Jocelyne Meunier brings out the PR-RP 10th anniversary cake.SEE recycling, page 5 Literacy council offers reading, math and computer tutoring By Caroline Kehne Record Correspondent Cowansville International Literacy Day, a day set aside to recognize the need for literacy programs, passed with little fen-fare, eclipsed perhaps by the beginning of the school year.Yet it is a matter of no small significance to Canadians.According to the findings of the Adult Literacy Survey, literacy is a strong predictor of economic success in life.Furthermore, access to high-paying careers in business or technology requires firm grounding in fundamental skills, as well as a predisposition toward acquiring new ones.According to the survey, just 20 per cent of Canadians are currently prepared for the reading or writing challenges associated with today’s knowledge-based economy.Yamaska Literacy Council, a member of Laubach Literacy Canada, is a private, non-profit organization whose goal is to try to plug the shortfall between public school education and market demands.SEE READING, PAGE 6 \%LDEfilHEATRE 104 N.Main St.St.Albans, Vt.002-527-7888 Pharmacist Hong»: Mon., Hies., Wed.9-8 p.m.Thun.& Fri.9-9 p.m.Sat 9 - 5 pm.408 South St, Cowansville 263-2171 ESSÂÎM Always at your servies SEPTEMBER 15" - SEPTEMBER 21" Keanu Reaves «1 THE WATCHER _ 749 0 SPACE COWBOYS ^ 7 + 9:20 Mat: Sat/Sun.: 2 For your reward miles Residence pour les Aines / Retirement Residence Séjour convalescence ou de longue durée soins 24 h sur 24.choose /SH all the way Open Daily 8-10 p.m.472 Knowtton Rd.Knowtton 243-6692 Keanu Reeves m THE REPLACEM THE CELL 7 Mat.: Sat ./Sun «MMMWHi yy 2® Mount Echo, Knowtton (450) 242^863 •page 2 • Wed-nesdav, September-13,-2000 Brome County News Brome County Community Billboard Community Calendar September 11 Knowlton Nursery School: Classes for our 2000-2001 school year will begin on Monday, September 11th.Knowlton Nursery School is a non-profit bilingual preschool program for children aged 3 to 5 years old.We are located in Knowlton Academy.Our classes take place Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m.to 11:30 a.m.For more information or to register your child, call Jocelyn MacLeod @ 243-1220.September 13 Massey-Vanier Parent General Assembly at MV School auditorium, 7:30 p.m.The purpose of this meeting is to elect 4 parent representatives to the Governing Board as well as a representative to the ETSB Parent's Committee and the members of the Massey-Vanier Parent Participation Organization.Please come out to support your school as well as those parents who wish to be on the committees.Info.(450) 263-3772.September 16 Come one, come all!

skills competitions, which included dribbling passing, throw-ins and shooting; games of “Soccer-Golf” and “Soccer-Baseball”; and an in-house round-robin.For registration information for the 2001 season, contact the Brome Lake Community Centre at 242-2200.Landscaping 3 Excavation • Sifted Top Soil • Field stone, etc.• Sewage System • Road Building • Artificial Pond • Clearing Land • Equipped with rake, V bucket & DITCH BUCKET William Sayers - (450)248-2187 SUTTON SATURDAY MARKET COURTESY BROME LAKE SOCCER PROGRAM Organizers Lisa Jewett and Lacey Lemaire.up all night preparing.MAY 13 - OCTOBER 7 IN ITS 30™ YEAR, OUR FRIENDLY MARKET ON ACADEMY & CURLEY STREETS FEATURES MAPLE PRODUCTS, GLASSWARE, JEWELLERY, BAKED GOODS, AVON, CRAFTS & SUPPLIES, TOOLS, A CANTINE PLUS MANY OTHER VENDORS.EVERYONE WELCOME SATURDAYS 8 A.M.- 3 P.M.INFORMATION: (450) 372-2176 Conseil de la vallée de Sutton Valley Council André Harbec Conseiller financier Financial advisor Merrill Lynch “Û am the madiea jaie;
