Ch.A hunting rifle was discovered near the bodies The Sûreté du Québec's crimes against the person squad is investigating the incident.One theory, a double suicide, is the most plausible at the moment, said a SQ public relations spokesman.While the identify of the victims was not released, local police said one of the men was a resident of St-Louis-de-Gonzague, while the other came from the Quebec City region.2,100 trout to be released Friday Over 2,000 rout fingerlings will be ceremoniously dumped into the Chateauguay River on Friday, as a local environment group repeats its annual

and later near the Powerscourt Bridge in Hinchinbrooke.Spectators are welcome to come out and watch the fun.This year, the Chateauguay River Rehabilitation Committee and the Town of Huntingdon each contributed $200, while Cleyn & Tinker gave $250, Hinchinbrooke, SCABRIC.and the C.J.Kyle Garage each gave $100 and the André Laberge Rona Hardware donated $50.These amounts, added to $2,000 from the

Exhibition's make-or-break factor \u2014 the weather \u2014 was \u201cbeautiful!\u201d for the four-day fair that ended Sunday, with attendance numbers back up to those of normal no-rain years, reported Fair secretary Dawn Elliott.The Friendship Centre garnered many positive comments from fair-goers who got right into listening to the country and gospel music, watching dancing, and enjoying the musicians and singers.Friday was Senior Appreciation Day, with a special performance by the Black and White Band.The dozens gathered received pins in recognition of the International Year of Older Persons, after words of welcome from Ormstown mayor Madeleine Greig, St-Malachie mayor Harold Merson and Centre co-ordinator Ellen Vibert.Saturday night's eight-horse-hitch held a scary moment when one the horses became tangled in its harness during the demonstration; however, the Crabb family\u2019s expertise in handling their steads quickly got everything under control.The six-horse-hitch class was a competitive show, with a good number of entries.\u201cEverybody wants to see the big horses perform,\u201d Elliott said.The racing crowd hung tight to the rails for Saturday afternoon\u2019s harness races.The quality of the garb in the Saturday night pony and horse costume class was evident: a zebra-striped pony with an African rider won, while a 101 dalmatian entry was second.The largest entry was E.Finlayson\u2019s Shire horse sporting a Noah's Ark theme.Pony potato race winners were Brigitte Beausoliel (alumni) and Amanda Darragh (juniors).Motor shows a hit The

staff) Using a point system based on 10 different criteria, a committee studying possible routes for a Haut-St-Laurent bicycle trail has come out in favor of converting the disused railbeds between Ormstown and Huntingdon.The committee's final report, released last week, failed to gain the support of three of its members, (UPA delegates Albert De Martin and William Bryson, and Godmanchester mayor Philippe Leblanc) who have sent a letter to the MRC maintaining their support for the alternative plan to designate rural roads along the Chateauguay to be shared by cyclists and motorists.The final verdict rests in the hands o the MRC council of mayors, which will pronounce on the questions at its August meeting.Even if the mayors vote for the railbed alternative, finding a way to finance the project is still a major stumbling block.Costly venture While the railroad plan got 65.5 points, thanks mainly to its appeal for tourists and its compatibility with existing railbed trails in other sectors, its cost is estimated at $15,000 per kilometre or about $225,000 for the stretch between Ormstown and Huntingdon alone.See TRAIL page 2 Project residents fear loss of water-line grant (Gleaner staff) Seeing only a trickle of water, often rusty, sometimes contaminated, emerge from their taps has become a way of life for over 40 residents of St-Malachie's Chantigny Development.And just when they thought that something was at last being done about it, opposition to municipal fusion between St- Malachie and Ormstown Village has placed in doubt a $450,000 grant from Quebec which would pay half the cost of a new water and sewer system.The provincial government approved the grant, after 12 years of fruitless applications by the municipality, but only on condition that fusion is accepted.On this understanding, the Parish Council approved a loan by-law for over $1 million and selected a contractor when bids, good for a 90-day period, were opened last month.Earlier in May, both Parish and Village councils voted in favor of fusion after months of negotiations.June 27 referendum But that decision led to 536 signatures on a petition calling for a Parish referendum on the fusion question, a move which has left Chantigny residents in a panic, even though the municipality has said the referendum result will not be binding.See CHANTIGNY page 5 Chantigny resident Jean-Pierre Brunet and a group of his neighbors voiced their concerns at the June 8 meeting of the St-Malachie council.(Photo: JT) vitres d'autos 2790 boul.Hébert, 71-3876 (Nitro) St-Timothée, | PE a n ed y Eo A

cost of $23,200, but received only 47 points.The route would run from Huntingdon to Howick via the Fairview Rd., Rte.138A and the Chateauguay River Rd.North.The comparison chart,designed by committee members Eric Verreault of the Suroît Tourism office and MRC rural development agent Denis Brochu, weighed each plan with respect to attracting tourists, safety, scenic qualities, ease of linking to

staff) The June 7 Town Council meeting started early .and the councillors were also starting early, given that none was more than 10 years of age.Seven Grade 4 students from Huntingdon Academy, St.Joseph School and Ecole Notre-Dame perched on the councillors\u2019 chairs to discuss an agenda heir own making, during the first- c.er model council meeting, organized by local Optimist Club members in cooperation with the three local schools.The youngsters were shadowed by their real-life counterparts as they gave their views on issues including the need fro a public library, a soccer field, a new diving board fro the town pool, and a curfew to discourage vandalism.Mayor Andy Doré-Paquet and his councillors Maxime Boisjoly, Renay Rafter, Alexandre King, Geneviève brunet, Niki Forget and Chris Forget formed the council, which had a term of office of just one week.During the meeting, parents watched proudly and some of them remarked that the real-life officials should take notice of the kids\u2019 priorities for improving community life.The youngsters followed an agenda drawn up for them by municipal secretary-treasurer Diane Guiding groups share camp experience at Powerscourt Girl Guides in the Chateauguay Valley enjoyed a weekend of fun and sun May 14-16 in Powerscourt.Opening ceremonies on Saturday morning saw the raising of the flag, and singing of \u201cO Canada\u201d by the girls and some 40 leaders and many volunteers who came to help with the program.The girls were also given a tour of the campsite to familiarize them with their surroundings.The 21 Brownies, 47 Guides, 11 Pathfinders and three Rangers appreciated the effort taken to make the event unforgettable as well as educational.One Pathfinder earned her Gold Camp badge, and the 35 Sparks who arrived early on the Sunday were tired but happy young girls when they left after the evening games.An experience all the girls remember well is the \u201cunit cooking.\u201d Some decided not the chance eating their own cooking and opted for the central quartermaster\u2019s cooking which can sometimes be unforgettable as well.Co-ordinator Louise Triggs was well pleased with the number of participants.Leaders and volunteers organized games, taught basic skills and led sing-a- longs.It was a fun time for everyone and many laughs were shared.As well as the leaders and volunteers who donated time and shared skills, Richard Grant donated some equipment.Diane Laberge, camp nurse, is also thanked for volunteering her time.\u2014 D.K-S/vf ELECTRIC SUNROOF - LEATHER - BOSE SOUND SYSTEM

municipalities with local towns and villages when we hear, once again, that a study commissioned by the MRC has called for disused railbeds to be converted to bicycle trails between Ormstown and Huntingdon.Of course, the criteria-on which the two possible plans were \u201cgraded\u201d were drawn up by tourism experts, and.the farmers\u2019 representatives on the committee took a stiff-necked position and hung back from taking part in several meetings, thereby limiting their input.So the outcome was never in too much doubt.In what seems like a recurring re-run, the MRC mayors must once again vote on the issueln whe-run, the MRC mayst once again vote on the recommendation.Ani It's too bad that more care was not taken with the altemative plan, calling for cyclists to use more scenic (but also more dangerous) country roads.With a difference of about $200,000 between the two cost estimates, supporters of the second \u201cel cheapo\u201d plan surely could have allocated a bit more money to take better care of the tourists they want to attract.The railbed plan also fails to take care of an important group of people who already live here and pay taxes here \u2014 the farmers.Their position has been clear for years, but it seems to be continually brushed aside.This does not bode well for the rural voice on amalgamated municipal councils.Surely our municipal and regional governments should be practising what they preach, starting now.gn FROM GLEANER ARCHIVES .120 years ago June 19, 1879 A lacrosse club bas been formed at Franklin Centre.A social was beld on the grounds of Dr.Shimiff, and was a remarkably pleasant gathering.Tea was served out of doors, and on the grassy lawn and under the trees the company enjoyed themselves in different ways until dark.$47 as realized, which goes towards lig- uidating the debt connected with St.Andrew's.The Helena factory bas shipped its butter direct to Liverpool, the prices offered in Montreal being less than was acceptable.The village cheese factory is now being fairly patronized, recetving over four thousand pounds of milk daily.60 years ago With the exception of being too cold, finer growing weather than bas been experienced during the past three weeks could not be desired.Hay, despite the fatlure of many old meadows, is going to be a large crop, and in Huntingdon it is the most important.All kinds of grain looks well .corn is backward for the season.The potato beetle is everywhere and farmers cannot be too energetic in giving them prompt and repeated doses of Paris green or London purple.Grasshoppers bave been extremely threatening in some localities, but it is boped the wet, cool weather we have bad bas given them a check.June 21, 1939 PROTEST DUMPING OF GARBAGE INTO THE CHATEAUGUAY Complaints are being made that garbage is being dumped into the Chateauguay River within the borders of the Town of Huntingdon.Old cans, clothing and what-not bave been dumped into the river, thus contributing to the possibility of the river carrying disease germs.It is against the law to dump garbage into the river and there is fine for the same.EXPERIMENT ENDS IN MINOR EXPLOSION

GREAT CHAMPLAIN SEA The south side of Covey Hill was at one time the edge of a great sea \u2014 the Champlain sea \u2014 and at this point it was an outlet of the seas.The rivers in this district at one time flowed towards and were tributaries of the Mississippi River, instead of the St.Lawrence.The sandstone that is found in the Chateauguay Valley is called Potsdam sandstone .The Chateauguay Valley is an old glacial lake bottom.Glaciers a mile and more in once covered this district.So far the geological survey party of the Federal Department of Mines bas found that there fust isn't much possibility of any gold or oil being found in this district.This should be of some help to the farmers of the district in case they have any illusions about their farm some day being a gold mine \u2026 They can stick to their cows and vegetables.\u2026 No pre-historic dinosaurs bave been run into yet.June 18, 1969 HUNTINGDON POOL NEARS ITS OPENING SPLASH Huntingdon County residents will have

Huntingdon \u201cY\u201d Society (Young Women's Christain Temperance Union).This was an organization of young people which flourished Jor many years and now the fountain may be recognized as a memorial to those people.Since it bas been made the centre of a beauty spot, it certainly brightens up that part of Chateauguay St.It attracts the attention of many passing through our toun, in fact,

operation and apple orchard.Lloyd and Vera had two daughters, Lori and Nola.His daughters remember the strength in their father\u2019s large hands when he repaired machinery and the gentleness in them when he took their hands into his on a walk to bring cows home for milking or on a trek to look for the wild garlic he loved and which grew in the bush at the back of the farm.He was very much a family man and holidays were special times to him.He enjoyed the Christmas season especially, shopping for gifts with Vera and helping to wrap them afterwards.Eventually, this tradition came to include two sons-in-law, Bob Carroll (Lori) and Bob Vainco (Nola), then his beloved grandchilardi Allyson, Mitchell, Daniel, Elaine, Jennifer and Victoria.Lloyd appreciated music and leamed to play the guitar by ear.He liked to sing and lent his voice to the Wesley Knox United Church choir.His community was something else Lloyd cared for and he demonstrated that aspect by serving as a municipal council lor for Havelock for 10 years.Lloyd and Vera continued to live on the property until January 1999 when the farm was sold and they moved into a smaller home in the village of Howick.Lloyd will

Chantigny water problem.trom page 1 The June 27 vote precedes by only three days the June 30 cut-off date for fusion bonuses, and if the municipal amalgamation process has not begun by next September 15, there is the chance that the grant will be withdrawn by the Municipal Affairs ministry In addition.it is possible for the Environment ministry to order the water and sewer system constructed, grant or no grant.Along with the grant, the municipality will pay a maximum of S63,000 (or seven per cent of the total) and the balance will be collected from project residents in the form of a special tax over the next 20 years.If the grant is forfeited, the municipality.and also the property-owners concerned, will face a much higher bill.Resident Jean-Pierre Brunet says he and his neighbors simply don\u2019t understand the opposition to fusion, given that in his view, there is nothing to lose, and much to gain, in the shape of higher property evaluations in the development and tax compensation for the water and sewer service.\u201cThe municipality should be able to obtain significant benefits,\u201d he said.Troubled history The development was begun in the carly 1970s by Alcide Chantigny , who set up a makeshift water system to supply his subdivision.He had three artesian wells dug and installed pumps to service existing and future homes.This work was done without plans or a permit from the Environment ministry.Although Chantigny lost his rights to one of the wells, he continued to sell lots, and as more houses were built, the water supply became ever more inadequate.The next owner, Robert McDermott, inherited the property but didn't do anything about the water situation.In 1993, he sold the development to Jean-Pierre Berthiaume, who became prey to financial problems and declared bankruptcy in the fall of 1998, leaving behind unpaid bills and the ongoing water problems.When Hydro-Quebec threatened to cut off electricity to the pumps, the municipality stepped in to help out, paying back bills of over $1,000 to the utility.The Environment ministry meanwhile sent notices of infraction to the previous owners, given that the original work had been done without government approval or permits.Ministry spokesperson Régine Leblanc explained that the owners were also responsible for sampling and testing the water for contaminants.ICEBERG
