Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1983-08-17, Page 3Thieves hit Clinton stores Thieves nearly made off with more than $6,300 in merchandise from Jerry MacLean and Sons Sports, but thanks to the quick thinking of Julianne MacLean the items have been returned. Thieves smashed a Targe glass door and made off with three cassetee recorders, three portable stereos, six car stereos and six video games on July 22. The merchandise was valued at more than $6,394.42. Clinton Police Chief Lloyd Westlake reported that Julianne became suspicious of the actions of one customer after the incident, which led to the discovery of all the merchandise, stashed behind the Clinton fire hall. While MacLean's retrieved their stolen guods, the thieves evaded police arrest. Police believe that connected thefts occurred on August 8 at Corrie's Red and White grocery store and the Clinton Legion. Forced entry at Corrie's resulted in the theft of $300 in cash and cigarettes. Nothing was stolen in a similar break-in at the Clinton Legion, but damage amounted to $100. Another theft at the Seaforth Legion, the same night, resulted in the theft of six cases of liquor, valued at $1,400. Police are continuing their investigation into the recent thefts and Chief Westlake asks store owners to report any suspicious happenings. In an unrelated theft, $1,350 in cash, six cartons rti s of cigarettes and" a trayof cigarette lighters were stolen from Royal Maintenance on August3. An 18 -year-old Clintonian and a 16 -year- old Varna youth have been charged. The Clinton man has also been charged with possession of narcotics. Did you know that? Canadians now spend an estimated 32 to 35 per cent of their food dollars on eating outside the home, compared to less than 10 per cent in 1962. Fast food accounts for about 40 per cent of the dining out occasions, but only 24 per cent of the sales revenue. Women, by moving out of the kitchen and into offices and factories, have become consumers of fast food rather than competitors to fast food. Even lower income families spend an average of 17 to 19 per cent of their food budget on eating outside the home. One person households in the highest income brackets in contrast, spend an average of 72 per cent of their food dollars eating out- side the home. A typical fast food meal - burger, fries and a shake - once or twice a week is not a problem, but eating fast food for two- thirds of your meals may mean you're not eating enough fruits and vegetables. Jimmie Lawrie had no need to look for more food at the bottom of the big pot. There was plenty of gourmet delicacies to feed more than 100 people who attended the gourmet dinner put on by the board of directors from the Blyth Centre for the Arts. Janet Lawrie and Sheila Richards were also on kitchen duty for the August 13 event which helped to raise money for the operation of the Centre and Blyth Summer Festival.

Mr. Coventry said that upon approval from the Hospital Board, the project could start before fall and will provide 10 new jobs over a period of 120 work weeks. Randy Collins, the owner of Hully Gully Sports and. Recreation was "very much surprised" after learning he was awarded a $19,200 COED grant. He said he applied for the grant in the spring and "gave it up tor lost" when he hadn't received any word on whether of not they had approved his application. Mr. Collins said he would have to wait until next spring before starting any renovations. The total budget for the Hully Gully project is $39,520, with Hully Gully providing $20,320. Mr. Collins hopes to add a complete underground irrigation system thus controlling dust problems. Spectator bleachers and a general face lift to the grounds at Hully Gully will be included in the project, which is described by Mr. Collins as "phase one in an overall improvement plan." "By making these improvements next spring we hope to make Hully Gully the permanent home of the Senior Nationals and bring the track up to Expert National Standards," Mr. ollins said. The.. project willprovide four new jobs over a period of 48 work weeks. The Salvation Army Camp in Bayfield received an $18,000 COED grant for the renovation and upgrading of camps. Major Earl McInnis said the Salvation Army was "very pleased to have the funds so they could do work that could normally not be done." Major McInnis said the grant would complete five major projects. The construction of a new stairway from the main camp into a chapel area that is now badly eroded will be first on the agenda. The re -shingling of a large auditorium and five or six cabins will also be completed. The painting of 10 camp buildings as well as the building of a divider in the camp showers are also included in the project. The project will provide four new jobs over ' period of- .120 work weeks.

Naming a sale anything other than a garage sale will not allow exemption from the bylaw. Garage sale is explained as meaning any general sale to the public of personl property from any residential premises in any zone in Clinton, and applies to all sales named garage, lawn, yard, attic, porch, driveway, room, patio, backyard, flea market or rummage sale. Personal property refers to property which is owned, used and maintained by any person or members of his or her residence and acquired in the normal course of living in, or maintaining a residence, but does not include merchandise which was purchased for resale or obtained on consignment. Councillor Ross Carter asked if personal property included cars, motorbikes and other items that may be occasionally sold from a private residence. Council agreed that these individual sales would not be included. The majority of council supported the bylaw with little argument, however Councillor Charlie Burgess asked for more thought on the matter before the decision to approve the bylaw was made. He said, "I'm concerned that council has put a tight lid on cottage industries. The rights of the people are sliding away all the ses... time because a few are abusing the rights." Councillor Hunter asked Councillor Burgess if it was a right or a privilege to hold garage sales? He answered his own question explaie. _,g, "It's been a privilege and now through the bylaw we're giving them the right." Councillor Burgess replied, "I believe people should have the right to make a living however they see fit." Rights of those holding garage sales, impedes on rights of other, particularly neighbors who do not like the traffic congestion, Councillor Hunter noted. Mayor Archibald called the discussion between the two councillors, "a philosophical question that couldbn't be easily answered. Whose rights are more important? We have to think of the best interests for the most people in the town." Councillor Armstrong asked that no further delays be given to the issue. She said she'd seen the need for such a bylaw for the past two years and it was essential in view that other businesses operating in residential areas had been disallowed. The bylaw was given three readings and passed by council and is now in full effect. So before Clintonians clean out the basement or garage and set up the signs, they must remember to purchase a license permitting their sale. v:.FY:i..:;;a'r'r,?::Y:H:Y.�Y:...y,Y'•.
