(Photo by Rowsell) Boy killed by tractor By Garey Ris A four-year old Marionville boy was killed May 29 while riding his bicycle near his home when he was struck by a tractor driven by a 14-yr.-old Metcalfe girl. Michael Martel of Marionville died as a result of severe head injuries. The accident happened at 4p.m. The boy was riding his bike equipped with training wheels north-bound on the Russell-Osgoode boundary road -- the Marionville main street. Constable Gilles Deschamps, of the Casselman OPP said the boy veered into the path of the tractor driven by Frenziska Graf, R.R. 1, Metcalfe. Michael was rushed by ambulance to the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa where he died at 5:35 p.m. He was the son of Pascal and Ghislaine Martel and brother of Douglas and Germaine. The funeral was held June 1, from the Warner Funeral Home, Russell, to Notre Dame de la Medaille Miraculeuse Church in Marionville. He was buried at the Russell Roman Catholic Cemetery.

Friday, June8 Page3 New hydro costs shared A new Russell Township bylaw will switch some of the financial load for installing electrical services in Russell Village subdi- visions off the backs of subscrib- ers and on to developers. Under terms of the new bylaw, the Russell Hydro Commission will now share the cost of services with developers. The past practice has been for the commission to pick up the full cost, manager Keith Boyd ex- plained. The cost of providing electrici- ty to new housing developments was becoming too large a burden for the commission's 300 sub- scribers to bear, Mr. Boyd said. He said developers operating in Russell still get a good deal compared to other municipalities where they're required to pick up the entire tab for installing hydro poles, lines, and transformers. He cited Casselman, Chester- ville, and Winchester Village as examples. "We decided on a cost split because we didn't want to squeeze developers right out,"' Mr. Boyd pointed out. Under the new arrangement, developers will pay for lines and poles -- between $200 and $300 a lot -- and the commission will pay for transformers -- about $1,300 per unit with one unit servicing up to eight lots. Mr. Boyd said township council was asked for help in resolving the issue after the commission received complaints about the cost-sharing proposal. The bylaw is a result of council's interven- tion. "One developer was_ upset about the extra cost." The manager pointed out that if the rate structure was allowed to go too high, the advantage of being served by a small utility would be lost. "As it now stands, village residents are paying 20 to 25 percent less for their electricity than those who live in the rural area," he noted, adding that rural service is provided by Ontario Hydro. Embrun also has its own hydro commission. Embrun water -- Casselman link Linking to the Casselman water purification plant is prob- ably the "'safest'"' solution to the Embrun water dilemna, Pres- cott-Russell MLA Albert Belan- ger maintains. Although he would not force Embrun to connect to Casselman rather than hook into a water supply in Russell Township, he cautions that municipal authori- ties better be sure the local source has enough capacity. '"'There might be enough water for five years," Mr. Belanger said. "But in 10 years, Embrun might double in size and we'll be forced to go to Casselman then." Russell Township council is now awaiting the results of an intensive exploration into the capacity of a well drilled at the Marion gravel pit in the southern part of the township. The investigation will cost close to $14,000. Councillor Leo Provost said the "whole population of Embrun"' is opposed to using the Casselman product to fill the village's proposed watermains unless ab- solutely necessary. Council wants to accommodate the wish- es of local residents if possible, he stressed. "The choice of our well or Casselman has been left pretty much up to us by the province," Mr. Provost said. "Everything depends on results of the test at the gravel pit." Sewer and water works are essential in Embrun. The village has been plagued for years by acute pollution in private water supplies. safe solution -- MLA Solution Mr. Belanger reiterated that, as long as Embrun has a sufficient reserve, he doesn't care where the water comes from. But he noted that, if a pipe was installed from Casselman to Embrun -- a distance of 12 miles -- it would solve Forest Park East's chronic water quality problem. The MLA also indicated that there's been interest from Li- moges Village in connecting to the same pipe. "There may be lots of water in the well at first but there also may be a limit to using it 365- days-a-year,"' he said. "There's no limit to the South Nation River." for day or evening. IT'S HERE!
