Good run for salmon This year we have enjoyed a better than average run of chinook salmon in the Bayfield, Maitland and Lucknow (9 Mile) Rivers. As a result of this, there has also been a greater than usual number of poachers ex- ploiting this resource by snagging or catching the fish with a net. Under the Ontario Fishery Regula- tions it is an offence to take these fish in any manner other than by "angl- ing." A fish must be caught in the mouth to be "angled." Any "foul hooked" fish must be immediately returned to the Water. In Goderich Provincial Court last week, 16 convictions for salmon poaching were registered resulting in $3,100.00 in fines being levied. As well, most offenders had their equipment forfeited to the crown. A number of these investigations that led to the convictions were as a result of information received from the public. This type of information is invaluable to the Conservation Officer in his efforts to protect the resource for the legitimate user. These fish are spawning at this time of year so they are particularly vulnerable to poaching. We request your co-operation in assisting us to control this problem. If you see or suspect poaching activity, please call your Ministry of Natural Resources office at 357-3131 or 1-800-265-3003 if calling long distance from within the 519 area code. Over 80 club Mrs. Ruth Taylor formerly of Clin- ton and now at the Bluewater Rest Home will be 82 on November 1, 1985. Gerald Shantz and Don Weigand, and outgoing councillor John Elder each had a chance to make a statement. Wilder, who was elected chairman, and over -rode objections by Paul Klopp by pointing out this was not a candidates' but a ratepayers' meeting, let Tony Bedard lead off. The present deputy reeve said there was no ill feeling and no issues bet- ween himself and Reeve Wilder, but after 13 years on council he felt the time had come to move up, and take this opportunity to offer to serve as reeve. Bedard mentioned the 10 miles of tar and chip roads and the new ball diamond "which has not cost ratepayers a cent" as ac- complishments during council's cur- rent term, and noted that future priorities are keeping a hydro line out of the township, and bringing in a government- assisted water system along Highway 21. , Deichert said he had never been ac- claimed to office before, and "if you run, you know the people want you if you get in." - Mike Masse said past councils had done a fine job, the township was growing, and he would like to be part of council and help ratepayers. Gerald Shantz, who served as coun- cillor previously, told the audience he know from past experience of the time required and sacrifice involved. He promised that, if elected, "coun- cil comes first". Shantz said his two years on council had been a learning time, and would enable him to make knowledgeable decisions. Don Weigand said he was making his first try at municipal politics partly because he had been approach- ed and asked to run to bring represen- tation to "our end of the township" in the Dashwood area. Keys looked back on the present term as "three good years", reiterating the accomplishments mentioned by Bedard. Keys offered that municipal drains were the source of manyy problppis„anti_said Ways=to alleviate some of the excessive costs should be examined. Keys said future councils will have to deal with Exeter's challenge to Hay's official plan, and the recreation deficits. He predicted that some type of user pay plan would have to be put into effect, as "taxpayers can't be ex- pected to totally support the deficit". Speaking last, Wilder said most points had been covered. He said that though no agreement has been sign- ed, Stephen and Hay are negotiating with Dashwood to take over the fire department. The tanker truck has to be replaced. A new tanker truck will also be needed soon for the Zurich and area fire board. Wilder said the tar and chip pro- gram of five miles a year, though ex- pensive, should be carried on. The payback time is five years, with serv- ings on grading, gravel and chloride. Wilder expressed the hope the dif- ferences with Exeter over the Huron Farm subdivision can be solved without again going before the OMB. When questions were requested, Paul Klopp brought up the matter of remuneration paid to the reeve for signing cheques. He objected to the $25 paid each time (amounting to $885 in 1984), and wondered why Wilder couldn't sign the cheques at a regular council meeting while "listening to others talk". Wilder said he made three trips monthly, once for accounts and twice for payroll. He said he often signed $100,000 worth of cheques at a time, and went over each account careful- ly. Cheques can not be prepared ahead of time, as they must first be approved by council. Wilder doubted the rightness or the legality of giving the clerk sole authority to issue cheques, but pro- mised to check with the OMB. Ray Hartman interjected to say he could see council getting slack if all cheques were approved and signed by the clerk. He thought that would be a move in the wrong direction. . In a discussion about financing a water system, Wilder promised the whole matter would be dropped if no financial help was received from the province, but in the meantime coun- cil was carrying out the mandate it had been given in a referendum by pursuing every avenue to bring de- cent drinking water to the area. Matthew Denomme complained about the condition of his road. Rood superintendent Ross Fisher assured hint everything possible was being done, but the roads department operated on a priority basis. In response to a request from George Firlotte for a concrete pad at the water's edge where the public comes to launch little boats at St. Joseph, Fisher said one was built three years ago, and the action of the waves broke it up,, John Elder said since "reaccep- ting" a position with Huron Tractor he had difficulty attending day meetings and conventions. He had en- joyed his three years on courcil, and said "maybe if corn goes to $4 a bushel, I'll be back."
