Vaudreuil-Soulanges by the numbers Stephanie O’Hanley

Special contributor

Last Friday, March 31, local journalists were invited to sit in a cozy corner of Les Coteaux’s municipal library to hear Lucie Charlebois (pictured above, leŌ), Liberal MNA for Soulanges and MarieClaude Nichols (right), Liberal MNA for Vaudreuil, give their take on the newly tabled 2017-2018 Quebec budget.

Charlebois, who is Minister for Re-

habilitaƟon, Youth ProtecƟon, Public Health and Healthy Living, and the Minister responsible for the Montérégie region, called it a “very good budget,” poinƟng out the government not only balanced its budget but reduced the province’s gross debt as a percentage of gross domesƟc product (GDP).

“We’re super happy because there will be direct benets in the county, parƟcularly in health,” Charlebois said.

“I agree with Lucie, it’s an excellent

budget for Quebecers,” said Nichols, who is Deputy Government Whip. “It’s the third balanced budget our government has tabled. I’m very proud.”

While opposiƟon parƟes accuse the government of cuƫng health program spending, Charlebois said this isn’t true.

Holding up a document, she said, “This table lists precise amounts. As you can see, expenditures have never stopped increasing.

Proposed St. Lazare traffic circle continues to draw flak from residents

John Jantak

Your Local Journal

The proposed construc�on of a trafc roundabout at the intersec�on of Avenue Bédard and Chemin St. Louis con�nued to swirl in controversy during ques�on period at the Tuesday evening council mee�ng, April 4, as resident Michel Lambert submi�ed a pe��on with over 100 signatures from ci�zens opposed to the project.

The second pe��on comes almost three weeks a�er District 4 Councillor Marc-André Esculier started an online pe��on that had registered almost 250 names. At issue is what would be the most cost-effec�ve solu�on to improve the ow of rush hour traffic at the intersec�on of Chemin St. Louis and Avenue Bedard - a traffic circle or traffic lights.

Mayor Robert Grimaudo said it was determined that a traffic circle was the least expensive op�on and would save the town $600,000 compared to the installa�on of a traffic light. The town has already put in a reserve to purchase four corner lots for the roundabout and could be liable to compensate the landowners if the reserves are withdrawn.

Loan by-law registry signing Grimaudo said even though the town is considering the roundabout, no nal decision has been made as to whether the project will be approved. It will be up to the residents to determine its outcome through a registry signing a�er a loan by-law is adopted at a future council mee�ng. If enough signatures are registered, the proposal would then go to a referendum.

“I don’t understand what the big

storm is about,” Grimaudo told Your Local Journal. “I don’t get it. We spent $9 million on a water ltra�on plant and no one ba�ed an eye. We budget $300,000 for buying land for the poten�al roundabout and its become the storm of the century. What we’re being asked to do right now, which in my opinion makes very li�le sense, is to put up a wire and s�ck a traffic light in the middle.”

The town’s Director General Serge Tremblay said a 2005 study concluded that even though Exit 26 along Autoroute 40 didn’t exist at the �me, the town’s proposal to put in a traffic light would not be adequate to deal with the expected growth in traffic in the area and a roundabout would be the best solu�on.

Esculier s�ll feels the town is misguided in its determina�on to s�ck with the

roundabout proposal, saying the focus should be on nding a solu�on to increasing traffic density in the downtown core along Chemin Ste. Angélique as more people move into the new, nearby housing developments.

UnintenƟonal misinformaƟon A recent media report about the city having conducted several studies related to the roundabout and traffic situa�on was raised by resident Alan Nicol and immediately dismissed as being inaccurate by Grimaudo.

EDITOR’S CORNER

Moment of truth The veracity and credibility of community newspapers were called into ques�on this week on at least two occasions with one elected official sta�ng, “…the paper is full of untruths. There are errors in the paper and misquotes and that’s a fact.”

While we don’t deny that the paper is put together by human beings who are known, on occasion, to make mistakes, every effort is made to accurately report events as they occur, consult with authori�es on the topic at hand, and print a retrac�on or erratum if our human side happens to show.

No journalist will willingly spend two hours – or some�mes more – to a�end a council mee�ng, take notes, listen and relisten to audio recordings, conduct follow-up interviews, and o�en take an accompanying photograph, unless he or she holds their work to the highest personal standard. Our journalists’ bylines appear next to everything we write and ‘untruths and misquotes’ reect worse on us than on the subjects we cover.

Without striving for accuracy, we do a disservice to the readers who rely on us as an informa�on conduit and the adver�sers who trust our pages with their own products and – by extension – standards and reputa�ons.

To tar every writer or publica�on with the same ill-informed brush would be tantamount to saying all poli�cians are liars and thieves.

Photo of the week

PHOTO BY JOHANNE SYMS

St. Lazare resident Johanne Syms caught this special visitor who landed for a four-hour rest recently in her backyard.

Do you have a photo taken in the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region you’d like to submit as a Photo of the Week? Send it to editor@yourlocaljournal.ca. Due to the popularity of this feature, we’ve had many submissions and will feature them all on our website at www.yourlocaljournal.ca/photo-of-the-week.

Dear Editor: editor@yourlocaljournal.ca St. Lazare Roundabout vs traffic light – the other side of the story Dear Editor, As Councillor of District 4 in St. Lazare, my responsibili�es concern the best interest of all of St. Lazaze and I was concerned by the local French paper’s publica�on of informa�on to the popula�on regarding the projected roundabout project vs traffic lights at the intersec�on of Bédard Avenue and Chemin St-Louis.

Therefore, I proceeded to write a rst le�er with different informa�on which was published on Change. org and a community website.

Following that, the town administra�on, in my presence among others, prepared a very professional presenta�on to review the es�mates on hand as well as the points in my le�er vs their published informa�on. The result conrmed the following: • The number of rms mandated to evaluate the two projects as well as the traffic situa�on in St. Lazare was only one, WSP previously known as Genivar, and not many rms as published. Mayor Robert Grimaudo stated that it was either human error or simply a misunderstanding of his comments. I also agree with the opinion of many people that more than one rm should be mandated to submit an evalua�on of such projects.

• The es�mated cost of a roundabout was published as $1.2 million. This was the ini�al es�mated price in 2013 and the actual indexed es�mated price is $1.68 million as es�mated in the 2018 budget.

Mayor Grimaudo stated that he did not realize that the price quoted was not the indexed price.

• The traffic lights’ installa�on was published as es�mated to cost $600,000 more than a roundabout.

This quote is correct but is based on a traffic light installa�on with added turning lanes and the move of a Hydro Quebec Massif which alone is es�mated

by HQ as being in excess of $360,000. The HQ electrical Massif crosses Chemin St-Louis and is trav-

elled over on a daily basis by heavy vehicles thus making the need to move it ques�onable. People in the eld report that they encounter such a situa�on regularly and see no need for a move. Also, a concerned ci�zen who has worked in the eld of trafc light installa�on for over 40 years got es�mates from two specialized rms and one, although par�al but did cover the traffic light heads and control box, was es�mated at $60,000 while another rm was es�mated at $150,000 to $250,000 for a complete installa�on with two heads for each direc�on as per MTQ regula�ons but did not include the addi�on of turning lanes.

• Many construc�on projects taking place in St. Lazare are the reason for the planning of a roundabout at that intersec�on because of the inevitable traffic growth generated by this situa�on. The construc�on boom is taking place mostly in the east end of the town as well as the downtown sector where the camp site used to be. The traffic growth, already showing signs of happening, is in the east end and downtown rather than that intersec�on.

The main street in the downtown sec�on is not capable of handling the an�cipated 2000 more vehicles that will need to use it for shopping purposes.

Therefore, the business sec�on of the town could lose a lot of shoppers who will choose to go elsewhere because of traffic problems. This is, in my view and the view of many people, the right priority that should be addressed immediately and not the intersec�on in ques�on. A proper traffic light with mo�on sensor is a good enough solu�on for a few years to come and at a very low cost, thus allowing over $2 million of budget to address a much more important priority.

In regards to the upcoming St. Lazare leaf collec�on schedule, it was inadvertently reported in the December 22, 2016 edi�on of Your Local Journal that District 2 Councillor Pamela Tremblay opposed con�nuing the collec�on program. Councillor Tremblay supports the program and encourages all residents to take advantage of it.

The area code for an exclusive phone line for informa�on for Chaline Valley residents in the March 30 edi�on, Work to stabilize Chaline Valley landslide zone will begin in late 2018, page 3, was incorrect.

The actual number is (514) 250-0964. Your Local Journal regrets the errors.

Efforts to preserve Sandy Beach and surrounding land from possible development was once again a topic of discussion at the April 3 Hudson Town Council mee�ng.

Petition for a referendum on purchasing Sandy Beach up for discussion James Armstrong and Carmen Marie Fabio

Your Local Journal

The Sandy Beach project, officially named the Pine Beach development project by the developer, was the subject of a lengthy discussion between several Hudson town councillors and resident Richard Grinnell during the council mee�ng held Monday, April 3.

Grinnell brought council’s a�en�on to the pe��on he started last fall, saying the pe��on now has a total of 1273 signatures and of those, 543 are from Hudson residents. The pe��on asks the Town of Hudson to hold a town-wide referendum on the subject of purchasing Sandy Beach and the land between it and Jack Layton Park for the purpose of preserving it as a public park. Grinnell said council had told him he needed 500 signatures for his pe��on.

“It was not for a referendum to be held, but to open the subject,” said Councillor Deborah Woodhead. She said the last �me a referendum was held concerning the property it was regarding a by-law change. “According to the owner, the land is not for sale.”

The exchange between Grinnell and Woodhead con�nued un�l Grinnell said that he had heard that someone represen�ng the town had presented an offer to the owner of Sandy Beach that was rejected. Mayor Ed Prévost claried no one had represented the town in an ofcial capacity.

ReporƟng in quesƟon When Grinnell replied he’d read it in the paper, Councillor Woodhead responded, “You know that the paper is full of untruths. There are errors in the paper and misquotes and that’s a fact,” adding, “No offense, James,” a comment directed at this writer.

In the Thursday, October 6, 2016 edi�on of Your Local Journal, it was reported that Grinnell asked council how many signatures he would need on his pe��on for council to hold a referendum. Councillor Woodhead was chairing the meeting as Pro-Mayor and a�er an exchange with Grinnell said, as veried a�er consul�ng archival audio recordings, “….500 signatures would be great.” She did not specically state that this would trigger a referendum.

We didn’t tell you to get those signatures. You did that.

We said that if you get the signatures, we’d talk. We are talking.

– Councillor Ron Goldenberg An ar�cle �tled Sandy Beach project dead in the water in the January 19, 2017 edi�on of Your Local Journal reported local residents William Nash and Daniel Gauthier proposed buying a sec�on of the land and conferred with the Nature Conservancy of Canada who declined due to the compara�vely small land parcel size. Though the Town of Hudson was consulted, and were credited for being very helpful, agreeing to a mee�ng with landowner Hans-Karl Muhlegg and the two residents, any chance to purchase was halted following a le�er on behalf of Muhlegg by registered urban lobbyist Marc Perreault informing them that if they wished to purchase the property, a serious offer must be deposited with the owners by December 20, 2016.

Nash and Gauthier concluded it was impossible to meet that deadline, and that as far as they were concerned, the project was over.

THE SOAPBOX CARMEN MARIE FABIO

Vegetables matter It must have been my years of sarcas�c comments about slabs of dead animals thawing on our refrigerator shelf that nally had my husband cave in to the sugges�on that we, as a family, try going vegetarian both as a health – and social – experiment.

In keeping with our general ‘Go big or go home’ approach, he bought a vegetarian cookbook and special grilling pan while I eschewed the usual Costco purchases of esh-in-bulk in favour of a selec�on of fruits and veggies. He upped the ante by buying things like quinoa and wild rice mix, dried roasted chick peas, and a kilo of cashews. The situa�on suddenly got real.

Pragma�sm outweighing principles, we agreed not to throw out any of the remaining meat products in the house but rather to eliminate them by a�ri�on. Or more accurately, cooking and ea�ng them. So the ritual weekend Kra� Dinner s�ll contained hot-dogs and the homemade Pad Thai noodles contained fake crab that might very well qualify as a vegetable.

The kids have been pre�y good sports about the whole thing except for my youngest who keeps poin�ng out the fact that there are s�ll a few packs of bacon in the freezer purchased when we had found a really good sale.

If you’re considering going the veggie route, here a few interes�ng things we’ve gleaned thus far.

Herbs are awesome. Buy some parsley, basil, dill, cilantro, and green spring onions. Chop and sprinkle liberally on everything. Same for garlic and ginger.

Roast your veggies. I grew up with suburban-boiled-everything and only in the last few years did I learn how much virtually every veggie is improved once roasted. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and pop into a 400° F oven. Don’t burn them. Easy peasy.

A marinated and grilled Portobello mushroom cap in a hamburger bun loaded up with all the trimmings is a respectable subs�tute for a meat burger. And anything salted and deep fried (yes, even tofu) dipped in a spicy sauce is a hit with the kids.

Unlike vegans (hey, we’re only so dedicated) our only restric�on is “nothing with a face” so we’re s�ll consuming eggs, milk, and cheese leading to some interes�ng experiments.

Cooked bu�ernut squash, with a bunch of cheese, breadcrumbs, and egg added is the base for some awesome ‘Squash Balls’ and panko bread crumbs made the stuffed mushroom caps sound more sophis�cated than they actually were.

It hasn’t all been smooth sailing though. The recipe for whole wheat noodle salad with green peas and tahini dressing was a bit of a dud.

“Are they ready?” my husband asked of the long brown strands of spaghe� imposter.

“I can’t tell,” I told him as the texture deed any pasta I’d ever encountered.

Like changing any lifelong habit, embracing a vegetarian diet has had its signicant challenges but I’ve discovered a benecial side angle.

Now, when I want my kids to do something they’re not keen on doing, all I have to do is promise them, “I’ll buy you a cheeseburger.”

Letters

is a sense that they are listening but not hearing the concerns of the town’s ci�zens.

Brian Trainor A Concerned Saint-Lazare Resident

Saint-Lazare concerns Dear Editor, The new town hall, the annual Fes�val au Galop, and most recently the proposed traffic circle at Bédard Avenue and Chemin St. Louis – Saint -Lazare town council con�nues its record of pushing forward with its own agenda with as li�le as possible informa�on and consulta�on being offered to the public.

While it is true that they are careful to adhere to all legal obliga�ons and procedures, the regular requests for more public consulta�ons and input on these and other major expenditures con�nue to fall on deaf ears. Town council obviously believes that they are only accountable to the ci�zens once every four years, on elec�on day.

Unfortunately the ques�on of accountability and transparency also extends to our mayor. Since council agreed to rezone land adjacent to the Restaurant Mon Village, I requested details of the proposed combined housing and commercial project no fewer than nine �mes from the mayor – three town council ques�on periods, ve email requests and reminders, and one detailed voicemail message. To be fair and transparent I do have to acknowledge that hours before the April 4 council mee�ng, the mayor did nally contact me and followed up by providing me with the requested informa�on prior to the meeting at which I am sure he realized he was to face my 10th enquiry. As I had stated in one of my latest emails to the mayor – “At this point I can only assume that either you have a problem with answering the ques�on or a problem with the person asking the ques�on. While I do not know which of those two is the problem, it really doesn’t ma�er to me, I s�ll expect the respect of a response to a ques�on by a citizen of our town.”

Surely the mayor and town council in Saint-Lazare should be responsible for transparency and accountability of their ac�ons each day of their four year mandates, and yet on many major issues, there

St. Lazare foundaƟons Dear Editor, I am wri�ng in response to the ‘Editor’s corner’ from the March 30 edi�on of Your Local Journal. This ar�cle men�ons the recent founda�on work that will take place to stabilize the Chaline Valley of Saint Lazare. It men�ons the inconvenience that the residents will need to endure and also the implica�on of the project. I agree with the author that this is a stressful event for those involved and that the purchase of a house represents the largest, most signicant investment that most people will make in their life. I also agree that this must have come as a nasty surprise.

I am glad to see that the Chaline Valley issue is nally being dealt with. I hope that the next item on the Saint Lazare agenda will be to help residents who are also dealing with a ‘nasty surprise’ – that of a sinking house. These houses are sinking because the soil on which they are built is not suitable.

Like the Chaline Valley problem, the sinking house issue is affec�ng dozens of home-owners in Saint Lazare. I will quote your ar�cle ‘residen�al development in any city should not merely be from the ground up but well below the soil of the founda�on.’

Let’s hope that the provincial government will open up a subsidy similar to that of the Volet 6 which was available in 20132014, and that this �me the town of Saint Lazare will take full advantage of it.

Sign of the Ɵmes Dear Editor, During this past winter there has been a bit of a mystery regarding local snow clearing signs.

At various places around St. Lazare there are snow clearing signs, some with a picture of a snow plough followed by a ques�on mark, others with the snow plough followed by a picture of a snail in a yellow triangle, and then others with the snow plough followed by ’5 H.’ Normally a ques�on mark means an informa�on centre, which in this case means to phone 311. The snail in a yellow triangle means Ralen�ssez or Slow. Then there are the others with the snow plough followed by ’5 H’ and the word pa�ence.

A capital H usually means Hospital, but 5 what? Certainly not hospitals, maybe 5 hours, but hours is usually abbreviated as hr. (or in French hre.) and if it is 5 hours, does that mean snow clearing starts at 5, or nishes at 5, or takes 5 hours? Hence the mystery.

At one �me, I thought the town of St. Lazare might be running a compe��on as to whoever can interpret all of the signs correctly, wins a prize, as signs must convey a simple message at a glance It is amazing that the residents of St. Lazare have managed to survive all the past winters without these expensive signs, but we can only hope that if expensive snow clearing signs are posted next winter, someone in the town hall will use more understandable signs, pictograms or standard ‘signalisa�on rou�ère,’ or maybe even announce another ‘mystery compe��on’ in the Your Local Journal next fall.

Team we are to challenge Vaudreuil-Dorion political status quo John Jantak

Your Local Journal

More than 150 people gathered last Friday, March 31, at the Goln-Dorion to hear Pierre Séguin announce his candidacy for mayor of Vaudreuil-Dorion and present a full slate of eight candidates for council in the upcoming municipal elec�on this fall under the poli�cal banner Équipe Nous sommes / Team we are.

Séguin told the enthusias�c gathering the wording for the Team we are logo is meant to focus on the inclusiveness of all the city’s residents including minori�es and Anglophones whose numbers con�nue to increase as more people move into the municipality.

It’s also a major reason why the eight candidates running in their respec�ve council districts are represented by ve women and three men, said Séguin. He noted that the team reects the new face of Vaudreuil-Dorion, its diversity and dynamism.

The candidates for council are Chantal Brunet (District 1 Quinchien), Tahina Manantsoa (District 2, Valois), Karine Anita Ali (District 3, des Bâ�sseurs), Karine Roy (District 4, de la Seigneurie), Delphine Camet (District 5, des Chenaux), Marc Langlois (District 6, Saint-Michel),

Michel Dandurand (District 7, Desrochers) and Daniel Landry (District 8, de la Baie).

Party inclusive to all residents Séguin said the party’s inclusiveness towards all ci�zens is evident by the foreign origins of three council candidates who came to Quebec as newcomers – Ali from Bangladesh, Manantsoa from Madagascar, and Camet with roots from both France and Poland.

An elec�on victory for their team will ensure room is made at the decisionmaking table for English-speaking and cultural communi�es, given their growing number and contribu�on to the development of the city, said Séguin.

“Our team absolutely reects the city’s diversity,” Séguin said. “VaudreuilDorion isn’t just French-speaking. There are a lot English-speaking people and a lot of people from different origins. We wanted to make sure everybody is well represented in the team.”

A condent team Séguin expressed total condence in the team saying all the candidates have a lot of experience within their individual elds of exper�se. Séguin himself has worked for almost 20 years as a legal advisor to the city but le� his posi�on before announcing his candidacy for

mayor.

Real change will only come if the electorate decides to vote for a new mayor and councillors, according to Séguin. “Mr. (Guy) Pilon has been at municipal council since 1998 and there are two councillors that have been there for about 27 years. Democracy means that some�mes we need a change in terms of leaders and representa�ves. If we don’t do that, it’s always the same old thing.

There are no new ideas. It’s always the

status quo.”

Séguin said he’s pleased real debates will nally take place in the upcoming elec�on, saying that ci�zens will nally have the opportunity to make a real choice as to who they want to lead the city and that elec�on-by-acclama�on is a thing of the past. More details regarding the Team we are pla�orm will be announced in the weeks leading up to the elec�on.

Vaudreuil-Dorion Mayor Pilon challenges opponent’s assertions regarding new city hall John Jantak

Your Local Journal

The announcement made by Vaudreuil-Dorion Mayor Guy Pilon that the town will proceed with plans to build a new city hall was challenged by poli�cal rival Pierre SÊguin during the second ques�on period at the Monday evening council mee�ng, April 3.

SĂŠguin oďŹƒcially announced his candidacy for mayor last Friday and introduced a full slate of eight candidates who will be running for council under the municipal party banner Équipe Nous sommes / Team we are.

The lack of a consultaďż˝on process bothers SĂŠguin, who said the city should be transparent and forthcoming about what the building will look like by presenďż˝ng the architectural concepts to the public for their input. He also quesďż˝oned why architectural and engineering plans are being drawn up before a locaďż˝on has been chosen. “When it comes ďż˝me for the city to hire an engineer and architect, you know where the building will be built,â€? said SĂŠguin. “You don’t give a mandate when you don’t know where it will be located. For me, the mayor didn’t answer my quesďż˝ons properly (at quesďż˝on period).

Public consultaĆ&#x;on requested SĂŠguin added a debate should be held before the city’s current lease expires to enable ciďż˝zens to express their opinions regarding the style and architecture of the building and its locaďż˝on. “It’s called vision. It involves consulďż˝ng people. It’s about making sure people are involved in the decision-making process,â€? said SĂŠguin. “If people object to the project, the only way they will be able to show their dissaďż˝sfacďż˝on will be to sign a registry opposing a loan by-law,â€? said SĂŠguin. “If

Budget Continued from page 1 What we’ve done is controlled increases in spending. This isn’t a cut, it’s eďŹƒcient management. Our children will have a choice and our grandchildren will be able to make choices without being stretched to the limit all the ďż˝me.â€?

New hospital Charlebois and Nichols said Health Minister GaĂŠtan Barreďż˝e informed them the new Vaudreuil-Soulanges hospital project is heading to the planning stage as the government follows rules the Public Infrastructure Act outlines for projects worth more than $50 million. “It’s a big step,â€? said Nichols. “I think this is great news.â€? “It doesn’t take two minutes, it doesn’t take two years, it takes several years,â€? Charlebois said of the project. “We have to do things correctly and follow the laws put in place.â€?

Mayor Guy Pilon announced at the April 3 council meeĆ&#x;ng that the city will build its own dedicated city hall which will be ready before the lease at its current locaĆ&#x;on on Dutrisac Street expires.

enough signatures are registered, a referendum would be held. “What they (council) said yesterday is that they will choose the locaďż˝on, they’re going to hire an architect and engineer and if anyone is against it, they can reject the proposal through a registry signing for the loan by-law,â€? SĂŠguin said.

Infrastructure upgrades a priority The decision to ďƒžnally build a city hall was made because the lease at its second ďƒ&#x;oor locaďż˝on atop a shopping centre on Dutrisac Street is coming to an end because the owner is selling the building and it would be preferable to own their facility, said Pilon.

He said city representaďż˝ves discussed building a new city hall several ďż˝mes over the past few years but deferred any decision unďż˝l the city took care of its infrastructure ďƒžrst, which included upgrading the water ďƒžltraďż˝on and sewage treatment faciliďż˝es and doing restoraďż˝ve work on the St. Charles Avenue overpass spanning Autoroute 40 which was a traďŹƒc nightmare, said Pilon.

Now that the city has taken its responsibility to provide its ciďż˝zens with new infrastructure, Pilon said it’s ďż˝me to AuĆ&#x;sm funding With health spending increasing by 4.2 percent, part of that money will include a recently announced $29 million annual ďƒžve-year investment in services and programs for people with auďż˝sm spectrum disorder, Charlebois said. The plan, which she said will reduce waiďż˝ng lists by 45 per cent, includes diagnosďż˝c and behavioural services for children age 0-5, ďƒžnancial support for families, funding so community organizaďż˝ons can create child care spaces for parents seeking respite care, support sta in schools, and social and professional services for adults with auďż˝sm. “I’m talking about $29 million because in our respecďż˝ve counďż˝es I’ve heard about it a lot ever since I started in poliďż˝cs in 2003 and when I was named Minister for Rehabilitaďż˝on it was the ďƒžrst thing that came to mind for my consďż˝tuents,â€? she said. “When you start young you have a chance.â€?

The government is earmarking $80 million over ďƒžve years for a program to

build a new city hall because VaudreuilDorion is one of the rare municipali�es in the province that does not have its own dedicated building and it’s be�er to be the owner of a building than a leasee.

Budget & Ć&#x;meline He added that while the city sďż˝ll hasn’t decided where it will be built just yet, that doesn’t mean the architectural and engineering plans can’t be developed while a ďƒžnal site is determined. “It doesn’t maďż˝er what we say, Mr. SĂŠguin will be against it,â€? said Pilon. “The fact is we will be in our new city hall in two years and it will fall within our budget and ďż˝meline. We don’t want to lose any ďż˝me so we are having our architect prepare details. We’ve had consultaďż˝ons with dierent departments and in a few weeks we will have the land,â€? said Pilon.

The city hall is expected to be completed just before the lease expires and if an unforeseen delay does occur, Pilon is certain the landlord will be able to accommodate a short extension, adding it’s impracďż˝cal to consult the public on every maďż˝er. “There will always be people who will be against what you present,â€? said Pilon. support community organizaďż˝ons, $10 million in the ďƒžrst year. Besides helping exisďż˝ng organizaďż˝ons, the addiďż˝onal funding will help recognized community organizaďż˝ons that don’t receive government funding.

He noted the city has an excellent track record of consul�ng with the public on environmental, cultural, and certain urban planning aspects such as the con�nuing rejuvena�on of Harwood Boulevard and always welcomes comments and sugges�ons from ci�zens.

PARRYWINKLE JAMES PARRY Being the ‘in-depth inves�ga�ve’ reporter that I am, just back from a week-long fact-nding mission in Mexico checking out progress on the wall promised by U.S. President Donald Trump at that country’s expense. As well as a one-on-one interview with Mexican President, Enrique Peña Nieto, for an exclusive here in Your Local Journal. Unfortunately, I’m sad to report dear readers; it didn’t PHOTO BY work out quite as planned.

MAURICE JEFFERIES --------------THE MAYA THE MERRIER - For some strange reason, our plane landed in Cancun where my beau�ful Sunshine and I were whisked away to a resort on the Riviera Maya where the mariachi band was wai�ng, tequila was owing, the sun was shining, and the only walls many fellow imbibers were talking about were those - albeit in ruin - that we visited at the nearby Mayan 13th-century archaeological site of Tulum.

Also, unfortunately, the ‘walls’ of Sargassum Seaweed that washed up on the beach every morning requiring an army of staff armed with rakes, pitchforks, and wheelbarrows toiling throughout the day in a scene reminiscent of King Canute trying to keep the incoming �de at bay!

A�er ve days of taking it easy and feeling sorry for the guys wielding the pitchforks, however, I asked to borrow one and pitch in for an hour. Put it down to the gardener in me but a dumb move on my part.

For in mid-throw, I slipped on the coral and cracked a couple of ribs.

Ouch! On the ight back, which departed some six hours late because of technical problems with the plane - necessita�ng a replacement being own down from Montreal – I developed a bit of a cough and a cold. Not a good combina�on with busted ribs, I can assure you!

Ah, but we did have fun and it was good to get away from it all if only for a few days. Not that Mexico, mind you, will ever replace Cuba in our hearts, par�cularly when it comes to the beaches. And as just about every traveller will agree, it’s always good to come home. Even if there is some snow s�ll around!

--------------JOLLY GOOD FELLOWES - Which is what Hudsonites Mark and Ann Drake did recently a�er a deligh�ul three-week sojourn in Europe. During which, in London one evening, they a�ended the pres�gious annual dinner of the Kitchener Scholars’ AssociaƟon at the magnicent Royal College of Defence Studies in Belgrave Square. The reason for the invite? Evidently Mark was a Kitchener Scholar at Oxford, bene�ng from the Lord K. NaƟonal Memorial Fund, to which he now gives back every year.

The gala evening was presided over by Lady Emma Kitchener, greatniece of the original Lord Kitchener who was killed aboard HMS Hampshire in 1917 and in whose name the fund was established. And who was accompanied by her husband, none other than Lord Julian Fellowes of Downton Abbey fame.

On behalf of the countless Downton Abbey fans on this side of the pond, Mark asked him why he had nished the blockbuster series shown on PBS. “He told me that the actors had had quite enough and wanted to move on.”

And there you have it in a nutshell folks!

--------------SLOVENIA BOUND FOR GOLD - And how’s this for a trip of a life�me?

Seventeen year-old Hudsonite Alex Baumeister is off to Slovenia in Central Europe this August as one of just ve teens from across Canada chosen to represent our country in the 16th Cortland World Youth Fly Fishing Championship 2017. And to help pay his way, a special Spagheƫ Dinner Fundraiser is being held at The Royal Canadian Legion, 56 Beach Road, Hudson, on Thursday, April 13, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. with �ckets at $15 a pop.

Says his Mom, Jen, “Our li�le community has fostered Alex’s path to the World’s. From those who helped him drop a line into Pine Lake to hook a trout to the crowd at the Hudson Yacht Club who watched him learn to cast his y line on the T-pier. And now he’s going for gold.

R&B Motown concert in St. Lazare James Armstrong

“We play a lot of original stuff and we do a big Motown medley,” said D’Angelo, adding its Motown that inspires him.

“That’s the fundamental founda�on of my ear for music and the groove for everything I write,” he said. “I’m a big fan of the Tempta�ons, the Spinners, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. I love music with a melody, with a purpose.”

D’Angelo is well aware of the importance and inuence of social media.

“We can be entertained anywhere,” he said, referring to the widespread availability of internet connec�vity. “On YouTube we have almost six-million hits and about 600,000 followers on Twi�er,” he added.

With six movies, 10 albums and a television show, plus 10 or 11 live concerts per year, D’Angelo s�ll nds the �me to write lyrics and compose music. “At this point in my life, it’s easy to write,” he said. Indeed, he was in the

Canadian singer/songwriter Frank D’Angelo and his 15-piece band will be performing at Bar Chez Maurice in St. Lazare on Saturday, April 8 on the second second stop on their tour that began in Ga�neau, Québec at the Lac-Leamy Casino and con�nues with performances in Ontario ending in May. D’Angelo maintains a seemingly impossible schedule that includes lmmaking and a Friday night television show, “The Being Frank Show” broadcast on City TV Montreal Fridays at midnight.

“It’s all about being alive,” said the ar�st/entrepreneur during an interview Tuesday, April 4. “I’ve been doing this a long �me,” he said, “and there’s nothing like a live performance.” It promises to be an entertaining and energe�c event with strings, brass, rhythm sec�on, and backup singers adding spice to the sizzle.

Budget Continued from page 9 Other investments include: • $7 million, which Charlebois said “will

mainly go to Montreal,” to provide 150 homeless people with apartments and support services; • An addi�onal $20 million for preven�ve health; • $5 million for a project distribu�ng fruit and vegetable snacks to schools

EducaƟon Charlebois said there were no cuts to the educa�on budget. “We freed up interest on the debt. That allowed us to invest elsewhere,” she said, no�ng $1.8 billion “to enhance support for students throughout their school path” and $1.5 billion for higher educa�on, “will benet our coun�es because young people are our future.”

“Some great announcements are coming in educa�on,” Nichols said.

“We’re inves�ng a lot of money in infrastructure and we have two new infrastructure projects in Vaudreuil that will be announced shortly.”

Miscellaneous Nichols said she and Charlebois made Finance Minister Carlos Leitão aware of

their priori�es for Vaudreuil-Soulanges and that they put “a bit of pressure” on Leitão to renew the RénoVert green renova�on tax credit program for another year.

The planned 27-sta�on Réseau électrique métropolitain rapid transit system will have an impact on ci�zens, Nichols said, poin�ng out the government is chipping in $1.3 billion in addi�on to the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec’s $6-billlion commitment.

People may not be aware of Quebec’s Roulez vert program, which offers rebates when you purchase a green vehicle, she said.

The government is spending $36 million over the next ve years to help local and community print newspapers with digital transi�ons, Nichols told reporters.

She said a refund of health tax contribu�ons paid in 2016 for people earning $134, 095 or less and a general income tax cut benet ci�zens. “It’s not everyone who pays taxes but for those who do, this will make a difference,” Nichols said.

Elected officials and invited guests were on hand Thursday, March 30 for a cinq-à-sept to officially inaugurate the new offices of the Municipalité régionale de comté Vaudreuil-Soulanges (MRC-VS) on Harwood Boulevard.

“Our accountant looked at the numbers and it just made more sense to have everything under the same roof instead of paying rent in different locales,” said Communica�ons Director Simon Richard of the new $5.3 million structure near the corner of Chemin de Lotbinière. The structure houses the MRC offices, Municipal Court, and as of June 1, the Centre Locale de Développement (CLD) will be occupying the top oor of the threestorey building.

Built incorpora�ng locally sourced Potsdam sandstone and recycled barnwood in the design elements, the architecture includes numerous oor-toceiling windows allowing for maximum natural light throughout the day. A corner office with two walls of windows serves as both a boardroom and the monthly mee�ng area of the mayors of the 23 towns that make up the MRC-VS, represen�ng a popula�on of just over 150,000.

“We’re the second-fastest growing riding in the en�re country,” said Liberal Member of Parliament Peter Schie�e.

While acknowledging the area’s history da�ng back to confedera�on, he said the move to the new spaces brings the rid-

ing into the 21st Century. “We’re growing with our community.”

Twenty-ve MRC employees and 15 from the CLD share the building whose locale was chosen as part of the Harwood Boulevard revitaliza�on project.

Launched in 2012, the master plan is to convert Harwood into a pedestrianfriendly zone including expanded sidewalks, bicycle paths, and the crea�on and rejuvena�on of exis�ng parkland.

“We would have liked to have a ‘green’ roof,” said Richard, “but it wasn’t in the budget.” The roof, however, is painted white to help deect summer air condi�oning costs.

The staff used the Christmas holiday break to move from the former loca�on on Saint-Charles Boulevard with no interrup�on in services.

Rigaud Mayor Hans Gruenwald Jr. applauded the decision to build, rather than rent separate loca�ons, ci�ng the �me and nancial savings. “Every �me you have to travel (between offices) it’s not very environmentally friendly or efcient.”

“It’s a very func�onal, governmental type of building which is effec�ve for its purposes,” said Hudson Mayor Ed Prévost. “But the more important part is the people who make this func�on. The people at the MRC all really get along with each other very well and that makes things easier, no ma�er where you work.”

Spring Projects Five ways to spruce up your house for spring Lauren Mitchell

Special Contributor

AŌer a harsh Canadian winter, it’s advised that we all do a check of our houses and see what needs tending to. More than spring cleaning, you also need to check the things that you probably only want to do once a year to get it over with. Here is a list of ve things you can do to spruce up your house in this spring

season to get ready for summer.

Check the state of your driveway AŌer a long freezing, thawing, and melƟng process of the snow on your driveway, asphalt and concrete can begin to deteriorate. Cracks can form from these weather changes and can become a major problem if not addressed.

Weeds can grow through the cracks, or even grow through damaged seams in paving stones. If, aŌer all the snow is gone, you noƟce some cracks appearing, call your local driveway specialist to get a quote on renovaƟons to x this before the cracks and weeds take over.

Get your roof checked Heavy amounts of snow weighing on your rooŌop can be an issue for your shingles. AŌer withstanding harsh weather, it’s best to inspect the roof covering. Make sure there aren’t any crooked or missing shingles. You also will want to check there is no possibility of water damage to your home by inspecting the shingles and sealant for possible leaks.

Consider cleaning your windows inside and outside Mold and dirt can accumulate quickly around windows with sudden changes in temperatures. However, a change in

weather will also bring on more sunshine. A sunny day is a great opportunity to grab either a hose or power washer and clean all the outdoor windows, and then move on to cleaning products and paper towels or newspaper for the indoor sides. Consider hiring a professional company for the enƟre exterior job and save yourself the hassles with the ladder.

The English Gardener Trumpeting Easter Lilies James Parry

Your Local Journal

With Easter Sunday just two weeks away - on April 16 to be exact - it’s �me to rediscover a truly PHOTO BY GREG JONES terric indoor plant named Lilium Longiorum. Be�er known in simple English as the Easter or White Trumpet Lily that has long been accepted as symbolic of Easter. And, because of its big white out-facing trumpet-like blooms, a symbol of purity, grace and rebirth as the ower of the Resurrec�on and of the Virgin Mary.

What’s more, with a li�le tender loving care and if you like a challenge (and what real gardener doesn’t?) it can be recycled to bloom again next year. But more about that a li�le later.

Right now they are best-sellers in stores and garden centres throughout the region and indeed right across Canada. And what a wonderful story they tell, having been men�oned over the centuries in literature, poetry, history, and even mythology.

It is claimed by some, for example, that these white lilies were rst found growing where Jesus Christ prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane the night before his crucixion and it is said that the owers sprang from drops of sweat that poured from him in his agony.

There is also a story that when Eve was banished from the Garden of Eden, she was so sorrowful that her repentant tears owed freely and became the white lily as they struck the ground. And the associa�on with the Virgin Mary?

Well, the Angel Gabriel was said to have given her a sprig of white lilies when he informed her she was to be the mother of the Christ. And when Mary died, it was said her tomb was lled with growing white lilies.

In mythology, there is also the story of when Juno, the Roman Queen of the gods, was nursing her son, Hercules, a drop of her milk fell from the sky to become the lily. The rest stayed way up above to become the constella�on we now know as the Milky Way Different �mes, different mores, however. And during the prudish Victorian era, the owers were considered to be blatant symbols of sexuality because

Spring Projects of their stamens and pis�ls and whenever they were exhibited the offending parts were snipped off. Go gure!

And now back to recycling your newly-acquired Easter Lily. Once the danger of frost is over, simply remove it from the pot with the root ball intact and plant six to eight inches deep in the garden. When the plant yellows and goes dormant in late summer, just dig up the bulb and plant it in a six-inch pot using a coarse, porous po�ng soil that drains quickly covering the �p to a depth of about half an inch.

Drainage is cri�cal, however, and one solu�on is to place at least two inches of small pebbles or pea gravel over the drainage hole. Bring it inside, water sparingly, and then basically forget about it.

Root growth is rapid and should appear in about a week although they usually require about 180 days to bloom.

Destination Salaberry-de-Valleyfield Fun and fabulous fashion at Femme ou Fille Jules-Pierre Malartre

Special contributor

When it comes to fashion, you want to look your best and whether you’re aiming for a professional, playful, or elegant look, you need fashion experts who understand your needs and a bou�que that stocks what you’re looking for. Femme ou Fille in Valleyeld has been catering to their fashionable clientele for over 30 years.

The secret of the bou�que’s enduring success is its changing nature and how it has adapted to the evolving fashion world and the needs of its clientele. The bou�que is a staple of Victoria Street’s shopping strip.

Its reputa�on for carrying the best that fashion has to offer has drawn clients from both sides of the border and as far away as Quebec’s Far North.

“We have women who have been with us for years, and who come back with their daughters,” Suzanne Carrier, owner of Femme ou Fille proudly says. “Everyone says that service is what sets them apart from the compe��on, but when it comes to Femme ou Fille, it’s more than that. I want our clients to walk out our door loving the way they look. I thrive on giving women the self-condence they crave.

If you are wearing clothes that you don’t like, you don’t behave the same way. I want women to feel self-assured no matter what their budget is.”

Suzanne is a strong believer in fashion for every budget. The store does carry highly fashionable lines that can be seen as more expensive, but there is something for everyone at Femme ou Fille. Whether you want to renew your en�re wardrobe or only get a few more items or ensembles, Suzanne and her staff will treat you like a valued customer, which is the secret to their clientele’s enduring loyalty. The bou�que’s name does not merely mean that it caters to both women and girls. It’s really a play on the sen�ment that there is an inner child in all women, and how the bou�que can help you bring it out. Suzanne is proud to encourage Quebec and Canadian designers, including Frank Lyman Design and Luc Fontaine.

Femme ou Fille is hos�ng its Bi-annual Fashion Show Sunday, April 9, in collabora�on with other local fashion bou�ques.

“I will present our Spring/Summer 2017 lines. We are calling it ‘Fashion from toe to head’ as opposed to the old saying,” Suzanne explains. “We will offer discounts and door prizes.”

Femme ou Fille is located at 203 Victoria Street in Valleyeld. You can visit their website at www.femmeoulle.com to nd out more about their collecƟons. Also visit the Facebook page to nd out more about current promoƟons and the upcoming fashion show. You can also call the bouƟque at (450) 373-2227.

restric�ons in our beau�ful town?

The town representa�ve did answer that normally there are 21 days to reply, and that his ques�ons were being looked into.

A second student asked if studies had been done for traďŹƒc circulaďż˝on with the Pine Beach Project (AKA Sandy Beach).

She wondered if there any concerns since there was only one point of access to this proposed development which is located in a school zone.

The quesďż˝on is a good one. St. Thomas Elementary and the Community Centre are already busy traďŹƒc zones. Add to that an entrance to a new development and you will need traďŹƒc control, especially as people rarely drive the appointed 30 km / hour along this stretch.

The mayor replied these studies had been done years ago. But I’m not sure if we know the results and I would ques�on if they are currently relevant or would need to be redone based on today’s reali�es.

One last point that I found of great interest had to do with ar�cles in the local newspaper. There was some contradic�on as to the validity of what was being wri�en.

On the one hand a councillor said the paper was full of “untruthsâ€? (Pine Beach related) and on the other hand the mayor and the DG said that what had been wriďż˝en in the paper, referring to an interview with the mayor (on Pine Lake) was completely true.

So when do we believe what we read and when do we not? Especially as there are very few sources of informa�on for Hudson’s ci�zens.

It was invigoraďż˝ng and promising to see the new faces at the April meeďż˝ng. Keep it up! For our town to get back on track and ďƒ&#x;ourish as it should, we need these diverse groups aďż˝ending council meeďż˝ngs and voicing their concerns. You have the opportunity and the responsibility to shape our

Continued from page 6 Hudson Tourism?

Dear Editor, The Director General, Mr. Jean-Pierre Roy, has suggested, according to last week’s issue, that Hudson would beneďƒžt from the restoraďż˝on of Pine Lake as it would support “tourism.â€? (Pine Lake update – more waiting, page 9).

Does anyone want “tourism� to come to Hudson? I don’t. What would they do here?

They cannot even hardly see the river from anywhere... much less swim and enjoy it.

What else is there? Private, undeveloped scrub land to gaze upon?

More tourism would only promote annoying excessive traďŹƒc on our inadequate road system... that’s about it.

Does anyone want that?

Naomi Henshaw Hudson New blood at the same old, same old‌ Dear Editor, It was a pleasure to see some new young faces at the April 3 Hudson Town Council mee�ng. A few high school, CEGEP, and perhaps university students a�ended.

They asked some of the most relevant ques�ons. One had requested access to informa�on about two weeks ago, and was wondering why his request had not be acknowledged by the town. Typically when you request informa�on, you get a conforma�on email – that was his experience in other ci�es. He was looking for info about the PTI (3-year plan) and water consump�on data, both very important subjects of discussion. How can we think of future development if we are already on water usage

Was there a maniac driving the snow plow?

Dear Editor, Now that the snow is going away it reveals how much damage the snow plow has made on peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front yards and how much asphalt was ripped open, which I have never seen in all the years I lived here.

Part of my neighborhood looks like a Third World country, the town is broke and has no money to repair streets, it seems in their eďŹ&#x20AC;ort to ď&#x192;&#x17E;nd cheaper contractors they are now dealing with snow removal drivers who now contribute to the deterioraďż˝on of our streets.

I submi�ed pictures of the damage to Town Hall and got a usual blah blah answer that it is my landscaping that is in the wrong place.

I s�ll hope the person in charge will have a talk with the snow removal guys to be less destruc�ve when racing through the streets with their heavy-duty vehicles.

Director-General of Quebec ElecĆ&#x;ons: Say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;NOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to QESBA! Dear Editor, No sooner have members of the Quebec English School Boards Associaďż˝on (QESBA) returned from the costly Naďż˝onal School Boards Associaďż˝on Conference in Denver, Colorado where they presented a workshop bad-mouthing Quebec, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been reported the Associaďż˝on passed a resoluďż˝on asking the government to extend their current mandate.

They claim that with municipal elecďż˝ons this November and provincial elecďż˝ons slated for October 2018, having school board elecďż˝ons in November 2018 would be a burden to voters because there would be too many â&#x20AC;&#x153;pancartesâ&#x20AC;? (placards) out there.

The Associaďż˝on has asked for â&#x20AC;&#x153;a sixmonth delayâ&#x20AC;? to May 2019. What claptrap!

Consider these facts: The English Montreal and Lester B. Pearson school boards are being invesďż˝gated by not only the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anďż˝-corrupďż˝on unit (UPAC), but also by the provincial auditor.

Findings are expected soon.

QESBA vice-president, Suanne Stein Day, who is chair of the Lester B. Pearson School Board was found guilty of violaďż˝ng the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Code of Ethics three separate ďż˝mes in 2016.

That said, it seems to me that in order to clean house, school board elec�ons should be held sooner, not later.

The Director-General of Elec�ons should order them held in May 2018.

Pine Lake Dear Editor, Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you love it when the province gets involved in local municipal decisionmaking?

Here we have MDDEFP and MAMOT and MRC-VS all involved in the decision making for Pine Lake! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like reading alphabet soup!

The only group that should be involved is the GETITDONE group!

Municipali�es elect councils to make decisions. It has been three years since the Pine Lake disaster! How much longer can

Ghost in the Shell – Movie Review

PHOTO COURTESY PARAMOUNT PICTURES

Jules-Pierre Malartre

Special contributor

Genre: Science-cƟon Rated: G Parental Guidance: Moderate to heavy graphic violence, disturbing images, not recommended for young children Playing: Cineplex Odeon Carrefour Dorion, Cineplex Kirkland, Des Sources 10, Cinema 7 Valleyeld (subject to change)

Welcome to our new monthly movie review column. We kick things off with Ghost in the Shell, the sci- adventure starring Scarle� Johansson (Captain America: Civil War) and directed by Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman).

Ghost in the Shell is a live-ac�on “remake” of the groundbreaking animated movie of the same name released in 1995. The original animated version set the genre ablaze in the 90s with trendse�ng visuals that became the standard for anime movies.

Like adapta�ons and remakes of original materials o�en do, this live-ac�on version takes a lot of liber�es with the source material. While such departures are o�en necessary, some directors can’t help messing with a good thing.

However, the live-ac�on version of Ghost in the Shell s�ll stands on its own.

This is due mostly to the charisma�c portrayal of the main character, Major,

by Johansson. Here is an actress that is working very hard to prevent being typecast as her Black Widow role in The Avengers movies. Ever since rst starring alongside Robert Redford in The Horse Whisperer in 1993, and culmina�ng in Lost in TranslaƟon in 2003, Johansson has shown extensive breath in her acting abili�es. She has not been afraid to embrace the sci- genre, not only with her role as Black Widow in the Marvel

superhero franchise, but in many other movies, including The Island, Her, and more recently in Luc Besson’s Lucy.

Ghost in the Shell could be a mere uninspiring cyber-techno visual feast if it wasn’t for the work of the actors.

Julie�e Binoche adds a heart-warming touch of humanity, and Takeshi Kitano, playing Johansson’s commanding office Aramaki, delivers a surprisingly endearing performance. Pilou Asbæk also portrays a very faithful rendi�on of Batou that die-hard anime fans will like. The original anime source material and the work of the cast breathe life into Ghost in the Shell, preven�ng it from being a mere uninspiring successor to a trove of previous female badass sci- ac�on vehicles such as the faded Resident Evil

and EvoluƟon franchises.

In developing the visual world where Major lives and works, Sanders did not avoid any of the pi�alls that previously visually-heavy movies such as Tron: Legacy fell into where the sets steal the scene from the actors and the plot. The images are at �mes so heavy that they almost become nausea�ng, like a bad version of Blade Runners on drugs.

With the rabid invasion of cybernetics and computers into our daily lives, the �ming of this live-ac�on, updated version of Ghost in the Shell seems t�ng. It may not say anything new on the subject, but Ghost in the Shell offers a very compelling ending.

Maxine Bredt

leaving for O�awa right now. I have polished all the bu�ons and medals on both my original ba�le dress and blue and white uniform with its veil, but I s�ll have to put them in the suitcase. I’m taking them both because I’m not sure what the weather is going to be and I always like to be prepared. So if you forgive me James, I have to dash but will talk when we get back.”

That we certainly will Maxine and looking forward to seeing the photographs to be taken by Chris�ne who told YLJ, “We are all so proud of our Mom. It will be an emo�onal trip for her but she is so eager to get there she is almost like a young girl again.”

On behalf of all your many friends and admirers for whom you will be forever young, have a safe and wonderful trip Maxine and see you upon your return.

Continued from page 10

Just prior to her departure, Bredt who joined the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps as a nursing sister in 1944 and who nished her service in 1946 having tended the sick and the dying in both Italy and England - told Your Local Journal in her inimitable style, “I am so thrilled and looking forward to it. But I don’t know how or why they chose me.

A�er all, I was just doing my job during World War II and was lucky enough to survive. But I am proud to represent our li�le town of Hudson and all the members of our Legion.”

Bredt, who had just returned from the hair salon then apologized for cut�ng our conversa�on short. “We are

Continued from page 3 “I know how I was quoted. I said we consulted rms. I didn’t say we consulted many rms. I’ll be more careful the next �me I speak to journalists. It’s a good thing that John (Your Local Journal) doesn’t make mistakes like that.”

Council later approved a resolu�on during its regular session to a release the report regarding the budget costs of the roundabout. When Nicol suggested the town could use its accumulated surplus to pay for the project, Grimaudo 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 that would accept using the surplus as a way of payment without consul�ng the popula�on.

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 would go to the surplus to take care of it quickly,” said Grimaudo.

Sandy Beach

Continued from page 08 PeƟƟon Grinnell asked what he should do next to move forward and was invited to deposit his peƟƟon with the Town Clerk, Cassandra Comin-Bergonzi, which he did.

Councillor Ron Goldenberg said the council had discussed the legality of Grinnell’s referendum quesƟon and, in their opinion, it is not a legal quesƟon and is potenƟally biased.

“We didn’t tell you to get those signatures. You did that. We said that if you get the signatures, we’d talk. We are talking,” said Goldenberg. Grinnell replied that it wasn’t a discussion, that the councillor was being dictatorial.

Mayor Prévost brought the discussion to an end, referring to the meeƟng the town had with Muhlegg and Perreault following the informaƟon meeting held Thursday, February 16, at the

Community Centre.

The mayor said a lot of comments, suggesƟons, and modicaƟons from ciƟzens at the presentaƟon were on record. “We met with Mr. Muhlegg and his associate and reviewed all of our issues to see which ones would y or would not y on behalf of the town,” said Prévost adding that a public presentaƟon is planned although a date has not yet been chosen. “Our responsibility is to manage the town. Sandy Beach is part of it. It has to be scheduled into our order of prioriƟes.”

Pine Lake Update Resident Chloe Hutchison requested an update on the plans for Pine Lake and the dam during the second quesƟon period. Prévost replied, “If you read Your Local Journal (March 30 ediƟon), there is an arƟcle that gives you as good an update as I can give you right now.”

SDC Hudson Councilor Nicole Durand reported the Société de Développement Com-

mercial Hudson (SDC Hudson) held its Annual General MeeƟng Friday, March 31. “They submiƩed their budget, it was approved, there was a full quorum,” said Durand adding new board members were elected.

During the second quesƟon period, resident Diane Piacente, who, unƟl recently was on the board of directors of SDC Hudson and was present for the AGM, added it was well aƩended.

“When is the town going to send out the assessment fee invoices for 2017?” asked Piacente. “The former board were noƟed in January that Louise Craig had made a complaint at the January council meeƟng ciƟng irregulariƟes with the SDC,” she added. “The allegaƟons were all false, perhaps due to some misunderstanding, as to who could sit on the board and who could not,” said Piacente. “The only procedural glitch was that we did not have a quorum for our 2016 AGM. So we didn’t appoint any new members, we didn’t pass any resoluƟons, we had an

informal meeƟng.”

A similar problem arose for the 2016 SDC Hudson budget meeƟng that did not have a quorum. “We had 19 people and I thought the percentage was 20 per cent, not 25 per cent (of the membership),” she said, adding an apology.

According to Piacente, the resoluƟon concerning the quorum issue has been amended to a 10 per cent raƟo as the former raƟo was unrealisƟc. The mayor said council would take her presentaƟon under deliberaƟon and get back to her.

Snow Removal Issues Council’s resoluƟon to send a noƟce to the town’s snow removal contractor regarding signicant breaches of contract drew applause from residents.

Council and ciƟzen dissaƟsfacƟon with snow removal throughout the 2016 – 2017 winter was underlined by a resident’s complaint on Monday evening that approximately eight feet of the front lawn on her property had disappeared due to snow removal.
