school in Vanastra?
Huron Board iTudies boundary changes
By Wilma Oke
The possibility of opening a
school at Vanastra in 1977 will
be studied by • an ad hoe
committee of 'the Huron
County Board of Education
and a three-man committee
. representing Stanley and
Tuckersmith Townships and
Vanastra.
The recommendation came
following a meeting Wed
• nesday night, Oct. 6 •when
about 400 people turned,'outto
a `meeting held by the Huron
County Board of Education
with the ratepayers of
Tuckersmith and, Stanley
jTownships to discuss
proposed school boundary
Irl changes:
Board member . Wilfred
Shortreed, chairman of the ad
ho'c boundary committee
which has been studying the
issue, spoke of the over-
crowding at ••the Clinton
Public School which' has a
capacity of 480 students. He
said with two portables at the'
school there are 521 enrolled
at the Clinton school'with 194
coming from Vanastra. •
Board . superintendent
Ralph Smith, a member of.
the boundary committee;
showed maps of the present
boundary lines' in- Tucker
smith and Stanley.
Mr. Shortreed suggested
that ' 60 students from 'the
south end of Tuckersmith be
directed to the Hensall P„,.lic
School in September 1977 and
30 from Stanley . to Zurich
Public School and send r the
Vanastra students. to Huron
Centennial School at
Brucefield. (This school was
built to serve the students in
Tuckersmith and Stanley and
Vanastra is located
Tuckersmith:) 7
Mr. -Shortreed said, "We.
want the . problem solved
without adding tax dollars.
We ;feel we should make use
of those rooms in Hensall and
Zutich by filling them, -rather
than add more portables at
Clinton.".
a
Ben Bridges' of 'Vanaste
stepped upas the first to
present a. brief. He said he
was speakfng.for the parents
'and other •concerned in-
dividuals from Vanastra:
He said, "We believe the
only long term answer to the
dilemma' (of over -crowding)
is to have our own school at
Vanastra,"
r�' M }Ie predicted such a school
could have an'enrolment of
345 within three years. 'He
said, ``,`By having a:school at
Vanastra we eliminate busing
costs.. and ,,among positive
factors is the retention of the
family unit.
Mr. Bridges suggested .the
possibility of leasing -part of
• Conestoga • College at
Vanastra • (the . fofiner
el,gmentary. school when
Vanastra was a Canadian
Forces .Base) or another
_building 'in•the complex.•
A. delegationof parents
from" Tuckersmith-- and
Stanley Townships made a
similar recommendation.
Spokesman for .their ' area
committee was Paul Sfeckle,
chairman, who proposed that
• Vanastra have a school of its
own made available to them.
Alternate proposal called

representing 100 of the older
students from Vanastra
directly 'to Hensall on two
buses, allowing the younger
children from Vanastra to
attend Clinton undisturbed.
"This would mean the least
disruption of childre and bus
routes,' Mr. Stege said.
"`Additional busing costs
from B.rucefield to Hensall
has been suggested to be $2.50.
per day per bus, so we.are
talking about $1,000."
Herbert T.irkheim, board
chairman, who.chaired the
meeting told the groups, "you
seem to have the solutions but
it is- very difficult to get
'Ministry officials to lease or
build new s,.:,00ls ---".
:Several ratepayers made',
suggestions from the floor -

vacant) ; sending _students
from Harpurhey and
Egmondville to Seaforth
Public . School (Harpurhey
children go to Seaforth now).
' A guest at the meeting
unofficially, J. Lockerbie of
the Londbn , office of the
Ministry of Education,
(;OL)FRICH SIGNAL- STAR, THURSDAY, OCT.O
commended the school board'
for discussing the problem
with the ratpayers and the
ratepayers for presenting
their suggestions so ably.
Mr. Lockerbie, who said he
was in the area ,gnd' was at-
tending the meeting with one
of the ratepayers on bis own, -
confirmed Mr. Turkheim's
earlier statement. He -`:said,
"speaking of projecting
figures (of •future.
enrolment)..-,. s.chool age
bodies have to be `present
before schools are built You
have to compete with other
centres"for capital funds the
priority for that school has to
exceed another area before
you get• those . funds. The
ministry will co-operate if
you dome up with. the 'very.
best proposal:
Mr. Turkheim asked for a
brief break while the board
boundary committee met for
discussion. '._....:

convened Mr. Turkh.eim.
