Tornado Awareness Day, April 7 Each year, an average of 25 tornadoes touch down in Ontario. Some are minor and cause little &aurin , others sus os.. central Oretraric tornado which struck Barrie and several other communities in 1985, are major and cause injuries and deaths. April marks the beginning of the severe weather season in Ontario and the Ministry of the Shcicitor General is attempting to educate On- tario's public about tornadoes and how they can help themselves. April 7 has been marked as Tornado Awareness Day in Ontario and The Atmospheric Environment Service of Environment Canada, together with Emergency Planning Ontario, and Halton Region Council are sponsoring Project Tornado. This project includes a workshop for municipal officials. The Village ofLucknow is prepared for such emergencies under Bylaw 12/82, which ensures the 'efficient coordination of Municipal 'Emergen- cy Services Operations to provide for the safety and welfare .of the in- habitants of the village in the event -of flood, hurricane, windstorm, blizzard, explosion, aircraft or rail crash, toxic or flammable gas escape, building or structure collapse, uncontrollabe fire or the threat of any of the the aforementioned. !While it may "be deemed .expedient for the village to coordinate these emergency services, it is the responsibility"of:all individuals to be aware of protective measures they can take personally. Be sure to 'read and pay 'attention to the tornado tips contained in this week's Sentinel. .Let's not bury our heads in the sand and think, 'that will never happen 'here". ,In, our increasing complex and technological society, peacetime emergencies Of a -manmade nature are on the increase to add to the natural emergencies that man has always faced. Be aware and be prepared. PL. Got a beef? Write a letter to the editor. three months • m review A little over three months ago, former editor Rob Bundy, decided to change helms and took on the editorship of Focus and Leisure Life, leaving the G.M. of the Sentinel with a monumentous decision - whether to take over the editorship of the local paper or hire a new editor. She threw caution to the wind, jumped in with both size 11's, not knowing whether she would sink or swim and finally came up for air when the Farm Progress edition was published. Thirteen papers after the plunge, I have gathered a thimble full of confidence, con- siderably more grey hair, lost a fete pounds and now have new dreams that are more like nightmares. These nightmares always centre around the darkroom. No not an ordinary room without light - my darkroom - you know - the one I go into every Monday at 1 p.m. and two hours later emerge with my hair standing on end and my nails bit down to the first knuckle. That old saying, "if at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again", is driving me insane. As much as I "try", I am still not satisfied with the results. While I know it is impossible, I dream of the day when my pictures will be as perfect as those of fellow editors, Bill Henry (Goderich) and Ron Wassink (Walkerton) . What really bothers me in this business is -the -fact -that -your wor is -on view for -- everyone to see and pick apart. Your er- rors or poor pits are recorded for ever once those pasteup sheets leave the editor's loving hands. Wednesday mornitags I approach the of- fice in fear of what I will find when I fran- tically tear open that bundle and scan the paper. Writing a column and an editorial week after week is no easy chore. Mr. Fixit and AMBLI NGS by Pat Livingston Number One Son are being very careful not to give me any "really good stuff" lately. With the change in my position, 1 of course had to employ someone to learn my previous area of expertise. After much interviewing, which was another new area for me, and much deliberation, Marg Burkhart was employed to look after the front office end of things. Now Marg brings experience in may dif- ferent areas to this job. She has previously worked for a newspaper, a radio station, a travel agency and is a private tour guide as well. On top of all that, she is a photography nut. You may recall Marg was doing freelance pictures for us in the past and will continue as the need arises. Ina small office such as the Sentinel it is very important that the employees all get along with each other. Our quarters are small and there can be nothing worse, in my opinion, than a place of employment where the people are not compatible. Over the last three months Marg and I have found that we have a lot of things in common. We are both Scorpios - and we get along great. We had been informed that Scorpios usually don't mix well with each other. We both have the same middle name, and the list goes on and on. __,--Toms -our-•advertising-manager; -is- not - quitesure how to take the two of us. The females have him outnumbered - again. He normally just sits back and shakes his head when Marg and I get going off on some tangent. He likes to pretend we're driving him crazy, but he really loves it here. Marg has passed her three months pro- • bation with flying colours; I have my three months probation in and I haven't heard Turn to nage 5 Heavy rains last week added to the yearly flooding experienced by the "prairies" at the junction of highway 4 and 86, Wingham. (Pat Livingston photo) 70 years ago April 3, 1919 The Chance for Hydro - A delegation of representatives from South Bruce and North Huron interviewed Sir Adam Beck, of the Hydro Power Commission, at Toron- to on `Thursday of last week with a view to learning how soon the Commission can supply current to the municipalities in this part. Courwillor W. Murdie and Mr. W. E. Treleaven were representatives from Lucknow. While Sir Adam was careful about making definite promises he assured the delegates that, if their towns wanted .Hydro power they should have it just :as soon:as the ,necessary plant can be installed, and he promised that an engineer would be,put upon the work right away. Of course there can be nothing definite as to when the Commission will be _able to-ideliver current to any.town, but the impression given was that the necessary equipment will be ;installed within 18 mon- thss_at.the outside. 'Puncture Proof Tires - A company to manufacture puncture proof tires for autos; bicycles, etc., has beenn.organizedin ,Wingham where a large manufacturing ;paint is F,beiing established.

The response was tremendous. By the amount of free pop and ice -cream which was dispensed, it is estimated that bet- ween 800 and 800 people visited the academy and what they viewed was a revelation. Brightly lit were six gleaming .alleys, spotless snack bar and a three4able billiard coon, as well as spacious .ac- eomodation, for spectators and kitchen nook type tables and chairs fora snack in comfort if 'one so desired.
