All the necessary papers have been signed by the federal government and the Huntingdon Rotary Club in order to go ahead with the project of repairing the dam on the Chateauguay River and to create a park site near the dam.The official signing took place in Huntingdon Saturday, Feb.11 and in all probability, work on the project could start around May 15.This endeavor, which comes under the Special Job Creation Initiatives program of the federal government, will benefit from a grant of $100,000 for its implementation.Approval of the project had been announced shortly before Christmas by Gérald Laniel, MP for the Beauharnois-Salaberry riding.The Huntingdon Rotary Club had decided to sponsor this important project, illustrating once more its traditional! sense of civic responsibility.The work will include the following: First, the dam on the Chateauguay River near Henderson Street will undergo major repairs to give it a new appearance altogether.The parts still in good order will not be changed but it seems that a new siructure will be put in place all across the dam to make it more solid.Also, the space on the north side of the river, near the dam, will be transformed into a park site.The metal fence between the bridge and the rest area will be repaired.A cement sidewalk will be put in along this site.And on a small earth mound, a sign saying \u2018Welcome to Huntingdon will be installed.with flowers representing the Rotary Club shield.Saint-Anicet engineer, Gilles Leblanc.has already been hired to draw the plans for the project.With the technical requirements in hand, a public call for tenders can then probably be put out in April.As was mentioned before.work could begin around May 15, to be completed by July 31 The Town of Huntingdon will profit the most from this realization.The municipal council had tried many times to obtain the money necessary to repair the dam from various departments of the Quebec government but always to Work will begin in May to restore the historical downtown dam and create a park at the site.Howick The Curling Clubs of Howick and Riverfield hosted the provincial playdowns for volunteer firemen last Friday, Saturday and

company had presented the council with a set of proposals for establishing lumber drying facilities on the present site of Regional Construction in Hemmingford Village.The company assured the council that the operation would emit neither noise nor pollution, and that there should be no more trucks involved than the number which presently travels to and from that site.It is estimated that the operation would employ approximately eight people.This proposal was discussed at the monthly council meeting, and the council gave its approval to the project on condition that the company gets the necessary permits from the Minister of the Environment.Now that it has council approval the company can proceed with applying for government permits and reaching an agreement with Regional Construction.Mr.Pierre Philion attended the meeting on behalf of the First Countrymen Boys' Club, and the council donated $150 to the club for projects and activities.The council also considered a

about $15 million worth of farm products.The year book states: *\u2018This huge amount is not all converted into cash, but a fairly good portion is, and as the days of barter are passing, the local farmer today has more cash money than was the rule a few years ago.Likewise, it is true that he spends more - for instance, there is an investment of over $3 million in automobiles\u201d THE BOOK GOES ON TO SAY - \u201cthe milch cow is the key to the general prosperity of the Chateauguay Valley district.On every farm are to be found the sleek, well-fed and well-cared for purebreds or high-class grade cows.In most of the stables, milk records are kept of the daily production of each cow, so that the best paying are being singled out.Already this area has a milk production record of 1928 pounds per cow above the Canadian average and 856 pounds per cow above the Quebec average.\u201d ALSO IN THE 1931 YEAR BOOK - \u2018The Laguerre drainage canal at present under construction in the northern section of Huntingdon County will redeem 22,000 acres of fertile land which had been rendered untillable from high waters since the construction of the dam at Valleyfield many years ago.\u201d BACK IN 1931 - the above-mentioned year book described Huntingdon\u2019s new hotel, the Chateau as \u201cthe finest rural hotel in the province of Quebec and represents a community investment of $200,000.It is a 65 room fireproof structure, with large dining room, banquet hall, private dining rooms, grill room and a large lobby.All bedrooms are connected with bath.For nine months ending with September 1st last, the Chateau proved a good investment by showing a net profit during that period of $30,000\".THE VOLUNTEER FIREMEN - of Hinchinbrooke proudly presented a cheque

Company.This company, which distributes its products locally through the W.B.Smith General Store and Keith Curran, organized the breakfast to bring growers up to date on the products which it produces and or distributes.Approximately 50 growers met at the Sugar Shack to enjoy breakfast and listen to the speakers.A representative of the Du Pont Company gave a talk on fungicides and the advantages that can be gained by using them in combinations.Brodie Blair of Ormstown spoke about products available from the Stauffer Chemical Company.Listeners were told that there is a new product on the market to treat the ground when a new apple tree is being planted to replace an old one.Agronome and apple ROCK UNTIL YOU DROP* One day I was travelling with a group of young people when the song \u201cRunning with the Devil\u201d came on the car radio.Of course, immediately they all began to tease me, saying, \u2018\u2018Allan, you'd better plug your ears\u201d and \u2018\u201cIs that your theme song?\u201d After the teasing was over, we began to talk about the type of music which appeals to the average teenager and all the violence in it.Although they assured me it was only a novelty and that they liked the music, paying little attention to the lyrics, it disturbed me.I listen to CHOM F.M.quite regularly, and am amazed by the amount of songs, especially by Heavy Metal groups, which talk of physical violence, warped sexuality and a hedonistic sense of values.Much of the language deals with a tough, devil-may- care attitude, which values nothing.and in many ways seeks to live fast, hard and die young.Many people say.especially adults, that it\u2019s rock music which influences the violence, sex and drugs which permeate teenage society, especially in urban areas.1 disagree.I feel it is the reverse.It is the society in which we live, which influences the music that these young people write and perform.In most cases the bands are made up of young people in their late teens and early twenties.Jesus would refer to them as children, innocent in many ways, child-like in their observance of the world around them.Two decades ago, the SUBARU.EB TO TEST DRIVE ONE IS TO PURCHASE ONE! Call to Worship by members of the Chateauguay Valley Ministerial Association specialist Pierre Philion discussed the process and advantages to be gained by \u2018chemical thinning\u2019 of unwanted or unsuitable apples.Growers know that their trees will produce better apples if there are fewer of them on each cluster, but so far few of them have used this method of thinning.Experiments which have been done on McIntosh trees are said to have proven very satisfactory.The meeting in Hem- | Apple growers wined and dined mingford was conducted in English, but a similar meeting for local French- speaking growers was held in St.Antoine Abbé later in the week.The Chipman Company meets with or- chardists in the province's apple-growing regions every year.After they left the Valley, company representatives were scheduled to go to the Cowansville and St.Paul D\u2019Abbotsford region to meet with growers there.Special tax on gas no good for industry Suggestions that the federal government may continue the special tax on motor fuel at the pumps and use it for \u2018\u2018other purposes\u201d than the original promise of purchasing Petro-Canada will discourage all industry cut out energy waste and reduce inflation.So says the energy conservation task force of the textile industry, a leader in the government's national conservation program.william Cowling, of Cornwall, chairman of the young people observed their coming of age by looking with wonder at love and personal relationships.Thus most of the popular songs echoed these themes.Today the groups\u2019 names have changed from the Beatles, the Monkees and the Beach Boys to names such as the Sex Pistols, Iron Maiden and Rough Trade.These young people, like our own teenagers, have grown up with the threat of nuclear annihilation, a society preoccupied with sexual titilation in the media and life in the fast lane.It is no wonder that their music is so violent, so promiscuous and full of despair.They in many ways are saying, \u201cHelp.\u201d In Psalm 103 the Psalmist writes, \u2018\u2018The Lord's love for those who honor Him lasts forever, and His goodness endures for all generations.\u201d We have seen that our society no longer honors God and the consequences are visible in the lives of the modern teenager.No longer can we blame their problems on them.We have a responsibility to help them change our world.I will continue to listen to CHOM F.M.praying that some day, the sooner the better, I will note a change once again in the soul of new music.But it will not change until we effect a change in this world.We cannot depend on any one else to take responsibility until we do.Art forms such as music only reflect the times in which we live.May God help us to change the image.L.Allan Lynk, Minister, Huntingdon United Church Pastoral Charge QUALITY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR 5 YRS OR 80,000 km WARRANTY ON THE POWER TRAIN OPEN EVERY EVENING UNTIL 9:00 P.M.VALLEYFIELD SUBARU {DIVISION OF AUTOMOBILE VALLEYFIELD NITRO) 477 BOUL.MGR.LANGLOIS, VALLEYFIELD, NITRO TEL.: 371-0322 that has been striving to task force and chief ® Little Theatre to perform Gay Cloake, Secretary Roberta Brocklehurst for CVESPA\u2019s Little Theatre reports that another fruitful meeting of the group was held Sunday at the home of Roberta Brocklehurst.The group gave a review reading of the selected play \u201cLes Belles-Soeurs\u201d and so far the results look promising.The directors of this first theatrical endeavour will be JoAnn Craft and Brandi Hershaw, assisted by the talented couple Desmond and Shirley O'Hanlan of Howick.May 10, 11 and 12 have been selected as the dates for the first production but the local has yet to be determined.Offers of assistance have been coming in at a steady pace with regards to costuming, set design and make up.The Little Theatre will be calling on this assistance in the near future.The vice-president of CVESPA, Mr.Morris King and his wife were present.Mr.King urged everyone to join CVESPA.will be looking for a permanent site for future rehearsals and meetings.The next meeting on Feb.16,7 p.m.will be a casting session and will again be held at the home of Roberta Brocklehurst 1491 Route 138A Ormstown.Membership is still open so plan to attend a fun and rewarding evening.Who knows, a star may be born!

the following article published about his brother, Dr.Tim McCoy, in the November 15, 1983 edition of the Canadian Medical Association Journal.Edwin Clarence (Tim) McCoy has kept up a pace during his protessional life that left many colleagues gasping for breath.This year he has become a senior member of the CMA, in recognition of his considerable contributions to organized medicine during three quite distinct phases of his career.Born in 1911 in Hun- tingdon, Que., Tim McCoy won the Lord Atholstan scholarship , worth $1,000, when he graduated from Huntingdon Academy in 1930.He graduated from McGill University with a BA in 1934 and an MD CM in 1939 and went on to postgraduate study in Montreal, Bermuda, Pennsylvania and Vancouver.he spent 4 years in the Canadian Navy, as a surgeon lieutenant.As a busy general practitioner in the centre of Vancouver from 1946 to EDWIN CLARENCE MC COY 1961, Dr.McCoy was on staff at Vancouver General Hospital.He soon established himself as a vigorous champion of general practitioners whom he saw as losing status as medicine became increasingly specialized.He played a major role in the establishment of the College of General Practice of Canada in 1954, and served as its president in 1962.He was also an active advocate of prepaid health plans, and served as president of Trans Canada Medical Plans (TCMP).which combined member of the CMA 10 voluntary schemes, in both 1951 and 1952.He saw TCMP as \u2018\u2018another step in the medical profession's answer to the recognized need for a national health insurance scheme\u2019, he said at the time.He was president of the Vancouver Medical Association from 1952-1953, and of the British Columbia Medical Association (BCMA) from 1959-1960.*In 1960 a committee was struck to find someone to become executive director of BCMA and I turned out to be their number one choice\u2019.Dr.McCoy recalls with characteristic good- humoured modesty.So he left his private practice and served as executive director for 14 vears.from 1975.During this period he was a high profile figure on the professional field.In 1961 he was a member of a four-man CMA delegation to Australia, to study the Australian medical plan.and in 1964 he was a member of another delegation to the Soviet Union, to look at medical services there.But in addition to the travel he was also busy improving relations between the BCMA and the provincial government.Within a short period of his appointment, he enjoved a close relationship with the Conservation job program seeks local proposals Environment 2000 Environment Minister Charles Caccia announced details of Environment 2000, the Federal Government job creation and environmental program which was announced December 7, 1983 in the Speech from the Throne.Mr.Caccia said the government is prepared to spend about $35 million on the conservation program which will also create new job opportunities for youth, and people aged 50 and over.\u201cThe program will offer new jobs, starting April, for men and women between the ages of 16 and 24.We will also make good use of the skills and experience of workers over the age of 50 to direct and train the youth .Environment 2000 will thus utilize the abundant energy of youth and the wisdom and experience of mature workers,\u2019\u2019 the Minister said.He went on to say that \u201cEnvironment 2000 will capitalize on community enthusiasm in support of conservation.Environment and nature groups, service clubs and other organizations are being asked to propose local conservation projects.Many different types of projects will be considered for funding, including the planting of seedlings, the clean-up of lakes, the creation of urban green space and wildlife protection.We will build on local initiatives, stimulate urgently needed conservation work, and, perhaps most important, raise the profile of conservation issues.\u201d Mr.Caccia said a major portion of the jobs will be allocated to forest management and renewal for such fundamental activities as planting seedlings.The forest sector in Canada accounts for one job in 10, and generates billions of dollars per year from exports.This program is part of the government's on-going effort to strengthen the forest resource which has great potential in social, economic and environmental terms.\u201cThrough Environment St.Anicet

now fellow Quebecers.In a word, it was a nightmare for the men, women and children of Port Burwell, NWT.Without previous consultation the villagers were \u2018herded like cattle onto the airplane to be shipped away at the white man\u2019s whimsy.\u201d\u201d They watched houses, church and hunting grounds disappear beneath them and the community was split apart and scattered over hundreds of arctic miles among Eskimo reserves.\u201cWould this have been possible, or even thinkable, in a white community?\u201d the author asks.White men can\u2019t understand what these people from Killiniq (\u201cthe outermost place\u2019) loved about their frozen and treeless island.But it was a community and a home where the natives said they would rather die than leave.They were clinging to cultural traditions handed down through a hundred centuries and seemed content to survive in, what appears {to \u201ccivilized Canadians,\u201d a barren wasteland.It was likely a political game between civilized Canadians that forced theKillinig Inuit to evacuate their homeland on federal territory and transfer into Quebec.It just so CY Gleaner files @ happened that in 1975 a law was passed in Quebec stating: \u2018All native claims, rights, titles and interest.are hereby extinguished.\u201d Thus in their new home the natives of Port Burwell had nothing.Imagine the frustration and anger of a people who, because they did not know the rules of the political game, automatically wound up losing.The Port Burwell Inuit had no idea that political boundaries even existed between Quebec and the Northwest Territories.With lifestyles of hunters and fishermen they had no need to know - that is, until the rule makers made Killiniq Island part of the political playing field.Only politics can fight politics.That means the voices of sensitive Canadians must be heard.Journalists like Bob Dawson can only expose the problems; it takes readers like you to react and cry out for solutions.Dig out your February 1 Gleaner and read the centerfold feature.Then act on your reaction by writing a letter of support to the Quebec Inuit Association: Mary Simon, President of Makivik, Box 179, Kuujjuaq, P.Q JOM1Co.Inuits hold a special place in the hearts of many local people.For many years Ormstown\u2019s hospital cared for the Inuits that had contacted white man\u2019s diseases.Many exchanges of Boy Scout groups and clubs have offered the opportunity for our youth to get to know their fellow countrymen of the north.Two such exchanges are coming up next week as Ormstown Elementary students host students from Payne Bay and the Hem- mingford Boy Scouts travel to Suglug.PN 100 years ago (From The Canadian Gleaner of Thursday, Feb.14, 1884) HEMMINGFORD NEWS The long-wished-for and sorely needed thaw has at last visited us.The snow drifts have been greatly lessened in height in consequence, and the roads materially improved.People hereabouts are taking advantage of the improvement in the condition of our highways to get their usual winter work done and movements of fuel, hay straw, etc.are lively and frequent.Prices of wood are about the same this winter as last, altho the use of coal in the village has slightly increased and the Railway Co.have discontinued the purchase of wood.Some wood, at fairly remunerative prices, has been sent by rail to Laprairie and St Constant.BEST IN THE DOMINION The entertainment given by the Brass Band [in Ormstown] on Monday evening was of rare excellence.No expense or trouble had been spared to make it a success.Their efforts were largely assisted by James, son of J.W.Bryson, who is at present on a visit.His great artistic skill in painting scenery, ornamenting the stage, elicited high commendation.One of the best features of the evening\u2019s entertainment was his penciling portraits with singular rapidity, suchas our Queen, Sir John A., etc.These were tastefully executed in half a minute.The audience was taken by surprise, as the sheets were thrown off as if by magic.Such are the artistic talents of this young gentleman, that it is doubtful if the Dominion has his equal.50 years ago (From The Huntingdon Gleaner of Wednesday, Feb.14, 1884) TIRED OF THE RADIO A some what surprising statement was made by a man recently in discussing last year\u2019s business.His trade is largely in used and new furniture and he said that in 1933 he sold seven pianos and eight organs.This was the largest year's business in that line since 1918-19, he said.It appeared to him that there was a demand for manually operated instruments again and that some people were getting tired of the radio.THE LEANER ROUGH GAME Hockey games at Hemmingford have developed into a serious matter and fisticuffs are usually as much in evidence as hockey.On Tuesday night Lacolle played a game on Hemmingford rink when both teams were equally determined to win and members were not absolutely particular about the brand of hockey they played.In one of the clashes.Florian Dauphinais had the misfortune to have a leg broken.ROGER H.DAOUST PRESIDENT SECOND CLASS MAIL REGISTRATION NO.0733 U.S.REG NO USPS 580.200 *CNA THE LE ADING ADVERTISING ME ORM IN THE CHATE AUGUAY VALLE Y PUBLISHED BY THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER INC, Qo -

AnD YOU MADE THEM YOURSELVES.WHERE DID YOU FIND SUCH PRETTY MATERIAL P 15 09 BY Letters Trails for horseback riding to create jobs With reference to your editorial of January 25, entitled \u201cJobs Offer\u201d, 1 would like to suggest a possible way to provide summer employment, improve the environment and delight horseback riders in the Hin- chinbrooke, Dewittville and Ormstown areas (and other areas if possible).My suggestion would be to have some trails planned throughout the region that horseback riding enthusiasts could use.Some paths or lanes already exist which tractors etc.regularly use on their way to adjoining fields.There are often wooded areas that would be ideal for a bridle path.With permission from the property-owners (many of which keep horses themselves), perhaps some trails could be made in these wooded areas.It goes without saying that riders granted the use of the trails would be restricted to the allotted riding areas and would not at any time trespass onto seeded fields, etc.The trails could double as cross-country ski trails in the winter.I would imagine that the first step in a project of this sort would be to plan a few possible trails, then to obtain permission from the property owners.Next, if there are branches or bush to be trimmed or cleared, students could be hired or volunteers (riders) could be recruited for the work.If it were found to be necessary, perhaps riders could pay membership fees for the privilege of using the trails, which fees could be put to use for occasional maintenance of trails or other appropriate expenses.I would appreciate hearing if this idea is plausible or not.Thank you.Mireille Dion Will trees be replaced?Last week we read about tree-butchering in a private yard.What about trees being cut down by the road department?Recently I have noticed: many trees having been cut down along Highway 138, west of Huntingdon.As they did not interfere with electrical or telephone wiring, and even last summer appeared to be normal, healthy trees, with a lot of foliage, I fail to see the reason for all this wanton destruction! Even one maple, which was beautiful last fall with all Road salt: its glorious colors, was among the lot.Surely not all these trees were diseased or endangering the public.This poses several questions.Who authorizes the removal of these trees?Could this be a winter works project on behalf of our Government to keep the department busy?Will these trees be replaced this year?It takes many years to grow a tree, but only a few minutes to destroy one.What was once a highway lined with beautiful trees will now be one bordered only by ugly stumps.Obviously, none of the people in charge -of.» destroying these objects of beauty have ever read the poem \u201cTrees\u2019\u2019, which states that \u201cOnly God can make a tree\u2019.À final thought - whoever still has beautiful trees along their roads - enjoy them while you can.Next year it may be your turn! À concerned citizen [Name withheld upon request] a luxury we can all do without The following are a few comments which I thought you may be interested in, concerning the widespread use of salt in this province.Recent economie circumstances have made it obvious that there are certain luxuries in our daily lives which are simply too expensive.1 believe that one of these is the privilege of driving on summer-like roads in the middle of winter.We have come to expect that regardless of the season, all our roads should be bare and void of all traces of winter.1 personally am not interested in paying the price for this luxury.1 would prefer to slow down a bit and drive on a snow packed surface in winter.as so many people before us have done.The benefits of not using, or substantially reducing the use of salt and perhaps increasing the use of sand or other non-corrosive Bus left On Saturday.Feb.3, the bus left Howick for Hun- tingdon at 5 p.m instead of 5:20.as stated in the schedule Because of this | had to drive my daughter to Huntingdon.I have been commuting to Montreal abrasive would be felt by everyone.The economic impact could affect your tax bill.Havelock, a rather small municipality in the past two months spent about $9.000.just on road salting.Although there are certain peculiar situations in Havelock (Covey Hill furnishes a very steep grade and some different weather conditions than the rest of the surrounding area), this figure will give some idea of the dollars to be saved.Some municipalities already have minimized the use of salt and you have to admit, they are pleasant to drive through.You can\u2019t drive at 60 miles an hour on these roads but perhaps they too can help to put a little more sanity in this fast-paced world of ours Environmentally, we have all seen the Voirie cutting up and hauling away some century old too early since 1972 and never heard of a bus leaving before the stated time.Because buses do not go downtown, as all our previous buses did, we are now forced to pay $24 per month extra to get to work.roadside maples.I am sure that the amount of salt we see spread on the highways is a contributing factor.I have also heard of people living near intersections who have had their surface wells rendered unusable from salt.I am sure mother nature would breath a sigh of relief if we took the action to curb our prolific use of salt.And imagine what your motor vehicule would be like it if it rarely encountered salt.Our present situation sure makes the automobile a throw away item.Perhaps the automobile could once again be a life-time purchase.South of the border, the secondary roads are all very passable and are also void of salt.Sand is a lot cheaper.If they can do it, why can\u2019t we?We don't have anything to lose and perhaps we may just make this a better place to live.Gerald Beaudoin St-Chrysostome Why cannot the buses follow the same routes taken for years by Provincial Transport and MUCTC?The Hem- mingford bus can do it!

Regional High School, at CVR.After an exhausting effort, the midget girls were forced to endure the disheartening effects of a 30-27 loss against a team that hardiy played better.Janice Chaplin played a strong consistent game and was the Spartans\u2019 high scorer with 10 well deserved points.On February 6, the midget girls finally demonstrated the awesome potential of their team.as visiting Massey-Vanier high school was easily defeated.The midget girls took an early lead in the game which grew into a 20- 14 margin by the end of the first half.After competing in an exhibition tournament prior to this game, the girls finally seemed able to coordinate offence with defence as in the second half, the Spartans scored an incredible 30 points while restricting MV to 10 additional points.The final score was 50-24.Sandra Valantin and Debbie Sample tied for high scorer.each sinking 5 baskets or 10 points.Kim Bower and Janice Chaplin also played admirably, each scoring 8 points.On Feb.9, the midget girls faced the equal calibre team of Chambly County High School and played very well throughout the first three quarters.Although they had not scored much, neither had CCHS.With a minute and 30 seconds remaining in the game, the score was displayed as 17- 11 in favor of CVR.Suddenly CCHS came to life and broke easily through the Spartan defence, setting up numerous scoring opportunities.When the excitement subsided, the midget girls stood aghast as CCHS had won 22-21.The team played very well for the duration of the game except for those last 90 seconds.by Nadeem Moghal Perhaps this result gives a clear indication as to what slim margins \u201cwins\u201d and \u2018losses\u2019 are decided.Janice Chaplin and Debbie Sample were CVR's high scorers, each securing 6 points for the team Midget Girls Excel at Tournament On February 3 and 4, the midget girls participated in an exhibition basketball tournament at Centennial Regional High School.The first game was played on February 3 against Verdun, a talented team never seen before by the midget girls.Realizing their predicament of usually losing by a narrow margin, the girls decided upon playing to the best of their abilities.As the game progressed, the midget girls did indeed play to their potential as the entire team seemed as one, combining the finer elements of offence with those of defence.A final score of 52-36 displayed a proud effort on behalf of the midget girls.Kim Bower and Debbie Sample palyed an excellent game, scoring 13 and 8 points respectively.Overall, this game finally seemed to mark the turning point in the midget girls career, whereby they could beat almost any team they faced.On Saturday, Feb.4 the midget girls once again found strong opposition - this time in the form of a team from Aimé-Renaud.Once again the Spartans played remarkably well, their performance being highlighted by a great play from the Grade 7 players.Katica Kapas and Martine Lalonde are only two of the several Grade 7 players who performed admirably under pressure.As the game progressed.CVR led the play and seemed assured of victory.Yet, all seemed uncertain at one moment as Spartan Linda Brown suffered a concussion while attempting to rebound.She was taken to a hospital while her teammates carried the score to a 36-20 win over Aimé Renaud.St.Anicet TELEVISION HITACHI Seles and Service Specialty COLOR J.L.DANCAUSE T.V.Tel: 264-2565 C.V.R.curlers are Regional Champions On the weekend of Feb.4 and 5, the District 3 Junior Mixed Curling Championship took place in Ormstown.In this competition, six teams representing Howard S.Billings, Lacolle, and CVR assembled to vie for the spot of regional champion and the right to compete in the prestigious Quebec Curling Provincial.Two CVR teams were entered in th competition, and both teams performed admirably.One team, led by skipper and veteran curler Terry Golphin, and comprised of Lisa Hampton, Mike Amos, and Karen Nussey, performed exceptionally well, defeating Lacolle in the final game 114, to win first place and the regional title.The second CVR team led by skipper Ross Laurie, and composed of Lea Anne Godin, Peter Andert, and Margaret Ledderhof did not fare as well as the first team, but did compete skillfully.For CVR's championship team, their next competition will be in Howick or Ormstown, on Feb.18 and 19, at the Quebec Curling Provincials.The last game of the tournament was played immediately after the Aimé-Renaud win, against a very strong Le Moyne team.Because of the injury to Linda Brown, Coach Rick Laverty was unable to attend this game and coach his young team.Sizing up the situation, the midget girls took matters into their own hands and performed very well.One can no longer call the team inexperinced.Aside from a few problems, the girls competed very well and struggled all the way down to an unfortunate 38-27 loss.Debbie Sample, Janice Chaplin and Sandra Valantin performed exceptionally in this game that could have gone either way.Overall, the tournament was an enormous success.Midget Boys Basketball On Feb.1, CVR's strong midget boys team was confronted by an even stronger visiting team from Centennial Regional High School.If the Spartans could beat CRHS, they would definitely have a shot \u2018at a forgotten first place.With this in mind, the midget boys emerged on the court ready to play regardless of the physical cost.The game began closely as the score was a deadlocked 14-14 after the first quarter.At the end of the first half, twelve points separated the two teams - an almost unbridgeable gap: yet the Spartans drove on.Finally, the game was over and CRHS stood victorious 77-47 over CVR.Despite this loss, coach Norm Woods is proud of his team\u2019s amazing progression and high scorer, Chris Kingsbury garnished an incredible 20 points to add luster to the Spartan name.On February 6, the tables were turned for the midget bcvs, as it was visiting Massey-Vanier that met up with an incessant onslaught.If anything can be said about this game, perhaps it is that the Spartans completely dominated all aspects of the game.An agile and precise offence, comprised of endless interceptions and numerous drives through the Massey-Vanier defence, created an impressive 61 point score for the Spartans.An almost inpenetrable defence was set up which only allowed 2 GUN SAFETY COURSE AS REQUIRED BY THE LICENCING BODY OF THE MINISTERE DE LOISIRS CHASSE ET PECHE FOR HUNTERS WITH LIONEL LEGER, INSTRUCTOR SUNDAY, APRIL 15, 1984 9:00 A.M.TO

FEBRUARY 15 1984 CVR.from page 7 games of the season.At the start of the game, both teams appeared equal in calibre, yet as the game progressed, it became apparent that neither team could easily penetrate through the opposition\u2019s defence.As a result CRHS resorted to shooting from outside the key, and clearly excelled in this area.The Spartans, on the other hand, could not get the momentum to carry the same type of offence.Unfortunately the game ended 51-27 in favor of CRHS.On Feb.6, the juvenile girls were forced to contend with the most powerful team in S.S.1.A A.basketball this year, as Massey-Vanier High School travelled to CVR.In this game, the juvenile girls played much better than their previous game to CRHS, but lacked the necessary experience and hours of practice to beat Massey-Vanier.However, they did battle throughout the duration of the game.Susan Ellerton and Kim Sample performed very well, each scoring 8 points for the Chateauguay Valley 55-30 was in effect not as disappointing as it appears, for the juvenile girls managed to hold their own against this very strong team.On Feb.9, one of the most frustrating and disappointing games of the year took place at CVR, as visiting Chambly County High School upset CVR in the final minutes of play.The game began extremely well as CVR led and had restricted CCFS to only 13 points after the first half of play.However, an incredible upset soon occurred as the Spartan defense seemed to lose all substance in the second half and allowed CCHS to score an incredible 32 points.Kim Sample played excellent basketball as she pumped in 14 points for the Spartans.Unfortunately, the senior girls lost 45-44, having victory practically seized from their hands and placed upon CCHS.Juvenile Boys Basketball On Feb.1, the supreme Centennial Regional High School basketball team arrived at CVR to challenge the senior boys to 30 minutes of rigourous competition.CRHS, by far the best team in the S.SI.A.A., did not immediately dominate the quarter, wherein their first string was activated.Although CRHS seems utterly unbeatable, the senior boys from CVR did harass the team enough to slow them down, as well as perform well themselves.Walter Lach scored an amazing 22 points - 2 points being earned following a drive down the center of the court accompanied with a one-handed dunk.Overall, the team played well, and every player on the team contributed to the Spartan\u2019s respectable 92-48 loss to CRHS.On Feb.6 visiting A girls\u2019 hockey tournament between eight teams will take place at the Huntingdon Regional Arena this coming Saturday, Feb.18.This is an annual event organized by the Hun- tingdon girls\u2019 team, the Goal Diggers.Four teams from the province of Quebec and Massey Vanier High School was subjected to the firm yet very effective offence of the senior boys.The Spartans were quick in assuming a lead, and were also very efficacious in setting up offensive and defensive patterns.Walter Lach and Charles Clement led CVR\u2019s staff of high scorers, garnishing 19 and 17 points respectively David Hill did a fine job as guard as he also added 14 points to the CVR score.Final score was 59-44.On Feb.9, an exciting game took place at CVR, as visiting Le Moyne Girls\u2019 hockey tourney four from Ontario will battle it out on Saturday to try and secure first place
