WHATS IN A NAME?The move to \u201crationalize\u201d the naming of streets and roads within a singie municipality is one aspect of municipal fusion which never really attracted our attention until this week's item on St-Chrysostome, where this task is now being tackled.It's obviously a sensible project, to eliminate extra names for some road segments, and to organize street numbers to make everything more logical and easy of access for emergency services, mail delivery, and anyone who's scanning mailboxes and house numbers to find an unfamiliar location.But like so many other things, what you gain in some ways, you lose in others.Inevitably, as the amalgamation process continues across the province, bits of history will be lost as some old names are in favor of consistent and efficient toponymy.There are many names in the Chateauguay Valley which carry their own stories.In some cases these refer back to early settlers\u2014 either many others \u2014 or perhaps where they originally intended to go, which we believe was the case with the Australia Concession.And the Tullochgorum is a nice i you're not likely to find in too many other places.We suspect that such name changes, when they come, will see many historic English-lan- guage designations disappear in accordance with our revered provincial government's francization policy.All this to say that perhaps a worthy project for local students or older history buffs might be to catalogue the origins of our tradtional road names before they are wiped off the map.gD FROM GLEANER ARCHIVES .120 years ago March 10, 1881 KEEP IT CLEAN On Monday evening the ladies of the Methodist congregation gave their first tea-meeting in the new building.After an abundant repast, the Ret Mr Longley of Hemmingford delivered a lecture on Robert Burns.He gave a very full sketch of the poet's life, a difficult matter to do with consistency to truth and with a due regard to the proprieties of a mixed audience, and then touched upon bis qualities as a poet \u2014 bis simplicity, bis bumor, and the fidelity of bis delineations of nature .There was a large attendance and $50 were realized toward the reduction of the

that the corn borer bas played havoc with corn crops in recent years in the Municipality of St.Anicet, the council of that tounship passed a resolution at its regular meeting .asking the Department of Agriculture of the province of Quebec to forbid the cultivation of corn within its limits during the next few years.The council deemed it advisable to adopt this medsure as, in their opinion, they realize it is impossible to combat this pest with ordinary measures.COAL THIEVES Coal thieves are again on the march in the toun of Huntingdon.There bate been complaints lodged by the storers of coal near the New York Central station who claim that coal bas been repeatedly stolen from their premises this winter.30 years ago Late on Thursday evening, Police Chief Emile Beauchamp balted a young man bauling six bags of coal on a sleigh.The youth was halted at a close proximity to the coal yard and was ordered to return the stolen goods.He was warned for the first offense and told that a jail sentence would be imposed the next time be would be caught.GLEANER CARD PARTY The card party sponsored by the employees of the Huntingdon Gleaner Inc., which was held in the Gleaner plant on Monday

a man, a woman, or a young farmer who meets the criteria of an agricultural producer.A unanimous vote at the syndicate\u2019s February 22 annual meeting supported that principle, when members rejected a new policy from UPA headquarters, urging that a special seat be created on each board for a woman, agricultural producer or not, who would have full voting privileges.The prevailing view was that the syndicate does not want to create any kind of a gender- or age-s ic seats.As far as the existing directors were con- cemed, four (John Lukassen, Willi Melcher, Peter Bienz and Neil Mackay) had their mandates renewed, and a new director, John Cosgrove of Howick, was welcomed.A special presentation marked Penny Anderson\u2019s 20 years as secretary to the local syn- icate.Guest speakers Guest speaker was agricultural technician Pierre Filion who focussed on the hot topic of heat units for com.He handed out statistical information sheets, showing changes from re- Some of the Chateauguay

MacDougall Hal Representing the UPA's regional office in St- Rémi was Bernard Vincent, who explained projected changes the MAPAQ is making to the school/municipal tax rebate system for farmers.The ministry hopes to have the new system in place by April 1; study committees have been set up and the UPA and MNAs are in agreement but the MAPAQ is not.It wants to operate on a closed budget and limit the claiming period to December 31.Vincent said the Agriculture ministry should be complaining loud and long on farmers\u2019 behalf, to have the program applied fairly, and to stop tampering with budgets.There was some good news for farmers who handed in their CN deeds a few years ago: the deeds are now in the hands of the UPA and will be sent out to their owners over the next month.Syndicate reports Representatives of the specialized syndicates within the Chateauguay Valley UPA gave brief updates on their respective areas of production.Hugh Sutherland of the Sheep and Lamb syndicate stated that the sheep business is quiet at this time, but the classification of carcasses is now in effect.Producers are concerned with improving marketing structures and the new Financiere Agricole, which will affect all farmers.Harold Merson of the Fruit and Vegetable growers reported on ongoing negotiations with MAPAQ.As in most businesses, he said, the cannery would like to reduce farmers\u2019 payments on land rented Goodies, recipes shared Samples of home baking from each member, plus recipes to duplicate the goodies, were featured at the March 1 meeting of the Franklin Women's Institute.Nine members gathered at the home of Helen Blair, with Vonnie Ste-Croix acting as co-hostess and president Muriel Sutton in the chair.Conveners\u2019 reports touched on the temporary Canadian ban on importing Brazilian beef: the importance of parents getting involved in physical activities, in order to of Franklin WI encourage their children to take part in organized sports; Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien's support for China's efforts to preserve its culture: the little girl in western Canada who nearly lost her life to hypothermia; and Canada\u2019s first

growers are in mediation right now, and seemed to be headed for litigation.The Poultry sector is running smoothly, according to Steve Lalonde; production is up due to strong demand.Increased fuel costs are a bit of a problem, he said., and the West is clamoring for more of the quota.The producers\u2019 federation resolution to maintain compensation relative to the actual cost of

for fertilizing, as well as pesticides.By the year 2002, he said, farmers will be forced to use organic seeds to grow organic foods.Doug Brooks pointed out that the biggest issue for the Beef industry will be the Canada- wide permanent ID program, which came into effect January 1.He noted that an English-language video is available on raising feeder calves, and the Beef Federation also has a website.The vaccination program for feeder calves is now three years old, but farmers still are not comfortable with it.There is talk of creating a fund to compensate farmers who do vaccinate (a topic at the March 2 meeting in Chateauguay).After july 1, 2002, farmers will be fined for calves not vaccinated.The cost-of-production formula is still very important to farmers, including cash croppers, stated Danny Anderson.The annual meeting of the Commercial Crop syndicate will be held in the spring.On the agenda will be a has as yet been set for that crop.While paraformaldehyde is illegal, some producers are still using it, thus creating a problem for those who obey the law.Some 300 random tests for the banned substance will be performed this year.Peter Ednie, also a syrup producer, pointed out that consumers following the story in the media, who hear the word \u201cpesticide\u201d used in connection with maple syrup, are not likely to buy the product.On the subject of Apple production, Peter Ednie reported that dif culties are ongoing.They date back to hail damage in 1998, when crop insurance did not compensate farmers.The growers took the case to court and won, but now the rules have been changed and a grower must prove he couldn't sell his crop.Negotiations are still under way for a final payment for the 1999 harvest.he said.A highlight is that both sides have accepted a cost- of-production formula.(P Anderson/[T) CONSTRUCTION SAFETY COURSE FRIDAY MARCH 23 MARCH 24, 25, 30, 31, APRIL 1 Times: Fridays 7 pm - 10 pm Saturdays-Sundays 9 am - 4 pm (as required by the

Howard's idea was not to allow Leads to remove any stones from play, even those in the house.At first, the new rule was generally accepted; however, Leads complained that they would never get to throw a take-out .As a result, it was changed to allow the fourth rock to be a take-out or peel.Also, rocks in the rings could be removed.This is the basis of the \u201cfree guard rule\u201d we use now, and it has indeed improved the game: a team can be losing by several stones but can still come back.Now, players are suggesting a return to Howard's original Moncton rule, the \u201cfour- rock rule\u201d, which they say would make the game even better.The result will be that no rocks, except those in the house, may be removed by Leads (the first four stones).This may result in more interesting games, but there is à cost involved tor non-professional curlers.The average recreational player may find his or her fun limited if Leads cannot remove stones, Still, this seems a small price to pay for the exciting curling which will result.Season nears end Although it doesn't yet look much like spring, it's not far off.Many local clubs are rushing to squeeze in their last bonspiels and special events.Check the board at vour club to be sure you don't miss out on some last-minute draw .time is precious at this late stage of the season.This weekend will see American teams in Montreal for thé annual International Gordon Medal play.This event alternates between the US.and Canada.Its always lots of fun.and winds up with a gala dinner.To share your curling news or information, please call or fax Brent Harrison at 827-2392, or use the web at >> FranklinStudio.com (bbarrv@total.net) @ «de - oD of tw n qe , 4} 93 M5 ;

location these days, as it houses not just one but several groups and associations connected with the English-speak- ing population, covering not only the Cha- teauguay Valley but also all of Southwestern Quebec and even the province as a whole.Primarily known by its new owners, the Chateauguay Valley English-Speaking People\u2019s Association (CVESPA), the building also provides office space for the Community Table, an umbrella group covering eight Quebec regions with significant numbers of English-speakers, and also for the Southwest Quebec Community Economic and Employability Committee (CEDEC).It was the last-named group which welcomed over 40 people from around the Haut-St-Laurent, representing everything from churches to community groups to municipalitics, to a March 3 forum, designed to get people together and get them thinking about ways to revitalize the En- glish-speaking sector.: \u201cThe CEDEC is meant to act as a catalyst tor English-speaking people to assess the strengths and needs of their own communities and, from there, to come up with ideas to improve their own situation,\u201d said CEDEC spokesperson Christine Filion.One example of the kind of project already under way is the conversion of a disused church in Elgin into a multi-faceted community centre.Last summer and fall saw a group of volunteers organize several successful activities there, and the group is \u201crarin\u2019 to go\u201d again come spring, Filion said.Presentation, workshops The three-hour Saturday-afternoon session included a presentation on the CEDEC by Filion

musicians.Producer Bob Dawson said he hopes the film will be of particular interest to younger people when But English-speaking people, especially older, unilin- gual residents, also feel chronically under-informed.This has partly to do with the predominance of French at all levels of official communication, but also because there is less networkin among anglophones of different communities and different affiliations than might be desirable.\u201cThe forum was meant to bring people togther to talk about their community, and it's only a first step.Many people at the forum left saying firmly that they wish to continue the initiative, and do more along these lines.And that\u2019s what we were hoping for from this first encounter,\u201d Filion said.Minority-language program The CEDEC is one of the federal government agencies set up in Quebec in the context of minority-language needs, agencies which have their counterparts among francophone communities outside Quebec, especially in Western Canada.Christine Filion addresses delegates at the CEDEC Forum.It is not, however, a source of project funding.\u201cWe're here to help people get moving,\u201d said Filion, * and to help them understand what resources they have, find those they dont have, and how to organize themselves to meet their needs.\u201d There definitely will be a follow-up meeting in April, she said.The Forum

SOURCE Amorcé le 26 février dernier au palais de justice de Valleyfield, le procès de Deanna Richards et Daniel Krafft, tous deux accusés négligence criminelle relativement au décès de leur enfant agé de deux mois en novembre 1996, a pris fin de façon abrupte la semaine dernière.Le juge Michel Mercier de la cour supérieure a ordonné vendredi dernier l\u2019arrêt des procédures judiciaires entreprises contre le couple de Hinchinbrooke.Après avoir rendu sa décision, il a libéré l'homme et la femme sur-le-champ.La fin du processus judiciaire contre le couple a été décrété après que l'avocate de la Couronne, Me Anne-Andrée Charette, eût fini d\u2019étaler les éléments de sa preuve dans cette cause.Depuis le commencement du procès, les avocats de la défense ont tenté maintes fois de mettre fin aux procédures judiciaires entamées contre le couple.À au moins six occasions, Mes Alain Brassard et Gilles Gingras ont adressé une requête en ce sens au juge, estimant que certains éléments de preuve nouvellement déposés devant le tribunal comme des rapports et d'autres documents, la présence d'un témoin-surprise et au à des contre-expertises et de recourir à des spécialistes pour les guider les empêchaient d'assurer à leurs clients une défense pleine et entière.Mais à chaque fois, le magistrat a repoussé les demandes de Mes Gingras et Brassard du revers de la main, en exigeant que le procès devait se continuer malgré tout.Bien qu\u2019il ait avisé la procureure de la poursuite de s\u2019en tenir à l'obligation d\u2019étayer à ses collègues de la défense ses éléments de preuve, le magistrat a fini par se convaincre d'accepter la requete des défenseurs et de mettre un terme au déroulement des procédures judiciaires.Au nombre des éléments de preuve dont Me Charette avait l'obligation de soumettre en cour se trouvaient, entre autres, le sang congelé du bébé et des documents importants.Selon le juge Mercier, toute la préparation de cette cause ne manque pas de susciter des doutes.Il s'est intérrogé sur le long délai de treize mois entre la mort de la petite Francine et l'arrestation par la Sûreté du Québec des parents et leur interrogatoire au quartier général.La Couronne établit que Deanne Richards a accouché d'un autre enfant en octobre 1997 et qu\u2019elle était enceinte au moment d'etre appréhendé, de meme que son conjoint, par la police.La dame mettra au monde un troisième poupon en décembre 1999.Le magistrat s\u2019est demandé pour quelle raison la SQ a émis un mandat d'arrestation à l'endroit de Mme Richards et l\u2019a envoyée derriere les barreaux au lieu d'une simple citation a comparaître devant la justice.Le couple fut mis en accusation dix-huit mois apres la mort de l'enfant.Le juge n'a pas manqué de souligner le dossier visiblement imcomplet de la Couronne puisque, après une enquête de dix-huit mois, aucune accusation n'avait encore été portée.À la suite de la décision du juge Mercier, Deanna Richards et Daniel Kraft ont quitté la salle d'audience en exprimant son soulagement, lui qui venait de traverser cinq années fort difficiles.Entouré d\u2019une meute de journalistes, de caméramen et de photographes, ils ont dit en peu de mots que le jugement les satisfaisaient.Présents en cour, les grands-parents du défunt bébé étaient tristes en apprenant l\u2019arrêt des procédures judiciaires contre le couple.Alex Richard, le père de Deanna, s\u2019en est pris vivement à la décision du magistrat et a réclamé haut et fort de la procureure de la Couronne qu'elle conteste le jugement.Sa fille Lorie, la soeur de Deanna, a aussi exprimé sa déception concernant le verdict.Selon eux, les accusés ont fait preuve de néglience grave en laissant leur enfant mourir de faim.Quant à l\u2019avocate de la Couronne, elle semblait secouée par la décision du tribunal.Me Charette avait l'intention d\u2019examiner le jugement en profondeur et de prendre quelques jours pour déterminer si elle peut porter le tout en appel.Selon la loi, un délai de 30 jours est accordé à un procureur pour déterminer si une décision d'un juge de première instance peut être contestée.Voir autre texte en page 13 Un commerce de Franklin endommagé par un incendie Un commerce de la municipalité de Franklin a été la proie des flammes tôt vendredi matin.L'incendie a causé des dommages considérables au dépanneur

pompiers de Franklin, Peter Ednie, qui a immédiatement eu recours à l\u2019aide des confrères de Hinchinbrooke, Ormstown, Huntingdon et Howick quand il a reçu un bref appel peu après cinq heures du matin d\u2019un voisin de l'autre côté de la rue.Le feu a pris naissance dans la boîte électrique du sous-sol de l\u2019établissement et s'est répandu à travers le plancher même jusqu\u2019à l\u2019extérieur de l'immeuble, lequel se trouve en face du bureau de poste local.Les autres immeubles n\u2019ont pas été menacés par les flammes.Quant aux dégâts dans le commerce, ils ont été causés par l'eau et la fumée.\u201cIl y a probablement bien des dommages sur les solives mais l'édifice n\u2019est pas une perte totale\u201d, a souligner le chef des pompiers de Franklin.La Sûreté du Québec du détachement du Haut-Saint-Laurent a été appelé sur les lieux de l'incendie et c\u2019est le constable qui a procédé aux constatations d'usage.= & me JEAN-PAUL LALIBERTÉ PHARMACIEN 4, rue BRIDGE,

toujours gravés dans la mémoire de ses citoyens.Un an plus tard, le comité organisateur et le conseil municipal s'apprêtent à ériger un monument symbolique afin de commémorer cet anniversaire qui constitue une page importante de l'histoire de la ville.Pour souligner la tenue de ces célébrations, une horloge décorative à quatre faces sera très prochainement installée dans un secteur achalandé du centre-ville de la municipalité.Elle doit être aménagée de façon à ce que les passants et les conducteurs de véhicules puissent la voir de tous les bords et de tous les côtés, tout en circulant de façon sécuritaire.Mesurant une quinzaine de pieds, cette horloge a été fabriquée par une entreprise de Saint-Isidore, la firme Paul Grégoire ltée.Celle qui se trouvera à Huntingdon va s\u2019apparenter aux autres du genre qui se trouve dans d\u2019autres localités québécoises comme Deux-Montagnes et L'Épiphanie.De par sa conception et son style, I'horloge a quelque peu la forme d\u2019un phare monté sur un haut support.Elle aura la même couleur que les lampadaires présents dans certaines rues de la ville.Autre caractéristique intéressante de cette oeuvre décorative: les cadrans pourront être visibles le soir venu puisqu'un mécanisme permettra de les rendre tout à fait ARNG lumineux.La municipalité, qui a çom- mandé l'horloge, la reçue en janvier dernier.Depuis, elle repose dans le sous-sol de l\u2019hôtel-de-ville en attendant d\u2019ê- tre installé pour de bon.La fabrication de ce monument a coûté quelque 9 000$ et un montant de 10 000$ est prévu pour son aménagement.Ilen coûtera quelque 9 000$ pour la fabrication de ce monument.Pour le financement de ce projet, une part du surplus du budget des fêtes avait déjà été réservée à cette fin, à la suite d\u2019une résolution du conseil de ville à l\u2019automne 2000.Les travaux de mise en place de l'horloge décora tive à quatre faces qui sera installée l'horloge seront très prochainement sous la

ministre Ménard Patrice Laflamme LA SOURCE Le conseil des maires de la MRC Le Haut- Saint-Laurent s'est adressé au ministre québécois de la Sécurité publique, Serge Ménard, pour qu'il révise le mode de financement des services de la Sûreté du Québec au niveau Par voie de résolution adoptée à l\u2019unanimité, les élus demandent au ministre de revoir le base de calcul pour le financement des activités de la SQ, notamment dans une région comme le Haut-Saint-Laurent.De plus, ils estiment que la contribution financière totale d\u2019une MRC ne devrait pas dépasser la moitié des coûts d'opération pour la présence policière sur son territoire.En ce moment, chacune des municipalités verse une quote- équivalant à 0,18$ par tranche de 100$ d'évaluation foncière pour la protection policière.Pour l'année 2 000, elles versent au total 1 659 755$ à titre de contribution pour l\u2019utilisation des services de la SQ.Mais lorsque les localités adopteront de nouveaux rôles d'évaluation à compter de l\u2019an prochain, elles risquent de dépenser quelque *2,3 millions$ si le taux de cotisation demeure le même.C'est le fondement même du mode de calcul présentement utilisé pour déterminer la part qu'une MRC a à verser pour le recours à la SQ qui est mis en cause par les maires.Ils croient que les coûts de financement pour la sécurité publique ne devraient pas reposer sur l'évaluation foncière des municipalités.Ils calculent notamment que l'évaluation foncière des terres agricoles a plus que doublé en trois ans.\u201cLes maires disent clairement que la richesse foncière n'a absolument rien à voir avec la sécurité publique.Ils veulent tout simplement que le Ministère établisse une nouvelle base de calcul pour la SQ, plus conforme avec la réalité de la région\u201d, estime le se- crétaire-trésorier de la MRC, François Lan- dreville.Lors de la mise en application de la réforme des services policiers en 1998, le ministre Mé- nard avait fixé à 0,18$ la quote-part des municipalités pour que celles-ci défraient à 50% les coûts de la protection de la SQ.Mais il semble que la réalité soit tout autre du côté de la MRC Le Haut-Saint-Laurent.\u201cSi on regarde pour notre région, la logique veut que nous devrions payer 1 200 000$ alors que là, la somme atteindra 2 300 000$, soit 100% des coûts.Les élus trouvent la facture pour le moins exagérée\u201d, soutient M.Landreville.Le maire de Saint-Chrysostome, Gilles Bi- gras, qui a appuyé la résolution, a l'impression que sa municipalité paie davantage pour ed pp Are elle icie.Il a expliqué qu'en 1997, i de Saint-Jean-Chrysostome et le villa de dAévaluation.\u201cLa formule comme telle n'est pas équitable\u201d, signale-t-il.Le conseil des maires estime que M.Mé- nard devrait profiter de l'introduction de sa prochaine refonte de la carte licière québécoise pour changer les règles jeu en matière de calcul du financement de la sécurité publique dans les municipalités.\u201cSachant bien que le ministre est en train d'élaborer les bases de sa réforme, les maires sont d'avis qu'il devra tenir compte de ces éléments qui s à ; a t-il fait savoi \u201d

SOURCE Le proces de Deanna Richards et Daniel Krafft, ce couple de Hinchinbrooke accusé de négligence criminelle ayant causé la mort d'un de leurs enfants en novembre 1996, a été entre autres marqué par le témoignage d\u2019une pathologiste qui a déclaré que le bébé est décédé, selon des termes médicaux qu'elle a employés, de \u201cmalnutrition chronique sans cause organique.\u201d Devant le juge Michel Mercier qui a présidé ce procès d'une durée de huit jours, le Dr Chantal Bernard, qui travaille à l'hôpital pour enfants de Montréal, a indiqué qu\u2019elle avait examiné les conclusions de l\u2019autopsie pratiquée sur la petite Francine Kraft à l'hôpital Sainte-Justine en novembre 1996 et qu\u2019elle a pu prendre connaissance de la fiche médicale du bébé.Elle s\u2019est assurée que l'autopsie avait été menée de manière méticuleuse.D'après le Dr Bernard, l'enfant est mort de malnutrition.Elle a soutenu avoir relevé des accumulations anormales de fer dans l'organisme du nourrisson parce que son foie était sous-utilisé.II n'est pas question pour Francine de parler de mon subite parce que, à son avis, celle-ci n'a pas eu un développement normal.Le témoignage du Dr Bernard, fut suivi de celui du Dr Pierre Brochu, qui a pratiqué l'autopsie sur le corps du bébé de dix semaines en novembre 1996.Il a été formel: l'enfant est mort d'une \"dénutrition extrême chronique, ce qui signifie qu'il est mort de faim et de soif durant quelques semaines.Selon lui, les organes du bébé étaient atrophiés et la peau de celui-ci était sèche, fissurée, mince et exempt de tissu graisseux, méme pas au visage.Quant au poids de la petite, il était moindre que celui quiel- le affichait lorsqu'elle est vu le jour le 14 1996.Elle pesait 6,12 livres à sa naissance et 4, 9 livres à son décès Les avocats du couple ont plaidé depuis le début du procès que l'enfant sur lequel une l'autopsie fut pratiquée n\u2019était pas celui du couple de Hinchinbrooke mais un autre poupon.Ils ont cependant fait marche arrière après avoir entendu la version du Dr Gordon Thompson, un médecin à la retraite de l'hôpital Barrie Mémorial.Appelé à son tour à la barre, le Dr Thompson, qui agit comme coroner, a signalé que l\u2019état physique du bébé lui faisait penser à celui des détenus des camps de concentration nazis de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale.Selon ses observations, l'enfant avait une peau mince et dépourvue de gras, presque transparente, selon ses dires.Dans son rapport final datant du 14 juillet 1997, le coroner évite de conclure à un syndrome de la mort subite pour expliquer le décès de l'enfant.Mais selon lui, le bébé ne recevait pas un apport nutritionnel en lait maternel suffisant.Appelée également à témoigner, la pédiatre Lisa Archambault a soutenu que le bébé était petit mais qu\u2019il était normal au moment de naître.De plus, l\u2019enfant n\u2019affichait aucun symptôme relié au fait que la maman consommait de l'alcool et que si celle-ci en buvait en allaitant le poupon, ce dernier n'aurait pu en mourir.L'avocate de la poursuite a présenté son dernier témoin, le neuro-pathologiste Jean Michaud qui n\u2019a pas été soumis aux questions des procureurs de la défense.Depuis que le procès a commencé, les avocats de la défense ont tenté à maintes reprises de mettre fin aux procédures judiciaires entamées contre le couple.À six occasions, Mes Alain Brassard et Gilles Gin- gras ont adressé une requête en ce sens au juge Mercier, estimant que certains éléments de preuve nouvellement déposés La Ville de Huntingdon prendrait le relais de Culture et Loisirs

qui s'en vient.Léchevin Jean-Paul Mainville à indiqué au cours de la séance mensuelle des élus lundi de la semaine dernière qu'il revient à la Ville de continuer cette activité et que la municipalité se tiendrait prete à le mettre sur pied pour le bénéfice des enfants.M.Mainville a repoussé du revers de la main les arguments des dirigeants de l'organisme, dont le vice-président Serge Gosselin.qui

directeur général.Gay Hamilton, qui gérait cette banque alimentaire du Suroit depuis les cinq der- niéres années, a annoncé sa démission au conseil d'administration le vendredi 2 mars dernier.C\u2019est avec des sentiments partagés que Mme Hamilton quitte la barre de cette organisation.Puisqu\u2019un poste intéressant lui était offert dans la région, elle a dû réfléchir longuement avant de décider à délaisser ses fonctions, lesquelles lui tenaient beaucoup à coeur.\u201cJe préfère que l\u2019on dise que je vais relever de nouveaux défis plutôt que de dire que je quitte Moisson\u201d, a déclaré Mme Hamilton par voie de communiqué de presse émis jeudi dernier.À Moisson, j'ai eu l'occasion de fréquenter et de travailler avec un groupe dynamique et innovateur.Je reconnais là une de mes meilleures expériences de ma vie.Je regarde en arrière avec fierté et je garde un bon souvenir de mon séjour à Moisson Sud-Ouest.\u201d Mme Hamilton a confirmé qu\u2019elle ne coupe pas totalement les liens qui l\u2019unit à Moisson Sud-Ouest.Elle entend bien demeurer une supporter convaincu de cette banque alimentaire régionale et souhaite justement que tous les partenaires du milieu continuent de supporter celle-ci qui doit faire face à une demande croissante année après année.Dès le 26 mars prochain, Mme Hamilton occupera un nouvel emploi.Elle assumera les

vendredi dernier au palais de justice de Valleyfield.C\u2019est que le juge Michel Mercier a décidé de décréter la fin des procédures judiciaires contre les deux conjoints, accusés de négligence criminelle ayant causé la mort d'un de leurs enfants en novembre 1996.À force de suivre attentivement le déroulement du procès, il se dégageait comme une impression que l'issue était prévisible à la longue.Depuis le commencement, les avocats de deux accusés se sont adressés à plus d'une reprise au président du tribunal pour lui demander de faire cesser les démarches entreprises contre le couple.Les deux procureurs ont martelé les arguments pour tenter de convaincre le magistrat de donner suite à la demande qu\u2019ils ont formulée maintes fois.Selon Mes Alain Brassard et Gilles Gingras, certains éléments de preuve soumis par la Couronne les empêchaient d'assurer à leurs clients une défense pleine et entière.Le juge a repoussé du revers de la main les demandes de Mes Gingras et Brassard pour permettre au procès de se poursuivre.Sauf qu'à un moment donné, il a dû rappeler à l\u2019ordre la procureure de la poursuite, Me Anne-Andrée Charette, de se plier à l\u2019obligation de dévoiler à ses collègues de la défense ses éléments de preuve.Mais les avocats du couple n'ont jamais lâché le morceau pour autant et sont constamment revenus à la charge, obtenant finalement du magistrat qu\u2019il mette un terme au procès.Pourtant, la Couronne avait monté sa preuve en faisant assigner à la barre des témoins une batterie d'experts.Leurs témoignages avaient de quoi donner des frissons, avec des détails précis sur ce qui a pu se passer pour expliquer la mort de l'enfant.La poursuite avait quelque chose de solide pour espérer gagner sa cause.Devant la prestation de la poursuite, les avocats des accusés ont répliqué à plus d'une reprise qu'ils n'étaient pas en mesure d'assumer adéquatement la défense de leurs clients.Le juge Mercier a choisi le dixième jour du procès pour décider de la fin des procédures judiciaires entamées contre le couple.Selon lui, le long délai de treize mois entre la mort de la petite et l'arrestation par la Sûreté du Québec des parents et leur interrogatoire au poste de police, l'envoi d\u2019un mandat d\u2019arrestation à la mère Richards et son incarcération au lieu d\u2019une simple citation à comparaître devant la justice et les accusations portées contre le couple dix-huit mois après la mort de l\u2019enfant sont des points que le magistrat a tenu compte pour rendre son jugement.Ce serait trop simple ici d'adresser des reproches à la procureure de la Couronne chargée de cette affaire.Elle a préparé cette cause avec le plus de professionnalisme et de soin possible.Après tout, le juge n'\u2019a-t-il pas admis que si elle a manqué à l\u2019obligation de remettre à la défense les éléments de preuve lui permettant de pouvoir les contester devant un tribunal, elle ne l\u2019a pas fait de mauvaise foi.Mais du même coup, le juge devait se montrer catégorique pour s'assurer que la poursuite respecte les règles du jeu en cour.En même temps, ce serait si facile de lancer la pierre aux deux avocats qui ont défendu le couple.Tous deux ont voulu agir dans les meilleurs intérêts de la justice, en se servant de la jurisprudence et des dispositions du Code criminel au meilleur de leurs connaissances.Ils ont simplement fait leur travail en multipliant les requêtes devant le juge.En décrétant la fin des procédures judiciaires contre Deanna Richard et Daniel Kraft et en les libérant sur-le-champ, le magistrat s\u2019est montré on ne peut plus clair.Il l\u2019a fait savoir à Me Charette en annonçant sa décision.Il ne faut pas oublier que dans une salle d\u2019audience d\u2019un palais de justice, le juge est le patron, le maitre et qu'il a le dernier mot Pendant que le couple Richards-Kraft est libre comme l'air, il y a là un bébé de deux mois qui est décédé et qui repose en paix.Un enfant qui, sans le vouloir, aura été au centre d'une longue et pénible saga judiciaire de cinq ans dont on vient d'assister peut-être au dénouement, à moins que la Couronne n'en décide autrement et aille en appel du jugement.Patrice Laflamme l'École de St-Anicet pour les enfants dans le besoin | seraient grandement appréciés.| g'2959m14030t Rodrigue Montpetit & Fils Salon funéraire
