Times-Advocate, 1979-05-09, Page 2Page 2 Times-Advocate, May 9,1979 Says curfew unfair to majority of kids While members of council questioned such things as the need for curfews to com­ bat the recent wave of van­ dalism in Exeter, Police Chief Ted Day advised them this week that the biggest need is for more public assistance. “A lot of people see these youths hanging around and don’t call us,” Day said, noting that in many cases, if groups of youths are milling around ‘‘there’s bound to be something going on”. The Chief advised council that the police know who the perpetrators are “and they’ll get caught sooner or later” if they continue their antics. The need for a curfew was questioned by Mayor Derry Boyle, who asked it it would be of any value to the police. Day replied that 98 per­ cent of the local young peo­ ple cause no problems and it would be unfair to “take it out on them” by enforcing a curfew to limit the activities of the other two percent. However, he said a town bylaw giving police the authority to break up groups of three or more people may be of some advantage and would be better than enfor- Almatex Paint SPRING SALE May 3 - 26 EXETER DECOR CENTRE 15 Gidiey St. E. 235-1010 cing current regulations which could result in loiterers having a criminal record. Reeve Si Simmons facetiously suggested the problem of youths wander­ ing the streets at night could be solved by making it man­ datory for all girls to be off the streets by 9:00 p.m. Councillor Lossy Fuller hoped that the news stories of the vandalism would cause parents to be more aware of what their children were doing, but Mayor Derry Boyle replied that most of the parents of the young people involved don’t appear to care where their kids are. Statistics outlined by Chief Day for the month of April were as follows: 14 ac­ cidents with damages of $5,- 985, 15 charges and 15 war­ nings under the Highway Traffic Act, three bike riders cautioned, 13 parking tickets issued, 11 charges under the Liquor Licence Act, one theft of over $200 with one charge laid in the incident where loot was over $4,000,14 thefts of under $200 each in which $626.26 was stolen and $160 recovered, five animal complaints, 14 cases of wilful damage with the amount of damage being $615, one break and enter with loot of $100, three cases of disturbing the peace, five trespass incidents,four mis­ chief and one seizure under the Narcotics Control Act. Industry Continued from front page were industrial sites available. “If you don’t let people know there are industrial sites available, they won’t stop and enquire,” Cum­ mings said in his letter. Simmons said that such a sign wouldn’t do any good at the present because the town doesn’t control any in­ dustrial land and don’t have any prices to show developers what it would cost to develop privately- owned industrial land.

Campaign chairman Carfrey Cann says that $12,500 has already been collected and he expects the total to exceed $13,000 when money from the door-to-door campaigns in two last areas - Huron Park and Hay township-comes in. Included in this total is $1,433.34 from all chapters of the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority. The money was raised by selling fresh daffodils. The sorority also raised money by looking after the donation boxes where people could pick up the plastic daffodils in Exeter shops and businesses. About $208.00 came from the box donations. The fashion show held recently at the South Huron rec centre returned a net Seek more daylight at cemetery corner profit of $3,400.00 for the Huron County unit of the Cancer Society, Cann estimates that when this amount is divided between the various branches, it should bring the local total up to the $14,000 mark. “It’s been a wonderful campaign, the best ever,” Cann says. Last year’s total came to $12,673.00. The Cancer Society is planning two money raising events during the next year. It is hoped that CBC sport­ scaster Fred Scambatti will sponsor a golf tournament late this summer. Scambatti is the past chairman of the national Cancer Society. A cross-county, ski event is being planned for the winter. Grand Bend council decided Monday night that sewer connection valves will be installed on all vacant lots in the village. Council voted in favor of the recom­ mendation from the sewer liaison committee after much discussion. Only councillor Harold Green voted against the motion. At first, it was considered that only those vacant lots on Highways 21, 83 and Main Street would have to have sewer connections. It will cost the owners of the vacant lots about $350 for the con­ nections but council feels that this will save money in the long run, if connections had to be installed later, Council also decided to authorize the engineer to designate the location of the sewer valve on lots where a registered letter has been sent to the owner and no reply received. Two instances of conflict of interest were declared Monday night when Reeve Bob Sharen and Councillor Bill Baird took seats at the back of the room. Councillor Keith Crawford asked who had given per­ mission for the sewer con­ struction workers to store equipment on the Ausable lot on Woodward Avenue. According to Crawford “It looks like hell, and it con­ travenes the zoning by-law.” “Cottage owners sure as hell won’t like it,” Crawford continued. The lot is owned by a group of Grand Bend businessmen of which Sharen and Baird are members. Uniac, Crawford and Green agreed that council had approved another lot for heavy equipment, but not this one. After Sharen had disassociated himself from council, Crawford asked him if the construction company had permission to use the lot. “They had it in there before they got permission,” Sharen replied. “It’s for the general good of the public to have it off the roads,” Sharen continued. Councillors Crawford and Green asked clerk Louise Clipperton to write a letter to Ausable Holdings Ltd. and advise them that using the lot for storage is in con­ travention of zoning by-laws. In other business, a delegation from the Ontario Fire Marshal talked to council in an “in camera” session. Bob Simpson came from the Chamber of Commerce to ask council about putting litter barrels on some side streets. He was told that council had tried it one year, but the barrels were kicked all over. Crawford said he would rather pick up a few pieces of litter, than a whole barrel. Simpson also asked on behalf of the Chamber for council’s permission to erect flags on the hydro poles along Main street for Canada Day. Green asked what flags the Chamber was going to fly, and Simpson replied that they would put up the red maple leaf. Sharen pointed out that Grand Bend survives on American dollars, and that Canada Day is close to Independence Day. “I think we insult the Yanks enough,” Sharen said. He suggested American flags be used as well. Council approved of the flags, and told Simpson to approach the Public Utilities Commission. A letter was received from the Lambton County Board of Education saying that they would attend the June 4 council meeting. As yet, no reply has come from Huron County Board of Education. Council had invited both boards to discuss the feasibility of taking some children from Stephen Central School into Grand Bend Public School. No settlement was reached with regards to the fee charged to Bosanquet township for the use of Grand Bend’s waste site. Councillor Bill Baird con­ tacted Bill Kingdon of Bosanquet township council, but no decision was made. Appeal Continued from front page representative Al Seymour said the union, which is paying the legal bills for those charged in Fleck- related incidents, will ask MacLean to appeal Pickering’s case again, this time to the Ontario supreme court. MacLean said he plans to request a bail hearing pending a further appeal. Meanwhile, Pickering is serving his sentence at the Kitchener-Waterloo deten­ tion centre on a temporary absence program which allows him to keep his job and return to custody during non-working hours.

Receiving approval were Glen Hayter of RR 1, Zurich for $23,000 and George Harvey of Lake Road west in the amount of $20,000. Grant Jones of Lot 28, Concession two was issued a drain tileage loan in, the amount of $8,400. The township has made a request to the ministry of transportation and com­ munications for the corner of Concession 2 and Highway 4 near the Exeter cemetery to be “daylighted”. Clerk­ treasurer Joan Ducharme said the corner as it present­ ly stands, presents visual handicaps for cars entering the highway off of the con­ cession road. She said if the MTC agrees that the corner is dangerous they will per­ form the work needed. Council gave their support the bill introduced by Scarborough-Ellsmere MPP David Warner that calls for the maintenance of safe con- ditions or the prompt recalmation of all in­ operative pits or quaries. In other business, council: Referred the report on the Koehler drain back to the township’s engineers. Made a grant to the National Farmers Union. Made application to the ministry of housing for the Ontario Home Renewal Home Program totalling $40,000. Granted an application of severance to William Wat­ son at Concession 10, Lot 10. Denied an application of severance from Mary Alex­ ander at Concession three, Lot 28. Parking Continued from front page dicated the town had set aside $10,000 to $11,000 for the project this year. Councillor Jay Campbell said the project could also fall through if the tardiness of the owners jeopardized the opportunity to purchase a vacant, lot behind G&G Discount that is needed for access to the proposed park­ ing area. “There’s some feet dragg­ ing here,” Campbell said. “Not by us,” Mayor Boyle quickly replied and Campbell agreed. Councillor Lossy Fuller said the lack of action may indicate the merchants aren’t interested in having parking, but Councillor Ted Wright refuted that sugges­ tion. Council will write BIA chairman Bob Swartman ad­ vising him of the deadline for getting the easements. Rick Haveling has returned to Fort Frances after spending a week with his mother Edith Haigh.
