Crime scene
CCAC meeting highlights senior care
MISCHIEF Miranda Mertes and Graham Carlisle, age 23, of Cornwall, were arrested on June 14, 2013. It is alleged that they were at a local business where they engaged in a verbal argument with the manager. They were asked to leave and while exiting, caused damage to a product display by kicking it. They were both charged with Mischief under $5000.00. They were released to appear in court on July 18, 2013. ASSAULTS Nicholas Dougan, age 37, Kevin Lan- glois, age 38, and Chantal Bickle, age 40, of Cornwall were arrested in relation to an altercation that occurred on May 31, 2013, at the corner of Pitt Street and Second Street. Nicholas Dougan was arrested on June 14, 2013, and charged with two counts of Assault and one count of Aggravated Assault. He was released to appear in court on July 16, 2013. Kevin Langlois was arrested on June 15, 2013, and charged with Assault. He was re- leased to appear in court on July 23, 2013. Chantal Bickle was arrested on June 15, 2013, and charged with Assault Causing Bodily Harm. She was released to appear in court on July 23, 2013. As a result of the incident two people were treated and released from the Cornwall Community Hospital for serious but non- life-threatening injuries. UNLAWFULLY IN A DWELLING Andrew Arab, age 20, and Trevor Seguin age 21, of Cornwall, were arrested on June 16, 2013 for having been unlawfully in a dwelling. The first man is bound by a Recognizance with the relevant condi- tions of No Alcohol, Notify Police of any Change of Address and Keep the Peace and be of Good Behavior. The second man is bound by an Undertaking with the relevant condition to Keep the Peace and be of Good Behavior. On that date, resi- dents of a Carleton Street home returned to find both males, who were known to them, inside their residence without permission. Police were contacted and an investigation followed. The first male was charged with Being Unlawfully in a Dwelling House and 3 counts of Breach of Recognizance. He was held for a bail hearing June 17, 2013. The second male was charged with Being Unlawfully in a Dwelling House and Breach of Undertak- ing. He was released to appear in court on July 23, 2013. IMPAIRED On June 16, 2013, Cornwall Police re- sponded to a call from the port of entry, as the Canada Border Services Agency had a female in custody for impaired driv- ing. Police attended and continued the arrest of Amanda Mitchell-McConini, age 25, of Maniwaki, Quebec. She was later released by the Cornwall Police to appear in court on July 16, 2013.
“It was not all rosy”, said Gilles Lateigne. “We had increased our workload and our amount of clients.” CCAC’s remedy has been to further up train- ing of their staff. Ninety per cent of the or- ganization’s workers are trained in Safety First and have 1335 hours of initial ethics training. Experts have estimated that Ontario’s 65+ will double over the next 20 years, whereas the 85+ group is expected to quadruple.
CCAC operates throughout Ontario and currently has a 93.2 per cent satisfaction rate. The organization has also partnered with the Cornwall Hospital as well as with St. Joseph’s community care. In all, the orga- nization serves over 58,800 clients through- out Eastern Ontario. The organization wel- comed six new members: Dr. Céleste Abedi, Dr. Maria Barradoes, J. Hugh Brownlee, Di- ane Hupé, Colette Rivet as well as Bill Skin- ner.

CORNWALL| It may have been projected on a screen, but this year’s Community Care Access Center’s (CCAC) meeting fea- tured great speakers such as Dr. Samir Sinha , lead expert for Ontario’s Seniors Strategy. “Aging is not a disease, it’s a triumph”, said the 30-year old doctor amid clapping and cheering. Although quite punctual, Sinha also ex- plained some of CCAC’s past problems and the many solutions the organization has taken in order to make 2014 its most suc- cessful year. “The province currently has 78 000 hospital beds”, Sinha said with a serious tone. “It is estimated that by the year 2040, 238 000 beds will be needed.” He blames the shortage of funding for el- derly health care on the lack of funding, which has always been invested in other areas of the medical field. “The age of the average citizen was 27 back then, therefore governments invested in hospitals rather than in home care”, said Sinha. “Yet we are still neglecting to change our way of investing.” Only 14.6 per cent of Ontarians are over 65 and older, yet they account for nearly half of the province’s health care spending. This has led both the Federal and Provincial gov- ernment in investing further funding into hospitals. This, according to Sinha, is not the right thing to do. “It costs the province an average of $1000 a day to keep someone in a hospital bed, $130 for long term care and only $55 a day for supportive housing or home and com- munity care”, said Sinha. The focus of this year’s meeting was about highlighting solutions and moving forward, past struggles which had plagued the orga- nization through 2012-2013.

and a wide range of experience in the ar- eas of municipal infrastructure and the en- vironment as well as a local knowledge of the City.” St. Marseille boasts a 21 year career with GENIVAR where he served as Senior Direc- tor of Environment for Eastern Ontario. He has managed a variety of municipal proj- ects in the area of water and wastewater treatment, environmental monitoring, brownfields, solid waste management and Incredibly, the initial disaster had a death toll of 15, all workers. A list of names is pres- ent under the many old photographs. “Some had come all the way from Pitts- burg to work on the bridge” said Lauzon. “Most were from Montreal, Cornwall as well as from neighboring American States.” In an incredible act of generosity, the sur- viving workers helped pay for four of the victims’ funerals. Eight of the fifteen were buried in Cornwall cemeteries. One quick gaze around the glass show- cases reveals real hidden gems of Cornwall’s bridge history, such as an old pamphlet, old postcards, an old invitation to Robert Bor- den himself as well as his own reply. Sev- eral of the showcased artifacts present have all been amassed by the museum mostly through donations. “We have people come here and give us incredible things simply because it’s taking too much room in their house,” said an ex- cited Lauzon.
diversion. He has also taken part in several committees such as the Waterfront Devel- opment Committee, the Pesticide Use Advi- sory Committee and the Municipal Environ- mental Advisory Committee “I am thrilled and humbled by this chal- lenging opportunity to contribute to the community that my family calls home,” said St. Marseille. As General Manager of Infrastructure and Municipal Works, St. Marseille will oversee the City’s Infrastructure Planning, Environ- ment, Municipal Works and Transit Divi- sions. A resident of Cornwall, St. Marseille is heavily involved in his community through a number of groups and organizations such as Team Cornwall, Cornwall Sea Lions, Cornwall Multi-Sport Club, Cornwall Cycling Club, St. Lawrence River Institute of Envi- ronmental Sciences and Professional Engi- neers Ontario, among others. A picture of a man in a suit adorns one of the frames in Lauzon’s exhibit. The obvi- ously important individual is about to cut a ribbon during the inauguration of the Roo- sevelt bridge. In his hand is a larger than normal pair of scissors. In the glass case, located under the frame are the said scis- sors, looking brand new. “I found them in the museum, tucked away” said the local historian. As she concludes the tour of her exhibit, Lauzon pulls out two giant size reg- istries. “Those are from the house of refuge” she said all the while going through the count- less pages. “I don’t know how they got here, if they were donated or sold. Lauzon explained that her future project will feature the said establishment, a topic that has interested her in the past. As for her newly revealed bridge exhibit, the Cornwall historian hopes history lovers will visit the museum, so they can learn something quite interesting about their community’s past.

CORNWALL| Deep under the Cornwall Mu- seum lies an exhibit that sheds light on a vital part of Cornwall: its many bridges. Local historian and university student Sara Lauzon has been working on the project for some time now and invites the local community to come discover the many interesting aspects that surround our historically important link to the Unit- ed States. Made up of seven frames as well as glass showcases, the interesting exhibit is being housed in the museum’s basement. “There have been two bridge disasters in Cornwall’s history” said Lauzon, pointing at several pictures depicting the tragic events. “One happened in 1898 and the other in 1908.”

Cornwall seniors to receive federal funding FRANCIS RACINE inforeflet.news@eap.on.ca
adults between 65 and 80 falls each year. 1 in 2 individuals over the age of 80 falls each year. The Move ‘n Mingle Group is an eight- week program for older adults to increase their awareness of personal and environ- mental fall risks, while encouraging fun and group interaction. The program also features weekly exercise instruction to help older adults maintain physical fitness. The goal of The Move ‘n Mingle Group is to combine education and exercise in a so- cial setting to decrease the likelihood that an older individual will experience a fall. We are delighted to receive the federal funding as we know the Move ‘n Mingle falls prevention and exercise program will help prevent falls and improve overall health and wellness of seniors, ” said Deb- bie St John-de Wit, Executive Director of the Seaway Valley CHC. “The added benefit is, of course, socialization.” Since its beginning, the New Horizons for Seniors Program has funded more than 12,200 projects in hundreds of communi- ties across Canada. This year, the Govern- ment of Canada will provide more than $33 million in funding for approximately 1,750 community projects.
CORNWALL | Seniors in the City of Corn- wall and local area will soon have new opportunities to participate in a health promotion program thanks to funding through the New Horizons for Seniors Pro- gram (NHSP). Guy Lauzon, Member of Parliament for Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry made the announcement last week on behalf of Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development, and the Honour- able Alice Wong, Minister of State (Seniors). “Our government recognizes the diversity of skills, knowledge and experience that seniors contribute to our society and the economy,” said Lauzon. “Through initiatives such as the New Horizons for Seniors Pro- gram, we are helping to ensure that seniors maintain a high quality of life and continue as active, participating members of their communities.” The Seaway Valley Community Health Centre will receive $6,000 for its Move n’ Mingle Group program.

Canada Day is an event of exceptional importance to millions of Canadians. It reminds of us of our unique history and cultural diversity, and it is a time to feel great pride in our vast natural environment — after all, we live in the second largest country in the world, in terms of surface area! For many, Canada was a Promised Land right from the start. The First Nations successfully lived off the land for centuries before Europeans arrived. And newly arrived pioneers eventually merged with aboriginal peoples to create a vibrant society based on human rights for all. That is why Canada Day is the perfect occasion to unite and strengthen communities with festivals all across this great country. O CANADA Did you know that O Canada was proclaimed our natio- nal anthem on July 1, 1980, a century after it was sung for the fi rst time, on June 24, 1880? The music was composed by Calixa Lavallée to accompany French lyrics written by Adolphe-Basile Routhier. The song had been commissioned by the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec, Théodore Robitaille, for the Congrès National des Canadiens-Français in 1880. English lyrics were later written by Judge Robert Stanley Weir, in 1908.

The land of our ancestors Every year, on the fi rst day of July, Canada celebrates its birthday with many festivities across the country. This occasion was fi rst commemorated in 1868, at which time Canadians were invited to mark the fi rst anniversary of the Confederation. This event became an of fi cial holi- day on July 1, 1879, when Dominion Day was of fi cially proclaimed. This proclamation was initially received with little enthu- siasm, as many Canadians were still very much attached to the British Empire. However, by the fi ftieth anniversary of Confederation, in 1917, Canadians had become rather more delighted with the occasion, and the fi rst Dominion Day celebrations were held on Parliament Hill. Ten years later, the nation celebrated the diamond jubilee of the

Every year Canadians get together at all kinds of festivities to celebrate their heritage.
Confederation.
In 1980, Canadian patriotism was proclaimed loud and clear as the song O Canada , written a century earlier, was adopt- ed as the national anthem. Two years later, the Constitution Act was passed and Canada became a wholly independent nation. This was the ideal moment to rename the annual celebration of Confederation, which is now known as Canada Day. Since then the event has become a great Canadian tradition, and every year, in any kind of weather, hundreds of thousands of Canadians come together to celebrate their history and their rich cultural and natural heritage. Dressed in red and white, they congregate together at parks, homes, and city centres to observe the day with pride and joy.
The highlight of many Canada Day celebrations around the country is a giant fi reworks display.

L’entente faite avec les élèves au début de la collecte de fonds avait pour but de les motiver. S’ils amassaient 14 000$ ou plus, ils pourraient lancer des tartes aux visages des enseignants. «Ceci est le plus haut montant jamais amassé pour Sautons en cœur», a déclaré Lynne Groulx, la coordinatrice d’activités pour la fondation. « En tout, près de 420 élèves ont participé cette année.» La collecte de fonds survient à chaque deux ans.

Montfort : désignation universitaire
L’Hôpital Montfort détient maintenant le titre de centre hospitalier universitaire de groupe A. La ministre déléguée aux Affaires francophones, Madeleine Meilleur, en a fait l’annonce lors de l’Assemblée générale de l’Hôpital, le 19 juin. «L’Hôpital Montfort fait partie de la solution pour accroître l’accès aux soins de santé en Ontario, particulière- ment pour la communauté francophone, a affirmé la ministre Meilleur. Cette dé-
signation officielle par le gouvernement de l’Ontario est essentielle pour garantir le caractère permanent d’un programme d’enseignement médical en français dans la province.» L’Hôpital Montfort joue un rôle d’enseignement universitaire depuis 1992. Au fil des ans, le nombre de jours d’enseignement en médecine n’a cessé d’y augmenter.
