Sansoucy and Sandra Lecuyer enjoyed their experience in the Dominican.By Tanya Tkach Record Correspondent Knowlton Sandra Lecuyer and Véronique Sansoucy say they learned a great deal from living and working in the Dominican Republic.The Champlain College students traveled there on two separate occasions to take part in projects helping the poor.“1 learned more about myself in one year over there than being in school for 12 years,” said Granby resident Sansoucy.“Through living there, we realized how fortunate we are and how valuable our system of education is," added Bromont’s Lecuyer.“You put things in perspective, you see things that are so different that it makes you think about yourself and your own society.” The two had originally travelled to the Dominican Republic in May 1995 as part of the International Co-operation Project sponsored by the Canadian Inter-Development Association.Uncertain as to what lay ahead, they prepared themselves by learning Spanish for the six-week cultural exchange.“We taught English and French and helped with physical work such as painting and construction,” said Lecuyer.“You’re playing a part in other people’s lives, and you may be an inspiration to them.” During their first visit, they formed many lasting relationships with Dominicans.“They’re a very open, friendly and honest people who were curious about us and our culture and after six weeks we wanted to return,” said Lecuyer.Despite the consternation of their parents, the girls decided to return in September 1996, raising the money for their trip through jobs and fund-raisers.“I raised half the money by working and we raised the rest through benefits, such as a supper at Maison Blanche in Granby, a fund-raising party at Café Campus in Sherbrooke and a golf tournament,” said Lecuyer.When they arrived last September, the two lived with nuns before moving into their former project housing at Foundation Tropico, started by a Spanish architect aimed at helping Dominicans with educational and financial projects.Lecuyer said there are many projects volunteers may work on over there.“We taught poor children seven-to-14 years of age reading, writing and mathematical skills.Some 14-year-old children couldn’t read at all,” she said.Lecuyer and Sansoucy agreed that poverty and education are two of the main problems in the Dominican Republic.The fact that many families have 10 to 15 children magnifies the problem.“Often times, children from the project had to help their mothers and younger brothers and sisters so they would drop out of school.Since many children marry at 14 years of age, they do not finish their education,” said Lecuyer.She said in January, they had 120 students and by spring there were only 40 in their classes.But she said the remaining students were motivated and ambitious.During the year, the girls adjusted to a new daily diet of fried rice and beans, and sometimes chicken.The Dominicans fry all their food in oil, which caused Sansoucy to become ill at one point.The girls then had to buy and prepare their own food daily since they didn’t have the luxury of a refrigerator.On the weekends, they would chum around with their new friends by going to clubs and terraces and playing basketball.“Most of the time we would play music and dance in the street,” said Lecuyer.“The Dominicans love their meringue music and they’re good at dancing,” added Sansoucy.“You hear music in the street all the time.” They agreed volunteering is a good experience where one can learn to dedicate oneself to others.“You have to be motivated because it’s not about recognition nor about getting paid, it’s about much more than that,” said Lecuyer.“Just go out and do it!” Townshippers’ Foundation surpasses goal Staff Sherbrooke The Townshippers’ Research & Cultural Foundation’s annual campaign has hit a new pinnacle, raising $65,600 in its 1996-97 campaign, an increase of 22 per cent from last year.The non-profit organization, established in 1986 to promote the cultural aspects of the Townships, launched its annual campaign last October with an objective of $60,000.The campaign closed at the end of June, surpassing its goal with support from throughout the region.Funds raised by the foundation have benefited many areas of the Townships in the fields of arts and culture, youth and education, research, health and social services.Organizations and endeavors in the Brome County area which have received support this year include the “Spiralis” project to increase access to culture and arts in schools of Brome-Missisquoi, the “Avante” project to establish an English-speaking women’s centre in Monterégie, the Brome County Historical Society and the Potton Heritage Association.Other projects supported this year included the Youth Outreach project of Townshippers’ Association, the Eastern Townships Highland Pipe Band Summer School and CJMQ, a community radio station at Bishop’s University.The foundation’s fund-raising committee includes Royce Gale, Maurice Di Stéfano, Della Goodsell, Colin Jardine, Jacques Laberge, Ouida Moliner and Jim Ross.Ann Montgomery is the fpundation’sp resident and the campaign was held under the chairmanship of Dr.Alex Paterson.v! 243-0000 Res.Fax 242-2233 And now, Rebel Communications 242-2333 10% discount for Seniors This summer why stay in WAITING FOR A

X.* < * Y s * > By Catherine Canzani Record Correspondent Abercorn A slender, white-haired woman stops the 21 choir singers as she shouts, "Not quite.That was a little flat, let’s try it again.” She signals and the choir bursts magnificently into song."That’s exactly what I wanted," Renée Larouche says as she guides what looks like a regular choir, practicing like most choirs do before a concert.But upon closer inspection, the choir members seem to resemble one another.They even sound alike and their harmony is so pure and sweet that their voices blend into one.This is no ordinary choir - it is the Larouche family singers, led by Renée Larouche, the youngest of the 11 brothers and sisters who make up the core of the choir.They are joined by spouses and children.In all, the choir is comprised of three generations.Renée Larouche said music had always been a part of their lives.“My mother was a pianist and my father had a big, loud baritone voice.I even had an uncle, Honorius Bédard, who worked in an organ factory in St-Hyacinthe.He made organ pipes, which takes a good ear and precision, since he had to cut the hole into the pipe to get the desired note.” It must be in the genes because the Larouche family’s harmonies are haunt-ingly beautiful.They sound effortless.“It’s rare that harmonies come so easily for a choir, but for some reason, it just comes to us.I think we harmonize so well because we have always sung together.It was my mother’s dream that we sing together like the VonTrapp family singers,” Larouche said.“My dad thought that was ridiculous, but we did sing together as a family all the time.” The Larouches spent a lot of time singing in the choir at St-Simon Church in Abercorn.Their mother was the church’s organist.“It was something we enjoyed because it was our only time to socialize outside of school,” Larouche said.Without TV or radio to distract the Larouches while they were growing up, singing together became an enjoyable diversion.However, as they grew up, the Larouche children slowly drifted apart.Some settled down in Montreal, some in the Laurentians, some in Sherbrooke, and some in Sutton.That did not stop them from singing in choirs, but it did stop them from singing together.That changed about three years ago when the family was asked to sing at the funeral of a relative.As they sang together, Renée Larouche wondered, “Why are we wasting our talent?We sound so good together.” So she tried to reunite the family choir even though a previous attempt by one of her brother’s had failed.The seed had been planted in Renée’s heart and when Sutton’s 150th anniversary rolled around she felt it was the chance she had been waiting for.“I approached it carefully, Larouche explained.“I remembered only too well what had happened in the past.I approached one of my brothers with my idea, and although he was hesitant, he agreed.Next, I talked to one of my sisters, and she gave a definite ‘yes’.” To make things easier, Renée decided to let each of her siblings choose one song for their repertoire and she picked the rest.“We had seven rehearsals for that (anniversary) concert,” Larouche said.“The first two were hellish.I was so nervous, and I could feel the tension be- tween us.I knew that some of them were wondering if I could really do this.” “After the first two rehearsals, things got so much better,” said Renée, the baby of the family.“I felt the brakes loosening, and we were starting to have fun together.The music was slowly bringing us together.Somehow I knew it would be a success.” But their first concert was much more than a success - it was an absolute hit.There were 300 people in attendance for their first concert.The church has a capacity of 380 and it was full for their second concert.“I could hardly sing at some points,” Renée confessed.“I felt the tears as we sang a song that we had sung together growing up.It was as though we were Top Quality Organic Culinary Herbs, Mr Vegetables & Œibbits Sill 125 Centre Rd.Knowlton Flowers Beautiful selections of main season vegetables & flowers Open from 10 a.m.- 5 p.m.Wednesday thru Sunday o'Sr-Sr* UTOL/r> OciN Certified organic since 1993 #11111003-90 doing this concert for our mother.It had always been her dream.” The Larouches are currently practicing together again.They have been asked to perform as part of the entertainment for the Tour des arts.After a recent practice that lasted about eight hours, Renée Larouche said, “I ask them for something nice, and they give me more than I ever expected.The beauty that I ask from them is multiplied by all their voices.I feel a sense of accomplishment, and I feel peaceful.We’re so in tune.” • • • The Larouche family will be performing at the St-Simon Church in Abercorn, on Saturday, July 26 at 8 p.m.and Sunday, July 27 at 3 p.m.Admission is $ 5 for adults and $2 for children.Fri.July 13th: On tour to promote his new CP release “Angels on a Cliff”, Robert Atyeo, Country, Folk, Blues Sat.July 19th: “Mistress” Old and new Rock & Roll LobBalt Tournament All weekend long 25 Bolton Pass Rd.* 243-0163 ^ What happens if there’s an accidenfin USA?^ (514) 263-2787 TfllM€R ft ASSURANCES - INSURANCE PAG K 4 WEDNESDAY, JULY 16, 1997 Brome County N Letters to the editor Life isn't so great for Mill Pond ducks Letter to editor, Summer is back and with the season comes the return of the ducks to Mill Pond.Aren’t they a lovely attraction to our quaint country village?One of the pleasures of country life is being able to live in harmony with nature - is it?Too bad people can be so cruel and uncaring.Too bad the people who put the ducks in the pond don’t bother to supply grain through the week, but that’s OK the tourists will bloat them full of bread on the weekends.Last week I read in the paper how the first batch of older ducks had moved on to greener pastures but they were replaced.You forgot to mention that your version of "greener pastures" meant a rough ride over the falls and down river, hopefully to end up in the lake.You also forget to mention that two batches of ducks have followed this treacherous route.But hey, let’s not get into details; we don’t want people to know the truth, do we?We better not mention the poor little duck that didn’t survive the route and washed up on the bank outside my bedroom window.He’s a beautiful white duck but he looks a little grotesque dead.His head is at a funny angle - must be from the broken neck.His little orange webbed feet lie all twisted in the grass.I guess it’s up to me to clean him up and dispose of the body.At my age I have a lot of questions and not many answers.I wonder why the people responsible for putting the ducks in didn’t rescue BRIAN SHAW \ mi Brian Shaw, 13, found this young duck in his backyard.He thinks adults should be more caring and thoughtful of animals.the ones that went over the falls instead of replacing them.Why was one poor duck left stranded in the river last year till Dec.13 with just a two-foot diameter space of open water left to swim in?What is the beauty of seeing five ducks penned up in Mill Pond with their wings clipped and blood smeared all over from their wounds.And I know there is no joy in looking out my window and seeing one of God’s creatures lying broken and twisted on the bank.I’m just a kid.You grown ups are supposed to be my mentors and guide me in what’s right and wrong.Well, I’m sorry, but I can’t accept your values.I see nothing right in the treat- B OWL’S HEAD presents “A GREAT GOLFING EXPERIENCE” Best New Courses Survey Golf Digest SKI -
