Times-Advocate, 1983-10-19, Page 3Brandi promises to study Hay water line request
Hay township reeve Lionel
Wilder informed the regular
mid-October meeting of coun-
cil that he had spoken twice
with provincial environment
minister Andy Brandt since
the last regular meeting. The
delegation that travelled to
Queen's Park to ask for
assistance for a new water
system along Highway 21 was
favourably received. Wilder
said, and the minister promis-
ed to study the matter.
Brandt was one of the guest
speakers at the Association of
Countil-s and Regions conven-
tion in Sarnia this week at-
tended by the executive com-
mittee of Huron County. He
told the county represen-
tatives urban environmental
projects are about 90 percent
completed, and government
priorities are now turning to
the smaller municipalities.
He also preached restraint.
Wilder said Brandt em-
phasized the importance of
waste management, saying
only the tip of the iceberg has
appeared, and that clean-ups,
however costly, must take
place in the '80s.
Wilder reported on the
meeting on September 27 in
Crediton when represen-
tatives of Usborne, Hay,
McGillivray, Exeter and Hen-
sall discussed joint use of
future landfill sites. A cost
study was proposed, and let-
ters were sent to Bosanquet,
Biddulph, Grand Bend, and
Zurich councils. Hay council
agreed to participate in the
study, and appointed Deputy -
Reeve Tony Bedard and
Councillor Claire Deichert to
represent Hay on a joint land-
fill site committee.
Clerk Joan Ducharme was
asked to send a letter to
Zurich, joint users with Hay
in a township landfill site, to
inform them of Hay's action.
The two men will also at-
tend a waste disposal seminar

The organization began in
1978 as a service project of Xi
Gamma \u chapter of Beta
Sigma Phi Sorority. The
Sorority's stated goal of nur-
turing the program to maturi-
ty and then turning over a
thriving organization to the
parents has hcen attained.
This is the last vear of Sorori-
ty sponsorship. though liaison
will be maintained with the
Block Parent executive. Xi
Gamma gave the Association
a grant of $200 this year.

sent enrolment. but Associa-

sacs more Block Parents are
needed Some streets have no
designated houses at all.
Anyone can be a block
parent. 'l'he only stipulation is
that the householder must be
home when the sign is in the
window.
Mrs. Miron, visited
Precious Blood School on
Monday, accompanied by Ex-
eter constable George
Robertson I who had sacrific-
ed part of his day off to fill in
when Sgt. Kevin Short could
not attend as first planned I.
The students were shown a
film entitled Safe Strangers,
and then their visitors talked
about the Block Parent
program. -
The film was screened for
adults at Exeter Public
School on Monday evening,
and Mrs Miron and Sgt. Short
are scheduled to visit Exeter
Public school later this week.
Children are told to only
knock on the door of a Block
Parent in an emergency. and
not for frivolous reasons like
wanting to use the bathroom.
Mrs. Miron would like to
have a Block Parent on each
street.

Don Munn was present dur-
ing reading of the Munn-
Mousseau municipal drain

been received, the report was
in Kitchener on October 26.

and third reading to by-laws

official the increase in penal-
ty to a maximum of 82,000 for
anyone convicted of fouling

Munn does not want the soil
bank leveled.

special meeting for court of

Reeve Wilder said Keith
Horner's severance .,pplica-
tion will be dealt with at coun-
ty council this Thursday.
Horner has had no objection
from any of the neighbouring
property owners he has ap-
proached. Wilder quoted chief
county planner Gary David-
son as saying approval will be
at the discretion of the plann-
ing and development commit-
tee, as the property is so close
to the buffer zone.

which attracts gulls should be
reduced by the provision of
garbage containers at public
beaches.
Ways to reduce the gull
population may need to be
studied because flocks of gulls
were observed on the water
and the beaches during the
time the public was not
swimming.
Septic tank systems at
shoreline homes should be in-
spected periodically."
')uring Monday's regular
meeting, council took steps to
identify and eliminate any
pollution problems which
may exist within the village
limits.
They decided to acquire the
services of John Clarke to),'
carry out a dye testing pro-
gram to ascertain if and
where any waste materials
are reaching the storm drains

and eventually the river.
At the same time the
townships. of Bosanquet and
Stephen will he asekd to carry
out similar testing programs
or join in on the Grand Bend
project.
In suggesting the townships
should become involved in
testing for pollution problems;
councillor Murray Desjardine
said, "We certain!: should
take the lead, - but, not
necessary for us to dt, all the
housekeeping."
Clerk Diane ' Mollard's
report included a call from
Canada Agricultural person-
nel who conducted the recent
rabies clinic in Grand Bend.
They felt information from
the clinic should not be used
for municipal purposes as it
will discourage pet owners
from bringing their animals
to the clinics in the future.
Councillor Desjardins at-
tended the clinic and was
recording the names of Grand
Bend property owners who
were having their- animals
immunized.
A grant of $100 was approv-
ed to the Lambton Associa-
tion for the Mentally Han-
dicapped. While he was in
favour of the grant councillor
Desjardins said because of
geographical location, Grand
Bend residents were on the
board of directors of the South
Huron association and very
interested and helpful in
operation of AR(' Industries
at Dashwood.
Reeve 1101) Sharen com-
mented that both groups
worked together and
residents of both counties
were involved at Dashwood.
The Lambton Association is
in need of $50,000 in donations
and will be having a special
door-to-door and newspaper
appeal in November. The
organization operates group
homes in Thedford and
Forest.
About 40 properties in the
village have not yet com-
pleted their sever hookups.
Registered letters will be sent
to the affected owners this
week. If they do not hookup
within 30 days, the village will
call tenders to have the woi x
completed.
Clerk Mollard told coun-
cillors that those not con-
nected had already had nine
months notice.
John Clarke said the
average hookup charges
would probably range from
8800 to 81,000. He added, "In-
side plumbing in some in-
stances has to be brought up
to standards."
Council discussed a number
of complaints from Amerit'an
tourists this summer about
the variety of discounts allow-
ed by Grand Bend merchants
on U.S. money.
Councillor Defi iss Snyder
commented, "The American
tourist was surely paying
through the nose this sum-
mer. In addition to some not
getting full value on the ex-
change of their money they
are paying extremely high
-taxes on liquor, food and
accommodation."
A request for a street light
at the south-east corner of
Dietrich Crescent from Mr.
and Mrs. Ogglesby, Darlene
Ashton and Dr. and Mrs.
Cowen will be forwarded to
the PUC.
Considerable discussion
took place during the meeting
regarding furnishings for the
new municipal building which
is expected to be completed
by the end of this year.
The bid of Carpet Centre of
Exeter for installation of
carpeting in the new building
in the amount of 85,172.48. was
accepted.
