Y STEP IAiNdE LEVESQUE Merchants m Huron County will be able w place their names on a central registry of merchandise suppliers for schools fund- raising projects. At its March 14 meeting, the Huron County Board of Education approved the amendment to its fund-raising policy after several merchants complained about un- fair competition. The central registry was a recommenda- tion from the executive committee after it had discussed the complaints. The com- mittee concluded that students shod be allowed to have fund-raising projects. "The committee felt the pupils receive a rewarding experience," said vice- chairman Eugene Frayne. Besides the central registry, principals acce ise isers will be requested to give merchants iw::F op- porturuty to quote prices for the stied,/ of merchandise for any project. Onthe same theme, the Board received a letter from the Clanton Business im- provement Area (BIA) indicating rto - jections to merchandise being sold if the proceeds are for chanty, educational trips or to enhance the character of the students. ..There is strong objection, however, to goods being sold to pay for equipment for the schools as members feel we all pay very high taxes to pay for anya>Ient the board feels necessary," stated the let- ter. Trustee Tony McQuail said he'd lvve thought the BIA would have approved of the students proceeds going towards equipment to reduce the impact on the board budget. rate teaehers t contract y Stephanie Levesque The Huron -Perth Separate School Board has ratified its 1983-84 teachers' contract in accordance with the provincial anti- inflation restraint act. The 155 teachers of the Huron -Perth unit of Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association ratified the contract prior to the board's ratification on March 14. "There was nothing to negotiate. The government did it for ua," said negotia- tions committee chairman trustee Ray Van Vliet. A press release issued by both parties stated, "In late January, the local unit of OECTA informed the Board that it did not wish to negotiate a new contract for 1983-84 because of the presence of the Ontario Restraint Program ( Bill 179). Instead it asked the board to simply adjust the cur- rent contract according to the terms of Bill 179. This means a five per cent increase to the salary grid and allowances for respon- sibility. All other contract clauses in- cluding benefits remain identical to those in the 1982-83 agreement." The new salary grid ranges from a low of $16,510 in level D, up from $15,725 current- ly, to a high of $42,135 in Level A4 with 12 years experience up from $40,130 present- ly. The lowest starting full-time salary for a teacher college graduate m September of 1983 will be $19,970, up from $19,920. The full-time salary for staff at September 1983 will range from $19,970 to $42,135. Principals will continue to receive 16.6 per cent of their grid salary as heir responsibility allowance. The average principal's salary for 1983-84 will be $46,990. The minimum principal's salary will be $25,850 while the maximum will be $49,130. The average teachers' salary for 1983=84 will be $31,940, up from the current average of $30,055. "In past years, negotiators ( both board and teacher) have attempted to relate salary levels to projected percentage and/or dollar changes in the Consumer Price Index," notes the press release. Gaeten Blanchette, president of the Huron -Perth unit of OECTA said there was a willingness among the teachers and the board to comply with Bill 179. School board wants better communication BY STEPIIANiIE LEVFSQUE Various techniques for improving com- munication both with staff and the general public were approved by the Huron County Board of Education. The board approved eight recommenda- tions from its executive committee at its March 14 meeting. The recommendations follow a commit- ment made by board chairman Dorothy Wallace to improve communication with the two sectors. Articles and a question and answer col- umn a'es ut education in Huron County will be published in Focus, a Signal -Star Publishing Co. Ltd., publication. In- dividual schools will publish school newsletters for distribution and have "school news" columns in local newspapers. These formats, it is hoped, will improve communication with the general public. Internal :.nununicationa win,. be en- couraged , ' inviting the chaii'metp. ,•q( various principals' committees to attend meetings of similar board committees. Principals and teachers will also be in- vited to make presentations to various board committees where it would assist the board in making a decision. Annual one -day seminars will also be held with board members, executive ad- ministrators andoprincipals on a current topic about education and every three years (following an election) a three-day workshop will be held for trustees, ad- ministration and principals where com- mon concerns and problems will be discussed in-depth.

Unless somebody claims this beautiful dog, it will be destroyed on Friday night. (Rod Hilts photo) Unless you can help Death rowf ore sheepdog By Rod Hilts Do you have room in your heart to adopt a warm, hairy sheepdog who was aban- doned on Tuesday in Clinton? If not this beautiful animal will be destroyed on Friday night. On Tuesday morning the animal con- troller for Clinton picked up the dog near Raglan St. and the public school. The local animal controller, who prefers to remain anonymous, says that he doesn't understand why the people in Clinton and surroundings areas "don't give a damn about what happens to their dogs." He says he picks up two or three dogs a week and many of them are in "sad shape." The sheepdog that he found on Tuesday was matted badly and was a little on the skinny side. Surprisingly enough, considering the circumstances, the dog was so happy to see people that it was playful and was very gentle natured. The dogs that are picked up by the controller are taken directly to the Seaforth Veterinary Clinic where they are boarded for three days in hope that the original owner or a new home for the dog can be found. If not the animal is destroyed and taken to an incinerator in Huron Park. According to the animal controller pe sle don't realize that they are paying for the cost of picking up the loose dogs, their keep and destroying them. Taxpayers are responsible for the animal controller's salary, his mileage, $5 a day for boarding the dog and $20 for the disposal of a dog. Dr. Brash of the Seaforth Veterinary Clinic said that if they find a new home for the. dog, the town where the dog was picked up will pay for the dog's vaccinations and for the three days board. "There are a lot of people that don't realize we are a pound. Sometimes if people phone in and tell us what type of dog they would like we can keep an eye out for them," said Dr. Brash. According to Dr. Brash people don't realize that there are certain financial responsibilities in owning a dog. "The dogs must get their shots, be fed properly and clipped. People shouldn't be allowed to have dogs if they can't look after them," said Dr. Brash. A staggering statistic that people should look at are the number of dogs that are picked up in comparison with how many of those are destroyed. Since January 1, 1983, 18 dogs have beer, picked up in Clinton, S'eaforth and Tuckersmith. Eleven of those dogs had to be destroyed because no one wanted them. There is a $50 claimer fee if your dog is picked up by the animal controller. According to the animal controller a lot of dogs are dropped off in the spring and fall. He says he finds a lot of lost hunting dogs during the winter months. "Why get an animal if you don't intend to look after it? When the novelty of having that fuzzy little ball wears off and the dog gets big, people are saying the hell with it," said the animal controller. Both the animal controller and Dr. Brash of the Seaforth Veterinary Clinic support the newly formed Huron County Humane Society that is helping to remedy the problem of abandoned pets. "A humane society is a great idea. People would know where to go to look for dogs," said Dr. Brash. The Huron County Humane Society began in the fall and its ultimate goal is to provide a shelter for lost and found pets. Presently they are making an effort to raise funds to operate a shelter. In the meantime the local Humane Society offers a lost, found and placement service. For more information call 529- 7865 or 529-7851. If you're pet is lost get in touch with the town clerk, local police or the Seaforth Clinic.
