(James Fitzgerald photo) itizens plea for industrial land By Shelley McPhee Clinton may be facing death, not a slow one, but a very fast demise. This is what industrial committee chairman Mike Falconer has warned Clinton council. In an . hour-long discussion on Monday night, Mr. Falconer pleaded with coun'� it to make a ficial deep ion to purchae industrial land for the town. "Land is becoming a concern and we're . getting a lot of foreign in- vestment. In a few years all that land will be snatched up and the town will be left with nothing to work with," he. stressed at the•council meeting. Council has been thoughtfully. looking at a parcel of land to purchase for the past few months and have been waiting word on how much it will cost There's breakfast, lunch and supper. There's brunch, afternoon tea and bedtime snacks'.. Without much effort, e could all keep our tastebuds tingling and our .Stomachs overly satisfied for 24 hours a day., That's frightening. , Worse than any deadly disease, the obsession' with food is turning this• society into a race of blubbery creatures. Just turn on the TV, tune into your favorite radio station, pick up a'magazine ora newspaper and see how we've bombarded ourselves with food like luscious fudge sundaes, golden Brown muffins, roasted cornish hens, •piled -high pizza pie and overflowing plates of sweet and sour chicken balls. Ahhh, how inviting. But then, with a turn of the page or the next commercial setting, we're faced with svelte young bodies, diet tips and warnings not to over eat. The end result of this food fanatical society is simple. Either we die of obesity and all its related failings or anorexia nervosa Shelley by mcphee (inability to eat). What a choice! "Just at well balanced meals," they tell us. So a trip to the health food shops fills our cupboards with granola bars, honey and a zillion kinds of vitamins. No sooner do we begin our healthy new diet when we hear that granola's full of sugar,honey's just as fattening as- thesweet white stuff and we may be overloading our bodies with vitamins and nutrients. Back to the grocery store we go, only to find all types of un- prouncable named additives in every -thing we mat and weeks - warnings of cancer causing agents in everything from soup to nuts. Some tell us to eat red meat, others say no. Sugar is banned by some and sacchrine and cyclamates bytanother. Are potatoes fattening or not? How much milk are we supposed to drink in the day? Will ' we get mercury poisoning if we eat fish? Does anyone know the right answer?! to service the proposed industrial site. However, Mr. Faloncer andreal estate agent Mason :Bailey, another industrial committee member, convinced puha to meet with the lawyers and the vendors in an at- tempt to come up with a closing date conditional offer. "The clients are wanting tO deal in good faith," Mr. Falconer pointed out, "But the reason they've been turning your offers down is because there's nothing conrete in the offer. No closing date- was set. Our , lawyer (Be,echer Menzies) should make an effort to put something concrete down on paper. Give the clients something theycan grasp." While the industrial committee was concerned that no closing date had been included in council'sfirst offer to purchase, Deputy Reeve Ernie Brown explained,. "Council was concerned about the price of .servicing the land and we wanted to find out the prices . first." , However, Mr. Falconer pointed out that he had -addressed council at an earlier meeting and , asked that engineers B.M. Ross and Associates of Goderich, prepare a servicing study. Mayor Lobb explained that he had asked PUC manager Gus Boussey about servicing and had not received a report back. "Get after B.M. Ross and tell them that ydu went' an estimate," Coun- cillor Ron McKay said. "Council should be dealing directly. with B.M., Ross and not others." Mayor Lobb explained that he went to the PUC because they were familiar with surveys and costs. Clerk Cam Proctor suggested that the council would have to come up With a street Tayouf before they could ask B.M. Ross to prepare the ser- vicing survey for the proposed in- dustrial site. . "We're not engineers and I'm not prepared to lay out streets," Coun- cillor Rob Parr replied. Mr. Falconer and Mr. Bailey again stressed mat the engineers could 414r, 1%iiiki3 N. WW1* AT OUR... IN oviwi' *AIIK work on the survey, but in the meantime an offer should be agreed on. "The town is interested in where the main trunk and main road will go and maybe two or three large arteries. That's basically all that you should have to tell B.M. Ross," Mr. Falconer said. ' "Even if we come to -an' agreement it still must come up for Ontario Muncipal Board approval," Mayor Lobb noted: "This town doesn't have the money to pay for land or servicing ,so it will have to be debentured." "Exactly," " Mr. Falconer replied. "We don't have Money and that's why we need industries, in Clinton to get money circulating again. Land prices are cheap and the town just has to decide whether they want to pay for the servicing." "You've got to have serviced land," he went on, "or the developers will just go somewhere else. Sure we're close to Lake Huron and we're the hub of the county, but industrial developers want land, hydro, sewage and water." He went on to point out that since Excello-Wildex began operation in 1972, nothing has been- done in the town to encourage industry. "I realize in this economy we want to be penny pinchers, but this town has to open their purse strings. Speaking as a. young person in this community, if nothing happens in this own, many of us won't be here in 10 ears,," he warned.

He suggested _that the Huron board should combine busing with the separate school board and he hoped to see this organized. , He said it was pretty hard to control finances with government grants based onthe number of pupils and this nurnler declining. When government grants are cut, then the board has to come back on municipalities for money, he stated. Speaking of his council years where he has served 11 years, but not con- secutively, he told of the work done by council during the past two years - such as more requests for building . permits, drainage works approved and he'' included "more trouble with Turn to page 17 • Just Arrived!
