The. way has been paved for an indepen-
dent school inside the walls of the Bluewater
Centre located just outside of Goderich.
The school, set up for the young offenders
at the centre, will be administered by the
Huron County Board of Education, but paid
for by the ministry of education and, to
some extent, by the ministry of correctional
services. The school board gave approval to
an agreement between it and the provincial
corrections ministry at its September ses-
sion.
Superintendent Paul Carroll said the
regional offices of both provincialministries
have approved the agreement.

of August.
"I was • told that on average, .one person
per day will be arriving for the (next three to
four months," said Carroll.

20 females, will be accommodated at the
Bluewater Centre The onrroei inn c m i n i ct ry

from within the board's own teaching staff.
He noted that both elementary, and secon-
dary teachers will be needed for the pro-
grams to be offered. The superintendent
said he has received enquiries about
teaching careers both from Huron County
teachers and teachers from Southwestern
Ontario.
It was also noted that security would be
provided by the Bluewater Centre.
Relief funds available to propertyowners
Property u:v:hlr- aloes, the Great bakes
who face serious flood and erosion damage
from above-average water levels will
receive assistance from the Ontario govern-
ment.
Natural Resources Minister Vincent Ker-
rio and Municipal Affairs Minister Bernard
Grandruaitre announced emergency pro-
grams now are in• place to alleviate the
serious flooding and erosion damage caused
this spring by high water levels, particular-
ly in southwestern Ontario.
"Two key actions have been taken in
response to the situation," said Kerrio. "A
short -terra emergency program is in place
to -address the immediate problem. For the
longer terra, an interministerial committee
has been formed to investigate shoreline
nianagement options designed to reduce the
impact of high water levels in the future:"
Areas along southern Lake Huron, the St.
Clair River, Lake St. Clair, the Detroit
River and Lake Erie have4 een subjected to
high water levels this year. There are
estimates that damages from shoreline
flooding and erosion could reach millions of
dollars.
Grandmaitre said short-term measures
provided by the Ministry of Municipal Af-
fairs include provincial funding under the
Shoreline • Property Assistance Program,
and emergency assistance to homeowners

"My ministry will also provide assistance
to municipalities under the Unconditional
Grants Program in cases where the costs of
restoring or protecting essential services
would place an undue burden on local tax-
payers," he said.
The Ministry of Natural Resources has
established an extension service to provide
technical advice and information to proper-
ty owners on the repair.andprotection of
shoreline properties. The ministry also has
a program to identify priority areas and
prepare .emergency shore protection plans
for flood- and erosion -damaged areas.
Other current programs include a
Ministry of Agriculture and Food program
to repair dikes and drains constructed under
the Drainage Act. The Ministry of
Transportation and Communications will
assist municipalities with the cost of repair-
ing municipal roads and 'streets which have
been damaged by flooding or erosion..
Conservation authorities may apply to the
Ministry of Natural Resources for
assistance to carry out emergency ,repair
and maintenance of shoreline erosion and
flood control structures.
"The emergency programs in place now
will help property owners and
municipalities cope with the present situa-
tion, but to be really effective they must be
accompanied with long-term remedial
measures," said Kerrio.
The interministerial committee — chaired
by the Ministry of Natural Resources, with
representatives from Municipal Affairs,
Transportation and Communications, and
Agriculture and Food — will focus on the
identification of hazard lands, public
awareness of hazards, regulating new
development, and, providing the optimum
means. of 'protecting existing development,
including the option of shoreline legislation
for ensuring effective long-term solutions
.with the help of all levels of government.
Municipalities and conservation
authorities will also be encouraged to iden-
tify and control development in hazard
lands. .

HURON COUNTY BOARD OF
EDUCATION
Recently the Board asked Joe Wooden,
principal of Central Huron Secondary
School, to prepare a report for the board
outlining the status of technical studies in ,
our 'schools and to assist us in determining
directions for future coo aedevelopment.
The recent implementation of the revised
credit system (OSIS) has seen a dramatic
decrease in the number of credits sought by
'students in the tech areas. (In the large ur-
ban centres, many technical teachers have
become redundant as a result of revised stu-
dent requirements. )
In Huron County, a number of shops have
been closed in recent years much to the con-
sternation of parents. Rapid technological
advances have also rendered much of the
equipment obsolete at a time when the per
capita level of educational funding has con-
sistently declined. In a period of retrench-
ment, the Board will have to steer a very
sensitive course to preserve what ought to
be preserved, to take advantage of new op-
portunities, to recognize new needs and to
end up.with what is better than what we now
have.
While there is general agreement that our
eductional systems do not produce a well-
trained workforce - there the agreement
ends. Opportunities to become well-trained
in trades should be as open as opportunities
to acquire an academic education - but they
are not. This social problem can not be ad-
dressed by the secondary schools alone. Un-
til government, labour and business resolve
that it is in the social interest of all to ad-
dress the issue, in my opinion, we will con-
tinue to struggle with an approach to train-
ing that is fundamentally inadequate for our
times.
With little relief in sight from escalating
operating costs, our financial capacity for
innovation and enrichment of courses
diminishes. At best, we only offer limited
exposure to trade opportunities - little con-
solation for many young people who must
secure work -force training elsewhere.
Wooden, who can be reached at Central
Huron Secondary School, would welcome
your comments 1 as he addresses these
issues.
