T'M E 18 TODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1980 own vehicle becomes target The, town car used 'bybylaw en- forcement officer, Dick Eisler has taken a beating lately. Eisler reported to council that in thelast two months the antenna was ripped off, three tires wer' "deflated, a section of the car was spray painted and someone jumped on the hood. Also a cat suffering from distemper was thrown on his porch. Only minor sports Councillor Stan Profit suggested to recreation director Tim. Moore., that a Goderich Sports Association, like one that operated here years ago, might be an avenue to approach. Moore said _the Sports .gov Nin bodes_ would initially concentrate on minor sports since mens sports organizations were working well on their own. Saving money Works Commissioner Ken Hunter reported that winter control in town cost over $34,000 last year and the town has saved over $10,000 because of mild winter conditions. In February the town crews spent $13,069 on winter control and the March figure is expected to be reasonable. Others should pay The Goderich Trotting Association has asked council that their agreement be revised so that all users of the race track pay a maintenance fee. Members pay a monthly stall rental charge and they wish to charge a small fee to those using only the track for training purposes. The fee would aid in the upkeep of the track. De town maintenance committee will work out an agreement with the Trotting Association. COMMUNITY NEWS No fox bounty Huron County has repealed the fox bounty bylaw and will not pay the $2 bounty fee after July 1. To collect the bounty the ears of the animal had to be brought to county officials but pelt prices have risen and to get a good price the ears are left on the pelt.

Family Life program was two years in the making BY WIiL1dA (WE In a couple of weeks the junier Family Life curriculum will be completed for Grades 4, 5 and 6 in the 19 schools under the Hurolii'-Perth County Roman Catholic separate school board. Ron Gladding, Strat- ford, Family Life co- ordinator, in a presen= tation to the board, said that a survey by letter to all the parents of students in Grades 4, 5 and 6 had brought in replies solving. about six final questions the Family Life com- mittee had on what to .include. _in_the curriculum and what not to include with regard to the physical education section. The Family Life committee, which has been working on the junior curriculum for the past two years, includes teachers, parents, medical personnel, members of the clergy and administrative staff. Mr. Gladding said in a good Family Life program, it is important to note that the physical section constitutes only about 10 percent, but much discussion seems to come from this section dealing with physical sex. He explained that a family life program deals with just what the title suggests- family life. He said, "We look at the physical, emotional, social, psychological, spiritual and intellectual' Haydon objects to zoning Councillor Elsa Haydon said she will per- sonally file an objection against the rezoning of a parcel of land in the Suncoast Estates sub- divisions. Council accepted a bylaw calling for the rezoning of a 13 -acre parcel of land, south of Suncoast Drive along the lake bank. The proposed subdivision had to.. be zoned Residential R-1, R-3 and open space from Developmental D. Haydon claimed the bylaw --wasn't prepared in time for fiiill'scrutiny by council and she got the impression the developer was attempting to "push through" the bylaw. She said there was a, discrepancy with the allotted park area and the matter should be tabled for a week. Her motion The proposed subdivision includes a three - acre park that is to service the entire sub- division. Haydon claims that original plans called for a sizeable lakeside park overlooking the lake. It was the "last public park along the lakebank in Goderich" Haydon said. The new plans , according to Haydon, have reduced the park to a buffer zone with only 10 metres access to the lakebank. Original •plans for the subdivision were submitted four or five years ago and the developer is obligated to commit five per cent of the land for parks. The criteria is being met. "The parks in the subdivision merit another look.," Haydon said. "Something ddoesn't sit right and we should have a week to look at it." Eileen Palmer seconded the motion to table the matter fora week. She said she had a vague recollection of the dedication of park land in the original plans wanted -another look -7 The motion was defeated but Haydon said she would file a personal objection to the rezoning. Neighbours concerned They said that they had been harassed by in- toxicated patrons several times. Board member Eileen Palmer roseand said that the planning board was "not here to judge on a moral or economic basis, but to make a decision,based on land use." Roman Deuz commented on the proposal and gave the preliminary report from the Huron County Planning Department. He addressed the 15 spectators present and said that the planning board's decision could not ride on pe1e's complaints about noise and behavior coining from the inn. He said complaints should be directed towards the police. The planning board was concerned with whether the proposed.ex- pansion will improve the building and will improve the parking and traffic situation he said. Dzuz said that the county planning depart- ment had found that' Mallough's proposed Seniors... • from page 1 simply be basing a decision on supposition if they supported the motion. She asked that the, motion_be .t.ab.led_for._fur ther_atud_y.._thisyear-•for ----- possible implementation in 1981. Haydon insisted there was some hardships in paying municipal taxes by the elderly since the implementation of equalized assessment under Section 86. Properties are now assessed at their 1975 resale value. 1,1110.1.1 CULBERT'S BAKERY 1877 49 WEST ST.

The matter was tabled until the next planning board meeting. If the members of the planning board and town council decide to amend the bylaw and allow the expansion, citizens will have 21 days to register a formal objection. If that happens, the matter will be referred to the Ontario Municipal Board. Champion... • from page 1 development of roads but they are not' big utilizers of graders," Sully explained.

ONE STOP FOR FLLYOUR HOME IMPROVEMENT,;;i -.. NEEDS rffir sides to our lives. I want to say Family Life is not sex education." In concluding his ex- planation of the program, Mr. Gladding said, "It is the parents' respon- sibility to educate their child. It is the respon- sibility- of a good Family Life program to support ,the parents in their work, to help them guide their children towards God's way of living our lives, towards being a Christian. ;.Together parents, church and school can have a beneficial .influence on children's lives." Mr. Gladding I.ssured the trustees that the committee's work is in harmony with the wishes of the church because of ongoing dialogue 'with Bishop John Sherlock of London and at Diocese Family Life meetings." Mr. Gladding said the curriculum is being typed up now to be taken to the priests -- the Stratford Deanery -- for their ap- proval, then brought back to the trustees for ap- proval. There will be workshops for the junior teachers in June and fall information meetings with the parents in each school so that parents, church and schools can work together for the curriculum to be im- plemented in the classrooms. w.

John McCauley, superintendent of education, remarked that the Huron -Perth school system is far in advance 'of many areas in the province with regard to. the teaching the family life course. Mr.. Gladding remarked, "Looking at what we are doing in our system, we are doing very, very well and all the teachers and the. board are co-operating. Trustee Mickey Vere of Stratford asked if the three members of the clergy were still opposing the curriculum because of the human sexuality aspects. William Eckert, Director of Education, replied that the priests had been called to help form the curriculum and he understood as a result of the survey the con- cerns of the priests and the parents have been taken care of. Mr. Gladding replied that there had been a com- munication gap with some of the priests but they are co-operating fully now. Trustee William Kinahan of Wingham and past board chairman said as a parent he did not fill in the survey and asked Mr. Gladding if as a parent he would agree with the answers to the survey. Mr. Gladding said he did. He said his, own small children had asked him almost every question on the survey and he had given them as simple an answer as • possible to suit a small child. Mr. Eckert said as a parent he filled in and returned the survey. He said the items surveyed are the controversial area in the program. "But I do firmly believe those physical aspects of a child should be taught before they reach adolescence." He said he was verypleased with the response to the survey. "We base the curriculum on what the parents want," stated Mr. Eckert. Mr. McCauley said that Mr. Gladding made the curriculum apply to the people in Huron and Perth counties. Mr. ,Gladding said that all over Ontario there are co-ordinators' doing the work ,he does and they get together and share ideas. The experiences' from the other systems will save us years probably. He said these ideas should be available. "My children should have those ideas and opportunities. I would rather they had this in- formation in advance. If it is too early for the child, it will go right over his. head," he said. John O'Leary said he did not fill out thesurvey. He said he was, away at the time but was not sure he would have' if he had been home.' He said he has had parents speak to him about it. He said he feels he is far better able to answer them.
