But it sure does not make it any easier.” “I love you and will love you eternally. Keep that smile shining cuz I know we now have a bright star right above us.” The accident was one of two crashes at the site Thursday evening. A secondary col- lision occurred between a 2004 Toyota Ma- trix and a 2005 Toyota pick-up, according to OPP. The occupants were treated for minor injuries, according to Ontario Provincial Po- lice’s Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry de- tachment. The roadway was closed for approximate- ly seven hours while emergency personnel attended to the scene. SD&G OPP members and technical traffic collision investigators are continuing the investigation, according to OPP. A 22-year-old South Stormont man is dead after a two-vehicle collision on County Road 2 west of Cornwall Thursday evening. Nicholas Baker was killed when his 2006 Saturn veered into the oncoming lane and collided with a 2008 Ford Explorer near Ault Park, just west of Guindon Park at the edge of Cornwall city limits. The 53-year-old driver of the Explorer re- ceived minor injuries in the 6 p.m. crash, ac- cording to SD&G OPP. “Nicholas enjoyed sports, played pond hockey in the winters and achieved a red stripe in Taekwondo,”read an obituary post- ed on the website of Wilson Funeral Home in Cornwall. “He was a young man who enjoyed life and greatly valued family.

Jean Lecompte was questioned about the controversial 2008 bylaw mandating bi- lingual signs by English rights activist How- ard Galganov during a presentation to the Cornwall-based Language Fairness for All advocacy group. “Absolutely not. I don’t agree with that law that they have. I don’t agree with that law,” said Lecompte, president of the Soci- ety for the Promotion of Bilingualism, when singled out of the audience by Galganov. Lecompte has since told The Journal that he misunderstood Galganov’s question during the public meeting attended by about 30 people i at the South Stormont Township hall. “I got hooked on the word (sic) ‘English is illegal’,” Lecompte said in an interview Fri- day, stressing he has always supported the Russell Township bylaw. Lecompte listened attentively, occasion- ally taking notes, as Galganov railed last Wednesday about the Russell Township by- law, official bilingualism and the erosion of English-language rights in Quebec. “I’m tired, I’m fed up and I’m angry. I’ve never in my life had a racist bone in my body, but it’s getting very, very hard,” he lamented just minutes before engaging Lecompte over the Russell Township bylaw. He apologized to Lecompte for “vitriol” GREG KIELEC greg.kielec@eap.on.ca By Greg Kielec greg.kielec@eap.on.ca Cornwall police have issued a rare public warning after a convicted pedophile was recently released following a stint in jail. Police have issued a photo and descrip- tion of 58-year-old Michel Joseph Maybury “in the interest of community safety.” Special photo Maybury just served seven months for breaking an order banning him from be- ing in an area where children may be pres- ent, as well as com- mitting an indecent act, according to Cornwall police.

Maybury is 5’7”, 169 lbs, with short brown hair and green eyes. He is subject to numerous conditions as a result of a court-ordered prohibition that includes: Not to attend a public park, pub- lic swimming area where persons under 16-years-old are present or expected to be present, or daycare centre, school ground, playground or community centre. Not to use a computer to communicate with person under 16-years-old. “Maybury will be residing within the com- munity and the Cornwall Community Police Service is advising the public to use caution at all times and to practice sound crime pre- vention and safety measures at all times,” Cornwall police wrote in a press release. “The Cornwall Community Police Service will continue to closely monitor the condi- tions of this release in an ongoing effort to ensure public safety and security.“ There are a number of ways in which city residents can reduce the risk of being a vic- tim: Walk assertively and in well-lit areas. Avoid being alone if you can. Walk in the centre of the sidewalk, away from alleys and doorways. If you suspect you are being followed, cross the street, go to the nearest home, a service station or a business and call the police. Be aware of your surroundings and avoid areas that increase your chances of being a victim, such as unlit areas of parks, vacant land and parking lot.) Report problems to the police.

Galganov recently mounted a cam- paign to pressure Ontario municipali- ties to pass “free- dom of expression resolutions guaran- teeing business owners the right to display signs in the language of their choice. South Stormont council was the first to pass such a resolution on Sept. 26. Gal- ganov said he will urge South Glengarry ter the LFA meet- ing ridiculing the South Stormont resolution, said he is against the measure because it allows for signs in languages “I got hooked on the word (sic) ‘English is illegal’.” other than French and English. “I don’t really support it. We should nur- ture our own official languages,” he said Fri- day, warning such measures could lead to a country of linguistic “tribes”. NEWS City woman who gave birth in jail reunited with her baby RE/MAX CORNWALL REALTY INC. REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE • INDEPENDENTLY OWNED & OPERATED 649 Second St. East, Cornwall ON Office: 613 938-8100 www.REMAX-CORNWALL.ca A Cornwall woman who was forced to give birth in an Ottawa jail cell has been re- leased to be reunited with her baby. Julie Bilotta,as released by Superior Court Justice Johanne Lafrance-Cardinal during a court hearing in Cornwall Thursday after- noon under strict conditions on $10,000 bail. The decision allowed Bilotta to go to an Ottawa halfway house operated by the Elizabeth Fry Society where she could be reunited with her three-week-old son. Bilotta gave birth to the boy Sept. 29 without medical assistance at the Ottawa- Carleton Detention Centre after she was denied bail Sept. 26 after breaching her re- lease conditions on drug and fraud charges. At the time, her mother Kim Hurtubise, said she was assured by the court her preg- nant daughter would received proper care behind bars. Instead, Bilotta prematurely delivered her baby on the floor of a segre- gation cell after she said guards ignored her pleas for help. The 26-year-old Bilotta, sporting a pink Lululemon jacket and black yoga pants, stood attentively in the prisoner’s docket as defense lawyer Don Johnson briefed the court on a deal reached with the crown pav- ing the way for her release. She softly responded “yes, I do”when Laf- rance-Cardinal asked if she understood her release conditions. She then turned to wave to her mother Kim Hurtubise and forced a smile as she was led out of the courtroom. “Everyone in this room is convinced this is the proper place to go,” said Lafrance –Car- dinal before agreeing to release Bilotta to an Ottawa halfway house operated by the Elizabeth Fry Society. Outside the courthouse, Hurtubise said she was thankful for the support of the Elizabeth Fry Society, which took on Bilot- ta’s cause after word she was forced to give Pilon Point • $329,000 MLS J0565 Cozy open concept 1 or 2 BR Riverfront home.

She said her daughter had recently been harassed by someone from Cornwall, so as much as she would like to have back home, Ottawa is the best place for her now. “I feel my daughter will be in a safe place. I’m just thankful they (Bilotta and her baby) are both okay.” Asked if she feels Bilotta’s recent brushes with the justice and correction system will set her on a new path in life, she was quick to point out that Bilotta has only been charged – “she still hasn’t been convicted.” But she does feel the Ottawa halfway house will likely be beneficial to her daugh- ter. “I think it will be a great place to have any counseling she may need.” Cornwall resident Julie Bilotta is pictured in this MySpace photo. She was released to a halfway house Thursday to be with her newborn soon to whom she gave birth in an Ottawa jail cell Sept. 29. ✄ ✄ ✄ 381ELLEN Markellbuiltraisedbungalow-3+1 bedrooms, 2fullbathrooms, largerecroomwithgasfireplace,doubleattachedgarage,paved driveway,andprivatebasemententranceforIn-LawSuite. 6400 LE DOMAINE RD Estatesetting,ONEOFAKINDlargebungalow,3 bedrooms,2+1bathroom,extralargedoublegarage,and somuchmore.AMUSTSEE!!

Review passport tendering: Mayor “As such, the passport should be produced in Canada, and Columbia Finishing Mills has been a key partner in ensuring that Canadian content was there in the past. “ To the editor: In June, the Conservatives chose to make significant cuts to the Canadian Food In- spection Agency in the omnibus budget bill. Liberals voted against these cuts because Canadians deserve to feel confident that their food supply is protected just as our farmers and ranchers deserve safe and sta- ble business. On Sept. 3, a shipment of beef from an XL Foods facility in Brooks, Alta. was found by U.S. food inspectors to be contaminated with E. coli 0157 – the same pathogen re- sponsible for seven deaths and more than 2,300 illnesses in Walkerton, Ont. From the time that U.S. inspectors noti- Editors note: The following letter has been sent to Canadian Prime Stephen Harperre- garding the loss of contract by a city firm to produce covers for Canadian passports. Dear Mr. Harper: There has been a strong negative reaction to the government of Canada’s recent de- cision to award a contract for the produc- tion of Canadian Passport covers to a new company, one that wil see production shift overseas. Canadian Passport Covers are currently being manufactured in Cornwall by Colum- bia Finishing Mills, a Canadian company owned by Canadians. It is my understanding the loss of the passport contract will result in the loss of jobs at Columbia Finishing Mills, and poten- tially mean that machines will sit idle and essary legal travel document. Passports are, to many Canadians, the only concrete and physical evidence of their citizenship, and their inclusion in what many people consider to be the best country in the world. As such, the passport should be produced in Canada, and Colum- bia Finishing Mills has been a key partner in ensuring that Canadian content was there in the past. A review of the tender decision should consider this question, and take into account the expectations of Canadians. Most would agree, we believe that a few cents is more than an acceptable price to pay for Canadian content, especially when costs of production can be covered in the document fee itself.

Antagonizing the opposition parties only to find they may join together and re- act. Solution - prorogue all parliament op- erations. Denial of Afghanistan prisoners turned over for probable torture thinning and shredding. Prorogue all parliament op- erations again. Dismantling the established long- form census, coinciding with the passing of a new tough-on-crime bill to implement one-size-fits-all sentencing where the aver- age cost per offender is estimated to rise from $2,600 to $41,000.

This years’ edition of ARTpreneur will also include a panel of successful local and re- gional artists who will share their stories of success and failure and discuss the ups and downs of operating an arts based business. “Success is out there waiting for us to seize it and move forward”, said Pollard. “Artists can and should learn from each oth- er and there is no better way to do it than to spend a day together listening, discussing, networking and learning.

In that time, the U.S. Food Safety and In- spection Service had already delisted the Brooks facility from exporting meat to the United States. It took another 10 days before the XL plant was closed. The recall grew into the largest meat re- call in Canadian history, spanning all prov- inces and territories, plus 41 states. In the meantime, at least 10 people fell ill, including a young girl who went into kid- ney failure. Conservative messaging that everything is fine is cold comfort to those who are sick or were exposed to E. coli. No one wants to see Canadians get sick from eating tainted meat – so why are the Conservatives supporting cuts that remove vital resources from food safety profession- als and creating a space where the industry is responsible for more and more of its self- regulation? Waiting for Canadians to get sick is not a food safety strategy. Liberals support our scientists and pro- fessionals who are on the front line of food safety and call on Conservatives to do the same.

Those who know Pollard describe her as being very dedicated and positive. “Success to me means being able to enjoy doing what I do with people I enjoy spend- ing time with,” Pollard said. “Working with children is fun.” “I would like to think that over the years I helped youngsters gain confidence and self discipline through dance.

He always had a positive outlook and rarely ever com- plained, even though he was in pain a good part of the time.” “Both he and my mom raised me to ap- preciate what I have and make the best of it no matter what.” There are never enough hours in the day for Pollard to do everything she wants to ac- complish. Her busy schedule also entails working closely with entrepreneurs, doing one-on- one business coaching, assisting with busi- ness plan development, and helping up- and-coming young entrepreneurs through programs such as Summer Company. In her spare time, she enjoys reading mys- teries, or watching musicals. “My taste in music is pretty varied be- cause of dance,” she said, adding she would have loved to have met either Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly. “They were fantastic dancers and I have always loved their movies.” Candy Pollard sits in her office at the Corn- wall Business Enterprise Centre and remi- nisces about her childhood growing up in the Seaway City. The business consultant looks out over Lamoureux Park along the city’s waterfront, and seeing the bandshell, she is reminded of the first time she got on stage for a dance recital. At that point, she was hooked. Pollard has spent the majority of her adult life teaching dance and she still loves it. Born and raised in a small family, the Corn- wall native started dancing, at the urged of her doctor, when she was four years old. “I was born with club feet, and had to wear brown boots until I was four years old,” said Pollard. “At that point I was able to begin to wear Special photo normal shoes but my feet were still a little twisted and the doctor suggested that my par- ents start me in dance of some sort – High- land or ballet.” “Since my grandfa- ther was raised in Glen- garry the choice was Highland.” “Success to me means being able to enjoy doing what I do with people I enjoy spending time with.” Candy Pollard of the Cornwall Business Enterprise Centre in Cornwall. INTRODUCING NEW Introduction au nouveau Throughout her childhood Pollard was involved with Glen Productions mainly as a dancer and member of the chorus. She eventually started ballet, jazz, tap and even baton and it became her passion. She later choreographed a number of shows and even tried her hand at direct- ing. It was a natural progression to begin teaching when she was in her late teens, and eventually she opened a dance studio, Studio “C”Dance School. “That was 22 years ago,” she explains. “My daughter Alanna and I teach many classes, and my husband Mike does all the paper- work and bookkeeping, keeping things or- ganized and running smoothly.” Using her artistic flair, Pollard even de- signed and sewed costumes, and also op- erated a costume company along with her daughter for about six years. Her company fabricated costumes for dance groups from different parts of Ontario, and as far away as Calgary and New Brunswick. of Cornwall www.bobcatofcornwall.com YOU’RE INVITED TO OUR OPEN HOUSE Vous êtes invité(e)s à une JOURNÉE PORTE UVERTE le jeudi 1 er nove r au Thursday, November 1 st ~ ALL DAY ~ 2935 Copeland St., Cornwall 613-932-2034 Glen Walter death not suspicious By Greg Kielec noon that there was an “ongoing investiga- tion” into the death on Page Drive.

OFFRE DE RABAIS INSTANTANÉ INSTANT REBATE OFFER NEWS Akwesasne awarded $5M in land claims deal with feds TheMohawk Council of Akwesasne will re- ceive $5 million from the federal govern- ment to settle a land claim stretching back almost 200 years ago. John Duncan, minister of Aboriginal Af- fairs and Northern Development, joined Grand Chief Mike Kanentakeron Mitchell of the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne and community members at a ceremony last Wednesday, to commemorate the final set- tlement of a specific claim dating back to the 1820s. “This historic agreement shows that ne- gotiations deliver results when there is a firm resolve on both sides to find a solution,” said Minister Duncan. “We look forward to building on our strong relationship with Akwesasne as we continue to work together on shared pri- orities, such as economic development and creating the conditions for healthier, more self-sufficient First Nation communities.” Mitchell said the agreement will provide a solid foundation for Akwesasne’s future relations with the government. “We are pleased that a past wrong to our people has now been corrected,” said Mitchell. “Throughout the negotiations, it was im- portant that we worked together to resolve this claim fairly, expeditiously and in the context of respect and good will that now serves as a foundation for our future rela- tionship.” “We look forward to working together in resolving larger land claims that involve Ak- wesasne.” LEASED LANDS The Kawehnoke specific claim related to lands leased on Kawehnoke (Cornwall Island) between 1820 and 1934. As all the leased lands currently are part of the Akwe- sasne Reserve, the focus of the negotiations was on financial compensation only. In February 2012, Canada and the MCA concluded negotiations on a proposed set- tlement to resolve the claim. MCAmembers voted to approve the proposed settlement on May 26, 2012, and about 95 per cent voted in favour. The Government of Canada approved the proposed settlement in Sep- tember 2012. Canada and the MCA have also made progress in their joint work in other areas. This includes renewing an important politi- cal protocol on May 31, 2012, and achieving a key milestone in their ongoing self-gov- ernment negotiations. The political protocol sets out how the parties will continue to work together in partnership on key issues for the benefit of the community.

The Colts looked like they were on their way to an easy evening in Cornwall, after taking a 3-0 lead in the first period Thurs- day. They saw their lead evaporate to one goal in the second period, and then disap- pear after three unanswered goals by Pem- broke, despite taking a two-goal lead early in the third. Marly Quince knotted with the Colts’ net- minder pulled with just 32 seconds left in the game. But a Billy Ulrick charging pen- alty with just 10 seconds left in regulation proved to be the Colts undoing. In the en- suring power play, Pembroke scored a well set up one-timer to win the game in over- time. Quince led the Colts’ scoring with two goals to bookend scoring in the third peri- od. Nicholas Santoro, Sean King and Ulrick rounded out the scoring with two-point nights. Colts netminder Jordan Piccolino made 40 saves on 46 shots in the loss. Darren Smith turned away 26 of 31 shots for the Pembroke victory. On Friday night, Pembroke’s special teams proved too much for the Colts as the Lum- ber Kings cruised to 6-1 victory. The Lumber Kings scored two goals in each period, three of them on the power play and one while shorthanded. Jordan Larson led the Lumber Kings with two goals, including an unassisted short- handed marker early in the first period. Colts’ scoring leader Roman Ammirato had the lone goal for Cornwall for 25 points so far on the season. Piccolino allowed four goals on 12 shots for the loss. James Edwardson stopped 36 of 38 shots in relief. The Colts’ next home game is Thursday at 7:30 p.m. against the Smith Falls Bears. GREG KIELEC greg.kielec@eap.on.ca It took extra time for the Cornwall Colts to settle another one of their games, this time against the Carleton Place Canadians on Sunday afternoon. The Colts beat the Canadians 4-3 in over- time after the home Carleton Place team scored three unanswered goals – their final one with the goalie pulled with 53 seconds left – to send the game to extra time. Kevin Hope was the overtime hero, giving the Colts the victory just 1:29 into overtime to snap the Colts two-game winless skid racked up with back-to-back losses Thurs- day and Friday. Also scoring for the Colts was newly re- turned Mitch Zion, Billy Ulrick and Michael Pontarelli. James Edwardson earned the win, stopping 26 of 29 shots between the pipes. Four of the Colts past six games stretch- ing a 12-day period fromOct. 10 to this past Sunday have been settled in overtime or a subsequent shootout. The win moves the Colts back over the .500 mark with nine wins, seven regulation losses and two losses in overtime, good enough for third place in the Robinson Di- vision and seventh place overall. They trail the league leading Smith Falls Bears – who they meet in Cornwall on Thursday -- by five points. The win reversed a short slide by the Colts after the Pembroke Lumber Kings notched them Thursday evening in overtime, and then routed them the following night in Pembroke. The Colts were outscored 12 to six and outshot 96 to 58 in the back-to-back losses to the CCHL Yzerman Division leaders. Campagne À votre santé!

Thank you fans!” Ontario Liberals have reopened the East- ern Ontario Development Fund, helping attract investment and creating more jobs to the region, says MPP Brad Duguid. The fund will help small businesses in the Ottawa Region and across Eastern Ontario expand their workforce, buy state-of-the- art equipment, and help them compete and win in the new global economy. Since 2008, it has leveraged over $595 million in private sector investment while creating or retaining over 13,200 jobs. The fund is open to businesses in rural commu- nities and small towns that have at least five employees and invest more than $200,000. Projects that invest at least $10 million and create more than 50 jobs are also eligible. Development fund re-opened for region ond of the season. Cornwall took a 3-0 lead in the second pe- riod on goals by Meloche and Alex Bourret. Trois-Rivieres got a goal from Stephane Boileau with less than a second to go in the frame to make it 3-1. Trois-Rivières scored two unanswered goals in the third to send the game to over- time. The tying goal came on the power play with just 19 seconds left. In overtime, the River Kings’ Pierre-Luc Faubert sealed the win with a goal at 3:22 into the extra period. The River Kings take on Jonquiere this Saturday at home and face Trois-Rivières on the road Sunday at 4 p.m. Cornwall fans got their first regular season glimpse of The Cornwall River Kings Sat- urday night, and the home team did not disappoint. The semi-pro River Kings from the North American Hockey League won a thriller in overtime, 4-3 over Trois-Rivières in front of more than 4,100 fans Saturday night “That’s the biggest crowd to ever watch a hockey game in Cornwall! Thank you fans!” the Cornwall River Kings tweeted exuberan- lty shortly after the historic milestone. The River Kings led 1-0 after the first thanks in large part to goalie Loic Lacasse’s 18 saves. The goal was scored by former Colts snip- er Eric Meloche, who played 23 games with the National Hockey League’s Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2001-02 season before wrapping up his pro career with the Phila- delphia Flyers in 2006-07.

The Day of the Dead can always be observed by organizing a costume party at home. Everyone can get out their fanciest costumes, some of which are probably inspired by traditional Halloween characters such as vampires, witches, monsters and ghosts. You could also choose to organize a thematic evening, perhaps involving pirates, the 1980’s or even a gangster theme — certain to please men. E C For an evening of horror, dim the lights and create an evil atmosphere with appropriate decorations, skulls, suspended bats and spider webs. A murder mystery dinner could be just the thing for Halloween. Everyone impersonates a different character for the evening. However, if you prefer an evening without a meal, avoid playing overly cheerful music. Instead, choose heavy metal or atmospheric sounds. You could also rent or buy a selection of horror movies that could certainly help to set the evening’s tone. You could watch them as a group or just let them play in the background. Don’t forget that for a more animated evening, a lot of restaurants and bars organize electrifying Halloween evenings every year. This is the perfect occasion to dust off your most original costume ideas or consider making a team costume that is sure to attract attention. Seeing as how a lot of costume competitions are organized for this occasion, try to dream up something totally original to dazzle the crowd and win the big prize.
