Une autre réunion difficile à Clarence-Rockland
seiller a relaté l’incident du 15 août al- ors qu’il tentait de participer à la réunion du comité d’Administration. La réunion avait par la suite été annulée en raison de l’absence de quorum. Le conseiller Ber- nard Payer revendiquait un droit prévu dans le Règlement de procédures de la municipalité. L’article 77.6 du règlement stipule que: les membres du conseil qui ne sont pas membres d’un comité permanent peuvent assister aux réunions du comité et parti- ciper aux discussions et aux débats, mais n’ont pas le droit de vote. «Monsieur Payer, ce n’est pas votre co-
mité, vous n’aviez pas affaire là», a déclaré le maire Marcel Guibord. Ce dernier avait également accusé le conseiller d’avoir gêné le déroulement de la réunion du co- mité. «Vous n’êtes ici que pour bousiller notre travail», a-t-il affirmé lors de la réunion du 15 août. Bernard Payer s’en est tenu au règlement de procédure. «Ça dit clairement que les membres du conseil ont le droit d’assister à toutes les réunions et de prendre part aux discussions». Le maire a convenu que tous les mem- bres du conseil peuvent participer aux réunions de comité. Il a souligné toutefois
que les conseillers qui ne sont pas mem- bres du comité ne doivent pas occuper un siège de membre. «On a des comités et à la table des comi- tés, on a des gens qui ont été nommés et on a nos réunions comme d’habitude. Tout à coup, vous êtes arrivé comme un cheveu sur la soupe et vous avez décidé de vous asseoir». Par la suite, les échanges sont devenus incompréhensibles alors que l’assistance s’en est mêlée. Au bout du compte, le conseiller Ber- nard Payer n’a pas été escorté à l’extérieur de la salle par la police.

Vista Park opens in Avalon
Cumberland Ward Coun. Stephen Blais took his son, Stephen Jr., along with him to help officiate over the opening of the new- est addition to the growing Avalon subdivi- sion in Orléans. “Today I am happy to officially open Vista Park and welcome the community to this wonderful facility years ahead of schedule,”
stated Blais. “After being elected, I began working on securing the funding necessary to significantly expedite the building of this much-needed community park.” The $1.9 million neighbourhood park was built several years ahead of the original mu- nicipal planning schedule through a front- ending agreement Coun. Blais negotiated between the City of Ottawa and the Minto development group. The original schedule for a neighbour- hood park project in Avalon called for pub- lic consultation on a design concept in 2006 but municipal budget restrictions from the previous city council held up progress scheduling on the design stage until 2013. The agreement Blais worked out between the developer and the city allowed public consultation and design work to take place instead in 2011, two years ahead of the original schedule.
The new neighbourhood park includes a multi-use field for regulation soccer and high school football games, a mini-soccer field, a permanent asphalt and boarded rink for outdoor skating in winter and other recreational uses in spring and summer, a multi-use court for basketball in summer and a puddle rink in winter, junior and se- nior children play areas, various playground structures for children of all ages, a splash pad, multiple use paths for runners and roll- erbladers along with separate paths des- ignated for casual strolling, a skateboard park, benches and picnic tables, and natural landscaping. “Active children become healthier which leads them to do much better in school,” stated Coun. Blais. “Community parks like Vista Park will allow children to be ac- tive, close to home and inexpensively, 12 months of the year.”

Le maire demande à Guy Desjardins de se rétracter
presse afin d’annoncer la destitution du conseiller Guy Desjardins des comités mu- nicipaux. «Les déclarations du conseiller Desjardins sont allées trop loin. Sa conduite n’est pas celle d’un élu et en raison de ses déclarations, il a perdu la confiance de la majorité du conseil», avait déclaré le maire lors de la conférence. De son côté, le conseiller Guy Desjardins se demande ce qu’il a à se faire pardonner. Plutôt, il suggère des excuses de la part du maire. «C’est le maire qui devrait s’excuser pour ne pas avoir eu la politesse d’en dis- cuter avec moi avant de me jeter dehors», a confié M. Desjardins au Vision. Le conseiller est également d’avis que sa déclaration faite sous serment présente la vérité. «L’information que j’ai divulguée [dans l’affidavit] était dans le Citizen il y a trois mois, et ça, il n’y a rien de mal. Je n’ai pas accusé personne», a affirmé Guy Dejar- dins. « On a lu les choses différemment», a répondu le maire. Raymond Serrurier et Michel Thivierge Suivant l’annonce de la destitution de Guy Desjardins, les conseillers Raymond Serrurier et Michel Thivierge avaient remis leur démission des comités. Ils avaient par la suite manifesté leur intention de réintégrer les comités. «Nous espérons que le conseil puisse terminer la dernière année de son mandat en mettant de côté d’anciennes querelles afin de travailler dans un même but», avait

Le maire de Clarence-Rockland, Marcel Guibord, exige une rétractation de la part du conseiller Guy Desjardins de sa déclaration faite sous serment dans le cadre des procédures judiciaires pour conflit d’intérêts visant le conseiller Raymond Serrurier. Le maire exige du même coup des excus- es de la part du conseiller. Il s’agit des con- ditions pour que Guy Desjardins réintègre les comités desquels il a été destitué le 29 juillet dernier. «La porte est grande ouverte pour son retour sur les comités du conseil. Il n’a qu’à faire la rétraction des déclarations mensongères qu’il a faites [dans son affi- davit]», a déclaré Marcel Guibord lors de la réunion régulière du 19 août.

En réponse, le maire Marcel Guibord affirme qu’il serait prêt à réintégrer les conseillers démissionnaires, mais déplore ce qu’il qualifie d’allégeance à l’ancien maire Richard Lalonde. «[…] cette allégeance à l’ex-maire Richard Lalonde est la cause première des problèmes du présent conseil».

Health board says “no dice” to casino project
The board also heard from several del- egations on the issue during the meeting. Most of those groups spoke out against any casino expansion proposal, expressing con- cerns about the social costs of dealing with people suffering from gambling addiction. The OPH report noted that there already exists “a sizeable gap” between the 13,000- plus people in the Ottawa area now who have gambling addiction problems and the resources available to help them. "We expect that creating new opportuni- ties to gamble might worsen the problem,” stated Dr. Isra Levy, Ottawa’s chief medical officer, “so it's reasonable to say let's not, let's address the problem that's already there." The report also recommends asking the province for an extra $2 million a year to the Champlain Local Integrated Health Net- Patrick Olivier Charlebois, 22, of Alfred- Plantagenet Township was then charged with driving with a blood-alcohol content exceeding 80 milligrams and having open liquor in his vehicle. That would have been the end of the mat- ter until police discovered he lacked his ve- hicle insurance card. He was charged under Ontario’s insur- ance regulations with failing to produce his insurance card.
work’s budget (LHIN) to provide local treat- ment services for gambling addiction. Right now the Champlain LHIN receives $741,000 for gambling treatment as part of its bud- get allocation. The report also recommends that 6.5 per cent of Ottawa’s annual commission from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corpora- tion (OLGC) go towards gambling addiction programs. The Ontario Board of Health does not have the final say on whether or not a ca- sino expansion projects takes place in the region. The finance committee will also re- view the matter Aug. 26 for a later report to council. The City of Ottawa is one of many mu- nicipalities the OLGC contacted as part of a search for potential partners for opening new gaming facilities. The OLGC had said it
wanted just one casino in the city, but May- or Jim Watson has indicated he would like to talk to both the OLGC and Premier Kath- leen Wynne about the possibility of two ca- sino sites so that Rideau Carleton Raceway can continue its gaming centre operation.

OTTAWA | Plans for a new casino project in Ottawa crapped out in front of the Board of Health. Monday’s meeting of the Board of Health on expansion of legalized gaming opera- tions in the city saw Lady Luck turn her back on supporters for a new casino project for the city. Board directors reviewed an Ot- tawa Public Health (OPH) report on the vari- ous mental and social risks from expanding existing legal gambling facilities in the Na- tional Capital Region and then voted eight to one against supporting any such pro- posal.

PLANTAGENET | One driver learned he needs to make sure he always has his in- surance card with him. OPP officers were manning a counterat- tack checkstop on Old Highway 17 in Plan- tagenet late in the evening Aug. 12 when they pulled over a vehicle and noticed the smell of alcohol on the driver’s breath.
Local streams get checkup
SNC summer fisheries students are evalu- ating habitat, assessing bugs, and sam- pling fish communities in the watershed’s wadeable streams. The emphasis is in the Bearbrook sub-wa- tershed located in Ottawa and Prescott and Russell. This is part of the Ontario Stream Assessment Protocol (OSAP)—a series of screening standards useful for making rec- ommendations for enhancing the overall health of aquatic ecosystems. Students, along with SNC fisheries staff experts, are electrofishing at 25 sites to sample fish populations, most notably Northern Pike and Smallmouth Bass. This is a common survey method that re- sults in no permanent harm to fish.

The South Nation Conservation Authority (SNC) is connecting hands-on work and mentor experience with 18 local post-secondary students whose career goals lead them naturally to working with a conservation authority or other environmental sciences agency. With support from both federal and provincial government fund- ing programs, SNC is the largest student employer in the region. Summer hirings are enhancing their educational direction with opportunities in the field such as carrying out site maintenance, and monitoring habitat with fisheries staff experts. Many work out of the SNC offices in Finch, developing communications, financial, and corporate experience during their summer works program.

The proactive arm of the law RICHARD MAHONEY richard.mahoney@eap.on.ca “Proactive” means monitoring the usual suspects, conducting RIDE checks at all hours of the day, constantly enforcing speed limits, visiting schools and making sure that victims are safe.
The crime rate in Alfred-Plantagenet, Champlain, Hawkesbury and East Hawkes- bury has been dropping. Stricter drug law enforcement and closer community ties, especially with youth, were among the priorities cited when Mackillop first met Hawkesbury council two years ago. “We have a heightened sense of aware- ness” about narcotics, says Mackillop. In the first six months of 2013, officers laid 76 drug-related charges, compared to 61 for the same period in 2012. But that does not necessarily mean that substance abuse is worsening, he adds. The increase is more likely a result of greater vigilance. Last year, officers pulled over a record
number of motorists, issuing about 2,000 more traffic tickets in 2012 than in 2011. More tickets mean fewer collisions while more property checks translate into fewer break-ins. “We know the bad guys,” remarks Mack- illop, relating that in this area about 15 “highly prolific” offenders who represent “serious threats.” Officers have been concentrating on fol- lowing up accused who have been ordered to respect release conditions. Averaging 80 checks a month, officers have trimmed the non-compliance rate to 3 per cent. “We are making sure that victims are safe and that offenders are behaving,” says Mackillop. “Our approach is victim-centric.” The commander lauds “incredible commu- nity partners” in adopting a “more holistic” attitude towards victim assistance and re- cidivism reduction. School profile Area students have become familiar with police officers as Constables Pierre Dubois and Jacques Laflamme regularly visit the 21 schools in the county. “Kids want to be val- ued and to be listened to,” notes Dubois. In secondary schools, he is trying to introduce a Youth Engagement Strategy. “We want young people to see police in a positive light,” says Mackillop. “I have seen a remarkable difference in how students per- ceive us.” During his initial visits, students were hesitant. “Now they come up and shake my hand,” he comments. “I try to be out there as much as I can. With time, we will have a whole new generation of young people who will see police in a positive light.” Statistics show that the proactive ap- proach is having concrete and positive ef- fects, say Mackillop. “The trends are posi- tive. But we are constantly asking,‘What can we do better?’” editionap.ca
Increased police presence is a deterrent for the criminal element and a comfort for the rest of the community, observes Mack- illop. “It is only a select few that contribute to the majority of our crime and disorder is- sues – their actions do not and should not represent our community. If you are en- gaged in criminal activity you will get to know us very well, your actions are not wel- come and will not be tolerated.”
HAWKESBURY | “You guys are every- where.” Members of the Hawkesbury-based On- tario Provincial Police detachment have been hearing that comment often over the last two years. “We want to go from being reactive to be- ing proactive,” says Inspector Michael Mack- illop, who in late 2011 became commander of the detachment that serves Prescott County.

Ça été pénible à lire et ça res- semble beaucoup aux railleries de l’ancien maire Richard Lalonde durant les périodes de questions.

Drought impact assessment in the works gŏđŏ

tions than historically recorded. “One of the main goals of the project is to identify areas of the South Nation wa- tershed that would be most subjected to adverse impacts as a result of a shortage of water and to make recommendations for adapting to the situation,” says Sandra Man- cini, SNC Team Lead, Water Resources. The agency’s Water Response Team is to present a report to the board of directors by March, 2014. Studies on changing weather patterns indicate that low water levels may become more common, potentially compounded by the province’s steadily increasing demands for water in addition to climate change. There could be an intense effect on sur- face water resources, including changes in flow, evaporation rates, and discharge amount of snowmelt. It could lead to com- promised ecosystem health, particularly of
aquatic and riparian species. In an effort to help mitigate socio-eco- nomic and ecosystem stress associatedwith low water conditions, the Ontario Low Wa- ter Response program has been developed. It’s intended to ensure provincial prepared- ness, assist in co-ordination, and support lo- cal response in the event of a drought. Under terms of the project, the following watershed aspects will be examined: water quantity, climate change trends, potential expansion of the regional rain gauge sys- tem, development of forest fire prevention procedures, water requirements of the ag- ricultural sector, forestry impacts, needs of aquatic species, and identification of high risk areas. What a difference a year can make. Last spring and summer, Eastern Ontario experienced an unusually extended period of low rainfall and high temperatures. The
Hay East project shipped in emergency live- stock feed from the West, La Nation held a drought preparedness exercise, and South Nation Conservation implemented usage restrictions to cope with one of the lowest surface water levels in 50 years. Despite recent high heat and humidity, this summer, it’s a whole other story. Thanks to solid precipitation in May and June, stream flow throughout the 4,000 square-kilometre watershed is close to nor- mal. In May, precipitation was close to 90 per cent of normal throughout the region while in June, it was more than 100 per cent of normal. “In June, stream flowwas higher than nor- mal in the South Nation and all of its tribu- taries,” says Mancini. “It’s a great position to be in, especially when there’s no related flooding as there has been in some other jurisdictions.”

Fee-free essential supplies VISION vision@eap.on.ca
Essential supplies continue to be provid- ed fee-free to students attending Upper Canada District School Board schools. Under a policy adopted in 2012, students do not pay for essential learning materials, supplies, activities and textbooks. The poli- cy does not apply to materials for enhanced programs or optional programs and activi- ties. “The board passed the policy last year because we believe that all our students – whatever their economic circumstances – have the right to attend school without their families having to worry about paying for materials essential to their learning,”said Director David K. Thomas. “Returning to school is a cause for celebration. It should not be a financial burden on any family.” Materials used to supplement a student’s educational experience and that are not re- quired under the core curriculum – such as expenses for yearbooks, graduation gowns, optional field trips not curricular in nature, school dances, and student recognition programs – may be subject to fees. Additional fees may be charged to a stu- dent if a school community wishes to offer programming and materials “beyond what is necessary to meet the learning expecta- tions of a particular grade or course.” For instance, if a student is building a bench in woodworking class, and wants to use a spe- cialized wood not supplied in the course, the student may be charged for it. However, for those students who wish to build the same bench as part of the curriculum ex- pectations, the board must provide neces- sary materials to ensure they can complete the project.

Le prolongement de la rue Caron démarre gŏđŏ editionap.ca
«L’objectif principal du projet, c’est l’élargissement et le prolongement du service d’égouts et de l’aqueduc. C’est ce qui va permettre à la municipalité de grandir», a précisé Yves Rousselle, directeur adjoint du service Infrastructures et ingénierie. La prolongation de la rue Caron à la route 17 doit également assurer la fluidité de la circulation. La connexion à la route 17 ne se fera que d’ici deux ans toutefois. Aubudget de 2013 pour la rue Caron, une somme d’environ 1,7 millions de dollars avait été prévue pour l’achat de terrain et les divers services rattachés et un montant de 1,6 millions pour les égouts pluviaux. Le projet était d’abord évalué à environ 12,5 millions de dollars l’an dernier. Les coûts pour l’aménagement des services d’hydro n’avaient pas été considérés. Dès lors au mois de juin, une provision d’environ 900 000 dollars avait été ajoutée. Le projet de la rue Caron en était un de longue haleine et devenait de plus en plus crucial pour la municipalité. Celle-ci atteignait la limite en termes de capacité pour les services d’égouts et d’aqueduc. Selon une étude menée en 2010 par la firme Stantec sur les projections de croissance, la Cité de Clarence-Rockland pourrait passer de 24 120 à environ 28 959 d’ici 2026. Cela inclut l’arrivée potentielle d’environ 5500 nouvelles unités de logement au cours des 20 prochaines années.
MARTIN BRUNETTE martin.brunette@eap.on.ca
ROCKLAND | C’est jeudi qu’avait lieu la pelletée de terre marquant le début des travaux de la rue Caron à Rockland. Les travaux, évalués à 13,6 millions de dollars, doivent s’étaler sur 3 ans. Le coût provenant du fonds général, soit le revenu de la taxe, se chiffre à environ 3,9 millions de dollars. Les travaux, divisés en trois phases, assureront la croissance dans la Cité de Clarence-Rockland, notamment au sud de la ville, pour les prochains 75 ans. La première phase, qui se terminera en 2014, inclut l’installation d’un égout pluvial, la construction d’une route à trois voies, soit une voie de virage, un trottoir de même qu’une piste cyclable. Le contrat de construction a été octroyé à la compagnie Robert Excavation. Le projet sera entièrement financé par la municipalité, en majeure partie notamment, par les redevances d’exploitation. Répartition des coûts approximatifs - Redevance d’exploitation (développeurs) : 8,3 millions $ - Fonds général (contribuables) :3,9 millions $ - Réserves égouts et aqueduc : 1,4 million $
