				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_49140" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 329px"><img class=" wp-image-49140 " alt="hickley" src="http://cornwallfreenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/hickley-531x800.jpg" width="319" height="480" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Cornwall Ontario Deputy Fire Chief Rob Hickley</p></div>
<p><strong>CFN</strong> &#8211; In a true David and Goliath case Deputy Fire Chief Rob Hickley stood stoically awaiting for the proceedings to commence at the Court house in Cornwall Ontario.</p>
<p>With the words &#8220;My name is Fay Brunning&#8221;  the hearing commenced.</p>
<p>To be decided was whether Superior Court of Ontario Justice, The Honourable John M. Johnston of Brockville would allow the City of Cornwall&#8217;s two lawyers and the Mayors lawyer (the city still has not confirmed if it&#8217;s either paying for the mayor&#8217;s lawyer or reimbursing Mr. Cameron) to squash his appeal to have his legal expenses paid by the city or have them squashed as the nearly $2,000 per hour of firepower being thrown at him were attempting to do.</p>
<p>For the day Ms Fay Brunning was representing him for this motion pro bono unless the courts decided to cover cost.  She vented some frustration over the city not providing any defence or evidence as Super Lawyer Will McDowell pressed to cross examine Mr. Hickley over finances.</p>
<p>Mr. McDowell came on full force(with a supporting lawyer in tow)  even suggesting that Ms Brunning was Grand Standing at one point although it looked a bit more like he was the one doing the performing.</p>
<p>Surely it will be a long drive back to Toronto for him at the city&#8217;s expense.</p>
<p>There was some chatter about sealing Mr. Hickley&#8217;s documents, but Judge Johnson was clear that we media should be consulted prior to any such decision.   Apparently CFN publishing certain excerpts caused some commotion as the records were supposed to be sealed by the court yet we were given all the files at the counter.  <a href="http://cornwallfreenews.com/2013/05/hickley-papers-show-bullying-conflict-of-interest-abuse-in-cornwall-city-responds-with-zero-evidence-tries-to-have-case-thrown-out/" target="_blank">LINK</a></p>
<p>Mr. McDowell casually suggested a change of venue as well which the good judge ruled out which I&#8217;m sure was music to the ears of the near capacity crowd that came out mostly in support of the Deputy Fire Chief.</p>
<p>When Ms Brunning offered a late affidavit presentation that was rejected by the other side she posited that Mr. Hickley&#8217;s costs be covered for any delay which seemed to trip up Mr.McDowell who is sitting in for city litigator David Sherriff-Scott.</p>
<p>Ms Brunning also shared that the city was refusing in Freedom of Information request by Mr. Hickley to provide how much it has spent in legal fees to date suggesting that it needed 30 more days to tender any information and how much it would cost to provide it.</p>
<p>One person I was speaking with was outraged that here was a city, instead of supporting one of its hundreds of employees who is alleged to have been abused by the CAO and forced to resort to Whistleblowing,  was cowardly hiding away at a training session and having their lawyers try and hide the abuse that has triggered at least two whistleblowing lawsuits with rumors of more to come out.</p>
<p>The only politician present was former councilor Leslie O&#8217;Shaughnessy who himself resigned from council after being fed up of lies and lack of accountability by the Mayor and his team.</p>
<p>The next court date is July 16, 2013 as round two, and we haven&#8217;t even started the trial yet that led one person to point out that this could run right into the next municipal election.  Hopefully Mr. Hickley isn&#8217;t harassed while awaiting his next court date.</p>
<p>The big losers of course are the tax payers of the city of Cornwall who in addition to footing the bill for this scandal also have to endure the good reputation of our city being further muddied by this conflicted Mayor and his cabal of councilors and city managers that have stood by, even if in fear, and watched this all happen.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-47306" alt="Dr. Evil" src="http://cornwallfreenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Dr.-Evil.jpg" width="720" height="480" />CFN</strong> &#8211; The Senate scandal continues to dog the Harper Conservatives with new revelations occurring on almost a daily basis. Watching from the sidelines, it’s also interesting to watch the spin wars unfold as each party tries to get its message out to the public. So far I would have to give the opposition spin machines the edge.</p>
<p>No one can down play the seriousness of the issue both for the individuals concerned, for the Prime Minister, the Conservative Party or the Senate itself. The accusations are very serious as the number of investigations so indicates.</p>
<p>We do have to be careful though to separate fact from rhetoric. Having spent a decade on the Opposition side of the House creating issues for Liberal governments to handle; I am perhaps a bit cynical with some of the claims I see or with some of the questions I see asked in the House of Commons.</p>
<p>The Liberals released their ten questions that they would like to have answered and like the public at large, I too have questions that I would like to see answered. Here are a few of them.</p>
<p>In my experience (most of which admittedly was on the House side), most committee reports go through several drafts before a final version is agreed to by the various members of the committee. There can be any number of redrafts.</p>
<p>Right now all the attention is focused on the Duffy report and how one version differs from the other. As a matter of curiosity, how many redrafts did the Mac Harb report go through? Does the original draft of that report exactly match the final version or were there changes made?</p>
<p>Judging by the present position of the Liberals on the final version of the Duffy report, did the Liberal senators on the committee sign off on that draft? If not, why didn’t they attach a dissenting or minority report?</p>
<p>With some six Liberal senators on the Committee of Internal Economy are we to believe that not one senator or staffer consulted with the Office of the Leader of the Opposition to give them a heads up on when the Duffy or Harb report might be finished? Did they ask for talk points or guidance on their communication strategy for when the report was released? I am just curious.</p>
<p>To date, I don’t see why there was a need to help Duffy out financially. He had a house in Ottawa and another in PEI, why not simply mortgage one or both? And if for some reason a mortgage wasn’t possible then why not put one up for sale?</p>
<p>This issue shows no sign of going away. My sense is that there will be many twists and turns to the story before all the facts are known.</p>
<p>Over the next few days and possibly even months, there will be many more questions but hopefully some answers as well.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-49129" alt="John_Tortorella" src="http://cornwallfreenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/John_Tortorella.jpg" width="220" height="214" />CFN</strong> &#8211; Love him or hate him, as many do, nobody can say that Rangers coach John Tortorella is anyone else other than his own man.   The abrasive fire brand coach of 11 and half seasons has been the playoffs in 8 of those seasons and brought home a Stanley Cup once while winning three divisional titles.</p>
<p>This has been a disappointing season for the Rangers and talk radio shows even in Montreal are abuzz about &#8220;Torts&#8221; getting the axe as though it&#8217;s a given.</p>
<p>Last night the coach benched his star centre, Brad Richards, he of the huge free agent contract with a whack of years left who also was coached by Torts in Tampa Bay where they won a cup together.   At the end of the day your star players have to play like stars.  If you sign on the dotted line for the big bucks you have to earn them and the frustrating Richards simply did not achieve results.</p>
<p>The home grown and unheralded Rangers offered up some pride and support for the coach beating the Bruins in OT to avoid a sweep in their round two match up.</p>
<p>Will Mr. Richards be back on the ice next game?    I&#8217;d say yes as the pressure would be immense on him to perform and if the Rangers lost without a good perf then Richards would take a lot of the blame.</p>
<p>Torts may not be back for the Rangers next year, maybe Richards likewise as he&#8217;s a prime candidate for a costly buy out.   GM Glen Sather likes buying big ticket players; but this season all three of his, Rick Nash, recently departed Marion Gaborik, and Mr. Richards have all had underperforming seasons.   In sports that usually means the finger is pointed at the coach.</p>

<p>Surely this win might bend that finger and if the Rangers find a way to actually move to round three that finger might be turned on the high priced Prima Donnas that simply don&#8217;t get the fact that if you take the contract you have to put up the numbers.</p>

<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">There is most likely no area in the public domain that has more false and misleading information than the Nutraceutical industry or Vitamin and Supplement industry. Turn on the TV and watch late night Infomercials on the latest product, to make you lose weight, get rid of all your problems, clear your arthritis etc. etc. </span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;">&#8220;There&#8217;s a sucker born every minute&#8221; is a phrase often credited to P. T. Barnum ( 1810–1891), an American showman. There is always a new washed up Celebrity hocking a new product, for personal gain. Remember the sound advise: “If it s to good to be True, then it most like is False”</span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sports nutrition is slowly moving from the niche markets of gyms and health food stores to mass-market outlets. Driven by new ingredients, packaging formats and changing consumer behavior, sport products are finding their way into supermarkets and convenience stores to satisfy consumer demand for healthy and convenient lifestyle solutions. However, authenticity and efficacy remain big challenges for the sports nutrition market (Euromonitor, 2009) since consumers tend to be skeptical of the validity of the claims. Historically, consumers of sports nutrition products have been bodybuilders and athletes. This is changing as weekend sports enthusiasts and lifestyle users are creating new market opportunities for food manufacturers.</span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-size: large;">Globally, the market for sports nutrition products (excluding sport beverages) is estimated at US$4.7 billion (<a href="http://www.ats-sea.agr.gc.ca/inter/5569-eng.htm" target="_blank">Euromonitor</a>, April 2010), of which, the United States (U.S.) is the largest consumer, representing approximately two-thirds of the world market in both volume and value of retail sales. </span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><strong><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Suppliment Quality</span></span></span></strong></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #554d4d;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This information will forever change your views about nutritional supplements – read the following carefully!</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #554d4d;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">With the exception of a few supplement companies, we as consumers have absolutely no idea if our nutritional supplement pills contain what is written on the label, and here is why:</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #554d4d;">•<span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">There are no laws and regulations for manufacturing supplements…it is an unregulated industry at present. </span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #554d4d;">•<span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Did you know that most companies selling supplements are marketing companies? In other words, the supplement stores/shops do not make supplements; they only sell them.</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #554d4d;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Look on your supplements labels: you will likely read: “distributed by” or “manufactured for” the company that sells the supplements to the public.</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #554d4d;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This means that most companies selling supplements to us have no idea if the product contains the nutrients listed on the label, because in most cases the “selling” company has nothing to do with supplement manufacturing.</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #554d4d;">• <span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Drug manufacturing is very different. In the United States, there are about 100 companies that are licensed to manufacture pharmaceuticals. The FDA visits these facilities on a regular basis to insure that manufacturing procedures are proper. Failure to comply with regulations means closure of the company and potential criminal prosecution. Supplement manufacturing is very different from pharmaceutical manufacturing.</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #554d4d;">•<span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">There are approximately 1000 manufacturers of supplements currently in the United States, and unlike drug manufacturers, they are NOT required by law to adhere to consistent manufacturing standards, and NO agency inspects nutrition supplement manufacturers.</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #554d4d;">• <span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As of January 1, 2004, supplement manufacturers are only required to register with the FDA as a Food Manufacturing Facility. This is a new requirement, which went into effect as part of the BioTerrorism Act. Consider what this means in terms of the supplements you may be taking.</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #554d4d;">• <span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Approximately 1000 of the companies that manufacture supplements have never been visited or inspected by any outside agency to insure appropriate manufacturing.</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #554d4d;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">- This means that no one has any idea what these companies are doing in terms of manufacturing and quality control; we must rely solely on company literature…and which company will admit to less than adequate manufacturing practices? None. All will claim great prowess.</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #554d4d;">• <span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Approximately 50 supplement manufacturers are GMP-certified (Good Manufacturing Practices) by the Natural Products Association (NPA). The NPA is a 70 year-old organization and about 15 years ago it created a GMP certification program for nutritional supplement manufacturers. </span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #554d4d;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Only 50 of the more than 1000 manufacturers have endeavored to get GMP-certified by the NPA, and several of them are suppliers of raw materials to the GMP manufacturers.</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #554d4d;"><span style="font-size: large;">You can visit the NPA website to see if your supplement company has met the minimal standards set forth by the npa. Here is a Link!  </span></span><a href="http://www.npainfo.org/index.php?submenu=GMPcert&amp;src=gendocs&amp;ref=CertifiedCompanies&amp;category=QualityAssurance"><span style="color: #000099;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">NPA</span></span></span></a></span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #554d4d;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The NPA-GMP companies are listed in alphabetical order. Notice that FoodScience Corporation</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #554d4d;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Essex Junction, VT  the parent company for DaVinci Labs. is on the list. </span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" align="LEFT"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Walmart is the largest retailer of Vitamins in USA, and most likely Canada. Walmart buys in bulk from the largest suppliers, with the lowest prices, and greatest margins for profit. Most custom manufacturing companies that are members of the NPA could not meet the volume that Walmart requires. Be wary of the products from Large Volume retailers. You are what you eat and consume. It is always best to try and consume Whole Foods, and avoid Processed Foods. Almost all Packaged Foods are processed, with names from a chemical Compendium, that you have never heard of. Most of these chemicals, will improve shelf life, and make the food more attractive in color or texture, but these chemicals and combinations of chemicals have interactions and often side effects that we might pay the price for in the future. </span></span></span></p>

<p><strong>CFN</strong> &#8211; <span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This Column of &#8220;Spirits in Unity&#8221; is being published by CFN for the community of Stormont, Dundas &amp; Glengarry. </span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US"><strong><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Secrets of Horse Whispering</span></span></strong></p>
<p lang="en-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A friend sent me a video of Jackie Evanco singin “I Believe” today and as I sit here writing today’s column there is a tear running down my face after listening to her inspiring message and enchanting voice.</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I am thinking back to last weekend and all the wonderful people who participated in this year’s Bike-a-Thon Plus for the Children’s Treatment Centre. The centre has helped so many thousands of kids believe again. They have helped turn hearts in despair into ‘hearts of hope’.</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I am fortunate to have been blessed with the opportunity to work with a group of young people who have helped many horses learn to trust in humans again and become wonderful partners for them. I hope that you had an opportunity to meet some of these rehabilitated horses at this year’s Bike-a-Thon Plus, but in case you didn’t have a chance you can still meet these wonderful “young horse whisperers” and their equine playmates at a special event being held at Drogheda Manor Horsemanship, 15975 County Road 18, between Lunenburg and Harrison’s Corners. </span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A special horse show is being held to reveal the ‘Secrets of Horse Whispering”. At the show you will have the opportunity to meet beginning horsemen and women as well as professional horsemen in a show designed to entertain and educate audiences about horses. Like humans many horses suffer at the hands of humans, sometimes people who are actually very caring individuals but who really don’t understand the true nature of horses inadvertently end up becoming horse torturers. I know how easily this can happen since it happened to me.</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Attending the show this year is a very special lady named Farrah Green (www.sitting horse.us) with her horses Ceasar and Wesley. Farrah will be performing at the show which is free to attend. A bake sale and BBQ will be held at the show to help raise funds for the local OSPCA animal shelter. I hope you will plan to attend and bring your friends too. Bring along your lawn chairs and enjoy an uplifting horse experience. The show takes place rain or shine with covered facilities available.</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Throughout the previous 39 columns I have attempted to reveal what I have learned about ‘Horse Whispering’. Many horsemen don’t actually like the term ‘horse whispering’ although to the uninitiated, the term may have more meaning than ‘Natural Horsemanship” etc. As with many things, the term originated in Hollywood and has become part of the vernacular with everything from dog whisperers to bird whisperers.</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">You can meet some of the personality types that I wrote about in previous columns, but see how the positive characteristics of their personalities can be brought out with gentleness and good horsemanship.</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It is really all about real horsemanship and it can be learned by anyone. At the show you will see students as young as 8 years old being horsemen. They will show you how you can have a special relationship with a horse. I hope you will attend.</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If you didn’t get to ride a spirit horse last weekend, here is you chance to get that dream of a lifetime ride on some very special horses.</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">At Drogheda Manor Horsemanship we live by the following promise.</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Horseman&#8217;s Promise</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I promise I will see you</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For all you were born to be</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Before the training starts</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Before the A&#8217;s and B&#8217;s</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For I do not want to change you</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Your heart, your soul, your spirit</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For I want for you to sing your song</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For the entire world to hear it</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">There will be many things to learn</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For my world is different un to yours</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And I will teach you with compassion</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">To understand the greater cause</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For alone, you are quite special</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And quite perfect in nature’s eye</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But with my help, you&#8217;ll be a diamond</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">That will brighten up the sky</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I promise you I will be fair</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Whilst you learn to understand</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">My requests will all be justified</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I promise you a gentle hand</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">You will learn to seek my guidance</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">On pure knowledge you will feed</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And I hope to share a bond with you</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">To fulfill both our needs</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For a horseman with no horse</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Is just a man without a cause</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And we will learn and grow together</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">To accept and know the other’s flaws</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I promise I will give my best</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In every single moment</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For you to give your best as well</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Is to know your gift and own it</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So whether your name is &#8216;Teddy&#8217; or &#8216;Spot&#8217;</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Or &#8216;Weatherby James Saint Thomas&#8217;</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I will see you for all that you can be</span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For you have my Horseman&#8217;s Promise.</span></span></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>CFN</strong> &#8211; Sadly the Downtown Cornwall Farmers Market is no more.   The local DBIA seemed intent to kill it two years ago when local workhorse Gaye Adams was replaced by Tony Lakroix and Keitha Fisher for one year before Mr. Lakroix took over in 2012.</p>
<p>I feel a personal sadness as we all worked hard in the first two years of the market and it had a wonderful informal buzz to it.   Special events, good food, and some great chat were the norm Saturday mornings; and hot donuts from Riley&#8217;s bakery across the street which went really well with some fresh ground Coffey&#8217;s Coffee.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="coffey" src="http://cornwallfreenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/coffey.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="CWFM" src="http://cornwallfreenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/CWFM-248x250.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Doggies Did it at the Market too!<br />
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/RKp7YzN54Us" height="315" width="420" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The change in direction by the BIA however alienated many of the original vendors.  Bizarre contracts from Mr. Lakriox scared away new vendors, selling food for wholesalers,  and with almost no marketing support the writing was on the wall which was great news for the Long Sault Market and Seaway Market in the Brick&#8217;s parking lot.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Personally I was hoping to see the market evolve and capitalize on the downtown feel as Cornwall is desperate for more action for Pitt Street on weekend.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sadly the DBIA disagreed and now the market is no more.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">What were some of your best memories of the Cornwall Farmer&#8217;s Market?  You can post your comments below.</p>

<p><strong>CFN</strong> &#8211; An odd time to call a super secret special training session of City council don&#8217;t you think?  That&#8217;s exactly what the City of Cornwall is doing.  At near the same time as $1,000 per hour lawyer Will McDowell will be trying to have the case for the city covering the legal cost of Whistleblower of Deputy Fire Chief Rob Hickley dismissed, Mayor Kilger has set up a special secret training session.</p>
<p>The city is refusing to divulge why this training is secret, what type of training it is, for example Media Relations, or for that matter such questions asked of them such as whether any attorneys will be present or even why such training should be &#8220;in camera&#8221;?</p>
<p>Emails were not returned by the Mayor or council as of press time.</p>
<p>Councilors MacDonald, Murphy, Clement, Dupelle, Gardiner, Thibault have not phoned either.</p>
<p>Of course having such a training session at the same time as the court hearing ( 10AM and open to the public) could be construed as a means for council to avoid having to be present at the proceedings and answering questions from the public or media afterwards?</p>
<p>The city has not offered any defense in their court documents.  They are only asking that the request be dismissed by the court which of course would resolve the issue or bring to public what has really happened and why as some estimates have the cost to taxpayers at over $3,ooo,000 and counting in legal costs, settlements, and litigation since the Glen Stor Dun Lodge story of elder abuse broke over two years ago!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-43177" alt="Jamie Gilcig" src="http://cornwallfreenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/jg2.jpg" width="216" height="216" />CFN</strong> &#8211; Cornwall City Councilor went stumping for some local businesses that are upset that the temporary customs set up here in Cornwall are causing long delays that are impacting local business.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s right.   They are.   Mostly they are inconveniencing the residents of Akwesasne and their businesses as well.  After all where the tolls are now located Cornwallites have to pay two tolls ($6.50 in total) to access businesses in Akwesasne which of course are still in Canada ( depending on whom you ask), as well as events at the Turtle Dome such as Hockey, Lacrosse, and even the International Pow Wow each year.</p>
<p>What has impacted this city of 46,000 has been the relocation of customs and the heavy toll on the illegal cigarette trade that prospered so long here.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not the smugglers so much or even the mom and pops that were selling bags here in Cornwall, usually tripling their small investments; but the average smoker who now has to pay as much for a single package of smokes as a whole bag sometimes cost.  That means much less disposable income for these poor addicts, and most of the cigarette money leaving the local economy where it used to be cycled through the local economy.</p>
<p>Of course there are legal and moral issues; not to mention that fact that cigarettes kill people dead and should be a controlled substance, if even; but purely from an economic standpoint the Harper Government has spent billions fighting ghosts.   The illegal cigarette trade has not dimmed; it&#8217;s simply moved downstream.  It&#8217;s evolved at government expense.</p>
<p>In the interim we&#8217;ve had this dysfunctional set up that won&#8217;t be changing until the new low level bridge has completed.    Most people that look at the situation realize that customs should go right back where it was, and yes, with custom guards armed if that&#8217;s the nationwide policy.</p>

<p>Will that happen?   Only Mr. Harper can answer that question at this point.     Where do you think it should go dear viewers of CFN?  You can vote in our poll and post your comments below.</p>

<p>Ontario Provincial Police News Portal [STORMONT DUNDAS and GLENGARRY] OPP Report Two Long Weekend Fatalities, Numerous Charges Laid 2013-05-22</p>
<div>
<p><b>(ORILLIA, ON) –<a name="13ecc84f1d4b4678_OLE_LINK2"></a><a name="13ecc84f1d4b4678_OLE_LINK1"></a> </b>The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) kept very busy over the Victoria Day Long Weekend, ensuring that people were keeping safe on roads, waterways and trails throughout the province.</p>
<p>While the numbers are preliminary, over the long weekend, one pedestrian was killed in a motor vehicle collision and one person drowned while canoeing.  Sadly, the pedestrian was a 79 year-old woman who died after being struck by a driver who was reportedly using a hand-held communications device. The drowning victim was reportedly not wearing a personal floatation device (PFD) at the time of the incident.</p>
<p>According to the OPP, these two fatalities are harsh reminders of the dangers associated with driving while distracted, the importance of wearing a PFD and how completely preventable these tragedies were.</p>
<p>Even one loss of life is one too many but the OPP was relieved to see this number down significantly from last year’s Victoria Day Long Weekend when nine people died in nine separate motor vehicle collisions on OPP-patrolled roads and highways.</p>
<p>Over the long weekend, the OPP laid 8,289 speeding charges, 330 distracted driving charges, 112 alcohol and/or drug impaired driving charges and 826 seat belt charges.  The OPP also issued 108 <a href="http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/driver/handbook/section4.8.7.shtml" target="_blank">Warn Range</a> suspensions to those whose Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) was in the .05 to .08 range.</p>
<p>OPP officers were also busy doing their part to support Canada Road Safety Week, a national campaign that ran from May 13 to May 20, 2013. As part of this heightened enforcement campaign, officers were on close watch for motorists who drove aggressively, distracted or impaired, and drivers and passengers who were not wearing seat belts.</p>
<p>During the week-long campaign, OPP officers laid more than 15,000 charges which included 12,155 speeding charges, 104 street racing charges, 778 distracted driving charges, 141 impaired driving charges, 1,237 seat belt charges and other charges under the Criminal Code of Canada and Highway Traffic Act.</p>
