Trustees of the Avon Maitland board voted last week to reconsider their decision to gradually elim- inate the French program from grades one through three, starting with the next school year. However, local trustee Bob Allen said the board's vote to reopen the issue should not be considered a sign of encouragement that the decision will be reversed. The revote on eliminating primary French will be held at the regular board meeting next week, on Tuesday, Feb. 23 in Seaforth. Parents of students at Exeter Public School clearly support core French. A survey conduct- ed by the School Council indicated that 80 percent of responding parents • support the primary French program. Consequently, the School Council indicated 'it would e funds to cover, — e additional material k...costs of providing primary French. This cost would be less than $500. But parent support and Parent Council support are not enough. We need the Board of Trustees to approve the program. If you want your children - and other children - to have access to primary French, please call the chairperson Wendy Anderson at (519) 271- 7458; as well as Atje Tuyten at (519) 273-0201, and Ray Ford at (519) 273-1464. Thank you. FRANCES ANDERSON, Exeter 4►. Mischief On February 5 at about 4:45 p.m. a '98 green Doge van was parked at Darling's Grocery Store .on Main St. in Exeter.

Vehicles stolen On January 30, 1999 two vehicles were reported stolen from the Seaforth area. The first vehicle was reported stolen from Victoria St. in Egmondville where a '91 red Ford Explorer was stolen during the late morning hours. The vehicle was recovered a short time later only a few blocks away. The second vehicle was taken from the parking lot of an apartment on Side St. in Seaforth. Taken was a '95 purple Chev Cavalier some- time around 4 a.m. This vehicle was recov- ered on Conc. 1 of McKillop Twp. • Break and Enter Sometime between January 18 alio 25, 1999, someone forced open the rear door of a residence at Conc.
