Could get $ 10,000 grant for 'community school
The Huron-Perth County
Roman Catholic Separate
School board approved an
application Monday from the
principal of St. Joseph’s
school in Kingsbridge to
have his school named a
community school. The
board will now forward the
application from David
Zyluk to the ministry of
education to apply for the
maximum community
Service station
given approval
Exeter’s committee of
adjustment and council have
given their approvals for a
new service station to be
erected at the intersection
of Highway 83 and Carling
St.
The new facility is being
planned by Delton Walper, ■
and one of the stipulations
from the committee of ad
justment was that council
had to approve the service
station because it is con
sidered as a “dangerous
trade”.
Clerk Liz Bell told council
that permission would also
have to be granted by the
ministry of the environ
ment.
Council also approved an
expenditure of $186.50 to
replace some of the Christ
mas decorations strung up
each year by the PUC.

school grant of $10,000 an
nually for up to two years.
Subsequent financial
support must then be
provided by the board. The
board will assist the
program by supplying heat,
hydro and the use of other
school resources. The $10,000
grant will be used mainly for
paying the salary of a co
ordinator to run the
program.
At the present time
community groups are using
St. Joseph’s School —
Catholic youth organization
from Kingsbridge; Girl
Guides; various sports
groups — ladies volleyball
team, Kintail girls’ softball
team, snowmobile club,
men’s volleyball and floor
hockey teams; St. Joseph’s
PTA and various other
groups. By utilizing
existing facilities after
school hours, residents may
obtain recreational and
education programs.
Zyluk, who attended the
board meeting said,
“Basically as I feel the
taxpayers are paying for the
school, it should be kept open
for as Many hours as
possible.”
Zyluk said he has com
munity volunteers coming
into the school to help
students on a one to one
basis. He said this started
one year ago and now has
increased from three
volunteers to eight volun
teers. This is personalizing
education for my students,
he said.
The grant is expected to
come through by December.
This will be the second
community school in the
board’s system — the first
was St. Patrick’s School,
Dublin, now completing the
second year.
Gordon Nichol and Harry
King, both past presidents of
Kiwanis Clubs in Stratford,
presented the board with a

flooding of basements on
Carling St.
Hugh Davis, a resident on
the street, met with council
this week to ask what
progress had been under
taken to end the problem,
which periodically sees

the
water backing up

water contains sewage.

local court
The highest fine paid
Exeter court Tuesday was
$108 or 11 days assessed 1
against Robert W. Brand, 22
Simcoe Street, who pleaded . guilty to careless - driving-. • t
. The fine was levied . by
Justice of the Peace Douglas
Wedlake.
Brand had been involved
in a one-vehicle crash on
August 6.
A penalty of $78 or eight
days was levied against Guy
A. Lee, Hensall, who was
charged with creating un
necessary noise with his
vehicle in Exeter on Sep
tember 21.
Peter J. Lockridge,
Watford was fined $38 for
following another vehicle too
closely, while Leroy Stirling,
Ridgetown, paid $28 for the
same offence.
Failure to wear a seat belt
resulted in a fine of $28 for
Peter Sutherland, Huron
Park, while Richard W.
Preszcator, R.R. 1 Exeter
was fined $28 for failing to
stop at a red light.
Paying speeding fines
were Amarjit Singh,
Stratford, $52 for a speed of
113 in an .80 km zone; and
Kurt E. Christensen,
Scarborough,$33 for a speed
of 100 in an 80 km zone.
The only infraction under
’ the Liquor Licence Act
resulted in a fine of $54 for
Richard W. Anderson, Huron
Park, who pleaded guilty to
driving a motor vehicle ip
which there was an open
package of liquor.
pie were illegally hooked
into the storm drain with
down spouts, and asked if
corrective measures were to
be taken this year.
Works superintendent
Glenn Kells, who noted that
only three or four illegal
hookups had been located
with the smoke tests, said he
had talked to B.M. Ross
“and he doesn’t know what
the problem is, any more
than you or I”.
“There has to be a
solution,” Davis contended,
asking if a further report
was expected from the
engineers.
Kells replied that no
report was expected.
Davis said that while
there has not been any
problem so far this year, it
appears to still exist on oc
casion when there is a heavy
rain lasting for over an hour
and a half.
Reeve Si Simmons
wondered if the Anne St.
creek could be lowered in an
effort to end the problem,
but he was advised that this
was impossible because of
the railway bridge.
Davis said that the
original plans for the sewer
system indicated that one
pump would handle the job
at the John St. pumping sta
tion, when in fact it appears
that two pumps now there
are not always sufficient.
“There’s more, water go
ing in that the engineer ever
considered,” he explained.
Kells said it was expected
that some old drains would
have been found when the
smoke tests were con
ducted, but this was not the
case either.
At this point, Mayor Bruce
Shaw asked Kells to contact
the engineers for a written
report on the situation.
Changes in grants
could delay diamond
Work on the new ball dia
mond planned for Exeter’s
community park may be
held up due to possible
changes in the Wintario
grant structure.
Recreation administrator
Kirk Armstrong said he was
told by a ministry of culture
and recreation official that
work on the feasability
study on the diamond should
be stopped temporarily until
the Wintario grant picture
has been clarified.
It had originally been
hoped work on the .new dia
mond could begin in the fall
with the installation of a
drainage system.
The Rec Centre Board will
be asking the townships of
Usborne and Stephen for
their contribution of money
to the centre shortly with
the board asking Exeter
council to make the requests
on their behalf.
The two townships will be
asked to designate their
grants as program grants to
enable the rec board to app
ly to Wintario for matching
funds.
Last year Usborne
granted $4,500 and Stephen
$1,500.

King said when visiting the
schools he had received a
tremendous warmth in the
schools.
Nichols presented the
plaque to board chairman,
Donald Crowley of Gadshill.
Trustee Vincent Young of
Goderich later in, the
meeting questioned the fact
that only Perth schools
would receive the plaque
when it is a Huron-Perth
board. The Kiwanis Club will
be asked to consider pr-
senting the 10 Huron
separate schools as well.
Open house will be held at
the newly renovated
„ Previous Blood school in
Exeter on Thursday,
October 26, 1978 to October
1979.
The usual gift of $150 will
be donated to the Stratford
Kiwanis Club to be used for
awards for the winners of the
Kiwanis Music Festival to be
held this fall.
Trustee Ted Geoffrey
asked whether consideration
should be given to stocking
up some of the schools in
case students are storm-
stayed this winter. He was
told that two schools have
been doing this each winter.
Superintendent Joseph
Mills said a contingency plan
will be discussed with the
principals at their next
meeting as to what pre
cautions have been taken.
With a full slate of trustees
at the meeting, the three
members who missed the
last board meeting were
asked to state whether they
would be seeking re-election
— Michael Connolly of
Kippen said, “I filled in the
papers this morning.”
Ted Geoffrey of Zurich and
Vincent Young of Goderich
said they will run but will
step down if a good separate
school supporter contests
their ridings.
Mickey Vere of Stratford
said he will be running for re
election.
David Teahen of Stratford
tws already announced he
wTll not be seeking re
election as he is trying for a
seat on Stratford council.
Chairman Donald Crowley
of Gadshill said he will not be
seeking re-election as he will
be trying for the position of
separate school represen
tative on the Perth County
Board. Mr. Crowley said he
has enjoyed being a trustee
and said his experience
would be helpful to him if he
is elected to the Perth Board.
All other trustees declared
their intentions of running at
the last board meeting.
