The damage .done at Reavie 'Farm Equip- ment earlier this year, is a case which; is considered closed, because 'the. police, believe theY know the persons responsible, but do not have'suff.�cient evidence to lay a. .charge. : • Kincardine QPP 'has Laid 165 liquor. charges since January. Of that total, 55 were laid in Lucknow .which is about 1/3 of the total number of offences. Forty-seven of that 55 were laid on Friday and Saturday nights..

' ° LIMON OFFICER Sergeant Almond told council that a liason program was started about 11/2 years ago and on that program, Constable Andy Burgess is the liason officer for Lucknow. The purpose of the program is to get the policeman on the street, where he will be seen. To put the uniform on the street, so that the people of the village, come to think of their OPP liason offices, as the village policeman. Constable Burgess spends a lot of time patrolling the village and doing public relations work in the conrmµnity. He has. spoken to the Lions Club, the Block Parents committee and the Kinsmen in the past year. Councillor Ab murray said the he was convinced that about 75 per cent of the noise problems in the village last summer was out of town cars, Constable Burgess agreed that several of the cars described in these incidents are connected to incidents throughout the area. Constable Burgess urged that the public call in and make a description, even though nothing can be CONTINUED ON PAGE -8 EL $11 A Year In Advance $21.50 To U.S.A. and Foreign WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1978 Single Copy 25c 32 PAGES ruce conference a two way dialogue; -The;. conference, Education, in Bruce '78 attended the day long conference held at and Beyond, sponsored by the Bruce County Walkerton " District -Secondary School on Board of Education, was a• two way oppor- Saturday: tunity for the public and the,board to hear Four clinics were present -4 in the each' other. and repeated in the Afternoon', morning TheBoard resent clinics and` 't reaction. `'`''Y Polytechnical Institute, was guest speaker, prior to the morning session: School bands, from throughout the Bruce system, provided music in the—Morning P during registration and in th- a afternoon u. a lawi t ose who trended .to anticipate in ,during ,,the lunch' break. .,.,. anfo 'mation �n..tifQ r l . _ng' ,; � � .:. ..- a.

Bruce County Board of Education chair- man, Lloyd Ackert, said he was very pleased with the day: "People seemed to enjoy themselves and the bands playing was a revelation as to how., far the musical program P g in Bruce has Progressed. Ackert Said the the conferen e was as to' be .a way "two ay dialogue in which the board was looking for the opportunity to acquaint people people with. what is goingon in the schools. There have been developments the'people' were not aware of said Ackert. The;values and morals education seminar was to expose the public to, a concept being worked on in other jurisdictions. The morals and values education clinic was presented to get reaction on how the public wants the board to move on this program. The conference was "a one shot effort" said Ackert, that may be repeated down the road a piece, but "it would lose its lustre if we tried to do it every year." Council blocks urban deveioprnent Bruce Planning . Director, M. • M. Camp bell, sent a letter -to Lucknow Village Counci ' informing them that the Ashfield Secondar: Plan, now under consideration, allows subdivision development along a one mile stretch of Huron County Road 1, south of the village. The plan states that the orderly expansion of the village of Lueknow'will be permitted in this area. subject' .to a rezoning to - the appropriate land use zone. Campbell said in the letter to, council that this development would result in less growth " within the village and 'a more scattered urban pattern. More non-residents would be using village facilities without paying takes, he added, and urban expansion would not be. under the control of the - village. The Lucknow Secondary Plan does not envisage all the land.within the village being needed for development within the planning period, It appears therefore, to be unneces- sary for expansion of Lucknow to occur in Huron County, said Campbell. If and when such lands are needed for extlinsion of Lucknow, the usual procedure is through annexation, Council concluded that the designation ot<j , the area for urban development s kind h changed in the Ashfield plan and.forwarded the letter and "their tecommendation to lawyer George Brophy .:motto tri :* l trcktiew council`s 'objectkm.
