Saab iste fas Ne View f Victoria-Hart Village takes legal action Legal action is planned by the village of Victoria Harbour against one of its residents who the village says built a deck against orders. At its meeting last Thurs- day night, council decided there was no choice but to take Antonio Oliva of Hoyt Avenue to court. The village says Oliva started work on the deck without a permit and con- tinued when it said the deck did not comply with bylaws. In September the village sent him a letter ordering him to tear the deck down. But according to Ken Four- nier, building official and bylaw enforcement officer, the deck is still there. "Take legal action im- mediately," said councillor Paul Charlebois. A second dentist may be coming to the village soon. However, the municipality had to pay the price of donating land to the village's medical center. The medical building had to be renovated to allow the new dentist to move in. But the Lions Club, which owns the center, could not afford the renovations. A compromise was worked out where. the municipality would donate the land the medical center is built on (which it owns) and the Lions would take out a mortgage to pay for renovations. "We would not like to lose this opportunity," said a spokesman for the Lions in a letter to council. "The offer came sudden- ly."" Council approved the idea in principle. A military takeover of the village was approved by council last Thursday night. Next January the Cana- dian Armed Forces will hold military manouevres in the Huronia area in an exercise called Lightning Strike '88. , Council approved in principle the use by the ar- my of the village's roads. "Just what are they going to do?" joked councillor Paul Charlebois. 'Shoot at houses?" "No," replied acting- reeve Bob Moreau. "'They just want to show off what they're doing with our money." He later joked that the headline in the next day's newspaper might read "500 troops destroy coun- Git The subdivision plan of Victoria Harbour council has been reviewed by the village's consultants. planning 1, Pe) Mea, HE y Lo see, aa mh at Charlebois J.H. Faulkner Associates made 18 recom- mendations or requests for clarification in the village's plan to go into the subdivi- sion business. Most deal with wording and clarity of the draft standard subdivision agreement prepared by Midland law firm of Teskey, Heacock, Ferguson and Main. "So many words," said councillor Paul Charlebois. "Sometimes one word can mean so much." Council decided to give itself more time to mull over the Faulkner report. Nobody wants to work for $6 an hour anymore, said Victoria Harbour councillor Paul Charlebois. "T see a lot of people standing around all day," he said at last Thursday night's council meeting. "Are they all on pogey?"' At issue was a job open- ing at the village's ice rink as supervisor. The job pays $6 an hour, and the village has never had trouble fill- ing it before, said the councillor. "T'm going to phone the unemployment office and say there's a lot of people standing around who don't want to work for $6 an hour," said Charlebois. He said if the village opened the rink without a supervisor it would be a "free for all." The Mini-Bonhomme's future is in doubt. Victoria Harbour council and No wheels yet A story in last week's paper headlined St. John Gets Wheels stated the local St. John Ambulance Brigade had purchased a new ambulance.

The new ambulance will be purchased at a government auction early next year. We regret the error and apologize for any inconve- nience it may have caused. A Pe says the annual winter car- nival is in trouble this year if more people don't show up to help. "Somebody has got to show some initiative," said acting-reeve Bob Moreau. "At this point we don't know what the future of the Mini-Bonhomme is un- til the next Parks Board meeting," he said. That will be held Dec. 7. Councillor Paul Charlebois agreed. "All we need is some individuals who are prepared to put themselves out a bit," he said. A road paving program in the village of Victoria Harbour will likely not be completed for five years. Acting-reeve Bob Moreau said some water mains had to be replaced before the village could get on with its ambitious pav- ing plans. He said "it didn't make much sense"' to pave the roads if the water mains were in poor repair. The roads may have had to be destroyed in a couple of years to do the work, he said. "At this point there is a good possibility road pav- ing will have to be put back a year,' said Moreau. Nevertheless, '"'we've come a long way in the past four years," he said. Adult needed to work with cadets The Midland- Penetanguishene St. John Ambulance Brigade is looking for a cadet officer to work with its 13 cadets in Midland. The cadet officer will spend two hours a week, and four weekends a year, with a group of young and enthusiastic cadets _bet- ween the ages of 10 and 14. Training, uniforms, and materials, will be provided, along with support ser- vices and assistance. The Midland- Penetanguishene St. John Ambulance Brigade should have 12 adult members. At present the Brigade has five adult members. So- meone with extra time will receive free training in cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), first aid, and home nursing. The Brigade's fundrais- ing campaign is over. The $12,000 goal was reached. Two CPR dolls to be used for instruction of members of the public in first aid have been purchased. An ambulance will be purchas- ed at the next Department of National Defence auc- tion, possibly in January or February. A person interested in being the cadet officer, or becoming an_ adult member, can contact Superintendent Bev Steele (526-2673). BA ' Happy 90th!
