Antilles Automobiles 649 Chemin Larocque 371-5563 Valleyfield, Qué.The year 1993 was one of belt-tightening and waiting for the recession to end, here in the Chateauguay Valley as elsewhere.But there were lots of good times, and a few disasters, too.In going through our files for the past year, we have come up with some of the main stories and issues which had an influence on the way we all lived out the year.Remember with us.JANUARY The New Year started with the christening of \u201cLe Suroft\u201d a designation of this area for purposes of promoting tourism.Unfortunately, it turned out not to be a year for massive expenditures, by tourists or anyone else.But there\u2019s always next year.i The Town of Huntingdon budgetted to hold the line on municipal costs during the year.At least one local textile plant, Cleyn & Tinker, looked with optimism to the advent of free trade, and reports indicated that the cross-border shopping mania was already beginning to fade, a trend which continued as the exchange rate rose.English-speaking farmers started a Farm Management Club and many started studying accrual accounting principles for their operations.FEBRUARY Huntingdon Council was able finally to lay its one-time police force to rest with the issuing of a Quebec decree to that effect.The force had been disbanded in 1987.School Board officials had already launched a campaign for government funding to buy an Ormstown building to house expanding Adult and Career Education departments.Some 40 Valley residents were honored with \u201cCanada 125\u201d medals issued by the Governor-general nationwide.\u201cSome people objected to the integration of mentally and physically handicapped people into the community through small group homes to be built in several locations.MARCH Brian Mulroney resigned, and political momentum began to build.It lasted, of course, until late October.The Huntingdon Optimist Club came up with the idea of paving the shoulders of highways in the area for bicycle paths.Since the abandonment of the CN rail line, the rail- beds offered another possibility for recreational development.The PSBCV was one of only three boards in the province to announce a new high school program to familiarize students with technology and discourage potential drop-outs from leaving school.Local forestry engineer René Dulude launched a \u201ctree hunt\u201d to record the biggest and oldest specimens in the Valley.MP Jean-Guy Hudon announced he would not seek office again, and Ormstown\u2019s Butch Cameron and family were victims of a disastrous barn fire which was met with help from neighbors and friends.Quebec was announcing budget cuts to public institutions, but hospitals and school boards in this are felt they could cope.APRIL Huntingdon decided on a major revision of its urban planning legislation, and the CAMO Committee was set up to index regional resources as a fire-runner to economic development.Flooding was widespread as the spring break-up moved ice down-river, and Huntingdon\u2019s Gordon McIntyre, with a little help from his friends at CVESPA, won his sign-law appeal to the United Nations court.The CVR Juvenile Girls basketball team brought home a provincial championship, and in Ormstown, it was announced that the Roads Department office would become a shadow of its former self as services become more centralized.The maple syrup season was \u201cshort and sweet\u201d allowing some of the \u201892 surplus to be cleared, and it was announced that Hinchinbrooke\u2019s Muir Forest would become a \u201crestricted ecology reserve\u201d.TO BE CONTINUED Mayor honored Huntingdon Mayor Gerald Brisebois (centre) was honored for his 30 years of service to the municipality at a pre-Christmas party in

by developer Samuel \u201cArchie\u201d Thompson.A film in Japanese with French and English interpretations by Thompson and his team, describing a similar process in Japan, was used to point out some pitfalls which Thompson said would be avoided in the proposed Quebec operation.A presentation on the process itself left the audience unimpressed.An expert who was supposed to be on hand to answer technical scientific questions \u2018\u201cwas prevented by an injunction from speaking,\u201d Thompson said.Thompson refused to say who had Suzanne Richard-Letourneau of Havelock RRR makes her point

declaration that his project is the (Photo: V.F) only one out of 30 original * applicants to survive preliminary Environment Ministry scrutiny.He implied that authorities have already given tacit

the Protestant School Board of Chateauguay Valley approved a resolution diverting amajorchunk of arecent $2.3 million grant toward this project.Two major snags remain: Quebec\u2019s Treasury Board

lived on Rte.201 near the Botreaux Rang in St-Malachie, was found inside the house by the Ormstown firemen who had to battle 25-foot flames to subdue the blaze, assistant chief Gordon Furey stated.When the firemen received the call from a neighbor, they were advised of the possibility that someone was inside.The body was found seated in a chair surrounded by several 110-watt space

JANUARY 12, 1994 This and That WELCOME BACK \u2014after a Christmas holiday which, for many Valley residents, invoived lots of sneezing, shovelling, and shivering in addition to the usual features of this time of year.We've been spoiled in recent years, it seems, and some have forgotten what \u201ca real old-fashioned Chateauguay Valley winter\u201d can mean.We have now been reminded, and with a vengeance.WE'RE SURE \u2014 you'll empathize with one Gleaner staffer\u2019s particularly horrendous day just after Christmas, at the height of the cold snap.A frozen car with a broken timing belt; frozen water pipes; a drifted-in woodshed; and to top it all off, a door which locked itself, leaving householder and plumber outside until help could be mustered to remove the door from its hinges \u2014 these were the main \u201chighlights\u201d of that day, one which we hope to forget quite soon.MEANWHILE \u2014 we have been launched into 1994, a year which has a friendlier look to it than the jagged and uncompromising 1993, about which not too much good can be said.Let\u2019s hope that things are looking up on the economic level at least.We\u2019ve yet to see too much evidence of arenewal in this area, but it\u2019s certainly time for an upswing, RUMOR HAS IT \u2014 that Cleyn & Tinker\u2019s Huntingdon operation has changed hands recently.Réal Morin, the plant\u2019s senior vice-president in charge of production, told The Gleaner Monday that he \u201cwould neither confirm nor deny\u201d the transaction.If there were any public statement to be made, it would come via a press release from the company, he said.THIS WEEK \u2014 is Registration Week for Adult Education popular coursesin the Valley.In Valleyfield, the is one registration evening left at Gault Institute:

Thursday, that is, the Huntingdon Fair Board (or Huntingdon Agricultural Society Division A, as it is more formally known) will meet, also at the Town Hall at 8 p.m.Everyone is welcome to this one

have to be a UPA member to enjoy this evening out, Penny said.PRENATAL COURSES \u2014 offered by the Huntingdon CLSC are in full swing.In Ormstown, an English- language session will begin Block 2

bread, might be true.But many people are still saying, \u201cExplain things so we can understand; answer our questions clearly and unequivocally - in short, convince us that our environment and way of life won\u2019t be messed up by this project\u201d.Other are demanding a referendum among local residents to decide whether the installation should go ahead.If those voting are given access to objective information on which to base their vote, this would be a good idea.The key word here is \u201cobjectivity\u201d and it doesn\u2019t sound like Monday night\u2019s meeting provided enough of it.The other major news story this week is an encouraging one which, however, still involves several \u201cifs\u201d.If Quebec\u2019s Treasury Board can approve a PSBCV resolution fast enough, and if no other serious buyer appears in the meantime, the Valley could have a new Adult and Career Education facility.This would not only improve the quality of vocational and career training available to local people; it would also case the strain on CVR and improve things for our high school students.It is a tribute to the spirit of cooperation on the school board that a resolution allowing the Chateauguay Adult Education sector fork over almost two thirds of its hefty grant to this part of PSBCYV territory passed by a huge margin of commissioners who are drawn from both ends of the Valley.That was a great New Year\u2019s resolution.: (J.T) January 8, 1869 We understand that the efforts of the parties who have been endeavoring to establish a Masonic Lodge in this village have been crowned with success.This new addition to the brethren of the mystic tie, will be known as the Chateauguay Lodge.When Elgin erects her town-hall, every municipality in Huntington will have one, with the exception of St Anicet and Godmanchester, neither of which have any urgent necessity for -such edifices.All the Halls are large and substantial buildings, and the portion of the Seignorial Indemnity money applied in raising them, has been well applied.New Year's day was one of the most unpleasant days we have had this winter.The thermometer stood at 4 deg.below zero, while a raw, piercing wind from the east prevailed.In consequence there was very little of the driving and visiting usual on that day.On Saturday the weather moderated, and since then we have had a thaw.Large quantities of hop poles pass daily en route for the States.David Smith of Godmanchester, sold 2000, which were taken away at once by 19 teams.Notwithstanding the low price of hops - as little as 6 cents per lb has been paid in Malone - our neighbours 55 years ago January 11, 1939 WAY BACK WHEN COMMUNITY WAGON NEARLY WORSHIPPED Elgin Township's oldest resident, the oldest surviving Fenian Raid Veteran in the district, one of the oldest masons, John S.Elder, at the age of 95 looks back.\u201cI remember when we used to walk six and seven mile to a dance in Elgin.We would dance all night and then walk home in the early hours of the morning ready to commence the day's work.There was no orchestra.Just one violin or sometimes two violins, but a good time was had by everybody present.\u201d Another form of entertainment in the old days was going for a ride in the double wagon.At one time the only wagon of this kind in the entire township of Elgin was made and owned by John Tully.25 years ago January 8, 1969 LEAGUE BOWL ALONG WHILE WINTER LASTS League bowling has attracted 310 enthusiasts this year from Huntingdon and its vicinity.Every week-day sees one or more of eight leagues in action at Valdo Bowling.SMASH-AND-GRAB JEWELLERY RAID Rings valued at $600 were snatched through the shattered display window of s >LEANER ARCHIVES.a nu RAS * CLT EVER 125 years ago :* *° are determined to persevere in their cultivation.Both of the Huntingdon battalions of Volunteers have been filled up.A large proportion of the men have only re-enlist- ed in order to serve out the requisite term of service that entitles them to a full discharge.There will be no need for drafting in Huntingdon at least, and it is doubtful if that unpopular measure will be put in force anywhere.a Soiree was held in the basement of the new Presbyterian Church, Dundee.The attendance was large, not less than six hundred persons being present.basement was tastefully decorated with evergreens, mottoes, flags, etc.Ample justice was done to a bountiful repast, provided by the ladies of the congregation.We must not forget to mention the Oysters, which, excellent in quality, and abundant in quantity, were in great request.The new church is of elegant design, and when completed will be quite an ornament of Dundee.Great credit is due to the taste and liberality of the people in erecting so beautiful an edifice for the worship of the God of their fathers.We commend them and their arduous undertaking to the sympathies and liberality of our Christian friends everywhere.used by the people of the district to go to church in.The church used was a little schoolhouse located in the middle of the present Athelstan cemetery.Robin Barrie, an old Scotch character of the district, said of this particular wagon, \u201cWe should fall down and worship it for there is nothing like in neither in the heavens above nor in the earth beneath nor in the waters under the earth.\u201d \u2026 Another popular form of entertainment was going on picnics.numerous places in the district had different names.Athelstan was called St.Michael.Potash was the name of Dewittville while Ormstown was called Durham and Fort Covington was known as French Mills.In the line of farming Mr.Elder recalled that they used to thresh about 25 bushels of grain in one day with a flail.Luxor Jeweller in Huntingdon.three trays of 10-carat rings stolen.ALL MILK PRODUCERS SHOULD CAST A VOTE FOR THE GROUP THEY WISH TO HAVE For almost two years now, the milk Producers.have been casting round for a body to represent their interests.Finally after some legal arguments, the Quebec Agricultural Marketing Board held a refercndum.Results.in favor of Syndicat.© Kye f= R-ol qy Letters Rural charms of Franklin area facing threat from tire plant We were surprised and very concerned when we read in The Gleaner that a tire-processing plant in this area was almost a fait accompli.We realize that people want jobs, but at what price?From a plant like this using millions of tires for 28 years, surely there will be emissions, fall-out, and tons of residue.Such a project is for an industrial area, not one of maple bushes, dairy farms and apple orchards.People love the St-Antoine- .Franklin Centre-Covey Hill area; > i it\u2019s a beautiful place with its PA countryside, apple blossoms, and\u2018.roadside stands in autumn.Asa -
