HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1979-09-06, Page 3 (2)Liquor laws explained The Times Advocate received official con- firmation from the Liquor Licence Board of Ontario this week that forbids ad- vertising of social events. In a letter dated August 24 which reached the T -A office August 30, Director of Social Occasion permits W.D. Rolling pointed out sub- section 2 of Section 37 of Ontario Regulations 1008-7. It reads as follows: "No advertising shall be published or in any way disseminated where the advertising relates to an event that is a social and that is held under the authority of a special occasion permit." Mr. Rolling went on to say, "this section would apply to weddings, anniversaries, showers, birthday parties, stags, etc." He went on .to inform that the only time advertising would be allowed is for a special occasion permit for the sale and service of liquor at an event that is conducted for a purpose that will promote the advancement of charitable. educational or religious works or to serve community needs. In a following telephone conversation Tuesday morning, Mr. Rolling said he is advising all community centres and recreation facilities which obtain special occasion permits that the "no advertising" clause be written into the rental contract. This was confirmed by South Huron Rec Centre administrator Ian Smith who said all rental contract forms issued for the centre are stamped with the "no advertising" provision. Tuesday's call to Mr. Rolling was later tran- sferred to G.J. Conroy, advertising manager for the LLBO. - Asked about the reper- cussions of advertising being placed contrary to the regulations. Mr. Conroy said, "If this happened and officials of a rec centreorsim ilar facility found out in advance they would have the right to have the event cancelled. Going further he indicated a facility allowing such an event to take place with advertising in advance could be called in by the Liquor Licence Board of Ontario for a discussion. PUC news Continued from front page budgets for the water and hydro departments ,were in good shape financially, although the hydro capital account has been exceeded by $5.000 due to new con- struction. Some of the., projects recently completed or to be undertaken soon include new services for Victoria & Grey Trust, Gerrard's, the new milk store and Walper's new service centre on. Thames Road W. It was learned that Acme Neon Signs is con- sidering an addition and there will be considerable expense involved if the hydro service has to be relocated. Such costs would be assessed to the customer. it was decided. Among the bad news received was that hydro meters are being increased in cost by up to 10 percent. This is the third price in- crease this year. It was also learned that the Commission no longer require Ontario Hydro ap- proval on their remuneration. NU • BACK AT IT AT SHDHS — The halls of South Huron District High School had therr first workout since June .with the return of students this week Removing some books from his locker is grade 1 1 student Brad Scott of Exeter - Approve increase on sub -station lease Exeter council agreed to change the length of the lease on the hydro sub- station lot located behind the local library this week, thereby setting the stage for the PUC to proceed with plans to buy the equipment from Ontario Hydro. In July, council had ad- vised the PUC they could get a five-year lease on the property, with the option of a further five years. Tuesday night, PUC chairman Chan Livingstone and manager Hugh Davis visited council and the former said that investing the S26,000 required to buy the sub-station.from Ontario Hydro would not be practical if they could only secure a five-year -lease on the property. He requested that the term be extended to 10 years and council adhered to the request. The -sub -station has been in existence since 1915 and the council of that day gave Ontario Hydro free use of the land with no termination date. Davis agreed with the contention of Mayor Derry Boyle that the equipment at the sub -station is antiquated. but advised that it was still very adequate and it was not feasible to re -locate it at the present time. "It's an old station, but it's doing a good job and the price is right," •Davis said. He explained that the purchase price would be paid off in a matter of about two years, because the PUC presently pays about S12.000 per annum for the use of the power at the sub -station. Davis added that the replacement value would be in the range of $150.000 to $200.000 and in reply to a question from Reeve Si Simmons, said the facility could serve for another 10 years. Simmons facetiously suggested that the term of the lease to be arranged with the PUC for the town -owned property would depend on the amount the Commission charged council for water hydrant rental. Boyle, who is also a member of the Commission, said that they .wouldn't bother with buying the sub- station unless they could get a 10 -year lease - and Livingstone agreed with that, adding that they were buying it in the interests of saving local consumers some money. Councillor Ted Wright said the property was.out of the control of council in view of the agreement with Ontario Hydro and asked why they would penalize the PUC. "We've talked about. this long enough." the Mayor finally announced. "It's black and white." - With that. council ap- proved. a motion to provide the PUC with a 10 -year lease - if they wish to buy the equipment. iN Consider water pipeline Times -Advocate, September 6, 1979 Pape 3 Hay seeks enforcement There's a possibility that Hay townst)ig could have itself a bylaw enforcement officer in the not to distant future. .

Gpuncillor Dick Rau suggested that Van Wieran might be a good cnoice since he holds similar positions with other townships in the area and that it might be advantageous to have an "outsider" as the en- forcement officer Council agreed with Tony Bedard when he stated it was important to -have the backing of the police in the enforcement and municipal bylaws. •If available council will meet with Van Wieran on Tuesday following a telephone system meeting. Property owners who remove survey stakes received little sympathy from council with two property owners being notified that they must have the area in which the stakes were removed re -surveyed. Council instructed clerk - treasurer Joan Ducharme to send letters to John Groot and the estate of Ivan Kalbfleisch informing them of council's decision. "That's the only way we're going to stop them" with Bedard adding "We have to police it fellows." Following a lengthy discussion council agreed. to have the firm of B.M. Ross look after the township's interests in the installation of the water pipeline for the proposed Cantin subdivision at St. Joseph. Cantin will be responsible for the costs of the engineering firm. The firm would only look after the pipeline since council felt there was adequate protection from possible wrong -doing in the subdivision agreement signed by Cantin and the township. The township's salvage yards and second hand shops No help for victims Exeter council may be asked to consider a new policy regarding neigh- boring communities which experience disasters, but such a policy may not be formulated in time to answer requests to aid the tornado victims in the Woodstock area. Social services committee chairman Lossy Fuller said the committee was studying the current policy of not providing public funds' for disasters or charities, but said more time was needed to study the matter and it would notlikely be ready for council approval until early - next year. She said the big task would be in defining the term of a neighbor. She said the committee members sympathized with the tornado victims in the Woodstock area, 'but noted that the local Lions had organized a relief_ plan whereby Ibcal citizens could contribute to the disaster fund by taking donations to any of the local banks.. "It's important that A all try and donate," she added. This prompted Mayor Boyle to say he'd take S25 to the bank the next morning. Reeve 'Si Simmons said Huron County council had also discussed the matter and felt that it should be up to private citizens to -assist. in that councils did not have such items included in their budgets. He also said public funding was being made available through the provincial goverment. , • "I don't feel -it is the money that's at stake," Councillor Don Cameron suggested! "Essentially. by• making even a small donation, we are recognizing the plight of an•gjt).er community.' • . * He said he would support the idea of :i small amount being set aside in the budget to enable council to show token supporta "The gesture is im- portant." he concluded. Councillor Jay Campbell said he would like to know ttte reason for the disaster fund. saying that if it wag to` cover people who hadg't taken out adequate in- surance he wouldn't be too anxious to contribute, although. he would in cases where people lost property that in fact was uninsurable. Council didn't follow a suggestion by Mrs. Fuller that a letter be written ex- plaining that a local fund had been set up to collect from private citizens in Exeter and that the money would be forwarded ro the disaster area. bylaw may get its first test with the township requesting that Don Regier and Ted Landsbergen clean up their respective properties by September 30.
