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.

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

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.
