Tuckersmith Telephone
cuts ribbon on new office
KIPPEN - Continual upgrades to
equipment are what kept the Tuck-
ersmith Telephone System viable
and from being sold to a competi-
tor, said chairman Dave Brock as
the ribbon was cut on a new office
and work centre in Kippen Satur-
day afternoon.
Brock credited past and present
Tuckersmith Telephone- commis-
sioners with recognizing the need
to keep up to date, and said that
was how the system remained com-
petitive when other small municipal
systems were being sold off to Bell
Canada when the cost of upgrading
became prohibitive.
About 200 people attended the
grand opening of the new Kippen
office, which Brock said is only the
first part of a sprucing -up for the
company. The Bayfield switching
office is scheduled for a face-lift in
the coming months, he promised.
Brock also pointed out the new
building has been constructed debt -
free, and without any government
assistance.
MP Murray Cardiff presented a
new Canada flag to the company
and offered his congratulations.
MPP Paul Klopp also extendeldrhn
best wishes and said he has long
been a supporter of the independent
telephone systems, including his
time as a commissioner of the Hay
system.
Huron County warden Tom
Tomes said he was pleased to be
present, if surprised.
"You're not usually invited to
something unless you put money
into it," he joked, but said he was
glad to see the company prosper
without need for government assis-

EXETER - Beginning this fall,
the ABCA will be cooperating with
area nurseries in the delivery of its:
Windbreak and Roadside Tree.
Planting Program. The nurseries
will serve as distribution points for
the over 10,000 two metre hard-
woods and 60 cm evergreens pro-
vided to area residents and munici-
palities annually.
Conservation staff say there are
several benefits to planting trees in
rural areas. Landowners, munici-
palities and the Conservation Au-
thority can realize the advantages
of the Windbreak and Roadside
Tree Planting Program, including a
reduction in soil erosion due to the
implementation of roadside and
windbreak planting of such species
of Norway maple and white ash
trees.
Steve Harbum, the ABCA coor-
dinator of this program, stresses
that "orders should be placed ear-
ly," for both the fall and spring
plantings. Order forms stating nur-
sery locations and other necessary
information, can be picked : tap aY
the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation
Authority's administration office or
by calling the ABCA at 235-2610.
