in-ground, above-ground or removable - that are designed to hold 36 inches of water or more, require a town permit.The permit costs $45.The property owner is then assessed an annual flat tax for having a pool.The municipal tax for a swimming pool is $105, according to the 2013 tax assessment roll.\u201cIf a property owner no longer has a 165 rue de 450 263-8888 Cell: 450 777-6323 Jean-Frangois Levesque ventes@cowansville.toyota.ca Direct 450-263-6855 \\ Sales Manager New and used vehicles £Y Tim Dubois \\ Sales Representative 403 rue de la Rivière 450 263-6000 Celt: 450 578-1148 www.kiacowansville.com tdubois@kiacowansville.com al \u2018a D KA SALLE 2) Tax-free pool in TBL Councillor Gagné says pool tax doesn\u2019t apply to him FILE PHOTO Councillor Donald Gagné.pool, or if the pool is to be demolished, the town has to be advised of the demolition in order that the immoveable is removed from the roll by our assessor,\u201d added Lafrenière.\u201cThe pool owner should have come in and applied for a permit from the Building Inspector (cost of $40).\u201d Lafrenière also said that once the demolition permit is issued, the town assessor is formally advised and the pool is By Frank Nixon e status of Jean Bourret, as direc- | tor general of the Town of Brome Lake, continues to remain in a state of controversy and confusion.On May 21, Bourret returned to work as he said he would, after being on sick leave for over a year - since April 30, 2012.However, his first day at work was brief.He arrived at town hall at 8 a.m.and left some 40 minutes later.He has not returned to work since then.Mayor Gilles Decelles said Bourret needs to provide town hall with a second TIQUE ELPA COURTESY Tax free pool.removed from the assessment roll.The property owner then receives a credit for the pool tax and the assessed value of the property is adjusted to reflect the fact that the pool is no longer there to be taxed.The town was supposed to conduct an inventory of all residential pools in early medical opinion.\u201cHe [Bourret] will need to obtain another medical certificate from another doctor certifying that he is fit to return to work,\u201d said Decelles.\u201cThis should only take a few days at most and while he is away he will continue to receive his salary.\u201d On May 23, Decelles was tight-lipped when asked what will happen next should Bourret produce the required second medical opinion stating that he is fit to return to work.The mayor would only say that town hall is handling Bour- ret\u2019s status as a \u201chuman resources file.\u201d \u201cThis is a human resources file that SIZES 5 to 11 May, as announced at the regular council meeting in March.However, at the last council meeting on May 6, it was pushed to June.\u201cThe matter was discussed at the council work session,\u201d said Lafreniére on May 17.\u201cWe will proceed to conduct an inventory of pools.\u201d Status of Jean Bourret in a state of controversy DG told he needs to produce another medical certificate has to be handled to the end in confidentiality,\u201d said Decelles.\u201cYou [Brome County News| will be among the first informed after council and the employees.\u201d * La Voix de L\u2019Est article In an article that appeared in the Voix de L\u2019Est on May 24, Bourret appeared to turn the mayor\u2019s plans upside down.Bourret said, in part, that he is ready to return to work, having already received the \u201cgreen light\u201d from his doctor.He also wants a meeting with the CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 7 Ea WIDTHS AA to EEE PAGE 2 TUESDAY, May 28, 2013 Brome County NEws Brome County Community Bulletin Board June 1 Annual Knowlton Harmony Band concert: 7 pm at Knowlton United Church, Knowlton Road.Special guests will be the Knowlton Academy Lunch Time Choir under the direction of Josee Bourbeau and Lucy Hoblyn.Tickets from members and at the door.Refreshments Will be served at intermission.Free transportation available for seniors -

in May and July of 2012.However, the proposals were turned down, in part, because, Se es CONT'D FROM PAGE 2 COWANSVILLE COMMUNITY BAPTIST CHURCH \u201cthey did not conform to the new municipal regulations,\u201d said Councillor Jean Carriére of St-Etienne-de-Bolton.Mount Foster was acquired by Fernand Barsalou of Domaine Mont Foster, in January 2007 and in May 2007, from previous owners Lawlor Wakem and Peter White.Following the land acquisitions, the council of West Bolton issued road construction permits to Barsalou for some 2.1 kilometres of new roads, which included town permits approved on April 28, 2008 and October 2, 2008.\u201cUnless the council of West Bolton tries again to allow the building of new roads in our municipality \u2014- despite all the decisions forbidding this - there will be no more housing developments here,\u201d said Paul Geoffrion of Citizens for a Rural West Bolton, an advocacy group formed, in part, to oppose the housing development on Mount Foster.\u201cDozens of people showed up at the MRC meeting,\u201d added Geoffrion.\u201cTheir presence and support to the arguments presented have sent a clear message to the mayors of the MRC and especially to that of West Bolton, Donald Badger: we ==ROWE Proposée sur le sentier ~\u2014\u2014ROutes deja construites all want to live in a rural, quiet and green community.\u201d \u2018 COURTESY The original plans by the developer consisted of 35 to 40 lots in West Bolton and some 22 Mount Foster is 713 metres high and lots in the neighbouring municipality of St.-Etienne-de-Bolton where houses could eventually covers some 700 acres.be built.Pet of the week \u2014 Jules ello, hello from a happy, good- q He gentle, easy-going guy!

28, 2013 LETTERS Brome County News \u2014 Charbonneau Commission i in Knowlton DEAR EDITOR: \u2018ve noticed that many people like myself who occasionally read the Brome County News and Tempo are now anxious for the latest edition to read the ongoing miniseries on town news.Our own little Charbon- neau Commission with all the drama of the real McCoy.Suddenly the town is abuzz with renewed interest in the politics of Lac Brome.The main characters being the mayor and DG followed by city councillors, and a few employees.Scandals, we have a few of those also.Because of his position, Gilles is really the main character.I have known him for a number of years, mostly through mutual friends and having \" played hockey with him.I am not a close friend but a good acquaintance and thus preface my opinion by explaining my relationship.Most of us know that Gilles was a very successful businessman and president of Bouchons Mac.Through persistence and hard work he did well for himself, the company and employees and after many long years decided to call it quits and retired.It\u2019s obvious from the start that Gilles Decelles as mayor did not want to go along with the old way of doing things.He disagreed with the system in place, and decided to make changes.He took charge as mayor and ran council like he ran his company.Unfortunately when you make changes, you sometimes step on some toes in well-worn shoes.No one likes changes, and the bigger the changes, the stronger the resistance.Depending on whose perspective you believe, his detractors find he doesn\u2019t mind his own business, asks too many questions, and seems to be a shit-disturber.Stubborn is another of his supposed traits.This one I may be inclined to believe, but you do need a certain amount of perseverance or stubbornness to succeed.Doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s always right, but you need persistence.Like the Charbonneau Commission, we read and listen, but don\u2019t really know who is telling the inside story on Bel Canto, Mr.Bourret and many other contentious issues.Those that do, have a very strong and often biased or personal reason for their stance.We are swayed by what we hear and read, but don\u2019t really know.The question really is whether we agree with the way Gilles Decelles is running the show.That he is too nosey, doesn\u2019t listen and does things his own way may all be true as I am far removed from what goes on in the corridors of city hall.However, I find it hard to believe that he was able to run a very successful business, where you need to listen and ask questions, cultivate agreement and motivate staff, and suddenly stop applying those same methods as soon as he became mayor.It\u2019s possible, I just find it unusual.However, if Gilles is really too nosey, or digs too deep to save money and find waste, then that is exactly what [ want in our mayor.Ask all the questions you want, and then some.The problem is not asking too many, but not asking enough: Hello Montreal, hello Mayor Tremblay.My worry is that the mayor is fed up with all the B.S.and lack of support and decides to go back to retire ment.I worry because there will be a power vacuum, and I don\u2019t believe going back to the past is the solution.I believe that the direction he has set for the town is a better solution, but am aware that not everyone is in agreement.However, from what I'm able to discern, he is a very capable and efficient mayor though maybe lacking as a politician.He\u2019s not a schmoozer.Just what we need in a mayor, I believe.I think that we have a lot of capable and concerned councillors who are also interested in making our town better and there are signs that resistance of the minority is giving way to acceptance and cooperation.The changes are working.I write this letter simply to show support to the type of administration that Gilles Decelles is trying to implement and hope that he carries on.ELIO VETTESE West Bolton council did not promote new road TO THE EDITOR: held May 21, 2013, a resident of West olton accused our municipal council of \u201cpushing for new roads in the municipality.\u201d Let me clarify some facts.À request made by Domaine Mont Foster to put in a road connecting Summit and Paramount roads is in direct contravention of the MRC\u2019s RCI 04-0912.West Bolton council did not promote this proposed road and we were surprised to find ourselves accused of doing so.The developer applied directly to the MRC to amend the above-mentioned RCI.A tthe regional council of mayors (MRC) On May 14, 2013, the MRC\u2019 s land use planning committee, of which I am a member, recommended that the council of mayors refuse the developer\u2019s request.A week later, the mayors of the MRC confirmed this in a unanimous vote, as witnessed by a number of concerned West Bolton citizens.The citizens of West Bolton deserve clear and verifiable information about events and issues that affect all of us, not misinformation supplied by particular interest groups.As a reflection of council\u2019s commitment to keep citizens informed, we invite you to Visit our new website at www.municipalit-

throughout the Townships time of year, with families flocking to find fresh foods from a variety of local growers.But for many families with picky eaters, the promise of fresh produce is less than thrilling.Parents are often challenged to find quick, easy and tasty ways to incorporate vegetables into everyday meals the whole family will enjoy.\u201cFor today\u2019s families sitting down together for dinner can be one of the greatest challenges, never mind trying to find i Finest markets are thriving this nutritious and delicious meals,\u201d explains Linda Woolsey VP Research and

Ase per cent of our nation\u2019s chil- ren consume the recommended three or more servings of vegetables daily.With this in mind, ET TU Salad Kits - champions of kids eating more vegetables - asked Canadian moms to share the creative ways they get their kids to eat more greens.Below are some fun tips to help turn these statistics around.Get them invoived Engage your kids in the kitchen.Ask them to pick out two or three different - types of vegetables they have never tried before.Have them help prepare healthy snacks for the entire family or even ask them to help you make a complete meal.Getting them involved in the cooking process can help them take pride in their creations, as well as appreciate what they're eating, and hopefully change their attitudes towards vegetables.Dress up the taste Kids are sensitive to bitter and bland tastes.Try taming certain vegetables they find unappealing with sauces and dips.At your next dinner, try an ET TU Original Caesar Salad Kit - a Canadian favourite among parents and children.ET TU makes spicing up vegetables easy for busy moms, but tasty for picky eaters.\u201cAs a mom of two, I know how hard it can be to get kids to eat their vegetables,\u201d explains Linda Woolsey, VP Research and Development at ET TU.\u201cBut whenever we serve Caesar salad, there's never any argument.And there\u2019s never any left.\u201d : Play with your food Try incorporating a variety of colours and shapes into your next meal.For example, use cookie cutters to turn your kids\u2019 vegetables into fun shapes, or try making faces and pictures using the vegetables on their plate.Presenting vegetables in a more appealing way may encourage your child to enjoy them.BROME COUNTY NEWS TUESDAY, MAY 28, 2013 « PAGE 5 Have you tried our Upon
