decreased provincial
funding.
The suggestion put
forward as a preferred
course of action was for
the county to continue an
aggressive updating of
the roads system for the
next te« years so that
future c.lr.struction and
rtiaintenance costs can he
reduced.
It
ec(1mmended
spending 2 I -million
each year for the next
three bears to resurface
the county roads that
onir have one layer of
paving and to use the
$4.5 -million transfer
money from the province
to reconstruct Highway
43 (the worst of the
transferred roads) and to
resurface the other trans-
ferred highway
The problem some
ncillors had with the
Aan was that the coun-
iy's $I -million highway
reserve would be used by
the roads department to
cover the expenses.
Coun. Brian
McBurney of Turnherry
Twp. disagreed with the
idea of spending the
entire reservetn one year.
He said.he understands
the reserve fund is
intended for rainy days,
but he questioned why it
should all be spent the
first rainy day.
C'oun. Mickle cif
Exeter agreed
He said the rese•Ae
should not be used
because Highway 86 and
Highway 4 may still he
down -loaded by the
province and there may
not he any compensation
dollars when that hap-
pens.
He said the use of the
reserve is dangerous
because it is suggests the
county can always find
dollars in a pinch,
"Yes talk with the
minister, but go in with a
strong hand," said
money is wrong -- it tells
the minister we can find
the money."

11The peacemakers
usually ask (in a dispute),
'Do you want to have
this solved. Can we solve
it together, or 'do you
want a teacher?' If the
child says, 'No 1 don't
want to deal with you
guys,. -it goes on to the
teacher,'" Tebbutt
explained.
With the peer media-
tion program, Tebbutt
has found thac if the par-
ties agree to a resolution
and write it down. "...it
ends up having a more
;.,..
than
me laying down the
rules."
Playground equipment
Students at the scho.,l
have terrific new play-
ground equipment this
year. Tebbutt said the
School Advisory Coun,:i1
was instrumental in hav-
ing the unsafe equipment
replaced.
Through fund-raising
and volunteer work byr
council members, an.d
manual and monetary
help from the Optimists,
Kinsmen, • Kinettes.
Legion and Lions the
equipment was in pl:.ce,
when students st-arced
classes this fall.-

And he added that the
transfer of money from a
capital reserve fund to a
department would break
a public trust
He said the county has
been asking the public
for reserve money to
fund capital projects, and
it that money is simply
transferred to the road
department to cover
maintenance needs, they
are betraying the public's
confidence.
"It we need capital
dollars in the future, how
can we go hack t.o the
people in good con-
science," said Mickle.
