La station de radio francophone CHOD, établie en 1994, voit non seulement plus haut mais plus loin. En effet, lors de l’assemblée générale annuelle du 21 avril dernier, le directeur général de la station, Marc Charbonneau, a annoncé que l’installation d’une antenne sur une plus grande tour serait complétée d’ici la fin septembre. « Nous sommes en ce moment de 50 à 54 mètres au-dessus de la mer, a précisé M. Charbonneau. Mais la nouvelle tour est à 105mètres au-dessus de lamer. On pourra donc atteindre les comtés de Prescott-Russell. » Selon lui, une chaîne de petites mon- tagnes sépare Stormont, Dundas et Glen- garry (SDG) de Prescott-Russell, ce qui af- fecte le signal de CHOD. C’est sans compter que les ondes de la station sont souvent per- dues aux États-Unis. Mais pourquoi dif-

Bien qu’on ait perdu 0,2 points cette année, je crois que c’est nor- mal, puisqu’on est en train d’intégrer des nouvelles pratiques. On a vraiment innové cette année. » Au moment d’aller sous presse, nous n’avions pas réussi à obtenir de commen- taires de l’écolée La Citadelle ou du Conseil scolaire de district catholique de L’Est ontarien. L’Héritage occupe donc la 152 e place au rendement de toutes les écoles, soit 749. La Citadelle occupe la 392 e place.
Pour une deuxième année consécutive, l’École secondaire publique L’Héritage a obtenu un plus haut pointage global que son homologue catholique, La Citadelle. Selon le rapport Fraser publié le 19 avril dernier, l’institution publique aurait obte- nu 7,4 contre 6.2 pour La Citadelle. Mais rappelons que de 2010 à 2012, La Citadelle avait obtenu un meilleur poin- tage que L’Héritage, soit 6,8 contrairement à l’Héritage, qui elle avait récoltée 5,2 en 2010. En 2011, La Citadelle affichait 7,6 et en

St. Joseph received 6.7, a far cry from their pre- vious grade of 7.3. The St. Lawrence school received 5.4 compared to 3.8 last year.

“We all have a part to play inmaking our City look even better.” One team got a head start on the action. A group of employees from the St. Lawrence SeawayManagement Corporation went out on April 21 and cleaned the Rotary Eco Gar- dens at the west end of Lamoureux Park. “It’s nice to see the City and residents working together on this important cause,” said Nicole Robertson, Solid Waste Supervisor. Thanks to partnerships with the Down- town and Le Village Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) and the Cornwall and Area Chamber of Commerce, it will be easier than ever for residents and businesses to participate in Spring Clean-Up Week. Temporary garbage bins will be set up in six different locations throughout the course of the week for residents and businesses to dispose of litter.The locations are the George Assaly Lane, the Chamber of Commerce parking lot, the Eco Garden on Race Street, the Porter’s Restoration parking lot onMarl- borough Street South, theMunicipal parking lot on Montreal Road and the Empty lot on Louisa Street (behind Strung Out Guitars) Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy. “We all have a part to play in making our City look even better.” “This event is a great example of the community pride and spirit that exists in Cornwall,” said

More than meets the eye at the Cornwall jail
FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca
Do the specters of executed criminals still linger in the many halls of the Historic Cornwall Jail? Although the matter is quite debated among city residents, one thing is certain: there’s a lot more than meet the eyes when it comes to the now quiet building, located at the corner of Water Street and Pitt Street. Cornwall Museum curator Ian Bowering stresses that he doesn’t believe in ghosts haunting the jail, but he does believe that the building is quite the tourist destination. “I remember when they filmed a ghost show in there, he explained, sitting at an old
The Historic Cornwall Jail will officially be opened to the public on June 6.
table in the Cornwall communitymuseum. The ghost was supposed to knock on the door at midnight. When the time came, there was no knock, so the director called the ghost on his cellphone and what did you know, there was a knock. I don’t believe in it.”
The curator has organized several events, in the hopes of drawing attention to the often disregarded structure. “This year is special, he highlighted. We’re going to try to do the Jailhouse Blues on June 6, when the prison is officially opened for the season.” Visiting hours are scheduled to be from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends. But Bowering is quick to point that although the opening hours are limited, any groups of four or more individuals can, for a modest fee, get a spe- cial tour of the establishment. “They can call me prettymuch anytime and we’ll schedule something.” The end of something popular Much has been said about Bowering’s decision to cancel the famed haunted walk , which took place during the Halloween sea- son. Countless volunteers would dress up in costumes and jump out of hiding spots, in the hopes of scaring visitors whomade their way through the whole jail. Decorations were also set up and lights were kept dim. Yet, the curator cited disrespectfulness as the reason behind his decision. “We have to remember that several individuals finished their lives there or were hung, he explained. Then, it was an insane asylumuntil 2002. I think it’s disrespectful to those people.” Let’s also not forget that the judicial sys- temhas changed quite a bit.There was a time when men, women, children, the mentally and physically handicapped and even the homeless were confined in the building. On the very spot where the jail is located once stood army barracks used during the war of 1812, originally built as the cour-
thouse and jail in 1808. A fire in 1826 saw the total destruction of the barracks, killing soldiers and livestock. Built in 1833 and ope- ned in 1834, it was this site that was chosen to build a new federal prison and courthouse. In the yard would have been posts to which prisoners would be chained during the day. They were allowed tomove in any direction but no further than their chain allowed. It was a time of no indoor plumbing, run- ning water or electricity. Inmates would be taken to an outdoor latrine on a rope. Guards would make their rounds with a lantern. It should be noted that guards were not guards like today. They would be anyone who wanted to earn a few dollars. They would be hired to guard the prisoners so that the Jailer could have some time off.They had no interest in what went on in the jail or with the inmates. They often turned a blind eye tomany occurrences. Often times they took advantage of their position to dole out their own kind of punishment and justice. Hangings were a part of the history of the judicial system. The first hanging at the jail was issued to Clark Brown in 1879, whereas the last was issued to Peter Balcombe in 1954. Five prisoners in total were hanged in the jail courtyard. Another five inmates were hanged just a few blocks away. The addition to the jail was built in 1958 and was used for offices of the united coun- ties. The section is built directly on top of the main section of the court yard. During the excavation for this new section, seven coffins were discovered.They were removed and reburied in local cemeteries.

Invasive species in the H20 Highway $0..6/"65 r $0..6/ * 5:
The St. Lawrence Seaway is known as the H20 highway in this part of the world, ship- ping goods up and down the St. Lawrence River from the Lakehead at Thunder Bay to the Atlantic Ocean. Over the years, this highway has also served as a gateway for transporting invasive species from other nations into the Great Lakes. McGill University’s Dr. Anthony Ricciardi is an expert on invasive species in the St. Lawrence and he is the special guest spea- ker for Science and Nature on Tap that will take place on May 5 at 7 pm. In a talk titled Pandora’s Ballast Tank: How Invasive Spe- cies are Changing the St. Lawrence River , Dr. Christopher St. Andre, 46, and Shelley St. Andre, 47, both of Cornwall, were arrested on April 21. The woman was charged with nine counts of fraud while the man was charged with four counts of fraud. It is alle- ged that between March 21 and March 27, several cheques from closed accounts or unknown accounts were deposited into their accounts and money was withdrawn. Police were contacted and an investigation ensued. On April 21, they were taken into custody, charged accordingly and released to appear in court on May 28, 2015. – Francis Racine The fight is on! The Federal Liberal nomination campaign is on! Cornwall Councillor Bernadette Clement who, on March 25, announced her plans to seek the nomination for the Stormont Dun- das South Glengarry riding, has received the “green light” from the Liberal Party National Campaign. “All candidates seeking a Liberal nomination for the upcoming election must go through this process to become a qualified nomination contestant,” explained Clement. “I’m pleased to be joining fellow contestants Patricia Pichette and Corey Kalsi in what should be a spirited nomination race in our riding.” - Francis Racine The Cornwall Community Police Service is loo- king for information regarding a recent arso- nist act. On Monday, April 20, they investigated a mischief complaint in the area of Floral Drive at Guindon Park. The cab of a 2005 New Hol- land excavator had been burnt and physical damage to the equipment was done between 4:00 p.m. on April 18 and 10:30 a.m. on April 19. The Cornwall Community Police Service is asking anyone that might have information about this crime or any other crime to contact Cst. Merpaw at 933-5000, ext. 2749 or ext. 2404, to leave anonymous information. – Francis Racine Passing cheques from closed or unknown accounts Police seeking help to solve arsonist case
Ricciardi will address the changes in a river ecosystemwhen new species of plants and wildlife are introduced. Biological invasion – the spread of non- native species – is altering ecosystems wor- ldwide. No other freshwater systemcontains as many non-native species, or has been invaded as frequently, as the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River basin. Over 180 non-native species have become established in the basin
within the past two centuries. Collectively, these invasions have altered biodiversity, water quality, fish habitat, productivity, and contaminant cycling, in the lakes and in the river. “The spread and impact of current and future invaders are expected to be altered further by climate change,” explained Ric- ciardi. “For these reasons, the Great Lakes- St. Lawrence River system may experience
further ecological disruptions from invaders in the coming decades.” Most invasions have occurred since the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway and are attributable to ballast water release from overseas shipping. Recent regulations seem to have reduced the threat of foreign ballast water, but non-native species may continue to be introduced through poorly regulated vectors.

How to wash your car without scratching the paint Now that summer is on its way, car owners will start hauling out the bucket and sponge and hose for a bit of car washing on a Sunday afternoon. Sweet paradise! However, did you know that the majority of people do more harm than good to their car’s paint job simply because they aren’t aware of a few basic rules? First of all, never, ever use home cleaning products, such as dish soap or laundry detergent, on your car. These detergents are not designed for sheet metal or high gloss paint and should never be used for this purpose. There are loads of soaps on the market specifically designed for washing cars.
A car with style Car owners often add accessories to their cars in order to reflect their personalities. It’s more difficult to make your “baby” distinctive during the winter, but when summer rolls around, it’s a whole other story.
If you’d love to transform your vehicle for the summer months, a number of options are open to you, ranging from simple and inexpensive to ornate and costly.
First of all, if you want to change the colour of your car, you can opt for the application of a thermoformed film. This type of film is applied using heat and it conforms perfectly to the shape of the vehicle. You’ll feel as if you own a brand new car for a fraction of the price a paint job would have cost you. If this isn’t an option you can afford, you could always replace your car’s wheel rims. Often enough, a good choice here can completely transform the look of your car and add to its value. In a similar vein, but at lower cost, you can also change the look of your headlights and other lights on your car by installing LEDs.
The next thing to remember is to always use a microfiber cloth when washing your car. After all, you don’t want to spread the dirt around and rub it into the surface of your paint with a wash mitt or brush, do you? You should also avoid using circular motions when washing your car. That way you won’t make spider web-shaped grooves on the paint’s surface. After you’ve got your vehicle looking like new, think about applying a paint sealant. This step is best left to a professional who will be able to recommend the appropriate product for your vehicle and your requirements. A good sealant can protect your car against damage from rock fragments and other debris for two full years, making it a great investment.
Replacing the seat covers can transform the inside of your car if the original ones are worn or faded. And the addition of an air diffuser, which dispenses an aroma to match
your personality, will make you smile every time you get in your car. If you usually have passengers sitting in the back, why not decorate that seat with a cover or cushions to match the colour of your car? The important thing here is to go with your instincts and not be afraid to innovate. Just avoid stuff that could distract you or obstruct your view.

Cornwall schools grading released by Fraser report It seems nothing has changed much in Cornwall, when it comes to high schools. The Fraser Institute’s annual report on secondary schools across Canada was released on April 19. The institution prepares an evaluation report each year on how well schools perform at educating students. Among Cornwall English schools, Cornwall Public received 4.6, nearly a whole point more than its previous score, 3.9. Holy Trinity, which scored the highest in the region, received a 7.4. St. Joseph received 6.7, a far cry from their previous grade of 7.3. The St. Lawrence school received 5.4 compared to 3.8 last year. Local English high schools managed to obtain nearly similar results as their French counterparts. L’Héritage and La Citadelle both received 7.4 and 6.2 respectively. Anyone interested in viewing the report can do so at www.fraserinstitute.org. – Francis Racine
A 38-year-old Cornwall man was arrested on April 22 and charged with criminal harassment. It is alleged that during the month of April 2015, the man communicated with his 34-year-old ex-com- mon law wife despite having been warned by police not to. On April 22, the man attended police headquarters to deal with the matter. He was taken into custody and charged accordingly.

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin (never known to fail). Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help and show me, herein you are my Mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none who can withstand your power. Oh show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse in thee (3x). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can obtain my goal. You who gave me a divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances, in my life, you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as I confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy towards me and mine. The Person must say this prayer three consecutive days. After three consecutive days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favour is granted. J.L. PRAYER

Week of April 26 to May 2, 2015
ARIES You may hear about a job opening at work that is much more in line with your career goals. Some effort and a little patience are needed to secure it. TAURUS There are lots of negotiations going on around you, and you dominate the proceedings despite yourself. You cause a sensation and are even congratulated after a brilliant exploit. GEMINI You spend part of the week at home because your family needs you. Perhaps you’ll also need to get ready for a move or for the sale and pur- chase of a property. CANCER You have lots to say this week. You don’t talk for the sake of talking, but your comments have quite an im- pact in the long term and they’ll even go around the world via the Web. LEO You’re ready to spoil yourself and do something to make yourself happy. You may spend some time in the stores. You buy lots of things that lift your spirits. VIRGO There’s quite a bit of action over the next few days and you stand out for your skills and perseverance. You make some changes to your surroundings. LIBRA You may feel quite a bit of accumu- lated fatigue. A sleepless night this week slows down some projects. New eating habits would do you some good. SCORPIO Short reckonings make long friends. Avoid exchanging money with friends at the moment. You overcome your shyness by speaking in front of a crowd. SAGITTARIUS Don’t be afraid of change on a pro- fessional level, as new responsibi- lities can bring you good future pros- pects. Time is a scarce commodity this week. CAPRICORN You’re inspired to go on a trip or have some sort of adventure that re- quires a lot of preparation. A training course makes you see your future in a different light. AQUARIUS You’re particularly sensitive and so it would be good to spend some qua- lity time with friends and family in or- der to soothe tensions. You’re going to be entrusted with a few secrets. PISCES You give your full attention to your loved one. You have to make a few adjustments in your relationship. Lots of problems can be settled by doing some interesting activities together.
