EXETER - The third annual con-
servation dinner held April 30 in
Exeter was the most successful one
every held.
Sponsored jointly by the Ausable
Bayfield Conservation Foundation
and the Exeter Lions Club, the din-
ner is ;spatted to net in excess of
328,000
mdng to Mew=
SharonRomphf.
The previous two dinners brought
in net returns of about 520,000
each
Co-chairman Tom Hertai said
this week, "I am very pleased with
the end results. The main reasons
for the increases in profits this year
is the fact most of the art work and
auction items were cost covered by
a large number of businesses
throughout the watershed and we
certainly appreciate their support."
The -S28.000 will 1f It Vie-
tween the two sponsoring ?groups.
As was the case last year, the Lions
again agree to use at least 75 per -
cern of their share for continued
beautification of MacNaughton
Park and establishment of the Exet-
er'Marrison Dam Corridor.
The ARCA Foundation's share
will be used further improvements
to the White Pine Woods outdoor
education area clasrrooni at the
Parkhill Conservation Area and
continue barrier -free trails at vari-
ous locations.
Bidding was brisk four the 25 live
auction times among the 408 per-
sons who attended and this portion
of the night's activities brought in
310,905.

Watershed Scene, an original by
Tammy Laye for S1,600.
Tammy Laye, who has been the
featured artist for each of the throe
years said she wished to thank
those who have so eagerly bid on
her work over the years. She added,
"No, 1 am not upset that the paint-
ing did not draw higher bids, but
--yhe guy who bought it got a great
bargain."
Another Laye item the remarque
print of Horse and Buggy went for
a final bid of .5675 and a L-
LakePon Fhwilcs original .painted

Lonilon annexation concerns MPP
Dear Editor:
I am writing to let Middlesex
stents know the steps that I
have.takenbefore-ard since the re-
lease :of ..:re Arbitrator's report. on
April. .3, 1992. I have discussed
this report with the Minister of
Municipal Affairs, the •Premier,
Marion Boyd, . David Winninger,
and members .of the Government
. Caucus. Juan of these .discussions
I have communicated your con-
cerns around the size of the -pro-
posed annexation, the kind of
•planning.that is important, the lack
of detail in the Arbitrator's report
and its apparent contradictions,
and -my _determination that Mid-
.dlesexemerge from this process a
financially strong County. I be-
lieve that a healthy County is also
in the best interests of the City and
constituents I serve in the eastern
part of London.
When it became more and more
clear that doaally cleated liti-
an agreement to -resolve the'Mid-
dleaex-London boundary :dispute,
Minister David 'Cooke :appointed
an Arbitrator to hearthe issues and
make recommendations regarding
a solution. I met with County ne-
gotiators while they discussed the
approach that Middlesex would
take during the public hearings.
I also went to a meeting of Mid-
dlesex Board of Education to par-
ticipate in the discussion of con-
cerns around the impact of
boundary changes on the school
system. Although I could not at-
tend all the public meetings be-
cause of out of town committee
work, I did go to ten or twelve. I
wanted to hear fust hand what my
constituents had to say.
Since the release of the Arbitra-
tor's report, I have spent a consid-
erable amount of time posing
questions to staff of the Ministry
of Municipal Affairs regarding the
problems I believe exist with the
jurisdiction andlacement of the.
buffer zone, the Mplucation of .the
Farm Practices Protection Act on
thefarms that could become part of
the city, effective Live plmming to hmit
the annexed area that could be de-
veloped, protection of agricultural
land, as well as the macer of can-
pensation to the Cotmty.
On Thursday, April 23 I was
present at a meeting between Min-
ister Cooke and Warden Frank
Gare, a meeting between the Minis-
ter and Mayor Tom Gosnell, and a
later meeting that in-
cluded Dave
Cooke, the War-
den,
Loudon's
Mayor and the
heads of Cotmcils
directly -affected by
armexation. This is the
first of a -number of meetings .the
• Minister will bavesin sloe Laden
I have also made a presentation
Ito the Rural Advisory Committee
of Caucus, and most recently .the
Planning and Priorities Committee
of Cabinet. At the Planning and Pri-
orities meeting I was once again
able to express .to Cabinet and ;the
Premier my cancans and reserva-
tion around the Brant report. They
listened openly and responded most
positively with support for my posi-
tion on your behalf.
I am confident of the determina-
tion within the government caucus
to find a resolution to the Middles-
ex -London boundary dispute that is
in the interests of .all constituents
and that reflects the best solution in
terms of planning and preservation
of agricultural land. The Minister
of Municipal Affairs has been re-
ceptive to the point of view that I
have expressed and to my many
questions.

•
I believe that Middlesex can
emerge from this boundary dispute
the strong .rural community it has
always been. 1 reject entirely the
proposal by some, including former
MPP Doug Reycraft, that the solu-
tion is. to amalgamate Middlesex
and Elgin. Regional Government
has been rejected as expensive and
lethargic in meeting the needs of in-
dividuals. Mr. Reyenft's proposal
is simply Dave Mwray's Regional
Government idea, . by by another
name. The needs of Middlesex
County residents could too easily
be overlooked in a combined
County structure.
I have also been in communica-
tion with the Minister of Education
and attended a meeting with Minis-
try staff to reiterate with Mr. Siiipo
and those who will facilitate the
current discussions between the
London Board of Education and
Middlesex Board, the expressed
wish of marry County, is ire-
-gelding
e-
.. Arlin Middlesex -County
Board of Education.
A transition temp comprised of
the heads or their designates, asp
l
Councils directly affected by the
proposed annexation,hasrbeen put
in place to address the immediate
issues and problems arising from
the annexation process.
The transition team will be
chaired by Assistant Deputy Minis-
ter, Brian Riddell, Municipal Oper-
ations, loth floor, 777 Bay Street,
Toronto, M5G 2E5 (416) 585-
6600.
I would encourage anyone with
specific concerns regarding issues
like split properties. affected build-
ing lots, etc., to contact the appro-
priate township representative on
the transition team and Mr. Rid-
dell. This will assist both the pub-
lic and the transition team in the
next few weeks.
Draft legislation will be prepared
over the next few weeks. Both I
and the transition loser► will have
an opportunity 40 .Mte put and
make teconuuopdliitpft dt°g
the legislation before aims to the
Hoare. No date has been set for the
introduction of legislation.
For the last nineteen months I
have advocated for the people of
the riding of Middlesex and I shall
continue to advocate on your be-
half.
