Multiple pipe connections hamper water leak shut-off effort in St. Lazare John Jantak Your Local Journal
A broken water pipe from a property on Rue Gosselin that has been spewing water onto the side of the street for several weeks sƟll is not repaired because phone calls informing the owner of the situaƟon have apparently been ignored, according to St. Lazare municipal oĸcials. “The town can’t stop the leak because it’s on private property,” said Mayor Robert Grimaudo during a telephone interview October 10. “The guy is not talking to us. He’s not answering our calls and for some reason he’s ignoring the whole situaƟon,” he said. Nearby resident Susan Clarke advised Your Local Journal about the problem last week. Clarke who lives across the street said she repeatedly called the town to advise them about the leak but said the town sƟll hasn’t done anything to stop it. MulƟple connecƟons The problem is apparently because the pipe that is leaking is also connected to some adjacent houses. If the town cut oī the water to the aīected property, the neighbouring properƟes would have no water also because there are no individual shut-oī valves, said Clarke. The leaking water has been pooling at the entrance to some driveways ever since the water pipe broke, Clarke said. The ground has become so saturated that the rst 10 feet of a cedar hedge on the property next to the leak has died. She’s also upset about the amount of water that has been wasted. “It’s spilling thousands of gallons of water a day,” said Clarke. “If I put my sprinkler out on a non-assigned day, public security would be here in a ash to ne us for wasƟng water. Why is the town allowing this to happen? This is not a good thing.” Homeowner permission needed “The problem is we can’t do anything unƟl we get permission to go onto his property to x the leak. He hasn’t given us permission yet, but at some point
we’re going to have to deal with it. Water is being wasted and that’s a really terrible thing. Our infrastructure department is really on this and they’re dealing with it,” said Grimaudo. “These are private pipes that cross property lines to connect to the main pipe at one homeowner’s residence,” said Ghislain Castonguay, project manager for the town’s infrastructure division. “We’re usually not aware of these connecƟons. We don’t know where they go or how they were made. Now that the pipes are 40 years old, they’re starting to break.” Didn’t know about connecƟons A major leak also occurred in late July at Clarke’s house when a pipe broke and ooded her backyard and seeped into her neighbours’ yards. When she called the town to report the leak, Clarke was surprised to learn they couldn’t stop the water because the neighbouring three houses were connected to her water line. “If the town shut down our water, the three other houses would also have had no water. We were told that everyone should have their own shut oī valve. If they did, the town could turn oī the leak,” said Clarke. The owners of all the aīected houses had their houses connected to the town’s main water line and shut-oī valves installed. Clarke said she didn’t know about the connecƟons when she bought the house last year and the previous owner never menƟoned it. “Everyone thought they had their own water line,” she said. Reimbursement rejected Clarke also recently learned the town refused to reimburse them for the $2,000 they spent to have their shut-oī valve and water pipe connected to the main water line because their request wasn’t submiƩed within the 15 day deadline aŌer the connecƟon was completed in early September, even though the valve is on town property. Clarke’s husband Ben Pawnall said the town should be more understanding. “The town is responsible for their

property, which is the rst 10 feet. With the millions of dollars they spent on the town hall and with the money they spend on FesƟval au Galop every year, the town should at least repair their porƟon of the pipes,” said Pawnall. Castonguay said the town is doing what it can to let residents know about
the situaƟon. “It’s sad they didn’t know and the previous owner didn’t tell her about it. We don’t have all the informaƟon from the Ɵme the houses were built to provide to the ciƟzens,” he said. Castonguay added other residents in the area are also probably connected to someone else’s water pipe.

Oil and water In a glass half-empty/half-full scenario, many have opinions that the demise of the Energy East Pipeline project will have protracted eīects on our region – whether posiƟve or negaƟve all depends on how the prism of percepƟon is Ɵlted. The ensuing job losses that the nger-waggers are bemoaning were reportedly not as numerous as iniƟally promised and, once the oil would have been owing, would essenƟally dry up. The strictest measures of safety and security ensured by both the oil transport companies and by the Canadian Energy Pipeline AssociaƟon did liƩle to persuade elected oĸcials and grassroots movements that the product – and the project – was viable. In the absence of shared security informaƟon on emergency response measures and a cohesive plan on how to protect the source of drinking water for so many in our region and beyond, the abandonment of the project is a posiƟve rather than a setback. But perhaps, most importantly, the demise of Energy East has nudged the gear of the alternaƟve energy movement another cog forward. Volvo has already commiƩed to making all its vehicles electric or hybrid by the year 2019 and while gasoline will likely be part of the environmental landscape for years to come, for the rst Ɵme, we’re seeing the tangible possibility of the majority of our vehicles being low emission or emission free. The demise of the pipeline may be the closing of one door but the subsequent draŌ is forcing open another.

Hudson resident Brian Gallagher got up close and personal during a Thanksgiving excursion on the way to Ontario. Do you have a photo taken in the VaudreuilSoulanges 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 showcase them all on our website at www. yourlocaljournal.ca/ photo-of-the-week.
Dear Editor: editor@yourlocaljournal.ca EvoluƟon of St. Lazare Dear Editor, St. Lazare had a populaƟon of less than 2500 when I moved here more than 35 years ago; when town councillors only had to worry about nding enough farmers with tractors and ploughs for snow clearing the roads, discussing whether to install a stop sign at a juncƟon, giving out the occasional building permit, and making sure the builder put in their own well and sepƟc system. There were no tree-cuƫng restricƟons because people who moved to St. Lazare wanted trees around them. Everyone knew nearly everyone, there were no real estate developers, and tradespeople were hired by reputaƟon or word of mouth. Deliveries of building materials were leŌ on your property and were sƟll there unƟl you wanted to use them. Christmas was a community aīair for the children, and our councillors were friends and recognizable neighbours who were accessible socially or in the stores to answer our quesƟons. Sadly, these days are long gone and St. Lazare has changed into a large ‘dormitory community’ where many people work in Montreal and return to St. Lazare for sleep, rest, relaxaƟon and services. A populaƟon of nearly 20,000 people with mulƟple housing developments, traĸc problems, water problems, sewage problems etc. and of course ever increasing taxes. Today with a municipal budget of more than $28 million, a town councillor’s job is more like being a director of a large ‘socialized’ business, where experƟse, understanding of community aīairs, nancial knowledge and experience are essenƟal. Gone are the days when the mayor was a local farmer, and councillors were local tradespeople who determined the direcƟon of a small populaƟon in a community hardly known to Montrealers, and too far out of Montreal to be of interest to anyone other than a few people seeking peace, quiet, country living and low taxes. We are now in the run-up to the 2017 municipal elecƟon with the jostling of candidates to be one of six councillors or the mayor, so remember St. Lazare is no longer a small town West of Montreal. It is a large developed town in need of a direcƟon determined by residents not administrators, maybe more trees, cleaner water, maybe lower taxes and beƩer services. Hopefully more people will get out and vote, as too many residents are fed up with taxes going up every year, services going down, and taxpayers’ wishes being ignored. Alan Nicol - St. Lazare
Get out and vote Dear Editor, The reason most people move to St. Lazare is lower taxes, bigger homes, and open green spaces but with extravagant municipal spending, high density development and repeated tax increases, the reasons for coming here are all going away. The current administraƟon does not understand their own ciƟzens because they are not listening to them. Remember 914 votes against Dune Lake, then 483 signatures (in one day) against the new town hall, all ignored, as the administraƟon did what they wanted, without consideraƟon of what ‘the people wanted.’ Taxes will increase again in 2018 when our $11.1 million new town hall starts being paid for but the present administraƟon has more extravagant projects already in planning which will raise taxes much higher, while even now some people are already concerned about being able to aīord to live in St. Lazare anymore. Hopefully the town’s extravagant spending will be stopped with a new administraƟon and we will not see row, on row, on row of ‘For Sale’ signs on homes in St. Lazare, when residents can no longer aīord to pay St. Lazare taxes, to pay for other people’s ambiƟous dreams and other people’s visions of what they think St. Lazare should be. Please get out and vote November 5. Your community needs your input. Liz Rozon - St. Lazare What’s in a name? Dear Editor, The popularity of the use of the descripƟve term ‘Hudsonites’ sounds pretenƟous and presumpƟve to me. I have lived in Hudson all my long life... it would never occur to me to describe myself as a ‘Hudsonite.’ This term is mostly used by newcomers (all people who have come to live here relaƟvely recently.) We don’t hear people who live in Vaudreuil, St. Lazare or Rigaud, for instance, calling themselves Vaudreuilites, Rigaudites, or St. Lazareites. Coteau-dulacites,or Île-Cadieuxites, or anywhere else-ites. What does it all mean? Is it presumed that we are somehow beƩer than anyone else? Naomi Henshaw - Hudson
Prévost Continued from page 1 Council reacƟon “Back to proud, that is the path that Ed Prévost insisted we follow on as a council and community,” said District 6 Councillor Natalie Best. “Ed was completely commiƩed to Hudson and last week he lamented, as he oŌen did, that his body was keeping him from being as involved as he longed to be. “He was a man of integrity. He will be greatly missed by his family and many friends. I was blessed to rst know him as a compeƟƟve tennis player, neighbour, followed by becoming a friend and mentor.”
He was a good man who absolutely loved Hudson and wanted to do good things for the town, he stayed true to himself and remained steadfast and digni ed when faced with adversity. - District 3 Councillor Nicole Durand.
Elected on his rst foray into municipal poliƟcs, Prévost was known for his no-nonsense communicaƟon style and his determinaƟon to bring a semblance of normality to Hudson poliƟcs, parƟcularly following the tumultuous legal proceedings against former Director General Louise Léger-Villandré for misappropriaƟon of municipal funds. “He was a good man who absolutely loved Hudson and wanted to do good things for the town,” said District 3 Councillor Nicole Durand. “He stayed true to himself and remained steadfast and digni ed when faced with adversity.” Background He came into municipal poliƟcs after a long and varied business career beginning as account execuƟve before moving on to upper management posiƟons. His educaƟon at the InsƟtute of Canadian AdverƟsing led to management posiƟons in Quebec radio from 1969 to 1973. AŌer compleƟng
his MBA at the University of Western Ontario he served as Chairman of the Canadian AssociaƟon of Broadcasters and Chairman of Tele lm Canada in the 1970s and 1980s respecƟvely. He served on many boards of directors including a sƟnt as President and CEO of O’Keefe Breweries in Montreal, Chairman of the Quebec Brewers AssociaƟon in the late 1980s, and Director of Sleeman Breweries between 1999 and 2007. Entry into municipal poliƟcs Prévost won his seat in a 75 per cent victory over challenger Jacques Bourgeois. He took oĸce immediately aŌer Interim Mayor Diane Piacente who had replaced former Mayor Michael EllioƩ following his resignaƟon for health reasons in July, 2013. “I was very sad to hear about the passing of Mayor Ed Prévost,” said Piacente. “Although I may not have always agreed with his poliƟcs, he had my respect for taking on a tough job aŌer a very tumultuous Ɵme in Hudson’s history. Had his health issues not become so serious, I am quite con dent that he could have moved forward with many more items on his agenda.” At the Ɵme of his bid for mayor, Prévost’s campaign plaƞorm stated, “If Hudson was progressing and humming in the right direcƟon with responsible, accountable, and a transparent administraƟon, I would not be running. The town direly needs to be xed now! (sic). It may be its last chance.” Challenges Besides the nancial troubles leŌ in the wake of Léger-Villandré, Prévost faced numerous challenges including the draining of Pine Lake following the breach of the dam, the sƟll-ongoing road condiƟon issues in the town, and the wrongful dismissal suit launched against him by former Director General Catherine Haulard. This led to a number of appearances before the Commission Municipale du Québec (CMQ) in which he faced 151 allegaƟons of municipal impropriety brought against him by District 1 Councillor Rob Spencer with legal representaƟon by Hudson resident Véronique Fischer.

Hudson Town Council approves loan for new well James Armstrong Your Local Journal
Hudson town council approved a $1.4 million loan by-law at a special meeƟng held Wednesday, October 4, to pay for the drilling of a new well to improve the potable water supply to the town.

Local reaction to demise of Energy East pipeline project
PHOTO COURTESY KATHERINE MASSAM
CiƟzen acƟon groups including Citoyens au Courant and Coule Pas Chez Nous have been vocal opponents of the now cancelled Energy East Pipeline project that would have passed through our region.
Carmen Marie Fabio editor@yourlocaljournal.ca
While the news that the TransCanada (TC) Energy East Pipeline project has been halted was welcomed by many in the Municipalité régionale de comté Vaudreuil-Soulanges (MRC-VS) region, Prefect Jean Lalonde issued a communi-
qué reminding residents that quesƟons remain unanswered for the exisƟng pipelines that traverse our towns. “(We) sƟll require answers from the federal government to ensure the protecƟon of our territory and its ciƟzens,” read the statement in part. The Energy East project, proposed in 2013 when oil prices were signi cantly
higher, would have transported about 1 million barrels of oil daily through 4500 kilometres of pipeline desƟned for re neries in Quebec and the MariƟmes. Unpopular project with ciƟzens and elected oĸcals Besides protests from ciƟzen-based grassroots groups of property and homeowners like Citoyens au Courant (CaC), Coule pas Chez Nous, and Équiterre, the project was dealt an addiƟonal blow in June 2016 when the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal (CMM) draŌed a resoluƟon requiring a feasibility study. When Energy East led its applicaƟon in 2015 to carry out seismic tesƟng to acquire technical data in preparaƟon for establishing a plan to cross the OƩawa River at Pointe-Fortune, they couldn’t conƟnue without permits from the MRC-VS which had adopted a resoluƟon to not grant any further permits unƟl a detailed river-crossing plan was submitted. The only reference to the planned crossing in the proposal was a blank ‘placeholder’ page leading to the MRC’s objecƟons that it was not something to be submiƩed aŌer the fact. The move came following repeated aƩempts by the MRC-VS to secure speci c emergency measures informaƟon from all the companies who have in-

stalled or operate pipelines in our region – reportedly more than any other in Quebec. Safety informaƟon needed “Yes, we’re very happy about the Energy East outcome,” said MRC-VS CommunicaƟons Director Simon Richard. “It’s good news because the project was really badly put together.” However, as Richard pointed out, we sƟll have oil pipelines from Enbridge, Trans Northern and the Gazoduc TQM and TransCanada natural gas lines. “For us, the debate is not nished. We need to know Enbridge’s emergency measures plan to ensure the security of our potable water supply.” In a fortuitous circumstance, Richard said it was the failure of Energy East to provide criƟcal planning informaƟon that highlighted the communicaƟon shortcomings of the other oil and gas carrier companies operaƟng in the region which, in turn, forced the federal government to pressure them to conform to operaƟonal standards. “The NaƟonal Energy Board has to conƟnue its modernizaƟon measures,” said Richard of the expert panel that convened in May and released their ndings and recommendaƟons. Response from Peter SchieŅe In a wriƩen response to the MRC-VS’ concerns, Vaudreuil-Soulanges Liberal MP Peter SchieŅe stated, “… nding soluƟons to these issues was, and will conƟnue to be, a priority for me and for our Government.

St. Lazare mayoral candidate Jolicoeur proposes two-year tax freeze John Jantak Your Local Journal
Councillor Lise Jolicoeur, who recently said she will run for Mayor of St. Lazare, would not raise residenƟal tax rates for two years and curb what she feels has been extravagant spending on infrastructure projects, if elected. Jolicouer felt it’s important residents get a break from the substanƟal annual residenƟal property tax increases in the past four years, she told Your Local Journal during an interview on October 9 as she outlined her campaign plaƞorm. It’s crucial for the town to adopt sensible strategies to beƩer manage taxpayers’ money and listen to what residents have to say about how their money is being used, she said. “It’s the people who are paying the taxes and they are ones who should be telling council what they want and don’t want,” said Jolicoeur. New Town Hall The recently opened new town hall is one example how council could have
reduced the overall cost of the project by agreeing to build a smaller structure which would have also reduced the nancial impact on taxpayers. “St. Lazare has 20,000 residents, no industry and a very small commercial base, why should residents have to pay $11 million for a town hall? I just don’t get it. People understood we needed to have a new town hall, but they didn’t approve of the money that was spent,” said Jolicoeur. As a comparison, Jolicoeur said the new three-storey Municipalité Régionale de Comté (MRC) de Vaudreuil-Soulanges headquarters in on Harwood Boulevard in Vaudreuil-Dorion was built for about $6 million to serve the 140,000 residents that live in the 23 municipaliƟes of our region. “I also agree we needed a new building but I didn’t agree with the money that was spent,” said Jolicoeur. “I speci cally asked the mayor (Robert Grimaudo), the council and the director general to reduce the amount. It was too much
and people didn’t want that.” FesƟval au Galop The annual FesƟval au Galop which has been held in early summer for the past three years is another unnecessary expenditure that will be disconƟnued if she is elected, said Jolicoeur. Since its incepƟon, many residents have regularly complained to council they don’t want to pay for the fesƟval through their taxes. The town spent an esƟmated $1.1 million including salaries to stage the event in 2015. “It costs a lot of money. In the rst year (District 2 Councillor) Pamela Tremblay said it would become self- nancing, but it’s far from there. It cost $385,000 this year and this doesn’t include the salaries of our municipal employees who are there before, during and aŌer the event,” said Jolicoeur. She feels a smaller event that includes local small businesses and arƟ-

Well, Thanksgiving was certainly unforgiving this past long weekend. A real turkey. Weatherwise, that is. BuckeƟng down, power outages, delayed dinners and, to top it all oī, a few ooded basements throughout town. Ah, waddya gonna do? Give thanks for family and friends and celebrate, that’s what. And there sure was a lot of that going on in HudPHOTO BY MAURICE JEFFERIES son this past week with several fellow Libras celebraƟng not just Thanksgiving but also their birthdays in ne style! Just some that I learned of were Father Roland Demers of St. Thomas Aquinas Church, Marie-Therese Sorensen, Terry Hasenhundl, Maxine Bredt (now 98), and my favourite buƩon accordionist in the whole wide world, long-Ɵme Manoir Cavagnal resident Doris Blaise, who has just turned 99 years young celebraƟng with her family, friends, Veterans, and fellow musicians, The G-Strings, at The Manoir this past Monday evening. --------------LEGACY OF REMEMBRANCE - Speaking of Veterans, there is a very special show coming to Hudson that is simply unique and a must-see regardless of one’s age. It is called Jake’s GiŌ and is a phenomenon that has toured across Canada and internaƟonally for many years, winning hearts and minds everywhere it goes including Washington State, Tiverton and Birmingham in England, and to Normandy, France, for the 70th Anniversary of D-Day earlier this year, where its star, Anglophone Julia Mackey, actually performed the enƟre play in French in a venue right on Juno Beach! In essence, it is a Ɵmeless and surprisingly funny, and deeply moving mulƟ-award winning drama about a Canadian World War II Veteran’s reluctant return to Normandy to nd the grave of the brother who never came home. While revisiƟng the shores of Juno Beach, Jake - played by Julia - encounters Isabelle - also played by Julia - a precocious 10-year-old from the local village. Her inquisiƟve nature and charm challenge the old soldier to confront long-ignored ghosts. Most noƟceably the warƟme death of his eldest brother, Chester, a once-promising young musician. But at its heart, Jake’s GiŌ is about the legacy of remembrance and makes personal the story behind one soldier’s grave. --------------WELCOME BACK JULIA - If this all sounds familiar, then it could well be that you caught the Juno ProducƟons play at Hudson Village Theatre back in September, 2015. It was a sold-out smash hit and promises to be the same again on the same stage when it hits town for three performances November 3 and 4. Recently, I caught up by e-mail with Julia and her hubby Dirk Van Stralen, who is also director and stage manager. They are now in their 10th season of touring Jake’s GiŌ and were nishing their last week of shows in Prince George, B.C. before heading to Saskatoon for a two-week run there. Said Julia, “We are so much looking forward to returning to Hudson and geƫng reacquainted with the Veterans and friends we met there a couple of years ago. It is such a beauƟful liƩle town and we were made to feel so welcome.” The feeling is mutual Julia and we look forward to welcoming you both back! ReservaƟons, and Ɵckets - with a special price for Veterans - are selling out fast, so call the HVT Box Oĸce at (450) 458-5361 or go to hvtbox@videotron.ca. Believe me, it is a producƟon you will remember all your life! --------------FOR FILM FANS - SƟll on the entertainment scene, this Saturday, October 14, at the same venue at 2 p.m., the Hudson Film Society is showing Show Boat on screen. Not the 1950s movie but an actual stage producƟon lmed live. A few seats at $15 a pop are sƟll available at the door on Saturday. Then on Monday, October 16, as part of their Monday at the Movies series they will be screening the Oscar-winning lm Moonlight at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. See you there?

The Hudson Chamber Music Series’ 35th season kicks oī on October 15 at 4pm in the St. James Church Hall at 642 Main Road in Hudson. The Trio Beau Soir will be performing works by Schumann, Berlioz, Fauré and Debussy. The Trio consists of Isabelle ForƟer (harp), Jean-François Gagné (countertenor and viola), and Marie-Violaine Ponte ( ute). Isabelle ForƟer graduated from the Conservatoire de Musique de Québec in 1996. She has toured with numerous orchestras in Canada, Japan, the United States and Europe. Isabelle was appointed Principal harpist of the Orchestre Symphonique de Québec in 2004, and she conƟnues to perform as a soloist with major North American orchestras. Jean-François Gagné is a talented violinist and arranger as well as a singer and violist. He obtained a posiƟon with the Orchestre Symphonique de Québec at the age of 23, and has regularly performed with the Violons du Roy and various chamber ensembles including the Abyss Quartet, with whom he recorded two albums for the ProducƟons XXI label. Mari-Violaine Ponte has been a member of the Quebec Symphony Orchestra since 2001, and currently performs as second ute as well as piccolo. She has a bachelor’s degree in performance from McGill University and went on to study ute with Carolyn ChrisƟe at the Conservatoire de Musique de Montréal and piccolo with Virginia Spicer. She has taught at the CAMMAC Centre at MacDonald Lake at the Music Preparatory School at the Faculté de Musique at Université Laval. The Trio’s unusual combinaƟon of instruments means that they draw on the talents of Jean-François as an arranger to perform works from the RomanƟc and Modern periods. The October concert will feature selecƟons from works by Schumann, Berlioz, Fauré and Debussy. Robert Schumann will be represented on the programme by his Kinderszenen (originally for piano) and his Dichterliebe song cycle. Both are among his bestloved works. Kinderszenen was composed in 1838 and as such is the earliest work chronologically on the programme.
Farewell
Continued from page 5 The accusaƟons alleged Prévost had breached the Code of Ethics and Conduct of Elected Oĸcials. As reported in Your Local Journal in October, 2016, Prévost was found not guilty of any wrongdoing but leŌ what he described as emoƟonal scars, parƟcularly for his family members. The nal bill for the tribunal exceeded $100,000. Health issues He iniƟally took a leave from his poliƟcal duƟes in March, 2016 and returned four months later with sporadic absences to tend to health.

(LeŌ to right): Isabelle ForƟer (harp), MarieViolaine Ponte ( ute) and Jean-François Gagné (countertenor and viola) comprise the Trio Beau Soir.
The Dichterliebe songs are part of the core of the art song repertoire. The trio will perform two extracts from Hector Berlioz’ song cycle Les Nuits d’été, composed in 1841. These songs are about the progress of love from youthful innocence to loss and renewal, and are most oŌen performed in the concert hall with orchestral accompaniment. Gabriel Fauré was a proli c composer of songs and is considered a master of the French art song. Ravel wrote that he had saved French music from the dominance of the German Lied. Three of his most beloved songs are on the programme. The concert concludes with works by Claude Debussy: his famous piano piece La lle aux cheveux de lin and his PeƟte Suite, originally for piano four hands and transcribed many Ɵmes, including a wellknown orchestral version. This is a concert that is sure to please lovers of familiar RomanƟc songs presented in an innovaƟve way. St. James Church Hall is an ideal setƟng for chamber music, with its wonderful acousƟcs and an unparalleled view of the Lake of Two Mountains. Individual Ɵckets will be available at a cost of $25 for adults and $20 for seniors. Season Ɵckets for the four-concert season will also be on sale at a substanƟal saving: $70 for adults and $55 for seniors. For more informaƟon, including more detailed bios of the members of the Trio Beau Soir and a link to their web site, and informaƟon on the rest of the 35th season, see the Hudson Chamber Music’s site at www.hudsonchambermusic.ca/.
“It’s a shame,” said EllioƩ. “I didn’t really know the man personally but he certainly had a diĸcult row to hoe. And many people do not realize just how stressful being a mayor can be and the toll it can take on one’s health and personal life.” In a statement released October 11 by the Town of Hudson, Prévost is described as a reƟred CEO and entrepreneur who specialized in Strategic Planning. Prévost leaves four children, 12 grandchildren, and his wife Sandra Johnson. “He wanted to do so much, feeling that Hudson had nally turned a page,” Piacente said. “Unfortunately, his health didn’t allow for that and may he rest in peace.”

Pincourt Mayor Yvan Cardinal wins third term by acclamation John Jantak Your Local Journal
Yvan Cardinal is ready to begin his third consecuƟve term as Pincourt mayor aŌer he was elected by acclamaƟon last Friday, October 6. The mayor said he was prepared to campaign for re-elecƟon and had billboards and placards already set up to

promote his candidacy. The billboards will stay up unƟl the end of the elecƟon period and will be aĸxed with ‘MerciThank You’ sƟckers. “To win by acclamaƟon means the ciƟzens support me. If they didn’t, I would have had an opponent,” he said. Fiscal management Cardinal said the biggest challenge council faced when he was rst elected
Thursday, October 12, 2017
in 2009 was to rein in annual property tax increases due to various outstanding infrastructure loan by-laws. As the loans expired, the town was able to beƩer manage the approval of new loan by-laws which helped to stabilize the tax rate and reduce annual increases to a more sustainable level. “When we get a surplus in certain year, we won’t use it right away. We keep it as a reserve to help parƟally nance other major projects when they become due. We also know in which year all our loan by-laws nish which helps us to beƩer plan for future upgrades,” said Cardinal. Emergency management The town also tries to keep costs down by preparing for emergency situaƟons due to unforeseen circumstances ahead of Ɵme. The town uses the services of two water management companies to detect leaks in its underground water pipe and sewage systems. When a leak is found, it is reported and repaired immediately which Cardinal saves the town signi cant money if a major break were to happen from an undetected leak. Another example was the unprecedented ood crisis in early May that hit several municipaliƟes within the Municipalité Régionale de Comté (MRC) de Vaudreuil-Soulanges. Cardinal said the town already planned and rehearsed for an emergency situaƟon which helped to minimize the eīect of shoreline ooding when the OƩawa River over owed onto some private residenƟal properƟes this year “It’s beƩer to spend one dollar in prevenƟon than to spend ve dollars aŌer an emergency happens,” said Cardinal. “As a town, we have a good team of councillors and administrators who do their best to help minimize the cost of the services we provide.” Keeping taxes stable Pincourt is commiƩed to keeping

tax rates stable for its ciƟzens but says it will depend on how much money the town will have to pay for its share of regional services provided by the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) police force and public transit system in upcoming years. Cardinal said both the SQ and the private security rm it uses provide excellent service. He reiterated that ciƟzens have to report incidents of vandalism, road infracƟons or other incidents directly to the SQ or the town so they can be properly invesƟgated. With the recent transiƟon of the CIT La Presqu’Île transit service to the Réseau de transport métropolitain (RTM), Cardinal said it will be up to the RTM to design and manage bus routes, and determine how much municipaliƟes that use the service will have to contribute to the new administraƟon. Social development policy The town is working to expand its social development policy to provide a wider range of indoor and outdoor acƟviƟes throughout the year. Several commiƩees have been established including the Comité AcƟon Jeunesse, Comité Ville en santé and an intercultural commiƩee to promote a large number of events aimed at all age levels A new indoor playground for youngsters is scheduled to open later this fall in the Faubourg de L’Île shopping mall because of this policy. “Pincourt is now on the map. People are pleased with the many acƟviƟes we oīer,” said Cardinal.

L’Île-Perrot Mayor ready for a sixth term Jules-Pierre Malartre Special contributor
The incumbent mayor of L’Île-Perrot Marc Roy is seeking re-elecƟon during the 2017 municipal elecƟons, potenƟally making this a sixth term for Roy who moved to L’Île-Perrot in 1983. “I came here originally only for three years,” Roy says. “We made groups of friends. We joined the community. I got involved in hockey for my kids. That’s how it started.” Roy never leŌ. He enjoys living in

L’Île-Perrot with his wife of 37 years and their two children. “I’ve been here for 34 years. In the same house.” Roy recently reƟred aŌer a 39-year banking career to devote his Ɵme fully to his mayoral duƟes and community acƟviƟes. The revitalizaƟon of L’Île-Perrot and scal containment were two of Roy’s main projects over his ve terms. “The two go hand in hand,” Roy says. “When I was rst elected, it had been eight or nine years since the last new house had been built. Selling a house took two or three years.” Since then, both the residenƟal and commercial real estate have boomed on L’Île-Perrot.
We made groups of friends. We joined the community. I got involved in hockey for my kids. That’s how it started. - Mayor of L’Île-Perrot Marc Roy
Roy is proud of several of the iniƟaƟves he parƟcipated in or managed over the years as mayor. He created the Mayor FoundaƟon which helped raise over $250,000 for local youth organizaƟons. The development of green and recreaƟonal areas, the modernizaƟon of the water puri caƟon plant, the construcƟon of the public library and the
Thursday, October 12, 2017
creaƟon of a rst response team are some of the other projects Roy spearheaded. Roy also played a key role in seƫng up a viable public transportaƟon system in the area. He also sits on the board of directors of the foundaƟon of the Vaudreuil-Soulanges PalliaƟve Care Residence, and he serves as Deputy Prefect of the Vaudreuil-Soulanges MRC. Roy looks forward to consolidaƟng the city’s public nances. A healthy management of public nances, the improvement of the quality of life for all residents and roadworks improvements are at the top of his list. Roy is very well aware of traĸc congesƟon in the morning and evening. “The city was designed 150 years ago. The roads are not made to be doubled, but I’d like to build an exit lane at the intersecƟon of Boulevard Perrot and Grand Boulevard to bypass the traĸc light.” The other big project on his plate is the construcƟon of an indoor pool in collaboraƟon with NotreDame-de-l’Île-Perrot (NDIP) and Régie des équipements de loisir de l’Île Perrot (RELIP). Roy also wants to improve access to aquaƟc recreaƟonal acƟviƟes. “I want to have a park in the area close to the water treatment plan. I’d like to build an access ramp for boats and a pedestrian path around the bay area.” Roy also looks forward to his conƟnued nancial

One of Roy’s favourite local causes is the Club des dîneurs of École François-Perrot, which provides free breakfasts, snacks and lunches to children who oŌen go to school without having had breakfast or a packed lunch. “This is close to my heart. I can’t conceive of a child going to school on an empty stomach in 2017.”
30 Minute Hit takes aim at women’s cancer research 30 Minute Hit Vaudreuil-Dorion is a ladies-only tness center dedicated to integraƟng a 30-minute high intensity acƟon packed kickboxing circuit into women’s busy lives. The program promises to provide a quick and convenient workout to t into the lives of women, regardless of age or lifestyle. It is fast
paced, challenging and empowering, and this one of a kind workout appeals to all levels of tness. The circuit delivers the ulƟmate total body workout with excepƟonal results for women while in a friendly non-inƟmidaƟng environment. The 30 Minute Hit Vaudreuil-Dorion
is operated by co-owners, Jad El Houssami and Loujain Layous, and their team of trainers. The gym’s goal is to posiƟvely aīect the lives of women in Vaudreuil by creaƟng a community in which they can socialize, workout and relieve stress. At 30 Minute Hit, ladies are not only joining a gym, they are joining a family. During the month of October, all the 30 Minute Hit franchises parƟcipate in a massive fundraising event in support of women’s cancer research, and this year, Vaudreuil-Dorion is joining the ght. Over the past two weeks, the gym has been working with the women in Vaudreuil-Dorion by organizing events, raŋes, and acƟviƟes for the enƟre fam-

Education Evergreen Elementary’s 25th Birthday Bash features reveal of first students’ time capsule Stephanie O’Hanley Special contributor
As St. Lazare’s Evergreen Elementary marks its 25th birthday, it’s inviƟng former Evergreeners to a Birthday Bash that includes a reveal of the contents of
EC D programs
a Ɵme capsule the school’s very rst students buried 25 years ago. “On October 27, we’re having a Wine and Cheese for former staī, students, alumni, secretaries, Home & School, and everyone who’s been connected to the Evergreen community over the years,”
explained Evergreen Elementary School Principal Peggy Grant. “We want to celebrate the school and the people who have been a part of it,” Grant said. “This is a big deal to us, the staī and the students. We’re going to be opening our Ɵme capsule, which was put in 25 years ago.” Martha Wickware, who’s heading up the iniƟaƟve, headed the Home & School when her children aƩended Evergreen and worked as the school’s secretary “for a couple of years,” Grant said. Wickware worked with current and past Home & School members, along with a commiƩee of current teachers, to plan the special evening. “There’s really a buzz going around the community for (the Ɵme capsule),” Grant said. Its locaƟon? “We have a good feeling about that,” she joked. “We preƩy much know where it is. We’re going to be opening it up on the 27th at 3 o’clock and we’ve invited the staī who were there when it was put into place to come back. We’re going to do a liƩle video of that and then share that with the stu-
dents and reveal everything on the 27th. We’re going to put it out at the Wine and Cheese.” Are the contents a mystery? “They were actually very good when they put this Ɵme capsule together,” Grant said. “They gave us a liƩle mini capsule to open and in that they told us what was in there so we knew which technology we needed to set up.” Besides birthday cake on the 25th of every month “with a 25 on it” the school does something in honour of Evergreen’s 25th birthday, Grant said. “Last month in September on our 25th we did a food fundraiser for Le Pont/Bridging foodbank, which is a community partner we’ve supported for several years, since they’ve been in existence actually.” In June students will put in another Ɵme capsule for the next 25 years and “they’re pumped” about geƫng to be there for the school’s 50th anniversary, she said. “I’ll come in with my walker.” Classes will decide what they want to put into the Ɵme capsule as a group.

Continued from page 16 “We’re asking that they all put something in that re ects what life is like today so that in 25 years people will have a good idea of what it was like to be a student,” Grant said. ”What things were cool, what did they enjoy, a liƩle taste of what life is like right now in 2017-2018.” As the school heads into the Ōh year of its iPad program, “we’re going to for sure put in an iPad, seal it up Ɵght with obviously the adaptors and all those things so that we can save video and some of the technology that we have here today,” she said. “That’s going to
be a lot easier for us with USB sƟcks because we can get a lot more informaƟon in a small space. It was a liƩle bit harder for them 25 years ago. From what I understand we have some VHS tapes in there and some old casseƩes.” Evergreen’s 25th anniversary Birthday Bash takes place at the school on October 27, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. To RSVP or for more informaƟon, visit hƩps://www.evergreen-homeandschool.ca/25th-anniversary where you’ll nd plenty of cute pictures posted by former students and staī.

Illuminating your child’s potential English, French, Spanish
Grateful for great recycled Gladioli James Parry Your Local Journal
Following up on last week’s column which focused on whacking down perennials, I thought we might PHOTO BY GREG JONES dig a liƩle deeper this week with regards to cleaning up the garden to beƩer prepare it before winter comes. More speci cally, bulbs, corms, tubers and rhizomes which have been owering this summer and which, with a liƩle TLC, can bloom again next year. Saving you money while giving you the saƟsfacƟon that comes from a challenge well met. I’m thinking Gladioli, Dahlias, Canna Lilies, and Tuberous Begonias, all of which you can now dig up for storage unƟl next spring when they can be safely transplanted. Regardless of the actual ower, the procedure for all is basically the same but let’s look at Gladioli in parƟcular as I have just inherited about 50 of them from a fellow gardener as a birthday giŌ with the proviso that I dug them up myself. First of all, take a garden fork and gently loosen the earth around the plant

making sure that you don’t touch the corm. Pull it out by its dried leaves and shake it gently to remove any loose dirt. If it isn’t going to rain for the next couple of days just leave them on top of the soil to dry out before transferring them to a cardboard box and placing it in a warm dry place with good air circulaƟon for a week or two. The next step is to separate the parts of the corm aŌer they are completely dry. Gladioli form a new corm on top of last year’s old one which you can now throw away. You may also see some small white corms growing on the boƩom which you can grow into full-sized plants in a couple of years.

Pipeline Continued from page 8 I also reassured (Lalonde) that I would pass along the feedback I have received to the appropriate oĸces so they are beƩer informed as to the frustraƟons and concerns expressed by those in our community, with the end goal being to recƟfy the challenges that are sƟll present.” SchieŅe also said in June 2016, new regulaƟons came into force requiring all owners of major pipelines to be prepared to pay $1 billion in nancial assistance in the event of any emergencies. “These also allow the NaƟonal Energy Board (NEB) to order reimbursement and to take over incident response if need be.” TaxaƟon issues The MRC-VS also takes issue with inequiƟes in pipeline taxaƟon, noƟng pipelines devalue over their lifespan while real estate gains in value, leading to decreasing property revenues for the municipaliƟes. AŌer 40 years in the ground, a pipeline has liƩle to no value resulƟng in a lower taxaƟon rate. “When a pipeline passes under the ground,” said Richard, “there are consequences.” Certain construcƟon projects, including commercial operaƟons, can no longer be carried out leading to a ‘net terrain loss.’ Further discussions “Now that Energy East has biƩen the dust, we’re hoping the aƩenƟon
will return to Enbridge to provide the necessary (safety and emergency response) informaƟon,” said CaC spokesperson Katherine Massam. She said the CaC will conƟnue to support other groups in solidarity along the Saint-Lawrence River and Gaspésie against fracking operaƟons. Richard also credits the collecƟve David versus Goliath movement of the grassroots groups, agricultural workers, and the immense public pressure that would not allow the project to proceed without quesƟoning each proposiƟon and holding it up to environmental and economic scruƟny. “The debate is not over,” said Richard, “but the situaƟon is beƩer than it was.” Upcoming informaƟon sessions An English presentaƟon on pipeline projects in our area will be given by Steven Guilbeault of Équiterre at Hudson’s Wyman United Church, 513 Main Road, Monday, October 16 at 7 p.m. A French presentaƟon by Guy Coderre on the result of a potenƟal oil spill in the OƩawa River will take place Monday, October 30, at Centre naƟonal de formaƟon en traitement de l’eau, 400 St. Charles Avenue in Vaudreuil-Dorion at 7 p.m. English quesƟons will be answered. “We strongly encourage candidates for the municipal elecƟons to aƩend,” said Massam. “If there is an oil spill, it’s going to be them answering the quesƟons.”

Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars Genre: Military Sci-Fi Rated: R Parental Guidance: Heavy graphic violence, disturbing images, language, not recommended for young children Playing: In your living room (DVD, Blu-ray and 4K releases; also streaming on iTunes and other services) Good military sci- movies are rare. In fact, military sci- – good or bad – is simply scarce. An argument could be made that Star Wars and Star Trek have elements of military sci- , but the last, full-blown entry of note into that genre that I can remember is 2014’s Edge of Tomorrow starring Tom Cruise. The original Starship Troopers released in 1997 remains the most venerated military sci- movie for two reasons: it is based on Robert Heinlein’s seminal book that de ned the genre, and was directed by Paul Verhoeven, a director oŌen copied but never equaled. Given the success of the rst Starship Troopers movie, it was inevitably going to be turned into a franchise. Unfortunately, all the sequels that followed paled in comparison with the original. The move to an animated format starƟng with the fourth movie, Starship Troopers: Invasion, was a good one for the franchise. Invasion was an improvement over the past two sequels (Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the FederaƟon and Starship Troopers 3: Marauder). This year’s Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars is a welcome surprise; so far, it is the release that is closest to the spirit of the original movie. The story picks up decades aŌer the original story with the interstellar war against the bugs sƟll raging. Some of the original characters are back, including Johnny Rico and Dizzy Flores, who are voiced by the original actors, Casper Van Dien and Dina Meyer, respecƟvely. Except for an exclusive one-night engagement in some theatres, the movie was released straight to DVD. Back in the day, movies released in this manner were thought to be sƟnkers that could not hope to break even on the big screen. While that can sƟll be the case, some straightto-DVD movies are real gems. While Traitor of Mars does not innovate, it does surprise. It packs a wallop and viewers will feel like they were dropped into a rst-person-shooter game on the PS4. For the die-hard Starship Troopers fans, the movie will be a breath of fresh air. The movie was directed by animaƟon juggernaut Shinji Aramaki whose Appleseed movies helped de ne and set the standard for military sci- animaƟon over the past decades. Aramaki certainly knows how to put together an animated acƟon movie. The animaƟon is state-of-theart. The acƟon sequences, whether in deep space or on the ground, are oŌen jaw-dropping. The quality of the animaƟon is on par with what was seen in 2013’s Harlock: Space Pirate, but most assuredly on a fracƟon of the budget that Harlock had, which is impressive. Facial expression is where the animaƟon fails, however. There is an obvious aƩempt to make the characters look more human, but it doesn’t work; it looks arƟ cial and forced. I don’t know if moƟon capture was used for close-up facial shots, but if it was, something went wrong with the rendering. Story-wise, Traitor of Mars is a strong improvement over previous Starship Troopers sequels. Scriptwriter Edward Neumeier, who also worked on the previous sequels, made an eīort here that surpasses his previous aƩempts at recapturing the glory of the original movie. Character development is seriously lacking, though. The secondary characters are for the most part one-dimensional grunts. Their banter and pseudo-military talk fail to sound convincing, which makes it even harder to relate to animated characters. The movie is available to purchase on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K, and it is available through streaming services, including iTunes. If you own a 4K television and player, and you’re a fan of such military acƟon movies, it’s worth invesƟng into the 4K release of the IMAGE COPYRIGHT SONY PICTURES movie.
