Jewett: Calling it quits after Sandra Jewett.‘We were a board that listened to people.’ — ¦ The RECORD—Thursday, November 22, 1990—B3 15 years on board By Sharon McCully EAST BOLTON — Leadership has its styles.Some leaders watch the direction the crowd is heading then run to the head of the pack.Others run ahead and try to pull the crowd in the same direction.But outgoing school board chairman Sandra Jewett prefers to lead from behind, gently prodding and pushing everyone towards a common goal.But when push comes to shove, she has no problem.“I like to operate with consensus,” commented Jewett who retired this month after a nine-year stint as chairman of the District of Bedford School Board.BEST INTERESTS “I think one of the greatest assets 6 of this board was the fact that eve- ^ ryone made decisions in the best g interests of the schools no matter 5 where they were.There was none £ of that parochial bickering about g which school was getting more or S less.” Jewett came to the board in 1975 as a parent representative from Mansonville school.“Those were the green paper days when Quebec was revamping the education system,” recalled Jewett from her office in the East Bolton town hall where she works as secretary treasurer for the town.“I was the concerned mother of two children,” she said.“I was sure the government would muff it without me peering over their shoulder.” “There was another reason 1 got involved,” added Jewett.“Mansonville school was my alma-mater.It was good to me and I wanted my children to have the same kind of school environment." The straight-talking Jewett laughs when she thinks of those early days.OLD BOYS “I would dutifully sit outside the board room waiting for the “good old boys” to come out of their executive meeting and allow us mere mortals inside.” Jewett credits the chairman of the board at the time, Bonar Lindsey with cutting a trail for her to the boardroom.“He sort of smoothed things for me, and in a way, maybe saw some potential in me,” Jewett said.Jewett was elected to the board as a commissioner in 1980 by acclamation when Kevin Heath gave up his Mansonville seat.A year later when Bonar Lindsay left the board, Jewett replaced him as chairman.For much of the time, Jewett was the only woman on the school board.She admits she liked being the queen bee.But, she says, she’s not hung up on labels or inclusive language.“I didn’t ever really object to being called chairman,” Jewett said.“Chairwoman sounded a lot like ’charwoman’ to me,” she added, “and ’chairperson’ made me feel like someone had removed my body parts.” TOOK THE LUMPS For nearly a decade, Jewett not only accepted the title, she took the lumps that went with it.She counts among the crowning achievements of the board, the Sutton school project where French and English students and teachers share a common school.The joint school project at Parkview in Granby is another positive initiative.On the down-side, Jewett recalls defecits.past and present.“A few years ago,” she recalls, “the board laid off 14 administrative staff members to deal with the defecit.” “Looking back, I think we would have done things differently,” she said.Indeed the board finds itself today looking at a $400,000 defecit and has resisted laying off staff.“When you find yourself $400,000 short of funds, it’s wounding to everything you’re trying to do,” Jewett said.“We weren’t spending a cent on luxuries as it was, and with a defecit that size, you have to make cuts that hurt.” If there’s an up side to the defecit, Jewett said, it’s the fact it draws parents and the community closer to the school.VOLUNTEERS “We have to turn to parents more as volunteers in the school to help with noon-hour supervision, and as tech-aids,” she said.Jewett said she believes the precarious financial situation of the school board is a reflection of other trends in the province and the country.“School boards are a microcosm of society,” she said.“We have overspent to the point we are mor- tgaging our children’s futures.” Jewett says she would like to think the hallmark she brought to the board is her ability to deal with people first."We were a board that listened to the concerns of people," commented Jewett.“We believed if the people working for you aren’t happy, they won’t be effective in the job they’re doing.” “I don't think our best projects could have been accomplished if we didn’t have people working together.” Jewett has only accolades for the team she has led for the past decade.ABSOLUTE JOY “I’d have to say that it’s been an absolute joy working with this group for the past 10 years,” she said.“They’re an innovative, progressive, and dedicated group.” Besides, she added, “they knew both my strengths and my weaknesses and quietly accepted both.” Jewett’s honest, shoot-from-the-hip style has earned her the admiration of board members, administrators, and educators.Jewett said the sudden, unexpected death of her father last year prompted a re-assessment of her personal life.“Being chairman of the board takes a tremendous amount of energy and time,” she said.Jewett said she also believed its important for people in such positions to avoid the “old shoe syndrome” where everybody gets too comfortable and stops challenging and asking the hard questions.“It’s been a wonderfully rewarding experience for me,” Jewett said.“But for the next little while I just want to say “it’s Tuesday night and I have nowhere to go.“ GREAT SAVINGS OUR MOVING SALE CONTINUES MHS • SWEATERS % SHIRES • ETC 'our vousTTlonsieur Country

Chateau Bromont.Spa Concept is 5 the brain child of Bromont entre- < prenneur Yvette Pratte Marches- ° sault.Marchessaultplanstoopen a ; third spa in Quebec City in De-1 cember.: THE BIG TREATMENT “We get a lot of people who come to the hotel for conferences or on vacation,” Gosselin said.“And we have a special clientele who come to spend three-five days here just for the treatment.” That’s treatment with a capital .•T” The five day program opens with a Finnish sauna and shower followed by a therapeutic bath.A trained therapist administers oils, algae, clay or mud to revitalize and energize the body.“The mud is particularly good for rheumatism or arthritis,” noted Gosselin.The body is caked in mud, then wrapped for 45 minutes.“The wrapping allows the minerals and vitamins to be absorbed,” Gosselin explained.The “mud-room” adjoins the therapeutic bath.Jet heads in the therapeutic bath rinse the body leaving it refreshed and revitalized.RELAXATION ROOM Clients are then invited to stretch out in the “relaxation room ".There are four black leather easy chairs with matching prepared for spa guests.Lunch is served by the hotel pool.Aerobic exercise classes are held for those who want to tone the muscles, and exercise bikes and equipment are also available poolside.An esthetician will remove unwanted hair from wherever while manicurists and pedicurists file and paint finger and toenails.Throughout your stay at the spa,.All therapists employed at the spa have followed a three-year training program.Gosselin said.100 A DAY The Bromont spa is capable of treating 100 clients at any given time, plus several day clients.“Some people think you have to go away someplace to have a spa treatment,” commented Gosselin.“But that isn’t the case." “Some clients are coming in one day a week for day treatments that leave them feeling really relaxed." The cost of a day treatment which includes a sauna, shower, massage and a dip in the pool will set you back $55.One day and 1 night at the spa with overnight accomodation at the Chateau Bromont and 3 meals will cost $270, double occupancy.Two days, two nights.6 meals and the full two-day treatment at the spa will cost $515.double occupancy.Three days, three night, and nine meals will cost $725 double occupancy.And the five day plan complete with meals and accomodation-double occupancy will cost $1,175.For reservations call 534-2717 or 1-800-567-spas.Relaxing in the solarium with a cup of herbal tea after a therapeutic bath, assistant spa manager Louise Gosselin says clients leave the spa feeling relaxed.Ralf Bushenbaum B.Comm.R.R.3, Mansonville, P.Q.JOE 1X0 Phone: 292-5835 Fax: 292-3797 SPECIALIZING: COMPUTERIZED BOOKKEEPING & PAYROLL CORPORATE & INDIVIDUAL TAXATION SMALL BUSINESS CONSULTING foot-stools in the relaxation room.Subdued infra-red lighting and background sounds of rippling water and angelic cellos set the stage for the voiced recordings instructing the body in relaxation techniques.A bulletin board posted outside the treatment rooms tells clients where to go next.Some may opt for the floating bath, a huge dome shaped bath filled with temperature controlled water and enough salts and minerals to keep a whale afloat.The sensation of floating suspended on water creates a near-perfect environment for muscle relaxation.After the floating bath experience, if your yin and yang is still out of whack, you get a period of re-energizing sleep “Japanese style” to balance the yin and yang.Gosselin says many clients who come in complaining of aching muscles or back pain claim the Ja-panese bed has relieved their discomfort.The “Japanese bed” is a thin mattress on the floor with hard elevated nodules about an inch high and an inch apart.If it hasn’t worked in 45 minutes, chances are, you'll feign a cure.GLORIFIED ENEMA If you’re really going for the works from the inside out, you can sign up for the colonic irrigation.Those walking in blind should know that a “colonic irrigation” is a glorified enema.Gosselin says the intestinal purification leaves people feeling more relaxed in the abdominal region.Between treatments, clients at the spa can relax in the solarium overlooking Bromont and sip herbal tea.The package includes meals at the hotel dining room specially Salon lue Ladies' Hairdressing Jo-Anne Michaud, prop.¦ JkmammmmmKmm 54 Principale, N.Sutton 538-3878 SPECIALS % OFF ‘Boutique cMona cLisd 17 Ch.Lakeside Rd.Knowtton.Qué.JOE 1V0 Opwi Wed.to Sun.10 o.m.to S p.m.Tél.(514) 243-6812 Christmas accessories A new and larger store for a bigger and better selection NEW ADDRESsfH CHRISTMAS CARDS (BOXED) AND ALSO GIFT WRAP (ROLLS) • Buy 2 and get the 3rd one at half price • Buy 3 and get the l 4th one FREE* *Box or roll of same value or less.While quantities last PAPETERIE COWANSVILLE 702 SUD, COWANSVILLE v 263-3212 B6—The RECORD—Thursday, November 22, 1990 HAVE A NICE VISIT IN HOLIDAY GREETINGS To You and Your Loved Ones Co^P KNOWLTON clairol ,\\^e IL^ canada ülap tlje 12?armtt) of Cfjriotmao BE WITH YOU.ALL YEAR LONG ^ftnjolidated II Dufchwest STOVE & GARDEN Knowlton, Que.___________________________Tel: 514-243-5161 Come for some Gjnstmas eijeev.in a Uiann ant) frient)Ip atmospfjere €nrop our trabitional Cngltsl) Jpufj Jfare, mclutring our famous ^teafe and &itmep |3te.Cedric’s is fenoUm for its manp cfjoices of jUicro-^Bretoed and imported JBeers on Œap and in r,ottltS- Bistre (EcÙrîc’a fut
