The Wingham Advance Times, Novernber 23, l977—Page 3 Grant to MCVA means six jobs for local people A Canada works grant recent awarded to the Maitland Vall Conservation Authority by t Job Creation Branch of t Federal Department of Ma power and Immigration wi result in. 22 weeks of employm for six local people. The tot grant of $23,725 will be divide between field and technical pr jects as outlined in a progra proposal submitted by th Authority in late August of 197 Program Supervisor Neil Elso will oversee the field staff includ ing John Brown of Gorrie, Rand Clarke of Wroxeter, and Terry Deyell of Wingham. Projects t be undertaken by the Federall funded crew will include develop ment of a maple syrup demon stration, woodlot management demolition and removal of an of house located at the Wawanosh Valley Conservation Area, and construction of signs and play ground equipment. ' Craig Piper of Wingham and Marilyn Grainger of Wroxeter have been employed to carry out special technical projects for the Authority. Craig will be respon- sible for the interpretation of infrared photography completed for the Lucknow River Basin Ground Water Study, and will also be involved with ,---the Authority's Erosion Control Assistance Program. Ms. Grainger will be working on various display plans, and will assist with the Authority's public information and outdoor educa- tion programs. Staff from local offices of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food are assisting Conservation Authority staff in planning for the development of a maple syrup demonstration at the 100 acre Maple Keys Sugar Bush in Grey Township. Woodlot improve- ments and construction of an evaporator house are proposed to be carried out with the help of the " Authority's Canada Works crew. School groups will be encouraged to use the site for maple bush studies. and'to visit the sugar shack operation during the spring of 1978. Construction of a second mechanical tree planter is to be completed this winter in an effort to enlarge the Authority's Re- forestation Extension Program. According to Resources Tech- nologist Dave Grummett, MVCA planted about 40,000 trees in 1977. Due to the number of tree plant- ing requests from local land- owners however, available staff and machinery cannot keep up to the demand for trees. As tree orders have already been processed for 1978, expanion of the program will not take ef- fect until the 1979 season.,. Resources Manager Ian Deslauriers is presently arrang- ing meetings with municipal councils to discuss the next stage of a Fill Line Mapping Program for the Maitland River Water- shed. • Fill lines are mapped' . rural areas to identify hazard zones within which landowners -de- velopers would experience hard- ship, while also contributing to ly environmental damage due to de- ey velopment. In addition to identi- he fying watercourses, the fill lines he indicate hazards such as unstable n- slopes, erosion or pollution prone 11 areas, ground water recharge ent areas and •areas susceptible to al flooding, organic soils and d marshlands, and special natural o- habitat zones. m Fill Line maps for member e municipalities were presented to 7. representatives from each coun- n cil during the spring of 1977. Posi- - tive response from these rep - y resentatives has initiated this next step of presenting the Fill o Line Mapping Program idea to y each council individually. - A co-operative program for - safe development could be main- tained .by council and the Con - d servation Authority through a process of checking each building permit request and fill applica- - tion for location with respect to the fill lines mapped. When adopted by council, the Fill Line Mapping Program would then become a regulating tool that would help to ensure consistent wise management of the natural landscape. The Authority held an auction sale in Lower:Town Wingham _during the month of October. The sale produced almost $1,300 from FIVE YEARS OF WORK—Janet Clark received her five year leadership certificate from Grace Bird last Saturday at the 4-H achievement day held at F. E. Madill Secondary School. the auctioning of various building materials that were left following demolition of houses in the Turn - berry Floodplain. Funds raised were used to offset demolition costs. ' Several applications for per- mission to trap on Authority lands have been received at the MVCA office following a recent change in .Ontario Trapping Regulations. Under the new laws enforced by the Ministry of Natural Resources, trappers must have the consent of the landowner in order to copduct any trapping operation. Discussions among members. of the Authority's Reforestation Land Use and Wildlife Advisory Board, and the MVCA Executive Committee have resulted in a de- cision. not to allow trapping on Conservation land, unless any animals become a nuisance to be dealt with under special condi- tions. use the WANTADS WINGHAM 357-2320 Insulate now before you get cold feet Cbld feet like cold hands may indicate a warm heart, • but more than likely they mean a' cold house, and a sure sign of poor insulation.
