As of February 1, there have been some changes in the endorsement form that's part of your car in- surance. But "it's quite a simple change", and "there's not much to it,", according to Kathy Lyoness of the George Moore Insurance Com- pany in Exeter. Here's how it was: Almost all car owners have had an S.E.F. 42 endorsement up to this point. The S.E.F. endorsement was a form that provided coverage over and above the coverage of a driver that hit you in an accident, if he had less liability coverage than the amoUnt Salaries set at McGillivray Wages and salaries of employees and council members were received and increased at Tuesday's regular - meeting of McGillivray Township council. Clerk -treasurer Shirley Scott will receive $19,200, up from $18,000, the office secretary will get $6 pet hour, the salary of works superintendent rue Kar $25,400. Hourly rales for the road department will be $9.77 for the road foreman and $9.43 for qualified operators for graders and trucks. Most increases amount to about five percent. The reeve will receive $60 per meeting and an annual honorarium of. $250. The deputy -reeve and coun- cillors are to get $50 each meeting. The 1985 township dog tags will be sold by Leona and Rona Hughes. The rate for township water is be- ing increased from 80 cents to 90 cents per thousand gallons.with a minimum quarterly billing of $18. A quote for a new four-wheel drive pickup truck from Nevin Motors of Lucan in the amount of $11,124.79 was accepted. Delivery will be in about 12 weeks. As the result of a query from the town of Parkhill sports and recreation chairman George Pedlar, council felt they were not in a position to par- ticipate in a study for a proposed sports complex in Parkhill. Tile drain loan applications totall- ing $78,800 were accepted. Jim Sheuchuck of Ontario Hydro at- tended council to give an update report hydro transmission corridor line study. He outlined the preferred areas to council. A public meeting will be held on Thursday, March 14 at the Ailsa Craig town halt with municipal officials and land owners involved to define the areas further. awarded to you by the court, and you had more insurance than he. For example, say you were in an accident that was the other driver's fault, and you were badly hurt. The court awarded you one million dollars in damages, but the driver only had $200,000 in liability insurance. However, you've been carrying one million.dollars in liability insurance, and you have- an S.E.F. 42 form. Under the terms of the S.E.F. 42, you would get $200,000 from the other driver's insurance company, and your insurance company would make up the difference of $800,000. If it hadn't been you that was in- jured, but instead a passenger in your car, they would still be eligible for this additional coverage under the S.E.F. 42. So fay so good? Now for the changes. The new form is called the S.E.F. 44 endorsement. It covers passengers in your car who are members of your immediate family and either live with you or are your dependents. But it NO LONGER covers passengers who don't live with you as members of your immediate family or who aren't your dependents. That means that if you give a neighbour a lift, and you have an accident that's another _,_driv award will not be "topped off" by YOUR insurance. But don't panic yet. If your neighbour has his own driver's in- surance that carries a higher liabili- ty than the liability coverage carried by the driver at fault, YOUR NEIGHBOUR'S insurance will top off the award. So using the example we started with, the first $200,000 would be paid by the driver at fault ( that be- ing the extent of his coverage), and the next $800,000 would be paid to your neighbour by your neighbour's insurance. Now what if your neighbour's kid was also injured in this hypothetical accident? No problem as long as your neighbour had the one million dollars in liability insurance; his kid would be considered his dependent, and the kid would be covered under YOUR NEIGHBOUR'S policy. So who's at risk under the S.E.F. 44? A non -driver who doesn't live with another driver and is nobody's depen- dent. They wouldn't be covered under anybody's S.E.F. 44 endorsement, and would only be able to collect damages up to the amount of liabili- ty carried by the other driver -- the driver at fault. All good and well if the driver at fault has lots of insurance. But if the driver at fault carries the minimum $200,000, and the court awards the .injured non-dependent non -driver one million dollars, the non -driver may be out of luck collec- ting ttfe extra $800,000. All this doesn't mean that everyone should panic and never offer non - family members a lift. But it does mean that non -drivers who are not anybody's dependent and whose spouses don't own a car (or who don't have a spouse) should consider per- sonal injury insurance, incase they're ever in a car accident with an underinsured driver at fault. After all, while you can sue the underinsured at fault driver personally (beyond the limits of his insurance), there's no guarantee his personal financial resources will ever be sufficient to pay the amount the court awards you in the civil suit. The whole problem would be prevented if everyone would carry adequate insurance. "With court awards going the way they are, everyone should have at least $500,000, and preferably a million dollars in liability coverage," said Lyoness. Times -Advocate, February 13, 1985 Page 3 Too much winter for KW carnival Winter weather is necessary to make a winter carnival success. In most cases that is. Friday, officials of the Kirkton- Woodham Winter Carnival found the weather was too wintry and were forced to postpone that evening's activities. The annual Snow Queen competi- tion was put back to Saturday night and was a great success with eight contestants giving the judges plenty of problems in deciding on the winner. The only event that was actually cancelled was the Friday night dance. The novelty events set for Saturday afternoon went ahead as scheduled and were successful with a large number of entries. Sunday's activities started with a combined Church service -in the Com- munity Centre followed by a parade and sausage dinner. The Sunday afternoon agenda was well filled with snowmobile, car and cross country' skiing poker rallies along with dog team races and horse drawn sleigh rides. The 1985 Kirkton-Woodham Snow Queen is Cheri Spence, the 16 year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Spence, RR 6 St. Marys. She represented the Kirkton Market. Runnerup and the Princess for the next year was 17 year-old Barb McCormick of London. Cheri Spence was crowned by last year's winner Rebecca Shepherd..The new Queen received $100 in cash, a dozen roses presented by Helen Shute, contest co-ordinator and a large trophy from carnival president Rick Bradford. The princess received $50 and each of the other six contestants get $25 each. The other contestants were Sonya Fletcher, Lisa Milos, Bonnie Sutherland, Mary Lou Parnham, Tammy Richardson and Melissa Wilhelm. In Saturday's novelty events Scott Simpson was best in the 13 years of age and under category. He was first across the finish line in the cackle berry race, the flag race and the cloverleaf barrel event. ~-Jamie Coward was tops in the bale and toboggan race and the pickup race in the same age bracket and Kevin Gibbons was second in all five events. Third place finishers were Dille Switzer, Derek Shackleton, Jamie McBride, Austie Currah and Shawn Spence. Bruce Ross was the onl winner in events for 14 years and over with Karl Armstrong, Tom Conn and Tim Shute each winning once. Dan Shute picked up three second place finishes with Bob Spence and Jeff Francis each getting one run- nerup spot. Third place finishers were Tim Shute, Jeff Pfaff, Karl Arm- strong, Pete Wells and Paul Berendson. Winners in the open obstacle race were Frank Harmer, Tim Shute and Karl Armstrong while Don Hamilton, Pete Walls and Tom Conn were best in the open tire race. The executive of the carnival this year in addition to president Rick Bradford are vice-presidents Dave Williams and Murray Insley, secretary Jack Rundle and treasurers" George Levy and Bob Spence. Committee chairmen are Mervin Shute, Bill Spence, John Urquhart, Bob Marshall, Brian Hardeman, Brent Blackler and Bill Grose. The Kirkton-Woodham Winter Car- nival was first established in 1970. The purpose was to provide assistance to boy scout and girl guide group com- mittees, provide funds for capital ex- penditures for community projects or to donate to any community project providing such donation is authoriz- ed by a marjority vote of the board of directors. Board .to board doors are open Although the Huron County Board of Education will be giving its verbal support to the action taken by the Metro Toronto school board, it, will keep the doors open with the Huron - Perth Roman Catholic school board. At its February 4 meeting, the Huron school board considered a let- ter from .the Toronto school board which outlined the legal action it is taking against the Ontario govern- ment regarding extending funding to Grades 11 to 13 in Catholic high schools. Trustees agreed they will continue to submit briefs to the commissions set up by former premier William Davis. They also intend to keep meeting with the Huron -Perth Catholic school board. An initial meeting between the two school boards was set fohnua _double__ Board of education to look at programs The Huron County Board of Educa- tion doesn't know when, but it will be holding a special board meeting to consider major programs before if approves its 1985 budget. In the past, the board has held a special meeting to approve the budget. Municipal representatives have been invited to these meetings but some have complained that ques- tions are only permitted after the budget has been approved. Director of education Bob Allan said the budget would not be approv- ed at this special meeting, but at a regular board meeting. He said while no invitations are be- ing sent to municipal' representatives for the special meeting it will be an open meeting and the public is invited.

Mr. Allan added that the Huron board has not yet received 1985 grant information from the ministry of education so it doesn't know how much provincial money it will have to work with for this year. Some of the items to be considered are the computer report, technical education report and industrial arts and family studies programs. ecause o poor weather. A meeting between the two school boards will have taken place February 12. At least one trustee doesn't think the funding extension will take place. Trustee Frank Falconer called the Catholic funding question "a political football" that "has been put on the back burner". He qualified his back burner statement by saying it would be a "long process" to get full funding to Catholic high schools. • "How can it be a political foot- ball?", asked trustee John Jewitt. "It was supported by all three (political parties." Jewitt said if full funding is found to be illegal under the Charter of Rights, the Huron school board won't be tied to any commitments.
