Dear editor.
Re:: Do i gau OMB.
.
zeal** appeal
With the decision now in
on the Donegan OMB hear -
jug, and let me say it was
basieal•ly a good one, it
would be an appropriate
tirne fora few comments.
Firstly, the zoning bylaw
is a "document to regulate
certain activities in the
township and was prepared
by previous council with the
help of the South Bruce
Planning Board. It should,
therefore, be. used as a
guideline in settingtgvin,.
ship policy;
With the ratepayers com-
mittee opposingthe gravel
pit it .would seem that the
to /whip council acted well
The .Lucknow & District Optimist sponsored • magic show was well . received
last Saturday evening. Bre tDeBruyn was ore of the lucky yortrgSters who
got to participate in magician Peter ."biennia 's routine. Brent had a great time'
being a
n
assistant andthe audience enjoyed rhis antics too, (Pat

Dear editor;
On Sunday afternoon,
Feb. 25, two "gentlemen"in
a car, stopped on a Huron
county road and threw at.'
least two bags of ,garbage
onto the roadside. The OPP
were informed of the inti -
dent.
Your local municipality
(telephone number found in
the blue pages) should be .
able to inform you of where

belong on the side of any
road.

within their right to oppose

In my opinion, .the chair-
man, Mr. Yao, handled the
hearing in a very profes-
sional manner; likewise his
judgment. .
After two adjournments,
for a variety of reasons, Mr.
Doneganneglected to finish

extra•,time to conTplete:
When all . was said and

'there is no question

and I believe it was suffi-
ciently clear to Donegan.
before the hearing began
that -it -could not succeed."
For the Township of
Kinloss and the ratepayers
committee, this hearing was
time consuming and very
costly.
The reforested area of
some ;50,000 treescan con-
tinue to grow and. the
stream and wild life will not
be disturbed. The matter has
been dealt with in the best
interest of the ratepayers of
the township: •

Re: Donegan Gravel Pit .
The. Ontario . Municipal Board has bis
itnssed the zoning appeal by Donegan
Haulage... This 'shows that local govern=
ments and residents can have :a bearing on
matters effecting their community. It has
been long hard struggle this at four
. 8 a on �•gg "past
years. Kinloss Township. Council and a
p
large number of persons can be'.,roud of
their efforts to save.our fragile. areas.
It is nice to know that people won't have
to live with 100 truck ;trips :a day and the
quietness of that area will continue.
Yes, the application can be renewed, but.
Donegan, the Resources, Environment and
Planning departments know what tests and
reports roust be completed. Any applicant
has to dothese tests and there is no' assur-
ance that their application would be sue-
cessful, If a new ;application is grade, we
would continue our opposition to it..
'TO all those who contributed to the
$15,000, we thank you, and would like you
to know it was given to council in January.

Dear editor:
Since its inception in 1922, the Easter Seal Society of
b Ontario has helped support childrenwith physical disabili-
ties and their families in communities acrossP
the province
through our annual fundraising campaign:
With. recent cuts to government -funding, families• are
g g
turning to Easter Seals more
than ever for essential
ser-
vices.
er
vices. We believe that although the cost of helping chil-
dren
elpi gchi-
dren
with physical .disabilities achieve "independence is
high, the cost of not doing so is Much higher
.The Easter Seal Society ;owns and operates the largest
summer program for campers with, physical disabilities in
Canada. The campexperience is im e t as it encourages
independence and burlds self esteem. It also provides a
welcome respite for parents.
On March 1, the Lucknow & District Lyons Club will
begin our mail cam ai gn to raise money
for Easter
Seals.
Half of all money. raised will be spent sending disabled
children in our owncommunity to camp.. Last years earn-
. paign raised $1,465 locally through your generous . dona-
tions but this year We need toraise more.
Please give getterousfy. A donation for these children
today will be an investment fpr the future.

Hydro, was off At five -o'clock,. on. Thursday
evening, hydro lights went out and electric motors

ranges "they stopped too. And the current didn't come on
until six a'clrck Friday evening. ,
So on Thursday night there was a lot of hunting.into

everybody went=to bed early .as they used:to do before Jazz
