Mayors fuming over County Road 17 report
“Should we complete the EA?” he said. “At least the EA would protect the (traffic) cor- ridors that are established.” Alfred-Plantagenet Mayor Jean-Yves Lalonde noted that the provincial govern- ment needs to be more involved in the situ- ation. He reminded counties council that the province has committed $40 million to upgrading the highway link once the EA fi- nal report is finished and recommendations presented. The federal government has also committed $40 million to the project but Lalonde observed that the province has the primary responsibility. “We need to do something in the east here,” he said. “We need to have something from the government. We need to have something from the province at the mo- ment.” Warden Jean-Paul St-Pierre told counties council that a new strategy is needed to keep the highway upgrade project viable. “I fully agree 20 years is way too long to wait,” he said. The warden noted that the Ontario Good Roads Association (OGRA) conference is coming up soon on the annual meetings schedule. He suggested contacting both MPP Grant Crack and MP Pierre Lemieux on the issue and also arranging to meet with provincial and federal ministers and other officials during OGRA. “I remain optimistic,” he said. “Transporta- tion is something we need to address.” Following last week’s UCPR counties council session, Warden St-Pierre and ad- ministration met with Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and his staff on the issue. During the Jan. 13 Russell Township council ses- sion, St-Pierre told his council members and the webcast audience the meeting was “very positive and refreshing” and that he has directed counties staff to continue working with AECOM on the EAP and also to look into what the costs would be for all the options to improve traffic flow between Rockland and Orléans.

L’ORIGNAL | The mayors of Prescott-Rus- sell are fuming over what they see as the latest sabotage effort of the City of Otta- wa on upgrading the highway connection between Rockland and Orléans. Some mayors sitting on the United Coun- ties of Prescott-Russell council (UCPR) have declared that the counties should focus all of its efforts instead on getting the prov- ince to take back responsibility for County Road 17. Champlain Township Mayor Gary Barton noted that traffic problems related to the county road link to Orléans-Ottawa were an issue when he was warden for the UCPR in 2006. “From my perspective, we haven’t made an ounce of progress,” Barton said. “I think our argument is with the province.” Four-laning of the County Road 17/High- way 174 connection between Rockland and Orléans is the subject of a two-year environ- mental assessment. AECOM, the consultant firm working on the assessment, provided counties council with an update report dur- ing its Jan. 8 committee of the whole ses- sion. The report noted that the City of Ottawa’s own revised Transportation Master Plan (TMP) does not foresee any chance of major upgrading of any part of the 174 Highway route east of the Trim Road intersection for at least two decades. Ottawa’s own transportation plan calls for focusing its efforts on improvements for commuter traffic west of Trim Road. That in- cludes plans to extend the light rapid tran- sit system to Place d’Orléans. Both Ottawa and the UCPR are supposed to be partners on the environmental assess- ment study (EA) for upgrading the highway link between Rockland and Orléans with the provincial government providing $5 million to cover the study cost. Ottawa has indicated reluctance in the past to become involved in such a process unless its own particular traffic concerns are addressed, like the Split interchange with St-Laurent onto the 174 where it becomes the Queen- sway. Stéphane Parisien, UCPR chief administra- tor, expressed skepticism to council about the chance that Ottawa would ever pay
serious attention to any EA report on four- laning or other upgrading proposals for the 174/17 connector route. He noted that Ottawa could end up “shelving the report” while it focused on its own TMP goals. Marc Clermont, UCPR public works direc- tor also noted “nothing on the books” in the Ottawa TMP that suggests any plans for widening of the highway connector route within the next two decades. “I am quite disappointed,” said Mayor Marcel Guibord of Clarence-Rockland. He noted that the Ottawa TMP suggests 2031 for when the city might consider wid- ening of the connector route with his mu- nicipality. Guibord said that would mean 60 years since a provincial government study urged expansion of the highway connec- tion between Rockland and Orléans to re- lieve the growing congestion.
“I don’t see anything positive in this,” he said, regarding the Ottawa TMP. “I think it’s time we tell the province, ‘You’re wasting money,’” said François St- Amour, The Nation mayor, regarding the EA process. Parisien and Clermont disagreed. Parisien said the EA process “is paramount” to suc- cess in getting improvements to the County Road 17 link and Clermont agreed.

gŏđŏ Jacques Archambault pressenti comme conseiller Le conseil municipal de Clarence- Rockland pourrait arrêter son choix sur le candidat défait aux dernières élections, Jacques Archambault, pour combler le siège du quartier 4 laissé vacant par Raymond Serrurier. C’est ce qui est ressorti d’une discussion tenue à la réunion plénière du 13 janvier. Rappelons que le conseiller Raymond Serrurier a remis sa démission le 18 novembre dernier affirmant qu’il souhaitait «relever de nouveaux défis de santé sur le plan familial auxquels s’ajoute le stress négatif de demeurer en poste au sein de ce conseil dysfonctionnel». Le conseil a déclaré le siège vacant. Selon la Loi de 2001 sur les municipalités, la municipalité peut soit combler le siège vacant en nommant une personne qui a consenti à accepter la charge si elle est nommée; ou exiger une élection partielle. Aux dernières élections, Jacques Archambault avait obtenu 544 votes contre 663 pour Raymond Serrurier. Soulignons également que Jacques Archambault est un des coauteurs de la plainte pour conflit d’intérêts déposée contre Raymond Serrurier en 2012. Lors des discussions sur le poste, le conseiller Guy Desjardins avait d’abord proposé une élection de quartier. «Moi je donnerais la chance aux membres du quartier, à ces citoyens d’exprimer leur vote», a affirmé M. Desjardins. Ce dernier a reçu l’appui du conseiller Bernard Payer. Pour sa part, la conseillèreDianeChoinière estime plutôt que la décision a été prise en 2010. «Moi je pense que les citoyens du quartier ont déjà exprimé leur vote lors des dernières élections. Je crois que le poste devrait aller au deuxième candidat qui était en lice». « [...] il ne reste plus qu’un an au présent terme, ça coûte des sous pour aller en élection et on a pas l’argent pour ça». - André Henrie De son côté, le conseiller Guy Félio abonde dans le même sens que Mme Choinière. «Si je me souviens bien, l’écart des votes n’était que d’une centaine. Si la différence avait été plus importante, je n’aurais pas été d’accord, mais ce n’est pas le cas». À la fin, selon le conseiller André Henrie, il s’agit d’une question de coûts. «Je suis d’accord pour suivre le processus démocratique. Mais, il ne reste plus qu’un an au présent terme, ça coûte des sous pour aller en élection et on a pas l’argent pour ça» a affirmé M. Henrie. Le conseil présentera une résolution en ce sens lors de la réunion régulière du 27 janvier. MARTIN BRUNETTE martin.brunette@eap.on.ca

CUPE strike talk surprises mayor ACTUALITÉ * NEWS

Hall. "It seems like the hands of the municipal negotiating committee are tied," Bézaire said, "which suggests that the problem lies higher up the ladder at City Hall." Guibord denied the allegation. He said the negotiating committee was given the minimum and maximum limits council had decided on for wage and other benefit im- provements in a new contract. “We did not influence more than that,” he said. The mayor also called last month’s CUPE strike vote as a surprise to City Hall. ”We have done everything we could,” he said. “It makes us look not too good. But we have nothing to feel sorry about.” He expressed hope that the mediator will be able to work out a settlement between both sides. “We are definitely not for a strike. In the end, everybody loses.”
GREGGCHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca
ROCKLAND | Mayor Marcel Guibord de- nies that anyone has put a muzzle on negotiators for the City of Clarence-Rock- land in its current contract dealings with city workers. “Contrary to what they say,” Guibord said during an interview Jan. 9, “those responsi- ble for representing the community’s inter- est do not ‘have their hands tied’.” The city and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) are dealing with a pro- vincially-appointed mediator after a recent round of contract talks ended in a deadlock. CUPE spokesman Jean-Marc Bézaire stated in media interviews his belief that the city’s negotiating committee was hampered at the bargaining table by directives from City
Correction
The article in the January 9 edition of the Vision, “C-R workers ready to strike for new contract”, contained an error. The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) does represent the City of Clarence- Rockland’s clerical and other “white collar” workers and most of its “blue collar” workers. But the staff employed for garbage collection, while they are CUPE members, are covered by a separate contract than the one at present subject to negotiation between the city and the union. These city workers are not affected by the current bargaining talks and thus may not be
subject to a strike mandate. The Vision regrets the error..

La plainte contre Raymond Serrurier tombe
ou plus, remboursement des frais légaux au complet ou en partie des demandeurs et autres. Au moment des accusations, M. Serrurier se disait convaincu de l’implication d’autres conseillers à la table. «Cette décision de la part des plaignants coïncide étrangement avec l’obtention d’un courriel envoyé à un employé de la municipalité par un des membres du conseil municipal qui prouve qu’au moins un membre du conseil de Clarence-Rockland était derrière cette plainte contre moi», souligne Raymond Serrurier dans un communiqué envoyé aux médias. Rappelons que Raymond Serrurier a remis sa démission à titre de conseiller au mois de novembre. Il avait alors affirmé : «Après trois années d’exclusion, de manque d’éthique, de manque de respect, de leadership qui divise, j’en ai assez.» Le conseiller avait également affirmé qu’il souhaitait passer du temps avec sa famille. Pour la suite des choses, Raymond Serrurier confie pour l’instant qu’il n’a pas l’intention d’intenter une action en justice pour ce qu’il considère comme du harcèlement. «Jen’ai pas d’énergie àdépenser là-dessus, a-t-il confié. Ce n’était qu’une plainte bidon. Je ne pousserai pas l’affaire plus loin.»
MARTIN BRUNETTE martin.brunette@eap.on.ca
On ne saura finalement pas si l’ex- conseiller municipal de Clarence- Rockland, Raymond Serrurier, est coupable ou non d’un conflit d’intérêts. La plainte déposée en ce sens par Jacques Archambault et Jean-Claude Marinier a été abandonnée. «On ne pouvait plus aller en cour parce qu’il n’était plus en poste, a déclaré un des demandeurs, Jean-Claude Marinier. Ça ne donnait plus rien d’aller en cour, ça n’aurait donné que si un juge l’avait déclaré coupable ou non, il n’aurait pas pu se présenter aux élections pendant sept ans.» La plainte pour conflit d’intérêts à l’endroit de Raymond Serrurier a été déposée à l’été 2012. Le conflit découlait du fait que le fils de Raymond Serrurier est employé à la firme Levac, Robichaud, Leclerc. Celle-ci fait régulièrement affaires avec la municipalité. «Avant d’accepter le poste de conseiller, j’ai reçu un avis juridique d’un avocat à ce sujet», avait maintenu M. Serrurier. Joint par le journal Vision, l’ex-conseiller s’explique mal la raison pour laquelle les plaignants ont abandonné la plainte alors
Raymond Serrurier
qu’une résolution était imminente. «On était rendu pratiquement à la fin. Pourquoi ne pas continuer pour prouver leurs dires, a confié M. Serrurier. À mon avis, c’était vraiment une tentative pour me forcer à démissionner.» Une de trois conséquences était possible si les procédures avaient suivi leur cours
soit: que le juge rejette la plainte et exige des plaignants un remboursement des frais d’avocat du défendeur (Raymond Serrurier); que RaymondSerrurier soit trouvé endéfaut mais non sanctionné ou qu’il soit trouvé en défaut et le juge attribue des sanctions: retrait du siège au conseil, exclusion de candidature pour une prochaine élection

Home invader charged for weapons offences ACTUALITÉ * NEWS editionap.ca
ROCKLAND | Police have tracked down one suspect in a home invasion case in Rockland from last fall. Richard A. Mattatal, 36, of Gatineau, QC, was taken into custody pending his first appearance in provincial court in L’Orignal Jan. 27 on a variety of charges related to OPP investigation of an incident Sept. 15, 2013. Police answered a call about a break-and- enter involving violence at a house on Ray- mond Street in Rockland. The initial police incident report stated that three armed suspects entered the home, restrained and then threatened the occupant. The victim suffered some minor injuries during the armed encounter. Police have since been working on the case with the resulting charges filed against Mattatal.
They include assault with a weapon, as- sault, using a firearm to commit an offence, pointing a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm or ammuni- tion, forcible confinement, theft exceeding $5000 value, and mischief exceeding $5000 value. Car fire rescue Several dogs learned that police and fire- men are a canine’s best friend. Rockland OPP and fire fighters dealt with a car fire Jan. 12 in the parking lot at the lo- cal WalMart. A passerby in the parking lot that Sunday noticed smoke coming from the engine compartment of a Dodge van. Soon after flames erupted and started spreading into the van.
No humans were in the van at the time. Police and firefighters arriving on the scene broke into the vehicle and removed some dogs left inside. Another vehicle parked beside the van suffered some fire damage. Police have closed the file on the incident. Arson is not suspected as the cause of the fire. Domestic disturbance An unwanted caller resulted in a police visit to a home on St-Laurent Street in Rock- land. A woman phoned police Jan. 9 to com- plain about a former partner of hers who had just shown up, drunk, at her home without an invitation. Police arrested a 24-year-old Rockland man on a charge of failure to comply with a
probation order. His name was not released in the police report. Suspended licence Danny Wathier, 56, of The Nation is charged with driving while his licence was under suspension. Wathier is scheduled for the Feb. 6 traffic court session in L’Orignal. The charge resulted from an OPP road- check Jan. 12 along County Road 17 in Alfred-Plantagenet Township during which the officer recognized Wathier and remem- bered that his licence was suspended. Snowmobilers take care Since the start of the new year there have been five reported fatal snowmobile colli- sions in Ontario. The OPP urges snowmo- bilers to take care when out on the trails, refrain from drinking and riding, and follow all safety rules and speed and traffic guide- lines. During the current mild weather condi- tions, snowmobilers are warned to be care- ful if considering any lake or river crossings and to go around lakes or avoid stream crossings in case there is rotten or weak ice. CrimeStoppers Anyone with information that can help solve a crime can call the CrimeStoppers toll-free tips line at 1-800-222-8477. No names are used and information which helps a case may be eligible for a reward.
Fatal hit-and-run case remains open in the village and then leaving the house around 6 p.m, Sept. 22, 2011. She was last seen alive in Fournier that day between the hours of 7 p.m. and 8:15 p.m.
FOURNIER | Police are launching another appeal for information that will help solve the case of Jessica Marie Lynn Godin. The 18-year-old resident of The Nation died as a result of a fatal hit-and-run inci- dent Sept. 24, 2011. Godin’s body was found in a ditch on Du Parc Street in Fournier. Police investigation of the case show her last-know where- abouts had her staying at a friend’s house
views as part of the investigation. The provincial government has a stand- ing reward offer of $50,000 for information which will help police find the person re- sponsible and press charges. Anyone who can help can either phone Det-Const. Dan Fedele at the Hawkesbury OPP detachment at 613-632-2729 or the CrimeStoppers toll-free confidential tips line at 1-800-222-8477.
An autopsy showed injuries resulting from a collision with a vehicle. The nature of the injuries and the location of the ditch suggest an eastbound vehicle hit her while she was on Du Parc Street. The OPP file on the case now includes more than 90 inter-

satisfaisante pour les deux parties». Les négociations devaient reprendre cette semaine.
«On a confiance en nos employés. On sait que les bonnes décisions vont se prendre. Nous aurons sûrement une entente qui sera
peut-être réalisé en respectant le budget adopté par la Cité. L’absence d’une entente est incompréhensible», ajoute M. Bézaire. D’entrée de jeu, le maire Marcel Guibord a tenu à déplorer les agissements du syn- dicat au début du conflit. «On est un peu surpris de voir que le syndicat va dans les journaux pour s’annoncer. On apprend des choses par les journaux. Ce n’est pas qu’on est déçu, on est tout simplement surpris», a confié M. Guibord. Ce dernier a ajouté que dans le cas d’une grève, les services municipaux seraient as- surés aux citoyens. «S’il y avait grève, nous allons prendre tous les moyens néces- saires pour s’assurer qu’il y ait le moins de dérangement possible pour les citoyens. On ne s’attend pas à ce qu’il y ait une grève, on ne croit pas que ça devrait aller là», a confié le maire. Ce dernier a terminé en sou- lignant le travail des employés municipaux.

Manifestement, on ne sera pas ignoré», a confié Jean-Marc Bézaire, conseiller syndical du local 503 du Syndicat canadien de la fonction publique (SCFP). Rappelons que tout juste avant le congé des Fêtes, les employés du local 503 du SCFP avaient voté à 87% en faveur d’une grève. «Nous voulons nous assurer que le conseil n’interprète pas un vote de grève à 87% comme un simple vote», a indiqué Jean-Marc Bézaire, représentant national

Keep coyotes at a distance this winter gŏđŏ
editionap.ca
So far the incident appears to be an iso- lated case. There were reports in the Ca- naan Road/Joanisse Road areas of a coyote, described as “mangy and sick-looking” seen wandering through the area. Soon after the Vision posted a warning on its website a reader reported on the news- paper’s Facebook page seeing the carcass of a dead coyote alongside Canaan Road. Whether this is the same coyote responsi- ble for attacking and killing the dog is not known. Coyotes are native to the Prescott-Russell area and there are sightings in other mu- nicipalities but no calls or complaints of at- tacks involving either humans or pets have come in. In both The Nation Municipality and Al- fred-Plantagenet Township there are hunt- ers who are licensed to trap or track down and shoot coyotes during the designated provincial hunting season and subject to Ontario hunting regulations. Coyotes, like ravens and crows, are one of the species of animals that has adapted well to living close to human settlements. While the coyote is a predator and packs are ca- pable to taking down animals as large as a deer, themain source of food for coyotes are small animals like rabbits, mice, and voles. Coyotes are also willing to scavenge road- kills or any scraps they can find in house- hold garbage left out overnight. Homeown- ers in rural areas should make sure to wait until the morning of garbage collection day to put their bins and bags out for pick- up. They should also avoid leaving any pet food outside during the night as that might tempt coyotes to linger near a residence. The warm January temperatures may be making some winter sports a little bit more risky. The OPP and the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) issued a joint advisory about ice conditions on lakes and streams in the province at the beginning of the year. The extreme cold of early January has giv- en way to a thaw situation that may be cre- ating some rotten ice conditions on lakes and streams. The weakened ice may not be strong enough to support the weight of ei- ther a snowmobile or even a person stand- ing on the ice. Snowmobilers and ATV users with tires suitable for winter travel are urged to stick to the land-based OFSC-prescribed trails for their activities. Anyone who does go out on either a frozen lake or stream for either snowmobiling or ice fishing should wear a floatation suit or a buoyant snowmobile suit and carry a pair of ice picks with them. Stick with marked stake line trails on riv- ers and lakes rather than going “off trail” into areas where the ice thickness is un- known. Always check ice conditions when and do not travel alone or at night. Avoid slushy ice or ice near moving or open water or dock bubblers. The South Nation Conservation Authority (SNC) is also monitoring ice conditions in the South Nation River as part of its flood control warning program. 0 5ŏ 3 5ŏ from ice

ROCKLAND | One Rockland family is mourning the loss of a beloved family pet after a fatal encounter with a coyote. Homeowners in the rural parts of Clar- ence-Rockland are urged to make sure their pets are kept safe inside for the winter. A family on the east side of town lost their dog after it was attacked by a coyote while outside on the front porch. The dog did not survive the encounter.

Un nouveau site Web dénonciateur
VISION@EAP.ON.CA PRESCOTT-RUSSELL
get set for Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario
Après la page facebook Citoyen de Clar- ence-Rockland citizen, crée il y a quelques années, un nouveau site Web destiné à dénoncer les agissements des élus mu- nicipaux voit le jour. Les Citoyens pour un gouvernement éthique , un groupe composé d’individus de la communauté de Clarence-Rockland, a annoncé, mercredi dernier, la mise en ligne de cette page Web. Celle-ci peut être consultée au www.clarencerocklandethics. org. Le citoyen Robert Gadoua est un des initiateurs de la page. «[…] le but est de braquer les projecteurs sur les politiques, directives et comportement des élus municipaux de la Cité», précise-t-il. Le site comptera sur la participation de la communauté ainsi que sur l’information obtenue de la municipalité afin d’alimenter le site. «Protéger l’anonymat de tous les partis est primordial, car il existe une crainte réelle de représailles de la part de ce conseil municipal tel qu’onme l’a souvent rapporté, a affirmé Robert Gadoua. Ce site permet aux résidents de s’exprimer librement, mais de façon légale et durable, pourvu que le contenu soumis soit approprié». Prudence près des cours d’eau Les niveaux d’eau des rivières peuvent augmenter en raison de températures au-dessus du point de congélation et de fortes pluies, avertit la Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS). La fonte de neige et une augmentation du ruissellement vers les cours d’eau élèveront le niveau et le débit des rivières dans tout le bassin versant de la Nation Sud. Les glaces couvrant les plus importants cours d’eau pourront devenir instables en raison de l’augmentation du niveau d’eau. Les résidents sont invités à éviter les cours d’eau car la météo peut rap- idement augmenter les débits d’eau, causer des berges glissantes et affaiblir la couver- ture de glace. Les parents sont encouragés à expliquer ces dangers à leurs enfants. CNS encourage le publique à visiter http:// watershedconditions.com et aussi à don- ner leur rétroaction concernant les change- ments liés aux conditions locales (i.e. les niveaux d’eau élevés, les inondations des routes, les débâcles, etc.).
