The l.sli Dodge Conservation
1'ttrk is one of the best kept secrets
of South-western Ontario. A
flood plain turned Conservation
Park and home to a sundry
memorial trees; its hills were
carved out to form the perfect
venue for outdoor pertormances.
I losting concerts since 1994, the
amphitheatre boasts such great
acoustics and sightlines that it will
satisfy every seat.
Summer music festivals across
Canada illustrate the swarming of
attendees onto small towns, to
take in not only the musical
events but also the small town
atmosphere. With the growing
trend in supporting local, I tome -

Health Unit tests the public beaches.
Klopp Instead proposed to transfer the
grants into reserves to be used for
potential "environmental issues," such
as agricultural spills along the
shoreline,

It's 211 about you. s years as low as
Goon. Gillespie countered
that the additional testing is
not duplication, rather it
"complements" the health
unit by testing in spots where
it does not. Ile added that
OMAFRA only tests along the
east side of I lwy 21, whereas
the ratepayers associations'
program tests along the west
side closer to the lake.
"I don't see the duplication
argument at all, and I do
think we need to continue to
do the historical testing that
has been done to determine
whether any of the actions
undertaken to improve water
quality in fact do have that
impact," Cotta. Gillespie
said.
Lakeshore ratepayers'
property values depend on
whether the lake and ravine
water is clean and whether
they can tell potential buyers
that swimming is safe, Corn.
Wise argued. She said the
funding "is very little for
them to ask to keep the
standard in their lake."
Klopp's emotion was lost
6-4 in a recorded vote. 'those
who opposed it were Coun-
cillors Gillespie, Irvin, Zim-
merman, Wise, Palmer and
Ilessel. Councillors Roy and
Becker as well as Dawson
and Klopp voted in favour.
Klopp's motion to freeze
councillors' wages this year
,was also struck down in u
recorded vote. Tho>sia•what
voted in favour of keeping
wages at the 2010 level were
Klopp and Corm. Gillespie.
Councillors Becker, Wise,
Palmer, nesse!, Itoy, Irvin,
Zimmerman and Mayor
Dowson opposed it.
Klopp said his motion not
to take a 2 per cent pay hike,
which would only result in a
$3,000 increase in the total
amount paid to all of council,
was about principle.
"It's about showing leader-
ship, accountability and say-
ing, 'we're doing the hest we
can,'" he said. "It's about
looking people in the eye and
saying, 'I feel your pain too,"
he added, referring to the
economic downturn.
Coon. Irvin said it was a
"feel good" motion that he
wouldn't support because
prices have gone rip, such as
gas, hydro and water. While
the increase isn't much, that
2 per cent could offset those
rising costs, he said.
In voting unanimously on
the overall budget, Vessel
reminded his fellow council
lors and the public in attend-
ance that council proved it
can work together.
"i'm glad it passed unani-
mous, and it goes to show
that we can actually work as
a team all together and 1
think that's very important
because there's a miscon-
ception that we're divided,"
ht`-sald.
