Mr. Séguin, one of the 26 property owners on Rigaud Mountain affected by the construction prohibition, addresses Director General Chantal Lemieux on the proposed plan for protecting the mountain.

Plan to protect Rigaud Mountain criticized by property owners Inside James Armstrong Your Local Journal

Twenty-six privately owned properties on Rigaud Mountain have been designated as “non-developable land” by the interim control measures project being developed by the Town of Rigaud and the Municipalité Régionale de Comté de Vaudreuil-Soulang-

es (MRC-VS) to protect Rigaud Mountain. The news brought some angry and emotional responses from several of the affected owners who attended the second information meeting held Thursday, June 2, at the community centre in Rigaud. “How do I oppose this project?” asked one of the property owners of

Assistant Director General for the MRC-VS Raymond Malo who said the project has to be approved by the provincial government before it becomes law. Lawyer and biologist JeanFrançois Girard expressed the opinion that there would be a point in the legal process at that time where opposition could be conveyed. Continued on page 6

Grimaudo reafﬁrms St. Lazare’s commitment to resolve Chaline Valley landslide issue John Jantak Your Local Journal

The Town of St. Lazare asserted its pledge to help residents living in the Chaline Valley landslide zone as Mayor Robert Grimaudo reiterated that the town is working with the provincial Ministry of Public Security on a longterm solution that will be presented to residents this fall. Grimaudo made the public statement during question period at the June 7 Tuesday evening council meeting in response to citizen concerns

June 2 issue that Scott MacNab was told by town administrators that he would have to hire a firm to conduct geotechnical tests to ensure his ground was stable enough to build an in-ground swimming pool. “When we chose to live in the sector, we chose it because of its tranquility and quality of life,” said Samson. “We didn’t realize we were buying a problem. It affects our quality of life because we can’t take decisions on our properties to improve its security and increase its value. It affects our fundamental right to do what we want on it.”

We have work to do. How the work will be done, we don’t know yet. There are decisions that will be made in the next few months, but for now, we have limited information to make any decisions. – St. Lazare Mayor Robert Grimaudo about the length of time it has taken for the town and provincial government to have finally reached a consensus on how to deal with the situation. Chaline Valley resident Richard Meades, who first raised the issue publicly in 2011, continued to berate the town administration for not taking a more proactive approach in handling the matter during the past five years, saying that residents have been living with constant uncertainty about the possibility of landslides even though provincial government experts reported in 2012 that there was no imminent risk. Meades also said many homeowners have also apparently been unable to sell their homes because potential buyers are reluctant to make a risky purchase as a result of the stigma attached to the houses that are within and surrounding the landslide zone. Valerie Samson told council that Chaline Valley residents are also stigmatized because the landside issue means they have to take extra measures if they want to proceed with a major construction or renovation project. Your Local Journal reported in its

Samson feels it should be the town’s obligation to pick up the costs for any private geotechnical surveys because according to her certificate of location, it did not indicate that her home was located in the landslide red zone when she purchased it around 2008. MacNab said that his certificate of location also didn’t indicate his house was in the red zone when he purchased his home in 2010. Grimaudo said the town would not provide any financial assistance for the private surveys and stated the town has been working diligently to find a solution. He added that with the information it has received from the Ministry of Public Security, the town will begin studies to determine which properties are most affected and the work that will be required to stabilize each house. “We have work to do,” said Grimaudo. “How the work will be done, we don’t know yet. We’ll have to find out what kind of subsidies are available and how we would spend it. There are decisions that will be made in the next few months, but for now, we have limited information to make any decisions.”

St. Lazare Mayor Robert Grimaudo reiterated that the town is currently working with the provincial Ministry of Public Security to find a permanent solution to the Chaline Valley landslide issue.

Samson replied it seemed like she’s heard the same message from the mayor the past four years since Grimaudo was first elected in June 2012, and added that the town has done nothing specific since then to help Chaline Valley residents. “We’ve been pushing this file for many years,” said Grimaudo. “We finally got a response from the provin-

cial government. It’s a good thing because now the rules will be very clear as to what can and cannot be done. There are possible solutions but we don’t know what they are yet. With the help of the public security minister and with the information we will be providing them in the very near future, there will be a permanent solution.”

EDITOR’S CORNER

Life in the Past Lane…

On solid ground While it was recently revealed the City of Montreal has fallen behind schedule on its plan to replace all potable water pipes containing lead, it is to be commended for at least taking the preliminary steps in correcting construction issues that, at one point in time, were considered the acceptable industry standard. Established in 2006, the 20-year plan aims to replace leaded pipe on public property that leads into homes, most built in the post-World War II economic boom. And while the city will not assume the cost of replacing leaded pipe in individual homes, it’s embarking on an information session to inform homeowners of the potential dangers lead piping has on drinking water. It’s not an ideal situation but it’s a start. We all deal, in one way or another, with legacy situations that were deemed acceptable by previous preconceptions, guidelines, standards, and governments. And while it’s certain that no harm was intended at the time, positive growth is incumbent on learning from past mistakes. In the last five years, we’ve seen area municipalities grapple with previous home construction that resulted in houses with cross-connected sewer pipes that discharged raw sewage into local waterways, and, in two towns, residents questioning the very stability of their home equity after discovering their houses are in landslide zones. Compromises were ultimately reached but not without much negotiation, arguments, and relentless pursuit by the stakeholders themselves. While an elected municipal body cannot financially atone for all the sins of previous administrations, a series of checks and balances need to exist so that residents who find themselves owners of white elephant homes and not left floundering and struggling for a solid footing. If it’s someone else’s home today, tomorrow it could be yours.

Following a meeting between the City of Vaudreuil-Dorion and Canadian Pacific (CP) Rail 11 years ago this week, the city requested a financial contribution from the train track owners to contribute financially to the construction of a fence that was installed along the park behind Rue des Floralies. The city initiated the fence construction following a discussion on the cessation of the daily train crossing whistles at locations including Boulevard de la Cité-des-Jeunes, Rue Félix-Leclerc, and Montée Cadieux.

Dear Editor: editor@yourlocaljournal.ca Dear Editor, It is a constant source of amazement to me that people move to towns like Hudson and St. Lazare to bring up their children in quiet and safe environments, and then complain that they don’t have the same services like public transportation systems when those same children require a ride to school or place of employment. (Public transportation can be difficult for Hudson and St. Lazare youth – and anyone without a car, Your Local Journal, June 2, page 9). Why should all the taxpayers of these municipalities pitch in for the benefit of those who wanted to escape those amenities in the first place? There are buses available during the week. The rest of the time, parents can drive, just as they used to, in order to get kids to their activities and playgroups in the first place. And as for the young man who lost his driver’s license and is complaining about the lack of bus transportation? Don’t even get me started on that issue! Kim Vale Hudson Dear Editor, It seems to me that most municipal towns around us are putting up new town halls in the $1.5 to $2 million range while we in St. Lazare have to be at almost $10 million. Just what is going on here? Inflated egos or total disrespect for the taxpayers who are going to have to foot the bill? How

much room does it require to grind out more tax bills? I have heard that various groups were told not to sign the register last fall against the project if they wanted their own space for their meetings. Notices for the signing were almost nonexistent save an article in Your Local Journal and an ad in a French newspaper placed two weeks before the signing. A show and tell information session was held three days before the signing with those attending not being able to stand up and address all in the room. The register signing was held on a Tuesday with the first snowfall of the season and the doors were slammed shut at exactly 7 p.m. in the face of those who wanted to sign, but with a slow commute home that evening and perhaps kids to pick up at daycare arriving as quickly as possible. We got 483 signatures with 500 needed and the resolution was passed at the next council meeting. However I do not recall the 914 register signatures forcing a referendum on that trivial Dunes Lake file. Just what is going on in this town? Is this absurd town square renewal still on the agenda as well as that St. Louis/Bédard roundabout? We also have $2 million squandered on this Au Galop farce and $1.2 million for the four old houses on Poirier between Chez Maurice and the park. Remember? Richard Meades St. Lazare

Vaudreuil-Dorion unhappy with provincial overbilling for SQ police services John Jantak Your Local Journal

A positive update on VaudreuilDorion’s current financial status during the June 6 council meeting was tempered with criticism from Mayor Guy Pilon towards the provincial government for overcharging the municipality for Sûreté du Québec (SQ) police services. During the slideshow presentation, Treasurer Marco Pilon noted that of the more than $5 million that had been set aside for SQ services for 2016, the province returned about $1 million be-

es that had originally set contributions at 60 per cent. “It’s almost a steal,” said Pilon. “Initially when the provincial government decided to have the SQ serve the MRC, it was against our will. We were originally supposed to pay 60 per cent of the cost. So if the SQ budget was $1 million, we would contribute $600,000. “A few years later, the contribution went up to 80 per cent but this wasn’t what we had signed. Eventually, we found out that we were paying 112 per cent which means that we are paying 12 per cent more than the budgeted cost.

as “politically motivated.” “You can imagine what this means politically and what this will mean in the next election. They are using money to make friends in other places instead of making them pay their dues. If the province wants to compensate them, it’s okay, but they have to use their own money.” The other frustrating aspect for Pilon is that the money it has overpaid for SQ services could have been used

by the city to finance other projects. “It’s upsetting because we can’t use that money for our citizens,” said Pilon. As for the other over-contributions the city and MRC has made for SQ services the past few years, Pilon said he doesn’t expect any additional reimbursement. “It will never happen. We just have to reduce the impact of losing this money and make the government understand that they cannot continue doing this.”

You can imagine what this means politically and what this will mean in the next election. They are using money to make friends in other places instead of making them pay their dues.

The reimbursement did not appease Mayor Pilon who has been a vocal critic of the provincial government for failing to respect an agreement with the city and other municipalities within the Municipalité de Comté Régionale (MRC) de Vaudreuil-Soulang-

Vaudreuil-Dorion Treasurer Marco Pilon presents the city’s financial report during the Monday evening council meeting.

Pilon said the disproportionate billing that has affected municipalities within the MRC de VaudreuilSoulanges and a second provincial MRC is being done because they are both “richer” than the province’s other MRCs. As a result, there are two MRCs that are unfairly subsidizing the provinces’ “poorer” MRCs for their police services, he added. “We are richer so we are paying to places that don’t have money,” said Pilon. “The government decided to subsidize these places with our money which is not our responsibility. We are very mad about it because for the entire MRC, it comes out to over $20 million that we have overspent for the SQ the past six to eight years. This means that in Vaudreuil-Dorion we overpaid about $5 million. “We’re very upset that the provincial government has taken our money and didn’t respect its agreement and made us pay more than 100 per cent,” he added. “We can’t do anything about it because it’s the government.” Pilon called the decision to overcharge municipalities for SQ services

THE SOAPBOX CARMEN MARIE FABIO

Green and mean Along with my husband and son, I stopped in at a little restaurant in Ste. Anne de Bellevue for a quick bite to eat recently before heading into Montreal to attend a lecture. While placing our order to the nice young lady at the counter, I uttered the same refrain I’ve said countless times in my life whilst ordering food, “No green pepper.” “Not unless you want to see fireworks,” added my husband over my shoulder. I grew up in a large family and am not terribly fussy. I like vegetables. Even the ones that have a reputation for being inedible. I have an amazing recipe for roasted Brussels sprouts with a maple balsamic glaze. And I once made a turnip crumble – don’t laugh – with a sharp cheddar topping that even the kids liked. Anything I’m not terribly fond of – like bean sprouts or water chestnuts – can be either picked out or, in a pinch, grudgingly accepted and ingested. But I draw the line at green pepper. No amount of cheese, bread crumbs, seasonings, or hell, even alcohol, can make that loathsome vegetable palatable. I refuse to even eat pizza if the green pepper has been picked off as it inevitably leaves a telltale slime trail of green pepper flavour behind. It’s a good thing my suspicious nature led me to peek under the lettuce and tomato on my submarine sandwich because sure enough, there amongst the sautéed steak, pepperoni, onion, and mushrooms, were these slimy green interlopers tainting the food I had just paid for. “There’s green pepper on it,” I hissed as my husband flinched and cringed, and my son put a protective arm around his slice of cheese and pepperoni pizza. Hubby went back to the counter and though I didn’t hear what he said to our server, I saw the look of horror as her hands rose to her flushing cheeks. “I forgot!” she called out to me. “I’m so sorry!” Normally I would have accepted the cook’s offer to make me a new sandwich but because we were in a hurry, I said I would pick the peppers out. If you’re still reading at this point it can only be because you hate the little green abominations as much as I do. Suffice to say the melted cheese was hanging on to those bits of pepper for dear life and eradicating the aforementioned slime trail was an exercise in futility. I was able to salvage some of my husband’s poutine while he ate the offending sandwich. “Would it kill you?” he asked, apparently feeling brave. “Possibly,” I answered. Though he forgets, about 20 years ago we drove to Toronto to visit a friend for the weekend. We had just parked on a side street near his apartment and were unloading the trunk when an elderly man was passing on the sidewalk, his arms laden with plastic grocery bags. I had just placed my duffle bag on the road behind the car when, in my peripheral vision, I saw two legs fly out horizontally and heard a startled cry as the man hit the ground. Running to help him up and collect his purchases, he assured us he was okay, more startled than anything else. “What happened?” I asked. “I slipped,” he said and as we all turned to see what he had slipped on, sure enough, it was a vile, rotten green pepper that for reasons unexplained, was lying on the sidewalk, proving that not only is their taste disgusting and utterly unpalatable, they are also spiteful and do indeed have the potential to kill you.

Absent elected ofﬁcials raise Hudson residents’ ire Stephanie O’Hanley Special Contributor

Hudson residents grilled councillors about the continued absences of both Councillor Rob Spencer and Mayor Ed Prévost at the June 6 council meeting, with one woman questioning why the two continue to receive salaries. Despite asking council to add a resolution project to the agenda, at the last minute Spencer reportedly informed council he couldn’t attend the meeting. “I believe this is (Spencer’s) third consecutive meeting that he has not attended,” said resident Richard Grinnell during the first question period. Grinnell asked what laws apply in the situation. “Was Mr. Spencer involved at all in the strategic plan?” Grinnell asked. Councillor Ron Goldenberg replied that a year ago Spencer attended two or three meetings with council, “not publicly” and “then he decided he was not going to be involved anymore.” “So all of you councillors have had to take on additional responsibilities,” Grinnell continued. “He wasn’t in meetings and we picked up the slack, that’s all,” Goldenberg replied. Resident Jim Duff asked if Prévost, Spencer, or anybody else was incapable of attending meetings, “are you not obliged under the Cities and Towns act to have a by-election?” Council voted that on July 1, Councillor Deborah Whitehead will succeed Barbara Robinson in an eight-month term as pro-mayor, acting as Prévost’s replacement until he returns. Councillors also voted to prolong Prévost’s mandate as town mayor, noting serious reasons beyond Prévost’s control and his absence causes “no prejudice” to citizens. Duff asked if having pro-mayors continuing to replace an absent mayor is “anti-democratic.” “We can prolong (a mandate) for specific reasons, for example, sickness,” replied Director General JeanPierre Roy, adding that under the law illness is a “good reason” to cite for absences. As for Spencer, without mentioning his name, Roy said under the law if a councillor is absent for 90 days and doesn’t attend council meetings, “it’s over,” pointing out the next council session will mark the end of 90 days. But Roy added, given legal rulings on such cases, “you can say when a councillor is about 120 days absent” they can be disqualified. Town lawsuits and settlements Council voted to pay Hudson’s former auditors, Bourassa Boyer, $40,000 in an out-of-court settlement that ended a $75,000 lawsuit Bourassa Boyer launched last fall against the town for unpaid invoices.

Water meters were one of several concerns for Véronique Fischer, a resident and lawyer who has an office in Hudson. Fischer asked if people would be unfairly charged for water when water leaks exist.

Before the vote, Councillor Natalie Best said, “The town refused to pay because it thought, supported by an expert report, that Bourassa Boyer’s work had not been done according to the rules of their profession to some extent and still do.” The town would have had to sue Bourassa Boyer to be proven right and this would mean hiring accounting experts and lawyers to demonstrate it was the accounting firm’s fault, she continued. “The cost and time involved in this matter would be significant,” Best said, later noting “the town cannot justify spending more in fees than the potential benefits in this highly complex case, (which is) difficult to prove amid allegations of contributory negligence on the town’s part.” During the second question period several residents expressed concern about the town’s high legal bills and asked when Hudson will settle 16 remaining legal cases. “How soon can we turn off this tap?,” asked Duff, to which DG Roy replied, the town is trying to settle cases. “We cannot control people who are suing the town.” “There are no new ones on the horizon? asked Duff. “For the moment, no,” DG Roy an-

swered, drawing laughter from residents. Water conservation & meters Council approved a water conservation awareness campaign of up to $10,000 as part of Hudson’s water conservation strategy. Councillor Nicole Durand said eventually the town plans to have water meters in the town’s businesses and homes. During the second question period resident Véronique Fischer questioned the wisdom of introducing water meters since water loss can be due to leakage rather than people wasting water and asked when metering would begin. “How much leakage do we have in our water pipes?” Fischer asked, to which Whitehead replied, “I do not have that information.” Goldenberg told Fischer, “The plan is for the commercial water meters to come first, residential are a long term project,” adding that the town is seeking financing through government infrastructure programs. When Duff asked whether commercial water metering made sense, Goldenberg replied, “I think the businesses wanted water meters...that’s why we went ahead with it.”

False Fire Alarm By-Law Resident Eva McCartney asked during the first question period why some rates charged for false fire alarms are double Montreal’s rates. “The third intervention in Montreal is $250, in Hudson it’s $500. Why is there such a discrepancy?” DG Roy responded, “I will ask the Fire Chief why he suggested that.” McCartney asked why copies of the bylaw were only available in French, given the size of Hudson’s English community. “We are a bilingual city and we really try our best,” Roy said, adding the bylaw would be translated into English as soon as possible. “Please let’s not take the chance of somebody disconnecting their fire system because they have one or two (false alarms) and they’re worried about the fines,” resident Frank Hicks implored during the second question period, as he urged council to revise the fines.

Following its sudden closure April 29, work began June 3 on the Montée Cadieux overpass that traverses Highway 40 in Vaudreuil-Dorion between Route Harwood and Jean-Lesage Street. “Repairs have begun using a projected concrete process to cover the reinforcement bars located under the bridge deck and on the eastern side of the bridge,” said the Quebec Ministry of Transport in a communiqué issued June 6. The work is expected to take about five weeks and will reportedly allow for the full reopening of the overpass upon completion. Westbound traffic on Highway 40 is reduced to one lane between the Toronto/Ottawa split and the Montée Cadieux overpass. Transport Quebec is warning that work could be postponed in the event of adverse weather conditions.

Vaudreuil MNA Marie-Claude Nichols takes on physical challenge to fund healthy lifestyles for kids Amanda Shore Special contributor

Before she was invited to participate in Le Grand défi Pierre Lavoie, MarieClaude Nichols didn’t own a bicycle. “I bought a bike and I bought a stationary bike stand to train in my home. I started at my house, in my basement, in December 2015,” said Nichols. “But it’s easy at home, you can pedal and you can watch Netflix, or you can do anything else when you’re sitting there and you’re just pedaling. You don’t have to concentrate. But when you go outside it’s a different story.”

For sure, I’m going to finish. I don’t know if I’m going to finish at the same time as everyy one else, but I will finish it. – Vaudreuil MNA Marie-Claude Nichols PHOTO BY AMANDA SHORE

Nichols is the Liberal MNA for Vaudreuil, and the first woman from the National Assembly to participate in Le Grand défi Pierre Lavoie. She is cycling to raise funds for l’école José-Maria de Terrasse-Vaudreuil. Her goal is to raise $11,000, all of which will go to help the school fund activities that promote a

healthy lifestyle. The students at l’école José-Maria are big supporters of Nichols. When she visited them at their school they presented her with posters and words of encouragement. They were very ex-

cited for her bike ride and peppered her with questions. They were especially interested in the special shoes that Nichols wears that clip into the pedals on her bike. “My big insecurity about biking is that we have our feet attached to the bike,” Nichols said she told the students, “I was really scared, I thought, I have to slow down because you can’t just put your foot down, you have to click out to put your foot down. I fell a lot.” In addition to her uncertainty over her cycling shoes, Nichols also faces a big physical challenge with this race. Although she plays volleyball and jogs

regularly, cycling is a new activity for her. “It’s hard. I’m sore everywhere. I’m sore on the inside of my hands, on my legs… we’re doing intensive training.” What keeps Nichols going is her belief in the cause. The mission of le Grand défi is to encourage children to adopt healthy lifestyles. Nichols believes that children today spend too much time on their electronic devices. She calls them the “tablet generation.” She’s taking on this challenge to inspire children to get moving and to raise money to help their school create programs that will help them develop healthy habits. Le Grand défi Pierre Lavoie begins on June 16 in Saguenay-Lac-SaintJean. From there, Nichols and her teammates will spend four days cycling the 1000 km to the Stade Olympique in downtown Montreal. They won’t, however, be doing the whole route at once. There are several stops planned along the way that will allow the team to get some rest and a bit of sleep. Even so, Nichols expects it to be a grueling ride to the finish line. “I will finish for sure. It’s psychological. I don’t want to be sitting in the, l’autobus de la honte (the bus of shame) so I won’t sit there. For sure, I’m going to finish. I don’t know if I’m going to finish at the same time as everyone else, but I will finish it.” On Sunday, June 19, Nichols and her team will be riding through Pincourt on the last leg of their journey.

Station 3 covering Île Bizard, Pierrefonds-Roxboro and Ste.

Daniel Maheu said the caller told the woman she had 30 minutes to pay otherwise the RCMP would be contacted. Frightened, the woman complied with the request to purchase nine iTunes cards at a value of $100 each at a nearby pharmacy. The caller also demanded the cards’ activation codes. Once he had the information, he hung up. Const. Maheu is reminding residents that any phone calls demanding money are fraudulent and if you receive this type of call not to engage in conversation and not to comply with any requests for funds. Police will conduct an investigation whenever possible. ••• Maintenance workers at a grocery store on St. John’s Boulevard were threatened with a knife May 20 by a would-be robber who gained entry to the store after hours.

Sun Youth Bike Patrol teams up with the SPVM For the 32nd consecutive summer the Sun Youth Bike Patrol will be present on streets, bike paths, parks, and playgrounds, emphasizing a sense of safety and community in the public spaces of the Greater Montreal area. Trained in first aid and other public safety skills, the 24 patrollers will also deliver different seminars on public and bicycle safety, and be a presence at festivals, community events, and fundraisers for local organizations throughout the summer. Wherever

they are, they will act as the eyes and ears of the Montreal Police, working closely with nine local police stations across Montreal and the West Island for a period of 10 weeks, starting June 6 and finishing August 12, 2016. The 32nd Edition of the Bike Patrol is made possible by the Federal Government and Thomas Mulcair, as well as the Quebec Ministry of Public Security and Jacques Chagnon, President of the National Assembly. Local businesses also make an indispensable

contribution to the Bike Patrol, including Dorel Industries, who supply the durable mountain bikes used by Sun Youth’s Patrollers throughout the summer. Additionally, Toyota Gabriel and General Director Nazih Chemali will provide the patrol with an administrative vehicle. The Sun Youth Bike Patrol is also made possible by financial support from the Gustav Levinschi Foundation.

Hudson Fire Department report for May 2016 In the month of May, the Hudson Fire Department (HFD) responded to 19 medical calls and seven fire calls, including car accidents and boat rescue calls. This month was a busy one for the fire prevention division. All schools and daycares had an evacuation practice and all were successful. We would like to thank the school teachers and staff as well as the daycare providers for their efforts in making these establishments as safe as possible. On May 25 and 27, we opened our firehouse doors to two daycares for a prevention talk and tour of the equipment. We have seen an increase in fire safety knowledge within the kids over the years and this is a great reflection of the involvement of parents and teachers in raising awareness and we encourage all of you to continue. Remember to keep practicing home evacuation to train your children on exiting the building in case of a fire and also to pick an assembly point outside the home where all members must meet to be sure everyone is out in an emergency. We are always open to having groups for a visit so please contact us if you would like to schedule a date and time. On May 7, we hosted an event called Capital to Capital bike ride.

This event was to raise awareness for PTSD for emergency service personnel and there were approximately 80 riders participating. The rider group was comprised of a mixture of EMS and firefighters and some came from as far away as FDNY (New York City Fire Department). They started in Ottawa and were headed to Boston to then end their ride in Washington, DC. Our firehouse was their first stop and

we were very grateful to be part of this campaign. Next year we hope to have the opportunity to invite all the fire departments, police, and the ambulance service in the area to come down and support these riders as well as the cause. We would like to thank Secondhand Stories, in coordination with Que de Bonnes Choses, who donated a generous amount of $326 for our

Christmas basket fund which is used every year over the holidays to support needy families. CPR courses are in full swing and we just completed a group of lifeguards that will be working for the community pool this summer. Contact email: hfd@hudson.quebec Phone: (450) 458-5190

Fondation Amal bettering lives for all kids in the community Jenny Therriault Special contributor

Fondation Amal, the brainchild of a dedicated young team of philanthropreneurs that represents a hardworking and hard-playing young urban crowd, is celebrating their 5th anniversary this year. Co-founder and local resident of Saint-Lazare, Jenny Therriault explains that the experience during the MBA program at Concordia University’s John Molson School of Business (JMSB) brought the founders together five years ago. Wanting to give back to the community and keep

in touch, the foundation was incorporated. Fondation Amal is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to enrich the quality of life of children with physical and mental disabilities and chronic illnesses through advocacy and fundraising. Having gifted over $75,000 to charities, this year funds donated will help support Centre Philou, a centre that provides around the clock stimulation, therapy, education and respite care to children age 0-15 with multiple disabilities. As the founders are all under 35, their vision also entails encouraging

philanthropy in younger generations between ages 25-39. They do so by creating unique and trendy signature events with a younger flare showcasing local talents and artisans and also by encouraging young students to understand philanthropy through internship opportunities with Marianopolis College and JMSB. Smaller events and collaborations take place throughout the year to encourage different levels of engagement and different communities. For example, on Thursday, June 16, McKibbins Irish Pub in Vaudreuil-Dorion will be hosting a special night for the Foundation starting at 7 p.m. Having met Jenny back in high school, Sean O’Connell, co-owner and operator of McKibbins always tries to lend a hand in the community. Often hosting events for local schools and sports teams, the SPCA, l’Actuel- a local food drive, and supports Movember every year, it was a natural fit for him to support the cause of children with chronic illnesses. As well, the foundation was also the

first organization worldwide to prepare an adapted track for the Spartan race. In collaboration with the Spartan organizers, a pilot project started back in 2014 where people with physical disabilities were able to run a Spartan race. The feeling of pride and accomplishment was overwhelming when they crossed the finish line, as everyone rejoiced and lived in an inclusive moment. The next Fondation Amal race will take place at Mount Orford July 17. Today, with the original founders careers’ leading everyone in different directions, Sherin Al-Safadi, Mirella Mokbell, Klemen Ferjan and Jenny are still hands on but rely on an ever growing and supportive team of over 13 dedicated people, including board members and many recurring volunteers, the fifth year will definitely be one to remember. If you are interested in joining the Fondation Amal Spartan team, know someone with a disability who would like to get involved in the race or reserve a spot at McKibbins for June 16, contact Jenny at (514) 679-5471.

PARRYWINKLE JAMES PARRY Just for a change of pace, let’s go golfing this week. Albeit in my case, very, very vicariously. You see, I’m not a golfer by any PHOTO BY stretch of the MAURICE JEFFERIES imagination. Never have been, never will be. Because dear readers - and please don’t take this the wrong way - I’ve always considered the majority of golfers to be a fanatical, fickle, frustrated bunch. Up at the crack of dawn to get a good tee-off time. Upon arrival, carping about the foursome in front of them being too slow. And then after the game, spending the rest of the day analyzing and rabbiting on about what they did wrong on the 7th hole or whatever. Pick a number. Or how they were robbed of an easy 2-foot putt by the aftershock of an earthquake somewhere in South America. Or how…. Well, you get the idea. Nah, it’s not for me. To be candid, and with apologies to all would-be caddies out there, I have only played once in my life. Came in with a score of 63 if memory serves me correct. And I was only on the 5th hole! Hey, even Tiger Woods has his off day. Suffice to say that I used the clubs, bought at The Bunker, as starter supports for my tomato plants a few weeks later. Apparently, the tomatoes didn’t take to them either. They all died! --------------FORE! - That being said, I have nothing but praise and admiration for golfing guys and gals - those with a hard-won handicap and duffers who don’t know a bogey from an eagle alike - who organize and partake in fundraising tournaments in support of so many worthwhile causes in our community. Both locally and more far reaching. I’m thinking of people like Grahame Dorcas, Paul Alexander, Keith Dugas, Kristen Wilkin, Jim Beauchamp, Dion Cochrane and Scott Crowder who have been volunteering tirelessly to make this year’s 6th Annual Cunninghams Pub-Hudson Charity

Golf Tourney - which tees off at Whitlock Golf & Country Club in Hudson on June 20 - the biggest and best ever. To date, they have raised over $90,000 for causes near and dear to their hearts and our community. Including the Canadian Kidney Foundation, Palliative Care, Le Pont/ Bridging Food Bank, Canadian Breast Cancer Association, and Team Stock. Says Jim Beauchamp, “This year, we will continue the tradition and we are counting on participants and sponsors to put us over the $100,000 mark. This time around, we will also be supporting the Centre montérégien de réadaptation (CMR) which provides rehabilitation services within our community for people with motor disabilities as well as hearing or language challenges. Also Dean Stock and his family’s fight against ALS. And once again, Karen Major and her team will be on hand to raise awareness and funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Association.” The day comprises golf, cart, BBQ lunch, supper, and incredible prizes. The cost is $700 per foursome and if you would like to sign up or become a sponsor, Jim would love to hear from you and he can be reached at (514) 457-0080 in Ste. Anne de Bellevue, (450) 458-2122 in Hudson, or at (514) 691-2721. --------------TEEING OFF AT HVT - Speaking of foursomes, if you would like see real hijinks on the links, then does Hudson Village Theatre have a treat in store for you! An hilarious comedy penned by Canada’s much-loved and most prolific playwright, Norm Foster, titled The Ladies Foursome, directed by Alison Darcy of Scapegoat Carnivale fame, and opening June 22 through July 10. Without giving the game away - pardon the pun - it’s the day following the wake for Catherine, Margot, Connie and Tate’s weekly golf partner, when the threesome gather on the tee with newcomer, Dory, to play a round in honour of their dearly departed. Over the ‘course’ of the next 18 holes, the rigours of golf pale in comparison to the surprises and confessions that

emerge as the women discuss everything from life and love to men and sex. Explaining his choice of Alison to direct Foster’s latest, Matthew Tiffin, HVT’s Artistic Director, told me, “I’ve long been a fan of Alison’s work, and have admired her talent, artistry, determination, and all the passion and good work she’s given Montreal. When I read this hilarious play, the first person I thought of was her.” Margot, a devoted fan of the alcoholic beverage, is played by Susan Glover, last seen at HVT in Colleen Curran’s Casa de Mary Margaret. Shannon Hamilton, who recently finished filming her second season with the kids CBC show, The Moblees, makes her HVT debut as Tate. Mary Harvey, star of the 2014 HVT production of The 39 Steps, returns as the highly-sexed cougar, Connie. And Eleanor Noble, who had audiences in stitches during HVT’s Wife Begins at Forty two summers ago, rounds out the cast as Dory, the newcomer from the country. Sure promises to be a hoot and for reservations call the Box Office at (450) 458-5361 or go to villagetheatre.ca --------------MUMMY BUNNY - Still on golf, for I need a segue. Now while I know there may be ‘eagles’ and perhaps the occasional wildlife interloper on the greens and fairways of Whitlock on Côte St. Charles, not sure if there have been any rabbit sightings recently. But I do know for sure that they are alive and well in the garden of Hudsonites, Don Kerbyson and Terry Haselhundel on Elm Street. More

specifically, a mummy and her three baby bunnies who can’t be more than a few weeks old. What’s more, they have the pic to prove it. (See photo below). Not surprised to learn that passionate gardeners Don and Terry have no plans to plant any lettuce in their veggie plot right now! --------------BOBBY BEATS IT - In closing, I’m sorry to report that Hudson’s last British ‘Bobby’ on the beat has finally decided to call it a day and is hanging up his helmet - complete with its little flashing red light on top - to pass it on to a younger man. To follow in his footsteps directing traffic at the corner of Main and Blenkinship. If only once every two years when, as recently, the British Invasion rolls into town for the bi-annual car show organized and hosted by the Hudson Antique Car Klub (as in Hack, short for a London taxi) running since the year 2000. I’m speaking, of course, about the indefatigable and irrepressible Roy Elliott who, at the age of 88, tells me that while he is quite happy to pass on that helmet, he will miss “standing in the hot sun for six hours slowly melting” until he can shut off his famous Belisha Beacon and head home. Ah Roy, what can I possibly say? You’re just the ticket to cheer us all up. And, to the best of my knowledge, you never gave anyone a ticket throughout your illustrious career at the corner! Cheers! And that’s a wrap! E-mail: creation@videotron.ca

Vaudreuil-Soulanges residents invited to Liberal budget discussion The Liberal Government’s 2016 Budget invests in families and in growing and strengthening our economy by investing in the middle-class and those working hard to join it. With the new Canada Child Benefit, nine out of ten families will receive more money starting July, 2016, and 9 million middleclass Canadian workers will see more money in their pockets through a new middle class tax cut. To discuss and share these and other details about the budget and what it means for families in the Federal Riding of VaudreuilSoulanges, Member of Parliament and Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister for Youth, Peter Schiefke, will

host a town hall meeting Friday, June 17, from 5 to 6 p.m. at the Château Vaudreuil in Vaudreuil-Dorion. The evening will feature presentations by Peter Schiefke and fellow House colleague and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance, FrançoisPhillipe Champagne. All residents of the Vaudreuil-Soulanges riding are invited to attend this free town hall, the sixth in the series, and to take part in this informative and engaging discussion. Parents are encouraged to bring their children as activities will be on hand and food will be served. “I’m looking forward to our sixth

town hall, where I’ll have a chance to share important information on aspects of the budget that will have a positive impact for families in our community. When middle-class families have more money in their pockets to save, invest, and grow the economy, we all benefit.” said Schiefke. “I’m also looking forward to sharing

The English Gardener

Said Lindsay, “Imagine you are looking for a new home, Wouldn’t it be great to be able to fly from one property to another, have a quick look around at the layout, décor and local amenities, and then have the owner beg you to move into the one you like best? Well, that’s what it’s like being a bird.” Added Lindsay, “We would all love to attract our feathered friends into our gardens, but they can be quite picky about what they expect from their surroundings. And now that we are really into the gardening season and you are perhaps thinking about your garden’s design, you might want to keep in mind the needs and desires of the birds and avian visitors throughout the year.” What are they? In essence, food, water, and places to hide and nest. Achievable by developing a diverse array of vegetation by planting not just flowers, but also a range of different trees and bushes that will provide constant food sources and habitat whenever they are around. Early blooming plants, for example, will help migrating birds keep up their energy reserves as they move through your area. And trees that keep fruiting through winter will provide an important food source. In this regard, you may want to consider plants such as Common Hackberry, Viburnum, and Virginia Creeper, whose fruits will keep birds such as Cedar Waxwings well-fed until summer.

The sound of music James Parry

birds are hovering around the Geraniums, Lilac and Hesperus. And a couple of little cream-chested beauties, that I still have not identified, are diligently tending their nest - made mainly of moss - in the garage-cum-potting shed. All of which shouldn’t come as a surprise, I guess. As Hudson is a designated bird sanctuary town and home to Le Nichoir Wild Bird Conservation Centre, Canada’s largest songbird rehabilitation facility and a licensed wildlife observation centre. Had a delightful chat with its president, Lindsay D’Aoust, at the close of Hudson’s Rites of Spring Festival this past Saturday, June 4, on the grounds of Wyman Memorial United Church. (See story on page 16). And we talked about designing a bird-friendly garden.

Your Local Journal

To parryphrase Julie Andrews warbling ‘the hills are alive with the sound of music’ in the classic 1967 PHOTO BY GREG JONES film, The Sound of Music, our garden is currently alive with the sounds of birds. From first light to late evening. And what a wonderful chorus it is. Rufus, our Red Cardinal, is back of course. Belligerent blue jays squawk every once in a while. Crows are cawing. A newly-arrived wren we have dubbed Pavarotti is trilling his little lungs out non-stop all day. Humming-

It’s also a good idea to select plants of different heights so that different bird species can enjoy foraging for food on the ground or picking fruits and seeds from higher spots. Moreover, planting a variety of vegetation such as shrubs, trees, ground cover, and grasses will give them more options. Not only for feeding but also for shelter. Lindsay also recommends that one uses native species, as our birds will recognize and enjoy these familiar food sources. Native trees such as Eastern White Cedar and Eastern Hemlock provide many hiding places and nesting sites, while Dogwood and Blackberry provide an abundance of food. Another tip. Keep older trees whenever possible, as they are a good resource for insectivorous birds. Dead trees can also be trimmed and incorporated as a feature in your garden to attract woodpeckers, such as the Downy, Pileated, and Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers who will appreciate your thoughtfulness. An added bonus - their excavations will even provide nesting space for smaller birds like Chickadees and Swallows. To learn more about how to build, or enhance, your bird-friendly garden, give Le Nichoir a buzz at (450) 458-2809 or check out their web site at lenichoir. org. Our feathered friends will love it! Until next time, have fun in your garden. And watch out for those skeeters! E-mail: creation@videotron.ca.

Time for tee Golﬁng for beginners Stephanie O’Hanley Special Contributor

If you’re new to golf you might think the first thing to do before heading to a course would be to go shopping for clothing and gear. But Lorne MacDonald, a CPGA golf professional with Falcon Golf, a public golf course in Hudson, says that’s a mistake. “Basically, no,” MacDonald said. “You do it in reverse. It’s like buying a fifth wheel on a truck. You buy the fifth wheel and then you buy the truck. Most people buy the truck and then they can’t get the fifth wheel in.” Instead, MacDonald advises contacting a CPGA golf professional to set up a series of four one-hour lessons, where equipment is provided. “That will take in your basics to start you off on a good golf swing.” MacDonald, who’s taught golf for 50 years, said, “I’m very interested in helping people.” This includes advice on choosing the right equipment. “We help them out because if you don’t have the right equipment, then you’re not going to be able to play the game anyways. A lot of people they go and buy off the rack and they wonder why they can’t hit the

golf ball.” Understanding the sport or what a golf course is, comes later, MacDonald said. “That’s down the line. You’re talking about a beginner. They’ve got to come out and learn how to swing... because without that there’s nothing there for them. They go out on the golf course and they’ve got no clue.” Learning the basics from a CPGA pro instead of your friends is key to getting golf ready, MacDonald said. “We work on basically the fundamentals to get you going until you start off with the proper golf swing instead of out there trying to learn from your friends and learning their bad habits. “The things I like to work on with beginners is setting up the proper grip or you won’t be able to swing the golf club,” MacDonald said. “You want to start with the proper stance and posture and then we work on the backswing and then on the downswing.” MacDonald helps beginners learn golf course rules, bylaws, and etiquette. “There’s a lot of etiquette when you play golf... I touch on the rules that make it easier for them to play the game.” For instance, “If you’re having a struggle out there you just step aside and wave the people through,” he said.

“You don’t want to hold the golf course up by any means.” Lessons help beginners appreciate golf, MacDonald said. “What happens with a lot of beginners today, they’ll go out to a driving range and whip the ball about 20 times and say ‘this is not for

me’ and they go home. That’s because they didn’t take any lessons...They didn’t give the sport a chance.” But MacDonald asserts if you took golf lessons and practiced in between, “You’d be very interested in playing the game.”

No one really knows how much a heart can ache until someone they love dearly, God decides to take. A caring heart stopped beating, hard working hands laid to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. Forever in our hearts, sadly missed and always remembered, you loving wife Pat, children Laura (James). Matthew (Andrea), Andrew (Jessica), Erin (Brian) and grandchildren Evan, Justin, Natthan, Myles, William, Olivia, Ashley, Jordan, Kori and Maya.

Anne de Bellevue. HUDSON Throughout the month of June, the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Palliative Care Residence (VSPCR) is participating in the Great Canadian Giving Challenge for a chance to win $10,000. The challenge seeks to encourage people to give to charitable organizations during what is considered a low giving period. The residence has been open for six years and was completely equipped with used furniture donated by generous local citizens, organizations and companies. The residence must now take on several renovation projects to try to prolong the life of its furniture and refresh the

look of some common areas. The goal is to ensure a better environment for everyone, from patients’ comfort to the wellbeing of family members. The residence must, for example, reupholster couches in living rooms, recover chairs in the dining room and re-stain tables in several common areas. Throughout the month of June, each dollar donated to the VSPCR through the CanadaHelps page (www.canadahelps.org/ gcgc/92051) increases the Residence’s chances of winning $10,000 offered by the GIV3 Foundation. Be generous and invite your family and friends to do the same.
