(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) McDonald's, Beckers hope to build next year A public meeting held into -the rezoning application on a parcel of land was the in- itial step in the establishment of a pew Becker's Milk Store and McDonald's Restaurant at the corner of Suncoast Drive and Bayfiled Road. The Becker Milk Company, owner of the 5,877 square metre pacrel of land, has ap- plied for a highway commercial C-3 designation from the present C3-5 designa- tion. The company has also applied to the committee of adjustment for a severance to allow the two side-by-side developments on the corner lot. There was no opposition to_the zoning ap- pl^cation at the public m ting held in council chambers Monday. Mayor Eileen Palmer welcomed the development, claiming that a McDonald's Restaurant would not only provide employment `for young people, but alos create a healthy competition in the fast- food trade. "The town should feel priviledged to br- ing in an industry like McDonald's," she said. "r understand there could be 70 employees at peak operation and it's a good job market for high school students that's lacking now. With McDonald's w may, increase that type of trade within the town limits." It is expected that both Becker's and McDonald's will construct buildings on the site in the next calendar year. The rezoning still requires a bylaw en- dorsed by council and final circulation.

Joanne Young fired by' Countboard of education CLINTON - After months of indecision, Joanne Young, the Exeter teacher suspended from her duties by the Huron County Board of Education as a result of her activities as an anti-nuclear activist, had her teaching contract terminated at a special meeting Nov. 26 in Clinton. The board said in a statement read following the unanimous decision that although an employee's priorities may dif- fer from the employer's, "in this cir- cumstance after considerable time and discussion, it is evident that Mrs. Young remains adamant in her course of action. The previous steps of progressive discipline and the decision of an impartial tribunal have not caused this teacher to alter her priorities in such a manner as to fulfill her duties. The Huron County Board of Education has therefore found it necessary to terminate her employment." Before the vote was taken, Tony Mc - Quail, a trustee of the board, stated that though he had taken part in anti-nuclear demonstrations, he had to consider his position as a member of the board. Mr. McQuail added that he hoped in the future other alternatives will be con- sidered in problems between the board and its employees and that. "posturing and personal convictions" would not create ir- reconcilable differences. Following the meeting Mrs. Young said that the Huron County Board of Education had "made it clear to me and the publiin general" that absence will be accepted For almost any reason but participating in a non-violent protest. She also differed with a recent arbitra- tion considered by the board in its decision which found her actions "insubordinate and in violation of her duties as a teacher." "I feel very strongly that I was perform- ing my duties as a teacher," she said. Mrs. Young said her next course of ac- tion, which had been delayed by jhe board's Nov. 5 decision to request pe sion from Bette Stephenson, Minister of Education, to fire the teacher, would be to file an appeal with the Board of Reference. There may also be a possibility of a civil action. Mrs. Young also said that because she feels there is little chance she will teach again, especially in Huron County, she will probably complete arrangements she has made to do volunteer work in Toronto and live on her pension of about $10,000. The ac- tivist also said she would continue to par- ticipate in demonstrations. Will address council on museum Municipalities in Huron County have been asked to forward their comments on a proposal to spend over $2 million to renovate the Huron County Pioneer Musuem in Goderich. After reviewing the contents of a feasibility study, county council endorsed a recommendation from its property com- mittee suggesting the county proceed with ambitious renovation plans to restore the museum at a cost of $2.1 million. The county said it would contribute $300,000 to the project each year fora five- year period. To raise the money, the mill rate would have to increase. County property committee chairman, Donald Johnston, will address Goderich town council at its December 10 session at 7.30 p.m. and answer any questions drith respect to the county's position on the musuem and feasibility study.
