CADETS PULL — Captain Janice Frayne pulls vocally as Ed Morrison, Alex Irvine, Tony Jones, Bill McDonald and John Osgood participate in a tug-of-war as part of Thursday's inspection of the Huron-Middlesex Cadet Corps. Tuckersmith again delays decision on manure tanks By WILMAOKE Tuckersmith Township council Tuesday postponed for a second time any decision on a by-law regulating liquid manure storage tanks or lagoons. A proposed by-law was given first reading last Tuesday but was sent back for Clerk Jack McLachlan to revise. This week the revised by law was given second reading discussed at great length and was returned for rivision again, to be ready for the July 3 meeting. In the original proposal for the need to regulate the storage of liquid manure, Deputy Reeve Robert Bell had stressed the need for the tanks to be given a cover to cut down on odours, while Councillor William Brown was more concerned about safety of people working around unfenced lagoons and snowmobilers. When it was reported at last week’s meeting that forcing a farmer to put a top on his tank would mean doubling his cost of con struction, the cover idea was omitted from the revised by law. Three concerned farmers attended the meeting- Donald Papple, Robert Broadfoot and Kenneth Moore, and joined in the debate. Mr. Papple asked why tops had been considered for cement tanks but not on lagoons, stating that this would increase the cost for the man with the tank, and would encourage farmers to construct the lagoon type. Deputy Reeve Bell said, “I don’t see why the council needs to be concerned about safety, that is up to the in dividual.” He agreed with Councillor Robert Fotheringham that council should draw the line and do away with dirt tanks and permit only closed cement. Councillor Frank Falconer said, “I think we should draw a line through the whole things. File it for six months.” Donald Papple told council “You are ten years too late in doing the by-law, now the tanks are being put in properly with the new guideline of the Department of Agriculture. The old tanks will continue to cause the trouble.” Robert Broadfoot said, “One thing you have to think about is that the fans cause most of the trouble, and this would exist whether the tank is enclosed or open lagoon. Robert Broadfoot asked the clerk what would happen if earthen dugouts were banned, then if Seaforth wanted to expand the town lagoon (located in Tuckersmith Township) would the town be stopped. The deputy reeve said that he didn’t think the govern ment could be stopped, and Mr. Broadfoot asked, “Why would you think you have the right to stop individuals if you can’t stop the provincial government?*’ Mr. Broadfoot asked that “Instead of trying to set your own by-laws could you not work with the ministry of the environment to set up an animal unit factor based on the ministry ruling, the line fence, the nearest high way. ” Clerk McLachlan pointed out the ministry of the en vironment is supposed to supervise but are not en forcing the guidelines until a complaint is registered. Complaints? Kenneth Moore asked if many people came to council meetings to complain about manure odours in the township. Reeve Sillery said no one had been to council to complain for years but co’mplaints were made to individual members of council. He said council feels things will get out of hand entirely if carried on as at present time. “All we hope is to control some of it, we can’t expect to control it all.” Councillors Falconer and Brown moved and seconded a motion to scrap the by-law but the reeve and Councillor Fotheringham said they could not go for that as too much time had been put into it. Clerk McLachlan asked if there would be any merit in sending the revised by-law to the Federation of Agriculture for its opinion. This was agreed on. Councillor Brown said “We don’t need more enemies than friends.” Mr. Papple suggest council travel around and look at about 30 of these manure storage units, even beyond township borders. Councillor Falconer asked that application for two building permits, held up from the meeting last week, be approved for two rate- payers-Walter Denys, lot 17 concession 2, London Road survey; barn silo and lagoon; and Peter Swinkles lot 9 concession 5 HRS, liquid manure tank. Both were approved. Council accepted the resignation of George S. Kruse, as a full time em ployee in the roads depart ment, working under Road Superintendent Allan Nicholson. He said he would be available for part time work. Will Pay Stanley Township council wrote to say it would pay its township portion of the Vanastra Day Care deficit incurred by children from Stanley attending the centre. Members of council were invited to attend a Fun Olympics at the opening ceremonies for the newly constructed Bayfield arena. No member agreed to participate in the fun program planned for the day. Clerk McLachlan in vited anyone wishing to take part to contact him and he would register Tuckersmith’s elected or appointed officials in any event they would enter. Clerk McLachlan reported that to date 55 building permits have been applied for during this first half of the year amounting to over a million dollars, considerably higher than last year. Council turned down a request from Field-Springer Disaster Relief where flood damage amounted to over $3 million, and the area declared a disaster area. Over $600,000 must be raised by the Relief Fund. “Too far away from our area,” remarked Deputy Reeve Bell. Robert Fotheringham will represent the township at the reading of the report for the Vanastra drain to be held by Stanley Township at the Township Hall in Varna on June 21 at 8 p.m. William Brown will represent the township at the Court of Revision for the Silver Creek municipal drain and the Nash drain to be held in Winthrop by McKillop council. ( Council approved a grant1 of $50 to the Vanastra Lions Club to help with the Vanastra-Tuckersmith fair to be held in August featuring a beer tent, games of chance, various contests and shows; a grant of $300 to ’the Seaforth Lions club for the Lions Park and swim ming pool fund; and a grant of $200 to Seaforth Com munity Hospital to the capital grant fund. (The hospital had asked for $630 based on 210 patients from the township at the hospital from the township last year with grant based on rate of $3.00 per patient.) Council received a letter from Allan Guest of Kit chener on behalf of Brava Holdings Ltd of Kitchener which owns 10 town houses containing 58 units at Vanastra on which there are taxes in arrears amounting to $84,700, interest amoun ting to $21,600 and unpaid water bills of $14,000. Mr. Guest stated that “Brava Holdings will no longer be responsible for any debts to the townhouses, therefore in view of the overall situation it is our company’s decision to abandon the project im mediately.” At last week’s council meeting Mr. Guest had asked council to rebate some of the unpaid taxes or to drop the interest and water charges, which council in formed Mr. Guest was im possible. A letter received from the ministry of labour regarding the Vanastra Curling rink informed council it could close the rink, stay open during repairs, if monitored or stay open without repairs if it could be monitored. Deputy Reeve Bell suggested the president of the Curling Club (Mervin Falconer) be contacted and a meeting with council set up to ask the club if they can raise the one-third of the cost of the renovations, estimated to be about $200,000, while government grants will pay the remaining two-thirds. Councillor Frank Falconer said he feels that council should finance the two-thirds until the funds from the government come in to re imburse council. A special meeting is to be arranged by council and the club. Council turned down a request from the Huron Federation of Agriculture to have the township clerk answer the Federation phone on a part-time basis when that office was closed. It is housed in an adjoining office to the clerk, Following receipt of a letter from Seaforth Council last week saying it proposed Times-Advocate, June 20, 1979 Exeter seniors continue 25th celebrations By ED CHAMBERS Exeter senior citizens con tinue their year of celebra tion by having a picnic on June fifth supposedly to be held in the Riverview Park but d e to the inclemency of the weather arrangements were made to have our dinner in the lobby of the recreation centre. With the help of the atten dants and our new rec. director tables and chairs were set up in the entrance and we were given the space free of charge for our picnic lunch. Several carloads of Goderich Senior Citizens were present and through the generosity of our Mayor and rec board we were not charged for the use of that part of the building. We wish to thank them for their generosity. To continue with our ac tivities a bus trip to Niagara Falls and Marine City was planned. With 47 Senior Citizens aboard we left the parking lot behind the old Town* Hall at 8 a.m. with Peter McNaughton at the wheel. Our driver gave a very in teresting report on all the important things along the way. We passed through Ingersoll, Kintore and around the curve into Thamesford, followed route 19 until passed Ingersoll onto Route 53 to Woodstock. Saw some picking strawberries in this district. Going on through Burford where we found a large number of tobacco farms and Kilns or drying bams. I noticed as we passed through Burford an old brick house in very good shape and the date across the side in big letters that it was built in 1851. A little farther through the to withdraw from the Seaforth Fire Area Board and was prepared to have its own board and would sell fire protection to its four surrounding townships, the township officials held a meeting in Londesboro. They agreed to each write a letter to Seaforth council asking for a meeting of the five councils •smith, McKillop, Hullett and Hibbert with Seaforth.

We also passed the old Brantford airport used during the lAst war, fc>ut is used now one part for school buses other end for frozen foods. At the entrance to the west end of Brantford we saw a senior citizens apart ment, several storeys high and right across the street where senior citizens could look down on it was a most beautiful park with flowers of all kinds planted in shapes of different insignias of groups in the city of Brant ford. A most beautiful view. Also in this city we saw 5 new churches built within the last few years all of different designs and different denominations. Most beautiful buildings on the right side of Grand Valley. Just out of Brantford we were on Highway 2 and 53. Several miles along this road we noticed a farm with a field with small huts built all over the place. Our driver told us this was a place with a calf in each hut with different diseases and was a testing station to isolate one from the other. A little farther on we came to the Marshal potato farms where they grow 900 acres of potatoes for the ear ly markets.“how would you like to pick those all up by hand?” Coming to Ancaster we saw a house with a glass dome in the centre of the roof using solar heat for their fuel to heat the house. On the west side of Hamilton they are building a new sub-division and are housing it out of solid rock as far as the eye could see, placing sewer mains across in that bed of rock. Some job. After this we turned to, the Bruce Trail that runs from Northern Ontario to Pennsylvania and this point is called the Hamilton es carpment. We stopped at a shopping centre on the Bridge of Hamilton for rest rooms and drinks either hot or cold which ever you wanted. Left here at 11 a.m. this I guess is what they call Queenstown. When we pull ed out we were on Queen Elizabeth highway. Hadn’t Now Appearing BUSKER NEXT WEEK PLATINUM 227-4411 gone far till we saw acres of grape vines and a large grapery where they crush 80 tons of grapes per hour put ting it into wooden canals and putting it on rows of steel racks to cure. To make their best wines it cures from 3 to 5 years. Along this route We said the Vineland Research building where they have produced the first square tomato and are now working on a square watermelon. Along here were large orchards of cherries and peaches. With Lake Ontario on the left hand side we crossed the St. Catharines Dalhouse bridge built in the shape of a boat with stern at one end and bow at the other. It is in this bay along here that they hold their canoe rowing regattas. About here that our bus driver showed us the exact spot that hockey player Tim Horton was kill ed, as he came along about 2 minutes after the accident. Along here we crossed the Welland Canal, No boats. Our driver saw a large Chinese freighter going through the day before. About 14 or 15 miles north of this point is Niagara on the Lake. Reached outskirts of Niagara Falls at 11.40 and also crossed a canal that carries water from one lake to another to the first generating plant. Arrived at Marine Land and ate our lunch at picnic tables which are there on purpose for visitors. We took our place on the grandstand to see Marine land show which is something of a wonder to, behold. How such as dolphins, some of them and two large killer whales can be taught all the tricks that they perform in about an hour. Those huge whales leaped 12 feet or more straight out of the water to touch red balloons hanging on strings then fall with a large splash in to tank to splash all the kids lined around. After show we all had the chance to go through souvenir shop and stretch our legs before climbing aboard to be homeward bound. We travelled up around to the Falls and had good view of both Canadian and American Falls. Carried on up around to Rose gardens and peonies all out in bloom and a beauty of colour. Also saw floral clock made out of flowers even the numerals. From here we passed the place where water is carried under ground to a holding place 750 acres large and 27 feet deep to use in the hours of each day when supplies run low to generate electric power. Then filled again next day when supply is high.
