A busy Sunday ahead at Cornwall Motor Speedway with 6 feature races planned on the schedule as the Sportsman will have double feature with the June 23^rd being completed, Modifieds, Pro-Stock, Semi-Pro and Mini-Stock will also be on the racing night sponsored by Cayer Motor Sales.

A great battle between two drivers should decide the point’s title in the Jiffy Auto Services Modified category as Luke Whitteker leads the way with 394 points, only ten points in front of veteran Mario Clair who decided to run Cornwall this season. Local runner Brian McDonald is having a nice season holding on third over Chris Raabe and Stephane Lafrance completes the top 5. A few drivers are knocking at the door for a place in the top 5 as Kayle Robidoux and Kyle Dingwall are less than 6 points from Lafrance. A 30-lap affair is schedule for Sunday.

An important night for the Storm Realty Tracy Wheeler Sportsman as two 20-lap feature race will be run with the June 23rd feature race being completed. The championship is really close as Chris Herbison and Joey Ladouceur are tied in first with 322 points with last Sunday`s winner, Corey Wheeler getting closer with only 4 points behind the leaders. With 5 events to be done until September, it will be interesting to follow this great battle!

A different scenario in the Alexandria Home Hardware Pro-Stock division as Dave Bissonnette has a 28-point edge over Roch Aubin and 62 on Jocelyn Roy. Bissonnette needs to show is common regularity and the championship should be his, with 4 nights of racing including a 20-lap finale on Sunday, there is a lot of action left in the Pro-Stock ranks.

Seeing little action so far in 2013, the Evans Bus Lines Semi-Pro is returning Sunday with a 15-lap feature. Three drivers are in direct competition for the title as 3-time winner in 2013, Derek Cryderman hold a slim 4-point margin over Kevin Fetterly and 6 points on Steve Billings. Nothing is decided yet as 3 features are left until September.

Being constant, is key to win a championship, Mike Gaucher is a great example, after winning 3 features in a row, he finished far in the field last week and the Baxtrom YIG Mini-Stock championship is now really tight as Gaucher only has a slight 3-point margin over Danny Lefebvre. Rookie contender Marc Reggentin is currently third. A special 25-lap feature is schedule for them on Sunday.

Pit Gates will open at 4:30pm with general admission opening at 5:30pm. The first heat is scheduled for 7pm. General Admission will costs 10$ with children 18 years and under only 2$, seniors 65 and over will be 5$ and Pit Admission will be $23. A really great deal to see 6 features in one night!

CFN – So I went to three musical events in Cornwall this past week at three different venues.   All were under attended.  At least one of the gigs was heavily promoted so the question is “Does Cornwall Ontario support live music?”

While I get that different types of music attract different crowds the three events I caught this week all should have drawn larger crowds especially as two of them were free!

So many complain about a lack of entertainment; but then don’t support live acts when they’re present.   Even Lift Off was a dud this year.

And under inspiring crowds lead to promoters taking less risks and investing less in shows which becomes a circle of doom.

Friday night however a lot of people missed a great show at the Port Theatre which is starting to see a future as a live event venue as film crumbles.

The days of 500 seat movie houses may be over, but the sound in the Port holds a bright future and hopefully the day will be when this amazing venue sees at least 100 days per year of activity.  With the Aultsville Theatre (which the city funds for nearly $100K per year!) having less gigs the Port is the best venue right now for live entertainment available.

It’s amazing to see Holly Woods still hit those high notes and I was so close to the stage that more poor camera mike was a tad overloaded!

Those in attendance left smiling and happy as the enthusiastic crowd shouted at the band after each familiar hit echoed through the 70 year old theatre!

Local 80′s Tribute Band Lost Boyz opened for Toronto the night before they hit Ribfest in Brockville.  The “boyz” did a great job delivering hit after hit to warm up the crowd!

Next up at the Port is a Country tribute to George Jones on August 30th.

 CFN – A busy night of racing at Cornwall Motor Speedway with 6 features race as the Sportsman had double feature and Mini-Stock had a 25-lap feature race on Cayer Motor Sales Night.

The 30-lap Modified Jiffy Auto Services feature saw Marc Therrien took the early lead as Tim O’Brien and Stéphane Lafrance are running in the top 3 as caution came out on lap 5 for Travis Stacey. On the following green, Chris Raabe rocketed into first place from his fourth starting spot and led 3 laps as caution came out as Roger Levesque stopped in the backstretch. Raabe leads the way with O’Brien and Therrien still holding their position with 20 laps in. A few caution slowed the field between laps 20 and 23. A lap 24 restart saw Raabe in the lead with Laurent Ladouceur now third as Mario Clair was running in fourth. Caution came out on lap 26, when the green lights came out, Clair jumped from fourth to second just before Brian McDonald stopped in turn 2 with two laps to go. Raabe led the final circuits to win his second feature of 2013 over Clair and Ladouceur.

In the Alexandria Home Hardware 20-lap, David Seguin was the initial leader but got passed by George Renaud on lap 6, as Jocelyn Roy was able to jump to second at halfway point. A good battle between Renaud and Roy as they ran side by side for several laps, both drivers swapped the lead until Stéphane Lebrun brought the caution with 2 laps to go. Renaud finally got the lead for good winning his first feature this season over Roy and Roch Aubin.

The night started with the makeup feature for the Tracy Wheeler Storm Realty Sportsman Feature of June 23^rd, Corey Winters took the early lead followed by John Mills and Patrice Dumouchel. Jenna David stopped in the backstretch and yellow was out on lap 6. On the restart, John Mills jumped in the lead as Corey Wheeler got to third. Mills built himself a sizeable lead on the field as 3 cars got together on last lap giving us a green-white-checker finish. Mills is able to resist winning his first feature of the season in front of Winters and Chris Herbison.

The regular 20-lap Tracy Wheeler Storm Realty Sportsman Feature saw Bill Mullin in the lead as 2 laps were completed before an accident occurred in the backstretch. Mullin the leader with Robert Delormier and Ryan Stabler making his way to third place with 5 laps completed. Mullin had built himself a good lead on Delormier with only 5 laps to go. Mullin led the final laps to capture his second feature of 2013 over Delormier, Stabler, Mills and Jackson completed the top 5.

The Evans Bus Line Semi-Pro feature was the last race of the evening with a 15-lap event, the lead changed hands several times in the first portion as Derek Cryderman was the leader with 5 laps completed. Cryderman never looked back and won his fourth feature of 2013 in front of Steve Billings and Dave Renaud.

A strong field of 23 cars took the initial green of the special 25-lap Baxtrom YIG Mini-Stock feature. Joel Pilon took the lead as Francis Blanchette was second. Pilon made his into traffic with 8 laps completed as Joe McNicholls was running in third. McNicholls used slower cars to grab the lead in turn 2 on lap 17. The first caution was out on lap 19 as Francis Blanchette got hit in turn 1. On the restart, McNicholls had Justin Desrosiers and Quincy Roberts as dancing partners. McNicholls led the final laps to win the feature over Pilon who made a final attempt on the last lap and Roberts.

Next week, Jim`s Performance Plus will sponsor a full program of racing for Modified, Sportsman, Pro-Stock and Mini-Stock. The SpeedSTR will make their annual trip to the speedway.

CFN – Pink Politics are again raging in the headlines.    This time the cause is the 2014 Winter

Putin

Olympic games in Sochi Russia.   Because of new laws (horrible ones too) passed by Mr. Putin and his government in Russia activists like the witty and talented George Takei are suggesting that the Olympics be moved to Vancouver BC for fears of punitive actions and possible attacks not only on Gay athletes, but simply anyone that supports equality.

And attacks do happen to Gays in Russia LINK

The Olympic organizers are asking for clarification of the new laws which have not met any challenges in any courts as of yet, but do have some punitive and bizarre language in the translations at least.

In the video above Mr. Takei suggested negative effects on the sponsors and big money associated against the Olympics.   Vodka is now being boycotted by many bars and businesses as well.   The push is on to punish Russia for its new law.

The law, originally titled “the law against homosexual propaganda”  was passed Unanimously, 436-0.

Holding a Gay Pride even, asking for equality, or speaking in defense of gay rights can lead to huge fines (over 30K) and other severe penalties.

Even the artistic soul of Russia, St. Petersburg, passed the law regionally.

While Russia has been a hot mess of a country, fighting off a declining population that has wrestled with the death of its communist rule to the wild and wooly changes since and the retrenchment of its Orthodox Church Homosexuality is not something new to Russia or its history.

Famous Gay Russians

While the gay press are Godwinning themselves by trying to connect the dots between the Nuremburg laws and this bizarre mess of legislation I don’t think moving the games is the solution.  I also think that sometimes we have to think about the head space or thought process of the other side.  Why is it that Russia is coming out with such a Draconian law?    Is the Gay community missing out an opportunity to understand what could be triggering this sort of mentality?  Does being gay make you Superman or Superwoman?  Do you have more rights than the hetero world?   Is it about equality or branding?  Is there a political agenda at foot?

In the tradition of Jesse Owens I think the game, although a bit risky, is to attend the games and challenge the laws.

When the Pussy Riot girls were jailed the world spoke.   This is what Russia is.  This is what the people of this country have chosen.  The Olympic committee chose to have the games in Russia.  While boycotting is a legitimate option it fails to put the question on the biggest platform and in front of the largest microphone in the world at a given moment.

Maybe a new patch of support that athletes can wear?   Maybe some of the openly gay athletes that win can say something.

To me it’s not waving a red flag in a big nasty bull’s face; but communicating the masses.    While moving the games to Vancouver may be a great solution for Canada is it really a great solution to the question?

And if any Athletes or those travelling with the games are charged what better time to challenge the law in an International court system under world scrutiny?

No, I think this time George Takei may be wrong.   Maybe we should be asking what William Shatner would do in this situation?

CFN – Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne was in Cornwall Ontario at a local Trucking firm that received funding to help create a few jobs.

It’s the photo junket season with the Preme hopping from town to town pressing the flesh and meeting some of the community.

She had a chance to drive a big red truck too!

Sadly due to some favoritism miscommunication I elected to not wait, and wait, to ask some questions of our Premier.  Some of which were probably pretty darn good too….

Congrats to local firm Minimax Express Cornwall and the Poirier family on their funding!

CFN – What a difference a year makes.  When we started the Beavergate Protest we never expected that the devices placed in the Guindon Nature Park in Cornwall Ontario would have such dramatic results.

Funded fully by Lesley Fox and her Fur Bearer Defenders organization the road to clearer waters and healthier habitat were started by Wyatt Walsh pictured above.

Instead of signs that dogs and small children can’t read there is lush green.   Mr. Walsh had one abortive attempt after contacting the Standard Freeholder go on deaf ears before CFN became active in trying to find a solution.

Our request for a 90 day moratorium on trapping to the City last year resulted in the traps being moved next to the lodge and wiping out the family of beavers lived.

That’s when local activist and musician Rebecca Sorrell entered and then with some media momentum and help from Lesley Fox and her organization oiula!

Even though with near record rainfall the park was not flooded.  Nor did the beavers eat all the trees as some suggested would happen.

 The park has never looked better.

You can see from this video from last year below how much has changed.

Placement of filter system where first traps were!

All we had asked for originally was a moratorium simply to discuss alternatives to trapping.  Sadly it go messy because of closed minds and only when the threat of National humiliation and free implementation did the Kilger regime agree to change.

As a matter of fact OPG (Ontario Power Generation) rep and now retired Linda Haliday actually refused to participate in one group meeting if I was present; that’s how nasty it got to get to this point.

Sad, don’t you think?  Especially when Lawyer and ambitious politician  Bernadette Clement sat on the board of the River Institute at the time.

The River Institute did not assist or help with this project.  There was only one city councilor who showed support, but he chickened out and refused to go public.

The City of Cornwall did not respond for comment to this story.

What do you think the with results to Guindon Park?  Is it time to look at alternatives to trapping?   You can post your comment below.

Cornwall, ON- The Cornwall Community Police Service have received reports of  individuals identifying themselves as government employees needing to gain access into residences to confirm their furnaces are in compliance. These individuals can be persuasive and sometimes forceful claiming “it’s the law you need to let us in”. If you are pressured to make a big purchase decision or an immediate decision, it’s probably not a legitimate deal. Real businesses or charities will give you a chance to check them out or think about it.

The Cornwall Community Police Service wishes to remind residence never give out any personal information in person, over the telephone or the internet without researching and confirming who you are talking to.

Mayor Bryan McGillis of South Stormont

CFN- South Stormont Township has made a pitch to R.W. Tomlinson for them to locate a Concrete plant that was rejected by Brockville Ontario on a property that they feel would meet the company’s criteria and is already zoned appropriately.

concrete plant 

South Stormont is always focused on bringing strong economic development to our growing community.

In talking with Mayor McGillis he shared that South Stormont had some choice locations for growth and expansion.

The plant and the approximately 40 jobs that would come with it don’t seem to be exciting to Cornwall Economic Development officer Mark Boileau according to media reports.

The Tomlinson Group applied to have a 44 acre parcel in Brockville rezoned, but was met with community activism in rejecting the proposal which ideally would be near or on the waterfront.

Ralph Tomlinson founded R.W. Tomlinson Cartage in 1952 with one single-axle dump truck. Incorporated as R.W. Tomlinson Limited in 1969, the company is now a prominent player in quarrying, construction, trucking and environmental industries, with a large fleet of company-owned vehicles in Eastern Canada.

CFN – It looks like the city of Cornwall Ontario may have set a record with 28 recommendations that will be reviewed at City Council tonight.

LINK TO RECOMENDATIONS

Full

The Ontario Fire Marshall’s office has completed a review of the Cornwall Fire Service making twenty-eight recommendations that will be presented to Cornwall City Council tonight. The review identifies issues in the delivery of Fire Prevention responsibilities in addition to important health and safety issues for Cornwall’s residents.  The review concludes, in part:

 

“This review has determined that the City of Cornwall is not meeting minimum legislated requirements. It identifies inconsistencies and deficiencies in the delivery of fire protection services in the City of Cornwall.” It goes on to state: “Reducing or eliminating deficiencies will improve the safety of the public and front line fire service personnel, and may reduce municipal liability.”

 

Cornwall Professional Fire Fighters Association President Bruce Donig said his members fully endorse the review’s conclusions. “The review makes clear what fire fighters in Cornwall have been saying for years, there are significant public and fire fighter safety issues in the Cornwall Fire Service that need to be addressed”

 

Donig went on to say “We are encouraged that the report concludes that fire fighters require more training, we have been asking for more training for years.  Imagine a workplace where the employees want more training but don’t receive it from their employer.”

 

President Donig concludes, “I encourage Council to endorse the review, we need to focus on these problems and deliver the fire service that the residents of Cornwall expect, and are paying for. The Cornwall Fire Service fails to meet the requirements of Council’s own Bylaws – there is extensive work to be done.”

 

This review has determined that the City of Cornwall is not meeting minimum legislated requirements.   It identifies inconsistencies and deficiencies in the delivery of fire protection services in the City of Cornwall.

Provincial Leadership Co-Chair Bernadette Clement with Riding President James Borer

CFN - Local political buzz in Cornwall is whether all things are well in the Provincial Liberal riding association camp after none of the local Grit VIP’s were in attendance for Premier Kathleen Wynne’s visits to the River City including last candidate Mark A MacDonald or former MPP Jim Brownell.

Arrogance of this sort should never be tolerated in a truly democratic society.  

After Mr. Brownell retired the seat was won by current Conservative MPP Jim McDonell.

CFN – Ingleside Ontario resident Melanie Whitford had quite the shock as she was driving.   Near the corner of Upper Canada campground road and church road in Morrisburg she came across Momma Bear and her cub crossing the road.

CFN – Oy, what is it with Coronation Street and propping up the gargantuan feet of actress Sue Cleaver who plays Eileen Grimshaw on Coronation Street?  What?  What is it!!   It’s as mysterious as the secret to how they put the caramel in the Cadbury chocolate bars or why there are no Jewish characters on the long running English soap?

I mean look at the picture.  Those tootsies are larger than Simon Gregson’s (Steve MacDonald’s) bloody head!    Do the producers get a lot of fan mail from large foot fetishists or are some of the writers getting freaky seeing as they are struggling plot wise of late?

Frankly as someone that’s been watching Corrie since the 70′s it’s getting a bit rank.   Pancreatic cancer, wheelchair mommies and their surrogate delivered babies, the who’s got the biggest boobs thing, racism in 2013, .   It’s getting a bit….boring.

Is Corrie in a rut? Is it the cast? The writers?

Coronation Street has been an institution now for generations and has always had its ups and downs, but frankly it’s becoming far too PC at every level.   The cheeky hidden “gay”  kitch to the show is now out of the closet and in your face.    The quirky characters becoming depressing; the older ones getting sick or dying and not having their voids filled.

What is going on in Corrieland?

The whole Stella and her family thing can go.    The Hailey dying of pancreatic cancer has some hope if they don’t drag it on too long as Roy can now get it on with Mary to form the weirdest yet somehow warmest couple ever on TV and that relationship should be a rich mine for the writing staff and actors.

All the villains on the show seem to have become saintly or lame.  Tracy Barlow?  Really actress Kate Ford seems lost as they have her looking more dumb than conniving.   Alison King as Carla (or Cruella)  is becoming a slightly drunken saint instead of the nasty biotch she plays best.   Actually a big part of the problem on Corrie is the female characters/arch types don’t play well right now.  Maybe they need to shake up the writing staff or take a step or two back and see what they’re doing with them.

I miss Fred Elliot (John Savident) Great Gail & Eileen scrap.

We need more character types.   When Corrie decided to bring in more young characters they lost a lot of character and quirkiness.

They need that back.  They need something.    While addicted loyal fans wither on and watch secretly I’m sure we all crave for some old fashioned Corrie fun.

Liz MacDonald coming back should help and hopefully Bill Roache and Michael La Vell don’t end up in prison (both are up on charges of playing with under aged girls) and add some stability to the show.  We need Jim MacDonald back punching just about anyone nearby!

We fans need more than big boobs and disease.  We need that Corrie magic back.  We need garden gnomes and Norris being afraid of vaginas.   We need Platt family Christmas explosions.   We need strange Dickenson characters salted in for bits of fun.  We need a new Jack & Vera.

Or I’m completely wrong and the big boob and diseased thingy is working.

One of my fave scenes of recent vintage.   Do you miss Jack & Vera too?

And please get rid of the chick in the wheelchair and her whole family too, except maybe her sister with the …..

Coronation Street is seen here in Canada on CBC including online!

CFN – Is history repeating itself? I would bet Prime Minister Harper certainly hopes it doesn’t, at least not while he is the Prime Minister.

Back in February of 2004, then Auditor General Sheila Fraser brought in a report that kicked off what would eventually become known as the sponsorship scandal. The negative press coverage this generated for the Liberals led to first a minority Liberal government in 2005, which was followed by a Conservative minority government in February 2006. Much of the Conservative success under Harper was due to the public perception that the Liberal Party misused taxpayer’s dollars and that it had become scandal plagued.

This view of the Liberal Party didn’t happen overnight. It took time to develop; as a matter of fact it took 21 months from Fraser’s report until the Paul Martin minority government of 2005. Throughout that time period there was a steady stream of negative stories that were just sensational enough that they caught the attention of the public in a way that most political stories never do.

Harper has to be concerned that the on-going Senate scandal doesn’t cause history to repeat itself. Twenty-one months is a long time in politics, but under his leadership the Conservatives were able to keep Liberal scandals front and center and on the minds of the voters.

This time around the names are different, there are also different allegations of spending abuse, but the public appears to be as equally fascinated with this Senate scandal as they were with the sponsorship scandal from 2004-2006.

Paul Martin was faced with the revelations of not only Sheila Fraser, but the subsequent Gomery inquiry, especially the first Gomery report in 2005. Harper doesn’t have to face anything as damning, but he has had two audits by Deloitte on his Conservative appointees to the Senate (Wallin and Duffy) and fortunately for the Prime Minister one on Liberal senator Mac Harb, all of which have served to keep both the media and the public focused on this issue.

The ongoing RCMP investigation into the Nigel Wright cheque that was given to Senator Duffy plus the potential for further RCMP involvement into allegations  around Senator Wallin, means this story and the Senate scandal have the potential to drag on for many more months. All of which spells negative coverage for the Prime Minister and the Conservative Party.

If charges are laid and court proceedings begin, most of this will occur over the next year or longer. This has the potential to drag the negative coverage out from February 2013 to sometime in late 2014 if not 2015, the next election year. In other words the Senate scandal has the potential to unfold over a somewhat similar time frame to the sponsorship scandal.

The sponsorship scandal helped to cement in the public’s mind that Harper wanted to change the way things were done in Ottawa and that he wanted to do things differently. This is similar to what the present Liberal leader is promising to do and Mulcair is also trying to convey a similar message to the voters. It remains to be seen if either of them can be as successful as Harper was back in 2004-2006.

How Harper handles himself and this issue may just possibly determine the fate of his government when the next election campaign begins. A day is a long time in politics, never mind 21 months or a couple of years, but with this file Harper can’t think short term, he has to keep his eye on the next election as voters have shown him that they can have long memories.

Bob “Vienna Sausage” Peters

CFN – In light of the footloose five who were allegedly fired by the city of Cornwall we did a little sniffing.   While the city is still under it’s own leaky Cone of Silence questions are being asked now about all staff who potentially could have “stolen time” from the city.

Should Bob Peters of Economic Development be fired for working on this banner  below and other activities during Mayor Kilger’s re-election campaign on City time?

Former Clerk Denise Labelle-Gelinas had this on her Facebook status.    During the election there were other allegations of City Staff acting on behalf of the mayor on City Time as well.

The city is still refusing to disclose to the public what this messy waste of tax dollars is about. They are not being accountable nor replying to emails or answering media calls in a timely fashion.

Retired CAO & Clerk Paul Fitzpatrick & Denise Labelle Gelinas with Mayor Kilger on Election night.

It appears that the replacements of Paul Fitzpatrick & our clerk by Norm Levac and Helen Finn may simply be a change of the face, but not a change of how things have been done.

And what of the Mayor himself?  Would someone like to check his attendance record during this and last term at committee meetings for the city?

While he recently had time to sit in on a new Waterfront condo development (on the former Domtar lands) and personally walked through with inspectors for the Truffles Burger Bar patio application (which was expedited) has the Mayor himself been giving the city value for the time he himself has spent?   Does breakfast at Napoleon’s count as time spent on the job?

Should every city paid employee or contractor be monitored?   The truth needs to come out about not only what happened to the five, but more importantly the process.   Were they arbitrarily or unfairly fired?  Were they treated differently than other staff?   The public deserve answers.
