Ile-Russell wading pool in Huntingdon will never again welcome young swimmers.The small pool will make way for movable platforms that will allow children to learn to swim in full safety.Last week, the town reached an agreement with the local Rotary Club to install \u201ctot docks\u201d in the municipal pool.The organization has agreed to purchase three of these platforms, while municipal authorities have agreed to continue operating the site for as long as it is functional and continues to meet governmental requirements.Tot docks are large platforms on stilts that can be submerged in an ordinary swimming pool easily, quickly and in full safety, to reduce water depth for younger swimmers.\u201cThe town of Huntingdon and the Rotary Club are in agreement that tot docks are the solution that would best serve the needs of the community and that would put an end to the financial difficulties raised by the original proposal of a separate wading pool,\u201d said the movement\u2019s president, Bill Caza, following the agreement concluded shortly before the town council meeting last week.At this same meeting, the town council approved the acquisition of these submersible platforms, which will cost approximately $6,000.The agreement also provides that the Rotary Club be officially recognized for its involvement and financial participation in the installation of the tot docks.The Club will also remain the only organization responsible for the official opening of the public pool at the start of each summer, while obtaining financial assistance from the town to assume part of the expenses for this event.Bruce Yando, Huntingdon\u2019s recreation and leisure technician, suggested purchasing tot docks to replace the wading pool at a meeting in August.In choosing to install tot docks, the town has given up the plan to completely renovate the wading pool, in spite of an agreement to Last week, the Town of Huntingdon reached an agreement with the local Rotary Club to install \u201ctot docks\u201d in the municipal pool.Huntingdon\u2019s mayor, Stéphane Gendron, with the municipal council members, poses with former Rotary Club president David Daoust, and with the current president, Bill Caza.do so concluded with the Rotary Club a few months earlier.Elected municipal officials came to their final decision at their September meeting, while they had given the green light for the conclusion of an agreement to work with the Club to refit the wading pool at the beginning of March.\u201cAfter several meetings, we noted that faced with provincial regulations, difficult negotiations, and a variety of logistical problems, the task would not be easy,\u201d admitted Caza.The town council concluded that the wading pool could no longer be fully secure for children.Very small children will still be able to refresh themselves at the public pool.The town and the Rotary Club have agreed that the three platforms ought to be ready by next summer.The Rotary Club collected funds at its three official openings of the public pool in 2004, 2005 and 2006, which were intended for the renovation of the wading pool.Whatever remains of this funding, following the Club\u2019s purchase of tot docks, will be put toward the maintenance of the pool\u2019s infrastructure or toward other community projects.\u201cWe would like to thank everyone

St-Anicet town council by-election NON RU IR Pre ERT Several St-Anicet citizens will go to the polls November 25 to elect a new town councillor to replace Yvon Hamel, who gave notice of his resignation at the beginning of October.Voters will have to choose between three candidates, Nicole Lecours, André Picard and Frangoys Pharand.Each submitted his or her notice of candidacy, between October 12 and November 2 and during regular business hours at the town hall, to the election president, Lyne Viau.For Lecours, this election could mean a return to municipal politics.She was a town councillor from 2000 to 2005.Meanwhile, Picard and Pharand are taking their first steps onto the local political scene.In all, 436 people are registered on the electoral list in district number 4.This by-election will take place November 25 between 10 a.m.and 8 p.m.in the council room at the town hall, 333 Avenue Jules-Léger.Those voters who will not be available on election day can participate in advanced polling on November 18 from noon until 8 p.m., at the same location.- Fall Weather EEE My 2007 corn crop has been put to bed so I will pause to report on weather statistics during the fall.October 2007 was the second warmest since I began observations 40 years ago with an average temperature of 11.3 degrees C compared to 7.9 degrees C in 2006 and a ten year average of 8.6 degrees C.However, for those anxious to blame global warming as the cause, October 1971 was warmer with an average of 11.7 degrees C.The killing frost for corn finally arrived October 17-18, days later than normal but behind 2005 when it occurred on October 21.Heat units for the month totaled 175 compared to normal at 54 and giving us a grand total for the year, starting May 8, of 3319, which certainly attributed to a record large corn crop in the Chateauguay Valley.Most farmers grow corn varieties in the 2800 to 2950 heat unit range.Interestingly, I noticed the high temperature on October 1 was 25 degrees C and on October 31 was 20 degrees C.Rainfall was also bountiful with 129mm or 5.1 inches, which is double the Amazing Kids Louise Hunger: Community of Faith hosted an \u201cAmazing Race\u201d for the Valley Youth on Saturday, October 27.Nine teams left in nine cars to navigate the roads between Ormstown and Franklin.The kids were all from different backgrounds but that didn\u2019t stop them from making friends, since they all had one common goal in sight - to win the race and have a lot of fun.The teams left Ormstown Presbyterian Church at staggered times early in the afternoon.While enroute, they learned of their tasks which consisted of doing such deeds as collecting garbage, cleaning up leaves, stacking wood and washing cars, although the pouring rain helped

nearly fifty people involved made the competition steep which of course only added to the fun and the final few minutes passed like a scene out of the Keystone cops.But eventually the winners were announced and prizes were awarded with much pomp and hilarity.The day finally wound down with a feast of hot dogs, chips and drinks and everyone going home feeling full and satisfied.The Amazing Race

4,000 BABIES HE\u2019S \u201cTAPERING OFF\u201d On a brisk March day in 1946, Dr.Gerry Sutton arrived at Ormstown\u2019s Barrie Memorial Hospital to start in general practice, with, he hoped an emphasis on pediatrics.On that same day, in the same hospital, a baby girl was born to the Douglas Sproules.On Oct.29 this year, that baby, now Shirley Vandor, gave birth to an 8-3/4 pound baby boy, the last of over 4,000 babies that Dr.Sutton has assisted into the world during his 31 years in Ormstown.The co-incidence is somehow typical of the cycles of rural life in the Chateauguay Valley, and pinpoints the very human aspect of medical practice here.The delivery was handled by special request of Mrs.Vandor, whose husband will be taking over the main obstetrical load at the Barrie.It followed by just three days a dinner at the Hemmingford Golf Club, hosted by the Corporation Board of the Hospital, honoring Dr.Sutton and retiring Board Chairman Earl A.Sault of Ormstown.Though Dr.Sutton has officially given up obstetrical cases as of Aug.20, he has certainly not retired in the true sense of the word.\u201cI fcel like a woman who has just delivered,\u201d he said this week.\u201cI have the same sense of relaxation and lack of commitment that new mothers enjoy just after their babies are born.Far from being the end of things, he views the next few months as a chance to decide what he will do next.And in the meantime, he is still in his Medical Centre office, doing routine examinations and available whenever another pair of hands is needed at the hospital.Led into medicine by an abiding interest in people, Gerry Sutton has seen his original idea of general practice shift into an overwhelming emphasis on obstetrics, and then broaden into the fields of counseling both adults and young people with all kinds of problems.And this last may be the area in which he will spend a very active \u201cretirement\u201d.When I came to Ormstown, I wanted to work primarily with children.But when Dr.Quintin left, I sort of took over delivering babies because there was no one else - it was one way to get to know the children.And in obstetrics you also get to know the mothers pretty well.I found lots of close personal relationships with my patients and from there, it was a short step to hearing about some of the problems that were bothering them.\u201cEspecially in the earlier years, there were not too many facilities for dealing with these problems, and quite simple, I found I could help.Read all about it ins Things to do.Places to go.> \"CLEANER Former Soldier decorated by National Assembly HIER FP ty Dense .Hubert, On Saturday evening, Daniel Galipeau was honoured with the Medal of the National Assembly for his achievements as a soldier and his long years of local community involvement as a volunteer.With an audience of nearly 200 people united for the annual Remembrance Day dinner, hosted by the Huntingdon Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, the former soldier from Godmanchester received the distinction from Huntingdon\u2019s provincial deputy, Albert De Martin.The recipient seemed quite moved as he took hold of the medal.Later, the Legion president, Ronald Critchley, invited the guests to rise for a toast to congratulate the winner of this award.The medal is bestowed upon deserving individuals who are recognized for their achievements in a particular sector in a milieu.Only members of parliament of Québec\u2019s National Assembly can bestow this honor.Made of brass with an antiqued lacquered finish, the medal depicts on one side a stylized image of Québec\u2019s Parliament building.The reverse shows a portrait of the first Speaker of the House of Assembly of Lower Canada, Jean-Antoine Panet, which is part of a painting by Charles Huot that hangs in the National Assembly Chamber.It is also inscribed \u201c1792,\u201d a reference to the early stages of Québec\u2019s parliamentary life.The medal measures 68 mm in diameter and is 5 mm thick.De Martin remarked that the medal was awarded to Galipeau in response to a request by one of his family members.\u201cThis is to honor him for his service and because of his great devotion to his community,\u201d he said, paying tribute to the laureate.In a brief interview with The Gleaner/La Source shortly after the meal, Galipeau referred to the honor of receiving this medal as the cherry on the sundae of an active, full life.\u201cThis is a On Saturday evening, Daniel Galipeau was honored with the Medal of the National Assembly.Shown in the photo from left to right are

with this poem in the Ormstown Legion\u2019s contest in 2006.Thank you soldiers In war the soldiers fight / All day and all night / When in trouble, filled with fear / Hoping help is very near / Soldiers sometimes die / Which makes other people cry / But in the end it turns out okay / And some soldiers come back but with a bit of delay / They go to war with themselves with a heart full of hope / And as people try to keep faith their soul's having to cope / But they do it for a reason whether they win or lose / They do it to make Canada a safer place regardless of scratches or a bruise.Emily Dumas André Chenail admits to being courted by Conservatives IE Ey reer While he admits being approached by the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) to become its candidate for the Beauharnois- Salaberry riding, the former Huntingdon deputy, André Chenail, would prefer to return to provincial politics after his defeat in the provincial election of March 26.In a telephone interview with The Gleaner/La Source last week, Chenail confirmed that Stephen Harper's party has sought to attract his attention for several months.\u201cThe CPC has courted me for a long time.It has solicited me for a year and a half.But I haven\u2019t yet made a decision,\u201d he declared.The former Liberal deputy pointed out that he gave his support to the CPC and its representative in Beauharnois-Salaberry, David Couturier, for the federal election of January 23, 2006.\u201cA few days before the election, I explained why I was giving my vote to the Conservatives.I made the decision to denounce the outgoing Liberal government\u2019s inaction with respect to relaunching the Financial Support Program for Older Workers,\u201d he remarked.Nearly two years after the CPC came into power, Chenail credits its leader who became Prime Minister.\u201cMr.Harper has kept his word, until now.He has kept his commitments and we should not be afraid to admit that,\u201d he noted.Questioned as to whether he would run as a Conservative candidate even if Dominique Bellemare had already confirmed his candidacy in the party\u2019s race for the Beauharnois-Salaberry riding, the former Huntingdon deputy launched a direct assault against him.\u201cI can assure you that it would not be good for Mr.Bellemare if I beat him at the next convention.If Mr.Bellemare were so good, he\u2019d be chosen.He would bite the dust once again,\u201d he declared straight off.While he said he is flattered that the CPC is interested in him, Chenail doesn\u2019t intend to forsake the provincial Liberals so quickly.He is currently the president of Huntingdon\u2019s Liberal Association, and intends to confront the ADQ deputy, Albert De Martin, in the next electoral battle in the riding.\u201cI am still the Liberal candidate for this riding,\u201d he pointed out.In reaction to the possibility that Chenail could be nominated as a Conservative candidate, Bellemare was skeptical, to say the least.\u201cIt is news to me.Honestly, I've never heard the party leaders speak about Mr.Chenail.I am in contact with the directors, and I would think I'd Sanitaire Sanitary cleaning septic

is like no other hospital, says the Director of Physical Health, Pat Reid.\u201cThere\u2019s a lot less red tape\u201d, which means that there is less paper work for authorization to be done compared to many city medical centers.There is also close communication amongst the staff and with the patients.At the Barrie, people get along and treat their patients as real people.\u201cYou\u2019re not seen as a number but as a person\u201d, says Reid.Since 2004 the Barrie Memorial Hospital has been part of a new health care system called The Haut St-Laurent-Heaith and Social Services Center (HSSC), which has brought many changes.In 2006, even more changes occurred as another establishment joined the HSSC.Presently there are 3 other sites, the Huntingdon CLSC, the Centre d\u2019hébergement du comté de Huntingdon and, in Ormstown, the Centre d\u2019hébergement d'Ormtown, formerly the Centre d'Accueil.\u2018Many doctors come from Montreal to work in Ormstown due to the calm and inviting atmosphere it offers.They also look for up-to-date technology that Barrie Memorial works hard to provide.As Clinical Administrator Caroline Brooks said, \u201cIf we are able to keep up technologically, it\u2019s thanks to the Ladies Auxiliary\u201d.As a result Photo: Asron Carvery Nursing assistant Warren Grohen does a morning check on patient David Champagne.of the donations given by them, the hospital will be getting a brand new $1,300,000 CT scan machine.Credit must also be given to the hospital foundation and government funding.The Haut-St-Laurent HSSC encourages the people living in the surrounding area to volunteer and work at their sites.One of the initiatives that the hospital does is to accept students who are in universities and career centers to do their internships .There are also students from CVR who do volunteer work.Others, who were working in the textile mills in Huntingdon and were laid off, returned to school to get their nurse's aide training and are now working at the Barrie.Still others are working as maintenance, cleaning staff, secretaries and administration.The Quebec Heath Ministry has declared that the Barrie Memorial Hospital is officially bilingual; consequently the staff is bilingual so it doesn\u2019t matter what language a patient speaks .As Pat Reid said, \u201c I'm English but I'm so used to speaking French\u201d.Before

Commerce and its annual festival for many years.The Demoy\u2019s originated from France and arrived in Quebec in 1978 because Claude Lussier persuaded them to move to Canada to work at Lubec, an apple juice press and winery, which operated in the 1980\u2019s in Saint-Antoine Abbé.Le Cidrerie du Minot operated from a garage (for the boutique) and from a 1960s farm building that Robert Demoy purchased in 1986.They made their first sparkling cider Crémant de pomme in 1987 within the mildly transformed garage.In 1994 they modernized the building into the state of the art cider mill that it is today.They changed from a vast majority of wooden barrels to_ stainless steel vats, which are used in the cider-making process.This new technology makes the fermentation process more efficient.The children of Robert and Joelle, Alan and Audrenne are both working in the cider business.Alan is responsible for the the Barrie Memorial Hospital because they considered it to be an English

teach you a ton.\u201d She also believes that humans and their pets can have a telepathic connection, such as when your pet gives you a certain look you can sense that he needs something for example a drink of water.She begins her training with the owner and his/her dog indoors and slowly makes their way outdoors.\u201cWhen you start training a dog keeping distractions to a minimum is important, says Diane.\u201cWhen your dog begins to \u201cget it\u201d add distractions to your dog\u2019s training, This helps your dog focus and learn to have self-control.\u201d In group training she brings her dog Yogi to assist the dogs and their owners to learn and understand the canine language.Diane is very committed to her program and the dogs love her.She prefers it if the dog is somewhat hungry before they arrive for training because they will learn commands better when treat rewards are involved.Diane's training is called positive reward where dogs are rewarded for their good behavior.\u201cIf you keep an open mind you can learn the language of your dog.\u201d She says that many people say their dogs will attack without provocation but Diane says that by learning their language we can be more responsible guardians.\u201cDogs usually give warning even though people do not realize the warning signs,\u201d she says,\"such as showing their teeth and growling.\u201d Some dogs you can't force to work so you find other ways.Diane said that her passion for training dogs is to make them peaceful and good members of society.Most people believe dogs such as Rotweillers are aggressive animals but she believes when trained properly they can be peaceful and gentle animals.Before launching her business she grad- vated from a two-year program called the Tellington Touch for Companion Animals.hibit M Diane Gay at home with her canine companions, her Golden Lab Billy, her Chocolate Lab Yogi, and her Black Lab Bonnie.Besides dogs, the animal lover shares her home and barns with other creatures like Handsome, her 23 year-old Palomino Quarter Horse ( below), and an adopted stray cat.Then the CLD du Haut St-Laurent, Centre Local de Developpement, was there to support her small business.\u201cThe job demands a big commitment,\u201d admits Diane, as all her dogs lie snoring in the background.While dogs are in boarding she applies the same rules and routines as the owner does at their home.Diane feels like she has a better understanding of them now.\u201cThey have changed my thoughts and ways to work with them.\u201d The prerequisites Diane applies for boarding is that all dogs must be vaccinated, good with other dogs, and be fixed.She pays close attention to all of her boarders but like every dog lover one of her greatest fears is losing someone else's dog.If you are considering getting a dog she recommends the SPCA or a reputable breeder that would let you visit the kennel.Photos by Kristi Clement TER TS Se gr BPs Srey PA = M) ; a+ pr 2 ë LU 4 = x \u2019

marketing but, \u201cmarketing is vague and accounting is more specific.\u201d Audrenne is responsible for testing the product every morning.She is the Maitre de Chai (biochemist).Audrenne states, \u201cthat before lunch is the best time to taste the fermenting juices because the taster hasn\u2019t had his/her lunch which may contain salt and spices, and when people have eaten, it greatly changes the taste of cider.\u201d She says she gets no holidays because the quality control of thousands of liters of cider depend on her minor adjustments of temperature and yeast each day.Tours are available through the boutique and orchards.Their orchards of standard size apple trees that have been around for over 50 years are being slowly changed to dwarf trees.They are very eco-friendly and like to use natural products.They help the environment by using compost, natural carbonation and they installed a weather station that is computerized so they have an accurate forecast to spray pesticides.This year has been their best harvest year since 1990, notes Lyne Notarjiovanni.Bordering their property is an eight-foot frost fence, which was erected three years ago to help control the white-tailed deer population, which is a plague to all apple farmers in the region.Du Minot\u2019s first and oldest alcohol cider created 20 years ago has won many gold medals and trophies over the years and is known as the Crémant de pomme.It is made with a 100% Mcintosh apples.Another variety of cider is the Crémant de glace, which won the gold medal in Quebec last year.This cider is made of many different varieties of apples, which include Mcintosh, Cortland, Empire, Liberty and Trent.These fine ciders can all be found in SAQ liquor stores.Le Cidrerie du Minot is one of the few cider mills to use pressurized reservoirs and the ciders take about a month and a half to three months to ferment in these reservoirs.The system they are currently using is a system to make beer.The lid is so tightly closed that it can hold a lot of pressure which adds the carbonation naturally.Le Cidrerie du Minot is open to the public seven days a week from May till Christmas.Everyone is invited to come taste their gold medal product.Past customers have come all the way from France to taste their slightly sweet and sparkling Crémant de pomme.The mother of a family of four said, \u201cWe have come all the way from France to taste the Crémant de pomme.\u201d Le Cidrerie du Minot averages two hundred thousand bottles sold per year and welcome approximately fifty thousand customers a year to their farm.Above: Lyne Notargiavanni pops the cork on a bottle of artisinal cider for customers to taste.And two prize winning ciders, the original Crémant de Pomme and their newest Crémant de Glace,

with a 48-6 win against Notre-Dame de Lourdes.Touchdowns were made by Josh Blair (1), Maxime Yelle (1), Sebastien Laberge (2) and Ben Courchesne threw 3 and ran 3.The players of the game were Iannick Remillard (defensive), Ben Courchesne (offensive), Graham McClintock (special teams) and Nick Robidoux (Valour Award).Nicky Burnette played a great game with an interception and 3 knockdowns and as for Mike Greig and Alex Barette they both had a strong game on defense.The basketball season is well on its way.Practices have already begun and there are a lot of keen players.For the bantam age, Mrs, Marino (girls), Mr.Mike Furey and Mr.Hunton (boys) have taken on the task of coaching this very large group of young basketball players.Next we have Mrs.Evans training the Midget girls and Mme Beaulieu doing the same for the Midget boys.Finally we have Mrs.Craig and Mr.Dave Furey leading the Juvenile girls and boys teams respectively.Good luck to all teams and have a great season.SUNDAY

Opinion du lecteur Une conseillère municipale étiquetée «l'Opposition» J'aimerais débuter la rédaction du présent article en remerciant mes concitoyens de leur appui chaleureux et de leur soutien constant.Ils me permettent de vivre une expérience absolument unique.Dans le cadre de mes nouvelles fonctions de conseillère municipale, que j\u2019assume depuis maintenant cinq mois, j'ai dû apprendre rapidement quantité de règles protocolaires, juridiques et politiques, tout en me retrouvant impliquée au sein de nombreux débats.Même si ces nouvelles fonctions m\u2019ont procuré la possibilité de rencontrer de nombreuses personnalités politiques, j\u2019ai surtout apprécié l\u2019opportunité de recueillir les commentaires spontanés exprimés par de nombreux citoyens sur une base individuelle.J'ai pu ainsi approfondir encore davantage ma connaissance de notre communauté.Je peux donc affirmer publiquement que c\u2019est un véritable honneur pour moi de représenter leurs intérêts auprès de l\u2019hôtel de Ville.Je considère primordial d\u2019établir une communication avec nos concitoyens sur une base personnelle afin de mieux les représenter.Et c\u2019est en communiquant avec ces mêmes concitoyens que j'ai constaté ce dénominateur commun revenant dans toutes les conversations: je suis inévitablement reconnue comme étant «l\u2019Opposition».Et c\u2019est ce qui m\u2019amène la réflexion suivante: comment est-il possible de reconnaître un conseiller municipal comme étant «l\u2019Opposition?» Puisque le rôle d\u2019un élu est de représenter ses concitoyens, comment peut-il y avoir une opposition?Je connais la réponse.clle m\u2019a été donnée à de nombreuses reprises lors d\u2019interactions avec nos concitoyens, ceux-là même que nous nous devons de représenter.En conséquence, j\u2019inviterais les membres du conseil de s\u2019enquérir de cette réponse.Bien entendu, cela impliquerait d\u2019être à l\u2019écoute des citoyens afin d\u2019entendre ce qu\u2019ils ont à dire.En terminant, et vous pouvez me citer: si je suis étiquetée «l\u2019Opposition» parce que je représente les citoyens en faisant entendre leur voix, je suis prête à l\u2019assumer.avec honneur.Votre conseillère municipale Tonya Welburn, Huntingdon (GUIDE PROFESSIONNEL Dolores Pilon Nathalie Daoust NOTAIRES et CONSEILLERS JURIDIQUE 62 rue Châteauguay, Huntingdon Tél.: 450.264.5336 BUREAU DE HOWICK sur rendez-vous (3) rené DULDE INGENIEUR FORESTIER 1287 CH, GORE, HUNTINGDON TEL.450.264.6137 ô Arpenteur-Géomètre Tél: 450.264.3090 -
