Two women jailed
on assault charge
Two London women were
given jail sentences for their
recent attack on a Lucan
man.
Penelope Sue Emery, 19,
and Adele Nicoletti, 17, plead-
ed guilty in London court to
assaulting Douglas McLeod,
39, of 189 Frank St. Emery
was given a sentence of one
month and Nicoletti was
handed a term of four
months.
Assistant Crown Attorney
John Sutherland said Emery
had been temporarily staying
in McLeod's home and the
two had a "disagreement of
some sort" three days before
the assault May 16 in the
parking lot of Medway High
School in Arva. -
She and McLeod were
drinking and driving May 16
when they picked up a friend
of Emery's, Adele Nicoletti.
Nicoletti has three prior
assault convictions.
The trio disagreed about
"where they were going to
go" in the car, Sutherland
said, and McLeod, who works
in Exeter, refused to lend
them the money they
requested.
Emery then drove into the
Medway parking lot and
McLeod took the car keys
from her and refused to
return them, the prosecutor
told provincial Ja E.H.A.
Carson. She threatened to
beat him. The women grabb-
ed McLeod and "began pun-
ching him in the head"
Sutherland said.
The two dragged McLeod -
who has a brace on his leg -
from the car and kicked him
in the head while he was on
the ground, the prosecutor
said. They pulled down
McLeod's trousers and turn-
ed his pockets out, although
nothing was stolen, court
learned. The women fled
when school custodians came
out.
Defence lawyer Scott Mer-
rifield said Emery had a "tur-
bulent adolescence" and
within two years went
through 18 placements involv-
ing group and foster homes
and her family home.
Carson said while Emery's
co -accused received a four=
month penalty, she had a
lengthy criminal record in-
cluding multiple assault con-
victions. Emery, he noted,
has one' prior conviction for
possessing a narcotic. The
judge also ordered a one-year
term of probation.

leader David Peterson to in-
vestigate ways. Ontario's
rural municipalities can ad-
dress current socio -economy
difficulties.
Questions to be addressed:
• How can we keep skilled
labour in the small towns?
plow can we make appren-
ticeship and manpower train-
ing programs more suitable
to the smaller industrial
facility?
• How can we improve the
revenue picture for small
municipalities? How can we
reverse the erosion of
municipal government
autonomy?
• We need improved
transportation between rural
communities. How can we
develop more effective and
viable links between smaller
centres?
• We need a workable
policy on the locating of in-
dustrial facilities. How can
srnaller municipalities be
assisted to more effectively
compete for jobs and
investment?
• Rural municipalities need
a stronger voice in govern-
ment. How can we strength( n
their political clout?

Huron Farm and Home news
Be careful with pesticides
If you plan on using ditch,
creek or pond water as a car-
rier in your pesticide applica-
tions you should know that
Ontario law requires a back-
flow device (foot valve) to be
installed on the intake hose.
Failure to install this valve
could cause part of your tank
mix to be back siphoned into
the water source after the
pump is turned off.
The result could be
devastating for farmers ir-
rigating or spraying sensitive
crops downstream. Adopting
the same logic as in the above
situation it is legally and en-
vironmentally unacceptable
to wash pesticide application
equipment in any surface
water -(stream, ditch, pond,
etc.).
Disposal and decontamina-
tion of empty pesticide con-
tainerst m.
is a w ys rob
According 6 to p;recent
Agriculture Canada`tesfs, an
easy way to remove 99 per-
cent of remaining pesticide
residues in "empty" con-
tainers is to triple rinse them
using a 10 percent volume of
water each time. Rinse water
should then be added to the
spray tanks.
Once rinsed, all pesticide
containers must be made
unusuable through punctur-
ing or breaking arid then
. stored in a restricted area un-
•
til they can be taken to an ap-
proved landfill site for burial.
Paper or/ cardboard con-
tainers may be burned pro-
vided humans or animals are
not exposed to the smoke.
Many thousands of dollars
are paid each year in yield
loss compensation following
the accidental drift of her-
bicides from the target area
onto adjacent sensitive crops.
Spray drift can be reduced by
taking into consideration such
factors as -wind speed, spray
droplet size ( involving nozzle
size and pressure) and height
of boom. When applying pro-
ducts containing dicamba
(eg. Kil-mor and Banvel) do
not spray near sensitive crops
(eg. soybeans, rutabagas)
when temperatures exceed 25
degrees C.
Problems involving any of
the above matters can be
dise sed with your local

thinking on the long term
direction of the red meat sec-
tor in Ontario.
In order to more properly

Rewiring costs extra
ag in dual energy program
PUC man:: ' lugh Davis
informed the May meeting of .
the commission that the dual
energy program to add
plenum heaters to suitable
furnaces had hit an • unex-
pected snag.
A meeting in the Clinton of-
fice of area PUC employees
and contractors was told that
if any of the furnaces have
unapproved types of 60 amp
service, the wiring would
have to be brought up to ac-
ceptable standards, and the
cost would not to included in
the contract package.
"Usually there are a few
hitches on any new program.
If this means better and safer
installation for our customers
well and good. Too bad it
wasn't worked out earlier",
Davis commented, adding
that another change has been
made, and now Ontario Ilydro
and the utility will split the
sum of $200 towards the cost
of conversion 50-50 instead of
the previous one-third, two-
thirds division.
Work to install a 12 -inch
main on William Street will
begin July 4, and is expected
to take three weeks. The west,
side of the street, already
hosting a gas line, three
telephone lines and an eight
inch water main to Canadian
Canners has been chosen.
The other side has storm and
sanitary sewers, a domestic
water line, and is slated for a
proposed duct system for Bell
Canada.
The price of the pipe is the
sante as three years ago; the
company is overstocked. The
new provincial sales tax will
offset, that saving.
The lower of two tenders,
submitted by Triebner Elec-
tric, was accepted to remove

Three charged
in breakins
Three London men face
charges after being arrested
by Exeter OPP who were in-
vestigating area breakins this
week.
Tuckey Beverages at
Huron Park was entered on
Thursday and one man has
been arrested in connection
with that incident. Nothing
was reported missing.
Four residences in the
Cedar Banks subdivision in
Hay Township were entered
on Wednesday and items
valued at $1,500 were stolen.
Two men were subsequent-
ly arrested and most of the
items were recovered.
pumphouse and install a new
one. The PUC is supplying the
heating units, which Davis
managed to buy wholesale.
The PUC will continue to
bank with the Bank of Mon-
treal. After examining all
submissions,Davis told the
commissioners "we can
justify this decision...it is
financially more beneficial to
the commission to accept the
Bank of Montreal's terms."
Flow testing of all hydrants
has been completed, and col-
our coding of the bonnets will
begin as soon as time is
available. Only six of the
town's 117 hydrants were
ranked in the lower' category.
PUC employees have begun
draining the Morrison Dam
this week so stop logs can be
put in place. In the annual
spring ritual, two men are
lowered over the spillway to
drop steel bars into special
holes to hold boards that add
an additional five million
gallons of storage capacity
to the regular 50 million, in
preparation for customers re-
quiring large -amounts of
water. At the same time the
PUC will work with the
Ausable-Bayfield Conserva-
tion Authority to poison the
weeds while the flow is
reduced.
The Exeter PUC was com-
mended by the Electric
Utilities Safety Association
for 13 accident -free years in
• the hydro department.
The Commission asked
secretary Marilyn Sillery to
draft a letter to the Exeter
BIA passing on their
dissatisfaction in dealings
with the contractors who built
and landscaped the adjoining
parkette. Davis had advised
the contractor in 198() that one
of the three large trees look-
ed very unhealthy, and was
assured it would be replaced
if it died.
When the tree was pro-
nounced dead, it was replac-
ed by what Davis referred to
as a twig. The PUC manager
wrote the company, giving
the height and circumference
at a given distance from the
ground of the two original
trees. That was over a year
ago, and the contractor has
not kept his promise to return
and personally examine tit..
situation.
"I find it upsetting that a
company would deal with the
town in this fashion", Davis
concluded. He wanted the in-
formation passed on so the
BIA would make sure that
particular company never got
another job in Exeter.

Wait on eye -sore petition
Exeter's public works com-
mitter agreed. .londay, to
• wait a week before taking ady
action on a petition from
-residents in the north-east
'section of town regarding an
"eye -sore.. in their
neighborhood..
The petition from citizens
bounding :Andrew St. N.,
George .St.. Devon I )rive and
and Alexander St. E. com-
plained that properly owned
by Len Veri adjoining or in-
the
nthe immediate view and
vicinity of their properties "is
in a state of neglect and an
eye -sore to the entire
neighPurhood." •
The petition noted that "the
grass and weeds on said pro-
perty as well as the mounds of
earth allowed •to remain
therein on these vacant ser-
viced residential building lots
are not only a detriment to the
value of property adjacent
but the ruts and mounds aro
an enticement to the mos-
quitos who enjoy the soggy
hollows for breeding grounds.
Parents of small children
must be constantly on watch
in the event their youngsters
should wander to the area for
fear of accidents due to debris
left by the contractor."
Wally Tomasik, who ap
peared with a delegation of
three at Monday's committee
meeting, said there had been
some effort to clean up the
property on Saturday.
A copy of /he petition had
been sent to Veri.
Mayor Bruce Shaw sug-
gested that it would appear
fair to delay action for a week
to see if the cleanup continues
and the delegation agreed
with that suggestion.
The matter will be updated
at council's regular session
this week.
