The RECORD—Thursday, December 5, 1991—B3 Editor dissects constitutional conundrum By Julie Luoma BROMONT — “Next year is going to be one of the most unpleasant years this country has ever suffered.Unpleasant, dangerous, difficult,” the Montreal Gazette’s editorial page editor said Monday in a speech to the Yamaska Valley Canadian Club.Speaking to an audience of around 150, mostly women, mostly seniors, Joan Fraser began by suggesting that the unity debate is tainted with “crying-wolf overtones.” She reminded the audience that, in the fable, “o-ne day the wolf did come.” Fraser said that after the failure of the Meech Lake accord last year, 70 per cent of Quebecers were in favor of independence.Under such pressure, the government was forced to legislate a referendum for next year unless “the rest of Canada” comes up with an offer.This meant the federal government had to act quickly to come up with an acceptable offer.Quebec now faces a referendum because an election, which would nullify the law, is unthinkable for a party so low in the polls, Fraser said, citing the provincial Liberals’ standing at 32 per cent.WILD CARDS She spoke of “the wild cards on the political scene,” the Bloc ‘Great strains on BROMONT — Following her address to the Canadian Club Monday, Joan Fraser fielded questions and comments from the audience.A woman suggested that one of the mqjor problems facing the unity debate is over the definition of “distinct” in “distinct society.” “Distinct society means different things to different people,” the woman said.“But it doesn’t mean superior.It simply recognizes differences that exist already.” A man asked Fraser to comment on the objectivity of the francophone media in presenting unity issues to the public.Fraser said both sides see bias on the other side.And she added some French-speaking journalists “-make no bones about” being biased.Fraser said independence would lead to an increase in taxes for Quebecers — $300 a head or more, depending on the amount of people and money that would leave the province.Fraser said Quebec’s image has suffered, and this is partly because, in journalism, what makes news is frequently bad news.She said, however, that other provinces get bad PR, too, if you just go by what you read in the papers.But she agreed the responsiblity is on journalists to do a better job.One man blamed the media for Canada’s woes.“That’s where we get our information,” he said.Fraser cut him off, saying she wouldn’t go that far.A man questioned the threat of violence if Quebec were to separate.‘You can never entirely discount the possibility of violence in the dramatic unmaking or drastic remaking of the country,” Fraser responded.“Northern Quebec is the area where one should be most prepared for the possibility of some kind of violence,” Fraser added.“The Cree have made a claim that they would not want to be part of an independent Quebec.And if they wanted to do things like attack hydro lines, they could.They could make real nuisances of themselves and attract a great deal of international support.” 'O/dMy.T-^ 'try Restau^i.FRIDAY NIGHT SPECIAL All The Clam Strips You Can Eat *6.95 Enter Our Monthly Drawing for FREE MNHER FOR TWO Stamped Guest Check Means FREE MEAL!

The RECORD—Thursday, December 5, 1991—B7 Ryan’s Reform may increase West Bolton budget By Julie Luoma WEST BOLTON — Town council unanimously carried their 1992 budget Monday with decreased expenditures compared to the 1991 fiscal year.But they may have to repeat the exercise in January if Ryan’s reform, which transfers powers and bills from the provincial government to municipalities, comes into effect.The fiscal reform, forced upon municipalities by Quebec, transfers the cost of services ranging from police protection, road maintenance and mass transit form the provincial government to municpalities.The new responsibilities “almost tax some municipalities into extinction,” said West Bolton’s mayor, Fred Lahue, in a telephone interview.“I feel that they picked a poor time to require municipalities to take up a cause they wish to unload.” “I admit the government has to do something about spending,” he adds, “but in all due respect, they should be tightening their own belts instead of just getting the municipalities to.” 60,000 MORE The cost of the Ryan reform would increase West Bolton’s expenses by around $60,000 for police protection in 1992, possi- bly more, says Mayor Lahue.Another $125,000 could be tacked on in 1993 if West Bolton has to take over the maintenance of main thoroughfares which allow motorists to pass throught the municipality, now the responsibility of the provincial government.That figure breaks down into $60,000 for summer road maintenance and, if West Bolton loses its provinvial subsidies for winter road maintenance, budget costs will go up another $65,000.Councilors discussed their options for establishing a more far-reaching police force than the present provincial police services, including sharing a regional force with East Bolton, Ste-Étienne, Eastman and Austin.But councilors are reluctant to take any decisive steps in terms of police protection until they have researched all the possibilities and are certain the responsibility for police protection will fall into their hands.MORE RESEARCH “Before we get into any decisions, there’s a lot more to be done in terms of research,” the mayor said at Monday’s meeting.“If we jump into something right now, I’m afraid it will be more costly than if we look at all feasible avenues.” The mayor expects the reve- nue from the 1992 welcome tax, applied to purchases of property within the municipality, will help offset the cost of the responsibilities and expenditures that come with the fiscal reforms.Two changes in the budget were a reduction in the town’s donation to the Pettes Memorial Library, from $600 to $300 and an increase in the cost of dog licenses from $5 to $10.Councillors decided to reduce their donation to the regional library to reflect times of financial constraint.They felt the larger sum was more urgently needed last year when the library, located in Knowlton, was refurbished.URBAN PLANNING The closing issue of last month’s meeting, the renewal of the members on West Bolton’s urban planning committee, was expected to prompt sharp debate.One of the members of the committee, resident René Hébert, who has notified council of his intentions to develop land in West Bolton, could become chair of the committee because the committee elects its chair internally.The urban planning committee is in charge of drawing up a zoning plan for West Bolton.Newly-elected councillor John Minister Claude Ryan ‘picked a poor time’ to unload on municipalities, Lahue said.A new spirit of giving A national program to encourage

elected representative of West Bolton residents.He also suggested the chair should not be connected with development projects, to elmina-te potential conflicts of interest.Mayor Lahue responded to McDougall’s concerns, saying that, whether the chair is an elected councillor or not, the committee will still work democratically.Decisions will still be made and advice will be given based on the opinions of the entire council, Lahue said.In the end, council renewed the committee members: Don Badger and Robert Quilliams will sit in the committee as councillors.René Hébert, Arthur Spears and Paul Davignon will fill the five seats for residents.KEEP INFORMED Lahue said he plans to go to committee meetings to ensure the town council is informed of the comittee’s findings.No discussion of the competence or knowledge of those selected to be comittee members took place.Three part time residents from Montreal applied to sit on the committee but were not selected.The mayor suggested it would be difficult to arrange committee meetings around travelling.West Bolton residents Gail Watt and Graeme Smith also applied to sit on the committe, but were not selected.The mayor promoted the renewal of Paul Davignon’s membership, “for the simple reason that he was the first to write in to say he’d like to sit on the committee.” There was also some discussion about changing the by-law to

Ctr, VT Tel: 802-868-3555 10 p.m.10 p m.By Sharon McCully SUTTON — A visit to Katherine Marlin’s new Sutton shop can get you down.Well known for her creative flower arrangements and decorative touch, Marlin, with the help of husband Les, has expanded her business endeavors to include down-filled duvets.The duvet has its origins in Europe where the down-filled bed cover is still the first choice of Europeans to snuggle under.A morning drive through the Black Forest region of West Germany will show colorful duvets draped over Bavarian balconies breathing in the morning air.Duvets are made of down — the cluster, or three dimensional feather, of a bird.Feathers are two dimensional or flat and do not fluff like down.When down is expanded into a fluffy cluster it traps air and creates a layer between you and the cold, explained Marlin.FLUFF KING The down of the white goose is much stronger than duck down, but eiderdown, the clustered feathers of the eiderduck which habitâtes northern Europe and Katherine Marlin knows how to get down.kkokd sharon McCully Russia is the King of Fluff.Marlin says a good duvet will last a lifetime.“In these times, when people are looking for energy efficient products, a duvet makes good sense,” she said.“It’s a quality investment that will last a lifetime.It’s better for your health and your hydro bill.” But you don’t have to wait for a winter storm to enjoy the benefits of your duvet.“The beauty of a duvet is you can use it year-round,’’ says Marlin.“It insulates you — or maintains your body temperature.On those cool summer nights when all you want is a little blanket, all you need is your duvet.” Marlin buys her line of duvets from Ontario and sells them locally at a 25 per cent discount.EASY CARE Colorful duvet covers made of 100 per cent percale cotton are also available through the Sutton shop.The covers can be removed and washed regularly, while the only care required for the duvet is regular airing and a good shaking to fluff the down.Marlin began marketing the duvets as a result of her husband’s expertise in the field and her own satisfaction with the product.' “I love mine,” she said.“And there wasn’t really any place around here to buy them”.Marlin cautions buyers to beware of ‘wannabe’ duvets.Unless the duvet bears the label of the Canadian Federation of Down, the quality cannot be assured, she says.Marlin’s new shop, called Duvet Plus, is located adjacent to Flowers & Things, a shop she runs with partner Joan D’Hautrives on Main Street in Sutton.2 Hfl buy Brit* Water •filters 3/412 ZeîüRHZ Hat-’vol loomed

KNOWLTON — In addition to glass, metal and paper, this holiday season people from Brome County can look forward to recycling Christmas cards and wrapping paper at RECYCLAB in Knowlton.Gail Watt, who oversees the Saturday recycling depot, cautions that no foil wrapping paper can be accepted, and reminds people to remove any scotch tape and make sure the paper is fol-dsd rather than balled up.The Christmas cards and wrapping paper won’t be recycled, Watt says, they’ll be reused, primarily by arts and crafts classes.RECYCLAB is also collecting plastic bread-bag closures and used postage stamps.These are just some of the offshoots of Brome Lake’s one-year-old recycling program.It began when former Knowlton mayor Gilles Decelles “dropped the bee in my bonnet that the town was willing to support a recycling project,” Watt says.CO-OPERATION The depot behind the IGA in Knowlton has been open every Saturday from 9 to 1 since Nov.2.Thirty volunteers work to keep the depot running smoothly.And, Watt says, an average of 70 cars per week arrive to drop off recyclable % Gail Watt: No foil, no scotch tape and fold your paper.R.B.FINANCIAL SERVICES • Computerized Bookkeeping &

to roll, we want more people to come,” she adds.Watt is going into schools to tell students of the new depot, and the volunteers set up kiosks in stores to spread the word.RECYCLAB collects fine paper from schools and wants to begin working with offices to get their used paper “out of the garbage stream” in the new year, says Watt.PLASTIC, CARDBOARD Other projects for 1992 include regularly collecting and recycling unsold newspapers from local merchants, starting a magazine exchange with local waiting rooms and encouraging manufacturers to package their goods in shredded newspaper rather than styrofoam pellets.RECYCLAB will also look into whether it is practical for Brome County residents to recycle plastic and cardboard in 1992.The waste dropped off at the depot barely pays for its transportation, Watt says.“Recycling is not a profitable thing, but the material will be worth more money” once recy- H0.H0.H0ME DELIVERY The Record is offering a special savings of 15% on 12 month

market and factories are equipped to meet recycling needs, she says.The biggest challenge for RECYCLAB, Watt says, is to make people realize that the recycling depot is only a small part of the pollution solution.“We have to start thinking we’re responsible for the amount of garbage we make,” Watt explains.“We have to train ourselves to consume less and make less garbage, whether its being recycled or composted or whatever.Just because you recycle doesn’t mean you’re off the hook.” RECYCLAB is not the only group in Knowlton promoting “reduce, reuse, recycle.” Both the IGA and Metro food stores take five cents off grocery bills for every shopping bag a customer brings to the store to reuse.HOLIDAY GIR SUBSCRIPTION OFFER Your name.Recipient's name_____ Recipient’s address Please send

St.Thomas Anglican Church dates back to 1840s Here is another in our series of articles on churches in the Bronte County region written by local authors.By Phyllis Hamilton The territory of Rougemont was named in 1665 in honor of Sieur Etienne de Rougemont, captain of a regiment involved in the defense of Fort Sainte-Therese at St.Jean sur Richelieu.Situated between the mountain at Abbotsford and the one bearing the name of Rougemont, and bordering on the Yamaska River, the area was originally located between the French settlements along the Richelieu River and the predominately English ones of the Eastern Townships.Because of this the inhabitants, since the earliest times, have reflected a bicultural bilingual society.Many of the early settlers were British soldiers who were serving in the army to protect the forts at St.Hyacinthe and St.Cesaire from the American colo-nies in their War of Independence.The first recorded land conces- sions at Rougemont were to Pierre Picard and Jean Baptiste Beaudry in 1797.English families began arriving in the early 1800s — many of whom were Loyalists such as Dennis Downing, Peter Truax and the Batchelder family.FORESTS During the hostilities between France and Great Britain, the abundant forests of Quebec were exploited by many settlers in the years from 1809-1830.Saw mills were built in Rougemont and the wood and potash was shipped down the Yamaska River on its way to Europe.The southern slope of Rougemont Mountain was stripped of its pine and oak trees during this time.In 1818, the Standish brothers, Matthew and Robert, came from Ireland to settle on the slopes of the mountain at Rougemont, probably because it closely resembled the hills of their home country.They had been among the most prominent and active laymen of the Church of Ireland (Anglican) so it is not suprising that they actively promoted the building of a church in Rougemont.Holland America Line TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE' CRUISE LINE CONOE NASI riWELER

earrings, finely detailed in the look of gold, and a silky-soft scarf vith the teddy bears surrounded by a iestive border of holiday plaid will be a most welcome gift to fill a stocking or to place under the tree.• Try adding a few seasonal Christmas pins to a jacket or blouse to instantly add holiday spirit.Favorite images of the season, such as a snowman, Santa Claus or a sleigh in faux gold, are affordably priced to buy for yourself, or as an inexpensive gift for a special coworker.• For the fashion-minded person on your list, bold, opulent jewelry looks are an excellent choice.One of the best fashion looks of the season is the oversized chain, such as Avon’s Bold Links Necklace and Earrings, in the look of polished gold — a real head-turner that combines high fashion with a very

search of quality gifts In the weeks leading up to Christmas, children wait impatiently for the big day.Wish lists are compiled and promises of good behavior are made.The excitement of holiday parties and the fun of seasonal decorating occupy the attentions of young and old alike.In the midst of the hubbub, parents are confronted with the season’s most potentially agonizing dilemma: making the perfect gift selections for kids.Fortunately, there’s good news for adults searching for presents that are both innovative and challenging: Toys with a technolgical twist from V-Tech will still be providing hours of creative play long after the holiday decorations have been packed away.For instance, Murduck™ The Original Scrubba Ducky™, the first-ever electronic talking bath toy is sure to turn tub time into a magical playtime.When children make him waddle, Murduck "magically” says one of seven phrases, including “You quack me up,” “Waddle we do now?” and “Let’s have quackers and milk.” Batteries encased in a water-tight chamber make Murduck safe for children ages two and up and.because his body is made of soft vinyl, he is hug-gable, too.To further encourage creative play, a variety of outfits — ranging from a "Duxedo” for a formal pool party to a Baseball Uniform for ducking fly balls — are sold separately.For budding artists, Video Painter™ is an electronic sketch pad that provides an art library with more than 50 predrawn images (animals, vehicles, shapes, people and more) and the capability to draw and paint in 12 vibrant colors and six different patterns.The built-in animation brings objects to life.Video Painter hooks directly into most standard TV sets, or can be connected to any VCR to record, save and store the artist’s creations.Children can choose from a wide range of options, including the capability to personalize artwork with the lettering mode, or move, copy or enlarge existing designs to create new images and create video greeting cards.Little Smart Ryer™, a talking activity center that looks and sounds like a real jet cockpit, provides preschool pilots with an entertainment center that also educates.Playing matching and number games, exploring shapes, letters and music, and experimenting with a variety of intriguing levers and buttons are all part of the fun.Experts agree that it is valuable to stimulate childrens’ imaginations and to involve them in interactive play at an early age.By selecting Christmas gifts from the assortment of V-Tech electronic toys available at toy stores nationwide, you can be sure that the children you love will have the benefit of the latest toy technology — and the joy of playthings that encourage creativity all year round.The perfect present for anyone in the workforce At age 59, Barbara Martin went to work for a large corporation.Never having worked for a “big gun” before, it was a real eye-opener.What she experienced motivated her to write a book intended to improve the relationship between employers and employees.Specifically, she believes employees should do far better financially.“My struggle with my job turned out to be a gift.I want to share that gift with as many people as possible.” Her concern for employees is real.“I know many companies do appreciate all the effort and loyalty employees give in return for a paycheck,” she says.“These companies care enough to offer both short and long range benefits.But there are still too many hardworking people who get to the end ol their work lives and have nothing to show for it,” laments Martin.At the heart of her book.Minimum Wage to Maximum Wealth is the conviction that people need to think more about — and believe in — their value as human beings.“We’ve been conditioned to think that it’s okay for an employer to use us up and throw us away when we are no longer able to work, and not give a thought about what will happen to us.That’s not right.” She looks realistically at a lifetime of going to work every day.“You Cfjc 2)alls (fiifts Jfrom KominskyS BloomerS FEATURING a unique collection of American Folk Art, Antiques and Vermont Specialty Products • Country Afghans & Victorian Linens •

or more years of hard work and personal sacrifices, you deserve to.have more than a skimpy pension (if you get one at all) and a Social Security check that isn’t enough to feed a dog.” She is quick to point out that she isn’t asking for handouts.But she does argue for more balance in the employer-employee relationship — a balance that would be win-win for both.“When a company cares about employees, then employees care about the company.It’s too bad so many businesses can’t see the profit value in this.” Martin is convinced that much can be done (at little or no cost to a company) that would make
