Lakeshore is the only area MHBC made no sug- gestion to remove land from as it is projected to fall short of its 20 -year demand by four units. "So yes, a lot of land, a lot of land is available," he said. MHBC's rationale for the majority of its suggests was either the land is unserviced on the fringe of the current settlement boundary or the land is prime agriculture real estate. Following Chauvin's pres- entation, Council went over a map of each hamlet dis- cussing MHBC's suggestions and making minor altera- tions to the proposed redel- egation of land use. Discussion over the maps lasted an hour and a half. "So in some cases this could definitely affect a per- son's property, they way they are using it now or the way they foresee using it in the future," Mayor Mitch Twolan told the Lucknow Sentinel following council. "So it is incumbent that people get involved in this process to pay attention to what's going on in their communities and in particular maybe their properties." The redelegation of land affects how that land can be used, which may prevent landowners from building on the premises or what financial activities are permitted. Those that will be affected by the changes will recieve a letter. However, Mayor Twolan was quick to remind that mail isn't always reliable. "At the end of the day peo- ple [need to] get engaged in this process," he said. Municipality clerk Sonya Watson will now present a letter of Council's sugges- tions and concerns over MHBC's plan to the director of planning, who will respond with Staff's remarks. "From there, we as a coun- cil will decide if we're happy with those discussions that come back from the director and then forward those on to our consultants," Mayor Twolan said. Body of missing Lucknow man found, foul play not suspected The body of a missing 43 -year-old Lucknow man was found Friday, Nov. 27, in a field north of Zion Road in Huron County. Keith Webb had been reported missing Thurs- day, Nov. 26, by the South Bruce OPP after having found his 2001 Chevrolet Silverado pickup damaged and stuck in a field off Zion Road in Huron County. The OPP then tried to con- tact the man at his home, but was unsuccessful. A search of the area was conducted by South Bruce OPP with assistance from the West Region OPP Emergency Response Team (ERT). His body was found by ERT members at approxi- mately 4 p.m. in a field near where his car was discovered the day before. Following a short inves- tigation with the assis- tance of the Coroner's Office, Webb's death was deemed to be "an isolated incident." "There is no threat to public safety," the press release read, and that foul play is not suspected. A previous press release from Nov. 27 stated Webb suffered from medical issues including a bad back. Submitted Keith Webb's body was found Nov. 27, 2015 after he was missing since Nov. 25. Police went to his home in Lucknow and where unable to find him there prior to the search.

Lucknow Carolfest tonight at Christian Reformed Church By Ruth Dobrensky Here we are another week closer to Christmas, and everyone's calendar is full of events and parties to attend. Tonight is Car- olfest at Lucknow Chris- tian Reformed Church at 7:45 p.m. Be there early if you want a parking space. Last night the Lucknow Rumoli Club met for their monthly meeting. In December, we have a spe- cial Christmas meeting with an exchange of gifts along with the playing of Rumoli and the usual camaraderie. Our Santa Claus parade, a big highlight of the year in town, was held last Fri- day night. As usual the floats were all great and the presence of that spe- cial guy Santa Claus was of course the icing on the cake. Santa and Mrs. Claus were also giving out treats at the Sports Complex after the parade and many children lined up to have their pictures taken with them. This past Sunday night, Ripley held their annual "Parade of Lights" fol- lowed by a free skate with Santa at the arena. I would like to ask every- one to say a little prayer for my cousin Bob Dobrensky's granddaughter Kyra who is 10 years old and has had two strokes leaving her in a paralytic state. Our entire family is reeling from the shock that this bright, happy little girl will be like this for the rest of her life, so all prayers will be gratefully appreciated.
