By WILBUR MCLEAN Equity Reporter The \u201cinspiring\u201d speech of farmer turned business mogul, Jim Lorraine, held the crowd captive at the Sociétés d\u2019aide au Développement des Collectivités (SADC) Small Business Week event on Tuesday, Oct.18.The event, which attracted 120 small business owners, politicians and interested citizens from across the Pontiac was designed to help entrepreneurs improve the success of their business.Originally scheduled to be held at a smaller venue, the affair was moved to the Forest Inn in Bryson due to the demand for tickets.\u201cWe were expecting 50 or 60 people,\u201d said Luc Dubois, development officer of the SADC.\u201cWe moved it because the number of people doubled.We didn't want to refuse anybody.\" A light dinner of sandwiches, crackers and cheese was also served.Lorraine\u2019s presentation focused on the changes he made to his own farm in Truro, Nova Scotia and how other business owners could apply the same ideas to their establishments.In 1997 he converted his failing beef farm into a family entertainment complex, replete with com mazes, a pick-your-own strawberry patch and petting BRYSON was standing room only By LEAH MILLER Equity Editor CAMPBELL\u2019S BAY\u2014A leaky valve on a water line drove the Municipality of Campbell\u2019s Bay to shut down some of its residential water lines in order to make the required repairs Friday.Campbell\u2019s Bay Mayor Cletus Ferrigan said the municipality found the leak in a pipe in front of the Roman Catholic church early last week.\u201cWe just have to dig and change the valve, and shut off the water to the main line,\u201d said Ferrigan.\u201cWe thought it would be better to fix it now before the cold weather sets HALLOWEEN HAUNTINGS * ?/.I iW 1 (i* *

seemingly answered at the Shawville-Clarendon Library on Saturday, Oct.22.Not a single parent showed up for an Internet Safety seminar that had been planned for weeks.\u201cI\u2019m worried in the sense that its indicative of the fact that people aren\u2019t concerned with this problem,\u201d said Meghan Howard of unsupervised Internet use by children.Howard was the invited guest who was to speak and provide information to concerned parents on ways to protect their children online in conjunction with Quebec Public Library Week.She is vice-president of a website development and consulting firm and has taken a significant interest in Internet safety for kids.Howard suggests the small-town mentality of perpetual safety may be impeding parents from opening their minds to the dangers of the Internet.\u201cYou would never allow a stranger to come into your living room and talk to your children unsupervised,\u201d said Howard.\u201cIt\u2019s called the World Wide Web for a reason.The whole world is on there.\u201d The seminar\u2019s topic was prompted by a number of parents who questioned the library\u2019s policy of requiring permission slips for children to use the Internet.\u201cThey have to understand that I\u2019m not able to monitor every site they \u2019re going on while they\u2019re in here,\u201d said Librarian Jennifer Davies.Davies says the library will get about three to four children per day looking to use the Internet, with those numbers rising during the summer.?\u201cHe\u2019s very dynamic,\u201d said Rogers, who noted \u201cwe ll probably have a com maze.\u201d New Halloween festivities spook up Shawville In previous years, the SADC celebrated Small Business Week with a number of sparsely attended events over a number of days.This year, the Forest Inn evening was the only event held the entire week.Dubois said he was \u201cpleased\u201d with the change, considering the turnout.The SADC provides assistance for businesses.While they\u2019re predominantly known for their loans, the group also aids with business plans, marketing and other related commercial ventures.Events like Small Business Week helps boost the camaraderie between Pontiac\u2019s businesses.\u201cThey realize they have the same constraints and obstacles,\u201d said Dubois.\u201cThey see they\u2019re not the only ones that have problems.\u201d \u201cWe

Luskville.Across the street, the owner of Royal Burger says he\u2019s had his restaurant broken into three times in the past year, with the thieves taking money and food each time.\u201cI\u2019m not
