Knight's father Patrick was in- strumental in starting up the Image Cleaners operation with Len Hume in November 1988.

Possible venture Centralia could become education training ceniblr CLINTON - The Huron County Board of Educationis investigating the possibility of a joint venture to use facilities .at Centralia College after its expected closure this corn- ing spring. The board will be seeking grant funding from provincial and federal agencies to set up a specialized ed- ucation and training centre in part- nership with, other.agenciea,and.the private sector. During the next three months, the board will be working on a busi- ness plan to investigate possible uses for the college facilities. But this undertaking will only take place if funding is approved, otherwise the board will opt out of the venture. Possibility uses for the facilities include: • A training centre-wdth programs for business, industry:and the gen- eral public. This could include programs such as Adult Basic Education, high school upgrading and computer skills programs; • A link with colleges or universi- ties, to provide or continue pro- grams . within Huron County such as Teacher Education, agriculture technology and university under- graduate programs; • A new school to be adminis- tered as a private school. There would be a possibility to have both on and off -campus students; • A telecommunications centre, to provide distance education courses to both adult and regular students.
