Gallichan: A passion for orchids ~sh;s , .s a .CATHERINE CANZANI François Gallichan’s greenhouse is like a tropical rainforest so that he can properly grow the orchids that are his passion and the specialty of his store in Dunham.By Catherine Canzani Record Correspondent Dunham Welcome to the tropics!” announced François Gallichan with a proud smile as he held the door open to his greenhouse, the gentle fragrance of hundreds of orchids wafting through the hot and humid air.Indeed, it was like stepping into the middle of the tropical rain forest.Gallichan, owner of Les Orchidées de Dunham, grows orchids exclusively.He also studies them, nurtures them and even conducts experiments with them.Gallichan, who can rattle off Greek names without stopping to catch his breath, said his passion for orchids began when his wife Melanie brought home a Phalaenopsis one day.“(This orchid) flowered for about four months,” he said.“It puzzled me, so I pollinized the flower with another one and it made a fruit.I opened the fruit and the dust fell everywhere.That’s when I decided to go out and buy a book to learn more.” Gallichan has turned his home into a kind of rooming house for plants and flowers.When you walk in, the first thing you see is a “play pen” containing some of his latest baby plants, which are on their way to the greenhouse.Next, there is his lab, perfectly sterile so new germinating plants won’t get contaminated.“When I work in here, I have to scrub my hands until they almost hurt.Then I hold them up just like a doctor before surgery, and if they touch anything, I have to start all over again,” said Gallichan, who even invented a “gizmo” which sterilizes the air in his lab.He said to do this kind of work, one must be passionate and patient.“These are pretty big seeds,” he said, holding out a few specks that looked more like black dust.“You’ve got to be passionate about orchids to do this work.These seeds will take about four years until they begin to flower, so it’s a very long wait.” He grows the seeds in a ‘secret recipe’ of a type of gel containing bananas and sap, among other things.In the center of the greenhouse stands a giant orchid which dominates the room with its delicate beauty.With a fan turned on it, its fragrance was everywhere.“Orchids can smell like anything you can imagine,” he said.“Some smell like chocolate, raspberries, soap, or even lemons.When I walk in here in the morning, it smells like vanilla.” Gallichan remembered the smell of one of his orchids, a Catleya Maxima.He See ORCHIDS, page 3 Original KHS band members in concert Saturday Reunited and ready to play sweet music again By Diahann Nadeau Record correspondent Knowlton Former members of Knowlton High School band reunited last year to play at the school’s reunion.They had such a good time that they decided to reform under a new name, continue rehearsing, and, yes, put on a show.The culmination of their efforts will be displayed before a sold-out crowd on Saturday, May 10 at Theatre Lac Brome.Band director Roger de la Mare is finding it a little overwhelming as D-Day approaches.“I’m enjoying it, it’s a good pastime.But it is kind of intimidating just before a concert!” De la Mare is a busy man these days.He just finished playing the lead in the Theatre Lac Brome play Harvey last Sunday.Harry Long, the original director and creator of the KHS band, led the reformed group last summer.He was a teacher at KHS and also conducted the Sherbrooke Symphony.Long started the original band from scratch, raising money for instruments and uniforms, teaching the kids to read music and to play.He came from Lachute to conduct last summer, but now he turned things over to de la Mare, his former assistant director.De la Mare, has some awe-inspiring shoes to fill.The KHS band was originally formed in 1951 and continued through to 1969.Seven of the original members will be playing Saturday: Roger de la Mare and brother John, Alex Rogerson, Bob Quil-liam, Ralph Davidson, Mary Ann Ladd and Sandy Martin.The opening number, Forward March, is dedicated to them, it was the first piece played by the band in its first public concert in 1952.Band members are clearly delighted to be playing together again, although the trepidation about the coming performance is evident.“I hope the audience will forgive our frailties,” joked de la Mare.“Some of these guys haven’t been involved in music for 40 years.Their lips and lungs aren’t what they used to be.” Evie Johnston-Main, who is currently the organist at St.Paul’s Anglican Church in Knowlton, has found the experience “really positive.” “It’s been nice to renew friendships that had lapsed over the years.I’ve stud-See BAND, page 6 Res.Fax 242-2233 And now, Rebel Communications __________ _

or two years - later?Do you find yourself scanning scores of unlabeled photo albums; or worse, digging through boxes of loose pictures?Larry Pyka, former corporate director of Hallmark Cards, knows exactly how you feel.“My wife and I have traveled extensively during our 33 years of marriage and put together over 50 photo albums,” Pyka said.“But, 1 was always frustrated that the album covers never reflected their contents.I i i i i I I I I I I I I I I I IT /O- ^ ^ Les Serres Cherbourg $2.00 *u fat a elofevt *£ *1*424, 0*1 *1*42 *U4A, y 'Vaiid till Çcitteî5tA, J997 3 “l 155, boul.Pierre-Laporte (near hospital) Cowansville 263-0140 had access to any photo album Hallmark created, but l found it tough to put photos of Australia in a plain blue album or one with butterflies on the cover.” Pyka’s solution was to design his own photo album prototype and wait patiently for the right time to market it.The moment came when he and his wife celebrated their 25th anniversary aboard a cruise ship in 1989.“We showed the ‘Cruise Album’ prototype to the gift shop manager, and she liked it so much that she called the cruise line’s gift buyer and set up an appointment for me to show my sample.By the time I disembarked, I had a message to call the cruise line’s buying office in Miami," he remembered.Two months later, Pyka produced the finished albums and successfully sold them to five major cruise lines.Today, Pyka’s ‘Cruise Albums’ are available with a variety of titles imprinted in blue foil, including ‘Cruise Memories’, ‘Caribbean Cruise’, ‘Honeymoon Cruise’ and ‘Alaska Cruise’.There is also a line of tour albums titled ‘Travel Memories’, ‘Faraway Places’, ‘Hawaii’ and ‘Our Honeymoon Memories’.Each album cover can be personalized with a four-inch by six-inch photo indicative of the vacationer’s trip.Pyka said his ‘Cruise Albums’ have more than 150 photos to Station KNOWLTON Station Stem Unique gift ideas at affordable prices Direct Mexican Imports Gift Baskets CAFE opening May 15th 7 Mt.Echo • Knowlton (Old Bromewood Location) (514) 242-5862 choose from, but many people opt to place their own shot in the frame featured on the white leatherette cover.The idea was so popular that ‘Cruise Albums’ is now the only photo album sold in every gift shop on every ship that is marketed in the United States, Pyka said.The albums have also been well received among travel agencies, he added.“We sell our tour albums to 3,500 agencies across the U.S.and Canada.Travel agents love to use them as gifts for clients.” ‘Cruise Albums’ contain special inside cover pages, where vacationers can list where they went and what they did, a pocket page, five press and stick photo pages and three scrapbook pages.The albums are expandable and refill pages are available.“I didn’t set out to invent photo albums but to fill a need that was obviously present,” Pyka said.“People want albums that save all the unique memories of their own special trips; that’s why they appreciate the albums we’ve created.” Previously offered only through cruise lines and travel agents, consumers may now order ‘Cruise Albums’ directly.The albums sell for $20, including shipping, handling and cover photograph.For more information, or to place an order, call 1-800-966-8236, or fax requests to 1-800-360-8872.(ARA) £ LUv, We Defiver Plants, Fresh & Dried Flowers and much more.Com and compare our quality and service.We insure the best prices in the region!

Mother’s Day For those of us living today, Mother’s Day is a cultural institution, reaching as far back as we can remember.Indeed, the tradition of honoring mothers dates back to ancient Greece and annual spring festivals honoring Rhea, the mother of the gods and goddesses.Ancient Romans hosted similar celebrations, while early Christians chose the fourth Sunday in Lent to honor the Virgin Mary, mother of Christ.The latter holiday eventually became known as Mothering Sunday in England and was expanded to include all mothers.In fact, many European countries have long-standing holidays honoring mothers, and there is an International Mother’s Day observed every May 11.Surprisingly, the American version of this holiday is relatively new, having gained national recognition only at the OF HEARTS HEART AND STROKE FOUNDATION OF QUÉBEC Tel: (819) 562-7942 Fax: (819) 564-0690 OPEN HOUSE Saturday, May 10, 2-4 p.m.Spacious 4 bedroom home, featuring an attractive custom kitchen, 2 bathrooms, attached garage, bi-energy, heating, lake access, 64 Bondville Road $110,000.Cozy rustic country home, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, garage, great private backyard, ideal family home.1043 Valley Road.Only $85,000.Lilian Sharko & Shelley Mizener Agents Affiliés Les Immeubles Coldbrook Inc.Courtier Agréé 339 Knowlton, Knowlton, Que.Brome County N Wednesday, May 7, 1997 page 15 finds its origins at the tum-of-the-century turn-of-the-century.According to the World Book Encyclopedia, Julia Ward Howe made the first known suggestion for a Mother’s Day in the United States in 1872, proposing June 2 as a day dedicated to peace.For several years, she held an annual Mother’s Day meeting in Boston, Mass.South Bend, Indiana resident Frank E.Hering launched his own campaign for the observance of Motheris Day in 1904.Three years later, Anna Jarvis of Grafton, W.Va.began a campaign for a nationwide observance of Mother’s Day, choosing the second Sunday of May as the appropriate date to honor mothers, and it is Jarvis who is largely credited with establishing the holiday in America.Jarvis also began the custom of wearing a carnation to mark the day.Tradition was to wear a colored carnation if your mother was living, a white one if she was deceased.Mother’s Day finally achieved national recognition on May 9, 1914, when President Woodrow Wilson signed a joint resolution of Congress recommending that both Congress and the Executive Departments of government observe Mother’s Day.The following year, the President was authorized to proclaim Mother’s Day as an annual national observance and Americans have wholeheartedly embraced the holiday ever since.On May 11, you’ll find many area restaurants booked, florists recovering from record orders and merchants tallying their sales of Mother’s Day cards and gifts, as the popularity of Mother’s Day endures 82 years after it’s official launch.More importantly, you’re likely to see families enjoying each other’s company and touching base with relatives spread across the country, which is certainly what its original proponents must have had in mind.(ARA) ~ m* tfènbfklge • Assurances Boulanger, Laporte • AssuExpert Brault Inc.• Labrecque, Roy, Yelle Inc.• Tanner Assurances Ltée • Viens, Meunier, Duhamel & Ass.Inc • Assurances Sutton Inc.• Tanner Assurances Ltée North Tri fliÜlilÊ La Présentation St-Paul d Abbotsford Farnham Bromont Bedford Sutton ——————¦-•¦"h FACING THE COMPLEXITIES OF THE INSURANCE WORLD., Or with me.WHO can select prudently from among several insurance companies.WHO can negotiate with them on your behalf.WHO can help you with your claims.WHO is subject to a code of professional ethics.lATION Courtiers d’assurances IK PROVINCE DE QUÉBEC The BROKER of Your best INSURANCE 35 offices to serve you in the area |^Âssuranc^iassonlnc7 .-~7 % - V0- ' ^-7 ' ‘ « V r~ - ’ 7 r - - ;y - r •.-v^ - I • Les Assurances François Bouchard Inc 1 # “1 ;
