Local MP Guy Lauzon is not unbeatable, says the federal Liberal party’s deputy leader Ralph Goodale. The Conservative MP for Stormont- Dundas-South Glengarry was re- turned to Parlia- ment for the fourth time on May 2, 2011, garnering a whopping 20,000 more votes than Liberal candidate Bernadette Clement. But Goodale, speaking to The Journal af- ter an address at the Liberal party’s Red Leaf Dinner in Cornwall on Thursday, said that Lauzon is not invincible. “From my experience, no political party or particular candidate has a monopoly in any

A sex offender who Cornwall police re- cently warned the public about has been re-arrested. Michel Joseph Maybury, 58, of Cornwall, was arrested by city police’s sexual assault and child abuse unit Nov. 6, two days after he was spotted at a restaurant near a chil- dren’s play area. He was under a lifetime order prohibiting him from being near any area where chil- dren under the age of 14 are present. He has been charged with two counts of breach of a probation order, according to Cornwall police. Police released a rare public warning that Maybury was living in Cornwall, including a picture and physical description of him on Oct. 17, “in the interest of community safety”. “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. Maybury had 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 committing an indecent act, when Cornwall police issued the warning. He has convictions that date back to 1974 that include robbery, armed robbery, per- sonating a peace officer and a variety of historic sexual offences relating to children. He is being held in custody after being denied bail last week. He is expected to ap- pear in court again on Thursday.

a bunch of thugs and they run roughshod over anyone who gets in their way,” he said. Goodale was asked to reveal his preferred candidate for new leader of the federal Lib- erals during a question and answer session after his address, but was politely demure in his response. It wouldn’t be proper for him to reveal his favourite this early in the process - out of fairness as party deputy leader -- but he said he may throw his support behind a candidate later in the leadership campaign. He stressed the Liberal party must ensure the leadership contest is “not just a beauty contest and a horse race”, imploring local Liberals to challenge candidates and ask them “tough questions” before deciding upon a leader. Only Justin Trudeau has officially declared his candidacy for the race which will culmi-
nate April 14, 2013 in Ottawa, but there are three or four members of the Liberal caucus that may enter the race and a number of other Liberal supporters from across Cana- da who may run. Goodale said that Trudeau is the type of person who instantly creates “a buzz” when he walks into a room. “He’s got the sizzle.” And for the son of one of Canada’s most memorable prime ministers, the late Pierre Elliott Trudeau, that’s “a huge political as- set”, Goodale said. But the young Trudeau also must demon- strate that he has the substance to back up his celebrity, he said. Ralph Goodale, deputy leader of the Lib- eral Party of Canada, pauses during a speech at the annual Red Leaf Dinner in Cornwall Thursday night.

an dollar may have been too much for Tele- performance to remain competitive. He also said an oversaturation of third- party call centres in Cornwall could be to blame. “I know we were beyond the satura- tion point,” he told The Journal. With the closure of Teleperformance, the city will have lost close to 500 call cen- tre jobs since StarTek Canada drastically trimmed its workforce early last year. But two new call centres in the past few years – one operated by the federal government and the other by Scotiabank – have helped offset the job losses, Boileau said. Just two days after news of the Cornwall call centre’s impending closure, Teleper- formance’s CEO told shareholders the of about six per cent on a like-for-like basis and confirm that we will achieve a solid EBI- TA ( ĞĂƌŶŝŶŐƐ ďĞĨŽƌĞ ƚŚĞ ĚĞĚƵĐƟŽŶ ŽĨ ŝŶƚĞƌ - ĞƐƚ͕ ƚĂdžĂŶĚĂŵŽƌƟnjĂƟŽŶĞdžƉĞŶƐĞƐͿ͘ margin,” Daniel Julien said in his Nov. 8 report.

Seeking to provide intermediate students with greater athletic opportunities, the Upper Canada District School Board will launch a separate sports league this fall. While Board schools will still participate with organizations such as the Leeds- Grenville Elementary School Athletic Asso- ciation, the Board has decided to create its own league this year to supplement compe- titions hosted by regional bodies. The new Upper Canada Sports Council, designed for grades 7 and 8 students, will be limited to UCDSB schools and will run a variety of sports activities beginning with volleyball, basketball and track and field competitions. The goal is not to supplant current sport- ing organizations, but to supplement what they offer so our students benefit, said Su- perintendent David Coombs. “What is the purpose of sports and ex- tracurriculars?” Coombs asked a recent or- ganizational meeting in Kemptville at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. “We think it’s greater than coaching or playing on suc- cessful teams. We think it’s about belong- ing, equity and inclusion, so we’re not afraid to innovate and try something different.” The goal is to provide a higher level of competition for intermediate students in athletics and to provide grassroots devel- opment for coaching, student skill level, and officiating of sports. The game plan is to hold an Upper Can- ada volleyball championship in December, an Upper Canada basketball championship in March and an Upper Canada track and field championship in June. There will be competitions for both girls and boys, and the Board is even considering including both A and B-level teams in regional com- petitions leading up to the championships so that more students can participate. Schools can still participate in events with LGESAA and other groups should they choose, said Trish Brown, principal at Tagwi Secondary School who is leading the initia- tive with Ron Ferguson, vice-principal at Al- monte District High School. “This is not in any way an attempt to un- dermine, or change or alter anything that is going on at our schools now that’s really awesome and good,” explained Brown. “We want to push it and extend it here so we can energize our kids and take sport to a new level.” UCDSB launches new sports council Robyn Guindon Pharmacie Ltée.

Person injured after car smashes into storefront
GREG KIELEC greg.kielec@eap.on.ca
At least one person was injured when a car rammed into the front of the Shoppers Drug Mart store on Brookdale Avenue shortly after noon on Saturday. A burgundy Chevy Cavalier jumped the sidewalk in front of the store striking one shopping basket with such force that its crumpled undercarriage was driven under- neath the cement blocks at the base of the store’s façade. The violence of the collision was evi- denced by shattered glass littering the sidewalk and blood stains on the sidewalk near the front wheel at the drivers’-side of the car. Police confirmed that at least one person was taken to Cornwall Community Hospital. Officers from the Cornwall police’s forensics and traffic units were investigating. A distraught woman stood at the back of a police cruiser with a city police offi- cer as members of the traffic and forsenics unit took photos and measurements at the scene. No more information was available as of press time Monday. The South Nation Conservation’s Water Response Team has lifted the Level 1 Low Water Condition for the entire South Na- tion Conservation jurisdiction. South Nation Conservation staff reviewed rainfall, streamflow, and water level condi- tions, and in conjunction with the Water Re- sponse Team, made the decision to lift Level I Low Water Condition, according to a press release from SNC. The Water Response Team, created under the Ontario Low Water Response program, includes representatives from provincial and municipal governments, agriculture, business, and other special interest groups. Over the past five months, stream flows throughout the watershed showed signs of potential water supply problems. SNC’s Water Response Team was respon- sible for encouraging voluntary water con- servation. Normal rainfall over the past couple of months have increased stream flows in the watershed, allowing SNC to lift the condi- tion. But the SNC continues to encourage residents to use water wisely. The South Nation River begins at its head- water streams near Brockville and gathers water from as far away as Maxville to the east, and the city of Ottawa to the west, be- fore it empties into the Ottawa River near Plantagenet.

Fire department unveils new aerial truck By Greg Kielec greg.kielec@eap.on.ca
The latest addition to the Cornwall Fire Department looks like a million dollars. In fact, that is also the price tag for a new aerial ladder truck purchased by the city. Fire officials, along with Cornwall Mayor Bob Kilger, were on hand to show off im- pressive piece of firefighting equipment Wednesday afternoon in the parking lot of St. Peter’s Church on Second Street East. “This new truck supports our efforts to build a safer community by equipping our firefighters with the necessary tools to help keep us safe,”said Kilger, who got a lift in the bucket of the new ladder truck. The truck features an all-aluminum lad- der which stretches 100 feet, five feet more than the department’s 2006 model, said acting fire chief Richard McCullough. “It will reach any building in Cornwall.” The truck’s body is also fabricated from lightweight aluminum which is also rust re- sistant. The base truck was priced at $925,000. Additional options totaling $75,000 bring the total cost to $1 million, McCullough said. The purchase is being financed over 10 years. “The purchase of this new aerial fire truck

Hundreds pay tribute to fallen troops in Cornwall
Hundreds of people gathered to remem- ber the fallen during a Remembrance Day ceremony at the Cornwall cenotaph on Sunday morning. Among those laying wreaths at the Sec- ond Street West war memorial were Corn- wall Mayor Bob Kilger, Stormont-Dundas- South Glengarry MP Guy Lauzon and Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry MPP Jim McDonell. Although it had rained earlier in the morning, the skys cleared and the sun broke through and the crowd gathered to pay homage to those who have fallen to protect their freedom. Local poppy fund campaign chair Ron Racine, speaking before the laying of the wreaths, praised area residents for their support of veterans. “To all of you who are here today, I thank you.” Area residents also took part in a ceremo- ny near Morrisburg on Sunday to mark the 199th anniversary of a key military victory in Canadian history -- the Battle of Crysler’s Farm. Described by former MPP and local his- torian as “The Other November 11th”, the ceremony was held at the Crysler Battlefied Park, adjacent to Upper Canada Village.

Cornwall Colts blanked by the Bears in Smiths Falls

the Robinson. The Colts now have 12 wins and nine losses for a .563 win percentage. The Colts had roared back at home the previous night to defeat the Hawkesbury Hawks 3-2. Penalty trouble came back to haunt the Hawks as the Colts scored all their goals on the powerplay in what was a rough and tumble affair at the Ed Lumley Arena. The Hawks were penalized for 31 minutes on 10 infractions, more than double the Colts’ 14 minutes on seven infractions. Trent Durocher got the Colts on the score- board late in the second during a two-man advantage to narrow Hawkesbury’s lead to 2-1. Michael Pontarelli tied the game 11 min- utes in the third and Sean King put the Colts ahead for good five minutes later. Carl Belazario and Michael Pontarelli both had two-point nights for the Colts. James Edwardson earned the win with 23 saves on 25 shots. Carmine Guerriero made 45 saves in a losing effort for the Hawkes- bury Hawks. The Colts hit the ice at 7:30 p.m. on Thurs- day at the Ed Lumley Arena to face off against the Bears.
It was bad news for the Cornwall Colts in Smiths Falls Friday night. The Colts lost to the tune of 5-0 to the powerhouse Bears. But the Colts will have a chance to avenge the drubbing when they host the league leaders Thursday night at the Ed Lumley Arena. Colts fell apart in the third period, allowing five unanswered goals despite outshooting the Bears 13 to 11 in the final frame. Patrick Sexton of the Bears broke the scoreless draw 6:02 into the third period and Conner McLaren put the home team up 2-0 10:51 into the final frame with a power- play marker. Jeffrey Carroll added one at the 13:55 mark and Daniele Disipio scored two in less than a minute to complete the rout. Patrick Martin earned the win for the Bears with 28 saves for the shutout. Jordan Piccolino allowed five goals on 35 shots for the loss. The loss leaves the Colts eight points be- hind the Bears and five points behind the Carleton Place Canadians in third place in

The Cornwall & The Counties Arts and Cul- ture Council recently held its first official board meeting and elected its executive. Members of the new executive are: Chair Stephen Davies, Vice-Chair Sandra Vander Veer, Secretary Betty Healy and Treasurer Chuck Leclair. “This initial step signals an important move forward for the arts and culture coun- cil and its ability to serve the arts and cul- ture sector,” said Bruce Davis, culture devel- opment co-ordinator. “Electing an executive has given them structure and methodology and that’s im- portant for any organization that hopes to advance in a positive and productive way.” The council’s members can now begin to examine governance and bylaws required to keep them on course and moving forward. At motion was made at the recent meet- ing by the new board of directors to have the SDG Community Futures Development Corporation provide some basic templates as well as have the council itself provide some of their own suggestions and ideas of how best to enact governance and bylaws. “They have given us our first tasks as staff and that’s what this exercise is all about” said François Désormeaux, executive direc- tor of the SD&G CFDC,. This will be a collaborative exercise where input from the SD&G CFDC and the arts and culture council will be addressed and heard. “We just want to ensure they head in the right direction,” said Davis. The council plans on rolling up its sleeves and getting to work. “I don’t want to waste two months” Richard Salem, one of the di- rectors for the arts & culture council clearly stated at the board meeting, echoing the over all sentiment and urgency that there is much work to do and that the council should begin work as soon as possible.

ÛiLiÀÊÃÊ7>ÊLÕÃiÊ*ÀiÛiÌÊ Ì \Ê,iëiVÌvÕÊ VÌÃÊ >Ê->ÛiÊ>Ê7>ÊÀÊLÕÃi November is Woman Abuse Prevention Month – a month to focus on pre- venting violence against women. Think it’s none of your business? Well, most Ontarians feel a personal responsibility to stop woman abuse. In fact, as individuals, and as a community, we have a responsibility to prevent fam- ily violence. However, the first step is to recognize important warning signs. Does he put her down? ... check up on her all the time? … try to keep her away from friends and family? Often it’s up to us. Neighbours, friends, and co-workers must play a key role to end violence against women. It is not an easy thing to do – but, may mean the difference between life and death. If you are concerned about someone you know, speak to her privately. Tell her you are worried and want to help. Tell her that you believe her – and that it is not her fault. Emphasize that violence is never appropriate or deserved or something that “just happened”. Ask her what she needs. Sometimes just talking about it - bringing the issue into the light of day - will help a woman feel less isolated and alone. That can go a long way to breaking down the barriers of embarrassment, secrecy, and shame. Help her get the assistance and resources she may require. Taking steps to prevent woman abuse is everyone’s business.

ANH KHOI DO anhkhoi.do@eap.on.ca Réunion d’anciens combattants à Cornwall
Denis Labbé, le président de Friends of Veterans à Cornwall, tente de rejoindre les anciens militaires des Forces armées canadiennes en tournant un documentaire. Celui-ci, qui s’intitule Brisons le silence , sortira en avril 2013 et permettra au public de découvrir le visage des vétérans, nous dit-il. Afin de souligner ce virage dans son projet qui dure depuis plus d’un an, M. Labbé et ses associés de Friends of Veterans, un organisme de soutien pour les anciens militaires et leur famille, ont tenu leur premier souper de financement à l’édifice de l’Aviation royale canadienne à Cornwall. Le but du documentaire Brisons le silence est de présenter des vétérans qui expliquent les dessous de leur vie après leur carrière militaire. Cet événement a aussi permis à M. Labbé de présenter le réalisateur de Brisons le silence , Vincent Pilon. Cet ancien directeur de la Galerie d’art contemporain de Cornwall prévient que Brisons le silence ne prétend pas vouloir instruire les gens sur la vie post-militaire des vétérans. « En tournant Brisons le silence , j’ai remarqué que la perception des Canadiens à l’égard des vétérans commence à changer, déclare-t-il. Ce film ne leur apprendra pas nécessairement des nouvelles choses. Il leur montrera comment des vétérans vivent avec un stress post-traumatique et les stigmates sociaux associés à l’instabilité mentale. » Pour sa part, Peter Stoffer, le critique du Nouveau parti démocratique (NPD) en

Denis Labbé, le président de l’organisme Friends of Veterans, prononce une allocution sur la raison d’être du documentaire Bri- sons le silence et les problèmes que rencontrent les anciens combattants après leur carrière militaire.
Affaires des vétérans, voit en l’initiative de Friends of Veterans une tentative de rejoindre les vétérans qui vivent dans le déni. « Quand beaucoup de Canadiens pensent aux vétérans, dit ce député de la Nouvelle- Écosse, ils pensent tout de suite aux soldats de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale (1939- 1945) et de la Guerre de Corée (1950- 1953). Nos plus jeunes vétérans reviennent d’Afghanistan, sont âgés dans la vingtaine
et ignorent qu’ils sont des vétérans. » En ne se déclarant pas comme des vétérans, ajoute M. Stoffer, ces jeunes ex-militaires se privent de services auxquels ils ont droit. Les problèmes gouvernementaux L’événement se tenait alors que le Canada s’apprêtait à commémorer le Jour du souvenir. Durant le souper-spaghetti, les intervenants invités, en l’occurrence MM. Labbé et Stoffer, Mike Blais et le conseiller
municipal Syd Gardiner, ont tenté de souligner les obstacles qu’affrontent les vétérans lorsqu’ils tentent d’obtenir de l’aide du gouvernement. Peter Stoffer déplore le fait qu’un vétéran se fait balancer d’un département à l’autre lorsqu’il téléphone au ministère des Anciens Combattants du Canada.
CHOD FM 92,1 arrivera bientôt à Casselman
Il ne reste plus qu’à l’équipe d’aller chercher l’argent nécessaire pour concrétiser le projet évalué à 300 000 $. «Pour le moment, de dire M. Charbonneau, le gouvernement fédéral nous a donné la moitié, soit 150 000 $. Je ne suis pas inquiet pour l’autre moitié.» Rien n’est encore décidé quant à l’emplacement du studio de radio. Cependant, tout porte à croire qu’il aura pi- gnon sur rue dans le village même de Cas- selman. De plus, l’équipe de CHOD FM 92,1 ne conclura pas le projet d’expansion de la sta- tion radiophonique avant un an. «Le pire est fait, ajoute Marc Charbonneau. On devrait entendre CHOD FM à Casselman d’ici un an si ce n’est pas avant. On est proche de l’objectif.»
ANNIE LAFORTUNE annie.lafortune@eap.on.ca
CHOD FM 92,1, la seule station francophone privée de Cornwall et de l’Est ontarien affiche ses ambitions. La station de radio communautaire allonge ses tentacules pour installer un studio dans la municipalité de Casselman, une ville à 52,5 km au Nord-Ouest de Cornwall. Le directeur général Marc Charbonneau, a confirmé la nouvelle après avoir obtenu l’accord du CRTC, l’organisme fédéral indépendant chargé de réglementer et de superviser la radiodiffusion et les télécommunications canadiennes, et celui d’Industrie Canada.
