COWAN PRINTING & ADVERTISING LUCKNOW 528-2730 LIBBY'S Assorted Varieties 1 kg Box Frozen Vegetables Miller and Martin head HPRCSS board by Michelle Greene A trustee who protested the board, as a taxpayer became the vice - chairperson of the Huron -Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board on Monday night. Trustee Mike Miller made a pres- entation to the board in the mid - '80s to protest the closure of the French-speaking Ste. Marie School in St. Joseph, near Grand Bend. On Monday night, trustees voted him to the position of vice - chairperson, replacing Goderich Trustee Don Rivera who declined his nomination. Miller defeated Stratford Trustee Ron Marcy in the election. Ironically, Miller will oversee the closure of St. Joseph School, Stratford, which he admits will be difficult for him in the upcoming year. On the other hand, he will also be involved in the opening of the board's proposed Catholic sec- ondary school in Clinton. "'That's something I'm interested in as Huron County trustee and a father of children who are begin- ning high school," he said after the election. In the past year, Miller has served as the chairperson of the board's policy and bylaw committee, special education committee, . and the liaison extension committee. Miller is in his first term representing Hay and Stanley Townships, and the villages of Zurich, Hensall and Bayfield. Trustee Louise Martin was re- elected for a second year as chairperson. She has represented the townships of Ashfield, Colborne, Hullett, West Wawanosh, East Wawanosh and the Town of Clinton since 1989. Martin received unanimous appro- val of trustees as she was the only one nominated for the position. "IC gives mea real feeling of being appreciated in the job I was doing," said Martin after the meet- ing. She said she accepted the second mandate because she likes the chal- lenge "to better the good system we already have." So far, the board hasn't seen the labor problems of other boards as a result of social contract cuts. "We've been fortunate because of the co-operation of our employee groups. They are willing to work with us," she said. The board's secondary teachers recently agreed to amendments to their contract agreement, allowing the .board to meet its social contract target. The elementary teachers are currently negotiating to reach a similar deal but a deal has not yet been ratified by both sides. Seaforth area Trustee Gerry Ryan will chair the policy and bylaw committee. Stratford Trustees Ron Marcy was elected the chairperson of the management committee. Stratford Trustee Michael Dack will be the chairperson of the education committee. The new duties take effect immediately. The next board meet- ing under the leadership of Martin and Miller is scheduled for Monday night.

Kinloss council discusses long range road program KINLOSS TOWNSHIP - Council held a lengthy discussion on the municipality's three to five year long range program for the road department, when they met Dec. 6. Superintendent Henry' Clark was instructed to have a list prepared for the next council meeting. A laneway applicationbY Don Hackett was rejected. Council decided that since he is the tenant of the land only, the owner should make the application. Mr. Clark recently met with the. aggregate resources officer from the Ministry of Natural Resources to review the wayside permit on Con- cession 6, and the township gravel pit on Concession 4. Following a verbal complaint regarding water problems on George Street, a meeting will be arranged between Art Clark of Maitland Engineering and Mr. Clark. Dennis Thompson, bylaw enfor- cement officer, introduced himself to council and discussed the cases he is currently working on for the municipality. Gord Fletcher, Gerry Mowbray, Harold Howald, Rickey Van Ee and Ruth attended r tte nded the meeting to discuss the upcoming OMB hearing of Donegan Haulage. An appointment will be arranged between the township solicitor, Councillor Brian Wolfe and Gord Fletcher to discuss the matter. An application has been made to the Ministry of Tourism and. Recreation for a $5,000 grant available for smaller communities. The commercial public 'as- sessment on Jul's Diner was changed to residential public due to the closing of the diner. Barry Schmidt will chair Bruce Board of Education The 1994 chair of the Bruce Board of Education predicted the coming year will be a period of "consolidation and financial jus- tification" to determine which programs will survive into the future. Barry Schmidt was acclaimed chair of the board when out -going chair Don Tedford declined to let. his nomination stand at the board's Dec. 7 session. A chartered accountant, the Kinn cardine trustee has eight' years ex- perience on the board, including a term as chair in 1983. Sc mi't unmeslate y s ed out the financial end of education as his area of expertise, saying he will leave statements on program aspects of education to trustees who have experience in the classroom. ."Proving our credibility with the taxpayers of Bruce County, by jus- tifying the taxes we have to raise, and convincing the public that we will be able to maintain and hopefully improve the quality of education we deliver with shrinking revenue will be important," Schmidt said in his inaugural remarks. Schmidt admitted the board has become a target for the frustrations of employees hit by social contract cut backs. He said gaining the trust and confidence of employees is an important issue. "We did not devise the social contract," he said. "It is my hope we will not continue to be a target for the frustration it has developed." The Bruce board has yet to implement full de -streaming of Grade 9 or develop plans for junior kindergarten. Schmidt expects those issues and 'new testing measures to be resolved in 1994. In the meantime, Schmidt warned the board will be looking hard at the cost and efficiency of its exis- ting program sYdeciding_which ones will survive. "Trustees and administration will have to justify the need for every program," he said. They will also have to justify the facilities and methods intended to deliver those programs. "The benefit to students must continue to be our first priority in implementing change of any kind," he said. Acclaimed as vice -chair was Don Stobo, a Teeswater-area trustee with five years experience on the board.. "With thegoals and priorities set in August and Barry's outline and expertise, I think we're headed for a good year," Stobo said.
