LUCKNOW CONCERT BAND ON TOUR Early Thursday morning, sixty-nine Lucknow band members left on two buses, first travelling to Orchard Park Public School in Orillia. Former Lucknow staff teacher, Mrs. Lib McMurray welcomed the band. Pupils of this completely carpeted, air-conditioned, four year old school found the band the most entertaining they had ever heard. The afternoon concert was at Archie Stauffer Public School in Minden. Band members. were again given a standing ovation and asked to sign autographs, The band then travelled to the Wig-a-Mog Inn for a chicken supper, swimming, dancing and eventually sleep in the assigned cabins.

On Friday morning, a nine -thirty concert was played in Bancroft Senior Public School where the band has entertained before. Principal Layton Shouldice, formerly of Shallow Lake, warmly welcomed the band. The pupils wished they could start each day with such excellent entertainment.

SENT NEL WEDNESDAY,' MAY 31, 1978 Single Copy 25c 28 PAGES Tevya played by Rob Henderson, Lucknow, sits on his milk wagon asking why it would be such a_ problem to be a rich man in Madill Secondary's production of the Broadway musical, "Fiddler on the Roof". Several Lucknow students who attend Madill play leading parts in the musical including,. Stephen Pritchard as Motel, the tailor; Tom Henderson as the Rabbi; Alex Irwin as Avrahm; Linda Moore as Fruma-Sarah and Mary Luanne Clare as Granma Tzeitel. The play runs June 1, 2 and 3 hi the Madill auditorium. A funny and provocative play with an excellent music score, it has been loved by audiences who made it the longest running show in Broadway's history. The students at Madill are taking on a very ambitious production but, as indicated by their dress rehearsals, they are meeting the challenge, - and the play should be a delight for everyone who sees it. Huron to learn if municipalities can issue building permits BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER Huron County may find out very soon whether or not the municipalities"' have been able to issue building : permits under the National Building Code.* Planning director Gary Davidson warned Friday at county coun- cil's May session that some legal advisers say the municipalities cannot issue building permits unless they have passed the necessary bylaws enforcing the Ontario Building Code Act of 1974. "We may ,have a challenge in Colborne Township very soon," said Davidson. "Then we'll know." At a meeting in Lon- desboro recently, county planner Roman Dzus told the Huron County Municipal Officers' Association annual meeting that unless a municipality has passed a bylaw enforcing ' the Ontario•Building Code, it has no legal basis ' to charge for, or issue a building permit.

"These model bylaws give the legal' right to issue permits and puts the municipalities in a position to carry out the responsibility, the Ministry gave them in 1974," Davidson told council. • Bayfield Reeve Ed Oddleifson said it was his understanding the municipalities have the authority to operate under the National Building Code. Davidson said this theory had been • disputed by lawyers. COSTS UP -Davidson did agree with Turnberry Reeve Don Eadie that it will cost the local municipalities more'to comply with the, Ontario .Building Code Act. Davidson said there is no doubt the Ministry has passed the costs and the responsibilities of building inspection along to the municipalities. "If the Ontario government's requirements are not met, the municipality can be held liable," said Davidson. The planning director went on to ex- plain the Ontario Building Code Act deals primarily with structural matters. Things like faulty roofs and leaky basements and . poor quality flooring just don't come under this Act. Reeve Oddleifson wondered if it was necessary to hire a qualified building in- spector in the local municipalities. He said CONTINUED' ON PAGE 7
