Morris council deals with lengthy agenda Morris Township Council dealt with a lengthy agenda at its regular meeting on April 7; while many of the items on the agenda were of a “housekeeping” nature, drainage problems, as usual, occupied a fair bit of the evening session. Councillor Howie Morton said that he had visited Gary Caswell, foreman at Mac Black’s farm at Bluevale, and had told Mr. Caswell that the old drain which outlets on the farm is a private drain not maintained by the township, and that therefore the landowner may dowithitashe wishes. Mr. Morton reported that he had also spoken to Ross Smith of Bluevale, assuring him that the culvert for the Barnard Drain would not be removed as Mr. Smith had feared. A petition from John Nesbit for the repair of the Govier Drain and one from Larry Badley for the repair of the McCaughey Drain were accepted, with drainage superintendent Gary Nicholson to be notified of the repairs. As well, a tile drain loan application submitt­ ed by Ron McNichol and Ron and Debra Root at Lot 16, south half, on Concession 6 was accepted, sub­ ject to the availability of funds. A letter from OMAF outlining the tile drain policy for 1987-88 was read, suggesting a maximum loan of $20,000 at an interest rate of eight per cent, or a maximum loan of 75 per cent of the total cost of tiling. In other business, Councillor Morton advised that he has been named to the management com­ mittee of the Wingham Area Fire Board; andamotionwas passed naming Paul Moffatt as the township representative to the Wingham Recreation Board for 1987. Council also fully supported the recommendation from Brus- Handicapped student may return to school, board says The Huron County Board of Education has overturned a 1983 resolution which made it imposs­ ible to keep a mentally-handicapp­ ed student in the regular school system past the age of 21, paving the way for providing programm­ ing for certain older handicapped students. Announced at the board’s regu­ lar meeting on April 6, the decision followed a request from a parent that her child, who will be 22 next year, be allowed to continue in the program in which she is currently enrolled in a county secondary school. Neither the student nor the school were identified by trustees. Clinton-Tuckersmith trustee Sally Rathwell made the motion to rescind the earlier resolution “on the grounds that the needs of this young adult are still being met in our schools.” Students with challenging learn­ ing needs, designated as “traina- bly retarded” by the school board, have their programming needs ^reviewed by an independent com­ mittee on an annual basis, with students past the age of 21 normally being transferred to the ARC Industries facility in Dash­ wood to continue their education. Director of education Bob Allen said that prior to seeking approval for the new resolution, provincial funding had been investigated. He said that a grant equalling the elementary ceiling amount would be provided in this case, noting that government funding for train- ably retarded students up to the age of 21 is somewhat more substantial. “I am sure that the Ministry of Education does not want to make funding so attractive that we will see large numbers of TR students kept at public schools to the age of 40,” he said. seis that Keith Mulvey be appoint­ ed to the Industrial Commission for the remainder of the year. Council asked that a letter be sent to the Ministry of Transporta­ tion and Communications advising it that Morris feels strongly about the state of disrepair of Highway 4 between Blyth and Wingham, suggesting that at total reconstruc­ tion of this stretch should be a high priority, and requesting a meeting with MTC officials in the near future. Kevin and Sam Pletch of Bel­ grave appeared before council to request a consideration of rezon­ ing, which would permit the opening of a public roadway on a part of their property which cannot be sold without such a designation. The township will seek advice on this matter, and will report back at the council meeting on April 21. Council had no objection to severance applications by Robert and Marie Taylor of Belgrave, and for H.J. Sieber Farms Ltd. in East Wawanosh Township, and for George Wesenberg in Grey Town­ ship. A copy of the new “Home­ owners Building Guide,” recently compiled by the Township of Morris, will be mailed to each landowner in Morris in the near future. Following the receipt of a requestfromTuckersmithTwp. for a grant to cover the costs of two Morris Twp. children enrolled at the Tuckersmith Day Care Centre, Morris council agreed that the parents of the children would be contacted with the option of either paying their share of the grant to the day care centre in advance, or being billedfor itatthe 1987 tax billing. The financial statement of the Belgrave Community Centre was presented for council’s informa­ tion; and the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre Board’s budget was accepted as presented by Dale Newman and Neil Gowing. Amotionwas passed to forward $300 to the Bluevale Cemetery Board for 1987. Road accounts in the amount of $17,265.76 were presented and approved; as were general ac­ counts in the amount of $14,569.17 Morris Council was scheduled to meet at Belgrave on April 13, while the next regular meeting will be held at7:30p.m. on April 21, at the Morris Municipal Building.
