last year\u2019s was 20.8 C, with a \u201cnormal average\u201d being 19.6 C.The substantially above normal temperatures resulted in a total of 2502 Heat Units accumulated to date.(August added 808 to the total.) An average month would have seen only 720 units on the marker.The expected accumulated heat units to date normally would sit at 2434.Rainfall was a decent 2.3 inches, but a bit less than average.snrtanid It was the combination of moisture following a hot July, with humid Auguse nights that made a backwards start to the growing season turn around and surpass the norm, Finlayson explained.(VF) Blue Planet viewing in Elgin Eglin\u2019s Environment Committee is presenting the film \u201cBlue Planet\u201d in IMAX format this Friday, Sept.26 in English at 7:30 p.m.The film is images of Earth in all its splendor as shot by astronauts in space.Admission to the Elgin Church (897 2nd Conc.) is free, but all donations will be accepted and turned over to the church\u2019s Community Centre.SCABRIC is sponsoring this event, with support from the MRC Haut-St- Laurent.For more information, contact Noella Daoust at 264-4378.it (UF) Cl OW (PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY | MARIO DUMAS Canadiana Crossword Names and Places By Bernice Rosella and James Kilner T 12 3 |?ACROSS > rl 8 9 0 Nn | Pilgrimage 12 5 Sixties hallucinogen, for 3 14 short 8 Melville character 12 Old world buffalo 18 13 Mil.mailbox 14 A group of girls 15 Surprise 16 Town in Manitoba or novelist Atwood 18 Pin 19 Watercraft or 20 Before (poetic) 21 Montreal Canadiens, for short 23 AKA dynamite 25 Ontario lake or politician MacPhail 27 An accepted truth 31 Wild ox 32 Recompense 33 Roman cloak = 34 Craftsman 36 Fables author 37 Flightless bird 4 Saskatchewan lake or 28 Alberta town or activist 38 If not singer Arden Brown 39 In the past 5 Tibetan priest 29 Sense of self 42 Intoxicate, in a way 6 Mule team 30 Chart 44 Checkers piece 7 Alberta town, or feminist 32 British Columbia mountain 47 Hero, for one poet Livesay or poet Johnson 49 Identical 8 Fabric of goat and camel 35 Smallest merganser 50 Tiny amount hair 36 Brewery product 51 Compass point, abbr.9 Not there 38 Ontario town, or 52 Common cookie 10 Assert Olympian Catherwood g *3 Sloth 11 Bit sequence (computer 39 Stet : 1 Conger talk) 40 Jail g Manitoba lake, or cartoon- 7 Eugene, for short 41 Upon à ist Johnston 19 Mobile radios, abbr.43 Teenager's curse?S 22 Eagle's nest 45 Prayer ender s DOWN 24 Pack sacks 46 A kind of sign | Lock part 25 Turkish title 48 Pat e 2 Glembler s concemn 26 Needlefish 49 Sun God 3 Deep fried snack 27 Make leather Chartered Accountant 1445 Route 201, Ormstown Centre de la petite Fee enfance Cr LA 27 Prince : St, Suite 203 untingdon Tel.: 264-9766 Places available for your children Renée Guernon Ae ALAIN RACINE,» ARCHITECTURAL TECHNOLOGIST DESIGN - PLANS - RESTORATION By appointment Tel.: 264-9428 Tel.: 829-3466 Director .BILINGUAL AUCTIONEER .+3 Dolores Pilon Our business is SALES Dr.Michelle AY Nathalie Daoust Lecavalier NOTARIES & TITLE ATTORNEYS Optometrist 62 Chateauguay St., Huntingdon Tel.: 829-3356 70 Chat Û id Tel.: 264-5336 steauquay, Huntingdon HOWICK OFFICE by appointment DEAN HOO Ab Open 6 days , mi: 26419532 JULIE CGA Jean Luc Crete Claude OUIMET B.SC., C.G.A.Quenneville ee : | Ese PLANING BLAGUE for VE fe EGAL AID ACCEPTED \u2019 AX RETURNS yo 107 Lake St., Huntingdon 264-6907 Tel.: (450) 373-8458 264-8232 107 LAKE ST., HUNTINGDON Fax: (450) 373-7376 à 264-5231 8 Clinique \\ yo 7 Hans Odermatt Véterinaire Louise Robinson BA, AL (5 \u2014 , y He mr.o@rocler.qc.ca C hamp lai n \\ Acupuncture i Fax: 264-5231 eterinary Clinic Member QC Order of Acupuncturists Monsieur 0 oT ' Ea oo ALERGES ATHRSTS hsouwA PAN eauguay, Huntingdon 3 amplain Hemmingford, Computer Sales - retain ods Québec JOL 1H0 a ot pia SA A RENE DULUDE el STR FRANCINE ROBERGE FORESTRY ENGINEER Tel.py 825-2941 1287 GORE ROAD, HUNTINGDON Fax: (450) 825-1030 TEL: 264-6137 OPTIQUE MELOCHE ;

but persistent vandalism instead is taking its toll on the coffers and patience of the congregation.Before Sunday morning services, someone must arrive early to sweep up the mess of beer bottles, soft drink cans, cigarette butts, hot-dog boxes, candy wrappers, and other litter.In the past two weeks alone, the church has spent $500 in repairs: it replaced the outdoor carpeting, only to see it again covered with more burn marks and holes.New hand railing was the next item needed following its destruction overnight on August 25, just a few days after rector warden Bill Johnson had met with Lt.Pierre Thibault, the officer in charge of the Sûreté de Quebec, MRC Haut St.Laurent, to discuss what the police could do to curb the reoccurring vandalism.Letter In his letter to the Sûreté, Johnson explained the church has had a continuing problem of young people vandalizing the front steps, a result of its proximity to Prince Arthur Park.\u201cPolice intervention has been sporadic at best and not effective,\u201d he said, adding \u201cas Church members, we have confronted trespassers but we do not feel that we should be putting ourselves or our Church in danger or subject to threats by young bullies.\u201d \u201cWe ask for your cooperation, again, by providing a more obvious presence in the area in the evenings and we give you and your officers our permission to enter our property,\u201d he concluded.The church has tried to secure its property by installing security lighting and grills over our windows.They posted a \u201cNo Loitering.Pas de Flanage\u201d sign, but it was stolen.\u201cOur only blessing in all this is that we haven't been a part of the \u201cheritage\u201d break-ins,\u201d he said.Robbers rip heart from Trinity Church in Kavelock Thieves have devastated the small core of Anglican faithful in Havelock.The 1857-built stone Trinity Church lost antique items over the weekend that date back over 100 years.Treasurer Kelly Allen reports that two high-back leather chairs, the wooden altar, an old pine box and a section of stained glass window were stolen.\u201cIt ripped the heart right out of the church,\u201d she said.Police were on the scene Saturday around 10 p.m.Neighbors did not recall any unusual activity.Allen who lives nearby says farm watchdogs might have alerted them but they are barking all the time at coyotes and foxes.Serial thieves This robbery follows a rash of break-ins at other churches such as in Howick, St.Stanislas, and Philipsburg as well as a suspected attempt in Elgin.It is believed that the robbers may already have a customer for the items they are taking and they know where to get them.The Trinity congregation always carry the valuable items with them for each Sunday service such as the candlesticks, collection plates and the electric organ.The present pastor is Rev.Jack Johnson of Dewittville.Public help needed The church was featured in an architectural history booklet produced in 1996 by the MRC du Haut St.Laurent.Photos taken for that work may be helpful to police in identifying the stolen items.= =, Tho Sloaaer » Soplember 37.2800 » 9 Huntingdon recoils from snake sighting No pet/exotic snakes in public places is the latest amendment Huntingdon Town Council has made to its Nuisance Bylaw during its September 2 monthly meeting, in response to reports this summer that residents were exhibiting exotic snakes in municipal parks and on the street.The bylaw also prohibits other indigenous animals, such as bears, wolves, coyotes, foxes, raccoons, skunks, and deer, as well as non-indigenous animals \u2014 tigers, lions, leopards and lynx, venomous snakes and reptiles and dangerous carnivores - from being displayed in public spaces.The bylaw amendment has occurred while a resident running for the mayoralty complained of seeing residents with snakes wrapped around their arms, and asked that legislation banning their presence be adopted;

Hall for drugs, paints, oils and varnishes, tobacco and cigars; hardware and crockery, and public lands now open for sale.The following are some excerpts.and Hinchinbrooke, held at Rockburn last week, was a decided success.A fine display of fancy articles, and excellent dinner, superior music and speeches, together with a lovely day, formed the attractions of the occasion of which nearly 400 persons availed themselves.The amount realized was $172.FIRE - On Monday night the 14th inst.the barn and stables of Peter Nelson were consumed by fire.The barn was full of hay and straw, and the total loss will be over $400.The fire was accidental in its origin, being caused by a boy playing with matches.CAUGHNAWAGA ROAD - We are sure our readers will be glad to learn that the sum of $1,500 appears in the estimates submitted to the House of Assembly, as an appropriation towards putting the road, through the Caughnawaga woods, in a proper state of repair.THE MILITIA BILL - Among the most important questions before the House is that of placing the militia force on a sound and permanent basis.Every one admits the necessity of a large and efficient force, and the only cause that hinders is the expense.Ministers.with a yearly deficiency staring them in the face are reluctant to increase largely the public expenditure, even for so desirable an object.At the present moment, Canada has a militia of 25,000 men enrolled and equipped, and 10,000 more are offered.It costs the country $200,000 for the 25,000.and Bazaar of our Wesley friends of Franklin (VF) Th 66 Chéteauguay St., Huntingdon, Qc, JOS 1HO Tel.: (450) 264-5364 - Fax: (450) 264-9521 info@gleaner-source.com suc [ \u2018 www.gleaner-source.com 2 Loti in 1563 ER a Manager: tes ° RE 4 André Castagnier Hébdos © eo © scestagnier@gisaner-source.com Montérégiens 5 Nicole Jacob Sylvie Saumier The Gleaner will publish all comments or news articles of interest pub@gleaner-ssurce.com PCO OUEST under certain conditions: Material must be received at the latest b 243-C Boul.d'Anjeu Friday at 12 p.m.prior to the publication date, froferably by E-m Journalists: Chitsauguny œ We will also accept articles type written and double spaced that Judith Taylor WM include your name.address and phone number The « Gisaner cannot guarantee the pu jon of news m received.The taylor @gieaner-source.com (a50)ess-a56s Gleaner reserves the right to edit and or clarify the information on Patrice Laflamme the copy received.plafismme@gieaner-source.com Printer: Our advertisers are asked to verify the first copy of their ad.The Office: Imprimerie Québécor Gleaner will be responsible for one wrong insertion.The : 800 Boul.industriel, bur.100 reproduction of any ads or news items is prohibited without written Sheri Graham St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Qc authorisation.The opinions published in the Gleaner by the Liz Elliott G4 journalists or by the readers one not necessarily those of the Martin Daoust (514) 856-7848 management.info@glesner-source.com MUNICIPALITIES OF: Athelstan Cazaville, Dewittville, Franklin Centre, Hemmingford, Publication Mail Registration no: 08070 Howick, Huntingdon, Lacolle, Ormstown, Ste- -Agnes-de-Dundee, or Aricel.8 Antoine ADDS.Ste- \u2018Barbe, = Chrysostom, Ste- Canada local: $32.00 outof area $39.50 artine, St-Louis-de-Gonzague, St-Stanislas-de-Kostka, United States $37.50u.5.fonds $55.00can.fonds StTImothée, Valleyfeid.3211302-170903 © typo DD OU ITE FOR THE CHIROHV ID.Ÿ 1704-03 » es LETTERS em, , Want to feel good?After reading Kim Wilson\u2019s letter of September 3 asking for volunteer leaders for the Guiding Movement, I was quite sad, as that seems to be the norm for all non-profit organizations now.It\u2019s almost impossible to get people involved.Along with lots of other dedicated people, I've served many years with the Athelstan Sports Association and the Scouting Movement.Much work was required and many times I didn\u2019t feel like going, but I cannot say I didn\u2019t enjoy every moment.Yes, I put in lots of energy (sometimes, more than I felt I had) and many many hours of my time and my family\u2019s, but I got so much more in return.Do you want to feel good?Just walk along a street in Huntingdon and have boy or girl vou have worked with, go out of his or her way to say hello and you will know that your volunteerism was well worth it!

SABEC still helping people to medical appointments The volunteer accompaniment and community services organization known as SABEC is still operating while it goes through a restructuring process.The non-profit service co-coordinated over 200,000 kms of transportation last year to medical appointments, and the list of names of those in need grows almost daily, explained Penny Anderson, who along with Christena Durnin and Carole Snook were accepted to the board following its June 27 meeting.Howick\u2019s Jim Miller was re-elected president of the seven-member board.Not only do some 15 drivers take clients to his or her medical appointments, but they stay with the person at all times and bring each home.Nobody is \u201cdropped off.\u201d Clients must be referred for services through their doctors, the CLSC, CLE or CMR.Questions about procedures and costs of the service may be answered by calling 829-1113.Directors are currently drafting a membership census which could help show communities why additional funding is required to subsidize government monies.Financial donations from individuals and business is always welcome.The organization, which has existed for five years, hopes to grow to meet the needs of the MRC Haut-St-Laurent citizens.(article submitted by P Anderson/VF) \u2014 -\u2014_ The Bleoser » Septomber 17, 2003 » 6 ! » «.CANADIAN WINTER PACKAGE PLUS TRACTION !

Fair began just eight years after The Gleaner and only four after Confederation.And today\u2019s fair holds a little bit of each era of the past with four-horse hitches and antique automobiles with timeless scenes of toddlers on pony rides and the elder couples dancing to fiddles and guitar music.Sure, maybe the dollar store toys and junk food prizes at the children\u2019s games are new-fan- gled but the ducks and goats and cattle are all old favorites.But where was the traditional twisting ladder game where children try to climb horizontally toward the $5 bill?One disappointed youngster told some teenage boys how he had planned to hang onto the ladder when it flipped then climb to the prize money from underneath.The older boys both smiled and nodded: \u201cWe always thought we could do that too.\u201d Susan Woffenden of the Hemmingford Recreation Centre explained that they don't have the rope ladder.It was not included when they purchased the games from the Lacolle group.She says it belongs to some individual in Lacolle.Outside the horse show ring David Brisebois was keeping track of ribbons being won by his family and the seven students of Diane Brisebois\u2019 riding school.\u201cThis is the last horse show of the year for us and it\u2019s the highlight of the year,\u201d he said.\u201cWe've been coming since 1973.it\u2019s such a great day.\u201d Nearby, Gerald Bedard was harnessing his Belgian work horses.His pair from St.Lazare was joining with another pair to perform the four-horse hitch with a thrilling thunder of hooves and ringing bells for the audience.Under the entertainment tent three men in black were on stage playing a variety of country and rock and roll.Vocalist Randy Merlin of Hemmingford announced a tribute to the late Johnny Cash, \u201cWe're going to dearly miss him.\u201d Over a field and around a barn more music was ongoing for patrons of the supper served by Restaurant Dede of St.Chrysostome.And across another field children and dads were climbing on tractors and giant farm implements while an impressive demonstration of a portable sawmill was given by Emerson Creswell.At 4 p.m.there was little sign of closing down but once the booths had liquidated their pies and handicrafts the exodus began and a good fair was had by all.More photos of this year\u2019s fair may be seen online at: www.havelockfair.com.Vous

l'instant, les compressions budgétaires imposées par le gouvernement Charest force la plupart des ministères dont celui des Transports à fonctionner avec des budgets réduits et à repousser d'éventuels travaux à plus tard.M.Dorais, qui était accompagné du chef du service de l'inventaire et de la planification du bureau régional du MTQ.Robert \u2018Dupont.a rencontré les maires de la MRC Le Haut Saint-Laurent mercredi dernier pour faire le point sur l\u2019état actuel de la route 138.M.Suto était lui aussi présent à cette réunion, de son côté, flanqué de deux entrepreneurs du Haut Saint, Gary Cluff de Huntingdon et Bill Caza de Saint-Anicet, et de deux représentants des firmes Autobus Roland Leduc et Autobus Huntingdon.Le député provincial de Huntingdon, André Chenail, qui était attendu à cette réunion, brillait par son absence.Pour M.Suto, ce rendez-vous avec des dirigeants du MTOQ, en présence de tous les élus municipaux, revétait d\u2019une importance particulière.Depuis plus d'un an, il mène une grande offensive pour tenter d\u2019améliorer l\u2019accès des routes du Haut Saint-Laurent, en particulier la 138, aux véhicules lourds.Lan dernier, il a présenté un document de [

M.Dupont a soutenu que le design de la 138 remonte aux années 1940-1950 et que sa largeur ne convient plus aux gros camions d\u2019aujourd'hui.Environ 1 000 véhicules passent quotidiennement sur la section comprise entre Huntingdon et la frontière canado-américaine.De l'avis du MTO.la solution la plus rapide et la plus réaliste consisterait à paver les accotements intérieurs et extérieurs dans

aux actes et ordonne le démantèlement de l\u2019imposant site de copeaux de bois aménagé à proximité du dépôt de pneus usés de Jean-Marie Béland à Saint- Antoine-Abbé.La firme Transport M.Charrette de Sainte-Emilie-de-l\u2019Energie, qui exploitait ce terrain depuis le 14 juillet dernier, devra donc procéder à l'enlèvement des quelque 8 000 copeaux de bois entassés non loin du dépotoir de pneus situé sur la route 201, près du terrain de camping du Lac des Pins.Un porte-parole du ministre Mulcair, Michel Jobin, a confirmé que l'entreprise pouvait être poursuivie si elle ne prenait pas les dispositions nécés- saires pour éliminer tous ces débris.Appelé par le conseil municipal à réagir pour l'aider à faire cesser l'exploitation de ce site considéré comme étant dangereux, le ministre de l\u2019Environnement, Thomas Mulcair, est personnellement intervenu en indiquant que l'emplacement représentait l'équivalent d'un dépotoir à ciel ouvert et qu'il constituait une menace sérieuse pour la nappe phréatique.Pour forcer Transport M.Charrette à aller de l'avant.le ministre entend s\u2019appuyer sur l\u2019article 115.1 de la Loi sur la qualité de l\u2019environnement permettant à Québec de procéder immédiatement aux travaux de nettoyage du site et de forcer la compagnie à en assumer les frais.Le représentant du ministre Mulcair a aussi indiqué que l'enlèvement des copeaux de bois devrait commencer d'ici le début de la semaine prochaine.La direction de Transport M.Charrette, a-t- il dit, a pris l\u2019engagement de les éliminer d'ici le 22 septembre.Le maire de Franklin, Pierre Barrière.reconnaît que le MENVIOQ se devait d\u2019intervenir pour forcer le vidage du site de copeaux de bois.«Le Ministère à pris une décision sur la base d\u2019une situation qui n'était pas conforme à ses yeux, ni à ceux des membres du conseil.Les promoteurs n'avaient pas respecté leurs engagements à l'égard du site et c\u2019est ce qui fait que les élus ont réagi en les enjoignant de vider l'endroit de son contenu», a-t-il signalé.Lentreprise Transport M.Charrette exploitait un site de transbordement dans lequel près de 8 000 tonnes de copeaux de bois étaient entreposés sans autorisation de la part des autorités municipales.La compagnie entassait ces résidus et en effectuait le transport pour le compte de Boralex Chateauguay Energy, basée à Chateauguay dans l\u2019Etat de New York.Cette société les employait comme combustible pour un incinérateur dans cette localité américaine.Une Foire « chaude et ensoleillée » 4 Havelock C\u2019est sous un soleil qui brillait de tous

jeté un pavé dans la mare en rappelant que même si la réfection de la 138 constitue une priorité pour le Haut Saint- Laurent, le MTQ doit manoeuvrer avec des marges financieres restreintes.\u201cLe MTQ doit suivre les priorités du gouvernement et en ce sens, il ne peut pas en faire plus cette année\u201d, a-t-il indiqué.Des maires du Haut Saint-Laurent ont plutôt mal accueilli les propos de MM.Dorais et Dupont, eux qui ont eu l\u2019impression de s\u2019être fait servir le même genre de discours par les autres directeurs régionaux du MTOQ ces dernières années.\u201cLa route 138, c\u2019est comme notre route nationale à nous car elle va de Montréal aux Etats- Unis.Que le gouvernement nous fournisse de bonnes routes en retour\u201d, a lancé le maire de Trés-Saint-Sacrement, Albert Billette, visiblement indigné.Le maire de Godmanchester, Pierre Poirier, a parlé des risques que prend son épouse, qui est chauffeure d\u2019autobus scolaire, lorsqu\u2019elle emprunte la route 138.\u201cQuand deux autobus se rencontrent sur cette route, c\u2019est assez dangereux, tellement c\u2019est serré lorsqu\u2019ils se croisent sur la chaussée\u201d, a-t-il noté.Le seul engagement que M.Dorais ait pu prendre pour satisfaire les élus municipaux et M.Suto pour les ressurer, c\u2019est de soumettre une proposition de réalisation d'éventuels travaux au cours de l\u2019hiver qui, une fois acceptée par le gouvernement, pourrait figurer dans la programmation du MTOQ pour la prochaine année.Déçu de l\u2019accueil plutôt mitigé faite par les représentants du MTQ à ses récriminations, M.Suto ne se sent pas désarçonné pour autant.Il entend continuer d\u2019accentuer la pression sur les élus municipaux, le député Chenail et le gouvernement provincial pour voir sa

membres des Hells Angels/Nomads qui ont plaidé coupables jeudi dernier a des accusations réduites de gangstérisme, de complots pour meurtres et de trafic de stupéfiants , mettant ainsi fin a un long et tumultueux procès qui s\u2019est échelonné sur plusieurs mois à Montréal.Stéphane Laplante, âgé de 45 ans, figure parmi les accusés qui ont subi ce procès qui s'était amorcé le 21 octobre 2002 au centre judiciaire Gouin à Montréal.Cet individu et les autres motards impliqués dans ces long processus judiciaire, ont vu les accusations de meurtres portées contre eux être abandonnées, à la suite de pourparlers entreprises quelques mois auparavant entre les procureurs du ministère public et de la défense.Les neuf hommes devraient tous connaître leur sentence le 22 septembre prochain.Ancien

canards.L'édifice était vide au moment du sinistre.En raison de l\u2019ampleur du sinistre, les pompiers de Howick ont eu besoin de renfort de la part de collègues d\u2019autres localités.Des sapeurs

s\u2019annoncent lourds.Selon la police, les dommages sont évalués à 350 000$.Un autre bâtiment de Howick a aussi été la proie des flammes en fin de semaine.Les pompiers ont été appelés à combattre un

d\u2019âge mineur dont un seul demeure dans le Haut Saint-Laurent.Ces arrestations font suite à une série de bris dans des boîtes aux lettres de propriétés situés à Dundee et Saint- Anicet vendredi et samedi derniers.L'enquête policière sur ces méfaits se poursuit toujours. sance EE i.MRC Le Haut Saint-Laurent Jeannine biroux-Lavallée vivement intéressée ENR ETT Le prochain préfet de la MRC Le Haut

politique municipale en novembre prochain.Au moment même où la séance mensuelle de septembre du conseil des maires de la MRC tirait à sa fin, Mme Giroux- Lavallée a quelque peu pris par surprise ses

soutien des autres élus.«Avec mes onze ans comme maire et plusieurs années à titre de vice-préfet, j'aimerais bien remplacer Donald (Frier) au poste de préfet et pour cela, je sollicite l\u2019appui

sent maintenant prête à assumer cette fonction.La courte déclaration de Mme Giroux- Lavallée a été bien accueillie par les quelques maires qui ont bien voulu prendre la parole pour réagir, sans pour autant avouer publiquement qu\u2019ils opteront pour elle lors de l\u2019élection du nouveau préfet le 26 novembre prochain.«Mme Giroux- Lavallée travaille énormément pour la MRC depuis les derniers dix mois.C\u2019est une femme d\u2019expérience et elle aura le temps d\u2019accomplir cette tâche», a lancé le maire de Huntingdon, André Brunette, qui verrait d\u2019un bon {il la venue d\u2019une femme à titre de préfet pour la MRC.Pour sa part, le maire de Très-Saint- Sacrement, Albert Billette, s\u2019est réjoui de l\u2019intérêt de sa collègue de Havelock pour la présidence de la MRC.«On la
