Correspondent True to its tradition of presenting plays with panache, Heroes’ Players is putting the final touches on the delightfully enthralling Charlotte’s Web, which will be presented to the region’s school children and the public this week.“We always do a different play — we have certain stage requirements and cast needs and when deciding this year we felt that this classic would do well,” said Grade 6 teacher Daniel Lapointe, who yearly puts on a director’s hat and introduces the schools’ senior students to the intricacies and rewards of live theatre.“We hold auditions.I tell those who audition that they are guaranteed a part no matter how small.This year all but two of the secondary one students are involved and a number of Grade 6 students.” The spring plays at Heroes’ Memorial School in Cowansville are anticipated events in the community, attracting a faithful following in addition to current parents and students.The tradition was started many years ago by teacher Tony Woodall and continued after his retirement by Lapointe.“Tony taught me a great deal.We worked together.When he retired l took it over and have been doing the plays for a decade now,” Lapointe said.“It is a lot of work, but seeing the kids so involved with theatre is well worth it.” Over the years the run has been expanding from one night to two and from an afternoon presentation for students to a whole week of performances.“This year we are expecting more schools to come and watch the play than ever before.Schools have booked from Granby, Bedford and as far way as Lennoxville and North Hatley.Really, we have a good number of schools from the Eastern region of the school district coming,” he said.“I think it has a lot to do with the play.Charlotte’s Web is required reading in elementary school and that’s probably one of the reasons for the interest.” See Play, page 3 Helicopter School Ml lié £j$jj Mm MS* üüüi DAVID ANDERSON/SPECIAL Students from Waterloo Elementary school excitedly looked out their classroom windows recently as a helicopter landed in the playground as part of their level 5/6 study on aviation.The class, which is taught by Dale Mackenzie, has been learning about different aspects of flight — the airplane, helicopters and their parts — throughout the year.‘This is fantastic, we are lucky to have this opportunity come right to us,” said Mackenzie.The special drop in visit by pilot Warner Kyling was arranged by parent Gail Coulombe who had her son and daughter picked up at home and flown to the school playground.Children asked many questions about the helicopter.Mackenzie said it took permission from the school board and the town of Waterloo.Local SQ officers were on hand to make sure that everything was safe.Waterloo Honours

group debuts in Knowlton By Philip A.Godin Record Correspondent Knowlton The musical debut of I Grupetti, Brome-Mis-sisquoi’s latest foray into the classical world, will take place at Knowlton United Church on Friday, May 14.This Chamber orchestra, comprised of recognized local musicians and their students, has taken on the mandate of complementing the comprehensive live musical presentations given by the Cordes à vent youth orchestra since 1985.Iron Hill violinist David McAdam is the group’s leader.“Our intent in forming this ensemble is twofold.First to provide chamber music to local audiences as produced by the area’s talented musicians and second, to offer the group’s younger musicians a public venue for them to perfect their talents,” said McAdam.But even the most cursory glance at the orchestra’s composition reveals that the group has more clout than merely musical talent in the rough.in fact, some of the professionals who make up the backbone of the fledgling group are well-recognized string musicians in their own right.Acknowledged names like Cordes à vent conductor and violinist Françoise Turcotte, classical guitarist Serge Lavertu and of course McAdam ensure the orchestra’s program is solid, balanced and structured.Students, some of whom have been bowing diligently for several years, include Sutton proteges Ruby Clarke and Tanya Schweitzer, West Brome’s Julian Gammon, Knowlton’s Alexander Bailey-Godin, and Jonathan Millette from Granby.Of note are the three members of Brigham’s gifted Larivière family, violinists Mathias and William with Andrea joining guest pianist Beavan Flanagan invited for this vernissage concert.McAdam, the long-time music teacher, makes no bones about touting the abilities of his students.“There are so many talented musicians in the area and 1 have had the pleasure of working with several of them,” he said.“Mathias Larivière’s musical capabilities are exceptional, while those of Alexander Bailey-Godin as showing great promise.” The evening’s program includes Fritz Kreisler’s Minuet and the theme from Schindler’s list by John Williams, both popular and moving works.Admittedly, McAdam’s hidden agenda is to encourage at least local appreciation for what he terms the “.centuries old European tradition of hausmusik.”, the German term for chamber music.“Musicians consider it their greatest joy to perform in small venues,” he said of the art that he hopes will someday be popular with a larger audience.The I Grupetti concert starts at 7:30 p.m.on Friday May 14 at the Knowlton United Church on Knowlton Road.Admission to the show is free with donations GOING TO SUPPORT THE PURCHASE OF SHEET MUSIC, DECIDEDLY THE GROUP’S MOST CHALLENGING EXPENSE.Optimists phoning for BMP Staff Members of Optimists

One time, to their embarrassment, the boys left the car on ice directly on top of a sand bar.It never did sink.Perhaps the money collect- ed was used to winch the thing disconsolately back to shore.Back home at Brome Lake, we had a spirited group years ago that would place bets on when the ice would ‘go out’.(With due respect to the midbranch Yamaska River, if there’s no major exit the ice doesn’t go far, it just sort of fades away.) And since it’s never all gone in one day, a senior local volunteer fireman would declare when the lake was functionally ice free.The timing doesn’t seem to attract much interest anymore; perhaps life is too busy now, with too many distractions.But for those who live on a lake’s windward side, the event still demands attention.Lakes, like outdoor rinks, thaw first around the edges.Meltwater from the surrounding snow mass raises the lake level as the open areas increase.See Lakes, Page 7 Country music benefit soirée in Knowlton C AUBERGE ilhams Hôtellerie de charme LAC BROME • QUÉBEC • CANADA MUSSELS & FRIES all you can eat each Thursday evening $14.95 MOTHER'S DAY Musical Brunch Sunday, May 9th $25.70* half price for children 6-12* plus taxes and service 1st service at 10h30 - 2nd service at 13h00 purchase of tickets in advance required Table d'hôte every evening Chef: David Chantecaille Gift certificates available www.aubergequilliams.com Reservation please: 450-243-0404 572 Lakeside, Ville Lac Brome, Exit 90, Rte.243, at 5 km from the exit By Philip A.Godin Record Correspondent ountry and Western music fans are in for a treat on Saturday, May 1 as three of the area’s most popular groups will grace the stage for a benefit concert for the Knowlton United Church.The recognized musical talents of Sawyerville’s Last Chance, Waterloo’s Moon Shine, Stanbridge East’s Ron Haynes and friends and Vermont’s Ron & Michael Tryhorn will all appear live in the Church’s hall on Knowlton Road, for an old country-style show.The idea for the event came to band member Jim Bailey while discussing the site’s building plans with reverend Dale Skinner.“Once I realized that the church was having ^Satellite Plus at your service since 1989 FREE INSTALLATION starting at Internet by satellitej?flQ 2 ways * Valid til April 30.2004 + taxes fP'Hot-Spot" at home * wireless access point 1605 King St.West, SHERBROOKE (819) 569-0202 satelliteplus.net trouble getting the money they needed for a wheelchair accessible washroom, 1 thought we should do our part.” The remodeling of an existing facility fits into the Landmark Fund construction project that has already seen the building equipped with an elevator as part of its mandate of eliminating barriers that restrict access to members of the congregation.Skinner also sees the improvements as helping the church meet its obligation to the local community.“Once the project is finished, including upgrading our level of compliance to various codes, we’ll be able to hold all kinds of events in the hall, like concerts, exhibits and other community activities,” he added.Bailey is not leaving any of the evening’s planning to chance.“We’ll make sure the show is a success.We have door prizes of all kinds, donated by local businesses;

And when it moves tortoise-like towards shore, on high water urged along by a powerful wind, damage can be considerable.Depending on its consistency, the ice may either disintegrate into convenient drink-size cubes, or act like a giant bulldozer blade, wreaking havoc along its length — uprooting small trees, making kindling out of decks and docks not raised up enough for storage, and turning boat lifts into scrap metal.Luckily, this time round, most things were high enough.which, given the number of old hippies still around, might not be the best choice of words.Folks out early on Tuesday, April 20, however, could have been unnerved by the sight of a large snowplow heading down Lakeside Road.But no major storm threatened.It was called in to push back a few large slabs of ice that had been driven up half way across the pavement by the open area known as Tiffany Beach.No need to abandon those rakes for the almost-worn-out shovels; they deserve a long rest.Compact tractor 2210 23 hp, 4wD, hydrostatic 3.9%“* T300D USED EQUIPMENT Kubota M120 4wd cab Idr 51,900 Kubota L3600 4 wd cab 1996 Kubota L3300 4wd 1998 16,900 Kubota F2100 Front mower 60” 7,100 Ford TC29D Compact 4wd 24,500 JD 1435 Front mower 2001 14,500 JD 4600 4wd Cab Idr.39 hp 32,000 ‘‘‘John Deere credit approval Spring Special JD5520 4wd cab reverser 89 hp 3 rear SCV ‘Item 73421A 122 rue Lague, L'Ange-Gardien (Québec), JOE 1 EO Tel.(450) 293-8146 7 Rang, St-Joseph, Pike River Tel.(450) 248-7597 Montreal (514) 877-5070 lUf&SWEilstWi&IEMeNirtS.Your John Deere Dealer http://www.lagueltee.com page 8 Wednesday, April 28, 2004 Call Sherbrooke: (819) 569-9525 between 8:30 a.m.and 4:30 p.m.E-mail: classad@sherbrookerecord.com or Knowlton: (450) 242-1188 between 9:00 a.m.and 4:00 p.m.Brome County News CLASSIFIED Deadline: 10 a.m.working day previous to publication Or mail your prepaid classified ads to 88 Lakeside, Knowlton, Quebec JOE 1V0 The Record, P.O.Box 1200, Sherbrooke, Quebec J1H 5L6 001 Property For Sale 001 Property For Sale 100 Job Opportunities 100 Job Opportunities 100 Job Opportunities 100 Job Opportunities 100 Job Opportunities 100 Job Opportunities CALIFORNIA STYLE Soaring ceilings, indoor pool, rich pine interiors.Nestled in the woods with a pond and double garage in the Cowansville countryside 199.000$ A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT M 121 acres with wildtlower meadows, woods, gorgeous mountain views, ponds and the perfect topography to build your castle overlooking your private lake.Call me for details.350,000$ SUNNY AND SOLID ^ » ors, recent windows, screened porch and 4 bedrooms.This West Brome home is seeking a new owner.Easy paved road access.$129.000.TO MY CLIENTS: h is my pleasure lo donate 5% of my commission from our transaction to the charily of ymir choice, lofrether we can make a difference.Award of Excellence: top 10% of Quebec Royal LePage agents for 5 of the last 7 years.SHARYL THOMPSON (450) 266-6888 www.sharyl.com ROYAL LePAGE Broker 001 Property for Sale THINKING OF SELLING?14 award winning years of experience.Knowlton, Sutton, Cowansville region.Free estimate.Royal LePage Action, Broker, Sharyl Thompson (450) 266-6888, www.sharyl.com.OK Career Training YOU CAN BECOME a successful writer by taking our home study course.Send for the free book that explains everything.1-800-559-7632.www.qualityofcourse .com.Quality of Course, Ottawa, ON.ATTENTION REGISTERED NURSES.Full-time positions with full benefits.Various U.S.A.locations.Sign on / relocations allowances.New grads welcome.Medical Career Match 1-877-735-9632.www.medical-careermatch.com.Email: info@medi-calcareermatch.com.EARN $1500.+ WEEKLY stuffing envelopes at home.Free information, visit www.makemo-neystuffingenve-lopes.com or send S.A.S.E.to 7700 Pinevalley Dr., Box 72132, Dept.CN, Vaughan, ON, L4L 9S4.HOMEWORKERS WANTED.$529.27 weekly.Process mail or assemble products at home.(416) 703-5655, 24 hour message.www.TheHomeJob.ca or write: Consumer 599B Yonge St.#259-430, Toronto, ON M4Y 1Z4.AUTOBODY PAINTER required in N.W.T.Looking for skilled, reliable individual willing to relocate.Excellent wages, benefits and pension.Contact Larry Klassic Autobody, Hay River, NT, (867) 874-2261.Fax (867) 874-2875.RV TECHNICIAN required for multi-line Dealership.Excellent pay, benefits and work environment.Located in NWT.Email to employment ©kingland-ford.com.More information at www.king-landford.com.WANTED: Bilingual Salesman/Yardman at landscape retail centre in Knowlton (Stone Haven).Landscaping experience an asset.Please call Mike at (450) 242-1673 after 5:30 p.m.VOLVO for life THE VOLVO S60 SPECIAL EDITION.OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION HAS A LIMITED SHOWING.ITED TIME \ ¦ A * i K ., „ * , S60 SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES: T5 LEATHER SPORT SEATS • 17" TETHYS ALLOY WHEELS • 325 WATT, 13 SPEAKER DOLBY' PROLOGIC SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM WITH IN-DASH 4 CD PLAYER • BLACK MESH ALUMINUM INTERIOR INLAYS • LEATHER SPORT SHIFTER • POWER DRIVER SEAT WITH 3 POSITION MEMORY • FRONT FOG LIGHTS 035 For Rent BONDVILLE - 3 bedroom house to rent.No pets.For more information call (450) 243-5489.MOBILE HOME - 4 1/2, in Sutton, furnished, near ski hill, newly renovated.No animals.References required.$485.monthly.Available immediately.(450) 569-0974.100 Job Opportunities PUT YOUR PC to work!
