No extra funding for education
January went out with a ven-
geance as area residents woke
early last Thursday morning to
find a major snow storm bat-
tering
attering the area.
Area children rweived a
holiday as the four area schools
were closed. In Bruce county a
total of nine schools were closed
and in Huron 12 schools closed
their doors.
Early morning predictions
suggested a possible 35 cm of
snow could fall during the day,
with high winds making
visibility poor and driving eon-
dirious da gerous.
OPP reported dangerous
driving conditions on many area
roads during the day nc -
sitating some road closures.
HANOVER--The. Ministry of
Education has put an end to hopes
of extra funding for education this
year, but the -director of the Bruce -
Grey Separate, School Board says
the steering committee on education
taxes still has a case to •present.
Bill Brown, director of education,
isn't, . surprised that education
minister, Marion Boyd won't be
funding 6 per cent of education
costs this year as some groups
hoped.
That announcement was made
recently as the province cited com-
mitments to other financial needs.
Instead, Boyd said the government
would aim to increase . education
fundirig over five years. —
But Brown said at the board's
January 29 meeting that he doesn't
think the so-called Amabel Task
Force on education taxes should
quit its efforts to change the basic
funding formula for local boards of
education.
Brown ,said •the group is correct in
its position that low assessment
areas like Grey and Bruce counties
don't get fair treatment from the
current formula, but he warned it
will be a three to five year fight
with the province before any chan-
ges are -mace.
'They're not going to change it
overnight,. just like the province
isn't going to go 60 per cent fun-
ding (of education costs) over-
night,"
vernight," Brown said.
The separate board wasn't coun-
ting on a big jump in provincial
gents this year, but Brown said if
the increase only covers the cost of
living, tin: local taxpayer will again
have to pick up the difference.
Meanwhile, Southampton council
has apparently. already thrown in
dietowelon efforts to get changes
in education funding.
On January 28, council voted not
to -give the second $100 donation to
the Amabel Tax Force, saying, "it's
not likely any benefit will derive"
from the sing committee's ef-
forts.
BOOTS FOR KIDS
A Wiarton woman is organizing
an effort that could send truckloads
of boots to Russia.
Janet Pawsey got support from
the Bruce -Grey Separate School
Board at its January 29 meeting for
her "Boots for Kids" project.
Between February 4 and 21: she's
collecting good used b6ots at
schools that choose to participate.
The boots will be sent to Russia,
where there are reports of desperate
shortages of children's winter foot-
wear.

Although September seems a
long way off parents, in this area
who will have children attending
kindergarten at Lucknow Central
Public School, are asked to
contact the school at 528-3022.
Your child must be five years of
age before December 31, 1991.
This is not kindergarten
registration. It is simply a means
of allowing the principal, Mr.
P+c to determine what staff
will be rcgnircd for the 1991/92
school teen.
Praise to God is the heartbeat or
worship and the pulse of human
life. It's also a source of unity for
members of the Christian church.

Following the service, a time of
fellowship was enjoyed by all.
