Exeter Mayor Derry Boyle said he was leaving the loc'al political scene with mixed emotions when he spoke to about 50 people at McGillivray Continued from front page their work in putting in the waterline. Parrott took special in- terest in the senior pupils of McGillivray Central School who attended the ceremony. He told the children that "there is nothing more cherished than clean, pure water," and asked them to protect their water and their air. After Parrott, along with Wright, had turned the tap to send water through the township, he I invited the school children to each take a turn at the tap. He said he wanted this to be a day the children would remember. After the ceremony, employees of the Grand Bend pumping station took visitors on a tour of the Ausable Booster Station. :This pumping station is located on the main ;waterline between Grand Bend and Arva. It is only used a few months of the year to boost water on its ' way to London, but it is expected to be needed in the future. A reception and luncheon was held at the township ,garage after the morning's activities. the Thursday night ratepayers' meeting held at the rec centre. He said he had Served on council for the past 16 years and another 20 in various capacities and while he was sad at leaving, it was also with a great relief. "I've had enough, I'm tired," he said, adding that there was no possibility he would return. Picking up on a comment from Bruce Shhw who said he had recharged his batteries by sitting out of council for two years, Boyle said he wouldn't be able to get his batteries recharged. He thanked the ratepayers for their kindness and their criticism, but blasted those who had failed to attend. "I would like to have seen this • hall full," he said, noting that people should be con- cerned about their destiny and what lies ahead for the community. Retiring Deputy-Reeve Harold Patterson refused to take the platform at Thursday's meeting, although two other retiring members, Marilyn William- son and Ted Wright took the occasion to make some com- ments. Williamson, who com- pleted two years, said she found the work very in- teresting and worthwhile and lauded the BIA for the downtown beautification project, which' she termed the' most exciting thing to happen during her tenure. She expressed regret that the industrial committee of which she had been a member was not more productive and hoped the new committee would be more successful. Wright, completing 18 years on council, said he was taking a "holiday" from politics. "I won't say it is faprebwacek,,11, ,, but I won't say I'll b He termed his years on council as the greatest ex: perience of his lifetime, while noting it was also frustrating and resulted in many sleepless nights. He urged the new coun- cillors to be outspoken and advised them they would get out what they put in. The veteran council member said it had been en- couraging to see the growth of the town, terming it a good town, "as good as the people who live in it". While noting the town had developed through storm and sanitary sewer projects and street paving, he said there was still much to be done. He had some praise for the press as well, noting that the only time one had to fear the press was when he/she made an idiotic statement. "I wonder what type of council and government we'd have without the press," he said, after exclaiming, "Thank God for the 4 press". Wright paid tribute to the efforts of his wife and family in enabling him to serve the community for so many years. In his short address, Reeve Don MacGregor, acclaimed to office, said he feared that the county tax rate would be increased next year through an addition for the county health unit at Huronview and a new roads building at Auburn. Locally, he said he hoped the new court system would reduce the amount of police overtime. Also acclaimed to office were PUC members Murray Greene and Chan Livingstone, Greene outlin- ed the water department and said an increase is "highly unlikely". Greene said the average daily cost for water is 25 cents per customer. Livingstone reported on the hydro department, lauding the manager and staff for a "good managed, well operating system". He said it was unfortunate more people were not in- terested in running for a spot on the Commission. None of the local school board trustees were in atten- dance at the meeting. Accidents Continued from front pay being hauled by Dignan. That accident occurred on Highway 84 west of Hensall and damage was estimated at $1,000 by Constable Wilcox, There were three other ac- cidents also investigated by the Exeter OPP this week. The first was on Monday and involved vehicles driven by Laurie Swan, Clinton, and William Simmons, Exeter. They collided on concession 4-5 of Stephen at sideroad 20- 21 and total damage was listed at $2,000 by Constable Wilcox. On. Saturday, a vehicle driven by Darrell Postill, 11,11, 3, Clinton; struck a sign on County Road 2 at the junction of Highway 83 with damage being $50. Constable Frank Giffin investigated. The only injury of the week was reported in a colli- sion on Sunday when a vehi- cle driven by Richard Misener, Crediton, collided with a hydro pole and skidd- ed into a clothes line pole at 304 Algonquin Drive in Huron Park, Damage was listed at $5,- 000 by Constable Don Mason and Misener sustained minor injuries. Continued from front page Foundation, Thogenboorn explained he was proud of the town hall restoration, but he would like to hear the bells peeling out the time. Roach for the top The first of the two mayoralty candidates to speak was Don Cameron, completing his first term on council. He said he was run- ning because he believes he can do the job better than anyone else running at this time. He said there was a mood of uncertainty in Exeter that required council deliberate on the question of where the town was going. Cameron said that while the town wanted industry to broaden the tax base, there was concern on the limits of growth and the need to ex- plore the cost of growth or how much the town should expand. The teacher at Centralia College said he could provide the leadership need- ed to have a council that was responsive and willing to ex- plain itself. Under his guidance, he said ratepayers could expect ..fairness and attention to all groups, deeislonmaking that makes sense and can be defended, commitment to sound financial management and evaluation of every ex- penditure to ensure the town gets .value. Bruce Shaw, seeking to . return to 'head council After, a twolear holiday to get his batteries recharged, suggested voters should look at the accomplishments dur- ing his four-year term as mayor. He said the leadership provided by him was good, reasonable and sound and much was accomplished, such as the building of the rec centre and the develop- ment of the new official plan and zoning bylaws. "i know *not the job en- tails and I'm willing to accept the challenge,- he said, adding that experience sets him apart from the other candidate and there are issues such as seniors, growth and sewage treat- ment, confronting the' town that require that experience. While the high school prim. Opal suggested that it was cop-out to rely on one's record, to assess him the voters had to consider what he has done.
