Vaudreuil-Dorion ﬂood waters recede – no change in new city hall location John Jantak Your Local Journal

Vaudreuil-Dorion’s emergency response personnel and the hundreds of volunteers who pitched in to help during the city’s ood crisis that peaked in intensity almost two weeks ago were thanked for their eīorts by Mayor Guy Pilon at the Monday evening council meeƟng, May 15. During a pre-meeƟng assessment of the city’s response, Treasurer Marco Pilon told the more than 30 residents in the council chamber that the city constantly monitored the developing situaƟon and provided immediate assistance when requested. FiŌy homes had various levels of ooding and 12 residents were evacuated. Volunteers wanted for clean-up With ood waters receding, the city is devoƟng its energy to the big clean-up and geƫng its parks and various outdoor recreaƟonal spots in order for the return of normal acƟviƟes this summer. To help residents aīected by the ood clean up their properƟes and remove sandbags, the city is asking for volunteers to lend a hand this Saturday at City Hall on 2555 Dutrisac at 9 a.m. Residents who were forced out of their homes are also required to contact the city rst so that a structural engineer can visit the property with the occupants to determine its structural integrity. Bilingual informaƟon regarding post- ood protocol and volunteering is available on the city’s website at www. ville.vaudreuil-dorion.qc.ca/fr/la-ville/ informaƟon/actualites Amazing volunteer support When asked by a resident how the city managed to respond so quickly to the developing crisis, Mayor Pilon credited the ongoing training carried out by its re department, rst responders, public security and other civil defence and municipal personnel, who regularly pracƟce various simulated scenarios to deal with possible emergencies that could develop. Personnel responded to situaƟons as

Flood waters from Vaudreuil Bay surround the structure at 405 Avenue St. Charles the site of the new proposed Vaudreuil-Dorion city hall on May 8. Mayor Guy Pilon said even though water encroached inland, the current structure and adjacent seniors’ residence were never ooded.

they were reported to assess basement ooding, divert traĸc from ooded roads and ensure other ooded streets were kept passable by spreading a temporary top layer of crushed stone. The “amazing and tremendous” outpouring of community spirit that saw at least 1,150 volunteers oīer their help and support to those in need throughout the weeklong ordeal also made a big diīerence in helping minimize ood damage, said Pilon. Record ood At its height, the water level in Vaudreuil Bay crested to a record height of 24.66 metres, the same level that was reached across the bay along the northwest shore of Terrasse-Vaudreuil on Île Perrot on May 7. It was the highest level ever measured since record keeping began in the 1920s and forced the closure of the Galipeault Bridge for two days. While most of the ooding was con ned along the shore of Vaudreuil Bay, ooding also unexpectedly occurred a bit further inland where pools of water accumulated along several roadways and around a few homes because of oversaturated ground water levels. No change in city hall plans Despite the ood, Mayor Pilon said there has been no change in venue for the new city hall proposed for 405 Avenue St. Charles. “It’s sƟll the number one

locaƟon,” Pilon told Your Local Journal. While there was substanƟal ooding inland from Vaudreuil Bay that inundated a large stretch of Avenue St. Charles adjacent to Parc de la Paix, Pilon said that neither the building that currently sits on site or the two-storey seniors’ residence next to it were ooded. “The rest of the land was unaīected, just like we said which is why we chose this locaƟon. It was never under water. Right now the city hall is not the main issue. All our eīorts are focused on helping people who have been aīected by

the ood. They want to go back to their regular life and we will conƟnue to work on this for the next two-to-three weeks,” said Pilon. Mayoral candidate Pierre Séguin and leader of the opposiƟon municipal poliƟcal party Team we are has already cited the possibility of ooding numerous Ɵmes as one of several reasons why Pilon and council should reconsider their decision to build on the current site, which was announced less than one week before the record ood occurred.

Ripple effect As the ood waters slowly recede from the shores of our region, we’re leŌ to deal with a wake of soggy detritus in the form of sandbags, so hasƟly assembled in an eīort to protect the single largest investment most of us will ever make. And if there’s any good that’s come out of what was believed to be a oncein-a-lifeƟme cataclysm, it’s that we’ve seen just how much can get accomplished with a set of hands and a heart. The party, however, isn’t over, and we now have to deal with a collecƟve hangover not only of sandbags but saturated drywall, dead carpeƟng, and waterlogged furniture and appliances need to be removed and properly disposed of. A number of communiƟes hit by the unprecedented inundaƟon are appealing to their neighbours – and neighbouring communiƟes – to once again build a human chain to help bring a degree of normality back to their everyday lives by removing the protecƟve barriers. If you can help, please check your respecƟve town’s website or Facebook page, wear a good pair of shoes, and bring along some protecƟve gloves. Thanks to the eīorts of so many who gave up their Ɵme to help their neighbours – whether through heŌing sandbags or making sandwiches, foundaƟons were both protected and created.

Vaudreuil-Dorion resident Diane Rose rescued these two baby rabbits who were hiding in a small bush against a house wall that was surrounded by water at a property on Main Road near the Hudson/Oka ferry that volunteers were franƟcally puƫng sand bags around. As they picked up the pair, they noƟced two other baby rabbits had already drowned. The baby bunnies were taken to a local veterinarian.

Dear Editor: editor@yourlocaljournal.ca Saint-Lazare nances show lack of transparency Dear Editor, With the recent decision by the Saint-Lazare town council to use $2,080,000 of accumulated surplus to cover the town’s porƟon of the esƟmated $8 million cost to nally stabilize the Chaline Valley Landslide zone, two issues have come to light. The rst issue was the mayor’s asserƟon in a recent arƟcle in this newspaper that the payment from its accumulated surplus “will not impact taxpayers.” Given that accumulated surplus in general results from the excess of taxes paid by the town’s taxpayers over operaƟng costs, when I raised the accuracy of that statement at the last town council meeƟng, the mayor had no choice but to agree that indeed the impact of using accumulated surplus was that taxpayers would not have to write a cheque for addiƟonal taxes as the town would use the excess tax that it had already collected. This is hardly a case of ‘no impact on taxpayers’! The second and perhaps more worrisome issue came to light when I led a request, under the access to informaƟon law, for addiƟonal informaƟon regarding our accumulated surplus. Again as previously reported in this newspaper, the mayor when quesƟoned about whether the town might use its accumulated surplus to pay for the proposed roundabout project (a project widely criƟcized by many of the town’s ciƟzens) replied, “The likelihood of that happening is next to none. When it’s not for emergency measures or very serious problems, I don’t think there’s one councillor who would accept using the surplus as a way of payment without consulƟng the populaƟon.

I can’t speak for anybody else at this table but for myself, and unless it deals with public security or if people’s health is in danger, only then would we go to the surplus to take care of it quickly.” Given that reassurance of how the use of our accumulated surplus is restricted, can you imagine my surprise when the data I received from the town’s nance department shows that in the last three and a half years of their mandate, town council has in fact approved use of our accumulated surplus more than ninety (90) Ɵmes for a total in excess of $5.3 million? More than 90 Ɵmes to cover expenses for emergency measures or very serious problems? I think not! The fact of the maƩer is that during my quesƟoning at the last town council meeƟng as to what the esƟmated total cost of the new town hall would be (a topic for another leƩer, another day), it came to light that our accumulated surplus was being used for hundreds of thousands of dollars of expenses relaƟng to the new town hall. Transparency of the use of our nances? I think not! Brian Trainor A Concerned Saint-Lazare Resident Thank you Dear Editor, Nova Hudson would like to thank the many supporters in the community who aƩended the Gala Saturday, May 6, and also the numerous donaƟons from those that were not able to make it. We are very fortunate to say it was a resounding success. ConƟnued on page 6

Hudson mayoralty candidate Bill Nash is ready to deal with hot button issues James Armstrong Your Local Journal

Hudson resident Bill Nash has a vision for his hometown and believes he can make it happen in what will be his rst plunge into the poliƟcal pond. Nash and his wife Chantal Perreault moved to Hudson four years ago and Nash says that has given him Ɵme to observe what is happening in the town. “I see a beauƟful place to live that is dysfuncƟonal,” he said during an interview Tuesday, May 2. “We moved here just aŌer the last (municipal) elecƟon, so we didn’t see what it was like before but we have heard about it,” he added noƟng Mayor Ed Prévost and his administraƟon have had a lot of cleaning up to do. Quali caƟons and background With an extensive background in senior management and administraƟon in the public and private sectors, Nash describes himself as well quali ed to take on the responsibiliƟes that pertain to being the Mayor of Hudson. He served as a member of the administraƟve council for the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ). He was also a board member and president of the CorporaƟon Félix Hubert d’Hérelle an organizaƟon that provides care for people living with HIV/AIDS who are no longer able to look aŌer themselves. Recently reƟred, Nash says he has the Ɵme to take on the task of being mayor. Pine Lake “Pine Lake is coming back, and it’s not going to cost three-quarters of a million dollars,” Nash said, noƟng the lake is iconic, will provide a good impression on the way into the centre of Hudson, and is important to landowners around the lake. Although he was unwilling to divulge speci cs, Nash said he has some innovaƟve ideas for the project. “There are other ways to do this and we have to nd them,” he said. Sandy Beach “It breaks my heart to see it go, but that die was cast years ago and the owner is quite adamant about developing,”

said Nash. He and Hudson arƟst and resident Daniel GauƟer had met with Hans Muehlegg, the owner of Nicanco Holdings, in December 2016 to explore the possibility of purchasing the beach and part of the adjacent land. “That didn’t work out… the price he wants to sell at doesn’t make sense.” Strategic Plan “There is no quesƟon that the town needs development. It’s been stagnating for a long Ɵme,” Nash said, adding the strategic plan should be revisited every two years for a reality check. He described recently driving through the business centre of town and counƟng the ‘For Rent’ signs. “It’s rapidly becoming a ghost town.” Nash emphasized the importance arts and culture and the need for innovaƟon in his vision of the future for the town. Arts and Culture “We have very few outlets for the many arƟsts we have in town. What is revealing is that when the Studio Tour happens, we see all the great work artists are creaƟng and there are no outlets,” said Nash. Culturally, he would like to see the former re hall become an arƟsƟc centre for the town. “It’s a prime locaƟon on Main Road being used as a garage,” he said. For Nash, the abundance of cultural creaƟvity in Hudson is a magnet that will bring people into the town. Community organizaƟons and innovaƟon Nash supports the Hudson Heartbeet Community Farm project and sees it as an example of a community project that has the strong possibility of being successful, durable, and eĸcient. For Nash, exisƟng community organizaƟons are an important factor in the town’s development. “They are what give Hudson a sense of community and someƟmes they need a liƩle nudge as well as our support,” he said. He emphasized the need to pool all the creaƟve resources of the town to develop innovaƟve soluƟons. In the same vein, he said that he looks forward to working with his opponent, Jamie Nich-

olls, regardless of the outcome of the elecƟon. Transparency and trust The most important and conƟnuing challenge for Nash is the lack of trust and the issue of transparency. “You can’t legislate transparency. It’s a culture and aƫtude change. It has to be insƟlled,” he said. “We have to behave in a way that ciƟzens are able to trust their coun-

cil and municipal organizaƟon.” He noted, however, transparency costs money. “We desperately need someone who is skilled and knowledgeable to be in charge of communicaƟons.” He emphasized providing ciƟzens with dependable informaƟon in a Ɵmely manner will help build trust. ConƟnued on page 22

THE SOAPBOX CARMEN MARIE FABIO

Dust and dirt Arriving early to pick up my son last weekend, I sent him a text saying I would be in the local charity shop to peruse the ever-changing stock of stuī other people don’t want. He arrived just in Ɵme to try and talk me out of the item I was about to purchase – an almost 2-foot tall steel crate thing lled with vaguely animal-patterned Styrofoam balls. “It’s ugly,” he said. “It has potenƟal,” I countered. “It’s ugly,” he repeated. Undaunted, I handed over the $15 to the cashier, who said if I didn’t take the Styrofoam balls the price would be $20, and then had the pleasure of observing my boy’s facial expression as he carried it to the car for me. This latest addiƟon is one in a litany of oddiƟes I’ve found in junk shops, things so quirky (not ugly) that I knew I could give them a good home. The crate comes on the heels of the black metal table lamp featuring a raven on a branch. In one claw, he’s holding a small lantern that contains a Ɵny nightlight operated by a three-way switch. The whole thing is adorned with a tall red and gold shade. I was congratulated on my purchase by a woman who followed me out of the store, telling me it was something that belonged in a millionaire’s home. “Why didn’t she buy it then?” asked the same son. I sƟll have the ridiculously ornate Turkish birdcage that could never reasonably be expected to hold an actual bird. “I bought something today,” I told my husband. “Yup,” he agreed when he saw it. “That’s something.” It sits in the dusty front porch awaiƟng a useful purpose. With the glut of dollar store cochonnerie that imbues our lives, the unconvenƟonal nds that have character, a past, and invariably a story, are in nitely more interesƟng than the brandspanking-new secƟons of our vinyl-scented shopping malls. But I must confess that I outdid myself recently by buying something that my nephew placed on Facebook as a lark, not thinking he’d get any serious takers – but rst, some background. GeneƟcs are not easily overruled and though my kids don’t always agree with my taste, they too enjoy poking through the hidden corners of the second-hand shops. When one son, then aged around 10, found a set of some sort of goat’s horns mounted on a plaque and selling for the princely sum of $4, asked for it, I couldn’t say no. And it somehow triggered a series of events that has led to a proliferaƟon of bones of sorts on my front porch. Right next to the bird cage. The goat horns were soon joined by a set of cow jaw bones found in a eld in the Eastern Townships, bleached by the sun. They were joined by a set of deer antlers I found unceremoniously dumped in the garbage. I felt the animal deserved a more digni ed send-oī so his (or her) horns were united with the cow. Following the addiƟon of a single caribou antler purchased from Hudson’s now-gone, but not forgoƩen, Ye Auld Curiosité BouƟque, I foolishly responded to the Facebook post that said, “Who’ll give me $100 for this beauty?” That’s how the roughly 5-foot wide by 4-foot tall stuīed and mounted elk head came to rest on my kitchen table as I try and nd somewhere to put it. I’m told it’s about 50 years old and the same gun that took the beast down was later used in a murder with the triggerman geƫng a 30-year sentence. Is it true? I don’t know but you won’t get the same story from any purchase at a shiny-new retail big-box outlet.

Problem solving Dear Editor, As a former math teacher, I understand that before you can solve a problem, you must understand the facts clearly! I would like the Hudson Town Council to hold its next meeƟng on the shore of Pine Lake or in the valley of the Vivery ‘creek’. Only that way will they experience the environmental disaster being carried out by the lack of acƟon on replacing ‘THE DAM’! Decisions made around a cozy indoor environment of a board room are useless unless you have been to the source of the problem, gained the facts rsthand, and can make decisions based on a complete understanding of the problem. The Pine Lake le has moved like molasses while the problem conƟnues to grow at warp speed! We need ACTION, not talk, talk, talk for three more years! Yours truly, Al Jared Hudson

Tentative reassurance in local public transport management change Carmen Marie Fabio editor@yourlocaljournal.ca

The Conseil intermunicipale du transport (CIT) La Presqu’Île made the oĸcial announcement it will hand operaƟonal reins over to l’Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain (ARTM) and the Réseau de transport métropolitain (RTM) June 1 in accordance with Bill 76 that was adopted by the Quebec NaƟonal Assembly in May, 2016. The bill merged public transport services of a number of oī island municipaliƟes into the two organizaƟons – one for exisƟng train and bus services and the other to plan routes. As reported in the April 13 Your Local Journal, the Town of Pincourt adopted a resoluƟon at that month’s council meeting requesƟng the provincial government reconsider the changes saying it could adversely aīect the quality of the transport service and increase exisƟng costs. But a miƟgaƟng factor in ensuring a smooth transfer of operaƟons exists in the form of the interim retenƟon of the current CIT La Presqu’Île staī members who understand the transport needs of the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region. “Our iniƟal concern was that the staī would be picked from the various organizaƟons and we would have no local representaƟon,” said Hudson District 6 Town Councillor Natalie Best who is on the CIT La Presqu’Île Board of Directors. “It’s not only for public transit, but also

for adapted transport with Transport Soleil.” With CIT La Presqu’Île Director General Manon Charest staying on for the changeover period, Best said the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region maintains a voice for its public transport needs. “With the passing of June 1 and falling into the new structure, we’re not losing (representaƟon) in our region,” said Best. Under the new organizaƟonal umbrella, the changeover should be transparent to the users. “A recent development is Transport Soleil, being a non-pro t, is not integrated into the RTM for now,” said Pincourt District 5 Councillor and CIT La Presqu’Île Board of Directors member Jim Miron. ExisƟng bus fares should remain unchanged for the Ɵme being. “What they’re going to do is review the fare structure by 2019,” said Miron. “We’re being promised that the porƟon of the operaƟng costs that go to the municipaliƟes will be stabilized unƟl 2020.” “We’ll see what our new reality will be when they begin sharing expenses over the whole territory,” said Best. The North and South Shore municipaliƟes oī the Island of Montreal have been told their costs will never be more than 30 per cent of the total operaƟng budget. According to a press release from the CIT La Presqu’Île, since its incepƟon in 2005, routes have expanded from three to 26 and the number of trips has grown from 26,600 to almost 800,000 in 2016.

As the OƩawa River slowly subsides to its usual course, the Town of Rigaud published an extensive list of addresses on Monday, May 15, permiƫng previously evacuated residents to return to their homes. There are certain condiƟons for several sectors aīected by ooding. The town strongly recommends residents of Pointe-Séguin and Pointe-à-la-RacqueƩe not to stay at home overnight for the next few days as water levels remain high and the situaƟon may change rapidly. Some residents with homes directly on the riverbank conƟnue to be aīected

by high water levels and will have to wait unƟl the river recedes further. Some homes compromised “Every day is diīerent,” said Mayor Hans Gruenwald Jr. in an interview on Wednesday, May 17. “We are conƟnuously assessing the needs of several diīerent sectors,” he added noƟng that some areas sƟll have two feet of water in the street. According to the mayor, in some cases, homeowners are allowed to return to assess the damage but will have to wait for a complete inspecƟon before taking up permanent residence again.

Ten year-old Hudson soccer star captains Canadian team in Paris, France Alexander Aguirre-Freudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to become a professional player one day James Parry Your Local Journal

He is just 10 years old, aĆŠends Mount Pleasant Elementary School in Hudson, has been playing soccer for literally half his life and, just two weeks ago, he captained a Canadian team in France compeĆ&#x;ng against seven other countries in a presĆ&#x;gious tournament - the PSG Cup 2017 - staged near Paris at a centre that specializes in training professional French football players.

His name? Alexander Aguirre-Freud. He plays intercity for the St. Lazare-Hudson Hawks as a leĹ&#x152; mid- elder. His role model is Messi who plays for FC Barcelona and the ArgenĆ&#x;na naĆ&#x;onal team. And his dream is to one day become a professional soccer player. Judging by his recent accomplishments, it would appear to be a dream he takes very seriously. He was selected to join the Centre de dĂŠveloppement rĂŠgional (CDR) in the AssociaĆ&#x;on RĂŠgionale de Soccer Sud-Ouest (ARSSO) and

dian U11 team did not make it to the nals, they placed second overall in goals scored. But for his parents, Alain and Leila Freud, Alexander and everyone on his team was a de nite winner. Said Alain, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were both very pleased and excited that he had the chance to represent Canada, and we are extremely proud of him and how humble he was even when he was chosen as team captain for the U11 Canadian Team with some 44,000 fans watching at just one match alone.â&#x20AC;?

he played all posiĆ&#x;ons. He was also selected to play for the elite team of Paris Saint Germain Academy (PSG), as defense leĹ&#x152;. Said the young soccer star in an interview with Your Local Journal this week, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt very honoured to represent Canada because it is my country and my home. And I ful lled part of my dream when I found out that being part of PSG could send me to France to play against other countries from all over the world.â&#x20AC;?

PARRYWINKLE JAMES PARRY Well, the freakin’ oodwaters may be slowly retreaƟng. But there’s certainly no leƫng up in the groundswell of praise for the many hundreds of volunteers - not only from Hudson but from far and wide - who stepped up to the plate to help local residents through their nightmarish baƩle of the past couple of weeks. And rightly so during what has been dubbed the Flood of the Century. PHOTO BY Indeed, days before soldiers moved in and to parMAURICE JEFFERIES ryphrase the Ɵtle of a certain 2015 TV blockbuster smash hit, they were a true Band of Brothers and Sisters who will be long remembered and saluted. That being said, we should perhaps remember that it is not only in Ɵmes of crises that volunteerism comes to the fore in our fair burg where it is a way of life, 12 months a year. Year in and year out. --------------PRAISING PETER - Take a recent Saturday evening at Wyman United Memorial Church, for example, that my beauƟful Sunshine and I were honoured to aƩend. When for no other reason than to say a big thanks to one such volunteer, there was a surprise party for Hudsonite, Peter Mundie, whose year-round volunteerism for decades is the stuī of legend. With family visiƟng from OƩawa, Peter thought he was heading out in the car for a quiet dinner at a local restaurant. It was only at the very last minute that his beloved wife, Anne, told him that they would be popping by the church - which has been such an integral part of his life and faith since 1974 - to check on something that had unexpectedly cropped up. Crikey, was he in for literally the shock of his life! And in a most posiƟve way as over 75 well-wishers were there waiƟng in silence and the dark in the basement for his arrival. And what a fun yet most emoƟonal evening ensued. --------------THE GUY TO GO FOR - The Wyman Choir - of which, and I have this on an impeachable authority, he is the best male singer - was there to pay hommage with a 27-verse song of praise brilliantly researched and most humourously penned by Bill Young, encapsulaƟng his life from A to Z. Well, kind of! Also at the podium, the Rev. Kent Chown, as well as Clint Ward and Inga Lawson of the Hudson Film Society for which Peter volunteers his Ɵme in the projecƟon booth for every screening. Said Clint to spontaneous applause, “Peter is a good example of the saying that the brightest stars are those who shine for the bene t of others. Even though on every occasion we shout at each other from stage to booth!” Echoing that senƟment were Audrey Wall and Terry O’Shaughnessy of the Greenwood Centre for Living History for which he also volunteers. And then on behalf of all congregants, John Lawson confessed at the podium that he wasn’t sure if the evening was meant to be a roast in the old Dean MarƟn style or a serious homage to the man known as the “guy to go for when you have a problem. Whatever the problem.” Said John, “Regardless, this room is full of love for you, because you have given so much to the church and the community at large.” --------------CAMERALESS FOR ONCE - And as proof posiƟve of the fact that Peter didn’t have a clue as to what was his real desƟnaƟon that night, he arrived without his ever-present camera. Through which over the years he has captured literally thousands of images of Hudson and Hudsonites for posterity. Images that, hopefully, will one day serve as an inspiraƟon for our next generaƟon of volunteers in our very special liƩle hamlet with a populaƟon of just over 5,000. And not only special I hasten to add but, in my mind at least, truly unique! Oh, by the way Peter, I seem to be having a liƩle snafu with my camera. Can you…? Nah, forget it. AŌer all, I bought it from Linda May who took so many pics of your memorable evening and whose eponymous studio is celebraƟng its 55th anniversary this year and I have never ever had a problem with it since! Way to go Peter! And that’s a wrap! PHOTO BY LINDA MAY E-mail: creaƟon@video- AŌer the iniƟal surprise shock of being greeted by so many at Wyman United Memorial Church, tron.ca See more photos on our Peter and his beloved wife, Anne - who was obviously in on the secret - was delighted to cut a Facebook page. very special cake created in his honour.

D-Day Veterans and friends to gather once again on June 6th 73 years later Rod L. Hodgson Special contributor

Tuesday, June 6, 2017, will be the 73rd anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy, France during World War II. Each year since shortly aŌer the war ended in 1945 a small group of D-Day Veterans have gathered on the exact anniversary date to re ect on that momentous day in our history and remember those who did not return as they gave the Supreme Sacri ce. Over 14,000 Canadian soldiers stormed onto Juno Beach that day and over 1,000 were casualƟes of which some 359 were killed. But the Canadians made the best Allied gains that day along their ve mile stretch of open beach in northern France. Of the 5,300 Allied vessels involved that day only 109 were Canadian but there were 10,000 members of the R.C.N. and R.C.N.V.R. on those ships. Once again this year local veterans will meet for cocktails and a luncheon. For 2017 the luncheon will be held at the Hudson Branch #115 of the Royal Canadian Legion at 56 Beach Road. Even though the original organizaƟon that was known as the ‘D-Day (Normandy) Society’ no longer exists, the Ɵtle is sƟll used in conjuncƟon with the more mod-

ern term, ‘Friends who Remember.’ Just two regular aƩendees actually landed on D-Day, Harry Trenholme and Ian Walker. Peter Hughes made it in the next day, June 7, 1944. If you are interested in aƩending this very special luncheon please contact Rod Hodgson at (450) 458-6603 (rhodgson@videotron.ca) or Patrick Daunais at (514) 234-4323 (patrick148@ca.inter. net before June 1. ReservaƟons are a must and our limit this year is only 90. Cocktails at 11:30 a.m. and a full roast beef dinner will be served at 12:30 p.m. in the Legion hall.

Errata In the May 4 story on page 9 Ɵtled, “SchieŅe talks budget, asylum seekers, and legal weed at town hall meeting,” it was reported $6 million in the Canada Child Bene t is being invested in our region every year. It is, in fact, being invested every month. Last week’s Hudson Homes Tour arƟcle was improperly credited to Elizabeth Kennell. The actual author was, in fact, Pamela Richardson.

Hudsonite honoured for helping low income earners complete tax returns Martin Hofton accepts medal on behalf of all fellow volunteers in Vaudreuil-Dorion and Dorval James Parry Your Local Journal

In a recent ceremony, The Sovereignâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Medal for Volunteers was presented to long-Ć&#x;me Hudsonite, MarĆ&#x;n HoĹ&#x152;on, in recogniĆ&#x;on of his, â&#x20AC;&#x153;signi cant, sustained, and unpaidâ&#x20AC;? contribuĆ&#x;on to his community. A contribuĆ&#x;on that he has been making with the Canadian Volunteer Income Tax Programme (CVITP) that helps people on low income with simple tax situaĆ&#x;ons complete their tax returns for over 15 years. Said HoĹ&#x152;on, who works through both The Community Aid Service in Dorval and Le Centre dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;acĆ&#x;on bĂŠnĂŠvole lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Actuel in Vaudreuil-Dorion, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It came as a complete surprise when I got a leĆŠer from

Rideau Hall informing me that I had been awarded this medal and I accept it on behalf of our great team of bilingual volunteers who, every year, complete over 650 tax returns for people from all over the region.â&#x20AC;? Remembers HoĹ&#x152;on, an avid golfer and a member of Whitlock Golf & Country Club, formerly on the board of the Hudson Historical Society, and co-founder with Terry BrowiĆŠ of the Hudson Ramblers AssociaĆ&#x;on, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the early days it was more diÄ¸cult. We had to complete the two tax returns in an hour on paper forms and in the presence of the client, who would oĹ&#x152;en want to carry on a conversaĆ&#x;on the whole while. Now it is much more structured.â&#x20AC;?

Added HoĹ&#x152;on, â&#x20AC;&#x153;At lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Actuel, the clients are interviewed to get all their personal informaĆ&#x;on and to check that they have all their slips, and these are then put in an envelope and taken home by the volunteers who prepare the declaraĆ&#x;ons on a special version of U-File provided by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Each return is then double checked by another volunteer and transmiĆŠed electronically in the presence of the client.â&#x20AC;? As to how long HoĹ&#x152;on, who emi-

grated from England in 1967, intends to conĆ&#x;nue helping others with their tax returns? â&#x20AC;&#x153;For as long as I can,â&#x20AC;? he told Your Local Journal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have had a good life with my wife, Denise, and our children and grandchildren here in Canada and parĆ&#x;cularly Hudson, and this is my way of thanking people for their kindness and helping others in our community with what can be complicated and confusing for many.â&#x20AC;?

MOVIE REVIEW JULES-PIERRE MALARTRE

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Superhero faƟgue — the expression does not refer to what a superhero feels at the end of a long day spent ghƟng supervillains. It’s a relaƟvely new expression, coined in the wake of the massive overdose of superhero movies that have graced our screens ever since the rebirth of the genre with the release of the massively popular Batman reboot and the slew of Marvel Superhero movies starƟng with the rst Iron Man. Superhero movies have been around for a long Ɵme. We’d get one every few years, but for the past few years, superhero blockbusters have dominated the box oĸce every summer. Although the superhero movie formula is starƟng to show signs of wear, recent entries were bold enough to breathe new life into the genre. The rst Guardians of the Galaxy, released in 2014 in the wake of the success of The Avengers, Thor, and Iron Man movies, is such a lm. The movie was a breath of fresh air. Its unique brand of irreverent language, mix of dark and light humour, and marriage of acƟon and comedy helped rede ne the superhero genre. Other superhero icks followed suite: Deadpool, the rst R-rated superhero movie, was a blockbuster smash, proving that foul language and extreme graphic violence were box-oĸce gold. This year’s Logan, the latest oīering in the now venerable X-Men movie franchise, is without a doubt the best of the series, and possibly the best superhero movie in years. The script, themes and performances move this X-Men movie from the ranks of mere superhero acƟon icks into the realm of serious drama, possibly worthy of an Oscar nod for best direcƟon, script or performance by a lead actor (Jackman or Stewart). But where does that leave Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2? The movie does not innovate. It sits comfortably in the formula it created for itself in its rst installment. It oīers nothing new, but it sƟll works. The performances of the actors are to thank for that. The usual “kill the villain and save the galaxy” storyline is beyond old, but it’s a mere backdrop to the real plot of the movie: the further interacƟons between the Guardians. As such, Guardians is not really a plot-driven acƟon movie, it’s a character-driven movie. The work of the ensemble cast is the reason why the movie works. The Guardians are like a very dysfuncƟonal family, and as strange as they are, they are all remarkably human, and viewers will nd something to relate to in their anƟcs. The surprise performance of the lm comes from Michael Rooker. His character, Yondu, graduates from a secondary character to a main cast member here, and his performance and story arc show the most depth and development. It was interesƟng to see Kurt Russell back in a sci- role, even if it was in a one-dimensional supervillain capacity. Another member of Hollywood royalty, Sylvester Stallone, also made an appearance, way more saƟsfying than Russel’s. It would have been nice to see the two in a scene together. It would have been the closest thing to a Tango & Cash reboot we’ll probably ever see, and the chemistry between the two would have probably helped salvage Russel’s performance. All in all, Guardians 2 is sƟll very enjoyable, for both superhero fans and regular moviegoers. Remember to sƟck around unƟl the very end of the credits... as is customary for Marvel Superhero movies, the lmmakers loaded the credits with addiƟonal scenes PHOTO COURTESY MARVEL STUDIOS — ve in all in this case.

(Centre): Claude Brunet, Vice-President, Dealer OperaƟons, supported by Mélanie Pilon, Controller, presenƟng the trophy to MarƟn BouƟn, Director of Fixed OperaƟons. Surrounded by the Albi Nissan

Special thanks to our Technicians: Eric Lesveque, Marc Parent, Yvon Carrière, Nicolas Daoust, Mark Lumanglas, Dominic Langlois, Jean Bohemier, FélixAntoine Clément, Alex Clermont, Carl Lavigne, and Claude BeaudeƩe.

Good governance and scal responsibility Nash described ciƟzens as the shareholders in the town and the mayor and council as having the responsibility of overseeing a $12 million budget. Nash quesƟons whether or not current scal controls are well designed and followed. In his opinion, all is not well in that regard in the town’s administraƟon. He said that for the 2014 and 2015 audited nancial statements, the auditors refused to express an opinion. “The new council will have to take a hard look at

how money is managed in the town and x it.” Nash was also concerned about the absence of a treasurer for the town. Town council’s decision Tuesday, May 16, to hire an individual who is not a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) raised some ags for Nash. “We have to wait and see how that person performs.” He agreed with council that a professional designaƟon does not necessarily guarantee success in a post. “The treasurer reports to the Director General and the council has an oversight role,” he added. Nash said he does not want to micro-manage the town and emphasized that people need to be able to ful ll their designated role.

Stunning riverfront home Betsy Aird Special Contributor

Located in the western end of Hudson in what was once called Choisy, this must-see residence is oīered for the rst Ɵme on the Hudson Country Homes Tour. The welcoming and well-proporƟoned facade of stone features tradiƟonal architectural details such as arched bay windows and gables complemented by low coniferous planƟngs. The 3,300 square foot home capitalizes on its riverside locaƟon – thankfully high above the rising water levels. The home’s cathedralceilinged vesƟbule, open to the upstairs hall, provides unobstructed sightlines through the living room to a view of the OƩawa River. Clerestory windows bring in addiƟonal light. Cherry wood oors and hand-knoƩed Persian carpets grace many of the main oor rooms. The 15-foot coved living room ceiling accented with wide mouldings and a wall of windows give the room a bright, airy feeling. Built-in display cases feature original watercolours of landscapes, many of them painted in Mexico. Large, comfortable leather seaƟng faces the propane replace. A tall display case behind the chester eld displays the homeowner’s collecƟon of sailing and curling trophies. Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen/ dining room. Custom glass-fronted cabinetry in a warm clay colour is highlighted by porcelain Ɵles on the kitchen island, handmade adobe Ɵles imported from Mexico on the oor, and an intricate coved ceiling. The kitchen island seats four and is lit by brushed nickel pendant lights. The long glass-topped dining table faces Florida-shuƩered windows. Large poƩed plants soŌen the look and pocket doors can be used to separate the rooms. A wooden salmon hand-carved by Steve Richards adds a whimsical touch. A 20-foot Persian runner draws the visitor along the hall past the large oĸce complete

with replace and arched, shuƩered windows and a charming siƫng room in soŌ shades of green with complementary carpet. The main oor master bedroom features mahogany-coloured Durham furniture with aƩracƟve rope mouldings. A 6-foot mirror is casually propped against one wall. Windows on the western wall and a window seat oīer more water views. The large ensuite bath with double sinks and soaker tub under an arched window is enhanced by more handmade Mexican Ɵles in a warm golden colour. ContrasƟng relief Ɵles in a pleasing green colour add a stylisƟc touch. The two upstairs bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms provide private spaces for the homeowners’ children, both accomplished sailors and equestrians. Both rooms have a wall of windows facing the river. The house is just upriver from Graham’s Wharf which was a stopping-oī point for the steamships plying the OƩawa River in the 1800s. Today, a large stone deck overlooks the homeowner’s dock where he keeps his zodiacs always at the ready for a day of shing. Tickets are available at the following outlets: Décors & Tissus Sérénity 67 Cameron Street Hudson (450) 853-0635 Centre Décor Hudson 33 Yacht Club Road Hudson (450) 458-5121 BouƟque Alena Kirby 3200 route Harwood Vaudreuil-Dorion (450) 455-6156 Le Panier 274 Lakeshore Road Pointe Claire (514) 695-7038 For more informaƟon: hudsoncountryhomestour@gmail.com

Lending a hand With almost military precision, small teams of re ghters and volunteers from throughout the community fanned out - many of them in school buses - from Hudson’s Fire StaƟon early the morning of May 17 on their mission to remove some 60,000 sandbags from Hudson homes and gardens hit by the ooding for temporary storage at the town dump on Wharf Road. They were assisted by soldiers from the Toronto Disaster Relief CommiƩee (TDRC), as well as Hudson’s Public Works and Parks and RecreaƟon personnel.

Home and Estate The English Gardener A little birdie told me James Parry Your Local Journal

Now that high oodwaters are, thankfully, gradually receding throughout our region, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becomPHOTO BY GREG JONES ing painfully obvious that gardening - for many homeowners hit by the disastrous deluge - will be low on their list of prioriĆ&#x;es this summer. Actually, was going to say bucket list but I guess itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the Ć&#x;me for punny jokes. SuÄ¸ce to say that for many, home renovaĆ&#x;ons, cleaning up the mess and heartache wrought by the ooding, and seeking compensaĆ&#x;on from the provincial government will take precedence over working in the garden. In some instances, enĆ&#x;re ower beds were clawed away along the shoreline. Wooden decks that were underwater are going to have to be either rebuilt or seriously reinforced. And lawns that were transformed into lakes are going to take some Ć&#x;me to dry out and recover. But as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said before, and will surely say again, we perennial gardeners are a hardy and posiĆ&#x;ve-thinking bunch arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we? I mean, why else would we sow Ć&#x;ny seeds in the hope of growing root veggies to eat when we can buy them in the fall as cheap as chips? Why else would we buy a perennial in a small pot knowing that one day, hopefully, it will spread to become a clump to be subsequently divided perhaps for transplanĆ&#x;ng elsewhere in the garden to become another clump? Why else would we buy individual small Cedars in the convicĆ&#x;on that one day they will grow and merge to form a hedge? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because, while enjoying the present, we are always looking to the future. A senĆ&#x;ment best expressed, I do believe, by the BriĆ&#x;sh-American novelist, Frances Eliza Hodgson (1849-1924), and author of the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, The Secret Garden, who wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you have a garden,

you have a future. And when you have a future, you are alive.â&#x20AC;? I was reminded of this just last week when I discovered a newly-built and perfectly-formed robinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nest on the ground beneath a tall Juniper. For whatever reason, perhaps high winds or heavy rain, it had fallen from the branches above. Obviously not sure if it is the same robin that has built there for the past four or ve years or so, but I did watch it create its nest with materials picked up in my garden including, believe it or not, blue twine that once helped support my tomato plants. Well lo and behold, if I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spot a new nest up in the branches just a few days later. With a robin iĆŤng back and forth puĆŤng what I can only assume are the nishing touches to its new temporary home in which to raise a family in the weeks and months to come despite the capriciousness of Mother Nature. A magical moment in my own garden, dear readers. And perhaps an inspiraĆ&#x;on for us all. UnĆ&#x;l next Ć&#x;me! E-mail: creaĆ&#x;on@videotron.ca

Discover your local businesses! Superior customer service creates loyalty with Plomberie Montpellier-Daoust Jules-Pierre Malartre Special contributor

Finding a plumber that oīers quality service both before and aŌer sale is not always easy. How many of us have used a plumber for a kitchen renovaƟon project and opted to look for another plumber when we decided to update our bathroom later on? Customer loyalty is the best indicaƟon of quality service and that is why homeowners and entrepreneurs have relied on Plomberie Montpellier-Daoust for 40 years. “We’re a family-owned business founded by my father in 1977,” says Karine Montpellier. The small, home garage-based business grew rapidly and Pierre Montpellier’s two sons and son-in-law took over in 1997, carrying on the tradiƟon of unparalleled service that conƟnues to make Plomberie Montpellier-Daoust a most sought-aŌer plumbing service in the enƟre VaudreuilSoulanges area. No plumber understands the need for personalized service more than the expert plumbing staī of Plomberie MontpellierDaoust. Service doesn’t begin and end with the sale, especially in a eld as specialized as plumbing. Customers, whether they are home or business owners wanƟng to redo a bathroom, or a contractor building a new home, need a plumbing service that can be relied upon to provide aŌer-sale, technical, and troubleshooƟng services. Plomberie Montpellier-Daoust’s mission has remained the same for the past 40 years – to oīer the best customer experience possible, both at

the store and on the road. “We put the emphasis on service in general and also on aŌer-sale service. If people have an aŌer-sale problem, they receive the same excellent service they received when they made their original purchase,” Karine says proudly. “We take care of our customers. If a client buys something, and he comes back 10 years later because the handles broke, he won’t have to replace the whole taps. We can sƟll nd replacement parts for him. “That’s why people come back to do business with us.” This aƩenƟon to the customer has become the trademark of the enterprise and customer loyalty is the best proof of Plomberie Montpellier-Daoust’s outstanding service. Your plumbing shopping experience is facilitated by Plomberie MontpellierDaoust’s very complete showroom. It offers a wide range of products in a number of brands that are sure to meet both your needs and your budget. “We showcase products from preƩy much every manufacturer out there,” Karine says.
