En bref / briefs No bouquet of orchids for woman Although some say growing plants can be therapeu- tic for one’s health, throwing one might land you in trouble as a local woman learned.The 63-year-old was arrested on July 5 after it was reported that she engaged in a verbal argument with a neighbour, which escalated to her throwing some vegetation at her neighbour. The plant hit her on the back of the neck. The woman was charged with Assault with a Weapon. She was released to appear in court on August 6.The neighbour did not sustain any injuries as a result of the assault. The woman’s name is not being released in order to protect the identity of the victim. – Francis Racine Augmentation des tarifs de péage Bien que le nouveau pont soit moins massif que son grand frère, qui disparait graduellement, les tarifs de péage eux seront plus élevés. En effet, la Corporation du Pont international de la voie maritime, Ltée (CPIVN), a annoncé que les tarifs pour traverser la structure augmenteront dès le 1 er août prochain. Les automobilistes, qui autrefois devaient débourser 3,25 $, devront dorénavant payer 3,50 $. Les frais pour les autres véhicules n’ont pas encore été dévoilés. – Francis Racine Plus de transparence, dit Towndale Le conseiller municipal Justin Towndale sou- haite plus de transparence au sein de la scène politique locale. C’est pourquoi le jeune politicien a proposé l’inauguration d’un record de fréquen- tation, publié sur le site de la Ville, couvrant les réunions du conseil, les réunions budgétaires et les réunions spéciales de la Ville et des comités du conseil. Si l’idée de M. Towndale est acceptée par ses collègues, elle sera intégrée d’ici le 10 août prochain. – Francis Racine

July 28 provincial court session in Cornwall. The Akwesasne Mohawk Police Service (AMPS) investigated a June 29 complaint in St. Regis, QC, concerning two suspicious per- sons dropped off by boat. Officers located the two people and took them into custody. Po- lice alleged that the couple, WilliamEugene Keenan, 55, and Margaret Ann Keenan, 52, both of the United Kingdom, had crossed the St. Lawrence River with the goal of getting themselves smuggled into the United States. The AMPS turned over the couple to the CRTF and the Canadian Border Services for further investigation.The couple is charged for nowwith conspiracy to commit an indic- table offence, and William Keenan is also charged with obstruction for giving police a false name when he was arrested. The day after Canada Day, CRTF officers patrolling the St. Lawrence River spotted a large vessel headed east in an area known as a route for smuggling contraband.The vessel was intercepted.There was no hull number on the boat and the police report noted that it had an oversized Evinrude 300hp outboard engine driving it. Both the boat and motor were seized under Customs Act regulations. Investigation continues to determine if any charges are pending.
Half-ton illegal tabacco seized
Twomonths of surveillance and stakeouts on the St. Lawrence Seaway have paid off for police.They seizedmore than half a ton of illegal tobacco along with blackmarket cigarettes and have also arrested three people involved in a smuggling operation. The case began May 4 when Cornwall Regional Task Force (CRTF) officers were patrolling the seaway near the Québec border. They spotted a boat believed to be carrying illegal tobacco, heading east in the channel and later pulling in to shore. Police followed in too and, after a search, seized 66 garbage bags containing 869 kilograms of fine-cut tobacco worth more than $78,000. The two people seen on board the suspected smuggler’s boat had already left the area. On May 29, just after midnight, CRTF officers were doing surveillance on the St. Lawrence River when they spotted a «duck» type of boat with three people on board heading east at high speed and with no navi- gation lights showing. The boat headed off the river into Lac St-Francis on the Québec side and then was seen making a U-turn in the water and heading west. Police turned on their emergency lights and prepared to pull up alongside the boat. As they were approaching, the three people in the boat began throwing bags into the water while still heading west at high speed. Police went back to the drop site in the Penville Bay area and retrieved 20 garbage bags filled with about 260 kilograms of flavoured fine-cut tobacco, worth about $23,400. Inmid-June, police received a phone call about two garbage bags full of tobacco which had washed up on shore near a boathouse on Montreal Road in Cornwall. After col- lecting the bags at the scene, police found inside each bag 50 Ziploc bags full of light cigarettes, worth a total value of $2,200. So far police have no suspects in any of these three tobacco smuggling incidents on file. CRTF officials working in the Bainsville area on June 15 saw a red van back up to the shoreline on a piece of private property on County Road 2. They watched a person move items on the shore over to the van and place them inside. When the van left the site, police followed and stopped it. A search of the vehicle turned up garbage bags contai-
ning 591 kilograms of contraband tobacco worth more than $53,000. William Carrubba, 28, of Repentigny, QC, is now charged under the Excise Act for contraband tobacco and also under the Criminal Code for breach of probation.The 2007 Chevy Uplander van he was driving was seized, and Carrubba is scheduled for the

L’ancienne directrice de TAG poursuit la galerie en dommages punitifs.
Dans sa demande, Mme Lizotte soutient qu’elle a été convoquée à la galerie le 26 février où elle a rencontré M. Walsh pour la première fois. Celui-ci lui aurait ensuite remis une lettre qui l’informait qu’elle ferait face à une suspension immédiate d’une durée de deux semaines, pour cause d’insu- bordination. « Lamanière dont le congédiement a pris place était malveillante », a souligné Mme Lizotte dans sa demande. De son coté, la galerie nie les accusations et indique, entre autres, que la réputation de l’ancienne directrice avec les artistes était pauvre.

Are you experiencing symptoms of depres- sion, anxiety or trauma? If so, there’s a relatively new program in Cornwall that could help. Launched in 2014, the walk-in counsel- ling clinic, hosted every Thursday at the Counselling and Support Services (CSS) of SD&G (26Montreal Road), provides free help to whomever requires it. “We have a team of seven qualified professionals,” explained Raymond Houde, executive director of the organization. “We have weekly rotations, with two professionals each taking their turns.” The program’s overall objective is to re- duce pressure on local hospital emergency rooms for mental health services as well as to increase access to services for individuals afflicted withmental illness. It was also crea- ted to fill a gap in what has become a highly demanded service. “What is appealing to individuals is

KevinDelaney’s 1967 Plymouth Barracuda is an eye catcher. With its low-tone rumbling and its convertible top, it’s no surprise. Sporting the model’s base engine, 225 cubic inch slant six, makes for a very fuel efficient ride. “I love it,” explained Delaney. “It’s so good on gas.” Interestingly enough, the 1967 Barracuda features the same identical bumper in the front and back. When asked if he did any modifications to the vehicle he has now owned for the past five years, Delaney looks over it, before smiling. “I changed small things here and there, like the radio,” he highlighted. “I also recovered the seats, but other than that, the car is pretty stock.”

During the 1930s, Fay worked for a time building houses and taking correspondence courses from the Cornwall Business College. Most of his professional life was spent as an industrial accountant at the Nestle Plant in Chesterville. Cousin Roy Shaver continued to compete, became an accomplished plowman and served as president of the Ontario Plowmen’s Association in 1950. Fay was long o¦ the farm when the 1958 IPMwas held in Crysler. He didn’t compete that year but did attend as a plowing coach. From a horse-drawn walking plow to Google and Microsoft, Fay Shaver has not just witnessed but experienced the techno- logical advances of a century. He bought his rst computer in 1995 while caring for his wife. He is remarkably procient and uses emails and the Internet most days.

At 100 years of age, Fay Shaver of Maxville could very well be the oldest plowman in the province. Raised on a one hundred-acre farm at the north end of old Osnabruck Township, Stormont County, he recalls the autumn landscape and what was surely the impetus for the plowing match tradition. “After the farmers had harvested their crops and plowed their elds, it was a pan- oramic vista of plowed land throughout the country,” he remembered. “A drive through the countryside showed various degrees of good plowing, some excellent andmany not so good.” “ey were good plowmen”, he said of his neighbours in Sandtown, a dimin- ished hamlet barely recognizable today on the Sandtown Road. ‘‘ey were competi- tive, many trying to out-plow each other. In the fall it was a pic- ture to see.” Contemporary plowmen compete locally at county matches but in the early days, when Fay was a young man, the province was divided into provincial districts with townships also holding their ownmatches, he explained. In their teens and twenties, Fay and cousin Roy Shaver tore up the roads, back in the 1930s, attending a half dozen or more plowingmatches each fall, mostly in the ve Eastern Counties.ey were good plowmen, qualifying often for international and re- gional matches. When thematches were too far fromhome for their own horses, Roy and himwould haul their plows by trailer behind the car and compete with teams provided by

More cases of domestic abuse in the city A 35-year-old Cornwall woman was arrested on July 3 after it was alleged that, while in an intoxi- cated state, she yelled at her boyfriend then proceeded to punch him repeatedly. Her son observed the altercation and intervened. She then proceeded to punch him too in the face. Both men exited the residence and were subsequently locked out by the woman. Police were contacted and an investigation was conducted. The woman was charged with Domestic Assault and Assault. She was released to appear in court on August 18. One of the men sustained minor injuries as a result of the assaults. And on July 4, a 17-year-old Cornwall youth was arrested after it was alleged he engaged in a verbal argument with his common-law girlfriend at their residence. He then grabbed her by the hair, pushing her and punching her. He was charged with domestic abuse. The woman sustained minor injuries as a result of the assault. – Francis Racine
