New planning guidelines Times-Advpcate, February 16, 1978 Page 5 Authority executive return At the first full authority meeting of the year, Wednesday, the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority re-elected chair­ man Roy Westcott and vice- chairman Ivan Hearn to another term of office. Reeve Hearn who chaired the meeting in Westcott’s absence, welcomed two new members to the authority, Reeve Si Simmons of Exeter who replaced Jack Delbridge and Charlie Corbett who takes over from Fred Heaman as the provin­ cial appointee. The chairman’s remarks which were read by Hearn, highlighted the several ac­ complishments that took place in 1977. The acquisi­ tion of four acres of flood plain land, repairs that were made to the Exeter, Morrison and Parkhill dams and the construction of 200 feet of sheet pile retaining wall at Port Franks were a few of the areas that the chairman’s report covered. Resources manager Don Pearson in a brief address to the audience said that several improvements will be made to the Parkhill Conservation Area. More playground equipment will be acquired, a barn on the property will be renovated and the Authority will in­ itiate a visitor’s services program. At the Morrison dam a picnic pavilion will be constructed and more picnic areas will be provided at Rock Glen. Pearson also announced that repairs to the Morrison dam to the tune of $15,000, will be carried out in the spring. Cracks in the con­ crete have started to appear in the 20 year old structure. The Canada Works Program which has enabled the Authority to hire three employees for a one year period, “is a good place for the Authority to get funds,” the resources manager stated. One of the conditions that the Authority had to meet in order to receive funds from the program, was that the work was to be recreational in nature. The introduction of numerous cross country and snow­ mobile trails throughout the watershed “has given the authority good visibility,” according to Pearson. Regional Director of the ministry of natural resources Dick Hunter, con- gratulated the authority staff on the excellent job which they have been per­ forming. “The province of Ontario realizes the value of the con- servation authority program.” Hunter said, “and the representatives on the Authority have an obligation to keep the member municipalities in­ formed of the Authority’s doings.” “Communication is important, its the key to our organization,” Hunter add­ ed. The regional director made clear that the tight Salntsbury By MRS. HEBER DAVIS Cottage Service was held at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Larry Greenlee, Sunday. With Reverend Mary Mills in charge. She is preaching on the Book of “Revelations” for the first three Sundays of Lent. Personals Gote Wennerstrom visited Mrs. Garnet Isaac and Marjorie, London, Friday. Mr. & Mrs. Jack Dickins, Exeter and Reverend Mills visited Mrs. Eileen Carrol, Thursday.

Freddie and Patti Dobbs were Saturday guests with their friends Doug and Diane Jackson, London. Mrs. A. Leonard observed her birthday Sunday at the home of her daughter Mr, & Mrs. Ken Eaton. • financial constrictions which the province has plac­ ed on itself is not a tem­ porary situation. “The rain­ bow no longer ends at provincial grants,” he stated. A program which the province may start sometime in the future, is the transfer of funds from one authority to another in order to complete major capital works projects. In closing Hunter stated the conservation authorities have problems but that they can be overcome. The strength of the con­ servation authority move­ ment is its association with the local municipalities was the message that Bob Burger, director of the Conservation Authorities branch, Toronto, brought to the meeting. Burger echoed Hunter’s thoughts and said that the loosening of provincial purse strings was not likely to oc­ cur. One of the new policies that the Branch was plan­ ning to introduce were watershed planning guidelines. The purpose of these guidelines, Burger said, is to set down on a long term basis, the priority of programs for each conser­ vation authority. There will be two benefits eminating from the guidelines, the newly appointed director said. Authorities can begin planning on a long term basis and it will enable the conservation authorities branch to make a stronger presentation to the cabinet for funds. The authority’s 1977 finan­ cial report indicated a small increa’se in the levy to member municipalities. A general levy of $118,085.00 will be required this year as compared to $117,644.00 for 1977. Following discussion of the 1978 advisory board membership, Stanley township representative Paul Steckle said that the Authority should try to ac­ quire more land along the Bayfield river and pointed out that it is an area of much prime recreational land. Hay township reeve Jack Tinney asked if it was not the preference of the conser­ vation authorities branch that the purchase of land between authority proper­ ties was not a more favoured method of land acquisition. Hunter said that the Branch supports the idea of land infilling but that “it is a question of priorities.” The authority has done background work on the purchase of property in the Bayfield region Pearson said, and that land acquisi­ tion priorities could be altered. Bill Amos, a member of the land acquisition com­ mittee said that it has not been a policy of the com­ mittee to pursue properties that have not appeared on the market. In motions that were ap­ proved at the meeting, Peter Raymond of Raymond and McLean was appointed to handle routine legal tran­ sactions for the Authority and the Exeter branch of the Bank of Montreal was ap­ pointed to handle the Authority’s banking transac­ tions for this year.

Every time I look out this window, he’s shovelling, tirelessly. Can never be sure he’s real. More like a ghost who has been assign­ ed this job for eternity, instead of coal in the Other Place. This is worse. Wife worries about sister-in-law, liv­ ing alone in the country. Worries about her father, hoping he won’t try to get around the rural mail route today. Worries about her daughter, who must bundle herself and The Boys up and venture into the storm to deliver them to day care, herself to practice teaching assignment. Tell her not to worry. There’s nothing we can do about it. In fact am rather enjoying the storm, the cut-off feeling. The not going to work feeling. A good storm is rather like a purge. Cleanses the spirit of that daily grumbling about the weather.

It’s the same old story. You’re ready for a nice hot shower or relaxing tub before going to bed and...brrrrrr...the old water heater gives you the cold shoulder again. It’s almost unbearable, isn’t it? There is an answer, though. And it’s a very simple and very reliable one, indeed: Gulfstream. A new Gulfstream Natural Gas water heater heats up water a whole lot faster than the electric ones. So when you’re ready, there’s a ready supply of hot water. Ahhhhhh, now that’s comforting to know. Also, too, an ultra-modem Gulfstream Natural Gas water heater is very, very economical. Jasper doesn’t realize it, but for many of us, it can cost up to twice as much to heat the same amount of water with electricity as it does with Natural Gas. Imagine that. No wonder so many homes in this neck of the woods have Gulfstream in their basements. To find out all the warm and wonderful reasons for getting a new Gulfstream Natural Gas water heater, call your local plumbing contractor or your neighbour­ hood Union Gas Whether you want to rent or buy...Gulfstream Appliance Centre. union grs is a sure fire way appliance to get yourself into a lot of hot water.
