(photo/submitted) Donnelly Bus Ride Tour a success By Nina Van Lieshout TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF LUCAN — Lucan coun- cil Monday held a brief discussion about the progress of the heritage museum. Mayor Tom McLaughlin says it is his understanding the heritage committee will put in a grant with the federal government based on a 3,800 square foot building. Heritage committee member Sheila Hodgins confirms this, saying they are asking for a $600,000 grant. A fundraiser was held Feb. 3 to assist in the funding for the building. The second annual Donnelly Bus Ride Tour was attended by about 230 people, double over 2005. Participants were taken on a tour of the path that was taken the night the Donnellys were massacred by their murderers. Two buses, courtesy of Rob Murphy at Murphy buslines took the partic- ipants for the tour. The tour was over an hour and stopped at various locations including Cedar Swamp school house, around where Will Donnelly lived and the old home- stead of the Donnelly family where Rob Salts did a narrative about the history of the Donnellys. Hodgins says Donnelly books, T-shirts and caps were sold as mem- orabilia, commencing the night. Hodgins is pleased with the community support and says they raised about $2,500. Canada gains Mexico market beef entry CANADA — Mexico is expanding market access for a wider range of Canadian and U.S. beef products. Mexico will allow imports of bone -in beef, bringing Canada a step closer to resuming nor- mal trade. American and Mexican officials agreed to a har- monized Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) last year. This step reflects the current guidelines set by the World Trade Organization for Animal Health (OIE). In the past Mexico per- mitted only imports of boneless Canadian beef from animals under 30 months of age. LHPWSS asks for water restrictions By Pat Bolen TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF GRAND BEND — The Lake Huron Primary Water Supply System asked area residents Monday to imple- ment voluntary water use in response to continuing loss of power supply from Hydro One. The 3.5 megawatt backup generator at the water treatment plant has been running since the storm began Saturday. Hydro One reported continuing problems on the main power supply to the water treatment plant located near Grand Bend. The power supply to the plant had been sporadic since the storm on the weekend and were still in place Tuesday morning. Andrew Henry, regional water supply manager, said Tuesday morning LHPWSS was waiting for an update from Hydro One, who were hoping to have the power back up later that morning but still had several things to track down. "We're essentially waiting for them to get the power lines back up and running." Henry said the water restrictions would stay in place for around half a day after the power is restored in order to fill the reservoirs. The following water use restrictions are recommend- ed: • limit or postpone residential use of water and con- sider using dishwashers and clotheswashers after the emergency has ended. • take a brief shower rather than a bath, or consider delaying until after the emergency period has ended; • suspend unnecessary use of water for industrial and commercial establishments, as well as construction sites, such as washing operations. The LHPWSS said if the resumption of power is fur- ther delayed and water consumption depletes area reservoir levels, mandatory water restrictions will be implemented.
