The regular monthly meeting of the
Kinloss Township Council was held on the
evening of September 6 with Reeve Barry
Johnston and all council members present.
The minutes of the August 2 and 15
meetings were adopted as read by the
clerk before new business was presented.
The tender of Croskill Overhead Doors
Limited of Listowel for $14,000 was ac-
cepted to supply and install three new 22
guage doors on the Township Garage. The
tender also includes the removal and re-
installation of two existing doors on the
new Township Storage Shed.
Building permit applications were ac-
cepted for Murray Simpson to construct a
residence and for Richard King to con-
struct a shed.
A by-law was given third reading and
passed after having the Ontario Municipal
C ouNcit BRIEFS
Board approve to raise up to $150,000 to aid
in the construction of drainage works
under the Tile Drainage Act, 1971.
General accounts for $31,067.58 and road
accounts totalling $69,731:145 were
approved.
The engineer's report on the Royal Oak
Creek Extention was accepted and the
date of September 19 at 8 p.m. was the date
set for its consideration.
Rod McDonagh of McDonagh Insurance

Tower power project

The president of the Foodland Hydro
Committee, Ken McGregor of Strathroy,
says the farmers' position in this case is
hard to explain "to the big city lawyers".
"Farmers are at the low end of the totem
pole it appears," McGregor said. "We
identify with the land. To a farmer, the
land isn't just investment property or a
place to live. It's very hard to explain
unless you're a farmer."
While McGregor's own farm isn't af-
fected by the power line project, he feels
strongly enough about the wrong being
done to continue chairing the committee
until a better settlement is reached for the
farmers.
"Our goal is to get the best deal possible
for effected landowners, and that's not an
easy job," he said. "Right from the start,
from the intitial hearings (1982), our con-
cerns were not instrumental in the deci-
sion by Ontario Hydro to take this route."
While the battle for a "better settle-
ment" for area farmers is now in the
,hands of the lawyers, the Bruce -
Longwood Line is becoming more and
more visible as new towers are erected
almost daily.
Rabies confirmed

and August 30 this year is asked to make
themselves known to the health unit.
While it is highly unlikely that any
humans were infected with the disease,
anyone known to have been at the farm
recently is being contatced. Already, the
families of about 15 families who visited
the farm as part of an excursion organized
by the Goderich Recreation Department
have been notified.
At this time the health unit has no reason
to believe any in the group were in close
contact with the infected llama.
To become infected with rabies, saliva of
the rabid animal would have to have
entered the blood stream of another
animal or human.
According to Burgsma, the llamas have

always been shy animals and rarely come
close enough to the fence to be handled. He
has had the llamas at his farm for two
years.
"We are really only interested in speak-
ing with people who were in direct contact
with the llamas," said Senior Public
Health Inspector Jack MacKinnon. "At
this tithe we have no reason to believe
anyone is at risk."
MacKinnon said that normally the
rabies virus could be transmitted three to
five days prior to the death of the carrier.
"Just to be extra cautious, we're asking
that anyone in contact with the animals
since August 20 call us," he said.
