A public meeting was held at the Zurich Community Centre to explain the Huron Elgin London Project (HELP), which involves 14 municipal- ities, including South Huron, Bluewater, Lambton Shores, Lucan Biddulph and the City of London. The project will be implemented in phases over 20 years and will serve the entire region between lakes Huron and Erie. APRIL 13 • There has been a flurry of activity in Exeter's business community in the last few weeks. There is a large hole at the corner of Main and Sanders streets after the move of Shoppers Drug Mart to the north end and the closure of Pizza Delight. At about the same time, El Veracruz closed, as did Country Health Foods. Before & After and Frayne's General Store, farther north on Main Street, are both closing this month. APRIL 20 • Programs and supports for people with develop- mental disabilities are woefully underfunded, and both Community Living workers and clients are pay- ing the price, say counselors with Community Living South Huron. Barb Dunlop from the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) said part of the problem at Community Living is provincial underfunding. APRIL 27 • Those in need of a doctor will be pleased with Dr. Maureen Farrell's arrival. Farrell opened up her full-time family practice at the South Huron Medical Centre at the beginning of April. Farrell previously worked in Exeter in South Huron Hospital's emergency department and with Dr. Philip Chan, but this marks her first full-time family practice. MAY 4 • Huron County OPP have charged two men with first degree murder after the remains of 42 -year-old Ronald Roy Sullivan of London were uncovered in a bush lot south east of Exeter. Ronald Douglas Kirk, 25, of London and Donald Wayne Earhart, 30, of no fixed address, are expected to appear in Goderich court by Friday. Police say both men are in custody on unrelated matters in other areas. MAY I I • It looks like a scene from the popular television show CSI -Crime Scene Investigation. Huron OPP, assisted by London OPP Forensic Identification Services, converge on a home in Usborne Township May 6 armed with a search warrant. • The extraordinary generosity of a former Exeter Villa resident has given new life to Trivitt Memorial Church and has allowed the church to make substan- tial donations to the community. Mildred Grimes, originally from Toronto, retired to the Exeter area in the mid-1980s, and eventually into the Exeter Villa in the early 1990s, where she lived until her death at 98 in December 2003. In her will, Grimes left a whopping $5 million to Trivitt, which had been facing financial challenges. As a result of Grimes' bequest, Trivitt's money wor- ries are a thing of the past. MAY 18 • South Huron homeowners will see a four per cent increase in their municipal taxes. The budget was passed at Monday night's council meeting, with only Coun. Jim Dietrich voting against it. Coun. Pete Armstrong was absent. This year's budget sees the municipality collecting $3,697,000 from taxpayers, up four per cent from last year's. MAY 25 • Council has given the approval needed for the Hensall District Co-op to make expansions and improvements to its Main Street gas bar. Changes will include the addition of a self serve gas bar island; the movement of the propane facility to the southwest line of the property; a 650 square foot build- ing containing two public washrooms, an office and vending machines; improved lighting; improved entranceways to deal with traffic congestion; and the movement of the Hensall Co-op sign closer to Main Street on municipal property. Major changes will be made in 2005-06 to try boost- ing province -wide success rates in the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT), a standard- ized Grade 10 assessment that's required for high school graduation.
