however, past winners who maintain their landscaping at high levels receive ‘Class of Excellence’ certificates.The judges also recognize effort; a ‘Most Improved’ award cited up-and-coming gardeners Lance Monette and Chantal Brodeur (village) and Jay Gurandiano (country).The judges also recognize a long list of honourable mentions, a tribute to the popularity of the annual contest.The embellishment committee is also responsible for the planting of public spaces, such as the annual plantings around the town hall.Beauty comes at a price: Jeannine Gagné says the committee spends several thousand dollars each year to purchase flats of annuals, to maintain plantings throughout the summer and to clean up beds before and after planting season.The committee supplements an annual donation from the municipality with profits from a spring plant sale and an annual dinner.Volunteers and one part-time paid worker plant and maintain the beds.This year, their efforts at Town Hall took home the first prize in the commercial building category.Not surprisingly, regional interest in gardening has spawned at least three growing horticultural businesses, in- NOTICE OF ELECTION to the board of directors of Les CLSC et CHSLD de la Pommeraie CALL FOR NOMINATIONS Electoral college: Population 5 POSITIONS In keeping with the provisions of the Act respecting health services and social services (R.S.Q.c.S-4.2), notice is hereby given that 5 persons will be elected to the board of directors of Les CLSC et CHSLD de la Pommeraie.Those interested in participating in the administration of health services and social services are invited to run for the seats reserved for the population.The election is scheduled for: Monday, October 21st, 2002 Eligibility criteria To be eligible, a person shall: 1.Be a candidate only for the election in the institution or one of the institutiions indicated above;

for four years, having purchased our house from Mr.Keyserlingk.I often walk to the turnaround at the end of the road and in the months that it is passable, have followed the path that leads from the turn-around into the woods.Suddenly, according to Mr.Keyserlingk, this path is a nature trail and must be protected at all costs.It is a shame to see the facts twisted in such a way as a result of one resident’s snit In his letter to the editor of the Brome County news of Aug.21,2002, Mr.Keyserlingk starts out by elevating a strip of land at the end of Darrah Road that is muddy and almost impassable three months of the year to the status of‘the Darrah Road path’.He then explains that the anointed path ‘links’ TBL to Brome Lake evoking an image of a vital thoroughfare between two isolated communities.As TBL surrounds Brome on three sides, the closing of this 0.7 km would hardly strangle the flow of ‘nature lovers, cross-country skiers, cyclists and horse riders’ between the two municipalities.Speaking of those nature lovers etc, I have lived on this road for four years and have never seen enough of them in one week to fill Mr.Keyserlingk’s mini van.Mr.Keyserlingk then goes on to explain that TBL has other unconnected recreational paths.Absolutely true.The TBL nature Trails Committee and the Lake Brome Land Foundation would be far wiser to spend scarce resources on those unfinished projects.Mr.Keyserlingk saves the best for last.He worries how much this is going to cost the taxpayers and then issues a thinly veiled threat (which he had already done at the special meeting in Foster) to sue the town should they move forward.The costs would be negligible if Mr.Keyserlingk would simply stop stirring the pot for personal reasons.TBL residents are rightly alarmed by the rising costs of running our municipality.It is time we tell our mayor and councillors to put a stop to this personal vendetta that is draining scarce public funds and human resources.Sell the strip of land to appropriate landowners and move on to important municipal business.Peter Stastny 8 Darrah Road, Lac Brome Loyalists celebrate branch anniversary Memories of local historical heritage were recalled on Aug.17 when the Sir John Johnson Centennial branch of the United Empire Loyalist Association of Canada celebrated 35 years.It was in 1965 that John Chard, then president of the National Association of the United Empire Loyalists, became concerned that there was no branch representing descendants of those loyalists who had settled in Missisquoi County of Quebec.Chard travelled to Quebec in 1967, and following discussions with local people like Murray Mason, Donald MacCallum and Flora and Clifford Rhicard, who were very knowledgeable about local history, was referred to Ruby Moore, the genealogist of the Stanbridge East Historical Society.With Ruby’s enthusiasm and motivation, 125 approved regular charter members were acquired in just five months as the Sir John Johnson Centennial Branch became an official entity on Dec.16,1967.Often referred to as “Royalists,” it should be clarified that these early refugees were not necessarily enamored by the Royal presence, but rather were afraid of the chaos that the revolution was creating and wished to remain loyal to a system of government that they knew.Because of their reluctance to fight against their sovereign, they became outcasts and enemies of their fellow settlers and were driven from what had been their homeland.Today, there are many who can trace their lineage from the Loyalist families who fled to Canada, and we should all be proud of the strength of character of the pioneers who lost all of their possessions, and sometimes their lives, in standing up for their belief in the British system of government These facts were brought home as the Sir John Johnson Centennial branch celebrated their anniversary with a dinner at the Centre Eurospa Restaurant in Mystic.John Chard, U.E.from Belleville, Ont.was the guest speaker, and Jean McCaw, U.E.also spoke about the branch’s accomplishments over the years as the branch continues to assist in restoring historic monuments, documenting cemeteries and promoting the Loyalist Heritage.At the dinner, members were also privileged to welcome the president of the National Association, Myrna Fox, who brought greetings and best wishes from the organization and also a photographic exhibit of the Royal Family in honour of the Queen’s Anniversary Year.Those attending the celebration were fascinated by the exhibits which told the story of our branch by means of scrap books of photographs taken over the 35 years of activities, and also a colourful display of pictures of Sir John Johnson’s ancestral home and of the branch project which is the restoration of Sir John’s grave site at Mont St-Gregoire, Que.United Empire Loyalists Association of Canada Bruis BMP car raffle Sept.6 Staff The
