Georgetown Council Backs Library Cutoff For Esquesing Students
Georgetown council supported the library board’s decision to cut Esquesing students from library access after Esquesing council failed to act at the last meeting. The library sought 5 000 dollars in funding, with tax support debated. Mayor Joy Gibbons attended, urging tax input to cover library services, while councillors discussed public cost sharing for arenas and a swimming pool amid municipal funding talks. Also noted, Perka of Don-Mar-Lynne won five points toward his German Shepherd’s breeding championship at the Sportsmen’s Dog Show in Toronto, outpacing an American and Canadian champion. Kobi-Grand Wachter and other dogs from Mont Blanc Kennels were shown, with Kobi taking First Senior Puppy Dog.
