Council majority votes to demolish Ste. Anne’s hose tower John Jantak Your Local Journal

An iconic piece of Ste. Anne de Bellevue’s historical past could become a memory after a council majority vote in favour of demolishing the hose tower that sits atop city hall, at the Monday evening council meeting on August 15.

The six councillors and Mayor Paola Hawa cast their individual votes after a motion was presented to proceed with a request for demolition to the city’s demolition committee. Councillors Francis Juneau, Daniel Boyer, Yvan Labelle and Michel Boudreault voted for the motion. Councillors Dana Chevalier, Ryan Young and Mayor Hawa voted against.

In response to the decision, Hawa invoked a political process called a ‘right of reconsideration’ to give council another 30 days to review the motion. It will then be voted on at the next council meeting on September 12 and if a majority again votes in favour, the request for demolition will proceed.

At issue is the estimated additional $30,000 cost for the tower’s renovation as opposed to its demolition, said Hawa. “It’s a worthwhile expenditure that would preserve an important part of Ste. Anne’s history. This is a matter of respecting the patrimony and heritage of the village.�

An online petition on the Remembering Ste. Anne’s Facebook page was started three days ago by resident JeanMarc Richard requesting the city preserves the tower and has already generated a lot of interest from residents. “People are hopping mad and they’re signing the petition,� said Hawa.

District 2 Councillor Young said the tower should be preserved because of its historical importance. “I care about our history and the hose tower is a landmark that identifies the village because it’s got the name of the city right on top,� he said. “Whether people are on a boat, or when they drive, bike or walk over the Galipeault Bridge, it’s the first thing they see. This is how people know they’re in Ste. Anne’s.�

A view of the hose tower atop Ste. Anne’s city hall looking east from the Galipeault Bridge. A majority of council voted in favour of demolishing the structure, a move on which Mayor Paola Hawa invoked a reconsideration to next month’s council meeting.

District 6 Councillor Boudreault said he voted for the demolition as a cost-saving measure. “This has been my position since last September,�

Boudreault told Your Local Journal after the meeting. “It’s not that historical. If it was, it would have been renovated at the same time as the facade at city hall three years ago. To renovate it will cost a lot more than demolishing it and it doesn’t look very nice.�

He said another structure could be built sometime in the future. “We can look at putting in something else that is more modern and gives a better image of the city,� said Boudreault. “Right now you look at it, the letters are not equal and it’s not pretty. We have the choice to save money by demolishing it or to put a lot more money to renovate and keep it this way. At least for four of us, our decision is unanimous.�

Hawa said the reason the tower was not included as part of the city hall renovation at the time was because it was added in 1936 and did not fall within the criteria required when a provincial government grant was awarded for the

renovation of heritage structures built in 1930 and before.

The tower enabled firefighters who were housed at city hall at the time, to dry out their hoses after fighting a blaze. “It also served two other purposes,� said Hawa. “First, at 9 p.m. a signal

would be sent out to tell children to get off the streets and go home. Second, it would send out various Morse code signals to the volunteer firefighters throughout the city to let them know where a fire was located.�

EDITOR’S CORNER

Cold comfort News that a John Abbott College student and member of the football team will not be back for the fall session after allegedly sexually assaulting a female student comes a day late and a dollar short.

Though it hasn’t been disclosed whether the college or the student ultimately made the decision, it’s cold comfort for the female student body and women in general as the culture of victim shaming and blaming evidently persists.

While the woman presented to police with bruises, they decided not to press charges based on a portion of video footage that showed her consenting – up to a point. It’s ironic that had no video footage existed at all, police would have been forced to take a different approach to their investigation.

False accusations are, rightfully so, to be taken seriously and considered into the equation. But bruises and victim statements need to be treated with the same degree of respect and assumptions of how a victim is supposed to behave cannot determine a forgone conclusion.

Though her identity has been thus far protected, the young woman should not have been made to go ‘public’ to mainstream media in an effort to obtain a modicum of justice.

Dear Editor: editor@yourlocaljournal.ca Dear Editor, Wetlands, streams, lakes and bogs‌ the fabric that nourishes our beautiful environment here in Hudson.  From the banks of the Viviry to the shores of Sandy Beach. On August 23rd the Hudson Council will present the Wetland conservation plan. This plan is of great importance because it divides all wetlands that will be conserved from what land can be developed. This is a big deal because once it is adopted it will be the basis upon all future development (and density of these developments).

It will shape the future of our town right down to your own neighborhood.  Many of us live here in Hudson to escape the congestion of the big city and to enjoy nature. That is why it is critical that we make sure that this plan has taken advantage of every opportunity allowed to preserve these natural resources.

You would think that a plan of such importance would allow for public consultation such as in other communities, but sadly, no, not for us. Â Â Hudson will not be having a public consultation. Â No register, no referendum.

We will not have the opportunity to see this conservation plan beforehand, and our only opportunity to ask questions (to be answered by a biologist) will be at this meeting.

There are other communities that have encouraged public consultation for their conservation plans, why not Hudson? Don’t we deserve this same democracy?

It is no secret that our council is very anxious for development. Please take the time to attend and do your part to ensure every opportunity is taken to conserve as much of our natural resources as possible! So please do not miss what may be your only opportunity to voice your concerns at this upcoming presentation. Tuesday August 23,  5 to 9 p.m. at the community center.

Ben McKinnon: A True Lightkeeper

Your Local Journal

The local community – along with the world of creativity and cinematography – lost a shining star this past weekend with the devastating news that Rigaud resident, 24-year-old Ben McKinnon who - according to an official statement by his family on Facebook - “Decided to end a long battle he’d fought so courageously, so relentlessly for two years, and surrendered his own life.”

That statement, addressed to dear friends of Ben, added, “Our dear brother, our dear son, is no longer with us. In this time of great pain and sadness, we wish to keep alive in memory only that brightest essence that Ben was.

“Since he believed in touching the lives of others through his art, his words, and his own hardships, may you remember Ben in the unique, personal way that he touched you. Ben, may you be at peace, wherever it is you have flown to. May you know that we love you, love you, love you, and cherish all that you were. With love, your family.”

That sentiment was shared spontaneously by some of Ben’s many fans and admirers contacted, with the full approval of his parents, by Your Local Journal yesterday. All of whom said they were so saddened to learn of Ben’s passing while expressing their sincere condolences to his parents Robert and Brigitte McKinnon, his brothers Sam, Liam, Renault and older brother Sebastian with whom he worked so closely on film projects and the company they founded together, Montrealbased Five Knight Productions specializing in film and video production, and his fiancée Lulu Lovering.

Said Hudson Film Society president, Clint Ward, who has screened all three segments of the McKinnon brothers’ critically-acclaimed KIN Fables at Hudson Village Theatre, “It is sad beyond belief. The world of film, to which so many of us are dedicated, has lost someone very special and very talented who I really believe had a great future in filmmaking ahead of him. My heartfelt condolences to Ben’s family

at this very difficult time.”

Said Hudson Village Theatre executive director, Kalina Skulska, “On behalf of everyone here at the theatre, our hearts go out to Ben’s family and all his friends including so many young people here in our community whose lives he touched in a most positive way and who will never forget him.”

Said Bob Kemerer who, together with fellow Hudsonites Peter Williamson and Your Local Journal writer James Parry, spent 10 days in Newfoundland with Ben and Sebastian last year filming Salvage, the second chapter in their award-winning KIN Fables trilogy, “Ben was the consummate cinematographer. Even when filming, we costumed ‘fishermen’ over the transom of a land-locked dorey in a huge, unheated shed in Port aux Basques. We were all freezing. But Ben and Sebastian never lost their cool.

I will always have good memories of them both. They wanted the best. They were so professional. And they, in turn, inspired us to give our best. It is so sad that Ben has left us.”

Said St. Lazare singer-songwriter Vivianne LaRiviere, “Ben’s charisma was also enigmatic. He was exceptionally gracious. His eye for beauty captured so much beyond what we would expect in such a young man. He provided a depth of breath in his work that magnified his philosophies, as he was tremendously devoted to the craft of capturing beauty in the light, in the storm, in the turbulence of nature.

“Ben captivated beautifully the sentiments of one of my songs, Tell Me Life, in a video we did a few years back. We filmed much of it on Rigaud Mountain. He knew the ground well.

It was his home, both physically and spiritually. I am deeply saddened and shocked by his death. We have lost a budding genius.”

Ben wrote very recently, “In the end, light will always pierce through the darkness, beaming fiercely through the shadows, cutting its way through the night.”

There is no doubt that Ben McKinnon’s unique and beautiful light will continue to guide and inspire the hearts and minds of all who knew him.

PHOTO COURTESY THE MCKINNON FAMILY

The community is mourning the loss of Rigaud based cinematographer Ben McKinnon who passed away August 15. The family will soon provide information about a ceremony during which Ben will be honoured.

THE SOAPBOX CARMEN MARIE FABIO

Glassy-eyed I received a police report last year concerning a break and enter in the West Island in which the numerous items stolen from the home included 90 purses. “90 sacs Ă main?â€? I asked the cop. “Pour vrai?â€? “Et oui,â€? he typed back.

I don’t get it.

I have one purse. A friend of mine has – by her estimate – about 40 and she takes great delight in teasing me about my one black purse. The way I see it, I can only use one at a time and I’m not about to transfer everything I own into another simply based on the fact it will better match what I’m wearing, or whatever.

My only criterion for the purse is that it’s large enough to carry all the necessities of life, from a multi-tool to a telephoto lens, from a wallet to a tire pressure gauge.

The purse, typically, lasts about a year before all that weight ends up popping the stitching on the handles and I have to buy a new one. The purse is always black though, on a capricious and wild whim last fall, I bought one that was grey and black.

Glasses, however, is an entirely different story.

When I first realized that I needed reading glasses, I picked up some cheapos at the Dollar Store because actually going to an optometrist and getting a prescription for proper vision eyewear would leave me unable to embrace the bubble of age-denial that I currently employ.

Because I refuse to wear my glasses on a chain around my neck, I now have ‘cheaters’ lying all over the office, car, and house. And in my purse. The same thing goes for sunglasses.

My husband scrutinized a recent Costco receipt and when he saw the word ‘lunettes’ his voice got a little tight. “You bought more glasses?�

I was able to talk him down with the assurance that it was swimming goggles I had bought. I can’t help it if they come in packs of three. It’s Costco.

I didn’t realize the whole family had noticed this obsession until my son surprised me one Christmas with five pairs of sunglasses, all carefully picked out from the rotating rack, and paid for with fistfuls of change from his piggy bank.

A good friend of mine recently lost her handmade in Italy, Ray Ban Wayfarers at a bank machine and by the time she realized it and retraced her steps, the pricey eyewear was gone, likely making some dishonest soul who found and kept them very happy. As I proudly pointed out to my husband, if I lose one of my many pairs, I’m only out a buck or so.

The end of the summer season means some great deals can be found and perusing a display this week, I bought two new pairs of sunglasses, both of which are a departure from my usual aviator frames.

My family decided the first pair looked okay but the second was unanimously declared an absolute no. “You look like one of those raging feminists on Tumblr,� said my son.

Now, the boys know better than to say anything derogatory about women in my presence but when I had the occasion to google what they were talking about, I have to admit they were right.

So if you’re braver than I and can pull off the look of tortoiseshell hornrimmed, 1960s inspired, raging Tumblr feminist, then drop me a line.

I’ll fix you up.

OPINION

Lauren Mitchell

Sexual assault on a college campus

My name is Lauren Mitchell and I study Youth and Adult Correctional Intervention at John Abbott College.

My program’s classes deal with victims of all kinds, including sexual assault victims. But when I came across the story about a 19-year-old girl who was reportedly sexually assaulted at John Abbott during the summer school session, I was appalled and felt sick to my stomach.

Things that are too close to home like that scare me. I read about how she was treated by police and by school officials, and for the first time, was speechless. I am known to write paragraphs of my opinions on my Facebook page about stories like this, but this time, I honestly did not know what to say as I couldn’t understand why she was being brushed off.

The girl described how the assault by a fellow student left her with bruises on her face and neck, after being bitten, choked, and slapped. She said she was forced to perform oral sex on him

in the boy’s bathroom. There are security cameras everywhere in the school, except for in the bathroom of course, but when the footage was viewed by police, they decided to drop the case based on the perception it was consensual.

I can agree that yes, camera footage can look like she is giving consent since she wasn’t fighting back. But here’s the problem; did the police expect the victim to immediately react violently and hit him, or push him away even though the situation hadn’t escalated enough yet for her to feel the need to do that?

There was also no sound on the security camera footage, so how could they be so certain that she wasn’t saying “no� to him and “stop�?

Even if she willingly went into the boys’ bathroom and was then pulled down by her hair and forced to perform oral sex, how can we tell a victim “But you were consenting up until that point�?

NDIP council looking at ways to improve pedestrian safety

editor@yourlocaljournal.ca

Following a full-house July 12 town council meeting that was packed with parents – young children in tow – the mayor and council of Notre-Dame-del’Île-Perrot (NDIP) have taken steps to address the issue of speeding vehicles along the three-kilometre stretch of Boulevard Perrot between Pointe-duDomaine and 101st Avenue.

In the town’s monthly newsletter, Mayor Danie Deschênes said the town has consulted with experts to explore options to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety but the stretch of waterfront road is narrow and presents significant challenges.

The region’s demographics have shifted and though the area homeowners had typically been older residents, a recent influx of young families presents new safety issues. “Because the road is so different from other areas, we need to look at this problem differently,â€? DeschĂŞnes said, adding that simply painting lines on the road will not guarantee the security of the citizens. “We’re working (with professionals) on long-term options and as soon as we can, we’ll propose the project to the citizens.â€?

DeschĂŞnes did not elaborate on the scope or details of the project but said it ultimately would be up to the citizens to accept or reject it. “Whether we build side roads for pedestrians or bicycles, it will have an impact on – most probably – part of their land too.â€?

As reported in Your Local Journal July 14, two residents, Louis Sewina and Yan Vanbrugghe, appealed to council to address the issue following a May 28 accident in which a young child was struck by a car on Boulevard Perrot. Though the incident resulted in minor injuries, it was a wake-up call to

’‹�‹‘�

The girl was allowed to change her mind at any moment and that is her given right, just as a male has the right to withdraw his consent any time he pleases. Consent cannot be seen in the video, therefore police should have continued investigating and not drawn conclusions based on a portion of video.

The second troubling aspect of how the police handled the case is the fact that the girl and her mother asked an officer if the victim should go to the hospital to report her injuries, to which the officer said if she already drank water or chewed gum, there was no point.

However, it is standard procedure for a victim of any kind of sexual assault to be brought to the hospital after such an event.

According to sexassault.ca, only 2 to 4% of sexual assaults are false reports, only 6 out of 100 sexual assault

Elected officials in Notre-Dame-de-l’Île-Perrot are consulting with experts to address a twofold problem along a 3-kilometre stretch of Boulevard Perrot: reducing vehicular speeding and establishing a safe corridor for pedestrians and cyclists.

area parents.

Following the July council meeting, NDIP public works department installed a number of signs in the centre lane reminding motorists of the 50 kilometre speed limit but Deschênes said it’s only a short-term solution.

While residents initially presented a petition and proposed the idea of speed bumps, council said it was hesitant to install them due to a concern they would impede fire trucks responding to emergency calls. Quoting from Ministère des Transports du QuÊbec (MTQ) documents, Sewina said the delay would be negligible and that various models of speed bumps have been successfully incorporated onto many European roads. incidents are reported to the police in Canada and 1 out of 4 women will experience sexual assault during their lifetime. Why are Montreal police allowing these statistics to remain status quo?

The Centre for Research-Action on Race Relations got involved with this after the girl and her mother reported the case to them, and they got together with the college and demanded her rights as outlined in the John Abbott College Sexual Assault Policy which includes her right to protection.

The alleged perpetrator was initially only suspended for the summer school session before the college announced he won’t be back due to “undisclosed reasons.�

The victim is afraid to return to school, will not leave the house unless otherwise accompanied by a friend or relative, and is concerned for her future.

Whose rights were being adequately protected?

Newly installed signs on the stretch of road are reminding residents to slow down “dans votre quartierâ€? as DeschĂŞnes pointed out, it’s not throughtraffic that makes up the bulk of the speeders but residents of the town.

“We’re working with what we have and we’re expecting citizens to act accordingly,� she said. “Fifty kilometre (speed limit) is not bad. It could be 30.�

Clinique de Denturologie

HÉBERT Article 6 : Could implants be disadvised for some patients?

Very few people are being refused the intervention. Each patient’s respective case is being carefully evaluated by the surgeon to make sure the operation will be successful, thanks to a constant follow-up of the procedure from beginning to end. However, there are still risk factors which need to be taken into consideration, such as: - Drug abuse - Use of steroids - Patient in treatment against cancer Are there chances some patients will have a surgical rejection after the procedure?

Nothing in this world can be 100% assured, but regarding implants, their success can reach up to 98% for the lower maxillary. As for the upper maxillary, this one now exceeds the 92%.

These two aspects con rm that the surgical rejection of the implants is fortunately very rare. It should be noted that age is not really a contraindication.

For those who consider themselves too old, it is really interesting to mention that there are people who had successful implants at 100 years old.

There is no doubt implants represent a very promising future in the world of dentures and prosthesis and we have to remember that their easy accessibility is positively very surprising. If you are of those who bitterly regret the loss of their natural teeth, you will be relieved to learn that science can now allow many patients to realize a dream which was impracticable in the past. Who knows, maybe one day, prosthesis on implants will de nitively replace the prosthesis of today.

If you have any questions regarding implants or standard dentures, you can reach us at both clinics.

PARRYWINKLE JAMES PARRY Just a couple of months after the news broke - and first reported here in Your Local Journal - that Michel Poirier had sold PHOTO BY both his IGA MAURICE JEFFERIES stores in Hudson and St. Lazare to Sobeys Inc. pending acquisition by a new franchisee, I learned this past week of other changes in Hudson’s ‘downtown’ businessretailing core. And no, it does not involve that rumour that Giant Tiger has acquired Thompson Park with a view to razing the soccer pitches there and building a mega store and warehouse complex overlooking the Lake of Two Mountains.

Never heard that one? Me neither to be perfectly honest. In fact, I just made it up. But at least I got your attention!

So where to begin?

--------------THE VERITABLE VIVIRY - Let’s start with the Hudson landmark family restaurant, The Viviry, first opened 37 years almost to the very month by Christos Maziofis and Frank Pappas and still in the very same location at the corner of Main and Selkirk.

If you recall, Christos sold the ‘Viv’ back in 2012 with a view to retiring from the business and enjoying some quality time in other pursuits. For various reasons, it didn’t work out as planned with the new owners and it wasn’t long before Christos was back at what he calls his home away from home. Albeit part time just a few days a week.

Well, learned this week that, together with Frank, he is now back full time. With plans to recreate The Viviry of yesteryear with a menu, specials, and prices reminiscent of what he describes as the good old days.

“I’m really excited to be back full time,” he told me over early-morning coffee this week while welcoming - in his inimitable style - breakfast regulars for whom his restaurant is literally a daily tradition. Not only for breakfast, but also lunch and dinner.

“I’m now spending more time here

than I do at home,” he laughingly added. “And you know what, James? I wouldn’t have it any other way!” Nor would we Christos. Yamas. And welcome back!

--------------A CLEAN SWEEP - Meanwhile, retailing changes are also underway at Place Shaar at the corner of Main and Cameron. After 20 years in the very same spot, André Caron is vacating his Hudson Dry Cleaner premises at the end of this month moving to a new bigger location to be named Dry Cleaner Aidan - after his five-year-old grandson - on Harwood near Valois.

And, as he told me this week while picking up some shirts and pants, he is doing so with very mixed feelings.

“I have been very happy in Hudson,” said André. “And I would like people to know that the decision to move was not of my making. But, for various reasons, life sometimes throws things at us and we have to think positive and carry on. At 60, I’m too young to retire and, together with my son Patrick who will be joining me in my new venture, I want Dry Cleaner Aidan to become a real family business that I will pass on to him and, perhaps one day, Aidan.”

A business, he told me, that will see him concentrating on actually processing dry cleaning in a location not open to the general public as has been the case to date. And this is where changes at Hudson Variety, owned by Robert Dubois in the same complex, come into play.

Beginning at the end of August, all cleaning can dropped off at Hudson Variety with André making daily pickups and deliveries there.

Says André, “I would like to assure my clients, many of whom have become personal friends over time, that I’m not disappearing from Hudson.

Just moving to a new location a little further out of town. And I would like to thank them all most sincerely for the support and confidence they have shown me over the years.” Way to go André!

--------------BYTE ME! - And here’s the last - for this week at least - business change

coming to the village centre. Moving in, once André has moved out, is Stuart LeBaron who will be vacating his LeBaron Bytes catering company opposite the Hudson Fire Station with plans to officially open the first week of October following major renovations to the existing space. Triple that of his current 400 sq. ft. on Main.

Says Stuart, who has been in the restaurant business for 37 years and who first opened his catering business - synonymous with ‘dinatoire’ dining - here in Hudson four years ago, “I’m really looking forward to the move. Thanks to the support of the local community and clients elsewhere in the region, my company has grown to the point where I really need additional space. And I am so pleased to have found it just a few blocks away!”

Oof! And that’s it for this week folks on the business beat. Now let’s head over to the cultural and social scene.

--------------PRIVATE LIVES & PUCCINI - Purportedly penned in just four days in a hotel room and first performed in London, England, in the early 30s, Noel Coward’s timeless comedy of manners - although times have certainly changed and this time around with its first ever gender-bender twist courtesy of anything-but-cowardly artistic director Matthew Tiffin - is packing them in at Hudson Village Theatre through August 27. And with good reason. Exceptional acting. Flawless timing. A particularly brilliant set.

And, because of the fact that men are playing women, and women men, a worldwide first. Bravo to all!

Still at HVT, and coming up on Monday, September 12 at 7.30 p.m. as a gift from Clint Ward and all at the Hudson Film Society, a free screening of Puccini In The Night. Spotlighting the composer of some of the most memorable operatic melodies and greatest compositions filmed in concert.

HVT seats 140, I do believe. At press time, not sure how many left. But tickets can be picked up at the Theatre Box Office at 28 Wharf Road or directly online at www.villagetheatre.ca/events/ puccini. Sure is international music to my ears. And hopefully yours!

--------------INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR - And still on the international scene, as it

were, it sure was a truly international affair at the recent wedding at the home of John and Inga Lawson of their daughter, Alanna, to Dan Madularu when guests from Romania, Trinidad and Tobago, the U.K., and the U.S. arrived to join the Lawson clan and local friends to celebrate the happy event.

Dan’s Mom, Ana-Maria, had just flown in from Germany with her very recently acquired Landed Immigrant papers, while his father, Nicolae, made his first trip overseas from Romania.

The bride and groom asked John to be the officiant which, he told me, was the greatest of honours. Mother Nature provided splendid weather and, following the service overlooking the Lake of Two Mountains, all 150 family members and guests headed over to Whitlock Golf and Country Club for a fabulous reception.

The newly-married couple, incidentally, live in Ottawa where Alanna is a practicing lawyer while Dan completes his post-doctoral fellowship in neuroscience at McGill’s Douglas Hospital.

--------------GOING GARAGE SALEING - In closing, let’s turn to one of Hudson’s greatest socializing traditions - year in year out - in our little hamlet by the lake. Namely Saturday morning garage sales! Where you never know who you are going to meet - except for the diehard regulars of course and we all know who we are - and little ‘treasures’ that are immediately snapped up at unbeatable prices. Whether one really needs them or not!

Why am I mentioning this? Because this Saturday, August 20 - and after years of prolonged procrastination - forgive this unabashed plug but from 8 a.m. on, my beautiful Sunshine and I are hosting our very own at 82 Elm. Replete with collectibles, plants and garden accessories, and all kinds of stuff that we have bought over the years but simply no longer have room, or rooms, for.

Do drop by and say hello even if you don’t buy. And as for advice for potential early birds? Ah, in the words of Tony Soprano, fuhgeddaboudit. They never listen anyway!

And that’s a wrap!

Vanier students explore socio-economic history in Hudson James Armstrong Your Local Journal

The History Garden of Hudson became a hive of activity Tuesday, August 16, as a group of students from Vanier College met for lunch and investigated the wide variety of plant life in the garden. They were participants in a daylong field trip to the Hudson area with their professor, heritage architect Mehdi Ghafouri.

“The course they are taking is called ‘Understanding Human Settlements’ where they try to understand how human settlements originated, are founded, and evolve over time,” said Ghafouri.

“They also look at the social, political, cultural, economic, and religious factors that have played a role in the foundation and evolution of that settlement and the cultural landscape,” he added.

Friends of The History Garden, Lorraine D’Artois and Elaine Steinberg, invited Ghafouri and his students to Hudson. Their study trip began in Como, the east end, with stops at Saint Mary’s Anglican Church, The Willow Inn, Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church and on to Hudson Heights in the west. For Steinberg and D’Artois, the Vanier students’ project is the launch of ongoing research in the culture and heritage of food using the History Garden as a resource.

“We have to do a group project on the different parts of Hudson,” said student Taminah Barecht Bik. “We have to research who arrived first and what they did,” added Maryam Nemati. The intersession credit course runs eight hours a day for 10 days and is part of the Humanities Department program explained Ghafouri.

Federal Liberal MP announces youth council for Vaudreuil-Soulanges James Armstrong Your Local Journal

Young people in the federal riding of Vaudreuil-Soulanges will soon have an ear with Prime Minister Trudeau in the form of a local youth council. The announcement happened as local Federal MP and Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister (Youth), Peter Schiefke met with Vanier College students in Hudson’s History Garden Tuesday, August 16.

“This will allow young people to voice their concerns with their local member of parliament,” said Schiefke.

MPs from across the country are encouraged to create youth councils in their ridings. Details on how to partici-

pate in the councils will be available in the near future. “We have just found out about this ourselves, and we need to put the resources in place,” he said.

Schiefke was a guest speaker during the Vanier students’ lunch break in The History Garden. “As a Parliamentary Secretary, I get to travel across the country with the Prime Minister and meet with young people to talk about the initiatives we have put in place for them,” he told the students.

“What are some of your concerns?”

Schiefke asked of the group.

“I’m broke,” replied one. Schiefke took some time to explain the Summer Youth Employment program initiated by the Liberal government. When he asked the group if they were aware of

the program, he was surprised that most were not. “I guess we need to do a better job of marketing,” he commented.

“For the first time in history, the Prime Minister has wanted to hear from young people in a way that hasn’t been done before,” said Schiefke. He explained that applications to be one of the 32 members of the federal council have already begun and will continue until Friday, October 7. He encouraged students to apply online at www.canada.ca/youth.

Noting that thousands of applications had already been received at the federal level, Schiefke made the announcement that similar Youth Councils will become available locally across the country.

A clear ‘No’ to TransCanada Pipelines and to Bill 106 from local citizens * + Special contributor

While festivities were underway at the FĂŞte du Village in Très-StRĂŠdempteur (TSR) on Sunday, local citizens participated in an opinion poll on two important issues that could have a dramatic impact on their future. “The vast majority of people at the fĂŞte wanted to participateâ€? said TSR resident Katherine Massam.

The first opinion poll was on the subject of Energy East, the pipeline being proposed by TransCanada Pipelines which will run along the Ontario border at Vaudreuil-Soulanges, before crossing into Rigaud and through the Ottawa River at PointeFortune. “As a resident of Rigaud, my drinking water comes directly from the Ottawa River, along with 2.5 million others who live downstream including Hudson and Vaudreuil-Dorion.

Transcanada’s leak detection systems don’t even detect 50% of pipeline spills, and a leak at the Ottawa River could devastate our economy� said Annette Richter.

In all, 70 citizens asked the provin-

cial government to publicly oppose the pipeline project.

The second opinion poll dealt with Bill 106, introduced by the provincial government in June. The bill proposes a legal framework for the exploration and exploitation of oil and gas resources in Quebec as well as the creation of a new entity that would be responsible to implement the government’s new energy policy.

Hearings on Bill 106 are taking place this week, with the majority of invited participants being openly in favour of the bill. “Citizens were refused access to the parliamentary hearings, so we decided to conduct our own local poll,� said Charles St-Pierre of TSR. “After all, the bill will allow gas and oil companies to come and drill in our backyards, so it affects us directly.�

Bill 106 will give oil and gas companies the right to drill and carry out fracking in Quebec, giving only 30 days notice to landowners. “If a fracking company wants to drill on your property, you have to negotiate with the company on conditions of access.

If you can’t agree, they can expropriate,� said Jean-Philippe Lafortune of Rigaud.

Bill 106 also gives oil and gas companies the right to use municipal control of water sources and change zoning rules in order to facilitate extraction projects, without consulting municipalities.

The opinion poll asked the provincial government to change the law in order to better protect citizens, and restore the moratorium on fracking in Quebec. Sixty-seven people signed the poll. “The Provincial Government made clear pledges to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Quebec (37.5% by 2030, and 80% by 2050), and the development of non-conventional oil and gas will likely make those targets impossible to reach,� said St. Lazare resident Lorraine Caron. “The provincial government needs to help alternative energy development, not gas and oil development. That’s the future.�

Both opinion polls will be delivered this week to Soulanges MP Lucie Charlebois.

Deluge doesn’t dampen Pincourt’s annual Firemen’s Day festivities + Your Local Journal

Rainy weather didn’t dissuade the spirits of hundreds of residents and spectators who lined the streets to watch a steady procession of fire trucks and emergency vehicles during the 36th edition of Firemen’s Day in Pincourt last Saturday, August 13.

As usual, Mayor Yvan Cardinal led the charge by taking his customary seat in a pumper truck which was followed by a stream of vehicles from throughout the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region, including l’Île-Perrot, TerrasseVaudreuil, Vaudreuil-Dorion, St. Lazare, Hudson and Rigaud.

The local SĂťretĂŠ du QuĂŠbec (SQ) police force and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) also participated and featured their own specialized vehicles including a water rescue craft and a crime scene investigation command centre respectively. The Canadian Armed Forces were also present with a military transport vehicle.

Adults and children of all ages stood under umbrellas and wore rain covers as they watched the cavalcade of trucks with sirens blaring slowly wind their way through the streets to their final destination at Bellevue Park where the customary activities for children including inflatable slides, were set up for anyone willing enough to venture onto them after the rain let up during the afternoon.

Despite the wet weather, residents and visitors showed up en masse to celebrate the Town of Pincourt’s annual Fireman’s Day August 13.

in the evening, about 500 people attended the stage shows that were presented by Dorian Sherwood & Soul Tree and Ocean Vibration. The fireworks spectacle, however, was postponed until the following Sunday evening.

While attendance numbers were down from previous years because of the weather, the town’s communications agent Vicky SauvÊ said this year’s event was still well-attended and that preparations are already underway for next year’s Fireman’s Day. For more photos, please see our Facebook page.

Well, we’ve been praying for it for weeks. And this past weekend, our prayers were answered.

PHOTO BY GREG JONES For rain, that is.

And, boy, did it ever bucket down!

Helping to alleviate this late summer’s drought that has left lawns parched and turning brittle brown, carefullyplanted container and hanging basket plants withering unless hand-watered virtually every day, and even hardy perennials seemingly giving up the ghost.

Ah, the capriciousness of Mother Nature!

Speaking of which, like many gardeners in our region, I lost a couple of big trees during the recent thunderstorms. One of which - a giant White Maple long past its prime and threatening Hydro Quebec lines on Elm Street – was felled courtesy of HQ in less than two hours. And left there!

Well, I’ve not lost them entirely as, once processed as it were, we’ll

have more firewood for next winter.

What’s more, I now have a whole new smashed section of the garden to work on and create once I get around to it.

Talk about the power of positive thinking!

Some of the massive fallen logs are so big around, however, I think they are going to stay there for a while. Although neatly stacked. In fact, as a big fan of author Bernard Cornwell - having just finished another volume in his stirring Saxon Tales series set during the birth of England in the late 9th Century as Saxons battle to repel Danish invaders - I’m creating a temporary Viking ship just for the hell of it. Complete with a dragon-head prow. At least that’s the plan and will keep you posted!

Meanwhile, fluttering around in gay abandon, it would appear that the butterflies are back. And I’m not just talking about the more mundane and much-maligned Cabbage White variety. But rather super yellow Swallowtails, and a big brown and white beauty (see photo on our Facebook page) that I couldn’t name for the life of me, not being a lepidopterist. If you can, I would love to hear from you.

My Viking ship in progress using giant timbers from a felled White Maple tree.

Still on wildlife, couldn’t believe it when a big ‘V’ of honking Canada Geese soared over my garden the other day heading inland from the Lake of Two Mountains. In August! Which, as I see it, can only be because of one of three reasons.

One, food is scarce south of the border suffering in certain states from a prolonged drought or, as we’ve seen in Louisiana in recent days, enough flood water to float Noah’s Ark. Two, we’re in for a particularly tough winter and they

are already heading back to our neck of the woods to stake out their territory.

Or three, like many traditional ‘snowbirds,’ they never left here in the first place but have just been keeping a low profile!

Who knows? Winter is still a long way off. And now I’m heading out, while the sun is shining, to do a little more work on my Viking ship!

Until next time, have fun in your garden. And watch out for those skeeters!

Guides Canins in Saint-Lazare brings in ďŹ rst edition of Paws for Hope walk this fall . / + $$ Special contributor

Dog days of summer

editor@yourlocaljournal.ca

Whether we’re on vacation or back in the office, lucky enough to be retired or gearing up for another school season, those among us who are dog owners know that their socialization needs – from humans and

from other canines – are constant.

Towns are recognizing the importance of having a dedicated space for dogs to run, play, exercise, and sniff to their hearts’ content, thereby keeping public parks accessible and comfortable places for families without four-legged children.

Rules for most dog parks are simi-

lar: Dogs must be vaccinated and accompanied in the park by their owners. Aggressive dogs or female dogs in heat are not allowed. And, most importantly, owners must pick up and dispose of their dogs’ waste immediately.

Some municipalities stipulate their dog parks are for residents only – best to check the websites beforehand.

A well socialized dog is typically calmer and happier with less of the fear-related aggression traits of their non-socialized counterparts. Incorporating dog-park visits into your dog’s routine, even weekly, will have positive effects for both of you.

Vaudreuil-Dorion This park located on Route Harwood at Exit 28 off Highway 40 at the Hudson Shopping Centre is one of the most heavily populated, especially on a Saturday morning. There is plenty of free parking and the park is generally very clean. Drawbacks include a lack of trees and though it’s open year-round, its sloping grounds can make it treacherously slippery in winter and very muddy in the springtime. People are friendly and there’s a Facebook page where owners can touch base to set up playdates for their dogs. Water in buckets is provided on a volunteer basis by the owners. Much like kids after a morning at the playground, dogs don’t like to leave the park without stopping by Global Pet Foods for a sniff and a cookie.

Hudson Large tract of grassy land bordered by trees in a quiet area on Main Road across from Thompson Park. Plenty of parking available adjacent to the park. If your dog likes to run and lives to bring you the tennis ball again and again, this is a great spot. The park is currently undergoing renovations.

Hudson’s Arts, Culture & Communications Coordinator Laura McCaffrey reports, “The fencing is in the process of being replaced and proper gates installed. Inside the dog park, much-needed shade will be created with the planting of several trees. An area for small dogs who aren’t comfortable being around larger dogs is planned, as well as the installation of several obstacles for dogs to play in, and around. For the dogs’ humans, we’ll be installing picnic tables, garbage cans, and dog-poop bag dispensers.  Lastly, as no water infrastructure is available at the park, we are currently looking at the feasibility of using a water collection system to provide water for the dogs.�

ĂŽle-Perrot One of the more beautifully landscaped dog parks of the ones visited for this story. This mid-sized park located at the corner of Don Quichotte Boulevard and Rue de Province offers free bags for waste pick-up and a water fountain for dogs that unfortunately, at the last visit, Continued on page 17

One errant pile of doo-doo was found but this is inevitable at all dog parks.

ing or late afternoon as there are no shady spots to escape the sunlight.

Water bowls were present at last visit but, unfortunately, so were many bags full of dog-poop tossed near the gate. This is hard to understand as a large garbage can sits about 10 feet away from the main gate.

Pincourt Large and hilly tract of land covered with a mix of grass and wood chips great for dogs who need to burn off some energy. Located at 725 Cardinal-LÊger Boulevard, there is parking available. Open from May to October. Benches available for owners but there are no trees to offer shady spots. Calm and quiet area but one drawback is the occasional bad smell that wafts over from the nearby water filtration plant. This, however, doesn’t seem to faze the dogs at all.

Kirkland A massive parcel of land located at the intersection of Chemin SainteMarie and Jean-Yves Street, this would be a great place for dogs who need to run. Bring a Frisbee or tennis ball but best to do so early morn-

Luger Triangle adjacent to Angell Woods, a mostly privately-owned lot covering 250 acres. For years, dogowners have used the woods as a de facto dog run and though Beaconsfield is in the process of enforcing its leash-law with signs threatening fines for unleashed dogs, a number of dogs were still seen off-leash in the woods at a recent visit. Parking is available on a gravel lot off Elm Avenue across from the Beaurepaire commuter train station. Bring your own water supply and some mosquito repellant. If you go, be aware that you’re on private land in an ecological area and govern yourself – and your dog – accordingly. The beautiful

scenery of a recent visit was marred by the odd plastic bag filled with excrement and left on the ground waiting for the Fecal Fairies to magically dispose of it.

Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue Lovely little spot on the corner of Sainte-Elisabeth and Saint-Pierre Streets. A mid-sized park around 8000 square-feet with plenty of mature trees and benches for owners to sit. Free bags for dog waste pickup is a nice touch. Limited parking available on Saint-Pierre Street. One drawback is the noise from nearby Highway 20 and the train tracks but really, your dog won’t mind.

JUST ONE LOCATION for all your repair and reupholstering needs!

This past week, Hudson Village Theatre received from the Hudson Players Club (HPC) the perfect gift of the latest in communications equipment which will be of enormous benefit behind the scenes of future productions, including the current smash hit, Private Lives, by Noel Coward showing through August 28 at the little theatre by the tracks.

Said Steve Walters, HPC president, “The new system from Clearcom, the world leader in professional real-time communications solutions, will allow crystal clear conversations between backstage, the booth, and front of house.�

Why such a gift? And why now? Explained Walters, “Our club has had the privilege of being a part of this community for nearly 70 years. And during this time, we have had great success due to the dedication of our members, ongoing community support, and from the invaluable partnership that we have with the Hudson Village Theatre. It is our way of saying thank you.

Added Walters, “As a non-profit charitable organization offering a wide choice of professional and community arts to the local community and surrounding areas, HVT relies heavily on the generosity of others to help maintain its core operating infrastructure.

Getting a head start on the new communications equipment donated by the Hudson Players Club are HPC stage executive director Andrew Richardson, HVT senior technician Robbie King Moody, and HVT executive director Kalina Skulska.

Le Pont Bridging was started in 1996 by Carol Laws when a local Hudson familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father lost his job and needed help to feed his family of five over a 6-week period. Since there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a local area food bank at that time, Carol helped out and thus created Le Pont Bridging food bank. Le Pont bridging is now a registered Canadian charitable organization, and last year made 354 deliveries to feed 733 people.
