' What a better way to send kids to
camp than a Spa-a-thon?
That's exactly what CKNX Ra-
dio did. Spa-a-thon '95 on March 4
was held at Kelsey's in owen
Sound for 12 hours. AM 920
CKNX-Radio's Matt O'Neill was
on site for the 12 hour event along
with co-workers Adam Taylor and
Rick Zacharewicz, marketing reps,
and the AM 920 Country Dance
Party line dance instructor Tanya
McLeod. Each team member spent
30 minutes at a time in the hot tub
from 9:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m.
The spa, donated by Rintoul Pool
and Spa, Owen Sound, was situated
on the patio outside of Kelsey's on
Highway 26.
1994 showed a profit of $3,500
and the goal for '95 was $4,000.
With the help of CKNX Radio,
$9,000 was raised. That is more

than double last year's efforts.
All proceeds are used to send
kids to Rotary Camp in owtn
Sound this summer. The project
was started last year by two area
husinesses whose interests were in
fundraising to help others. The des-
tination of the funds raised changes
each year hut will always stay with
non-profit organizations.
Teeswater; be part of future planning
The Village of Teeswater is be-
ing urged to become part of the
planning process for the future of
Bruce County.
Barb Fisher, manger of the South
Bruce Community Futures Com-
mittee, attended the March 13
meeting of village council to bring
members up to date on a number of
upcoming initiatives aimed at en -
Wittig
submits
retirement
notice
Wingham police chief Robert
Wittig submitted his letter of intent
to enter into retirement at the
monthly meeting of the Wingham
Police Services Board.
The chief will be retiring from
the Wingham Police Services on
Dec. 1, 1996, but will be taking a
lot of time off, using up his accu-
mulated days off, between Sept. 1
1995 and his official retirement
day.
During his time off beginning in
September, deputy chief Jim Dore
will be in charge.
The board also accepted the res-
ignation of part-time constable Sid
Adams. His resignation is effective
Sept. I, 1995.
suring a prosperous and productive
future for the county.
The committee is in the process
of distributing "Bruce 2005" ques-
tionnaires to 39,500 households in
the county. Once they have been re-
turned and the results tabulated,
Fisher said, they will become the
basis for the start of the strategic
planning process for Bruce.
The questionnaire is meant to
give an overview of the strengths
and weaknesses of the community
as it heads toward the year 2005.
While official plans outline poli-
cies for land -use, Fisher explained,
strategic plans take into considera-
tion the wants and needs of the resi-
dents of the community. Fisher said
strategic plans are developed by
consultants, the result of a series of
public meetings, but can be expen-
sive. That is why she is strongly
suggests that Teeswater and several
other municipalities in the south
end of the county opt for funding
under a joint strategic plan. •
"The jobsOntario Community
Action Fund will pay up to 50 per -
cent of a strategic plan," said Fish-
er. However, she said, if municipal-
ities were to combine forces to ap-
ply for the grant, they might be
more apt to receive funding than if
each proceeded individually.
Fisher said she is a strong believ-
er in strategic planning. "You set
out a priority list for capital expen-
ditures in the future...1 strongly be-
lieve in them (strategic plans). It
puts everything on the table."
East Wawanosh Township
Sturdy Drain report adopted
The Sturdy Drainage Works, Main Drain Improvement, 1995 report
was adopted by council at its regular monhtly meeting on March 7.
Council will sit as a court of revision on at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, April
4.
Tenders for the drain will close at 4 p.m. on Monday, April 3. Tend-
ers will be accepted, conditional to the court of revision regarding the
report.
Road subsidy
Council was advised at its March 7 meeting that the township's road
subsidy for 1995 will be $212,200, with a total supported expenditure of
5286,000.
Roads superintendent Ralph Campbell said the township has to spend
$286,000 in order to get the 1995 allocation from the provincial govern-
ment. The 1994 allocation was $215,400.
The township received its final infrastructure monies in the amount of
549,135.06, finalizing the Potter Bridge project. Council received a total
of $149,954.65 in infrastructure grants, which was 100 per cent of what
the township applied for.
Coucil approved a supplementary allocation of 585,000 to be used for
a salt shed and storage area. The proposed expenditures for 1995, in the
amount of $345,400 was adopted by council.
Morris Township briefs
Proctor agreement signed
George Procter was on hand at the Morris Township council meeting
on March 7 to sign the Procter Agreement between the township and
Bodmin Farms.
The agreement will be registered on the title with the cost of registra-
tion.being charged to Bodmin Farms. In signing the agreement, George
Procter said he was satisfied with the agreement on the property. All the
conditions were fulfilled.
The agreement will be finalized when a survey has been completed
and submitted to council.
Pecuniary interests
When a member of Morris Township council declares a pecuniary in-
terest with an item on the agenda, they will now have to leave the coun-
cil chamber.
Councillor John Duskocy made the motion at the March 7 meeting of
council. It passed 2-1. Before the introduction of Bill 163, declaring a
pecuniary interest was up to the individual councillor. Now they are re-
quired to declare their interest in the item on the agenda.
Councillor Keith Johnston all the councillor did before was sit in the
gallery, They could not vote, and they were not allowed to say anything
on the matter.
Recreation grant
Moms Township approved the $10,579 grant to the Township of
Morris Recreation Account.
Morris Township cou__% it also received a letter from Grey Township
council regarding 1hE-6pproval of the Brussels -Morris -Grey Community
Centre Board's budget for 1995.
She also suggested that there will
come a day when municipalities
must have a plan in place in order
to receive government funding.
Fisher also presented Teeswater
council with an in-depth communi-
q profile of the village, compiled
through material gathered during
the 1991 general census.
Thq 40 -page document outlines
virtually everything there is to
• know about Teeswater, from its
weather, to its population demo-
graphics to community facilities.
She said council could put the vil-
lage logo on the front of the pack-
age and use it as promotional mate-
rial for the municipality.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Fisher also called upon members
of council to act as ambassadors for
the Bruce Community Develop-
ment Corporation.
Incorporated in 1986, this feder-
ally -funded hank originally was
meant to help cushion the impact
felt by a declining construction
workforce at the Bruce Nuclear
Power Development.
Although Teeswater was not in
the original catch -area of the corpo-
ration, it has been since 1991.
The corporation approves loans
of up to $75,000 for small business
development. It has just under $3.8
million in loans, said Fisher, and
has lost less than $50,000, which
she considers a very good record.
"We (the corporation) have busi-
nesses in Teeswater," she contin-
ued. adding that the program assists
small businesses in planning, book-
keeping and quarterly reports.
