Some 25 cm of wet snow fell with an almost audible thud on the Chateauguay Valley last Friday afternoon and overnight.It left roads clogged with slush, and about 2,300 households in the Valleyfield-Huntingdon-Ormstown sector without electricity for periods ranging from a few hours to almost a day and a half.: \u201cIt\u2019s certainly a record for the date,\u201d said Ormstown weatherman-farmer Peter Finlayson on Monday, when a warm sun was already making short work of the storm\u2019s residue.Finlayson said that when melted down, the precipitation totalled 66 mm of water or about two and a half inches.People with long memories hearkened back to 1963, when a May 10 snowstorm dumped approximately four or five inches of the white stuff on undeserving Valley residents.\u201cThat storm was later, but this one was bigger,\u201d Finlayson said.gr) Just one of dozens of cars to hit the ditch Friday; this one slid off Rte.132 near Ste-Barbe.(Photo: H.T.)

Joint effort to restore local riverbanks Money from Ottawa plus labor and equipment from local municipalities and others could combine to preserve and beautify sections of riverbank in several Valley communities, if a regional environmental group has its way.SCABRIC, a group working to preserve the whole Chateauguay River watershed area, is co-ordinating requests and pledges from at least five towns and villages, as well as other agencies, and preparing to ask for a matching grant of at least $50,000 under an Environment Canada program for a riverbank restoration project which could begin this summer.\u201c_ Pledges already made Over $36,000 worth of labor and equipment has already been promised by the municipalities of Huntingdon, .Ormstown Village, Howick, Ste-Martine Upcomin S.CATHE and Godmanchester, and the Chateauguay River Rehabilitation Committee (CRRC).Organizers of youth programs in the region have also sho interest in taking part.: \u201cOur goal for this year is to get pledges of at least $50,000, so we can ask the federal government for an equal grant to cover the purchase of young trees,\u201d said Serge Bourdon of SCABRIC.Summer start?\u201cDeadline for the grant application is May 1, and we should hear by July if it is approved.That would given us time to plant grass and trees until fall, and next year we could do even more.\u201d In charge of planning the project is urban planner Richard Ranger of Ste- Martine, who, Bourdon said, has experience with similar undertakings in different parts of the province.: (T2 g Auction INE PRIEST cultural projects, even when they respect all environmental norms.\u201cThe government only moves when pushed,\u201d said Penny Anderson, Chateauguay Valley syndicate secretary.Neil MacKay, a St-Urbain cash-cropper, believes the Agriculture Minister must now believe farmers are serious, considering the show of strength outside his office.See U.PA.Page 5 Full-day classes for Kindergarten to bring changes Funding from Quebec to help schools get ready for full-day kindergarten classes next fall will be divided among Valley schools according to need.The Chateauguay Valley School Board has received some $262,000 (out of $24 million allocated to the Montérégie) to enable five of its elementary schools to cope with the change from the current half-day system.Three of the five are in the Upper Valley and the other two in Chateauguay, CVSB director Keith Fitzpatrick told The Gleaner last week.\u201cval and ®rmstown elementary schools will receive amounts averaging $20,000, according to need, for adding such things as in-class washrooms and water supplies to existing classrooms.See SCHOOLS Page 5 Inside The Gleaner Chernobyl child will visit.Page6 Ham radio students graduate.Page 3 CVR girls win Quebec title .Page 9 This and That.Page 2 Letters.Page 4 Sports results .Page 9 Births, Deaths .Page 6 Classified ads .Page 13 SATURDAY APRIL 26TH AT 10:30 AM Auctioneer: Dean Hooker 434 Route 202 (Champlain St.), Hemmingford Complete household furnishings, including Apt.size piano, antique furniture and collectibles.See last weeks Gleaner for complete sing ORMSTOWN, (514) 829-3356 eyfield\u2019s Gault School, and Howick Te Pe WWW ae Ty ew a T4 rt ony a SE 2 7 aise Ae ES A CHANGE OF VENUE \u2014 has been announced for next Sunday\u2019s conference on regional water resources, sponsored by the Chateauguay River Rehabilitation © Committee and announced on the front 2 \u2014 THE GLEANER \u2014 APRIL 23TH 1997 page of last week's Gleaner.RATHER THAN AT C.V.R.\u2014 the information session, which runs from noon to 5 p.m., will be held at the Allan\u2019s Corners Battle of the Chateauguay Museum site.Simultaneous translation services will allow everyone to have a full grasp of material presented by three visiting experts, says Serge Bourdon of the CRRC, who is anxious to hear from more people who wish to attend.IT'S A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY \u2014 to learn more about an important local issue, without getting involved in emotional and heated debate over the merits of any particular project, says Bourdon.After presentations on various aspects of water management, participants will \u2018move into small workshop sessions for discussions.TIME IS SHORT \u2014 and the cost is minimal, so register for the day by calling 829-2029.IN ST-ANICET \u2014 a public meeting to discuss setting up a community youth centre will be held Tuesday Apr.29 at 8 p.m.at the Town Hall.Organizers are Denis Savard of the local Optimist Club;

Nature, by nature, is non-judgmental.The natural world does not manifest itself festooned with descriptive adjectives and moral judgments: we add all that stuff ourselves, coloring what simply is by comparing it with what we would like it to be or how we think it ought to behave.Take last weekend's unseasonal (see, we've started already) snowstorm.\u201cSurprising\u201d covers the first few hours as we perceived them.By suppertime, we could add \u201cbeautiful\u201d as we looked at the trees sparkling with the white stuff.Within a few more hours, however, \u201cinconvenient\u201d was turning into \u201cslightly sinister\u201d as the overburdened trees bent and cracked with the weight of almost a foot of soggy snow, causing power outages and hazardous driving.We never got as far as \u201cdisastrous\u201d or even \u201cscary\u201d and that\u2019s something to be thankful for (don't forget the floods out West), but for many Valley residents, a simple phrase like \u201ca pain in the whatever\u201d covers their personal reaction to thwarted weekend plans and an even longer wait for consistent spring weather.Meanwhile Nature, unaffected and undeterred, simply moved on to the next thing, not sweating the small stuff.FROM GLEANER ARCHIVES.120 years ago April 26, 1877 A fresh charge, petty from a monetary point of view tho\u2019 grave in a moral sense, bas been brought against Sir Jobn A.Macdonald.In 1868 there were a number of settlers in arrears Jor lands .To each of these defaulters a letter was sent, notifying them to pay up, and for each letter, a fee of $2.50 was exacted.The assertion is, that altho\u2019 these letters were written by the Government clerks .Macdonald, instead of paying the fees into the Treasury, put them in bis own pockets.The total sum so received by bim was $545.Sir Jobn's explanation of bis conduct bas not been given yet.The Late Wm.Rose \u2014 .this section of the county loses another of its old settlers.He came to Canada in the summer of 1834, when be settled on the farm in Hinchinbrooke wbereon 60 years ago he died.His descriptions of the country at the time be first saw it were striking when contrasted with what it is now.Tho\u2019 a well-read and sagacious man, he never took any part in public matters, and led a quiet, domestic life.In St.Andrews, be took a lively interest, and was one of it elders.In the success of bis eldest son, Sir Jobn Rose, be took a very natural pride.The imported Clyde horse Sir Colin was sold by auction in Huntingdon.The only bidders were Mr.and Mr Somerville, who run the price up to $1425, at which figure be was knocked down to the last named.Weather Report \u2014 The bighest daytime temperature was 77 degrees on April 24, while the lowest (at night) was 29 deg.on April 18, for

offers chance to support two linguistic boards On behalf of the CVR Orientation Committee, I am writing to enlist community support regarding the Minister of Education\u2019s recent proposal for the reorganization of school boards.The English community of the Chateauguay Valley has much to lose in this proposal which would create an immense school board stretching from Sorel to the Ottawa River.The Orientation Committee and members of the Council of Commissioners of the Chateauguay Valley School Board will be on hand at CVR's Open House, this Thursday, April 24, from 5 to 9:30 p.m., to share further information and provide copies of a letter for concerned citizens to sign and send to the Minister.The following is a copy of the letter: \u201cDear Mme Marois: \u201cAs a concerned parent in the Chateauguay Valley School Community, I support our school board\u2019s proposal for two English-language boards within the total area proposed by the ministry.This will ensure: * the quality of services rendered by a supportive and accessible school board that understands the needs of the rural community which it serves; * the ministry\u2019s initiative to empower the grassroots systems, as we, who best know the needs of our community, can\u201d better manage the government's proposed reorganization and cutbacks; * the continued involvement of the school community in school affairs, as the geographic area remains manageable and conductive to parental participation.\u201d If you wish to join us in our attempt to preserve the level of services in our community schools which we need and want, please make a point of stopping by our Open House.25 years of community help maintains Little Green Library The people of Huntingdon continue to support the Little Green Library, most recently, at a Brunch at the Royal Canadian Legion, where the public came in great numbers.The Library Volunteers, with the aid of many cooks and servers, made the Brunch a great financial success.The Little Green Library could not have existed for the past 25 years without help from many different sources, such as The Gleaner, which publishes write-ups of activities; and donations to the Memorial Fund, started by the Caldwell and Proudfoot families in 1977.Many people who gave interest-free loans to buy the present building, and the Many disbanded organizations donated their funds: the Maple Leaf Grange, International Order of Odd Fellows, Chateauguay Valley Pipe Band, Huntingdon Realities, and the first Meals on Wheels.Lately, the Huntingdon Women\u2019s

budget, the government of Quebec demands $2 billion in compensation from the federal government for harmonizing the QST with the GST.However, the Quebec government hasn't experienced losses in sales tax revenues that would qualify the province for assistance under the set formula.On the contrary, since harmonizing the QST with the GST in 1990, the Quebec government's sales tax revenues have been higher every year than before harmonization.Here are the revenue numbers from the Quebec government's own public accounts: YEAR REVENUES 1989-90 $5.1 billion 1991-92 $6.2 billion 1992-93 $6.0 billion 1993-94 $5.5 billion 1994-95 $5.4 billion 1995-96 $5.6 billion (source: Public Accounts, Government of Quebec) *Year of harmonization In light of these numbers, is it reasonable for the Quebec

decision on railbeds With reference to the debate over the fate of the disused rail lines of the MRC du Haut-St-Laurent: I question the position taken by the majority of MRC mayors during their March meeting (to support the farmers in their desire to recover the land for agricultural use).Without attacking the rights of the farmers, | believe it is more important to develop our tourist industry with a bicycle trail on the right-of-way.How many farmers would be affected by this trail compared to the number of MRC residents and visitors from elsewhere who would use such a safe facility?Paving shoulder of some rural roads, as some have suggested, would leave cyclists vulnerable to high-speed drivers and loose dogs.This is a chance to offer people an accessible leisure activity.it would be interesting to know how any people in this MRC own a bicycle, but don\u2019t dare to use it for safety reasons, even though cycling is Quebec\u2019s most popular sport.As a fresh-air lover and former MRC council member, I would ask the mayors to consult the wishes of the population at large before taking a final decision.There is no rural-urban conflict here as cyclists can be found in all sectors of the population.It's about serving the needs of the majority, and helping to develop our _tourist industry.And I'm convinced that many farmers would benefit from a trail as well.The neighboring MRCs of Beauharnois- Salaberry, Vaudreuil and Jardins de Napierville are setting up bicycle trails.It would be too bad if visitors had to turn.back without enjoying the beauties of the Haut-St-Laurent because of a lack of an adequate trail.I can only hope the mayors will consult the population they represent, after which their decision will be respected by everyone.Gérald Pinsonneault Ste-Barbe Departure of councillors is a threat to local democracy The basis of our democratic system was threatened at the April meeting of Franklin Council when two councillors walked out of the session, leaving it short of a quorum.Ironically, a Radio-Canada free-lancer, Mme.Anctil, who said she was preparing a story on municipal democracy, also left early and missed the sorry spectacle.The departures marked a dereliction of the duty of all councillors to vote either for or against a motion, but to vote.The result is that the vote on the proposed zoning change enabling the Aquaterra plan to go ahead was once more postponed.If this trend were to continue, the municipality would be literally paralyzed.The saddest part of the story is the message being sent out to businesses interested in investing in this area.How many more such \u201cscenes\u201d must we witness before the company goes somewhere else?The development of our region is in the hands of our elected officials.We wish they would hurry up and make some democratic decisions.Yvan Marcil St-Antoine-Abbé IN MEMORIAM MacDONELL, Jason Alexander - In loving memory of our little son and brother, April 26, 1983.We know

Rennie\u2019s Church fund-raising for Chernobyl child's holiday Sunday, April 6 began with sun which quickly changed to rain, but this did not deter the congregation of Rennie\u2019s United Church in their fundraiser held at Herb and Brenda Larocque\u2019s Sugar Shanty at Beavermeadow Farm on the Ridge Road.Everyone pitched in for a 9 a.m.start with a menu of baked beans, sausages, muffins, scrambled eggs, pancakes, Johnny cake, syrup and drinks.About 100 adults and 15 children showed up to down a hearty breakfast.Herb and Brenda Larocque were thrilled to receive a $1,000 cheque to put towards the expenses of sponsoring a Chernobyl orphan who will be coming to their farm for six weeks this summer.To top off the day, donated gifts were raffled off.Winners were: Florence Blouin, Leahy basket; Linda Craig, Grant's cake; Douglas Grant, Grant's Fruitcake; Jill Frier, Beavermeadow Maple Box; Natalie Wattie, CD donated by April Donnelly; Chris MacGregor, Chez Gail candy; Muriel Hamilton, Chez Deb candle.The worthwhile day was spent helping a young orphan to come for a visit which could very well extend his/her lifetime, with our clean fresh air and water to strengthen their immune system.Those who donated time and/or gifts were thanked; the day was such a success, it may just become an annual event, like the Strawberry Social.Should anyone wish to contribute towards the Chernobyl orphan, please mail a donation to Jill Frier, 2365 Route 202, Hinchinbrooke, JOS 1A0.Cheques should be made out to Rennie\u2019s United Church - Chemobyl fund.\u2014 J.Frier BMH annual quilt block contest marks 10th anniversary in 1997 Greeting members of the Barrie Memorial Hospital Women\u2019s Auxiliary as they entered the hall for the annual meeting on Thursday, Apr.17 was the 1997 Raffle Quilt \u201cFurry Friends\u201d, suitable for a wall-hanging or on a bed.Shirley Sutherland was hostess, for four weeks in January, to quite a collection of quilters.Joan Knox co-ordinated quilting days, when laughs and advice on many subjects were shared in the spirit of quilting bees of yesteryear.Lynn Templeton finished off the job by binding the quilt.Although the front of the quilt is beautiful, the back is equally gorgeous, showing all the quilting patterns.As in other years, this quilt will be raffled at the Christmas Bazaar sponsored by the Auxiliary each November.Tickets will be on sale starting in August at the Walshaven Flower Show; at Havelock Fair, and in various other Valley locations.Ten years ago, finding someone to donate each year\u2019s raffle quilt was becoming increasingly difficult.The idea of a quilt-block contest sparked awareness of this project, and the \u201cone-woman contribution\u201d has allowed many, many members to participate.Contributions have come from hundreds of people to date, from all comers \u201cof the Chateauguay Valley and from afar, from beginners to very advanced quilters.Each year, the actual quilting has been done by a \u201cvolunteer\u201d group from the community.A different theme is chosen each year.There have been Sunbonnets, flowers, stars, boats and birds, hearts and hearth.The theme chosen for the 1997 Quilt Block Contest to celebrate the 10th anniversary is \u201cChristmas in July\u201d.Deadline for entries is August 1.Blocks must measure 12-1/2 inches (which includes the 1/4 inch seam allowance).They may be pieced, appliquéd or embroidered.The pattern must have a Christmas theme such as angels, Santa, trees, snowmen, stars, etc.or must use Christmas print fabric.Questions can be directed to Sharon Rember (829-2408).Entries are already coming in; join the celebration.\u2014 S.Rember/JM.Dessert was served on Wednesday, Mar.19 by Gerry Pilon and Gladys Clark when members of the Presbyterian Ladies Group met at Dorothy Wright's.President Gerry Pilon opened the meeting with a reading \u201cThe Good Shepherd\u201d.Thelma Peddie led in Devotions and

and indicate that there is a Mutual Aid repeater erected on Covey Hill, Hinchinbrooke says.The municipality intends to prioritize road repair projects and pave a total of 10 kilometres this summer; a committee will have its list ready for the May council meeting.Hinchinbrooke will meet with representatives of Red Cross and Civil Protection groups which want to recruit volunteers locally.(V.F) some

mainly the same few people now audit council meetings.Howick Village will pay its share for three volunteer firemen to attend a Scott Air-Pack training course, and two new potential firemen, Yanick

outstanding job in all the games, Craig continued.| Retaining the reputation of being Quebec's No.1 team started with a easy win with all team members playing against Ecole Paul-Hubert, the host school.CVR won 79-36; high scorers were Kim Parisien and Melissa Downing with 15 points, Tamara Faubert, 12 pts., and Lopez, 11 pts.High scorers in the second game | against ECHD from Rimouski were Lopez | with 22, Elizabeth Brooks, 16, Downing, 9.The final score was 71-36.Montreal\u2019s St-Exupery-St-Leonard team in the semi-finals provided the Lady Spartans a challenging first half before the girls pulled ahead and won 52-38.High scorers were Faubert, 13, Lopez and Brooks with 10 each.\u201cNever have I seen the girls so pumped for a game as they were when they played the final game against Maurice Ecole Du Rocher from Grand-Mére,\u201d Craig said.\u201cFrom start to finish the girls ran.It was their absolute best game this year,\u201d she added.\u201cCVR destroyed the second-best high school team in Quebec 73-36, when Brooks dumped in 24 points, Lopez added 19 and Faubert, 11.\u201cOur senior point-guard controlled each game with her style and discipline; Rebecca McCaig and Carlee Neal also did great jobs as point-guards,\u201d Craig continued.Younger players, Kelly Faubert, Candace Rennie, Penny Vaincourt, Arley Whyte and Christina Caza (brought up for the provincials) added greatly to the victory, both on the floor playing and cheering on their teammates.And Cory Shearer is the best manager any team could have, members agreed.\u2014 Faye Craig/V.F.BE
