mendous job for our community.” In 2012, in order to improve in the areas of training and prevention, the fire chief sought the assistance of the Ontario Fire Marshal to conduct a review. This review was supported by the Firefighters Associa- tion and identified a number of shortcom- ings, and action has already been taken on a number of those items. The remaining items have been incorporated into a new fire master plan that is expected to be pre- sented to City Council in the near future. The master plan was developed with input from both management and the Firefighters Association and will provide recommendations on staffing, training, equipment and much more. This master plan will provide the City with a long-term plan to build an even more efficient and ef- fective fire service in the years to come.

According to the release, fire chief Mc- Cullough has always strived to provide an effective fire service to the community. “During my time as fire chief, I have taken steps, internally, to try and improve morale among various divisions of the fire service and enhance the lines of communication with the chief’s office,” he quoted. “The Fire- fighters Association and its leadership have been invited to participate in numerous ini- tiatives within the service. Despite the criti- cism of some of the association’s leadership, the association members who form part of our training, fire prevention, suppression and mechanical divisions have done a tre-

The City of Cornwall is going on the of- fensive. It issued a news release outlining a response regarding commentaries that have appeared in local media recently re- garding the management and operation of the Cornwall Fire Department. Based on the release, it is suggested that the local fire service is in neglect or substan- dard. According to the city, that is simply not the case. Currently, the fire department’s average response time for a call is under 4 minutes. “This is a figure I am extremely proud of,”ex- plained Fire Chief Richard McCullough. “Our focus is the safety of the community and our firefighters.” The release also recognizes fire chief Mc-

Une quinzaine de tables de jeux, un encan silencieux et un concert par le musicien local Bob Coté attendaient les convives. «On sait tous que ça prend beaucoup de fonds pour soutenir un festival comme le Lift-Off, a déclaré le conseiller Maurice Dupelle, chargé des collectes de fonds pour le festival. Mais, en organisant des collectes de fonds à l’année longue, nous sommes capable s de créer un petit coussin financier.» Bien que plusieurs résidents de Cornwall prennent part au festival chaque année, ce- lui-ci a rencontré plusieurs obstacles finan- ciers dont le plus récent, une facture venant du service de police de Cornwall.

C’est le 6 mars dernier que Denis Beaudry, directeur général de la Caisse popu- laire de Cornwall, a inauguré un nouveau programme qui profitera à la commu- nauté. La Caisse fera un don de 10$ au nom de chaque individu qui ouvrira un compte avec la coopérative. De plus, ceux-ci auront le choix d’envoyer leur don soit à l’Hospice de Cornwall, le Centre de traitement pour enfants de Cornwall, la Fondation de l’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall ou à l’OSPCA. «Nous avons donné carte blanche à nos employés pour choisir quels organismes devraient recevoir les dons, a expliqué M. Beaudry. Ceux-ci ont donc choisi des organismes très près de leur cœur.» Le directeur général espère qu’au moins 10 000 nouveaux comptes seront ouverts pour que «l’on puisse donner 100 000$ à la communau- té».

Perfect inspection for Cornwall’s drinking water
For the seventh straight year, the City of Cornwall’s drinking water system has scored a perfect inspection rating from the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Climate Change. The City’s drinking water system received a 100 per cent compli- ance rating following an inspection by Ministry staff in January of this year. The inspection focused primarily on Wa- ter Purification Plant treatment processes, drinking water treatment and distribution operator training and certification, water quality monitoring, instrumentation and device calibration and data logging and re- porting. Cornwall’s drinking water system under- goes rigorous inspections, with several hundred water samples being tested on regular scheduled intervals throughout the year. We continuously monitor our drinking water to ensure that residents and busi- nesses have access to a safe source of wa- ter,” said Owen O’Keefe, Water Purification Plant supervisor. “Residents can take pride in knowing that the quality of their drinking water is second to none.” Cornwall’s drinking water is drawn from Lake St. Lawrence above the R.H. Saun- ders Power Generating Station on Second Street West. The drinking water system consists of the Water Purification Plant on Second Street West, a reservoir on Bound- ary Road and the elevated water tower on Tollgate Road. Over 11.5 million cubic me- tres of fresh clean water is pumped annu- ally through more than 277 kilometres of watermains. Petra Decle, 19, was arrested on March 1 and charged with one count of impaired operation of motor vehicle, four counts of assault police, one count of assault, resist- ing arrest, three counts of breach of re- cognizance, one count of causing a distur- bance, one count of possession of cocaine and one count of possession of marijuana under 30 grams. It is alleged that in the early morning hours of March 1, police re- sponded to an assault call and intercepted the woman who was found to be operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol in the area of Second Street West at Brookdale Avenue. She was taken into custody during a traffic stop and during the arrest the woman resisted, kicked, attempt- ed to kick and spat on police officers. She further damaged property by kicking it all the while causing a disturbance. It was also learned that the woman had, earlier, pulled the hair of another woman and struck her in the face. She was also found to be in pos- session of a quantity of marijuana and co- caine breaching release conditions. She was charged and later held for a bail hearing. Cornwall woman collects 14 charges

Cornwall Water Purification Plant “Our water system is a critical piece of in- frastructure and we take great pride in hav- ing achieved a perfect inspection rating for seven consecutive years,” claimed Shawn O’Brien, water distribution and wastewater collection supervisor. The City is continuously investing in the drinking water system. In 2014, for ex- ample, the City invested $1.25 million on relining or replacing watermains, $100,000 to upgrade isolation valves, $125,000 in up-
grades to theWater Purification Plant’s filter system and $15,000 to rebuild a booster pump at the Boundary Road reservoir. The City recently received $2 million in funding from the Provincial Government through the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund to continue to upgrade the aging water dis- tribution system. Drinking water quality is a key part of the Cornwall Blueprint, a comprehensive urban water strategy to deal with issues such as
basement flooding mitigation, water con- servation and environmental, water and in- frastructure awareness. It serves to address two key pillars of the City’s Strategic Plan – Quality of Life and Sustainable and Efficient Services. Small fire forces CCVS evacuation Students from Cornwall Collegiate Voca- tional School (CCVS) started their week with quite a surprise, as they were evacuated on March 2, following a small fire. The inci- dent, which only resulted in minor damage, happened in a change room. “Everyone is safe and there were no injuries in the inci- dent,” said Superintendent David Coombs. Students were escorted to Central Pub- lic School following the 11:00 a.m. alarm. Classes did not resume that day, but stu- dents were bussed back to CCVS to retrieve their belongings from their lockers prior to dismissal. Fire crews from the Cornwall Fire Department were on scene conducting an investigation and ensuring the safety of the air quality. The school remained open and classes resumed the following day. A 14-year-old and a 15-year-old youths, both from Cornwall, were arrested on the same day and charged with arson and mischief. It is alleged that on March 2, the two youths were responsible for damaging windows and starting a fire at a local high school. Police were called and an investigation ensued. During their investigation the two were taken into custody, charged accord- ingly and released to appear in court next April 9. Their names were not released as per provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

“The girl who stole Cornwall’s heart” FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca
“Every one of these inmates has a story to tell,” she said when she first announced her project. “Most are sad, but some are very interesting.” Take the case of Duncan Mckimon for example; a man whose fate will forever be linked to the House of Refuge. Having been received at the establishment at the age of 65, the man had tried to escape multiple times, after which he would get caught and sent back shortly after. On one occasion, however, while on one of his many esca- pades, Mckimon was struck and killed by a train. In a last twist of faith, his body was buried on the House’s property. More information on Sara Lauzon’s prior or current projects is available on her web- site at www.saraloveshistory.com. Driving snowmobile while under the influence A local man was nabbed by police af- ter he was caught driving his snowmo- bile while under the influence of alcohol. Samuel Pelletier-Behrendt, 22, of Cornwall, was arrested on February 28 and charged with impaired operation of motor vehicle and over 80. It is alleged that, on February 28, the man was found to be operating a snowmobile in the area of Water Street and Gloucester Street while under the influence of alcohol. He was taken into custody dur- ing a traffic stop, charged accordingly and released to appear in court on March 10.
Cornwall’s Sara Lauzon is hoping to raise a monument to commemorate the House of Refuge inmates buried at the St. Lawrence Valley Union cemetery. According to the young historian, 29 bodies are interred without as much as a grave marker. “ It also seems that the said bodies would’ve been buried in pairs. “According to these entries, it says there are 18 plots,” said a confident Lauzon. “It means that they buried two bodies per plot.” “According to these entries, it says there are 18 plots,” said a confident Lauzon. “It means that they buried two bodies per plot.” So far, the local historian doesn’t know if other Cornwall cemeteries harbor other House of Refuge inmates. Although she knows that the remains of 29 individuals were uncovered in 1985, she also is aware that an unknown amount of remains were unearthed in 1997-1998. “I don’t know if there are more of them buried in that cem- etery, or in any other cemetery,” she ex- plained. Lauzon knows full well the many steps of creating a monument. The Cornwall resident has, in the past, created a picture

frame commemorating the death of Corn- wall Judge James O’Reilly, who succumbed to an asthma attack, while in his courtroom. “I know I’m going to have to do some fund- raising,” she said. “I’m thinking of doing an- other lecture. I don’t really know what I’ll be doing.” Lauzon was recently contacted by CBC radio and interviewed live on the air. “She (Wei Chen) contacted me by email to say
that she was closely following the (little) girl that stole Cornwall’s heart,” explained an obviously excited Lauzon. Calling herself Cornwall’s House of Ref- uge researcher and advocate, the Univer- sity of Ottawa graduate has extensively researched the building and is currently try- ing to research all 906 residents that, at one point in their lives, called the establishment their home.

Cornwall’s Olde Car Club coming out of hibernation
FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca
It feels like an eternity, since the last time Cornwall was snow free and for the Corn- wall Olde Car Club, the wait seems to be nearly over. The organization, which had 68 members last year, has scheduled May 13 as their official first cruise night of 2015. Established in 1961 by a small dedicated group of individuals whose love for the clas- sic, antique and special interest vehicles has permeated continuously over the last 42 years, the club’s goal consists of the ongo- ing restoration, preservation, maintenance and enjoyment of antique vehicles. “We want people that are restoring their cars to come out of their shops and garages,” said club President Barry Cox. But although the club does cater to classic cars, any owner of hot rods or “tuner” cars is also welcomed to come to cruise nights. “It doesn’t matter if you have a classic car or even a newer car,” added the president. “We invite anyone who loves cars.” But although Cox invites and even en- courages tuner owners to attend the cruise nights, he admits that there is some mis- communication between some tuner own- ers and classic car restorers. “The people that restore classic cars sometimes see tun- er owners in a different way,” explained the president. But it seems as though the Olde Car Club has looked passed the differences and is welcoming with open arms what Cox de- scribes as “the younger crowd”. “It’s impor- tant for the younger people to become in- terested in cars,” he said. “We want younger people to come and participate. It’s a way to socialize and even make friends in the process.” But what exactly is a tuner car? Car tuning is the modification of the performance or

Car tuning is, in turn, related to auto racing. “They sure are more than just giant radios,” Cox stresses while chuckling. “Several peo- ple see them as that, but these cars have small four cylinder engines that, with a little work, become more powerful than most of the engines in our older cars.” In addition to car shows and cruise nights, the club is also trying something relatively new, club cruises. “We try to go to car shows together, as a club,” mentioned the presi- dent. Every August, the club also organizes Auto Rama , a non judged car show, hosted at the Nav Center. “Last year, we had 250 cars and we handed out 50 awards,”revealed a proud Cox. “It used to be known as a judged show, but we thought we’d hand out participant prizes instead. It seems to really work. A lot of members leave with something.” Any individual interested in joining the club is welcomed to attend their general meeting, held every third Thursday of every month, at 7:30 p.m. at the Cornwall Legion.
Médaille d’argent pour les élèves de 7 e année de L’Héritage!
Ce texte est un travail collectif de la classe 7A de L’Héritage
Des élèves des 7 e et 8 e années de six écoles de la région se sont rendus à l’Académie de la Seigneurie à Casselman pour un tournoi d’improvisation organisé par le CEPEO. Neuf élèves de la 7 e année de l’École secondaire publique L’Héritage ont participé à ce tournoi. Tous les autres élèves de cette même année d’étude se sont rendus sur place pour encourager les participants et voter pour les meilleures improvisations. Chaque école a eu la chance de jouer trois joutes spectaculaires. Selon Abby Mallory, partici- pante, ce tournoi amical a été très amusant et une belle expérience. “Lors de cette acti- vité, nous avons dû travailler notre expression orale et nos habiletés théâtrales en im- provisation”, a ajouté Caleb Sergerie, élève participant. Les joueurs aimeraient remercier tout particulièrement Michel Campeau, ancien élève de L’Héritage, qui a bien accepté de donner de son temps pour entraîner l’équipe avant le match.

(FR) Woman steals from employer A woman is in hot water after she decided to bring home money from the till. Amanda Denneny, 30, of Cornwall, was arrested on February 27 and charged with five counts of theft under $5000. It is alleged that, during the month of February, while working as a ca- shier at a local business on Ninth Street, the woman took money from the cash on several occasions and police were contacted to investigate. During their investigation, the woman was taken into custody, charged accordingly and released to appear in court on April 2.
Les élèves de l’école L’Héritage sont fiers de dire qu’ils ont gagné toutes leurs joutes avant la grande finale. La dernière joute contre les élèves de 8 e année de l’école Le Som- met d’Hawkesbury a été un peu plus corsée, se terminant avec un pointage de 6 contre 4 pour Le Sommet. Les élèves de 7 e année de L’Héritage sont tout de même très fiers d’avoir participé à leur premier tournoi d’improvisation et d’avoir obtenu une très belle médaille d’argent. Cette activité enrichissante a permis à tous les participants de créer des liens avec d’autres jeunes des écoles francophones de la région. Les élèves de L’Héritage ont aussi eu la chance de perfectionner leurs habiletés théâtrales lors du tournoi d’impro CEPEO, qui a eu lieu en début mars. Les élèves de L’Héritage qui ont participé au tournoi ont remporté le titre de «meilleure chimie d’équipe » . Les participants aimeraient remercier la merveilleuse foule qui les a encouragés tout au long de la journée! Ci-dessus, au premier rang, on reconnaît Fabienne Lafrance et Caleb Sergerie.

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: AQUARIUS, PISCES AND ARIES.
WEEKLY RECIPE
Double Fudge Brownies
Week of March 8 to 14, 2015
ARIES Strong emotions are on the agenda for this week. There’s more risk of receiving criticism when you put yourself in situations where you have to make all the decisions. TAURUS You may have to use your elbows a bit to manoeuvre yourself into a good position. In addition, you’re given the opportunity to travel and discover new cultures. GEMINI You’re sure to play an important role for friends and colleagues. All these people should help you du- ring a necessary transition period. CANCER You welcome your loved ones into your home. You have lots of fun, but don’t forget that guests aren’t obligated to help you clean up. LEO There are lots of people around you who never stop commenting about what you’re doing. It’s im- portant to listen to your inner voice, which will guide you in the right direction. VIRGO Even if you like the stability and fi- nancial independence that your job gives you, you may consider drop- ping everything for a life filled with adventure and creativity. LIBRA You’re overflowing with ideas and initiatives. In fact, you’re constantly changing your plans according to your mood. This is an irritation to some of your loved ones. SCORPIO A little confusion is possible early in the week, but all you need is a second cup of coffee to regain your drive. You can accomplish several small miracles. SAGITTARIUS After a very stressful time, it’s im- portant to take a step back and rest properly. You need to relax and re- charge your batteries. CAPRICORN You do a lot of overtime at work. Fortunately, you get some interes- ting invitations from your friends who want to help you unwind. AQUARIUS Whether it’s a trip or just a roman- tic getaway, you enjoy having your head in the clouds for a while. You even think about living abroad or experiencing some sort of journey. PISCES You feel the need to shake things up a bit. A few changes within your circle of friends helps you relieve some stress and experience new goals that are more in line with your needs.
Taste these brownies and you’ll see that to try them is to adopt them!
