HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1977-08-18, Page 7• M Through the other weeklies Six members of the . St. Marys planning board have resigned over the issue of a planning consultant. 0.. The St. Marys Journal - Argus reported last week that the resignation came after the town council decided to hire a Toronto firm instead of the planning firm from London that the board members recommended. David Bonis, chairman of the Planning Board, said that h., *kg v' i.+ +i,.,+ +I,. ,.,s,..,;.:1 had made their decision before the .motions ,of the reepmmend,ation were called f p111 Wi ll, 6,1•l.G 4Vu11�.11'�.,1Q►Llic.,i that the board did oot reflect -the views on the town's future. Council also noted that the boardwere elected representatives of thetown. Over 5,000 people attended the Exeter Midwestern Rodeo recently. The rodeo, a two- day event, has been taking place for the past 14 years. However, the Exeter Times -Advocate reports that its future may be questionable. Following the tallying of the receipts for this year's event, the decision will be made. Lack of support from the South Huron rec board, lack of new blood in the rodeo and the future of the community park with its condemned grandstand may be the stopping blocks in the rodeo's future. Rodeo' . Committee secretary Jack Malone noted 0,1 that there may be some hope for a rodeo by next Sep- .tember or October and things may have changed by then, but in the meantime, a meeting will be held to discuss the rodeo's im- mediate future. The fridges are being brought out again in Zurich. The fridges are not used in the conventional sense but as the Zurich Citizens' News pointed out, the old refrigerators will be used to cook the pounds and pounds of .beans that will mark the annual Zurich Bean,Festival, The festival will be held on the weekend of August 27. *1 Seaforth Town Council has approved the initial plans for a second senior citizens apartment complex in the town. The Huron Expositor explained that the complex is' to be built on John Street and will be composed of 16 one - bedroom units. The two- storey building will also feature a unit for han- dicapped people. The new building will begin construction in October and t will hopefully be completed by spring. Already son -ie 30 applications for occupancy have been sent in. McKillop Township is featuring a first in their municipal drains. According to the Expositor a new ditch cleaner is being used to clear the drains. The unit, owned a....London firm, is thefirst 67 its kind in Ontario and acts likea snowblower by 'removing the dirt from the ditch without disturbing the. stream bank or nearby crops. The machine is °guided by a laser beam which keeps the cutting level at a constant depth. .After years of complaining 'and problems, the Blyth dump will finally have the aid �f the Ministry of the Environment for a clean-up project. The Blyth Standard reports that the,. Ministry has offered the village a $1,000 grant to help in the cleaning and the levelling of the site. ' Back in the Brussels council, no decision has been made regarding the vacant 'seat left by one of the coun- cillors. The Brussels Post ex- plained that the council decided to postpone their . decision as to who will fill the' vacant seat until their next regular council meeting. One councillor noted that two letters of interest in the ap- pointment have already been .eceived by the council. Lack of interest and a shortage of competitors has prompted Brussels to cancel its rodeo this year. The Post explained that most of the rodeo members are farmers and their, occupational demands have accounted for the shortage. A chemiC'hl analysis of lagoons in Mitchell have shown that quality of the r affluent there is good, reported the Mitchell Advocate. Therefore it is unlikely that :he lagoon water was the tiller of ,many fish from the is :own to the village of 1~ullarton. The study did note a p?evalence of 60 gallons of athinonium nitrate which tilled Some 10,000 fish when' it spilled into the Thames River in May. Kincardine may be facing fish problems also. The Kincardine News reported that a guideline set out by the Ontario Government contains information on certain fish in the Great Lakes which may contain harmful substances.. Rainbow trout over 26 in- ches in length and chinook salmon ,.ove-r-. 12 inches may contain levels of 'Pt; $s above the federal guidelines, Alio white sucker and pike May contain the saKne harmful levels, depending on their length. It was noted that these fish can be eaten in restrained amounts, but should' not be eaten by women who are able to bear children, or children themselves. To promote slower traffic and keep money collected in speeding tickets the Wingham Town Council is considering the proposal to drop the town's speed limit to 25 mph. The Wingham Advance - Times reported that the move to lower the speed would allow the town to keep speeding fines rather than have them go to the province. However, council was not certain that this fact was true. They decided to check to see whether a town bylaw could give the town th e power to retain the fines. In the meantime, council agreed that slower traffic would benefit the town and hopefully make it a safer place. It seems to be a never ending story about the od- dities in our postal system. This week a Brussels lady told of her unusualx- perience with the mail to the Advance -Times. In contrast to last week's tale of the correct postal code, this lady explained that she sent for a pattern from Toronto to be sent to her home• in Brussels, Ontario. Unfortunately the mail• did not arrive .for some time and when it did appear the' parcel had been to Brussels, Belgium and back despite the fact that the address was correct as well as the postal code; for the Ontario =destination, Wingham has a sister; Standish, Michigan and later this month the two .com- munities will visit each other when 15 couples arrive in Wingham for a visit. The adoption was recently made, and Wingham delegates have, already ^visited their new 'frieirls Michigan. Even ..when they're full- grown they still look 'small but according to the Listowel Banner, they're "supposed to look that way because they're miniature donkeys. When full-grown the little donkeys stand 32 inches high andaccording to owners Dr. and Mrs. Glen Hendry of RR 3, Brussels they're probably the only miniature donkeys in the area. In fact it is not known whether there are any more in Canada.
