There were lots of proud parents and excited kids.“The store was packed for the presentation, much to the surprise of Saturday shoppers, several of whom stayed to watch and were amazed at our vibrant community that supports young authors,” said McAuley.“Highlights from the winning stories were read and were received with thunderous applause.The proud faces of the young people said it all.” The contest was inspired and organized by singer songwriter Julia Rohan, working with the bookstore's owners.Rohan, with a CD of original songs currently available, and with many years of experience performing at coffee houses and festivals, turned to writing fiction after moving to the Townships in 1990.Her short stories have been published in collections (including Taproot 3 published by the Townshippers Foundation).She is currently working on a trilogy of young adult fantasy adventure books called the Weaverworld series.The contest was open to all children attending local English-language elementary schools — Knowlton Academy, Heroes’ Memorial, Butler Elementary, Farnham Elementary, Sutton School and Mansonville Elementary.Five volunteer judges read the entries and sub- mitted a short list; the group then discussed the lists and picked the winners.More than 60 young people participated, said McAuley.“Julia really deserves a big congratulations for pulling it all together.” Chloé Chartier received a $250 cash prize and certificate.The first runners-up in each grade received $50 and a certificate.Second runners up in each grade were also given mention.Chloé’s All the contest winners with Julia Rohan and husband Ted.full story and those of the first runners-up — Erika Levoy of Knowlton; Nikki Daoust of Knowlton; Amanda Smart of Sutton and Ciara Lanza of Sutton - have been published online at pivot.ca/bromebrightlights.I Ju B Canadian Food ¦ I Inspection Agency PHOTO COURTESY DANNY MCAULEY Agence canadienne d’inspection des aliments PHOTO COURTESY DANNY MCAULEY Grand Prize Winner Chloé Chartier, her mother Robin Badger and contest organizer Julia Rohan.PUBLIC NOTICE NEW REGULATIONS FOR HANDLING, TRANSPORTING AND DISPOSING OF CATTLE CARCASSES AND TISSUES The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is enhancing regulations to help eliminate bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), or mad cow disease, from Canada.Beginning July 12, 2007, there are new requirements for cattle producers; slaughterhouses; feed, petfood and fertilizer manufacturers; waste management facilities and others who handle, transport or dispose of cattle remains.Everyone involved must be prepared.Visit www.inspection.gc.ca/bse or call 1 -800-442-2342 to learn more.Canada HELP ME BUY MY CAR.ca John Russell 450 775 2898 450 263 1070 wwAaidezmQiaachetermQnauto.cj GUARANTEED TO SAVE YOU TIME & MO^IEY THE RIGHT VEHICLE - AT THE RIGHT PRICE.20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE WORKING FOR YOU!!!

Marilyn has promised to share her next trip with us after she returns from Newfoundland next fell.Our two walking tours through the Keith Somberger nature path in Bedford were enlightening and inspiring Even though most of us will probably never adventure as wholeheartedly as Louise Godin, our-guide, does into Avante Women’s Centre the culinary world of wild plants, it was interesting to be able to identify the common wild plants indigenous to the area.She is very keen to have a group meet in the fall to actually harvest and prepare a meal together, so watch for a call of interested people to participate.With the abundance of ferns, we also want to plan a fiddlehead harvest next spring.Our potluck salad luncheon did not disappoint our guests.With 22 different varieties brought in to share, we had a feast.And then there was dessert! As this was our last activity of the season, members got a quick preview of upcoming events, including a local vineyard tour, scheduled for Aug.22.It seems we all have the same habit of driving by these wonderful tourist attractions but never going in to check them out.So, Avante will be a tourist company for one day, visiting several of our local sites.We will be taking réservations the first week in August.Avante Women’s Centre is located at 2 Adhemar-Cus-son in Bedford.We offer information sessions, workshops, coffee breaks and programs in English for women of the Brome-Missisquoi area.We can be reached at 450-248-0530.Our offices will be closed for the month of July.- Barbara Bellingham pc, C53t \r /V .M ï «ft» * IT 35 minutes from Montreal !

but there were also people she taught more than three decades ago.“It is such a highlight in my life to look at the young students and know that I have taught some of their parents.To be a witness to the procession of Centre de santé et de services sociaux La Pommeraie learning and see my students from the past blossom into wonderful parents is an honour for me.” Over the years Barr saw many administrations pass through the Waterloo school, each having a distinct impact.The last five years under the administration skills of Janie Barakett “was the icing on the cake,” said Barr.Barr’s career at Waterloo totals 36 years (she took some time off to have children), but she’s not gone forever.Barr will return to the school in the fall to serve as a volunteer.She will continue with her noon-time choir sessions with the children.This choir, which involves all of the elementary grades, performs at the Golden Age Christmas Luncheon, the Legion, and at various senors residences in the area.And she has other plans, as well.“I made my dad a promise.He loved to go for drives, so I told him that when I retire from teaching I would volunteer to take seniors for drives and I would become involved with the Meals on Wheels program.I am looking forward to this change in my life.There is so much to do and see and learn.” As futurist and educator Alvin Toffler said, “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.” Connie Barr has turned children into literate adults, in all kinds of ways.Tour: Cont’d from Page 1 Knowlton was first settled with the arrival of Colonel Paul Holland Knowlton, from Vermont, who had a flour mill constructed in 1836 as well as a sawmill and a general store.In 1858 the village of Coldbrook was renamed Knowlton, in honour of its founding father.Colonel Knowlton’s businesses quickly became highly popular and their prosperity transformed the spot into a small middle-class village by the end of the 19th century.In 1894, Knowlton inaugurated the first free public library in Quebec, the Pettes Library.Meanwhile villages like Foster and West Brome appeared and quickly prospered with the arrival of the railway.Peopled by Anglicans and Methodists, these tiny settlements soon had churches of their own, as well as stores, businesses and elegant homes.In 1855, an inn and a post office were built in Knowlton, which had become home to the regional telegraph office.Knowlton became the County Seat of Brome County.As early as 1867, tourists were attracted to Knowlton, which the IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT MEASLES Since May 1, measles infections have been reported to the Direction de la santé publique de la Montérégie.We recommend that you check your vaccination records to ensure you've received the measles vaccine (R.R.O., M.M.R., antirougeoleux [anti-measles] and others).Vaccination is effective and safe.It provides the best protection against this very contagious infection.You do not need to be vaccinated if: • You've already had the measles • You were born before 1970 • You were born between 1970 and 1979 and received 1 dose of the vaccine after one year of age • You were born in 1980 or later and received 2 doses of the vaccine after one year of age The schedule for vaccinating young children remains the same: a first dose at 12 months and a second dose at 18 months.Brome County DON'T BE disappo,ntei*!
