The best route
Although no decision has yet been reached, the present ap-
proach by representatives of Wingham and Turnberry councils to
the town's application for annexation of a portion of Turnberry
Township can only be seen as encouraging.
The two councils sat down recently to discuss the sensitive
issue for the first time in several months. Annexation was first pro-
posed by Wingham almost two years ago, but following several
meetings and the appointment of a provincial government fact -
finder, the issue found itself temporarily displaced by the municipal
elections last fall.
The willingness of each council to sit across the table and
negotiate is more than encouraging, it is evidence of their collec-
tive wisdom. That is true even if we were to look at the action bas-
ed solely on its financial impact. Since the annexation process can
be long and drawn out when it is left for government adjudicators to
decide, it stands to reason that costs would be reduced consider-
ably if both sides were to reach agreement somewhere along that
journey.
More important, however, is that negotiation provides the oppor-
tunity for each municipality to maintain its good will with the other.
No one likes to be forced to accept any decision made by another.
Even the "winner" considers the decision a Toss because it does
not reflect all of the demand. The "loser", of course, feels violated.
Should Turnberry and Wingham discover, however, that they
have reached a compromise through negotiation, then each side
feels it has taken the best possible action for the municpalityand,
its residents.
None of the representatives should be taken to task for wanting
the best deal for their municipality. To try for Tess would instead
show a disregard for their elected office. However, almost always,
the "best deal" is one which is reached through negotiation
tough
as it
may
be and
not
adjudication.
Y
While it is true that the Wingham-Turnberry annexation debate
still could be long and drawn out, and even be forced to adjudica-
tion should the negotiators find themselves deadlocked, we en-
courage both sides to continue the dialogue. It is vital to our good
will.
To attract industry, the town needs more land and while the
township has land that is designated for industrial use, it cannot af-
ford to provide the services needed to develop it as such.
Somewhere between these two camps is a compromise, and it is
up to the municipal representatives to negotiate the pathway to that
point.
Say it isn't so
The latest news from Canada Post is enough to make Canadian
citizens want to give up writing letters forever or, at the very least,
entrusting their delivery to the Crown corporation.
We are being asked to get ready for a 1 0 -digit postal code to be
implemented within the next few years, depending on public re-
action and the fine-tuning of technology already in the hands of Ca-
nada Post.
The corporation believes the new system will improve mail de-
livery and cut sorting requirements.
So do we, but not for the same reasons as Canada Post which
also points out that the system would ' be so accurate that all
houses, apartments and businesses will have their own code.
No, we susr5ect that the real reason mail will be easier to sort and
deliver is that there just simply will be far less of it as Canadians re-
fuse to take the time to write in a postal code which takes longer to
get on the envelope than it -did to write the message within.
Pay the piper
Victoria City Council has stepped in to save the British Columbia
Legislature from yet another summer of bagpipe serenades, by
passing a resolution requiring street performers to move at least
two blocks following each three-hour set.
Since 1978, a street musician has been playing the pipes out-
side the legislature every day, weather permitting, but no more.
According to 8C Finance Minister Mel Couvelier, "it'll be a great
relief to all of us in the building."
Who knows, perhaps the city has done the piper a favor in that if
he were to begin at the legislature and \ke p.r loving. 4 h 0c1Cs;a 13
time, he can lead the MLA oft to tyre °dein in
alai t°6 silbliar- to
that of another piper from Hamlin.
