Youth "lucky to be alive" after ride CLINTON - A local 14 -year-old is "lucky to be alive" following a ride on a truck's bumper according to Clinton Police Sergeant Wayne McFadden. Sergeant McFadden reported that on March 17 two or three youths were at the main intersection in town when one jumped on the bumper of a gas company truck. The driver of the truck was unwire there was anyone on his vehicle and proceeded north on Albert Street after the light chang- ed. When the truck reached John Street the youth became excited and either jumped or fell off, Seargent McFadden said: County council gives $6,240 grant Stanley Township Reeve Clarence Rau had good cause when he spoke in support of continuing a $6,240 recreational grant for the indoor swimming pool at Vanastra. Toward the end of the special meeting of Huron County Council last Thursday, Stephen Township Reeve Tom Tomes sug- gested cutting the grant from this year's consolidated budget. A number of councillors spoke on the issue, some supporting Mr. Tomes' sug- gestion for a variety of reasons, while others presented an equally varied assort- ment of arguments for continuing the grant. However, it was Mr. Rau who turn- ed the tide - and brought about the collapse of his fellow councillors - when he told his tale. When he was a young lad, Mr. Rau said, he never had an opportunity, as children do now, to board a bus and travel to an in- door pool for swimming lessons. "I never did learn how to swim," he confessed. However, all that has changed as a "He haacial cuts when he was taken to the hospita ; he had minor injuries. He is lucky to be alive," he stated. Because the youth is a young offender, his name could not be released by the police department, to Vanastra pool result of recent swimming lessons he received at the Vanastra pool. "I learned how to float," Mr. Rau told the meeting. When council regained their composure, a 23-8 recorded vote approved the $6,240 grant.
