Cicilia Laurent, 120-year-old Haitian woman in
Laval, Que., could be world’s oldest person alive
Guinness officials are in Haiti
to verify if the 120-year-old is
new record-holder
Could the oldest person alive be a Haitian woman from Laval, Que?
Officials from Guinness World Records are in Haiti to determine if
Cicilia Laurent, who celebrated her 120th birthday Sunday evening, is
the new record-holder, Montreal’s Haitian Consulate said.
She could claim the title from 116-year-old Susannah Mushatt Jones
of Brooklyn, N.Y., who was given it last year.
Laurent would also only be two years shy of the all-time recordholder, Jeanne Louise Calment, the French woman who died at age
122 in 1997.
For Montreal’s Haitian community, Laurent is bigger than royalty, in
quite a literal sense because Queen Elizabeth is actually 30 years her
junior. In fact, Canada’s sovereign has sent Laurent a birthday greeting in
the past.
Laurent moved here from Haiti in 2010 after the devastating earthquake that killed more than 100,000 people.
In downtown Montreal, at the Haitian Consulate, many generations
gathered to celebrate her life on the weekend.
“It can’t be easy to live all the way up to 120,” said 12-year-old Jason
Merjuste.
Such longevity isn’t easy, but her family said a few things help.
Laurent constantly prays and enjoys watching cartoons on TV. She
never turns the news on because that stresses her out.
“She likes everybody, and she likes to laugh and to have fun with
everybody,” said her granddaughter-in-law, Marie-Lorna Pierre.
Laurent doesn’t eat junk food anymore. Her diet is all natural,
consisting of chicken, bananas, juice and mashed corn.
She wouldn’t even eat her birthday cake.
Her birthday wish? To meet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and ask
him a special favour: Allow her two great-grandsons in Haiti to visit her
in Canada so she can see them again.
The response so far from the Prime Minister’s Office is a congratulatory
letter on the way.

City council gets rowdy over ethics and Khalil
Opposition wants Sainte-Dorothée councillor’s resignation
Mayor accuses opposition of defamation and slander
(TLN) Laval city council’s monthly meeting on February 2 became a “tennis match”
between the mayor and members of the
opposition.
The reason was persistent demands by
opposition members that Sainte-Dorothée
city councillor Ray Khalil resign after newspapers and television newscasts reported that
back in June 2013 police found contraband
tobacco and firearms at the residence of his
father, George Khalil.
Opposition councillors Michel Trottier and
Alain Lecompte demanded Khalil’s resignation since he is the manager of his father’s
restaurant, Lordia.
The mayor repeatedly reassured them
that Khalil, from the moment he was elected
Saint-Dorothée’s city councillor, has had no
relations or interests in the Lordia restaurant.
“I was for 30 years in the police force and
I learned that before accusing anyone there
should be an inquiry,” said Mayor Marc
Demers. “If someone is going to enquire on
the subject it will be the ethics officer of the
City, but it is not ethical to accuse someone
purely on allegations,” he added with an angry
tone.
Ray Khalil: I have nothing to do
with the restaurant any more
It was inevitable for Ray Khalil to address
the council. In a short speech he explained
that he has no shares in the Lordia restaurant
and he withdrew from the restaurant long
ago. Sometimes, though, he goes to give them
a hand when it is really busy, he added.
du Sablon community centre. The question
came from Sainte-Dorothée citizen Josée
Gauthier. Gauthier informed the council
and the citizens present that since 2011 the
Centre du Sablon has been waiting for funding to do major renovations.
“In September 2014 we were promised
by the sitting mayor a renovation budget of
one million dollars but nothing (has been
seen) yet,” she said. According to Gauthier,
the money is badly needed since the swimming pool facility is in a terrible state. She
said the lockers are also broken, the showers
don’t work, and with those that work the
water temperature is not stable, but on the
contrary is extremely hot. “Imagine little children using the showers what could happen to
them,” she said. On top of that the dryers do
not work plus there is a problem of insulation
and heating in the rooms used by the Jardins
Opposition councillor Alain Lecompte
demanded Khalil’s resignation.
des enfants, she continued.
“I understand your concerns,” responded
the mayor. “There was a legal problem that
delayed the transfer of funds. It had to do with
the 100-year so-called lease of the centre. I
assure you that very soon it will be resolved
and the appropriate funds will be transferred
for the renovations to take place in 2016.”
Laval to Dorval Airport
Chomedey councillor and official opposition leader Aglaia Revelakis presented a
motion for the Laval transport authority to
implement a direct transport service – shuttle
– from the city to the Dorval airport. “This
will help many citizens in their travel plans,”
she said. Unfortunately since there was no
one to second the motion – even among the
independent opposition councillors – the
motion was dropped.
Khalil: “I am neither an administrator or a
manager of the restaurant.”
Sablon in bad shape
Demers: “You can not ask a resination
just on allegations.”
Among the various questions coming from
citizens, one had to do with the deterioration of the infrastructures of the Centre
Josée Gauthier: “Centre du Sablon has
been waiting for funding to do major
renovations.”
Mayor Demers pleased with new provincial cabinet
(TLN) Laval mayor Marc Demers has
reacted favorably to Quebec Premier Philippe
Couillard’s recent shuffle of his cabinet.
Demers had special praise for the choice of
Martin Coiteux as the new Municipal Affairs
Minister.
Municipal Affairs
“Mr. Coiteux will be for us a reliable partner who is dependable and conscientious to
put forward the cities’ dossiers, especially as
regards municipal autonomy,” said Demers.
“As regards our city, it is with confidence
that I welcome this nomination and I know
that we will be able to speak openly about
our dossiers.”
The appointment of Jacques Daoust as
Transport Minister elicited the mayor to
comment: “The arrival of Mr. Daoust will
allow us to discuss with him our willingness
to electrify transportation as well as our
desire to develop active transport in Laval.”
Anglade appointment
Demers said he was also pleased with
the appointment of Dominique Anglade as
Minister of Economy, Science and Innovation
as well as Digital Strategy. “We worked with
Mrs. Anglade at Montreal International
where she demonstrated qualities of leadership and of vision,” he said. “We know that
we will find in her a minister who listens
and who is in tune with the direction Laval
took recently with regard to economic
development.”
Charbonneau appointment
Finally, Demers said he was pleased to
see that Mille-Îles Liberal MNA Francine
Charbonneau was given responsibility for
senior citizens as well as oversight for the
Laval region. “As the third most important
in Quebec, we will be able to pursue our
discussions which are already started on
Laval’s priority dossiers which she knows
well,” Demers said.

Opinion & Editorial
QESBA should beware of Moreau as
new Education Minister
Although the Quebec English School
Boards Association says it is pleased with
the nomination of Pierre Moreau as the
province’s new Minister of Education,
the QESBA’s members have either short
memories or they don’t follow municipal
affairs news very closely.
Either way the QESBA doesn’t appear to
grasp the implication of Moreau’s appointment, taking into account at least some of
his past municipal affairs record which
included intolerance and a tendency to be
heavy-handed and authoritarian.
In a statement the QESBA issued last
week on the same day Premier Philippe
Couillard announced his new cabinet, the
school boards association said it has always
tried, in good faith, to maintain a positive
relationship with successive Ministers of
Education.
“We hope that today’s nomination
will bring a new openness and a healthy
dialogue among all partners in education
for the ultimate benefit of our students and
community,” the QESBA said. “We are confi-
dent that the Minister will quickly call for a
meeting of the Table Québec-Commissions
scolaires in order to gain a proper perspective of our public school systems and on the
English minority community.”
Putting aside the fact the education
portfolio has been in the hands of several
ministers since the Couillard government
came to power nearly two years ago, let’s
take a look back a little more than a year
ago to December 2014 when Moreau was a
few months into his mandate at Municipal.
Around that time, Moreau got into a
fairly strident public confrontation with
Laval mayor Marc Demers. This was after
Demers claimed that a 3.2 per cent overall
tax hike projected for his city’s taxpayers in
2015 was largely the result of Quebec’s new
“fiscal pact” which summarily terminated
$15 million in annual transfer payments
to Laval.
While the mayors of most of Quebec’s
municipalities chose to be discreet about
the situation, Demers had the temerity to
actually link the tax increase in his city to
the provincial government’s “austerity”
program. It was a criticism that Moreau,
looming high over the towns and cities,
wouldn’t stand for and which ought to stand
out as a distinct sign of his potential for
being unconciliatory.
At one point, in an effort fairly obviously
meant to humiliate Demers as well as the
mayor of Longueuil who shared the Laval
mayor’s views, Moreau threatened to
withhold transfers owed by Quebec to the
two cities if they didn’t roll back their tax
increases. Then, in a manipulative gesture
playing on the average taxpayer’s natural
inclinations, Moreau threatened that the
provincial government itself would mail
refunds to taxpayers and send Laval the
bill afterwards.
Since downloading expenses onto school
boards and municipalities is a tactic the
municipal affairs and education ministries
are both well versed in, it’s rather surprising
that the QESBA would see anything positive
in Moreau’s appointment – although the
association’s stance is perhaps understand-
‘A hockey rink is not a law-free zone’
A decision by a Quebec Superior Court
Judge to award $8 million in damages to a
21-year-old man paralyzed five years ago
following a brutal and sneaky on-ice body
check sends a chilling message into Canada’s
hockey community: your future could be
nipped in the bud financially should you
wilfully inflict injury on someone – even
while playing hockey.
In his ruling, Judge Daniel W. Payette
essentially dismissed a line of reasoning
promoted by the NHL and other apologists for hockey violence, that the onus of
responsibility is such matters is primarily
upon players who must protect themselves.
“A participant in a sporting activity is
entitled to the expectation that other players
will take reasonable steps to avoid gestures
that are likely to cause prejudice, even within
the framework of a dangerous sport,” Justice
Payette wrote in his judgment issued on
Feb. 1 regarding the incident dating back
to October 2010.
In itself, the judgement constitutes a
condemnation not only of the acts of an
individual, but of an entire system upholding
how hockey is played in Canada. Ironically,
the player, Ludovic Gauvreau-Beaupré,
who was ordered, along with his insurer, to
pay the staggering amount, went on after

the incident to play in the Quebec Major
Junior Hockey League. He currently plays
at a semi-professional level where brawling
is a common occurrence.
Gauvreau-Beaupré had been playing for
the Royal de Montréal against the Patriotes
de Laval in 2010. The injured player, Andrew
Zaccardo who suffered a serious spinal injury
and paralysis of the legs with partial paralysis above the waist, was an up-and-coming
player who had led his team the year before
in scoring.
The hit was something that happened
quickly: although it was only seconds into
the first period when tempers should have
been cool, Zaccardo made a sudden stop
at the sideboards and Gauvreau-Beaupré
slammed into the physically smaller player
with obvious full force.
Two years before the 2010 incident,
Zaccardo had also been involved in a similar
collision for which he was suspended for
two games. It’s worth noting that the judge
ruled legally on an issue that Hockey Quebec
and Hockey Canada have been unable to
resolve within the sport, although they’ve
tried for years.
Gauvreau-Beaupré, 21, is currently listed
on the 2015-16 roster of the Prédateurs
de Laval, who play in the Ligue Nord-

Américaine de Hockey. The LNAH is
described by an online encyclopedia as a
“low level” league “not known for its skill
level. Its teams employ many enforcers
and has a rather infamous reputation for
on-ice antics, primarily fisticuffs. The LNAH
has the unofficial reputation as the world’s
toughest hockey league.”
The $8 million award is believed to be
the largest in Canadian sports history, with
two previous decisions in British Columbia
resulting in awards of $4 million each. All the
same, Hockey Canada and Hockey Quebec,
which had previously been named as co-defendants in this latest case, were absolved by
the judge who said they had taken measures
to educate players about the dangers of rear
body checking.
But as Judge Payette also stated in this
case, “a hockey rink is not a law-free zone.”
Therefore, it might be in the best interests
of the overseers of the sport in this country
and province to adopt a more pro-active
approach to the problem before it’s too late,
lest they find themselves forced to pay a
multi-million dollar judgment if found guilty
of abdicating their responsibility.

able as a diplomatic gesture towards the
new education minister. All the same, what
seems more likely is that Moreau will end
up doling out to them a treatment not much
different from what he gave municipalities.
Regarding Premier Couillard’s other
choices for cabinet positions, they are
perhaps an indicator of his temperament
– politically and personally speaking. A
neurosurgeon prior to immersing himself in
politics, Couillard arguably has been able to
use the cool-headed qualities learned from
his specialized medical training to unflinchingly implement the rigorous program his
government is imposing in stages running
up to the next election in two years.
The Premier has come to be known as
someone with a very long memory, someone who does not take disloyalty, rejection
or slights easily, especially when they are
political. While questions are still being
asked as to why former Transport Minister
Robert Poëti was summarily tossed from
the cabinet in the latest shuffle, it can be
viewed as an example of the prerogative
of a Premier – or as a sign of personal
capriciousness.
It might be recalled that following the
2013 Quebec Liberal Party leadership race,
when Couillard prevailed over Raymond
Bachand and Pierre Moreau who were
also in the running, among those to feel
Couillard’s wrath afterwards for not
supporting him were Chomedey Liberal
MNA Guy Ouellette. All signs indicate
that Ouellette’s paying the price for giving
Bachand his backing.
Despite Ouellette’s sterling qualifications
as a Sûreté du Québec police officer and
investigator with 30 years experience (he
was very active in the 1990s during the
Hells Angels gang war and logic suggests
that he ought to be a shoe-in for the Public
Security Ministry), Ouellette’s exclusion
from successive Couillard cabinets makes it
quite evident that the Premier hasn’t forgotten the past and quite possibly never will.
While Couillard’s predecessor, former
Liberal Premier Jean Charest, was also
cautious in his selection of teammates, it
was nothing in comparison to the towering
conceit of the province’s current Premier.
On the other hand, sometimes what’s
needed to drive a difficult program to
successful completion is someone with an
exceptionally large ego and the determination to win another election.

CRTC executes warrant in malicious
malware investigation
The Canadian Radio-television and
Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)
today announced that it executed a warrant
under Canada’s anti-spam legislation
(CASL) at two locations in the Niagara
region of Ontario.
The warrant was obtained as part of an
ongoing investigation relating to the installation of malicious software (malware) and
the alteration of transmission data. The
CRTC launched its investigation further
to a lead from FireEye Inc., a vendor
specializing in cyber threat protection
and forensics.
The CRTC takes online threats very
seriously and is working closely with its
domestic and international partners,
including law enforcement agencies to
aggressively pursue investigations of
alleged violations under Canada’s antispam legislation.
Canadians are encouraged to report
spam, malware and other electronic threats
to the Spam Reporting Centre. The information sent to the Centre is used by the
CRTC, the Competition Bureau and the
tools at its disposal and is using cyber
investigative techniques to investigate
alleged violations of Canada’s anti-spam
legislation.
The warrant was granted by a Justice
of the Peace, from the Ontario Court of
Justice, and was executed with the assistance of police officers.
This is the second time a warrant has
been executed since Canada’s anti-spam
legislation came into force in 2014 and the
malware provisions which came into force
in January 2015.
Quote
Office of the Privacy Commissioner to
enforce Canada’s anti-spam legislation.
The CRTC does not comment on active
investigations, nor does it name the individuals or companies under investigation.
“We are working to protect Canadians
from online threats by pursuing those individuals and entities who violate Canada’s
anti-spam legislation. We are grateful for
the assistance that FireEye Inc. provided
which led to the execution of this warrant,
and we will continue to work closely with
our domestic and international partners in
the fight against cyber threats.”

Michel Poissant announces winter maintenance
of the Vimont train station pathway
PJC 297_pub journal coul. ang:Layout 1
Vimont city councillor for Vimont,
Michel Poissant, announced recently that
the snow will be removed from the pathway,
giving access to the Vimont train station
from Renaix street. The implementation of
this measure is a step forward in promoting
active mobility and public transportation.
Citizens living only meters away from
the train station had to take a detour of
approximately 3 km to get to it as soon as
snow would start accumulating. Because
snow was not removed, citizens could not
use the path and instead used their cars
to get around it. This situation was problematic for Vimont’s councillor, who is
concerned with promoting healthy lifestyles
and the environment. Now that the snow
is removed from the pathway, citizens are
only a few steps away from the train station.
“It was essential for me to give access to
the pathway”, he said
Poissant went to meet citizens Monday
morning at Vimont station to share the
good news with them. He greeted them
on the docking station to invite them to
use the pathway.
In accordance with Laval’s Urbaine de
nature strategic vision, “this measure will
improve the neighbourhood residents’
quality of life. The implementation of this
measure is in harmony with all our decisions,” concluded Poissant.

‘One must never hesitate to ask for help,’ says Laval public health official
Suicide Prevention Week focuses on help
for the distressed
Laval suicide prevention line: 1-866-APPELLE (277-3553)
(TLN) During National Suicide
Prevention Week, the Laval CISSS’s public
health office issued some directives to the
population so that people might have some
idea on how to prevent suicide and to raise
awareness of it so that there is less stigma
attached to it.
Preventing tragedy
“We hope that by raising awareness of
the signs and indicators of suicide and of

the means of obtaining services that this
will help families avoid such tragedies,” said
Lalie Bélanger-Dion who oversees suicide
issues at the Laval public health office.
“One must never hesitate to ask for help,”
she added. “At one time or another, anyone
can be living through difficult periods. It’s
normal. But when despair takes control, it
is absolutely important to seek help, just as
one would do for the flu or another type
of infection that would prevent you from
being well. Speak to someone who will not
judge you, who will listen and who will be
able to help.”
Bilingual crisis line
Sylvie Picard, executive-director of
the Laval regional crisis centre (L’Îlot),
points out that it is possible to call this
local suicide prevention line at any time
at 1-866-APPELLE (277-3553). Interveners
who are trained in crisis management are
there to answer calls from people who are
in emotional distress. The service is free,
bilingual, confidential and available 24
hours a day, seven days a week.
According to the public health office,
impending suicide can often be difficult
to recognize in people, and that is why they
emphasize the importance of not relying on
appearances. “Instead of avoiding a person
who shows psychological signs of distress,
one must approach them and ask how they
are and listen,” says Stéphane Chartrand,
coordinator of the mental health and
dependency program at the CISSS de Laval.
Other helpful services
Here are several other resources that are
available in the Laval region: Info-Social:
811 (option 2); Carrefour d’Hommes en
changement (CHOC), a professional help
service for men in distress: 450 975-2462;
Social Emergency Division, Laval Police
Dept.: 450 662-4595 or 9-1-1; and
Urgences-Santé: 9-1-1.
Experts estimate that there are on average
42 suicides annually in Laval for an average
of 11 in 100,000 people (which is significantly lower than in the rest of Quebec).
Since the year 2000, they say, there’s been a
decline in the number of suicides, although
80 per cent continue to be men. The highest
rate of suicide is among men aged 35 to
49 years, followed by those 50 to 64 years.
Among women, those 50-64 years are most
likely to commit suicide.

In Greek, Oneiro, means dream, but since buying her building in the late 1990s, Jane Moraitis’s situation has been anything but
Boulevard
of
broken
dreams
Notre Dame store owner holds city accountable for floods
M a r t i n C. B a r r y
Outrage. That’s the only word that comes
close to describing one Laval business
owner’s feelings of frustration after 17
years of fighting with the City of Laval over
a chronic but as yet unresolved flooding
and sewer backup problem on Notre Dame
Boulevard in Chomedey.
Monster on the loose
“We’re fighting a monster called Ville de
Laval,” Jane Moraitis, owner of the Oneiro II
boutique, which specializes in formal attire
and accessories for baptisms, first communions and confirmations, said in an interview
with The Laval News.
“They deprived us of our dream being
accomplished, our time with family and
friends, suffering great losses, and suffering
with health issues caused by immense
fatigue and stress?” added Moraitis.
In Greek, the name of her boutique,
Oneiro, translates literally as dream. But
since buying their building in the late 1990s,
the situation has been anything but. “We
started out with big dreams of making
something exclusive and big, which it is, but
this is what we’ve ended up with,” she said.
A year after purchasing the building at
3812-18 Notre-Dame Blvd. in August 1998,
they faced the first of a series of floods: it
was a huge inundation that destroyed an
estimated $27,000 worth of merchandise
in the basement, not including lost patterns
and plans or time spent cleaning up.
A nightmare grows worse
Her family’s dream of success came to
a halt. While the insurance company paid
the first $10,000, the city – citing a variety
of reasons – refused to pay the balance of
$17,000. She took precautions by closing
the valves on the floor of the basement and
by placing all the boxes of merchandise on
bricks.
However, when the city decided to repair
and enlarge the street in front of the business about eight years ago, the problem
worsened and became a nightmare. Every
time there was a heavy rainfall, the street
became a river, since the sewers appeared
inadequate to do their job properly.
On June 3, 2014, rainwater came in
from the front doors of the business. That
day, according to Moraitis, she and other
members of her family removed 48 huge
buckets of water from the basement floor
and spent days afterwards cleaning and
disinfecting. Then during another large
downpour on June 14, water in the basement rose to about a foot, ruining everything that had been placed on the bricks.
The next day, they realized they had close
to $14,000 in damages, and this time their
insurance would not cover it. And since the
problem was recurring, they were now at
risk of not being covered anymore. Fed up
and tired, they sought a solution by calling a
building inspection company, which helped
guide them to a foundation specialist.
Expert said sewers blocked
After being told it was not a foundation
problem, they consulted a drain specialist. The report from the drain specialist
shocked them. According to Moraitis, there
was absolutely nothing wrong with their
building, but the specialist agreed with the
insurance adjuster that since the building
has a flat roof, the water from the roof had
nowhere to go when the sewers were so
badly blocked.
Moraitis maintains there’s pretty much
nothing she and her family can do, as the
only solution would be to force the city to fix
inadequate sewers. She said that when the
insurance adjuster visited the surrounding
area, the other store owners told him that
A sewer outside businesses on Notre Dame
Blvd. is said to have backed up numerous times
and caused extensive flooding to Moraitis’s
business as well as at others.
they also had sewer blockage problems and
floods for years, which more recently had
become a nightmare.
According to Moraitis, she was told by
municipal officials in September 2014 that
the city acknowledged the sewer problem
and that it would be dealt with within a few
years with the help of some government
subsidies. But when nothing further was
heard, she attended a city council meeting in
December 2014 to bring up the issue again.
Sparks flew in exchanges between Moraitis
and the mayor and the council president.
Waiting for their day in court
Feeling they had no choice but to go to
Small Claims Court, on Jan. 29 she and her
family asked the court for a postponement
of their case. In the meantime, she maintains, the city offered a settlement, $1,000,
which she and her family declined.
Moraitis claims that she asked the city
that if such huge problems with the sewers
on Notre Dame Blvd. existed for so long,
how come they gave permits in the area for
businesses like a baby and children’s store,
a restaurant, a depanneur and an old age
home?
In a final ironic twist, Moraitis said that
during the first week of June 2015, a sink
hole appeared on the surface of Notre Dame
Blvd. outside their business. They could see
the asphalt rising into the air, under which was
a black hole, meters wide and deep, as far as
the eye could see. Although the city poured
gravel in and patched it up, she wonders: if
the street collapses one day, will the city be
blamed if somebody gets hurt?

CSDL holds open house at its professional
training centres
(TLN) On Feb. 2, the Commission scolaire de
Laval (CSDL) held an open house at its eight professional training centres. Several hundred people
interested in expanding their horizons turned up
on this special day to learn about the CSDL’s range
of professional training services.
During the one-day event, visitors were able to
take part in workshops, visit premises and view
demonstrations of all kinds. Students and their
teachers were also on hand to speak about courses
and to answer questions.
Laval to set up
animal services
centre by
2018
Expanding job market
Most of all, the day was organized to inform
visitors of the options which are available for professional training in Laval. As the availability of certain
types of jobs will be expanding in coming years, the
CSDL’s training centres will be playing a key role in
the awarding of diplomas by the Quebec Ministry of
Education following two years of intensive training.
A wide range of training programs are available
at the eight professional training centres of the
CSDL. Whether it’s in the domains of health, auto
mechanics, restaurant management, construction,
administration or fashion and design, there’s something for everyone.
(TLN) As a result of recent interest stirred up by media
reports regarding the City of Laval’s plans to set up a
centralized animal protection office, officials with the city
have decided to set the record straight.
The city says its main goal is to equip itself with a
comprehensive animal services centre by 2018. For that
purpose $15.3 million has been set aside in the 2016-2018
triennial capital works budget. In the meantime, preparatory work is underway for the construction of the facility
and a city-owned site has been reserved.
Quality animal protection
“We hope to offer quality and ethical animal services
which respond to the needs of Laval residents,” says Marc
Demers. “To do this we need to be proactive while prioritizing practices and actions adapted to the well-being of
animals on our territory. In this effort, the city will be
accompanied by a consultative committee made up of
experts from the sectors of animal health, management
of large projects, community action and legal affairs.”
In the meantime before the opening of the new centre,
the mayor said an animal control contract is being awarded
to Berger Blanc. He said the city will also be relying on
independent inspectors who will be making sure that
good practices prevail in regards to animal welfare and
health in Laval.
Berger Blanc contract
According to Laval executive-committee member
Sandra Desmeules, the three-year contract to Berger Blanc
costing $1,836,000 includes an option to renew for a year.
“What is certain is that our new supplier will have to
conform to all legal requirements and regulations,” she
said. “In addition, Berger Blanc commits itself to working
closely with organizations in the community.”
Berger Blanc’s contract, which begins on Feb. 27, stipulates that it is responsible for examining, vaccinating,
deworming, sterilizing and placing microchips in animals
before their adoption. The company will also be required
to refuse to euthanize healthy animals simply because
someone requests it.
Contractors’ obligations

• The Laval News • www.lavalnews.ca • February 6, 2016
Berger Blanc is also required to take part in two microchip days per year, with on-site adoption and sterilization
information, in conjunction with community organizations. And the company must work proactively with
animal shelters in order to facilitate interactions leading
to adoptions.
“The city has the well-being of animals at heart and
believes in the importance of a partnership with the various players involved,” added Demers. “We are committed
to letting be known what our thinking is regarding the
well-being of animals with the development of the animal
services centre.”
‘This is an important gift for the whole community’ says Mayor Marc Demers
$1 million for children’s breakfasts from
President’s Choice

Donation announced at École primaire du Bois Joli
M a r t i n C. B a r r y
President’s Choice Children’s Charity
announced during an event on Jan. 22 at École
primaire du Bois Joli in eastern Laval that
it is making a donation of $1 million to the
non-profit ‘Breakfast for Learning’ organization
in order to support 29,371 children in Quebec.
According to President’s Choice, the money
will be invested in developing, implementing
and supporting healthy eating programs in
schools by offering 4,956,263 breakfasts,
lunches and snacks to kids across the province
who are in need.
Hunger a problem
Despite greater awareness in recent years of
the impact hunger makes on school children
and their ability to learn, it remains a very real
problem across Quebec and its regions. The
most recent HungerCount, published by in Fall
2015 by Food Banks Canada, says that close to
400,000 people, including 150,000 children, go
hungry every month in Quebec.
“The health and well-being of children is
a priority for Loblaw,” said Johanne Héroux,
director of the Quebec branch of President’s
Choice Children’s Charity. “We are pleased
to help children to maximize their academic
potential and to promote awareness of the
importance of healthy eating, thanks to our
partnership with Breakfast for Learning.”
Helping future leaders
Laval mayor Marc Demers, who was one of
several dignitaries on hand for the announcement, said he was particularly pleased to see
such a large gift being made for the well-being
of children who are the future. “This is the best
thing that any community can do,” he said. “I am
certain that there people here in this room who
one day will become mayors or elected officials.
“Today it’s our turn to extend to you a hand
and to help you,” Demers continued. “But later
it will maybe be you who will make decisions to
take care of the elderly which is important. This
is an important gift for the whole community.
It’s not everyday that a foundation or an enterprise offers $1 million in assistance for a cause
as good as this.”
Encouraging school success
Quebec Family Minister and Liberal MNA for
Mille-Îles Francine Charbonneau was equally
pleased with the gift, as were Liberal MP for
Alfred-Pellan Angelo Iacono and Commission
scolaire de Laval president Louise Lortie.
Experts say that nutrition programs aren’t
just beneficial to children’s nourishment, they
also have a direct positive effect on their behaviour and success in school. Studies have shown
that a nutritious and healthy diet helps children
concentrate and solve problems in class while
also stimulating creativity and performance in
their studies.
Laval mayor Marc Demers, as well as local MNAs and MPs joined school commission officials and others for the announcement of President’s Choice Children’s Charity’s $1 million donation to ‘Breakfast for Learning’ at École primaire du Bois Joli on Jan. 22.
Better eating habits
“Our programs’ success is very tangible,”
said Marie-José Mastromonaco, Breakfast for
Learning’s regional manager. “During the school
year of 2014-2015, 90 per cent of participating
schools in Quebec observed an improvement
in class behaviour and 80 per cent said they
witnessed an improvement in their students’
success. Moreover, 97 per cent reported
that their nutrition programs contributed to
instilling better healthy eating habits in their
students.”
Charbonneau spoke to the guests about the
fundamental importance to our society of initiating children to healthy eating habits. Johanne
Héroux, Director of the President’s Choice
Children’s Charity in Quebec and Guy St-Pierre,
Vice-President, Maxi and Maxi & Cie, presented
the donation to Marie-José Mastromonaco,
Breakfast for Learning’s regional manager.

city councillors determined to show their
support. “We are here tonight to help the
foundation and we would like to thank
all those who helped organize the event
this evening,” the mayor added.
According to Sir Wilfrid Laurier
Foundation president Christian
Fréchette, $650,000 has been raised by
the SWLF over a 10-year period. Of

anti-intimidation programs and more
than $215,000 for student bursaries.

Vacation’s Over
I don’t remember meeting my boyfriend, but he always
says the minute he saw me he had to find
a way to get me into his life.
Five years ago we started dating. Here’s
the catch. He travels for work so our relationship has always been long distance.
Add to that, he is legally separated from
his wife but not legally divorced.
We travel together about once a month,
no less than four days at a time. It’s been
trying but so worth it. I absolutely love this
man with my entire heart and soul. But
two years ago I found myself unsatisfied
with the amount of time together and met
another guy.
He was local, available and blatantly
pursued me. After an argument with my
boyfriend I gave in. This guy was aware of
my boyfriend and our relationship, and he
respected that I was torn. One thing led to
another and it turned physical.
About three months into the new relationship, I seriously wanted to cancel a
preplanned vacation with my old boyfriend.
Instead, I headed to the destination with
every intention to let him down easy.
But the moment I laid eyes on him and
felt his kiss I knew I could never leave him.
I never told him of my infidelity. Since then
we have been stronger than ever.
Or so I thought. About six weeks ago we
planned a weekend together at a halfway
point. My boyfriend called and said the
weekend is cancelled because the check-in
time is too late, the hotel charges too much
and all that is too much to put up with just
to be with me.
Since then he has been moody and
distant. Two weeks ago he sent me a text
out of the blue asking if I would consider
a threesome. He already has the other
woman in mind, he says she’s willing and
he calls her a sex toy. I honestly thought it
was a joke until he got mad and defensive.
He said it’s not about sex or another
woman. It’s about us finding a way to fall
in love again and work out our problems.
Since then he’s been calling and texting
constantly, asking if I am okay and telling
me he loves and misses me. I am beyond
torn. I feel this is karmic retribution for
my infidelity because it’s basically a mirror
image of what I did.
Nadia
Nadia, being with someone who
doesn’t get the divorce done doesn’t
shorten the time until you are together.
It lengthens it. You sleep with a married
man, and in his man’s heart he doesn’t
respect you.
No man who loves a woman would
ever suggest a threesome to her. When
he said he wanted to find a way to fall
in love with you again, did you miss
what he said? He admitted he does not
love you now. In all likelihood this is the
final degradation before he dumps you.
This isn’t how you treat someone
you plan to marry. This is how you
treat your car before you put it in a
demolition derby.
Two years ago you knew the
relationship was wrong. That is why
you got involved with another man.
Then you went back to him. He was
the bad habit you couldn’t break,
like biting your fingernails. You must
confess to yourself, the smart, logical
and reasonable part of you, that you
didn’t want this married man.
Now, because you didn’t tell him you
are done with him, he thinks he can
sweet-talk you to get what he wants
before he tells you it is over.
For five years you sexcationed
together. You think this is karmic
retribution for cheating on him. It is
not. It is karmic retribution for cheating
with him. You are entitled to a good,
satisfying relationship, but it can never
happen with this man.

Police Seek Assault
Suspect with Aging Issues?
Jan 27 – Police are turning to the public for help in identifying a man
wanted in connection with an armed assault that occurred last year on
November 15 at the Shell gas station located at 3785 Boul. Dagenais
West in Fabreville. The suspect approached the cash to buy cigars and
became highly aggressive and verbally abusive towards the cashier when
she asked to see the suspect’s ID. After proving his age and grabbing his
cigars, the agitated man threw some coins at the cashier, then picked
up a nearby blunt object and hurled it at the cashier’s head. Luckily, she
managed to avoid being hit.
The suspect is described as a French-speaking Caucasian male, about
30-35 years old, with a mustache, goatee, and prescription glasses. He
is about 5-foot-10-inches (1.78 m) tall. At the time of the incident, he
was wearing a red hoody sweatshirt with a white logo, dark blue jeans,
a grey NY Yankees cap, and white running shoes.
Anyone with information about this man or this incident is asked to
call the LPD’s confidential hotline at 450-662-INFO (4636) or 911 and
mention file LVL-151115-044.
If you ask this man his age, be prepared to duck!
Murder
suspect
turns
himself
in
Wanted for
masturbating in public
Jan 28 – His name was on the list of ‘Quebec’s
10 most wanted criminals’ for less than a
day before 56-year-old André Michel Boyer
turned himself in to authorities to face charges
of murder in the first degree and improperly
interfering with a dead body.
The victim, Laval resident Domenico Iacono,
went missing on October 25, 2015. When Laval
police issued a missing person’s report, tips
from the public led investigators to the victim’s
abandoned car in Montreal-North a few days
later. Iacono’s corpse had been stuffed into the
trunk of his car.
Owner of Construction Amlac National
Inc., Boyer was linked to the disappearance
and murder of Iacono after the investigation
revealed that the two men had had a business
relationship. Authorities confirmed that the
murder took place at a residence that belonged
to Boyer. After the homicide, Boyer fled the
country and travelled to Costa Rica and then
Asia, before returning to Quebec on January
11th, according to the Canada Border Services
Agency. The murder suspect turned himself in
to local police shortly after a Canada-wide arrest
warrant had been issued for him.
Jan 28 – The LPD is asking for
help in identifying a man who is
facing charges for masturbating
in public. Last summer at about 3
p.m. on July 10th, a man made his
way by boat to the Ste-Rose belvedere located at 345 Boul. Ste-Rose
and proceeded to pleasure himself
in front of several witnesses.
The suspect is described as a
Caucasian male, about 50 years
old, 6 feet (1.83 m) tall and about
200 pounds (90 kg) heavy.
Anyone with information is
asked to call the confidential
police hotline at 450-662-INFO
(4636) or 911 and mention file LVL
150831-017.
Wanted for unlawful wanking by
the riverbank in front of unlucky
witnesses.
Jan 27 – Police intercepted and
arrested a man in Chomedey who
was carrying a concealed gun.
Several witnesses alerted 911 at
about 2:45 p.m. after the man had
been spotted at the St-Martin/
Corbusier McDonald’s showing
the weapon to his friend. With a
description of the car the armed
man left in, as well as the vehicle’s
license plate number, police were
able to quickly track the suspect
down. At 3:03 p.m., police had
apprehended the miscreant. He
was transported to the detention
centre to meet with investigators
and learn which charges he would
face.
Police Arrest Man Seen
with Gun in McD’s
Proof that Crime Doesn’t Pay
Jan 20 – Police are asking for information that could
help identify an armed robber that ostensibly held up the
Tim Horton’s on Boul. le Corbusier at 2 a.m. on October
19, 2015. The suspect entered and headed straight for the
cash register, demanding the contents from the cashier.
She looked down to open the register and when she looked
up again, the suspect was heading out the door and into a
waiting car.
The suspect is described as a French-speaking Caucasian
male, about 30 years old, 5-foot-9-inches (1.75 m) tall with
a medium build. He has short brown hair and at the time
he was wearing glasses, dark pants, a white shirt, a black
coat and black shoes.
Any information about this man or this incident can be
relayed confidentially by calling the LPD’s hotline at 450-662INFO (4636) or 911, and mentioning file LVL 151019 003.
Robbery Fail – Unidentified thief walked out on the job
and left the cash behind. Still considered a crime, according
to police.

t h e
L . I . G . H . T . E . R
Aries March 21-April 19 ________________________________________________________
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22 ____________________________________________________________
Social joys, optimism, friendly romance and all-round happiness continue,
Aries – especially this Sun./Mon. The only thing that might (will) be denied
you is sex, physical intimacy. (Also avoid investments or any financial commitments
both days.) You might enter a new social circle, or begin a new public, fame, group or
friendship project – e.g., plan a barbeque for “Friends of the River Frog” or such. (Not
a frog-leg Barbie, tho!) A wish doesn’t exactly come true – instead, it is “setting up” for
a later fulfillment. Retreat from the crowd Tues./Wed. – rest, contemplate, hold private
discussions, make plans (and examine them).
RThe two weeks ahead continue to emphasize romance, creativity, beauty,
pleasure, charming kids, and risk-taking. (This last a positive thing; you’re
riding a small winning streak.) Sunday/Monday bring these influences to a peak, but
two small warnings: 1) you won’t meet anyone new who would turn into a life-mate;
2) this is not the best time to begin or launch a big project in these areas. (E.g., not a
good time to join an internet dating site, or begin writing a novel, etc.) Still, love is in
the air! Tackle chores Tues./Wed. – you’ll have solid, even lucky success, especially in
dealing with the government, with large corporations or institutions.
The main emphasis remains on career, ambitions, prestige relations and your
worldly standing or reputation. These are especially potent Sun./Mon., and
your luck is fine, except with co-operators (they oppose you right now, overtly or covertly) and relocation. Opportunities might not be what they seem. Taurus, now to
March 5, and again late May to August 2, relationships will be intense – hot or cold, love
or war, with little in-between. The people you deal with will have a tendency to “sense”
your weakness or secrets you try to hide about yourself, and they will tend to use this
to their advantage. For example – extreme examples – an enemy might send photos of
you in bed with Mata Hari, to the Times. Or, a lover or seducer might know just what to
say, where to hit, to make you weak-kneed. The best way to counter such possibilities
is to fix/cure whatever that weakness is, then you will be much freer to act, and you’ll
find a bunch of new energy is available to you.
The accent lies on home, domesticity, property, security, nutrition and retirement, especially Sun./Mon. These two days flow smoothly enough, and
you should dive into domestic affairs or projects. But 1) don’t start a major domestic
project (e.g., building a house) and 2) leave work affairs at work. Romance, beauty,
pleasure, charming kids, creative and speculative ventures loom Tues./Wed. Dive in,
take advantage of the terrific luck – you can find romance and/or social acceptance.
(Your dealings with groups this year are very beneficial.) However, don’t chase earnings or income situations, and be wary of “sex without love” no matter how temptingly
it lures you. (Be brave, pick real love.)
Taurus April 20-May 20 ________________________________________________________
Gemini May 21-June 20 _________________________________________________________
You start this week happy in mood and mind. A recent love puzzle might “unknot itself” Sunday. Your view is wide, your compassion and empathy strong
but mellow. You understand things. A new intellectual, travel, legal or love venture
might start. Whether it has a long-term result is not at all certain, though, so don’t tie
your future to it, especially Monday. Make a first move, then wait and see. Your career
and worldly standing nudge you into ambitious efforts (hopefully!) Tues./Wed. (Or, flip
side, you might be shoved before some authority or other.) Tuesday is terrifically lucky
in home, real estate, family healing, gardening, and in investment, finances, sexual intimacy – but not in relationships, marriage, relocation or negotiations.
Cancer June 21-July 22 __________________________________________________________
Life’s mysteries rise to the surface. Secrets abound – and research can yield
valuable answers, especially in financial, health or lifestyle regions. These
things “surround you” for the two weeks ahead, but especially this Sunday/Monday.
These two days urge you to invest, reduce debt, or otherwise massage your financial
picture. (If “gambling big,” find an advisor who is “savvy” about possible deflation and its
effect on investments.) (Savvy comes from the French, “savoir,” to know.) Life’s mysteries
are solved by looking at the bigger picture Tues./Wed. You could fall in love these two
days – and although it can yield a huge, lovely, long-to-be-remembered love affair, it
probably won’t end in marriage.
Leo July 23-Aug. 22 ________________________________________________________________
These weeks steep your days in relationships. This Sunday/Monday double
the influence, striking a key note. Negotiations, arguments and agreements,
contracts, dealings with the public, relocation, fresh horizons and opportunities in
general – these tend to succeed, but if you start a new project in these zones, realize it might not go anywhere. So, keep expectations “light.” Life’s private, secret side
emerges Tues./Wed., as does your subconscious – this raises your intuition, so follow
your hunches. Sex, intimate commitments, large finances, health diagnoses, lifestyle
changes, all draw you.
Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22 ___________________________________________________________
The general accent, this week and next, remains on work, service, repairs,
daily health, tools and machinery. Sunday/Monday highlight this influence.
Sunday’s good for buying used items. But don’t buy (or push to the limit) any large machinery, or anything that could be termed an investment. You’ll get a lot done Sunday,
not so much Mon. Relationships fill the horizon Tues./Wed. Remember, you should generally avoid forming new partnerships (in love and money) before mid-May 2017. That
said, these two days offer splendid harmony, co-operation – even love. Hug someone!
But beware real estate, home, security and retirement commitments. You could hear
happy news from far away.
HOROSCOPE
Jokes of the week!
s i d e
Peanuts
An old lady offers a bus driver some
peanuts. So the driver happily eats
them. Every 5 minutes she hands
him another handful of peanuts.
Driver: “Why don’t you eat them
yourself?”
Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21 __________________________________________________________
Old Lady: “I can’t chew look I have no
teeth.”
Driver: “Then why do you buy them?”
Old lady: “I just love the chocolates
around them.”
Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21 ___________________________________________________
The accent remains on details, paperwork, errands, communications, trips and
visits, and a general restlessness, especially Sunday/Monday. Travel, call, read
– be curious. You’ll be extra busy Sun./Mon. with all these things – however, don’t start a
new project (e.g., don’t start a new mail project, or buy a new phone system). (And avoid
a “sensuous romance.”) Home calls Tues./Wed. – so do security, retirement plans, real
estate, gardening, etc. Although you should avoid plunging into these areas all year (and
to mid-May/17) these two days offer superb luck, so this is an excellent time to correct
matters or tackle problems (in domestic zones). In addition, especially Tues., a stroke of
luck could give you a pay raise, praise from the boss.
College Dorms
On the first day of college, the
Dean addressed the students:
“The female dormitory is outof-bounds for all male students,
and the male dormitory is to the
female students. Anyone caught
breaking this rule will be fined $20
the first time. Second violation will
be a $60 fine. Third time will cost
you a fine of $180. Are there any
questions?”
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19 ______________________________________________________
The general accent lies on money, earnings, possessions, sensual attractions and memory (and memory tasks as well as rote learning). These are
highlighted Sun./Mon. Your luck’s fine these two days, but 1) don’t start a major
project (e.g., buying a business to make more money) and 2) beware of spending to
fulfill a hope about home, real estate, or retirement. Errands, calls, emails, paperwork
and details, travel and casual acquaintances – these fill Tues./Wed., in a lucky, smooth
and opportunity-producing way. Re the last of these – be curious – read, listen, look!
You could meet someone casually, just a friend, who could become a major lover –
and/or a teacher, legal advisor, or simply a lucky friend.
Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18 ________________________________________________________
A male student inquired, “How
much for a season pass?”
Your energy, charisma, clout and effectiveness remain high – and reach new
heights Sunday/Monday. You’re the leader, the centre of attention. However,
treat bosses and career people (and authorities) with kid gloves. If you start any new
projects, do it Sunday for best results. Chase money Tues./Wed. – cultivate new clients,
ask the boss for a pay raise, buy and sell profitably, etc. Your luck in investments (or
debt reduction) is splendid, especially if a government agency or government data are
involved. A clandestine sexual attraction lures you – reject it if there is a moral problem
(e.g., he/she’s married, you are, etc.). If there is no problem, this could be a memorable
affair in the making.
Money Bag
There once was an old man who was
about to die. He told his wife to put
a bag of money in the attic.
Pisces Feb. 19-March 20 __________________________________________________________
Continue to lie low, Pisces, especially Sunday/Monday. Rest, contemplate,
meditate, enjoy sweet solitude and make plans. (These could be merely practical plans – but if you want to make more life-long or “broader” plans, then study your
own past, how you arrived at this place, and from there make plans.) Your energy and
charisma rise somewhat Tues./Wed., and superb luck accompanies you, especially in
marriage or other partnerships (or potential mates) and in social areas. A wish could
come true. If you’re “on the verge” then use this interval to propose. You could attract a
love that will stay fresh for a long time. Chase money Thurs./Fri., cultivate clients and/or
your boss. However, proceed a little carefully, as luck is mixed (but not bad or dangerous). Avoid mixing friends and money.
“When I die I’ll get it on my way up.”
chuckled the old man.
Well when the old man died the wife
went up to the attic and found that
the bag of money was still there.
“I knew I should have put that
money in the cellar!” said the old
woman.

specifications may change without notice. Offers available on approved credit through Subaru’s Financial Services by TCCI. Offers valid until February 29th, 2016. Certain conditions apply. 1. Eligible participants must be within four months of graduation, or have graduated in the current year or previous two calendar years from a recognized university undergraduate degree program or two-year college program (48 weeks minimum).
Rebate is applicable to new, unregistered vehicles only. Lifetime limit of one graduate rebate per qualified buyer. Vehicle must be registered in the graduate’s name. Graduate rebate is over and above most consumer retail offers available from Subaru Canada, Inc., but cannot be combined with any other rebate or employee discount. Offer is non-transferable. 2. To determine crashworthiness, IIHS rates vehicles good, acceptable, marginal
or poor, based on performance in five tests. To qualify for 2016 Top Safety Pick+, a vehicle must earn good ratings in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints tests and a good rating in the small overlap front test. Vehicles must also offer, as optional equipment, either forward collision warning and/or autonomous braking system(s) (Subaru EyeSight®) and earn an advanced or superior rating for front crash
prevention. For more details, visit iihs.org. 3. EyeSight® is a driver assist system which may not operate optimally under all driving conditions. EyeSight® is not designed as a substitute for due care and attention to the road. The system may not react in every situation. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors such as vehicle maintenance, weather and road conditions.
