Goderich scored a huge nine runs in the first then a walk to Jamie McCallum in the bottom half, fol- lowed by runs from Michael and David McBurney cut the lead to six. Goderich tagged on another in the second while shutting out Bel- At its special board meeting, Monday, July 5, the Huron County Board of Education (HCBE) acknowledged the resignation of Shirley Weary, currently principal at Bluewater Secondary School. Shirley Weary was scheduled for The very controversial issue of the method by which schools raise funds was addressed at the board of education meeting on July 5. It was recommended by Mr. Car- roll that the schools be allowed to use lotteries, games of chance and "lucky draw" tickets to raise funds. There is presently a policy in place that does not permit this involvement. Several members of the board were strongly opposed to employ- ing "gambling" devices for school purposes. Trustee Norman Pickell said, it "promotes the idea of strik- ing it rich by doing nothing. The school board must set a minimum standard of values." Mr Pickell said such activities could lead students to heavy gambling and law-break- "Phonics are alive and well In Huron County," said Huron County Board of Education Trustee Nor- man Pickell. Mr. Pickell presented a report to the board of education on July 5 stating the teachers are trying hard to meet the needs of the children in their class. The Early Years divi- sion is taking a common sense approach and are trying to fmd the right balance of teaching methods. The Huron-Perth RCSS board and the public school board have approved the integration of bus grave. The third inning saw more of the same with Goderich adding another four, though Jamie McCal- lum did cross the plate for Bel- grave. Goderich repeated their third inning with four runs scoring while Belgrave was shut out once again. In the fifth the visitors increased the lead by one which was can- a transfer to the principalship at F.E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham, effective Sept. 1. In her letter of resignation, she indicated "The students, staff and community of that school deserve a principal who is prepared to make a ing because of an addiction. - Other members expressed the opinion that this could not be com- pared to "big league gambling". Trustee Bob Burton stated, "The problems with gambling in Ontario could not be compared to this issue." Trustee Burton said, "such a fundraising activity could get the students to work together instead of expecting to have money handed to them for their activities." Morris Trustee Doug Garniss opposed the suggested change of policy while John Jewitt, trustee for Hullett township, supported the amendment. The motion was defeated by the board with an eight to six count. Schools in Huron County will not be able to use lotteries or games of chance to raise funds. routes. There will now be one bus route for Hullett Township, as reported at the HCBE meeting on July 5. *a*** Restructuring funds in the amount of $348,000 have been made available to the HCBE by the Ministry of Education and Train- ing, board was informed at the July 5 meeting. These funds will be used for the upgrading of technology, wage adjustments through the transition period of the social contract talks and for early retirement incentives. celled when Michael McBurney scored after being walked. On July 9 it was turnabout when Belgrave travelled to Walton and downed the home team 15-9. McCallum and Michael McBur- ney scored two in the first, while Walton remained scoreless. Marc Alexander provided some insur- ance in the second as Walton got on the board with two. commitment for a minimum three- year period in order to effect appropriate change within the school. I am not prepared to make that commitment." As a result of this resignation, Director-Designate Paul Carroll has given reconsideration to each of the secondary school transfers previously determined. In the organization plans, Joe Wooden, presently at South Huron District High School was to assume duties at Bluewater Secondary School and Herb Murphy, presently at F.E. Madill Secondary School was to assume duties at South Huron District High School. The timing of the resignation in conjunction with other matters with a potential impact on staffing, including the Social Contract Act, A homer by McCallum, followed by the McBurneys scoring gave the visitors a healthy lead, especially after shutting down the home team in the third. The same trio was responsible for the runs in the fourth, while Walton put a little heat on, scoring three. Then it was even more nerve wracking when Walton shut out Belgrave in the fifth then closed the lead to the decision to delay the transfers. In a statement to the board, Paul Carroll stated it would be inappropriate to assign a school principal to a large secondary school for three to four months in view of other events unfolding and the possibility of other staff changes before the end of the current year. It would be wiser to put all secondary principal transfers on hold until Jan. 1. Shirley Weary will continue her duties at Bluewater Secondary School, a 12-month school operation, the next four months from July through October, at which time her resignation will become effective. She was the founding principal at Bluewater Secondary School which opened as a special school for Young Offenders in September 1986. gap by one more in their half of the inning. However, five runs in the sixth launched the visitors well in front again. Crossing the plate were Michael Sanders, McCallum, both McBurneys, which included a homerun by David and Kevin Campbell. Though Walton came back in their half of the seventh with three runs McCallum had tagged on yet another for the visitors in the top half giving them a comfortable fin- ish.
