The Colborne Twp. council held
its regular meeting on March 1 at
the Colborne Township Comm
unity Hall.
A by-law to change the zoning
on the Benmiller Heights
Subdivision from Village Residen
tial (Medium Density)-Special
(VR2-1) and Open Space-Parkland
(OS 2) to Village Residential (Low
Density) (VR1) was passed. The
zoning change was requested by
Jeff Fisher and Hugh Burgsma who
wish to develop the property with
single family dwellings.
Council accepted the recom
mendation of the Planning
Advisory Committee to defer a
decision on the Official Plan
Amendment application of Ernie
and Sharon Marshall. The
applicants have requested a change
to the Official Plan to permit rural
residential development on their
property at Part Lot 8, Cone. 8. The
bills and accounts for the month
ending Feb. 28 in the total amount
of $43,984.27 as supported by the
appropriate invoices were approved
for payment.
Council has been informed that
the Ministry of Culture, Tourism
and Recreation has approved the
Township's application for the
1993 Recreation Assistance for
Small Communities Grant in the
amount of $5,000.
Township Softball Registration

Hall on Thursday, March 26, 6:30
p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Saturday,
March 28, 10 a.m. to 12 noon.
Clerk John Stewart will attend
the Municipal Election Seminar,
April 6 in Guelph and approved
payment of the registration fee in
the total amount of $90.95 GST
included.
Council instructed the clerk to
advise the Huron County Planning
and Development Department that
the township was in favour of the
formation of a committee involving
the Town of Goderich and
Townships of Goderich and
Colborne to discuss inter-municipal
concerns.
The next regularly scheduled
council meeting will be held on
Tuesday, March 15, at 8 p.m. at the

County Council briefs
Courthouse renovations a top priority
Major renovations to allow hand
icapped access to the Huron Coun
ty court house will be the number
one priority for the federal and
provincial funds available under a
program to stimulate employment
while supporting infrastructure.
All told the renovations were
estimated to cost $1.7 million,
$400,000 for access for the handi
capped and $1.3 million for other
renovations. Plans may be scaled
back somewhat to allow the recon
struction of County Road 7 through
Howick Township under the same
grant. That was originally budgeted
at $1.6 million.
The county has been allotted
$2,873,787 under the infrastructure
program, of which the county's
share is $957,929.
***
Because of his experience in the
renovation and construction of the
Huron County Museum, Claus
Breede, director/curator has been
named the project manager for the
renovation of the old Huronview
building. That renovation, funded
by a jobsOntario grant, will see
some parts of the old building
demolished while other portions are
renovated for office space for the
library and health unit.
***
County councillors will hold a
strategic planning day, open to any
member of die public, at the Ben-
miller Inn on Friday, April 8,
beginning at 8:30 a.m. The Strate
gic Planning Committee looks at
ways to make the county more effi
cient.
***
There will be no reprieve for
Goderich Municipal Airport from
county grant reductions. County
councillors backed a decision by
the Administration, Finance and
Personnel Committee to keep the
plan to reduce grants to bodies such
as the airport, Vanastra Recreation
Centre and Blyth Festival by one
third from the 1993 levels. By 1996
all grants are scheduled to be
phased out.
Goderich officials had made a
presentation to the committee ask
ing for reconsideration. Last month
several councillors, including Blyth
Reeve Dave Lee, warned that if the
airport was given special considera
tion, they would be asking for the
same consideration for facilities in
their municipalities.

Brown notes change
Continued from page 15
wish to cancel their insurance on
any crops must do so by April 1,
otherwise they will be insured and
required to pay the required
premium.
Mr. Brown also noted that one
change in program delivery
requires that farmers fill out their
own Final Acreage Reports after
planting. "This will streamline the
administration of the program
because the exchange of
information will be directly
between clients and head office.
The turnaround time to process
these forms will be significantly
reduced, resulting in both cost
savings and faster processing of
claim payments."
District co-ordinators have
recently been appointed to help
producers with all aspects of their
crop insurance plans. The
streamlined administration of the
program will allow the new district
co-ordinators to devote their lime
to customer service.
"The district co-ordinator
positions were created as part of the
Crop Insurance Commission's
restructuring of field delivery," said
Mr. Brown. "We're excited about
the changes, as they will reduce
costs and at the same time enhance
customer services in the field. This
demonstrates the government's
long-term commitment to
providing efficient crop insurance
programs to Ontario producers."
Most of the district co-ordinator
positions have been filled. Those
that have not will be filled prior to
May 1.
Any questions regarding
enrolment in the Crop Insurance
Program should be addressed to the
farmer's local crop insurance
district co-ordinator. Where a
position is still vacant, insured or
uninsured producers should contact
their local OMAF field office or the
Crop Insurance Commission at
(416) 326-3276 with any questions.
