Cornwall fait parler le pays entier
FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca
CORNWALL | Une dispute entre la Ville et une famille de Cornwall a fait jaser et a même défrayé les manchettes de certains journaux à Ottawa et ailleurs au pays. La famille Vincent a dû démanteler une pati- noire qu’elle avait aménagée, en partie sur le terrain de la Ville. C’est le maire de Cornwall lui-même, Leslie O’Shaughnessy, qui en a ordonné le démantèlement par mesure de précaution. «Que faire si les pointes des bandes fran- chissent une ligne à gaz souterraine? a avancé le maire O’Shaughnessy. Nous pour- rions ne pas voir les dommages tout de suite mais, dans quatre ou cinq ans, nous pourrions avoir une mauvaise surprise.» Une douzaines d’individus, armés de haut-parleurs, se sont donné rendez-vous le 26 décembre dernier pour manifester con- tre la décision prise par la Ville. Organisée par Stéphanie Carrière et Kenny Merpaw, la manifestation a duré plusieurs heures. «Comment est-ce que quelqu’un peut se plaindre de quelque chose comme ça?, a déclaré Mme Carrière. Quel genre de per- sonne se plaindrait d’une patinoire?» M. Merpaw disait ne pas comprendre
Bien que l’avenir de la patinoire semblait douteux, une vingtaine de bénévoles se sont présentés à la résidence de la famille Vincent le 10 janvier dernier, armés de pelles. Ensemble, le groupe a construit des bandes de neige entourant la plaque de glace pour qu’encore une fois, les jeunes des environs puissent profiter à fond de l’hiver. En photo, quelques bénévoles venues reconstruire la patinoire. Dans l’ordre habituel, Denise Allan, KassieWhitford, KarenWhitford et Angel Whitford.
pourquoi la Ville voulait le démantèlement immédiat de la patinoire, citant que celle- ci n’est pas une structure permanente et qu’elle serait là que pour quelques mois à peine. «Elle n’est ici que pour trois mois, a-t- il déclaré. Elle était là toute l’année dernière. Pourquoi est-ce un problème maintenant?» Mais bien que des centaines de parti- sans aient pris d’assaut les médias sociaux, la patinoire a été démantelée le 7 janvier dernier, non pas par la Ville mais par la famille Vincent et quelques bénévoles. Un avis aurait été envoyé à la famille précédant le démantèlement. «Nous nous sommes sentis coincés, a exprimé Laura Vincent. Nous ne voulions pas avoir à défrayer la facture de la Ville pour qu’elle démantèle la patinoire.» Sel- on la dame, la facture était estimée entre 2000$ et 3000$. Mais la controverse était quand même au rendez-vous puisque la journée précédente, soit le 6 janvier, plus- ieurs personnes avaient bloqué le passage aux employés de la ville avec leurs voitures. Des commentaires à l’échelle du pays «(La famille) aurait au moins pu appeler la ville pour voir si des lignes à gaz étaient présentes sur la propriété, a expliqué un ci- toyen d’Edmonton, dans un journal en ligne de la région. Cependant, la Ville aurait aussi
pu être un peu plus tolérante.» Plusieurs résidents de Cornwall disent déjà en avoir assez du nouveau maire de Cornwall. «M. O’Shaughnessy, prière de noter que cette nouvelle a voyagé à travers le pays et que vous êtes maintenant un em- barras non seulement pour Cornwall mais pour l’ensemble du Canada», a souligné un lecteur portant le nom de Samuel_James. D’autres commentaires appuyaient le maire. «Peut-être que si la famille Vincent avait vérifié les règlements de la ville, ça ne serait jamais arrivé, a commenté un lecteur en ligne. Alors pourquoi sommes-nous en train de blâmer le maire de la ville?» Tel un phénix, la patinoire renaît Bien que l’avenir de la patinoire semblait douteux, une vingtaine de bénévoles se sont présentés à la résidence de la famille Vincent le 10 janvier dernier, armés de pelles. Ensemble, le groupe a construit des bandes de neige entourant la plaque de glace pour qu’encore une fois les jeunes des environs puissent profiter à fond de l’hiver. «Nous avons eu l’approbation de Norm Levac (administrateur en chef de la ville), dans un courriel nous disant que l’on pou- vait construire des bandes de neige et que celles-ci pouvaient y rester jusqu’à la fin de l’hiver», a expliqué Mme Vincent.

New app lets users connect with City
CORNWALL | Citizens of Cornwall have a newway to connect with their City, follow- ing the launch of a new smartphone app. Pingstreet gives users real-time access to community and business news, employ- ment opportunities, upcoming events, garbage and recycling information, social media feeds and more. The app is free to use and is available on a number of popular platforms. “A growing number of people are using their phones to access information,” said Bob Peters, Senior
Development Officer. “This easy-to-use app will allow residents and visitors to connect with the City of Cornwall in an exciting new way.” Cornwall is one of 15 municipalities cur- rently featured on the award-winning app, which was developed by eSolutionsGroup. Pingstreet pulls information from open source data and uses GPS to serve appropri- ate location-based information in real-time. Pingstreet is expandable, allowing for more
information to be added, including infor- mation from other levels of government and other community organizations. Some of the highlights of the free app include upcoming City events, reminders about events of interest and the latest em- ployment opportunities with Cornwall In the near future, Pingstreet users will also be able to use the app to locate nearby Cornwall Transit bus stops and bus times based on real-time locations. Additional
features are expected to be added to the app in the months ahead. “In addition to providing information to local residents, the app will also provide exposure to Cornwall for Pingstreet users in other communities across Ontario and other parts of Canada,” said Mr. Peters. Cornwall’s participation in Pingstreet was made possible with the assistance of the Business Development Program of the East- ern Ontario Development Program.

Hidden treasure in Lamoureux Park : Rotary Creek
Institute’s Science and Nature on Tap series will highlight this extraordinary urban na- ture reserve. This environmental success story did not develop on its own nor did it happen over- night. Rotary Creek and its surroundings have been years in the making and have involved the talents and hard work of dedi- cated individuals from the City of Cornwall, Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, as well as Raisin Region Conservation Au- thority. Over the course of the Rotary Creek project, wildlife biologist Dr. Brian Hickey has played a key role as an environmen- tal architect. Currently a research scientist and lead educator with the St. Lawrence
River Institute of Environmental Sciences, Dr. Hickey originally began his journey on Rotary Creek two decades ago when he served with the team at Raisin Region Con- servation Authority. At that time, they were working with the community to address some of the environmental clean-up goals recommended in the Remedial Action Plan (RAP). This Plan was created over 30 years ago when the St. Lawrence River at Corn- wall was identified as an international Area of Concern for industrial pollution. Some worries at the time included the declining health of fish and wildlife populations and their need for suitable habitats. These con- cerns as well as the problem of excess algae and bacteria were factored into the creation
of a repair strategy that scientists hoped would improve the environmental network along the river at Cornwall. Rotary Creek is a prime example of their success. “With all of the doom and gloom these days with respect to the environment, Ro- tary Creek is a good news story. It demon- strates what can happen when we combine community effort, time, and some well- placed funding,” said Dr. Hickey. “Today, we can see real positive change.” Dr. Hickey will chronicle the Rotary Creek journey during his presentation at Schnit- zels. Although the event is free to attend, space is limited. To reserve a seat: 613-936- 6620 or kcooper@riverinstitute.ca.

Former board of governors chair to be honoured
CORNWALL | A permanent plaque will honour Monsignor Rudolph Villeneuve, or Father Rudy as he was affectionately known. A dedication ceremony will take place on January 13 at 4 p.m., at St. Law- rence College’s Cornwall campus, to unveil a plaque in the Aultsville Hall foyer hon- ouring the lifelong contributions of the Monsignor. “We are pleased to see that someone who prided himself on helping students achieve post-secondary education and a former Board of Governors Chair will be recognized at St. Lawrence College, for his generous contributions”, said Glenn Vollebregt, Presi- dent and CEO of St. Lawrence College. The beloved man was a lifelong learner who earned a Master’s degree and two Ph.D. degrees in Social Work and Theology and wrote 20 books. In 1972, Father Ville- neuve was the first recipient of the Citizen of the Year Award in Cornwall and, in 1996, he was bestowed with the same honour in Lancaster.

The Tri-Community Electronic Waste Challenge is going to turn electronic waste back into nature with the help of the On- tario Electronic Stewardship. On January 7, community members joined together at the St. Lawrence College campus in Cornwall for the kickoff of the first ever Tri-Community Recycling Chal- lenge. The Green Team on the Cornwall Campus is hosting this challenge to raise awareness on the proper recycling of electronic waste. “Providing education about protecting the environment through diverting elec- tronic waste from reaching landfills is im- portant to us and our communities,” said Mesha Boyer, from the Cornwall Green
rence College Board of Governors. He also served on other local boards including the Children’s Aid Society, United Way, Family Counseling Centre, Laurencrest, and the Ca- nadian Red Cross. In 1977, Monsignor Villeneuve played a key role in helping St. Lawrence College secure provincial funding for the construc- tion of Aultsville Hall, including Aultsville Theatre. He was a community leader who dedicated a lifetime to community building and was particularly devoted to develop-
ing local educational pathways so residents could access post-secondary opportunities that would better themselves, their families and their community. The Msgr. Rudolph Villeneuve Founda- tion, through proceeds from the Benson Charity Classic Golf Tournament, invested in the revitalization of the Cornwall Campus of St. Lawrence College to further reinforce Father Villeneuve’s vision of strengthening the community by making post-secondary education more accessible.
En bref / Briefs
Computer cam in Cornwall According to the Cornwall Community Police Service, there’s a computer repair scam currently going through the city. It is reported that the culprit or culprits contact the victim by telephone and suggest that the home computer has a virus and that, for approximately $200, they can eliminate the computer bug. The culprits provide a busi- ness name and a false telephone number for complaints. They also obtain payment by credit card and have access to all information on the victim’s computer. Shortly after the fraud is completed, the victim’s computer is reported to malfunction. The Cornwall Community Police Service asks residents to take precautions with telephone scams. Individuals have the right to check out any caller by requesting written information, a call-back number, references and time to think about the offer or situation.

Green team facing competition
Team. The Green Team is inviting all Cornwall and area citizens to participate! The recy- cling bins are located outside at the right hand side of the College and can be ac- cessed anytime as a drive-by drop-off loca- tion. It will regularly be emptied by Lafleche. The electronic waste collected in Corn- wall will raise funds for a revitalization proj- ect of the Butterfly Garden Path at the Corn- wall Campus. Lindsey Coons from the Team adds, “Funds will be donated to the St. Law- rence River Institute of Environmental Sci- ences to help with the revitalization project with the assistance of the Green Team. This project will help increase biodiversity in our community.” As part of this challenge, every week the team will ask for different electronic waste items that might be found lying around houses throughout the community. The Green Team’s hopes are to raise enough donated items to fill a classroom before the challenge ends during Earth hour on March 28.

ARIES If you’re not careful, a lack of time and some factors beyond your con- trol may cause you to sign a docu- ment too hastily; it may commit you to a personal investment that you’re not fully prepared for. TAURUS A thousand and one things could cause you to waste a lot of time. Fortunately, your intuition helps you find your way out of a slip-up. GEMINI Success waits for you at work and elsewhere. Don’t rely solely on your intuition, even if it’s usually sharp. A little preparation will be required this time. CANCER You involve your life partner in a crazy idea, such as starting your own small business at home. He or she has lots of admiration for you. LEO You may have to bring some work home with you. This extra effort will bring rewards, as your boss is sure to take note of it when you next ask for a raise. VIRGO You overflow with determination. Your goal is to create a good financial cushion for when you retire; this year, you’ll get a good start on things. LIBRA Now’s the time to ask yourself some questions and review your priorities and goals. You need to make some choices about your future, both for yourself and your family.

SAGITTARIUS While you may be happy to resume your regular activities after the ho- liday season, the fact remains that work or studies will come as a shock. You may feel more stressed out than usual. CAPRICORN You’re carrying a lot of responsi- bility on your shoulders. Fortuna- tely, you have the courage to finish everything that you’ve been pro- crastinating on recently.
