Second: des conseillers veulent le retour des deux voies
Selon lui, la Ville n’aurait pas dû rétrécir de deux voies la rue Second l’été dernier. Rap- pelons que le tout a eu lieu à la suite d’une décision prise par l’ancien conseil municipal qui aurait approuvé l’idée d’installer deux voies pour cyclistes sur la rue, ce qui a coûté 29 000 $ aux contribuables de la ville.«Ça n’a causé que des problèmes, a expliqué M. MacDonald. La sécurité routière, la conges- tion et le temps que les gens passent dans leur véhicule sont tous des facteurs qui n’ont pas été considérés. » Mais, bien queM. MacDonald semble vou- loir le retour des quatre voies, il a indiqué qu’il ne prendrait aucune décision avant
de connaître le coût de ces changements pour les contribuables. « Ça ne fait pas de sens d’avoir emménagé des pistes cyclables

sur la rue Second, a souligné le conseil- ler. Elles auraient pu être placées sur un autre chemin. » Caryline Hébert était la seule conseil- lère qui ne semblait pas d’accord avec M. MacDonald. « Nous devrions en discuter à la fin de l’été prochain, a-t- elle souligné. Chan- ger (la rue Second) nous coûtera très cher. Nous n’avons plus d’argent. »
Il se pourrait bien que la rue Second rede- vienne une rue à quatre voies, puisque le conseiller Mark MacDonald, lors de la dernière réunion municipale du 9 février, a présenté une id ée à ses collègues de travail. « Nous devrions remettre les choses à l’ordre » , s’est exprim é celui-ci. M. MacDonald a donc demand é au conseil de la ville de rédiger un rapport concernant cette possibilité.
suggéré. Je crois bien que quelques changements pour- raient prendre place, puisque cer- taines intersections semblent être un peu probléma- tiques. » Lorsque la Ville a annoncé pour la première fois que la rue Second aurait une piste cyclable, une journée d’infor- mation avait eu lieu.

En effet, un rapport préparé par la Ville le 11 février dernier souligne que les chan- gements demandé par M. McDonald coû- teraient au moins 35 500 $. Selon Enrique Figueredo Kamm, ingénieur des transports pour la Ville de Cornwall, enlever la piste coûterait plus cher que de l’installer. « Ça coûte plus cher, puisque les lignes solides sont plus coûteuses à éliminer qu’à appli- quer », a déclaré celui-ci. Le conseiller Brock Frost croit lui aussi que l’idée était une erreur. « Bien que je crois qu’une piste cyclable soit une très bonne idée, de l’avoir installée sur la rue Second était une erreur, a soutenu le conseiller. Il y a de bien meilleures rues qui auraient pu accueillir celle-ci, dont les rues Fourth et Fifth. » Il semble que de plus en plus de résidents de Cornwall semblent apprécier le trans- port en commun. Cornwall Transit a connu une hausse de 5% d’achalandage à bord de ses autobus réguliers et de transport adapté en 2014. Selon un communiqué émis par Cornwall Transit, 833 832 passag- ers auraient utilisés ce service, compara- tivement à 794 259 passagers en 2013. De cette augmentation, environ 10 000 trajets sont attribuables aux résidents de Kashechewan, qui ont été évacués de leur communauté et relogés à Cornwall du- rant quelques jours en juin 2014 en raison d’inondations. Sans compter ces passagers, l’achalandage affiche une hausse de 3,7%. L’achalandage de Cornwall Transit connait une hausse constante depuis 2006, année où le nombre total de trajets s’élevait à 494 933. «Nous sommes extrêmement satisfaits de voir grimper le nombre d’usagers, af- firme Len Tapp, chef de division de Cornwall
Selon un communiqué émis à l’époque, la séance d’information permettait au public de prendre connaissance des différents pro- jets prévus et d’émettre des commentaires. Or, il n’y aurait eu presqu’aucune plainte contre le projet de pistes cyclables. « Lors de la journée d’information, le 13 août dernier, nous avions reçu très peu de plaintes, a expliqué M. Kamm. Un résident du secteur est de la ville nous avait demandé si le tout était vraiment nécessaire. Nous lui avons expliqué que les pistes faciliteraient le transport des élèves des écoles avoisi- nantes, dont Holy Trinity, Marie-Tanguay, Rose des Vents et La Citadelle. Auparavant, les étudiants citaient le manque de sécurité comme étant le seul facteur les empêchant de se rendre à bicyclette à l’école. » Transit. Nos chauffeurs d’autobus ainsi que nos employés sont très fiers d’offrir un ser- vice pratique et abordable à nos résidents; les chiffres d’achalandage parlent d’eux- mêmes.» Chaque année, Cornwall Transit propose diverses promotions spéciales afin de sen- sibiliser les gens au service de transport et d’encourager de nouveaux usagers à mont- er à bord. Ces promotions comprennent, notam- ment, le transport gratuit durant toute une journée en juin, dans le cadre de la Journée de l’air pur, et des rabais spéciaux pour les étudiants en octobre et en novembre. Parmi les autres initiatives prises en 2014, notons la création d’un nouveau laissez-passer d’autobus semestriel pour les étudiants du collège St. Lawrence. Ces laissez-passer sont offerts au coût de 125$ par semestre et permettent aux étudiants d’utiliser de façon illimitée tous les services d’autobus réguliers de Cornwall Transit.

One person can really make a difference FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca
in-crowd as I stood for what I thought was the right way to go and did not bow to the lobbying from the mayor or the in-group of councillors. I did not care about that. I can sleep at night knowing that I was true to me and the people.” Hug settled in Cornwall after working in Toron-
tion Research organization in Toronto. By her own account, she worked with some very interesting individuals. “When I was working in a female reformatory, I was told that I had to take a quick self defense course,” she explains. ”One of the security guards gave me that quick course, and I was then forever on my guard. It was scary for me back then.” When asked what the most memorable event she ever experienced while working for the Ministry, Hug responds that “(some of the people) were scary because they were so wasted on LSD and other things,” she explains. “This was back in the 60’s and the Toronto scene was not good. I even had a politician in the addiction hospital where I worked as one of my patients. I was in con- trol of the psychological tests that the pa- tients got and had to write up the results. There is a paper out there somewhere in a Psyche Journal with my name on it.” Hug is also quite the theater and literature lover. “I did murder mystery fundraising and private parties for over 14 years,”she admits. “I wrote the plays and acted inmost of them
as well as produced them here in Cornwall and the surrounding area. I am a writer. I still have ideas for at least two more murder mystery plays in my head and want to write a novel.” The dedicated Cornwallian would love to see Cornwall for an art center to be built in the city. “An Arts Center will grow Cornwall,” says Hug, who is also a member of the Heri- tage committee and Vice President of the Historical Society and the Museum Board. “If you build it, they will come. We have va- cant buildings now, the old Star Tek build- ing, the oldWalmart store for example. They are big. They have lots of parking. We need to get our arts groups together and see what everyone needs and get a showcase for them. I would love to do a play in an arts center for Cornwall. Arts enrich everyone’s lives, any age group.” When asked what truly she’s really pas- sionate about, Hug quickly replies history. Asked why, she simply answers, “I love his- tory because it teaches you where you’ve been and helps you understand where you are going.”
“ One person can really make a difference ” is a saying Mary Ann Hug keeps close to her heart and that she truly believes in. While attending the University of Wisconsin, the now Cornwall resident admits to having undertaken some un- daunted things. “In University, I lobbied until I finally was ac- cepted in a law class that was supposedly reserved only for fu- ture ‘male’ lawyers,” she explains. “I became the first female in that class, much to the professor’s dislike. That’s probably where I found out that a
to for several years. “After getting laid off several times, I decided to go in another route, so I went back to school here at St. Lawrence College and became a Per-

sonal Support Worker,” she says. “I was the oldest one in my class in 2004.” Ever since then, Hug has been helping her fellow hu- man being. The Cornwall citizen has quite an array of experience, having previously worked with the Ministry of Corrections and the Addic-
is happy with the experience. “My time on council was very good,” says Hug, who ran in the last municipal elections but was un- successful in being elected. “I had a lot of support, as a new member coming in mid- term, from Mark MacDonald. He was very helpful. I was not liked too much by the
TAG wants more transparency
The board of directors of The Art Gallery (TAG) in Cornwall has decided to change its meeting format in order to allow members to participate and voice their concerns. In making the announcement on February 5, board Chair Roland Besner said he hoped it would provide more accountability and transparency to TAG operations and encourage Cornwall and area artists who are members to participate in decision-making. “We feel there are a lot of issues and concerns out there that have to be addressed by the board but we have to learn what those issues are before we can do something about them,”he said. TAG will be one of the first organizations to provide members the opportunity to ask questions and get information through a portion of the meeting set aside for that purpose. That part of the meeting will always be at the start of the convocation.

2014, one of the busiest years for construction FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca
128 were for new family units – 29 single family homes, 32 semis and 67 multiple unit dwellings (such as apartments or condos). Some of the more notable residential de- velopments include the completion of the King’s Landing residential development on Montreal Road, and the ongoing develop- ment of the Knox City Centre and Cotton Mill Loft projects. Activity was strong in the commercial, industrial and institutional sectors as well, with 81 building permits being issued in 2014 for new developments or repairs. Commercial development highlights in- clude the SmartCentres development at Ninth and Cumberland streets, new offices for Bourgon Construction, the new Future Shop at Brookdale and Tollgate, new restau- rants including Boston Pizza and Menchie’s and the $55-million expansion of the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Federal proj- ects such as the new low-level bridge and the Canada Customs port of entry were also completed. However, they are not reflected in the building permit statistics.
Construction is booming in the friendly seaway city, as it was announced on Feb- ruary 2 that 715 building permits were is- sued by Cornwall in 2014, making it one of the busiest years for construction activity over the past half century. It marks the sixth highest building permit count in 56 years. The highest annual count came in 1967 when 1,069 building permits were issued. The average annual building permit count over that 56-year span is 598. The value covered by those 715 building permits added up to over $55 million in new construction. “The strong numbers for 2014 was the re- sult of a combination of new construction as well as repairs and additions to existing structures,” said Chris Rogers, Chief Building Official for the city. Of the building permits issued in 2014,

City report recommends not creating art coordinator position According to a report prepared by Christine Lefebvre, division manager of Parks and Recreation Services for the city of Cornwall, council shouldn’t create an arts and culture coordinator position. Presented to councillors on February 9, the report states that “Council not proceed at this time with the establishment of an Arts and Culture Coordinator position and continue to support the completion of a feasibility study to determine the need for an Arts Centre.” Salaries for similar positions, in neighboring communities, ranged from $43,643 to $53,380 plus benefits, added Lefebvre. The posi- tion would have to be located at the Benson Centre and an office created within existing space. The Benson Centre is the only municipal location that currently has room to cre- ate a small office. An operating budget for computer, phone, office furniture, public rela- tion, supplies, would also be required. The motion for creating an arts coordinator was brought forward by councillors Carilyne Hebert and Brock Frost, on January 12, 2014.

Local athletes represent Cornwall at competition
FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca
Last month, athletes from Cornwall’s Air Gliders Trampoline Club attended the second Ontario Cup in Ottawa. Cornwall was represented by Audrey Millette, Cait- lin McInnis, Arianne Pilon, Laura Lebel, Kasper Furo and Schuyler Schellenberg. I am very proud of the progress our athletes are showing,” said Jean Juneau. Schellenberg, the most advanced tram- polinist in the club, had a great perfor- mance, receiving the second highest score of his level and earning the silver medal. Millette also had a very good performance, being her only second experience at tram- poline competition. She earned herself a fourth place ribbon. A minimum score with attendance at two out of three competi- tions is required to attend Provincial Cham- pionships. Schuyler, Audrey, and Laura have achieved their official qualifications to at- tend the Provincial Championships in April. Kasper, Arianne and Caitlin will focus on the upcoming 3 rd Cup in March to attain their qualifications for Provincials.

The number of competitors in Ontario has seen a significant increase again this year, having over 400 competitors trying their best in various levels of the program. Corn- wall’s own Air Gliders Trampoline Club trains twice a week at École secondaire L’Héritage. Young jumpers from Cornwall, Alexandria, Moose Creek and as far as Mountain have made the choice to engage themselves in training to display their ability at various provincial level competitions.

Stuffed breakfast potatoes Here is a simple and easy recipe that makes a nice change from the traditional eggs and bacon breakfast. Simply adjust the ingredients according to the number of guests and depending on the size of the potatoes. Hint: it’s best to cook the potatoes the day before. INGREDIENTS: • 6 potatoes (thick-skinned and long and flattish — Russets are best) • 12 slices of cheese, about 30 g each (choose a flavourful cheese that melts well, such as cheddar or aged Gouda) • 6 small slices of ham • 12 slices bacon • 6 medium eggs (choose large eggs or extra-large if your potatoes are very big) • 3 green onions, finely chopped • Salt and pepper

ARIES Family responsibilities preoccupy you this week. You have very little time for yourself. You also plan a large gathering. TAURUS At work, you’re so successful that your bosses can’t help but give you a raise. They want to secure your loyalty for the long term. GEMINI You are facing some existential ques- tions. You seek to undertake some major changes that will allow you to see life from a better perspective. CANCER After some sort of conflict, you’re able to reach an understanding and restore harmony among the people around you. You show great wis- dom in this situation. LEO Your work week promises to be very stimulating. Be careful not to create unrealistic expectations for yourself. The success you achieve will be equal to the effort you make. VIRGO You find yourself at the centre of attention. You can even expect to be applauded. This situation greatly enhances your self-esteem. LIBRA You spend a day at home going round in circles, waiting for a deli- very or something similar. You also seriously consider redecorating cer- tain rooms. SCORPIO If you must drive, make sure you have good directions so you don’t waste a lot of time looking for your destination. A map or GPS is a very valuable tool to bring along. SAGITTARIUS You may need to tighten your wal- let a bit this week. But this situa- tion motivates you to take all the necessary steps to correct the situation. CAPRICORN There is a fair amount of action going on around you. You feel over- whelmed by all sorts of responsi- bilities that seem to take up a lot of your time. Fortunately, you are a well-organized person. AQUARIUS If you catch a bad cold this week, it’s a signal from your body telling you it’s time to rest. You may tend to worry for a lot of different reasons. PISCES At work or elsewhere, you have to take responsibility for some peo- ple. You’ll be expected to take the initiative, which means you have to do a lot of managing.

DIRECTIONS: 1. The day before, wash potatoes and bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 75 minutes or until tender. Be careful not to pierce skins when checking if they’re cooked. Baking an extra potato just in case is a good idea. Leave to cool. 2.In the morning, carefully cut top off each potato and remove as much flesh as possible with a spoon. Again, it is important not to tear or puncture skin. The goal is to retain the boat shape of the potatoes in order to stuff them. 3.Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). 4.Place a slice of ham and cheese in each of the hollowed potatoes. 5.Distribute half of the green onions to the potatoes and gently break an egg into each one. Salt and pepper to taste. Cover egg with another slice of cheese and two slices of bacon, placed lengthwise. 6.Place in oven. Cook about 20 minutes for a well-cooked egg yolk. This is also the time it will take for the bacon to crisp. For a soft yolk, cook about 12 minutes, but the bacon will have to be cooked in a pan for a few minutes first. 7.Top with remaining green onions and serve.
