of symptoms helps pinpoint problems Learning : Cont’d from Page 1 of intelligence,” explained Mary Ann Albert of Lac Brome Social Services.“They are defined as dysfunctions of the central nervous system often seen in a children of average or above average intelligence.” Albert points to AQETA’s published list of achievers who are now believed to have had some type of learning disorder, a list that includes Napoleon, Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci and Virginia Woolf, to name a few.Current estimates by the association suggest that 10 to 15 per cent of the general population have some sort of learning disorder, many of which are never diagnosed.She gave a short checklist of symptoms that may indicate the presence of a disorder such as attention deficit disorder (ADD), hyperactivity or dyslexia.“Look for things like a short attention span, poor memory (the inability to remember from lessons from one day to the next), a delay in development, deficits in skills such as reading, writing or math, difficulty in following oral instructions, lack of social adeptness or behavioral problems,” she said.“These kids often say ‘No matter how hard I try, I just can’t’.A lot of kids go undiagnosed.It’s easy to see when a kid has a classic case of ADD, but some- times, disorders are more subtle and harder to catch.” She added that schools, under intense budgetary pressures, may now be testing and confirming the most obvious cases, while milder cases slip through the cracks.The parents of these kids are often frustrated as they see their children struggling to keep up with their peers.When not placed into a proper environment, they may suffer from low self-esteem that plays out as bad behavior, anger or indifference to learning.The March 1 evening session is designed for both parents of diagnosed children and those who suspect their child may have an undiagnosed learning disorder.Laurent Beauvais, President of AQETA (Bedford branch) will introduce the organization as well as some of the services available, including active listening support, the company of others with learning disorders, video information, workshops, loans of learning materials, information on psychological evaluation, respite and educational outings.Albert said that peer and professional feedback is critical to helping families cope with the challenge of a child or children with learning disorders.“We want parents to know that they are not alone.” Learn more about learning disorders on the Internet By Caroline Kehne Record Correspondent ryihe internet provides a wealth of information

few pointers on winter and spring driving What season is it anyway?Last week the folks at Yokohama Tires invited me and a group of automotive reporters out to a racetrack in St-Eu-stache to compare their tires with some of the other leading brands.Figuring that the last thing you’ll want to read about at this time of the year is buying winter tires, I’ll hold off on the test results until, say, October.But I did pick up a few pointers you might find useful in whatever we get for weather over the next few weeks.Here’s a bit of what I found out: • Check your tire pressure regularly.A drop of 10 degrees Celsius will result in a loss of 2 pounds of tire pressure.That increases tire wear and gives your car more of an appetite for gas.The best time to check your tire pressures is first thing in the morning, with your car parked outdoors.This is sound advice, no matter what time of year it is.• Plan ahead when driving on snow and ice, always trying to make sure your car is doing only one thing at a time.It should be either braking, steering or accelerating, but never more than one of those functions at a time.• If you get stuck, avoid spinning the tires as much as possible.The spinning causes friction, which in turn melts the snow and creates ice, making your situ- ation worse.• Install winter tires in sets of four.Replace your winter tires when the tread depth reaches 4 millimetres (5/32 of an inch).Spring soon?Of course the recent spring-like conditions also have us thinking warmer thoughts.A tip for storing your winter tires, something you should be able to do in a month or so: Store your tires in bags away from sources of grease and other chemicals.If they are on rims of their own, reduce the air pressure by about half.Store tires flat, to prevent bending the rubber and steel belts out of shape.Winter tires are designed for just that.Designed to be soft in cold temperatures, they will be less stiff in warmer weather.That softness also means they will wear a lot faster, and won’t handle as well in an emergency.Remember, winter tires are designed for just that.As I said earlier, you’re probably not thinking about the rigors of winter.But the recent warm weather has been providing us with some rough reminders of the road ahead.So while bare pavement may provide the temptation to drive fast, there’s already an extensive collection of potholes out there to slow you down.Remember a few weeks back when I talked about alignments?Well these road conditions are prime for wrecking Under The Hood Maurice Crossfield High school diploma with Distance

winter conditions.the way your car tracks down the road.That means costing you more in repairs, gas, tires and so on.Shock absorbers also take a serious beating during the spring thaw.While most drivers think of shocks as devices aimed at providing comfort, they also play a vital role in the handling of your car.Don’t mess around with blown shocks, get them replaced.There’s not much you can do to avoid the pitfalls of spring except drive carefully.Slow down, and try to steer clear of the worst potholes and frost heaves.Just remember to avoid steering into oncoming traffic to avoid that nasty looking hole in the road.Considering that it’s anybody’s guess what we’ll get for driving conditions for the next few weeks, slowing down a little and showing a little extra caution isn’t such a bad idea.I B & m “* f 4 B IT S NATIONAL CRAFT MONTH and WE ARE CELEBRATING Shed those Winter Blues with us and GET CRAFTING 25% OFF ALL plastic canvas and cording 15% OFF ALL other regular priced

(450) 266-6062 Record: Tuesday, February 29, 2000 page 5 Lallier heard the legend of Becky 25 years ago Cont’d from Page 1 much of the time with extended family.“No one else has lived here, she says.“Just us.And I’m hanging in here now.” Come May, Bloomfield will be 78 years old.“If I live that long,” she says with a chuckle.“I tell people, I’m just going on borrowed time.” Bloomfield remembers “this and that .here and there!” However, neither she nor her brother can recall the legend of Aunt Becky.“We did have a nice big family bible (with records), but (it went to a relative) who lives in California,” she says.“I don’t know as much as I should,” she admits.It’s fair to say that she and her brother are delighted to learn of the legend.Adalbert Lallier, retired professor of economics and political science at Concordia, first heard of it shortly after purchasing the 210-acre wood-lot mountain in 1975.The legend goes back to the early 1800s when the area was first settled by Union Loyalists from the American colonies, remarked Lallier.There were also a few “British” Protestants and Scottish Presbyterians, Irish refugees, escaping oppression and famine, and French Catholics from the Gaspesie, he says.Everyone belonged to a faith community.One lived, married, died and was buried in it, he noted.“Intermarriage was considered not only ‘sinful’ but also a ‘betrayal’ of one’s own need to secure for one’s own community as many children as possible.” Such were the mores of the era in which Rebecca Holland was born.The mores explain why it would be painful being a Catholic woman “terribly in love” with a Protestant bachelor - who legend said belong to one of the seven “major” Union Loyalists (Protestant families) in the area.It is reasonable to believe that Becky was a Catholic, given that her forefathers came from Ireland.However, Bloomfield “never heard of any Hollands being Catholic.They were Methodists .that’s why I never had any fun dancing,” she says with a laugh.Still, Becky lived a long time ago, and she’s willing to concede that Becky could well have been Catholic.Most important, MURIF.LLE PARKES Margaret Bloomfield’s family has deep roots in region.the two lovers be- longed to different religions.Lallier’s retelling of the legend has observers noting the two exchanging furtive glances and touching hands.However, the romance was curtailed by the two sets of parents who forbade any closer encounters.Becky, who wanted no other, and her young man, “who is said to have approached no other woman in the community,” became creasingly desperate.Indeed, the love affair began to take on the appearance of a tragedy in the making, said Lallier.One winter night, the two stole away to spend a bit of time together.A major snowstorm was approaching, so they decided to return to their respective homes.The young man reached his destination.But not Becky.Instead she walked to the top of the mountain to ask God’s help to marry her true love.Alas, she got lost in the snowstorm, and disappeared “without a trace of ever being found.” Legend records a full moon the next night with neighbours claiming to hear at midnight a female voice painfully wailing for her beloved.Twenty-five years ago, Lallier was told the event was still happening during a full moon.Lallier has a mystical side to him.“I owned the hill for seven years and learned how to listen to the trees and the birds, even hearing during some of those clear full-moon nights a wailing coming from the top of the mountain.” He also “discovered a couple of really old and unused pathways, one of which led right towards the top of the mountain, but was covered with lots of underbrush and smaller trees” - the path used by Becky, perhaps?“But I never had the privilege of meeting with ‘Aunt Becky’ or her spirit.” On hearing the story of Aunt Becky, Bloomfield agreed it was wonderfully romantic.“Maybe I’ll do something romantic myself,” she quipped.“To

prêtres canadiens.Le livre contient des cartes géographiques, des photos et des lettres originales ainsi que de nombreux documents en annexe.En 1983, après quarante ans de silence et à la fin du régime Mao, mon frère a repris contact avec les catholiques de Fengxian.Lui et sa femme ont visité quatre fois le lieux de la sépulture du Père Bernard - ils étaient accompagnés de leur fils Prosper lors de leur dernier voyage.En 1990, en collaboration avec des Chinois, ils ont fait érigé un monument à la mémoire de ces trois Jésuites Canadiens.Lors de mon propre voyage en Chine en 1976, j’avais essayé de me rendre à Fengxian mais les autorités Chinoises du régime d’alors me l’avait interdit Le livre veut faire connaître aux Canadiens, aux Chinois et au monde, la vie de cet autre Canadien qui, comme Norman Bethune, a donné sa vie pour la Chine qu’il a tant aimée.C’est pourquoi le livre sera aussi publié en chinois.De plus, il paraîtra en anglais aux Etats-Unis en juillet 2000, sous le titre: “In China Forever”.Le livre parle de la Chine moderne, des relations des auteurs avec les gens de Fengxian et des nouveaux liens d’amitiés créés par les affaires et par l’éducation.Mon frère met sur pied un cours en Administration à la “China University of Mining and Technology” à Xuzhou, province de Jiangsu, en collaboration avec la Chine.Il a amené des étudiants - MBA pour cadres - de Montréal, en avril 1999 pour un cours sur les affaires en Chine.A la China University, ses cours pour les cadres de Xuzhou débuteront à l’automne 2000.Ce document de 1100 pages présente un ensemble de lettres écrites par le Père Prosper Bernard, S.J., devenu Na Shi Rong.$435 sq.ft.PREVARNISHED SELECT OAK 3-1/4” $495 STIC *3 /sq.ft.RUSTIC OAK 3 1/4” $099 /sq.ft.194 Principale Ange-Gardien Tel.: 450-293-6433 Fax 450-293-2617 1-800-531-1578 Many more in-store specials CENTRE DE LA RÉNOVATION J.O.LÉVESQUE LTÉE.42 rue Plaisane Bedford Tel.: 450-248-4307 Fax 450-248-0658 1-800-363-9262 Come celebrate your special events with good friends, good food & good times.We specialize in parties for 10-40 people.242-2929 51 Lakeside, Knowlton €njop tfje experience Brome County News Wednesday, March 1, 2000 page 7 Adventures in the egg production business Sixteen hens a-laying It may have been inspired in part by the Year 2000 busi-ness.Or maybe the example of another neighbour with his pigs and turkeys provided the motivation.Perhaps his thinking was simply that, if you raise your own food, at least you have a better chance of knowing what you’re eating.Whatever the reasons, a second neighbour decided last fall he’d get into the food production business too, in a modest way.The aforementioned pigs and turkeys had scarcely embarked upon their final journeys when the first group of chickens arrived.They were 10 in number, nine black ones and one white.not unlike your average NBA team.At the age of 16 weeks they were, we were told, about two months away from the start of egg production.But apparently no one told the hens.Before three weeks passed, we had our first eggs, a few cute little browny things, what Grandmother would call ‘pullet’s eggs’.(I suppose ‘pullet’ comes from the French ‘poulet’; here’s hoping the Office de la langue Français doesn’t hear about it.) It may have been our mountain spring water, or the sweet autumn breezes off the lake.Could be the spectacular sunrises over Foster Mountain, a young visitor who often doesn’t get to bed before daylight offered.Whatever the cause, the girls were in full production well ahead of schedule.This early success in turn prompted the proud proprietor to expand his enterprise, and shortly a group of browny-red hens arrived, eight in number.Before the first snow, we lost two, one from each group, to predators.Since then, the remaining sixteen have been producing at close to 100 per cent capacity.Even in the darkest, coldest times, an average of fifteen eggs a day lay waiting for the collector.They range in color from light beige to deep brown, in curious variations on the usual oblong shape.Some are thick and squat, almost spherical.A few are long, decidedly pointed.One hen consistently brings forth double yokers.Another must have a misshapen rear, producing oddly-shaped, wrinkled shells, bumped and ridged like a bad caulking job.Country Squire Brian Eddington C.K.’s INCOME TAX SERVICE & BOOK-KEEPING Bilingual & Confidential Individual Income Tax returns Self-employed Small businesses Farms | Pick up 4 UMiveiy ¦Sen ice jlmilobk 51 2 KNOWLTON RD.KNOWLTOM Phone/Pax 243-6324- Carol Krainyk Some city friends aren’t sure they want to eat our eggs.After all, they aren’t snowy white, perfectly shaped, absolutely uniform in size, with pink - numbers pin-printed on the shells.(By the way, how do those numbers get there?Is a tiny printer surgically implanted in each hen’s butt?Maybe the guys that put the caramel in the chocolate bars could tell us.) While more and more people are becoming better informed about what they’re eating, there’s still a lot of work to be done.Last summer, after watching our porkers frolic in the muck, a first-time visitor remarked, “No wonder they call them pigs!” A preschooler, checking out the milking operation on a real farm, proclaimed to his parents that he’d never drink milk from a cow.Pressed for detail, he replied he preferred his milk in a plastic bag.After five months together, we are impressed with these laying hens.In terms of efficiency and quality, they’re hard to beat.They scratch about happily for the tiniest of edible goodies.Weighing three or four pounds each, they bring forth daily a neatly-packaged, easily-stored, highly nutritious item that represents up to five per cent of their total bulk.All this, with a modest amount of relatively dry, readily disposable waste.Their bedding remains surprisingly tidy and dry for extended periods.A beakful or two of water each does them all day.Three or four ducks, on the other hand, can devastate the same area like a horde of invading Visigoths.They insist on bathing in their drinking water, and seem to prefer showers.(Of course, men also prefer showers; it’s disgusting to pee in a bath.) The duck attendant is advised to step quickly back after filling their reservoir.Bills and heads are thrust to the bottom of the bowl, tossing water all over the body.Next, wings flap in a great fuss, flinging a fine spray about the pen and access way.Further, a few ducks produce more waste than 16 hens, great gooey globs that bind everything together in a cold, slippy, cement-like mass.And after all this, not a single duck egg in two years.They could learn valuable lessons from the hens.PHOTO COURTESY WILL ALLEN The Squire with one of his many prolific feathered friends.Québec Le Curateur public du Québec MOVING Please note that on February 28, 2000, the Regional Office (South) of the Public Curator, currently located in Brassard, will move to: 201, place Charles-Lemoyne Longueuil, Québec J4K 2T5 Telephone: (450) 928-8800 Toll-Free: 1 877 663-8174 Fax: (450) 928-8850 This Regional Office and its service outlet in Sherbrooke are responsible for the persons who live in the Montérégie, Centre du Québec and Eastern Townships regions.The departments involved with the management of property and consent to care remain in the Montréal office.CENTRE DE FORMATION tgBg& PROFESSIONNELLE **>*g^v VOCATIONAL EDUCATION «>^5^ CENTRE Cowansville Campus Commission scolaire du Val-des-Cerfs Commission scolaire Eastern Townships Eastern Townships School Board 200 Adelard-Godbout Cowansville (QC) J2K 3X9 FULL-TIME VOCATIONAL EDUCATION COURSES STARTING MARCH/APRIL 2000 REGISTER NOW WHILE PLACES ARE STILL AVAILABLE!

facilities located in Fam-ham, Bedford, Sutton and Cowansville.“It is not enough to just add years to the lives of the elderly,” said spokesperson Susan Deguire.“Guided by this maxim, the residential and long-term care centers (CHSLD) of La Pommeraie would like to offer a gift to the elderly in the beginning of the new millennium, of which the first year is designated as Tear of the Elderly’.For those whose health is more and more fragile, a bed is often their total living environment.” Deguire said more than 180 beds are needed for the four facilities.The fundraising campaign is a joint effort of foundations working on behalf of the four long-term centers of La Pommeraie: the Volunteer Committee of Sutton, La Fondation Les Foyers Famham, La Fondation Lévesque Craighead, La Fondation du Centre d’Accueil de Cowansville and The Association of Foundations Les CLSC et CHSLD de La Pommeraie She said most of the area’s larger industries have been approached and a telephone campaign targeting the general public is currently underway to raise money for the adjustable electric beds, which cost more than $3,500 each.The campaign target smaller businesses next.Volunteers are also organizing a pancake breakfast for Sunday, March 5 from 9 to 11:30 a.m.at La Brasserie de la Rivière, 204 River Street in Cowansville.All proceeds from the breakfast will go to purchase of beds for La Pommeraie.Deguire noted that donors who wish to stipulate that their gifts be used for a specific facility are welcome to do so: unless otherwise specified, donations will be distributed pro rata across the four long-term care facilities.Donations may be made in cash, cheque, or credit card, by lump payment or spread out of several years.All donations are tax deductible.For additional information concerning the gifts, contact Susan at (450) 263-6286 or by e-mail at susandeguire@videotron.ca.For further information concerning the March 5 pancake breakfast, contact Maryse Vaudry or

millennium project.This completed endeavour will restore the church to its original capacity.This area is badly needed for special events such as the Christmas Carol Service, some weddings and some funerals as well as any other events calling for a larger seating capacity than now exists.Organist required With the retirement of Mrs.Jean Webster as organist, after 25 years of dedicated service, the church is now on the lookout for a church organist.Creek is very fortunate to have Don Pa-triquin, Don Wilson and Judy Gray on a part-time basis at pre- sent.Bring-A-Friend The congregation is having a “Bring-A-Friend’ Sunday on March 19.This service is an opportunity for anyone in the local community to come out and see what makes Creek United such a welcoming, vibrant, growing church.Other upcoming events are a confirmation class, the spring rummage sale as well as a casserole supper and special Easter events.The Bring-A-Friend Service will be followed by a pancake and sausage breakfast.It is the hope of the church members that many young married couples and their children will turn out for this event.We would like very much to build up the numbers in our Sunday school as well as the general congregation.Women’s Group The Creek Church Women’s Group has opened the new millennium with a fresh slate of Officers.Nancy Seaman is the new President of this growing group of busy, talented women now numbering 23 members.Lynn Meleg, vice-president, Connie Smith, treasurer, Pat Quilliams, secretary, Florence Burnham, recording-secretary, Anna Eichenberger is in
