Home My WebLink AboutThe Blyth Standard, 1981-01-14, Page 1WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1981 BLYTH, ONTARIO, PRICE: 30 Cents Volume 90 • No. 2 Emergency van slated here An emergency van will be available to the residents in the Blyth and area fire department area this spring. The purchase of a 14 -foot step van is the first move in establishing an emergency van for the area. The van will be received in April through Hamms Car Sales said fire Captain Jim Howson. The vehicle will alleviate a crowding problem on the fire trucks. Some items, like the cascade system which fills the firemen's air masks and tanks, now has to be left in the fire hall. Other items are stored on the tanker truck which could prove to be a problem if the tanker is away being filled and some of the equipment stored on it is needed back at the site of a fire. It was learned at Blyth council this month that volunteer firemen have turned down a pay increase in order that extra funding may be funnelled into updating equipment to better serve the community. wages tor the department amount to 57,000 per year with firemen earning about SS per hour. Blyth council is sending a letter of commendation to the volunteer firemen through the Fire Area Board. The fire levy for Blyth of S4,750 for 1981 is up from $4,180. Sixty per cent is due now and the remaining S1.900 due July 1 or on demand. Blyth's portion represents 19 per cent of the total budget. Hullett pays 27 per cent and the rest is shared with Morris, East and West Wawanosh townships. The cost for firecalls has been increased from $100 to S175 per hour, which is paid by the township . If there is a deficit at the end of the year. the amount is covered by the levy portioned out to each township according to service. 10% increase Across the board in Blyth Blyth councillors voted themselves a ten per cent increase at last Monday night's council meeting despite protests by new councillor Bill Manning. While discussing increases Mr. Manning suggested that council follow the lead of the local firemen and not take an increase but in a recorded vote, his motion was defeated. Other councillors explained that lo deny themselves an incre ase would sound reasonable but in the future when they finally did vote for a raise it would be a hefty one to keep them in par with councils of their size. By comparison Brussels council last week set salaries with a $100 increase. The reeve receives 51.200 and councillors 51.000. Blyth's reeve is now paid 51.300, up from 51,100 and councillors will receive S9001 up from 5800, The ta;S i^.:re:.:,+.• .vi% in 1979. Fees were set for the PUC chairman and commissioners. The chairman will receive $700 for the year, ufrom $600 a ' the two THINK POSITIVE --With all the recent snow Blyth and area has received, residents have to look to the positive side to get through the winter. Rather than print frustrated people digging out from under, we thought a few snow scenes would be better received. Spring Is only 67 days away. (Photo by Hamilton) commissioners will receive 5650 as opposed to 5550 previously. Salaries for village employees were set at an earlier meeting in December. The clerk's rate was increased from 516,000 to 518.000 with 5300 for car allowance plus mileage and benefits which include OHiP. The town foreman Mery Ritchie. is on a salary of Please turn to page 10 The higher fire call rate means that users pay for the service as opposed to runnir.g a higher deficit and using the levy method of financing. The increase of rates has little to do with the funding of the van but covers increased costs of fire work. In the near future the department plans to install extractive equipment for accidents. The van will also hold oxygen equipment. All firemen are trained in first aid procedures through the St. Johns Ambulance first aid courses. Many are trained to do GPR (cardio pulmonary resuscitation). In the past, the fire department has been called to emergencies that involve a heart attack victim or an accident where someone is injured. As Mr. Howson pointed out, Blyth is about 20 minutes to a half hour from an ambulance centre which can be too late for a heart attack victim. Accidents in bad weather Snow and unsettled weather conditions have made for some tricky driving recently. Lloyd Weber was driving a 1980 G.M. picked up 11,4 mike south of Blyth on January 12 and swerved to avoid a north bound t, Mr. Weber's vehicle wentt�off the highway. hitting a sign. On January 11, in front of the Grandview Restaurant Tom Creeden driving a 1976 Ford van and Len Rooney driving a 1975 Pontiac collided with each other. A GMC Jimmy. driven by Frank Wilson,struck a parked 1968 Plymouth owned by Mike Gerrits on Wednesday, January 7. south of Londesboro. One hour later a 1973 Ford driven by John Spence struck a 1978 Dodge driven by Greg Maize in the same location south of Londesboro. MI the above were in- vestigated by the Goderich OPP and damages were under 5400. There were no injuries in these accidents. No charges have been laid according'to Wingham OPP in the accident Friday involving Bill Bromley and Ken Siertscma on Dinsley Street, Blyth. Mr. Bromley was driving a 1977 Datsun which sustained 5800 damage and there was 5980 damage to the 1975 Oldsmo- bile. driven by Mrs Siert- sema. les. There were no injur- Blyth snowmobilers avoid trespassing'' The weather has been excellent this year for snow- mobile enthusiasts but with changes in the trespass act many will have to exercise more care where. they drive their machines. The local snowmobile club, the Blyth Snow Travellers, has obtained permission from landowners to build and maintain a number of trails. The Blyth club has access to over 50 miles of groomed trails that are open to mem- bers. But anyone coming from out of the area and wanting access to those trails may obtain permission and pay S5 for access. Land owners art now re- quired under the "new tres- pass act" to keep their land reasonably safe. An exampk of this would be a land owner who is surrounded by wilder- ness deciding it was reason• ably safe not to fence his land whereas it would seem quite unreasonabk for a con- struction Arm to not fence in one of its sites to protect the curious. The previous law dis- couraged' owners of rural land from permitting recrea- tional activities on their land because they feared beim sued by permitted entrants who might Injure themselves. Now those wing Torii lead for their recreation are re- sponsible for their own safe- ty. A new marking system has been set up which indicates who can use the land from hikers to hunters and fisher- men, even snow mobilers. But there are still areas if unmarked that are not to be entered without permission. The . include "a lawn; an orchard; a vineyard; pre- mises on which trees have been planted and have .not attained an average height of more than six feet; woodlots on land used primarily for agriculture; and enclosed in a manner that indicates the occupier's intention to keep persons off the premises or to keep animals on the premise." as outlined by the Ministry of the Attorney General. Please turn to page 5 Shed over budget There was a bit of explaining to be done at Blyth council last week. A bill of 52,584 was presented to council for moving angthe fixing of a' shed out at the sanitation site, south of Blyth. At a December meeting Art Wright, site superinten- dent. approached council about having some sort of sound shelter at the site. He had an addition to a house being pulled away which he assured council would be ideal if moved to the site and dosed in on the one end. Council reviewed the cost d $500 to Mr. Wright for the building and toot into consideration the coact of moving and repairs and planned to spend close to 51,000 to be shared equally with Hulett township. Mr. Wright commented that the site looks more "respect. abk" and council got a far better deal then they had planned with such a sound building. Council didn't question the increased value of the build. •ing but felt it had been mislead. Hullett council is to be contacted with an expla- nation of the increased costs, Hullett had already approved 5250 to put towards the cost d the. building, Bilis included new alumi- num siding, three new win. doves and flooring. The mat- ter was left to be discussed with Hulett. 2 — THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 14, 1981 New books dedicated at Blyth United At Blyth United Church, on the table in the Narthex is a Book of Memory, in which is recorded Memorials which have been given to the church or purchased with money bequeathed to the church in memory of church members. The latest entry is Song books. These have been "in the making" for several months now. and replace the well- worn song sheets that have been in use for a number of \ears. The books can have pages added at any time, and having been printed on the ,hurch's duplicator, from hand -typed steniils, new pages will match the present ones. The Covers are blue, with the title "Praise the Lord," and the books will remain in the pews. They were used tor the first time an Jan. 11th. and Rev. Wittich led in & prayer of dedication prior to the hymn- sing that included "Thank '•`You, Lord. on this day." "Our Joy is in the Know- ledge that God's Love has been Revealed." and "Only Believe." Bert Fear and John Blake are the elders greeting wor- shippers this month. and ushers this week were Marg Caldwell. Jim and Thelma Wilson. The anthem was "God is Waiting in the Silence." The sermon "Meaning in Life" was based on Psalm '3. (Read it.) Where is justice in the life of a Christian? This question rushes to the fore when tragedy strikes a family. Often we see people who love wordly plcasurers having a better life than Christians do, and that makes Faith hard to hang on to. The old Testament taught punishment and reward. Je- sus didn't. He never promis- ed material abundance to the good, or that they'd be free of disease. He gave us a 'broader concept of God's dealings with His people. He did promise that God is always with us, to watch over us, and He counts on our love and trust. Christ suffered and was tempted. He had -no material security. Why? Suf- fering and death are not the end. We must live by Faith, knowing we get our reward in Heaven. Things unseen arc eternal. Don't be a stranger BY REV.

There is, however, another quite punting group: the healthy resident of the com- munity who showed great interest at one time but has simply "dropped out."

On motion of James Lawrie and Russell Cook, Albert Wasson was appointed the new Chairman. Janice Henry was present: explaining to the Committee the problems of the heating system, she stated that Chris Borgal, architect. and Town Council had procured some- one from the heating instal - lers and they had spent all day Tuesday working on it. The Committee hopes that the heating system is now operating satisfactory and that activities at the hall will be back to normal. There was some discussion about the size of the posts in the hall basement. It was suggested that the members take it back to their respect- ive organizations to see if there was as many legitimate complaints as is voiced around. since there will be 51000/51500 expenses incur- red by changing the size of the posts. It was moved by Harvey McDowell,seconded by Jam- es Lawrie, that the name of this division of the Recreat• ion Committee he called. "The Blyth Memorial Hall Committee." If anyone has any complaints or praises about the Hall. feel free to join us the last Monday of each month at 8 p.m. at the old library meeting room. The members of the Re- creation Committee express- ed thanks to past chairman George Hubbard. who had resigned at the. end of the past year. Mr. Hubbard was chairman for 14 years. They thank him for ;his untiring interests in all aspects of the Recreation Committee. whether at the Arena or the Hall, it was a time consum- ing job, Nell done: Thanks George.

Within the fellowship of the Christian Church is the nurture of souls. lh that fellowship is the discovery that together we can do far more than any of us could ever do alone. You don't become a Christian just because you attend church. But in the fellowship you can discover what being a Christian is. It is neither as sombre nor as senseless as many might think. it is not a wake to which we are invited; it is a banquet. Why refuse? Neighbour, have you simp- ly gotten out of the habit of meeting with the rest of God's faithful people? Don't let the friendship grow cold.

Snow in Huron no laughing mattes During a snowstorm in Huron County it is best to be indoors and of( the roads, but try and tell someone on their way north or south through the area and watch their reaction. It goes from "you're joking" to disbelief and then 10 anger as they plunge ahead into the whiteout believing 'they know best. Twice in one week the highway from Blyth to Belgrave has been closed and barricades manned by village employees were set up here in Blyth. While many local people agree driving in such weather is bordering on lunacy, some still persist in travelling with the visitors along highways where visibility is nil and the clanger great. But no matter what is said to that handful of drivers they insist upon continuing on their journey, oblivious to the danger and problems they cause others. First there are the police on duty who have to go after these drivers and get details on the accidents that are caused in white outs. Then there are the snow plow operators who have to be aware that some of those mounds on the road are not snow banks but abandoned vehicles. , Ambulance drivers and attendants are also on call to pick up some of the pieces in nasty car accidents. Nothing is as important as keeping safe and that handy device, the telephone, enables many to contact destinations to report a delay in arrival. Despite weather warnings and constant highway reports, reckless drivers set out into a storm mindless of all the advice. And those are the ones who can't comprehend logical reasoning and because of them we will have to report on accidents and multiple car pileups during storms. If you see someone starting out into a storm think twice about Letting them go. You could be doing them a favour by discouraging their travels under poor conditions. Canadians in general,and the press in particular, have spent a lot of time in the last couple of decades. dumping on political leaders who dare to leave Canada. it doesn't matter which party our leaders represent, they're liable to be both criticized and ridiculed if they dare to step outside our borders while there are any unsolved problems left at home. Remem- ber Joe Clark's ill-fated world tour where the press managed to take every minor slipup and make it symbolic of the sloppy Joe who wanted to be our leader? Pierre Trudeau has received even more criticism over the years, possibly because he's been around longer. Last week the same readiness to symbolize filled the media reporting on his current world travels. It's ironk that at a time when ordinary Canadians are doing more world travelling than ever before we begrudge our leaders what should be their duty: to get out and visit other countries to learn and let peopk learn about Canada. Every time a leader goes abroad people grumbk that they should be staying home to solve the inflation problem or the unemployment problem or the separatist problem, u if the problem that couldn't be solved the other SI weeks of the year will suddenly be solved in the one week the leader is away. The current troubled tour of the Prime Minister may do as little to solve the problems of the poor countries u the Sugar & Spice by Bill Smiley Peering into '81 It's difficult to peer ahead into 1981 with wild enthusiasm. Unless you live in Alberta. where the taxes are lour and the living is high. Inflation is almost guaranteed to increase from 10 to 15 per cent. Our Prime Minister. in his infinite wisdom, had some advice for poor p eople and pensioners who dread such a forecast. In effect, he said if thcs can't afford bread, let them cat cake. The last person who uttered those sentiments wound up with her head in a basket. Yes. Mr. Trudeau has much in common with Marie Antoinette, and is just about as close to the people. Peace and goodwill seem like a hopeles+; MSC for the coming year. The Russians are still in Afghanistan. keeping the peace. The situation in Poland, as I write, is vers dict'. The Middle East is on the verge of cat) fling fire. literally and figuratively. 1 here are wars and rumors of wars around the globe. And our country is not exactly in glowing health, politically, although that's nothing new. Barely has Rene Levesque had his ears pinned back when out of the West gallops. not young Loochinyar. but fairly serious threats of separation from Canada. airily dismissed by our P.M. as "hysteria." It's .anything but. If everybody west of Ontario went along with it. The West would have one of the biggest countries in the world. with a small population, great resources, And it's about time Ottawa. and Ontario, the fat cat of Canada since confederation, did more than pooh•pu h the idea. Meanwhile, let's get back to the trivia that is so much more important to thy individual, It's still a gloomy outlook. Young people, unless they have a double income or inherited wealth, might as well forget about buying a house with mortgage rates so high that even the Lord can smell something rotten in the state of our economy. Donald McEachen. a wealthy bachelor who happens to be Minister of Finance. is so eager to de -index our income tax that he's dancingiibout like a kid who has to go to the bathr %m. If he were allowed to get away with it, no matter how hard you worked. or how bright you were, your income would melt like a snowball in you -know -where. Pollution and acid rain are attacking this beautiful country like the bubonic plague, while government talks tough and does nothing and industrialists. in sincere sur- prise, ask, "What pollution?" while our lakes are killed of fish, our soil is poisoned and our health is threatened. These may seem pretty gloomy thoughts. but there are even more horrible prospects for 1981. Every one of us is going to be one Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulston cynics say but it may have a important side-effect back home Canada. Canada was a very outward country for many years. We seemed to regard ourselves as of little importance for nearly the first century of our existence. That changed in the mid -sixties as Lester Pearson's govern- ment tried to build a national sense of community. an interest and pride in ourselves and our own country. Canada turned around to the point that today Canada is so inward looking that we are in as much danger of hurting ourselves as before. THE "ME GENERATION" If Canadians have become the "me" generation, Canada has become a "me" country. All we can see is our own problems and we have blown things all out r . r . IL because of it. We fuss about the horrible inflation and indeed it is nothing to be proud of at 11 per cent last month. Inflation last year in Israel was something like 135 per cent. in Iceland they're hoping for a good year to get inflation down to 40 pet cent from a predicted 80 pet cent. Interest rates? Israelis would drool at our 20 per cent interest rates here. They pay 100 per cent interest and stili they borrow like mad. Cost of petroleum too high? Al least we can afford it. The third world nations? already behind us, are failing farther behind every day. We're burning our share of the world's petroleum resources and theirs too and then complaining about it costing too much. Many nations think we're not paying enough for our fuel here because the price is less than the U.S., Europe and other places, thus not encour- aging us to cut consumption as much. year older, and not one whit better. That may be all very well for a kid of IR who wants to become 19 so he can drink legally. But for many of us, all it means is more aches and pains. new glasses, new teeth. and one step closer to the grave. Many of us will lose friends and relatives to that old Grim Reaper. and many will desert the sports page or the comics for the obituary columns. We'll probably have a dreadful winter, a late spring, a short wet. cool summer, and another lousy fall, like that of 1980. 1 can feel it in my bones, especiall►' the middle toe -bone of my left foot upon which I dropped the mickcy. Unless the reds go on priming the pump with our taxes. gas and oil prices will soar. creating.dreadful hardships. such as having to wear a sweater in the house, or walk to work. Now, everything I've said is true, and you know it. But I can just hear you saying: "What wrong with Smiley? Who does he think he is? Cassandra? He's getting into his dotage, and should be put away in an old people's home." And you'd he quite right. Nobody believed Cassandra either. and it was a good thing. If they'd believed her, the fall of Troy would never have taken place, the great Greek tragedians would have had no material. and instead of working like trgans. we'd probably be working for Trojans. But inside. i don't feel any of that gloom and doom I've been spouting. 1 feel tike a boy. Rather an old buy. but a boy. nonetheless. Despite our economic situation. high taxes. inflation on both port and siarh"at t bows, war and violence our everyday diet, we'II survive. and probably have as good a year as we ever had. We still hare one of the highest living standards in the world. We are still a rich country, comparatively. We still have a sturdily independent nation of individuals. Our inflation rate is no worse than most countries, better than' many. So, if you can't buy a house. as Trudeau would say, buy a condominium. If you can't afford the supermarket prices. get out and cultivate your own garden. It you can't afford gas, walk. if you can't afford fuel, drop dead. It'II be warm enough where you go. When I think of what Canadian pioneers faced, every new year, i just laugh at the whining of modern Canadians, one of the spoiledest nations in the world. Personally, I'm going to have a great 1981. even if 1 can't afford teeth and have to gum my grub, have to get around on crutches. And the same to you. How about the cost of food? Ridiculous you say. So do the people in Poland who can't find food to buy in their stores. But the Poles are on the rich side of the poverty line compared to hundreds o! millions.

Some companies in Huron County had volunteered to provide a trophy for this class. In a report from the advertising committee. Bob McNeil told the club that they had talked about taking out a 1, 8 of a page ad in the Holstein Journal every month in which the breeders of Huron County could ad• vertise. He said nobody would be able to advertise twice, until everybody had the chance at least once, and that each breeder would he notified by mail about this. He said it was felt that them should be a chairman fur this committee and after some discussion, the club decided to adopt the presentation of the advertising committee and make Wilbert Freeman the chairman. It was decided that the Holstein Club's gift to the dairy princess this year would once again he a silver tea service. Li other business. Dave Marshall was elected as a counsellor to take informa- tion from the Huron County Holstein club to National Directors, Bob McNeil has completed the first year of a two year term as coons .Ilor and will continue. The annual meeting of the club is to be held on November 26. Funds allocated The federal government has allocated S5.8 million to complete its transition fund- ing for CANFARM Co-oper- ative Services. CANFARM, a computeriz- ed farm accounting system, was transferred from the federal government to a con- sortium of farm organiz- ations and co-operatives in April 1979. Snowmobilers Continued from page I But while an owner of the land cannot be held respon- sible for the safety of those who enter onto -his land (if the land is reasonably safe) trespassers can be fined up to $1,000 by the courts. In the past, land owners and trail associations have been cooperative and now the development of further trails depends on the respon- sible beh aviour of the trail users. The Blyth Snow Travellers have been in oper- ation for a number of years and their membership of 32 is mostly families. The club has written access to over 50 miles of trails in and around Blyth and East Wawanosh area. This is their mostactive time of the year and in coop- eration with the Blyth Lions club, they are planning a poker rally in February. A yearly fee includes membership in the Ontario'"' Federation of Snowmobile Associations (OFSA) and SI million in liability insurance through OFSA. Membership into the OFSA does not permit snow- mobilers to use other club trails without the permission of the club. The Blyth group is seeking permission from other clubs in the area to use their trails. Last weekend a group of Huron County Snowmobikrs 0 .travelled from south of Clin- ton to the Wingham area. The Clubs from Clinton and points north took part in the run. Blyth Club include steak feeds, family rulings and poker rallies and no trail tees are charged to members using Blyth trails. Blyth traits. Anyone interested in be- coming a member may con- tact Bill Bearss at Box 323 Blyth. Fees are 57.50 a single membership and SI2.50 for family. The club also has phone numbers listed with the Wingham OPP for emergen- cies. In the case of stormy weather members may be called to deliver needed sup- plies to storm -stayed victims or aid in accidents. The club maintains a family atmos- phere and practices `Ire snowmobilers' code of ethics. Deer harvesf news Long, cold winters with deep snow are a killer of deer in Ontario. The number, weights and antler develop- ' ment of one and a half year-old deer (yearlings) in the harvest, give the mana- ger good{ indication of the survival of the deer herd, especially fawns, through the previous winter. This year's harvest was comprised of 35.6 per cent fawns. 28.8 per cent yearlings, and 35.6 per cent adults. Fawn to yearling survival over the 1979-80 winter was good. A mild winter and adequate food supplies were important fac- tors in their survival. During a telephone survey conducted by our staff immediately following the hunt most hunters contacted enjoyed the opportunity to be ebk to hunt closer to home for both social and economic MUMS. There is a large, healthy deer herd in Huron .County going into the winter of Under the transfer agree- ment, CANFARM was sold for a nominal SI. The federal government agreed to pro- vide 51.2 million a year for three years. providing the co-operative showed both fi- nancial needs and progress in building membershln. In addition, the govern- ment guaranteed a loan of up to S4 million to CANFARM. through the Canadian Co-op- erative Credit Society. Of the S5.8 million funding announced today. about S3.5 million will go to retire the loan. "We are exceeding our original commitment to CANFARM." says ag min- ister Eugene Mr. Whelan. "In addition to the loan guarantee, we are giving 52.3 million in federal funds to CANFARM to ensure that farmers who now subscribe to CANFARM will .get the services they have contracted for. The 52.3 million grant will ensure that all 1980 accounts are completed. "I believe the federal gov- ernment has completely ho- nored its part of the bar- gain," Mr. Whelan said. "There will be no more federal funding for CAN - FARM in the future. "The onus is now on the farming community. if CAN - FARM is to be a viable operation, farmers and farm organizations must support 11 now. THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 14, 1981 - Snow weary branches Behind the Scenes Continued from page 4 backyard, a place Canadians go to spend a carefree winter holiday. Those tourists will spend more on one night out then the average Haitian will make in a year. We have fostered a picture throughout history of the rich European aristocrats who complained about the price of jewels getting absolutely ridiculous while people starved in the streets. We've immortalized Marie Antoinnette's famous "Let them cal cake" line and we look al the rich people in our own country in the same light we see the uncaring aristocrats of other times. WE'RE THE RICH ONES And yet looking at the world as a whole we are the rich aristocrats telling the poor to eat cake. We are the privileged few in the world where the majority are in poverty and we turn our eyes away trom the poverty because it doesn't make a pretty picture: We worry about the rising cost of living our rich lifestyle while millions worry about having a life at all. It isn't asked of Canadians to feel guilty about their good fortune. to think of the hollow eyes and swelling stomach of a starving African child every time we get ready to crunch into a Big Mac. What is unthinkable, however, is for Canadians to make a big deal of their petty hardships when they don't know what the word harship means. We live in the lap of luxury and we must realize it. We should do what we can to help those that are less fortunate surely, but first of all we should simply realize how fortunate we are by taking a look at how the other three-quarters of the world lives.

Council briefs BY; RHEA HAMILTON Herb Shannon was at Blyth council last Monday when hs laws were passed to ftnalire the seserence of Iwo of his lots on the end of Hamilton Street. Council entered into a subdivision agreement with Mr. Shannon which allows for development of the lots and the dedication of a roadway 66' x 132' to the village. (Ministry of Trans. portation Standards) Mr. Shannon was also requested to turn over SI .000 to the village in lieu of the customary. 5 per cent park- land in the development agreement. The development agree. ment was imposed by the county and conditions in• elude that the owner agree to extend hydro and water ser- vices to the Tots and is allowed two years to con• plete the work. If there arc any difficulties then an ar- rangement or extension of time between the siilage and Mr. Shannon may be arranged. Mr. Shannon also asked council about the village supplying him with an outlet for his drain. He had been under the impression that the village had to supply an outlet for every home. Councillor Bill Howson ex• plained that Blyth is not responsible for supplying outlets but will maintain what it there and extend where possible. Mr. Shannon has complet- ed some work on hooking up his outlet to a drain on McConnell Street but is having difficulties as to who covers the costs. Council informed him that they have not been in the habit of supplying outlets or paying for private drain work. Mr. Shannon's request will be kept on file in event of a change of policy. In other business council reviewed the taxes situation for 1980. The village will have 4.52 per cent of its taxes outstanding. The breakdown is as follows. The total tax base is killed out at 5175.674.99. To dale S162,615.84 has been paid and S1,494.47 written off. Through appeals 5714.26 was reiundte'ft leaving 512.278.94 u'• .,riding. There is one case under appeal which when paid would reduce the tax Ioss from 6.98 per cent to 4.52 per cent. Council approved grants of S50 to the Canadian Mental Health Association, up S25 from last year; S50 to the Salvation Army. London, up S25 from last year and no grant to the Huron County Historical Society. The problem of dogs was again brought before council.

At their January meeting, held at Clinton Public School on Thursday. members approved a motion asking the provincial government to make funds for programs such as tile loans and capital grants available only to re• sident Ontario farm owners. The result on stated "whereas Iimtted money is available for such programs as tile loans, capital grant programs, etc. and whereas Canadian taxpayers should not be supporting absentee investors". the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) was asked to request the government make funding available only to Ontario residents. Tony McQuail, who seconded the motion put forward by Merle Gunhy. said `ince the province isn't getting anywhere very quickly on limiting absentee ownership. the motion's intent was to make sure the limited funding available for Ontario farmers wasn't used up on absentee owners. In response to a query asking if absentee owners have already received funds for tiling, Merle Gunby said no examples of this were known to committee members, but it was a possibility they were trying to head off before it happened. The theme of they federa• non meeting on Thursday was regulations governing the operation of pits and quarries in the county. Craig Laing, pits and quarries inspector for the Ministry of Natural Resources. Wingham office, outlined the implications of the Pits and Quarries Control Act for farmers with gravel pits on their property. Under the act, which now covers all townships within the area. operators must pay eights cents pet metric tonne security fee on extracted gravel. effective Jan. 1. 1981. The fee is paid to the Treasurer of Ontario to guarantee pits and quarries will be rehabilitated in the future. The deposit is re• turned to operators when rehabilitation is in progress Huronview welcomes lady from Bluevale Mr. Houston who is an Oder at the Blyth Church read the scripture at the Sunday morning service.

Also, effective July I. 1981, pits and quarries operators must obtain a license from the ministry for their pits, and outline plans for the site. including rehabilitation. or else operations at the pits must cease. Craig Laing told federation members pit operators pay the eight cents per metric tonne deposit on March 31 of the following year. which means they must keep a record of the tonnage of gravel removed from their pit during the year. The pits inspector said the eight cent security. deposit "reflects more accurately. the •ost of rehabilitation and will provide incentive for re- habilitation when the pit is still in operation." Operators will be paid a rate of interest on the deposit equal to the Province of Ontario accounts interest rates. which Mr. Laing called "a little sugar with the had medicine 1 guess." Originally operators were to receive only six per cent interest on the security deposit. The inspector also outlined regulations in Bill 127. the Aggregates Act, which the government has been trying to pass for some time to replace the Pits and Quarries Control Act. Under the new act, which has had a second reading. in addition to the eight cents security fee. operators will also have to pay a royalty fund of six cents per tonne. which will be divided between the municipality, the county and the province. The royally fee won't be returned to operators. Mr. Laing said this money will be used by government to repair roads and implement dust controls, to repair damage by heavy truck traffic around pits. In response to a question from the audience, Mr. Laing said he didn't expect the Ag- gregates Act would be passed until a majority government was in office. The inspector was asked how a stockpile of crushed gravel would be affected by the security fee regulations. Mr. Laing said operators ha,ve until July. 1981 to get rid of stockpiles and after that, they must pay the eight cents per tonne fee on re• maining gravel. He said because of the amount of lead time given operators. the ministry felt they should be able to get rid of stockpiles by July. HOW RECENTLY? Another audience member asked how recently pits must have been used to qualify for a license, pointing out that gravel from mann farm pits is used only to gravel driveways and farm yards. Mr. Laing, said if a farmer can swear the pit was in use continously fora number of years, the license will he granted. The license fee is S25 for individuals. and 5100 for corporations operating a pit. Mr. Laing said operators don't have to remove gravel from a pit during the year just because the pit is licensed. No licenses will he issued in Huron County until July I. The inspector was also questioned about fencing regulations for the pits. Under the act, operators are required to fence around the boundaries of a pit or quarry with heavy duty farm fence. However Mr. Laing pointed out there are allowances for non-compliance with fencing regulations, For example. if the pit is in an isolated location or if fencing completely around • the boundaries will take good agricultural land out of production. then fencing regulations can be waived. Mr. Laing said the ministry particularly wants fences around nits bordering roadways or around pits containing water. Another audience member asked Mr. Laing how gravel pits can be reclaimed. The pits inspector said the land could be reforested, could be returned to f*pnland or used as a recreational area. He said operators must maintain enough topsoil on the site to complete rehabilitation plans. In response to another question, he said operators can sell any excess topsoil after rehabilitation is complete. PRICE OF GRAVEL Doug Fortune o Turnbcrry Township asked what the new rules would do to the price of gravel. Mr. Laing said he didn't think there should he an increase in the price but admitted "the money is tied up (in the security deposit). there's no doubt about that." In response to another question, he said with the new regulations, likely some smaller gravel pits that HFA aren't used very heavily will go out of production. Another man said he mid see operators taking pits' out of production now and waiting to apply for a license until the price of gravel goes up. Mr. Laing cautioned it would be more difficult for operators to get a license in the future if they allowed a pit to go out of operation. He said getting the license again would require a bylaw change. Merle Gunby asked the inspector what it would cost an average farmer with a one -acre pit on his farm to have a site plan prepared. as required in applying for a license. Mr. Laing said it would be hard for surveyors to give an estimate of site plan costs until they viewed the pit. the topography of the land, etc. He did advise operators to get two or three estimates on site plans since there is quite a difference in price.

Deer hunt results For three days, November w 5. 1980, a gun hunting season for deer was esta- blished in Huron Counts for the first time since 1974. The results, now analysed, are as follows: In total, 885 validation stickers were issued to inter- ested hunters throughout the three zones in Huron County. An estimated 728 sportsmen No grants to non-resident farmers Continued from page 11 Federation president Gerry Fortune asked Mr. Laing if there is a limit to the number of wayside pit permits one person w ill he issued. Mr. Laing said the ministry is going to try t:: limit the municipalities from going into a wayside pit year after year. since the) must open and close that pit each time. He said the intent of wayside pit licenses is that pit can he used for one-time road construction. He said the problem with wayside pit 1 0 1 0 0 w.aere euro permits is that municipalities want the cheap grasel from these pits whereas operators want to sell their gravel to the muncipalities. which means "we're between a rock and a hard place." Members were asked at the start of the meeting if they wanted to send a dele- gate to the Ontario Conference of Agriculutre. organized by Minister of Agriculture Lorne Henderson, which is being held in Toronto in February.

Deer check stations were operated throughout the district at four locations plus a mobile unit manned by district staff to collect hiolo- Iogical data.
