# ...to accept MVCA fill line
had sent a letter to the
MVCA stat g that it didn't feel obligated
°to pay tete special fill line mapping levy
because it considered the mapping too
inaccurate for planning development.
The township alsd refused to pay because
it said it hadn't been notified of the work
and hadn't been asked its permission.
Council *embers also fear some of the
'power}egistration of the fill line map-
ping would give to the conservation
authority. If given approval by a
municipality and approval by the local
MPP and the province, fill line mapping
can be registered with the province.
Registration would allow a conservation
authority to stop development of projects
it can show are hazardous.
i'You get the impression that they want;
more authority, more to say, they want a
finger in every pie,„ Coun. Ben Maida,
council's representative on the authority,
melte.eet. .
tteewith the MVCA
representatives argued that the
laltte rapping would be used only as a
delle and would provide a small
1AcipalittiyeTurnberry with more
resources on which to base development
decisions .in hazardous areas.
Gary Davidson, Huron County planner,
said other municipalities have voiced the
same concerns about control of
development- ,Once the mapping is
registered, development within fill lines
would have to be approved by the MVCA,
but under different criteria.
Assuming that a municipality has half
its land area within fill lines "half of your
building control you're giving away to
the Maitland Valley Conservation
Authority and they have a veto eontrol,"
Mr. Davidson explained. Turnberry
Reeve Don Eadie said control of
development is the most important part
of the township objection to fill line
mapping as proposed by the authority.
Other council members objected to the
proposal that once the fill line mapping is
registered the conservation authority
would have the final say about whether -
building permits would be issued within
the fill lines.
TOWNSJiIP COULD
DEVELOP GUIDELINES
After the MVCA executive committee
had left, Mr. Davidson told council it
could avoid turning over control to the
authority and still have control measures
acceptable to provincial authorities.
"You can implement the same control
program they (MVCA officials) can," he
said. "There's no requirement that you
turn the control program over to them."
The towgship could develop its own
one -in -100 Year flooding criteria, which is
the level recommended by the federal
government and may soon be adopted by
the -provincial government.
The authority to issue building permits'
and plan for development remains with
local authorities until the local municipal
council assigns the authority to some
other agency, Mr. Davidson said.
Township solicitor Murray Elston said
though MVCA officials describe fill line
mapping as a guideline, "when they say
no (to the issue of a building permit) it's

eat the last of the Christmas
turkey, our thoughts turn to New
Year's Eve.!On this the first night
e of a brand new year, shining and
11 full of hope and promise for all,
as we once again start out with an
ext untarnished record.
y For years this special night has
been celebrated all around the
k world, at different times and in
different ways. In countries that
re use the Julian Calender, such as
Russia and Greece, New Year's
- Day is celebrated on Janu
while our Jewish friends start
y their new year on September 6
But regardless of time of year,
- most Countries of the world bring
in the new year with some sort of
special celebration. Oriental
countries welcome the new year
with firecrackers and gala feasts
and dances. Other nations keep
watch all New Year's Eve to
herald the coming of the new
year. As we all know, North
Americans also celebrate New
Year's in a variety of ways. Some
consider it an extension of Christ-
mas as it continues to be a family`
time of love and good cheer.
Others use it as a partying time m
where friends can welcome the to
year's first minute, together. ti
But perhaps New Year's, as a
Christmas, is not recognized for en
what it really is. This time of fr
year should be a time of re- fi
evaluating ourselves and setting on
new goals or adjusting the old be
ones. It is a period of looking ch
loser at ourselves and deciding co
what parts of us we should la
change and what we should •sun
retain. Let us not confuse our- ev
selves, though, about the true bee
importance of these resolutions. to
Contrary to popular opinion,
these new goals need not be ones
that will shake the world or even
ones that will be known by any-
one else but yourself. At times,
the most worthwhile resolutions
are those thatare the least con-
spicuous. So as 'this new year
rolls in let us, in some small way,
better ourselves and thus the
world. Whether it be by deciding
that 'when in doubt, do the
friendliest thing', or that you will
abandon some bad habit, or that
you will somehow halt the steady
march of inflation, stand true to
your goals, and be happy.
TWO IDEAS FOR
THE NEW YEAR:
State of Mind
If you think you are beaten, you
are.
If you think you dare not, you
don't.
If you'd like to win but think you
can't, It's alsmost a cinch that
you won't
If you think you'll lose, you've
lost.
For out in the world you'll find
Success begins with a fellow's •
will —
's all in the state of mind.

Mr. Davidson said as long as the
number of applications for buil
permits within fill lines and the flood
plain don't increase substantially, the
present township methods will probably
be enough to prevent hazardous
' developmeaiit.
Currently when Turnberry council gets
a building permit application which
might fall within a hazard area, the
council makes an inspection of the
proposed building site. The township can
make conditions on the approval of a
permit, including landscaping and flood -
proofing. The township also requires a
safe -harmless clause in some cases,
which is a landowner's admission that
the township will not be held responsible
for flooding damage.
Mr. Eadie said
spublic input at
secondary plan development meetings
earlier this year indicated (that township
residents aren't in favor of?accepting th
fill line mapping because of its inac-
curacy and the control the MVCA would
gain.

JUNIOR GIRLS'
VOLLEYBALL
The Junior girls started their
first game of the season the same
way the Seniors did in the way of
being nervous. However, they
won their first game against
Walkerton by working together
as a team.
The second game proved a
little disappointing, as they lost
to Walkerton by a close score.
This, defeat however, did not dis-
courage the Juniors, as they
easily regained control and won
the next three games.,
Judgingby. the sets and spik;
of +the Juniors, they look ae
though they will have a promis-
ing season.

On Thursday, Dec. 14, the
enior girls from Madill played
Walkerton in their first game of
the season. Although it was only
n exhibition game the girls were
ather nervous for the first game
nd, as a result, Walkerton won
on Madill errors.
The next five games proved
sy wins for the girls as their
pikes were good and they had
ll -controlled plays. Although
Ikerton put up a hard fight, it

watch the Diplomats in action.
Before the game started, the
Diplomats put on a display done
in a tcirele and the only things to
be seen were the players° shoes
and the. basketball. Throughout
the game. the Diplomats dis-
played their sense of good humor
by plaguing one another with
insults as well as their excellent
ball handling.
The teachers played against
the Diplomats in the first half and
put their best effort forward as
the senior boys did in the second
half. The Diplomats stopped the
game at intervals,to displhy their
humor to the audience. One good
example was when one of the
Diplomats took Mr. Elliott out
into the center of the floor and in-
formed his teammates that Mr.
Elliott was a television star. The
other Diplomats had a hard time
believing this and they finally
asked which television star Mr.
Elliott was. The player pointed to
Mr. Elliott and replied, "He's the
Pillsbury dough boy."
In between halves Joanne
Sanderson ,made a draw for two
poinsettias courtesy of the school
greenhouse which were won by
Alison Roberts and Mike Weber.
Then the cheerleaders came onto
the floor and gave an excellent
account of themselves as they en-
couraged the fans to cheer on our
home team. Although the Diplo-
mats won by a close score of 50 to
48, it was a fun filled evening and
