It is almost impossible to describe the frenetic antics, but there are some brilliantly funny bits and delightful satires of theatre and pop culture.(The puppet theater and references to Pirandello and Beckett’s Waiting For Godot are particularly clever and comical.) There is a wonderful balance of physical and intellectual comedy here.It is not necessary to have read the book - after all, Sims tells Don he hasn’t finished it and he plays a main character.Throughout the play, the novel is mentioned and explained, but a lot is seen from Sims’s point of view (“I haven’t finished the book but I’ve seen Man of la Mancha a zillion times.”) And he has a copy of Coles Notes! Don is the purist, the one who loves the book (Smollett translation) and loathes musical theater.Audiences will identify with one or the other, or perhaps poor Carmen, who is just caught in the middle and trying to figure out how to survive her contractual engagement.The dialogue is dazzling at times, and the plays on words demands concentration through the laughter.This is a play that does not attempt to reach out to the lowest common denominator.This is not something you would see on U.S.television.It demands an intelligent and literate audience, one which is well-versed in theatre and has a love of words.The acting is uniformly excellent.Wilcock is wonderful as Don; the actor is in fact quite young but one would never guess from his make-up and mature performance.He rolls through his mono- logues and dialogues with enormous verve and appears to savor every word.He is no less accurate in his physical maneuvers.Sims is also a joy to watch.He’s hilarious as the modern actor whose credits include a guest spot on Viper.At first it seems his character is shallow and ignorant, but he quickly reveals himself to be quite literate and crafty.Sims’s monologue of mixed proverbs, which he delivers while dancing with Wheeler, drew applause from an impressed opening-night audience on Saturday night.Wheeler is marvelous as Carmen, a supposedly Latin babe whose accent occasionally lapses into Canadian.She delivers a Marilyn Monroe-style drop-dead-sexy comic performance that is a tremendous distance from her last appearance at the theatre as the demure heroine of Beaux Gestes et Beautiful Deeds.David Vivian’s set, a backdrop of 17th-century Spain, is plain in concept but lovely in detail.Vivian’s costume for Quixote is especially good.With a strong and sure direction by the theatre’s artistic director Nicholas K.Pynes, who also plays piano, Don Quixote de Lac Brome is a real delight - and the local references are bound to please residents.Don Quixote de Lac Brome continues at Theatre Lac Brome in Knowlton through July 11.To reserve tickets, call the box office at (450) 242-2270.Knowlton Pony Club Alive & Well 4 Sugarhill Rd.(corner of Mt.Echo Rd.)

Entre temps, certains épiciers bri- tanniques ont trouvé une autre façon de raccourcir les lignes à la caisse: ils augmentent les prix en période de pointe.- Est-ce possible que cette idée d’une queue spéciale à forfait parviennent jusqu’ici et soit utilisée partout où nous devons faire la queue?À la banque (là où il y a encore des services): payer pour remettre plus vite son argent en dépôt: à la clinique ou chez le médecin ou le dentiste; à l’entrée au concert ou au théâtre, au lave-auto, au restaurant, au garage et partout ailleurs.Il y aurait donc deux classes bien distinctes: les argentés et les autres.Non, c’est une mauvaise idée, plutôt que de déranger tout notre système de queues, ne vaudrait-il pas mieux que les riches de ce monde envoient leurs employés faire tout simplement “notre” queue pour eux - sans tout chambarder?Special day for Knowlton Golden Agers Today, (June 4) was a special day for us at the knowlton Golden Agers.First of all, the winners of the May aggregate scores for ‘500’ were announced by Ormonde Brown.Doris Smith was first with 11,840 points.The runner-up was Ethel Marsh who had 11,340 total points for the month.Way to go, girls! n r CAM-AM 1 INVITATION STAKE CAN-AM TROT & AMBLE 2 & 3 ans fHÉ MUY !

As owner of a full-size cargo van for seven years, I was a very popular fellow on moving days.Giving friends a hand was never a problem; it was the near strangers who’d come and ask, “Hey, doing anything with that van tomorrow?” that would make you want to disappear for awhile.Also at moving time, 1 think back and realize I never had any city friends who lived on the first floor of any building.Most were on or near the top of old structures with narrow twisting staircases and creaky elevators that were less dependable than the weather for the pre-schoolers' picnic.It was always the most valuable and fragile things that got dinged the worst; similarly, the newly-painted wall would be the one the bed spring fell against.Friends who will be moving July 1 are going through a familiar (but so far quite civil) moving time debate: should professionals be hired, or will the rela-tives-and-buddies system be the way to go?There is a distinctive split in advice and opinions on the matter - the ladies prefer the pros while the guys figure they can do it themselves, fast and cheap, no problem.The neighbors are of merchandises on the SIDEWALK & inside the store SOPER LIQUIDATION INCREDIBLE PRICES up to 80 reduction!

Another wondered if Doug Henning or David Copperfield were available on short notice, or maybe Super Dave Osborne could help.The net result is that appliances stored in the old pig house now number four fridges, four washers, and three dryers.Many lessons are out there for the do-it-yourself mover.Having come close to losing several fingers.I know now to always tie down a hide-a-bed or any sort of folding sofa, cot, or ping-pong table.When helping friends bring along extra gloves, boxes, tape, and twine.If moving yourself, don’t forget to take light-bulbs and toilet paper to the new residence.And, as a random thought, why does the common sofa need so many names - couch, divan, chesterfield, ottoman, davenport, etc.?A young friend who moved last week for the third time in as many years lamented the fact he’d managed to accumulate so much stuff over so short a period.He was right to ponder the question.How much of the clutter we surround ourselves with is of any real use or value?(Another friend bought four big old cone-head hair dryers from a defunct beauty salon; he has no plans for them, but maintains the price was too good to pass up.) I’ve always had a kind of wistful admiration for older cultures that could load all worldly belongings on their backs or their beasts and be gone on barely more than a moment’s notice.They seem somehow freer than we are.

Cowansville Cowansville Canada Day organizers were working feverishly yesterday to get the Centre de Nature set up for the hundreds of people expected to show up for games, music, rib-eye steak, dancing and much more.“It's going to be a fabulous day and we’re going to have a super time,” predicted Richard Staples, a member of the Canada Day committee.Staples made these predictions, despite the ominous rain clouds, based on what occurred at the Canada Day soccer tournament on Saturday.“The weather was wet, just like today, but we played right through, and it cleared up, the same as it will do today,” he said.About 400 kids, aged 5 to 15, played in the tournament with 28 different teams.Each participant won a Canada pin and a certificate for competing in the tournament.Even if Staples’ optimistic weather forecast does not hold true, the committee’s $4,000 worth of fireworks will go off, rain or shine.Couleurs urbaines Granby 1998 Symposium cTartistes-peintres 2 au 5 juillet

Seventh annual House and Garden tour Touring the beautiful homes of Brome Lake Staff On July 15 seven Lac Brome homeowners will be throwing open their doors and inviting the public in to see their beautiful houses as part of Knowlton’s House and Garden Tour.The annual fund raiser for Theatre Lac Brome is celebrating seven successful years of operation this July.The event’s main attraction, obviously, is the chance for people to visit some of the area’s most beautiful homes and landscaped grounds.“Some people say it’s a dream day.They like to see how other people decorate and garden, and the houses give them ideas for their own places,” said Paula Richardson, a member of the Theatre’s board of directors, and one of the tour’s organizers.There are older houses, newer houses, and every variety in between.One home is a 177-year-old Imperial Loyalist beauty, another is a brand-new dream home, built to exact specifications.The style of home varies immensely as well.There is everything from a redecorated farmhouse to a Tudor-style home.Between 10 to 4 p.m.members of the tour are free to wander in and out of the homes and gardens.There are volunteer sitters at each house to ensure that everything goes smoothly.Year after year the people who lend their homes to the Tour are amazed at how immaculate their houses are when the Tour is over.“People are very considerate and careful.They are conscious that they are in someone else’s home, and they respect that,” said Richardson.It is sometimes difficult for Richardson to find people willing to have their homes displayed to the public’s roving eye, nonetheless, every year they find the houses.“The one amazing thing is how many generous people do let us show their houses,” said Richardson.The House and Garden Tour has been hugely popular over the years.It has evolved into one the Theatre’s biggest fund-raisers.“I’ve heard that some people in Ontario even plan their vacation around Knowlton’s House and Garden,” said Richardson.Thanks in part to the success of the House and Garden tour, Theatre Lac Brome is debt-free for the first time in nine years.Tickets for the event are $40.That includes admission to the homes, a map of the circuit, and a gourmet lunch.Lunch consists of a chicken croissant, home-made chutney, fruit and bottled water.Lunches can be picked up at the Theatre between 9 to 12 p.m.on Wednesday, July 15.Tickets for the event can be purchased from various Knowlton merchants and at the theatre.People are encouraged to reserve early, because tickets have run out in the past.Preparing today's youth for the m The education reform isn’t just another abstract idea.In fact, very real changes are already underway.The goal of the reform is to better prepare our youth for the next century and the new jobs it will bring.In this spirit, updated programs will be introduced at the elementary level as of September 1999 and at the secondary level as of September 2001.The education reform is in progress.# Better language skills for a brighter future More hours will be devoted to English and French courses, both as the language of instruction and the second language.Also, secondary-level students will have the option of learning a third language such as Spanish, which is becoming increasingly useful as economic and cultural relations develop between Québec and Latin America.Knowing the world we live in £ The new history, geography and citizenship education program will be taught in the third grade of elementary school as of 1999.Then, and this is an additional change, students will take history at all of the subsequent grade levels up to the end of their secondary studies.of tomorrow Moving with the times The programs for all other subjects will be updated, particularly arts education, mathematics, science and technology, and moral and religious education as well as physical education and health education.Not all students have the same needs, the same ambitions or the same interests.That is why, from now on, starting in the third year of secondary school, students will choose optional courses in a variety of areas.And for certain courses, such as modern languages, mathematics, and science and technology, they will even be able to choose the level of difficulty that best suits their ability.These are only some of the improvements being made as part of the education reform.For further information, please feel free to call the Ministère de l’Éducation at (418) 643-7095 or visit its Web site at the following address: http://www.meq.gouv.qc.ca Québec a

AmyTectok Waterloo Waterloo Legion’s annual Canada Day breakfast on Wednesday had its biggest turnout in recent memory, said Legionnaire Fred Garwood.Hundreds of people enjoyed an enormous breakfast in a tent behind the Legion from 8 to 11 a.m.Not only did those in attendance get a delicious meal cooked up by volunteers, but they were treated to live music and the chance to win a variety of prizes from a Raleigh bicycle to a barbecue.Money raised will go towards paying for the day.and various Legion charities.The highlight ol the morning was the raising of the flag at the Waterloo Town Hall as the church bells tolled out 0 Canada.Town councillors and the mayor then made speeches, stressing the pride of being Canadian.“It's a time for celebration - as we get older we realize how important the country is,” said Legionnaire Elwyn Buzzel.“We’re getting more American in a way.We’re showing the flag more and getting behind the government -the federal government that is.” 4: "N M i

The second part is obviously the wish of the writer; “It is hoped that All Saints’ Anglican will continue to be active in the Dunham community and that, in a few years, the congregation can proudly celebrate the 200th anniversary of this historic old church.” In response to this excerpt, the congregation does and will continue to be both a part and a needed presence in the Dunham area.This year we celebrate not our 200th anniversary as a parish, but as a parish that has been a constant presence in this area for 190 years.We are certainly looking forward to our 200-year-anniversary, but we feel like celebrating now.This year we have a number of events planned to mark this milestone of 190 years.We will have a dinner at the end of October and on November 1st a celebration of the Holy Eucharist with our Bishop assisting, the Rt.Rev.Russel Hatton.Other events will include a community choir hymn sing and a sung evensong with a choir from Montreal and other events that have yet to be organized.We will be publishing a more detailed list of events by the end of the summer.We worship on Sundays at 10:30 a.m.each Sunday.Newcomers are always welcome.Any inquiries may be put to the Rector at (450) 295-2201 or fax at (450) 295-2411.Submitted by the Rector: Rev.Arnold Godsoe.Club de golf CEDRES Les Cèdres Course 9 holes par 27 or 30 Les Mélèzes Course 9 holes par 30 or 34 THURSDAY LADIES’ DAY (Every Thursday till Sept.10th) DAY 8:30 a.m.Registration Coffee, croissant 9:00 a.m.Clinic 10:00 a.m.9 hole game Cost: $ CEDRES 1 5 MÉLÈZES $1 8 (all included) EVENING 5:30 p.m.Registration Coffee, muffin 6:00 p.m.Clinic 6:45 p.m.9 hole game Cost: CÈDRES 1 4 (all included) (except1 $13.50/18 holes (taxes included) Les Cèdres & Les Mélèzes Waterloo-* Rang Bruce LES CEDRES 669 Coupland Road, Granby, Que.J2G 9J6 Tel.: (514>) 372-0167 Simulated oil spill exercise in Potton 5,000 barrels of -simulated -crude oil flood into the Missisquoi By Murielle Parkes Record Correspondent Mansonville For two days in early June, the area around the Mansonville Town Hall resembled a civil emergency.Parked conspicuously outside the Fire Hall was an Environment Canada truck, while nearby two young men waited for an “urgent call” in a Bell Mobility van.Add to the scenario an assortment of firemen, the mayor, several councillors and a dozen or more of the management and staff called in from Montreal Pipe Line Limited to work in one of several makeshift offices built on the second floor, plus at least a score of other visitors milling around doorways.Clearly something was happening that was out of the ordinary.Indeed, the setting had all the signs of a misadventure.Except this disaster had been carefully planned.The exercise was intended to simulate a 5,000-barrel spill of crude oil into the Missisquoi River at the pipeline crossing in Potton.Mansonville firemen were immediately called to the scene where they in- stalled a floating collector dam placed across the river in Glen Sutton to capture the spill before it travelled too far downstream.At the same time, the emergency called for the evacuation of residents along the Missisquoi River, the burning to the ground of a hotel, and the simulation of two youngsters lost in the area during an overnight camping trip.By the time it was all over at 3 p.m.Thursday afternoon, authorities including Environment Canada, Environment Quebec, the Municipality of Potton, and Montreal Pipe Line Limited, had checked out the readiness of various emergency preparedness teams, The company -responsible for the pipe line system which comes from Portland, Maine, enters Canada at a point near High-water, Quebec, and travels 70 pipeline miles to the refinery area of Montreal-East - were the instigators of the simulation.Said a satisfied Jacques Hébert, secretary-treasurer for Potton, “It was a difficult exercise.But it was a good one.We all learned a lot.” (?* ESTABLISHED IN 1983 bA BOHEME ARTISANAT 2446A Lakeshore Road Clarenceville, Quebec J0J 1B0 450-294-201 7 £ Toll free: 1-888-Y Boheme (926-4363) î ?BECAUSE WE PROBABLY HAVE WHAT 2 YOU ARE LOOKING FOR CRAFT SUPPLY IMPORTER Puffy Poms - Plastic Canvas - Magnetic Tape -Punchnello - Gimp - Holly Berry Stamens -Putter Cups - Coin Music Slots - Key Wind - Music Boxes- Floral Battery Lights - Doll Joints - Shank Eyes_and Noses - Wiggle Eyes - (Round-Oval-Printed) - Bells IV A Batons yarns and pattern books Leisure Arts and Design Originals pattern books » Wooden Toys and Household Items f SAVE UP TO 40% everyday and SAVE the has-sel of the exchange rate and duties.BUY your supplies for the same price that you would pay south of the border GIFT CERTIFICATES AVAILABLE Business Hours: ,—, Wed., Thur., Fri.: 10 a.m.to 5 p.m.\j) Sun: 1 p.m.to 5 p.m.Q> Mon., Tues., Sat., and Evenings: By Appointment Please send $1.00 for catalogue./• Refundable on first order (| S&e us at SUTTON MARKET - Sutton July 4,11, 18 and 25,1998 y Have a great summer!
