of some streams showing open water. Other rivers and creeks may still look ice-covered but the ice may now be thin in areas with “rotten” patches covered over with the new- fallen snow or wind drifted snow. Police in some communities of Eastern Ontario have also had reports of youths jumping off river banks or foot bridges over a creek to try and break the ice. This risky activity can result in someone going under and becoming trapped below the still-frozen sections of a river or creek. 50-per-cent threshold as determined by provincial legislation. Only 26 per cent of GSR residents declare English as their mother tongue. The provincial government can revoke the bilingual status if the municipality requests it. However, the municipality tries to be fair by translating most of its documents to English. “ It’s not always easy to be 50/50 due to time constraints, budget and workforce, ” said Mayor John Saywell. “ It’s the same thing for public consultations, where sometimes presenters fromQuébec just can’t do it in English. We try our best to have a bilingual policy that suits most of our citizens, but I agree that it’s not always perfect. ” With bilingualism in mind, the municipality is currently revising its
The OPP is warning people to stay off the ice now. The past weekend’s snow flurry and the below-zero temperature suggest that win- ter’s grip is not loosening up even with the official arrival of spring. But the OPP S.A.V.E. unit (Snowmobile and All-Terrain Vehicle) urge people to avoid going out on any lakes and streams in Eastern Ontario now, even if some of them still seem ice-bound. The past warmer weather has started the thawing process below the ice, with sections Some citizens of Grenville-sur-la-Rouge (GSR) were recently surprised when they received a unilingual French pamphlet along with their tax bills this year. “ We did have an English version of the pamphlet available at town hall after, but I do take the blame and it should have been sent to citizens along with the French one, ” said director general Jean-François Bertrand. “ It should have been double- checked before being sent out. ” It’s not the first time that bilingualism practices and guidelines come into question at the council table. While the municipality has maintained its bilingual designation, it no longer meets the legal
“ We can’t repeat everything in both languages since it would just take way too much time, ” said Mayor Saywell. “ But we know bilingual communication could be more efficient, more direct and clearer. That’s why we are taking steps into that direction. ”

Man charged for fraudulent cheques Hawkesbury OPP Constable Jonathan Lacelle investigated a complaint of fraudulent cheques that had been made in the town of Hawkesbury. The investigation revealed that a 21-year-old man wrote a series of cheques by using someone else’s cheques and forging the person’s signature. Twenty- one-year-old Eric Brunet of Hawkesbury was charged with two counts of fraud under $5,000, of section 380(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada. Brunet is scheduled to appear at the L’Orignal Court on April 8. Daytime thieves looking for jewellery Once again, break-ins in the Champlain area during the last week have been executed during the daytime. The burglar or burglars seem to target jewellery. The Hawkesbury OPP is investigating a break-in that occurred on Wednesday, March 25, at a Pearl Road residence in Champlain. The investigation revealed that someone broke in a door of the house sometime between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Jewellery and money were stolen. The matter is under investigation. Anyone with information about this matter is asked to contact Constable Chantal Duchesne at the Hawkesbury OPP Detachment at 613-632-2729 or 1-888-310-1122. – Diane Hunter

Pompiers : le surtemps expliquerait les salaires élevés
du dossier relève aussi de la politique, en ce sens que son département fait des recom- mandations au conseil quant à l’embauche et aux orientations à prendre et que son rôle à lui est de respecter ces consignes. Lamairesse de Hawkesbury, Jeanne Char- lebois, quant à elle, indique que le conseil se penchera sur la question en priorité. « On est au courant de la situation qui dure depuis plusieurs années et le conseil va adresser ces questions-là avec le chef Pigeon. D’ici quelques mois, on se prononcera à ce sujet. On a demandé un 18 mois et on va certai- nement adresser ce dossier là en priorité. Comme dans tous les départements, cela va faire partie de nos démarches de redres- sement. » Ci-contre, le directeur du Service des incendies de Hawkesbury, Ghislain Pigeon. Celebrating our 25 th Anniversary Célébration de notre 25 e anniversaire
CHANTAL QUIRION chantal.quirion@eap.on.ca
La liste des salaires de 100 000 $ du gouver- nement de l’Ontario, la fameuse Sunshine list, dévoilée la semaine dernière, a permis de constater des écarts majeurs entre le salaire de trois pompiers de Hawkesbury et leurs homologues de partout en province. En effet, on apprenait que le capitaine Daniel Gascon a touché un salaire de 215 571 $ en 2014, l’élevant au rang du pompier le mieux payé de l’Ontario (voir l’article intitulé Les pompiers les mieux payés de l’Ontario, publié dans Le Carillon du 1er avril). Dans lamême veine, les capitaines Michel Poulin et Yves Berniquez ont reçu 194 130 $ et 193 477 $, respectivement. En guise de compa- raison, la plupart des pompiers qui figurent sur la liste, tous rangs confondus, ont reçu un traitement variant entre 100 000 $ et 140 000 $, sauf exceptions. Pour le chef des pompiers de Hawkes- bury, Ghislain Pigeon, la nouvelle n’est pas une surprise. À l’instar des années précé- dentes, les salaires de son département ont explosé en raison de deux postes de pompier à combler au sein de son équipe, qui doit en compter cinq. C’est donc du surtemps qui explique les salaires élevés. L’échelle salariale de M. Gascon est d’environ 98 000 $ et celle de ces deux collègues de 95 000 $. M. Gascon a donc touché environ 117 571 $ en surtemps, soit le double de son salaire de base. Le problème ne date pas d’hier puisque l’un des postes était vacant depuis 2011 et l’autre depuis 2014. Selon M. Pigeon, l’em- bauche de nouveaux pompiers a été retar- dée, principalement à cause de négociations en cours et de dossiers en arbitrage pour l’établissement de la convention collective, d’une part. À moyen terme, la situation devrait se rétablir puisqu’au début de l’année, deux recrues ont joint l’équipe. Avec leur salaire de 55 000 $ chacun, les dépenses du Services des incendies devraient descendre, mais pas nécessairement au cours de la première année. « Il faut un certain temps pour les entraîner. On ne peut pas les laisser aller tout seul, comme ça », selon M. Pigeon. Cependant, si l’arrivée de recrues est une bonne nouvelle, le départ imminent des trois capitaines pourrait replonger le Ser- vice des incendies dans la même situation, à moins que des décisions préventives ne soient prises à cet effet. « Ils sont près de leur retraite alors si on attend pour embaucher, c’est un problème qu’on va revivre demain. » Selon M. Pigeon, le processus d’em- bauche est d’aumoins quatremois auxquels il faut ajouter la période d’entraînement. Toujours selonM. Pigeon, une certaine part Erratum Dans l’article intitulé Les pompiers les mieux payés de l’Ontario, publié dans Le Carillon du 1er avril 2015, nous avons in- diqué que le chef du Service des incendies de Hawkesbury Ghislain Pigeon occupait aussi le poste de chef de pompiers pour la municipalité de La Nation. Or, il est vrai que M. Pigeon a travaillé à temps partiel pendant près de 15 ans à La Nationmais son contrat s’est terminé en 2013.

Ancienne école du Christ-Roi, retour à la case départ
Une entente pour vendre l’édifice à des intérêts privés échouait par la suite au prin- temps de 2007. Depuis ce temps, les conseils municipaux successifs ont continué d’envi- sager la vente ou la démolition de la structure vacante qui a continué de se détériorer au fil des mois. En 2009, la ville avait émis des appels de propositions avec une offreminimale de 800 000 $ pour les terrains et le bâtiment. N’ayant reçu aucune offre, la municipalité revoyait alors son prix à la baisse à 350 000 $. Selon une estimation réalisée en 2007, la démo- lition de l’immeuble aurait coûté environ 350 000 $ alors qu’il aurait fallu dépenser environ 255 000 $ pour le remettre en état et considérer environ 60 000 $ annuellement pour son entretien. Le site comprend 10 acres de terrain, qui ont aussi fait l’objet d’analyses antérieu- rement. Ce terrain est le seul accès de la municipalité à la rivière des Outaouais au centre-ville. Il comprend également deux champs de balle et un terrain de soccer. Dans une présentation au conseil, l’urbaniste de la ville, Manon Belle-Isle, a par le passé fait observer que la Ville a plusieurs opportuni- tés à considérer. Elle pourrait permettre un développement résidentiel ou commercial, créer une promenade, une marina, un édi- fice public ou conserver une section de la propriété sur la rue Principale pour fournir un accès public à la rive. L’idée de détacher une bande de terrain pour en faire un sentier récréatif a aussi été soulevée.
CHANTAL QUIRION Chantal.quirion@eap.on.ca
Le conseil municipal de Hawkesbury a rejeté la proposition retenue par l’ancien conseil pour l’acquisition et l’aménage- ment du site de l’ancienne école du Christ- Roi sur la rue Main Est, par la firme Asco Construction. La mairesse de Hawkesbury, Jeanne Charlebois, n’a pas voulu commenter la teneur de la proposition, les discussions s’étant édoulée à huit clos. Elle indique par contre que le conseil aura à se pencher maintenant sur les choix qui s’offrent quant à l’avenir du bâtiment, la démolition étant parmi les options. On se rappellera qu’Asco Construction avait offert un dollar pour le terrain, justifiant cette offre en raison de l’important investis- sement qui serait requis pour aménager le site et démolir. En 2014, la Ville de Hawkesbury, à l’époque du maire René Berthiaume, avait émis un appel de propositions, invitant les intéressés à soumettre leurs projets. Seule- ment deux propositions avaient été déposées dont l’une jugée non-conforme. À la fin de l’été, le comité d’évaluation chargé d’étudier les soumissions avait recommandé d’aller de l’avant avec celle d’Asco. Selon le directeur général de l’époque, Jean-Yves Carrier, la sixième étape du pro- cessus venait d’être franchie. Les négocia-

tions commençaient alors mais les élec- tions municipales et l’arrivée d’un nouveau conseil allaient mettre les discussions en veilleuse. Avec cette prise de décision récente, c’est un retour à la case départ. Aumoment d’aller sous presse, notre journal n’a pas été en mesure de joindre le porte-parole d’Asco Construction, Anthony Assaly. Le Christ-Roi Construit en 1940, le Christ-Roi a été uti- lisé comme école jusqu’en 1980, année où l’édifice a été transféré à la Ville de Hawkes- bury pour ensuite servir de centre com-
munautaire où des organismes commu- nautaires et artistiques, dont la troupe de théâtre Le Cercle Gascon II et le Musée des Sciences naturelles de Prescott et Russell, notamment, ont logé jusqu’en 2006. Cette période a aussi connu quelques rebondissements concernant les relations entre la Ville et ses locataires, ayant formé une coopérative dans l’intervalle. On leur avait cédé le bâtiment à condition qu’ils en assurent l’entretien. En 2006, la ville a expulsé la Coopérative du Christ-Roi quand le groupe a conclu qu’il ne pourrait plus payer pour entretenir le bâtiment.
Regional health agency has new boss
GREGG CHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca
His profession is number-crunching but Jean-Pierre Boisclair has just one goal as the new head of the financial heart of Eastern Ontario’s health services setup. High-quality health care programs for the region are among his primary concerns. Boisclair is the new board chairman for the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), the regional agency that oversees financial allotments for hospitals, and the various health services for the City of Ottawa, the Five Counties region, and several other neighbouring counties. He was confirmed as chairman in early March and is working at settling in to his new post. “It’s early days, early hours even, for me being in this job,” said Boisclair during one of several media interviews he’s done du- ring the days soon after his three-year term appointment was announced. “But I really think, on the broadest level, what I’maiming for is the fastest access to quality health care in the region.The issue has to be how do they get translated to a local context.” Boisclair is a Montreal native who has lived in the Ottawa area for the past 40 years. His background is as a chartered accoun- tant and his past career record includes holding the position of vice-president and chief financial officer for the Conference Board of Canada. He’s also been president of the Canadian Comprehensive Auditing Foundation and past-chief executive offi- cer for Westhill Industries Ltd., a Canadian aerospace manufacturer. In the health services field, Boisclair is a
Jean-Pierre Boisclair, new chairman for Champlain LHIN.
former chairman of the board for the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre, past director of the Ottawa Hospital during which time he chaired the audit committee and was also on the hospital’s quality control and executive committee. All of which, along with his other community service interests, he expects will provide himwith a well-rounded and strong background for his new task. “Obviously, I’m big on financial literacy and discipline,” Boisclair said. “I’ve spent a large part of my career working with orga- nizations in the public sector. What he wants to do, during his term as Champlain LHIN chairman, is find the best ways to present the best value in public health services to communities and resi- dents.

The greenhouse will be hosting an open house, Saturday May 2, which will include guest speakers talking about everything fromgreener grass to planting an organic garden, in order to help visitors make the best of their gardening season. The greenhouse is filled with colourful flowers, and plenty of greenery giving the place a touch of spring. “Right now we are preparing for Easter with lilies, Easter cactus, hanging baskets, and lots more. It’s time to smell the flowers,” said Legault. “The people we have here are all passionate and qualified.” “I love working here with all the flowers and the greenery,” said Chantal Leclerc, employee at Legault. “For us, we get to touch spring before everybody else.

The education network has access to Ontario’s 24 public colleges, 22 public universities and 250 literary, basic skills and training providers, with more than 18,000 courses and 1,000 programs, some of which are free. “The teachers are very good,” said Saint-Amand. “They are very involved with the students. They can be reached pretty much any time.” Through online learning, students can finish their high school diploma, obtain a degree or upgrade work skills. “People don’t knowwe are here and what is available for them,” explained Saint-Amand. “There are 112 centres across Ontario including Hawkesbury, Cornwall, and Orleans.There is assistance for students as well. Some get financing through programs likeThe Second Career Program, offered by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. Some offer courses at no charge and most places offer courses to seniors for free.” Lifelong learning Saint-Amand said online learning is a great way to keep up to date with new trends, computer skills, and everything from learning a new career, to learning a new hobby. “People wonder how they will learn without a teacher in the room. But it is a lot easier than people think. There is online assistance and teachers usually get back to

email inquiries within just a few days, and sometimes just a few hours. They are there throughout the process with support and encouragement.” One of the many success stories of education through Contact North is Sara Shannon from St. Eugene. “In 2013, I enrolled in the Social Services Worker two- year program at Northern College through Contact North,” said Shannon. “I made this change because I felt that four years of studies was too intense for me at that particular time, but now I’m about to graduate with my diploma in May 2015. If it weren’t for Contact North, I would not have had the chance to get a post-secondary diploma. I am very thankful for this opportunity.” Saint-Amand is thrilled that she gets
the opportunity to help people find a new outlook and possibly a new career. “She (Shannon) hasn’t always had things easy, so more accolades for her,” said Saint-Amand. “She’s a single mom of two kids and she’s done it.” There are many other success stories of people furthering their education through Contact North. “Some colleges start courses and programs on a monthly intake,” described Saint-Amand. “Some start each semester. Whatever the case, it is always a good time to enhance your education.” More information about online learning can be found at Contact North www. contactnorth.ca, or throughMonique Saint- Amand at 1-855-650-0450.

Culinary Tourism Excellence Awards. Since 2010, the fair has represented local producers on two riverbanks with the help of the Eastern Ontario Agri-Food Network, and the Table Agroalimentaire de l’Outaouais. This year, the fair is being held in conjunction with the Ottawa River Festival in order to revitalize the activities of both events. “We are thrilled to welcome this extraordinary culinary festival to what is already a diverse celebration of the Ottawa River,” declared Guy Desjardins, Mayor of the City of Clarence-Rockland. “Now, our more than 5,000 visitors will be able to enjoy both events simultaneously.” The Ottawa River Festival runs from July 4 to 6 with three days of land and water activities along the river in Rockland, Wendover, Lefaivre, L’Orignal, Hawkesbury, and Chute-à-Blondeau.The list of programs, be available inMay.at www.facebook.com/

Champlain council wants to improve recycling efforts
Nouvel exécutif pour le Festival des couleurs de Rigaud.
Plus de six mois avant le coup d’envoi de la 18 e édition du Festival des couleurs de Rigaud, la corporation a procédé à l’élection de ses administrateurs et de son nouvel exécutif. La désignation a eu lieu en marge de l’assemblée générale annuelle de l’organisme qui se tenait le 17 mars dernier. « À la suite d’une recommandation de la munici- palité, il a été décidé de réduire le nombre de sièges disponibles sur le conseil d’administration. Ainsi, plutôt de compter 11 membres, il en compte désormais neuf », a indiqué Bertin Savard, directeur général de la corporation. Le nouvel exécutif est composé d’Isabelle Verdier-Juvien à la présidence, de Martine O’Leary à la vice-présidence, de Véronique Cunche à la trésorerie et de Marie-Claude Pilon au secrétariat.
Mayor Gary Barton is concerned that the Champlain Township is not doing a very good job when it comes to recycling. The county report from last year stated that recycling had only increased by one per-cent increase, far less than the mayor’s expectations. “We have to look at a way to get more people recycling,” saidmayor Gary Barton. “One per-cent is not enough.” Councillor Helen MacLeod suggested promoting recycling at trade shows and through the township. “I wonder if people realize how important recycling is,” said MacLeod. –(DH)

I also started a youth group here for the Canadian Cancer Society to raise awareness about cancer and the dangers of smoking.” Zehou also volunteers her time at the Champlain Library and at the Hawkesbury General Hospital. “I think it’s really important to look up to others who are excited to do good and help out,” said Zehou. “It’s really nice to be active and participate in all these activities.” Making a difference Zehou plans on going to university once high school is finished though the subject matter is still under consideration. “Early on, I was really set on becoming a pharmacist or something in health care,” explained Zehou. “I really want to make an impact. I’m not really materialistic. I just think it is really important to make a difference and keep a positive attitude while you’re doing it.” “One of the global issues I’m interested in is poverty,” Zehou said. “It’s one of the things we need to work on the most as a society. I am really glad about working with the Interact Club because we are doing just that, helping those non-profit organizations that help people.” Zehou was on stage at the We Day celebration with 19 other young people to be recognized for their local and global volunteerism. Zehou’s mother was at the ceremony to witness her daughter receive the impressive award; however, her father was in China for the funeral of Zehou’s
Zier Zehou is a local teen with big dreams and a big heart. Governor General David Johnston presented the Vankleek Hill Collegiate Institute (VCI) grade 11 student with theGovernorGeneralCaringCanadian Award in front of a cheering crowd at the We Day celebration in Ottawa on April 1. “There are no short cuts to caring,” saidHis Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston. “ You are literally changing the world. You are never too young, or too old to change the world.” Nominated by her teacher, Ilze Hillier, she never expected to win. “I really didn’t think I would win the award,” said Zehou. “At first I was really shocked when I received the email saying I had won. I needed time to process. I thought maybe it was a joke, since it was being awarded on April Fools’ day.” Zehou was born in China and moved to Canada when she was just two years old. She lived in Toronto, and then in a small town nearThunder Bay before relocating to Vankleek Hill. She went to Pleasant Corners Public School before attending VCI. At VCI, she has joined several clubs and has made a big difference in her community. “I am part of the Interact Club, and the Eco Club,” explained Zehou. “We had an Eco-Carnival last week to raise money for a water bottle filling fountain and to raise awareness.

My parents, my teachers, the people in the Interact Club and other clubs I belong to are all so wonderful.”
Zehou hopes to motivate other teens to get involved in making positive changes in the world. “I hope I motivate people,” she said. “I think it’s really important to try to motivate others to take action. If you get the first one motivated, others will follow.”

to enrich the community where they live, and for a love of choral music. Recently, the men’s choir was formed to expand the scope of music performed. Based in Vankleek Hill, members come from Ontario and Quebec. The Choir director Uwe Lieflander, originally from Germany, teaches music at our Lady of Wisdom Academy in Barry’s Bay and is music director at Martin Luther Lutheran Church in Ottawa and SacredMusic Society, of which he is also the founder. Maestro Lieflander trained at Regensburg Academy of ChurchMusic until he came to Canada at the age of 17. He continues to study at the Royal Conservatory of Music as well as York University in Toronto. The choir welcomes new members to audition in September and, as a registered charity, always welcomes donations.

Une campagne pour la vie!
Joignez-vous à la lutte contre le cancer
G RS SANITATION INC. 5520, ch. de Comté 14 Saint-Eugène, ON K0B 1P0 Tél. : 613 674-1628 • Téléc. : 613 674-1627 • En achetant des jonquilles vendues à cet effet; • En vous procurant et en portant l’épin- glette jonquille en signe de solidarité; • En participant aux événements organisés localement; C ancer... Voilà un mot que tous redoutent, et pour cause : environ deux Canadiens sur cinq développeront un cancer au cours de leur vie, et environ un sur quatre en mour- ra. Voilà pourquoi chaque année, en avril, se tient la campagne nationale de collecte de fonds de la Société canadienne du cancer, dans le cadre du Mois de la jonquille. Pour l’occasion, l’organisme invite la popula- tion canadienne à faire un geste spécial pour les personnes touchées par la maladie. Il est d’ailleurs possible de soutenir la cause de diverses façons, notamment :
L e cancer est la principale cause de décès au pays : environ 30 % des Canadiens et Canadiennes meurent de l’un ou l’autre des types de cancers. En avril, Mois de la jon- quille, la Société canadienne du cancer invi- te donc la population à penser à tous ceux et celles qui sont touchés par cette maladie et à faire un geste concret pour lutter contre le cancer. Malgré les progrès réalisés — le taux de survie est maintenant de 63 % —, le cancer demeure la principale cause de décès au pays. Ainsi, durant tout le mois d’avril, des activités de financement sont organisées pour prévenir le cancer et pour financer la recherche afin qu’un jour nous remportions la victoire contre cette maladie qui fauche chaque jour 210 Canadiens. Vous pouvez contribuer à la lutte contre le cancer en achetant une gerbe de jonquilles, symbole d’espoir et de courage. Vous pou- vez aussi porter l’épinglette jonquille en signe de solidarité envers ceux qui se bat- tent pour leur vie ainsi qu’envers leur entou- rage et celui de ceux qui ont malheureu- sement perdu leur combat. Vous pouvez également donner du temps, faire un don ou amasser des fonds.
• En organisant une collecte de fonds; • En faisant du bénévolat.
Enfin, vous pouvez lutter contre le can- cer en prenant soin de votre santé et en réduisant au minimum vos risques de développer cette maladie. Si vous n’avez aucun contrôle sur votre âge et vos gênes, vous pouvez gérer nombre de fac- teurs de risque : tabac, alcool, sédentari- té, stress, exposition au soleil, etc. Pour en savoir davantage sur le cancer ou sur les activités organisées durant le Mois de la jonquille, visitez le www.cancer.ca.
Les montants recueillis contribueront à soutenir les activités de la Société cana- dienne du cancer telles que la préven- tion, le financement de la recherche et la revendication de politiques publiques en vue d’améliorer la santé des Canadiens. POURQUOI LA JONQUILLE? Dans les années 1950, un groupe de bénévo- les de la Société amis sur pied des thés-béné- fices dans la Ville Reine, où les tables étaient ornées de jonquilles. Cela donna l’idée à des membres de vendre ces fleurs pour engen- drer des revenus supplémentaires.
