Vice:President : Mrs.Doris Coupland; Secretary treasurer : Mrs.Mary Enright.Convenors: Agriculture: Mrs.Lois Pow; Citizenship & Legislation: Mrs.Yvette McElravy; Safe- the minutes of the last meeting and thank you notes from Shirley Russell and le Centre d'Action Bénévole de Waterloo.The treasurer gave the financial report.The card party scheduled for April 20th was postponed.Rummage sales will be held in the church hall on May 16th, 23rd, and allow space for the copier and computer.articles which are so necessary now but almost unheard of in 1956 when the present addition was built.At the close of the meeting refreshments were served.Our minister Rev.Vicki Cowan joined us for a short time.It is a rare occasion when she can be with us for a social hour.NOT A WATCHDOG?The group, which would consist of local ratepayers, would work co-operatively with council and wouild not be "a watchdog type of operation.’ the spokesman said.Several ad hoc and special-interest groups have formed in West Bolton recently, to bring va rious matters to the attention of the mayor and council.A number have gned petitions.Most expressed disapproval of commercial ventures such as sand and gravel pits proliferating within the municipality’s borders.Rarely have such groups tormed an ongoing link with council to ensure that their concerns continue to be addressed.The citizens committee would seek to do that.There’s little or no public referral on matters affecting life in the community now." noted the spokesman.1 le added that the citizens committee would try to haveoneor more councillors as well as non elected citizens join the new group.“A more open exchange of ideas might result from that." he said FOR EXAMPLE At least one such body exists in West Bolton.The urban planning committee, consisting of four of the six councillors plus the mayor acting-officio, has one non-elected citizen as a member.He is Arthur Mizcner of Brill Road, a longtime resident who was appointed to the committee last year.Tm just an individual who advises the urbanist body of what 1 think." said Mizcner in a telephone interview.I have no vote in their decisions.” The councillors on the urban planning committee are René Hebert.Donald Badger.Stan Horne and Bob Quilliams.Hébert is chairman.On the committee’s recommendation.council recently adopted a bylaw implementing an urban development plan for the municipality.Mizcner.who was mayor of West Bolton from 1970 to 1972.is one of several residents who favors the citizens' committee concept.’’It's not a bad idea.” he said."I feel that such a committee would help, and a councillor should be on it.Things are developing faster many important issues have to be add ressed ” Others w h o h a v e public! y acknowledged the plan are Stewart Cowen and Paul Davignon, long-established residents of the Glen area of West Bolton.THE RI LES Quebec’s Land Use Planning and Development Act deals specifically with the formation of advisory committees in municipalities.Section 146 of Chapter 5 ot the Act states that a municipality may "esta b 1 i s h a p 1 a n n i n g a d v i s o r y committee composed of at least one member of the council and of such number of members as it shall determine, who are chosen from among the residents of the municipality." The committee may have "powers of study and recommendation in regard to planning, zoning, subdivision and building." says the law .and its members' renewable terms may last up to two years.But no one in West Bolton seems to w ant to be publicly identified as a moving force behind a committee So it's an idea whose time may or not have come.IN OTHER MATTERS: • West Bolton will allow the neighboring tow n ol Brome Lake to drill test wells for water on the properties ol Jan Ryzora and Barbara Cosgrove on Bailey Road in West Bolton.Drilling will also take place on a neighboring lot owned by Brome Lake.• John Rhicard has been named road inspector of the municipality for 1991.Rhicard is the youngest but not the newest member of council.He says he and Rene Hebert became councillors at the same time • Randy Smith will supply gravel and equipment for the municipality’s road work during 1991.Five other bidders will be advised of the decision by letter.Shefford County Women’s Institute meeting St.Luke’s Church Women hold meeting HOMELITÊ I N T R U C I N G Stâte-Of-The-AelChain Saws NEW Model 300 3 0 cu.in.(49 2 cc) ¦ Electronic solid state ignition ¦ SAFE-T-TIP1*’ anti-kickback device ¦ Chain brake ¦ CSA certified DALE BEDARD MANSONVILLE 292-3414 with a Quick primer start Bulb ty: Mrs.Janet Rutherford; Home Economics: Mrs.Alfreda Neil; Education: Margaret Stevenson: International Affairs: Mrs.Rolande Enright; Publicity: Mrs.Muriel Coupland.Plans were made to attend a picnic at Mrs.Doris Coupland cottage sometime in July.Meeting was closed by Mrs.Jeannine Lussier, sweets and cold drinks or coffee were served by Mrs.Hazel Whitehouse.30th The time will be 9:00 a m.-ILa.m., 2:00 p.m.- 4:00 p.m.and 7:00 p.m.- 8:00 p.m.The bell tower door will be left unlocked from 8:00 a.m.until 7:00 p.m.starting April 29th for people to deposit rummage.Tables for rummage will be set up in the church hall on Sunday evening.April 28th.Lillian Bouchard reported that the town of Waterloo will be celebrating its 125th anniversary next year.Two people can be picked to represent St.Luke’s Church at meetings.Nellie Darling agreed to be one and someone else will also be asked.The next meeting will be on May 20th at 7:30 p.m.in the church hall with Joyce Lequin and Katie Marsh as hostesses, Katie adjourned the meeting.The mystery package was won by Valentine Vintinner.Everyone enjoyed a guided tour through Primevere, after which refreshments were served by the hostesses there.than thev used to in this area, and ^ SMART SHOPPER^ * DISCOUNT GROCERIES^ SAVE $$ Mojor Savings on all of our Inventory "This Week's Specials" • Booth Brothers 2% Milk Sl8’/gal.• Cigarettes - Canadian Brands • Jumbo Eggs 99* • Boiled Ham sl89/ib.• Daisy Lane Ice Cream * 1 "/Vi gal.• Folgers Coffee 13 oz.SJ 99 + Many More Specials Throughout the Store Large Selection of Pet Foods Our Everyday Low Prices Can’t Be Beat!

Kate said.The forgotten felines usually Golden Age club news- MANSONVILLE — April birthdays were celebrated on the twenty-third of April.The club furnished the meat and Flora Drouin made her special meat loaves with gravy.Verlie Aiken supplied the mashed potatoes and the club gave green beans and the basics.George Hamelin made a johnny cake.The birthday cake was made by Monique Foster and donated by Flora Drouin, it was a superb carrot cake.The birthday song was sung to the celebrators seated at the birthday table, these were: Evelyn Dubuc (April 2); Julienne McDuff (April 6); Irene Carrier (April 19); Gerald Carrier and President Rita Mossa (April 26).Members had signed cards for Irene and Rita thanks to Mary Schoolcraft and Mildred Atyeo.Rita received several gifts and cards for which she thanked all for their thoughtfulness to her and thanks go to Past President Flora Drouin for the gift of the carrot cake, this was much enjoyed by all.Other guests at the table were Betsy Beaulieu.Verlie Aiken and Mary Schoolcraft.Rita thanked Verlie Aiken for her efforts in the kitchen, without her faithfullness in this capacity our dinners might not be as tasty.This also applies to those ladies who go about the task of clearing and cleaning up after dinner.PINNACLE PEDDLER GENERAL STORE WITH GIFT SHOP Anything you want, we have!

Osman.28.and his wife Ifrah Ab-dirahman.22.arrived at Dorval airport April 17 after spending the last three years in an Ethopian refugee camp.The couple and their newborn daughter were brought to Canada by a group of Mansonville residents who raised $9.000 to sponsor them.Osman's brother had originally planned to join him and Ifrah in Canada, but the birth of their baby made2-month-old Hodan.the third refugee.An application to sponsor the three refugees was filed in Montreal on May 3.1990 by the Mansonville group.CHOSE CANADA Because of his links with United Nations workers, Osman, a former truck driver with the world organization.was able to get the message out that he would like to re-settle in Canada.In an interview this week at the home of Andy and Manon.Osman described the conditions under which he and 300,000 Somali refugees have lived since fleeing their war-torn home.“The war began on May 31.1988,'' Osman began in impeccable English."We stayed eight days in the city believing the war would end soon.But all around us houses were being demolished with people inside." On June 8, Osman and Ifrah, parents.aunts, uncles and small children fled their homes under cover of night leaving everything they owned behind.Before leaving, the men dug holes hiding some of their most precious possessions.“It w'as dark when we left our houses,” recalled Osman."Shells were flying over our heads and we could hear the bullets whiz by.When the sun came up.the planes above us could spot us so we had to run while thev shot at us." TRAGIC FATE Osman said the refugees faced a tragic fate either way.“If we had stayed, we would have been robbed and maybe killed.” Osman said some members of the group carried mats to sleep on at night.Others carried food for the group and some carried small children."We walked 30 miles from the city.all the time with planes over our heads.We waited fordays in hiding expecting the war to end." he said.Before long, the group ran out of food."Some of us went back into the city to find food and water," Osman said."Always we had to watch for the small planes that swoop down to the level of the trees.” “If you are spotted by the small planes, you have to move quicky because they alert the large planes." he explained.Osman said when he returned to the city, he discovered his family home had been turned into a military center.TIME TO MOVE ON He returned with enough supplies for the family to move on."We walked 15 days without a destination.” he said."We looked for Nomadic people who would share their food." Nineteen days later, the group settled with a tribe of Nomads who shared their sheep."When the last sheep was gone, they said to us.go on — you ate all our sheep,” Osman said laughing.Osman and some of the more robust men left the family in their makeshift camp and returned to Somalia to look for sheep they had left behind."My father went to check on my two brothers that had been separated from us when the war broke out." Osman said."He found both of them injured in different parts of the city and brought them together.” Osman recalls his father returning with a booty of 2 kilos of sugar and a kilo of pasta."We stayed with an aunt who gave us some sheep." he said.Osman said the men traded some of the sheep for "green corn".“Green corn takes a long time to cook and we didn't always have patience." he said.“Sometimes we would put it in water to boil overnight and in the morning all the water was gone and the corn burnt." he laughed.The men shepherded the small herd of sheep back to the site where the family waited."By the time we got back, the sheep were so thin and weak, they didn't last long." he said.Osman set out alone on foot to find the nearest refugee camp where he hoped to find some United Nations workers.A truck carrying other refugees destined for the camp brought him there."I knew the UN vehicles came once a week, but I didn't know when or where," he said."I watched for them afraid to miss them." Osman recalls eight days of sleeping on the ground in a camp filled with thousands of refugees waiting for supplies.FLEA BITTEN "There were no tents and we slept on the ground.The fleas were so bad you couldn't sleep because you scratched all night." When Osman finally met up with UN officials they paid him some back wages owing and he was able to buy and sell his way back to his family then get them to the refugee camp.Osman and his family stayed three years in the Ethiopian refugee camp under deplorable conditions."At the camp, women sleep in the tents and men outside.It’s not nice in the rainy season." he said.Some 300,000 refugees live in the camp which receives supplies from the United Nations.While at the camp.Osman began his personal campaign to get out of the camp."I am only the second person to leave the camp for re-settlemen as an independent." he said."The only other to my knowledge is a nurse." TRIP DELAYED For more than a year.Osman has been corresponding through the United Nations services with the Mansonville group.Originally scheduled to leave Ethiopia in February, the trip was delayed when Ifrah went into labor.Although Osman says most So malian children learn to speak English as a second language.Ifrah speaks no English.Osman says he learned English in private school and perfected his language skills while working for the United Nations.The couple and their infant daughter will move into their own Mansonville apartment this week after spending the last two weeks with Andy and Manon.Osman says he intends to find work to support his family.A skil-led mechanic, and a hard worker.he is already looking around for odd jobs.Ifrah.a small timid girl who is struggling to adjust to motherhood in a foreign language and culture has already learned her first word : happy.jr Ifrah Abdirahman, with baby Hidan.struggling to adjust.Osman Ismail.'It’s much warmer than I expected.’ Be—The RECORD—Thursday, May 2, 1991 Optimist fundraising blitz focuses on newborns By Sharon McCully COWANSVILLE — It can hardly be characterized as a baby boom, but births at Brome Missisquoi Perkins hospital in Cowansville have increased steadily in the last three years.Some 6K1 births were recorded at BMP in 1990-91 compared to only 490 in 1987-88.The increased birth rate prompted members of youth-oriented Optimist Clubs of the region to focus their fundraising efforts this year on the hospital's newborns.Optimist Clubs in Cowansville, Brigham, Adamsville.Dunham and Brome Lake will hold their annual telephone blitz for funds from May 13-18.Five teams of seven will man the phones set up at the offices of Tardif, Harbec & Gagné.The volunteer club members expect to touch some 15 per cent of the population.Last year the clubs raised $20,000 which was used to purchase two fetal monitors.$20,000 PLUS $1 “Because of the economic climate, our objective is $20,000 plus $1.” said Jean Dugal, coordinator of the campaign.The planned neo-natal center for newborns contains everything ne cessary to care for an infant in the first ten minutes of life.Jacques Ricard, the hospital’s new obstretician, says those first ten minutes of a baby's life is a busy time.“There are ten tests which must be done within the first ten minutes of life," Ricard explained.“It’s very important for us to have everything u'e need at our fingertips." Rivard said the hospital’s current equipment is “barely adequate".The neo-natal unit consists of a heated table equipped with everything needed to administer care in the first minutes of life.NEW BEDS In addition to the neo-natal unit, the Optimists hope to provide new pediatric beds for children who are in hospital for day surgery and those confined to hospital for a longer period.Sixty per cent of the children who come to BMP Hospital are there for day-surgery, explained director general Mario Cyr.Cases requiring specialized ser vices are referred to St.Justine’s Hospital in Montreal.Leaders of the Optimist Clubs say the annual blitz has turned into an enjoyable event for participants."It’s fun for us all to get together and get friendly competitions going between the regions,” said one Optimist Club president.Anyone who would like to contribute to the Optimist project but are not at home at the time of the call may send their contribution to BMP Hospital Foundation, Optimist Club Fund, 990 rue Principale, Cowansville, J2K1K3 ffcstml Jntemational 'table d JC ôte SMOKED SALMON TROUT BAVARIAN SALAD RUSSIAN EGG $000 TABOULE_______ O POTAGE t SALAD SMITZEL A LA BOHEMIENNE CZEK SAUERBRATEN GERMAN TROUT INUIT ALASKA VEAL AUX CHANTERELLES FRANCE PAILLARDE DE FILET DE BOEUF SWITZERLAND POULET A LA VIEV UKRAINE PORC AU PAPRIKA BAGONI HUNGARY $"l Q95 DESSERT • COFFEE 17 SPECIAL ENTERTAINMENT IN THE EVENING WITH PREMEk KRUTA FOR MOTHER'S DAY LUNCHEON LADIES 1/2 PRICE SPICIAl MM FOK CHILDRIN 360 Blvd.Pierre-Laporte, Bromont Tel: 514-534-2707 .* 'c iillKi Brigitte Boucher and baby Alexandre '.Eqe-ettetai SMELL THE FLOWERS TIPTOE THROUGH THE GREENHOUSES, BUT PLEASE?DON’T EAT THE DAISIES LES SERRES CHERBOURG It’s that time of year again, bright sunshine, warm breezes and flowers — lots of flowers.Now Open 7 Days a Week 155 Pierre Laporte Blvd.Cowansville 263-0140 (near hospital) FOR ONE BILLION PEOPLE, THIS IS ATOXIC SUBSTANCE.Millions still die every year from unsafe water supplies.Through our water projects, CARE Canada helps improve health conditions in developing communities.Please support our work -give to CARE Canada now.C A K E CANADA PO Box 9000,1550 Carling Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario K1G 4X6 1-800-267-5232 The RECORD—Thursday, May 2, 1991—B7 Community gets involved in fashion benefit By Sharon McCully KNOWLTON — Fashion is drawing the fashionable village of Knowlton together like a magnet.Tanya Tkach, organizer of a benefit fashion show for Theatre Lac Brome says she is overwhelmed by the involvement of local shops and volunteers in the project.“I’d estimate over 50 people are involveo n the show, either as sponsors, mode's or paritiepating shops."

PRINCIPALE GRANBY 378-7388 (CHOICE, QUALITY, PRICE) JL Here is another in our series of articles on churches in the Brome County region written by local authors.By Rev.Keith Eddy It is to Philipsburg United Church that falls the honor of being the oldest former Methodist chapel still in existence in the province of Quebec.For 172 years its doors have been continuously open for public worship.Built in 1819, its history has encompassed the greater part of Canadian history.It still stands today as a living witness to its founders.What continues to hold our interest today as we look at this church?It is built of the naive white Phi-lipsburg marble that now graces, in polished form, many other prominent buildings in Montreal and Ottawa.EARLY HIGHWAY Secondly, when the preacher stands in the pulpit, hands on bible, he is able to look out the front doors oi the church on Missisquoi Bay, one of the early highways by which the loyalists entered Canada.Third, the architecture reflects that of the German palatine loyalists who settled Missisquoi and adjoining counties.Although a church built in 1819 may be thought to be quite old.35 years had elapsed since the founding of Philipsburg in 1784.By 1819, the first settlers had cleared their land, erected houses, established schools, and built Anglican churches at Frelighsburg in 1809 and St.Armand in 1811.Unfortunately, unlike the Methodist church, those early buildings did not survive.Philipsburg marble and palatine experience with stone in Ireland combined to preserve the Methodist church.In 1819.Philipsburg had already witnessed the American Revolution and the War of 1812-14.PRISONERS AT ST.ALBANS The original settlers had not long been disbanded from their Loyalists corps when Col.Isaac Clark from the United States landed at Philipsburg on the night of October 12.1813, with a force of 150 men.After plundering the town he carried off 100 prisoners to St.Albans in great distress.Local resistance resulted in one dead and eight persons wounded among the Loyalists at Philipsburg.We may ask how the Loyalists at Philipsburg became interested in methodism?It was because they had known John Wesley in Ireland.The influence of this great evangelist and preacher, trained at Oxford, orda-nined into the Church of England, stayed with these converts as they emigrated to New York City and then to the Camden Colony in Upper New York State.When the revolution broke out they enlisted as loyalists and brought their methodist faith with them into Canada.Among Wesley’s converts where Peter Miller, Agnes Benor.Philip Embury, Paul and Barbara Heck.John Lawrence, and many other palatine settlers.RENOVATIONS IN 1902 The original church edifice was subject to a major renovation in 1902 when the box pews were removed in favor of the gracefully curing pews now seen.The small pane windows which had deteriorated were replaced with new memorial stain glass of a beautiful nature.They are in memory of some of the former ministers: Er.A.Flanders.Francis Hunt, C.M.Hitchcock.Barnabus Hitehock.Hugh Montgomery, Wm.Scott, and parishoners: Charles and Margaret Miller, Alexander B.Struthers.Samuel and Philip Embury.Annie A.Pha-roach.James and Jessie Symington.John K.Montle, Jane R.Montle.Hiram and Huldah Fleming.Mary Brown.Hollis and Robert Hastings.Robert and Henry Crothers.Sarah and Eunice Hogle, Abram and Hiram Hogle.Rodney and Carleton Reynolds.William and Mary Jordan.Bertha and Mary Morgan.Edward Jordan, Morgan and Mary Hastings.Col.Garret Sixby and Bertha Sixby.Religious meetings for metho-dists were organized by the American Methodist Episcopal Church under Bishop Elijah Hedding who organized the Champlain district and sent the Rev.Lorenzo Dow far ranging into Canada in 1799.He organized classes in the Missisquoi area and they became part of Fletchers circuit in Vermont.DUNHAM CIRCUIT By 1806 the work in Canada justified the creation of what was called the Dunham circuit which had in it the following classes that were meeting: Missisquoi Bay South — (Philipsburg).North - (Pike Ri ver): Stanbridge West — (Bed ford): Stanbridge East: St.Armand North — (Morgan's Corners): St.Armand South —(St.Armand Village): Dunham South — iDunham): Dunham North — (Cowansville): Farnham: Sutton North — iSutton): Sutton South — lAbercorni: Potton: Huntsburgh East — iHighgate Center); Huntsburgh West-Highgate.One can see the widespread nature of Methodist classes in 1806 throughout the district and even across the line.This was in keeping with John Wesley’s proclamation that for Methodists the whole world was their parish.As the classes grew in strength they were placed in their own circuits and churches were built.But in 1819 only two churches were ONE OF THE LARGEST INVENTORIES OF MONUMENTS IN QUEBEC AT OUR GRANBY PLANT W _ The recently restored Odeltown Church was restored was the site of a major battle in IS.IS. Philipsburg site of Quebec’s oldest Methodist chapel erected — one at Philipsburg and one at Dunham, of wood, that did not survive.ODELTOWN CHAPEL The Philipsburg Church has a sister church that did survive and which was built in 1823 at Odel-town.Recently restored, it was the site of a major battle on November 7 and 9, 1838.Many believe that these two churches were built of heavy stone in case of trouble on the border which in fact materialized in both places during the rebellion of 1838.This caused the government to build a block house at Philipsburg in 1839 for 35 soldiers.The Philipsburg Methodist Church was built during the ministry of Rev.Richard Williams.He was a British Wesleyan Minister from England and came to Philipsburg from Quebec City where he had just built the first Wesleyan Chapel in Canada.Experienced in church construction it is likely he followed the erection of the Philipsburg Chapel closely.For more details of its construction see my article in the sixteenth report of the Missisquoi Historical Society on page 99 entitled, Some new light on an old Chapel’.The war of 1812-14 had a profound effect on Methodists in Canada.SUPPLIED BY METHODISTS Until that time the American Methodist Episcopal Church had supplied all the missionaries to travel in Canada and had erected a chapel in Montreal.Their relationship throughout the Townships was cherished by innumerable families — many of whom had lately come from the United States and had been association in Methodist congregations there.In a war that no one wanted, Methodists missionaries were barred from entering Canada.Montreal Methodists soon called for British preachers.One was assigned to the Montreal Chapel on St.James Street.Soon two were sent from England — one to serve the country parishes.One was assigned to St.Armand and Dunham even though many still favoured their American friends.The British Wesleyans brought an educated ministry and were devout and faithful to parish duties.They attended to the building of chapels after Mr.Wesley’s style — 40' x 50’ at Phlipsburg, and 35’ by 45’ at Dunham.This was for intimacy in worship and economy of maintenance.A plan that enable many chapels to survive until our present day.U.S.CONNECTION The American connection is very much in evidence in the relationship of the Embury family to the Philipsburg United Church.Philip Embury had been converted by John Wesley in Ireland and commissioned as a local preacher.He emigrated to New York where he began preaching at the request of Barabara Heck.Embury built the first Methodist Chapel in America and the first Methodist Chapel in Cambridge, New York.He died there, but his son Samuel moved to St.Armand where he had a great influence on the Philipsburg Chapel.One may see the similarity with the New York Chapel to that of Philipsburg.His daughter Katherine helped to establish St.James United Church in Montreal being married to Duncan Fisher.One thing that has not changed through the years at the Philipsburg church are two wood stoves at the back of the sanctuary with stove pipes that run the full length of the ceiling and provide cosy heat in the winter months for the small worshipping congregation.In 1984, the church's connection with the Loyalist settlers was highlighted when members conceived and promoted a bi-centennial celebration of the landing of the Loyalists on the shores of Missisquoi Bay in March of 1784.They established the first settlement in the Eastern Townships and from here many land grants were made to settlers throughout the townships.Celebrations began on a July weekend with a crowded church service with Loyalists speaking of their heritage.Following the service a picnic was held in the park near the only surviving Loyalist log cabin on the bay.A re-enactment of the landing of the Loyalists was held by raft on the bay and a re-reading of the words of the governor to vacate these lands or have provisions cut off, which in fact they were over the winter months of 1784-5.In 1925 the Methodist church joined the United Church of Canada.The small congregation is attempting to build up a trust fund to support this historic landmark and has about $12.000.Any who wish to support this cause may send receiptable donations to Mr.Donald Van Horn, 42 Dutch Street, Bedford, Quebec, J0J 1A0.Settlers coming into a new and challenging land developed their communities around the church and most schools were started by the religious educators of the day.With this in mind the Sir John Johnston Branch of the United Empire Loyalists is researching the history of the old churches of the Eastern Townships.Anyone wishing to submit a history of their local church can send it to: Phyllis Hamilton.555 Church

international food fest By Sharon McCully BROMONT — The cuisine of eight countries will be featured during the third international festival at Le Petit Auberge.Tucked away on a hilltop between Bromont and Cowansville.the quaint dining room has been a favorite dining spot for many who have happened upon it.Once a year, the Czechoslova-kian-born owner Joseph Krotil and manager Pavel Kabudal host an international food fest."The menu will feature dishes from eight different countries for the 10 days of the festival,” explained Pavel.Pavel, a Laval University graduate in chemistry and physics, said he began cooking while attending university."When 1 was studying, I never had enough money, so I made extra working in restaurants," he said.TRAINED BY MASTERS With the help of some top-notch training
