Turnberry council
ec. •08C
'miss • ra
A representative from the
Ontario Ministry of Tourism
and Recreation attended last
week's meeting of Turnberry
council to discuss recreation
grants with members of
township boards and sport-
ing associations.
Melanie McLaughlin also
discussed the implications of
a new municipal accounting
system with Marg Moffatt,
Tim Tolton, Jeff Dickson,
Murray Mulvey, Jack
Jenkins, Gord Chiddicks,
Don Eadie, Pat Evers and
Bob Raper.
"I am not a bad guy," Ms.
McLaughlin started by
saying.
Up until this time the
ministry has not enforced
the accounting system set
down under the Municipal
Act, but she suspects it soon
will.
Under these provisions
local boards and associa-
tions will fall under the
municipality's accounts,
meaning the clerk must
co-sign all cheques. Failure
to do so could result in a
municipality's recreation
grants being cut off.
Mr. Chiddicks asked if
these new, restrictions would
give council more control
over its local boards.
"It's up to the council to
decide what role it will
play," Ms. McLaughlin
replied, but added it should I
not be much of a change.
bers
t system
If a board has money le
over at the end of a year, can
council take that money
away?" asked Mrs. Evers.
Ms. McLaughlin said it is
up to the individual boards to
draw up agreements with
council to ensure the funds
are protected.
Turnberry Deputy Reeve
Doug Fortune agreed,
saying it is important there
be a "binding agreement"
between council and its
boards as councils change
and circumstances change.
Ms. McLaughlin was
asked to address the annual
meeting of the Belmore
Chamber of Commerce in
mid-January to discuss the
grant system.
SUNDAY SPORTS
Mrs. Moffatt and Mr.
Tolton, members of the Blue -
vale Recreation Association,
remained to discuss a com-
plaint about Sunday sports at
the Bluevale ball park.
Some members of the
Bluevale Presbyterian
Church lodged a complaint
last month about sporting
events held during the
normal Sunday morning
worship time.

for grant money from the
Trillium Foundation: The
money would be used for

agencies throughout On-
tario. This submission has
been postponed until next
June for a more thorough
eicamination.
The board recommended
that a more visible sign be
purchased for the office in
Wingham. It also , directed
Mrs. Ydung to obtain cost
estimates for smocks for the
homemakers. The board felt
that,' distinctive smocks,
together with name tags,
would more clearly identify
the '"homemakers . to the
public.
At the close of the meeting

Betty McGregor, distributed
cases of amaryllis bulbs to

as discussed at the
meeting.
Council had received a
complaint from a ratepayer
who was concerned • about
,people using the abandoned
right-of-way . as a track for
their all -terrain vehicles and
"dirt bikes".
Councillor Don Morrison
suggested fencing off the
area at the roadways, but
Mr. Fortune asked if council
had the authority to do so
since the land still is owned
by the railway.
Members .,finally agreed
the only way, to rectify the
situation is if the railway
deeds all lands back to the
adjoining landowners, some-
thing for which Turnberry
council has been lobbying for
some time. A •resolution
,asking that 'the lands be
given back to the landowners
will be sent to the railway
and the member of parlia-
ment. '
