So, of course, some of his old teammates and his coach dropped by to chat and reminisce about the days when the “Blond Demon” played for Rockland’s minor hockey clubs before moving on to fame with the Montréal Canadiens.

Rural economic summit rocks GREGGCHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca

Delegates from all over Eastern Ontario and several other parts of the province ga- thered to listen to experts from the United States, Canada, and France outline the is- sues facing rural communities in the global marketplace of the 21st Century and how they can compete against their urban coun- terparts here and abroad. During the after- noon closing ceremony May 2, Jean-Paul St-Pierre, warden for the United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR), described the event as an “enlightening and fun” expe-

ŏ/5/ŏ*+ŏ+*ŏ ,!0ŏ)+// Natural Resources Ontario has no plans to include regulating the extraction of peat moss as part of its mandate. But Minister David Orazietti suggested the United Coun- ties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) might be able to do something under the authority of the Municipal Act. MNR has a licence-fee structure for dealing with quarry and sand pit operations. Municipalities which have such operations in their areas receive a per- centage share of those fees to compensate for the wear on local roads from heavy-haul trucks. The UCPR thinks a similar licence-fee system should apply to peat moss extrac- tion for the same reasons but the minister noted that MNR is responsible for enfor- cing the Aggregate Resources Act and peat moss is not covered under that legislation. He said the Municipal Act might give the UCPR the authority to allow, forbid, and also regulate and licence peat moss and other topsoil extraction if the counties council wished to do so. rience for many. “My network of contacts has certainly grown larger,” St-Pierre said. The warden quoted Rahaf Harfoush, one of the key speakers during the summit, regarding the things that impressed him the most about what Prescott-Russell com- munities, businesses, and individuals need to keep in mind about the future impacts of technological and social change on the rural sector and the critical role that knowledge will play in everyone’s lives. “No one will be spared, no one will be left alone. You are all part of the solution.” St-Pierre then added a favourite quote he remembered from a high school teacher. “From a professional aspect, know eve- rything about some things. From a social aspect, know something about everything.” During her own talk during the summit, Harfoush noted that the Internet and all the information tools it makes available gives the individual enormous power to shape the world and to have an impact on culture, on the economy, on everything. “I call this the Age of the Architexts,” she said, coining the word “architext” (merging “architect” and “text”) to show the role social media and the Internet now have in cultural and economic change. “Architexts excel at creating alternatives to situations.” Harfoush listed five trends of the Age of Architexts: cheap and easy-to-access data, hyper-personalized service, micro- influence, games-as-models for learning, shared values among Internet users and social media fans. She also stressed that how successful or how harmful any of these trends or other impacts of the cyberverse on the economy or the community always depends on the individuals taking advan- tage of them or influenced by them. “The Internet is not good or bad. It is all about the intent that motivates the use of the technology,” she said, stressing a need for “critical thinking” and for people to take responsibility for what they see, hear and do on and with the Internet. “Never stop learning,” she said.

ROCKLAND | For three days students at the Canadian International Hockey Aca- demy were rubbing elbows now and again with experts in economics and other digni- taries as the inaugural Ontario Rural Eco- nomic Summit took over half of the arena space .

AUBRY

Le 3 juillet 1954, il y a de cela 60 ans, Lucie Gendron et Louis Aubry unissent leur destinée dans l’église du Sacré-Cœur de Bourget, Ontario. Assisté de l’abbé Alphonse Lapointe, curé de Bourget, le R.P. Rodolphe Gendron, O.M.I. de l’Université d’Ottawa, professeur des deux époux, préside la cérémonie nuptiale. Lucie Gendron, fille du Dr Moïse Gendron (1899-1968) et Aline Gouin (1903-1997) de Bourget, naît le 17 avril 1927 à Chelmsford, Ontario. Suite à son diplôme d’infirmière licenciée, elle obtient un autre diplôme d’infirmière hygiéniste. Elle acquiert une grande expérience en assistant son père, un médecin de campagne. Lucie décède le 28 février 2012 Louis Aubry, fils d’Auguste–Eugène Aubry (1876-1958) et de Valéda Legault (1883-1942) d’Ottawa, Ontario, naît le 1er avril 1924 à Ottawa. Louis détient deux diplômes de l’Université d’Ottawa, Baccalauréat ès sciences commerciales ‘46 et Maîtrise en sciences de la santé ‘ 71. Étrangement, Lucie et Louis se rencontrent à Rockland où ils habitent depuis 1978. Lucie est Infirmière hygiéniste à l’ « Unité sanitaire » de Rockland » aujourd’hui le Bureau de santé. Louis séjourne les fins de semaine avec des amis dans un chalet sur la terre de Monsieur Irenee Pigeon, actuellement la propriété des Sœurs de la Charité d’Ottawa. À Montréal, Louis est étudiant à l’Université McGill, cours préparatoire au degré de comptable agréé. Comme infirmière, Lucie est à l’emploi de Trans– Canada Airlines, aujourd’hui Air Canada.

Les carrières poursuivies par Louis permettent à la famille de connaître trois provinces : le Québec comme administrateur chez Philippe Beaubien et Cie Ltée, au Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrooke et à l’Institut Val-du- Lac de Rock Forest, l’Ontario à Radio-Canada et à l’Hôpital Montfort ainsi que le Manitoba à Radio-Canada. On dit que « les voyages forment la jeunesse »; leurs trois garçons en bénificient sûrement. Ce sont Sylvain d’Amos époux de Lise Côté; Daniel de Laval époux de Monique Lavoie et Benoît d’Ottawa. Ils sont les grands-parents de Marc de Mont-Tremblant et Thomas de Laval.

Green Party candidate wants to rally youth vote

St. Martin understands the struggles of students wanting to further their education and training. He is studying at Montréal’s McGill University, doing a major degree in anthropology and two minors in political science and the social study of medicine. Fi- nished for the summer season and ready to campaign, he notes that entering into the political arena was not on his agenda when the past term began. “I’ve always been passionate about poli- tics,” he said, “but I’ve always considered myself impartial too.” St. Martin’s efforts to remain unpartisan ended after reviewing the Green Party plat- form. He thinks it has a better economic strategy than the Progressive Conservatives and an overall better position on environ- mental issues in general compared to On- tario’s other political groups. He signed up and also put his name in as the candidate nominee for Glengarry-Prescott-Russell. While a newcomer to the provincial arena, he believes he has a chance to make an im- pression at the polls.

him a candidate young voters can relate to, identify with, and maybe encourage them to be more politically involved too. “I would hope I could light that flame,” he said, “to get students involved.” Living close to the Delorme potato pro- cessing plant in Curran, St. Martin identifies with local farmers’ concerns about getting more of a market share for their produce. He also noted how small dépanneurs and other local grocery outlets in outlying vil- lages and hamlets are closing down, forcing more residents to have to drive to larger urban areas and shop at Big Box grocery chains. Those franchise outlets, St. Martin said, do not have a commitment to provi- ding shelf space for local produce. To help local agribusiness, St. Martin would like a program that helps promote creation of local farmers markets. He would like to see a more solid provincial govern- ment commitment to funding support for Alfred College for the benefit of local students who want to follow agriculture as a career.

GREGGCHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca

CURRAN | The Green Party candidate for Glengarry-Prescott-Russell is after the youth vote in the riding and he’s already made a campaign promise that his rivals may find hard to beat. If elected, Raymond St. Martin has pledged to turn over half of his MPP salary to the community of Glengarry-Prescott- Russell. What he would like to see that money used for, assuming he wins the June election ballot for the riding, is a scholarship fund to help more high school students from Glengarry-Prescott-Schools go on to either college or university. “Fifty per cent of that (MPP) salary is more than enough for me,” said the 22-year-old Curran resident during a phone interview May 5. The current average salary for Ontario MPPs is capped at $116,500 a year. MPP salaries have remained frozen for the past five years. The usual practice is for MPP sala- ries to be 75 per cent of what a sitting MP makes. Right now the average federal MP gets a base pay of $160,200, which includes a 1.6-per cent increase for the 2013-2014 fiscal period. MPPs would need a six-per cent increase in their base pay to still meet the old 75-per cent ratio with their federal counterparts.

“It really comes down to who’s going to be the best person to represent the com- munity,” he said. St. Martin hopes to galvanize the youth vote in the riding because his age makes

Pelle en main pour un projet de résidence

terre.» Aujourd’hui, c’est le groupe Ontario Retirement Residences qui a manifesté son intérêt pour la gestion de la résidence. Si tout se déroule comme prévu, la résidence, qui devrait porter le nom de Manoir Rockland, serait prête à accueillir ses premiers résidents d’ici l’automne 2015. La résidence, évaluée a environ 22 millions de dollars, devrait être construite le long de la route 17, à l’arrière de la clinique de l’Équipe de santé familiale Clarence-Rockland, tout juste à l’avant de l’épicerie Food Basics. Il s’agira d’une résidence à la fine pointe qui répondra aux besoins des résidents, particulièrement en ce qui a trait à la santé. «On veut vraiment se concentrer sur les

soins de santé, a précisé Robert Lemay. On comptera un personnel infirmier d’environ 25 employés à temps plein et à temps partiel.» Les résidents pourront également se prémunir d’un dispositif d’urgence pour avertir le personnel infirmier en cas d’incident. Il y aura également une salle où seront offerts des soins assistés avec une option de modifier progressivement les soins. Le projet devrait également être divisé en deux phases. La première phase comptera 109 appartements. Un mélange d’unités du genre studio et des unités pour double

occupation. On prévoit la création de 60 emplois à temps plein et à temps partiel. La deuxième phase est évaluée à environ 7millions de dollars. Elle inclura notamment l’ajout de nouvelles unités qui devraient créer 20 emplois supplémentaires. La résidence comprendra également: une salle d’exercice, une chapelle, un café bistro 24 heures, un bar, un théâtre de même qu’une salle réservée aux familles des résidents. Ajoutez à cela un transport par autobus adapté ainsi qu’une piste cyclable. Celle-ci sera raccordée à la piste cyclable municipale.

Le projet d’une nouvelle résidence pour personnes âgées à Rockland pourrait finalement démarrer vers la fin de l’été. Depuis plusieurs mois maintenant, le promoteur du projet, Robert Lemay, s’affairait à obtenir les permis pour la construction. «On avait un problème avec le fait que le terrain était désigné plaine inondable, a confié Robert Lemay.

The Torch Run races through Rockland gŏđŏ editionap.ca police beat

“It is now the largest single-source of rev- enue for Special Olympics,”said Bill Dickson, Eastern Ontario Torch Run coordinator. Police and other law-enforcement agen- cies, with support fromvarious other groups and individuals carry the “Flame of Hope” along designated routes in every participat- ing province and state. In Ontario the Torch Run through the eastern region goes down to Cornwall and then into Southern Ontar- io. Later in the month, the Eastern Ontario Torch Run will follow up the Ottawa Valley. All donations, revenue from sales of T- shirts and other Torch Run memorabilia goes to the Special Olympics. In Ontario more than 19,000 athletes involved in the Special Olympics program receive help from the Torch Run. Dickson noted that these young people and adults benefit from Special Olympics not just in having a healthier lifestyle, but also from improved self-esteem, a sense of being more involved in their community, and enjoying the chance to meet, compete and make friends with other people. The Rockland leg of the Torch Run fol- lowed Laurier Street from the SmartCentre mall, with a detour up by the schools, and then back to Laurier. The Torch was then taken to Hawkesbury for the next leg of the journey. More information on the Torch Run, in- cluding how to donate, is available at www. torchrunontario.com Domestic assault A 911 call on May 1 saw police stepping in between a couple having a fight. Police ar- rived on the scene on Edwards Street where a couple had been arguing over relation- ship issues and then the dispute escalated to physical blows on both sides. After some questioning, police have charged a 32-year-old Rockland woman with two counts of spousal assault and one of domestic mischief. She is scheduled to appear in provincial court May 14 in L’Orignal on the charges. Copper theft Copper wire remains a prime target for some thieves because of its salvage value on the world metals market. Rockland OPP detachment received a call May 2 about a break-in in the Caron Street area. The thieves made their way into a commercial trailer and stole a quantity of copper wire and some line supplies. Marks on the lock securing the trailer show bolt-cutters were used to gain entry. Anyone with information on the break-in and theft can contact Const. Joe Barbe at the Rockland OPP station at 613-446-5124 or call the CrimeStoppers toll-free confiden- tial tips line at 1-800-222-8477. The Hawkesbury OPP have their own case of copper thieves on the loose. The Hydro One lot on Skye Road in The Nation muni- cipality was hit sometime between April 24 and 28. The thieves cut a hole in the fencing of the outside storage yard, slipped inside and then left with more than $3000 worth of copper wiring. Anyone with information about this theft can call Const. Mario Gratton at the Hawkesbury OPP detachment at 613-632- 2729 or else call the CrimeStoppers tips line and leave a message. Tips that help solve a case may be eligible for a reward.

ROCKLAND | The Monday morning skies were starting to clear and the warm sun beginning to beam down as about a do- zen police officers and others gathered at the WalMart parking lot in Rockland for the start of the latest leg of the Law Enfor- cement Special Olympics Torch Run. The annual fundraiser event began in 1981 in Wichita, Kansas when local police and sheriff’s office staff brainstormed on community projects. Since then it has be- come a global phenomenon, taking place in more than 30 countries on every conti- nent with China the latest addition to the roster.
