These counties stat- ed their municipalities have no problem collecting for fire calls from the insurance companies. This policy was also reviewed by county council when the highways were downloaded and letters sent to all municipalities indicating the county would not be paying for fire calls. Municipalities which bill the owner of the vehicle find they get paid because the individual. collects from the insurance company. The municipalities which try to bill the insurance companies are not as suc- cessful. Brian McBurney of Turnberry Township said paying for fire calls on the downloaded roads should be the responsibility of the county. The committee had rec- ommended that the pre- sent policy of no compen- sation for fire calls on county roads be continued. The recommendation was accepted and carried by council. B Craig Bradford TIME -ADVOCATE STAFF EXETER -- Exeter's pubiie-works staff has proposed the town stick with the status quo when It, comes to the costs of proposed '99 road work. In a report to the town's committee of the whole by service delivery man- ager Dave Moyer, $320,000 worth of road work is proposed for '99. The list of projects was devised after public works staff surveyed the com- munity, assessed the con- dition of town streets and discussed the projects with Goderich's B M Ross and Associates, the con- sulting engineers. The projects include: •Reconstruction (removal of existing pave- ment, new granular base, curbs and gutters, service relocation, widening of street when needed) of Simcoe St. from Andrew St. to Edward St.; work would include storm sew- ers to complete work started in '98 on Andrew St. Price tag: $120,000. •Reconstruction of Churchill Dr. from Pryde Blvd. to Eastern Ave; the second layer of asphalt wouldn't be laid till next year (not included in cost). Price tag: $85,000. *Reconstruction of Riverside Dr. from Hillcrest Dr. to work on Riverside Dr. done in '98; second layer of asphalt wouldn't be laid till next year (not including in cost). Price tag: $50,000. •Pavement of Anne St. from Marlborough St. to railway tracks. Price tag: $7,000. •Pavement of Hill St. from Main St. to park entrance. Price tag: $16,000. •Pavement of Riverside Dr. from Hillcrest Dr. to turning circle. Price tag: 7 $13,000 (second layer of asphalt to be laid next year not included). The proposal includes a $29,000 contingency. Councillor Joe Hogan asked if any sidewalk pro- jects were being contem- plated, noting Wellington St. would be a "high pri- ority". since Nabisco is working all year round. Moyer said he'd look at costs of such a project but added he doesn't recom- mend any major sidewalk work. The proposal will be up for approval at Monday's council meeting. with Country Recording Star Avontwzi KINDERGARTEN Maitland REGISTRATION Learning for a Lifetime For School Year '99-'00 Public Elementary Schools in Huron and Perth Counties will hold Kindergarten Registration for tf s next school year beginning March 1, 1999 and concluding on: Thursday, March 11, 1999 (8:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.) for Senior Kindergarten (a) Students who will be 5 years of age by December 31, 1999 Junior Kindergarten b) Students who will be 4 years of age by December 31, 1999 arents of Kindergarten Age children are asked to telephone their area school no later than Friday.

Exeter Self-directed RRSP's, are they for you? Yes, it's that time of year again when we are bombarded with advertisements, seminars and telemarketers telling us why and how we should be investing our money. Having said that, planning for one's retirement is probably one of the most important goals facing Canadians Michael today. Skochinski Who do you trust and why does every sales person say that their plan is the best? Today I will explain what a self-directed RRSP plan is and why investors should consider them as an option. The very name itself instills fear into investors who think that they have to be an expert and make all of the investment decisions themselves. This couldn't be further from the truth! The term self-directed means that you have one plan which can hold the widest selection of investments available. These include GIC's, stocks, bonds and a wide array of mutual funds, both load and no load. When dealing with a full-service brokerage you will receive experienced advice your Investment Executive who, in turn, has a full research team behind him, to help you sort through and make sense of all the investment products. Together, then, you select the correct mix, based on your needs, risk tolerance and long term objectives. The result: a truly individualized, diversified and well balanced portfolio. May financial institutions offer GIC's or term deposits as, well as in house mutual funds. Although many may be fine investments. no one company has the top performers in all categories. A self- directed plan broadens your selection by allowing you to pick and choose the best investments for your plan from all the different companies. Canada represents less than 3% of the global investment market and therefore maximizing foreign holdings is very important. In a self-directed plan, all of your investments are considered when calculating the amount you can put towards international investments. Another advantage with this type of plan is that it will save you the time and bother associated with trying to keep track of your Investments held at various financial institutions. All of your holdings, no matter where invested, will appear on one statement. A self-directed plan offers one advisor, one plan, the widest selection, the greatest choice, all organized in one statement... definitely worth considering.
