HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Citizens News, 1976-06-23, Page 4Paige 4 -Citizens News, June 23, 1976 Ask for chance The change of ownership of any enter- prise invariably causes some problems. When the enterprise is a community's newspaper, the scope of influence is per- haps further reaching than some other businesses. . In this issue, the first published under the ownership of J.W. Eedy Publications, we wish to reiterate some comments made in the Citizens News last week. Foremost is the fact that the Citizens News will continue to be published as a separate newspaper. While some of the direction will originate from those in a supervisory capacity elsewhere, the news gathering, photography, advertising sales and much of the technical work on the Citizens News will be done in Zurich by Citizens News employees. As property owners and taxpayers in the community, Eedy Publications now has a stake in the success of the newspaper and therefore in the overall economic picture of the community. We at the Citizens News believe that the staff which has been assigned to produce the- newspaper each week is a competent group, well able to provide the community with a journal of which they can be proud. Naturally, there is some apprehension in this time of change. All we ask is a chance to prove our intentions. Given that chance, we assure readers and advertisers alike, every effort will be made to earn the oppor- tunity provided us. Krazy Days agar! The second of a series of six "Krazy Days" weekends takes place in Zurich this weekend and if it matches the first such event held in May, it should be lots of fun. "Krazy Days" is a promotion by the Zurich Business Association designed to provide bargains and entertainment for those shopping in Zurich. Most of the people in the area got involv- ed in the first "Krazy Days" in May and scurried from store to store as Ron Heinrich announced the "time specials" over the public address system. The merchants too, learned from the experience and are preparing more extra bargains for the weekend. In some cases last time, the mer- chants just weren't ready for the rush of customers that resulted. The free pony rides were a big hit last time and will likely be repeated sometime later in the summer. This weekend, the merchants are sponsoring free roller skat- ing at the Zurich arena. The success of "Krazy Days" so far has proved two points for the merchants. First, it pays to advertise and second, it's much more effective to get together as a group and promote the community rather than have each attempt to do the job alone. deiv Gwz Published Each Wednesday By J.W.

Citizens News call 236-4672 by Cathy McKinley Wbrd I think most of you know me, or at least of me (which is not necessarily the same thing) but for those of you who are not quite sure just which McKinley I am, a small introduction may be in order. I may as well begin by answering the "three most asked questions" I have so far encountered: yes, niy father's name is Anson; yes, I do look like my mother and no, I am not the one who married Dale Ratcliffe and settled on the Goshen - that is my older sister Karen. So, in case you are trying to figure out which one I am, that will at least give you something to go on. I have a BAA in Journalism from Ryerson in Toronto and have been working on the Zurich Citizens News for some months now. I must say, believe it or not, Zurich beats the heck out of living in Toronto. One of the most discouraging things I have run into the past few weeks was an Ontario Municipal Board hearing held in Varna last week. The topic of the hearing was a proposed subdivision by Phil Durand to be located on Lot 10, Lake Road West Concession, Stanley Township. Both Stanley township and Huron County council passed the application with some minor adjustments, however the Ministry of Housing wanted the subdivision made smaller. Why? Because they felt it was too large to be within the County plan. They did not seem to care that the very people who made up the county plan, that is Gary Davidson and the others at the Huron County planning board, decided that • it was within the County plan. Oh no, the ministry knows better. It took Mr. Durand's lawyers a year to get the application as far as the OMB hearing. All seemed well, except for one tiny detail. The ministry, after blocking the application even after approval by the township and county involved, decides not to bother showing up. The application by Phil' Durand was of course approved, but it kind of makes you wonder just what goes on in the Ministry of Housing. The Buffaloburger Fest in Grand Bend was well attended over the weekend and the burugers so popular they ran out of buffalo meat. I tried two (or was it three) of them over the two day fest, and while I wouldn't want then every day they were all right for a change. However, I feel a few changes would be in order before the third buffalo burger fest takes place next year. More security is definitely needed as too many people were in the tent and fenced off area at one time. More johns are needed definitely and they should be located within the complex it- self. This year you pretty well had to go to the hath house on • the beach and the lineups were sometimes dangerously long. Also 1 think it would be very wise to set up at Least two bars rather than the one this year. Congestion at the north end of the tent where the bar was located was terrible - if you managed to secure a glass of beer your chances of getting back through the crowd safely were just about nil. While accidents do happen, not everyone is happy when a beer is spilled on them. A little more preparation would definitely be in order to control the whole situation a bit" better -things almost got out of hand this year.
