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.
