HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1978-05-17, Page 17The Clinton Business
Association have decided to..
operate their farmer's market
again this summer, hoping it will
bring more visitors into the town.
Heather Ross, chairman of the
association and, owner of The
Arbor Gift Shop, said the
association isn't trying to make
money with the market, but just
to bring people into the town.
Last year the market was
operated at the corner of Hwy, #4
and Hwy. #8, but the location
didn't offer any cover for vendors
when it rained.
This year, the association plans
to operate the market in
Agriculture Park on Saturday
mornings from 8 a,rn. to 1 p.m.,
from June 10 to Sept 29.
Ms,- Ross said there is a new
grandstand in the park, and
vendors can move their booths
Report from Queen's Park
under this shelter in the event of a
storm,
Also, she said visitors to the,
market will find, ample parking on
the grounds of the park..
Vendors, who pay a $5 weekly
rental fee for their booth, can sell
anything with the exception of
meat and dairy products.
Last year, Ms. Ross said
vendors sold fruits and
vegetables, plants, flowers, a
variety of crafts and home baking,
She said the baking in par-
ticular was a popular item with
market visitors,.
Ms. Ross said church groups or
other groups such as figure
skating clubs, etc. can rent a
booth for a money-raising project.
Last year, the Clinton
Businessmen's Association lost
about $1,000 on the market's
operation.
These expenses were incurred
in paying a market clerk, printing
publicity materials and
advertising the market in the
Huron County media.
While Ms. Ross emphasized
the association doesn't plan to
make money from the market,
they are hopeful this year's fee
structure will cover the operating
costs of the market.
She said, "The public response
has been tremendous. It's finding
vendors that's difficult ".

Opposition members of the
Legislature berated the Ontario
Government this week for
refusing to release publicly-
financed opinion polls,
suggesting that the Government
was using them for partisan
purposes.
Education Minister Tom Wells
denied that the polls which were
commissioned by his Ministry are
being used for plotting election
strategy.
The Ministry has
commissioned six polls at a cost of
$340,000. Only one poll has been
made public.
Every Ontario kindergarten
teacher will be expected to test
students to see which need
special education help, start 'ing
this September.
Mr. Wells indicated that the
school system hasn't had good
identification of children with
learning disabilities in the past.
Research indicates that
teachers should find that 18% of
the children need some kind of
extra help.
The Ontario Government has
given in to considerable public
pressure, and has returned about
W% of the Niagara Escarpment'
planning area to the control of
municipal councils.
Prior to the announcement this
week by ]Resources D eveloprnent
Secretary, Rene Brunelle, the
Escarpment Commission had
about 2.1 million acres under its
jurisdiction. About 800,000 acres
will remain under Commission
control.

ment's decision was the
