Dredging of the inner basin of the har- bour included dredging of ,31,000 cubic metres of inner harbour using drill and blast and mechanical means. The work was done by Cartier and McNamara at a cost of $1.8 million and was completed bet- ween November 1985 and Mav 1986. A survey of the offshore area at the en- trance to the harbour indicated the removal of shoals which were shallower than seaway draft was necessary.

The feasibility of establishing a Roman Catholic high school in Huron County will be studied by a steering committee set up at the regular meeting of the Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board in Dublin recently. Trustees Bernard VanOsch of Kingsbridge and Michael Ryan of Mount Carmel will represent the trustees on the committee. Two priests and two parents will be named to the seven -member com- mittee at the next meeting while a member of the administration staff will round out the group. The Committee is to find out whether enough Catholic students in Huron would attend their own high school, ' It will also consider possible locations. The group is expected to hold several public meetings on the issue and will pre- sent its report to the Board by March. The high school, if established, would likely open,in September, 1988. The board opened a Catholic high school in. Perth County last month. St. Michael School in Stratford serves Grades .7 and 8 and 9 and will expand to Grade 10 next fall The board also has established 'a joint education liaison committee with the Huron County Board of Education to ex- plore opportunities for shared facilities, services, resources and staff. The grotip would make reconunendations for con-, sideration by both boards. On this committee Trustees Dave Durand of. Zurich, Bernard Murray of RR 3 Embro and John Devlin of Stratford were named to present the Catholic board in its meetings with the Huron County Board of Education and also with the Perth County Board of Education with which it will hold similar meetings. In other business, trustees accepted a $686,000 bid from a Lucan. firm, Frank VanBussel and Sons Limited, for the con- struction of the addition with alteration to St. Boniface school at Zurich, including the reroofing othe general purpose room. The tender was the lowest of six received: The board has agreed to accept reduc- tion in the liability limits contained in the 1986-87 school bus rate schedule to $7 million (from $10 million) effective immediately.:. The buscontractorspreviously bad been. able to secure the higher liability rate but this year, with premium rates so high, they were unable to get it. The minimum allowed for'school busing is $5 million. The board will accept the Risk Manage- ment Report as submitted by the Frank Cowan Insurance Company and will renew all insurance policies with the company until October 26, 1987. The board decided not to join the. Reciprocal Insurance Ex- change, The Ontario School Boards' In- surance Exchange. The reasoning for continuing with Cowan. is because the , board's current policy expires October 26. The board re- quires coverage for November and December as reciprocal coverage will not be available until January 1, 1987. • About 70 per cent of Ontario's school boards will band together to insure themselves to counteract soaring liability! insurance costs. ° An exception will be made to board policy to permit a Seaforth area ktudent who is 14 years old and in Grade 8 to attend the Grade 10 religious course at St. James school in Seaforth. The board agreed to endorse the pro- posal by the London -Middlesex Roman Catholic Separate School Board to assume the responsiblity for the educational com- ponent of the Robarts School for the Hear- ing Impaired. Council approve bridge down from Ball's Bridge Huron County. Council gave approval to proceed with a new $1.9 million bridge con- structed over the next two years downstream from Ball's Bridge at their October meeting. The decision' was made by council after a feasibility study regarding the replace- ment of the° 101 -year-old Ball's Bridge located on the Maitland River south of Auburn was released to county council. In the feasibility study completed by B.M. Ross and Associates engineering firm of Goderich, it recommended the four span bridge be built 1.5 km downstream from Ball's Bridge on an ^east -west align- ment which would match up with the Hullett Township Road which heads easterly to Londesboro. The bridge construction would be eligi- ble for an 80 per cent subsidy from the Ministry of Transportation and Com- munication (MTC) with the county picking up the remaining 20 per cent. County coun- cil gave county engineer R.A. Dempsey the go-ahead to apply for the MTC sub - i t s will Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief (CpA1%) announced that the African Lion Safari Wildlife park, located in Rockton, will donate part of its gate receipts for the week starting Oct. 20, to the Toronto-based relief Aro One h'alf of the entrance fee to the drive- through theme park will be donated to sidies. In recommending the new bridge, the feasibility stated the recommended bridge would allow the perserving the "heritage value of the existing bridge" and would also provide "an excellent interconnecting east -west road pattern". In March of this year, county council decided to keep Bali's Bridge open to traf- fic for a period of 10 years. It was also agreed that the bridge would not be replac- ed in case of any damage or removal by natural causes. The bridge will also be in- spected again at the end of the 10 -year period to determine whether it will be fur- thur maintained or closed or removed. The maintenance costs for the bridge, currently posted with a single 2 tontine posting, over the next 10 years was estimated at $6,200 per year in the feasibility study. The preliminary design for the bridge and government approval for the bridge is needed for the bridge before construction can start. The government approval is ex- pected to take six months. • be donated SNORT TEIIM ON YOUR MONEY CPAR if the guests say the password "Lion" when paying admission to the park.
