The Goderich Signal - Star reported while the 2004 town budget increase has tentatively been set at 67 per cent, that could drop to zero depending upon the fate of the Judith Gooderham Pool. Jr. D. fran- chise SEAFORTH Despite some con- cerns that not enough money has been raised locally to fund a Junior D team's annual budget, 16 of the close to 25 people who attended an organizational meet- ing March 11 signed up to join an interim executive. The Huron Expositor reported organizer Jason Papple has been lead- ing a local effort to resurrect a Junior D team in Seaforth two years after the demise of the Seaforth Centenaires. Campground owners fight CLINTON — Area campground owners have vowed to contin- ue to fight despite a provincial govern- ment ruling that retroactive property assessments for 2003 be cancelled. The Clinton News - Record reported Gerd Keller, owner of the Old Homestead Campground, and Bob Szusz, owner of Kitchigami Family Campground, were part of a delegation to address Huron County council's committee of the whole. They asked the county to consider an annual fee system instead of a proposed property assessment schedule that could see campground fees increase as much as 30 per cent. Property vandalized SOUTH HURON — On March 17 at 10 p.m. OPP were called to a residence on Prince Arthur in Centralia over a break-in. The owner told police a neighbour spotted strange activity by his house that night at approxi- mately 9:15 p.m. He saw four people near the house and found the patio door had been forced open. The owner reported a Retired teacher acquitted GODERICH —A retired South Huron District High School teacher was acquit- ted in Goderich court March 12 for an assault against a student last March. Cook was charged after an incident at SHDHS when he threatened the student after removing him from a classroom where the student was one of a group throwing a chalk eraser. Justice Garry Hunter heard evidence that said after taking the student into the hallway, Cook told him that if he moved, he'd kill him, which was over- heard by another teacher. Cook was found guilty of threatening the student, but was granted an absolute discharge based on his absence of a crimi- nal record and his employ- ment as a teacher for 33 years. Cook retired in June. Package for farmers Continued from front page Steckle said the issue is not animal science, but political science. Steckle said the Canadian system leads that of the Americans, which does not include a tag system. He said the next step in animal identification will be through tracking DNA. The 30 -day comment period from the United States Department of Agriculture report ends April 6, at which time live cattle under 30 months may be allowed across the border. Steckle said letting cull cows across could still take a long time, though. "If the key to open the door were on our side, it would already be open," he said. Mastercraft cordless drill, green Mitre saw and a small quantity of alcohol had been stolen. A search of the area didn't turn up any leads to the break-in. If you can help solve this crime call the Exeter OPP office or contact Crime stoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS). SOUTH HURON — On March 18 at approxi- mately 10:30 a.m. OPP were contacted by family members of a residence on Elimville Line in Usborne ward of South Huron over property damage. The investigating officer learned the owner was away for a few days and family members were checking the resi- dence. Sometime between March 12 and March 18 someone stopped and threw eggs at the mailbox in front of the house and also the windshield of a vehicle sitting in the driveway. Further checking found the 911 sign had been removed from the house. If you can help solve this case call the local OPP or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

FT 1153.4 MI} Two-level Design Hides the Garage Plan H 2-3-712 This basement entry home has unique appeal, thanks to the placement of the garage doors to one side of the plan. This allows the garage itself to be disguised from the street. With its jogged wall, peaked roof and distinctive shuttered windows, the garage looks more like two separate rooms. Attention is drawn to the double front doors, where a dramatic arched entry offers protection from wind and rain. Stucco cladding, molded concrete details and a concrete roof add to the home's stately appearance. The foyer, which is open to the second level above, is filled with natural light from a huge arched window above. Doors lead from here to the garage on one side, a den on the other and the laundry room beyond. A large unfinished basement has room for two future bedrooms, a bathroom and a recreation room with a wet bar. Sliding glass doors open from the basement to a covered backyard patio. Upstairs, the main living area contains three bedrooms, a family -style kitchen and a large great room. Nine -foot ceilings throughout add to the feeling of spaciousness. An arched doorway leads to the corner kitchen. A second arch appears over a half -wall beside the dining area, which partly overlooks the foyer below. A large work island/eating bar with a built-in gas cook top is sure to inspire the cooks in the family. Next to the kitchen, the great room has a gas fireplace flanked by built-in shelves for audio visual equipment. French doors open to a large rear sundeck, providing added living space in summer. The master bedroom suite also has french doors opening to this deck, as well as two side windows for ventilation. The ensuite has a double vanity as well as a separate shower stall and soaker tub. Two secondary bedrooms share the main three-piece bathroom. A corner linen cupboard in the hall provides extra storage. This two-level home is 43 feet wide and 56 feet deep with 1,651 square feet of finished living space.
