CRTF seizes more than 2M contraband smokes
Cote said in a press release. Twelve people—including six from the province of Quebec -- face federal and pro- vincial tax act charges for possession of a tobacco product not properly stamped. The RCMP have noted that smugglers have moved further east – a fact acknowl- edged at a recent cross-border crime press conference -- since the customs port of en- try was located at the foot of the Seaway International Bridge in Cornwall. Facing charges from Quebec are Conner Koula, 18, and Jason Crawford, 19, both from Chateauguay; Michael Morency, 21, from Montreal; Sonny Lacombe, 22,Gren- ville; Robert Bertrand, 59, from St. Eustache; and Kevin Boucher-Laframboise, 21, from Beloeil.

The Cornwall Regional Task Force has seized more than two million contraband smokes in the past several weeks. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police-led task force also seized $1,000 cash, 10 vehi- cles, 500 cartons of DK branded cigarettes, 343 kilograms of fine cut tobacco and one boat. Seven of the seizures occurred at the Cornwall port of entry at the foot of the Sea- way International Bridge, according to Sgt. Lee Cote of the CRTF. Eleven of the seizures took place in South Glengarry, but charges were only laid in three cases. In the other eight seizures, con- traband alone was located at unoccupied residences along the St. Lawrence River,

resident replied: “I live here, and why not?” More than 200 people packed the South Stormont council chambers on Sept. 26 to support Galganov’s“freedom of expression” proposal adopted by council after a roughly 20-minute presentation by the language rights crusader. Galganov has meet with South Glengarry Mayor Ian MacLeod to discuss the issue, but would not predict whether the proposal will be welcomed. “Mayor MacLeod is a very decent kind of being but he’s also non-committal.” Galganov said he is “on the cusp” of mak- ing presentations to other municiplaities on the issue. He eventually plans to target all 400 municipalities in Ontario. is a beginning not an end.” “The Community Action Group feels very strongly that some difficult choices will need to be made in order to keep the 2013 tax increase below two per cent as we have seen in the past few years, or even better a zero percent increase,” read a Sept. 28 press release from the group. “CAG sees growth of the tax base compro- mised with a three per cent tax increase, i.e. short-term gain, with no benefits for long- term growth. The CAG has been lobbying city hall to make its tax rates “more compet- itive” over the past few years to encourage growth in the city. “The choices seem clear to the CAG, change is required and without it we run the risk in the long term of remain- ing as we are, which is not an option that the members of the CAG would support.”
Local language-rights activist Howard Galganov has chosen his next target -- and it is South Glengarry township. Galganov confirmed to The Journal in a phone interviewThursday that he will make a presentation to South Glengarry council on either Nov. 12 or Nov. 13. He will ask the township to enact a bylaw which will allow businesses to erect signs in the language of their choice, similar to one recently passed by South Stormont town- ship. Asked why he has chosen South Glen- garry as his next target, the Williamstown Denis Carr, chair of Cornwall city council’s budget steering committee, has respond- ed to the Community Action Group’s criticism of its 2013 three-per-cent tax in- crease target. The action group, in a press release, sug- gested the city should set a minimum two per cent tax hike target and preferably insti- tuted a tax freeze. “Much has been made of the limit council has set for this years budget exercise,” Carr responded in an email to The Journal. “The starting point for this years budget process is a three per cent maximum,” he wrote. “This is not an increase it is a starting point for the budget working document, it By Greg Kielec greg.kielec@eap.on.ca

It was a bumper crop for the Cornwall Re- gional Task Force late last month. The multi-jurisdiction task force headed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police hauled in more than $6 million of marijuana grown in Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry and Prescott-Russell. The impressive haul was made during the task force’s Project OSABOT between Sept. 17 and Sept. 20 and even included collabo- ration with the Canadian military. An estimated 20 to 30 officers from the RCMP and its partner agencies participated in the project over its four-day span, accord- ing to CRTF spokesman Lee Cote. “No arrests are anticipated,” Cote wrote in an email to The Journal. “However, the in- formation gathered may assist law enforce- ment in future investigations.” Operation SABOT is marijuana-eradica- tion program conducted annually by the

The enhancements to the recycling pro- gram are part of the 1 Green Cornwall ini- tiative to highlight the City of Cornwall’s environmental programs and encourage civic participation in the 3 Rs – Reduce, Re- use and Recycle. A program of Waste Diversion Ontario, the Continuous Improvement Fund (CIF) provides grants and loans to Ontario mu- nicipalities to execute projects that im- prove the effectiveness and efficiency of municipal blue box recycling. For additional information on recycling, visit the Environment section of the City of Cornwall website, www.cornwall.ca.
“This program will give more residents a chance to participate in our recycling program,” said Mayor Bob Kilger. “We’re engaging a new sector of our community to help us build a greener Cornwall, and the entire community benefits because it helps to extend the life of the City landfill.” Over 350 recycling carts are being dis- tributed to multi-residential properties to be used in common garbage disposal ar- eas. In addition to that, over 450 recycling boxes were delivered to townhouse com- plexes and smaller multi-residential build- ings where common garbage disposal ar- eas were not practical or available. As part of the project, a Superintendent Recycling Handbook was created and dis- tributed to give property officials the nec- essary information on how to set up and

One of Bergeron’s most enjoyable learn- ing experiences was writing a book called “Hamilton Island A Pleasure Ground.” This book is a history of Hamilton Island and in- cluded a personal history of all the cottag- ers. “When you research a book you have the pleasure of talking to a variety of people. I learned a lot and found this to be very inter- esting,” Bergeron said. History has always captured Bergeron’s interest, and as a history specialist during his teaching career, he enjoyed Ancient Greek and Roman history. “If it were pos- sible, I would like to go back to the time of Alexander the Great and spend time with him in his expansion of the empire. This era intrigues me.” Bergeron is also fascinated by Canadian

I consider this my greatest achievement.” Bergeron, born and raised in Cornwall, was inspired as a child watching his Dad perform his duties as a judge in provincial court involving young people. It affected Bergeron by making him aware of the fact that many young people were involved with the law for a variety of reasons, and in a lot of cases it was not their fault. Bergeron attended elementary school in French, and had difficulty speaking English until he enrolled in high school. He then at- tended the University of Ottawa, and came back to Cornwall to teach at Cornwall Col- legiate for over 33 years, spending time teaching history, law, and philosophy. He was also the department head for Social Studies. A father of two children, now grown, and a grandfather, Bergeron credits his wife of 47 year, Gwen, with helping him to guide

Local entrepreneur Rene Lauber recognized the challenge and quickly put himself to the task of creating an affordable solution. “I believe that being able to go out and pick up a few groceries or doing a little shopping should be an easy thing,” com- mented Lauber. “I created Scootercessaries to enable scooter users to be able to do this. It is easy to use and makes it much safer to drive the scooter without having to balance a bag or box on your lap.” Scootercessaries is basically a basket car- rier for scooters. Built with an aluminum frame, the steel basket attaches to the back of the scooter. The basket folds flat while not in use and opens up to provide sufficient room to carry a few grocery bags and additional items. The removable basket is also equipped with four wheels and can be detached and used separately from the scooter as well. Lauber is very adamant about advertising that Scootercessaries is a product of Corn- wall and proudly profiles this on his flyers. “I have been in Cornwall all of my life and am proud to say it,” he said. “I want to give back to this community by creating jobs and bringing attention to what a great place it is.” She rented space, opened her doors and immersed herself into the challenges of opening a new business. Now, one year later, Vitalglow is not only doing well, it is expanding. “We are really pleased with the reception from the community,” enthused Zimmer. “Over the past year our staff has grown to four and we are proud to have now added Dr. Patrick Charlebois, the associate director of general surgery from the Montreal Gen- eral Hospital to our Vitalglow team.” Vitalglow has made a significant invest- ment into the community, having recently purchased the building where they are lo- cated. This level of investment speaks to the confidence Zimmer has for both her busi- ness and the city of Cornwall. The clinic features an upscale spa-like at- mosphere allowing clients to escape, relax,

Federal funding for youth The Journal staff
Economic Action Plan 2012 is providing an additional $50 million over two years to enhance YES through a new initiative that will connect young Canadians with jobs that are in high demand and help them de- velop tangible skills and gain work experi- ence. The additional funding will be delivered through two Calls for Proposals-one for Ca- reer Focus and one for Skills Link. The Calls opened on Sept. 5 and will close on Nov. 2. Organizations across Canada are invited to apply. Information is available at service- canada.gc.ca. The participants in YOUCAN’s project will attend workshops that focus on topics such as goal setting, conflict resolution and effec- tive communication to help them prepare to enter the workforce. Participants will also gain hands-on work experience through job placements with local employers. “YOUCAN is grateful for the funding from the government of Canada for the YOUCAN Connect Cornwall project,” said Dave Far- thing, chief executive officer, YOUCAN. “Our organization is pleased to partner with the government of Canada to address the needs of youth with barriers to employ- ment and help themget the skills they need to succeed in the workforce.” Youth employment programs are part of the government of Canada’s broader strat- egy to create an educated, skilled and flex- ible workforce.
The government of Canada has an- nounced support for youth in Cornwall to help them gain the skills, knowledge and experience they need to enter and suc- ceed in the job market. The announcement was made Friday by Guy Lauzon, member of Parliament for Stor- mont-Dundas-South Glengarry, on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, minister of Human Resources and Skills Development. “Our government’s top priorities are job creation, economic growth and long-term prosperity,” said Lauzon. “The government of Canada’s Youth Em- ployment Strategy is helping youth devel- op the skills and gain the experience they need to get jobs now and prepare for the workforce of tomorrow.” YOUCAN in Cornwall is receiving over $93,000 from the Skills Link program to help youth overcome barriers to employ- ment. Skills Link is part of the Government of Canada’s Youth Employment Strategy. With an annual budget of more than $300 million, YES helps youth, particularly those facing barriers to employment, obtain ca- reer information, develop employment skills, find jobs and stay employed. YES includes the Skills Link and Career Fo- cus programs and the Canada Summer Jobs initiative, which creates thousands of job opportunities for students every summer.

S.D.G. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES CENTRE: 25 YEARS OF HELPING OTHERS The S. D. & G. Developmental Services Centre is an important part of my family’s life. When we moved from Alberta in 2010 to Cornwall, I didn’t know how I would get all the proper services involved for my daughter. I got in touch with the Centre, was assigned a case worker and from then on, everything fell into place. The service at the Centre is absolutely amazing and the people who work there are always a plea- sure. we would like to just take the time to say … Thank You S. D. & G. Developmental Ser- vices, Your Services are Wonderful and we are so thankful to have you involved in our lives !! The Bobbitt-Morency Family I began working for the Centre in 1989, 23 years ago. I have learned a great deal from the families and adults, and staff that I have worked with through the years.
My case worker helped me to find all the necessary specialist, organizations and other services that we needed. She has ac- companied me to my daughter’s school to make sure all her needs are being met, she’s helped me to apply to different organiza- tions for different kinds of funding and so on. Eventually, they helped us find a respite worker to come tomy home who could help with daily activities that are becomingmore difficult with my daughter and to just give my daughter’s Dad and I a little break every now and again. Our daughter is completely dependent on us for everything from fee- ding, dressing, bathing, etc .. because she cannot walk, talk or crawl. Therefore, we appreciate the respite worker coming into our home so we can get a break from doing all the things we do for her. We feel very blessed to have the Centre involved in our lives and appreciate all that they do. It makes us feel like there are ac- tual people out there that do care about our family’s well-being and make sure that we have everyone involved that needs to be. They are truly a wonderful Centre and
When you work every day with those who are in need of care, you must have empathy and respect for people you deal with every day. The co-workers I met over the years fulfilled this criteria. The Centre valiantly works to fill some of the biggest gaps, but for many of our families and clients, it is the only place that they can turn to for help. The respite program is key to the ability of families to manage over the years, as the demands of caring for an individual with special needs increase and change as they grow older. I remember parents who, while dropping their son at the respite home, said they spend all the weekend trying to rest and recover from the exhaustion expe- rienced as a result of the day to day care giving, trying to get other services, and as- king for someone to listen. Another family said it was the only place they could leave their high needs child and feel they would not have to worry about him. We have many adults with almost no support who are trying to live in the com-

munity and manage on a fixed income. If it was possible to change things, I would like to see them with frequent home visitors to help on a daily basis with mail, budgets, bill-paying , meal preparation and social connection. Often they are using the local food banks to get through to the end of the month. Many people struggle with mental health issues in addition to their develop- mental disability; they require even more understanding and support. In summary, working for the Centre has been very important to me; I feel that my small contribution helps to make a diffe- rence in the lives of the people we serve. Raising a son who is developmentally challenged requires emotional strength and flexibility. Our son, Ian Dafoe, is one of those special people that needs additional attention, whether minimal or complex,. We have been challenged by the additional medical, care-giving, and educational res- ponsibilities that our son requires. We have had great support from family, friends, the community and in particular, the staff and services of the S. D. & G. Developmental Ser- vices Centre. One of the programs developed by S. D. L:aura Lipton
& G. Developmental Services Centre, that we have used on a respite basis, is the Fami- ly Relief Program for Developmentally Chal- lenged Adults. This program has allowed Ian to enjoy additional opportunities of life skill development, community outings, rec- reational activities while, at the same time, allows us personal time with family and friends and opportunities of rest and relaxa- tion. What has been the result? We have seen Ian being treated with the utmost care and respect as Program staff have helped him in his life skill development & commu- nity involvement. The staff and supervision are excellent; they are always greet us with a smile and Ian is always greeted with a little joke – “Are you back here again?” For the past 29 years, the Dafoe family has been privileged of being able to use this support service on an as-needed basis and we could not be happier with the ser- vice. As such, we can spend time with Ian’s brother, Shawn and his family, who live some distance away or take a short vacation to enjoy time to ourselves, knowing full well that Ian is in good support hands, learning a range of meaningful life skills and enjoying recreation activities with his friends that he has developed along the way.
