GB reeve has conflict in final regular session The last council meeting of the cur- rent term was' held on Monday, with thetwo new members, Barb Southcott and Marsha Lemon. 'pre sent as observers. Mary Lappan, property owner. ap- proached council to question why her land severance application was turn- ed down. Reeve Bob Sharen and Councillor Dennis Snider declared a conflict of interest with respect to the matter and left the room. Lappan wished to divide her pro- perty into two.40' by 41' lots, instead of the one piece of land. Deputy -reeve Harold Green told Lappan that it was •unlawful'to divide her property into two lots that size. She stated that when she purchased the property three years ago, it was two separate lots. Councillor Bruce Woodley told her that when a second piece of pro- perty is bought adjacent to another, it is deemed as one when registered in the same name. "Why should I be the one to suffer when f was misinformed?" asked. Lappan. She said she would have registered her two lots in different names if this problem had been foreseen. Council informed her to see her lawyer for a settlement, as -she was apparently not properly advised at the time of the purchase. Her proper- ty is located on Warwidlt St. near Oak Sl. The second delegation, Jack and Shirley Hebden. Queen St. set up a diagram for council to review their Wondergrove Trailer Park plans. Originally.

Now council required 1. a ten -foot planting strip, 2. the closing of Kitchener Ave. and 3. a deeming by-law. Hebden told council that already 29 sites have been leased. The previous owners, Jean and Bob Simpson, set a precedence; and'tlebden felt that this was an unusual burden to amend these extra problems. He said with $10.000.00 already tied up, he did not need the extra expense and was not prepared to put some $3,000.00 out right now. All requirements have been met, it's clean, tidy and well -lit, with many more trees being,planted over the sa- tire area. The couple explained to council that the high revenue to the village each year from the trailer park would be substantial. He asked council to revert to their original let- ter. After all this has been a trailer park for over -30 years, why all the changes now? Sharen explained that council had to do what was hest for the municipality: and that county plan- ner, Janet Smolders, had thought that Kitchener Ave. was closed at the time of the original site plan agreement. Council agreed to send a follow-up let- ter to Hobden, giving him time to pay the necessary fees for the road closing. In correspondence, council agreed to send three representatives to the Chamber of Commerce's annual meeting this Saturday, at Ifotel Main Street. Human Rights Day was declared f'r December 111. It was moved that the village -for'eman. Jack Stanlake and Coun- cillor Snider attend a one -day seminar at the •University of York. The topic will be on effective master planning for waste management. Sharen gave an extensive report on constructive ways to expand the life of the waste site. Ile demonstrated with samples for all to view the com- pact results of waste reduction. School children as well as adults could be educated in recycling programs. There will be a special meeting on Thursday. November 21 at 7:39 p.m. The first regular meeting of new council begins at :3 p.m. on December 2 lInaugural meetin►. and a public meeting will be held on Wednesday December 4 at 7:30, concerning road widening and site plan control.

Marie gets another year November 20, 1985 Page 17A SehooI given reprieve Ecole Ste. 'Marie has, received a one-year reprieve. The Huron -Perth Roman Catholic separate school board announced at its Monday meeting that the school near St. Josephs won't officially close its doors until June of 1987. The school Stanley votes against strike Stanley couRcil_endorsed a.resolu- tion received from the Town of Durham which proposes to amend the School Boards and Teachers Collec- tive Negotiations Act. By doing this. teachers will not be permitted to strike, walk out or be locked out by the boards. The letter from Durham was pro- mpted by the strike in Wellington and Grey counties. During their October 21 meeting, Durham council passed a resolution requesting the Province of Ontario to declare teachers provide an essential service and should be prohibited from striking or walking out and school boards should not be permitted to lock them out. In the event that contract disputes cannot be resolved, binding arbitration should be provided. The education of "1,000 young peo- ple is being seriously disrupted," the letter read, "The education of children is seriously jeopardized by lengthy teachers' strikes," noted the resolu- tion. "Certain classes of workers are considered to provide essential ser- vices and are not permitted to strike, but are subject to binding arbitration." A copy of the endorsement is to be sent to the Premier of Ontario, the Ministry of Education, the Associa- tion of Municipalities of Ontario and Jack' Riddell, MPP for Huron - Middlesex. Council received a letter from On- tario requesting the up -dating of street lights in Kippen and Brucefield. According to township Clerk - Treasurer Mel Graham, there are 12 lights ir#tippen and 16 in Brucefield. The cost would be approximately $500 per light. Council tabled the issue until the new council which takes over on December 3. Two bylaws for tile drainage loans were passed during councils November meeting. One loan is for $5,70Q and the second is for $5,000. had been slated for -closure in June on 1986. School board chairman Ron Marcy said the provincial education ministry has indicated it would only allow por- tables at St. Boniface in Zurich for the 1986-87 school year. The students from Ecole Ste. Marie would have been transferred to the Zurich school star- ting next school year. The board had planned an addition at the school which included several classrooms. The trustees agreed that they didn't want the s,_ judents in -per-. -table classrooms. Marcy also said there wouldn't be enough washrooms at St. Boniface to accommodate the increased number of students. "The ministry won't give money this year. We've been led to believe that if we wait a year, we'll get the money then," said Marcy. "They the ministry) better come through this time," added the chairman. He did say that the trustee for the area, Dave Durand, and Jack Lane, the superintendent for business and finance, met with the parents and students about the change. "They aren't too keen," admitted Marcy. However, he said thew would rather wait for the money than put portables in place. There are p'ese`ntly 35 students in grades 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 at the school. Kindergarten. grade 1, 7 and 8 students in the area already go to St. Boniface. Ecole Ste. Marie will continue to be twinned with the Zurich school during the 1986-87 school year. Sl. Boniface principal Gary Birmingham is in charge of both schools. • Power requirement is among questions Does Ontario Hydro really need to get electrical power out of the Bruce Nuclear Power Development north of Kincardine? At least two groups don't•think so and intend to prove that over the course of the hydro hearings which got underway in Guelph last week. The question of need will be em- phasized by Energy Probe, a Toronto- based research foundation, and the Foodland Hydro committee made up of Bruce, Huron and Middlesex farmers. The hearings, being heard by a joint board of Ontario Municipal Board and the Environmental Assessment Board representatives. got off to a slow start on Wednesday. They were bogged down in procedural wrangl- ings because one group wanted the hearing adjourned until the new year. The board, under the chairmanship of Robert Eisen, dismissed that request. However, on Thursday, the hearing was adjourned early while Ontario Hydro lawyer Bruce Campbell sought more information on a proposed alter- native route. This was to be presented by the Ontari:, Institute of Agrologists. On the last day of the hearings of the first week, Mr. Campbell said the provincial utility isn't prepared 'to have the route, proposed_ by, the agrologists, considered by the joint board. He also pointed out that hydro doesn't want the board to consider the route commonly known as modified M3. It was in July of 1984 when the On- tario divisional court quashed the previous board's approval of the 401 route. It did so atter several municipalities along the Highway, in- cluding Oxford County, said there had been inadequate notice of the 1982 hearings in Stratford. However, Mr. Campbell cautioned the lawyers and representatives of those Highway 401 municipalities that because ' M3 has been termed technically deficient. doesn't mean a transmission line route won't be built in the area. Mr. Campbell said the whole Southwestern Ontario study area is at risk. Hydro wants a transmission line to move bulk electricity from BNPD through Huron County to London. From there, the line would go to the Nanticoke generating station on Lake Erie: This line, referred to as M7, is part -of a recommended $432 million system plan: The hearing continues this week and is expected to run at least six jnonths.

Ross & Associates, Goderich, reported to Tuckersmith Township council on his survey of the water system in Egmondville and what is needed to update the system. The township has applied for and received approval of an Ontario Neighbourhood Improvement Pro-• gram grant for $150.000, the township must put up a similar amount for a total of $300.000 to be spent in Egmondville. Of this a minimum of 20 percent must be spent on soft ser- vices such as recreation, including parks if desired, and the balance on hard services such as water systems, storm sewers, roads, street lights, or sidewalks. • - A public meeting is being set up to hold a discussion on the program in The readers write Letter to the Editor: For forty years promises have been wade and kept.
