Valued at $120.00 Year end deficit not upsetting The board of directors of the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre is pleased with a $22,400 deficit at the end of the first full fiscal year of independent operation. The Friends of the Wye Marsh rescued the Centre when the federal govern- ment announced the Cen- tre would be closed, as one of its deficit-cutting measures. After applica- tion to and negotiation with the federal govern- ment, the Centre became the responsibility of the Friends in April, 1985. The Friends started with a $200,000 grant and an in- terest free loan of $300,000. The loan is to be repaid within five to 10 years. The board is pleased with a $22,400 deficit in the first fiscal year, balanced against an operating budget of $234,000. A first fiscal year deficit of $25,000 was projected. The federal government was spending $250,000 a year to operate the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre. "We're not stable but we're that close to breaking even. The board has to decide where we are going to go, and what new pro- grams we should offer, over the next five years," Centre director Bob Whit- tam said. 'I suppose that's our next goal." The membership of the Wye Marsh Wildlife Cen- tre has more than tripled, to more than 1,200. In dollars this means more than $40,000 income com- pared to $13,000. Other donations have totalled $20,000. Interest on the loan and the grant money came to $60,000. Net in- come from the store mann- ed by volunteers was $10,000. Regular bingo games, a wildlife festival, and other events, produc- ed $28,000. Elected to the board of directors last Thursday were Rick Sorgini, Doug Fox, Dan Middleton, Con- rad Stenton, and Tom Hawkins. Re-elected were Nadine Goman, Herb Con- nell, Gord Smellie, and Diane Stewart. In the mid- dle of a two year term are Robbert Hartog, Jim Worts, Walter Kluck, and Matt Parry. Retiring board members Mike Hines, Gerry Giesecke, John Lucas, and Robert Martin were honoured. That same evening, local MP Doug Lewis praised the group, during his town hall meeting in Midland, for having "written the book" on successfully tak- ing over a government operation. The Centre "'has expanded beyond belief,"' he said. Preparation for the se- cond wildlife festival is well underway. More con- servation events are being planned. A new event to be added to turtle racing is minnow racing. The min- nows swim through lengths of plastic tube. Ar- tists are being contacted and a publicity brochure is being prepared. The 1987 festival will be held Sept. 19 and 20. Final grant received The Ministry of Municipal Affairs has authorized the final pay- ment for the Township of Tay's community planning grant. The township has receiv- ed a total of $13,654 from the ministry for the com- pletion of a Secondary Plan for Forest Harbour. The secondary plan, which has taken the township and the Forest Harbour Ratepayers Association almost a year and a half to prepare, has yet to be approved by the ministry. The announcement of the final payment of $1,048.14 was made by Municipal Affairs Minister Bernard Grandmaitre on Feb. 18. Community plan- ning grants are designed to encourage municipalities to review and update their planning programs, zoning bylaws and other planning documents.
