for most of his life, Stephenson explained that the friendly seaway city has really what it takes to grow. “Cornwall is a small city and a big town,” he outlined. “This town and this area have a lot of potential and I believe we haven’t tapped into all of it yet. If we have a lot of businesses and industries here, the tax base can help the
He also thinks that there needs to be a revitalization of not only the waterfront, but also the land next to the 401. “You drive next to Brockville and you know that there’s a big city there, because there are so many businesses,” he explained. “You drive past Cornwall and you don’t see any- thing.”
A play, written by Norm Foster, produced by Jennifer Bellemore and directed by Mike Petrinka, is entertaining audiences in Cornwall. Self-Help is the story of Hal and Cin- dy Savage, two struggling actors who reinvent themselves as self-help gurus and, much to their surprise, become the world’s most revered relationship experts. Un- fortunately, while their careers skyrocket, their marriage goes into a nosedive, and they soon find themselves scrambling to protect their reputations. The show features several talented actors, such as Lacie Petrynka, the now well-known Grant Reso, Ali- son Latimer, Chantal Desnoyers, Neil Carriere and Paul Aubin. Representations are scheduled for October 12, 18, 23, 24 and 25 at 7:30 p.m. and at 1:30 p.m. on October 19. Self-Help is showcased at the Dream Builders Studios.

ability and transparency through council. “The current council really got off track and got lost early in their term,” he explained. “The whole term was spent trying to cover for mistakes made. They are all self-inflicted wounds.”

Having extensively cov- ered city council for over two years, Kielec knows the ins and outs of municipal poli- tics. “From the media side, you see a lot of how the in- ner workings of council are going on,” he explained. “You see a lot of what the general public doesn’t see. A lot of times, you can give the pub-
The journalist also stress- es the importance of having good governance. “I really think we need to go back to the type of government that is kinder and friend- lier and knows regulations. Even if they still are a pri- vate corporation, they are accountable to taxpayers.” Kielec also wants to mod-
