Times-Advocate, 1982-02-17, Page 11To hold '82 fair Ag society maintains tradition The Zurich Agricultural Society maintained its 118 year tradition by voting to hold an agricultural fair again this summer. The group c»Mducted a review of the 1981 fair and the fair budget at their an- nual meeting Wednesday. President Gerry Thiel said he was worried about atten- dance at the fair as it follow- ed the 125th anniversary celebration. He thought peo- ple may have been drained by the preceding event, but he noted fair turnout was good. Saturday gate admissions were down slightly this year, WI Valentine meet Zurich Women's Institute held their February meeting at the Blue Water Rest Home. A Valentine was pinned on each resident. The program consisted of a sing song, readings and a fashion show entitled "How to Dress and Not to Dress". Robbie and Patti Ann Dickert sang several numbers with Robbie playing guitar. Myraline Desjardine entertained with accordion music, Happy Birthday was sung to the residents having February birthdays and Happy Anniversary to Harold and Vera Thiel on their 40th anniversary. Lunch of fancy cup cakes , tea andcoffee was served. The business was held in the board room. Arrangements were made for the quilting to be on March 1. Ruby Neeb showed a scrapbook she made of Zurich's 125th birthday which will be on display at the quilting. Seventeen members an- swered the roll call with an incident• from the horse and buggy days. Meeting closed with the Lord's Prayer. The Institute will be sponsoring the next euchre party on Monday, February 22. and attendance at the Friday night dance was poor. Members suggested hav- ing a DJ play records rather than a live band at the dance. It was reported the Zurich figure skating club made a profit witha Satur- day night DJ -hosted dance. It was° noted that atten- dance at Friday night dances is usually poor and suggested the fair board . might consider holding the fair queen contest during the dance to attract more peo- ple. Attendance of competitors in the horse classes was down this year. Organizers noted that the western horse show started late .and rain chased away many of the spectators. It was suggested local horse competitions could be held during the western horse show to attract more spectators. A barn has been purchased from Exeter and when rebuilt in Zurich will provide more inside space for the animals. Thiel said he was pleased with the support the ag society received for the fair parade. Many floats were held over from the anniver- sary parade, and there were even some new floats, Thiel said. In other livestock exhibits cattle showing other than 4- H was small but sheep categories had a good tur- nout. It was reported there were too many flowers shown for the stands and chocolate chip cookies in the Domestic Science class had a good showing. Entries were reported to be about the same in the arts and crafts and ladies' work classes. There was a good turnout for the baby show as well, the only complaint being that the press photographer took baby pictures instead of attending the 4-H show. The talent show was not as 'big, but talent was thought to be superior to other years. The concession boothrun by the society did well in 1981, and two hour shifts for ,the workers eased the load. The society accepted the return of their directors for another year. 140116E AND CUTTER RIDES - Gerry Thiel, RR 2, Zurich offered rides to the kids watching the snowball tour- nament Saturday.

SATURDAY ' 8:30-6 P.M. Times -Advocate, February 17, 1412 page 11 Water rates set Water rate increases of as much as 133 percent were approved at the February Zurich council meeting Thursday. Residential water users in the village will be paying 86 more for their water in 1982. The rate increased to 890 from 084. The Out -of town customers' rate increased to 0150 from 8144. The largest increase was for the Zurich Arena. The rate increased 133 percent, jumping to 8672 from 0288 per year. The Zurich car wash and laundromat will be paying *705 in 1962, up from 8480. Rates for the public and separate schools increased to 8550 from 8480. Cost fpr water at the senior citizen's home (Spruce Villa) in- creased to 8786 from *660. The Zurich hotel will be charged 0605 this year, up from $480 in 1981. Charges to the bank and Zurich Wood Products remain the same at 8120 for the year. "There will be some unhappy (customers) no doubt,"' reeve Fred Haberer said. He noted that the water system had set a break- even budget and that the money had to be raised. Leroy Thiel pointed out that some customers had been getting away with cheap water rates. The increases will provide for an. additional $3,214 revenue for the water system. Council decided to approve the new water rates and plan to review the system's proposed budget at their next meeting. The budget submitted listed ex- penditures and debt payments totalling *51,940. Water customers will also be charged a sewer sur- charge of 85 percent of the water bill. The percentage is the same as last year. Clerk Sharon Baker said there probably wouldn't be a sewer deficit if the year was fairly dry. Haberer said the sewer rate shouldn't be changed if the village .could get by without an increase. Quimby Hess met with council to discuss the uses of a piece of land he owns in the Learning' for Lent The idea of learning something new for Lent was so enthusiastically received by Indies of the community, last year, that the second an- nual, interdenominational series has been planned to commence Ash Wednesday, February 24, at Zurieh United Church, at 9.15 a.m. Learning About Jamaica is the title of the first session when Joyce Britton, well known Jamaican soloist, will sing and discuss the music of the island. Several excellent speakers will present their expertize These include lawyer Richard Ottewell, speaking on Fami- ly Law ; Mrs. Margaret Visscher on' Women and Health; biochemist Elaine Gottschall on nutrition, and Dairy Princess Ruth Ann Zeilman qn dairy products. The concluding program.' April 7,will featureJim Hoff- matn speaking on cardiac. pulmonary resuscitation Those attending the series will have the choice of listen- ing to the lectures or learning a new craft. This year. those teaching the crafts are Mrs. Martha Weigand, bread dough art; Mrs. Ginger Weber. cake decorating; Mrs. Ruby Neeb and Miss Idella Gable, beginner crochetting; Mrs. Meda O'Brien and Mrs. Flo Murray. - advanced crochetting. 'there will also be one session for basic macrame taught by Mrs. Cathy Hayter.

There is a charge of 51.00 per session or $5.00 for the six sessions. village. The property has access to Goshen Street opposite the Lutheran Church, and runs parallel to highway 84, east behind the Home Hardware store. Hess said he was thinking of selling the property and wondered about the 44 -foot frontage on Goshen Street. The land was part of a 66 - foot frontage, a section of which was sold when a 22 foot barn was built. Hess said he thought the frontage was involved in future planning for an eastern by-pass to the high- way 84 - Goshen line in- tersection. Haberer said he was sure the section was part of a right of way and could not be built upon. Hess said with proper approvals the property could be subdivided using the Goshen frontage as an ac- cess road; or, if the town was. interested, Hess said he was willing to make a deal on the land if part of it were to be named Hess Park. "I'm available," Hess told council, "if you think Zurich will want it in the next 30 to 40 years." Hess also complained of snowmobiles trespassing on the property and damaging small trees planted there. Haberer said snowmobiles were not supposed to be on private property without the owner's permission. Council may place an advertisement in the newspaper reminding 'snowmobile riders of their responsibilities. George Watson was selected from five applicants to be the new building in- spector. Watson's letter, read at the council meeting, said he would do the job for 87 per permit issued and 810 per- inspection. The village currently pays 06 per permit and 512 per permit. In other business: The village will run an advertisement for 1982 dog tags. Prices will be $4 for the first male -or spayed female; 88 for the second male or spayed female; and 88 for the first female and 812, for the second. A third dog tag will cost 850. The rates will be doubled if 1982 tags are for '82 not picked up before May 15. It was reported to council that there were 7 dacancies in the Spruce Villa apart- ments. Baker said there were 21 vacancies in similar Huron County housing, one third of them being in Zurich. The village will place a 050 ad in a brochure being prepared to welcome hockey teams to the village for the old timer's hockey tour- nament in March. Council accepted the 1982 budget of the Zurich and area fire board. Zurich's share of the 819,540 budget is 83,267. Baker • said the village would be paying more to the fire department to help pay for the radio -paging system, but that the board was keeping a tight control on other budget items.
