I am an avid reader of The/Le Journal. As a career woman I don’t always have time to catch up on local news. I need reading material that is written in plain language that covers what is happening throughout our community. There is a little bit of everything from news to entertainment to sports, etc. That is what The/Le Journal does for me. It’s informative and as a paper, it is just the right size for a person on the “go”. Although I am not French speaking, I do attempt to read the French articles and so, I also use it as a learning tool. The/Le Journal is the perfect paper for me. Geraldine (Dina) McGowan B.A, B.ED.

Canadians need answers on E. coli controversy

23 000 copies

To the editor:

This govern m ent is putting Canada’s food safet y at risk. Consu m ption of beef conta m - inated with the bacteria can cause serious and potentiall y life-threatening illnesses. And b y the wa y Conservative M.P Gu y Lauzon voted in favor of the austerit y bud- get. Most i m portantl y , Canadians deserve answers on E. coli conta m ination.

Do Canadians expect their government to keep them safe? Last spring, the Harper govern m ent slashed $46 m illion fro m food inspection in Canada. Can y ou believe it ? One-third of all Canadian beef has been pulled fro m the shelves. The truth is, we’re facing the larg- est beef recall in Canadian histor y and m ore than 20 Canadians are sick.

By Greg Kielec greg.kielec@eap.on.ca A city industry has lost a major contract producing covers for the Canadian pass- port as a result of cost-cutting by the fed- eral government. Colu m bia Finishing Mills has been pro- ducing the cover for Canadian passports for 30 y ears. But it lost the $1 m illion contract when the govern m ent issued an interna- tional tender for new high-tech passports containing a co m puter chip. Dan Plourde, sales m anager with Co- lu m bia Finishing, said the new tender was heavil y weighted toward pricing, forcing the m ain contractor – Canadian Bank Note in Ottawa – to find a cheaper sub-contrac- tor for the cover in Europe. The loss of the contract, which co m prised 25 to 30 per cent of the factor y ’s sales, will dra m aticall y affect the s m all co m pan y ’s “botto m line”, Plourde said. “So we will have a la y off. We will have a few people let go.” Although it was Canadian Bank Note which ulti m atel y decided to outsource the cover production to an offshore co m pan y , Plourde sa y s the federal govern m ent “left it open” to send the work offshore. “Sevent y per cent of the contract was on price and Canadian content was not i m portant. That’s the part that reall y troubled m e the m ost.” News of the contract loss pro m pted a fier y letter fro m the Cornwall and Area Cha m ber of Co mm erce president Rick Shaver. “The Canadian passport is a docu m ent respected around the world and is carried with pride b y m illions of Canadians. While m an y of these passport holders will likel y be unaware of the govern m ent’s intention, the cha m ber believes the y would be deepl y troubled to learn that the docu m ent’s cov- er has been ‘sold-out’ to a foreign countr y where it will now be m anufactured.” City firm loses passport cover contract A Cornwall firm has lost the contract to produce the cover for Canadian pass- ports, something it has been producing for the government for 30 years.

Earthquake rattles region

MEILLEUR CHOIX POUR LA SÉCURITÉ DE L’IIHS

The earth shook in the early morning last Wednesday, and although it wasn’t strong enough to rattle most Cornwall and area residents from their sleep, in did cause a buzz on social media websites. A 4.5 m agnitude earthquake struck about 19 m inutes after m idnight 21 kilo m etres west-northwest of St-H y acinthe, Que. The quake was felt in the Greater Montre- al area and in Ottawa, according to earth- quakes Canada. People in the western Quebec seis m ic zone adjacent to Ontario has felt s m all earthquakes and suffered da m age fro m larger tre m ors for m ore than three centu- ries, according to the U.S. Geological Surve y . A m agnitude 6.1 earthquake occurred in 1935 at the northwestern end of the seis m ic zone, and a 6.2 m agnitude quake occurred in 1732 at the southeastern end of the zone where it caused significant da m age in Mon- treal, according to the USGS. The last m ajor earthquake to strike Corn- wall was a 5.8 m agnitude tre m or in 1945.

One more goal and it would have been a Quince-tet. Even still, a quartet from Marly Quince was enough to power the Cornwall Colts over the Nepean Raiders on Sunday afternoon. Quince scored four goals for the Cornwall Colts as the y m ade it two wins in a row with a shootout victor y at the Nepean Sportsplex.

Making room for feminine values in the business world

National Business Women’s Week, held from October 21 to 27 this year, will once again honour the contribu- tions of female entrepreneurs. Many of these women, who are a huge source of inspiration for the next generation, do not believe in grounding their business models on the way men conduct business but instead promote their own values. For many years business women had to sublimate their personalities and strive to think like men in order to be accepted in the business world. Nowadays, however, they are able to follow their own creative drive and be successful without having to betray their own values. This can be attributed to the efforts of past generations of successful female entrepreneurs. But what is meant exactly by “feminine” ways of doing business? A good example is networking and commu- nicating. Indeed, in this era of globalization centred on knowledge and communications, business can

no longer be conducted as it used to be. Networking is vital in order to meet the new challenges facing entrepreneurs, both men and women. Women do not have the same way of exercising their power either. Unlike the pyramid type of hierarchy so representative of masculine values, women wield their power less authoritatively and give fewer orders, preferring to implement their power in a more indirect manner. In this way, when a conflict situation arises, many women will try to bring the parties closer together in order to find a win-win solution. During National Business Women’s Week, let’s celebrate the ways that today’s women do business, as well as the positive results their style has on the economy and society as a whole.

Place aux valeurs féminines en affaires!

Encore cette année, la Semaine des femmes d’affai- res nous revient, du 21 au 27 octobre, pour rendre hommage à ces femmes qui savent accorder au féminin pluriel le concept de réussite en affaires. Ces véritables sources d’inspiration pour la génération montante ne calquent pas leur modèle d’affaires sur les façons de faire masculines, mais mettent de l’avant des valeurs bien à elles. Longtemps, les femmes d’affaires ont eu à oublier leur personnalité et à «faire des hommes d’elles- mêmes» pour être acceptées dans un monde d’hom- mes. Aujourd’hui, grâce notamment à toutes ces femmes qui ont réussi avant elles, elles peuvent suivre leurs élans naturels et connaître du succès sans pour autant renier leurs valeurs. Et quelles sont-elles, ces façons de faire féminines? Le

réseautage par exemple, plutôt qu’une hiérarchie de type pyramidal davantage représentative des valeurs masculines. En effet, dans une ère sans frontières axée sur le savoir et les communications, on ne peut plus faire des affaires comme jadis. Le travail en réseau s’avère tout indiqué pour relever les nouveaux défis qui se profilent à l’horizon des entrepreneurs, hom- mes ou femmes. Les femmes n’ont pas non plus la même façon d’exer- cer le pouvoir. Elles sont moins autoritaires et don- nent moins d’ordres, préférant un exercice du pou- voir plus indirect. De même, en situation de conflit, plusieurs femmes misent sur ce qui rapproche les partis afin de trouver une solution gagnant-gagnant. En cette Semaine des femmes d’affaires, célébrons la possibilité qu’ont les femmes aujourd’hui de faire des

CHOD FM 92,1 : fin de l’hémorragie du CA? ACTUALITÉ

editionap.ca

Des membres ont démissionné du conseil d’administration en raison de leur santé chancelante, explique Marc Bissonnette. Tout récemment, le président Gérald Samson, a dû passer le relais à M. Bissonnette en raison d’un arrêt cardio-vasculaire. Marc Bissonnette demeure optimiste malgré la situation que traverse CHOD FM 92,1. Quant à Syd Gardiner, un conseiller municipal de Cornwall et aussi membre

du conseil d’administration, il craint la fermeture de la station radiophonique en raison des départs. Gérard Despaul, ancien trésorier de CHOD FM 92,1, a dû plier bagages pour des raisons de santé. Ainsi, le nombre de membres au conseil d’administration est passé de cinq à quatre. Syd Gardiner soutient que «le faible nombre» de membres au conseil d’administration cause un problème. «Les décisions administratives ne peu- vent pas être prises par un président et un vice-président de conseil d’administration qui sont entourés de très peu d’administrateurs. Le nombre idéal de membres sur le conseil serait de l’ordre de huit. Je ne fais que dire mon opinion personnelle », soutient cet anglophone francophile. En vertu des règles en vigueur chez CHOD FM 92,1, le conseil d’administration doit être composé de cinq membres. Cependant, Marc Bissonnette n’écarte pas la possibilité de « faire grossir » son conseil d’administration de CHOD FM 92,1. « Ça ferait notre affaire », ajoute le président du conseil d’administration de CHOD FM 92,1. De plus, M. Bissonnette ajoute que la direction de CHOD FM 92,1 prend les moyens

pour faire remplacer Gérard Despaul. La sta- tion jongle avec deux scénarios possibles. Dans le premier, elle recrutera « à l’interne » le successeur au trésorier Gérard Despaul, explique M. Bissonnette. La direction pourra aussi aller chercher à l’extérieur de l’équipe de CHOD FM 92,1. « On a trois ou quatre candidatures de l’extérieur pour le poste de trésorier », déclare le président de la station radiophonique sur un ton confiant. Un cumul de tâches? Syd Gardiner a aussi déploré le cumul de tâches que cause le nombre limité d’administrateurs. «Puisque le trésorier a démissionné, dit le conseiller municipal de Cornwall, j’ai dû prendre son poste.» M. Gardiner n’a pas mentionné le nombre de temps qu’il compte rester à CHOD FM 92,1. Cependant, une chose est claire dans son esprit : « Si rien ne bouge, déclare-t-il, je quitterai CHOD FM 92,1. » Marc Bissonnette soutient que le cumul de tâches n’indispose personne. «Chaque membre du conseil d’administration prend les tâches qu’il veut, affirme-t-il. En plus d’être le président, je rédige le procès verbal à l’assemblée générale ou durant les réunions du CA.» De plus, « le personnel de CHOD FM 92,1 est uni et très heureux », ajoute Marc Bissonnette.

CHOD FM 92,1, la seule station radiophonique francophone de Cornwall, ne fermera pas boutique, déclare Marc Bissonnette, le président intérimaire de la station. La station demeurera en place même si elle a été affectée par des départs au sein de son conseil d’administration.
