Victoria Harbour reeve Theo Bernard declared after a special Harbour council meeting Wed- nesday, that as chairman of that municipality's finance committee, he will recommend in budget preparations, that financial honorariums to councillors be discon- tinued, because, as he put, "the village is too poor.'" Bernard's declaration came following a heated exchange between himself and councillor Ann Connely, in which Mrs. Connely claimed that she was being un- fairly treated as far as financial remuneration for council duties was concerned. She suggested that while she had rightfully not been paid while absent from council duties, other councillors had been paid while in similar circumstances. She went on to charge that in fact, some councillors had missed more meetings than she had, while receiving more money. The exchange between Bernard and Councillor Connely was precipitated by a suggestion made on Ironside will speak to society Allan Ironside, a reknowned historian from Washago, north east of Orillia, is going to be the speaker at the next meeting of the Simcoe County Historical Society on April 11 The meeting, which is being held at the Simcoe County Museum, is titled "Geography, history and destiny: a presentation on the influence our geography has had on the history of Canada. Huronia and Simcoe County and how they have affected our destiny." SRY ss = Brian Studio the part of the reeve that the family of the late Ralph Gray be forwarded one-third of the former deputy-reeve's 1978 honorarium. While Bernard was explaining the rationale behind the proposal, Councillor Connely in- terjected with her allegations. One of the councillors she referred to was the late deputy- reeve Bernard countered Mrs. Connely's allegations by stating that although Mr. Gray and other councillors had missed meetings, extra work done at the com- mittee level warranted the money they' were receiving. Mrs. Connely persisted in her claims, stating to Bernard that '"'you think it's your privilege to do what you like." Newly-appointed de- puly-reeve, Florence Belcher interjected by saying--"If there's anyone to be privileged, it's him (Bernard)--he's the boss."" Visibly angered, Bernard went on to ask Mrs. Connely how many village business meetings she had attended during the month of January 1978, when the councillor had been vacationing When she replied that her absence was no different from other councillor's absences, Bernard ex- nladed "Do you think you were entitled to a nickel's pay?" he inquired. "No," replied Mrs. Connely, who went on to say, "I'm not talking about the month of January. Why is January any different from any other months? What's the difference--I could be arguing about August for all that matters." "You can argue what you want, but in my opinion, you did not earn any money in the month of January,' was the reeve's reply. "As far as I'm con- cerned, you can take my own honorarium, and give it to him,' Bernard continued, referring to the late Mr. Gray. "People here are so cheap." Mrs. Connely_ then attempted to introduce a motion to in fact, pay the honorarium to Mr. Gray's family. "T will not take any motions until a budget is brought down,"' the reeve responded emphatically. "You can go out and make your political hay." Bernard then quickly received a motion to adjourn the meeting. After it was passed, he made the statement to council concerning his intentions for councillor's honorariums. "In view of what has gone on today, and in view of the fact that I'm finance committee OPEN HOUSE on WOMEN'S EMPLOYMENT at the MIDLAND CANADA MANPOWER CENTRE audio-visual presentations displays on Manpower Services discussions with women in "'non-traditional" occupations opportunity to ask questions Bernard vows to halt Harbour honourariums goes through, you won't have many people run- ning during the next election,' she said. he declared. not without a_ parting Councillor Connely word of caution. : indicated that she would "I can tell you if it support such a move, but (Bernard's declaration) chairman, I'm going to recommend during budget preparations, that council be paid nothing," MEN CQKOUES announces. ry Canada's Lowest Cost Charter Flights to VANCOUVER :....°189 RETURN AIR FARE Non stop day flights via CP Air (4 -747 TORONTO-VANCOUVER Catours brings you unbelievable savings on charter flights to VANCOUVER.
