THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2002. HPCDSB puts parcel o land up for sale By Stew Slater Special to The Citizen The Huron-Perth Catholic District School Board will place a single- family residential-sized parcel of land in Goderich, adjacent to St. Mary's elementary school, up for sale. Trustees approved the sale at a regular meeting Monday, Oct. 28.' The lot, approximately 66 feet wide and 140 feet deep, is next to the playground at the rear of the property currently occupied by the school, at 70 Bennett St. It's actually the third of three lots to become separated from the property originally meant to be occupied by the school, with the other two severed lots already having been sold and converted to houses, Indeed, the two houses act to block the third lot from the view of people in the school, making it difficult for school officials to monitor what's happening on what remains school board property. If all goes as planned, the third lot won't be school board property for long. In compliance with provincial legislation, the Huron-Perth board must first offer the property to the Avon Maitland District School Board, the Town of Goderich, the County of Huron and this district's French school board. If no offers are received within 90 days, then the property can be listed on the open market. "I can't imagine any of (the school boards or municipal governments) wanting what is essentially a building lot," commented trustee Ron Marcy, management chair for the board. As is the case for property matters, the sale was first discussed behind closed doors, with only the vote taking place in open session. But Marcy and management superintendent Gerry Thuss readily provided details about the sale in the open meeting. And in an interview following the meeting, Thuss added that the lot has become a convenient shortcut for people to walk between the school and an adjacent apartment building, on their way to a nearby fast food restaurant. He explained that the lot is not used by St. Mary's students for outdoor activities, and selling it is a much better solution than erecting a fence around it but still having to maintain the grass. Man pleads guilty The • young man charged in connection a rash of automobile thefts in the area, appeared at a bail hearing in Sarnia Oct. 28. According to OPP Sr. Const. Don Shropshall David James pled guilty to all but one of the eight charges laid against him. James remains in custody. A pre- sentence report is being prepared for his next court appearance Dec. 2.
