Sherbrooke, Quebec, J1K 1A1.Second class registration number 1064.Member of Canadian Press Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation After 100 By Sharon McCully DUNHAM — From tinsmithing to the lightening evaporator to Ultraport, Small Brothers Inc.has managed to survive as a family business through 100 years of economic and industrial turmoil.Situated in the tiny village of Dunham, the town’s leading industry had its origins as a choice overnight stop and stagecoach station, the Seedly Hotel.Steve Selby, manager of the century old company which manufactures maple syrup evaporators, recalls the company’s beginnings.“In 1890.Colonel Small came over from Scotland with his two sons, Stephen and Reid,” Selby recalled from his office in the historic building this week.“The Small family settled on a farm in Dunham, and made maple syrup each season in a flat pan.” Selby said Small’s sons Stephen and Reid sidelined as tinsmiths making cans and flat top maple syrup evaporators.HOT SPOT Meanwhile business at the town’s Seedly Hotel, once a hot spot, began to decline.Colonel Small bought the building — which included a branch of the Eastern Townships Bank — for his sons to establish their tinsmith business on a more solid foundation.“In its prime, the Seedly was the main stopover for travellers en route from Boston to Quebec City,” Selby pointed out.The hotel’s archway where the stagecoach would enter to deposit travellers inside the hotel remains intact today.“I remember when my grandfather later bought the buisness, the stables were still behind the building," Selby recalled from his boyhood years.The highlight of the hotel was its third floor ballroom and “swinging” stage, Selby said.The mobile stage was supported by springs, causing it to swing with the band on stage.Shortly after the Small brothers set up shop at the former hotel, they encountered an inventor named James Reid who believed he had discovered a way to produce maple syrup faster and more efficiently by using corrugated metal.NEW IDEA The brothers latched on to the idea and began manufacturing the first “lightening evaporator”.The demand was so great for the new maple syrup equipment, that one brother branched out across the border opening a plant in Rich-ford Vermont to deal with the U.S.market.The death of one Small brother in 1928 prompted Oscar Selby, to buy the Dunham company.At the time, Oscar Selby ran the town’s general store and was considered one of the town’s leading citizens.In fact many remember him as the man who brought electric power to Dunham.“My grandfather learned that electricity would not be supplied to towns unless somebody owned a large motor of a certain capacity.” the younger Selby recalled.'When The RECORD—Thursday.September 13, I99(>—B3 years Small Brothers are thinking big my grandfather heard that, he bought a motor and called the electric company.Amid great fanfare, the town’s first electric bulb was lit.” Oscar Selby also owned the first town father to own a car.“He bought it in Boston and I believe it took about a week for him to get from Boston to Dunham with it,” laughed his grandson.After the death of the second Small brother, the U.S.arm of the company was purchased by a distant cousin of Selby’s.SON TOOK OVER Some 20 years later, Selby’s son Rowland came on board and began running the Dunham company.“My father earned $15 a week-a dollar more than he was making at the bank-plus room and board upstairs,” recalled Selby.“Eventually he bought and paid for the company from his father.” Steve Selby joined the business at the entry level in 1969, learning the manufacturing end of the business from the ground up.By 1977 the father-son team had doubled production facilities at the plant, and had carved a niche in the leading edge of technology in the maple syrup industry.Shortly afterward, the Selbys es-tablished a branch of Small Brothers in Swanton, Vermont to serve its American based customers.In 1984, shortly after the death of Rowland Selby, Tom, a banker, joined his brother Steve in running the operation.MAIN PRODUCERS In spite of the fact Quebec accounts for 70 per cent of the world’s maple syrup production, Selby says some 50 per cent of his demand for equipment comes from the U.S.“Quebec produces between 30 to 40 million pounds of maple syrup annually, while all of the U.S.produces about 3 million pounds,” he said.However, Selby says American producers spend more money on new equipment.“When the Canadian government gives farm subsidies, maple producers invest in new equipment,” Selby said.“Otherwise they will get by with their outdated equipment.” Still, Selby continues to manufacture his top of the line equipment from his Dunham-based operation.With manufacturing plants on both sides of the oarder, the Selby’s were in a no-lose situation when the government brought in free trade.Selby claims free trade actually helped his Canadian interests.MATTER OF TIME "Before free trade, there was no duty on maple syrup equipment, but there was a growing protectionist attitude developing in the U.S.,” Selby said.“It would only have been a matter of time before maple syrup equipment was thrown in with other farm equipment and taxed at the border.” While production costs and manpower are cheaper in the U.S., Selby said it’s unlikely the brothers would move the operation to the United States.“Our workers here are craftsman,” explained Selby.“There is no school you can go to learn to manufacture this equipment.” The skills have been passed down from generation to generation.One family employed at the Dunham plant has been producing maple syrup equipment for the last four generations, he said.But the Selby brothers weren’t putting all their eggs in one basket.When the maple syrup industry began to slide a few years ago because of a surplus on the market, the brothers decided they had better diversify if they were to keep the century old family business alive.ULTRAPORT Identifying a need fc international companies to have a presence in the country of business, the Sel- bys established a service they called Ultraport.The service allows Canadian companies doing business in the U.S.and American companies doing business in Canada to establish a branch office without a physical presence.Ultraport provides companies with a telephone, address and fax number in Canada.The service helps eliminate border problems, by stocking materials for sale to customers in the U.S.in one of the Selby distribution centers.As well.Ultraport has a production facility and the manpower to complete semi-finished products in the country of sale.Selby said as a result of the new business, the company is able to employ workers year round at the plant.During the peak maple syrup season, they are busy on the manufacturing of equipment-and during the slower times we have the manpower available to complete production and packaging of goods.Employment at the Dunham plant ranges from 35 to 70.depending on the season A visit to the plant is a stroll through history.Shelves are lined with the distinctive maple syrup cans identifiable throughout Canada and the United States.Wall hangings bear witness to the progress made in the development of innovative equipment manufactured over the past century.Huge pieces of gleaming equipment are a fitting testament to a business which continues to shine and reflect the values of its founders 100 years ago.,, Ig ISISSl!

September 13.1990—B5 Howard Hack well’s garden is his kingdom By Cindy Fisher.COWANSVILLE — If a man’s home is his castle, then Howard Hackwell’s garden is his kingdom, for it is here that he has transformed less than an acre of land into a flower and shrub garden of magnificent proportions.Hackwell's love of flowers and plants began as a young boy growing up in, what was once called Boscobel, now known as Valcourt.His great grandfather arrived in the region in 1850, started the family homestead, and called the region Boscobel after an area in Great Britian.“Our 250-acre farm was a working farm,” says Hackwell."I spent from about the age of 18 to 35 managing the 500 tree apple orchard and eventually I began to sell gladiolas.” “At one time I had three acres of them,” he recalled.KNOWLTON NURSERY The Hackwell’s moved to their present house in Cowansville in the 1960’s and Howard began working for John Andrews at the Knowlton Nursery.He recalls that life was quite different in those days.“The wealthy in Knowlton back then had gardeners, maids, cooks and drivers.” he said.“I was frequently called in to give out ideas on landscaping and garden arrangements, much of this I had learned when I took the Allied Florist course at M ac Donald College in St.Anne’s.” “I often worked with landscape architects, and other times I was left alone to do what I wanted,” he added.“Frequently the homeowner and I did the whole thing ourselves, the architect forgotten.” The Knowlton Nursery was taken over by Cynthia and Frank Wilkinson in the late 70’s and Hackwell worked there until 1980, when he started at the old Geo.H.Robb building managing the flower shop.LIMITLESS GARDEN Hackwell retired in 1985 and is now enjoying his leisure time organizing, arranging and then, it seems, re-organizing and rearranging his seemingly limitless garden full of flowers, and shrubs.“I estimate that I have thousands of varieties of plants in my garden,” he said.“I think there are about 75 different kinds of iris like Bearded, Japanese, Dwarf and Siberian.” Hackwell also has about 60 varieties of lilies besides hundreds of tulips, daphodils and narcissus.Like most gardeners, Hackwell plans his garden with a view to the following season and one of his projects for 1991 is to replant some of his Irises so that they will get better exposure and sunlight.“I want to make sure that all the flowers and shrubs are balanced for height and color while at the same time allowing them to look their best.” HERON VISITOR A small archway leads visitors past borders festooned with colours, shades, tints and tones.A corner of the garden looks over the Cowansville Lake and a green heron — a regular visitor according to Hackwell — makes his home there.He, like hundreds of other birds, finds the tranquility, insect fare, color and respite the garden offers to his taste.Winding paths accented by a St.Francis statue or a small cherublike garden ornament bring the garden lover back, time and time again, to more flowers and shrubs in an endless variety of height, colour and shape.To be able to name even a few would be an admission of talent however, Hackwell, points and gestures, naming them all and giving you an interesting anecdote or useful tidbit of inside information about their planting or cutting.“I have to admit that I don’t always do the right thing,” he says ruefully.“I, too, am always learning but I get a lots of ideas and information from looking at books, other people’s gardens and visiting garden centres.” However.Hackwells talents extend far beyond the garden path.COUNTRY WREATHS A visit to his basement reveals a man with an imaginative streak in the creation of country style wreaths.From the ceiling hang plants, weeds, flowers, ferns, bullrushes am» •*».llglSÊï # .^ * I « M and many never before seen or heard of varieties of flower and fauna, collected, he admits “On drives in the country and, because of this, my friends say I’m a lousy driver,” he said.“I’m always looking in ditches and on roadsides.” Using tough vines or creepers, Hackwell fashions a circular shape and puts papmas grass or spa-gnum moss around it.Then from the abundant bunches of flowers and greenery he slowly and meti-cuously begins to plan, shape and adorn, a little more blue on one side, a flower with a tint of violet somewhere else.The results are delightful, pure country charm that will last for years."My garden is my therapy,” he admits, his words no doubt reflecting how many Brome County residents feel about their garden whether it be the size of a postage stamp or a few acres of rambling wooded paths interlaced with bright annuals and perennials.Now, as all of Howard's friends will tell you, he is also quite the historian, his basement alive with relics and momentos from the past.Hackwell’s Museum would describe it well.but that's another story.The specialists in construction, home improvement, restoration Since 1948 719

B8—The RECORI>—Thursday, September 13, 1990 Sutton recylcing plan faces further delays Local cadets learn leadership skills By Nancy Grenville SUTTON — Local residents face further delays in achieving a recycling program in the immediate future but planning for regional programs appears to have come a step closer to reality.Although the Regional Municia-plity (MRC) committee on waste disposal will probably not report before the end of the year, Enviro-nent Quebec has circulated questionnaires to all municipalities with the intention of directing funds through Collect Sélective to groups of MRC’s joined in recycy-ling efforts.While it is encouraging to learn that the embryo of a provincial plan exists, it is unlikely municipalities can be persuaded to take their own initiatives at this time, and it is important for individuals to continue to remind local councillors of their impatience.The Recycling Committee of Parc Sutton continues to receive inqiries and expressions of interest in means of reducing waste disposal.Two commercially available composters are among the ways a household can reduce its garbage output by at least one third — without the trouble of building their own.Both are compact and unobtrusive and made of recycled plastic, costing about $100.However, they work on slightly different prin- ciples.The first, available through Harrowsmith (Camden East, Ont.) designed to turn kitchen waste into garden compost within a few' months, is two feet square and stands about three feet high.i—RECYCLK—I TALK! The second is described in the recent issue of Organic Gradening and is intended to actually eliminate all but a small quantity of kitchen waste including meat, bones and fat which is not normally included in compost.It is cone-shaped, standing about 30 inches above ground, tapering from 23 inches at its base to a 12-inch lid, and resting on an open mesh basket sunk into a 20-inch deep hole in the ground.Known as the Green Cone, it is available at a variety of outlets or from 6725 Airport Road, Suite 502, Mississauga Ont, L4V IV2.Both composters are in wide use in Ontario where numerous communities have bought them in quantity for subsidized distribution to homeowners, thereby reducing disposal costs.VOYAGES IUHI LIEE T ravel Groups Package Tours Air Sea Land 5151 Foster, WATERLOO, Qué.J0E2N0 (514) 539-0111 We provide Via Rail tickets VIA Rail Canada Tractor Glass Tractor Seats Auto Glass, Upholstery DOCTEUR DU PARE BRISE 398, rue Rivières Cowansville, Qc J2K1M3 263-0246 / 263-9696 * $ By Sharon McCully MANSONVILLE — Summer camp wasn't all swimming and bonfires for three local teens who attended a six week cadet camp this summer.Geoff Davis, Angèle Lachance and Lloyd Eakins, all cadets with the Bolton-Potton Cadet Corps 3022, were selected for leadership training at summer camps in Val Cartier and Cap Chat in the Gaspé.“There were 1200 kids in all at the Val Cartier camp, explained Angèle, and only 400 were in the leadership corps.” Geoff, 15, was one of a handful of English-speaking cadets to attend camp in Gaspé.All three Massey Vanier high school students said the camp also gave them an opportunity to hone their French-language skills.PRACTICE FRENCH “It was good to be able to practise my French, but I was lonesome not hearing that much English,” commented Geoff.Both Lloyd and Angèle attended the Val Cartier camp north of Quebec City.No loafing around in bed for these campers.At 5:30 every morning they were up and at it.“We had classes in topography, communications courses, shooting practise and leadership training,” offered Geoff.“They teach you how to teach,” added Angèle.Geoff’s favorite camp activity Farm SaFeIy —____Owl tEecara Thelma Wright Advertising Consultant (819) 569-9525 FAX: (819) 569-3945 BRUCE RUMSBY & SONS TRANSPORT INC.sand - gravel fill • stone top - soil building of roads septic system house foundation snow removal Sable - gravel remplissage - pierre terre à jardin construction de chemins système septique foundation de maison 1 déménagement de neige 576 Choiniere Road East Farnham, Que.Tel: (514) 263-3415 was targhet practise, while Lloyd leaned towards the wilderness training.“It was really fun to go out in the woods for four days at a time and learn to read the compass and look after yourself,” commented Lloyd.Angèle liked it all.“To complete the training, campers were required to swim a 4-kilometre lake and keep a bag on a raft without getting it wet,” Lloyd said.VERY COLD “And the water in the lake was only 50 degrees,” Geoff quickly pointed out.Angèle was one of 37 girls attending the Val Catier camp.“The camp taught us leadership and responsibility,” Angèle said, adding that the experience has helped her take a more active role in school affairs.“It helps if you want to join the student council or other school groups because you have some leadership training,” she said.Angèle says she is also planning to join the Massey Vanier school band.Both Lloyd and Geoff say the course has helped them grow up and become more independent."You learn to get along more on your own,” commented Lloyd.Both boys say they would like to forge a career teaching other cadets at similar camps.BIG MONEY “I hear you can make thousands,” noted Geoff.The Bolton-Potton Cadet corps was established in Mansonville in January 1989 by volunteers ! he group meets Saturday mornings for a training program, outdoor activities and field exercises.A new session is scheduled to begin Saturday, September 15 at Mansonville Elementary School.Boys and girls aged 12-18 are welcome to join.There is no cost to participate in the cadet program.Deadline for new cadets is October 20.For information call Lorna Allard 243-5759, Gaylor Davis 292-3105 or Doug Wighton 292-3800-or just show up at the school. The RECORD—Thursday, September 13.1990—BH Thrashers: Massey Vanier girls out to get the competition By Bruce Macfarlane COWANSVILLE — Watch out Richmond, Galt, BCS and Stans lead.Massey Vanier’s senior girls’ soccer team wants to ‘thrash’ you — again.Nicknamed the ‘Thrashers’, the Cowansville based high school soccer team is going after their third consecutive Eastern Townships Interscholastic Athletic Conference title this season.The Thrashers, composed of girls from the ages of 16-years-old and over, are going to find the road to another ETIAC title a long and winding one.Thrashers’ head coach Bob Kay has only nine players returning to the team including four founding Thrasher Jennifer Menec, Stacey Richardson, Jodi Cuthill and Tara Mosher.Massey Vanier has fielded a senior girls’ soccer team for eight years but it was only until three years ago the team has adopted its current name (The Thrashers) and it’s motto.We’re going to psyche you out.’ LAST SEASON All of the four original Thrashers want to make their last season on the Masey Vanier field one to remember.“We’ve been together for three years now," Menec said after an afternoon practice this week.“We’re the only ones left.” “We’re going to make Mr.Kay proud of us,” added Cuthill.All four girls have said there is something missing from the original Thrashers team.“There is a lack of spirit,” said Richardson."It’s all different teammates.” Kay has 22 girls trying out for a spot on the 1990 edition of the Thrashers.The Massey Vanier coach is planning to keep 18.Despite one team pulling out of all ETIAC league play in all competitive sports, Kay said his team is ready for action.“Salésien pulled out of league play,” he said.“WeTl play only one exhibition game against them.” “Out of the nine players coming back, five of them are starters,” he said.FIRST TASTE The Thrashers will get their first sample of competition at the Nancy Brown Invitational Girls Soccer Tournament at Alexander Galt High School this Saturday.Traditionally, the Thrashers have faired poorly at the Galt tourney but have picked their momentum by the beginning of the season.“We usually lose in shootouts (tournament) but win the season,” said Cuthill.According to Tara Mosher, the Thrashers should be ready for their season opener next Wednesday when Bishop’s College School travels to Cowansville.“We get what we want,” said a confident Mosher.The Thrashers are going to trying and psyche out their opponents for a third consecutive year.* The four original Thrashers: Stacey Richardson, Jodi Cuthill, Jennifer M enec and Tara Mosher.PHYS Ü phys m mM
