Well, we got some new pavement again. It is a continuation of last year on Leslie Street and it was much needed. There is only one small part now that remains to be done on that particular street. Every little bit helps.
We really need to congratulate our MNA Mr. André Fortin who was named Transport Minister last week. He is now in the cabinet, good for him. He is young and energetic and I assume he caught the eye of Premier Couillard and was given the promotion.

I attended the five candidate debate in Campbell’s Bay. My opinion is we cannot compare the Pontiac to large city areas. I think our needs are very different. Anyway, I guess we will know soon enough. Although the office of the MRC is being administered in part like big city departments. You cannot walk in there now and ask questions of an employee whether it is an emergency or not. You need to make an appointment in advance. Really? Is it that busy there? Maybe after the elections the warden will change some things to better serve the public.
Devin Hearty, grandson of Remi and Marion Pare, will be going to do his para-trooper training. Good for him. We wish him the best.
Congratulations to Cory and Caroline Dubeau on the birth of their son and to Stephanie Jolin and Ben Kluke on the safe arrival of their baby boy. Lots of babies this year it seems.
Get well wishes to Claire Dubeau owner of the Voyageur Restaurant. She had surgery but is doing well. She and her staff are always very nice to The Red Hat Ladies when we have our gathering there.
Have you noticed the beautiful paint job done on the Litchfield garage? It is colour co-ordinated with the office building and it looks great. Litchfield has come a long way in the last four years. As a resident of Litchfield I am very proud of all the progress thanks to Mayor Larivière and her council. The expert paint job was of course done by Philip Pilon.
We extend our sympathies to Anna Dubois and her family on the loss of her daughter Manon who passed away last week in Aylmer, Que.
The leaves are really changing now and falling as well. I guess fall is upon us for sure but it is unusually mild.
Well, I guess that is about it for this week except to wish everyone celebrating a happy birthday and of course we send you our best wishes if you are celebrating wedded bliss and to everyone feeling under the weather we wish you all a speedy recovery.
