The west wing of Cornwall Community Hospital’s McConnell Avenue site was un- veiled to glowing reviews Saturday. As many as 150 people were lined up out- side the wing housing a new emergency department, diagnostic equipment and op- erating rooms for a public unveiling of the hospital’s crown jewel at 10 a.m. Saturday. “It’s a dream come true. I couldn’t be prouder,”said Margaret Darling, a registered nurse with 44 years of service at the hospi- tal. “It’s Cornwall’s time to shine and we’re shining today.” Visitors arriving at the new wing were welcomed by hospital chief executive of- ficer Jeanette Despatie and hospital board chair Helen Periard to a large, airy entrance to the emergency department flooded nat- ural light from large windows. As they wended their way through the hallways to various departments, they were greeted by staff on hand to answer ques- tions and highlight the new and improved features of the two-floor addition to the hospital. Despatie said she was hoping the new wing would impress visitors beyond what they had imagined, and by all indications early Saturday afternoon, the bright, uplift- ing new facility did just that. “I think it had the ‘wow’ factor,” Despatie beamed. “The reaction has been very posi- tive.” It was the only opportunity for visitors – other than on a stretcher -- to see a key component of the wing, new surgical suites that will be disinfected and put into opera- tion shortly, Despatie said. With the opening of the hospital’s new west wing, Cornwall Hospital Foundation is now able to unveil the name of the $1-mil- MJPOEPOPSTUPUIF0VS)PTQJUBMt0VS'VUVSF Campaign: Rose and David Bloomfield, owners of Cornwall’s Morbern Inc. The Bloomfields whose gift remained anonymous for years will now leave a long- lasting legacy in the city. Cornwall Commu- nity Hospital will name its new diagnostic department The Rose and David Bloomfield Diagnostic Centre in their honour. Given through the David Bloomfield Fam- ily Foundation, the visionary donation was a catalyst gift received early during the Our Hospital Our Future Campaign motivating several other donors to support the project. “This region is important to us,”says David Bloomfield. “Rose and I started Morbern Inc. in Cornwall over 50 years ago. During that

And she cautioned that there is still one more year of work to be done before the entire hospital restructuring is complete. “Then we will have a big shebang,” she said. Periard said there were plenty of surprises for visitors eager to get a peek at the new digs. “I believe they were surprised by ev- erything,” she said. One of the big attractions was the new magnetic resonance imaging machine, housed in one of a number of diagnos- tic suites along a long hallway containing $15.5 million in high-tech equipment all raised by public dollars. “Everyone wanted to see the MRI,” Periard said. It was a piece of equipment foremost in the mind of Colleen MacLean of Ingleside, who has travelled to Kingston in the past to get an MRI scan completed. The MRI in Cornwall will lift a huge financial burden Margaret Darling, above, a registered nurse with Cornwall Community Hospi- tal, points to a newemergency treatment area at the hospitals’ new west wing. Pic- tured right, visitors talk in a well-lit foyer on the ground level of the wing.
from people on fixed incomes who previ- ously travelled to Ottawa or Kingston for a scan, she said. Nancy-Ann Bush, manager of infection and prevention control, was welcoming visitors on their way to examine the new day-surgery suites, said she was “incredibly excited” about moving into the new wing. “It’s everything we expected and more. It’s bright and full of light.” Hospital changes parking rates Cornwall Community Hospital is changing to a variable parking rate from its flat rate of five dollars per day to better meet the needs of patients and visitors, according to the hospital. “Due to increased public demand, we are evolving from a daily rate system to a vari- able rate system, which will save people money when they visit the hospital for a short period of time,” said hospital commu- nications co-ordinator Shaun MacDonald. Under the new system, the minimum rate drops to three dollars for visits of less than an hour, two dollars less than the previously used flat rate, but will increase to six dollars for visitors staying longer than an hour, one dollar more than the previous flat rate.

Kathleen Wynne high on Cornwall’s SigmaPoint
Police dismantle grow-op near schools
A traffic stop resulting in a marijuana po- session arrest turned into the bust of a major grow operation across the street from three schools recently. On the evening of March 20, following a traffic stop in Cornwall, members of the Cornwall Regional Task Force, Serious & Or- ganized Crime Section arrested a male for transporting marijuana. Further investigation led police to execute a search warrant in the early morning hours of March 21, at a residence located across the street from three schools in Cornwall.
RE/MAX CORNWALL REALTY INC. At this time, a man and a woman will be charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, contrary to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Further charges are pending. As a result of their actions, investigators were able to dismantle a marijuana grow operation consisting of 22 plants. At the residence, police seized equipment used for cultivation and approximately 8.3 kilo- grams of bagged marijuana ready for dis- tribution. A 2003 Silver Acura used to trans- port the drugs was also seized.

A Cornwall high-tech firm was held out as a shining example for the province’s eco- nomic recovery by Ontario Premier Kath- leenWynne last Wednesday. The newly minted Liberal premier was in Cornwall to talk to business and politi- cal leaders at SigmaPoint Technologies on Marleau Avenue, one of eight stops she has made around to province to hear concerns about the province’s economy. The success of SigmaPoint, a circuit board manufacturer that employs close to 300 people, shows that Ontario companies can compete on the world stage, Wynne said after taking a tour around the factory floor where she learned about different aspects of the company’s production. She said it is evident there are areas that Ontario companies can compete against economic powerhouses like China. “There are things that Ontario can do that other markets can’t do,” she said in response to a question from The Journal . She pointed to the burgeoning manufac-

She conceded that in the past year, there had been a “process” that “fractured the re- lationship” with teachers, referring to the controversial Bill Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is shown one step in the manufacturing of circuit boards by Cornwall high-tech firm SigmaPoint Technologies. Among the most notable, the company provides hardware for back seat displays in New York City taxis and technology for photo radar in Quebec.

Procedural wrangling leads to marathon session CORNWALL: From Page 5
The only way the budget could be changed was if amendments were tabled after the main motion to approve the bud- get was tabled, he told Kilger. After some tense debate, and with the mayor inferring that he didn’t want any- one to “sandbag” the “democratic” right of council members advocate for budget changes, Clerk Helen Finn advised that the budget could be changed via the amend- ment process. The procedural debate was just the beginning of a drawn-out process during which councillors argued for bud- get reductions, an across the board wage freeze and even dipping into the city’s budget for employee sal- aries to come up with the extra $60,000 requested by Mac- Donald. Once it was decided council would fund the extra cash for outside agencies from a $96,000 surplus from the city’s 2012 bud- get, there was even more debate, with councillors MacDonald and Bernadette Clement arguing the money should come from the tax base, a move which would have further increased this year’s tax hike. MacDonald said using the 2012 budget surplus which had been placed in the city’s working reserve fund “sets a dangerous precedent” for the future funding of outside agencies and“devalues” their programs. Her argument was backed by Clement. “Ultimately, I’d like to see it come from the tax base,” she told fellow councillors, but added she had no problem taking the money from the working reserves if that was the will of council. The surplus money is tax- payer money. That is money we collected last year that we didn’t use. It’s only logical we use that.”

Cornwall city council added $60,000 to their budget for outside agencies lastWednesday after a last-minute plea fromCouncillor Elaine MacDonald, above, on behalf of five groups and organizations. The money will come from last year’s $96,000 surplus that was initially tagged to bolster the city’s working reserve fund.
Councillor Andre Rivette, however, ar- gued it was misleading to suggest the ex- tra $60,000 from working reserves was not taxpayers’ dollars. “The surplus money is

We need to dig deeper,” he insisted. Councillor Denis Thibault noted the city is spending $3 million in direct taxpayer dol- “It alarms me that we continue to raise taxes but we don’t see any proactive stuff in staffing.” Maurice Dupelle no commensu- rate increase in services. “It alarms me
lars more than last year. “To me, that doesn’t compute.”He said if his home expenses were rising at the rate of the city’s spending, “the bank would be knocking at the door”. Councillor Gerry Samson alsomade an im- passioned plea for seniors and single-parent families who are losing their homes under the heavy burden of city taxes which are be- ing noticed around the province for being “way up there”. “We’ve got to quit hitting the taxpayer. We’re taking every penny they have out of their pockets,” he argued. But in the end, the budget – aside from the amendments withdraw $60,000 extra from reserves for outside agencies -- was passed as presented without any further reductions to the proposed 2.88 per cent tax increase.

that the city cannot continue to increase taxes without affecting the city’s most vul- nerable citizens, its poor and elderly. Councillor Maurice Dupelle, who set the

A jumbo jet miraculously glided to a safe landing by pilot Robert Pearson of North Glengarry will be auction off later this week. The Boeing 767 was landed safely on an abandoned runway after running out of fuel over Manitoba in 1983. Powerless jumbo jet miraculously landed by local pilot to be auctioned
A former Air Canada Boeing 767 whose pilot made a miraculous landing 30 years ago at a former RCAF base in Manitoba, and is now being offered for sale by Blen- heim, Ont., based auction house -- Collec- tor Car Productions. The plane was piloted by none other than North Glengarry resident Robert Pearson, who achieved legendary status when he became the first pilot to use gliding skills to bring a powerless jumbo jet to a safe landing. It is not often that aircraft and automo- biles share the same strip of concrete but on July 23, 1983, the brand new, state-of- the-art 767 passenger jet appeared out of the sky after running out of fuel at 41,000 feet over the western prairies. The powerless aircraft made a safe but bumpy landing on a local drag strip which was formerly a RCAF military base runway in Gimli, Man. Affectionately nicknamed the ‘Gimli Glider’, it made international head- lines due to the skill and bravery of Captain
Pearson and his flight crew. The story was the subject of several docu- mentaries and a feature film starring Wil- liam Devane entitlted Falling from the Sky: Flight 174. The television movie featured a Pearson in a cameo role. He is standing out- side a flight simulator when frustrated stu- dent pilots exit in frustration, after failing to successfully glide a virtual jumbo jet to a safe landing. When they claim that there is no way a jumbo jet as such could be glided to a safe landing, Pearson tells them yes it is pos- sible, and it was actually done in real life in 1983. Air Canada had initially blamed Pear- son and his crew for the near-disaster, but a subsequent investigation placed the blame on Air Canada. On the 25th anniversary of the incident in 2008, pilots Pearson and Maurice Quintal were celebrated in a parade in Gimli, and a mural was dedicated to commemorate the landing.

Road loss puts Colts on ropes against Canadians
GREG KIELEC greg.kielec@eap.on.ca
The Cornwall Colts fell behind in their CCHL semi-final series with a 6-3 road loss to the Carleton Place Canadians Saturday night. The Carleton Place win put them up three games to two in the series with a chance to close out the Colts this past Monday night at the Ed Lumley Arena. (Check The Journal at www.editionap.ca for post-game story). It is the second consecutive road game that the Colts took an early lead against the Canadians only to see their game fall apart in the final period. The Colts looked ready to replicate their 3-2 rebound victory at the Ed Lumley after an 8-3 thrashing fromCarleton Place just one night earlier. Carleton Place scored first mid- way through the first period, but the Colts quickly replied with two goals by Brandon Howes at the 11:43 mark and 15:53 mark to give the Colts the lead. ChristianWeidauer tied the game 2-2 with a power play marker just 48 seconds into the second, but the Colts regained the lead less than a minute later on a goal by Michael Pontarelli on a set up by Pietro Antonelli for a 3-2 lead. But Carleton Place scored four unanswered goals in the third from Lucas Gonu, Alex Globke, Kevin Dufour and Evan Peterson on an empty net, for a convincing 6-3 victory. It was another busy night for Colts’ goal- tender Jordan Piccolino, who was a standout in the Colts’ Thursday night win. Piccolino faced 45 shots Saturday night, compared to a paltry 17 directed at Canadians’ netminder Brendan O’Neill by the Colts. The Cornwall Colts ensured a Game 6 with “With this gift we wished to help sustain our family’s, our friends’, our co-workers’ and our community’s health and welfare for years to come.” Connie Vardy, executive Director of Corn- wall Hospital Foundation said the Bloom- field family “epitomizes the true spirit of philanthropy. It gives me great pleasure to be able to announce this gift after so many years. Mr. and Mrs. Bloomfield were defi- nitely champions of the campaign. Thank you to the Bloomfield family for their com- mitment towards the entire region.” Jeanette Despatie, CEO of Cornwall Com- munity Hospital, also expressed her grati- tude for the “generous donation. The Rose and David Bloomfield Diagnostic Centre was an important part of the Redevelop- ment Project. The diagnostic centre is now second to none. Our hospital is something to be proud of.” Rose Bloomfield said she and David “feel CCH REVEALS: From Page 2

a 3-2 win over the Carleton Place Canadians to knot up their CCHL semi-final series at two games apiece. Marly Quince opened the scoring 12:44 into the game on a set up from Pietro An- tonelli and Stephen Johnson in a period dur- ing which the Colts dominated the physical play and were winning most of the puck battles. But Kevin Dufour tied the game for the Canadians with just 36 seconds left in the first. The Colts regained their lead on a dramatic penalty shot by league scoring title winner privileged to have been able to make this gift. David and I feel that we all have to do our part to better our environment howev- er we can. We wanted our contribution to last well into our children’s future and into our grandchildren’s future.” The Our Hospital Our Future Capital Cam- paign was initiated in 2004 to raise $12.1 million from the community to fund Corn- wall Community Hospital’s redevelopment project. The campaign reached its goal in 2009 after receiving gifts from3,166 donors. With its partners, Cornwall Community Hospital’s mission is to provide, facilitate and enable high-quality health services and education to the communities it serves; in doing so, it is committed to providing ser- vices in both official languages and to the effective management and use of its re- sources. Cornwall Hospital Foundation is a registered charity whose mission is to en- able sustainable healthcare philanthropy to support the hospital in providing high- quality health services to area residents.
Michael Pontarelli 3:22 into the second and Stephen Johnson sent the crowd to its feet just two minutes later on a set up from Jake Bannister and Mitch Zion to increase the Colts’ lead to 3-1. But Carleton Place climbed to within one goal of the Colts on a point shot by Kelly Summers late in the second when a Colts defender coughed up the puck after falling at the end boards, one of a number of times throughout the game that players seemed to get caught up in ruts at the rink’s edges. The Colts managed to hold off the Cana- The rate is only good for one visit. A visitor who leaves and returns in the same day must pay for parking a second time. Upon arrival to the parking area, visitors will be required to push a button on the entry terminal that will dispense a ticket that must be brought into the hospital with them. They must be inserted in one of the pay stations inside the building to obtain a pass to exit the parking lot. The pay stations are located on the first floor of the Janet MacDonell Pavilion and in the waiting room in the emergency depart- ment. The parking passes can be redeemed at the machines with cash, credit, or debit cards.

But their comfort zone quickly dissipated after Billy Ulrick picked up a slashing minor with just 1:35 left to play, leaving the Colts down two men with the Canadians’ penalty expired and their goalie pulled.

Visitors to the hospital on consecutive days you will be charged for every 24-hour- time period. Monthly parking passes are still available for purchase at the cashier’s desk, beside patient registration. Also under the new system, if someone enters the lot and discovers it is full, their ticket will allow them to leave without pay- ing provided they leave within 10 minutes. “It is important to note that visitors should only pay for parking when they are fully prepared to leave and not when first enter- ing the building,” said MacDonald, adding “there will be a grace period of 20 minutes to allow for people to reach their vehicles and leave safely.” Each terminal is equipped with a two-way intercom station linked directly to the secu- rity office. The public may push the button when assistance is needed, and are encour- aged to ask staff and volunteers for help whenever necessary, MacDonald said.

Glengarry Pioneer Museum launching its new direction
Country concert at Playhouse The Journal jcornwall@eap.on.ca The Upper Canada Playhouse is gearing up for its popular live spring country con- cert. This season audiences will be treated to Wichita Lineman starring Playhouse fa- vourite, singer and fiddler Aaron Solomon and co-starring another popular Playhouse singing sensation, Leisa Way, both seen in the past hit concerts Country Jukebox, Pat- sy Cline and Dolly Parton. The concert highlights the music of Glen Campbell. But that’s just the beginning. Like all of its past country concerts, this show will give audiences a whole lot more, with a variety of hit songs from many of their fa- vourite country legends. “The interesting thing about both Aaron Solomon and Glen Campbell is that they both have the facility to sound just like the stars whose sings they’re singing,” said Ar- tistic Director Donnie Bowes. “And because Campbell worked with so many popular artists, audiences are going to enjoy a really great mix of music from a whole variety of singers as well.” Solomon andWay, together with the five- piece Wayward Wind Band, will light up the stage and keep folks’ feet tapping for an en- tertaining night of fabulous music. The list of great artists and their mu- sic featured in the show goes on and on, from Campbell’s hits Rhinestone Cowboy, Gentle on My Mind, By the Time I Get to Phoenix, Galveston, Southern Nights, Try a Little Kindness and It’s Only Make Believe, to a great five-song Beach Boys medley with such tunes as Surfin’ USA and Help Me Rhonda. Also there will be a Bobbie Gentry med- ley featuring such hits as All I Have to Do is Dream by the Everly Brothers, a Tanya Tucker medley featuring Bobby Darin’s ,Dream Lover, a Paul McCartney classic Mull of Kintyre and the Roger Miller comic hits Dang Me and King of The Road. “And that’s just some of the variety of hits in the first half of the show,” added Bowes. ‘The second act is loaded with tons more and will also showcase Aaron’s famous fid- dle and guitar talents that our audience has come to enjoy.’ Solomon brings to life Johnny Cash’s Fol- som Prison and will also join Way in a great Anne Murray Medley including the hits Snowbird and the Bob Dylan tune, Ain’t No Use in Wonderin’Why, Babe among others. Solomon and guitarist Kim Ratcliffe will also thrill audiences with a dueling-guitar version of The William Tell Overture. Wichita Lineman runs at Upper Canada Playhouse April 23 through May 5 with shows at 2 p.m. at 8 p.m. For tickets, call 543-3713/1-877-550-3650 or go to the Play- house website at www.uppercanadaplay- house.com.
