Des résultats qui se sont fait attendre MARTIN BRUNETTE martin.brunette@eap.on.ca
Plusieurs s’entendront pour le dire, le déroulement avant et après les élections municipales n’a pas été de tout repos. À Clarence-Rockland, entre autres, des centaines de gens ont dû faire la file aux différents bureaux de scrutin afin d’exercer leur droit. Alors que les bureaux devaient fermer leurs portes à 20h, encore plusieurs personnes attendaient d’obtenir leur numéro d’identification d’électeur et leur numéro d’identification personnel (NIP). Dès lors, la municipalité avait décidé de prolonger l’ouverture des bureaux de vote jusqu’à 22h. «La décision de la greffière de prolonger la période de vote est due à des problèmes techniques à l’émission des NIP», pouvait-on lire dans un communiqué de la Cité. À la salle communautaire de l’aréna de Clarence Creek, quelques personnes s’étaient déplacées pour obtenir les résultats. Plusieurs secouaient leur tête en regardant leur montre. À ce moment, le candidat pour le poste de conseiller du quartier 4, Yves Simoneau, fronçait également les sourcils. «C’était un signe de ce qu’on a connu tout au long des élections. Comme plusieurs personnes ici ce soir, j’ai hâte que ça finisse et qu’on passe à autre chose.»

Ils étaient des centaines d’électeurs à faire la file lundi soir pour obtenir un numéro d’identification et voter.
Ce n’est que vers 23 h15 que les résultats ont été présentés sur un tableau. Un travail acharné souligné Malgré les difficultés encourues, le nou- veau conseiller du quartier 1, Jean-Marc Lalonde, a, pour sa part, tenu à féliciter le travail de la greffière Monique Ouellet. «Je dois féliciter la greffière pour la façon qu’elle gère la situation dans des circonstances
de la sorte, a-t-il confié. Je n’envoie aucun blâme aux employés de la Ville. Monique Ouellet a dû réagir très vite pour être ca- pable d’accommoder autant que possible le public.» Le nouveau conseiller du quartier 1 es- time, cependant, qu’il y a un blâme à jeter après cette élection qualifiée d’échec par plusieurs. Selon M. Lalonde, il serait même question de possibles procédures judi- ciaires. «Pour moi, c’est ma 17e campagne électorale et je n’ai jamais vu un fiasco de
la sorte. J’entends d’ailleurs certaines per- sonnes parler de poursuite.» Rappelons également que, quelques jours avant le début de la période d’élection, la municipalité avait été contrainte d’annuler le vote par internet alors que les numéros d’électeurs et les NIP étaient visibles à tra- vers les fenêtres des enveloppes envoyées aux électeurs. La municipalité avait par la suite annulé tous les NIP, obligeant les élec- teurs à se déplacer pour en obtenir un nou- veau.
CLARENCE-ROCKLAND
Les citoyens votent pour le changement À la salle communautaire de Clarence Creek les gens ont du patienter jusque vers 23h15.
Il s’agit d’une participation moins élevée pour la Cité qui, en 2010, avait enregistré un taux de participation de 54,6%. À ce moment également, environ 16 000 électeurs étaient appelés aux urnes. Lors du scrutin de 2006, le taux de participation s’était élevé à 55,3%. Le taux de participation enregistré cette année s’apparente à celui de 2003 où 45% des électeurs avaient participé au processus démocratique.
MARTIN BRUNETTE MARTIN.BRUNETTE@EAP.ON.CA
Il va sans dire que les citoyens de Clarence- Rockland souhaitaient un changement au sein de leur conseil municipal. Au niveau du taux de participation, sur 18 323 électeurs éligibles, 7914 se sont prévalus de leur droit de vote. Cela représente une proportion de 43,19%, alors qu’à Ottawa, le taux n’a été que de 35,68%.
Victoire éclatante pour Guy Desjardins gŏđŏ

Après une élection ainsi qu’un automne mouvementé, le vainqueur Guy Desjardins entend prendre quelques jours de repos. «Je vais prendre quelques jours pour aller faire le ménage autour de ma résidence, a confié M. Desjardins, en riant. Aussitôt que je reviens de vacances, on va se réunir et aller de l’avant. Ce que j’ai vu avec les per- sonnes qui ont été élues ici ce soir, c’est qu’il va y avoir des accords.» Aux postes de conseillers, seule Diane Choinière a été reconduite à son siège du quartier numéro 8. Elle l’a emporté par 161 voix sur son rival, Yvon Mayer. De son côté, le conseiller sortant du quar-

Wind of change blows through A-P Township
do take place, then I want people to know why. I’m going to work to make sure we have a fire department that works well, and, as I’ve already promised, I amgoing to guar- antee environmental protection.” Dicaire noted that several potential sites are identified around the township which could allow for development of an asphalt plant without being in conflict with other neighbouring uses. Lalonde said he was satisfied with his work during the past three terms since he was first elected in 2003. “I think no one could have really asked for more,” he said. “I have no regrets, really, no regrets. We have listened to residents, but sometimes there are problems with getting some things done, and I did my best. I want to thank all the township staff in all the de- partments for their work. That is something I am going to miss, being in touch with the employees and also with the other mayors at the counties council. I really got very at- tached to that.” Charlebois showed courtesy in his defeat during his speech. “I am a man of faith,” he said, “and I ac- cept tonight’s results. It takes courage to be a candidate and the experience has been incredible. I have met lots of wonderful people, people who need listening to. It’s been a good campaign, and I congratulate M. Lalonde for his devotion through all the past years.” In the ward pools, incumbent René
Beaulne retained his Ward 1 seat with 668 votes. The fight for the second seat in the ward finished in a toe-to-toe struggle be- tween the incumbent Richard Brisebois and his challenger, Jean-Pierre Cadieux. Brise- bois lost the contest by a close margin with 411 votes to Cadieux’ 438. Brisebois had beaten Cadieux for the Ward 1 seat eight years ago and the Monday night finish makes a comeback for the former council- lor. In Ward 2, Jean-Claude Delorme retained his seat for a second term with 936 votes, followed by new council members Jeanne Doucet with 756. André Boudreault, who had tried a come- back for one of the ward seats finished with In the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) four trustees did not have to worry about campaigning to retain seats as they won by acclamation. Bill MacPherson retains the Ward 2 seat, John McAllister Ward 4, Jeremy Armer Ward 7, and Caroll Carkner Ward 10, which com- prises Prescott-Russell. David McDonald de- feated Kevin Brisson for Ward 8, Lisa Swan was returned to Ward 6 seat, Jeff McMillan retains Ward 5 seat, and Susan Richards Ward 3. New UCDSB trustees include Donald
617 ballots, followed by Ian Walker with 484. Boudreault indicated this may be his last municipal campaign. TheWard 3 tally finished Benoît Lamarche retaining his seat at council for a fourth term with 286 votes. Close behind him was Dominique Perrier with 245 votes and Robert Léger trailing at 103 votes. In Ward 4 Chantal Galipeau upset incum- bent Serge R. Lalonde, with a total of 262 ballots, 62 more than Lalonde who has held the ward for five terms since his first elec- tion to council in 1997.

Also acclaimed were Brent Laton for Gren- ville County and Elizabeth-Kitley Township and Nancy Kirby for Lanark County. In- cumbent Sue Wilson retained the Prescott- Russell seat. Incumbent Karen E.

PLANTAGENET | A wind of change blew across the council table in Alfred-Plan- tagenet Township Monday night. As of Tuesday morning, the township has both a new mayor-elect and two new council- lors waiting for their inauguration in De- cember. The results of the Oct. 27 civic election in the township replaced incumbent Jean- Yves Lalonde with Fernand Dicaire, while Jeanne Doucet and Chantal Galipeau will provide new voices in council for the next four years. The Monday night polls had a 300-vote margin between the two front- runners for the mayor’s chair as they waited for the final results in the Plantagenet Com- munity Centre. Dicaire was confirmed as the new mayor with 1716 votes, compared to the 1413 fall- ing to Lalonde, who now steps down from council after 11 years as the township’s mayor. The third candidate in the mayoral race, Mario Charlebois, received 713 votes. “What a great feeling!”said Dicaire, speak- ing in English at the start of his post-elec- tion speech before switching to French. “I promise you reports on what happens dur- ing the meetings of the counties council. I want transparency. I want to reduce the amount of in-camera sessions, and if they

Counties council honours “gentleman” warden
United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR). Each one had a favourite memory about St- Pierre to share with his family who attended the Wednesday morning session Oct. 22. “Our sympathies are with you,” said René Berthiaume of Hawkesbury, addressing the St-Pierre family. “We’ve enjoyed JP’s compa- ny, we’ve enjoyed working with him, for the wonderful person he was. We thank you for sharing him with us.” “It was with great sorrow that I learned of his passing,” said Clarence-Rockland’s Mar- cel Guibord. “He was calm and a very dedi- cated person, full of energy.” “The good times we shared, we’ll never forget,” said Robert Kirby of East Hawkes- bury. “He never got rattled, and he always handled every situation professionally.” “He was a good friend,” said Mayor Jean- Yves Lalonde of Alfred-Plantagenet Town- ship. “JP was a good neighbour to Casselman, and a good friend,” said Claude Levac, Cas- selman’s mayor.“He had a vision of Prescott- Russell, a vision that all municipalities
should find their niche. He was a very good listener.” “I feel privileged to have known JP,” said Mayor François St-Amour of The Nation municipality. “He made us better politicians and better human beings.” “JP has changed our lives,” said Stéphane Parisien, UCPR chief administrator, on be- half of the counties staff. As this year’s presiding warden, St-Pierre’s mandate would have ended after Novem- ber with the selection and swearing in of a new warden during the December inaugu- ral meeting for the 2015 counties council. By unanimous agreement of his fellowmayors, St-Pierre’s seat as warden will remain vacant for the remainder of his term in the post as a memorial. During all remaining counties council meetings until December’s inaugu- ral, the other mayors will choose someone to act as chair for the session. The annual warden’s banquet, scheduled for Nov. 8, will continue but, Parisien noted, it will now become a testimonial evening to commemorate Jean-Paul St-Pierre.

L’ORIGNAL | A minute of silence began the official start to the last meeting of the counties council before the October elec- tion. It was the start of an hour-long tri- bute to the late Mayor Jean-Paul St-Pierre of Russell Township. “We have lost a dear friend,” said Gary Barton, as the mayor of Champlain Town- ship fought and failed to hold back tears. “A beloved colleague, and an excellent leader.” Barton opened the list of verbal tributes and reminiscences from Prescott-Russell’s municipal leaders about their fellow mayor and presiding warden for this year over the The warden’s chair (right) at the United Counties of Prescott-Russell council table will be empty until the December’s inaugural meeting in memory of Jean- Paul St-Pierre.

Carole Lavigne has a lot of experience in farming and and business, which will come in handy with her new job as the new economic development and tourism director for the United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR). Lavigne has been the UCPR’s project officer for the department since 2006 and her appointment as successor to Sylvain Charlebois, who retires at the end of the year, was confirmed during the Oct. 22 counties council session. Lavigne operated her own dairy farm for more than 20 years in the Hammond-Cheney region of Clarence-Rockland before turning to the wine-making profession, starting up both her own winery and a pick-your-own- fruit orchard in the Bourget area. She later became a business consultant at the Prescott-Russell Entrepreneurship Centre before her initial posting with the UCPR. Other related experience she brings to her new assignment includes a certificate in economic development from the University of Waterloo, and being co-founder and first president of the Eastern Ontario Agri-Food Network, co-founder of the Ottawa Valley Grape Growers Association, and a certified chocolatier. She has also sat on the boards of directors for Groupe Convex, the Eastern Ontario Transport Commission, and the Eastern Ontario Training Board.

Thank you, Tiny Hoppers
Editorial note: This thank-you letter was forwarded to the Vision by the original sender. Madame Joanne et l’équipe de Tiny Hop- pers, I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to you and your team for all the support provided yesterday. As you all know, the unfortunate events that unfolded down- town and the resulting security measures prevented many, both civilian and military, from returning home to care for our families in a timely manner. You must know that while military per- sonnel must remain ready and continue with our duties, in such situations the care and comfort of our families is always a signi- ficant factor in our minds affecting our abi-
lity to continue with our tasks. The support your team provided was clearly above and beyond what is expected. Your emails kept us informed and reassured that the children were safe. The support provided by extending your staff's work day, feeding and caring for the children did not go unnoticed; again reassuring us. Your team has definitely proven that they clearly belong within the military family support network! Thank you very much to you, your team and those who stayed very late last night.

leur impression tirées de la campagne élec- torale. Ils ont finalement classé leur choix en ordre de priorité en prévision du vote étudiant. Vote étudiant est une élection parallèle destinée aux élèves qui n’ont pas encore l’âge de voter et qui coïncide avec les élec- tions officielles. Les élèves se familiarisent avec le gouvernement et la démocratie et découvrent les candidats locaux et leurs enjeux dans le cadre d’une formation en classe, d’événements de campagne et d’ac- tivités à faire à la maison. «Je crois fortement que c’est à travers une expérience réelle et enrichissante telle que celle-ci que les élèves apprennent à deve- nir un(e) citoyen(ne), engagé(e)», a affirmé Mme Beaulne-Gendron.

Le tout était supervisé par l’enseignante Natacha Beaulne-Gendron dans le cadre du programme Vote étudiant, organisé en lien avec les élections municipales. En premier lieu, les élèves devaient effec- tuer une petite recherche sur les candidats locaux. Ensuite, les jeunes devaient réfléchir à leurs propres valeurs, à leur expérience et

Parliament Hill shooting impact spreads
The impact of a lone gunman’s mad attack on Parliament Hill rippled out into the surrounding Five Counties region with temporary shutdowns at local schools. All scho- ols in Eastern Ontario went into “hold and secure” status Wednesday morning, Oct. 22, after reports of the shooting, at first in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the War Memorial at the Elgin-and-Wellington Streets intersection, and then soon after inside the Parliament Building’s centre block. “It was not a lockdown,” said Da- vid Coombs, school operations superintendent for the Upper Canada District School Board, during a phone interview later that day. “It was ‘hold and secure’, which means school inside proceeds as normal.”During“hold and secure”, no one is allowed to enter or leave the school without authorization and secure identification. Entrance doors are locked and students kept inside but otherwise classes continue as usual. All the English- and French-speaking school districts operating in Eastern Ontario put “hold- and-secure” notices into effect at all of their schools by request of the OPP or other police forces.

An imam, from a delegation representing the Muslim community of the National Capital Region, places a wreath Saturday morning at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, prior to deliving a sermon, condemning those who use religion as an excuse for violence. “Terrorism has no god,” the imam said, to applause from the crowd gathered at the National War Memorial where many laid their own bouquets of flowers and personal messages in memory of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo andWarrant Officer Patrice Vincent, both victims of would-be terrorists.

Keeping an eye on the price of corn
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently released its corn price projections for the next 10 years. Unlike other more optimistic orga- nizations, such as the International Monetary Fund and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the USDA expects a decline in corn prices over the next year. Despite the volatility of certain factors, including the total area that will be seeded in North America this year and in 2015, the USDA expects the price of corn to fall to $3.65 per bush- el (/bu) in 2014-2015. It is expected to reach a low of $3.30/bu next year before slowly climbing back. These will be comparable to the low prices of 2007 rather than to the historic lows that occurred in the early years of the twenty-first century.
Since the corn planting decisions of U.S. producers for this year are not yet known, and because the current price of soybeans is rela- tively high compared to that of corn, it is also possible that pro- ducers will dedicate less acreage than expected to corn, in favour of soybeans. The USDA forecasts that the price of corn futures will be about $4.84/ bu in 2015, $4.94/bu in 2016, and $4.55/ bu in 2017. For other grain crops, the USDA predicts that the price of wheat and soybeans will fall by 20-25 percent in 2014. However, these forecasts could be compromised if weather conditions are poor this summer. If that is the case, grain prices could increase once again.

Police post Halloween safety tips All Hallows falls on a Friday this year. Anyone leaving work early to head to the cottage for one last weekend need to be careful about little ghosts and goblins they may see flitting around along the roadside. Police remind all motorists and also all parents to keep traffic safety in mind on Halloween Friday. Parents should make sure that they or an older and responsible son or daughter are escorting lit- tle trick-or-treaters on their neighbourhood rounds and drivers should go slow in residential areas and along rural roads and watch out for children on the hunt for candy treats. Trick or treaters are invited to be careful, making sure, among other things, they go to houses that are well-lit, that they wear reflective strips, that they walk in groups. Voters in Clarence-Rockland thought about it and gave a clear majority support to Guy Desjardins as mayor of the city for the next four years, ousting incumbent Marcel Gui- bord at the close of Election Night Monday. The former councillor for the rural ward of St-Pascal-Baylon enjoyed a near-landslide vic- tory over his opponent, polling 5617 votes against Guibord’s 2209. Of all the members of the current council, Diane Choinière is the only one who managed to hang onto her seat. She beat her challenger, Yvon Mayer, by 161 votes. René Campeau lost the Ward 7 ballot by a very narrow margin of 13 votes to his challen- ger, Michel Levert, who had a total of 389 ballots. There may be a chance that Campeau could ask for an official recount to make sure of the election results. Ward 3 councillor Bernard Payer lost his seat at council in a crushing encounter with Carl Grimard who took 935 of the ballots to Payer’s 262. InWard 1 Jean-Marc Lalonde received three times the support of his rival, Claude Vachon, with 965 votes to 311. Mario Zanth took the Ward 2 seat with 74 more votes than his com- petition, Jacques Tessier. Yvon Simoneau dominated the Ward 4 ballot with 714 votes compared to 198 for his nearest competitor Charles Berlinguette. Ward 5 went to André J. Lalonde who polled 515 votes to Gerry Bertrand’s 220. Ward 6, which Desjardins held before deciding to run for the mayor’s chair, now has Krysta Simard for its representative with her 359-vote majority against Luc Thivièrge’s 224. Desjardins beats Guibord
program to try and either avoid or reduce a possible deficit at the end of the 2014 op- erations year. The department’s report to the social services committee noted that a review of the September financial summary for the program, along with calculation of new in- formation on funding from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, indicates a possible deficit of about $300,000 for the program if the counties maintains the cur- rent number of subsidized residents cov- ered at 500. An earlier report from the department recommended capping the number of sub- sidized residents under the program at 485 to reduce or prevent a possible deficit in the program budget. But changes to the ministry’s financial aid for social housing programs in munici- palities and counties indicate that the UCPR may receive another $173,493 to the domi- ciliary hostels program. Now the department has suggested cap- ping the subsidized residents number at 490 instead. Counties council also accepted a depart- ment recommendation to maintain the per diem subsidy to domiciliary hostel op- erators at $50 per resident client. The group representing hostel operators had asked that the per diem increase to $52 but the social services department recommenda- tion is aimed at reducing the chance of an end-of-year deficit in the program.
GREGGCHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca
L’ORIGNAL | Thanks to changes at the pro- vincial level, staff at the counties office are reworking, revising, and revamping the social housing aid guidelines for Prescot- Russell again. Earlier this past summer the social ser- vices department presented the United Counties of Prescott-Russell council (UCPR) with a report about the creation of a special reserve fund for the domiciliary hostels pro- gram that the counties operates. The pro- posed fund resulted from discussions with hostel operators. The fund would serve as a holding source for any end-of-the-year surpluses in the program. The reserve could then provide aid to subsidized housing sites for needed improvements or other purposes. The social services committee has recom- mended in its October report to council that the counties go ahead with creation of the reserve fund in case there is a surplus at the end of the year in the 2014 budget allocation for the social housing program. Further details on how the fund would op- erate would be included in the final policy guidelines. Meanwhile, the social services depart- ment is having to rework some of the oper- ating guidelines for the domiciliary housing
