Separate . School. board applauds passing of Bill 30
pBl d Sch l Exeter to St
BY W IiNA OKE
It was a happy group of trustees who heard
•the announcement Monday night at a
;meeting of the Huron -Perth County Roman
Catholic Separate School Board that the
fOntario Legislature approved the Education
`Amendment Act 1986 (Bill 30).
John McCauley, Superintendent of Educe -
f tion, reported prior to the board meeting
"Bill 30 passed into law this evening. RID
funding for Catholic secondary schools is
approved. You have waited a long time for
this." The trustees applauded.
To meet Ministry of Education require-
ments, the board by formai resolution elected
to "perform the duties of a secondary school
board for its area of jurisdiction effective on
the first day of the school year commencing in
1986."
The board's fust Catholic secondary school
has been established at St. Michael School,
Stratford, for September 1988. Three secon-
dary school teachers currently employed by
the Perth Board of Education have been hired
by the Huron -Perth Catholic Board. It is
hoped the ongoing discussions and coopera-
tion between the two boards will soon result
in a formal agreement on the placement of
secondary school staff for future years. In its
plan for secondary education, the board is
also committed to study the feasibility of
establishing another secondary school in
Huron County by 1988.

slight damage
Seaforth firefighters kept damage to , a
minimum, when they answered a call at the
home of Sharon Marshall, East William
Street, Seaforth, on Friday evening.
Seaforth Police Constable John Cairns
spotted the blaze about 8:50'p.m. and
contacted Fire Chief George Garrick, who
called out the firefighters.
Only three roof rafters were badly burnt in
the blaze, with one room in the house
sustaining water damage.
Mr. Garrick said he still has no official
estimate of damage, or possible cause of the
fire which damaged the home of James and
Ginette Nash on June 11. He said his own
estimate of the damage is $35,000 to $40,000.
Hibbert Township Council paased a by-law
recently designating Velvetleaf as a heal
weed within the Township. This is the first
time a municipality in Perth County has
designated a weed.
Weed Inspector Cyril Brown points out
I once suds a by-law is and approved
iby
the Minister of Agriculture and Ford
' named weed is then treated the same as those
on the noxious list under the Ontario Weed
Control Act. This means every property
° owner is responsible for destroying the weed ' on their holding. Failing
municipality may enter upon the said land
• and destroy the weed at the owner's expense.
Velvetleaf first appeared in Perth County
' about 10 years ago and is now in every
I 'township in the County.
The weed, a member of the Mallow family
is an atrnuai with a tap root and alternate,
• heart shaped leaves which are velvet to the
touch. It has yellow flowers and cupped
shaped seed pods, each having 12 to 15
carpels containing up to five seeds. A 10 -foot
• plant is capable of producing 8,000 seeds that
'- have high viability, prolonged dormancy and
6 sporadic germination. The seed will survive
the digestive system of livestock and poultry,
•` similarly, storage in Liquid or dry manure
dies not reduce its viability. Studies show
• that 40 per cent of seed will germinate after
remaining in the soil for 40 years.
Mr. Brown urges fanners to watch for and
pull any plants before they set seed and tins
spent walking their fields to spot these first
■
•
plants can pay off by preventing a general
infestation.
Anyone doubtful whetherhe has Velvetleaf
can call the Weed Inspector at 393-6398 for
positive identification.

The summer meetings for the board will be

25.
A letter has gone out from William Eckert,
Director of Education, to parents who are
ratepayers in the Listowel area concerning
the board's plans for a new Catholic school in
the town. He reported a survey was
conducted in 1985 by the Board Accommoda-
tion Review Committee who said an attempt
to establish a Kindergarten to Grade 8
elementary school in 1988 will be planned. A
school site is to be purchased and the
Ministry of Education to be asked for funds
for construction. A meeting is to be arranged
with parents and ratepayers in Listowel in the
Fall of 1986 to discuss the board's survey
results and
plans
fo0FST"t new
The survey results indicate that minimum
of 65 students would attend if a school were
started this y� year, of these 32 presently attend
the local public school plus 33 studeSents
whl o
now attend St. Mary's Sep
Hesson, it is expected that an additional 43
students who now attend other more distagt
Catholic schools may also attend the ne
Listowel School from Wellington County who
live within 24 km. of Listowel. It is expected
there could be over 130 students who would
attend.
The Ministry of Education has established
the requirement in Intermediate and Senior
Divisions of Ontario schools that french be a
requireeinent, starting at Grade 4 to Grade 8.
As .of September, 1987, a student entering
grade 4 must receive French instruction hi

homes.
The Kilbarchan Nursing Home will close
it's doors June 27,• following a decision by the

facility for new residents, said administrator
Irwin Johnston. •
"The license is for 30 beds, and all we've
basically done is transfer the license," Mr.
Johnston said.
