to firemen and mayors from St-Chrysostome, Ste-Martine, St-Urbain, Sherrington and St-Michel recently, as four visiting schoolchildren pointed out fire hazards and watched fascinated as sound effects and drifting smoke simulated the consequences of carelessness for the doll house and its inhabitants.Firemen from St-Chrysostome first saw the simulator in action last year at an exhibition in Laval

neighboring communities were contacted and local MNA André Chenail kicked in $3,000 toward the purchase price.Once the equipment was bought from Montreal's Moldatech company, Ste- Martine

Canadian Foodgrains Bank, a Christian hunger-relief program, was started 12 years ago by the Mennonite community in the Canadian West.When farmers had a grain glut they exported $6 million worth of grain as direct aid.How the program works was explained by Dean Williams, special guest of Aubrey-Riverfield WI at its November meeting at the home of Jean Furcall.Through a combination of donations of grain, land for its production, harvesting and money donations, 93.5 cents of every dollar value goes directly to the area of drought or famine.CIDA (Canadian International Development Association) matches all donations at a ratio of 4:1.In 1998 there were 179 growing projects in Canada.Every province except Quebec has a co-ordinator.Nevertheless, in 1999 Howick has a \u201cGrowing Project\u201d.The proceeds to date from this project, used to feed and clothe needy people, will be $11,790.40.With 1/4 of the world's population having less than $1 a day, there is a great need.By working with the churches, Dean is looking to expand the program in the Chateauguay Valley.\u2014 J.Furcalllvf A greenbous Featured will be a display of antique Christmas decorations and toys SUNDAY,

as the new millennium approaches and the need for peace in the world grows more urgent.The struggle and sacrifices of the veterans take on added importance as we face an uncertain future.Remembrance Day observations were widespread in the Howick area.The Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 123, Howick, held a meaningful Armistice Day ceremony on November 14, at Howick Elementary School.Sergeant-at-Arms Derek Humby led the Color Party, Legion members, Guides and Scouts into the gymnasium where members of the community had gathered to honor the veterans.The service was conducted by Jim Miller with

schoolhouse, was completed at Howick High School.He was \u201csmart as a whip\u201d at school and was enthusiastic about sports \u2014 running, hockey and curling.Growing up he was a keen member of Howick Calf Club, showing Ayrshire calves at the local fairs, also representing his club at Sherbrooke where he won a silver cup for judging Ayrshires.Alan\u2019s parents were talented musicians, so

About 30 members of the Covey Hill Amateur Club and nine municipal representatives from Hemmingford and Ormstown gathered at the Hemmingford Fire Hall to be briefed on the day's simulated disasters and the rdle of radio communications.In Ormstown, Madeleine Himbeault- Greig and councillor Ken Dolphin had developed the scenario of a tire-dump fire with consequent problems at the Town Well site and the need to evacuate the area.Jean Dumont, Town Foreman, would be assigned to the well site.At the first site, Daniel Daoust would function as field coordinator for the Control Centre.The Control Center, co-ordinated by mayor Himbeault-Greig, was located in the Ormstown Fire Hall.Councillor Dolphin and Stephane Billette took charge of traffic control at the Landreville corner and Dewittville.Finally, a communication centre at the Barrie Memorial Hospital was staffed by radio amateurs Mirielle Dion and Gordon Thompson.Hemmingford The Hemmingford scenario was developed by municipal councillor Karl Kramell, emergency co-ordinator, in conjunction with Mark Macpherson of the Radio Club.In their scenario a tanker truck would collide with a tour bus full of senior citizens at the intersection of Rte.202 and the Brownlee side road.Telephone and hydro would be interrupted necessitating radio communication.In addition to the injured persons, including a trapped truck driver, noxious fumes would emanate from the tanker, making evacuation of the area necessary.Kramel would establish a control centre in the Hemmingford Fire Hall, while fireman Paul Pass and councillor Bob Bazzana had accident site responsibilities.Municipal Secretary Margaret Hess would be in charge of the evacuation shelter, and ambulance responsibilities were undertaken by radio amateur Jeannie Bickes.Experienced operators The Radio Control Centres were staffed by experienced radio operators: in Ormstown, Jacques Boucher with control operators Gordon Furey, Steven Fuguy and Alexander Vegh.Mark Macpherson took charge in Hemmingford, assisted by operators Jim Hughes and Tom Muehleisen.With radio facilities in place and the radios, the reality of the field experience is that hand-held radios are more likely to be available for use.Another aim of the exercise was to employ direct station-to-station, or \u201csimplex\u201d communication.While hand-held radios function well on low power with the use of a \u201crepeater\u201d station, this \u201cduplex\u201d operation might not be available in the event of an emergency.The local repeater station on Covey Hill receives signals and retransmits them at a higher power over a wider area.Another purpose was to allow munici- pa authorities to experience being in the eld and using radio-assisted communications.At a designated time, they were to open their sealed envelopes and pass the message to their radio operator for transmission.In addition, Field Co-ordinators had blank message forms to initiate their own \u201creal\u201d messages on site.Communication between municipalities via the two Control stations allowed inter- municipal co-operation.After a few \u201csnags\u201d in setting up radio contacts, messages between the Control and the Field Sites proceeded smoothly with a minimum of problems.After all messages had been transmitted, the site radios were closed down and all personnel returned for debriefing at the Ormstown Fire Hall.Conclusions Madeleine Greig-Himbeault said she was impressed with the service and would ask the Club for assistance in case of an emergency.The Ormstown Municipal Council will sign a Memorandum of Agreement with the Covey Hill Amateur Radio Club to provide emergency radio communication services.Karl Kramell mentioned delays in third- party transmissions.The radio operators agreed that this was the best of all the Emergex exercises so far.They particularly enjoyed the \u201cspontaneous\u201d messages which produced a greater sense of reality than the standard scripts.Radio shadow It was discovered that one of the antennas on the Ormstown water tower has a \u201cradio shadow\u201d in which the radio signal is not heard.At the end of the day, all agreed it was a successful exercise.Each side, municipal and radio, learned to respect the obligations and responsibilities of the other.\u2014 B.G.Thompson/vf of radio amateurs were assigned the Municipal Field Co-ordinators, to accompany them and provide communication service.(The Field Coordinators were given sealed envelopes with messages to be communicated.)
