While the recommendations of
LOndon planner Ed Cornies on the
future of local government in Bruce
County could be crucial to the
future of this area, it doesn't
arouse Much local interest • among
residents of Lucknow and Kinloss.
About ten turned out to a
meeting at Lucknow Town Hall on
WedneSday of last week and heard
Mr. Comities explain recommenda-
tions in this preliminary report
which has been presented to Bruce
County Council. Earlier meetings
at Kincardine and Tiverton produc-
ed about the same /attendance at
each meeting.
In this report Mr. Cornies
suggested the amalgamation of the
municipalities of. Kincardine, Tiv-
erton, Ripley, Lucknow and the
Townships o1 Kincardine, Huron ,
and Kinloss into One governing
body. The County Of Bruce would
be reorganized from 31 municipal-
governments down into 6.
Almost before the recommenda-
tion haci. a chance to be diScussed,
he made a second proposal
recommending that Lucknow, Rip-
ley, Kinloss and Huron form one
governing body and• that Bruce
reduce its councils from 31 to 13.
Kincardine was left by itself as one
unit of goVernment.
Last week's public meeting was
basically an informal discussion
among those present which induct:
ed the Reeves of ,Kinloss and
tucknow, councillorS from Luck-
now, the Sentinel representative
and about three interested citizens.
Its, purpose, if nothing else, gave
Mr. Corniesf an area viewpoint
Which could -possibly be considered
in his final recommendations.
None 'of those present expressed
complete opposition to amalgama-
tion if benefits, warranting the
change, could be shown.
One thing in his report was clear.
Neither Lucknow nor Kinloss
wanted to be amalgamated with the
town of Kincardine if the opinions
of the ten present could be
considered as representative.
Lucknow and Kinloss Township
are in the unique position of having
many shared services such as
recreation, fire, medical and social
.with the townships of Ashfield and
West Wawanosh in Huron County.
NO form of amalgamation' in Bruce
County could produce an improve-
ment on these programs which
have, taken years to •negotiate.
Amalgamation, as it would affect
these services, would •be a back-
ward step for this area.
Reeve George Joynt of Lucknow
pointed out the fact that any
residential growth of Lucknow is
presently very restricted in a north
Lucknow Fire Department an-
sered a call to the farm home of Ted
Vander Velde a, few miles west of
Lucknow • on Highway 86 last
Saturday shortly after 9 a.m.
A bolt of lightning had struck a
pole and followed the clothesline
into the back of the Vander Velde.
house, setting fire to a potato bag.
A line of hose was laid but was not
needed as the fire was quickly
extinguished without its use.
The ,family were hoine at the
time and fottunately no damage
resulted except to the clothes line
which was burned through in three
places.

or north-west direction and that the
most logical Lucknow residential'
growth pattern was to the south
into Huron County.
He suggested two alternatives to
solve the,problem: Either Lucknow
be given permission to annex the
needed land from Huron County or
Lucknow petition the proper auth-
orities, to be removed from Bruce
and become part of 'Huron County.
This is, not a new point of view by
Reeve Joynt. He has expressed it
previously. It is felt by many in this
community that Lucknow, in many
ways, is more commonly aligned
with Huron County than with
Bruce.
ObServers at last week'S Meeting
would leave very uncertain 'of
whether Mr. Cornies' report offer-
ed anything of concrete value to,
this area. In many ways, in shared
services, this community is already
many steps ahead of, the Cornies'
report 1 and implementation of his
report would, in many ways, only
"muddy the water". '
Lucknow and adjacent municip-
alities have seen an "iron curtain"
go Up right down highway 86 when
it comes to dealings , between
Huron and Bruce County. School
Boards. The KingdoMs of "Ches-
ley" and "Clinton", on good days,
sometimes talk to one another, but
rarely without difficulty.
The lack of co-operation' on
"border issues" has left many in
this area disillusioned over county
school boards.
Let's not let it happen at the
municipal council levels. Amalga-
mation in Bruce, ruining present
shared programs as they exist,
might be just the thing to do it.
