Seaforth high school among board options
CONTINUED from Page 2.
The two trustees empha-
sized that the proposed time
lines for decision making are
critical since site relocation
depends on certain 'windows
of opportunity' which fit
within the • annual business
and finance cycle of the
board.
"Firm directions arc
required no later than early
March to permit us to reach
the current window for
change which would allow
action in a new location by
Sept. 1, 1998. Any delay will
prevent our ability to smite
any substantive change for an
additional year."
DISCUSSION/DEBATE
Following the presentation,
Schenk. Wood and Baird -
Jackson fielded questions
from trustees, students, parent
representatives and other
community members.
Much of the discussion was
centered around the single
site option of closing the
Seaforth high school. Trustee
Atje Tuyten questioned what
difference choosing this
'option would bring from their
current , situation. since the
board would still end up with
-a non -school administrative
site.
"1 don't sec it as a good
option. it's the same as we
have now." Tuyten stated.

the tock. 9:59 exactly. and a
large amount of wind went
suddenly missing from the
Lucan sails.
It was a moment for the
Seaforth-faithful to savour.
It was Mclnally's second
goal of the night. Teammate
Mark Van Dooren got a nat-
ural hat trick, three goals in a
row, from about the 13:45
mark of the first period until
about nine minutes into the
second.
iA meets
Among the topics discussed
at Tuesday's (24) B.I.A.
meeting, was the possibility
of white lights atop the store-
fronts of Seaforth businesses
at Christmas.
Liz Cardno, Present
Chairperson of the B.1.A.
explains the idea has many
unknowns attached to it at
this point. She suggests
lights would be a good way
to enhance the main street of
Seaforth, while urging the
public not to get too excited
about the idea because the
costs of electricity and the
responsibility of individual
stores to maintain their lights
are issue still to be resolved.
Cardno confirms there is
nothing in writing regarding
this idea.
Many avenues must be pur-
sued before the idea to have
Christmas lights in Seaforth
becomes a plan.
Corn imported
"Ontario has become a net
importer of coin at almost 2 -
million bushels per month
which converts to a shortfall
of 250,000 acres in the
province," according to the
Feb. 13 minutes of Huron
County Council's agriculture
• and public works committee.
Director of education Paul
Carroll answered that if they
choose Seaforth, then they
would be able to sell the two
Stratford offices and fill
enrollment at CHSS.
"We'd be down two build-
ings and up one secondary
school operating at an opti-
mum level:" he said. referring
to the Seaforth students who
would he bused to CHSS.
Later on in the debate.
Tuyten added that she person-
ally couldn't support thc clos-
ing of any schools.
"I won't support closing
schools to support administra-
tion purposes," she said. "I
just don't believe that's the
right approach." Maureen
Agar. a representative from
Seaforth high school's advi-
sory council, said students in
Seaforth were getting the pro-
grams that they needed.
"It's not want they want. it's
what they need:' Agar stated.
The student trustee from the
SDHS. Cheryl Workman. also
noted the school had put
together a proposal to the
board that could keep them
vital and able to offer pro-
grams that students need.
"Just the idea of having to
cldse doesn't seem right when
there's another option there."
Workman said.
However, some trustees dis-
agreed. pointing out that dos -
last split second
Shaun Anstett also scored
for Seaforth. as did Shawn
Walsh, whose goal with
about three minutes left in
regulation tied it up and sent
it into OT.
It was 2-1 Seaforth after the
first, and 5-4 Lucan after the
second, and the Irish hada 37
to 36 advantage in shots.
Friday night the Cents took
their stranglehold on the
series.
SHORT-HANDED
Scott Henderson's short-
handed goal at 6:42 of the
third period made it 4-2 at the
time, and stood as the winner.
Scott Van Dooren, Jo Jeff
Dunbar and Jason Henderson
also scored for the Cents.
who led 2-1 after the first and
3-2 after the second period.
Lucan enjoyed a 26 to 19
advantage in shots on the
game.
Seaforth did it the heart -
thumping, hard way, drawing
a minor penalty with 2:09
left. so playing six mcn to
four down much of the
stretch after thc Irish pulled
their keeper.
Chuck Robertson got both
big wins in the Seaforth net.
And the return of Jeff
Flanagan behind the centc-
naires blueline has had a defi-
nite steadying influence hack
there.
Thc series resumes again
tonight (Wednesday) in
Lucan at 8:15. Game six, if
necessary, is back in Seaforth
Friday at 8:30 p.m.
If the two teams need a sev-
enth it is slated for Lucan
Saturday night at 8:30.
Exeter's Hawks beat
Mitchell's Hawks twice on
the weekend, so the other
Morenz semi-final is now
tied 2-2.
Thc only thing certain is
Lucan or Seaforth will be
playing the Hawks.
ing the high school might end
up not only benefiting the stu-
dents, but the community as
well.
NO DECISION YET
"Perhaps we are not losing
a high school, but we are
gaining a hoard office."
Schenk stated, adding that
this would help offset any
losses the community would
suffer from losing the student
population.
Abby Armstrong, chair of
the board. also noted that the
hoard has to look at the big
picture. She stated that it cur-
rently has empty space in
some of its schools that needs
to be looked after.
"We have to deal with our
space problems," she stated.
adding that by moving
Seaforth students to Clinton.
it would benefit everyone.
Brent Cameron, the student
trustee from F.E. Madill,
added that even though he has
to be bused from Lucknow to
his school, he feels he is get-
ting a better program.
"Personally, 1 am getting a
better program." Cameron
said.
Following discussion;
trustees decided since they
had much new information to
absorb. no decision would be
made until the March 10
meeting in Stratford.
"We have a window of
opportunity...we have to
make a decision," Armstrong
said. "We don't have the time
to keep on prolonging this
decision."

appointed Reeve Robert
