Home My WebLink AboutTimes-Advocate, 1981-02-11, Page 17May keep machines A decision will be made March 3 as to whether or not 10 machines confiscated at Knapp's amusement park in Grand Bend will be returned to the company. The machines, called Holly Cranes and Roto Merchandisers, were taken in August, 1979 and are worth about $30,000. Their use is only allowed at agriculture fairs and exhibitions. The Knapp company pleaded guilty at Sarnia in September to two charges of keeping acommon gaming house, and was fined $500 on each count. The merchandiser and crane, both of which operate for a quarter, are equipped with arms to grab or push a prize such a plastic squirt gun or lighter. An example of each sat looking strangely out of place across from Judge Glenn Marshman's bench in the courtroom. The machines were taken from two Fun City Amusement Park locations in Grand Bend where a company official said they had been used for years. The official, Brian Tyler, said they can be sold in the U.S. where their use is legal.

That's right. a tuba you know, those big musical in- struments that some poor band member has to carry for a whole parade. Lambton County Council is hoping someone will have one they wouldn't mind giv- ing away. At last Wednesday's county council meeting in Sarnia, the re- quest for a tuba came from Ken Stothers. Stothers is the director of the Huron House home for boys with problems at Brights Grove. He was presenting his an- nual report to council. Grand Bend reeve Robert Sharen asked Stothers if his home had ever purchased a tuba. Stothers said that a new tuba cost $2,000 to $3,- 000 and that the home had other priorities for their money. However, they were still looking for a tuba, because one of their residents who is a grade 13 student has a chance to go to university next year to study music. Stothers said he would very much like to have a tuba of his own. Sharen said that he had remembered the request for a tuba from an earlier meeting. He was told that the home is still hoping someone will come forward with an old tuba to donate. In other business at county council: A report was heard from the Lambton County Library system. Council was told that libraries "thrive on hard times". and that cir- culation at the Lambton libraries was up substanital- ly from previous years. The head librarian was chastized by some members of council for not staying within budget limits in 1980. However, other council members praised the library for its efficiency. it was pointed out that according to 1979 statistics, Lambton has one of the least expensive library systems per capita, Lambton costs came to $7.22 per person. while the city of Sarnia was $20.12 per per- son.

Discussed at length at the county coucil meeting was the possibilites of the closing of the railroad tracks from Lucan to Sarnia. Forest representativesLeighCrozier and Ron Murray asked coun- cil to back them in their requests to CPR to keep the line open. The matter was referred to planning com- mittee for consideration. Wins by acclamation Leigh Crozier is Forest lawyer Leigh Crozier was acclaimed as Lambton's Liberal can- didate in Petrolia Monday evening. Crozier went unopposed as five other nominees declined the position. Crozier has been active in municipal politics for several years and is currently serving as Forest's deputy reeve. This is a first attempt at the provincial level. Crozier said he wants to fight the campaign on issues, not personalities. He sees the economic issue as most important. "Ontario is the slowest growth province in Canada, it should be the highest," he says. Crozier said that he is also very concerned about education in Ontario. "I don't think we're receiving quality education. We're not training our young people for today." he explained. He feels that industry and school should work together on apprenticeship programs to prepare young people for the working world. More on- the-job training should be given, and classrooms should have more practical experience, he added. Crozier. said that he doesn't like the county school board system. He said that schools should be under local control, and the community should be more involved in education. Also high on his list of issues are the problems of the environment.
