Une nouvelle image pour Grenville-sur-la-Rouge ACTUAL I TÉ • NEWS
ALEXANDRA MONTMINY alexandra.montminy@eap.on.ca
Les ailes représentent trois éléments qui sont apparents dans la nouvelle signature. Ces éléments sont la représentation de l’eau, des lacs et des rivières, les plateaux et les prairies ainsi que les monts et les vallées », a fait remarquer M. Legault lors de la présen- tation. Il a poursuivi en expliquant que les couleurs vert et rouge ont été sélectionnées afin de représenter les teintes présentes dans la nature entourant lamunicipalité, comme le rouge du granit et des chênes à l’automne. « En plus du logo à caractéristiques rurales, nous avons choisi une typographie très li- sible avec un caractère plus moderne et
facilement adaptable », a-t-il poursuivi. Outre le logo, laMunicipalité s’est égale- ment dotée d’une nouvelle devise : De cœur et de nature. Elle allie ainsi deux facettes très importantes pour les résidents du secteur. « Il fallait en avoir du cœur, du cœur à l’ou- vrage », a commenté M. Legault en parlant des pionniers fondateurs de lamunicipalité et de ses villages. Le dévoilement officiel de la nouvelle signature a été favorablement accueilli par les représentants de la Municipalité et les dignitaires présents, qui ont vivement ap- plaudi à la fin de la présentation. Pour le maire John Saywell, l’adoption de cette nouvelle image symbolise plus que jamais la volonté de la Municipalité de préserver et de développer les ressources naturelles, et ce, main dans la main avec la
communauté. « Depuis l’arrivée de notre conseil muni- cipal en poste, nous avions comme prio- rité le développement. Nous possédons un territoire immense et le défi est énorme. Avec cette nouvelle image, nous souhaitons attirer plus de gens, dont ceux qui ont la nature à cœur, vu son importance sur notre territoire », a affirméM. Saywell, misant sur l’importance de cette nouvelle image et des communications pour le développement de Grenville-sur-la-Rouge. Un calendrier, un nouveau siteWeb ainsi qu’un bulletin municipal plus volumineux font aussi partie des nouveautés annoncées par laMunicipalité lors de la conférence de presse. « Cette nouvelle image symbolise le nouvel élan de la municipalité », a conclu le maire Saywell.
LaMunicipalité de Grenville-sur-la-Rouge a convié lesmédias le lundi 11 janvier der- nier, afin de dévoiler sa nouvelle image de marque. Pour l’élaboration de cette nouvelle image, laMunicipalité a fait appel à la firme de communication EXACOM, dont le re- présentant, Michel Legault, a expliqué la signification lors de la conférence de presse. « Le logo représente un oiseau, plus préci- sément un dindon sauvage, enmouvement.
Un budget de 4,2 millions $ et les chemins un sujet chaud
et dans la zone de glissement de terrain sur le chemin de la Rivière-Rouge. Cette année, Grenville-sur-la-Rouge prévoit investir 1,9 million $ en transport, ce qui est dans la même veine que les années précédentes. L’année 2016 devrait être la plus importante au niveau de l’injection de fonds dans le réseau routier dans le cadre du plan trien- nal d’investissement, avec 2,5 millions $ comparativement à 775 000 $ en 2017 et 992 500 $ en 2018. Depuis des mois, le maire John Saywell indique que l’entretien du réseau routier, qui s’étend sur des centaines de kilomètres pour une population demoins de 3000 habitants, est un enjeu de taille pour le développement de la région, tant au niveau commercial que touristique. Avec l’élaboration d’un plan des routes, la Municipalité tente de trouver des solutions pour éviter que ses artères prin- cipales tombent en désuétude complète. La question du financement demeure un point épineux car la municipalité n’a pas les moyens financiers pour soutenir de tels projets à elle seule. La recherche d’unmoyen pour obtenir des fonds provenant de ceux occasionnant la circulation lourde est dif- ficile aux chapitres juridique et technique, et la géographie changeante par section est un autre défi. Avec comme objectif d’analyser la pos- sible implantation d’une zone industrielle à l’intersection de la route 344 et de l’auto- route 50, l’accès à la municipalité, que ce soit au niveau du transport lourd ou celui de l’accès aux secteurs résidentiels, sera un sujet à surveiller.
STÉPHANE LAJOIE stephane.lajoie@eap.on.ca
Les prévisions budgétaires de la Munici- palité de Grenville-sur-la-Rouge dénotent une augmentation de 5,56 % pour 2016 et lemontant du budget atteint 4,2millions $. Du côté des taxes municipales, les ci- toyens devront débourser un peu plus en raison de l’augmentation de la quote-part de la MRC d’Argenteuil, que chacune des municipalités de la région doit payer pour aider au financement de l’administration et des infrastructures régionales. Pour unemaison de 150 000 $, cette aug- mentation se chiffre à 33,07 $. Mais une baisse de 18,07 $ pour la quote-part pour les services de la Sûreté du Québec vient atténuer la hausse de la MRC. Une dimi- nution d’environ 10 $ pour le service de la dette est aussi enregistrée et le prix général pour la collecte des ordures et le recyclage augmentent de 2 $ par résidence pour at- teindre 115 $. En bout de ligne, les citoyens verront leur compte de taxes augmenter de 65,36 $ pour une résidence de 100 000 $, de 97,06 $ pour une résidence de 150 000 $ et de 128,75 $ pour une maison de 200 000 $. L’enjeu des routes En 2016, la Municipalité veut continuer la réfection des tronçons du chemin Kilmar et s’attaquer au problème des écoulements des eaux de pluie, qui cause des inondations dans certains secteurs dont celui de la place Grenville-Nord. Il y aura également des tra- vaux de réfection sur le chemin Harrington

Fin subite pour le centre Mélaric
Lise St-Denis n’est plus, mais son œuvre continue
on reprend le bâtiment, ont prévenu les responsables de l’institutionfinancière. Ces derniers ont mis leur menace à exécution en notifiant au centre Mélaric, par voie d’huissier, le lundi 11 janvier vers 13 h 30, qu’il avait vingt jours pour quitter les lieux. Le lendemain, la direction informe les rési- dents de la fermeture de l’établissement et leur spécifie qu’ils doivent être relogés ailleurs. «On a prévenu le système correctionnel. Aujourd’hui, la Sûreté du Québec nous aide à placer les gens. Le système correc- tionnel, les agents de formation, tout le monde nous aide à placer les clients.», a insisté M. Pantelakis. Lise Bourgault, présidente du conseil d’administration du centre et directrice générale adjointe-administrative, rappelle que le chèque des prestataires d’aide sociale du centre était de 747 $ parmois etMélaric prélevait, pour ses dépenses, 400 $. Mais avec la réforme, les usagers reçoivent 200 $ et on ne peut plus leur facturer les 400 $, un manque à gagner que l’établissement demande au gouvernement de payer. «On a une politique de remboursement des frais de séjour à 37,08 $ pour un résident, en chambre de 4, et 49,88 $ en chambre de deux. Moi, je demande 60 $ par jour, peu importe si tu couches seul. C’est le mini- mumque ça coûte pour traiter convenable- ment des adultes et répondre aux normes de certification, et donner un service de qualité aux gens qui viennent. Je ne suis plus capable d’offrir ces services », s’est désolée Mme Bourgault.

Mélaric, le centre de référence pour alcoo- liques et toxicomanes de Saint-André- d’Argenteuil, a fermé ses portes lemardi 12 janvier et sa clientèle devait quitter les lieux le jour même. Le manque de liquidités est à l’origine de cette situation, pour pouvoir continuer à offrir des services aux résidents. La direc- tion estime que cela faisait plusieurs mois qu’elle tentait de proposer des plans de sau- vetage au gouvernement, qui les a rejetés. Elle condamne notamment les réformes opérées au niveau de l’aide sociale, qui lui auraient fait perdre beaucoup d’argent. « Tous les audits demandés par le gou- vernement ont prouvé que l’on avait besoin de 350 000 $. C’est ce qu’on a perdu depuis le changement de l’aide sociale et ils nous ont donné 35 000 $. Ils nous ont annoncé 100 000 $ et on s’était dit que c’était un bon début. On croyait qu’on allait avoir les 100 000 $, mais ils ont dit que « tout de suite, c’est 35 000 $, 50 000 $ dans six mois et 15 000$ dans huitmois », et on a répondu que ça ne marche pas », a déclaré Dimitri Pantelakis, directeur général adjoint-cli- nique du centre. 43 résidents viennent des prisons Le créanciermajeur de l’établissement, qui est la Caisse Desjardins et qui détient l’hypothèque de la maison, entre dans le jeu en dictant ses conditions : si le gou- vernement ne fait pas un pas significatif,
La pharmacienne Lise St-Denis est décédée subitement dans son sommeil dans la nuit du 11 au 12 janvier. «Mme St-Denis était une femme de cœur, qui aimait grandement sa famille, ses amis et ses clients, a indiqué l’avocate Sandra Pilon, qui a confirmé la triste nouvelle. La pharmacie de Mme St-Denis demeure ouverte avec les mêmes heures d’ouverture et avec toujours un pharmacien sur place. » Avec pignon sur la rue Spence pendant 20 ans, la Pharmacie Lise St-Denis est déménagée sur la rue Main à l’été 2013, demeurant l’une des rares pharmacies indépendantes encore en opération. « Nous sommes une petite pharmacie indépendante avec du cœur au ventre, installée dans la région depuis près de 30 ans, avait déclaré Mme St-Denis, à l’occasion de l’ouverture de ses nouveaux locaux en 2013. « Une pharmacie qui a à cœur la santé de ses patients et qui offre un service hors-pair, au-delà de la compétition. » Les détails des funérailles de Mme St-Denis n’étaient pas encore connus au moment de mettre sous presse le 13 janvier.

On Sunday, December 20, at 5:15 pm, a Hawkesbury OPP officer was dispatched to the scene of a single motor vehicle collision on Front Road West, just east of Fries Avenue in L’Orignal. The driver had lost control of his car, ending up upside down in the ditch. The driver, 37-year-old Alain Lafontaine from Plan- tagenet, did not sustain any injuries. However, he was charged under the Criminal Code of Canada with Driving While Ability Impaired, and Driving with More than 80 mgs. of Alcohol in Blood. He is scheduled to appear in L’Ori- gnal court on January 13. In another case, Hawkesbury OPP were conducting a RIDE ini- tiative on John Street January 1 when a black car stopped at the checkpoint. The driver, 42-year-old Irwin Ithier of Ste-Marthe-sur-Le- Lac, Quebec, was arrested and charged under the Criminal Code of Canada with Driving with More than 80 mgs of Alcohol in Blood. Ithier was also charged under the Liquor Licence Act with Driving motor vehicle with unsealed container of liquor. He was later released and scheduled to appear at L’Orignal court on January 27. In both cases, the vehicles were seized for seven days and the drivers licences were immediately suspended for 90 days. – Diane Hunter In an effort towards waste reduction, the municipality of Hawkesbury will complete the special collection of Christmas trees until January 29.

Drivers still not getting the message
It’s carnival time !
During the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Festive RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) program, the OPP laid 573 charges of impaired driving.The program ran from November 23 to January 2. Police also report just over 350 people had their licenses suspended following a roadside warning during the annual safety initiative which saw police officers checking vehicles at roadside stops, and checking for alcohol and drug impaired drivers. During this holiday season, the Hawkes- bury Ontario Provincial Police officers conducted a total of 67 RIDE checkpoints in our area focusing their efforts to track downmotorists who place everyone’s safety at risk by drinking and driving on our roads and highways. The 2015 Festive RIDE campaign resul- ted in the arrest of six drivers for Impaired Driving related offences while four received warn range driving license suspensions. Recent statistics do indicate that the per- centage of people charged with impaired driving is down slightly during the Festive RIDE program this year compared to last year, but police say the sobering fact is that impaired driving is still considered a huge threat to public safety. “Despite the high number of charges again this year, it is difficult to understand why people still choose to drink or use drugs, and then get behind the wheel to drive,” said Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, Provincial Commander of Traffic Safety &Operational Support. “These statistics are alarming, and we intend to keep the pressure on drivers who refuse to consider an alternative way to get to their destination. The annual Fes- tive RIDE program may be over, but I can assure you that OPP officers will remain diligent with their focus on impaired drivers by conducting RIDE stops in various random locations every day across this province.” In 2015, the OPP laid over 6000 alcohol and drug impaired driving charges.The OPP is reminding the public that some officers now have specialized training to identify drug impaired drivers. Police will continue their efforts to raise awareness about the dangers associated with impaired driving. Check those American bills OPP in Napanee came across an unexpected cache of phony U.S. currency while arresting two men for marijuana possession. During a search of the suspects’ vehicle, police found $790 in counterfeit U.S. currency, made up of phony $50 and $20 bills. Napanee OPP are continuing their own investigation to deter- mine how much, if any, of the bogus money is now in circulation in the area and have already recovered five more of the fake $50 bills. One of the clues to detecting the counterfeits is that they will have the same serial number. Residents and business owners in other com- munities of Eastern Ontario are advised to be careful about accepting any U.S. $20 or $50 bills. Anyone with such currency in their pos- session should take it to the nearest bank for examination. – Gregg Chamberlain

vision loss, emotional distresses such as bereavement, or moving. Finding out exactly what is going on is the key to getting the help, care, and support needed. Early diagnosis couldmean amore effective treatment plan that could slow the disease and help patients and loved ones understand what lies ahead. Almost half of Canadians suffering with some sort of dementia, including Alzhei- mer’s, wait too long to be diagnosed. Knowing what is going to happen, how to treat it, and where to go for help can be tre- mendously comforting. A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s does not mean that life is over. People can live an active and meaningful life for many years. There are things that can be done to slow the pro-
gression of the disease like staying active, eating a heart healthy diet, doing things that challenge the brain, and staying socially connected. Early diagnosis is imperative as medications are most effective during the early stages of the disease. Alzheimer’s is a lot more than forget- fulness. Some signs that could indicate a problem include memory loss that affects day-to-day living, difficulty performing familiar tasks, problems with language, disorientation, impaired judgement, pro- blems with abstract thinking, misplacing things, changes in mood, behavior, or per- sonality, and loss of initiative. Any kind of concern should be brought to the attention of a doctor.
disease. However, early diagnosis for some can mean slowing it down a bit. Fear and misunderstanding prevent some people from consulting a doctor. Some get concerned when they start to forget things. But forgetfulness doesn’t necessarily mean dementia. It could just be information overload. There is only so much one can fit in one head. There are other conditions that may have similar symptoms to dementia and may be treatable. Conditions such as depression, certain types of infections, vitamin or thy- roid deficiency, and drug interactions are just some of the problems that could show signs comparable to dementia. Other causes could include hearing or

A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s seems a bleak one. But there is life after diagnosis. More and more health care professionals are finding ways for people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and their families to live with the disease. January is Alzheimer’s awa- reness month. The Canadian Alzheimer’s Society stresses early diagnosis for several reasons. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive one that usually affects people over the age of 65, increasing their chances of getting the disease as they age. But, it can affect those in their 40’s or 50’s as well. It is ultimately a pro- gressive and fatal disease, but the symptoms and rate of progression varies from person to person. People can live with Alzheimer’s for ten or more years. According to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada, 72 per cent of those diagnosed with the disease are women. Currently there are more than 740,000 people living with de- mentia including Alzheimer’s. By 2031, that number is expected to increase to 1.4 billion. There is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s, nor is there any treatment to reverse the The Arbor Gallery Speaker Series is back for a twentieth season. The Gallery has gathered a collection of people who will each be pres- enting an evening of interactive talks from January 16 to April 16.

well. During the Christmas holidays, LeTouzel practiced almost every day except for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. “I don’t mind being so busy,” said LeTouzel. “It doesn’t bother me. I like what I do. It’s hard onmy friends.They want to spend time withme, but I amalways skating.” “My coaches tell me to stay positive,” Le- Touzel explained. “They always want us to keep positive even if something is bad, they want us to push through it and stay positive.” LeTouzel’s big sister, Kayla, plays hockey for Bishops University while she earns a degree in Neuro Science. Her father Michael is the vice president at GenLeT Electric Inc. and her mother is an RPN at the Hawkesbury General Hospital. “It’s a busy schedule, but we find a way to make it work,” said Michael. Some of the achievements LeTouzel has obtained in her young skating career include being named Novice captain for the 2015-2016 year. In 2015 the Novice teamwere Winterfest Champions, Quebec Provincial Champions,
Grace LeTouzel or Gracie, as her friends like to call her, spends most of her time skating. When she’s not skating, she’s thinking about skating. L’Orignal native LeTouzel has been skating since she was just three years old. Her free time is spent either on the ice or getting to the ice. She is this year’s captain for Les Suprêmes Novice team in Quebec, whose team recently won gold for the Winterfest & Junior World Challenge Cup qualifier. LeTouzel started out skating with CanSkate in Vankleek Hill. She skated free style until about three years ago when she began skating synchro with Les Suprêmes in Montreal. “She askedme one day if I could take her to Montreal to audition,” said her father Michael. “She won the audition. It was a huge shock, not because she isn’t a good skater, it’s just a different kind of skating.” There are usually between 60 to 80 skaters competing for just 20 spots. LeTouzel had stopped skating for about six months when a back injury prevented her from getting on the ice. “I guess it was from all the jumping and landing on the ice,” she explained. “When everything lined back up, I got back on the ice.” Michael said Les Suprêmes were very impressed with his daughter’s fast rise from newcomer to Novice captain in just three years.
Grace LeTouzel and her father Michael enjoy the skating life, but admit it’s a busy one.
“She got a lot of support from the team,” he said. Competitions bring the team all over. The novice team can only travel in Canada, but even that is exciting. So far, LeTouzel has gone to Vancouver, Quebec City and Waterloo for competitions with Les Suprêmes. Moving on to the junior or senior teams will mean travel- ling throughout the world. “The junior team is traveling to Croatia in March,” said LeTouzel. “There is also a competition for the French

Cup in France in January, and then another in Budapest later on.” Although LeTouzel spends somuch time on the ice, she still has an average of 85 per cent with her school work. “I do my homework at lunch or in the car,” explained LeTouzel, “or when I have some free time, which isn’t very often.” Tuesdays are pretty much the only day she has any free time, however she spends most of that time catching up on homework and sleep. LeTouzel’s busy schedule keeps her skating almost every day. Her school day runs from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and three days a week, she heads to Montreal for synchro practice. She also helps out with Can Skate in Hawkesbury, and does some practice on her own time as
and set new records for new Canadian no- vice record for first skate, second skate, and total score. In 2014 her team were Winterfest Champions, Quebec Provincial Champions, Canadian National Champions, and set new CanadianNovice record for first skate and total score. LeTouzel said for newcomers to just remem- ber that things will get easier. “If it’s hard in the beginning, it is going to get better if you just keep practicing.” She is very happy skating and wants to conti- nue for the foreseeable future. “I’d like to do this as a profession,” she said with a smile. “I would like to skate with the Suprêmes Seniors one day, andmaybe with the Canadian Olympic Team.”

Tips for teens
NewYear’s is a time for self-reflection and renewal, but too often for teens in Cana- da this can turn into a spiral of negative thoughts and emotions, often related to their bodies. Some teens may have made resolutions that they may not be able to keep, and others may not have the neces- sary tools or resources to start boosting their own self-esteem. Kids Help Phone has created five things a parent can do to help teach their teens that what is really important about them has nothing to do with their size, shape or
weight. Parents can create an environment that promotes self-acceptance and positive self-esteemand help young people feel com- fortable in their own skin, positively affecting their confidence, thoughts and behaviour. Communication is important. Children should know they can talk about what’s hap- pening in their lives, both good and the bad while respecting that they may not want to disclose everything. Normalize and celebrate diversity . Parents should help children understand that it can take time to adjust to the changes in their
body and that people come in all shapes and sizes. Encouraging them to accept them- selves and others the way they are is vital. Mindfulness of talk about body image and food canmake a lasting impact on children . Children learn from their parents how to relate to body image and self-acceptance. When parents are more accepting of their own body, it is easier for children to accept themselves and their own bodies as well. Taking the ‘No Year’s Resolution’ challenge together can be a step in the right direction. Educate . Television, magazines, music
videos, movies, andmarketing all influence perceptions and standards of physical beau- ty, even though many of the images they portray are unrealistic. Children should be encouraged to learn about the ways that the images they see can be digitallymanipulated and airbrushed. Teach kids about Kids Help Phone. Kids Help Phone’s professional counsellors are always available for young people ages 5 to 20 struggling with problems, big or small. Young people that need to talk can call 1-800- 668-6868 or visit www.kidshelpphone.ca.
