Council gets plan update
County planner Scott Tousaw and place a community improvement
bylaw as well as a property standards
bylaw. Zurich does not yet have the
latter. Tousaw promised to find out
more details on Zurich's eligibility
and report back to clerk Sharon
Baker.
Councillor Herb Turkheim, chair-
man of the economic development
committee, was delegated to attend
the public open house being held
August 7 and 9 to review the draft zon-
ing bylaw for Hay township. Fisher
said he would like to see some
township land surrounding Zurich
zoned industrial, as little industrial
land is available within the village's
borders.
Tousaw said that once the provin-
cial land preservation policies now
being drafted become law, changing
zoning designation on agricultural
land will be more difficult. He noted
that Hay is supporting Zurich by not
summer student John Myers attend-
ed the regular July meeting of Zurich
council to bring councillors up to date
on the progress of background work
leading to drafting of the village's
secondary plan and a zoning bylaw.
Reeve Bob Fisher was particular-
ly interested in eligibility re-
quirements for possible grants under
the Ontario Neighbourhood Improve-
ment program, which he hoped might
cover part of the cost of projects such
as sidewalks and repair of the Zurich
drain. Knowing if funding was
available would be a help when set-
ting next year's budget.
Fisher was told that grants are
sometimes allocated while required
policies are still in process. Tousaw
foresaw possible completion of the
secondary plan by early fall or
winter. However, other criteria for
ONIP eligibility include having in

Convention
Attending the two day C.W.L.
Diocesan convention held in London
at the Holiday Inn on July 8 and 9
were Rose -Marie Regier, Theresa
Regier and Mary Ducharme of St.
Peter's parish St. Joseph. From St.
Boniface C.W.L., Afra Van Wonderen
and Margaret Munn attended on
Tuesday, while Josie Denomme,
allowing residential build-up around
the village.
Dog control officer Dave Groot also
attended the session to discuss some
of the difficulties encountered in his
job. He had discovered during a talk
with a local veterinary that a tran-
quilizer gun he had requested from
both Hensall and Zurich is not the
answer. Dogs can run five or six
blocks after being hit with a tran-
quilizing dart, and if the drug is too
strong, it could kill a small or weak
dog. Groot said he had come to coun-
cil to seek direction.
Fisher said paying a dog control of-
ficer was a waste of money if dogs
couldn't be caught. He said either the
officer should be supplied with the
proper equipment or the village
revert to its position before Groot was
hired. After a discussion, Fisher was
authorised to approve the purchase of
live traps for a sum not to exceed $100.

lo Island and took part in a horse, bar-
rel riding competition. During the

CAN ONE EXPAEft "MEANINGS" THAT ARE HIDDEN?
On nationolly-televised talk show (The Today Show, in 1976), o noted
pianist told of on incident while playing classics for 7 and 8• ear•olds
in Harlem. After o fine rendition of one of Schubert's lovely works,
one child asked the pianist, "Isn't he (Schubert) dead?" The pianist
answered, "Yes, but he left his music for us." "But...," continued the
child, "How do you know what he means?" The child's concern that
the music be played os the decd composer intended it to be played
- that is, per his wishes and inter* - inspired the pianist to be con-
stantly more aware of accurately interpreting a composer's meaning.
So it is, too, when considering funeral arrangements, that one con-
siders "meaning", the wishes and the intent of the deceased. Better
still is it to express your wishes for your own services i advance of
p9ecl. It is then a true interpretation of your own hand. Thishelps to
lift the burden from the shoulders of your loved ones in a time of great
• stress.
Just os the pianist became aware of the composer's meanings, you
'can make your family of aware of yours. Coll or stop by for more in-
formation about pre -arrangements.

arena with the younger ones going in

Sweeney holiday
A lovely holiday was had by the
Sweeney family, Jerome, Carmel,
Renee and Meagan, when we spent 10
days at our friend's cottage in Point
Clark from July 3 to 13 and enjoyed
lots of nice sunshine, swimming,
relaxing and visiting with friends we
know up there.
On Sunday July 6 Jerome and I
motored to Leamington, a four-hour
drive from Point Clark, and attend-
ed my cousin's celebration party for
Elaine Noury, who was a nun for 25
years, but due to health reasons has
recently left the convent and is begin-
ning a new way of life.
The get-together was held at the
home of her parents, Marie and Louis
. Noury, in Leamington with over 60
close friends and relatives attending.
An out -door Mass was said by Fr.
Fritzgerald of Windsor (who is also a
family friend.)
All enjoyed the day of visiting and
listening to violin and accordion
music under a big old apple tree
followed by a delicious smorgasbord
supper, complete with decorated
cakes for the special occasion.
A presentation was also made to
my Aunt Irene and Uncle Charlie
Tremblay of Windsor who are
celebrating their 40th viedding an-
niversary in August.
While spending the rest of the week
at the cottage we enjoyed shopping
trips to Kincardine and our usual
English style fish and chips dinner at
the well know, Erie Belle.

Big enrollment
at Bible School
Vacation Bible School in Zurich re-
mains a popular event. This year
more than 170 children turned up dai-
ly for classes ranging from pre-
kindergarten to grade 10. Two
volunteer bus drivers drove through
the surrounding countryside to pick
up youngsters who wanted to attend.
Other volunteers included 19
teachers, a secretary, a pianist,
playground supervisors, and others
who preformed such mundane but
necessary tasks as unlocking
buildings each morning and closing
up each day, and moving chairs to
where they were needed.
Classes met in Zurich Public
School, St. Peter's Lutheran Church,
and the parsonage garage. All were
based on this year's theme "Jesus, I
Love You".
The nickels, dimes and quarters
collected from the 1986 Vacation Bi-
ble School will be sent to LAMP, the
Lutheran Association of Missionaries
and Pilots. Pastor -pilots fly five -
seater Cessna -185s to villages in nor-
thern Canada that cannot be reached
by road.
Every summer people from.
Canada and the US are flown to these
remote areas to teach Vacation Bible
School there, too.

Some how, I have the feeling that
the summer is quickly on the wane.
Even the daylight hours are becom-
ing shorter.
Although the new auditorium is not
quite completed due to a delay in the
floor covering, residents and staff are
still making use of it. When
everything is completed, it will be a
great asset to the Home.
The residents and staff are enjoy-
, ing fresh vegetables from the garden
pampered by Mr. Steve Molnar. Very
soon we will be eating the ripe
tomatoes from his garden.
Residents are kept busy during the
mornings with the different programs
planned for them and the craft room
occupies quite a number of them dur-
ing the afternoons. We are grateful
for the nylons and other materials
donated for use in this work.
Mr. Chalut took some of the
residents for a bus ride of their
choice, taking in the scenes around
the Bayfield area on Friday
afternoon.
Bingo was played on Friday even-
ing followed by refreshments.
The Sunday evening chapel service
was conducted by Rev. Bob Sinasac
of Dashwood and Zurich United chur-
ches. Mrs. Grace Martin presided at
the organ during the service.
The members of the Conservative
Mennonite church of Blake visited the
Home during the evening, providing
vocal music for the residents.
