LA w PAGE 4 TUESDAY, AUGUST 29, 2017 LETTERS Brome County NEws Meat processing plant and vision for TBL DEAR MAYOR BURCOMBE: f all the possible projects to invig- (Oise the ailing economy of Lac Brome, none could be more damaging than the one your administration elected to support, Mr.Mayor.This meat processing plant is at odds with all the promotional efforts invested so far, particularly in the tourism sector.The newspapers said that you are thrilled by the project.Is it because your administration \u201csolved\u201d the water problem that you encourage one of the most polluting industries to come to town?Is your administration fully aware that meat processing requires humongous amounts of water?According to Condorchem, a US leader in slaughterhouse wastewater treatment, \u201cwaste- water is generated during almost all the processes involved as well as when cleaning the installations.The final volume produced is high and it has been estimated that around five litres of water is required per kilogram of body weight for the live animal.The wastewater generated generally carries with it slurries, meat remnants, blood, hair, pieces of entrails, and surface fat, which together mean that the water has a content of organic matter, material in suspension, oils and fats, nitrogen (ammonia and organic), phosphates, and detergents and disinfectants used during cleaning.\u201d Considering that the average hog weight 100 kg we are talking of 500 L for each hog carcasses.That is almost the equivalent of three Cascade 40 tanks per animal.Correct me if I am wrong.That is a lot of water and wastewater mind you.Who is going to pay for that?We as taxpayers already subsidize a couple of mega water consumers \u2014 do we need a third one?TBL already has a very poor record in respect to environmental issues, namely sewer overflow.Do you want to ruin our community\u2019s image for good with mismanaged waste- water making headlines in the papers?Everybody is in favour of economic development, but not at any cost.Do you have a vision for this town, Mr.Bur- combe or are you just being opportunistic, seizing the first coming project that may contribute to your fame?Do you and the council have a vision for our town?Do you seriously think this will bring jobs for TBL folks?Wages in the food industry are very meager, as you know.Whose interests are you serving exactly?As with the pool you present the project as if it were a done deal with only a few details to solve, Trump-like.When one thinks that you didn\u2019t even consider the possibility that a university establishes itself in Lac Brome, as offered by our federal MP, it makes me sad to see our once buoyant community losing ground.Can we talk about progress when we see Knowlton Rd.turn into a Taschereau Blvd?Years ago, the town adopted a bylaw concerning business signs to counter excessively commercial posting.May I submit that such bylaw should be reinforced instead of being relaxed?Where do we go Mr.Mayor?BTW, talking about vision, the town missed a great opportunity to implement its own bylaws by letting a couple new heat islands grow in the midst of the city.A couple extra trees and water retention basins for the parkings of the new drug store and gas station wouldn\u2019t hurt Mother Nature nor the landscape.Sutton is thriving without losing its soul, why is it we can\u2019 t do the same?Sad to say, but this highly functional council has delivered very little in the past four years.It invested most of its energy in a lame project, doomed from the beginning, sinking an undisclosed amount of money, to foster a pool project very few wanted despite your propaganda and fake surveys.On the tourism front, lots of fuss but nothing very tangible.A weak Canadian loony will probably bolster tourism more than any measures put forth so far.Otherwise, the town is getting into real estate, after missing a great opportunity to do something great by extending Douglass Beach.With the Beaudoin estate historically called Foster Park on Lakeside, it has ambitions for the surrounding of the now defunct Mill Pond.Still no dam in sight.and trees are growing in the middle of the pond.Let\u2019s not talk about the waterworks, which you postponed once more.Congratulations Mr.Mayor Burcombe.Your's truly, PHILIPPE RENDAK Knowlton SHARON McCuLLy PUBLISHER Brome

this past weekend, wants people to know that the club is offering a late summer, early autumn schedule to learn to row.Member of the board Gaetan Gelinas served as spokesperson for the club at its official launch.He praised coach Gavin McKay who had arrived in Knowlton from British Columbia two-and-a-half years ago with a dream to develop a rowing program designed to introduce young people to the sport and to bring them forward to an elite level.Heading to the end of e - ue.During the official launch of Aviron Knowlton Rowing this past been able to recruit 18 athletes, some who have already brought outstanding results including gold, silver, and bronze medals from the Canada Games.Mar- ilou Duvernay-Tardiff came home with the Dr.James A.Mc- Mullen Trophy from the prestigious North American Henley Regatta.McKay has also engaged widespread support from the community as well as the town\u2019s administration in order to establish an accredited club associated with the provincial and national rowing associations along with landing a permanent home for the program.Mayor Richard Burcombe told everyone that the town completely endorses the club\u2019s activities and assures that it has a place at Douglass Beach for many years to come.With a lifetime of competing in rowing competitions and serving as a national coach, McKay had scoped out many wa- S at urday at

to take advantage of the lake for recreational purposes, the club plans to offer a safe-practices component through a recognized \u201clearn to row\u201d program this fall.It consists of an eight-hour

about in 20 vears Barbara Bellingham Program Director Avante Women\u2019s Centre ore than two decades ago, six M omen sat at a kitchen table in Stanbridge East, discussing the needs of their friends and families, and the dilemma that there was no place in our community that English-speaking women could go to meet other women, share concerns, and get help with finding services.From this discussion, a plan was devised, and Avante Women\u2019s Centre was born.In 1997, we opened our doors, offering a welcoming and comfortable environment for women to break their isolation, have friendly, casual conversations and get an opportunity to learn more about what their options were.Now, 20 years later, we still offer the same services proudly, and much, much more.Starting with a handful of members and contacts, we have developed a bank of over 200 active members annually, and contacts reaching throughout Brome-Mis- sisquoi and beyond.We also act as a liaison between the English-speaking community and the public health care system, as well as many other community organizations, partnering regularly to promote programs and services in our area.So we have lots to be pleased about, and what better reason is there to celebrate than a 20th anniversary! This year we have marked some special dates and promotions, starting with a grand event at the Euro-Spa on Friday, October 13 at 6 p.m.It promises to be an evening filled with delight and fun and food.Meet and learn about the six creative women who got the ball rolling, our history, and how we got to be where we are today.Tickets are $15, available at the centre.Everyone is welcome, but you must reserve by September 22.Call 450-248- 0530 for more information.All summer, we have been quietly planning and scheming new and exciting changes to our fall programming, which we will be formally announcing at our fall \u201cKick Off\u201d on Wednesday, September 6 at 6 p.m.All women are welcome to join us for supper at the St.James Anglican Church hall in Bedford, where you can renew your memberships, become a new member, or just check out what we\u2019re all about.And we will be distributing the Avante Fall newsletter with a full three-month calendar of activities.Please call to reserve your spot at 450-248-0530.Just to give you a taste of things coming up, we have listened to your comments and suggestions, so we have plans to come to Sutton this fall, and we have adjusted some of our programming in Knowlton to accommodate those who would prefer evening activities.Stay tuned for more details after September 6!
