Satellite dish charge proceeds After an absence of a few weeks from the council agenda, the matter of the satellite TV dish at the residence of Fred and Shirley Mom- mersteeg surfaced again, Monday. The report of the executive commit- tee indicated that the Stratford law firm of Mountain, Mitchell, Hill, Monteith and Burdett had requested confirmation on whether to proceed with laying of a charge under the zon- ing bylaw. As recommended by the commit- tee, council authorized Mike Mitchell of the firm to proceed to lay a charge against the Mommersteegs for con- travention ontravention of the zoning bylaw. The saga over the dish comes up at court later this month on a different aspect. Mommersteeg faces an assault charge laid by building in- spector Brian Johnston, while the lat- ter has been named in a counter- charge laid by Mommersteeg for the same offence. In discussion on the zoning bylaw charge, Councillor Morley Hall said he trusted this was the last thing coun- cil wanted to do and wondered if every effort had been made to recon- cile the situation. "Definitely," Mayor Bruce Shaw responded. Hoogenboom suggests garbage turn -around Turn about is fair play as the adage goes and Exeter residents should soon know if that applies to garbage collection. For the past year, citizens on one side of each street have had to carry •'------their garbage to the opposite side of that street for pickup. Councillor Ben Hoogeboom asked this week if the practice would be reversed, so residents on the opposite side of the street would have to make the longer haul this year. Deputy -Reeve Lossy Fuller in- . dicated the subject was on the sanita- tion committee's upcomin: a:enda.

Times -Advocate, January 8, 1986 Page 3 • The mailbag is full this time of year. One letter chastises me for generalizing about the chicken in- dustry. Back in November I wrote that chicken producers were the on- ly sector of the agricultural picture looking to a happy Christmas. I plead guilty to generalizing. Richard and Mary Horst of RR 1, Stratford, sent me information on broiler breeder egg producers who are not having a good Christmas. They are suffering because hatching egg producers are currently receiv- ing less than their cost of production because of imports. They want to be included under a blanket marketing board which would contain all bran- ches of the chicken -and -egg - producing industry. "Chicken production should be viewed as a total industry with in- dispensable `contributions made by participants at all levels," states a brief entitled An Industry In Crisis prepared by the Ontario Broiler Hat- ching Egg and Chick Commission. The Horsts are right when they charge me with generalizing. I am well aware of the problems facing hatcheries and pullet growers. And I am sorry for forgetting them. Another letter from Carolyn Coates, Frankford, Ontario. "We watch for your column every week in the paper and appreciate your efforts on behalf of farmers. Yesterday was a typical day for us and perhaps some people do- not relaize how hard it is on the farm to- day. Our younger son left on the com- bine at 7 a.m. Our older son, my hus- band and I did the chores. En route to the agricultural office for informa- tion, I left a lunch in the field so the combine would not be stopped for a Cost of policing cause of confusion Councillor Morley Hall momentari- ly stunned fellow members this week when he noted there had been a 55 percent increase in the pay for the police department in the final pay in December in relation to the same pay period the previous year. "I must express my growing, grow- ing concern over the cost of policing," Hallsaid, in asking if the increase was due to overtime and what control council had over it. - "Larry (Chief Larry Hardy) is do- ing his utmost to keep it,(overtime) down," police committee chairman Dorothy Chapman finally responded. She also explained the final pay contained year-end service pay, some statutory holidays, etc. which would probably not correspond to last year. Hall noted the final December pay in 1985 was $9,131, while the previous year it was only $5,879. Committee member Bill Mickle said the only true comparison in costs was on an annual basis and not for a two-week period. He told Hall that for the first time in some years, the 1985 police budget should come in on target. Mickle also explained there were items over which council had no con- trol, such as moving prisoners. "It (overtime) gets out of hand at times," Hall replied. "It is an expensive thing, I know," Mrs. Chapman said in concluding the discussion. noon break. "After running farm errands, preparing meals, doing household jube, milking 'my side' for evening chores, I made cookies and finished some handicrafts for the church bazaar. The day also included blood testing and health vaccinations... "Do industries produce without a marketing plan? Is there anyone who is expected to produce and be reward- ed by supply and demand? Four wage earners on our farm earn less than one average teacher, utility or postal worker... "When corporations take over from the family farm, will their employees work long hours and be as responsi- ble as the average farm boy or girl? "Consumers have so little knowledge of agriculture; even those living in small towns. In many coun- tries, people are starving while in other countries, they line up at super- markets and only the elite can afford :Lwow w She* Team stays on during storm Members of the Grand Valley Harvesters and some of their sup- porters enjoyed a longer visit in the area than anticipated when they came down for the annual Exeter Hawks tournament over the weekend. The Harvesters were playing in the tournament final on Sunday night when word was received that most roads leading back to the north were closed due to storm. The busload decided to head back to Grand Bend where They spent Saturday night and then started the trip back to Grand Valley on Monday. Their opponents, the Brussels Bulls, decided to battle the storm and head- ed back after winning the champion- ship game against the Harvesters. A few fans bunked in with local friends and hockey acquaintances and made the trip home Monday. Hawks president Ken Dobney said he had not heard from any of the visiting teams and said that apparent- ly indicated they had all made it home safely. They had been offered the accom- modation at the Exeter Legion hall when it appeared that travel would be impossible. nnnnnnnnnnnnmmmrunnumuuunnmc Get a start on your tan today '6.00 per '/2 hr. session 55.00 for 10 sessions Rumors II ii 235-0891 lnnnnnnunnnnnmm�nnnnnunnntunmmR Centre Mall fresh fruit and vegetables. "It is difficult to understand why the Canadian farmers are scapegoats..." Also a letter from Kincardine, another from Walkerton, Moffat, Drayton, Arthur, Exeter, Tavistock, Grand Valley, Dresden and Amherstberg. All but one of them were ap- preciative so I guess my batting average_ is not too critical. It is a little less hectic at this time of year on farms across Canada. My mailbag tells me so. In the planting and harvest months, my mail falls to a trickle because farmers are too busy to write..I sometimes think they all have broken arms until the snow flies and then the mail starts to arrive again. Anyway, keep those letters coming. My address is 5 Eldale Drive, Elmira, Ontario, N3B 2C7. I love to hear from my readers, all three of them.
