édi!ces à travers l’Amérique du Nord, a pris d’assaut le projet et, de plus, pro!te d’une aide !nancière de la Ville puisque la pro- priété accueillant le futur Wal-Mart est une friche industrielle. Le terrain a été laissé à l’abandon à la suite de l’arrêt des activités industrielles. Les friches industrielles concernent des in- stallations dans lesquelles la contamination de l’environnement rend une expansion dif- !cile. «Le programme de revitalisation des friches industrielles o"ert par la Ville de Cornwall aide grandement les dével- oppeurs, a expliqué Stephen Alexander, di- recteur général, service de l’Urbanisme, des Parcs et des Loisirs de Cornwall. En nettoy- ant la propriété, la Ville reçoit un plus haut montant de revenus en taxes.» La valeur approximative de la propriété, suite à son développement, serait de 40 millions $, une hausse de plus de 35 mil- lions $. De plus, la Ville obtiendrait à peu près 1,6 million $ de revenus fonciers de la propriété, une hausse de 1,5 million $.

CORNWALL | Plusieurs travailleurs de la construction bravent les conditions hiver- nales ces jours-ci pour terminer un projet sur un arpent de terre qui appartenait autrefois à Domtar et qui rapportera bien- tôt près de 1,6 million $ annuellement à la Ville de Cornwall. Un nouveau Wal-Mart accueillera dans les prochains mois les clients dans son nouvel édi!ce de 195 000 pieds carrés de la rue Cumberland. Le nouveau Wal-Mart sera doté d’une épicerie complète et se veut une version améliorée de son prédécesseur de l’ave- nue Brookdale. Mais bien que plusieurs se réjouissent, certains disent espérer qu’un autre marchand reprendra le bail du géant. Mark Boileau, directeur du développe- ment économique pour la Ville de Cornwall, estime qu’il y a de fortes chances que le bail de l ! avenue Brookdale attire plusieurs

Gas tax benefits announced
At least four municipalities in Eastern Ontario will have an early Christmas gift to look forward to from the province this year. The Transport Ministry announced recipi- ents of this year’s provincial gas tax rebate program. In Ontario, 96 municipalities will receive a share of $321.5 million in provincial gasoline tax rebates. The gas tax refund goes to municipalities that have public transit systems and the money is earmarked to support those systems. The City of Ottawa has the largest portion of the Eastern On- tario share of the rebate at $33,733,122. The city is in the midst of enlarging its public transit setup with a light-rail commuter train system extension. The City of Cornwall will receive $589,887 in gas tax money from the province. Next on the list is the City of Clarence-Rockland with $239,885 in gas tax rebate money, followed by Russell Town- ship, which will get $140,310.

Letter: Historian needs help from public For the past two years, I have been researching Cornwall’s House of Refuge’s facility lo- cated on Eleventh Street. What many citizens do not realize is the entire property is a ceme- tery. The main purpose of my research is to discover who is buried in these paupers’graves, and my goal is to have a monument placed on the current property in their memory. Up to now, I have researched 211 of the 906 inmates that, at one time or another, called Cornwall’s House of Refuge home. Now that I have graduated from the University of Ot- tawa where I received my B.A. in History, I have more time to focus on my research. For the next step, I would like to interview people with a connection to the Heartwood Nursing home. This includes: people who had family living in the facility when it was Cornwall’s House of Refuge (no matter how distant the relative may be to you), people who lived in the vicinity, anyone who attended the building while it was St. Michael’s Academy, any teachers, sta", or caretakers that have a connection to the facility when it was Cornwall’s House of Refuge, St. Michael’s Academy or when the building was !rst transformed into a nursing home. I would love to hear your stories. I can be contacted by email at: littlehistorian@live.ca. For further information, you can visit my website: www.saraloveshistory.com.

In addition to being an accomplished public servant, Allaire was also a dedicated community leader and volunteer, giving his time to a number of di"erent causes and organizations.

Jusqu’à tout récemment, Shu Lin et Yu Xuan avaient besoin de 55 jours pour produire une récolte dont les rendements étaient relativement faibles. Ils ont donc commencé à peau!ner leur procédé. Ils ont choisi de cultiver leurs champignons sur de plus petits rondins et ont changé la forme de ces rondins a!n d’améliorer l’absorption des nutriments. Ils ont également rajusté les taux d’humidité lors des principales étapes du processus de croissance. Leurs recher- ches ont porté fruit. Le temps de croissance est maintenant de 15 jours et les coûts de main-d’œuvre et de production sont en chute libre. Mieux encore, les rendements et la qualité ont explosé, tendance qui s’est appliquée aux revenus. Ces innovateurs ont donc retenu l’attention pour ce prix qui couronne l’excellence en agroalimentaire.

Champion Mushrooms Ltd. de Cornwall est au nombre des entreprises de la région qui viennent d’être récompensées du Prix de la première ministre pour l’excellence en innovation agroalimentaire. Grâce à la persévérance des entrepre- neurs Shu Lin et Yu Xuan, les supermarchés locaux pourraient bientôt être en mesure d’o"rir des pleurotes locales à leur clientèle. Jusqu’ici, ce champignon ra%né prove- nait surtout des États-Unis, de l’Europe et de l’Asie. Grâce aux techniques de culture perfectionnées par l’entreprise ontarienne Champion Mushrooms, cela pourrait bi- entôt changer.

Fire Extrication Day 2014
Submitted picture
The St. Lawrence College second-year paramedic students recently spent a day train- ing with the Cornwall Fire Department at their station on Second Street, for Fire Ex- trication Day 2014. For the morning portion, the class was divided into three groups. One group attended safety talks given by "re"ghters in relation to safety while work- ing at motor vehicle accidents, such as air bags, bumper hazards and electric hybrid cars. A second group was familiarized with "re trucks at the station and the appara- tus carried on the vehicles that could be used in extrication and rescue situations. The third group was outside in the parking lot, putting out small propane "res with "re extinguishers and had the opportunity to handle a "re hose as well. “It was a valu- able training day, which we have been doing here with the Cornwall Fire Department for seven years.” said Paramedic program coordinator Daniel Shannon. After lunch with the "re crew, the "re"ghters and paramedic students returned to the parking lot for a staged motor vehicle accident. A donated van and small car were crashed together and paramedic students got to play the roles of trapped victims, bystand- ers and paramedic rescuers. The "re crew then demonstrated how they would assist them by using special power tools to provide access. 30 city employees recognized The City of Cornwall hosted an Employee Recognition Night at the Cornwall Civic Complex on November 14 to honour retirees and long service employees. A total of 30 employees were recognized for having completed 25 years of service or more with the City, while another 28 employees who retired this year were honoured for their produc- tive careers. “We have a committed team of public servants throughout the City pro- viding important services to our residents on a daily basis,” said CAO Norm Levac. “The Employee Recognition Night is a great way to honour these individuals and celebrate our collective success.”

Cold weather and icy conditions can make winter driving difcult. That is why it is so important to properly prepare your vehicle in anticipation of freezing temperatures and the rst snowfalls. Here are 10 steps to follow so that your car is ready for the challenges of winter.
7. Check your tire pressure. The air pressure in your tires can uctuate in cold weather, so it is important to check it on a regular basis. Don’t forget to check the spare tire as well. 8. Check the lighting system. Check to ensure that both front and rear lights, as well as turn signals, are working properly. Replace them if necessary.
1. Change your tires. Winter tires provide better traction on snow and ice and the rubber is more effective in cold weather. Be sure to have them put on as soon as the weather starts getting colder; don’t wait for the rst real snowstorm to do it. 2. Change the oil. Make sure the engine oil you use is suitable for winter use. If it isn’t, change the oil before the weather gets too cold in order to avoid damaging the engine. 3. Add antifreeze. The uid in your radiator should con- tain 50 percent water and 50 percent antifreeze. Use a test kit to ensure that this is the case or check with your mechanic. 4. Check your wipers. Ensure that your wiper blades are in good condition and are not scratch- ing the windshield. Fill up your windshield washer uid reservoir and remember to keep an extra jug in the car; it will come in handy for long road trips.
9. Have your car inspected. Ask a mechanic to check your car’s brakes, spark plugs, sus- pension, and steering. A minor defect could be aggravated by winter conditions, which would then entail higher repair costs. 10. Be prepared for all eventualities. Consider lubricating your locks so they won’t freeze; be sure to have some lock anti-freeze on hand just in case. Prepare a sur- vival kit to keep in your car in case of breakdown or accident. It should contain a rst-aid kit, blanket, warm clothes, food, scissors, ashlight, snow brush, shovel, and booster cables. This kit could save your life.

5. Check the heating system. Ensure that the heater and rear window defroster are both operating properly in order to avoid any unpleasant surprises. 6. Inspect your battery. Ensure that the terminals and battery cables are clean and free of corrosion.

YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED AS WELL! Preparing your car for winter is not enough. You also need to think about adapt- ing your driving to winter conditions and bad weather. Stay further back from the vehicle ahead of you and brake earlier when stopping. Slow down more carefully before turning.
