burn the candle at both ends. You’re inclined to go all the way in meet- ing people’s needs, but you’ll just end up exhausted. Channel your energies more efficiently. CAPRICORN You end up with some huge res- ponsibilities, which aren’t always very clear. Even at home, you have to decide who does what in order to avoid any kind of confusion and conflict. AQUARIUS You find a training program that is perfect for you and that will pave the way to a more prestigious career. This move enables you to make one of your biggest dreams come true. PISCES You need a change of air and a break in your routine, even if you hadn’t planned a vacation. You invest time in learning a new language, especially if you’re planning a trip.
