Trustee says no info has come from province Continued from page 1 here," Patterson said. "It was also mentioned that many of these things are currently in place and that additional funding would allow them to expand." Patterson added that besides some local ideas, however, no new information regarding the program had come from the province itself. Trustee Philip Baumgarten, who had originally voted against expanding JK, noted that this was one of the reasons he was glad for the opportunity to reconsider his earlier decision. Baumgarten said although he feels it is important to study both programs, a lack of information makes that very difficult right now. "There is no framework available from the government and that's a major problem," he said. The trustee also noted that since grants for building maintenance and transportation are now based on enrollment, offering JK might help cover some of the shortfalls the AMDSB is facing in these categories. However, Baumgarten Writer acknowledges effort Continued froth page 4 common goal in mind, to raise money to cover the cost of leasing computers for our school. I observed and was impressed by the commitment and hard work of many parents. To me, seeing this co-ordinated effort brought home how it appears that the parents are taking back ownership of the school and ultimately the responsibility for the education of our children. It's so easy to pass the responsibility to the government in the form of high taxes and then feel that we have done our job. We don't really see the work of our hands manifesting into tangible items. It just seems to appear out of that mysterious government pool. I believe that when these computers appear I won't be the only one who associates them with cutting pies and scrubbing roasting pans at 10 p.m. Several students also donated their time to help serve and clean up and I can't help but believe that said his opinion on offering equity across the board hadn't changed. "Equity is not an education issue," he said, adding that all people in Ontario pay similar taxes and will always receive different services. Trustees discussed the amend- ment which would allow schools to explore offering the early learning program. Patterson, who admitted it was possible for individual schools to receive the new grant, pointed out a section in a report from Education Director Paul Carroll. "There are difficulties with any approach that creates such diversity. There are also ramifications for the board in respect of the collective bargaining process," Carroll said. "While such an approach is possible, we do not believe that it is manageable on any broad scale. A 'pilot site' or 'school family' might be developed, with the concurrence of all parties." Board Chair Abby Armstrong, who voted against the original recommendation, said she could support this new amended motion they will not only feel pride in their contribution but take special care and interest in these machines. As we can only control what we take responsibility for, in our schools or any other part of our lives, I thank the Blyth School Advisory Council for breaking around in this direction. Jackie Cook. THE EDITOR, At the Monday, April 27 regular board meeting of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture, members raised concern with the number of companies who are signing up Mineral Rights Leases for oil and gas exploration. Lease rates vary from $1 to $5 per acre. We would recommend checking any lease with your lawyer before signing. Terms under various leases appear to be negotiable. Yours truly, Henry Boot President, Huron County Federation of Agriculture. providing these pilot sites were something the board was definitely going to see implemented. She noted that contrary to some beliefs, expanding JK had nothing to do with trustees from opposite sides of the district fighting each other. "I don't see it as a Perth or a Huron decision at all. I see it as a group of people wrestling with a decision," she said. Wood spoke out against criticism the board has received since tht April 14 meeting, saying that ni matter what the board decides t offer, children are going to benefit "There are no losers her. tonight," she said. Trustees unanimously passed the recommendation that the AMDSB "implement a JK program utilizing a combined JK/SK format in the following elementary schools in Perth County effective Sept 1, 1998: Anne Hathaway, Avon, Bedford, Falstaff, Hamlet/Portia, Listowel Central, Listowel Eastdale, Milverton, Mitchell, Romeo, St. Marys Central, Shakespeare and Sprucedale; and THE EDITOR, In January '98 Josh Gropp and Robbie McKercher, members of a local band, approached the Optimist Club of Brussels with an idea to host a Battle of the Bands dance for teenagers in the area and provide a chance for young bands to perform. With support from their parents and the Optimist Club the event went well and drew young people from as far away as Listowel and Dungannon and bands from Listowel, Flesherton, Goderich and Brussels. Josh and Robbie organized advertising, tickets, booked bands, sound man, setup in arena, everything to make this event come together. Hats off to all the people who made this event a success. The Optimist Club looks forward to supporting the next event young people would like to organize. Thanks again to Josh and Robbie for your excellent work. The Brussels Optimist Club P.S. Thanks to John and Ann for the ear plugs. that the board endeavour, where space permits, to implement a JK program utilizing a combined JK/SK format in the following elementary schools in Perth County effective Sept. 1, 1998 or as soon as possible thereafter: Central Perth, Downie Central, Mornington Central, South Perth Centennial, Elma/Atwood, North Easthope, Upper Thames and Wallace." The amendment, where "the board trustee or trustees is or are in agreement, and the school community is supportive, the administration may attempt to implement a program under the early learning grant initiative instead of JK in any AMDSB school," was added to the end of the above recommendation and passed as well.
