T -A photo In Goderich on June 1 Liberal task force visits An Ontario Liberal Task Force studying problems con- fronting rural municipalities opens hearings in Goderich, Wednesday, June 1, Chair- man John Eakins (Liberal- Victoria/Haliburton) has an- nounced. The task force was formed by Opposition Leader David Peterson to investigate ways Ontario's rural municipalities can address current socio-economic difficulties. "The rural municipality faces unique problems," said Mr. Eakins, one-time Mayor of Lindsay. "Changing demographics, mounting Usborne taxes Continued from front page to non-Usborne township ball teams using the Thames Road diamond. Township solicitor Peter Raymond and Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority general manager Tom Prout met with council to finalize details of construc- tion and maintenance of the joint Authority-Usborne building being erected at Morrison Dam. • It was determined that the Authority would pay 80 per- cent and the township 20 per- cent of all construction costs including the administration centre, well water supply, landscaping, parking lot, ar- chitect's fees and the septic system. Furniture, floor covering and window dressings will be paid by each agency for those. areas used 100 percent by the respective agency and in areas shared by both agen- cies the cost will be at the 80-20 ratio which will also app- ly to first year maintenance costs. Survey and legal costs will be shared equally. Application is being made to the Ontario Municipal Board for the issue of deben- tures for a 10 year term to finance Usborne's•share of the cost of the building up to $80,000. Gravel delivered to ratepayers during road. gravelling operations will be charged at the rate of $:3.50 per ton. unemployment, a - fragile agricultural and industrial base; each contribute to the pressures. It is our hope we can uncover ways in whicl,7 the Ontario Government can help our rural communities survive the current recession and flourish in any an- ticipated recovery. "The task force will consult with a number of municipal organizations, including the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the Rural Section of AMO, and Ontario Small Urban Municipalities. It will hole a series of public meetings across the province. The Goderich meeting will be held in the Council Chambers, beginning at 10 a.m., June 1. Task Force Members will include Mr. Eakins, Municipal Affairs and Housing Critic Herb Epp (Liberal -Waterloo North), Agriculture Critic Jack Rid- dell (Liberal-Huron/Mid- dlesex), Environment Critic Murray Elston Liberal- Huron/Bruce); Got don Miller (Liberal-Haidimand/Nor- folk ), Robert McKessock (Liberal -Grey), and Earl McEwen (Liberal- Frdntenac/Addington) The Opposition Leader an- nounced the task force at a re- cent meeting of ROMA. Peterson said it would seek solutions to the problems of sustaining the towns and townships as viable economic units by shoring up their revenue base and maintain- ing work forces. Questions to be addressed: • How can we keep skilled labour in the small towns? How can we make appren- ticeship and manpower train- ing -programs more suitable to the smaller industrial facility? • How can we improve the revenue picture for small municipalities? How can we reverse the erosion of municipal government autonomy? • We need improved transportation between rural communities. How can we develop more effective and viable links between smaller centres? • We need a workable policy on the locating of in - COME TALK MONEY!

How can smaller municipalities be assisted to more effectively compete for jobs and investment? • Rural municipalities need a stronger voice in govern- ment. How can we strengthen their political clout? Looks back on 27 years Continued from front page gram and computer educa- tion, the latter to which he gives a great deal of credit to Willard Long. He admits to there being a laxity in the music program and says he's as disappointed as anyone. Wooden notes that the main problem was that no facility was provided at the time of any of the school additions. In addition to the school not having facilities for music, there has never been a whole lot of interest at times when vocal music was offered. Part of that, particularly for extra -curricular music, is the fact no one on staff has the necessary background, talent, ability or interest to promote it. On the matter of parental interest in school affairs, Wooden says there has never been a great amount of paren- tal activity related to 'the school. He doesn't think that parents aren't interested, just that they think that's the job of the school and are prepared to let them handle the job unless there are problems. Very few controversial pro- blems have. arisen through the years at SHDHS, but some did stir a brief flurry of in- terest, primarily from minority groups. SHDHS has never been a physically tough school and Wooden notes it reflects the community which it serves. "It's always been a pretty pleasant school from the standpoint of students." He notes that South Huron has a very homogeneous population with no ghettos nor any super rich segments. He's also quick to point out the school has always enjoyed a very strong and dedicated staff, with only a few exceptions. . Wooden's philosophy has been to allow people to try and experiment. "You have to let people do the job; and if they fail, don't run them down." He's also tried whenever possible to treat students as adults and never felt it was the job of the school to punish them. What would he consider a fitting tribute to his 28 years? "I would like to think that South Huron has been a dif- ferent school than had I not been here and at least I've made some impact." Has 28 years been a long time? "No, it's gone like a flash," he muses. "It doesn't seem like it's been that long." In addition to undoubtedly succeeding in awaking an im- pact at South Huron, Wooden Ms also contributed to the community, having served eight years on council. • He was also a Member of the initial planning board and with the late AI Pickard, was instrumental in drafting the town's first official plan and zoning bylaws. AT TRADE SHOW Twelve Ontario manufac- turers of architectural sup- plies left for New Orleans last week to participate in the an- nual American Institute of Architects show from May 22-25.
