Rev. Tony Senderup of
Sacred Heart Church,
Wingham, Dean of the
Stratford Deanery, spoke
to the trustees. •
A striking committee,
to name the members of
the four standing com-
mittees and the three ad
hoc conimittees, will
consist df the board
chairnian and vice
chairman, 1 and John
O'Leary.
The legal firm of
Donnelly & Murphy • of
Goderich was named
solicitor for the board.
The board hired John
McCauley, 34, of
Woodstock, to replace
Joseph Mills as
superintendent r of
education. He will
commence his position
the first of January at a
salary of $33,000. He will
be allowed 20 cents per
mile for mileage and
fringe benefits the same
as given Mr. Mills.
A native of Perth
County, where he was
born and raised and
taught two ' years in
Stratford prior to 1969, he
is married and is prin-
cipal of St. Marys in
Woodstock.
The board passed a
borrowing by-law of $2.5
Million in order for the
board to carry on the day-
to-day business during
the coming year.
Dr. Roger Eickmeier, a
Stratford dentist, and his
wife, Marie, of Dublin,
who completed in August
the building of a new
hon3e in Logan Township
on 50 acres, appeared
before the board to speak
of their problem with the
Township of Logan.
Dr. Eickmeier said his
troubles started because
the township did not like
our location of our home
on sideroad 30 and passed
a by-law not allowing a
laneway entrance to a
sideroad but must be to a
concession road. He said
provincial regulations do
not hinder entry to or,
egress off a sideroad. He
said the sidetoad in the
past has been open all
year: until last year after
they had indicated they
would be constructing a
house on the property.
Dr. Eickmeier said on
the weekend the township
put up a "road closed"
sign at the end of their
sideroad. The en-
tranceway to their home
is a half mile east up this
sideroad. "We would like -
our little boys to be
picked up at their
gateway, not half a mile
away at the concession
road," he said.
"They re five and
seven yeas ----old. It is
- simply not safe for them
to. walk this half mile. We
want our children to
attend a separate school -
- we want them picked up
where they are being
picked up now -- at our
gateway."
He went on to explain
that this morning
(Monday) the bus driver
would not pick up the
children at their gateway
even though the road was
free of snow and dry. He
said he had himself snow
removal equipment to
keep it open.
William Eckert,
Director of Education,
said that the driver had
been instructed by the
transportation com-
mittee not to enter the
sideroad from concession
5 until the "road closed"
sign was removed. The
committee had' reached
this decision on October
18 after being informed
the road would be closed.
Trustee Ronald Murray
of Dublin asked, "Why do
they (the township) not
want to keep this road
open?"
Dr. Eickmeier replied,
"They said it would cost
too much money. They
gave us a cost of $60,000
indicating they would
have to get another
machine if they had to
keep it free of Snow." He
said the business people
in Brodhagen had
presented a petition to the
township council asking
that the road be kept open
.for them and other
residents.
"It's pretty obvious to
us it is a grudge match
between the reeve and
myself. I don't know what
happened. But I have
witnesses to prove there
is."
Trustee Ted Geoffrey
of Zurich asked how
Drivers must adjust for winter
Winter weather gets
the blame 'for a lot of
accidents. But, according -
to the Ontario Safety
League, the real culprit
in most cases is the
driver who fails to adjust
to . cold weather
problems.
Here are some of the
causes of winter wrecks
and the defensive driving
measures used to avoid
them.
"Too fast for con-
ditions'' is all too
frequently listed as an
accident factor. When the
road is slippery you can't.
stop as quickly or as
safely. Lower your speed
when the road surface is
hazardous. The Ontario
Safety League states that
you should stretch your
following distance to even
double or triple the usual
road interval.
Abrupt turns, lane
changing and sudden
acceleration or
deceleration can cause
bad skids on ice and
snow. Anticipate turns or
speed changes and make
them slowly and
gradually.
Limited visibility -is a
major problem. A driver
wl:o scrapes only a little
peephole in his ice -
covered windshield is
asking for it. Clear your
windshield completely of
ice and snow and keep it
that way. Also, scrape
outside mirrors clear. Be
sure your defroster is in
good shape.
Poor traction has
caused many a crackup.
Check tread wear on your
snow tires and keepthem
inflated correctly. Tire
inflation should be
checked more frequently
during winter months to
be sure pressures are at
recomm.ended levels;
cold weather reduces tire
pressure approximately
one pound every five
degree celsius drop in
temperature.
many residents are living
on the road. Dr. Eick-
_meier said "in the first
mile and a quarter out of
Brodhagen, one family,
my uncle, that road is
open. In the second
section our family, it is
closed now. In the third
mile and a quarter, two
families and in the final
mile and a quarter before
Highway 8, three
families, both sections
open.
Dr. Eickmeier said his
lawyer, Jim Donnelly off
Goderich was working on
the problem. He said his
family had -lived there
since 1864 -- his grand-
father, his father...
