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.

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 And the affected brands were not withdrawn from the shelves.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.
