Home My WebLink AboutThe Times Advocate, 2006-05-10, Page 3Wednesday, May 10, 2006 Exeter Times—Advocate 3 Speed initiative HURON — The Huron OPP and Huron Road watch will be providing a community speed sign at designat- ed areas known to have aggressive drivers and speeders. The sign will be located in the community for two days allowing plenty of warning for aggressive dri- vers. OPP officers in Huron County will then be out in full force with specific emphasis on seat belts, alcohol and aggressive driving. The first initiative will be May 17- 19 in Dashwood. According to National Traffic Safety, speeding is one of the most prevalent reported factors associat- ed with crashes. Speeding reduces the time drivers have to avoid crashes and lengthens stopping distances, increasing both the likelihood of crashing and the severity of the crashes that do occur. Speeding is a factor in 31 per cent of all fatal crashes affecting many Canadians' lives every month, but also the economic cost to society which is in the billions each year. Panther profile EXETER — On Friday a hypnotist came to South Huron. Nothing beats seeing my fellow classmates making themselves look ridiculous. Or being made to look ridiculous, depending on your opinion of hypnosis. Needless to say, it's a skill I would certainly like to learn. I doubt it'd help me land a job or make friends, but it would be a cool party trick. Don't freak out if you missed this highly entertaining event, there's plenty more in the pipeline. The first is the school play, "Romeo and Juliet." The cast and crew of this magnificent pro- duction have been working hard, and their efforts will no doubt be evident. They are perform- ing from Tuesday night until Friday night this week. Tickets (if there are any left) can be bought in the Main Office or from Village Vines for $7. The action starts at 7:30 p.m. Just for Chuckles comes the day after "Romeo and Juliet," on Saturday. There are five comedians performing at this utterly hilarious night of comedy. Tickets are $15 and can be snagged from SHDHS's office or from Curves for Women in Exeter. It's well worth it, especially if you're the type that doesn't smile much. And of course a reminder that Relay for Life registration forms can be picked up from the main office or downloaded online at amdsb. ca/SHDHS/relayForLife/ MATTHEW MINER PANTHER PROFILE South Huron District High School named its two most recent students of the month April 28. Grade 12 student Ann Simmons, second from left was nominated by Lori Black and whose role as a mentor to other students has been positive and successful. Grade 10 student Stephanie Talbot was nominated by Paul Colbourne as the March student of the month for making an extra effort at her homework which resulted in a good amount of growth and improvment in her course. Also pictured are School Council member Susan McGregor, left and principal Jeff Reaburn.The students of the month awards are sponsored by the School Council. (photo/Pat Bolen) PET ADOPTION BULLETIN Huron OSPCA (Ontario Humane Society) HUGO Hugo is a male, neutered, domestic shorthaired cat. He is around 1 year old and just a lovely boy. He is presently fostered in a home with two adults and always wants to be with one or the other. If you relax in a chair for a few moments, expect Hugo to jump right up and be with you. He really enjoys being petted. Hugo loves to play with balls of yarn, ping pong balls and stuffed mice. He is a very powerful, muscular cat. He is meticulous about cleaning himself and is very tidy around the litter box. He certainly would be a welcomed addition to any cat lover's home.
