APCHQ out of, a scrap yard may be for you.Longevity of the needed part is the main consideration.Will this used part give out before the car does?Some items, like a bumper, may live longer than your car regardless of how long you own it.Others, like an alternator, may not be so fortunate.OBJECTIVES I once knew a guy who spent $5 on a set of brake pads at a scrap yard.The objective: Get two more months out of the car until his income tax return came in.I myself have visited some of the finer scrap yards in our region, having spent many years driving cars that were already scouting out their own final resting places as I drove in.Some of them should have been left there.“Do you want a piece off of that one, monsieur?” “Umm, no.Actually that’s my car.” “Mon Dieu! It’s totally demolished.” Unfortunately I can’t go into detail about the location of my favorite scrap yard, because I’m not entirely sure if it is known to the authorities.It’s on a back road, and thpe office is set up inside a scrapped school bus.There are no phones and no electricity.There is however a collection of junkyard dogs that can scare the bejeepers out of you if you go snooping around unattended.The mechanics use old cars and trucks to get around, while old bull dozers and log skidders are given new life helping to pick over the automotive remains, cutting torches rattling around in the back.Like many scrap yards, it feels like you are stepping into a Road Warrior movie.PRICE Once you have found the part you need, it’s time to settle on a price.Haggling is standard practice, and easier to do if you carry cash and don’t ask for a receipt.But if there’s a chance that starter may not work, you might want to have a receipt so you can get your money back.It’s also recommended to dress for the occasion.You’re more likely to score a better deal if you shed the Armani suit in favour of something dirty and ripped.Besides, you may end up dirty and ripped helping the guy carry the part back to your car.Same goes if you startle one of the dogs.Some of today’s scrap yards are more modern and business-like, and these guys won’t bend much on the price.But negotiating is worth a shot anyway.After all, the main purpose in going to a scrap yard is to save money.There are deals to be made out there, and you never know what you’re going to find.* 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 St.Suite 105 339 Knowlton Rd.164-A Queen St.Suite 1 (450) 263-4123 (450) 243-5021 (819) 346-0333 GROW YOUR BRAIN.READ THE RECORD DAILY.RESSORTS RAINVILLE ENR.We sell suspension parts for trucks!

Brome Cw/w/j/News Wednesday, April 28, 1999 page 7 Slip, sliding away: Little luck at the last round-up Duck update, Part 2 Since monogamy seems to be having its problems everywhere else, people like to believe in the notion that many species of waterfowl mate for life.While this may be the case for the greater Canada goose and one or two close cousins, it apparently does not hold true for most of our wet-feathered friends.John James Audubon, in the original study, is especially dismissive of the ‘promiscuous’ mallard.The first motivation for finding shelter for the flightless hybrid ducks was a humanitarian one.A few year-round dwellers along the east shore decided they should not be left to the elements.While cold itself is not the enemy, a com- ygllip flpSl a ÂJs£ï S£a Check our specials in our circulars t Reclining Wing Chah at the purchase of two fk gm love seats or one sofa ^ and one love seat W X X “Rodi" J F TlLimit 1 per customer) ,~~~\ VALUE OF $629.—J store & On “ » fa 633 Dufferin Granby 372-5896 OPEN 7 DAYS TANYA TKACH/CORRESPONDENT A mallard and companion walking down Main St.in Foster.TH EVENT J No payment until 2000 year *0N AL ÎOVAL.Free Delivery Financing Credit Card accepted Monday to Wednesday 9h to 17h30 Thursday & Friday 9h to 21 h Saturday 9h to 17h Sunday Noon to 17h plete freeze-up means dehydration, starvation, and vulnerability to predators.Sitting ducks, if you will.We discussed calling the SPCA or the Humane Society, but in the end I offered our facilities for their winter care.A second reason involved a certain scientific interest, admittedly at an amateur level.The half-breeds posed several questions: Were they unique?Could they reproduce?If so, would second-generation offspring with a wild parent be able to fly?This at least offered a logical, objective excuse for continuing the search.Morning of Wednesday, Dec.23, broke upon a winter world.A skiff of snow gave a salt-and-pepper look to rock-hard turf.The lake ice, only six or eight hours old, looked hard enough to have been around for a month.Bundled up against the cold, I went down to the lake and walked north along the edge looking for the wayward ducks.Early fears about breaking through quickly vanished.Thirty, 40 feet from shore the ice was solid, milky white and several inches thick.(Besides, if it did break, the water is only about thigh depth at that distance.)

unfortunately they headed further into the lake.The out-of-season boaters returned.While the ducks were anything but fast, the cumbersome boat shuffle was slower still, and no one wanted to test the new ice any further.After all, they were only ducks, quite a bit lower on the evolutionary ladder than the sharp-toothed mammals from which we were hoping to protect them.Late afternoon, they were huddled back in the original spot.A weak pinky sun lay cold and far away upon the hills;'what little snow there was drifted aimlessly towards the dark.Our calls into the stiffening wind went unanswered.I went back again at dawn, it was Thursday, Dec.24.The ice stretched away to the west and south, four or five miles of hard white desert, empty and lifeless.I checked up the inlet, calling out to the still morning air.Had there been any witnesses, one might have been tempted to call the nearest psychiatric hospital and inquire about an escapee.I took a last look under the bridge and called one final time.A faint creaky squawk came back with the echo, unless my half-awake brain was playing tricks.But it happened again.I squinted hard at the far side and could just make out an orange bill and feet.I shuffled across the ice and came eyeball to eyeball with a single scrawny quacker.Weighed down with ice chunks on his wings and back, he could barely stand up.This being Dec.24,1 figured I better start my Christmas shopping then make straightway to the Laurentians for a family gathering.I left a few presents for friends to pick up that evening, along with a brief note: Be careful if you have to use the washroom; there’s a duck in the bathtub.• ¦ INVITATION TO OUR ANNUAL “OPEN HOUSE” Sunday, May 2,1999, from noon to 5 pm Don’t miss this unique opportunity To visit premises filled with mystery.In an atmosphere of different situations You would be able to ask many questions, Even the most original, regarding Funeral Profession.6 local artists will be on location for an exposition of their stained-glass and paintings.We hope to see many of you entering our home Thus, our profession will become better known! 403., lue de la (liuïele QmaaruiaiUe jbettU MetufUesi *7éL: (450) 366-6061 Funeral Home Chapel Brome County News Wednesday, April 28, 1999 page 9 Closing Time in Stanbridge East CAROLINE KEHNE/RECORD CORRESPONDENT n * The season is drawing to a close for the Stanbridge East Coffee House, the monthly venue for local amateur performers of pop, country and bluegrass.Recently, performers from as far as Victoriaville and Lennoxville treated the capacity crowd to three-and-a-half hours of music.The lineup included circuit regulars, Ron Haynes (pictured), Tom Kilbride, John Petronko, Terry Howell, Bill McMurray and Ernie Shumacher and coffee house organizer Ron Haynes, as well as some new additions such as Dave Gillies, organizer of Lennoxville's Café Java coffee house.Next month, organizers plan their annual barbecue and season finale, after which the musicians will pack away the spoons and Dobros until the season resumes next September.- Caroline Kehne, Record Correspondent, Stanbridge East BROMONT TERRASSE DEMOLITION EXCAVATION LANDSCAPING CONTAINER SERVICE PAVING & EARTH ROBERT LEQUIN 699 B, RUE SHEFFORD, BROMONT TEL.: (450) 534-3466 Malibu LX 1999 FINANCE REGULAR 21,780°° DISCOUNT O 7QE00 ' Air conditioning ' Air bags ' ABS brakes 1 4-speed automatic transmission ’ Engine 150 HP ' Tinted windows ' Body side mouldings ocnmu CHEVROLET -OLDSMOBILE - Interior windshield wiper - Instrumentation • Floor mats * • Radio AM/FM cassette • Bucket seats • Tilt steering wheels • Block heater 'Transport $720.00 434 Rivière, Cowansville 263-1541 CHEVROLET OLDSMOBILE -9? page 10 Wednesday, April 28, 1999 Brome County Npws Chef De Vienne and the art of grilling COUTURIERE Confection Lyne Enr.confections & réparations | other’s S/tgy 164 Bourassa Tél.: (450) 375-6918 Granby, Qué J2J1K2 Diane Demers foot care hygienist Well-traveled culinary master remains true to his Quebec roots K!
