has •been relatively poor. We've had no.
response solicited by letter or phone call.
We've sent it (the questionnaire) to the
municipalities and to government agencies
and to others who have shown an interest
in the project. We've received replies from
these, but we've had no response from the
general public," said Burns of B.M. Ross
and Associates engidbering firm of Goder-
ich.
Murray Elston, MPP for Huron -Bruce
and newly 4pppinted Health Minister in
the David Peterson government, said he is
looking forward to getting his ministry into
high gear in the/next few weeks.
"I think it has been going pretty well,"
said Elston of his first week in office. "I've
had some indepth meetings on a number of
matters. It's a learning experience but I
feel we're going in the proper direction."
For all who attended, Dr. Corrin night
was a smashing success.
It was a chance for Lucknow and area
residents to pay tribute to Dr. Mel Corrin,
a trusted family physician in Lucknow for
the past 37 years, and who was the recent
recipient of the Glenn Sawyer Award for
Doctor of the Year.
The evening started off with a dinner for
the Corrin family in the legion, followed by
a parade with the Lucknow School ,Band
leading the way for Dr. and Mrs. Corrin,
who waved to well wishers from acar
driven by Lucknow, Fair Queen Lindell
Cross.
Ontario Hydro announced July 15 that it
has chosen M7, a plan that will bring a
500,000 volt transmission line through
Huron County, as the system to be recom-
mended to the government -appointed joint
consolidated hearings board.
The decision was made by Ontario
Hydro's board on July 8, but the an-
nouncement was delayed until the provin-
cial government had a look at the recom-
mendation. Now, the provincial utility has
to prepare an environmental assessment to
be presented to the government* Aug. 1..
August
A Wingham man was charged with
criminal negligence causing death, crimin-
al negligence causing injuries, failing to
stop for police and driving while under
suspension following an accident in which
a Kincardine detachment Ontario Provin-
cial Police officer and two teenagers were
killed.
Kevin Koehler, 20, of Wingham was
charged August 8 after a high speed chase
ended with a vehicle broadsiding the
cruiser in which Constable Donald Camp-
bell, 24, and driver William O'Sullivan
were making a U-turn on Highway 9 east of
Kinloss.

The village of Lucknow had adopted its
1985 budget and mill rates for village
purposes have remained the same as those
for 1984, at 14.952 for residential and
17.590 for commercial. The only increases
in this year's budget have been the result
of Bruce County and board of education
demands. Even those demands have
boosted the mill rate only an average of 3.2
per cent for public school taxpayers and 2.4
per cent for separate school supporters.
• September
Lucknow council has decided to accept a
cheque forwarded by Michael Daugherty of
Colorado for some items removed from a
property the village recently bought, even
though the cheque is made out for less than
council asked.
Council had purchased the old water-
works building east of the village from
Daughtery to facilitate renovations on the
nearby bridge. A price of $8,500 was
negotiated but according to council, a
sliding glass door and some windows
valued at approximately $500 were remov-,
ed from the site after the transaction was
completed.
Many motorists in Huron County must
have been wondering about the curious
signs adorning the roadsides during the
final days of August.
The 25 signes stating "Ontario Hydro
staked this power route before public
hearings?1" were placed on county and
paved roads from London to Ripley on
August _30 and remained up through the
Labour Day weekend. It's part of a
publicity campaign by the Foodland Hydro
committee, a group opposing a hydro
power corridor through Huron County
fartnland, to draw attention to hydro's •
survey work in the area.
Councillor Herb Clark suggested a water
rate increase for non-residents at the Sept.
10 council meeting and the result was a
iletter of warning to OorPresideOts-thet the
yeO•old agreement to supply, water to
non-residents on County Road 1 south of
Lucknow has almost been completed.
• Fourteen residences would be affected
by the village's decisiodnot to replace the
old one and a quarter inch pipe. Council
felt the warning letter at this time would
give the residents a chance to angle for a
main from the townships of West Wawa -
nosh or Ashfield or drill wells if a main
wasn't to be built. ,
The four municipalities that co-operate
to run the Lucknow arena had their
suspicions confirmed during a meeting
with representatives from the Community
Renewal Branch of the Ministry of Munic-
ipal Affairs and Housing.
It was realized that grants would have to

George Joynt is calling it quits. He
informed Clerk -treasurer Bertha Whitcroft
of, his decision' not to offer himself as a
candidate in a short note Sept. 30.
"After 28 years, I thought it was time to
get out," said the reeve. didn't reveal
what he would do after so long a time as
reeve, limiting himself to the statement,
"I'm involved in a lot of things."
• Joynt was reeve for 28 years with only
one break after which,' in 1959, he assumed
the duties of warden of Bruce County.
The proposed sewage system was the
primary topic of discussion at a poorly
attended ratepayers' meeting Sept. 27, and
