Happy” and led the worship.
‘Be positive’, education
chair tells trustees
Through a simple, but direct
inaugural address Huron County
Board of Education Chair Bea
Dawson installed many thought
provoking words of wisdom to the
trustees at the January 13 meeting.
She reminded the board that
change does not come quickly so
they should not get discouraged.
She expressed pride in the board's
accomplishments and warned them
of the difficult and enormous tasks
facing them in the year ahead due
to the recession.
She told the board, using exam
ples from an Agricultural confer
ence her husband had attended,
some alarming figures. "For a
farmer to purchase a 120 horse
power tractor in 1972, it took 5,670
bushels of wheat; in 1991, it took
30,000 bushels of wheat," she said.
"To educate a child from Kinder
garten to Grade 12 in 1972 cost
876,000 bushels of wheat and in
1991 is cost 2.5 million bushels."
Mrs. Dawson went on to say that
the board has been told there would
be no major increases forthcoming
in education grants and listed
hydro, bus repair and fuel, Canada
Pension Plan, Unemployment
Insurance and Workers' Compensa
tion increases as some they will be
hit with this year.
The Secondary and elementary
teachers both occasional and full-
time, service employees, Canadian
Union of Public Employees and
non-union staff contracts all come
up for negotiation this year, said
Mrs. Dawson.
"As well, we have market value
assessment re-evaluation to consid
er. At this time we do not know if it
will effect us negatively or posi
tively," she said.
She told the board that the Exec
utive Committee is bringing for
ward a recommendation in the
agenda for the day that asked each
committee to use an inflationary
guideline of a maximum increase
of zero percent.
"It is going to require 100 per
cent team effort, cooperation,
understanding and patience of
everyone involved with the Huron
County Board of Education to have
The service was held in the
basement due to the furnace not
working to heat the upstairs.
Greeters were Ron and Betty
McCallum. Pianist Glenda Carter
was accompanied by Phyllis
a successful year."
As guidance to the trustees Mrs.
Dawson shared some comments
she had found while reading. "Help
each other to be right, not wrong.
Look for ways to make ideas work,
not for reasons they won't. If in
doubt, check it out. Don't make
negative assumptions about each
other. Speak positively about each
other and about your organization
at every opportunity. Maintain a
positive mental attitude no matter
what the circumstance. Act with
initiative and courage as if it all
depends on you. Do everything
with enthusiasm, it's contagious.
Don't lose faith, never give up."
