There are grants available with applications on the CFGB website. There will be new capital funding as grants beginning June 2015. It has been noted that CFGB does not get a lot of funding requests from this area and believes it may be because there are no CFGB ambassadors for Huron - Kinloss. Brignell requested to set up an informational display at the Municipal office in the short term until an ambassador can be found. Community Foundations of Canada wants to have foundations in each com- munity by 2017. There are now 192 in Canada. CFGB has identified an issue in this area. Scholarship funds are needed to help not only students going on to higher education, but also those entering apprentice - hips and workplace learning. CFGB would like to part- ner with each community in Grey Bruce for Sesquicen- tennial Project. In the discussion that fol- lowed, Council was advised that there may be a way to help with funding pro- grams such as the one in Bervie for youth at risk to learn a trade. It would require a charity or non- profit group to create an offshoot program. CFGB would need to sit down with the people running the program to get more details. Council endorsed the Smart & Caring Community Fund for Education for stu- dents in Grey Bruce as a Sesquicentennial Project through CFGB. Saugeen Mobility and Regional Transit Roger Cook spoke of the current challenges facing the specialized public tran- sit partnership serving the mentally and physically challenged residents of Huron -Kinloss. He gave sta- tistics showing that rider- ship has been unsteady over time, but is showing signs of increase in 2014. Fuel fees are a big concern. There is a 75% cap for funding under MTO. Cook is looking for ways to remove that cap for those serving less ridership density areas in Ontario compared to urban trans- portation systems. He believes that if the munici- pal partners contribute a higher ratio that he can get more funding from the province. Cook went on to say that financial con- straints is a challenge to expand services to also serve those who are finan- cially challenged and even- tually working up to being open to all residents in Grey and Bruce Counties. Emerald Ash Borer Emerald Ash Borer has been confirmed in Ripley in 3 trees on private property. It is recommended that they be cut down before they are completely dead as it is less dangerous. There are also some infected trees at the lakeshore in the Point Clarke area. There are no trees that are identified as significant enough to save. SVCA needs to inventory the ash trees on municipal property. Identi- fying their location is most important to estimate the potential budget to deal with the problem. If residents are unsure if they have an ash tree or a problem with ash trees they should consult a pro. There is some information on the SVCA website to identify ash trees and signs of infection. Lighthouse Park Surfacing Council will make a reso- lution to replace the surface at the playground with another rubber surface. Replacement cost will be kept down by hiring excava- tion locally. Dog -Bite Victim Speaks to Council QM! Agency Huron -Kinloss council will take a look at dog control rules and how they are being enforced in the municipality after hearing from a dog -bite victim on June 16. A 72 -year-old Ripley woman and her family told council about the incident. Council heard the woman was walking her bichon frise in Ripley on June 2 when she encountered two german shepherds, which were joined by two other dogs. She was able to pick up her dog, but one of the German shepherds bit her on the arm and caused her to fall to the sidewalk and hurt herself. The owner of the larger dog was able to stop the incident before the remain- ing dogs could attack the small dog, which the woman had dropped. The bite was reported to the Grey Bruce Health Unit by the woman's family, who were told the dog would be quarantined for 10 days. But council was told the dog was back in Ripley, not under quarantine and allowed to be loose, within three days. The woman's family is concerned that the dogs are 37777 Amberley Rd., Lucknow www.morrisonberries.com two doors from the victim's home and near a daycare centre. The owners of the German shepherd were at the council meeting, but were not allowed to speak. Some members of council called for the dog to be put down.
