INTEREST.I DON'T WANT TO BE THE LAST CHAIRMAN TO say \u2018Finally I\u2019VE HAD ENOUGH.\u2019 Chairman I im Powell j Pontiac National ?ANDREA CRANFIELD Equity Reporter SHAWVILLE Oct 6.2010 Tim Powell was really looking forward to seeing some new faces at a meeting on Oct.6 regarding the annual Pontiac National Midget Hockey Tournament in Shawville Powell has been helping out with the tournament for the past 15 years and has been the chairman for the last five He, along with eight other volunteers are looking to \u201cretire' and pass on their duties.\u201cWe are trying to drum up some interest, and we are hoping other people will get involved in the tournament,\u2019 said Powell.\u201cWeVe been at it a long time and I think it's time we passed the torch Our kids are out of hockey now, so we're looking for other people to take over.\" The tournament is heading into its 36th consecutive year this coming February It is for kids between the ages of 15 to 17 in AA, BB and CC divisions.Last year 18 teams came to compete.It lasts for four days Teams are chosen to compete on a first come first serve basis The idget Hockey Toui Pontiac National Midget Hockey Tournament is the second longest running hockey tournament in Quebec after the Kiwanis tournament, said Powell Teams from as far away as Florida, Quebec City, Montreal, Toronto, Sudbury and North Bay have played in the tournament.\u201cIt's been around a long time.Teams seem to come back every year and that in itself is something to be proud of; that a small town can put on a tournament of this calibre \u2019 The tournament is made possible because of donations from local businesses, which also enables the board of executives to purchase gifts for the kids in the tournament \u201cOur tournament has been viable financially because of business sponsors in the area Their continued support is the basis of the tournament being 36 years old,\" said Powell \u201cI think it's a class act.We have some of the nicest gifts for the kids, it's nice for them to take away a momento Everything has to come together to make it work so the teams are happy and come back ' Money raised from the tournament goes to chanty and back into the community.Over the years the tournament has given money to nament on thin ice the Pontiac Community Hospital, minor hockey, purchasing a sound system in the arena and more As great as the tournament is for the community, the board of executives is all but ready to retire Powell said the tournament will be safe this year as everyone on the board has agreed to see it through, but he's womed that next year the tournament may not be able to continue if there is no one to help out with it Only three people who are not on the board of executives turned up at the meeting \u201cIt's really disappointing What\u2019s happened is that we're stagnated now We have a great executive, but weVe been together for so long that it\u2019s time for a change,\u2019 said Powell.\u201cIf the tournament doesn\u2019t succeed, it won't be because of a financial problem, it will be because there's no one to run it anymore.* He added, \u2018AU I want to see is some interest I don't want to be the last chairman to say \u201cFinally IVe had enough ' People who have been here a long time are looking to get out I\u2019m afraid it will go under It would be a shame after all these years of hard work .\u2019 See PNMHT page two Breakfast and business ANDREA CRANFIELD Equity Reporter CAMPBELL'S BAY Oct 6.2010 Patrice Dumouchel addressed a handful of people gathered at the Société d\u2019aide au développement de la collectivité (SADC) on Oct.6, giving them fire safety and fire prevention tips as part of the SADC\u2019s monthly business breakfasts in Campbell's\tBay.Dumouchel is a prevention counsellor at Valley Mutual insurance.The breakfasts started in May to coincide with the SADC\u2019s 25th anniversary.There was a short break dunng the months of July and August and now the breakfasts are in full swing once again, taking place on the first Wednesday of every month.There is a different theme at every breakfast and on Oct.6, business fire prevention was the premise of the early morning discussion.Dumouchel explained that when Valley Mutual officers perform an inspection, they look at the age and condition of the electrical panel.If necessary, they can call in a master electrician to do an inspection as well.Aluminium wiring is still accepted in commercial buildings as long as it is modified but it\u2019s not accepted in barns.\u201cThe reason people have it is the cost.We can't open the panel and see inside, we're not electricians,\" said Dumouchel \u201cWe don\u2019t really like it.It\u2019s cheaper, but it's not recommended As soon as we see alumin ium wiring, we bnng in an electrician to see what's going on We are still accepting it however because it's in the electrical code \u2019 Dumouchel went on to explain that Valley Mutual works with a lot of building codes.He briefed the small crowd on fire safety in commercial buildings such as stores and'restaurants, telling them its important that the lights are sealed so humidity can\u2019t get in.Denis Larivière, Valley Mutual General Manager, was at the meeting and explained that pigtail lights are unacceptable because they are dangerous.Even so, more than 90 per cent of barns in Pontiac use them \u201cThey are an accident waiting to happen,\" said Lanviere \u201cThey are very dangerous, they can't take humidity and the bulb is exposed to dust.\" When it comes to fuse panels, they aren\u2019t installed anymore, so when Dumouchel inspects a building and sees a fuse panel, he assumes that it is an older product.\u201cThat doesn't mean it has to be changed, if an electrician verifies it, it's no problem, we accept it,\" he said \u201cWhat\u2019s acceptable one year can change the next.\u2019 Fuse panels can burn when something goes wrong so they can be dangerous when it comes to fire \u201cThey collect dust and once there's condensation, it's like gasoline.\u2019 said Dumouchel.See BUSINESS page two Andrw CmnfwW THE EQUITY The crowd was engaged in the early morning discussion regarding fire safety.Maria and Joel Debplanque had A LOT DF ODDLY-SHAPED GOURDS AND SQUASHES AVAILABLE.THE COUPLE SAID THAT THEY\u2019VE HAD A GOOD GROWING BEASON FOR THEIR PRODUCE.Carole St-Aubm.THE EQUITY Giant cabbiurcs and colourful sourds CAROLE ST-AUBIN Equity Editor MANSFIELD Oct 9.2010 It was a blustery but sunny day, but that didn't deter people from stopping by the fall market at Bryson House in Mansfield on Saturday One last farmers' market was organized by the Fondation des rues Principales in celebration of the harvest season.There one could find the many van-eties of gourds, squashes and zucchi nis grown by Maria and Joel Desplanque at their Lawless Lake gar den.Gail Mathias also had a kiosk set up where she sold her handmade soaps and bath or foot salts \u201cThis market has been very good for me, I sold quite a lot of items,\u2019 she said, adding that her products were also available at the Studio I'Artizan in Shawville.Mathias' products are all made with a palm oil, coconut oil, or olive oil base with added shea butter, almond oil and added fresh herbs.Paul Amyotte from Les serres Amyotte was also on location to sell his truckload of pumpkins, giant cabbages, tomatoes and colourful gourds Amyotte, who supplies local restaurants and grocery stores with fresh produce, says he is trying something different this year He is planning to keep his greenhouse open for the winter months, and will be selling radishes, green onions and lettuce He is hoping there will be a continuous demand for his produce.All of the producers agreed that they have had a great growing season this year in comparison to previous years.Fondation des rues Principales Director, Agathe Vergne, says she is pleased with the way the market proceeded throughout the summer, but adds that while there has been a sufficient amount of producers and good produce, there could have been more consumers attending the markets Vergne is unsure whether they will continue to host the markets at Bryson House or if they will try a new location for them next year.Lissa Laroche, who was accompanying Lvvia Adam, Maude, Médéric and Frédéric Hérault, says she didn't mind the cool weather, adding that it was a perfect fall day She dug nght in to help the children decorate a pumpkin while they were there Hot rhocolate was available on site so guests could keep warm while shopping Make way w for youth CAROLE ST-AUBIN Equity Editor PONTIAC Oct.13, 2010 Recent Make Way for Youth activities took place on Sept 23 to 26, in an effort to showcase some of Pontiac's major tourist attractions.A group of 12 young professionals from Gatineau, Montreal, Trois-Riviére and Victoriavüle, who are in the process of completing their education and are interested in settling in the region, assembled at the Shawville Village Inn before they visited Coronation Cider Hall, Bryson House, Chutes Coulonge and other locations as part of their exploratory weekend.The participants, with various educational backgrounds in psychology, music, education, computers and social sciences were greeted by Carrefour jeunesse-emploi du Pontiac (CJEP) Director General, Sylvie Landnault and Pontiac Warden, Mike McCrank Helping to increase their knowledge of the region, Cultural Development Officer for the CLD, Benedict Kuhn spoke to them about Pontiac's rich cultural heritage.They also had the opportunity to meet with potential employers to learn about job availability in the region.The program, now celebrating 20 years in Pontiac, aims to promote social involvement and integration for young professionals between the ages of 18 and 35 in order to help them discover the many advantages of living in the area.It was launched with the desire to stem the exodus of young residents to larger urban centres.Formerly known as Place for Youth, the program funded by the Quebec government, is one of the many promoted by the Carrefour jeunesse-emploi du Pontiac (CJEP) Presently the program is found in more than 70 Quebec MRCs Other local partners who work in collaboration with CREP are the Pontiac CLD, MRC, SADC, Caisse populaire Desjardins, Centre de santé et de services sociaux du Pontiac (CSSSP), École Sieur de Coulonge, Pontiac High School.CEDEC and Table Jeunesse Outaouais to name a few Many local organizations and businesses have also shown their support of the program throughout the years When it is possible, a new recruit mill be matched with a potential employer in a field where there may be a current or future demand to be filled, but all the participants must undergo a ngorous screening process before they are accepted for an exploratory weekend See YOUTH page two Photo »ut>m«#icc t the I\u2019< mriac since 1883 Celebrating two successful years of harvest the good old-fashioned way in Bristol CAROLE ST-AUBIN Equity Editor PONTIAC Oct 9.2010 The sun shone brightly as the leaves fell dancing to the ground.Mimicking the leaves, people inside Coronation Hall danced around and around to the sounds of Wakefield band, God Knows What, in celebration of the Graham family\u2019s second anniversary in business at Coronation Hall Cider Mills in Bristol Complementing the band's self-descriptive sound of Celtic, Irish, Scottish, Québécois music with a dash of Cajun and Klezmer mixed-in, Cape Breton-born Ananda Kelly who calls square, Celtic and ceilidh (traditional Scottish-Irish) dances.Spectators were immediately enthralled with the upbeat sound from the moment they arrived It wasn't long before their feet were moving on the old wooden floorboards of the 1939 hall Reminiscing as they enjoyed the music, were Winnie and George Pirie, who recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary \u201cThis is where we had our wedding reception,\u2019 they told The EkjuriY, as they smiled at the many memories they shared in the old dance hall They said they were very happy to see it being used to host dances once again, and were enjoying the music.Harold Johnson, who\u2019d recently been to Coronation Hall Cider Mills on an organized tour said he heard about the dance then.He came all the way from Cobden with his daughter and a friend to enjoy an evening of dancing.\u201cI live in a nursing home in Cobden and I don't get out much, but when 1 heard about this I wanted to come and dance,\u2019 said Johnson with a smile.Earlier as part of their anniversary celebration, the Grahams were offering a savoury soup and a bun for sale in the adjoining tea room, as a continuous flow of people stopped by to buy some fresh baked goods.Norma Graham said, \u201cIt\u2019s hard work, but it's also a lot of fun.She says they enjoy meeting folks all over the world.Some of the accomplishments Greg Graham said they were most proud of in the past year of business was receiving the Pontiac Chamber of Commerce and CLD\tPontiac s Entrepreneurship Award, Also, having been the recipient of an agro-innovation award, the Êrard Séguin pnze that emphasizes the exceptional path of an outstanding person in agriculture in the Outaouais Region Other milestones in the family owned and operated business was obtaining their alcohol permit, allowing them to produce alcoholic cider, as well as the theatre production of the Dagg Haunting produced by Greg Graham and performed by the Pontiac Community Players.\u201cWe're hoping to host more cultural events next year,\" said Greg Graham, adding that he envisioned a murder mystery for July and a mam theatre production in July New raspberry flavoured cider and hard cider were also added to their list of produce this year, as well as some mechanized equipment that will help them speed up production in the press room.Greg adds that he's been expenmenting with a cranberry-apple flavour and that he\u2019d like to bring in some new flavours for next year\u2019s production in both the regular and hard ciders.Also, the Grahams have been accepted as producers for the Marché de la Solidarité Régionale de l'Outaouais, an internet store, or e-market.Members order the fresh produce through online orders and once the Grahams receive the order they deliver the goods once a week, and the company itself delivers them to the clients.\u201cWeVe only just started Corote Sl-Aubto.1HE EQUITY A group of participants enjoyed line dancing under the tutelage of Suzie

Chichester, a broad peripheral view of the valley suddenly opens even wider to showcase Northfork Country Kitchen Bed and Breakfast sitting against a mountainous backdrop at Art and Frances Fleming's homestead Frances, a retired teacher, and Art a retired construction worker began by offering sleigh ndes in 1988, and it wasn't until 1992 that began catering meals on a small scale But it is a scale that has grown, according to Frances who says, \u2018It works for us, because we\u2019re always booked solid.* Art jokes that he hasn\u2019t retired, but rather, that he has merely changed jobs.Somewhere along the line the couple began renting out a cabin on a mountain, just a five-minute walk away from their home Since then the Flemings have added two guest houses for accommodations, and when they began the B & B about 10 years ago, they also made two extra bedrooms in their home available to customers.\u201cWe have these four ladies who have been tenting the cabin on the mountain for the past 19 years.They come twice a year,\u2019 said Frances, \u201cthey just love here.\" Perhaps what keeps them the busiest at Northfork is when they are working to preparing to cater a reception.The biggest one held so far numbering well over 500 guests.\u201cWe hosted the last wedding of the season on Oct.2 and it went beautifully,\" said Frances.\u201cWatching them working in the kitchen is like watching a dance,\u2019 said guest Pat Chittick, a retired teacher from Maine, who had just witnessed a dinner hosted at the B & B the previous night \u201cEverything just works seamlessly it seems,\" as she continued in amazement.The Flemings already have eight weddings booked for next summer.\u201cAlmost every Saturday from the end of June is booked,\" said Francis.Adding, \u201cWeekends are big But we're busy the whole year Staff parties begin at end of November and run until after Christmas in January or February.Despite both having overcome health issues in recent years, the Flemings say they just keep going \u201cWhat would we do out here if we didn't have people coming over like this,\" Frances questioned, adding however that if they don't feel like opening, they just dont do it.Designated a three star B fk B accommodation by Québec Hébergément, the Flemings have played host to visitors from around the world.\u201cWeVe had a lot of people come from all over Canada, the U.S.Europe and Australia WeVe also hosted a Muslim wedding this summer,\" said Frances.For Art and Frances it's all about meeting new people and knowing they are comfortable during their stay.\u201cWe just enjoy the people,' said Art with sincerity.When asked about one of his most memorable moment Art said, \u201cThere's some you like to forget but some you can\u2019t forget.\" joke Art mischievously, but then he began to talk about something that clearly had an impact on him.\u201cThere was a guy who came here last December, he was diagnosed with and was terminally ill with cancer,\" he said.\u201cFour people had to lift him onto the sleigh and then 1 took him for a sleigh ride in the bush,\" he continued.\"Well he walked in here last night to shake my hand and he told me how much he Wr> ij Caro*» St Autxn Guest Pat Chittick from Maine looks rested as she takes a moment to relax on the Fleming's porch.She says she snapped hundreds of pictures during her stay there and says she wants to come back with family members for another visit.Art and Frances Fleming serve up a lot of hearty and wholesome goodness from the warmth of their kitchen.had really enjoyed that nde and said that has never stopped since that day,\" he added \u2018I told him if you come back in December, 111 drop whatever I\u2019m doing and 111 bring you for another ride.\" \u201cJust seeing so many peo pie come and knowing that they feel at home and that they're happy is what we enjoy best,\" said Frances before she began recounting one of her favourite memo ries.\"There were people from Columbia here for a dinner, who had never seen snow before, and we had just had the first snowfall of the year The kids had a ball rolling down the hill in the snow,\" she said as she smiled fondly Art and Frances' daughter Colleen is a retired teacher who just moved back home to help her parents run their business and together with the help of their three other children and 10 grandchil dren, the Flemings feel for tunate that they\u2019ll be able to do this for as long as they possibly can It\u2019s details like the fact that the Flemings grow all of their flowers for their meticulously-tended gardens, with more than 1,100 gera niums planted this year alongside many other annu als from their greenhouse, or the fact that they will give guests an extra muffin or butter tart for the ride back home that keep people coming back to their establish ment But it is receiving a cheque accompanied by letter from a previous visitor explaining to the Flemings how they forgot to pay for their stay, because they felt so at home, that proves there are still people appreciating the hospitality of folks like Art and Frances Fleming, who are always willing to go out of their way to make anyone's visit a memorable one.Shawville Lyse Lacourse 819-647-5932 lysie.wheezy© hotmail.com Happy Thanksgiving!

Etc.\u2019 Another important element to safe winter driving is having good brakes.Besides making sure the car\u2019s brakes are in good working condition, drivers should learn how to stop on the ice and snow without skidding.Motorists should report any squeaking or grinding noises to their mechanic before the winter hits, so that any necessary repairs can be performed.Drivers should also watch for even braking *lf the brakes are grabbing more on one end than the other, you can go into a skid on the icy snow It\u2019s a good thing to have them inspected for the winter,* said Hodgms Some other important things to have checked are the hoses, radiators, belts and exhaust 'Make sure the exhaust is good because cars are sitting idly a lot in the winter and it can be dangerous having exhaust coming in.\u2019 exclaimed Richardson Block heaters need to be working with fine precision For one thing, drivers want to stay warm while they are driving their car but it s also important for visibility \"You should always make sure the heater fan works on all speeds The defrost mode has to work as well as the rear defrost mode If you dont have visibility, you're not driving safely, which puts you at a dis advantage on the road,* said Hodgms A general tune up is always a good idea to have done while the weather is still semi warm, so a mechanic can make sure the car is fully operational They may also find something that needs repairs or needs to be replaced that would have become problematic dunng the winter *A general checkup is recommended for everybody You don't want to be stopped in the road and have your car freezing up,\u2019 said Richardson Mack Mackenzie Motors ltd.547 New Street.Renfrew, Ontario CHEVROLET - BUICK - GMC \u2014Right On time.\toptimum used vehicles tel (613) 432-3684 fax (613) 432-9136 Purchase 4 Winter Tires and Receive an Alignment for only $45 14 Brands of Winter Tires in-stock!

forward.\" Donald worked out the pony\u2019s kinks by tying a plastic bag to the end of a whip.When the pony wouldn\u2019t go forward he\u2019d put the bag by the pony\u2019s ears.\u201cWe wouldn\u2019t hit him, just scare him.He took the notion that he didn\u2019t like the plastic bag and he went and he\u2019s been going ever since.You have to think of something to try,\" he
