implemented, although they
recognize that a number of
the functions of a medical
staff can best be achieved at a
local (community) level.
The hospital bed issue has
also been resolved, with the
406 beds outlined in their
preferred option in January
juggled, taking 29 beds from
Stratford (new total 153) and
giving 11 to Wingham (46),
seven to Goderich (66), five
more to both Exeter (19) and
St. Marys (19) and three to
Clinton (19). One bed was
taken from hospitals in
'Seaforth (34) and Listowel
(50).
Bell said the changes were
relatively minor in scope,
"butmajor in the: eyes of
these communities."
The task force next meets
on March 25 to prepare a
draft of their final recommen-
dation, with the official pre-
sentation to take place March
27.
Phone not working

staff for Huron and Perth be
because the telephone line
was not working at the time
of the high levels," the Works
Superintendent's report
states.
He said flooding problems
that weren't as extensive in
Seaforth last September
weren't related.
Clerk Crocker said he
assumes it was a telephone
switching system that com-
plicated last month's flood-
ing, and noted a clean water
agency electrician had been
at Seaforth's sanitation plant
three times the day of the
incident and couldn't find
any problem with the equip-
ment.
Crocker said two claims arc
sitting on his desk, an inci-
dent report is being prepared
by OCWA, and the agency's
adjuster has been in contact.

30-NOUR FAMINE - Members of the First Presbyterian Youth Group in Seaforth once
again participated in a 30 -hour famine to raise money for the Foodgrains Bank. They went
without food from Friday atter lunch until Saturday evening. They kept busy in the base-
ment of the church by watching movies, making puzzles, playing indoor soccer and read-
ing. They went through 34 bottles of carbonated water and when it came time to eat after it
was over, the group devoured nine large pizzas. Sitting in front: Lindsey Powell, Jill
McKichan, Lydia Zulauf and Dale Ann McKichan.Back row: Ryan Powell, fan McKichan,
Stephanie Bach, Erin Nicholson, Gabe Lawton, Len Steep. Missing: Craig Nicholson, Ryan
Nicholson, Scott Forrest. Joan Stewart, who recently returned from a Foodgrains trip to
Afnca, talked to the group Friday night. We'll have a story on her trip next week.
Old agreement refers to horses, wagons
CONTINUED from page 1
Hildebrand said she had no
objection to designating the
lane as a fire route, but she
had no intention of plowing.
The 126 -year-old agree-
ment refers to horses, wagons
and carriages, Bob told coun-
cil Tuesday night. The old
lane is almost "dead centre"
where Lots 28 and 29 abut.
and is the driveway into
Costello's home.
"If we don't own it - we
don't plow it," as Clerk Jim
Crocker summed up the
town's policy on private
roadways to council.
He suggested a solution
might be for the property
owners to eventually deed the
lane to the town.
The High Street alley has
deteriorated since the Kling
store went out of business
downtown, because that fam-
ily also owned a gravel busi-
ness and the right equipment
so kept the lane up as a mat-
ter of course.
Bob has been parking his
cars on what would be desig-
nated a 'fire route, on his
property.
All a fire route does is pro-
hibit parking. Clerk Jim
Crocker told council.
BUSY PLACE
The Costellos aren't sorry
to see some of the potholes
that have developed in the
lane recently. They act as
speed bumps.
"Everybody and anybody"
uses it, some just "tearing"
through there, Bob told coun-
cil.
"Private" signs haven't
worked for the Costellos.
Coun. John Ball wondered if
a "fire route" sign would
make any difference.
The Costellos said they had
no problem with a lire route,
unless it led to a lot of traffic
through their lane.
Consensus from all con-
cerned at the council get-
together seemed to be that it
was unlikely an emergency
vehicle couldn't get in there
in a crisis.
Bob said he would try to%
work something out with
everybody, contacting those
with rights of way on the
deeds, and get back to the
town clerk.
Coun. Michael Hak
declared a conflict of interest
and withdrew from the room
until the deputation left and
Spending $1.1 million less
CONTINUED from page I
"After this year, it will then
be up to the new board as to
what is done," Carroll stated,
as to what will happen to the
plan after amalgamation.
The director of education
said he was happy with these
figures, stating "we ended the
year in a positive position."
"We managed ourselves
well, we didn't have any sur-
prises that we didn't expect,"
he stated.
The elementary panel was
the only section to over
spend, ending the year with
spending $37,598 over the
estimated budget. The sec-
ondary panel ended the year
with a $663,223 surplus and
the board administration cen-
tre had $228,977 less than
originally budgeted.
However, the education
director did state in a later
interview that they do have to
be careful not to cut so much
that it starts to effect the pro-
grams. "At the moment we
are sort of hovering on the
edge," he said.
Carroll added that every-
thing for the 1997 budget is
going as planned. He said
they expect to spend about
$1.1 million less than in 1996,
but are now waiting for the
provincial government to
announce their grants before
they can proceed.
A budget meeting for the
1997 figures is planned for
April 10 at 7:30 p.m. in the
Central Huron Secondary
$drop! cafeteria.
