what\u2019s going on disposal, and economic concerns By Kathryn Lexow own of Brome Lake prides itself |i clean water and air and promotes a safe and healthy environment in which to live and raise young families.The stated mission of the town is \u201cto offer its permanent residents and its vacationers an exceptional environment in which to live and work in a rural setting.\u201d This \u201cexceptional environment\u201d does not include an environmentally unfavourable and potentially ruinous, annual 500,000-pig slaughterhouse operation, which could employ 70 workers, most of whom will come from outside the community.But this is exactly what Mayor Richard Burcombe and council are pitching for our rural, recreational, and tourist focused community.Mountains of waste The long-term profitability and sustainability of such a risky venture is highly questionable.Public health and protecting our ecosystems override the need for such an agri-food business.From an infrastructure and environmental perspective, producing massive amounts of slaughterhouse waste, on a small plot of land, is just a terrible idea in the Brome Lake territory.Here are key reasons why: Fragile water supply Residents remember all too well TBL having to close the Jolibourg well because the town didn\u2019t have the proper certification.The opening of the large infiltration gallery eventually helped, but there were numerous bureaucratic delays.Although the potable water supply from the current wells now seems to be meeting demand, it may not allow for much needed affordable housing development.So, the water supply is extremely fragile.All it would take would be a leak to really foul things up, like previous years when residents were restricted from washing their cars and watering their lawns and the town was trucking in water to supply their needs.From 2012 to 2014, two of the town\u2019s curb valves were re-opened by mistake, pumping millions of litres of water over a period of two years, to non-existent residences.As a result of this \u201cadministrative error\u201d, the town had to truck in some $300,000 of potable water to meet a severe water shortage.Over 900 tanker truckloads delivered some 30 million litres of water to replenish the depleted Spring Hill reservoir, according to figures supplied by town hall.Property owners on the water system were then slapped with a $70 water tax increase which appeared on their 2013 tax bill.The annual water tax went up from $280 to $350.Wastewater management One of the largest environmental concerns associated with slaughterhouses is wastewater and water contamination by pollutants.The wastewater from slaughterhouses, as you can imagine, contains all sorts of animal wastes and solids, including fat, grease, intestines, bone, manure and antibiotics.Slaughterhouses are cleaned with strong chemicals and water adding to this waste contamination.When too much of such waste is produced in one place, there is no safe, cost-effective way to use it or dispose of it.All this wastewater is a problem for a number of reasons.One of the biggest is its contribution to nitrate pollution, which is a major source of water contamination in agricultural communities.Also, this nutrient pollution can be airborne and can soak into the ground water, where it can reach drinking water systems.Nitrogen, phosphorous, and ammonia in waterways can Kill aquatic life, and make it much more difficult for fish, insects, and other creatures dependent on the water to survive.Furthermore, TBL's track record with SHARON McCuLLY

absence I am back in our town.I would say a lot of progress has been made by investing in a new gas station, a new Tim Hortons and a convenience store, as the other one does not have the capacity to serve everybody at the same time.We will need another pump station.We also have noticed more tourists coming this way thanks to the new improvements done on our roads and streets.Also to our Knowlton Theatre, thanks to our representative M.Paradis the best representative we have in our region again.Noticing improvements in other areas just before the November election I wonder if we should vote for the same council \u2014 likely \u2014 at least they did not fight with each other during their mandate.Now let\u2019s bring our attention to what\u2019s going on in Fulford Road Foster.Part of the road coming from Bromont and when going for a short walk we should take a chance with the big trucks.They do not speed, they race instead, including the police.No respect for pedestrians because it\u2019s a short cut going anywhere, I imagine.I am begging the council: Please do something before an accident happens! We have requested in the past and they did not pay attention.It\u2019s a disgrace that we have to live like this in this touristic area, like the town of Brome Lake.We are running out of time and something has to be done before the elections.Just on time we have learned that the famous aquatic swimming pool has not been approved by the government; bad news for the council, what a joke! Poor senior citizens living on a limited pension, we cannot afford increases anymore! The money does not grow on trees.AL AZEVEDO Town of Brome Lake dealing with its own wastewater has been dreadful.TBL was cited by the Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment, Wildlife and Parks (MDDEFP) for repeatedly violating environmental regulations at the wastewater treatment site at 50 Mill Rd., in Bondville.TBL was one of five municipalities in Quebec with the most infractions in the management of municipal waste discharge, according to an audit completed by ministry officials in 2012.Although upgrades to our wastewater site were eventually implemented, they are not robust enough to manage sewage from a pig slaughterhouse.Greenhouse gas emissions Slaughterhouses produce greenhouse gas emissions which are equally frightening.The main source of these emissions is from the electricity used to run the slaughterhouses and to get rid of the previously mentioned wastewater as well as packing, cooling, and transporting the dead animals and the processed meat products.Slaughterhouses are also responsible for large outputs of methane and carbon dioxide, both major contributors to climate change.These gases are created both in the process of slaughter and by the degradation of wastewater.As estab- BCN RATES & DEADLINES : COMMUNITY CALENDARS Brome County News Community Calendar is reserved for non-profit organizations only.Deadline is noon on Fridays.Must be pre-paid.Up to 40 words: $8, 41-70 words: $12, 71-100 words: $15, all prices include taxes.Special rates: $2 off for 2 insertions, 1 BCN and 1 in the Friday Record \u201cWhat's On\u201d section.Please forward notices to 5-b Victoria St., Knowlton, QC JOE 1VO0, email: bcnnews@qc.aibn.com, or fax: (450) 243-5155.Visa and Mastercard accepted.lished above, wastewater contains a number of organic materials, all of which release methane and carbon dioxide when they decompose.Waste disposal So just to understand the worst of mass pig slaughtering, consider how some of these waste products are disposed of by the agriculture industry.One is to spray the wastewater as irrigation over fields.A bad idea, as this method can contaminate surface and groundwater, cause terrible smells, contribute to greenhouse gases, and negatively impact the soil.Another approach to dispose of waste is lagoons.These are commonly known due to their use as storage for manure and other factory farm waste, but they are also used for slaughterhouse waste.This use produces a lot of methane and again spews terrible odours.How to oppose the town council\u2019s \u2018pig slaughterhouse\u2019 project Contribute to a sustainable future.A petition is currently being circulated within the community to strongly oppose the town\u2019s so-called \u201cattractive\u201d slaughterhouse \u201cinvestment.\u201d Also, you can voice your opposition by contacting the mayor and councillors.Email: reception@ville.lac-brome.qc.ca ;

it reduces the risk or incidence of developing hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, breast and prostate cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and depression.The pharmaceutical industry has yet to find a pill that is as effective as exercise, with little to no side effects! The same group states that in order to achieve health benefits, adults should accumulate at least 150 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-inten- sity aerobic activity per week, in bouts of 10 minutes or more.This could play out as many different scenarios, depending on your personal preferences and abilities.For instance, one could choose to combine brisk walking or cycling in their daily commutes or errands.There are many community based dancing or walking groups if you prefer to join your efforts in a more social manner.For more vigorous activity, one can choose to add bouts of swimming, running or cross-country skiing to the equation.If you have not been active or well in a very long time, don\u2019t let this discourage you.You can progressively build up your tolerance and capacity to aerobic activity starting with small bouts of 10 minutes.If this scenario sounds like a daunting task to you, get help from a health professional who will know how to properly assess your needs and guide you with your goals.Exercise is Medicine Canada ® clearly states that aerobic activity is a sure way to help you maintain or improve your body weight, your functional independence, your mobility, your bone CENTRE DENTAIRE Tremblay & Associés New patient Welcome Iii © SCC VOUF gift Grow Dre Julie Tremblay, DM.D Dentist are Now open from Tuesday to Friday to serve you better Tuesday: 12 noon to 8 p.m.Wednesday & Thursday: 9 a.m.to 4 p.m.Friday: 9 a.m.to 2 p.m.485, ch Knowlton, Knowlton QC JOE 1V0 T.450.243.5591 health, and mental health.Strength training Another beneficial form of physical activity for your health is strength training.It is well recognized that while increasing your lean tissue mass, strength training will also help reduce the risk of developing heart disease, increase bone mineral density and can help older adults improve functional capacity.If your objective is to improve your global health, strength exercises performed twice per week will already have an impact.According to guidelines established by The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), in order to see more tangible strength gains that translate into your daily function, a minimum requirement of three sessions per week is necessary.These same guidelines advise to perform one to two sets of each exercise, trying to target major muscle groups, allowing yourself a least one-day break in between sessions.ACSM recommends choosing a load (free weight, elastic tubing, sand bag, food cans.) that allows your muscle to fatigue after 15-20 repetitions (for deconditioned adults) or eight to12 repetitions (for healthy active adults).If you remain consistent with this routine, you can expect to start feeling strength gains six weeks after you begin you first effort.Neuromotor and balance training Neuromotor training is a key component of our fitness and becomes even more critical as we get older.A guideline by Garber et al.in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise in 2011, describes that this type of exercise focuses on developing your motor skills including balance, coordination, and agility.Maintaining your balance relies on the complex coordination of your muscles, joints, nervous system, vision, and vestibular system (inner ear).Neuromotor training will focus on improving your body\u2019s ability to react quickly by using all of these different body systems efficiently.It is well known that falls can be a significant contributor to injury and disability in seniors.A recent review by the Canadian Physiotherapy Association states that fall prevention programs are an essential tool in minimizing risk but have also been shown to improve quality of life, physical function, strength, balance, CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 8 2 AMYROGERSON Physiothérapeute - Physiotherapist Sports physiotherapy * Active rehabilitation « Manual therapy Physiothérapie sportive - Réadaptation active « Thérapie manuelle TEL: (579)438-8484 Karine Tcholkayan pht and Amy Rogerson pht Members of/ Membres de l'Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec 2-550 Ch.De Knowlton Rd., Lac Brome (QC) JOE 1V0 sportphysio.knowlton@gmail.com PressReader.com +1 604 278 4 ORIGINAL COPY ORIGINAL COPY ORIGINAL COPY ORIGINAL COPY ORIGINAL COPY ORIG p pressreader PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER 604 COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW PAGE 6 TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2017 Brome County NEws MGM-TV production transforms Frelighsburg to By Ann Davidson nyone going through Frelighsburg at the end of August and into Sep- ember, especially the OLF, might get a shock with all the English only signs that have a strong hint of the New ESS J JP pos D \u201cx \"A .LT .: ~ + re Aly ;
