TMna-Advocate Wednesday, October 20, 1999 In the News to New arena roof coming EXETER — Skaters will soon get a new roof over their heads in Exeter. Town council selected the low tender of Exeter's Smith -Peat Roofing & Sheet Metal to put a new roof over the arena part of South Huron Rec Centre at last week's committee of the whole meeting. Smith -Peat's tender of about $104,450 was the low- est of eight submitted that ranged up to $190,450. Service delivery manager Dave Moyer said he was pleased with the price of the tender, almost half of the original estimate for the new roof, and the engineering involved. The new roof will be in place by December after between one to two weeks of construction. Arena activ- ities like hockey, figure skating and ringette are not expected to be disrupted. The new roof will be funded 'through the $60,000 reserve fund set up for the project with the rest coming from the $240,000 Special Circumstances Fund grant from the province that has been earmarked by council for various community development projects. The new arena roof tops that list. Moyer said he would ask Smith -Peat to put a cost on repairing the community hall section of the Rec Centre roof. Vicious dogs trigger complaints to council Continued from front page Knight decided to lock up his dogs in the barn. He added there are a lot of stray dogs in the area and the problems villagers are having with dogs may not always be with his. Knight has five children and he says he keeps his three dogs to protect his wife and children when he's out of town on business. He said his children play with the dogs and he's not worried about ,leav- ing the dogs alone with his children. He said his dogs are not vicious, although he admits the temperament of one his dogs has changed because someone threw rocks at it on Knight's property. Knight said he will take extra care to ensure that dog doesn't run loose again. Knight's three dogs — a Rhodesian ridge -back, a bloodhound and a lab/terrier mix — are kept in a barn and do not normally run loose, Knight said, adding that recent renovations to his barn have allowed the dogs the opportunity to escape. He said the reno- vations on his barn should be finished'in two weeks. In the meantime he said he'll try to prevent the dogs from escaping from the barn again. "If this was something that was happening every day, I'd put the dogs down. I wouldn't tolerate it," Knight said. Knight said he wishes he had been invited to the council meeting last week and says the whole issue has been dealt with in a "cloak and dagger" man- ner. He said he's quite approachable and wishes residents had taken their complaints to him. He said he was home all weekend and out in the village and no one mentioned anything to him about the prob- lems with his dogs. At the council meeting, though, Masse said he has complained to Knight asking him to make sure the dogs don't run loose. Coun. Brad Clausius also said Knight "hasn't taken the hint" about his dogs and said the village will do what it can to deal with the issue. Knight also admitted he returned a phone call to a woman who called him last week complaining about two of his dogs ganging up on her dog. One of the dogs normally plays with the woman's dog, but another escaped the barn and the woman was con- cerned. Another issue is the death of a cat on the edge of Knight's property. He said he's assuming that inci- dent is what spurred on the presentation to council and called the cat incident "an unfortunate situation where the dogs had gotten out of the barn." Zurich clerk -treasurer Charlene Overholt told the T -A the village will be dealing with the issue by reviewing and updating its dog bylaw. She said she was waiting to hear from the police on the issue to see what the village's options are. Overholt will also send Knight a registered letter about the problem. "The next time (the dogs) get out, there's going to be hell to pay" --•- ZURICH RESiENT MIKE MASSE, SPEAKING TO COUNCIL ABOUT VICIOUS DOGS Lump of coal for vol By Kate Monk TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF HENSALL -- Hensall employees, councillors and committee members may not even get a lump of coal in their stocking if they can't attend the parks board's Christmas party. Council delayed its de- cision until November on whether people who are invited but don't attend the Hensall Christmas party should receive any- thing in lieu of the free dinner and dance. When the village ran the Christmas party, peo- ple who couldn't attend the dinner received a gift certificate in lieu of the evening's festivities. The Hensall Parks and Rec Board has taken over the party as a fund- raiser and has rec- ommended to council the party be the only Christ- mas offering to village staff, council and com- mittee members. Last year the party conflicted with the W.G. Thompson & Sons party and this year, the party lands on the same night as the Hensall District Co-op party. At council's Tuesday night meeting, Coun. Steve Towle said people should receive a gift cer- tificate if they can't at- tend the dinner while Councillors Greg Day - man and Rod Parker sid- ed with the parks board.
