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 died Thursday in Exeter. Derry Boyle, former Exeter mayor dies 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. who is the president of the Ontario Association of Ci cer Colleges. "We have an indus that is 126 years old."

Cep- tralia Intern tiona _ r ge feplaces 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.

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.

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- �_.. • • , , • ! •!tom ' - _ . .

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 '''Please see Town, page two..
