Mr, Knight said the reports from the ministry of the environment on the Hen- sall landfill area are satisfactory. Reeve Ervin Sillery asked per each in­ normal work Hensail council the council Klungel and Bevan Bonthron — to discuss points of mutual interest. The first topic discussed was the Hensall sanitary land fill site. Reeve Knight said he wondered if Tuckersmith residents liv­ ing in the Hensall dump area would prefer to take their garbage to the Hensall site rather than drive a much longer distance to the Seaforth site. Councillor Robert Bell said, ‘Tve had quite a bit of flack from our people in the area wanting to use the Hen­ sall site.” Reeve Knight said quite a number of Tuckersmith residents do use the facility and that they haven’t been turned away. Mr. Knight said that Usborne Township residents in the Hensall area use the Hensall sanitary site — pay­ ing one-third of the total domestic rates, amounting . to $2800 for Usborne. to; pay. He said, the Hensall-mills if Tuckersmith agreed to share facilities if Hensall would accept payment on the basis of the number us­ ing it, and this was said to be satisfactory. Reeve Knight asked about Tuckersmith giving some ■financial support to the Hen­ sall arena. Councillor Frank Falconer said, “I think we have all the recreation we can handle.” Reeve Sillery said, "I though at one time the coun­ ty would be responsible for recreation — then there would be no overlapping.” Reeve Knight agreed that he was in favour of the county recreation system too. Councillor Robert Bell . said with’ three towns it- is difficult to give to all three arenas because “we have one recreation centre in our own township we are responsible for.” Knight invited Tuckersmith to consider ap­ pointing someone to sit on the Hensall Recreation board, “I feel if you had someone on the. hoard you would know what was going on. You have represen­ tatives on all the firebqards.” Knight asked Tuckersmith to consider the proposals and meet again to discuss them.

Order new bus for use by separate school in Zurich area A 1977 GMC bus has been purchased for the Huron- Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board, Gregory Fleming, Crediton, chairman of the transportation committee, informed the board at a meeting in Dublin, Monday. He said the bus purchased from F. Elliott Motors of Belleville for $15,600 will be delivered this month. The 66- passenger bus will replace a 1970 GMC bus in Zurich. The board- will renew the lease with the Town of Goderich for two classrooms in the former St. Peter’s separate school from Sep­ tember 1, 1978 to August 31, 1979, for the sum of $1,800, up from $1,600 last year. The board supported a resolution from the Kent County Board of Education to the Solicitor-General’s office to introduce legislation to permit the responsibility for the acts of children to rest with the parents and further that this resolution be circulated to other boards in the province asking for support. The board will inform the Perth County board of education that it is not in­ terested in purchasing the parcel of land presently forming part of the Listowel Eastdale Public School property. The board has determined where possible to take ad­ vantage of 40-minute periods on alternate days in the French program. At present there is a 20-minute French period each day. This will cut travelling time for the itinerant French teachers. The board approved having two teachers from existing staff reassigned to the following areas of responsibility for a one-year term, renewable upon review for a second year. (1) a teacher to assist in the co­ ordination of curriculum development and im­ plementation, and (2) a teacher to assist in the development, co-ordination and implementation of special education programs and services. It was noted by the director of education, William Eckert, that the Huron County board of education, the councils of McKillop Township and Logan Township support the board’s request to the ministry of transportation and communications and the Ontario Provincial Police to survey the existing traffic situation regarding the difficulty in entering High­ way 8 from Perth County Road No. 10 and Huron County Road No. 14 due to the vehicles parked at the corner, with a view of restricting the parking enough to permit a safe entry by the motoring public, including school buses. The board granted the Seaforth Lions Club per­ mission to use its corner property in Seaforth located at Goderich and Coleman Streets for a parking area during the Lions Carnival to be held July 21, 22 and 23. The Lions Club indicated the parking would be super­ vised. A cheque for $400 was received from the Huron- Perth unit of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association to be used to buy kits for the IMPACT classes. Superintendent Joseph Mills reported that there are eight IMPACT classes in four schools — two at St. Patrick’s School, Dublin, two at St. Mary’s School, Goderich, two at St. Joseph’s School, Stratford, and two at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School, Mount Carmel. He said the IMPACT classes have their roots in special eduction classes. Mr. Mills said to date eight teachers were trained in the IMPACT program by a Berrien County IMPACT staff which originated the program in Michigan. He said he expects 10 more teachers to be given training beginning in October so that more schools will have the program. Mr. Mills said IMPACT (Instructional Model Program for All Children and Teachers) is designed to allow the teacher to ef­ fectively meet the needs of all students.
