Hearn who passed away a few weeks ago was reeve of Lucan for a total of 21 years and represented the village on the county of Mid- dlesex council for that length of time. After receiving a report recently on the Middlesex Wali of Fame from administrator Nigel Rellcham- ber, council decided to discontinue the program. but will place the scrolls and photographs of Bill Stewart and Keith Riddell to state that they were indeed agricultural builders of the highest order. In the future, the outgoing war- den will each December select up to five candidates from names sub- mitted by local municipalities. The successful candidates each year will be added to a permanent plaque that would hang in the area adjacent to the aforementioned scrolls and photographs. At the same meeting, council re- ceived a request from the Ontario Municipal Recreation Association for nominees for their Volunteer Service Awards p A letter from OMRA asked that, "Your recreation committee and your reeeve take the time to nomi- nate one or two volunteers from your community for a 1993 award.

Three provincial ministers spoke at the convention in generally very vague terms and were a disappoint- ment to the delegates. According to McLaughlin the only speaker that had any relevance to Lucan was Gary Davidson of Huron who talked about new initia- tives in municipal economic devel- G cou h -fir little Kids/ opment. Davidson indicated the county must play a lead role in eco- nomic development and spoke about how Huron county with 26 municipalities has grouped into four development areas and this ap- pears to be working. Brady told about a trio of spokes- men on the Sewell report. Most of the commentary was very negative, perhaps even too negative. Howev- er, many good points were raised. All seemed concerned that that im- plementation of the Sewell report as presented would actually worsen the situation regarding planning in Ontario and make turnaround times even longer. On recycling, different views were offered on who should pay for recycling, ie., manufacturing, pro- vincial government or municipali- ties. Two speakers strongly con- demned user fees and tags for garbage, but one inunicipality spoke strongly in favour.
