Grey says HU or CA should
do plumbing inspections
By Janice Becker
Citizen staff
There is a general consensus
among municipalities that they do
not want to be responsible for
plumbing and septic inspections.
That was the impression given by
Grey Twp. Reeve Robin Dunbar as
he told his council, at the March 2
session, of a meeting held in Clin-
ton last week to discuss the matter.
The meeting, which, Dunbar
said, was very well attended, fea-
tured presentations from the county
and several surrounding conserva-
tion authorities.
The county currently has people
trained to do plumbing and septic

THE EDITOR,
The Village of Lucknow, known
as the Sepoy Town in Ontario, will
celebrate its 140th birthday this
year with a reunion July 2 to 5.
A wide variety of events are
planned to make it a fun-filled time
for former and present residents
and new friends.
The opening ceremonies will
kick off the big birthday bash on
July 2 which will include Miss
Lucknow being crowned, former
Miss Lucknows, a talent show and
the judging of the Donald Dinnie
look-a-like contest. Who's Donald
Dinnie? Well, he's the bloke who
was one of the headliners brought
in by the Caledonian Society for
the Scottish Games that were
staged in Lucknow for 20 years
back in the late 1800s. Dinnie was
the champion athlete of Scotland
and to this day his likeness
continues to be associated in some
manner or other with Lucknow.
There will be events for the
young and not so young, including
dances, a pig roast, classic car
show, seniors tea and card party, a
family ball tournament, and church
services, plus much, much more.
You're all invited home! For
more information write to Box 534,
Lucknow, NOG 2H0.
Yours very truly,
Lynn Johnston and Paul Zinn,
Chairpersons,
Make it Great in '98.
THE EDITOR,
I am an author commissioned to
write an anthology of paranormal
events which have been
experienced in Ontario over the
years. If you have ever seen a ghost
or if, perhaps, you live in a house
that's haunted by an invisible
presence then I'd love to hear from
you.
But let's not stop there; if you
have ever seen a UFO or perhaps
heard the howl of a Sasquatch or
ever encountered an angel, then I'm
just as interested in getting your
story for my book.
If you wish to remain anonymous
I can arrange for that but either way
I'd very much like to hear from
you. You can write to me at Box
68099, 162 Bonnie Doon Mall,
Edmonton, Alberta, T6C 4N6, fax
me at 1-403-465-5280 or e-mail me
at ghost@planeteon.net.
Whatever method you choose I
look forward to reading your
supernatural, Ontario tale.
Thanks a lot.

inspections and the conservation
authorities feel they have the exper-
tise, through their handling of envi-
ronmental issues, to take on the
duty, he said.
The conservation authorities are
also looking for ways to earn
income with the reductions in gov-
ernment financing.
Councillor Lyle Martin believed
the "Maitland Valley Conservation
Authority seemed not as keen or
comfortable" to undertake the
inspections, while the Ausable
Bayfield Conservation Authority
was more aggressive regarding the
matter.
Councillor Graeme MacDonald
questioned training township build-
ing inspectors when the county
already has trained people.

Trustee Anderson added.

said trustees must soon make a

Principals must know now how
many students they will have so
they can plan for September.

However, Seili warned that
continued repairing of old
equipment is just throwing money
away. "It is just like the condenser.
You keep putting money in and
you have to replace it anyway."
Wilson said he would like to
discuss it with the other councils.
While Grey had submitted their
agreed they did not want to get
involved in the process.
Clerk-Treasurer Brad Knight also
wondered about building inspec-
tors' ability to maintain their exper-
tise when they might do only three
or four inspections per year.
Though giving the job to another
agency seemed a popular choice,
Dunbar said all municipalities
would have to agree on who would
do the inspections.
It would not be cost efficient for
the county to do some and conser-
vation authorities to do others, he
said, adding, there must also be the
same rules for all, he said.
In discussing building inspec-
tions and permits, Dunbar said a
system should be developed so it is
"one-stop shopping" for contractors
where they can pick up and drop
off all required forms at municipal
offices.

According to the work group's

recommendations for the budget,
Morris had not had its meeting to
discuss it.
Seili made a recommendation
that a meeting be set with full
councils, which would include rec
board chair Alvin McLellan; Grey's
deputy-reeve, so they could "look
at this together."
"If it's going to be full-council
deciding then it better be full
council discussing," he said.
