At its November meeting, the board approved hiring a second superintendent of education, • this one to be French and English speaking. The decision was made by a 12 to 2 recorded vote. The two board members against the hiring were chairman Ron Murray of RR 1, Dublin and Tim McDonnell of RN 2, Gadshill. Murray said the board's personnel committee is also considering hiring an assis- tant superintendent of business and finance. Director of education Bill Eckert explained that the new superintendent would he responsible for setting up the French Immersion programs Katimavik Korner Time flies when you're hav- ing fun.

Other duties include sharing responsibilities with the pre- sent superintendent. One of these responsibilities would be communication. A recent ministry of education study pointed out a lack of communication in the Huron - Perth system. Possible consolidation of schools is another area where the new superintendent would be involved said the director.

One always finds its way to another location. Often they'll turn up under the bed, or in a corner. But 90 percent of the time, they never turn up at all. Where do those brown socks go'' Earrings must go hiding in the same mysterious place as brown socks. You can take off two matched earrings and put them on your dresser. But next morning, only one will be there. Sometimes they show up beside the bathroom sink. or in your wallet. But more often, they disappear never to be seen again. I solved the dilemma of one disappearing earring - I now wear three earrings; two in one ear and one in the other. Thal way, that one extra earring never goes to waste. If small items are con- tinually disappearing around your house, you should try liv- ing in a house which is undergoing renovations. Everything disappears in the shuffle. Most of the wander- ing items are tools being us- ed in the construction. Screwdrivers, hammers and sandpaper regularly get up and walk away. But they usually turn up a few days later. Since he's evolved into a handyman, my husband has spent much of his time pok- ing for strayed tools. One lit- tle item in particular keeps disappearing. only to turn up in unlikely places. it is a han- dy gadget called a stud - finder. designed with a magnet to find nail heads. thereby locating the, studs In 'yhich the nails are driven The stud -finder is supposed to save wear and tear on your knuckles as you go tap - tapping down the wall. The trouble is, no one can ever find the stud -finder when it is needed to find studs. Once you have located the stud by nail. the stud -finder usually Iurns up On one occasion. the stud -finder was left attached to the side of the surd, and was nearly covered over by drywall But unlike most tools that turn up eventually, some are never seers agars- My handyman -husband is now on his fourth nail set That's that punch like thing that you hammer to hide nail heads in the wall so you can putty over them and then put on the urethane Somewhere In our house. three nail sets got tired of being pounded and decided to hide :At first. we hunted for them But we soon learned that it was easier 10 buy a new one than lake two days off work to Inv 10 find the old one But that has proven to he a dangerous precedent. as we ha ye now purchased four nail sets and we're still not 91111e finisher) I nisi hope this fourth one dress 1 decade to loin his three cousins before the work is completed 1s with most disappearing things. these, text will even tually show up But of course they won't turn up until we have all (sir work finished and no longer need them Join the human race.

The chairman voted against the motion because he feels trustees need to know what direction the board is going in over the next five to 10 years. "I personally would tike to see a needs assessment done," said the chairman. The new superintendent's appointment is effective January 1 and is slated as a three year term. Murray said the salary for both new positions is negotiable. However, he did point out that board policy has the position of superintendent of education paid $5,000 over the maximum principal's salary in the first year and $6,000 in the second year. The maximum principal's salary is $50,000. The chairman said the other position of assistant to the current superintendent of business and finance would have a salary similar to the principal's.
