TheĹ&#x152; in a Coteau-du-Lac pharmacy located on Route 201 took place Sunday, September 17, shortly aĹ&#x152;er 10 a.m. SĂťretĂŠ du QuĂŠbec (SQ) spokesperson Sgt.

AcĆ&#x;ng on informaĆ&#x;on obtained from a witness, police located the suspect and arrested him later the same afternoon in Coteau-du-Lac. The arrest allowed police to establish that the suspect may be implicated in other pharmacy theĹ&#x152;s in the region over the last few weeks.

Quebec reviewing briefs ahead of eventual provincial cannabis legalization John Jantak
Your Local Journal
The provincial government is presently reviewing briefs and comments that were presented by various organiza�ons and the public as it tries to determine the best legisla�on it should enact to coincide with the eventual legaliza�on of marijuana across Canada in 2018. Soulanges MNA and provincial Public Health and Healthy Living Minister Lucie Charlebois a�ended the many public consulta�on sessions that were held across the province over a three-week period which ended on September 12 to gauge public opinion on the ma�er. People were also able to provide their feedback on the province’s official website. Not opposed to legalizaƟon Charlebois said Quebec is not opposed to the legaliza�on of cannabis but is striving to implement the best possible legisla�on by making sure its laws regarding the sale, consump�on and other aspects including the minimum age of use are in accordance with the unique characteris�cs of the province. “We are following what the federal government is doing so that we can be ready on a provincial level when it’s legalized. It’s not whether we support the federal legisla�on because it’s a ma�er of jurisdic�on, but we will enact legisla�on that is unique to our territorial requirements,” Charlebois told Your Local
Journal during a telephone interview from Quebec City. “A lot of people want to make sure the province has adequate laws in place to ensure it’s controlled properly. It’s about making sure the public’s and our young people’s health are protected and that adequate public security measures are in place on a provincial level when marijuana is legalized,” Charlebois added. As Public Health Minister, Charlebois is also aware of the possible consequences related to cannabis consump�on especially among young people. “It’s not an innocent drug and we will have to implement the right measures to provide access to cannabis while ensuring people aren’t put in danger. We’re working to try and nd the right balance,” she said. Federal stance Peter Schie�e, the federal Liberal MP for Vaudreuil-Soulanges, held a similar public informa�on forum last month to gather feedback from his cons�tuents. He was joined by Louis Hébert riding MP Joël Lightbound, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health. Schie�e explained that the federal government is moving ahead with its ini�a�ve to legalize cannabis because the current system of prohibi�on does not work. He said that several million dollars are spent annually on law enforcement which places a burden on the judicial

system for the illegal possession, sale and consump�on of marijuana. Another important aspect of the new legisla�on is to keep cannabis out of the hands of organized criminal elements, said Schie�e. Having the produc�on and sale of marijuana under government control would help to reduce the dangers to public health by ensuring
that consumers would not be exposed to possible dangerous addi�ves such as PCP from illegal sources. The federal legisla�on will also prohibit the sale and use of cannabis by anyone under the age of 18. Anyone caught selling marijuana to a minor will be arrested and face a possible 14-year prison sentence.

On September 24, 2011 at approximately 2:20 p.m. a passer-by located the body of 18-year-old Jessica Marie Lynn Godin in a ditch on Du Parc Street, in Fournier. That was six years ago and the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is launching a public appeal in an a�empt to reinvigorate this case. Godin had been residing at a friend’s house in Fournier, Ontario. The inves�ga�on revealed that she le� the residence at approximately 6 p.m. on September 22, 2011 and was last seen alive that day between 7 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. in Fournier. The post-mortem examina�on indicated that the injuries she sustained, and the loca�on where her body was found, were consistent with being struck by an eastbound vehicle which would have been travelling on Du Parc Street in Fournier. Inves�gators have conducted 119 interviews but have been unsuccessful in iden�fying the person(s) responsible and/or the vehicle involved in Godin’s death.

EDITOR’S CORNER
Photo of the week
Driven to distraction Kudos to the Ontario Transporta�on Minister for this week upping the penalty levied against distracted driving with motorists now facing nes of up to $50,000 and two years of jail �me if they kill or injure while being careless behind the wheel. Even when it saw s�ffer increases in nes in 2015, the Quebec law against using a cell phone behind the wheel s�ll lacked teeth in comparison to our neighbours immediately to the west. Unfortunately, drivers here at home are s�ll not discouraged from taking a peek at their small screens if the penalty will not likely surpass $115. Not only does cell phone technology con�nue to evolve at a breakneck speed, laws to legalize cannabis consump�on are right around the corner and police forces that already had to deal with alcohol consump�on and smart phone use will now have to take into considera�on a poten�al increase in cannabis use while a�emp�ng to keep the roads safe. Factor in our ageing popula�on and it’s looking more like a virtual reality game out there with real-life consequences. It’s not a stretch to recognize that nancial deterrents offer more persuasive powers in changing human behaviour than most other modiers. Rather than pump more public money into posters, glossy brochures, and social media campaigns, the powers that be need to take Ontario’s lead and make the punishment of hur�ng, or killing, with distracted driving actually t the crime.

Dear Editor: editor@yourlocaljournal.ca Response to Mayor Robert Grimaudo Dear Editor, I am wri�ng this le�er in response to St. Lazare Mayor Robert Grimaudo’s le�er to the editor found in the September 14 edi�on of Your Local Journal. In this le�er, Grimaudo is defending himself and the council and blaming a resident for ques�oning the remunera�on of councillors with regards to commi�ees. He argues that proving that the remunera�on was jus�ed was a waste of town resources: �me and money. I would argue that the council needs to be accountable for nance and their books should be up to date. Checking the nances should be easy to do if done right. Also, the resident is within his rights to ask for details when it comes to spending taxpayers’ money. Furthermore, I a�ended the mee�ng and the resident did not accuse the council of ‘stealing’ money: he merely wanted clarica�on as to the amounts given and also an explana�on as to why signatures were missing. If the council of St. Lazare were more transparent, residents would not need to ask for clarica�on. This brings me to my second point. Mayor Grimaudo states that a 3-hour ques�on period is too long. Maybe if ques�ons were dealt with properly the rst �me around, residents wouldn’t need to return to seek updates. Ques�ons rarely have a clear answer and it takes many councillors and the DG to answer them. Also, if things were more transparent, there would be less ques�ons. My nal qualm is in reference to Mayor Grimaudo’s ‘open door policy’ of which he is so proud. Mayor Grimaudo’s door is selec�vely open. It depends on the subject of conversa�on. When I approached town hall with my sinking house problem in 2015, I did not have an open door to Mayor Grimaudo. I had to speak to the recep�onist, who informed me he was on holiday. Even upon his return, Mayor Grimaudo did not contact me right away to welcome me in his office. It took a le�er to the editor of Your Local Journal for him to meet me. Answering ques�ons at town mee�ngs, clarifying spending and mee�ng with residents is part of a mayor’s du�es. Concerned resident of St. Lazare, Joanne Ackland
Responsible Governance Dear Editor, During the past ve years, St. Lazare seems to have been ‘going easy’ on contractors and developers by not adap�ng building by-laws rela�ve to local happenings. St. Lazare has had more development in the last ve years than ever before, with 1180 building permits given out, all done without any signicant improvements in essen�al infrastructure such as road widening, easing traffic conges�on around the town centre, overowing drains and inadequate sewage treatment, or upgrading building codes. Chaline Valley landslide risks were known by the town since 2008, but no by-law changes. ‘Sinking houses’ in numerous loca�ons known by the town pre-2012, with possibly hundreds of homes in St. Lazare sinking due to the soil, but no by0law changes. In the H300 development, between condos there is only a 1-inch breglass ‘re retardant’ divider, not a concrete ‘reproof’ divider. A�er ve connected condos were lost in a 2016 re, no by-law changes. H300 homes are being built in close proximity to the sewage treatment plant and houses are planned within 125m of the sewage lagoons, but no by-law changes Maybe these situa�ons meet exis�ng provincial building laws, but St. Lazare has too many of these accumulated problems that needed immediate solu�ons, but no by-laws have been modied to remedy this. One would have expected a responsible administra�on to eliminate the possibility of more sinking houses by demanding a ‘plate test’ or compac�on test with the issuance of every building permit. At $3500, this test determines if the soil will support houses without future sinking but is le� to the developer. A responsible administra�on should have eliminated the possibility of another re spreading from one condo to another in H300, by passing a by-law to force the contractors to build a concrete re proof divider between each unit. A responsible administra�on should have eliminated the possibility of further landslide risk by not using the Quinchen River as an open sewer for 4 million litres/day of sewage water. Not really ‘Transparent and Responsible Governance.’ ConƟnued on page 8
Candidates for Pincourt municipal council John Jantak
Your Local Journal
Alexandre Wolford District 1 Alexandre Wolford is seeking his second consecu�ve term as an independent councillor. Wolford is commi�ed to con�nue serving his cons�tuents by drawing upon his experience as a member of various town commi�ees and on two commissions at the Union of Quebec Municipali�es. He also won the VaudreuilSoulanges Young Leader award in 2015. Wolford said the town has improved its communica�ons with residents by installing electronic message boards and con�nues to promote healthy lifestyles with the conversion of a por�on of Chemin Duhamel into a riverside promenade. If reelected, Wolford will priori�ze adop�ng an environmental policy, con�nue improving road safety, and promo�ng access to informa�on. Denise Bergeron District 2 Denise Bergeron is seeking her second consecu�ve term as town councillor. Bergeron has made many signicant improvements within her cons�tuency including the installa�on of new playground equipment at Shamrock Park, the construc�on of a sidewalk for students on Shamrock Street, the reconstruc�on of a por�on of Forest Boulevard, the installa�on of street
ligh�ng and a vehicle speed indicator and the upcoming repair of Northcote Street. In addi�on, Bergeron has worked to improve security around schools, upgrade the town’s tennis courts and helped to implement the town’s social development ac�on plan for families, seniors, youth, disabled individuals and people from different cultural communi�es. Sam Ierno District 3 ‘Ci�zen empowerment’ is the eloquent and passionate plea Sam Ierno is tou�ng to his cons�tuents as he seeks a second consecu�ve term as an independent councillor for his district. A self-described ‘democrat and humanist,’ Ierno is convinced that ci�zens have power and responsibility which is why he has promoted greater par�cipa�on from residents in municipal affairs during his rst term. His convic�on that democracy demands constant vigilance is a prime reason for Ierno’s re-elec�on bid. He is also currently a member of the Club de L’Âge D’Or de Pincourt and the Second Mile Club, and a volunteer educator and founder of the Filipino-Canadian Associa�on of Vaudreuil-Soulanges. Denise Boyer District 4 Her hard work and commitment to serve the ci�zens in her district during her rst four-year mandate as councillor has prompted Diane Boyer to seek re-elec�on for another term as councillor. Among her many achievements, Boyer
has strived to maintain a stable tax rate for homeowners and ensure the town maintains a balanced budget. She has also worked to improve the town’s infrastructure and enhance the development of its social policy. In addi�on, Boyer is president of Pincourt’s administra�on/nance commission, municipal representa�ve to the Régie de l’eau de I’Île Perrot, member of the Faubourg de l’Île project review commi�ee and is cer�ed as a municipal administrator. John Kinnear District 5 Having already served one fouryear term as councillor from 2009 to 2013, John Kinnear announced his candidacy for the posi�on. A Pincourt resident for 43 years and a self-proclaimed ac�vist striving for be�er medical services, Kinnear said it’s impera�ve that residents have access to another walk-in clinic a�er the only medical centre that served the en�re popula�on of Île-Perrot shut its doors a few years ago. Kinnear has also served on several health and social services commi�ees for many years at the CSSS de Vaudreuil-Soulanges. If elected, he pledges to be the voice of district residents and serve their best interests including conver�ng Duhamel Street back to a bi-direc�onal roadway. René Lecavalier District 6 ‘Look and Go Forward’ is the campaign slogan adopted by René Lecavalier as he seeks a second consecu�ve term to serve his cons�tuents as councillor. He found his rst term to be very rewarding because of the passion area residents have towards municipal affairs. His vision for the future is to preserve the outstanding services already provided by the town while enhancing and fostering healthy lifestyles, social development
and con�nued beau�ca�on of the town’s many parks. Among his many du�es over the past four years, Lecavalier has served as President of the Public Safety Commission and alternate delegate to the CIT La Presqu’Île and Transport Soleil public transit systems. Jim Miron reƟrement District 5 A�er serving 23 years as a Pincourt councillor, Jim Miron announced he will re�re from ac�ve poli�cs and pursue other interests. During his �me on council, Miron said there has been appreciable growth in the size of the popula�on, residen�al and commercial development, and the implementa�on of a wide range of ci�zen services which has enabled the town to keep tax rates stable. He does, however, have two regrets, not being able to see the arena completed and the nonmerger of the island’s four towns into one municipality which he feels would have provided many benets. He thanks his cons�tuents for their support throughout his tenure.

THE SOAPBOX CARMEN MARIE FABIO
Collective reasoning One of the more interesƟng benets of having kids is that I’m exposed to a greater variety and evoluƟon of musical genres than I ever encountered on commercial radio growing up. Having them accompany me on any errand comes with the caveat that musical selecƟons are under their control courtesy of their phones and the umbilical aux cord to my car’s barely adequate sound system. “A CD player?” is a common adolescent reacƟon. “Geez Mum, you may as well have an 8-track in here.” So it was that I was recently introduced to another sampling of new bands, some of which I actually like, including one called ‘Animal CollecƟve.’ And, like most other illogical synapƟc responses, it made me think of the actual nomenclature of animal collecƟves – like a ‘herd of antelopes,’ a ‘gang of turkeys’ and, everyone’s favourite, a ‘murder of crows,’ possibly because of their associaƟon with death given they are scavengers. The list of English terms of venery – an archaic LaƟn word for hunƟng (it can also refer to the human pursuit of sexual pleasure but not here… perhaps in another column) – is extensive and reportedly hails from the Late Middle Ages, specically from the ‘Book of Saint Albans,’ a compilaƟon of hawking, hunƟng, and shing wriƩen by Juliana Berners in 1486. Though scienƟsts are more likely to refer to a ‘ock’ of crows, leaving the ‘murder’ terminology to poets and lyricists, the obscure collecƟve terms are both whimsical and can come in handy on pub trivia nights. Did you know, for example, that a group of rhinoceroses is referred to as a ‘crash’ while a gathering of chickens is a ‘clutch?’ Twelve or more boars consƟtute a ‘sounder’ while a group of buƩeries is ƫngly referred to as a ‘kaleidoscope.’ Other appropriately-named groupings on the list include an ‘ostentaƟon’ of peacocks and a ‘parliament’ of owls. A ‘clowder’ has no other meaning than for a collecƟve of cats, apparently a variant of Old English ‘clot’ for the felines’ propensity to huddle together. A ‘bask’ of crocodiles makes perfect sense as lying in the sun – when not ripping apart some poor mammal that stopped at the swamp’s edge for a drink – is preƩy much all they do. A ‘baddling’ of ducks likely evolved linguisƟcally from either paddling or babbling and ‘business’ of ferrets is said to be a corrupƟon of ‘busyness.’ While walking my dogs recently with one of the progeny, we began to coin our own ‘animal collecƟves’ beginning with a ‘panic’ of small, yappy dogs. This was followed by a ‘tumbleweed’ of kiƩens and a ‘colander’ of worms. It wasn’t long before we’d coined a ‘carbuncle’ of dirty laundry, a ‘ganglia’ of electronic cords and chargers, an ‘apology’ of Canadians, and – my son’s contribuƟon – an ‘embolism’ of exchange students for their ability to swell and cause a blockage in the hallway. Boredom can lead the mind to both obscure and awkward places.

RenovaƟon plans for the Stephen F. Shaar Community Centre in Hudson are moving forward rapidly and are expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Continued from page 6 It is a non-repayable contribu�on for infrastructure and community projects related to Canada’s 150th Anniversary of Confedera�on. Hudson, according to the terms of the grant applica�on, was required to approve a loan-bylaw of $250,000 for half of the cost. Complaint to MAMOT It hasn’t been a smooth road for the renova�on project since the federal funds were granted. “A�er the grant was announced, a ci�zen made a complaint to the Ministère des Affaires municipales et de l’Occupa�on du territoire (MAMOT) and that put the project on ice un�l August 10 when it was declared unfounded,” said Pedneault. Call for offers process With the complaint out of the way, the process of issuing invita�ons to tender bids for various parts of the project began. “We immediately engaged an architect to prepare the plans and designs,” he added. The coming weeks will see
work begin on the oors, ligh�ng and wiring and renova�ons in the kitchen and replacement of the shingle roof. “The calls for tender have been issued, and the plans for the kitchen are done,” said Pedneault adding there would be new stoves and a commercial grade exhaust system installed in the kitchen. “All of that will be approved by the town council,” Pedneault emphasized. “ We are following all of the regula�ons. There has to be a call for offer by invita�on issued for any contract over $25,000 up to $100,000. Over $100,000, it has to be a public call for offers,” said Pedneault. He added all of the details have to be worked out before the call for offers is made. “The architectural rm helps us with all of the specica�ons. There’s a packet of work that has to be done behind the scenes before the call for offers are issued, ” he said. Despite the delays and the rapidly approaching deadline, Pedneault is condent the renova�ons will be completed on �me. For more info on the planned mural, see page 10.

Responsible dog ownership Dear Editor, Unfortunately for me, I am nervous of dogs. I am in my late 60s and some�mes take a chair and lunch to a public park in Baie D’Urfé. Two weeks ago I was about to get out of my car when I saw a man with a medium size dog running loose, so I waited in my car, hoping he would leave. This man saw me looking and shouted “Why are you looking?” I explained politely my predicament but said it was okay and I would wait

un�l his dog had his run. The man said it was a good dog (which I’m sure it is). I then said that I would prefer if the dog was on a leash which I thought was law in a public place. I then received verbal abuse and threatening gestures. Shortly a�er, he le� whilst shou�ng at me. The reason for me telling all of this is to say I’m sure there are some wonderful dogs who bring their owners great joy, companionship and happiness. They just bring me fear. I would be so happy if when the dogs are not in their homes that they would all be tethered. I cannot even go for a walk without being nervous, which I know is my problem but please, dog owners, think of others Jan Webb Kirkland Thank you Dear Editor, I was incredibly impressed with John Jantak’s news ar�cle Canadian Forces veteran now helping others aficted with PTSD (Your Local Journal, September 7, page 13). Thank you for accurate and intellectual wri�ng. Appreciate the support from Tara Fitzgerald for a�ending and se�ng up this interview. Spending more �me in Quebec over this past year I nd peace here in this beau�ful province. The pride and the people are amazing. Much respect, Collin Fitzgerald Kingston, Ontario Thank you 2 Dear Editor, I thought to follow up with you and share that John Jantak should be very proud of himself for being ar�culate, compassionate, and giving a�en�on to detail in his news ar�cle about Master Corporal Re�red Collin Fitzgerald for not everyone we have interviews with “get it” especially in a very short interview. Clearly his knowledge, insight and judgment are top notch. Kerri Tadeu Kingston, Ontario
Time to plug-in Dear Editor, This le�er is to all owners and prospec�ve owners of electric or electric-hybrid vehicles in the Hudson area. There are no plug-in sta�ons in Hudson anywhere. Rigaud has two or three, one of which is at the library – a municipal building. I’ve spoken to the manager of Pharmacie Brunet who has indicated that he needs everyone who is interested and who uses the medical building to phone him since he can only install one if there is a signicant demand. Perhaps the Town of Hudson might consider following the lead of Rigaud and placing a sta�on near a public building in the centre of town, such as near the rehall? I know there are electric vehicles in Hudson, increasing in number. I almost climbed into one the other day because it’s exactly like mine. Let’s prepare for the transi�on to electric by making it possible and convenient for users. Sandra Stephenson Rigaud Praise for Cenotaph Dear Editor, While out walking my dog this past Saturday morning I came across Rod Hodgson and Michael Ellio� installing two new plaques on the cenotaph in Hudson. I complimented them on the new layout of the cenotaph and how lovely it looks. I think these two, and the other commi�ee members who contributed to the work, should be roundly congratulated for their efforts. It is a wonderful contribu�on to the recogni�on of those who served in war and peacekeeping efforts for Canada in the past. If you have not seen the new cenotaph (in front of the Hudson Legion) you could not spend a be�er ve minutes than to visit the site and remember those who served and who fell in defence of Canada.

Rigaud welcomes new Fire Hall Jules-Pierre Malartre
Special contributor
The Town of Rigaud held inaugura�on ceremonies for its new re hall September 18, accompanied by Lucie Charlebois, Minister for Rehabilita�on, Youth Protec�on, Public Health and Healthy Living, on behalf of the Minister of Public Security, Mar�n Coiteux. Other local poli�cal and public service gures a�ended, including MRC Vaudreuil-Soulanges Prefect Jean A. Lalonde, Pincourt Mayor Yvan Cardinal, and several Rigaud Councillors and employees. The new re hall located on rue Jules-A.-Desjardins at the western end of Rigaud replaces the previous installa�on on Chemin J.-René-Gauthier that had been in service since 1992. The 14,000 square-foot structure built on two levels was designed to meet the requirements of the town’s re safety plan and incorporate an eight-door garage, administra�ve and storage areas, a mul�purpose room and a kitchen. Firegh�ng Director Benoit Je�é took to the podium to recite a brief history of the Rigaud regh�ng service. Je�é thanked Charlebois for her involvement in the project and the grant received from the provincial government. “I want to thank the Mayor (Hans Gruenwald Jr.) and all the councillors who had faith in us,” he said. “This is a project that started 20 years ago, and we see the
results today.” Charlebois said the new re hall was of par�cular importance. “This new municipal building serves to ensure not only the safety and wellbeing of the residents, but also of the reghters, because there are needs that must be met for both the popula�on and the people who offer those services.” Charlebois added the provincial government had contributed $1.5 million to the project in line with the Liberal Government’s goal of transforming Quebec. Mayor Gruenwald took to the podium and underlined Je�é’s important contribu�on in ge�ng this project underway. “We consulted the strategic development plan, and we quickly came to the conclusion that we needed a new re hall,” Gruenwald said. He thanked Je�é for his perseverance in ge�ng that project through. Gruenwald also men�oned the contribu�on of the previous administra�on under the leadership of former Mayor Réal Brazeau to the realiza�on of this project. “This project was started under the administra�on of Réal Brazeau. His team put in place the founda�on for this new re hall. They did all the work that was needed to secure a signicant grant,” Gruenwald added. He thanked both Brazeau, who could not be there due to another commitment, and Charlebois for their efforts in ge�ng this project off the ground. See more photos on our Facebook page.

PARRYWINKLE JAMES PARRY Unfortunately, because of a more pressing previous engagement and budget limita�ons - yeah, right - my beau�ful Sunshine and I were unable to a�end the Emmy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night on behalf of The Journal. Hosted by Stephen Colbert and honouring, as it did, the best and brightest of the small-screen. But I was thrilled to see on TV that a gentleman PHOTO BY MAURICE JEFFERIES who is a big fan of Hudson and who has appeared here in person for four of his lms screened by the Hudson Film Society (HFS), walked away with his rst Emmy Award for his work as director and execu�ve producer of HBO’s miniseries, Big LiƩle Lies, which garnered no less than eight in all. --------------HUDSON HOLLYWOOD - I’m referring, of course, to Quebec writer and director, Jean-Marc Vallée, who I had the pleasure of cha�ng with at HFS’s screenings of C.R.A.Z.Y., Café de Flore, The Young Victoria, and The Dallas Buyers Club. And a nicer, more modest and down-to-earth guy you couldn’t wish to meet. And that’s not a lie folks. Big or li�le! A sen�ment obviously shared by HFS president Clint Ward who told me this week that he last met with his friend Jean-Marc in Toronto on December 23 last year when they had dinner together and he explained that he had in fact visualized and shot Big LiƩle Lies - starring Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman - as a feature lm as opposed to individual segments of a TV series. And that he then edited it and ran it as such in seven episodes. Sheesh, talk about Hudson Hollywood. Patrick Dempsey s�ll lming here and now the Vallée connec�on! For future HFS screenings, by the way, go to hudsonlmsociety.ca. --------------THE ENVELOPE PLEASE - And now - with yet another Hudson connec�on - to a second upcoming pres�gious awards gala in the world of entertainment that I’m really looking forward to. Namely, the 5th Annual META’s (Montreal English Theatre Awards) being staged October 23 at the Rialto Theatre in Montreal that recognizes and celebrates outstanding ar�s�c work in this domain. And here’s why. In the category, Outstanding Community ProducƟon, of the ve nominated shows, three are from two Hudson-based, non-prot volunteer groups which staged them at Hudson Village Theatre (HVT) here in town. Namely, The Hudson Music Club (HMC) for Into the Woods, and the Hudson Players Club (HPC) for The Great Gatsby and Balconville. The other two being LiƩle Shop of Horrors by the Côte Saint-Luc DramaƟc Society, and Ruddigore staged by Lakeshore Light Opera. Said Gail Marchand, president of HMC that won in 2012 for Oklahoma!, “It is an honour to be nominated in such great company. Regardless of who actually takes home the trophy, we all share the same vision. Doing all that we can to keep English theatre alive and well here in Quebec.” Bravo to all. And will keep you posted! --------------BARNSTORMING BECKETT - Speaking of the Hudson Players Club which will be presen�ng its Annual Evening of Humorous Readings at HVT tomorrow, Friday, September 22, at 7:30 p.m. with �ckets at $10 for nonmembers – I just learned from publicity chair, John Sheridan that it will be teaming up with local merchants and ar�sans to present BeckeƩ in the Barn with Samuel BeckeƩ’s classic dystopian tale, Endgame, in mid-October. The barn being the one just behind the 2 Barn Owls BouƟque, 420 Main, in Hudson. Explains director, Chris Gobeil, “In a play like Endgame, which challenges so many of our preconcep�ons, using an alterna�ve space like the barn will only add to the visceral impact of this piece.” Adds Mavis MarƟn, 2 Barn Owls co-owner, “We are always looking for different ways of using the barn as a performance venue. We’ve had a variety of live music in here and theatre just seems like a natural t!” I just realized that if I write any more, it won’t t here! So... PHOTO BY PETER MUNDIE That’s a wrap! While aƩending the screening of Café E-mail: creaƟon@videotron.ca de Flore at Hudson Village Theatre a few years ago, Jean-Marc Vallée was pleased to autograph a souvenir poster in the lobby.

With the Stephen F. Shaar Community Centre renovaƟons underway, a designated wall has been primered in preparaƟon of a mural project based on input from members of the community.
Hudson invites residents past and present to submit ideas and help paint Canada 150 mural Stephanie O’Hanley
Special contributor
At a June press conference Peter Schie�e, Member of Parliament for Vaudreuil-Soulanges, announced the Town of Hudson was receiving a $15,000 federal grant for a new community mural project called We are Canada – Nous sommes le Canada. With the town matching the grant amount, the 17,000-square-foot mural now has a total budget of $30,000. Weather permi�ng, this October the
town plans to invite current and former residents to par�cipate in pain�ng the new mural on the exterior wall of the Hudson Legion. The goal is to unveil a completed mural by November 11. “What we’re doing is we’re reaching out to all residents of Hudson, whether they be former or current, to get their input on what type of content they would like to see on the mural,” said Laura McCaffrey, Tourism, Culture, and Communica�ons Coordinator for the Town of Hudson.

Continued from page 10 “When we wrote our grant proposal we wanted to make sure that the project was as par�cipatory and inclusive as possible so that’s why we’re reaching out to our residents,” McCaffrey said. “We’ve got this online form that we ask people to use to submit their ideas so that everything is logged and we don’t forget anybody. But it’s ongoing and I suspect it will be ongoing for another couple of weeks.” With the wall repaired, primed and “ready to go”, she said Kent Thomson and Daniel Gau�er, two “interna�onally renowned ar�sts who we‘re fortunate enough to have here living in Hudson” are taking all of the ideas to put together a concept drawing. Upon town approval, Thomson and Gau�er will put the drawing up on the wall of the legion. “Then we’ll invite all of our residents to help in the pain�ng and crea�on of it,” McCaffrey said. She said Hudson chose to name its Canada 150 mural project We are Canada – Nous sommes le Canada because the story of Hudson closely parallels that of Canada’s. “When you take a look at the First Na�ons occupying the shorefront, to the immigra�on of the ini�al French se�lers who not only se�led the land but did fur trading with the sta�on across the lake in Oka, to the arrival of the English settlers and farming and manufacturing, all that really closely reects the growth of
Canada,” McCaffrey said. In keeping with Canada 150 goals, the mural will “reect not only the past, present and future of Hudson but also the past, present and future of Canada.” While she can’t say whether a majority of Hudsonites know this history, she said so far many submissions revolve around the iconic buildings in town or the landscape, for example Sandy Beach or Pine Lake and buildings such as the library. “So even though people don’t know the history they certainly understand that those things have historical value,” McCaffrey said. “But it’s also about the present and sort of visioning for the future, which is why not only do we want to get input from residents but also younger, school-aged children, for them to have wild and crazy ideas about how they see Hudson in the future. “We can’t possibly t everything in,” she said. “The challenge is to edit things but that the mural s�ll be representa�ve and that’s where our ar�sts come into play. “ It’s a project the town hopes Hudsonites will appreciate well into the future, McCaffrey said. “We really want people to be able in 10 years to bring their kids and say, ‘You know what, I painted right there! I painted that li�le animal right there.’ A real sense of ownership.” To submit your idea, visit www. hudson.quebec and click on the “We Are Canada” banner to access the online form.

“We have to follow the regulaƟons of a cerƟcate from the Ministry of the Environment,” he said. The cerƟcate sƟpulates that equipment powered by petroleum products cannot be used in the vicinity of a waterway such as the Viviry River that passes under the bridge. Similarly, the cerƟcate species that only untreated lumber can be used in the reconstrucƟon.

“The goal is to protect the environment, we are not permiƩed to use treated wood,” said Pedneault. “Work methods are controlled by the MDDELCC.” The bridge rebuilding project grew as work on the structure began. “Originally, we were replacing the railing and the support posts,” said Pedneault. However, as with many reconstrucƟon projects, as the structure was dismantled, it became apparent there was more work to be done. Although he didn’t have exact numbers, Pedneault said the cost of reconstrucƟng the bridge was slightly over the original budget of $13,500.

Mapping a safe road home for Northern Map Turtles James Armstrong

Two Ć&#x;ny Northern Map Turtles, barely ď&#x192;&#x17E;ve days old, were released into their natural habitat of the RaqueĆŠe River in Rigaud on Thursday, September 7. The hatchlings, about each the size of a Canadian two dollar coin, took to the water in a maĆŠer of minutes and hid under a protecĆ&#x;ve log. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are a vulnerable species of turtle,â&#x20AC;? said Guylaine Nadeau from Service dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;IntervenĆ&#x;on Animale Rive Nord, a non-proď&#x192;&#x17E;t organizaĆ&#x;on that provides an
intervenĆ&#x;on service for wildlife in urban areas of Quebec. Life for the two young turtles began with the tragic end of their motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was found on the road in this area and her condiĆ&#x;on wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good,â&#x20AC;? recounted Nadeau. The adult female turtle had sustained serious injuries that were infected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were unable to save her, but as she died, she laid two eggs,â&#x20AC;? said Nadeau who was able to ď&#x192;&#x17E;nd an unnamed source that had an incubator available that could accommodate the hatching of the eggs.

Pawsitively purrfect pets Appeal to help stray cats in our communities CASCA Hudson (Comité d’Aide et de Secours pour Chats Abandonnés) is turning to the community for help in their search for volunteer assistance. The organiza�on, run solely by volunteers, is dedicated to helping out through its T/N/R program (trap/neuter/release) and nding suitable homes for these creatures of human irresponsibility. As there is an overpopula�on of
homeless cats, we are trapping and neutering them to halt their contribu�on to the gene pool and thereby reduce their suffering. These cats and ki�ens are examined by a veterinarian and placed in foster homes where they are socialized with the goal of being adopted into good homes. CASCA pays for the food and medical needs. Unfortunately, some cats being too feral for adop�on are released back to their original, o�en hos�le environment. We are asking people to feed them while we provide sturdy winter quarters. The average life-span of these cats is usually only ve years thanks to our brutal winters. We are in desperate need of volunteers to fulll our mission by fostering cats while we organize adop�on clinics

Our Story
Our Services
Maria and I always had a passion for dogs and longed to leave our corporate lifestyle. In 1995 we seized on the opportunity to become business partners in what was then called Brighton Kennels. In January 2000 our partners retired and Possumplace Kennels was born. Named after our first Golden Retriever Possum, assuring that long after we are gone, Possum’s memory will live on.
We offer customized services such as geriatric care and in-home boarding. “Uncle Bill’s Doggy Bus Ride” service is offered Monday through Friday mornings. We are equipped to administer medications, have 24 hour veterinary services on-call, and understand individual dietary requirements. We require that all boarders be up to date on the following vaccinations for cats: Rabies, Panleucopenia, Calici Virus and Rhinotracheitis. For dogs: Rabies, Basic (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza) and Leptospirosis. Please contact your veterinarian to authorize the release of your pet’s vaccination records to us.
The Possumplace Experience Owned and operated by Bill and Maria Markush
We proudly serve the Montreal region straight through to Eastern Ontario! Always providing quality care for all your boarding and grooming needs. We boast a strong history of continuous operation for some 40 years and our solid commitment to the well-being of the pets in our care ensures safety, comfort and fun for all involved!
Every boarding experience includes the following services and amenities: • Structured playtime in a grassy courtyard. • Administration of medications; oral and topical. • Administration of special diets. • Regular grooming: brushings, nail clipping, ear cleaning + eye checks. • Non-stressful, positive experiences only; we do not muzzle or force any service on our boarders. • Regular supervision + human contact throughout the day.
Possumplace Promise: “We promise pet owners full disclosure of all circumstances related to their pet’s stay with us. We will work with you to ensure the most positive experience for your pet, and the least worrisome separation for you.” - Bill & Maria
Environment offered to our boarders: • Central air conditioning and heated indoor runs. • Fully covered outdoor runs for each indoor run. • All runs have blankets which are laundered daily. • All indoor surfaces washed and sanitized daily. • All outdoor runs and play-fields sanitized 3 times a day. • All drinking water changed daily. • Property is alarmed and monitored against break-ins and fire. • On-site residency. Our boarders are never left alone.
450-451-5112 • www.possumplace.net
We encourage socialization and play amongst our boarders and staff, however we do not train nor discipline our boarders.

Up for adoption
Lexi deserves a home Lexi lived outdoors for the rst three years of her life. She managed… ea�ng here and there when she could. The winters were cold. She had frostbite. She had a rst li�er of ki�ens and they were poisoned by someone in the neighbourhood. The next �me she had a li�er of ki�ens, a kindly neighbour didn’t want them to suffer the same fate so she took them away and brought them to the SPCA. They were euthanized due to overpopula�on. The next �me she got pregnant, the same kindly neighbour took her in and let her live in her front hall un�l she was fostered by Casca. Lexi had her ki�ens in a foster home and her babies were all adopted out. Lexi is up for adop�on now. She just wants a quiet family who will pet her and play with her and let her lay in the sun and look out the window.
PHOTO COURTESY CASCA
The odds are against her – she is almost four years old and has black fur…but she s�ll has hope! Would you adopt Lexi? For more informa�on regarding Lexi, please contact us at (514) 706-2287 or by email at cascavaudreuil@outlook.com.
