Cornwall remembers its fallen
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old, age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.” These were the words that echoed at the Cornwall Cenotaph, where thousands of the city’s residents came to pay their respect on November 11. An eerie silence overcame the crowd, as the nation’s ag proudly danced in the wind and a nearby church’s bells pierced the cold, morning air. Countless police ofcers, remen, veterans and current Canadian Armed Forces members proudly made their way to the cenotaph, before coming to a complete, straight stop MORE PHOTOS ON PAGE 10
In the name of accessibility... FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca
The City of Cornwall hopes to become an accessible and barrier-free community by 2025. To help achieve that goal, the City relies in part on the Municipal Accessibility Advisory Committee (MAAC). This volunteer group of residents advises Council on accessibility matters and provides annual updates on Cornwall’s progress in becoming barrier-free.

For some, a simple walk in the park or taking the three-o’ clock bus can be a real challenge or can even be impossible. Such is the case for people afflicted with disabilities and who reside in Cornwall. Although the term is widely used, its broa- der explanation might come as a surprise to many. The term covers several afflictions and is described by the Ontario Human Rights Commission as “any degree of physical disability, infirmity, malformation or dis- figurement that is caused by bodily injury, birth defect or illness and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, includes
diabetes mellitus, epilepsy, a brain injury, any degree of paralysis, amputation, lack of physical co-ordination, blindness or visual impediment, deafness or hearing impediment, muteness or speech impedi- ment, or physical reliance on a guide dog or other animal or on a wheelchair or other remedial appliance or device.” In addition, the province’s system for human rights also states that “a condition of mental impairment or a developmental disability, a learning disability, or a dys- function in one or more of the processes involved in understanding or using symbols or spoken language as well as a mental
disorder” is to be considered a disability. Such people often have limitedmobility and are therefore at a disadvantage when visiting some buildings. The Province of Ontario established the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) The Act’s mission is to “develop, imple- ment and enforce accessibility standards in order to achieve accessibility for Ontarians with disabilities with respect to goods, ser- vices, facilities, accommodation, employ- ment, buildings, structures and premises on or before January 1, 2025.” A change that isn’t that expensive It’s been 10 years since the AODA came
into effect and, in that time, the City has made tremendous gains on accessibility, utilizing one simple tactic. Manon Levesque, deputy City clerk and accessibility advisor for the City of Cornwall, explained that steps are taken to ensure proper accessibility prior to the construction of City projects. “It’s not man- datory to do so,” she said. “But we think it’s a great idea. The cost to build something properly accessible is nearly the same as its less accessible counterpart.” She pointed to the Benson Centre as being “the perfect example”. “With the Benson Centre, we decided to put in

elevators,” she explained. “We put larger hallways. In all, it wasn’t that much more expensive.” Cornwall answering the call From the hallways of the flagship Benson Centre to new play structures in community parks, Cornwall is slowly transforming itself into an accessible city. In order to answer the needs of peo- ple with disabilities, the City created the Accessibility Plan . “The council of the City of Cornwall is committed to working towards a city in which no new barriers are created and existing ones are removed,” states the plan. “This responsibility rests with every social and economic sector, every region, every government, every organization, institu- tion and association and every person in Cornwall and Ontario.” The plan has also set a goal of achieving an accessible and barrier-free community by 2025. To help achieve that goal, the City relies in part on theMunicipal Accessibility Advisory Committee (MAAC).This volun- teer group of residents advises council on accessibility matters and provides annual updates on Cornwall’s progress in beco- ming barrier-free. “We have become known as one of the leaders in the province on accessibility is- sues,” said Levesque. “We took a pro-active approachmany years ago and it is starting to pay dividends.The results are becoming more apparent and we continue to make strides every year.” On November 5, theMAAC took things a step further by organizing a tour to show- case the accessibility features in place at a number of public facilities and parks in Cornwall. City officials, MAAC members and other community leaders got to see and hear about the accessibility features in place at the Aquatic Centre, Benson Centre, Cornwall Public Library, Cornwall Transit and numerous parks. Tour participants got to see a whole slate of features that add to Cornwall’s reputation as an accessible community.This includes ramped pool entrances and swimming aids at the Aquatic Centre, designated seating areas for persons in wheelchairs and their families at the Benson Centre and elevator access and large-print of- ferings at the library, to name just a few. Tour participants were transported by Cornwall Transit, which proudly offers a Handi-Transit service. “Thanks to the work of MAAC and the support of City council, we really have come a long way in removing barriers in our community,” said Manon Levesque. Thirteen of the City’s parks have splash- pads and/or accessible playground equip- ment, with plans to addmore in the future. In addition, eight intersections are now equipped with audible pedestrian signals.
students bring home important wins Three students of the St. Joseph Catholic Secondary School took home an important win, during the Upper Canada Cup Cross Country Championships, held at Memorial Park in Brockville, on October 27. Cole Lavigne, Braeden Levac and Ally Hebert were honored by their school and awarded medals for their feat. The event attracted 1,200 runners from across the Upper Canada District School Board, and utilized a Sportstats timing chip system, which provided organizers with instantaneous results.

La musique du fond du chœur
ALEXANDRA MONTMINY alexandra.montminy@eap.on.ca
Les choristes du Chœur en Fête, dirigés par Michèle Chauvin-Bourdon, étaient tout en voix lors de la 4e édition de Vive Cornwall en 2013
Michèle Chauvin-Bourdon le dit elle-mê- me : elle construit des chorales partout où elle va. C’est sans doute que lamusique a coulé dans ses veines presque toute sa vie. Portait d’une amoureuse du rythme et des harmonies. C’est depuis 15 ans queMichèle Chauvin- Bourdon s’occupe de la direction artistique de la chorale le Chœur en Fête. « Mon conjoint a fréquenté le Collège classique de Cornwall. Il a fait partie d’une chorale, à l’époque, qui s’appelait Les Voix de l’Harmonie. À chaque année, ils se rencontrent durant l’été pour
des retrouvailles amicales, et ça chante, et ils ont du plaisir! Lors d’une des rencontres à laquelle j’ai participé, j’ai vu que personne ne faisait actuellement partie d’une chorale. Alors j’ai demandé : pourquoi? Ils m’ont ré- pondu : on t’attendait! Lorsque nous sommes revenus de Kingston à Cornwall, j’ai tout de suite entrepris des démarches et je les ai tous contactés. C’est comme cela que ça a com- mencé et ça fait 15 ans que la chorale roule à Cornwall. Même une de mes choristes qui est là depuis le tout début chante encore avec nous », a-t-elle raconté.
En effet, la chorale, composée de 15 à 22 membres, des personnes retraitées pour la plupart, roule sa bosse à Cornwall depuis belle lurette. Le nombre de participants varie d’une saison à l’autre. « Cela varie en fonc- tion de ceux qui passent l’hiver en Floride », a plaisantéMme Chauvin-Bourdon. « Nous avons quatre hommes et les autres partici- pantes sont des femmes », a-t-elle poursuivi. Le recrutement s’avère quelquefois difficile pour la troupe, puisque selon la directrice, c’est plutôt du bouche-à-oreille qui fait que les gens s’inscrivent. « Comme c’est du bénévolat, ce n’est pas toujours évident de recruter des nouveaux choristes, c’est tout un mandat. Il faut assister aux pratiques et se rendre disponible aux dates des concerts » a-t-elle ajouté. Celle qui a enseigné lamusique pendant de nombreuses années a réussi à mettre sa passion en action à travers l’Ontario et le Québec. « J’ai enseigné la musique à Cornwall, il y a longtemps, puis dans le nord du Québec, à Chapais, puis ensuite à Kingston. J’ai toujours donné des leçons de piano aussi. » Cet amour de l’enseignement de la musique se transmet maintenant bé- névolement, à tous les choristes de Chœur en Fête. En plus de diriger la chorale, Mme Chauvin-Bourdon écrit les différentes partitions musicales. « Je dois regarder les partitions et faire les arrangements pour notre groupe. Si la partition est à quatre voix, il faut lamodifier puisque nous n’avons pas assez d’hommes! Donc je dois faire des modifications aux altos et combiner les voix ténors et basses pour ne faire qu’une seule voix », a-t-elle décrit. «Maintenant j’écris les
partitions avec un logiciel à l’ordinateur. Au début, c’était tout un apprentissage. Mais aujourd’hui, ça me prends un peu moins de temps que la retranscription à lamain. » Même si la lecture des partitions n’est pas donnée à tous, les chanteurs de la chorale de Michèle Chauvin-Bourdon arrivent à suivre la cadence. « J’ai enseigné lamusique pendant de nombreuses années, mais les choristes arrivent tout demême à suivre les partitions même s’ils n’ont pas eu de cours théoriques proprement dit. La musique est un langage, avec une autre écriture, que tous peuvent comprendre », a-t-elle expliqué. Le répertoire de Chœur en Fête est très varié, puisque les pièces sont choisies par les membres du chœur eux-mêmes. « Les pièces sont choisies de façon un peu interactive. Les membres peuvent me soumettre les parti- tions demusique qu’ils souhaitent appren- dre. Mais il faut les partitions, je ne veux pas apprendre seulement à l’aide d’un disque », a expliqué. Mme Chauvin-Bourdon. Allant d’Isabelle Boulay à Jean-Pierre Ferland en passant par Félix Leclerc, la troupe navigue entre plusieurs genres musicaux. « Une de nos chansons favorites est La langue de chez nous d’Yves Duteil, puisqu’el- le est très significative pour nous. Ça fait huit ou neuf ans qu’on la fait, mais on ne veut pas l’abandonner », a-t-elle déclaré. La troupe fait essentiellement des spectacles dans les résidences pour personnes âgées. « On fait des concerts dans les foyers de personnes âgées, quatre durant le temps de Noël et quatre au printemps. On a une partie de notre répertoire, environ un quart, qui est anglophone, parce que dans les foyers pour personnes âgées, il y a beaucoup de gens

anglophones. On fait beaucoup de spiritual en anglais comme I Feel the Spirit ou encore Lord I Want , mais aussi du folklore et de la chanson populaire en anglais et en français », a expliqué Mme Chauvin-Bourdon. Cette année, le Chœur en Fête a eu la chance de faire entendre ses voix lors des cérémonies de la Fête du drapeau franco-ontarien, à Cornwall. « Nous avons chanté pour le drapeau franco-ontarien, pour la promenade d’honneur. Nous avons interprété le Oh, Canada et Mon beau drapeau . Ça été un beau moment (…) L’importance du français n’est pas toujours comprise par les jeunes, c’est plus tard qu’ils sentent le besoin de protéger la langue. Au moins, il y a beaucoup d’ateliers dans les écoles pour promouvoir le français, grâce à la Fédération de la jeunesse franco-ontarienne (FESFO) », a-t-elle affirmé. « On fait aussi des concerts de Noël. Cette année les représenta- tions auront lieu les 2 et 3 décembre ainsi que les 9 et 10 décembre. Les spectacles donnés les mercredis sont en après-midi et ceux donnés les jeudis sont en soirée. Chaque représentation a lieu dans une résidence différente », a rappelé Michèle Chauvin-Bourdon. Bien que le Chœur en Fête soit affilié avec le théâtre L’Amalgame, Mme Chauvin-Bourdon a spécifié que ce sont deux entités diffé- rentes. « La chorale est affiliée avec le théâtre L’Amalgame, mais est complètement autonome, on ne fait pas de spectacles ensemble et on ne récolte pas d’argent pour nos spectacles. Pour nous, c’est un plaisir de chanter », a affirmé la directrice de la chorale.
Michèle Chauvin-Bourdon a également enseigné le piano pendant de nombreuses années, en Ontario et au Québec, avant de fonder le Chœur en Fête.

Taking a seat in the artistic director’s chair

Food for Fines The annual Food for Fines campaign at SD&G County Library is back this November. Once again, library patrons are invited to pay off overdue fines by donating non-perishable food items from November 16 to 30. For each item donated, one dollar of fines will be forgiven. The campaign is a win-win for patrons as they have the opportunity to give back to their communities while also clearing up outstanding library fines. The campaign is also a benefit for the SDG community. Branches will work with local food banks to ensure donated items reach the communities they serve. In some cases, local food banks have also provided branches lists of items that are in high demand in their communities. “Food for Fines is a great way for both the library and the residents to get involved in the community,” said Karen Franklin, director of library services.
Behind every one of the Upper Canada Playhouse’s successful plays is a man who, having already been in the spotlight in the past, would rather take a backseat to the audience’s loud applauses. “You’re only as good as your last show,” he said, his lips curving into a smile. Donnie Bowes, the Playhouse’s artistic director, takes off his fall coat and drops his hat on the table in front of him, before sitting on a small of- fice chair. One look at him reveals that he’s a man who has lived quite an exciting life. Originally from New Brunswick, he ob- tained a degree in English but admits that the love of theater nearly sent himoverboard. “I joined the theater society and nearly flunked my degree. I spent too much time there,” recalled Bowes. Following his graduation, he began a teaching position in New Brunswick that lasted four years. Midway through, how- ever, the theater bug bit him again. “I left my teaching job onemonth before the sum- mer, in order to go work at a small Montreal theater called La Poudrière,” he admitted. He served as the theater’s stage manager and was awarded with his first “true” taste of show business. In addition, the move created what he calls his first culture clash. “I moved there in 1975, and immediately, I noticed how busy it was. Do keep inmind that it was the year before the big Montreal Olympics. It was buzzing!” Although he left the city following the end of his contract, he highlights that it was “a great experience and a great introduction to the real theater world.” He resumed his teaching position in his native province, but soon enough, the hard- working man was once again on the prowl, moving to Toronto. “At first it was scary,” he said, looking around the room. “But my first month there, I managed to land a role in a musical. I couldn’t sing much, but I could carry a tune. If you can act and sing, you’re worth a lot.” A community within a city, the actor’s ghetto Surrounded by other actors, Bowes soon became submerged in the theater culture that was heavily present in Toronto’s down- town. “The people I worked with becamemy friends. They showed me everything about the city and even introduced me to what they called the actor ghetto.” The “actor ghetto” was a community within a city. Consisting of a small number of apartment buildings, it housed a good portion of the city’s actors. “It was a great thing to experience,” he explained, adjusting himself on the small chair. “We all wanted to make it big, to further our careers. There wasn’t always a role for all of us, so when- ever auditions were about to take place, you could hear, through the walls, all the other habitants of the apartment, practicing the same lines!”
Above all, every actor wanted to do be on television, as it paid the most. “If you were to walk on Young Street and see this actor walking around with a brand-new leather jacket, you knew full well that he was acting on television. Nowadays it seems to have changed, as actors in musicals are being paid more.” While discussing the memories of his nine years spent in the actor’s ghetto, one can plainly see the raw emotions resurfacing on the 65-year-old man’s face. “You’d go to sleep never knowing where you’d be the next time you want to bed,” he said. Bowes trav- elled extensively across Canada, in order to direct and star in plays. “I went toMontreal, Calgary and even New Brunswick.” It’s in the strange but comforting neigh- bourhood that Bowes, then in his late twen- ties, came to a life-changing realisation. “I figured that there were three types of actors,” he indicated. “Some wanted to become big, the next star. Some just couldn’t do it and eventually left the profession. Then there were others, likeme, who simply wanted to do what they loved, all the while being able to survive, doing it.” Following his departure from Toronto, he established his own theater company, in Mississauga.That’s when the outgoingman discovered his love of marketing. “I loved running the show. I was in charge of reach- ing out to newspapers and radio stations. It was great, but it certainly was challenging.” Bowes points to the fact that most of his clientele lived in Toronto, therefore he had to cater to the big city’s hundreds of radio stations. “Newspapers were easy, but radio stations were different,” he stressed, uttering a loud sigh. “There’s just somany of them, I didn’t know which one to go with.” From the big city to Morrisburg After several years of irregular schedules and overnight travels, Bowes was offered what he considers is the chance of a lifetime. Fifteen years ago, he learned that the Upper Canada Playhouse, located in Morrisburg, was in need of an artistic director. “I have acted in several plays and musicals,” said Bowes. “But I’ve always, deep down, wanted to direct.” And directing he has. His role consists of being in charge of at least three to four plays a year. “When we have guest directors, I act as production assistant, meaning I help out with the guest director’s every need.” The artistic director’s other roles include marketing and promotion. “I’m the one in charge of dealing with local newspapers in order to get out our name out,” he explained. “I do everything so that our season starts off right.” In his own words, Bowes compares himself to a parish priest. “Being an artis- tic director means you must be the face of the Playhouse and you must also be in the community and be a part of it.”

Un capitaine visite La Citadelle Le 11 novembre dernier, le capitaine de corvette Jean D. Lalonde est venu discuter de son métier à l’École secondaire catholique La Citadelle. Les élèves ont appris ce qu’est une corvette, soit un petit navire de guerre. Elle est traditionnellement considérée comme l’un des plus petits bateaux de la marine. La corvette pèse typiquement entre 500 et 2000 tonnes. En plus de la présentation, les élèves ont aussi décoré plusieurs coquelicots et se sont on informés quant au rôle qu’a joué le Canada lors des deux guerres mondiales et de la Guerre de Corée.

Cleaning the Raisin River
On October 25, the Raisin River shoreline at Pitt and Tollgate in Cornwall got a water friendly makeover when over 60 volunteers planted 400 trees and shrubs. The water’s edge plantation came out of a grant that Raisin Region Conservation Authority’s (RRCA) recently received from the RBC Bluewater Project to make habitat improvements along the Raisin River shoreline within the City of Cornwall. RRCA, RBC, Tim Hortons and City of Cornwall staff joined students, nearby homeowners, and family members to create a riparian (shoreline) buffer zone located next to the local Tim Hortons. Pictured above are Karen Douglass Cooper (River Protection Network), Lissa Deslandes, Normand Genier and Matt Levac (Raisin Region Conservation Authority).
A way of saying thank you
An innovative Central Public School and General Vanier after-school program has prompted the Boys and Girls Club of Cornwall to adopt it. The project is geared at thanking veterans for their service. «Respect is a big thing we talk about in school and we also bring it into our after-school program,” explained Trevor Smith, communications and marketing co-ordinator for the Boys and Girls Club. The students therefore created countless cards, expressing their gratitude for the sacrifices made during past conflicts. The project was created by Toni Murray, a Boys and Girls Club after-school program employee. The dedicated woman also happens to work at the Royal Canadian Legion and therefore delivered the cards to veterans after the Remembrance Day ceremonies on November 11. Pictured are Hayden, holding his newly created card, and Toni Murray.

Cornwall remembers its fallen
Thousands of Cornwall citizens gathered at the city’s cenotaph on November 11, in order to pay their respect to those who died during the two World Wars, the Korean War as well as the Afghanistan War. Members of every branch of the Canadian Armed Forces were present, as well as Cornwall Police officers, RCMP members and OPP. All of them paraded from the Cornwall Legion before coming to a silent stop in front of the cenotaph. “Today, we honour those who have given all they could in sacrifice,» explained Linda Fisher, president of the Legion Branch 297. Several dignitaries, such as MP Guy Lauzon and MPP Jim McDonell, laid wreaths at the foot of the cenotaph.

Job Zone d’emploi célèbre 30 années de service à Cornwall ainsi que les comtés de Stormont et Dundas et tiendra pour l’occasion une journée portes ouvertes, le vendredi 27 novembre prochain, à compter de 8 h 30. Jusqu’à 16 h, des rafraîchissements seront servis et des prix seront décernés aux visiteurs. Job Zone d’emploi est un organisme sans but lucratif qui prépare, guide et aide, dans les deux langues officielles, les gens à trouver de l’emploi par le biais de conseils enmatière d’emploi et de carrière, de ressources infor- matives, de possibilités d’emploi et d’accès à des services communautaires et d’approche. En novembre 1985, l’organisme Job Zone d’emploi était connu sous le nomde Centre de counseling d’emploi pour les jeunes. À l’épo- que, le personnel de l’organisme ne comptait que trois membres, mais a continué de grandir avec les années. La demande de service se faisant grandissante, l’organisme a dû procé- der à l’expansion de ses installations. Ainsi, le Centre a commencé à offrir une variété de services, lesquels étaient développés en fonction des besoins individuels des groupes segmentés au sein de sa jeune clientèle. En 1992, en raison de l’état de l’écono- mie et de l’emploi à Cornwall, le Centre de counseling d’emploi pour les jeunes a été incorporé sous le nomde Centre de ressources d’emploi et d’éducation de Cornwall et dis- trict, inc. (CREÉ). Il offrait alors des services aux adultes, en plus des services déjà offerts aux jeunes.
C’est en décembre 2002 que le CREÉ a dé- cidé qu’un nouveau look et un nouveau nom lui étaient nécessaires : Job Zone d’emploi. Aujourd’hui, Job Zone d’emploi emploie 44
professionnels sous la direction de Wendy Woods-Fontaine. L’organisme est chapeauté par un conseil d’administration formé de membres de la communauté.
Sensibiliser pour vaincre l’intimidation
La semaine du 15 au 21 novembre est la semaine de la sensibilisation à l’intimida- tion et de la prévention dans la province de l’Ontario. L’intimidation affecte tant les enfants, les adolescents que les adultes, alors que près de 40 % des travailleurs en sont victimes, selon les Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada (IRSC). Les personnes âgées sont également exposées à de l’abus verbal et psychologique, de l’abus qui proviennent souvent d’un membre de leur famille. L’intimidation entraîne des conséquen- ces, tant chez les victimes que chez les inti- midateurs. Selon la Coalition pour prévenir et contrer l’intimidation de Prescott-Russell, un enfant victime d’intimidation est plus à risque de souffrir régulièrement demaux de tête, d’indigestion, de dépression et d’an- xiété, en plus de troubles de santémentale à long terme. Les enfants qui intimident sont, pour leur part, plus à risque de prendre des
drogues et de l’alcool. Selon le site PREVNet. ca, ils ont aussi un taux de suicide plus élevé qu’un enfant qui est victime d’intimidation. Les effets de l’intimidation se font aussi sentir sur le Web. Selon la Croix-Rouge ca- nadienne, un enfant sur huit subit de la cy- berintimidation aumoins une fois par mois, que ce soit par messagerie texte, courriel ou via les réseaux sociaux. Les IRSC rapportent aussi que 7 %des internautes canadiens âgés de 18 ans et plus ont déclaré avoir déjà été victimes de cyberintimidation. Pour éliminer ce problème social, la Coalition pour prévenir et contrer l’intimida- tion de Prescott-Russell souligne qu’il ne faut pas avoir peur de dénoncer l’intimidation, malgré la difficulté que cela peut représenter. Des ressources sont disponibles pour les parents, les enfants et les profession- nels sur le site Web de la Coalition à www. PRUnisContreLintimidation.ca et du soutien additionnel est offert au 1-800-675-6168.

Trio of theater greats honored
Name/Nom:________________________________________________________
Address/Adresse: ____________________________________________________
The Centre for the Arts Collective organized its first ever gala, on October 30. During the evening, lifelong awards were presented to three very important members of the theater community. Edith Styles, Lionel Tessier and TomThompson served in every capacity, from actor to set designer to director and producer, and contributed several years of drama, cabaret and musicals to grateful audiences. Their achievements laid the foundation of the flourishing theatre scene that animates Cornwall’s local art movement. The honorees all have ties to the Vagabond Theatre and Seaway Valley Theatre Company. In addition to the formal awards presented on behalf of the city, and in Edith Stiles’ case, from the federal government too, they were also all recognized by the province, with SD&G MPP Jim McDonell presenting them with a certificate.
