Ausable Bayfield Authority shows By Ross Haugh HENSALL - Due to lower ex- penditures than earlier expected the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Au- thority showed a surplus for the year 1988. At Friday's annual meeting at the Hensall Community Centre, gener- al manager Tom Prout said a flood control project in Seaforth had been delayed until 1989. This project delay along with in- creased internal revenue from user fees allowed the Authority to show a surplus on the year of $$57,788. The budget for 1989 in the amount of $2,252,744 was ap- proved by directors. The largest in- crease will be water and related land management projects, up over last year by $310,000. Prout said the Scaforth flood pro- gram is included for implementa- tion this year. The total general levy paid by municipalities in the watershed is expected to be up by 9.5 percent this year, but Prout said, " Increas- es for individual municipalities may range from zero to 30 percent. The levies are calculated on equla- ized assessment. Friday's was the first meeting of the reduced membership from 35 to 16 directors. The various advisory committees have been abolished and all directors will become mem- bers of the executive committee. The guest speaker, parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Natural Resources Bill Ballinger compli- mented the local authority on b2 ing one of the first in the province to go to substantial membership re- duction. Ballinger indicated Ontario au- thorities were in for change. He said, " In your new mandate you may do things you are not now do- fng and in reverse you may not do What you are now doing." Chairman Don Lithgow of Bo- sanquet township and vice- chairman Fred Lewis representing London township were returned by acclamation. In his general manager's relxm, Torn Prout said 1989 will he a memorable year with the conclu- sion of negotiations about the fu- ture responsibilities of Ontario's conservation authorities. He continued," To date discus- sions h.tve been lively and positive with changes to the recommenda- tions in the "Kerrio Report" inevit- able.

The time is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The day's agenda will be presented by Yves Choinicrc, P.Eng., from Alfred College of Agriculture and Food Technology. Frank Kains from O.M.A.F. will also be availa- ble for comment, etc. The experiences that Ontario pro- ducers have had with natural venti- lation over the past few years have been extremely variable. In light of this, a significant portion of the day's agenda is being set aside for the "practical application of natural ventilation" and the case study of problem barns. If you own a naturally ventilated barn that is not working as you feel it should, bring along the specs and perhaps in discussion the problem can be identified and solved. Pre -registration for this day would be appreciated. The cost will be S10. which will include the noon meal. To pre -register please call the Clinton office at 482-3428 or 1- 800-265-5170.
