Suggest rabies clinic Council will pay for Tight repair Members of Exeter council got in- to the Christmas spirit a little early and this week agreed to provide up to $200 to help repair some of the town's Christmas street lighting. Council had previously decided against making a donation for the project. Councillor Ben Hoogenboom, a member of the BIA, said members of that group were concerned that the town was not willing to share in the cost. Mayor Bruce Shaw explained that council had hoped,the PUC would pick up their share, but the latter had agreed only to hang the decorations again this year. Shaw said that if the repairs were not undertaken each year, the bill could be $1,000 for repairs in a couple of years. Hoogenboom said the $200 was small potatoes.

Well, just like always, students have returned to McCurdy and our "new ones" seem to be get- ting along fine. It can be really hard for them and we all encourage friend - making. Getting to the good stuff... Kindergarten to grade three are learning,about apples. Projects and books were made including an Apple Pizza! Along with all the apples, the Kindergarten children read all the books in the "Clifford" series learn- ed about the author. Huron Hope Nursery got a real treat because one of their volunteers took them to her farm and everyone had fun riding ponies. Grade four is learning about games in reading skills and grade five isn't having a "ruff" time at all learning about dogs. In room 13 grade six has just hit a home run with their theme "Take me out to the Ball Game", while the grade five's learned about Knights and Dragons. Grade seven is certainly getting to know Mr. Straw during their studies and he thanks them all for their kindness. Grade eight was almost flooded out at Camp Sylvan but did survive to be back in time for elections and with President, Melanie Jones, Vice Presi- dent Steve DuBarry, Secretary Tracy Dubeau and Treasurer Diane McIn- tyre we should have no problem. In Special Ed classes, things could get "fishy" but they are really getting the hang of having a pet. Journals have been computerized and grade five and six are keeping the kids get the ball rolling at the Bowling Alley. Our library has changed, thanks to Mrs. Coates. With carpet, some new books and even a couch, it has everything. Well, almost! (Maybe a big screen TV stereo.... ) That wras up our memos for the first month and a half, so until next time, HAPPY HALLOWE'EN! Only two residents attend meeting Review Hensall secondary plan Members of the public were vastly outnumbered by municipal officials at a meeting called by Huron County to allow comment on need for a revi- sion of Hensall's secondary plan and to consider a proposed plan amend- ment drafted after the required five- year review. Reeve Jim Robinson and all four councillors, clerk Betty Oke, Huron County planner Patty Munkittrick and Stephen Reeve Tom Tomes and Usborne Reeve Gerry Prout, (who both sit on the County planning and development committee) were on hand to address the concerns of Eric Mansfield and Velma Robinson, the only Hensall residents in attendance. Munkittrick began the meeting by going through a 28 -page document which details revisions and additions which have brought the secondary Permits value down last month For the first time this year, the value of building permits in Exeter has dropped below the level of the cor- responding period of 1985. That stems primarily from the fact the new nursing home contract was let a year ago. The value of building permits issued in September of this year was $302,600,compared to $1,701,441 in the same month in 1985. The 1986 total now is at $2,708,714, compared to $3,323,389 for the first nine months in 1985. Two new homes were included in the September list with a value of $130,000. There were 12 permits for residential renovations and additions at $36,900, one industrial at $3,000, four commercial at $124,000, and three permits for tool sheds, sundecks, carports and garages valued at $8,200. Two permanent signs were approv- ed and two for temporary ones as well. NEW BOOKSHELVES New book shelves will be built for the works department office next year after the public works commit- tee turned down a suggestion that us- ed shelves be purchased at an in- dustrial auction this week. The public works committee had asked the general government com- mittee of Exeter council to use funds from the property committee budget for the shelving. However, they were advised that the property budget funds are already earmarked for special reserve fund items and told to consider shelving that will be auctioned off at the Bell Aerospace plant at Grand Bend. Monday night, Councillor Ben Hoogenboom questioned how realisitic it would be to have someone from the department attend the auc- tion for the whole day and he and committee chairman Lossy Fuller. added that the shelving would pro- bably be sold off in large job lots and may not be suitable for the purpose anyway. oognboom said the need for shelving was critical as the depart- ment has books "all over the place" and itis difficult to find them when needed. It was finally agreed that three local carpenters would be asked to submit bids for building the shelving and the work will be undertaken from next year's budget. Cost of the shelving had been estimated at around $900. Correction on wheat eligibility The eligibility of spring wheat on the Winter Wheat Stabilization has been changed. Hard red spring and soft spring are not eligible. Farmers who have submitted ap- plication forms, that included spring wheat, should notify the Farm In- come Stabilization Commission, OMAF, Legislative Buildings, Queen's Park, Toronto M7A 1B7. In- dicate the number of tonnes of spring wheat that was included with the winter wheat. Adjustments can then be made on fees paid. Brian Hall Farm Management Specialist for Huron County MICKLE BACK Reeve Bill Mickle returned to coun- cil this week after a holiday with his wife in Germany. During their visit, the couple call- ed on three of the German in- dustrialists who had visited Exeter over the past two or three years. He advised council that two of the firms are still considering locating in Canada and could still end up in Exeter. plan into conformity with such changes over the past five years as the annexation of more land, and im- provements to the downtown core. Other amendments include group home policies, creation of a buffer zone of light ,industrial uses around the present abattoir in anticipation of redesignation and rezoning for residential development at some future time, a municipal services up- date and acknowledgement of the role of the economic development committee. Further discussion resulted in a decision to retain the open space designation on all land south and west of the arena. The area between the arena and the railway tracks will be zoned institutional. Mansfield complained that the meeting had been poorly advertised, adding he would not have known about it except for an accidental en- counter with the assistant editor of this paper. He suggested using the facilities of the area papers and the community channel on cable TV. Munkittrick explained that adver- tising the meeting had been a County responsibility, and notice had been published twice at least 30 days before the actual date. She said there was some legal concern regarding methods above the legal requirement, unless everyone could be notified, but was willing to meet with council to set up a policy on appropriate notice. Mansfield was also concerned about a proposed zoning of light in- dustrial on Mill St. He was assured that the public would have ample op- portunity to give their views when a public meeting is called to examine the zoning bylaw, which sets out specific rules for implementing the broad generalizations of the land use policies contained in the secondary plan. Velma Robinson zeroed in on a stipulation in the home occupation category that forbids retailing of any item not created on the site. She wanted to know if this means a hair- dresser with a shop in the home could not sell wigs. Munkittrick said en- forcement of this clause would be at the discretion of council. The amended secondary plan will be sent to County Council for ap- proval, and then circulated among various branches of the ministry of municipal affairs. Ministry officials will meet with council and approval will be .given when all strata of government are satisfied with the plan. Hensall council will then turn their attention to the draft zoning bylaw for the village. WIN B TITLE — Chiselhurst won the 'B' championship of the Exeter men's rec fastball league.
