St. Marys and Mitchell area trustee Ernie Vanderschott announcedlast week he would not seek re-election in this fall's municipal election. He has served five years on the Huron -Perth Roman Catholic separate school' board. Vanderschott pondered carefully over his words saying his years on the salary negotiating committee have proven to Ilion that the federations are powerful. A power that he says has been given to them by the governments. "School boards, they have very little negotiating power. All the teachers' salaries should be negotiated with the provincial government." he said - ••If salaries were negotiated •across the whole province, something would be done much more quickly." Aii 11 -year veteran of the school board, 13i11 Kinahan of RR 2, 1,ucknow also an- nounced he is stepping down. Serving the municipalities of Blyth, Ashfield, and East and West Wawanosh, Kinahan said he will miss sitting on the board. Ray Van Vliet of RR 7, St. Marys, who represents Downie and North and South Easthope Townships, indicated he won't be seeking re-election. "In all fairness to the board, I can't put enough time into it," said Van Vliet. Current board chairman Ron Marcy of Stratford said he will be running again. A secondary school teacher in the city, Marcy anticipates no problems in his position with regard to extending funding •to Catholic secondary schools. A Catholic high school is being established in Perth for September 1986. Although absent from the meeting when the announcements, were made, the other Stratford trustee, John Devlin, will also seek re-election. Vice-chairman Vincent McInnes "of RR 2, Wingham, representing the Wingham and Brussels area indicated he too will run this fall. All other trustees running and their area are as follows: Dave Durand from the Zurich and Hensall area, Gerald Groothuis from the Seaforth, Tuckersmith and Stanley area, Arthur Hiad from the Milverton, Listowel area, Louis Maloney from Hibbert and Logan, Michael. Moriarty from Clinton, Goderich and Bayfield area, Tim McDon- nell from Ellice Township, and Michael Ryan from the Exeter area. Bluewater Centre principal is named The chief negotiator tor the Huron County secondary school teachers, Shirley Weary, has been named principal at the Bluewater Centre for young offenders effective Oct. 1. Huron County Board of Education Direc- tor Robert Allan announced last week that Weary was successful over six other ap- plicants for the position. Weary is currently employed half-time by the school board at Goderich District Col- legiate Institute. She is also a half-time federation nffirer for nistri't 4S of ch,, tin- tario Secondary School Teachers Federa- tion l OSSTF i which is Huron County. Allan said this new principalship is equal 14) those of the other five secondary school principals in Huron. In early September, the Huron Board of Education gave approval to an agreement with the Ministry of Corrections which operates the Bluewater Centre. The provin- cial government will pay the salaries of the education staff, although they are chosen by the board. Allan did say the Bluewater Cen- tre were in on the principal hiring. There is now one teacher already at the . school, Boris Milosavic of Wingham. The next stop, says Allan is to hire a librarian, a guidance head, and one teacher each for academic responsibilities and technical responsibilities. Allan praised Weary's appointment say- ing she is well positioned to take the task and her experience with the teacher's federation will assist her with organized groups at the Bluewater Centre. 4-H group makes cinnamon pinwheels By Tracy Black The first meeting of the Port Albert 4-H Basic Baking group was held on Saturday, Sept. 14 in the home of Mr,s.
