Lindsay cel- ebrated his 25th year of employment at the factory just last month. Percy last saw his brother Mar. 5 when the duo worked a day shift together. "He was a happy-go-lucky bugger," Percy says, describing his brother’s mood that day. Lindsay had been bragging about how he had recently danced 10 squares in one night - five in Cobden and five in Bryson. Lindsay, who loved to square dance, had been urging Percy and his wife to join him and his dancing partner for some time. The next Friday, Mar. 12, Percy and his wife attended the Cobden dance. But along with other siblings, they waited for Lindsay who never showed. The next day, Lindsay’s sister, Melba Wallace, called police. No arrests made, investigation continues LADYSMITH - No, the Silver Maple Hotel in Ladysmith is not being tom down. Rather, the new owners, Greg and Sylvie Bretzlaff, of Ladysmith, are aiming to restore the building to its original condition. As a result, the new addition built by former owner Robert Hitz came down last weekend. The main floor of the original building will be converted to half bar, half restaurant, with each seating about 40 people. The business will be run by Ernest and Cathy Pasch, of Ladysmith, under the name Hotel Ladysmith. "I went for a business number (Monday) and the first question they asked me was if the name was French,” Cathy says. The Pasch’s hope to have the hotel open for May 1, with a grand opening scheduled for May 8. According to the Citizen and Le Droit, Lindsay Lapalme vs. UPA case goes to court in November t4 SOLAR AQUATICS Councillors no-show in Pontiac Fear on the island The murder has shocked and frightened many residents of Calumet Island. The tear of a murderer on the loose is too much for some to handle. At least one elderly resident is staying with relatives off the island until someone is arrested. Many are afraid to even talk to media for fear of what may happen if their name is in print or on television. This is the fourth murder in Pontiac this decade. Last year, Brian Fleury shot and killed his girlfriend, Nathalie Chassie, in their Allumettes Island home before turning the gun himself. In 1991, Jim Tanner killed his estranged wife, Anne Marie Sharpe, and her boyfriend, Dwight Peck, in Clarendon. The Calumet Island murder has made national headlines, with the National Rost running the story under the headline: "Cattle rancher gunned down.” Nearby residents say Lindsay was a good neighbor. Percy describes his brother as good-natured, someone who was always willing to lend a hand. "He was a guy who wouldn’t hurt a fly. "By God it’s an awful thing to go through,’ he says, referring to both the loss of his brother and the unsolved murder. 4 4 I ê LUSKVILLE - Two meetings called by Pontiac Municipality to table a resolution on solar aquatics failed to meet quorum last week after four of the seven councillors failed to show up. Couns. Bruno Alary, Jean-Pierre Gendron, Pierre Sauvageau, and Denise Levasseur-Theriault were absent from meetings on Tuesday and Friday. The meetings were called to table a resolution showing council’s full support of a solar aquatics sewage treatment facility for Quyon submitted by Coun. Gil Fraser. This resolution would limit the project to Quyon’s sewage system and exclude residents with holding tanks. "We’ve been passing motions only to have a veto put on them, says Alary, adding Mayor Bruce Campbell vetoed the last motion on solar aquatics. "No one seems to be serious. "I’m not going to go and spend time at meetings if they are not going to work on this. ” When reached by The Equity, Gendron at first had no comment, but did concur with Alary's decision to miss the meeting. The resolution was to be tabled after council defeated a motion Mar. 22 considered by some to be too negative. Quyon Citizens’ Committee president Don McColgan pointed to the motion’s reference to engineering firm Boileau and Associates’ and Municipal Affairs’ recommendation of a lagoon system and the mention of the lagoon borrowing bylaw twice being defeated at the registry. The new resolution made only three points: the borrowing bylaw for a lagoon was twice defeated; the project’s completion date - Dec. 31, 1999 - "is rapidly approaching;’’ and the "primary sewage problem** is located in Quyon. Another meeting is scheduled for Thursday at 7 p.m. By PAUL MCGEE Equity Reporter PONTIAC - It has taken 11 years, but when farmer Maurice Lapai me appears in Quebec Superior Court in November, his fight against the Union des producteurs agricoles (UPA) could have far-reaching implications for unions in the province. Lapai me, of St. Liboire (near St. Hyacinthe), registered his case with Superior Court in February, 1988 in which he contests obligatory membership in the UPA through mandatory union dues. The UPA’s membership includes farmers, wood producers and marketing boards. The case will be heard in Superior Court from Nov. 1 to Nov. 10. "The government has no right to force everybody to become members of this association,” says Jacques Morin, secretary with Regroupement Producteur Agricole, of which Lapai me is a member.

A considerable number of farmers across the province have refused to pay their dues since the UPA was introduced in the 1960s.

A ¦ .................... I » Natural gas pipeline proposed for Pontiac WAGON TRAIN Rock Marois, general manager of Hull’s Gazifere, one of two companies in the province which provide natural gas, confirms McCrank’s speculation. ‘The most probable route is to go through Pontiac,” Marion says. Whatever route is chosen, the project will be a costly one - nearing the $70 million route if the Pontiac route were taken. The Shawville-Davidson line would cost $6 million alone. Because the area is so sparsely populated, Marois says the federal and provincial governments would have to subsidize the cost by at least 90 per cent to make the project feasible. As a public service, Gazifere’s rates are set at a certain level. If the project is approved, it is hoped natural gas would be an incentive for industries to relocate to Pontiac. Most of the wood logged in Pontiac is shipped out for manufacturing. continued on page 2 Fort, then wind its way up to Shawville, Thome, Otter Lake, Danford Lake, Kazabazua and north to G rand-Remous. This route also calls for a feeder line to be built from Shawville to Davidson, to service the mill, Scierie Davidson. Because Hull’s current line is not large enough to service the added population of Grand-Remous and Maniwaki, the line would have to be dug up and replaced with a larger "Our (route) looks more viable,” says Litchfield Mayor Michael McCrank, who, along with Bristol Mayor Jack Graham in his capacity as MRC pro-warden, met with Facal. McCrank is president of the Local Development Centre. McCrank says it would likely be easier to dig a new line in an area such as Pontiac than to dig up an old line in an area as densely populated as Aylmer. Cheap energy could provide much-needed economic boom Logo needed from the UPA. "I haven’t paid since 1972,” says Wakefield farmer Doug Nesbitt, president of the FFA. "The UPA wants past dues and 25 per cent of the interest.” Nesbitt says past efforts by the UPA to collect included 100 per cent of the interest. If Lapai me wins his case, the decision could set a precedent regarding union membership in the province. Under current law, union dues must be paid whether or not a person wants to be a member. If the court decides those opting out of a union won’t have to pay the dues, there will probably be an appeal. "It probably won’t be settled on the first shot,” Morin says. "There will probably be an appeal, I presume.” Morin says the case has political overtones, and is more than a fight against the UPA. "Everyone knows the unions are in bed with the government,” he says. "And who picks the judges?’ PONTIAC - Wagon Train 2000 needs a logo and organizers are looking to the public for input. At its last meeting, members of the Wagon Train 2000 committee decided to launch a contest for the people of Pontiac to come up with a logo for the event which will see a train of horse-drawn wagons travel from end of Pontiac to the other to celebrate the year 2000. "We’re looking for something to capture the spirit of that frontier era,” explains committee member Lucille Hodgins All entries should be sent to Hodgins at Box 204, Shawville, QC, JOX 2YO. The contest ends Apr. 19. By SYLVIA BARKER Equity Editor PONTIAC - A request by Grand-Remous for a natural gas pipeline may see Pontiac benefit-ting from the cheap energy source. The provincial government is looking at two possible routes to bringing natural gas to Grand-Remous and Maniwaki, one of which includes Pontiac. Earlier this month, the two proposals were presented to Joseph Facal, the Minister responsible for the Outaouais - one would link Grand-Remous to Hull’s pipeline; the other route would cross over from Ontario at Portage du one S ###PAGE###2### Page 2, The Equity, Wednesday, March 31, 1999 FROM THE FRONT ImS 1!

Katherine Hynes Class. Ad/Circulation, Claire Lunam % Dear Editor, I am the owner of the property identified as 45 Chemin Pontiac Station. Properties adjacent to and neighboring the proposed millennium building site have been held by my ancestors for more than 100 years. I am opposed to the millennium project as presented for the following reasons: I have concerns about fire safety. In my 40 years of summering at this location, fires have been fought twice on this proposed site. The causes of the blazes were the passing trains. Having displayed this sensitivity to fire, how is this same property going to respond to public barbecue pits? We are all seeing increased and determined fire restrictions on our private % properties. Even if these facilities are legal, are we going to have a serious problem? Aside from the footpaths into the area, will there be access created which would accommodate emergency equipment? In addition to this, I agree with Kempton Matte in recognizing the oversight in regards to boat launching facilities. My property is adjacent to Mr. Matte's and we also bear witness to the disaster that takes place when the public now attempt to launch their boats here. This location is merely access to the water and was never intended, nor could it support a public boat launch. Rest assured, when users would be unable to launch their water craft at the proposed beach development site, they would attempt to use the access by my and Mr. Matte's property to accommodate them. At the present time, it is a rare day when the residents don't have to put up with someone hopelessly stuck in the sand, blocking all other activities, putting children at risk, littering the area, and polluting the water. Eventually they are pulled out, only to make room for the next attempt. As outlined in the proposal, the natural beauty of this wetland area is magnificent, from the variety of wildlife species to the habitat itself.

Thursday is the deadline for the province to change its restrictive construction regulations which deny Ontarians, and in fact, many Quebecers from working in the construction business. Meanwhile, a date has been set for the Quebec Superior Court to hear the challenge of a St. Hyacinthe-area farmer against the Union des producteurs agricoles (UPA). z'" 1 _________________________________^ ... - ' M*. A. Dave Moore. THE EQUITY Ladies, the bugs are back YOUR OPINION the same successful procedure established by the Bristol Council during the dump issue. The scrutineer will be appointed by council, and as of this date, the auditors of the municipality, Connelly and Koshy, will be asked to count the ballots and tabulate the results to ensure confidentiality. For the record, the municipality purchased the land in 1994 from Stone Container (Canada) Inc. The primary reason the municipality purchased the property was to develop it into another much-needed beach area which was part of the municipality's land use planning. Should there be no need for this type of development, it would be necessary to seek legal counsel regarding our obligation to fulfill the original agreement to the previous owners. The municipal resolution that is attached to the deed of sale states that the property would be used for community-related development and not for a real estate venture. unethical and lacks in credibility. Our council should be ashamed that they would fund your mail out at the taxpayers' expense knowing that your committee has not included all the residents in your opinion poll. Please consider making a change in this decision, Mr. MacKechnie, before it is too late. The farmer is arguing the Charter of Rights and Freedoms says a citizen has the right to become a member of an organization by choice. But all farmers are forced to pay dues to the UFA. And the government has used various methods of collecting it - taking it off milk cheques of dairy farmers denying farmers subsidies who refuse to pay the dues. Renters are also part of community point. On the point of erosion, with resulting maintenance costs and potential for serious liability, I would like to point out that during the spring runoff, high water levels can make most of this wetland area blend seamlessly with the Ottawa River. One spring, a few years back, I was accompanied by Ronald Cadieux of Graham Lodge, and we were able to enter the proposed area in a canoe, from the river and with no portage. When nature chooses to repeat this weather pattern, any structure in this area will either sustain damage or be eliminated. I attended a council meeting which amongst other things was passing judgment on this millennium proposal. The room was full of citizens opposed to the proposal and many letters were read on behalf of concerned taxpayers who could not make the meeting. All of these people are property owners in Pontiac Station. Personally, I have investigated further and have found only one area property owner in support of this proposal. It was also disturbing to see different motivations and conflicting loyalty towards the project amongst the mayor and the various committee members. This visible confusion in no way represents a foundation on which to place a once-in-a-millennium investment It is absurd to suggest the project as proposed would be in any way self-supporting and maintain the spirit in which it was intended - which begs the question of the effect on taxes when the project becomes too costly to maintain.

Open letter to Doug MacKechnie Chairman, Committee 1 am writing to you concerning the recent decision of your committee on the procedures involving the opinion poll being conducted with regard to the Millennium Park Project. I, along with many residents of the Municipality of Bristol, feel it is very unjust not to allow our opinions to count. Many people have lived their entire lives in this municipality and have not been fortunate to actually own their homes or properties. Our opinion with regard to such a grand project does count, Mr. MacKechnie. Should the project proceed and eventually be a burden on the taxpayers we, as renters, will suffer the consequences along with the actual ratepayers. Our rent will be increased to offset the increase in taxes to our landlords. Each resident of Bristol, whether a landowner or renter, is entitled to vote in federal, provincial and municipal elections; however, your committee feels this is not the route to take. Is it because you are afraid of the answer you may receive from these people? Our opinion does not count; however, we will be expected to support fund-raising events to help raise funds to see your project through. Your committee has already stated that one-third of the costs for this project will have to be raised through donations and/or fund-raising. My understanding is that everyone will need to work as one community in order for the project to flourish. Are we not part of this community? I personally feel that the way in which your committee is proceeding with this opinion poll is very Millennium Bristol Leonard Lloyd Bristol The province’s restrictive construction laws, meanwhile, prohibit a teenager from even sweeping the floor at a construction site if he is not a card-carrying member of the Commission de la construction du Quebec. CBC Radio reported a teen caught doing just that was jailed for several weeks when he couldn’t pay the CCQ fine. Slanderous statements misleading Dear Editor, Following the information meeting held on Sat. Mar. 27 at the Bristol Town Hall, I was appalled to learn that a statement had been made that the only reason I was promoting the construction of a road to the proposed park through an adjacent lot was because my son was the owner of the property. Such statements are not only dangerous and slanderous but are also misleading to the people who receive such information. Moreover, the people who begin these falsehoods are of no credit to themselves, nor to society as a whole. The volunteers of the Millennium Committee were cross-examined about the project at Pontiac Station. This approach was used repeatedly for the sole purpose of discrediting the value of this project. The Millennium Committee, which is made up of volunteers, should be commended for its efforts. They have already devoted numerous hours toward the celebration of the year 2000. They deserve our assistance rather than criticism. With regard to the opinion poll, the Millennium Committee has implemented In retaliation, Ontario is threatening to close its doors on Quebec workers. This will be a major blow to Pontiac, a region where many workers have been forced to seek jobs across the river because of the restrictive laws. Workers say if they became unionized, the money they would be forced to send the CCQ would make their fees out of reach for customers. It goes without saying, whether you cast your ballots for or against the Bristol Millennium Park, please remember, your decision will have a long-lasting impact on all the citizens of our municipality. Please return your ballot between Apr. 1 and Apr. 9, 1999. J.W. (Jack) Graham Mayor, Municipality of Bristol Both the plight of the construction workers and the farmers begs the question of the need for unions. As the new millennium approaches, how important are unions? Correction Unions were organized early this century to counter unfair working conditions in mines, factories and the like. Back then, migrant workers worked long hours for pitiful pay. Robert Collins Pontiac Station ENVIRONMENT FORUM But unions have achieved those goals. Employees at General Motors make $20-plus an hour. Quebec’s public sector employees have job security after two years of employment. Fly traps may solve problem of cluster flies By KATHARINE FLETCHER__________________ It must be spring. Cluster flies are falling into my soup. Ten years ago, we were eagerly anticipating May 1, the date when we moved here to the Pontiac. Eric’s father and mother, who have lived in the Kinbum countryside since the early 1980s, asked “What do you think you’ll like least about country life?” Without a moment’s hesitation, I said: “The flies.” I was right. They disgust me. I hate them. When I try to read in bed at night, there they are, blundering into my head, buzzing horribly in the lightbulb. When we renovated our house, we chose our new light fixtures with one major criteria in mind: were they fly-proof? Those of you who’ve been reading my column for almost 10 years may recall an early one on the subject of cluster flies. In 1989 I telephoned a writer-colleague of mine, Dan Brunton, a well-known Ottawa-based environmentalist and naturalist, to ask his advice about cluster flies. I also spoke to scientists at Agriculture Canada. Brunton understood the problem and advised us to check our attic for a dense “cone” of overwintering flies. (I recall him chuckling, and advising me that I might like to ask Eric to do this job!) Well, Eric did climb into the attic, but noticed, advertised in the back of a magazine. This product is called “Dr. Bug.” I will contact them, too, and enquire whether it is an organic product, too. If so, we’re going to try both products out in our homes. Yes, you’ll soon read the results of the Walpole and Fletcher Steele Line Cluster Fly Test right here in The Equity! “Death to all cluster flies” is my personal slogan. Mind you, our two cats will be disappointed. Tigger and Chico are kept amused by the critters. They actively hunt and snack on cluster flies which evidently make “a nice, light snack.” Yum. there was no cone possibly to his relief, if Pontiac have seen windows like that, the honest truth be known. (Brunton sug- either at our own places or at our friends gested taking a large plastic garbage bag or neighbours, up with him, to trap the flies.) The scientist at Agriculture Canada was uuming flies, that traditional spring and of no use whatsoever. He admonished me, fall household activity that one does telling me to wash my dishes and not be repeatedly, throughout the day. (And such a slovenly housewife. (I’ll never for- especially just before company comes.) get that piece of “advice.”) A city dweller, he had never heard of cluster flies. Today, it seems many unions have strayed from their original purpose. Now, it’s just a question of power. Who has more? Unions or management? Darryl Bean, president of Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), is a case in point. Granted, the right to collective bargaining is still a useful -and in many cases - worthwhile tool for unions. But too many unions are abusing their power. The time has come for unions like the UPA and the CCQ to become less restrictive and more productive.

Sincere sympathy is extended to Bertha Keogh on the passing of her husband Jim Keogh in Edmonton on Mar. 5 and to other members of the family and friends. Bertha is the sister of the late Olive Hayward of Waltham and a friend of Sister Rita of Chapeau. Betty Ryan enjoyed a few days in Montreal visiting friends Kluane Murray and attending the Claude Monet Exhibition at the Musée de Québec. Betty enjoyed the train ride from Ottawa to Montreal. It brought back memories, she mentioned, of the days she took the train in Waltham to Ottawa as a child. She claims downtown Montreal is truly a beautiful old city. She took the train the day of the storm and travelling to Montreal in the eye of the storm sure is something to be remembered, she said. 647-2731 Waltham Eileen £> •1) TREE REMOVAL, ROOFING & X LANDSCAPING S SERVICE X\ mfi&X/ Labell WET BASEMENT?
