Counci111or Frank Falconer, who first suggested the payments to the clerk -treasurer and the former clerk - treasurer, made a motion that the former clerk - treasurer, Jim McIntosh, R.R. 3, Seaforth, be paid $50 -- "a day's pay", This was ,seconded by Coun- cillor Robert Fotheringham. „Deputy reeve Robert Bell voted for the motion but Councillor William Brown said he was not in .flavour.

(Shelley McPhee photo) Adopt -A -Pet By Shelley McPhee A week ago Kim was orphaned. The gentle feline belonged to a well-to-do widow who recently decided to make her new home in Florida. Kim was not included in the plans to move. One -and -a -half year old Kim, a pretty white feline with a friendly disposition, is looking for a new. home were she will be and cared for. Kim is • a large and healthy animal and is a \ perfect example of a well -cared for pet. Her shiny, long-haired white coat of fur is accented with two small light grey patches of color above each eye. Kim has led a quiet and sheltered life. She has been spayed and declawed and would make a perfect house pet in a quiet environment. She has suffered some emotional problems because of the upheaval in her life, but with the comfort of her ball., toy mouse and towel to sleep on, she is learning to adjust quickly. Foster parent Helen Bartliff of Clinton said that Kim needs a good home and someone could easily win her over in a day or two. But it's essential that a home is found or this lovely cat will have to be put to sleep. Mrs. Bartliff is anxious to find a new master or mistress for Kim and asks that anyone in- terested in owning her can call 482-9727. - From time to time the News -Record will be featuring the Adopt -A -Pet column.

ElginThompson, Th p on of Kippen and Dick Lehnen of Vanastra, each be paid $50 for being wit- nesses. This was seconded by Mr. Fotheringham. Mr. Brown and Mr. Falconer said they were not in favour. To break the tie Reeve Ervin Sillery voted in favour, remarking, "They took the time and were there. I feel I should go along with this." Then Mr. Fotheringham made a motion that clerk - treasurer McLachlan be paid $250. for the ad- ditional work he had to do for the municipal board hearing. This was seconded by Mr. ,and. Mr. Brown voted in favour. The OMB hearing was held to decide who was to be responsible for a debenture debt against 'the Vanastra recreation centre of $130,000 which council approved in 1974 with the passing, of a bylaw. The intention of the bylaw was for the debt to be levied against the ratepayers of the hamlet of Vanastra only, as agreed upon by the Vanastra residents. However, the bylaw prepared by a govern ment official, approved ack to work WINGHAM - Following a rather bleak year in 1980, Western Foundrey Co. Ltd., is looking forawrd to an upswing in business next year as the automotive industry begins to stabilize. The foundry, Wingham's largest in- dustrial employer, is just back from a one-week, layoff during which two of its four production stations were closed. However,aPro'sicterit R.W. LeVan said by this week most of the•'61 emploYees laid off should be back, bringing the work force to 125. He said the layoff was necessary to permit adjustments to the in- ventory. Basically this has been a pretty slow year, Mr. 'LeVan reported. He said he hopes to be back up to two shift next year, •gradually building the work force back up to 175-200. by thebntario municipal boar. d and finally by council, placed, responsibility, for paying off the centre debt on all ratepayers in Tucker - smith township. In spite of the mistake in wording the township has been charging the debt only to Vanastra residents for the past six years. Councillor William Brown discovered the mistake recently while searching through old records and council decided to pass a new bylaw to correct the old one on the advice of the OMB. However 83 Vanastra residents protested the revision of the bylaw and the OMB hearing was called. The fora 1, V. M Singer who presided over the hearing said when he gave his ruling, "I find it not difficult to approve this bylaw". However, he said a "whole flock of • people" were responsible for the error in the 1974 bylaw, including the' OMB, provincial government officials, township officials and council and its legal counsel. Councillor William Brown stated one of the candidates campaigning in the election was saying that he (Brown) was responsible for the OMB hearing and it had cost over $3,900. Councillor Fotheringham, who is seeking the deputy reeve position, along with Mr. Brown, said he was the one who was making the statement. Mr. Brown said, yes, he had caused the' hearing but that it was necessary to clear up a mistake made by the 1974 council. Reeve Sillery said, "You can't estimate the damage tb the township that the hearing ',has caused.' Councillor . Frank Falconer said to Reeve Sillery that council in 1974 was "short-handed" and. the trouble you got into; you deserved". Mr. Sillery a`slstcd what. he • *neeAt,.,., 'Falconer �d 1 Fowlie said, W e 1 wi a ha.d quit and you ,never replaced him. You were pushing things through short-handed.' (Coun- cillor Vince Fowlie of Vanastra had resigned his seat over the debenture debt being charged to Vanastra residents only.) Mr. Falconer, who had served on council before the 1974 incident but was not on council that year, indicated he would have filled the vacancy if he had been asked. Mr. Fotheringham said he wanted to clear up a point resulting from a news story that said he had never given an ex- planation as to why Mr. BrownhadbeenTake if the Vanastra day care centre board in 1979 when he (Fotheringham) was chairmah of the board.. Mr, Fotheringham said to Mr. Brown and the press representative that the reason he was taken off was because he had been digging into other things in the township and "I felt if he got digging into the day care centre all the day care board members might quit". Council finalized its plans for a party on. election night which it will hold at the Vanastra recreation centre. It was decided the rental for the hall. of $150 .and the fee for the disc jockey, Dale Parsons, R.R. 2, Kippen, for $140 should be paid out of the township's general funds and the profit from the bar to go to the recreation centre. Council agreed to donate $100 to minor hockey -- the Clinton house league -- to help in the purchase of sweaters, socks and such as the result of a request from one of the coaches, • George Townsend of R.R. 4, Seaforth. Approval was given to cFW tion aired -or, Diane Durnin, to request the government to provide a person with salary paid 100 per cent at no cost to the township, to study for one year the programs provided at the recreation centre and their value. Eldon O'Brien, R.R. 5, Clinton, was hired at $18 per hour to blow snow at the 'recreation centre to clear the drives and parking areas, as Township of Goderich NOMINATIONS Nominations will be received by•the undersigned during normal office hours between November 13 and November 17 including closing at 5 p.m. Mon- day, November 17 for the position of 1 COUNCILLOR for the Towhship of Goderich.
