No action will be taken by Tiny Township council until Sept. 8 when it is expected township law-makers will accept with regret the sudden resignation this week from council of Councillor John Butler. The township official 'was in the process of completing his fourth year on council when he submitted his resignation just prior to the start of Wednesday afternoon's sitting of council in Perkinsfield. The councillor didn't attend Wednesday's meeting. Township officials agreed not to take any action until their next meeting since Reeve Morris Darby wasn't present Wed- nesday to chair the session. The reeve was in Toronto attending an Association of Municipalities' of Ontario meeting where AMO board of directors. Reeve Darby said yesterday he only learned "of John's resignation when I got home late last night (Wednesday ). I was shocked. He served the township well." It's not known what action council will finally take' regarding Butler's replacement. Under the Municipal Act council could pick a township taxpayer to complete Butler's term or carry on for the remainder of the year one councillor short. Whatever action council finally intends to take it's not expected to be announced until law- makers meet again on this beauty. increases for Trillium Cable Communication's operations, Nevison said.

It has laid off 45 employees since then however still maintains a payroll of about 120 persons, a spokesman at KIL said yesterday. Meanwhile a spokesman at Lembo Corporation of Canada here in Midland also noted last week that markets were soft. However he added efforts were being made on several fronts to attract new contracts.

Death in Midland OPP cell prompts inquest two witnesses contradict testimon by Murray Moore During the first day of an inquest into the death in a Midland OPP cell last May of a Victoria Harbour man, two witnesses con- tradicted the testimony of a brother of the dead man about his involvement with his brother on the day of his brother's death. Donald Cadeau told the five-member jury and Coroner Dr. Peter Cameron that he helped his brother out of their mother's Victoria Harbour house in the early evening, and that the next, and last, time that he saw his brother alive was later in the evening when OPP officers answered a call reporting a man lying in the ditch across the street. Janet Cadeau of Victoria Harbour testified that-she saw a man she assumed at the time to be Donald Cadeau kick once Bernard Cadeau as he lay in the driveway of his mother's house on the evening of the same day. She identified Donald Cadeau, who was present during her testimony at the inquest, as the man who she saw kick Bernard Cadeau. Mary Ann O'Shea of Scarborough, who was with Janet Cadeau in a passing car, testified that she saw a man kick a man she knew to be Bernard Cadeau, and identified to her at the time as Donald Cadeau by Janet Cadeau. During her testimony on Wednesday, Janet Cadeau said that on the evening of May 23 she did not know Donald Cadeau by sight, but she assumed that the man kicking Bernard Cadeau was his brother Donald because she had been told about arguments between the two men by a niece of the two men. Bernard Cadeau was pronounced dead on arrival at Huronia District Hospital at 11:55 p.m. on May 23. He died in a cell at the nearby Midland OPP detachment station after first being driven by two OPP officers to the hospital from Victoria Harbour, where the officers found him with a bloody face and shirtfront on the edge of the property of his home, across the street from his mother's house. After he was treated for his bleeding nose, and given a brief physical examination, Bernard Cadeau was taken to the OPP station and put in a cell because he was inebriated. He died about 25 minutes after he was left, apparently sleeping, on his stomach on the floor of one of the two OPP cells. The coroner's jury heard the following account of events on May 23 that ended with Cadeau's death. Donald Cadeau, his wife Edna, his son Timothy, all of Mississauga, testified that on the day of Bernard Cadeau's death he com- plained of being ill and that he looked ill. In the afternoon Timothy Cadeau drove his uncle to Huronia District Hospital at his uncle's request, but Cadeau returned home in a cab a short time later. After going out for his supper, Bernard Cadeau joined his brother, sister-in-law, and friends of theirs in his mother's house. When he began to tap a visitor on the back of his neck, Cadeau was asked to leave. The coroner's jury in Midland was told that ° Cadeau had been drinking heavily and taking pills through the afternoon and early evening. He fell once when he got up to leave, and once more leaving the house. His brother helped him after he fell the second time and returned to the group in the kitchen, he said. When Timothy Cadeau returned from a half hour fishing trip, he and a friend found his uncle sitting in the driveway of the house. His nose was bleeding. Timothy Cadeau, his friend, and his mother helped Bernard, Cadeau across the street to the kitchen of his house, and left him there. William Bellinsky of Victoria Harbour testified that at 9:40 p.m. a man came to him to report a bloody man lying in a ditch on Osborne Street and to ask Bellinsky to call police and an ambulance. Bellinsky, who knew Bernard Cadeau, said that Cadeau told him before the police arrived, 'Brother Bill put the boots to me. y at hearing Who Brother Bill is I have no idea." A statement by William Grescoe of Toronto, the man who found Bernard Cadeau in the ditch, was read to the coroner's jury. In his statement, taken by an OPP constable, Grescoe said that Bernard Cadeau*told' him that his brother had beaten him. Midland OPP Constable David Brown testified that when he and Constable Richard -Griffis arrived on the scene, at 9:50 p.m., blood was pouring out of Cadeau's right nostril and that there was both @ried' and fresh blood on Cadeat. He described Cadeau as being "'his usual belligerent self."' Cadeau tossed or threw a rock that bounced off the cruiser before he got in it. Dr. J. S. Martin, who examined and treated Cadeau at the hospital, said that whén Cadeau | arrived there with the two constablés at 10:20 p.m., that Cadeau's treatment took 30 minutes because of his lack of co-operation. He appeared drunk and smelled of liquor. A balloon was inserted in his right nostril to stop the nose bleed, the only injury the doctor could find. He noted some swelling and redness over the bridge of Cadedu's nose, but did not see any marks on his chest. Cadeau was handcuffed for the trip to the *Cont.on Page 5 Friday, August 27, 1982, Page 3
