Student-Community Matchmaker Program initiated by the Cowansville Academy for Lifelong Learning (CALL).“There are many benefits to this program, both to our students and to the community organizations they volunteer with,” said Annie Chrysler, career counselor at CALL and co-ordinator of the Matchmaker Program.“This project aims at getting our students involved with their community and potential employers to enhance their preparation for the world of work and to broaden their social network.” The Matchmaker Program was also created in the hopes of fostering in the students an awareness of the value and rewards associated with community service and volunteerism.In return, many non-profit organizations will benefit from the free services these students are able to provide.“Volunteering is the best thing I ever did,” said April Brown, student participant in the Matchmaker Program, who volunteers three to six hours a week at Knowl-ton Academy as a teacher’s aide for the Grade 1 class.“I had already done some volunteering and I loved it so much I wanted to do more.” Another local organization that has come on-board with this project is the Brome Missisquoi Adolescent and Youth services (BMAYS) group home, known as the Maison Contât.“We were quite interested in the project when we heard about it.We have many adolescents who find it difficult to receive tutoring in certain school subjects and they are eager to get help,” said Marsha Mailloux, educator at BMAYS.Currently, three students from CALL are volunteering after school as tutors for the 12 to 18 year olds at the group home.Other community organizations participating in this project are: Townshippers’ Association, Heroes’ Memorial Elemen- tary, Butler Elementary, Sutton Elementary, Manoir Lac Brome, Sutton Foyer and Brome Lake Optimist Club.Twenty-five CALL students are currently enrolled in the program.Those who complete a rigorous set of objectives in addition to 25 hours of volunteer time will earn two secondary five credits.“It is important to help people as well as learn new things,” said Brown.“This program will help me to get credits, but I am not just doing it for that.I love volunteering because the kids (at Knowlton Academy) seem so happy to see me.” For more information about the Student-Community Matchmaker Program, contact Annie Chrysler at 450-263-3775.Competition has become important fundraiser Flowers: Cont’d from Page 1 “The show originally began as a way to raise money, and was for some time one of the major sources of revenue for the parish,” says organizing committee member Pam Dillon.By 1951, the show had outgrown the resources of the Guild, and consequently became the responsibility of the parish, which now appoints each year a flower show committee and one or more chairpersons.This year’s committee includes, in addition to Dillon, Mary Boomhower (chair), Norma Rhicard (vice-president), Margaret Ann Cummings (secretary), Dianne Rhicard (treasurer) and Annie Rhicard.Howard Hackwell of Cowansville and Linda Adams of Clarenceville will judge the 2003 entries for this one-day event.Any area resident, regardless of religious affiliation, is invited to one or more of the competition categories.Cash prizes and ribbons will be awarded for the three top award winners in all classes.The theme of this year’s show will be ‘Life in Stanbridge East’.Class A (‘All Roads Lead To Stan-bridge East’) will include arrangements based upon notable businesses and places throughout the village, including Baker’s Bakery, Missisquoi Museum, Fire Department, Pike River, General Store and the Old Mill Bar.The competition will also include a cut flower class (Class B) in which all flowers must be grown by the entrant.The cut flower class will include categories for asters, calendulas, carnations, clarkia, cosmos, dahlias (giant, large and pompom varieties), gladioli, lilies, marigolds, nasturtiums, pansies, petunias, roses (miniature and tea), snapdragons, sunflowers, sweet peas, zinnias and a “catch-all” category for any other cut flower.For apartment dwellers, a judged class for houseplants (Class C) offers an opportunity to get into the action, with classes for basically any indoor plant Novice class (Class D) includes four categories, including a sentimental favourite, entitled ‘An Old Fashioned Christmas Tree’, revived from yesteryear by chairperson Mary Boomhower.Other novice themes include ‘The Village in Bloom’, ‘Grow Where you are Planted’ and ‘The Crown of Glory’.Children are also welcome to enter this competition, with classes for children eight years and under (Class D) and children nine to 12 years (Class E).Dillon says the organizing committee is currently going door-to-door in search of local sponsors.For detailed printed guidelines, call Dianne Rhicard at 450-248-3616 or Pam Dillon at 2484526.4PT% I Cl.SC H otsn: Li) pHilllDITilif floppy faster to every one!

in the mud t ! ihis coming Sunday (Palm Sunday) I marks the beginning of a new era JL in Quebec motoring — the arrival of right turns on red.If you happen to be at an intersection that allows it, and if the conditions are right, you can come to a stop, and then turn right.But like a lot of things it takes a government to screw something up.There will be no right turns on red (RTOR) in Montreal.As for other cities and towns, it will be up to them where and when you can turn right on a red.In Sherbrooke RTOR will only be possible 30 per cent of the time, while in Hull RTOR will be possible 70 per cent of the time.Personally, I’m expecting this to lead to confusion and accidents, as everyone fane emers - ' A hoot care specialist A P Q member Keeeipls available Manicure and Nail Care Gift Certificates available 266-0997 245 de la Rivière Cowansville (motorists and pedestrians alike) try to figure out where RTOR is and is not allowed._______ The Canadian Automobile Association has this bit of advice for drivers: Pedestrians come first.They may be unaware of the rule changes, or simply not in tune with the possibility of motorists turning where they couldn’t before.When pulling up to an intersection a driver must first see if he/she is allowed to turn right on red.Then they must also watch for pedestrians, and then check for oncoming traffic.By then the light will be green and they can turn.Funny how these things work out, isn’t it?The CAA is also reminding drivers that RTOR is a privilege, not a right.You don’t have to turn right on red if you don’t want to.“Courtesy is the watchword when, for whatever reason, the driver ahead chooses not to turn right when the light turns red,” said CAA spokesman Claire Roy.Meanwhile, the police will be enforcing a zero tolerance policy for offenders.If a driver screws up on RTOR they could Under The Hood Maurice Crossfield be handed a $138 fine, plus three demerit points.Cyclists and pedestrians can get dinged for $27.If it’s anything like when the government abolished mandatory motorcycle training, the accident rate will skyrocket (unlike everywhere else), and whoever wins the election will have to scrap IT'S NOT THE THAT’S GIVING YOU THE JITTERS.Doing your own taxes can be pretty unnerving.Leave it to the professionals to help you relax.And get you every cent you have coming.Call 1-800-HRBLOCK or visit

the Canada Safety Council is seeking to raise a little off-road awareness, namely concerning the safe use of all-terrain vehicles.First introduced as three-wheel versions in the 1970’s, the ATV exploded in popularity in the 1990’s.That popularity continues.But at the same time the Canadian Institute for Health Information has reported a 50 per cent increase in ATV-re-lated hospitalizations from 1996 to 2001.In that same five-year period, Canadian ATV sales tripled.“ATV-related activities are now the third most common cause of severe injuries next to cycling and snowmobil-ing,” said Canada Safety Council President Emile Therien, adding that most of those injuries are due to poorly-trained drivers.Children are the most at risk, with boys aged 15 to 19 being the highest risk group.Part of the problem is due to the fact that most ATV outings take place on private land, so enforcing rules concerning age, using helmets and so on, are hard to enforce.In other words, it’s up to the rider.With the onus being on the rider, the CSC offers safety courses for ATV riders.Barring that, there are a few basic rules to keep in mind: • Ride off-road only.ATVs are not road vehicles.• Wear a helmet, and protect your eyes and body.• Check the ATV before you ride, and know the owners manual.• Rider with other ATVers, but avoid bringing passengers.• Like snowmobiling, alcohol is a problem.Stay sober.• Only lend your ATV to experienced riders.• Be respectful, both of other riders and the environment.• Try to stay within your limits as a driver.While it may be hard to believe when looking out the window, the snowmobiles will be going into storage soon.After that, more people will be out on their ATVs for a good splash in the mud.Don’t let spring fever get the best of you, either at an intersection or on your ATV.Brief Bring a Friend Sunday Creek United Church will host its spring annual Bring a Friend Sunday April 13 at 9:30 a.m.This is an open invitation to anyone

the 15th annual Telephone Blitz, to be held April 8 to 19.Proceeds from the annual blitz, which has raised more than $311,000 for the purchase of hospital equipment, will aid the Brome-Missisquoi Perkins Hospital’s birthing pavilion.Past campaigns have raised funds for a variety of hospital needs, including the purchase of beds with oxygen tents, fetal monitors, hysteroscopes, pediatric beds, furniture and more.Blitz co-ordinator Réal Boucher says last year’s drive netted over $34,000, which was used to purchase a new neonatal centre, located in the operating room, designed for rapid response in the delivery of births with complications.This year’s fundraising goal of $30,000 will enable the purchase of two computer modules that will enhance the fetal monitors currently in use, enabling staff to obtain detailed monitoring of fetal oxygen levels with less stress to the fetus and reducing the need for caesarean births.Volunteers from the five participating clubs will be calling area residents during the 10-day blitz.For more information, contact the Optimist Club chapter nearest you.CAROLINE KEHNE/C0RRESP0NDENT Dr.Jean de St-Victor, BMP gynecologist, Lise Montagne,

Montreal’s English-speaking Catholic community.The idea for the sketchbooks grew out of classes given in Sutton by retired University of Sherbrooke professor Jean-Pierre Kesteman.Clerk says an original group of 80 students gradually condensed to a cluster of 15 dedicated students of local history.Under the historian’s tutelage, they were then exposed to the rigorous methodologies re- quired to meet modern historical standards.“By luck, we gathered together a group who know how to write,” says Clerk.Under Kesteman’s direction, the group compiled a library of over 50 oral interviews with Sutton’s elderly residents.The tapes of those interviews, complete with a synopsis, now reside in Heritage Sutton’s archives as a source of information for future historians.Heritage Sutton's first 45-page sketchbook was published last August and mailed to over 3,000 homes in the area.Clerk served as editor, overseeing the work of a small team of writers.Tour de Sutton publisher Denis Boulanger

has been a very good experience and now, with two volumes off our chests and with 50 per cent of the text for the next, we feel confident that it will succeed,” says Clerk.The first volume includes contributions of French and English articles by Clerk, Hélène Doucet Leduc, Jeanne Morazain, Serge Gagné, Claire Massé, Dennis Cowan, and Catherine Eberdt Grasshof.Subjects include the first survey of Sutton Township in 1792, Sutton’s agriculture past, Sutton businesses circa 1950 and a biography of Edmund Eberdt written by daughter Grasshof.Gagné describes the geology of North Sutton’s Rochers Bleus and the exploitation of the copper mineral deposits that give the pre-Cambrian formation its name.Clerk proves that history can be spicy with his own short history of area bawdy life entitled, “La vie libertine sur la frontière entre Glen Sutton et Richford au début des années 1900”.The second volume will profile ‘The Enigmatic Frederick Cutter’, an American immigrant who arrived in Sutton in 1829 claiming to be a Dartmouth College-educated physician.Clerk’s research revealed that Dr.Cutter dropped out of Dartmouth during his second year, a fact that did not prevent him from practicing medicine in Canada for nearly 50 years.Cutter, who also ran the first hotel to serve liquor in Sutton, did receive a medical degree from McGill University in 1873, which, Clerk surmises, may have been required by his appointment in 1870s as area coroner.Heritage Sutton’s Sketchbooks are available by subscription at a cost of $20 per year, which will cover the cost of two volumes.Institution and

2003 page 7 Cold wet feet: Late-season cross-country revival *• His vast literary legacy includes many verses penned in praise of his precious New England landscape in all its seasons.In one about spring (even though it wasn’t his favourite time), gravelly-voiced curmudgeon Robert Frost lamented how unpredictable these April days can be.A warm sunny breeze can lull you into thinking you’ve gone directly to May; by next morning, you could be “two months back, in the middle of March.” Were he still alive, this year he might have retreated one month further — this first week of April felt more like it belonged in February.Looking back upon the first layer, it may be said that our white winter cover was a little like federal Liberal party support: Miles wide, but only a half-inch deep.No surprise then that two weeks of March thaw made short work of it, and gave us an early start on mud, muck, and worse.Aside from sporadic flooding, these quick melt-downs continue what seems to be a fairly recent phenomenon — the absence of a decent time of transition from one season to another.Around St.Patrick’s Day, in about a 24-hour period, we went from bone-stabbing winter blasts to T-shirt days quite at home in mid-May.unless it was that special coffee.But no, the bare brown mushy landscape was real.And no one was complaining, despite the ugliness of what lurked beneath ice and snow, waiting to rise again: Woodpile debris, a tipped-over ash bucket, assorted plastic things, hillocks of dog droppings, and, Aha! that’s where I left that hammer.Also, among the litter was a broken ski pole, the old bamboo-type.I’d kept it around, thinking to repair it, then tossed it aside, recalling as to how the pair was 50 cents at a garage sale.The usable cross-country stuff was still lying about, scattered by successive windstorms.All done for another season, might as well put them in the barn, were observations made during our first attempt at a communal clean-up.But that thinking proved a bit premature.As if to rebuke those who’d fetched out the garden tools or bain-de-soleil, cold dark clouds swung by again.Even before the recent reupholstering of the land, I’d managed to work in some bonus time on the boards.The west wind had piled up a considerable drift along the east shore of the lake, which in the thaw had settled nicely into a ridge of corn snow.Meltwaters slipped away into the lake, leaving a firm, almost dry passage from one inlet to the other.But sadly, it wasn’t firm everywhere.If the bank was too steep, or the bottom a little deep, or maybe a spring working up underneath, the snow gave way.The first time was a bit of a surprise — until the last weekend of March there were fishermen out in the middle, some using four-wheelers.Still, the air was warm and the setting sun in a summer mode, so we continued.There were more sinking experiences, but back home the fireplace crackled and there were enough leftovers for another batch of special coffee.The following days we managed to avoid the old sink-holes, but each time ended up making a few new ones.It was not long, though, before rising waters made the shoreline route impassable.Unless you enjoyed getting really wet and cold, or until some manufacturer makes knee-high rubber cross-country boots.But then they’d never be accepted among those for whom good fashion taste is as important as the activity.But the local season was still not done.Another reprieve arrived, this time courtesy of more way-below-nor-mal temperatures plus a serious hit of weekend snow, though not as serious as the prediction.The inlet, scene of flowing waters for days, once more emerged as a smooth solid white surface.Success, for the most part.The ice held over the first flat stretch, and the thin layer of.wind-blown snow made for swift passage.Turned out the new snow was mostly tiny ice pellets, and the sensation was one of gliding over wee ballbearings.Trouble started in the slightly higher areas, above the beaver dam.The top seemed solid there too, but water had continued to flow out from under the new ice.Strange hollow noises came from under foot.Stopping too long, or crossing a weak spot, could bring groaning, cracking sounds, followed by a subtle loss of altitude.In some spots the loss was more than a few inches, and the inevitable wetness occurred.Nothing above the level of the calves, but much cursing and muttering was still justified.In short order it was time to loop about and head back.And while some cross-country options may be around for a few more days, they won’t always be good ones.The Country Squire Brian Eddington Brief TBL Municipal Housing Board of Directors opening Staff The Municipal Housing Office of Town of Brome Lake has an opening on the Board of

According to Adams painting is a reflection of the artist’s being and an expression of who they are.Nonetheless, acquiring the skills that underlie the form itself is as important as any inherent artistic ability.The works of a second artist that elicit strong Ladd recollections are those from Pierre Tremblay.His ‘À l’ombre du passé’ plays the stark and rigid lines of a timeworn chair against the smooth and rounded contours of the shale stone upon which it stands.Although his well delivered contrasts are very pleasing to the eye, Tremblay’s strength can be seen in the way he captures the shades of blue and grey that individualize the scene’s stones.Another familiar name at this year’s exhibit is Josée Dubé, if not only for her paintings, but also for the magnificent Ukrainian egg dying technique that she will once again this year demonstrate at the library during the two Saturdays that precede Easter.Dubé’s work is to say the least eye catching.She masters colours and light plays well, blending the two into her work with apparent ease.A good example of this can be found in her work entitled ‘Complicité’.This very attractive and well achieved painting of three young boys surreptitiously sampling the goods in a strawberry field stands as an example of how to work sunlight into bright colours.The one area that appears to remain a challenge to Dubé and other exhibitors are the facial expressions of the depicted characters.“Portrait painting is an altogether different technique that requires training and a lot of practice.” explained Ladd during a recent interview.“Just like any other type of painting, it requires that the artist be comfortable with whatever he is painting and develops the skill required to do it well." As far as technical approaches are concerned, Christianne Beauregard’s works are prime examples.While both of her entries focus on children, they differ greatly in both composition and pose.Her colourful take of a young girl offering an apple relies heavily on vivid reds and oranges to attract, while her piece depicting a boy sitting on a stoop tends to focus more on subtler colours as well as the foreground and peripheral composition.According to Ladd, the often-apparent difference one notices between two canvases completed by the same artist can be explained by a variety of subtle variables that are at play when the painter goes about developing the painting.PHIUP A.GODIN/CORRESPONDENT , Bonita Adams' Yellow Iris is an impressive play of fine textured yellows contrasted against a deep green background.In Bev Quilliams’ floral canvas, both the subject and arrangement are studied and fixed, while her tortured and beheaded mountain top maple in ‘Porcupine’s pick’ represent the kind of twisted nature-scape whose inherent surrealism renders the painting difficult to imagine.Andrée Laroque’s selection of a snowbound log home cosily nestled in a fir grove evokes a similar response, where the scene, while attractive, remains just on the edge of a reality recognized more in the mind’s eye than direct memory.At the more impressionistic end of the exhibit’s spectrum, an appealing change of brush stroke and colour mixes can be found in Linda Spear’s pieces, both of which feature crystal clear mixes of blue hued waters and vivid backgrounds that give the pieces an enjoyable interpretative leeway.Far more risqué than the exhibits mainstream, this technique, although a little restrained, is inspiring and playful.Another painter whose works are of note is Claude Grenier.His ‘Chemin d’automne’ is an everyday Townships’ country road scene that contains a number of smaller and intricately shaped elements, which collectively rather than individually contribute to a very delicate and peaceful scene.Grenier further allows his contouring paints to meld, allowing the feathering of edges to further soften the overall image.Likewise, Denise Tremblay’s country road is a well executed, exceptionally delicate balance of tones and shades that contracts sharply with her near primitive approach to a chapel scene, replete with sharp edges and defined subject areas.The Ladd student exhibit is open to THE PUBLIC UNTIL THE END OF APRIL.FOR HOURS OR MORE INFORMATION, CALL THE Pettes Library at 450-24T€128.May’s exhibit WILL FEATURE INVITED ARTISTS FROM THE COLLECTIVE ‘LART ENTRE NOUS’.

You can also combine lemon zest and almonds with maple syrup.This elegant mixture is perfect over a whole chicken or pork loin roast.Carrots can be glazed with maple syrup and acorn squash takes on a delightful new twist when glazed with maple syrup and a bit of butter.With the warmer weather just around the corner, we naturally look for lighter fare and maple syrup is versatile enough to play a role at any time of the year.You can combine maple syrup with a bit of mustard and Tabasco sauce and baste scallops before grilling them, or combine it with tomato juice, cloves and vinegar to make a sweet and sour dressing for pork chops or barbecued ribs.Make a large batch of maple barbecue sauce to stock your fridge for springtime outdoor cooking.1 like to substitute maple syrup for regular white sugar because of its wonderfully unprocessed sweetness, and because the flavour doesn’t taste as sweet as white sugar.When you incorporate maple syrup into your favourite recipe, the conversion of sugar to maple syrup is roughly equal - one cup (250 mL) of sugar can be replaced with one cup of maple syrup.Of course every recipe is different, so you may need more or less maple syrup but you can judge this as you go.Because you’re substituting a dry ingredient for a liquid one, you must also decrease other liquids in the recipe by two to four tablespoons per cup of syrup used and reduce your oven temperature by 25 F (12 C).It’s one of those trial and error experiments that you’ll work out easily enough and it’s well worth the effort.Give your desserts a maple flair by replacing brown sugar with maple syrup in your favourite sticky buns recipe.Pecan pies made with maple syrup are outstanding as is maple caramel corn, maple walnut muffins and of course, there is no substitute for the classic stack of pancakes and thick pure maple syrup flowing down the sides.Spicy Maple Scallops Serves five to six 2 pounds (1 kg) of large scallops 1/4 cup (50 mL) maple syrup 2 tablespoons (25 mL) prepared mustard 1 teaspoon (5 mL) lemon juice 1 teaspoon (5 mL) Tabasco sauce Preheat the broiler.Arrange scallops in a broiler pan.Combine syrup, mustard, lemon juice and Tabasco sauce.Brush the tops of scallops with about half the mixture and broil for approximately four minutes or until they begin to brown.Turn each scallop and brush with the remaining syrup mixture.Return to broiler and broil for another four minutes.Wine recommendation: The sweetness of scallops and maple syrup calls for an off-dry wine.Riesling works well, but an off-dry Gewurztramin-er is incredible with the spiciness of the syrup mixture.&Jfie.'Z (yumi/ Continued on page 11 pas ter s uteeial mit!
