With the departure of the municipal police force two years ago, the volunteer First Responders unit quickly became an important part of the community.First Responders answer on average about a call a day, helping people who are sick or injured until an ambulance can arrive.On more than one instance they have been credited with saving lives.Entitled To Russia With Love, the Aug.15 event will see 90 per cent of the funds raised go to the First Responders Unit via Heward Grafftey’s Safety Sense Institute.Safety Sense will in turn issue a numbered tax receipt.Safety Sense and Grafftey have been watching the Brome Lake First Responders unit closely, noting that its model may be used in other rural Canadian town's.Tickets for the fundraiser are $100 each or $185 for a couple.Supporters can also become patrons by donating $500, which includes two tickets and the donor’s name will be displayed at the Knowlton Theatre as a gesture of thanks.The number of tickets are limited.Diana Timmins said tickets should be purchased no later than Aug.3, so organizers and caterers can make the necessary arrangements.Monique Foster is catering the event.From Russia with Love takes place at 272 Lakeside Road, right next to the Knowlton Golf Club, from noon to 4 p.m.on Sunday, Aug.15.Tickets can be purchased at a number of Knowlton businesses, including Coldbrook Realties, Woolrich and Jones New York.For more information contact Diana Timmins at 450-242-1168.Hamilton brings superb pipes to Sutton By Wendy Denman Record Correspondent Classical jazz featuring a strong female voice is what fans will hear when Lynne Hamilton takes the stage at Club Coeur de Village in Sutton on July 24.“Lynne’s vocals are reminiscent of the lush sounds of Billy Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan,” mused jazz musician David Sutherland.“She especially appreciates the place the vocal line takes.Her goal is simple: She wants to play some fine music with some fine musicians who take the art seriously.” Hamilton, a French as a second language teacher at Knowlton Academy, discovered how much she loves to sing while preparing a group of school children for a Christmas concert during a two-year stint in the Arctic.“I guess you could say I’ve sung all my life, but during that concert 1 realized for the first time just how much 1 love music.I love to sing all kinds of music,” she said.“I’d say jazz and Broadway music are my very favorites at the moment.I won’t do any music I don’t like.But I like a lot of music — I listen to Dr.Dre — and I love Baroque.” Born in Granby, Hamilton travelled around, living in Montreal and See Jazz, Page 6 WIND K WhrfMf Unlimited Monthly Membership $40.00 (Solans only) Air conditioned, professional l private.M oil all Australian Sold products Sumner Hours: Mon.-Sat: 8 aM30 pm i Principale N, Sutton, Quebec 538-5858 With or without appointments iDCMmM (*rtin ROCH Contractor LKXMY MQ: INI-MS-J2 • Machinery work • Hydraulic hammer (rock breaker) • Private roads * Land shaping • Drainage • Artificial iakes/ponds • Septic systems • Demolition - Foundation - ^'Topsoil - Aggregate WALLIÈRES A’ Gravel • Fieldstone ifetime Guarantee NO MORE.runaway and lost dogs, angry neighbours, wrapped up cords & chains (450) 242-2544 11, ch.Glen, Bolton-Ouest Stove ( ) Collin, Knowlton, QC (450) 245 1556 • (XOO> 6«>2-5lll rv Poolside BBQ Everyday from 11 a.m.to 7 p.m.Do not forget to oraer our famous duck wings $8,s,o*149S NEW!!!!!!!!
