HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1985-09-11, Page 13Out in October Huron Atlas almost ready The A -Day or Atlas Day is drawing nigh. Atter three years and some con- troversy, the Huron County historical atlas will be released on Wednesday, October 23, Goderich 'l'ownship Reeve Grant Stirling announced at the September session of county council. A "coming out" event is in the pro- cess of being organized for that day, when the atlas arrives from the prin- ting company in St. Catherine's. Although no confirmations have been received, Premier David Peterson, Minister of Health Murray Elston and Minister of Agriculture Jack Riddell will be invited as will Huron -Bruce MP Murray Cardiff. When undertaken by Huron county council in late 1983, the atlas con- templated was similar in size and style to the original Beldon Atlas of 1879 and a subsequent Perth atlas published in 1982. However, Reeve Stirling said increasing public in- terest and participation have resulted n in a much larger book consisting of 350 pages. Atlas co-ordinator Bev Brown cau- tioned that people arriving to pick up atlases should note that the books are heavy. Editor A.Y. McLean said each book weighs 7.5 pounds. Two accidents are hit and run Two of the five collisions in- vestigated this week by the Exeter police department were hit and run. The parked cars hit by unknown vehicles were owned by James Bishop, Exeter, and Daniel Harris, St. Pauls. Bishop's car sustained damage of $400 and there was $500 to the Har- ris vehicle. There were two collisions on Thurs- day, the first of which occurred in the parking lot at Darling's IGA. A vehi- cle driven by Connie Connelly, Goderich, backed into a vehicle own- ed by Cindy Verhoeve, Hensall., Damage was set at $1,000. A two -vehicle collision occurred in front of 28 James St. when a vehicle being hacked out of a parking lot by Morgan Allcroft, London, collided with a parked car owned by Mary ' McLellan. Damage was $350. The other accident occurred en Fri- day in front of the Kentucky 'Fried Chicken north of Highway 83 when a vehicle driven by William Sims, Hen- sall, collided with the rear of one driven by Joan Cleave, Exeter, while the latter was stopped awaiting to make a left turn. Damage was $500. On September 3, Paul Wolstnholme reports chasing a lone male out of the front showroom at Pryde Monuments early in the morning. There was no damage and nothing was taken. Special arrangements have been made to assist patrons and those who have purchased prepublication copies of the Atlas to pick up their copies on presentation of their certificate and receipt. A temporary office in a Laidlaw transport van will be located next to the north entrance to the Court House in Goderich. It was noted that Laidlaw donated, for free, the use of the transport van. Ms. Brown said copies of the Atlas will be available for distribution from the Court House location commencing at 10 a.m. Wednesday, October 23 con- tinuing daily Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30p.m. for two weeks un - Plan school inside walls The way has been paved for an in- dependent school inside the walls'of the Bluewater Centre located just out- side of Goderich. The school, set up for the young of- fenders at the centre, will be ad- ministered by the Huron County board of education, but paid for by the ministry of education and toso extent the ministry of correctional services. The school board gave approval to an agreement between it and the provin- cial corrections ministry at its September session. Superintendent Paul Carroll said the regional offices of both provincial ministries have approved ,the agreement. Carroll said about 10 to 15 teachers will be hired as will a principal, librarian and possibly a vice- principal. The education ministry pays for staff and school supplies. The superintendent said he expects each class will have no more than 16 pupils. He told the school board that young offenders started arriving at the centre the last week of August. "I was told that on average, one person per day will be arriving for the next three to four months," said Carroll. A total of 120 young people, 100 males and 20 females, ranging in age from 15 to 20 will be accommodated at the Bluewater Centre. The correc- tions ministry will be providing a library in addition to the regular classrooms, as well as a support budget. Carroll says the staff will be initial- ly hired from within the board's own teaching staff. He noted that both elementary and secondary teachers will be needed for the programs to be offered. The superintendent said he has received inquiries about teaching careers both from Huron County teachers and teachers from Southwestern Ontario. It was also noted that security would be provided by the Bluewater Centre. FIRST SERVICE -- Rev. Bob Donnan (left) and assistant pastor Rev.

Guelph at 10:30 a.m. Dave Abbott, community relations officer with Ontario Hydro, explain- ed the route chosen this past summer by the provincial utility at the September 5 meeting of Huron Coun- ty council. He also announced the dates of the preliminary hearing and the regular hearings. The regular hearings are expected to start November 12, the day of the municipal election across Ontario. Turnberry Township Reeve Brian McBurney questioned who chose the November 12 date and Mr. Abbott told him it was the joint hearings board, which conducts the hearings. The hydro spokesman said the date and location of the hearings - Guelph - could be changed by the joint hear- ings board if sufficient reason is given by the people involved when the preliminary hearing takes place. Ontario Hydro announced its chosen route M7 in mid'July. The pro- posal, if approved, will have hydro constructing: - A 500,000 volt transmission line from the Bruce Nuclear Power Development to the Essa transformer station near Barrie. This line would run north of Chesley, south of Markdale and Flesherton and cross the • Niagara escarpment near Lavender; - A 500,000 volt transmission line Refuse hearing for ex -teacher Former SHDHS math teacher Joanne Young has been refused a board of reference hearing by the ministry of education and appears to have few avenues left in her battle with the Huron County board of education over her dismissal late last year. However, the 58 -year-old anti- nuclear activist swears to continue her fight to her "dying day". She said this week that she didn't know what more could be done in view of the ministry's decision, but said she'd seek every avenue possible to appeal. Young has sent the ministry letter to the Ontario Secondary School Teacher's Federation in what she describes as a "last desperate at- tempt" to have her firing as a teacher at South Huron District high School re-examined. She said the ministry letter was a "smack in the face, a denial of an im- partial hearing." Shirley Weary, Huron County's District 4 representative to the teachers federation, said she hasn't been notified if provincial officials in- tend to take further action. "The mat- ter is in the hands of lawyers at our Ontario office in Toronto." Dan Murphy of Goderich, lawyer for the Huron board of education, said the ministry's refusal of Young's ap- plication for a board of reference was "quite a surprise," despite a divi- sional court ruling last month that refused to overturn a suspension im- posed on Young for her anti-nuclear activities. "It's certainly very unusual," he said. "I know of only two or three cases in Ontario where the ministry has refused boards of reference and not one where the facts were like the Young case." Murphy speculated that the ministry based its refusal on the divi- sional court ruling. "It's likely the ministry saw no value in hearing what amounted to the same facts and circumstances twice." Young was fired Dec. •31 for repeated absences from class after she took unscheduled time off to at- tend protest rallies and was jailed for her part in demonstrations. She was suspended without pay for 12 days in November, 1983, an action which prompted an Ontario Labor Relations Board hearing. The board upheld Young's suspension, but she appealed to the divisional court for a judicial review. from the Bruce Nuclear Power Development to a new London area transformer station in Caradoc Township. This line would pass east of Ripley and Zurich and west of Ailsa Craig; - A 500,000 volt transmission line from the new London area transformer station, along an existing 115,000 volt right-of-way, to the Nan- ticoke generating station. This line would pass north of the Caradoc In- dian Reserve and follow the existing right-of-way east of St. Thomas to north of the Nanticoke generating station. Abbott said there are alternatives Ontario Hydro is willing to consider. One such alternative in Huron Coun- ty, would be to follow the existing 230 kv line from Bruce to Seaforth instead of the more westerly route. The chairman of the joint hearings board is R.B. Eisen, a member of the environmental assessment board. The other two members, J.R. Mills and R.W. Rodman, are both members of the Ontario Municipal Board. Great Playhouse year "The 1985 season, and my last season as artistic director at Huron Country Playhouse was a great year, both at the box office and on stage", says Ron Ulrich. "Our most popular musical, The Sound of Music played to sold -out houses nearly every night and our most talked about play, Move Over Mrs. Markham had people laughing in the aisles. This fall, I'll be travell- ing to St. Catherines to work at Press Theatre as their Artistic Director and I'll be putting that popular farce on stage again". Ron was delighted to spend three seasons at Huron Country Playhouse and says he feels fortunate to have • • • if ltlill- DUBLIN FEED MILL Dublin 345-2330 seen the theatre build a new state; Playhouse II, and to enlarge the Main Stage seating with one hundred seats in the brand new balcony. Next year, 1986 marks the 15th season of Huron Country Playhouse and it promises to be an exciting one with plans being made by Steven Schipper, next year's Artistic Direc- tor. The Playhouse has been lucky with its talented Artistic Directors over the years: James Murphy, Aileen Taylor Smith, Ronald Ulrich and now Steven Schipper. Subscrip- tions will soon be on sale with details on the highlights of next year's ex- citing season.
