Times-Advocate, 1985-01-09, Page 17Hay reeve terms Predicting that 1985 would be "a year of challenge", Hay township reeve Lionel Wilder briefly outlined some of the issues to be dealt with in the ensuing 12 months at the first January meeting of Hay township council. First on the list was the fate of the proposed Lake Huron water pipeline. A letter from MPP Jack Riddell holds out little hope for provincial funding; opposition leader David Peterson's request for a meeting of the interested parties has not yet been acknowledg- ed by environment minister Andy Brandt. Wilder said the township seems to be "beating a dead horse; govern- ment priorities favour permanent rather than seasonal development ". The reeve added he hoped the pipeline would somehow become a reality, as $25,000 had already been spent on engineering studies and other expenses. Clerk Joan Ducharme and engineering consultant Burns Ross are still working out the costs to each affected property owner before sen- ding out letters asking if they would be willing to advance up -front money for the estimated $2.5 million cost, H the township's borrowing is restricted to $700,000. Other matters on the horizon are the zoning bylaw change dispute with Exeter which will be brought before the OMB this spring, the completion of the township ball park. the new zon- ing bylaw targeted for the end of 1986, (with eight public meetings schedul- ed as part of the lengthy procedure), and the hydro corridor controversy. Referring to the latter, Wilder said the line will not benefit Huron as it passes through,--and-he-is-opposed So._ it. However. at present no one knows where the towers will go, what size they will be, or how much Ontario Hydro will offer farmers in compensation. "Rest assured I'll be saying no", Wilder said. but emphasized that at present no concrete proposal exists to oppose. Dashwood police village trustees Nancy Rader, Bob Boogemans and Ken Rader attended the meeting to discuss a restructuring of fire -fighting arrangements with Hay and Stephen townships. The municipalities are in- terdependent; Dashwood has the building and manpower, but no money to replace its 1954 fire truck. The townships have access to a much broader tax base, but could not man their own fire departments as their manpower would be scattered across the townships. Dashwood wants to retain its physical facilities and its fire depart- ment. "Otherwise, what's left of the town", Nancy Rader asked. Council concurred with Dashwood's township to discuss a reasonable solu- tion, which may result in the forma- tion of a fire board among the three. with each paying in proportion to the assessment in the area they are responsible for protecting. Two public meetings held previous- ly whose results were nullified because only one representative from the county's planning committee was present were held again. This time Warden Paul Steckle joined Reeve Wilder to make up the required two members. The proposed amendments had been recirculated, and once again no objections were registered. One amendment changes the designation of the St. Joseph Shores subdivision from recreational to ur- ban, in effect enlarging the boun- daries of the village of St. Joseph to include the subdivision. The other, the result of a severance application by Gary and Leo Masse, amends the land use policy of Hay's secondary plan to allow some perma- 1985 nent residences on land designated recreational, provided the full-time use of such properties was establish- ed prior to the amendment. Both amendments now go to the Huron County planning and develop- ment committee. Works department employee Michael Masse was presented with a certificate from Sheridan College on successful completion of a skills development road grader course held at Auburn. He also received a cer- tificate for passing a hand signals course. Road superintendent Ross Fisher reported he had gone $6,822.53 over the projected 1984 road budget of $348,800. He is applying for the re- maining amount of the 52 percent MTC subsidy. He was asked to bring a draft of specifications for a new township pick-up truck to the next meeting. The specifications must have MTC approval to be eligible for a subsidy. Tenders will then be call- a real bargain by paying a retainer fee of only $3,030 per year, and also with the necessity of having a fire truck stationed in Dashwood. The two municipalities agreed to arrange a meeting with Stephen Every tick of the clock brings us closer to longer day -light hours, and of course. eventually, spring. January is a long dull month with most people taking a break after all the fuss of the holiday season. If anyone or group would like to bring a program. it would be very welcome. On Wednesday evening, the Ladies Auxiiary held their first meeting of the IOew Year. The residents' choir prodded the entertainment for the everting, followed by refreshments. During the business part of the meeting, the installation of officers tole place. The Leandre Bedard family provid- ed a musical program for the residents on Wednesday afternoon which was very much enjoyed. Mr. Warner of the apartments is providing organ music for our listen- ing pleasure in his spare time. Bingo was enjoyed on Friday even- ing followed by refreshments. The Sunday evening chapel service was conducted by Mr. Merlin Bender of the Conservative Mennonite Church.

A date of February 1 has been set to meet with Dale Dignan to discuss the restoration of the • Fansville Wesleyan Methodist Cemetery. Last year the township allocated $1,500 for stone restoration and landscaping. The township enclosed the cemetery with a heavy chain strung between steel posts. Dignan wants permission to install three marble markers at a total cost of $570. The markers are to replace stones damaged beyond repair. Wilder said he does not want to discourage those who spend time and energy improving these old cemeteries and they deserve a great deal of credit. However, Hay is responsible for three ancient cemeteries, and Wilder wondered if the township could afford to replace every irreparable stone with a mar- ble marker. A bylaw authorizing the clerk to borrow $400,009 to carry on township busiaess was passed.
