At maturity, the plants would have been worth about $100,000. OPP are still investigating and no charges have been laid. OPP warn rural property owners to watch for suspicious activity in remote areas of their property because this is the time of year people growing marihuana plant their crops. .On June 2, a 49 -year-old Ripley man was charged with impaired drivingand having more than 80 mg of alcohol in his system after being stopped for speeding.

Bruce board critical of education cuts CHESLEY--The province's Ex- penditure Control Plan could cost the Bruce County. Board of Education $400,000 this year alone, according to rough estimates from finance chair Allan MacKay. MacKay, at the board's June 1 meeting, was critical of the province's unexpected announ- cement of the funding cuts. "Just two weeks ago we had a budget review, and we thought we were on track at that time," said MacKay. MacKay said the board was not anticipating cuts of the magnitude announced in a May 26 memo from the assistant deputy minister of education. Among the changes announced in that memo are a new definition of full-time students, restrictions on funding for portable classrooms, . cuts to the one-time restructuring grants and to computer grants al- ready allocated, and the end of provincial grants for driver education and partial -credit con- tinuing education courses. MacKay said the biggest factor for the Bruce board is the change in defini ' n of a full-time student. It meanStthe board will no longer -get grants for about 100 students now taking less than 151 minutes of class a day. Many of these students are at the OAC level and going to school part-time while working to save money for university. The change in rules means the board will lose about $500,000 a year in grants for those students. Higher property tax and more user fees are two results MacKay predicts from the province's Expen- diture Control Plan. Driver education costs, for example, could be doubled because of the loss of grants for .he in -class portion of the course. Students could have to pay directly through fees to make up the difference. "We don't plan to run it at a deficit," said MacKay. The only way to avoid higher taxes as a result of the grant cuts, MacKay • suggested, is for the province to cut board costs as much as it has cut their funding. He said that could come through social contract talks and restrictions on •from page 1 employee salaries and benefits. While MacKay says he enjoys the challenge of his job as finance chair, he is not happy with the province's lack of commitment to education funding. "Everything that can be cut is on the table and could be cut," he said. "We have a government with a track record where every decision can be tinned around or reversed." Some of ,the initiatives in the Expenditure Control Plan are not practical, while others will mean significant cost to the board, accor- ding .to • board officials. One item encourages board to make more efficient use of existing school space, but contracts determine how many students a teacher can have in each class. "I don't think it's practical that we put two teachers in a classroom (to fill it up)," said MacKay. Other changes means the board will have more short-term bor- rowing costs because of a change in scheduling of grant installments, and because the changes were an- nounced almost half -way into the year. criteria to potential, landfill sites and hopefully find suitable potential locations. Reeve Tom Tomes said potential sites will undergo testing in the fall but a landfill will likely not be operational until 1998. "It is a lengthy and costly process," said Tomes. GRAND OPENING—Sandra Harmer talks about sinks and faucets with Connie Kuc of Belgrave. Harmer and her partner, Bob Smyth, officially opened their -Cedar Lane Design shop at RR 2, Auburn, on June -4 and 5. (Debbie Davidson photo) Cedar-LaneDesign hasrand opening �. Once regarded as the top of the market in Toronto, designers Sandra Harmer and Rob Smyth are now continuing their top of the market work in the heart of southwestern rural Ontario. Cedar Lane Design, a 'one-stop shopping' showroom offering a complete service package at RR 2, Auburn, had.its grand opening on - Fri., June 4, and Sat., June 5, 1993. Harmer decidedto continue doing what she' loves best, space - planning and re -designing either existing spaces or designing new ones, after taking up permanent residence in West Wawanosh a year ago. After 12 years in a high-pressure atmosphere, the partners closed their kitchen showroom in Toronto and moved to this area. They have converted the "slaughter or kill -house" on their property to an upscale showroom, making sure to blend in the new Showroom with the natural landscape onthe property. Cedar Lane Design offers everything needed for a renovation project, along with design, cabinets, flooring, tiles, appliances, interior decorating services and installation; A lot of their work is still being done in major centres, like Pick: ering, Toronto, Guelph andACambridge, but Smyth said "we're hoping to attract local customers with our quality products and service". Even though the move from city to country was a monumental one for Harmer, she said the trade off for having to do a lot of travelling now is worth the "joy of living here". Cedar Lane Design offers the types of materials people are accus- tomed to seeing in larger centres. The shop carries two lines of cabinetry from the lower end 'builder line' to more exclusive, once-in-a- lifetime cabinets, as well as German ,Integrated Appliances by Miele.
