L’ORIGNAL | Anyone and everyone with an interest in the future development of Prescott and Russell counties has a chance to give their say. The United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) is nearing the final stages of its scheduled five-year review and revision of the Official Plan (OP). A copy of the draft re- port of the proposed OP revision is now on the counties website and the UCPR coun- cil has accepted a recommendation from Planning Director Louis Prévost to schedule public hearings on the report and the five- year-review for next month. “But the consultation period begins im- mediately,” said Warden René Berthiaume,

La route a sérieusement besoin de se faire faire un ‘‘lifting’’, projet qui devrait s’élever à quelque 30 000$. La municipalité de Casselman re- fuse, pour le moment, de défrayer la moitié des réparations (environ 15 000 $) parce que ces travaux ne sont pas prévus dans son bud- get. La municipalité de La Nation nà’avait pas non plus calculé ces travaux dans son budget mais considère qu’il devient urgent de faire une beauté à ce chemin. «Nous allons donner la chance à Casselman de mettre cette dé- pense dans son budget de 2014. On verra bien. Nous pouvons, ce- pendant, leur envoyer de nouveau la facture», a proposé le conseiller de La Nation, Richard Legault.

ious or fatal accidents than impaired driv- ing. OPP spokespersons state that distract- ed driving has always been a major fac- tor in collisions. This includes distractions such as speaking to passengers, eating and changing music, however those are all things which can be stopped instantly when driving conditions suddenly change. With the addition of portable electronic and digital communication devices the na- ture of distractions has altered. Cell phones and other electronic com- munications are some of the most danger- ous distractions, partly because conversa- tions with someone who is not present and who do not see the driving conditions require a significant amount of attention. Even with hands-free devices, the driver’s mind is no longer primarily engaged with the complex task of driving. Texting is a new issue. A person cannot drive well while reading or typing. Many text-users are also young drivers, adding inexperience to the potentially fatal mix. In Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and Ontario distractions have topped impaired driving as the cause of accidents. In local schools, the mock-accident Safe Grad programs, which was originally aimed at preventing impaired driving, have added distracted driving to their scenario. +1*0%!/ŏ.!2%!3 +1*0/ As autumn approaches everything is looking good with accounting ledger for the counties.
