Two convictions on traffic charges EXETER - JP Doug Wedlake handed down two convictions for driving infractions while presiding over Exeter court on March 7. Manfred Locrzel pleaded guilty to failing to stop for police, but not guilty to careless driving, after be- ing clocked at up to 160 kph on Highway 83 on December 31. The accused slowed after turning onto Concession 4-5, but ignored the police car's siren and activated lights until stopping at his resi- dence. Locrzel was found guilty on both counts, fined $128.75 on the first, and an additional S198.75 and a 30 - day licence suspension on the sec- ond. Court was told Locrzel, 17 at the time, has not been in Canada very long, and was panicked by the en - counter with the police. Don Oakman Rock, RR2 Grand Bend, pleaded guilty to two charges of disobeying a stop sign and fail- ing to stop. He changed his origi- nal plea from not guilty to guilty when the first charge was amended from careless driving. Rock was observed slowing to 10 to 15 kph on January 23 while turning left from Sideroad 20 in Stephen township onto Concession 2-3. He was pulled over by the po- lice officer. Thirteen minutes after first of- fence, the officer following the ac- cused saw Rock drive through a stop sign at County Roads 4 and 21. Rock was fined $53.75 on each charge, and given -6 demerit points. Set fire board .budget EXETER - The Exeter and area fire board recently approved their 1989 budget with expected expendi- tures of $207,825. The proposed budget is being submitted to the four participating arca councils for their stamp of ap- proval. Actual expenditures for 1988 at $293,171 were much higher than those anticipated for the coming year. A new truck was purchased in 1988. The difference between the Dan Meidinger Accounting & Financial Services Authorized agent for most trust companies Income Tax Returns Prepared Contact me today 235-0763 $293,171 fire board expenditures and the expected revenue of $316,825 is the Exeter portion only of $109,000 made up of $25,000 for hydrants, $4,000 for rentals and fire hall capital costs of S80,000. Included in the budget is an amount of $56,000 to be set aside each year for capital equipment pur- poses in the future. This item matches the capital forecast for a seven year period prepared by fire chief Gary Middleton. The Exeter and area fire board is asking some indication whether each municipality is in favour of contributing to a joint reserve fund or looking after this on an individu- al basis. The Exeter Firefighters Associa- tion will be allowed to advertise the 1944 pumper truck for sale. Pro- ceeds will be used to purchase equipment and furnishings for the new fire hall. Exeter council has passed a bylaw to provide for the participation of the Exeter and area fire department in Huron County Mutual Aid.

Previously, the money was paid to the Exeter and Area Fire Board in advance of capital purchas- es, but now the municipality will keep the reserves in its own fund until needed. Usbome approved the area board's S157,825 budget for 1989. Us- bome's share is $36.29 percent. Clerk Sandy Strang was instruct- ed to request a fret municipal.fire protection survey from the mini- stry of the so4citor general to de- termine the feasibility of acquiring fire protection services from sur- rounding municipalities for certain parts of the township rather than continuing to have the tntirk area protected by the Exeter anarea board. Provision will also be made in the 1989 budget to transfer $20,000 to a reserve fund for a new road shed. A number of grants and other payments were approved at the meeting. The township will provide a grant to Usbome Minor Ball of $1,250 al well as cover the cost of rolling, spraying and seeding other grassed area at the Thames Road Ball Park. Donald Cole will be approached to cut grass at the ball park this sea- son at the 1988 rate. Daniel Verbeke will be paid $100 for using his car for warmth and shelter while in attendance at the Kirkton waste disposal site during the 1988-89 winter season. A 1989 levy of $713 will be paid to the Upper Thames River Conser- vation Authority. The Exeter Agricultural Society was granted $250, and a $600 recre- ation grant will be paid to the vil- lage of Hensall. A public meeting will be held on April 18 at 1:30 p.m. in the ABCA boardroom to deal with a proposed plan amendment and rezoning of property owned by Norman Amos to permit severance of a house and lot from agricultural land, and ex- tend the limits of Kirkton to bring the residence within the village's ur- ban limits. The fine for reclaiming a dog found running at large was increased from 520 to 537.50 to cover the cost of a trip by the dog control of- ficer to pick up a stray. Dave Moore Fuels was awarded the tender to supply fuel to the mu- nicipality. His bid was the second - lowest of four received. Leyser Enterprises will be in- voiced $100, the cost of dumping a mixed load of demolition materials at the Kirkton landfill site which had to be separated by the dump control officer. Reeve Gerald Prout reported that Jake Hovius contacted him about cutting trees in the Willis farm bush. Estimated revenue is expect- ed to be $3,000. Council approved the arrangement, provided Blanshard township council also approves the deal. A draft tender for rental of space in the Weber farm shed was ap- proved. Two SHDHS students in Ottawa EXETER - Geof Poole, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Poole and Marnie Walker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Wacker are South Hu- ron District High School's, repre- sentative to Forum '89. They will be two of some 500 students from all parts of Canada participating in the Forum for Young Canadians 1989 program. Students selected for the Forum program take part in a number of interesting activities in the Nation's capital -- including actually sitting in the Commons and Senate cham- bers, talking to parliamentarians and senior public servants, and vis- its to government House and the Supreme Court of Canada. They will also participate in a mock Cabinet discussion of immigration policy, and take part in a staged de- bate on federal -provincial rela- tions. By the end of the week-long pro- gram,.. the students will have learned a great deal about the chal- lenges and complexities in the way their government operates. As well, and equally important, they will have acquired a better understanding of their fellow Canadians from across the land. Students rely on the support of local organizations to assist in pay- ing their fees for the program, and to help with travel costs not cov- ered by a grant from the Secretary of State. Geof and Marnie thank their parents, SHDHS, the Student Council and the Exeter Legion for their support. Stanley sets '8J remuneration VARNA Stanley township has pay goes to $13.08 ($12.52).
