Knowlton craftman’s hobby takes flight By Karen Stairs KNOWLTON—The Museum of Civilization in Hull recently purchased a goose, that for Knowlton craftsman Jack Quart, began as a lark.Quart has spent the past five years turning his preretirement, woodworking hobby into a reputable business known as Bromewood, which specializes in custom-built, hand-painted country furniture.The goose was a bit of a departure for Quart.Along with 36 other artists from across Canada, he entered the museum’s Weather Vane contest last year.“I didn’t really expect anything to come of it," Quart says.Despite low expectations, the hand carved “Goose in Flight” won second prize and now graces the museum’s plaza.SECOND SHOP Quart, who recently opened a second shop on the Ottawa Marketplace, says the exhibit has been good for business.“Last weekend two people placed orders for the goose.” Quarts job before retiring took him to Europe about 10 times a year.It was there he fell in love with the Paysanne furniture he now produces.The Paysanne style dates back to the early 19th century, when people not considered artists went from town to town painting the wood grain of expensive furniture on the cheaper quality most people had.“I’m the only one doing this type of work in our area,” says Quart, who is filling a niche in accent furniture.“It’s not something you'd want your whole house done in though,” he adds.Quart maintains a miniature reference library on painted furniture for his customers to consult, about 60 per cent of whom are from out of the area — some come from as far away as San Francisco.Quart is not bound by tradition though.STYLE “We are not copying any specific style.I even paint Shaker furniture even though if they never would have.If it doesn’t move, we ll paint it,” he jokes.The only qualification he maintains is necessary is a feel for the work.“What we do doesn't come out of a book.The painters have to be expressive with a brush, not necessarily art students." Most recently Quart has extended his operation to St.Sauveur in the Laurentians.“We kept getting asked why we weren’t there, so I found a European cabinetmaker to operate through.We compliment each other well,” he says.Bromewood now employs four to five people year round and Quart credits his daughter, who paints, and his wife for the business's success.“When I began this I wanted to be able to make a living at it." he says.“Now I’m working seven days a week.I guess necessity is the mother of inven tion.” Jack Quart's "Goose in Flight’’ graces the plaza of the Museum of Civilization in Hull.Ladies Guild hold regular meeting WEST BROME — The Ladies Guild, Church of the Ascension.met at the home of Elmma Fisher with fifteen members present.Evelyn Coughtry.President, conducted the meeting and gave the reports on the Flea Market which were very graty-fying.The annual Bazaar will be held on July 27 in the church I MADE UP MY MIND, I'M GIVING BLOOD THIS SUMMER! ***BLOOD DONOR CLINIC*** BROME LAKE \ Monday, July 22, 1991 *' ODD FELLOWS HALL 476, Knowlton Road 2:30 p.m.- 8:30 p.m.SPONSORED BY IMMEUBLES REG-GAUTHIER INC.TANNER ASSURANCES LIMITED THE LAC BROME SECURITY & THE LAC BROME FIRE DEPARTMENT m3- hall from 3 p.m.to 5 p.m.Home-baking, faneywork, w'hite elephant and surprises.Afternoon tea will be served.Come and have an enjoyable afternoon.Mrs.Fisher served tea after the meeting.Next Guild on August 1st at the church hall.r n_______aa «Beam DEBBIE POWELL Advertising Consultant Tél.: (514) 243-0088 Fax: (514)243-5155 Richard Prouix Johanne Béland ARCHITECTS 5 Victoria Knowlton, Qc.JOE 1V0 514-242-1334 PAVAGE RACINE INC.ALL KINDS OF PAVING DONE • RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL Lucien Racine, prop.(5i4) aw-seao François Racine, prop, (sm) 295-2746 We ottepl tolled tells 121, rue La Bastille, C.P.231 Cowansville, Qué.Tél.: (514)263-5656 COME AND MEET "MEGGAN” (Canada’s Most Popular Doll Artist) on Saturday, July 20th from 1 p.m.- 4 p.m.A draw for a porcelain doll valued at S400.00 wall take place.Wiw IIMll 1 1 LAKESIDE KNOWLTON, Q.C The Kidney Foundation of Canada Please sign an organ donor card, today. B4—The RECORD—Thursday, July 18, 1991 No time for horsing around, say teens By Lucinda M.Fisher For 15-year-old Sara Trew and 16-year-old Sonya White-head, both of Knowlton, lessons at the Knowlton Pony Club have blossomed into full-time summer jobs.“I first came here for riding lessons when I was 4-years old,” said Sara from the club at the end of Ball Road, ‘and I’ve been coming every year since.I’m lucky to have a summer job this year because I know that ADVERTISEMENT REAL ESTATE TODAY SHELLEY MIZENER 242-1166 USING AN AGENT TO YOUR BENEFIT Spare yourself most of the effort involved in selling your property by working with an agent.When you use an agent you can expect to pay about 6 or 7 per cent of the selling price of your property in commissions.In return for this rather substantial sum, you should demand the best service and most aggressive promotion of your property.The agent should do the advertising, screen the prospects, skillfully show your property, and practice appropriate selling techniques.Acting as your negotiator, the agent should try to obtain the highest possible price lor your property and should structure the deal so that all the terms, not just the price, are to your advantage.SOME FRIENDLY ADVICE When you invest in real estate, you soon find yourself bumping up against more varieties of professional and semi-professional experts than you can shake a stick at.Some you need and some you don’t.Some are competent, others downright dangerous to your financial health.But how do you tell which is which?And how do you pick the ones that are best for you?Realtors can provide many types of services.Knowing what they can do for you is the first step in getting the most benefit from their services.These services include finding new properties, facilitating negotiations, financing, increased market exposure, a source of market information.WHAT WILL A REALTOR S SERVICES COST YOU?When you sell your property through a real estate agent, the services are not free, of course.But the cost of the commission is often more than paid for by getting a higher price, or faster sale, than you may have by selling it yourself.And remember, if your agent doesn’t sell the property, you pay nothing.Future topics: The offer to purchase, why it is so important, Creative renovating for profit.Working farmland for profit.la caisse populaire de

at the club when she was seven-years old, and although she trained with other people in the area, she has found herself a summer job with the club due to her knowledge and hard work.“I’ve had my own horse since 1981 and I was with Judy Henderson for a while.She trained my horse but I learned a lot about stable management and horsemanship right here at the club,” Sonya said.PAYS OFF Over the past few years the girls have helped out at the club in return for lessons but, this year their know-how — collected from years of just “hanging around” horses — has paid off.“Older girls like Sara and Sonya who know the ins-and outs of running the club are a valuable commodity and they were hired this year for that magic word — money!” said Gill Sissons, president of the club.While most girls envision working with horses as glamorous and fun, both Sonya and Sara know that dealing with horses means hard work and early mornings.The fun of riding and competing is just a small part of dealing with horses.“We are here at 7 a.m.to feed, water and muck out and then we begin to get the horses and ponies ready for lessons.We have to brush them, tack them up and if necessary lead the beginners around.We also answer the phone, do the office work, clean tack, hand out free advice, help at shows, schedule lessons plus the countless details that go with the job.” TOO HOT Because of the afternoon heat, there are no afternoon lessons and the girls are free at noon until 5 p.m.Then it’s back to the club for night feeding and chores and some jumping lessons or trail rides for the more advanced group, “We go home when the chores are done and the horses are organized for the night,” Sara said.“There’s no set finishing time.” Another individual who can be credited with the club’s great success this summer is new instructor Diana D’Artois.The club has taken on a whole new look since her arrival and new paint in a spotless office, pastel colored jumps, boxes of blooming flowers.Cleanliness and an air of efficiency has not gone unnoticed.One mother, watching her child on a horse cantering around the ring under D’Artois’ eagle eye, said “There’s a really good group of parents here this year.Some of them rode as children so they have a vested interest in seeing the club go well and in seeing that their kids have fun.In the past it has sometimes been hard to get parents to participate and help but this year things will be different.” MEMBERSHIP Club membership is doing well this year too and most of the classes are full.Add to that an influx of new horses and you’ve got success with a capital S.“In the past sometimes we’ve only had 13 or 14 animals,” said Sonya.“But this year we’ve been lent some terrific horses so there’s a good selection, about 19 in all.” Take a drive or a stroll down Ball Road and you’ll come across the bustling energy of the club.Younger siblings are rounding up fluffy kittens in ihe back shed, patient horses carry their charges around the ring, rotund, and frequently cheeky ponies nibble at grass and there are smiles and grins as budding young equestrians tackle the chores that go hand-in-hand with good horsemanship.And behind the scenes greasing the wheels to keep the club running smoothly are Sara and Sonya, the two girls who probably never dreamed that, one day, they would find the almost perfect summer job.working with horses.J**#**;- 4t> * *•; ^ - « Learning the ropes at the Pony Club.PHOTO/LUCINDA FISHER the hook nook Open 1 Days a week Sundays: Noon to 5:00 p.m.20 Main Street, Sutton, Qr

Their daughters Ann, Mary, Susan and Barbara have all worked at the store at one time or another; son Allen is there full time.“We all started off when we were kids,” Bob says.“We started with washing shelves and dusting, then later moved up to serving customers." Next in line are Bob and Joan’s grandchildren — “eight so far and more on the way".But the oldest is only five years old.so it will be a couple of years before they start washing shelves at Edwards store.Says Bob: “I hope one of them wants to be a retailer." ¥ I- V* fm -m fiMM
