Carnochan said the town- ship is in "good shape" for restructuring, and he will continue to pursue "whatever will work for Tuckersmith Township." "We are all owners of the township," he said. "Let's keep it that way." BY GREGOR CAMPBELL Expositor Staff Tuckersmith Reeve Bill Camochan, recently returned by acclamation, said his next term will be a challenge when he gave his "state of the union" speech to town- ship ratepayers at the all -can- didates meeting at Brucefield United Church last Tuesday night. He says the highlight of his just -completed term was council's continued delivery of service with no increase in the municipal mill rate. Whether this situation can continue depends on amalga- mation negotiations with neighbours and whatever Teachers coming to Seaforth Whatever it is, illegal strike or political protest, Huron's disgruntled teach- ers are coming our way. From 300 to 400 striking teachers, representing public and separate school and womens' teachers unions, are scheduled to be in Seaforth today (Wednesday) protesting the Ontario gov- ernment's educational reforms. They call themselves the Poultry producer update at arena The fourth annual poultry producer update is next Wednesday (Nov. 12) at the Seaforth and District Community Centres from 9 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. Advanced registration is encouraged by Nov. 7. A press release from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs says topics to be dis- cussed, and speakers are: trade issues, William V. Doyle; Cellulitis, thoughts from the field, Dr. Bob Goodhope; municipal responsibility in manure management, Scott Tousaw; field update on darkling beetle control, Dr. Lloyd Weber; commodity pricing outlook, Colin Reesor; right to farm legislation, Mike Toombs.

Their protest march in downtown Seaforth today was scheduled from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m., the same sort of thing they've been doing mostly in Exeter around MPP Helen Jobt4 s office lately. Spokesman Terry Craig said Friday that teachers don't feel they are getting their message across on the government's education - reform Bill 160, and people need proper information to make the right decision. "Teachers are behind our union leaders," the well- known local educator from St. Anne's Catholic Secondary School in Clinton says. "If we weren't, we wouldn't be out here." Teachers across the province haven't been in schools for the past two weeks, although the vast majority of them are under contract. `SMOKE WILL CLEAR' The reeve said Tuckersmith stands to lose about $342,000 in grants from the province this year. He said the town- ship's reserve now stands at about $900,000, and this fig- ure has risen by somewhere between $195,000 and $200,000 since the last local elections. "Sooner or later the smoke will clear but in the interim it's going to be a challenge," he said. In many cases, when it comes to government pro- grams "they (the province) get the saying and we get the paying," he commented.
