Villagers complain about derelict barn ZURICH - Fourteen village residents have complained to Zurich council about a barn they believe to be a safety and health hazard. Shingles have been blowing off the barn and landing on neighbouring properties. However, clerk -treasurer Mau- reen Simmons told council Thursday evening that the health unit has inspected the barn in the northwest corner of the village and declared it to be clean, but say it may be structurally un- sound. Councillor Keith Semple said he was concerned children might be playing in it while it is under risk of collapsing. Council decided to ask the building inspector to examine the derelict barn to see if it reJ quires demolition. Zurich doesn't want to disappear off the map ZURICH - According to Zurich reeve Bob Fisher, he has yet to meet someone who supports the downgrading of Highway 84 to a county road. "I don't think that anyone I've talked to thinks it should be a county road, but we should keep in the back of our minds that [the Ministry of Transportation] can say 'it's now a county road' and not have to do anything," said Fisher at Thursday evenings council meet- ing. County council last month was asked by the MTO if they would consider a study on the future downgrading of provincial high- ways igh- ways 83 and 84 to become I luron County roads. Councillor Doug Thiel told coun- cil he understood the Zurich Cham- ber of Commerce opposes any change in the status of highway 84. Thiel asked if the village Should suppppoo that sentiment. Tithed said could see many disad- vantages for Zurich to lose its stat- us as being located on a provincial highway. "The new provincial road maps come out and you're [Zurich] not there. You just disappear," warned Thiel. Fisher agreed with Thiel and said there would be no harm in voicing an opposition to such downgrading, adding letters should go to the county, member of provincial par- liament, and the MTO. Thiel said he would see to drafting a letter to present to coun- cil next month. "Rather than just dash off some letter, we should give it some thought," said Thiel. Fisher pointed out county council has refused to do a study for the MTO unless a request comes from the minister himself. London man fined for not report/ng accident • Amok EXETER - A London man was fined S153.75 in Justice of the Peace Court in Exeter last Tues- day for failing to remain at the scene of an acci- dent. Darcy Day of Quebec Street, London, pleaded not guilty to failing to wait for police after his car rolled over while going down an embank- ment in Stephen Township 4n Highway 81 at 1 a.m. January 27. Day did pkad guilty to an amended charge of failing to report the accident to police. Day did notify police 12 hours after the incident, and told the court he had no reason for not reporting it earlier. Justice of the Peace Doug Wedlake gave Day 15 days to pay the fine. Radar detector Scott King of Ryan Avenue, London was found guilty in court for driving with a radar warning device in his vehicle, and for driving with open liquor. King was stopped on the Main Street of Exeter on November 13 last year by a cruiser equipped with a device for detecting radar de- tectors. King showed police a New Brunswick driver's license in someone else's name, but investigation showed this license had been found by 'the driver who eventually produced his valid license. Police told the court there was a case of beer in the car with one open and one missing bottle. A radar detector was found in a jacket pocket and the court heard that the accused had one prior conviction of having a radar warning device. JP Wedlake set the fines at a total of S287.50 with 30 days to pay. The radar detector was forfeited. Spring cleanup woes for-Lucan LUCAN - The spring garbage pickup kept the Lucan works de- partment busy last week, but the village council felt some of the re- fuse being collected might not all be coming from local residents. "They seem to be dragging it out. I think some of it's coming from out of town," said works depart- ment superintendent Doug John- ston. He said this year's pickup went a little over the budget as it Wok sev- eral trips to the landfill.:.:::;::;.. , ..... "As long as you keep picking it, up t- up they'll keep putting it out," he said. But council agreed that was the purpose, to help cleanup the vil- lage. However, Johnston noted there were three or four stoves picked up from one residence. That's when it was believed some of the refuse was being brought in from outside the village. "I think maybe tag them and send them a warring," said councilor Tom McLaughlin who felt the pick- up system was being abused. J ter,,., Q ted that perhaps in the future, the landfill be open for a week and everyone take their own refuse to the site. "The people who abuse it and have garbage lying around would be the last ones to have it trucked away," said McLaughlin. It cost about $2,000 to do the pickup, up about $300 from a year ago. "I can't believe it cost more than last year," said reeve Larry Hotson. He said if the village was to hand out fines to those who abused the system it might stop a lot from tak- ing advantage of it. Sidewalks for Zurich ZURICH - After calling tenders for the reconstruction of sidewalks for various streets in the village. Zurich council decided 10 approve a littleextra work to take more ad- vantage of a provincial grant. Council had budgeted $40,000 for sidewalk improvement through its PRIDE project, but when a ten- der from Nicholson Concrete of St. Marys came in at $34,497, GST in- cluded, council decided it could af- ford a little more expense and see sidewalks on Main Street on the east side of the village upgraded. Council on Thursday evening ap- peared pleased with the tender, and pointed out that the S32.10 per line- ar metre was only slightly more ex- pensive than last year's sidewallc tender. The sidewalk project will also in- clude work in front of the newly - expanded village arena, but council have included a clause in the con- tract that requires work to be com- pleted before the Zurich summer fair.
