Graham Selkirk as à captivating Caterpillar; Todd Campbell as the Mad hatter; Anna Lepine as the Dormouse; Ingrid Stockbauer as the disappearing Cheshire Cat and Tara Murphy as the blustering Queen of Hearts.Just one eensy.beensy question, gang.Whatever happened tothe March hare?Did he mistake himself for the White Rabbit and fall down a hole somewhere?Or do you wish 1 fell down a hole for raising the issue?No matter.It was still a fine skit.What else was well done?Pretty mucheverythingelse.Pianist Sarah Grant did a competent job with \u201cMusic of the Night\" from \u201cPhantom of the Opera\u2019 even though thoughtless flash bulbs risked ruining her concentration.Tripgs Emily and Chavonne Neal were an enchanting twosome singing \u201cOne Moment in Time\u201d which was barely audible at first but reached a dramatic crescendo down the stretch.Most people got an en- joyablekickoutofthe\u201c\u201cCajun Man\u201d' skit featuring Hadlock and Chisholm.Also going over big was the \u201cgrande finale\u201d\u2019 fashion show depicting a range of styles covering all of CVR\u2019s 25 years of existence.Wendy Brunet and Rebecca McDougall rated ooohs and aaahs for their breath-taking gymnastics exhibition using a chair as a prop.And there is only one appropriate one-word exclamation to accurately describe the precarious but sensational balancing act by Chavonne Neal, Wayne Nussey, Ingrid Pgelsek and Jon Van Home, and that word is \u201cWow!\u201d \u201cWayne's World,\u201d in which Bourgon and Robertson play the wild and crazy characters made famous by Mike Myers and Dana Carvey, explored the top 10 reasons for attending CVR, mostof whichstruck a credible chord.Forexample, \u201cIt offers the chance of coming in the next morning and finding a new \u201c principal!\u201d Or, \u201cit offers the opportunity of going over those CVR speed bumps!\u201d And, \u201citgives you the chance of surviving the sub-arctic conditions of the classrooms!\u201d Contrary to most high school variety shows, there was only one rock band.But guitarist Emerson Creswell and Steve Tobin, drummer Reid Aikin and bass player Matthew Brocklehurst made it memorable, creating good vibes in more ways than one.Dancing played an important part in the show.There was the inspired tapping of Jayne Fairhurst and Taunia Vallée; the hardworking aerobic trio of \u201csweater girls Beth Irving, Sabrina Laframboise and Andrea Sheaves; the 1988- of courses.Music and movement Parents were invited to open classes of dance, music and movement and water color paintings a Project Arts Hemmingford recently finished another session Photo : Florence Ellerton Waiting for spring Phillip Norton THE GLEANER Is it a late spring?That question was posed lo our weather expert, Peter Finlayson, on Monday.a bright, sunny day with a chilly.wintry wind.Although the odds are favoring a late spring, he replied.we don\u2019t have a late spring yet.His guidelines for judging the season include weather apparatus like his evaporation pan and soil thermometers.Traditionally the pan is set our around April 10 and the thermometers are shoved into the ground around April 3 to 5.While the ground was still frozen when he spoke to The Gleaner, Finlayson stated that à warm rain this week would make it possible.Butifthat warmspellholds off another ten days, we could say it is a late spring.It seems that even for a veteran weather-walcher it is getting difficult to determine what is a \u201cnormal\u201d year.Over the past years, sugaring season has begun with a January or February thaw, notes Finlayson.But this year, except for a little syrup being made in Febru- ay, the season is just underway at the beginning of April, \u201cMaybe this is the normal year,\u201d he says, \u201cand the past 15 have been abnormal.\u201d The months of February and March 1992 have been very cold.The average temperature last month at the Ormstownstation was minus 6.4 degrees Celsius, fourand a half degrees below the 20 year average of minus 2.2 Last year, March had an average temperature of minus 04.The coldest Marchaverage was measured in 1984 at minus 6.8.Precipitation was within the normal range for March 1992: 36.2 mm of rain plus 25 cmof snow which melted 10 26.5 mm water for a total of 62.7 mm or 2.47 inches of moisture.Last year the precipitation total was 29.4 mm or 3.3 inches with 15 cm falling in the white form and 55.1 mm of rain.As for the status of the ice on the Châteauguay River, Peter Finlayson is venturing à prediction that it will simply rot out with no flooding problems.While he says that nobody can predict Mother Nature, he adds that those Huntingdon residents had food reason to wam of potential disaster two weeks ago.He cautions that there is still a risk of flooding if we would get one and a half inches of rain suddenly.General observations around Ormstown farm country: moisture and snow banks are already off of the fields and the ground temperature is cold.Peter Finlayson gives us hope that things could change in a hurry if we get a blast of the weather that Saskatchewan has been having in the 70's.On April 7 of last year, the Châteauguay Valley had a high temperature of 24,5 degrees.or about 80 F.91 medley by Bourgon, Robertson, Shawna Casement, Nancy Morrison and Zoe Rankin with a guest appearance by Bob Wood;

fourth-year chemistry (59.7 and 56.5); economics (65.4 and 71.5): second-language French (70.4 and 80.3), and geography (61.3 and 57.0).The Board ascended to the fourth quintile in English (65.8 and 71.7); Quebec and Canadian history (68.0 and 73.7).and fourth-year math (59.1 and 54.3).For your information, the worst showing for fourth- year math was by the Val d'Or School Commission with a 45.0 average and a 22.7 success rate.Hemmingford elementary innovation teaches corporate responsibilities by Florence Ellerton Hemmingford Correspondent A Token Economy System is taking place at the Hemmingford Elementary School this year.Students at Hemmingford Elementary pay to do extracurricular activities.Floor hockey costs $40 à game to play and $20 to watch.Basketball costs $200 to join and $40 per practice.Level six students just paid $2.500 Photo: Phillip Norton.The new Industrial Commissioner ofthe Haut St-Laurent Economic Development Corporation, René Desroches (left) and the EDC's president, Jean-Charles Poirier, met the press and elected officials of the region on Thursday, April 6 at the MRC Building in Huntingdon.to goon aski trip.Of course, the money is not Canadian currency.Itis school money, each student earns shares in their class corporation profits.Each class is treated like a corporation that does a job that helps the whole school: Grade six runs the lunchroom.Grade five is responsible for recycling and making the school more ecologically-conscious.Grade four is producing a The Huntingdon Merchants Association seems to be caught between the bark and the tree concerning the issue to modify a zoning bylaw in Huntingdon.Itis known that a development project is proposed for a section of land located at Dalhousie, Ridge and Frangois-Cleyn.However, some merchants don\u2019t want this sector developed for retail business suchas is found on Châteauguay Street.Faced with this possibility the Association finds itself ina delicate position since it history of the school for a permanent display in the foyer of the main entrance.Grade three decorates the halls and maintains the lost and found.Grade two distributes the milk and picks up the empties.Grade one keeps the school grounds free of litter.If the class corporation does a good job during the week, its profits are good.Teachers then decide how mucheachindividual student is one of the main promoters ofaneconomic development corporation for the region.At last week's special meeting between the promoter, Georges Lavoie, and the Association members at the Town Hall, Association president André Castagnier made an official statement.\u201cThe Association is in favor of economic development.As proof, it was instrumental in getting an economic development corporation stated, Castagnier commented.\u201cAny comments, pro or con.on the Lavoie project implicates only the indi- receives based on her/his effort in class.Students are leaming to take responsibility asa group.They are also learning to solve problems as a group.Insome classes students take tums leading the corporation.Often they must speak to other classes seeking cooperation and enthusiasm.They very quickly learn that getting a large group of people to cooperate is sometimes verv difficult.Majority of H'don merchants favor development project vidual expressing his or her view and does not reflect the Association.\u2019 He estimates the majority of business people are in favor of development.However, a minority, the vocal ones, want to practice protectionism and oppose cx- pansion of the commercial business base.The arrival of new busi- nesstothearca wasdiscussed privately between Associa tion members before the April 1 meeting with the promoter.At this time Castagnier tried to convinee allthe memberstoacceptthe development project. 2 \u2014 THE GLEANER \u2014 APRIL 8, 1992 This and That in Town VALLEY FARMER \u2014 will air a show April 12 at 1:30 p-m.on Channel 8 (Ottawa) about the Rennie Family of Rockbum, syrup operation, showing the gathering to the final product.Keith Rennie was interviewed, as were other members in the family.The Valley Farmer host met them last summer at the CVAS Antique Show and decided to feature a present-day operation slill incorporating some old-time methods along with 1990\u2019s technology.W.1.MILITARY WHIST \u2014 The County card party, which was to have been held March 17, has been scheduled for April 14 at Walshaven.CHATEAUGUAY-HUNTINGDON COUNTY WII.CONVENTION \u2014 is to be held April 24, starting at 10 a.m.at Walshaven.A demonstration of cooking with herbs by Leslie Bonner will be given right after lunch.A CASINO NIGHT \u2014 will be held at Branch 244, Royal Canadian Legion in Hemmingford on Friday, April 10from 8:00 p.m.to midnight.Everyone welcome.(F.E) HEMMINGFORD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL \u2014 is organizing a roast beef dinner to be held April 25 from 5 to 8:30 p.m.Tickets are available through the school.Telephone 247-2022.Please support the students.(F.E.)

on bicycles, steam rises from maple bush shanties, and road crews patch up the holes left after a long winter.Spring is usually a season of economic upturn too.People are going out for recreation and shopping, spending for horne renovations; farms begin spending and hiring and the local dollar stream starts to thaw out.There are signs of summer, too.High school and college students are looking ahead to the end of classes and trying to land a job for the summer.Their hopeful inquiries and applications, are already showing up on employer's desks.While optimists would advise them that the job market and the economy in general are getting better, the reality is that only a limited number of job slots exist for those without professional work experience.So, if you're in school and dreaming of a career, consider doing it on your own.Canada's Federal Business Development Bank has a special loan program for budding entrepreneurs.Successful projects from past years range from fence painting and lawn mowing services to theatrical groups and tour guiding operations.Interest-free loans up to $3,000 are available.Applications are available at the Canada Employment Centre.P.N.125 years ago (From the Canadian Gleaner of Friday, April 6, 1866) Our Country Roads It is true that in almost innumerable cases the first fault in the road is in its location and the next in its first construction, entailing upon all succeeding generations an onerous lax for repairs.and the loss of time and injury to teams and vehicles in travelling.\u2026 There is probably nothing in America of public interest so much neglected and ill-managed as the public roads.In England, scientific men are employed as road surveyors, engineers, or managers.\u2026 What portion of those who manage the repairs of roads know anything whatever of the science of road making?Elgin Council \u2026 We consider that James Neilson is not entitled to any payment for the loss of his horse by falling over the (illegible) Bridge, as that accident does not appear to have happened through any deficiency in said bridge.April has brought spring in earnest: we having been in the enjoyment of fine, genial weather for the past four days.The frost, owing to the lack of snow during the early part of winter, is unusually deep in the ground so that it will be some time before the plough can be started.100 years ago (From the Canadian Gleaner of April 7, 1892) Alleged cares for drunkenness \u2026 Anobviously weak point in Keeley's treatment, is his insisting that drunkenness is a purely physical disorder and to be cured solely by physical means.Drunkenness is a disease induced by sin.for if there was not first a depraved disposition there would be no drunkards.To allege against this, that the thirst for drink is over powering and mastering beyond belief.is what can be said of any other passion to which man gives rein.Ormstown A severe thunder siorm passed to the south, accompanied with slight nail and high wind.Franklin Centre The rapidity with which spring has apparently burst upon us is a matter of surprise to everyone, but there is not an over amount of confidence in the continuation of such balmy weather as we have favoured with during the last ten days.On Sunday even field was a river, as the hanks of melting snow rushed down with impetuous fury from the hills.St-Anicet The lake was crossed by men afoot.A one-horse rig with a load crossed the lake rose about 16 inches and the ice, whichwas poor, being mostly snow ice, began to break up und is now pussing down.50 years ago (From

signed between the Mohawk Band Council of Kahnawake and the federal government through the auspices of the Indian Affairs Ministry.The entente was signed in the presence of Kahnawake Grand Chief Joe Norton and Indian Affairs Minister of State Monique Landry.The agreement is only the beginning of negotiations towards establishing a new rapport between Canadaand the Mohawk community of Kahnawake.These negotiations are expected to take place during the next two years.The different aspects touched by the negotiations include administration of justice; the managing and settling of land: financial questions; the environment; social services; commerce, health, education and cultural affairs.As far as Canada is con- cemed, Landry looks upon the agreement as a federal goverment opening towards broaching the issue of autonomy for the Kahnawake Mohawks.It appears that the Mohawks want to re-estab- lish the principles and structures of the Great Law of the Six-Nations [roquois.Thisis why.inthe meantime, they want to modify their relationship with Canadivand in this manner obtain 1ec- ognition of their authority 1m several areas.Grand Chief Norton be- lievesthatthese new rapports will reflect the principles of mutual respect, co-existence of cultures, peace and friendship between Kahnawake and Canada.National Indian leader Ovide Mercredi paid Kahnawake a visit last Friday and said that very little has been done since the [990 Mohawk Crisis to satisfy the jong-standing Mohawk demands.Mercredi pointed out that the Tand promised to the Mohawks of Kanesatake near Oka has not yet been ceded and that the presence of the RCMP and S.Q.ha snot yet subsided interritory surrounding the Kahnawake reserve.Accordingto Mercredi.the governments could do more to assure afairagreement for all parties.But he said he was happy to see efforts made to ensure some economic development in Kahnawake, particularly in regard to the creation of business enterprises for young Mohawks.Dundee W.I.\u2018The March meeting of the Dundee W.1.was held at the home of Wendy Vallée with 11 members present.\u2018The Salvation Army pick- upis scheduled for April
