She said the board hopes to be out of the red by the end of the year without service cuts, and alio is aiming to improve its public relations by sending summaries of its activities to the various municipal councils. Ross Taylor, who represents the township on the Maitland Valley Conser- vation Authority, said he hadn't prepared a report, but he offered to field any questions. In response to an invitation from Councillor John Currie to describe some of the things the township is getting in return for the levy it pays, Mr. Taylor noted the conser- vation authority is looking after the Wawanosh Valley Park and : also has been planting a lot of trees on the land it owns at Wawanosh Valley. He estimated that last year the MVCA did about $6,000 worth of work in East Wawanosh, double the township's $3,000 levy. "How come there's less wildlife back there now than before the Maitland Valley owned it?" John Gaunt inquired. I Mean natural wildlife, not the two -legged wildlife," he added. • Mr. Taylor admitted the deer population is down, but said hopefully there will be more around once the reforestation has been completed. Jim McGee inquired why the MVCA is going to all the trouble to plant more shrubs to increase the partridge population for hunters from the cities. "They don't do anything for us." However Councillor Ralph Campbell pointed out that a sizeable percentage of the funding for conservation projects comes from the provincial government, so it isn't just local people who are supporting these projects. COUNCILLORS' REPORTS Mr. Campbell went on to report on his activities as a councillor during the past term. Between municipal ditches and severances, he said, it was an exciting two years. "You put a lot of flak onto council about severances, but it's not us who are asking for severances, it's farmers, and if it's helping them out that's what we try to do." Mr. Currie, who like Mr. Campbell is not standing for reelection to council this fall, said he hopes never to see towns sprawled out here like he saw on a recent trip west. "We need to bear down on severances and planning if we're going to look after the next ,generation of farmers coming along," he com- mented, noting the township has made a start on its secondary plan through a series of house meetings. He explained, he's not running again because between the school board and council, "I've been here 10 years," and he wanted to give someone else a chance to serve. Neil Vincent, who ll be returning to counc for another term, describ e new alignment of lee Belgrave recreation bdard and said he is very happy it has been able to smooth over a lot of problems and to get the support of the com- munity behind it. Jim Hunter, at that time council's newest member. (since then, following a r • ting second nomination period, he 1.4.4 been joined on the incoming ,council by Donald Sclaul pi. RR 3, Blyth, and Ja� '"'gylor of RR S, Wi ain);;� was offered a chance to speak, but reported he had nothing yet to say. CANDIDATES FOR F REEVE Donald °iaow, a councillor who is'running for reeve in this election, reported on the Wingham fire board and the Blyth arena board, com- mentinrhat he found the Blytharena ''an expensive Tattle pl� r. Like a 'arenas it's costly, to operate, he noted, and it could have been engineered better, as not putting panes ft an the bottoms of doo''r kids' skates go thro m. He said, the township 4'uld expect to be approa, M.' .regularly for contriblitions toward the aren&soperating deficit.' Mr. Dow said there were a few things he didn't like duringthe past year, and he disagreed with Reeve Simon Hallahan on some issues. ' However he didn't specify what they wereand was not questioned about them. He also said he would "like to take a shot" at county council., Mr. Hallahan congratu- lated Mr. Dow on running against him and said' he doesn't know what's' gone wrong that . not more are runningfor council, although he added, "It's a thankless job." He said he's been told that if people want regional government, the best way to get it is not to show any in- terest in elections. He said said he thinks "there is a place for severances and not a place for them," but if he is re- elected, "that'll be my stand: no more severances." Turnberry Rasp its secondary plan Turnberry Township Council officially passed the seeond draft of its secondary plan during its general meet- ing last week. The plan will be forwarded to Huron County'Council for approval. The project, which began in 1978, sets outllfrections for the township- when con- sidering change, growth and development within its boundaries. Turnberry ratepayers as- sisted council in creating the plan by attending public meetings. The plan will help in guiding land -use patterns for the township and en- suring that development corresponds with the goals of the township and with the county plan. A severance application submitted by William J. Armstrong for Lot 15 and 16, Con. 1 of Turnberry Town- ship, was not recommended for approval because the council felt it did not con- form to the secondary plan. The application called for the severance of a surplus dwelling and the creation of a new lot. Council awarded a maximum of $1,000 to John Norman for his claim under the Livestock and Poultry Protection Act. Mr. Norman submitted a claim after his 1,100 pound heifer, valued at , MRS. ALLAN GRtFFTTH 11,200, was killed by dogs. Turnberry Township received an invoice from the town of Wingham for its share of work done on the Turnberry B -Line and Arthur Street. The town- ship's cost share is $3,562.50 and the invoice states the account may be paid at the convenience of the township. Council decided to defer the account to a future meeting so that it would be considered by the new council. Turnberry originally had asked Wingham to delay work on the B -Line because tunas for the project had not been included in the town- ship's 1980 budget. A Letter was received from Huron County stating that the Huron County Tree Planting Program has been disbanded for 1981 and future years, and the 20 -year agree-. ment with the McBurneys has been released after complaints were submitted regarding the low survival rate of the trees. An invoice from the county for payment of trees planted under the McBurney and Horsburgh agreement amounted to $518.86. Turn - berry is responsible for 50 per cent of this cost, with the remainder being paid by the owners.

In other business the clerk - treasurer was instructed to put all Canadian Vanities Inc. business taxes into small claims court for collection and send a letter to file an execution with the sheriff's office in Goderich. Apparently the corporation's business taxes have not been paid since 1978: Amount owing is $783.16 for. 1978, $668.67 for 1979, and $764.32 for 1980, plus interest and penalty charges.

He's been married to his wife for 45 years, he added, and it's about time they get out and enjoy themselves. e TAXES, ROADS QUERIED Why are townshiptaxes up so far above the inflation rate for the past year? former' reeve Roy Pattison queried when the meeting was thrown open for discussion. He said all the blame couldn't be put on the school taxes, since the town- ship portion was up even more than the school portion. He was told that township costs on things such as roads have been going up, and that one reason for the big jump this year is that the township didn't raise its taxes last year. "We're in 'a badsituation here because we don't have the population and how are we going to pay for every- thing?"Mr. Hanna noted. "1 don't think the day will ever come when we'll be able to give the services without high taxes," Mr. Hallahan added. Mr. Campbell seized the opportunity to ask the rate- payers how they felt about switching to two tax billings per year from one, noting the township pays a lot of in.: Wrest asa result of having only one tax collection. Hower 'the question went unanswered.
