Official historic record book closer to reality
The first meeting of the West Wawanosh
history committee was held last Thursday
evening in the township hall, putting the
compilation of the township's official
historical record book one step closer to
reality.
The committee is headed up by John
Foran, former clerk of West Wawanosh,
who gets the credit for pushing to the pro-
ject to this point.
Others who will work with Foran are
Marion Zinn, Don Cameron, Phyllis Mor-
rison, Ethel McAllister, Margaret Bakker,
Eileen Hanna, Lois Walden, Marie Park,
Elroy Laidlaw and Joan Armstrong, the
present clerk of West Wawanosh.
At the last meeting of West Wawanosh
Township Council on September 6, council
instructed Clerk Armstrong to assemble
the group of volunteers for the history pro-
ject to "chart a course of action".
"Council feels it's time we got to work,"
said Armstrong.
There's progress on the renovations at
the township office. Council has authorized
Pegg Construction to drywall the staircase
to the bottom storey of the building and to
install a door at the bottom of the stairs, an
extra to the contract.
That area of the new building is very
visible from the upper storey, explained
Clerk Armstrong, and council agreed that
until the bottom portion of the building is
finished off, it would be wise to complete
the stairway at least in the meantime.
SEND MONEY
Payment in the amount of $17,500 has
been forwarded to Lucknow representing
50 percent of West Wawanosh's share of its
total commitment to the construction of
the new Lucknow and District Sports
Complex.
In future, West Wawanosh will pay 19
percent of the cost of maintenance and
operation of the facility.
West Wawanosh also supports the
maintenance and operation of Blyth and
District Community Centre to the tune of
seven percent.
As well, council provides some funding
for other recreational activities in the
township.
At the September meeting, council
agreed to support Hullett Township in its
request for a provincial PRIDE grant to
repair the roof at Auburn Community
Memorial Hall. However, West Wawanosh
Council has advised Hullett councillors
that the 1988 council cannot commit funds
for 1989 when a new council to be elected
this fall, will be making the decisions.
Other work authorized in the township
includes the application of topsoil where
necessary at Pentland Cemetery on the Se-
cond Concession.
NOT A PROBLEM
West Wawanosh Council is getting
prepared for what could happen if the
township is required by the federal govern-
ment to provide services for French-
speaking ratepayers. At its September
meeting, council agreed if bilingualism for
township employees was indicated, it
should be put to the voters on the ballot this
fall.
However, that may not be necessary
after all, says Clerk Armstrong. At the
'present time, municipal governments are
exempted from providing services "en
francais".
The township's Employment Policy
Statement has been amended by council to
read "For a week in which a St tory
Holiday falls, overtime will be calk—ated
after 40 working hours." The matter came
into question when an employee inquired
into the township's pay policy for the week
of June 27 to July 1, the period in which
Canada Day fell.
In other business, council is requesting
Ray Ulch of Dungannon to tidy up the pro-
perty around his welding shop to provide
parking for customers.
Council had a complaint from a citizen
about a parking problem that ' had
developed adjacent to the tJlch premises.
Council found there was plenty of parking
space available if some clutter around the
welding shop was removed.
Building permits were authorized for
Gary Smith to build an addition to his
house; for Rae Nicholson to install a
single -wide mobile home; for Levi J.
Miller to build a sow barn; for Joe Shetler
Jr. to build a silo; for Sam Miller to put up
a barn; and for Levi D. Stutzman to build a
silo. The Smith and Nicholson permits are
subject to approval from the Huron County
Health Unit for septic tank systems.
A new face at LCPS
Students at the Lucknow Community
Public School have a new name to learn
this year as they have welcomed Miss Jo
Ann Scott to their school.
Miss Scott is a first year teacher who
hails from Dundalk. She is teaching the
French program at L.C.P.S. this year as
well as taking on some part-time duties at
the Ripley school most mornings.
Miss Scott also has her Bachelor of Arts
in music and will undoutedly be very im-
pressed with the quality of musical eduac-
tion provided at the school. She took her
formal education at Queen's in Kingston.
She is presently living in Kincardine,
coincidently just four doors down from
principal Bill Pike, and says she has found
Lucknow to be "a very friendly
community".
"Lucknow really reminds me of home,"
said Miss Scott during a break in the
school day. "It's about the same size as
Dundalk and the people have been very
friendly. I look forward to meeting more
and more people as the year goes on."
She has already become involved in the
community by acting as a judge for last
7eekend's Fall Fair Parade.
Miss Scott will have her hands full this
term as she takes on Grades Four through
Eight. The largest class she has this year
is 31 students, a number she says is quite
challenging for a first year teacher.
Please join the students of L.C.P.S. in
welcoming Jo Ann Scott to our community.
