And why were both of the school’s top students girls?“Obviously because girls are smarter than.well, you know.” Boy’s and girl’s athletes of the year are 12-year-old Alyssa Campbell and 13-year-old Matthew Charby.Both winners had to participate in and excel at a minimum of four major team sports, and accumulate points through a voting system that allowed both coaches and fellow team-mates to assess performance at the end of each tournament.Rounding off the scoring was the final assessment of the Physical Education teacher Roger Leblanc.Campbell summed up her elation at receiving the award: “It’s really great having people congratulate you, having them think of you as a good athlete: it just feels really good.” Although favouring badminton, Charby admits his skills are best used on the basketball court.As for his plans for next year, “I plan to play all the sports available at Massey-Vanier.” The Christie Trew Award went to Elizabeth Allen, in recognition of her all round love of school, her keen participation in various school activities, her overall friendliness and her keen attitude towards the social and personal aspects of life at Knowlton Academy.“I was surprised when I heard my name called out” said Allen.“I was.ecstatic.” Elizabeth’s name was among those selected by each of the Academy’s teachers who then submitted them to former school secretary Marilyn Graham who made the final selection.Chelsea Harding won the 2000 Citizenship Award, given to the Sec- PHILIP A.GODIN/CORRESPONDENT Principal's Award recipient Ashley Smith.A lot of work all year long.’ ondary One student who demonstrated exemplary leadership qualities and a positive attitude towards school activities throughout the school year.Congratulations to these stu- dents, other award recipients and to the graduating class of 2000.JOB OPPORTUNITY COWANSVILLE TOYOTA ï Jacques David Sales Representative 397 River St., Cowansville Tel.: (450) 263-8888 Res.: (450) 538-2378 Courriel: cowan.toy@sympatico.ca PHILIP A.GODIN/CORRESPONDENT Athlete of the year Alyssa Campbell.‘It feels great.n:m pS* figf Auberge West Brome Summer at the Auberge!

Wednesday, August 2, 2000 Brome County News Foster developer raises funds for schools By Philip A.Godin Record Correspondent Knowlton Foster resident Lloyd Sturtevant hosted a benefit evening on St-Iean-Baptiste Day, the proceeds of which were divided between the two local elementary schools in Knowlton.For an undisclosed donation to the kitty, guests were treated to a wrestling match, a BBQ.supper and a fireworks display.The entire fête took place on site at the Sturtevant property, the old Foster school situated at the intersections of Routes 215 and 243 at the north end of the Lake.Brome Lake Councillor for the Foster Ward Donald Wing was on hand to witness the granting of $1,075 to Murray Gunson Principal of Knowlton Academy for their breakfast fund and the same amount to l’École St-Édouard Principal Brian Rogers who will keep the donation in the school’s “rainy day fund.” When asked what motivated this act of generosity, Wing explained, “Sturtevant has been trying to show that he has a real concern for the well-being of the whole community, especially the young kids.It’s no secret that he’s been trying for a long time to have this property rezoned to build an Auberge and has been having a difficult time of it.Maybe people will eventually see him in a different light when he does these things.I for one hope he gets it (the rezoning).” Last year, a similar event took in $500 which was donated to the Brome Lake Community Centre’s Youth Fund.Beef and pork on BBQat Brome fairgrounds Aug.5 marks the 15th annual fund-raising BBQ.of the Brome County Agricultural Society held at the fairgrounds.Master BBQ’er George Rhicard will light the wood fire early Saturday morning to cook the eight hips of beef and 16 legs of pork along with hundreds of baked potatoes.All of this cooks in one huge BBQdesigned and built by local blacksmith and BCAS director, Alain Lavigne.The hungry folk will start to gather in the late afternoon to enjoy a delicious meal along with their favorite beverage.Dinner will be served from 5 p.m.to 8 p.m.in the arena and then many people will stay and more will show up to enjoy an evening of good old country music and dancing provided by the very talented Sandy Ward and Roadhouse.Come and join the crowd at this ‘must see’ event which is a fund-raiser for our annual Brome Fair, a tradition since 1856.Tickets are $12.(children 6-12 are $6.) and are available from directors or at the door.For information call 450-242-EXPO (3976) or www.bromefair.com Terry Fox silent auction fund-raiser Aug.12-13 A silent
