Time to It is sometimes hard not to get involved with council meetings. Twice during the Zurich council meeting Thursday I was ready to jump in with both feet. The first, I was ready to scream with rage; the second, cheer with joy at council's initiative. I don't think either issue is dead, so my anguish and elation may be premature. The first item was a letter from the NDP reminding council that they could become part of an ad-hoc plebiscite on nuclear take the .initiative by municipality) filed a tion, "like those ones we get similar resolution saying the from all over Ontario and plebiscite was a job for higher throw in the garbage." levels of government.

(Also of interest was yet another local council's filing of a resolution to halt nuclear power development. One councillor said he 'couldn't support the resolution. The councillor had just returned from an Ontario Hydro P -R tour of the Bruce nuclear station. Perhaps if the councillor had taken a tour of a nuclear waste dump- site, or if a site were to be located in the municipality, the same council would have more to say on the issue.) The second item was an at- tempt by councillor Bob Fisher to start a resolution from Zurich calling for all governments to observe the six percent inflation rate. Fisher leveled stern criticism against both the county and the school boards for causing increases to Zurich's mill rates. The debate kind of died after a few moments but perhaps a resolution will be drafted. Both cases are examples of what' appears to be an in- feriority complex built-up in small municipalities. Fisher noted it himself when he said the topic should be drafted such as a resolu- government is probably the level most responsive and in - touch with the voters. Rather than thinking no one will listen to the little guy or that upper levels of govern- ment should do the job, when an important resolution comes along it should be sup • - ported or refuted, not simply filed away. We can see by example the leadership the federal govern- ment gives. It seems like everyone but you and me got a 12 percent (plus) pay raise, then they clamp on six percent guidelines. The genie has been out of the bottle for years and is long gone while MacEachen is still fumbling with the cork. with A local school board, t the spectre of requisition in- creases looming over arrea municipalities, cancelled its staff banquet, ostensibly to cut back in its expenses While the aft is laudable, I can't help feeling that it was a sacrificial goat --a move- ment to dump a rather trivial item to illustrate the group's restraint. I believe we are way beyond the time for gestures; we are beyond the time for standing up to be counted. It's time for action. Fisher proposes resolution Demands county and school boards stick to 6% Zurich should start the ballrolling by demanding county government and the school boards keep their budgets within the six percent infla- tion guidelines, according to councillor Bob Fisher. Fisher noted at council's July meeting, Thursday, that the village had tried to keep taxes down this year, but that mill rate increases were due to increased county and school board requisitions. If no one says anything, Fisher pointed out, the budgets will continue increas- ing at a rate of 13 to 14 percent. He said that every municipality in Huron Coun- ty should send a letter tothe county and the school boards saying the municipality will pay no more than a six percent increase in the requisiton. Leroy Thiel said the coun- ty and school boards do not have to answer to anyone and if faced by a resolution would simply say they have the authority to increase their budgets. Thiel suggested a meeting of conerned municipalities could be held, without representation from the county. Clerk Sharon Baker noted the village had representation on county council and the school board. She asked what municipalities, the school boards and county council. Fisher said the resolution would be"like those ones we get from all over Ontario, that we throw in the garbage." Councillor Isidore Laporte agreed saying such a resolu- tion would wake up a few peo- ple during an election year. Fisher referred to an ex- isting letter to the province and was asked if there were any swear words in it. "Damn, right!" Fisher said."(Thelettergoes) right to the Ontario government." would then happen if either of The clerk suggested Fisher the bodies needed an in- draft the resolution. crease, over six percent for a The village will be looking major project. for an estimate of the casts to Fisher suggested the idea destroyestroy an old bern owned by be set up as a resolutionand Crich Holdings. circulated to all Huron A letter sent to the owners asked them to clean up the barn or the structure would be removed by the village and work charged to the owners. Fisher urged council to "Do what we said we were going to do", and have the barn torn down. The clerk said that costs for the demolition should be paid for by the village and if necessary, added to the owners taxes for collection. The barn has been deemed an eyesore and a hazard.
