hosted Saint-Anne-de-Bellevue on Saturday, while the women traveled Dollard des Ormeaux to play in the divisional finals on Sunday.On Saturday under a beautiful sunny sky the Ormstown Men handily beat Saint-Anne-de Bellevue 50-19 at CVR.After a traditionally slow start, the local team showed their true strength and teamwork.With the forwards and the backs dominating over the opposition there were many spectacular plays made showing off their fitness, dedication, accurate set plays and support of one another in open play.Both veterans and rookies of the men\u2019s team had great individual games; the win was definitely a team effort.Scorers were: Simon Maheu with 3 tries and Chad McKell, Stephan Ouelette, Scott Thompson and Jason Aldridge with one try each.Trevor Lane rounded out the score with 6 conversions and 1 penalty kick.The men improved their record to an impressive 9-3.They will be traveling to Sherbrooke on September 11th to face the 6-6 Abenakis RFC at the University of Sherbrooke.On Sunday the defending champion Lady Saracens played in the Division finals for the second consecutive year against the same opponents, their rivals the Montreal Irish.The Womens\u2019 Provincial finals were held this year at Westwood Park in Dollard des Ormeaux, home of the Montreal Barbarians.There was a great turnout of local supporters from the Valley as the Ormstown 0 RETAIL VALUE és @ 7 i 4 Toy based Sud-Ouest junior men\u2019s team also had a game.They played in the morning versus a select team from the Montreal area.Final score was 32-0 for Sud-Ouest with flanker Jeff Smith receiving game MVP for his 3 try effort.In the women\u2019s final a few lost opportunities and poor execution in the first half proved costly for the Saracens Women as the score stood 5-0 for the Irish at half time.The Irish used their larger, more experienced forward pack to dominate in rucks and mauls and tire out the smaller Ormstown forwards.After the Irish made it 12-0 half way through the second half on a converted try, Ormstown made a dramatic and exciting come back; it wasn\u2019t until the final whistle, while the local team was on the Montreal Irish goal line that the game was lost.Final score was 12-10.The lone scorer for Ormstown was Christina Caza who had 1 try, 1 penalty kick and 1 convert.Womens\u2019 head coach Pat Bourdeau-Collum summarized the season and the finals \u201c The girls should be proud of everything they accomplished this season.They faced tougher opponents than last season and still came out on top most of the time.It is only the 3rd year of existence for the young Lady Saracens and they continue to improve with each year and will be even better in 2005.They may have lost the final in a nail biter but they are still champions to me.All 16 girls that played gave there all and as a coach what more can you ask for\u201d.The Saracens Ladies finish with a 7-4 record in Division 1B of the Quebec Rugby Federation.Abbie Pritchard Throw SWAG at Howick WLI.On June 1 an Abbie Pritchard Throw made possible by the Quebec Women\u2019s Institute was awarded to Rhoda McFarlane, a long time member of the Howick W.I, and a resident of Source

19, at the Recreation Centre with Registration starting at 8 a.m.In hopes of raising funds for the fight against cancer, community members and surrounding areas are invited to run/walk at this family

anniversary of the Terry Fox Run.Participants can raise money for cancer research by gathering pledges from family and friends or by submitting a personal donation on the day of the run.The Terry Fox Foundation also accepts online contributions and pledges.The efforts of Terry Fox Run participants have yielded incredible results.\u201cLast year, the Foundation donated over 1.2 million dollars to research projects in Quebec\u201d, said Peter Sherementa, Provincial Director of the Terry Fox Foundation.\u201cWe hope to continue to increase our success again this year, so that someday Terry's dream might become a reality.We owe it to Terry and to the members of our community who suffer from this terrible disease, to do our part and raise even more in 2004.\u201d This year\u2019s Terry Fox Run will be a fun filled event for the whole family.Activities are being planned for the day: face painting, silent auction, door prizes, lunch etc.More than that, it is a chance to join in the fight against a disease that plagues our communities and make a difference in our world.Rain or shine, we hope to see you there.For more information please contact Florence Ellerton at

Huntingdon Town Council present at the Tuesday evening meeting, a resolution was passed wherein the Quebec Liquor Commission is to be asked to have a liquor store established in Huntingdon.At the same

Former soldier Daniel Galipeau is not ready to forget his stay in France last June.He found himself among many Canadian ex-servicemen, taking part in the celebrations for the sixtieth anniversary of the landing in Normandy by allied forces.For the septuagenarian from Godmanchester, this tour was a return to roots, as he has already shared in the festivities marking the fortieth, and then the fiftieth anniversaries of this famous mission that contributed to the release of France from Hitler\u2019s yoke.He returned home with his head full of beautiful memories, even if the voyage was extenuating.\u201cThe trip was long, but for me, it forms part of the most beautiful moments of my life.The reception over there was very cordial, and people who welcomed us did so with great dignity,\u201d he told The Gleaner/La Source.Galipeau profited from this voyage to reunite with former Canadian soldiers who battled at his side sixty years earlier.Although several of his comrades in arms have disappeared with the passing of years, he was delighted to find himself in the company of other soldiers, some of whom he thought he\u2019d never see again.\u201cJust to see guys I'd lost sight of for such a long time warms my heart,\u201d he said.June 6, 1944 will remain forever engraved in Daniel Galipeau\u2019s memory.This day, he found himself in the middle of a vast military operation that, during the Second World War, made it possible SP At During his stay in Normandy, Daniel Galipeau visited the Canadian military cemetery of Beny- for the allied forces to land on the European continent and pierce the Nazi front.He was only nineteen years old when he took part in this historic battle, which constitutes a major turning point in the 1939-1945 war.As part of the Royal Canadian Engineering unit, he was involved, as were many other soldiers, in neutralizing mines and dismantling the German force\u2019s communications.During his stay in Normandy, the ex- soldier took part in the various official activities, in addition to visiting, among others, the magnificent gardens and the Canadian military cemetery of Beny-sur- Mer.\u201cUnforgettable moments,\u201d he says.At the festivities, Galipeau spotted several public figures invited by the French authorities.At one of these gatherings, he found himself nearly side-by- side with Queen Elizabeth II of England

Chateauguay Valley Syndicate UPA news parking at new public square Jane Caron anc Patrice Laflamme The possible loss of parking space on Huntingdon\u2019s Chateauguay Street was a concern voiced at last week\u2019s public consultation on the new public place due to begin construction in September in front of the previous IGA site.Local merchants, concerned that the loss of a half-dozen parking spaces will add to the difficulties experienced by shoppers in the downtown area, suggested that authorities enforce more closely the existing regulations that would prohibit all-day parking on the main thoroughfare and force shoppers and workers to respect time limits.Huntingdon\u2019s administration was enthusiastic in its support of the project, claiming that the new public space would be a good starting point for the re-estab- lishment of the downtown core.Benches, mature trees, retaining walls and the return of the fountain to its place of prominence are all features of the new site.The new place, as yet unnamed will begin construction in September and is expected to be ready for the public in October 2004.Total costs for the project are set at $120,000 with the Town of Huntingdon supplying 50 percent of the amount and the minister of municipal affairs, sport and leisure supplying the remaining 50 percent.According to Mayor Stéphane Gendron, the parking issue is one that is under review.If deemed necessary, expropriation of a nearby vacant property to provide additional space is a possibility.§ » September 8, 2004 » The Cleaner X#Birth and Deaths Card of Thanks,

Rant Sunday Sept., 12 - 4 p.m at the Rockburn Pub Everyone Welcome Kathy Dawn Robertson Congratulations to Kathy Robertson who recently graduated from Concordia University with a Bachelor of Arts in the education program, majoring in child studies.We're so proud of your achievements Kathy and wish you all the very best in your future endeavours.On Wednesday, August 25 a small but feisty group of farmers attended the annual sector meeting of the Chateauguay Valley base syndicate of the UPA.Times are tough for farmers these days as they face the greatest income crisis yet.Was the attendance low because the farmers are not interested in their situation, or is attendance small at meetings because farmers are discouraged, and are despairing over seemingly insurmountable odds against the farm survival.This sentiment echoes from one end of Canada to the other.Giulio Neri, guest speaker, is a forestry technician who is now working for the UPA.He is heading a project on nut tree planting.Wanting 6 farms to take part in the project across Quebec, he has been flooded with 41 producers wanting to participate.Mr.Neri stated that he will look into the possibility of ordering trees and selling them at cost to those interested in planting them on their farms.Mr.Neri was a very dynamic and enthusiastic speaker and will be working with a forestry engineer in our region.Anyone interested in speaking with him can reach him through the UPA regional office.Old dossiers that the UPA has been working on for some time are still dragging on.The abandoned railway lines dossier seems to be no closer to a solution than it was 10 years ago.However, the base syndicate will be pursuing it further in the hope that something can finally be settled.There has been over the years, rumors that some CN deeds with the farmers of old, stated that the land was to be returned to the farmer should the CN no longer require it.If anyone has a deed with wording to that effect or similar, please contact the UPA secretary immediately, or director, Jack Mason.This would definitely help towards the resolution of this impasse between farmers, municipalities and the government.Directly linked to the abandoned rail beds is noxious weed control, or lack thereof.The maintenance aspect of the old rail beds, plus ditches along farm property is the responsibility of the Minister of Transport.The ministry has not carried out this weed control.Therefore, farmers must complain to the Councils and to the Ministry of Transport in order to get something done.If you are one of those farmers who have a weed problem due to this situation, call the authorities and get some action going.The water issues, underground bottling, are still in the news but these dossiers too, are slow in their evolution.The Leahy project in particular, is in appeal mode.A second guest speaker was Guy Lachance, of the Career Centre in Ormstown.Mr.Lachance appealed to the audience to please think about any courses which farmers/farm wives would like to see given at the Career Centre.Many courses have been offered over the years.Some were well received while others were rejected for lack of interest.Guy is now checking with the grassroots: what would we like to learn?Remember, it only requires 12 people to sign up for the course for it to be a go.So, those of you of like mind, do some research, some phoning, and then give Guy a call and ask for a course on whatever is of interest to you for a hobby, a profession, an interest, a passion.Penny Anderson Love Mum & family \u2014 ma

flowering slowly There\u2019s a song that goes, \u201cYou can\u2019t please everyone so you have to please yourself.\u201d With two simultaneous stages and 20 assorted Country and Folk acts, the Branches & Roots concert at the Fair Grounds in Ormstown, September 4th gave a good try at pleasing everyone.The Livestock Breeder's Association of Beauharnois, better known as the Fair Board, are the people behind this 2nd annual show.The concert fell short of the organizers attendance hopes.They had expected to double last year\u2019s 800 visitors, but topped out at only 500.The Promoters emphasize that part of their goal is to let the public know the fair grounds are available year round for activities, and that was achieved.Advanced ticket sales were available this year at a $2 discount from the regular $10 and accounted for 120 sales.Proceeds from the day are used towards maintenance of the exposition buildings and grounds.Performances were held in both - the Industrial Building and under the Big Top, as a striped tent had been set up for a festive mood.Seating about two hundred, the tent was standing room only during the Penny Lang concerts at both 4 and 10 p.m.Penny, who has her own family branches and roots in the Ormstown area put on an upbeat show.She quickly had an appreciative crowd recalling days in the early 70\u2019s when she was a regular at the Café Andre and the Yellow Door in Montreal.Loraine Lamb-Lalonde, speaking on behalf of the festival said \u201cWe\u2019re trying to create a pleasant atmosphere in which to enjoy music with a relaxed Vibe.The idea is to showcase Valley talent, with a mix of Montreal and even some Ontario performers thrown in.\u201d Ten vendors were quietly showing their wares in the downstairs of the Industrial Building while a few non- profit groups shared the task of feeding the fans in the grassy area out front.Most in attendance had a fine time and agree that the show was well worth the price of the ticket.Where else could you find ten hours of live music for half the price of a CD?[ GARS ton paye 1 ] hit, \u201cLove Story\u201d.Organizer Gord Clark of Rockburn is the proud owner of a 1954

best of show for a car and a motorbike.It is intended to be mostly of a social nature and a sort of tune-up for the BIG ONE in Stowe Vermont on the weekend of Sept.18/19, where 700 English cars are expected!\u201d A two toned silver and blue 1966 Austin Healey shown by Paul Hetu was a traffic stopper at the show, as was Rick Ward\u2019s Green 1952 TD.Over on the motorcycle side a nice display was set up featuring a WWI dispatch rider motorbike in un-restored condition.It still ran! There was a nice smattering of Triumph bikes and BSA\u2019s and a deck area where the riders could enjoy a pint or two of British ale to wash away the dust of their journey.All in all it was a beautiful afternoon for the show, which not only showcases the cars and talents of the owners, but helps to promote the beauty of our valley as well.You can bet many of the participants and spectators of this show will return as tourists and consumers.British car & Cycle day organizer, Gord Clark of Rockburn in his 1954 MG-TD the new New ultra strong augers | k ji NOTHING.to pay [OR before 3 months 12 months Details in store 08 DOWN PAYMENT Come and Discover 2005 Columbia $y 7 wd}: a% OR LES EQUIPEMENTS ALBERT BILLETTE INC.oe: SALES - SERVICE - PARTS rd 1919 Rang 3.(Tullochgorum Rd) - Howick (450) 825-2286 New chute ontrol handle New ergonomic handles ore traction Ce WARRANTY 1 % v COLUMBIA > The service people ! 4 WAYS TO PAY DOWN PAYMENT = TAXES DOWN PAYMENT = TAXES [ TOWN trom pose 1] $135,271 decrease, as compared with 2002.At December 31, 2003 the sum was $284,969, whereas it was $420,240 on the same date of the previous year.For the same eriode the long-term debt increased by $134,798, passing from $542,333 to $677,131.The mayor explains this rise by the purchase of an F-500 truck for the roadway systems department and by the funds authorized for the filtration facility\u2019s automation plan.Deposited by the town council, the balance sheet for the last financial year shows that incomes and expenditures slightly increased as compared to the previous year.The municipality\u2019s receipts totalled $2,540,300, rising $116,926.However, this is $58, 000 less than what the city planned for in preparing its budget.Meanwhile, tax income climbed by five pet cent, reaching $1,970,585 over 1,920,555 in 2002.This covers 48 per cent of the city\u2019s expenses.For their part, expenditures saw a substantial rise in 2003.The city\u2019s spending amounted to $2,353,761, higher than the $2,085,121 the municipality paid the previous year.However, the municipality intended to spend $2,403,226 when it prepared its budget.The mayor specified that the city devotes 22 per cent of its budget to expenditures for general administration, which is average for municipalities of similar size.It devotes 4.7 per cent of its income toward leisure development, in comparison with 11 per cent elsewhere, and commits 2.5 per cent to debt financing, where comparable localities commit 10 per cent.The town council plans to use the accumulated surplus of $284,969 for several ends, which could eliminate it altogether.The city intends to spend $50,000 for its new leisure department, $18,000 on its firefighters, $20,000 to install a skate-park, $60,000 on a snow removal dumping site, $30,000 for sewer cleaning, $50,000 for the government's \u201cUrban Revival\u201d program, and $20,000 to settle claims and suits in cases of backed-up SEWEIS.Despite everything, mayor Gendron reassured taxpayers and businesses that they will not face a tax increase for the next fiscal year.\u201cFor the year 2004, it is necessary to plan for a small surplus.At the same time, the city will continue to tighten its administrative budget,\u201d he says.By Patrice Laflamme Translated by Denise Dawn Hubert (5 NAME TO REMEMBER\u2014) WE PRODUCE: Smoke meat *Sausages *Patés *Fis Ne 4 i h pi RE CNG AR JIE NRA 3 TIFIED (450) 377-1128 J \\ 1 cy) BRU) « J0080(3 841 SALES * PARTS * SERVICE Ci HUNTINGDON, P.QUE C.J.KYLE YLE LTEE = TEL.: 264-5321\" CLASS FOR RESULTS = 450-264-5364 = 450-264-9521 Info @gloaner-source.com \u2018APARTMENT TO 8 » September 8, 2004 » The Cleaner ORMSTOWN: Large 3-1/2 2nd floor, new construction, view of the river, central, ideal for retired person or working couple.No pets.$575/month, heated.References required.829- 2653.JD 16\u2019 harvest wagon.827-2901.NH manure spreader, side delivery, mod.307.Mapleoak Farm.264-5769.ANTIQUES | ps 5 RE ü ALWAYS buying antiques: fumiture (even broken), toys, signs, dishes, rugs, collections, estates, Tom Hamilton.(450)829-2059.ANTIQUE Corner: wants antiques, all kinds - fumiture, crystal, complete households, estates.Art Murphy 829-9825, 264-5147.ANTIQUES of all kinds bought, furniture, dishes, lamps, bells, clocks, sleighs, buggies, toys.Complete or partial estates or households, also collections.Robert Thompson, Box 214, Hemmingford.(450)247-2426.BUYING gold jewellery, sterling silver cutlery, sets or single pieces, silver teasets, napkin rings, Moorcroft, Gouda, figurines and porcelain, silver plate.For private appointment, 1-800-267- 2732, 514-684-3528.SALE BLACK Angus registered cows with calves and heifers, PATBQ, call/visits welcome Donava Angus (450)264-0230.TO GIVE AWAY: Pups, Husky-Lab mix, ready for Sept.21.264-4477.MISCELLANEOUS 100 round bales of alfalfa and millet, first cut.$30/bale.264-2635.AS seen on TV!

reunion Saturday at Arthur\u2019s Apple Stand just outside Rockburn.Grads and their families mingled as nametags with yearbook photos were given out near a main sign in table behind which enlarged posters of grad bios adorned the walls.As worn copies of yearbooks circulated, old friends traded stories, compared lives and shared memories while children dodged in and around parents legs, played on wooden swings and under the apple heavy branches of a lone tree.\u201cI just felt like having a party,\u201d said Bruce Barr, who initiated what, with a lot of help, became a chain of phone calls which resulted in close to 90 percent of the \u201c79 grads being contacted.\u201cNone of the smiles have changed,\u201d said Barr of his classmates, \u201cit just takes a little while longer to see past the hairstyles,\u201d he quipped.\u201cIt\u2019s a chance to go back to your youth and remember all the good times from when you were young,\u201d said Bonnie Caza, one of the organizers, who noted \u201cit\u2019s exciting to see everybody again.\u201d A receptionist at CVR, Caza says that high school hasn\u2019t changed all that much in the 25 years since she walked the halls, except for all the clubs and extracurricular activities which have grown and changed to reflect the cultural swing from 1979 through to today.However, a number of teachers, most of them retired, but some still pushing the chalk did drop by to have a laugh and catch up with their former pupils in an informal setting.CVR\u2019s class of 1979 got together over the weekend at Arthur's Apple Stand to celebrate their 25th reunion.Preparations underway for Les Journées de la Culture 2004 Organizers are setting the stage for the upcoming, Les Journées de la Culture, an annual 3 day event featuring an assortment of cultural and artistic productions throughout the region.According to MRC cultural development representative Louis-Maxime Dubois, the committee is actively searching for increased participation from local Anglophone artists.\u201cEnglish speaking artists are an integral part of the cultural landscape of the Haut Saint-Laurent,\u201d he said.\u201cTheir presence in increased numbers would be an advantage for the event.\u201d Activities are planned to take place in six MRC municipalities: Saint-Anicet, Huntingdon, Ormstown, Saint- Chrysostome, Franklin and Saint-Antoine

Patrice Laflamme La musique a occupé une place de choix samedi a Ormgtown.Pour une deuxième année de suite, la municipalité accueillait le festival «Branches et Racines», qui a réuni plus d\u2019une quinzaine de chanteurs et de groupes de la vallée de la Châteauguay, de Montréal de même que de l\u2019Ontario.Le site de l\u2019exposition d\u2019Ormstown fut pris d\u2019assaut par plus de 500 amateurs de bonne musique qui se sont déplacés pour applaudir des artistes qui se sont produits durant une seule et même journée.Aux dires du comité organisateur, ils ont été moins nombreux à assister aux différentes prestations offertes entre 11h et 23h.Lan dernier, la fête avait attiré près de 800 personnes.Les artistes ont interprété des airs folkloriques, celtiques, bluegrass, country et traditionnels.Sur les deux scènes aménagées dans le bâtiment industriel et sous une tente extérieure, ils ont livré des pièces que les spectateurs ont semblé vivement apprécier.Si la «Première Dame» de la musique folk canadienne, Penny Lang et son orchestre Les Echo Hunters de Montréal, le Montréalais Ron Bankley, l\u2019auteure-compositeure Julia Kater, les Road Scholars, Neil MacKay et Together

festival.Le guitariste de renom Dave Clarke, Jim Robinson, Jou Tou, le duo Kirk McGeachy-David Gossage de même que les talents locaux Chris Crilly et Chris Pennington ont également donné de belles performances musicales.Les amateurs de musique country s\u2019en sont littéralement donné à coeur joie.Dès 19h, ils ont vu défiler des artistes sur la scène intérieure en plus d\u2019esquisser des pas de danse sur une piste aménagée à cet effet.Se disant relativement satisfaits de la tenue de ce deuxième festival «Branches et Racines», les membres du comité organisateur, Steven Lalonde, Lorraine

l\u2019incendie qui a lourdement endommagé la basilique- cathédrale Sainte-Cécile de Valleyfield, les travaux de remise à neuf progressent très bien, au grand plaisir du curé Hubert Julien et du conseil des marguilliers.Avec l\u2019attribution de trois millions$ par le Fonds du patrimoine religieux, d\u2019un montant additionnel de cinq millions$ provenant des assurances et d\u2019un don d\u2019un million$ d\u2019un donateur anonyme, le feu vert en vue de la restauration de l\u2019édifice religieux a été donné.Le curé de la paroisse, Mgr Hubert Julien, a pu présenter au Gleaner/La Source la progression des travaux.Le nettoyage des résidus de Pincendie a essentiellement consisté au pompage de l\u2019eau accumulée au sous-sol, au démantèlement des matériaux inutilisables, au transport du mobilier et des équipements épargnés, au cloisonnement des brèches de la structure en prévision de la saison hivernale et à l\u2019assèchement de l\u2019intérieur du bâtiment religieux, afin de préserver les boiseries et de s'assurer que les pierres n\u2019éclatent à cause du froid.«On a aussi nettoyé et protégé la toiture à l\u2019approche de l\u2019hiver.On a finalement procédé à l\u2019évaluation des dommages et réalisé les études préliminaires afin d\u2019établir les coûts de reconstruction.Tous ces travaux ont nécessité un déboursé de deux millions$», estime Mgr Julien.La phase II de la réfection de la basilique-cathédrale s\u2019est amorcée au début de 2003 pour se poursuivre jusqu\u2019à aujourd\u2019hui.Elle a principalement consisté en des travaux de réfection de la toîture, de la fenestration, de la maçonnerie et des systèmes mécanique et électrique.«Le Fonds du patrimoine religieux a accepté de verser trois millions, à la condition que soient Vingt-quatre mois après l\u2019incendie qui a lourdement endommagé la basitique-cathédrale Sainte- Cécile de Valleyfield, les travaux de remise à neuf respectent l\u2019échéancier.respectés les plans originaux de construction, notamment le toit en cuivre, ce qui voulait dire que tous les travaux de restauration respectent les plans originaux», a précisé le président du comité de financement, Jean-Claude Billette.Quant à la réfection de la voûte, elle a débuté en mars 2003.Lors de l\u2019incendie, d\u2019énormes quantités d\u2019eau ont été déversées sur le toit de l\u2019édifice en flammes.De \u2018plus, puisque le sinistre s'était déclaré dans l\u2019entre-toît, le feu s\u2019est propagé à la voûte par les bouches d\u2019aération.«Les dommages étaient tels que la voûte a dû être complètement retirée.Afin de conserver l\u2019intégrité de la construction, les travaux effectués ont été entrepris avec la volonté de reproduire exactement les plans originaux.Il va de soi que cette restauration s\u2019est effectuée avec des matériaux respectant les normes Forêt et marécage nouvellement protégés à Godmanchester Patrice Laflamme Le centre d\u2019intendance écologique Latreille de Saint-Anicet vient d\u2019acquérir un nouveau territoire, voué uniquement à la conservation de la nature.Le nouveau terrain, situé sur la rang 4 à Godmanchester, compte une forêt s\u2019étendant sur trente hectares.Une partie de cette zone est constituée d\u2019un marécage.Une expertise réalisée par un biologiste a confirmé la pertinence pour le CIEL d\u2019obtenir ce territoire.«Le biologiste, après une étude du milieu, fournit une conclusion très claire à cet effet.Selon lui, le territoire comporte de nombreux milieux humides forestiers qui lui apportent une diversification élevée dans le contexte d\u2019un climat des plus doux au Québec.Notre plan de conservation va nous permettre de mieux connaître le territoire et le conserver pour les générations futures», précise le président de l\u2019organisme, Jean- Marie Latreille.Cette acquisition porte à 115 hectares l\u2019étendue des territoires conservés par le CIEL.En juin 2 000, l\u2019organisme avait pris possession d\u2019un terrain densément boisé de 84 hectares consacré à la conservation de la biodiversité.«L\u2019organisme poursuit son objectif qui est d\u2019acquérir des territoires ayant une valeur écologique pour y assurer la conservation de la biodiversité à perpétuité», estime M.Latreille, lui-même un amant de la nature sauvage et un passionné d\u2019environnement depuis de nombreuses années.Le CIEL rappelle que ces territoires sont accessibles à ses membres pour des visites d\u2019observation de la nature sauvage mais le grand public peut aussi les visiter et circuler sur les sentiers, à la condition toutefois de respecter scrupuleusement certaines règles.actuelles de construction.La nouvelle voûte respecte celle détruite dans ces motifs et ses couleurs.Malgré la disparition des échafauds et des grues aux abords de la basilique-cathé- drale, la reconstruction n\u2019est pour autant terminée.Les travaux entrent maintenant dans la phase dite de finition.En plus de devoir restaurer les boiseries des bancs, des planchers, des peintures et des confessionnaux ainsi que le mobilier et les objets liturgiques comme le baldaquin, le maître autel, le chemin de croix et la lampe du sanctuaire, il faudra rétablir tout le réseau électrique et les systèmes de plomberie et de chauffage.«Tous ces travaux réalisés dans la basilique et les bâtiments connexes comme la sacristie, le sous-sol, la salle des oeuvres et le musée devront par ailleurs s\u2019effectuer dans un respect intégral des normes de sécurité-incendie.À ces travaux jugés essentiels à la réintégration du bâtiment s'ajoutent la restauration des verrières et l\u2019installation du nouvel orgue», précise Mgr Julien.Le conseil des marguilliers, le comité de financement et les bénévoles auront beaucoup faire pour mener à terme la dernière étape des travaux, particulièrement sur le plan financier, afin de recueillir la somme de huit million$.Pour y arriver, ils comptent sur de fructueuses démarches auprès des gouvernements fédéral et provincial et de la Ville de Valleyfield et sur la mise en place à la fin de l\u2019été d\u2019une campagne de financement qui permettrait de recueillir deux millions$ auprès de la communauté locale et régionale.Chiropraticien de famille Renseigner \u201cÉvitez que votre enfant se 3214984-080904-08 Dr.Peter Vana, me.pce 10, rue Henderson Huntingion _ VOUS SUT le spécial de la

juin dernier.Il se trouvait parmi les nombreux anciens combattants canadiens qui ont participé aux célébrations du 60e anniversaire du débarquement des forces alliées en Normandie.Pour le septuagénaire de Godmanchester, ce périple Etait un retour aux sources, lui qui avait pris part aux fêtes entourant le quarantième puis celles marquant le cinquantième anniversaire de cette mission qui a contribué à libérer la France du joug hitlérien.Il est rentré chez lui la tête chargée de beaux souvenirs, même si le voyage a été exténuant.«Le voyage a été long mais pour moi, il fait partie des plus beaux moments de ma vie.L'accueil là-bas à été très chaleureux et les gens qui nous ont reçus l\u2019ont fait avec beaucoup de dignité», a-t-il confié au Gleaner/La Source.M.Galipeau a profité de ce voyage pour renouer avec d'anciens soldats canadiens qui ont bataillé à ses côtés soixante ans plus tôt.Même si plusieurs de ses compagnons d\u2019armes ont disparu au fil des années, il était ravi de se retrouver en compagnie d\u2019autres soldats, dont certains qu\u2019il ne pensait jamais revoir.«Que de revoir des gars qui j'ai perdus de vue pendant si longtemps m\u2019a fait chaud au coeur», a-t-il dit.Le 6 juin 1944 restera à jamais gravé dans la mémoire de Daniel Galipeau.Ce jour-là, il s\u2019est retrouvé au centre d\u2019une vaste opération miliaire qui, pendant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, a permis aux forces alliées de débarquer sur le continent européen et de transpercer le front nazi.Il n\u2019avait que dix-neuf ans lorsqu\u2019il a pris part à cette bataille historique qui constitue un tournant majeur de la guerre 1939-1945.Faisant partie de l\u2019unité de l\u2019Ingénierie Royale Canadienne, il sera affecté, de même que d\u2019autres soldats, à Pendant son séjour en Normandie, Daniel Galipeau a pu visiter le cimetière militaire canadien de Beny-sur-Mer.(Photo gracieuseté Jocelyn Galipeau) la neutralisation des mines et au démantèlement des liens de communications des forces allemandes.Pendant son séjour en Normandie, l\u2019ex-soldat a participé aux différentes activités officielles en plus de visiter entre autres les magnifiques jardins et le cimetière militaire canadien de Beny-sur- Mer.«Des moments inoubliables», dit-il.Lors des ces festivités, M.Galipeau a pu côtoyer plusieurs personnalités publiques venues en tant qu\u2019invités de marque des autorités françaises.À l\u2019un de ces rassemblements, il s\u2019est retrouvé pratiquement côte-à-côte avec la reine Élizabeth II d\u2019Angleterre et le prince Philip, son mari.«Je me suis retrouvé tout près de la reine.Elle était radieuse, souriante.On m\u2019a même photographié alors que j'étais à ses côtés, malgré l\u2019immense foule.C\u2019était assez impressionnant», confie-t-il avec un brin de fierté dans la voix.A peine rentré de Normandie, l\u2019ex- combattant songe déjà aux fêtes marquant le 60e anniversaire de la fin de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale.Il n\u2019est pas impossible qu\u2019il s'envole pour les Pays- Bas l\u2019an prochain, si sa santé le lui permet.Un nouveau regard sur la Châteauguay REE ERT Une quarantaine de personnes y bord d\u2019un autocar ont pu visiter les rives de la rivière Châteauguay et de ses affluents à la fin d\u2019août.Elles étaient accompagnées de Yolande Baril-Cécyre qui s\u2019est chargée de commenter les différentes étapes de la randonnée.Tout au long du voyage, les participants ont pu se familiariser avec l\u2019histoire, la culture, la géographie, le patrimoine, la géologie ou la richesse architecturale des différents sites jalonnant le parcours.«Le groupe fait plusieurs arrêts, entre autres à Covey Hill devant le site panoramique, où Serge Bourdon, le président de la Société de conservation et d\u2019aménagement du bassin de la rivière Châteauguay (la SCABRIC, organisatrice de cette première), a parlé de la Mer Champlain et de géologie.Au pont couvert de Powerscourt, le Pont Percy datant de 1861, le belvédère offrait une vue splendide de la rivière.On a visité et fait un pique-nique au lieu historique national de la Bataille-de-la-Châteauguay d\u2019Allan\u2019s Corner.Après le repas, les participants se sont arrêtés au bras mort de Sainte- Martine où on peut voir des fossiles.Le voyage s\u2019est terminé à l\u2019 Île Saint-Bernard.Chacun est reparti avec une pochette d\u2019information et de bien beaux souvenirs», explique Nicole Lecours, de la SCABRIC.«Ce fut un voyage exceptionnel, extraordinaire, enrichissant et très bien organisé.Nous en sommes très heureuses.Mme Cécyre, est très compétente et avait de l\u2019humour « ont dit Huguette Poiré, Pauline Rémi, Pauline Labbé, Marthe Carmel, qui étaient du voyage.«Le but de cette première visite guidée était de faire conna»tre notre région et de donner le goût d\u2019y revenir», ajoute Mme Lecours qui n\u2019écarte pas la possibilité que la SCABRIC mette sur pied une autre excursion plus tard à l\u2019automne.ta e-0vue: as a 0 8 Ne 0 = * =.\u2014 a.Les 40 participants du tour guidé du bassin de la rivière Châteauguay ont bien apprécié leur magnifique journée.Ils posent en compagnie de leur
