the benefits of our K to 12 system,”
he said, noting other tools include
posters and advertisements that
emphasize the natural leadership and
passion that exists inherently in the
HPCDSB schools.
He said, “The one thing were are
trying to emphasize is the natural
leadership development that happens
in Catholic education. We are not
setting up separate leadership
programs in our secondary schools
because we believe that in Catholic
education our job is to develop the
skills and talents in all of our
students and so we call forth the
natural leadership abilities in all our
students.
“We also decided that if we expect
our communities to be informed
about the very successful Catholic
secondary schools that exist in our
two counties, than it is not sufficient
to merely publicize our very high
student achievement rates. We
advertise those because we are very
proud of the high rates, but we
decided it was also important to
publicize - in a more proactive way -
the other things we are proud of and
to tell our story about the high
quality schools we have that are built
on Catholic teachings,” said Parr.
He added, “We also know that we
need to be constantly looking at the
programming offered in our two
secondary schools and it needs to be
inviting, attractive and hopeful to all
of our secondary school students as
they make a choice as to what
system to continue their education
in.”
St. Anne’s will have a program
addition starting in September. “We
will be offering in hair styling and
cosmetology. This is a program that
has proven to be very popular in all
of the Catholic boards around us that
have offered it. It really does provide
to a sector of the population at St.
Anne’s - a new, a hopeful, and a
career oriented destination that
doesn’t currently exist at that
school,” said Parr, adding if it proves
successful at St. Anne’s the program
will start the following year at St.
Michael’s.

he agreed with Vodden who said that
North Huron and Central Huron
should discuss the issue.
“For those who aren’t aware of it,
North Huron has decided not to put
any material in it,” he explained.
“We’re paying for what we have
used. If Central Huron starts using
it, there’s a sliding scale of
percentage that would be used to
decide what we pay. We would pay a
proportional percentage of the costs
and more would be figured out when
it’s finally closed.”
The $35,000 doesn’t address
closing costs. Director of Finance
Donna White explained that every
year there is money left over from
what is budgeted and they have
acquired approximately $80,000 to
cover the closing costs.
“I think we need to look into this
and come up with a plan of action,”
Vodden said.
Councillor Archie MacGowan
agreed, stating that a peer review
might be in order if one hasn’t
already been done.
“We should send a letter to
Central Huron and see if they are in
the same mind,” he said.
Council agreed and staff was
directed to draft and send a letter
regarding their concerns.
Deputy-Reeve David Riach took
the discussion as an opportunity to
bring in the East Wawanosh landfill
site.
He said that while the issue is a
tender one, he wondered if the costs
of running the landfill site were
similarly too high.
“I wonder if we should have a
summary of costs in maintaining the
site and the ongoing costs
evaluated,” he said. “Is it worth
maintaining and is it cost effective to
maintain the site. “
Director of Public Works Kelly
Church said he was working on that
exact issue and would have numbers
on the cost of the landfill available
for council at a later date.

Continued from page 3asked them if they knew what asuperintendent of the Sunday School
did. There were many answers.
Some were that she told stories
found in the Bible, planned activitiesfor them and saw that they hadsnacks. The children went down to
Sunday school along with their guest
speaker, Jane Hoggart and Daisy.
Jane and Daisy visit retirementhomes and nursing homes. Thescripture was from John 20: 24-29.
Rev. Clark’s message to the adults
was “Blood, it’s in you to give.” We
can save others by being a blood
donor. It is in us to give. Jesus gave
His blood for us. There are many
stories of giving. Rev. Clark told two
stories about this. A man saw a street
person who looked very hungry. He
gave him his sandwich and went on
his way. Another story was the video
of the policeman seeing a street
person without shoes in the winter
and went to a store and bought the
man a pair of shoes and socks to
keep his feet warm. It is in us to give
and be compassionate.
It is sad that we are often surprised
when someone cares. We often fear
things like Thomas in the scriptures
feared that Jesus had not risen and
that he would not believe until he
saw the scars on Jesus’s hands and
side. In crisis we are like Thomas.
We are full of fear and doubt. When
in crisis there is always another door
that opens. We try not to open other
doors because of fear. When we
close one door, another opens. Faith
in the midst of a crisis opens doors
and God will see us through.
The hymn, “You tell me that the
Lord is risen” was followed by the
receiving of the offering, the
offertory response, “What Can I
Do”, the offertory prayer, the prayers
for the people, silent prayers and the
singing of The Lord’s Prayer. The
last hymn, “All The Way My SaviourLeads Me” was sung followed by thecommissioning and benediction and
the singing of the response “Go Now
in Peace”.
Jane Hoggart thanked the children
and the congregation for their
donation to St. John Ambulance. It
will go to help train other dogs for
the same work. The Sunday school
collected dimes for this donation.
Everyone was invited for coffee andtreats and fellowship with oneanother.Church thanked for donation to St. John Ambulance
