The Huron Expositor, 1990-09-26, Page 13THE HURON EXPOSITOR SEPTEMBER 26 v90 ► Driscoll returning to Golden Hawks BY PAULA ELUOTT Vancouver Canuck hopeful Scott Driscoll is back at school m Wats- loo now, mimed from what km been described as one of die roughest tryout camps ever. Driscoll, who travelled to Van- couver on September 6 as one of five free agents signed for the trallital MAR, was relr4cd era the first Satur4iy with su other players. The Canucks called 69 players out to the coast to try out for the organization, which is undergoing a massive housecleaning in both the Canuck roaster and their main Milwaukee farm team. Scott's parents, Ron and Karen Driscoll of Seaforth, journeyed to Vancouver with Scott and notes that they were all surprised at the puce of the NHL tryout. "We clever realized that U would be that rough, and neither did Scott," rCQtarks Mrs. Driscoll. She added that a number of players had w be released from the carp due to injuries sustained in the tryouts. Even the management admitted that the tryouts were the most physical that the team had even hosted. Prior ea has trip to V arx:uu ver, Scott Driscoll was expecting that training camp could be scrappy. The Comas we looking to build up a stable of burlier, defensive signers and were primarily interested in players with a lot of size. The organization atfoutted to Scott that this was one of the main reasons that they had signed the former St. Mary's Junior 'B' and university hockey player in Apnl. "I'm not an enforcer," he told the Expositor. "1'm not a fighter." He made this clan when he signal w the spiv, and the Canuck masgeseat knew where be stood. "1's more then willing to drop my gloves and fight tar potation," he had mid, adding tet he was expcx: twig to be challenged to his share ut fights at the training camp, being one of the bigger player there. Follow ung a gruelling workoutthus steamer to ready himself for the training c:amp. Scott worked on his skaurig skulls and toned up wish weights, b and aerobics, cropping about pounds from his 6'4" frame to weigh to at Vancouver under 230. "If they want fighters, they can go out and buy fighters," Scou had said. This seems to be exactly what the Canucks have w aund. Although very tntrrested in Scott, the Canuck anent indicated that they had their budget far playas and cxwldn't afford to pick up war - gut players that might worm out for kern in the future. The organization could have offered Scott a position in their Calgary outfit at ap- proximately 3(kkc a year, but with one yew to go in his Biology program at Wilfred Laurier Univer- sity and a $1000 bursary waiting for him, the Canucks decided that letting Scott go would be the most prudent move. Scott Driscoll will be returning to the Wilfred Laurier Golden Hawks' lineup again this season, and his.. also been offered linesman oppor- tunities for Junior 'A' hockey. Christian Blind Mission at Hensall church CARMEL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Yesterday's Dead, Tomorrow's Unborn, So There's Nothing to Fear and Nothing to Mourn, For All That is Past and All That has Been Can Never Return to be Lived Once Again Today the Rev.

Don Smith of the Christian Blind Mis- sion whose home is in Burlington and who has been Blind since he was twelve years of age, travels with his wife all across Ontario with their message about the CBM. Unfortunately Barb was not able to attend today on account of illness. Don Smith is a very eloquent speaker and gave a very sincere sermon, "Are you a Disciple?". He seems to have a deeper sight of the true meaning of the work "Di- sciple" than many who are sighted. He has worked with the sick and needy in third world countries, a task many of us would not attempt. Announcement: Council apologized for the inconvenience caused by the road work.

That is the good news. Some consider it bad news that the $7.21 figure is up from $5.91 in 1989. Although, percentage -wise, it is 21% increase it is only a $1.27 increase. What led to the increase in the general levy? Because of the small watershed population (42,400) the ABCA relies greatly on transfer payments from the Province of Ontario to operate its programs. Unfortunately, provincial funding has not increased at the same rate as ABCA expenses. In 1990, the ABCA faced expenses which were legislated, out of the Authority's control and were not covered by the provincial funds. Expenses such as the new Ontario Health Tax, changes to the Farm Tax Rebate program and Pay Equity resulted in greater overall expenses to the Authority. Since these increases in expenses were not covered by the provincial funds, they had to be covered by the general levy and where possible, increased user fees. As a result, the general levy charged to municipalities was increased from $5.94 to $7.21 per capita. Despite the increase the general levy only represents 15% of the Authority's total budget. 1989 FUNDING SOURCES 96 $ 48 1,142,205.10 30 713,828.20 12 285,551.20 10 237,959.40 Provincial Grants User Fees, Sale of Goods Municipal Levies (regular and special) Special Programs 100 2,379,593.90 HOW IS THE MUNICIPAL LEVY CALCULATED? The amount that each municipality pays to the ABCA is based upon the municipality's discounted equalized assessment. The ABCA receives the discounted equalized assessment figures from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs Financial Management Office. Even if there is no increase or decrease in the Authority's general levy, a member municipality's general levy to the ABCA may change. For example, if houses are built in a municipality, their assessment base increases and the levy to the ABCA increases accordingly. Conversely, if a municipality's assessment remains constant their apportionment of the ABCA's general levy could decrease. It must be mentioned that the assessment figures used are for the previous year, so any changes in a municipalities 1990 assessment will not be reflected in the municipality's share of the general levy until 1991. 1989 EXPENSES % $ 43 994,3%.07 18 416,258.82 15 346,882.35 14 323,756.86 10 231,254.90 Water and Related Land Management Administration Conservation and Recreation Maintenance Special Programa 100 2,312,548.90 HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO GET IN YOUR 390 WORTH!
