Lucknow Village Council discussed a letter
received from George Newbold, adminis-
trator of Pinecrest Manor, at their regular
meeting, November 13. Mr. Newbold wrote
complaining about the scrap iron and old
cars located in a field across the corner from
the nursing home. The property is owned by
Bill Lyons and the scrap iron and cars have
been placed there by his son, Jim, who sells
it in the spring. „
Mr. Newbold pointed out in his letter, that
the area was not zoned for waste disposal
and asked council to do something to have
• the scrap iron removed. Council sent the
letter to the village's solicitor, George
•Brophy who is looking into the matter.
Councillor Russel Whitby said he was
approached by 'Bill Lyons concerning the
issue and Mr. Whitby invited him to attend
the November meeting of council. However,
Mr. Lyons did not attend.
• Cliff Crawford, town foreman, attended
the meeting to ask council to consider the
purchase of newstreet lighteWhich he could
buy from Wingham PUC at a reasonable
rate. He informed council the shades of the
light standards along the main street can not
be replaced if broken, because that type of
shade is no longer made. He suggested the
purchase of new lights now at a reasonable
rate would allow council to replace the main
street . standards when necessary. Council
• decided to look ,into the: matter by getting
prices to compare with the Wingham offer.
, The recent census in .the village counted
1,098.people living in Lucknow. Over 30 per
cent of Lucknow's population is: ovei•the age
of 65.
Councillor Whitby asked councils if .speed

strictly cointrolled. He commented that cars

home and he believes they do not even
bother to stop at the Havelock stop -sign. He
• is concerned that, with the number of elderly
people living in his neighbourhood, a

ed, to proceed, Peter Han-
nam ;President, Ontario Fed-
eration of Agriculture (OFA),
said today.
The 500 acre site is located
near Hamilton and 'will be
used as a dump for the city's
garbage.
The Environsnenlal Asses-
sment Board, ina report
made public October 26th,
recommended the dump go
ahead, in spite of the objec-
tions of local people.
• Hannam said area resid-
ents have •real grounds for;
concern. Leachates. which
may be tcixie, will seep into
the water table contaminat;
ing wells. The pollution will
not be confined to the im-
Mediate area as the dump is
located on the headwaters of
the, Welland River.
Hannam was very critical
of the Environmental Assess-
ment Board. He said their
investigation could best be
described as shallow. •
"Some of the information
submitted by the Region of
HatnilOn-WentwOrth did not
exist at • the time of the
hearings. Some of the eqoip-
ment they 'used was itieap-
able of providing the test
•°results they reported.- Han-
nam said no sound judge-
ment could ever bemade on
such questionable evidence.

Hannam said the Glan-
brook decision should be •a
warning to all rural resid-
ents. The concerns of the
local people were completely
ignored. OPA's technical
submission was not even ad-
dressed by the Board. He
said that, without major
changes in evaluating dump
sites, other rural commun-
ities could expect similar
treatment.
Hannam said there are two
ways to solve the garbage'
• issue..The first is to reduce it
at its source, and the second
is to turn it into a resource by
• recycling, Composting, or
heat recovery. The answer is
not to dump it in4their rural
neiehbour's bac4ards. •
