AL'S MARKET HENSALL — ONTARIO Ili PE IR MARKETS nrn ilinimanarfTri 11 News of Huronview Planner Roman Dzus called it "the critical question that will determine annexation" and 19 ratepayers discussed it, trying to give Hensall council some in- dication of how they would like to see industrial growth handled at t he second in a series of planning workshops held April 27 at Hensall Public School. Dzus, who claimed "unless you attract industry in Hensall it is not likely you will see any sub- stantial growth in the future," said the purpose of the meeting was to determine the concepts and principles that would allow new industry to build in Hensall. The question of industrial growth went hand in hand with the topic of the first workshop on annexation. The village will have to annex land if it wants a new industry, whether for an in- dustrial basin or for residential area for the workers to live in. Councillor Harold Knight, who chaired the meeting, told the group that 40 percent of the workers who take full time employment in Hensall live within Hensall. Most of the remaining 60 percent live on farms outside the village. He felt that young people, "newly married" were Hensall's most lucrative market to tap for workers and residents. One of the critical questions discussed was the zoning of in- dustry. At present. Hensall's six major industries are located in a piece-meal fashion throught the village amongst residential areas. A rough consensus of opinion showed that the industry should be zoned in one area; with one suggestion being to designate the rectangular area bounded by Highway 4 on the east, Richmond St. to the south, Wellington St to the west and the town limits to the north as industrial land. The Bendix plant is currently situated within this rectangle, surrounded by residential development. Zoning this industrial would reduce "the competition between the two land uses" said Dzus. "It is something the plan can resolve." If Hensall decides to im- plement a plan of controlled growth, as was suggested by many of the ratepayers and Knight, residents who enjoy one of the lowest tax baseSin!the area will have to settle for higher property taxes in order to service an industrial basin. Presently, residential assessment accounts for 40 percent of the taxes collected in Hensall, but the village would have to service any basin. These costs would be borne, initially, by the general ratepayer. The advantages of attracting new industry could offset the higher tax burden, particularly if it is more varied industry so the village is not relying on a single type of industry. Reeve John Baker, usually outspoken on such matters, had little to say during the meeting until the end when he chastised the ratepayers who hadn't bothered to come to the meeting, "They'lfbe the first to complain," he said of the absent residents, adding that "if we don't get the participation we need, eoutleil will sit down and do it (the plan) on our own." Baker pointed out that the day planning information kits were released to the public, through the post office, he had gone there at noon and found 42 of them discarded. The consensus of opinion was that the people either didn't understand the importance of planning or weren't interested in the future shape of the village. Various schemes were discussed for inciting interest, Dear Editor: Last week the first meeting of the Hensall planning, workshop met together with the public. The public consisted of 4 women and 40 men. I was very disappointed to see so few in attendance. Some one humourously pointed out that the conflict between the hockey game and the meeting was poor planning. There will always be hockey playoffs but will we be offered many more opportunities to look forward and plan for our Hold farm church service Agriculture Sunday is something new in church wor- ship, but that is exactly what the service was called in Hensall United Church on Sunday. Mr. Dave Brock, a local far- mer, who has recently attended a conference in London on the World Food crisis, spoke on that topic during sermon time. Leading up to his talk were Bible readings and prayers and hymns on the agricultural topic. The serivce was in the charge of Rev. Don Beck assisted at the organ by Mrs. John Turkheim. The choir sang the anthem, "I have decided to follow Jesus." During the service, Shane Roy, son of Mr. & Mrs. Albert Pepper, was presented for Baptism. from mailing out an agenda to asking Clarence Campbell to reschedule playoff hockey games. In the end, however, it was felt the only way to do it was to continue with the workshops, the third one to he held May 4 at 8:00 p.m., and wait for the complaints and changes to come in when the plan is completed. "All we need is headline like `Hensall annexes 200 acres of Hay Township' said the Reeve, "that will wake them up." villages growth and develop- ment? It should be of interest to note that almost all of the men present at the meeting were business men or land investment owners. IF Hensall's secondary plan will be determined by those attending the workshops then the residential sector had better be prepared for a plan proposed by organized and supported by the commercial and industrial men of the community. Why were there so few women present at the workshop? Wives and mothers Should be equally concerned about Hensall's future. We are in all likelihood going to see our public school close because of a declining school aged population.If Hensall doesn't grow how can our tax dollars support such services as parks, playgrounds, pools and arenas? If you do not participate in these workshops now, very few of you will have any right to criticize and complain about the secondary plan set out for Hensall's growth in the future. So many decisions are in the hands of Toronto and Goderich already. Over 850 people work here but those who live in Hensall are just as important. You should be aware of what changes may take place in this small rural com- munity. Don't allow these decisions to be left up to one segment of the village.
