Kinloss Kairshea
WI meets in
Lucknow for
March
The Agricultural meeting of the Kin-
loss Kairshea W.I. was held at the Luc -
know town hall on March 20.
President Joan Murray opened the
meeting with the Opening Ode and
Mary Stewart Collect and then read
an "Irish Blessing."
A lovely lunch of cake and ice cream
was served by Marg Stanley and Char-
lene McEwan.
After Lunch, Roberta Whytock
introduced guest speaker Mary Lind-
say, owner and operator of Dream
Dogs Dog Grooming. Mary explained
how important it is to train and to
build a good relationship with any
new puppy. The first year of a dog's
life is the most important time to train
a puppy as they will remember this
training for the rest of their life.
Mary gave us many tips on puppy
behaviour and proper training skills.
Charlene McEwan thanks Mary for
a very informative presentation and
she also read about "St. Patrick's
Life."
Alice Ritchie read the scripture,
"Advice on Lent" and "Spring Time."
Erima Haldenby read the minutes
and Kathy Gibson gave the financial
report.
June Gilchrist gave an excellent
report on the District Directors Meet-
ing in Chesley that she attended.
The roll call "Name one of your
favourite pets" was answered by 13
members and one visitor.
Charlene closed with an Irish Bless-
ing and "0 Canada."

Purple Grove meets for March
Purple Grove News
Mary Anne Kukoly
Shirley and Doug MacDonald
enjoyed a visit from her brother Garry
and wife Donna, Kailin and Kloe of Sea -
forth on Sunday afternoon.
Florence, Dianne, Karen and Marsha
Farrell had a good visit and lunch with
Joyce Farrell on Tuesday.
Welcome to Jim and Bonnie Mas-
chke, Samantha and Madison to Purple
Grove!
Dianne Simpson and Fran Farrell
attended Canada Blooms on Saturday
and enjoyed the tulips, hyacinths and
displays at the Direct Energy Centre in
Toronto.
Our sympathy is sent to the family of
the late Doreen Young formerly of Kin-
loss. Doreen was a Collins raised in Pur-
ple Grove. Sympathy too to the family
and friends of Edith Fyvie formerly of
Ripley.
Mary Anne Kukoly hosted a fund
raiser brunch and a card party on Fri-
day for the Purple Grove Community
Centre. A good time was had by all who
attended the two functions.
Sunday afternoon Mary Anne
traveled to Holstein to visit with cousins
Dianne and Wayne Orr. Darn shame
this spring that the roads were snow
drifted. There is still snow in the air
even if we have had reports of robins,
killdeer and red -winged blackbirds
being spotted.
Also a reminder ladies that the WI
meeting will be April 9, not April 2.
H -K joins wind turbine coalition
Steven Goetz
Kincardine News
The township of Huron-kinloss threw
its support behind a municipal coali-
tion to draft, pass and defend a noise -
nuisance bylaw targeting industrial
wind turbine developments, and
pledged $5,000 to fund its efforts in a
resolution passed by council at its Mar.
17 meeting.
The decision follows a presentation
at the Mar. 3 council meeting from
North Perth Councillor Warren Howard
on behalf of a working group of local
anti -wind activists and representatives
from at least 21 municipalities.
The group proposed a coalition of
municipalities to share the cost to draft
a noise nuisance bylaw targeting wind
turbines and to defend the bylaw in
court against expected challenges from
wind companies and the Ontario
government.
The proposal relies on the legal opin-
ion of a lawyer hired by local anti -wind
group Huron -Kinloss Against Lake-
shore Turbines (HALT). The opinion
says that municipalities can regulate
industrial wind turbines to protect the
"health, safety and well-being of per-
sons" and curtail "public nuisances"
related to noise despite Ontario's con-
troversial Green Energy Act (GEA),
which stripped municipal zoning and
planning powers related to renewable
energy projects.
Drafting a generic bylaw that could
be used in most municipalities will cost
between $30,000 and $50,000, and
another $250,000 to defend in court,
according to the plan presented to
council.
The decision follows the lead of Kin-
cardine council, which passed the first
motion in support of a coalition and
pledged $30,000 over two years at a
meeting in January. The wording of the
motion passed by Huron -Kinloss was
virtually identical to Kincardine's.
The funds won't be made available
until: "an acceptable threshold for
membership funding is achieved; a
memorandum of understanding is
agreed upon among coalition members
that includes a written pledge for fund-
ing from each member; [and] a plan is
presented that included the basic steps
necessary to move the process forward,
decision-making and administrative
structure and methods of accountabil-
ity in terms of handling funds."
