[" FWD - QUEBEC GOA 920 Truck purchase for fire brigade - Town can go ahead with \u201chorrowing by-law _ Patrice Laflamme (transtated by Denise D.Hubert The Town of Huntingdon will now have some elbow room to acquire a new vehicle, which the fire brigade urgently needs to fight fires in the area.Adopted by the town council on , April 1, a borrowing by-law for $500,000 will enter into force as anticipated.The money will be used for the purchase of a new ladder truck to replace the existing vehicle, which dates back to 1975 and has been in use by local firefighters since - 1999.\u2018If the borrowing by-law was not , immediately shelved, it was because .not enough citizens bothered to protest.On April 21, Huntingdon residents were called upon to consider the half-million dollar borrowing by-law.However, not enough people came to ask the elected municipal officials to hold a public consultation.[ See FiPetruck page 12] en A i Biblio I'Assem National - Div Periodiques 1035, rue Des

choosing to settle for good in Howick.It seems that the population is getting younger,\u201d explained the village mayor, Denis Loiselle, in an interview with The Gleaner/La Source.The new properties are concentrated on Stewart Street, which was extended in June 2007.In addition, another zone should soon be ready for developments, which will be available for future home buyers.No fewer than 77 more homes are planned for the town.\u201cA new phase in this residential development project should begin soon, with the construction of these new houses.The street may bear the name Watson,\u201d noted the mayor.In contrast with other municipalities that will do anything to simulate new home construction, Howick does not offer popular incentives to lure in future buyers.\u201cWe have other advantages.Our price of land is among the most competitive compared to what is available elsewhere.The tax rate here is also reasonable,\u201d emphasized Loiselle.The mayor also notes that Re-Max an

good leisure and recreation infrastructure.It also counts on the good quality and availability of municipal services, and on a relatively stable and bilingual population.The village is also close to Châteauguay and Montréal, which is a considerable asset, according to municipal authorities.\u201cHighway 30 is not very far,\u201d noted the mayor.Without going as far as to predict another sudden housing boom like the one Howick is now cxperiencing, municipal authorities are optimistic about new openings for residential construction in the future.\u201cWe have confidence.We can say that before

Why is the price so high NOW?Transport is increasing for the grocery items yes, alas the farmer is losing money daily to poor return for these products.Stores are getting meat from source at the lowest price that we have ever seen.Twenty years ago, we were getting more for our beef than now.Hamburger D3-4 cull cows are selling for a whooping huge 20-29 cents per pound at auctions.The trucking and auction fees eat about $100, the 1500 pound cull cow could pay $435.Moving the carcass ahead after processing, the dressed weight is down to about half the live weight and trimmed maybe 500 pounds of lean hamburger.What did you say you paid for your meat at the store?The selling farmer might have ended up with about $350 left on his payday.Can you imagine feeding and caring for a beef cow for a whole year to get one calf that is sold as a market feeder when weaned and the income from this stocker is probably less than a dollar per pound most being about 75 to 80 cents per pound last October at 500- 600 pounds.It takes 100 bales of hay per year to feed a cow usually.Costing to process the hay if you have your own fields or to buy at $2.50 or more per bale not including the work to feed, water, and keep that cow clean and bedded during winter months.Also to maintain her health with booster vaccine each year and attend her during her calving to insure she has a healthy live calf.That calf cost the buying producer feeding those finished beef at 600 pounds about $500 per calf if the birth raising seller was lucky.Then - according to the Ontario Farmer market prices April 8, 2008 the price of a 900 pound finished beef steer would be between 71 cents and 87 cents per pound.Do the figuring.How can you feed a steer to a 900 pound weight and get $639-$783 when you already invested $500 and feed it to finished weight.Margin is bankruptcy level for the producers.For the past three years each time we fill our diesel tank for the tractors the cost has risen about 25%.We filled in March this year so the bulk fuel has risen constantly since then.Corn selling at $203.per tonne, cornflakes are $5 per box.How many boxes in a tonne?Add the rising cost of seed, fertilizer, machinery and manpower.Somebody is making money - not the farmer!

is situated.While so engaged, his attention was caught by the sight of clothing among the half-melted snow in a corner where some bushes grow and going up, was shocked to find the body of a man.Running to the neighboring houses a number of persons were soon grouped round the corpse, the face of which was so disfigured as to the unrecognizable.Miss Thompson identified it was William McHardy\u2019s, from a pair of wristlets she had knitted for him.Dr.Elder was sent for and, after examination, declared that death had resulted from natural causes, of which the indications were apparent.One afternoon in Christmas week he had visited Andrew Montgomery's and then went on to Mrs.Thompson\u2019s, where he stayed some time and left in the evening, presumable for the lines, to get some liquor.He was at Jamieson\u2019s corners that week, but whether on the evening of his death is uncertain.No matter where he got the drink, he secured -a supply and started back.On nearing and crossing the fence he lay down in the shelter of the bushes that grew in the corner of a field, where he deliberately made preparations for going to bed.Rolling up his mitts, fur cap, and empty whiskey-flask he made a pillow of the bundle, drew a woolen nightcap, he always carried with him, on his head, and tucking the skirts of his overcoat around his body, lay down to sleep from which he never wakened.Snowstorm succeeded snowstorm, covering him up from the view of passerby, and there, within sight of houses, the body lay for nearly four months.His absence caused no alarm, for he had no settled house, and the supposition was he had gone to Chazy, Th ML AE) Manager: en .André Castagnier Hebdos acastagnier@gieaner-source.com Montéréglens Office: .+.La lore mn eee Sheri Graham Liz

had been in the habit of visiting.Wm E McHardy was born in Braemar, Scotland, and came to Canada in 1834, when he visited this country, where his father was comfortably settled.He was in Montreal at the breaking out of the rebellion, when he enlisted in the 3rd battalion and remained until disbanded in May 1838.On the renewal of trouble in the fall he joined Capt.Urquhart\u2019s company of the 2nd regt.of Glengarry, and was with it when it crossed to Beauharnois and advanced as far as St.Philippe.By this time he had acquired a taste for military life, and on the Glengarries being relieved of duty, enlisted in Major Boston\u2019s Royal Montreal artillery, and remained in Capt.Ross\u2019s company until the corps was discharged in 1842.At the outbreak of the American war, he joined a N.Y.regt, the 96th, in which he became a sergeant and adjutant\u2019s clerk, and stayed until the close, when he came back to Canada and joined Major Whyte\u2019s company of volunteers and afterwards the Franklin Centre Company.Until old age disqualified him, he shouldered a musket in either battalion as they were ordered to camp.His weakness for drink made him unfitted for steady employment and he led a wandering, inoffensive life.An excellent scholar, he taught school for many years, but latterly did nothing beyond posting books and doing any writing required by those who knew him.He met with difficulty in securing the pension from the U.S.government to which he was entitled and it is vexatious to record that the documents which would have entitled him to it and $2500 of back pay were awaiting his signature at Burke, while he was lying dead by a fence.That his family will not received it is doubted.Deceased leaves a wife and daughter and was 68 years of age.[ 80 years ago ] April

with the new projector machines that had been installed and the new screen.Since that time, other improvements have been made and this theatre is building up to be one of the most up-to-date.As stated in the previous announcement, Mrs.O\u2019Connor planned to have new seats placed in the theatre and also to improve the seating arrangement in the balcony.These improvements have now been made and the whole inside of the theatre has been renovated and re-deco- rated.The tie-up seats that were on the ground floor have been moved to the balcony and have been firmly secured to the floor as required by law.These seats are placed along the balcony wall leaving an aisle completely around the balcony to both stairways.This arrangement provides a good view of the screen from all parts of the balcony and also plenty of room for persons to come and leave the balcony.As an added precaution a two- rail fence has been placed on the cap of the balcony wall.The whole arrangement provides more comfortable seating and a better view of the screen from the balcony by all using it.B SHAS * 3 séLacy WT me.QCNA En H w ns The Gleaner will publish all comments or news articles of interest under certain

Recreation Hall is ready for public use.Two groups have already made arrangements to use the 50 by 120 foot steel building for gatherings during May, and the Loisirs want other community associations and individuals to know that they too can take advantage of one of the first such facilities in the area.Non-profit functions can, for the moment, use the hall free of charge.Individuals or profit making enterprises will pay $125 per rental.\u201cIf admission is to be charged at the door, then the charge is made,\u201d said Eliodore Duquette, head of the Loisirs committee which administers the hall.Though the interior of the building is obviously unfinished, the Loisirs are kitchen equipment installed before the Francophone Boy Scout movement holds its dance there on May 20.Previous to that, the Cercle des Fermieres will hold a May 10 Mother\u2019s Day Banquet in the hall, and at least 250 chairs and adequate number of tables are now ready to be placed.Eventually the hall, which has so far cost close to $200,000 will provide a location for all kinds of indoor sports for Ormstown residents, young and old.\u201cThe main hall will be ideal for tennis, badminton, basketball and other sports.But first, of course, we must buy all the equipment, and that costs money which we don\u2019t have at the moment,\u201d said Lindsay Cullen, another committee member.Until next fall, then, the hall, located on Roy St.next to the swimming pool also operated by the Loisirs, will serve only as a center for social activities.Meanwhile, committees will be hard at work organizing a schedule of sports activities.LEY SOI ET a om Huntingdon Town Council Councillor driven from council discussions Patrice Laflamme (translated by Denise 0.Hubert The iron rule of Huntingdon mayor Stéphane Gendron continues to dominate the Huntingdon town council.The magistrate announced that town councillor Tonya Welburn would be definitively driven from town council caucus.The announcement provoked a war of words between the two elected municipal officials on Friday evening April 18 in the middle of an extraordinary town council session.The meeting, held in the absence of councillors Bruno Latreille and Claude Racine, ended when Ms.Welburn and her colleague Howard Welburn left the town hall.Gendron arrived at his decision after hearing from a friend that Welburn attended a regional forum of the Quebec Liberal Party in Châteauguay last November 14.which brought together regional mayors.He had declined his invitation to this colloquium.stating he was opposed to this political organization.even though he has personal friends involved with the QLP.According to Gendron, Welburn participated in this meeting as a stand-in for the mayor.\u201cYou do not understand the role of a proxy-mayor who must be there when it is impossible for the mayor to attend an important appointment.You need to know how to use judgment,\u201d insisted Gendron, turning to Welburn.He quoted the contents of an official report documenting the councillor\u2019s participation in this activity as a representative of the Town.The municipal councillor explained her attendance at the Liberal gathering, insisting she did not go there as a representative for Mayor Gendron.\u201c1 went there on a purely private basis, as a private citizen.| received my invitation from the OLP\u201d she maintained.The mayor also pointed a finger at the councillor for an open letter she had print- cd in The Gleaner/La Source last November 14.where she wrote that she felt labelled as \u201cthe town council opposition.\u201d Once more, the mayor and councillor exchanged words for several minutes about the functions a town councillor must fill.Gendron lashed out at Welburn.\u201cYou do not have the capacity to understand your role as municipal councillor.\u201d he said.Indignant.Welburn said she does not know what prompted the mayor to attack her verbally on two fronts.\u201cWhat does this make of the agenda?\u201d she asked.The exchange of shots between Gendron and Welburn obviously irritated Councillor Ronald Critchley.who asked for a two-minute closed-door meeting, which he was refused.He came back with a demand for a recess of several minutes, allowing tempers time to calm.Welburn asked the mayor to apologize for the remarks made by him towards her, but he refused.The municipal councillor abruptly left her seat, followed by her colleague Howard Welburn.The meeting ended as abruptly, an hour after it had begun, because only two councillors and the mayor were left in attendance.Town renounces plan to annex part of Hinchinbrooke Patrice Laflamme (Translated by Denise D.Hubert) The Town of Huntingdon has finally given up its hope to attach a part of Hinchinbrooke to its territory.At an irregular town council meeting Friday evening April 18, Mayor Stéphane Gendron publicly withdrew the request, formulated by Huntingdon\u2019s municipal authorities in mid-February, to annex a part of the township.He indicated that he had reached this decision over lunch with his Hinchinbrooke counterpart, Normand Créte.\u201cI informed Mr.Créte at the mayors\u2019 lunch with the Malian ambassador to Canada Friday afternoon that we will desist in our (annexation) request,\u201d he declared.The understanding between the two elected municipal officials proceeded smoothly, according to Gendron.\u201cThe whole thing went over well with Mr.Créte,\u201d he emphasized.Gendron also said the two mayors should have a work meeting, \u201cso that this issue can be resolved by mutual agreement.\u201d This announcement comes several days after refusals to act on annexing a section of the township to Huntingdon from both the Hinchinbrooke town council and the Haut St-Laurent MRC.At their monthly meeting in April, the MRC council of mayors decided with a strong majority in favour of a resolution disapproving of the motions Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Safe storage is a must! liana Hristova Safe management of dangerous household waste starts at home, way before you get these items to the many collection points set for this.HHW is mainly made of pesticides, fertilizers, cleaning solutions, solvents, varnish, paints, fuel, batteries, aerosols, stain removers, used motor oil and filter oil, antifreeze and other toxic products of household use.The storage of these products can mean a risk of fire, accidental spill and contamination of ambient air.Also, the environmental impacts are particularly serious when these products are disposed of in municipal solid waste or sewers.Many steps must be taken to ensure the security of every member of the family and to preserve the environment.Keep in mind the following: Never dispose of dangerous household waste using municipal solid waste or sewer; Make sure they are out of reach of children and domestic pets; Keep them in their original containers, closed tight and properly identified; Store them in dry, aired and tempered places; away from frost and warm sources; Do not mix products.(While doing so increases the risks, mixed products are not easily recycled); Do not store bases (pool products, silverware polish, DRANO to clean pipes.Javel water, etc.) near acid products (cleaning solutions, TILEX, etc.); Safe storage methods allow keeping dangerous household waste until the next annual collect where specialists can take them away and recycle them, upgrade them or process them adequately.The MRC of Haut-Saint-Laurent organise HHW collections every year in many municipalities.This year, the collection points will be Ormstown, Tres- Saint-Sacrement, Godmanchester, Saint- Anicet, Saint-Chrysostome and Sainte- Barbe.Here are the dates and times: Ormstown (Salt warehouse, 9 Saint-

portion of Hinchinbrooke's territory to the town.\u201cThere was no demonstration of why it is essential to Huntingdon's development to annex this land to its territory.\u201d explained MRC Prefect, Alain Castagner.on April 16, justifying the MRC's position.\u201cIt is not essential for Huntingdon to include these vacant lots in its territory for the purpose of standardizing its investment policies and fiscal treatment toward these businesses, since, as owner of the land, the Town has a variety of possibilities for reaching these objectives.\u201d Moreover, Castagner remarked that such an annexation \u201cwould amplify the residential enclave of Hinchinbrooke and would prevent citizens in contiguous township zones from being able to refuse zoning changes.\u201d The township mayor, Normand Créte, hardly scemed surprised by the decision from Huntingdon\u2019s municipal authoritics to end the annexation process.\u201cIn any event, the Town did not have the MRC's approval, nor that of our municipality.In this sense, there wasn't much they could do,\u201d he explained in a telephone interview with The Gleaner/La Source.While he said he is open to dialogue with his Huntingdon counterpart, Crête hopes they have the facts straight on this subject.An evening with the frogs at Wildlite Area Patrice Laflamme (Translated by Denise D.Hubert The international scientific community

Andrianivo Rafidimalalaniaina is already ministering in the Ste-Martine parish, which includes the churches in Ste- Martine, St-Urbain-Premier and Trés-St- Sacrement de Howick.He met his parishioners on April 5 and 6.Meanwhile, Father Roland Razanoelina Tsitohaina will work in the St-Viateur parish, which unites the catholic communities of St-Louis-de-Gonzague, St-Malachie d\u2019Ormstown and St-Antoinc-Abbé.He was present for masses on April 12 and 13.\u201cBoth were welcomed by their new parishioners,\u201d noted Abbot André Lafleur, the vicar general of the diocese.The bishop of Valleyfield, His Eminence Luc Cyr, extended an invitation to the two monks following their 2002 trip to Canada for World Youth Day (WYD) in Toronto.\u201cAs the Valleyfield diocese was involved in reception and planning for WYD, Fathers Andrianivo and Roland came to stay in the Huntingdon region.From that moment, bonds were built,\u201d explained Abbot Lafleur, who even visited

Gabriel Clément for the celebrations at the St-Joseph de Huntingdon church.\u201cFather Fidy spent some time here in the summer to study the possibility of coming here and settling,\u201d explained René Vigneau, permanent deacon and communications agent for the Valleyfield diocese.Father Razanoelina Tsitohaina, aged 34, came to the region during the winter.\u201cIt was his first visit to Québec.Upon his arrival, he was treated to abundant snow and temperatures colder that minus 16 Celsius,\u201d noted Vigneau.As part of the Discalced Carmelite order, the two Malagasy monks will act as priest-collaborators rather than as priests, at least for the short term.They will participate in preparing baptisms, funerals and marriages, as well as leading Sunday masses and offering other pastoral services.In the Ste-Martine parish, Father Father Andrianivo Rafidimalalaniaina is already ministering in the Ste-Martine parish, which includes the churches in Ste- Martine, St-Urbain-Premier and Très-St- Sacrement de Howick.He met his parishioners on April 5 and 6.Rafidimalalaniaina will work under the supervision of Abbot Jean Courville, while in Abbot Lafleur will take Father Razanoelina under his wing in the St- Viateur parish.Although they are working in two different parishes, the two monks won°t be far apart.They\u2019ll share accommodations in the presbytery of the Ste-Martine church.The two new priests should not have any difficulty communicating with their parishioners.In addition to speaking Malagasy, they also express themselves quite well in French.Fathers Razanoelina Tsitohaina and Rafidimalalaniaina also get along quite well in English.Given the chronic shortage of priests for the diocese and the aging of its clergy members, it will be no surprise to see Bishop Cyr calling upon priests from foreign nations if the number of young candidates for priesthood remains this weak in the future.\u201cIn the Huntingdon area, there are nine catholic communities to serve and only six priests available.With only three seminarists in training, the needs are great,\u201d asserted Abbot Lafleur.Father Roland Razanoelina Tsitohaina will be

start a business but those who are already in business.The network allows entrepreneurs to learn from each other, support one another and when possible refer ESN members to potential clients.The

with a number of dedicated English-speaking entrepreneurs who have volunteered their time and ideas to get this network off the ground.\u201cHow can we work together to figure something out?\u201d

exclaims.\u201cBy developing further we are able to offer more to entrepreneurs and subsequently to the community.Before the network was established many English entrepreneurs were working in isolation yet they were facing similar struggles and had the same questions about owning and running a business.By bringing entrepreneurs together we can work to make each enterprise a little different and provide an opportunity for the community to get what it wants and needs.\u201d Also Stacey states, \u201cThere are no secrets, it\u2019s open.\u201d So it\u2019s open to everyone and it

first issue was shipped off into cyberspace, Stewart received a phone call from a woman interested in buying the publication.As her popularity rises, she finds herself teaming up with Farm Tribute Canada, a very special opportunity.\u201cI just want people to understand the risks and challenges agricultural producers face to get a safe food supply to the population,\u201d she says modestly, and that she did.Stewart believes that she\u2019s had a little help from heredity.Her uncle is a published author in Ottawa.After a tragic house fire in early December of last year took almost all of her belongings, Stewart has a positive outlook on what is to come.\u201cLife can take you in so many directions,\u201d she says.She found a home with her boyfriend and agricultural producer Randy Maither in Hinchinbrooke and left her full-time West Island job to make Alba PR her full-time gig.When.asked where she sees herself in five to ten years she stated, \u201cAs I found out after my fire, life can do a 180 degree turn, so who knows.\u201d She hopes to still be busy and working and still helping the agricultural community.When asked about her goals for the future, she answers ingenuously, \u201cJust to be able to look back and see that I've accomplished something.\u201d 3228362-300408-2 3224114-141107-04 To The Gleaner for their continued support of the CVR High School journalism

30, 2008 » The Gleaner Artist, entrepreneur, school commissioner .BY ROSE BELL, SASHA LATOUR & JESSICA BOUTHILLIER Many people have examined John Ryan's cartoons in The Gleaner each week.Yet most people don\u2019t know of his diverse talents in the arts or his deep involvement in the community.He has done many tribute portraits of inductees to the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame.With these paintings, he goes beyond a simple portrait of the person adding scenes of their accomplishments.He has done the same for Canadian sports heroes and leaders in the corporate world.In the carly days of his art career, during the 80\u2019s, John experimented with horse portraits.He captured different perspectives that the horse owners liked.All the while, he was still drawing cartoons for The Gleaner.Leafing through his box of memorabilia and samples from his portfolio he says it\u2019s good to look back on his early work.\u201cThere have been a lot of transitions from the 80\u2019s to now,\u201d he says in a soft- spoken voice.During the 90\u2019s John began doing.commissioned work.Many of John Ryan's paintings have been raffled off for fund- raising for finding cures for illnesses and preserving wetlands for wildlife, among other worthy causes.One of John\u2019s proudest moments was the time he created a two-page spread for Canadian Geographic in 1993.Along with paintings, John makes his own frames from wood cut on his property.He says there's a certain satisfaction taking a project from start to finish, even though it might have been more efficient to by ready-made frames.John Ryan has a very defined philosophy on life: \u201cYou have to have a balance between fun and economic stability.It's an experience, it enriches the whole thing.\u201d John believes that creating his art is a way of fulfilling his craving for the arts.\u201cEnjoy it and time won't feel as long.\u201d Meanwhile being economically stable.John believes in working for enjoyment, and not for a higher income.Although, he states, \u201cIt helps, to a certain extent.\u201d John Ryan is involved in numerous community groups, such a commissioner for the New Frontiers School Board, a director .cartoonist, community volunteer, John Ryan\u2019s art studio is between this old outbuilding and his house.He balances his creative work with business tasks leaving time to ponder solutions for the many community issues he deals with on a daily basis.Photos: Sasha Latour of the Quebec English School Board Association, the president of the Cultural Committee of the MRC Haut St.Laurent.He serves as the vice president on a regional health care board and he is a member of the Entrepreneurs Support Network.He says it\u2019s important that the whole community is working together.John has given to the community by dedicating his time.When asked why he belongs to so many community organizations he responded, \u201cIt is nice working with the people in these organizations, and like everybody else I want to make a little difference if I can.\u201d Ryan believes that their organizations truly help to better the day-to-day quality John Ryan cuts his own trees and saws his own logs to make frames for his paintings.Below are several pieces of customized wood of lifé for all.He says that in order to have , he will assemble into frames.the community even better, \u201cEverything comes down to communication.\u201d His philosophy for this community is for everyone to work together-health, education, business, culture-and to help each other.His view that culture is also important for every community's economy is shown by him saying, \u201cA strong community is a cultural community.\u201c John, on his Ridge Road property in Godmanchester, works quietly in his studio day by day creating art.While being immersed in this passion he is always thinking of ways to improve the quality of life for the citizens of southwestern Quebec.10 Church St.Ormstown 450.829.2686 +
