Councillor Glen Grant said he will do a cost-benefit anal y sis, but did not see m op- ti m istic about the beach proposal. “I don’t see that being a priorit y for our waterfront,” he told co mm ittee m e m bers. Beehler, in an interview with The Journal after the m eeting, said that m ercur y was the initial concern when the sa m ples were taken. “Mercur y can be a ver y trick y ele m ent and it’s a substance that can easil y beco m e bio- available throughout the food chain.” “And y ou don’t want to have those con- ta m inated sedi m ents re-suspended so that m ercur y beco m es available throughout the food chain because eventuall y it will m ake its wa y to hu m ans.” But when the sa m ples were drawn, the y were “anal y zed for a slew of che m ical co m - ponents,” Beehler said. Aside fro m m ercur y , the testing discov- ered the heav y m etals chro m iu m , nickel, copper, zinc, cad m iu m and lead in a m ounts exceeding federal li m its. The m etals are tox- ic to hu m ans at excessive levels and chronic exposure m a y also be hazardous. The heav y m etals found in the sa m ples are a m ong 10 “persistent toxic substances of concern” set out in the Canada-U.S. Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement in 1978, ac- cording to Environ m ent Canada. The agree m ent set li m its for the heav y m etals arsenic, cad m iu m , chro m iu m , cop- per, iron, lead, m ercur y , nickel, seleniu m and zinc.

A plan for a beach behind the Royal Cana- dian Air Force Wing Association in Corn- wall may be dead in the water. Me m bers of Cornwall’s Waterfront Devel- op m ent Co mm ittee learned Thursda y eve- ning that the proposed site for a cit y beach is conta m inated with a nu m ber of heav y m etals, including m ercur y . Katherine Beehler of the federal-provin- cial Re m edial Action Plan, said it would be “a huge undertaking” to create at beach at the inlet behind the RCAFA wing, just east of the public boat launch in La m oureux Park. “It is a huge undertaking and it is a strat- eg y that is a long-ter m strateg y in the Corn- wall area.” The conta m ination was discovered in sa m ples taken in 2008 as part of the ap- proval process for an RCAFA project to con- struct boat docks in the inlet. The RCAFA was forced suspend the docks fro m the shoreline to prevent disturbance on the conta m inants in the sedi m ent of the inlet. “It doesn’t see m to be too encouraging,” said co mm ittee chair Lee Cassid y , after hearing Beehler’s assess m ent. Cassid y sug- gested it m a y be ti m e “to put the beach to bed.”

City to borrow $10.4M to pay for Benson Centre
He also argued it would be less costl y for the cit y to borrow fro m the Progress Fund principal and then repa y it. The Progress Fund is earning around two per cent interest annuall y , said Maureen Ada m s, the cit y ’s finance m anager. The cit y will pa y a 3.4 per cent interest on its loan for the sports facilit y . Ada m s also stressed that using Progress Fund interest to repa y the Benson Centre loan will li m it council’s abilit y to react to an y unforeseen finan- cial liabilities. Cle m ent said she was disappointed the cit y didn’t at least evaluate the potential savings of borrowing fro m Progress Fund principal and she warned that the loan co mm it m ent will dr y up revenue for future cit y projects. She urged that cit y council have “a full discussion” around the use of the Progress Fund. Councillor Andre Rivette said a b y law pro- hibiting the use of Progress Fund principal b y cit y council is “prett y airtight”. Under the b y law, a unani m ous vote of council is needed to touch the fund’s prin- cipal. That would never happen because he would vote against such a proposal, Rivette said. Councillor Denis Thibault said there could be different wa y s to fund the cit y ’s portion of the Benson Centre bill that would cost less. “But at the end of the da y , there is a b y - law in place.”

Mike van der Jagt, of the Canadian Rac- ing Pigeon Union, listens to a council member after his presentation arguing against the city’s ban on pigeon fanciers last Tuesday night. Pigeon ban causes flap at city hall Don’t ever tell pigeon owners not to have a bird. That may be the lesson for Cornwall city council after racing pigeon fanciers flocked to city hall last night to protest a ban on their birds. With a galler y of supporters behind hi m , Mike van der Jagt of the Canadian Racing Pigeon Union convinced council at last Tuesda y ’s m eeting to review its decision to outlaw the birds. Cit y council sent “shockwaves” through the racing pigeon co mm unit y when it re- centl y decided to ban the birds over health concerns, van der Jagt said. The m anner in which the m anner was handled b y the cit y elicited an apolog y fro m Councillor Elaine MacDonald after the presentation b y van der Jagt. “I think we m ade a m istake so I want to apologize to all the birders out there,” Mac- Donald said. But she said ad m inistration’s “ignorance” on the issue was not totall y its fault, be- cause staff did not know of the existence of racing pigeon organization. Van der Jagt said there are virtuall y no diseases passed to hu m ans fro m the birds and argued the y are less of a health concern than other do m esticated ani m als like dogs and cats.
Carr had argued the cit y should borrow fro m the principal of the fund to avoid $3.6 m illion in interest costs. And Councillor Ber- nadette Cle m ent argued that cit y should have at least exa m ined the option of using the principal. But council opted at its m eeting last Tues- da y , to follow the ad m inistration’s reco m - m endation to borrow the m one y instead. The cit y has a b y law in place protecting the principal of the fund, created through the sale of Cornwall Electric to Enbridge Inc. for $68 m illion in 1998. Enbridge sold the utilit y to Fortis Inc. in 2002 for $67 m illion. “It’s going to tie up the Progress fund over the next 15 y ears,” argued Carr, who rh ym ed off a nu m ber of high profile cit y projects that have benefitted fro m the fund’s rev- enue generation.

Health officials argue in favour of fluoridation Medical officer of health Dr. Paul Roumeliotis throws up his hands as he argues in fa- vour of the continuing fluoridation of Cornwall’s drinking water during a meeting of Cornwall city council last Tuesday, while councillors Bernadette Clement, centre, and Andre Rivette listen intently.

Fluoridation is not just i m portant for the oral health of children. A growing nu m ber of seniors and bab y boo m ers will benefit fro m fluoridation, Rou m eliotis said. “We are dealing with both ends of the spectru m .” Coone y stressed that there are m ore ben- efits to fluoridation than si m pl y preventing cavities. “This isn’t reall y a discussion about teeth. This is a discussion about health,” Coone y told council m e m bers. The region’s residents, who alread y suf- fer fro m higher than average incidences of chronic illnesses like heart disease, diabetes and cancer, will be even harder hit if the cit y stops fluoridating drinking water, Coone y said. He said there has been considerable i m - prove m ent in the oral health of children and adults in Cornwall due to fluoridation of drinking water. “That’s who fluoride hits. It hits those who are vulnerable. It’s a safe and effective inter- vention,” he told cit y councillors. Council referred the issue to ad m inistra- tion for review.

Removing fluoride from Cornwall’s drink- ing water would be a blow to the health of its most vulnerable residents, medical officials argued at last week’s meeting of Cornwall city council. The area’s m edical officer of health Dr. Paul Rou m eliotis, Canada’s chief dental offi- cer Dr. Peter Coone y argued fluoridation of cit y water should continue. The three were at council to respond to a presentation against fluoridation b y Paul Brisebois, of Fluoride Free Cornwall on Sept. 10. “There is a tre m endous value to water fluoridation,” said Rou m eliotis. “When water is fluoridated, we actuall y provide a blanket cover of protection.” The Cornwall area struggles with “chronic disease challenges”, which are higher than in the rest of Ontario. “Our local situation is cr y ing for help,” he said.

But van der Jagt said pigeons onl y def- ecate while the y are roosting, and the birds kept b y pigeon fanciers alwa y s roost inside their own speciall y built loft.

City woman to launch first CD Saturday
“It was alwa y s a drea m , but it never reall y ca m e to fruition,” she said. Pressed about wh y it took her so long to finall y realize her m usical destination, she struggles to co m e up with a definitive an- swer. She eventuall y sur m ises a lack of confi- dence prevented her fro m sharing in the l y rical for m what were, in so m e cases, pro- found life experiences. “Absolutel y , it was a personal thing,” she concludes. “ELECTIC STYLE’ Delage has a broad range of m usical influ- ences – countr y , folk, rock, jazz and blues. So when asked to define her m usic she si m - pl y describes it as “eclectic”. But if she was forced to choose one bin for her disc, she would likel y select “adult conte m porar y ”, she said. She will be launching her CD with a live show at the St. Lawrence Power Develop- m ent Visitor Centre near the power da m on Second Street West on Saturda y at 7:30 p. m . Attendees will receive a co m pli m entar y cop y of her disc. There will be a reception after at Katerina’s Restaurant at 1195 Sec- ond Street West. Delage will be perfor m ing with her friend and guitarist Rod Robillard, of TKT Studios, which produced the CD, along with Greg Deruchie on r y th m n, Ji m Sharp on dru m s, Bobb y Tessier on bass guitar and flutist-per- cussionist Marc Carriere.
GREG KIELEC greg.kielec@eap.on.ca
Ro x anne Delage’s first music album has been a long-time going. The songwriting process for her first ever CD, The Wa y I A m , began 30 m onths ago. But the 48- y ear-old Cornwall resident has been dabbling in the art for m uch of her adult life. When Delage hits the stage to launch her new disc at the visuall y stunning acoustic stage at Ontario Power Generation visitor’s centre in Cornwall on Nov. 24, it will be the cul m ination of a life’s experiences. For as long as Delage can re m e m ber, she has been surrounded b y m usic. Whether it was songs drifting fro m the fa m il y ’s radio or her m other Colena’s own voice, m usic was the universal language at her ho m e in the predo m inantl y Scottish North Glengarr y . SHE SANG ALL THE TIME “The m usic was alwa y s on, and she sang m uch of that ti m e,” re m e m bered Delage. “Her singing and love of m usic is what peo- ple re m e m ber her m ost for.” Her CD is dedicated to her m other, who died fro m leuke m ia in 1995 at the age of 51. “If she were still alive, she would have been over the m oon with pride about this CD,” Delage said.
Ro x anne Delage will lanuch her first ever CD with a live performance Saturday at the OPG visitors centre just east of the Power Dam on Second Street West.
It is a bit of a co m ing out for Delage, who was a self-confessed “closet songwriter” for y ears. “It was alwa y s about m usic. M y m ain passion was m usic,” said Delage during an
interview at a downtown coffee bar. She alwa y s had bits and pieces of songs – a chorus here, a m elod y there – but was never able to bring a whole song together.
New Christmas play premiering at Upper Canada Playhouse
“So it’s been a real exciting, hard week that we’ve had,” he said. “But it’s fun, it’s new.” And even then, the pla y was evolving as the cast began adding their own personal spins on their roles, Bowes said. “It’s people bringing so m ething to a show that never has been perfor m ed before,” he explained.

The cast includes a fa m iliar pla y house face, Doug Tangne y as Grandad Barners, Meredith Zwicker as Maggie Barnes and Jeff Mulroone y as Ted Barnes. Also return- ing is head elf Parris Greaves, who appeared in the pla y house’s past production of The Christ m as Express. Rounding out the cast are Bruce Tubbe, last seen in the 2001 production of The Wild Gu y s, R y an Jacobs and Jod y Os m ond who were the pla y house’s 2011 touring produc- tion of Charlotte’s Web, and newco m ers Jess Vandenburg, Cla y ton Labbe and Katie Edwards.

Feeding her soul through volunteering
“I would like to go back to the Do m inican and volunteer at the orphanage where I spent ti m e on previous trips,” she said. This energetic, and a m bitious y oung wo m an feels there are m an y changes that are needed in our world toda y . “I believe that an y changes that need to be done to reall y acco m plish an y thing significant needs to be done b y our govern m ent.” “I can easil y sa y I a m a political junk y or nerd. I think it is ver y unfortunate how little people care about politics. The decisions govern m ents m ake i m pacts all of our lives. I wish people would just pa y a little m ore attention, get a little educated on political issues and vote.” Hebert believes that the greatest Canadi- an was To mmy Douglas. “He acco m plished so m uch for our countr y , had such a passion for change, love for people and their well- being. This is a m an I look up to and would love to sit down and converse with hi m .” When asked what being successful m eans to her, Hebert is quick to sa y : “I will know I had a successful life, once I a m certain that I have m ade a per m anent i m pact on the life of the people of this co mm unit y , province, and even our countr y . I feel I can acco m - plish this one da y with a life in politics.” For now Hebert is content with helping people in m an y wa y s, through her work and in volunteering. “If I could sa y one thing to y oung people, it would be to get involved in y our co mm u- nit y . It is ver y i m portant to be part of so m e- thing bigger than y ourself. Volunteering is twofold, y ou are helping others, and y ou are feeding y our soul. It’s a reall y great feeling.”

When Carilyne Hebert was 15 years old she had the opportunity to participate in her first of three humanitarian trips to the Dominican Republic. The e x periences changed her life, and she owes her success today to the time she spent in the impov- erished nation. Toda y , the 24- y ear-old looks back on this experience realizing how m uch she learned fro m the people she m et. “I realized earl y on how luck y and spoiled we are,” said Hebert. “These people have next to nothing, but live an incredibl y hap- p y life. Fa m il y and friends are the things the y hold m ost dear to the m . When y ou see that y ou reflect on y our own life and those lives around y ou. “ “We have flat screen televisions, fanc y phones in our pockets, food on our tables and we are a m iserable population. “ “Nothing is good enough, and we alwa y s want m ore. We take our personal relation- ships for granted and cherish our things m ore than our fa m ilies.” Hebert m oved to Cornwall fro m Alexan- dria at age 12. She co m es fro m a s m all fa m - il y , and she credits her fa m il y with helping her beco m e who she is. In her parents she saw, at a y oung age, a strong work ethic.

A life changing e x perience at the age of 15 set Carilyne Hebert on the path of helping the less fortunate.
“I knew if I was going to work 40 hours a week, I wanted to m ake sure my ti m e was well spent m aking a difference,”said Hebert. As she was finishing her post-secondar y education in a business progra m at St. Law- rence College, the opportunit y to work for the Agape Centre was offered to her.“I spent al m ost two y ears there, and the things I was able to do and acco m plish were a m azing. The people I m et, and the experiences I had will sta y with m e forever.” Hebert currentl y works with Contact
North, which is an organization that pro- vides access to education in northern co m - m unities. Hebert also works as a volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters, where she has been recognized for her contributions. She has been a big sister for the last four y ears and is quick to sa y that while this experience has been great for her little sister, it has also m ade a big i m pact on her own life. Hebert has also sponsored for the past six y ears a little bo y in the Do m inican Republic.

Cornwall Colts bounce back with two road wins
with less than five m inutes left in the ga m e and Chad Millett added another with less than two m inutes to pla y , but that was as close as the Rangers could get.

Cornwall got goals fro m six different scorers as the y outshot the Grads 41 to 32.

South Glengarry frustre Howard Galganov ACTUALITÉ
editionap.ca
ANH KHOI DO anhkhoi.do@eap.on.ca
SOUTH GLENGARRY І Le militant anti-francophone Howard Galganov n’a pas pu sabrer le champagne dans sa ville de résidence. La semaine dernière, les élus du conseil de ville de South Glengarry ont décidé de ne pas voter sur la résolution de M. Galganov relative au droit pour les commerçants d’afficher dans la langue de leur choix. Après South Stormont, le canton de South Glengarry a reçu Howard Galganov. Ses partisans étaient excités. Avant la réunion, ils avaient orné l’entrée de l’hôtel de ville d’affiches en anglais sur lesquelles on pouvait lire que « l’histoire est en train de s’écrire », entre autres. Rappelons que la municipalité de South Stormont a voté en septembre, à l’unanimité, en faveur d’une résolution semblable, après une présentation impromptue de Howard Galganov. Durant son allocution, M. Galganov a dénoncé le règlement municipal du canton de Russell obligeant les commerces à afficher en français et en anglais. Ultimement, il a imploré les élus de South Glengarry de voter sur une résolution qu’il n’avait présentée qu’au directeur général de South Glengarry, Derrik Brandt. Pendant plus de la moitié de son laïus, M. Galganov a parlé de la guerre du Canada en Afghanistan. « Nos soldats se battent pour donner aux Afghans la liberté », dit-il. Ensuite, il a bifurqué vers le sujet du « bilinguisme imposé ». « Il y a des villes ontariennes où on ne peut plus afficher uniquement en anglais », proclame-t-il. « Je ne veux pas qu’on me qualifie comme étant anti-francophone, dit-il, car des francophones subissent eux-mêmes des injustices. » Cependant, il n’y a pas eu de

Durant son allocution sur les injustices subies par les anglophones ontariens, le militant anti-francophone Howard Galganov tente d’émouvoir le conseil de ville de South Glengarry et ses partisans qui se sont déplacés en grand nombre. Il tente de montrer son souci pour l’épanouissement des francophones en Ontario.
vote. Le maire Ian McLeod a déclaré que la municipalité aurait pu tenir spontanément un vote sur la résolution, mais une telle pratique ne fait pas partie des mœurs du conseil municipal. Le conseiller Frank Prévost, pour sa part, a indiqué qu’il ne s’oppose pas au droit des commerçants d’afficher dans la langue de leur choix. Cependant, il ne voit pas l’intérêt de voter sur un droit qui existe déjà. « Nous ne pouvons pas voter si nous n’avons pas une résolution à lire devant nous », a dit le conseiller Trevor Bougie. Quant à Derrik Brandt, il a ajouté qu’il
n’y a pas eu de vote car il n’y a pas eu de présentation préalable de ladite résolution devant le conseil, une proposition de la tenue d’un vote par un conseiller et un appui d’un autre conseiller. De plus, la conseillère Joyce Gravelle était à l’extérieur du pays. Quant à l’adjoint du maire, Bill McKenzie, il éprouvait des problèmes de santé. Suite à ces discussions, des partisans d’Howard Galganov ont hué les membres du conseil de ville et sont partis en coup de vent. Ils ont aussi emporté les affiches qu’ils avaient posées devant le conseil de
ville. Plus de la moitié des sièges réservés au public se sont alors vidées. Les élus municipaux sont donc passés aux points de l’ordre du jour de la réunion. Au sortir de la réunion, Chris Cameron, président de Language Fairness for All, a dit que son groupe et Howard Galganov retourneront devant le conseil municipal de South Glengarry. Pour sa part, Jean-Pierre Tibi, un résident de South Glengarry présent à la réunion des élus municipaux, croit que M. Galganov et ses partisans « perdent leur temps ».
Réduction pour étudiants : le Cornwall Transit songe à plus
De plus, sans pour autant apporter plus de détails, M. Tapp confirme que le Cornwall Transit appliquera l’année prochaine une autre réduction sur le tarif mensuel à longueur d’année pour les étudiants. «Nous n’avons pas encore un prix en tête, dit-il. Cependant, lorsque nous l’aurons, nous présenterons notre plan à la ville de Cornwall et nous attendrons l’approbation de l’hôtel de ville.» Len Tapp s’attend à ce que les discussions entre la ville de Cornwall et la société de transport en commun se déroulent bien. Tout dépendra, souligne-t-il, du budget que la ville accordera au Cornwall Transit.
ANH KHOI DO anhkhoi.do@eap.on.ca
Le Cornwall Transit, la société de transport en commun de la ville, offre pour une troisième année consécutive une réduction supplémentaire pour les étudiants en octobre et en novembre. Par contre, l’année prochaine, le Cornwall Transit songe offrir une plus grande réduction. Rappelons que le prix régulier de la carte mensuelle est de 61 $ pour les adultes et 54 $ à longueur d’année. Cependant, lors des mois d’octobre et de novembre, la société de transport établit le tarif mensuel pour
