Clayton Kuepfer, Doug Erb and Wayne Meidinger to see what could be done about flooded basements.

In a state- ment afterward, Wilder said "1 am more than pleased and satisfied with the OMB position, and look forward to the next phases of the development with renewed hope and enthusiasm. "I am sure that by next summer treated and filtered drinking water will become a reality along Highway 21. I am equally sure that with the ministry of the environment funding the water system will not create any hardship for anyone. Wilder expressed his gratitude to all who attended and took part in this "very important hearing on October 14 and 15". Wilder's joy over the water issue has been countered by a deep concern for the immediate and Tong -term ef- fects on Hay township farmers who Bowling at Zurich lanes Monday Nite Ladies League T.

Wilder termed his own white bean harvest a salvage operation. Acting on advice he received from federal agriculture minister John Wise, Wilder has formally declared Hay Township a disaster area because of the local crop lass. He was told that in order to get action on the problem from the provincial and federal governments, a municipality must take the initiative. "How can government know what's happening if a municipality doesn't. act? When a man invests $100,000 and instead of making a profit he loses $50,000, that's a disaster", Wilder said, adding "four of our five coun- cillors are farmers, and we are there to support our ratepayers." New clerk sworn . in Richard Beachey, hired recently to replace Sharon Baker as clerk - treasurer of the village of Zurich, began his new job sitting in on the , regular October council meeting. The Sarnia native has always been interested in municipal politics. After earning an AMCT degree (Associa- tion of Municipal Clerk Treasurers) from Fanshawe, Beachey obtained his BA in political science with the municipal option from the Universi- ty of Windsor. Beachey now has all the required courses and only has to write and pass the challenge exam to become an AMCT member. Beachey had his first opportunity to put theory into practice during a sum- mer job with Essex county. ' The 26 -year ol4 considers, himself very lucky to have been selected from 26 applicants as the new Zurioh,plerk, and his goal is to provide the best 4nunicipal administration he possibly can. Beachey is at present living with his parents, who moved to Grapd Bend in September. He intends to eventually become a resident of Zurich. salary of $17,000. A hawkers and peddlers bylaw was passed at the regular October meeting requiring those who have resided for less than a year in the municipality to obtain a licence at a cost of $100 before selling their wares in the village, and the licence will cost those with continuous residence for the previous year $50. Licences will be valid from date of issue until the end of the year. A $1,000 penalty will be imposed for failure to produce a licence. Reeve Bob Fisher explained that the intent of the bylaw was to protect local business people who pay taxes. "Why should someone from Tim- bucto come in without a licence? he said. Russell Fuels (Esso) was awarded the tender to supply furnace oil at 22.61 per litre for the 1986-87 heating season. Their tender was the lowest of four submitted. The highest price was 26 per litre. The Zurich recreation, parks and community centre board has assum- ed all responsibility for managing the bingos. The Lions Club, Chamber of Commerce, Figure Skating Club and Minor Athletic Society will take turns in helping with the bingos. After all expenses are deducted, 40 percent of the net profit will be put in the arena capital reservist fund, and the four assisting groups will share the re- maining proceeds. Works superintendent Dennis Regier has inspected the flow of water through the town drain on Edward St. three times recently. Councillor Ken Fenwick went along once, and reported that the drain was working properly. Any problems are suspected to have their origin in private drains in the vicinity of Ed- ward and Walnut streets. Council decided to wait and see how efficient- ly water is carried away during spring's thaw before taking further action. Fisher formally thanked clerk Baker for her services to the village, and noted especially her cooperation. Councillor Ray McKinnon added that as finance chairman he had found Baker to be a "terrific bookkeeper". The meeting adjourned at 8:20, but councillors stayed on to meet with representatives of Hay and Stanley townships to continue the discussions on sharing the costs of recreational activities in community arenas.
