OPP say no traffic problems in Lucan LUCAN - Sgt. Bob Erskine, head of the Lucan detachment of the On- tario Provincial Police detachment told council at the July 5 meeting, "I don't think there is a traffic or speeding problem in the village." Erskine had been asked by coun- cil to check for speeders on Nico- line, Market and Main streets after receiving numerous complaints. With the complaints came suggestions of traffic lights at the in- tersection of Main street and Concession 4 and four-way stops on other streets. In reply to the speed- ing question, Erskine replied, " We have had radar on these streets for two full days and did not find one vehicle going over the speed limit." Erskine continued, " We have had the same complaints, especially about big trucks in Ailsa Craig and there again did not find any speced- ers. Larger vehicles seem to create the image that they are going faster than they actually are." Councillor Rosemary Gahlinger- Beaune suggested there was a problem with speeders on Nicotine during the evening hours. To this Erskine said,"We have two officers living on this street and they do not perceive a problem." On the subject of traffic lights and four-way stops, Ers- kine said, " These moves would create more problems than what you would solve. It's better to let traffic flow than to stop it." In conclusion, Erskine agreed to have his officers set up radar equip- ment on Market street during the evening hours in the near future and added, "We have three vehi- cles with radar equipment in con- tinuous operation on area roads every day." "I don't think there is a traffic or speeding prob- lem in the vil- lage." Popularity of Kirkton's Klassic Kruise soaring Despite rainy weather, turnout was better than expected Brenda Burke T -A staff KIRKTON - A basic black 1926 Model T Touring...the fully dec- i orated interior of a 1960 Chevrolet Impala...a pale yellow 1956 Ford Fairlane...a fiery red 1937 Chevro- let Coach bearing the license plate 'Hot Saw.' Classic cars such as these, plus an a capella band, munchies, door priz- es, raffle tickets and fundraisers were the ingredients of Kirkton's Klassic Kruise Thursday night un- der a breezy, balmy sky. Between 1500 and 2000 car en- thusiasts appeared at the event that displayed close to 240 classic cars. "Considering the (rainy) weather all around us, we would've had an even bigger turn -out," said organiz- er Ray Venturin. The seeds of Kirkton's Klassic Kruise were sown six years ago by Venturin and Kirk Blackler, both of Kirkton, and Paul and Sheila McNaughton of St. Marys. "We expected 20 cars the first year and we got 70," said Blackler, adding the number of cars being registered for the event grows sub- stantially each year. A classic car is defined as being 20 years or older while newer cars on display belong to a rare class. "(The cars) have to have some special notoriety of sorts," said Blackler. Most car owners arrived from within a 50 -mile radius to display their gems. Dave Favalaro, of London, brought his 1926 Model T Touring to the show. This black, low -rider beauty, which cost Favalaro $33,000 to build over the span of five years, is due for its next paint job this fall. Favalaro put 2,000 miles on the car in one and a half weeks just touring to different car shows in Strathroy, Woodstock and London. airiada ' Day Draw Winner J Triangle Discount manager Pat Crawford presents a beautiful red wagon to Peter Sutherland of Woodham who won the wagon in the store's Canada Day draw.
