(photo submitted) Ladies are life members •from page 1 to the Auxiliary -a touch of class, along with a ten- der heart; always the one to say the right thing when needed. Anna Johns -tone, a member for 48 years, has served as president, sec- retary, first and second vice, and sergeant of arms, the position she still holds. Anna is a kind, generous and wise person, who is willing to share her knowledge and experience with all. The auxiliary has a little piece of gold in Anna. Joan Robinson has been president of the auxiliary for a total of 15 years of her 48 years ser- vice. She has also served as secretary, first and sec- ond vice, sergeant of arms, executive, flag bearer and sports officer. She is currently president and sports officer. Joan is the backbone of the Auxiliary. She has strong leadership qualities; states her opinions and listens to others. Over her 43 years ser- vice, Susan McNaughton has served as president, first and second vice, flag bearer and presently sits on the executive. Susan attends most meetings and helps at every func- tion. She always has a story to" tell and has a calming effect when heated discussions occur. Her greatest asset to the Auxiliary is being stead fast and her belief in the organization. For 30 of Tena Gardner's 31 years in the organization, she has served as the treasurer. She is a vital member who not only keeps accu- rate books, but is an asset to the meetings. Tena is always willing to lend a hand and to guide new members along.. This friendly, outgoing and trustworthy woman is a Huron County Council treasure to the Auxiliary. Alice Clark, currently on the executive, has been an enthusiastic member for 30 years. She has held the office of first and second vice and served as president for two years. She exhibits kind, friendly, steadfast, strong leadership quali- ties, is helpful and always has a kind word and a smile. Kay Thacker has been a member for 23 years. She has held the office of first and second vice, and president. Currently she is a member of the exec- utive. Kay is a person you can depend on, no matter what is asked of her. She is a solid forth - Coming person whose opinions are asked for and listened to. Kay's sense of fair play helps maintain a good balance at the meetings. Road transfer too costly by Blake Patterson, Huron County is ask- ing for a meeting with Ontario's Minister of Transport to say, "We can't afford the roads you gave us." At the -Nov. 7 meeting of Huron County Council, the county agreed to request a meet- ing with the provincial Minister of Transport Al Paladini to say the county is 'not in, a position to accept the the transfer of highways 83, 84 and 87 without adequate com- pensation. The minister will also be asked for the $400,000 needed to reconstruct the Black River Bridge (built in 1947) on Highway 83. At the Sept. 5 meeting of council, the county was informed that by April 1, 1997, • the province will transfer Highway 83 from Highway 21 to the Perth County :boundary; Highway 84 from Highway 21 to Hensall; an•d Highway 87 from Highway 86 to the Wellington • County boundary. The transfer represents a 70.6 kilome- tre increase to the county road system. • The county will receive a one-time only grant of $4,465,950 to compensate these trans- fers. A June 1995 study, however, indicates that a total of $6,442,500 would be needed to address the needs of the transferred ,highways and their bridges. The short fall will have to be picked up by • the county. That was the basis of the decision to ask the provincial minister for a meeting. In a roads report from the Planning and Development Committee, council was told that. the county must make it known to the province that the funding being transferred is notade- quate. • The report provided a detailed breakdown of the expenses required to maintain the county's roadways and included several suggestions on how to deal with increased roads and •turn to page 9 Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, November 13, 1996 - Page 3 fareeffettg in LUCKNOW Bill, Bev & Laura Hodgins NODOINS' NOME NARDWARi SALE RUNS NOVEMBER 13th - 16th, 1996 NOV 13 NOV 14 4" DISC GRINDER z5o-078 FOLDING UTILITY TRUCK 5410-361 1 THERMAL COFFEE MAKER 3e.,1 761r� /�,. ,.
