The trip was organized by Ellison Travel. Shown here are: Les Des Villa gets official accreditation ,Continued from front page - plication for accreditation can be made and another year is usually .. consumed before -the inspection pro- cess can be completed. - The second phase addition of 26 rooms to the retirement home por- tion of the Villa has 'just recently been completed. Kanamphuza said applications are being taken. for. 14 single rooms still available. - The Villa owner said he is pre- pared to increase the capacity of the Villa nursing Horne as soon as the necessaary beds are allocated by the provincial government. He continued, " We now have a total of 89 people on the waiting . list to be admitted to our nursing home: Of these, 22 are in the rctir- ment home and 14 are patients at South Huron Hospital occupying active care beds. All previous.applications for addi- tional beds have been turned down by the Ministry of Health because of f the lack of funds. Exeter town council has been con- tinually supporting Kanamphuza in his attempts to get further nursing Hensall ----Continued from front page "It's something- you -have never carried, and it's been brought to . your attention before," said Reed, explaining most municipalities with a population over 600 insure their compressors against -failure. • Otherwise, Reed said the only other significant problem with Hensall's insurance is -the munici- pal building itself. Re said it is not covered to its full replacement value. It is insured at a maximum Limit of $171,000, a figure meant to represent the cost of building new municipal offices rather than restoring the heritage structure. Nevertheless, Reed called the in- sured value inadequate.' "$171„000 dollars isn't going to build you anything,” said Reed. He estimated the reconstruction of • arena insurance the present .-building after a fire couldcost as much as Si million or. more. Even a 6,000 square foot ._ modern office structure can cost. about S750,000.- . - - "This valuation is totally out of date," said Recd, who recommended a compromise. - "I think a comfortable level on this building would be a half a mil- lion dollars,' he concluded. A new category in the village's policy provides for conflict of inter- est insurance to reimburse a council - member for legal fees involved in charges under the Conflict of Inter- est Act, providing the verdict is not guilty. "If you're guilty, well; then don't call us," quipped Reed, adding that his company has dealt with 37 charges under the Act. -Regarding the offer of General Manufactured Homes to lease the company's property to allow a com- munity village BMX track, Reed simply reminded council "that prop- erty isn't yours." He said since the local BMX club is not affiliated with a larger, in- sured organization, the village would remain liable for injuries. - "Nothing you've done or we've done is going to relieve you of .Iia- bility in a court case," said Reed. Council -would have to decide if they were - going to sanction the track; keeping the insurance issue in mind. Council later agreed that the aud- it's recommendations should be cussed once a full council was on hand. Company charged over broken bridge incident - ZURICH - Hay Township coun- cil decided at their June 5 meeting to go ahead with charges against McCann Redi-Mix over the de- struction of a township .bridge in- volving one of the company's trucks. On the afternoon of May 16, a . McCann Redi-Mix truck with a. • load of gravel apparently exceeded the seven -tonne weight limit of a bridge north of the Exeter -landfill site on concession road 4-5. Coun cil are proceeding with charges as a • formality to establish responsibili- ty over costs of repairing the bridge. Reeve Lionel Wilder said town- ship bylaw officer Herman Van- Wieren has advised council- of the legal costs -involved in filing such -charges. - - A delegation from the Highlands I cottage subdivision presented coun- cil with their concems regarding the condition of their roads after instal- lation of a water distribution sys- tem from the Highway 21 pipeline. The property owners were con. cerned that clay from the trenches has spilled on the gravel roads, compromising the road surface dur- ing wet weather. The roads are still - considered private property. Council have contacted the con- tractor about the problem and are satisfied the road surfaces are being restored to their original condition before installation of the distribu- tion system began. Council is also looking into the costs involved in stabilizing the St. 'Joseph pier. Concerns have -been raised that the the pier is unstable to the point of possibly being swept. away in a future storm. Road superintendent Ross Fisher will be presenting council with re- pair estimates for the pier at a future meeting.
