School & Community Assoc, holds first meeting If attendance is any indication there is solid support for the F.E. Madill School & Community Asso ciation as some 100 people were on hand for the first meeting in the school library, Wednesday, Nov. 11. Seventy parents, 10 students, teachers and trustees took part in the panel discussion on lunch hour concerns. In an interview following the meeting Vice-Principal Rob Parr said the problem has arisen over many students spending lunch hours downtown. Often, he said, there may be as many as 100 stu dents gathering at one local variety, which many community people find intimidating. There was also discontent with the way some of the students conducted themselves and the amount of litter left after they leave. Achievement Mr. Parr stated that the young people at the meeting came up with suggestions on how to deal with the situation, something he thought was quite positive. "We will be looking at the needs and hope for progress," he said. He also com mended the trustees, Doug Gamiss and Liliane Nolan, who were pre sent at the meeting and Vicki Cul- bert and Della Baumgarten, for the very active role they have taken with the Association. Those in attendance also heard an update on the transition years. Beginning next year Grade nine students will study a common cur riculum as opposed to one geared to advanced, general or basic level. The only choice they will have is between music or visual arts. Sci ence, math, English, Canadian studies, French, guidance and phys ed and keyboarding will be manda tory.

"I don't have the illusion that government can magically solve problems," he said. But he believes if people have a vision of what the country should be like, that will go a long way to making it happen. "From personal experience, I know having a vision works," he admits. "I once worked on a farm and envisioned an energy-efficient farm. That vision helped guide me to something tangible." His vision for Canada is this: "A future where the economy is struc tured to meet the needs of the peo ple who live and work in it. Where men and women live together with out fear and with equality. Where we have learned to use our material resources wisely so that our chil dren and their children can live here. Where co-operation and gen erosity have supplanted selfishness and greed. Where we can work with our sisters and brothers around the world for peace, justice and a sustainable existence." Mr. McQuail has lived in Huron- Bruce since the early 1970's. He graduated from Goderich District Collegiate Institute and achieved a Honours Bachelor of Environmen tal Studies at the University of Waterloo. He's been active in local farm and community organizations and recently served as Executive Assis tant to the Ontario Minister of Agriculture and Food. Facility could cost village $300-400,000 Continued from page 1 don't want us spreading on frozen ground," said Reeve Lee. But a new facility could cost the village $300-400,000. "I've been talking to the reeve of Brussels who is facing the same problem and we both agreed we couldn't afford to both spend that kind of money," Reeve Lee told his fellow councillors. "We've talked about the possibility of purchasing a farm with a manure tank so we could spread the sludge on the farm and have a tank to store the sludge for six months." He said 100 acres would be more than they would need and buying a farm would cost the villages less than building a new storage facility. Councillor Lawrie said it was a good idea and Councillor Scrim- geour said "We should look into it for sure." Reeve Lee said this should be the council's winter project. NEED TO HIRE NEW PEOPLE?
