society Bikers raise $4500 for mrant and are now marks a second successful Saddlesore 1000 rally and for Yvon Gauthier of Marieville, a fourth.Gauthier is cur- Ironbutt’s By Caroline Kehne Record Correspondent Bedford The Ironbutt Association, a Chicago-based organization that bills itself as a long distance endurance motorcycle riding association whose motto is “the World’s Toughest Riders”, now has a few more Quebec members.At 8:15 pm Sunday night, 10 bikers pulled into the parking lot of Tabby’s Microbrewery in Bedford, the finish line for the gruelling Saddlesore 1000, a tour that requires a rider to cover 1000 miles in 24 hours.The rally participants, who included a lawyer, a Quebec provincial police officer and several businessmen, not only completed the tour, which makes them eligible for membership in the Ironbutt Association, but also raised over $4000 in pledges for Mackenzie Brault-Guthrie, the Stanbridge East infant afflicted with a rare genetic disorder.All the riders who started the race at midnight Saturday completed the tour, despite riding through almost continuous rain and thunderstorms.According to organizer Kevin Craft, the most dramatic moment came while crossing the Quebec border at Stanstead, under cover of night, into one of three lightning storms along the 1-95 corridor in Vermont.Despite the fact that rain dogged the pack throughout most of the trip, they finished within fifteen minutes of their original estimated time of arrival.The bikers reported no major rently preparing for the “Bunburner Gold” (covering 1500 miles in 24 hours) and the mother-of-all-rallies, the Ironbutt, held every two years.That event covers 16,000 miles in 16 days.Gauthier said that he learned from a ride from Dallas, Texas to Columbus, Ohio that the preparation for these events is as much mental as physical, not unlike the preparation by elite athletes.While training, caffeine or stimulants are forbidden.Workouts at the gym and long training rides build the stamina necessary to safely complete the race.One month before, a rider starts breaking his normal sleep cycle, attuning his body to sleeping in short cycles of an hour or two.“I did a 1000-mile ride in 24 hours at the end of April.I slept one hour on the bike (at the roadside) and 45 minutes in a McDonald’s,” said Gauthier, enjoying a beer after the long ride.The Ironbutt Rally, should he complete it, will take him from Huntsville (Alabama) to Los Angeles (California), on to Seattle (Washington), Portland (Oregon) and back to Huntsville in eleven days.Most of the riders chose to be driven home by family members after having a beer with their comrades.Before hitting the hay for the first time in a day, the riders presented the rally pledges of over $4000 to Brault-Guthrie family representative Julie Heath, along with an additional $500 cheque from brewery owners Diane Moreau and Patrick Dun-nigan.CARO UNE KEHNE/CORRESPONDENT Patrick Dunnigan (far left) and Diane Moreau

Brome County News Wednesday, June 13, 2001 page 5 Home for retired pets encourages adoption By Caroline Kehne Record Correspondent La Chaumière pour 4 pattes, the home for “retired” pets is facing yet another challenge in its efforts to care for homeless pets and is asking the public for help.The home, founded by animal lovers Sylvie Baril and Claudine Perret, takes in cats and dogs whose owners are forced to give them up because of old age or poor health.The partners provide a clean, safe environment in which the pets from loving families live out their lives.Success has its down side, however.La Chaumière has been deluged with abandoned pets, some surreptitiously dropped off in the middle of the night.Volunteer Jeannine Gagné said that last week alone the centre received seven abandoned dogs, some of which are pregnant.She said that the centre has reached its capacity to accommodate dogs, just as the season for peak abandonment approaches.Abandonment usually peaks over the summer months as some vaca- tioners rent country cottages, obtain a cat or dog for the summer and abandon them in the fall when they return to urban areas.La Chaumière is looking for permanent and foster homes in which to place some of its abandoned dogs.Baril and Perret urge those who are about to consider the purchase of a puppy to first consider the alternative of adopting an adult animal.The cost of adopting a dog from La Chaumière is $150 for dogs and $65 for cats.All adopted pets are neutered and vaccinated.La Chaumière currently has nearly 30 dogs both pure bred and mixed breeds from which to choose, including Labradors, a beagle, a golden Labrador, German Shepherds and various mixed breeds.They also have over 60 adult cats currently looking for a loving home.For more information about adopting or becoming a foster family for a dog or cat, contact La Chaumière pour 4 pattes at (450) 296-4219 or visit it at 1333 Rang Ste-Anne in Notre-Dame-de-Stanbridge.CAROLINE KEHNE/CORRESPONDENT The home, founded by animal lovers Sylvie Baril and Claudine Perret, takes in cats and dogs whose owners are forced to give them up b'ecause of old age or poor health.Knowlton group off to Francophone Games in Hull Cont’d from Page 1 It often comes as a surprise to locals that a trapeze school is housed in the large facility, located in a secluded wooden estate nestled near the summit of Mount Glenn.The building that is also home to l’Institut du développement de la personne, a centre for personal development and growth.The building is large and inviting, it is brightly sunlit and has a spacious interior which offers a perfect setting for the demanding physical and mental training that are an integral part of the world of athletics.The rear of the main building opens up onto a huge auditorium whose cathedral ceiling reaches 30 feet above the carpeted floor; from the ceiling are all the appendages of a gymnasium dedicated to the art of trapeze mastery.A web of thick ropes, tension lines, safety harnesses and an array of heavy cast-metal trapeze bars dangle from anchors welded to the steel frame that makes up the vast ceiling structure.The bars all hang perfectly horizontal and motionless, as if silently beckoning the gymnast to demonstrate their prowess.The school, in its third year of operation, offers trapeze lessons most often to adults and young adults, although some children have taken lessons from time to time.“The difficulty that very young adults or children have with this study is the highly focused eye-hand co-ordination and balance required to complete the movements.We find that too often the motor skills are not completely developed and so it is very hard for them to keep readjusting as they mature.” explained Dumont.And then there are the strength requirements as shown by the muscular torsos and shoulders of the athletes.“When we are not practicing on the trapeze, we spend a great deal of time exercising, stretching, arching and of course body building.” Admission to the performance is free, but the troupe will be accepting donations and gifts to help with their considerable expenses for the Hull trip.For more information, including postponement in case of rain, call 450-242-1188.To get to the centre, simply follow Glenn road off Route 243, turning left onto Paramount just before Ski Mont Glenn.DUKE, NOBLE, General Partnership % Chartered Accountants Taxation, Accounting, Financial Services, Individuals and Corporations Estate Planning and Settlement, Farm Transfers Serving the Eastern Townships community for over 35 years.Cowansville Knowlton Lennoxville 127 Principale.Suite 105 560 Ch.Knowlton 175 Queen St., Suite 203 Cowansville Ville de Lac Brome Lennoxville (450) 263-4123 (450) 243-5021(819) 346-0333 JOB OPPORTUNITY STAFF WANTED Floor staff Auto, Hardware, Sports Dept.1599 South Street Cowansville Call 1-800-CDNTIRE ext.274 MINUTES SPECIAL 2 FILMS PREPAID KONICA 400 s29" Regular $21.99 each ¦i (Valid until June 20,h-23rd) Æ,1 photo minim* Domaine du Parc, Cowansville 263-5760 jN ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ Théâtre Lac Brome Season Sponsor ROYAL BANK FINANCIAL GROUP' Professional Repertory Season • June 22-August 25 Theatre Lac Brome at the Knowlton Pub Playhouse _ ^ , H-Lc (450) 242-1395, 242-2270 www.cclacbrome.qc.ca/tlb Q*- Québec 18Ï' An Anglophone is Coming to Dinner Hank Williams, the show he never gave l!
