La Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) a eu le plaisir de recruter 16 étudiants pour son programme d’été. « Nous sommes fiers de pouvoir offrir un emploi à de talentueux étudiants », a déclaré Dennis O’Grady, directeur général de la CNS, notant que « le programme d’été est un excellent moyen d’évaluer les futurs employés à temps plein ». Les étudiants ont la possibilité d’acquérir de l’expérience dans plus d’une discipline au cours de l’été, que ce soit en travaillant avec le personnel de la foresterie et de la pêche, à faire de la recherche, ou à la prestation de programmes d’éducation. Avec le soutien de fonds fédéraux et provinciaux, la CNS est le plus grand employeur d’étudiants de la région. Les élèves acquièrent de l’expérience dans leurs domaines d’études et profitent de nombreuses occasions de réseautage.En photo on reconnaît, à l’avant, Chantal Quesnel, Peter Martel, Mesha Sagram, Simone Larin, Holly Nyenkamp, Kelsey Smith et Sarah McGrath. En arrière-plan se trouvent Stephen Moore, Dominic Drapeau, Carly Hutchinson, Mathieu Meincke, Kiersti McMillan, Sebastian Hebert, Adam Poapst et Micaela Hadley. La CNS a reçu du financement de Service Canada ce qui a permis de créer ces sept postes d’été supplémentaires. — photo fournie Emplois d’été éducatifs Aucune Parade des Nations cette année Pour la première fois en sept ans, il n’y aura pas d’activités à thème culturel au Centre civique lors du mois de septembre. En effet, Marie Morrell, fondatrice de la Parade des Nations, pour les gens affligés de déficiences intellectuelles, a récemment fait savoir au Journal de Cornwall que l’événement n’aura pas lieu cette année. « Plusieurs facteurs ont fait en sorte que l’on ne puisse pas avoir de parade cette année, a-t-elle déclaré. Selon Mme Morrell, des changements au niveau des lois municipales de Cornwall forceraient les vendeurs à se procurer des permis qui se chiffreraient aux alentours de 110 $. « Plusieurs de nos vendeurs sont vraiment de petites entreprises, a affirmé la dame. Ils ne font pas beaucoup de profits et pour eux, ça ne vaut pas la peine de se procurer un permis. » De plus, la personne en charge de la gérance des kiosques ne pouvaient pas participer à l’événement cette année. Mais Mme Morrell compte bien organiser son événement l’an prochain. « Nous pensons peut-être nous diriger vers Long Sault puisque les lois municipales là-bas ne forceraient pas nos vendeurs à s’approprier un permis. » – Francis Racine

All over the world, some libraries are shutting their doors due to lowered traffic within their aisles. Books, which were at one point the lone source of knowledge, now have several different electronic rivals, the biggest being the World Wide Web. With the many advances in technology, libraries throughout the country have had to adapt their strategies. Closer to home, the Cornwall Public Library’s Strategic Plan for 2013 to 2016 highlights the need for the institution to extend library use by raising awareness of the services it offers.This calls for the development of a communication strategy which promotes the library’s significant role in the community. “Inmy experience, the biggest challenge facing public libraries in Ontario is the rapid pace of technological change resulting in ever-increasing formats in demand by library users,” explained Dawn Kiddell, CEO and chief librarian of the Cornwall Library. “The challenge is keeping pace with rapid change on a fixed budget.” It’s no wonder the Cornwall Library has enacted its Strategic Plan. According to a self-reported data sheet on Ontario Public Library Statistics made available by the provincial government, Cornwall’s library
falls under average in the number of in- person visits. Different cities with similar population numbers as Cornwall, such as
Belleville, Brant, Haldimand County, North Bay and Timmins all recorded a high number of visitors in their libraries. The Cornwall library recorded 2,246 visits, whereas its Belleville rival welcomed 4,198 visits. Brant recorded 2,362 visits, Haldimand; 2,888, North Bay; 3,326 and Timmins; 2,568. “While library use overall has not diminished, the way libraries are used has changed,” said Kiddell. “People use the library more as a community public space for programs and events. We are no longer a quiet place where people are shushed for talking. We do a lot more cultural programming and community programs.” In urban settings, libraries seem to fare quite better than their remote counterparts. A paper titled An analysis of Public Library Trends claims that “the per capita number of library usage transactions was up sharply in the past decade, rising 45 per cent, from16.6 to24.1 transactions onaverage.”The research, produced by the Lumos Research inc. for the Canadian Urban Libraries Council, also stresses that libraries have adapted to the changing market, spending more of their budgets on electronic and digital material. “Much of the increase in transactions was

driven by digital information,” states the analysis. “For example, use of electronic database more than doubled and Internet visits to library websites and catalogues grew five-fold in the period.” As if to drive the wedge even deeper between physical and digital resources, the study reports that “a smaller percentage (of expenses) is being spent on books and periodicals, while strong increases have been seen over the past decade in spending on electronic and audiovisual material.” Three libraries in SD&G set to close The Library Board of SD&G recently passed amotion that would effectively close three of their branches, Dalkeith, St. Andrews West, and Morewood, by September 3, a move that has sent shock waves through the community. Asbothsides erect their barricades,willing to defend their cause using everything at their disposal, there seems to be no definitive answer as to who is right and who is wrong. Bill McGimpsey, deputy mayor of North Stormont and chair of the Library Board of SD&G, reasoned the closing of the three branches by explaining that it would bolster the traffic of neighbouring libraries. “Some of them are eight minutes apart,” he said during a phone interview. “At the end of the day, it’s not just about profitability. It’s also about providing a service.” In the other corner of the abstract boxing ring is Cal Martin, founder of the Save Our SDG Library Branches Facebook page, as well as other patrons of the affected libraries. “Through this whole process, our communities feel betrayed,” he said. “People are fed up and they are making their voices known.” The Library Board of SD&G supervises a total of 18 branches throughout the region. The three libraries that are stated to be shut down all possess the lowest traffic amongst their counterparts. According toMcGimpsey, Dalkeith’s library sees an average of 45 to 60 patrons a month, similar numbers to St. Andrews West’s location. In contrast, Alexandria’s branch welcomes an average 200 to 300 visitors on a monthly basis. The three libraries slated to close in upcoming days offer the same digital material as their bigger urban neighbours. Three library branches with low numbers Statistics contained in the SD&G County Library Facility Model Report paint an upsetting picture of the Dalkeith, Morewood and St. Andrews West libraries. Classified as neighbourhood branches by the report, they offer smaller, popular or locally-relevant collections, and fewer public computing stations. In addition, their weekly hours of operation range from 8 to 30. All of the Counties’ libraries follow the Guidelines for Rural/Urban Public Library Systems (ARUPLO guidelines); the latter

la musique et la sculpture. Ces dernières sont souvent en pierre de savon, matériel qu’il a apporté directement de Timmins. « Avant mon départ pour Cornwall, mon beau-fils a découvert un tas de pierres de savon, a-t-il déclaré. Timmins est une ville de mines. Les pierres se trouvaient à côté d’une ancienne mine d’or. » L’artiste a donc entrepris un long voyage, directement de Timmins à Cornwall, avec plusieurs centaines de pierres de savon dans sa voiture. « J’aurais pu en amener plus, mais je crois que ça aurait été trop lourd pour ma voiture », a-t-il dit en riant. C’est derrière une petite vitre que se cachent quelques-unes des sculptures de
M. Lasate. Sous ses lames et ses ciseaux, ces pierres se transforment en créations magnifiques. « Je n’utilise aucun outil électrique, a ajouté l’artiste. Donc ils peuvent me prendre plusieurs heures à terminer. » De plus, la pierre de savon est très fragile. « Lorsque j’ai commencé à travailler avec la pierre de savon, j’ai découvert que la moindre erreur peut faire en sorte que l’œuvre devienne toute grafignée. » M. Lasata semble aussi être captivé par le monde des animaux. En effet, la plupart de ses œuvres, soit peintes ou sculptées, ont comme sujet un animal. En entrant au Corrid’Art, l’on remarque que plusieurs des peintures deM. Lasata, qui
parsèment les murs de la galerie, ont comme thème les animaux en voie de disparition. « J’aime bien peinturer les animaux qui sont, soit en voie de disparition ou disparus, a-t-il indiqué. Je trouve ça épouvantable que l’on fasse disparaître ces créatures. » L’une de ses œuvres n’est en fait pas une peinture, mais un collage de plusieurs animaux différents qui sont tous menacés par l’homme. L’artiste a utilisé les photos de plusieurs animaux, découpés dans des magazines et des livres, afin de recréer la silhouette d’un chasseur. Pour sa part, M. Lasata se dit artiste pur et simple, et comme il le dit si bien : « Si c’est de l’art, j’embarque. »
« Lorsque je commence une sculpture, je n’ai rien en tête, a expliqué Moïse Lasata, artiste originaire de Timmins. Je laisse la pierre me dire ce qu’elle veut devenir. » L’homme, qui se dit lui-même timide, exposera bientôt ses œuvres d’art au Corrid’Art, situé dans le Centre culturel, le 8 septembre prochain dès 17 h. C’est une première pour l’artiste de 62 ans. « Je n’ai jamais fait de vernissage solo, a-t-il dit, un sourire aux lèvres. C’est très excitant! » En tant qu’artiste, M. Lasata possède plusieurs talents inouïs, dont la peinture,

sects in museums was poorly designed and made the topic boring, but that these misunderstood beings could teach people a lot about the environment and biodiversity. Once he had built a satisfactory collection, he began showing his insects all over Quebec. Each time, more and more people flocked to see his curious creatures, and crowds were inspired by Brossard’s unrelenting enthusiasm. The success of his travelling exhibits convinced Brossard that he could change the public’s perspective toward “bugs”. To do so, he donated his entire collection to the City of Montreal and received the green light from then-mayor Jean Doré to start funding a museum. Public support poured in, allowing Georges Brossard to open the world’s first insectarium in 1989. The Insectarium de Montréal currently welcomes over 400,000 visitors a year. In addition to his museum work, Brossard engages in philan- thropy and has an activemedia career. The 2004 filmLe Papil- lon Bleu is based on a trip he took with a terminally ill child to capture a rare butterfly. He’s also hosted and directed tele- vision programs, namely Mémoires d’insectes and Insectia. Today, Georges Brossard still strives to help our environment by teaching people about the fascinating world of insects. And his mission is succeeding: there are now over 25 insecta- riums worldwide, including five founded by Brossard himself.
Georges Brossard’s life-long passion for insects would even- tually lead to a whole new kind of educational institution. Born in 1940, Brossard attended a rural elementary school where he was encouraged to take up insect collecting as a hobby. Fascinated by the complexity of these tiny creatures, Brossard was devastated when he returned from vacation one summer to find his collection destroyed. At that moment, he decided that he would start over, this time with an ambi- tious goal: to collect every kind of insect on earth. Even as a law student at the University of Ottawa, Brossard had bugs on hismind—to the point where he planned onwrit- ing his PhD on bees, an idea that he ultimately abandoned to become a notary. At age 25, he opened his own practice and worked day and night, six days a week, for the next thirteen years, quietly amassing the funds that would allow him to someday pursue his childhood dream. On New Year’s Day 1978, Georges Brossard retired from his lucrative career as a notary. His wife Suzanne also left her job, and the very next day the couple was on a plane toward the first leg of an eight-month journey around the world. Their mission: to collect, catalogue and study the Earth’s insect life. This trip would be the first of many, and more than a decade of globetrotting later, Brossard had amassed an impressive 250,000 insect specimens from over 100 countries.

Canada’s Icelandic community Canada is home to the largest community of Icelandic descent outside of Iceland itself, which should come as no surprise given the similarities be- tween the two countries—especially when it comes to our cool climate! In fact, early migrants from Iceland to North America stood out from other European populations by choosing Canada over the more popular United States. Many Icelandic Canadians are descendants of people who fled the violent eruption of volcano Askja, in 1875. These families mostly settled in Mani- toba, going against the majority of early immigrants who chose Quebec

In 1992 the Atlantic Puffin was named Newfound- land’s provincial bird. These bright-billed seabirds are superb underwater swimmers but clumsy fli- ers. Their diet consists almost entirely of small fish. They live in large colonies and spend most of the year at sea, landing solely for breeding season.
and Ontario to call home. Today, Manitoba is still home to the highest concentration of Canadians of Icelandic heri- tage, a demographic trend that’s reflected in some of the province’s town names—Erickson, Gimli and Reykjavik, to name a few. You’ve probably heard of a fair number of notable Canadians of Icelandic descent. Hockey players Robert Benson and Frank Frederickson, signers Tom Cochrane and k.d. Lang and legendary secret agent Stephan G. Stephansson—one of the inspirations for the character James Bond—all share Nordic heritage and Canadian identity.

telles que des spécialités allemandes, tchèques ou encore autrichiennes. Il n’est plus nécessaire de faire des heures en avion pour découvrir toutes sortes de cuisines étrangères. Il existe dans la région des restaurants ou des traiteurs spécialisés dont vous ne soupçonnez peut-être pas la qualité des mets proposés. Si la cuisine étrangère est une grande passion, nul besoin de voyager bien loin. Bien que la cuisine ne cesse de se réinventer, il reste encore des adresses où il est possible de déguster des plats typiques. Par exemple, le traiteur et restaurant Schnitzels, situé à Cornwall, propose des ingrédients saisonniers et locaux avec une influence très européenne. Cuisine allemande ou tchèque, à chacun ses goûts et ses découvertes. « Le Schnitzler tchèque est l’une de nos plus anciennes spécialités », a spécifié Lauren Heuvel, gérante du restaurant Schnitzels « C’est une escalope panée et la viande est achetée dans les fermes locales de la région » a rajouté Lauren. « Nos produits, comme les plateaux de charcuteries à la façon autrichienne, viennent des fermes locales de la région et les fromages que nous proposons, nous les achetons également à la ferme de Vankleek Hill » a poursuivi Lauren Heuvel. Partir à la découverte de la cuisine étrangèrepeutdevenirunevéritableoccasion pour privilégier les produits locaux, savourer les aliments saisonniers et ainsi appuyer les agriculteurs et fermiers de la région. D’ailleurs, les clients apprécient l’initiative. « Mon mari et moi revenons d’Europe où nous avons passé deux semaines en Italie, a expliquéMarjorie Langelier. « Nous voulions manger une seconde fois de la bruschetta et de la burrata avec de l’huile d’olive et nous en avons dégusté au restaurant italien de L’Orignal. C’est comme si nous étions de retour à Rome. En plus, de savoir que c’est préparé avec des produits de chez nous, cela rend le plat meilleur », a conclu Mme Langelier.
Ils sont nés dans un autre coin de la planète. Ici, maintenant au Canada, ils cuisinent leurs saveurs d’enfance avec des produits locaux. Nous avons rencontré des agriculteurs ou restaurateurs qui cuisinent des plats du monde mijoté avec des produits locaux de la région. Mozzarella, raviolis frais, pizzas italiennes fraîches, pains italiens, panna cotta, bruschettas, voilà quelques produits originaux proposés au Prima Cossa Bistro situé à l’Orignal. Tous les jours, Carmen Alicia Ramos et Carlos Vartolomeo, d’origine italienne, font découvrir aux clients des produits innovants et de démontrent qu’il est possible de cuisiner beaucoup de choses avec les produits du terroir de l’est de l’Ontario. « Nous cuisinons des plats italiens avec des produits de la région, a expliqué Carmen Alicia Ramos, gérante du restaurant Prima Cossa Bistro. L’idée est non seulement de faire découvrir, mais aussi de leur donner des idées, des orientations, et tout cela dans le cadre de l’écoulement de la production locale », a expliqué Mme Ramos. Originaire de Sicile en Italie, Carlos Vartolomeo propose aux clients du restaurant des plats typiquement italiens. On retrouve sur sa carte des raviolis de bœuf fait maison, avec de la viande achetée au marché de Vankleek Hill, ou encore des bruschettas concoctées à base de légumes bio de producteurs locaux. « J’ai appris toutes les recettes italiennes de ma mère qui était sicilienne », a expliqué M. Vartolomeo. « Je suis fier de faire découvrir les plats italiens aux Canadiens, à L’Orignal. En plus, cela fait fonctionner l’économie agricole de la région car tous nos plats sont faits de nos mains. C’est du fait maison à 100 %. » En plus de l’Italie, dans la région, on retrouve plusieurs spécialités culinaires étrangères faites à base de produits locaux

A festival dedicated to garlic
No vampires dared enter Lamoureux Park on August 28. The annual Eastern Ontario Garlic Festival took place amidst hundreds of visitors. The festival is a celebration of all things local in the heart of Cornwall. Local vendors from the Cornwall and surrounding areas all offered their goods to visitors. From baked sweets to fresh produce, knitted creations and of course garlic, several different things were available. This event is not only a fun, educational, and, of course, delicious event, but it also goes a long way to helping the community. A portion of funds from the event goes towards assisting the GreenThumbs Project, an initiative that creates agricultural opportunities to groups and individuals to be engaged and earning an income to empower the community.Chantal Gilmour and her daughter, Katheryne, were selling knitted creations. — photo Francis Racine

YOUR HOROSCOPE for the week of Aug. 28 to Sept. 3, 2016
THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: LIBRA, SCORPIO AND SAGITTARIUS.
ARIES Some of your family might invite you to sign up for a very special, ongoing activ- ity in order to keep fit over the winter. It won’t hurt to go along with them. TAURUS It’s hard to get you out of the house. You organize your love nest exactly the way you want it by putting all the necessary resources into it. This is your path to happiness. GEMINI You have to travel more than before. You spend a lot of time on the phone or on social networks. You are very curious and have a lot to say for yourself. CANCER You end up with a mountain of files to process at work. This puts you under some stress, but, fortunately, you will receive some additional income from it. LEO You’re pretty dynamic and there’s a good chance that you’ll find ways to spoil yourself. Your friends invite you to take part in some great activities. VIRGO Stress could really get to you. Take a step back once in a while in order to relax and see the situation from a better angle. Your thinking will benefit from it, too. LIBRA Your friends may invite you for a relaxing weekend or your life partner suggests a romantic getaway. In reality, any sort of break is going to be beneficial. SCORPIO You have to shoulder some important responsibilities, but they greatly improve your prospects at work. You’ll have to do some overtime in order to complete all your projects. SAGITTARIUS Your boss might suggest some type of training course, which opens the door to a more promising future. A really great trip is also in the works. CAPRICORN September is a time of renewal. As you return to school or get back to the routine of work, take the opportunity to seriously reconsider your lifestyle. AQUARIUS You don’t always feel comfortable in crowds. However, the responsibility of bringing people together to participate in a major event falls squarely on you
