(Anne Narejko photo) Council wants camping in Clinton Conservation Park CLINTON - Council here is looking to pro- -vide overnight camping accommodation at the Clinton Conservation Park. The park area, located along the Bayfield River at Clinton's southerly limits is cur- rently limited to day use and picnics. It is owned and operated by the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA ). Clinton Council is requesting that the AB - CA reconsider the Status of the park. Over- night camping could be accommodated in the park as there are adequate washroom facilities. "The park is not being used to the best of its abilities," said Reeve Bee Cooke in mak- ing her presentation to council. She further suggested that weekend supervision would be required for camping use. Also suggested were signs at the park entrance to promote the fitness and walking trail. The recommendations will be forwarded to the ABCA for further study. All Development Agreement A new agreement that has earned coun- cil's seal of approval calls for the comple- tion of all curb, drain and asphalt work on all new municipally developed streets. Councillor Ross Carter questioned the proposal when he asked if such a regulation would increase the price of housing lots to the point where developers could not afford to buy them. Mayor John Balfour explained that an all development agreement is not an unusual request, "It's a standard subdivision agree- ment policy in most municipalities. It is less costly to complete this work (curbs, drains, asphalt) at the time of development." He added,..' People are willing to pay more for their lots if this work is done. They don't want gravelled streets. They want their roadways finished." It was further noted that such an agree- ment would not include sidewalks, as such work is more costly and could be completed at a later date. la.Pw t,o\bS P oc t\5 e0eS V w4 v-�`e _eat ‘6'3 t% ° „cot es c WO"' ��p�(�‘toe®N1- �o , t .

Boaters in particular should remember that the to gh changes made to the Criminal Code of Canada (December 2, 1985) make impaired boating as a serious an offence as impaired driving. Refusing to provide a breath sample in either a motor vehicle or a vessel is also an offence. It is especially im- portant to note that the offence of impaired boating can be committed whether or not the boat is in motion. Red Cross has been involved in water safety education for more than 40 years and reminds all water sports participants that water and alcohol can be a deadly combina- tion. Don't wind up in the drink - leave the alcohol behind. Flood, erosion maps available from MVCA Maps identifying areas subject to flooding and erosion along the Lake Huron shoreline between Port Albert and Lot 30, Concession I of Goderich Township are now available to the public. The Flood and Erosion Risk Mapping was prepared under the Canada -Ontario Flood Damage Reduction Program. The program is based upon the premise that the best way to reduce flood damage and potential loss of life is to regulate develop- ment along the shoreline. The flood and erosion risk mapping iden- tifies areas which would be flooded by a 100 year storm and where erosion is ex- pected to occur over the next 100 years given historical erosion rates. These flood risk areas were designated by the Federal Ministry of the Environ- ment, and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources on March 31, 1987. Now that these flood risk areas have been identified no future federal or provin- cial government buildings or structures that are vulnerable to flood damage will be placed in these areas. Funds from govern- ment sources such as the Canada Mor- tgage and Housing Corporation will no longer be available for new buildings plac- ed in the flood risk area. Structures built in the risk area will not be eligible for flood disaster assistance. Concerned residents are encouraged to study the flood risk maps and to be aware of flood and erosion risk areas. Copies of the maps are available from the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority, Box 127, Wroxeter, Ontario, NOG 2X0, phone 335-3557. HELP KEEP RED CROSS .16 READY!
