Yours truly, Bill Frouws Campaign Chairman To the Editor: I am in my 83rd year and in very good health. I left Langside in 1926. I attended No. 9 school that was built on land off our farm and at that time I knew all the kids that went there and all the farmers in the area. There are not any left now. I enjoy reading your paper, but it sometimes makes me lonesome. Sincerely, Wm. C. McKinnon, R.R. 6, Kingston. Dear Sir; This letter is to inform your readers of the tremendous success of the recent Muscular Dystrophy Drive carried out by the Lucknow and District Fire Department. The Drive was carried out by our members along Roadside Hwy. 86 East on Friday, September 4. At that time, $2,110 was raised in donations towards this wor- thy cause. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who donated when called upon. This total represents the largest amount raised to date by the Fire Depart- ment in their many years of collecting for MD. Bud Hamilton Fire Chief To the Editor: It is very encouraging to hear that they proposed plan for the arena is going ahead. As president of the Lucknow Business Association, I would like to say that the members strongly support the new arena. We realize that it is a huge project but we feel the need is great and will benefit our community. Thank you to all the arena volunteers. It is people like you who help make our com- munity strong. Joanne Weber, President, Lucknow Business Association. Council defers decision on approval Action has been deferred by Huron County Council on a recommendation that it ask the provincial government to delegate the ap- proval for certain planning functions to- county council. The recommendation was made at coun- cil's regular September session during a report presented by its planning and development committee. However, fears expressed by some members of council that such action could have serious ramifica- tions prompted deferral of the issue until all members of council have had time to review a detailed submission on delegation prepared by the planning and development department. In the report presented by the committee, council was told that the Planning Act allows delegation by the provincial govern- ment of some planning functions to county council. The report recommended council ask for formal delegation of : Approval authority for plans of subdivision; approval authority for plans of condominium; approval authority for, part lot control bylaws; ap- proval authority for road closings pursuant to specific sections of the Planning Act and review of zoning bylaws as per the minister's interest, including official plan LUCKNOW CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH Invites You To Worship With Them On Sunday, September 20th 10 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. Nursery downstairs morning & evening EVERYONE WELCOME KINCARDINE FALL RECREATION PROGRAM Registration Days are Wed., Sept. 16, 5 - 8:30 PM Thurs.

Bayfield Reeve Dave Johnston was the first to raise concern over the committee's recommendation and said he feared Huron County is trying to assume control of all planning. "I would like to know why you feel the county would be able to do a job better than the local municipalities," he asked county planning director Gary Davidson. ' Mr. Davidson replied that the final ap- proval authority does not rest with the municipality currently, but with the pro-_ vince and as a result projects often are bog- ged down waiting for a provincial decision. "This (delegation) would bring the deci- sion one step closer to the municipality," he said. Delegation would not take any authori- ty from the local municipality, he added. Mr. Johnston, however, said he felt the planning and development department could be putting the county in the position of possible conflict with one of its member municipalities. In his opinion, the county is not in that position at present since the onus of final approval is at the provincial level. Mr. Davidson argued, however, that the situation of possible conflict already exists under the current system since the provin- 41, cial government usually goes along with county recommendations on such planning functions. An elaborate system of checks .and balances, however, usually allows the municipality to say no to a development if it does not want it, he said. "Problems occur, however, when the municipality and county have given ap- proval to development and the ministry is dragging its heels." ' Exeter Reeve Bill Mickle said that since the planning and development department is involved in the drafting procedure for such functions as bylaws, delegation of ap- proval authority to the county would very likely place it in a position of conflict. Mr. Davidson again argued that the poten- tial for this scenario already exists under the current system and that delegation would not increase the risk of that happen- ing. "If .a local municipality does not ap- prove a bylaw, there is no bylaw," he said. Mr. Johnston supported Mr. Mickle's sug- gestion that council defer action on the recommendation until members of council have had more time to study the detailed report. He also suggested that Mr. Davidson or a representative speak to each of the local councils on the report during the defer- ral period.
