On Tuesday Aug. 12 the kids had a bike rodeo at the park with OPP Cor- poral Dave Woodward attending from Exeter. As this week is "Safety Week" on Wednesday everyone visited the firehall in Zurich. Friday was "Dress -up day" and everyone dressed as their future career. They also went to O'Connor's Ambulance Service that day.

Arena manager resigns Establish paving Zurich council Thursday night established a policy concerning ratepayers wishing to install paving stones on village property. The policy establishes that any ratepayer wishing to pave or install paving stones on village property at the end of their driveways must ob- tain permission from the village road superintendent. The property owner is also repon- sible for repairs and maintenance if it is essential for village staff to do any repairs under such paving or pav- ing stones or damage by snow removal. Al Scott of the Ministry of Environ- ment attended the meeting to answer some questions regarding sewer pro- blems in the village. Scott said he thought a lot of runoff rain water was getting into the sewer system. He added, "Only floor drains are allowed to drain. Just because we have heavy rains, the system shouldn't back up." In answer to a question from coun- cillor Herb Turkheim regarding runoff from the lagoon, Scott said, "That is done twice a year with about 9.9 million gallons discharged each time. Getting back to the village problem of extra water getting into the system, Scott said, "I think the village can handle checking into where this water is coming from. The sewer system is not overloaded because of the number of people hooked on, but from extra water probably from roofs and gut- ters. In February of 1985, the flows in- creased by ten -fold." Councillor Ray McKinnon comm- mented that the system was design- ed for 1,500 people and should have lots of capacity Ieft.He then asked if village employees could use dye tests to determine where the water was coming from. Scott's answer was, "Yes and you could also use smoke tests." Council decided to take Scott's ad- vice on clearing up the problem and will be asking the county of Huron plumbing inspector for assistance. Scott also advised that 2,500 feet of fencing around the 'sewer lagoon needed replacing and suggested the village undertake the job saying, "You can do it cheaper." Council instructed clerk Sharon Baker to get copies of transient trader and property standard bylaws from other area communities before any local action is taken. On property standards, councillor McKinnon said, "I would be concern- ed with over zealous committee members. Reeve Bob Fisher added, "We need to have a property stan- dards bylaw in order to qualify for ONIP grants." Similarily, the clerk was asked to check in to the building bylaw to learn if building permits are required for re -roofing of existing structures. Clerk Baker was given permission to attend a municipal finance con- ference in London from September 24 to 26. Reeve Bob Fisher told council that a recent meeting on the proposed Zurich municipal drain cleanout was handled properly. Engineer Don Pletch will be instructed to go ahead with a report. Fisher added, "The cleanout won't happen this year. Con- tracts could be let by next March." A letter was read from Mervyn Erb of the Zurich Mennonite Church lodg- ing a complaint of activities of the re- cent Zurich fall fair Sunday morning while church services were underway.' The monthly report from animal control officer Don Groot indicated one animal had been apprehended during the month of July. Minutes of the hydro and water system revealed discussion of a special bulletin from the Municipal Electric Association concerning drastic changes in costs of liability insurance. Consideration is being taken in some form of self insuring pool which seems practical with promise of im- proved coverage, greater flexibility and lower premiums. The latest minutes from the recrea- tion, parks and community centre board included acceptance with regret of arena manager Gerry Rader after 11 years in that position. Advertisements for a successor are being placed in the London Free Press, Zurich Advance and Exeter Times Advocate for a replacement with duties to commence September 29.
