and his relationship with town merchants.Last year, Jacques Ouimette moved the Duck Festival to a closed site in Bromont, away from Knowlton’s downtown core.Several weeks ago, the Brome Lake Chamber of Commerce announced its intention to hold its own duck festival, just before Ouimette’s Bromont festival in October.“We decided to turn the festival into a regional showcase for the region,” said Ouimette at a news conference at Knowlton’s Au Trois Canards restaurant.Ouimette said after some thought he decided it was better to agree to coexist rather than fight with the Brome Lake Chamber of Commerce and the downtown merchants association, the SDC.“We have solid friends all along the street here,” Ouimette said.“We didn’t leave because of a fight with Knowlton.We left because of security.If there had been a fire or whatever it would have been a catastrophe.” Ouimette said one of his goals with the festival was to promote the entire region.He said festival-goers will see Knowlton and other areas as a different attraction, pointing out his festival has a budget of $700,000, while Knowlton’s has a budget of $4,000.“We are not going into competition with them,” he said.“We maintain very cordial relations with the people here.” Accompanying Ouimette was Alex Hanseler, who came from the Eastern Staff The sixth edition of the Brome-Mis-sisquoi Perkins Hospital’s Bike For BMP event will be held on Sunday, Sept.12.This year’s bike-a-thon will feature two circuits to accommodate different skill levels.For the whole family, the 20-km circuit will traverse the streets of Cowansville, while the 60-km circuit will venture into the countryside.The objective this year is to raise Townships of Switzerland to meet with the chefs at the 15 restaurants and hotels in the region taking part in the festival this year.In all, five Swiss chefs, including Hanseler, will each be assigned to oversee the duck menus of three restaurants.Three new restaurants taking part this year include Les Temps des Cerises in Danville, La Falaise St.Michel in Sherbrooke and the Fourquet Fourchette in Chambly.Ouimette said he has approached some of the best restaurants in Granby, but had his offer to include them in the $25,000 towards the purchase of cardiology equipment, in particular a portable electrocardiogram.The machine can detect irregular heart rhythms, the presence of obstructed arteries and help control treatment of these problems.This particular machine is worn by the patient for a 24-hour period.As the person goes through their daily routine, the ECG registers their heart activity.That information is later transferred to a computer for analysis.festival turned down.Included in the fourth edition of the festival will be a duck race at the Bromont water park.$ome 3,000 plastic ducks will be launched on Oct.2, each with its own identity tag, to see which one finishes the course first.The ultimate winner will be the Brome-Mis-sisquoi Perkins Hospital Foundation, which aims to get $20,000 from the event.Ouimette said a second race may also be held using larger and more expensive ducks for corporations to sponsor.Sales of the ducks will begin on Labor Those who collect the most pledge money will be eligible to win one of three new bicycles, while all participants will be eligible for a variety of door prizes.Over the last five years, the Bike For BMP event has raised nearly $100,000 for the hospital foundation.All of that money has gone towards the purchase of new equipment.Pledge forms can be picked up at the BMP or at various businesses throughout the region this summer.Day weekend.Hanseler said in Switzerland duck is usually only served at the better restaurants.Duck dishes benefit from both French and Italian influences, he said.Last week’s visit was the first for Hanseler, who said he came here expecting cold weather, and not the 31 C that met him.He said he had never heard of poutine, but seemed less than impressed when he heard what it was.The Bromont edition of the International Duck Festival gets underway Oct.1 and continues to Oct.31.The main site is at the Bromont Ski Hill, with an entry fee of $8.A REPUTATION BUILT ON TRUST.A REPUTATION BUILT ON SOLUTIONS.Wood Gundy Financial Consultants believe that serving a client means more than just talk, and more than just solving problems in rtxiiine ways Wood Gundy offers investors a wide variety of services and products from personal financial planning to set directed RRSPs, stocks, bonds and mutual funds, to mention just a few.After all, our clients buih our business.Serving thar needs built cur reputation.Call today.Jim Wilson Financial Consultant (514) 847-6647 1-888-847-6300 Si The Leading Indicator.Wood Gundy Pnvak Client Investments is i division of CIBC Wood Gundy Socuntks Inc.• subsidiary of CIBC sod Member -

a Grade 6 boy named Ryan Foster (inset, with John Parry).However, it was not as clear who should be chosen as the female athlete of the year.“As I went through all the files, there were eight girls who were tied,” said Parry after the ceremonies.“There are 20 points I reserve for overall fair play, attitude, etc., and here they were tied too.I made a decision that had to be ratified by the student body and the parent group when it was announced.I awarded the female athlete of the year to all eight girls.” The exceptional eight are Lisa Dwyer, Tessa Parry, Lacey-Lynne Lemaire, Dale Robertson, Lisa Jewett, Holly Anderson, Karen Moore and Jodi Kay.Parry said never in the 28 years that this award has been given at Knowlton Academy has anything like this ever happened.Proving their talents extend beyond athletics.Parry said three of the girls - Lisa Jewett, Lacey-Lynne Lemaire and Karen Moore - also share the highest academic average at the school.These trailblazing students are the ones to watch as they carry their determination and high standards of excellence to the next stage of their lives.- Sunil Mahtani.Michelle's A Mover k %«£ Michelle Flynn Champlain College’s St.Lambert campus officially recognized the achievements of 30 young athletes during its annual Athletic Awards Banquet held at Vichy Buffet & Bar in St.Hubert.Among the winners is Michelle Flynn of Knowlton who won the Most Improved Player for women's basketball.Way to go, Michelle!

The Massey-Vanier High School graduating student hopes to enter Montreal's Dawson College in the fall to study social sciences.His advice to others who are thinking about acting is not to hurry into it."It's harder than it looks.You don't know how much time goes into it." Unlike his big brother, Alex prefers to work behind-the-scenes.He was a techie on Knowlton community theatre productions How The Grinch Stole Christmas and Jesus Christ Superstar, but moved to centre stage in Oliver Twist recently."I had too many lines and it was hard to learn a lot of them," Alex said.He, too, said he disliked the audition process and dreams of a life outside of entertainment.The 14-year-old said he would like to be a doctor.James, at only 8, is nonetheless a veteran thespian, having starred as Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol, Max the Dog in How The Grinch Stole Christmas and in a TV commercial for the Foster Parents Plan.James enjoys being part of a cast."It's fun.But I don't like it when there's a whole bunch of kids yelling and screaming at rehearsals and stuff.I like it when grownups are there." The mature youngster said he prefers the stage to TV work and is looking forward to acting again.The Knowlton Academy student recently won two awards for academic achievement.He said his favourite subject is math and he would like to work with animals one day.He has some down-to-earth advice to kids wanting to get into acting: "Don't be disappointed if you don't get the part." - Sunil Mahtani.SUTTON SATURDAY MARKET MAY 15-OCTOBER 9 IN ITS 29th YEAR, OUR FRIENDLY MARKET ON CURLEY STREET FEATURES MAPLE PRODUCTS, GLASSWARE, JEWELLERY, BAKED GOODS, AVON, CRAFTS & SUPPLIES, TOOLS, A CANTINE PLUS MANY OTHER VENDORS.EVERYONE WELCOME SATURDAYS 9 A.M.- 4 P.M.INFORMATION: (450) 538-5320 LMysteria Christmas in JuCy Sate Starting July 7th Vente Noëlen Juillet (Débutant fir 7 Juillet JCtncus *JOe corci tic* rus et*' cjifts JicuCe.ertcCs SJtiCy 25"^/» Mysteria Victorian Creations, œüectiètes and vintage clothing Créations Victoriennes, pièces de collection et vêtements d’T,poque ’Mysteria Place Sutton 20 Principale, Sutton, Qc JOE 2K0 (450) 538-5138 * §® vtf Making Movies Is Child's Play Jamie Moar Like most kids, Jamie Moar likes to pretend she's someone else.Unlike most kids, she sometimes gets paid for it.The Knowlton resident won a speaking role in the TV series Lassie and she was an extra in the movie Kayla, shot in Brome Lake."I like the experience.It was neat," she said effusively."I just think it's fun, playing somebody else."
