St. Boniface A very nice liturgical breakfast at the Dominion Tavern was enjoyed by 40 members of St. Boniface par- ish after the 11:45 am mass. Fr. Mooney treated all the lay readers, eucharist ministers, ushers, money counters and choir leaders to this an- nual event, as his appreciation for help in the church throughout the year. Harvest Dance Those who did not go to the K of C Harvest Dance last Saturday missed out on a good time. A live- ly crowd danced to the music of "Smoky Hallow" which consisted of brothers Eugene and Mark Hart- man, with Harold as drummer. The lunch committee did a great job everything was attractively set out and tasted delicious. Baptisms Little Derek Gerhard was baptized on November 15 at St. Boniface by Fr.

A family celebration was held at the home of his grand -parents, Har- old and Doreen Dietrich. On November 8, Tanya Elizabeth Prang was baptized at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, with her god- parents Ken and Kathy Masse of Huron Park, and Sandra Coleman. What a weekend! Some people were busy putting up their outside Christmas decorations while others were sitting at picnic tables at the beach eating ice cream cones. The sunny southerners might envy us, at least for awhile, I hope. The Monday evening films were "Growing" and "Ireland", Land of Welcome". Following the films, re- freshments were served. We salute Mr. Fergus Turnbull and Mr. John Warner of the apartments, for vol- untarily helping with the refresh- ments each evening. The ladies of Hcnsall U.C.W. hosted the November birthday party. A musical programme was enjoyed followed by a delicious lunch. Resi- dents having birthdays during the month of November were Mrs. Ruth Taylor, Mrs. Jean Levine, Mr. Philip Eisenbach and Mr. Peter Deichcrt who were presented with gifts, courtesy of the Ladies Auxil- i Residents out during the week were: Mrs. Mabel Glenn, Mrs. Mar- cella Dietrich, Mrs. Matilda Bas - sow, Mrs. Matilda Tetreau, Mrs. Violet Huntley, Mrs. Genevieve Ducharme, Mr. Aaron Gingerich, Mr. Fred Teeter, Mrs. Ruth Taylor, Mrs. Magdalene Jantzi, Mrs. Helen Bedard and Mr. Loftus Dcnomme. Mr. Stephen Molnar is still in University Hospital, London, but Mrs. Lucinda Keller has returned to the home. Bingo was played on Friday even- ing followed by refreshments. The Sunday evening chapel ser- vice was conducted by Rev. Robt Sinasac of Dashwood and Zurich United Churches. Hay keeps zoning Despite a short agenda, the last evening meeting of Hay Township Council for this year stretched to more than three hours long. The next meeting is on December 7 at 10:00 am. Huron County planner Patricia Munkittrick was placed in a difficult position when she, from a profes- sional perspective, was required to recommend against rezoning a plot of land for building a retirement bungalow for Robert and Norma Pryde. Hay council approved the rezon- ing of the lot last spring, provided that a barn was removed from its position close to the property to conform to the minimum distance requirement of the zoning. This barn has been removed. However, Munkittrick noted that another barn across the road, al- though it has not been used for live- stock in 20 years, is still theoreti- cally a livestock barn and lies too close to the Pryde's property. Reeve Lionel Wilder told the Prydes that if Bill Dougall, who owns the barn, were to appeal the rezoning, the OMB would likely prevent the development of the property. "Our present home is getting to be a bit much," said Mrs. Pryde of her desire to build a smaller home. "We want to stay in Hay town- ship." Wilder pointed out that the rezon- ing could not be approved on com- About people you know. Congratulation to Arnold and Coby VandenBoomen who celebrat- ed their 30th wedding anniversary on Monday and had a family dinner and get-together at their home on Saturday with their children, moth- er, brothers and sisters. Bill Rowan recently returned home from a two-week moose hunt- ing u-ip and vacation in Matchewan where he visited with his Dad and family. Karl and Mary Regier enjoyed a few days away last week, when they flew to Las Vegas with her sister and husband Theresa and Jerry Las - saline of Guelph. About twenty teenagers from the Zurich Mennonite youth club along with others from Tavistock and Hawksville, spent the weekend here at a fellowship exchange program and the out-of-town guests stayed with their Zurich friends. In October some seniors enjoyed going away for the day to Sarnia, going by the old road to St. Clair Parkway up to Walpole Island, then on to Wallaceburg where they toured the St. Clair glass factory outlet. After that they went through the Tender Tootsie shoe factory outlet in Glencoe. On the way back home they stopped for supper in Grand Bend. Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Meidinger, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Meidinger of Zurich and Mr. and Mrs. Ken Genttner of Dashwood and Mr. and Mrs. Cyrille Hartman of Lucan spent from last Thursday to Sunday in the States, doing some shopping and visiting with their sister, Margarette Jaster while there. A nice two-week holiday was had by Pearl Gingerich recently while visiting at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Pauy and Clive 01 - lies in Harrison Valley Pennsylva- nie and are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of their first baby next month. A marriage -encounter weekend was held at the Michaelite House in London last Friday evening to Sun- day. I'm sure those couples on the Zurich team found it as rewarding and inspirational as those making the weekend for the first time. Best wishes for a speedy recovery is extended to Marie Durand who is a patient in South Huron hospital in Exeter. grounds because it would rirclt overturned by the OMB. "The concerns of the planning de- partment certainly have merit," said Wilder, but argued that the Prydes have paid separate taxes on the se- vered property for 40 years and should be allowed to build there. "The council is prepared to stick by the AG 4 designation, and let the appeals fall where they may." A bylaw was passed to change the designation from Ag 4 to AG 4-2 which reduces the minimum dis- tance requirement of the neighbor- ing barn from 300 metres to 130 metres. The appeal period is 35 days. The Bayview subdivision has con- tacted Hay council through a lawyer to investigate the possibility of re- zoning the subdivision from season.- al easonal residential to urban. The reason behind this application is the prop- erty owners in Bayview may want to stay in their cottages on a year- round basis. Legally, the cottages cannot be the owner's principal resi- dence. Council was not receptive to the suggestion of rezoning because of the expense of servicing the lots with snow clearance, many are on roads too narrow for the township's snowplow. "The reason that we're keeping the seasonal designation is that we don't want to service these lots," said Wilder. However, Wilder went on to explain the main difficulty of changing the zoning Would be the requirement of the roads to be brought up to MTC standards before the township could take them over. This would cost the cottage owners a considerable amount of money. Rezoning would also require the roads to be made public which means the owners could no longer prevent street parking or restrict ac- cess to the beach' by the general public. Hay council signed the final draft of the Exeter Area Fire Agreement as agreed to at the last regular meet- ing. Wilder remains unhappy with the additional cost the new agree- ment entails. "We're going to have to consider promise our area of protection from Exeter, either abandoning it altogether or brining it up to five percent." Hays present assessment in the Ex- eter Fire Area is currently around 3.5 percent, liut the minimum charge is five percent. A severance application from Dor- is Gore met with no objections to the proposal to create the three lots. Council noted that the application conformed to the zoning bylaws, and approved the severance. Hay township may have to con- sider repaving some of its gravel roads with tar and chips or even as- phalt due to the rising costs of grav- el. Road superintendent Ross Fish- er expects it will cost around $14,000 to spread fresh gravel on the township roads next spring. Council gave the go-ahead to Fisher to purchase new items for the township workshop because of a $12,000 surplus in the road works budget. The purchases of a power washer, a welder, a traffic counter, and a two-way radio were accepted as necessary replacements or addi- tions to township equipment.
