L’ORIGNAL | Hawkesbury Mayor René Berthiaume had one important thing to say to his fellow mayors about this year’s Ottawa River Festival. “I invite my fellow mayors to prep your teams,”warned a smiling Berthiaume. Hawkesbury’s water-skiing mayor was talking about contenders for his champi- onship title and trophy in the Mayors Chal- lengeWater Ski Race, one of several fun fun- draising events that will be part of the Third Annual Ottawa River Festival over the July 4 weekend. Festival organizers and sponsors were confident about one thing during a May 14 press conference announcing the launch of this year’s festival. It will be bigger, better, and filled with more attractions and activi- ties than ever before. “I’m particularly proud that this event has gained the popularity that it has,” said Ber- thiaume, as mayor of this year’s main host community for the event. The three-day celebration of the Ottawa River and the communities in Prescott-Rus- sell located along its banks alternates each year between Hawkesbury and Rockland as the main event venue. But every riverside village and town in the two counties fea- tures some special attractions or activities

Not-so-light reading in policing report
drives the cost for police services, from manpower and equipment to facilities and extras. It examines all the things that police do, from regular patrols and investigations to court work reports and community pro- motional events. “He (Leuprecht” thinks that policing should be done at the core level,” said Sté- phane Parisien, UCPR chief administrator. Once they and their council members have had a chance to read through the report, mayors in Prescott-Russell will be able to refer to it when they talk to provin- cial election candidates and any party lea- ders passing through the area on campaign prior to next month’s provincial election. Counties council directed Parisien to pre- pare a resolution of support for the report for the May regular session. “We’re going to be asking all parties‘What are you willing to do to reduce emergency (service) costs?’” said Parisien.

L’ORIGNAL | The mayors and council mem- bers in Prescott-Russell have some heavy reading to do very fast. The United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) council found a report from the MacDonald-Laurier Institute (MLI) in their agenda package for the May 14 committee of the whole session. The report, The Blue Line or the Bottom Line of Police Services in Canada? By Christian Leuprecht, deals with the rapid rise in policing costs throughout the country and how it affects local protec- tion service for municipalities. “Despite rapidly rising costs, Canadians are not getting all the police they pay for,”Leuprecht stated in his report. The 30-plus-page report looks at what L’ORIGNAL | The United Counties is giv- ing some serious thought to an idea for a fire fighter training facility located in Clar- ence-Rockland. Such a facility would include a building designed to allow ignition of controlled fires for live-practice training drills in rescue and extinguishing. Estimated cost for such a facility, including design, construction, and allocation of counties land for the site is about $1.5 million.

Local companies have plan for used farm plastic
offer farmers. Option 1 is a $140 per tonne tipping fee charge to collect used baling plastic. Option 2 is a “one-size-fits-all” plans that offers a bulk rate of $140 per tonne for any amount of used baling plastic up to an 800-tonne maximum. For 801 tonnes or more the tip- ping fee for collection would be $95 per tonne. Option 2 has an alternative with an an- nual fixed fee of $35 a year each from a wor- king farm. This alternative requires at least a client list of 1000 farms to be feasible as it would then represent $291 a month in reve- nue for Recycle Action. The whole collection program would in- volve eight drop-off container sites, one for each member municipality in the UCPR. Arcand and Lessard noted that Option 2 would be easy to set up and operate, it would encourage local farmers to recycling their used baling plastic, which means less trash going into the landfills, less red tape
for operation, and guaranteed revenue for Recycle Action and service for local farmers. Recycle Action is part of Groupe Convex’s system of niche businesses which provide employment for the non-profit group’s clients. Arcand noted that the proposal dovetails well with Groupe Convex’s goals. “I have one concern here,” said East Hawkesbury Mayor Robert Kirby, who is also a working farmer, “and that’s the trans- portation.” He wondered about the distance involved to a dropoff site and what kind of vehicle might be needed to truck the used baling
plastic there. Sylvain Charlebois, UCPR economic de- velopment director, told council he has discussed the used baling plastic situation with representatives for the local farming sector and with Laflèche Environmental. The key unanswered question still is how much used baling plastic exists in Prescott- Russell for recycling. Hawkesbury Mayor René Berthiaume suggested, with support from several other mayors, that Charlebois continue looking into the matter with Groupe Convex for a future report to counties council.
GREGGCHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca
L’ORIGNAL | Two companies have a made- in-Prescott-Russell idea for helping local farmers deal with their used baling plastic. Caroline Arcand of Groupe Convex and Robert Lessard from Recycle Action pres- ented their solution during the United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) council May 14 committee of the whole session. “Recycle Action has a possible solution,” said Arcand. The two companies got together after Groupe Convex staff reviewed a local news- paper article about how the counties was looking into the problems that farmers have finding a way to recycle their used baling plastic instead of dumping in the local landfills. Arcand and Lessard outlined two options that Recycle Action is willing to

Wardens have questions for all the candidates
swing by on a campaign visit. The wrong answers to these questions could cost some candidates and their parties support on Election Day. “The EOWC wants to get the message out to election candidates,” St-Pierre said in a prepared statement. “Municipalities have given the province a decade to accept responsibility for its own costs, and, as we know, Eastern Ontario has little capacity to raise revenue, in terms of both income and property.” The three questions are: Will you honour the upload agreement (of the past Libe- ral government) and reject downloading? What is your plan for Eastern Ontario’s roads and bridges? How will you promote more affordable emergency services? A one-page brief expands on the defini-
tions and parameters of the EOWC ques- tions. But St-Pierre stressed that the can- didates and their leaders cannot promise infrastructure improvements or aid that turns out later to reduce either the funding for or quality of some other provincial ser- vice to local governments. “Infrastructure funding cannot come at the expense of uploads or new downloads that increase other (local) costs,” said St- Pierre. “You cannot rob Peter to pay Paul.” The three questions, and their qualifiers, are basedon the EOWC’s own 2014priorities list for economic and social development in Eastern Ontario. That document was pres- ented to provincial and federal govern- ment representatives during this spring’s ROMA/OGRA conference. The EOWC report highlighted the need for stable funding for infrastructure aid programs for local com- munities and a demand for a new police services billing setup for OPP contracts for small municipalities. The United Counties of Prescott-Russell council (UCPR) adopted the EOWC election question package during its May 14 com- mittee of the whole session. Prescott-Rus- sell’s mayors also plan to add a few ques- tions of their own to the overall package
when they get their chances to talk with local candidates vying for the Glengarry- Prescott-Russell riding seat. Among those questions specific to Pres- cott and Russell counties will be: the fate of Alfred College, now threatenedy with closure as part of its alma mater the Univer- sity of Guelph’s financial restraints program; abolition of the current farm tax setup that leaves rural municipalities“holding the bag” waiting for the province to make good on its compensation share for agricultural pro- perty taxes owed to municipalities; support for the ecoLarose project; taking back res- ponsibility for County Road 17, which the past Harris/Eaves Progressive Conservative government downloaded onto the UCPR. St-Pierre, as UCPR warden and mayor of Russell Township, noted that municipali- ties in this region need an answer on an issue they have been lobbying on for years. He noted that the provincial government needs to remove sewer and water projects and programs from the municipal debt-ca- pacity load. Any loans taken out for these programs are paid back through the user fees and not through the annual property tax levy so they should not be counted as part of any municipality’s formal debt load.

L’ORIGNAL | If any of Ontario’s political parties hope to gain the support of East- ern Ontario on next month’s election bal- lot, their leaders and local candidates will have to have the right answers to three questions. Jean-Paul St-Pierre, president of the Eas- tern Ontario Wardens Caucus (EOWC) this year, revealed a trio of questions that the EOWC wants the wardens of all counties in the region and all of the mayors in Eastern Ontario and their councillors to put to pro- vincial election candidates in their ridings and any of the party leaders who might

extra help. But he added his department will give first call to any local contractors who do have them if there is urgent repair work needed during the “half load” season. Kirby asked Clermont to provide himwith a written explanation about the situation so he can explain to local contractors in his township.
L’ORIGNAL | When the counties need con- tractors to supplement the own public works crews then the local outfits will get priority consideration. East Hawkesbury Mayor Robert Kirby passed on a complaint he received from a couple contractors in his area about out-of- town outfits brought in to help the United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) public works department on a couple of jobs in his area. “If the counties are going to do work in the municipality,” said Kirby, “the local contractors should have a chance to bid first if they can meet the conditions.” Public Works Director Marc Clermont confirmed that the unwritten policy for his department is always to give first conside- ration to local contractors when necessary. “Generally, we have such a policy,”he said. Clermont noted that the situation Kirby was called about involved some work to be doneduring the spring“half-load”restriction period on local roads. During the first weeks of the spring thaw, provincial and local traf- fic regulations call for reduced loads for heavy truck traffic on secondary and other local roads to reduce the chance of damage until the ground below the road base re- settles. “We rarely do work during the reduced load period,” Clermont said, but added that any contractor called in during such a time has to have a separate special permit for both their heavy equipment and the truck- and-trailer used to carry it to a job site du- ring that time. Clermont noted that not all contractors may have those permits or have them in place in time when the counties works de- partment needs to issue a sudden call for www. editionap .ca Everything at your fingertips Tout au bout des doigts

Copper thieves get a good haul gŏđŏ editionap.ca
Marijuana charge A weekend traffic stop ended with a drug possession charge for a Sarsfieldman. Zach- ary Russell MacPherson, 20, is charged with marijuana possession after police seized 16 grams of marijuana during a May 17 morn- ing traffic stop on Highway 417 in North Glengarry Township. MacPherson is scheduled for a provincial court appearance on the charge July 9 in the Alexandria courthouse. Electronics haul One burglar has enough stolen items to fill a Christmas wish list. Const. Alain Potvin at the Hawkesbury OPP detachment is investigating a break- in at a Alfred residence on Mary Street that took place sometime between April 25 and 27. The burglar entered through a base- ment window. The stolen items list includes a black Dell laptop computer, a black Garmin GPS Nuvi 50 LM, three digital cameras, including a grey Kodak and two red Canons, along with a black Sony video camera, two USB memo- ry sticks, and some Xbox games. Total value of the stolen items is $1840. Const. Potvin has another burglary on April 29 that also involves electronics equipment. Another Alfred home located on County Road 17 was broken into on April 29. Entry was through a back door. A de- tached garage on site was also broken into. The thief took a flat-screen TV out of the
The price for scrap copper is so good on the world metals market that it is proving too much temptation to some thieves. The OPP have an industrial break-in case at the Hydro One lot on Skye Road in The Nation municipality. Sometime between April 24 and 28 a hole was cut in the fencing of the exterior stor- age yard and more than $3000 worth of copper wiring removed from the site. Anyone with information about the theft can contact Const. Mario Gratton at the Hawkesbury OPP detachment at 613-632- 2729 or phone the CrimeStoppers toll-free confidential tips line at 1-800-222-8477. Amber Alert now on Twitter The OPP is taking its Amber Alert program into the social media mainstream. The provincial police have added Twitter to its Amber Alert system to help spread the word when a child goes missing. The Min- istry of Transport’s 511 roads information service is also now logged into the Twitter- verse. These digital upgrades mean police can alert residents about criticial situations in- volving children’s safety or hazardous road conditions through cell phones and other personal data systems. Residents can then pass on the alerts themselves through their retweets on their own Twitter pages. The MTO will also post Amber Alert mes- sages on its LED highway warning signs through its 511 road safety notice system.
house. The garage break-in resulted in a large tool box stolen along with various tools and some construction equipment. Total value of the stolen items is about $10,000. Tractor lights stolen Police have a case of a thief with odd taste in stolen items. A farm equipment show yard in Alfred- Plantagenet Township was broken into sometime between April 30 and May 5. The thief left with four lights from Fendt 724 model tractor. The missing lights are a pair of Zenon 72499359 back spotlight-type and a pair of Zenon 724825457 front spotlight-type. To- tal value of the stolen items is about $4000. Boating safety The last bit of ice is gone at last in lakes and streams throughout Eastern Ontario. The OPP have a few words of advice to local boaters eager to get their craft back in the water. Check that all safety gear, including life-
jackets and emergency signal equipment, is in good working condition. All on-board fire extinguishers should go through a routine maintenance check, with either replacement or refilling as needed. Replace batteries in flashlights, ship’s radio, and any other battery-operated equipment. Everyone in a boat should wear a lifejac- ket, even at the dock. Navigation lights and running lights for boating during dusk and dawn or late evening should be checked for working order. Impaired boating is a Criminal Code of- fence with the same penalties as for impai- red driving. Transport Canada has a Safe Boating Guide available or more informa- tion is online at www.boatingsafety.gc.ca., or toll-free to 1-800-267-6687.
