Brome County NEWS ¦mm Tuesday, October 11, 2011 YOUR HEATING SPECIALIST (oil, gas, electric) CMMTQ PLUMBING SINCE 1940 'idîML plomberiegoyer.com 450 263-2226 150 Sherbrooke St.Cowansville Pine Street sidewalk work begins By Frank Nixon Residents who live along Pine Street in Knowlton will start to see sidewalks before too long.Crews tore into the aging asphalt last Friday morning marking the beginning of work.The contract was awarded to DHL Bromont Inc., for “street paving and asphalt sidewalks, with a cement border,” for $165,699.35, according to the TBL council meeting minutes of Sept.6.The decision to provide sidewalks for Pine Street came, in part, as result of lobbying efforts earlier this year, by residents who live near Pine Street, including former councillor George Bristol, and long-time resident, Judith Dun-canson.At a council meeting last February, Bristol said it was an urgent safety issue - because of “speeding” and “heavy traffic” along the street, which connects Knowlton Road and Victoria Street.In June, Duncanson said she almost saw a tragedy unfold before her eyes.“I just saw yet another woman walking with a child in a stroller, with her dog, almost get hit,” she said in a second note to town hall.“Are we going to wait for some horrid accident before taking action?” ^ - TBL strategic projects for 2011 delayed Council to seek ‘mediation services’ By Frank Nixon At the Brome Lake regular council meeting held in Fulford on October 3, Mayor Gilles Decelles provided a progress report on various strategic projects.Work on rebuilding the Blackwood Dam, moving the town garages, constructing handicap access to Town Hall ’ and installing bridges for the linear path between Douglass Beach and Foster - all approved by council, in the 2011 budget, will not happen this year.The mayor has repeatedly said that one of the reasons for the delays in executing the projects is the need “to go out for public tender.” Another reason for the delays, often cited by residents, is that the council and town manager have not always worked together to implement the approved strategic projects for 2011.Council seemed to acknowledge the problem by passing a resolution where they will soon participate in a “mediation session" with a consultant.The session will last “a day-and-a-half.” At the beginning of 2011, council was expected to pass “borrowing bylaws” for $6.55 million in 2011, $3.0 million in 2012 and $1.4 million in 2013 for a total of $10.95 million, to finance strategic projects, according to the TBL 2011 budget unveiled on December 20, 2010.The latest status on the various projects is as follows: Blackwood Dam: “We have a report that was submitted that says the dam is unsafe and that we should remove the wooden doors of the dam,” said Decelles.“The report also says to remove part of the wall that has fallen down and to look at a temporary stabilization of the wall, and to close off all access to the bridge of the dam.” Work on the dam was scheduled to start in August 2011 but was put on hold until further notice, at a regular council meeting held on August 1.“It is not on the agenda, this year or next year,” said Decelles at that meeting.Four weeks later, a good chunk of the cement sidewall of the dam collapsed into Coldbrook Stream, after Tropical Storm Irene swept through the area.The concrete slab is expected to be removed sometime this month, according to the mayor.Back in 2008, an environmental study, which cost taxpayers $69,474.56, was conducted on the Blackwood Dam, by S.M.Consultants, depicting the precarious state of the dam.In addition, in May 2006, a concerned citizen brought a photo to town hall clearly showing “a huge bulge and crack” in the cement sidewall that recently collapsed.“I thought the town must have already been aware of the problem; since it was visible with the naked eye at the time, in 2006,” said Cont’d on page 6 “Food the WAY IT USED TO BE” Special: Freah Lean Ground Beef $3.10/11» Always available: Local Farm Products * Quebec Cheese ' Fresh Baked Goods Bird Seed Pet Treats t ^ur ^atonal craving.Satisfy yoMr l.oial lamb, b««f & chickens (450) 243-6888 605 ch.Knowlton, Lac Brome, Quebec, JOE 1V0 f Pierre Marziali pharmacien membre affilié Familipnx Hours: Mon.-Wed.9:00 a m.- 8:00 p.m.Thur., fri.9:00 a.m.- 9:00 p.m.Sat.9:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m.408 South, Cowansville 450-263-2171 Contractor LICENCE UQ: MI-M5-S • Machinery work • Hydraulic hammer (rock breaker) • Private roads • Land shaping • Drainage L • Artificial lakes/ponds • Septic systems U O T* H X* ^emo*'ti°n ‘ Foundation IIUV^Il X .Topsoj].Aggregate ^VAJLllfsRES.A • Sand * Gravel • Fieldstone V/\J450) 242-2544 U.ch.Gun, Boiton-Oumt Auberge mpa West Brome Reservations 450 264.7552 www.awb.ca H¥a6u/oi/18 c fea/wn/ Œujffèt • Every Friday night • Fish soup * Snowcrab • Mussels • Shrimp • Scampies • Smoked fish • Oysters • Calamari and + y page 2 Tuesday, October 11, 2011 Brome County News Fall season celebrated for one last weekend at Mont Sutton Before the first snowflakes.Pet of the week — Yankee TW’TfSÏ' 3^^ • ¦¦ If you think that events and outings for the fall season are already over for this year, think again!

Tuesday, October 11, 2011 page 3 ¦ Brome County News Potton team shines at this year’s ALS walk The Scoop Mable Hastings Helga Heath and “team captain,” David Sutherland were the driving forces behind this year’s Pot-ton team who participated in the ALS Fundraising Walk held on Saturday, August 27 in Sherbrooke.The 30-plus member Potton team raised a whopping $14,730.In total, approximately 150 people did the walk in Sherbrooke with the entire group raising around $22,000.Funds raised are used in the continuous efforts to find a cure for this devastating disease.The 1.5-hour walk on the path around Lac des Nations in Parc Jacques Cartier, Sherbrooke, covered 3.5 kilometers.“It was a beautiful day,” said team captain David Sutherland.“We made the most of our cheerful yellow umbrellas and bright blue ALS tee-shirts and after the walk we headed back to Potton for a team barbecue.” “Our group was amazing,” said Heath, “and the generosity of friends and neighbours from far and wide was truly what helped us surpass our fundraising goal as the Potton team,” she added.In early 2006, musician David Sutherland noticed weakness in his left leg as well as difficulty in performing on his clarinet.After many tests in various clinics he was finally diagnosed with familial ALS in 2008.His brother died of the disease in 2007.As the symptoms have increased David's mobility is reduced, although he is still able to walk with crutches and has no difficulty driving.He was forced to give up his music in late 2009 but is now enjoying the opportunity to do some painting and drawing and is thankful that his ALS is progressing quite slowly.When Heath, whose husband, Dennis was diagnosed with ALS last year, teamed up with Sutherland to form a team representing Potton, the two had no idea how much support they would get.The size of their enthusiastic team * ?I- ~ v ^ \ -, V*/ :v.¦•’•it* & * uAhiPom ALS Team Potton participants of friends and family numbering 30-plus termination,

meeting October 3 in Fulford and asked the always politically incorrect question.Why the absence of Anglos on staff at 122 Lakeside?Got the same “deer in the headlights'” gibberish response.I always get from our mayor and the same uncomfortable shuffling, silence from the gathered citizens.Councilor McGovern, anxious to protect and please the real back room, power at city hall (and the party responsible for the lack of Anglos) offered that he is “always served in English” whenever he goes to town hall.So am I Tommy.Indeed I would further add, always in a polite and respectful manner but I don’t know what your “answer” has to do with my “question.” Being English and damned proud of it, I don’t consider it a special privilege to converse in English in my own town hall in Knowlton.(Not yet).Perhaps being a proud “Lac Brome” councilor, you do.Councilor McGovern’s glib “always served in English” reply is verbatim to the one our previous collection of head table incompetents used, in response to questions directed towards the lack of English signs on the overwhelmingly Anglo supported and funded Centre Lac Brome.I sincerely hope a day of reckoning for our current TBL version of “Basil and the Faulty Towers Gang” is not far off.Perhaps a day of credible explanations?Why our needlessly high taxes, third world roads, toxic, decaying apparently disposable, municipal garage and Douglass beach building, collapsing dam and in the age of computers, our ever burgeoning “sans Anglo” town hall staff.Who was in charge all these years and who is responsible for the neglect and ruin of these taxpayer assets and properties to the point they can’t be salvaged?Why do the repeated “permit mistakes” by town “inspectors” have no apparent consequences?When are our “elected” officials going to “man up” and start running our town like a town, get rid of the incompetents and end the fiefdom of our long “past due” shadow mayor.Morris Croghan Fulford BCN FIATES A DEADLINES COMMUNITY

By Evelina Smith Information and Referral Coordinator Since 2007, Townshippers’ Association, thanks to an incredible collaboration with the Université de Sherbrooke's law faculty, has been offering a free legal information service to all Townshippers.This semester, Anthony Quevillon has been working at our Lennoxville office every Tuesday.He is excited about working in the community sector and is fluent in English and French, with some knowledge of Spanish.He has been extremely busy since his arrival in September and said that he finds the questions people ask him interesting and thought-provoking.Anthony receives calls about a number of subjects, ranging from child custody to wills, speeding tickets to landlord problems.Oftentimes, he is contacted because someone is not sure of his or her legal rights in a particular situation.Other times, someone contacts him to verify information or to ask if they even need the services of a lawyer.However, it must be stressed that students at the service can only provide legal information: by law, they cannot give advice or counsel.This act is reserved exclusively for practicing lawyers and legal counsellors.When not studying hard or answering legal questions at Townshippers’ Association, Anthony loves to play hockey and soccer or write about sports for a website.He also enjoys reading and playing the piano.Anthony will be in Townshippers’ Association’s Lennoxville office every Tuesday from 9 a.m.to 3 p.m.(however, he will not be here during reading week or mid-term exams).To reach Anthony you can contact him at the information and referral number at 819-566-2182 (toll free 1-877-566-2182) or by e-mail at legal-info@townshippers.qc.ca.All requests for informa- Letter COURTESY OF ANTHONY PLANTE-QUEVILLION Do you need some legal information?Contact Anthony Plante-Quevillion at our Legal Information Service today!
