catholic school board elects new
chair at inaugural meeting
Stew Slater
Commitment to education runs
thick in the blood of Stratford's
Marcy family, and when it comes to
Ron Marcy, that's particularly evi-
dent.
Marcy was the unanimous choice
of trustees on Monday, Dec. 4 to
take over as 2007 chair of the
Huron -Perth Catholic District
School Board.
It's a post he has held six times
since first joining the board in 1974,
most recently in 2004.
"It's still pretty much the same as
last time. Declining enrolment is
still our major concern, but we've
also got the addition to complete at
St. Mike's (high school in
Stratford)," the long-time trustee
said following the board's inaugural
meeting.
He also noted there's a relatively
new Education Minister at Queen's
Park, and it's never possible to pre-
dict everything that might filter

down from the provincial govern-
ment.
Marcy is a former high school
Math teacher, having followed in
the footsteps of his father. And
three of his children have also cho-
sen the teaching path, two in the
Huron -Perth board and another in
the Halton Catholic board.
Joining him on the board for 2007
are three other long-time trustees:
Mike Miller from South
Huron/Bluewater, who was
acclaimed as 2007 vice chair,
Bernard Murray from Perth South,
and outgoing chair Vince McInnes -
of North Perth/Perth East/Huron
East.
The one newcomer will be Jim
McDade, a former teacher but also
a former principal and administra-
tor who spent 31 years with the
Huron -Perth board before retiring
in June, 2005.
Many in Huron County will recall
the Goderich resident from his
stints as principal at St. Marys
(Goderich), St. Joseph (Clinton)
and St. James (Seaforth).
For the past six years of his
career, he served as the board's
Special Education Coordinator.
McDade represents Goderich and
the northern portions of Huron
County. He replaces Mary -
Catherine McKeon, who originally
submitted papers to run in the
recent municipal election, but then
withdrew and allowed McDade to
claim the seat by acclamation.
County councillors
bid farewell
Cheryl Heath
Warden Rob Morley (South Huron)
gave a tip of his hat to fellow coun-
cillors and county staff for their sup-
port during his nearly 20 years of
municipal service at his final county
council meeting on Wednesday.
Morley, who opted not to seek a
third term as mayor of South Huron,
says the experience is one he'll trea-
sure.
Commemorative plaques were pre-
sented to outgoing county council-
lors.
Reasons for not returning include
unsuccessful election bids and retire-
ment.
"Grandma just wants to be a
grandma," says Coun. Ellen
Connelly (Goderich) in explanation
for her choice not to seek another
term as deputy reeve.
Councillors were all presented
with gifts by the outgoing warden
and his wife, Anne.
