Lucknow Central School last Monday. Mrs. little, who has been blind since birth, had
many interesting stories to tell the students about her travels throughout the world and
about the methods she uses to overcome her handicap while writing. Originally from
Taiwan, Mrs. Little now resides in Guelph. She has been writing for 15 years and has won
numerous .awards for her works which include Stand in the Wind and Listen for the

Harsh words exchanged...
from page 1
Murray of Councillor Whitby's argument
with Reeve Joynt.
"I have no axe to grind with him because
we've always got along. He does, as a rule,
get kind of cross. I can't figure him out. I'm
still willing to sit with him (on council) if
he's made up his mind, but Inn not going
to coax him....I'm not going to pursue this
matter any further."
Reeve Joynt says the debate which
promoted Councillor Whitby's anger dealt
with appointing an alternate to sit on the
'./ Bruce County Planning Advisory Commit-
tee e. He says this comMittee meets once or
ttriee a year to discuss zoning and planning
problems each individual town encounters
within the county.
Because of other commitments and
meetings which oonern the town, Mr.
Joynt sayshe is unable to attend the
advisory committee meetings and has
appointed Councillor Murray to be his ,
alternate at these meetings. The discussion
at Tuesday's council meeting focused on
' appointing another council member to
serve as Councillor Murray's alternate,
• thus freeing Reeve Joynt from the respon-
sbility. Council was debating this matter in
response to a letter from Don Scott, senior
planning director in Bruce, who wished
clarification on who the Luclmow delegates
would be.
Reeve Joynt says council had brought
this issue up at the May council meeting
but it was left unresolved because council
couldn't come to an agreement. This, said
Reeve Joynt; could have sparked Council-
lor Whitby's anger.
"We were coming to a decision on how
to handle it," said Reeve Joynt.
Insurance takes jump...

insurance costs on the arena, pool and the
medical centre among Lucknow, W est
W awanosh, Ashfield and Kinloss Town-
ships.
Councillor Ab Murray said he was
dissatisfied with the 38 per cent increase,
but pointed out that council's hands were
tied because of the need fir adequate
insurance protection for the village. He
was pleased with the decision to take the
$10 million liability insurance because of
the upcoming sewer project.
"I feel we need the $10 million liability
coverage because of the sewer project.
There's going to be a lot of open man
holes. If we ever needed it (liability
protection) we need it now," he said.
Council also decided to ensure the water
tower in the village. Up to now, the water
tower was left off the insurance policy. The
water tower insurance added $300 more to
this years premium.
