River Edge Farm (Rosemary & John Mason); Suntor Farm (Ruth & Fred Sundborg); Wattcrest Farm (Joyce & Lowell Watt); Bryhill Farm (Lynn & Bill Bryson); Roanoak Farm (Monica & Mike Duncan); Brysonwood Farm (Debbie & Keith Bryson); Homestead Lodge Farm (Carolyn & Butch Cameron); Ravenwood Farm (Mary & David Greig); Lashburn Farm (Judy & Alex McCaig); the farm of Sharon & Ken Rember; Caverhill Farm (Ruth & Garth Cavers); Terrace Bank Farm (Cecile & Larry Ness); St-Anicet supports idea of ethanol plant for M.R.C.St-Anicet municipal council is supporting farm producers who favor setting up an ethanol plant in this region to process the surplus of locally-grown com.At its February 6 meeting, the council unanimously passed a resolution calling for such a plant to be built, conforming to provincial environmental norms.The preamble to the resolution mentions that there are 83 farmers within the MRC du Haut-St-Lau- rent who produce over 300 metric tonnes of com each year, with a total of 80,000 tonnes marketed annually.The resolution cites the lack of nearby market outlets, and high transportation costs which in turn raise the overall cost of production.The municipality believes that farmers are aware of the need for soil-conservation measures in com cultivation, and states that the byproduct of the ethanol-producing process may be used as a cost-effi- cient animal fodder.In view of all these factors, St-Anicet has decided to favor the project.Bicycle tour With the annual Un Vélo, une pomme bicycle tour slated to pass through St-Anicet next fall, the council has begun to take necessary See ETHANOL page 2 Banner day The 30th anniversary of the Canadian Maple Leaf Flag was marked in Huntingdon when mayor Gerald Brisebois and Legion members visited the Craft and Rec Centre Wednesday afternoon Feb.15.Show, left to right, are: Stan Harman, Dan Galipeau, Gerald Brisebois, Legion president Jim MacMillan, William Wardlaw, and Jean Brannan.(Photo: V.F.) the farm of Gloria & Jack Peddie; Templedale Farm (Marina & Scott Templeton); Tolhurst Farm (Sandy & Andy Tolhurst, Amy & Ken Tolhurst, Janet & Brent Tolhurst); Wilkess Farm (Kathy & Juergen Kalweit); and the farm of Lynn &.Glen Moore are warmly thanked for their hospitality, encouragement and support.On some of the farms, the girls helped to feed the cows, water calves, watched a cow being milked and got to pet many curious bovines.They learned about how cows produced milk, how the milk got from the cow into a tank where it was kept cool until it was shipped to Montreal by a special milk truck, why they chew a cud and about gestation.They wanted to touch every aspect of the cow if it were possible and had a thousand questions to ask.At the end of each tour, the girls were given yogurt to enjoy, compliments of the U.P.A.Chateauguay Valley Syndicate.The Syndicate donated $500 to encourage the commendable effort the Guiding movement was putting into making future consumers aware of one of \u2018our most precious resources, the family farm.See GUIDES page 3 Blue boxes optional in Ormstown The contractor picking up recyclables in the Ormstown area each Monday will accept non-paper products in a special blue plastic crate, as well as in the special blue- plastic bags previously specified.This was the word this week from the Ormstown Recycling Group.The \u201cblue boxes\u201d are available at the Valleyfield Canadian Tire store, among other locations, said Doreen Gruer.The boxes may be re-used each week, as opposed to the bags, which cannot themselves be recycled yet in Quebec she said.Gruer stressed that paper for recycling must still be placed in paper bags, which may be left out on top of the box, or alongside the plastic bags.\u201cBlue bags or blue boxes - residents now have the choice,\u201d she said.The Recycling Group met Tuesday Feb.21 to continue discussion on setting up a composting demonstration site for the community.See RECYCLE page 3 M.R.C.rules against by-law The MRC du-Haut-St-Laurent has said that Franklin\u2019s bylaw restricting piggeries contravenes its regional land management plan.The amended zoning bylaw Franklin adopted September 6, limiting the size of piggeries to one 650 square-meter structure per pro- perty-owner, does not conform to the MRC's Schéma d\u2019aménagement, and is therefore void and may not be imposed, MRC urban planner Celine Lebel explained.The nonconformity verdict was announced at the February 15 MRC Council of Mayors\u2019 meeting.This measure, proposed and adopted by Franklin council last fall, was a compromise proposal after anti-piggery residents protested that large-scale piggery projects could be built throughout the municipality.According to the regional land use and development plan, piggeries are acceptable, providing the operator receives the Quebec Environment Ministry\u2019s blessing.The schéma recognizes the ministry's norms as \u201csufficient to assure the protection of the environment,\u201d Lebel said.As well, the Quebec Agriculture Ministry told the MRC that a pig barn restricted to 650 square meters would make it impossible for a farmer to make a profitable living.Franklin\u2019s amended zoning by- Lone Québanglo speaks at Valleyfield hearing Rockburn\u2019s Scott Disher was the lone representative of Valley anglophones to appear February 14 before the Montérégie\u2019s Commission on Quebec\u2019s Future in Val- leyfield, though St.Joseph Parish priest Father Gabriel Clement and Jean Beauchamp of the Huntingdon School Commission also presented briefs.Scott Disher of Rockburn appeared before the Valleyfield session of the regional commission on Quebec's future, (Photo: C.A.) Area residents who were present during the 18 presentations and an open forum heard à range of messages.Most speakers upheld the PQ\u2019s government's objective of Quebec separation, though others were more concerned about societal needs - especially those of the poor - than about touting political sovereignty.The meeting, which lasted from 1:30 to 9:30 p.m.ended with an hour-long open forum and discussion.Disappointed that Alliance- Québec (which he helped found in 1982) boycotted the hearings, as did the main federalist parties, Disher, a self-described \u2018Québanglo\u2019, told the commission that the Sovereignty Bill fails to meet the burden of proof.He called the draft \u2019politically premature, embarrassingly incomplete, logically inconsistent and hilariously incompetent.\u201cEssentially, this document asks all Quebecers to agree to surrender their economic and political security.for an entirely unexplained political and economic entity.\u201d he said in his 15-page brief.See HEARING page 2 PSBCV enrolment rising; new public school needed Reflecting an upward trend in enrolment which is expected to continue, the Protestant School Board of Chateauguay Valley is asking the Education Ministry for a new elementary school for Chateauguay.This request has been sent to the regional office of the ministry, which has greeted it \u201cmore enthusiastically\u201d than it did last year when the subject came up for the first time, PSBCV head Keith Fitzpatrick told The Gleaner following the February 13 school board meeting.The board currently operates two elementary schools in Chateauguay (as well as six in this area) but a number of years ago, there were four such schools.Two of them, Robert A.Jobber and Julius Richardson, were closed down and their facilities transferred to the local Catholic School Commission.But now the PSBCV anticipates a shortfall of some 300 elementary school places in Chateauguay by the fall of 1997.The board owns two lots in Chateauguay, but no decision has yet been made on which would be more suitable for a new school.The request will be evaluated by the See SCHOOL page 3 limiting Franklin piggeries law also goes against the schéma's orientation of promoting and protecting agriculture within the MRC, Ideally, municipalities wanting to make legislative changes involving zoning should consult with the MRC before adopting resolutions.While Franklin may ban piggeries in some zones, it can\u2019t restrict them in the whole municipality, Lebel added.Matter pursued A conflict-of-interest allegation involving Franklin mayor Jean Laplante and the [presently withdrawn] piggery promotion has not yet been settled, a municipal source told The Gleaner.At the February 6 regular council meeting, councillor Gilles MacKenzie defended mayor Laplante when councillor Christian Descossy questioned a $200 difference in expense- receipts submitted by Laplante from a recent UMRCQ conference.See FRANKLIN page 2 Inside: 2 This 'n' that.Page 2 Letters.Page 4 - Sports news .Page 5.Births, deaths.Page 4 Classified ads.Page 6 QFA Day set for Saturday at Ormstown As one farmer put it, book-keep- ing is like cutting one\u2019s toe nails - nobody really wants to do it even though it does have to be done every once in a while.Once down to the task, however, book-keeping like toenail trimming, doesn\u2019t hurt that much, and feels a lot better when it\u2019s done.But that\u2019s where the similarities end, because there\u2019s a whole lot more that can be done with farm financial records than just sweeping up the clippings.Good book-keep- ing provides good information, and good information makes for better management decisions.Making the numbers work is the theme for the Chateauguay Valley Farm Financial Management Day to be held at CVR on Saturday Feb.25.Organized by the Quebec Farmer\u2019s Association and the regional MAPAQ office, the day is part of a province-wide program sponsored by GEAGRI, a Quebec farm management advisory group, and Agriculture Canada.There's never a lack of financial information on a farm; but how it\u2019s organized and used can make a big difference.Good book-keeping allows for GST and PST refunds to be See QFA DAY page 3 H'ford ambulance service cited by CRSSS The Hemmingford Ambulance Service was recently honored with the 1995 Prix d\u2019exceilence, given by the Régie régionale de la santé et des services sociaux de la Montérégie.The top award for volunteer work and community service went to the local organization which is in fact, the only volunteer ambulance service in Quebec.Its 11 members, on call 24 hours a day, provide emergency medical service, responding to an average of 200 calls per year with one of the best response times in Quebec.The Hemmingford Chamber of Commerce had nominated the ambulance service for the award, and representatives from several local organizations attended the St- Jean ceremonies on January 19.They included Mrs.Claire Cour- noyer of the Chamber of Commerce; Hemmingford Township mayor Donald Hadley, and Township councillor Clarence Bourdon.See AWARD page 2 Three representatives of Hemmingford\u2019s Volunteer Ambulance Service were in St-Jean recently to pick up a special award from the Montérégie Regional Health and Social Services board.Shown, left to right, are: Jean-Marc Breton of the RRSSSM;

readers may not be aware of the range of services available at the Haut- St-Laurent Centre in Valleyfield, which is under the jurisdiction of the Quebec Health Care Program, Actually, there are three such centres in this area: Valleyfield (18 rue Fabrique); Coteau-du-Lac (341 Chemin du Fleuve); and Ormstown (65 Hector St).All have facilities to care permanently for persons with complete loss of autonomy, who require constant care.However, the Val- leyfield centre is the only one offering an intensive physiotherapy program for patients after orthopedic surgery; stroke victims; people with severe arthritis, etc., who require a period of physiotherapy and rehabilitation before going home or into a senior\u2019s home, following surgery.It is called R.F.L.or the Rehabilitation, Functional and Intensive Program, and can take up to three months for anyone aged 18 or over.A family or CLSC doctor, must request admission for the patient.A special committee, consisting of resident doctor Marcel Dumaine; physiotherapist Jose L'Ecuyer; ocupational therapist Sylvie Lalande and head nurse Isabelle Legault, analyses each case and advise the patients.Unfortunately there are only 10 beds available for patients requiring intensive physiotherapy following operations or conva- Recycle.from page 1 Meanwhile, some tips have been offered on dealing with certain products: Batteries: All acia

offers a $5 reduction when you buy a new battery and leave your old one, which is then sent to be recycled.At present, small batteries such as those in flashlights, toys, etc.cannot be

also a large recreation room available for patients who wish to participate in bingo, sandbags, and other activities organized by staff and volunteers.During the Christmas season, there were parties and suppers to which relatives of the patients were also invited (for a small fee).Santa paid a visit, and Christmas songs were enjoyed, thanks to certain local organizations.There is also a Chapel where Masses are celebrated by Fr.Yves Abran.\u2018 The large dining room allows patients to converse with each other while enjoying meals individually planned by the dietician.Physiotherapy is

So help us to help you.-S.Q., Huntingdon and Ste-Martine .EXTENDED HOURS WILL BE OFF Raymonde Dompierre, Agent; Monique Deme, Counsellor, Carol Ricard, Counsellor, Clai.= Dionne, Assistant Manager, Sylvie Leboeuf, Agent Clean Sweep around the Valley How many of you out there would be able to handle the pressure of playing against the current World Champion?Linda (Ellerton) Kyle, second, and Catherine Derrick, third, could quite possible find out what that\u2019s like These two Lacolle curlers have teamed up with Boucherville curlers, Guylaine Crispo, skip, and Caroline Boily, lead, to enter the Scott Tournament of Hearts in Calgary.The ladies left last week to begin 11 games, leading to the finals.Tears from every province and the Yukon are represented.Should the ladies be fortunate enough to reach the finals, they would play against current world champion Sandra Peterson.We will be cheering for their success, aware that just getting to this national level of play is a great success of its own!\u2019 \u201cCurl Naked!\u201d or \u201cLet\u2019s Sweep Together\u201d are two slogans seen last week on a new line of curling sportswear put out by the ProCurler company.There is a new Canadian Curling rule book out for this season, until July \u201896.In it a few rules have changed.Let\u2019s see how up «o date you Once a curler states \u2018hat he or she will be using a brush or syn- thetic-style broom for a gams, he or she must stay with that broom throughout the entire game.Is that true or false?If your team touches one of your own running stones while sweeping, what action may the opposing team do?Wes Ruddock of RRSP | DESJARDINS Ormstown is looking for a good \u201cCaddy\u201d to help out if he should decide to attend the Spuds and Suds bon- spiel in Prince Edward Island, a combined curling and gold tournament.Any volunteers?The Valleyfield ladies team will be representing our Valley in the Filly at Hudson this weekend.The Huntingdon ladies\u2019 team will be trying for the Hamilton Shield, during the same event.Here are the ans- \u2018wers to the rule questions.As I said, some have been changed! The first one is false now: Ruie i8 says they may change.On the second question, the other team may choose to put the rock where it would have ended up, and place all affected rocks where they may have ended up as well.Or they may choose to just take off the burnt stene.This is the new Rule 10.Please note that the Chateauguay Valley Historical Society is planning a get-togeth- er at the Howick Curling club, Sunday Mar.5, from 2 to 4 p.m.The subject presented will be the history of Curling.I'm sure they'll point out a \u2018few other rule changes through the years, such as that preventing the practice of placing your opponents\u2019 \u201ciron\u201d (curling stone) near the wood- stove prior to play.The warm irons went about three feet and stopped dead!
