November 30 at tCVR The Chateauguay River Rehabilitation Committee announced this week that its Annual General Meeting, normally held in October, will be staged Tuesday Nov.30 in the CVR auditorium, Ormstown.The feature presentation will be a spectacular slide show by well-known local photographer Phil Norton.The slide collection includes images of the river, its wildlife, its beauty and its problem areas, from Upper Chateauguay Lake in New York through the Valley, to the St.Lawrence River.The collection, assembled over a period of years, was recently supplemented by a series of aerial photographs shot in September when Norton and CRRC President Don Rosenbaum flew over the area in a small plane.It was shown for the first time at an international forum held in PQ adds voice to calls for MENVIQ study One of Ph orton\u2019s photos which capture the essence of the Chateauguay River and its environs, this classic shot shows the old mill at Huntingdon.À slide presentation will

tire-burning plant The local Parti Québécois has spoken up on the issue of tire dumps in the area, supporting the position of localenvironmentalists.The latter have been attending municipal council meetings seeking support for a resolution calling for an Environment Ministry study on the proposed gasification plant for Franklin.Local PQ president Jean-Marie Latreille met recently in Valleyfield with Pauline Marcois, PQ environment critic in the National Assembly.Together, they reviewed the dossier which, Marcois said, has been a priority with the regional PQ organization since 1988.There are an estimated 12 - 15 million used tires stored in three dumps inthe triangle of Ormstown, St-Antoine-Abbé and St- Chrysostome, not counting the illegal dumps.A program toeliminate the giant used-tire dumps was drafted in 1991 at the party\u2019s provincial convention.\u201cIt is important to look at the long-term impact,\u201d Latreille said.\u201cThe gasification plant would operate for 28 years.The agricultural, forestry and tourism vocations could be affected negatively, as could the development strategy for this section of the Suroît.\u201d The plant would need tires imported from the United States, Latreille believes, and this trucking affects the quality of life for the population, its tourism efforts and wears out roads faster.Latreille mentioned the industrial parks in Valleyfield and Beauhamois as being possible sites for tire processing projects.À tire shredding plant and a pyrolysis project in Valleyfield\u2019s industrial park are waiting only for ministry approval, he said.Hydro Quebec officials stated publicly last week that projects which produce electricity asaspin- off of another process, are neither needed noreconomical forQuebec at this time.New Hemmingford mayor Mario Fortin gives annual report, names committees by Florence Ellerton Hemmingford Correspondent New mayor Mario Fortir presided at his first meeting, wher Hemmingford Village Council held a special session on Thursday evening Nov.18 with all councillors present.Council discussed the sale of the building at 517 Frontiere St.Twc councillors willmeet with potential purchasers.Article 955 of the Municipal Codestates that, at least four weeks before the new budget is tabled, the mayor shall report on the financial position of the municipality.The report covers the latest financial statements and the latest auditor\u2019s report, preliminary information regarding the financial statements for the period preceding that for which the next budget will be made, and the general orientation of the next budget.The text of the report must be distributed free of charge to every civic address in the municipality, and/or the council may order that the text be published in a local newspaper.A copy of this report presented by Mayor Fortin will be sent to each household shortly.The mayor said he will be available every Monday to serve local residents.Committees were appointed for 1993-1994 as follows: Pro-mayor: Edwin Keddy.See MAYOR page 3 MARIO FORTIN Township recount gives D.Hadley 8-vote victory First woman pro-mayor named Monday night Judith Taylor THE GLEANER Donald Hadley is the new mayor of Hemmingford Township, following a judicial recount which left him witha 303- 295 vote margin over opponent Evangelos Koutsavlis.The original voting on November 7 hadresultedinathree- vote edge for Hadley (309-306) followed by the call for the recount, which took place Monday afternoon Nov.15 infrontof Judge Boyer of the Valleyfield Civil Court.Both candidates were present as the judge and two aides examined all ballots cast, counted unused ballots, and allowed each candidate to examine his opponent\u2019s ballots and question any which seemed doubtful, municipal secretary Margaret Hess told The Gleaner.Once the final figures are established, there is no further appeal on the vote count, Hess said, although other aspects of the election may be contested during the 30 days following the original vote.Hadley served as mayor previously, before Yvon Gravel took over the post four years ago.Koutsavlis had resigned his council seat in order to run for mayor, andso now heisleft without See RECOUNT page 3 DONALD HADLEY New Civil Code and farm grants topics at St-Jean-V'field U.P.A.Annual general meeting draws 100 at St-Rémi Valerie Furcall THE GLEANER \u201cChanges to Quebec\u2019s Civil Code are definitely going to affect farmers, and the more they are in debt, the more the new regulations will end up costing them,\u201d said Chateauguay Valley UPA president Gavin Stairs.He was among some 100 producers from the St-Jean-Valleyfield Federation who attended the union\u2019s annual general meeting November 18 in St-Rémi.A handful of Chateauguay Valley syndicate members, who weren\u2019tat the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, harvesting corn or doing outside fall work, heard a simultaneous translation of the day\u2019s proceedings.Stairs, Penny Anderson, and Michael Crossling Farm accounting courses to be offered in English They're free, they're offered in English at the local high school, and they\u2019re recommended to farmers as \u201ca management tool in order to efficiently operate a farm business\u201d says Alfred Moore, agronome with Quebec\u2019s Société de financement agricole.The farm accounting courses, Bookkeeping and the Financial Statement as a Management Tool, are offered through the Société de financement agricole An information session is scheduled for 10a.m.on Monday, November 29 at Chateauguay Valley Regional (Room 107) in Ormstown.Farmers wishing to borrow money through the Société have been required for the past two years to present a financial statement based upon the accrual method of accounting, Moore said.The 90-hour course is being taught by Jeff Webber of Cowansville.Participants will work off their farm books and receive personalized instruction in the Financial Statement sessions.À registration fee applies.Twelve people are required for enrolment, andthe course is offered tothose involved in the agricultural industry.For more information, contact Bernard Brouillette (Ste-Martine MAPAQ office) or Alfred Moore (370-3040).See COURSES page 3 were among those who attended.A notary explained changes to the Civil Code which are scheduled to take effect January 1994.UPA secretary Jean-Luc Poirier said the changes are complicated: they affect property salesand purchases, wills, marriage, loans, and other financial transactions.The implications are far-reaching, and not easy to explain, he added.Under the Code, the sale of a farm will be treated as a commercial sale; and the rules relative to financing animmovable property will apply.Young farmers with a high school leaving diploma or equivalent have untii March 31, 1994 to apply for the establishment grant of $15,000.After this date, they will be no longer eligible unless they complete further studies, according to criteria set by the Société de financement agricole, (former Quebec Farm Credit Bureau).Stairs said that as soon as a date could beset andaspeakerengaged, the Chateauguay Valley syndicate wouldhaveanEnglishinformation meeting to inform members of changes to the Code.Certainly the changes will be felt by farmers with a high mortgage anddebt, though maybe

gave retired Ormstown veterinarian John Whitehead memories to last a lifetime.His stay at a State agricultural farm near the Black Sea showed him the difficult conditions the people endure since the Ukraine\u2019s breakaway from Russia in 1990to revert to an independent state.The Western media gives the reports accurately on political and military happenings, but the day- to-day picture isn\u2019t revealed, Whitehead said.The problems of trying to cope in a country which doesn\u2019t have any economic stability are enormous.\u201cThe people are poor.There is no gasoline or diesel fuel to run equipment, and electricity is used sparingly.The inflation rate (of the Kupon) was almost 100 per centinthe five weeks I was there,\u201d he wrote in a follow-up report.The preferred currency is the American dollar.\u201cThe people are very depressed with their lot and cannot see anything better in front of them.They are ashamed oftheir country.Many people are content tomuddle along in the same old way without havingtomakeanefforttochange.\u201cEverything is \u2018pre-change\u2019, and is wearing out.They have no Horse-drawn transport is not uncommon © on Ukraine

he came home touched by the \u201ctremendous generosity\u201d of the people he met.\u201cThey would take stuff off walls and out of cupboards \u2014 giftsofhand-painted trays, stitched table cloths\u2014and insist that I take it.They were so generous, it was very embarrassing,\u201d hesaid.\u201cThey couldn\u2019t do enough for you.The kids hugged me and we would play together.\u201d Family matters so much to them, and they wanted to know all about his family and see pictures of Canada and leam how we live.On the state farm where Whitehead \u201ctried to give some guidance

CLASS POSTAGE PAID AT CHATEAUGUAY NEW YORK, 12920 AJRQ GENERAL MANAGER: JOCELYN RANGER EDITORIAL STAFF: JUDITH TAYLOR, VALERIE FURCALL, CYRIL ALARY Audit Bureau of Circulations Gon Editorial BOTTOM LINE : T.L.C.If you cast your eyes to the right of this editorial, you will read an upbeat letter from a reader who had a great time at the recent special activities organized by the Huntingdon County Hospital in conjunction with Recreation Week in health care institutions.Last week\u2019s Gleaner featured a story on the $15,000 raised by the recent Barrie Bazaar, put on annually by that institution\u2019s Women\u2019s Auxiliary as a major fund-raising project.And also on last week\u2019s front page was an item announcing that Don Davidson has been named to succeed Gilles Vallée as head of the Huntingdon Hospital\u2019s Board of Directors.All this upbeat local news while on the provincial level, reports are telling us gloomily about the latest scheme from the Health Ministry to cut costs by eliminating financial support for drugs for some chronic \u201cwalking cases\u201d.There are two points of view here and both are valid.It is certainly true that the overall health care system is facing the need for an overhaul, and that such a process, once launched, rarely makes services cheaper or more comprehensive for the average person.More efficient?Perhaps, and in the long run, that\u2019s a good thing.But somebody always ends up with the short end of the stick when cuts are made.But, until a direct impact is felt \u2018 from something like this, your above- mentioned average person here in the Chateauguay Valley is prone to put more importance on what he or she sees and experiences close to home and at first-hand.So it would seem likely that unless and until changes emanating from Quebec City begin to gnaw seriously at our sense of being well cared for - and we're not saying this won\u2019t happen, mind you - the perception is that we are very lucky in our local hospitals, Centres d\u2019Accueuil, CLSCs, and other public health facilities.The hospitals in particular enjoy a strong tradition of public support.Fund-raisers, memorial donations, endowments - all have played a role in helping our two hospitals stay abreast of technology.But more important still, if you compare those in this area with a big city institutions, our hospitals are truly human places, staffed by caring friends and neighbors, treating patients as people rather than numbers on a medicare card.It may well be true that everyone in town will know about your bunion within 24 hours after you have furtively taken off your sock in the doctor\u2019s office with the blinds drawn.It is also true that just about everyone in town will then ask you how it\u2019s doing.And many of them will care.What more can you ask?(J.T) GLEANER ARCHIVES.125 years ago November 27, 1868 From different accounts we have received, it would appear that great scarcity of fodder prevails on the north shore of the St.Lawrence.in a few extreme cases fair cows have been sold as low as $10.The number of accidenis which have occurred in this District during the past few months is without precedent.Since the first of last July, we have recorded 17, of which 1! were fatal.In the same period, there were seven fires, in only two of which was the loss covered by insurance.another fateful accident.Wm Henderson, senr, of the Gore, Hinchinbrooke,.had gone to Durham (Ormstown) where he disposed of some produce.On returning home, he halted at the well in order to give his horse a drink, before driving up to the house.In getting out of the vehicle, which was a Scotch cart, he either overbalanced himself, or his foot on the tram slipped, for he fell forward on his face on the ground.His son, a boy, who was with him in the cart, drove up to the house and told his mother that his father had fallen from the cart, and was lying on the ground.They went to lift him, but found he was dead.Corner Anderson held an inquest, when it appeared from the evidence that death had resulted from fracture of the skull.Mr Henderson was 72 years old, and 55 years ago November 23, 1938 CUTLING CLUB HOLDS BIG STAG PARTY More than 250 pounds of turkeys were handed out in bingo prizes at the Grand Stag Party held under the auspices of the Huntingdon Curling Club at O'Connor Theatre.In a grand raffle that was held two due bills were handed out.second one of 310 went to David Watson of Athelstan.Card playing was indulged in at about 25 tables.Many diversions.such as Chines raffle, horse race games, balloon bursting with darts and roulette, etc.Only one unfortunate incident marred the proceedings.Mr.Hector Provost won one of the turkeys and set it aside at the back of the stage to pick it up later.25 years ago November 27, 1968 VARIETY SHOW WITH 1-ACT PLAY WELL RECEIVED AT HEMMINGFORD Three of the Chateauguay- Huntingdon's W.I's joined forces to present an excellent evening's entertainment.To get the program off to a rousing start, there was foot-tapping music played by Matt McKell on the violin, accompanied by Mrs.Russell Stewart.Mr.and Mrs.W.Craig brought their \u201cDancing Puppets\u201d and put the ¢ leaves a young family behind him.The Court of Queen's Bench, Criminal Term, opened at Beauharnois Friday.a nephew of the Attorney General acted as Prosecutor, a position he did not fill to advantage.Quite a number of cases, chiefly of a petty nature, were tried, but in every case, except one, the prisoners, who were mostly Canadians, were acquitted, altho\u2019 the guilt of several was very apparent.The solitary conviction was in the case of a Mr.Henderson, a farmer from Bean River, who was fined $10 for assaulting a man whom he had agreed with to work on his farm.The Grand Jury found \u201cNo Bill\u201d to S indictments against a notary who was accused of forgery in connection with the finances of the St Jean Chrysostome church.The thieves who were arrested near the same place last summer, did not appear, and thereby forfeited their bail.Mr Adams, who was accused of setting fire to Gregg's saw mill, was acquitted.Nine jurymen were fined $10 each for not appearing, on Elliott, the advocate, complaining there were not sufficient old country men present to make up an English-speaking jury.Of the nine thus fined the majority are from Hemmingford and several of them are exempt from age and other causes.One of them is a woman, Dorothy Craik, whom the sheriff had placed on the list by mistake.When he returned to take his turkey hone later on it was nowhere to be seen.Mr.Provost stated that if some one needed the turkey more than he did it was O.K., but he wasn't particularly enthusiastic about the way in which the turkey was taken.DISTRICT BREEDERS AWARDED NUMEROUS PRIZES AT ROYAL WINTER FAIR \u2026 The Chateauguay Valley fames not only in the Province of Quebec but also throughout Canada for its excellent cattle breeders, had numerous entries.district breeders who received first places.R.R.Ness & Sons, Howick, P.D.McArthur, Howick; Gilbert MacMillan, Huntingdon.Market swine results gave George Hooker of Ormstown numerous awards.little dolls through some fancy routines.to the violin and piano music of Mr.and Mrs.Everett Orr.Appropriately enough, one of the tunes played was Jingle Bells to remind the audience that they came through snow to attend the show.These two acts came from.a charming trio, Miss Susan Fingland, Miss Linda Gruer and Miss Lynn MacFarlane.The girls sang tunes from the well-loved \u201cSound of Music\u201d.A short skit by Mrs.R.Petch and Mr.R.McKay brought shouts of laughter.ORAN Letters Patients enjoy \u201cDay at Races\u201d to celebrate Recreation Week On Wednesday Nov.17, family and friends of patients at the Huntingdon Hospital were invited to an evening of fun to celebrate Recreation Week.A great deal of work had gone in to making the recreation room come to life as the \u201cBlue Bonnets Race Track\u201d.Everything but the horses were there, and they were displayed on the large screen which added to the excitement.We were all winning and losing play money so fast and it was great to see the patients in such a happy atmosphere.Make my day, put 40 candles \u201con my cake! IN MENORIAM À big bouquet to all the staff at the hospital especially Christiane Meloche who took all our \u201cmoney\u201d.I overheard a patient saying, \u201cI reads:- just love everyone of the nurses and staff who look after me.\u201d Isn\u2019t that wonderful?I have a favorite verse that If nobody laughed and nobody sang/And nobody cared about you,/If nobody spoke a word of cheer/To help your long day through, /If all the joy went to the great/And nothing remained for the small,/Then surely the World would be upside down/And life hardly worthwhile at all/ So let\u2019s keep our world right- side up and take time to/care for those less fortunate than ourselves.MONTPETIT Funeral Home RODRIGUE MONTPETIT proprietor FUNERAL DIRECTOR MODERN PARLORS CREMATION Pre-arrangements 170 Chateauguay St.HUNTINGDON 264-5331 Summer Res.: 371-0699 CLEYN, François In loving memory of a beloved father, father-in- law and grandfather who passed away November 26, 1973.20 years have passed and fond memories of you still last.Sadly missed and always remembered by your loved ones.CARD OF THANKS Huntingdon Minor Hockey would like to thank everyone who supported our bingo.Thanks to your overwhelming support the bingo was a tremendous success.A special thank you to Robert Beaudry for going out of his way to ensure our success!
