Could start late summer Plans -outlined for new Construction of the new nursing home in Exeter could begin as early as late August according to informa- tion released at a meeting Tuesday between council, the nursing home committee and Tom Kanampuzha who will be the owner. Kanampuzha presented plans and detailed drawings of the home which will be constructed on about four and a half acres located east of Edward and south of John street. • The town of Exeter has purchased the land from Robert Pooley and after the necessary rezoning has been com- pleted it will be sold to Kanampuzha. Plans have already been forward- ed to the Ontario Ministry of Housing and Kanampuzha is expecting clearance to begin construction within five months and has set June 1, 1986 as a realistic date for completion. Reeve Bill Mickle said the plans call for 40 nursing home beds and :30 rest home beds. Of the nursing home beds, Mickle said 30 called for private accommodation. He added,"It's in- teresting to note we have a large number of private beds. There seems to be quite a demand for these.' The plans also include future addi- tions when necessary in both nursing home and rest home areas. Mayor Bruce Shaw said he was pleased with the plans and added, "i hope it will meet the needs of everyone in the area.' Regarding the question of making application for a room in the new home when it is completed, Shaw said. "There are currently a few vacancies at the Kilibarchan nursing home in Seaforth and if anyone takes up residence there they will be assured of getting accommodation Trv- PROPOSED EXETER HEALTH CARE FACILITY nursing home notified and according to building r►I- ficial Brian Johnson and mayor Shaw. objections are not anticipated. here." Kanampuzha owns and operates the Kilbarchan home in Seaforth and has received permission from the On- tario Ministry of Health to move -the 40 nursing home beds to Exeter. Con- siderable renovations were necessary to bring the Seaforth building up to Ministry of Health standards. He has assured all residents now in Seaforth the first opportunity in mov- ing to Exeter. Iry Armstrong. chairman of the local nursing committee which has been busy for more than two years trying to get a nursing home in town said Saturday night. "i can hardly wait to cut the ribbon. It's nice to see it going ahead and it will certainly be an asset to the town." Armstrong said his committee would continue as a group and has been welcomed by Kanampuzha to provide input. A' meeting is being held tonight. Wednesday to rezone the property for nursing hone use.

He said the Committee was budgeting for "the worst possible scenario". In the event a hearing hoard decision went against them. landowners would have a structure in place to continue working on their behalf. . The proposal was approved by a show of hands. People at the Exeter meeting showed their support in a more concrete way after adjourn- ment. More than $13.000 was con- tributed that night. and treasurer Stephen Thompson received a further $600 in the mail the next day. The meeting held in Wingham the following night to accommodate af- fected property owners in the area north of Highway 8 attracted approx- imately 250 concerned citizens. Mo- tions approving the structure and financial arrangements for Foodlands Hydro were passed. and more than $4,00() was raised that night. Volunteersin the entire area from Bruce to London have offered to help organize their own townships. As some people in Middlesex coun- ty were unable to attend either meeting. another F'oodland Hydro public meeting has been arranged on Thursday March 28 in the Strathroy arena at 8::30.

Some beer -lovers were buy- ing several cases, planning to celebrate the lockout's end, and also because they feared a temporary shortage caused by the current high demand. Brewers' Retail employee Dean - ,McKnight said there was no limit on how much an individual could buy, and that they'd be selling beer, "un- til we run out." Dan Becker, Exeter, said "it's been a long dry few weeks". He'd loaded up six cases of 24s on a cart. Becker had crossed the border at Port Huron during the strike, and bought a case of beer that was confiscated until he paid $6.17 in duty. Harold Wolfe of Exeter bought Genesee, an American beer, at the Exeter liquor store during the strike. Wolfe was the first in line this morn- ing, and joked, "I should get a free case out of that". - Larry Stire just wanted to get rid of his trunkful of empties. "i don't drink beer," he said. "i'm just getting some for my mother." Monday was the beginning of the return to normalcy for beer drinkers. Production has resumed at all breweries except the Labatt's plant in London. The London workers are members of the only brewery union tract settlement. Another vote was held on Tuesday to settle the issue. The London workers won't 4gnificantly effect Ontario beer sup- plies, because beer can be brought in from all other brewers to the outlets. Deliveries to bars and taverns have also resumed. Some area restaurants and taverns never ran out of beer, and now that beer deliveries are starting again. most of them expect to have stocks replenished by Tuesday. In Exeter, the Exeter Inn never ran out of beer. "We've been full every day," owner Dave_Irwinsaid. "It's been available. you just had to go and find it." The Burkley Restaurant and Tavern in Exeter did run out, but were expecting a delivery by Tuesday. At the Ifensall Hotel, the suds never ran out, and more was expected soon. And at the Central Hotel in Lucan, they'd kept the brew in stock and were getting more on Friday. The main shortage seems to have been in area homes. where there was more room than usual in the fridge for leftovers due to the absence of squat brown bottles.

The recreation centre finance committee and the staff will Ire making these presentations. A similar meeting was held on Mon- • day with the Exeter council finance committee. Council is considering the budget presentation at this time. A board member suggested that since the recreation staff had done quite a bit of work on the user study, "it is to be hoped that the councils don't make light of it". The financial results of the March break program, which involved a magic show and movie at the Centre. bowling at Zurich and swimming at Vanastra, were released. The pro- grams made about $40, which was considered satisfactory since they were designed to break es en. and.this would cover the advertising costs.
