Kinsmen to apply fball diamond
Council received a letter from John and
Pat Taylor, owners of the Dryden Manor
Retirement Home on Gough Street, re-
questing financial assistance for the pur-
chase of a chair lift for the home.
In the letter, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor said
the chairlift which would cost between
$4,500 and $7,5(10 is necessary for access to
the upstairs portion of the home. Current-
ly, the home has six residents with a
number of referrals from the Kincardine
hospital put on hold because of the lack of a
chairlift.
As the business is privately owned, coun-
cil would not commit funding to the
chairlift. However, council agreed to refer
the matter to the Ontario Ministry of
Health to inquire if any government fun-
ding would be available for the chairlift.
Ball Diamond Grant
Wayne McDonagh, representing the
Lucknow and District Kinsmen Club, at-
tended the council meeting. He asked per-
mission of council for the club to apply for
a one-third conversion grant from the On-
tario Ministry of Tourism and Recreation
for fencing and- lighting at the Kinsmen
ball diamond.
Since the village owns the property, the
grant will be applied for in. the village's
name.
Mr. McDonagh said the total cost
estimate for the project is $26,000 with the
grant application amount being $9,000.
Council gave its approval for the
Kinsmen Club to apply for the grant. •
Bylaw officer's report
Jack Crozier, the bylaw officer for
Lucknow, gave his report to council at the
meeting.
Mr. Crozier said the instances of junk
and unlicensed vehicles sitting on proper-
ties in the village, contrary to the Property
Standards Bylaw, have been decreasing.
He said a number of offenders of the bylaw
are starting to move these derelict
vehicles off their properties.
He also recommended that council pur-
chase 14 "No parking Here to Corner"
signs to be placed on all village street cor-
ners, especially at the corners of the coun-
ty roads north and south, the post office
corner on Inglis Street, and the corner of
Outram and Campbell Streets were park-
ing has `really been abused".
Council agreed to purchase the 14 signs
and have them installed at the
intersections.
Aerobics Classes
Council received a letter from Helen
Maclntyre asking council for permission
to use the upstairs of the` Lucknow Town
Hall for the spring aerobics classes.
Ms. Maclntyre said the classes were

To the Editor:
Re.. "Ashfield hired new clerk -treasurer"
article.
"I think it's a tremendous opportunity.
I'M looking forward to it. I've "just" been
raising kids for the past several years. I
know a lot of people in Ashfield and I hope I
can do a good job".
Correction: "I've been raising
"children" for the past several years. I
know a lot of people in Ashfield Township
and I hope I can do a good job "for them."
AMany people are insulted by the word
" just" as it sounds demeaning and as if it
wasn't a very important job.
It is! ! And any hard-working mother will
tell you so. I believe I was misquoted and
would like to set the record straight.

Editor's note: It was never my intent
when writing the story to render any such
judgement towards motherhood and
children. Indeed, it was a case of being
misquoted -- a mistake. The Sentinel
regrets any embarrassment this error
may have caused. A.R.
well-received last year, its first year in
operation, with many people in the
Lucknow area "interested in aerobics".
She said auditorium (upstairs) would suit
the needs of the classes as the wooden floor
would be safer as it "gives" more upon im-
pact. However, she said the basement
would be unsuitable because of its small
size and its cement floor.
Council agreed it would prefer to have
the classes downstairs -as most councillors
felt it would fit the needs of the classes to
be held twice a week. Reeve Herb Clark
said the floor was made of plywood, and
not cement as was stated in the letter.
Councillor Ab Murray had some reser-
vations about the holding of aerobics
classes upstairs as the constant jumping
on the floor may cause some structural
damage to the building.
Council made a motion to consult
Recreation Director Bill Hunter concern-
ing whether to hold the classes upstairs or
downstairs in the Town Hall.
Experience '87 Grant
Council received confirmation that its
application under the Experience '87 for
funding for two student workers had been
received. However, the application had
been received by the wrong government
ministry. The letter, from the Ministry of
Citizenship and Culture, stated the
village's application had been forwarded
to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs.
Severance Bylaw
Council passed a bylaw granting a
severance of a parcel of land to Cliff
Crawford of the village.
Appointments
Council re -appointed village foreman
COUNCIL
Gary Austin to be the weed inspector for
Lucknow. Also, council re -appointed Jean
Whitby 'as the village's representative on

Day Care
A grant request in support of the newly -
organized play school for pre-schoolers
operating out of the former Kinloss Public
School was turned down by council.
However, council will refer the matter to
an appropriate day care government agen-
