ERIC CARSCADDEN Clerk - Town of Exeter " 77 Times-Advocate, October 24, 1974 Pagell Tuckersmith reeve seeks. re-election Reconsider special. fee Experience building boom Tuckersmith Township is experiencing a building boom this year. At a council meeting Tuesday, clerk James McIntosh reported 81 building permits had been issued valued at $1,787,880 compared to $419,670 in 1973 and $364,600 in 1972. Township- residents will have an opportunity to question their Exeter council's plan to charge some industrial and commercial users an additional levy for the dump has been turned back to the sanitation committee for further review. The action was taken after two industrial users notified council this week they felt the $50 levy sent them following last meeting was unfair. J.F. Farm Machinery and icongskilde Ltd. both noted they did not get regular garbage pickup and had to take their own refuse to the dump. They also pointed out the additional in- dustrial taxation they pay should cover use of the dump, Both returned their bills to the clerk's office. Councillor Ben Hoogenboom contended that council had not communicated with the firms and was advised that only a bill for the $50 levy had been sent. He said they should have been advised why the levy was im- posed. Deputy-reeve Helen Jermyn also argued that council should have a basis for the levy and this should be the amount of refuse the firms take to the dump.. She and Councillor Ted Wright noted that some retail stores have more garbage than some of the industries and yet they pay no extra levy, while at the same time they get their garbage picked up three times a week. "The committee should take a close look at the contributions each takes to the dump and assess them proportionately," Councillor Bruce Shaw argued. While the matter will be reviewed, some of those who use the dump will still pay the levy without further deliberation. They are industrial and com- mercial owners outside the town limits. CONTEST WINNER — The grand prize winner in the recent T-A Spot the Merchant contest was Mrs. Clarence Wurm, Carling Street, Exeter. Mrs. Wurm receives merchandise valued at $25 from each of four of the sponsoring merchants of her choice, T-A photo Election battle looms for Grand Bend seat Councillor John Teevins has not decided on future plans and Douglas Martin said "I am retiring for sure," A resident of Gibbs Park, Harold Green indicated a week ago he would be in the race for council and several other men attended Monday's ' council meeting as observers and may be in the running. File submission for handicapped Exeter council this week filed a suggestion from the Ability Fund organizers that steps be taken to assist the handicapped when municipal elections roll around on December 2. The communication presented to council by local organizer Dorothy Pfaff noted that Toronto had passed a resolution asking the government to pass legislation prior to the election to allow voting officials to move the ballot box sufficiently from its usual location in the poll to the bottom of the outside steps, etc. which the handicapped are unable to negotiate. Noting that many handicapped are unable to vote because polling places have steps or narrow doorways, the letter said the legislation would enable many.more citizens with physical disabilities to exercise their ddfatratielpliVilege'.'" • However, Exeter council ctObbted the legislation could be enacted in time and decided to file the letter without endorsing the resolution from Toronto. Reeve Derry Boyle said the handicapped could give their votes in proxy form and therefore could still cast their ballots. members of council at a ratepayers' meeting set for Thursday, November 7. When asked by the press representative if he would let his name stand for re-election, Reeve gi gin Thompson said because of "so many loose ends" at vanastra, he felt he should. He has been on council for 18 years - 13 of them as reeve, Deputy reeve Ervin Sillery will seek re-election. He has been on council 13 years - 2 as deputy reeve. Councillors Cleve Coombs with nine years and Lambert 13randerhorst with four years will seek re-election, Since the resignation of Vince Fowlie in the summer there has been a vacancy on council. There will be a liquor vote in the township as well for the 2,127 voters. Because of deficiencies on open work and on tile work on the Rehorst drain, David Gerber of Gerber Drainage Enterprises, Gadshill, will put in 200 feet of tile to remedy the situation on the Martin-Pollman farm at RR 3, Seaforth. Rod Doig of Egmondville at- tended the meeting to discuss with council his 20 acre area for sub-division and the municipal requirement for 5 percent of the land to be set aside for a park. Council relented and will make an offer to Jim Etue to install water in his new house in Egmondville for $500, At the meeting two weeks ago, council had informed Mr. Etue the cost to lay a 3/4 " pipe line to his home, with installation costs included, would be $900. At that time the reeve said council might consider a 2" pipeline along a longer route to accommodate two other possible lots at a cost of $1,800 with Mr. Etue paying costs of $600. Given this information Mr, Etue had told council he would consider it. In answer to the question Tuesday as to payment of the deficit of $1,300, Ervin Sillery replied "the people of the com- munity will have to pay for it." Due to rising costs, council will double the water installation rate in Egmondville making it $400 effective imtnediately. Requests for building permits were granted to Lloyd McKenzie RR 3 Kippen, steel grain bin; John Janmaat, RR 2 Seaforth, storage shed; John Williams, RR 4 Seaforth, implement shed; Walter Armes, Egmondville, new house; and Tony DeJong, Seaforth, milk house. The clerk informed council the population of Tuckersmith as of September is 3,041 according to provincial figures. Council endorsed a resolution from Zurich which calls for the legislation to increase grants to municipalities forced to update existing community centres to meet new provincial regulations.

A large number' of parents were present to greet the teachers. Mrs. Ila Hamilton, principal, introduced the teachers in- dividually. Approximately half are new to our school this year. The teacher of the French class in grades seven and eight gave an interesting demonstration of how her subject is being taught, Mrs. Hamilton also reported on the progress of the construction of the new addition. Mrs. Gerald Lynn, president presided over a short business session, when it was planned to have a ceramics demonstration and hand made candle display as a fund raising project. The ar- ticles will be for sale at the demonstration on Monday evening November 4 at the school. The teachers then retired to their respective classrooms. Everyone was able to meet his children's teachers and observe some of the many projects and art work the children have ac- complished so far this year. I won't disclose my name at the time. I have been here in Cyprus for the last seven months. I am stationed with the First Airborne Field Regiment, Edmonton. Before enlisting in the forces I lived near Exeter. I have been receiving The Times-Advocate in British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Alberta and now here in Cyprus. It is greatly appreciated by myself and a few other companions here. We just want to say keep up the good work, and thanks to the wonderful people of Huron County. Yours truly Cyprus Voters in the village of Grand Bend can be assured of an election for the position of reeve on December 2 but identity of the candidates is not certain. Reeve Bob Sharen was definite at Monday's regular council meeting that he would try again for the post and present coun- cillor Tom Webster may also be a candidate. A week ago, former reeve John Payne said he was considering standing for re- election. Monday night, Webster said, "I have decided to run, but not sure for which position. There isn't anything personal in this, but I don't think any reeve or coun- cillor should be acclaimed." He continued, "If no one else ,runs for reeve I will oppose Bob to practice what I preach." In announcing his plans to try again for the reeve's seat, Sharen said, "We appear at this time to be heading for a year end in the best financial position in recent years." "Tax arrears, a major problem in Grand Bend in past years at 26 percent in 1972 were down to 15 percent at the end of 1973 and should be about 13 percent at the end of this year." "1974 was a better year in that we assessed and reassessed our budgets and priorities. It was decided this must be a year of stabilization, hence no major capital works." "There are many things to be accomplished in these coming years. These include sewers, promotion of the village in a positive and thoughtful way, greater cohesion between businessmen and residential ratepayers and promotion of more winter projects in con- junction with local service clubs and the Chamber of Commerce." In backing his statement to run for reeve if no other opposition comes forth, councillor Webster said, "I feel any reeve should be elected. Our present one was appointed to fill a vacancy." He continued, "I want all citizens of Grand Bend to realize I'm not for change just for the sake of change. We must control our progress by forward looking planning and not continue to live with hodge-podge development." Murray Des Jardins who has been on council for the longest of any present members said he will definitely be back for re-election.
