A Zurich man is having to go through an Official Plan Amend- ment process so that the former St. Boniface Convent can be used as a residence. Apparently, when the nuns lived in home which is situated directly across from the St. Boniface School and Church, it was zoned as a "community facility" property. Now it has been sold into private hands, it needs a residential zoning. The new owner of the property is Ray Hartman, who estimated the the Official Plan Amendment pro- cess will cost him about $2,000 "at least". Hartman has moved into the house, but needs the rezoning to make the whole thing legal. He is also interested in building on the vacant corner lot, which would have to be severed from the proper- ty. Although Huron County planner Jennifer Hosack agreed the rezon- ing of the house "isn't controversial at all" she told village council she could do nothing more than help speed the process through for Hart- man. Hosack said the minimum time for the zoning to take effect might be one month, but in all likelihood will take longer. Capsule Comments with Ernie Miatello Good news for raw oyster lovers. Certain species of bacteria are sometimes found in raw oysters. These bugs can cause diarrhea if there are enough of them. Researchers in New Orleans have found that dousing the oysters in Louisiana Hot Sauce or Ta- basco will kill these bacteria after only one minute. Alters the oyster taste some, though. Giving a baby a nighttime bottle of juice or formula is found to be a big factor in producing cavities. Cows milk didn't cause this problem. Evi- dently the casein, calcium and phosphorus in cows milk have cavity - fighting effects. Those safety caps we put on your prescription bottles are taken for granted today.

John Barry, president of the Middlesex Provincial Liberal Associ- ation, has announced that he has asked the Ontario Liberal Party to call a nomination meeting for the riding for May 31. "In order for that to happen," said Barry, "the party must call a meeting of a panel of three people: a representative of the OLF (On- tario Liberal Foundation) president, a representative of the campaign team, and the president of the Middlesex Association." Barry said the panel will meet between seven and eight weeks prior to May 31 to confirm the date and announce the nomination meeting. "If the panel does announce the meeting as I've requested," said Barry, "our membership will be frozen retroactively 14 days prior to the announcement. That will put the cut off date for memberships between March 22 and March 29, depending on the actual day of the announcement." A location for the meeting has not yet been decided, but will be announced in April after the panel decision. Barry did say that former Middlesex MPP and chief government whip in the Peterson government, Doug Reycraft, has announced his intention to he the riding's Liberal candidate again. Reycraft was defeated in the 1990 provincial election by current NDP member of provincial parliament Irene Mathyssen.
