development Preliminary steps were taken last year under the leadership of Reeve Earl Brandon who again heads the village council The present population is around 800 but there are quite few morelivinginthe vicinity Action taken in improvmg water and sewage services is expected to help encourage development Annexation would mean these would have to be extended but there would be more taxpayers to share the costs ANNIVERSARIES There also has been some early discussion about whether plans should be made for suitable celebration for the 70th anniversary of achievmg village status

counCillors were Tipping Manning Robinson and Elliott RIIEVE BRANDON Reports progress It also has been suggested it might be more appropriate to wait until 1979 when the com munity could celebrate its celi tennial as Village In 1879 this place was deSignated police Village by Medonte council With its own board of trustees Iwen tynine years later it separated from the township ad ministration altogether Willi in corporation and its own elected councd KEEP IDENTITY Villagers many of descendants of them pioneer families are anxious to see the community identity retained in any municipal or regional restructuring Reeve Brandon has emphasized this aspect at various times during his terms in office The Goldwater reeve who is wellknown local busuiessman also has stressed Goldwater wants to continue to be administered by locally elected council with authority over local affairs Any regional changes which do not recognize this deSire are strongly op posed Ihe beginnings of Goldwater and the surrounding com munily go back two centuries according to the history of the area Site of onetime trading post near the mouth of the Cold water River on Matchedasli Bay in the nearby vicinity is marked by plaque which has been Viewed With interest by many ViSitors as well as area reSidenls George Gowan operated the trading post in 1778 the in scription notes The log building and two cabins were built on stone foundations Af ter the buddings were swept by fire and dismtegrated all that remained for years were three stone chimneys and the location became known as The Chim neys IIISIORR 31111 Another plaque inside the Village DOSldt the historic mill now operated by Argyle Fplett refers further to the history of the community The inscription reads In 1830 Indians of the surrounding region were gathered on reserve along newly opened road connecting the Narrows and Goldwater Ihe superin tendent Captain Ihomas Gum mersal Anderson and band of Ojibwa under Chief Aisance settled in Goldwater Land hungry settlers influenced the government to move the In dians to Rama and Beausoleil Island in 183839 Financed by Indian funds provided by the government the first grist mill was con structed by Stephen Chapman Jacob Gill and others in 1833 The mill was sold to George Copeland in 1849 Portions of the present mill date back to the original struc ture when it was operated by waterpower Ihe buidling has been remodelled at various times and electric power in stallations were made over 40 years ago Mr Epletls father the late Charles Eplett who was county warden in 192 pur chased the mill from the Shep pard Estate that year plaque in front of the library on Main street not far from the mill honors one of Goldwaters greatest athletes of all time George Ray won many track and field com petitions and held the shot ptitting championship of America back in the 1880s Evans reviews differences in new economic forecasts By ARTIILR EVANS MPP Siincoe Centre Traditionally New Years messages are laden with op timistic predictions about economic growth and the future shape of our society Uri doubtedly some of you are highly aware of the con tradictory elements contained in reports from the Economic CounCil of Canada or the private economic forecasting concern the Conference Board in Canada The Economic CounCil speaks more optimistically about future economic growth rates than the Conference Board The range of the economic growth rate proceeds from per cent to the optimistic 45 to per cent for 1977 Each organization starts With dif ferent sets of assumptions to make their predictions Yet the public senses and senses cor rectly that the Economic Coun cils predictions are too rosy to reflect current realities over rates of inflation and unemployment The Con lerence Board approaches these concerns more senSibly and realistically NATIONAL PRIORITY Despite what the federal government keeps saying about the necessdy to bring home the British North America Act from Great Britain and the need to speak up about the role of Quebec in Confederation conSidering the presence of separatist government in Quebec these issues do not have the burning quality which concern over the Canadian economy has Canadians see these issues as rather abstract and far away despite their importance lhey want action to protect their economic security and their own future prosperity In that sense Premier William DaVis in his New fear message outlined what the role of government must be to secure these lbjttilVOS Goveix nment has the broad respon Sibility to ensure climate of confidence in which all groups can achieve their legitimate aspirations That means that people must expect that they can go to work use their tools or brielcascs to earn living with sellrespect and hope but Without pressure or llltCIlLlttICt BtSlNIJSSRIGIII It means that business has the right to earn fair profit to continue the enterprises eXistence and to employ people With all their skills to that end It means that Citizens expect their government to preserve and to protect the public iii terest with neither fear nor favor Translated practically that means people want to one 103 safe streets decent housing affordable health care and sound education the right to have economic security in old age and to advance economically after working hard in their particular en deavour Now lot of people Wlll point to these things as ibvious as here and now Of course they are correct to great extent Still do not believe that stating the obvious is time wasting because these things need to be said from time to time IOO FORCEFll They need to be said because people sometimes forget that the role of government fias in the past become too active and forceful in governing our society lhal is instead of proViding framework of social serVices government has entered into large number of businesses in which it had no business to be in the first place good example of that is havmg the state run atito lll surance schemes or mines businesses which government knows little about to begin With In fact government has had to rely upon the expert capacity of the very people from those iii dustries to see it through critical times SIAY AS RICIIIRIZI ur citizens want govern ment to carry out those tasks assigned to in by the RNA Act or through the defence of the public interest And they expect government to carry out these assignmean effectively and er ticicntly Nobody has to guess that the Citizen does not want govern ment getting any more Ill volved in the daily affairs and actiVilies of society Govern ment should be good referee of the ball game and not one of the players as Well In 1977 that latter sentiment remains very strong Do well what is now before government and please do not launch iiilo new and expanded programs Let the private enterprise system regain its strength and vitality to proVide Ol op portunities and real chance to grow ltirough such guarantee

topographical mapping of marshy area along the ln nisfil Creek two miles upstream Will be included in the fill and floodline mapping of the entire watershed area in township The original cost estimate of $26942 for the prOJect Will Jump by $7000 to $33942 to pay for the additional work Innisfil township Will pay 25 per cent of the bill and the pro VinCial mismtry of natural resources pays the remainder Norman Goldstein of Dillon Ltd the consulting firm which has the contract for the mapping work told the NVCA executive committee last week the additional mapping is re qUired to determine the floodline for waters created by major storm With this information he said the township could establish regulations to prohibit building in the affected area The area is now used for vegetable crops which require wet groWing areas The flooding problem Mr Goldstcin said is created by culverts under Highway 400 which are too small to handle major storm rtinofl Waters If the highway werent OIIIICIQ IllSlItltT NIIWH IIICRSO PANIC Ill there there would be no pro blem he said The highway acts like dam Asked if the NVCA and the township should ask the provin cial ministry of transportation and communications MIGl to increase the capacity of the culverts Mr Goldstein said the MIC would probably not agree it it is happy With present culverts He added that the flooding problem was not severe until Highway 400 was Widened and two service roads were bunt on the east side of the highway The NVCA Will meet With the township next week to discuss the proposal Discuss plansat Holly for
