HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1979-06-20, Page 3More blessed to get than to donate gift Exeter council received a gift this week, but didn’t show the same generosity when it came time to be the donor rather than the Board again stops access The South Huron Hospital board has again turned down a request from Exeter council to provide a right-of- way through the parking lot at the dental clinic for use of the town police. The right-of-way was being requested to provide a second access to the police office. There has been some concern that the cruisers could easily be blocked in by vehicles with only one access onto Main St. at the present time. Mayor Derry Boyle said the hospital directors turned the request down due to the fact a right-of-way could prevent any further ex­ pansion to the facility. He said the board really couldn’t grant the right-of- way because the property is leased and “the dental people are not very happy with the thought” of a right- of-way. The police committee will be asked to seek alternative routes to provide a second access to their parking lot. recipient. The gift was$l,500 fromthe ministry of the environment for improving conditions at the local dump. During the discussion on that topic, Councillor Ted Wright said he was of the opinion that the provincial governments should operate all disposal sites, rather than leaving them under the responsibility of municipalities. Later in the meeting, council turned down a request from the Township of Field for a donation to their flood disaster fund. Councillor Harold Pat­ terson presented a motion ' calling for a $50 gift, but there was no seconder. Most members felt it contravened the current policy of not making grants to charities. To the People of Exeter: This letter is to inform you that I have resigned my duties as supervisor and organizor of the Exeter Swimming Pool Program as of Tuesday June 19. Initially, I was hired to organize, administrate, and supervise the pool program and operation. However, the Rec Administrator Mr. Ian Smith has provided little co­ operation and has found reason to question the justification of my position. I would like the residents of Exeter to know that the staff that remains at the pool is, in general, young and inexperienced. This is not to say that they are not capable of doing an excellent job if they are given the proper leadership and guidance. Surely, Mr. Smith has the foresight to recognize their potential and will treat them fairly. The pool is an area facility built for the use and pleasure of area residents. The staff is composed of area young people. I,hope Mr. Smith’s remarks ‘do not foreshadow actions which will jeopardize the potential for a quality staff and program like those to which Exeter has become accustomed. Yours sincerely, Debi Wooden Windows smashed One break and enter and two acts of wilful damage were reported to police over the weekend. A beer bottle was tossed through a plate glass win­ dow at Nutt’s General Store in Dashwood, while an ash tray smashed a large win­ dow at C.G. Farm Supply, south of Zurich. Damage in each incident was listed at around $300, and occurred late Saturday or early Sunday morning. Thieves made off with about $70 worth of cigarettes, gas and some cash after breaking into Rumball Motors in Dashwood over the weekend. Entry was made through a rear window.

J-A photo Huron bean acreage down by 40 percent Dissatisfaction over prices, weather conditions and marketing arrangements are turning more and more Huron Coun­ ty white bean growers to other Crops, a provincial crop specialist saia Monday. Mike Miller of the Ontario agriculture ministry said there is about a 40 per cent drop in acreage planted this year compared with 1978. Although exact figures are not yet available, a county­ wide survey undertaken by the ministry shows more and more white bean producers are replacing • their acreages with other crops, notably corn and soybeans, he said. About 54,000 acres in the county were planted in white beans during 1978, Miller said. The county is one of the largest producers of white beans in Ontario. Miller said better finan­ cial returns for corn and soybeans was a major reason for producers turning away from beans. Poor harvesting weather in re­ cent years and what he described as dissatisfaction with marketing procedures were cited as other factors. Some Huron farmers were unhappy with the Ontario Bean Producers Marketing Board, Miller said, but he felt they could be using the marketing board as a “scapegoat.” The trend away from white beans has been most evident in Huron’s central townships where Miller said about half of last year’s acreage has been replaced with soybeans. About a quarter of the bean acreage in the southern portion of tne county has been planted to corn. But John Lumford of Lon­ don, secretary-treasurer of the marketing board, said Monday farmers throughout the province are generally shying away from beans. “It’s really too early to tell just how much of a change there is,” he said. “We estimate it’s between 36 and 40 per cent down this year.” Lumford said even Michigan, Ontario’s main competitor in the white bean market, has experienced a 12 per cent reduction in planted acreage this year. “I’d say price was the main reason. Some other crops are producing better returns,” he said. Lumford said he did not feel there was rampant dis­ satisfaction with the marketing board itself, poin­ ting out that “orderly marketing is not always pop­ ular with everyone.” Just how the reduction in plantings will affect the over-all marketing beans is uncertain point, he said^ As well as our regular programes, we have had a busy week preparing for Senior Citizens Week.

Resolutions Continued from page 1 aspects of the case and the accused’s circumstances when deciding on sentence and said that until a person has sat in court or sat on a jury, the criticism of lenient punishment isn’t fair com­ ment. The second resolution ap­ proved was from the region of York, urging the provin­ cial government to provide more unconditional grants to municipalities rather than conditional grants. ’ They explained that the substantial portion of the assistance from the province is in the form of conditional grants and these not only are contrary to the restraint police, but they render ineffective the policy powers of the local governments, “which are the bodies most competent to effectively and efficiently decide the allocation of their financial resources to best benefit their citizens”. Mayor Derry Boyle said municipalities have to spend money to get the conditional grants and questioned why the provincial authorities think thay have more in­ telligent people than the municipalities to decide how and what local programs should be carried out. Reeve Si Simmons said that in most cases, there was no grant to provide maintenance for the pro­ jects carried out under con­ ditional grant programs.
