Keller Members of Huron County Council met Friday morning for a brief session and approved the appointment of Dr. Brian J. Lynch as assistant medical of- ficer of health, effective Septem- ber 2 and as acting MOH effective October 1 for an initial three month period:„ Dr. Lynch, presently in private ,practice in Goderich, will become MOH when he has successfully completed the University of Toronto course in public health. He' will succeed Dr. Frank Mills 'who was also a. Goderich physi- cian in private practice before joining the county as acting MOH and obtaining his public health degree through the University of Toronto: Effective' September 2, Dr. Lynch's salary will be $32,000 per - annum. When he has completed his course at the U of T sometime during 1978, his salary will be in- creased to $36,000 per annum. His salary for 1979 then, will be ne- gotiated with other county department head salaries,. in accordance with county policy. Dr. Lynch has agreed' to remain as MOH in Huron for a period of five years and will enter into 'a five-year Agreement with the county. The agreement ex- pires December 31, 1982, and is renewable after that time. The Board of Health, chaired by William J. Dale of Seaforth, interviewed Dr. Lynch and made the recommendation for his services tocounty council Friday morning. it is usual procedure that the committee make 'its decision concerning a depart- ment head, finalize all of the de- tails with the successful candi- date and then take the matter to county council for final approval. Chairman Dale expressed his concern in this instance that the information about Dr. Lynch's position appeared in the press before county council had ap- proved the matter. He said he heard the story on the radio twice the morning of the county council session. Hydro continues construction despite takeover appeal, delays Ontario' Hydro is going ahead with construction of a power line connecting the Bruce nuclear power station with the Milton transformer station, despite an appeal of the land expropriations and recent decisions by county court judges delaying the take- over of some properties. According to Edward Johnston, Hydro public relations officer for the Georgian Bay region, con- struction will be held up only on properties • where owners have appealed the expropriation. Construction on other portions of the line will go forward as scheduled, with about 60 tower foundations already installed and tower assembly started. Recent rulings by judges in Bruce, Wellington and Dufferin counties have prevented Hydro from taking possession of some properties expropriated in those —areas. Property owners sought an in- junction delaying construction until an appeal of the expropria- tion order is heard in December. They claimed their appeal would be prejudiced if Hydro was allowed to continue construction before it is heard. Grey County Judge D. G. Thompson last week reserved his ruling on a request for a delay from 37 property owners in that county until Hydro has had a chance to ,appeal the rulings by the other three judges. A Hydro spokesman said last week that since the . divisional court of the Ontario Supreme Court has decided to deal with both the owners', appeal to over- turn the expropriations and Hydro's appeal to overturn the delays at the same .time, the latest decision has the same effect as a delay. Hydro cannot go onto the land until a decision is made one way or the other, he said, so the only difference is that the reserved ruling cannot be appealed. The expropriated land involves 214 properties between Bradley Junction, about 16 miles east of the Bruce power station. and Col- beck. near Orangeville. About 50 owners along the route are claim- ing the expropriation is not legal, since Hydro was never made to show it had considered any other route. Hydro was to take possession of the land in Bruce and Grey coun- ties this month. Mr. Johnston re- ports that by the end of August, Hydro will have legal access to all the 'properties between Brad- ley and Colbeck and' construction will proceed on all properties ex- cept those of owners whose names appear on the appeal. The 500 kilovolt line between BRUCEC,S 16 n BRAfL Ev dCT t> t 4 MILES 7 8 LIME 14 p, S NANITIC()KE F 145 Bradley and Milton will eventu- ally connect the Bruce gener- ating station into the transmis- sion grid tapping power from generation stations east and west of Toronto, Hydro says. Energy minister James Taylor earlier this summer announced his decision to allow the expro- priation of land for the• 28 mile section of line between Colbeck and Limehouse. Construction on that section is to begin this fall The hearing of necessity on the 14 'mile Limehouse to Milton section ended Aug. 16. The hearing offi- cer will now prepare his report and present it to the energy minister who then has 90 days to make a decision. Two men facing mischief charges Two Howick Township men face criminal charges following a rash of road sign and mailbox de- struction last Saturday night. Raymond 'Sanderson, 22, of Fordwich and Randall Mitchell, 17, of Gorrie have been charged with mischief in connection with the episode. —Mr. and Mrs. Jim Fitch and Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Montgomery visited last Thursday with Mr. and Mrs. Sarney Keemar of Toronto. "I just, don't like this coming out before our meeting," he told council Friday. "It tends to make rubber stamps of the 45 members of county council." • Goderich Reeve Bill Clifford was even more adamant about his feelings that the story should not have been published in the press or broadcast by the elec- tronic media until county council had approved the hiring of Dr. Lynch. "I don't know what action we can take to see that it doesn't happen in the future," said Clif- ford, "but 'up with this we will not put," to quote Churchill." The source of the story was not revealed, although Dr. Mills said he was questioned concerning the matter by a reporter who already knew that Dr. Lynch was the likely 'candidate for the MO'H's post. NUTRITIONIST In other business, Mrs. Lor- raine Devereaux of Seaforth will become the new nutritionist with the Perth District Health Unit and the Huron County Health Unit. Her salary will be $15,000 per annum and her duties will commence this fall. ,Mrs. Devereaux will work part time in each of the two counties, county council learned. A joint committee on health services for the two counties recommended the idea of hiring a full time nutitionist and sharing the salary. Dr. Frank Mills, Huron MOH and Dr. Susan Tam- blyn, Perth MOH, will work with the secretary -treasurers of the ttvo health units to draft a suTh able agreement concerning the shared employee. "It just shows we can work to- gether on certain things," said Reeve Dale who expressed his sai;isfaction about the decision. Reeve Harold Robinson, how- ever, felt hiringa nutritionist was unnecessary. He, said few people in Huron -and Perth are suffering from malnutition and felt the duties of the new employee would have to be carefully laid out and scrutinized. "The elephant has got his trunk in the door," said Robinson who was referring to the much dis- puted amalgamation of Huron and Perth health units. • the sh•w with three blooms, the winner was Kathy Forsyth.

(Brampton Daily Times Photo) Twins' 90th birthdays By Jack Campbell , Daily Times Staff Writer "i am one-half hour older than my twin sister," says 90 -year-old Albert Nethery of Hamilton. "So that's why you have been bossing everyone around for years,- quipped the ' daughters of both Mr. Nethery and his twin sister, Mrs. Mary McGill. Mr. Nethery and his twin. 'Mary McGill, are celebrating their 90th birthdays today at a family gathering at the home of Mrs. McGill's son, Glenn McGill, 8 Marsden Crescent, Brampton. It is just a family gathering for the Nethery and McGill families, but when the two families hold a re -union, a sizeable crowd attends. Mr. Nethery has three children and three grandchildren and his twin sister has five living children, 12 grandchildren and three great-grand- children. Relatives were in attendance at today's party from California. Montreal, Wing• ham, Hamiltqn, Bolton, Brampton and other points. The twins were recipients of many small gifts and bouquets of flowers from their families and also received a framed cer- tificate from Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau r and a plaque from Premier William Davis. BORN IN EAST WAWANOSH The 90 -year-old twins were born in a large log house in East Wawanosh Township near Lake Huron. They were both educated in one of the original "little red schoolhouses" and were brought up on the family farm. Mr. Nethery said his father needed help so he left school when a youth to help his family on the farm. When he was 30 'years of age, he moved to Hamilton and was employed at Tolman's Brass Foundry until he retired. Mr. Nethery is a humorous storyteller and his stories include the incidents in his career when he was one of Canada's checker champions. "I have a. plaque, at home for winning most games at a major tournament. When I reached the age of 80;, i was dropped down in classification, bull kept on winning so they moved me up again." he said. "1 still work at it and T love a game," he said TR ACED FAMILY HISTORY Mr Nethery said his most engrossing project was tracing his family's history. "I traced our family through Canada, to Ireland, to Scotland and finally to Scan- danavia Working at the history was like a disease i couldn't leave it alone," he said. .,Mrs. McGill, a delightful lady and now a resident of the Tullamore Nursing Horne, • was an accomplished church organist and pianist in her younger years. She was married while still on the farm and she and her husband farmed for many years in the Clinton district Mrs McGill lived in Clinton prior to .moving to Brampton to he near her family. Although Mrs McGill said, "you don't need to mention that," another bit of information came from one of her daughters. Mrs. McGill was an avid horti- culturist and grew several hundred varie- ties of iris. She also developed several new strains of the beautiful flower. The two families are gathered together today to trade stories of bygone days and to "do honor to the twins whose memories go back nearly 80 years when they were youngsters attending their little red schoolhouse. — Brampton Daily Times, August 20, ,*1, `;Qac,, 1 --.1eMI,M1WAt Go
