Letter to the editor
Tendering postal routes unfair
THE EDITOR:
1 am writing to you in concern
overwhat is happening in our great
Community. Marie Heffron has
been a Mail Lady for 30 years, she
informed me, and is maybe about
to lose her job.
A few days ago everyone in the
area received in the mail a notice
they could tender for RR 3, Blyth.
1 am sure that most of you thought
asldidthat Marie was giving up
the route but the other day I went in
to pick up a tender form, and upon
coming out of the Post Office met
Noisy dogs

trying to deal with the problem. He
called for council to implement the
anti-noise by-law that has been
discussed off and on for more than
a year.
Everybody seemed to worry
about the by-law being too strict,
he said, but council didn’t have to
enforce the letter of the law and
could use common sense in
enforcement. The by-law would,
however, give the council the clout
it needed to make people take
action about their noisy dogs.
Reeve Hank TenPas suggested
that the village’s by-law governing

Billie Beane said there seems to
be a competition among these
research doctors to see who can get
their names in the Guinnes Book of
World Records the most times and
for the most bizarre accomplish
ments.
Yes, said Julia Flint, just think,
outtheresomehwerea doctor is
trying to find a great-grandmother
who can give birth to her own
great-grandchildren, and proba
bly quadruplets at that.
Phil Paquette from the county
health department attended coun
cil at its request and outlined the
discussion he had held with George
JutziofBrusselsTransport regard
ing washing out trucks on his
property. He explained, Mr.
Paquette said, that if Mr. Jutzi
wanted to continue to wash out
cattle trucks in front of his building
he should install a cement pad,
Marie.
In our conversation she openly
expressed concern for her job, and
it was very obvious she did not wish
to give up her route at this time.
These Contracts as of April 1/87
are now open for tender every five
years.
Do any of you know what this can
do for the already poor mail service
which we get. We are lucky for the
good service our local office gives
us, but in general the overall
service is terrible and I sure can tell
dogs could be ammended to make
it illegal to keep a noisy dog. The
by-law mostly now sets the rates
for dog licences. Councillors then
realized that the dog licences had
not been charged for the last
half-dozen years and agreed that
the licences should again be
required. The problem of enforce-
ent of the by-law then came up for
discussion.
Councillors agreed to contact
neighbouring councils to see who
their by-law enforcement officer
was in regards to dogs and try to set
up a meeting to get advice on
drafting new legislation to control
dogs.
Ward was saying that he and his
wife had been wondering when
they were going to get some
grandchildren for some time but
his son and daughter-in-law seem
ed to be too busy making money to
make kids. Maybe, suggested
Julia, the daughter-in-law would
suggest that they have their own
grandchildren.
Hank Stokes said he’d always
worried that his kids would split up
and dump his grandchildren back
in his lap. Wouldn’t it really be
something if you had your own
grandchildren then had them
dumped on you to raise too.
drained into a sanitary sewer. Mr.
Jutzi, he said, seemed to be under
the impression that he was not
allowed to have a sanitary sewer
outletbut Mr. Paquette did not see
this as a problem.
Several councillors questioned,
however, whether the Ministry of
the Environment would allow a
sewer hook-up that would allow
animal waste into the sewage
you a little as I worked in Listowel
Post Office for seven years back in
late 50’s and early 60’s, and each
year I think it gets a little worse. On
behalf of Marie I am appealing to
people not to tender, but let her
finish her remaining years out at
the job she does well, as I talked to
several RR 3, Patrons and there
were no complaints. By the way I
handed my tender form to Marie
when I found this out. RR 3, and
fellow community members rally
round her and show your displea
sure to our M.P.
Thanking the Editor for this
chance to get this off my chest and
good luck Marie.
Yours truly,
Murray Musty.

that a settling basin could be used

Mr. Paquette said that Mr. Jutzi

Paquette said, he could see
nothing wrong with this practice

John Pennington, who has kept
the complaint about truck washing
before council for more than a year,
said Mr. Paquette’s view didn’t
make sense to him.
Mr. Paquette said those un
happy could take their complaints
to the MOE but he doubted they’d
get much sympathy since some of
the MOE-approved truck washing
facilities he had seen he thoueht
were not as good as they should
have been.
