Board has concerns
The Huron -Perth County
Roman Catholic Separate
School Board is pleased it
isn't included in Ontario's
plans for amalgamation of
some boards, and feels it
"will result in greater equity
for our students."
But the area board is con-
cerned that the province's
proposal to reduce its number
of trustees to five, from 14,
"represents a total savings of
only $45,000 per year, but
more importantly represents a
significant loss of input and
control by the Catholic com-
munity."
The board's position is out-
lined in a letter it sent to par-
ents and separate school

"While the Board is pleased
that changes appear imminent
in the method in which
school systems are funded, it
does have some concerns sur-
rounding the issue of the
right of Catholics to declare
themselves as separate school
supporters," this mailing
states. 'The suspension of the
right of separate school
boards to tax separate school
ratepayers could have seri-
ous, long-term repercus-
sions."
The Huron -Perth County
Roman Catholic Separate
School Board has accepted •a
tender of $140,170 for a
foundation that will accom-
modate 12 classrooms at St.

an amalgamation of the for-
mer home can program and

vice with the aim of improv-
ing.access to information and
services.
Huron CCAC chief execu-
tive officer.Carole Taylor
says in _a press release they
intend robe "user friendly"
and have one -telephone num-
ber for people to call. She
adds the centres offer "the
same or similar services to
those offered in .the -past,
including: nursing services,
professional therapies
(speech physiotherapy, occu-
pational therapy), social
work, nutrition services,
homemaking, personal sup-
port and respite care.
'The majority of these ser-
vices will continue to be pur-
chased from both non-profit
centre opens
and private agencies.
Admission to nursing homes
and homes for the aged is
also made through the
CCAC'.
The Huron CCAC' is an
independent organization

tors chaired by Charles

Trout proposals
Those angling for rainbow
trout in the area.may face
new regulations this fall.
The -Rainbow Trout Review
Public Advisory Committee,
made up of more than two
dozen anglers' associations,
recommends maintaining the
Lake Huron and Georgian
Bay "trout fishery by:
• a reduced catch/posses-
sion limit to two rainbow;
• a protected slot size limit
of 19 to 25 inches total
length, with no rainbow
allowed to he harvested
between these lengths;
• specific river seasons clo-
sures, and "catch and release
only" seasons for tributaries
of the Lake and Bay.
• protecting and enhancing
stream habitat.
-For Huron Canny in panic-
ular, the area anglers' com-
mittee recommends imple-
menting specific "sanctuar-
ies" for the popular gamefish
on the Maitland River and
Gully Creek:
•On the Maitland, a night-
, time -only sanctuary 550
metres downstream from
Falls -Reserve Waterfall to the
first natural waterfall,
between Sept. 15 and Oct.
31;
•On Gully, a sanctuary for
all waters of the creek and its
tributaries from Oct. 1 to the
Friday preceding the last
Saturday in April.
Goderich Criminal Court
Judge accepts officer's word on driver
BY CARLA-ANN OUD
SSP News Staff
-A police officer correctly
identifed a 28 -year-old
Seaforth area man, disquali-
fied from driving, as the dri-
ver of a car which was later
reported stolen, ruled a judge.
Judge RG Hunter sentenced
Patrick Kyle to, serve 45 day:.
in jail on Saturdays ane
Sundays for driving while dis-
qualified. in Goderich
Criminal Court, Feb. 10. Kyle
is on probation until the time
is served.
Kyle represented himself
and pleaded not guilty.
A Goderich OPP officer tes-
tified he saw Kyle driving as
they approached an intert3ec-
tion Aug.17 at 8 p.m.
The officer said he had
information Kyle was disqual-
ifiedand the of3ieer turned -on
his emergency lights.
By the time he turned to
pursue the car, the officer said;
it was parked on the wrong
shoulder of the road with no
driver in sight. The engine
was running, the stereo was
on, and the driver's side door
was open.
The officer said he called
out into the surrounding corn
fields for Kyle to come out.
He pattoled the area until dark
and checked for Kyle at his
home, two miles down the
road from the intersection. He
never found Kyle.
"Why _didn't you catch your
suspect so he could be
charged'"" asked Kyle, in a
cross-examination of the offi-
cer.
"Because 1 knew. who you
were. I knew where you lived.
I could contact you the next
day. 1 knew it was you,"
responded the officer.
,Kyle •testified • he was -tot
driving the car seen. by the
officer at 8 p.nl. At that time,
his girlfriend reported the car
as stolen.
The officer testified he first
heard the report at 10:05 p.m.
when he returned a telephone
call from Kyle's girlfriend.
Before the call, there was no
record of such a report on the
dispatch computer, said the
officer. .
If the report came in -earlier,
hc would have been notified
because he was the officer on
patrol, said the officer.
Kyle said be learned thecar-
was missing when his girl-
friend telephoned him at his
brother's place in Exeter.
Kyle called three people
who testified they were pre-
sent when Kyle got the call.
Each witness placed the call at
different times between 8 p.m.
and 9 p.m.
Judge RG Hunter said he
accepts the officer could iden-
tify•Kyle as the driver and the
stolen report came after the'
car was abandoned.
