Blood donor clinic Correction In an article entitled Blood drive at VCI, published in our November 27 edition, we erroneously wrote that the next blood donor clinic will be held in Hawkesbury at École secondaire catholique régionale de Hawkesbury on January 14. The clinic will be held in Hawkesbury at The Robert Hartley Sports Complex, 425 Cartier Boulevard, on January 14, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
ATV re-route report pending The ATV Club of Eastern Ontario wants to increase the number of user trails in the Larose Forest to allow riders route access to the Hamlet of Cheney in Clarence-Rockland and bypass the Clarence-Cambridge Road which runs through the community forest. The United Counties of Prescott-Russell is responsible for managing the community forest and Planning Director Louis Prévost will present counties planning and forestry advisory committee with a detailed report on the club’s proposal with his own recommendations. He has indicated during the committee’s Aug. 26 meeting brief that he would rather see the club make better use of an existing road allowance route already available in the forest. – Gregg Chamberlain Support for rape trauma aid project The Hawkesbury & District General Hospital is seeking financial aid from the province for a special trauma treatment service for victims of sexual assault, and it has the full support of the United Counties of Prescott-Russell council behind its effort. In a letter to counties council giving a brief outline of the project, hospital administration noted that the OPP statistics on sexual assault and related crimes for 2014 in the Prescott-Russell region listed 104 cases for the year, and the 2015 statistics to date are almost a match with 107 cases filed as of mid-November. Dr. Suzanne Filion, director for the hospital’s strategic and integrated program development, noted the statistics sup- port a pressing need for a comprehensive sexual trauma treatment unit that would be part of the hospital’s emergency department operations. The proposed centre would accommodate up to at least 80 victims of sexual assaultHospital administration is applying to the province for $250,000 in annual funding for a three-year term for the project. Counties council voted unanimous support for the hospital’s project during its Nov. 25 session. – Gregg Chamberlain
Following several complaints from residents on Stevens Street, Public Works Superintendant Alain Lavoie recommended reducing the speed on Stevens Street during construction at the Hawkesbury General Hospital, as well as amending the current traffic by-law. Town council agreed to temporarily amend the traffic by-law and reduce the speed limit on Stevens Street between Ghislain and Gerard streets from 50 km/h to 40 km/h.
