The event was part of a drug eradication project headed by the Orleans Country Sheriff’s Department and funded through the federal government. For more information see Thursday's Express. |

DERBY LINE/ STANSTEAD, QUE., Problems in the economy have hit the Haskell Library and Opera House hard. Library hours have been cut back and the famous opera house, once featured in the A&E made-for-television movie “Barnum,” can now be rented for private use in an attempt to save the historic building.
Talks of closing the Opera House took place about two years ago. The endowment, which was to be used to support the building, had been invested and was almost completely lost when the stockmarket fell, but a tremendous movement was undertaken to save the Haskell.
