T-A photo Following a meeting between the councils of Hensall and Hay township only one major objection remains to the village's proposed annexation of 200 acres of township land. At the request of the village which sought the joint meeting, Hay passed a resolution, Wednesday which stated it was in favour of the annexation of 100 acres of land immediately to the south of the village and 100 acres to the north of the community. Roman Dzuz of the_Huron county planning department said the major issue which remains to be resolved is the refusal by the Hum county board of education to tem- porarily bus students who reside along Highway 4 south of Hensall in the proposed annexed area, If the annexation is ap- proved by the Ontario Municipal Board the ,developer of a proposed subdivision has agreed to install sidewalks in the first phase of the development. Residents along the high- way south of the village have expressed concern about the safety of children who would be forced to walk along the highway to Hensall Public School. Hay deputy-reeve Lloyd Mousseau and Hensall reeve Harold Knight 'said that this was a very legitiinate complaint. Both Dzuz and Knight said that Hensall was not requiring a change in board policy but were only seeking a move. which would be temporary. According to officials of the midistr of in- tergovernmental affairs it appears that the local board is being very unreasonable, Dzuz said that 'boards acrossi the province have made exceptions in similar instances. After some discussion it 'was decided by the councils to ask local edification trustee Herb Turkheim to set up a meeting between the board and the muncipalities. In 1979 the board of education turned down a request for the temporary busing of students in the proposed annexed area. The advantage in making another approach to local education officals according to Dzuz is that "they might change their minds" and it , would show to the OMB that the municipality has "bent over backwards" 'to satisfy the objectors. & North Lambton Since 1873 According to Hensall clerk-treasurer Betty Oke there are about four ether objections of a minor nature which will be sent to the OMB. At a council meeting in December of last year the village told residents in the area south.of the community that their taxes might in- crease slightly, that they would not be forced to hook up to the water and sewer systems and rural mail service would be main- tained. Dzuz stated a hearing by the OMB might be called in JanuarYof next year. After Hay council had departed Hensall council passed a bylaw which repealed an annexation bylaw passed in 1979. A new annexation bylaw was then passed.

Local beauty second in test Last year's fair queen Helen Brand relinquished her crown Friday night, but it wasn't long before she was awarded a new title. Helen was first runner up in the Miss London contest held at Western Plaza. Mall Saturday night. She was one of eight semi-finalists chosen from 200 applicants. As well, she was awarded 4 the Miss Congeniality title, Helen received a necklace for her second place finish, In August, Helen Was second runner up at the Canadian National Exhibition for the title of Miss CNE. 'After that she, spent a week modelling for photographs for an ad- vertising agency, Earliet in the summer she acted in the Sunshine Boys at Huron Country Playhouse. Helen is employed at the Junction in Exeter. She is the daughter of Bob and Tinie Brand of 41 Simcoe Street, Exeter. Speed was not the main ingredient in Saturday's challenge cow milking contest at the Exeter Fair. Huron warden Bill Morley who threw out the challenge was the fastest milker, but, finished in a third place tie with Exeter mayor Derry Boyle. Judges Carf Cann and Jack Riddell constructed strict rules and awarded the championship to Stephen reeve Ken Campbell. Hay reeve Jack Tinney was the first to perform and he needed one minute and 20 seconds to fill a half pint bottle, Mayor Boyle was next and during his first minute We§ unable to extract any milk from a very patient cow, With instructions from organizer Bob Hern and Huron Dairy Princess Susan Zielman, Boyle Was able to fill the bottom of the bottle when the judges imposed a three minute time limit. Next came Ken Campbell who only needed 45 seconds to fill the bottle. Warden, Morley was the final entrant and he concluded his task in 42 seconds. The judges with cleanliness and hygiene on their minds assessed penalty points for dirty finger nails and this section caused some problems for Morley. The Huron warden was also penalized for agitating the cow and placing his own milk stool on the judges table. Boyle was the only one with completely clean hands, This consideration along with his willingness to try and drink the milk upped his point total equal to Morley's. In their official verdict, the judges awarded the championship trophy presented by Gary MacLean of Jerry MacLean and Son Automotive to Ken Camp- bell. Aiding Campbell's cause was his fast milking, several blisters indicating he was a hard worker and his gen- tleness with the cow. Jack Wnney of Hay was awarded the runnerup position. Each contestant was "It won't be long now," Rory Hustler says after sitting on his motorcycle for 31 days. But don't, get Rory wrong it's not Rory that's about to give up, He figures that his competitor in Sarnia has to go soon. Rory is still brimming with confidence after sitting on his Kawasaki motorcycle for 744 hours, as of press time Tuesday. He gets offthe bike for a washroom break for five minutes every four hours, If Rory can outlast the other competitor, he will win the value of his bike, which should amount to $2100. The Sit-On-It contest is being sponsored by two motorcycle dealers, Country Corners ip Mt. Carmel, and Lake Huron Sports and Cycle in Sarnia. Tom Horrock is still sitting on a bike in Sarnia. When the contest began August 23, there were 11 sitters in Mt. Carmel and eight in Sarnia. The boys are abiding by strict rules; they never touch the ground while sitting on the bike, and they have no entertainment whatsoever. That means nothing to read, no radio to listen to, no television to watch -- nothing. They are allowed to wear only the clothes they came with; fortunately Rory' came equipped with gloves, jacket, heavy sweater, and a rain pancho. His competitor has a snowmobile suit. Rory says he didn't mind Monday evening's• heavy . rain a bit. "I love thunder and lightening," he added. He said he stayed completely dry under his rain cape, except for his feet, which were sticking out. He took off his sneakers and kept them dry under his cape. But they won't even give him shampoo to wash his hair when it rains, he says. But again, don't , get Rory wrong -- he's not complaining. Rory has never complained since he. sat down on that bike a month ago. He still says he's "gonna win" as he smokes a cigarette wearing his heavy black leather gloves, in the early hours of Tuesday morning, Survey is underway Exeter's senior citizen ad+ visory committee announced this week that a question- naire will be going out this week to glean Various infor- mation.
