South Huron Surplus has strong opening
By Scott Nixon
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
EXETER — Nearly
one month after open-
ing South Huron
Surplus, owner Roland
Watterworth describes
business as "excellent."
South Huron Surplus
sells a wide variety of
end -of -the -line, mostly
new products: electron-
ics, computers, televi-
sions, stereos, tools,
generators, games and
musical instruments
are just a few of the
items offered.
Because the items are
end -of -the -line,
Watterworth says he
can sell them for about
one third the price they
would normally be.
Most of the products
for sale still have their
manufacturer's war-
ranties, he said. Most
of the items for sale are
imported and come
from places such as
California and Taiwan.
Watterworth, of
Clinton, is no stranger
to the business world.
He's been self-
employed for 20 years,
has owned Finnegan's
Restaurant in Grand
Bend for about a year
and is the former
owner of Best
Computers.
He decided to open in
Exeter because the
town was lacking a sur-
plus store, something
customers have told
him. Watterworth has
already noticed his
Main Street location
isn't big enough and he
hopes to expand to
three times the current
size in another location
in Exeter in the spring.
He adds he'll carry
any items the public
requests and he also
sells on EBay.
South Huron Surplus
opened on Exeter's
Main Street about a
month ago and already
has plans to expand.
The store sells a variety
of end -of -the -line prod-
ucts, including comput-
ers, televisions, stereos
and games. Pictured are

involvement of family
friends and community in
the programs.
Shirley Luther of the
Salvation Army with her
husband Eric as volunteer
pianist, led worship for
residents Tuesday after-
noon, bringing a good
message to start off 2005.
In the evening, Residents
enjoyed the sacred music
of The Gospel Singers of
Exeter and area. These
singers present a monthly
program for residents
throughout the fall and
winter.

afternoon with a good
turnout of family mem-
bers. Queensway wel-
comse family and friends

Attention: Crediton and Area Residents
Re: Proposed New Community Centre Facilities for the Crediton Area
As the operational costs continue to increase and the accessibility becomes increasingly limited at the
present facility, a group of concemed citizens are exploring the possibility of making modifications to
the former Stephen Township office building or replacing these buildings with a 2,000 square foot
(approximately) building. For this project to go ahead, the Committee needs your suggestions, comments
and input.
Please consider the following questionnaire and return it to the Municipality of South -Huron -Office at
322 Main Street South, Exeter, Ontario NOM 1S6 marked Recreation Department or drop off at
jordvs Gas -Bar in Crediton by the end of January 2005. Your anticipated co-operation is necessary and
appreciated.

❑ Yes 0 No 0 Unsure
Comments
2. If a new facility is deemed necessary, should it be a stand alone building or an addition to the existing
former Stephen Township Municipal Office in Crediton?
❑ Stand alone building 0 Addition to present building 0 Unsure
Comments
3. What events and activities would you use the proposed facility for now and in the future?
Comments
4. What group capacity would best suit the communities needs? Please indicate one choice.
❑ 50 - 100 0 100 - 150 0 150 - 200 0 Other ... Please state number
