these problems.\u201d To get things off the ground, the CDC has launched a fund-raising campaign, in order to hire an administrative assistant and an organizer, and to launch projects such as a

graduation season often awakes a feeling of dread among many Valley people, who associate this festive time with the rash of traffic accidents involving young people which all too often has marked this period over the years.One good thing in recent times has been the stiffer penalties for drinking and driving, which has cut the number of alcohol- related accidents among the teen-age group and among the general population as well.The designated driver is a valued member of any party.But it still seems that our young people are exceptionally vulnerable to accidents at this season, as this week\u2019s news illustrates only too clearly with a total of eight students involved in three separate crashes.Perhaps it's co-incidental, but the fact that most high-school grads are relatively inexperienced drivers, plus the excitement percolating through the school and the community at this time, may lower driver concentration, leaving the young people at the mercy of a momentary lapse or minor variations in road conditions.And, of course, this is the time when the teens enjoy the greatest access to their parents\u2019 vehicles, given dances and parties spread over a wide territory throughout the Valley and even into the Montreal area.This year there were no serious injuries, a fact for which we can be thankful.But a year hence, when the calendar page flips to June, there will still be a feeling of foreboding along with the rejoicing at graduation time.gn FROM GLEANER ARCHIVES .120 years ago June 20, 1878 SCHOOL REPORT .to the commissioners of Ormstown.In Writing, so many

VALERIE FURCALL, HUGUES THEORET Letters Vandals at sports field need to learn responsible behavior I am writing on behalf of my son, who participates in sports with the Athelstan Community Sports Association.Registration began this week.When we arrived for the Wednesday night session, we found that some of the property had been damaged.I was hoping to appeal to the hooligans that broke tw , picnic tables, smashed bottles on the basketball court, and stole the basketball net.But obviously these people have no regard for property that belongs to others.From speaking to other parents and organizers, it seems that this is a regular occurrence.Do the people responsible for this dam: age not realize that eventually, if they have children, it will cost them?My wish is that these people get caught and they bear the cost of repairing and replacing the equipment and property that has been damaged.If they are minors, then their parents should be made to pay.Then, and only then will they leam a valuable lesson in economics, and how to behave in society as decent human beings.Michael Pagé Huntingdon Local man deplores cuts in teller services at large banks I have just completed a

then subsequently M.Patenaude also took an additional salary as MRC Information Officer \u201c\u2026 because he does his own work .\".Please correct me if I got the numbers wrong! Perhaps M.Patenaude could repeal those increases, that he and his colleagues voted themselves after taking office at the last municipal elections?Then, and only then, maybe, just maybe, | will believe him when he says he is \u201cpowerless\u201d to stop \u201cmunicipal tax burden\u201d.Tell me again, who pays salaries for elected officials?The Tooth Fairy?Actions shout louder than words! On February 19, 1997, The Gleaner reported that in response to a letter to MRC Prefect Patenaude, \u201c\u2026 a promise was given at last week's MRC meeting to change the position of the flags outside the MRC building to conform to international protocol \u2026\u201d.M.Patenaude, could you now June 1998) fly the Canadian Flag in its place of honor, outside the MRC building?However, you may be \u201cpowerless\u201d to do even this one simple thing.You have perhaps lost the flagpole key and it takes over a whole year to find another?I suspect that Québecois voters have longer memories than M.Patenaude gives them credit for.Michael PJ.Crossling Hinchinbrooke \u2014\u2014 General news Féte Nationale.from page 1 feboard will follow, with more outside games (obstacle race, tug-of-war, arm- wresting and horse-shoes) continuing until a hot-dog and hamburger supper at 5 p-m.The evening schedule offers more performances by young people, a soccer game, a family softball game, bonfire and lk music at 11 p.m.(Some events will be cancelled or moved indoors in case of rain.)

FJ Education » : Cg gr A Wy PAE Valerie Furcall THE GLEANER To the uninitiated, they're squiggly little larvae and insects found around algae and rocks in a river.But for ecowatchers studying the ecology and health of the Chateauguay River, these bottom-feeding benthic macroinver- tebrates (molluscs, crayfish, snails, worms, leeches, and Mayfly, Stonefly, Cadd fly, etc, larvae) are excellent indicators of the chemical and physical health of a river.The results of year-long testing will be incorporated into an exhibit at the Montreal Biosphère, which recently welcomed a new partner in the Adopt-a-River project, under its Ecowatch Network.Representatives of three river-side schools and two water-management agencies involved in the \u201cWatershed Networking Project\u201d gathered at the Huntingdon rapids (beside Russell Park), where the first sample-taking and testing officially began on June 5.The international project involves New York State\u2019s Chateaugay Central High School (teacher Jeff Rundell); Huntingdon\u2019s St.Joseph Elementary School (teachers Yvonne Langlois and Gerry Carrigan); and Chateauguay\u2019s Harmony Elementary (teacher Brian Vissar); Vermont's River Watch Network, Ste-Martine\u2019s Chateauguay Watershed Management (l-r) Eli and students Matthew Darragh Aaron Legault scooped out tiny creatures for water quality testing in the Chateauguay River in Huntingdon.(Photo: VF) st oun Agency (SCABRIC) and the Biosphere.Into the river Some 35 students and their teachers will use scientific methods to gather data on water quality, such as pH, turbidity and alkalinity, and aquatic life.This data will be sent to the Biosphere, which will disseminate it to the scientific community and the public in its exhibition hall and on its Internet site:Http://biosphere.ec.gc.ca, Ecowatch director Michel Provencher said.Quebec\u2019s Education Ministry has provided funding to pay for substitute teachers so project teachers can develop a classroom teaching manual and assist students with the testing, Jim Sullivan of the QEM's Anglophone Community Services department said.\u201cThe students are the ones wading into the river, scooping the bugs into the nets, taking samples, counting and preserving them, and then graphing the results, which are compared with results from the other schools.The Biosphere will publish the data and translate the teaching manual into French for other school projects.\u201cMacroinvertebrate communities require specific environmental conditions to exist, and they will reflect any changes that occur to the water quality.In the food chain, these creatures constitute an important link between aquatic plants, leaf litter, algae and higher levels of the food web, fish being one,\u201d explained Yvonne Langlois.How it works The three schools involved will collect simultaneously for two minutes, using a flat-bottomed net with .59 mm mesh.Samples are collected from the net and transferred to a jar with 70 per cent alcohol solution.Samples are sorted to species and genus.Equipment needed includes wading boots, bucket, thermometer, measuring Macroinvertebtrates collected fro the Chateauguay River are first a out into trays for sorting, counting and preserving.(Photo: VF) stick, stopwatch, clipboard, sample jar, gloves, sieve and nets.\u201cThe information obtained through the project will inform residents in riverside communities about the state of the watercourse, so they can take steps to improve the condition of the environment, and this gets them involved in the process,\u201d Provencher said.\u201cThe goal is to make people aware of the importance of these valuable resources and the need to take action to protect them,\u201d he added.BIRTHS & DEATHS CARD OF THANKS, IN MEMORIAMS, ENGAGEMENTS.DIED BROWN, Sheila G.- Went to be with her Lord on June 11, 1998 after a courageous battle with cancer at the Ottawa Civic Hospital.Survived by her mother Janet and predeceased by her father William and Brother Donald.Visitation was held Sunday, June 14 at Tubman Funeral Home, 3340 Richmond Road, Nepean.Funeral service at held St.Paul's Presbyterian Church, 971 Woodroffe Ave on Monday, June 15.Interment at Georgetown Presbyterian Cemetery, Howick, Quebec Tuesday, June 16.In lieu of flowers, donations to Cancer Clinic, c/o Ottawa Civic Hospital;
