It was` turned down because it ranked
low inprovincial priorities relative to
other proposed erosion control projects,
Natural Resources Minister Vince Kerrio
said in a letter to Huron -Middlesex MPP
Jack Riddell..
"I have reviewed the technical details
concerning. this project and I have found
that while the stated rationale emphasizes
the need to protect lives and property, the
scale and design of the project seems to
stress the benefits of creating a land base
for recreational use," said Kerrio in his
letter.
He also said the proposed solution to the
erosion does not solve the whole problem.
New information received by the Con-
servation Authority which was not includ-
ed in the project file, should be included in
a revised submission of the project, Ian
Des Lauriers, of the Authority told council.
"With the original we were at a disad-
vantage in terms of determining the exact
quahtity of armour stone we needed," he
said.
Now that federal government agencies
have awarded two contracts for sand
dredging and rock blasting which include a
provision for land dumping on the site of
the proposed groyne, the new submission
will drop the request for $800,000 for ar-
mour stone, he added. The two contracts
were awarded as part of the Goderich har-
bour development project.
The total for the revised project will be
$100,000, 85 per cent of which will be re-
quested from the provincial government.
Goderich council agreed to the bluffs
erosion control project with a cost to the
town of $15,000.
If the Ministry of Natural Resources approves a revised erosion control
project, a groyne will be constructed near the southern most limit of Goderich.

On Wednesday, Nov. 13 at noon, the
parks and waterfront committee will meet
with the seven land owners who will be
directly affected by the project to set up
agreements before land filling is corn-
menced.

Tainted liquor list available at LCBO
provincial officials knew in 1980 that pro-
ducts sold by the LCBO contained the
dangerous chemical but failed to tell the
public and did not pull the brands off the
shelves.
The minister said LCBO officials went to
the government in 1980 and said ethyl car-
bamate should be banned.
The province did ban the substance,
which has caused lung cancer in
laboratory animals and is believed to be a
health hazard to humans, but did not tell
Ontarians. And the affected brands were
not withdrawn from the shelves.
Kwinter said in 1982 LCBO officials went
back to the government to warn that ethyl
carbamate was still in LCBO products, but
again no action was taken.
Kwinter told a news conference he had
no explanation why the public was not in-
formed. He announced a judicial inquiry of
the affair, saying he expected a judge to be
selected quickly to head the inquiry and
the Canadian Centre of Toxicology also
will report to the probe. Tests are being
conducted on high priority products which
may contain ethyl carbamate, a byproduct
of urea, a substance used in the fermenting
process to boost yeast effectiveness.
Kwinter added he was not confident
other products sold by the LCBO are free
of the chemical but tests should reveal any
others. The products should not be con -
A list of products containing a dangerous
chemical substance sold by the Liquor
Control Board of Ontario will be available
from the Goderich liquor store later this
week, according to Chris Layton,
spokesman for the ',CBO in Toronto.
Bob Bouck, manager of the Goderich li-
quor store said about 35 bottles h:ive been
withdrawn from the shelves of tht 1,CBO
outlet in Goderich.
Consumers who are concerned they may
have some of the affected brands in their
home liquor cabinets, will be able to check
a list of the brands to be posted in the li-
quor stores across the province.
An updated list obtained from Layton,
Tuesday includes Jordan Sippin Sherry,
Jordan Patina Sherry, Jordan Branvin
Port, Jordan Milano Vermouth, Jordan
Royal Crest, Jordan Classic Cream.
Bright's Napolean Port, all produced in
Ontario. and imported brands including
Jelineck Slivovice, Barack Palinka and
Navip Slivovitz. Rieder Kirsch and Rieder
Kirsch Wasser Still Master's Reserved
Cherry were added to the list Friday and
Sunday respectively.
Consumer Minister Monte Kwinter an-
iounced last week 322,176 bottles of 10
brands of ports, sherries and fruit bran-
dies containing ethyl carbamate have been
taken off the market. Kwinter also said
Leona Armstrong could be
Huron's first lady warden
Leona Armstrong may be about to break
a 140 year tradition. She is the only
member of Huron County Council to
declare an interest in becoming warden of
the county for 1986.
Unless someone declares their intention
at a special meeting of county council on
November 28, Armstrong, who has already
been acclaimed reeve of Grey Township
for another three year term. will be the
first woman to be warden of Huron County
warden. The new warden will be named
December 10 at tiic tiwun C.,uwity Court
House.
While reeve Armstrong will break a
county practice if she is named warden,
she will be continuing a family tradition.
Reeve Armstrong is the daughter of
former warden Harvey Johnston who serv-
ed in 1952. He represented Morris
Township on county council.
Reeve Armstrong isn't anticipating ac-
clamation. She expects someone could still
come forward and announce their can-
didacy.
County council doesn't want
beer and wine in grocery stores
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
Huron County council is supporting a
resolution from the Huron County Board of
Health which urges the provincial govern-
ment to forego the sale of beer and wine in
grocery and convenience stores.
Several councillors didn't agree with the
resolution presented at the November ses-
sion of council, but Hay Reeve Lionel Wilder
was the most vocal. He said education is the
key to cutting down the number of alcoholics
and drunk drivers.
"But if a man wants it, he'll get it no mat-
ter where it's sold," said the reeve.
Paula Pranovi, a counsellor with the
alcohol educational and counselling pro-
gram in Goderich said education on alcohol
has existed for some time. She added
alcohol is a drug with health related risks.
The counsellor said studies in Finland,
where alcohol is more readily accessible,
show there are increased health risks.
d.
Cheryl Stafford of Wroxeter, the page girl
for the November session of council and
daughter of Howick Township Reeve Jack
Stafford, said alcohol should not be sold in
grocery or convenience stores.
The Grade 13 student was on a year's ex-
change in Switzerland where she was im-
mersed in the Swiss culture. There is no
drinking age in that country, but she said
the young people have a different attitude
towards drinking.
In that European country, students go to
school six days a week and there is no time
for drinking, she said.
Brian McBurney, acting chairman of the
board of health said the resolution passed at
the board level because of the health risks.
"It ( the decision ) was based on the health
aspect," agreed Warden Paul Steckle.
The chairman of the board of health, Mor-
ris Township Reeve Bill Elston, was absent
from the county council session.
sumed, Kwinter said, and they should be
returned to LCBO outlets for a refund.
Kwinter said he dY es,pptXgno wether a
ban on the urea east. "ever er" 'has
been violated in the past five years.
"I want to know who knew about this,
when they knew about it and why no action
was taken." the minister said.
LCBO spokesman Chris Layton told the
Signal -Star Tuesday, someone would have
to consume quite a large amount of the
products to suffer any ill effects. The side
effects of drinking such large amounts of
alcohol would probably cause more con-
siderable damage than the chemical, he
added.
The current problem is unrelated to ac-
tion taken last week by Kwinter to pull four
wines off the shelves because of the
presence of diethylene glycol ( used in anti-
freeze), which was deliberately used to
sweeten the wines.
