Hensall-area
man
sentenced
,GODERICH - "1 must send to
a message to you, to the people
of Huron County and to the peo-
ple of Exeter that if a woman
says no, it means no."
That's what the Honourable
Justice S. Granger said Sept. 8,
upon sentencing a Hensall-area
man to three months in jail fol-
lowed by two years probation
for sexual assault. Twenty -year-
old Robert Michael McClinchey
was found guilty on June 11.
On May 30, 1992, the Gode-
rich court heard, McClinchey
forced, the victim to have sexual
intercourse with him after she
said no.
Based on testimony from the
teal, McClinchey was classified
as extremely controlling in his
relationschip with the victim, it
was reported in the Huron Ex-
positor.
In his defence, McClinchey's
lawyer said his client had no
prior criminal record and was
virtually a young offender at the
time of the incident. He also re-
ported that his client had a full-
time job and was currently seek-
ing counselling for behavioral
and social drinking problems.

How d
to
es your library
county
now
o 44 4kncrkr. r•
EXETER - How does your local library serve
yolur needs? Is it open the hours that suit ,ou? Can
you get the books you want? Does the building it-
self meet the needs of your community?
These and many other questions will be asked by
the Huron County Library Board during a series of
public meeting held across the county next month.
A meeting is scheduled for Exeter on October 13.
County librarian Beth Ross said while the context
of each of the five meetings will be the same, the is-
sues and concerns of the communities may very
well be different. This needs assessment has been
in the works for a few years, with funds fatally
available this fall.
"I guess the purpose is to let the community set
the direction for the future of the libraries," said
Ross.
Since the county pays for the service itself, but
the various municipalities own or rent the branches,
the meetings will provide that direction to both lev-
els of government. Questions about the suitability
of the Exeter branch building have been raised by
both the library board and town council in past
weeks.
Town libraries have traditionally drawn patrons
from outside municipal borders, even though those
buildings are municipally owned, leading some to
question exactly who should be paying for what.
"It might be time to rethink some of those ar-
rangements," speculated Ross.
But Ross said the public forums may go far be-
yond such problems. Another topic of discussion
may be the number of library branches needed to
properly meet the needs of county residents, particu-
larly since some smaller branches have been closed
in recent years.
"I don't know that Huron County needs 10, 15, or
30 libraries to serve the needs of the public," said
Ross.
The October 13 meeting will be in Exeter at the
United Church at 7:30 p.m. Ross pointed out it is
intended to be a forum for users of all southern -
county patrons, including those from Hensall, Zu-
rich, Centralia, and Kirkton.
Ross said the meetings are also open to those who
may find the Huron libraries do not meet their needs
at all, and who travel to other areas, such as London
to borrow books.
"If they don't use our library system, we'd like to
hear why," said Ross.

Gland Bend
harbour in
need of
better
dredging
GRAND BEND - According to
the former reeve of Grand Bend, if
the village goes not take a close
look at how it dredges its arbour,
there could be less boaters coming
to Grand Bend in the future.
At last Monday night's council
meeting, former reeve Bruce
Woodley said he recently ran
aground with his sail boat which
draws five -and -a -half feet of water.
"It's a safety factor," said Wood-
ley. "It's no point trying to draw
boaters if we're going to have this
problem," he said.
Last Sunday the harbour was
dredged but the equipment which.
is doing the job does not seem to
be adequate. Boats are in the har-
bour until October 25 but due to
fishing regulations, the harbour
can't be dredged after the end of
September.
Grand Bend mayor Tom Lawson
said he would take the problem to
the next Tri -Municipal meeting.
