Prizes were awarded for the best Hensall sewage rates to rise HENSALL - Due to upgrade and expansion plans of the village sewage works, residents will pay more to cover sewage costs. "It was concluded that sewage rates would definitely have to be raised," stated a report of Clerk -Treasurer Luanne Phair at council's Nov. 8 meeting. Phair's report resulted from a meeting with the sewage liaison committee and Steve Burns, of B.M. Ross and Associates Ltd., which is undertaking the project. Ross is to forward calculations for council's review next month. The next step involves the preparation and submission of a work plan that includes a detailed design report to be reviewed by the Ministry of Environment and Energy. At this stage the ministry will consider approving a Conditional Certificate of Approval for the sewage expansion. Because there were no objections received during a recent 30 -day notice requirement, the project is expected to go ahead, although government funding is uncertain. Protecting our communities the focus for November EXETER - With Domestic As- sault Prevention Month and Crime Prevention Week in Novcinber, Helen Johns, MPP for Huron re- ported Friday that the Harris gov- ernment is stepping up its commit- ment to safer communities in Ontario. Helen Johns noted that solicitor General and Minister of Correction- al Services Robert Runciman and , Attorney General Charles Harnick have vowed to spend the month building on the government's record of protecting our communi- ties. "We have been working hard to put the rights of victims ahead of the rights of criminals, and to en- sure swift justice for offenders," Johns said. "Safe communities are essential to maintaining Ontario's quality of life, which is key to attracting jobs, investment and economic growth." Since taking office, the Harris government has moved quickly on these fronts, with initiatives de- signed to strengthen victims' rights, promote crime prevention and build a faster, tougher and more efficient justice system. These include: • Toughening the Ontario Board of Parole; • Reinvesting $5.2 million to ex- pand forensic DNA testing; • Introducing a Victim's Bill of Rights and enshrining a Victim's Justice Fund; • Funding and expanding the Vic- tim Crisis Assistance and Referral Service and the Victim/Witness As- sistance Program support services; • Establishing a Strict Discipline facility for young offenders; • Enhancing the Investment Strat- egy to speed court proceedings. "Throughout November, we will annotIticeVseites o'f' nO measures to build this progress, And further strengthen Ontario's law enforce- ment and justice systems," Johns said. "We are committed to ensuring that Ontarians and their families feel secure in their homes, neigh- borhoods and communities." ••••••••••••• •••••••••••• ••• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • A • • • 0 C ST on selected appliances!
