Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1978-01-05, Page 3• Many horsemen in the area thought that Dapper Dillon, raised by "Trucker" George Elliott of Clinton should have been named Canada's aged -trotter of the year over Dart Camp, owned by Neil McRann of Lucan. Dapper had more wins than Dart, in fewer starts, and beat Dart five times out of the nine times they faced etch other. Dapper was also third in the International Trot in New York last summer. Here Dapper is pictured winning . the Don Mills Trotting Stake in Toronto last March (upper photo), while in the lower picture he poses with, left.to right: Randy Kerr; Bob Rowcliffe of Hensall; co-owner Doreen .Rowcliffe of Hen- sall; co-owner Barry Elliott of,.Kitchener; driver, Terry Kerr, Gail Kerr; "Trucker" George;" Don Lipson; Fred Elliott; and "Shorty", a fan. (Michael Burns photo) New conditions set for school sewerage Several new conditions prevail now regarding the sewage disposal system at Blyth Public School, county council learned Thursday. The Huron County board of Health with endorsation of the Acting Medical Officer of Health Dr. Brian Lynch and - 'the Ministry of the Envird iment, has ' recommended three new conditions which, if -met, would be considered satisfactory performance: ' Those conditions are: that a proposal submitted by Brian Garratt of Kyles, Kyles and Garratt Architects, be im- plemented (this proposal was not outlined in detail) ; that an electrical interlock 'be connected .,.to the sewage pump so that when the water table level reaches the three-foot mark below the tiles, the pump is automatically shut off until the water level recedes ; and that a responsible person be appointed to visually inspect the height of the water table and record in a daily log the fin - dings as to height of water table, and time of inspection. The agreement also states that if any or all of these conditions are not com- pletely met, or a recurrence of the sewage ponding problem develops, the original order by the former MOH Dr. Frank • Mills will be reinstated im- mediately.. Mills' order was that the holding tank be—regularly pumped and the refuse"' hauled away. Ba CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 197$ --PAGE 3 eld, Goderich Twp. sign pact Goderich township council,approved a fire agreement with Stanley township ' and the village of Bayfield at its last meeting and will now pick up 30 percent of the operating costs of the Bayfield fire department. Under the terms of the agreement Goderich township now has part ownership in the Bayfield volunteer department and will pay almost one third of the budget to operate it as well as an hourly fee for fire fighting in the township. The agreement stipulates Jhat the townships and the village share the operating expenses on a system based on the taxable assessment of each municipality rather than the population. The department will be based in Bayfield and the village will pick up 33 percent of the costs. Stanley township will pay 36 percent. The new , agreement gives each municipality representation in the ad- ministration of the fire department, each one getting a seat on a fire protection board."Bayfield will have two members on the board since Bayfield Reeve E41 Oddleifson chairs it and one member is from the village. The representatives will all be members of their respective councils. Goderich township treasurer Ben Whitely said he did not know yet what the new agreement would cost the township pointing out that the 1978 budget has not been prepared yet for the department. He said the township paid $1,300. in a retainer to the department, $171 towards a teleph6ne alarm system and $450 in fire calls in 1977. The new agreement sets the rate for fire calls at $100 for the first hour and $70 for each additional hour. The township spent just over $13,000 for fire protection in 1977 splitting that amount between fire departments in Bayfield, Clinton and Goderich. The township has an agreement with the town of Clinton similar to the one with Bayfield except it is more expensive. The township paid $7,962 in retainer and operating costs to the town of Clinton in 1977 as well as $770 in fire calls. A retainer paid- to Goderich amounted to $1,300 with an additional $1,050 in fire calls bringing the total paid to Goderich, to $2,350. The township also paid Colborne township $186 for their share in ownership Of thenker truck operated date RELAX Your Public Utilities Commission Accounts Will Vary Any number of conditions can cause chonges in your Utility ac- counts as rendered every two months on the average.

Plans for the development were . presented to—council by Robert Storey and council agreed in principle to a three phase development. The first phase will be between 35 and 40 lots, the second from 25 to 30 and the third from 50 to 55. ' - The area to be developed is an 80 acre parcel that lies on the outskirts of Holmesville and abuts property owned by the White Carnation and Holmesville Public School.

Preliminary drafts of the development call for septic tanks for each lot and a communal well for water supply. Public health .inquiry study given to county Kim Ainslie's report on his inquiry into public health related services and health planning in Huron County is completed and has been reviewed by the executive committee of the county. Copies will now go to all county council members, department heads, county'' should have legal responsibility for the hospital representatives and hospital Huron County Health Unit as well as the board chairmen and members of planning and co-ordination of health parliament. services in Huron. The executive committee will give further consideration to the -matter in 1978, accordingto Chairman Bill Morley. Ainslie was retained by council in May to prepare a brief to support passing legislation to provide that Huron County Council, rather than the board of health, Hydro to, test system with voltage reduction As part of a scheduled series of tests, Ontario Hydro will reduce system voltage by five per cent on January 11, 1978+ The test will cover two one-hour periods -- 12:30p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. -- and is not expected to affect residential, commercial or in- dustrial customers. "Very few customers will even, be aware that anything is happening," says Roger Whitehead, system operation manager:------ ' - It is estimated that a five per cent voltage reduction will reduce system demand by 21/2 per cent which would be about 380 megawatts, enough to supply, the needs of a city,the size of London, Ont. The test is standard procedure, carried out twice a year to determine the advantages of voltage reduction; locate operating and any customer problems and ensure that Hydro operations staff is familiar with procedures. The last voltage reduction took place August 23 this year. If bad we her or system problems occur Januar 11, the testing will be delayed two day to January 13.
