The committee report stated that James McIntosh of lot 17.and 18, Con. 1 and lot 17, Con. 2 Township of 'Tuckerstnith cleared about 15 acres without a permit and Thomas Mitchell of Part Lot 7 and East Part of Lot 8, Con. 12, Western division, Township Of Ashfield cleared about 10 acresdf trees with- out a permit. It has been recommended that if Mr. McIntosh does not agree in writing by Oct. 2, to plant a three -row windbreak as approved by the Ministry of Natural Resources, the county's tree commissioner is to proceed with charges. Four areas are to be re- planted. Mr. Mitchell has to agree in writing'b'y Oct. 2 to plant a three- row windbreak in two areas or tiie' tree commis- sioner will lay charges. "I find it appalling Mr. McIntosh saw fit to bulldoze the area without a permit," said Stanley Township Reeve, Paul D. Steckle. He asked if the contractors who did the work did not care about the bylaws. Reeve Steckle suggested council "come down tough" on these people. . Hullet Township Reeve T, J. Cunningham, chairman of the development committee defended' Mr. McIntosh stating that Mr. McIntosh felt some of the area did not qualify as bush and could therefore be cleared. An application to clear six acres of trees consisting of basswood, American elm, white oakand white spruce by McIntosh Poultry Farms of Lot 19, Con. 2 HRS, Tuckersniith Township was denied by the committee. The tree commissioner re- commended that an ' open area of approximately '11/2 acres be replanted. The committee for the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority objects to the application, but submitted an alternate clearing and planting plan if the clearing is approved. It was also noted the Ministry of Natural Resources does not consider the clearing to be a "minor" exception to the bylaw. Nine other applications for clearing yere either ap- proved in - full or in part. They are as follows: An application by George F. Gollen of Lot 40, Con.

Chief stresses safety with stoves, fireplaces Wingham' Fire Chief Dave Crothers reported -11 chimney fire calls :An the January . to September period of this year and said he suspects that number will double or even triple by the time the year is out. Mr. Crothers stressed that proper care and main- tenance of woodburning appliances wouldsub- stantially decrease the number of chimney fires and cautipned, the public to exercise care in the in- stallation, maintenance and operation of such things as . woodstoves and fireplaces. He said a consumer must check the ULC rating on a prefabricated chimney to ensure it will stand the furnace's heat load. Some chimneys are designed to take up to 1,000 degrees Fah- renheit, he said, and end up taking 2,000 degrees, which causes much of the trouble: Mr. Crothers advised homeowners to -check wiith the building inspector before installing a woodhurning . appliance, to contact their insurance companies and to make sure there is enough air space around the ap- pliance- when it is being installed. He reported that the department has responded to a total of 55 calls to date this year. In addition to the 11 chimney fires, there have been eight house fires, seven barn fires and seven truck— car and highway calls. Six men from the Wingham Fire Department attended a seminar at the Bruce Nuclear Power Development on breathing apparatus, water and foam. Carrie area man charged in opticalshop burglary A Gorrie-area man has been charged with break, enter and theft in connection with a break-in at Country Spectacles, east of Molesworth, Sept. 19. Benedict John Schuitema, 19, of RR 1, Gorrie, was arrested by the Listowel police last Wednesda, following an investigation 4 conducted by officers from the Wingham detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police. As a result of the investigation, Mr. Schuitema also has been charged with an additional five counts of theft from vehicles around the Wroxeter and Gorrie area, dating back to 1980. He is scheduled to appear in provincial court at Wingham on Oct. 21. • Const: John Jessup of the Wingham OPP, who conducted the investigation, reported that two witnesses saw Mr. Schuitema's vehicle parked at Country Spectacles early do the morning of the break-in. The most valuable item stolen was a Tens meter valued at nearly $1.400, he said. Also MARY BRIDGE, a native of Scotland, lives at RR 1, Wroxeter. In addition to taking university courses on extension, being active with the United Church Women and pursuing several hobbies, she finds time to volunteer for work at the re abilitation unit of the Wingham and District Hospitei(This is the first in a series of thumbnail sketches of volunteers at the rehabilitation unit.) 'taken were a display of antique spectacles, a 40 -channel CB radio and power converter, some change and coupons. There was evidence the thief had entered the College Corners store adjoining the optical shop, but no evidence anything was taken from it, he added. Most of the property, taken in this and the earlier thefts has been recovered, Const. Jessup reported. He said that, following his arrest, Mr. Schuitema led police to an abandoned farmhouse near Molesworth where the stolen property was stored. Three of the other charges relate to thefts from vehicles in Gorrie, Fordwich and at the Howick Community Centre on the same night as the break-in, Const. Jessup reported. The remaining two charges go back to thefts from vehicles in Gorrie in 1980. Mr. Schuitema was previously convicted of breaking into Country Spectacles last fall.
