Brome County NEW rofessionaL Tuesday, October 4, 2011 r.\ Todd Chabot FREE PH Knowlton house must move, says TBL ‘Public fund drive’ required and ‘new site’ needs to be found ¦ ¦ ¦ FRANK NIXON The Paul Holland Knowlton House.•ÎZJjt %¦§ T »7m IsagR By Frank Nixon “A public fund drive will be needed to cover the conservation and restoration costs, and a new site will need to be found,” said TBL town hall in a press release provided to the Brome County News on Sept.29.“Tire Town of Brome Lake hopes the community will mobilize to ensure the protection of this valuable witness of our local history.” This historic house, located at the entrance of the Knowlton Golf Club, off Lakeside Road, was once the home of Paul Holland Knowlton, the founder of Knowlton.He occupied the house as early as 1815 and the location of the golf course was once his farm before he moved to found the village.The house was later occupied by the caretaker when the land was turned into a golf course.The press release continues: “A technical study, carried out by Beaupré & Michaud, is available at town hall, and can be consulted at town hall during normal opening hours.The specialists carried out a series of exploratory soundings of the building, established its heritage value, and have presented a series of recommendations and cost estimates for the conservation of the building.“The study was presented to the Knowlton Golf Club, owner of the house.The golf club agrees to preserve the foundations of the building, but wishes for it to be removed from its original site.” Several residents were quick to comment on the town hall release: “The Knowlton Golf Club agrees to preserve the foundations of the building but wishes for it to be removed from its original site,” said Morris Croghan of Fulford.“Just what kind of nonsensical gobbledygook is this?How does one go about agreeing to preserve the founde-tions but ‘wishing for it to be removed’?” “The museum would be delighted to cooperate with the golf dub in finding a new location for one of Knowlton’s most important treasures and 1 would be glad to meet with them, at their convenience, to initiate talks on how to best preserve the house," said Diana Timmins, vice-president of the Brome County Historical Society (BCHS).“The name Knowlton is important to our culture, our history and our future, and we must all do what we can to preserve it.” “I suppose the municipality and the historical society will have to discuss the future site and the logistics of moving, conserving and restoring this landmark, and above all address the running of a public fund drive to do so, with or without government involvement,” said Guy Cote, another member of the BCHS.“I would move the house to the museum ••• Happy Tha nksgiving from Brome County News De la Ferme à la Table TURKEY = DAY October 10 Order now: Homemade: Dinner Rolls Stuffing Mix Pies and Pastries 605 ch Knowlton, Lac Brome, Quebec, JOE 1V0 grounds next to the school that bears Paul Holland Knowlton’s name.” “TBL is putting the cart before the ConTd on page 3 René-Claude Gagnon FREE DELIVERY - Demo-cosmetic Ctr.Medicare/Passport photos OPEN 7 DAYS Home Health Care Equipment for Rent or Sale 310, chemin Knowlton Knowlton 450-243-5700 M.Miiot & M.Réliste S.E.N.C Pharmaciens propriétaires LA zs.ntt mnOfUtt noté Sutton.Qc ptZKB T*.:4S0-S*MW5 "'¦W" « Auberge 8 Spa West Brome Spa West Brome Provençal-inspired Cuisine Award-winning wine list Full conference facilities www.awb.ca 450-266-7552 Fabulous Seafood Buffet every Frida)' night page 2 Tuesday, October 4, 2011 Brome County News Sutton celebrates fall colours Brorae County News has weekend passes to give away for Mont Sutton’s Fall Fest.To be eligible, send your name, address and phone number to Brome County News, 5-b Victoria St, Knowlton, Qc, JOE 1V0 or by e-mail to bcnnews@qc.aibn.com.Every weekend from Sept.17 to Oct.16, Mont Sutton will provide hikers and outdoor enthusiasts with the many flavours of autumn during its annual Fall Festival.In addition to the traditional chairlift ride, this Eastern Townships ski station will present a new fall program, with even more activities for the whole family, more music at the foot of the hill and sportive challenges to push your limits to the maximum.You can find the full detailed program oh the Internet at montsutton.com.Pet of the week — Foxie * & ItPtif ¦ • ¦./ Hi!

then there are the two floors, and yet an- Knowlton House other space, which appears to be a mezzanine.” Neighbours in the area are upset with Town Inspector Marc Beland, for giving out “McMansion” permits.“What is our municipal inspector doing?” asked a resident living on Colibris Street.“Who makes the decision to accept the plans for houses in TBL, which must be in harmony with the other houses around the lake, I ask?” “This house is in compliance with all TBL bylaws and a permit was issued,” said Beland when asked by Brome County News to respond to the residents’ complaints.Patrick Ouvrard, councillor for the environment and zoning, acknowledges that the bylaw isn't protective enough to keep “Mc-Mansions” from occurring on Brome Lake and says the current regulation will not protect most residential Cont’dfrom page 1 horse again,” said Kathryn Lexow, spokesperson for the Concerned Citizens Coalition of Lac Brome (CCCLB).“Town Hall needs to make a detailed public presentation on the report and publish the options for all to see.Are grants available?Is the town going to put any money toward this restoration?If not, why not?If so, how much will it contribute?What will the Knowlton Golf Club contribute?What is the dollar goal for fundraising?Will the restoration plan be subject to a Council resolution?” “As a taxpayer, I think this is a perfect opportunity for the Knowlton Golf Club to pay whatever it costs to move this house to a suitable location,” said Brian Timmins, a Knowlton businessman.“This elite private club can easily raise the funds from just a few of its members and have the entire club become a valued member of the Knowlton community, not just a private place for the wealthy to wine, dine and play golf.They need to pull their own weight in this matter.Many private clubs do this sort of thing.” The analysis report provided a series of cost estimates for the conservation and restoration of the building, depending on the option chosen.For example, the cost estimate to restore two of three sections of the building, which would be transported to the grounds of the BCHS, was pegged at $436,163.“The community will have to bear the major proportion of those costs,” said Jacques Lecours, councillor responsible for culture and communications.Lecours added: “The town is paying for this study but has not committed to any other monies at this point, and the Knowlton Golf Club has not formally committed to any definite amount at this point.” Council approved some $7,500 to produce the analysis report provided by the architectural firm, Beaupré & Michaud.The Knowlton Golf Club made an application to the Town of Brome Lake for a demolition permit, according to a public notice that appeared in the Brome County News on Nov.23, 2010.The notice read in part: “The planned usage of land following demolition: landscape and parking.” However, public opposition to demolishing the house was made loud and clear via many letters to town hall.There was also a petition opposing the demolition signed by 106 residents, which was submitted to town clerk Alain Roy, on Dec.1, 2010.A public meeting was held by the town’s Demolition Committee on Dec.6, 2010 where the three-member board unanimously agreed “not to recommend the granting of a demolition permit,” in accordance with town bylaw 462.FRANK NIXON communities in TBL from oversized homes.“The bylaw, as written, will not protect residents, from oversized homes, around the lake,” said Ouvrard.He added that “integrated architectural standards apply to only certain areas of downtown Knowlton.” Ouvrard said the town will revise the bylaw in the “new master plan,” expected to be unveiled in the near future.Just what these architectural zoning changes will be and when they will be open for public scrutiny is unknown.f ." ^ OcUth-1 Oth, 2011 4th Annual Knowlton (Lac Brome) Antique Glass Show & Sale Thanksgiving Weekend!

(Usual term about seven years.) Jean is a smart man, a gifted political operator who’s never been elected.He knows about the Music Festival; he knows why wires still adorn our streets; he knows why we don’t have enough water, he knows all about bylaw scandals.No one else does.Many of us voted for Gilles Decelles to ensure that Council would rebound to re-establish itself as a dominant, unified power.But after decades of manipulation, they simply can’t change gears.They follow the administration at city hall led by Jean Bourret.We have been protecting such failure for too many years! The Mayor’s immediate challenge is to unify council; start taking care of their voters by telling the DG what they want him to do.We can’t afford to wait two more years for an election.We deserve a council that works for us, not the Wizard of Brome Lake.BCN RATES & DEADLINES COMMUNITY CALENDAR Brome County News Community Calendar is reserved for non-profit organizations only.Deadline is noon on Fridays.A pre-paid fee of $7 is required per publication, or SPECIAL RATE of $13 for 2 insertions: 1 BCN & 1 in Friday Record “What’s On" section.Please forward notices to 5-b Victoria St., Knowlton, QC JOE 1V0, email: bcnnews@qc.aibn.com, or fax: (450) 243-5155.Visa and Mastercard accepted, Dear Editor: For me the highlight of the Duck Fest was Domenica, the little Italian grocery store, who whole heartedly jumped into the spirit of the Duck Fest, offering samples of a duck menu based on the products they offer in store.Duck ragu with porcini in white wine, served on polenta, delicious!!! Duck from the duck farm, porcini and seasonings and polenta from Knowlton’s own little Italian grocery store, perfect celebration of local Knowlton goodness.Also of note, though unilingual French, was the Quebec Duck organization in the bandstand of the park.The cooking demonstration was entertaining (though I only caught a portion of the humour) and the duck was very good.A bilingual presentation would have made it better, for Anglophones wishing to know more about duck.As I was on foot, I did not make it to the duck farm, where I know bilingual information is available, and I heard that their samples on offer were delicious.It was great to see the local producers and merchants out in the tents as a refreshing reminder of what is available in the area and ultimately complements the local duck we have on our door step, as well as meeting some local producers that I was unaware of, and looking forward to seeking out their wares in the future.Well done Duck Fest!

We dance until we are breathless and sated.Our bodies feel grounded, joyful, warm and calm.The music slows and we cool down a little bit.Then the recorded music stops and we get out our drums.We drum simple beats and everybody joins in.There is never any worry about how it sounds or whether it meets some standard.We just do it.There are sticks, which can be struck against each other to make a nice sound and rattles and shakers too for people who don’t own a drum.So even someone who has never drummed before can participate.There is never any judgment in these activities, which I call “In the Moment.” And that is the freedom of it, that’s the joy of it and that’s the feeling of incredible safety and love in it.We support each other by asking absolutely nothing of each other.Come as you are.Be as you are while you are there.Leave changed! When we are drumming, we simply enjoy being in the moment.We move and sway.We sound or sit silent.The choice is always ours and is a free and clear choice from within us.That is the beauty of being in a safe space to play with sound and rhythm.The rhythms, as we drum, inspire us to move in our seats and to tone and sing whatever notes come out of us.We feel moved and we move each other, sitting in a circle together and sharing the moments as they weave through our beating hands and sounding voices.We do this for some time.It never feels too short and it never feels too long.It is perfect being in the Now.Sometimes, when we have finished drumming, we share a few words about how we are feeling.We always end up feeling joyful, calm and abundantly well after our activities.Singing groups also meet this joyful urge in us to sound and breathe and sound again.I am so glad to have an opportunity this autumn to join a singing group, which will also be meeting at the Sunshine Center.I’ve already met with the group briefly and we sang a little bit.Oh! It felt so good! I think that it is the deep, sustained breathing that we have to do when we sing that takes us into such a feeling of well-being.We know, medically speaking, that highly oxygenated blood improves our health and wellness.Breathing deeply oxygenates our blood, so singing is good for our health! But breathing deeply in a sustained way also brings a sense of deep peace to us.It’s bi- As if dying in yotn?30’s isn’t iiard enough to swallow.What if you needed a fistful of pills just to digest your food^5 iSw that you Know more ahou* cystic fibrosis, won’t you please help^ l-SOO-363-'?”/'!! www.aqflv.qLC.ca m.- tarife \Cystic Fibrosis The Q.C.F.A.Is a provincial association of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.ological, but it has an impact on our spiritual aspects as well.Singing, dancing and drumming feel so good and have such a positive impact on our physical bodies, it seems strange to me that more people don’t take advantage of these expressions of joy and gladness.Having a safe and comfortable place to do these things is a gift that we give to ourselves.That’s why I began the “In the Moment” activities.The more places that offer such activities, the more people are able to enjoy doing them, the better.The benefits of these rhythmic expressions go even further.Our emotions are expressed, our stresses are given room and time to be released and our minds are quieted by the singing, the movements, and the beat in the Now.I am so glad that I get to do these things, right here in our little village.People in cities usually have a variety of these kinds of activities to take part in.There are all kinds of dance styles and drumming groups these days.For me, the most important thing is that you feel safe in all of your being and doing in that space where you move, tone, sing or drum.And if there is nothing that you feel drawn to in your area, create your own! You can use your own living room to move to a beat.You can hit two wooden spoons together to the rhythm coming out of the radio, computer or mp3 player.You can sing in the shower or in the car-that’s a great place to sing! I used to think that dancing was something that people did when they went out for the evening.So dancing was associated with the consumption of alcohol, wine or beer.It was a courtship ritual.Girls danced with boys and boys danced with girls, and nobody hit a drum unless they were in the band.Now that’s all changed.When 1 dance, I drink lots of good clean water.I join in with the music without any self-consciousness, moving my body any way 1 choose.It’s tremendous fun! Dancing, singing and drumming fill me with joy in the moment and it carries over into other moments and gifts me with a more joyful life.This is a great way to tune your frequency to joy.These are largely non-verbal forms of expression.They are ancient and yet highly appropriate to our culture and society.I love these activities and see great benefit in them for people of all ages.I urge you to participate if you are not already doing so.Make a joyful noise.Move your body and raise your frequency.It’s simple.It’s fun.And as often as not, it doesn’t cost a penny.Centre de santé et de services sociaux La Pommeraie THANKSGIVING Monday, October 10,h 2011 is a statutory holiday at La Pommeraie.The following is the schedule of services that are offered in our installations.INFO-SANTÉ 811 24 hours a day ¦ 7 days a week CLSC in Bedford CLOSED CISC in Cowansville ¦ Nursing care bv appointment onlv: 8 AM to noon ¦ 1 PM to 4 PM • Psychosocial service: cal!
