sugarbush.He was proud of those five acres.and he was proud of the close to 35 acres of old growth sugar maple containing some trees nearly three feet in diameter.90 to 100 feet in height.many of them at least 50 years older than he.In another woodlot large- crowned butternuts were a tribute to his great interest in reforestation.Roy Blair's grandfather purchased the farm in the year of

Field Day fund-raiser Phillip Norton THE GLEANER Parents kidnapping their own children and attempting to enter Canada have been stopped on numerous occasions by Customs agents in this area.Since last April two children have been picked up on a train at Cantic and another on a buss at Blackpool on Autoroute 15.With such good detective work, at the border, staff- persons at the Missing Children\u2019s Network in Montreal, and elsewhere, can feel that their work is worthwhile.(See related article).Volunteers are also an important part of the Network, raising money and keeping on the alert for the children on photo posters and shown on television and on grocery bags.For instance, RCMP Border Patrol officer Gordon Kowalchuk.took pledges earlier this spring for a weight loss marathon.After successfully taking off 15 pounds in short order, he collected from donors for the Missing Children\u2019s Network, Hemmingford BBQ Cathy Brownridge is also doing her part for the Network.As Superintendent at the Blackpool Customs, and an avid softball player in Hemmingford.she has organized a **Canada Customs Field Day in the village to raise money that will help find the children.The big day is set for August 25 and will feature an all-day softball tournament, a Barbecued Chicken SUpper, and a dance.This event comes on the weekend following Hemming- ford's Old Home Week.Competing in the softball tourney are teams from the Montreal Gazette, CJMS Radio.the RCMP, the U.S.Border Patrol, Canadian and American Customs.and Canadian and American IMmigration.Games begin around 10 a.m.The supper starts at § p.m.and tickets must be purchased in advance from Gail Rollo at 348-2446.Luc Béland at 245-0171 or the Customs office at 246-3833.\u201cThe Commiued™ will be the

SUCCESS.oe, RANA BI AU File photo.Phillip \u201corton Photos of missing children are posted at Canadian Customs offices where Border Patrol agents like Gordon Kowalchuk periodically check in.The Missing Children\u2019s Network The Missing Children\u2019s Network is a non-profit organization whose mandate is to assist parents in the search for their missing children, while sensitizing the public on this issue.With the endorsement of the Solicitor General of Canada the Missing Children\u2019s Network receives the support and cooperation of the RCMP and provincial and municipal police forces across Canada.The organization's excellent reputation has crossed the Canadian border and many law enforcement agencies and community groups in the United States and Europe seek assistance in international abductions.Since 1985, sixty-four missing children have been returned through the direct efforts of the Network.This is an impressive number considering that one often has to search the four corners of the globe to find a missing child.This success is due to the effective \u2018networking\u2019 built up over the years.Once a child is registered missing the Network immeditely brings the case to the attention of border, police and Immigration officials at all possible locations, while posters and flyers are produced and widely distributed.Beyond maintaining open lines of communication with authorities and media throughout Europe and the United States.the Network offers special services to parents.Documentation is available explaining the steps they can take to help in the search for their children.Further, with a bank of top-notch lawyers, psychologists and educators the Network is able to refer families to counseling services they need whether their child is still missing or has been recently returned.Less formal than front-line professionals, parents are able to seek support from other parents who are or have been in the same situation.We offer our facilities at no charge for these support groups.Action Defence Nature group addresses Special Delegates Bureau The A.D.N.(Action Defence Nature) environmental group sent a letter to the Special Delegates Bureau mandated to develop a domestic waste management policy.The group asked when will there be a call for bids for a recycling centre.NO SWEAT: FITNESS WITHOUT EXERCISE.You don\u2019t need a sweat suit to

Violence has attracted protes- sional attention from all over Canada and abroad.This unique and successful program to combat wife abuse shows what a community seriously interested in curbing the battering of women can do.recycling boxes.and a publicity campaign to sensitize the population to recycle?The group made mention of the proposed St.Lawrence county incinerator project.like the one promoted by the Bureau.which was cancelled due to strong opposition from the people.They wondered if the Burcau would continue for much longer promoting the incinerator without consulting the Valleyfield and South-West Quebec Population.A $60 million expense to built an incinerator js arguable since they believe the general consensus of the population is that the burning of wastes is archaic: and wonder when the mayors will understand that other solutions are necessary.The majority of recycling groups in the region are asking for a serious study of different waste management techniques other than incineration.The A.D.N.offered its entire collaboration to the Special Delegates Bureau to assist with a recycling program.Marshall and Jean Hooker celebrate 50th anniversary by

LY «6 Mutnaue SLT) Ov QUEBEC PUF i® is Eu THE ABC\u2019S OF STREET VIOLENCE Azerbaijan, Beirut, Chateauguay.These are the new ABC's of street violence around the world.Over the past week Chateauguay's image of a clean-cut suburban community has been shattered by the tensions surrounding the barricaded Mercier Bridge.While media accounts of thé Cha- teauguay Valley have always referred to this as \u2018Quebec's beautiful, forgotten region\u2019, events of recent days have, unfortunately.etched an unforgettable and ugly name for us which all Canadians have seen.Police riot squads.citizens hurling bricks, and streets in a fog of tear gas are what the world is seeing of Southwest Quebec.Visiting the barricaded Route 138 last Saturday night one could sense the instability of the situation.While most of the 4,000 present were simply watching and waiting for something to erupt, others had obviously arrived with the intention of stirring up trouble.Fist fighting and screaming matches broke out.motorcycles roared, a huge fire was lit in the street and beer flowed.While the followers of Solidarité Chateauguay have some legitimate complaints against Mohawk Warriors and Government negotiators.the groups mission has been misdirected by the involvement of other fringe groups.The presence of motorcycle gangs.the Ku Klux Klan and hoodlums who seem to have some grudge against Quebec police officers are the real problem outside the Indian barricades.For their part.the police are at nerves\u2019 end: they were brutal with protesters Sunday in St.Louis-de- Gonzague, protesters who claim their methods are non-violent.The Kahnawake Mohawk barricade at Chateauguay holds a sign: \"We're no angels.\u201d That statement could easily apply to many of the whites taking part in the protests.Truc.the media tends to focus on the bad actors.the noisiest members.the 125 years ago (From The Canadian Gleaner of Friday, August 11.1865) General Grant has been favouring Canada with a visit.At Quebec and Montreal.every respect was shown the distinguished soldier.He is reported 10 have spoken quite freely to his visitors with regard to Mexican affairs.Owing to some unlocked for tatooed and long-haired roughnecks.But to ignore this element.as members of Solidarité demand of reporters, would be to close our eyes to a very frightening development in this issue.Journalists who venture into the mobs, especially photographers and cameramen.literally risk life and limb.And, according to Solidarité members who spoke anonymously to The Gleaner.the English media is particularly on their black list since the citizens have been portrayed as racists who burn effigies of Indians.Some reports have even gone as far as to relate this incident to the treatment of anglophones by French Canadians.Bad will is being seeded all around us and even when the barricades do come down.the entire Chateauguay Valley is going to feel the effects of this conflict for a long time.If you have been thinking that Cha- teauguay is far away and you won't be affected.remember that our Protestant School Board includes 150 Mohawk youth who attend Howard S.Billings High School.We're linked together and if those students fail to attend school later this month.what will be the implications of reduced enrolment and staff already hired to teach?It is also wise to note that while the violence has centered on the City of Chateauguay.there have already been important incidents in St.Chrysos- tome and St.Louis-de-Gonzague.real close to home.We are also neighbours to three Mohawk territories - Ganiekeh near Altona.Akwesasne near Hogansburg.and Kahnawake - and some of \u2018\u2019our\u2019\u2019 land in the Haut St.Laurent district has been claimed by the Native Nation.Let\u2019s hope that our involvement in this ongoing issue will be less antagonistic and much more compassionate to the many cultures concerned than have the impatient factions now doing battle.P.N.delavs the Great Eastern did not leave Ireland as soon as expected.everything being put to rights, the Great Eastern sailed.paving out the cuble as she went along.In the 28th July, a

PLANTED ONE SEED.15 - 8.ÿ0 One step forward, two steps backward For many years our community has been seeking a locale where our young people can meet and enjoy themselves in a well supervised and liquor/drug-free environment.Finally.on the initiating of the Maison des Jeunes.arrangements were completed in conjunction with the Bamboo Bar to allow children in the 12-16 yr.age group to get together for music and dancing (or \u2018\u2019visiting\u201d as the local jargon goes) from (8 p.m.-1 a.m.For several weeks now the kids have been enjoying themselves and equally important.their parents know where they are.and are not worried.There have been no problems whatsoever, and in additional parents and provincial police have dropped in to ensure that no liquor or any alcoholic beverages are being consumed or served and that the children are behaving.Such has been the case.Suddenly and as the result of a resolution passed at the town council meeting of August 6th.a letter was sent by the town to the Maison des Jeunes president, advising them to discontinue such activities for our kids at the Bamboo.as it is a licensed premise.It is my understanding that this action was prompted by two or three persons who lodged an objection to the Maison des Jeunes.On reading the town\u2019s letter.I contacted our mayor Mr.Gerald Brisebois to get some input as to why the town had decided to send this letter to the Maison des Jeunes recommending the discontinuation of the activities at the Bamboo.Mr.Brise- bois\u201d comment was that it was done only for the reason that the Bamboo is a licensed premise.I will conclude by saying the following: The Maison des Jeunes is a respectable government-sponsored organization.administered and coordinated by dedicated people who have the interests of both the community and children at heart.- Finally I have suggested 10 the mayor that he and his council drop in for a visit on Wednesday at the Bamboo to observe our kids \u2026 over 100.Having a great time in a trouble and alcohol-free environment.| recommend that the town council take the time to properly assess the situation before baking any future action which may be detrimental to the welfare and interests of our kids.Ian de S.Bossé Huntingdon Heritage Hemmingford voices concerns over development With the events of August Ist last at the Scriver House/Frontier Inn.Heritage Hemmingford is of the belief that some very careful thought be exercised prior to the changing use of the land.With respect to the development.culture, tradition and historical perspectives of this community.Heritage Hemming- ford would request that the village council make assurances that the site in question be subjected to very careful scrutiny when the granting of land use permits are issued.As we rapidly approach the 21st century.we would ask that when a permit is requested.the council see that any construction projects blend with the size and character of the remaining houses on Frontière street.It is this architectural fabric that enriches our community by giving it a graphic demonstration of how people lived yesterday and also by providing the texture that cannot be replicated without careful thought.This arca of Hemming- ford is so fortunate to have such a treasure of handsome buildings which formed the beginnings of this community.At this time, Heritage Hemmingford is willing to be of your assistance in this important project.Heritage Hemmingford Inc.Heritage Hemmingford sent this letter to the Hemmingford Village Council voicing their concern about the future of the Scriver House/Frontiere Inn property.I'heir hope is that others in the Hemmingford Community will show their concerns re this heritage property.Disgusting treatment of
