[" RUC I - 4 \u201cOrgan donation works,\u201d says Gordon Denison, conveying the mantra of the Canadian Transplant Association with the conviction of a survivor, and the voice of a champion.Seven years ago, the now vibrant 25- year-old mechanical engineering grad was laying propped up in a hospital bed next to a machine that systematically did the job his two failed kidneys could no longer do.While it was being determined whether any of his immediate family members would be able to donate a kidney, he was placed on the waiting list for a transplant.Warned the wait could be anywhere between three and five years, Denison steeled his nerves, and remained optimistic.It paid off.Within three months he was being wheeled into an operating room.Now, tucked away in a coffee shop, Denison admits he was really lucky.There are over 4,000 Canadians waiting for a transplant.Last year, less than half the numbers of necessary transplants were performed.Of those waiting for an organ donor, half are patients waiting for a kidney transplant.In Quebec alone, over 700 people are currently waiting for a kidney transplant.Sadly, according to the Canadian Transplant Association, Canada has a low national rate of only 13.5 donors per million population.Even more unfortu- nate is that of the one percent of all deaths in Canada that make for potential donors, a third of all potential lifesaving organs are lost because the person did not sign their donor card or make their wishes clear.In the hope of improving on these tragic statistics, April has been officially designated as \u201cOrgan Donation Month\u201d across Canada and the United States.\u201cOne of the reasons that people aren\u2019t donating is because they don't know there is organ donation and they don\u2019t know what's really involved,\u201d says Denison, noting how the month long campaign by organ donor organizations is really about bringing a new level of awareness to the public.\u201cOrgan Donation Month is not about convincing people to sign their donor cards,\u201d explains Denison, aware that this is a private decision that some people struggle with.\u201cIt\u2019s more about giving people a reason to think about why they should sign it, and what the positive effects of organ donation are,\u201d he says, pointing out that transplant recipients, like himself, are healthy individuals who live normal lives after the operation.\u201cBasically, what I'm trying to do is get people to realize that when you donate an organ you are giving somebody a second life,\u201d he says, with passion brewing in his blue eyes.\u201cYou are giving someone else the chance to live their life as it should have been from the start.\u201d For Denison, this second life has become one of a spokesperson for organ donation awareness, a volunteer at the Montreal Children's Hospital, and a track and field athlete.Since the year 2000, Denison has been competing in the Canadian Transplant Games, and during alternate years, the World Transplant Games, which incidentally are being held this summer in London, Ontario.The Olympic Style Games, which are expected to attract more than 2000 athletes from over 55 countries, will take Transplant Games.Experimental Wild Turkey hunt under fire SPELL ls The Quebec Bird Watching Groups Association, Association québécoise des groupes d\u2019ornithologues (AQGO),

experimental Wild Turkey hunt will be taking place for two periods of six-days, April 25 to April 30 and May 9 to May 14, in the municipalities of Elgin, Franklin, Havelock, Hinchinbrooke and Saint-Anicet.A total of 300 hunters, who have to preregister with the Fédéderation québécoise de la Faune, will be allowed to participate and are limited to killing one tom (male) turkey.So far, only about 130 hunters have registered for the Wild Turkey hunt.\u201cWe're taking it one step at a time to see the feasibility of doing it,\u201d said Mathieu McCann, a wildlife technician with the Association Chasse et Peche Les Balbuzards, at a press conference by the Association, the Fédéderation québecoise de la faune (FQF), Club de chasse Les Frontières, and the Ministry of Natural Resources to announce the upcoming Wild Turkey hunt in the Montérégie.The AQGO, a non profit organization founded in 1981 of amateur bird watching groups promoting the study of birds, their protection and protection of their habitat, however, wrote a report last year of numerous reasons why a spring Wild Turkey hunt should not be authorized.The AQGO claims the future of wild turkeys in Quebec is threatened by the planned Wild Turkey hunt because there are not enough males in the current provincial population and their environment is diminishing as well.To read the AGGO Wild Turkey report, it is available on-line at their website at: www.aqgo.qc.ca.The AQGO also has an on-line petition for the planned Wild Turkey hunt addressed to the provincial Minister of Natural Resources and Wildlife.The AQGO wants to be able to practice bird watching in the spring in peace and quiet without the fear of hunters.\u201cEvery autumn, hunters have the almost exclusive use of Quebec's territory,\u201d cites the AQGO petition.The Wild Turkey petition also mentions surveys in southern Quebec have shown there are barely 1,200 tom turkeys.With Quebec's small turkey population, \u201cno one can state with certainty if the Wild Turkey's future is secure,\u201d states the petition.Edo: Nguyen kd: to hotter serve you 4 Open 7 days ( Lambton, Grmetown Gordon Denison in stride on his way

need for the CVR Educational Foundation is greater today than it was twenty years ago,\u201d said guest speaker James Robb, to open the foundation\u2019s 20th anniversary celebration and stage show, \u201cA Night at the Theatre\u201d, last Friday evening, April 8.The seeds for the foundation were planted as early as the late 1970s by the very modest wishes of Eric Rumsby, a French teacher at CVR, to provide scholarships for graduating students.He was joined in his desire for students to continue their education by the late Allister Somerville and the CVR Memorial Fund was established.With the discovery of some available funds, Rumsby and then principal, Bruce Patterson, approached Mr.Robb, a former graduate of Huntingdon Academy turned lawyer at the Montreal-based Strikeman, Elliot Firm.Offering his services free of charge, Mr.Robb transformed the Memorial Fund into the long-standing institution that has to date awarded over $215,000 in scholarships to deserving graduates.\u201cOur educational foundation is on very stable ground,\u201d said Patricia Peter, current CVR principal, of the continued support and generosity of community members.The evening's entertainment, which featured performances by the school\u2019s Performing Arts Department, the CVR After Hours Choir and numerous other guests was \u201ca real tribute to the founding members and to the ongoing team of people who have sustained the foundation,\u201d said Peter.As coloured reflections of stage lights washed over the faces of an audience of nearly 150 CVR graduates, and former or prospective recipients of scholarships, the stage was graced by a series of the Valley\u2019s top performers, including husband and wife team and CVR graduates, Howard Welburn and Lynn Harper.With the high energy and community spirit that has for years kept the foundation thriving on great display both on and off the stage, the future transfer of the foundation from one generation to another is virtually guaranteed.Former scholarship recipient and 1995 graduate Nancy Greig gave a personal testament to the value a scholarship represents for a student, especially those who live in rural areas

no matter the party or level of government - are politicians.These ones simply got caught with their hands in the cookie jar.As for income tax, if you don\u2019t file your return, both the federal and provincial governments will eventually track you down, and will find you, and fine you, faster if you owe them money.However, boycotting gas prices so the federal government doesn\u2019t slink off with $175 million in gas-tax revenue is still a viable option.According to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, a lobby group, if gas prices average about 84 cents per litre this year, $175 million in GST revenues will automatically pour into the federal government\u2019s coffers.But with some car-pool- ing, using energy-conserving vehicles as much as possible and not speeding to FROM [ 120 years age } April 9, 1885 DUNDEE I had a letter from a friend in Gold Hill, Nevada, dated the 15th March, and hc states that the winter \u201cbeats anything on record.We always have had in past years very cold and bad weather, snow from November to April and May, but this winter we have had no snow; it has becn summer weather all winter.The oldest Pinti or Digger Indian never has scen anything like it.It will make it bad for the country this summer, as there will not be water to run the mills, and when they cannot run to crush the ore the mincs will have to shut down.The mines will probably be stopped about 4 months this scason.No rain, no snow for 11 months.\u201d It must be that we in Canada have had Nevada's portion of winter added to ours.There must have been a mistake somewhere in the weather arrangement, and we have suffered in reduce the amount of gas that one uses, there will be less tax for the government to collect out of our pockets at the pumps.In theory, gas taxes are used for road development and transportation initiatives.But anyone who has ever driven anywhere knows roads are not being developed.And unless you are living in urban, suburban neighborhoods, the possibility of using public transit does not seriously exist.In Europe, you can get just about everywhere - urban and rural - by public transit, mainly by train.There used to be train stations in practically every village across Quebec.Most of the tracks are still there, so perhaps the higher prices at the pumps will be an incentive for the public to consider more environmentally friendly transportation alternatives.Instead of gas-guzzling sport utility vehicles (SUV) perhaps more people will now consider electric gas hybrid (EHV) vehicles like Lacolle inventor Lou Gyory\u2019s Dodge Neon that can be seen buzzing around the Chateauguay Valley (see article in The Gleaner March 9).In the meantime, people need to, at the very least, stop driving from one location to the next, wasting gas, looking for the lowest gas price to save a few cents.In the end, local gas retailers are not getting rich with the higher gas prices, but the government is as more than 50 per cent of the gas pump price is taxes.Susanne J.Brown » © (, [LEA NER o 5, BNE having too much snow and frost and they in that section from having too little.It is better to have an even distribution of weather, but whether an even distribution of property, such as is advocated by he sccialisis, would be for the best, is a question which will not be solved in our day.The family of Hugh McMaster, Dundee, are nearly all down with the scarlet fever.Capt.Smallman has purchased village lot No.5, from George Childs & Co., of Montreal.The captain has purchased 1000 cords of wood which has been hauled in here this winter, for the use of his boats.1 understand that there is no demand for wood on the banks of the Lake this winter, and that is the reason why so much more has been brought here than for a number of years previous.A tailor who understands his business and attends to it, make good fits, sound on the \u201cgoose,\u201d and will vote for the Scott act, and \u201cact\u201d up to it, would find a good opening in this section.HT HN, REMEMBER WHEN YOU AUT oR SEEDLINGS IN THE VEN WITH THE OUEN LIGHT QV TD KEEP THEM WAM .- WELL I\u201d REHATED Rod Ed CAM ANA HAS [ 60 ysars age | april 11, 1045 SMART BOY SOLVES PROBLEM Applying the simple logic of youth, a small boy solved a problem that had baffled some of the country\u2019s brightest minds.The problem was what to do with some 19,000 steel helmets of World War 1 design that had been declared surplus to War Assets Corporation.Outmoded as military millinery, these \u2018tin\u2019 hats appeared destined to be sold at a fraction of a cent each as scrap.Canadian newspapers tried to be helpful.Their search for ideas produced a flood of suggestions which ran the gamut from flower pots, bird baths, feeding bowls for calves, along to hens nests.But none proved feasible.Then in the window of a Vancouver ARCHIVES store whose owner had offered to display them, this unknown, juvenile genius saw the helmets.\u2018The price fitted his purse.In two hours all the helmets in the store were gone and the rush was on across Canada.Altogether 18,966 tin hats went on to the pates of volunteer junior commandos and War Assets can fill orders for 50,000 more if it can find the helmets.As a companion piece, according to J.P.Gledhill, Director of Sales of War.Assets Corporation, 47,000 dummy wooden rifles, originally designed for the training of cadet corps became surplus and these, selling for the price of a sundae, were grabbed off the kids of Canada.Now the headache of War Assets isn\u2019t to find a market for these surpluses but to find the surpluses for the market.[ 30 years ago ] april 8, 2005 INITIAL PATIENTS ADMITTED The Huntingdon County Hospital welcomed its first two patients into its new facilities last Wednesday, thus marking its unofficial opening as a functioning institution.Shortly after 10 a.m.patients Mrs.Wilfred Kelly and Miss Ruth Warden were moved from the emergency section to well-appointed, sunny new rooms in the regular section of the building.It was a happy moment for nursing and adminstrative staff as the two beds were moved smoothly through the carpeted halls.Though the hospital will have its official opening ceremonies only after all equipment has been installed, the real beginning of care for patients in the area.The emergency department has been functioning since its temporary quarters in St.Joseph\u2019s Parish Hall.\u2018For the first week or so, we will be operating in a reduced capacity, until we get things like meals ready to function on a full scale basis,\u201d Nursing Director Mrs.Jean Arnold told The Gleaner.There are all kinds of details to be ironed out, but in the meantime, we are offering the best possible care to our patients.\u2019 No date has been announced as yet for the official opening.\"GLEANER The Newspaper that knows your local community The 66 Chiteauguay St., Huntingdon, Oc, JOS THO | | A N | Tol.: (450) 264-5364 -

two from each high school - were also animators during the day and led ice-breaking activities with the students and helped the vice-principals wit h the workshops.The New Frontiers School Board wants \u201cto make sure we understand what we are doing, how they are learning, how English school board planning for the future we can be supportive of that learning and what improvements we can do,\u201d said Dr.Robertson.From elementary to adults, the common thread of what students involved in the Focus Day said they want is more one-on-one time with teachers in smaller classes.Elementary students said they also want longer gym time, recess time, and rewards for being good.In addition, they figure they need \u201ccomputers, bilingual learning, more challenges, more books, better books, and patient, interesting, fun teachers.\u201d High school students also want more gym and option courses, but they don\u2019t want more books.They would rather have interactive teaching and hands on Just as high school students said they want \u201creal-life experience learning\u201d and \u201cdouble classes are not fun\u201d, adult students want \u201cteachers with good experience\u201d and \u201cnot a lot of classes in one day.\u201d In the end, \u201cthe point I like the most is the fact they [the school board] are turning to us to see how we [the students) would like to see things change in the schools, in the curriculum,\u201d said Marie- Eve Pawlukiewicz of the Howard S.Billings Alternative Program.New site for Snowmobile Grass Drag Race Championship in Godmanchester Patrice Laflamme ransiates by Susanne J Brown.The fourth Snowmobile Grass Drag Race Championship in Godmanchester will not be held in the large field beside the Chemin de Planches.The main organizer, Paul de Martin, confirmed to The Gleaner/La Source that the competition will be moved to another site this year on land beside Route 138, in front of the old Sûreté du Québec police station.To be able to relocate the competition to another site, de Martin had to obtain the green light from the local Union des producteurs agricoles (provincial farm union).The land to be used for the competition, above all is farmland and discussions had to be held in order to be able to use a portion of the 38-acres for the races and special activities.\u201cThe 28-acre field beside the Chemin de Planches has become too small for this type of competition,\u201d said de Martin.He said if the UPA had said no to moving the championship, it would have been kept at the original site.Mr.de Martin and his team are ensuring the future track will be in the best possible state and in accordance with specifications for the Motorized Competitions Series.In the coming days, the land will have to be leveled and a cover crop will be planted.\u201cThe conditions will be so good that speed records are at risk of being equaled otherwise beaten,\u201d he said.Even if the former site was considered to be one of the best in Quebec for snowmobile grass drag races, the promoter is of the opinion that the new track will fill This years\u2019 Snowmobile Grass Drag Race Championship in Godmanchester will be held on land beside Route 138 in front of the old Sûreté du Québec police station September 24 and 25.(Archive photo) the expectations of competitors and the public.\u201cThe Quebec Federation will come to visit it soon, but already I can say that the new site will easily surpass the other, in terms of quality and of performances,\u201d said de Martin.The other advantage of the new site is Chartered Real Estate Broker res.: 450-371-4446 off.: 450-264-5115 3215866-230208-4 SPECIALS PUDDING 5,00$/unit PORK AND BEEF [fF CIR BACON 4,79$ | Ib BLOOD BOUCHERIE /a BEEF||B QUALITY MEAT GUARANTEED -
