Zurich Citizens News, 1980-06-26, Page 10Page 10 Citizens News June 26, 1980. Continued from page 4 Miscellaneous Rumbliliisgs several small pine trees took root. Thanks to "The Barn" they're still there today serving as a reminder of a structure which met its end years ago. "The Barn" was a common meeting ground for a father and his son on a warm Saturday afternoon in Ju- ly. After the garden had been hoed and after th young man was sick and tired of playing in the sand- box, a bench big enough for two on the westerly side of "The Barn" facilitated an exchange of ideas and feelings. "The Barn" had some help in its later years. from the surrounding plant life when its walls began to sag, and when its roof had more holes than a piece of Swiss cheese. .'hanks to the vine which covered one wall and the old pear tree which gave it shade, "The Barn" enjoyed a few more years of useful life. Ironically, it was the pear treewhich aided in the demise of this noble structure. It was a strong wind four springs ago which forced a weakened limb of the tree onto "The Barn's" by now, very fragile roof. About a month later, Ted Landsbergen and his helpers dismantled the remains of "The Barn". In its place today stands a small frame building mounted on a cement foundation which has almost as much useful space. But it just isn't the same. ,fi• awMi�' C a� r e-io Ax a 4tirvle rFMw. 4 p. +a yg Ask for grass cutting The village of Zurich will make a request to Hay township for the cutting of grass at the ball diamond and soccer field which . is located just outside of the municipality. The request' followed V'" discussion at the June meeting of Zurich council Thursday where councillor Bob Fisher said the recreation, parks and community centre board was concerned about the wear and 'tear on the, mower if it was to be used for the cutting grass in the com- munity park. The committee passed a resolution which called for the village tractor tocut grass on the ball field, park and soccer field. Councillor Leroy Thiel said the township has a moral obligation to look after the maintenance of their recreation facilities. Reeve Fred Haberer termed the cutting bf the grass on the township diamond a "sawoff' which allowed the village to burn brush on the township property. Haberer said he believed Hay would go along with the request. In another matter con- cerning grass, the village may resod a portion of the lawn at the municipal building. Haberer and Thiel voluntered to lay the sod with Isidore Laporte stating he would be willing to help out. The village has spent $350 for shrubs and plants at the office.

Staff photo Authority approves funding changes After a tour of the watershed Thursday, members of the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority approved a reallocation of monies to cover 1980. , • The major addition was $55,535 for erosion control work in Grand Bend. Former board chairman Roy Westcott told the meeting after the tour," The Grand Bend project was a real culprit in our plans, but, the work has been completed and it looks, like an A-1 lob. Westco t added, "It .looks like our se bf the cost will be somewhat less than. $9,600 and we are applying for more funding." On the subject of obtaining additional grants which would amount to 85 percent. resource manager Bill Mungall said, "Promise is not the word for the grant, but, we are highly op- timistic." Several projects have been reduced or delayed for one year to allow for completion of the Grand Bend erosion repair work. A number of motions were passed concerning master plans- and long range planning in the watershed under Authority jurisdiction. A master plan for the Parkhill conservation area .was approved at an •e>dtimated cost of $297,400 • over a period of 20 years. A similar masterplan for the Zurich conservation area was okayed at an estimated total cost of 122,875. Also approved was a back- water study in the village of Lucan. It concerns a culvert, near the CNR tracks on William street. A consulting engineer will be engaged to complete this study at an estimated cost of 14,100.
