( photo by Todd Mowatt) Delicious ginerbread made at Brookside BY JENNIFER DALTON AND MADONNA BRADLEY On Tuesday, Mrs. Cameron's Kindergarten at Brookside School made gingerbread men. They were delicious. On Thursday, they made cow puppets from paper bags and painted pictures about the gingerbread man story. The seniors are working on the Christmas concert. Beverly Atchison, Brenda Haggitt, Melissa Logtenberg and Mary Lou MacAuley were playing Trivia on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Mather's Grade 1 class has been stu- dying community helpers and all the great work they do. Mrs. Young's Grade 1 class has a new girl, Caroline Bleeker from Germany. The class is helping her learn English. Marion Zinn, of Lucknow, visited the classrooms of Grades 3 and 4 of Mrs. Teb- butt on Nov. 15. She showed slides of the British Isles and explained the reasons for many of our forefathers coming to Canada. Mrs. Clarke's Grade 2 class has a new "M" in its alphabet. Simone Bleeker has come to Canada from Germany, and is now a member of the class. She is learning English - and the class is learning German! The class has had a busy week with the new Transformer theme, making stories and creating new go -bots. It alw sent letters and pictures to its part- ner clas in Hinton, Alberta. The Alphabet would also like to say "Hip Hip Hooray for snow!" b Colborne students practise vocabulary on computers The Grade 3s at Colborne Central School Now, Christmas is what they are thinking have been busy using the computer this about. week. They are pleased to welcome Mary Stoll, a helper on Thursday afternoons. The Grade 7 and 8 students at Colborne are corresponding with the Grade 7, 8 and 9 class of Borden School in Borden.

In the afternoon they used "Phi Beta Filer" to enter information on animals. The Kindergarten class finished its Bear theme by baking Honeybear cookies and having a picnic with Teddy Bears. Education trustees do not make all the rules BY .JOAN VAN DEN BROECK TRUSTEE, HURON COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION i have been asked what - if anything - trustees do to address broad public issues in education. Are we only 'yes raven', rubber-stamping everything that comes our way with no input in the decision-making process'' As a trustee, I find it hard to counter such thinking for. in truth, Boards of Education are mandated to oversee I he implementation of provincial legislation. in other words, we do not make all the rules. When the province legislates regula- tions that adversely affect the ratepayer or the student, resolutions defining trustee concerns are prepared and cir- culated to other boards for support and forwarded to the Public School Trustee Associations. This representative body brings the collective concerns of the boards to the attention of the Minister of Education. Regularly, the board receives and ad- dresses resolutions from other boards. This collective effort is much more effec- tive than any petition made directly to the minister by an individual board. However, as lawmakers, the province has 1 he power to demand compliance. Boards of Education can not act out- side the law. For example. in the matter of the separate school funding issue. where the public boards do not have the ear of the 1,egislalure, the public school associations in concert with the teacher federations took their position before the courts for a const it utiunal ruling. Local boards are charged with the responsibility of ensuring compliance with provincial regulations within their jurisdiction. Trustees. as the ratepayers' representative, ad as watchdogs ensur- ing the judicious allocation of funds and personnel in the cowrly within the parameters of the regulations. Fortunately. there is some flexibility built into the system which allows ad- ministrative staff and trustees the oppor- tunity to tailor development in the county and prioritize issues of concern in our schools. Sound judgement on the part of the trustees can ensure the orderly, cost- efficient implementation of provincial directives. In the broader context, concerned trustees can - and do - press their boards to take the initiative in pressing for Legislative change to further education in their jurisdiction as well as across the province. Chairmanship is up for grabs No trustee with the Huron County board of education has publicly indicated an in- terest in seeking the chairman's seat. ,John .Jewitt of Londesboro, representing McKillop and Hullett Townships and Seaforth, has said he will seek the vice - chairman's position. Jewitt made his an- nouncement at the November 4 board meeting. Current board chairman Eugene Frayne of RR 3, Goderich, acclaimed for another three year term, said he will not stand for a third year as chairman. it has been a tradition with the school board to allow the chairman to serve two years. The present vice-chairman, Art Clarke of Wingham, gave no indication of his in- tention. Clarke is facing an election in his area. Blyth trustee John Elliott said if he is re- elected he would again like to represent the school board on the Ontario Public ch1ool Trustees' Association, the provin- 1 body of trustees.
