Differ on equipment purchases
Continue dialogue on fire pact
The village of Grand Bend
and the township of Stephen
are continuing to have a
dialogue on a revamped fire
agreement between the
village, Stephen and Bosan-
quet townships. *
Stephen requested that
equipment purchased prior
to 1970 be assumed by the
village while equipment
purchased after that date
become property of the area
fire board.
Reeve Bob Sharen said the
report submitted by the On
tario Fire marshal’s office
had said all equipment
should be owned by the .
village.
If that was the case, why
was the village asking finan
cial help from the townships ,
in the construction of an ad
dition to the fire hall, coun-
cillor Keith Crawford asked.
If the village was to provide
only a service to the
townships, the call rates
should be adjusted to help
pay for the addition, he said.
While agreeing the letter
had nothing to do with the
proposed agreement, Sharen
disagreed with Crawford
who said this could indicate
the township does not oppose
the new agreement.
Sharen thought the letter
was a stalling tactic.
An appearance before the
Ontario Municipal Board
was avoided when Donald
Scott agreed to reconsider
his objection to a zoning
change requested by James
Patterson.
Patterson had requested
that property which he owns
along Highway 81 be chang
ed from development to
residential.
Scott and Shirley Barry
who own land adjacent to
the Patterson property felt
that a change in designation
for the Patterson property
would inhibit the sale of
their properties which are
zoned commercial.
Lawyer Philip Walden of
Thedford acting on behalf of
Patterson told Scott the
designation change for his
client’s property would not
preclude him from selling
the property for residential
purposes although it might
have affect on the property’s
value.
Scott agreed with Walden
and told council he would in
form Mrs. Barry of the
situation.

Teachers to be responsible
for complaints about books
By JEFFSEDDON
If teachers in Huron
county want to use con
troversial material in
classrooms they better be
prepared to fight for it.
The Huron county board of
education agreed in prin
ciple Monday to a policy that
will make teachers,
department heads and
principals responsible for
handling compalints and
criticisms of material used
in county classrooms.
The endorsement of the
policy was given after
director of education John
Cochrane gave the board an
example of a policy designed
to handle complaints.
Cochrane told the board he
had drafted a policy to be
presented to the board and
had taken it to teachers and
department heads for their
comments. He said the
teachers agreed with the
intent of the policy but felt
that some changes should be
made in the director’s model
before the policy was
adopted.
The director said teachers
had some “housekeeping
suggestions’’ for the policy to
clear up vague areas. He
said he hoped to have the
changes made for the May
board meeting but wanted
the board to give some in
dication if it supported the
idea of putting teachers in
charge of defending material
they use.
“Which route does the
board want to take?”
Cochrane asked “Do you
want complaints to go back
to the source or do you want
to deal with them right off
the top?”
The policy is aimed at
preventing further
headaches for trustees
trying to defend classroom
material the board approved
for use.
Under the present system
teachers recommend
material to department
heads, department heads
'and principals send that
recommendation on to the
board and the board ap-
: proves it for use. In many
cases the board takes the
teacher’s word that the
material is suitable and does
not screen it.
Cochrane indicated that
the policy should help to
prevent problems the board
had over English literature
novels used in the county.
The novels that came
under fire, The Diviners by
Margaret Laurence, Catcher
in the Rye by J. D. Salinger
and Of Mice and Men by
John Steinbeck, stirred a
controversy in the county
that is still a thorn in the
board’s side.
Cochrane’s suggestion
would require any parent or
ratepayer with a complaint
about classroom material to
take that complaint to the
school their child attends.
The complaint would be
handled by the teacher,
department head and
principal of the'school. If no
suitable arrangement can be
worked out the matter would
be sent to the board to be
handled discreetly.
Cochrane said he hoped
the policy would enable
individual concerns of
ratepayers to stay low key
and not become county wide
issues.
Seaforth trustee John
Henderson said the system
of approving material for
classroom use had been
taken away from trustees.
He said it seems “trustees
don’t have anything to say
anymore” pointing out that'
books that come to the board
for approval get there a
month before school starts.'
He said the board has little
opportunity to make any
changes in the list of ap
proved materials.
Board chirman John
Elliott explained that the
material for classroom use is
sent to a committee of the
board and that committee
makes recommendations to
the board.
He said approvals have to
be made by the whole board
giving all trustees a chance
to comment.
Goderich trustee Dave
Gower said he had not had an
opportunity to 'study the
implications of the policy
and asked it be tabled. He
said he had not received the
material provided on the
policy until just before
meeting time and had not
had an opportunity to study
it.
He said he felt the decision
was important enough to
have all problems trustees
had clarified.
Gower said one problem he
had was understanding what
materials the board ap
proves and what is approved
by the ministry of education.
Cochrane said the ministry
approves textbooks in
subjects like mathematics,
science and history leaving
decisions on English
literature novels up to in
dividual boards. He pointed
out that material the
ministry approves “is,
usually not too ' con
troversial”.
Sharen said Scott and
Barry must send a
registered letter to the 0MB
informing them of their
decision.
The village will have a
new area for handicrafts
men if a proposal by sign
maker Bob Torrington goes
through.
Torrington told council he
has plans for the establish
ment of a crafts mall on
property across from the
amusement park on the
village’s Main street.
Approximately 10 booths
sitting on skids would be
arranged in a semi-circle.
Torrington said the mall
would not be a flea market
and would hopefully have
persons with distinctive han
dicrafts.
Council gave their ap
proval in principal to the
proposal.
Deputy-reeve Judy Uniac
announced the hiring of
several persons for the
summer season.
Lifeguards returning are
Mike and Dave Wright and
Randy Duxberry. The retur
ning guards will receive
raises of 20' per hour
providing they undertake
some beach cleanup work at
the start of the day. Mike
Wright who is head lifeguard
will receive $4.25 per hour
while Dave Wright and Dux-
berry will be paid $3.95 per
hour.
Uniac will advertise for
another lifeguard.
Returning as parking lot
attendant will be Annie Or
ban who will be paid $3.50
per hour for a maximum of
four hours per day.
The village will also be
advertising for the positions
of dock attendant, bath
house attendant and two
students for the works
department.
In other business, council:
Learned the Huron Coun
try Playhouse will attempt
to set up a ticket booth in the
village. The booth would
also handle tickets for com
munity organizations.
Received $6,600 from the
province in lieu of a
resource equalization grant
which the village does not
qualify for. Sharen said the
village has been “getting
rooked $20, $30,000 each year
by the province.”
Sharen said the village
was benefiting from the
fight which the city of Sar
nia had put up.
Learned the ministry of
transportation and com
munications would be .
repairing the damaged por
tion of the bridge over the
Ausable River as soon as
parts were available.
Approved a sign permit
application from John
Aselstyne.
