The Goderich Signal-Star, 1978-10-19, Page 3Kingsbridge school
now community school
'BY WILMA OBE
The Huron -Perth
County Roman Catholic
Separate School board
approved an application
Monday from the prin-
cipal of St. Joseph's
school in Kingsbridge to
have his school named a
community school. The
board will now forward
the application from
David Zyluk to the
ministry of education to
apply for the maximum
community school grant
of $10,000 annually for up
to two years.
Subsequent financial
support must then be
provided by the board.
The board will assist the
program by supplying
heai;-h iro aria the use of
other school resources.
The $10,000 grant will be
used mainly for paying
the salary of a co-
ordinator" to run the
program.
At the present time
community groups are
using St. Joseph's School-
-Catholic youth
organization from
Kings,bridege; Girl
Guides; various sports
groups --ladies volleyball
team, Kintail girls'
softball team,
snowmobile club, men's
yolleyball and floor
hockey teams; St.
Joseph's PTA and
various other groups. By
utilizing existing
facilities after school
hours, residents may
obtain recreational and
education programs.
Mr. Zyluk, who at-
tended the board meeting
said, "Basically as I feel
the taxpayers are paying
for,the school, it should be
kept open for as many
hours as possible."
Mr. Zyluk said he has
community volunteers
coming into the school to
help students on a one to
one basis. He said this
started one year ago and
now has increased from
three volunteers to eight
volunteers. This, is per
sonalizing education for
my students, he said.
The grant is expected
to come through by
December. This will be
the second community
school in the board's
system --the first was St.
Patrick's School, Dublin,
now completing the
second year.
Gordon Nichol and
Harry King, both past
presidents of Kiwanis
Clubs in Stratford,
presented the board with
a beautifully framed
plaque, "I am proud to be
a Canadian" and then
outlining seven
paragraphs with
"Because ---".
Mr. King said the
framed plaques were
being distributed to all
schools in Perth County.
He said each Kiwanis
club is twinned with
another Kiwanis club in
another province to
promote friendship
across Canada. In
Stratford . ,the members
wanted to extend this
program outside the club
and decided on the
plaques. We want
Canadians to understand
Canada, to increase
among Canadians a
deeper and broader
understanding what
constitutes a Canadian.
He hopes distribution of
the plaques will help to
maintain our great and
proud country.
Mr. King said when
visiting the schools he
had received a
tremendous warmth in
the schools.
Mr. Nichols presented
the plaque to board
chairman, Donald
Crowley of Gadshill.
'Trustee Vincent'Yourig
of Goderich later in the
meeting questioned the
fact that only Perth
schools would receive the
plaques when , it is ' a
Huron -Perth board. The
Kiwanis Club will be
asked' to consider
presenting the 10 Huron
separate schools as well.
Open house will be held
at the newly renovated
Precious Blood school in
Exeter on Thursday,
October 29, at 7:30 p.m.
The board authorized
payment of the insurance
premium for the board at
a cost of $24,758 from
October 26, 1978 to
October 1979.
The usual gift of $150
will be donated to the
Stratford Kiwanis Club to
be used for awards for the
winners of the Kiwanis
Music, Festival to be held
this fall.
Trustee Ted Geoffrey
asked whether con-
sideration should be
given to stocking up some
of the schools in case
students are storm -
stayed, this winter. He
was told that two schools
have been doing this each
winter.
Superintendent Joseph
Mills said a contingency
plan will be discussed
with the principals at
their next meeting as to
what precautions - have
been taken.
With a full slate of
trustees at the meeting
the three members who
missed the last board
meeting were asked to
state whether they would
be seeking re -election --
Michael Connelly of
Kippen said, "I filled in
my papers this mor-
ning."
Ted Geoffrey of Zurich
and Vincent Young of
Goderich said they will
run but will step down if a'
good separate school
supporter contests their
ridings.
Mickey Vere of
Stratford said he will be
running for re-election.
David Teahen of
Stratford has already
announced he will not be
seeking re-election as he
is trying for a seat on
Stratford council.
Chairman Donald
Crowley of Gadshill said
he will not be seeking re-
election, as he will, be
trying for the position of
separate school
representative on the
Perth County Board. Mr.
Crowley said he has
enjoyed being a trustee
and said his experience
would be helpful to him if
he is elected to the Perth
Board.
All other trustees
declared their intentions
of running at the last
board meeting. The next
board meeting will be on
October 30.
Adventure ground
well receive
Arnold Mathers,
principal of the Huron
Centennial Public School
at Brucefield said the
new adventure
playground at the school
has received "excellent
reception" from the
children and community.
Mr. Mathers presented
a slide show to the Huron
County Board of
Education on. the
playground at their
regular meeting in
Clinton Monday night.
• He said prior to his
presentation in an in-
terview the playground's
"use is just phenomenal"
since it opened in Sep-
tember.
Covering about two
acres of the school yard,
the adventure
playground consists of
old tires, hydro poles,
nuts and bolts, cedar
posts and chains to form
a conglomeration of
swings, slides and bars.
It is designed in such a
way that,the school's 400
children can progress
from easy to more dif-
ficult areas, depending on
physital abilities.
Mr. Mathers told the
board that the committee
in charge of the
playground has received
"oral indication" of a
$1,500 Wintario grant
which is expected to
arrive in three months.
The playground's total
cost is $11,576. A $5,200
provincial grant covers
the labor costs to build
the playground during
the summer. The
remainder in costs is
being raised with other
provincial grants and
private donations.
Board chairman
JohnE lliott commended
the parties involved in the
playground for a "worth-
while effort."
We are sorry for any inconvenience
caused to our customers during the
time of our moving to our new
location.
We are pleased to announce that we are now open' for
custom slaughtering and processing as well as our
wholesale trade, which includes:

This youngster had a great time crawling around this
fire truck at Saturday's open house at the Goderich
Fire Department but the fps quickly disappeared
when it came time to climkff the pumper. The truck
was just a little high for'fhe legs and with nothing to
climb on there was little left to do except call for help.

town's equipment on display Saturday afternoon as

More citizens taking pensions
The number of
Ontarians belonging to
private pension plans
increased by only 2.4
percent between January
1, 1976 and January 1,
1977, according to the
ministerof consumer and
commercial relations.
Larry. Grossman said
recently that 1,608,000
people in Ontario were
private pension plans
members as of January 1,
1977 compared to
1,571,000 a year earlier.
"Between 1970 and 1974
the annual growth rate of
plan membership was
almost three percent.
This decrease in growth
rate is distressing," he
said.
The number of pension
plans decreased from
8,702 to 8,590 during the
same 12 -month period,
according to statistics
compiled by the Pension
Commission of Ontario,
part of the ministry of
consumer and com-
mercial relations, in its
fourteenth annual report.
"This is the result of
company plans being
wound up because the
company is ceasing
operations or merging
with another, combined
with the fact that current
economic conditions
hamper the development
of new plans to some•
extent," said Wells
Bentley, superintendent
of pensions.
Mr. Grossman noted
that more employees are
aware of the need to
supplement their Canada
pension and other public
plans. •
The statistics indicate
few changes in pension
plans, said Mr. Bentley.
