The water is covered with a green scum, and as can be seen, garbage dumped in by some thoughtless persons doesn't really float — it just sits on top of the stagnant river.

Gary Jewitt, who has been vice-principal at Seaforth Public School for the last five years will be assuming his duties in Exeter with the start of the new school year. Exeter's former vice-principal,' John Siertsema, who was new to the school last year, is moving to be principal at J.A.D. McCurdy school in Huron Park., • Mr. Jewitt, has been the educatjonal system in Huron Countyafor nine years, With two years in Clinton and two years in Holmesville before he went to Seaforth. He is looking forward to coming to Exeter. "It is new territory and it is always interesting meeting new people," he said. He said if he has any main philosophy about education, it is that the basics are very im- portant. He called himself a "bit of a traditionalist", "I think the basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic are still very important," he said. His main hobbies are sports and local history, He and his brother, Ron, who is principal at Zurich Public School also have a farm on the Hayfield River. "We don't do most of the work ourselves," explained Mr. Jewitt, but it is nice to be able to get out, — Continued from front page municipalities around Grand Bend, Councillor Teevins said he couldn't see why Bosanquet township should have the use of Grand Bend roads to go in and out of Southcott Pines, "Then they complain about congestion at the IGA corner," he said. "We should make them open another road". In his report on the PUC, Reeve Sharen cited more examples of lack of co-operation, He told council that Bosanquet does not have billing facilities for their water system and that Stephen township is not capable of servicing their water system, Grand Bend is supplying these services to the townships. "Therefore, we are supplying a service to Southcott Pines, and the Bosanquet and Stephen township area and we're getting nothing for it but abuse," said the Vic here fry.rn !Inc, 12. The items to be set out for the special pick-up are . those not normally picked up, Branches must be gathered in bundles or ties and branches and limbs must not be over six feet long. Leaves must be bagged or boxed and non-toxic burnable materials must be kept separate from the metal objects. There was some discussion also al the meeting as to the value of photo-copying each piece of im- portant correspondence so that each councillor can have his own copy, rather than reading each piece out, one at a time, and then calling for discussion, Councillor Des Jardins opposed the action saying that it was a waste of money; an unnecessary consumption of time in the clerk's office; 'and unfair for the writers to have more than one copy of their letter made. At the same time, however, he pointed out that anyone can come into the clerk's office during office hours and read the correspondence. Sea forth GARY JEWITT with his family in Clinton, and said that they plan to stay there, for the time being anyway. Mr. & Mrs. Harold Legg, Windfall Indiana visited with their aunt Mrs. Jennie Lawson and entertained her and her immediate family to dinner in the Tiffany Room, Dashwood Hotel, Monday evening. reeve. He admitted that the various municipalities are being, billed for these services, "But you said we're getting great co-operation from the townships," he went on, referring to a comment made earlier by Councillor Martin who said he still feels Grand Bend has a "pretty good relationship with the townships", "We're getting great co- operation when they want something," the reeve continued, "The point I'm making is that this is just another service Grand Bend is giving to surrounding areas with no return co- operation," He did not specify the kind of co-operation desired from the townships. It was decided that there is to be another special garbage pick- up this fall. It will be held the first week after Thanksgiving, October 9 to to putter around". Mr. Jewitt presently resides 0 0 The reeve said he thought it al comes saved considerable time during council meetings when each councillor can read the correspondence before hand and stressed that when he reads each letter separately, there is a danger of other council members minunderstanding the context. Councillor Teevins supported the reeve saying that it is much easier for him to keep track of and understand council business when he can see the correspondence for himself. "If the people take time to write the letters, we should take time to read each one carefully," said the reeve. It was decided to continue the practice on a trial basis for a ,month. / The reeve brought up another question before council -that of an airplane, which has been parked on town property. He said he was worried about danger to drafts on .1 the river when the plane is taking off and landing and particularly when the owner of the plane uses the boat ramp. Council established that he does have the right to use the river but not the boat ramp, and decided to contact proper authorities at the Ministry of Transportation and Com- munication with regard to the problem. Councillor Martin informed council that although the lifeguard program may be a little in the red after the summer, they have made enough on the boathouse and parking lot operations to more than recoup any possible loss. Death Of Exeter man arouses controversy Exeter council this week reversed a decision made early this year regarding subdivision roads, and the move may help prospective home builders in the Dow subdivision, In the spring, council turned down several requests for building permits in the sub- division because the subdivider had not provided roads and services to the lots in question. Dow appeared before council this week asking for recon- sideration of the ruling. He suggested he would post a bond in an amount equal to the estimated cost of a road past the lots. About a dozen lots are in- volved. Dow pointed out the ruling was delaying home construction in the subdivision, noting that some homes would have been started three or four months ago if permits had been approved. Some of the people requesting permits which had been turned CHRISTIAN GASCHO Christian Gascho passed-away in the Blue Water Rest Home, Zurich, August 19, 1973 in his 100th year. He was the husband of the late Mary Schwartzentruber and father of Amos' Gascho, RR 2, Zurich; Clarence, Zurich; Mrs. Seth (Rachel) Ammans; and Laura Gascho, Zurich. He was the brother of David, Boise, Idaho; Mrs. Emma Kipfer, Blue Water Rest Home; and Mrs, Ida Jantzi, Baden and is also survived by three grand- children and three great- grandchildren. Funeral service was held frbm the Zurich Mennonite Church August 22, 1973 with Westlake Funeral Home, Zurich in charge of arrangements. Interment was in the Men- nonite Cemetery.

A picture may be worth a thousand words — but not always, After viewing a picture of a proposed home planned by a local ratepayer, members of Exeter council this week couldn't reach agreement on whether or not it was a mobile home. The home is manufactured by Bendix Homes in Hensall and was described as a "double-wide mobile home" by Councillor Tom MacMillan. Reeve Derry Boyle said as far as he was concerned, it was a home, and not a mobile home. "It's not movable as a unit," he argued. Members agreed some clarification was needed, and turned the matter over to the planning board. Council did concur with a request from W. Adams, Chatham, that the former clinic of Dr. R. Roelofson, Huron St., be used as a sheet metal shop. A letter from Raymond and McLean indicated that neighbors in the area had cited no op- position to such a business being operated in 'the former veterinary clinic. down decided to build in other communities. Dow said all of the lots were sold but one and some con- tractors wanted to start basement excavations. He told council the road would be built this fall, and said a completion date could be men- tioned in the bond and if he failed to fulfil the obligation council could take the bond money and construct the road, Dow reported to council that the contractor hired to do the roads had been held up be wet weather in the spring and other jobs .he had contracted were not being completed as fast as ex- pected, He also noted the work on the roads could not start until the PUC had completed the water lines and laterals. This work is expected to be completed within 15 days. Works superintendent Glenn Kells was asked for his opinion of the situation, and he told council he couldn't see, holding the subdivision back as long as a bond was posted. Council agreed with that opinion and told Dow to prepare an agreement and post a bond, in consultation with the town's solicitor and after securing an estimate of the road cost from Kells. After Dow left the meeting, Kells said that a type of bonding would be a good idea in all future subdivision agreements. He said at the present time it is difficult for him to know how far his authority goes in supervising sewer work in subdivisions when the work is actually being un- dertaken on private land by a private contractor, Clerk Eric' Carscadden told council they would have to be giving some consideration to future subdivision agreements because he had been advised that Fred Darling planned to move ahead with his proposed sub- division south of the Dow sub- division, Near the end of the meeting, Kells reported that he had been advised by Len Veri that the latter planned to proceed with his mobile home park and sub- division in the north-east section of town and was wanting to have some indication when sewer outlets would be made available, Veri apparently plans to build several homes in the subdivision which separates his mobile home park from the existing homes north of the river. Some members of council expressed the opinion they would be unable to finance any sewer outlets until next year. Carscadden also explained that a subdivision agreement had not been secured as yet with Veri and 44ha t e li col t Ma: en signeoiror the mobile home- park itself. • ' .„ ,have _to have the agreements before anything is done," opined Reeve Derry Boyle. It was then suggested that Kells contact Veri and ask that he put his intentions in writing for council, outlining prospective dates of development. The recent death of an Exeter man has aroused considerable controversy over the efficiency and competency of the Home Dialysis Training Centre at Victoria Hospital :in London. Tim Bigelow, aged 25 who died in Victoria Hospital two weeks ago was a home dialysis patient. This means that he had to depend on a kidney machine to clean his blood stream because his own kidneys did not function. His death resulted in a brief being sent to the Ontario ministry of health by seven other home dialysis patients. The brief stated that although the patients were not challenging the competency of the medical advisers at the Victoria Hospital dialysis unit, they believed that "competent trained personnel" are not available at the centre. Mrs. Terry Paskaruk, the one nurse the group considered to be qualified had been dismissed. The two nurses left are still supposed to be "in training", Victoria Hospital chief of medicine and director of the renal unit, Dr, Adam Linton said the nursing staff at the centre is competent and reliable. He also said in a letter to patients that Tim Bigelow died because he failed to obey "stringent warnings given to him by the staff and failed to adhere to his dialysis plan or to his dietary and fluid restrictions," Mrs. Bigelow, Tim's wife of seven weeks said that her husband "valued his life enough" to follow instructions and take proper care of himself. Drugs and liquor keep police busy Drug and liquor investigations again made up the major portion of occurrences reported by the OPP detachments at Grand Bend and the Pinery Park this week. At Grand Bend, nine charges were laid under the Liquor Control Act, one under the Food and Drug Act and seven were charged with possession of marijuana under the Narcotic Control Act. There were two accidents and nine were charged under the Highway Traffic Act. Two thefts of under $200 were investigated, along with one offensive weapon and two wilful damage incidents. At the Pinery Park, 59 oc- currences and one accident were investigated. There were three charges under the Liquoi. Control Act, 13 under the Highway Traffic Act, three under the Criminal Code, one under the Narcotic Control Act and two under the Provincial Parks Act. A total of 31 people were evicted from the park for various reasons. Will oppose county force In a brief presented Thursday to the provincial task force on policing, Exeter's Reeve Derry Boyle suggested that the surrounding communities should combine their efforts with Exeter and share police cost. The hearing held in Sarnia was one of a series being held across Canada in order to submit a report on small town police forces to the Solicitor General, Reeve Boyle told the T-A Wednesday that if Hensall, Crediton, Zurich and Dashwood would help pay the costs then the local force could be increased. At present, policing costs in Exeter are $15 per capita although this could change when the salaries for the force are renegotiated this fall. "The OPP do not have enough men to cover all of this area properly." he said. An increased area force would allow the nine-man OPP detach- ment in Exeter more free time to patrol the highways. "We are very happy with our police." Reeve Boyle said. "They are a good force in my opinion but we want larger grants from the provincial government too," He said that most of the municipalities who presented briefs to the task force were all agreed that the provincial government should have a bigger share in the police costs, There also seemed to be agreement that police forces should not be centralized. He told the hearing that Exeter would oppose .a county police force because there is a "tug-of- war on almost all issues at the county council level between urban and rural." "I was adamant on that point." Reeve Boyle told the T-A later. He said that the hearings will probably go on for another year before a conclusion is reached. "They are a sounding board," he said. "They listen to all our beefs and our point of view." For the sake of the patients still living, Louise. Bigelow- wants it made clear "that Tim's death did not come from failure to adhere to instructions." The brief also asks for an inquiry into the situation, and .an inquest into the Bigelow death. Dr. Gordon, Judge, medical consultant, medical and nursing branch, personal care standards division of the ministry, said he is looking into the matter, An inquest has been called by coroner Dr, Robin Shearer at the request of the hospital. Dr. Linton said they wanted it "not because of mysterious circumstances surrounding his (Tim's) death, but because of the disturbance among the home dialysis patients". The coroner said Tim Bigelow's death was caused by pulmonary edema, water in his lungs, caused by kidney failure. Dr, Shearer said the inquest, to be held in late August or early September, had been called to settle public opinion. Tim, who was an employee of the IGA store in Exeter, was trained nine months ago at the dialysis centre by Mrs. Paskaruk, the nurse who has been dismissed, reportedly because of staff conflicts. She said he was a co-operative patient after initial adjustments, Dr. Linton said Tim was "rather bad at following instructions and EXETER UNITED CHURCH James at Andrew Minister: , Rev. Glen D.

The Exeter committee of ad- justment recently turned down a request to have the clinic severed from the rest of the property. Council learned from Mayor Jack Delbridge that Mr. Adams has purchased the business of Mery Cudmore. Several building permits were approved at Monday's meeting, including one for John Ridley to undertake renovations to the Willis house on Simcoe St. The home was that of Exeter's first settler. Other permits approved, all subject to final approval of the building inspector, were as follows: Gordon Hodgert, erect carport at 183 Andrew; Ausable-Bayfield Authority, renovate house at Riverview Park; John Hern, erect carport at 290 Sanders E.; M. Coolman, erect fence at 332 Andrew; G. Becker, aluminum siding, 103 Park; J. Reder, renovate house on Huron; E. Jackson, renovate house at 92 John; Wilson Jewellery, store renovations; John Daniels, en- close carport. 213 Marlborough; M. Ryckman, renovate veran- - dah; G. MacDonald, siding and renovation at 106 William. Shingling permits were also approved for J. Glover, W. Davis and Mrs. 0, Atkinson. Although they approved renovations for the Ausable- Bayfield Authority house in Riverview Park, members decided to write the Authority and ask for clarification on the ownership and the present terms of reference regarding the town's interest in the facilities. It was indicated that the Authority plans to rent the home as a private residence. gwhe altirdleS in the area Invite you to join them for Worship, Fellowship and Services times-Advocate, August 23, 1973
