The Cornwall Community Hospital will not delay the sale of its Second Street site to allow for more community input in the decision. Councillor Bernadette Clement asked at last Monday night’s city council meeting if the hospital board is set on its Feb. 25 date to receive purchase offers. “It seems very quick … it seems a quick time frame for them (community members) to be able to respond.” But hospital chief executive officer Jea- nette Despatie ruled out delaying the sale of the site, which has been already listed for $2 million with a Cornwall real estate firm. “I don’t think it would be a good business decision,” she told Clement. Despatie also reaffirmed that the board has no interest in holding community con- sultations about the sale of the hospital site. She said community consultations would be fruitless when there are no other options other than to sell the site. Despatie and hospital board chair Helene Periard were at council to explain the pro- cess behind the board’s December decision to put the former Cornwal General Hospital site for sale. A former city councillor is not giving up hope that the former Cornwall General Hospital site can become a community hub for seniors, despite the fact the build- ing could be sold in a little more than a month. “There is a long list of social benefits the building can be used for,” said Mark Mac- Donald at a press conference in front of the hospital Friday afternoon.“People are going to have to put politics aside or we run the risk of losing an opportunity like this.” In a presentation to council last Monday night, hospital CEO Jeanette Despatie said there are no other options for the hospital other than to sell the site and consulting the community about the sale would be purposeless. MacDonald, standing on the sidewalk in front of the hospital site flanked by anti- poverty activist Gary Samler and student activists Josh Welsh and Emily Ladoucer- MacDonald, criticized Despatie’s assertion community consulted is not needed. “We’re talking about a building that’s worth $2 million and is probably worth a bundle more than that. And the building already belongs to us. It’s something we al- ready paid for.” GREG KIELEC GREG.KIELEC@EAP.ON.CA

Mark MacDonald speaks Friday afternoon in front of the former Cornwall General Hospital, flanked by student activists JoshWelsh and Emily Ladoucer-MacDonald.
Periard said there has been “much fear” over the impending sale of the site, but she reminded council that the closure of the Second Street site was part of the original deal with the province when the hospitals amalgamated to form the Cornwall Com- munity Hospital. The former Cornwall General Hospital and Hotel Dieu hospital received final direction from the province in 2003 to consolidate under an expanded and upgraded facil- ity at the McConnell Avenue site, Despatie said. One of the conditions of the amalga- mation was the disposal of former Cornwall General site once the remaining programs have been moved to the McConnell site, she said. Phase 3 of the McConnell Avenue site’s expansion should be completed, and all programs and services transferred, by mid- 2014, Despatie said. “And the Second Street site at that time will become vacant.” “The hospital will have no use for the va- cant building,” she added. “We will have no budget to cover the costs of the site on Sec- ond Street.” The CCH will have to begin paying prop- erty taxes, and will still have pay for insur- ance and maintenance of the site out of its operating budget because the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care will “There are probably 15-20 government offices that could use the facility here for a permanent home. And they wouldn’t have to look any further.” “And the one thing I take exception to is that there was a presentation to city council where the hospital board stated that it’s a done deal, that it’s not negotiable. It is poli- tics and everything is negotiable, especially when it comes to seniors and issues affect- ing seniors.” MacDonald wants city council to put to- gether a proposal to acquire the site. He in- vited all of city council to a second public meeting held at the McConnell Manor on
not cover the operating costs of the former hospital once it is empty, Despatie said. Councillor Andre Rivette asked if the hos- pital would be willing to lease the Second Street site if funding could be acquired to operate it as a long-term care site, but Despatie said the board would prefer to sell the site outright. Mayor Bob Kilger suggested Chantal Leclerc, chief executive officer of the Cham- plain Local Health Integration Network, be invited to council after Clement raised an open question about what council can do to receive more clarity on the issue. Leclerc recently turned down a request from the Eastern Ontario Health Unit’s board of directors to create a task force to examine the long-term care needs of Corn- wall and the surrounding area. The LHINwill be shutting down at the end of March an Assess and Restore unit opened at the former General Hospital in late 2011 to deal with a backlog of patients tying up beds at the hospital’s McConnell site while awaiting long-term care beds. Rivette is concerned that once the unit is sold and the hospital site is sold, there will be no avenue for the hospital should it become overwhelmed with so called alter- nate-level-of-care patients at the McCon- nell site. Monday evening, to further discuss how the Second Street site can be used for the benefit of area seniors. “The way it has been handled from the beginning, I think, has been wrong. There has to be public consultation. There has to be public meetings … because without finding out what the public wants, how are you going to move forward?” Thegrouphas alsowritten toOntarioHealth Minister DebMatthews to get her position on the issue. She had earlier said in a media in- terview that community consultations should be held and any community proposal for the site should be brought to the hospital board.
No delaying sale of former CGH, says CCH CEO

Group wants $75,000 for university study Pictured, foreground, Tom and Gail Kaneb, along with Gerry Benson, make their pitch for funding for a feasibility study examining the creation of a new university in Cornwall at last Monday night’s city council meeting.
“We’re right up to our ears. We can’t afford it anymore,” he said. He noted the city has been a big contrib- utor to education in the city and still have seven more annual payments of $100,000 to make to St. Lawrence College for the fa- cility’s recent redesign and upgrades. The university group is hoping to utilize a largely empty Nav Centre, which has 70 classrooms, to save the province the infra- structure costs associated with building a new university. Tom Kaneb said the group has been in discussions with St. Lawrence College and the St. Lawrence River Institute to deter- mine how to build upon programs already offered by them. He said the a university is key to raising the education level in Cornwall and to re- taining the city’s youth, who often don’t re- turn to Cornwall after attending four years of university in other Ontario cities. Cornwall university would make higher education much more accessible to Corn- wall youth because it would eliminate the $10,000 to $15,000 they would have to spend to attend university outside of Corn- wall. Benson said he and his entourage have met a number of high-profile officials in the months preceding last Monday’s presenta- tion to council, including Nav Can CEO John Crichton and Conservative political heavy- weight Hugh Segal. “We went on to meet many other leaders. It’s been 11 months,” he told council.

A group hoping to create a new university in Cornwall is looking for $75,000 from Cornwall city council to conduct a feasibil- ity study. Gerry Benson, the main mover behind the university proposal, along withTom and Gail Kaneb, pitched their plan for a Cornwall university to city council last Monday night. The feasibility study must be completed for the province to consider the idea. But at least a couple of councillors had a hard time stomaching the $75,000 funding request, especially in light of anticipated financial constraints in their yet to be final- ized 2013 city budget. Councillor Denis Thibault, noting Benson is part of the Community Action Group that has pressured city council to lower taxes, suggested the city soften the blow to the city budget by partnering up with two neighbouring governments. He suggested the city provide $30,000 of the requested funding with an equal amount from the United Counties of Stor- mont, Dundas and Glengarry. The remain- ing $15,000 should come from Akwesasne, he suggested. Thibault’s suggestion was backed up by Councillor Andre Rivette, but he insisted the money come straight from the city’s economic development budget.

Now how did the Love Love Food pre- serves start you may ask? Well, in July of last year his garden was in full bounty mode, as in he had too many tomatoes to shake a stick at -- what was he to do? His partner suggested he make salsa. Good idea he said to himself, “but that’s go- ing to make too much salsa to eat in one sit- ting, no?” Then the idea came of canning it, so it could be kept for later enjoyment. He did just that and brought some to the down- town farmers’market where it was a big hit. A month later he had a new problem -- stock. He was already sold out of the salsa,

When asked if there is a quote that stands for something he believes in, Welsh men- tioned a line from the 1983 movie Scarface. “There is a line that sums it all up,” said Welsh. “In the movie, Mel Bernstein, played by Harris Yulin, is talking with Tony Mon- tana, played by Al Pacino, and Mel tells Tony he should smile more, that ‘everyday above ground is a good day’. This has always stuck with me, and I remember it when I am hav- ing a rough day.” If what Welsh has accomplished so far, is any measure of success then he has reached some of his goals. “My definition of success is having a goal or a vision, and then achieving that dream in the long run. I feel that the more you get involved with your school and your com- munity, the more success you’ll achieve.” cal financial institution on Dec. 12.

When asked what he enjoys most about working with people, especially youngsters, Welsh is quick to admit that you can always learn something, no matter what age. “What I especially enjoy is what you can learn from youngsters. I have been involved with a program called Link Crew where we were partnered with Grade 7 students and from this I gained an understanding of what students at this level are facing today.” His most enjoyable experiences have custody until court the following day.

Colts make a point two consecutive games
Colts, who outshot the Braves 32-20 after outshooting the Lumber Kings 67 to 22 on Thursday night. Owen Gill tied the game 1-1 midway in the second period before Blasko and Quince exchanged goals in the third to send the game to overtime. Michael Pontarelli evened up the score in the shootout on the Colt’s second try, but a miss by the Colts’ third shooter, Carl Beliz- ario, opened up the door for Chris Roll of the Braves, who made good on his opportunity. It was a slightly different story on Thurs- day night against the Lumber Kings in Corn- wall. The Colts, trailing 4-2 at the end of the second, came back with three unanswered goals between 3:29 and 16:28 of the third to take their first lead of the game. But Keegan Harper tied it for Pembroke on the power play and with the goalie pulled with just 55 seconds left in the game. Then Ben Dalpe broke a 1-1 shootout tie after three shooters to give Pembroke the win.

There was one point to be made about the last two Cornwall Colts game, and that is exactly it – one point. The Colts had a chance to snatch two points against the Pembroke Lumber Kings Thursday night and their Highway 401 rival Brockville Braves Friday night, but came away with just one point both nights after losing in the shootout. The two points squandered in the two shootout losses may not seem like much, but they have allowed the Braves to sneak past them into second place in the Rob- inson Division and supplanting the Colts, who just last week were third overall in the CCHL. The silver lining is the two points salvaged by forcing the games to overtime and the

Atelka, une compagnie de centres d’appels qu’il a cofondée, ouvrira une succursale à Cornwall. La plus importante compagnie canadienne de centres d’appels espère créer au moins 400 nouveaux emplois. On cherche à recruter des représentants de service à la clientèle et des agents de soutien technique. Atelka s’installera sur l’avenue Tollgate sur l’ancien site des bureaux de Teleperformance, une compagnie américaine établie dans l’État de l’Utah.

Les représentants d’Atelka convient les habitants de Cornwall à venir les rencontrer en personne. La compagnie tiendra sa journée de rencontre de chercheurs d’emplois les 6 et 13 février prochains au Complexe civique de Cornwall de 17 h à 21 h. Cet investissement permettra à Atelka d’établir sa première succursale en Ontario. En ce moment, Atelka a trois sites au Québec.
