Time warp
Hullett discusses CKNX
The Ethel farm of Robin Dunbar looked as if it had been warped back to1645 as a re-creation
of part of the English civil war was undertaken last weekend. Participants came from as far
away as South Carolina, as well as local areas. Here the soldiers show their defense stance
with their 12 ft. pikes under the flag of St. George.
Hullcl Council resolved at their
June 2 meeting to give their support
to the failing Wingham television
station, CKNX.
Cuts in staff, as well as a change
in programme formatting, is a
direct result of the decision to
restructure CKNX Broadcasting
Ltd.
The mandate of CKNX has
always been to provide agricultur
ally-oriented program content,
directed to the concerns of the com
munities within Huron, Bruce and
Grey counties.
Council felt that the importance
of the locally-established media
must be recognized, and serious
consideration given to the unavoid
able reduction of coverage of local
events, markets, and interests, due
to the decrease in staffing.
The council members fear that
CKNX will become merely a relay
station for CFPL-TV in London,
and will not retain its identity as the
voice of this area.
Council resolved to make their
concerns known to Martha Black
bum, Chairman of the Blackburn
Group, owner of CKNX, CFPL-
TV, and the C.R.T.C. The resolu
tion will also be presented to Huron
County Council for deliberation
and support.
Council accepted ihc tender from
Robert Nicholson Construction Co.
Ltd. for the open work on the Medd
Drainage Works at a cost of
$4,839.61.
The tender from Ron Williams
Drainage Inc. for the closed work
on the same drain at a cost of
$10,159.65 was also accepted.
The amount of $12,079 was
approved by council for Hullet's
share of the Clinton fire area bud

Darlene Vincent resigned as Ani
mal Control Officer, effective June
30.
Council approved, in principal,
the concept of the establishment of
a medium security penitentiary in
Huron County.
Merchants say they’ll drag
heels on Sunday shopping CROSS CANADA MARKETPLACE
IT'S FAST - IT'S EASY! ONE CALL, ONE BILL DOES IT ALL.___________Though the provincial govern
ment tried to give everyone a
"Common Pause" day it is almost a
certainty that when the bill to legal
ize Sunday shopping is voted on
this Thursday it will pass. Somethe
larger businesses were open this
past Sunday already.
Through a press release Huron
MPP Paul Klopp voiced his dis
pleasure saying, "Your government
tried to get legislation which would
allow a Common Pause Day. The
reality is that legislation, however
well intended, seems not be work
ing and is becoming difficult to
enforce fairly."
Questioning the arguments that
Sunday shopping would improve
the economy, increase employment
and reduce cross border shopping,
Mr. Klopp also expressed concern
with workers being "coerced" into
working on Sundays when they
want time with their family.
So with the big guy once again
getting what he wants what will it
mean to the little guy.
"For workers and owner-operated
retail stores in our small towns and
villages, I feel that there is a need
to ensure that they ljave time off.,"
said Mr. Klopp. They have told me
that to remain competitive they
must have a Common Pause Day
for themselves and their employ
ees."
The basis of competition in
retailing, he says should be man
agement ability not cheap labour
and long hours.
Both Don Scrimgeour of Scrim-
Atoms control
continued from page 7
ment al half time, Blyth came out
with determination to win the
game. Mathew Morrison scored
two goals, one unassisted and the
other assisted by Jeff Cowan. Blyth
played very well and received good
goal tending from Adam Blair.
The May 25 game between Blyth
Atom soccer team and the
Lucknow Mustangs had to be
cancelled as they were unable to
field a team on that day. However,
Blyth continued its strong scoring
season on Tuesday, June 2, with an
impressive 5-2 victory over
Goderich Leeds.
The game started with an early
goal by Goderich with a huge
bouncing ball just skinning the
crossbar. Blyth never looked back
after dominating the play for the
rest of the half, just missing on
several attempts and finally tying
geour's in Blyth and Allan Teeft of
the Brussels EMA said they will
mot open Sundays...yet. "We're
going to play a wait and see game,"
said Mr. Scrimgeour. "I'm not say
ing it will never happen, but cer
tainly not until we have to."
"We're dragging our heels on
this," said Mr. Teeft. "I believe in a
family day so unless it adversely
affects my business or competitors
around me open and force my hand
I will not open Sunday."
Like Mr. Scrimgeour, however,
Mr. Teeft does see the day when he
will have no choice. "It will be a
domino effect. First the stores in
London will start, so the ones in
the communities nearby will have
to until it eventually reaches here,"
he said, adding "All it will do for us
here is spread the shopping over
another day and increase our costs.
Mr. Teeft said none of his staff
will be forced to work Sundays.
"There is no obligation. They will
be asked first and if they refuse I
will look outside and hire part-time
students.
Mr. Scrimgeour said under the
circumstances he has only casually
commented on the possiblity to his
employees, but reception has been
cool. "No one is lining up to be
first," he said.
Mr. Klopp, who stated he will
vote against the legislation said, "In
Huron County our Sundays have
been special days, days for families
and for going to church. I believe it
has been part of our rural heritage."
second half
things up on a close-in goal by
Matt Anderson, assisted by David
Ansley.
Blyth controlled the second half,
allowing only about two good shots
through the defense, one of which
scored. The remainder of the
second half scoring was all theirs
though with Matt Anderson,
scoring all goals assisted twice
again by David. One of Matt's
goals was particularly impressive
as he received a goal kick from
Blyth's end near the centre line and
was able to work the ball past six
close defenders and outrun a last
defender who had a good five yard
lead on him to complete a half field
scoring rush.
All players were enthusiastic and
tried their best and again there was
an excellent turnout of almost all
on the team.
