Left to right, they are Pierre Glrlgnon, a Grade 11 student from France on a Ministry of Education French Exchange; Catharina Asp, a Grade 12 student from Sweden on an American Scandana- vian Student Exchange; Hilhe Janhonen, a Grade 12 student from Finland, also on an American Scandanas ian Student Exchange; Luz Ma Mendoza, a Grade 13 student from Mexico on a Central States Rotary Youth Exchange; and Valeria Benitez, a Grade 11 student from Ecuador. All of the students are billeted with local families, with the exception of Valeria who is living with her sister, Mildred Hogan, a resident here; and all are staying in Canada until the end of the school year, with the exception of Pierre who leaves November 3. (Photo by Joanne Buchanan) Pierre discovers Huron County peanut butter and falls in love He came across an ocean and fell in love. However, it isn't a young woman who has attracted this young man, rather it is a delicacy known as peanut butter. • There is no peanut butter in France, and for 16 -year-old Pierre- Grignon of Nor- dhouse, France, discovering peanut butter in Canada has been like finding the prover- bial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Pierre is in Huron County, more specifically he is staying with the Warren Robinson family of Goderich. Mr. Robinson is the English co-ordinator for the Huron County Board of Education. The young Frenchman and three young women from Quebec were introduced to the board of education at its October session by French co-ordinator Damien Solomon. All four students are here as exchange students for three months. At the end of the three months, the host students will visit their exchange partners' homes. In Pierre's case, 16 -year-old Baird Robin- son will be visiting France. Francine Beaupre, 16, of Charlesbourg, Que., is staying with Kelly McBridge, 16, of Lucknow. Both are attending F.E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham. • Chantal Pitchette, 17, of Clermont, Que., is an exchange partner with Rhonda Lobb, 17, of Clinton. The pair are attending Cen- tral Huron Secondary School. Sonia Dube, 17, of St.-Jean-Port-Joli, Que., is visiting Melanie Mann, 17, of Clin- • ton. Both are attending Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton. - Mr. Robinson said one of the rules of the exchange is that English has to be spoken by the visiting students. This rule will be reversed, French only, when the visits are reciprocated. Pierre has had no difficulty in the English department. He has taken English for only four years, yet his command of the language is very good, agrees Mr. Robinson and Mr. Soloman. The young man, because of his love of peanut butter, said he would like to start a factory to produce the food in his country. He said there was little difficulty in understanding the young women from Quebec, although he noted the accents are different. The three high school students said they found no difficulty in understanding Pierre as they quickly reverted to their mother tongue. Mr. Solomon told trustees that students from F.E. Madill have been involved in similar exchanges for about three years and this is the first year for Central Huron students. He also noted that last year, about 20 students from South Huron District High School in Exeter were in Chicoutami, Que. bicentennial events result in deficit A summary of revenues and expenditures for Bicentennial activities in the town of Goderich this past summer shows a deficit of about $6,875. Administrator Larry McCabe presented the expenditure and revenue summary to council at its October 1 meeting after coun- cillor Jim Searls questioned several ac- counts relating to Bicentennial events. Expenses for the events amounted to $27,506 with the major costs being; $3,572 for tall ship expenses; $3,410 for the fireworks display; $1,750 for bands and prizes for the July 1 parade; $1,766 for advertising; $4,547 for the town payroll; $1,301 for the Bicenten- nial Showcase; $2,496 for the Bicentennial Cookbook and $4,649 in donations to local clubs trom the receipts from tne bicenten- nial Showcase. On the revenue side the town took in $19,631 with over $7,400 generated from grants, $2,232 was realized through the sale of the cookbook, Bicentennial Showcase receipts totalled $6,104 and donations ac- counted for another ;196. Expenses incurred by the town during the visit of the tall ships amounted to $3,572 which included $1,377 for the bus shuttle, $300 for a band, $220 for badges, $547 for breakfast and supper for crews; $150 for refreshments and $957 for a reception for' the captains and crews of the ships. - The reception was sponsored by the Sun - coast Mall Merchants and administrator Larry McCabe said that the association has indicated payment is forthcoming. On the revenue side the town realized $1,824 in bus receipts and another $1,115 in donations. The net expense to the town for all Bicentennial events will be about $6,875. Mayor Eileen Palmer said the number of favorable remarks on the events out- numbered the criticisms and she lauded the efforts of town employees who were called upon to perform a myriad of tasks. Palmer said that during the visit of the tall ships in August, police directing traffic at the top of West Street suggested that about 22,500 peo- ple visited the harbour during the two-day period.
