Rebo . s Centralia International
College, 200 foreign students are
expected to arrive in Huron Park
in January. Over 40 jobs created.
By Fred Groves
T•A staff
HURON PARK - The doors of
Centralia College will re -open in
January.
Friday morning, Huron MPP Paul
Klopp announced that a multi-
disciplinary school offering dis-
tance education would have several
classes in January.
The new educational facility will
be called Centralia International
College and according to its pres-
ident Dr. George Lewis, full-time
enrolment at the residential college
could reach 575 students, including
500 international students in its
first year.
Perhaps the best news about Fri-
day's announcement was that up to
40 new jobs will be created in
teaching, administration and main-
tenance.
The college is owned by the On-
tario Development Corporation and
it will be leased to Centralia Inter-
national College for 10 years with
another 10 -year option.
"For a number of you this is a
new concept," said Paul Kitchin
Former mayor Derry Boyle

EXETER - Clarence (Derry)
Boyle passed away last week, leav-
ing the town without any living for-
mer mayors.
Boyle first took a seat at the Exet-
er council table in 1964, filling a
vacant councillor's position. The
very next year, he ran for reeve and
won the seat which he htld until
1976. For the next two years, he
served once more as a councillor,
and ended his municipal politics ca-
reer as mayor in 1980. ,
"Certainly his ambition was to be
mayor of the town," said current -
mayor Bruce Shaw. "He had the
respect of his community, and that's
gam„
Shaw said he remembers Boyle
well for his outspoken manner at
council, and for being quick to
form an opinion on most issues.
Shaw said it was evident Boyle
always thought a great deal about
Exeter as a community.
"In his own way he always pro-
moted the town," said Shaw.
Boyle was also well known for
his support over the years for minor
athletics, serving as a coach for
both baseball and hockey teams.
Boyle passed away Thursday at
South Huron Hospital. A funeral
was held Saturday morning at the
Hopper Hockey funeral home.

Centralia College of Agricultural
Technology which closed its doors
last year.
"A year -and -a -half ago there was
some heat. We had to make some
tough decisions," said Klopp. "The
tradition as Centralia as an educator
will continue."
When CCAT closed its doors for
the last time, there were about 100
students. The new college is ex-
pected to have double that amount
in January.
Lewis said after two -and -a -half
years it could expand to as many as
700 students and about 125 of those
would have to be billeted in local
homes.
Although the new college will
provide primarily business courses
at first to the foreign students, other
programs which could be offered
are food management, agricultural
technology, truck driving and even
possibly aircraft maintenance.
"This facility has excellent equip-
ment already in place," said Lewis.
"I'm pleased to see you're car-
rying on some of the same cours-
es," said Stephen Township reeve
Tom Tomes.
The new college will serve as a
new technology transfer centre in-
cluding agricultural technology be-
tween North American businesses,
government research centres and
emerging market economies.
"Some of our programs arc very
exciting. We just signed a contract
with 25,000 engineers in 'Vietnam.
We'll be bringing each of them here
for three months," said Lewis.
He said that the majority of the
students will be at the college for
two years and the first year will be
taught English. -
Kitchin said there are over 1,200
private educational institutions
across Canada and Lewis pointed
out that international education
generates $1.5 billion in Canada.
Centralia College will be mar-
keting courses to students living in
such countries as China, India,
Mexico, Pakistan, Bangladesh,
Laos and the Socialist Republic of
Vieytam.

Pryde Boulevard will soon

T' e through street has been Iowaited in town
EXETER - As it appeared last week, a deep
trench crisscrossed with various pipes, it didn't look
like it would be a street ready to build 14 new hous-
es on in a couple of weeks. But according to Exeter
developer Jack Taylor, the latest stretch of Pryde
Boulevard will be just that in a few days.
The 14 new buildable lots will also flank an im-
poctant stretch of roadway for all town residents, the
final connection of Pryde Boulevard from Sanders
Street to Huron Street.
"Everybody wants it. Town council wants it,"
said Taylor.
Although once a contender for the town's second
bridge across the river, Pryde Boulevard is no long-
er listed on future plans as a north/south connection.
Eastern Avenue is now the likely route for such traf-
fic, although expected to be years in the future.
Under his development agreement, Taylor is pay-
ing for the extension of all services along the street,
including water, sewage, storm sewers, gas and. --
electric lines. He plans to build homes on the4ots
himself through his Stoneyridge Developments
company.
Interestingly, the new sewer line will, allow the
flow of sewage along Pryde to be reversed through
the new interceptor line bored north under the'Aus-
able River earlier this year. It will free up sewer
line capacity along Huron Street to allow future de-
velopment in that area.
Another 28 -unit townhome project to the south of
Pryde Boulevard is on hold, said Taylor. That de-
velopment will have to wait until the town can add
sewage capacity to its, treatment system, likely
through the construction 1pf a new treatment plant.
Jack Taylor of Stoneyridge Developments was down in the trenches Wednesday after-
noon supervising the final touches on a sewer line extension that will see Pryde Boule-
vard connected to Huron Street. Visible at top right is Pryde Boulevard as it passes
through Sanders St. ^.
Vote on Town Hall plans- Monday
The three-phase plan means a new library will have to wait
By Adrian Harte
T -A Editor
EXETER - Town council will be asked
Monday evening for a decision on whether or
not to proceed with renovations to
the Old Town Hall.
Architects will be. presenting plans
selected by the mayor's committee
as the best option for face-lifting the
Main Street and Sanders corner over
the next few years.
The Public Library will have to
Ivait, however, until funds allow an
addition to be extended onto the
back of the town hall - allowing the
present library, to be either de-
molished, or converted into an out-
door meeting area behind the li-
brary's facade.
Mayor Bruce Shaw said a Simcoe
architect's proposals were selected
by the committee from three pres-
entations.
"We discussedthemerits of each of them,
and we agreed this guy's was the best," said
Shaw, noting that C. Ventin has as his -ere-

dentials the work on the Clinton Town Hall
and the St. Thomas City Hall.
Ventin then offered the committee a choice
of four sub proposals.
Plans that called for the renovation
of the library into a larger building
were rejected mainly due to the cost
of installing a second handicapped ac-
cess elevator. A plan to convert the
old police station into a library was
also dropped.
The finer choice calls for three
phases of construction: the first to
renovate the Old Town Hall into a
municipal office building, the second
to build a new library onto the back
of the hall, and the third to complete
the public meeting area and land-
scaping.
The architect may be asked to
slightly revise his plans to angle the
library acroli the property, allowing a
