Final figures show that over half the eligible voters province-wide turned out for English-language school board elections on Sunday \u2014 an absolutely unheard-of turnout.Taking our voting privileges seriously is becoming a way of life for more and more people, as we realize the consequences public apathy can bring.If you believe in something, you darn well have to get out there and vote for it.Now, even though some court challenges are being mounted against the methods used to facilitate the switch from confessional to linguistic boards, it seems more than likely the new school board configuration will be in force starting July 1.KEEP THE BALL ROLLING There will also be new governing councils for each school, wielding a t deal of decision-making power at the focal level (more than current school and parent committees).On these councils will be parents and community representatives as well as educators.So continuing the impetus will mean taking a more active rôle in education on a daily basis, whether by serving on a council or committee, or by letting the appropriate people know what you need and how you feel about your schools.The shaking-up and waking-up we have all undergone for the school board vote doesn't need to stop now.Making participation a habit can only be a good thing.gn FROM GLEANER ARCHIVES.120 years ago June 13, 1878 .a robbery, under

Local officials \u201cpowerless\u201d to stop increase in municipal tax burden 1 feel this information is relevant to all taxpayers in the 15 municipalities of the MRC Haut-St-Laurent, as well as other residents of small municipalities (fewer than 5,000 people) in Quebec.This year Quebec's Municipal Affairs minister Rémy Trudel passed on a $375 million bill to payers of property taxes.This is highway robbery since small municipalities pay 5.8 per cent of the municipal budget while two of the province's six big cities pay only 2.6 per cent and on top of that will get grants of from $25-50,000 from a new tax on cellular phones.As well, Trudel plans to cut transfer payments ($287 million or $103 per inhabitant)) to those small municipalities which refuse to amalgamate according to his plan.At the same time he awards $407 million or $161 per inhabitant to big cities and urban communities.Why is the government picking on small regional municipalities?Minister Trudel has been saying he wouldn't use coercive measures, but this is not true \u2014 he is blackmailing our property-owners.Elected municipal officials are the creatures of the provincial government; we cannot push for greater fairness all by ourselves.We need your total support to sto: Quebec constantly picking on small municipalities (and on you, as taxpayers).I would ask you to register a protest by writing
