Clifford denies wrongdoin OTTAWA - Terry Clifford said in the House of Commons Mon- day, " I categorically deny any wrongdoing." Clifford was referring to charges that he and Scarborough MP Bob Hicks paid each other's daughters from their Commons office bud- get in 1987 and 1988 while the young women attended university classes in Toronto and Guelph. The area MP said his daughter Amy and Sandra Hicks " are peo- ple who've done work, who've been paid for their work and have done it responsibly. The Canadian public has been well served." The Montreal Gazettee broke the story Saturday that Hicks hired Amy Clifford for the summer of 1987 and paid her $400 a week while she attended the University of Guelph and that MP Clifford paid Sandra Hicks at least $4,000 last year while she was at classes at the University of Guelph. In the House Monday, Liberal MP Doug Young insisted on dis- closure on the matter saying, ''Lay the cards on the table." Each member of parliament is given a budget of about $154,000 each year to hire assistants, rent space for a constituency office and travel in his province. The House of Commons comp- troller does not carry out audits of payments made from MP's office expense budgets. Both MP s refused to be inter- viewed, Monday. Reports out of Ottawa Tuesday morning indicate the Royal Cana- dian Mounted Police are investi- gating. Rec centre amends contract EXETER - The contract to re -clad the Exeter Recrea- tion Centre has been amended to include some extra work, but because of cost savings on the other part of the contract, the difference is only an additional $180. Insulation costing $2,700 will be needed to fill a roof cavity left when the arena was originally built and a vapour barrier has to be installed on the room for the ice resurfacing machine. The extra costs are offset by omitting vapour barrier on the bottom of the arena's south wall, saving $1,300. The new lighting system was expected to cost $4,500 but has been quoted at $2,500. In response to complaints that the inside walls of the arena are now jct black because of the new vapour barrier, deputy -reeve Lossy Fuller said they may have to be painted next year. "The interior walls arc now black...I think it looks quite attractive. I can see some changes may have to be made, but I think it looks quite sharp." said Fuller. Councillor Dave Urlin asked council why the Opti- mist Club had found it necessary to attend meetings with the recreation centre board, town council, and the town's executive committee all to pursue their aim of getting boards to cover the ice surface for their Home and Garden show. Urlin suggested their apparent mistrust in any one lo- cal government did little to help their cause. Fuller noted that the third presentation to the execu- tive committee was likely unnecessary, but said since the rec board members were co -incidentally present at the meeting, some of the concerns about who would bear the cost of the board rental were being ironed out. "They're talking and hopefully they'll be making an agreement." said Fuller. "I think we're just lucky the rcc board were here that night." Mayor Bruce Shaw agreed the Optimists possibly lacked tact. "I think in the end it worked out quite well," said Hoogenboom, noting that the meeting showed the Op- timists they were not going to have to pay any more for the board system than the arena pays. In other business, council were told by building offi- cial Dave Moyer town building permits arc nearly a million dollars ahead of totals -to -date last year, mainly because last month was ahead by more than $400,000 over September 1988.

Town households will be joining other area municipalities next year in a blue box recycling program after Exeter council gave the thumbs up to the public works committee's recommendation to join the Blue - water Recycling Association's sys- tem. Bruce Melmer, whose plan to demonstrate his plastic bag recy- cling system delayed council's deci- sion for at.least a month, did not attend the public works meeting_ last week, explaining that the engi- neering for his alternative approach to recycling was currently up for sale. Councillor Ben Hoogenboom called attention to the fact that councillor Morley Hall brought forward the motion to join the Bluewater initiative, which has al- ready gained the support of other villages and townships in the re- gion. Hall had been pressing coun- cil for action on the blue box sys- tem for a year, expressing frustra- tion at the local government's delays. "I assume that it is to be imple- mented as soon as possible," said mayor Bruce Shaw. "February is it?" "It could be March," said. Hall. Councillor Ervin Sillery raised the question of the program's cost, noting he had been approached by a company willing to set out bins for collecting metal for use by Exeter residents at no expense to the town. "When we draw up an agreement then we will know exactly what the cost will be" responded Hall. Council also approved the motion. to proclaim the week of November 20-26 as Recycling Week in Exeter and to use the occasion to promote and explain the recycling system. Developer wants to donate lands EXETER - Randy Evans, solici- tor for Gib Dow, defended his client's proposed subdivision devel- opment at Exeter council's meeting Monday evening. The planning ad- visory board had approved of the plan at their October 16 meeting, but wanted a few conditions set aside before it could be proceeded with further. The development plans call for 38 new Lots, completing King- scourt Crescent, but the planning board are suggesting two lots at the peak of the crescent be dedicated as a future connecting road to Eastern Avenue, in consideration of future plans to establish a new access to the subdivision, joining -Welling- ton Street to Pryde Boulevard, Kingscourt and Eastern Avenue. Evans said the development would be for single family dwell- ings, a type of housing in demand in Exeter. "The average use of lots in Exet- er is 2.3 people (per lot), which just astounded me,Evans said, pointing out that if this is the town's trend, then these houses would be needed. In regard to parkland required to be set aside for the area, Evans said Dow is willing to turn over the river flats to establish a recreational arca for the town instead of paying the usual developer's fee. "I would ask the town.to consider • the river flats in lieu of cash, be- cause the town would likely end up with it anyway,": said Evans. , "Well...if we're going to end up with it anyway?" inferred mayor Bruce Shaw. Evans replied that the land had considerable value and was present- ly owned by Dow. "You almost said that with a straight face," said Shaw, laughing. Evans pointed out there was no problem with servicing or lagoon capacity, but councillor t3cn Hoo- genboom said the cost of servicing the arca ultimately had to include - future planning. "We're not just talking about 38 lots, we're talking about a futurc 60 lots and I think that has to be taken into account." said Hoogenboom, although•Evans and town adminis- trator Rick Hundcy agreed the final lot figure aught not exceed a 70 -lot total. "'It is with merit the planning board says 'we've got to look at the 70 lots and not just the 38," said Evans. Council discussed the issue fur- ther in camera later in the session. Problems HENSALL - Some recent occur- rences at the Hensall Tavern brought Ron Walker to the regular October meeting of Hensall coun- cil. Walker, owner of Earl's Taxi, Exeter, had sent a letter to the mu- nicipal office earlier stating that a driver for the taxi company had re- sponded to a call to pick up a farc at the tavern on September 9. Walker gave councillors a copy of a letter sent to LLBO employee Brian Johnson giving _further de- tails of the incident. ' The letter stated that Walker's wife Sylvia had been dispatched to pick up a female passenger who worked at the tavern. Shc and her boyfriend came out and put some bags in the trunk of the cab. The tavern manager, accompanied by three other men, emerged from the hotel, ordered the passengers out of the car, and asked the driver to open thc trunk, whereupon he removed the bags. An argument over stolen clothing ensued. The tavern manager, according to the tetter; be fl Co ktck- Ute taxi, arid- was ndwas hitting it with a pool cue as the cab driver drove away. The taxi sustained $350 in damage. The po- lice arrived soon after. Walker said he had taken out peo- ple "beaten and bloody" on other occasions. He recounted rescuing one young man who had roused him from bed at 2:00 a.m. Walker at tavern had found the man, beaten and hid- ing near the tavern. The passenger did not even stop at his residence to pick up personal belongings; he was driven directly to London air- port where he bought a ticket home to Newfoundland. Walker had expected that OPP Constable Ray Jack would also he at the meeting to back him up, but the officer had not been able to at- tend. Walker offered to provide fur- ther documentation, without names, of these and other incidents. He asked for support from council in attempting to have thc hotel's liquor licence revoked. Walker said such incidents were "a slap in the face to Hensall" , and that when people read about such happenings in thc paper "it can't make Hensall too proud". "If I operated my business likc that, I'm sure Exctcr would revoke my licence," Walker commented. Councillor Peter Grpot said he wanted to retain Hcnsall's good ,name. as_a .nicr., �b.:an {al ::•tea- live. He added that council needed facts to back up Walker's allegations. "We can't act on what we hear by the grapevine," he noted. Councillor Jeff Reahurn received unanimous support for his sugges- tion that councillors meet as soon as possible with police. If Walker's charges arc substantiated, further ac- tion will be taken.
