Cardiff announces support for Kim Campbell By Lisa Boonstoppel-Pot Upon questioning from Huron- Bruce Progressive Conservative members at their annual meeting April 13, MP Murray Cardiff revealed he was supporting Kim Campbell for the PC leadership. "I know all the candidates really well," he told about 65 members at the meeting in Blyth Memorial Hall. "I've made my own decision It was brought to Blyth council- lors attention at the April 14 meet- ing that the Public Liaison Committee for the Huron County Waste Management Master Plan is in need of additional members. Reeve Dave Lee noted that Blyth was one of the communities fortu- nate to have someone on the com- mittee and was not sure what else they could do. Carol Casey is the Blyth representative. Councillor Steve Sparling sug- gested that perhaps an intentional effort could be made, such as the one done to find people for the vil- lage's road committee. *** A letter from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food requesting the village's participation and recognition of Arbor Week, April 30 to May 9 was filed. Councillors agreed that the letter had not been received in time for proper consid- eration or action to be taken. *** No one from Blyth council will be attending the Good Neighbours Campaign in Toronto. While coun- cillors agreed it was a good pro- gram they felt it was less beneficial in rural communities. The theme for the conference, which will be held in May, is on cooperation between provinces, municipalities and corporate spon- sors in meeting the needs of indi- viduals in a community. *** Carmen Craig of the Huron Pio- neer Thresher Association was pre- sent to get council's approval to proceed with Phase one of the development at the north side of the fairgrounds on an area of property 350 feet wide and 300 feet long and an area 130 feet wide and 160 feet long directly south of this along the east side. who I will support and I told her today." It's the first time he's publicly announced who he's supporting but he advised the delegates he didn't expect them to follow his lead. "You need to make your os... decision but I know Kim Campbell well and though she's been dealt some difficult issues, she's never walked away from them and has dealt with them head on." The landscaping will involve stripping and replacing topsoil and moving approximately 4,000 cubic yards of fill. A gravelled driveway has been proposed running east to west from the arena parking lot to the westerly edge of the develop- ment. Estimated cost is $10,000. Mr. Craig added that the Associa- tion hopes to begin work by mid- May. *** Council agreed to a request from Blyth Community Play co-ordina- tors Karen Stewart and Fran Cook that the road be closed for 20 min- utes to half an hour every evening that the play is being presented for one week. *** A motion passed that Building Inspector Paul Josling's attendance Paul Klopp, MPP Huron, recently announced grants totalling $32,475 to support Blue Box programs of the Township of Howick and the town of Wingham. The funds, announced on behalf of Ontario's Minister of Environment and Energy, Bud Wildman, are provided through the ministry's Municipal Recycling Support Program. "I am delighted to announce these grants for the Blue Box programs in Howick and Wing- ham," Mr. Klopp said. "The people of Huron County have a deep commitment to the environment. Through the Blue Box and other innovative programs, we are taking responsibility for the wastes we create. He also said more leadership hopefuls could still join the race, but that he wouldn't be one of them. He said now was an exciting time to be in government, given the upcoming leadership convention, even though it has been a difficult year. "Unpopular decisions were made but I believe they were the right decisions for the times," he said. at one convention of his choice per year was sufficient. *** Ms Grubb asked for council's consideration regarding occupancy permits for buildings, a standard procedure in other municipalities. "Let's get in the 90s, folks," said Councillor Sparling prior to mak- ing a motion. *** Trevor Grubb was hired as the outside summer worker for the vil- lage. *** Councillor Sparling suggested that committee reports be written as Councillor Shirley Fyfe has been doing with the road committee reports. Council agreed this would decrease any chances for misunder-r standing and could make regular meetings runs more smoothly. "Today, because of the hard work of communities like ours, more than 75 per cent of all homes in Ontario are using the Blue Box to recycle more than 420,000 tonnes of materials every year. Our government is convinced that we will reduce the waste going to disposal by at least 50 per cent by the year 2000." The Township of Howick plans to use its $18,810 grant to buy 25 household bins and to cover the operating, capital, promotion and advertising costs of its Blue Box program. Wingham has allocated $13,665 toward operating, promotion and advertising costs as well as for the purchase of 100 household bins for residents who wish to join the Blue Box Program. "Now Brian Mulroney has resigned and I have to say I was there when he announced his resignation and it was an emotional meeting. We worked closely with him and we (. the caucus) have to give him credit for allowing us to vent our emo- tions." He said Mr. Mulroney had always told the caucus he would never serve more than two terms as prime minister. Though he has received many calls from people who said they were happy Mulroney has resigned, there were also calls from people expressing their dismay. Mr. Cardiff was also questioned about the GATT talks. "I foresee they will conclude by the end of the year," he said. "There seems more of a will to push the European community. Another person asked him about the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the nega- tive image it has. "It's only natural that the media focuses on jobs lost and not on jobs gained," he said. "I just received a letter from a business that created 50 new permanent jobs because of the agreement but to get the mes- sage out that it will create job is extremely difficult." President of the Huron-Bruce PC Association, Tom Jasper of Goderich, also addressed the audi- ence. He talked about the successes of the past year including the Brian Mulroney night which attracted over 100 people from the riding. "We were noted at the meeting for having the largest rural atten- dance," said Mr. Jasper. "It was exciting to meet the prime minister and contrary to news reports, was wonderful inside." He commented on the respect Mr. Cardiff has earned by his fel- low colleagues which he witnessed in Toronto. "It's interesting to see the high respect and regard for Murray. We can be proud of him because people were after him at every turn for advice." An election of officers was held at the meeting with all positions remaining the same as last year. The upcoming PC delegate meet- ing to be held May 6 at Wingham Town Hall was briefly discussed. President Jasper reminded the group that six members, including the association president, were allowed to attend the leadership convention as delegates but there was no limit on audience atten- dance.
