Fire claims stored corn
The Lucknow Fire Department was call-
ed out on the coldest day yet this winter to
attend to a fire reported at the Amberly
Grain Elevator located on Highway 21 at
RR3 Goderich. The call came.in at 10:30
a.m. on Tuesday of last week and it took
until 9:30 p.m. for the attending
firefighters to extinguish the flame.
The cause of the fire, according to Fire
Chief Bud Hamilton, has been narrowed
down to a burnt out bearing on a peice of
equipment. The damaged equipment had
been left running and eventually over
heated.the corn to the point of combustion.
While a large quantity of corn was lost in
the blaze, the only damage done to the
building resulted from the fact that a por-
tion of the outside wall had to be removed
to allow firefighters access to the trouble
spot.
Hamilton says he estimates the fire con-
sumed a swath of corn 25 feet, by 20 feet,
by 10 feet. Damages are estimated at
$15,000 which includes repairs that will
need to be done to the building.
Amberly Grain Elevators is owned and
operated by Parish-Heimbecker.

Storm hits Jamboree
The Sentinel office received a call last
week from Linda Williams, wife of Eric
Williams who is one of the leaders of the
Bluewater Region Boy Scouts. A delega-
tion from the Bluewater Region is current-
ly at the World Scout Jamboree in
Australia and Mrs. Williams called just to
give us a report on the event as she has
recently heard from her husband.
Eric reports that the boys, who include
Chris Colwell and Johnathon Nelson of
Lucknow, are having a wonderful time in
Australia. There are more than 16,000
Scouts from around the world attending
the Jamboree.
The' opening ceremonies for the event
kicked off on December 31 with a huge
fireworks display at midnight. January 4
was singled out as Canada Day at the Jam-
boree and our lads were kept busy serving
pancakes and maple syrup to anyone who
visted their camp. Mr. Williams said the
boys served over 300 people from Great
Britian, Holland, New Zealand, the United
States and Australia during the day long
celebration.
Another task of the Bluewater Scouts
while in Australia was the presentation of
an authentic Canadian totem pole to their
hosts. The gift was well received and has
been viewed with great interest by many
of the visiting countries.
