[" T uesday , September 4 , 2018 BromeCounty News Todd Chabot Courtier Immobilier Real Estate Broker Mob: 450.577.1737 Ph: 450.538.4000 todd.chabot@remax-quebec.com By Steve Blake The Town of Brome Lake has been in discussion with Bromont for two years about the its police force covering TBL.Mayor Richard Bur- combe said at a press conference Thursday, August 30, that it would save TBL about $400,000, roughly 20 per cent, compared to what it pays the Sureté du Quebec.The move would have to be authorized by Quebec\u2019s Minister of Public Security.Burcombe said he is hoping that the new MNA in Brome-Missisquoi will recognize the need for both communities to be served by the same police force.Current MNA Pierre Paradis is retiring.Burcombe said he doesn\u2019t criticize the SQ.\u201cThe quality of their work is not in question,\u201d he said.\u201cWe find that that the cost we pay is unacceptable in relation to the service we receive.\u201d Being covered by the Bromont police force would also increase service to TBL, Burcombe said, describing it as a \u201cwin- win situation for both cities.\u201d Bromont Mayor Louis Villeneuve agrees that it would save both municipalities money.\u201cWe have the opportunity to make substantial savings, control our expenses, while continuing to provide outstanding service to our citizens,\u201d he wrote in a recent press release.\u201cFor the people of Bromont, this is also excellent news.\u201d Burcombe said TBL is paying the SQ $1.8 million ($324 per capita) for services this year.A study shows that TBL pays 157 per cent more than the average cost paid by municipalities served by the SQ with a neighbouring police department.\u201cThe solution is right next door, in Bromont,\u201d he said.A press release from both municipalities pointed out that provincial law does not allow a community of less than 50,000 people to make changes.Therefore, the municipalities are looking for commitments from the MNA candidates that would lead to passage of a private bill.The proposal would meet the goals of intermunicipal agreements laid out by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Land Occupancy.Bromont\u2019s police department would have to expand, Chief Jean Bourgeois said in an interview after the press conference, but he declined to say how much.TBL had its own municipal police department until 2002, after which the town was served by the SQ.Bromont has had its police service since the town was founded in the 1960s.TBL hoping for police coverage from Bromont department Left to right: Bromont Police Chief Jean Bourgeois, Bromont Mayor Louis Villeneuve, and TBL Mayor Richard Burcombe TBL WEBSITE Optimists\u2019 Club preparing for 17th annual Walk for Women\u2019s Cancer By Steve Blake The Yamaska Valley Optimist Club has raised nearly $775,000 for the Brome-Missisquoi-Perkins Hospital Foundation over the past 16 years.The club will add to that total on Sunday, Sept.30 when it conducts its 17th annual Walk to End Women\u2019s Cancers in Knowlton.If the walk brings in its annual average it will raise the total to well over $800,000.The BMP Foundation uses the money to buy equipment for the prevention and treatment of women\u2019s cancers.The money raised this year will finance a diagnostic screen system of mammary imaging used in breast surgeries, and a pediatric coloscope for easier and safer examination of the colon, especially in CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 BromeCountyNews PAGE 2 T uesday , September 4, 2018 Brome County Community Bulletin Board September 5 Legion 99 Cowansville, 120 Blvd.Davignon.Cribbage season begins.Wednesday,  September 5.Registration at 6:30 p.m.  (450) 263-3543.  Everyone welcome!

DEAR EDITOR: BCN reporter, Louise Smith, has an interesting series currently in the Brome County News regarding local \u2018Town Logos\u201d.The Article in the July 17 issue discussed TBL\u2019s Logo (\u2018Seven Communities\u2019) The logo illustrated in the article (Logo #2) was introduced to residents in 2007 by then mayor Richard Wisdom as having been designed by an advertising agency.According to a note in TEMPO, the mayor was \u2018delighted with the result\u2019 which was chosen to replace the town\u2019s existing logo (Logo #1).To my knowledge, TBL residents were not involved in the design selection.( I recall being taken aback by the new logo at the time, thinking it brought to mind a \u2018convulsing octopus!\u2019) What is interesting now is that the old logo seems to be making a comeback.Page 5 of TBL\u2019s August 2018 newsletter shows Logo # 1 (where one might expect Logo #2) without comment.Also, I noticed that there are 2 signs welcoming visitors to the town from Auto route Exit 90, each featuring a different logo.It appears that the town is having second thoughts about the choice of the new logo.Perhaps involving some residents in the selection process might have been a good idea?Peter Wade, Foster small women, according to a press release from the Optimist Club.Lucy Davis, an occupational therapist at BMP Hospital, and Daniela Scherff, a cervical cancer survivor, are the honorary co-presidents of the walk this year.Scherff is walking in honour of her mother, also a cancer survivor.Scherff is grateful for early detection of her cervical cancer 10 years ago.She was diagnosed on Aug.8, 2008.\u201cIf the doctors hadn\u2019t caught it when they did, I would no longer be alive today,\u201d she said in a speech at a press conference last week.Her doctor suggested she undergo a complete hysterectomy, but Scherff was reluctant because, at age 30, she still wanted to bear children.The doctor explained that without a complete hysterectomy the risk of relapse would be high, and there would be a low chance of natural pregnancy.There would also be a 30 per cent chance of miscarriage if she did become pregnant.She had the surgery to remove her cervix on Sept.23, 2008.After a long period of recovery and several attempts to conceive, Scherff looked into surrogacy and was able to find someone to help.Scherff now has a daughter, and, she said, the surrogate has become part of the family.Scherff is celebrating her tenth year of survival, and she says she is looking forward to many more.\u201cThank you so much for donating whatever you can, no matter how little, it does make a difference,\u201d she said.\u201cWe need to find a cure so that someday, no one will have to face this ever again.Together, as women, we need to be strong for each other, support each other, but most importantly, you are never alone and there is always hope.\u201d Sponsors pay for the general costs of the Walk to End Women\u2019s Cancers, so every dollar earned goes to the BMP Foundation.Participants get donations from their friends and families.Awards will be given to individuals and corporate teams who raise the most money.Anyone wishing to walk can register online at www.fondationbmp.ca.Pledge forms can be downloaded and printed.They can also be found at Le Panier Champetre, Royal Lepage in Knowlton, Nettoyeur Houle, Jean Coutu Pharmacy in Cowansville, and Bromont Medical Clinic.On-site registration will take place from 8 a.m.until 9:15 a.m.on Sept.30 at the Brome Lake Community Centre.BromeCountyNews T

the Secondary One class.Everyone was smiling for day one and the school bags were overflowing with new school supplies.Most of the Kindergarten parents were there to personally wish their children a happy beginning to their new school life.Both mom and dad came out to wish Lily a great start to the school year.The happy face tells it all! A new school year has begun.On the first day of school, the school bags were overflowing with supplies.The new Kindergarten students were looking forward to the beginning of their new school life PHOTOS BY LOUISE SMITH BromeCountyNews T uesday , September 4, 2018 PAGE 5 Massey \u2013 Vanier\u2019s new start By Louise Smith On Wednesday, nearly 700 students started the new year at Massey-Vanier High School.There are one hundred students in the Secondary One class and four classes have been created for the students.In the hallways some students were searching for their lockers or the location of their first classes, but most seemed comfortable in the school setting.The Student Services area has moved into the Central Office space and the Central Office has moved into the former Student Services\u2019 space.Students are not only from the surrounding towns, but some are also foreign exchange students.Most are here for one year doing the Secondary Five (Grade 11) level.Yiran Xu is from China and she has been here for two months.Katerina Kucerova is from the Czech Republic and she had arrived five days before the starting of classes.Valentina De La Brena Rodriquez is from Mexico, and she had only been here for three days.But the most recent arrival was Merle Greta Jans from Germany who had arrived just two days before the start of the school year.There was a positive vibe about the building and hopefully that bodes well for a positive school year.Farnham started the year with a new school yard By Louise Smith Over the summer new school yard equipment was installed in the playground.The student reaction was perfect.By recess time the sand pit was full of diggers having the time of their lives.The new swings and the climbing apparatus were also greatly appreciated.A few more details will be added.On the pavement games will be painted.A few more things will be added to the yard.One thing that was very evident.All the students were moving.In a day and age where concern is being raised that this generation is too sedentary, it was wonderful to see everyone moving in the school yard.Back in class, the students were settling in to begin the new school year.Also settling back in, was Chris Morgan as the returning principal.Merle Greta Jans is from Germany, Katerina Kucerova is from the Czech Republic, Yiran Xu is from China, and Valentina De La Brena Rodriquez is from Mexico.Dylan was returning to the Home Base area where the new team of attendants were there to welcome him Everything was new and inviting in the Farnham school yard.Who wouldn't want to be digging in this huge sandbox area?PHOTOS BY LOUISE SMITH BromeCountyNews PAGE 6 T uesday , September 4, 2018 Lois Hardacker Courtier Immobilier Agréé / Chartered Real Estate Broker Submitted by the Knowlton Lions Club At a recent meeting, the members of the Knowlton Lions Club agreed to give a contribution of $3,000 to the Town of Brome Lake First Responder Service, to cover fuel expenses for their vehicles.  The First Responder Service has been in existence since March 2003.It is a vital service offered by Town of Brome Lake because it has already saved many lives through its interventions in emergencies with people in difficulty.  Since its creation the local Lions Club has been a regular supporter of the institution, notably contributing to the purchase of \u201cJaws of Life\u201d and of uniforms for the service, oxygen tanks and a defibrillator.WE, the dogs of the SPCA Montérégie, invite you to join us this Sunday Sept.9, for our Annual Dog Walk and fundraiser. For years and years, it has been held in St-Lambert, but this time it\u2019s at \u2018our place\u2019 - Yeah!

cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender, 22 to 25 minutes.Drain rice, transfer to parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet, and spread into even layer.Drizzle rice with lemon juice and let cool completely, about 15 minutes.Heat vegetable oil in 12-inch skillet over medi- um-high heat until shimmering.Add half of asparagus with tips pointed in 1 direction and remaining asparagus with tips pointed in opposite direction.Using tongs, arrange spears in even layer (they will not quite fit into single layer); cover and cook until bright green and still crisp, 2 to 5 minutes.Uncover, increase heat to high, season with salt and pepper, and continue to cook until tender and well browned on 1 side, 5 to 7 minutes, using tongs to occasionally move spears from centre to edge of pan to ensure all are browned.Transfer to plate and let cool completely.Cut into 1-inch pieces.Whisk olive oil, shallot, lemon zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in bowl.Transfer cooled rice to large bowl.Add asparagus, all but 2 tablespoons goat cheese, and dressing; toss to combine.Let stand for 10 minutes.Add 1/3 cup almonds and 3 tablespoons parsley; toss to combine.Season with salt and pepper to taste.Sprinkle with remaining almonds, reserved 2 tablespoons goat cheese, and remaining 1 tablespoon parsley;
