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 faAility 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 replacepeome of the Christ- mas decorations strung up each year by the PUC. Harold Patterson was the tone dissenter. vas� Remembrance 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 fesidents may obtain recrieational 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.
