Bishop didn’t get Gil Smith wins Fokker story contest KNOWLTON — To tie in with the opening of the musical Billy Bishop Goes to War which opens at Theatre Lac Brome July 6, the theatre sponsored a short story contest in which writers were asked to link Canada’s World War I ace Billy Bishop, with the German Fokker D-VII biplane fighter in the Brome County Historical museum.First prize in the contest was awarded to Record writer Gil Smith, of West Bolton.Second prize was awarded to Cindy Fisher.also a frequent Record contributor.Judges in the contest were Joan McKinnon, grandaughter of Senator George Foster who brought the plane to Knowlton, and Marion Phelps.Director and Archivist of the Brome County Historical Museum.In Gil Smith’s story, the ceremony on Parliament Hill and the notion that Reginald Aubrey Fessen- 598 Maples Sutton, Que.ARCHIMÈDE "g&IAUMNI FRANCO-QUEBECOISE CUISINE For Reservations: 538-1505 den played a role in bringing the plane to Knowlton is fictional.A copy of all stories submitted is being donated to the Brome County Historical Museum for its Fokker D-VII file.The following is the winning entry : Richard Proulx Johanne Béland ARCHITECTS S Victoria By Gil Smith It was November 11.1919.and on Parliament Hill dignitaries were gathering for the first Armistice Day celebrations following World War I.Guest of honor at the historic affair was Wm.Avery "Billy" Bishop.Canada's most renowned wartime air ace.Bishop, then 25.had shot down or otherwise destroyed over 70 enemy aircraft while winning nearly every military honor available to combat flyers, including the Victoria Cross.Lending still further significance to events that day was the receipt by the Canadian government of a number of German fighter planes, as part of a war reparation settlement.These planes were called Fokkers.and had been known as Germany’s most celebrated fighter aircraft.They’d also been the chief target of Billy Bishop’s deadly accurate wartime shooting, and had accounted for the vast numberof his kills.Bishop had been named to an honorary committee, appointed by the government.to officially receive the planes at a special post-Armistice Day ceremony on Parliament Hill.REGINALD FESSENDEN Another dignitary present that day in Ottawa, though not part of the official ceremonies, was Reginald Fessenden the noted inventor.Fessenden, whose experiments with wireless-radio at the turn of the century had ranked him on a par with the Marconi, in some quarters, was thought of as a brilliant eccentric.Loud, argumentative.and a non-stop talker.Fessenden had managed to alienate most of the people who could’ve helped him early in his career.As a result, he’d never received all the credit that was due him.Now 53, he was past his inventive prime, and employed as a consultant to various companies engaged in the manufacture of signalling devices.He also lobbied on their behalf for government contracts.It was for that reason that he was on Parliament Hill that memorable November dav.WITHOUT A HITCH History has recorded that the Armistice Day ceremonies themselves went off without a hitch that year.Billy Bishop, weighted down with medals, stood rigidly at attention with other military heroes as a bugler played The Last Post.The crashing gun salute to fallen comrades by the Victoria Rifles regiment brought a fitting end to the ceremonies.All that remained was to officially accept the war planes one of which, a fully restored Fokker D-VII, stood in isolated splendor in a clearing somewhat removed from the Cenotaph on the Hill.With

Your seedlings have survived the transplanting, all your seeds have sprouted and are rapidly growing.If you think all you have to do now is irrigate, fertilize, and wait for the harvest, you'll be in for a big disappointment.Your vegetable garden is home to a vast array of insect and other animal life farms.Some are beneficial but others can easily destroy a crop if left unchecked.Two such insects are the Colara-do potato beatle (CPB) and the cutworm.The CPB defoliates plants and skelatinizes leaves of pepper, eggplant.tomatoe, and of course, potato.The adult is about 3/8 long with a rounded body.It is yellow with distinct black stripes on the body and an orange head.EGGS UNDER LEAVES The larvae (immature insect) are plump and red with black spots and a black head.The eggs are bright yellow and laid in rows on the underside of leaves.Both the adults and the larvae chew the foliage.One or two generations occur each year and over winter in the adult stage.If you notice that leaves of these susceptible plants have been eaten, look for the CPB.They feed during the day and are easily visible on the plant.Handpicking will considerably reduce the infestation.Begin removing them as early in the season as possible before they begin laying eggs.Cornmeal and bran meal, when sprinkled around the plant will help reduce the population as well.When it is ingested by the beatle, it causes swelling inside and will kill it.Dusting the plant with diatamaceous earth will destroy the larvae.Diatamaceous earth is the fossilized remains of shells of minute marine life.These shells are very sharp on a microscopic level.It works by scratching the insects skin and absorbing its protective waxy coating.The insect dries out and dies.Various chemical sprays and dusts are also available for effective control.PREVENTION BEST MEDICINE The best way to control CPB infestation is prevention.After the harvest.remove all the old plants and over-grown weeds leaving the soil bare for a week.Then thoroughly cultivate the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches.This buries any surface insects and brings any burrowing insects to the top.In another two or three weeks, rake the soil.This exposes the insects that are looking for a place to overwinter, to birds and other predators.In the early spring about two weeks before planting, cultivate the soil to a depth of two inches or so.Again this will further expose the insects to oils predators.Catworms are larvae of nocturnal moths.They are plump, grayish to brown caterpillars, one to two inches long and are up when disturbed.It is active and appears at night, hiding in the soil, during the day.Cutworms will sever the stems of seedlings at or below the soil surface.The damaged plant generally looks as if it has been cut by a lawn mower.If it looks like it has been cut on an angle, it could be rabbits.Susceptible plants include beans, brassicas, (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, corn, eggplant, lettuce, peppers, potato and tomatoe.Individual plants can be protected with a stiff paperor plastic collar, it should be inserted into the ground at least one inch, and should be no less than one inch above soil level.Wood ash sprinkled around the plant acts as a barrier since the cutworm will avoid crawling over it.Cornmeal, bran meal and diatamaceous earth will control cutworm in the same manner as the CPB.The same preventive steps to control CPB are also useful in controlling cutworm.A FOUR LETTER WORD WE SHOULD ALL USE MORE OFTEN.(lie plant doctor^ By Gerald MacDonald GIVE.The giving begins with you.%

Knowlton, P.Q.(514) 243-0123 B6—The RECORD—Thursday, June 27, 1991 Adults prove it’s never too late By Sharon McCully COWANSVILLE-When Sheila Hoege received her diploma last Saturday, her 15-year-old son bought her a graduation card — in French.“Kevin knew how I struggled with the French.” Sheila said.Hoege says when she decided to return to school to get her high school diploma, the whole family got on board."They were so supportive." she said After being a homemaker for 12 years.Hoege said it was tough to make the transition from home to school.Minke Curtis, a classmate in the adult education program at Massey Vanier High School nodded in agreement.“My life was centered on my two children 12 and 9.’' Minke said during a jam session with fellow grads last week."Going back to school made me feel better about myself and it made the children more independent." Shelley Gibson said she was a chronic "skipper" in high school until she finally got suspended."Skipping becomes addictive," she said."1 didn't like school and I had the impression nobody knew or cared if I was in class or not." she But when her friends graduated and went on to other phases of their lives, Shelley says the void began to sink in.“There were no jobs for me,” Shelley said.“1 felt cheated.When I visited my friends, they all had their graduation pictures and their diplomas on the wall.They had their graduation and prom.I wanted that night." She got her day in the sun along with 22 other adult graduates who were feted by family and friends during an elaborate ceremony June 15 "As soon as I got home, 1 put my certificate up on the wall and just sat there and admired it." Shelley said.The graduates returned to school for different reasons.Rochelle had been laid off her job in the textile industry.Frances quit her job as head cook to study professional cooking and Alain, a country singer, said there wasn't much future in the music business.A severe case of arthritis forced Frances out of work.And Holly was tired of seeing her friends go to work every day while she stayed at home.The graduates were unanimous about one thing though.said.RENOVATION INFORMATION Consultation & Inspection PHYLLIS SISE 243-6080 P O.Box 1152, Knowlton, Que.JOE 1 VO ^ DO NOT BUY ^ A USED CAR DONT YOU WANT A NEW ONE?All Samaras and Nivas come with a 3 year/72,000 kilometre bumper to bumper warranty and 5-year anti-rust perforation warranty.See us for warranty details Samara 1JLOM S.OHC Ergn.Front WSMtOdv» Al Sum RadWTlras I lj_|_11 J.1 a «ro- • nMr WwMOW * From s599500 Of 51605,/48 months Niva 4x4 lALOHCEnglna RJIn»4WhM0rtn * From s84 9500 Or S2275‘/48 months Signet Wagon 1JLGH0I Root Uiggw> Rack * From s699500 or s1873,/48 months * 2427 Chemin Dunham, Cowansville ¦ ¦ ¦ les Automootv*' .Bilodeau S 263-8693 to go back to school All claimed they were filled with fear and trepidation before taking the first step to return to school.“I couldn’t learn in school, so I was afraid it would be the same this time," said Holly.“But the teachers were fantastic and everyone gave me the support I needed." Some of the graduates said they were a little embarrassed in the beginning to return to school.“You don't like to say you're going back to school because then everyone knows you never graduated." Minke said.Others were concerned about their low level of reading and writing.Bui the fears and embarrasment quickly took a back seat once the adult learners hit the classroom.“Everybody works at his or her own pace, and the class is like a support group." said Frances."We all help one another out and one person’s success is encouragement for others to keep plugging.” All of the graduates plan to continue their studies next fall in professional training programs offered at the school.“There is a great feeling of satisfaction in reaching this goal." said Minke.T thought the greatest challenge in the world would be to pass the 500 level French course." laughed Sheila Hoege."But I did it and now I feel 1 can do anything.” Sheila and four of her classmates have enrolled in a commercial accounting program and Shelley plans to go to Cegep.Frances will take her professional cooking course, and Alain plans to take an accounting program.United Church Women hold two final meetings MANSONVILLE I BN) — Special events occurred on both June 6 and 13 as the Mansonville United Church members prepared to close for a summer recess during July and August.On June 6 the regular potluck meal was served buffet style with specially invited guest, the Rev.Glen Stone and one of his volunteer workers.Joan Hastie from the Port of Quebec, both involved with the "Operation Shoebox" campaign which our UCW has supported for several years.Other guests arrived at 2 p.m.when Rev.Stone talked for an hour explaining his work with seamen at the Port of Quebec, not only at Christmas, but all year round.Joan Hastie operated the slide machine which brought vivid pictures of Quebec scenes and the headquarters from which "Operation Shoebox" and Mission to Sea- men is carried on.Rev.Stone described how his small beginnings have been expanded with help from an International Service to seamen from overseas.The sailors visiting clergy to seamen both on ship board and on shore depicted in the slides were proof of the need of sailors who find themselves far from home for periods of time, stranded in the Port of Quebec for any reason, strike, ice bound, ship repairs, slow transport of cargoes, etc.Rev.Stone and his assistant had to return to Quebec for supper hour so declined afternoon tea with the ladies and their guests.A short UCW business meeting was conducted to verify a donation for a child to camp from this area and a reminder that a shower for Gayle is being held on the 13th — hopefully a surprise!

"Now I find the first thing an employer looks for is a high school leaving certificate.” Undergraduates attending the adult alternative school said its tough out there to find a job — even with a sound educational background."But if you don't have your high-school leaving, forget it,” says Beatrice.“You're doomed to welfare." Beatrice says she decided to return to school to break the welfare cycle.“I don't want to stay on welfare the rest of my life,” she said.“It's a terrible life.Your kids are labelled at school and you don't have any self esteem.” As a single mother of two, Gail agrees the social safety net can trap you.“When you’re the sole bread win- Blue Angel celebrates 25 years break welfare cycle ner, you have to think about the future," she said.“I always regretted not finishing high school, and I know I can’t find a job without it." The adult learners say there is simply no place on the work force for high school dropouts.“It’s the minimum,'' says Karl, who returned to school to get his diploma so he could enroll in an electronics program."Everything is so technical now, you really need the academic background," Howard added.“It takes something to come to school and walk into a schoolyard full of kids." commented Beatrice."It’s not easy, but the end result is worth it." The graduates agree once the initial shock of returning to the classroom passes, the results are rewarding.“I know I did the right thing." Howard said."Short term pain for long term gain."

Malcolm MacLeod might hit the big time yet.Last week the 16-month-old Cowansville toddler strutted across the stage of a Montreal studio, flashed his baby blues, and laid his platinum blonde head on a pillow Malcolm is registered with the Johanne Sheskay's modeling agency in Montreal.Last week, the agency thought Malcolm might just have the look an American baby-shoe company executive needs for a TV commercial.Some 40 toddlers swaggered across the stage.Malcolm's mother Jocelyn MacLeod, a Knowlton Elementary school teacher.says she ll find out this week if Malcolm was chosen for the TV spot.TV star or not the good-natured toddler is a hit in the MacLeod hou- sehold.“Malcolm's a gift," MacLeod said.He's the only child I know who loves getting sprayed by cold water from a hose," she laughed as older brother Caspian turned the hose on the youngster.Maeleod said a relative encouraged her to sign Malcolm with the modelling agency.LOOKING FOR MODELS ' They’re always looking for models of all ages," MacLeod said.A couple of months ago, Malcolm auditionned for a spot as a billboard baby for a Montreal company." she said."We don't stay awake nights wondering if he got the spot." added Jocelyn.“If he's chosen, great — if he's not then we've had a lot of fun trying.He’s a natural ham," she said.Malcolm proved the point by producing a toothy “picker-smile'' on request.BILLY BISHOP: Continued from page 3.government-appointment group, led by Bishop, moved to the area in which the historic aircratt stood.Bishop began to read from a prepared statement, expressing both Canada's and the military's satisfaction at receiving a number of these famed planes.They would, he said, be sent to various museums across the country to be put on display as a reminder of Canada’s great war accomplishments.It was at that point that a loud voice came from the crowd, directing a question to the startled Bishop.TO WHICH MUSEUMS "To exactly which museums.Sir.are you giving the gift of these aircraft." the voice demanded'.’ "As an interested party I would like to see a list of such museums made public.Indeed, I demand to see it ! " Bishop, recovering after his initial surprise at the intrusion, cleared his throat and tried to talk his way around the awkward moment.“No such list has been prepared yet.Sir." he said, after hurried consultation with government representatives on the scene."The receiving institutions have yet to be decided upon." "In that case." the voice shot back triumphantly.“I would like to put forth the name of one such institution.A most worthy one.I might ad ' "Sir." the now-flustered Bishop began, "this is neither the time nor place." But the voice cut him off.It is most certainly the time and place." came the response."And I.Reginald Aubrey Fessenden, a well known Canadian resident, demand that this issue be addressed " There was an uncomfortable silence, followed by a whispered conference among the officials standing alongside the little plane.Finally Bishop resumed his role of spokesman.CANADIAN MATTER “Mr Fessenden, with all due respect, you are.I'm told, an American-born person." he said "This as you can see.is essentially a Canadian matter You will please allow us.therefore, to continue uninter rupted.” "I will do nothing of the kind.” shouted the red-faced inventor! "Um a Canadian resident, same as you.speaking on behalf of a worthy Canadian museum.Don't you even want to know where it is?” "Where is it then, Mr Fessenden." Bishop inquired wearily, hoping to placate and perhaps thus silence the intruder" "In Knowlton.Quebec, Sir.” Fes-seden proclaimed proudly.“Right across the street from the very house in which I once lived." "Where is this Knowlton.Mr.Fessenden." Bishop demanded, after more consultation with his confreres."We don't seem to have ever heard of it here." "My God.man,” exclaimed Fessenden! "It’s in the Eastern Townships of Canada.I hope you've heard of them.Loyalist country, you know.Colonel Knowlton after whom the town itself is named, was a military man just like yourself It will be an insult if one of these planes isn't delivered to the town’s museum forthwith And I tell you sir," he added menacingly.'the people of Knowlton.many of whom are said to belong in a museum — I mean belong to the museum — will not take such an insult lightly!" History has not revealed the remainder of the confrontation between Fessenden and the much decorated Bishop.But the iaet remains that a P'okker W.W.I fighter plane has long been on display at the Brome County Historical museum in Knowlton — right opposite Fessenden’s former place of residence on Lakeside Road.The plane is the only one of its kind left in the world Billy Bishop probably destroyed the others THE AREA’S SPECIALIST (514) 263-9064 Toll free: 1-800-363-1273 PARTS DEPARTMENT We will re-open on Saturdays as of September 127 Dean Street Cowansville AINVILLE m AUTOMOBILE (1975) inc INTERNATIONAL Sales of trucks of all makes (514) 263-9232 Toll free: 1-800-363-1273 Note: We are authorized for government inspections on vehicles in excess of 3000 kg.
