[" By Matthew McCully Aviron Knowlton Rowing Club (AKR) had cause to celebrate Sunday as two rowers who trained at the club competed on Team Canada at the final World Cup held in Rotterdam, Netherlands over the weekend.Gabrielle Smith, who trained at AKR, won the bronze medal in the Women\u2019s Double Sculls with partner Andrea Proske.Another AKR rower, Kasia Gruchalla- Wesierski, was a member of the Women\u2019s Coxed Eight, which also won bronze at the competition.\u201cYou go where the best training is,\u201d AKR club secretary Rob Paterson said, explaining how the two women ended up in Brome Lake.In May of 2017, rowing coach Gavin McKay, originally from B.C.brought elite training to Brome Lake.\u201cHe\u2019s here to put rowing on the map in Quebec,\u201d Paterson said.Now in its third season, the elite training branch of the club boasts not only the two recent medalists Gabrielle Smith and Kasia Gruchalla-Wesierski, but also two junior rowers Anna Burnotte and Marilou Duvernay Tardif, who are competing in the Under 23 category on the Canadian World Championship team.According to Paterson, Brome Lake has the potential to become a hub for Canadian rowing.While there is an Olympic basin in Montreal, Paterson explained that it is a racetrack.\u201cWith training, you need to be moving all the time,\u201d he said, adding that athletes need to row great distances, something easily done on Brome Lake.Paterson said there are other benefits to training in the area.The athletes that come to the area can be billeted with locals, get a job in town and bike to Douglas Beach for training.\u201cYou\u2019re part of the community, and you can afford it,\u201d Paterson said.\u201cIn Montreal, you pay Montreal prices and you are anonymous.\u201d According to Paterson, the plan for the club is to provide a base for the elite program, while supporting local rowers of all abilities.\u201cAt the moment we\u2019re rowing thanks to the town,\u201d Paterson said, explaining that more infrastructure is needed to take the next step.\u201cWe need new boats every year, and a new boat house.\u201d Paterson said the competition is so fierce that a fraction of a second can make the difference in being selected by Team Canada for international competitions.Boats are fragile, and can be damaged if left out in the elements, Paterson said.He likened rowing to Formula One racing.\u201cIf you don\u2019t have a competitive car, T uesday , July 16, 2019 BromeCounty News CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 Something special in the water in Brome Lake MERIJN SOETERS/ROWING CANADA AVIRON Gabrielle Smith (right), who trained at AKR, won the bronze medal in the Women\u2019s Double Sculls with partner Andrea Proske.

Our topic was another picnic 2,000 years ago, when 5,000 men plus their families showed up to hear Jesus.The time flew by and soon it was getting dark and people still had a long way home.Jesus asked one of his trainees, Philip, \u201chow are we going to feed all these people?\u201d Philip responds a list of problems with the idea that they should feed probable 7,000+ people.Why is it that people are always so quick point out problems?Do they think that that somehow makes them smarter, or worse yet, more spiritual?Nothing could be further from the truth.Jesus inevitably finds possibilities, potentials in every situation.5 loaves and 2 fish were more than plenty in the hands of Jesus.Everyone was fed with 12 baskets of leftovers.Be like Jesus, Find Potentials- not problems!

outlining where the new parking lots will be.It is extensive and taking a lot of time, but the results should be quite spectacular.The work is going well and all the work is expected to be completed by the start of the new school year.Two of the older, and damaged, linden trees have been cut down in front of the school.The peace garden will still be there, but its area will be a little bit smaller.Doing the Heroes\u2019 Memorial parking lot the right way The new parking lots at Heroes' are not just repairs, but complete reconstruction from the base level and up.PHOTOS BY LOUISE SMITH By

collect glass continues to be consistently full.No one could predict how well the container would be used as it is necessary for people to drive to the parking lot between the Super C and the SAQ to deposit the glass.The town of Cowansville and the recycling depot were both pleasantly surprised by the volume of glass brought in.It is a good sign that the container is once again full to the
