Sheppard told council this carni- val will see the number of tvents increased to 30, up from 94 last year. The first request was for the use of Municipal Drive as a location for the public snow sculpting contest. The new hydro substation, between the Works Building and the Fire Hall, means some sculptures will have to be moved to the south side of the Drive this year. Sheppard also asked to use the ball diamonds and soccer field for the Snow -Pitch competition, the use of Main Street for the annual parade, the use of Elmwood Street near Main Street for a new waiters' race and street animators, and use of the council chambers for the Hu- ron Country Playhouse Ladies Guild to hold another art show the last weekend of the Carnival. In addition, Sheppard wanted per- mission to construct an events ban- ner on the south side of the munici- pal building for use during the show. He wondered if the streets and sidewalks could be cleaned and cleared to the beach in time for the Camival. All of Sheppard'srequests were granted by council, subject to the usual conditions, that everything is left the way they found it. Some of the new events this year, besides to the street animators, (jugglers magicians etc.), will be a kids talent show and a public wed- ding on top of a 20 -foot wedding cake made of snow. The 1990 Winter Carnival is scheduled for February 10-11 and 17-18. Beach cleaner Public Works' foreman Bud Markham told council it will cost about $17,000 to repair the beach cleaner and advised it should be done in the off season when parts might be available. He said Grand Bend's was the only beach cleaner in Southwestern Ontario not to have any repairs done in the last five years and it was about due. New councillor Dennis Snider said "it should be fixed and should be paid for out of the parking fund. After all it is just part of the cost your are going to run into in run- ning a beach resort". Cash bonuses Council, feeling in a Christmas mood, decided to pay full-time of- fice employees Tom Maier and Kam Durdin each $1,000, for their efforts above and beyond the call of duty and for putting up with a lot of inconveniences this year. Deputy reeve Bruce Woodley made the recommendation because New board chairman LONDON - Robert Kew of Dela- ware, new chairman of the Middles- ex County Board of Education, re- minded school trustees this week that education financing will con- tinue to rise and increase the burden of the local taxpayer. Speaking to the 1989-90 Inaugu- ral Meeting of the Board, Mr. Kew said the five main sources of pres- sure to increase budgets are infla- tion, increased wages, repairs and maintenance of physical plant facil- ities, Education Ministry initiatives requiring more staff and other re- sources, and an increasing school population. He said "While we must recog- nize and not exceed our financial limits, we must realize that those limits will have to increase. The 'trick will be to 'limit the increases and to choose wisely so that money will not be wasted." Referring to school curriculum, Mr. Kew said that children must be given the chance to use new tech= ..t nologies, particularly the computer. "The future of tomorrow will be a society where computer literacy will not be a convenience, but a ne- cessity." Recognizing that Canada is bilin- gual and bicultural, he said that children need the opportunity to learn the country's official second language in order to have a better understanding of things that are uni- quely Canadian. "There cannot help but be a benefit accruing to those who have opened their minds and lives to a second language and a second culture." He urged parents to take time to become involved in their schools, to ask questions and to demand an- swers. Mr. Kew was first elected to the Board in 1985 and this past year served as chairman of the Academic Affairs Committee. Christmas is...

Three accidents occurred on Tuesday, December 12. In the first, vehicles driven by Leonard Good, RR6, Goderich and Trevor Lans- bergen, RR 2, Zurich collided on Huron road 2, south of Zurich. The next mishap involved vehi- cles operated by Elsie Mathers, Grand Bend and Wesley Nelson, Stratford on Highway 81. The power of His love is everlasting. As we reflect and remember, Christ's message is forever. We take this joyous occasion to express our thanks to all of you. ShalomeHair Fashions London Rd. S., Exeter 235-0782 Vehicles driven by Joanne Price, Crediton and Marlene O'Brien, RR 2, Crediton were in collision on Huron road 4 in Crediton. On Monday, December 11, a ve- hicle driven by Terry Hodgins, RR 3, Parkhill collided with a stop sign on sidcroad 20 in Stephen township without damage to the vehicle. Thursday, a vehicle driven by Robin Leake of Exeter went out of control on Highway 83 and rolled over in the ditch. A passenger Patti Leake received minor injuries. On Saturday, a vehicle driven by Nancy Kcuhl-Francis, RR 3, Bay- field went out of control on Con- cession 2-3 of Hay township and struck a hydro pole. The local OPP detachment's RIDE program spot checks will be conducted throughout the arca in various locations throughout the festive season. he felt the two deserve the money for their dedication to the village and all the extra work they put in helping new clerk Wayne Tingle learn his job. They are the only staff left in the office with any background on most matters. Woodley also felt it was a good idea for the village to hire a Sum- mer Service Coordinator, who would be responsible and oversee all summer staff operations, and act soon to get "the best person possi- ble". Council felt it should do this as soon as possible but they were un- decided on the type of person they wanted for the job. It will be dis- cussed at the first meeting next year. Waste management meeting Barb Southcott, who was recently nominated by council to'be on the Sarnia/Lambton Waste Manage- ment committee, gave a brief report of her first meeting to council. The former councillor asked if it was possible to record the loads. taken to the landfill site this year and compare it to last year to see how much recycling is helping the capacity at the waste site. She said the Committee Wanted to see what could be done with waste reduction at a local level and what effect recycling is having. Reeve Bob Sharon said the fig- ures might not be accurate because of all the new condominiums that will open this year, which was fac- tored into last year's figures. No Lights yet Council was told that the Public Utilities Commission will not be able install the lights at the skating rink on the old river bed until sometime next year, because the. PUC cannot spare °the time right now. Council also accepted, with re- grets the resit nation of Pat Har- wood, Chairman of the Grand Bend and Area Recreation Committee, as she has taken a job in Oro Town- ship starting in January. A new chairman will be chosen. Not giving up Council received a letter from Kyle Harrison, who was recently passed over for the vacant council seat by Dennis Snider, who was nominated at the December 4 meet- ing by Woodley and councillor Shirley Mitchell. In the letter, Harrison said he contacted the Ministry of Munici- pal Affairs and told them he felt his application was not treated fairly by council, and said they erred in their nomination method at the Sep- tember 5 meeting. "It is my contention that had council followed proper procedure during that meeting, I would have been acclaimed councillor on that date," said Harrison in his letter. He advised council to seek speedy legal advice on this matter. Harrison gave council his appli- cation for the vacant council seat in August after council turned Harri- son down several times, his nomi- nation died on the floor. 3 Christmas Is For Sharing With fondest wishes for 2 health and happiness, g we send our friends and customers our sincere thanks.
