John Jewitt of RR 1, Londesboro, left, elected Monday to serve as chairman of the Huron County Board of Education for 1988, accepts the gavel from past-chairman Art Clark of Wingham. Joan Van den Broek was elected vice-chairman of the Board. County rebates to urban areas stay BY WAYNE STUBBS Huron county councillors at their December 3 meeting voted 20-11 to leave untouched the amount of money to be rebated to urban municipalities on road costs. The proposal to drop the urban road rebate from 45 per cent to 25 per cent had been debated at council previously with the subject sent back to committee. That was the only contentious issue brought before council as the report was presented by J. Russel Kernighan, reeve of Colborne Township. Aside from that, council members virtually passed the the same Road Committee report without questions from members nor discussion. “We are still dealing with some of the same information about the roads which we had before,” Kernighan said. Another point which brought about some discussion was the number of people calling a town ship home before it could ask for town status. Council members learned that 2,500 people had to live in any one township before the designation would be considered. One example which was discussed was the present Sarnia Township which becomes a town on January 1, 1988. Councillors were told that became necessary because of the long standing annexation battle between the township and its neighbour the City of Sarnia which has been trying to annex part or all of the township for a number of years. County council also learned that urban municipalities are required to pay more to rent equipment used to maintain community roads and streets than a rural area. Rental for the equipment is used to replace the same equipment when it wears out. Exeter man charged after school fires A 24-year-old Exeter man is in custody in Goderich after being charged with four counts of arson in connection with several fires in the Exeter area last August, including two major fires at local schools. Paul Douglas Broderick appear ed in Goderich Provincial Court on Monday to face the arson charges, plus one charge of mischief. He was remanded until December 14 pending a bail hearing. Exeter Police Chief Larry Hardy said Mr. Broderick is charged with arson in two separate fires August 27 that caused nearly $2 million dollars in damage at Exeter Public School and more than $300,000 in damage at Usborne Central Public School. He is also charged with arson in connection with a $20,000 fire at Exeter District Co-op fertilizer plant on August 26; and with $10,000 damage to a car in a John Street garage in Exeter on August 18. The mischief charge arises from an incident on Novem ber 26 when the suspect was arrested after attempting to set fire to an Exeter police cruiser parked behind the town police station. All Usborne Central students are back in their classrooms after renovations, while the Exeter school is only partly re-usable to date, with the entire main core still undergoing renovations. Students from both schools had to be temporarily housed in church and community facilities throughout the area until repairs could be made. Libraries get longer hours BY WAYNE STUBBS Few questions were asked about the report of the Huron County Library Board report when it was presented to Huron County Coun cil during the meeting held at the Huron County Court House, Goderich, on Thursday, December 3. Some ofthe county librarians were having hours changed. Among them are Cranbrook Li brary which will now be open five hours per week. Previously library services were only available three hours a week. Ethel Branch Library will also increase hours of service by two hours weekly and those hours will be in the evening to serve working people. The branch which will see the largest increase in hours of service per week is the Goderich branch. Presently it offers 47 hours weekly. That will increase to 57. The only branch to experience# decrease in hours of service is the Kingsbridge branch which de creases to three hours weekly. It used to be open five hours per week. Fordwich branch is to gain two hours of service a week and will now be open seven hours. The only other point discussed was the request for permission to remain working past retirement date made by Mrs. M. Day, librarian at the Wingham branch. She is due to retire on February 11, 1988 but since the library in that community is moving its location she has asked to stay on two or three months. That request was accepted. Acting Huron County Librarian Sharon Cox told council members thenewbranch ofthe Wingham library was progressing well. Ms. Cox said the new shelves in the new library were being installed and the former branch would be closing soon. The volunteers helping with the work at the new branch had been working from early morning often past 5p.m. The Agriculture and Property Committee report was presented to council and passed without any member of council objecting to recommendations or asking ques tions.
