With most major infrastructure projects taken care of during his last term, Grimaudo said his council will begin tackling other issues. But before they can do that, the ve new councillors will have to learn about their responsibili es, he added. “All the hard decisions were made over the last four years and now we can look forward to other things. They need to know how the system works. There will be a swearing-in ceremony. A er that, they will meet the directors

and have their rst ‘kick-at-the-can’. We’re going to have our rst working table mee ng next week,� said Grimaudo. “Will there be any major decisions made at the beginning? I don’t know. It depends how quickly they want to get their feet wet. As I’ve always said, it’s council that makes the decisions. My job is to assemble them and make sure they work as a team for the good of the town. I will work with everybody,� Grimaudo added.

Erratum In an ar cle published on page 3 in the November 2 edi on of ! , it was erroneously reported the Town of St. Lazare had a reimbursement program to pay for cost of installing water shut-o valves to some homes on Chemin Ste.

EDITOR’S CORNER

Lest we forget This week marks two dis nct events – democra c elec ons and the memory of those who fought to preserve our privileges, freedoms, and rights and if we acknowledge neither, we’re in danger of losing them both. Complacency is, in itself, a luxury and it’s easy to forget we’re at liberty to express our poli cal opinions and cultural beliefs while many people in the world – in 2017 no less – are not. Unfortunately, this privilege was ignored last weekend by an up to astounding 60 per cent of the popula on in some towns who didn’t bother to turn up to the polling sta ons to cast a vote in the municipal elec ons. Armchair poli cs is surprisingly easy from behind a social media account, especially if the pundits don’t have to deal with actual regula ons, guidelines, budgets, and other messy things like the wants and needs of the majority. What is a li le harder, apparently, is to get out on a Sunday and walk, bike, or drive down to the polling sta on (some candidates o ered li s) and exercise their civic duty. Those who felt none of the candidates were worthy of the posi on may have opted to roll over and go back to sleep. Or watch another cat video. At least those who bothered to destroy their ballot displayed more democra c decency than not caring enough to vote. A majority can be a ained with a single vote, leading to an en rely unprecedented and unpredictable outcome. Just take a look southward.

Dear Editor: editor@yourlocaljournal.ca I would like to thank you for the remarkable democra c par cipa on you all displayed last Sunday. In addi on, I would like to congratulate all the candidates for having conducted a clean and respec ul campaign in a manner consistent with the civility our cons tuents hoped to see from all of us. And nally, I would like to further congratulate Mayor Jamie Nicholls along with his team on having carried the day and wish them good fortune as they embark on the challenging path they have chosen to follow. Respec ully, Bill Nash Hudson I’d like to thank the cons tuents of District 3 who came out to vote and all the candidates and their spouses who brought this poli cal campaign period to life through the streets and homes of Hudson and who in raising the level of compe on raised the quality of par cipa on, of commitment and the magnitude of our reach. In raising the quality of the campaigns, we are able to guarantee the best possible outcome with every successive poli cal term. Most of all, I would like to thank Nicole Durand. Nicole Durand and I spent many hours si ng next to each other in the period leading up to the coun ng of the ballots on Sunday. We spoke of many light and pleasant things and, as the hours passed, we traipsed tenderly into several deeper much less pleasant issues we’d run against in the three years past. The hours became quieter, more re ec ve as the evening closed. We stood solemnly as the ballots were read out loud at our table, we marked down with a ver cal bar each name on our respec ve piece of paper, side by side, shoulder to shoulder. As the count ipped back and forth at our table, as it was recounted a couple of mes, a hand would go out and touch the other’s shoulder in support and in comfort. While wai ng for the other tables and advanced vo ng boxes to be counted, we proposed to work together on projects with shared interest. We had no idea how the other two boxes would work out for either one of us yet we’d already commi ed to working with each other in the weeks and months ahead.

I stand by the commitment I made to Nicole Durand that night where I proposed she and I work on the MADA (MunicipalitÊ Amis des AinÊs) program together as to transi on smoothly from one council to the next, in con nua on of the e orts that were started, of the good rela ons made with the region and local stakeholders, while honouring the value, exper se and commitment of a strong and devoted woman who has served for four years as District 3’s municipal representa ve, and who showed me great warmth, composure and keen a achment to our mutual cause, this town and to the elderly community. With warm gra tude. Chloe Hutchison Hudson I would like to take a moment and thank everyone who came out to vote for me October 29 and November 5. Your support meant a lot to me. Now, a er four years, the town is scally sound, and I wish the new administra on good luck in their endeavors. I look forward to seeing all their great plans realized. As a councillor you are part of a team and I would like to thank Natalie Best, Ron Goldenberg, Barbara Robinson, Deborah Woodhead and of course Ed PrÊvost for making all those many long hours not only produc ve but enjoyable. Nicole Durand Hudson To all elected Hudson candidates, congratula ons on a successful campaign. It was a great pleasure get ng to know all of you and to be with a group of people who all share the goal of improving Hudson and enabling the town to move forward. To all the other candidates who worked hard par cipa ng in this democra c process, I hope you stay on board, as our singular and collec ve voice is cri cal for the success of our now current council. For all those in District 5 who supported me, I will con nue to be ac ve in Hudson and to advocate for the cri cal aspects of my pla orm. You have my sincere gra tude for your support.

make you a winner. You have to go doorto-door, visit community groups and cultural organiza ons and speak to the ci zens. Social media only in uences a small part of the popula on and people hated it. It was a very hard campaign but we’re very happy with the result,� said Pilon. ! " With many important infrastructure projects completed during the last four years including the expansion and refurbishment of its water ltra on and sewage treatment plants, Pilon said the city will focus on other projects. They include the revitaliza on of Harwood Boulevard, a new indoor swimming pool in conjunc on with the Commission Scolaire des Trois-Lacs, and the proposed new city hall.

Ac on Party candidate Guy Pilon was re-elected to his third consecu ve term as Vaudreuil-Dorion mayor on Sunday, November 5. Pilon received 6,411 votes (63.62 per cent) out of 10,297 total ballots cast compared to 3,666 votes (36.38 per cent) for Team We Are party rival Pierre SĂŠguin. There were 220 spoiled ballots and 27,763 people were eligible to vote. All eight Ac on Party council candidates were also elected. The re-elected candidates are François SĂŠguin, CĂŠline Char er, Gabriel Parent, Paul Normand, and Paul Dumolin. The three new councillors are JosĂŠe ClĂŠment, Jasmine Sharma, and Diane Morin. For Pilon, the unanimous win indicates most ci zens are sa s ed with the way the city has progressed under Ac on Party leadership when it was rst launched almost 20 years ago. While Pilon would have liked more voter par cipa on, he said the team will con nue to work for the best interests of all residents. “It’s fantas c,â€? Pilon told Your Local Journal. “The main thing is everyone in our party was elected. It’s a great victory. It’s something I was hoping would

happen. This means the popula on realized they want to con nue with our pla orm. I’m very happy.â€? With four women elected, this is the rst me Vaudreuil-Dorion has equal representa on between men and women on council. Pilon said all candidates were chosen because of their background, experience and pledge to make posi ve contribu ons to the future development of the city. “Our pla orm will go forward in a posi ve way because we have the majority, that’s for sure. There will be nothing nega ve. We’ve heard enough of people saying Vaudreuil-Dorion is not good during the elec on. Nothing was good in our city. That was impossible,â€? said Pilon. “When you’re named as the 15th best town in all of Canada to raise a family and the 14th best place in Quebec for economic vitality, you can’t go doorto-door and say everything in VaudreuilDorion is going wrong,â€? Pilon added. Pilon said he didn’t take anything for granted during his campaign and found Pierre SĂŠguin to be a credible opponent. He said the party’s focus was to meet with people, discuss their concerns and not rely on social media to present their message. “We realized that Facebook doesn’t

LBPSB Chair Suanne Stein Day resigns

A 32-year-old woman from Marseille, France has died following a head-on collision November 4 on Highway 40 eastbound in Vaudreuil-Dorion near Exit 26. SĂťretĂŠ du QuĂŠbec (SQ) spokesperson Sgt. Ingrid Asselin reports the French resident Leila Mahnaoui was travelling alone in the vehicle in the westbound direc on around 9:30 a.m. when her car crossed the grassy median into the eastbound lane colliding with another car. Emergency responders used the ‘Jaws of Life’ to extricate the woman

from her car. She was transported to the Valley eld hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries. Collision inves gators were on the scene un l the road reopened around 1 p.m. Asselin said it’s too soon to say whether speed, alcohol, or distracted driving were factors in the crash. Toxicology reports are pending. The man driving in the other car sustained minor injuries. ' (

Following the announcement made April 27 that she would take an extended leave of absence from her posi on as Chair of the Lester B. Pearson School Board (LBPSB), Suanne Stein Day informed the board’s Council of Commissioners November 6 of her resigna on, e ec ve immediately. “Stein Day has been on a personal leave of absence and informed Council in her le er of resigna on that the circumstances have not changed su ciently enough for her to foresee a return,� read a LBPSB press release issued by Communica ons Coordinator Jim Hendry. Stein Day took leave roughly six months a er the LBPSB found her to be in breach of the board’s own code of ethics on three separate occasions. At the November 28, 2016 LBPSB Council of Commissioners’ monthly meeting in Dorval, Stein Day revealed she was the councillor named in a report made by Ethics Commissioner Vincent Guida. Her breaches stemmed from a le er wri en by a group of board and sta members that cited “not showing respec ul behaviour to colleagues� and “spreading salacious gossip about colleagues involving sex and misappropriated funds.� She denied any wrongdoing, sta ng, “I did not commit any wrongdoing, legally or morally.

Parents, teachers, and governing board members voiced their displeasure at the mee ng with teacher representa ve Heidi Yetman saying the ‘dark cloud’ hanging over the board in light of the breach harmed the teachers’ reputa ons. Many in a endance at the mee ng called for her resigna on. The communiquĂŠ issued by the LBPSB said council will address the replacement of the chair in the next 30 days in line with the Act Respec ng School Elec ons. “The Council of Commissioners will be moving forward quickly to ensure stability within the organiza on,â€? said ac ng Chair Noel Burke.

Winter housing for Rigaud ood victims on mayor’s agenda James Armstrong

As recently re-elected Mayor of Rigaud, Hans Gruenwald Jr. said in a recent interview, “winter is coming and we s ll have people living in hotels.� He was referring to the ongoing problems faced by individuals and families that were forced from their homes by the excep onal ooding in April 2017. Dealing with those problems is high on the mayor’s priority list. # !$ ! ! “We are the government of proximity, so when residents are in trouble they come to the town,� said the mayor. “We are trying to get ahead of that.� He said the Salva on Army will put in place long-term lodging with funding provided by the provincial government with the town ac ng as the coordinator. “In order for the government to take care of that issue on a province-wide scale, they will have to deal with the towns, they need the implica on of the municipali es,� said Gruenwald. “We proposed a mobile home trailer park solu on, but they (the province) don’t want to dance with me that way,� he said, adding

those plans could also be quickly ac vated if required. % & ' ! “What I have done is delay the budget un l the middle of January 2018,� said Gruenwald. “In Rigaud, we have a taxa on system by sector and we need to review whether or not we are going to apply the ood costs by district or to the en re community.� He said the newly elected council would need me to consider all aspects of the situa on. “We need to have the proper informa on to make the proper decision. If the need arises, we can organize a forum where we can discuss this but it can be a divisive issue,� he noted. In terms of ooding costs paid by the town, only 70 per cent of that amount is covered by the provincial government. “We have to come up with the 30 per cent,� he said.

PARRYWINKLE JAMES PARRY So Hudson has a new mayor and council this week dear readers and we shall see what ideas and energy they will bring. But here’s a most heartwarming story that I’d like to share with you about a devoted couple of long me residents who have seen many previous administra ons come and go. S ll very much in love and who can be seen almost daily - rain or shine - walking PHOTO BY MAURICE JEFFERIES hand in hand to a local restaurant for breakfast or brunch with a twinkle in their eyes. Any guesses who I’m talking about? --------------DOUBLE ANNIVERSARY - Why, none other than 96-year-old Gordon (Gordy) Hulley and his beloved wife, 93-year-old Helen who recently and quietly celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary and who had a most talented photographer at their family party to record this milestone celebra on. Again, guess who? Why, Helen’s daughter, Linda, of May’s Studio fame, of course. Also celebra ng a very special anniversary this year. Namely, the 55th anniversary of her third-genera on eponymous photography studio at 459 Main Road that has been an integral part of not only the business community but also the social life of our li le hamlet by the lake for over ve decades. Visually recording for posterity countless births, gradua ons, engagements, weddings, special anniversaries, major happenings and developments, and virtually everything in between with a personal touch so rare today that you just can’t buy for love nor money! I caught up with Gordy and Helen earlier this week and, of course, being the in-depth inves ga ve reporter that I am, I had to ask them the secret to their long and happy marriage which began in a small church in Morin Heights in The Lauren*ans on September 27, reportedly during a li le snow urry no less. Laughed Gordy, a former construc on worker with a lifelong passion for photography who decided to turn his hobby into a business in 1962 a er su ering a back injury, “I listen to Helen.� Countered Helen without missing a beat, “I listen to Gordy.� Ah, don’t you just love it? (See photo on our Facebook page). --------------PICTURE PERFECT - In today’s digital, high-tech, computerized, instantcommunica ons world, it may be hard to believe that back in the 1960s all photography was black and white. Boxes of lm were a big seller. And, depending upon the rush, prints could take a couple of days if not longer to be processed. Helping out wherever she could was their teenage daughter, Linda who, in 1975 upon her parents’ re rement, took over the studio together with her late husband, Ken, who passed away on Christmas Eve, 2015, and who con nues to operate it full me together with their son, David, now the camera and framing in-house specialist to go to. Said Linda, “My parents were, and s ll are, a source of great inspira on to me and wonderful role models. They have lived together, worked together, and laughed together for all these years. Just as Ken and I did. And I love them dearly.� As do so many others living in Hudson and surrounding communi es, Linda. All of whom are invited to pop by May’s Studio on Saturday, November 18, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for a glass of wine, nibbles, a chat, a chance to reminisce, and to discover how the studio has developed in this anniversary year with all new ooring, a new processing and developing lab, an expanded gi and framing department, and much more. One thing that hasn’t changed, however, is the mind-boggling collec on of vintage cameras - some of them over 100 years old - on the shelves just to the le as you enter the studio. A mini museum that is tangible proof of just how much the world of photography has developed over the decades. And will surely con nue to do so for many more to come. For more info on the celebratory day, give Linda or David a call at (450) 458-4621. They would surely love to hear from you. And who knows? They may even be taking photographs for posterity! --------------MORE MAYORS - Speaking of which, when Gordy and Helen rst opened May’s Studio in 1962 there were actually three mayors in what is now the Town of Hudson, created on June 7, 1969, when the Villages of Hudson, Hudson Heights, and Como-Est were joined with George Armstrong as its rst mayor. Respec vely, they were Dr. George W. Runnells, J. Bruce Jordan, and Gordon Nelles. Go gure! And that’s a wrap! E-mail: crea*on@videotron.ca

Hawa wins second term as Ste. Anne’s mayor John Jantak Your Local Journal

Paola Hawa was re-elected to her second consecu ve mandate as Ste. Anne de Bellevue mayor defea ng rival Lucie LaRose on Sunday, November 5. The par cipa on rate was 53.2 per cent. Hawa received 1,063 votes (53.63 per cent) and opposi on candidate Lucie LaRose received 919 votes (46.37 per cent) out of 2,014 ballots cast. There were 32 spoiled ballots. Councillors Dana Chevalier, Ryan Young, Francis Juneau and Yvan Labelle were re-elected. The two new councillors are Tom Broad and Denis Gignac. , " For Hawa, her re-elec on was a clear indica on the majority of ci zens supported her campaign pla orm and council decisions that were made during her rst four-year term, although she was disappointed with the voter turnout. “I’m very happy I’m going to get a chance to con nue on with some of the great projects we’ve already started,� Hawa told Your Local Journal. “We’ll be doing a lot of big things so that we keep moving forward. We’re s ll on the right track but I would have preferred if more people par cipated in the elec on. The par cipa on rate was really low.� - . Hawa is trying to determine which issues council should work on in the next four years. “I’ve already got about 20 items up on the board and looking forward to ge ng them done li le-byli le,� she said. “At least the huge les were se led in the last mandate so it’ll be nice to not have to start on life-or-death type of items, like the Programme Par culier d’urbanisme (PPU) and the transfer of Ste. Anne’s Hospital,� she added. One possible plan for the vacant land surrounding Ste. Anne’s Hospital which is now a geriatric care facility as well con nuing services for war veterans, is to provide appropriate services for the elderly, said Hawa. The recalcula on of contribu ons made to the Montreal agglomera on will also help to fund new projects. The city is expected to save just over $3.4 million by 2019. “It’s very useful. Some

( / Despite a $35 million lawsuit that was launched by la sociĂŠtĂŠ DĂŠveloppement Immobilier Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue (DISAB) in July regarding the city’s revised PPU that protects a large swath of green space in the north from development, Hawa is adamant its urban development plan will not be revised. “We’re more determined than ever to keep our PPU as it is. We will not be swayed to change it because of the lawsuit,â€? she said. “I think the people have spoken and demonstrated they are behind the city standing rm.â€? 0 ! Hawa’s also pleased her campaign approach resonated with most voters. “I think I ran a very clean campaign. I’m proud of that,â€? she said. “There were many chances and occasions to have gone another way but we stuck to our guns and proved that you can run a clean campaign and win. Let this be a lesson to everyone in the future.â€?

Violin plays a role in remembering the 100th Anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge James Armstrong

In remembrance of those who served our country and in honour of those who continue to do so. #CANADAREMEMBERS

A violin that travelled with its owner, Karl ‘Chub’ LeBaron through many of the major ba les of World War I, including the Ba le of Vimy Ridge, has a familial link to Hudson. “Karl LeBaron was my grandfather who fought in and survived Vimy Ridge,� said Stuart LeBaron, owner of LeBaron Bites Catering Company. The younger LeBaron recounted some early memories of his grandfather who died in 1975. “He was a very so -spoken man who never talked about the war,� said LeBaron. “The names of all the ba les are scratched into the varnish on the back of the violin.� LeBaron described his family as musically talented. “My grandmother played the piano and my grandfather, his Vimy violin.� Currently, the Vimy violin resides in Toronto with LeBaron’s cousin, violinist Grant Campbell. ‘Chub’ LeBaron received the violin, made by Lowendall, in the early 1900s. “He was given it as a child in 1904. It was given the name Vimy as that was the rst ba le they were in when they arrived in France. They went right

According to the younger LeBaron, the origin of the ‘Chub’ moniker remains a mystery, as his grandfather was not a par cularly overweight person. “No one seems to know how he came by that name,� he added. For Stuart LeBaron, the Vimy violin story is an important piece of his family history to pass on to the next genera on, his daughter, four and a half year old Bailey LeBaron.

Hudson Remembrance Day Parade and ceremonies brave bad weather on Sunday, November 5 %

Sporadic torren al rain failed to dampen the spirits of some 400 marchers and spectators alike aged from eight to 98 who braved the elements this past Sunday, November 5, to be part of Hudson’s annual Remembrance Day Parade along Main Road culmina ng in an emo onal ceremony at the Stephen F. Shaar Community Centre. As always, organized and hosted by Hudson Legion Branch #115, led by the s rring pipes and drums of the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada Cadet Corps 2497, and including serving Military members and con ngents from the Army, Navy, and Air

Force, this year’s parade di ered from others in years past, however. And all of it posi ve. For the rst me ever, three local cadet corps swelled the ranks of marchers comprising Corps de Cadets de l’Air Vaudreuil-Dorion Squadron 867, Cadet de La Ligue Navale de Valley eld Corps 182, and Cadets de l’ArmÊe de Rigaud Corps 3. Because of the inclement weather, the wreath-laying ceremony was moved indoors into the community centre’s main hall that would normally have served as the vo ng sta on in Hudson’s municipal elec on - held the very same day - which was only vacant because the sta on had been transferred to St. Thomas Elementary School across the road.

And outside, a wreath was placed below the newly-installed plaque on The Cenotaph - the only one of its kind in the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region - honouring those who served in Afghanistan by two local Veterans who were there. Namely, Warrant O cer Stephane Boisclair with the 6th R22eR (The Vandoos) and Captain Jonathan Bouchard, an intelligence o cer with the Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Highlanders based in Cornwall, Ontario. All wreaths placed can now be seen at The Cenotaph on Beach Road. Local Veterans, including four who served in World War II and who were seated in the front row - Maxine Bredt, Peter Stephenson, Norm St. Aubin, and Harry Trenholme - were visibly moved at the

outpouring of respect and gra tude shown for their service. And at day’s end, another Remembrance Day ceremony came to a close, respec ully and mission accomplished. # . ! )

Putting the customer ďŹ rst at RĂŠgate Kia ValleyďŹ eld %

)

Shopping for a new car should be a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, nding the right vehicle also means nding the right dealership and that can o en spoil your car shopping experience. Pressure sales, dishonest tac cs, uncaring salespeople... We’ve all experienced the worst that car dealerships can o er. Fortunately, you can also discover the best purchasing experience as well as your next car when you visit RĂŠgate Kia in Valley eld. RĂŠgate Kia Valley eld holds a franchise for new Kia vehicles, but it also maintains a wide range of used cars from mul ple brands. “We’re a family-oriented business,â€? says Steve Charland, co-owner and general direc-

tor of RĂŠgate Kia Valley eld. You will feel the di erence the moment you walk in the door: Friendly atmosphere, smiling sta , helpful sales professionals, and no pressure tac cs. “Pressure selling doesn’t yield good transac ons,â€? Steve says. Many dealerships promise you the same, but very few deliver as RĂŠgate Kia – as its 11-year presence in the community proves. “Our salespeople were not hired for their sales experience. They were hired for their personality,â€? Steve explains. “I’ve hired people who had li le sales experience, but who had a personality that re ected the image we wanted to project.â€? There is a di erent feel to RĂŠgate Kia – the vibe is called “Kia Extraordinaireâ€? because of the special energy present in the showroom. And customers have no ced, as the many comments on RĂŠgate Via Valley eld’s Face-

book page prove. “A big thank you for the great personalized service! No surprises, no judgment. Wow,â€? says one sa s ed customer. “A very friendly sta , very down to earth, and excellent service,â€? says another happy client. “The best place to be served as you expect to be,â€? echoes yet another enchanted buyer. You’ll feel the same way once you’ve visited RĂŠgate Kia Valley eld. Building on its con nued success, RĂŠgate Kia has opened a second loca on in Hun ngdon to be er serve its ever-growing clientele. “This new endeavor is built on the same founda on of unmatched exper se and respect of our clientele’s needs,â€? Steve says. Both loca ons aim to serve – from the sale of a wide range of cars to the mechanical repairs and aesthe c maintenance of your

vehicle by trained Kia specialists. Steve is keen on maintaining the exper se of his sta with frequent training.

Cammie is a *ny black female cat who was born October 20, 2015. She is a very delicate li)le girl. We know that she had babies outside but her homeless days are now over. She is in a warm and safe foster home and she has adapted extremely well to becoming an indoor cat! She enjoys looking outside and really enjoys being pe)ed. She is calm and sweet and she gets along very well with the other cats in her foster home. For more informa*on regarding Cammie, please contact us at (514) 706-2287 or by email at cascavaudreuil@outlook.com.

Finding the right veterinarian for your beloved pets can be a di cult process.

Luckily, you can count on HĂ´pital VĂŠtĂŠrinaire Hudson for providing the best possible pet care. HĂ´pital VĂŠtĂŠrinaire Hudson has been a member of the local community for over 50 years. Lifelong customers have fond memories of bringing their rst pet to HĂ´pital VĂŠtĂŠrinaire Hudson, and genera on a er genera on of pet owners have con nued to rely on the passionate care and experience of the hospital’s veterinarians and technicians. Over the course of its years of service to local pet owners, HĂ´pital VĂŠtĂŠrinaire Hudson has ensured it remains on the cu ng edge of veterinarian technology. The hospital o ers a wide range of services and it is accredited by the American Animal Hospital Associa on. “We o er many services, from internal medicine to surgery and most general prac ces. We o er ultrasounds. We have digital radiography, and we can do endoscopy in certain situa ons,â€? says Dr. Amanda Cockburn. “The variety of surgical services we o er is quite large. We do have a specialist that comes to do

special surgeries when more exper se is required.â€? The hospital o ers den stry, acupuncture, osteopathy, and laser treatment. Their services include care for exo c pets such as rep les and birds, and it is a recognized cat-friendly prac ce. All these services are not usually so accessible outside of large ci es, so caring pet parents can rest easy knowing that HĂ´pital VĂŠtĂŠrinaire Hudson can see to their loved ones’ every health issue. “It really is our goal to give the best quality of medicine, the best variety, and really target what each pa ent needs,â€? Dr. Cockburn adds. The hospital is also open seven days a week. “We’re the only place in the area that o ers a full day on Sunday. It’s to help our clients out.

HĂ´pital VĂŠtĂŠrinaire Hudson also works closely with local animal rescue organiza ons. “We o er reduced costs to rescue programs. It’s the way we can donate our resources to help control the stray cat popula on.

The English Gardener Bringing houseplants inside before the ďŹ rst frost hits %

Well, it’s that me of year again folks. And don’t let these most unseasonal-type temperatures fool PHOTO BY GREG JONES you. ‘Tis me to start preparing houseplants and others that have been outside all summer for their return inside. Assuming, of course, that you want to keep them for another year! I recall one year when, being the procras nator that I can be at mes, I kept pu ng it o as the weather was so glorious and I gured I had a couple of weeks to get everything done. Big mistake! I woke up one morning to discover there had been a totally expected heavy ground frost. Lost a whole bunch of my favourites that I had nurtured for years. And I spent the next couple of days like a doc doing triage trying to gure out which ones were in most immediate need of help if

they were to survive. Somehow, albeit with a few casual es, it all worked out. But I wouldn’t want to go through it again. Which is why I’ve started doing the following and thought you might appreciate these ps. Bringing in the houseplants in their pots, most of which are actually tropical plants, is not as straigh orward as it may seem. You need to acclima ze them from outdoors to indoors so as not to give them a shock from which they may not recover. Think perhaps of your trip to the Caribbean or other sun spots when you saw newly-arrived vaca oners soaking up the sun on their very rst day on the beach and looking like painful lobsters for the rest of their stay. Same thing with plants but in the reverse order. It is very important to acclimate your houseplant to the environment changes from outside to inside and, if you don’t, they could well experience shock, wil ng, and leaf loss as the light and humidity changes are drama cally di erent.

PHOTO COURTESY PEXELS.COM

So here’s what I do. I’m gradually moving them closer to the house so that they are not stuck somewhere out in the garden when the rst ground frost hits. For the rst few days, I’m bringing the plant inside in the evening and moving it back outside in the morning and then steadily increasing the amount of me it spends indoors un l it is in the house full- me. One of the biggest problems involved in the process is the possibility of bringing unwanted hitchhiking pests and bugs into the house. And let’s save Lady Birds and Asian Lady Beetles for another column! Su ce to say, inspect them thoroughly for bugs and insects and get rid of them. Clean the soil in the pot. Gently wash the leaves and stems with a mild solu on of

cold water and liquid detergent. And remember that, once inside, they will not need as much water as they did outside. So only water when the soil is dry to the touch. And how’s this for a fascina ng p a fellow gardener shared with me this week? To get rid of bugs in houseplants that thrive in warm, dry houses, just push a clove of garlic into the plant’s soil. If the garlic sprouts and grows, simply cut it back and let the process con nue un l next spring when it will be me gradually to move them all outdoors again. Q R < # ! ? ~ * €#

St. Thomas Ladies Auxiliary calls it a day after 43 years of spreading Christmas cheer James Parry

For the past 43 years, a very special group of volunteers has been a brilliant part of Hudson’s Christmas and Holiday fes ve season bringing goodwill and joy to so many, including those less fortunate in our region and even further a eld. They are the St. Thomas of Aquinas Ladies Auxiliary, founded by Frances Hynes in 1947 with but one objec ve – assisting people in need and especially children which they have done ever since at their

Heroes Continued from page 12 2 3 Quilts of Valour - Canada was founded in 2006 by Lezley Zwaal in Edmonton Al-

eagerly-awaited Christmas Arts & Cra s Sale held in Reid Hall below the church at 413 Main Road. Sadly, this year’s sale – being held Saturday, November 18, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. – will be their last. As Auxiliary secretary Lise Dorval told earlier this week, “Unfortunately, a er 43 years of constant work, it is now me for us to say goodbye due to older age and lack of member renewal in recent years.� When it all began, the group had some 40 members with Hynes as their leader and inspira on. Earlier this week, the

Magni cent Seven ladies s ll carrying on gathered for a photo on the steps of their church. Namely, Frances Hynes, Pauline Poirier, Lise Dorval, Muriel Baggo , Jose e Malle e, Renate Pasborg, Barbara Verboomen and Marta Deschamps. Said Hynes on behalf of them all, “We would like to thank all parishioners who brought all kinds of cra s and wonderful desserts along with all those who supported our e orts by visi ng our annual Christmas Arts & Cra s Sale. They have helped support so many chari es and worthwhile causes such as Father Veilleux’s marvelous

berta. According to the QOVC website, their mission statement is to provide a sense of comfort to all of Canada’s injured military personnel and veterans. Representa ve Mary Ewing recalled that Zwaal discovered Canadian Veterans were coming home from war without a sense of comfort. She decided to make a

change with Quilts of Valour. QOVC has signi cant members across the country whose crea ons have been presented to over 7000 injured CAF members and veterans. The group’s goal is to reach out to 10,000 injured CAF members and veterans with Quilts of Valour by 2018.

work in Peru, including the adop on of local families and providing medical supplies in that country.â€? Added Dorval, “In our diocese, our annual sale has helped abused women, as well as sending children – including those with physical challenges – to summer camp. And in Hudson, we have long supported the Le Pont/Bridging food bank helping families in need at this very special me of year as well as the emergency fund of our beloved priest, Father Roland Demers.â€? The date again is Saturday, November 18. Prices are marked down and, as always, there will be the Ladies’ famous bake table replete with Chelsea buns, fruitcakes, pies, tour ères and turkey potpies that always sell like hot cakes. A great occasion to stock up on your Christmas gi s and perhaps thank the ladies for a job well done.

The group wants to ensure that injured Canadian Forces members are recognized for their service and commitment to Canada by providing hand-cra ed quilts to past and present members of the Armed Forces as a token of gra tude for their service.
