HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1987-07-22, Page 5• Mistakes do happen To the Editor; Concerning the write-up, before a letter, Please Go Safely', there were a few points left out. Yes, Richy misjudged the distance and speed of the truck, it might have been easier, though, if the vehicle was in the correct lane. It would also be great if motorists would be watchful and cautious on the roads where children of all ages do play. Richy was not admitting fault in his let- ter, he was explaining what happened to him. There is no need for blame as it was an accident, something that occurs when all parties are not watchful. The family name is not Hall. Take another look at the letter. It is East. We all have to take care in everything we do, say and print, no matter what age group we belong to. Sincerly, Apryl East. Editor Note: You, of course, are quite correct, Mrs. East. Mistakes do happen. Even in the newspaper. We all hope Richy is feeling better and, once again, thank him for his letter. To the Editor; Hi from Dawson City, Yukon Territory. Since we can't be there personally to say to the people of Lucknow and surrounding TO area, we would like to express to you all a thank -you for all the donations we received these past few weeks after the loss of our home and possessions. It has meant a great deal to us. Sitting up here, thousands of miles away, we somehow feel very close to all of you. A day does not go by that we don't think of Lucknow. We look forward to the fall when we return to make a new beginning. Thank -you for everything. Sincerly, Bryan, Vana, Jeff, Donnie and Brent Gammie. Editors Note: You'll remember back to May 17, the day fire claimed the home andpossessions of the Gammies. As this letter states, the family made their annual trek to the Yukon where Bryan and their oldest son Jeff work in a gold mine over the summer months. Vana, we understand, has employment with the. Yukon Tourist Agen- cy while the two younger boys are working for a hotel there. We look forward to having them back in the village come fall. Kairshea W.I. meets Mrs. Don Matthews was hostess for the July meeting of the Kairshea Women's In- stitute held last week. The president, Mrs. Haldenby, welcomed the large group to the meeting and also expressed thanks for the kindness shown when her father passed away. Mrs. Murray Keith read the minutes of the previous meeting and the current com- munications. A motion was made and passed to make a donation of $25 to the Butler Project to place pictures of farm animals in an area school. A executive meeting was held July 7 when it was decided that the W.I. Liability Insurance would be sufficient. The secretary read a letter she had written to send to the Bruce County Council re- questing that a member of the W.I. from each district be on the Museum Board. Mrs. Harvey Houston presented two new hand -books to the president and secretary and a motion was made to purchase four for the executive. One more leader is need- ed for the next 4H course. Mrs. Leonard Maclnnes reported on the last Lions dinner when 41 men were served. Mrs. Robert Gilchrist spoke of the Craft Festival plans. Members were asked to br- ing their pies in early. The Fall Fair Committee would like hats for the display to be brought to the August meeting. Mrs. Harry Lavis reported that the donations for the Cancer Society now total $451.00. This represents the best amount ever and thanks are in order for those who canvassed. The roll call was an interesting portion of the meeting as each member had a family news item to report. As this was the 'public relations meeting', Mrs. Ira Dickie took the chair for the program. For relaxation, Mrs. Virden Mowbray had everyone stand and do finger exercises. Mrs. Murray Keith introduced the guest speaker for the evening, Shirley Keller from the Goderich Signal -Star. With a series of pictures she showed how a paper is put together and published. This process has changed greatly over the years. In the early days, each letter was set by hand and then the linotype machines using hot lead were used. Mrs. Keller showed the present day methods using negatives and aluminum plates. Many people from photographers, graphic artists, proof readers etc. are in- volved in producing a paper. Mrs. Keller showed pictures of these people at work. When the presses are ready_ to roll, 5,000 copies can be produced in half -an -hour. The Signal -Star also has an extensive training program. With Mrs. Keller was Jodie Boyd, daughter of the publisher of the Forest Standard, who is in Goderich to learn the basics of publishing. Many pressmen also receive their training in the Goderich plant. Mrs. Keller was thanked for her time and interesting talk by Mrs. Ira Dickie and presented with an envelope. Mrs. Robert Gilchrist will be the hostess for the August meeting. Following the singing of 0' Canada and the Institute Grace, directors Mrs. Frank MacKenzie and Mrs. Don Matthews serv- ed a delicious lunch. r: A few farmers from the area surroun- ding Olivet are starting a second cut of hay. The second cut is looking much better than the first due, in part, to the amount of rainfall. Chris McGuire visited the Royal Ontario Museum Mobile which was stopped in Ripley on July 15. The mobile was located at the Ripley Library for the day and will be travelling to Lucknow on the 27th of this month. Be sure to take the kids out as Chris reports it is very interesting and well worth the trip. Mr. and Mrs. Lovell McGuire and daughter Fay and her husband visited recently with Jack McGuire and family. Lovell and Ilia are back from the Brant- ford area. Lovel was raised on the farm now owned by Mr. and Mrs, Garnet McNall. He is a second cousin of Jack. A few from this area took in the Lucknow Tractor Pull last week. Reports from the Pull show that attendance was down slightly due to the hot and humid weather of that weekend. Chris and Scott McGuire spent a couple of days with their Grandmother, Mrs. Bill Reeves of Ripley. Mr's. Vicki Karantonis and family of Toronto are spending a few weeks at their summer home here and we wish them a pleasant stay with us.

HENDERSON LIMITED LUCKNOW O Hours: Mon. -Fri. 8-5:30 Sat. 8 -moon /\ master charge 1 528-3118 The Corporation of the Village of Lucknow COMPREHENSIVE BY-LAW GUIDELINES With more inquiries being received from Residents of Lucknow wishing to build new homes, there seems to be more confusion as to the procedures which must be followed according to our Secondary Plan and Comprehensive Bylaws. which govern the lot sizes and set backs. After September 11/ 86 any new Tots which are created must have a minimum of 15.000 square feet if serviced by Municipally piped water only, or 5400 square feet if serviced by both Sanitary Sewers and Water: Any existing lot, which was surveyed and deeded prior to September 86 is exemp- ted and may be built on providing they are approved by the Dept. of Health and should the lot be located in o flood area approval would also be required from the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority. The owner would then be required to apply for a building permit at the Clerk's Office. The usual single lot size in the Village is 66 ft. 'x 165 ft. if a person owns a house and an adjoining lot. but has only one deed and wishes to sell or build on the adjoining lot and dispose of the other property, he would be re- quired to 1. Make application for "Consent" to sever the lots and 2. Make application for a "Minor Variance" if the lot has less than 15,000 square feet. This would have to be approved by the Planning Board which takes about 4 months. If the lot being severed contained 15,000 square feet, then only the "Consent" to sever would be required before applying for the building permit. Everyone planning on building should first check at the Clerk's Office to determine if your lot is properly zoned for what you want to do and meets the other requirements. Council has been successful In having the flood lines reduced to the 1-100 year, which means that a number of Tots which were formerly zoned E -H (Environmental Hazard) will now be re -zoned. When this k being done, probably in August, we will ask the residents to drop in to the Town Office and chock their property location to make sure that it is correctly zoned. The following charges apply to applications for: Zone Change Consent (Severance) Minor Variance $500.00 '200.00 $125.00
