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.

$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.

Setting up own reserve fund
USBORNE TOWNSHIP - Us -
borne councillors decided at their
regular March 7 meeting to estab-
lish and maintain in municipal cof-
ferS a reserve fund for fire equip-
ment. 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

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.
