Strang has been with South Huron since amalgama- tion in 2001 and before that worked for the former Usborne Township as clerk. In a letter to council, Strang said, "I have enjoyed my work as municipal clerk and there has seldom been a day that lacked interest or inspiration. I have had the pleasure of sharing many council meeting hours with some of the brightest and most respected members of our community and I have benefited over the years from the wisdom of these accomplished individuals." In a press release issued Monday, council accepted Strang's retirement "with mixed emotions and wished her a long and happy retirement." South Huron will begin looking for Strang's replace- ment over the summer. Clarification The Times -Advocate was given incorrect infor- mation last week in reporting on the amount raised at the fifth annual VON Hike for Hospice. The actual amount raised was $3,500. The T -A regrets the error. 41444 411 '43 ardenersrt Choice On Highway 83 2 miles west of Exeter 519-237-3389 LONG WEEKEND GIANTe-4'4,; PERENNIAL SALE `4 20% OFF ALL MENIALS y s We carry a large selection of perennials, vegetables, annuals, 4 14 hanging pots, patio planters, shrubs, trees etc. Mon. - Fri. 9-8 Sat. 9-5 Sun. 10-4 POLICE BRIEF Suspect charged after 35 items stolen EXETER — The Huron OPP received 16 calls May 2 overnight, of unlocked vehicle in Exeter that had been entered.
