PAGE4 THURSDA' SEPTEMBER 19, lOU WATER, From Page 1 These failing pipes have been an issue the Town of Westfield has been trying to solve for eight years by applying for grants from various agencies, but to no avail. However, the problem cannot wait for grant approval any longer. Up until now the Village .of Westfield has been fixing leaks in the system, but according to LeBarron, there are certain sec- tions of that piping which cannot . be fixed again; it will have to be replaced. \They have been working hard to get grants,\ LeBarron said. \I don't understimd why they're not.\ LeBarron proposed a five phase solution to the water issue which would replace the 4- and' l-inch piping currently in the ground, only 2 or 3 feet deep in some wait until the thre.e-week bid places, with 12- and 8-inch piping process.

BiUs said that as the town gets more answers, those will be passed along to residents. LeBarron asked that if residents start losing pressure, they need to alert the village right away. As part of the lowering of the pres- sure in the lines, there will now be weekly bacteria testing. Village of Westfield Mayor David Carr said the village is committed to helping out in any way it can with the situatiGn. \We have to find a way to make it work,\ Bills said. \We don·~ have the answer tonight, but we·~ going to keep on going.\ · The message to Barcelona resi- dents by the end of the meeting was that the water situation is Sen¥ commenll' on this article to editorial@ wesifie~republican .com. ' • HISTORY, From Page 1 \ During the late 1950s and early 1960s, there was a roller-skating rink named Caldwell's and a bowling alley near the train tracks on State Street. A gas station was also once connected to Meeder's Restaurant. Several audience mem- bers recalled the fire which occurred on New Year's Day in 1965. It destroyed appliance store HepCo and Patterson's, a store above which dances and plays often took place. One listener said he remembered blue flames from television sets explod- ing before the front wall of the buildings collapsed onto Main Street. Due to low water pressure in Ripley at the time, the fire destroyed much of the buildings before the Westfield Fire Department arrived. Two years later, Ripley's !50th anniversary was celebrated. \It was a time when the town really came together,\ Dorothy Luke, who was born and raised in her parents' home on Main Street, said. \Everyone was born at home back then,\ Pell said. It was a time when doc- tors visited homes rather than practicing medicine at a centralized location. Calling the doctor's office to schedule an appointment never happened. People in Ripley used the trolley system that ran along Lake Erie to get to Westfield and the surround- ing areas. One audience CLCS, From Page 1 member mentioned troops of actors and performers passing through town. Linda Lamaye, a member of the Ripley Library's Friends of the Library is currently working on a pro· ject about the history of Ripley for the children and families of the town. For more information, call the Ripley library at 736-3913. Kinney will also be host- ing a second installment of the meeting on Oct. 18 at 2 p.m. at the library. Those attending are asked to bring memories and photos of Ripley from the past to dis- cuss and .. illustrate the town of Ripley back when.\ Send comments on this article to editorial@ westfieldrepublican.com.

These types of signs are allowed, but within reason. Lately, there seems to be many more than provided in the Village of Westfield's local codes and they are not removed after the event. The other concern is where these temporary signs are located. Chapter 62, Advertising Materials of the Village of Westfield Code states, \No person shall post upon any tree or telephone, telegraph or electric light pole any handbills or other advertis- ing matter whatsoever.\ It's a pretty clear state- ment and it was put in place for the safety of village resi- dents and visitors. Many utility poles are wood and every time a screw or nail is driven into one of these poles to hang a temporary sign, insects and woodpeck- ers work their way into the hole left by the fastener. Over time, a safety issue develops because the pole rots from the inside out, Sign locations are also strategically studied with vehicular and pedest~ian traffic flows in mind. They are reviewed first for safety, then for communicability. When a temporary sign is just thrown up anywhere, it distracts motorists crea4ng a potential safety hazard. Chapter 155-53 Signs, of the Village of Westfield Zoning Code provides all of the guidance required relat- ing to signs in our commu- nity.
