these cuts flatten the middle surface of the cornea, correcting the myopia.1.The number of incisions varies from 4 to 8.2.The central area must be left intact.3.Incisions must be uniform and reach 90 per cent to 95 per cent of the cornea’s thickness.This can be accomplished thanks to highly precise instruments.An ultrasound probe is used to measure the cornea’s thickness exactly and the incisions are then made by means of a knife with an extremely sharp diamond blade.The depth of the incision is adjusted with a micrometre screw.Follow our columns entitled My Eyes to learn more about refractive

your next garden By James Walters (AP) Mother Nature’s growth-regulating system helps same-type vegetables ripen about the same time.So if you don’t want everything ready together, space the planting time.Precise dates for planting seeds or setting out transplants will vary with your climate and what you’re growing, but the days from planting to harvest will be about the same everywhere for a particular variety.Now is a good time to make the calculations in planning your next garden.Beets, for example, take about 60 to 90 days from sowing to first picking.Thus, if you plant a third of the seed packet at the recommended time, another third 20 days later and the final portion after another 20 days, the harvest will be extended by that time frame.And once some are ready, others will be every 20 days.Successive planting is especially effective with crops such as beets, lettuce, green onions, carrots and radishes but it’s worth the trouble with just about everything, even flowers.Divide the seed packet by four or five, or even in half, if this works better for your purposes.RENTALS • SALES • SERVICE Guitars • Amplifiers • Sound & Lighting Systems for your parties Aeowstlx Québec 4 ( Residential/Commercial —««« 2015 Rte 104, Famham J2N 2P9 (514) 293*3295 Since taste is probably the best reason, if not the only one, to grow vegetables at home, harvest over a long period is a big plus.It does require some planning based on knowledge of how vegetables ripen.But understanding the process is not difficult.First, many vegetables have early, middle and late-season varieties.Tomatoes are notable examples, and most catalogs and nurseries list them for sale that way.The general guidelines will be in reference books.More precise information for a specific variety will be included in the seed catalogs or on the seed packet or transplant labels.Look for things like “ready to harvest in about 50 days” or “ready to pick about 70 days after setting out transplants.” Be sure to select varieties adapted and recommended for your region and keep within the recommended range for soil moisture and temperature.One caution: sellers routinely tend to be overly optimistic.So add about a week to the catalogue, packet or label estimates.Then allow for some plants of the same variety to mature later or before others.The nearest co-operative extension office or university agricultural department will have authoritative information.In my garden, green onions for eating (scallions) and green peppers or tomatoes provide an example of a simple crop rotation.In season, scallions develop from onion sets in a few weeks (seeds also work well).r +55 Driver.get a break! 263-2787 TAM1€R ft ASSURANCES - INSURANCE l Brome County Newsy 88 Lakeside

Waterloo BROME COUNTY NEWS—Wednesday, January 10, 1998—3 Family-oriented firm a low-cost method of destroying documents Waterloo business a cut above the rest By Sharon McCully WATERLOO — A former part-time industrial commissioner for the town of Waterloo has inaugurated a new business in his home town that has employees cheering every cut.Papier Depot Inc.is the brainchild of Marc Beaudoin, whose research led him to believe there is a living to be made snipping other people’s private documents and correspondence.“I got the idea in November, 1993, and I’ve been working on it since that time,” said Beaudoin as he cut a ceremonial ribbon at the new paper-cutting operation.Unlike most industrial inaugurations, this one highlighted the family ties of the new employees, including Beaudoin’s wife and six children and the families of all five of his new employees.Beaudoin said what makes his business unique is that all workers will have an opportunity to obtain shares in the company.“We are very much a family-oriented operation,” he said.The former industrial commissioner and company director said his experience in business has taught him it takes more than a good idea to be successful.“It takes cash and commitment and I was fortunate to find 30 investors who believed in my idea,” he said.Among them is his father Maurice, who came out of retirement to help get his son’s half-a-million-dollar investment off the ground.Beaudoin said what he is able to offer clients is the knowledge their confidential documents will be destroyed quickly and efficiently.Confidential papers are picked up in sealed containers and transported to the Waterloo plant by a truck equipped with a closed circuit camera.“We provide clients with the guarantee their documents have been picked up, delivered and destroyed in a secure manner,” Beaudoin explained.“We even furnish them with the video cassette.” Beaudoin hopes to tap the Montreal market by offering a service that is competively priced and personalized.To build a client base, he has developed Marc Beaudoin surrounded by his wife and six children at the inauguration of his new business.his own telemarketing program with prepared questions and responses.He said what would normally take an employee three hours to shred can be done by the high-powered machines in his shop in 40 seconds.“When the client realizes the savings, I’m confident they will be interested,” Beaudoin said, adding that lower business taxes, lower overhead and lower salaries will allow the new company to offer clients a lower price for better service.He also boasted that the machines in his new shop are two to seven times more productive than the competitors.He hopes that will put Papier Depot a cut above the rest.WEDDING PHOTOS WANTED!

I’m convinced more male bonding takes place under the hood of a car when it’s 30 below than in the nation’s living rooms during New Year’s football.Everywhere you looked last week, men with ice crystals forming on their eyelids were huddled in parking lots and driveways attaching mechanical umbilical cords to dead batteries.It’s not that women don’t know how to join a set of booster cables to the positive and negative polls on a battery.But most women will give it three tries max, then call the garage, while men seem to draw a parallel between charging a battery and confirming something more important.Not that I’m ungrateful for the effort, mind you.I was more than a little relieved when several men in the neighborhood devoted an entire day to helping my husband nurse my chronically ill battery back to life.But it took some doing.First they had to repair the extension cord that was severed several months ago by the lawnmower.(We had some indication it might be damaged — but we wrote it off as flashing Christmas tree lights along the ground).Out of the Brome Closet By Sharon McCully.At any rate, minus 30 seemed an appropriate time to haul out the electrical tape.Then they decided to replace the plug dangling from the six-inch cord — a daunting task for numb fingers.Finally, it was time for the big test.The key was turned and it was hard to tell if the muffled groan came from the men freezing under the hood or the withered battery.Two hours later, when the cables began to smoke, the men succumbed to defeat and called the garage.Thirty seconds later, the car started.Granted, nobody wants to hand over $25 for a job you think you can do yourself.Lesson learned?Nope.Next day, same problem, same attempt to solve it.Several hours later, the mechanic returned, somewhat disgruntled that his advice from the previous day had been ignored.I now have a new battery.But there must be some indoor alternative to allow the men in the neighborhood to get together during the winter.Reading is Fundamental Tell your child interesting stories.Make them up or let your child tell a story of his own DCNIS I’D It A DIS, m.p.Brome-Missisquoi Room 551, Confederation Building House of Commons Ottawa (Ontario) K1A0A6 (613) 947-8185 HOUSE OF COMMONS 104 South Street Suite 100B Cowansville (Quebec) J2K 2X2 (514) 266-6062 Bonne Année 1996 Je viens de rentrer d'une promenade en raquettes le long de la rivière.La pleine lune brillait sur la neige abondante et malgré le froid intense je me sentais partie du paysage.Je pensais à la nouvelle année qui commence et au fait qu'il ne reste que quatre ans avant l'arrivée du prochain centenaire et du nouveau millénaire.Imaginez l'an 2000!!!

NEWS—Wednesday, January 10, 1096 Author offers advice on how to salvage lazy kids By Marlene Orton OTTAWA (CP) — The report card is lousy, school marks are down again and the homework is never done on time.Problem is, this is one smart kid.Teachers know it.Parents know it.If this picture looks familiar, parents should get ready to do some serious homework of their own.Sometimes smart students get lost and parents don’t know how to find them, says psychologist Harvey Man-del, who has spent years teaching teachers and parents how to reclaim lost souls with bright minds.“We’re talking about kids who are stuck and it’s a matter of getting them unstuck,” says Mandel, a university professor and author.Some have too little spark to care about flunking.Others use their smarts to sell drugs or work other scams.The most difficult ones know how to rattle everyone’s chains.Parents and teachers have distinct responsibilities in saving these students, Mandel said during an interview about his latest book.Could Do Better: Why Children Underachieve and What do to Do About It (Harper Collins) is a definitive guide to recognizing and rescuing students who are squandering their talents.“Without a sense of vision, a student can be easily distracted and manipulated,” Mandel says.Lost kids are looking for their dreams — “downtown, in the malls, on television.” How to spot them?— School marks drop significantly.— The drop hits all or most subjects.— The drop occurs over more than one year.— Evidence from teachers and elsewhere show the child can easily do the work.JANUARY Friendship month % No

barely passing, and they are working, they are not underachieving kids,” Mandel adds.Underachievers can be divided into six groups: Coasters, uptights, identity-seekers, wheeler-dealers, the depressed and the defiant all share a common trait.“They don’t do their work.So from outside looking in, it looks like they’re lazy or unmotivated or they all procrastinate.They all do.They don’t organize well, they don’t plan well, they don’t follow through.” Only the coasters have bad work habits.The others have baggage dragging them down.Mandel issues cautions throughout.“One of the dangers in the book is the issue of becoming a professional overnight,” he warns.“The book does get people to think about things.But be careful.” How to handle underachievers Bright teens who lack vision and commitment can easily get lost and distracted.These are underachievers.Some insight from psychologist Harvey Mandel: — If your child is bright but isn’t getting school work or chores done, don’t assume laziness.“The minute you label the kid as lazy or unmotivated, you literally slam the door on what may be really going on.” — Ask questions.When did this start?How long have these habits been going on?— What have you tried to help or change the situation?If it hasn’t worked, take a closer look.For exam- ple: Is the child anxious, sad or a manipulator?Is the child comfortable with what is happening at home or at school?— Expect youths to get stuck at certain points along their journey.“What got them unstuck last time may not work exactly the same way later and therefore reading about all these different types might give you some hints about helping now and even in the future.” — If attitude is a problem, focus strictly on the child’s behavior.“Teenagers are the most incredible group because they all want to be different but they all want to look the same.” Reason’s (greetings Picken s Farm Equipment Inc.*24,000 50 H.P.Zetor 4 wheel drive with loader, pP** 2 year warranty - 34 Nord Waterloo Tel :
