HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1985-03-13, Page 33Bishop hopes Catholics get
high schools in Huron -Perth
it was a pep rally for Catholic
educational leaders in Huron and
Perth Counties.
()ver 200 people including teachers,
school board trustees, priests, and
parents from school and church
groups gathered in Mitchell last week
to hear London diocese Bishop John
Sherlock say he hopes Catholic high
schools are established in Huron and
Perth
The bishop started with the history
of Catholic education and ended by
quoting Pope John Paul H from his
visit to Canada last year.
While saying he wasn't criticizing
the public school system. the bishop
said there is no basis of faith in the
public schools.
••%Ve need to know the truth about
mankind and unless we know and de-
pend on (od. we know nothing," he
said.
"It's a horrible loss."
"What a Catholic high school does
is offer a choice of values, it's not in-
volved in doctrine. but offers a choice
of direction," the bishop said.
Ile reminded those present that
their ancestors had fought for
Catholic schools and suffered both
economically and socially.
Historically, there have been
Catholic high schools in Huron and
Perth. From 1878 to 1963 there was the
Lauretta Academy in Stratford. In
1963 St. Michael's was built on that
site and offered Grades 9 and 10 for
a time. In Kinkora, north of Mitchell.
there was a Catholic hifh school
around 1916.
in Dublin, the Ursuline sisters ran
a high school from 1915 to 1969. That
building now hottses the Huron -Perth
FAVORS SCHOOL — London diocese Bishop, John Sherlock encouraged parents.and teachers to send
their children to a Catholic high school. He was speaking in Mitchell. In the photo, from left to right
are: director of education William Eckert, the bishop and chairman of the Catholic secondary school
planning committee John Devlin of Stratford.

What can concerned land owners in
the Bruce -to -London area do now?
They need to get out to the Hydro in-
formation meetings and make it clear
that they expect the line out of the
Bruce Nuclear Power Development
will conform to the Royal Commis-
sion on Electric Power Planning
recommendation that it have
MINIMUM IMPACT ON
AGRICULTURE. They may suggest
that the original hearing hoard was
right to recommend the line going
from Bruce to Barrie. Aftettedla_,
— 'o ma a it clear they
are going to stand up for their rights.
And clearly they need to get
organized.
The lawyers and stock brokers who
own cottages in the area of the Bruce
to Barrie route did.
Members of the Foodland-Hydro
Committee are planning two
meetings to help affected land owners
organize to protect their property
rights and prepare for the upcoming
hearings. The first meeting will be at
8:30, March 21 at South Huron Secon-
dary School in Exeter. The second
will he at 8:30 March 22 at F.E. Madill
Secondary School in Wingham. In the
meantime people should talk with
their neighbours and start collecting
names and addresses of those willing
to become involved in (his
organization.
Anyone wishing more information
should contact me.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Editor: the Foodland-Hydro Committee
which examined the proposal. We
presented an alternative proposal to
the hearing board which was study-
ing Hydro's plan. We demonstrated
that a line from Bruce to Barrie would
have much less agricultural impact.
In the London area rebuilding a 115
kV line would minimize new impacts
on agriculture. The hearing board
agreed with us and told Ilydro to pro-
ceed with our proposal.
When Hydro had developed this
plan to the stage where they identified
owners and urban cottage owners got
excited and took Ilydro and (he hear-
ing board to court on the legal ques-
tion of adequate notice. The court
nullified the hearing board's decision
on this legal technicality. This put
Hydro hack to square one and Ilydro
decided to develop line locations from
Bruce to London before proceeding
with a new hearing.
The original hearing board held
well-publicized arid well -attended
hearings. 11 received input from the
Ministry of Agriculture and Food as
well as from concerned farm groups.
1 believe it made a wise decision. 1l
seems unfortunate that 34 days of
hearings werenullified at the last mo-
ment by the action of people who
hadn't bothered to be involved when
they had the opportunity.
By now many of your readers will
have received maps and letters from
Ontario Hydro telling them where a
possible 500 kV Transmission line
could be built. I thought they might be
' interested in knowing the history sur-
rounding the project and some of the
things they can now do to stop it.
In the early 1970's Hydro was pro-
posing to bring several more lines out
of the Bruce Nuclear Power Develop-
ment. This caused such an uproar
that the Royal Commission on Elec-
tric Power Planning was established
aspec s
of Ilydro's planning. After several
million dollars and several years -of
study and hearings the Porter Com-
mission recommended that one more
line could be built out of Bruce and
THAT 1'I' SHOULD HAVE
MINIMUM IMPACT ON PRIME
AGRICULTURAL LAND.
Ilydro then developed various
possible systems and recommended
one which included a line from Bruce
to London. The farm community- had
a hard time believing this was the
route with the least agricultural im-
pact. A coalition was formed called

Roman Catholic separate school
board offices.
The bishop also covered provincial
history. Catholic education rights
were included in the British North
American (BNA) Act in 1967.
However, in 1871, when the first high
school act was passed, Catholic high
school education was omitted.
One hundred years later, in 1971,
the Progressive Conservative govern-
ment in Ontario won an election
because it wouldn't extend funding to
Catholic high schools.
"I don't want to be around in 2071,
something bad always happens in
'71," said the bishop.
At one point when answering ques-
tions, Bishop Sherlock got angry at
the suggestion that by attending
Catholic schools, students would be
avoiding the "real world". Pointing
out pornography and drugs and
alcohol, the bishop asked "is that"( he
real world?"
Director of education Bill Eckert
also spoke. He presented possible
enrolment figures for a Catholic high
school in each of the two counties.
In Huron there would, if all Catholic
grade 9 students in 1986 enrolled, he
130 grade 9 students. If these students
continue on until grade 13 and a grade
is added each year, there could be 5.47
students by 1990.
Eckert said •60 percent enrolment
would be more realistic and that
would mean 328 students by 1990.
In Perth, there would be 144 Grade
9 students in September of 1986. By
1990 a school could have an enrolment
of 678. At 60 percent enrolment, there
would be 407 students in 1990.
"It's a matter of us, the educational
leaders, educating the local com-
munity," said Eckert.
Three Million
for road jobs
Over $3 million will be spent this
year to upgrade almost 50 miles of
roads in Huron County.
County council gave approval to a
$6.1 million road budget at its March
7 meeting. Over half will be spent on
road construction, resurfacing and
engineering studies.
The largest single project for this
year is a $1.1 million road construc-
tion of 9.3 km on County Road 3 from
Highway 4 to County Road 12.
A second road construction project,
on County Road 22, is expected to cost
$670,000. The project involves con-
structing 8.2 km of road from County
Road 20 to Highway 86.
Four roads are earmarked for
i iY.1
million. The roads are County Road
38, 34, 3 and 13. The cost of resurfac-
ing two kilometres on County Road 34
is to be shared with Perth County.
Another shared project with Perth
is hot mix paving on County Road 14.
Other road department expenses
total $2.8 million. This includes almost
$800,000 for regular road
maintenance.
County engineer Bob Dempsey put
$640,000 in the budget for winter con-
trol. Last year he budgeted $625.000
but only spent $610,000.
The road department had a surplus
of $683,000 last year which is being
turned over to revenue in the 1985
budget.
Mr. Dempsey said a special request
od $300,000 for the road department
last year was spent on the projects it
was specified for.
The county engineer's anticipated
provincial grant of $3.3 million was
reduced by $20,000 by the ministry of
transportation and communications.
