question period started good with questions and answers flowing both ways, fairly quickly and precise without major problems.That is until a gentleman (may God forgive me for using that word) took the mike and began his usual spiel.Now, opposition is good; it stimulates the mind and any debate.That is if both sides obey the same rules to any controversy.Short, exact and equal time.Despite several warnings by the moderator, about time over-run, the man, as in the past, kept droning on and on.Shouting, and people believing all this to be very funny.Well, I\u2019ve heard it too often, and left.my apology to panel and council.I might have been wrong in doing so, but I am tired of listening to the same complaints and arguments over and over.No, I don\u2019t know the best answer, so the only thing left is to vote and hope everyone else will, so maybe we can get this settled.This is how a simple citizen saw and sees it.By the way, I was not born here.I chose this corner of our beautiful country to put down my roots, and even one day to get buried here.But lately\u2026 YOURS TRULY, WOLF KUTSCHKE WEST BOLTON Hello!

A guest of the day will be the Rev.David Spivey who led the church for two years after the long service of Rev.Stewart Clarke.He was supposed to be an interim minister for one year, but his mandate was lengthened by a year.During his tenure was the three-week ice storm of 1998.David was renowned for his homemade bread made for communion Sundays.To celebrate the anniversary on Sunday, June 9, a special covenanting service for the inauguration of Rev.David Lefneski, will be held at 2 p.m.followed by a rousing performance by the Union United Gospel Choir from Montreal.If you have never heard the choir, this is an opportunity not to be missed.The floor of the church will be moving as the audience responds to their incredible sound.A freewill offering will be collected during the service.To continue the celebration, light refreshments will be offered downstairs when the afternoon\u2019s festivities are over.Photos: Bottom left: Emmanuel United Church in Cowansville will be celebrating

BromeCountyNews PAGE 8 T uesday , June 4, 2019 Submitted by Brome County Historical Society In May 2019, the Brome County Historical Society (BCHS) took a deep dive into its textiles and garments collection in preparation for a new temporary exhibition opening in July 2019.Within the collection are multiple wedding dresses each more beautiful than the last.However, many of our wedding dresses are not in the \u2018traditional\u2019 white but are instead made of brown, grey, or pastel-coloured fabrics.As more twenty- first-century brides choose to eschew the white bridal uniform, it is important to acknowledge that the tradition of the white wedding is barely one hundred years old and is, in fact, a product of the nineteenth century.In 1840, Queen Victoria shocked the Western World by wearing a white dress to her wedding to Prince Albert.Before Victoria, red was the colour of choice for most royal brides in Europe and although Victoria was not the first British Royal to wear white \u2013 that honour falls to Philippa of England, daughter of Henry IV, who wore white to her wedding to Eric of Pomerania in 1406 \u2013 her choice of dress caused quite a stir.White wedding dresses slowly grew in popularity in Britain following Victoria\u2019s wedding but only reached Canadian shores in the 1890s.As of the turn of the nineteenth century, white, cream, and ivory wedding dresses became more common and eventually overtook the other colours previously favoured by Canadian women.By the 1940s, the white wedding dress had solidified its newfound status, becoming the new norm throughout Canada.The collection of the BCHS testifies to the transition from non-white to white wedding dresses at the turn of the twentieth century.Grey and brown fabrics dominate our selection of nineteenth- century wedding accoutrements, but the year 1899 punctuates the end of the century with the appearance of our earliest white wedding dress (see picture).Prior to becoming the norm in the 1940s, white wedding dresses were considered a form of conspicuous consumption \u2013 a way for a bride\u2019s family to showcase their wealth.As it were, few were the women who could afford to buy a white dress that would only be worn on their wedding day and thus, many women opted for the versatility afforded by a non-white dress that could be worn for other formal occasions.To learn more about the evolving history of women\u2019s fashion in Brome County visit our new special exhibition opening to the public with a free wine & cheese vernissage on Friday, July 5.Right: Wedding Dress,

presented annually to a group of volunteers or organization in the heritage sector that has made an outstanding contribution to its community and to the celebration and preservation of our collective memory.At its annual convention, held this year in Knowlton, June 1 to 2, QAHN presented this prestigious award to the Potton Heritage Association.Representing the association for the occasion was its hard-working president Sandra Jewett.Founded in 1990, the Potton Heritage Association will celebrate its 30th anniversary next year.A major focus of the association\u2019s energies recently has been the restoration of the Mansonville round barn.Over the last ten years, this historic building had been deteriorating, and, despite this, a group of dedicated citizens continued their efforts to secure the necessary funding for the barn\u2019s much-needed restoration.Donations and a grant from Canadian Heritage, now totalling $645,000, enabled the beginning of the restoration last November.Future plans for the building include exhibition space, markets for local produce and crafts, a community garden, and meeting space for a variety of activities.In 2017, Potton Heritage produced the exhibition \u201cTourism in Potton at the Turn of the 19th Century,\u201d which was a full year in its preparation.In 2016, the association mounted an exhibition on covered bridges.These productions required a large effort on the part of volunteers, and were expensive to mount.A bilingual publication, Histoire Potton History, is published by the association twice annually, and features articles of local interest written by local authors.This publication is now in its sixth year.Over the years, Potton Heritage has produced an impressive array of other print publications on a range of topics pertaining to the history, lore, and built heritage of the local villages and hamlets around Potton Township.Currently, volunteers are working to upload materials to the association\u2019s website, and there are plans to digitize the collections of archived photos.The organization hosts regular activities in summer and winter.These include excursions such as snowshoe treks and ice-?shing, with lunches included.Since 2011, Potton Heritage has participated in the selection of winners of the Culture and Heritage prizes awarded annually by the Potton Cultural and Heritage Committee.A project for funding has been submitted to the municipality for 2019.The association already has the basis for some excellent \u201cvirtual\u201d exhibits of the type that may be seen in the Merry House in Magog.According to QAHN Executive Director Matthew Farfan, the Potton Heritage Association and its volunteers are \"tireless advocates for the preservation of local heritage and the dissemination of local history.\" QAHN, he said, \"salutes the value of the work being done by the association, and we wish them continued success in the years ahead.\" 2019 Richard Evans award goes to the Potton

the grill brings a whole new dimension to plain old Caesar salad.To develop good char and maintain crisp lettuce without ending up with scorched, wilted, even slimy leaves, we used sturdy, compact romaine hearts, which withstood the heat of the grill better than whole heads.GRILLED CAESAR SALAD Servings: 6 Start to finish: 30 minutes Dressing 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 garlic clove, minced 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 2 anchovy fillets, rinsed 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil Salad 1 (12 inch) baguette, sliced 1/2 inch thick on bias 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 garlic clove, peeled 3 romaine lettuce hearts (18 ounces), halved lengthwise through cores 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese For the dressing: Combine lemon juice and garlic in bowl and let stand for 10 minutes.Process lemon-garlic mixture, mayonnaise, Parmesan, vinegar, Worcestershire, mustard, anchovies, salt, and pepper in blender until smooth, about 30 seconds.With blender running, slowly add oil until incorporated.Measure out and reserve 6 tablespoons dressing for brushing romaine.- For a charcoal grill: Open bottom vent completely.Light large chimney starter filled with charcoal briquettes (6 quarts).When top coals are partially covered with ash, pour evenly over half of grill.Set cooking grate in place, cover, and open lid vent completely.Heat grill until hot, about 5 minutes.- For a gas grill: Turn all burners to high, cover, and heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes.Leave all burners on high.For the salad: Clean and oil cooking grate.Brush bread with oil and grill (over coals if using charcoal), uncovered, until browned, about 1 minute per side.Transfer to serving platter and rub with garlic clove.Brush cut sides of lettuce with half of reserved dressing.Place half of lettuce, cut side down, on grill (over coals if using charcoal).Grill, uncovered, until lightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes.Transfer to platter with bread.Repeat with remaining reserved dressing and lettuce.Drizzle lettuce with remaining dressing.Sprinkle with Parmesan.Serve.Nutrition information per serving: 443 calories; 289 calories from fat; 32 g fat (5 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 15 mg cholesterol; 815 mg sodium; 30 g carbohydrate; 4 g fiber; 2
