traffic and parking on both sides, did no permit the three metre-wide traffic lanes decreed by law.But for local merchants, threatened with loss of business, this reasoning is not popular.\u201cMy customers are unhappy and are threatening to shop elsewhere since there is no place to park in front of my store,\u201d said local hardware store owner André Laberge.Laberge says that he has noticed a drop in business since the change was introduced a couple of weeks ago.Laberge and other business-owners say that widening the traffic lanes has not made things safer on that part of See PARKING Page 5 Signs mark new no-parking area on Chateauguay St.the council and pitting residents against each other is the Aquaterra Corporation\u2019s proposed water-extraction project at the Doréa property.Where the candidates stand on the \u201cwater project\u201d will determine the outcome of the élection, observers agree.Barrière, a foreman at Leahy Orchards, says that he favors Aquaterra setting up in Franklin, providing the company quaran- tees it will respect certain conditions, the two top ones being to limit its pumping See ELECTIONS Page 6 Ormstown Fair is all geared up for Thursday opening Tomorrow (Thursday) Ormstown Exhibition swings open its gates for what promises to be \u201ca really good fair,\u201d a chipper Fair secretary, Dawn Elliott, said on Monday.Entries are up everywhere \u2014 more than 100 horses are expected for the Horse Show;

have knowledge of the environment, the economy, old tires, young pigs, underground water, and human nature in many of its least attractive manifestations.\u201cExperience in a related field such as

to advertise, we know, but some jobs are just not that easy to fill, let alone fill well.Contributing to the common good through public service is a laudable concept, but given the edginess which prevails in several Valley municipalities these days, it needs a person of great abilities to step in where angels fear to tread.And we haven't seen too many seraphim and cherubim at council meetings recently.Mayors and councillors are taking the heat in more than one community, and with the financial burden on Quebec municipalities becoming ever heavier, and changes like municipal fusion coming down the pipe willy-nilly, it is more vital than ever to have able people heading our municipalities.Without good communications and a feeling of trust between councils and residents, the future will

week they will begin to fail.The pest of insects is as great as last year.In this section the wire worm bas thinned many fields of grain, while from St Stanislas and other ridgy sections there are, at this early day, ominous reports of grasshoppers, the drouth being in their favor.Caterpillars are very bad, and fruit trees are only saved by daily watchfulness.There are .more caterpillars this season, and fewer of the tent variety.Potato bugs are appearing everywhere.Picking is the surest and safest remedy, but where this is not practical, Paris Green should be cautiously applied.Farmer should remember that this drug is a most virulent poi- 60 years ago son, and be careful in bandling it or letting stock get near where it bas been applied.Dusting is more effectual than sprinkling in killing the bugs, but is dangerous to life and injures the soil.The Dairy Factories are only getting fairly to work .The cheese factory in this village is taking in over 5,000 lbs.of milk a day, and expects to receive much more.The Elgin factory is receiving already about as much as last Year.The Helena Butter Factory, having had to refuse milk, bas added two pans.On Saturday evening, the fire engine was taken out and the first proper trial of it made since its purchase.Through 400 feet of hose, it threw a stream over Dominion Block.It is certainly as powerful a band-engine as can be

WELL, /F ORMSTOWN FAIR DOESN'T BRING RAIN, NOTHING WUL Failure to modify dam gates poses risk to Davignon Park residents Last July, serious flooding in Hinchin- brooke, particularly at Davignon Park, resulted in the loss of one life and the need to evacuate at least five families at the north end of the Park (the beach area).Officials were worried that high water levels in the man-made lake might cause the dam to burst.When I wrote to the owner of the dam and beach area about this potential hazard, I was told the dam would be inspected by an engineer and the Municipal Council and that before any future dam was built, a lock-type of lift would be installed to allow water levels to be controlled.Copies of this correspondence were sent to Hinchinbrooke Council.When I informed the mayor on June 5 that the dam had been replaced as before (without the promised improvements), and asked for his help, I was told that since the dam is located on private property; the municipality can do nothing.! was told to forget it, since the flooding had happened only once in the past 25 or 30 years.(But flooding occurred not once, but twice in 1996 alone \u2014 in November as well as in July.) I feel that the municipality, through building permits, etc., has the power to protect its taxpayers, even when the dam is on private property.And if the dam were to burst, the bridge across Main St.would be the first thing to go, isolating some 700 Park families, and the municipality would have to pay to rebuild it.We all know weather patterns have changed in recent years and this should be borne in mind.The damming of the lake each summer adds potential to the Park, and I support it, but it should be done in a safe way, adding to the well- being of all residents.Keith Walton Hincbinbrooke Letting pets run loose on roadway can mean \u201cloving them to death\u201d My daughter came home crying the other day and said she had hit a big dog with my car and didn\u2019t know if she had killed it.I went to find the owners to see if 1 could help in any way.When I found them, they coldly said their dog was dead.I really felt bad for the and of course for the dog.What people don't always realize is that the driver of the car has no intention to go out and hit an animal.The owners are in mourning and so are we.If an animal is injured the owner has to see his or her pet suffer, and either pay vet bills to keep the animal alive, or make the hard choice to put it down.I understand that in either case the owner's feelings take over, and he or she is angry.But what owners don't realize is that drivers can sue the owners for damages to their car.In Spring, wild animals often run out in front of cars; this is bad enough without having dogs and cats too.If you love your pets then please tie them up and / or keep them in the house.You are not doing your animal any favor by letting it run loose; your pet does not deserve to be loved to death.Heather Woodward St-Antoine-Abbé DE SRO RFO ARCS \u2014 = =n m= AS 60o4049$ 929930 \u201cA Parking .from page 1 Chateauguay St, which is under provincial jurisdiction as it is part of Route 138.\u201cCars and trucks are going faster now and increasing the risk of an accident to pedestrians.Before, we had many incidents of vandalism to parked cars, but I have never seen a pedestrian hit by a car since I've been in business here,\u201d Laberge told The Gleaner.The Town Council supported the protesters\u2019 position and resolved to ask the Transport ministry to change its position.Other business In other business, Council decided to buy a $3,000 piece of playground equipment for the use of small children aged two to six at the West Park between the two railroad tracks.Tow-thirds of the cost will be covered by the recent $2,000 donation from the local Citizens\u2019 Group.The Town will cover the rest of the cost of buying and installing the unit.A $500 for the Huntingdon Summer Festival, set for July 10-12, was approved.(H.T/].T) Over $20,000 raised in V'field walkathon The third annual Hip, Hip, Horray orthopedic walk for the Valleyfield area, held on Sunday morning, May 25, was the most successful so far with $20,649.raised (and still counting).Half of this amount will go to the Valleyfield hospital in the form of special equipment to aid patients with postoperative complications.The rest of the money is donated to the Canadian Orthopedic Research Council.Cool weather Despite cool weather, approximately 260 walkers, mostly recipients of artificial hips and knees, aided by canes, walkers or crutches and accompanied by relatives and friends, registered at the Club Nautique and handed in their cash donations collected from sponsors.Each was presented with a special blue T-shirt inscribed with the Hip Hip Horray logo.At 10 a.m.everyone lined up behind the organizers, including president, Mrs.Renée Gaspard;

SAVING THE SHRINKING VIOLET Part II Early spring is the best time to transplant wild woodland plants.They should be carefully dug up, surrounded with as much earth as possible, kept moist and exposed as little as possible to air.A suitable site, augmented with appropriate soil well-laced with humus, should be prepared in advance.Replanting should take place as quickly as possible, preferably on a cloudy day so the sun Will not dry out the plants.A mulch of leaves or pine needles would help to protect the transplants.Woodland plants grow under a canopy of deciduous trees or evergreens, allowing us to identify the kind of soil in which they will thrive.The following list identifies some of the hardier perennial woodland plants which stand a good chance of survival after transplanting.Blooming from late March to May, in order of appearance: Northern Truck Pullers Association TRUCK PULL Saturday, June 28, 1997, 6 p.mat Huntingdon Fairgrounds Sponsored by Huntingdon Agricultural Society Div.A.Info: Hugh 264-3117 or Gary 264-4862 BOMBAY FIRE & RESCUE DEPT.ANNUAL FATHER'S DAY CHICKEN B.B.Q.& FIELD DAY Sunday, June 15, 1997 CHICKEN B.8.6.WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS Parade at 10:30 a.m.Band \u201cNew Arrival\u201d from 1 to 5 p.m.Games, fleamarket, legal beverages Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis): sun to semi-shade; under deciduous trees in rich, soil.Mulch over winter.Round-lobed hepatica (H.Americana): sun to full shade; under deciduous trees, acidic soil; spread by division in fall.Spring Beauty (Claytonia virginica): sun to full shade; well-drained moist soil; under deciduous trees.Wild Ginger (Asarum canadenis): Partial to full shade, good ground cover.Trout Lily (Erythronium ameri- canum): Open sun to shade; needs well- drained humus.Some later arrivals, from mid-April to May: Dutchman\u2019s Breeches, (Dicentra cucullaria).Sun to full shade, in rich (Ph 6-8) moist soil.White Trillium (7.grandiflorum): In beech and maple forests.Transplant only after blooming.Squirrel Corn (Dicentra canadensis): Needs are similar to d.cucullaria.The wild violet is less threatened by extinction than many other indigenous woodland flowers.A naturalizing perennial, the violet grows and spreads successfully in a variety of soils.It can be used as a ground cover; it is not invasive, but it is aggressive enough to threaten less-hardy wild plants.Therapeutic riding project described at Hemmingford W.L.Hemmingford Women's Institute met May 7 at the Anglican Church in Hemmingford.Special guest Patricia McGill of the Lucky Harvest Project (equine-assisted rehabilitation) gave an informative presentation.Ina Clelland displayed some lap-robes, preemie bonnets, puppets and squares knitted by members.Over 2,000 squares have been knitted in the last year, which was the goal.Money was sent.to Manitoba for flood relief.A new member Marilyn Addler, was welcomed to the group.Gloria Cookman was presented with a 25-year pin for her service.A beautiful lap-robe was presented to Cara Cookman.\u2014 G.Heffernan ((GLEANER ADS GET RESULTS ) CVR grads had fun in school, now are ready for larger world Valerie Furcall THE GLEANER CVR\u2019s 30th graduating class has \u201ctaken hold of life for what it has offered, has had fun along the way, and soon will be influencing the country in which we live,\u201d said class valedictorian Christopher Rember.Proud family members, friends, CVR staff and special guests watched as 142 graduates received their diplomas June 1.Some 22 graduates with honor standing were welcomed into the Cum Laude Society (10 of whom received CVR Educational Scholarship and bursaries) while another 23 students were recipients of 31 prizes for achievement in individual subjects.David Thiel received the Reeves Scholarship and Birks Silver Medal for highest academic standing, the Governor General's Medal and two individual subject prizes.Amanda Carrigan received the Birks Bronze Medal for second-highest academic standing, the Somerville Bursary and one subject prize.Yvonne Blonde won the National Book Award given by the University of Toronto.(The award is given to students who best meet the criteria of superior academic performance; original and creative thought, and exceptional achievement in a broad context.)
