FILM D1106LOPINIG GODERICH SIGNAI,,.STAR, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1984 -PAGE 9 PUC grants disability status to employee BY PATRICK RAMIS The Goderich Public Utilities Commission (PUC) has granted permanent partial disability status to a PUC employee, despite the objection of Mayor Eileen Palmer. After discussions spanning several months, the commission approved the application, under the Omers Type 3 supplementary clause included in employees' contracts. Approval was originally given at a committee of the whole meeting, held earlier this year. It was ratified after the commission voted to approve the minutes of the committee meeting, at their October 18, regular session. At Mayor Palmer's request, a recorded vote on the minutes was held and the minutes were passed by a vote of 4 to 1, with only the Mayor dissenting. Mayor Palmer objected to the granting of disability status on the grounds that Omers Type 3 supplementary benifits are paid by the taxpayer. She said that the commission had other options available that would have enabled the applicant to receive benifits paid by an insurance company. In a letter to the PUC, which she read at the meeting, Mayor Palmer said, "I support insurance employee benefits paid by insurance, i.e. LTD, however, I do not support employee benefits paid by the taxpayer as is the case with Omers Type 3 supplementary criteria determined by the employer (PUC)." Two PUC employees have previously been granted this type of compensation, but the Mayor feels thiawas a mistake. "Past PUC employees who retired under Omers Type 3 did not receive the knowledgeable approval of past _ commissions, but rather through culpable ignorance and I use that term respectfully," said Mayor Palmer. She also expressed concern that the decision will set a precedent for this type of benefit payment. "To grant the applicant his request is establishing policy and commits the PUC to honor all such requests hereafter. We as a commission recognize that there are a number of employees who could qualify under said PUC policy and whether we care to admit it or not, we are committing hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars for years to come," she said, "To support the commission's decision to grant the applicant his request to retire under Omers Type 3 supplementary, as Mayor of Goderich I would be disbursing irresponsibly taxpayer dollars and betraying the trust of the electorate. I do not support the commission's decision and let the records reflect the same" she added. Under Omers Type 3, an employee receives 50 per cent of his regular salary, paid by the taxpayer; while under the LTD policy the same employee would receive two-thirds salary, paid by insurance. The Mayor was absent from the committee meeting, at which the controversial decision was made after consulting with legal representatives from the Omers organization. Liberals back Elston Huron -Bruce Liberals acclaimed Murray Elston as their candidate in the next provin- cial election at a nomination meeting held in Lucknow. Elston hasbeen the riding's representative at Queen's Park for the past three and one-half years. He will face Norma Peterson of the New Democrats and Bill Thomson of the Con- servatives. Elston's nomination was unanimous and there were no other nominations. In accepting the nomination Elston told about 250 Liberals at the Lucknow Com- munity Centre, he wants to continue to serve the people of Huron -Bruce as he has done during his term at the Ontario legislature. He said the appreciation from the people of the riding for the work he has done and their support has encouraged him to seek the Huron -Bruce seat again. He said the ridings in this area have a tradition of sending peo- ple to the legislature who want to work for the betterment of the individuals. "As good as we have it here, there are always ways to make it better," he com- mented. Elston said he wants to speak up for farmers. He wants to make sure that area farmers are no longer,.at a disadvantage when marketing their . 'roducts, because of programs in other provinces which sub- sidize farmers' cost of production, giving them a competitive edge in the marketplace. We produce as good as any other farmers in the country and we cannot continue without government support, he said. 'We have been struggling to get the ear of the "asphalt farmer' and we have to fight long and hard with people so firmly entren- ched as this government is," said Elston, referring to the Minister of Agriculture Den- nis Timbrell and his Conservative col- leagues in the Tory caucus. Elston also intends to help people who do not have the opportunity to work. He said he was pleased to see the release of $3.5 million in BILD funding for the steam pipeline to serve the Bruce Energy Centre. Elston said the pipeline has the potential to develop industrial diversification in the riding. Elston said he is also committed to the development of programs to foster growth of fuel alcohol production. The Huron -Bruce MPP said he wants to help people expand their dreams, so young people can work in the riding. Elston said Premier William Davis only consults his cabinet colleagues and his REAP MORE BENEFITS WITH A USED COMBINE FROM YOUR IH DEALER WAIVER OF FINANCE TO JUNE 1, 1985 PLUS 9.9% FINANCING IN 1440 0145 HP axial flow w/cab, AM/FM radio, 23.1x28 tires, preclaanar asp. auto hdr. 900 hours. 03525 248,000 IH 1440 0 w/cab, air, radio, shaft monitors & auto. hdr. att. 1488 hours 038287 . 141,600 AC a 60 HP w14 cel. 0 eng., w/2R c.h. & 12' g h. 049001 .. . . . . 16,600 MF 399 0 86 HP w/13' dir. cut h. & p/u reel. 0110066 17,600 MF 360 085 HP w/FCB & St. Chop. 047888 18,600 Whits 646 0 90 HP wlcab, 18.4x26 tires, wl4RW c.h. & 12' g.h. 035866. . . 8,600 IH 403 96 HP less cab, 18.4x28, bin ext, spike cyl , 7.50108, straw chopp. w/pu & g.h. 036097 28,900 JO 6600 0 115 HP 049152 . 113,800 IH 116 0 130 HP wlcab, air, 23.1x28 tires, 13' g,h. w/bat reel. 744 4 RW c.h. & g. loss monitor. *1835 219,996 111 115 0 130 HP w113' g.h. & 4 RN c.h.

The pur- chase of Suncor was made by four people. The Ontario treasurer at the time, Frank Miller, was against the purchase, but Davis bought it anyway, said Elston. Davis pur- chased a $10 -million executive jet without consulting his colleagues. If he really gets desperate he will ask the electorate what they think, observed Elston.
