this Thursday, July 19 from 10 a.m to 4 p.m.Starting at the Piggery Theatre in North Hatley, the tour is an easy self-guided visit to distinctive homes and gardens that are selected for their architectural, historical and horticultural significance.“This is a very important fundraiser for us, and it has proved to be very popular, said Shane Corrigan, general manager at the Piggery.“Last year the contest was centred around homes in North Hatley.This year we have chosen homes and gardens from the Hatley and Massawippi areas.This has given us new locations to explore.” John Hay, Enid Carter, Joan Drinkwa-ter, Sherry Caron, and Molly Fripp all serve on this year’s organizing committee.This huge undertaking also requires 60 to 70 volunteers as guides and security personnel on the day of the tour to keep things running smoothly.Six homes, ranging from an 1830’s farm house to a 1980 English cottage replica and two award-winning gardens have been chosen for viewing.Home one: On this site, the original farmhouse, a circa 1880 clapboard indigenous house, burnt down in February, 1966.The current building was built by Montreal architect and interior designer Harold Devitt.This house of shingle style with a Mansard roof has spacious interiors with large picture windows accenting a panoramic view of Lake Massawippi.Home two: An informal country garden is set in farmland with views in all directions.Featuring a large potager and water garden, nature plants and shrubs are used to encourage butterflies, birds and water creatures.Home three: This house of architectural design was built 12 years ago.The centre hall, with its cathedral ceiling, gives direct access to the sun deck and garden.One interesting feature of this home is the use of windows on two sides of every room, allowing them to be filled with light and colour.Home four: A mixed perennial border and small rock garden enclosed by a stone wall, overlooking Lake Massawippi.It is worthwhile to take a stroll past the enterance, which offers a typical Eastern Townships woodscape.Home five: This New England style clapboard house, built over 135 years ago, has been restructured and restored, preserving the old flooring, doors and hinges where possible.The attached ‘barn room’, which contained stalls for horses and an area for chickens, has been made into a large room for entertaining which opens onto the patio and garden.Home six: This house, built in 1811, was known as The Pellerin Homestead.When purchased in 1987, major renovations and remodelling removed the kitchen/woodshed leaving the new structure centred to the old house.The result is a delightful country home with charm and character with views of the pretty gardens beyond.Home seven: From the book ‘The Story of Hatley’ by Maude Gage Pellerin, this comfortable frame house, built in 1880 is known as the Observatory because of its grand view, both toward the sunset and over the village lying at the foot of the hill.This is another outstanding example of preservation and transformation of a near derelict house into a charming country home.Home eight: It is believed that in 1824, this farmhouse was built by a family of homesteaders.The panelled ceiling of maple in the dining room, the sun deck off the kitchen and the knotty pine kitchen itself are examples of the careful restoration and renovation that has been done to retain the craftsmanship of the period.Visitors are also asked to take time to visit the historical Church on the Village Green, built in 1828.It is the oldest Puppets to perform at Haskell Opera House The Upper Loveland Puppets will be appearing at the Haskell Opera House in Stanstead on Wednesday, July 18 at 2 p.m.Upper Loveland Puppets, created by artist and storywriter Ria Blaas, presents original marionette and hand-— puppet theatre for the enjoyment of children and adults alike.The theatre, scenery and props are all created by the artist and sculptor.Some of the stories are based on classic fairy tales, rewritten and updated by Blaas, while others are her own creation.They blend fantasy, humour and reality, while presenting the mixed spectrum of human behaviour from the most petty to the most noble.Whatever the story line is, the essential factor of the performance is the lively interaction with the young and adult audiences.This show is sponsored by the Haskell Free Library and the Dailey Library as part of their summer reading program.Admission to the event is free, but tickets are required.Call 819-876-2020 for more information.: llli» PERRY BEATON/SPECIAL

times when we have had 600-700 people on our tour,” added Corrigan.There will be box lunches and coffee available at the Hatley Church Hall be tween 11:30 a.m.and 2:00 p.m.Fruit juices and soft drinks may also be purchased.“Out of respect for the generous pee pie who have opened their homes to us, we ask that there be no smoking, photography, food or beverages in the houses or gardens," said Corrigan.A night of tall tales Public performance to be held July 20 in Lennoxville The Storytellers of Canada (Conteurs du Canada) will offer an evening of storytelling to the public on Friday June

Newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com AMIE ZACHARY, Close to 33,000 show up to Big O.for Red Sox Viewpoint Mike Hickey In total, 32,965 fans flocked to Montreal’s Olympic Stadium Sunday afternoon to cheer on the Expos and help celebrate Youppi’s birthday.Or did they?It appears that the team’s second best crowd of the season was made up of loyal Boston Red Sox fans, who made the trip by bus and car to Montreal to root for their beloved Bo Sox.Those fans were led to believe that they could arrive at the Big 0 on game day and still purchase great seats for the game.It is a feat that is simply impossible in other Major League ballparks such as Yankee Stadium and, of course, Boston’s own Fenway Park.Professional baseball players are used to being booed when playing in front of hostile crowds, but it usually happens on the road.So the Expos finally drew a decent crowd in their home ballpark, and it turned out that the fans were rooting for the other team.It was estimated that close to two-thirds of the announced attendance were Red Sox partisans, and it was strange, indeed, to see Montreal pitchers booed for pitching in close or for in-tentionally walking Boston slugger Manny Ramiirez.The game ended in a classic baseball situation.There was two outs in the bottom of the ninth, with the home team trailing 8-5 and slugger Vladimir Guerrero stood at the plate.With runners at first and third, Guerrero represented the potential tying run at the plate.But just like Casey at the Plate, there was no joy in Mudville because Guererro struck out on three pitches.But there was joy in Olympic Stadium as the visiting baseball junkies celebrated the Red Sox win.The fact that the Expos’ second biggest gate was due in more to the willingness of Red Sox fans to drive upwards of four hours, rather than Montreal’s __ desire to wish happy birthday to a Muppet wannabe is distrubing to sports fans.Talk radio shows in Canada and the U.S.called it a disgrace to have Boston fans outdo the Montreal loyalists in their own ballpark.Truth of the matter is that baseball interest is waning in Montreal and the rest of the province.After 49 years of operation, the Lennoxville-Ascot Little League ceased operations this spring.Registration is down throughout the Townships and the rest of Quebec.Which is why the Sherbrooke area is counting on next year’s World Junior Baseball Championships to revive interest 1 in the local area.The last time a Canadian city hosted the World Championships (Moncton, 1997), local registration for amateur baseball increased significantly in the following two seasons.Don Warnholtz, president of the Sherbrooke organizing committee, has stated in the past that the Games’ positive effect on minor baseball was the main reason Sherbrooke bid for the event.Warnholtz is hoping that the Expos are still in Montreal, because the presence of a big league team would add to the prestige of the tournament.Warnholtz has been quick to point out on numerous occasions that the Montreal organization has been supportive of the Sherbrooke endeavour, and plans to assist in the tournament promotion.The series with Boston ends tonight, and if the Red Sox followers are still in town, the three-game set will set a season attendance record for a series.Baseball isn't dead in Montreal.We just need to schedule more games with the Red Sox.SUUTHAM Expos second baseman Jose Vidro, middle, shown celebrating with teammates, belted a two-run homer in Sunday’s loss to the Boston Red Sox.Vidro was visibly upset in the Montreal club house after the game because of the partisan Boston fans occupying the seats.Castors season ticket sales brisk Staff During one of the more intense season ticket campaigns in recent memory, the Sherbrooke Castors major junior hockey club is proving that perseverance pays off.The Castors, who have made the playoffs the last two years, announced that as of Monday, the franchise has already sold more season tickets than last year's overall total of 633.While there is still a long way to go before the team reaches its ultimate goal of 1,200 tickets sold before its first game on Sept.14, it is definitely a good sign for the team.Earlier this summer, the Castors nearly moved to Charlottetown, PEI because of the poor attendance numbers at Palais des Sports.But the team is here to stay for now, and provided that fans will occupy seats that were empty in the past, Sherbrooke hockey will be alive and well for years to come.For ticket information, call 819-346-8789. page 14 Tuesday, July 17, 2001 = RECORD =

and Canadian Bobby Kokavec captured the doubles championship at the ATP satellite tournament Sunday evening.The duo defeated the U.S.pair of Richard Kendrick and Brandon Hawk 6-4.6-4.Morrison, who lost to Axel Pretzch of Germany earlier in the day in the singles final, was supposed to qualify to play in the event, but gained an automatic entry when two other plays withdrew.He walked away with $7,350 for the week of work.“1 had a good time here, and 1 was happy with how I played this week," Morrison told the crowd in Granby after the event.“When you’re the last player in the draw, nobody expects much of you." Morrison should see his ATP ranking increase nv than 100 spots from his current standing at 357th overall.In deals driven in part by Tiger Woods' popularity, the PGA Tour agreed to new TV packages that increase its take substantially.The contracts with ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, USA and The Golf Channel, announced Monday, run from 2003-06 and are worth approximately $850 million.That figure represents an increase of about 45 per cent from the tour's four-year television packages negotiated in 1997 and running from 1999-02.Everyone involved has Woods to thank, at least in part.Television ratings rise at least 50 per cent on average when he plays in a tournament, and can double when he's in contention.There aren't major changes in the golf schedules for ABC, CBS and NBC, although each network does lose and gain tournaments.The Players Championship will remain part of the Florida Swing, and will be played in late March from 2003-06, just a few weeks before the Masters.Rogge new IOC president Jacques Rogge, a Belgian surgeon and Olympic sailor with a squeaky-clean reputation, was elected Monday to succeed Juan Antonio Samaranch as president of the International Olympic Committee.IOC delegates overwhelmingly chose the 59-year-old Rogge for the most powerful job in international sports on the In an early sign that he was moving away from the IOC's scandal-scarred image of lavish hotel suites and first-class travel, Rogge said he wanted to live with the athletes at the Olympic Village at next year’s Winter Games in Salt Lake City."I would want to fulfill one of my dreams, that is the IOC president would sleep in the Olympic Village," he said at a news conference.“I think its the best place to be in the Olympic Games.” Rogge edged out Dick Pound, a Montreal lawyer, who finished second in the voting.Record Round-up To submit your sporting event, fax it to (819) 569-6345, email news-room@sherbrookerecord.com or contact Jamie Zachary, Correspondents’ Editor or Mike Hickey at (819) 569-6345.On TV FRANCOPHONIE GAMES • 130 pm.: Coverage of 2001 Francophone Games (RDS, TV5, RDI).BASEBALL • 7 pm.: Boston Red Sox vs Montreal Expos, RDS • 7 pm.: Toronto Blue Jays vs New York Mets, TSN lnvta What is the name of the series that determines a U.S.college football champion?Yesterday’s Answer: Six pro football players have rushed for more than 2,000 yards in a season.Baker hopes to overcome heartbreak in 2001 By Arash Madani Montreal Enter the Montreal Alouettes dressing room, deep beneath the stands at Molson Stadium.Pass through the door and past the tables of athletic tape, to the locker of the elder statesman.The captain.The leader.The kicker.It is home to Terry Baker, who at 39 keeps doing what he does best in the Canadian Football League: blasting away pigskins - either punting them deep into the heart of the field or attempting to split uprights in a season he hopes will be one of redemption for the Alouettes.After all, it was a season ago, in late November, when the Als dropped a 28-26 heartbreaker in the Grey Cup to the B.C.Lions, a title game decided with 44 seconds left when Montreal’s attempt at a two-point conversion failed.And now one of the key figures in the Als attempt to capture the franchise’s first Cup in almost half-a-century is Baker, the 15-year CFL vet who won the scoring title in 2000.“I feel like I’m just starting to reach my pinnacle of my career, where I’m starting to come into my own,” said Baker, a native of Bridgewater, N.S., standing by the locker that has, unofficially, been deemed his after an Alouettes home win earlier this month.“The way last year ended was tough.It was one of those situations where we all grow up from it, move on and are grateful for the experience.“And it makes us more hungry for the season ahead.Hopefully we’ll be able to duplicate what we did last year, but have a different finish to the end of the story.” Ultimately that is what Baker is after, especially after what he endured during the last five seasons in a Montreal uniform.Each year the team was oh, so close to the Holy Grail.In 1996, when he was an Eastern Division all-star, first in the CFL in kickoffs and second in punting, Montreal was prematurely eliminated from post-season contention.The next season, 1997, the Als came a Baker field goal away from the Grey Cup, before losing in the Eastern Conference final.Over the next two years, as the team celebrated sellouts at its downtown confines, the supporters left AKASH MADANI Terry Baker hopes Grey Cup dreams ring true for the Alouettes in 2001.heartbroken in November, again.Montreal failed to make it to the Big Dance again in 1998 and 1999, succumbing to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats both times.Then came last year’s nailbiter.And now, in a year where everyone is not only predicting, but, in fact are expecting that the Als to host a parade down St.Catherine’s Street with the cherished trophy, Baker is leading the urge to win the second ring of his career.“This team has been knocking at the door for so long and we’ve got a really good group of guys in here who care for one another," said Baker, a graduate of Mount Allison University.“Everyone in (this dressing room) wants each other to do well and I think when you become a team like that, it hurts that much more when you lose.We want to win.We want to win this year and all 39 guys on this (roster) believe we can win.” Baker’s spot in the CFL history books is already quite impressive.He is in the top-10 in most convert attempts, most converts, most field goal attempts, most field goals, highest field goal accuracy (71.89 per cent) and most singles in a season.He is also the co-leader of most field goals in a quarter (four), which he accomplished in 1994.He has never missed a convert in his career.Baker is a journeyman in the CFL.He survived the years where the mere existence of the league was in question.He kept kicking during a stint in Ottawa when the now-defunct Roughriders were in the midst of financial - and onfield - disaster, and he won a ring in Saskatchewan.Now, more than 20 years after playing high school football for the Cobe-quid Educational Centre Cougars in Truro, N.S., the married father of three has the same approach to the game he did when he first broke into the league a decade and a half ago.“I enjoy it, I really do.I enjoy being around the guys and the whole camaraderie of football,” says Baker.“I don’t know how much longer I’ll be around, but to be able to keep playing at this level and playing with people who are younger makes me feel younger too.“I feel great.I know this is a great team and there would be nothing better ¦¦¦¦¦¦ RECORD Tuesday, July 17, 2001 page 15 Canada Day Celebration in Bury Bury’s annual Canada Day celebration was held on Saturday, June 30th, with an excellent turnout of people.Although the weatherman was doing a bit of teasing, sunny skies and a nice breeze prevailed until almost suppertime.The day’s program began with the ever popular Fishing Derby in Pope’s Pond.The winner for catching the largest fish was Justin Coates.Winners in the house decorating competition were 1st Bill and Geraldine Murray; 2nd, Dennis and Irma Chapman; 3rd, Walter Hose; 4th, Joyce and Junior Thompson and 5th, Bob and Lorraine Harper.Prizes were donated by the Caisse Populaire of Bury, G.S.I., Bruno Champlain and Marché Jo-Jo.The Pancake and Sausage Breakfast and Flea Market at St.Paul’s Home, the Strawberry shortcake for the benefit of Eaton/Dudswell/Victoria Parish, the flea markets and light lunches at the Town Hall and the Salad plate at the United Cultural Center, as well as other kiosks throughout the town, were well patronized.The Children’s Parade was divided into 2 categories, the Walkers and the Wheels.Melissa Maclver and Braeden Jacklin as Scuba Divers won 1st in the Walkers’ class.Keaton Bamford as Monster Truck, was 2nd place.Courtney Broadhurst and Shayna Grey as Cats in the Hat were 3rd.In the Wheels class, 1st prize went to Justin and Meagan Flynn, Danny and Jennifer Gibeault and Alexia Goodin as “Cinderella, the Wicked Step-Sisters and the Prince.” 2nd prize went to Hilary McNab and Jesse Markey as “Living Dead”.3rd prize was won by Jacob and Chelsea Dougherty as, “Last Minute, Ya!

feel like it, including early in the morning and late at night.They bring their children, who run around screaming, eating and throwing things.Their parents never discipline them.My brothers-in-law feel free to barge in without knocking, raid my refrigerator and put their feet up on my coffee table.They never clean up after themselves.I work full time outside the home, and so does my husband.I also have children of my own.I do not have the time or energy to clean up after this horde of wild animals.The one time my husband told them to stop treating our house like a hotel, his brothers didn’t speak to him for months.He eventually gave in.After each of these episodes, my mother-in-law says how sorry she is for their behavior, but she never corrects them.She doesn’t care that they show so little respect for my home or my family.My oldest son no longer wants to live here.He said it’s a “zoo,” and he can’t wait to leave.Ann Landers How can I get these people out and still maintain family harmony?I don’t want to destroy my marriage, Ann.Please help me.— Going Wacky Dear Wacky: What you describe does not sound like “family harmony.” It’s more like a three-ring circus.As long as Mom and Dad are living in your home, your brothers-in-law will treat the place as they wish.This is YOUR house.Take control.Tell the interlopers they can no longer come in unless invited because your nerves are frayed and you need to rest — doctor’s orders.Tell your husband he must back you up.If his brothers stop speaking to him, so be it.They will not shape up until they know you mean business.Your husband should also send his brothers those medical bills with a note saying, “Your share is one-fourth.I can no longer carry the whole load.” These “boys” will continue to take advantage of you until you set some boundaries.I hope you will follow my advice.It could be liberating and restore your self-respect.Dear Ann Landers: I was wondering, what is the proper protocol when a friend goes through a divorce?Does one write a letter of sympathy the same as when a loved one passes away?When I was divorced, I received only one such letter.I was surprised to receive two letters of sympathy when my divorced spouse died.I assume the absence of letters about divorce means that people are not sure of their friend’s feelings about the split and don’t know what to write.As a result, they remain silent.I think the process of divorce is what merits sympathy.It is heartwrenching, regardless of the circumstances.Expressing sympathy for this would eliminate the mention of any feelings about the parties involved.Am I right to think such letters would be greatly appreciated?— Winter Park, Fla.Dear Fla.: Sending a letter when someone divorces is thoughtful, although there is no protocol that demands it.For those who wish to write such a note, I suggest you not say, “Sorry about your divorce.” Instead say, “I was thinking about you,” and ask, “How about lunch or dinner?” Brome County Women’s Institute annual spring meeting The Annual Spring meeting of the Brome County Women’s Institute was held on Thursday, April 26, 2001 in the Town Hall in Bolton Centre.Coffee and cookies were served to members as they arrived and Austin and South Bolton set up sales tables.President Jean Lee called the meeting to order at 10 a.m.The Mary Stewart Collect was repeated by all followed by the Salute to the Flag.Liz Davidson paid tribute to Kay Milne, a recently departed member, remembered for teaching children to have self-respect.Sylvia Hopps remembered Erma Lee.A minute of silence followed.Roll Call told us that we had members from South Bolton, Sutton and Austin and guests from Fordyce, Stan-bridge East and Dunham.New members were welcomed and recognized as Frances Lebrun, Esther Harewood and Tina Linde from Austin, Jean Logan and Darlene Sevigny from Sutton and Jane Patrick of South Bolton.After the minutes were read, the bursary forms were discussed and Sheila Needham reviewed the form, which was then approved.All of our Brome County branches have this Bursary form available for high school students or adults who live in Brome County and want to continue their education.Reda Lewis gave her Treasurer and Auditor’s report.Reda suggested that we think of some fund raising projects.There was also a resolution that each branch donated a specified amount to the Bursary fund when sending the county their annual reports, so that the Bursary can be kept going for a few years.Doris Wallet gave the Secretary's re- port of the country’s activities and membership.Sheila Needham introduced Susan Reininger, President of the Missisquoi Coummunity Radio project.Susan spoke to us about the merits of community radio and programming possibilities and also that though not yet approved by the ERTC, this project has come under jeopardy from the CBC wanting the same FM frequency.Many of our members realized the value of this English language FM community radio license and backed up our interest with letters of support to send to the CRTC before the deadline of May 3rd.Many thanks were extended to Susan for steering our attention to this worthwhile project and for attending our convention.As a note of interest, Reda told us about broadcasting our W.I.news from Granby about 40 years ago.President Jean Lee requested that the Presidents from each branch suggest names for a new executive by the fall.Our Women’s Institute Grace was sung by all and then everyone enjoyed a delicious lunch of ham, carved by Bruno Beauregard, baked potato and sour cream by Betty Needham, raisin sauce from Jane Patrick’s special recipe, and salad with vinaigrette prepared by Anne Beauregard, followed by fruit cocktail cake and whipped cream.Betty and Sheila made the cakes.Each prepared plate was served to the tables by Evelyn Durrell whose help we appreciate very much.The afternoon session began with the Opening Ode and June Royea from Fordyce, Beatrice Juby from Austin, Erma TenEyck from Stanbridge East and Ruby Sherrer from Dunham all ex- pressed their thanks on behalf of their members to the hostess branch of South Bolton for the lunch and enjoyable day.The convenors’ reports were given by Liz Davidson for Agriculture, Betty Needham for Home Economics, Doris Wallet for Publicity and she also read Pat Lahue’s report for International Affairs,

Bellevue.The fall Brome County meeting will be held at the W.I.Hall in South Bolton on September 26, 2001.The competition is fruit breads.The South Bolton W.I.asked Lucy Edwards, the Municipal
