Shefford
a re-print from “The Record”
Responsibilities, responsibilities. It’s amazing how many we have. And, it’s surprising that some of us don’t seem to care. How often have we heard: “I guess I’ll get married, and if it doesn’t work out I can always get divorced”. Or, “I don’t feel like going to work today. I think I’ll call in sick”. Or “It’s good enough, who’s going to notice anyway if it isn’t perfect”?
What’s with the human species that makes us feel we can get away with things, believing we’re entitled to steal from each other? Okay, not all of us. But, one has to believe that even the righteous join in the pursuit of happiness, living out lives in controlled environments built by the not-so pure at heart.

Boy is it hot or what? When I come home after work these days I see what seems to be a dead cat on my deck. Smoke (better known as Smoke the Singing Cat) completely collapses in 30 degree-plus temperatures. Imagine wearing a fur coat in this weather.
This whole thing of community radio in Brome Missisquoi and Shefford, CIDI 99.1 FM, has pretty much the same effect on me as the warm and sticky summer weather has on Smoke. It’s an incredible challenge and energy drainer. You know Harry S. Truman’s saying: “if you can’t stand the heat then get out of the kitchen”. Well, the team at CIDI plans to keep on cooking.
All the same, it’s perfectly normal to back away from the heat once in a while, relax and restore the life forces so to speak. However, I just don’t understand why the cat needs to recharge his batteries so much. Hot weather or not, I see him in a sleep mode most of the time.

Radio Communautaire Missisquoi. What is it? Is it a radio station or a warm and fuzzy arts-development organization? Can anyone put a finger on the essence of this “new kid on the block”? I think it’s time to review who we are.
I never know how people are going to perceive RCM. We are multifaceted, producing radio programs, television shows and events. I guess you could say we are a non-profit production company. Our mandate is to operate community radio station CIDI 99.1 FM, and to produce fundraising events for local community organizations.
When brainstorming the company’s “raison d’être” our board of directors, back in 2005, decided that confidence would be RCM’s product of choice; the service it would offer the communities of Brome Missisquoi and Shefford. Right away, even though we felt strongly about our decision, we realized that it might be difficult communicating our goal to the general public.
