The main con- tent of the emails concerned an alleged plan to force Daniel Gatien, then chief ad- ministrative officer for the City of Clarence- Rockland, out of office. Lalonde faces an additional charge of counselling to commit breach of trust.

Plans are progressing for a parade of pick- et signs to greet council members prior to their first meeting of the autumn season. Robert Gadoua, one of the representa- tives for the movement, reported satisfac- tion at the number of people promising to be outside the Bourget Community Centre Monday evening, Oct. 7, for a protest rally before the start of the committee of the whole council session at 7:15 p.m. “We’re at about 125 confirmed,” Gadoua said during a phone interview Oct. 1, “and that’s just from one location.” Gadoua noted that most of the confirmed protest attendees have signed on through les Citoyens de Clarence-Rockland Citizens page on Facebook.

HAWKESBURY | They’re called Matthew’s Mud Dogs and they need your help. Const. Jean-François Meloche at the Hawkesbury OPP detachment and his bud- dies from the OPP East Region Emergency Response Team are on the run this weekend in the Sears Great Canadian Run fundraiser for children’s cancer research and treat- ment. On Oct. 5 they and other teams of runners throughout Canada will run 100-ki- lometre relays. The route for the Mud Dogs is from Ottawa down to Lefaivre and then across the Ottawa River to finish up in Mon- tebello, QC. The Mud Dogs teamed up three years ago
“The team is looking forward to taking the challenge again this year,” said Const. Meloche. Their first year out the Mud Dogs raised about $15,000 for childhood cancer re- search. Their second time the tally was close to $10,000. This year they hope to make at least $10,000 again and better if they can.
