!e 2015 federal election campaign has been one of the longest in recent memory for many Canadians, stretching close to 80 days through mid-summer and into mid-October. !e lengthy campaign has allowed all candidates time to explain their positions and their parties’ policies on a wide variety of issues and concerns, both local and national. Now it is up to the voters in the "nal few days leading up to Election Day Monday to decide who they will support on Oct. 19. Francis Drouin, Liberal Francis Drouin spent his elementary school days inHawkesbury and high school in Vankleek Hill, before attending Cité col- legiale in Ottawa for business administra- tion studies, followed by a business degree from the University of Ottawa. Now living in Rockland, he was employed with the provin- cial government for several years as a special assistant with the premier’s o!ce before joining the private sector as a consulting expert in government relations for a public relations "rm. He has sat on the administra- tive council for La Cité and provided advisory expertise in government relations for Startup Canada. During his election campaign he has talked often about the country’s "nan- cial and economic issues during the current recession and has stated that the federal government must invest in local infrastruc- ture to help kick-start the economy. Normand Laurin, NDP Normand Laurin is a consulting expert on

information technology who also enjoys tea- ching piano. During his free time he works with non-pro"t groups like the Council of Canadians to promote fair trade, “green” energy, public health care, and the working principles of democracy. Born and educated inMontréal, including studies in information technology science at O’Sullivan College, he moved to Vankleek Hill about 20 years ago. During the course of the campaign, he has been preoccupied with the issues facing the region’s aging population, and also highlighted the need for more invest- ment in renewable energy. Pierre Lemieux, Conservative Pierre Lemieux began his past military career as a 17-year-old o!cer cadet at the Royal Military College in Kingston, gradua- ting with a mechanical engineering diplo- ma and a Master’s degree in science. After serving 20 years in the Canadian Armed Forces, he retired from active duty with a lieutenant-colonel’s rank and went into the private sector using his expertise as a cer- ti"ed engineer before making the decision to enter politics. He was elected as MP for the "rst time in 2006 and has represented the Conservative government since then in Glengarry-Prescott-Russell. During the past years he has been an MP, he has also held the posts of parliamentary secretary for O!cial languages, Agriculture, and Veterans A#airs. $roughout the campaign, he has defended the past decisions and also the policies, past and present, of the Harper

Lemieux has also defended his own work representing the riding, with such achievements, for example, as brin- ging in about $29 million worth of federal investment to Glengarry-Prescott-Russell through various government grants and pro- grams which have supported local economic development and job creation.

palities with much-needed investment in Glengarry-Prescott-Russell.» Drouin cited his experience working with Startup Canada for understanding the needs of local entrepreneurs and a job-focused business climate. «We need to strengthen the entrepre- neurship culture in Canada,» he said. «I’m happy that we are committed to providing $200 million every year to spur innovation

helping local governments reduce their infrastructure budget burden involves inc- reasing the annual federal gas tax subsidy to municipalities by a cent a litre. «We will create 54,000 jobs in construc- tion, manufacturing and transit operations across Canada,» he said. «"e NDP is com- mitted to helping small cities and towns o$er more transit options and providing long-term investment for roads, bridges and vital infrastructure. We’d transfer the funds straight to cities and small towns so projects get o$ the ground sooner.» Laurin emphasized the party’s economic strategy also covers the agricultural sector. «Small farms are also an integral part of the local economy of GPR,» he stated. «We will maintain the integrity of our supply-ma- naged egg, dairy, and poultry sectors and the rural incomes they support. We will ensure that rural livelihoods are real livelihoods by investing in rural economies, expanding business risk management programs, and supporting new and young farmers. We will provide for an innovative and high value-ad- ded food processing sector, to expand local markets for farmers while creating skilled jobs for regional economies. «My priority has been to strengthen the local economies of our communities,» stated Pierre Lemieux, incumbent Conservative MP. «We need a strong and robust business sector to o$er the services that the people of our communities require and to create local jobs. To this end I have worked with local businesses and associations to announce almost $29million in federal funding to help

strengthen small and medium businesses and create jobs throughout the riding. I will continue these successful initiatives if re- elected.» "e MP also cited Conservative govern- ment policies for lowering small business tax rates and keeping «payroll taxes such as Employment Insurance premiums and CPP premiums low» so that businesses then havemoremoney to invest in improvements and expansion. «"is is a winning recipe for economic growth and job creation within our com- munities,» Lemieux stated. «Our low tax initiatives for businesses have resulted in 1.3 million net new jobs being created in Canada, thousands of which were created right here in GPR.» «"e Green Party supports small and medium-size businesses,» stated Gene- viève Malouin-Diraddo. «We would put small businesses !rst by reducing red tape for business owners and enacting ‘"ink Small First’ legislation, which would ensure that new federal laws and regulations would enhance, rather than hinder, an economic environment where local businesses and entrepreneurs can thrive.» Malouin-Diraddo targeted infrastructure as critical for business growth and success. «We would provide funding to improve infrastructure so that businesses can thrive and provide better means to deliver goods and services,» she said. «We would help with the expansion of broadband Internet to promote media and online sales.»

Jobs and economic development remain key issues in the election for most Cana- dians. In the !nal week leading up to Election Day Monday, EAP posed this question concerning economic development and job creation to the four main candidates

What kind of speci!c help or support can the federal government, through YOUR party, provide this riding?

Francis Drouin, the Liberal candidate noted that the unemployment rate in Glen- garry-Prescott-Russell is 8.7 per cent, almost two per cent above the national average. «It’s unacceptable,» he stated. «A Tru- deau-led government will nearly double federal infrastructure investment to al- most $125 billion, compared to the current (Conservative) $65 billion, over the next decade. "is historic new investment will strengthen the middle class, create jobs, grow our economy, and provide munici-

My job will be to sit down with local mayors, economic development o#cers, entrepreneurs, and other stake- holder groups to identify priority projects to get them funded through this program.» «"e federal government must become a partner in infrastructure and transit,» decla- red Normand Laurin of the NDP. «"e NDP has a clear plan to work with provinces, territories and municipalities to invest in public transit and core local infrastructure.» Laurin noted that the NDP strategy for

attendre pour faire leur devoir de citoyen. » Malgré des délais lors de certaines pé- riodes d’achalandage, le vote s’est bien dé- roulé. Quelques électeurs masqués ont fait tourner les têtes à Hawkesbury et L’Orignal, mais cela n’a pas a$ecté le déroulement des journées de vote. Lors des dernières élections en 2011, 9781 personnes avaient voté par anticipation, soit 16,85 % du total des voix. « Il y a une hausse, mais il ne faut pas oublier que les gens avaient quatre jours pour voter comparativement à trois lors des dernières élections », a rajouté Mme Lanthier. Cette fois, 84 340 électeurs sont appelés aux urnes et le vote par anticipation repré- sente déjà 18 % de ce nombre. En 2011, 84 347 électeurs étaient inscrits sur la liste et le vote par anticipation avait atteint 11,5 %.

Tout comme dans le reste du pays, où le nombre de votes par anticipation a atteint de nouveaux sommets, les électeurs de Glengarry-Prescott-Russell se sont dépla- cés en grand nombre du 9 au 12 octobre pour faire leur choix décisif. En e$et, 15 370 citoyens ont voté à tra- vers la circonscription, causant des temps d’attente dans certains bureaux. « Oui, il y a eu de l’attente, mais c’est comme quand vous allez à la banque, a indiqué la directrice de scrutin au bureau central de Hawkesbury, Murielle "érèse Lanthier. Il n’y a pas eu d’incident, sauf un monsieur à Rockland qui s’est fâché car il devait attendre. Mais quand il y a 5000 personnes en une journée qui vont voter, il se peut que les gens doivent

que nous voulons négocier avec respect et non pas des menaces, a indiqué le porte-pa- role syndical Sylvain Lecompte. Les récentes signatures dans les autres municipalités et celles aux comtés unis donnent 2 % d’aug- mentation par année et c’est ce que nous demandons. La Ville nous o"re 0,75 % par année et ne veut pas regarder nos autres o"res. Ça n’avance pas, il n’y a pas de direc- teur général et ils ne veulent étudier que leurs propres demandes. » Du côté de la Ville, lamairesse est demeu-

rée prudente, indiquant que la Ville « est à la table des négociations » pour trouver un terrain d’entente. Le 14 octobre, les employés ont sorti des pancartes avec le mot respect en grosses lettres et ont marché devant l’hôtel de ville, remettant des tracts aux automobilistes sur la rue Higginson. « C’est de la négociation de mauvaise fois et nous avons fait des plaintes au ministère du Travail, a rajouté Sylvain Lecompte. Lesmembres sont tannés. Per- sonne ne veut s’asseoir avec nous-autres. » Quant à la possibilité d’une grève, la Ville n’a pas voulu commenter et Syl- vain Lecompte a indiqué qu’une telle action pourrait toucher les services cet hiver s’il n’y a pas la nomination d’un médiateur ou une ouverture à la table des négociations.

Sans convention collective depuis la !n du mois de mars 2014, les 52 employés de la Ville de Hawkesbury, représentés par le Syndicat canadien de la fonction publique, ont haussé le ton cette semaine avec une manifestation devant l’hôtel de ville et un vote de 98 % en faveur d’une grève si les négociations continuent de stagner. « C’est unemanifestation pour démonter

every year,” said Faucons head coach Shawn Anderson. “As a player, you need to "nd a way to "t into that.” At Canisius, the Faucons met with assistant coach Scott Moser, a Gri#n alumnus with a hockey mind and the "nger on the industry’s pulse. Cani- sius’ vision is one of excellence, with a thriving program high on talent and deter- mination. A full scholarship (full ride) at Canisius is around $200,000, but with a limit of 14 per year, those scho- larships can be divided up among members of the team. To get the holy grail of "nancial aid, the players have to be exemplary and adhere to the four pillars of the program which are integrity, com- mitment, discipline and family. “We are beating some of the top schools

in the country and our guys are in class, with their teammates, earning a degree and pushing themselves to be elite athletes all at the same time,” said coach Moser. It’s the beauty of it, but it’s by no means easy.” !e Faucons are less than two months into their prep school odyssey but many are already looking ahead and college is, for some, the very reason why they chose Le Sommet for their hockey development. “No doubt, the NCAA is

Division I action is the pinnacle of US college hockey, a path to greatness on the ice and in the classroom. Last month, the Sommet Academy Faucons got a taste of the NCAA systemwhile visiting Canisius College in Buffalo, home of the Golden Griffins. The players soon found out that there’s no shortcut to D1 and that the few living the dreams are gutsy and tough as nails. Last year, only 1,172 players made the cut for D1 hockey, which has 44 teams scatte- red across the USA. “!ere’s about 125,000 players that are available for NCAA hockey

While grades and determination are as- sets, talent will always be the game changer in the NCAA. At Canisius, the players are "lmed during practice and get videos from the coaches right on their cellphone. !e objective is to form athletes that can go the distance, athletes that have the heart and the brain to be successful in life, long after their hockey career. “We had 15 NHL teams at our opening night last year,” concluded Scott Moser. “Our new arena is attached to the Bu$alo Sabres’ one and the atmosphere is crazy. !at’s college hockey, an experience like no other, if you want it to be. But to make it, you need to work hard now. Run with it and never quit, because there’s a long line of players wanting that very spot on the lineup.” Canisius won an automatic bid to the 2013 NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey Championship after winning the Atlantic Hockey title in the conference playo"s, but lost in the #rst round to top-ranked Quinnipiac.

Very fewmake the cut and you just can’t slack o$.” While explaining the pillars of the pro- gram, Scott Moser pointed out that the players need to unleash the warrior wit- hin and understand that hockey is truly a team sport. Excellence being one thing, the players need to take a good look at themselves, "nd their true calling and accept their role on the team. “No need to be one-dimensional, but being average at everything won’t cut it either,” said Moser. While on campus, the Faucons crossed path with defenceman Alex Jaeckle, a 20 year-old freshman majoring in accounting. !e Michigan native told them how living by a rigorous schedule is a necessity to stay sharp on the ice and at school. “You really need to plan you schoolwork, even if our schedule is molded around the hockey one,” said Jaeckle.

Gri!ns assistant coach Scott Mosergave an inspiring speech to the Faucons in Bu"alo, telling them to unleash the warrior within.

Weather wreaks havoc on Ontario’s apple crop

Consumers can expect fewer Ontario apples on the market this fall and it’s all due to unfavourable weather during this past growing season. A spring frost the night of May 22-23 that a!ected many of the province’s apple growing regions is responsible for much of the decline in this year’s apple crop, which is estimated to be down about 50 per cent from normal years. “Mother Nature was not kind to the apple industry in Ontario this year,” said Ontario Apple Growers Chair Charles Stevens, who farms near Newcastle, Ontario. “We lost almost half of our crop due to weather, so there will de"nitely be fewer locally grown apples available this year.” Apple growing regions in Eastern Ontario, the north shore of Lake Erie, and the Niagara Peninsula were particularly a!ected by the spring frost, which was compounded by a very cold winter and a cool, wet month in

June. #e summer-like temperatures at the end of August and early September were also a challenge as apples need warm days and cool nights to ripen and take on colour. As a result, many pick-your-own opera- tions and farmers’ markets will likely have limited opening hours or crop availability this fall. Stevens recommends checking before planning a visit. “If you’re looking to go apple picking or visit your favourite farm, it’s best to call ahead to ensure availability,” he said. “As apple growers, we appreciate howOntarians support our apple industry and we will still have Ontario apples in the stores this fall and winter, so be sure to look for Ontario-grown.” #ere are approximately 15 di!erent varieties of apples grown on 15,000 acres in Ontario.#e province’s major apple-pro- ducing areas are along the shores of Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake Huron and Geor- gian Bay.#e farmgate value of the Ontario

apple crop is approximately $60 million, which includes sales to fresh and processing markets as well as on-farm/pick-your-own. #e Ontario Apple Growers represents the

province’s 200 commercial apple farmers. More information can be found at www. onapples.com.

UCPR donates ambulance to Ukraine The United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) will be the first municipal government in Ontario to take part in a project to help Ukraine with its emergency medical transport needs. The UCPR emer- gency services department has designated Unit 4407 as surplus to its needs now as the UCPR has bought a new ambulance unit for its fleet and no longer needs Unit 4407, a 2009 Ford double-stret- cher ambulance which now has almost 375,000 kilometres on its odometer. The unit is still in good mechanical condition, with a $4500 resale value. The Paramedic Chiefs of Canada has a foreign aid service program and has contacted ambulance units throughout Canada for help in providing Ukraine with good-condition used ambulances. Counties council agreed during its Sept. 21 regular session to approve donation of Unit 4407 to the project. – Gregg Chamberlain

School is back in session, and with the new school year comes new school- books, new supplies and new binders full of new homework. With so many new things on the horizon, it is impor- tant to make sure children don’t fall into old habits when it comes to their backpack use. #ere are many ways that backpacks are misused or lead to injury, including overloaded bags, bags that are slung over only one shoulder and the style of the bag being used. #e Canada Safety Council urges parents and students to keep a close eye on the use of backpacks and prevent back, spine or arm injuries before they happen. #e Canadian Physiotherapy Asso- ciation (CPA) recommends thorough research when picking a backpack. Fit the bag to the user. #ere’s a temp- tation to get a larger bag because it will enable its user to carry more. Focus should be put on getting a backpack that is comfortable, with shoulder straps that don’t dig into the shoulders, and that doesn’t extend beyond the curvature at the bottom of the back. Arms should have a full and free range of mobility, and the pack should sit around the middle of the back instead of sagging toward the bottom. Keep weight manageable. More com- partments allow the backpack’s user to better balance it. Bags made out of lightweight materials are less heavy. Backpacks can be a pain

Plus de 45 auteurs au Salon du livre de l’Est ontarien ANNIE LAFORTUNE annie.lafortune@eap.on.ca

Le Salon du livre de l’Est ontarien sera plus vivant que jamais, du 23 au 25 octobre prochains, puisqu’il revient en force et s’installe au Pavillon de l’École secondaire catholique d’Embrun. C’est sous la présidence d’honneur de Colette St-Denis, enseignante à la retraite depuis 2003 et membre de la FARFO, que le Salon du livre revit. Mme St-Denis, auteure francophile, a réalisé son rêve, celui d’écrire pour sauvegarder l’histoire et la langue des Franco-Ontariens, rappeler la contribution des ancêtres, le magni!que héritage qu’ils ont laissé, sensibiliser les gens au sort des aînés, à la beauté de leur vie, à la nature, à la terre et au monde. « Nous sommes maintenant au 400 e cha- pitre, a raconté Mme St-Denis lors d’une conférence de presse qui s’est tenue le 8 octobre dernier. Une histoire palpitante, envoutante. Avec le thème Les 400 ans de présence francophone en Ontario , je souhaite que le Salon du livre soit de la dynamite! Rendre hommage à nos prédécesseurs pour les sillons qu’ils ont tracés pour nous. » Les deux codirecteurs de l’événement, Rachel Boucher et Marc Scott, promettent des rencontres remplies d’activités, et ce, pour tous les âges. « Un livre peut servir à beaucoup de choses. Il peut donner les clés de la connaissance, il peut guider, il peut montrer la direction. En!n, il peut faire à peu

près tout. Mais le plus important, c’est que l’auteur a le pouvoir de lui donner la vie. » Lyne Racine, surintendante de l’éduca- tion au Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO), qui est l’un des partenaires du Salon du livre, s’est dit !ère et heureuse que l’événement ait lieu dans l’un des établissements du Conseil. « Je suis une fervente convaincue de l’importance de la littératie dans notre milieu et je suis !ère

de voir que notre Conseil collabore avec le Salon du livre. » Sur place, il y aura une trentaine de kiosques, plus de 45 auteurs, de l’animation, des lancements de livres, des lectures, des causeries et des spectacles. Le vendredi 23 octobre, le Salon ouvrira ses portes dès 9 h jusqu’à 19 h. Le samedi, les portes ouvriront à 10 h jusqu’à 18 h, et le dimanche, de 10 h à 17 h. L’entrée est gratuite.
