News-Record,
Open Letter to the Ratepayers
of SS 6 Tuckersmitii and Area
Residents:
Following the burning of our
School, my husband received
many telephone calls expressing
regret that the building is now
in ruins. Until this (happened we
had no way of knowing your
deep affection for the
School. ■ .
I was hospitalized when
fire was set and although
news was kept from me until I
was stronger I. am sure the,sad
istic arsonists will gain even
more pleasure and satisfaction
from their actions when they
become aware of my shock'arid
unhappiness on receiving the
distressing news.
Last fall, a designer and in
terior decorator from Toronto
/visited SS 6 . Tuskersmith with
a view to restoring it. They
were over-joyed at finding this
type of School and promised to
make it a show-piece for us
and the community. Because of
other commitments this Centen
nial Year, it was planned to
start renovating the School in
1968 and on its completion to
hold a school reunion.-
We believe -that in addition
to sharing the loss of our school,
we in this section have failed to
assume our full responsibilities
to the school and to the people
ahead of us wlho made it pos
sible.
Since purchasing this school
last year’ we have tried to pro
tect it in every way other than
by installing night lights. The
Ontario Provincial Police and
nearby residents were alerted
to observe any trespassers* The
school bore private -property
signs,t yet it was broken into
•three times since March 1966,
including Hallowe’en when the
basemerit was set on [fire. The
OPP investigated and the Fire
Marshal was alerted.
Years ago When this School
was closed, the windows were
protected; however, at least
fifteen years ago when I was
■not a' section resident I heard
how much damage was being
done to the school and on in
vestigating at that time found
it Wide Open to (the public and
damaged extensively -in the
Flood of Memories
and the teachers through’ our
continued acceptance of the
wanton destruction to, a com
munity building over a period
of at least fifteen years. Our
lack of attention and respon
sibility have permitted this
property to be a meeting place
for vandals these many years.
When my husband managed
to temporarily bar these van
dials from entering the School
it suffered desecration by ob
scene writing on the outside
walls and its entrance was used
weekend after weekend after
weekend for a toilet as revenge
when they could not gain entry.
It is very regrettable that such
persons remain at large in our
midst.
From your comments, my
husband and I know you share
the lass of SS 6 Tuckersmith
School from its scenic setting
by the river. Also, we are dis
tressed for a society- that is
producing and nourishing an
ever-increasing number of
young criminals.
It would seem that these per
sons .will be curbed only when
the penalties for such .offenses
are sufficiently severe to deter
others so inclined. We appeal to
any of you who have the slight
est information that might lead.,
to the conviction of the,arson
ists of SS 6 Sahooi to contact
Constable Primeau, Seaforth
Detachment, Ontario Provincial
Police, telephone /527-0700.
This area in the, last
months has experienced
many such fires and
through the co-operation of .the
general public, our Police
Forces and Courts will these
criminals be restrained.
The stone bearing the school
number and date of 1895 has
on its reverse side an inscription
reading “In memory of Agnes,
wife of Caster Willis who de
parted this life Nov. 18/1863 in
the 43rd year of .her age . » . .”
Can any of 'the area residents
shed any light on (this inscrip
tion?
