South Huron Seniors Trade Fair popularity grows
By Pat Bolen
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
EXETER — The South Huron Seniors Trade Fair con-
tinues to grow in popularity and size.
There was an increase in the number of exhibitors
and attendandees to the trade fair which took place at
the South Huron Rec Centre June 2.
Organizer Jim Bearss said there were around 65
exhibitors compared to about 50 last year with over
400 in attendance, also up from last year.
The show brings exhibitors from a wide area, includ-
ing London, Seaforth and South Huron.
Bearss said with the Rec Centre being full this year,
the only way the show would be able to have more
booths next year would be for exhibitors to have small-
er displays.
"There was a nice share of the exhibitors donated
door prizes, and that always goes over well," said
Bearss.
"The entertainment was good, and next year there
will be sound on the arena floor as well as the Rec
side, which was one of the things we found out."
Esther Martineau and Anne Dougan represented the
Exeter Elderberries chapter of the Red Hat Society
June 2 at the South Huron Seniors Trade Fair.

TOWNSHIP OF LUCAN-BIDDULPH
NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING
ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT
General Amendment to By-law 100-2003
DATE/TIME: 7:00 p.m. Monday, July 5, 2004
LOCATION: Granton Fire Hall
— 511 Station Street, Granton, Ontario
PURPOSE: To consider a proposed Amendment to
the Township of Lucan Biddulph Zoning By-law
The proposed amendment would incorporate standards with
respect to the location, height and characteristics of wind
generation systems on private properties. Consideration will be
given to limiting, in all zones, the number of wind towers to one
per lot and subject to the requirements for accessory buildings
and structures. In built-up residential areas, further restrictions
on the location (limit to a rear yard and interior side yard),
maximum height (20 m or 66 ft) and maximum generating
capacity (5 kilowatts) of wind generation systems may be
considered. The recently adopted Interim Control By-law, which
prohibits new wind generation systems from being erected in the
Township until the potential impacts are evaluated and
appropriate regulations are brought into effect, would be
repealed with the coming into effect of the proposed regulations.
The amendment will also address matters of a general or
'house -keeping' nature. Since adoption of the Zoning By-law on
7 October 2003, a few matters have been identified in the course
of the day to day administration of the By-law which require
attention. These range from matters of interpretation and admin-
istration, definitions, general provisions and mapping inconsis-
tencies. The changes being proposed would correct deficiencies
and provide greater clarification.
There is an Official Plan in effect in the Township of Lucan
Biddulph. The proposed general amendment is considered to be
in conformity with the Plan.
INSOFAR AS the proposed amendment would apply to all lands in the
Township, a key map is not attached. ANY PERSON may attend the
public meeting and/or make a written or verbal representation either in
support of, or in opposition to, the proposed amendment. IF A PERSON
OR PUBLIC BODY that files an appeal of a decision of the Council of the
Corporation of the Township of Lucan-Biddulph in respect of the pro-
posed zoning by-law does not make oral submissions at a public meeting
or make written submissions to the Council of the Corporation of the
Township of Lucan-Biddulph before the proposed zoning by-law is
adopted, the Ontario Municipal Board may dismiss all or part of the
appeal. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION relating to the
proposed amendment is available from Ron Reymer at the Municipal
Office or from the Township Planner, Mr. Ted Halwa, at (519) 963-1028
(London, Ontario).

Other feedback Bearss received indicated people
enjoy the show for a variety of reasons including meet-
ing new people and making contact with different
agencies.
"I think it was very well received. I've been to farm
shows where people just walk and they don't seem to
talk to anyone, but at this one they're all laughing and
carrying on."
