Home My WebLink AboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1993-02-03, Page 5Looking for guardian angel. To the editor There is a guardian angel living in the Lucknow area .and he drives a red and silver pickup truck. Last Thursday evening (Jan- uary 28) at about 7:30 p.m. I was driving from Brussels to Wingham on Highway 86. Just east of Bluevale I drove into a whiteout b1i and and became totally. disoriei ted as I, could no longer see the car ahead of me. I knew someone was behind me so I carefully touched my brakes to signal that I was in trouble. Suddenly the vehicle behind me (the pickup truck) passed on my right, so I knew I. was in the wrong lane. I fell in behind two wonderful red lights and fol- lowed them to the stop sign at Bluevale. A tall man got out of his truck and walked back to ask me if I was all right (which I wasn't). He said he -vas On -his way to Lucknow and he offered to guide me in Wingham where I was attending a hospital meeting. I am very grateful to this man for his thoughtfulnessand kind- ness and I do not even know his name. I can only hope that he will see this letter and accept my sincere thanks for rescuing me from a dangerous situation. I would like to thank him in person, so if he sees this letter would he please call me at 1- 800-267-0535 between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Beverley A. Brown Brussels, Ontario.

Klopp speaks on free trade fall -out by Paul Klopp, MPP Huron Two Unfortunate events in the news this week showed how the Free Trade Deal is not working for us in Ontario. At Huron Park. the American manufacturerPoullan has told its employees that the plant will be closed at the end of March. The company has manufactured weed eaters at Huron Park since 1979. They will now be manufac- tured in its U.S. plant. The other announcement affected Ontario's steel companies. They have been hit with ani antidumping tariff. Steel makers -worldwide have been hurt by the recession. The Free Trade deal was supposed to create one big market without bar- riers, but it seems that when Ameri- can businesses are hurting they ask for and get protective tariffs. This has also happened to ' the hog farmers in Ontario. It takes time and money to justify why the bar- riers should be removed. It involves hiring American lawyers and lobby- ists in Washington. In Huron we have felt the fall -out LUCKNOW & DISTRICT LIONS CLUB Dabber Bingo Lucknow Community Centre Sunday, Feb. 7/93 Community Centre opens at 6:30 p.m. Bingo starts at 7:15 p.m. from the trade deal and now we face the prospects of another and bigger deal. If Mexico is included Canada will be on the 'edge of the circle and the U.S. will 'sit in the centre and dictate the terms. This can be seen already as the auto makers move from Michigan and Ontario to Texas. Ontario has more efficient and better labouryet the companies want to be near Mexico, or in it, so they can reduce wages and not worry about the environ- ment. When the trade deal was announced there were supposed to be training for workers who lost their jobs. This hasn't come from Ottawa: Instead the,unemployed are blamed and punished by reduced rates. This puts more of the costs of Free Trade failure on the Ontario taxpayer. We have to provide for those who have suffered, but tax revenues to provide our social assistance programs shrink when plants move to the U.S. or Mexico. Ontario can compete.
