Proclaim bill
Huron -Bruce MP Murray Cardiff
warned that Bill. C-109, dealing. with
payment to persons in respect to dwellings
insulated with urea formaldehyde foam
insulation,, was proclaimed law Monday,
October 25:
As of Monday, homeowners intending to
remove the foaminsulation from their
homes; will not qualify for federal aid
unless they have completed a course of
study approved by the federal govern-
ment Homeowners hiring contractors to
complete the insulation removal work
must select contractors who have been
approved for work by the UFFI Centre in
Ottawa.
"I am alarmed that homeowners who
have. been . allowed to remove their own
insulation and still qualify for grants, may
be caught unawares . by the .. sudden
proclamation of the act," Cardiff said. "It
is " important that any homeowner in-
tending to remove urea formaldehyde
foam insulation, or have, it removed,
should take steps to comply with the act. I
hope a warning will spread quickly by
word of mouth.
Mr. Cardiff added that regulations of the
bill have not been approved.
"It appears," he concluded. "That the
unexpected proclamation of the act may
disqualify many homeowners who had no
advance warning of 'the October 25. date
and who are ready to proceed with
removal on their own without the gover-
nment training course."
Mr. Cardiff congratulated the executive
of the Huron branch of HUFFI for
following the developments and for their
quick action in 'discovering the act was,
being proclaimed.
Those who wish information• on how to
qualify for government assistance to
remove the insulation should contact the
UFFI Centre in Ottawa at 1400-5674870.

Bruce opens administration centre
The ' county of. Bruce opened? its new
administration centre in" Walkerton on
" Monday afternoon. The official opening and
ribbon cutting ceremony was . attended by
members. of Bruce . county council, former
wardens of Bruce County, wardens of
neighbouring counties and members: of
parliament °and the legislature.
Bruce Warden Cliff Pegelo remarked that
the new .administration building would bring
together in one location all the county
departments allowing room.for their expan-
sion. Several departments had been request-
ing more space than the former county
building provided.
Warden Pegelo said he was particularly
distressed when coming to county council to
learn that the Children's Aid Society was,
renting office space. in • 4 building up the
•
street from thecounty building. He said the
Society's location in the new centre with the
department of family and social services will
facilitate the two . departments working
together which' he feels is essential.
Warden Pegelo said the former adminis-
tration buildings did not have room - for
expansion of departments which required
more space. The planning department was
spread out over two locations and the
warden did not even have an office where he
could meet with people or sit at a desk.
Warden 'Pegelo said the county council's
decision to proceed with the new administra-
tion centre was made before the current
economic recession and possibly the decision •'
to build now would not have been' made if
the council could have seen to future
economic conditions.
The warden went on to say he was proud
to be a small part of the decision to build the
new administration centre. Warden Pegelo
had the honour of raising the first Bruce
County flag at the opening ceremonies. It
will . fly with the Flag of Canada and the
Ontario Flag. Micki Gurbin of Kincardine
represented her husband, Bruce MP Gary
Gurbin and Huron -Bruce MP Murray Cardiff
by raising the ' Flag of Canada. Murray
Elston, Huron -Bruce. MPP raised the Flag of
Ontario, assisted by Grey MPP ' Eddie
Sargent.
Paul Dawson, architect and Andy Nyland,
Kelly -Lynn Construction Ltd. presented the
keys for the new centre to Warden Pegelo.
The ribbon cutting ceremony was conducted
by Campbell Grant, retired Supreme Court

chairman of the 'Lucknow 'and District Fire
Board. '
Grant Parrish and Grant Curran are
incumbent members of the council who will
seek another term, Bill Andrew and Elmer
Draper are also running for the three seats
on the council.
Marian Zinn has decided to step down
frdm her position as trustee on the Huron
County Board .4 Education representing
Ashfield and West Wawanosh To-vnships.
Three 'people are seeking the position of
trustee. Patricia Haskell of Ashfield said she

the board's advisory committee for Bill 82,
the province's controversial special'educa-
tion legislation.
Marybelle Cranston of, West Wawanosh
Township has served on the township
council for 8, years and is a life long resident
of the towfsh:p. Mrs: Cranston said she

Federation of Agriculture, A farmer with a
young family, McQuail said he is concerned
about the future of the school system and the
•
•
quality of education it provides. He said the
education system must helix our children to
develop skills and abilities to be good
workers and citizens.
He went on to comment that as a ratepay-
er he is concerned that the cost of education
cannot escalate unchecked. .
"The Board of Education has an important
responsibility to see that quality education is
provided at an affordable. price."
Education costsmake up half the
municipal tax load, said McQuail. The
Huron County Board will have to,show
leadership to keep costs in line.
'Eugene Frayne, presently vice-chairman
of the Huron County Board of Education, has ,
been reappointed to fill the position as
representative of the separate ratepayers
whose children attend the county's high
schools. '
Frayne said the effects of the province's
Bill 82 on the school system will be
"phenomenal". Teachers are apprehensive
and nervous about situations with physically
