News School board to hold special meetings to hear school councils on accommodation By Stew Slater Speciol to The Expositor The Avon Maitland District School Board will move out of its Seaforth headquarters for two special meetings at the end of November, to hear school council reports from the 46 schools recommended for possible changes under the board's accommodation review. Possible closure has been suggested in the case of 19 elementary schools and one secondary school (Seaforth District High School). At the other schools, changes such as border alterations and the congregation of Grades 7 and 8 students have been recommended, largely in, order to accommodate students relocated by school closures. In advance of a Dec. 11 regular board meeting, at which trustees are expected to be presented with a shortened list of schools recommended for further study, school councils from each affected facility have been asked to prepare a report. Those reports will be delivered during two special meetings: Monday, Nov. 26 at Mitchell District High School and Wednesday, Nov. 28 at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton. Both meetings will begin at 7 p.m. The Nov. 26 meeting will host 24 of the school councils, representing schools within the territory served by high schools in Mitchell, Stratford, St. Marys and Exeter. This includes elementary schools in Hensall, Zurich, Mornington and Milverton, which are near boundaries with other secondary school feeder zones. Reports from schools within the areas served by high schools in Seaforth, Clinton, Goderich, Wingham and Listowel will be presented on Nov. 28. The extra meetings were approved by trustees at a regular Avon Maitland meeting Tuesday, Nov. 13. Three other special meetings were also approved on a tentative basis, in preparation for an expected rise in the number of public delegations brought forward as the accommodation review process continues. Tuesday, Dec. 4, the board will meet to decide on year-long terms for chair, vice -chair and delegate for the Ontario Public School Boards' Association. The following night, Dec, 5, a tentative meeting has been scheduled in anticipation of delegations wishing to address the board prior to the expected Dec. 11 vote on a shortened list of schools for further study. Another tentative meeting was set for Wednesday, Dec. 12 -- according to information distributed to trustees, "to deal with matters related to the Student Accommodation Review." When the first list of schools for possible change was presented to trustees in late October, the board was forced to postpone the conclusion of the meeting an entire week after it got too late for all trustees to have their say. The tentative Dec. 12 meeting would insure a more timely conclusion, should the Dec. 11 meeting be extended beyond one evening. Similarly, a tentative meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 27. Currently, the Tuesday, Feb. 26 regular board meeting is scheduled as the night trustees would make a final vote on changes, including closure. The open sessions of all regular board meetings begin at 8 p.m. For the tentatively -scheduled special meetings, there will be no closed session prior to the meeting, so those will begin at 7 p.m. All meetings occur at Seaforth District High School. Bluewater has boom year in construction The year 2001 is a boom year in construction in Bluewater as the number of permits has exceeded last year's by 65. With just one month left in the year, building permits total 145 in all five wards as of Nov. 12; last year there were 80. Blucwatcr's municipal building inspector believes low interest rates and the low Canadian dollar are causing more activity than usual. "Last year and this year are running neck and neck," said Chief Building Official Milt Dietrich. "A lot of people were holding onto property and with the stock market and interest rates...real estate seems to be the best bet. Plus the American dollar." A look at specific building areas show more hog barns are being built or proposed in the former Stanley Township than past years and more cottages are being built along the Lakeshore in Hay, Stanley and Bayfield, mainly by Americans, he said. Though Dietrich did inspections in two different municipalities last year, Hay and Stephen townships, and isn't intimately familiar with last year's activity in most Bluewater wards, he said 75 per cent of new agricultural construction in Bluewater in 2001 were hog barns. More new farm buildings were erected in Stanley Ward this year, said Dietrich. Over SI million was invested in six new barns, including four hog barns, one beef and one dairy. Stanley permitted four hog barns last year plus two poultry and one dairy. Hay Township's five-year building report (19962000) shows nine permits were issued in 2000 for new agricultural construction, worth a total of $596,500. In 2001, six permits were issued in Hay Ward with a total value of $304,559. The Hay summary shows a peak in new barns in 1998 at 13 permits issued (a building value of $665,500). Of note, agricultural additions spiked to a value of $412,790 last year with only four building permits; an increase of 234 per cent from 1996. Ten new cottages worth over $I million were built in Hay in 2000, making it the most active of the past five years. This spending trend continued in 2001 with eight permits issued between January and Nov. 12 and a total value of $1,121,000. In Stanley Ward this year, four new cottage were built with a value of $707,000. New single family dwelling construction was strong in 2000 in Hay continuing a trend of ups and downs in each of the five years. The number of permits jumped to seven in 1998, making that the best of five years, when over $1,3 million in new homes were built. More homes were renovated in 2000 than ever before, shows the five-year report. Eight building permits were issued for $278,858 worth of renovations, topping all other years back to 1996.
