Board were handed out at a board meeting in Dublin Monday night, concern was expressed by the Stratford trustees over the reduction from four trustees to three to be elected to the board for 1977 to represent the City of Stratford. Trustee Donald Crowley of Gadshill noted that the number of representatives will be un- changed, only the distribution changed to seven from Perth County and seven from Huron County. (Presently on the board there are eight from Perth and six from Huron.) Stratford trustee Ron Marcy was especially concerned that in Stratford, with representation based on assessment, it is on residential assessment only with commercial not added in. He considered this unfair compared to rural areas where it is on farm assessment, not residential only. Director of Education John Vintar proposed that a resolution he sent to the Minister of Education to show how the board members were reacting to the • impact of the redistribution. When Howard Shantz of Stratford made a motion that the resolution be sent, John O'Drowsky of Si. Marys said, "This is a great injustice here. I would make a motion to table the motion until the next meeting on September 27 and name a committee to take time to study this carefully." A committee composed of Ronald Marcy, Howard Shantz, Ted Geoffrey of Zurich, Business Administrator Jack Lane and John Vintar was named to make recommendations for a resolution to the Minister of Education. Mr. Marcy suggested that Mr. Lane contact the regional office of education at Waterloo to find out if the additional money that is 'to be available from the ministry for school boards can be used for an industrial arts and home. economics addition at St. Michael's School, Stratford. Mrs. Jean Stapleton was hired as a teacher of Grades 5 and 6 at St. Patrick's School, Dublin, effective September 1. Mr. Shantz and Mr. O'Drowsky were named to an ad hoc com- mittee to arrange a presentation to the two superintendents (Joseph 'rokar and Alexander Easton) who have left the ad- ministrative staff. They are to buy a gift for another retiring employee (not named). Mr. and Mrs. Ted Geoffrey of Zurich and Mr. and Mrs. Michael Connolly of Kippen will attend the 25th anniversary of the in- corporation of the Catholic Parent-Teachers Association convention to be held in St. Catharines on October 1, 2 and 3. Fuel oil tenders were received from five companies ranging in price from the highest at 39.0 penis to the lowest, which was accepted, that of B.P, at 34.4 cents, for 1976-77 school term. Dublin Trustee Joseph Looby and Seaforth trustee Francis Bicknell were the only two trustees to vote against accepting the tender of Dave DeVries of Seaforth as custodian at the hoard office in Dublin from September 1, 1976 to September 1, 1977, at the same salary he received last year of $4,000. Mr. Looby objected on the basis a lower tender of $3,000 was made by Frank Williams of Dublin. Mr, Looby was told by the personnel committee that Mr. Williams, who has a full time job with the board as custodian of St. Patrick's School and the Kin- dergarten Room, had not given his tender on the proper tender form confirming his duties pertainingto the work as had the other two applicants, as well the committee members felt he would not have sufficient time to do the work at, the board office with his full-time work at the school. Mr. Crowley presented a copy of the proposed agenda for the official blessing of the addition to St, Patrick's School at Kinkora on October 31, when Bishop Sherlock of London will be present. A comic situation developed when Mr. Crowley asked the board members to give approval to the wording on a plaque for the school which the Stratford ar- chitects wished to donate to the board. Mr. Crowley had a copy of the wording on the proposed gift listing the names of the present More trees along the north bank of the Ausable in Riverview Park have been cut down and the matter resulted in considerable debate at Monday's meeting of RAP, Resources manager Alvin Willert said three trees were cut down on the park property. In ad- dition, brush piled up by RAP employees was moved further towards the river by a property owner. After learning that the proper- ty owner in question had com- plained to the RAP office about the brush pile, vice-chairman Bob Pooley asked if any attempt had been made to contact the resident, Willert said he had gone to the house, but no one was there. Pooley said Willert should have made a point to return until the property owner could be con- tacted, but the latter said he didn't want to get involved in a hassle because council had taken over jurisdiction of the area last year. As it turned out his position was correct. Councillor Harold Patterson, who arrived at the end of the debate, said that Mayor Bruce Shaw had given permission to Doug Jervis to cut down three trees after the recent storms had damaged the tops. "That's an easy way to trim them," Pooley said, adding that there wouldn't be any trees left if all those damaged in the storms had been cut down. However, RAP members appeared satisfied that council board members and other per- tinent information, Mr. Crowley said that when the school was built in 1966 no plaque was put on the building and he asked per- mission to add the names of the three trustees on the former 1966 school board plus that of the secretary treasurer, He said he was sure the architects would accept the additional wording as the same architects and builders erected the school that year. What followed Mr. Crowley's simple request was amazing — a long involved dicussion on plaques, updating plaques, not putting up any plaques until all schools could have new plaques or updated plaques, not doing anything until the cost of all this could be ascertained, motions made, amendments to actions made, motions withdrawn, amendments withdrawn, new motions made, new amendments made . . When the final vote was taken Mr. Crowley appeared a bewildered man. Mr. Crowley was more ,con- founded when another motion was proposed that he accept the plaque from the architects with the added names if all were given free with no charge to the board. "Do you mean I can go ahead with the additional names?" he asked. Then several trustees spoke up to explain what they thought they had been voting on. With this Joseph Looby in- terrupted, "Better watch out, Crowley, or you will lose the whole thing!" members were supervising the area north of the river. Last year, after Jervis cut down some other trees in the park area behind his property, council decided to take over the cleanup of the bank and to par- ticipate in a tree thinning and weed and brush removal program. RAP members also expressed concern that the right-of-way into the park via Riverside Drive near the curling rink had not, been completed by Len Veri. Willert said the tractor got stuck and said that come spring, the problem would be even worse. Recreation director Jim McKinlay said that the town council had asked \Teri to have the right-of-way completed "in reasonable condition in a reasonable time". The question, he said, was the definition of reasonable. It was finally decided to ask council to approach Veri and ex- plain the urgency of the situation and if it was not completed the town should do the work and charge Veri for it. A copy of the letter will also be sent to Veri. "He may not realize how urgent we think it is," Gaylan Josephson explained. Past Office assignments Exeter's assistant Post Master Bev Rabbets started a five week development and acting assignment at the Goderich Post Office, Monday. Rabbets will be filling the same position in Goderich. Assistant postmaster Bert McReath will be moving up to act as Postmaster while the head of the Goderich office M. T. Farn- sworth fills a similar position in Galt. The assistant postmaster's post here for the next five weeks will be filled by Robert Williamson, who is currently the postmaster at Mitchell. Exeter postmaster Harvey Pfaff told the T-A, "these assignments are for the training and development of our em- ployees in higher category post offices." Mitchell is a semi-staff class 6 office, while Exeter is a staff 7 office and Goderich is the same as Exeter but with letter carrier facilities.
