( *5 sonar 9H AUBERGE 6SfS West Brome Knowlton Lions Club supports Pettes Library Green up for summer Tuesday, July 6, 2010 COURTESY At the cheque presentation, from left to right Evan Price, of the library, Michelle Major, of the Lions Club and Jana Valasek, of the library.rrihe members of the Knowl-I ton Lions Club are proud to JL offer their support to the Pettes Library with a donation of $1,000.Built in 1893 and opened in 1894 by Narcissa Farand Pettes in memory of her husband Nathaniel, it was the first free rural public library in Quebec.The citizens of Knowlton and the surrounding areas are privileged to have access to such an institution.It remains t private institution open to th< public and is governed by i Board of Directors.By Doug Hooper Almost anywhere in Europe, markets are the preferred source of fresh food.Were we to live in England or France, most of us would have to get used to that fact, if only because refrigeration is such an issue.Most European refrigerators are the size of our small beer fridges.The result is that people shop more frequently and for smaller quantities.They don’t have the luxury of storing a week’s worth of food in the giant fridge, there just isn’t room.The market is handy and food is fresh, so everyday shopping is normal.Items change too as the seasons do, so patrons are aware of the local offerings and seasonal food.Of course, there’s another advantage to going to the market besides fresh produce: people.People meet and talk.Seilers haggle and make suggestions.They know their wares and are happy to make recommendations for preparation.Friends meet while shopping and catch up since yesterday -it’s a social event.You can even sample items sometimes.Try that with a vacuum packed package of ham! We are offered very little in the way of local produce in our supermarkets, and what is presented, usually is more expensive than the factory farmed stuff.Seldom do clerks have any knowledge of the stock, and even more rare is the individual who could help with a recipe.Of course, there are markets in Canada as well.There are the Jean Talon Market and the Atwater Market in Montreal, but they’re not quite the same as local neighbourhood affairs.In fact, they’re so big they’re almost caricatures of themselves, and they’re certainly tourist attractions.The produce may come from the person behind the counter, but it’s just as likely to have come from the same warehouse as the food in your local IGA.Summer is different, though.In summer we see markets springing (pun intended) up everywhere.There are hundreds of roadside stands where local farmers try to grab a passing clientele.There are farmers’ markets in almost every community that offer food and produce from local suppliers who are proud of their work and take care to offer something special.The summer is short in Canada, and we love to enjoy all of it for as long as we can.Surely, one of the best things about the season is the abundant supply of local produce.What can be more delightful than the squish of a tomato ripe from the vine, or fresh zucchini sautéed with onions?CONTD ON PAGE 7 zFa/ndoas Seafood Œuffet ^ • Every Friday night • Fish soup • Snowcrab • Mussels • Shrimp • Scampies • Smoked fish • Oysters • Calamari and + '.'A'AJS.> • ' $37.00 STOthC'E timfeLXj.“Largest Selection Of Natural Stone In Qnebec” nii ioi I \ icfior Marble, Penn Blue, Granite, Slate Limestone, Cobble Stones, Sandstone, Ledgerock “Over 40 years of experience in the Stone Trader TEL: 450.242.0255 570 Knowlton Rd.Knowlton.QC www.STONEHAVENlNC.CA ierre Marziali pharmacien membre affilié Famiiipnx Hours: Mon.-Wed.9:00 a.m.- 8:00 p.m.Thur., Fri.9:00 a.m.- 9:00 p.m.Sat.9:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m.408 South, Cowansville 450-263-2171 www.familiprix.com Contractor UktVtU*N*>*£ | • Machiner) » ork • Hydraulic hammer irock breaker > • Pm ate road» • Land shaping • Drainage t • Artificial lake» pond» • Septic »y»*etn> • Demolition - Foundation • » Topsoil - Aggregate rVALLlÈRES«\-SjnJ ’Cmtl • Fie ld> tone yVj450) 242-2544 n,c ¦ Gnx, Io»»MXbt Reservations 450 26 6.7552 www.owb.ca page 2 Tuesday, July 6, 2010 Brome County News Brome County Community Bulletin Board July 8 Angel Forrest will offer a free performance for Maison au Diapason at the Pub du Village on Johnson Street, Granby, Thursday, July 8, 4 to 7 p.m.Reine and Real Lague, both suffering from cancer, are organizing this event.Everyone is welcome.$20 /person.Free hot-dogs and a drawing, offered by Club de Golf les Rochers de Roxton Pond, for a golf game (with cart) for 4 people.All monies will go to the Maison au Diapason.Information: Reine at 450-260-1574.Family and friends please join us.July 9 Royal Canadian Legion Summer BBQs .Come BBQ.with us every Friday night until August 27.77 Lewis Street East, Waterloo.Burgers, Dogs, fries, pou-tines.and KARAOKE every Friday night following the BBQ, starting at 7 p.m.Come on in and share your talent and have an evening of fun with us.July 10 Old-fashioned Strawberry Social.Trinity Anglican Church, 409 south Street, Cowansville from 2-4 p.m.Baked goods, book and magazine table, etc.Admission: $5.Info: 450-378-8692.Annual Book Sale at Bibliothèque Sutton Library, John Sleeth Community Center,7 Academy St., Sutton on Saturday, July 10, from 8a.m.to 3 p.m.Please bring your own bags.Browse the United Church Flea Market, Saturday July 10, from 9 until 12 at 234 Knowlton Road, Knowlton.We gratefully accept donations of items to add to our treasures.Call for info at 450-242-1465.Hope to see you there!

Tuesday, July 6, 2010 page 9 LETTER Brome County News T LETTER Thanks for interest in circular barn Dear Editor: Yesterday, Monday June 21, the Labbé home located on "Rue Principale" in front of the circular barn and the catholic church was demolished.This is the first step of a long term development of this municipal property on which the circular barn is located.At the same time, a group of volunteers of the Potton Heritage Association proceeded to dean the circular barn.Here are a few pictures.I wish to thank the volunteers of the Potton Heritage Association for their continued interest in the circular barn, an important element of our heritage to become with grants and donations an important cultural asset in Potton Township.Jacques Marcoux Maire du Canton de Potton •- "" I ' Hospital patient’s death ruled homicide Canwest News Service Police in Hamilton said the death of a 76-year-old patient at St.Joseph’s Hospital has been ruled a homicide.When the elderly man was found dead June 7, another patient was lying on top of him.That patient, a 69-year-old male, died June 24.An investigation into the cause of death of the 76-year-old man, whose name is being withheld at the request of his family, was launched the day after he was found dead.Together, the Coroner’s Office, Hamilton Police Service and a forensic pathologist ruled the 76-year-old’s death was a homicide.No information has yet been released on how the 69-year-old died.A response to B.Timmins June 15 letter in Brome County News Editor: As some of you may remember, a couple of weeks ago, June 15th, Mr.B.Timmins managed to get a letter printed in the Brome County News, which obviously was written without him having knowledge and/or having done any research on the subject which he wrote about.Actually, in my opinion, it is just more of his lies.Hopefiilly you can recall what he wrote and after reading the following, you decide.The cost of a town’s general expenditures are covered based on the actual distribution of the municipal evaluations.Upon reading Mr.Timmins aforementioned letter, it is clear, he has no idea of the evaluation of Brome lake.In the presentation of the 2010 Town of Brome Lake (TBL) budget, the Mayor distributed a document which details how the evaluation of TBL is made up, which is as follows: Bondville/Fulford — 20 per cent Iron-Hill/West Brome — 15 per cent East Hill — 15 per cent Knowlton-Victoria — 12 per cent Knowlton Lakeside — 20 per cent Foster — 18 per cent These percentages, have taken into consideration, evaluations of residential, commercial/industrial, agricultural, as well as vacant land.It would be unreasonable for anyone to expect that the majority of TBL expenses should be spent in Knowlton, when that sector contribute only 32% of the general Budget.The cost of the Provincial Police is distributed based on the evaluations, does Timmins, or anyone else, honestly believe that any sector other than Knowlton gets much police coverage?Everyone uses the roads, even the students use the roads to get back and forth to school, the tourists and Knowl-ton's out of town shoppers use the roads, perhaps Mr.Timmins does not realize that the majority of those tourists also use access roads other than 243 and 215.It would be pointless to try to explain to Mr.Timmins how or what amount of the budget gets spent for the different areas, however, if he were to either, go to a council meeting or look at an agenda for most of the council meetings, he should be able to conclude that it is not the sectors that occupy the majority of the administration’s or any other of budget area’s time.The cost of the garbage pickup is based on the number of households, which according to the same document mentioned above, is broken down as follows: Bondville/Fulford — 21 per cent Iron-Hill/West Brome — 18 per cent East Hill — 14 per cent Knowlton-Victoria —13.5 per cent Knowlton Lakeside —16.5 per cent Foster — 17 per cent These numbers could be easily verified by asking the Mayor.The only Knowlton projects that were denied during my mandate, were those which the users, ( the ones that would benefit the most) did not want to contribute their portion towards the costs, as I recall, Mr Timmins was one of those individuals.Stanley never stated that Knowlton was, or was not the “main drawing card for all of us in Brome Lake”, Mr.Timmins seems to be the one, which puts that under question.A Note: Bondville, which he never included in his description of Lac Brome, is also one of the sectors of the Town, in which he lives.Mr.Timmins would be well advised to heed his own words and “put up or shut up”, he would also benefit by looking up the definition of the term "USER PAY." Stanley Neil Fulford Second death at Quebec water park /'Ve (x: Wateh*a Canwest News Service uebec provincial police are investigating the second death in two weeks at the Mont St.Sauveur Park, north of Montreal.A 14-year-old boy died early Monday afternoon after collapsing on a staircase at the park.The cause of death is still unclear, said police Sgt.Benoit Richard.“What we know is that this boy was climbing the stairs to one of the water- slides when he appeared to be having some kind of problem,” Richard said.“He collapsed and lost consciousness.CPR was attempted, but unfortunately, he was pronounced dead at the hospital at approximately 12:30 p.m.” Richard did not know anything more about the boy, including where he was from or whether or not he had a pre-existing medical condition.On June 23, a nine-year-old boy drowned in the park’s wave pool. page 10 Tuesday, July 6, 2010 Ou Sherbrooke: (819) 569-9525 between 830 ajb.and 430 pjk.Ehmb.: classad@sherbrookerecord.com ok Knowlton: (450) 242-1188 between 9:00 aju.and 400 pj*.Brome County News CLASSIFIED Deadline: 1 p.m.Monday Or mail your prepaid classified ads to S Victoria St, Knowlton, Quebec JOE 1V0 The Record.P.O.Box 1200.Sherbrooke.Quebec J1H 5L6 W| Property for Sale 100 Job Opportunities 34$-Garage Sales 430 Pasonai IKING OF SELLING your property?My 20 award-winning years of experience is at your service.I will also support your favourite charity.Excellent references.Free estimates.Knowlton, Sutton, Cowansville regions Please call for de tails.Immeuble Roy al Broker.Shary Thompson 450 2 6 6 - 6 8 8 8 www.sharyl com 100 Job Opportunities AZ DRIVERS AND O/Os needed ASAP.New trucks have arrived.Seeking professional, safety-minded drivers to join a leading international carrier with great lanes; quality freight; dry vans; financial stability; competitive pay and benefits.Call Celadon Canada, Kitchener, ON, 1-800-3 3 2 - 0 5 1 8, www.celadon canada.com PAID IN ADVANCE.Make $1000.weekly mailing brochures from home.100% legit.Income is guaranteed!
