As of Tuesday, ,the clerk - treasurers of Stanley, Zurich and Hensall reported the younger children is very important to her but stress- ed that education is an on- . going process. • Mrs. Noakes said her return to the educational system gave her a great respect for both the students andteachers of today. In Hay. township, Tony Bedard has announced he will seek a position on the township council. Bedard owner of the Towne and Country Bowling Lanes and restaurant and a resident of -Hay for ten years, said he is running because he, is extremely in- terested in the township. Acting on behalf of the people who have problems with the township is what he would do, Bedard said. Bedard has run for council on three previous occasions, winning a seat in the 1974. _ election. TONNY BEDARD no nominations had been received. Running against Herb Turkheim for the Huron County Board of Education seat representing, Hay township and the villages of Hensall and Zurich will be Mrs. Minnie Noakes of Hen- sall, a former reeve and councillor for the village. The mother of eight who will graduate with her high school honours diploma soon, following her return to school, said education has always been a concern of hers. She said the education of MINNIE NOAKES McKinnon has served on council for the past four • years and said "That's enough." Gelinas who has served on council since 1976 said he found it an interesting ex- perience but added "I think I started too late." Business pressures were the reason why he was not seeking re-election said Laporte, a six veteran of council. Haberer said he was still assessing his position and stated it was time other citizens in the community got involved in the running of the village. Haberer has served as reeve for four years and prior to that was on council for a two year term. Thiel,' a former reeve of the village who's been in- volved in community affairs for over • twenty years,' said he was undecided but that "He won't stand in the way for somebody who wants to enter municipal politics."

Following several com- plaints, the Zurich Recrea- tion, Parks and Community Centre Board has changed its fee structure for the operation of the bar at social events in the community centre. The Board had originally opted for a charge of $1 dollar per bottle of mix which groups renting the facility must purchase from the community centre. At the September council meeting, McKinnon said the dollar fee was in reality a corkage charge- which was the way most halls were operating. McKinnon told council the primary concern of people who wanted the hall was knowing how much they would be paying. The board ZURICH TAKES .INTERMEDIATE TITLE— The Zurich Intermediate boys took the team cham- pionship in their division -at the South Huron Public•School Cross Country meet held Thursday near Varna.

Staff photo agreed to change the per bottle charge to a flat rate of $50. He said the board felt the per bottle charge was a fairer way of doing things but they were willing to go along with what the people wanted. The new rate is still cheaper compared to hall charges at either Hensall or Exeter, McKinnon said. In other board news, Jake Peters was hired to assist Jerry Rader in the running of the arena once ice making is started. The Goshen street not run renewal continues to be a thorn in the side of council with vacations by the village's engineer and wet fall conditions hampering progress on the project. Laporte told council a digging up of a section of the drain showed a possibility of a mixture of cement and plastic pipesbeing used for the drain. Burns Ross the village engineer had said in August the cost replacing the drain from the intersection of the highway and Goshen street to the post office could cost $19,500. • Council felt the cost quoted was out of line and that the drain was operating satisfactorily. Thiel agreed the drain might be in need of some repair but it did not need to be totally replaced. • Both Thiel and Gelinas questioned why Ross who was the village's engineer when the Goshen was torn up a few years ago, had not told council at the time that the drain should -lie replac- ed.
