A group of little elves, reindeer, snowmen, toy dolls and soldiers from Parkview Elementary created a world for a short time away from the hospital and its cares and up to the North Pole with Santa and Mrs.Claus.” COURTESY JOHN BARR Music students from Parkview Elementary brought the North Pole to the BMP Hospital last Friday.Sim K MW Ctvistini t Butera StyfeVColouhst (Sion Luc) Mi-Timing M 4 Owner MntnASBO 58 Prindptlt N, Sutton, Quebec S38-S858 V ' SALON LUC • HAIR SALON ESTHEBELIA • ESTHETICS Contractor IXDCl MO HUBS Vu3120 Machinery work Hydraulic hammer (rock breaker) Private roads * Land shaping • Drainage • Artificial lakes/ponds • Septic systems Demolition Foundation ._ Topsoil - Aggregate VALUÈRESA^-0""' Fuklstcoe Electronique Informatique (450) 243-6183 Roast Beef Dinner All you an cat!

Correspondent Artist France Clavet, who moved to Knowlton last year and is in the process of building a studio on Moffat Road, has won first grand prize as a portrait artist in the Concours International des Arts de Montreal 2004 for her painting The Armourer.Known internationally for her intricate mythological work, Clavet sees the prize as opening a door to further work in the genre.“I have always used subjects for my paintings and I have been honoured to have won other prizes, but this is the first time my ability to paint portraits has been acknowledged.Because of it I have decided to offer myself as a portrait artist,” Clavet told BCN.“1 used the Chiaroscuro Rembrandt technique which I studied in Belgium to execute the portrait.The subject of the Armourer lives in Knowlton, he sat for me here.I am able to do portraits and to blend in any background the subject wants — be it outdoors or even in a mythological setting.” The Acadian born Clavet began studying art at the age of 6, eventually entering the Ecole des Beaux-Arts after a year in Europe haunting the great museums.She held her first solo exhibition in 1985 with works exploring the themes of mythology, dreams, surreal symbolism and poetry.She has taken part in 40 group shows in Canada, the U.S.France and Italy and in a dozen or so solo shows.“I embarked on a mission to use my paintings to raise awareness, particularly among children, of art appreciation as well as respect of our environment,” she explained.Drawing precision and detail are of prime importance in Clavet’s work.Her painting

issues have often dominated her art.Her study, In Memoriam, was chosen by the director of Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal to represent the massacre of female students 15 years ago.Clavet’s recent move to Knowlton represents an important life changing decision and a new beginning for her.“It is wonderful here.I needed to get away from the city where I have lived for 30 years.I knew the area because some friends from Westmount had summer houses here and I came to visit.I fell in love with this place.It is good for the soul and the mind.I needed to be with nature,” Clavet added.“I found this property on Moffatt Road.It is 12 acres.For the last year and a half we have been renovating the house, but now we are ready to start on the studio in the spring.“I have the design, there will be lots of windows all around and bright space, it will bring the outdoors inside.Eventually, I would like to bring students to the workshop.I am often asked if I would teach, and with the changes in my life, I think that I finally will.” Clavet is also in the process of building a Web site, which she hopes to have completed by Christmas, where her many paintings are on view at www.france-clavet.ca.“It is very beautiful to be here.I am discovering that there are many artists around Knowlton, many creative people in this area.I am so happy, I feel very much at home.Now I can devote myself completely to my art,” she concluded.COURTESY FRANCE CLAVET France Clavet won the grand prize as a portrait artist in the Concours International des Arts de Montreal 2004for this painting, The Armourer.lAJUKlbàï

€nèemble mafioueë a mebiebal Christmas jf&ee ilnfo: 450 263-2346 Iwas thinking about this early this morning as I was trying to scrape all the snow and ice off my van.The temptation was there to just clear enough ice so I could peek out through a slit in the window, and drive Tiger Tank style.But that could have been more trouble than it was worth.We’ve all done it, some more than others.The freezing rain of the night before coats your car in ice, and you’re late for work.Or the weather is just plain nasty and you want to get out of it as soon as you can.So you clear away what at the moment seems to be enough of the ice, and decide to let the defroster do the rest.And just forget about rest of the ice, or the big mound of snow on the roof.Imagine what it’s like for a truck driver.By law and common sense they are supposed to clear built-up snow and ice from their vehicles as well.But who really wants to climb up fifteen feet or so to clear the ice from a transport trailer?At least one truck driver failed to do that recently, and it almost caused some serious problems.Two Granby residents were riding along on Autoroute 10 when a big chunk of ice flipped off the roof of the truck in front of them, caving in the windshield of their car.The passenger ended up going to the hospital to have shards of glass washed out of his eyes and ears.But it could have been much worse.Ice can be pretty unforgiving at highway speeds.Beyond the fact the snow and ice on your car could blow off and blind others, or worse, is the matter of being able to see and be seen.Cars already come with blind spots, and we don’t need to make them any bigger.You also want to make sure that anyone coming your way can see you and you can see them.Otherwise you’re just asking for trouble.You’ll also be asking for trouble from the law.A driver in a rush who doesn’t bother to properly clean their vehicle could end up wasting more time being stopped by the police.The defroster should have cleared the windows on its own by the time the cop hands you the $95 fine.That’s a best-case scenario.If your failure to not make your car look like a portable igloo causes an accident, you could also be looking at a charge of criminal negligence.If the accident kills someone, up that to criminal negligence causing death.The next window you’ll be clearing the frost from will have bars in it.Now let’s not get carried away here.It’s not like this is a rampant problem, with dozens of motorists killed by poor visibility or flying ice.It’s more a matter of common sense: In the winter all drivers are a little closer to going into the ditch, or having an accident, that’s just the way it is.With slippery roads and poor visibility a regular feature of winter driving, we need to do whatever we can to make the driver easier, safer.Seeing and being seen is important, and none of us want to add the occasional flying chunk of ice to the mix.Properly cleaning your car is a simple way to do just that.Not just the windshield and the headlights, the whole car.It’s not usually that big of a job, and it gives your car a chance to warm up a little, and get your blood flowing at the same time.And in the long run it may save you and those around you a lot of trouble.By the way, fancy ice and snow scrapers make for cheap Christmas gifts when you’re in a pinch.Under The Hood Maurice
