The Huron County Board of Education Monday approved the 1978-79 school calendars Monday making only one change from the calendars submitted by school prin­ cipals, denial of a request from SHPHS to use the first day of school as a professional development day. Herb Turkheim, trustee from Zurich, told the board he was opposed to the use of school opening day as a PD day. He said the teachers at South Huron asked for two development days in Sep­ tember and that one of them was the first day of school. He said the teachers wanted the day to organize timetables and classes and to iron out any curriculum problems. Turkheim told the board that he felt the use of opening day for those purposes was unnecessary, suggesting that teachers get together sometime before September 4, the first day of school. He said the teacher’s contract was from September 1 and if they wanted to meet in the schools they could do so on one of the three days prior to the first day of school. “We’re getting a lot of flack in the south end of the county over this,” he said. Director of education John Cochrane told the board that the teachers at South Huron felt that they actually gain time by using the first day of school for professional development. He said the board grants secondary schools, eight PD days at the end of ’Juhe for' ’preparation of curriculum for the next School year. The director said that practice was both “customary and necessary.” He said three PD days were planned for the secondary school teachers by ad­ ministration and the remaining two days were left at the discretion of the school. He said South Huron took one of those days at the beginning of the year and felt it was justified. Weather gal at Playhouse James Murphy, Artistic Director for the Huron Country Playhouse an­ nounced recently that CFPL’s Judy Savoy has accepted an invitation to appear in the Playhouse production, Parlor, Bedroom and Bath. Miss Savoy will appear in the part of a gossip colum­ nist who, jWhile getting .the scoop, gets entangled in an hilarious menage a trois. Miss Savoy appeared on stage in a number of productions before becoming involved in Radio and T.V. Parlor, Bedroom and Bath is the 20’s entry of the Playhpuse 1978 Festival of Summer Theatre which salutes six decades. Co­ authored by Charles Bell, a prominent Hamilton lawyer, the play became a smash hit on Broadway and later became a Hollywood film starring Buster Keaton. Remaining a favourite throughout the 20’s, the play then fell into obscurity. The Playhouse will give the famous old play its first showing in perhaps 40 or 50 years. Budget Continued from front page recreation centre board of management budget of $187,640 is also included in the town’s total levy. Local taxpayers will be providing $385,559 for general purposes the balance of the revenue coming from sewer revenue ($125400), debenture debt recoverable ($158,358), grants and subsidies from the three senior levels of government ($274,258), licenses and fees ($42,436), recoverable from area townships for fire protection and recreation ($26,000), rec centre revenue ($121,115) and debenture sales ($140,28$). Colborne Trustee Shirley Hazlitt said she was inclined to agree with Turkheim claiming the teachers should be ready to teach when school started. She said opening day was normally used to settle students problems over books, timetables and scheduling and was not an instructional day. She said the second day was an in­ structional day but that South Huron would not be teaching the second day of school because of the PD day. Cochrane told the board that for teachers to use one of the three days prior to opening day would require them to use the Labor Day weekend. He said the teachers contract began September 1 but pointed out that teachers only get paid for the days school is open and that they wouldn’t be paid for using one of the days on the weekend. “This is not the year to be suggesting that teachers be in school early,” warned!the director. Goderich Trustee Dorothy Wallace said she couldn’t understand how the matter got to the board. She said the board was a policy maker and this matter fell under the duties of administration. She said she felt it was something the pincipals should be doing themselves. “If administration doesn’t do what the board wants it to do maybe it’s time to tell it what to do,” said Turkheim. The board approved an amended motion giving teachers at South Huron any other day than opening day as for professional development. The school calendar has four statuatory holidays for both elementary and secondary * schools', Monday, December 25, 1978 to January 2,1079, both dates inclusive as the Christmas break, Monday March 19 to Friday March 23 both dates inclusive as the mid-winter break, and seven PD days for'eiementary,’schools(and 13 for secondary schools. sewer connection Veri requires on William St. He was advised that an easement has been secured by the developer and this led to the question of whether the town would take the sewer lateral to Veri’s lot line or just to the edge of the sidewalk on Williarq, St. When it was suggested the town should pay for the lateral to the lot line, Mayor Bruce Shaw asked why. Reev Si Simmons replied that council had demanded that the sewer hook onto William Street rather than Carling and this was the reason why the lateral should be installed by the town. He also noted that the town would get, considerable revenue from the apart­ ments and should be prepared to spend some money. Members agreed that this was logical. However, they asked the public works committee to meet with Veri and draw up an agreement regarding the easement and the necessary terms. A discussion was held in regard to the lot levels that should be maintained in the project, but no decision was made in this regard. Works superintendent Glenn Kells said builders in the Darling and Riverview Estates subdivisions were required to meet certain requirements in this regard, but no such policy existed elsewhere. He said there should be some control to prevent flooding of neigh­ boring properties. Triebner also advised council that he had received a permit application for a new house in the Darling subdivision, but noted the roads were not completed as required under terms of the subdivision agreement. That agreement stipulates that the road must be completed to the point of one coat of asphalt before building permits can be issued. “The agreement answers the question,” Councillor FLOWERS OF HOPE CAMPAIGN — Once again the Flowers of Hope campaign will be tak­ ing place in the area served by the South Huron and District.

Dirty Continued from front page fected by a board decision to come to the board to appeal the decision. He said by removing the texts from the list the board was inviting opponents of that move to make their case known to the trustees, something that was done last year over the same issue. Henderson asked board chairman John Elliott why the matter was dealt with by the executive committee. He said he felt that if there were a lot of letters sent to the board the matter should have been dealt with by the board. He said he was not aware of the number of letters received on the issue. Elliott said the letters were sent to individuals on the board and not to the books board itself. He said the executive committee dealt with the issue for public relations, wanting to show good faith in dealing with the requests of the opponents of the books. Cochrane said the board office had received many letters on the issue that had been forwarded to the executive committee. “I don’t know how close to a bushel basket we have now,” he said. “A sample of the letters was put on each one of your (the trustees) minutes. Henderson agreed not to ask the board to vote on his motion to remove The Diviners from the list of texts and the board agreed to allow the school programs committee to deal with the issue. Other commercial projects in addition to the Chainway project were renovations by McKnight’s Men’s Wear at 372 Main and Dalbert Robbins, 263 Main N. . Tool sheds were approved for John Bruls, 27 Gidley W. and Al Horton, 71 Andrew. A swimming pool permit was issued to Brad Sadler, 87 Andrew.

Ted Wright said in reference to whether the permit should be approved. However, Councillor Derry Boyle said he would hate to see the permit held up because the lady planning the house wanted to move in this summer. “It’s the subdivider holding it up,” Councillor Ken Ottewell contended. Reeve Si Simmons said there must have been a logical reason for the terms of the agreement when it was signed and suggested that logic should still prevail. Liquor counts result in fines Liquor infractions and speeding constituted the majority of cases heard by Justice of the Peace Douglas Wedlake in Exeter court, Tuesday. In addition, Shirley McNair, Huron Park, was fined $25 or three days for failing to wear a seat belt in a properly adjusted manner. The charge arose from an accident on November 20 when the accused sustained injuries in an accident. The investigating officer suggested the injuries would probably have been avoided had she been wearing a seat belt. Paying fines under the Liquor Licence Act were John T. Stilson, RR 2 Lucan, fined $50 for having liquor available in a vehicle; and James Alfred Crocker, London, $50 for having liquor available while having the care and control of a motor vehicle.
