Duane Porter spear- headed the event, approach- ing the Legion to be the host. Rick McMurray, with the Lucknow Kinsmen and the Music in the Fields commit- tee, secured the screen for the viewing and were a big help with organizing everything. Donations that evening were just shy of $4,500; the promoter for Music in the Fields, Dave Rapelje from TNR Productions (who brought in the screen), donated $500 and the Legion added $1,000. Geoff Van Geem, Man- ager of the Bluewater Com- munity office of the Cana- dian Cancer Society, informed us that Lucknow was the second largest fun- draiser in all of Canada that evening. The community should be recognized for supporting the event, as well as Mary's Restaurant and Village Pizzeria for the donations of food for the evening, and to Sepoy Wir- ing, Huron -Kinloss and Hurontel for all the help setting up. Once again, it is amazing what a small rural commu- nity can accomplish when we all pull together.

Parking Notice to All Resi- dents of the Township of Huron -Kinloss The Township of Huron -Kin- loss is looking for the coopera- tion of the ratepayers in regards to the parking of cars and other vehicles, and the depositing of snow on municipal roads when snow clearing is a necessity for municipal workers. Parking is not permitted on any street within the Township of Huron -Kinloss between the hours of 1-6 a.m., from Nov 1 to April 30, and violators may have their vehicles towed. According to the post, nei- ther the Township, nor the "Snow Plow Operators", will be held financially responsi- ble for any damages to a homeowner's property deemed to be on township road allowance when per- forming their daily mainte- nance operations. This includes, but is not limited to, damages involv- ing fences, mailboxes, blue boxes, entranceways, and entrance signage. Residents are also asked to ensure that recycling and garbage are placed in a location so as not to interfere with snow plow operations. The township also said there is no practical way to plow the roads without depositing snow into driveways. Chimney Fire Safety Tips The Winter season will shortly be upon us and so will the desire to keep warm by using your wood stove. Failing to maintain your woodstove or fireplace properly can lead to a chimney fire. Chimney fires occur when combustible deposits on the inner walls of the chimney ignite. These combustible deposits, called "creosote, are a natural by- product of wood burning. A fire hazard exists if 1/4 inch of creosote (or more) coats the inner walls of the chimney. Prevention: Chimney fires do not occur in clean, intact, properly installed chimneys. Have a professional chimney sweep clean and inspect your appliance at least once a year. More frequent cleanings may be required, based on the type of wood burned, the type of appliance, and the frequency of use. In general, an older, uncertified woodstove, or any appliance that is used fre- quently, will require more than one cleaning per year. Burn only well -seasoned fire- wood in your heating appli- ance and never burn papers or garbage. Burning paper can easily be lifted up the chimney by the natural draft and ignite the creosote. Also note that burning any material that cre- ates toxic smoke or obnoxious odours is a violation of the requirements of the Ministry of Environment, Environmen- tal Protection Act. Detection: The first indication of a chim- ney fire is usually the noise—a roaring sound that grows louder as the fire's intensity increases. Clouds of black smoke and sparks will be seen exiting the top of the chimney; in severe fires, flames can extend several feet above the chimney. Action: In case of a chim- ney fire, follow these steps: . Call the fire department immediately by dialing 911. . Alert others in the house to evacuate. • Evacuate the home and remain outside 1' H I. uchd* .*do IildfdLILl. IC MBE?
