The European tracks are not as fast as the tracks in Canada and Pat learned that the . racer required skill instead of speed in competi- tion there. "The tracks are twice as difficult," he said, "They are slippery grass instead of dry dirt. „They're muddy with little corners." He placed sixth in several of the big races and won some of the local races in which he competed. He was disheartened be- cause he was not winning while in Europe but when he returned to Canada he found the track here seemed twice as easy where it was difficult before. He has won two races since coming back. He plans to compete in the Molson Pro Series in Ontario and in the Quebec Pro -Select Series this summer. He has been sponsored by Maico-Canada but, they are not sponsoring any racer with full sponsorship this summer so Pat intends to sponsor himself. He could ride another make of bike and possibly receive sponsor - Give yourself a break. Take a walk. natiarkfthod. Walk a hkNk:riklap. ship from another company but, he feels Maico is the best bike and he would rather ride this make, even if he has to buy his own. He has also done flat track racing since his return to Canada. Like . snowmobile racing, speed is the factor as the bikes race round an oval dirt track, sliding around corners. Pat had to learn to slide ' around_ the corners, because moto-cross racing is a different style. He says he is not serious about the flat track racing, but expects he will compete in several. He._� finished fourth in the , first___ flat -track race he competed in. Kinloss Council On June 5th Kinloss Council appointed Medway Civic Engineering to prepare a surveyand report on. the Guest Branch of the Black Creek Extension; • also to inspect the MacLeod Drain after a petition from Albert Morton had been accepted for a repair. The clerk was instructed to prepare an entrance by-law (pertains to entrances to properties including culverts and installation). General accounts of $35,905.68' and highways for $48,346.25 were ordered paid. Ratepayers on the McEw- en Drain near Kinloss and the Carrick Drain at White- church met in the clerk's office on June 10th to discuss the high tenders on each with ''the result that the township will act as contractor for both. Athe same meeting t t ng council moved to accept the terms and conditions of the fire agreement with the town of Lucknow and the town- ships of Ashfield. and, West Wawanosh. We apologize for an error in the May 1st meeting where Gerald Murray's name appeared instead of Gerald Rhody with, regard to a petition on the Guest Branch of the Black Creek extension. Taxes for 1978 will be almost exactly the same as last year due to some increase in assessment, a decrease in county rate and an • increase in Ontario grants, all of which is practically offset by the increase in education levies. Village Council Briefs Council agreed to a draft subdivision agreement with Gerrie Glenn, Lucknow, con- tractor and subsequent to minor changes the agree- ment will be presented for approval at the Jay meeting. Council told George Col- well that they could not —authorize any drain work in the area of , his property on the north side of Gough Street because it was private property. Correction Pictures of the Wacky Widow in last week's Sentin- el were identified incorrectly. Robert Johnstone, R. R. 2 Wingharn, played the sher- iff, not Russell McGuire as stated. The Wacky Widow was not pictured. Instead, the picture showed the fortune teller, Mrs. George Kennedy, R. R. 1 Lucknow. In the Lancer hockey pictures, the ,cutiines for two pictures were switched. The pictures of Harvey Living- ston with Graham Hamilton and Lynn Armstrong with Hary Livingston were !rever- sed. We apologize for any inconvenience,these errors may have caued. Ministery of Transporta- tion and Communications approved the Wayne Lowry Construction Ltd. tender for reconstruction of Havelock Street, from Canning to Willoughby. The tender was for $45,347.50 and was the lowest of four. The Ministry of Transpor- tation and Communication will change the Lucknow population signs at the village entrances to read a population of 1,200. Council agreed that the Ontario Housing Corporation Senior Citizens' apartments should be named "Sepoy Apartments" as suggested by the residents.
