Historical Society will pay for cairn repairs BY SUSAN OXFORD Seaforth Community Hospital's large expenditures last year were discussed at Tuckersmith Township council's meeting by council's representative on the hospital board, Darwin Bannerman. At the regular council meeting for Tuckersmith Township, December 5, Mr. Ban- nerman gave a report on the hospital and said what direction he felt the hospital will take next year. The hospital had a $4 million budget last year. Mr. Bannerman reported the hospital has spent $450,000 for new x-ray equipment and much of that money was received from the Province of On- tario in grants. The old x-ray equip- ment will still be used. By buying oxygen in bulk the hospital is able to save up to 50 per cent. Mr. Ban- nerman reliorted more functions within the hospital are becoming computerized, but improvements are needed in the laboratory computers before being fully incorporated. The new emergency room is used exten- sively, Mr. Bannerman reported. There are five doctor's offices in use now and room for one more. When asked what the hospital's plans for next year are, Mr. Banner- man answered "After this year probably not much since the hospital is now equipped second to none." Deputy Reeve Bill Carnochan said in his report from Mid -Huron Landfill site that at a recent waste management meeting ways of reducing garbage were discussed. Dr. Hall from the University of Guelph spoke on composting and composting at the industrial level. Road superintendent Doug Poul- ton reported he authorized a repair to a bearing on the grader since it slipped out of tam while being used. The repair will cost between $5,000 and $7,000. A letter was received from Seaforth Daycare committee reques- ting a donation from Tuckersmith to establish the Seaforth Day Care Centre. Councillor Rowena Wallace suggested the clerk write a letter to the committee saying Tuckersmith already has a day nursery that it subsidizes. Council decided not to make a donation at this time. Another letter was received from Hulleu Township advising it is in full agreement with the Township of Tuckersmith that a full time chief is not required at the Seaforth Fire Area Department. Council's representative has been instructed to relay this opinion to the Fire Board at its regular meeting. Council endorsed a resolution from North Himsworth concerning the reduction of garbage. The letter inspired some debate and council- lors agreed manufacturers -should be encouraged to reduce packaging. Mr. Camochan said "The public has to be educated, but some (reducing) has to be done by legislation." Council passed by-law no. 46 which changes the cost of a statement of tax arrears to $20. By- law no. 47 which permits certain lots in Egmondville to connect to the Seaforth sewage works was passed by council. Mr. McLachlan presented a couple of late letters to council. One concerned the cairn in Harpur- hey and the Huron County His- torical Society has offered up to $800 towards the repair of the cairn. The actual cost of the repair is about $450 and council will accept that amount. Separate school board elects chairperson BY MICHELE GREENE The Huron -Perth Separate School board elected its Chairperson and vice -chairperson for the upcoming year at Monday night's meeting. Bernard Murray, incumbent vice - chairperson representing Downie, Blanchard, St. Marys, Zorra, and East Zorraf Tavistock was elected by unanimous vote as chairperson. Ben Brown, representing Ellice, Fullarton, North and South Easthope, was elected as vice - chairperson for the board. "I think we have a busy year ahead of us," said Murray. Resolving a fair teachers agreement, implementing junior kindergarten, and completing the building of St. Michael's Secondary School in Stratford in connection with the Stratford Education and Recreation Centre(SERC) planned to open icy,... 1992 are a part of the board's agenda. Two trustees, Murray and Brown, were nominated and both allowed their names to stand for chairperson. Following the vote, Brown made a motion to make public the unanimous support of the board for Murray. Brown, Ernie Vanderschot, Mediator appointed for negotiations BY MICHELE GREENE The Education and Relations Commission appointed John Bastedo as mediator to help in negotiations between the Huron - Perth Separate School Board and its 200 elementary and secondary school teachers last Tuesday. Bastedo prepared the factfinder's report which was published on Nov. 26. "I don't believe we will have a strike," said newly -elected chairperson Bernard Murray at Monday night's regular meeting of the board. He emphasized communication is the key to bringing about a fair agreement. He said the board has a good "track record" for running a good board and system. "I think it was a good report. [John Bastedo] is an excellent mediator," said Ron Murray, personnel/teacher negotiations committee chairperson. He added everyone must be conscious of the current economic situation . during these talks. "Trustees have to realize the public purse is at a low," he said. At Monday's meeting, Louise Martin, representing Ashfield, Colborne, East Wawanosh, Hullett, West Wawanosh, and Clinton, was elected chairperson of the personnel/teacher negotiations for the next year. Her position will take effect on Jan. 14. McKillop council • from page 1 were appointed as representatives to the ABCA commiuee. Marie Hick- nell was also appointed McKillop's representative for the Seaforth Community Hospital Board. Lorne Glanyille was appointed to the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority board. Jim Ryan and Ken Flanagan were appof rated to the Seaforth District Community Superintendent • from page 1 as.;essments. "The two main advantages to contracting a Drainage Superinten- dent," said Mr. Traut, "are that you have contracted a person with a working knowledge of drains and trained in the legalities (of the Drainage Act), and, that repairs, maintenance and disputes are handled instead of going through an engineer. "I go out and review the drain and if I have tolcan doasurvey and pin point areas only that need cleaning," said Mr. Traut. "I'm also the Drainage Tile inspector in Us - borne and 1 make sure tile drains are not overloaded compared to others." Clem -Treasurer Jack McLachlan mentioned the township had worked on three cleanouts this year. He said the main advantage to contrac- ting a Drainage Supervisor is the grants to help pay for the contract and services. However, the Centre's committee of management. Bill Siemon was appointed to the Blyth District Area Fire Board. Sharon McClure was appointed to the Seaforth Fire Area committee. McKillop approved one tile drainage loan of $9,000. The road superintendent's voucher totalled $15,446.37. General ac- counts totalled $94,360.72, including a payment for construc- tion work on a municipal drain and payments on tile drainage deben- tures. Council authorized the transfer of $2,300 to the Seaforth' Community Centre's operating fund for the purchase of a new pop cooler to replace old one which is broken down. township must submit a report and budget a year in advance with a list of drains to be worked on. The clerk said the plan sounded good for municipalities with open ditches which must be walked and checked every five years. Mr. McLachlan Main Street noted the plan would lessen the work load of the clerk. He noted that the general taxpayer would pay more as it would cont out of general taxes, but the landowner getting the work on the drain done would pay less. •trnm page 4 replaced with a new wooden fascia hoard with decorative trim. Unlike the other two stores with recent restoration work done, Kling's has not yet applied for any grants from the Ministry of Ontario Citizenship and Culture to help with the costs of the work. Other Seaforth property owners are making plans for more res- toration or renovation work on their heritage designated properties. Look out for restoration work to be done on the Province of Ontario Savings building. This project is relatively large and will take some time and receive a larger grant If a Comm?. cial Rehabilitation grant application is approved work could begin on the building next spring. The corner of the building will be repaired and the building will get a thorough Krick cleaning. The window hoods will be reconstructed and any deteriorated brackets replaced. A major undertaking of this project will be exterior restoration work on the building's second storey. Box Furniture Store's renovations are nearing completion. The project began last April and has taken nine months. All the re.novatiom work is being completed according to the standards set out by the Commer- cial Rehabilitation grant guidelines. 'representing Stanley, Hay, Bayfield, Zurich, Hensall, and Don Rivera, representing Goderich and Goderich Township, were nominated as chairperson and all three allowed their names to stand.
