A physical disability shouldn't come between a child and their individual potential. he said. The campaign officially got underway March I with a massive mail out campaign in the area. He said this years overall fundraising goal for the province is $15.4 million. "Money donated locally comes back into the commu- nity to he used locally." Kale said this ensures that children with physical dis- abilities and their families in the area continue to receive support for'much needed equipment and services.

(Fitton photo) Library base budget By Blake Patterson Signal -Star Staff The county's library system was given a shot in its base budget March 5 when Huron County Council agreed to keep $45,822 in the cash- strapped organization's bud- get. The codncil approved a recommendation from the Administration, Finance and Personnel Committee meeting on Feb. 19. Although the question of giving the money to- the library was not debated at County Council, the matter did raise several questions at the Feb. 19 meeting. Clinton Reeve Carol Mitchell, the chair of the Health and Seniors Committee, said her commit- tee objects to giving more money to the libraries. She said the county library should revisit its budget, and if necessary, close some of its 17 branches. H9wck Township Reeve Norm Fairies, the chair of the Social and Cultural Services Committee, said closing libraries will not case the financial crunch. "You'd have to close a lot of libraries to make up that $45,000," he said. He said it's fine to say the libraries should find the money within their existing budget, but the reality is, most of their budget is tied up in staff wages, pay equity pay- outs and rent. He said the hours at the Iihraries could he further reduced, but at some point, "We have to ask our- selves if we are in the library business or whatr Municipal Act muscle In 1996, County Council recommended six smaller. underused branches be closed. Municipal councils. however. disagreed with the recommen- dation and five of the small branches remained open. Libraries in Auburn. Blucvalc, Centralia. Cranhrook. Gorric and Walton were targeted for closure as a way to address a 40 per cent cut in provincial grants over the next two years. Last year. in Tight of the fact the libraries remained open. the County agreed to put $45,822 into the library cof- fers to help them until the county's budget was reworked to account for provincial downloading. Since then, the Iihrarics have reduced staff. increased fundraising efforts, and adjusted hours, but are still struggling to maintain ser- vices across the county. At the Administration. Finance and Personnel Committee meeting. County Librarian Beth Ross outlined the county library's planned 1998 budget, and said the $45.822 is "absolutely essen- tial" if current services are to be maintained. She said the Iihrarics have already been cut back to the hone and have only remained viable --through the grace of technology. "It (technology) saved our bacon in trying to maintain services with reduced staff.- she said. Mitchell said her committee was "quite blunt" they wanted the county library to "mucus" im certain areas. close some branches and make others big- ger and stronger. Mitchell said keeping the struggling libraries open is just "hurting" the overall operation. Rather than adding money to the budget as life support to dying Iihraries. the weak Iihraries should he put out of their misery. Mitchell said "handaids" will not stop the "downward spiral" of financial strife and it's time to "ease up. start closing and make a strong operation." Amalgamation of some of the libraries, said Mitchell, would he a natural "first step" on the road to county restruc- turing. - Warden Jack Coleman of Stanley Township didn't Tike thc idea of closing libraries. He said closing a small library in Bayfield, for example, will not intake the Clinton Iihrary an. :l :.'nicer. Rather, said Coleman. the residents in the community without a Iihrary will just do without. That -point, said Fairies, lies at the heart of the matter. Hc said if small libraries arc closed to help support larger Iihrarics. all it will do is cut tax payers off from a service they are still obligated to sup- port. • Reeve Bill Carnochan of Tuckcrsmith-Township asked Ross if reduced hours or reduced staff would help aIle- viate the money situation. Ross said the bigger Iihraries are already under staffed and thc smaller opera- tions can't he cut any more without closing.thc libraries. As for reducing service hours. Ross said such a move would only increase the work- load of an already overworked staff. She said if a Iihrary were to close on Wednesdays. for example. people who would normally come to the Iihrary Wednesday will change habits and come Thursday -- com-- pressing the workload of staff who have just had. their hours cut. Fairies said it •is important to remember the Iihrarics are a service provided by and for • the tax payers of the county, and as such. their worth can- not he equated to a balance sheet of revenues and expens- es.

Keeping the dust down At its March meeting, McKillop Council authorized its road superintendent to invite quotes for 230 imperial flake tons of calcium chlo- ride, to help keep thc dust down in the township. Council also invited tenders for 24,000 imperial tons of gravel for road maintenance. McKillop has consented to thc severance of 5,312 square metres of land owned by Dolma Rapicn, on Conc. 10. part Lot 1, "for commercial purposes related to agricul- ture." Council approved its por- tion of both the Scaforth and District Community Centres and thc Blyth Firc Department budgets, the lat- ter being $6,000. A tender was awarded for the Dennis Municipal Drain. it went to KMN Farm Drainagc, for S62,578.95. A tile drainage loan appli- cation for $11,200 was received, but thc township is holding it for the time being because it hasn.'t received confirmation the province is continuing this program.
