to appoint
Chaplain
By the beginning of the next
school year, the Huron-Perth
County Roman Catholic Separate
school board will apoint a priest to
act as an advisor to the board, after
two years without a chaplain.
The chaplain will be consulted
about such issues as AIDS educa
tion, child abuse, religious educa
tion and family life.
Rev.J.J. Carriagn of Dublin,
chaplain ot'the Huron-Perth board
from 1982 to 1985 was the first
chaplain to advise the board.
The board hasn't had trouble
making decisions without a chap
lain. which isn't to say it wouldn’t
make better decisions with a
chaplain said director Bill Eckert.
Father Carrigan only attended
general meetings and said he was
not as know ledgeable as he should
be and therefore his role wasn’t as
functional or important as it could
be. said Mr. Eckert.
Over the past two years, the
board has been studying how to
make the chaplain’s role more
meaningful and comprehensive.
In a role description approved by
the board, the chaplain will be
welcome at closed committee of the
whole meetings and the board
committee meetings.
The chaplain ’ s purpose will be to
present the views of the Bishop
John Serlockof the London diocese
and of the Huron-Perth deanery
which represents the priests of
both counties.
The chaplain will be a non-voting
advisor whose appointment will
coincide with the election of
trustees. He will also serve on the
trustee-clergy liason committee.
Appointing a chaplain is rela
tively new for the Huron-Perth
board although it is a long tradition
for many separate school boards.
Access grants

to groups
Non-profit community groups
which want to improve physical
access for disabled persons and
senior citizens will be eligible for a
$15 million grant program announ
ced recently by Tony Ruprecht, the
Ontario minister responsible for
disabled persons.
Mr. Ruprecht made the announ
cement in the Legislature on behalf
of his ministry and that of Ron Van
Horne, ministerfor senior citizens.
The access fund will be available
this fall and will provide matching
grants of up to $50,000 to private
sector, non-profit organizations
and agencies serving disabled
persons and seniors.
The allocation of $15 million is
over three years, providing $2.5
million in each of the years for both
seniors and disabled.
“The improvement of access to
community facilities is an impor
tant element in this government’s
commitment to the integration into
community life of disabled persons
and senior citizens,’’ Mr. Ruprecht
said.
“The elderly and particularly
the frail elderly, should not be
impeded from taking part in
community activities because of
physical impediments,’’ Mr. Van
Horne added.

renovations such as grab bars,
ramps, elevators, door widening,
alert systems for the hearing
