The Homestead Project will expand the Museum’s displays into two authentically restored homes in the village, provide activities for visitors, and provide facilities for researching local history, architecture and genealogy.The Homestead will be in the heart of the historic village of Eaton Corner and will highlight the rich heritage of American and British settlement beginning in the late 1700s.It will recreate the way of life there during the 1800s when Eaton Corner was a busy stage coach stop at the crossroads of trade and social life between Quebec city, Montreal and New England.Boychuck also commented that the Homestead Committee of the Museum Society is looking for a few more people who would like to get involved in planning for the Project.“We could use two or three good people to join us in making the Homestead a reality.There’s a lot to do.Contact us if you are interested.” Boychuck can be reached at mus.eatoncorner@gmail.com, or through the Museum by calling 819-875-5256.LOTO QlJtBLC Draw results 2008-08-13 01 16 28 29 39 45 mimiaa n j4 33 36 38 43 Winners 0 7 137 7,628 146,801 110,698 Total sales Next grand prize (approx ) 6/6 5/6+B 5/6 4/6 3/6 2/6+B Prizes $10,135,548.00 $55,759.60 $2,353.50 $80.10 $10.00 $5.00 $18,743,892 $17,000,000 6/6 5/6+b 5/6 4/6 3/6 2/6+B Total sales Winners 0 0 14 606 12,307 8,618 TONIGHT'S JACKPOT $12,000,000 (APPROX.)

RFrhwn Friday, August 15, 2008 page*21 Hatley 4-H Wins the Gold By Karyn Kirby On July 17 through 20, the Hatley 4-H club hosted the 33rd annual Provincial Rally.This event consisted of over 130 participants from all over the province of Quebec and from Renfrew, Ontario.The event is the largest of all Quebec 4-H events.The weekend schedule allows participants to explore new things and do as the 4-H motto states, learn to do by doing.This year’s theme was: Olympics.The event began on Thursday afternoon, as the participants arrived with their projects (life skills, public speaking, cows, sheep, horses, goats, rabbits and new this year chickens).Thursday evening the event became official with the opening ceremonies, where the individual clubs entered into the arena with signs and matching club wear.Following the opening ceremonies, during which the Provincial Coordinator of Quebec 4-H did a speech and the Olympic Oath was said the clubs entered a participant into the costume class.The class consisted of the participant dressing up their project to go with the theme.Examples of entries in the costume class are: a cow figure skater, a cow hockey player, a horse and chariot, a cow badminton player, etc.This class, allowed the participants to start off the weekend with a bit of fun.Friday morning started bright and early, as the Public Speaking competition started at 9 a.m.This years topics were: Leadership in Agriculture: What Does it Take?, Food, Fuels & More: Exploring the Future of Agriculture, Organics: A Trend or a Tremendous Opportunity?, Going Green: Environmental Efforts in Agriculture, Agriculture Around the World: Where Does Canada Stand?.There were 7 participants, 5 of the 7 from the Hatley 4-H club: Emily Young, Clara MacKinnon, Darby Drew, Shelby Drew, and Karolyn Kirby.The competitors all did an excellent job expressing their views on the topics of going green and leadership in agriculture.Subsequently, the intense judging competition started at 12:30.The participants were broken up into 10 groups of approximately 14, which judged: dairy cows, brought by Lookout Farms, beef heifers, brought by Greyledge Simmen-tals, quilts made by Marjorie Smith, maple syrup donated by Tricia Smith and Madeline Jardine, chickens, Hatley 4-H Club at Rally brought by Bruce Kirby, silage, brought by numerous generous farmers, seed I.D., prepared by Gail Bowen, and mystery, created by the Quebec 4-H office.This activity went smoothly because of the extra volunteers which were on sight from Purina and local 4-H clubs.Friday night had two big events: the clipping competition and farmers Olympics.The clipping competition allowed each 4-H club to clip and fit dairy, beef or sheep.The Hatley club clipped both a sheep and a beef heifer.The club won, with the highest points; 95.After that, all the participants were able to participate in the farmers Olympics activity.Julia MacKinnon, Vice-President of the Hatley 4-H club was the organizer of the event.The activity split the participants up into 10 different groups from all different clubs.There were stations, all were agriculturally based.Throughout this fun activity, many participants learned that: horses are very strong animals, being able to pull a wagon full of people, they are not able to jump over a round bale alone, throwing a bale of straw at a wall is quite difficult when you are dizzy, jumping in a silage bag is not as easy as it looks, a grease poll curves in the middle and the end is all up hill, in the old days people had very strong fore arms, milking cows by hand morning and night, nails are hard to hit when the pressure is on, wheel barrows are hard to steer when you are blind folded and dressed up, water balloons are hard to catch, and that yelling right left is key to not falling.The Hatley members had a wet time during the Olympics, having at least 3 members thrown into the dirty water below the grease poll.This activity is done just for fun, to allow participants to blow off some steam after a long day of judging.The one thing most participants learn after this activity is how to work as a team, as most stations took some strategy and a lot of togetherness.Saturday was the day most participants enjoy the most, as they are able to “strut their stuff”.Participants showed their projects all day on Saturday.The morning began with chicken conformation and showmanship, which the Hatley club had 2 participants: Trevor McComb and Hannah Wilson.Both Trevor and Hannah did a great job showing their chickens.Next it was the sheep participants to have the ring time.The Hatley club had 4 of the 6 participants: Darby Drew, Colby Drew, Hannah Wilson, and Karolyn Kirby.The rabbits were next in the ring.This year was a record year for number of participants; a whopping 14 rabbits were shown.The Hatley club entered 5 participants: Julia MacKinnon, Rosemary MacKinnon, Harley Telgen, Carly Standish-Wallis, and Karolyn Kirby.The horses were next up; the Hatley club had two participants in the competition: Martha and Elizabeth MacKinnon.At 9:30 a.m.the cattle (beef and dairy) started to show.The Hatley club had 13 beef participants: Simmental: Emily Grey, Tonnie Sutherland, and Riley Morse, Shorthorn: Jessica Cox, Reiley Sutherland, Jordan Sutherland, Kolbie Sutherland, Harley Telgen, and Brittany Taillon, Angus: Cole Schoolcraft, Jordan Schoolcraft, Blonde: Shelby Drew, and Hereford: Casey Conner.The club also had 17 dairy participants: Holstein: Marc Richard, Tyler McComb, Monica Parnell, Emilie Roy, Tara McKinven, Nicolas Olivier, Aryshire: Wyatt Johnston, Jessica-Goodsell, Brianna Grapes, Jersey: Julia MacKinnon, Rosemary MacKinnon, Perry MacKinnon, Karyn Kirby, Clara MacKinnon, Leslie MacKinnon, Alana McKinven, and Brooke McKinven.The goat show commenced at 2 p.m.of which the Hatley club had 3 participants: Emily, Sam and Kirby Young.The Hatley 4-H club members take much pride in their animals and their show technique.The members all had smiles on their faces, from how they placed in both conformation and showmanship classes.The overall showmanship class start ed around 6 p.m.The Hatley club made up the majority of the participants (6 of the 11), specifically: Rosemary MacKinnon, Karolyn Kirby, Elizabeth MacKinnon, Brooke McKinven, Emily Grey, and Sam Young.At the Banquet, the club won: Grand Champion rabbit, beef, and horse show-person.The club also won: Grand Champion rabbit, dairy, horse, and goat.Karolyn Kirby won the leadership award, and Emily Grey won the overall show person award.The public speakers did very well, Clara MacKinnon won reserve overall speaker.The club also had numerous members in the aggregate and judging category.The club was also proud of their accomplishments, in the barn decorating competition, moving up from last place, as in past years.The club was very pleased to have won the overall club award.This award, despite points only being drawn from the top 5 members of the club, was really won by all the club members who pulled their weight over the weekend and strove to do their best.Hosting Rally gave the club an extra push for the upcoming years, seeing how 3 members are in the proven category, 2 are in the senior category, and the rest are quite young.1 believe the biggest award of the weekend was seeing the club work together as a true Olympic team.Rally is all about team work.The Hatley club really flourished in this domain during the weekend.Having 42 participants and 46 animals present at the event, the participants had to be responsible to avoid chaos.Emily Young with her goat 91111 Rabbit Showmanship Class grlgi XT* Left to right: Carly Morin, Karolyn Kirby, Tiffany Nelson, Rosemary MacKinnon and Carly Standish. page 22 Friday, August 1 5, 2008 ;

Is the one word which comes to mind when I think about my experience as President of the Rally Host Club.First of all, I would personally like to thank all of my gracious sponsors, without their contribution an event like the Provincial Rally would simply not take place.Secondly, I would like to say thank you to my Rally committee members: Cindy Bowen, Gail Drew, Angus MacKinnon, Brenda Marrotte, Karyn Kirby, Julia MacKinnon, and Marc Richard.Those seven people really worked hard to make the event a success.Each member of the committee had specific tasks; relieving me of a lot of stress each day of the event.Each committee member had their own committee which consisted of families within the club.Therefore, hosting Rally was a club activity, each member and parent gave their time graciously and without them the event would not have run smoothly.Thirdly, I would like to thank all of my volunteers from other clubs who helped judging day, and show day.Fourthly, I would like to thank the participants and their parents for allowing them to attend the event.Without participants the event would not be an event.Fifthly, I would like to thank Nathalie for doing such a good job putting the book all together, to Jenn for publicizing the event, and for Jenna for doing a great job organizing people on show day and being the M.C.at the banquet.Last but definitely not least, thanks Loreli for being so calm and collected when things got a little mixed up, and for keeping us all on track.It was with great pleasure that the Hatley 4-H club was able to host the 33rd annual edition of the Provincial Rally.All in all, the weekend was a great success! The food was great, the decorations were awesome, the schedule was followed as close as possible, the grounds were left clean, the judging day went smoothly, the public speaking competition had a large number of participants and a large crowd of listeners, and the Farmers Olympics were great.On a personal note This years Rally was very important to me; a very special member of the community and past member and leader of 4-H recently passed away: Mr.Douglas Johnston.Mr.Johnston was and will always be in my heart as the man you allowed me to explore the 4-H program; he showed me a lot about chickens and shared his adoration of the program with all members of the community.Therefore, this Rally was more then simply an event it was a way for me to show Mr.Johnston that he has done good in the community and that his adoration for 4-H and animals lives on in the Hatley 4-H club.New Members are always welcome In addition, the Hatley club is always open to welcoming new members.The club is very active and will be hosting the next monthly meeting on Friday September the 12th, at 7:30 p.m.at the United Church in Hatley.If anyone would like further information: feel free to contact the club president Karolyn Kirby at 819-349-4980.I’m concerned about my son and what’s on his mind.Dear Annie: I’m a proud father of two handsome boys, ages 14 and 11.Their mother and I are divorced.I recently found out through DNA testing that my 14-year-old is not my biological son.This has devastated my family.When I called my ex-wife about it, she responded, “Whatever,” and hung up the phone.I haven’t spoken to her since, so I got no apology or anything.Now I hear she wants to introduce my son to his biological father.Fourteen years is a long time and I can’t let go.It hurts.I’m concerned about my son and what’s on his mind.What can I do?— Disenfranchised Dad Dear Dad: You don’t have to “let go.” You raised this boy, and he is still your son, emotionally and possibly legally as well.You should maintain a relationship no matter what your ex-wife does.If you have visitation rights (and you should), you will have an opportunity to discuss his feelings.However, we urge you not to make the situation more stressful.It will not hurt your son to have another person in his life who cares about him.Be supportive of any meeting with his biological father, while reassuring him that it does not lessen how much you love him.And if his biological father does not want a relationship, your son will need you more than ever.Dear Annie: What is the difference between “grandparenting” and “baby-sitting”?I say grandparenting is spending time with your grandchildren because you want to.Baby-sitting is doing it because you’ve been asked to.My in-laws live less than five miles away.We have two very well-behaved children, yet the only time my in-laws see them is on holidays and maybe a birthday party or soccer game.They’ve taken each of our children to see one stage show, but as far as taking them to the park, having them over for ice cream or even setting aside an hour a week to read to them, forget it.My in-laws are just “too busy.” Because they are almost completely re- moved from my kids’ lives, I ask them to baby-sit once or twice a month.I feel I have to initiate contact by “needing” their assistance.Yes, I’ve spoken to my mother-in-law about it, but nothing has changed.I’d be interested to get some feedback.— Midwest Mom Dear Mom: Not all grandparents know how to interact with young children and many prefer not to.They’ve already raised their kids, thank you, and now they’d like to pursue their own interests.It doesn’t mean they don’t love the grandchildren, and it’s very possible they will relate better when the kids are older.If your in-laws are willing to baby-sit on occasion, by all means, continue to ask them.Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Worried Sick in the Midwest,” who was concerned about her college-age daughter’s increasing girth.I have read every bit of advice on the subject, I think, but no one has ever mentioned the idea of EATING SLOWLY.Ever since I was forced to eat slowly due to a gagging problem, I have found it a good habit.Meals become more enjoyable, food gets chewed more thoroughly, which is recommended, and you can relax and enjoy what you’re eating.And the amount of food you consume before feeling satisfied is substantially less.Until this “aha” moment, I’d constantly been thinking about calories, quantity and the whole disgusting food obsession.Now I am relaxed about the subject since I know I’m not about to overeat — huge amounts are just not appealing anymore.I strongly recommend a slowing down of the eating process for one’s overall health and enjoyment of life in general.— Ravenna, Neb.Dear Ravenna: Most dieticians will tell you that eating more slowly gives the brain time to register that you are full, and consequently, you eat less.Thanks for mentioning this simple and effective diet aid.Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.Annie’s Mailbox Your Birthday Friday, Aug.15,2008 When you get a bright idea in the year ahead, put it to the test because your own resourcefulness and imagination will find ingenious ways to further your ambitions and add to your holdings.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — One of the biggest reasons your financial dealings will work out to yours and eveiyone else’s satisfaction?Because you realistically ask for no more or no less than that to which you’re entitled.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) — Advancing your self-interests looks to be encouraging at this time and, as a result, once you set your sights on a target, you’ll not look to the left or to the right until you’ve achieved your goal.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — To your credit, your word is your bond and although something you had promised may turn out to be a bit tougher than you had realized, you’ll stand by the commitment.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) - Make it a point to get in touch with an old friend who has been in your thoughts lately.It will mean more to you than you realize, because your pal may have some important news.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) - Because you are quite ambitious, your thinking will be stimulated and you’ll be more clever and persistent in getting what you go after.This will be true even if obstacles impede your path.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) - You’ll take great pride in how effectively and efficiently you handle complicated developments.Not surprisingly, logical thinking based on past experiences is the reason.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) — Viewing situations realistically, and not expecting anything to which you aren’t entitled, will make you exceptionally successful at whatever you attempt to do.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — Involvements with mature thinkers will produce rewarding results.Their ability to make adjustments to suit the circumstances of the moment will turn a nonproductive arrangement into a worthwhile one.AUKS (March 21-April 19) — Your greatest pride and satisfaction is apt to come from your ability to take on and successful- ly complete several projects that others have been unable to handle.You’ll be known as the wonder person.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Some type of future affair or event can benefit from a little reorganization before you launch it.No one will be better equipped to handle this assignment than you are.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Although you are working hard on a matter that you are anxious to finalize, you must continue to stay tlie course.Regardless of what others say, don’t deviate from the selected route.CANCER (June 21-July 22)—Companions appreciate your views and opinions because they know you will tell the truth regardless of how painful the facts may be.Continue to tell it like it is. : - rut -I I .RECORD Friday, August 15, 2008 page 23 CROSSWORDS ACROSS 1 Image digitizers 9 Attacked 14 Baby doll 15
