.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-

ral sector. 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."
