Public meeting for Hensall plan tonight The last chance for public input into the proposed secondary plan for Hensall will take place tonight at 7:30 p.m. in Hensall Puhjic School. The plan which has been in the works for the past two years, has been mailed to the 400 property owners in Hensall recently. Reeve Harold Knight said that he and council felt the draft plan has been well executed. He said that depending on the meeting, several changes to the plan could be made or it could remain similar to what was mailed out to the residents. He said the plan will take into consideration the village's proposed an- nexation of a sector of Hay township. Knight said he doubted if the plan could be in force this year. Roman Dzus of the Huron County planning department said the idea behind this last meeting is to get a more defined response from the public. He said the idea of the plan is to reflect the majority of interests and Dzus felt his department had "received a reasonably good idea of what the people wanted" from the public meetings that were held previously. The county planner said it was difficult to predict when the plan could be put in force. Once final approval from council has been received, the county and ministry of housing must okay the plan. Dzus said preliminary work on the village's revamped zoning bylaws have- begun, with the work being carried out by the department's student planner, Bryan Tuckey of Exeter. Price Per Copy 20 Cents Playground for Zurich will operate in July, August For youngsters in Zurich, the summer should be not quite as long as other years, with ttte announcement that a playground for Zurich and area young people, will be operating this summer. Open bakeshop in Seaforth For the first time since the town began Seaforth has been without a bake shop. The long time Crich bakery closed its doors at the end of May following the sale of the building it had oc- cupied for 75 years. A month earlier Trapnell bakery had ceased business when the premises it occupied also were sold. The bake shops shortage however has been short liv- ed with the opening this week of Tasty -Nu Bread and Donut Shop in the former Trapnell shop next to the Expositor. While a formal opening is not taking place until the weekend already the new shop has attracted a steady stream of shoppers. So popular were the donuts that by noon Monday and again late Tuesday afternoon the supply ran out - Featuring over 40 varieties of donuts made on the premises the shop also handles bread and rolls bak- ed in the home plant in Zurich. Owned and operated by Douglas Oesch the Tasty -Nu bakery carries on a long Zurich tradition of good bak- ing. The Zurich operation in- cludes a cheese house as well as the Tasty -Nu bakery. Associated with Mr. Oesch in the business are his parents Mr. and Mrs. Carl Oesch and brother, Jeff and sister Debbie who is in charge of the Seaforth Store and Kim and Jane in Zurich. Providing funds for the operation of the playground are the Zurich and area Chamber of Commerce and the ministry of culture- and recreation through the Ex- perience 78 program. The government agency has provided $1,000 for the program. Looking after the playground will be Barb Dietrich of Zurich, a graduate of South Huron District High School who is presently involved in the federal government's youth experience program, Katimavick_and her assis- tant, Janet McAllister, RR 1 Zurich, a student at South Huron. Chamber spokesman Ron Heimrich said the program will run for seven weeks from July 10 to August 25. Registration forms are available at Zurich Public School, St. Boniface and Ecole St. Marie with children from ages five to twelve being eligible. In the first week of July there will be a registration day at the arena. Activities for the playground will originate from the community park. The cost for the program will be $5 for the first child, $5 for the second child with a maximum of $10 per family being charged.
