his wife and the other driver, a 31-year-old Montreal resident, were taken by ambulance to the Suroit Regional Hospital in Valleyfield.Their injuries, while serious, are not life-threat- ening, police said.Members of the Haut-St-Laurent SQ detachment called in experts from Montreal to reconstruct the circumstances of the accident.Early Indications are that speed and alcohol may have been factors in the crash, they said.HOLIDAY BREAK This is the last issue of (PLJT) We wish all our readers and advertisers a wonderful summer holiday, whether it co-incides pewed from ail sages Ormstowns Fair results inside Le me nib (IN Jae] Du RQ Le YR { ho m AR ~g autos 1) Bicycle rack 2790 boul.Hébert, (Nitro), St-Timothée meme 223$ pouf.St-Jean-Baptiste, Châteauguay *FREE Windshield repair when claimed to insurance 892-3878 NO DIDUCTIBLE TO PAY l This and That in Town WE'RE TRYING \u2014 to tie up all the loose ends before leaving you for the two-week summer break.No doubt something will be missed or forgotten, but it's not that we don\u2019t care.The siren song of holiday time is sounding ever louder in our brain even as our noscs arc still firmly stuck to the grindstone .BETTER LATE \u2014 than never: last Monday's July 1 holiday meant we didn't get our June weather statistics organized in time for last week's paper.The average temperature of 19.5 ° C.was above the average of 18.5° and last year\u2019s cool June with 17.3°.Precipitation of 71 mm or 2.8 inches was less than last June's 87 mm or 3.4 inches.HEAT UNITS \u2014 are marching along in much better style than last year, with June alone racking up 796 to bring the accumulated total to a healthy 1.210 as of June 30, compared to last year\u2019s pitiful 837 or less, depending on when you planted.ARMY WORMS \u2014 have been reported in the area, the first significant infestation in over a decade.They don't like legumes, but small grains and possibly corn could be affected by the pests, which can wipe out a field in a matter of hours.MORE THAN RESPECTABLE \u2014 is the 12th place finish recorded by Ste- 3 con the en \u201c Junior Weightlifting Championships in Thessalonika, Greece, from June 29 to July 8.Julien tried for a new personal best total of 330 kg with his two lifts, but had to content himself with five kilos less, at 325 kg, and the 12th place slot.This is his last year in Junior competition;

PICNIC The Good Templars\u2019 picnic at Durbam, on Dominion Day, was a great success.The Huntingdon Band, on its way to the Allan's Corners picnic, reached the village about 9 a.m.and played a few pieces, which greatly pleased all who beard their music.The arrival on the 60 years ago grounds of the \u201cTerribles\u201d was anxiously looked Jor, and soon their approach was signalled by the distant blast of the bugle.A wilder looking squadron of borse rarely rallied around the standard of an Eastern Shetk.Horses of all color, size and dge.Riders dressed in uniforms that represented all the different branches of service in all countries, civilized and uncivilized.Arriving on the field in fours, they were extended in line, an inspection took place, and some manoeuvres were gone thru

regular meeting of the Town Council on Monday evening.The secretary disclosed .that the town needed money immediately to pay the current administration expenses and such could be done only if these arrears were collected.The members of the council authorized Dan Moody, one of the toun employees, to shut the water off in certain homes in Huntingdon who (sic) failed to pay their SALVAGE CAMPAIGN À second appeal for waste material for the national salvage campaign is being made at Covey Hill.No doubt much more would bave been forthcoming if all the bousekeepers bad 30 years ago known of the project at housecleaning time, and also if house-to-house collection had been possible.However, it should be remembered that the Covey Hill Red Cross\u2019 plan bits two birds with one stone, or, if preferred, bits the swastika with two stones.The government needs this \u2018junk\u2019 to make war supplies, and the Red Cross needs the cash proceeds to relieve suffering caused by the war.But there is a third bird in this effort, for the more junk that is collected the less taxes will be needed.Almost everything except tin cans is acceptable.KEEP THE DUST DOWN .Hundreds of soldiers march throughout this countryside daily and train in the fields.It sometimes bappens that these soldiers march on dusty roads and meet many cars on their six or seven mile march.Motorists should show consideration to these lads and slow doun when meeting or passing the group.July 14, 1971 SAFARI PARK PLANNED Approximately 450 acres of countryside located two miles east of Hemmingford are slated to

za\u201d iH-o1- Letters Tire fire threatened animal shelter When a fire broke out at the Franklin Tire Dump on the evening of Saturday June 30, anything was possible.We might have had to evacuate some 95 dogs, two horses, two goats and a sheep from the Shangri- la Animal Shelter, with no place to take them, using only a van and a pick-up truck.At that time, Route 201 was closed to traffic in that sector and the side roads were jammed with people leaving the nearby campground and other using our Rang 8 as a detour to the Sharpe Side Road.The traffic was worse than the Autoroute during rush hour.We faced the worry of possibly inhaling toxic fumes from the fire, and four hours of wondering how we would be able to save the animals in our care.We had to bring them all inside the kennels, risking the heat and humidity caused by having to close all windows to protect against the huge black cloud of smoke.We could only hope and pray that the blaze would be brought under control.In the end, our wonderful firemen dealt with the burning tires, once again showing their courage and devotion to duty.Officers and staff of the local detachment of the Sûreté du Québec also showed enormous patience and courtesy in dealing with our numerous inquiries about the situation.They visited to reassure us that everything would be all right, even amid the rumors that the Lac des Pins Campground might have to be evacuated.The woman who answered our many #310- 4141 calls for information deserves full credit for her kindness.At the shelter, Jean-Jacques Marcil returned after his day's work was done to take charge of the animals, and Paul Dufresne rushed over to help.The following morning, the nightmare was over and the sun was shining over a calm landscape.We are left feeling so much gratitude to everyone who helped.Jackie G.Castagner-Marcil Shangri-la Animal Shelter, Franklin Huge billows of smoke rose from the June 30 biase at the Franklin Tire Dump after lightning set a pile of

of damages were caused.The SQ officers explained that the best way for anyone to report evidence connected with the vandalism is to call 310- 4141.An officer may then visit to take down the details and any such calls will be handled confidentially, they said.PLID J A * Community There was a good turn-out on Saturday July 7 at the Elgin Church for a presentation by the Ecomuseum on native

teauguay River Rehabilitation Committee, spoke on the current condition of the river water as far as cleanliness is concerned, and also described measures needed to protect the river banks from erosion.The new program, initiated by SCABRIC, which has seen more emphasis placed on the recreational use of the Chateauguay River and the construction of a series of wharves to allow launching of canoes and kayaks, aroused members\u2019 interest and lots of questions and a lively discussion followed.Acting president Jean Pycock thanked the speakers and refreshments were served by Betty McFarlane and Peggy Landry.(P.Robertson/JT) Propagating ornamental plants involves specialized techniques Dewittville Women's Institute, thriving these days with 38 members including 13 conveners and a full slate of officers, enjoyed a June outing to the Cramer Nursery in Les Cedres, where co-owner Walter Cra- merstetter explained techniques of gathering seed, making cuttings, grafting, potting and all the steps in between, needed to produce the nursery\u2019s ornamental horticulture products which are sold all over Canada and the northeastern US.One member reported on information gained from the Internet about a blight which affected many tomato and potato producers last year.The home grower not wanting to use chemicals against the disease can try moving plants to a different site each year, and getting rid of any diseased plants.These techniques should help the situation correct itself.Earlier meetings Last winter saw the WT's special project, the Dewittville skating rink, enjoy an extended season , with young and old using the ice both day and night.The February meeting featured a report from a member about a relative who had experienced the physical, emotional and financial devastation caused by the earthquake in India.Passing the hat resulted in a generous donation to be sent to the stricken area.Also in February, the group catered a hot-and-cold buffet for a group from Sherbrooke which visited a member\u2019s dairy farm.March featured an evening of \u201cEntertaining Friends and Family\u201d which included a turkey supper prepared and served by one member and her crew, followed by a variety of card and board games.Drawings were held for several prizes.Vet visits April stuck a more serious note, when veterinarian Howard Struthers spoke on prions Scrapie and Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis (Mad Cow disease).The discussion also included an in-depth look at the devastation caused in Europe by Hoof and Mouth disease, and preventive methods taken in North America against its spread.The Dewittville branch hosted April's County Convention at Walshaven in Orms- town, serving a soup and bread luncheon to the delegates.In May, members brought perennials, seeds, cuttings, etc., for an auction to benefit the skating rink maintenance fund, and also help support the annual Walshaven Flower Show and the Children\u2019s Division at Huntingdon Fair.GLEANER

il faut mentionner que le site Droulers était occupé vers 1450 par les Iroquoiens du Saint-Laurent.Durant 20 ans, plus de 500 Amérindiens ont vécu à cet endroit dans dix maisons-longues dont les vestiges ont été retracés.Plus d\u2019un quart de siècle s\u2019est écoulé depuis que M.François Droulers, un résident de Godmanchester, faisait la découverte d'une herminette d'origine iroquoienne

a perdu la vie et deux autres personnes ont été très gravement blessées à la suite d'une collision entre une voiture et une fourgonnette survenue samedi soir vers 20h50 sur le chemin Pointe-Leblanc, à Saint-Anicet.Selon les renseignements fournis par la Sûreté du Québec, l\u2019accident s\u2019est produit lorsque\u2018le conducteur d\u2019une automobile de marque Malibu, pour des raisons qui demeurent encore inexpliquées, a empiété sur la voie de gauche de la route pour ensuite percuter de plein fouet une fourgonnette roulant en sens inverse.Le conducteur de la camionnette est décédé sur le coup.Il s\u2019agit de André Leblanc, âgé de 54 ans, un résident de Dundee.Celui-ci était un homme d\u2019affaires bien connu dans la région du Suroît puis- qu\u2019il était propriétaire de deux merceries, soit les Habits Valleyfield et les Habits Châ- teauguay.Quant à l\u2019épouse de celui-ci, elle a subi des blessures graves mais on ne craignait pas pour sa vie au moment d\u2019aller sous presse.Le conducteur de l\u2019autre véhicule, un homme de 31 ans demeurant à Montréal, a lui aussi été gravement blessé.Lui, la dame et la victime ont été transportés par ambulance au centre hospitalier régional du Suroît de Valleyfield.C\u2019est le détachement du Haut-Saint-Lau- rent de la SQ qui a été appelé sur les lieux de l'accident.Les policiers sur place ont fait appel à leurs collègues spécialistes en reconstitutions d'accidents de Montréal qui ont fait des analyses sur la scène de la tragédie.D\u2019après les premières constatations, il semble que la vitesse et l'alcool au volant seraient en cause dans cette collision mortelle.THE GLEANER/ LA SOURCE EN VACANCES POUR DEUX SEMAINES Le numéro du Gleaner/ La Source d'aujourd'hui (11 juillet) est le dernier avant la pause

les élus avaient endossé lors de son dépôt à la mi-mai.Ce que les élus ont apporté de nouveau par rapport à la première version de la réglementation, c'est qu'ils ont été appelés à préciser la portée d\u2019une des dispositions portant sur l'exploitation d\u2019un lieu de tables champêtres.Selon cette disposition, celles-ci seront autorisées partout dans la municipalité et auront une capacité d'accueil maximale de 20 nnes.De plus, elle prévoit que la vente d'alcool sera interdite à ces tables champêtres.Pour le reste, la réglement reste tel quel.Une fois entré en vigueur, il permettrait l\u2019exploitation d'une ferme cynégétique où se ferait l'élevage d'animaux exotiques gardés en captivité.Le site serait exploité uniquement dans une zone de la localité autorisée à cette fin et pour l'opérer, le propriétaire ou le gestionnaire doit obtenir au préalable les requis et détenir les autorisations de différents ministères provinciaux en plus de se soumettre aux normes établies en matière agricole et environnemental.En plus de permettre l'exploitation d'une ferme cynégétique, ce règlement municipal prévoit également l\u2019exploitation de gîtes du t, de gîtes à la ferme et d\u2019un lieu de tales champêtres.Il autoriserait l'implantation, uniquement dans la zone visée, d\u2019un aéroport pour hélicoptères et d'un e d'observation et de guet employé pour la chasse.En adoptant cette version modifiée de son réglement, le conseil municipal dit avoir tenu compte des critiques et des observations formulées lorsqu'il a été présenté dans ses grandes lignes lors de l'assemblée de consultation du 6 juin dernier.Près d\u2019une quarantaine de citoyens demeurant aux abords de la zone concernée par la réglementation avaient assisté à cenle rencontre et plusieurs étaient verus poser des questions ou ex Das vis ce pro ee urnes le.Certains d'entre eux se sont montrés inquiets face a certaines dispositions du de réglementation et ont tenu à le faire savoir aux élus ce soir-là.Rappelons que le territoire visé par la réglementation est le Domaine Cyroy, un site d\u2019élevage d'animaux qui se trouve en bordure du rang des Botraux.Ce lieu est la propriété depuis 1999 de M.André Cyr qui l\u2019a acquis d'un autre homme qui le gérait depuis 1993.Ces citoyens qui vivent près du site touchée par le projet de réglement municipal restent en désaccord avec la perspective de voir l'aménagement d\u2019une ferme cynégétique pour l'élevage d'animaux exotiques dans un emplacement se trouvant en zone agricole, réservé présentement à certains usages.Ils se disent également contre la possibilité, selon ce que permettrait la municipalité, d'exploiter un gîte du passant, un gîte à la ferme, un lieu de tables champêtres et un héliport.L'implantation de postes d'observation et de guet pour la chasse ne fait cependant pas des objections formulées par ces résidents.Si ces résidents n\u2019en ont pas contre les intentions de M.Cyr d\u2019'implanter son projet de site d'élevage d\u2019animaux exotiques gardés en captivité comme il l\u2019entend, ils se méfient des dispositions du ré- glement que le conseil municipal a déjà endossées.L'adoption de ce réglement révisé est cependant loin de faire le bonheur du groupe de résidents qui compte bien poursuivre la bataille déjà engagée pour tenter de faire reculer le conseil municipal.Comme ils l'ont fait pour la ière version de celui-ci, ces résidents vont revenir à la charge en apposant leurs noms sur un registre qui pourrait inciter les élus à tenir un référendum sur l'un ou l\u2019autre des aspects de cette réglementation avec lequel ils sont en désaccord.Ils s'apprêtent d\u2019ailleurs à recueillir le minimum requis de douze signatures afin d'amener la municipalité à organiser une consultation sur la réglementation projetée.La municipalité doit émettre un avis public dans les tout prochains jours.Opération policière dans un logement de la rue York à Huntingdon Patrice Laflamme LA SOURCE Un logement de la rue York a Huntingdon a été littéralement pris d'assaut par les forces policières mercredi soir dernier.Munis d\u2019un mandat de perquisition, les agents ont pénétré dans le logis où se trouvaient trois individus.Ils ont procédé à l\u2019arrestation de trois occupants en plus de procéder à la saisie de 34 g de marijuana, un gramme de haschich et dix-neuf grammes de champignons magiques.La valeur de toute cette quantité de drogue a été établie à 820$ sur le marché noir.Deux des trois suspects ont été amenés pour être interrogés puis furent relâchés.Le troisième a cependant comparu au palais de justice de Valleyfield sous une accusation de possession de stupéfiants.Quant au propriétaire des lieux, il s'est livré à la police le lendemain et fait face à la justice lui aussi, lui qui a été accusé de trafic de stupéfiants.Cette opération a été menée par les policiers du détachement du Haut-Saint-Laurent, de concert avec leurs c de l'escouade contre le crime organisé de la Rive-Sud basée à Candiac.C'est au terme d\u2019une enquête étalée sur trois mois que les deux corps de police ont effectué cette intervention, qui a nécessité la participation de

commissaires de la commission scolaire de la Valée- des-Tisserands vient d'adopter son budget pour l'année 2001-2002, lequel se traduit par un déficit de 651 467$.Le budget de la prochaine année prévoit ainsi des dépenses de 76 858 670$ et des revenus de 76 207 203$, ce qui lui procure ce manque à gagner.Comme l\u2019a indiqué le directeur général de la CSVT, Michel Saint-Jacques, ce déficit s'avère néanmoins inférieur à ceux enregistrés depuis le regroupement des commissions scolaires de Valleyfield, Huntingdon et des Moissons il y a trois ans.La raison est que le conseil des commissaires de la CSVT a adopté (récemment) un plan de redressement qui ettra de récupérer quelque 700 000$ sur le déficit qui était à l'époque anticipé.Ce plan de redressement occasionnera toutefois une hausse des frais de garde des élèves pour le.dîner.Ceux-ci passent de 36$ à 57$ par enfant et atteignent un maximum de 114$ par famille au lieu de 72$.Comme l'expliquait lors d\u2019une récente
