The minor variance under the zon- ing bylaw was granted to Dr. William McGregor for a 684 square foot addi- tion at the rear of his dental office on Sanders St. Several neighbouring property owners were in attendance and ex- pressed concern about the parking area and asked for the retention of as much green area as possible on the property. The committee approved the ap- plication subject to the condition that the parking spaces be restricted to the west side of the existing building. An application was approved for Jim and Barb Beckett to create a new residential building lot on the former Westlake property adjacent to the PUC water tank. Approval contained the stipulation that a $500 impost fee be paid and that the owners enter into a servicing agreement with the town for sanitary sewers to the vacant severed lot and the vacant retained lot.

Yo/tags test coming A voltage reduction test will be con- ducted by Ontario I lydro on Tuesday, July 15. Between 2:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., and again from 7:30 p.m. to 8:301),m., Riddell adds voice to plan 11 n -Middlesex MPP Jack Rid- dell a. supported proposal to have Exet white squirrel population given Lection under the en- dangered s .fes act. The Agric re Minister wrote to Vincent'Kerr o. minister of natural resources, to 0 thitt the town has embarked on a p gram to protect and promote the white sgirrel. "Any considei".ition you might lend to their request would be greatly ap- preciated." Riddell said in his letter to Kerrio. Clifford Ludwig, Ft. Thomas, Ken- tucky, and Andrew Strachan, Dashwood, collided on Highway 21. Damage was listed at $5,500. Donald Wareing, Hensall, escaped unhurt after his vehicle left conces- sion 6-7 of Usborne Township on Fri- day and hit a hydro pole. Damage was $1,500. The final collision of the week was on Saturday in Hensall, at the in- tersection of Highway 4 and 84. Vehicles involved were driven by Glen Nixon and Christine Bruxer, both of Hensall. Damage. was estimated at $1,650. During the week, the detachment officers investigated 52 occurrences. There were 55 charged under the Highway Traffic Act, 11 under the Li- quor Licence Act, 13 under the Criminal Code and one under the.Nar- cotic. Control Act. voltage on the Ontario Hydro elec- trical grid will be reduced by five percent. For most customers, the effect of these two reductions will be imperceptible. Testing the power distribution grid in this way helps to'ensure that, in the a generation emergency (such as the breakdown of a large generating unit), there will be no power interruptions. A five percent reduction in voltage distributed over the Hydro system is equivalent to reducing more than 500,000 kilowatts of electricity de- mand. That is the output of a single Pickering reactor and is enough to meet the electricity needs of more than 180,000 homes. As well, the data collected from the test will help Hydro locate and resolve potential operating or customer problems. Hydro conducts voltage reduction tests once a year. Town considers hazardous waste collection Wiwi. do you do Exeter may not join in a collection program for hazardous household Same number 1 different voice Hoffman's Ambulance in Dashwood is now being served by the London Central Ambulance Com- munication Centre. The change was effective at 8:30 a.m., Monday, as the Dashwood firm joined the central dispatch which cur- rently serves Zurich, Lucan, Parkhill, Strathroy and London. The service is .operated by the ministry of health and the manager is Glen Miller. Miller explained that there will be little effect noticed by area residents due to the change. They will still call the same number for Hoffman's Am- bulance, and in the vast majority of cases, will be served by personnel from Hoffman's. However, rather than the call being answered by someone in Dashwood, the phone will be answered by the qualified staff at the central dispatch office. Miller said callers shouldn't be alarmed by the fact different people will be answering the call and added that callers may be asked some dif- ferent questions than usual due to the fact the central dispatchers are not as familiar with the area as the per- sonnel at Hoffman's. However, he said that m many cases, someone from Hoffman's may actually be listening to the call. Miller added that the central dispatchers have all met certain stan- dards for first aid and will be able to give some instructions for the care of patients until the ambulance arrives. He noted that one of the advantages of the central dispatch is that the loca- tion of all ambulances in the area is known at the centre and this removes any delay that may arise in getting an ambulance to the scene. The system also makes for improv- ed transfer co-ordination. Stephen given waterline grant The Township of Stephen has received $28,046 as a first payment for the construction of rural watermains on concession roads 6/7, 8/9 and 14/15 and Highway .83, Environment Minister Jack Bradley and Agriculture and Food Minister Jack Riddell, MPP for Huron -Middlesex announced this week. - The money is part of an estimated $31,000 grant as a provincial contribu- tion toward the estimated $125,000 totalcost of the project. The project is scheduled for com- pletion in July. waste because it is not known what could be done with such wastes if they are collected. The public works conunittee report noted that a guide to implementing a household hazardous waste collection program and a guide to obtaining start-up grants for such a program had been filed at their recent meeting. Councillor Dorothy Chapman ask- ed at Monday's council session what was included in the hazardous wastes and Mayor Bruce Shaw responded with "it's amazing". He went on to say that almost everything "under the sink" is potentially hazardous along with numerous other household items and unused drugs. Works superintendent Glen Kells explained that Sarnia recently held such a collection and had an excellent response, but he noted that Dow Chemical took the hazardous waste and disposed of it. "What would the town do with it?" he asked. Mrs. Chapman asked for the booklet on the matter and will give it some further study. In another matter from the com- mittee, council accepted their recom- mendation for the hiring of a part - with It?. time worker for the public works staff from July 1 to September 15. When asked what rate of pay would be set and what duties would be per -4 formed, Kells said the pay would be around 86.00 per hour and the person would primarily fill in for vacation- ing members of the staff. Tenders were opened for four street paving projects and the bid of Lavis Contracting in the amount of $48,641 was accepted. Council also accepted the recom- mendation to purchase a new lawn mower from Huron Tractor at a price of $10,420.73. Kells reported that the present mower was in its sixth season and was continually breaking down. The discussion on the mower revealed that grass cutting in May, June, September and October is a five -day -a -week job, while it reduces only slightly in July and August. The town has almost 60 acres of grass to cut. Shaw questioned whether it may be more advantageous to hire a student to cut the grass and Kells replied that it would "if I could get permission to hire a student". The work is current- ly undertaken by full-time staff. Exeter man �ets position with IAO duct and discipline of its members and students.
