During the councillor comment por- tion of the meeting, Councillor Dorothy Chapman reported that she had represented the town in welcom- ing the group of campers presently set up in the community park. She told council that one of the visitors had gone out of her way to say that Exeter was one of the most beautiful towns she had been in and there was obvious pride of ownership on the part of local residents in main- taining a "pretty, clean town". However, that comment was followed by a 10 -minute discussion by council on the topic of how to get some owners to clean up their untidy vacant lots. Acting clerk-trea.;urer Laurie Dykstra reported that complaints had been received regarding the proper- ty in the vicinity of Devon Drive. The discussion led to the move to notify the county weed inspector to have the property cleaned up if it is found to be harboring noxious weeds. Councillor Ben Hoogenboom urged that the public works committee tour the town and locate some of the pro- blems areas in the spring next year so action could be started before pro- blems arose. Beer sales on agenda A resolution jointly sponsored by Exeter and Thunder Bay opposing beer and wine sales in convenience and grocery stores will be among the hotly debated items at the upcoming Association of Municipalities of On- tario annual conference. An AMO committee which makes recommendations regarding the various resolutions to be presented at the August 24-27 convention has recommended against endorsing the resolution. The resolution objects to the in- troduction of measures that would have as their effect the sale of any alcoholic beverages in convenience or grocery stores. The resolution notes that such a move would be a step in the wrong direction in the battle against drink- ing and driving and notes that there is considerable evidence that increas- ed availability of alcoholic beverages leads to increases in consumption and increases in alcohol related damage. It also suggest the move planned by the Ontario government would make convenience stores an even greater target for thieves and violent individuals. Mayor Bruce Shaw. Reeve Bill Mickle and Councillors Gaylan Josephson and Peter Snell have in- dicated plans to attend the annual conference. . Cool relief soon coming Users of the Exeter library will have to suffer through the heat for a few more days yet. The air conditioner at the facility became non-functional recently, and while property committee chairman Morley Hall had a new one ready to take its place, council Tuesday night ruled that quotes should be solicited from other suppliers before the order is placed. Ilowever, to speed up the process, council directed that the committee entertain bids until Monday and then take action to have a new air con- ditoner installed as quickly as possible. Resort council plans attack on beach glass Graphically describing in detail the extensive injuries sustained by a tod- dler this holiday weekend, Bruce Helm Beach Patrol Capt. and a delegation of three more of the patrol asked council for help with the in- creasingly outrageouos problem of broken glass on the beach, at the Tuesday night meeting. At least 16 cases of cuts to bare feet were treated by the patrol on the holi- day weekend but by far the most severe and upsetting instance occur- red when a young two-year-old crawl- ed through a mound of sand on the beach and was severly lacerated on the legs and feet. One wound in the thigh was described as four inches long and about one-quarter inch deep requiring several stitches, probably scarring for life. Helm's voice was raised to unac- customed incredulity as he described this as "an escalating situation, which has never been as prevalent as this year. People are bringing all kinds of bottles and cans to the beach this year. There's an amazing amount of cut feet." The majority is beer bottles "I see it all day long. The beer bot- tles are being buried in the sand." Then the beach cleaner hits the hid- den pile and causes mord broken glass spread through the sand. The delegates asked for a by-law prohibiting glass containers of any kind on the beach, that signs be posted accordingly and that fines be issued. They also would make periodic P.A. announcements advising everyone of the dangers of glass containers and their prohibition. Council agreed to put the by-law in- to place as quickly as possible and consented to the P.A. announcements. Problems of enforcing the by-law would have to be dealt with as the oc- casions arise. Councillor Dennis Snider sum- marized the situation by pointing out that ironically, the better enforce- ment of the Liquor laws in general is causing people to try to hide the emp- ty beer bottles more by burying them so they don't get caught. This in turn creates a different set of problems. "Instead of a punitive approach could we try a reasoned, responsible approach?" queried Councillor Mar- sha Lemon. "since fines don't always work". Some of the people causing the problem may not realize the reper- cussions and may become responsi- ble if informed through the use of signs, the P.A. system and a central bin for glass containers. However it was felt that the type of person that was causing the problem and burying beer bottles would not likely carry the empties to a container. "We will get the by-law in place" assured Reeve Green, meanwhile the announcements should start and in- clude the reasoning behind the re- quest for no glass containers on the beach. At intervals the by-law en- forcement officer would circulate along the beach area to help curtail the presence of bottles and their disposal under the sand. Offending cottage An irate delegation of residents from the Queen/Centre St. area came to hear and discuss what Council was doing about the intolerable situation in the tiny cottage on the south-west corner. Residents' complaints are the ongoing litany of noise, obscene language, outdoor urinating arourid the property and the generally poor condition of this small building built for at most four people but housing up to 30 or so renters partying every weekepd. Repeated attempts have been made to curb the disruptive behaviour'Sy le- vying fines for noise and charges for drunkenness have been laid to no avail. The problem, although much worse this year has been going on for several years. In 1981 a letter was sent to the owner Mrs. Ilays of Lon- don informing her of the many noise charges laid against her renters. She apparently took no action to stop the problem. Later she was informed that the lease agreement specified that the landlord could terminate the lease without any repayment of rent and such a notice was sent to her renters in 1984. Council will now attempt to re- inforce their stand by informing Mrs. Hay that she herself as the owner will be charged and fined if the problems are not terminated immediately. Charging the owner would result in a court case. Meanwhile council has sent the village building inspector to in- vestigate the property under the Minimum Standards by-law, but this only resulted in a cover-up paint job over the graffiti and a decorative band of checkerboard tape along the eaves. The only building standard he can enforce is that the yard must be cleaned up. This past holiday weekend the by- law officer followed up complaints of rowdy behaviour at this cottage on several occasions and with the OPP laid charges and fines. Only one per- son produced I.D. when requested by police and so only one of the group was fined the standard $103.75. As the meeting deteriorated into several different verbal exchanges between councillors and residents, Councillor Snider exclaimed "You're not hearing what I'm saying. It's not that easy to enforce these laws". The delegates were not satisfied that council would do anyting to alleviate their problem and left the meeting with comments about not getting anything done for them." They couldn't care less if we can just make up rules"... that would cure the problem. Unfortunately, to work, rules have to be enforced and that is the really difficult part. "I guess all we can get them on is noise charges" intoned Reeve Green. "And harass and make life miserable enough that they'll leave" added Snider. Also "Mrs. Hay has to be charged." Later in the meeting by-law officer Keith Crawford re -opened discussions about the weekend's events. He told of about a dozen OPP (they were on double shifts this holiday) accompa- nying him to the cottage to lay charges, mostly on drinking off pro- perty, and other liquor offences. Crawford tried to charge everyone at the offending party but "if they can't be forced to produce I.D. it's hard to charge someone if you don't know their name" he shrugged. "We'll have to harass them enough.." Another citizen who had been waiting to speak to council outlined a similar problem she had with renters who refused to pay after being in her premises for two weeks. She padlock- ed the door t{ntil they paied, but the OPP helped the renters breakdown the door, she reported. This does nothing to help the residents of Grand Bend. Sunday and Monday mornings there were so many transients sleep- ing on the beach that it was impossi- ble to sweep up the debris with the beach cleaner declared clerk Diane Mollard. A b To tender gas needs It took three votes, but Exeter coun- cil finally decided this week to call tenders for the supply of gasoline for town -owned vehicles. Exeter District Co -Op presently has the contract and tenders have not been called for about three years. The question arose, ironically, when a letter was received from the Co -Op regarding the present pricing procedure in view of the fact the prices have been bouncing around considerably. While the explanation of how the current price is reached appeared to satisfy members, a motion was presented that tendees be called. ' On the first show of hands, there were only three in agreement with one opposed and three abstaining. While that would have dictated that the motion was lost, acting chairman Bill Mickle asked for a second vote. That time he received affirmative responses from Hoogenboom, Josephson, Chapman and Fuller with only Hall in opposition. Humphreys and Snell abstained. Mickle then called for another vote and this time Snell joined the affir- mative votes with.jlall remaining in opposition and Humphreys continuing to abstain.
