Borders, adding several new features to this year’s show.“The festival is always great but this year we decided to make it even more so,” says architect Eden Muir, one of the organizers.“We’ve invited artists from across the U.S.border, hence the theme.The border is very important to this village, we are only four kilometres from the U.S.and traditionally there is much crossing back and forth.It seems very fitting to have Vermont and New York artists join the 100 plus Canadian artisans and artists, so we sent special invitations to art institutions there and received enthusiastic response.” jfitig ||g^: and, as always, Festiv’Art goes well beyond one theme or type, encompassing painting, printing, mixed media, photography and artisan crafts.All works are displayed on the lawns, walls and by-ways of the village, with each artist and artisan occupying a 3 by 3 metre space.Last year’s sales totalled over $200,000.This year’s total for the 130 participating artists and artisans is expected to go even higher.In conjunction with the Festiv’Art, there are two special shows on - an exhibit by well-known Quebec artist Raoul Duguay at the Frelighsburg Art Centre and a collection of contemporary Aboriginal art on display at the Town Hall.“Again this wonderful exhibit of native art speaks to crossing borders, of joining various things together as one," said Muir.The Duguay exhibit is also appropriate to the theme, as this esteemed artist has expressed himself in many media for more than four decades combining art, music, photography and the spoken and written word.His show at the Art Centre includes a number of Please see FesttvArt on page 5 This year ten scholarships, totally $3,300 will be awarded to works connected to the theme only.“I am looking forward how our artists handle the theme, I know there will be many different interpretations, many different styles and media.” All participants are jury selected, COURTESY OF EDEN MUIR Frelighsburg's annual Festiv’Art has become one of Quebec's premier art shows, drawing upwards of20,000 visitors every year.Painter creates visions a few steps beyond reality By Wendy Denman Brome County News Correspondent With emphasis on the flow of form, giving his emotions expression with passion and colour, artist Jean Villeneuve creates visions a few steps beyond reality, yet rooted in the world at his door.“I choose to set my workshop in the quaint little town of Dunham, where nature has already painted a wonderful landscape blessed with vineyards and orchards,” says Villeneuve.“I derive inspiration for shapes and colours from the surrounding hills and valleys.My passion is attuned to the bucolic rhythms and scents in this magnificent scenery.When I am outside, I am fascinated by the form of the trees, not so much the details.I like to simplify, to concentrate on the form of the thing.” An exposition of Villeneuve’s work in watercolour and acrylic opens Saturday, August 30, at the Brome County Historical Society and continues for a week.“I like strong colour and order some special watercolour pigments that you can only get at a place in New York.I like to experiment.1 developed a style I call Aqua lustre, using watercolour on clay board, then varnishing it with a mixture of resin and a hardener which gives the painting a really glossy look and it’s so resilient you don’t need to put it under glass.I started working on the clay board about four years ago as a new way to work with watercolour, which is my favourite medium.” About 50 works will be on display, 30 watercolours, 10 acrylics and 10 or so in Villeneuve’s Aqua lustre.“I paint in different sizes, the smallest is 9 by 12, the largest maybe 30 by 46 inches.Please see Reality page 9 COWANSVILLE Make things better 165 rue de Salabarry 450 263-8886 jflevesque @ cowansvilte.toyota.ca Direct 450-263-6855 ert.244 Enjoy the Brome Fair Supplement in this week's BCN __________ Happy labour Day weekend "Ve Johnny C's Neighbourhood Bar Starting Sept.7 • Every Sunday POOL LEAGUE starts at 1 p.m.Also BIG SCREEN -

Wednesday, August 27, 2008 page 3 Brome County N LETTERS Bel Canto a success For those who attended any part of Bel Canto, the festival was an overwhelming experience.Personally, watching and listening to Kent Nagano and Soprano Sumi Jo was indeed an experience of a lifetime, an experience that would not have been possible without the dedicated and and professional care of those who ran the festival, like Elise Barakett.her smile alone made the shuttle bus trip a pleasure.Brava.For those in the village who look to others to supply them a passing trade, this type of festival is about building a world class reputation for Knowlton, it’s not about selling trinkets that can be found in any airport or midway in Canada.This type of festival is a five to ten year project; it is similar to Spoletto, Tanglewood, or Newport.This is how Stratford began.This is how Knowlton might become known throughout the western world as a place to visit for a world class arts festival.Next year we will have 4 fine arts gallerys in Knowlton, they will probably develope a joint artistic endeavour to compliment Bel Canto.Hopefully The Sherbrooke Symphony will expand it’s performances here.( and get a lot more exposure in Sherbrooke media.) Next year is year two for Bel Canto.Rossini still won’t be in the kitchen at the Auberge, and ice cream sales probably won’t become big news, but Bel Canto will go a long long way to making Knowlton a name that’s internationally recognized.That’s what being famous is all about.Thanks again Elise, you all did a great job, and deserve rave reviews, even if you didn’t help someone sell trinket’s in the village.Brian Timmins Bravissimo! To the organizers of Bel Canto, and everyone who helped to make it a success, congratulations on a job well done.We went to see Gino Vannelli, on Saturday, in the big tent, and couldn’t have asked for anything better.Every little detail was taken care of.We were worried about transportation, as two people in our party, were in need of assistance, and they were right there with vans for them.The buses ran like clockwork, the seating was comfortable and spacious and there was an ample amount of “Johnny on the spots.” Last, but not least, we were not disappointed with the entertainment.Bravo!!!

focus and a renewed vigor to deliver the best in local storylines, sports and photography also comes a change in venue.The Sherbrooke Record has maintained an office in Knowlton at 88 Lakeside and we will continue there until 2009.I read the official office for rent layout and while it’s true the property will be available to someone in January 2009, it reads as if we are leaving town completely.I have heard that is the perception.Nothing could be further from the truth.We are firmly entrenched in the community and will be for the long run.It read that we would be closing our office after 25 years.That certainly is accurate although I was surprised that we had been there that long.The ad does not clarify however, that we are simply moving our office within the confines of the beautiful little hamlet of Knowlton.It will be a more community friendly site with easier access to locals and area business people.It will allow us to be more in the public’s eye, and our commitment to the Brome County News will be bigger than ever.We have several properties in mind and will choose one shortly.We will honor the completion of our agreement at our present site and then make the official move to a location that better serves the readers of the Record and of course the Brome County News.The BCN will change too.More in depth stories in and around the region.A reporter in the new office

produced by local people who care about the region’s destiny.Most are from the area they cover, were born here, have attended local schools here and one day will be buried here.1 myself am from the States, Orleans actually, but that’s not the moon.Just 25 minutes away.Let me state here for the record that everything The Sherbrooke Record does these days is with the long term in mind.Oh sure, you’ll hear the naysayers and the occasional spin on what is really happening, but the facts are that the Record is about to put more manpower, more time, and more effort into the Knowlton, and Lake Brome communities.A new fresh location is just part of the overall future.We will not sacrifice our efforts in other regions.With an expanded staff all members of the Eastern Townships will be heard and seen in the pages of The Record.The Record has proudly stood for 111 years, and will stand for another century or more, long after I’m dead and gone.And, we will continue to chronicle the daily history of our region five days a week, 254 issues a year, 52 weeks a year, 12 months a year and for the next 100 years.We«welcome you to be along for the ride. page 4 Wednesday, August 27, 2008 Brome County News George W.Courville’s legacy remembered “The promoter of the humanization of health care” By Nikki Johnston Knowlton George W.Courville, who passed away Monday, Aug.18 at Waterloo’s CHSLD Courville, was a pioneer in local health care.Courville, who was 83, leaves behind a legacy of his contributions to health care in the Eastern Townships and sur-rounding areas, his widow Evelyn Courville told the Brome County News.“He had a special gift of giving himself without reserve, to those he loved, be it his family, his nursing home, or his many charitable interests.” He was a well read and intellectual man, recalls his wife.After high school, he entered the army at the age of eighteen, but he also had keen interests in history, geography and philosophy.“He could, and would talk about nearly anything and everything, and discussing with him was always interesting and a challenge,” writes Mrs.Courville in a letter to the Brome Coun- ty News.Courville attended the University of Sherbrooke from 1961 to 1962, where he took a social worker auxiliary course.He later took a distance education program from 1965 to 1967 from George Washington University for nursing home administrators.In 1965, Courville built and operated the Waterloo Hospital for the chronically ill.Now the CHSLD Courville became the first long term care facility in Quebec to be accredited by the Canadian Council in 1970.Courville was also the honorary chairman of Waterloo’s blood donor clinic from 1967 to 1969.Under his presidency, some 400 pints of blood were donated - a figure that has not since been surpassed.Courville belonged to numerous health care organizations locally and internationally.He was a fellow of the American College of long-term care administrators, a board member of the CRSSS of the Montérégie region for four years and president of the Quebec Association of Private Nursing Homes from 1976 to 1977.But George Courville is best known for the establishment of the Courville Nursing Home, which relocated from South Stukely to Waterloo.The home, to which Courville added 28 private beds in 2001, is regarded as avant-garde in many respects today, said Mrs.Courville.“The nursing home was his extended family,” says his wife.“The happiness of his residents and his employees was always of primordial importance to him.” “He was very attentive to the quality of care and services and this before anyone else before anyone ever mentioned it.He was the promoter of the humanization of health care in nursing homes and hospitals.” It was through his tremendous leadership qualities that residents were well cared for and employees were devoted to their work, maintaining the motto of the Courville nursing home: “Loving Hearts and Caring Hands.” “He was able to create institutions that were different and humane,” says Mrs.Courville.Courville also incorporated the Courville Gerontology Foundation in 1976, which aimed to help the elderly who lived at home.Outside the health care domain, Courville expanded the Waterloo Public Library in 1983 to 1984 as its president, quadrupling its members.He also ftindraised for the BMP Hospital and for Townshipper’s Association.In 1988, Courville built the Bel Age Geriatric Centre in Laval with 68 beds.It is regarded as one of the finest nursing homes in Laval, says his wife.“George has been, during his life, a man of vision,” said Mrs.Courville.“This intuition, allowed him to better serve his residents and be at the forefront of changes in the nursing home field.” “George would have liked to thank his employees who worked in his nursing homes in South Stukely, Waterloo and Laval over the past 72 years,” adds Mrs.Courville.“George was a unique individual, loved for many reasons, and he will be missed, but not forgotten.His philosophy of ‘We Care’ will live on.” Courville leaves behind his wife, Eve lyn (Lacrocque) Courville, his two children George J.and Kenneth Courville, and his two grandchildren Karolyne and Wylliam Courville.Heritage Day a winner SSI! - Submitted by Adelaide Lanktree Farnham Patrimoine Committee member Farnham hosts 5th annual event For the fifth consecutive year the Patrimoine de Farnham hosted an extremely successful Heritage Day on August 17, 2008.Even the weather cooperated.The 150th Anniversary of the railway in Farnham highlighted the festivities.The railway played a very important part in the growth and economy of Farnham.As the hub of railway activity in the area many people found employment with the railway and this proved beneficial in boosting the development of the town.George Harold Mudie Park near the railway station attracted large crowds including CPR pensioners from near and far.These retirees including train dispatchers, operators, and members of train crews gathered to renew friendships and reminisce about their colleagues and rail experiences.The nearby Knights of Columbus Hall overflowed with photos, artifacts and other memorabilia.Enthusiastic CPR retirees visited with the public and explained the interesting exhibits.The Canadian Railway Museum at Saint-Constant provided many interesting displays and also provided a miniatuure train enjoyed by both young and old as they rode around the centre of town.A stationary inflated circus train amused the children as they crawled through the cars.Members of the Farnham Patrim-ione Committee who were available to visit with and lend assistance to visitors were easily recognizable in their Exporail caps.Theatre Lac Brome - Labour Day
