BYMARK CRIPPS MARK CRIPPS for The Huron Expositor Huron -Bruce MP Paul Steckle said he "apologizes" to Ontario Corn Producers for claims that the federal government is jeopardizing construction of a $170 million ethanol plant in Chatham and to others in the province. "I'm sorry that things aren't mov- ing fast enough on this issue" said Steckle. The Ontario Corn Producers are asking the federal government to show support for ethanol -blended gasoline the same way the U.S. government has. Ethanol, a renewable resource, can be made from corn and blended with conventional automobile gaso- line to create a cleaner -burning fuel. In the U.S., it is estimated that renewable fuels will reach a 30 per cent market share by 1996. McKillop Township introduces recycling McKillop Township recently joined the Bluewater Recycling Association. Commencing at the end of July door to door pick-up of recycled material would take place every second week in McKillop. McKillop set the Mill Rate for 1994. There was an increase for municipal purposes of five per cent For residential and farm, public school support increased 4.68 per cent and separate school increased 4.08 per cent. * * * McKillop Josling of Blyth was appointed as McKillop- Township's Chief Building Official. * * * A tender was accepted at McKillop Council's August meeting from A.G. Hayter Construction Ltd. for construction of Canada Com- pany Municipal Drain '94. The total tender price was $24,155.25. would 20 .,�u:,.., bushels If constructed, the Chatham plant would use million bushes of corn, producing 200 million litres of ethanol. The economic spin-off to Ontario corn producers is estimated at $60 million. "I support the ethanol cause," said Steckle. "We (the federal govem- ment) should be moving quicker. There is a will, and a number of members have put together a strong lobby to move the ethanol cause through Cabinet." Steckle said it's important for Canada to move quickly on ethanol production, and added that the Americans are looking at construct- ing 49 new plants. "If we don't have the production here, we'll wind up importing it," he said. "But my argument is, it seems we (federal government) can find money for other causes that I feel are less important. This money should be committed wisely and where it will do the most it will do most good." OCPA executive vice president Terry Daynard said rural MPs like Steckle have been "very supportive" when it comes to ethanol. "There are close to 60 Liberal backbenchers who have written letters to Prime Minister Chretien," said Daynard. "But the Cabinet continues to drag their heels, and they're the ones who make the rules." "They just seem to be reluctant on the ethanol issue." Daynard also criticized the Cana- dian oil industry for the government's delay in voicing commitment to the ethanol industry. "The oil lobby in this country is very strong," said Daynard. "They've been lobbying flat out to defeat ethanol." Daynard said the Canadian oil industry is "afraid" because of the quick emergence of ethanol fuel in the U.S. Township backs tax exemption for first $10,000 Tuckersmith Township supports a tax exemption for the first $10,000 in municipal pay received by a councillor. Deputy -Reeve Robert Broadfoot, however, opposed the motion of council. "We're saying to provincial and federal politicians to cut back the freebies...that's why I don't support it." Council supported the resolution, which came from the Town of Walkerton, at the August 16 town - Wilson court case put over to Sept The Buryl Wilson sexual mol- estation charges will be put over until Sept. 14 in provincial court. The trial has not yet been heard in the gross indecency and pay- ing for sex with a minor charges against the former Seaforth District High School teacher. ship meeting. The, resolution is simply a recommendation and won't become law unless accepted by provincial or federal govern- ments. "The majority of small urban and rural municipalities do not have the financial resources needed to pay their Councillors an amount that is commensurate with that degree of accountability, responsibility and effort," said the resolution of the Town of Walkerton. Townships discuss joint COP plan Tuckersmith Township Council- lors heard that three municipalities may discuss joining their local community -oriented policing (COP) committees.
