some owned the land for only 8 to 10 years; and some didn\u2019t even move into the house,\u201d he says.Nevertheless, as he drives his tractor over the fields today, Finlayson has time to reflect on the lives of those pioneer farmers before him, each having left their personal legacy on the Onnstown landscape.Kent MacNown, too, is so impressed with what they did.His ancestor was 60 years old when he brought a family of 13 to the New World wilder- See page 7 Posing for history: descendents of previous owners of Ridgehaugh Farm with the new plaque.Photos: Phillip Norton Provincial track and field CVR athletes spark Richelieu Zone champs Dan Rosenburg Thirteen athletes from CVR helped steer the Richelieu Zone region to the over-all championship atthe Provincial Track and Field championships at University of Sherbrooke last weekend.\u201cWe didn\u2019t expect to do that well,\u2019 said CVR coach Norm Woods after the Richelieu Zone outdistanced second-place Quebec by over 100 points.The Richelieu Zone consists of schools situated between Cowansville in the east and the Ontario border in the west, and schools south of the St.Lawrence River to the U.S.border.\u201cQuebec used to be the strong region in this event but we took over six or seven yearsagoand haven\u2019tlooked back since.\u2019 Woods ex- Bishop by Elsie Melanson Valleytield Correspondent To mark the occasion of the 100th Anniversary of the Diocese of Valleyfield, a very special event was organized on Saturday, June 20, by all the English and bilingual parishes in the Diocese of Valleyfield.Parishes who attended included St.Patrick\u2019s of the Island, Pincourt;

We have experienced the world from within the walls of CVR.Many things have occurred at CVR in five years.We have become one of the few smoke-free campuses in Quebec.Mrs.Dagg became the first female vice-principal in CVR history after being a teacher here for seventeen years.Regrettably, we saw the retirement of our long-time principal and friend Mr.Bruce Paterson who has gone on to the Board Office.He was replaced by a long-time acquaintance of ours, Mr.lan Rennie, whom many of has had met at Ormstown Elementary.Two groups See page 21 Lebel presides at Diocese 100th Bishop Robert Lebel presided over all proceedings.A very large congregation was on hand at 11 a.m.for the \u201cWelcome and Prayers inthe Valleyfield Cathedral.This was followed by a tour of the Basilica, and an outline of its history with its many historical artifacts.Choirs from the various groups provided an awe-in- spiring concert of beautiful music.Also, each Parish as- scmbled a display concerning the individual churches.These displays were setup in the basement of the Cathedral for viewing during the tour of the Basilica.A picnic in Parc Sauvé had been planned, but unfortunately had to be moved because of inclement weather.The picnic was held in the basement of the Cathedral instead.The finale of the day was a Mass at 4 p.m.in the Cathedral, officiated by Father Gabriel Clément, with various choirs of the Diocese singing the different parts.The event was well- planned with facilities being set up in the basement where younger family members could play games, etc.It was such a magnificent event, and so greatly appreciated by the participants that I've heard rumorsit is hoped to hold more of these events inthe near future.This would bring all the English and bilingual parishes of the Valleyfield Diocese into closer commune with each other!

samples of bathing water in the area in the context of its Beach Environment Operation 1992.The program of control of bacterial content in water is being undertaken for the sixthconsecutive yearby the Montérégie sector of the Ministry.Some 32 beaches are being analyzed between thedates of June 22 and Aug.13.The information gathered during the course of this operation will contribute towards assuring the protection of the health of the general public so that the latter may fully benefit in peace and tranquillity from recreation activities in the aquatic milieu.Asin the past, the program depends in large part on analysis results from the previous year.The object is to put into place a better surveillance system at beaches which present more heaith risks.Thus one beach might be analyzed as many as five times during the same summer.On the first day of the program, the Sandy Sun camping area in Franklin was among those analyzed.Happily, it escaped with an À

colorful umbrellas at the ready, and everyone dressed in warm clothing, In the opinion of many, the Valleyfield Parade vies with thatof Montreal for size and interest value.Candies were thrown to the children.Clowns ete.were outstanding and numerous, and the music of the many bands and on some of THE GLEANER \u2014 JULY 1, 1992 \u2014 3 St-Jean Baptiste parade smash hit in Valleyfield the floats was excellent.It was really an awe-in- spiring show to which the crowd responded accordingly.Of course.the highlight of the parade was the almost last float with a cute, blonde, curly-headed boy depicting John the Baptist accompanied by his sheep, He vigorously waved to everyone to the enjoyment of the crowd.The theme of this year\u2019s parade was early Quebec, with its cultures, including folk dancing andthe religious aspect, with a mixture of more modem-day events.Behind the floats followed a bevy of horses and riders from local ranches.This was one of the high points of the parade.It was a delightful parade greatly appreciated by our citizens, and very well organized.ECOKIIO Save up to $60 per year by lowering your thermostat at night from 20°C 10 17°C 333-KILO 1 800 567-KILO fom

U.S.REG.NO.UPSP 580-300 SECOND CLASS POSTAGE PAID AT CHATEAUGUAY GENERAL MANAGER: ROGER H.DAOUST EDITORIAL: PHILLIP NORTON, VALERIE FURCALL, CYRILALARY AR Aa (eCNA Editorial JUST SAY YES It can never be stated too often that this community is driven by volunteerism.Youth groups, festivals, churches, school activities and assistance for the poor and the elderly are, for the most part, run and paid for by dedicated citizens.Some individuals are so involved as leaders and workers that they become institutions themselves.They are known for their years of participation in special events - the fairs, the turkey suppers, the strawberry socials.But many times the burden for such big events rests on too few shoulders.The old saying is true here: if you want something done, give it to a busy person.So, for their personal sanity and that of their spouses, some have gathered the courage this summer to just say no to volunteerism and get a life of their own.After 10 or 20 or 30 years of good deed doing, they wish to take a break and enjoy the community they have helped to create.Of course, this is not an editorial to encourage our community volunteers to quit; on the contrary, it is to persuade some new folks to say yes to taking a share of the responsibility.Already this is happening.For ten years, Margie Moore\u2019s name has been synonymous with comedy and entertainment at the Huntingdon Legions\u2019s Craft and Recration Center.In organizing the weekly program she has uncovered a wealth of theatrical and musical talent in the Valley.Only once did a performer refuse, she recalls, and that was because there was no piano.The task has been enjoyable but stressful, so this year.she is handing over the reins to Helen Stewart.The show will go on and Margie promises to continue reading poems and sharing excerpts from her book of a thousand jokes.During the same decade in Town, Huntingdon Fair was getting an injection of Myatt energy.Beryl Myatt and husband fair past- president Stanley provided leadership and manpower beyond the call of duty.This year, for the first time, they're not involved.Beryl has also stepped down as chief organizer of the Huntingdon Presbyterian Church turkey dinner after 11 years.The $5,000 which that single event cleared annually will be raised with new ideas, fun events, that the women\u2019s committee brainstormed.So, for now, the turkey tradition yields to luncheons and card parties.There will still be turkey in Rockburn as there is a dependable army behind the leadership.A regular volunteer makes the coffee and another operates the stove, and there are others who have been pulling off this grand event for over 45 years.Hopefully some of the younger members of the congregation will carry on into the future.Clergy of the area have pointed out that there is a trend in the church toward more women than men being active.Those who do get involved in local organizing committee are often those whose parents did the same.They are also people whoare not afraid of hard work and who have had to work for what they got in life.Organizers find that no one seems to have time any more and it's hard to get a firm committment.The usual response: \u201cI'll help if I don\u2019t have something else on that date.\u201d The Havelock Community Center has been running full throttle with seasonal schedules of events over the past several years.This summer, however, the committee has chosen to cut back its activities, only to gear up for an active fall and winter ahead.A bit farther east, the Hemmingford Boy Scots have been teetering on the brink of existence.Their group, like others, are in need of leaders.In Athelstan, the sports association is alive and well but could be even better if more people came forth to coach, umpire and organize activities.Elgin Mayor Peter Dagg says that it\u2019s a tough sell and they would appreciate new ideas and moral support as much as real workers.Beryl Myatt echoes that sentiment.She found that volunteering without a lot of co-workers takes more out of you mentally than physically.The Myatts are launching into a new endeavour: entrepreneurship.With years .of experience ordering ingredients, baking and serving, they have begun catering in the Chateauguay Valley.So while continuing to provide a community service, they are creating jobs as well, a timely innovation during the economic recession.Others are able to make a living while doing good for the community, too.The new therapeutic horse riding program hopes to turn a profit while improving the lives of the handicapped.Church ministers do their good work as a career, as do doctors, nurses and social workers.Your newspaper, besides being a community institution, is first and foremost a business.And your municipal councillors, mayors, and school board directors recieve some monetary compensation (although not nearly enough) for their labors for the public\u2019s welfare.Volunteerism keeps the rural community ticking but the burden shouldn\u2019t fall on the same few shoulders.Everyone has something to contribute.P.N.Leib YA FINISHED LIGHTING THOSE CANDLES yeTT | aril] xD Mae | to
