With school starting as early as next week in some cases, school buses will be back on the road and safety is a big concern. It is easy to become accustomed to not seeing school buses on the road, but now that the new school year is about to begin, drivers are asked to pay attention, and watch out for kids and school buses. It is dangerous, and also illegal, to pass a school bus that has its upper red lights flashing and has stopped to let children on or off, unless travelling on a road with a median. When driving on a road without a me- dian, drivers travelling in both directions must stop for a school bus with its upper red lights flashing. When driving on a road with a median, drivers are not required to stop. Drivers can be charged if they pass a stopped school bus with its upper red lights flashing with a first offense of $400 to $2,000 and six demerit points. Each following of- fence will cost $1,000 to $4,000, six demerit points and possible jail time up to six mon- ths. Vehicle owners can be charged if their vehicle illegally passes a stopped school bus, even if they weren’t driving. Vehicles that don’t stop properly for a school bus should be reported to police immediately by calling 911, or by going to the nearest police station and filing a complaint. More than 800,000 students ride in buses that safely travel almost two million kilo- metres every school day. Fatalities, which are very rare, happen more often outside the school bus as students are boarding and
leaving the bus or crossing the street. Parents can help keep their children safe by talking about bus safety with them. Student Transportation of Eastern Onta- rio (STEO) is the transportation consortium for the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) and the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB). STEOwebsite contains information on bus delays or cancelations, what to do in incle- ment weather, bus safety, student informa- Homeowners in the Forest Park area of The Nation have been advised to keep their family pets indoors at night. Residents in other rural areas of Prescott-Russell may want to consider taking that advice also. Three households in the Maple Grove Road neighbourhood have lost the family cat in the past month and there is suspi- cion that they may all have fallen victim to a fisher using the nearby Castor River as its hunting ground. All of the missing cats vanished during the night and the disappearances happened two days apart and fromhomes which have

yards backing onto the woodlands bordering the river. One resident in the area spotted what may have been a fisher near Route 400 earlier in August. Local animal control is not equipped to deal with a fisher if one is present.The name of a trapper was provided to families who have lost their cat if they wish to join toge- ther to hire him to try and catch whatever is responsible for taking their pets. Church road request The Church is asking the City to take over main- tenance responsibility for a little private road in the Bourget parish. La paroisse du Sacré-Cœur de Bourget has filed a request for the City of Clarence-Rockland to take charge of looking after the short piece of roadway behind the church, located between Dollard Street and the National Bank site. The parish request noted that the private road sees lots of community use, inclu- ding school buses dropping off and picking up students from École Sacré-Cœur. The parish also noted that the city’s snow removal crews make use of the road during snow removal on Dollard Street. City staff will review the request from the parish and present a report at a future session of city council. – Gregg Chamberlain A Christmas Show Clarence-Rockland council members were fee- ling the Christmas spirit early as they gave the nod to an administration recommendation for a change to a proposed list of local programs benefitting from the annual United Counties community discretionary grant allocation. The City of Clarence-Rockland receives $10,000 from the counties to support local community cultural events and programs. This year, the city’s grant was divided up with $5000 to the Ottawa River Festival, $3000 to Canada Day activities, $1500 for a street festival, and $500 to the local Seniors Games. Administration has since decided to use the $1500 for the street festival to an evening Christmas Show for children during this year’s Santa Claus Parade. Details of the show are in the works. – Gregg Chamberlain
