(Janice Becker photo) Sinkhole Study Request for Information The Ausable Hayfield Conservation Authority in cooperation with West Perth, Huron East and the Ministry of the Environment, is conducting a study to update information on the location of sinkholes in the area. This study will help us better understand the susceptibility of sinkholes to contamination from municipal drains and surface water runoff. Sinkholes are funnel shaped depressions in the land surface that may provide a direct pathway from channeling water into underlying bedrock aquifers. Most sinkholes in this area are less than 15 ft. in diameter. Some sinkholes have open bottoms that are capable of channeling a substantial flow of water. Others may have closed bottoms that restrict water flow and create small ponds. At this time, we are asking the public for their assistance. Specifically, we are trying to determine the location of any known or potential sinkholes within the municipalities of Huron East or West Perth The type of information we are looking for includes: • Lot number • Approximate location of sinkhole on lot • Concession • Property owner's names and contact • Ward information • Municipality If you have any information on sinkhole locations or wig' further information about this study, please contact Peter MacDonald at the ABCA office - 519-235-2610, E-mail: pmacdonald@abca.on.ca FROM AUBURN Club meets The Walkerburn Club was invited to Pat Hunking's new home near Belgrave for dinner on Monday, Oct. 28. Pat used to live on the 13th of Hullett coming here as a bride years ago. Her son Robert and family live there now. After dinner Vera Penfound and Ethel ball conducted the business meeting. Minutes of the last meeting were read and Bernice Norman gave the treasurer's report. It was decided that the November and December meetings would be combined this year. Instead of individual gifts for nursing homes members will present a good-sized box of fruit, etc. for the wards, and visit them that day. Here I am home again after a wonderful visit with my sister, Lois Templar, in Fort Collins, Colorado. Fortunately, my daughter Nancy Denys went with me — if she had not I would probably have been still wandering around in Detroit airport. Travelling has changed through the years. Anyway, Lois is 16 years older than I am and and can walk circles around me. She has had a busy life having been a registered nurse who worked except when her son and daughter were small children, up until retirement age. If anything happens in their community the child is brought to her to see if a doctor is needed, she she is still on duty. Climate in Colorado is similar to here except for humidity. Daytime temperature is similar to ours. My nephew Charles took us for a tour of Mt. Collins — it does not resemble our Rockies, more like rising hills and valleys. We did see a herd of elk though. They were used to people and just kept on grazing as people watched them on the other side of a high fence. Quite interesting to us! It is good to be home again and back into the swing of things. Witches, clowns and ghosts were out on Halloween. I welcomed all these visitors with open arms — however my little dog looked rather ferocious with his fur standing up on his back. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2002. PAGE 11. UCW enjoys special dinner A special anniversary dinner was held at Auburn United Church for the UCW. This was to celebrate the joining of two church groups to become the United Church Women. A meal and anniversary cake were served. The latter was made and donated by Ila Cunningham. A short service followed the meal with various articles being read from the minute books — they brought back memories. It was nice that former members who do not live in the district were in attendance.
