Times Advocate, 1992-12-02, Page 28Page 28 Times -Advocate, December 2, 1992 • JNTHF'"EWS .Controversial management plan Rec facilities to be more aware of alcohol problems EXETER - Alcohol and awareness. Two words which were to be used a great deal yes- terday at the Ontario Recreation Facilities Associa- tion Zone 1 meeting in Exeter. The South Huron Recreation Centre was host to the meeting which was expected to have as many as 100 in attendance. Cam Stewardson, Facilities Manager at the Rec Centre said the primary topic of discussion was to be alcohol risk management. All the rec centres in Zone 1 from Windsor to Han- over, have shown a lot of concern lately about just who is liable when it comes to serving alcohol. Stewardson explained that the responsibility is split equally between the operator of the facility and the person who is renting the facility. "They're (ORFA) are trying to set up more specific policies. There's a lot of problems, risk management. There are more law suits all the time. It's the same law that originated in the taverns," said Stewardson. He said the Liquor License Board of Ontario is put- •tingmore responsibility on the hall operator and not- ed that one municipality, which owns and operates the rec facilities, was recently fined $5,000. The South Huron Rec Centre is currently in the working stages of drawing up regulations for alcohol management. The Town of Wiarton has a 10 -page booklet which outlines their policy on alcohol management. But Stewardson cautions against too many rules. "The more rules you have and don't enforce them; it's a waste of time. Right now were (South Huron) working on more specific guidelines. Up to a couple of years ago the ORFA was called the Ontario Arena Associations but more and more communities are having their recreation staff in- volved in maintenance of grounds and of halls. Strikes banned for farms TORONTO - A special task force has released its second and final re- port on labour relations in the agri- cultural sector, paving the way for the creation of separate legislation for agricultural workers. In making the announcement last week Labour Minister Bob Mack- enzie commended the committee, made up of representatives of agri- cultural employers, organized la- bour and farm workers, for accom- plishing a difficult and complicated task. He said officials from the Ministnes of Labour and of Agri- culture and Food worked closely with the task force to arrive at con- sensus. The provincial government adopted all of the recommendations of the task force's first report, which was released on June 26. It asked the task force to further re- fine and clarify some of the conclu- sions in this second and final report before the government decides on the scope of legislative reform. A key recommendation in the first report was that strikes and lockouts be banned in the agricultu- Exeter man charged with marijuana possession EXETER - An Exeter man has been charged by the Exeter OPP with possession of a narcotic.

The final report recom- mends that strikes and lockouts be replaced by a structured process of negotiation, mediation and arbitra- tion based on a single final position presented to a 'selector' by each side in a dispute. It also recommends that a bipar- tite committee, chaired by a senior Ministry of Labour official, be set up to monitor labour relations in the agricultural sector and advise the government on required re- forms and on education programs. The repos also suggests that sea- sonal employees be extended the right to organize, `rut be treated separately from other agricultural workers. Shoreline project extended By Ray Lewis TA -Stan EXETER - The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ARCA) decided at its November board of directors meeting to extend their Shoreline Management Plan pro- cess for another year. The ABCA has been working on the project for the past three years, and over the past summer presented a draft which was made available to the public for comments. Written comments were received from owners of some 300 Iakeshore properties, many of whom ex- pressed concern that the plan was being rushed through, and would suddenly be implemented imposing many new restrictions on their cot- tage properties. "We heard numerous comments," said Pat Donnelly of the ABCA. "So we decided there was enough concern that we would extend it for another year to allow us to incorpo- rate all the comments." According to Donnelly, many felt it would be inappropriate to com- plete the plan during the winter, when the cottagers aren't around to give a voice. December of 1993 is now the ten- tative time frame for completion, which will allow the ABCA an- other summer to conduct a series of open houses or some type of public forurn for cottagers to get a good look at the proposal. Donnelly also feels many land- owners have been given the wrong impression by the plan. Even with the study complete, it wouldn't mean changes ovemight because there is a whole implementation process that would take a consider- able length of time. "The second thing is a lot of the so-called restrictions arc just clari- Fact-finder appointed By Ray Lewis TA -Staff CLINTON - The Education Rela- tions Commission has appointed Toronto lawyer Elaine Newman as fact finder in the negotiations be- tween the elementary teachers and the trustees of the Huron County Board of Education. The fact finder will meet with the parties and write a report setting out which matters have been agreed upon and which matters re- main in dispute. The report may also contain recommendations for settlement. The ground rules for negotiations in the teaching sector state that bar- gaining in each jurisdiction begins in January of the year in which the collective agreement expires. For the Huron County Board that's 1993. All collective agreements, re- gardless of term, expire on August 31. The parties, therefore, have eight months of bargaining time available prior to the expiration of their collective agreement to con- clude a settlement. _ During this eight-month period, there is no requirement for third - party assistance from either a fact finder or mediator. fying what's already out there," said Donnelly. "A lot of people, unless they are already putting an addition on their cottage, dop't realize there are quite a few restrictions through the zoning .'bylaws and public health department." "All we'redoing is basically clar- ifying what is already out there and putting it down in a document which, hopefully, is a little easier for them to read and more straight forward," he added. "That way they don't have to go bouncing around between six or seven differ- ent agencies and offices, trying to figure out what they can or cannot do."
