competition this summer Granby juggler nominated for YTV award By Sharon McCully GRANBY — A young Granby boy has juggled his way to a top spot in a national competition for young achievers, sponsored by the youth television network YTV.Fourteen-year-old Emile Carey was selected from 1500 young Canadian super teens to be among the 185 finalists in 14 categories for the annual YTV achievement awards.In an interview this week, the young juggler said his interest in the art was piqued while watching street performers in Quebec City defy gravity by tossing balls and pins into the air in perfect sync.“I tried to juggle using everything,” he said.“At first I’d use baseballs or anything at all to get the rhythm, then I graduated to better materials.” When he was 11, Carey sat spellbound during a visit to La Cirque de Soleil and decided he wanted to learn the tricks of the trade.With the support of his parents, Carey joined a Montreal association of jugglers and began mastering the mechanics of juggling in earnest.It was there he learned of the International Jugglers Association (IJA), a United States-based association which stages competitions across Europe and North America to find the creme de la creme.‘BIG EVENT’ This summer, Carey will compete in his first international juggling competition staged by the IJA in Rapid City, South Dakota.“It’s a very big event for me because until now, I have only been in smaller competitions and I’ve performed in many shows, but never with international competitors,” he said.Although Carey is modest about his past performances, there aren’t many young teens who can claim to have entertained thousands at the Montreal Jazz festival, given performances at Complex Desjardins in Montreal and during St-Jean Baptiste celebrations, and be featured on two televised marathons for charitable causes.Carey currently attends the special Cirque de Soleil school in Montreal which combines academic programs with performance training.In addition to his schooling, Carey works with his coach and trainer Sylvain Duchesne three hours a week.“I practise juggling about an hour a day every day,” he said, “and on the weekend, about 10-12 hours.” HARD AND FUN Carey said juggling is both hard and fun.“Learning new things is always hard, but it’s fun when you can accomplish something new.” The youngster said he’s already mastered the five-ball toss — which he can do indefinitely — and the five-pin toss, which includes variations like spinning the pins under his leg.His challenge is adding two more balls and two more pins to his routine.“Watch carefully because I can’t do it for a long time,” he said as he keeps seven balls in perfect rotation in the air.Carey said his dream is to travel the world as a juggler.“Juggling is very big in Europe.There are a lot of competitions all over Europe and even Russia,” he said, adding he has already studied the map.Carey said he is honored to have been selected one of the 1500 nominees for the annual YTV achievement awards.Of the 185 finalists, 40 are from Quebec.One winner in each category will be selected from across Canada.The winner and a guardian will be flown to Toronto for one week to receive the award during a live television broadcast in April.YTV takes the giants of the kids world and gives them proper national recognition for their amazing achievements.Winners are chosen in the categories of acting, band, bravery, dance, entreprenneurship, innovation, instrumental, public service, specialty performance, sports, the Terry Fox award, visual arts, vocal and writing.On top of the recognition, a trophy, and a week’s stay in Toronto, winners receive $3000.Emile Carey is among 185 finalists in 14 categories.Finalists are also rewarded with a slew of gifts, including the possibility of being called back to appear on shows like The Breakfast Zone, It’s Alive or YTV News.Carey said although juggling is an important part of his life, he wants to go to college and possibly university to ensure his future.“I don’t want to put all my eggs in one basket,” the juggler said with a mischievous grin.The YTV Achievement Awards will be nationally televised on the YTV network on Sunday, April 28 from 7-9 p.m.gfw- ïe.1: n uo 20 yrs experience INSTALLATION R6PAIAS PR6-UJIRING MAINT€NANCe PLAN >s/l N ’ r.P DontpayB«ll'shighprices.CaII

Eleven district Grade 4-5 students explained why it’s better to view the glass half-full, addressing the topic “Optimism, the key to success”, during a regional speak-off held at Butler Elementary School last Thursday.The students gave a number of reasons for staying on the sunny side and cited achievements by those who have.Judges selected Genevieve Baker, a Grade 5 stu- THE EXERCISE SHOPPE 54A Principale N.(comer Western), Sutton, Que.538-5333 LOSE INCHES • TONE MUSCLES RELAX ON TABLES The only things missing from our exercise program are stress, strain, pain and fatigue.FREE 1st Session dent at Butler Elementary, as top orator in her level and Sarah Ingram Morris, a Grade 4 student at Heroes Memorial, as best speaker in her class.DOMAINE BEAUX RÊVES INC, IN DUNHAM MASKA ST.7 magnificent lots 100 x 170 ft.with sewer system FOR SALE 125 Maeka FUTURE Dunham.Qc HOME JOE 1M0 DEVELOPMENT (514) 295-2719 Domaine Beaux ttwei Sue.Other lots also available Ask about them today.$500 per session / s50/month About 1-1/2 hours/session 7 machines 125 Maska, Dunham 295-2719 Info.: Maurice Piette panies all offered this glass as premiums.Even the theaters had a night each wee week in which you received a pretty dish with each ticket.Only a fraction of the huge amount of depression glass produced during those lean years survived.The glass was thin and broke easily.As years saw renewed prosperity, many threw their depression glass away, perhaps thinking they were a reminder of those grim, grey days they were struggling to put behind them.Six major companies in the United States produced the majority of the glass we call depression glass today.They were the Federal Glass Co., the Hazel Atlas Glass Company, the Hocking Glass Company, the Indianna Glass Company, the Jeanette Glass Company and the Macbeth-Evans Glass Company.This glass was made in over 25 different colors, the most common being pink, green, amber, yellow, blue and crystal.The majority of depression glass is very affordable but then you have the distinct pieces in some patterns that demand fantastic prices for their rarity.A few of these rare pieces are footed salt and pepper shakers in the Mayfair “open rose” pattern in pink, listing at $5000: the sandwich server with the center handle in Cameo “ballerina” pattern in green, listing at $3250; the gravy boat and platter in Madrid pattern in amber, listing at $1050.These prices are exceptional for exceptional pieces.The milieu is generally less than $100, with scads available for under $20.It is not likely that you have any of these pieces in your kitchen cupboard, but if you do, hey, you know who to call.C.K.’s INCOME TAX SERVICE • Income Tax Preporotion • Book-keeping • Payroll • Typing • Photocopy service • Phone answering service Oilinguol & Confidential Individual Income Tax returns Self-employed Small businesses forms From Feb.- April 30/96 for every $30.00 earned, $1.00 will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society.512 KNOWLTON RD.KNOWLTON 243-6324 _______________Carol Krainyk | Canada Pension Plan Public Consultations For information, call the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Consultations Secretariat at 1-800-358-5742 TDD: 1-800-465-7735 True to the law of supply and demand, the popularity of depression glass is increasing and the availability is decreasing, therefore the value is bound to go up.As I always say, buying antiques is your way of preserving your heritage, helping to preserve the environment and recycling.CELLULAR TELEPHONE USERS - YOUR CALL COULD MAKE THE DIFFERENCE Mobile Watch I Canada Safety Council Tel.(613) 739-1535 Fax: (613) 739-1566 Maximum Coverage Lease!

I quote, “Located in the heart of Sutton, it is easily accessible by one and everyone.” May I differ with this assessment, nothing has been done for easy access for the disabled.There is one door that is kept locked and the other entry way is downright impossible in the winter months when books are most needed.My taxes helped pay for this building but being disabled, I am unable to use the library.This is a fact! Linda E.Morris Sutton Knowlton more civilized What a difference in the civilized way the Town of Knowlton is treating its citizens compared to Cowansville! For three days in October, Knowlton will host an International Duck Fest in conjunction with a French city, Gascogne.But what is more amazing is the assurance given by Mr.Jacques Oui-mette that, and I quote, “There will be no amplified music, it will be more like chamber music”.Here in Cowansville, we do things differently.We will also have a Festival of Music in July.For 13 days, a stage will be erected near (almost in its cour- tyard) a hospital for old aged people (CHSLD) where heavy metal rock concerts (2,000 decibels) will be held during evenings.The reason given by our Town councillors for choosing such a spot and mentally torturing the sick, old aged people hospitalized there is, “They do not complain”.Mr.Ouimette is to be congratulated for the care he is showing towards the citizens of Knowlton and also the Town of Knowlton.Yvon Landry Cowansville tic theory and this, in turn, led on to a general interest in the history of communications.On stumbling across Fessenden’s original idea to radiate an A.M.modulated signal without the use of vacuum tubes I was filled with awe and wonder.I have been a fan of Fessenden ever since.Unfortunately I suffered a bad head injury which ended the academic career, and which makes it a little difficult to get out.I have set up a full laboratory in my home, and design radiotelemetry systems to live.If conditions were normal, I would jump on a plane and visit all the Fessenden sites, especially Brant Rock.Although Marconi was notin the same class as Fessenden, it should be a fairly simple matter to get from Brant Rock to the site of Marconi’s large spark transmitter at Glace Bay in Nova Scotia.I have been writing to the A.B.C.here trying to get them to make programs on the early history of communications, and especially one about Fessenden: but they are not interested — probably because there is no multicultural or feminist angle to be exploited! The last letter is still on the hard disc.While it is mainly about the history of recording, I will include a copy in this letter — it may be of some little interest to you, since I did manage a mention of Fessenden in it.Since I could not move the A.B.C.I wrote to Kim Elliott of V.O.A.suggesting that they do a programme on Fessenden.This letter may have been partly responsible for the program which featured your interview.A further excellent program on Fessenden was given by a Canadian, Ian McFarland, on Radio Japan on 24/12/95.I have written to N.H.K.to r.Auto alarm = lower premiums! 263-2787 a\ TflnncRft ASSURANCES - INSURANCE J Surgery for the correction of MYOPIA and ASTIGMATISM Dr.Guy Doyon M.D.f.R.CS.(C) VIS.C.Ophthalmologist (819) 346-2727 or 1-800-346-9389 2727 King St.West, Suite 100 Sherbrooke, Que., J1L 1C2 ask for McFarland’s address, hoping that I may learn more by correspondence with him.It is indeed ironic that, because of the economic situation in Canada, Radio Canada International is closing down, and that the programe n Fessenden was not radiated by the country which started broadcasting but by Radio Japan! This brings me to the point of this letter: (a) To thank you for a most interesting interview, and (b) To enquire where I might find out more about Fessenden — both personal and technical.The technician who builds the prototype of my designs is married to an American who spends considerable time on the internet.Now anyone who spends any time around me will eventually get to hear of Fessenden.A couple of weeks ago she saw the name on the internet and it rang a bell.It turned out that Terry Skeats of the John Bassett Memorial Library, Bishop’s University, Lennoxville, is writing a book about the Fessenden family and the great Fessenden scandal — whatever that it.Thanks, once again for the interview.It is safely filed away on tape.With kindest regards, Brian Magee Australia

medications?A: Drugs are used to aid and maintain good health.Your pharmacist suggests to: • take the medication as long as the doctor orders.Although symptoms may subside that doesn't mean that the problem is gone.You must take the full prescription to ensure maximum effectiveness.• follow the directions prescribed by your doctor concerning dosage.Certain drugs can be dangerous if you take more than prescribed.• never take outdated medications.Outdated drugs may have lost their effectiveness and can be dangerous; a person's state of health may have changed since the drug had been prescribed.• never mix medications.You must remember that remedies for headaches, colds or allergies can provoke reactions if combined with certain drugs.• consult your pharmacist as often as necessary.Finally, you must remember that the pharmacist is a drug specialist.Consulting him before will help you put all the chances on your side so that prescribed medications completely fulfill their role.OBONSOINS Pierre Marziali 408 Sud Street, Cowansville 263-2171 By: François Blaney Q: How do I know if I'mgettingthe most for my money when I buyl a computer?A: There are as many sales people as there are types of computers in Quebec.Everyone calls themselves professionals with affirmations of equal quality.Thus the beginning of price wars.Their weapons, their own individual brands.When they compete with the same product, the consumer must compare the “Price of Quality”.The majority of merchants cannot ignore the composition of their computer.It must fit the “criteria” in which all products are compared and be compatible with IBM, IBM being the brand by which all systems are judged.Equally we must confirm that the brand is pre-tested before it is put on the market and functions with the majority of commercial software.For example, withthe new Windows 95 software from Microsoft, many of the components, otherthan reputable brands, don't function attheirfullcapacity.Often these well known brands cost more but the cost is worth it, especially those concerning multimedia and the endless supply of games on the market.In conclusion, when you decide to buy comparing the same brands will give you the best in performance and price.•Jhlaney ^INFORMATIQUE François Blaney, president YOUR PROVINCIAL DISTRIBUTOR 1457 South Street, Cowansville

Q: How much can you afford to contribute to an RRSP?I will only have $3,000 for my RRSP contribution and I could contribute $6,000.Should I borrow?A: As a general rule, it is in your best interest to make the maximum allowable contribution to your RRSP, even if you have to borrow to do so.The following formula will help you to calculate what you should borrow based on the amount of cash you have available.Available cash $3,000 100 - (Your marginal tax rate)* 100 - 50% For instance if you have $3,000 in available cash and your marginal rate of taxation is 50% you could contribute six thousand dollars, $6,000 to your RRSP by borrowing an additional $3,000.The $3,000tax refund that you would receive, as a result of the RRSP contribution is then used to pay back the loan.Interest on a loan taken to make an RRSP contribution is not tax-deductable, but the RRSP's other advantages will generally, more than compensate for the interest charges.* For more information on how to calculate your rate of taxation contact your accountant or feel free to call me.It you have any questions you'd like answered you can write or call Johanne Coiteux-Neil at: UVCSQUC 150 St-Jacques, Bureau 202
