a section for fingerprints; a record card to compile all information pertinent to the child — height, weight, hair colour, eye colour; a seal- able pouch for a snip of hair for a DNA sample; the steps to take in case of a disappearance; tips to ensure the child’s safety, as well as useful information when travelling.“The children will be fingerprinted, the booklets set up at the clinic.Hopefully, none of these booklets will ever be used.But if a child ever goes missing, having this information readily at hand speeds things up considerably,” Allen continued.See ID, Page 8 4-H Club Celebrates Achievements DAVID ANDERSON/S PE C1AL Members of the Brome 4-H Club held their annual Achievement Day at the Brome Fairgrounds this past Sunday.Judging was held on dairy and beef heifers, rabbits, chickens and scarecrows.Also judged were a variety of baked goods and vegetables.Quebec radio club to remember Fessenden in Knowlton By Maurice Crossfield Antique radio buffs will be at the Brome County Historical Society this weekend to celebrate the accomplishments of history’s first disc jockey.“The aim is not to buy and sell radios, it is to keep the history,” said Orn Arna-son, a member of the Quebec Society for Vintage Radio Collectors and the man responsible for the BCHS radio exhibit.Despite the giagntic change that voice comminications by radio had on the world, most people know little about Reginald Aubrey Fessenden.Born in 1866 on Lakeside Street in Knowlton across the road from what is now the museum, Fessenden had little trouble mastering mathmatics, languages and music.After going to Bishop’s University in Lennoxville he worked as a teacher in Bermuda before wrangling his way into a job working for Thomas Edison.In the years that followed he worked with such inventive minds as Edison, George Westinghouse and Lord Kelvin.Fessenden’s prime area of interest was in improving wireless communication.In the late 1800s he improved upon Gugliemo Marconi’s method of sending Morse code.In 1900 he successfully transmitted the human voice.On Christmas Eve, 1906, Fessenden became history’s first disc jockey, beaming a Christmas concert to United Fruit Company ships in the Atlantic Ocean from Brant Rock, Mass.Meanwhile, popular history has given the lion’s share of the credit to Marconi.But Quebec radio buffs know better.For Arnason radios have been a lifelong source of fascination.“When I was a boy my father had a German Telefunken radio that you used to have to tune in,” he said.“I used to always climb up on the chair and try to tune it in.” Decades later with the help of Marion Phelps and the BCHS, Arnason put together the museum's antique radio display.Most of the dozens of radios are from his own collection, ranging from the most basic of early receivers to See Radio, Page 5 r "V (7aûe> Coof&rre.Pharmacist affiliated with mmmmw Celine Dubeau Homeopath Tuesday • Thursday • Friday from 9 a.m.to 5 p.m.Francine Robinson: nurse Tuesday from 10 a.m.to 6 p.m.and Thursday.12 to 8 p.m.DELIVERY FREE IN SUTTON ON FRIDAY ^^^^5j«$u^owwu2«H450) 266-3966^^^^^^^^450)^242-2544^^l^tMjLP(JloeroM}i*r^^^ Contractor IKYVV UQIW-1MÇU • Machinery work • Hydraulic hammer (rock breaker) • Private roads • Land shaping • Drainage • Artificial lakes/ponds • Septic systems • Demolition - Foundation .Topsoil - Aggregate WALLIÈRES V Grave| - • Fieldstone ROCH KARNAK SHRIKERS “WU5S’* RODEO RV I | Get your tickets early.Don't be disappointed.Call 1-866-61-Rodeo (7-6336) Visa & MasterCard DAILY LUNCH SPECIAL Starting at $7.95 dTifftk Roast Beef in the Pub Every Friday $14.95 - all you can eat!

ESY WENDY JONES A horsey scent is in the air around Sutton as Robinson Stables sets out to hold its second annual horse show.The competition will feature both judging on the flat, as well as several jumping divisions.Classes are open to both English and Western riders of all levels, and all are welcome to enter.For spectatots, the day not only offers the opportunity to see the horse show but it is also a chance to enjoy the farm’s picturesque location in the heart of Sutton’s hills.The lunchtime intermission will feature a driving demonstration by Raymond Lessard and his team of four Canadians.There will be a cantine on site.The farm is located at 1038 Jordan Rd., just a few kilometres out of town.Riders who want to enter should call the Robinson Stables at 450-538-2936.Brief BCHS Museum still open Management at the Brome County Historical Society Museum want to remind art lovers that as summer winds down, it is the perfect place to unwind.Located at 130 Lakeside in Knowlton and open seven days a week from Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m.to 4:30 p.m.(Sundays from 11 a.m.to 4:30 p.m.).From WWI Fokker DVII to a collection of dolls, there is something for everyone to enjoy.Art exhibits are featured in the Centennial building throughout August by different artists.August 14.the Museum will be hosting the last antique and craft sale for this'year.tranquility immediately perceptible, Ladd makes it beckon from the canvas.Simplicity, the title of a snowscaped cattle fence that is left to herd a lonely birch tree, is both quieting and disturbing in the truism it conveys.A coup d’oeil across familiar grounds into a seemingly never ending, winter-bound countryside, this piece stands as a silent commemoration of winter.In Fantasy Flower on the other hand, potentially the best piece in the exhibit, Ladd leads us unknowingly through his depiction of clustered shore vegetation and floral punctuations as reflected in a pool of still water.The effect is both calming and slightly unnerving.Ladd explained the technique he used to achieve the calm that transpires from these pieces.“I like to paint as if I was the only person there.You know, you feel how quiet it is, when you’re feel alone in the country and can enjoy the tranquility,” he said.In his more recent pieces Ladd has been working new colours into the composition.Skies are now more precise, more realistic in the unusual tone they take on during specific moments of the day.He adds and blends colour strictly from within the inner sanctum of his painter’s eye.Ladd’s approach here is admittedly purely experimental, his last tutorial dating back to 1975 when Granby art teacher Tétrault helped him better define his subjects.A few other pieces in the exhibit are by comparison less captivating, although perhaps only by comparison.His selection for this venue was in part dictated by the requirements made upon his inventory by three other exhibits that are currently ongoing.At 75 Ladd is not even musing about painting less, not to mention retirement.“I’ve been painting for 38 years” he stated during a recent interview, less breathless in bis tone than proud of an ongoing affair with an art form that has given him so much.He credits his spouse and business manager with keeping him on track.“I guess I’ll have to stop when Phyllis decides to stop running the business.” he stated.“It’s almost more work that painting.” The Ladd exhibit is part of the Pettes Memorial Library’s art program and runs until the end of August.For times and schedule of upcoming featured guest artists, call 450-243-6128.NEW FOR FALL 2005 ACCOUNTING -

All are members of ArtsSutton, the other sculptors contributing to the show are Sylvie Belanger, Real Tougas; Jocelyne Munger, Vicki Tansey; Jean-Guy Robert, Liz Davidson, Lisa Tognon and Claude Millett."The idea is that the works of the partners should relate to each other to a certain extent.We discussed that maybe it would be fun for those visiting the exhibit to guess who worked together," explained Dmytruk.Originally, the work of one partner was to be displayed outside the gallery, the other inside, helping to underline the opposition of light and shadow, but that was modified after one of the gallery's outside works was toppled over last week."We're now aware of vandalism, so I think perhaps only two of the works will be outside — one attached to the wall — so it should be safe," continued Dmytruk, who is currently co-artistic director at ArtsSutton.Discussing her contribution to the show, Dmytruk explained: "We decided to use unusual materials — for shadow I decided on wire cages and mirrors to help show the limitation side of shadow, to explore the psychological aspect.1 tried to graphically show what shadow means to me, its opposition.Kathleen uses gauze in her interpretation of light." Founded in 1980 by a group of local artists, ArtsSutton is celebrating its 25th anniversary.The non-profit group depends on donations and memberships to get by.The group's major fundraiser — an annual garden party — was held last month."We did well — raising about $10,000.Tickets sold well, it was a beautiful day, everyone enjoyed themselves.The money we raised will help get us through the year," the co-director concluded.ArtsSutton, at 7 rue Academy, is open to the public Thursday to Sunday, 11 a.m.to 5 p.m.Light and Shadow continues at the gallery until Sept.18.Radio: Cont’d from Page 1 military communications to the forerunners of modern radios.Along with the display are some of the numerous patents awarded to Fessenden.While today’s communications devices like cell phones and sattellite radio may make old time radio seem quaint, there’s still a significant interest in collecting these pieces of history.Replacement parts can be found for almost any model, either newly manufactured or from old collections.And the rise of the Internet has put many an antique radio collector into contact with fellow audiophiles.Fessenden died in Bermuda in 1932.But his legacy lives on and can be witnessed this weekend at the BCHS grounds, coinciding with the historical society’s final flea market before the Labor Day weekend.rarassi w* wmw HO year».10,000 wishes.1- "Only Z more 20.^ io.OCOvisbfv l-800-Ze?-WISH «rww.ohildrenawi»h .ea The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada mm J* ' % ' %' Lr* ~ m - V MAURICE CROSSFIELD Knowlton radiophile Orn Arnason and fellow antique radio buffs will be getting together at the Brome County Historical Society this weekend to talk, sell and trade radios, and to remember radio inventor Reginald Aubrey Fessenden, born in Knowlton.Diane Demers Foot care specialist t APQ member C.P.A.D.Q.Receipts available Manicure and Nail Care | Gift Certificates available j 266-0997 245 de la Rivière, Cowansville HALL ACRES FARM Fresh and Frozen MILK 8, CRAIN-FED LAMB FRESH.PREPARED and VACUUM-PACKED to YOUR SPECIFICATIONS: *F Lamb Chops M Rack of Lamb *F Rolled Roasts ' Leg of Lamb M Ground Lamb M Lamb Liver & Kidney *F Lamb Sausage (& Varieties) Ask about our seasonal catering service lamb on a spit with all the trimmings Visit our Farm Kiosk Jr a «a 5 Q S a m ______________ It a 0 Ë a a a ft 1 a page 6 Wednesday, August 10, 2005 Brome C0mw0/New$ Briei Letters to The Editor Dunham metal shop destroyed A spark meeting up with some solvent is being cited as the likely cause of a fire that destroyed a welding shop in Dunham Monday.The fire broke out just before noon in the paint shop of Soudure Brault on Dunham’s main street (Route 202).Owner Paul Brault said there was probably a build-up of solvent fumes in the paint shop, and then a spark from any number of metalworking operations could have set it off.Some 75 firefighters from seven volunteer fire departments spent over six hours battling the flames.Though the building was not completely destroyed it did sustain nearly $800,000 in damages.Soudure Brault’s 27 employees are now temporarily out of work.Brault said he will do everything he can to get the company back up and working as soon as possible.The company specializes in building truck boxes and trailers.Karnak Shriners present WESTERN ROBEO FESTIVAL RODEO iturdav August 13 nOlnf Sid Tickets: $20.00 adults $11.00 Children 8 and under Eventa planned: sanctioned by Canadian Professional Riders Association Saddle Bronc Riding Bareback Riding Bull Riding Calf Roping Steer Wrestling Barrel Racing Exchanger Rider and more.CAMPERS WELCOME RV Facilities available Çà Fun for the entire family young & old!!

Brome Lake, he’s never been answerable to the public, and he’s never even lived in our beautiful town, yet he, and only he seems to run the Town of Brome lake.Two years ago I voted for Mayor Wisdom because I agreed with his widely stated priorities: A healthier retail business climate, going after available grants for crime prevention and/or walking paths; removal of junk vehicles from roadsides, keeping Mill Pond full; treating all taxpayers justly; in general, making Brome Lake responsible to its people, rather than its people subject to the town.Unfortunately nothing has been done.Dick Wisdom once called his predecessor “a man in an empty suit” a title that never appeared to fit the former feisty mayor, but remains an apt description of exactly what we don’t need at city hall.If we elect a mayor that will permit bureaucrats to control council through the mayor’s office then November’s election will be a waste of time.The principle should be that the mayor is elected to represent all of us.Recently, the right of citizens to question what the town is doing (before being passed into law) was removed at town meetings.The fact that Mayor Wisdom allowed this to happen says a great deal about his odd relationship with just about all of us.Brian Timmins Town of Brome Lake Helping kids cope with tragedy By Karen van Kampen Calgary Acts of terrorism, like the recent suicide bombings that blasted through London’s Underground, seem beyond reason and explanation when children ask us why such tragedies happen.Bombarded with television images of hatred and death, children need help calming their confusion and fear.David Kessler, grief counsellor and co-author of On Grief and Grieving (Scribner Publishers.2005) with the late Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, has released 10 Things to Help Children in Uncertain Times.Parents can refer to this list below when their families are coping with global tragedy.1.Do not try to keep what is going on from your children.Even elementary school children talk about world events, bombings and terrorist attacks.“Do I want my child to hear it from me." asks Kessler, “or third-hand from a kid in their class?" 2.During the unfolding of a tragic event, most TV is live and you cannot anticipate what your children may see.Turn on the radio or show them a pre-recorded news broadcast.3.Talk to your children about the event that is happening in simple, age-appropriate language that they understand.4.Reassure your children about their safety.Tell them that most of the world is safe and that the area you live in is safe.5.Children need words.Tell them what you are feeling and what you think about the situation.Then, encourage them to talk about what they think.6.Be proactive and find ways to help.“We're a world,” says Kessler.“But we’re also a neighbourhood.” Top up their allowance for the week and encourage them to donate money to the cause.Say a prayer or light a candle.7.Reassure your kids more than usual and make obvious gestures to show you are keeping them safe.When your kids are in bed, check on them when they are awake so they can see you’re watching over them.8.Children may not talk about their grief for weeks or months.Be there for them whenever they become upset.9.Keep up normal routines.Doing normal things in abnormal times makes us feel normal again, says Kessler.10.Understand the difference between possible and probable.Terrorist attacks are possible anywhere, anytime.but they are not probable in our lives today.—CanWest News Service Brome County News Wednesday, August 10,

contemporary art exhibit in Sutton Junction.By Philip A.Godin Record Correspondent Sutton Junction Sixty years ago last Saturday thousands of people were literally vaporized by the one million degree heat of the world’s first nuclear blast in Hiroshima, Japan.Last Saturday also marked the final episode in this year’s coming together of eight of the area’s best contemporary artists.The Collectif Spontané whose vernissage in Sutton Junction was purposely planned to coincide with the WWII atrocity, was in fact one of several world-wide acts of commemoration marking the event yearly since 1985 when the Shadow Project was initiated.The intent of the international movement is to remember the victims of nuclear weaponry and to advance the cause of nuclear disarmament.One of the Sutton Junction group’s acts of remembrance if not mild civil disobedience was to use people as live models around whom silhouettes were traced onto the roadways in white paint.Depicting the remains of victims etched into pavement in Japan, the silhouettes near the exhibit could be at best considered a disturbing collective sociological statement, at worst an improper commercial doormat.The exhibit is in its second year at the Forge d’Oll ateliers, located in this quaintly minuscule crossroads of rail and road on the outskirts of both Sutton and Knowlton.Once again there is an interesting collection of fringe artistry and classic contemporary fiction created by blacksmiths, sculptors, multimedia artists and painters.Last year's turnout barely capped 300, and as word of this year’s exhibit travelled, so did the aficionados of high end creations.Saturday’s opening night saw so many people tour the unpretentious impromptu workshop-turned-gallery that the artists themselves had barely enough room to navigate.As hoped for to the point of expectation, the collection of works adorning the walls and exterior landscape of Olivier Burnham's Forge d'Oll workshop was both stimulating and challenging.Although it would be difficult for anyone looking at the pieces to be anything but soundly impressed, as taken as a whole, the assemblage was less edgy and defiant than what was lying in wait for the unsuspecting visitor last year.Less risk artistry, less creative explosiveness perhaps, certainly too many steps back from overboard, all replaced in part by more captivating.more posed visual imagery.Thankfully not all art is art to all, and this demonstration of unique talents, tastes and attributes does well in bringing something outstanding to the table.The collectifs intention is to allow likeminded multimedia delvers an opportunity to gather each month to discuss discover and exchange.“Then we bring our work to this exhibit, regardless of where we feel it is on the scale of its evolution, regardless of whether we feel it could go further or not.” explained Jean Gaudet, whose paintings illustrate the concept particularly well.Having happened upon a striking New Brunswick landscape, Gaudet took to capturing the light as it played off trees and water.From that painting, he gradually teased out a second work, slightly less defined than the initial, less reliant on artistic realism.Then came another, and yet another until the entire exercise reached the threshold of an abstract conceptualization of the initial captivating* scene.t The mural montage is a taking look at cognitive artistic evolution.Returning this year are Burnham, Liz Davidson, Gaudet, Benoit Héguy, Sonya St-Gelais and James Teuscher.Don Davidson and Brigite Nor-mandin are the two only invitees.As if to make the point on what one can expect at the show, the series of giclées by Davidson are a as much departure form the irreverent crows she depicted on film in 2004 as one could expect.St-Gelais’ pieces are by far the most striking if not necessarily the most intricate of the works in the exhibit.What draws are the colours in her selection of photo imagery and the texture with which it is reproduced by giclée.St-Gelais has also demonstrated her ability at altering realism by adding watercolour to her oversized pre-printed canvases.“I’m gestural by nature, more figurative than abstract in style." agreed St-Gelais when asked if the titles of her pieces are as representative as they appear.The exhibit runs from 10 a.m.to 5 p.m.every day until Aug.14th at Forge d’Oll, 1057 Valley Road (Rte 215) in Sutton Junction.For more information call 450-538-0931.A TOAO&.A • DEP in English only or OEP in French immersion loeccxKkSf Mjq fMTUdd* A few places are still

Brome County by all celebrating their 10th Anniversary last July 15th.Residents, family and staff members attended the gathering.Music and refreshments were enjoyed by all.Management would like to thank all participants Début de la paix au Moyen Orient ?Après les pas positifs récents quant au retrait d'Israël de la bande de Gaza annoncé par Ariel Sharon, voilà que Benjamin Natanyahu, ex premier ministre d'Israël, a démissionné de son poste de ministre des finances dans le gouvernement Sharon.Il veut ainsi protester contre le plan de retrait car, dit-il, cela divisera la population de son pays.Cette démission affectera-t-elle le début de la première phase du retrait israélien de cette bande controversée depuis très longtemps?Environ 8,000 colons juifs doivent être retirés de la bande de Gaza à compter du 17 août et la bande doit être remise à l’autorité palestinienne.Les colons juifs qui ne veulent pas quitter l'espace occupé ont été heureux du départ de Natanyahu.Ils espèrent que d'autres ministres démissionneront aussi car “ce retrait est mauvais pour Israël.” Les extrémistes israéliens disent que Dieu est avec eux et que le retrait annoncé n'aura pas lieu.Le groupe raciste Kach a eu recours à la violence pour montrer son indignation.Un soldat qui avait déserté pour protester contre le plan de retrait a ouvert le feu dans un autobus dans le Nord du pays.Il a tué quatre Arabes Israéliens et blessé sept autres.Il a ensuite été lynché par une foule en colère.On craint maintenant que les ex- trémistes tentent d’éliminer Ariel Sharon qui fait l'objet d'une sécurité très serrée.Israël a ordonné la détention de trois activistes juifs liés à Kach.C’est la première fois que cette mesure de détention sans procès est utilisée contre des Juifs.Elle n’avait servi jusqu/ici que pour l’emprisonnement de Palestiniens.La possibilité de paix au Moyen Orient dont rêvent autant la population d’Israël que celle de la Palestine sera-t-elle encore retardée après des affrontements qui durent depuis des générations?Pourtant, les gens ordinaires des deux côtés du conflit veulent la paix et la fin de leurs souffrances.Ils essayent de communiquer avec l'autre côté pour se parler et discuter de l'atrocité de la guerre qui a causé tant de souffrances.En se parlant, les uns et les autres comprennent la peine de “l’adversaire” et des liens d’amitié se forment.Il y a deux ans, le “groupe des parents israéliens — palestiniens en deuil” a donné suite à cette idée de dialogue entre les deux populations.Reste la volonté ferme des dirigeants politiques des deux côtés à tout faire pour éliminer la terreur des enfants et de leurs familles.Peuvent-ils espérer la paix prochaine?Entre Nous Thérèse Bernard The identification clinic will take place Sept.3 from U a.m.to 2 p.m.ID: Cont’d from Page 1 “Police authorities believe that an updated identification booklet is the most useful tool if a child is lost or goes missing.” The Bedford District contains nine Masonic lodges from Lake Memphremagog to Lake Champlain.The District has manned a booth at Brome Fair for the past 10 years.“This is the first time we’ve sponsored a child identification clinic, although we have supported the Missing Children’s Network before.With everything we’ve been hearing in the news lately, we feel it’s an opportune time to offer this service to parents,” he said.Founded in 1985, the Missing Children’s Network is the only Quebec organization dedicated to the search for missing children and the prevention of their abduction and disappearance.Working in collaboration with international partners, including the Amber Alert System, over 270 children have been returned home safe and sound and thousands of other children have learned how to stay safe in doubtful situations through prevention and education programs.“We invite parents to think about this and to take advantage of this service at the Brome Fair,” Allen concluded.COURTESY MISSING CHILDREN S NETWORK Show
