As police officers from Hull’s major crime unit searched the Cawood Road for marijuana plantations Sept. 9, a man and a woman quickly left their home on an allterrain vehicle. As they rounded a curve, they hit the police ghost car. The woman, 33, and man, 27, both from Magog, were taken to CHRO in Hull with minor injuries. Outside the couple's rented cottage at 583 Cawood Road, police found 220 mature marijuana plants, six to eight feet in height and three feet wide. Police estimate the street value at $440,000. Inside the cottage, police found a loaded sawed off 12-gauge shot gun, a loaded rifle and a piping system used to irrigate the plants. The couple is expected to be charged with the cultivation of marijuana and possession for the purpose of trafficking. % 1 M’S ;:1f 4 vfV- T - Hi v '4 V: % m M i - w m.. -'.1 V w 1 ¦ * f F i '' . t V fi / X X T dr Ik :K ii rv . .#* . » St V:4 *j-I er 1 a ? k ip ra V > L.t. « £5 i f 47 IN FLAMES: Firefighters were quick to respond to lost week’s fire at Morley Hodgins’ old sawmill.

Heather Dickson Equity Publisher Chapeau If a man’s wealth were to be judged by the number of friends he has, then Fred Meilleur is a very rich man. Fred along with his sister Margaret Gavan celebrated their birthdays with 375 friends this past Saturday at the Linus C Hearty Arena in Chapeau. The evening was a fund-raiser for the arena. Appreciative friends and family wished Fred and Margaret well throughout the evening. Special wishes were presented by provincial and federal politicians from both Ontario and Quebec. “Fred is a giant of a man in every meaning of the word” said Renfrew County MP Hec Clouthier, donning his fedora, of the legendary Meilleur. Pontiac Warden Bobby Ladouceur reminisced about the first time he met the legendary Fred Meilleur. “We came up from Fort Coulonge to Chapeau in the late 50s to celebrate St Patrick’s Day. We arrived at Fred’s after 2 am, danced until the morning hours in the streets of Chapeau -the time I became Irish.” "Fred is a great personality in this community" continued Ladouceur. “and everyone respects the name of Fred Meilleur.” Shawn Conway, Renfrew County MPP, praised Fred for his civic mindedness hy lending his 75th birthday to this worthwhile fundraising cause. Pontiac representatives, MP Robert Bertrand, MNA Robert Middlemiss and local mayors shared their birthday greetings with the audience. F Allan Huckabone, lawyer and dear friend of Fred, concluded the public greetings with “Hope to he here at Freddie s 100th because we all need him around.” Sylvia Bakker Equity Editor Smith well liked dedicated volunteer House on the move in Norway Bay Sylvia Bakker Equity Editor ___________ River View Restaurant to the Oakes* Norway Bay lot at the comer of Black Street and When they outgrew their Norway River Road.

You will note that I do not say "of Canada." As party members, my wife and I have never been so ashamed of it since the Mulroney debacle. In our opinion, Mr. Orchard was the only one present who had anything new and stimulating to say. He spoke the "Canada for Canadians" theme of Sir John A. Macdonald and John Diefenbaker that Canadians have been wishing for decades to hear repeated by their politicians. Unlike his opponents, he did not give the worn-out spiel that the party was still babbling when it became comatose in 1993. It was disgusting, but comical, to see those four hungry horsemen doing their very best to disregard the presence of Mr Orchard, terrified that they might be required to deal with a nationalistic theme that is entirely outside of their political philosophies (or comprehension). There is little doubt in the minds of my wife and I that with any one of these "four horsemen" as leader the party is doomed to walk its last few steps to oblivion.

Most of Pontiac’s 19 other municipalities have passed bylaws which will give the Sûreté du Québec power to put an end to such things as drinking on the street or in parking lots, excessive noise and dogs running loose. But Shawville has not passed the bylaw concerning excessive noise because council wants to modify it. The elected officials want the words “unless council deems it necessary” added to the paragraph which prohibits noise that is detrimental to the well-being and peace of the neighborhood. The fear was police could close up the Shawville Fair because it contravenes this bylaw. It’s a far-fetched scenario. Council should be commended for being thorough and not hurriedly passing a bylaw just because everyone else has. But while council waits to go through the necessary steps to amend this bylaw - the 19 other municipalities will also have to amend it so everyone is in conformity for ease of enforcement - the police are powerless to control the noise in Shawville.

An amazing feat. Let's hope this momentum carries over to the Terry Fox Run Sunday. For many years, the local run in Shawville has been struggling to attract participants and sponsors. This year, Terry would have turned 40. His Marathon of Hope - though never completed -raised millions of dollars for cancer research. Although he died 17 years ago, Terry continues to inspire others. Internationally, the number of participants and moneys raised in the Terry Fox Run grows every year. But that hasn’t been the case locally. The participants are usually the same dedicated 100 or so people every year. One of the organizers, himself, usually raises about one-quarter of the total funds brought in. Cancer has touched - or will touch - nearly all of us in some way, whether we lose a loved one or are afflicted ourselves. It is the second leading cause of death in Canada. One in four Canadians will develop cancer, and it is estimated 66 per cent of families will experience the disease among close relatives. Progress is being made in cancer research.

La cueillette de données s'avère donc essentielle aux analyses et aux bilans réalisés par les spécialistes du MEF. Ce système permet en bout de ligne de dresser des plans de gestion réalistes et d'en assurer un suivi serré. L'objectif est de maintenir un bon équilibre entre l'exploitation des espèces fauniques et leur pérennité, dans un esprit de développement durable. Points d'enregistrement Campbell's Bay: 30, rue John, tél. : 648-2108. Rapides-des-Joachims: 167, rue Principale, tél.: 5862595. Les délégataires sont situés aux endroits suivants: Campbell's Bay: Dépanneur Kluke, 1441, route 148. Davidson: Épicerie Denault, 357, route 148.

Pirie Entreprises, 265, route 148. ministère l'Environnement et de la Faune (MEF) informe les chasseurs et piégeurs d'une modification au Règlement sur la tarification reliée à l'exploitation de la faune. Cette modification établit un tarif de 5$ pour l'enregistrement des espèces suivantes prélevées lors d'une activité de chasse: caribou, cerf de Virginie, orignal, ours noir. Il est à noter que le même tarif sera aussi exigé lors de l'enregistrement d'un ours noir piégé. Durant cette période très active, les agents de conservation de la faune ne sont pas toujours disponibles dans les bureaux du Ministère. C'est une des raisons qui a mené à la création d'un réseau de délégataires partout sur le territoire afin d'offrir un meilleur service à la clientèle. Ce réseau de délégataires facilite grandement l'enregistrement du gros gibier. Depuis le 1er août 1998, tous les points d'enregistrement sont maintenant en mesure d'exiger la tarification fixée par la nouvelle réglementation.
