A travesty for the community of Akwesasne
struggles to obtain his license. Michael is licensed in New York, Ontario, Quebec and holds both federal licenses, US and Canada. He did all his training hours in Ontario on top of those he did in New York. He faced racial discrimination but the worst has been from his own leadership. There is no one else that holds these quali- fications. When you constantly have computer glitches and misplaced checks (by Mohawk Council) how is a person expected to main- tain their objectivity and not to be over- whelmed when his receivables are not received in a timely manner and at the proper payout. The pharmacy will be closing shortly. Michael has no desire to continue in the pharmacy trade because he has been burned by his own (Mohawk Council of terfront committee called this park Lookout Point or Pointe Maligne Lookout. It was being modelled after Blockhouse Is- land on the Brockville waterfront which is a huge draw for that city with it’s easy auto ac- cess offering parkland and river views. Is a condo project with no trespassing signs coming to Lookout Point?Who are these peo- ple on the waterfront committee? Most of the pro-development majority belong to the downtown Heart of the City business group. This means they get high hearing a cash reg- ister’s ka-ching, and have no comprehension of the value of preserving green space and views of the St. Lawrence River. This city and it’s lovely parkland andwater- front belong to us, the ratepayers and resi- dents. It’s time to retake control of it from these moneygrubbers. See you on the 12th!

Pharmacies in Cornwall are already refus- ing to accept prescriptions that are payable by non-insured through Mohawk Council
of Akwesasne because of non-payment. It is time for the people of Akwesasne to voice their concerns in the election this June. You the people can decide what you want for leadership. It is obvious that the current leadership and administration are not work- ing for the benefit of the community.
To the editor:
As the eldest of twelve children born to Margaret Joseph (Harry) Pyke, I am ap- palled at the lack of respect Mohawk Council and it’s administration has shown to my brother Michael (Gus) and O non kwa son a Pharmacy. I watched my brother struggle to finan- cially survive while attending Albany Col- lege of Pharmacy. The financial assistance was not there when he was attending school. He wrote letter to anyone that he felt would send him a donation. It was only the cost of a stamp to receive some assistance. He made bone chokers and sold them in Al- bany. When he was home I would drive him to Plattsburg to catch the bus or Albany if we were too late. The family shared in his The recent City of Cornwall ad about the June 12 waterfront public meetings at the civic complex is incomplete. It said in part “… residents will have a chance to learn more about the City of Corn- wall Waterfront Plan…”. The ad would have been more correct if it added “which has been completely ignored by the present waterfront committee since it took office almost two years ago.” Instead, this committee has promoted a mindless idea to construct a building on the parking lot east of the aquatic centre, which is not in the Waterfront Plan 2007 approved by our community and city council. Worse still, at their first meeting they halted the redevelopment of the high city park east of the marina, which is in the 2007 plan as a place of great river views with easy auto ac- cess for the public year round.
