was set Police are questioning a 16-year-old Huntingdon youth in connection with a fire which they believe was deliberately set in the Huntingdon Chateau Sunday afternoon.The blaze, which broke out on the second floor at the rear of the building around 2 p.m., originated in a pile of garbage in one of the hotel rooms, police said.Working quickly to prevent the spread of the fire, Huntingdon firemen under chief Jacques Leduc were joined by brigades from Godmanchester, Hinchinbrooke, Ste-Barbe and Malone, which brought its hook-and-ladder equipment to reach high up the exterior of the building.The interior of the boarded-up building has already been damaged by vandals, and repairs to exterior masonry began only last week.Huntingdon\u2019s Château, long removed from its historic glory days as one of the region\u2019s prime hotels, has sunk into decrepitude in recent years, following its closure and sale to a series of owners.Now the current owner, Lucien Dandurand of Ormstown, has put contractors to work repairing concrete and masonry as well as patching up damages caused by vandals inside the building.The work, he says, should be completed by Christmas time, but Dandurand is remaining closed- mouthed about any plans for use or sale of the historic structure.(Photo: JT) COVERING HUNTINGDON, ORMSTOWN, HEMMINGFORD, HOWICK, CHATEAUGUAY, FRANKLIN, ST-ANICET, STE-BARBE,

from the wrong school board (Gleaner staff) Admitting only that their recent move to new head offices in Beauharnois \u201cdidn\u2019t help matters\u201d , officials of the Vallée des Tisserands School Commission blamed \u201cadministrative error\u201d for the mailing out of some 1,000 school tax bills to anglophones last week.Their phone lines and those of the English-language New Frontiers board office in Chateauguay were jammed last Tuesday and Wednesday with calls from irate anglophone tax-payers who received tax bills from the French-language school board even though they had made the switch to English-language lists last spring.Officials of both school boards took a relaxed approach to the error, saying they had previously agreed to take \u201ca flexible approach\u201d to billing errors up until next December.\u201cLast week we sent out about 35,000 tax bills, of which about 1,000 went to anglophone taxpayers,\u201d said Jean Beauchamp, former director-general of the Huntingdon Catholic School Commission, and now a senior administrator at the Vallée des Tisserands commission's head office in Beauharnois.While the remedy for the error consists in either mailing the bills back to the Vallée des Tisserands with a note stating Pupils at Huntingdon Academy seemed delighted to be back in school on Tuesday Sept.1, when outdoor activities included disco dancing and team competitions during the lunch break.Teacher Diane Lazure (left) and principal Lindsay Baker (right), along with the rest of the staff, were helping the kids get into the swing of things.(Photo:

bicycle tour, organizers are inviting local people to get involved by helping out as volunteers or at least by turning out to enjoy the festivities at Huntingdon\u2019s Arthur Pigeon School, starting and finishing point for the cyclists.Three routes, from 60 to 100 kilometers in length, have been laid out to show off not only the heavily-laden apple trees but also scenic attractions and points of historical interest such as the site of the Athelstan cheese factory and Powerscourt covered bridge.The history of the orchards themselves dates from the early 19th century when the early settlers brought along apple seeds in their baggage.+ taxes 40 kg Back at the school grounds, rock band The Healers will perform under a tent in a bistro atmosphere.Admission is free for anyone wishing to drop by.While the cyclists are traveling through apple country and taking rest stops in local orchards, they can participate in an \u201capple questionnaire\u201d.Bags of rosy apples will be awaiting them at the end of the day as a souvenir of their visit to the region, which is the warmest area in Quebec, boasting 10 per cent of the province's apple trees.Anyone wishing to take part, either as a cyclist or as a volunteer is asked to call 264-5411.gn the intention to pay taxes to New Frontiers, or calling the French board at 1- 877-225-2788, the situation angered and confused many residents,

begins to blanket the Valley, turning our thoughts inward and our toes toward the woodstove \u2014 but Havelock Fair is a special bookmark reminding us of the turning pages of the seasons.It is easy to wax rhapsodic about the first Saturday after Labor Day because the Fair itself is so unpretentious and so consistent.We don't look for \u201cspecial attractions\u201d or \u201cheadline performers\u201d at Havelock.We remain secure in the knowledge that's this year\u2019s giant pumpkin will be in the same place (to the left of the door in the crops building) as it has been as long as we can .The goats and the chickens will be installed at the \u201cback\u201d of the grounds, along with the cattle, and the many of the same local musicians will be playing their hearts out as the people line up for the midday meal.Enduring things are harder and harder to find in these days when change is so often mistaken for progress.We need to keep some experiences which interlock precisely with those of our grandparents and those of our children.And this is the special attraction of Havelock Fair.an FROM GLEANER ARCHIVES .120 years ago September 5, 1878 ORMSTOWN COUNCIL .A.C.Brown, road

assistants.This year\u2019s theme was \u201cSonlight Island,\u201d with the gym transformed into a tropical island.On Monday morning the group learned about God's love, and made baskets and buttons as crafts.Over the next four days the youngsters learned about how God would like us to love one another and what exactly love is.A song with a calypso beat taught the rest of the week\u2019s Bible verses, found in I Corinthians 13:4-7.Different people in the Bible showed that kind of love to others.The group Bits & DEATHS made a Christmas decoration, a stained- glass votive candle holder, and decorated a wooden plaque with verses about love.On Friday during craft time, the children beaded bracelets and learned what the different colors represented.The Howick business community, as well as the local churches, supported this endeavor for the kids in Howick.The churches and business donate funds as well as cookies, juice boxes, sound systems, moral support, and encouragement, making it
