Clinton News-Record, 1977-05-12, Page 22PAGE 4A-CLINTON NEWS RECORD THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1977 r Th o uheath r e weeklies Parents of some children with learning disabilities have formed the Association for Children with learning Disabilities (ACLD). The Kincardine News reported that the town now has its own ACLD branch. The association feel that their- children are not getting the special attention in education that they treed. Communicative disabilities, learning disorders in language or math warrants .special attention for these children. The Kincardine branch of the ACLD would like to see a study on special education in the county to show the needs. Elgin Market and W.E. Thompson public schools will be getting full time special education teachers in their schools next fall. Twerkt.y five angry residents from King Street, Nelson Street and Huron Terrace in Kincardine are protesting a building variance by Bruce Smith. The Kincardine News reported that Smith wants to build a semi-detached house with a rear yard footage of 16 feet and a depth of 70 feet. However, according to the town's zoning bylaw, a semi- detached structure must have a rear yard of 25 feet and a depth of 90 feet. - Smith, warned the com- mittee of adjustment that if this application was not accepted, he would im- mediately get a building permit to build two duplexes on both lots instead. This is allowable sincerduplexes only require a 50 foot frontage, which both lots have. The residents feel that they pay high taxes to live where they do, and they don't want Smith downgrading the area by `constructing serrii- detached houses. The Wingham Town Council has declared that anyone who is head of a department employed by the town must live within Wingham's boundaries. The Wingham Advance - Times explained that the discussion on residency was brought up by the disclosure that Wingham Police Chief Robert Wittig is moving to Turnberry Township. • Several councillors received complaints from citizens who feel that the police chief should remain in town, but police committee ,chairman David Cameron told the council that there is no official ruling on the matter. The council's resolution will apply only to future hirings and will not apply to persons presently employed by the town. To relieve traffic congestion through Wingham during the 1978 Plowing match, Turnberry Township passed a resolution early in April to develop the B Line road The Advance -Times reported that the road, which will bypass Wingham, will now have the backing of Huron County. Plans are being rade to repair the ohe- lane bridge and the . road surface with hopeful funding from the Ministry of Tran- sportation. The Blyth Standard reports,, that the village council and the Public Utilities Com- mission plan to look into the cost of a major new water - main.

Hoylson explained that the problem lays in the 6 -inch watermain, due to loss of friction. He noted that a larger water - main would 'lessen this friction and he suggested a 10 - inch one. Jim Howson, also captain of the fire department, said that a larger main would give added protection to the main street business section and Manning's lumber yard. The Seaforth Expositor revealed that a Dublin couple, Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Jantzi have a flying dog. Sport does not believe that his place is on the ground but prefers to spend his days in his special tree. The dog • discovered his, flying talent when he was chasing' a raccoon and his determination to capture the wily animal topk him up a tree. Since then, he has been climbing trees and racing from .branch to branch with sheer enjoyment. Sport usually puts on a special performance of his acrobatic talents when visitors arrive at the Jantzi place. Other times he just sits on his perch and surveys the property. The Mitchell Advocate conducted man on the street interviews regarding the need for a provincial election and saw a number of varying opinions. Steve Elle,,ns said, "That's 17 million dollars we don't need to spend right how. Davis just wants more power. I'm not going to vote and you can put that down." On the other side Ken Faust said, "Any change is an improvement in the political arena of Ontario. Whatever the cost of the election, if the results are productive, then the cost is worth it." Heather Keller answered the inquiry with, "Oh that's a tough one. Why don't you ask me again when you've got an easier question?" The Brussels council would like to know why the Huron County Board of Education raised their requisition by nearly $11,000 over last year. The Brussels Post ex- plained that thjs year the requisition will be $65,474. The council plans to have local Board of Education representative Don McDonald attend the June 6 meeting to explain the large increases. Three . students will get summer jobs through a "Youth in • Action" grant awarded ,last week to the Brussels, Grey and Morris recreation committee. The $4,400 grant will be used to hire students to operate a program for pre- schoolt-.and school children. Included in the program will be maintenance and super- vision of the Lions wading pool operation of a craft workshop and recreational activities. The project will run from June 27 to September 22 and only students returning to high school, universities or colleges are eligible to apply. The new medical centre in Hensall opened on May 2 and it saw a busy day.

Manager Hugh Davis said that water costs would get much higher if the PUC had to purchase water meters. He explained that the same idea had been considered' several years ago and the costs were found to be extremely high. The cost of a single meter is now $100, plusinstallation fees. Davis noted that Hensall had discontinued the use of their water meters because of maintenance costs. Although Livingstone agreed that they would be costly he still feels that they must come. The St. Marys Journal - Argus reported 'that last Sunday ;s Bunny Bundle race was the best yet in its 10 year history.
