Now that I'm fully equipped, I'm feeling a little nostalgic.I long for peace in the kitchen without the hum of motors.I used to be able to hear the pot bubbling on the stove before I smelled it, and listen to my grandmother chat\u2019 and chop at the same time.I got to cry chopping onions and take out my frustrations kneading bread or beating a cake.I could answer the phone and keep on stirring, or listen to a very long kid's story with all the \u2018and\u2019s.It was quieter then and I like to think many of the world\u2019s problems got solved in the kitchen.Well, pondered anyway.Still, it's nice not to have to beat fudge with a spoon.So, Mr.Braun, I've got a tip: install a mute button.And if you could, make something that rolls pie crust.Built-in dishwasher * 3 wash level Soft food dispenser * Heater dry on/off nEeUBLEUR AMEUBLEMENT FRIGON wc.602 South Street, Cowansville, Québec (5 1 4) 263-0747 Closed on Monday Petits animaux Le plaisir de voir mes petits compagnons félins au coin du feu et de partager ma maison avec eux me fait voir combien leur vie est douce et sans soucis.Quelle vie!

over the lunch hour between when 31 accidents were reported \u2014 and another 28 between one and three p.m.Twenty-five accidents occured between nine and 10 in the morning.Sunday proved to be the

Johnson, a long-time resident and sportsman in the area, says one of the primary causes for the proliferation of deer in Knowl- ton is city-slickers feeding them.Johnson said the deer have become domesticated and now come into residential areas to dine.He said farmers are selling corn and carrots to weekenders who enjoy watching the deer nibble, and apple growers are making up special \u201cdeer boxes\u201d.Johnson also corrected a false assumption that hunting is banned in nearby Bromont, noting there\u2019s been controlled hunting in Bromont for the past three years.He added that for the first time this year the government increased the number of doe licenses issued from some 700 to 1350.AUSTIN \u2014 An Austin man called to say a deer whistle attached to the car has saved him from hitting several deer.Flemming Jensen said he\u2019s never hit a deer though he\u2019s seen several scurry back into the ditch as his whistling car approached.\u201cIt works good,\u201d he said.KNOWLTON \u2014 The Knowlton business sector (SIDAC) will offer sleigh rides to visitors at no charge between Tuesday, December 26, and Saturday, December 30, from 1:30-3:30.Christmas carollers
