Like with most sectors,times have changed for firefighters.Today the equipment is more complicated and the newer generation of volunteer firefighters has to put in 600 hours following courses.“Eve got a really good group of men, they’re gung-ho, young and willing to learn.They’re well-trained and I have a lot of trust in them,” said newly appointed fire chief Richard St.Amour.“I wouldn’t send them in for a job they’re not qualified to do,” he added.For 22-year old fire-fighter Mary Jasmine Fortier, it is the greatest and most dangerous job on earth.“It’s a big adrenaline rush that’s hard to control when it rings at three in the morning.You never know.you have to be very careful and take lots of courses,” said Fortier, who has completed over 100 hours in courses in her three years as a firefighter.She said that in this line of work, it’s tough for women but she never stops learning.DÉNIS PARADIS, M.P.Brome-Missisquoi 21 Main St.Bedford (Québec) J0J 1A0 (450) 248-1179 HOUSE OF COMMONS 104 South Street Suite 100B Cowansville (Québec) J2K 2X2 (450) 266-6062 Mr.Simon Bilodeau, B.Comm Investment Advisor Complete Professional Investment Planning and Portfolio Advice Call today for information regarding: • Retirement and Estate Planning • Portfolio Strategies • Tax Advantaged Investment Strategies • International Investments LÉVESQUE BEAUBIEN GEOFFRION INC.150 St-Jacques, Suite 202, Granby -(450) 378-08841-877-378-0442 Brome County News Wednesday, May 26, 1999 page 9 Letters To The Editor Maybe we need less important people to run Townshippers’ Dear Editor, It would have been nice to see a response from the Townshippers that made an attempt on our behalf to seek unity among our English speaking groups.Instead, Mr.Richards made statements only on behalf of himself: he says we’re all too stupid to understand what goes on at his elevated level.Mr.Richards believes a new day has dawned, and that he and important people like Louise Beaudoin are working to make all of Quebec a bilingual population!

Richards, like the self-centered Senator McCarthy that he recalls, sees evil plots in those that dare disagree with him.He says things like, “The English newspapers are aiding and abetting a witch hunt,” and that “Even the Record has been an accomplice.” Aiding and abetting?Accomplice?These are terms from our criminal courts.Are we all to be associated with criminal behavior because we disagree with Mr.Richards?Mr.Richards says he is enraged at people who have dared to criticize past officials of his organization, Well that’s too bad.Could it be that we need less important people, less untouchable people to run the Townshippers?If The Townshippers are going to get “enraged”, do it for us, not for yourselves.By the way, I am not a member of any of those subversive groups you see around you, but I was a charter member of the Townshippers.Yours sincerely, L.Brian Timmins Knowlton Cebric’s % NEW MANAGEMENT Restaurant now open BAR RE-OPENING SOON BRUNCH EVERY SUNDAY 10 a.m.-1 p.m.all you can eat $8.95 242-2929 51 LAKESIDE, KNOWLTON fcOUTIQ Uç £°vvansv\^ 'ip-*:' gressing faster than what can be absorbed by our mind, but they make us believe that this is for our benefit.Somehow, when you look at yourself in the mirror, you may not come to the same conclusion! Our marketing system is of a devilish complicity, and lacking honesty by a country mile.It must be confusing for our young people when they look over the horizon and see what kind of future we have prepared for them.This school problem we are witnessing was predictable, when we consider the kind of road we have paved for our kids.We have to address the future with the basic values: respect our environment, cherish the land, bring back honesty, do not tolerate mediocrity.Wishful thinking is not enough: if we do not change our ways, the problem will not disappear.Basic values are a must!

Street gangs are flourishing.They are highly visible, and can be easily recognized by the way they dress and their behavior.It is well known that they are on the wrong wide of the law, but we choose to ignore them.For many years, we have been warned about the negative effect on our society of numerous television programs.But we have chosen to also ignore that, and we have even added the Internet to it.High tech is pro- ISSUES Tel.: (819) LB.I 564-8383 Specialities: Inground (gunite) concrete swimming pool We also carry: CHEMICALS — JACUZZI FILTERS & PUMPS — POOL HEATERS — ACCESSORIES Residential • Commercial • Municipal Over 20 years of experience at your service WE BEST CHO, perennials mm .*v Of, nnnninn k.TIRE À CLEMATIS 33-5261-0 FLATS* ANNUALS $049 33-3502-0 £.rssr,.«•“ TmÿtSF* COMPOSTS» ^ m?MANURE GERANIUMS SEEDLINGSfcg.3 1/2” pots, assorted colors jtm 33-3703-2 liiiiiMli ImiiiiiH vunnomii' TIRE PEAT MOSS (3.8 cu.ft.) 59-4512-0 PREPARED BLACK EARTH (25 litres) 99-4599-8 SHEEP MANURE (20 kg) 59-2254-6 COMPOSTED MANURE (20 kg) 59-2253-8 54,99 HOURS Mon., Tue„ Wed.Thurs., Fri.from 9:00 a.m.to 9:00 p.m.Saturday from 8:30 a.m.to 5:00 p.m Sunday from 9:00 a.m.to 5 p.m.$1.99 $1.99 ¦mk VISA CANADIAN TIRE 1599, rue Sud Cowansville A custom flyer in your e-mail weekly FREE!

some wine at Dunham’s L’Orpailleur.1 £_ History: CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 In addition to Palladian, the area boasts a rich inventory of Gothic, Classical Revival, Second Empire alongside traditional Quebec architecture.Hamilton discussed the critical relationship between geography and settlements.“Almost every village in the Townships existing before the coming of the railway owed its existence to a fall of water and the mills the early settlers built.The pioneer in his forest clearing could pound his grain into coarse meal in what was called a ‘pluming mill’ (a crude mortar and pestle fashioned out of wood).However, all craved flour so one of the first necessities for a settlement was a grist mill.” The group received a tour of the Freligh mill, built by Dr.Abram Freligh, founder of Frelighsburg by its current owner, Jacques Demers.Flamilton also discussed some of the area’s more colorful settlers, such as Solomon Walbridge, the intrepid businessman and founder of Mystic.“Solomon was not interested in farming but as his father complained ‘every time he needed him for work he found him building a waterwheel in the brook.’ As a result he was sent in 1846 to learn a machinists’ trade.” After returning to Mystic (then called Stanbridge Centre) he built waterwheels and later built a foundry that produced the first mowers and rakes used in Canada.His ingenious 12-sided barn, now a protected landmark, includes features that are innovative even by modern standards.Hamilton’s tour also touched upon prominent institutions of the area, such as the early history of the BMP hospital and changes she has seen in her own lifetime.The original hospital building, built in 1830, began life as Peter Pickel’s hotel and was converted to the District of Bedford General Hospital in 1911.Following a legacy from Edward C.Perkins, the hospital was renamed in 1931.“I well remember having my tonsils removed here as a child and in 1948 I worked here as a nurse,” Hamilton recalled.“It was quite a culture shock com- ing from the Royal Victoria Hospital to a small two-story building that had only one bathroom on each floor and what was said at the front door could be heard on the second floor.” The current BMP hospital was built in 1954 and the old hotel, which stood on the large, grassy lot in front of the hospital, was demolished.After a long day, the Canadian Club tour ended with a leisurely visit to Dunham’s L’Orpailleur for a wine-tasting before the group boarded the bus for the return trip to Cowansville and Knowlton.r w ^ St— .T" SHIP UrH NMff \ .¦'* ¦

collages inspired by a given text.Some of Plourde’s art pieces are in collections at La Musée du Quebec, and at the Caisse Populaire.She recently completed three projects for One Per Cent, a program which compels new government construction sites to allocate one per cent of their budget towards art pieces.“1 like to do these projects because our pieces remain permanently,” she said.Bruno Jovin, a member of the Association des Auteurs de la Montérégie de la Culture et des Communications, was one of the authors chosen.“I had to make an effort because the type of text I usually write would not have been accepted,” said Jovin, who recently published his first mystery novel.His prose, titled Une Ombre au Tableau, was his perspective from a satellite or the wings of a bird and is depicted by artist Celine Goudreau.Cynthia Dinsmore, president of Arts Sutton has invited the business community to a meeting chaired by Alain Labonte, on May 27, president of the Brome-Missisquoi Centre local de développement to focus on means of supporting arts and culture at a regional level.The exhibit runs until May 29.Hours for viewing are on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays from 1 till 5 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m.till noon and 1 till 5 p.m.For information, contact Arts Sutton at (450) 538-2563.Info-Clinic (514) 832-0873 1 800 343-7264 % Web site: www.hema-quebec.qc.ca Duck Manure
