The crest depicts a student graduating with a trophy and a diploma. In our opinion it symbolizes someone that is proud of his/her achievements and is now moving on to a career. Junior and intermediate classes will be focusing on inventions and inventors for the next two months. This theme will be tied into the science and language arts programs. KINDERGARTEN/JUNIOR KINDERGARTEN Parents of children bom in 1989 and 1990 whose children are enrolling in kindergarten or wish their child to enroll in junior kindergarten, if approved, are asked to contact the school. These numbers are needed for the Board of Education to allocate staff for next September. Thanks for your assistance. This morning the Kindergarten class seemed pretty happy playing with their new toys. The first unit was the water table; it seemed very enjoyable. When asked what he liked about the water table Cory Chapman said "You can play with boats in water". The next unit is the doll house. It has two floors and has many little peoples. Amy Bishop said she liked putting the people in the cars. The doll buggy was very busy carting "babies" around the room. Amy enjoys pushing babies around in the buggy. The last toy is a kitchen set. At this activity the children pretend that they cook and eat food. Fire agreement displeases county Huron County should not have to pay extra for fire protections for Huronview and Huronlea homes for the aged, some councillors argued at the Jan. 6 meeting of Huron County Council. Noting that homes serviced by Zurich, Hensall and Exeter fire departments pay no extra for fire protection, Zurich Reeve Robert Fisher wondered why the county should pay $4,000 for fire protec­ tion at Huronview and a similar fee at Huronlea. "That's what the committee (Health and Seniors committee) asked," said Lynn Murray, county clerk-administrator. "That is why we are renegotiating." She explained that the old Huron­ view did not meet fire codes mean­ ing extra costs for coverage by the Clinton Fire Department. When Huronlea was opened the same model was used for a fire agree­ ment. Dave Gower, deputy-reeve of Goderich Twp., pointed out that the two homes pay no taxes to the municipalities which must provide the fire protection (Tuckersmith for Huronview and Morris for Huron- lea). Jack Coleman, reeve of Stan­ ley, however, pointed out that the county does pay taxes on vacant farmland at Huronview. Norm Fair­ ies, reeve of Howick, pointed out taxes are paid on the apartments at the new homes, but not to the homes themselves. "If there is a fire in the apartments there is no charge. The agreement covers the other parts of the homes on which there is no tax paid." The agreements with both homes tion. "We're presently putting together a proposal to discuss with Tuckersmith for an agreement that would be suitable to all parties," said Wayne Lester, administrator On Jan. 4, a card party was held by Majestic Women's Institute with eight tables filled.
