Upon questioning from Coun. Bernie MacLellan (Huron East) at Huron County's March 23 committee -of - the -whole session, Children's Services Manager Ivy McDonagh says it is still too early to gauge what kind of impact full-day 1K will have on the county's daycare pro- grams since all schools have yet to offer it. So far, she says, the Clinton Cooperative Childcare Centre has been the one hardest hit since full-day 1K is available at both the public and separate schools In Clinton. "'They (the CCC) really haven't shown any great loss at this time," says McDonagh, noting part of the rationale for that may be the popularity of infant and toddler pro - grains, which are more costly to run but also in demand. McDonagh says it appears parents would rather place infants and toddlers in licensed daycare facilities than private homes. Another Look Ashfield Colborne Wawanosh would like to take a sec- ond look at a proposed countywide mandatory septic system maintenance program but, as Coun. Ben Van Diepenbeek (ACW) learned last week, doing so will require a scheduled appearance by program lead Bob Worsen at an upcoming committee -of -the -whole session.

Thanks to (notions approved by the Huron County Library Board at its March meeting, the library board has both approved a committee entrusted in taking care of the hiring process for the county's new cultural services director in the wake of Beth Ross's decision to retire corse lune, as well as a comprehensive Job description crafted by Human Resources director Darcy Michaud. "Beth has been incredibly helpful," notes Michaud in reference to the new job description required given that Ross took on a number of extra duties after starting with the county as its chief librarian in the 1980s. Though the hiring committee was originally slated to include two public members of the library board, three public representatives were eventually agreed upon after four trustees were nominated and only one, County Coun. Dave Riach (North Huron), turned down the opportunity. As it stands, the candidates for cultural services direc- tor are slated to meet with a hiring committee that will consist of County Warden Neil Vincent (North Huron), library board chairman Brian Barnim (Central Huron), library board vice-chairman Bill Siemon (Huron Bust), along with board trustees County Coun. 'Tyler Ilessel (Bluewater), Peggy Menzies and Phil Gandon. Let's Hear It County Warden Neil Vincent is urging fellow council- lors to decry any changes to a provincewide coyote pre- dation program that could result in fewer animals being caught. Vincent note the deadline to submit letters of concern is fast approaching and should he forwarded to him by the first week of April. AC OK After some debate at an earlier session, councillors are giving a thumbs up to plans to include air-conditioning units in the 31 apartments being constructed at the Nuronview site near Clinton.
