Steve and Joan ; Chsm are the 2008 recipients of the Lucknow Chamber of Commerce eommunilyr service award. $ ••. BY GARIT Sentinel Staff Joan and Steve Chamney were recently honoured by the Lucknow -and- District Chamber of Commerce . with the com- munity service award. The Chamneys are this year's reipients due to the community work they have done, particularly in the past year. One of the biggest proj- ects they were a part of last year was the 2008 Lucknow Reunion. They acted as co-chairs for the reunion and they said it was a breeze with all of the help they received from the community throughits service clubs and volun Leers, etc. "We co-chaired the reunion last year and we had the good job because we were in the driver's seat and everyone else was pushing the car down street. It was great," sai Joan Chamney. "We couldn't have done it without all of the volun- teers. We just steered them in the right direction and they did the rest of the work, it was great," .added t, r. Steve Chamney., The pair have. also a big part of the communi- ty with other things like minor hockey, baseball, the fire department and Joan's fund-raising for the many things being, done at the Lucknow United _- Church. Continued on e6 csition to Red Bay .plans BY PAT HATPIN Special to the Sentinel Dozens of letters and nearly two hours of delegations tried to convince Bruce County council to drop some of the changes in its official plan update. Opposition is strongest to plans for a West Road through Red Bay on the penin- sula. After ,the meeting, resident Doug Pratt wasn't -sure the 30. or so residents made their points with the planning committee. "I feel that the public hada good chance to have input today, but David Smith who is a very stubborn planner is going to per- sist in trying to get his plan passed the way he wants it," Pratt said. Smith is a staff planner who provides guidance and provincial policy to county councillors, who then make. the decisions. Red Bay residents say a county road through the largely -cottage and resort community is expensive, unwarranted and hazardous. Councillor Milt McIver wants a month u to look at :those arguments, and at con- cerns about rural land designations on the peninsula and in the Kincardine area. "I think to Make a quick decision today would be inappropriate until we assess some of the suggestions they've brought forward," said McIver, who represents Northern Bruce Peninsula. Planning chair Charlie Bagnato agreed with the need for more time to review information that residents brought to the plug committee. "They had very salient points that we certainly have to listen to. I believe we'll go back to the drawing board now and do some homework," Bagnato said. "From what I saw around the table today I would think there's a very' good possibility there will be some changes." Bruce County councillors will review the, proposed amendment to the official plan and the points residents raised, and bring issue - and West Road - back for a vote next month.
