,Rick. Conley Is
Winner Of
Kinsmen Draw
Upon completion of the current
Stanley Cup finals, the winners of
the Lucknow and District Kinsmen
draw have been announced.
Rick Conley of Lucknow was the
holder of the winning goal time.
For this he receives the top prize of
S200.00. The other two $25 prizes
were won by Ed Pyper of Guelph
and Isaac Wray of Downsview.
The Kinsmen term this latest
money raising project as very
successful. Just under $800.00 was
realized in the draw and the profits
are to go towards community
service work.
Top ticket seller for the Kinsmen
was Clem Cote. The winning goal
ticket was sold' by Dave Button.
Ironically, it was Garry Sutton,
Rick's employer, who won the draw
last year.
A heated exchange between
Reeve George Joynt and Councillor
Bill Crump concerned procedure in
the handling of a recent hydro
repair. James Boyle, on entering
his driveway off Willoughby Street,
struck a hydro pole, pulling the
hydro service off the adjacent home
of Helen Thompson. The works
department and Reeve had the
necessary repairs completed on the
evening in question and the
following morning. In so doing, the
pole was removed and the service
run off the line on the opposite side
of the street. The repair bill
involved a local carpenter, an
electrician, the works department
and the Wingham P.U.C.
Councillor Crump did not learn
of the matter until several days
later. He felt, that as chairman of
hydro, he should have been
advised of the incident and
consulted in regard to the correc-
tion of same.
When he asked Reeve Joynt if he
had told Mr. Boyle that the town
would absorb the costs, Mr. Joynt
became very angry. Mr. Joynt told
Councillor Crump that requests
had earlier been made by Mr.
Boyle to the works department
concerning the removal of the pole,
because of its location near the
Boyle driveway. He said he did not
say the work would be paid for by
Tragedy struck the community
late Friday evening when Blaine
Morningstar, 15-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Morningstar
of Lucknow, died when the bicycle
he was riding was in collision with a
pick up truck owned by Dawnflight
Game Farms of R. R. 2 Teeswater
and driven by Donald Dodds.
The truck was proceeding south
into the village on Stauffer Street,
the Holyrood road. Blaine, in
company with two friends, was
proceeding east on Wheeler Street,
owinthe-hill-, -neat-the- residence- of
Barry McDonagh. According to
provincial police at Kincardine, the
bike ran into the side of the pickup

Vandals Damage
Ball Park,
Repairs Made
It's hard to imagine what
pleasure could be gained by driving
an auto or a motorcycle on the ball
diamond at the Caledonian Park,
yet some of the locals appear to get
their thrills in this manner, causing
extra hours of toil for community
minded people, and extra costs to
the taxpayer.
Wednesday and Thursday nights
of last week, some local men
spread a full load of top soil on the
ball diamond, using disc and
harrow, correcting the problems
which had been created by the
vandals. Ruts were extensive on
both infield and outfield.
Citizens are asked to be on the
alert and report any future acts of
vandalism. The Ontario Provincial
Police have pledged their support
to the local recreation committee in
eliminating similar incidents.
A new screen will be erected at
the park by the Recreation ComMit-
tee and Kinsmen.
the town.
Crump asked again why he had
not been advised, and Reeve Joynt
said that with a hydro break of a
minor nature, it was not his job to
advise council. Reeve Joynt was
called on the night in question and
visited the scene of the problem.
Councillor Crump said he did not
consider this of a minor nature
when a carpenter, electrician and
works department were called out
on overtime, and the accounts had
been ordered sent to the town.
The question of who pays is still
to be resolved when the final bill
from Wingham P.U.C. is received.
Some of council felt that if the pole
had been promised to be removed,
and if the pole was a hazard, then
council should be responsible for
the normal costs of moving the
service, and not the extras which
were incurred.
During the discussion, Reeve
Joynt told Councillor Crump that
he had better get the chip off his
shoulder, or his life around here
would be a short one.
"Is that a threat" replied
Councillor Crump, to which he
received no answer.
