There are no free rides Pamela Pearson Villager Editor GPR— The possibility of an electronic toll, proposed Cumberland Ward by Councillor Stephen Blais, could affect many Glengarry-Prescott-Russell residents and their use of Highway 174.  The road once under provincial jurisdiction became the city’s responsibility in 1997 with amalgamation. Blais noted the traffic coming in from the Eastern counties, are using the road daily but not paying any of the taxes to help maintain it,  stating “it’s unfair� that those users get the benefits but not the bill.  Other sources reported that Blais recently asked city traffic staff to study how many vehicles from outside of city limits are hitting ‘the split’ of Highways. 174 and 417,  and according to Blais, the morning rush saw about 20 per cent of vehicles travelling in from the Rockland area. “The city already charges non-Ottawa residents more in other areas, like getting a library card and registering for

recreation programs.� stated Blais who believes why not a toll — it could generate up to $6.5-million annually for the city. Ottawa city councillors unanimously agreed last Wednesday to support Blais’ proposal by sending a petition to Queen’s Park asking them to either take the highway back or give the city the power to charge a toll.  Member of Provincial Parliament for G-P-R Grant Crack is opposed to the idea.  “Pitting city against city or region against region will only hurt the people who work in and support Ottawa, and put the Ottawa region’s prosperity at risk.� Crack stated that as a former Mayor, he can understand why someone might want to float this as a trial but believes there are serious implications that must be considered, stating “It would set an irresponsible precedent that would choke intercity commerce and stifle labour mobility. It would unfairly drive up the costs for students using it to get to university or college, harm the bottom line for farmers

Being flexible is key to a great show At the first Russell Public School talent show on Fri. June 14, 39 acts ranged from singing, instrumental play, dramatic recitations and gymnastic routines. The Participants included this trio of Grade 4 students. From left, Melissa Patterson, Jessica Millaire and Laurel Pearson who wowed the audience. PJ Pearson Photo See more pictures on page 12 moving fresh goods into the city, and even penalize people trying to get to a hospital.� Crack also commented that this proposal clearly “ignores the fact that since 2003 the Ontario Liberal government has been steadily uploading items from municipalities, and providing substantial assistance through funding and investments.�

Currently, in Ontario there are many toll bridges, but only one toll highway — the 407 — which travels across the northern part of Toronto from Pickering to Burlington. It  uses the electronic system that Blais is proposing from Canaan Road and the 174.  But even Toronto is seeing proposals come forward for road tolls to pay for Greater Toronto Area transit expansion.

United Counties of Prescott-Russell Warden Rene Berthiaume also feels that the toll route is not the way to go and that they will continue to work with the city on the enlargement project which began back in 2012 target improvements and reduce congestion between the 174 interchange at Highway 417 to Canaan Road. “Our position has remained the same since the

beginning. Our relationship with the office of Mayor Jim Watson and the City of Ottawa remains positive and the United Counties of Prescott and Russell will continue to work with them on the expansion of Highway 17 and 174 and to complete the environmental assessment. Once that is complete, we can make a wise decision.� Continued on page 2

Russell Fire Department Lions recognized by Fire Marshal Last week the Russell Lions were recognized by the Ontario Fire Marshal’s Office and the Fire Marshal himself for their ongoing support and contributions to fire safety in our community. The Lions have been the sole supporter of the Russell Fire Department’s Fire Safety Checklist program, which has been running in all three of Russell’s elementary schools since 2007. During this period the Lions have contributed in excess of $11,000 towards this program and without their support we would not be able to run a program like this. On June 10, Lions President George Rogers and Vice-President Julius

Toth travelled to Toronto with Fire Chief Bruce Armstrong for the annual awards luncheon, when each year individuals and organizations are chosen to receive awards for their outstanding contributions to fire safety in Ontario. This year on hand to honour the 29 recipients Tadeusz (Ted) were Wieclawek; Ontario Fire Marshal, Madeleine Meilleur; Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services and Paul Beeston; President and CEO of the Toronto Blue Jays. Each year a Fire Safety Checklist is distributed to every child attending elementary schools in Russell; in total over 1,100 checklists are handed out.

Seniors giving back to seniors RUSSELL — Russell Meadows Retirement Community’s senior’s council, Duncanville Russell Resident Council (DRRC), initiated an innovative program in the spring of 2012 named Share Your Dream, and with the help of Scotiabank and many others, residents such as Veteran Alex Forsyth have had dreams recently come true. Forsyth asked to go to see a new exhibit at the new Canadian War Museum on WWII Radar equipment. Roméo & Rachelle Laplante celebrated their wedding night 63 years later at La Sapinière in Val David. Rae Lowe, another veteran at the Meadows, wanted to have his eulogy ready as he was the only one left that knew his history, so journalist, Tom VanDusen, of Russell, stepped in and not only recorded Rae’s history but published three articles of

Rae’s war experience in the process. Corrie Heystee loves to play cards and asked to have someone play two specific games with her. Volunteers have offered to fulfill her wish. Other recipients included Senators’ fan Thérèse Desjardins who wanted to watch a game from a corporate box with her daughter and Judith Spinder, who lost a front tooth and as a result was biting down on her upper lip, didn’t believe that it would be possible to ask for assistance with this but submitted her application anyway. Dr. Lily Nahri, a dentist in Russell, was very generous as Judith has been a long-time client of hers. Spinder received her partial within a week and has been smiling ever since! One of Gisele Shilson favourite memories of her father is when he used to sing opera to her as a child. Her dream was to attend a

The firefighters actually visit each class and personally introduce the program, why it’s important, and hand each child their own checklist. Once the checklists are returned a single checklist is drawn at each school. The winning child gets to choose a new bicycle up to the value of $275, a great way to start summer. The checklist program is run in the spring and coincides with the door-todoor smoke alarm program. The benefit of this is that the children have already raised the topic of fire safety when we visit. The two programs perfectly complement each other. The Russell Lions are well deserved recipients of this award, however the community of Russell also owes this group of caring individuals gratitude for their contribution towards performance at the National Art Centre to see `Madame Butterfly` by Pucini. During Gisele`s high school years, she also sang in operettas hosted by her school. She will be attending the fall performance here in Ottawa at the NAC. Gisele is delighted and very excited about her dream becoming a reality. One of our seniors wanted nothing more than to bring joy to another senior. She wishes to remain anonymous. The Share Your Dream Program has brought out the best in everyone. The Duncanville Russell Resident Council thanksScotiabank for their innovative Match the Funds Program and everyone else that helped to make all these dreams become a reality. Council is already looking forward to next year’s applicants.

Tolling of the bill Continued from the front Former City of Ottawa Mayor Bob Chiarelli, who is currently MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean and Ontario Minister of Energy, confirmed that the province has no intention of installing tolls or taking back responsibility of the 174, stating that the province has already agreed to the environmental assessment for expansion “We have given the green light to an environmental assessment for the proposed expansion. We would not have done that if we did not intend to widen the road in the near future. When the evaluation is completed, we will focus on the financing of the project.” Chiarelli commented

that this would open the door for the dozens of municipalities that took on provincial roads when Mike Harris was in office, adding a hefty price tag to an already hefty provincial deficit. Crack stated “It is paramount that all residents continue to be treated equally throughout the region. I will keep working with the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing and Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure to ensure that this occurs. The way forward is for all our elected representatives to work together to improve infrastructure and planning for our region’s residents and businesses. As a MPP and former mayor in the region, I know it can be done.”

There are other route options for drivers coming in from the rural areas which would end in more commute time, but Blais also stated it might encourage more users of transit systems or park and rides. On June 18 at the municipal office in Embrun, Crack hosted the Honourable Glen Murray, Minister of Infrastructure and Minister of Transportation during his visit to the G-P-R. Murray is currently on tour of the province, announcing that 89 municipalities will be receiving funds for several infrastructure initiatives from a nearly $90-million pot to build and maintain critical infrastructure assets including roads, bridges, water and wastewater projects.

View from my deck Pastor Vinita Baker Covenant Fellowship, Russell Special to The Villager How lush the green grass, a carpet of softness which feels so cool and gentle to the bare feet in the early morning dew! Spring growth adorns the trees and bushes, the petals on the fresh blooms; such colour, such variety, such newness in the air. A new beginning in the natural, perhaps a new beginning for the internal musings of the human heart as well? Don’t we all want to start afresh? Some start in January with New Year resolutions, some in the spring with summer approaching like looking good at the beach, wearing shorts... Others see the fresh new shoots on the trees and think inwardly of another year having passed but others, perhaps you yourself, may reflect at what this new season will bring for you? Will it touch

our inner struggles, possibilities for our future, or even opportunities for healing in relationships or deeper still, internal turmoil? Age brings about experience, brings wisdom, brings insights learned through disappointments, age brings the right to say “I can still have a future! I can carry on, I can learn from my past and I can walk in hope for what is still to come; in whatever I chose to pursue!” New beginnings are for everyone! We all have the opportunity to hope for a brighter future, a chance at happiness, a purpose fulfilled. Jesus came to revive hearts, renew minds, and restore life. Jer. 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Life is an ongoing process filled with new beginnings.

Russell Male Choir: Looking for Director and members The Russell Male Choir is searching for a new Director (combined conductor and accompanist) as we prepare for the Russell Fair and our upcoming season. The very competent Neville Brown has directed the choir for many years and has had to take a leave of absence for health reasons. The choir would like to publicly thank Andrew Watson and Heather Koss-Huisman who have stepped in to direct us through the end of this season. Now we are looking for a new Director who will come on board before we start rehearsing for our concert at the Fair (around the middle of August). For the past 15 years, this senior men’s choir has been entertaining in churches, retirement communities and nursing homes. Most of our concerts are during the day and this year we travelled to: Ottawa, Vernon, North Gower, Kemptville, Winchester, Morrisburg, Finch, St. Albert, Maxville and Ramsayville. In total we sang at 23 events! The musical group is not a show choir but is “just a group of retired men that love to sing in four-part harmony and sing many of the old songs that our audiences know by heart and can sing along to. Some of us don’t know how to read music very well, but we are learning as we sing together.”, says member Harry Baker. Being able to read music is not a requirement to join. The musical group is looking for some new members and if you are retired and think there are no great challenges left in your life, try singing with us and staying on pitch. All enquiries should be directed to Bill Garland at 613-496-1929 or Erik Therkelsen at 613-445-2899.

Loitering at night RUSSELL COUNTY — The Russell County OPP is recently receiving many calls in regards to young people causing mischief late in the night. As the warm weather is getting close the OPP expect more people to be out and about on warm summer nights. As it is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that our communities are safe at night the OPP would like to remind and inform every one of the following legislation when it comes to young people being out at night. OPP send out excerpts reminders from the Child

and Family Services Act regarding allowing child to loiter, etc, stating that no parent of a child less than 16 years of age shall permit the child to loiter in a public place between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m.; or be in a place of public entertainment between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m., unless the parent accompanies the child or authorizes a specified individual 18 years of age or older to accompany the child. Police may take a child home or to place of safety where a child who is actually or apparently less than 16 years of age is in a place to which the public has access between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m. and is not accompanied by a person described in clause (5) (b), a peace officer may apprehend the child without a warrant and proceed as if the child had been apprehended. Parental liability is a factor in allowing children to loiter with the following from the Parental Liability Act: Where a child takes, damages or destroys property, an owner or a person entitled to possession of the

property may bring an action in the Small Claims Court against a parent of the child to recover damages, not in excess of the monetary jurisdiction of the Small Claims Court for loss of or damage to the property suffered as a result of the activity of the child; and for economic loss suffered as a consequence of that loss of or damage to property. If you have any information about any of these matters call Crime Stoppers at 1800-222-8477 or 632-2729. For information visit www.CrimeStoppers.ca

CASTORCountry EDITORIAL Festival fun By Tom Van Dusen

and the economy At the end of this week, on June 21, not only will the season finally change from spring to summer, but it will also be the longest day of the year. With summer comes a multitude of festivals which will take place throughout the Ottawa Valley. Everything from choirs and bands to those with a dramatic flair will be able to take their time in the spotlight. Russell held its own festival - the Legion’s CelticFest, which is quickly becoming a popular Eastern Ontario family event of its own after only four years, and Chesterville just finished its third year of Art on the Waterfront. Other events coming up are Bluesfest in July, the Glengarry Highland Games mid-summer and the Ottawa Folkfest which will close out the summer months. Not to mention county food and wine shows such as Foire Gourmande Outaouais-Est and the 20th annual St-Albert Curd Festival, despite a devastating fire in February. Each are a testament to the pool of talent, and the interest in the arts, culinary or otherwise, that continue to be supported in this area. These festivals don’t just happen. They are a critical component in small regional destinations, like Russell, in tourism development and thereby in economic development. In general, most events have been sustainable through some funding support from the province, local clubs, sponsors, ticket sales and the beer garden. Another expense is the donation of time - a type of donation that doesn’t have a cheque number attached to it but is rather an investment in talent that one feels is worth celebrating and encouraging. Those who organize, arrange and ultimately man the gates or serve the beer are doing something which ultimately helps their community. As the range of cultural festivals and events continues to grow their impact has increasingly come under the scrutiny of funders, policy-makers and planners. They have started more in-depth evaluations to define potential impacts, either positive or negative, on aspects such as the environment or infrastructure. The festivals are having an effect on the region. GPR MP Pierre Lemieux announced earlier this month a total of $50,000 in support of tourism, and business and economic development in the riding. It is not much to go around, and it reflects how well the shows in our area are doing on their own. So as the long dog days of summer pass by in a blink make sure to take advantage of the many cultural festivals in the valley this summer. It is an opportunity to get to know your neighbours, to participate in our local distinctiveness and show community pride while contributing to the economic wellbeing of our region. Pamela J Pearson

Crafty brewers

Aporkalypse Now, Kilty Bastard, Beaver River. These are just a few of the colourful names – and tastes – brought to Eastern Ontario beer fans recently by some of the growing number of small breweries in our midst. It’s time to hoist a glass to these very welcome merchants during Ontario Craft Beer Week that appropriately turned on the tap Father’s Day and flows through to this Sunday. It’s a celebration of the regional breweries that have been gaining traction across the province, breweries that take pride in small-batch beverages made of the best natural ingredients. I wasn’t aware of the significance of this week until I heard an item on CBC radio Monday morning. You’ve got to love the good old CBC. The public broadcaster may cost us more than $1billion a year to prop up, but it sure gives us the news that matters. Had I known it was the first day of Craft Beer Week Sunday, I would have suitably recognized the occasion when we gathered at brother Mike’s North Russell home for a joint Father’s Day brunch. The occasion used to revolve around my dad but, since he passed away, we brothers are gaining greater recognition for our own humble contributions in extending the family line.

I sipped Argentinian red wine during the afternoon but I should have downed a few Beau’s Beer from Vankleek Hill, some Castle from Casselman, or a pint of Kitchesippi made in Ottawa, all distinguished representatives of the craft brewing industry. It wasn’t so long ago that there were no so-called craft brewers based in Eastern Ontario and hardly any in other parts of the province. When you craved a cold one, you had to settle for the mostly bland offerings of the big Canadian and U.S. manufacturers. Then Hart Brewery came and went at Carleton Place; Beau’s was born and Kitchesippi and Castle; there’s Mill Street brewed at one Ottawa restaurant and Big Rig at another; and Brewing Hogsback Company and Broadhead that I’d never heard of until I spotted it on the Internet. Now area beer-making pioneer Lorne Hart is back wetting whistles with custom product at the Ashton Brew Pub. I’m a beer lover to the core, but a hesitant one. In recent years, I’ve developed a yeast allergy that makes me very cautious about what beers I imbibe. If I select the wrong one, I might be in for a sudden splitting headache, a sneezing fit, and loud gut rumblings… and I don’t mean after six pints, I mean part way through the first

one. Budweiser, one of the blandest of them all, is apparently brewed from rice. I’m not sure if that process uses yeast but Bud never gives me a headache or any other embarrassing reactions. Carlsberg on tap appears to have no side effects, and neither does Barking Squirrel, my draft of choice at the Russell House Pub. Sleeman has a lager called Silver Creek that I sampled not long ago. About three sips into a bottle, it hit me right between the eyes. I had to give the 12-pack to my kids. They’re age of majority, of course. Yes, I could give up beer completely and avoid the potential suffering. But what would life be without a regular opportunity to belly up to the bar and down a freshly poured draft, particularly one put out by a craft brewery? It would be like life without sunshine such as we’ve experienced for the past several weeks. Of the breweries now on the Eastern Ontario landscape, I’ve got to hand it to Beau’s for taking the mass marketing essential in giving a local product profile to dizzying heights. The Beauchesne family is capitalizing like drunken sailors on the opportunity provided by Craft Beer Week, opening with

A sense of accomplishment

extremely hard to ensure that the Oscars continued to uphold a longstanding and positive reputation. With everyone dressed to the nines, this fun evening was jam packed with awards, great food and amazing musical talents that the students were sure to enjoy! Only one week after that event, this year’s graduates celebrated their six wonderful years at STA at prom. Laughter and tears were heartily exchanged by reminiscing on old memories. Coming up on June 26, the grade 12s will also celebrate their graduation by walking across the stage and accepting their long-waited and hard-earned diplomas.

In summary of this amazing year, the students and staff have had so many glorious moments, such as fundraising activities hosted by Student Government, charity initiatives like the canned food drive and Justin McKenna’s Wheelchair Basketball tournament, athletic and academic accomplishments, friendships and unforgettable moments that we are all sure to cherish. As my final article as a St. Thomas Aquinas high school student is coming to a close, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude towards this school and the staff. I can proudly say that this amazing institution has come to shape who I am

Allie MacIsaac STACHS Student President Special to The Villager As the year is winding down in preparation for the summer months and students are seemingly more cheery in the hallways, it is a perfect opportunity to reflect on the incredible 2012-2013 school year that St. Thomas Aquinas has had!

Father’s Day barbecues in Westboro and at the Vankleek Hill shop where it released the third edition of Pan Ontario, a concoction of several regional brews. Beau’s was on hand with some of its peers on Tuesday for a “Crafters of the Brewniverse” event at the Byward Market. All week, Beau’s is part of a “Flights and Bites” event in Toronto offering such delicacies as the company’s signature Lug-Tread lagered ale peanut butter and banana sandwich. It’s also featured this week with other craft brewers at Alice’s Village Café, Carp; and it’s part of a food and beer pairings, and art exhibit and fundraiser, at famed Chez Piggy in Kingston. The list goes on, with several other events taking place in Ottawa, Toronto and points in between. Never have the giant commercial breweries had so much fun! Primary Beau’s promoter Steve Beauchesne will be spreading himself very thin this week. Luckily, he has unlimited access to all those re-invigorating ales. today and I will surely miss its friendly, welcoming and inspiring atmosphere as I continue on my journey through education. Happy summer and God bless!

ALBERT— Since the iconic St. Albert cheese plant’s fire in February, the rebuilding process has been a slow one, says general manager Rejean Ouimet. “It is a hell of a job! Things are going well, but they just aren’t going fast.� The process to rebuild the plant is well underway and based on where the coop is right now, Ouimet has set a target of Christmas for things to reopen in St. Albert. They are currently in the process of dismantling the

panels from their cooler that were damaged from dust and smoke. However, Ouimet did add that in the cooler, the cement and steel structures were not damaged and can be used in the rebuild. In addition, they have been tearing out the damaged cement slabs from other parts of the plant. Ouimet said that most of the cheese-making equipment, that the plant needs, has been ordered and with the clean-up set to be done soon, he hopes to have the actual rebuild underway by the end of June. Most of the

equipment should be in by November. “You learn a lot from something like this. There is lots of paper work and I am just happy to have a big team behind me,� said Ouimet. In the meantime, a satellite store has been set up in St. Albert, across from the factory, to offer the products that are still being produced. “The more people talk about the store, the more traffic we get. It really spreads through word of mouth. At first, it started slow, but we continue to see more and more people.�

Ouimet says things with the store are going well, but some people say the product doesn’t taste the same. “It is hard for it to be exactly the same recipe because we are producing it at two different plants and have different milk. We have just put out the aged cheddar that was saved from the cooler so hopefully people will enjoy that in the meantime.� Currently, production of St. Albert’s cheese is being done in two plants: Chalifoux Dairy in SorelQuebec and Tracy, Champetre Cheese in

Repentigny, Quebec. The cheese is then brought to a reopened cutting room in Mirabel, Quebec, before being loaded up in their trucks and brought back to stores. The organization has about 50 per cent of their employees working, including five in Sorel-Tracy, four in Repentigny and 12 in Mirabel. The support from the industry has been overwhelming to Ouimet. He says he has been quite impressed specifically with some of his bigger retailers. Wal-Mart Superstore began

selling the cheese in the Greater Toronto Area and Golden Horseshoe two years ago, and while Ouimet says it has been difficult to continue supplying at the previous rate, the corporation has been supportive. “Wal-Mart has been very patient with us. They are a big corporation but they understand.� The support has not been limited. “There is great solidarity in the industry,� he added. With that support St. Albert can hope to return to what they once were in Eastern Ontario.

In a fight against childhood cancer, the 6th annual St. Albert 15km walk took place on Sat. June 15. In the photo above, Maryse Gregoire and StÊphany Rockwell with team member Margaret Pettipas (taking the picture) helped in the raising of $27,000 for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. Along the route, which began at the St. Albert Community Centre, volunteer fire departments had the hoses out to spray down and cool off the 184 participants on the sunny day. At the Crysler Community Centre finish, a free barbeque was ready and waiting for all of the participants as a thank you.

Raiders teams continued to get results in OCSL RUSSELL— It continues to be mostly good news in the Ottawa Carleton Soccer League for Russell Raiders teams. This past week, the wins kept coming for the MR3 team, who are still unbeaten on the season. The WR1 (B) and OT7 teams were also on the winning end this week. MR3 It was another win for the Russell Raiders MR3 team on June 12, making it four in a row to start the season. They were in Ottawa taking on the Falcons Rangers and came away with a 4-2 win. Michael Cooney, Patrick McCaig, Phillip Proper and Michael Vingerhoeds scored for Russell in the win. This week, June 19, they are in Ottawa to take on West Ottawa. WR1 (B) Shannon Cochrane had an outstanding game

offensively for the Russell Raiders WR1 (B) squad on June 10 when they were in Cumberland to take on the Cobras. Cochrane scored four goals for the Raiders who went on to win 6-1. Sara Bennett and Emma Stanley added the other two. This coming week, June 24, the Raiders are at the Russell Community and Sport Centre to take on the Russell WR1 (A) team; kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. WR1 (A) Tierah Bereck scored the lone goal for the Russell Raiders WR1 (A) squad in their match against Ottawa St. Anthony Trillium on June 10. Luckily for the Raiders, they were able to hold their opponents to just one and picked up a draw. Next week, June 24, the WR1 (A) have their showdown with the Russell WR1 (B) squad.

OT7 The Raider OT7 team got back to .500 on the season thanks to a win on June 14 against OSU in North Gower. Thomas Steffler, Davis Matsukubo and Graham Cameron all scored for the Raiders as they earned the win 3-2. This week, June 21, the Raiders are home to AC Fiorentina; kickoff is at 7 p.m. OT3 Talk for the Russell Raiders OT3 team has quickly begun to be about avoiding relegation. The team lost their fourth game on June 14 when they hosted the Ottawa Royals. Phillip Gittins did find the back of the net for the Raiders, but the Royals netted four of their own and took the game 4-1. The Raiders will look to snap their streak this week, June 21, when they visit the White Eagles in Ottawa.
