A bacon processor in Cornwall is hoping an expansion to diversify its product line, coupled with the anticipated renewal of its United States export licence, will help turn around the plant’s fortunes. The company laid off 75 workers within the past couple of weeks at its plant be- cause of a reduction of orders due to in- creased U.S. competition that has resulted from the high Canadian dollar. “Temporary layoffs are never a good thing,” said Richard Vigneault, spokesman for Olymel Canada. But he stressed a bright- er future could be in store for the plant once it gets the green light to resume U.S. exports and completes an expansion at the plant to diversify its product line. The company has been subject to “fierce competition from American products for two to three years” that is “flooding the Ca- nadian market” because of the high Cana- dian dollar, Vigneault said. The high dollar makes it cheaper for large grocery chains to import American bacon instead of buying the Canadian-made prod- uct. It has forcedOlymel to control costs and become more efficient to compete with the cheaper American products. “Still the Canadian dollar is very high… Cornwall Mayor Bob Kilger, in a highly unusual move, has issued a news release stating he is not in conflict of interest in a personnel matter being dealt with by city council. But despite being assured by a major le- gal firm that he is not in conflict, he recused himself from a portion of a Feb. 11 meeting a skipped a Feb. 19 meeting during which the matter is being discussed, he said. An Ottawa lawyer has weighed in on the a statement Kilger indicating he is not in con- flict of interest regarding one key personnel issue being dealt with by city council.

The plant recently laid off 75 workers but is work- ing to turn its fortunes around. it’s an obstacle to exportation most of the time,” said Vigneault, and not just to Olymel but all Canadian manufacturers. But Vigneault is hoping an expansion that will allow the plant to diversify with prod- ucts like smoke ham will help the company regain market share “so we can go back to full capacity.” “It’s a huge expansion,” Vigneault added, but did not have exact figures to provide The Journal . The work is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Some more good news – the anticipated renewal of the company’s export licence to Kilger’s statement. Brunning also represented Diane Shay in a case of whistleblower retaliation in 2011 in which the city became the first municipality ever to be convicted under the province’s whistleblower retaliation legislation. Kilger, in his statement, said he received independent legal advice from the national law firm of Blake, Cassels & Graydon indicat- ing he has not been in a conflict of interest situation with respect to the matters dis- cussed at the in-camera meetings. “While I accept my lawyer’s advice that there is no conflict of interest, I do not intend to participate in any of council’s future con- sideration of these specific matters because I would like Council to deal with thesematters with as few complications as possible.” Kilger issued the statement to explain his involvement in two in-camera sessions of would eventually hold a press conference explaining why he left his seat. The news release was originally planned for June, when an internal investigation of city hall by lawyer Judith Allen was due to be completed. But the investigation by Al- len was delayed due to unforeseen circum- stances. “I now believe it has been completed or is the United States – should also boost the company’s fortunes, Vigneault said. The company lost its export licence and was shut down by the Canadian Food In- spection Agency in August 2011 after a tainted shipment of bacon was detected at the American border. The plant began re-opening gradually in January 2012 after extensive work to comply with CFIA criteria. The Industrial Drive plant had about 259 employees prior to the layoff. It is now working with 184 employees. Work on the expansion is expected to be completed by the end of the year, Vigneault said. city council in February. “There was an in camera meeting of city council on Feb. 19 regarding personnel matters. The same matters were also briefly discussed during a portion of an in-camera meeting on Feb. 11. I did not attend the Feb. 19 meeting and I recused myself from a por- tion of the Feb. 11 meeting while these mat- ters were discussed because I wanted to ob- tain independent legal advice as to whether I was in a conflict of interest,”Kilger said. “If I was in a conflict of interest situation with respect to the matters discussed at these meetings, the Municipal Conflict of In- terest Act states that, because I was absent from the one meeting, I must declare that conflict at the next regular meeting of coun- cil. Accordingly, I did not have a conflict of in- terest declaration to make at the city council meeting of Feb. 25,”he said. nearing completion,”O’Shaughnessy said in explaining the timing of the news release. O’Shaughnessy refuses to refer to the Allen investigation by name, describing it simply as “work” that was initiated “behind closed doors” after he left council. “Everyone knows what it is, but I am bound by the confidentiality of closed-door sessions,” he said.

The group is hoping to speak to city council at its next meeting to solicit ad- ministrative support for the project. “Our city council has to help (by) providing the administrative and technical support we re- quire to move on,” saidWilson. “The only way this will succeed is if we are pulling in the same direction, making sure this facility is used for the common good and social benefit of the community, with a focus on seniors.” “It is similar toVictoriaVillage in Barrie and we are following a similar process,” he said, referring to a recent exclusive story on the successful conversion of the former Royal Victoria Hospital into a multi-use, seniors’- focused centre. MacDonald said after the announcement he does not know how much time the hos- pital is allowing the group. But he said the fact the group’s offer was not rejected out- right by the hospital board at its meeting late Thursday afternoon is good news. Two council members at the press confer- ence, David Murphy and André Rivette, said they support the project but are unwilling to see city dollars spent on the former Corn- wall General Hospital site.

I question if democracy, in the true sense of the notion, as so aptly laid out in our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, even exists to its fullest extent, the way those who crafted Canada’s cher- ished document had intended. The conduct of some – not all – at city hall, and their often selective interpretation of the law at all levels, came to a fore at the Feb. 25 when a reporter was evicted from council for wearing a T-shirt that Mayor Bob Kilger found offensive. Then, protesters saw signs they had respectfully left outside the council chambers disappear after manhan- dled by city Councillor Syd Gardiner only to show up a week later bent and creased at police headquarters. Both events were disturbing in that they were basic attacks on two major and cher- ished tenets of our charter or rights: the freedom of the press and freedom of ex- pression, that includes the right to peaceful protest, even in the city of Cornwall’s hal- lowed halls. But while the events of Feb. 25 may have been shocking to some, they are no surprise to those who have been following the tri- als and tribulations of those at city hall over the past few years. The protesters may have been the unfortunate canaries in the coal mine, but the noxious odour of a democ- racy gone bad has been slowly smothering Special photo Above is a photo of one of the damaged protest signs posted on Facebook by Chris- topher Cameron from the Feb. 25 protest at Cornwall city hall. No charges were laid against the councillor accused of damaging them. pattern that has consistently emerged from city hall since the Diane Shay whistleblower case, and perhaps even before. One only needs to look back 11 months ago, to last April, when a damning report from closed meeting investigator Stephen Fournier sanctioned the mayor and city council for an ambush of Councillor Andre Rivette that was allowed to take place dur- ing a closed section of council, in clear viola- tion of the Ontario Municipal Act. Fournier also laid out a detailed road map on how council should adopt best practices used by other municipalities to bring its ac- tions within the law and ensure the utmost transparency and accountability for Corn- wall ratepayers. But what really has changed? The Journal has learned there are now two more closed meeting complaints filed against the city that are being investigated by Fournier, who readily admits that while he can make recommendations to council, he has no power to enforce them. Since late 2011, the city has been convict- ed of retaliating against a whistle-blower, has been criticized for improperly treating an employee by the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, has been slammed by an inves- tigator for improper conduct during an in- camera session and has lost a sitting coun- cillor who resigned over frustration with the lack of information given councillors during decision-making processes. Please see “CITY’S”: Page 5 360 Pitt Street long before their democratic rights were trampled upon before their very own eyes. One does not have to peer far back into history to see the warning signs of power gone amok long before protesters’ signs were confiscated and police were sent rac- ing in full panic mode to city hall to deal with not an armed gunman or a violent coup, but simply a reporter asserting his right to remain in the council chambers in spite of the mayor’s disdain for his attire. Councillor Gardiner’s Sign-gate and a city hall brimming with police officers was ee- rily evocative of the tense and sometimes violent Occupy protests in the United States last year, but it was not out of step with a 23 000 copies 625, ch Montréal, Cornwall, Ontario K6H 1C3 Tel.: 613 938-1433 • Fax.: 613 938-2798 Bertrand Castonguay , Président • President , bertrand@eap.on.ca Roger Duplantie , Directeur Général • General Manager , roger@eap.on.ca François Bélair , Directeur des ventes et développement • Sales and Development Manager , fbelair@eap.on.ca François Legault , Directeur de l’information/News Editor, francois.legault@eap.on.ca Julien Boisvenue, Dir. de l’infographie et du prépresse • Layout & Prepress Mgr. julien.boisvenue@eap.on.ca Publicité • Advertising : tara.sullivan@eap.on.ca, kim.walters@eap.on.ca Nouvelles / News: jcornwall@eap.on.ca Classées • Classified : lyse.emond@eap.on.ca Distribution : jcornwall@eap.on.ca Publié tous les mercredis par • Published every Wednesdays by La Compagnie d’édition André Paquette Inc.

Home Medication reviews Étude sur soins à domicile OPINION editionap.ca Cornwall police Service are investigating a Break & Enter that occurred Friday, at a Tollgate Road East rear residential shed. The suspects gained entry and removed a large amount of tools, including a digital vernier caliper, and socket and wrench sets. Variety of tools stolen in Tollgate Road break and enter City’s executive branch has usurped council’s power STATE: Continued from Page 4 pal Act that municipalities give the most information possible about in camera ses- sions – including the names of those in at- tendance -- without divulging the private information. It is evident when the city released the terms of its settlement of former human resource manager Robert Menagh, but to this day still refuses to release information pertaining to the settlement granted for- mer Glen-Stor-Dun Lodge administrator Donna Derouchie, despite a recent order from adjudicator Diane Smith of the Infor- mation and Privacy Commissioner of On- tario’s office to do so. So where is the accountability, where is What we have in Cornwall – and I have witnessed it first-hand and through a vari- ety of inside sources over the few years –is an executive branch that has seized power from the democratically elected body to use it as it wishes, not unlike the unprece- dented powers seized by the White House during the two presidencies of George W. Bush. It is one thing for council to make bad decisions on information it receives from administration, lawyers or outside consul- tants. It is quite another thing for council to be left in the dark, forced into making decisions during closed sessions not knowing whether they are getting the full story. One thing is quite his vice-president Dick Cheney – do not feel that the laws of the land are applicable to Cornwall, and more specifically to Corn- wall city council and its top bureaucrats. They treat the law with disdain, like an unappealing suggestion which they may ignore if it does not suit their needs. It was evident when protesters signs were maligned and a reporter was evicted for a rather inoffensive T-shirt on Feb. 25. It was evident when until recently, coun- cil ignored a requirement in the Ontario Municipal Act that all meetings begin in open session, even those held specifically for in-camera discussion. It was evident when on two occasions mail sent to individual councillors citing concerns about the operation of Glen- Stor-Dun Lodge was intercepted by the executive branch and never arrived in the hands of city councillors It is evident when the city clerk refuses to reveal who even was in attendance during an in camera meeting of council, despite a requirement under the Ontario Munici- clear, this adminis- tration, and some members of council – much like Bush and the transparency cit- ed so often by those sitting around the council table, includ- ing Mayor Kilger?

Much of what happens in front of the television cameras is a well-rehearsed charade to keep the eyes of the media and the public off the ball. It is, what they call in politics, “optics”, or “messaging” – a concerted campaign to keep the public focused on what the powerbrokers want them to know, not what the public really needs to know. Power can have different shades and dif- ferent meanings depending upon who is using it and the context in which it is used. Power is often equated with money. It is also equated with political influence. Of- ten the two sources of power – money and political station – combine in a way that benefits both sides of the equation, but often at the expense of the average citizen who has access to neither. It is time that the power is turned back to the citizens of this great city and their duly elected council. for just $5 more per month 1 Offer applies for your first 12 months, based on a 3 year contract.

But for one cartoonist and illustrator, originally from Cornwall, it has become a passion which has garnered him one million fol- lowers on his social network pages. Joel Poirier, a freelance comic illustrator, has a superhero spoof anthology at www. strippedcomics.com and an online game of art and trivia at bigtwinkies.tumblr.com where he showcases his drawings from 80s films. Poirier readily admits he is a junkie for pop culture from the mid-late 20th century. “Movies, music, comic books, video games, pretty much everything ‘cult’. I’m a hipster geek,” said Poirier. Poirier, now married, has a great career in graphic design, and his art is increasing in popularity. He always loved to draw, and it became a big part of his life, and has shaped who he is today. “Art is a never-ending process of self-im- provement,” said Poirier. “When you take up something like drawing, at no point do you ever reach a level where you say “okay, this is the best I’m ever going to be.” There’s al- ways room for improvement. You’re always trying to do better. Having a good inner critic is essential to the self-improvement process and if you’re drawing for pleasure it can be quite helpful. But when you’re creat- ing for a business project, when you have a deadline, the inner critic can be an obstacle. Drawing for a living, and a hobby is the ultimate form of self-expression for Po- irier, and he readily admits it is the easiest way for him to connect with strangers. “It’s a habit as much as a hobby” quips Poirier. “I love to create and my current job as a graphic designer gives me free reign to re- ally flex my brainmuscles and come up with unique ideas. When I get passionate about a project I have a laser beam-like focus and I can put a ton of energy into it over a long period of time.” Please see “I’D LIKE’: Page 8 Comic pages to reality LISA ETHERINGTON- RUNIONS L’ÉVÉNEMENT CHARGE UTILE ††† REMORQUAGE ††† PUISSANCE ††† MEILLEURES DELACATÉGORIE ± MEILLEUR CHOIX POUR LA SÉCURITÉ IIHS 2013 MODÈLES CREW CAB Modèle Super Crew illustré avec équipement offert en option F-150 XLT SUPER CAB 4X4 2013 EN LOCATION POUR SEULEMENT L’OFFRE INCLUT 8 000 $ EN RABAIS DU FABRICANT AINSI QUE L’ALTERNATIVE COMPTANT SUR MESURE DE 750 $.

In an anti-climactic end to the regular sea- son, the Colts lost 7-2 to the Carleton Place Canadians Sunday afternoon to drop into third overall, earning them a match up with their river rivals the Brockville Braves starting in Cornwall Thursday night. The Colts hit the ice Sunday without two of their three top scorers, including league scoring title winner Michael Pontarelli, Mitch Zion, Carl Belizario and their captain Stephen Johnson, all but guaranteeing a loss to the Canadians. Had the Colts won, they would have faced the Smiths Falls Bears in the first round. In- stead it will be up to the Canadians to con- tain the feisty Ottawa Valley team. The Colts had an even record of three wins and three losses against both the Bears and the Braves during the regular season. Pietro Antonelli got the Colts on the boad first with a marker from Jake Bannister and Marly Quince 8:33 into the first period, but the game quickly deteriorated over the next two and a half periods. The Canadians scored five unanswered goals – two in the latter half of the first, two in the second and one early in the third to take a commanding 5-1 lead. Marly Quince made it interesting with a power play marker from Kevin Hope and Jake Bannister 8:12 into the third, but were unable to cash in on a subsequent power play at the 10 minute mark. Poirier’s Pulp Comics are greatly in- fluenced by movies. Pulp comics have a story, artwork, a series of events, su- perheroes and unique characters that develop the plot and they conclude with a surprise ending. Comics today are in an upward spiral, and have grown in popularity with shows like “The Big Bang Theo- ry” which zeros in on comics and the superhero memorabilia showcased at the annual “Comicon” convention highlighted in that series. Poirier’s site bigtwinkies.tumblr.com plays host to an online weekly Name That 80s Movie contest, a game of art and trivia where Poirier draws some- thing from an 80s film and you guess what it is for a chance to win some original artwork. “I guess you could say that movies FROM COMIC PAGES: From Page 7 Photo - Greg Kielec Michael Pontarelli of the Cornwall Colts tries a wrap-around move on the Brockville Braves goalie during action at the Ed Lumley Arena in Cornwall in Dec. 6. The Colts will face the Braves in the first round of the CCHL Tier 1 playoffs beginning in Cornwall to- morrow (Thursday). The Canadians increased their lead to 6-2 with 6:33 left in the game, and the Colts could not reply with Tyson Stewart of the Canadians in the box for roughing one min- ute later. The Canadians added one more with 27 seconds left to play to make the final score 7-2. Pontarelli finishes the regular season with 52 goals and 55 assists to take the league scoring title with 107 points, seven points ahead of the Braves’ Ben Blasko and 14 goals ahead of the second leading goal scorer. The Cornwall Colts put themselves in a position to snatch second overall over the Canadians with a 7-1 routing of the Nepean Raiders Thursday night in Cornwall. The win temporarily put the Colts back into first place in the Robinson Division, two points ahead of the Carleton Place Canadi- ans. But a Canadians’ victory over the Brock- ville Braves Friday night saw the Colts and Canadians tied heading into Sunday’s game. Brandon Hope led the Colts in scoring with two goals against the Raiders and Michael Pontarelli stretched his league scoring lead to seven points over Brockville’s Ben Blasko with a three-point night. ‘I’d like to continue making a living at something I enjoy doing’ have had the biggest influence on my life, followed by music and comic books. “Movies got me at an early age. I’ve seen so many of them in my life that I can almost plot the course of my life by them.” “My memories of a particular film are often tied to the events and circum- stances of my life at the time that I first saw it.” Re-watching a movie like “Batteries Not Included” takes me back to being 7 years old and playing Fireball Island with my cousins before their babysit- ter took us to see the movie in the the- atre.” Although he is always drawing in his spare time, watching movies, playing video games, listening to music, cook- ing with his wife Dorothy, and scour- ing through books and comic books for inspiration help him to escape and relax after work. “I enjoy reading sci- ence fiction and fantasy novels. My fa- vourite series right now is George Mar- tin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. I also like to read biographies of musicians, actors and comedians and of course, need you ask, comic books,” said Poirier with a smile. When asked if there is anything in his life he would like to change or do again, Poirier admits he doesn’t know if he would ever want to change any- thing about his life thus far.” “I’m happy now and I wouldn’t be where I am without the good and the bad experiences I’ve had, and the choices I’ve made. In the future I would like to continue making a living at something I enjoy doing. “Being happy, healthy, raising a fam- ily, and being able to live comfortably within my means is what defines suc- cess for me.
