Did the WDC stray from its mandate?
shy away from buying the bulk of it? City o!cials claimed that the area may pose an environmental dilemma. In essence, the WDC’s lack of action, back in 2006, sprouts doubt as to what it can tru- ly accomplish. According to the 2007 Wa- terfront plan, Key Guiding Principles would include focusing on recreation, tourism and community facilities, good public access through ownership or access rights tied to private development, a “connected” Water- front, public facilities to be required of private development, quality in design for Waterfront buildings and projects and redevelopment of key areas. The above statement was included in the plan a full year after Paris Holdings obtained the land. Newly elected mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy expressed his intent to align the committee back to its main role, to follow the master plan. The one-time councillor also wants the WDC to put more focus on community minded projects, such as splash pads and public washrooms.

CORNWALL | At 196 pages and with an elaborate name, the O!cial plan of the Corporation of the City of Cornwall could easily scare some away. But hidden deep in its pages are very interesting policies and goals, directed at the city’s water- front, such as, amongst others, recognize the waterfront as a potential tourism re- source and encourage appropriate tour- ist projects and facilities on suitable sites, encourage comprehensive redevelopment of select and appropriate sites along the As if to rub more salt in the wounds of those who opposed the installation of chemical tanks on the waterfront, the City’s website has yet to update its list of accomplishments regarding the waterfront committee. waterfront such as the area east of the Civic Complex , and recognize the historic importance of the waterfront . Spanning 16 kilometers, it’s no wonder the parcel of land is bound to play an important role in the city’s future growth. Oddly enough, although an o!cial mas- ter plan exists, a waterfront plan was also created, "rst in 1989 and updated in 2007. The 112-page document divided the whole of the city’s waterfront into "ve sections, which in turn labeled projects in terms of importance. Outlined priorities were the Eastern part of Cornwall facing the river, the area between the Cornwall Harbor and the college, Lamoureux and Guindon Parks, as well as the seemingly forgotten Canal Lands. Created in 1987, the Waterfront Develop- ment Committee’s (WDC) initial mandate was to provide public input into develop- ment of the entire waterfront. Although several of the goals outlined in

the 2007 revised edition of the plan were successfully completed, one sentence in the executive summary section of the doc- ument seems to have been completely ig- nored by the committee. “ Future goals include to acquire further lands for City ownership, harbor redevelop- ment, introducing more residential devel- opment, discouraging industrial uses, and re-utilizing vacant properties ,” reads the statement. It is perceived, throughout the commu- nity, that the current waterfront committee remained blatantly powerless, either know- ingly or unknowingly, when faced with the installation of chemical tanks on a federally owned parcel of land. This, in turn, begs the question: does the WDC committee truly have power to acquire federal or even pri- vate lands? As if to rub more salt in the wounds of those who opposed the installation of chemical tanks on the waterfront, the City’s website has yet to update its list of accom- plishments regarding the waterfront com- mittee. Under the harbor and college sec- tion, it still states that the said committee has proudly attained its goal of removing oil tanks from lands near the harbor . In 2006, the majority of lands owned by Domtar, located in what could be consid- ered the Canal Lands, were bought by Paris Holdings for the small sum of $4 million. The city of Cornwall then proceeded to pur-
Launch of Lock it or Lose it Campaign
CORNWALL | The Cornwall Community Police Service is participating in the province-wide Lock it or Lose it Cam- paign and is warning motorists about the dangers of property and identity theft resulting from unlocked vehicles or the leaving of valuables in plain view. The campaign is sponsored by the On- tario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) and encourages drivers to take precautions to protect their vehicles and vehicle contents from theft, particularly during the holiday season. “Leaving vehicles unlocked or valuables in plain sight is an invitation for thieves to
con"rm they are locked and that no valu- ables have been left in plain view. O!cers place a small notice on vehicles checked indicating what safety precautions were neglected and o#er simple prevention tips for drivers to protect their vehicles against theft. The notices also congratulate drivers who have secured their vehicle. “The insurance industry remains a strong supporter of the Lock It or Lose It Campaign .We know it works,”said Rick Du- bin, Vice-President, Investigative Services, Insurance Bureau of Canada. “While actual vehicle thefts have dropped, we are very concerned about identity theft and iden-
tity fraud. Cases of iden- tity theft and fraud have increased across Canada from 10,807 to 11,594 in 2013 – a 6% increase.” Dubin urged motorists not to keep personal doc- uments such as vehicle ownership, liability pink slips, credit card invoices,

Organisée par le Centre culturel ainsi que Partir d’un bon pas, la fête avait pour thèmes le plaisir et l’ambiance des Noël d’autrefois. Un souper succulent a été servi, suivi d’une danse typiquement francophone. «Même si l’on a eu moins de par- ticipants que l’an passé, on a quand même eu beaucoup de plaisir, a déclaré Lucie Hart, présidente du Centre culturel. Nous avions plusieurs objets pour notre encan silencieux et des étudiants de l’école L’Héritage ont même exposé des chaises qu’ils avaient pein- turé pour la journée nationale de l’enfant.» Selon Mme Hart, le souper d’antan, qui en est à sa deuxième édition, deviendrait un événement annuel.

Brian Snyder. “Thieves are also looking for anything in a vehicle that allows them to engage in identity theft. Don’t give them the oppor- tunity. Keep anything with your personal information with you.” During the Lock it or Lose it Campaign , police o!cers examine parked vehicles to
or other documents containing personal information in their vehicles. Identity thieves are looking for such documents so they can assume identities, secure credit card accounts, lease vehicles for export, and even take out a mortgage against vic- tims’ properties without their knowledge. Victims may not realize they have been victimized until it is too late, costing them time and money to rectify the damage.

Keeping Christmas shopping local FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca
CORNWALL | Christmas is more than three weeks away but some have already begun or even "nished their Christmas shop- ping. But as with every other jolly sea- son, a wave of love for local business has arisen, encouraging shoppers to visit their neighborhood stores before browsing the aisles of big box superstores. But as famed broadcast journalist Walter Cronkite once said, “in seeking truth you have to get both sides of the story.” The Journal therefore decided to conduct its own little experiment, in order to consid- er just how much more money is needed, in order to keep Christmas shopping local. The biggest issue facing local buyers is, of course, the price. Some argue that although they dowant to encourage local businesses, prices for the same product are signi"cantly higher than their big box store counter- part. The Journal therefore decided to scout aisles at local stores as well as larger stores. Nearly identical toys, wrapping paper and Christmas fruit cakes were purchased; one at a local commerce, the other at a big box store. The results were quite surprising.. Two of the same puzzles were bought, one at a big box store located on Brookdale Avenue, and another at a local toy store. Both were in the same price range, the one bought at the local merchant being slightly more expensive. As for wrapping paper, The Journal decid- ed to purchase one at a local family owned dollar store and one at a corporate owned commerce. In the long run, we were forced to pay a total of 35 cents more for our locally bought roll. Although cheaper, the product purchased at the larger facility proved to be of lesser quality, the colors being duller and the paper seeming more likely to tear.
Any Christmas supper could not be com- plete without the traditional fruit cake. Therefore, one was bought at a big box store, and the other at a local bakery. The prices were quite di#erent, the big box version of the product being signi"cantly cheaper. Yet the bakery bought one actu- ally had a better fruit taste, whereas the big box store cake had the consistency of a bath sponge. Purchases that bene!t the community The Cornwall and Area Chamber of Com- merce and the City of Cornwall teamed up in November 2013 and launched We Shop in Cornwall , a Facebook page dedicated to encouraging local shopping. “Buying local helps to stimulate local eco- nomic activity, which is good for the overall health of our community,” had expressed Kevin Hargreaves, president of the Corn- wall and Area Chamber of Commerce, dur- ing the launch “When we shop at home, we are supporting our family members, friends and neighbors who work for and manage these businesses.” According to Hargreaves, purchases made locally mean that a greater share of the money stays in the community and gets reinvested in it through wages, taxes, community donations, supplies and vari-
ous support services from other local busi- nesses. But who really cares about the price? Eat Right Ontario , a dietitian service pro- vided free of charge to residents of the province, provides a great answer to the commonly asked question; when comes Christmas time: “How can I save money but still eat local foods?” “Some of the most nutritious vegetables
and fruits can also be the least expensive, like potatoes, apples, carrots and other root vegetables,” states the service’s web- site. “You may also "nd that you can save money by buying locally grown foods that are frozen or canned. As long as you choose frozen or canned food with reduced salt, fat or sugar, you are getting budget friendly vegetables and fruit that have been packed when they have the most nutrients.”

Une mort qui secoue la ville entière Le chaos s’est installé dans presque toute la ville le 26 novembre dernier, lorsqu’un homme a été retrouvé poignardé, près du Ramada Inn sur l’avenue Brookdale. Une grande partie de l’artère commerciale a donc été fermée, créant la consternation chez de nombreux résidents de la ville. À l’heure de mettre sous presse, l’homme n’avait pas encore été identi"é par les policiers. Par contre, selon un communiqué de presse envoyé par les services de police de Cornwall, la victime se serait enlevé la vie. Charity hockey game: December 13 The Cornwall Colts and the Benson Group are once again teaming up to support the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul with a charity hockey game. The 2 nd annual event will take place on Saturday, December 13 at 4 p.m. at the Benson Centre.

C ORNWALL | In what has become a Corn- wall tradition for the past 15 years, Team Cornwall will host its popular Year in Re- view meeting on December 17. The meet- ing annually attracts well over 300 attend- ees who are eager to hear a recap of the “It is an interesting exercise to review the investments and accomplishments that have taken place in Cornwall over the past 12 months,” year’s economic activity, compiled by the City’s Economic Development Depart- ment. The meeting will be held in the larg- est theatre at Galaxy Cinemas on Second Street.

Many people really enjoy being able to see all of the major sto-

“Cornwall sits strategically within Central Canada between some of North America’s most in%uential urban centres,” said Gault. “Our success as a community is being no-
ticed in Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal boardrooms, and we have invited some key guests to join us on December 17.”
Community program is back Shoeless Joe’s Sports Grill’s sports-based and community-driven program“If Your TeamWins, Your Community Wins!” is back for yet another year.

There’s still time for any of these communities to come out on top and it will be up to the local sports teams to continue with their support and head to their local Shoeless Joe’s in order to take home the prize.”The "nal winners and selected refresh projects of the Shoeless Joe’s Sports Grill If Your Team Wins, Your Community Wins! competition will be announced in January 2015, and one lucky team will win a private dinner with Doug Gilmour! Kevin Rivette l’échappe de peu La deuxième édition de Propulse ta voix s’est terminée le 16 novembre dernier avec les quarts de "nale, les demi-"nales et la grande "nale. C’est devant près d’une centaine de personnes, à toutes les représentations, que les 36 artistes, choisis lors des audi- tions à l’aveugle les 1 er et 2 novembre, sont montés sur scène au Camp Musical de Saint-Alexandre. Ces artistes, provenant de toutes les régions du Québec, du Nouveau- Brunswick et de l’Ontario, ont livré des prestations à en couper le sou&e. Après chacune des prestations, leur professeur commentait publiquement la prestation qu’il venait d’entendre d’un des membres de son équipe. Kevin Rivette, originaire de Cornwall et le seul participant de l’Ontario, a "nalement été éliminé, mais non sans avoir livré toute une prestation.

Five Steps to Positive Parenting practices that target teenagers
Central Public School Principal Darryl Beck, told trustees, on November 26, about the advances his school has made
As a parent to a teen, you are probably no stranger to mood swings and eye rolling. Raising adolescents can be a challenging time for parents and teens alike. That is why agencies in Eastern Ontario have come together to make things a little easier with the Teen Triple P: Positive Parenting Program®. Teen Triple P is designed to help parents develop the skills needed to allow their teenager to adjust to the changes and demands of adolescence. It is based on building and maintaining strong relationships through five main principles:
ryl Beck added that the school has a strong communications program in place using Twitter, Facebook and other modern meth- ods that are serving to enhance the reputa- tion of the school within the Cornwall com- munity. “A positive and active Facebook and Twit- ter feed provides two-way communications with many families that Central serves and also builds further public knowledge and con"dence in our school,” Beck expressed. “We’re using text messaging to send and receive messages to parents without regu-
A construction project now underway will further enhance Central’s kindergarten pro- gram, adding two new kindergarten rooms on top of two already created this summer. The school promotes good classroom teaching through a quality “assessment” process – reviewing teaching practices and letting teachers and students know the steps to improve student learning. Central also has professional learning communi- ties and other professional development in place for its sta#.
1. Creating a safe and interesting environment 2. Ensuring a positive learning environment 3. Using assertive discipline 4. Having realistic expectations 5. Taking care of yourself as a parent
Much of a teen’s behaviour is driven by a fast-paced social, emotional and physically demanding time. Teen Triple P provides parents with current and reliable information on the growth and development of teens by helping them to respond to the needs and behaviours of their teenagers and understanding if extra help is needed. There is no one right way to parent a teen, but Triple P can offer information, support and practical answers for your everyday parenting concerns. You can start your Triple P experience today by registering for our upcoming events and information sessions at www.MYtripleP.ca, or by calling 1 844 362-8593.

dans un commu- niqué. Le club est cependant en très bonne santé "nan- cière.» Une équipe qui devait remplacer les célèbres Royals de Cornwall, les River Kings en sont main- tenant à leur qua- trième propriétaire en deux ans. « C o m m e joueurs, nous nous inquiétons de ce qui se passe sur la glace, a déclaré le défenseur des River Kings, Sasha Poku- lok.

CORNWALL | À peine quelques mois après l’acquisition du club de hockey junior par Brock Frost, entrepreneur local et conseil- ler, celui-ci a annoncé son intention de céder la majorité de ses actions à Darren Madden. «Ce que Brock a fait pour cette équipe est admirable», a déclaré M. Mad- den. « Nous apprécions tous ce qu›il a fait pour les Kings et pour ses e#orts sans "n pour stabiliser l’équipe dans notre com- munauté.» Le nouveau propriétaire a déclaré que son objectif principal est de plaire aux spec- tateurs. «Les River Kings sont là pour rester à Cornwall, a-t-il souligné. Cette équipe est en partenariat avec la communauté. Le soutien reçu jusqu›à présent a été énorme.»
Il semble que l’avenir des River Kings reste encore incertain, puisqu’un quatrième propriétaire, Darren Madden, prendra les rênes du club de Cornwall dès le mois prochain.

Over 700 mattresses recycled CORNWALL | A newmeasure to ban the curbside collection of mattresses has proven successful in diverting more used mattresses from the City land"ll. Since the new collection rule was implemented on August 1, the City has collected and shipped 730 mattresses for recycling. The mattresses collectively weighed 18.6 tonnes. It is estimated that the mattresses would have consumed approximately 581.4 cubic meters of uncompacted space at the City land"ll, had they not been diverted. As a comparison, that amount of material is equivalent to nine garbage trucks parked side by side. “By collecting and recycling used mattresses, we are reducing the amount of unnecessary material ending up in the City land"ll,” said Nicole Robertson, Solid Waste Supervisor. “This helps increase our waste diversion rate and extends the life of our land"ll.” The collected mattresses are sent to a third party who recycles the mattress components for reuse in other products. Up to 99 percent of the material in a mattress is recyclable and can be reused for a variety of purposes, including new steel (the steel wire), padding for cushioning applications (foam) and animal bedding, mulch or bio- mass fuel (the foundation), among other things. Amattress takes decades to decompose in a land"ll. It does not compact well and it can create a hazard when drilling gas collection wells. It can damage equipment if coils get tangled in the equipment. The change to the curbside collection of mattresses is one of several recommendations put forward in the City’s SolidWaste Management Master Plan, a comprehensive document that sets out a series of initiatives to help increase Cornwall’s overall waste diversion rate.

Cette dernière mentionne qu’un soin par- ticulier a été apporté pour bien faire com-

C’est une fa- çon de faire preuve d’empathie face à nos communautés scolaires et une façon de manifester notre solidarité corporative.»

Set aside to rise for 30 minutes. Roll out the dough and place on a cookie sheet. Spread the ground beef on the dough and arrange the sliced tomatoes on top. Sprinkle with tar- ragon. Put cheese slices on top of the tomatoes and sprinkle on a thick layer of the grated cheese. Anchovy fil- lets can also be put on the tomatoes before the cheese is added.
