ALFRED | L’opposition au plan d’asphalte dans Alfred-Plantagenet s’est manifestée haut et fort lors d’une réunion publique lundi soir dernier à Alfred. Ce qui devait être un exercice visant à recueillir les commentaires et questions du public s’est finalement conclue avec la promesse du conseil d’Alfred-Plantagenet de tenir une seconde réunion publique avant qu’une quelconque décision ne soit prise dans ce dossier. Si certains opposants considèrent cette issue comme inutile dans la mesure où le projet devrait être abandonné sur le champ, pour d’autres, il y a là au moins, la possibil- ité de recueillir d’avantage d’informations pour prouver les impacts négatifs du projet. La salle des Chevaliers de Colomb était bondée et l’animation vive pour la tenue de cette réunion organisée par le canton d’Alfred-Plantagenet et les Comtés unis de Prescott et Russell. Des représentants des forces de l’ordre étaient sur place mais la réunion quoique agitée, na pas connu de débordement. Le public a de même appris que le con- seiller Raymond Fredette se trouve en conflit d’intérêt dans ce dossier. Ce dernier s’est donc retiré pendant cette portion de la réunion et n’a pas voter sur la résolution pour la tenue d’une seconde réunion. À l’ordre du jour de cette réunion, une demande d’amendement au Plan officiel (PO) des Comtés unis de Prescott et Russell (CUPR) et une demande de changement de zonage au canton pour permettre la con- struction d’un plan d’asphalte sur le lot 18 de la Concession 2 de l’ancien canton de Plantagenet Nord.

Le promoteur P.B. Paving & Landscaping a déposé ces demandes accompagnées d’études d’impact menées par la firme Le- vac-Robichaud-Leclerc et associés en vue de mettre son projet à exécution. Chris Robichaud de cette maison, était présent pour faire part des intentions de ses clients. Plusieurs spécialistes qui ont collaboré aux études déposées l’accompagnaient pour répondre aux questions des intervenants.

Finalement, le consultant Chris Robi- chaud a précisé que le plan occuperait en- viron deux hectares sur la parcelle d’environ 33 et qu’il se trouverait à environ 685 pieds de la route.

qui affirment ne plus vouloir depuis sortir de la maison. Après quatre ans de démarch- es auprès du ministère de l’Environnement, l’entreprise a finalement été trouvée fautive et s’est vue imposée une amende de 25 000 $. Les résidents quant à eux, sont toujours aux prises avec la même réalité. « Jessup’s Falls est juste la prochaine étape, a-t-il émit comme mise en garde. Les citoyens veulent des entreprises qui visent le développement durable, le tourisme et la mise en valeur des attraits de la région. » Après avoir dressé une liste importante d’impacts négatifs, Sylvain Charbonneau avait plusieurs questions : « Êtes-vous prêts à nous garantir que la valeur de nos pro- priétés va continuer à augmenter? Beau- coup de nous s’établissent ici pour quitter le brouhaha de la ville. Le site n’est pas judi- cieux pour un lieu résidentiel…Aussi, com- bien en coûterait-il pour équiper le service des incendies pour répondre aux dangers potentiels liés à ce plan? » Le résident faisait de plus valoir que les études devraient inclure les impacts sur la rivière Nation, pas seulement sur le site visé. « Il n’y a pas d’études hydrologiques ni d’études qui donnent l’impact sur l’ensemble du territoire. On se limite au site identifié », déplorait-il. M. Charbonneau déposait ses réflexions par écrits tout en disant à voix forte qu’il tenait absolument à être informé de toutes évolutions dans cette demande. Bryan Hickey, spécialiste au River Institute à Corrwall signalait la proximité des con- nexions d’eau municipales. Il est de ceux
pour qui le dépôt d’études ne changera rien à la position. Ce projet menace un écosys- tème dont la riche diversité se doit d’être protégée. Un autre, Roch Cyr, déplorait le manque de communication et la façon dont on l’avait plus ou moins éconduit lorsqu’il avait voulu en savoir plus. Une deuxième audi- tion publique est nécessaire disait-il. Mon point est que c’est sûr que nous ne savons rien. Là, il nous faut absorber toute cette in- formation en quelques jours. Les élus, selon lui, avec la connaissance des lois qu’ils not, auraient dus mettre en priorité le bien-être des citoyens dont ils sont supposés veiller aux intérêts. « On ne connaît pas les lois comme vous autres alors que vous, vous pouvez manip- uler autour de ça. » Suzanne Lavoie, l’une des premières à monter aux barricades signalait l’ironie de la situation. « Nous voilà avec un défi de taille. Le pro-
blème est dans notre quartier et voilà qu’on apprend ce soir que notre conseiller munic- ipal est en conflit d’intérêt. Nous, électeurs du quartier 2, nous voilà orphelins. Nous demandons aux conseillers Richard Brise- bois, Benoît Lamarche, Serge Lalonde et Jean-Claude Delorme de nous prendre sous leur aile. C’est un vote contre lamodification que l’on veut. Celle-ci questionnait par ail- leurs le fait que le maire Jean-Yves Lalonde n’avait aucune réponse à émettre quand aux retombées économiques du projet. Et ce ne sont là que quelques-uns des commentaires qui ont été émis à cette oc- casion. Le résident Gilles Poirier, en suggérant que les conseillers proposent la tenue d’une deuxième réunion, allait sceller la période de questions. Le conseiller Beno î t Lamarche s’est offert comme proposeur, appuyé du conseiller René Beaulne. Serge Lalonde et Jean-Claude Delorme ont ajouté leurs voix.
CHANTAL QUIRION chantal.quirion@eap.on.ca
Comme l’on fait observer plusieurs op- posants au projet du plan d’asphalte lors de la réunion publique du 16 juillet, nul besoin d’être un expert pour affirmer que la qualité de vie des résidents se trouvera fort affectée par la proximité d’une indus- trie lourde. Mais au-delà de ces observations, on a pu constater que certains intervenants n’entendent pas se fier aux conclusions des spécialistes et qu’ils ont déjà entamé une réflexion profonde sur le sujet. À ce titre, Ron Walker qui habite sur la Concession 1 s’est présenté muni d’un rapport d’une trentaine de pages qu’il a rédigé après avoir consulté plusieurs études. Ce rapport con- tient, entre autres, la liste des informations manquantes dans les données fournies par les consultants dans l’actuel dossier. « Les consultants prétendent que cette proposition est bien planifiée et qu’elle est dans l’intérêt public. Même si l’entreprise fonctionnait parfaitement, sans incident, ils n’ont pas tenu compte des impacts sur le quotidien des résidents. » Il relatait par ailleurs la réalité d’une communauté à proximité de Kingston aux prises avec une usine comparable depuis 2004. Pendant 4 ans, les résidents ont porté plaintes contre les bruits incessants et les odeurs émanant du site. Des articles de journaux citent les propos des plaignants

Place Mont-Roc to remain closed until Fall
gedy, the first fatal fire in Hawkesbury since 2008. The home did not have a sprinkler system. Under Ontario law, the facility, which was built in the 1980s and passed a Hawkes- bury Fire Department inspection in March, was not required to have such a system. It is not clear whether sprinklers would have saved the lives of the couple who died after the fire broke out on the third floor of the building, Ontario Fire Marshal’s Office investigators have said. The deaths gave new impetus to a campaign for obligatory sprinkler systems in homes for the aged in the province. Since 1980, there have been 48 fire-related deaths in Ontario’s long-term care facilities. The nearby Prescott-Russell Residence, where some Place Mont-Roc residents were temporarily housed, does not have sprinklers, either. But the united counties of Prescott-Russell, which own the home for the aged, have taken steps to have sprinklers placed in the Cartier Boulevard resi- dence. The absence of the devices is one of several defects that have prompted the regional government to begin plans for the replacement of the facility.
HAWKESBURY | Displaced Place Mont-Roc residents will have to wait until Fall before returning to the Hawkesbury retirement home where two people were killed in a May 25 fire. Repairs to the Spence Avenue facility are expected to be completed by September or October, says Mayor René Berthiaume. About 85 people were forced to find alternate accommodations in the wake of the blaze that claimed the lives of Marie- Anne Bonin, 84, and her husband, Jean-Paul Bonin, 87. The town is awaiting a report from the building’s owner, Putnam Hall Retirement Residences, of Oakville, before the muni- CALUMET | Grenville-sur-la-Rouge coun- cil cannot even consider long-term de- velopment of the municipality because of a “leadership vacuum,” Mayor John Saywell said at a recent meeting. During the question period, Saywell was asked when the municipality would prepare an overall strategy for growth in the municipality. “I cannot answer; I do not know,” replied the mayor. “We have a problem to work together and we do not look to the future. We have a leadership difficulty; there is a vacuum of leadership.” Meanwhile, four of the seven coun- cil members have tried to assure cit- izens that the municipality is in good hands. “ As you notice, our bills are paid, resolutions are approved, administra- tion of the subsidies is ongoing and development of projects, within the law, is progressing,” according to a “news bul- letin” from Deputy mayor Diane Monette and Councillors Noël Baril, Alain Carrière and Pierre Lessard. “ We work hard to com- plete our mandate on a positive note. The projects defined by the council, which had been, for one reason or another, replaced since December 2010, started to see the light of day again. F or a few months now, we have been looking at the future.” The bulletin underscores the chasm be- tween the four and Saywell and Council-

cipality can issue a permit for repairs to proceed, relates Berth- iaume. The structure sustained extensive damage during the tra-
“A leadership vacuum’’ plagues GSR, says mayor lors Teresa Foreman and Daniel Gauthier. Citing the “deep conflict” within council, Saywell has asked the Québec municipal af- fairs ministry to appoint a trustee to oversee the municipality. “I believe that this is the only remaining solution to allow our municipality to recover andmoveon fromthe current crisis,” said Saywell in a recent message to ratepay- ers. The mayor noted that Baril, Carrière, Les- sard and Monette now assume “total respon- sibility for the resolutions and by-laws of the municipality. Councillors Daniel Gauthier and Teresa Foreman, as well as myself, the Mayor, are systematically excluded from the elabora- tion of priorities or any meaningful vote taken at council.” Saywell faces legal action aimed at forcing him to step down. This follows a vote of non-confidence earlier this year. Plus, June 12, while Saywell was out of the country, council voted to name Monette as Saywell’s replacement on the MRC d’Argenteuil coun- cil. Saywell used his veto to quash that move. At the same time, the mayor has filed a griev- ance against Baril, claiming a breach of the municipal code of ethics. According to a legal opinion Saywell sought April 5, hewould have difficulty proving Baril has a conflict of inter- est. The mayor has contended that Baril has a conflict because he is a shareholder of Les Sources Véo, the Rouge River water bottling firm where Baril is employed and which has a road cost-sharing agreement with themunici- pality. The legal opinion states that since Baril is not in fact a shareholder, there would be lit- tle chance of themunicipality proving a con- flict allegation in court. But the mayor has not accepted the conclusion, contending it based on hypothetical circumstances. “This opinion doesn’t mean anything,” he said. The mayor sought the legal advice from the Laval legal firm of Dunton Mainville before members expressed opposition to the expense. At the last meeting, council refused to pay the $3,788.43 bill. Saywell had said that so far this year, legal fees for all cases have reached $85,770.

PORTRAIT editionap.ca Summer gets a lot hotter in Alfred-Plantagenet NEWS
is afoot to block a proposal to build an as- phalt plant near a sensitive natural zone west of Plantagenet. At a public meeting in Alfred Monday, about 350 people voiced opposition to a proposal by P.B. Paving and Landscaping,
of Rockland, to set up the operation on a 32-hectare parcel of land north of County Road 17 near the Jessup’s Falls Bridge. The proponents assure that residents’ concerns will be addressed before con- struction begins on the plant that will cre-
ate 30 jobs. However, opponents contend that the venture poses too many problems, such as pollution, increased traffic, property value losses, decreased quality of life, as well as the impact the industry will have on an area of natural and scientific inter- est. Alfred-Plantagenet council has agreed to hold another public meeting on the is- sue. Residents wishing to keep abreast of the process can contact Prescott-Russell counties planner Sylvain Boudreault, at 613 675-4661, or 1 800 667-6307, exten- sion 7104, sboudreault@prescott-russell. on.ca . Opponents have a web site : www.jes- supsfalls.com . Beaulieu’s departure costs at least $77,500 HAWKESBURY | Normand Beaulieu’s de- parture from his job as chief administra- tor of the town of Hawkesbury has cost taxpayers at least $77,500. In response to an access to information request by La Compagnie d’édition André Paquette , clerk and interim administrator Christine Groulx has provided some details on the financial impact of Beaulieu’s dis- missal. The town paid out $59,861.79 in sever- ance pay and benefits to Beaulieu, who was also offered, at a cost of $7,500, the services of a firm specializing in career planning. The municipality incurred $9,591.72 le- gal fees by hiring the firm of Emond Harn- den to handle the file. Groulx and Francine Tessier, who have assumed the administrator and treasurer posts on an interim basis, have received 15 per cent increases in their basic pay. These amounts were not revealed by Groulx, who said the information was considered classi- fied, citing the provisions of the Freedom of Information and Protection to Privacy Act. Beaulieu, who was paid a salary of $128,993, had been administrator since 2007. He was dismissed at a special meeting May 25. The decision was not unanimous. Mayor René Berthiaume, Councillors Michel Beaulne, Alain Fraser and Marc Tourangeau voted in favor of the resolu- tion while Councillors André Chamaillard, Johanne Portelance and Michel Thibodeau voted against. MEMORABLE 50 TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY – THANK YOU! There are no words that can express our appreciation to everyone for making our 50 th wedding anniversary such a memorable occasion.

Assault and mischief charges
The Editor, In a show of solidarity and passion, over 300 strong from Plantagenet came forward July 16 to in one voice oppose the proposed project of bringing an asphalt plant to our town. To the administration this was a simple fact-finding mission, but to the citizens of our little hamlet this was a consensus of the highest order. It seemed both county and township found it necessary to repeatedly describe the process of having to make written re- quests for every bit of information. Com- plaints and opposing views had to be handled in the same manner, making it clear if that if these written requests were not obtained, the average citizen would be excluded from the process at the criti- cal time. Each came with their own set of maps all emphasizing the 120- meter rule. This distance about the length of a good home run or a poor golf drive is the safety zone that assures compliance and total se- curity in all ways. This was also the excuse why only people living within the range of a home run were advised of the project. The least said about that one the better. Next a call for “transparency” was made on all communications and documents per- taining to this project. “Post it all; make it available to everyone”was the rallying call. I was given the impression that publish- ing the information on the internet would be done, however, I remain skeptical. This request showed little enthusiasm from both the county and the township. Considering the lack of information both parties have made available to the population so far, I believe it is fair to say that the battle for info will continue. Absent from the meeting was spin. Intimi- dated by the crowd, or more likely a simple reluctance to create debate, it seemed the only positive argument made for bringing this plant to Plantagenet was to save 50 or so travel miles from suppliers in Cornwall or Ottawa. Perhaps the sad part of the evening was the poor performance and silence of the mayor. newsroom@eap.on.ca Fund-raisers Catherine, Maxime and Daniel Léveillée, also known as the CMD Voyageurs, have set out on another long-distance canoe trip but this time the objective is different. After raising about $27,000 for the Hawkesbury and District General Hospi- tal, the trio is aiming to have a very unique family activity – paddling 500 kilometres between North Bay and Hawkesbury. The trek started July 14 and is to end July 29. NEWS
eling at 121 km/h in a posted 70 km/h zone. The vehicle was intercepted. Cas- tellon David Benitez, 43, of Gatineau, was charged with racing a motor vehicle. The car was towed and impounded for seven days. The driver’s licence was also seized and suspended for seven days. Benitez is scheduled to appear in L’Orignal court August 2. Crash leads to charge A Hawkesbury man was charged follow- ing a two-vehicle crash at Cassburn Road and County Road 17 south of L’Orignal sat noon July 6. One car had rolled over in the collision which left two persons with non- life-threatening injuries. The investigation led by Constable Raoul Doucet revealed that the driver of a black GMC Jimmy 2005 had failed to stop for an amber light at the intersection. Both vehicles were severely damaged. Karl Bazinet, 37, of McGill Street was charged with failing to stop for an amber light.

Schooner recalls 1812 The schooner Lois McClure, which is a full-scale replica of an 1862-class sailing canal boat, will be docking in Carillon on July 27 to commemorate the 200th anni- versary of the United States declaration of the War of 1812. “The Bicentennial of the War of 1812 provides an opportunity to return to Can- ada and explore this important chapter in world and regional history,” say the orga- nizers. The Lois McClure left Crown Point, New York on May 20 during the Lake Champlain Bridge Celebration. It arrived in Québec for Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day and will be in Carillon at the Carillon Canal his- toric site from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. July 27.
When asked directly if he would like his grandchildren to live next to a plant that uses cyanide, benzine and such, he simply shrugged like to say he did not know. He was later asked what the expected direct benefits were for Plantagenet. The speak- er referred to permanent jobs and tax rev- enues specifically. He again admitted that he did not know. This in an honourable man from the education system, respected and, I believe, admired by several generations of this town. Yet I could not help but wonder who was running the boat. What we need from our mayor in my opinion is a Don Quixote who will join the population and storm the windmills of special interests and money in favour of the person next door. This event could very well be a turning point for the future of Plantagenet as we know it. A wonderful legacy for a man of his history, however, is he up for the fight? I wish I knew. To his credit he did confirm that there would be another meeting at a date to be determined. A host of local specialists for wildlife and the environment also contributed to the discussion, indicating in simple terms that the cost was too dear. “Our children deserve better,” said one of the speakers. “No birds sing around Asphalt plants,”said another to roaring applause. Yet the most passionate speakers of all were our neighbours. These long-standing residents and some recent arrivals ex- pressed their views with such sincerity and conviction that one could not help but be moved. In conclusion perhaps it is time to call it like it is. Plantagenet does not wish to have heavy industry in its back yard. It is that sim- ple! This project will affect our town on so many different levels that it should not be left to few people in a dark room to make the call. The solution is clear. Give it to the townsfolk. Put it on the bal- lot and call for a referendum on the proj- ect. It’s the only true democratic way. Roger Broughton, Plantagenet Inspired by the television program “North-West Destination,” Daniel and his daughter, Catherine, started their first jour- ney in 2007 – a 60-kilometre expedition from Carillon to Wendover. Their goal was to experience a canoe expedition as the pioneers used to do it. From a family activity, it became a mis- sion. In fact, between 2008 and 2011, the CMD Voyageurs had paddled 900 kilo- metres as a fund-raising activity for the Hawkesbury hospital, bringing in $27,300. editionap.ca

July 6, shortly after 10 p.m. Hawkesbry On tario Provincial Police officers respond- ed to a call about someone causing mis- chief to vehicles outside a Main Street East, Hawkesbury apartment. Constables Steve Roy and Jonathan Bouchard found a man hiding behind a vehicle. Further investiga- tion revealed that the man had earlier been at friend’s apartment having a drink. At one point, the friend refused to give the suspect more alcohol which resulted in the suspect assaulting the tenant of the apartment, police say. The tenant evicted the guest. At that point, the intoxicated man would have caused mischief to a motorcycle and cars that were parked outside the apart- ment. Allan Chavez, 26, of Montréal, has been charged with assault andmischief. His court date is also August 1.

The vehicle struck an address post and then hit a tree. The driver was able to drive away but witnesses were able to identify the licence plate. The inves- tigation, led by Constable Raoul Doucet, re- vealed that the driver of a 2001 Volkswagen Jetta would have fallen asleep and hit the ditch in front of the residence, damaging the property. The vehicle was driven away from the scene of the collision and was found further down the road. The driver had not sustained any injuries.

Conservation urged as wells go dry
LANCER 2012
newsroom@eap.on.ca FINCH | Area residents are being urged to conserve water as prolonged dry weather continues to take its toll on the region’s water supplies and crops. Some property owners have reported dry wells, relates South Nation Conserva- tion. Furthermore, due to low water lev- els, exposed rocks in watercourses pose an additional hazard during recreational activities. The SNC Water Response Team asks residents, businesses and industries throughout the watershed to reduce their water consumption by 20 per cent. Water consumption can be reduced by limiting non-essential uses (e.g. lawn watering, car washing, etc.). This week, the agency upgraded the low water condition issued May 17 to a Level 2 LowWater Condition. “A Level 2 Low Water Condition means a minor water supply problem has been detected,” states Lisa Migneault, SNC Re- sources Technician. The recent warm and dry conditions have decreased the stream flows throughout the watershed to ap- proximately 30 per cent of normal for this time of year. Residents should contact their munici- palities regarding any water or fire by-laws that may apply. SNC will continue to monitor watershed conditions and will provide updates as re- quired. To assist in regional data collection of the situation, property owners, busi- nesses, and industries are encouraged to contact SNC if they are experiencing any unusual water-related problems. Should the conditions worsen, the Ontario gov- ernment will be responsible for upgrading the low water condition. SNC’s Water Response Team, created under the Ontario Low Water Response program, consists of representatives from provincial and municipal governments, agriculture and other special interest groups. The South Nation River begins at its headwater streams near Brockville and gathers water from as far away as Maxville to the east, and the City of Ottawa to the west, before it empties into the Ottawa River near Plantagenet. Contact SNC at 1-877-984-2948 or visit www.nation.on.ca for more information.

Record lows recorded on the Ottawa
Below normal precipitation during the past three months combined with the ear- liest spring freshet on record are the main reasons for below average water levels and flows throughout the watershed. Water from northern reservoirs is cur- rently being used to help alleviate the low flow conditions. Without significant rainfall, levels and flows on the main stem of the Ot- tawa River will continue to remain below normal. Residents can obtain current information on Ottawa River levels by calling 1-800-778-

An early spring break-up and a dry July have led to record lows being registered along the Ottawa River this summer. Although absolute record low flows have not yet been reached, record low flows have been observed on most of the main tributaries for this time of the year, reports the Ottawa River Regulating Committee.

Quest for a town hall
heads cut off.” However, Baril assures tax- payers that council does indeed have a plan to procure a new municipal hall. De- tails are to be revealed in the near future. Since it was formed April 10, 2002, when Grenville Township merged with the vil- lage of Calumet, Grenville-sur-la-Rouge has been based in the former township’s town hall situated on Maple Street in the village of Grenville. In 2008, the munici- pality purchased the former Roman Cath- olic church and rectory in Calumet with a view towards converting those buildings into the town hall and municipal offices. But that plan was scrapped when renova- tion costs were deemed to be too oner- ous; the buildings were later sold. Potential sites for a new centre have in- cludee land beside the municipal garage on Highway 148 and the Centre Paul-Bou- gie in Calumet, where council meetings are now held.
GRENVILLE-SUR-LA-ROUGE | The quest for a newGrenville-sur-la-Rouge town hall continues with four of the seven coun- cil members hoping to have a new base ready by late next year. By the end of the current term, which expires at the end of 2013, the municipal- ity hopes to have completed a new town hall, say Deputy Mayor Diane Monette and Councillors Noël Baril, Alain Carrière and Pierre Lessard. In the meantime, the mu- nicipality continues to try to sell its current hall, located at 40 Maple St., in the village of Grenville. The decision to extend realtor Gilles Drouin’s mandate to sell has been ex- tended by six months. But the decision was not a unanimous one. Mayor John Saywell fears the municipality is “playing with fire,” since if it receives an offer it cannot refuse on the Maple Street site, GSR will be home- less. “There is no plan for the town hall,” he said at a recent meeting. The issue is one of several that underline the divisions among council members. At an earlier meeting, Councillor Teresa Foreman had suggested the realtor’s man- date be extended. But following Saywell’s comments, she opposed the decision. That prompted Baril to declare: “Incredible! She proposes it and now she opposes it.” Say- well refuted suggestions he was trying to influence Forman’s vote, saying a member could reconsider a position if new informa- tion surfaced during a debate. Some tax- payers also feel council has not fully stud- ied the question. Before people move, they ensure they have a new home, observed Carole Gratton during question period. “If the town hall is sold, where are you going to go? It seems that you are doing things backwards.” She later criticized the mem- bers for behaving like “chickens with the

Cuno Bergner, of Hawkesbury, has a great fish story to recount. “My son, Thomas Bergner, of Browns- burg-Chatham, caught a large musky July 8 on the Ottawa River near Hudson. We launched our boat in Hudson and trolled towards Vaudreuil when a big fish hit Tom’s big lure. He was indeed concentrat- ing on musky fishing and he got lucky. It took about 10 minutes to land the fish in a huge net, especially designed to land muskies, and after a couple of photos, the fish was successfully released. My grand- son, Sean, was driving the boat, I held the net and Tom landed the fish. It was a great excitement for all three of us.” They esti- mate the fish weighed 30 pounds. “We did not measure or weigh the fish, it was more important to us to release the fish as fast as possible. We want the musky popula- tion in the Ottawa River to thrive.” Funds for festivals newsroom@eap.on.ca The federal government has award- ed $69,500 to organizers of four events in Glengarry-Prescott-Russell. The breakdown: $30,700 for the Festival de la Curd in St-Albert, $21,100 for the Festival Western de Wendover, $12,900 for the Vankleek Hill Fair, $4,800 for the Navan Fair. The announcement was made by MP Pierre Lemieux. “This contribu- tion will allow us to reach a larger public and will give our local talents a chance to promote themselves,” said Wendover Western Festival’s President Joanne Delo- rme. “We are very grateful for this money which will allow us to widen our program, holding a first Arts and Craft Show where local artisans will be able to promote and sell their work” Jeff LeRoy, past president of the Vankleek Hill Agricultural Society, was equally enthusiastic about the grant he secured for the Vankleek Hill Fair this year, which will allow organizers to add a new entertainment tent that will house performances by local talent and offer fair-goers the novelty of riding a mechan- ical bull. “We really appreciate the help we get from the federal government. As one of the oldest agricultural fairs in On- tario, the Vankleek Hill Fair draws around 15,000 attendees including many tour- ists,” said LeRoy. “Thus, the federal fund- ing is important in helping us to ensure that visitors get to experience the very best that our region has to offer.”
