T -A photo Proceed with water test — Continued from front page owners who feel their _ water supply has been affected may file an objection with the ministry and the situation will be in- vestigated. In fact, • the ministry's in- volvement commenced as a result of a complaint from one farmer who felt his well had been affected by a test that was con- ducted by International Water Supply earlier. Goff indicated the ministry officials were getting some embarrassing political questions regarding the situation and were doing their utmost to get the answers. He said that stream flow of the river near the test hole would also be monitored. "We hope everyone thinks we're impartial," Goff em- phasized. "We try to be." Usborne Councillor Murray Dawson who owns a farm a mile and a quarter from the proposed test site, suggested wells in the area would be lowered by a new well. He wondered if he would be affected in 10 or 15 years. Goff replied this was most unlikely because the water would be lowered ina cone fashion that 'reaches a static condition and remains there. He said this cone could have a weird shape and a well 1,000 feet away in direction may be af- fected, while a well 1,000 feet in another direction may not. He suggested that for peace of mind, Exeter should consider a couple of observation wells to watch the levels of the water and to oversee the progression of the cone and its growth. Exeter Mayor Bruce Shaw asked if the proposed well could in fact leave the farm land totally unaffected. Goff said this was the case. He explained that while London had overtaxed their wells, this supply was separate from the water table required for agricultural use and the latter had not been affected. "Probably the same thing applies in Usborne," he said. E. Czarnecki, manager of the technical support section, said the ministry considered the Usborne water test "priority issue." He said all the equipment available would be used to monitor the test and suggested that once the test pumping had been conducted the same parties gather again at a meeting so they could hold a frank discussion on the results obtained from all sources. Ile 'said this was the best method to get all the answers relayed to those involved. Goff noted that the proposed test may be delayed if the wet weather continued, because it would be difficult to monitor the stream flow if it was at a high level. He said the ministry would try to have the test under "optimum conditions." The meeting then held a brief .discussion on Exeter getting water from the Lake Huron Pinery police report collisions Two minor accidents were investigated by the Pinery Park detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police from June 1 to June 7. On June 1, a vehicle driven by Peter C. Shane of Cambridge left the roadway in the Pinery and struck a tree. There were no injuries and damage was estimated at 8250. On June 7, Cecilia V. Thibeault of Hamilton was the driver of a car which left the roadway in the park and struck a tree. Damage was set at 8300. There were no injuries. Eight thefts were reported to the detachment with 8570 in goods • $ 1 O O being stolen. A total of 29 occurrences were investigated with five charges laid under the Liquor Control Act LOAVES and nine charges laid under the Highway Traffic Act. pipeline, with Steve Burns reporting the cost would be three times as high as using Usborne sources Noting the S52.50 now paid by Exeter customers, 13111 Morley suggested they could well afford to pay much more. "You're giving water away," he claimed. Councillor Murray Dawson suggested the cost would he reduced if Exeter joined in with Stephen to bring a pipeline to supply Dashwood as well. However, Burns said this would only reduce the 51,186,000 figure by about 550.000 as Dashwood's needs were so small in com- parison to Exeter's. The PUC added that going to the lake would delay additional water from three to five years and this could jeopardize the supply for existing customers. In additionthe increased rates could prompt major users to decide it was too expensive to continue operation in Exeter. In concluding the meeting, Mr. Pooley said the PUC felt it was good business to get water from Usborne because it was better water and was also much more economical. He said he was satisfied that while relations between Exeter and Usborne appeared strained over the current debate this was only in the minds of a few people. His concluding remark noted that Usborne council may still have the final say in whether Exeter gets more water from the township. He said permission would be required from Usborne to bring a pipeline along township roads from any well site. RAP cuts budget — Continued from front page debate that some cuts should be made in the arena operation. "We don't need as many part- time staff," he contended, adding _there were too many "dead hours" at the arena. He suggested no staff was required from 8:00 a.m. to noon. Boyle said he goes to the areena "day after day" and claimed no one was doing anything but sitting. However no cut-backs were made in this department. McKinlay argued the help was needed to maintain the present work schedule and to keep the ice in good shape in view of the heaving that takes place on the floor beneath it. In other business. RAP: Accepted an offer from the Exeter Legion for 700 tulip bulbs to be planted in the local park system. Approved erecting a hack -stop for the ball diamond at Queen's Park at the north end of Exeter. Two of the posts required are still there, but a third was torn down about three years ago when someone hooked onto it with a truck on Halloween. "Anything can happen in Francistown," commented Gord Baynham. Decided to concur with a request from the Exeter Royals fastball team to remove the pitching mound from the local ball diamond. No hardball teams are using the facility this summer and the mound is not required. Learned that attendance has been averaging around 115 for the first three nights of roller skating at the arena However only 30 adults showed up for the adult skate, Sunday. The latter program may have to be dropped unless more attend. RAP members were also told that some parents have asked to have skating extended into either Friday or Saturday night as they prefer their youngsters to skate in Exeter rather than going to Grand Bend. Decided to ask council to im- plement the one-way traffic pattern through Riverview Park as soon as possible. Approved a request of a 850 grant for the wrestling club to send two members to an in- structional course in London. Boyle and Zyluk opposed the move on the basis it would be a dangerous precedent and would be followed by similar requests from other minor groups. It has been explained earlier that the 850 was actually the fee charged the club for use of the arena for their stag. It had previously been agreed by RAP that no charge would be made in an effort to help the club in their formation. Learned from Reeve Derry Boyle that the duplicating machine at the town offices would be moved to the rec office. Ile said this would be better than buying a second machine. McKinlay advised him that using the present equipment was "time wasted"because it did not operate properly. However, Boyle replied that the other town employees using the machine found it satisfactory. TIm.s-Advocot., Jun. 12, 1975 Page a Four letter word is obscene: Judge marijuana valued at found by police, A -B Authority tour watershed What constitutes obscene language in these times? That was a question asked by defence counsel Jim Donnelly when he appeared in Exeter court, Tuesday on behalf of three men charged with creating a disturbance in a public place. Judge Glenn Hays replied that In Zurich (where the offence took place) and in other small towns in this area any four letter words are obscene. The charges were aginst Donald William McIlwain, Bayfield; Patrick Wayne Burns, Zurich; and Paul S. Schilbe, RR 3 Bayfield. Each pleaded guilty to the charge and each was fined 8100. The court learned that several youths were involved hi the in- cident and Mr. Donnelly noted that the three charged had done no more wrong than the others. The incident took place on December 14 and involved eight youths and five policemen. It was reported that the latter had a difficult time controlling the youths who were shouting and using obscene language. Charges of assaulting a police officer were dropped against two of the people involved in the in- cident. In other fines levied by Judge Hays and Justice of the Peace Douglas Wedlake: Michael P. Jeffrey, RR 2 Zurich, paid 853 for having liquor while under the legal age. Barry T. Newman, London, 872 for a speed of 53 in a 30 zone. Barry Thiel, Exeter, 875 for possession of a restricted drug. He was charged on April 26 when District teachers attend convention About 200 presidents and executive of the WomenTeachers' Associations that make up the 31,000 member Federation of Women Teachers' Associations of Ontario met at the Westbury Hotel in Toronto, June 6 and 7. A major theme of the Presidents' Conference was discussion of the proposed Provincial Collective Bargaining Legislation that will give teachers the right to strike. The conference is largely a training conference for next year's presidents. It also featured discussion of professional development and the status of women. Attending from this area were Irene Haugh, Crediton, president of Huron Federation; Margaret Brown, Parkhill, president of the South Huron Unit and Lucan; Pam Knoblauch, vice-president, West Unit, Middlesex County. Nomads attend Ridgetown event Five camping families of the Ausable River Nomads of Exeter and district attended the tenth annual Western Ontario Camp Out of NCHA at Ridgetown. Although the weather was poor, approximately 300 trailers arrived from Ontario and the United States. A weekend of horseshoes, saddle club shows, parades, roller skating, a tour of the RCAT college, dancing and church kept everyone busy. Jim Bennett, chaplain of the NCHA Michigan Club, led the church service and Elly McKean, a travelling Sunday School teacher, presented engraved Bibles to Joan, Nancy and Douglas Cooper. The Bibles were prizes from a poster contest held at last years camp -out. Out of the 150 children participating in the contest, these children received three of the four Bibles presen- ted. The Ausable River Nomad Club now has a membership of 27 camping families. • 85.00 was Members of the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority spent most of Tuesday on a bus tour of a major portion of its 1,000 square mile watershed. The tour was arranged to in- form representatives of the authority's expanding public parks project and included several proposed and recent land acquisitions. One major stop during the 130 mile tour was at the Clinton conservation area where the authority was planning on pur- chasing another five acres of land. Later in the day during a business meeting at authority headquarters in Exeter, the property along Highway 8, southeast of Clinton was ap- proved for purchase. The price for the property purchased from George W. Cutler was 810,000. The authority also agreed to continue negotations to acquire a second parcel of land in the same area which would expand picnic and recreational facilities on the south side of the Bayfield River off Highway 4. Resources manager Roger Martin said the Clinton con- servation area could conceivably be expanded in the near future with additional land purchases. Authority members were shown a 550 acre recent acquisition to the east of the Parkhill reservoir which the authority purchased from the Kime family of London for 8190,000. Also, Tuesday, members learned that a recent attempt to acquire a 46 acre tract along the Ausable River east of Arkona had "fallen through". The property in West Williams township which is owned by United States citizens would have added a house, part of an old grist mill and about 26 acres of valley land to ABCA ownership. A recent offer by the authority of $40,000 was returned by real estate agents for the owners with a note that the price had risen from an original 8100,000 to 8400,000. Authority chairman Elgin Thompson of Tuckersmith said the price is "unrealistic." Three injured in area collision Only two accidents were in- vestigated by the Exeter OPP this week, but in one of them, three people sustained minor injuries. That occurred at 2:00 p.m., Sunday, when a car driven by Francis E. Allen, RR 2 Staffa, went out of control on County Road 11 north of Highway 83. The vehicle skidded into the ditch and rolled over. The driver and two other 16 - year -olds with him, all sustained cuts and bruises. They were Richard Elliott. RR 1 Dublin, and Robert Harburn, RR 2 Staffa. Constable Jim Rogers in• vestigated and listed property damage at 81,000. The other accident was reported at 5:00 p.m. on Monday when vehicles driven by Gregory Campbell and Alina Berr, both of Hensall, collided on King St. in the village. There were no injuries and damage was set at 8175 by Constable Dale Iamont. During the week the local detachment officers charged 43 people under the Highway Traffic Act and issued warnings to another 52. There were nine charges under the Criminal Code and 10 under the Liquor Control Act.
