Wednes day, November 21, 2007 More police officers in the Haut St-Laurent Patrice Laflamme Pr by Denise D.Hubert) The police force will increase slightly in the Haut St-Laurent.On Wednesday morning, the MRC confirmed it had concluded an agreement with the Québec Ministry for \u2018 Public Safety to reinforce the services of the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) across the region\u2019s territory.This agreement, which involves a plan to reorganize policing for the 13 municipalities of the Haut St- Laurent, was accepted by the MRC's committee for public safety after several ; months of intense discussion.In the presence of Mayors John McCaig of Ormstown and Gilles Bigras of St-Chrysostome, who are both members of the committee for public safety, and with representatives of the SQ, the commander-in-chief of the police force for the Montérégie district, Christian Chalin, the MRC prefect, Alain Castagner, and its director general and secretary-treasurer, François Landreville, each signed the document attesting the validity of the agreement for a duration of ten years.This agreement replaces a previous one, which expired four or five years ago.In October, the council of mayors adopted a resolution at its monthly meeting to authorize the conclusion of this new agreement.\u201cThis new agreement meets everyone\u2019s needs,\u201d said Castagner with a smile.Seated next to the prefect, the commander-in-chief of the Montérégie\u2019s SQ praised the MRC's efforts and those of its committee for public safety in finding a solution favourable to acquiring new officers to satisfy the needs of citizens with respect to public safety.\u201cIt is important here to thank the mayors from all of these municipalities for the confidence they grant us.We have felt their | appreciation for the quality of the services rendered by our police force,\u201d he declared.As envisaged in the agreement, new police officers will be hired for the Haut St-Laurent.The SQ will engage three ! additional police officers.Two patrollers and one investigator will soon join their colleagues at the Ormstown police station.As Chalin explained, the new police officers should begin work within the next four months, or 120 days, in approximately mid-March.According to him, the jobs will be advertised through a competition wherein all the SQ officers from across the province can submit their candidacy for one of the three posi- | [ Sue Police page 18] Vitres d'autos Biblio l'Assem National - Div Periodiques 1035, rue Des Parlementaires, Québec (Qué.)

apple-sector businesses, as well as food products and exclusive articles sold by regional tradespeople.Kathleen Bisson, the president of the Haut-St-Laurent Chamber of Commerce and Industry, recalled that this fair initially, and above all, aimed to ensure premium visibility to this regional economic development organization and to its member-companies.\u201cThese are local companies from a variety of different industry-sectors, companies the population ought to know well,\u201d she insisted.Thirty-three businesses and organizations from across the MRC set up their kiosks to promote their products and services to visitors.Fifty per cent of the exhibitors were already members of the Chamber.\u201cWe took the opportunity of this event to recruit new members from among the participants,\u201d explained Bisson.While admission to the fair site was free, visitors were able to purchase a \u201cgourmand\u201d pass for $10 that allowed them to sample all the delights offered

region,\u201d added Bisson, emphasizing that this kind of trade fair could be held in different locations across the Haut St- Laurent in coming years, according to her.The establishment of this fair

decided she was ready to move on, unfortunately the Medical Centre was simply not ready for her retire.\u201cAfter 45 years, a good part of your life, you need to look for other stuff to keep yourself busy,\u201d she says, from behind her desk at the OMC.But while \u201ceveryone has stuff that they are looking forward to being able to do when they retire, when it actually hits, I had to ask myself if I was ready for this,\u201d she says, noting how her answer had been that she was not sure, and so the Medical Centre offered her the chance to work her way into retirement with a reduced workload.\u201cIt is perfect,\u201d she says, noting how this allows her the extra time to start the projects she has long put off for retirement while simultaneously easing herself into the mindset of no longer having to work.\u201cI like the work that I do and the people I do it with,\u201d she says of the job she started fresh out of school at 17-years- old in 1962.Over the years, Cartier Emond has dabbled in a lot jobs within the Centre, from general bookkeeping to her current work transcribing medical reports.\u201cPeople come and go but a lot stay - and stay for years,\u201d she says, noting how she \u201chas had the pleasure of working encens Ormstown Medical Tl TPS RA SEE ES with so many people that I get a long with so well.We compliment each other,\u201d she smiles.\u201cThey are very dedicated people to their work,\u201d she says, highlighting that the work is not easy, but involves a lot of stress and care.It is no secret that there is something about the Medical centre that latches on to its staff and holds them for decades, and in her 45 years, Cartier Emond has seen a lot come through the doors in terms of doctors, nurses, and staff.Among the many changes that she has witnessed, two stand out as having had a huge influence on her job and the Centre in general: Medicare and technology.The province\u2019s health care system was overhauled in 1970 with the introduction of Medicare, and while the headaches associated with sending bills directly to patients and collecting payments no longer exist, the Medicare system has since become saddled with such heavy bureaucracy that the headaches remain.Even more significant to the Centre\u2019s environment has been the improvements made in office technology in recent years.\u201cI started with an old typewriter that you needed to pound on to get the letters to type, and then came the electric one and the typewriter with the memory, and then at one point I came back from a holiday and found the typewriter under the desk and a com- [or ka pl ey \u2018oa VR ag 344 6 py tou ta 4, Baer us Éd Rue nu entre losing a \u2018gem\u2019 afte puter in its place,\u201d she says with a laugh, thinking back to how sudden the change had been.\u201cShe is so dedicated,\u201d says Dr.Tom Vandor, noting how all \u201cthe secretaries know people and are so dedicated that even when you are not in the mood to see somebody they will stand up for the patient.She is a real patient advocate,\u201d he says, with a great deal of respect.\u201cShe is a gem,\u201d says Dr.John Hortop, stopping in while rushing past the office to give her shoulders a PE A TE SIT OT ESC ASE TS Ma ST AE CE I 43 years squeeze.The hole that will be left in the Medical Centre staff on Cartier Emond\u2019s last day of work is clear as one after one her colleagues sing her praises, lament her leaving, and wish her all the best.\u201cI have enjoyed the whole thing, but I am looking forward now to enjoying other things.I think you know when you are ready to retire,\u201d she says, her eyes shining, \u201cbut being able to do it in this way is great.\u201d Nova Career Centre Program Selection: Automotive Technology

good milch (sic) cows especially - have brought fair prices.NOTICE TO FARMERS (Advertisement) The undersigned has two Yorkshire Boars for the improvement of stock, one is aged and the other is under twelve months, and took first prize at Quebec, Ottawa, Toronto, and Hamilton.Charge $1 at time of service, with the privilege of returning free if not with pigs.Also, one pure Oxford Down Ram, for the service of Ewes.Charge $1.Andrew Gilmore, about 3 miles west of Huntingdon village.[ 00 yoars ago | november 12, 1947 TROUT RIVER MAN GETS 210-LB.BUCK Arthur Taylor, Trout River, brought down a 210-Ib.buck, while hunting in the Constable area Sunday.The animal was an eight-pointer.With him on the hunt was Roy Tuttle, also of Trout River.Queried as to the conditions for hunting following the weekend storm, Mr.Taylor said there is considerable difficulty in tracking deer as little snow is on the ground in that area.Others hunting in the mountain areas said they were drenched with the fall still on the underbrush and that walking was most difficult as there was a heavier fall south of here.- Malone Evening Telegram STANLEY BRYSON KICKED IN HEAD BY HORSE Mr.Stanley Bryson of Brysonville, Que.had the misfortune of being kicked in the head by a horse on Thursday.Mr.Bryson was ploughing when the accident happened.He was immediately taken to Ormstown, from there he was removed to the Montreal Neurological Institute, where an operation was performed.The cheekbone was broken and the bone between the eyes was fractured.By all reports Mr.Bryson is improving nicely, and his many friends wish him a speedy recovery.HOLD BEE TO GET IN WINTER FUEL FOR CHURCH On Thursday, 16 men of the Elgin congregation had a bee at the church, chopping wood and filling the sheds.Quite a number of the ladies gathered the same day and give the woodchoppers a hot dinner.A Ladies\u2019 Aid meeting was held after dinner.PARTS OF ATHELSTAN RD.BEING CLEARED TO HELP SNOW REMOVAL No doubt what will prove to be a great improvement to the Athelstan- Powerscourt road is being accomplished this week, for men operating a bulldozer are already at work removing what is known as Boyce\u2019s Hill, a place on the roadway which has been difficult for the snow plows to keep open, owing to the depth of snow accumulating there every winter.Other places on the same road are being lowered where snow blocked the road in previous winters.[ 30 yoars 230 ] November 9, 1977 SEVENTH TERM FOR HINCHIN- BROOKE MAYOR Mayor Allan Wilson came home from Scotland Tuesday to learn of his smashing victory in Monday\u2019s municipal voting in Hinchinbrooke which returned him as mayor with 640 votes against 45 for Laurent Cartier of Davignon Park.* For Wilson, Ayrshire breeder and dairy farmer of Hinchinbrooke\u2019s First Concession, it was a return to office for the seventh time.This makes him the longest sitting mayor in the Chateauguay Valley.Prior to becoming mayor in 1963 he was a councilman after his first election to office in 1952.The vote was possibly the heaviest on record for any single seat, Hinchinbrooke Municipal Secretary Lyell Graham told The Gleaner.In Hinchinbrooke Mayor Wilson was due to arrive late Tuesday after attending the World Conference of Ayrshire Breeders in Scotland these past three weeks.But, for the Council Secretary Lyell Graham said: \u201cThe results must give the Council a pretty good feeling.At least it 66 Châteauguay St., Huntingdon, Qc, JOS 1HO Teol.: 450.264.5364 -

The show dates are December 13, 14 and 15 (matinee and evening) with a special preview show for students in grades 6 on December 12.Tickets are already selling quickly, so reserve yours by calling

his life early last week along Rte.138 in Ormstown, a kilometre east of Rte.201.According to police information, a car collided with a heavy truck coming in the opposite direction late in the afternoon on November 12.Towards 5 p.m., the car was travelling east as a semitrailer transporting rolls of paper approached from the opposite direction.The tragedy occurred when the driver of the car tried to pass a vehicle in front of him.\u201cThe motorist lost control, resulting in a head- on collision with the truck,\u201d explained Agent Ronald McInnis, spokesperson for the Montérégie Sûreté du Québec (SQ).The two vehicles were found in the ditch.According to McInnis, the car was wedged under the tractor trailer.The accident victim is Jean-Sébastien Billette, a Longueuil resident.The 38- year-old man died on impact.His body was taken to the Barrie Memorial Hospital in Ormstown.The truck driver is a 46-year-old Ormstown resident.He escaped with only minor injuries.It took considerable time to pull the two vehicles from the ditch.A tow truck was necessary to remove the tractor trailer from the car.A backhoe was also needed at the scene.SQ agents from the Haut St-Laurent detachment and accident scene experts have opened an investigation.Heavily damaged, the car and semitrailer were subjected to complete inspections.Collision Also in Ormstown, a second collision involving two vehicles occurred the very next day toward 3 p.m., injuring two.The accident took place when a car travelling along Roy Street pulled onto Rte.138 after making an obligatory stop.It seems the driver did not see the other vehicle approaching the intersection, which made the accident unavoidable.The two drivers suffered minor injuries.They were a 22-year-old woman from Ormstown and a 50-year-old woman from Delson.Both were taken by ambulance to the Suroit Hospital in Valleyfield.Two all-terrain vehicles reported stolen in the Haut St-Laurent Two Polaris all-terrain vehicles were reported stolen last week in the Haut St- Laurent.The first theft was reported November 11 in Ormstown, after an ATV was stolen from a garage adjacent to a home.The thief seized the vehicle after gaining access to the garage through a side door.The vehicle is a yellow 2001 model, with an estimated value of $5,000.A second ATV also mysteriously disappeared from the shed of a home in Très-St-Sacrement.The theft was reported to the Sûreté du Québec the following day.It seems the individual succeeded in entering through the large front door before exiting with the red and blue vehicle, worth an estimated $4,000.Two people arrested for narcotics possession in St-Antoine-Abbé Two young individuals from St- Antoine-Abbé will face justice after being arrested for possession of narcotics for personal consumption on the evening of November 10.Two officers from the Haut St-Laurent detachment of the Sireté du Québec were carrying out their regular patrol at around 8 p.m., when they perceived a car with two passengers inside stopped in the parking lot of the St-Antoine-Abbé Community Centre.When police approached the occupants of the vehicle, they had reason to believe they both had small quantities of hashish and marijuana with them, ready for consumption.An 18-year-old man and a teenager were arrested and later released by way of summons to wait to find out what the legal system has in store for them.www.budgetpropane.com @ 683, chemin Larocque, Valleyfield Firemen from Huntingdon, Godmanchester, and Hinchinbrooke had to use the Jaws-of-Life to free the driver from this van.This accident occurred Monday evening, November 19, around 9 p.m.at the intersection of Henderson Street and Fairview Road in Huntingdon.The driver of the van which was traveling north on Route 202 in Hinchinbrooke, hit a semi-trailer that was turning on Fairview Road from Henderson Street.The driver of the semi-trailer, owned by Michael Murphy Transport, was uninjured.Luc Allen

ay] 6 » November 21, 2007 » The Gleaner Recyc-Québec publishes and advisory in favour of reusable bags REINER RV a For the past few days, the media has generally made much of the \u201cbeneficial\u201d effects of using traditional plastic bags instead of compostable or biodegradable bags.\u201cIn reading the variety of articles on the question, one has the impression that this is an apology for the traditional bag.This is a trap,\u201d remarked Huntingdon\u2019s mayor, Stéphane Gendron.\u201cWhat the press has generally neglected to mention is that Recyc- Québec has also published a very favourable opinion of reusable bags, and this is the definitive key to reducing the source of pollution caused by traditional plastic bags.On the second page of its advisory, one can read about these bags: \u201cDespite the environmental impacts associated with their production, such as the extraction of non-renewable resources (petroleum products and natural gas) for woven plastic bags, or intensive culture for cotton bags, reusable bags are regarded as being the environmental choice, after at- source reduction, to respond to the problem of shopping bags.\u201d The Town of Huntingdon also deplores the lack of information in the media on the question of compostable or bio-degradable bags.\u201cWe are allowed to believe that these bags are more harmful than traditional plastic bags.We need to be careful about what is being suggested.In a framework of organic material collection, these bags could be returned to mature without a problem.Obviously, we need to change our habits in consequence.And with our environmental obligations, everything becomes a question of habits to modify and adopt.Why make an issue of this one story?\u201d asked Mayor Gendron.\u201cWith respect to environmental issues, the most difficult change is attitudes.The debates of the last few days are undermining the efforts of municipalities trying to eliminate, as much as possible, the production and circulation of traditional plastic bags by adopting prohibitive measures,\u201d concluded Mayor Gendron.Birth and Deaths Cand of Thanks, In Memoriams, Engagements GRUER, Wilbert - In

la promotion des saines habitudes de vie auprès de ses 124 élèves.l\u2019école Saint- Jean de Howick a reçu la semaine dernière la certification ISO-ACTIF de niveau «bronze» de I\u2019Association régionale du sport étudiant du Richelieu (ARSER).«Lobtention de cette accréditation le 13 novembre représente le couronnement de près de plus d\u2019un an d\u2019efforts constants de la part des jeunes, des enseignants, des membres du personnel et de la direction de l\u2019institution», a fait savoir la directeur de l\u2019institution, François Robichaud.Lancé à travers l\u2019ensemble des maisons d\u2019enseignement des niveaux primaire et secondaire du Québec, ce programme d\u2019accréditation s\u2019intègre à un des critères de la stratégie «Une école en forme et en santé» du ministère de l\u2019Education.De plus, il permet d\u2019évaluer les initiatives des établissements visant à donner aux jeunes de saines habitudes de vie, dont la pratique régulière d\u2019activités physiques, une saine alimentation et la prévention du tabagisme.«ISO-ACTIF est avant tout un programme de reconnaissance pour stimuler le niveau d\u2019engagement des écoles dans la lutte à la sédentarité chez les jeunes.Vous connaissez certainement le programme ISO 9002 des industries?Le programme ISO-ACTIF se compare à ce genre de programme mais pour l\u2019activité physique dans les écoles», souligne Louis Rodrigue, coordonnateur de l\u2019ARSER.Pour avoir bénéficier de la certification ISO-ACTIF, l\u2019école Saint-Jean n\u2019avait qu\u2019à entrer en contact avec l\u2019ARSER de sa région qui lui a adressé toute la documentation nécessaire.«L'école s\u2019est inscrite en septembre 2006.Nous nous sommes prêté à une autoéval- uation par le biais d\u2019un questionnaire que l\u2019ARSEF a envoyé.Nous l\u2019avons rempli le document et retourné le tout à l\u2019organisme, qui se chargée d\u2019attribuer la distinction correspondante au score obtenu», explique M.Robichaud.Selon M.Rodrigue, plusieurs critères sont prises en considération afin de fixer le niveau rattaché à l\u2019attribution de l\u2019accréditation ISO-ACTIF Elles s'appuient sur les politiques de l\u2019école en sport et en activités physiques, la participation de l\u2019institution à un programme appelé «Gym en forme», l\u2019implication dans les activités proposées par l\u2019ARSER, la promotion d\u2019une saine alimentation auprès des élèves, la lutte au tabagisme et plusieurs autres.En se soumettant à ces critères, l\u2019Association remet à l\u2019école, pour chaque année du programme, un autocollant de la couleur représentative de l\u2019un des quatre niveaux qu\u2019il a atteint, soit «excellence, or, argent ou bronze.Un certificat d\u2019accréditation ISO-ACTIF laminé La SADG lance le Fonds Réno-Façade pour les entrepreneurs La Société d\u2019aide au développement de la collectivité (SADC) vient de créer le Fonds Réno-Façade pour aider les entrepreneurs qui désirent rénover des façades extérieures de bâtiments commerciaux situés dans les municipalités ayant un plan d\u2019implantation et d'intégration architecturale (PILA).Ce programme de financement est offert aux propriétaires et aux locataires dont le commerce est situé dans certains secteurs des municipalités de Saint-Chrysostome, de Huntingdon, de Sainte-Martine, de Beauharnois et de Salaberry-de-Valleyfield.Ce dont vise principalement le Fonds Réno-Façade, c\u2019est d\u2019encourager la rénovation extérieure des bâtiments commerciaux afin de stimuler l\u2019activité économique.«Par des améliorations visuelles des commerces, nous espérons favoriser les revenus des entrepreneurs qui auront profité du Fonds Réno-Façade, et par la même occasion de stimuler l\u2019économie locale en faisant effectuer les travaux de rénovation par des entrepreneurs de la région », énonce Maurice Legault, président de la SADC du Suroît-Sud.Le type de financement offert est un prêt à l\u2019entreprise d\u2019un montant pouvant atteindre 25 000$ par projet de rénovation.Ce Fonds Réno-Façade peut également être complémentaire aux institutions financières.Les demandes recevables sont tous les projets qui améliorent l\u2019apparence du bâtiment en harmonie avec le secteur, notamment par la rénovation d\u2019une façade, d\u2019une enseigne, d\u2019un aménagement paysager et d\u2019un aménagement des vitrines.De plus, les entreprises éligibles au programme pourront bénéficier d\u2019une subvention non remboursable de 400$ pour la réalisation d\u2019une esquisse.Lorsqu\u2019une demande est faite auprès de la SADC, elle est analysée en tenant compte de la situation financière de l\u2019entreprise, des capacités entrepreneuriales et des retombées escomptées par le projet.Les demandes seront traitées par le comité d\u2019investissement, qui accordera ou non le prêt à l\u2019entreprise.L\u2019agente de mentorat d\u2019affaires et des communications de la SADC du Suroit-Sud, Natacha Marlier, a déjà présenté les grandes lignes de ce plan d\u2019aide auprès des directions des municipalités admissibles.À la lueur de ces rencontres, la
