Table Talk Pies of Worcester has officially completed the acquisition of the assets of Acton Vale-based Pâtisserie Gaudet which was previously under the management of trustee Raymond Chabot Grant

long-standing commitment to quality," which the new buyer says will be a winning combination we look forward to serving Canadian customers with pies and tarts from the Quebec plant and made to the same high-quality standards that North American customers have come to know and love," concluded Kokkinis and Berbari Table Talk was deeply saddened at the time by the news of this company's closure

unfortunate consequences in this situation Table Talk worked closely with Raymond Chabot to work out a deal that helped the creditors of this bankrupt company and was also economically beneficial to

Vale Emilien Richard Laviolette from Saint-Agapit All were presented their quilts by Gallibois whose efforts were made possible thanks to the support of Brady Smith reflected in a recent interview on both his military career and the honour of receiving a Quilt of Valour “It’s an honour that some people take their time and talent to do something for us,” Proulx said following the ceremony He described the quilts as “quilts of comfort” and added I put it on my favorite chair in front of the fireplace I’m just waiting for the winter to use it.” Proulx’s military journey spanned from 1980 to 2007 a career marked by service both internationally and domestically As a geomatic technician with the Canadian Forces Mapping and Charting Establishment he played a pivotal role in various NATO and United Nations operations where he was responsible for mapping much of Europe “We specialized in analyzing the terrain for commanders providing them with critical information on which routes to take and what vehicles to use,” Proulx explained His work ensured that military operations ran smoothly as all forces used the same maps and data for their missions Proulx contributed to several significant Canadian operations His expertise helped public security and Hydro-Québec identify the areas most in need during these crises ensuring aid reached the right places efficiently “I’ve been all over the world—Germany emphasized the importance of the event and expressed gratitude to Brady Smith for his support “I couldn’t have done such a big presentation without his support in Lennoxville.” acknowledging the service of these veterans in a way that resonated deeply with them “It’s amazing to think someone out there is making these quilts just to say thank you.” Subscribe to

CTV began with some tasty twists in the two-hour premiere Monday night The 18 invited home cooks prepared audition dishes Then the tension was ratcheted up with the first elimination challenge of the season The two cooks forced to say goodbye after the elimination challenge were Steven Lapointe an international figure skater from Acton Vale Here’s what the two of them had to say about the MASTERCHEF CANADA pressure-cooker: Q: What was the best piece of advice you got on MASTERCHEF CANADA STEVEN: “The best piece of advice I received was from Chef Alvin who said that I need to balance my dishes better so that there is not too much of one component.” CLIFF: “The best piece of advice I got was when Chef Claudio said to stay true to myself and my cooking style.” Q: Was there an element of appearing on MASTERCHEF CANADA that was harder than you thought it would be STEVEN: “Deciding what I was going to cook was definitely harder than I expected but it is another story in the MASTERCHEF CANADA Kitchen.” CLIFF: “Definitely much harder than it looks – it’s easy to sit and play armchair chef when you don’t have a timer on your back and your phone on standby There are tons of things going on that you have to be aware of while you are trying to focus on your dish and doing this is one of the best experiences that I ever had.” what would you have done differently in the elimination challenge Michael Bonacini commented that ground beef was a tough choice by Steven because it’s difficult to elevate it and make it feel luxurious and Cliff was coming into it after having prepared “one of the best audition dishes we have ever tasted,” according to Claudio Aprile But it’s interesting that both of you made different versions of sandwiches in the elimination challenge that didn’t quite impress the judges enough STEVEN: “I understand what Chef Michael said (about ground beef being a tough choice) but meat like that is a part of my heritage Instead of trying to be something that I am not This is the first thing I made coming back from elimination It is another modern version of a tourtière It combines my love for pastry and Québec food.” I can see what Chef Michael and Chef Alvin meant by ‘roadhouse’ in my presentation I tried to play it off with the ‘everything is bigger in Texas’ smile because I ran out of time before cutting them into sliders Not leaving it open-faced was another presentation mistake that I made I would still make the barbeque pulled duck sliders but I would ditch the bread for deep-fried duck rinds.” Q: What’s next for you in the cooking world STEVEN: “I applied for pastry school at the Québec Tourism and Hotel Institute in Montréal I recently was hired at Arthurs Nosh Bar in Montréal the one that was featured on the Rachael Ray show a month back or so.” CLIFF: “With this experience under my belt I feel confident that I can be successful in my food-business dreams of bringing my authentic Texas barbeque and Southern-comfort cuisine to Canada Next for me is incorporating my barbeque business and setting up shop.” billharristv@gmail.com MASTERCHEF CANADA Top 12 Home Cooks Revealed in Season 6 Premiere on

It has happened again, and sadly, it will happen again, and again. Last Sunday in Drummondville, Quebec, two little girls, Laurelie, 5, and Anais, 2, and their brother, Loic, 4, were found dead in their home. Their mother, 33-year-old Sonia Blanchette, has been charged with three counts of first degree murder. The murders of children by a parent are by no means unique to the province of Quebec, but increasingly across our land from coast to coast vulnerable little children are finding themselves caught in the middle of bitter and acrimonious custody battles being fought out between their estranged parents. If you’re reading this today, and you or some of your family members are locking horns with their spouse in a bitter, vengeful custody battle, get help for yourself, or them, and get it as quick as you can. Tucked away in the pages of the Bible is some time-tested advice for custody battles. Listen to it: “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, as in Christ, God forgave you.” (The Bible, Ephesians 4:31-32) Sound advice, isn’t it, for a marital relationship that’s tearing apart at the seams. When we are wounded and hurt by a spouse, devastated by a Family Court custody decision, the potential for bitterness is incredibly high. Out of our pain we all we have that inner propensity to lash out, it’s a knee-jerk reaction also known as “I’ll get you back!” Allow that mindset to dominate the five-inch space between your ears and you begin to eat, sleep and drink the seven-letter demon spelled R-E-V-E-N-G-E. One would only wish that at that junction every individual in this position would stop and see that they are fast propelling themselves down a slope that has no exit, no way of escape. Tragically, many who are intent on revenge find no ‘mental dam’ to arrest and stop the flow of toxic and vindictive thinking, all they can think of is “How can I get back at him (her) for what he (she) did to me?” At some point in this descent, the now warped and unforgiving mind has a thought, a thought so revoltingly horrible and morally perverted that rational judgment completely surrenders to hatred and revenge. “I’ll get her (him),” it says, “through the kids. Just watch and see.” This is the contemporary tragedy of custody battles. Sometimes our law courts would try to tell us in defence of the accused that they had a moment of madness and embraced insanity, but more often than not this is not the case, these acts of murder are premeditated acts of revenge, spitefully planned and thought out with the ultimate intent of completely devastating the estranged partner. When a relationship between a man and a woman comes apart you can divide property and assets and pensions, but you can’t half a little kid in two! I wish for the sake of all the little kids caught in the middle, you could, but you can’t. Today as you read this, in Acton Vale, Quebec, pallbearers will carry three little caskets to a cemetery, and there, five-year-old Laurelie together with her four-year-old brother, Loic, and their little sister, two-year-old Anais, will be laid to rest. There won’t be one dry eye there, believe me. And there ought not to be. For scenes like this rip out the heart of God and cause Him to stand over this generation and weep profusely. And if He weeps over it, we ought to weep over it too. I wish I didn’t have to say this, but what is being witnessed in Acton Vale today, will happen again. This is not cold pessimism speaking, but rather harsh realism. A spouse filled with bitterness over the real or perceived injustice of a child custody settlement can be a walking time bomb. If you fit the bill, and that’s you, wounded and broken and looking for revenge, get help, and get it now. Contrary to the age-old adage, revenge is not sweet. Come with me to the newly turned soil in a Quebec graveyard, this morning awaiting three little caskets, and I’ll show you, before your very eyes, that revenge is not, and never will be, sweet! Alas, regardless of their doom, the little victims play, no sense have they of ills to come, no care beyond to-day. Rev.

From Candice Carty-Williams’ Queenie, which is set around Brixton, and smash-hit romcom Rye Lane in Peckham, to Champion and now Supacell, which airs on Netflix this week This story of a group of south Londoners who develop superpowers is set around Peckham and Lewisham and the story takes us on a whistle-stop tour of the capital (including into central London for a climactic battle sequence) which naturally had us curious about where it was all filmed Though of course there are the easily-recognisable locations: Brixton station filming Supacell took the cast and crew all over London in search of the perfect location with a quick detour to Edinburgh for one storyline From the hospitals to the jerk chicken shops Michael and Dionne go for a romantic walk early in Deptford Park in the series This was the location for the battle in Piccadilly Circus Peckham Road doubled for the streets of Brockley where Michael heads in search of others who have developed superpowers This was where the crew filmed the cemetery scene where Michael flashes forward to the future and finds Dionne’s grave where Sabrina faces off against a mysterious assailant The hospital where Sabrina works and Michael’s mum is receiving treatment for sickle-cell disease Tazer’s stomping ground of the Tower Block Estates were filmed here where Tazer faces off against his rivals (to deadly consequences) was filmed at two different locations The backdrop for Tazer and the Tower Boys on bikes The jerk chicken shop where the characters congregate Prince Louis steals the show at VE Day parade as he keeps dad

Victoria Starmer Ukraine 'launches stunning Kursk offensive' in major blow for Putin ahead of Victory Day celebrations Ukraine 'launches stunning Kursk offensive' in blow for Putin UK tourists face major travel shake-up as Dubai airport set to close VE Day veteran recalls bumping into his father during Normandy invasion Home > Acton and VE Day When the original VE Day (Victory in Europe) was celebrated 80 years ago Borough archivist Dr Jonathan Oates looks at how it marked the big event Acton was dominated by heavy industry in Acton Vale and by many laundries rather than the tower blocks that came to replace them post-war for many years it was clear that the war in Europe could not last much longer with the Allied armies closing in on the heartland of Germany and Hitler having killed himself The town council of Acton and the local churches had already decided to hold a service and parade on the Sunday following the end of hostilities in Europe The plan was to meet at Acton Park for a thanksgiving service and then to parade up the High Street and Acton Hill Local organisations were to take part and the Salvation Army band would provide the music It is worth recalling that many people approached VE Day with mixed feelings he felt gratitude to the servicemen who had fought in the war and especially to those who had been killed He personally did not think there was a need to celebrate This was because the war was not over; only part of it because the Japanese enemy was still undefeated Many families had loved ones who were still serving in the Far East Another commentator observed that ‘we would like a holiday’ but wondered ‘who would do the work?’ He wrote: ‘They would like to fly their flags but there is no rope We would like all the lights to go on again Most of all we would like all our young men back again but that could not be so it would be a relief to see prisoners of war returning from Germany and to travel in buses without the netting on the windows.’ The audiences at the Savoy cinema in east Acton were happy to see the message flash on the cinema screen: ‘The Germans have surrendered’ The organist immediately played God save the King and Land of Hope and Glory and the audience began dancing in the aisles it was too soon – the deputy manager came up to the stage and persuaded the organist to cease because there had been a technical problem and that the message on the screen had not had the end of the message which was ‘in Italy’ When VE Day was announced on Monday 7 May 1945 flags started to appear in the High Street that morning Prams were seen with little union flags and children aged between 8 and 12 were seen ‘striding purposefully along with their larger flags’ ‘You could hardly go round a corner without meeting a man with a stepladder Shops were festooned with bunting and those on King Street had a ‘dignified row of the banners of the United Nations’ The dog at the Globe cinema wore a union flag bow tie Bunting also spread across the streets at Park Road North and Church Road Unofficial bonfires were lit that evening in Acton There was a blaze on Acton Vale that many children who had never yet experienced a bonfire night This was at the allotments site and continued until way past midnight wood from Bromyard Avenue playing field and chestnut palings Children ran home to find any bits of wood they could following a heavy thunderstorm in the night-time buying food and drink for the next two days when the shops would be closed the firemen who tried to hoist a flag on the church tower were unsuccessful the sound of singing could be heard by passers-by: ‘in the middle of the day you could walk along the High Street to hear waves if untuneful song first from oner an then from another.’ A group of young people behind a man pretending to play a cornet couples danced on the green outside the church and the singing continued There were fires seen on almost every street in South Acton Couples danced around each fire and sang to wireless music blaring from houses Pianos were brought out into the street for more musical accompaniment but one piano taken outside one pub was broken up to be used as bonfire firewood two men could be seen by a window calmly playing a game of cribbage There were also services of thanksgiving in all the churches that evening and they were well attended There was more bell ringing by visiting ringers the music was replayed by loudspeakers working from an amplifier as arranged by Fred Thomas from his front room and it continued next day as well with another large bonfire James Darbon was a child at the time and he later had the following recollection writing: ‘From early morning in that day the area was a hive of activity in preparation for the celebration An abandoned gypsy caravan been found in a local coach house and as a base for the focal point of the festivities had been wheeled to the junction of Park Road North and Osborne Road On the roof were Guys representing the three Axis powers: Adolf Hitler (Germany) Benito Mussolini (Italy) and Prime Minister (Japan) The day was spent filling the inside with combustible material and more was thrown on the outside ‘When darkness fell a large crowd witnessed the lighting of the fire There were no fireworks available: the making of explosives had been for other purposes The biggest cheer of the evening came when a local woman symbolically threw her black out curtains into the flames Late into the night it was agreed that it was the best bonfire there had ever been’ These were nothing new to adults and older children because there had been many in Acton in the 1935 to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of George V and the coronation of his son in 1937 These were often in working class areas were people often worked in the same place and knew each other to an extent that later became less common These seem to have been held in many Action streets and there were newspaper reports of many of them Often several streets clubbed together so for example over a hundred children from Allison Road Mr and Mrs Elliott of 18 Allison Road organised it and over £14 was collected to pay for the food and drink which was a sacrifice because these were all rationed Tables and chairs from the houses in the street were brought out into the road One small child brought out a white mug with his name and address on it in case it got lost Many of the fathers also took as much a part as the children’ presumably the women were focused on preparing and serving the food and drinks Mrs Harker held a children’s party at 11 Lowfield Road in her back garden She and other mothers had decided on this on Monday and eventually they all went inside and had various party games there instead Some parties were held later; at Seymour Road and Wolsely Road it was on the Sunday 13 May The mayor and mayoress of Acton went to it after having been to the official celebrations The cake at this street party weighed 20 pounds and each child was given a slice and a rose the organisers of the event were all women Flags were flying in the street and as time went on floodlights were used and the event became a party for the adults The Acton newspaper editorial repeated Churchill’s words: ‘When shall the reputation and faith of this generation of English men and women fall where the bird of freedom chirps in human hearts they will look back to what we have done it was realised that the problems of the post-war world would be difficult to deal with after the sound of the bells and the singing disappeared the glow of the fires faded and the sight of the flags lost its fervour It would not be easy to rebuild the world and the country but the difficulties of that time had been overcome and were equally hard VE day was important because it meant the end of the fighting that had began in September 1939 and that a monstrous murderous tyranny had been vanquished forever Western Europe was no longer under the dangers of bombing rationing continued for years and in some way became worse there was still the war in the Far East and that continued for another 3 months The dismantling of the war effort and the transition to a peace economy was also hard and a local example was that just after VE Day there was an announcement that no longer need ed to make parts for military vehicles especially following VJ day in August 1945 The 6 years of war had resulted in many hardships Dr Oates is due to give a talk on this subject at

winner of the Coupe du Quebec for his age group bronze medallist at the Canadian Olympic-distance national championship in Magog Bresson made his mark: He was the first Quebecer to cross the line at Ironman Mont Tremblant last August in a personal best time of 9:09:21 Oh – and 100th overall at Kona last October His partner Joëlle gave birth to their son Bastien last April “The baby’s arrival meant I had less time to train,” Bresson says “I’m devoting time to my family… Despite that Bresson adopted a “less is more” approach to triathlon training it’s important that the training doesn’t take over everything,” Bresson says he trains as little as half that – out of that dedication to balance but also because his results are proof that a minimalist approach can work “You can go out and ride five hours at a relaxed pace but it’s not going to develop you as an athlete,” Bresson says to do three hours of hard cycling at your race pace Similarly with running – especially in the weeks leading up to a race – it’s about getting your body used to running fast on tired legs “If you are limited in the training time you have it’s really important to target the speed at which you are able to race and to do your long workouts at that pace,” he says rather than heading to the pool alone to swim endless lengths Bresson recommends joining a Masters’ swim club where you’re forced to push yourself against other It all begins with a solid base of fitness Bresson doesn’t have much time for the sedentary “wannabe” who signs up for an Ironman so he can check it off his bucket list it’s just going to leave them discouraged,” he says “They’ll drag themselves over the finish line so they can tell their friends “It’s not what I’m looking for in my athletes,” he says of the 30 age-groupers of all levels he has in his stable to take two or three years before even thinking ‘I want to do an Ironman’ – to take pleasure in the training as much as in completing the race.” Bresson takes the same approach toward planning their training as he does with his own program – looking at how much time each has available their past results and their goals for the coming season you lose the pleasure you otherwise get from this,” Bresson says he concludes: You hit your goals as a triathlete and everything else in your life is manageable your productivity at work – it all goes together,” Bresson says “It all gets better through the practice of this sport.” Triathlete Loreen Pindera is an editor and broadcaster at CBC News in Montreal Get the digital edition of Triathlon for

in the Acton area are having to get used to revised routes which were introduced this Saturday (7 December) by TfL The 306 runs from Acton to West Kensington and Fulham Broadway stations The 218 uses single decker buses operated by Tower Transit It is scheduled to run every 10 minutes during Monday to Saturday day time and every 15 minutes during Sundays and all evenings using single-deck buses It follows the former alignment of route 440 between North Acton Gypsy Corner and Acton High Street via West Acton It takes the previous alignment of route 266 between Acton High Street and Hammersmith via Askew Road Sand’s End running every 12 minutes during Monday to Saturday daytime and every 15 minutes during Sunday and all evenings using double-deck vehicles It follows the previous alignment of route 266 between Acton Vale and Hammersmith Bus Station via Askew Road Then carries on along the previous alignment of route 391 between Hammersmith town centre and Fulham The H9 and H10 now serve more of Northwick Park Hospital in Brent and the 440 reaches more of Wembley although it has been rerouted away from other areas leading to complaints from some residents which aimed to create better transport links in outer London Responses showed that 40% of residents supported the 218 and 31 per cent of respondents backed the new 306 service In addition a new route 278 runs from Heathrow to Hayes and Harlington station and Ickenham and West Ruislip Tube stops while the X140 is an express service linking Harrow to the airport TfL say these new routes are part of a major programme of improvements to outer London bus services in what they describe as the biggest investment in over a decade the regularity of some buses in the area such as the E3 has been reduced director of public service planning at TfL said “We are pleased to implement these changes to improve the bus network in outer London with new bus routes and extensions to existing routes making bus services a convenient option for even more Londoners “The changes to the bus network will improve access for thousands of commuters to Tube and TfL Rail Services and improve links to key services like local hospitals.” TfL intends to introduce five new routes in outer London before the end of the year The new routes aim to help achieve the Mayor’s ambition of 80 per cent of trips made by bicycle said: “This boost to outer London routes is all part of the Mayor’s commitment to provide a good public transport experience for all Londoners.” Reallocating resources from central London can take time so the Mayor says he is providing additional funding from London's business rates to speed up investment in outer London Nearby school forced to close while police investigate Acton Teen Jailed for
