Woodley fills deputy reeve seat
GRAND BEND - To fill the va-
cancy on village council after
George Kadlecik's death, Bruce
Woodley, a seven-year member of
council, was sworn in as deputy
reeve at a special part of the regular
meeting Monday night:
Kadelick passed away July 6 after
a long battle with cancer, leaving
his seat on council vacant. At the
meeting Monday night, the remain-
ing four members could not unani-
mously agree on how to choose a
replacement so reeve Bob Sharen
asked for nominations from the
present council to fill the deputy
reeve's chair. Woodley received the
only nomination.
Councillor Shirley Mitchell
asked for an abstention from voting
and Woodley received a vote from
the remaining members of council,
which then left Woodley's seat on
council vacant.
Sharen said council didn't have to
fill the seat right away, but had
three options to find a replacement.
The first was to hold an election,
the second was to appoint the run-
ner-up from the previous election
and the last was to outright appoint
someone.
Sharer' and Woodley didn't think
having an election was the right
way to go because the village is so
far over budget right now and an
election would be too costly. They
also said it wouldn't be fair to
bring the new clerk in an election
right away. The clerk was hired last
week to replace former clerk '
Dianne Mollard.
Former reeve Harold Green, who
was in attendance at the meeting
questioned why the council didn't
want to have an election to fill the
vacancy.
"I bet you $100 that no one from
the previous council will ever get
that opening," said Green. Sharen
then told Green he was out of or-
der.
Woodley suggested council place
an ad in the two locals papers to
fill the vacancy, and to make it
known the position has to be
filled.
Mitchell then passed a letter sug-
gesting council fill the vacancy
with the runners-up from the previ-
ous election because it was only
seven months into the three-year
term.

Tulip -trampling
proves expensive
EXETER - "Tiptoeing through
the tulips is reserved for Tiny Tim"
was Judge RGE Hunter's comment
in sentencing three people who
pleaded guilty to mischief in Exeter
provincial court on July 11. The
trio had done $540 damage by
tramping through the flower bed in
front of the library on May 9.
Mike Fred Smith, Huron St.,
Exeter, Patty Bierling, now living
in Listowel, and Mary Ann Kenny,
Main St., Exeter, admitted drinking
too much at the time, and didn't
feel they alone were responsible for
all the damage.
Each was fined $100, placed on
probation for six months, and or-
dered to make restitution of $180
to the town within six months, at
a rate of $30 per month.
Five people pleaded guilty to
BACs over the legal limit.
Milton Webb, Grand Bend, was
stopped on Decernber 26 after po-
lice observed a vehicle that went
off the road twice, and wandered
across the centre line along High-
way 81 in Stephen township. Two
breath samples gave readings of
100. He was fined $650 and had
his licence suspended for 12
months.
Glen Stewardson, Crediton, was
found to have counts of 190 and
200. Police had received a report of
a vehicle being driven erratically in
Exeter on April 15. As the accused
had a previous conviction on the
same charge, he was sentenced to
14 days in jail' and a recommenda-
tion that the time be served under
the temporary absence program
which means a person may work
during the day and return to jail at
night. Stewardson's driving privi-
leges were suspended for two years.
Breath samples taken from Julie
Tieman, Exeter, after she was ap-
prehended on Stephen sideroad 20-
21 on April 30 gave readings of
160. She was handed a $650 fine
and a 12 -month driving prohibi-
tion.
Daniel Dawe, RR2 Crediton, and
Christopher J. Ingram, Hensall,
also were each fined $650 and for-
bidden to drive for a year. Dawe
was picked up in Stephen township
on April 29 and had a BAC of 140.
Ingram failed the ALERT after be-
ing stopped by police on June 4 in
Usborne township. His BAC was
150.
Donald Claus, Huron Park, was
fined $100 for possession of a cigar-
ette with cannibus resin. He had
been a passenger in a car searched
on June 3 in Usbome township.
Eugene M King, Stephen town-
ship, was sentenced to a total of 90
days in jail. He pleaded guilty to
possession of narcotics and to
breaking a probation order to be of
good behaviour and keep the peace.
The probation had been ordered on
June 12, 1987, following a convic-
tion and $2,000 fine for unlawful
trafficking in narcotics. The judge ,
recommended that the sentence be
served under the temporary absence
program.
Karl Eric Brunner, Hensall, was
fined $150 for causing a disturbance
behind the Hensall Hotel on No-
vember 24, 1988.

Mitchell's suggestions were re-
jected.
Council then passed a motion to
run the ad in the papers to say they
will be accepting applications until
July 28 and will decided at that time
how to fill the vacant seat.
Youth sentenced

fenders' court here Wednesday to
three years in secure custody on

but I think at this time of the year

Sharen then reminded Mitchell it
would only cost $5,000 if they
didn't put any cars in -the lot.

into town so I think they would be
