TEA TIME - Blue Water Rest Home resident Mary Ravelle and daughter Mona Harrison enjoy a tea brook at the Home's bazaar and teo. Reeve What is prime time at the Zurich arena? The village council spent- 40 minutes of their time discussing that question with arena manager Jerry Rader at their regular November meeting. The animated argument resulted of a letter from Carol Dietz, president of the Zurich and area figure skating club, requesting a return to the rec board's original proposal that ice rental on Saturdays and Sundays be charged at a reduced rate of $30 per hour. Zurich council passed a resolution at their October meeting designating the five hours on Saturdays when the club rents the ice as prime time at a rate of $35 per hour. The cheaper hours come into effect at 2:00 p.m. on Satur- days and continue for the weekend. Rader pointed out paying the prime rate costs the club an extra $400 per year, and clerk Sharon Baker added the club has more expenses than other organizations such as the minor athletics associa- tion (citing pro fees as one ex- ample), and fewer oppor- tunities to raise money. The final result was two motions. The one moved by Mike O'Connor and seconded by Isidore LaPorte said a rep- ly should be drafted refusing the request. Keith Westlake, seconded by Bob Fisher, mov- ed the reduced rate be put in- to effect for the club for one year, subject to review. Reeve Don Van Patter broke the tie by voting for an amended motion stating that breaks tie on a reply be sent to the figure skating club denying their re- quest for subsidization of ice time costs until they show cause as to why they should ' be given preferential treat- ment over any other user. Another subject of debate was whether or not council wished to give the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority permission to undertake a study to deter- mine the actual flood eleva- tions associated with the pre- sent condition of the Zurich drain. The drain only causes pro- blems in the spring and clear- ing out the ice and snow prevents flooding. Council feels a study would be a duplication of effort, as anyone wishing to build a sub- division in the affected area would be required to carry out a similar survey. Fisher said in his opinion the village would be better off staying away from an outside agency if possible. LaPorte agreed; saying no engineer's report is necessary, as the Zurich drain is not eligible for drainage grants, and a con- tractor could do just as good a job if council sometime in the future decides to install pipe, a pump and generator to take away excess water. Westlake, Zurich's representativeto theAusable- Bayfield Conservation Authority, was instructed to report that the June motion requesting the study had been rescinded.

Suggested renovations to the office shared by the clerk and the PUC which were brought up at the last PUC meeting were further ex- amined by council. PUC manager Charles Eckel had proposed two separate counters to eliminate the con- fusion at present when both PUC and tax bills are due at the same time. A glass window would be in- stalled at the PUC counter to enable personnel to sit and receive payment for PUC bills. Council would like to add an upper cabinet to display some of Zurich's historical artifacts slich as the model steam engine and the constable's uniform.
