Une maison familiale est la proie des flammes
MARTIN BRUNETTE martin.brunette@eap.on.ca
CLARENCE | Une famille de Clarence- Rockland se retrouve sans domicile après qu’un incendie ait complètement détruit leur résidence, située sur le chemin de La Vieille 17, le 5 janvier dernier. La famille a été réveillée vers 1 h du matin après avoir senti une odeur de fumée. Les pompiers ont vite répondu à l’appel alors que les résidents Debbie Kelly, Carey Howse et leurs deux enfants âgés de 10 et 14 ans se trouvaient sains et saufs à l’extérieur, le tout dans une température glaciale. Les pompiers ont finalement maîtrisé le brasier vers 6 h, mais, malgré leurs efforts louables, les flammes n’ont pas épargné la maison. L’incendie se serait déclaré dans le sous- sol. Au moment de mettre sous presse, la cause de l’incendie n’était pas connue. Un voisin, Ben Pelletier, connaît la famille depuis près de sept ans. « C’est un événement qui brusque la famille et qui touche également la communauté. On ne s’attend jamais vraiment à vivre ce genre d’événement là. Mais lorsque ça se produit, on fait tout ce qu’on peut pour aider. Durant le week-end, les gens circulaient près des décombres et c’est là qu’on réalise comment une vie peut être bouleversée rapidement ». M. Pelletier a bien voulu accueillir ses voisins pour passer la nuit. Le couple et les enfants sont actuellement hébergés chez de la famille proche. On s’affaire actuellement à la mise sur pied d’un fonds d’aide pour la famille.

Kathleen Wynne seeks two jobs as premier GREGGCHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca
“Because I have heard a number of con- cerns,” Wynne said, referring to her cam- paign travels through Ontario’s rural sec- tors. “I need to listen very closely to the agricultural sector.” Quizzed about whether she would review and consider revising the current farm tax setup that is a financial thorn in the side of many municipal and county governments, Wynne said that is an issue that both the agriculture and municipal affairs ministries could work on together. During her past years in the Dalton Mc- Guinty Liberal government Wynne has held the posts of education minister, transporta-
ROCKLAND | Council has appointed Gilles Maranda as the newDirector of Infrastruc- ture and Engineering Services for the City of Clarence-Rockland. Maranda has held several executive po- sitions at the Department of National De- fence and possesses an MBA and a BA in Engineering from the Military College in Kingston. A Clarence-Rockland resident, Maranda has participated in numerous in- ternational missions with the Royal Cana- dian Navy. “I would like to welcome Mr. Maranda within our team” said Mayor Marcel Gui- bord. “Our municipality is growing and his experience in management and engineer- ing will definitely be an asset.” City hires new infrastructure director The Ontario Liberal leadership conven- tion is Jan. 26 in Toronto. Wynne expressed confidence that she is one of the strong contenders among the seven candidates. “I’ve got a shot at it,” she said. “What we need now is a premier who can reach out and bring the people together.” VISION@EAP.ON.CA PRESCOTT-RUSSELL tion minister, municipal affairs and housing, and aboriginal affairs. She expressed satisfaction with a recent government promise to abolish Bill 115, which has resulted in strikes and other forms of protest from teacher and support unions in the education sector. “I’m glad Bill 115 will be repealed,” she said. “It’s a high priority of mine to bring all the (education) partners together and work together.” During the teleconference, Wynne high- lighted her strategy for increasing local au- tonomy for municipal and county councils along with maintaining investment in local infrastructure improvements and dealing with both regional and community trans- portation needs along with calling on the federal government to develop a national transit strategy that includes investment in community transportation. “I want to make sure our municipalities, our cities, our towns have the tools and the infrastructure that allow them to flourish,” Wynne said. “We (Ontario Liberal) have a great record as a government of investing in roads and bridges and public transit.” Concerning municipal autonomy, Wynne cited the Green Energy Act as an example of past legislation from her own govern- ment that focused on one concern at the expense of local government control over neighbourhood development. The legisla- tion allowed the province to overrule or circumvent local planning and zoning pro- cedure to help fast-track development of solar farms, wind farms and other “green” energy projects. Wynne recognized that the legislation has created some ill will among councils in both the urban and rural sectors and indicated that she would like to re-visit the Green Energy Act. “We need to make sure we have willing partners,” she said. “I’m not sure we got it right the first time.”
If Kathleen Wynne succeeds in winning the majority support at the Ontario Lib- eral leadership convention she plans on holding down two jobs after taking her oath of office. Wynne told regional media during a Jan. 3 teleconference that she will not just be the new premier of Ontario, but also its ag- riculture minister. At least for about a year’s time.

Des discussions avant de jeter le pont, dit Kathleen Wynne
d’y arriver c’est en ayant tout le monde à la table », a confié Mme Wynne, ex- ministre des Transports de l’Ontario. Le projet de la Commission de la Capitale nationale d’un nouveau pont qui relierait les deux provinces continue de faire couler beaucoup d’encre. Actuellement, trois scénarios sont à l’étude. Le scénario qui semble le plus probable est celui de l’île Kettle, qui relierait le boulevard de la Montée Paiement à Gatineau à la Promenade de l’Aviation à Ottawa. Plusieurs résidents et politiciens ont manifesté leur opposition à ce projet qui est actuellement évalué à environ 220 millions de dollars. victime d’un vol. À cet endroit, un ou des individus se sont introduits dans une remorque à l’arrière de la propriété et ont volé une quantité importante de pneus. Le vol se serait produit entre le 28 décembre et le 3 janvier.

Rally ‘round to help a family in distress
left of their home was a pile of smouldering rubble. All weekend, people drove by the ruins in disbelief wondering how quickly life can sometimes spin out of control. We want each and every one of those involved to know their efforts were appreciated. We, who live in the Clarence-Rockland’s rural areas, should also be reminded that we have at our disposal emergency personnel and services often only found in large cities. Finally, we call upon the generosity of the Clarence-Rockland community to assist this family in coming months so they are not alone facing the difficulties ahead. A fund is being set-up to accept donations and those details will be released shortly.
Around 1 a.m., on Saturday January 5, a fire at 3347 Old Highway 17 forced our neigh- bours, Debbie Kelly and Carey Howse and their two children, ages 10 and 14, from their home into the frigid cold with nothing more than their lives, their pyjamas and their two pets. A call was placed to 911 and within minutes emergency help arrived. While neighbours gathered to try and console the family, the Clarence-Rockland Fire Department, dozens of volunteer firefighters, the O.P.P., the paramedics, and the local community support group got busy. Firefighting equipment strategically posted while water had to be brought in from a dis- tance away to fight the flames hundreds of yards away from the main road. By 6 a.m., in spite of a valiant effort on the part of the entire firefighting team, all that was It is clear that the city fathers of Clarence-Rockland lack any real vision for the little things that make a community work; things that are, relatively speaking, low cost but have a posi- tive impact on a community, like bicycle paths, children’s parks and an off-leash dog park, for example. With respect to the latter, this municipality is certainly not dog friendly. At a recent Council meeting, a proposal to establish an off-leash dog park was put be- fore Council. Council’s response was to pass a motion that on the one hand accepted the mandate of its own Off Leash Dog Park Advisory Committee and then, incredibly, rejected any further investigation of the idea because it had no funds. So what then, is its Advisory Committee supposed to advise about? If it weren’t so sad it would be funny that the irony of this situation appears to be lost on this Council. It rejected outright any discussions with Brigil Construction, a company that might have allowed the city to use a parcel of land at the corner of St. Jean and Poupart streets as an off-leash park had the city bothered to ask. Talk about kicking a gift horse in the mouth! An opportunity lost because of a few Council members who are out of touch with basic community needs. Council did not even bother to direct its own advisory committee to investigate the mat- ter further and to proceed with this initiative on condition that they raise their own funds to cover costs such as fencing and signage. Seems like a no-brainer, right? This would have cost the city nothing and shown some moral support for the project. It is this lack of vi- sion and strategic thinking that worries me most. Apart from the two Councillors who sup- ported the original initiative (Councillor Payer, Ward 3 and Councillor Serurrier, Ward 4), the only conclusion one can draw is that the remaining Council members just don’t have the foresight to see what most progressive communities have long understood - the positive role these kinds of relatively low cost initiatives can play for everyone in a community. How sad is it that on the dog park initiative, the level of debate by our elected leaders, the people who are supposed to be “visionary thinkers” on important issues, sinks to Council- lors asking inane questions such as“How do you knowwhose dog poop you will be picking up?” and“Why don’t you just put an electric collar on your dog and keep him in your yard?”
Ben and Debbie Pelletier Clarence Point
Clarence-Rockland, a not-so-dog-friendly community
So much for informed, considered debate, and strategic thinking. Not the kind of high level thinking one expects from those in the seats of power. Clarence-Rockland is a municipality that wants to become a city but can’t seem to free itself from the shackles of the small village mentality it is locked into, thanks to many of its elected officials. It’s a village that does indeed have lots of growing up to do. We expect and deserve a lot more from our elected officials. They are supposed to be the visionaries. Judging by how they handle the little things that come forward on their agendas, the big things are not looking very promising. They are supposed to listen to and care about our needs yet I see little evidence of this since moving here two years ago. In fact, I have seen little evidence of any real vision by this Council. They seem to operate on the basis of its “my way or the highway”. This must change. Council does have the right to ignore basic requests from its citizenry, even when they cost little or nothing. That is after all what democracy is all about. But democracy also in- cludes our rights to have our voices heard. I am not sure if Council realizes what a powerful force the “dog lobby” in this municipality has the potential to become, but they may be about to find out before the next election. We pay huge taxes and get very little in return, unless you count the potholed roads. As it stands, our municipality still has no off-leash dog park. A simple, no-cost temporary solution would have been to allow dog owners to use a space such as the Dr. Corbeil park without fear of being ticketed. But I won’t hold my breath that this Council will be visionary enough to see this through, so it may be some time before we become a more pet friendly community. J’ai bien connu Monseigneur Plourde et j’ai pleuré en apprenant à la messe des Rois di- manche dernier son Grand Départ de la veille. Il était à mon sens le dernier roi de l’Église d’Ottawa. Il a connu deux successeurs mais, comme tel, il était irremplaçable. Il émanait de toute sa personne un caractère de noblesse, un sentiment de dignité inné. Et son timbre d’orateur modèle résonne toujours à mes oreilles. Jeune professeur de français dans les collèges classiques, je m’intéressais à la rhétorique et lorsque Son Excellence Monseigneur Joseph-Aurèle Plourde fut intronisé au siège épis- copal de l’archidiocèse d’Ottawa le 22 février 1967, je n’avais encore que 25 ans. Je l’ai bientôt pris comme modèle et, maintenant septuagénaire, je m’inspire toujours de ses al- lures de tribun. Monseigneur Plourde était un grand communicateur, peut-être moins remarquable sur un plan plus intimiste mais toujours à son meilleur devant les foules. Homme d’Évangile et prédicateur hors pair, il possédait à fond l’art du discours qu’il savait construire et livrer. Il connaissait l’art de capter l’attention dès le départ en illustrant son propos de vivants exemples et l’art de maintenir l’intérêt en variant le ton et en utilisant à fond ce riche tim- bre qui le servait si bien. Et ses péroraisons laissaient ample matière à réflexion. Ce grand prélat pouvait avec aplomb raccrocher une page d’Évangile à une tranche concrète de vie. Par la mémoire, il continuera à nous inspirer. Un orateur modèle Robert Gadoua Rockland

Stephen Blais in hospital
Flu gets a grip on the region GREGGCHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca involve influenza A subtype H3N2, which has resulted in some cases in either chil- dren under the age of 14 or seniors going to hospital for further treatment to prevent pneumonia from developing.
VISION@EAP.ON.CA PRESCOTT-RUSSELL
CORNWALL | The flu bug is making the rounds in Eastern Ontario. Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, chief medical officer for the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) reported that the region is experiencing the same level of flu outbreaks this season as the rest of the province. “Last year we didn’t have any cases,” said Dr. Roumeliotis, noting that as of the end of December the EOHU has recorded 29 inci- dents of influenza. That includes four outbreaks in long-term care facilities and five in various schools in the EOHU region. Several of the outbreaks
The vaccine still available through the EOHU’s flu clinics, local doctors offices and some pharmacies is designed to deal with H3N2 along with other common flus. This season has seen a drop in the num- ber of people attending the EOHU’s free flu clinics. Dr. Roumeliotis cannot say there is a definite link but noted that in some of the cases he knows about himself the patients involved did not get their annual flu shot. “There is merit to getting the (vaccine) protection,” Dr. Roumeliotis said. “The flu is not the same as a cold. The flu can be more dangerous.”
ORLÉANS | Cumberland ward council- lor Stephen Blais was rushed to hospital Monday morning after he collapsed at a local gym. Blais was exercising at an Orléans fitness centre when he collapsed and was taken first to Montfort Hospital and then later transferred to the Ottawa Heart Institute. He showed no vital signs when paramedics arrived on the scene at the gym but later re- vived when he arrived for initial treatment at Montfort Hospital’s emergency ward. No further details were available at press time. Staff at both Montfort Hospital and
the Ottawa Heart Institute are declining any comment at present beyond confirming Blais is in care. The 32-year-old Blais is a first-term mem- ber of Ottawa city council, having defeated incumbent Rob Jellett for the Cumberland Ward seat in the 2010 municipal election.

Cindy Deschamps en riant. Les parents ont choisi le nom Ryder pour une raison bien particulière. « Son père et moi pratiquons la moto tout-terrain, alors le choix semblait logique. » Le nom commun rider signifie motocycliste. Bienvenue Madison! Au Campus Civic de l’Hôpital d’Ottawa, le premier bébé est né à 00h02 minutes. Il s’agit de Madison Suzanne Sauvé. Elle a été accueillie par ses parents Audrey et Robert Sauvé, un couple résidant à Nepean. Pour sa part, Madison pesait 6 lb,1 oz à la naissance. Elle était prévue pour le 23 janvier. Son père, Robert Sauvé, est en fait originaire de la région de Clarence- Rockland. Il était d’ailleurs un grand ami d’enfance de Nicholas Vachon, le pompier volontaire qui a perdu la vie le 15 décembre après s’être fait frapper par une voiture. Également, Robert Sauvé avait récemment vécu la tragédie de la mort de sa mère en décembre.
Le petit Ryder James Larocque est né à 0 h 38, le 1 er janvier. Il pèse 8 lb, 6 oz; un poids normal. Il s’agit d’un premier bébé pour Cindy Deschamps et Kyle James Larocque. Le nouveau-né a patienté trois jours de plus que son terme. « Ce fut un long processus », a confié la mère, quelque peu fatiguée. De fait, l’accouchement a duré environ 15 heures. Mais lorsque le petit Ryder s’est pointé le bout du nez, la nouvelle maman a vite oublié tout le travail. « Je suis immédiatement devenue amoureuse. Je me suis dit que je ne pourrais jamais aimer rien d’autre plus que lui », a confié Cindy Deschamps. Dépassée par les événements d’un premier accouchement, la maman n’était pas au courant que son bébé était le premier à être accueilli à l’hôpital Montfort. « Ma famille et le personnel de l’hôpital étaient tous très heureux. Ma famille était déjà en célébration du Nouvel An. Ils ont fait un toast additionnel. Je n’étais pas déçue de manquer les festivités », a confié

Rockland duo earn Diamond Jubilee awards
VISION@EAP.ON.CA PRESCOTT-RUSSELL
Ottawa | Two more names from the City of Clarence-Rockland were added to the list nominees awarded Queen’s Diamond Ju- bilee Medals. Louise Amyot Laviolette and Clancy Bar- rett, both employed with Statistics Canada, received their Jubilee medals fromWayne R. Smith, the Chief Statistician of Canada, dur- ing a December ceremony on Parliament Hill held to present the medals to 88 mem- bers of the Statistics Canada department. Laviolette received her medal in recog- nition of her management of Statistic’s Canada awards and recognition program, including planning and coordinating the annual departmental merit and long-term service events for several years, along with
serving as both mentor and advisor to many StatsCan employees. “Louise is the person behind the scene that makes us all look good,” stated Smith. Barrett’s medal nomination, Smith noted, recognizes his “vast knowledge of interna- tional trade and for his significant contribu- tion, over many years, to the International Merchandise Trade Program at Statistics Canada.” The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal was
struck to commemorate the 60th anniversa- ry of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Several thousand of the medals were distributed throughout Canada to present to individu- als, working at all levels of government, the private sector, and in the general public to recognize their contributions to Canada’s arts, cultures, science, education, commu- nity service, and other activities that benefit both their areas, the country at large, and the world.
