Supreme Court says: No more prayers at council

open its meetings. Mayor Jeanne Charlebois noted that there is no specific mention of God in the prayer and she does not believe it goes against the Supreme Court’s ruling argument. «I would say it’s more a reflection before we start the meeting,» she said during a Wednesday phone interview, noting that she has never heard any complaints about the practice. «But I’ll bring it to council. It’s up to council to amend the procedural bylaw.» Prior to the Supreme Court ruling, Rus- sell Township council had considered two options for revising its procedural bylaw during its April 13 committee of the whole session. One was to retain the brief prayer offered at the start of council meetings.The other was to replace it with a short statement of values for guiding council members in their decisions. Council decided to retain the prayer but the revised procedures bylaw does not take effect until April 21 so there is time for more review and revisions if council chooses. Mayor Leroux, during an interview Wednesday, noted that council may discuss the situation somemore during its next regu- lar session April 20. «We’re going to have administration contact legal,» he said. «But ours was a non- denominational prayer. It will be a decision of council how they want to proceed with it.» Other mayors were unavailable for com- ment at press time. Eight-year legal battle Alain Simoneau, a Saguenay resident,
Prayers have no place at municipal council meetings, at least not in public. That is the latest ruling on the subject from the Supreme Court of Canada. Many municipal councils in Eastern Ontario, including several in Prescott-Rus- sell along with the counties council, offer up a brief prayer for guidance as part of their normal opening ceremony. But the Supreme Court of Canada issued a ruling April 15 against the practice, in response to an eight-year legal battle that began in Saguenay, QC, against the practice of that municipal council of opening its sessions with a 30-second prayer. It’s a decision that now leaves local muni- cipal councils and the counties council with the question whether to drop prayer altoge- ther from the official openings of their public meetings, or replace it with somethingmore generic, neutral and inoffensive. Stéphane Parisien, chief administrator for the United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR), is now scratching his head over the whole situation. “Our prayer does not relate to any particu- lar religion,” said Parisien during aWednes- day afternoon phone interview. “I’mnot sure what we’re going to do.” Parisien noted that the Association of Municipalities of Ontario may issue a directive or recommendation on the issue. Hawkesbury council has a brief prayer to
When themayors of Prescott-Russell gather for counties council sessions, they always open the meeting with a brief, neutral prayer. The question now is whether even that is allowed under a recent Supreme Court of Canada ruling.
began the court battle with a complaint at first about themayor and councillors praying in public at city hall. He also complained about the presence of several religious sym- bols in the building, including a standard ornamental crucifix and also a SacredHeart of Jesus icon. The case continued to the Supreme Court of Canada. The court issued its ruling on April 15, stating that elected officials do not have the right to recite prayers at munici- pal council meetings and that Saguenay mayor Jean Tremblay was promoting his own religious beliefs to the detriment of
others, which does breach the responsibility of the municipality or any other version of the State to remain neutral. The Supreme Court has ordered the prac- tice of prayer at publicmeetings of council in Saguenay to stop and for the city andMayor Tremblay to pay Simoneau $33,200 in com- pensatory damages, punitive damages, and costs. The court chose not to make a ruling regarding the presence of religious symbols in municipal buildings and just limit the scope of its ruling to the issue of prayer at public council meetings.

Residents want gas on Pattee Road
lable in East Hawkesbury, but the com- pany does have plans to work with the government in expanding their services. “Right nowwe are looking at future plans,” she said. “Pattee Road is not on our cur- rent plan.” Bruckmueller said residents can voice their concerns to the energy board secretary at IndustryRelations@ ontarioenergyboard.ca Mayor Kirby suggested that each resident write a letter to their local MP Pierre Lemieux, and MPP Grant Crack to explain the situation and request that something be done. “Write letters to Mr. Crack,” said Kirby. “Themore people that write letters the better. It’s going to take everyone to make a change. It is better if each person writes a letter, rather than one letter with a lot of names.” “If we all work together, perhaps we will get results,” said Simon Rozon, East Hawkesbury council member. Kirby ex- plained the letter should be to the point and polite, and can be written in French or English. “We are bilingual here,” said Kirby. “You can write in whatever lan- guage you want. Tell them we are at an economic disadvantage because of this. Spread the message. It is important for us. It is important for everyone.” According to EcoHearth.com, natural gas is more environmentally friendly; however, it is a non-renewable resource and, at the current rate of consumption, there is about 100 years of reserves avai- lable. They do say that wood and pellet stoves are surprisingly eco-friendly and are a renewable resource.The cost is also less than heating with fossil fuels.

mayor, but there are no plans to expand there at this time. The most we can do is work with the Energy Board. They are the ones who regulate who gets gas and when.” Gilles Pellerin, who spoke for the Pat- tee Road group, said heating costs have become astronomical. “Why is it that a house of 1,100 square feet on Pattee Road will cost $750 amonth to heat with Hydro,” he asked. “And a house in L’Ori- gnal with 1,200 square feet that heats with natural gas pays $83 a month for gas, and $2,000 a year for Hydro? That’s a big difference. Why do people pay four times the amount in the same province?” The group was perplexed and concer- ned at the costs they are being forced to pay, simply to live comfortably. “I agree. It’s not fair,” said East Hawkesburymayor Robert Kirby. “There are a lot of people on
the list requesting natural gas. Hawkesbu- ry has a contract with Enbridge, but East Hawkesbury does not.” Mayor Kirby ex- plained that several mayors fromaround the area met in February at the Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus to discuss is- sues such as natural gas. He stated that other municipalities are able to access natural gas; however, East Hawkesbury is still on the waiting list and he feels it is unfair. “Some people have been trying to sell their house on Pattee Road, but they can’t,” exclaimed Pellerin. “Some have had their home on the market for three years, but no one wants to buy. They are good homes, but they are heated with electricity. No one wants that, it’s too expensive.” Bruckmueller said she could not give a time line as to when gas might be avai-
Certain Pattee Road residents find the cost of electricity simply too high. They want natural gas. More than 20 people sauntered into the tiny East Hawkesbury town council office April 13 to discuss the issues of high heating costs in the area. During the regular town council meeting, residents of Pattee Road voiced their concerns with the high cost of hydro, and the lack of availability of natural gas on Pattee Road. Tanya Bruckmueller, communications and media spokesperson for Enbridge, stated that there is not currently a plan in place for expansion on Pattee Road. “We did receive a number of requests, but nothing formal yet,” stated Bruckmueller. “There have been discussions with the

Court house security costs dear
GREGG CHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca
through the OntarioMunicipal Partner- ship Fund to help cover some of the court house security expense, but that still leaves more than $100,000 added to this year’s municipal budget. Champlain’s mayor noted that last year the township was responsible for about a $10,000 share of the court secu- rity bill because other municipalities in Prescott-Russell contributed on a per capita basis through their policing service bills. He noted that last year Hawkesbury’s share of the court security was about $58,000 while Alfred-Plan- tagenet Township, a rural community close in population size to neighbouring Champlain Township, contributed about $11,000. Barton asked the counties council to look into a new cost-sharing plan for court house security. He suggested one possiblemethod with a per capita charge for all municipalities of $1 per person based on their population totals. Most of the mayors on counties council expressed sympathy for Cham- plain Township’s situation and agreed that the UCPR finance department look into the situation and report back on possible solutions during a futuremee- ting.
Champlain Township’s mayor went “hat in hand” to counties council to ask his fellowmayors for some help. Mayor Gary Barton asked if the other seven municipalities in the United Counties of Prescott-Russell would be willing to go back to sharing the cost for security at the provincial court house in L’Orignal. That was how the system used to work when all the UCPR’s muni- cipalities contributed to court security through their police service billing. But the provincial government changed to a new billingmethod for municipalities which contract with the OPP for policing; so now financial responsibility for court security rests with Champlain Township because the court house is located wit- hin that municipality. «I’m looking for some generosity on the part of my fellowmayors,» said Bar- ton. «When they (province) changed the police billingmodel, we got all the court costs. We are saddled with court security costs of about $172,000.» Barton noted that adding to the town- ship’s expenses is the arrival of a letter from the OPP billing department of ano- ther potential $40,000 addition to the municipality’s cost. The township will get a $67,000 grant from the province
Security for the provincial court house in L’Orignal is all on the financial shoulders of Champlain Township now.

MP Pierre Lemieux concerned about Hawkesbury Legion
MP Pierre Lemieux concerned about Hawkesbury Legion MP Pierre Lemieux recently attended the general meeting of the Hawkesbury branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. Lemieux, who is a member of this branch, expressed concern about the present situation. He explained that, in his new position as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Veterans Affairs, he has traveled across the country from coast to coast to meet with veterans and found that many Legions are facing the same issues as Hawkesbury. Lemieux also gave a very interesting slide presentation explaining the new packages his government has implemented in helping veterans and their families. The Legion’s service officer, Peter Duncan, and the veterans appreciated the opportunity to get answers to their questions first hand. The next general meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, May 19, which will mark the end of the term for the present executive committee. Members will be asked to nominate and vote for their choice of a new executive committee.

Champlain budget still not ratified The Champlain town council met on April 3 to discuss, among other things, the budget. Talks of road repairs, raising taxes, and security court costs were discussed, but still not agreed upon. “Our budget is not passing tonight,” said Champlain Mayor Gary Barton. “It will be postponed until the May meeting.” The budget will be discussed at the next regular meeting, May 13 at 7 p.m. – Diane Hunter It looks like temporary car shelters, or tempos, will be able to stay up just a bit longer in the Champlain Township this year. With the cold hanging on, some shelters are impossible to take down at the moment, so Champlain Town Council has agreed to extend the April 15 deadline to April 30. “Some people need a bit of an extension for their tempos,” said Helene MacLeod, councillor. “Some people can’t even get the plastic off because it is still frozen.” During the town council meeting on April 8, Mayor Gary Barton said the town would be willing to let it go until the end of the month. Bylaw 2007-75 states that temporary garages must be taken down by April 15. Bylaw officers will be informed that the temporary shelters have an extension this year. – Diane Hunter

Dunkel Buck! Drink your wild oats!
Beau’s Brewery is bringing back theirWild Oats Series beer. Dunkel Buck was first brewed in 2011 and will soon be available in liquor stores across the province this spring.The beer is a dunkel weizenbock, a strong, dark version of a tradi- tional Bavarian wheat beer.The term “bock” indicates that is was brewed higher in alco-
pairing Dunkel Buck with fare such as cur- ry-rubbed chicken wings on the BBQ with tamarind; ginger/dunkel dipping sauce; marmalade, mustard & clove-glazed smoked ham; and Glengarry Figaro or Chaource style cheeses; but he also adds that with its mocha, clove and banana flavours/aromas, Dunkel Buck has the distinction of being

hol than a standard interpretation of the weizen style. In a “dunkel” weizen- bock the addition of a variety of darker malts produces a beer with rich amber and brown hues. Beau’s has crea- tedmore than 50 dif- ferent beers so far for their Wild Oats Se- ries, which is dedica- ted to exploring the bold flavours and exciting aromas of challenging styles of
a great beer to pair with dessert. Chef Bruce’s signature recipe for “Dunkel Buck Banana Bread” is available online at beaus.ca/recipes.

CHANTAL QUIRION chantal.quirion@eap.on.ca
les cabanes à sucres qui servent des repas mais qui ne produisent pas de sirop mais qu’il travaille aussi pour ouvrir un marché d’exportation en France. « Peut-être bien que notre sirop de Prescott et Russell pourrait se retrouver en France. Je ne m’attendais pas à ce que les Comtés unis m’aident avec la promotion alors, c’est tant mieux. » Avec ce nombre d’entailles, M. Levac passe dans les ligues majeures de la pro- duction est-ontarienne, lamajorité des pro- ducteurs de la région ayant en moyenne 1000 entailles. Néanmoins, il peut faire face à lamusique aisément à cause de son équi- pement à la fine pointe de la technologie, en commençant par un système d’osmose inversé qui lui permet de concentrer les sucres dans une partie d’eau beaucoup moins élevée avant de bouillir. Le temps d’évaporation est par conséquent 90 %moins long et il peut bouillir jusqu’à 3000 gallons à l’heure. « Tout est ultra-moderne. Ce qui coule dans une journée, je peux le bouillir en six heures. » S’il fabrique un peu de tire et de beurre d’érable, M. Levac indique qu’il n’a pas en- core eu le temps de s’attaquer à l’idée de la transformation. Pour l’instant, il préfère se concentrer sur le sirop.
Une section de 50 hectares de la Forêt Larose, dans le secteur de l’ancien village de Lemieux, est maintenant louée pour ses qualités d’érablière. L’homme d’affaires Jean-Marc Levac, dont la cabane à sucre, à Riceville, fait l’en- vie de plusieurs, a conclu une entente avec les Comtés qui lui permettront pour les 15 prochaines années de récolter l’eau d’érable des 8400 entailles louées qui s’ajoutent aux 4500 de sa propre érablière. L’homme, qui s’adonne à l’acériculture depuis 1985 et qui est tout autant connu pour son entreprise de gaz propane, a investi environ 300 000 $ pour installer le système de tubulure dans son nouveau terrain de jeu. « J’ai commencé pour le fun avec une cinquantaine d’entailles puis c’est devenu une maladie, un peu comme le gars qui joue au golf. J’aime le côté familial. Il y a toujours du monde qui passe, des voisins, des amis, mes frères, mes sœurs (je suis le plus jeune d’une famille de onze enfants), et puis mes deux fils, Étienne et Christian, qui travaillent avecmoi le jour viennent aussi le soir à la cabane. » Les deux parties sont satisfaites donc puisque les Comtés unis, pour leur part, profiteront des revenus de location, soit environ 6300 $ par année. « Ça permet de tirer un petit revenu d’une parcelle qui ne serait pas utilisée autrement.
Des représentants des Comtés unis de Prescott et Russell (CUPR) ont rencontré Jean- Marc Levac à sa cabane à sucre de Riceville. Ci-dessus, le directeur général des CUPR Stéphane Parisien, lemaire de La Nation François St-Amour, l’acériculteur Jean-Marc Levac, le directeur de l’Urbanisme et de la foresterie aux CUPR Louis Prévost et le maire d’Alfred-Plantagenet, FernandDicaire. Les deuxmaires présents sont membres du comité d’urbanisme et de foresterie aux Comtés unis.
Mais on ne le fait pas tellement pour l’argent. Ce projet représente une grande fierté de savoir que des produits de la forêt seront exploités par un acériculteur local et que ceux-ci sont vendus un peu partout », a indi- qué Louis Prévost, directeur de l’Urbanisme et de la Foresterie des CUPR. L’inspiration pour ce partenariat date de 2013, lorsqu’un processus de soumissions a
été effectué par les CUPR et plusieurs acé- riculteurs avaient été invités à soumettre une proposition. M. Levac, qui avait amené l’idée originalement, est le seul à avoir posé sa candidature. « Un partenariat comme celui-ci, entre notremajestueuse Forêt Larose et un entre- preneur local, est précisément ce que nous visons en terme de développement écono- mique régional », amentionné de son coté le président du conseil des CUPR, Robert Kirby, également maire de Hawkesbury Est. « M. Levac fournit en sirop plusieurs cabanes à sucre et commerçants à travers la région, et c’est également lui qui a fourni l’eau d’érable à Cassel Brewery en 2013 pour leur bière d’érable, gagnante du Prix de la première ministre pour l’excellence en innovation agroalimentaire! », a-t-il souligné avec fierté. Aussi, les Comtés unis, qui ont participé au développement d’un logo pour identifier les produits de Prescott et Russell, logo qui fait tranquillement son apparition dans les tablettes des supermarchés, se réjouissent à l’idée de le voir apposer sur les produits de M. Levac. Avec une production qui devrait appro- cher les 9000 litres annuellement, Jean-Marc Levac indique qu’il continuera à écouler une partie de sa production en vrac pour

Un coup de pouce du fédéral pour l’entrepreneuriat
Les entrepreneurs francophones de l’Est ontarien seront appuyés par l’Initiative de développement économique (IDE) qui se traduira notamment par une injection de 1,1 million de dollars pour soutenir la croissance économique dans Prescott et Russell. Le député de Glengarry-Prescott-Rus- sell, Pierre Lemieux, en a fait l’annonce, ce mardi 14 avril, au Collège d’Alfred. Précisons d’emblée que le programme IDE est destiné à favoriser la croissance économique et la création d’emplois au sein des communau- tés de langue officielle en situation mino- ritaire et s’inscrit dans les efforts déployés par l’agence fédérale de développement économique pour le sud de l’Ontario (Fed- Dev Ontario). Ainsi, le gouvernement fédéral, sous Fed- Dev Ontario, contribuera jusqu’à concur- rence de 934 665 $ à la Société de dévelop- pement communautaire de Prescott-Russell, afin qu’elle offre un programme coordonné de développement de l’entrepreneuriat et des entreprises, de concert avec l’Académie entrepreneuriale de Prescott Russell. L’Académie entrepreneuriale de Prescott- Russell recevra également jusqu’à 250 000 $, par l’intermédiaire du volet des projets col- laboratifs du Programme de développement de l’est de l’Ontario (PDEO) afin de soutenir la croissance de secteurs économiques clés de l’est de l’Ontario. « L’investissement record dans le dévelop- pement économique de Prescott et Russell rappelle clairement que le gouvernement se concentre sur la création d’emplois et de possibilités pour les gens de la région, a déclaré M. Lemieux. Je vais continuer à me concentrer sur la création d’emploi et à donner aux résidents les outils d’affaires dont ils ont besoin pour réussir » La SDCPR coordonnera les activités de projet, les services de conseils aux entre- prises, la formation et le mentorat. L’Aca- démie entrepreneuriale de Prescott-Russell aidera à la gestion du projet et son réseau d’entrepreneurs offrira des services de mentorat et de formation. Ces investisse- ments important soutiendront les besoins des entrepreneurs avec l’offre de services de conseils aux entreprises, de mentorat, d’activités de formation et d’accès à du capital pour mettre en œuvre des idées d’affaires. « Les contributions financières annon- cées aujourd’hui montrent de nouveau que le gouvernement du Canada est réellement déterminé à demeurer axé sur l’économie, les emplois et la prospérité dans les collecti- vités de l’est et du sud de l’Ontario. Le soutien concret du gouvernement à l’endroit de la Société de développement communautaire (SDC) de Prescott Russell donne de nouveau aujourd’hui un élan à la création d’emplois durables », a réagi Sylvain Charlebois, pré- sident de la Société de développement com- munautaire de Prescott Russell. « Notre organisation, qui a obtenu une subvention pour offrir des services de for- mation, d’encadrement et de mentorat, est fière d’avoir le privilège de travailler en par- tenariat avec la SDC de Prescott Russell afin d’assurer la croissance économique des en- trepreneurs et des entreprises francophones de l’est de l’Ontario », a fait valoir pour sa part Denis Charlebois, président de l’Académie entrepreneuriale de Prescott-Russell

Every week, approximately 80 tons of materials are recycled at Recyle – Action in Hawkesbury. However the company does
more than help to clean up the planet. Recyle-Action is part of Groupe Convex, which is a branch of Valoris, and is a non-profit organization that develops and maintains social businesses creating meaningful jobs that develop skills development. These businesses that are located throughout Prescott- Russell help to
to see their friends and they don’t get to keep busy for a few days.” People who lack know-how and skills are also hired. “We also hire people who might not have any experience anywhere. We train them, and then they go on to be part of the work force,” said Lessard. “Most companies hire people who already have the knowledge
employ people that may face employment challenges. “The basic idea started with Valoris to help clients with work placements,” said Robert Lessard, operations director at Recycle-Action. “We create businesses for these clients and give them jobs that help them develop skills and get experience.” Recycle-Action employs about a dozen full-time ‘regular-Joe’ employees, as Lessard calls them, as well as another 45 employees that might have difficulty finding
and training. We do it the opposite way here. We hire employees with their needs inmind. If we don’t have a job for them, we create something.” Recycle-Action was founded in 2008 after Marc-Andre Labelle, owner of Gray Hawk, suggested to Carole Arcand, executive director of Groupe Convex, that businesses in the community needed a cardboard recovery service. Since that time, the company has grown and evolved to meet the needs of

the community, as well as the needs of the employees and the environment. It has become a leader in recycling and recovery in Eastern Ontario, recycling such products as electronics, plastics and even Styrofoam. Recycle-Action recently received the OK to work with the township to recover agricultural plastics such as baling plastics, the plastic used to cover bales of hay. In the past, farmers would either bury or burn these plastics, leaving a huge impact on the surrounding environment. “We have about 500 farmers in the area,” explained Lessard. “That’s a lot of plastic.This is a pilot project. We are trying to help as much as possible,
and it’s a free service. It’s not worth a lot of money, but we are doing it to keep things clean. It’s very popular.” Amongst other things, Recycle-Action donates $1 per ton of recycled materials to local youth programs. “Last year, we donated about $1,500 to Pleasant Corners Public School,” said Lessard. “Any youth group, like scouts and sports groups, can apply, not just schools. We haven’t decided for this year yet, but it’s coming up.” More information about Groupe Convex and Recycle-Action, what they do, and how they do it, can be found at http://www. groupeconvexpr.ca/.
