Le Gala du Méritas à l’École secondaire catholique l’Escale "$56"- * 54 r /&84 Le Gala duMéritas a eu lieu le 1er juin dernier à la Salle de spectacles Optimiste à Rockland. L’événement visait à souligner les triomphes des étudiants et étudiantes de l’École secondaire catholique L’Escale. « Je tiens à vous rappeler que c’est en grande partie grâce aux élèves suivants que L’Escale a pu remplir sa mission d’une école catholique de langue et de culture françaises, a expliqué le directeur de l’école, Denis Tardif. Pour mériter cette reconnaissance ultime, les élèves ont dû répondre à plusieurs critères durant l’année : un engagement hors de l’ordinaire, des valeurs soutenues ainsi qu’un leadership rassembleur.»

Final environmental report on 17/174 expansion
GREGG CHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca
The final report is out on the environmental feasibility of upgrading the highway link between Rockland andOrleans to four-lane status. Residents, who still have comments about either the proposed “best option” in the report or the project overall, still have until the end of June to get their feedback in to the consultants and all three levels of government. The environmental assessment report (EA) is now available for final public review on the proposed future four-laning of County Road 17 andHighway 174, as far as the Trim Road intersection in Orleans. AECOM, the consultant firm hired to do the EA, has made the report available online and hard copies are available for reading at the United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) office in L’Orignal, and city hall in both Clarence-Rockland and the City of Ottawa. Marc Clermont, UCPR public works di- rector, noted that while the EA report now available is considered the final version, provincial legislation still requires a 30-day public review period during which objec- tions may be filed on either the report as a whole or parts of it. There is no guarantee that an objection would result in further study for another revised EA report. “I am glad to see it (EA) finished, and
Several sections of County Road 17 through Rocklandwill undergo extensive changes, when the route undergoes four-lane expansion, sometime in the future. This graphic is one of several included in a final report on the environmental assessment on the proposed expansion. —submitted photo
hopefully we won’t see any objections,” said Clermont. “After that, it’ll be a matter of financing.” When the issue of expanding the 174/17 link between Rockland and Orleans began getting serious consideration from the pro- vincial and federal governments, close to a decade ago, both the then-Harper Conser- vative and the McGuinty Liberal govern- ments promised to allocate $40million each
towards the projected costs, then, of upgra- ding the route to four-lane status. There were assurances several times since then fromboth federal and provincial representatives for the Glengarry-Prescott- Russell riding that the money remained as part of senior government treasury depart- ment allocations. But Clermont would like more than ver- bal assurances that the promised funds are
still there. He also noted that the potential cost for the four-laning may be more now than the original estimates when the $80 million in federal/provincial cost-sharing was promised. Clermont has left messages with both Ottawa and Queen’s Park about the pro- mised funds but not received any reply yet. “I’d like to see some kind of letter from a minister saying it is there,” he said.

Farmers rally on The Hill has support from Prescott-Russell
GREGG CHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca
Local farmers joined counterparts from Quebec and elsewhere, Thursday mor- ning, for a gathering at Parliament Hill. They met with their Québec counterparts for a protest rally against international trade policies that they claim threaten their livelihood. The June 2 gathering was the second far- mers’ protest rally onThe Hill, aimed at both creating greater public awareness of the problems farmers face against internatio- nal competition for the home market, and also pressing the new Liberal government to protect Canada’s dairy industry against dumping of Americanmilk products into the homemarketplace through trade agreement loopholes. “To Justin Trudeau: Put on your boxing gloves and defend us from the U.S.A. and support your Canadian farmers,” stated Chris Ryan, a St-Isidore dairy farmer, during inter- views with regional and national media. Ryan and other dairy farmers in both Eastern Ontario and Western Québec are pressing for tougher policies on cross-border trade, including a halt to imports of diafil- tered milk. Diafiltered milk is a powdered protein product used in making cheese and other dairy products. Imports from the U.S. are allowed in duty-free because they are not considered “real milk” under the terms of the current Canada-U.S. trade agreements. Glengarry-Prescott-Russell Liberal MP Francis Drouin spent more than an hour tal- king with local farmers at the rally before he had to go inside for Question Period. During a later phone interview, Drouin reaffirmed his election campaign promise of support for the supply management policy meant to protect Canadian agriculture against un-
MP Francis Drouin talks with some of the farmers, fromhis ownGlengarry-Prescott-Russell riding and other parts of EasternOntario, who drove their tractors to Ottawa, on June 2, to join their Québec counterparts in themost recent farmers’ rally on Parliament Hill, to lobby for protection of Canadian farm products against foreign imports. —submitted photo
fair competition. He noted that the farming sector needs to keep reminding the federal government of its concerns. “If we don’t keep the (lobby) pressure on,” said Drouin, “then it’s another lobby sector which will keep pressure on.” The MP also noted that while diafiltered milk imports are legal under the terms of the current trade agreements, the Cana- dian dairy industry could compete better against the U.S. imports if it received help with upgrading aging equipment. “That’s what I’mfighting for,” Drouin said, “to get the processing money.”
Mayors of rural municipalities in Pres- cott-Russell expressed support for farmers who took part in last week’s rally and also for all farmers in their areas, working in the produce or dairy sectors. “I support local farmers,” said Mayor François St-Amour of The NationMunicipality, adding that the U.S. dairy industry should respect its Canadian counterpart. “It’s tougher and tougher for farmers, for all their efforts, to get fair prices,” saidMayor Gary Barton of Champlain Township, which includes the Vankleek Hill area. “I don’t think we should be opening our borders to
let anyone ship milk here.” “The agricultural policies are ruining the rural areas,” saidMayor Robert Kirby of East Hawkesbury Township, himself a working farmer with a mixed dairy/cash crop ope- ration. “There are nomore incentives. We’re all losing money. If Canadians want their farmers to survive, they’d better look at the situation pretty quickly.” “I think the government should be very careful about what they do,” saidMayor Guy Desjardins of Clarence-Rockland. “We’ve got a top-quality product and I don’t see why the government is playing around with that.”

are in frail health,” Leclair said, adding that themedical transport service often involves taking a client to clinics or appointments with specialists in either Ottawa or Montréal. Drivers do receive a small remuneration based on mileage to help cover some of their own expense with using their vehicle. All of the mayors on council agreed that the agency’s expense situation should get consideration during discussions later this year for the 2017 counties budget. Mayors Gary Barton of Champlain Township and François St-Amour of The NationMunicipality suggested that counties council consider allocating a further $5,000 in the budget for PRCS. “The service is a very good service,” said Mayor Barton, “and we use it a lot in my area.” “I think they (PRCS) could use the $5,000 to go ahead with all their planning,” said St-Amour. Leclair emphasized that PRCS was not asking for any further allocations in the counties current budget. Stéphane Parisien, UCPR chief administrator, also reminded the mayors that the UCPR has designated $30,000 in the 2016 budget towards assisting the agency with covering an additional ope- ration expense with hiring of a new staffer. “My recommendation is that we look at this (funding support) in the 2017 budget,” Parisien said, adding that PRCS has always provided detailed audited information on its operations when it does present the UCPR with a funding support request.
choose. Buyers can also choose the always popular Foxwood Collection.

A new Town Centre with retail shops, a Community Centre and a beautiful new Marina are all proposed items for the master- planned community. A future Pedestrian Bridge over Clarence Creek will also link future existing villages of the community. The first village will also see the opening of the new pathways. An abundance of city amenities are just minutes away from the community, including local grocery and drug stores, parks and schools, as well as numerous recreational facilities including the Outaouais Golf Club and the Canadian International Hockey Academy. eQ Homes are built to enrich your life.

birds chirping in the nearby woods, the sound of rushing water, and the tranquility that most of us only find in cottage living. Now, with eQ’s anticipated release of their newest and most exciting development, Clarence Crossing in Rockland, your dreams can become a reality. The first village is almost complete and is selling out fast. Occupancy is expected for sometime this summer. With the ever growing urban intensification in the downtown core, many families and retirees are heading outside of the city’s centre for a more serene lifestyle – one that incorporates all the major amenities with your own personal oasis. Clarence Crossing is the lifestyle community in Rockland that so many people have been waiting for. These beautifully designed homes are surrounded by nature and embraced by Clarence Creek and The Ottawa River. Spectacular scenery, first- class social and recreational amenities, and pathways gently winding through the community are all in your backyard. June 4th and 5th marked the grand opening of three new models at Clarence Crossing. The Alexander is a 50’ single- family bungalow home with 1848 sq.ft. of living space with an optional sunroom. The Dumont, a 42’ single-family bungalow, offers a spacious 2020 sq.ft. of living space including the optional finished rec room in the basement. Lastly, the Augusta is an attached bungalow with 1418 sq.ft. with an optional sunroom. All three models include spacious master bedrooms with walk-in closets and the option for an ensuite bathroom. The open- concept designs come with a breakfast bar and modern finishes throughout. Clarence Crossing is only a short drive from the city and offers homes at a significantly lower price than the city suburbs. The Foxwood collection condos start as low as $297,900; the attached bungalows start at $286,900, and the single-family bungalows start at $379,900. By moving out of the city, buyers get the space but save thousands on the purchase price. The celebration continues throughout the month of June, which means buyers can take advantage of some spectacular incentives. Buyers of the single-family models will receive $25,000 to spend in the décor centre or the money can be put toward the cost of the house. Buyers of condos will receive $10,000 and the townhomes will receive $15,000. The money can all be spent in one place, or you can split it up as you
Themayors on counties council are willing to consider some extra financial support for a regional non-profit agency which helps support shut-ins and others in Prescott- Russell. The question is whether or not there is any wiggle room available in the current counties budget or if the matter has to wait until talks begin for next year’s budget. Sylvie Leclair, executive director for Pres- cott-Russell Community Services (PRCS), provided the United Counties of Prescott- Russell (UCPR) council with a verbal sum- mary report May 25 on the non-profit social service agency’s extensive support programs and services for residents in the region.The UCPR 2016 budget features an allocation of $30,000 extra to assist PRCS this year with an increase in its own operations budget through hiring of an extra staff member. Leclair cited the PRCS Meals on Wheels andmedical transport programs as examples of the growing demand for the agency’s va- rious services. Both programs depend on volunteer drivers to either deliver prepared healthy meals to clients who are shut-ins or to provide a shuttle service to medical appointments for people who do not have their own vehicle, may not have family who can drive them to their appointments, and may be on a fixed income and unable to afford the cost of a taxi. “These (services) are often for people who

Inaugural honours ceremony for P-R paramedics

They are often the first face someone in- volved in an accident or othermedical cri- sis will see. Prescott-Russell’s paramedics are always on the job and ready to respond to an emergency and now there will be an annual ceremony to highlight and honour individual members of the service for their years of dedication. The Prescott-Russell Paramedics Deco- ration Ceremony, the first of what will be- come an annual event, took place May 24 in Hawkesbury. This year, officials for the United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) gathered to pay tribute to 20 members of the regional paramedics department for 42, 32, and 22 years of service. The decoration itself, by tradition, is presented to amember of the unit after the person’s first 12 years of service, with follow-up award presentations for individuals every 10 years after. “In order to celebrate National Parame- dic Week, which took place this year from May 22 to 28,” statedMichel Chrétien, UCPR emergency services director, “we wished to recognize the service of 20 paramedics that, combined, is equivalent to more than 600 years of service.” “I wish to congratulate all the paramedics for the relentless duties that they perform every day in order to help our residents in their most vulnerable moments,” stated Mayor Pierre Leroux of Russell Township, chairman for the UCPR emergency services committee. “Their service and dedication, as well as their constant presence in our community, makes Prescott and Russell one of the greatest places to live.” The original presentation procedure for the paramedics’ service decoration is taken from the Canadian Armed Forces as set down in 1949. Topping the list for the inau- gural PR Paramedics Decoration Ceremony is Paul Labelle with 46 years of dedication
as a paramedic for the region. He began his career with the Noel Ambulance Service in 1969 and continued on with that agency and then the Prescott-Russell regional service until his retirement in December 2015. Also receiving honours for 32 or more years of service were: Daniel Cyrill Ville- neuve (40 years), Raymond Groleau (39 years), Gilles Lacroix (37 years), Michel Chrétien Jr. (35 years), Jeff Warnock (33 years), Louis Rathier (32 years), Daniel Le- duc (32 years), Stéphane Huppé (32 years), and Yvon Leclair (32 years). Honoured for 22 or more years of service were: André Jean (31 years), Daniel Lacelles (31 years), Sylvain Pelletier (30 years), Denis Dalrymple (29 years), Sylvain Veilleux (29 years), Patrice Brennan (28 years), Yves Lari- vière (28 years), Nancy Leduc (28 years), Claude Meloche (27 years), Alfred Baaklini (27 years), Mathieu Berthiaume (27 years), Marc-André Périard (26 years), Christophe Serano (26 years), Mario Périard (24 years), and Martin Gascon (24 years). The OPP are worried that boaters are not getting the message about a simple boating safety technique. So far in Ontario, there have been eight boating fatalities where failure to wear a lifejacket was credited as the main reason for someone dying. Alcohol was the other contributing factor in all but one of the six known fatal boating incidents in this year’s OPP files. The number of boating fatalities so far this year in Ontario is three times that for the same period in 2015.The incidents range from kayaking or canoeing trips where the victim fell out of the craft or it capsized to personal water craft where the rider fell off the speeding vehicle. One incident involved a small outboard boat that was overloaded, ended up swamped and went under. – Gregg Chamberlain Wear lifejackets when boating, urge police

« Venez, venez tous voir le plus grandiose des petits spectacles sur terre! Nous avons des clowns fous, des acrobates incroyables, des animaux sauvages et même un maître magicien qui vous enchantera et vous donnera des frissons tout en vous divertissant. » Les élèves de la classe de maternelle de l’École élémentaire catholique Sainte-Félicité de Clarence Creek ont mis sur pied leur propremini cirque dans le gymnase de l’école, pour le plus grand plaisir d’une foule composée de leurs camarades étudiants, des parents et du personnel scolaire. L’événement du jeudi après-midi 2 juin était un projet de collecte de fonds, par la classe, au profit de l’Hôpital pour enfants de l’Est de l’Ontario. —photos Gregg Chamberlain

Trois réalités, un décor
VÉRONIQUE CHARRON veronique.charron@eap.on.ca
Le spectacle Chalets à louer , présenté par les élèves de 11 e et 12 e année de l’École secondaire catholique L’Escale, le 31 mai dernier à la Salle optimiste de Rockland, a reçu un accueil chaleureux de la part de son public. Écrit entièrement par les étudiants, ce spectacle, d’une durée d’un peu plus d’une heure, transporte les spectateurs dans trois mondes totalement différents. Les jeunes se sont inspirés des différents stéréotypes qu’ont les adolescents dans la vie de tous les jours et de leur réalité pour écrire leur pièce de théâtre. Les rideaux s’ouvrent sur l’intérieur d’un chalet simpliste. Arrive alors la famille Bap- tis. Religieuses du bout des orteils au haut de leur bonnet, les cinq femmes espèrent profiter d’une fin de semaine sans homme, elles qui les détestent purement et simple- ment. Mais au sein de cette famille, la jeune
La joie et la fierté étaient lisibles sur les visages des jeunes, à la suite de leur représentation. Sur la photo, les étudiants du spectacle Chalets à louer , ainsi que leur professeur Brian St-Pierre. —photo Véronique Charron
Becka (Virginie Lacroix) ne comprend pas cette haine envers la gent masculine. Ce qui crée, bien entendu, la discorde au sein du groupe. Les lumières se ferment, annonçant un changement de scène. Toujours sur lemême fond de décor, la salle se retrouve subitement au sein d’une fête d’ados, où se retrouvent tous les stéréotypes. S’amuser n’est cepen- dant pas évident lorsque le père de l’hôtesse a comme mot d’ordre de les surveiller. La scène se termine au son de coups de feu. Le public se prépare alors à rencontrer la famille Courouge. À l’opposé de la famille Baptis, les Courouge prennent plutôt l’allure de rednecks sortis tout droit du fin fond des bois, sauf Junior (Michael Lemire), qui n’en peut plus de l’attitude négligente de sa famille. Le jeune homme, dont l’allure soignée contraste avec les chemises à car- reaux et les pantalons sales de ses sœurs et de ses grands-parents, n’espère qu’une chose : avoir un environnement structuré. Mais voilà, il n’est pas facile de discuter avec
une famille qui ne pense qu’à chasser et à se tirailler. Le temps de la scène finale arrive, où Becka et Junior se retrouvent à la fête, dans un chalet voisin. Les deux adolescents dé- couvrent qu’il est possible de trouver un juste milieu entre chacune de leurs existences, et ce, en étant ensemble. Cette pièce de théâtre, qui misait sur la légèreté et le divertissement pour tous, a fait mouche chez le public. Les éclats de rire étaient au rendez-vous. Les répliques humoristiques des comédiens étaient par- fois subtiles, parfois directes, ce qui a plu aux gens dans la salle. En plus du spectacle, les gens ont égale- ment eu droit à une première partie, présen- tée par des élèves de 10 e année. Ces derniers ont présenté des extraits de Les murs de nos villages , écrit en 1980 par Jean Marc Dalpé. Les élèves ont également présenté quelques extraits qu’ils ont eux-mêmes écrits. Ils avaient comme défi de représenter ce que serait Les murs de nos villages aujourd’hui.
