Following a tumultuous three years that has seen a veritable revolving door of departing staff members at the Town of Hudson, it’s been revealed that Town Clerk Vincent Maranda no longer retains his position following a resolution that was passed at the August 1 council meeting.

“It was a mutual decision,” Maranda told Your Local Journal. “I have other plans and we (council) agreed that the employment would terminate.”

A commercial and corporate lawyer and Hudson resident, Maranda is looking to start a legal practice specializing in local businesses.

“The separation with Mr. Maranda is amicable,” Mayor Ed Prévost confirmed. “We absolutely wish him the best in the future.” Prévost is currently on medical leave with Councillor Barbara Robinson acting as pro-mayor.

Maranda’s departure follows a string of high profile positions that saw a rapid staff turnaround rate following the revelation that former Director General Louise Lèger-Villandré had misappropriated funds from the town coffers. She pleaded guilty to six of the 19 charges against her December, 2015.

Accounting irregularities were originally uncovered at the town by Sylvain Bernard, who resigned in April, 2014.

He was replaced by Ramin Jawanda who left the position in February, 2015.

Further changes included a two-week suspension of former DG Catherine Haulard in February, 2015 from which she never returned to her job. That case is currently before the provincial

Another in a string of personnel changes at the Town of Hudson, a resolution was passed at the August 1 council meeting ending, by mutual agreement, the employment of Town Clerk Vincent Maranda.

Commission des relations du travail (CRT). Parks and Recreation Director Julia Schroeder is also currently before the CRT following her January, 2016 suspension from her position.

Jacques Lemieux was hired to replace Haulard but left after one week, saying the problems that existed at that time in the town were, “…more in human and political (issues) and not problems of administrative processes.”

He was replaced by Interim DG and former Westmount Councillor Duncan Campbell before Hudson hired its current DG Jean-Pierre Roy in September, 2015.

“It’s a mess,” confirmed Prévost.

“Before it becomes better, we had to make changes.”

The Assistant Town Clerk Diane Duhaime is expected to assume Maranda’s duties until a new Town Clerk is hired.

Vaudreuil-Dorion will install new stop signs at three intersections to improve safety John Jantak Your Local Journal

In an effort to improve road and traffic safety throughout the city, Vaudreuil-Dorion announced at its August 8 council meeting that it will install new stop signs at three intersections it has deemed dangerous in an effort to reduce speeding.

Stop signs will be placed at both sides of Langlois Street at the intersection of Gauthier Street; on both sides of des Roseraies Street at the intersection of des Oeillets Street, and at des Chenaux Road near Dumberry Road just off Highway 40 at Exit 36.

Pro-Mayor François Séguin, who is also head of the city’s traffic study committee, said these three areas were determined to be major trouble spots.

“We review all requests made for stop signs and install them only in areas where they are really justified,” said Séguin.

“We make studies with sophisticated equipment that are very discreet.

We analyze the number of cars that travel along certain roads, the speed they’re travelling, and the time of day when most problems occur. Then we analyze the results with our traffic committee,” Séguin added.

When a resident asked council why the city doesn’t contact the local Sûreté du Québec (SQ) police detachment so they can monitor troublesome intersections, Séguin said it’s not the place of the city to demand that the SQ monitor traffic problems. “We can’t tell the SQ what to do,” said Séguin. “We’re not their boss.”

Séguin added that while many residents would like the city to establish its own police force to deal with these types of issues, Vaudreuil-Dorion is within the confines of the Municipalité Régionale de Comté (MRC) de Vaudreuil-Soulanges, one of two MRCs in the province that do not allow individual municipalities to establish their own police forces because of a provincial decree.

Mayor Guy Pilon has previously stated that the reason why none of

the 23 municipalities that comprise the MRC de Vaudreuil-Soulanges is allowed to have their own police departments is because of the region’s close proximity to the Ontario border and that the three provincial highways – the 20, 30 and 40 – that run through the county are under SQ jurisdiction.

Treasurer pay raise Council also announced that the city’s treasurer will receive a $5,000 pay increase in order to bring the salary in line with other municipalities with a population similar to that of Vaudreuil-Dorion which currently stands at about 40,000 residents.

In response to a resident’s question about the rationale behind the increase, the city’s Director General Martin Houde said the city reviews the salary scales for all its administrative staff annually to determine the median pay scale that is set by the provincial Union des municipalities du Québec (UMQ) for various positions in municipalities with a population

between 25,000 and 50,000 residents.

Houde said that median salary for a treasurer as set by the UMQ is $80,000 and that the $5,000 increase, which

comes to about 8 per cent, is in line with what other municipalities are currently paying their treasurers.

EDITOR’S CORNER

Photo of the week

Armchair politics The Town of Pincourt has been proactive in addressing economic challenges facing its retail sector and thinking outside the box in efforts to keep the community a viable place for young families to live.

It has enticed retailers to set up shop in the town as so many commercial outlets have migrated to the strip malls of neighbouring communities.

It has embraced its English-speaking population as well as its Francophones, despite not being officially designated with bilingual status under provincial rules.

Rather than staking a geographical claim by celebrating either Saint-Jean-Baptiste or Canada Day, the town instead hosts the annual Firemen’s Day, an event unique in the area that has grown exponentially and attracts visitors from throughout the region.

In recognition of the importance of physical activity, environmental footprint, and overall quality of life, town administration converted a significant portion of waterfront road to make it more pedestrian-friendly and, by extension, likely increasing the property value of the houses in the path’s immediate vicinity.

Change often involves compromise but is done with a due process under our democratic municipal governance. And, like many things, democracy is directly proportional to its amount of input.

While attendance at council meetings can range from healthy to abysmal (a reported four attendees, not including journalists at this week’s meeting) backlash via social media to decisions made by elected representatives is abundant.

And while it may be therapeutic to vent, complaining via chat groups punctuated with emoticons does not necessarily equate being an active part of the community.

Artist Marc Walter (left) created the final sculpture for this year’s land-art Hudson 2016 event in Jack Layton Park, Hudson. The piece, woven from recycled branches and twigs from the green waste depot in the town, garnered comments of approval from the attendees during the vernissage on Sunday July 31.

“It was a huge success,” said Daniel Gautier (right) curator of the five-week five-artist event. “We owe a huge debt of thanks to the Municipalité Régionale de Comté de Vaudreuil-Soulanges for their support,” said Director of Culture and Tourism for the Town of Hudson, Nicolas Pedneault.

Dear Editor: editor@yourlocaljournal.ca Dear Editor, For several months, our group of concerned Hudson residents has been asking council questions regarding the $32 million strategic plan posted on the town’s website under ‘Our Town Our Future.’

We are now of the view that council is either deliberately avoiding clear answers, or is not competent to provide them.

A key component of this plan has been a 300seat, $12 - $15 million ‘Waterfront Performing Arts Centre’ (Our Town, Our Future, Appendix 2 – pages 7 & 13) with projected annual retail revenue of $3,825,000 based on 45,000 ticket sales per year, a full house every 2.4 days, 865 visitors per week, each spending $85 per visit (Appendix 2, page 10).

At the July 4 meeting we were told by council that this project has been abandoned, that it is no longer a performing arts center but a Cultural Center - and told by Mayor Ed Prévost that, “…we know where we are going; we know how to get there; all alternatives are off the table.”

But on August 10, the proposed Waterfront Performing Arts Centre was still prominent on the town website with the same revenue projections in place.

Repaving our crumbling roads (digging and paving 1) and improving the aqueduct and sewage network and burying Hydro lines (digging and paving 2) are also part of the plan. When residents questioned the wisdom and cost of digging and repaving twice, council reassured them that no money would be spent before the town had the money.

At recent council meetings, various residents have asked when the town’s 2015 audited financial statements would be made public. By law, they were due to be published by April 30, 2016. At the August 1 meeting, Councillor Ron

Goldenberg informed residents that the audited statements would not be available for a couple of months – hard to say when, exactly. When pressed, he refused to commit further.

Then council passed a motion for a 15-year/ $1.5 million loan by-law to repave a few roads, which Councillor Goldenberg admitted will, at most, last 10 years. When a resident stated that loan by-laws require a vote of approval by register/referendum, the council avoided any clear response.

Once again, town residents were denied disclosure by the team led by a mayor who was quoted in a pre-election interview published October 15, 2013 as follows: “Every move you make, every decision you make, you have to explain it, justify it. Everything has to be transparent.”

As concerned citizens who love their town and as taxpayers who are footing the bills, we hold Ed Prévost and his council to that commitment.

Sincerely, Richard and Robin Grinnell Graham Nesbitt Gary Stroud Rodney Birrell Hudson Dear Editor, It’s only been a few months but the changes at the St. Lazare and Hudson IGA stores are noticeable. Stock outs, rain checks not given, Air Miles hassles... and the reason is always “Sobeys’ rules.”

Under Mr. Poirier we always felt that we, the customer, were king.

Your wonderful staff are feeling it too.

So Mr. Poirier, though we know you have fully earned your retirement, please come back!

Building restrictions on Rigaud Mountain sparks discussion at council meeting James Armstrong Your Local Journal

Although not on the official agenda, protecting Rigaud Mountain was a hot topic of discussion during the Rigaud Town Council meeting Monday, August 8. Debra Witten is the owner of three building-lots designated as nonbuildable in the housing development on Cabot Street. She is also one of the 26 property owners affected by the March 2016 interim development plan put in place by the Town of Rigaud and the Municipalité Régionale de Comté de Vaudreuil-Soulanges (MRC-VS).

She questioned Mayor Hans Gruenwald Jr. regarding various activities that take place on the mountain from hunting with bows and arrows, the use of All

Terrain Vehicles (ATVs), snowmobiles, to gravel quarrying and how much longer they will be allowed to happen.

The mayor replied ATV and snowmobile use are going to be reviewed. The quarry, he said, has existed for many years and is allowed to continue its operation but no new quarries will be permitted.

Witten also raised the issue of treecutting along the hiking trail at the end of Cabot Street on Rigaud Mountain.

The trail is part of the official Rigaud trail system known as Les Sentiers de L’Escapade. “Perfectly healthy beech trees are being cut down,” said Witten. Gruenwald replied that a company had been hired to make the trail conform to the land survey and situate it within the boundaries of town

property. “The trail was fine the way it was before. All you’re doing is inviting ATVs and snowmobiles,” she said.

The mayor took exception to Witten’s response. “We have been maintaining and developing these trails for 25 years and now you start telling us how to do it?” he replied.

Gruenwald said a new company had been hired by the town to re-evaluate the non-buildable areas lot by lot to verify that no errors had been made.

“These things take time and they don’t

happen overnight. We are at the beginning of developing a plan to protect the mountain,” said the mayor. He invited Witten to meet with him at a convenient time and said he would do his best to provide the information she needed.

“I am angry that my land has been taken,” said Witten in an interview the following day. The lots in question are forested and are circled by a road and adjoining developed lots.

Thursday, August 11, 2016

pionship in Sherbrooke this past July, Thibodeau won the gold medal for Quebec in the Open Long Jump competition at the Espoir Eastern Canadian Championship August 7 in Moncton.

“It’s been a great summer, the best so far,” said Thibodeau.

Thanks to hard work and support from his mom Susan Corbett and trainer Bogdan Tarus, a three-time Olympian, the 19-year-old is currently ranked first in Canada in the junior level for long jump.

As a boy, Thibodeau played baseball and tennis, but discovered track at 10 years old, and it quickly became his favourite sport.

“My mom got me into track and field,” said Thibodeau, “otherwise I wouldn’t have even heard of track, because there are no track and field clubs where I live.”

His older brother was the first to try track at a club in Ville Saint-Laurent, a 40-minute drive away. “When he was training and competing I liked what he

was doing, so my mom also signed me up to join the club.”

Three years ago, Thibodeau decided to specialize in long jump and began training in Montreal at the sports complex Centre Claude-Robillard, where he met Tarus.

“He’s a very experienced athlete himself, having competed in the 1996, 2000 and 2004 Olympics,” said Thibodeau, “He knows what his athletes are experiencing because it is something that he has gone through himself.”

Coach Tarus praised Thibodeau’s diligence and passion for competition.

“To be number one, to be a high level athlete, you should be every time ready to fight, to work, to jump, to compete, and he is like that,” Tarus said. “He can be one of the best Canadian jumpers in about two to three years. If he keeps on this way, he will be one of the best. This is the goal we are working towards.”

For the past two years, Thibodeau has trained with Tarus and a small group of five other dedicated athletes five days a week for up to two hours a day during the track-and-field season.

During the off-season, he enjoys golfing with friends.

“I’m not very good, but it’s fun,” Thibodeau laughed.

Now that this season is done, Thibodeau has more than golfing to look forward to. Last summer, a scout from Princeton University recruited the John Abbot College student for their track team. He officially became a part of Princeton’s National Collegiate Athletic Association track team last October, but this fall will be his first year going through an NCAA competition circuit.

“I’m expecting it to be pretty big, lots of competitions,” said Thibodeau.

Although the level of competition will increase, Thibodeau feels ready, thanks to the preparation and advice he got from coach Tarus.

“He has a ton of experience with those high-level competitions.

Pincourt’s riverside promenade continues to rankle some residents John Jantak Your Local Journal

While the overall consensus among Pincourt residents has been positive regarding the recent conversion of Duhamel Road into a one-way northbound artery for vehicle traffic with the other half of the street set aside as a bicycle and pedestrian promenade, some residents still expressed their concerns about the transition during question period at the August 9 council meeting.

Resident Christopher Calabrese told council that the morning commute is not a problem because there are three roads in the area that lead traffic towards Highway 20 – Duhamel, Bellevue Street and Cardinal-Léger Boulevard.

But during the evening commute, Cardinal-Léger becomes heavily congested since it is the only street that accommodates two-way vehicle traffic because of the one-way northbound status that was recently accorded to Duhamel and a portion of Bellevue in front of Bellevue Park.

Calabrese suggested that the city should consider doing away with the bicycle path on Cardinal-Léger to allow for two lanes of vehicle traffic to ease the weekday afternoon congestion especially since there’s now a dedicated pedestrian-bicycle path on Duhamel and another new bicycle path on Bellevue alongside Bellevue Park.

Mayor Yvan Cardinal replied the town has no plans to scrap the bicycle path on Cardinal-Léger and that the one-year pilot project status that was given for the Duhamel riverside promenade was meant to gather as much input from citizens, whether positive or negative, to determine what modifications are necessary.

“We are giving citizens one year to tell us how they feel, whether good or bad, and we will take all the comments into consideration as we prepare to finalize the plans for the reconstruction of Duhamel next year,” said Cardinal.

“People can offer any suggestions to

improve our plans.”

Cardinal added that among the positive comments the town has received, many have come from parents with small children who are pleased their kids can walk and bike along the path without having to worry about cars.

The mayor also dismissed a request made by Calabrese that the town should hold a referendum on the issue, saying the consensus amongst all council members when the project was presented at a recent public information meeting was that the riverside promenade will be a permanent addition that will benefit all residents.

Infrastructure programs Council also announced a series of major infrastructure projects that are tentatively scheduled to begin next year as part of its ongoing capital works program to upgrade roadways and public buildings.

Some of the projects include the construction of a new chalet at Olympic Park, replacement of water mains and sewer pipes on 5th Avenue between Duhamel and Cardinal-Léger, and the redesign of Duhamel Road between Cardinal-Léger and Monseigneur-Langlois Avenue.

Town Manager Michel Perrier said

Despite some criticism, Pincourt Mayor Yvan Cardinal said that overall, most people are pleased with the conversion of Duhamel Road into a one-way northbound artery and the plans to build a permanent riverside promenade, especially the parents of small children.

the town decided to propose these projects for next year because of various financial subsidies that are available from both the federal and provincial governments.

THE SOAPBOX CARMEN MARIE FABIO

Accidental tourist My summer vacation began with a broken dishwasher and was followed by exploring regions of Afghanistan, India, Vietnam, China, Lebanon, and – briefly – Hawkesbury.

Unfortunately, not every excursion was in person but rather a culinary virtual voyage to dine on various ethnic cuisines as, with three boys whose collective growth spurts equate that of bamboo in a humid climate, it was all we could afford. Not to mention we had no interest in actually washing dirty dishes at home by hand.

Our annual summer pilgrimage to Chinatown for Dim Sum was punctuated with regular outings that included helpings of baba ganoush, tabbouleh, hummus, kebabs, butter chicken, naan bread, and steaming bowls of pho.

Budget vacations don’t have to be boring and the fact that we were able to save even more money by taking my publisher’s old dishwasher off his hands translated into at least one more restaurant meal.

“Did you tell her how loud it was?” his concerned wife asked as we showed up to load the appliance into the van.

“She’s got three boys,” he assured her.

After finding increasingly creative ways to load my dishes as the racks in my previous appliance slowly rusted internally and broke off, the new toy – with its deeper tub and stainless steel exterior – was an impressive addition to my kitchen.

The fact that the door, when opened, lay a few inches lower than the previous one’s shin-height to which we’d all become accustomed, earned it the nickname ‘The Ankle-Biter.’

On its inaugural run, we realized the warnings on the noise levels had not been an exaggeration.

“Easy there, big fella,” my husband said as we stood in the kitchen, shell-shocked, amidst the groans, shudders, screeches and odd thumps emanating from the belly of the beast.

“It sounds like it’s yelling at the dishes to get clean,” observed my middle son.

We’re slowly getting used to the new addition to the family and, with the exception of one Bermuda Triangle that seems to be present in every dishwasher we’ve ever owned where things just don’t get clean, we appreciate having an overall better machine with its intact racks.

I can’t say for sure whether it’s the chunk that the offending door tore from my ankle or possibly a deer fly bite is to blame but a subsequent trip to the lake to toss the tennis ball for my dog left my right ankle red and swollen.

Having three boys means I’ve spent a lot of time in emergency rooms so believing I was something of an expert, I merely slathered it with Polysporin and poured myself a glass of white wine.

Blissful ignorance, coupled with bad timing, finally led to the realization that the infection was migrating up my leg and likely wouldn’t wait much longer for legitimate medical treatment.

And so it was that the early morning hours of my wedding anniversary were spent in the emergency room of the Hawkesbury General Hospital getting a prescription of antibiotics for a nasty case of cellulitis while staving off a case of 3 a.m. hunger pangs.

And though my Hawkesbury dining experience was limited to part of a bag of almond Glossettes my husband purchased from the ER vending machine, it was - as the triage nurse pointed out - an anniversary dinner I’ll never forget.

Letters Continued from page 4 Dear Editor, The Town of Pincourt is to be commended for converting a portion of Duhamel Road to one-way to accommodate the new bicycle path and pedestrian walk-way. Significant safety signage is in place to warn motorists of the changes along the path including divots carved into the asphalt should a vehicle stray.

Unfortunately, motorists are not the only ones who need to be aware of the new road rules.

On a recent excursion on my bicycle, I encountered two cyclists who had stopped to talk, blocking both lanes in the process. This was soon followed by a woman walking in the right lane and her large leashed dog taking up the left lane. Both times I was able to navigate around the obstructions by driving my bike through the asphalt divots and re-entering the bike lane further up.

As I then came up behind a rollerblader who was taking up both lanes, I repeatedly called out – in both languages – “Watch out!” “Attention!” “On your left!” to no avail, as she was listening to music with ear buds. Unable to leave the bike lane due to an oncoming car, we collided as she swerved into the left lane as I tried to pass. Thankfully, there were no significant injuries to either of us.

I appreciate that the path is open for many non-motorized uses but a sensitization campaign is in order to remind path users that, just like cyclists, users should keep to the right, not block the lane, and keep at least one ear open.

C. J. Maxwell Notre Dame de l’Île Perrot Dear Editor, Thank you to everyone who participated in or volunteered their time to organize the 2016 Hudson Garden Club’s Flower Show Tchin! Tchin!

A special thank you to Denis Rozon and Fraser McBain for not only the use of their trucks – but for their man-

power in transporting our supplies.

The show was a great success even though our flowers had to contend with hot temperatures the week before the show, heavy rain and strong winds in the days before the show, and many participants without power – the show went on and everyone who attended enjoyed it.

The main exhibit was in the Community Center and the Hudson Legion was the location of our Tea Room.

Thank you to Hilary Sheldon and Jane Kirkwood and the team of volunteers who did such a wonderful job in the tea room.

The door prizes were donated by: Fraser McBain: Wood Wine Rack; Carambola: Gift Certificate; War Memorial Library: gardening books and membership; Brunet Pharmacy: Gift Basket; Façade Hudson: Tapestry Handbag and Gift Certificate; and from Centre Décor Hudson: a Gift Certificate.

Thank you to everyone, Kathy Conway Director Hudson Garden Club Flower Show 2016 Dear Editor, Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed the Hudson Music Festival again this year. We don’t spend much time away from Hudson but, during the festival week, we take time to enjoy many of the events – as well as the Hudson Street Fair and other local activities and this really has the effect of a blissful vacation.

Every year we discover even more fabulous talent from our area, as well as some choice imported acts, and we also dine out at participating restaurants.

We are SO grateful to all those responsible for making this happen.

We are also grateful for the fun friends who joined us throughout the festival and for the consistently good weather!

What a week – good for the soul!

Thanks!

Clinique de Denturologie

HÉBERT Article 5 : The surgical procedure Dentures on implants will require a multidisciplinary approach; it involves a plan of treatment, supervised by an oral surgeon or a dentist, combined with the work of a denturologist and a laboratory technician.

In fact, the procedure generally includes one surgery but may need a second intervention in special cases. The Ćrst one is to insert the implants inside the bones (which can then be described as the root of the implant). Subsequently, a healing period of at least three to six months is necessary to allow the integration of the implants. When there is no risk for the implants during the healing period, they are exposed out of the gum. If needed, a second surgery will be performed for implants left under the gums. From this moment on, we have to wait approximately one month to allow the junction epithelium, which surrounds the implants, to be adequately healed. Once the bone integration is completed, the manufacturing of the prosthesis can begin.

It should be noted that the patient does not leave without prosthesis during the healing period.

This step will only take a few days. The prosthesis will be adjusted consequently and the patient will then be able to wear them as if no surgical operation had taken place.

Usually, without any surprise, the patients’ Ćrst reaction when hearing the word ‘surgery’ is to instantly connect the procedure with the pain it can create. It is completely natural to think so. Nevertheless, it is in fact really minor and the patients’ usual comments after having done the procedure are positive, describing it more like a discomfort than actual pain. Some patients compared the sensation as less painful than having a small bottom tooth pulled out.

If you have any questions regarding implants or standard dentures, you can reach us at both clinics.

PARRYWINKLE JAMES PARRY ‘Tis good to be back, dear readers, after our three-week break here at YLJ. No, no, I’m serious. For to parryphrase that PHOTO BY old adage, all MAURICE JEFFERIES play and no work makes James a dull boy. I mean, how much rest and recreation without a care in the world can one take without having to worry about pressing deadlines, researching stories, taking pics, and trying to cover the myriad positive happenings in our fair burg?

Of which there have been quite a few since we last appeared in print.

Including the busy, bustling, two-day Hudson Street Fair plus the belated Canada Day fantastic fireworks display, the multi-faceted Hudson Music Festival that wrapped up on a happy note this past weekend, and Greenwood’s annual Traditional High Tea on Sunday, August 7. (See photos on our Facebook page).

--------------LIFE’S A BEACH - That being said, my beautiful Sunshine and I sure had a wonderful two-week vacation at our home-away-from-home in York, Maine, for the past 20 years at this time of year overlooking the spectacular and, with two tides a day, always pristine Long Beach between Portland just south of Perkin’s Cove. And a beautiful little town very similar to Hudson in so many respects with its gorgeous homes, magnificent gardens, mature trees, and a dwindling commercial base albeit by the sea. Same room, same favourite restaurants, same… Ah, what can I tell you? We’ve already booked for next year!

A little different this year, however, with the current unfavourable exchange rate, certainly saw less Canadian license plates in the parking lots at factory outlets and at beach-side parking meters than in previous years.

Although several hoteliers and guest house owners did tell me that a lot of regular visitors from here in Quebec have opted to still go but in the offseason when rates are obviously lower.

By which time, either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump will be ensconced in the White House for better or worse. Our visit coincided with both the Republican and Democratic Conventions and have to admit that late of an evening I would tune in to Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper along with their guest talking-heads - who have been wrong so far in their predictions - on CNN for the latest sensational scuttlebutt. Sheesh, sure makes our federal elections here in Canada look boring in comparison. Not that I’d change them for the world.

The lesser of two evils was the consensus of my own unofficial poll at both my regular early-morning coffee caucus at the Long Sands General Store, as well as way out at sea aboard the good ship Bunny Clark out of Perkin’s and again skippered by owner Tim Tower. Just as we were about to drop lines - as the only Canadian aboard together with my fishing buddy, frequent visitor to Hudson Luigi Cipriani, happened to ask the two American guys next to me, so what do you think of the upcoming election?

Next thing I knew there was a heated discussion going on between supporters of both candidates as well as undecided at the back of the boat while Luigi and I had more space to bait up and fish. Intentional? My lips are sealed. Suffice to say that we did catch several big 10-lb. pollock as well as numerous smaller haddock, all filleted and bagged for us before we disembarked eight hours later. Ah, you gotta love it!

--------------ADIEU ANNALISA - Saddened to learn upon our return, however, that Annalisa Carlsson - to my knowledge Hudson’s oldest resident but there again I could be wrong - passed away

Thursday, August 11, 2016

at the age of 101 and a half at her home on Ridge Road on July 14. Was hoping to write a story on her turning 100 years young but she didn’t want it.

Have to be honest, I did not know her that well. In fact the only times I do remember meeting her was on several occasions in the parking lot outside what was until recently IGA Poirier carrying a couple of shopping bags.

“Can I help you?” I would politely ask.

“No, I’m fine,” she would reply with a look that left nothing to interpretation.

This week, to learn more about this truly remarkable but very low-profile lady, I spoke to her daughter, Kristina Anter, who for many years has lived in the Santa Ynez Valley of Santa Barbara County in California and who will be here for the next little while doing what a family member has to do under such circumstances.

Was fascinated to learn that Annalisa was born in the small village of Hjältevad in Sweden on November 28, 1914. That she arrived in Canada from England in the fall of 1983 after her husband, Neil Gordan Maclean a civil structural engineer, unexpectedly passed away after somewhat routine surgery earlier that year. And that at one time she was studying to become a Home Economics school teacher and had started her training when she was struck with tuberculosis, and spent the following three years in a sanitarium recovering against all odds.

Said Kristina, “When we decided to move to California, my mother had no plans to follow us. She was so happy in Hudson. She was a companion to the late John McDowell until his unexpected death. And although not personally involved in Hudson’s social and volunteer life, as so many others are, she always enjoyed the trips put on by the Hudson Senior Travel Club, the exercise classes at St. James’ Church, and the Hudson Garden Club plant sales.”

Added Kristina, “As for her hobbies, her garden was her joy in life.

Never one to sit still for very long she could be found even late in life with a blower or spade in her hand. She loved the house I found for her in Hudson.

And she spent a great deal of her earlier Saturdays at Finnigan’s Market, using her treasures to decorate her new home. In her married years, she was also a great cook. And together my parents often would have lovely elegant dinner parties at their home.

“Always perfectly dressed whenever she went out, my mother was always walking to the village and in the early years she would also walk home.

She had a great love of clothes and had the figure to wear them well. And if she had a secret to a life long-lived, it would be to always look forward.

Do not dwell on the past. Stay active in your physical being while eating natural unprocessed foods in moderation. As well as plenty of local McCaig honey!”

--------------KUDOS TO CAREGIVERS - In later years and thanks to dedicated caregivers, Kristina says she was pleased to keep her mom at home as she wished it to be. “In the earlier years, Judy Le

Bel would pick her up and take her twice a week to her exercise class at St. James’. As time went by, it was for trips in the car to look at the Lake of Two Mountains that reminded her of her home on the lake in Sweden, and to listen to the car radio and classical music that she loved.

“Over the years, there were a number of caregivers. But to name some of them I think of are Helen Oldfield, Marie Louise Anderson who was also born in Sweden, Dilys White who managed to deal with my feisty mother and also get her to eat well and who this year made her garden bloom again.

Added Kristina, “On behalf of the family, I would also like to thank Anne Van de Walde for her six years of continued unwavering dedication, care, and affection for my feisty and strongwilled mother. Without Anne, and her assistant Cathy Dery, I would have found the last few years of my mother’s life almost impossible to manage from so far away in California. And to have kept my mother’s wishes honoured to the end.”

She also extended a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Ronald Hryniowski of the Hudson Medi-Centre for his monthly home visits and his “ability to avoid flying fists on occasion.” To the BMO on Cameron for their kind staff who always took care of her. And to NOVA Hudson for the many helpful wheelchairs and such that they provided, as well as their foot clinic.

While no formal Hudson Life Celebration is planned, Kristina tells me that next summer, the California members of her family will travel to Sweden and place their mother along the shoreline of the lake she grew up beside with a gathering of all her many relations still in Sweden in attendance.

And that’s a wrap!

‘Age is just a number’ says pageant winner Stephanie O’Hanley Special Contributor

PHOTO COURTESY RENUKA CHANA

Vaudreuil-Dorion resident Renuka Chana smiles after being declared 1st Runner-Up in Mrs. South Asia Canada 2016 in Toronto and also taking second prize in the same competition for Mrs. Bollywood Diva 2016.

Until last year Renuka Chana had never considered entering a pageant.

But on July 23 the Vaudreuil-Dorion resident was declared 1st Runner-Up at the Mrs. South Asia Canada 2016 pageant after taking the second prize in the Mrs. Bollywood Diva 2016 contest the previous day.

Her husband discovered the pageant on Facebook and encouraged her to try. “I had done a little bit of modeling a year ago for some fashion show,” said Chana. “So we filled out the application and sent the pictures and all the requirements and I got a confirmation that I was selected as a participant.”

Officially the contest is open to married women ages 25-60, who are at least one-fourth South Asian and who claim ancestry from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. But a woman of any age may participate, Saravpreet Minhas, CEO of Torontobased Ragaa Models and Talent Agency, organizer of Mrs. South Asia Canada, told Your Local Journal.

Minhas said since its start in 2011, the pageant has grown every year and he plans to expand it to Montreal, Vancouver and Winnipeg, “so women in other provinces can participate.”

To prepare for the pageant, participants spent a week in Toronto attend-

ing workshops on everything from modeling to teamwork. “Every day there was a workshop for three-to-four hours with one of the Bollywood fashion directors - grooming and preparing all the rounds and all the different acts and the Bollywood dance,” Chana said.

She said interacting with people from different nationalities and regions within South Asian countries was a great experience.

The workshops were followed by sub-contests and a pageant awards show at the Rose Theatre in Bramp-

ton, Ontario. A sub-contest held a day before the big awards show included a Bollywood dancing contest, Chana said. She placed in the top five in an audition and won second prize in the dancing component.

The pageant involved five different rounds, with five different outfits. Of 19 married women “they were supposed to select only the top 10, I guess based on their personality, their looks, their confidence, their nature, everything was part of that selection,” she said.

Chana, who arrived in Canada almost 19 years ago, said her children are proud of her. “They were just overwhelmed with the joy and the happiness seeing their mom, being on the stage and being so confident with the

questions and the answers.

“I really worked hard the whole year round to look good by working out five days a week, eating well,” she said. “It was not just I filled out the application and I made it to the first runner-up.

“For me it was kind of a dream come true because I’m 45 and at this age to achieve something like that it does make a huge difference in your life,” Chana said. “I would like to tell other women, you know what, do not look at your age. Age is just a number. Believe in yourself. You want to achieve something, work hard on it and you can fulfill your desires.”

During a brief break in final rehearsals for Noel Coward’s hilarious romp, Private Lives, opening August 11 and running through August 28, Your Local Journal popped by Hudson Village Theatre to turn the spotlight on some of the ‘stars’ who work so hard behind the scenes rarely to have their photographs printed in the media.

As for the three-act play itself first staged in 1930, the sparkling, quicktempo dialogue and deliciously wicked barbs haven’t lost their punch 80 plus years later, though gender politics may have changed somewhat. To drive home that point, as well as add another comedic layer to the already razor-sharp humour, director Matthew Tiffin, HVT’s Artistic Director, puts a 21st century spin on the master wit’s 20th century comedic jewel by reversing the sex of all of the actors’ roles.

Says Tiffin, “Private Lives is a classic - Noel Coward’s crowning achievement - a masterpiece of style and wit.

The battle of the sexes is always fun theatrical fodder and by reversing the

Comptoir St-Denis Inc. – Over 30 years in business and still growing!

Jules-Pierre Malartre Special contributor

When Comptoir St-Denis opened in 1986, the building located at 2480 Henry-Ford in Vaudreuil-Dorion felt very spacious. Having changed locations in order to automate much of their production, they now also had the distinct marketing advantage of providing their sales people with an over 1000 sq. ft. showroom. On display were granite countertops, sinks and other kitchen-surface products produced on-site in their very own factory. This new marketing concept was so successful that the company outgrew the space. In late February of 2015, Comptoir St-Denis added a second showroom to the business; over 2000 sq. ft. located at 1250A Ch. Herron in Dorval close to Highway 20.

This new location has allowed the company to be more accessible to designers, cabinet producers and residents of Montreal and beyond.

“Previously our customer base consisted largely of people living in the Vaudreuil-Soulanges area” says owner Jacques St-Denis. “We want-

ed to be able to serve clients all over Montreal, and Dorval is a central location”. The company offers personalized services to their clients, and strides to ensure quality work. The business is constantly trying to bring in new products and different style choices. They try to stay up to date with new technologies in order to improve the quality of the products and to accelerate the production delays. Expert sales people are on hand at both locations ensuring that any questions or concerns a customer might have can be addressed accurately.

Visit Comptoir St-Denis at either location and see firsthand a selection of granite, quartz and Corian samples, all displayed in well-lit sample settings decorated in current color schemes making it easier for clients to envision their completed kitchen.

For more information about Comptoir St-Denis Inc., please call the store at (450) 455-1120 (VaudreuilDorion) or 514-538-7117 (Dorval), or please visit their website at www.comptoirst-denis.com.

Making dental appointments enjoyable Jules-Pierre Malartre Special contributor

When it comes to oral health, we often dread our next visit to the dentist,

but this doesn’t have to be. One visit to the clinic in Hudson will not only dispel any fear you might have about going to the dentist, but it will also make you see why Drs. Littner and Baker have been the family dentists of choice in the area for over four decades. “It’s come to the point where we are now seeing the great-grandchildren of some of the patients,” Dr. Littner says with a laugh.

Oral health means more than just having an attractive smile. You and your children deserve dentistry professionals who feel a profound commitment for the well-being of their community and patients. Drs. Littner and Baker pride themselves on making the patients come first. “It’s a family practice. The most important thing that we do is address the needs of the patients, and not the needs of the dentist,” Dr. Littner says.

The focus is on understanding their patients’ needs. Their friendly staff will take care of you in a relaxed atmosphere where you will feel at ease and without being rushed through your treatment. “It’s not about the speed of things, it’s about doing it properly,” Dr. Littner adds. “There are lots of people who can do things faster than we can, but speed is not our criterion. Our criterion is quality.” Time efficiency is not a factor here. Proper health services are never compromised by packing too many patients into the daily schedule.

Experience and the latest technolo-

One of Champlain’s most scenic roads leads to home.

gies and practices combine to offer patients the best cutting-edge treatments: four decades of experience, digital radiographs, lasers, computerized anaesthetics delivery technologies and friendly staff all contribute to offering the best dental services in the area.

Patients have been entrusting their dental care for decades to Drs. Littner and Baker for a reason. “There are just so many people who come here and who are comfortable and happy.

They don’t feel any stress because of the atmosphere of the office. They all love the music we play. They like the machine I use that delivers anaesthetics so that they don’t even know about the needle,” Dr. Littner adds. “Patients refer other people here who were not comfortable at another clinic. We have customers who have been coming here for 30 years who say that we never hurt them, and that they never felt uncomfortable,” Dr. Littner says proudly.

Drs. Littner and Baker welcome new patients. They are available five days and three evenings a week to treat all your dental needs. They are also available seven days a week in case of an emergency. The clinic is located at 472 Main Road, Suite I, in Hudson. You can reach Drs. Littner and Baker by phone at (450) 458-5334. You can also visit the clinic’s website at www.littnerbaker.com to find out more information about the services it provides.

She doesn’t understand why they have been designated as non-buildable and says she has had little success in getting answers from the MRC-VS or the town regarding the criteria used to make the designation.

Forest fire on Rigaud Mountain A forest fire was reported on Rigaud Mountain Friday, August 5, approximately one kilometer east of the cross on private property. Director General Chantal Lemieux reported that the fire was extinguished with the combined efforts of the Rigaud fire department and the Québec Société de protection de forêts contre le feu (SOPFEU). The fire was in an area difficult to access and destroyed about 43,000 square feet of forest. The likely cause of the blaze was a poorly extinguished campfire contained in a circle of rocks. The fire spread through the forest floor to a depth of six feet consuming tree roots making control more difficult.

Construction contract for new town hall Council granted the construction contract for the new town hall to Construction Cogela Inc. with a price tag of $4,220,364.

“There will be an official sod-turning ceremony very soon,” said Gruenwald.

Meanwhile, the construction of the fire hall moves forward as planned with the foundations now in place.

The replacement of the culvert on chemin Saint-Georges that washed out during a spring rainstorm awaits approval from the Québec government.

“We had planned to do the work during the month of August before school buses began,” said Gruenwald. “That may not happen.” Repairs to the bridge over the Rigaud River on Saint John Baptiste Street East have also been delayed with no indication of a new start date.

In other business, council approved a time change for regular monthly council meetings. As of September 2016, Rigaud Town Council meetings will begin at 7 p.m. instead of 7:30 p.m.

In Memoriam

Arthur Leonard Mayhew July 7, 1936 – July 26, 2016 Art passed away July 26, 2016, at the age of 80 years.

He died at home in the arms of his beloved wife, Anita, after having lived bravely with cancer for 7 months. A native of Lachine, he attended McGill University. He met Anita in the Canadian Air Forces in 1958.

For decades, he worked as an executive in the rubber industry in Canada and the USA and retired to Hudson, where he was known for his generosity, his love of golf and his forward thinking. He will be remembered lovingly by his wife of 57 years, Anita Mayhew (nee Craig), and daughters (Janet, Maureen, Monique and Lisa) and their families which include 5 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild.

A celebration of Art’s life was held August 9 at Whitlock Golf & Country Club.

Donations in memory of Art may be made to NOVA Hudson (#202-465 Main Road, Hudson, PQ), who helped his family provide him a peaceful end of life.

HUDSON The first annual charity golf tournament for the benefit of Le Pont Bridging Food Bank will be held on August 27, 3 p.m., at the Como Golf Club.

Everyone is asked to bring five non-perishable food items for the food bank. Any business wishing to donate to the event can contact Board of Directors member Dr. Nurhan Ecityan at (514) 5135751. Le Pont Bridging was started in 1996 by Carol Laws when a local Hudson family’s father lost his job and needed help to feed his family of five over a 6-week period. Since there wasn’t a local area food bank at

that time, Carol helped out and thus created Le Pont Bridging food bank.

Le Pont bridging is now a registered Canadian charitable organization, and last year made 354 deliveries to feed 733 people.

The English Gardener Spotlight on Sunflowers James Parry Your Local Journal

Regular readers of this column may remember that a few months ago PHOTO BY GREG JONES I mentioned that one of my bucket list flowers that I planned on planting this year was the tall, glorious, and stately sunflower. Having tried occasionally over the years with miserable success.

Sad to report nothing new. Sure, I followed the instructions on the seed packet - not really rocket science they sprouted a few inches tall and then simply disappeared. Never to return.

A hungry critter or bleedin’ bug eating them, perhaps? Not enough water? Not enough sun? Not the right soil mix? Who knows?

So why am I mentioning this?

Because this past week I received a question from fellow gardener, Abbie Bennett, who just happens to be 30

YOUR LOCAL JOURNAL

one of our super sales representatives here at Your Local Journal.

Explained Abbie, “I planted sunflower seeds and am blessed that they have grown. Some as much as 6-feet tall. However, many of the leaves are being eaten. Possibly by what look like ants that seem to be all over them.

Is there anything, perhaps a home remedy, that would help to eliminate this problem?”

Well, Abbie, if it’s not too late perhaps there is a possible solution that I may recommend. With the caveat that, according to the sunflower experts who grow them as a commercial crop, there are no less than 30 diseases that may attack them. All caused by various fungi, bacteria and viruses.

Now, not having seen your plants, I’m not sure if they are really ants attacking yours. Highly unlikely as while they love climbing peonies and, in fact, are essential to their buds opening as they gobble up the sugar, I’ve never heard of this happening before. However, they could well be aphids which can suck the very life

out of a plant, including sunflowers.

Whenever my flowers are under attack by aphids, I always try to find some Ladybirds elsewhere in the garden and sic them on the pesky little mites. It really is like feeding time at the zoo! And once they have gorged on every aphid in sight they will fly off for another feast somewhere else.

Another method I’ve tried with great success is gently handwashing them with a small amount of soft liquid detergent dispersed in a bucket of water. Takes time, but is effective.

Some say you can also add a dash of baking soda into the mix which is also great for tackling powdery mil-

dew and blight that is hitting so many perennials at this time of year. This creates an alkaline environment on the leaves preventing mildew - which is a fungus - from colonizing them as they need a neutral pH balance to survive and thrive.

Hope this helps somewhat Abbie. And I’m sorry that I do not have a foolproof solution to propose. But hey, that’s gardening for you. And every year is different!

Until next time have fun in your garden. And watch out for those skeeters!
