warning being issued until Monday, there have been no reports of any health problems associated with the water pollution.The town workers - everyone from Town Hall to the filtration plant to the fire

other human aspects of settlement.Many people provided photographs and old documents, suchas deeds, letters, etc.for the small exhibition.Mickey Maynard presented a beautifully executed family tree of the Keddy family with all members represented by miniature reproductions of their photographic portraits.Mr.Maynard is aresident of the U.S.with family ties on both sides of the border and his work

for a depository for those treasures whichdocument a very unique experience in our local history.Mrs.MacKenzie's interest in this area is the continuation of her work onherown family history.As she went along, she became more and more interested in facts and statistics.She has made \u201cFrequent trips to Ottawa, Quebec, and many U.S.cities in pursuit of information.The Montreal Public Library Archives and the Mullin St., repository of the Quebec Archives are popular haunts.Mrs.MacKenzie's interest and enthusiasm forher subject are of real and lasting benefit to local families as, without

Township of Hemmingford to form a special group specifically for the planning of these Bicentennial events.There have been some interesting ideas proposed to mark the festivities: centennial plaques for homes, signs posted on historical landmarks, the preservation and renovation of old family burial plots, period dress for bicentennial year for all the local citizenry, a \u201cflowering village\u201d competition, dedication of a new library building to house these treasures, walking tours, accumulation of old tales and legends, and a \u201crogues\u2019 gallery\u201d exhibition of

Hemmingford past in preparation for the bicentennial celebration of the official registration in 1799 of Hemmingford Township.Weencourage all French-Canadian families to participate in this event as well as many of these families were already on the land before the grants were sold.Please remember to contact someone at the library or Mrs.MacKenzie inSt-Lambertat 671-0854 if you have anything to

Tuktoyaktuk, on the Beaufort Sea, which they discovered was a worthwhile adventure.They enjoyed having dinner with an Inuit family, and were served musk ox soup, (whichthey founddelicious), bannock buns, smoked whitefish, and Eskimo doughnuts, which differed from regular doughnuts in that they were flat, and had seven or eight holes instead of just one! With the meal, they drank regular tea or coffee.All in all, the meal was delicious and very much appreciated.The next event was a motor coach trip from Inuvik to Dawson City, there is so much to see in this renovated, historical gold-mining city.There are the old wooden sidewalks, and dirt roads.Incidentally there are no \u201cfast food\u201d establishments permitted in this city.Here they had a lot of fun panning for gold, and were rewarded with a small gold nugget each.Then they visited the old renovated buildings, with their dance halls, and\u201d gambling dens.They also enjoyed an old time show THE GLEANER \u2014 SEPTEMBER 1, 1993 \u2014 7 withCan-Candancersetc.\u2026 at \u201cDiamond Tooth Gertie\u2019s\u201d,andattended the theatre to see an old melodrama.By all accounts, the scenery all around the area is spectacular, with the lofty mountains, lakes, rivers and a gorgeous assortment of wild flowers.The Oakmans were interested in visiting gold mining areas, and viewed anold dredging site where gold mining and panning were carried out in the old days.In the mountains around Dawson City, they saw the beautiful area in which Pierre Berton\u2019s old home is located.Apparently, Pierre bought back the old homestead, and is in the process of having itrenovated before 1 iN) Valleyfield couple enjoy | 118 to gold-rush country presenting it to the National Heritage Society.After Dawson City, it was on to Whitehorse in the Yukon, and from there on to Skagway, Alaska, where they boarded the cruise ship, \u201cCrown Princess\u201d for a four-day cruise onGlacier Bay, and the inside passage to Vancouver, B.C.The ship took them right into Glacier Bay, where they were able to see the \u201cCalving\u201d.This refers to the natural occurrence of ice actually blowing up of its own accord, with a terrific din.Pauline likened it to a severe storm with thunder and noise.On this trip also they were able to watch the whales and seals cavorting, and bald- headed eagles sitting on the ice floes.Valleyfield by Elsie Melanson + 373-7202 During the first couple of days.weekendof August, Marie Thenhedroveheronto Hughes accompanied her London, Ont.to spend a son Bob, his wife Bonnie, few daysathe home of his and granddaughter brother, Ronnie and his Debbie, of Whitby, Ont.and young friend Susan from Edmonton, on a weekend camping trip to Little River Park, in the Burlington, Vt.area.They all spent a wonderful weekend at the park, which boasts sandy beaches and swimming facilities.The group also did a little touring of the area, which they all very much enjoyed.They drove Marie back toherhome in Valleyfield, on Wednesday, Aug.7 before retuming home to Whitby.On Wednesday, Aug.l1, Lynn Hebert cameto Valleyfieldtopick up his mum, Emily;
