Back township over hydro Exeter council this week endorsed a resolution from the Township of Georgian Bay opposing the planned development of two or more hydro generating stations on the Musquash River and Go Home Lake. A private member's bill has been introduced in the Legislature to allow Orillia Water, Light and Power Corp. to build the stations for the sole use of the residents of Orillia and the Township of Georgian Bay contends the unmanned stations would seriously affect their entire economy, which is tourism and particularly the cottage based phase of that industry. They contend the hydro stations will provide no benefit for the citizens of Ontario as a whole and suggest that it would be "a grave moral wrong to allow Area youth employed The Ontario Youth Secretariat'' has made it possible for the Experience '81 Program to operate again this summer. Working in conjunction with the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority, this program is designed to give young people an opportunity to work and learn. The Experience '81 labourers will 'be attending to local Conservation maintenance as well as projects which may include stream -bank stabilization, erosion control, park beautification and ar- borculture application. This years' program will be co-ordinated by senior supervisor, Bridget Ryan. Jo-anne Larkin and Janice Larkin will be assisting in the co-ordination of recreational activities for campers in the Parkhill Conservation Area, Betty Merkely will he working at Rock Glen Conservation Area doing park maintenance. The Parkhill work crew, will consist of foreperson Lori O'Brien, as well as Regina Regier, Jean Pavek- je, Rob Scafe and Heather Riddell. The Exeter work crew will be made up of foreperson Doug Raymond along with Mike Taylor, Barb McCurdy, Brenda Pinder, Bruce Shaw and Pam Carnochan. 1 this private bill to pass." In soliciting support from other municipalities, the Muskoka area township suggested that the govern- ment would be violating its own stated policy on plan- ning by permitting one municipality to impose a distasteful and unwanted imposition on another and would in effect, open the door to all municipalities to locate undesirable and unwanted installations within the boundaries of another; such things as waste disposal sites, radio -active waste sites, aggregate extraction locations, etc. The passing of the bill would also automatically commit Georgian Bay Township to a staggering expenditure of $100,000 to $150,000 in an Environmental Assessment Board hearing and suggest that if the hill is passed, it must he with the firm understanding that it (the provincial government) will be prepared to pay the cost of the township providing an adequate defence or it must consider the results of any en- vironmental assessment act hearing to be meaningless. The proposed project report was submitted to all departments of the govern- ment and was rejected by five of those departments as being unsatisfactory. "We feel the government has an obligation to accept the recommendations of its staff or, if it cannot trust their advice, to replace them with people whom they and the citizens of the province, can rely upon for reliable advice. "We anticipate that the Orillia Water, Light and Power Corp. will contend that the government has also expressed a policy that they are in favour of small hydro development," the resolution continued. "No doubt the government is also infavour of motherhood but we question if it would condone rape to achieve it." Set method for vacancy A formal method of filling vacancies on council or town committees was approved by Exeter council. Monday. They accepted the recommendations contained in a report by an ad hoc com- mittee consisting of Coun- cillors Gaylan Josephson and Bill Mickle. When a vacancy occurs on council. the runner-up in order of finish in the election will be asked to fill the seat. Failing success with that method. an ad hoc com- mittee will be appointed to seek qualified persons through advertising the posi- tion. If that method also proves unsuccessful. an election would be called ,to fill the vacancy. It concluded by suggesting that lack of support and to response the e r equest may he interpreted by the government as at least passive support to the Orillia effort and added that support from other municipalities would in effect be protecting their own rights to autonomy in directing the affairs af- fecting the progress and development of their municipality. When was the last time you attended a meeting of the Huron County Board of Education, or do you even know when they are held? Huron County's Citizens Action Group for Education (CAGE) reminds everyone that the board of education meet on the first Thursday of each month, at 2 p.m. in their Clinton board offices. The meetings are open to the public and a 15 minute question period is held for the benefit of the public. At a recent executive meeting CAGE members noted that their meeting with the board of education executive had been suc- cessful, and would help to establish better com- munication with the public. CAGE is now making plans for their second public meeting which will be held later in the month. They are also setting up an in- formation booth at the Clinton Spring Fair on June 5 and 6. Memberships will be available and information regarding the Secondary Education Review Project (SERP) will be given out. Commissioned by the ministry education a little 1st Y of over a year ago, SERP allows the general public to comment on the education system. The final deadline for the survey is June 30, 1981 and all remarks, comments and suggestions must be sent to the ministry by that time. Copies of SERP are available to all high school students and their parents.

Deputy -Reeve Lionel Wilder suggested the work be allowed to start, subject to the engineers approval. Reeve Lloyd Mousseau said it would be better for council to meet with a representative of B.M. Ross to check over the proposed plans. The water system is designed to meet the exten- sion of the water pipeline from Grand Bend, and the developers agreed to make other arrangements for water, if the pipeline is not extended. Victor Brisson and George Ducharme represented a planned subdivision near St. Joseph. With the agreement of the township, Brisson explained, subdivision lots would be sold and money put into a trust fund to cover the costs of development. The buyers contract would state that nothing could be built until the services were put in. If the trust fund goal is not reached, people get their money back. • Brisson suggested about a two year contract. The men noted the developers have no money to pay for the development, but have already invested much time and money in the plan- ning. Mousseau said the townshipwouldlike tosee the project go ahead and suggested lawyers for both parties examine the basis for any agreement between the township and developers. In other business: The council passed a tile drainage debenture for $86,- 900. Under the Ministry of Agriculture and Food regulations, the township can pass a debenture for the first half of the year (up till August 1) of half the alloca- tion received last year. The ministry also recommends municipalities send out tile drain loans at 50 percent of the installation cost. Up to 75 percent is now allowed. Hay has adopted a 65 percent level. Council decided it could not make a recommendation on a request to clear about three acres of treed land by Earl H. Becker, lot 5, con- cession 17. Becker wants to clear the bush to remove trees in the centre of a field and straighten lines of the fields 14 percent for more efficient farming. The township will have county tree inspectors check the area. The council agreed not to take further legal action, at this time, against Donald Regier. Regier runs a salvage yard on highway 84 east of Zurich. He had been given until the first of June to build fences and clean up his yards. Councillors were satisfied Regier had made an effort to clean up the operation. Under the township's salvage yard bylaws, the salvage is to be concealed by fences around the area. The province grants operating licences to salvage yards. subject to the recommendations of the township. It was suggested the township could hold up the licencing next year if the lot was not cleaned up further. Hay will not support a resolution from Wingham suggesting another member of council be sent to repre- sent the municipality at county council. if the designated representative is unable to attend. Mousseau said if a person misses three meetings they should be off the council. Councillors agreed that representation was the problem of the individual municipalities. to elect someone who would be attending the meetings. Have you had your Cookie of the Week? 4 GOING FISHING? Bed program Continued from front page gave a presentation about the Exeter workshop and future plans. The committee offered its support in his requests to government agencies for assistance to expand the operations. The proposed future development will mean further opportunities to handicapped people, single parents (mothers) and unskilled youth. The committee also recommended to council that a delegate committee of three people -- one being the mayor and or his designate, plus two from the industrial board - be established. This committee would be available to meet the board of directors of a company considering re -locating or expanding in Exeter.
