might not be a big enough consid
eration to stop 12-month school
years. More to the point is the
number of tourist-related busi
nesses that count on students to
man their businesses during the
summer.
Of course a 12-month school year
might eliminate that worry: it
might kill summer tourism altoge
ther. If kids don’t get off school in
the summer, parents don’t take
vacation in the summer. If the kids
get more vacation time in the
winter, the parents will take their
vacation time in the winter and you
can guess where they’ll spend their
time off: it won’t be Ontariariario.
They’ll take even more of our
tourist dollars and deposit them in
the bank accounts of resort opera
tors in Florida. Mexico and the
Caribbean. Now down there they
might need 12-month school so
they can get enough kids on
vacation in the winter to bank all
our Canadian dollars as they come
in.
No, even if it is the greatest idea
in the world, the 12-month school
term isn’t about to fly and we in the
business have just been using it to
fill the pages now that Patti Starr
has thankfully gone into hiding. I
must admit it makes sense to see
those expensive schooLbuildings in
use for an entire year instead just
nine or 10 months, but under the
same token why don’t we put three
shifts of teachers on to keep the
schools open 24 hours a day to
make better use of the building.
There are times, when I see a
teacher in shorts strolling unhur
riedly down the street on a warm
July afternoon while I sweat away
in my office, that I like the vision of
schoolrooms full in July. The same
thought occurs when the 15th
phone call of the day comes from
the bittiezone at home where
vacationing students can find little
to do but fight with each other.
But then I remember back to the
long, hot days of my own summer
vacations and I think we can
sometimes get carried away with
this talk of efficiency. Yes, there is
nothing efficient about school
rooms sitting empty while kids
explore the woods or sit under a
tree and pick petals off a daisy but I
think there’s something a lot more
important. There are few times in
this busy modern world that we can
put life into its proper perspective.
Summer time, when young stu
dents can do just about anything
they please day after day for
months, is one of the few times
they will ever experience
freedom. I think it’s worth a
inefficiency to give them
experience.

They were then asked how their
projects were doing. After writing

Tax tab jumps 15%
in Hullett township
Continued from page 1
knew sooner or later it was going to
happen,” said Bob Szusz.
This year’s tax boost is the result
of council’s decision to incorporate
an extra $15,000 in budgeted
expenditures for unknown costs.
Reeve Tom Cunnigham said ‘‘there
may not be enough money in the
budget for unforseen items.” The
$15,000 was included in the budget
in case equipment breaks down or
new office supplies are needed.
‘‘Taxes will go up, it’s unani
mous,” said Mr. Cunningham after
council unanimously supported this
decision, ‘‘we’ll all be tarred with
the same brush.”
Hullett’s increased taxes was
also affected by tax hikes from the
county and school boards. The
County of Huron raised its taxes
19.58 per cent, the public school
board raised its 9.96 per cent and
the separate school board raised its
11.2 per cent.
The actual mill rate increase
from last year’s budget are: 3.655
from 2.885 for general township;
3.127 from 2.615 for Huron County;
5.585 from 5.156 for elementary
public education and 5.633 from
5.333 for elementary separate
school education; 4.383 from 3.909
for secondary public education and
4.879 from 3.981 for secondary
separate education. This makes the
total public education supporters
mill rate 16.750 from 14.565 and
the separate school supporters mill
rate 17.294 from 14.814. A mill rate
is one-tenth of a cent.
What the tax increase means to
the rate payer is that for a
residence or farm valued at $50,000
the taxes will be $837.50. This
year, an increase of $109.25.
The 1989 budget also revealed
that Hullett has dropped in taxable
assessments. Last year, Hullett’s
taxable assessments were
$70,397,690 while this year they
dropped to $70,328,790.
Swine Club meets
The North Huron 4H Swine Club
held its third meeting, July 11, at
the home of Ginger Kavelmon.
Members discussed the fourth

and Equipment book which includ
es special needs of sows and bam
ventilation.
Secretary Christian Feldscov
read the minutes of the last
meeting. The next meeting will be
held at the home of Amy Thomas
August 8 at 8 p.m. Members are
asked to bring a friend.
East Wawanosh council
pays day care tab
East Wawanosh Council agreed
to pick up the tab for township
children in Wingham’s subsidized
day care programs, following a
discussion with Jane Lane, super
visor of Wingham Day Centre and
Brenda Shedler, a member of the
centre’s board of directors at their
July 4 meeting.
Presently 13 of the 52 children
enrolled in the centre are from East
Wawanosh. At least three of them
are in a provincial subsidy program
which pays up to 80 per cent of the
day care expenses, depending on
financial need.
According to Mrs. Shedler,
Wingham has, until recently been
covering the remaining 20 per cent
for fully-subsidized families, but
last month Council voted not to
cover subsidies for out-of-town
children.
‘‘There’s no law that says the
townships have to cover the re
mainder of the cost,” Mrs. Shedler
explained. ‘‘The ministry, how
ever, feels that if the family is
found to be in need of a subsidy,
they shouldn’t be expected to pay
the cost either. We can only rely on
the municipalities sense of fair play
... either that or refuse to take
children.”
Following petitions from several
Belgrave residents Council is noti
fying five lot owners in the Hum
phrey subdivision in Belgrave to
cut their weeds, or pay the county
to do it.
After receiving notification, ow
ners who fail to comply will hear
from the Huron County weed
inspector.
Building permits were issued to
Terry Buchanan for a residence on
Lot 28, Plan 500, Belgrave; William
Fidom for a residence on Lot 31,
Concession 6; Bryan Coultes, Pt.
Lot 41, Concession 11 for a sun
room; Brian Potter for a storage
shed on Lot 35, Concession 9; Dan
Byler for a storage shed on Lot 30,
Concession 11; Simon Bleeker for a
barn addition on Lot 29, Concession
11; Maitland Valley Conservation
Authority for an entrance way to a
building on Pt. Lot 34, Concession
7; Alex Nethery for an addition to
an existing storage shed on Pt. Lot
42, Concession 5; Hebo Siertsema
for a swimming pool on Lot 35,
Concession 2; and to Doug Walker
for a steel granary on Lot 36,
Concession 8.
A demolition permit was issued
to Larry Robinson for Lot 34,
Concession 9.
A grant for $1,260 is being given
to Blyth Union Cemetery for maint
enance purposes.
Council is also granting $50 to
the Friends of 4H Fund.
East Wawanosh Council had no
objections to the amendment of the
Township of Morris secondary plan
designating Pt. Lot 1 and Pt. Lot 2
of Concession 5 from agriculture to
restricted agriculture and designat
ing Pt. Lot 1, Concession 5 from
restricted agriculture to urban.
This proposal will add holding
zone provisions to the secondary
plan for regulating development in
urban areas.
