(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) New council will revie parking bylaw One of the first it on the agenda for the new town council *ill be review of the overnight parking bylaw. The matter was passed over to the new council after the outgoing council acted on a request from the owners of the Bedford Hotel to grant relief from the bylaw. - Overnight parking is not allowed in town from November 15 to March 15 so vehicles: will not in- terfere with snow removal. But council approved a motion stating that angle parking on South Street between the Square and Elgin Avenue be exempt from the bylaw so that hotel patrons could park overnight without receiving a ticket. While council did ammend the bylaw to allow overnight parking on a limited section of South Street, the newcouncil will review the entire matter of overnight parking. • • Police Chief Pat King says that while the matter of overnight parking has been referred to the new council, the police are not enforcing the bylaw. While the police department has issued some warnings, tickets will only be issued in the event cars are im- peding snow removal after a heavy snowfall. Chief King said the bylaw worked well last . year over the four-month period. He says it is virtually impossible to only have the bylaw in effect when there is substantial snowfall and that the four month time .element worked well. ' hi a letter to council, Chief King stated that while the police issue tickets for overnight parking, they are simply enforcing a bylaw of council. He added that by not allowing parking on any town street between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m., it has made the job of snow removal easier for the works and engineering crews. . He said it would be impossible to enforce the bylaw by any other criteria, such as when deemed necessary or during substantial snowfall, than the time frame now in effect. There has been some concern expressed on the part of citizens with respect to parking on boulevards. In the, bylaw, the word street is defined to include roadway, boulevard and sidewalk and police have ticketed vehicles parked on boulevards or shoulders. Some people do not have driveways, but from November 15 to March 15, cars may not be parked on grassed, gravelled or paved boulevards. Council- could also consider imposing new times on the parking restrictions .and perhaps shorten the violation period from 3.a.m. or just until a.m. The police are bound to enforce council's bylaws, but the Chief said the parking restriction bylaw was working quite well and he said there were few complaints. While he conceeds the bylaw may need some revision, he feels it accomplishes its task. The town of Goderich only bans overnight parking four months of the year while other towns and cities have Fear -round overnight parking restrictions. Huron County bureau brings. Christmas to needy families BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE . Santa's•elves are busy collecting toys, games and food at the Huron County Christmas Bureau to ensure a sparkle in the eyes of the less fortunate children. These volunteer elves are accepting donations of non-perishable food and toys and. games this week at the five bureaus across Huron County. They are located in Goderich, Clinton, . Seaforth, Exeter and Wingham. The Christmas bureaus are operated by the Huron County Family and Children's Services with Audrey Royal of Goderich as volunteer co-ordinator and Jackie'. Harrison, also of Cjodericti, as volunteer secretary. . The aim of the bureau is to provide one new toy and a new article of clothing for needy children under 16 years of age at Christmas. The bureau also distributes non-perishable food and ensures that families have food for Christmas dinner. More elves are brought into the picture as the bureau distributes yarn to women across the county from which they knit mitts, hats and scarves. These are also distributed along with the toys and games. Financial assistance is also required. Last year, over $11,000 was raised for the bureau and as it operates solely on financial donations, these will be accepted in the coming weeks. Mrs. Loyal commended county residents for being supportive of the bureaus. Donations of cash come - from individuals, service clubs, churches and other organizations. Years ago, service, cllbs in each community handled assistance to needy families but it has now evolved into a general referral system. Names of those needingassistance are submitted to the bureau from public health nurses, Family and Children's Services, Huron County social services, churches and service clubs. The county co-ordination attempts to help all those in need and avoid duplication. In these tough economic times being experienced across the country, Huron County is no exception. So far, Mrs. Royal said, the number receiving assistance from the bureau has increased 20 per cent. Last year over 200 families with 500 children benefitted from the efforts of the bureau. Mrs. Royal said realizing that a child somewhere will be smiling on Christmas morning because of the bureau gives her a warm glow. She added that those who contribute to the bureau are "pretty big people." PLUS BONUS...
