Correspondent Going into its third and final week of production at Arts Knowlton, The King and I has been declared a resounding success.With four performances to go, this Thursday through Sunday, only a very few seats are left with Sunday and Saturday shows already sold out.“We’ve done well, many of the shows were sold out with maybe two, on a Thursday or Friday not completely sold out — with maybe 85 in the audience,” said Roger de la Mare of Knowlton Players.The lavish Lucy MacAuley-directed production, with a cast of over 40, is true to Rogers and Hammerstein’s 1951 musical, full of period costumes, exotic backdrops, complex choreography and soaring with memorable music.De la Mare acknowledged that the show could probably go right on for another couple of weeks with packed ing,” he said.“We really all need to get back to our lives.But I must admit we have talked about how nice it would be to take the show on the road for a performance or two.” Opening night was a benefit for the ladies Auxiliary of the BMP, netting over $1,000 for the hospital.Blocks of tickets were sold — the Anglo-Franco Committee of Waterloo enjoyed the show last Friday, a group from the Manoir Lac Brome is going to the show this Friday, and 45 school children from Waterloo Elementary will see the final performance on Sunday.“It’s been a good show for children, they really seem to enjoy it,” said de la Mare.courtestyjim maclellan js there any point trying to get a Arts Knowlton’s version of Rogers and Hammerstein’s The King and I is in its final week.ticket?“Sure, its’ possible we usually have a

home for troubled francophones in Cowansville.“Mrs.Contât left her money for the benefit of children,” said Bob McMaster, vice-president of the project.“This is really what Mrs.Contât wanted, this is where she wanted us to focus our attention.” Five years ago the Contât Trust helped Brome-Missisquoi Anglophone Youth Services move from a cramped bungalow into a more modern home built to suit its needs.BMAYS now houses about eight troubled youth, some who are in trouble and some who come from troubled family situations.“This house was built on the same concept as BMAYS,” said McMaster, who was involved in both projects.He said improvements were made based on the experience of building the anglophone group home.The new home on D’Ontario Street has eight bedrooms and a ninth room that can be used as a bedroom, though it now serves as an office.It was built on the vacant lot that used to belong to the St-Leon Community Centre, which burned down in December.2000.In all the Contât Foundation put up $600,000 for the project.“We found it was very important for each child to have their own room,” McMaster said.“When you consider the backgrounds some of these kids come from, this is a big improvement.” “It makes a major difference if you can afford to have one kid per room,” added Alain Gagnon, clinical co-ordinator for the region’s group homes.The group home was designed to handle the rigors of having eight young people living under one roof.The gyproc has been reinforced with fiberglass, and the lights are recessed into the walls.Each bedroom has its own lock, though the co-ordinator has a master key, just in case.There are five bathrooms, to keep competition for showers and such to a minimum.“The contractor (Pierre Laroque) was very good with the details,” McMaster said.McMaster himself followed the project on a daily basis, making sure everything went smoothly.Construc- tion began in July and the first teens moved in on Oct.15.Built on a three-acre property, the group home is only using half of the space.The other half will be donated to the Town of Cowansville for use as a neighborhood park.If the town opts not to maintain the park, its ownership will revert to the group home.The group home also includes a boardroom, which can also be used by other community groups if needed.A pool will be put in next summer.Gagnon said the demand for these homes in the region is still high.“There are waiting lists for this service,” he said.“The children could be in foster homes or waiting centres until a space becomes available.” nm k kmakY' Unlimited

pick a person at random, dig a little and a story will emerge, often a very interesting and unexpected one.A series of workshops beginning Zoo Giving Scholarships • x < t ?• H tàl T AS UN!Vi^::aiAS .TIRAGE GRATUIT I FREE DRAW | ! YOU COULD WIN GAGNEZ 9,000 s IIs 9,000 next week at Bishop's University Knowlton Campus are aimed at helping people write their memoirs, books about their lives — putting down in writing their legacy for children, grandchildren and beyond."A lot of people say I've had a great life, maybe 1 should write a book — but they rarely do.Other people might want to, but don't feel they are able or even have the material," said Frances Gallagher, who will be teaching the workshops."It is really not that hard to do and we'll be going through all the steps together, one page, one chapter at a time.When you break it down, it's not that big a project." Gallagher, who led such workshops with groups from Elderhostel at the Joli Vent for many years, has most recently been instructing students at Bishop's in writing screenplays.2 x 4.500$ njù-yaî-i&ii ¦iüii'.ii 2 % 4,500$ DAVID ANDERSON/SPECIAL Most people win scholarships for academic and athletic ability but the Granby Zoo is offering a $9,000 in scholarships through a free draw.Both of the S4,500 scholarships are sponsored by the Granby Zoo and the Universitas Foundation."I found the Elderhostel groups very enthusiastic and decided why not try it at Bishop's.Many of the students there are baby boomers, they've lived through the 60's and 70's, they've lived through incredible times of change — free love — all kinds of things, it was a very active generation," she explained."If it's not written down it's going to be lost.There are people here in Knowlton who lived through the war, people who grew up in far away towns and cities, there is all kinds of wonderful information buried in memories out there.It needs to be written down, for children and future generations to see.It's important information." The workshops, in both French and English, last four weeks and begin on Nov.10.French classes are in the morning from 9:30 a.m.to 12:30 p.m.and English classes from 2 to 5 p.m.The cost is $125."Four weeks is not that long for this type of project.We'll see how it goes but I imagine that we will continue with the workshops after Christmas," continued Gallagher.The workshops will take place in the library of the recently relocated centre, now at 99 Knowlton Road."It's a beautiful room with a big round table we can all gather round," said Gallagher."Each workshop will cover various topics and I will assign work for each one to bring to the next workshop." The topics include getting started, selecting anecdotes, short stories and longer pieces, working from scratch and working from diaries, desktop publishing, scanning photos and what to do with the finished work."With the technology today is it so easy to put a book together.It can be printed right on a computer or taken to a shop to be printed off — you can get 20 or so copies for $200 to $300," she concluded."Think of all the Christmas presents that will make."
