Apartment for rent scam Dear Editor, I was recently made aware of a new scam going on in the area of Vaudreuil-Soulanges. My friend saw an ad on Facebook for a four-and-a-half apartment for rent in Vaudreuil-Dorion for only $650/month. It was such a good deal that he wanted to go look at it. Before even making an appointment to see the apartment the person in charge of the ad told my friend that he must prove that he would be able to afford this apartment by purchasing a bunc

Pick it up! Dear Editor, We have lived in Hudson for 23 years and have had a dog almost the whole time. Our newest is almost nine months old and my wife and I have gotten into the habit of having long walks in the morning. We have both been retired for about four years and are now getting to know all the trails in the area. So here's the point of this letter. To all the dog owners who do not pick up after your dogs and those that do but leave the bag on the side of the trail,

Up for adoption

PHOTO COURTESY ANIMATCH Jersey, a 4 1/2-year-old female Australian Shepherd, had a hard time coping when she was given up because of illness in her family. She was nervous and started displaying unacceptable behaviour. She has now spent some time at École de Formations Intervenants canins du Québec, and has made great progress. Training has provided a boost to her confidence. But, this is only the beginning. Australian Shepherds are smart and energetic. They need to exercise
