(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) Colborne Township approves crest Colborne Township Coun- cil met in regular session November 2 and approved accounts in the amount of $36,763.09 for payment. In- cluded in this total was an amount of $10,605.85 to the Province of ° Ontario for repayment of drain deben- tures. The township crest, for which a contest was held earlier in the year, is now on hand in its final approved form and in order to give recognition to the three con- testants who were judged to have submitted the three best suggestions, the three winners are to be invited to attend the next council •1 meeting at 7:30 p.m. on November 16 so they can receive their awards. Christopher R. Sims, C.E.T., drainage superinten- dent has advised that the clean-out work has been completed on the Clark Municipal Drain and that on- ly the cutting u and stock piling of timber along the course of the drain remains to be done to ' complete the clean-out work on the Young's Creek Municipal Drain. It is expected that this work will be completed soon. The road superintendent reported that pre -winter work on •the roads is pro- gressing well. Electrical problems are still being en- countered on the Champion 740 grader and it will require attention again. Mrs. Betty Reid of RR 4, Saltford, - member of the Association for the Mentally Retarded, appeared and spoke to council of the Association's concerns about the proposed closure of the Bluewater Centre for the Developmentally Handicap- ped. The Association is con- cerned that such a closure, if implemented, might result in some of the residents be- ing moved into group homes and perhaps in some cases into private homes. Such moves could well result in a reduction in supervision and in less health care and general care and a regres- sion of the individuals' health state. Some of the residents would, no doubt, not be suited to such moves and might well enclAp being institutionalized in larger coMplexes. Council thanked Mrs. Reid for her concerns and her presentation and promised immediate consideration. Members of council later approved a resolution that the Township of Colborne petition the Government of Ontario, namely Premier William Davis; the Honorable Claude Bennett, Minister of Municipal Af- fairs and Housing; the Honorable Frank Drea, Minister of Community and Social Services; Murray Elston, M.P.P.; Jack Rid- dell, M.P.P.; and Murray Cardiff, M.P., that the BlueWater Development Centre for the Handicapped be allowed to continue in its present use, and that the council of the Township of Colborne is opposed to the philosophy for closure of centres for the handicapped as recently announced by the Honorable Frank Drea and that prior to any final deci- sion in : this regard, that public meetings be en- couraged. • In other business, it was decided that the municipal office at Carlow would re- main closed until 1 p.m. on Thursday, November 11, to allow staff to participate in the cenotaph Remembrance Day Services in Goderich. The meeting then adjourn- ed to the next regular meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 16. 1(eepstoultkids intlieir lace. • It's always been it gO((1 ideit. Now its the la \v.
