Introducing our new "ANCHOR" column and much more... to discuss the proposed Family Resource Centre and also to air their concerns about the approach that the province is taking in regards to the setting up of this centre for battered women. Council listened to their presentations and directed their questions to the members. More on this will follow in upcoming issues. Reeve Speer and Councillor Kennedy were not in attendance and Councillor Ramsey was appointed as acting head of council. Correspondence Mrs. M. Hamilton tendered her resignation as Council's appointee to the Boards of McCausland Hospital and also for the District Home for the Aged. Council accepted her resignation with regret and also thanked her for her past years of service. A replacement for her, is being sought after. The Aguasabon Golf Club requested assistance from council for work on #1 Green. The Green should be rebuilt and council decided that they would donate the equipment and the manpower as they were made available to do so. The work should be done well before next year's season begins. New Business A motion was passed by council to donate the sum of $1000 to the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium on behalf of the township. A report and estimates were given to council, concerning the Industrial Subdivision servicing. Services are now being handled by an informal series of lines. Council looked into the possibility of installing proper permanent municipal services for the area. An estimate for the work was given in surplus of $300,000. Council decided to hold back on this proposal for future budget consideration and to look into having it completed at a lower cost if possible. As mentioned in last month's council reports, specs were to be drawn up concerning the office building landscaping and wording for the plaques to be erected on the stones to mark the W.J. Hanley building and also the cemetary. Peter Monks of the Terrace Bay Horticultural Society submitted ideas for this and it was decided that no elaborate landscaping would be done at this time, however plaques have been ordered and plans for the dedication ceremony will follow shortly. continued on page 12 MacAlpine Victorious! For those of you who have been following the saga - "MacAlpine vs. M.N.R."' - you will be relieved to hear that the Ministry has lost their appeal against the rein- statement of the fired" Nipigon forester, Don MacAlpine. MacAlpine, who was fired by the M.N.R. back in March of '82 after leaking informa- tion to MPP Jack Stokes concerning timber allo- cations on the Black Bay Peninsula, was ordered to be reinstated last November by the On- tario Public Service Grievance Settlement Board. Minister of Natu- ral Resources, Alan Pope, then fileld for a judicial review in divi- sion court (of the Supreme Court of On- tario). Although MacAIl- pine was reinstated and is still on the Ministry -- payroll, he has not been working directly for the Nipigon ministry. The three Ontario judges who sat on the appeal board in Toronto last Tuesday, Septem- ber 27th, agreed that the grievance settlement board had fully under- stood the definition of the oath of secrecy in the Public Service Act and that they would in no way reverse the board's decision on reinstating the fired forester. Along with this decision, the Ministry was also order- ed to pay all court costs incurred by MacAl- pine's union. It may not be over yet though - as the M.N.R. can still apply to the Ontario Court of Appeal for permission in order to appeal last week's decision by the panel of judges. When asked his react- ion to the panel's deci- sion, MacAlpine stated that he was very pleas- ed. 'I'm happy that it's all over and I'm looking forward to resuming my duties as forester."' When questioned as to whether or not the Ministry would take act- ion on the panel's deci- sion, he replied, "I don't anticipate any problems but I hear that they might 'try ap- pealing.'"' Don wasn't sure as to what route that the Ministry would take, if they did decide to go ahead with their appeal. He figures that it will likely take about a week and a half before the paper work is done and wasn't sure as to a date when he could go back to work. Good luck Don ... and congratulations!
