It won't be a vacuum cleaner salesman trying a new sales pitch. Dan Kennaley, a researcher from the University of Guelph, has been hired by the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA 1 to conduct the survey and find out how much people know and how they feel about conservation and the conservation authority. Mr. Kennaley used to work for the ABCA and is now completing his masters degree in the University of Guelph's School of Rural Planning and Development. He says the results of the survey will enable the Conser- vation Authority to improve many of its pro- grams. "The conservation movement in On- tario'has always recognized the importance of grassroots co-operation and has further recognized that this co-operation is largely dependent on people having a positive at- titude toward conservation. We want to find out how wide spread and .how strong peo- ple's attitudes toward conservation are, but we also want to find out what factors con- tribute toward those attitudes." Mr. Kennaley will be concentrating on the flooding, soil erosion and water quality aspects of the Conservation Authority's work since these programs are highest on the ABCA's list of priorities. The survey will take three to four weeks to conduct. "We are contacting a sample of 300 people" says Mr. Kennaley, "and each telephone interview will take approximately 20 minutes. The telephone numbers will be selected random- ly which means that we will be able to generalize the results to the entire 42,586 people living within the Authority's jurisdiction." "If we know what factors contribute to people's attitudes to the Conservation 4uthority we can make recommendations as to how the conservation authority can make people more aware of the need for the wise use of our natural environment." • Pam MacGregor from Parkhill and Al Pym from Usborne Township will be assisting Mr. Kennaley in conducting the telephone interviews, coding the data and entering it into a computer in preparation for analysis. A report is expected to be ready by the end of September. CLINTON NEWS RECORD WEDNESDAY, JULY 30, 1986 Page 3 New arena roof will cost only $18,800 By Anne Narejko CLINTON - By September 1 of this year, the arena here will be re -shingled, with the work valued at $18,800. The recreation committee received six tenders that ranged in price from $18,800 to $45,000 for labor and material. They for- warded a recommendation to council that the $18,800 tender from Jim Thompson Carpentry, Seaforth, be accepted. Council members questioned the large price difference, but Clinton Recreation Committee Chairman Ron McKay said all firms tendered on the same specifications. He also said members\of the committee had priced the matrials at ' approximately $13,000. Mr. McKay stated he felt the dollar dif- ference warranted going out of town. Council passed a motion at their July 21 meeting, allnwina the recreation committee Auburn residents host Scottish delegate By David Emslie AUBURN - For the week of July 19 to July 26, the Cunninghams, who reside between Auburn and Blyth, hosted a delegate from the Sottish Association of Young Farmers. Their guest, Mary Dunn from the town of Stirling, has been in Canada since May 30 as part of an exchange program between the Young Farmers and the Junior Farmers of Ontario. Miss Dunn explained she came to visit Canada through being interviewed a few times for her area in November of 1985, and later being interviewed on the national level in February of 1986. "It has to do with what you have done with the Young Farmers. They ask you how you deal with certain situations," she said. "You have to have the personality to handle com- ing over and living with people. You can't be shy." She first, became interested in the trip through to ng with people who had travel- ed abroad with the Young Farmers, and were very positive about it. "I jrnew a girl who came over (to Canada). and -she said it was a great opportunity. I'm glad I did it," she said. Tom and Iia Cunningham managed to have Miss Dunn staying at their farm through their daughter, Linda, being a member of the Junior Farmers. Miss Cunningham explained that at the county meeting for the Junior Farmers they asked if anyone was interested in hosting a delegate. When she found out Miss Dunn was„working in the same field, as a teacher, it herd her make the decision to take a delegate. She also gave this reason, "I have always been interested in Scotland, and I would like to go on an exchange myself. I have learned so much from Mary, it is almost like going holidays for teachers. Since her arrival Miss Dunn has been staying with different families in different counties across Ontario. "You learn far more that way, it is a great way of finding out about the way of life," she said. "It is like being part of the family, not a guest." While staying with each •family° she has i hild tlienpporkinity fora IOW sightseeing. ' "M04-irreaell county I havqseen the local attractions," she said. • In Huron County she was taken to the Blyth Festival, the Goderich:jail and har- bor, and into Perth County to the Stratford Festival, as well as other attractions. Other areas she has visited include Niagara'Falls, Upper Canada Village and Peterborough, where she traveled down the locks in a canoe. One of her favorite excur- sions so far, though, was a white water raf- ting trip down the Ottawa River with the other delegates. Upon arriving in this country on May 30 her first impression was of the heat. "The first -thing that hit us wasthe heat, the hot weather," she said. "Then it stared raining and I was convinced we must haVe brought the rain with us from Scotland." Another point she found interesting was the vastness of Ontario, and the distance people will travel to visit. "They es think k nothing of driving two go visti," she said. This tied in with her comparison of gas prices between Canada and Scotland. "It is about twice as much in Scotland," she said. Throughout her stay she said people have been very friendly, and she would some day like to return to Canada. "Canadians are very, very friendly," she said. "Very hospitable." to nave the work done at $18,800. In the budget, $35,000 had been- set aside for the job. Good Work After going over the Clinton Recreation Committee's budget to date, Councillor Case Buffinga found they were "doing a heck of a job" staying within this year's budget. "I think congratulations should be sent to the committee for their efforts," said Coun- cillor Buffinga. •LACAC Resignation Nancy Fisher-Vossen's resignation as the chairperson of Clinton's Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee was read and accepted during council's July 21 meeting. No reason for her resignation was includ- ed in the letter. Be careful this weekend TORONTO - The "Strict is Fair" policy of highway traffic enforcement is still in ef- fect, with Ontario Provincial Police officers concentrating on impaired driving, ex- cessive speed and seat belt use during the coming Civic Holiday weekend. The August 4 Civic Holiday weekend marks the height of the summer vacation season - a time when cottage country traffic reaches its peak density. Impaired driving and excessive speed continue to be the major contributors to fatal collisions on the province's highways. A total of 19 people died as a result of 11 fatal motor vehicle accidents, on roadways patrolled by the OPP, during the 1985 Civic Holiday weekend. In contrast, not a single life was lost on Ontario roads patrolled by the OPP during this year's July 1 Canada Day holiday. "The 'Strict is Fair' campaign is the most effective means we have to make the com- ing Civic Holiday weekend as safe as possi- ble for the traveling public," said OPP Com- missioner Archie Ferguson. In a bid to save lives, the OPP R.I.D.E. Program and radar units will be used to full effect, and officers will place special atten- tidn on the use of seat belts.
