THAT
Storm conditions Monday and
Tuesday have created problems in
producing this week's Sentinel on
time. Lack of mail delivery
Monday and Tuesday coupled with
blocked country roads, have delay-
ed advertising and news. Ripley
and Whitechurch news, which we
were able to personally pick up
Monday, appears in this issue, but
some of the rural news did not
arrive at our office. The Sentinel
prints at the central printing plant
in Goderich at 6 p.m. Tuesday, but
as this is written, the road to
Goderich is blocked and the paper
could be delayed.
