•Only about 3,000 people showed up for the highly -touted Grand
Bend Air Show, not the crowds of 50,000 the organizers hoped for.
High ticket prices, the division between Centralia and the Grano
Bend Beach, and the lack of a premier acrobatic event were alt4ist-
ed as possible causes for the disappointment.
•The sometimes controversial final Shoreline Management Plan was
being released by the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority.
The document had been toned down from its original drafts into
more of a reference guide for property owners and local municipal-
ities with lakefront jurisdictions.
•Hay Township decided that its new municipal building would be
constructed in Zurich, beside the existing building. If all went
well, it was hoped construction would start in the fall (it didn't).
•Another two-week reprieve was arranged to keep the South Huron
Hospital emergency room open. The hospital insisted that the
problems with the doctors was more a concern of the Ministry of
Health.

•The local jobless rate was listed at 12.2 percent, but local officials
at the Canada Employment Centre were saying that the figure
couldn't be right. Laura Overholt at the Centre said unemployment
that high should have been causing more visible problems in the
community.
•Even though the Town of Exeter managed to cut its property taxes
two percent, ratepayers were still being hit with a two percent in-
crease on the tax bill because of school board tax hikes.
*Glen Hayter was organizing a petition to oppose Hay Township's
decision to locate its new municipal office in Zurich. He argued
the new office should be outside the village in the township.
•Exeter council passed`ij„"pooper scooper" bylaw, requiring dog
owners to pick up after their dogs on town streets. Other council
members wondered how it would be enforced.
June 15
•The Huron -Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board got a $2.9
million grant from the province to build a new high school in Clin-
ton. This announcement came only weeks after negative public re-
action to a proposal to share the Clinton high school between stu-
dents from both separate and public boards.
•A $3 million pipeline was announced to be started in May 1995 to
supply Exeter with a lake water supply for 20 years of growth in
the town. A joint agreement between Exeter and Stephen Town-
ship made the,pipleline plans possible.
•The Grand Bend OPP opened their new police station in the village,
renovated from the former Liquor Store. Police said special fea-
tures were incorporated into the station, particularly how in-
toxicated prisoners would be handled.
June 22
•Exeter and Wingham public schools weren't going to be benefitting
from $I million in funding for Junior Kindergarten in the county.
The program would be on hold for another year at those schools
due to a lack of space..
•Quick actions of a neighbour and.local firefighters saved the life of
a Centralia woman. Elaine Spurn fell into a well, and was rescued
by neighbour Dave Pear.
•Hensall council was still considering putting a noise bylaw into its
books, as a result of complaints from residents. However, if
passed, council wondered how it would be enforced.
June 29
•South Huronfl-Iospi�al posted a $50,408 deficit for the year, mainly
due to payments ade to doctors 'to keep the emergency room
open. A previous surplus the hospital had was wiped out.
•The annual Ailsa Craig Turtle Races were in jeopardy, but were
given the go-ahead by the Ministry of Natural Resources. Organiz-
ers had been concerned that regulations prohibiting the taking of
wild turtles would be used to put a stop to event.
•A picnic area just south of Grand Bend were put up for sale as the
Ministry of Transportation said the 14 acres on Highway 21 were
just too expensive to maintain.
