Seven townships express
concern about corridor
w•
An important meeting was
held in the Turnberry Town-
ship council chambers at
Bluevale . on Friday evening,
Nov. 16, when representatives
of seven area councils met with
the Bruce -Huron Hydro
Negotiating Committee.
Present were representatives
from Bruce, Greenoch, Culross,
Trnberry, Morris, Hullett and
McKilloi Townships.
The meeting was called after
the township councils involved
had asked what they -.eould'do
to aid the stork of the
• negotiating :committee.
Discussion. ranged from.
possible future expansion of the
present power corridor, in-
volving Classes One and Two
agricultural land, 'to the -un-
satisfactory compensation
being offered to land `Owners.
Another point of discussion was
the eventual loss of assessment
on properties adjacent to the
power corridor.
Reeve William Elston of
Morris Township said that af-
ter reading a presentation
which his council received from
Don Fraser on Ontario Hydro
there was no doubt in his mind
about the future expansion of
certain parts of the corridor.
It was also revealed that
many of the public not involved
with the line still do not
realize the size and number of
towers proposed. In the
Wingham area alone it is• ex-
pected that the lire' w ill he
three towers wide, carrying 700
k.v. and one carrying 250 k.v.,
plus a ten:acre transformer
station with a microwave tower
405 feet in height All this with
the possibility of expansion to
the corridor and possible in-
crease in voltage to 700 k v
All councils agreed "to make
presentations to the ex-
propriation authority, which is
the Ministry of the Environ-
ment.
ROVERTSON ROUNDUP
It was also pointed out by
Mason Batley, chairman of the
Ontario Federation's special
powerline committee, that
other areas of the province are
not accepting Hydro offers to
purchase and that the un-
satisfactur\ relations with On-
tario are province -wide.
New school program
will benefit students
in dull courses
Beginning in Sep; ember,
special board school placement
committees will he empowered
to place 14 year and 15 -year-
old students, who :-ire not
benefiting from exIst1ng school
programs, into an out of school
program or activity.
Education Minister "Phomas
Wells made rhe announcement
in presenting the ' Ministry's
spendi-rig estimates to the
Legislature. Mr. Wells said the
new program does not reduce
the age at which a student may
leave school which is now 16.
Students placed in ether
programs, which could include
employment, or a combination
of school and employment will
remain On the rolls of-' their
school until they are 16.
Mr. Wells said that the new
program is being introduced
because of the Ministry's 'con-
cern for a small, highly select
group of, 14 ,and 15 -year-olds
who do not seem to benefit
from existing programs. The
new program, he said, is not an
,'escape valve" for a particular
group of students but rather
reflects .a recognition and ac-
ceptance of the fact that
legitimate learning experiences
can occur both in rind out of
school.4
—There is ,no reason
whv students could not
earn credits where part of the
credit is earned in school and
the other portion earned on the
job in actual work related ex-
perience," he said.
Students will only be ,placed
in the new program—after full
consideration of their in-
dividual case by the .cal
school board placement com-
mittee, Mr. Wells said.
The past week was the last
short week Robertson School
will have in the year 1973. All
other weeks following will have
five days but it seems to go
quickly anyway.
The students are beginning
to study for Christmas exams
and do project.a.,to..maki up the
first term marks. Many con-
cealed facts were revealed on
Monday night and Wednesday
afternoon while parents visited
the teachers and, became infor-
med of their child's progress. In
the junior wing the report cards
were handed out at the inter-
view time.
The soccer championship was
played and team six was vic-
torious over tean. four. The
team consisted of Wilmer Mit-
chell, Mike Milley, Jim Horton,
Terry Switzer, George, Swan
and Richard Rawson. The
boys' volleyball series was of-
ficially opened on Thursday,
November 21st by Mr. Leggatt
and volunteer students of j its
school are refereeing the games.
Last week our school, trem—
bled for ten seconds as an
unexpected earth tremor hit
Goderich. However, no loose
bricks were found around the
school.
N r4 Young, a student from
Chicago, formerly from South
Africa attended our school last
Friday afternoon. Nicki was
spending , her Thanksgiving
weekend with her friend,
Pamela Lambert. We were
pleased Co have her visit us.
Many students have been
busy helping decorate the float
for the parade on Saturday
December 1, 1913, and -athis
•
assistance h'as certainly been
appreciated. "Oh no!" the
parade is getting closer. See
