their positions are both terribly correct and absolutely immoral at the same time.They understand one another’s criminal nature, while McCleavy, who is morally upright inside and out, is drowning in disgust and disillusionment, and even his religion is letting him down.The only stereotypical character as the middle-class Brit whose home is his castle and authority rules unquestioned, McCleavy suffers the most as goodness does not triumph in Orton’s world.The cast is uniformly strong, with Diana Fajrajsl leading as Fay, the deliciously evil private nurse.She conveys respectability and criminality with equal credibility.Greg Kramer is marvelous as the annoyingly officious and cheerfully cor- rupt Truscott of the Yard, Glenn Roy makes a believably confused and destroyed McCleavy, Rob Torr is perfect as his insouciantly depraved son who cannot tell a lie, and Brett Watson is also well cast as the swain/thug/undertaker who can proudly lay claim to five illegitimate pregnancies.Emma Stevens has only a few moments on stage as the stodgy policewoman and Methodist, Officer Meadows.The dialogue is quick, the pacing re lentlessly fast and the script smart, with many layers of social critique to give it more depth than we expect from comedy.The subject matter will no doubt offend some, revolving as it does around body-snatching, corruption and caustic insults to Roman Catholicism.The British accents are well done and some audience members may have difficulty understanding them.Loot was written in 1965 and produced a year later.By September 1967, Orton was dead at the age of 34.The first production was electrifying and shocking 30 years ago; it says much for Orton’s abilities that Loot does not feel dated.Loot is one of the most intelligent and interesting comedies to play in the area in a long time.Please call Theatre Lac Brome for reservations and show dates.Dinner-theatre specials are available.Tel: (450) 242-1395.Antique woodworking tools, Primitives, Furniture, Trunks, Collectibles, Glass, Porcelain, Jewellery, Books, Fishing Equipment, Local Crafts Directions;

stimulating young people to use their creative bent.For a second-straight year Cookson organized a Spring in Potton art contest for kids between the ages of 10 and 12.Cash prizes totaled $150.“The reason for doing it is to encourage children,” she says, “to practice art, to look at art and to give them a goal.” Winners included: 1st ($50), Vanessa Bedard; 2nd ($35), Andrew Aiken and 3rd ($25) Alicia Transon.Honourable mentions ($10 each) went to: Geneviève Matte, Jason Korman, Sarah Lamothe and Alexandre Champagne.The Scottish-born Cookson, who “has lived all over the world including nine years in the Bahamas and nineteen in the Argentine,” has creative fingers in a wide variety of works - water-colour and acrylic landscapes, portraits and still-life, along with wood engravings, batik and silk scarves.Last year, she showed all her Christmas cards “from 30 years” as part of the Christmas Show at Arts Sutton.As with last year, this year’s contest was done in collaboration with the Legion Memorial Library of Potton.Cookson was delighted with the response which brought in many imaginative drawings.“The contest will carry on next year.” time, but if larger amounts are required, there may be a problem.Tires: These are probably the most common things to give a motorist a headache while on holiday.While you can’t prevent running over a nail, you can make sure they are properly inflated and have enough tread to get you where you’re going and back.Remember to check the spare tire, just in case.Brakes: More important than getting there is being able to stop once you’ve arrived.Check front and rear brakes, or have a mechanic look them over if you're not sure what to look for.Good brakes aren’t only important in preventing an accident, they can also be a source of high cost when on vacation.Brakes become even more important if you will be towing a boat or trailer.Speaking of trailers, if the one you will be using has brakes, they should be checked as well.Wheel bearings and tire pressures should also be verified, and all lights should be in working order.Of course, even with a car that seems to be in good shape when you pull out of the yard things can still go wrong.Pack a few basic tools and fluids (for the car, not for you) to help deal with unexpected leaks.Jumper cables would also be a good idea, in case you’re faced with a dead battery.During your trip check oil and fluid levels whenever you stop to get gas, and give a quick visual check for leaks, worn belts and so on.It’s a lot easier to change a belt at a service station than almost anywhere else you’re likely to visit.If you do break down, try not to take it out on your spouse, kids or mother-in-law.With any luck it will become nothing more than another story to tell about your vacation.After all, how many family vacations include the chance to flag down a passing camel caravan?STUDIO TOUR July 17 -

Get 10 people together to buy a 10th of a page and proclaim Canada instead.It’ll be a better paper, and make a better country.Brian Timmins Knowlton Echo Art helped launch young acting careers Dear Editor, Knowlton certainly can be proud of the many talented young people in the area (Brome Coun- ty News, More Kids Who Rock, July 8,1999).It is appropriate that credit be given to Knowlton Academy and the excellent sports program under the guidance of the physical education teacher, John Parry, who helped develop and encouraged their natural talents to produce such class A athletes.The account of athletic achievements was balanced by the report of the theatrical talent which also has been developed in and around Knowlton.I was a little surprised, however, to find, that the author made no mention of Emma Stevens and her talent agency which helped launch young people’s careers, Echo Art Theatre and most importantly Echo Art Camp, where so many would-be thespians, including three of my grand-daughters first experienced the thrill of ‘treading the boards.’ The opportunity for so many young actors to appear in Jesus Christ Superstar and Joseph and his Technicolour Dream-coat, both produced by Echo Art, plus the fact that there is a theatre building where Annie was presented by Knowlton Players, is largely due to the energy and drive of Emma, who galvanized the community into action! And who knows, if that same energy is sustained, perhaps someday Knowlton will have its own permanent professional theatre building which will provide a venue where all local talent can be showcased.Must we now mourn loyalty as well as chivalry?Yours, F.G.Hudson Knowlton Editor’s note: The ‘More Kids Who Rock’ pages in Brome County News July 8 followed an 11-page tribute to Townships’ youngsters published July 6 in The Record.Since the focus was on youth and not their mentors, recognition of the many who so richly deserve credit for nurturing and encouraging young people, was left for another day.Low Tide This motorist took advantage of low water levels in Lake Champlain to drive out to his seadoo anchored off the beach in Missisquoi Bay at Venice-en-Quebec.U.S.Geological Survey measurements taken at nearby Rouses Point, NY, report the lake level as of July 7 was approximately 94.9 ft mean sea level, down from the long-term average of 96 ft m.s.l.but far from the 1908 historic low of 92.4 ft.Caroline Kehne/Record Correspondent jAmSÊS& Make food shopping worthwhile, buy at PLOUffE 20 Avenue des Pins, Bedford 450 Meigs N., Farnham 460 St-Patrice O/W et/and Galerie Orford, Magog I»»».We are distributors Summer Liquidation Sale Patio Furniture & Pools Hours Open: Monday to Friday 9-9 p.m.Saturday 9-5 p.m.Sunday 10-5 p.m.960 Principale, Granby PiscInE LE SUPERMARCHÉ DE LA PISCINE -6611 Brome County'NE.ws Wednesday, July 14, 1999 page 7 J***» * -

Vancouver Island trip this spring.With many details requiring attention in a typically busy season, we did not have the extra time required to plan wise-ly, prepare properly, avoid excess, duplication, etc.The easiest, quickest approach was to chuck anything that came to mind into the back of the van which seemed so spacious with the bench seats removed.We loaded coolers, boxes of food, backpacks, tent, camp stoves, fuel, skis and gear, kayak and boating accessories, cameras and paraphernalia.Finding a kitchen sink among the stuff wouldn’t have been a big surprise.Check-lists were left unchecked in the rush, and not having compared notes, each threw in a few things he thought the other might use in a two-to-three week excursion.When the pile got high enough, we figured we were ready.A few more goodbyes and it was off to the autoroute.About 30 hours later, a quick inventory check revealed I’d brought along two sleeping bags, three toothbrushes,.and only three pairs of underwear.Æ m Auberge West Brome popster ^sf,ya/ Summer at the Auberge Come and umvind in our air conditioned dining room or enjoy our outdoor terrace Tam and service not included imilO Friday night Rib plate Reservations: (450) 266-7552 1-888-902-7663 Luckily, this inbalance was righted by a visit to a discount department store at a roadside mall.A heavy rain descended as we crossed into Ontario.Once more they’re getting all the breaks, I thought, given the drought conditions back home.Maybe they would be generous and save a little for southern Quebec.By the time we got to the far side of Ottawa, where the expressway shrinks to the two-lane Route 17, we knew the trip was real.(Another young friend on a western trip years ago was stunned by the discovery that the Trans-Canada Highway wasn’t controlled-access, four-lane autoroute from coast to coast.I couldn’t bring myself to tell him that some sections in Newfoundland weren’t even paved back then.SEE SUDBURY, PAGE 12 ' : , : • per month, 48-month lease FREIGHT AND PDI INCLUDED 'v JK Or buy for as low as 516,900 4 ' nT -.Hill»111"“***^^ INCLUDES: y s •Air conditioning Jm •Power locks Ilf •Remote keyless entry •Body-colored door handles •And much more » ?• » « % © « € /< V"W per month, 48-month tease .‘ /'s./tJ' ft-Y,'.\ ?' < ,> .» ' 1111 Wm I i '¦ v: f Yfff Y" ;v:- x/vV-'-.>' fc/ W TUT- -

It was my turn to smile.Very good, I replied.The Packers are a football team, and they do have a bay in their name.I didn’t want to appear too picky, I began, but went on to explain that the team was the Green Bay Packers, and the bay was on Lake Michigan along the lower Wisconsin shore.We came upon Sudbury in the dark of night.which for many years was the recommended way to come upon Sudbury.With the arrival of the Single Great Smokestack Solution, however, the deadly pollutants are now scattered over a much larger area farther away, allowing the acidburned landscape around Big Nickel to slowly become green again.For yet another time in my experience, the Highway 17 bypass proved elusive and we ended up going through downtown, with a slight detour.However briefly, we got lost in Sud- bury on a Saturday night.Inevitably, Stompin’ Tom Connor’s song of the same name came to mind, as did a few of its almost-good lines: “The girls are playing bingo / And the men are getting stinko / And they’ll talk no more of Inco, On a Sudbury Saturday Night!” There are no doubt more than a few Sudbury residents, transplants from down east, who probably still feel a little lost on a Sudbury Saturday Night.Foster fund-raiser J & M Country Store has a new convenient set-up if The lowest gas prices around Super $4 27 $4 * Regular I 10 Diesel $1 Groceries, ammo & new gift ideas, dry flowers, ARRANGEMENTS, COLD BEER, GREAT BEVERAGE PRICES CHECKOUT OUR SPECIALS CREEMEE’S 3 diff.flavours, milk shakes & sundaes OPEN: Mon.- Sat.: 7 • 9 p.m.Sun.: 8 - 8 p.m.61 East Richford (802) 848-3364 Pat Bennett held the winning raffle ticket for a bike donated by Raleigh.Members of Loisirs de Foster were pleased with the turnout at their annual roast beef dinner held on Saturday, July 10, even though they sold 40 tickets less than the year before due to cool and rainy conditions.“Money raised is used for the park and ballpark here in Foster,” said Ken Giles, president of the committee.“Park equipment is very expensive and hard to buy,” said Secretary Gary Whitch-er.“It has to be child safe.This year we’re looking at how the kids use what we have, and discussing our needs for the future.” Foster village has approximately 50 children, most of them under 10 years of age who use the park daily.09 Kerosene $1 00 J m Tanya Tkach Brome County News Wednesday, July 14, 1999 page 13 A Berry Good Time In Stanbridge East Members of the Stanbridge East Anglican Church Women provided the antidote for a hot, muggy summer day with a Strawberry Social.ACW members served fresh locally grown strawberries with vanilla ice cream on homemade shortcake followed by coffee or tea to anyone willing to venture to the church hall on the unseasonably hot day.- Caroline Kehne, Record Correspondent.LES JARDINS FUNERAIRES Crematoriutn on the premises Columbariifpi Mausoleum \ Cemetery \ FUNERAL HOME 4 Vjp&tfiqn parlours P%atNathi ly havens Recefffion Children’s plaWoom Heated indoor parking available & outdoor parking sense of values espect of traditions 997.Des Colombes, Canton de Granby ry-1 888-730-6666 • (450) 777-1171 6 S IZONTAL: available in 5-22-25 cu.ft.VERUCAL: Also: available in 5-10*17-20 cu, ft.tartfftgat « 10-12-1 Startini (10 cu.ft.)
