S[NNKING ROAD -.For the new council in Bayfield, the restoration of the sinking Old Mill Road will rank high on their agenda of projects for the new year. Currently, a barrier has been, erected around the eroding section near the top of the hill which will stand throughout the winter months. Letters have been sent to property owners living along the road advis- ing them of the barrier. The road, which is open to one lane traffic, sevices three permanent homes, 12 cot- tages, the marina and a commercial fishing business. The commencing of the repair work on the road is still dependent on receiving funding from various government agencies which have jurisdiction over the road and river. The earliest date the repairs could begin is .June of 1986. - On August 9, the report of the engineering firm of Golder and Associates from London was released to council. The report states the sinking of the road was primarily caused by the unusually high water table caused by increased precipitation in the area over the last 10 years. It was also caused by erosion and the adding of fill to properties along the roadway. The engineers' study found the top of the hill heading in a southerly direction is "marginally stable" while the road section inning toward the river is unstable. Two methods of repair were recommend- ed in the report. The first method, rip -rap, involves spreading rocks at the tip of the river to the toe of the road to re -stabilize the read with granular fill to be placed overtop. The second method, sheet piling, uses rip - rap along with:a steel wall at the base of the river. The road would also be re -sloped with sub- surface drains to be installed, Existing trees would be removed to relieve the weight from the bank, the report said. The estimated cost for the project is $200,000 for rip -rap while sheet piling would 1150 cost approximately $530,000. An 'additional .1 $6,1184• Charge- would be added to •either method if abare isiuired for the eon- struction..' T ".: • As for government funding, council has written MPP Jack Riddell, who has referred the matter to the 11inistry of Municipal Af- fairs which has a program ealledthe Uncon- ditional Grants Act which could tie in with funding for the project. Federally, MP Mur- ray Cardiff has, said the project could benefit frorii a make-work project funded by the federal government if unemployed workers were used as part of the tender agreement. The Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications and the Ministry of. Oceans and Fisheries will givethe project consideration in their 1986 budget, Locally, the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority has placed $135,000 for consideration in their 1986 budget to deal with the erosion problems at the river. RECREATION DIRECTOR RESIGNS - Clinton Recreation Director Kevin Duguay silenced the recreation committee when he announced his resignation in September 1985. Mr. Duguay cited conflicts with other municipal employees as well as personal reasons for leaving his job after only 18 months. On October 1, Clinton native Steve Camp- bell was hired to replace Mr. Duguay. Mr. Campbell had previously worked at the Clin- ton Arena and is a graduate of Mohawk Col- lege with a major in pool operation manage- ment. THRESHER REUNION - The Blyth Threshermen's Reunion has been going for 24 consecutive years, bringing people from across Ontario to the village. In 1985 over 12,000 people came out to see the machines, take part in. the competitions and eat the food. The parade attracted 35 entrants and ap- proximately 40 arts and crafts exhibitors . filled the arena. Y. STANGS GO JUNIOR D - In May of 1985 it was officially announced that the Clinton Junior C hockey team would drop to the Junior D level.

TRANSMISSION LINES -- It's still a long way in the future before consolidated hydro hearing in Guelph decides the fate of the hydro transmission system which could run through Huron County. The hearings; held in Guelph since November 20, will be considering the hydro route and system to distribute locked in power at the Bruce Nuclear Power Develop- ment to markets in southwestern Ontario and Michigan. The joint' board made, up of two members from the Ontario Municipal Board and a member from the Envi onmental Assess- ment Board could be hearing submissions from interested parties until at least May before a decision on the route and plan is made. In July, Hydro announced the M7 plan as its preferred system plan. The plan calls for transmission lines from Bruce to Essa (near Barrie), Bruce to London through Huron County and then from London to the Nan- ticoke Generating Station. Hydro has also considered two other systems, the M1 and M5, all of which run through the county. The Foodland Hydro Committee, made up of 1,200 farmers who -oppose the erecting of hydro towers on prime farm land, are pro- posing at the hearings that hydro re -instate plan M3 as their preferred plan. The plan runs from Bruce to Essa, then runs along Highway 401 to London, bypassing Huron County. Hydro's plan to implement plan M3 was nullified after a divisional court ruled there was not adequate notice of the 1982 hearings in Stratford. Throughout the summer months, Ontario Hydro has been holding open 'houses in towns and municipalities which may be af- fected by the M7 plan, one of which came to Clinton on September 12. Here, approximately • 100 concerned citizens came to hear Hydro's plans and to see, with aerial photographs, exactly where the transmission lines would intersect with property right-of-ways. Farmers at the open house also had a chance to talk with Hydro officials about the possible destruction of woodlots along the route and about the method of compensation for land if Hydro proceeds with plan M7. Since Hydro's announcement, of the preferred M7 plan in July, the Foodland Hydro Committee, with• West Wawanosh farmer Tony McQuail at the helm, has been preparing for battle. The 'group erected signs on the Labor Day weekend in protest to the staking of the route, which Hydro claimed was done for the purpose of aerial photographs. The Foodland Hydro Commit- tee also built a float depicting a larger than life farmer tangled in hydro wires which was part of parades in the area.
