a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Hawkesbury wastewater treatment plant site on Main Street. Residents of Hawkes- bury, Champlain Township, and East Hawkesbury Township can bring old paint, used solvents, and other items on the list of acceptable household hazardous waste products to the site for collection and storage for later safe disposal. – Gregg Chamberlain PEDESTRIAN CROSSOVERS The United Counties of Prescott-Russell council approved a bylaw authorizing the public works department to install pedestrian crossovers on county roads in four locations. The crossovers will be on County Road 3 east of County Road 28 at the Embrun roundabout, on County Road 3 south of Dollard Street in Casselman and also on County Road 3, about 40 metres north of Jeanne-Mance Street in Casselman. There will also be one on County Road 2, west of Grand Tronc Street in the Village of Cheney. – Gregg Chamberlain DEER ALERT Anyone driving along the rural roads needs to watch for deer crossing. During autumn and winter there is a greater chance of encountering deer during the early morning or early evening hours. Reduce speed while on rural roads going through wooded areas or along open fields, and watch along the roadside. At night watch for glowing eyes from the light reflected in the eyes of deer. Also be alert and wait to see if more than one deer crosses the road. STUDENT TRANSPORT Student Transportation Eastern Ontario (STE0) is dealing with bus driver shortages for some of its routes. The consortium manages student trans- portation for school districts in Eastern Ontario but the COVID-19 pandemic has hampered its scheduling plans this year. STEO officials state that the Prescott-Russell routes for students attending schools in the Catholic Dis- trict School Board of Eastern Ontario and Upper Canada District School Board areas are covered.– Gregg
The popular Prescott-Russell Recreational Trail may be coming to the end of its lifespan. The United Counties of Prescott-Russell council voted 5-3 against a two-year extension of the lease with VIA Rail for use of the former rail line route that serves as the recreational trail. – archives
