Only few at Tuckersmith to hear council, new candidates
Only about 20 ratepayers
in Tuckersmith Township
turned out for the
ratepayers' meeting called
by the township council
Monday night, -and-ineiuded-
in this number were the
spouses of some of the
council.
John Broadfoot of RR 1,
Brucefield, was invited to
act as chairman by • Reeve
Ervin Sillery, who was ac-
claimed that day as reeve for
another two-year term.
Also,unopposed was Deputy
reeve Robert Bell. With
councitlor Robert Drum-
mond ineligible to run for
office in- the township•
because he had sold his farm
and moved•into Exeter, a
vacancy was created for a
councillor. • Five were
nominat.e`d to contest the
three treats.
Incumbents Frank
Falconer and Robert
Fotheringham will battle
William Brown of Egmond-
ville, Robin Gates of
Vanastra and Harvey
Hammond of Brucefield.
Reeve Sillery suggested
that the whole township
should support other
Vanastra recreation centre
financially and not just the
ratepayers of Vanastra. He
explained that when several
Vanastra -residents ap-
proached council several
,, years ago asking to set up a
• =recreation romptex there at"
no cost to the rest of the
township, they were given
the go-ahead.
He said it was a little
shortsighted on council's
part to let it go through at
that' -time with Vanastra
ratepayers responsible for
.the whole indebtedness
overing the cost of con-
struction . of an indoor
swimming pool which in turn
called for an addition on the
former church which was
renovated as a community
centre.
Debentures were sold to
raise the money to pay for
the cost of the church and all
the construction work.
To date none of this debt,
has been. paid off except
through whatever grants
council has been able to
secure from the governments
in way of community centre _
grants and such, because•the
recreation complex "is not a
money making project", the
reeve said.
The latest grant was a
Wintario grant for over

RICHARD LOBO
AUCTIONEER
CLINTON, ONT. 482-7898
$23,000 received this month
-by clerk Jack McLachlan,
because, the swimpting pool
was an indoor poor making it
eligible for a "roofed in pool
"grant." Thls-granttiad been
overlooked when the pool
was constructed.
Reeve Sillery said that the
centre is (low due for further
alterations. He said he had
been told by a ministry of-
ficial the centre was being
rue new in an efficient
manner.
In his address, Councillor
Frank Falconer said he
could not see any reason for
the whole debt at Vanastra to
be carried by the whole
township. (When the centre
was built council was
adamant that it was the
responsibility of Vanastra
alone and must never be a,
financial burden on the rest
of the township.)
Falconer said he felt it
was a good idea for council to
be responsibile for the
managing of it. He said the
first thing council did was to
•.appoint Diane Durnin as
acting recreation' director as
council had found the centre
-overstaffed. He said' this
year the centre would break
even- for the first .time and
the debenture debt carried
by the Vanastra ratepayers
(which they hope to pay off
gradually in their , taxes)
amounts to $119,000 as at end
of 1978 with interest of
$11,000 being paid this year.
A staff of two part-time
and several part-time
personnel is employed
A stafP'of two full-time and
several part-time personnel
is employed at the recreation
centre. He said the centre
receives 8700 monthly in rent
from the Vanastra Day care
centre which is located at the
centre, built by day care
grants from the government.
At the day care centre he
said there are three full-time
employees and two part-time
employees.
He said the operating
deficit at the day care is
partly covered by govern-
ment grant and the
remaining portidn of the
deficit is paid by the town-
ship, amounting to $1.00 per
year per person in
Tuckersmith.
"I feel Vanastra has come
a long way and with an
united effort we have done
an excellent job," he said.
Councillor Falconer
remarked on losing the
township clerks who
resigned early last year.
(Jim and Brenda McIntosh).
He said he felt they gilt
because of too many com-
plaints and too many
telephone calls. "I feel the
ratepayers of Tuckersmith
should earn a lesson from
this," h stated.
He sai the present clerk,
Jack Lachlan, earns
818,000 a year but this is no•
reason for people in
Tuckersmith to complain to.
him about everything.
On the dog problem in the
township, Falconer said
there would be no problem
"if we had the cooperation
of the ratepayers".
He was critical of those
ratepayers who do not clean
up their buildings which has
resulted in the township
haviiig to step in and do it.
Reeve Sillery spoke of the
new grader and new truck
bought by_council,--also the
purchase of the former Bank
of Montreal as the township
office at Vanastra. He spoke
of council's unsuccessful
attempt to get the county to
take back the Hensall Road
which has been in poor
condition. He' 'said the
council is paving a section at
this time.
The reeve polkaed out
that the township owns the
curling rink at Vanastra and
rents it out to the Curling
Club. He said council had an
opportunity to purchase the
old arena at Vanastra this
yearbut turned down the offer
'as she felt "Tuckersmith
could not afford_th take it on
at this time."
He represents the town-
ship on. the Clinton fire area
board where they recently
purchased new radio system
and beepers for the fire
trucks and the men. He'
explained that Tuckersmith
switched from the Brucefield
Fire Brigade.to Clinton being
on first call to Vanastra
industrial area in order to
lower the insurance rates to
the business firms at
Vanastra because Clinton
was slightly closer. He said
the fire insurance companies
have not informedeouncil as
to whethbr they -lowered the -
fire rates at this time.
Mr. Sillery said as- he -
thanked his fellow council
members for their support
during the year, "I could not
have had a better council if I
had handpicked them
myself."
Deputy reeve Robert Bell
regretted that there were not
more at the meeting but said
"It's a busy time at this time
of year". He said he had
been file drain inspector and .
said loans were down this
year to 835,200 from last
years' total of $101,000 for a
13 month period. He said
there was another $55,000 to
spend this year if any one
wanted a tile drain loan.
Bell said building permits
this year amounted to
81,577,750, up substantially
over the $1,325,000 used for
consruction last year. .
Councillor Robert'
Fotheringham said he had
found his first two years on
council a real challenge but
interesting and rewarding.
He spoke of the benefits of
the township having hired a.
building inspector, Henry
VanWieren of Hensall.
He said he I~epresented the
- township of the Seaforth fire
-= ar-ea-beard-He said oew-two-
way radio set had been
bought for the trucks and the
base and this gave better
communication system
between Clinton, and Mit-
chell and themselves. He
said ,the firemen had been
given beepers so that they
car. all be signalled in case of
fires or other emergencies.
Councillor Robert
Drummond reported -on
Hensall fire area board
which • had completed the
construction of a new firehall
for approximately $80,000•
which will be officially
opened soon. He said the
firemen had secured the old
fire truck andwerehaving it
restored as an antique.
Drummond spoke of
' council paving a two-mile
strip of Hensall, road this
year and said he hoped the
remaining section would be
gradually paved as money -
available.
Robin Gates of Vanastra
-said he had been involved in
several organlztion.e which
to 'him if successful. He gave
several goals he had if
elected: . •.•
1. Greater harmony - and
understanding between rural
and urban. areas of
Tuckersmith township.
1• Ug -j mplementa tion of a
recreation board involving
all of Tuckersmith township.
3. A greater emphasis on
industrial .planning in
township. •
• 4.•A' continued - emphasis -
on budget and spending
controls.
:Through urban and rural
background. I feel I can
accomplish this if elected,"
he concluded.
Harvey Hammond of
Brucefield, who owns
property and works at•
Vanastra, said he has both
__ruraLand urban training to
assist him in - making
decisions. He said he had no
great. axe to grind but
thought no council should be
unchallenged.
Michael Connolly, RR 3
Kippen, acclaimed as
representative of the
township and Seaforth for
• the Huron -Perth County
Roman Catholic • Separate
School Board spoke briefly
on his work on the board and
offered to answer •any
questions. He spoke;_of the

ther out of and..
Dorothy Williams,
tepresenting the township
and Clinton on the Huron
County board of education
•said as a retired teacher she
was busier now than ever as
a school board member
attending meetings and
special events. As a member
of the early school leaving
committee she was proud of
the success her committee
had ip encouraging young
people to continue in school.
She spoke of a major
problem facing the Scfiool
board as the result of the
government cutting down on
capital funding for technical
classes when new equipment.
is' needed to replace that
bought when classes first
started.
She said night• school
people use this equipment
which comes out of the day
school budget which also
causes a proplem. She said
about half the students are
enrolled in technical classes
which she finds good for -the
students. "We have come to
the stage of deciding if we
carry on these•courses, and
if we do. how do'we finance
them? she -said. "If we junk
them, what do we do with the
students?" " . •
She said a meeting to
discuss the problem is
planned.
Cleave Coombs who
represents the township on
the Seaforth Community
Hospital board spoke briefly
saying that the hospital was
being run very well in spite
of the money cut-backs,-.'WWe
don't get grants es we used
to.'As we get• money we are
buying some new equipment.
We have a good staff of
doctors "
The new candidates
nominated for the three
council seats were invited to
speak. William Brown Sr. of
Egmondville spoke first,
saying he would do his' best
to represent all areas of the
township.
