Activities back
on at SHDHS
•
By Scott Nixon
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
EXETER — A three-week suspension of student
council activities at South Huron District High School
has been lifted because of an improvement in student
behaviour.
SHDHS principal Deb Homuth originally put a stop
to student council activities in February after several
incidents. The final straw came at the school's
Valentine's Dance on Feb. 10, during which a fight
broke out.
After activities — including Panther Pride Day —
were suspended, Homuth said behaviour improved
and students displayed leadership and self discipline.
She also reinstated activities because she said it
gives students a chance to prove they are trustworthy
and they deserve the privilege of having student
council activities.
Homuth told the students her decision during an
assembly Monday morning. She warned that while
she hopes activities will continue until the end of the
year they could be suspended again if there are more
incidents of bad behaviour.
Homuth said the majority of students understood
her original decision to suspend activities, although
there were some who felt they were being unduly
punished for the actions of a few.
She also said her method of punishment was just.
"I don't think I could have made any other decision
given the circumstances."

EXETER — Exeter
council's committee of
the whole told the Exeter
Centennial Soccer Club
they'll find $5,000 for the
club's Rec Centre lit field
project. Council just
wants to figure out
where the money's com-
ing from.
Exeter Centennial
Soccer Club president
George McEwan
explained the lit pitch
project and what the club
wants from council at
Monday's meeting.
The committee
deferred handing the
club $5,000 till staff
come up with options
where the money could
come fr
om.
McEwan explained why
Exeter needs a lit soccer
field.
With minor soccer reg-
istration hovering
between 400-450 for the
last few years, there is t
pressure on the system
for either more fields or s
a lit field to extend the
use of existing facilities
(two games can be h
played during one night
on a lit field instead of
just one).
Secondly, some Exeter b
teams will compete in the t
more competitive London m
District Youth Soccer I
League this season bring- e
Ing in tougher competi-
tion. C
The Exeter Centennial fi
senior men's team were to
promoted to the First
Division this season.
Western Ontario Soccer
League's rules dictate
First and Premier
Division clubs must pro-
vide officials and visiting
eams change rooms and
showers which can be
upplied at the Rec
Centre as opposed to
where all senior teams
ave played in the past

Canners Field is owned
y Nabisco who have let
earns use the field but
ay .at any time sell the
and or use it for an
xpansion.
McEwan added the
entennials had to con-
rm with the WOSL the
am will play the entire
'99 season on Canners
Field because the lights
installation won't take
place till late April -early
May when the season
starts. He added youth
teams will largely use the
lit field for the first cou-
ple of years.
So far the club has
raised $30,600 of the
total project cost. It was
pointed out the $45,000
cost doesn't include a
hydro transformer and
lines that could cost
about $10,000.
McEwan said the club
will raise this additional
cost as well. The club will
also pay for the monthly
hydro bills.

is for the lit field to be a

DASHWOOD — Those
concerned about the
future of the police
Village of Dashwood
have the chance to air
their concerns at a public
meeting Thursday night
at the Dashwood
Community Centre at
7:30 p.m.
Dashwood, split down
Highway 83 by Stephen
and Hay Townships, has
been a topic of discussion
at amalgamation talks
recently with the South
Huron group — consist-
ing of Exeter, Stephen
and Usborne — seeking
to annex all of
Dashwood.
So far, Hay Township

dents a chance to let
their opinions be known
and ask questions.
In addition to village
trustees, representatives
