forecasted as gloom-and- doom hasn\u2019t materialized, she said.Julien spoke of protecting farmers\u2019 interests and working to assure Canadian agricultural sovereignty.She said she has been close tothe farmers overthe past years, and that she would look out for the dairy industry.No clear winner Who won the debate?No one, according to a random survey of audience members.One Chateauguay Valley Syndicate farmer said that he came expecting to hear an experienced debater, a novice and a fanatic.A St-Louis Syndicate observer was hoping the debate would help him decide which party to vote for.It didn\u2019t.He left at least sure of at least one thing \u2014 a vote for the Bloc would mean \u201ctrouble enmasse\u201d (lots of trouble).The Liberal candidate was most impressive speaker as she responded more directly to questions, he observed.If audience applause following each candidate\u2019s closing remarks was any gauge of hisorher performance, the Bloc received a polite smattering, the Liberal and Conservative candidates each received a warm response, One Ste-Martine farmer questioned if the regional railway lines are being shut down, what would happen to the roadways if 375,000 tons of corn were being transported over them for the proposed ethanol plant?Anotherquestionasked about funding to agricultural research in Quebec.In his conclusion, Lavigne reiterated his theme that

CHATEAUGUAY GENERAL MANAGER: JOCELYN RANGER EDITORIAL STAFF: JUDITH TAYLOR, VALERIE FURCALL, CYRIL ALARY le réseau Editorial A FRESH APPROACH This week\u2019s paper contains a story which could be the beginning of greater things.A group of Howick residents have put their heads together in an effort to make life better for themselves and their neighbors.First they discussed ideas, then they went in search of feedback, and then they found people who would implement their ideas at the municipal level, if they get elected.This seems to us an eminently logical approach.Rather than waiting, often until it is too late, to make individual citizens\u2019 views known on individual issues, the Howick Citizens\u2019 Association offers an ongoing forum for ideas, projects, or, if necessary, protests to be channelled to the Village council.And from that body, the way should be open to get some wider action if necessary at regional, provincial, or even national levels, on issues which pertain to those larger arenas of government.The grassroots approach is truly democracy in action.It does not happen in a vacuum.There have to be strong feelings about something for significant numbers of people to get together in search of change.Just now, across the Valley, across the province, across the nation, there would seem to be no lack of strong feelings on all kinds of issues, and these feelings could conceivably result in other people getting together in other places to discuss and take action on things that they care about.Howick Village is a small place, with about 660 residents.This makes it both easier and harder to launch such a movement: easier, because the democratic process functions best in relatively small groups; and harder, because everyone knows and has to co-exist with everyone else, regardless of his or her views.There is no room for rhetoric, backbiting, or personal criticism in a tiny community where you wish to spend the rest of your life.All you can do is look forward in hopes of making things better, without getting too picky about \u201cbetter than what?\u201d.More power to the Howick group for skirting the quagmire of negativism and keeping their outlook fixed firmly on a better future.(J.T) GLEANER ARCHIVES.125 years ago ! ***> October 16, 1868 i The weather continues fine, though chilly.Farmers have been busily engaged in raising their potatoes,

threatens the country with, have formed but another incentive to those who contemplated leaving.If our Ministers would give up their ambitions and extravagant ideas of enlarging our already too vast extent of territory, and of building useless railways and fortifications, and honestly apply themselves to the task of retrenchment, there would be more people coming into the country and fewer

Ontario where Canada geese stop in their flight to the Gulf of Mexico.The trees are changing color.It is idyllic.But all I can see this autumn is a dark set of political and economic changes being locked down onto the land.The geese will return with spring.But our democracy, our control of our economy, our right to be a self- governing nation may be difficult to get back.I am talking about NAFTA.I is not just a commercial treaty.It is a new constitution for the continent, designed to disempower our governments.For example, Canadians have - long prided ourselves on our superb medical system.Per capita, Canadians spend half of what Americans spend on medical services, and everyone on Canada has full and'equal access to ~~\" \" treatment.But now as recession and rising costs threaten our\u201d medical system, NAFTA requires that drug companies be given extended patent rights, costing us an extra $1 billion in medical costs.Under NAFTA, future Canadian governments have no power to undo this.It\u2019s permanent.Another example: Article 1213 and Annex 1210 direct the NAFTA trade commission to set common professional license standards for Canada, the US, and architects, etc.is provincial and state jurisdiction.How can a trade treaty change that?Another example, comes from the 1988 Free Trade Agreement, but is strengthened in NAFTA.When there is a trade dispute between Canada and the US, it is referred to a tribunal for a decision.The tribunal decides, not whether one side is acting unfairly, not whether one side has violated the treaty, but whether US trade laws are being applied correctly.The US Constitution ei pont est defines the courts that will adjudicate US laws.But a trade treaty changes that.Permanently.It makes me heartsick the way NAFTA is

citizens.These include ongoing problems with the village water supply, lack of new construction and near-zero population growth.Co-directors of the citizens\u2019 association are Miller, Louise Cholette, Ernest Peers, and Alexandre Stefanescu.Three meetings \u2018during September drew from 25 to 50 people each, to form the group, set out rules, and elect an executive.To findoutcitizens\u2019 needs and concerns, the group handed out about 25 questionnaires and, based on responses, came up with the following priorities for their community: 1)Tocreate interest and involve Howick citizens in all aspects of community life; 2) To stimulate harmonious development (residential, commercial, and industrial) to aid and maintain quality of life in town; 3) To promote a a fun day for

these come from one remarkable family.BrianWoods, currently in Secondary V, this summer became the sixth- best Junior Decathlon athlete in Canada, a category in which he was competing with people generally two years older, since he is technically still a juvenile.He placed second in Canada in pole vault.Well known locally for his skill in basketball, and easily recognized on the football field as the tallest memberof the team, Brian has received a scholarship offer from Manhattan Universitv.Older sister Kara (C.V.R.\u201890) was scouted by several American universities and chose Norwich in Vermont, on of the few places offering a degree program in her chosen field of Environmental Engineering.Her scholarship is funding 80 per cent of her three-year stay.Younger sister Megan had a busy summer competing in the Junior National Championships sponsored by Sun Youth, and attending Blue Star Campinthe U.S.A.where scouts from colleges all over the states come to pick prospects.Since retuming home, Megan, who is in Grade 9, has received scholarship offers from 15-20 universities, including U.C.L.A., Stanford, and Rutgers.* Visitors to C.V.R,, during any lunch\u2018 \u2018hour (which is actually only an indigestion-inducing 50 minutes) can find a buzz of activity in the gymnasium where all students are welcome to put in some informal recreational time.As well, the Intramurals program encourages participation in organized sports, and currently has on the go Sour girls\u2019 and four boys\u2019 soccer teams and a senior boys\u2019 basketball team.Soon to get started will be girls\u2019 basketball and boys\u2019 two-hand touch football.* The annual sale of citrus fruit began last Friday.Proceeds from this drive are the backbone of funding for field trips,

ducked away from encountering senior team-mates who could command them to drop to the floor for pushups and general grovelling.The weather having perversely conspired by providing torrential downpours all morning, the rookies were made to provide noontime entertainment by rolling in puddles.Naturally they couldn\u2019t go back to class covered in mud, so they had to take showers- in uniform.A word might be said here about the infinite patience of the school\u2019s maintenance staff.* Field hockey rookies girls had to undergo an initiation day similar to that of their football friends.But since their uniforms are cute tartan skirts they probably had an easier time fitting behind their desks.An excellent season has been capped by the Juvenile team, winning the Provincial trophy.* Appearing on
