can close down when local business is bad.\u201cUnfortunately, that connection is not made when people cross the border to shop™\u2019, said Hudon.\u201cWhat it amounts to is that we must all face up to our responsibilities.\u201d Conference organizer Diane Ford of the Chamber of Commerce opined that lowering the price of gasoline in Quebec might induce local motorists to shopathome instead of in the U.S.where muchlower petroleum prices are a prime attraction.Hudon responded that \u201cbesides income tax, the main things we could tax down through the years were luxury items such as gus, Photo:

forties because it was a luxury item then,\u201d he reminded.Automobile dealer Lawrence Bergevin accused the media of \u201cnot helping\u2019\u2019 solve the cross-border shopping problem.\u201cThey nobody writes the price differences between U.S.and Canadian shopping,\u201d he charged.\u201cBut nobody writes that the differences are not that great.The local media should try to discourage people from shopping in the us.\u201d Hudon failed to take the bait, however.It\u2019s not the media\u2019s fault,\u201d he insisted.\u201cPeople just read into a story whateverthey wanttoread.\u201d See page 2 Huntingdon Council news Critchley elected president of urbanism committee Dan Rosenburg Ronald Critchley has been elected president of the Huntingdon urbanism consultation committee and Denise Plourde was elected vice-president.This was announced by Councillor Francine Lalonde at the monthly Town Council meeting last March 3.Asked by uefeated mayoral candidate James Atkinson whether the Town has taken a stand on the \u201cspecial tax\u2019\u2019 problem regarding services for the Bouchette Development project and Cunningham Street project, Lalonde replied: \u201cMy propositions that the contractors must pay or be sued forthe money, rather than the Town billing residents.\u201d Mayor Gérald Brisebois took a different stance, saying \u201cthe bill must be paid by one or the other.\u201d But his Council agreed with Lalonde.\u201cI've always been in favor of suing the promolers.as long as it was mentioned in the contract\u201d (that they were required to pay for the services), said Marielle Duhème.\u201cThey (the promoters) violated their declarations.\u201d André Brunette shared Lalonde\u2019s opinion and Normand Nadeau went along with it.Councillors Yvan Cadoret and Georges Lazure were absent.Cadoret was holidaying in the sunny south and Lazure is recu- Ormstown Guiding\u2019s celebration of Thinking Day To celebrate Thinking Day, the Ormstown Brownies invited the Guides and Pathfinders to learn about Tanzania - the groups twinning project.Special guest for the evening was Sister Anita MacWilliam; sister-in-law of Pat MacWilliam, Tawny Owl.Sister Anita went from Montreal to Ossinning, New York to join the Order of Mayroll Sisters.She graduated from Columbia University with degrees in anthropology and linguistics.Then she was sent to Tanzania as a missionary teacher.For many years she was in charge of language schools where Europeans were taught Swahili so they in turn could teach their technology to the Tanzaneans.More recently she has been working at the University of Dat is Salaan, where in conjunction with a Tanzanian women, she compiled an English/Swahili dictionary.Their current project is lo compile a French/Kiswahili dictionary for the French Embassy Kiswahili is the trade language which the government is promoting so that people of many dialicts can communicate.The Brownies greeted her with \u201cKaribu\u201d which means \u201cWelcome\u201d in Swahili.Sister Anita pointed out on a world map where Tanzania is in relation to Canada.Then she showed slides of the country and some woven baskets and abony carvings.The theme for the evening was what it is like for a girl growing up in Tanzania.The audience was asked how they help at home and the comparison was made to life in Tanzania.She described how they start as young as three with little cups of water and progress until they can carry full size containers on their heads.The older children help with the younger one as the whole family works in the fields.To show Tanzanian textiles, sister Anita wore a batix outfit with typical jewelry.She also showed a pair of tongas and demonstrated how it was worn.A tonza is a printed square of cloth, with a saying on it which is wapped as a skirt, but is used in many ways to transport what is picked in the fields or whatever else has to be carried.A second square is used as a top or a head- covering or tied in a certain way to carry an infant on the mother\u2019s back.The children also carry their home made corn husk dolls in the same manner.Sister Anita concluded by asking the girls to always remember the saying on her tonga.\u201cA woman's beauty lies not in her face but in her character.\u201d Ainsley McKell, Brown Owl thanked Sister Anita and presented her with a gift of Girl Guide soap.Ainsley asked her to deliver cards, which the Brownies had made, to Brownies and Guides in Tanzania.The evening ended with refreshments provided by the Local Association.Pat MacWilliam

meeting should to solve the problem unnecessary.for now.\u201cWe'll try it (the refund) and see what happens,\u2019\u2019 conceded the Mayor.To a question from the floor Brisebois said that a contract has been signed between the Transport Ministry and a contractor to install long-awaited lights on Henderson Street Bridge.\u201cThe contractor has eight weeks to do the work between Feb.4 and April 4,\u201d said the Mayor.\u201cYou\u2019ll be congratulating us soon.\u201d Another major issue involved a rezoning bylaw modification that would enable promoter Georges Lavoie to build an unspecified project on a field bounded by Francois Clen St., Dalhousie St, and the second railroad track.The only fly in the ointment was that at a public consultation held especially for that purpose on Feb.24, Lavoie didn\u2019t show up to explain exactly what he has in mind as far as the nature of his project is concerned.\u201cHe was supposed to answer questions regarding his intentions,\u2019 the Mayor announced, \u201cand the Council won't proceed (with amending the zoning bylaw) until such time as he does that.We have in writing that the Council decided no shopping centre is wanted there, but we ve received no further word from Lavoie.\u201d Brisebois said that if Lavoie appears at a consultation as promised, \u201cwe\u2019ll go ahead with it (the dezoning).But the Town will then open the register for a two-day period, giving citizens the right to vote for a referendum, or against the project and bylaw change.Andifthe people decide that, what can we do?\" Lalonde noted the opposition of most existing merchants to a new shopping centre, saying: \u201cSome people may be of the opinion that some merchants are against free enterprise, but I find the local merchants are right.A new shopping centre would hurt their business.\u201d André Castagnier, president of the Huntingdon Merchants Association, reminded that the promoter \u201cmust pay for the cost of the re-zoning modification himself\" after being absent from the Feb.24 consultation.\u201cThe investor should have >» been here,\u2019 commented Brunette.\u201cIf he\u2019s not interested, we\u2019re passing the bylaw for nothing.\u201d Another highlight of the Council meeting was a difference of opinion between homeowner Denis Dorais and Town inspector Jacques Perreault.Dorais insisted that when he received his construction permit to build a garage at his home, he was givenno letter fromthe Town explaining the conditions to him.Perreault countered by saying that he handed Dorais the letter, but that the latter failed to read it.\u201cWhen people ask for a building permit, they must also be furnished with a list of items we require,\u201d Lalonde explained.\u201cOtherwise, there is lots of confusion.\u201d\u2019 Perreault then left the room and came back with a copy ofaletterdated Oct.15, 1991 addressed to Dorais.The latter said he only received the letter four months later.Perreault testified that he asked Dorais fora certificate of location, as per Town policy.\u201cIt\u2019sinthe letter,\u2019 he noted.With that, Dorais handed over his plans at the Council meeting, prompting Perreault to comment, \u201cYou never showed me these before.\u2019 \u201cif the plans had been turned over earlier, it would have solved the problem,\u201d Lalonde remarked.Duhéme questioned the expense of $750-$800 for a smoke \u2018\u2018ejector\u2019\u2019 fan for the local fire department.\u201cIt\u2019s in the budget,\u201d the Mayor replied.Duhème also corrected a statement attributed to her about the delay of repairs on the Walker Street Bridge.Instead of saying, \u201cI hope it doesn\u2019t take another two monthstodoit,\u201d\u2019 she recalled saying that the problem \u201chas been going on for two months.\u201d Pedestrian killed in H\u2019don A 60 year-old man was killed on Monday, March 9 when an automobile struck him on Lake Street in Huntingdon around 7:20 p.m.The victim is Florian Deschambeault, who resided at 103 Lake Street.The driver of the car, Eric Mainville, is also a Lake Steet resident.Surete du Quebec agent Michel Leroux from the Huntingdon detachment is in charge of the police inquiry.His report will be submitted to Coroner Lambert from a decision.Mr.Deschambeault was taken to the Barrie Memorial Hospital by Ambulance Montpetit where Dr.Blonde

sometimes the Quebec flag or the Town flag look worse than the Canadian flag.\u201cYou can*t change it every day,* he said.\u201cWe wait till they*re really torn up.\u2019 The cost of changing the flags two or three times a year can add up to as much as $300, he said.Earth Circus coming to H\u2019ford Children and teenagers in Hemmingford will have the opportunity to participate in a circus this spring under the direction of a professional in theatre and clowning.Ezzell Floranina who moved to the village last year is offering instruction in the arts of stilt-walking, mask-making and clowning around beginning today, March 11 at he Recration Center from 4 to 6 p.m.The courses and practice sessions for the upcoming circus are open to-all ages;

NORTON, VALERIE FURCALL, CYRIL ALARY AA ro #.Editorial 5 i There are three things that Canadians will never escape: death, taxes, and the debate over language and national unity.Even leaving the country is no way out of the latter.Canadians returning from southern vacations deropped off news clippings at The Gleaner this week from such papers as the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times.Yes, way out in southern California a front page article featured our silly sign laws and our internal, eternal bickering over who\u2019s more distinct - francophones, native people, or some other ethnic group which makes up this country.At home, news of the Equality and Option Canada Parties seeking new leadership keeps the age-old debate alive.In the opposing camp, the Parti Québécois cites polls showing solid support for Quebec sovereignty.Déja vu, anyone?As for taxes, it\u2019s time to be finishing up your forms for Revenu Quebec and Revenu Canada.Even cross- broder shoppers can\u2019t avoid these.After a year of G.S.T.and renewed enforcement of the Q.S.T., most would agree that we have good reason to bark about too many taxes.But a flashback in time via The NO ESCAPE Huntingdon Gleaner of 50 years ago shows us that we don\u2019t have it all that bad.Why, in ancient times, people sold children to pay their taxes.\u201c.in the 11th century each count had to give his king eight horses, with four of them saddled and bridled, equipped with breastplates, helmets, lances, shields and swords.Well, you say, there weren\u2019t many counts.True, but England was populated with vassals whose little tokens to their immediate overlords, were the horses that belonged to their father on the day of the father\u2019s death.It sounds as if a smart lawyer could find a loophole there, but no.\u201d \u201c.Every fisherman casting his net in Norwegian waters had to give the Danish king five fish, which must have been extremely inconvient for those who caught only four, or two, or no fish.\u201d Other taxation methods included the Czar taxing beards and the English taxing windows.\u201c.This all leads up to the obvious conclusion that whether you prefer your taxes direct or indirect, hidden or obvious, severe or light, your ancestors paid them and often to a tyrant, and you will keep on paying them.\u201d 125 years ago .(From the Canadian Gleaner of Friday, March 9, 1866) .England Even lunatic Asylums have their romances.a young man and a young \u2018woman who made each other's ac- uaintance at one of the monthly balls fie for the amusement of the inmates.ad though they were, they carried on \u2018aninnocent courtship, and, despite the «vigilance of the officials, managed a written correspondence.Both recov- .ered, and after their discharge.having renewed their courtship, married happily.So far as is known at the Asylum, neither had a relapse of insanity.Montreal) Danger of Interfering in a Matrimonial Row Aman was abusing his wife, when the landlord

thill of a cutter and knocked down, the sleigh going over him.The driver's name was Henry Crow, a lad about 16, with no bells on his horse to warn of its approach.The case is more - aggravated by the fact that said young man formed one of the party who were racing the night the Rev.Mr.Beattie met with his accident.Is there no way to stop fast driving?Howick \u2026Ôfour hotels here received a

writing in response to Mr.Greenbank's recent letter to the Gleaner | (March 4, 1992) expressing concern with the CRRC\u2019s proposal to establish a regional environment centre.First, we are pleased with Mr.Greenbank\u2019s endorsement of the objectives of the proposal.We believe that there is a real, ongoing need to restore and protect riverbanks, reduce pollution from agricultural chemicals, encourage public education and appreciation for the river and more.Second, we share Mr.Greenbank\u2019s frustration with the slow rate of progress and funding in correcting the problems of the Valley.These, too, need to be addressed in a comprehensive, well- coordinated way.Our proposal calls for establishment of a local agency, to coordinate \u2014 not duplicate \u2014 the efforts of existing government ministries and departments (ex: forestry, agriculture, water quality, etc.) With respect to money, the figures quoted (about $200,000.per year) are estimates based on activities which the CRRC would like to see undertaken.We expect that these funds would come from a variety of sources \u2014 the Federal Green Plan, a similar provincial program, possibly grant money for

treatment plants throughout the province.Most of the municipalities in the Châteauguay Valley have signed on and are in various stages of realizing this important goal.It is equally important however,

stiiddents find Bible study awesome \u201cCool,\u201d \u201cTotally Awesome,\u201d \u201cRadical,\u201d \u201cVery Interesting\u2019\u2019 Sounds like comments young people would make after seeing a production from Hollywood.Yet, these were some of the opinions expressed by a group of Grade 4 pupils of St.Joseph School after a visit, last Thursday, to the exhibition \u201cThe Bible, Heart of Our History,\u201d currently being held in the basement of the Cathedral-Basilica of Valleyfield.With its dozen or more booths, the exhibition shows the relevance of the Bible throughout history and into current day.From the world\u2019s smallest bible to art which has been inspired by the stories contained in it, the viewer becomes a participant as he/she moves from exhibit to exhibit.It is hard for a young person not to be affected by the discoveries that are made.The adult with a deeper appreciation of the Bible will certainly be impressed with the different approaches which each booth brings to such an important part of our lives.Starting with a private collection of bibles and artifacts, belonging to Father Yves Abran, as the core of the exhibit, the end result of many months work is well worth a visit.It is the most impressive event of its kind to be presented in Quebec.As part of the on-going celebration of the Centennial Year of the Diocese of Valleyfield, this is an opportunity for the people of the Valley area to view the significance which the Bible holds for us as individuals and as society.Open to the public, with free admission, the exposition runs till the 22nd of March.Hours are 1:30 to 5, and from 7 till 9, everyday except Monday.Theexcitement has carried over to the Grade 6 people who will be going this Friday.An English guide to the various exhibits is available.World Day of Prayer in Valleyfield The World Day of Prayer which was celebrated this year at St.Mark's Anglican Church, Valleyfield, on Friday afternoon, 6 March, was very well attended

dominated by comments concerning the Feb.28 register on an amendment to zoning bylaw 302.Lawyer for the municipality, Pierre Moreau, fielded the comments and offered legal opinions about the validity of the register., Hinchinbrooke residents in the Powerscourt sector had been raising objections and concerns since last fall when the owner of Aquanature Inc.water bottling company applied for a 500 per cent buliding expansion project.A bylaw amending the Hinchinbrooke zoning bylaw adopted Feb.4 would permit the project to proceed.However, the bylaw only enters into force upon the posting of a Public Notice.Before taking the final step, the council, aware the project has stirred a controversy, held a register for residents of the zone affected.At the March council meeting Arthur Legault stepped forward on behalf of fellow signers and delivered a petition asking to cancel the vote of the register.Two main } { | A quiet Alain Lalonde, owner of Aquanature, remained silent throughout the meeting and listened to his neighbours comment about the register for the bylaw amendment which would permit him to expand his building project by 500 per cent.Hinchinbrooke legal counsel, Pierre Moreau Normand Quenneville, immediate neighbour of reasons were offered: the inclimatic weather conditions; the validity of the voters list was in question.On the first point, Moreau indicated the stormy weather was not a legal or valid reason to annul the register as adverse conditions in winter months could be expected.The council is not responsible for the weather, nor could they forsee the storm when the date was selected.Seventy-nine names were on the voter's list; the validity of six names was questioned.Of the eighteen people Aquanature, stated he was upset the road wasn\u2019t plowed, preventing him the option to register or not.Association for Community Living The Annual meeting of the Chiteauguay Valley Association for Community Living was held in the St.John Anglican Church Hall Huntingdon on Thursday, February 27; president Willa Hooker in the chair.A mo- mentof silence was observed in memory of a former member, Hazel Robertson.Plans were made for the annual military whist to be held on April 13 at the Huntingdon Legion.The Springtime of Hope campaign will be organized by Leigh Coffin.Anyone wishing to receive a letter of information redonations may contact Leigh Coffin by calling 829-2205.The booths atiOrmstown and Havelock fairs willbe held again.Reports from committees including the cafeteria were heard and memberships of $2.00 per family were

Margaret Curran; Treasurer, Gail Pearce; Publicity and Membership, Jean McEwen.Directors: Merle Ferry, : Dee Zabitsky, Ruth Stark, Vera Dooling, Caroline Gariepy, Kay Higgins, Frances Rennie, Thelma Peddie, Ruth Leggett, Laura who signed the register, two were not eligible.Unless some new disclosures are made, there was an insufficient number of people to mandate a referendum.The lawyer is verifying this issue.It should be noted the list for this register was the same list as the one used in the Municipal election last fall.No one notified the town hall that anyone on the list had died, or that their name was omitted.Nobody protested then, but they are now because it has become an issue.A census was taken in 1990 Howick by Jean Furcall 825-2578 Unit B leader Gertie Allen welcomed 21

explained an official Hinchinbrooke.Hinchinbrooke also experienced some equipment breakdowns that hindered snow removal operations.Two of the three pieces of equipment were affected.The Powerscourt Road was not opened until early evening; however, the snow plow tried to pass about 4 p.m.on Feb.28.The driver wasn't able as abandonned cars blocked the road.Some residents were able to go sign the register, others didn't and questioned why the road hadn't been opened.One Brown: \u201cFeachers\u2014Eisie™ \"camp \u201cthis summer, you 1 Welburn, a uguette Sutfer ta ens Ryan reform affects budget in St-Anicet The Ryan reform has had a striking effect on the budgets of most municipalities, and the parish of St-Anicet is certainly no exception.As a result of the reform, St-Anicet must contribute $130,504 to the provincial government for services rendered by the Sureté du Québec.That sum represents 11 per cent of the parish's total budget of $1,195,735.New tax Nobody can deny the fact that the municipality of Godmanchester is largely rural in character.Since Law 142 went into effect in January 1992, agricultural exploitation in the province have been subjected to the new Quebec fiscal regime.Elaine Duhéme, secre- tary-treasurer of Godmanchester, believes that this new law is still unknown to the public, especially in agricultural regions such as hers.That is why she has decided to give necessary explanations before citizens receive their municipal tax bills.The new regulation on property tax refunds and compensation for municipal services does not contain any limit on the taxable value of the land, as it concerns municipal taxes and a limit of $375 per hectare for school taxes.No such limits exist for municipal taxes, however.Therefore the 1992 tax bill is based on the actual municipal evaluation and SECOND LAGUAGE BURSARIES: Bursaries are given to Canadian students to enable them to register in six-week French or English immersion courses in accredited learning institutions.The program is financed by the Secretary of State.An explanatory guide and registration form are available at Communication-Quebec offices (371-9111) In order to balance the budget, the muncipal council has established a property tax rate at 55 cents per $100 evaluation.Of this amount, nearly 10¢ per $100 corresponds to the total billed for police services in accordance with the Ryan reform.The tax on garbage collection and disposal is unchanged at $85 per private residence and $175 per business establishment.The chief revenue comes from general property taxes, amounting to $770,971, followed by garbage tax totalling $181,000.Payments in lieu of taxes come to $30,888 while other revenues reach $121,089.The latter category includes licenses and permits, building transaction rights, zoning amendment requests, etc.Conditional transfer revenues represent an estimated $75,655.Major expenditures are broken down as follows: $285,279 for general administration; $197,292.for public security; $316,600 for transportation; $184,595 for community health; $46,089 for urbanism; $57,384 for recreation and culture; $96,996 for allocation of funds spent on fixed

more essential as it concerns the means of reimbusement asked of the Quebec Ministry of Agriculture, Fish, Game and Food.The new regulation also predicts a rebate percentage of school and municipal taxes.It consists of 70 percent of municipal tax attributable to buildings, school taxes and compensation for municipal services.In addition, it consists of 70 percent of taxes attributable to properties on the first $475 per hectare and 100 percent on the surplus between the value of $475 per hectare and 2 percent.However, a new modification concerns a reduction for non-productive ground.The new law provides that taxes admissible for the reimbusement for land be reduced according to the total of non-productive ground, that is superior to 25 percent of the total surface area of the farm.Duheéme reminds that the municipalities will no longer receive a grant for farms and wooded areas because compensation to the municipalities has been abolished by the new law.For

RECEIVER - MONITOR seasonal resident drove through horrid road conditions from Sherbrooke in order to be able to sign the register.The lawyer gently noted the fact that the one person who was determined to drive 140 km negated objections about impassable roads.What the bylaw deals with is the expansion of a building: it is not approving the expansion of water bottling.The water will continue to be removed the trucks will still be transporting the water.Mayor Donald Frier commented he THE GLEANER \u2014 MARCH 11, 1992 \u2014 5 understands people's concerns about the volume of traffic and the quantity of water being harvested.From the council's view, these are two things that.won't change.A municipality does not have the legal right to restrict the amount of water taken from the ground.No provincial regulations appear to be in existance either essentially, there are no control mechanisms.Another point, the volume of water used by the water bottling company is much less than what is used by the fish farm, Agriculture Inc., he explained.\"Basically, the residents who are objecting to the expansion project don't want their peace and quiet disturbed.I understand that,\u201d he commented.By the next council meeting in April, the legal firm will likely have a recommendations to offer the council before it proceeds to either hold a referendum or post Bylaw

Huntingdon, Québec Magasinage outre-frontière: Le véritable problème: l'absence d'un esprit de fierté texte de Cyril Alary Huntingdon \u2014 Devant un auditoire de quelque 50 personnes au Chateau de Huntingdon, le dimanche 8 mars, le véritable problème derrière toute la problématique du magasinage outre-frontière demeure l'absence totale d\u2019un esprit de fierté au Canada.C\u2019est essentiellement le message qu\u2019a livré le député de la circonscription fédérale de Beauharnois-Salaberry, Jean- Guy Hudon, lors de ce brunch- causerie organisé par la Chambre de commerce de la région de Saint-Anicet.Les gens de ce côté-ci de la frontière, selon le député Hudon, n\u2019ont plus de sentiment de fierté envers le système que l\u2019on a mis en place au Canada au cours des dernières décennies.Le député Jean-Guy Hudon a rappelé que les programmes sociaux au Canada sont excellents: de plus, les services en place ici n'existent pas aux Etats-Unis.Il a été très clair avec ses propos, à savoir que les gens qui magasinent continuellement du côté des Etats-Unis devraient aller se faire soigner, par exemple, du côté des Etats-Unis.Pour maintenir les bons services ici au Québec, et au Canada, il faut prendre l\u2019argent à quelque part.Et le système de taxation ici se veut le moyen privilégié par les paliers de gouvernement.«Ces services, on les trouve bons, mais on se dit qu'on n\u2019a pas à payer pour, c\u2019est gratuit.mais c'est notre système de taxation qui nous assure ces services», de dire le député Jean-Guy Hudon.Il a ajouté qu\u2019il est vrai que, pour certains produits, la taxation a en quelque sorte dépassé ladécence.ll faut surtout penser aux «biens de luxe» comme on les décrivaient dans les années 1940.I! s\u2019agit des cigarettes, de l\u2019alcool et de l'essence.Ce système de taxation pour aller des revenus demeure le même bien que l'essence aujourd'hui ne peut pas être considéré un bien de luxe, mais bel et bien une nécessité.Les gouvernements, a dit le député Hudon, n\u2019ont pas su modifier leur approche au cours des années, gardant ainsi lesmêmes conceptions que lors des années 1930 et 1940.Le député Jean-Guy Hudon a dit que le gouvernement fédéral a misde l'avantcertaines mesures telles qu\u2019un meilleur contrôle aux postes de frontière.Chiffres à l\u2019appui, le député Hudon précise que les perceptions sont à la hausse aux postes de frontière de la région; il faut penser à 323 pour cent à Trout River, 886 pour cent à Dundee, 223 pour cent à Herdman et 151 pour cent à Hemmingford.Mais, le député fédéral est conscient que le problème se veut très important.Il a précisé al\u2019auditoirequ\u2019il n'est pas facile du tout d\u2019argumenter avec une personne qui se rend aux Etats- Unis faire ses achats hebdomadaires.«Essayez de donner des arguments à ceux qui vont magasiner aux Etats- Unis, ce n\u2019est pas facile.Ce n\u2019est pas facile de convaincre quelqu'un de l'intérêt de l'achat chez-nous», de dire le député Hudon.: Or, le député Hudon a constaté que les gens pensent de plus en plus à leur bien-être bien personnel.L'un des problèmes est certes le fait d\u2019avoir développer le manque d\u2019esprit positif des systèmes en place au Canada.La solution n\u2019est pas d'avoir l\u2019armée à la frontière pourempêcher tout ce qui rente, a lancé le député Jean- Guy Hudon.Il faut, selon lui, développer un esprit de fierté de ce qui est réalisé ici, peu importe si c\u2019est une chemise, un pantalon, une paire de soulier, un pneu et même une automobile.«Les gens qui achètent ici encourage un citoyen d'ici à garder son emploi; c\u2019est cet esprit que l\u2019on doit\u2019 se développer.Socialement on a de l\u2019ouvrage à faire ence sens», de souligner le député Jean- Guy Hudon.La parole à l'assistance: Le député Hudon a été assez bref dans ses remarques préliminaires pour permettre plus de temps à la période de questions.Avoir un dollar évalué à seulement 0,75$ US, voilà une solution proposé.Cependant à cela, le député Hudon tient à rappeler que la position d'un dollar flottant n\u2019est pas avantageuse dans un tel cas car l\u2019endettement du Canada est trop élevé.Les questions relativement au magasinage le dimanche et au libre-échange ont fait soulever certains points très intéressants.Certaines personnes estiment que le magasinage le dimanche ici pourrait possiblement décourager des gens à se rendre aux Etats-Unis.On constate que la majorité des personnes se DESSERVANT HUNTINGDON.ORMSTOWN.HEMMINGFORD HOWICK CHA

emplettes.Quant au libre- échange, il fut surtout mentionné lanécessité d'ouvrir les frontières et les barrières entre les provinces pour permettre cette liberté d'échange au sein du Canada.Mais cette liberté plus grande tant sur les heures d'ouverture des commerces le dimanche et l'ouverture des échanges entre les provinces est difficile à obienir surtout à cause des restrictions émises par les syndicats.Une autre question a touché le coût de la main d'oeuvre d'ici comparativement aux Etats-Unis.La main d\u2019oeuvre estpluscoûteuse ici, et le député Hudon estime que toute la problématique du coût de la productivité entre en jeu.«Lorsque le gouvernement du Canadaa gelé les salaires, c'était pour donner l\u2019exemple et adresser un message à tous les Canadiens d'aller en ce sens; il n'ya pasde gouvermement assez fort pour imposer une réduction des salaires de l\u2019ordre de 10 pour cent, à moins que l'on veut un dictateur», de souligner le député Jean-Guy Hudon.Pour d'autres tout comme Diane Ford, c\u2019est surtout le coût élevé de l'essence qui provoque tant de gens à se rendre aux Etats-Unis pour faire leurs achats.Une baisse du coût de l\u2019essence serait profitable, mais de là surgit un autre problème majeur selon le député Hudon.Il explique en disant: «Si le gouvernement baisse la taxe sur l\u2019essence, par exemple d'un cent le litre, il perdraen revenus quelque 540 millions de dollar.Mais où va-t-on trouver l'argent pour combler ce trou?Est-ce que cette baisse du coût va ramener les clients ici?» Il est vrai de dire que vendre de l'essence sans taxe ici serait certes le point majeur et la solution miracle à cette problématique.Or, on créerait un autre problème, Le député Jean-Guy Hudon estime que les personnes aiment la qualité de vie que le Canada leur offre, mais veulent également les avantages que l\u2019on peut retrouver aux Etats- Unis, «On veut les avantages des deux côtés», de conclure le député Hudon.Les gens présents ont convenu que le gouvernement peut prendre action, mais ça ne s\u2019arrête pas là.Les milieux doivent se prendre en main et mener une lutte au magasinage outre-frontière.Don Rosenbaum, secrétaire du CRRC, se dit heureux de cette rencontre.A ses côtés, l\u2019un remarque Dennis O\u2019Grady, et Gilles Hébert, représentant le député.Aménagement de la rivière Châteauguay: De l'expertise témoignée en vue de la société Texte de Cyril Alary Très-Saint-Sacrement \u2014 L'idée de créer une société d'aménagement de la rivière Chateauguay a fait son petit bout de chemin.Et c'est pourquoi l'on a voulu recevoir l'expertise des personnes travaillant déjà au sein d'une telle société d'aménagement.C'est ainsi que les représentants de la Société d'aménagement de la rivière Nation-Sud en Ontario sont venus rencontrer différents intervenants de la région où coule la rivière Chateauguay.Cette réunion s'est déroulée le vendredi 6 mars dernier au Site de la Bataille de la Chateauguay au sein de la municipalité de la Paroisse Très-Saint-Sacrement.Plusieurs intervenants des municipalités riveraines et des autres groupes sociaux ont répondu à l'invitation lancée par le député de la circonscription électorale de Beauharnois-Huntingdon, André Chenail, et le Comité de réhabilitation de la rivière Chatcauguay.Apres une breve présentation par le représentant du député, Gilles Hébert, le serétaire du Comité de réhabilitation de la rivière, Don Rosenbaum, a invité Dennis O'Grady, directeur général et secrétaire-trésorier de la Société de la rivière Nation- Sud à faire une présentation.C'est ainsi que l'on pu comprendre que cette société se veut une structure dont lorganigramme est très complexe.On y retrouve un conseil d'administration avec un représentant par municipalité concernée, un comité exécutif, deux conseils d'aviseur technique, un directeur général, ct une foule d'autres groupes et intervenants.La présentation de Dennis O'Grady a permis de démontrer que les champs d'activités d'une telle société touche tout le cours d'eau concernée, de même que ses tributaires afin de régulariser les problèmes d'érosion du Les personnes présentes à cette réunion d\u2019information ont écouté ee, attentivement la présentation faite par les gens de l\u2019Ontario.sol, des glissements de terrain, d'inondation, et de pollution.Les municipalités impliquées au sein de cette société de la Rivière Nation- Sud doivent contribuer quelque 24,8 pour cent du budget total; le gouvernement provincial de l'Ontario contribue pour sa part 42 pour cent du budget.La Société aura permis de s'occuper des problèmes d'environnement, tout en mettant en place des parcs, un programme de plantation d'arbres, et diverses correctifs pour contrer les inondations printanières.Dennis O'Grady a expliqué que des cartes marquant la délimitation des zones inondables ont été réalisées, el sont souvent utilisées pour assurer le moins de construction dans ces secteurs.Ces interventions de la Société ne sont pas des lois, mais les municipalités doivent aller dans le même sens.Il faut préciser que l'on ne regarde pas le problème à une municipalité seulement, mais sur l'ensemble des municipalités riveraines afin d'avoir une vue globale de la situation problématique.De plus, la Société s'occupe de.relations publiques afin d'informer toutes les parties intéressées des actions entreprises.lly a aussi un aspect éducatif.Des tournées sont effectuées dans les écoles afin de sensibiliser les jeunes à l'importance d'une saine qualité des eaux.Des activités récréatives sont organisées sur la rivière afin de sensibiliser les gens à l'importance du cours d'eau au sein de la communauté.La présentation a été très appréciée des personnes présentes, et une période de questions a terminé la rencontre.Des gens intéressés veulent travailler à la mise en valeur de la rivière Chateauguay dans la région.Ces témoignages d'expertise en la matière auront certes été un élément positif en vue des prochaines étapes à suivre, L\u2019ADN souhaite la réduction des emballages texte de Cyril Alary Valleyfield \u2014 Plusieurs épiceries de la région ont été visitées par des membres de l\u2019Action pour la défense de la nature danse but bien précis de sensibiliser les gens à la réduction des emballages.En conférence de presse, le mercredi 4 mars dernier, Denise St-Germain et Gilles D\u2019'Anjou de l'Action pour la défense de la nature ont expliqué que l'organisme avait reçu une aide financière de l'ordre de 2800$ Denise St-Germain et Gilles D'Anjou ont parlé de la réduction des emballages dans les épiceries.Cette conférennce a été donnée chez Provigo, chemin Larocque à Valleyfield.de la part du ministère de l'Environnement du Québec.Cette subvention entre dans le cadre du programme action- environnement, et conceme le projet «Réduisons les emballages chez l'épicier» que l\u2019Action pour la défense de la nature a présenté, Dans une lettre d'acceptation du projet, le ministre de l'Environnement du Québec, Pierre Paradis, précise: «Je tiens à vous remercier de l'intérêt et de la contribution que vous apportez dans l'effort de compréhension et de solution aux problèmes environnementaux».Denise St-Germain a expliqué que les épiceries des secteurs de Huntingdon, Saint- Anicet, Ormstown, Sainte- Martine, Beauharnois et Valleyfield ont été visitées, et ceavec l\u2019aideetlacollaboration des groupes de récupération locaux.Lorsdeces visites, avec l'aide des groupes locaux, l'Action pour la défense de la nature a constaté que lesépiceries étaient sensibilisées à la réduction des emballages.«La plupart des épiciers remboursent leurs clients lorsque ceux-ci rapportent leurs sacs d'épicerie», a souligné Denise St-Germain.C'est en quelque sorte une très belle initiative de la part des épiciers, et le degré de participation commence à se faire sentir au sein de différentes municipalités.Des efforts de la part des groupes locaux de récupération devront être faits davantage pour inciter les gens d\u2019aller dans ce sens.Un autre aspect que l\u2019on constata dans ces visites est la place de plus en plus prédominante des aliments en vrac dans les épiceries; c'est ainsi que le tout a un effet bénéfique sur la réduction des emballages.Les deux représentants de l'ADN ont souligné que l'on retrouve dans les épiceries un certain suremballage des produits.«Le problème se situe surtout au niveau des industries de transformation alimentaire.Nous retrouvons sur les tablettes des épiceries des emballages tout A fait superflus qui ne servent qu'à Mmousser la publicité du fabricant.Aussitôt achetés, les emballages de ces produits se retrouvent très vite dans nos poubelles, car plusieurs de ces emballages ne sont même pas recyclables», de dire Denise St-Germain.L'Action pour la défense de la nature estime qu'à chaque fois que le consommateur fait son épicerie il en coûte 10$ et plus sur une commande 100$ pour payer les différents emballages.Voilàune situation inacceptable selon l\u2019Action pour la défense de la nature.Ces emballages, dont la majorité ne se recycle pas prennent la route des sites d\u2019enfouissements des déchets, causant ainsi des préjudices a l'environnement.De plus, les élèves du niveau primaire seront sollicités par l'ADN afin de participer à un concours d'affiches sur la réduction des emballages.Cette action se veut le deuxième volet du projet de l'ADN.Et dans un troisième temps, l'ADN prévoit la rédaction d\u2019un rapport complet identifiant les produits d'épicerie suremballés; les groupes locaux de récupération pourront obtenir copies de ce rapport dès la fin du mois d'avril.Ce rapport fera son petit bout de chemin pour se rendre au ministère de l'Environnement de même que les industries de l'alimentation.#CNA (LS Manage MLCT Gy ABLE 829-2351 30 rue BRIDGE, ORMSTOWN Le député Jean-Guy Hudon souhaite que les Canadiens aient plus de fierté.Yves Lalonde, président de la Chambre de commerce, et Pierre Caza, maire de Saint-Anicet, l\u2019écoutent attentivement.La nécessité d\u2019un plan d'action régional texte de Cyril Alary Huntingdon \u2014 Pour faire face à la menace constante du magasinage outre- frontière, il est de plus en plus nécessaire de mettre en place un plan d'action régional.Les quelque 50 personnes présentes au brunch-causerie organisé par la Chambre de commerce de la région de Saint- Anicet ont constaté que le véritable problème est plus profond qu\u2019ils le pensaient au point de départ.Et c\u2019est par la mise en commun des efforts de tout le monde dans le milieu quel\u2019on pourraaffronterce mal d'aujourd'hui qu'est le magasinage outre-frontière.La deuxième partie de ce brunch-causerie devait prendre l\u2019allure d'une discussion entre les personnes présentes afin de mettre au point certaines solutions communes pour contrer le magasinage outre-frontière.Les solutions ne furent pas très nombreuses, et les interventions en ce sens ne furent que des voeux pieux pour aller dans ce sens.Yves Lalonde, président de la Chambre de commerce de Saint-Anicet, a tenu à préciser que le but réel est «de garder nos consommateurs chez- nous».André Castagnier de l'Association des marchands de Huntingdon a exprimé le souhait que les deux groupes puissent se mettre ensemble pour trouver un plan d'action assurant que les gens consomment dans la région, et non de l\u2019autre côté de la frontière.Mais Pierre Caza, maire de la Paroisse de Saint-Anicet, a insisté sur le fait que le problème du magasinage outre-frontière | n\u2019est pas celui seulement des municipalités de Huntingdon et de Saint-Anicet.I! précisa que la création de la Corporation de développement économique se veut un outil

Canty, prennent part à une semaine au Centre Terry-Fox de la jeunesse à Ottawa.Le jeudi 5 mars dernier, le maire Gérald Brisebois de la Ville de Huntingdon a remis à ces deux demoiselles un chèque de 50$ afin d'aider à la commandite de participation à cette semaine dont le thème est «la toi».D'autres organismes ont aidé financièrement ce projet: il faut penser à la Caisse populaire de Huntingdon, au Club Rotary de Huntingdon, à la Légion Canadienne Branche 81, la municipalité du Canton de Godmanchester, le Club Lions d\u2019Ormstown, le Club Optimiste d'Ormstown ainsi que des commerçants locaux.Ces deux jeunes vivront un stage qui sera très enrichissant.Les institutions canadiennes occuperont la première partie de la semaine; c'est ainsi que les deux élèves visiteront le Sénat, et sera présente à la période des questions à la Chambre des communes.De plus, elles feront une visite à la Cour Suprême du Canada et un tour guidé de la capitale nationale, Ottawa.Relativement au thème «la loi», les deux jeunes demoiselles seront présentes lors d\u2019un audition d\u2019un procès dans une cour provinciale.Grâce aux échanges avec des avocats, des juges, des criminologues et des membres de la Commission sur le droit criminel, le préjugé, la discrimination et le droit criminel deviendront des aspects juridiques connus.Cette expérience constitue sans aucun doute une semaine

Comité de recyclage de Ormstown est heureux de dire que le nouveau programme de collecte sélective des matières recyclables est t 2s prometteur.En effet, depuis la première collecte le 20 janvier, les sacs bleus colorent agréablement le bord des routes chaque lundi.M.Lavoie, le récupérateur, rapporte que le premier mois, une moyenne de 15 tonnes de matières recyclables fut récupérées, ce qui représente trois fois la quantité recueillie par apport volontaire au dépôt.M.Lavoie considère que la participation des citoyens d'Ormstownest très bonne et la personne responsable au Centre de tri de la Montérégie se dit très satisfaite des matières reçues.M.Lavoie opère maintenant avec son nouveau camion pour le recyclage et explique que celui-ci n'a pas de compartiment pour séparer les matières, d\u2019où la nécessité pour le citoyen d'utiliser les sacs bleus transparents pour séparer les papiers et cartons des autres recyclables.A noter, pour les agriculteurs, que les cordes de plastique pour balles de foin ne peuvent plus être acceptées, dû au problème causé lors de la mise en «ballot» mécanique des plastiques au Centre de tri.Soulignons que, du 29 février au 8 mars, s\u2019est tenue la «Semaine sur la gestion des déchets» organisé par le Front Commun pour la gestion écologique des déchets, qui regroupe plusieurs organismes a travers le Québec.Plusieurs activités eurent lieu dont un forum intitulé: «Transformons nos déchets enressources» avec entre autres, Rita Landry, représentante de «Waste Wise», un centre de recyclage à Halton en Ontario et le Dr.Paul Connett, chimiste de l\u2019Université St-Lawrence dans l'Etat de New York.D\u2019autres La FAS impose une série de mesures pour financer le système texte de Cyril Alary Grande-IIe \u2014 «La Fédération des affaires sociales réclame le maintien du financement collectif du système de santé et de services sociaux et propose une série de mesures pour résoudre le manque de revenus anticipés pour le financer», de dire Cécile Côté, secrétaire de la FAS.Le tout s\u2019est produit dans le cadre d'une tournée nationale que la secrétaire de la Fédération des affaires sociales, Cécile Côté.Elle était au bureau régionale à Grande-Ile de la FAS le mercredi 26 février dernier.Monique Barrette, vice- présidente de la région 6-C de la Fédération des affaires sociales, et Cécile Côté en ont profité pour donner une conférence de presse.On a voulu surtout faire le point sur la prochaine ronde de négociation du secteur public et sur la question du financement du système de santé et de services sociaux.Les deux représentantes de la Fédération des affaires sociales qui représente quelque 3000 membres de la région et plus de 100 000 à travers le Québec ont dénoncé la volonté du ministre Marc-Yvan Côté de remettre en question les principesmêmes de ce système; ces principes sont la gratuité, l'accessibilité et l'universalité.«La Fédération s\u2019en prend au projet ministériel consistant à faire payeraux usagers des coûts supplémentaires sur certains services ou à en privatiser certains autres», de souligner Cécile Côté.Elle a expliqué que la Fédération s'oppose à la création d'une Caisse gouvernementale autonome, pour les services de santé, à l\u2019établissement d'un impôt- service, d\u2019un impôt-santé ou d\u2019un ticket orienteur.Un autre aspect inquiète la Fédération des affaires sociales, et il s\u2019agit de «l'érosion graduelle du réseau public vers le secteur privé ainsi que le recours accru en financement privée de soins de santé».Cécile Côté, secrétaire de la Fédération, estime que la conjoncture économique actuelle n\u2019est pas le moment propice pour remettre en cause le système de santé.«Cependant, s\u2019il y a une conjoncture où le maintien d\u2019un réseau public, universel, accessible et gratuit a toute sa raison d\u2019être, c\u2019est bien celle que nous traversons», de souligner Cécile Côté.Reconnaissant que la santé occupe une place importante dans le budget du Québec, Cécile Côté rappelle qu'ils\u2019agit d'un choix de société, se donnant un système de santé où le monde peu importe ses finances reçoit une qualité de soins égale, La consolidation des acquis du système se veut d\u2019une importance capitale.Cécile Côté estime qu\u2019il ne faut pas surtaxer davantage les gens.Il serait préférable, selon elle, d'établir Trois Grands Montérégiens proclamés Longueuil \u2014 En 1991, la Société montérégienne de développement (SMD) créait l\u2019Académie des Grands Montérégiens afin de reconnaître publiquement les personnalités monté- régiennes qui par leurs gestes ont marqué les scènes économique, scientifique, culturelle ou sportive.Messieurs André Chagnon, président du conseil et chef de la direction au Groupe Vidéotron Itée, Gérard Côté, champion des marathons de Boston et New-York à plusieurs reprises et Raymond Lévesque, pionnier de la chanson québécoise sont les trois lauréats qui seront honorés cette année.André Chagnon - Un grand bâtisseur En 1967, André Chagnon fonde Vidéotron ltée.Il acquiert parla suite Télécable de la Rive- Sud, Cablevision nationale et Télé-Métropole.Monsieur Chagnon a développé une entreprise qui compte maintenant au-delà de 3500 employés.Le Groupe Vidéotron et ses filiales œeuvrent dans les domaines de la télédistribution, de la télédiffusion et de la télécommunication au Canada et au Royaume-Uni.L'innovation technologique et la rapidité de croissance qui caractérisent la commercialisation de Vidéoway depuis 1988 sont aussi de très bonnes indications 1992 du dynamisme et de l'esprit avant-gardiste de ce résidant de Vaudreuil.Après plusieurs médias et organismes tels la Chambre de commerce du Québec, l\u2019ACRTF, la revue «Commerce», le journal «Les Affaires», la revue «L\u2019Argent et vous», c\u2019est au tour de l\u2019Académie des Grands Montérégiens de reconnaître ce grand bâtisseur.Gérard Côté - Un modèle de persévérance Après avoir remporté quatre victoires au marathon de Boston dont un record mondial en 1940, trois victoires au marathon de New-York, été proclamé champion canadien à quatre reprises, premier au marathon de Los Angeles en 1948, monsieur Gérard Côté demeure encore aujourd\u2019hui un modèle pour ses pairs.Membre de la Renommée des sports du Canadadepuis 1955, Chevalier de l\u2019Ordre National du Québec, Membre de l'Ordre du Canada, il a aussi reçu plusieurs titres et trophées au cours de sa carrière.Monsieur Gérard Côté est un modèle de persévérance pour tous ses concitoyens de Saint- Hyacinthe et de la Montérégie.Raymond Levesque - Un pionnier de la chanson québécoise Monsieur Raymond Lévesque écrit depuis 1946.Chansons, poèmes, textes de théâtre et revues humoristiques

3 mars - dernier, l\u2019échevin Francine Lalonde a annoncé que Ro- \"pald Critchley a été élu président du Comité : consultatif d'urbanisme de la ville, et que Denise Plourde ! a été élue vice-présidente.Le candidat défait à la mairie \u201clors de l'élection de novembre 1991, James Atkinson, a demandé quelle était la position de la ville au sujet du problème de la taxc spéciale pour les services dans le développement Bouchette et pour la rue Cunningham.L\u2019échevin Lalonde a répondu que sa proposition était que les entrepreneurs doivent payer ou être poursuivis pour la somme en question, plutôt que de voir la ville facturer les résidants.Le maire Gérald Brisebois a expriméunc opinion différente, en disant que la facture devra être payée par l\u2019une ou l\u2019autre des parties.Mais le conseil s'est rangé du côté de Mme Lalonde.Quant à l\u2019échevin Marielle Duhême, elle a dit qu\u2019elle avait toujours été en faveur de poursuivre les promoteurs.en autant que cela était mentionné dans le contrat qu\u2019ils devaient payer pour les services.Les promoteurs, selon Mme Duhème, ont violé leur parole.L'échevin André Brunette s\u2019est dit d'accord avec Mme Lalonde et Normand Nadeau a * fait de même.Les échevins * Yvan Cadoret et Georges : Lazure étaient absents, le pre- * mierenvacancesausoleilet M.+ Lazure se remettait d'une récente opération au genou.: Les gens qui ont payé la .facture parerreur devraient être remboursés, a résolu Mme Lalonde, ce quia rendu latenue d\u2019une assemblée spéciale à ce sujet inutile pour le moment.Le maire a concédé que le remboursement devrait être tenté et que l\u2019on verrait ce qui arriverait.En réponse à une question parmi l'assistance, le maire Brisebois a dit qu\u2019un contrat avaitété signé entre le ministère des Transports et un entrepreneur pourinstaller des lumières attendues depuis longtemps sur le \u2018\u2019pôni\u201d \u201cHetfdéfson.L\u2019entrepreneur a huit semaines pour faire le travail entre le 4 février et le 4 avril.«Vous pourrez nous féliciter bientôt», de dire M.Brisebois.Une autre question importante fut la modification d\u2019un règlement de zonage qui aurait permis au promoteur Georges Lavoie de construire une quantité non spécifiée d\u2019édifices dans un champ compris entre la rue François- Cleyn, le Chemin Ridge, la rue Dathousie et la deuxième voie ferrée.La difficulté avec cette question est que lors d\u2019une assemblée de consultation publique tenue spécialement à cette fin le 24 février, M.Lavoie n'a même pas fait acte de présence pourexpliqueren quoi exactement consistait son projet.M.le maire a expliqué que le promoteur devait répondre aux questions quant à ses intentions et que le conseil ne pouvait procéder avec l'amendement du règlement de zonage tant que cela ne sera pas fait.Le maire a ajouté que le conseil a exprimé par écrit sa décision qu\u2019il n\u2019y aurait pas de centre d'achat à cetendroit,et que Lavoie n'avait pas donné d\u2019autres nouvelles.Le maire a indiqué que si Lavoie se présente lors d\u2019une consultation, tel que promis, le conseil ira de l\u2019avant avec le dézonage.mais la ville ouvrira le registre pendant deux jours, donnant la chance aux citoyens de voter pour la tenue d\u2019un referendum, ou contre le projet et un changement de zonage.«Et si c\u2019est ce que les gens décident, qu\u2019est-ce que nous pouvons faire?» de demander M.Brisebois.Francine Lalonde, pour sa part, fit remarquer que laplupart des Watthitiasptéseritemthi én place s'opposent à un centre d'achat.«Cela peut porter à penser que les marchands sont contre l'entreprise privée», expliqua Lalonde, mais elle se dit d\u2019accordavec les marchands qu\u2019un centre d\u2019achat ferait du tort à leur commerce.Selon André Brunette, l\u2019investisseur aurait dû être présent.«S\u2019iln'estpasintéressé, nous adoptons le règlement pour rien».Un autre épisode intéressant de l\u2019assemblée du conseil fut la différence d\u2019opinion entre le propriétaire Denis Dorais et l\u2019inspecteur municipal Jacques Perreault.M.Dorais amaintenu que lorsqu'il a reçu son permis de construction pour ériger un garage chez lui, il n\u2019a pas reçu de lettrede la ville lui expliquant les conditions.L'inspecteur Perreault a répliqué qu\u2019il avait bien donné la lettre à Dorais mais-que celui-ci ne Favait- pas lue.M.Perreault a quitté la salle du conseil et est revenu avec la copie d\u2019une lettre datée du 15 octobre 1991, adressée à Dorais.Ce dernier a dit n'avoir reçu la lettre que quatre mois plus tard.L'inspecteur a affirmé qu'il avait demandé à Dorais un certificat de location, selon la politique de laville.«C\u2019estdans la lettre», a-t-il.Sur ce, Dorais Vin et fromage à Ormstown texte de Cyril Alary Ormstown

comptes de taxes foncières.Le conseil municipal de la Paroisse Saint-Malachie d'Ormstown a pris cette décision à la suite d\u2019une proposition du conseiller André Bergevin.d\u2019une soirée à l\u2019honneur de l\u2019Escouade des sapeurs volontaires d\u2019Ormstown.Cette décision a été prise respectivement par les conseils municipaux du Village d\u2019Ormstown et de la Paroisse Saint-Malachie d\u2019Ormstown.Au Village.la proposition en ce sens a été faite par le conseiller Maurice Filion, alors qu\u2019à la Paroisse la proposition a été mise de l\u2019avant par le conseiller Lawrence McCaffrey.Chaque conseil municipal déboursera un montant de 200$ pour cette soirée qui se déroulera vraisemblablement le 28 mars prochain.VITRERIE PORTES & FENETRES F.L.ENR.CLAUDE

demandé quelle était la dépense de 750 - 800$ pour un ventilateur à éjection de fumée pour le Service d'incendie.«C\u2019est dans le budget», a répliqué le maire.L'échevin Dutière \u2018a aussi
