Farmland Zoning Commission is taking a long hard look at a plan to set up a water-bot- tling plant on the site of the former Doréa Institute in Franklin.Before the Aquaterra Corporation\u2019s $401,000 offer to purchase the property can be sent on for approval by Quebec\u2019s Health and Social Services ministry, the commission must sanction a zoning change which has already been urged by the municipality and by the MRC du Haut-St-Laurent, both of which support the project .The change would authorize setting up a commercial operation within an agricultural zone.Water table safe At

has dropped out for the time being, at least.Franklin councillors unanimously decided at their October 7 meeting not to renew a five-year Arena contract, \u201cthough this decision could be reversed following a meeting with Arena directors,\u201d the resolution says.Flip-flop at MRC This decision stands in spite of the position of Jean Laplante, then mayor of Franklin, who at the October 9 MRC meeting tried to reverse his council\u2019s position and stay on with the Arena board.Arena members in the Haut-St- Laurent MRC are Dundee, Elgin, Godmanchester, Hinchinbrooke, Huntingdon, Ormstown, St- Malachie, St-Anicet and Ste-Barbe, along with St-Stanislas of the Beauhamois-Salaberry MRC.Since then, Franklin acclaimed a new mayor, Georges Daigle, who says that the new council will reconsider membership before finalizing its position.Members\u2019 commitments About 50 Franklin residents will use Arena facilities for minor hockey, figure-skating and adult hockey leagues in 1996-97.They represent about seven percent of total enrollment, of about 750 people.Member municipalities $1.90 per capita.Franklin's cost-share for administration and general operating costs for 1997 is $3,433.The plan called for the 11 members together to pay a total of $35,873, only 14 per cent of the Arena\u2019s global budget.For example, Dundee\u2019s share is $750.50, while Huntingdon\u2019s is

presented its \u201cpre-feasibil- ity study\u201d on building a two-way fish ladder allowing fish to by-pass the Dunn dam on the Chateauguay River.Presented at the October 17 SCABRIC Forum on the Chateau- guay River watershed, the $8,000 study is designed to be the first step toward building the Ste-Martine structure at a point in the river which was once known as the \u201cDomain of salmon-fishing\u201d.Project director Yves Messier of the Balbuzards Club told delegates at the Forum that the present location of the dam marks the site of a grist mill built in 1823.Later a sawmill was built on the same spot.In 1845, historian M.Bergevin said the dam was only three feet high, but when a 250 kW hydroelectric generator was installed in 1906, the height of the dam was raised to 15 feet.Two-way traffic Now, the Club would like to see two-way traffic reinstated for native fish wishing to travel upstream to spawn or downstream to expand their range.\u201cNow, fish living upstream of Ste-Martine are effectively trapped between the Huntingdon and Dunn dams, and other fish trying to swim upstream to spawn can\u2019t get any farther than the Dunn dam,\u201d the report reads in

tell of a wintry 25-mile journey by horse-drawn vehicle from Pointe Claire to Ormstown, across the 10-mile expanse of frozen Lake St.Louis and the 15 mile cross- country trek from Beauharnois.In 1855, three years after completion at an approximate cost of $3,650., the Bishop returned to consecrate and dedicate the debt free church.Now, in 1996, this lovely stone church is a real landmark but the

and even recent polls purporting to show a drop in support for sovereignty are not heiping much.Polls have only too often proven to be the stuff that dreams are made of.And dreams are not something we have much time for just now.The day-to-day reality of massive unemployment and economic uncertainty is quite enough.Hallowe\u2019en is the season for creep-crawlies, screams in the dark, delicious thrills of simulated horror.Remembering the \u201cNever- endum\u201d is no fun at all;

We could then compete with such picturesque towns as Westport, Ont, North Hatley in the Townships, or even St-Saveur in thé Laurentians.The MRC-du-Haut St-Laurent has such attractive features needing promotion; dirty municipal streets, unattractive store fronts, ugly laden Hydro poles planted in roadways, beer bottles and other garbage littering roadsides, and a proliferation of \u201cFor Sale\u201d signs showing confidence in the area.This new tax-paid job could promote our cracked roads together with their unusable bridges.The tourism agent could also encourage new clients for our industrial motel sites less than an hour away from the tax-free trade zone of Plattsburgh or even Comwall.We are soon going to have a brand new bicycle trail that cannot be policed or paid for, another attraction.Michael PJ.Crossling Hinchinbrooke Some plants capable of transmitting harmful elements to are other, less resistant vegetation, leading to disease, spread of insect populations, and/or death to the target plant.Many of these plants have been incorrectly labelled as weeds.Nearly all are invasive, whether they are host plants or harmful weeds.Foreign imports, by accident or design, can bring in contaminants against which native plants have no defense.Biological controls sometimes backfire, causing unforeseen results: often the control is more dangerous than the infestation.When DDT was used as a herbicide and pesticide to eliminate undesirable vegetation and bugs, both bugs and plants developed an immunity to it, while the toxic aftermath was devastating to both humans and the environment.Elimination of weeds is unrealistic, but practicing tighter control over propaga- ton and spread through educated awareness could be productive.Recognition In some cases, recognition is easy.The dandelion, for instance, needs no description.This plants hosts spittlebugs and aphids.It will not die if its rosette of leaves are cut, and is capable of new growth from its long taproot.Lamb\u2019s Quarters, (Chenopodium album), flowering from June onward, hosts the Beet- Leaf Hopper, Corn- Root Aphid, Bean Aphid, Harlequin Cabbage Bug, Black Blister Beetle, Carrot Beetle, and Spinach Mildew, which also attacks swiss chard.Grasses are not immune; annual blue grass hosts the cutworm.Sheep Sorrel, (Rumex acetosella), indicates that the soil in which it is growing is acid and low in nitrates.Applying lime and nitrogen can help to control it.Weed reduction involves various controls: mulching, laying landscape fabric, edging around beds to prevent creeping weed- roots from travelling, and, above all, familiarity with the appearances of the undesirables.Spring bulbs Now is the time to purchase and plant spring-flowering bulbs.Pay attention to directions for planting, as correct planting depth helps to guarantee successful flowering.Garden clean-up and tree planting are also on the agenda.Trees planted in the fall have a greater chance of survival, especially conifers.Roots of trees and shrubs planted four to six weeks before hard freeze-up have time to become established.Cards of Thanks, In Memoriams, Marriage Notices, Engagements, Announcements.HAMPSON-DUHEME, Gracie - At the Barrie Memorial Hospital on October 22, 1996 passed away Mrs.Gracie Hampson Duheme aged 62 years.Beloved wife of the late Denis Duheme, Predeceased by her son Gerry, she leaves to mourn her children John, Pearl, Lucy, René, Joe, Johanne and Sheila, many grandchildren, 1 great grandchild, and will be missed by dear friend Ron.Funeral service was held Thursday, October 24, 1996 in St.Joseph Church at 11 am.Burial in the Huntingdon Protestant \"Cemetery.Visiting hours were held Wednesday, October 23, 1996.Funeral arrangements by Rodrigue Montpetit & Fils Inc., Huntingdon.LEFEBVRE, Victor - At Huntingdon on October 20, 1996 at the age of 89, passed away Mr.Victor Lefebvre, husband of Mrs.Lorenza Riel.Besides his wife he leaves to mourn his children Monique, Aline Mariette (Robert Rousseau), Jean-Charles (Claudette Vaillancourt), and Yves (Myrna Harrigan).Arrangements made by Rodrigue Montpetit & Fils Inc.McARTHUR, Agnes May - In Cornwall on Friday, October 18, 1996.Agnes May Condie of Lancaster, age 98 years.Beloved wife of the late John McArthur.Dear mother of Duncan of Lancaster, Robert of Swift Current, Sask, and Helen of Edmonton.Also survived by one granddaughter and several nieces and nephews.Predeceased, by three brothers, !
