Wingham Advance-Times, 1981-05-18, Page 2The Opening of his Office for the practice of Dentistry, ott, 395 Josephine $,t. Wingham By A,ppointrnent357.2555 Advance -Times, May 18. 1 1 anosh approves ship rk changes to to The Fast Wawanosh Park will undergo several changes this year. The park will offer clearly marked camping sites and will be policed more rigorously. Bryan Howard of the Maitland Valley Con- servation Authority attended the May 5 council meeting to discuss the proposals. The park belongs to the township, therefore any changes must be discussed and cleared by council. Mr. Howard said because of loose controls in the past a "hit and miss" situation of uses and controls existed. The MVCA suggested several improvements. Mr. Howard proposed 15 camp- sites with a possibility of up to 20 more sites being added in the future. A $4.00 fee per site for overnight camping will recover some of the operating costs. Day use of. the park will remain free. It also• was suggested a local resident be appointed to police the park on a regular basis. The MVCA intends to place additional officers at the park for, the May 24th weekend, but it cannot patrol the park f ull- . time. Mr. Howard said the park could draw a lot of tourist trade if properly publicized. He suggested placing signs on Highways 4 and 86 if approval is granted by the MTC. Council agreed with the suggestions and authorized Mr. Howard and the MVCA to go ahead with the im- .provenents. Councillor Jim Taylor said the sentiment expressed by residents at the township's secondary plan meetings seemed to be to segregate recreation .into one area; therefore the park shoule ue developed to its capaci iy . • In other business Clerk - Treasurer Winona Thomp- son told council the arena reinspection report has been received from B.M Ross and Associates of Goderich. The engineer recom- mended that all bolted connection repairs should be tightened; the bolts and nuts should be painted and the roof watched for leeks There was no deterioration found in the lumber and in general the arena is in good condition. The engineer's fee for the reinspection is $367.65. Council made a motion. approving the purchase of a new fire truck for the Wingham Fire Department. East Wawanosh will contrib- ute 18 per cent of the cost or $8,100, which will be included in the 1981 budget. Building Inspector Irvine Gethke presented four ap- plications for building permits: Darrell Wood of Lot 29, Con. 3, a1rail&- Bill Tay- lor of Lot 35, Con. 6, two steel granaries; Jim Hallahan of Lot 38, , Con. 4, a machinery storage shed; and,. Earl Young of Lot 38, Con. 10, a pole construction workshop. Mr. Gethke will become a member of the Ontario Building Officials Associa- tion. This will entitle him to association publications and seminars. The $25 member- ship fee is to be paid by council. Council was informed that Wayne Caldwell has been , hired by the Huron County planning department to /assist in the preparation of zoning bylaws and in a first - i. draft of the township's secondary plan. Mr. Caldwell will be employed from May 4 .to Sept. 4 at $184per week. East ' Wawanosh will contribute $1,200 toward his wages as will Turnberry. Tbb remainder will be paid by the provincial government. Charlie Smith of Blyth was in attendance to ask that the township put a pipe across --the concession road at Lot 33; CAn.7.b .. , Mr. Smith` attienifed on behalf of' the farm owner, Warren Gear of Kitchener.

Council learned that ap- i�own council Continued from Front Page need it badly' I'n their report. the Woods Gordon consultants iden- tified a need for 24 units of seniors' housing, with seven units to be rental -assisted and the other 17 rented at cost. They added that beyond the needfior seniors' units, they found a rather limited demand for housing in Wingham. The population of the town has grown only moderately over the past 10 years, they noted, and in fact declined during the period 1971-76. On the other hand, the percentage of population aged 65 and aver has been growing steadily since 1971 and this pattern is expected to continue for the fore- seeable future. Senior citizens represent 18.3 per cent of the total population in Wingham, as compared to a 'provincial average of 8.9 per cent. For the town as a whole, the : consultants project ,a moderate population growth of 0.4 per cent from 1931-86 and 0.1 per cent from 1986-9f, yielding a population of 2,985 in 1986 and 2,998 in 1991. This translates into a housing need of an additional 12 units per year during the next decade, the report says, with the bulk of the demand coming by 1986. It notes that Wingham is unusual among small Ontario towns in that there is a larger than average rental sector. In 1976, 68 per cent of ail 'using tOWn was owner-otcupiet' and 32 per cenryi'ds rented. Most rural towns tend to have higher rates of owner occupancy. LIQUIDATION SALE!

DENTAL SURGEON Township Of East Wawanosh Auditor's Report TO: The members of Council, Inhabitontt and Ratepayers of the Township of East Wawanosh We have examined the consolidated balance sheet of the Town- ship of East Wawanosh as et December 31. 1980 and the_consolid- ated statements of .revenue and expenditure, capital operations, and reserve and reserve funds continuity and analysis of year end position for the year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and ac- cordingly included such tests and other procedures as we consid- ered necessary in the circumstances, except es explained in the following paragraph. Due to a lack of internal control, our examination of the books and records of the local boards was limited to an examination of the receipts and disbursements as recorded in the books of the lo- cal boards. Accordingly. we were unable to determine whether any adjustments might be necessary to municipal revenue - fees and service charges, municipal expenditures - recreation and cult- ural services, cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and local boards accumulated net revenue. In our opinion, except for the effect ofeadjustments, if any, which we may have determined to be necessary concerning the above, these consolidated financial statements present fairly the financial position of the Township of Est Wawanosh as at Decem- ber 31, 1980 and the results of its operations for the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for Ontario municipalities applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year, Listowel Ontario April 3, 1981 MacGillivray 5 Co.
