Last week's rabies clinic in .Luck -
now kept Dr. Allan' Hawkins and
staff of the Leedham Veterinary
Clinic busy. In three hours, 374
pets were inoculated at the low cost
clinic.
These clinics are a combined
effort of the Bruce -Grey -Owen
Sound Health Unit and the Grey -
Bruce Veterinary Association. The
major goal is to have as many
people bring in as many pets as
possible for inoculation. This arca
offers one of the lowest cost clinics
'in Ontario. '
The story of the day, according to
Dr. Hawkins, was a resident of
Perth County who travelled to
Lucknow with 26 cats, which.wcre
given the vaccine for a total of $45.
This is the maximum charged 'to
one person at the area clinics. In
Perth County the charge is $10 per
animal with no maximum.
Chris Munn, of the health unit,
said they aim to raise enough
money at the clinics to cover all
expenses ,including the vaccine.
The number of. rabid • animals
reported within the health unit area
this year is three times as high as
last year's numbers. As a result, 83
persons have had to undergo the
rabies immunization series of injec-
tions . after exposure to rabid or
suspected rabid animals, compared
to • 50 persons last year.
In Bruce -Grey -Owen Sound it is
compulsory for all dogs, cats and
riding horses to have regular rabies
vaccinations. Failure to do so could
result in a fine up to $5,000.
"Ah, do I haveto?" could
be what Bear Conley is
asking as he prepares him-
self for his rabies
inoculation by Allan Haw-
kins, of the Leeham
Veterinary Clinic. Bear's
friend, Lorene Conley; as-
sures him it won't hurt a bit
and it really is for his own
good. (Pat Livingston

Kinloss' OMB hearing
set for December 3
KINLOSS TOWNSHIP - Almost
two_years after Kinloss
council voted no to a proposed
rezoning of township property to
allow gravel. extraction, the matter
will come before an official Ontario
Municipal Board hearing. The
hearing is scheduled for Friday,
Dec. 3, 10 a.m. at the Kinloss

allow rezoning of 15 hectares at Lot
16, Concession 5, From .A1
(agriculture) to M2 (extractive
industrial).
On Aug. 4, a meditation meeting
was held in an attempt to see if
some solution could be arrived at
prior to the expense of a full board
meeting. At the conclusion of that
meeting, the appointed mediator,
Bill Thomson, made a recommen-
dation to the OMB chair that a full
hearing be scheduled.
During council's regular meeting
Oct. 18, council accepted the quote
of Cottrill Paving for supplying and
applying the appropriate tonnes of
}{L4 asphalt pavement, at the rate
of, $36.80 per tonne, on Huron
Street in Kinlough.
The municipality's social contract.
agreement met with approval and
Kinloss will therefore receive the
Township outstanding balance of the 1993
unconditionalgrant.
Bruce County highways
department has asked for input from
the municipality on their long range
construction program. In reply,
council instructed Mark Becker,
clerk treasurer, to inform the com-
mittee that. the Bruce County Road

reconstruction and should take high
priority.

Liberals sweep riding, country
by Mona Irwin
The virtual collapse of the NDP
and the Tories will have "treme-
ndous' ramifications" for the
country, saidFiiii ii Bruce's new
MP.
"But it's too early to make any
comments about it," Paul Steckle
said as heprepared to greet
cheering, applauding supporters at
his victory party Monday night. "I
haven't had time to reflect on it."
The Liberals' stunning national'
sweep stripped the NDP and Tories
of their status as official parties.
Neither party was able to get the
minimum number of members (12) ,
elected to the House of Commons.
The loss of official party status will
seriously hamper the abilities of
both to get funding and air time for
future elections.
The scope of the Liberal. victory
came as something of a surprise
even to Steckle.
What happened across Canada is
similar to what happened in Ontario
in the last provincial election, when
Ontario voters gave the NDP a .
sweeping majority as a protest
against the Liberals and the
Progressive Conservatives, Steckle'
said..
But despite pre-election predic-
tions, voters did not embrace the
Reform Party.

"I expected they would," Steckle
said. "But I think they .realized a
government with no experience
can't deal effectively with. the is-
sues:"
Steckle also said he didn't believe
the Progressive Conservative Party
is dead.
"It's simply a victim of the issues
of the. day," he said. "It will be
back."
Steckle left the stage briefly
during his speech to welcome the
defeated PC Huron -Bruce incum-
bent, Murray Cardiff. The two
returned to the , stage together, as
the crowd gave Cardiff a standing
ovation.
Cardiff praised' the Huron -Bruce
campaign as a "clean" one.
"I've been the MP for Huron -
Bruce since 1980, and it's been a
great privilege to serve the voters of
this area. 1 hope you will give Paul
the same consideration you' gave
me, as it does take time to get a
feel for the issues."
The Progressive Conservative
Party has "not done very well,"
Cardiff admitted, "but as Paul said,
it's not gone, In 1984 people
predicted the demise of the
Liberals, and look at them today."
He later said he would not make
any decisions at this time about
whether he will stay in politics.
Later, Steckle said Cardiff's cam-
paign was. "hurt" by the national
Progressive Conservative Party.
"Their demise was evident in the
Mast -couple of—weeks, especially
. with those television commercials
about Chr&ien," said Steckle, refer-
ring to TV ads released by the
federal Progressive Conservative
Party that emphasized Chreticn's
partial facial paralysis. Voters, and
even staunch Tories, were outraged
by the ads, and Prime Minister Kim
Campbell, after viewing them,
