Garry Derochie of the Cornwall Community Police Service told The Journal “there is an active Professional Standards Bureau investigation ongoing” but that “no notice of hearing has been served.” He said whenever an officer has been accused of misconduct, “any discipline or discipline hearing would be stood down or adjourned until after the criminal matter has been resolved” because “the evidence should be first heard by the criminal court deciding if there was criminal misconduct.” Anyone with additional information about the investigation is asked to contact Derochie at 613-933-5000 ext. 2411

Pascal Rossignol faces charges of invitation to sexual touching, child luring on the Internet and two counts of prosti- tution of a person under the age of 18, ac- cording to a release from Cornwall police.

Cornwall police initially referred the al- legations to its special investigations unit, which determined that the alleged offenc- es occurred in Québec. The investigation

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.

Councillor Andre Rivette about a possible tax freeze. “So we do have other items coming for- ward that are also going to be a challenge to finish this year.” Adams told council last Tuesday night, that the city can enjoy a $1.6-million wind- fall due to funding requirement changes in the Ontario Disability Support program which has been fully uploaded by the prov- ince. “So we expect to be on budget by the end of the year, but right now we’re not anticipating a really big surplus, nor are we expecting a big deficit. We are hoping to be basically on budget.” While administration was aware the pro- gram was being uploaded, the city only recently received

City councillors were in a celebratory mood after learning the city will avoid a projected $600,000-plus deficit thanks to a $1.6 million windfall. That celebration might be short lived. The Journal learned last Wednesday that the city will forfeit $720,000 in taxes after a successful appeal of its assessment by Nav Canada which operates a training facility and conference centre in the city’s east end. Maureen Adams, the city’s general man- ager of financial services, issued a press re-

City dragging heels on property standards

To the editor:

ers for debris, furniture on balconies and garbage everywhere! Properties with con- struction and safety issues have not even entered this discussion yet; just think of the revenue possibilities (other cities fine $25,000 and more for some infractions). The advisory committee could have put the city back on track by looking at the lack of enforcement and revise the by-laws. So now, we will have to wait for yet another report (the third since June). This will prob- ably get lost with the budget deliberations starting soon and the mess in Cornwall will go on. A proposed property standards advisory committee could have been a great help at solving the problems created by a prop- erty standards lack of enforcement and I encourage outraged citizens to make their voices heard and contact the mayor and city councillors with their complaints. The above information is based on a re- port prepared by property standards, re- quested by Councillor Dupelle and present- ed to council Aug. 13, 2012.

Mr. Rogers of the Property Standards De- partment reports that “educating the of- fenders, friendly notices and grace periods are good practices”. He claims that, “early formal action (fines) is inconsiderate and confrontational”. He is more concerned about the offend-

wall prefers to have a truck pick them up ev- erymorning, free of charge to the offenders. Tying up provincial courts is an excuse used by Mr. Rogers but, cities like Sudbury, trans- fer fines directly to the offender’s property taxes. Mr. Rogers admitted to not knowing about fine transfers to property taxes and

Council made a huge mistake Tuesday night in deferring a solution that citizens of Cornwall have been helplessly waiting for. Council has no idea what its citizens put up with and what the real problem is. Councillors obviously do not drive around to see the garbage everywhere, dilapidated houses, furniture stored on balconies, dogs defecating anywhere and grocery buggies everywhere. Believe it or not, we do have by-laws to protect us from all this mess. The problem is no one at the property standards depart- ment is willing to enforce them and council couldn’t care less except maybe for council- lors Dupelle and Clement. The city of Cornwall received 2,164 com- plaints in 2010 and 1,756 complaints in 2011. Are the problems of messy proper- ties getting better? No, complainants have just given up because the city does nothing about the complaints! When the property standards depart- ment receives a complaint, they inspect, is- sue a notice and then . . . everything stops.

fines for grocery bug- gies. Neither was he aware of Cornwall’s free pick up service of buggies. Another excuse given is lack of staff. In 2011, citizens paid taxes for a property standards depart- ment, to the tune of

ers’ well being than the poor people who have to put up with the unsightly proper- ties. Which part of by- law enforcement does he not get? As the by- law officer, it is his job to enforce the by-laws to protect the rights of other tax payers.

“Are the problems of messy properties getting better? No, complainants have just given up because the city does nothing about the complaints!”

$236,665 in salaries. With more than 2,000 property standards complaints a year at now $105 per com- plaint, you do the math! This is enough revenue to support more staff if they had issued fines! This is not even taking into ac- count clean yard by-laws fines and fines for repeat offences. Offenders are just loving this by-law enforcement! The city must begin to charge offend-

The total revenue for 2011 by-law en- forcement was $77,828. (This includes 3,500 dog licenses and 345 building per- mits). How much revenue was actually tak- en in by property standards for by-law fines is a mystery! Could it be that there were no fines issued?

Canadians need answers on E. coli controversy

23 000 copies

To the editor:

This government is putting Canada’s food safety at risk. Consumption of beef contam- inated with the bacteria can cause serious and potentially life-threatening illnesses. And by the way Conservative M.P Guy Lauzon voted in favor of the austerity bud- get. Most importantly, Canadians deserve answers on E. coli contamination.

Do Canadians expect their government to keep them safe? Last spring, the Harper government slashed $46 million from food inspection in Canada. Can you believe it ? One-third of all Canadian beef has been pulled from the shelves. The truth is, we’re facing the larg- est beef recall in Canadian history and more than 20 Canadians are sick. Three city residents are facing drug charges in separate incidents over the span of six days earlier this month. A 16-year-old youth was arrested was found to be in possession of approxi- mately five grams of a substance believed to be marijuana after he was stopped by police on Thursday. He was charged with possession of a controlled substance.

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. Columbia Finishing Mills has been pro- ducing the cover for Canadian passports for 30 years. But it lost the $1 million contract when the government issued an interna- tional tender for new high-tech passports containing a computer chip. Dan Plourde, sales manager with Co- lumbia Finishing, said the new tender was heavily weighted toward pricing, forcing the main contractor – Canadian Bank Note in Ottawa – to find a cheaper sub-contrac- tor for the cover in Europe. The loss of the contract, which comprised 25 to 30 per cent of the factory’s sales, will dramatically affect the small company’s “bottom line”, Plourde said. “So we will have a layoff. We will have a few people let go.” Although it was Canadian Bank Note which ultimately decided to outsource the cover production to an offshore company, Plourde says the federal government “left it open” to send the work offshore. “Seventy per cent of the contract was on price and Canadian content was not important. That’s the part that really troubled me the most.” News of the contract loss prompted a fiery letter from the Cornwall and Area Chamber of Commerce president Rick Shaver. “The Canadian passport is a document respected around the world and is carried with pride by millions of Canadians. While many of these passport holders will likely be unaware of the government’s intention, the chamber believes they would be deeply troubled to learn that the document’s cov- er has been ‘sold-out’ to a foreign country where it will now be manufactured.” 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.

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 magnitude earthquake struck about 19 minutes after midnight 21 kilometres west-northwest of St-Hyacinthe, Que. The quake was felt in the Greater Montre- al area and in Ottawa, according to earth- quakes Canada. People in the western Quebec seismic zone adjacent to Ontario has felt small earthquakes and suffered damage from larger tremors for more than three centu- ries, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. A magnitude 6.1 earthquake occurred in 1935 at the northwestern end of the seismic zone, and a 6.2 magnitude quake occurred in 1732 at the southeastern end of the zone where it caused significant damage in Mon- treal, according to the USGS. The last major earthquake to strike Corn- wall was a 5.8 magnitude tremor in 1945. A 33-year-old Cornwall man is facing weapons charges in connection with an attempted armed robbery earlier this month. Michael Colborne is accused of demand- ing money from a 19-year-old acquaintance while pointing a firearm at him after kicking in a door at the teen’s residence Oct. 4.

One more goal and it would have been a Quince-tet. Even still, a quartet fromMarly Quince was enough to power the Cornwall Colts over the Nepean Raiders on Sunday afternoon. Quince scored four goals for the Cornwall Colts as theymade it twowins in a rowwith a shootout victory at the Nepean Sportsplex.

But his most impor- tant one was not even part of the official tally -- it was the one that tied the shootout, ef- fectively setting up Michael Pontarelli’s game winner on the Colts’ third shot after Nepean took the early shootout lead. The 6-5 win moved the Tier 1 Jr. A Colts to

The win ended a three-game skid which saw the Colts fall to the Gloucester Rang- ers, Kanata Stallions and the Ottawa Junior Senators over a five-day period. Piccolino stopped 25 of 26 shots sent his way. The Colts pelted 42 shots at Kemptville netminder Billy Cooper.

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

COOPÉRATION On peut dire que le mouvement coopératif a fait bien du chemin au Québec depuis l’ouver- ture de la première coopérative d’épargne et de crédit, fondée en 1901 par Alphonse Desjardins. La coopération sera d’ailleurs à l’honneur du 14 au 20 octobre, dans le cadre de la 58 e Semaine de la coopération. Cet évé- nement, qui vu le jour pour la première fois en 1954, est chapeauté annuellement par le Conseil québécois de la coopération et de la mutualité. Afin de sensibiliser citoyens et commer- çants au modèle coopératif sera d’ailleurs distribué un feuillet informatif intitulé «Le saviez-vous?». Le mouvement coopératif étant intimement lié à la promotion de l’économie locale et du développement durable, c’est l’occasion idéale pour les coopératives de faire valoir ce qui les distingue, de mettre de l’avant leurs nombreux avantages et de souligner leur implication au seins de la communauté locale. Par ailleurs, l’Organisation des nations unies (ONU) a officiellement procla- mé 2012 «l’Année internationale des coopé- ratives». Pour l’occasion, les divers gouvernements sont encouragés à créer un contexte propice au développement des coopé- ratives et à stimuler leurs contributions à l’envi- ronnement global dans lequel elles évoluent. Pour une économie différente La Semaine de la coopération vise à faire con- naître tous les aspects de la coopérative, qui a pour priorité les besoins et le bien-être de ses membres. Ce modèle d’affaires ne vous est pas vraiment familier? Dans une coopérative, tous les membres sont égaux et chacun bénéficie d’un seul et unique vote. À l’opposé, dans le modèle de l’économie de marché, les actionnai- res qui possèdent le plus d’actions ont par le fait même une plus grande mainmise sur l’entreprise.

Les d’immeubles multi-résidentiels pourront désormais recycler. Le recyclagepeutmaintenant se fairednas les appartements et les condominiums. Ce projet de recyclage coûte 40 000$. La ville a profité d’une subvention provinciale de 21 000$. LaVille paie le reste de la facture. Cornwall distribuera gratuitement 350 chariots de recyclage dans les immeubles multi-résidentiels. S’ajoutent aussi à ces objets plus de 450 boîtes de recyclage livrées allant des complexes de maisons en rangée ainsi qu’aux plus petits immeubles multi-résidentiels. Nicole Robertson, superviseure en gestion des déchets solides de Cornwall, explique qu’un grand chariot de recyclage roulant sera installé pour chaque ensemble de sept logements dans un immeuble. Integrated Environmental Waste Services a développé le guide d’instruction sur le programme de recyclage dans les immeubles multi-résidentiels et la base de données sur celles-ci. Cette base de données, compilera des informations sur l’état des appartements. La ville fera vider par des camions les chariots de recyclage dans les immeubles multi-résidentiels sur une base hebdomadaire. résidents Robyn Guindon Pharmacie Ltée.
