We travel down a wiadirtg road A road without an end And they who seem so far away Are only round the bend.,5' Loved by your son Philip.

BAKER — In loving memory of David Baker, who passed away February 3,1960. You are always in our mind, No matter what we do, All the time within our hearts, There are thoughts of you.

Oh, what we would give if we could say Hello Dad, in the same old way, To hear your voice, to see your smile To sit with you and talk awhilt Some may forget, now that you are gone, But we will remember, no matter how long.

Fred and June, Earl and Marilyn, Elsie and LeRoy Keyes and grandchildren. Computers in principle Despite the serious reservations of Reeve Bill Mickle, Exeter council agreed this week to approve in prin- ciple a project by the Ontario Police Commission to computerize small town police forces. Mickle, who chaired Monday's meeting due to the late arrival of the Mayor, said the system being touted at a cost of up to $30,000 for hardware must be a "cadillac system". He feared that any type of commit- ment on council's part could lead to them being assessed some of the ex- ploration costs if the project does not proceed. Mickle also noted that the police department may not be the top priori- ty for computerization, suggesting that he would want to see one in the town office first. However, other members noted council would be under no obligation by supporting the proposal in princi- ple and Peter Snell suggested some money should be set aside in the budget for that purpose. In another computer matter, coun- cil authorized the attendance of Clerk Liz Bell at a micro computer workshop in Richmond Hill this April at a cost of $350. The workshop will proivide some insight into hardware and software equipment available for municipal users and the executive committee said the clerk's attendance should help in the needs study to be under- taken regarding computers by the committee this year". NO AGENT YET The January 15 meeting of the Huronia Branch of the Ontario Humane Society was held at Catherine McNights, Clinton. An agent has still not been found to handle any abuse complaints for the area. Suggestions were made to start a filing system of up-to-date members of the Huronia Branch so notices could be sent nut each month to members that are due. The notices will also have a place to check if they would be willing to volunteer to help out occasionally if needed. The Gund Bear was won by Van Riesen of East St., Clinton, The December 21 draw was made by Mayor Balfour. An extra meeting is scheduled for January 30 to discuss plans to pro- • Times-Advocoto, January 29, 1986 Page 9A Wise seeks better deal for farmers Taking what it has learned from previous negotiations, federal agriculture minister John Wise wants a "better deal" for Canadian agriculture. "We want better access to export markets, better controls on export subsidies and contractural rules that apply equally and fairly to all coun- tries," he said. The federal minister Was the guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Huron Cattlemen's Association. He admitted that the United States did better in negotiations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), than did Canada. The European Economic Council (EEC) is allowed to import up to $23 million worth of goods to Canada, but only 811 million to the United States. "We learned from our experience," said the MP from Elgin County. He was more optimistic abut those GATT talks in his speech. "At the end of our (GATT) negotia- tions, we had succeeded in preventing costly retaliatory action by the EEC against a wide range of agricultural exports. And, at the same time, we had negotiated a new EEC beef im- port level for 1985- just over 10,000 ton- nes. That's less than half of the 1984 level. And it's nowhere even remote- ly near the 30,000 to 40,000 tonnes I heard predicted in some quarters," he said. The federal agriculture minister was questioned on free trade negotia- tions with United States. Mr. Wise said all that Canade has done is send a message to Washington indicating the government is interested in bilateral trade negotiations. "That's where we are," he stated. Again, he stressed that the trade deal has to be a good one for Canada. "We want a good deal, a square deal, a better deal for agriculture or there ain't going to be a deal," said Wise. He was verbally attacked by one spectator for not taking stronger ac- tion against American states that closed their borders last year to Cana- dian pork. "These is a misunderstanding of what we can do," commented Wise. He said the states that closed their borders have to answer to the federal government in Washington, not Ottawa. Mso on trade negotiations with the U.S., Wise said a 40 member advisory committee has been appointed, with the members representing a cross- section of Canada. He couldn't reveal names, but noted that agriculture is expected to have the largest sub- committee. In his speech to the 200 cattlemen gathered in Clinton, Wise also com- mented on tripartite stabilization which he noted the Huron group ask- ed for last September. "The day I signed the agreements with Ontario's agriculture minister, Jack Riddell, was the day that I delivered on the resolution you sent to me last September," he said. Ontario was the first to sign, then came Prince Edward Island, then Alberta. He expects Saskatchewan and Manitoba will join shortly. "With these arrangements signed, participating provinces will represent the production of more than 60 per cent of Canada's hogs, 75 per cent of all beef cattle, and about 70 per cent of Canadian lambs," he said. Wise noted that after almost 13 years of "frustration and failed negotiations among farmers and governments" the federal govern- ment put the necessary legislation in place. "It took 14 years to bring every pro- vince into the crop insurance scheme, and I don't expect tripartite stabiliza- tion to attract full participation over- night," he reminded the farmers. Tuckersmith will ban snowmobilers Tuckersmith is planning to get tough on all snowmobile drivers in the hamlets in the township because of the few who roar around on their machines at any hour of the day or night. Council has already given first and second reading to a bylaw prohibiting snowmobiles being driven in urban areas on any roadway or sidewalk or within any park. Third and final reading will be given at the next meeting on January 28. A resolution was passed that a bylaw be prepared establishing the connection charge to Egmondville water system at $1,000 from $600 and the annual consumption charge be raised from $50 to $75 per year, effec- tive July 1, 1986, Judy Miller of Vanastra has been hired to sell the municipal dog tags at the rate of $3 per tag. She was one of four applicants for the position. Clerk -treasurer Jack McLachlan has been reappointed as the ad- ministrator at the Vanastra Recrea- tion Centre for another year. Judy Miller, a teacher at the special day care centre at Vanastra, is to be given a 17 -week maternity leave, also Janice Andrews, secretary at the Tuckersmith municipal office, has been granted maternity leave. Council accepted the 1986 proposed budget for the special day centre at Vanastra for $66,100 for 11 months and 13 children, compared to last year's budget of $50,150 for 10 months and 10 children. The special day care centre is supported 100 percent -- 87 percent by the provincial ministry of com- munity and social services and the Goderich and District Association for the Mentally Retarded pays the re- maining 13 percent, and this budget will be presented to these for approval. The 1986 budget for the daycare centre at Vanastra was accepted by council for $102,650. Of this, Tuckersmith township will pay $6,855 and the remainder by other municipalities from which children attend the centre, and the Ontario ministry of community and social ser- vices. Last year it cost Tuckersmith $6,200 and the budget was $89,850. The rates at the day care centre were increased ten percent for 1986. A late penalty charge of $1.00 will be levied for each five minutes a parent is late after 5:30 p.m. to pick up a child. As well for outstanding ac- counts over 30 days at the day care centre the township will charge its current interest rate. Council will establish the policy that children attending from participating municipalities in the operating deficit of the day care centre will be given priority over children from non- participating municipalities. Expert says Hydro could reduce needs If Ontario Hydro practises energy efficiency there's no need for the $432 million transmission line it proposes to build out of Bruce Nuclear Power Development BNPD). The Foodland Hydro committee, a group of about 1200 landowners from Southwestern Ontario and Energy probe of Toronto want to prove the proposal to get power out of BNPD isn't necessary. "We want to question whether there is a need to build," said Foodland Hydro representative Tony McQuail of RR 1, Lucknow. The joint hearings board, chaired by R. B. Eisen, is listening to evidence on Ontario Hydro's proposal to con- struct transmission lines from Bruce to Essa (near Barrie), from Bruce to London through Huron County and from London to the Nanticoke generating station on Lake Erie. Both Energy probe and the Foodland Hydro committee are bringing in some heavyweights to back up their statements. The two groups stated presenting their direct evidence on Day 24 (Jan. 23) of the hearings being held at a hotel in Guelph. Amory Lovins, an energy consul- tant from Colorado, was the first witness called to testify for the anti- transmission line group. Lovins demonstrated that an 18 -watt compact fluorescent light bulb could cut the use of hydro power by a half. The American energy con- sultant said these bulbs sell for about $15 in the United States, not easy to find in Canada, are four times : ef- ficient and last 10 times longe mote the royal Lipizzan horse Show coming to Goderich May 25 and 26. Volunteers are needed to work on the different committees required. The annual open meeting will be held February 5 at the O.M.A.F. Of- fice, Clinton. • standard incandescent bulbs. He says that in the U.S., regular incandescent bulbs use about 42 percent of all lighting electricity. However, after some sheepish grins, Lovins changed some of his calculations. A mistake in his figures made Lovins concede that hydro would sae a fifth, not a half, the power it produces yearly. In his testimony, Lovins said On- tario Hydro should take advantage of local electricity generation. This is available in two forms in Ontario - co- generation in industry or small hydro- electric power plants. The energy consultant said local generation stations will reduce the need for the large centralized system most utilities have now. The American also cautioned that hydro customers in his country are working so hard to save energy, that there will be no market for Ontario Ilydro's electricity export. He also predicted that efficiency would enable the utility to bock out of coal - burning generating stations first then nuclear. But hydro and the provincial board of inquiry looking into the proposal questioned how the bottled up power would get out of the Bruce station. "0 this board turned down this pr6- posal, Ontario Hydro could get to ef- ficiency load management and con- centrate their minds wonderfully," Lovins told the board. Besides Lovins, the Foodland Hydro committee plans to bring in Dr. John Robinson of the University of Guelph, a load forecast specialist and Michael Rau, plant manager of the Huron County board of education. McQuail says Rau has developed energy savings methods. The hearings are expected to con- tinue in Guelph through February. After that they will move to London, Simcoe, Markdale and Clinton. The hearings are scheduled for Clinton on April 15. 1 0 1
