.cation Guide when he asked, -4Is
thele any identification for fords
for special education?"
Director Bob Allan respondedin
saying that a small amount of:the
funds teen identified as going.ao
special education but that therehad
been no carrying through of the
funds from year to year.
Chapman also questioned the ter-
minology of a clause in the
S.EA.C. report discussing enrich-
ment and special education for the
gifted. Chapman queried the use
of "needs -based" in describing the
type of enrichment aimed at the
gifted. Superintendent Arnold
lathers explained it as a program
aiming at "grouping children based
on a certain set of needs." He
made reference to pulling together
:children exceptionally gifted in an
area of study such as english into
an english based program.
The motion was cartied And
Chapman istrzd, "it:ahink:yiece
is. a _pretty good ipecTal edr fon
-program in this county."

reviewed their responsibilities for
the 1992-93 budget. It was decided
to encourage elementary schools to
reduce transportation costs for fam-
ily studies and design and technolo-

the instrumental music programs
and it was also decided to restrict
the number of in -school meetings
that would require occasional
teacher time for curriculum devel-
opment or curriculum writing.

Village asks for second opinion
GRAND BEND - The village
wants a second opinion.
Administrator Paul Turnbull has
been given authorization by Grand
Bend Council to investigate the
cost of a lawyer to give them an-
other opinion on the court appeal
surrounding the Archie Gibbs'
beach case.
"We're all new here, we didn't
fight our way here," said Turnbull
in regards to the lack of knowledge
he and council have about the case.
He said it would cost about $800
to have a lawyer investigate the ap-
peal which is currently being han-
dled by the village's solicitor Dan
Murphy of Goderich.
"We're going to have to spend
some dollars. If you want some
benefit you'll have to pay more than
that," said deputy -mayor Cam Ivey.
Councillor Phil Maguire said it
would be in couhcirs best interest
to have another lawer look at the

• Former deputy -reeve Shirley
Mitchell attended council Monday!
night in an attempt to receive a
cheque for $192.50 which dates
back to meetings she attended in
December 1990.
'Why it wasn't taken up at -that
time, I'm not sure," said Turnbull,
"It's well over a year ago and I'm!
not sure we know the particulars
behind it," said deputy -mayor Cam;
Ivey.
Council decided to defer this and
get additional information.
• Joe Green attended council and
wished to have 63 River Road re-
zoned in order to operate a business
which sells turkey products. Cur-
rently the property is zoned for the
sale of fish but not turkey.
"I really don't see much differ-
ence between selling turkey and
fish," said Ivey.
Council defered this to its plan-
ning meeting on Monday.
• Festivities arc underway for
Canada Day celebrations in Grand
Bend which will include fireworks.
• The village's property standards
committee will be meeting in the
very near future to decide how to
handle four properties on Warwick
Street.
The properties do not meet up to
the village's standards but it was
also pointed out by Turnbull that it
has taken as long as nine months
for a case to come to court involv-
ing various Grand Bend property
owners.
It was suggested the committee
try and meet with the owners on
Warwick Street and see if they
would begin to clean up the proper-
ties.
