Calf carcass found in river One of the more gruesome bits of flotsam discovered in the wake of the June 12 flooding in the Chateauguay Valley was a 400-1b.beef calf.The bloated body, which had had the ears cut off, was first seen floating in the English River the following day, and reported to the St-Chrysostome Town Hall.However, when municipal workers came to the spot described, they could not find it.The following day, a farmer called to say the animal was floating in a bay in the river next to his land.Municipal inspector Robert Poupard brought in an excavator in order to retrieve the large calf, which was then taken away by a livestock removal company.See COW page 5 Motorcycles in two crashes Accidents involving motorcycles continued to make the police reports this week.Early Saturday afternoon, a motorcyclist in St-Anicet who fled after police tried to stop him for speeding, hit speeds of up to 130 km, police said.before he lost control and hit the ditch.The Dundee man, aged in his 30s, received only minor injuries, but will face charges relating to speeding and failing to stop.On Sunday June 23, a St-Chrysostome couple were injured when they lost control of their motorcycle on a curve of Route 209 in Franklin.They were taken by ambulance to hospital in Valleyfield, but their injuries were not life-threatening, police said.(PLJT) School\u2019s out!

the Valley's best-kept secrets for those looking for a day trip is the Lake St- François Wildlife Reserve.This in spite of the fact that it is gaining international recognition as one of the few such reserves in Canada which allow members of the public to visit part of the site.Its about time we realized how great the interest in the ecology and wildlife habitat reservation is in the bigger world, and ow lucky we are to have such a site close to home.Summer is prime visiting season for tourists at the Reserve, but we local folk can also take advantage of the changing scenery and migrating inhabitants almost all year \u2018round, given that the great group of volunteers who make it all work also offer special activities during the off-season.Like the other federal reserves across the country, the project has suffered greatly from funding cuts in recent years.In the midst of a series of financial crises, Les Amis de la Réserve have shown great ingenuity, securing the former Liquor Commission trailer from Ormstown to use as office space, just to take one example.They have kept going, no matter what.It was good to hear last week that some money has finally come through from Ottawa, allowing the Reserve to hire workers for summer maintenance.But it's still a hand-to-mouth existence.We'd like to see both government and private individuals rally behind this irreplaceable asset and assure its future in a more permanent way.gn FROM GLEANER ARCHIVES .120 years ago June 22, 1882 CALEDONIA GAMES The annual summer gathering of the District of Beauharnois Curling Association was held at Allan's Corners-on June 16th.This day was everything that could be desired for the games, the air being cool and invigorating.Mr Robert Greig kindly put at the disposal of the association a field along the river bank, which proved to be admirably adapted for the sport.A large number of people were present, and the quoiting began at 9 a.m., four clubs competing.Mr John Bryson had an excellent dtnner prepared in the Templars\u2019 Hall, to which all adjourned at noon, and fortified themselves for the tug of war in the after part of the day.Over $40 were disbursed in prizes.The officers of the different clubs now agree that the event 60 years ago must be kept separate from any picnic.(Events included) Quoiting, Putting stone, Throwing hammer, Throwing 56 lb weight, Tossing caber, Vaulting with pole.Standing long leap, Standing high leap.3 legged race, Half mile race, Walking match, Sculling race.WE ALWAYS THOUGHT A FELON WAS A CROOK Peter Fraser of Dundee was hired to take charge of a farm near Montreal.A felon coming on one of bis thumbs, be went to the hospital to get it lanced, and then came home, to pack up and remove his family, but be was taken very sick and the doctors attending pronounced the disease poisoning of the blood, either from a dirty lance having been used, or from the effects of the felon on the blood.He died on the 16th instant, aged 40 years.June 24, 1942 MORTGAGE BURNED The Howick United Church was the scene of an interesting and bistoric occasion recently.The congregation celebrated the seventeenth anniversary of its coming into being, and the fourteenth anniversary of the opening of its beautiful stone church.In addition, \u201cthe burning of the mortgage\u201d took place.An appropriate celebration was held, to signalize the greatness of the occasion.(Dhe actual burning of the morigage was conducted by two of the oldest members, Mrs.James McKell and Mr.Archibald Cameron.TROUT RIVER FIRE The large brick block, an outstanding landmark at Trout River Lines and the former McCaffrey store were totally destroyed by fire Tuesday morning.The bakery of J.B.Faubert occupied the ground floor and the fire is believed to have been caused by a overbeated 30 years ago oven.Mr.Faubert and three young boys, asleep in the upper storey, narrowly escaped with their lives.ARMY WEEK .The week of June 29th to July 5th bas been set aside as a week in which the public will honor the Boys in Khaki.Plans have been completed whereby the citizens of Huntingdon and district will entertain the soldiers of the Chateauguay Barracks

available appointment for a routine general physical check-up would be in 1973.Seems there's a shortage of doctors.Emergency cases, of course, are still treated promptly.Wet weather \u2014 persists.And it\u2019s proving rough for farmers.Those who did their seeding before the prolonged rains complain that seed isn't germinating and those who didn't are afraid it will be too late to plant even with warm dry winds for this year.Corn crops on sandy soil appear to be doing well, even some on clay land, but Mother Nature has certainly dealt most farmers a tough hand for 1972.SLENDER THIEVES Thieves broke into the Athelstan Post Office over the weekend and made off with $160.Postmaster Jim Hutchings said the Post Office had been closed from 3:30 Saturday afternoon till Tuesday

we live in Hinchinbrooke, just barely outside the municipal limits of the Town of Huntingdon, our water-tax bill has consistently been up to three times higher than our neighbors inside the Town line.When 1 first questioned this situation about 25 years ago, I was told by the Town Clerk that because our house and others like it were not yet built when Huntingdon\u2019s water-filtration plant was constructed, we were (and are) being charged extra to make up for our share of the plant construction costs.Over the years, our water-tax bill, which is sent from Huntingdon to us via the Municipality of Hinchinbrooke, has climbed to $330 per year, and now I hear that next year the Town of Huntingdon wants to raise it to over $500, a sum which I find unbelievable.That would be the biggest single item on my tax bill \u2014 could it mean that the water we use is worth more than our house itself?I expect that if Huntingdon were to raise the water tax assessment paid by its own residents to that amount, there would be an uproar.Recently we heard that the Town is planning to upgrade its filter plant once more.Will that be another reason, or excuse, to raise our water taxes yet higher?Surely what we are paying now is more than our fair share, and more than enough.(Name witbbeld by request) Hinchinbrooke Dog is long-term commitment Recently we received a lovable gift with four legs and long black hair.Hungry, wet and cold, he edged his way into our two-dog, two-cat home.I promised my family it was only for the weekend.Surely he had got lost during the storm, and somewhere he had a family worried sick about him.I called the municipalities, the dog-catchers, and the neighbors.No luck.A week went by.An advertisement ran in the \u201cLost and Found\u201d column of the newspaper, and ran a second time.Still no one called searching for a beloved pet.\u201cShawn\u201d had been dumped, just as most of us would dump our garbage at the curb.Shawn\u2019s story ends happily, thanks to help from other dog-lovers, and the grace of God.He now has the perfect home, with responsible, loving owners.As puppy season and the July 1.moving day approach, I want to remind people about the responsibilities involved in owning a dog.The bond between a person and a loyal pet can be very rewarding.However, owning a dog also means lots of responsibility and expense.Dogs can live for 10 years or more.Over the years, you will have vet bills, chewed shoes and furniture, and urine stains.You will clean up more piles of excrement than you will care to remember.A dog is not just a child's playmate for the summer, or until the novelty wears off.If you decide a dog is right for you, that's great.Remember, there are numerous shelters and rescue groups in our area, over-crowded with super dogs just waiting for a loving home.And if you do have a dog you find yourself unable to care for, please find an alternative to just dropping it off somewhere.And please have your pet spayed or neutered, to help stop the cycle of more unwanted animals.Kim Tannabill Huntingdon The mystery of the birds Every year, on the last Sunday in June, there is a church service held in historic old Odelltown Church.The church only hosts a very few events during the year, and none in the winter, so this means that in the spring it has to be thoroughly cleaned to start the new season.This year, the service is on June 30, so we ladies of the Lacolle U.C.W.went there recently to do our usual job.The church is in pretty good shape and it wasn't extremely dirty, just dirty.But a few days before the cleaning bee took place, I had been talking to Don Robinson, a Trustee, and he mentioned that we had \u201cour usual mystery\u201d.The problem is that even thiough there is absolutely no way for them to get into the building, we always find at least two dead birds in the church.Every window is tight and in good repair, the door is solid and the old chimneys are completely blocked off, so how do they get in?We discussed the problem for a little while and then I jokingly said maybe there was a secret passage somewhere.Don went one better and suggested that maybe the church was haunted.We still didn\u2019t come up with a logical solution, so had to give it up and could only hope it doesn\u2019t happen again next year.Thinking about it later, still in a lighthearted way, | wondered to myself why we had- n\u2019t thrown in reincarnation along with our other theories.I think that idea has all kinds of possibilities for a fun and rather outrageous discussion, the kind I like best.Dorothy Hannab, : Lacoile AE PO bd bet Vy pet TT = A No g.n tr te < aT 300 pd Hemmingford Golf Club Foundation president Mario Taboika (third form right) with members

area Hemmingford\u2019s Community Library was the final beneficiary for the current year of the local Golf Club Foundation\u2019s community aid program.Foundation president Mario Taboika presented a $1,000 cheque to Library president Sidsel Stairs on June 11, representing the last of the funds raised at last year\u2019s benefit tournament.The money will go toward renewal and renovation of the library, helping to buy bookshelves and furniture for children.In 1972, members of the community, led by Carol Petch, founded the library, which has always been a volunteer-operated public community project.Hemmingford Village provides space in the municipal building, while Hemmingford Township contributes toward the operating budget and affiliation with the \u201cCentre régional de service aux bibliothèques publiques de la Montérégie\u201d [CRSBP].The present volunteer executive committee consists of president Mrs.Sidsel Stairs; vice-president and treasurer Sheila Lord; vice-president Carol Don-Elysyn; and secretary Mrs.June Mac- Pherson.Wide membership The library serves an active membership of over 500 families, representing more than one-third of the population.Of the 12,000 books on the library shelves, about 800 are on loan each month.As well as books in English and French, there is Inter- Cow.from page 1 With no one reporting a lost animal, the question remained as to whether the calf was a victim of drowning, or had been dumped in the river already dead.Someone had obviously tried to remove all traces of its identity by cutting off the ear tags.The incident led municipal officials to warn farmers to prevent their animals from getting into rivers or watercourses, and never to dispose of dead animals, branches or other refuse in this way.(PLJD) j V.EXCELLENT USED CARS |

available resources.A project to enlarge the space and increase the number of books is expected to start in late summer, with help from federal, provincial and municipal governments.But the subsidies do not cover furnishings.The library needs more bookshelves and comfortable furniture for children, and the Golf Club Foundation is contributing to this aspect of the project.At the presentation, Mario Taboika said last year\u2019s successful golf tournament allowed a total of approximately $5,000 to be donated within the community.The Foundation is now planning and seeking sponsors for its second golf tournament, to be held in less than two months time on Wednesday, Aug.7.A successful event will mean more donations to the community in the coming year.(BGT/JT) PILE $ 87,500 Riverside

ALIAS [ERT 7 > Eg Io ar AL SS NNT her Un avocat demande une enquête sur les agissements d'un échevin d\u2019Elgin Patrice Laflamme LA SOURCE Un avocat de Huntingdon, Me Stéphane Gendron, a écrit au ministre de la Justice et Procureur général du Québec, Paul Bégin, pour demander la tenue d'une enquête sur les agissements d'un membre actuel du conseil municipal d\u2019Elgin et qu\u2019une poursuite en déclaration d\u2019inhabileté à siéger soit intentée contre lui.Dans une lettre datant du 22 mai dernier dont The Gleaner/La Source a obtenu copie la semaine dernière, Me Gendron estime que David Drummond, un échevin élu lors du scrutin municipal de novembre 2001, a omis de déclarer qu'il agissait comme membre- administrateur de la coalition rurale du Haut- Saint-Laurent, en vertu de l\u2019article 357 de la Loi sur les élections et les référendums.Selon l\u2019avocat, le registre de l\u2019Inspecteur général des institutions financières du Québec indique toujours l\u2019échevin à titre d'administrateur du regroupement.Il souligne enfin que le siège social de ce mouvement se trouve sur la propriété de M.Drummond à Elgin.Me Gendron s\u2019est référé à unrarticle publié dans un numéro d'avril du journal The Gazette, intitulé ACO) anna Depuis 1955 e Vente ESTIMATION AVS uovaties You, , == IesTallrion GRATUITE : i \" 373-6158 NE mme eu LIRR le samedi 12 octobre prochain à l\u2019Hôtel Plaza Valleyfield.Or, ce texte comporte une toute petite erreur quant au numéro de téléphone à composer pour les individus et les familles intéréssées à s'inscrire à cette journée.Le véritable numéro est le (450) 370-4390.De DNSTr otic ne logique des choses.Il y a des gens qui se rendent compte que ce n'est pas juste une question de cochons qui se pose.C\u2019est le it pour moi de produire qui à été mis en cause, surtout qu'une partie du territoire d'Elgin est agricole», confie-t-il en soulignant qu\u2019il a obtenu le support de beaucoup de citoyens dans ses démêlées avec la municipalité.Et si jamais la bataille pour la construction de sa porcherie devait reprendre de plus belle?Questionné à savoir s\u2019il craignait que la municipalité d\u2019Elgin décide de faire des démarches afin de faire révoquer son permis, M.Vinet se dit prêt à retrousser ses manches et à reprendre le combat s\u2019il le faut.«Je n\u2019ai jamais arrêté de me battre pour obtenir gain de cause; pourquoi je ne me battrai pas encore», souligne-t-il.Quant à la construction de la ferme-ma- ternité porcine, elle n\u2019a pas encore débuté et aucune date n'a été fixée.M.Vinet a indiqué que ce n\u2019est plus qu\u2019une question de jours avant que les travaux ne débutent, une fois que la préparation du terrain qui accueillera lé futur bâtiment sera complétée.Comme pour tourner la page sur ce qu'il DOr arie lus à l'aise * - a vécu au cours des derniéres semaines, M.Vinet et sa conjointe se sont lancés corps et âme dans la plantation de nombreux arbres sur leur terre.Avec l'aide de la Société sylvicole des Laurentides, le couple compte mettre en sol 30 000 épinettes blanches dont 15 000 dans une première phase.L'an prochain, ce seront peut-être des pins rouges qui seront plantés chez lui.«Le gros de mes arbres seront plantés cette année», a précisé l\u2019agriculteur.Il a fallu de deux à trois jours pour effectuer les travaux de plantation de ces arbres qui, selon M.Vinet, devraient atteindre leur pleine maturité d\u2019ici 40 ans.Du côté de la municipalité d\u2019Elgin, aucune décision n\u2019a encore été prise quant à une possibilité de résilier le certificat d\u2019autorisation accordé à M.Vinet, compte tenu que le maire n\u2019avait pas été avisé au préalable de l'intention de M.Dyrda d'agir de la sorte.Mme Daoust a tout simplement indiqué que les discussions sont en cours entre la municipalité et son conseiller juridique quant au scénario approprié à adopter dans ce dossier.3 EAR ABR Mario Vinet et sa conjointe Lyne Larocque se sont lancés corps et âme dans la plantation + SE de nombreux arbres sur leur terre à Elgin.Ils comptent mettre en sol 30 000 épinettes blanches dont 15 000 dans une première phase.Le couple pose avec Juvénal Ndayizeye, un employé de la Société sylvicole des Laurentides.(photo P.L.) du Canada.Bourse de 50$ et plus.ÉCOLE ARTHUR-PIGEON HUNTINGDON | Le comité organisateur de la soirée d'honneur 2002 vous remercie.Nous sommes fiers de remercier les personnes et organismes qui ont contribué à la promotion de l'excellence à l\u2019école Arthur-Pigeon.Bijouterie C.& S.Carrière Enr, Restaurant Casa Venezia, Voyages Gendron, Les Jardins de Lydia, Fleuriste de Huntingdon, Gouvernement du Québec, Gouvernement Caisse populaire de St-Louis-de-Gonzague, Club optimiste de Ormstown, St-Anicet, de Ste-Barbe, de St-Louis-de-Gonzague.Les Municipalités d\u2019Elgin, de Godmanchester, de St-Louis-de-Gonzague, de Ste-Barbe, de Franklin, de St-Anicet, de St-Stanislas de Kostka.Groupe Conseils JCT, Les amis de la Réserve nationale de la Faune de Lac St-François, Fonds Amnistie Internationale.Bourse de 100$ et plus.Municipalités de Hinchinbrooke, de Huntingdon, de Dundee, Club Rotary de Huntingdon, Maison des jeunes Huntingdon, Conseil d\u2019établissement, Coopérative étudiante, The women's Institute of Dundee, Les anciens présidents d'honneur, Caisse Populaire du Haut St-Laurent, le Cabinet du député fédéral Serge Marcil, Club Lion Ormstown.Bourse de 200$ et plus.M.André Chenail, député libéral Beauharnois-Huntingdon, Crête & Pilon CGA, Cuisinerie Alain Lavoie Inc, Syndicat de l'U.P.A.de Saint-Anicet, Club Optimiste de Huntingdon, la Fondation McCrimmon, le personnel de l'école Arthur-Pigeon.Bourse de 500$ et plus.Caisse populaire du Suroît-Sud, Commission scolaire de la Vallée-des-Tisserands.Bourse de 1 000$.Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste et Fondation Arthur-Pigeon.LA FONDATION ARTHUR-PIGEON La Fondation Arthur-Pigeon remercie ses généreux donateurs.Noranda CEZinc, A.T.E.Q., Raymond Nicole, Asphalte Léonard Vemer Inc., Beauchamp Jean et Bastien Ghislaine, Dignard François, Ferme Urdani Inc., Hébert Jean-Pierre Dr et Lemieux Raymond Dr, Les Entreprises Agricoles Caza, Aelbrecht Jean, Assurances Gosselin, Latreille, Renaud Inc., Benny Chantal et Hatch Pierre, Carrière Richard et Marjolaine, Ferme Castalait Inc., Gibeault et Fils Ltée, Ouimet Denise, Ouimet Julie, Pilon, Ménard & Pilon notaires, Morin André et Simard Ghislaine, Pilon Marco et Paquet Johanne, Archambault Michèle, Bergeron Sylvie, Micheline Caza, Daoust Luce, Dussault Benoit, Ferme Monespoir, Laurendeau Clermont et Nicole, Leclerc France, 141536 Canada Inc.(Robert Vachon, pharm.), Vemer Gaétan, Pilon Thérèse et Maurice, Plante Louise, Reid-Maheu Diane, Renaud Noëlla, Rodrigue Sy Cvrmosos 05-7 ss - 7007 NINA 92 - HOANOS VI Montpetit et Fils Inc., Pilon Mélanie, Viau Claude, Brisson Richard, Goulet Trude!
