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

"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"This valuation is totally out of
date," said Recd, who recommended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.
