only one failed to pass.Two important issues affecting local farmers are the lack of modernized telephone services and the illegal marijuana plantations on farmland.See U.PA.Page 11 Inside The Gleaner Sports news, results.Pages 8,9 Sky-diving thrill of a lifetime .Communic-Action Open House.Page 6 This and That.Page 2 Letters.Page 4 Births, Deaths .Page 6 Classified ads .Page 12 Auctions .Page 11 éjss [IY Cee 4 + 4 #4 Moulées Feeds DUNDEE 3418 MTEE SMALLMAN DUNDEE, 264-5970 sor \u20ac 8: + « 2 \u2014 THE +uLANER \u2014OCTOBER 8TH 1997 re SEPTEMBER'S WEATHER \u2014 was pretty well on normal, we're told, with an average temperature of 14.6° C.and rainfall of 95 mm (about three inches).With no killing frost as of month\u2019s end in the Ormstown area at least, Peter Finlayson reported an accumulated total of 2,808 as of September 30, a bit below average.But surprisingly, says Peter, the com is more mature than that figure would indicate, although moisture was still a bit high for those not crib-drying.The last few days should have helped soybeans also to dry out a bit more, Peter said Monday.HUNTERS \u2014 who bag a large game animal (deer, moose, etc.) can now register their catch at any of four locations in the region, rather than having to go to Grande-Ile as usly.The Balbuzards Fish and Game Club of Ste- Martine, along with two other groups, has arranged for registrations to be made at Himbault Gib-ier in St- Stanislas-de-Kostka (377-1128);

It is a privilege which can be removed if you break the law.Stopping drunk driving means stopping about 400 new victims a year in Quebec being added to the statistics of premature avoidable deaths.Fatal accidents happen most often during the summer season when the roads are open and inviting.Fall prolongs the pleasures of \u201cla belle saison\u201d but also its risks.Police will continue the summer surveillance activities and road-blocks.Drivers beware, during October, the police will be watching you, for your and your family\u2019s safety.REGIE REGIONALE ( DE LA SANTÉ ET DES SERVICES SOCIAUX MONTEREGIE DIRECTION DE LA SANTE PUBLIQUE 5 = VE RS AT ag A 3 FROM BABY SHOES TO WORK BOOTS e Sport * Comfort * Classic * Work AR NEY y | 5 53 5 5 fe PAN AN 4 Dé P EE : k A fb Zk 7 M8; FS a : 4 = P ES Ho 4 tN 5 È J Ë i : A 18 2 , LN 5 A Fs a Roel cos A M » Ladies © Mens © Children > [SAMPLES AT UNBEATABLE PRICES # Hurry!

IN THE MIND\u2019S EYE On Monday morning, as we drove through the suburbs of Huntingdon on our way to work, we're pretty sure we saw a woman going through curbside garbage bags.That's right: not putting out the garbage, but investigating the contents of someone else\u2019s trash.We say \u201cpretty sure\u201d because we did- n't stop to check it out, and the possibility exists that she wasn't actually hunting for food (or whatever) in the grimy depths of the green plastic bag.But the moment froze in time, and the image that stayed with us afterwards was a facsimile of other images we have seen in newspapers, viewed on television, heard described on radio: urban street - people, down-and-outers, even the Great Depression of the 1930s.Pictures of other times, other places.Especially other places.Not here: can something like this really happen here?The answer of course is yes; we would be naive to think otherwise.It is possible, here and now, to slip through the safety nets of family, community, government, churches, what-have-you, and to end up checking out garbage.It\u2019s Thanksgiving time, at least for some of us, but maybe it should also be a \u201cthoughtsgiving

GLEANER (1985) LTEE GENERAL MANAGER; ANDRE CASTAGNIER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: JUDITH TAYLOR EDITORIAL STAFF: VALERIE FURCALL, HUGUES THEORET 7 The Board of Directors of the Chateauguay Valley syndicate of the UPA is appealing to all producers affected by the abandoned rail lines, their sympathetic neighbors and to our fellow producers to lend support for our request that the land be returned to the farmers where it is a question of prime farm land.It is pure obstinacy on the part of the promoters to insist on passing through the best farm land in the area when an alternate route is possible which would be more than fair and suitable and would keep everyone happy.The idea that farmers do not want a bike trail has been bandied about quite freely when the exact opposite is the truth.Farmers and their families do as much biking and hiking as possible in their leisure time and would like to see a pleasant trail in a secure environment for themselves as well as for other residents and visitors.Remember, the farmers are only against the insistence of the promoters that their plan is the only conceivable one.In a democracy, it is usual to consult and respect everyone\u2019s opinion even a farmer\u2019s There will be an MRC meeting in Huntingdon on Wednesday, Oct.8.It would be greatly appreciated if producers would attend in large numbers and not leave the floor entirely to the bike trail promoters.Farmers have the right to be heard.Please avail yourself of your right and be there.As they say, \u201cSpeak now or forever hold year peace.\u201d The syndicate has worked long and hard on this dossier for over 10 years.We ask that you attend a few meetings (the MRC on October 8 and your local council meeting) and reaffirm your position.The MRC has four times made it clear that returning the land to the farmers is its position, only to be told by the government that they have to change their resolution to conform with other MRCs.Is that what democracy and the will of the people is?Your attendance at meetings, letters and phone calls to mayors and MRC officials as well as your MNA are more than appropriate at this time.Penny Anderson Chateauguay Valley UPA

\u201cWe tried to meet with MOT officials, but they didn\u2019t even return our calls,\u201d Brunette said.The citizens\u2019 delegation that the situation is not only affecting business, but angering clients still further since their cars are being ticketed when they stop in front of the businesses affected.The store-owners repeated request that the section of the street be once again made one-way in order to restore parking on both sides has been rejected by Transport officials because it would make the street too narrow for heavy truck trdf- fic.Wilson property One possible solution raised at the meeting would see the Town rent the nearby vacant lot belonging to M.Wilson, resurface it with gravel, and use it as a parking lot accommodating about 30 cars.The idea involves renting the lot for five years for a token $1.In return, the Town would pay municipal.and school taxes on the land.When it came to a vote, the council split down the middle, and mayor Brunette cast the deciding vote, in favor of the idea.Next step is a study of the property and the costs involved in the work.(HT/.T) Clinics.from page 1 The schedule is: St-Anicet (Fire Hall): Monday Nov.3, 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.Howick
