HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1981-05-13, Page 3Council allows Bourdeau to hook into water system Residents and businessmen with property along the Suncoast Extension will be able to hook into existing town services without having to pay a proposed frontage assessment rate. Council made the decision Monday after Art Bourdeau requested permission to hook into the water service along the Suncoast Extension, to ser- vice his business on Bennett Street. Originally council intended to charge all property owners along the extension a frontage rate as determined by the town engineer. The rate would be charged at a cost per foot for each service and under the formula Bourdeau was asked to pay in excess of $20,000 for water, and storm and sanitary sewer hookup. Bourdeau,protested that the cost of the extension and services should be paid by the town out of general funds. "It should be paid for out of the town's general funds," he said. " I pay enough taxes now." Council agreed to allow residents and businesses along the Suneeast extension to hook into services at the usual cost but the motion did not include sub- division agreements and severances. Clerk Larry McCabe explained the town had two options in recovering partial costs of servicing the area. Under the Planning Act, when land along the road is rezoned (it is now zoned developmental) the town can enter into an agreement with the owner or under the Municipal Act, the town could simply pass a bylaw to levy rates for the work. Mr. Bourdeau explained that he simply came to the town for permission to hook into a water line but suddenly was asked to pay for all services. "I just came to the town for water and the only mention of payment for the services came when Borg-Warner backed out of their deal," he said. Stan Profit said the town had obligation to complete the extension by 1" 1 in an agreement with Borg- Warner. Jim Searls agreed saying Bourdeau did not ask for the road at the back of his property but rather, it was for the convenience of the town. The town is already late in completing the project,. Glen Carey said, and asked council how the town could ask for $20,000 just to hook into services. Deputy -reeve Bob Allen challenged that stand claiming -the town couldn't service developmental land "We are talldng about $1 million and if we give away services now we have to do it for all of them," he said. "It will take a lot of nerve to ask others to pay a.share. His land is .not zoned-" Councillor Profit said that when the developmental land along the extension is rezoned, the developers will require an agreement with council. "When he develops that land then we' get an agreement," he said. Haydon said the motion will not affect other property owners along the proposed Suncoast ex- tension. 4.1.611113.

These days most movies are rated R (Restricted), P.G. (Parental Guidance) or Adult. There are hardly any movies rated G (General) and they are usually ones. like Mary Poppins and Song of the South. I feel they should be rated as kiddy shows. Most kids over the age of 8 or 9 don't go to them anyway. General should be more mature movies which are rated Parental Guidance. Even though there is swear- ing or kissing in a movie there is no reason not to make them General: Most children know at least one swear word before they are five. I agree some movies are to be rated Restricted or Parental Guidance because of the nature of the movie but let's not get carried away. If you asked most kids I think they would agree with me and furthermore, if the parents didn't want their children to see the shows they wouldn't be there.

The regional office had informed the board of education that, beginning in September, students of Vanastra Public School would be accomodated in Clinton and Brucefietd Schools. The Vanastra School was started in 1977 because schools ip Clinton and Brucefield could not handle the excess students. In 1977 the regional office agreed to rent a building in Vanastra from Conestoga College for a three-year period. D.A.

That decision was later reversed and Vanastra Public School will be open at least until June 1982. In a letter to 1 inchlea, director or education John Cochrane pointed out that transportation costs for the 101 students would amo unt to $26,045 while rental fees are $27,000 annually. He suggested the $995 saving was not worth the problems the board and ministry would inherit as a result of the closure. In his letter to the regional office, Cochrane said closure of the school would result in an ugly situation addling that it would contribute to the gangrenous demise of a Huron County community. The ministry did approve rental payments for portable classrooms at Goderich and District Collegiate Institute and Holmesville Public School. But rental of por- tables at Brussels, Colborne and Grey Central Public Schools was not approved for grant purposes. The board has appealed the decision but in the in- terim will pay the $350 yearly rental cost. 'Sub- missions from the principals of the affected schools, in- dicate the loss of portable dormer student regrets the passing of inspector Dear Editor; I read with regret in your paper of the passing of E. C. Beacom, one of Goderich and district's outstanding citizens. Perhaps the present staff of the. Signal -Star is reasonably new to the area and is not aware that Mr. 1 SHOPPERS SQUARE, GODERICH 524-7241 OPEC® ALL DAV :^a'EOPSESrEll-A7 Beacom served as inspector of. Public Schools for Goderich and surrounding townships during the 1930s and early 1940s. The En- trance Certificates of those over 45 who grew up in the area bear his signature. His home was on the north side of Nelson Street at the north end of St. Andrew Street, When the North Bay Teachers'. College was open- ed after World War II, he took a position on its staff. All the young people who knew him held him in deep respect and awe. Sincerely, Lawrence Crich classrooms would severely hamper the education process. 1.n most rural schools, one classroom was converted to a library resource centre and a portable was added to offset the classroom loss. Cochrane added that the establsihment of special education programs has also necessitated Um use of pattable elaizrfo is The leas of portables would have relegated some special education classes to storeraomii and staff rooms at the schools. The board also discussed the possibility of buying used portable classrooms but will wait for a decision on the appeal. DNAEWEFUNERAL G RRANGEMITS i AND MORE.
