Auctioneer Richard Lobb 482-7898 Owner - Jeane Kirkby 887-6038 1) TNR HURON UPO$ITOR, March 1111, 1954-13 News and Views 7 Groups voice concern over budget BY DON JACKSON For Huron Expositor The Clinton Town Hall was filled with local health, labour, education and municipal leaders last Thursday as Brad Ward, Min- ister Without Portfolio from the Ontario Ministry of Finance, stopped on a tour of such meet- ings to hear local concerns about the upcoming provincial budget. Huron County Board of Education Director Paul Carroll told Ward how his trustees have tried to come to terms with some of the cuts they've had to make, citing the work with the Roman Catholic Separate School Board and other joint ventures the board has made with local community groups. He said that despite these efforts at saving money the board was still in a very difficult situation. 47. CARDS OF THANKS KEMP Dear friends, your generously kind remembrances have touched me deeply.

A special thank you to Dr. Shepherd, Khy and Fiori for their excellent care and also to Art and Dave for their ride to London. - Joe Sterner 47-11x1 "We've cut to the bone and we're going to have a tough time cutting more because there's nowhere to tum. "I want to ask for help... the fact is that the money isn't there and we have to change the way we do business.,. We're on the edge. We've had hundreds of meetings to try to get this thing (financial situation) sorted out and we just can't do it." Carroll said that the board has cut a large portion of its expen- ditures but that it can't absorb much more provincial downloading. "We know after Floyd (Laughren, Minister of Finance) level with us and Dave Cooke (Minister of Education) brings out the GNGs (General Legislative Grants) were going to be looking at (tax) increases of five to 10 per cent all over again." Ward opened the meeting, termed a pre -budget consultation, with a brief presentation, by out- lining the province's priorities and their track record regarding job creation, preserving services, deficit control and economic growth. He stated, "Over the last three years, our government has created over 300,000 jobs," and cited an expenditure decline of 4.3 per cent last year. "It's the fust time in the province's history that the deficit actually decreased." He said that if the government had "done nothing about the deficit," it would be roughly $16.7 billion, but because of deficit control measures, the deficit this year is around $9.5 billion. Ward accused the federal government of systematic discrimination against Ontario in the Mulroney administration. He said the province was hoping things would change with a new Liberal federal government, but that the province is still being short-changed in comparison with other provinces. The federal share of welfare payments were used by Ward as an example to illustrate his point. "With a person in Clinton who gets welfare, for every dollar they get, 29 cents comes from Ottawa. The same dollar in Winnipeg or Montrlttal, 50 cents comes from Ottawa. After Ward's presentation, mem- bers of the audience were invited to come to the microphone and voice suggestions, concerns and questions about the upcoming provincial budget. This is when Carroll made his comments. Clinton Public Hospital Ad- ministrator Allan Halls said he is frustrated with the province's claims it is encouraging job cre- ation and cuts the public sector at the same time. "I find it somewhat frustrating when the question is how to create jobs and we're looking at a loss of 20-30 jobs in the hospitals (because of funding cuts)," he said. Huron County Medical Officer of Health Maarten Bokhout said he agrees with the province asking for input on the local level. "I certainly applaud the fact that these kinds of forums are being held on a regular basis," Bokhout went on to criticize the province for cutting funds on one hared and introducing legislation which costs the public sector extra dollars to put in place. "If the province runs its pay equity prog am, it's going to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars." Clinton Mayor Case Buffinga said the Social Contract Act was unfair in some rural municipalities because it protects employees who make under $30,000 per year, and in smaller municipalities there are often very few employees who make more than this. Asa result, a small number of employees, who often make only slightly more than the $30,000 cut off mark, end up bearing the burden for everyone. "It's always been a mystery why the government couldn t have said 'X' number of dollars for everyone involved." Clinton Councillor Burt Lobb was concerned about the jobsOn- tario program and whether it was providing long-term, stable employment. "What follow up are you doing on individuals that have gotten a job through that (jobsO- ntario). Are you making sure these programs you're making are working?" Huron MPP Paul Klopp said he was impressed with the tum -out at the meeting. "There was a very good cross-section of our county and they did our county proud, he said, adding that while at most meetings like this one in larger municipalities, 50 people is con- sidered a good turn -out, "My guess is that there were about 80 people there. I was very impressed and I think Brad was, too. He stated that the upcoming budget will be a tough one for the province, since it lost revenue when cigarette taxes dropped and "we received some (unpleasant) surprises with the federal transfers." He added that the people have made it clear they are sick of tax increases so it will be difficult for the government to make up for lost revenue. He said that Ward and Laughren are visiting various municipalities and listening to suggestions before drafting the province's next budget. Klopp said that while no official date has been set for the next budget, he doesn't think it will be put forward for at least another month. Recyciing.poiicy"for Seaforth A summary of recycling pol- icies from Goderich, Exeter, Clinton and Seaforth was reviewed by Seaforth Council's Transportation and Environment 'Committee at their March 1 meeting lrl Order to develop a new recycling policy for the Town of Seaforth. The committee decided they needed further information regarding the town's current servicing agreement with Bluewater Recycling before developing a new policy. The committee did recommend that the Town of Seaforth imple- ment a fee of $5 per requests for second blue boxes by either resi- dential or commercial users. "We have an unwritten policy if a business asks fora blue box, we give them one and it's dumped at our (Seaforth's) cost. Some are asking for additional blue boxes, a second or third - each of which costs the town to dump," said Deputy -Clerk Garrick. Goderich has a user -pay Stop sign replacement A report by Seaforth Road Superintendent John Forrest to Town Council's Transportation and Environment Committee that the Ministry of Transportation has indicated all stop signs might have to be replaced with high- intensity signs in the future, sparked some comments by council members at their Mar. 8 meeting.

Can we refurbish the old ones?" asked Coun. Bill Teall. Reeve Bill Bennett suggested that sanding down and repainting old stop signs might cost just as much as the new ones. "The MTO spec- ifications are very exact," said Administrator Jim Crocker. • The old stop signs are recycled by the Public Works department. As long as the signs aren't dented too badly, a high- intensity overlay can be pur- chased to cover them. The cost of a new stop sign is $10 more recycling service where busi- nesses come in to town hall, sign a form saying how much service they require. The business then pays for the box and a service fee is added to their taxes. Cur- rently Seaforth: s.. contract, with.; Bluewater Recycling is for resi-- dential pick-up. Commercial is not included, said Deputy -Clerk Garrick. The question for the town is "Do we provide the service for free or charge?" A representative from Bluewater Recycling will attend the c mittee's next meeting. 16m y town than the overlay to cover old signs. Although new stop signs should be good for 10 years, John Forrest, Road Superintend- ent, says the quality of stop signs has decreased over the last 10 years. Another reason for the increased fading of the stop signs is the intensity of the sun's ultraviolet rays over the last two or three years, suggests Forrest. Replacing faded road signs is a yearly task performed by Seaforth's Public Works depart- ment. Tuckersmith not in favour of new fire truck BY TIM CUMMING Expositor Editor Tuckersmith Township Council decided not to support the purchase of a new fire truck for the Seaforth fire department at its March 1 meet- ing...at least not at that time. The council met again on March 15 but results were not available at press time. After lengthy discussion on March 1 council defeated a motion to authorize purchase of the new pumper. It also did not approve the Seaforth Fire Area operating budget. Council did approve proposed capital expenditures for the fire department in the amount of $16,500. Seaforth has a 1975 truck while Clinton has a 1969 truck. "I'm opposed to them buying a truck (this year)," said Robert Broedfoot. "Clinton's sitting there with a '69 and Seaforth has a '75...in my mind the truck in Seaforth isn't in as bad shape as the one in Clinton." Coun. Larry McGrath asked if it was township policy to hire some - ono from outside of the township. The question at Tuckersmith Town- ship Council's March 1 meeting referred to a wage increase approved for an employee who was upgraded to the 'mower operater' job classification. Coun. Bill DeJong said the part- time employee was a Tuckersmith property owner who had recently moved just outside the township. "Just because someone lives 300 feet from this imaginary line should not prevent him from working in the global community," said Bill Carnochan, Tuckersmith Township Reeve. ♦•w Tuckersmith Township approved a tractor -backhoe course for a roads employee over the objections of Corm. Larry McGrath.-- - - The councillor said when the equipment was purchased he was led to believe there would be no new costs to the township. Reeve Bill Carnochan said the $510 was a smell amount to teach a worker property safety, maintenance and equipment operation. "If we get the proper education it will save us money," he said. National Wild- life Week Seaforth Mayor Hazel Hildebrand proclaimed April 10- 16 as 'National Wildlife Week' in Seaforth, at Council's March 8 meeting.
