Times-Advocate, 1981-12-09, Page 29Seniors hear of Vial of Life A special speaker was in attendance at the Thursday meeting of the Sunshine and Busy Buddies Groups to tell the members of the "Vial of Life" program. Garnet Hicks of Exeter impressed on those present the great value of having this very pertinent informa- tion in the same place in every home, not just those of older people. He said that this is the situation in Exeter and it had already proved useful in one case. Members voted to start the program by taking up Mr. Hick's offer to buy the 225 vials left over in Exeter. The vials have to be purchased In cartons of 500. Anyone who is 'not a member or who was not at the meeting, should contact a member of the executive who will gladly give you in- formation. To order one of the. vials for your home, please call the president, Mildred Hirtzel at 228-6731. The cost is only 251 and the questionnaire is included to be completed by yourself or in cooperation with your doctor.

Bylaw and building officers can enforce Get legal advice on As the result of discussion at Tuesday's regular meeting and advice from village solicitors, Lucan council has made a decision on the matter of unlicenced vehicles being parked in the village. In a prepared press release, reeve Ivan Hearn said, "Since compliance with the bylaw enforcement officer's letters of warning to owners of unlicenced vehicles has not been forthcoming, the matters will now be referred to our village solicitors for their recommendations." In a letter to council, solicitor A.C. Wright of Wright, Davies said, "with respect to the parking of vehicles without current licence plates, either building official Frank Gor- ing or bylaw enforcement of- ficer Carl McNaughton would be in a position to en- force section 5.24 of the zon- ing bylaw. For that matter, any ratepayer in the village of Lucan can enforce the zo- ing bylaw, the only difference is that Frank Gor- ing and Carl McNaughton are. provincial offences of- ficers by virtue of their designation as chief building official and bylaw enforce- ment officer, respectively." The letter continued, "It is a little difficult to delineate policies or guidelines as to who should enforce what in overlapping areas. I suppose the maximum flexibility is to be desired consistent with each of the enforcement peo- ple keeping each other ad- vised of the areas in which they are operating having due regard for the jobs they each must do." The question had been raised whether bylaw en- forcement officer Carl McNaughton has authority to enforce the zoning bylaw when by its terms the chief building official is designated as being respon- sible for the administration of the zoning bylaw. The letter from Wright made it clear that the bylaw enforcement officer ap- pointed by bylaw pursuant to the Police Act has jurisdic- tion and authority to enforce all bylaws within the territorial limits of the village of Lucan. Council approved the purchase of a flag on which a village crest will be includ- ed as part of the Middlesex exhibit at the 1982 Inter- national Plowing Match. Deputy -reeve Norm Steeper who is on the IPM committee said flags of most of the 22 Middlesex municipalities would be in- cluded. He added, "It should be a pretty impressive dis- play." Steeper is continuing his review of a proposed Middlesex county sign bylaw which is expected to be com- bined with the present village bylaw to establish a new one. On this subject, reeve Ivan Hearn said, "I hope all rural municipalities will endorse the county sign bylaw, so we can have uniformity along all county roads. Council has been Informed by Spriet Associates that E. Paul Elston will be the engineer to prepare a plan for repair of the Whitfield Times -Advocate, December 9, 1981 Page 13A unlicenced vehicles drain. A field meeting is planned for the near future.

It calls for the provincial government to explore the possibility of increased foreign export of electricity from nuclear powers es- pecially to the United States.
