former R.J.T. Holdings subdivision,
and speculated "he seems to be ready
to lay some money into Zurich."
Keith Westlake, Council's represen-
tative to the Ausable Bayfield Conser-
vation Authority, said the Authority -
has hired Paragon Engineering to
begin a study of the Zurich drain to
find the cause of flooding. Floodlines
will be pinpointed so future develop-
ment will not be susceptible to flood
damage.
Zurich's share of the $8,000 study
will be $1,080. A preliminary report is
expected in September. -
Horizon Carpet Cleaning, Hensall,
will clean the carpeting in the
municipal office, the council chamber

Members of Zurich council decided
at their regular August meeting to
back an application to the CRTC for
a licence to supply cable TV to the
village after a presentation by Keith
Ellis, co-owner of Walkerton -based
Maitland TV.
Ellis explained that his company.
formed in May, has completed
systems in Lucknow and Milverton,
and is working on an installation in
Drayton. All he asked of council was
a letter of support to accompany the
CRTC application.
Ellis said the Zurich application
will be the fifth submitted by his com-
pany, and the CRTC will deal with
them in chronological order. If the
licence is approved after a decision
expected to take four months, const-
truction of the Zurich satellite system
could begin in the spring of 1986.
Maitland TV would offer
subscribers CHCHamilton, CFPL
London. _ TVO T4 i o, CTV Kit-
chener, Global, C jC ABC, NBC,
CBS and PBS from Detroit, The
Sports Network, and either or both
Much Music and Nashville Country.
If only one of the latter could be ob-
tained, the choice would be Nashville
Country.
Ellis estimated the monthly charge
would be approximately $13.75.
If the application is successful. an
office would be opened in Zurich for
one or two weeks, and charter

subscribers would receive free in-
stallation. The company would pttt up
a $5,000 security bond which the
village would hold for three years.
Ellis premised to keep clerk Sharon
Baker informed of future events.
Two tenders were received for the
reconstruction of Goshen St. Lavis
Construction submitted a bid of
$79,302.50. and the figure from Steb-
bins Paving and Construction Ltd.,
Thamesford was $104,717.38.. Con-
sulting engineer Burns Ross checked
over both bids, said everything was
in order. His only explanation for the
wide disparity in the two totals was
the fact Lavis can haul gravel from
their own pit. The Lav'.s tender was
accepted. Work will begin after
August 24 and be completed by Oc-
tober 15.
Acting on a request from Mario
Sirotic for a two-year extension of
draft plan approval for the Zurich
subdivision, council resolved to give
the developer a final one-year exten-
sion. An accompanying letter will
point out that a great deal of present
and past committees' time has been
taken up with this matter, and if
Sirotic is sincere in plans for develop-
ment he should show it by some con-
crete action or put the land up for
sale.
If we could see a start, we would ex-
tend the approval for 10 years," Coun-
cillor Isadore LaPorte commented in
supporting the resolution, adding"we
are not interested in stringing him
along like he did us. We'll tell him the
truth from the start."
Council rejected Sirotic's proposal
that the village install services and
streets in return for a parcel of land
Staff from Paragon Engineering of equal value.
Ltd. of Kitchener will soon begin their LaPorte reported "a good meeting"
study of the Zurich Drain in Zurich in
an attempt to find a solution to
flooding and stagnant water pro-
blems in the village.
The study is being co-ordinated by
the Ausable Bayfield Conservation
Authority. Alec Scott, Water
Resources Co-ordinator with the AB -
CA says, "Paragon Engineering will
begin their field investigations during
the first of second week in August and
by late Se to r_should-have a
preliminary report ready for our
review."
The $8,000 study is officially called
the Zurich Stormwater Management
Study. The Conservation Authority
will receive a total of 85 percent of the
cost of the project from the Province
with the Village paying most of the re-
maining 15 percent.
Scott says "field investigations con-
ducted by Paragon Engineering will
include surveying the drain, and
checking existing conditions, as well
as the measurement of building open-
ings and the determination of main
floor elevations of homes adjacent to
the dram that might suffer flood
damages.
In addition to looking at the flooding
and stagnant water problems
Paragon will also be determining
where the floodljnes are,, which will
help to ensure that future develop-
ment will not be susceptible to flood
damages."
Anyone with information relating to
the flooding and stagnant water pro-
blems along the drain are encourag-
ed to contact Jack Gorrie of Paragon
Engineering Ltd. at 579-4410 or
