Huron County Sunday.
The first crash happened shortly
before 2 p.m. northeast of
Goderich.
Police say a car travelling east on
Amberley Road between Gibbons
Line and Beecroft Line was passing
another vehicle when it collided
with a westbound motorcycle car-
rying a passenger.
The motorcycle passenger, Maria
Vandekolk, 61, of Howick Twp. died
at the scene.
The driver of the motorcycle,
Gerardus Vandekolk, 59, also of
Howick Twp., was flown to hospital
in London where he died from his
injuries.
The 67 -year-old Mississauga
woman driving the car was cut
from the wreckage and taken to
hospital with minor injuries.
In the second crash, a motor-
cycle carrying a passenger col-
lided with a pickup truck in an
intersection south of Exeter
around 10 p.m.
Police say a motorcycle travel-
ling south on London road was
approaching the intersection at
Crediton Road when an east-
bound pickup truck towing a
cargo trailer turned left into the
path of the motorcycle. The
motorcycle became wedged
between the pickup and
the trailer.
The driver of the motorcycle,
Don Horwood, 62, of London died
at the scene. His passenger, Donna
Horwood, 59, also of London, was
taken to hospital with major
injuries.
The driver of the pickup, a
57 -year-old Wingham man, was

Huron County Library receives accreditation
Submitted by Huron County
Library Board
The Huron County Library
Board is pleased to announce
that for the first time, the Ontario
Public Library Guidelines Moni-
toring and Accreditation Council
has awarded a five-year accredi-
tation status to the Huron
County Library. The Huron
County Library system and
branches: Alice Munro (formerly
Wingham), Bayfield, Blyth, Brus-
sels, Exeter, Goderich, Hensall,
Howick, Kirkton and Seaforth
have all been approved for
accreditation under the Ontario
Public Library Guidelines. Clin-
ton Library did not meet the
minimum standards due to
issues relating to accessibility at
the branch and therefore will not
receive accreditation.
"Receiving this accreditation is
a significant achievement for our
library system," says Jim Fergus-
son, Chair of the Huron County
Library Board. "It shows that
wherever you live, rural or
urban, you can have access to
high quality services in cost-
effective ways. By providing
access to free resources, libraries
function as a great equalizer in
our communities. Huron County
can be proud of the fact that, as
demonstrated through the
accreditation process, the library
system does this for its
residents?'
Library systems in Ontario are
not required to engage in this
rigorous process, which involves
on-site reviews and external
accreditors, to ensure that both
the system and the individual
branches meet standards for
providing library service in
Ontario.
"It's not a mandatory program,
but the five-year accreditation sta-
tus effectively demonstrates that
the Huron County Library is work-
ing well,"according to CEO,
Meighan Wark. "In addition to veri-
fying policies and processes,
accreditation speaks to the plan-
ning, monitoring and continual
program improvements that are
undertaken on an ongoing basis

The second meeting of the
Wawanosh Pollinator 4-H club was
held on July 30, 2015 at 7:00 pm at
the Jeffersons' home. As members
were arriving they were asked to
think of a club name. Once all
members had arrived Vice-presi-
dent Jaxson led the club in the 4-H
pledge and then in Roll Call which
was: "Name something you could
do to help a pollinator survive in
the environment they live in."
Members gave a variety of answers
like plant a pollinator garden and
simply to not use pesticides to kill
them. Maisy then read the minutes
from meeting 1.
Afterwards Leader Mary Ellen
had the club think of some differ-
ent animals around the house that
pollinate. The club completed a list
and then went outside to find those
pollinators and some that were not
thought of. The club returned
inside and read about the habitat of
bees. Leader Eileen split members
into groups of two and had them
do a radio newscast about different
pollinators like moths, flies, bee-
tles, and more.
Once everyone did their radio
newscast the club stepped out-
side to plant different plants in
pots to attract a variety of pollina-
tors. Members finished planting
their pots and returned inside

where Jaxson reminded the mem-
bers of the Home Activity to go for
a walk and take pictures of polli-
nators. A few ideas were given for
a club name but the club decided
to wait until next meeting to vote.
Jaxson closed the meeting with
the motto and the club enjoyed
snacks brought by Justin.
The next meeting will be Tuesday
August 4, 2015 at 7:00 pm at the
Wingham Community Garden.
