Donors and Volunteers Past and Present — at the beginning of May to a large gathering and we received many congratulations on our efforts.” The exhibit documents more than 400 community organizations that have donated time and money to the hospital.The various groups are pinpointed on a map of Canada.“Our donors come from all over the country.Even from the U.S.The support for our hospital comes from far and wide.Many many people are represented by the 400 organizations,” continued Darche.“To date we have more than 22,000 individual donors, who are honoured on our donor tree in the lobby.” Surrounding the exhibit in glass cases are images and items that represent fundraising and volunteering over the years such as handmade items made by local women for patients in the hospital and photos of groups like the local Lions Club and the hospital’s Ladies Auxiliary.There’s a heart-shaped poster composed of hundreds of photos of volunteers at work.“To make it seem very real we have put faces to those who give and those who benefit by blowing up photos life-size of a Please see Exhibit on Page 4 This could be your "very own space” COWANSVILLE ® fOVOTA Make things better 165 rue de Salaberry 450 263-8868 jJlevesque @ cowansville.toyota ca Direct 450-263-8655 ext 244 Jean-François Lévesque Assistant Sales Manager RONA LÉVESQUE Roofing/Windows/Garden Accessories ronaknowlton@jolevesque.ca 601 ch.Knowlton 450-243-1444 Call Lynda 450-242-6892 O roqow Urt Chinese Buffet Mon.-Fri.: 11-2 -

Wednesday, May 28, 2008 page 3 Brome County News Art & changing views Sutton design shop, without any design By Alanna Fahey Brome County News correspondent Constantin, better known around the Town of Sutton as George, has opened another art gallery.Over the past 20 years or so, Constantin has been instrumental in bringing new and fresh ideas to the vibrant art scene in Sutton.His latest gallery will feature the works of Alain Vaillancourt and himself.“It is a design shop, without any design.” said Constantin, speaking from his home.“I just finished with another project of mine, a group of artists, new and seasoned, and it is something I will do another time, yet now, for this summer I wanted to focus on myself and just one other artist.1 found a little spot on Depot Street, just behind Le Cafetier on Principal.” Sutton’s Principal Street over the past year has undergone a much-needed face lift.Gone are the power poles, the wires, the old broken sidewalks and the dreaded low spots on the street that, after any amount of rain, if one aimed, even with abandon, you could invariably soak any unsuspecting pedestrian.The change has left the street with an open new spaciousness that lends itself to the avante-garde feel of this upscale little ski town.The charm that the local citizens have embued upon Sutton, is its calling card.Many of the families in the area are descendents of the original settlers, and subsequent generations have, with some struggle at townhall, en-sured that the integrity of their village and the surrounding area be moulded to suit their vision of town.Art has always been one of the focal points in Sutton.Home to several successful galleries, an annual sidewalk arts and crafts show, and Arts Sutton.When discussing the idea of art with Constantin he remarked, “What is art anyway?I don’t know.I just know that when I get up, I paint, then I go to work as a house painter and when I relax in the evening, I paint.” The medium of choice for Constantin is acrylic on polystyrene, using spray cans.“I will paint on anything, yet this seems to be what I keep coming back to and people like it.” When asked if the street repairs hurt his business, Constantin replied, “Of course not.I am selling art, not hot-dogs, so people came, regardless of the condition of the street.I find that people will walk over anything to view art, to see if something catches their eye.” Vaillancourt, the other featured artist in the new gallery, is a sculptor, who uses papier mâché to create ffeeflowing pieces.His work appears to be without a sense of boundary as the color attaches inself to the many molecules of paper fibre and perhaps ignites in the viewer some celluar memory of long ago forests in medieval times.Working with Constantin for the past two years, the two have shared many exhibition walls, and many ideas about creation.“Alain is a good guy, with power behind his creativity.He works with a passion that perhaps suits mine.All I know is that I breath to do art, not, I do art to breath.” said Constantin.Studio Art Constantin is located at 4 Depot Street, in Sutton.Hours are Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.For more information, call 450-538-3758.Special of the Month !

Buzzell and friends named their show Saturday Night Cruise-In and every June take over the Wal-Mart parking lot in Cowansville for an evening of cars, cars cars.“We get antiques, hot rods, classics, muscle cars, speciality cars and lots of modified.There’s no admission to spectators, no registration fee for the cars.It’s all free.We do register the cars, so we can keep in contact with the drivers, but that’s all.We keep adding stuff- games with prizes for the spectators, face painting and activities for the kids, canteens.” Cars buffs form a tight community and news of the show is mainly word of mouth, with owners often driving two hours or more from all over the Townships, Montreal, Vermont and north of the St.Lawrence.“Gear heads love to talk cars and that’s what the show is all about — showing off, exchanging information.I get a kick out of some of the stories, how one guy found a part at a show he’d been looking or for two years.It’s like a community getting together.” Putting on a show this size takes a lot of work, and Buzzell and his partners dedicate at least three months of the year organizing and putting it all together.During the show 40 volunteers are needed to keep running smoothly.Since the parking lot completely full with the show, spectators must park in the adjacent lots of some other major retailers.“Security is very important for us.We’ve got people walking across the highway, lots and lots of spectators coming and going.We work closely with the town and the SQ, but we always have our own people in the parking lots, along the highways keeping things in order.Our volunteers are great; the same ones have been with us year after year.“And there needs to be a certain amount of control around the cars.Huge amounts of work and love go into restoring a car.We don’t want anyone to leave with a scratch and a bad feeling about the show.We start off with a tailgate party in the afternoon before the store closes at five for all of us working, have some food, have some talk and get things organized.Cars start arriving early, so we need to be there early too.” Though the show is free, Saturday Cruise-In is also a fundraiser for the BMP Hospital Foundation.“We ask everyone who comes for a voluntary donation to the hospital.Last year we raised Si,500, Wal-Mart donated another $1,000, so we gave the BMP Foundation $2,500.It’s important for us to give to the community as well as just having fun.” The car expo takes place Saturday, June 7 horn 5:30 to 10:30 p.m.at 1770 rue du Sud, in Cowansville.Oscar Belaiche HBA, FICB, CFA Vice President & Portfolio Manager investment Advisors Presents Mr.Oscar Belaiche GENERATING EQUITY INCOME Economic Forecast and Investment Opportunities Thursday, June 12, 7:30 at Vignoble L’Orpailleur 1086 Rte.202, Dunham p.m Oscar Belaiche is head of Dynamic’s award-winning equity income team, managing over $4 billion in three pools of assets which include income trusts, dividend paying securities and global real estate securities.Oscar is a veteran of the real estate and investment industries.Prior to joining Dynamic he spent seven years at The Prudential Insurance Company of America, where he rose to the position of Vice President of Property Investments.In this role, he was responsible for their Canadian investment portfolio of 43 commercial properties totaling 5.6 million square feet.SINCE 1957 *4 JU Dynamic Funds Invest with Advice.RESERVATION call 450 776-1 409 CIBC Wood Gundy is a division of CIBC World Markets Inc., a subsidiary of CIBC and Member CIPF. page 6 Wednesday, May 28, 2008 Brome Cpmw^/News Inspector Clouseau on a bike?Oh yeah.Strange doings on the old train bed He had the reputation of being a bit of a wheeler-dealer and horse-trader, but was regarded by locals as a basically decent fellow, with an element of mischief thrown in for good measure.Mainly he kept busy operating a garage out Compton County way, a facility that offered both mechanical service and body repairs.A customer stopped by to get an estimate on some fender and door work after side-swiping a large, unforgiving oak tree.Following a few moments of serious contemplation and ciphering, the garage man concluded with something like, “Well, I could give you an es- timate, but it’ll cost you a lot more in the end, so just leave it and we’ll fix it."
