Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1987-01-21, Page 5Summerhill may not be the thriving hamlet that it once was, but the local community hall there is still put to good use. Friday night is Euchre Party Time in Summerhill. Some 30 local folk were out the other night, among them George Merrill, who took a few tricks. (Shelley McPhee Haist photo) Residents don't like location... • from page 1 and it lights, I'll give you a $50,000 cheque." Another concern brought forward in a let- ter was the property value decrease. "I can't tell you if the property value will go up or down. I'm buying the building per- sonally so I would hope it would go up," said Mr. Harris. Increased traffic was also mentioned by concerned residents as children go back and forth to school along that road. Also men- tioned was what type of garbage would be created and how it was to be stored. "I'll have a garbage bin. Most of the gar- bage will be cardboard boxes," explained Mr. Harris. Mr. Harris' main reason for going ahead and proposing the zone change instead of renting the retail space in the core area that he learned was available, was the lack of parking. To this Marilyn Tyndall said, "I object (to the rezoning) because there is available space downtown. There's plenty of parking there...I've never had a problem." Scott Tousaw of the Huron County Plann- ing Department said the rezoning of the old Pentecostal Church* would require two amendments - one a zoning amendment and the other an amendment to the official plan as the property is presently zoned communi- ty facility. , He also said, "The official plan is very pro -core. Highway locations are reserved for businesses that can't locate in the core, such as lumber yards and service stations." A recommendation will be made by the Clinton Advisory Committee and taken to council at their February 2 meeting.

Garbage Up For Grabs - Clinton Town Council agrees that Bud Charnney of Auburn is doing an excellent job with gar- bage pick-up in town. However, unlike last year, council has decided that the upcoming garbage contract will be tendered. The last contract signed by the Town of Clinton and Chamney Sanitation was not tendered and Councillor Rosemary Arm- strong, who heads the sanitation and waste committee, stated at the January 18 meeting, "We're getting an excellent ser- vice from the present man. Tendering would not be in the best interest of the taxpayers."

McNeil, Reeve of Colborne Township, was acclaimed new warden of the County of Huron for the 1977 term on Monday afternoon when the only other can- didate nominated, McKillop Reeve Allen Campbell, withdrew from the election before a vote was called. Rising to speak after his name was placed forward for the top county council post, Mr. Campbell told the crowded council chamber that he was as surprised by the nomination as everyone else. Then he added,"You don't have to sweat anymore Doug, I am withdrawing my name from the nomination. Hospital's Budget -Up Only 5 Per Cent - Clinton Public Hospital's 1977-78 budget will increase by $59,563 to $1,445,000, but Hospital Administrator Doug Coventry says it represents a very limited 5 per cent increase. The small increase in the working budget, he said, could mean cutbacks in staff or other areas to cope with rising costs. Council Views Mall Plans - Bayfield Coun- cil met in regular session Monday evening and viewed plans of a proposed mini - shopping mall submitted by Ray Bell. The plans showed a permanant LCBO outlet, a meat market, and another store area not yet leased out. . 25 years ago January 18, 1962 Processing Plant Closed Here Temporari- ly - Canada Packers Ltd. poultry processing plant in Clinton has been closed temporari- ly, owing to a shortage of poultry to be pro- cessed.

Hospital Board Annual, Feb.19 Concerned About Needed Funds - During their meeting Monday night, members of the Clinton Hospital Board decided to hold their annual meeting on February 19, in the town hall. Chairman Harold C. Lawson conducted the meeting. It was noted that a vacancy on the board exists due to the retirement of Arther M. Knight, and this should, be filled at the annual meeting.

And he asks especially that visiting at the hospital be discontinued for a time. Clinton has very lit- tle if any flu, but nobody knows just what may develop from an apparently simple cold. It is better to be safe tha�np sorry.
