oard of Education bids
farewell to Catholic trustees
Monday was a time of tribute
and farewell as directors and staff
of the Huron County Board of
Education attended the final meet
ing of school trustees Dennis Rau
and Eugene Frayne.
Although both men were elected
in 1985 to represent separate
school supporters on the Huron
County board, neither will have a
mandate to serve their electors
after January 1. 1987, when a
controversial provincial bill comes
into effect.
Bill 30 transfers all authority for
the education of the children of

Separate School Board, leaving the
two Catholic trustees without a
voice on the Huron County board.
Despite attempts by the Huron
board to seek exemption for the
county from this ruling, education
minister Sean Conway has remain
ed adamant that no special provi
sion can be made short of an
amendment to the Education Act.
Board chairman Art Clark read a
letter from the minister, dated
November 20, in which the provin
cial position is made clear, stating
that “(after January 1) no member
elected by separate school electors
is eligible to be a member of a
public board.”
In paying tribute to the retiring
trustees, chairman Clark said that
the board is now left with the same
task to do, but with the loss “of two

very valuable members of the
team. ’ ’ He added that if had been a
privilege to have worked with Mr.
Frayne and Mr. Rau, and it was
with a great deal of regret that the
time had come to say good-bye.
In answering the accolade, Mr.
Rau said that the trustees on the
Huron board are second to none,
and will have no trouble handling
the tasks before them, even with
the loss of two of their number.
Frank Falconer of RR 5, Clinton,
a past school board trustee, also
spoke highly of the retiring men,
but added a little humour to a
solemn occasion by observing that
although this board had tried to
reverse the ministry’s decision, it
had been to no avail.
“It’s like watching snow si ide off
a tin roof,” he said. “You might as
well just stand back and let it go.”
