The road, a connecting route between Highway 24.i and Glen Mountain, is virtually riddled with potholes and broken sections of pavement.In addition, there's a hazardous heave in the road surface not far from the 243 intersection.Last year the town was successfully sued by a motorist whose car was damaged by a large pothole nearthatsame section of roadway."The Glen Road's in bad shape and needs a major rebuilding.” said John Rhicard.the municipality’s road inspector.WARNING FLAG He added that a warning flag had been installed at the site of the bump on the roadway, to alert motorists to the potential danger.“There’s also a sign very close to there that advises of a stop sign coming up at the highway intersection," he said in an interview.“If anyone hits that bump at a high speed, it's their problem." Rhicard said a number of factors had contributed to the Glen Road situation this year.Among them were the unusual winter conditions whereby alternating thaws and freeze-ups added to road damage."The road had more traffic to contend with too," he pointed out."There was construction in the area, which means more trucks had to use the Glen to reach various building and development sites.And.while I don't think Glen Mountain had that great a winter from a skiing standpoint, bus traffic going back and forth with the skiers might also have been a factor." TIME OF THE ESSENCE Commenting on the provincial government's much-publicized intention to make roads a municipal responsibility, Rhicard said time was of the essence in getting repairs done.“If West Bolton eventually got all the roads to look after, it’d be to our advantage to have them fixed beforehand," he said.Under the present set-up.the government handles some major repairs.Rhicard could not estimate what the dollar figure might be in getting the roads into decent condition .But it would probably be subs-tantial."We also need repairs to other roads in the municipality,” he no- ted.mentioning Brill.Argyle and Mizener.among others.There was also damage to the Bailey Road, caused by truck traffic when the government put gravel on an adjoining surface last fall.Because some sections of road in this sprawling area may be the maintenance responsibility of certain other municipal authorities, steps had been taken to advise all concerned.Copies of the letter to the Transport Ministry had also been sent to appropriate officials in neighboring communities.Rhicard said WINTER JOB “In winter we look after everything." he explained.“In summer.a number of our roads are maintained by neighboring towns like Waterloo and Cowansville for the province.” During the past winter.West Bolton was responsible for plowing some 67.65 km's of roadway.Its subsidy from the provincial government for that was $61,178.Rhicard.at 36 the youngest and most recent member of council, also has to deal with illegally parked cars that block roads in the community .Anumberof such incidents occurred this past winter, and prevented snow-clearing crews from doing their job.“The worst was during the first winter snowstorm last Novem- ber," Rhicard recalled."The hunting season was still on at the time, and cars were parked everywhere.The plows couldn't get through.” The problem was aggravated later in the winter when skiers and others parked near intersections, causing more grief for snow-removal crews and general traffic.NEW BYLAW In January of this year, council adopted Bylaw 274 which bans parking a vehicle in West Bolton so that it obstructs traffic or hinders work on roadways.Rhicard.the recipient of such road complaints, proposed the bylaw's adoption at a town meeting and was promptly made responsible for enforcing it.He’s also empowered to “move a motor vehicle or to cause it to be moved, in the case of snow removal or other mu nicipal road work." “What I do is fill out a standard infraction form, giving the nature of the infraction, the amount of the line to be assessed, and things like that." he said.There’s a careful line to be observed when it comes to towing vehicles away, though “Discretion will have to be used in cases like that." Rhicard maintains.A couple of other things might influence the new law.too.One is the fact that West Brome seems to have backed into an unprofitable arrangement with the court in neighboring Waterloo, in regard to the processing of cases.COURT COSTS Waterloo, in addition to a $200-a-ï year affiliation fee.charges this ï municipality $25 a case for court handling of bylaw infractions.The local parking fine under Bylaw 274 is $10.West Bolton, therefore, will be paying out two-and-a-half times what it takes in.every time a parking ticket is issued.The municipality is currently considering ways and means of balancing those figures.It wouldn't help to try to get the provincial police, who are technically responsible for local law en forcement to take over the issuing of parking tickets either.Rhicard says.They don't handle calls involving cars unless an accident has happened or in cases where a car has been abandoned for several days.The second bugaboo concerns the posting of signs advising motorists of the new parking restrictions.Such signs might have to be put up throughout this extensive municipality.Costs would then be prohibitive.“Some of the ones who violate the parking laws probably don't even know they're in West Bolton." said Rhicard during the recent interview.He went on to add.however, that municipalities are protected by law s that apply to them in general and which are fully backed up by government authority IN OTHER MATTERS.• Council has accepted Town of Brome Lake's offer ot fire protection for 1991.The cost: $12.838.80.Last year West Bolton had only $7000 worth of fires.Councillor Donald Badger suggested the municipality request TBL to carry any credit over to the following year.• A dispute involving the closing of Quilliams Road back in 1965.and which has affected land held by some local residents, is a step closer to solution.Agreements are saidto've been received from Stanley and Robert Quilliams.giving a right-of-way across part of Quilliams Road to the residents involved.Robert Quilliams is a councillor and pro-Mayor for West Bolton.• The accounting firm of Raymond.Chabot.Martin & Pare have been appointed auditors for this municipality for the year 1991.SMART SHOPPER DISCOUNT GROCERIES DAILY SPECIALS Everyday Low Prices Thanks to our Quebec shoppers for your patronage JCappy taster 97 Main Street Richford, Vermont S 802-848-7503 Hows: t a.*, to 4 y.*.Open: 7 days a weak B4—The RKCORD—Thursday, March 28.1991 Eastern Townships captured in book by Lucinda Fisher Lucinda Fix her says she wanted to write a hook that would he educational, hut flin.RKCORIMiRANT SIMhON By Sharon McCully KNOWLTON — Sugaring-off in the Eastern Townships will soon be captured in a colorfully illustrated book for children written by Knowlton writer Lucinda Fisher."Maple sugaris so Canadian and there's so little of that tradition available in print for young people.” Fisher said in an interview this week.“I wanted to write a book that would be educational, but fun." she said."Something bright and lively that would capture the imagination." .Fisher sent her first draft to some 20 different Canadian publishers before one bit."It's tough to get a book published in Canada." she said "It took four years.You get discouraged but you have to keep plugging." PAiu off Fisher's determination paid off when Boston Mills Press in Erin.Ont., an award winning publishing house for educational books, liked both the concept and the approach adopted to tell the story.The publisher dispatched John deVisser.one of Canada's top photographers.to capture the essence of maple sugar season in the Eas-tren Townships.DeVisser is no stranger to things Canadian.The former national film board worker also provided photo material for books written by well known Canadian animal rights activist and author Farley Mowatt.Last week de Visser toured the region photographing the Stan-bridge East museum.Lawrence Rhicard's sugar house in West Bolton and Francois Duffar’s Knowlton sugar shack for Fisher's book."There will be a lot of images in the book that local people will recognize." Fisher said.HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE The maple sugar story will begin with an historical perspective of sugaring as seen through the eyes of the early settlers and evolve to the present day maple sugar industry including current problems such as acid rain.T want it to be historically accurate, but interesting at the same time,” Fisher said.Information for the book came from the Brome Missisquoi historical society and the Stanbridge East museum to ensure authenticity.she added.Fisher said she expects the book to be available sometime this year.Meanwhile, she is busy working on two other books which have been accepted for publication.A children's fiction story will be published in Toronto, while a book on horses has been accepted for publication by an American publishing house.The mother of two says when she’s not at her computer writing, she's in the barn caring for nine horses — five of which are her own."Either that or I’m reading.I'm addicted to mystery stories." she confessed, citing Martha Grimes as a favorite mystery writer.Fisher's freelance material has appeared in numerous magazines, specialty publications and in Brome County News.f — Call v Ladies’ Auxiliary to Welcome Encampment No.9 holds meeting —___tel imam today for convenient Home Delivery 569-9528 Sherbrooke 514-243-0088 Knowlton office [•.•.VA To donate money for research, for organ donor cards, or to find out more, contact your local Kidney Foundation office.*8;

Downman said at the time."We are telling the whole story" "The objective of the Brome County museum, like other rural museums, is to chronicle the history and development of the Eastern Townships." he added.The Society, which has operated without interruption since its founding in 18i)7 largely through the efforts of volunteers interested in preserving the heritage of the region.LACK PROPER FACILITIES "We don't have the facility to maintain the plane under proper conditions." Downman said."I suggested it’s something we should think about." Downman said there are two large rips in the fuselage of the plane which require repair."The plane is covered with silk which has been varnished." Down-man explained."Maintenance of the artifact requires a carefully controlled environment." he added.The museum buildings are not heated in winter.Downman said the plane was taken to Trenton in 1962 for an overhaul."The engine hasn't been turned over for 20 years,” he added."It's probably frozen up.” Downman stressed he was not suggesting the plane should be sold immediately."Nor." he added, “am 1 sure we have the authority to dispose of it It's something we should think about down the road if we don’t have the proper facitily to maintain it ." Archivist Phelps said the thought of losing the historic aircraft is devastating.“We have done everything humanly possible to maintain the Plane." she added."After the war.Canada received several planes through the war reparations agreement.” "Ours has probably been the best maintained of any received by Canada." she added."At one time there were many Fokkers around.Now there are only three." said Monday, a March 4 meeting between museum officials and representatives of Cultural Affairs was cancelled because of a storm.A new meeting date is being set.NO GOOD NEWS Meanwhile.Downman says he has received no good news from the Quebec government regarding either the re-establishment of the $10.000 operating grant, or a commitment of any other money under the historic buildings fund The sale of the plane may be something members will have to consider in the future — especially since the museum is about to lose an important part of its funding from Quebec's Ministry of Cultural Affairs.But.she agreed, ideally the museum buildings should be winterized to provide the controlled temperatures required to maintain the aircraft.Brome-Missiquoi MNA Pierre Paradis said last January he would investigate the possibility of securing funding to have the turn of the century museum buildings winterized.A spokesman in Paradis’ office The Town of Brome Lake tourist association has agreed to rent space for a tourist bureau in the Village Street museum."That should provide some short-term relief and increase tourist traffic to the museum."

When is an oops not enough?/ Brome closet By Sharon McCully i It’s often argued that the media can inflict irreparable damage by printing first and retracting later.But what about ordinary citizens?Don't they also have a responsibility to ensure, to the extent possible.that the information they are disseminating is factual and fair?Last week a well organized group of prominent citizens bombarded the press and the public with urgent missives w arning of the impending closure of the Cowansville courthouse and Brome-Missisquoi-Perkins Hospital.Presumably for effect, the situation was exaggerated to the point of hyperbole In one communique, citizens were urged to rally to save both of these vital institutions.In a second statement.BMP Hospital was dropped from the release.MISTAKE Asked about the discrepancy between the two statements.a spokesman for the group admitted it was a "mistake'’ to include the hospital.Oops.The same statement unequivocally claims."The Quebec government has decided’ that the Cowansville courthouse will be transferred to Granby, leaving behind a minimal number of judicial services.'' Oops.A second, modified version states."The government of Quebec is threatening' to transfer to Granby our courthouse in total or part." Justice Minister Gil Rémillard has stated publicly on several recent occasions he has no intention of closing the Cowansville courthouse.I'm not suggesting anyone take his word for it.but certainly nothing of the kind “has been decided ".What is very real is the impact of diminishing services at both institutions which could eventually lead to their demise unless some positive action is taken.It may bedifficult now for this group to regain the credibility it needs to rally public suppport for the battle ahead.Public institutions are the backbone of a commu- nity.Any threat to their existence is cause for alarm — particularly among senior residents.It is clearly irresponsible to attempt to manipulate the media — and by extension the community — with exaggerated and unfounded claims.It's hardly productive to cry fire when all you need is a hose.Beaver Chapter No.7 OES holds meeting The RECORD—Thursday.March 28.195)1—B7 €1________tk£l tCBcard DEBBIE POWELL Advertising Consultant Tel : (5141 243-0088 Fax: (514) 243-5155 WES DESGENS* Heating oil Gas - Diesel Lubricants Huile à chauffage Gaz - Diésel Lubrifiants Ça bouge avec Shell FURNACE CARE - CONTRACTS & SERVICE CONTRATS ET SERVICE D'ENTRETIEN DE FOURNAISES 242-2444 471 Knowlton Rd.KNOWLTON 263-1898.206 Albert Si.COWANSVILLE ®oob food 8c brink «ypitni (Ccbrir’ü il h h |frwnblg 8c funl (Eebrtr's presents "Micro & Music" Soirées Every Friday night from 8 PM to 1 AM Specials on our great, local micro-brews & live bands St.Ambroise • Massawippi • Belle Gueule • Hopps Bràu Knowlton, Lac Brome (by the bridge) open 7 days a week — (514) 243-4100 SERVICE D'IMPÔTS C.K.’s GRANBY — After being closed for the months of January and February, a meeting of Beaver Chapter No.7 OES was held on Monday.March 11 with Mrs.Idel-sa Ramsay.P.G.M.as Worthy Matron and Edward Morgan.P.P.as Worthy Patron.Pro Tem.in the East.Following opening of the Chapter.the flag of our country was placed in the East.Our own Clarence Allen.P.P.and now Worthy Grand Patron of the Grand Chapter of Quebec w as presented by the Conductress Rita Beaudin.P.M.welcomed by the Worthy Matron, escorted to the East and given Grand Honors.The Worthy Matron welcomed members of Grand Chapter and all others attending.The Secretary read the minutes of the December meeting and other matters pertaining to our Chapter and that of the Grand Chapter.In loving memory of the late Edra Beake of Waterloo and the late Ralph Bell of Pierrefonds.the altar was draped.Two officers for 1991 were installed into their office.Audrey Allen, P M.as Secretary and Letitia Cousens.P.M.as Ruth.It was our pleasure to have these two mem- bers with us again — Audrey, after her severe accident and Letitia's illness in November.A sincere welcome back to both of you.At our April 8th meeting, the Grand Instructor for our district will make her visit for Instruction.At the same meeting the degrees of the order will be conferred on an incoming member After pertinent business of the chapter was enacted it was closed in regular form, all retiring to the lower hall for the penny fair, refreshments and a social time.Hostesses for the evening were Idelen Ramsay, Catherine Lawrence and Brenda Williams.Creek United Church Women meet WEST BOLTON — The March meeting of the Creek United Church Women was held in the church hall on Wednesday afternoon.March 20 with eight ladies present.The president, Margot Allen called the meeting to order and all joined in reading the UCW purpose.Devotions were led by Alice Whitcher using an article of Rev.John Dunford.entitled "Standing on Holy Ground."
