Shategy to cut school violence CLINTON - The Huron County Board of Education appears to be on track with its campaign to com- bat violence in schools as the Onta- rio government announced similar strategies to dual with the problem. Education .and Train i ng Minister Dave Cooke.annourtr 'n Thurs- day a number of stmt. lesigned to deal with violence in uie schools. "Students should not have to suf- fer to get an education," Cooke said in a release. "Those who are re- sponsible for violent acts must ac- cepLtthe consequences," he said. Paul Carroll, director of tiie Hu- ron County Board of Education said the provincial announcement is confirmation that the preventative acu4iy�tte board has taken so far is "a step t the right direction. "Provincial support is imporutnt if we are going to ha/re zero toler- ance towards violeocc," Carroll said. He said the Huron board will soon be circulating a draft hand- book on zero tolerance that the safe school committee has been working on over the past few months.

Lions Club'igteeting next Monday eve- ning. The Lions Club has invited sever- al groups to the meeting at the Youth Centre -to inspire support for the funding of the park's beautifica- tion. Other service clubs, industries, key businesses, and council mem- bers have been invited to the meet- ing, but since council has its own meeting that evening, committee chairman John Stephens said mu- nicipal government may have to be briefed later. Plansfor the 5150,000 beautifica- tion of the park have been drawn up by landscape designer Mario Le- vesque, and includes lighted walk- ways and gardens in the section of the park closest to the Main Street bridge. "Right on the highway, it's going to be very, very visible," said -Ste- phens, stating that is why it was chosen over other areas of Mac - Naughton Park. What it will not be is a Lions Park, as seen in other communities. Stephen said the club is taking the approach that the funds raised arc being used to make the beautifica- tion part of the Ausable/Morrison corridor, and not to promote the club. Cur stolen in Exeter EXE'1'hR - In Exeter Friday might, a 1984 Volkswagen Jetta went missing from the front of the Becker's store. Police say the driv- er left the car unattended with the keys still in it. The car, license number 906 -ASW instill missing. An investigation is still continu- ing;into *he theft of money and ticketsfothellaronto Maple Leafs Oldtimers hockey game. The mon- ey -and tickets were stolen from the South Huron Recreation Centre last ;Tuesday. t"This is definitely not -a 'Lions Park. It is part of the Ausable cor- ridor," he said. The club has committed SS0,000 to the project, 527,000 of which has already been raised through Con- servation Dinners, the next el which is in April. "Any shortfall we'd probably bor- row from the Lions Club,"said Ste- phens, noting it would be paid back from earnings from future dinner auctions. Another 550,000 has 'teen corn- mined by the Ausablc 'Bayfield Conservation Foundation, leaving the remaining third`iobe funded by other groups. Stephens said the goal is to Nave specific gardens and focal points in the park to be funded by specific businesses and groups. Monday's meeting will present those ideas to potentially interested groups for fu- ture consideration. "This meeting isn't geared to so- liciting fonds. It's an information night," said Stephens, adding that interested parties could meet with the committee at a later date. JOIN OUR CREDIT UNION and invest in your future!
