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.

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.
Heimrich said the
Chamber felt there was a
need for such a program and
he expressed hope that
parents of the community
would encourage their
children to attend the
playground.
For information about the
playground either Heimrich,
Paul Bedard or Joe Risi can
be contacted.
MAINTAINING THE LOOKS — Zurich has one of the best
looking municipal offices in this area but even this structure
can use a coat of paint once in a while. Applying the paint on
Thursday, is Francis Kipper. Staff photo
