Doug Fortune, Turnberry
Township councillor, hail to
explain some comments he
made last month regarding
the Bluevale Hall project,
during a ratepayer § meeting
last Wednesday.
The meeting, sponsored by
the Bluevale Chamber of
Commerce, featured the
township's new council,
which was elected by ac-
clamation — Reeve Brian
McBurney, Councillor
Fortune, who will become
the new deputy reeve,
Councillor Ben Malda, John
Cox, Raymond Wright, and
Deputy Reeve Harold
Elliott, who has withdrawn
from the race.
Bev Brown, a member of
the Bluevale Chamber of
Commerce, asked Mr.
Fortune what his intentions
were when hesaid he felt the
ratepayers involved in the
Bluevale Hall project were
not organized.
Mr. Fortune explained to
the crowd of about 40
ratepayers that a lot of ideas
have been presented to
council regarding the hall,
"but few have been concrete.
They have to know where
they are going and how they
are going to get there," in
order for the project to be a
success.
Bluevale residents in-
volved in the project decided
first to renovate the existing
hall, before they found out
Whether it was structurally
sound. Then they decided to
build a new hall on the
existing property before they
found out if the property was
large enough to support a
septic tank system. Added to
this was that the hall board
didn't realize that .two
council members, Mr. Malda
and Mr. Fortune, were
selected to sit on the board,
and therefore neglected to
invite them to any meetings.
He said these and -other
incidents created &tiara'.
tions, which resulted in his
comments made last month
regarding the project.
Miss Brown attributed the
problem to the awkward"
situation of haying , three
groups invohret1 in the pro-
ject — the Bluevale
Chamber of Commerce
raising the money, The Blue -
vale Hall Board making the
decisions and the township
council having to have its
name on • the deed and
describing negotiations for
land. purchases • during
council meetings, which then
become public knowledge.
She questioned the
possibility - of negotiating
land purchases for a new
hall, "for a reasonable
priee", when the facts are
discussed during council
meetings, and then made
public.
• Mr. Fortune suggested the
negotiations should be con-
ducted by a group other than
council members because,
"they could be done a lot
quieter".
'BohSearson, a member of
the Bluevale Chamber of
Commerce and the hall
board, agreed that the board
could use some upgrading in
communicating with the
other two groups, but he
assured the crowd that it is
looking 'at- properties for a
new hall and "things are
getting started".

SCHOOLBOARD
Bert Morin and Murray
Mulvey, Huron County
school board trustees who
have been elected by ac-
clamation, were asked about
changes in the educational
system and school trips.
Miss Brown complained
that the system doesn't
require students to do their
best because it is geared to
the average student. As a
result, "We're not allowing
the cream to float to the top.
"We can't even get enough
• people interested to have an
election in Turnberry."
• Mr. Morin agreed 'that
some changes are neces-
sary, "but the situation is
very complex. We have to al-
ways be looking 20 years
down the road."
He claimed that although
some "mistakes" were
made in the system about 15
years ago, especially in
reading, schools are getting
back to the basics.
In his opening address he
explained that motley will
have to ,beRspent on sophis-
ticated equipment in the
schools, "because tech-
nology is far advanced, and
to keep it under control
requires more knowledge".
One ratepayer asked why
some' schools seem to have a
lot of trips while others don't.
She wondered if some
schools receive more money
for trips than others.
Mr. Morin explained that
trips outside the county
mostly are funded by •the
