people between the ages of 12 and 18 in the community with a meeting place of their own, an urgent need in Hemmingford.This center would provide counselling services on existing problems such as drugs and violence; and a place of young people tomeet.A monitor would oversee activities.The council thanked the group forthis presentation - much thought andeffort obviously was putinto it by the members of Le Centre des Jeunes de Hemmingford, includ- ingconsultations withcommunity groups which already exist, such as the Scouts and school parent committees.Funding will be discussed at a later date, as

about the Band taken from the 1989 Ormstown Centennial album.This week, the history continues, summarizing the Ormstown Band's activities after world War II, under the direction of Lindsay Cullen: \u201cIt was in 1946 that Lindsay Cullen, one of Ellis\u2019 boys, took on the task of rebuilding the band.Since girls had occasionally been members during Mr.Moore\u2019s leadership, and again under Mr.Cullens baton, it was decided that the name of Ormstown Boy's Band was inappropriate and the musicians were once again known as The Ormstown Band.Lindsay See BAND page 3 as bags, containers with

editor of his monthly publication, the Dialogue, were deeply involved in MclIntyre\u2019s anti-Bill 178 campaign over the past four years.: Robert Keaton, a Montrealer and a college and university teacher, has been Alliance president since November 1989.Keaton\u2019s priorities In a telephone interview with The Gleaner, Keatondescribed his priorities for Alliance-Quebec as \u201ccontinuing to press on the problem of access to English schools\u201d; and \u201cmoving Alliance-Quebec to work more in co-operation with Francophone groups, such as Solidarité Jeunesse, on such issues as school drop-outs and youth unemployment\u201d.\u201cThe drop-out rate in English schools has been shown to be significantly lower than that in the Francophone sector \u2014 perhaps we have something going for us which we could share in this area,\u201d he said.With groups such as Alliance- Quebec facing current and future cut-backs in federal government funding, Keaton says that activities must be scaled down, and private funding must be sought.\u201c See KING page 2 Letters to Editor Page 4.Women\u2019s Institutes Page 6 | Valley farm visitors - Page7 : Community news Page 10 Do it all

| Hydroponic plants drink dinner Covey Hill greenhouse produces specialty crops by Darleen Sabetta Franklin Correspondent Patti Yager had been scouting for a place where the land had good soil drainage, preferably with a stone house ready to move into.These circumstances caused her to look at a farm on Mtée Covey Hill south of Franklin Center, and though the house was not stone, the sandy soil was excellent for drainage.She bought the farm in 1987.Patti, an industrial designer, and her partner until 1991, Derrick Cox, hoped to create greenhouses which would be energy-efficient in Quebec's climate.Working with a professor from McGill University, they designed the dome-style greenhouse.The aluminum tubing frame of the greenhouse was completed by the fall of 1990 and covered by the spring of 1991.The greenhouse was first intended to help defray everyday costs on the farm for Patti and Art Hodges, acontrol designer forH.A.Simmons.But when they found themselves without full-time jobs in Montreal in 1992, they tumed their full attention to hydroponic greenhouses.Left withasurplus of 140 pounds of ripe tomatoes, they packed up their produce to sell door-to-door, butis was Halce Allenatthe LG.Ain Ormstown who gave them their first big break.Their ultimate goal had been to sell 1,000 pounds of tomatoes per week, but there are 100 unforeseen obstacles and setbacks in any business venture.By accident rather than design, they began growing basil, and they greenhouse, Art Hodges and Patti Yager in their domed hydroponic sent their first seven bunches into Montreal to health-food stores.They have since tapped into the Central Market in Montreal and the basil they produce and ship is in high demand because of its quality.A grant which Patti had applied for, to expand their operation, finally came through in 1992 and See PLANTS page 3 2 \u2014 THE GLEANER \u2014 MAY 12, 1993 This and That in Town HOW ABOUT LAST WEEKEND?\u2014 we know people nursing sunburns

Bourassa!\u201d, sporting campaign-style Bourassa \"94 pins.But the premier is making no promises.One day after being givenacleanbill of health, Bourassa said he\u2019s taking life one mandate at atime.He'll be making a decision about his political future soon, taking into account his passion for politics, but also the feelings of his family, whoare known to be exerting pressure on him to retire.Now the bad news.Energy Minister and Deputy Premier Lise Bacon is sick.She checked intoaQuebec City hospital on April 29, and tests showed she was suffering from a pulmonary embolism - a blood clot which travels through a vein, lodging in the lungs.The condition is considered serious - requiring atleast 10 days of hospitalization - but not life-threatening.Her chief of staff, Luce Asselin, said on May 7 Bacon will probably be released on May 10, and back to work a week later.Language update It\u2019s time for the expected news: an addition to Quebec's lexicon of language laws - Bill 86.OnMay 6, Claude Ryan, minister responsible for language laws, tabled his long-awaited \u201cupdated\u201d version of Quebec's French Language Charter (Bill 101).In typical Liberal fashion, the new bill is a compromise \u2014 an attempt to please anglophones without angering francophones.It would allow busi- nessestopostsignsinmore than one language, provided Frenchis \u201cmarkedly predominant\u201d, but continue to prohibit most immigrants from English- speaking countries from attending Englishschools.Opening the schools to immigrants is considered a key concern for Quebec's anglophone community.The bill's other highlights include: * Granting all children an English-schooling eligibility certificate, as long as a parent has one, regardless of their language of education.The bill also includes a \u2018grandfather clause\u201d, so the offspring of eligible people \u2014 who already have attended French schools \u2014 preserve the right to receive instruction in English.* Revoking a municipal organization\u2019s bilingual status when the non- francophone population dips below 50 per cent \u2014 but only after the government receives the request from the organization.* Maintaining French- only highway safety signs, except when a good picto- gram is not available.A legislature committee is scheduled to study the bill starting on May 18, and it\u2019s expected to become law in late June.Cutting health costs There's also health news.On May 5, Health Minister Marc-Y van Côté rejected the Quebec Federation of Medical Specialists\u2019 proposal to reduce medicare coverage for mammograms in order to lower health care spending.Coté had asked specialists to come up with ways to slash costs by $30 million a year.Cutting back coverage on other services \u2014 like vasectomies, tubal ligations and cosmetic surgery \u2014 is still being considered.Maddening news And finally, news to infuriate tax-paying Que- becers (whoearned, bythe way, an average of $20,745 in 1991).André Saint-Jean, a long-timecivil servant, has been collecting more than $90,000 annually for three-and-a-half years as vice-chairman of the Justice Department\u2019s legal- aid commission, despite the fact he never went to work.It was reported that nobody wanted to share anoffice withhim because he had a nasty reputation.Saint-Jean, however, denies the accusation.Thenewsssurfaced April 28, and, lo and behold, two days later he was reappointed to a new position.StartingJune 1, Saint- Jean will be assistant deputy ministerof cultural communities and immigration.An exterior view of the dome greenhouse with a newer extension behind.Plants.from page 1 through in 1992 and they began the site preparations in August to erect two rectangular greenhouses

water is sent through an insulated pipe into the greenhouses.Excess hot wateriskeptin a 5,500 gallon reservoir built in a comer of the barn near the furnace (it\u2019s 13' long X 8' high).It takes 134

nights in the early fall and late spring.A 25,000kw gas generator is primed and ready\u2019 in case of a power shortage.It only takes half an hour after the water stops flowing through the growing tubes for the plants to start dying.The wood/water heating system provides more even heating while oil can cause hot spots in the pipes.Hydroponic growing means that plant roots are not grown in soil where they have to compete with other roots for nutrients in the water, and where soil- borne diseases can kill a plant.The plants are grown with their roots resting in circulating water.Art and Patti use a fertilizing concentrate which is water soluble and designed for use in greenhouses.The fertilizer contains everything needed and found in soil, including zinc and boron.QU IA LAWN AND YARD

runners, and the plants are pruned regularly.Pesticides are not used and eventually, the plants may be grown organically.Cucumbers, green peppers and tomatoes are grown to sell locally and privately: the tomatoes are often in great demand.Basil and Arugula (mustard green) are also grown and sold commercially.Basil is their largest export item.Research and experiments are being tried on other types of plants such as Mach (lamb\u2019s lettuce).Patti and Art are extremely pleased with their business venture on Highfield Farm.They find the hard work rewarding and are proud of what they have been

POSTAGE PAID AT CHATEAUGUAY GENERAL MANAGER: ROGER H.DAOUST EDITORIAL STAFF: - JUDITH TAYLOR, VALERIE FURCALL, CYRIL ALARY Recon QCNA AJRQ Gn MIDWIFERY JUST WON'T GO AWAY Without Medicare, would thrive in Quebec.\u2018A midwife\u2019s care throughout a woman's pregnancy costs between $2,100 and $2,450.A doctor\u2019s care costs $3,500.That $1,000 difference alone would make midwifery an attractive option, if people paid their medical costs directly.Even with Medicare, an estimated 1,000 Quebec women choose a midwife over a doctor each year.And midwifery is not even authorized in this province.The government has tried for the past two years and 10 months to introduce midwifery.Pilot projects were legislated in June 1990.Only one - in the native community of Povengnituk in northern Quebec - has been set up so far.With one exception, the government has been stonewalled by doctors.They have been instructed by their professional associations to dig in their heels and delay, deter and, overall, fail to cooperate with midwifery projects.(The exception is Cote des Neiges CLSC, which welcomes midwifery and is waiting for government approval for its pilot project.) Doctors\u2019 unwillingness to accept midwifery is that of anyone who lashes out blindly in a battle they are bound to lose.With 1,000 births assisted by midwives yearly, the doctors, recalcitrance is not only misplaced; it is absurd.Midwife-assisted births are ,not going to go away.Women choose , midwives for different reasops.Some : prefer the soothing atmosphere of a home delivery.Some \u201ccTa¥&*$ hospital deliveries cannot always offer - a promise that the person who follows the pregnancy will be the one on duty during delivery.There is a human touch to midwifery often lacking in the medical system.These people do nothing but assist in pregnancies and births; they are not poised to rush to the next hysterectomy or dash off to perform a pap smear.The sensible thing for doctors to do is cooperate, thereby aiding in women\u2019s safety, by cooperating, doctors allow midwives access to nearby hospitals if midwifery complications arise during delivery and the mother or baby requires emergency attention.Pregnancy is not a disease.Birth is not, as a rule, a medical emergency.The reason encyclopedias cannot trace the origin of the practice of midwifery is, undoubtedly, because it is as old as humanity.The midwife (midwif, mydwyf, medewife, as she has been known) was not much mentioned until the mid-1500s.Ancient Green writings deal with obstetrics, a synonym for midwifery, mostly as a guide telling doctors how to remove dead fetuses from the womb.There is virtually nothing written about midwives.Written knowledge of midwifery makes an appearance only because medical men start taking an interest.It\u2019s time doctors started sharing the responsibility for delivering babies.One would think they\u2019d welcome the idea.It would cut down on their notoriously busy schedules and allow them more time with each remaining patient.Perhaps it would get rid of those annoying waiting room lineups and allow time for patients\u2019 questions and proper warming of the cervical dilator.There are more pressing incentives.The government has demanded that specialists collectively cut $30 million yearly from Medicare bills and general practitioners have agreed to a $20 miilion reduction in their invoices.PE pa The medical system is proving too .- £2stly fgf the government to sustain, Ît is talking about \u201cdoing fewer mammograms, vasectomies and tubal ligations, chest X-rays, benign tumor removal and more.The government still talks about charging people for emergency-room visits when their conditions are deemed not to be emergencies.It makes economic sense to license midwives.Even more compelling, it makes social sense.This editorial first appeared in The Westmount Examiner and is reproduced by agreement.GLEANER ARCHIVES.125 years ago May 15, 1868 We presume there never was a spring when the crops were got in so early and in such good condition.It is intended to open a post office in Elgin, to be called Kelso.THE FISHERY QUESTION The Government has decided on exacting a license from all American fishing boats, for liberty to fish in Canadian waters of $2 a-ton, and to confiscate at once any boats found fishing without having paid said license.to enforce the law a number of revenue cutters are to be despatched to the fishing grounds.There will be a great outcry from the Americans about this new law, but they have only themselves to blame - they should not have repealed the Reciprocity Treaty.UNITED STATES .à well known character died, enjoining by will to be interred, if he dies during the summer, at six o'clock in the 100 years ago May 11, 1893 Franklin Centre \u2026 great demand for hay during the week,and the farmer who is fortunate enough to have a surplus is enriched to the extent of $12 a ton.potatoes are equally scarce and are now rated as an luxury, which but few can afford.excessive frost of the past winter.large quantity were frozen to the cellars of our farmers.ATHELSTAN One of the most pleasant of social gatherings occurred in the Presbyterian church.congregations of Athelstan and Elgin.the ladies of both congregations are proverbial for their good tea- meetings, and when they unite, it is to furnish the tables with abundance of the choicest.A temperance society has recently been started.about 80 have signed the pledge.HUNTINGDON CURCUIT COURT Mahoney vs.school trustees of Hinchinbrooke.Miss Mahoney had morning, and at eight if in winter, and 400 invitations were issued to his \u201cintimate friends\u201d to attend the funeral.Only 29 came, faithful till death.and received $320 (Sterling) if a lady, and $200 (Sterling) if a gentleman.The testator further directed that the names of those who received his bequests should be published in the journals, to punish those who would not put themselves out of their way to rise so early in the morning to attend his funeral.A family quarre!

McGill Hinchinbrooke Rockburn environmentalist replies to Latreille letter Normally, I would not react to the comments made by the president of the Beauharnois- Huntingdon Parti Quebecois riding association, Jean-Marie Latreille, in his letter published in the May 5 edition of the The Gleaner.In this instance, however, Mr.Latreille\u2019s remarks, made at the expense of federal Liberal candidate Linda Julien, were uncalled for and ungentlemanly; and a response is in order.Before sounding off in public, Mr.Latreille should get his facts straight.He says the P.Q.and the Havelock RRR environmental group first got together on the matter of the Ellenburg incinerator in February of this year.In fact, the PQ and Havelock RRR cosponsored a public meeting on this and other cross-border pollution problems late last fall in Havelock.As a result of incorrect information disseminated at that meeting concerning the Chateaugay, N.Y.wood-burning facility in particular, misinformed articles and editorials appeared in the Montreal media.Alarmed by the PQ's exaggeration of the number of incinerators that were supposedly being planned all along the U.S.-Canada border and upset by some of the false impressions being created, I enlisted the support of Havelock RRR and the Chateauguay River Rehabilitation Committee as cosponsors of a December 8 public meeting in Grove Hall, attended by some 150 Canadian and U.S.residents.As chairman of the meeting, | forwarded, in January, a letter containing a detailed list of the issues and concerns voiced in Huntingdon to Canada\u2019s Environment Minister, Jean Charest, who has not yet seen fit to reply.I would also like to point out that prior to that meeting, Mme.Julien invited me to speak about the U.S.incinerators at a Liberal dinner in Huntingdon and that she also attended the December 8 international meeting.Furthermore, it should be noted that Mr.Latreille was not in attendance at the April 28 hearings held in Ellenburg; and that neither Mr.Hudon nor Mr.Chenail bothered to attend or send their representa- tives\u2014the only local political candidate present was Mme.Julien.Surely, the real test of political effectiveness is not \u2018who said what to whom when,\u2019 but rather who has been of most use in protecting our interests.From my standpoint, Mme.Julien\u2019s training and expertise in the practice of law have been extremely helpful.While it may be that Mr.Latreille\u2019s wife, Denise St.Germain, was the first person from Canada to get herself accepted as a registered party by Judge Serbent for the Ellenburg hearings, Mr.Latreille is being intellectually dishonest when he insists that Mme.St.Germain has been the sole mover and shaker on this side of the border.As Mr.Latreille ought to know, Judge Serbent grouped Havelock RRR together with Mme.St.Germain for administrative convenience as * the Canadians,\u201d an irony that has not gone unnoticed hereabouts.Linda Julien's thoughtful letter to Judge Serbent was officially added to the extensive brief presented to Judge Serbent by Mr.William Hansen of Havelock RRR.So, the real story is that both sovereignists and federalists were recognized together as representing Quebec and Canada on this troublesome issue at the Ellenburg hearings.Scott Disher, Rockburn Births and Deaths Cards of Thanks, In Memoriams,

case should arise, we believe that New York State should take on the responsibility for any measure required to correct the situation, including decontamination, or for any compensation deemed justified in the face of the damages sustained.\u201d According to the DEC, the dump\u2019s design includes \u201cstringent controls to protect surface and ground waters.A leachate detection system and a double composite liner will collect and monitor leachate.A pore-pressure relief system will collect groundwater under the liner and remove it to ensure that seasonal high groundwater does not come intocontact withthe bottom of the liner system.And a series of monitoring wells will surround the site to provide early detection of contamination in the unlikely circumstance that leachate should escape from the liner.The strict daily operating requirements that will be specified in the landfill\u2019s operating permit will further minimize risk.\u201d ie A a Many thanks to M Farquhar

400-head rolling average, with 200 milking cows.While on this side trip to visit the Camerons at Homestead Lodge, the Lumleys were taken to see some of the areas operations, including Bryhill, Templedale, Gorecroft PCM Harvey Gjesdal on his Saskatchewan farm.Following the Ottawa ceremonies on April 21, the Gjesdals came to Howick to visit and renew friendships, staying at the home of

working on ideas that would make farming better and more productive.Throughthe years he has built a number of ma- chines\u2014about 25.Two have patents: the snow blower and the seed grain cleaner.The latter is manufactured in Winnipeg, with about 700 across Canada and some in the U.S.Other projects through the years have been rotary snowplows adapted for farm tractors (1949-50), self-propelled swathers (1956-57), a self-pro- pelled mower for the yard (1976),and a grain cleaner (1979) which took the place of three of four machines.The prototype was Photo: VF explained.The Camerons met the

fall there was widespread frost on the wheat crop which meant thata lotof well-filled, 60- Ib per bushel wheat was going to market and sold as feed grade.To find out if this wheat would make good
