David St: Jean rehearse 'their rates in the .ehildren's musical Troll Out Of Tunie, oneof five one act plays to be staged at GDCI on Friday and. Saturday nights.. (staff phpto) Board of Ed. want 'snit to explain • When a letter from the ',,Huron County Health Unit saying there would be no change in the system of sewage' sal at Blyth Public School, was tabled at Board of Education meeting on Monday, Blyth trustee R.J: Elliott' immediately moved that the Board demand an explanation. The letter in question noted: "The Board of Health is .recommending no change in the present arrangement for the disposal of effluent at the -Blyth Public School until the municipal Pal sewer system has been - . n insialled_..a and is operational. This decision is based on past experience with. the• Blyth School System and supported . by the District `Director of the Ministry of the ''• - Environment." - The Board of Education has been.. paying to have the holding tank of the present sewage system pumped every other. day during the school year for the past three years since the Health Unit ordered the ' weeping b portion of the system seal and taken out of service. After , that . happened the Board of . Education .com- missioned an engineering study by the firm of Kyles, • Kyles and Garret of Strat- ford. That produced a report which recommended a modified system which could cope with the schools sewage in connection with a close monitoring system. That study was first presented to the County Board, of Health more than two years ago, ' end . was reintroduced last August. The ° letter informing the Board of nochange in the Health Unit's stance was the result of that August meeting. The letter offered no explanation for the decision, and it was that fact which prompted Mr. Elliott's motion. ' "They (the Health Unit) are depriving people from using the facilities of Blyth Public School in the summer months," he said, explaining.. that under boardpolicy the public has use -of all schools so ' long as they meet the .basic expenses involved. This ostially means a few dollars for a •custodian but in the case of the Blyth School it means the septic tank must be pvtrnped as well. ' 1 Mr. Elliott said this would result in.greater hardship as the village. ;of Blyth is • preparing tocelebrate fate its centennial' next year and will need the use of facilities such••• - as the school offers. " "What . are Dr. Mils' r asons?>.,. he •' • exited, referring to Medial Officer of .Health for Huron Dr. Frank Mills. He said that when the Board had presented the engineer's plans for a modified' system at „the August meeting, the memof - Health. to provide' .a written report on its .decision with an explanation.

Board supports resolution to reduce hydro rates The Huron County Board' of Education agreed to. support two resolutions; one dealing with Hydro rates and another dealing with school insurance-, when it met on Monday afternoon. - The Elgin County Board' of Education resolution noted that, "whereas the insurance' premiums payable by Boards of Education throughout the Province of Ontario have escalated . drastically within the past two years; be it resolved that the -Elgin County Board of Education contact all other Boards in the : Province and the Trustee • Organizations requesting that the Ontario Trustee -Council investigate the. possibility of Ontario School Boards staring an Insurance Fund with the view to making .the Ontario School Boards self-insuring." • A second. resolution, `from the same source, urged that a letter be forwarded to the.Minister of Energy expressing opposition to the proposed increase in hydro rates. It was the position of the Elgin Board that the continual "high increases in hydro rates, 30.5 percent in 1977,.as , compared to an increase of 10.8 plercent in the inaCimum . ordinary .expenditure ver pupil which Will be recognized for grant purposes over the 1976 maximum,' only leads to 'a further erosion of the monies available to'the Board to spend on actual class -room instruction'of_its students." "Each passing year brings about ori increase in hydro rates that far exceeds the increase allowable'by the Ministry of -- Education in the expenditure ceilings • and is now 'reaching a point of major concern," it said.
