leadership as a municipal councillor.” Her environmental initiatives include chairing the Russell Environmental Advisory Committee since its inception and currently serving as vice-chair. She also sat on the En- vironmental Sub-Committee that reviewed the environmental impact of a proposed dump site. She sits on the Communications Committee for South Nation Conservation, has acted as educational steward and river- watcher for SNC, and is an active member of the Russell Horticultural Society. Her other passions include health and education. A former legal secretary, gov- ernment employee with Foreign A"airs and childbirth educator, she still teaches prenatal classes. She volunteered for the breastfeeding coalition of Prescott-Russell, has worked at Kindercare Daycare in Russell for over 10 years and is a #tness instructor at Curves Embrun. Saucier is probably well known for her work with the Canadian Cancer Society. She has organized the Embrun-Russell Terry Fox Run (20 years) which has raised $250,000 so far, and the Poutmasters Fishing Derby (12 years). She helped start Trees for Tomorrow which has planted 12,000 trees in two sea- sons, volunteers for the Living Locally Fair,
and attends most events around the town- ship. She seeks more transparency in local gov- ernment, advocating for local businesses, more consultation concerning planning, maintaining green space and forests, in- creasing the number of tree-lined streets, incentives for farmers for bu"er zones, and opposing the proposed land#ll site at Boundary Road. “I believe we should be concerned about the ecological impact, impact on our gen- eral well-being, the impending increase in tra$c, especially in winter months when roads are more dangerous for driving. We all know the congestion of the Orleans split. We may see a similar sight of tra$c trying to get o" the 417 at Boundary. If this goes through, I believe it will a"ect the econom- ics of this area and real estate.” She is also concerned about the second preferred site on Eadie Road. “What is Taggart-Miller plan- ning to do with that land? I support strong economic development in our Township, but in a sustainable manner. We need to ensure that the integrity of our farms and villages remains strong. ”

RUSSELL | Cindy Saucier, a community volunteer and activist in Russell, has an- nounced her candidacy as a councillor for Russell Township in the upcoming munici- pal election. Saucier has lived in Russell for almost 30 years. She and husband Mike raised their three sons here and have one grandchild. Her list of initiatives and volunteer ac- tivities include council experience. “Work- ing closely with the local government has been a regular occurrence,” she says. She has worked with mayors Gaston Patenaude, Michael McHugh, Ken Hill, and Mayor J.P. St. Pierre. “I was chair of the Environment Team DANDY and was instrumental in pass- ing a by-law banning the use of cosmetic pesticides in Russell Township, ahead of the current provincial by-law. This endeavour took 20 years but our group stayed with this project until the task was completed. I was nominated and won the Tri-Valley Con- servation Award in 2012. I aim to continue to demonstrate this kind of progressive

Mid-term fire report expensive Both #re departments in Russell Township logged more hours for their second-quarter #eld calls. They also had to deal with #res that proved very expensive to property owners. The second-quarter report to council from the Embrun and Russell #re departments included a total property damage estimate of $335,000. Embrun #re department had the most expensive #re situation to deal with a call-out at the end of April that saw #re crews spend more than #ve hours on the scene to contain and extinguish a #re that caused $300,000 damage before it was put out. The Russell #re department had a call the end of May that resulted in $25,000 damage and occupied crews for three hours. A mid-June call-out for the station took almost an hour to contain and caused $5000 damage.
