Present budget for care centre by Wilma Oke A budget of $38,970 for the ranastra Day Care Centre was pprovcd for 1976 by Tucker- mith Township Council Tucs- lay night. Robin Gates, who was on the )ay Care Board last year, pre- ented the budget to council. He said that if the Day Care 'entre could maintain an enrol- ment of 24 children for 1976 the 1eficit would be held at $1,554 for he township to pay. The pro- ,incial government would pick up :he other 80 percent of the def - cit amounting to $6,270. Karen McEwing, supervisor of the Centre, said there are 24 part time children enrolled at the present time. ' A ten per cent increase in salaries for the three employees was approved; raising the super- visor's salary to $8,800, the assistant's to $7,700 and the teacher's salary to $6,270. The proposed benefits for the three employees were turned down when council agreed the centre employees would have thc .same benefits as other township employees - vacation time of two weeks after one year's service up to 10 years and sick leave of one day a month. Council does not pay OHIP fees and frowned on paying for courses taken by Day Care employees to upgrade their training. Alarmed by a very large def- icit in recreation costs at Van- astra, council conditionally accepted a proposed Recreation Parks and Community Centre budget of $115,380 and requir- ing that advertising and administ- rative expenses be pared as "the budget seems to be over optimistic." Council refused to divulge the amount of the Vanastra recreation deficit to the press, and Wilfred Schneider and Har- old Whitlock who presented the budget, were careful not to re- veal figures to the press when they handed copies to council members. ;itizens News, January 28176 - Page 9 Last month's column dealt with the purpose and function of a conservation authority; how it k established and how mem- bers arc appointed, and gave a brief history of the Ausahlc- 13ayfield Conservation Authority. AUTHORITY PROGRAMS Since an authority's purpose and function is to carry out a program for the wise use and management of the renewable naturaI resources within its arca of jurisdiction, its overall program is broken down into different resource categories: water control: conservation areas: land use planning: forestry. fish and wildlife: and conservation services, which includes the assistance programs to landown- ers such as tree planting. erosion control. and farm tree replacc- ment. ORGANIZATION 111 order to consider. approve. and direct individual projects and programs within these resource categories, the Authority's 35 members sit on a number of advisory boards and committees, such as I-h)od C'onlrol and Vallcy- lauds. Reforestation. Wildlife and Land llse. i(lueaIinn and Inf0rnutli(n. and Land Acquisi- tion and Management, to name four out of the seven. '('hese hoards and committees slake recommendations to the Executive ('onnli11ee which is composed or the chairmen of e:tc•h a(Ivitinry conu110Itt, three member, at large, the post chairman. and the chairman of the Authority who is elected by the ni':nthcr', The 1•:xccufive ('onuniltee k in charge of the month -lo -month business of Ilhe Authority but tnusl meennlnlen(' the adoption of new• projects and programs to a meeting of all Authority mem- hers. The members in turn arc expected to keep their respective councils informed or the Author- ity's program and plans. FiNANC'ES Money is required of course to curry out the approved program of the Authority ( 'a total of 4614,000 in 1975). This money comes mainly from two sources with the possibility of assistance from a third. Most of the funds, from 70-75%,, come from the Ontario ministry of Natural Resources in the form of grants for projects approved by the Minister. The remaining 25-30%, called the Authority's share, is normally raised by a levy on thc member municipal- ities, in the same way that boards of education levy each municipal- ity in the county. For special projects, such as a large and important land acqui- sition, funds are sometimes obtained by private donations form foundations (The Nature Conservancy of Canada for example), large companies, and interested individuals. These donated funds pay for the Author- ity's share of a project, and allow an authority to carry out these special projects without placing a heavier burden on the municipal levy. For projects that will benefit only certain municipalities, such as the Walker Drain erosion control project, a special bene- fiting levy is paid by the munic- ipality or municipalities involved. RECREATION One of the more visible on- going programs of the Authority is the development and improve- ment of facilities provided for the public in its ten conservation areas throughout the watershed. All these recreation areas are open for use all year, but in the winter the internal roads and parking lots are not plowed. At the Parkhill Conservation Area, however, winter sports are being encouraged. There are over 10 miles of groomed snow- mobile trails, and 3 miles of cross- country ski trails. There is an excellent toboggan hill and work has been started on a skating rink. Upon request, the barn can be made available for group use (i.e. skiers, toboggan parties,etc.) Kccp an eye out for notices announcing the Parkhill Winter Fun Day coming up in February for the entire watershed com- munity. Please, snowmobile cnthti,- iasts. keep to the marked and designated trails and respect areas where snowmobiles are prohibited. Parkhill is just one conservation area - lhcrc are many more in the watershed where fun, enjoy- ment and appreciation for the natural environment can be l'ound. Get out and enjoy the winter - the beauty of nature is practically at your doorstep. Restraints delay water for Dashwood Provincial spending restraints are apparently responsible for a delay in the proposed water system for the police village of Dashwood. Stephen township clerk Wilmar Wein told the News this week that the municipality hasn't "heard a word" from Ontario Ministry of the Environment officials since early last fall regarding the water program. Wein continued, "We were told early last year that there would be no money available in the' 1975 budget and the situation for 1976 was not too sure. In October the township received a request from some residents along Highway 83 to hook onto the line which would service Dashwood from the Lake Huron intake plant. At that time, the township's engineering firm B. M. Ross of Goderich wrote to the Ministry asking about progress on the proposed water system and to this date a reply has not been re- ceived. The Stephen clerk said he received a copy of a recent letter from Ontario treasurer Darcy McKeough to the Ontario Muni- cipal Board asking that body to approve water, sewer and re- creation projects on a very strict priority basis. Quiet at pinery Five general occurrences were investigated during the week by officers of the Pinery Park Ontario Provincial Police detachment. Saturday, January 24, Con- stable R. L. Hodge investigated a minor accident on Woodward Street, Grand Bend, involving vehicles driven by William Jennison, and Francis Perrin, both of Grand Bend. Total damage was estimated at $75.
