A Targe crowd of people ranging from pre-schoolers to senior citizens was at the cenotaph to honor the dead. Turnberry and auditors agree R. Dickson on the 1978 audit contract is named to arena board Turnberry Township council finally came to an agreement with its auditors at a meeting Nov, 7 and will sign the 1978 con- tract at council's final meeting of the 23 -month term. Council had earlier asked that a more complete audit be done, including an audit of municipal drain work. Council also asked Steve Mitchell of Monteith and Monteith auditors, Stratford, why figures s ovviug zuuney ow- ing to the township hadn't been brought to council's attention in recent years. Several thousand dollars was owed to the township on munici- pal dram work but former clerk Victor Bakker hadn't billed for the work. Much of the money had been outstanding for several years and hadn't been collected until recently. The money the township was entitled to included provincial grants. Mr. Mitchell told council an audit shows only that money is outstanding, not who owes the money. A municipality has five years to bill for municipal drain work, he said, so some of the work wasn't billed at the time be- cause the former Berk probably wanted .to wait until the figures became more substantial before billing. - The auditor agreed that in the future he will report to council any irregularities found and will also set up a municipal drain schedule for council's informa- tion. The written report to council will also notify council of matters incorrectly handled or areas which could be improved. The 1978 audit will also cover the Bluevale Cemetery Board, the Bluevale Community Hall' Board and the Bluevale Recreat- ion Board books, at council's re- quest. Mr. Mitchell told council that KINDERGARTEN On Friday, Nov. -10 we each made a wreath for Remem- brance Day. Joanne Daerr and Tracey Anne McInnes were chosen to carry the wreath repre- senting our school during assembly for the whole school. GRADE IAND 2 --Group 1 has completed Funny Surprises and is starting Kittens and Bears, If the temperature is 13 de- grees C do you need a coat? Ask grade 2. They know the answer. We have 2 goldfish in our room and are busy watching them grow. GRADE 3 AND 4 The main event this week in our room happened to Grade 4. Grade 4 joined Grades 5 and 6 for a trip to Goderich. There they visited the Huron County jail and Pioneer Museum. Many interest- ing hits of information were brought back to class. Grade 3 had to work all week. GRADES 4, 5, and 6 On Thursday, Nov. 9 the Grades 4, 5, 6 went to Goderich to visit the Goderich Jail and the Goderich Museum. These classes have been study- ing the growth of Huron County all drain work to be billed to the township roads department must be billed in the year the work is done, even if the amount is an estimate. He instructed council to pay all outstanding bills at its Nov. 21 meeting so the debts wouldn't extend past the 1977-78 council term. In other business council re- ceived Ontario Municipal Board approval for the Lower Town street light project. Council Plans to have Ontario Hydro install new lights and replace troublesome old street lights. Four new lights will be installed and 11 old lights will be replaced. Estimated cost of the project is $4,590. The work is to start immediately. Council decided to take advan- tage of the Huron County tree planting program, as G. Merk- ley, S. Campbell and Alexander Fair applied to have trees plant- ed on their property. Fifty per cent of the cost will be billed to the landowners, council decided, while the township will take the rest of the cost. Council decided it wouldn't endorse a severance application by Joe Moir, stating that the severance would be prohibited by the township secondary plan now in development. Mr. Moir was seeking permis- sion to retain one acre of his 100 - acre farm and sever the other 99. acres. He intended to build a re- tirement home on the lot. At secondary plan preparation meetings, input from council members and the public indicat- ed ndicated a wish to restrict severances. In place of severances for retir- ing farmers or -sons or daughters wanting to build a home on the corner of a farm, council decided it would promote the use of long term leases. In other business council de - Sacred Heart Mailbox from the time it was called the Huron Tract when John Galt went from Guelph to Goderich. With 1979 being Wingham's Centennial the classes are very interested in the early settlement in Wingham and its growth. We are hav ng lots of fun with this topic. We found this trip very exciting thanks to Mrs. Marklevits, Mrs. Smits, Mrs. Belanger and Mr. Montgomery for going with us on this trip. GRADES 7 AND 8 Grade seven and eight, along with the rest of Sacred Heart School participated in a Remem- brance Day service and following that the Eucharist. The guest speaker was Mr. Milosevic a teacher at the R. E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham. Mr. Milosevic related to us what it was like during the war years. Anne Kernahan and Natalie Campeau read poems about Remembrance Day. Father Hardy of Clinton said the mass and the music was provided by; Vickie Belanger, Natalie Campeau, Sharon Mar- tin, Anne Kernahan, Shirley Marklevitz and Rita Brophy with the help of Mrs. Day, feated a motion which called for the road superintendent to make an open ditch along the west side of Duncan Street in Bluevale to the catch basin at the intersec- tion of Duncan and Queen streets. The motion also proposed that property owners along Duncan Street be charged for the work under the gate entrance bylaw. At its Oct. 23 meeting council decided it had wasted enough time talking about the project and said it would take no action on eliminating flooding in the Duncan Street area until residents presented a petition asking for a drain. • Council approved its annual grant to the Turnberry Township Federation of Agriculture, giving the group $600, the same amount as last year. Council also ap- proved a $75 donation to the Blue - vale Cemetery Board. The township will again hire Hugh LaFay as a sales tax con- sultant. Mr. LaFay checks town- ship books and finds sales tax payments the township shouldn't have paid. In return for his ser- vices Mr. LaFay will be guaranteed 25 per cent of the tax- es he finds.
