ThLTJTLE NEWLS Appeal on new Hay Township office not withdrawn by residents group Hay Township reeve Lionel Wilder says he doubts the claims that the opposing group has many members on its list ZURICH - A group of residents oppo.,;:J to the new Hay Township Municipal Office shows no signs of withdrawing its appeal on a minor variance for the property. A letter from Glenn Hayter, rep- resenting the Residents of Hay As- sociation, suggests the group is willing to take the matter to a full Ontario Municipal Board [OMB] hearing, and is apparently un- satisfied with its findings at a pre- liminary hearing on October 19. Hayter, at the hearing, said his group would review the in- formation from the hearing, and would decide whether or not to withdraw its appeal within seven to 10 days. Neither Hay Township, nor their lawyer has heard anything further, but Hayter did release a letter to the editor this Monday [published on page four of this week's issue]. The letter states that the infra- structure grant program funds need- ed to build the new office in Zurich would be refused because the build- ing's plans do not conform to the village's zoning. It also states the village would not be able to issue a building permit because the build- ing would be too close to the street corner to allow for traffic visibility. Hay Township reeve Lionel Wilder said that both of those con- cerns were clearly dealt with at the October 19 hearing, and that Hayter's letter is only an attempt for more publicity for his cause rather than dealing directly with the town- ship or village. While Hayter frequently ques- tioned the credentials at the meet- ing of officials handling the minor variance, Wilder said he has to question Hayter's claim of repre- senting a large association of town- ship residents. Hayter has said he represents a group of people who signed a peti- tion in the spring, demanding the new Hay office be built outside the village, in the township itself. Only three names have been mentioned in connection with the appeal, Hayter himself, Grant Jones, and Norm O'Brien. "The petition he had never got off the floor," said Wilder, noting that it was never presented to township council. "There's probably more wolves in Hay Township than [signed names]." Wilder said Hayter's tactics have been to dispute details about why Zurich should not permit the minor variance for the building, which would effectively allow it to sit as close to the street as existing build- ings in• the Zurich downtown. Wilder said those details have noth- ing to do with Hayter's real pur- pose, particularly since Hayter lives well outside Zurich. "He wanted it [the new office] lo- cated in Hay Township. That's what this whole thing is about," said Wilder, arguing Hayter is just "grasping for loose ends". Wilder repeated his council's po- sition that the decision to locate the 'Bend candidates address issues Should tourism remain the village's number one priority? le'Continued from front page. cillor in the City of London. He said that laying the long range plan is one thing but to make it hap- pen is another. Mann said now is the time for council and business to work together. "We need an inviting and safe harbour, now is the time to pre- serve it," said Mann. Mann is also a big supporter of building a by-pass around the vil- lage. Todd Desaulniers - has no polit- ical experience but did run against Lawson and Woodley three years ago. "We've hecn falling apart for the past 10 years," said Desaulniers of the village. "Our town has lost more business than it has brought in." He solicits votes to be able to "help clean this town up." Wayne Forbes - no Grand Bend political experience and said his ex- perience of having a paper route when he was a youngster and being a boy scout will help him be pre- pared for doing the job on council. "No matter what we do, taxes are in our life every step of the way," said Forbes who doesn't want taxes raised. Shirley Andraza - although she has no political experience in Dashwood man dies in fall from loft OPP say the man was making repairs to an old barn when he fell DASHWOOD - Police say an accidental fall claimed the life of a Dashwood man last week. The Exeter OPP were called in by thc coroner's office to in- vestigate thc circumstances of the death of Lloyd Morden, 57, of 156 William Street who was found lying unconscious by his wife Thursday. "It was strictly accidental," said OPP sergeant Terry Devine, who said it is apparent Morden was rebuilding a loft floor into a new roof for a small Karn beside the home. The original roof was to be re- moved later. "1t looks like he fell out of the loft," said Devine, adding that a lad- der was at the scene, but still standing. Morden went out to work on the barn at about 3:30 p.m., and was found by his wifc at about 5 p.m. Morden was taken to South Huron Hospital and then transferred to University Hospital in London. He died some 17 hours later of a fractured skull and injuries suffered in thc fall to the concrete floor. Correction: trustees on ballot In last week's issue, it was errone- ously stated that only Granton resi- dents will be going to thc polls this November 14. While it is correct the only race in thc Biddulph Township municipal election will be for one Granton trustee position, all Biddulph resi- dents will have a ballot in choosing school board representation. Public school supporters will have a chance 10 select two trustees to represent Biddulph, London Town- ship, and 1.ucan from candidates Bob Harvey, Sharon Needham, and Scott Dclormc-Trichncr. Separate School supporters will elect one trustee to rcpresen. Bid- dulph, 1.ucan, and North Dorches- ter, West Nissouri, and London Townships. Candidates arc Connie Bontjc, Aldo Caranci, and Gil Van. Der Spank. The Times -Advocate regrets the error. Correction: donor omitted In last week's issue, a listing pro- vided to the Times -Advocate of do- nors to the Lions Scenic Gardens project included a $300 donation from Donna Jones. Thc correct listing for the donation should have read "Ted and Donna Jones". The Times -Advocate regrets the error.
