In his report, Mr. Allan highlighted some of the major board decisions that were made over the past year of office, from July IN, 1985 to June 30, 1986. They included: •Gino Giannandrea was appointed as the board's personnel officer .and chief, negotiator. His work commenced in mid- October of 1985. •The board made a commitment to establish the Bluewater Secondary School and an agreement was ratified between the Ministry of Corrections and the Huron County Board of Education. Later that same year, an in- itiative was taken to provide full -year pro- gramming at the Bluewater Secondary School and a motion was passed to design an experimental school year calendar to accom- modate the needs of the students attending the school. •Contracts were ratified with the custodians, with the secretaries and teachers aides. 'A significant new program was introduced - the Values, Influences and Peers Program to all Grade 6 classrooms in September, 1986. •A budgetary restraint initiative was taken. The board asked all groups and individuals who recommended allocations in excess of 104 per cent of 1985 allocations to indentify a cor- responding area of reduction from within the scope of their responsibility. •The Board of Education initiated co- operative dialogue when the Huron -Perth Separate School's Executive Committee way invited to a meeting to. discuss items of com- mon interest. •Family Studies and Industrial Arts pro- gramming for Grade 7 and 8 students in Huron County was expanded so that it would be available throughout the system, with im- plementation in the north part of the county in September 1986 and in the south part in September 1987: •Comprehensive summer school programs evolved when the board agreed to offer pro- grams at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton, Seaforth District High School, Bluewater Secondary School, J.A.D. McC r; . dy Public School, Victoria Public School in Goderich and Wingham Public School. The board provided transportation from each town to `f Pntral }Inrnn and annrnpriate transportation arrangements were made for the students to attend other programs. •Vanastra Public School became a full grade school, with the introduction of Grade 7 studies in September 1986 and Grade 8 pro- gramming effective September 1987. •The board set its directions for its terms - to develop the potential of each indriiiiiaTs within the school system; to develop an, awareness of the positive aspects of the school, system within the Huron County community; to develop a co-operative communications program to enhance the knowledge and understanding of the Huron County School system. Religious studies pursued By Shelley McPhee Haist CLINTON - Offering religious education in the public school system is a concept that will be addressed by the Huron County Board of Education. At the January meeting of the board, Goderich and Colborne Township trustee Joan Van den Broeck noted, "It has recently come to my attention that some separate school supporters are supporting the con- cept of a separate high school because they believe that is the only way that they can receive religious education instruction for their children. I would appreciate it if the Huron County Board members who form the Liasion Committee with the Huron -Perth Separate Board members would again make it clear that the Huron County Board of Education is willing to accommodate religious education instruction in its schools." John Jewitt, vice chairman of the Huron board, has been working on the liason com- mittee. He said that he wants to co-operate with the separate board in an effort to make religious education courses available in the public school system. "We would be eager to accommodate them," Mr. Jewitt said, "but we cannot legally offer ,such courses, ours being a public board:" Mr. Jewitt said he would seek separate board support for a request to have religious education course made available in the public school system, and the manpower made available to staff the program. Religious education is an optional credit course offered in the separate school system. Mrs. Van den Broeck noted, i`It's unfor- tunate that such courses aren't available within our present system." Huron Centennial School, at Brucefield, won the 1986 Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) group award during the ABCA and Huron Soil and Crop Improvement Association dinner in Stanley Township on January 16. Earl Rees of ABCA makes the presentation to teachers Bud Walker and Morely Desjardine. The school has par- ticipated in tree planting, Camp Sylvan and conservation education programs.

In 1986, 747 young people in Huron County completed 1,394 4-H projects on 16 different topics. One hundred and ninety- five volunteer 4-H Leaders were involved. Besides learning skills such as how to show a calf, or write a resume, 4-H members develop skills in self-confidence, responsibility, leadership and communications. 4-H clubs have six meetiags over a three to six month period. If a project is not of- fered in your,area, new clubs can be formed. All it takes is at least six interested young people betvdeen the 'ages of 12 and 21, and a leader. Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food -provides leader training and project materials. A volunteer 4-H Leader required a ge- nuine interest in young people, enthusiasm, an ability to work with young people, and a willingness to learn new ideas. For information on the Huron County 4-H program contact Richard Hamilton or Jane Muegge at 482-3428 or 1-800-265-5170.
