Canada zOClla Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association letter to the editor Wingham resident looking for public support at consultation meeting Dear Editor, If you don't speak up for yourself, someone else will make the decisions for you. Next Thursday, Sept. 29, from 6-8 p.m., the Town of Wingham is going to have a 'public consultation' on the Environmental Assessment of the dam with the engineers making a special presentation at7p.m. This will be your ONE & ONLY chance to voice your opinion about the need to repair the dam. Initially, Sharon Chambers, CAO for Wingham, stated at the November 2015 council meeting `To repair the dam would cost $500,000, or to remove it (decommission it) the cost would be 1.1 million dollars. However, what was discussed at that council meeting and what is being proposed by the engineering consultants, is vastly different. We would like your attend- ance at this meeting to show your support for the repair of the dam.

We are so thankful for the good weather, good crowds and all round good time. Recognition to Brian Reid and his executive for planning such a great event and to all the volunteers who helped out in so many ways. We appreci- ate all your time and efforts. Congratulations to Roy Collins who celebrated his 80th birthday last week. Family and friends gathered at the Anglican Church in Kinlough on Sept. 18 to wish him well. Elizabeth Kelly of New Dundee visited with Mary Anne Kukoly recently and also other friends in the area. Mary Anne was pleased to attend the bridal shower for Sam MacKenzie on Sunday afternoon in Kincardine. She received many lovely gifts. Congratulations to all the folks with their Fall Fair displays. They were great. Appreciation also to the Horticultural Society folks for the lovely flowers in the Vil- lage. Sure love the flags painted on the barn roof on the twelfth. After the fair the John Farrell family gathered at Joyce and John's to wish their youngest grandson John Timothy Leis a happy first birthday. On Sunday Karen, Leonard and Marsha Far- rell were at Joyce and John's. It was good to see Julianne, Andrew and babe Geraink House up from London; and Ruthe and Hugh Duncan of Bloomingdale back for the fair. Helen Colwell of Red Deer Alberta visited with the Colwell cousins in the area and enjoyed the Fall Fair. Hope everyone that was able to attend the IPM at Harriston this week enjoyed themselves. Many from our area were able to attend. They were certainly blessed with good weather. Those who were able to see the Musical Ride enjoyed it. We understand that next year they will have an incredibly busy year as they will be going all across Canada for Canada's 150th, instead of just covering two provinces a year as they normally do. Family and friends celebrated with a gathering at Amanda and Joe Elliott's recently. Amanda and Joe were married earlier this year. Congratulations from all the Purple Grovers. Congratulations to the folks that worked on the glossy maga- zine The Back Forty, put out by the Township of Huron -Kinloss. Great to see some of our local folks featured. Ladies just a reminder that our WI meeting has been rescheduled to Tuesday October 4th in the afternoon. The topic `Aging Grace- fully' is affecting many of us. LUCKNOW NEWS Fall is finally upon us in the Lucknow area Ruth Dobrensky Fall is finally here and I laugh at my city friends and relatives who make comments like, what's it like to live in a place where nothing ever happens? There are so many things happening in our community that you very often have to flip a coin to decide which event you are going to take in. We have our fall fairs, local and not quite so local, as well as the agricultural fairs in the area. Then there are all the church dinners that seem to take place on a regular basis. If fairs and food aren't your cup of tea, there are plays in places like Blyth, and the local plays which will be playing at our local theatre in December along with all the community carolfests, etc. If anyone were to attempt to attend everything, you'd never be home. Happy 60th wedding anni- versary to Joyce and Keith Cranston who will be celebrat- ing this coming weekend with family and friends. Best wishes and happy birth- day to Jim Hackett who is cele- brating his 80th birthday. This past Sunday, the South Kinloss Presbyterian Church held their annual ham and scalloped potato supper for an appreciative crowd. Congratulations to the Dan- ceology dancers who will be heading off to Germany in Octo- ber to the World Dance Champi- onships. I can't dance worth beans, so its great to see so many of our youth doing so well. We wish them well and know that they will have a great time and come home crowned with glory. No matter what happens, the experience alone will be worth the time and effort these girls put into their dancing. For all you sports fans out there, as you may or may not no, I'm a big baseball fan, so I'm following the Jays closely and although I'm not a big hockey fan, I'm also watching the world hockey results and so far (at the time of writing) Can- ada is doing very well. By the way, although I myself do not like the hot, humid weather, we've had this sum- mer, I was speaking to my cousin Debbie from High River, Alberta last week, and she said they've had a lousy summer of cold and sometimes snowy weather and only got out camp- ing for two days this summer. Sympathies of the commu- nity to the family of Violet Cowan, 86, Clinton (formerly Auburn and Goderich.
