Times-Advocate, 1978-11-30, Page 5Defeated Huron trustees given accolades by cohorts If voters failed to take past records into consideration when selecting board of education trustees in the November 13 municipal elections the board of education did not allow those records to go unnoticed. At its last meeting Monday night the 1977-78 board of education in Huron County cited two veteran trustees who both lost bids for re­ election earlier this month. At the close off the board’s final session, board chair­ man John Elliott said wanted to take the time he to Sugar and Spice Continued from front page ,4 charge, and took me back to the derelict, where I expected to find my wife literally shaking with rage. At me. Something’s happening to her. Ten years ago, in such an incident, she’d have ripped into me with assorted charges of incompetence, mopery and gawk. But she’s mellowed. She merely ask­ ed me how things went. When the tow­ truck arrived and hoisted our front end high, we both elected to remain in the car. As we sailed majestically off to the garage, I ventured tentatively, “Fun, isn’t it?”, she grinned, and we were closer then we’ve been for a while. We suffered a learned exposition from the mechanic, whose favorite word, ironically, was “irony”. Not the sort of word mechanics usually toss about. He expounded, “The irony of it is that if I put in a new master cylinder, at about $120, you may still have no brakes, since there may be air in the lines, and I can’t bleed the lines because the foofawraw might break if I applied the thingummy.” He went on. “If you still have no brakes, you have a problem.” I almost expected him to say. “N’est-ce pas?”, the question was so ridiculous. “Of course, you could put in new thanabobs, but they are $12 each, plus labor.” Finally, after an hour and a half, we abandoned the thing in the garage and set off on foot with our presents for the kids: a clown suit for Poke, which my wife had labored on with love for two weeks, a bag of apples that weighed twenty pounds, a pair of shoes for Kim, and various miscellaneous articles, all heavy. We made the bus home by the skin of our teeth, after a hectic half hour with the young ‘uns. And Disaster Three struck. Overcome by the day’s vicissitudes, I fell asleep in front of the TV, cigarette in hand, and burned a hole in the couch, a blanket, and my stomach. Not to mention my wife’s new-found mellowness. C’est la vie. They come in three.

Parkhill 242 Roskeen St 294-6321 “publicly recognize the chairman said being a board contribution’’ Wingham ”««« — trustee Jack Alexander and Goderich trustee Cayley Hill “had both made to the education system in this county.” Both Hill and Alexander lost elections in their respective municipalities. Alexander, the junior trustee of the two, has served the board for the past six years while Hill has been a trustee for seven. Hill was defeated by a newcomer to the politics of education in Huron. He and trustee Dorothy Wallace were both seeking re­ election as Goderich representatives and were challenged by Dave Gower, a former town councillor in the county seat. Gower managed to edge Hill out in a close race to join Wallace as a Goderich rep. The election was the second Hill had lost bringing his record to two wins, two losses and an acclamation. He lost the first board of education election in Goderich to Dorothy Wallace and later that year was appointed to the board when Goderich was given two seats on the board. In sub­ sequent elections he defeated George Parsons and Harold Knisley to join Wallace at the board level and after an acclamation in 1976 he was defeated by Gower. Alexander’s public image in Wingham plummeted since the last municipal elections in 1976. Seeking his second term on the board in those elections Alexander and running mate Alex Corrigan, who shared representation of the town and two outlying townships, were one-two in the polls when the votes were coun­ ted. Corrigan passed away suddenly during his two year term and was replaced by Murray Mulvey, who was appointed by the board. In the 1978 election both were challenged by Bert Morin and Reverend John Swan. Mulvey topped the education polls election night and Morin was elected by a 200 vote margin over in­ combent Alexander. During that election issue was made of Alexander’s habit of taking a winter holiday. Candidates claimed that the incumbent trustee was shirking his duty by taking an extended winter vacation in the .south and voters obviously agreed. Elliott mentioned the vacation Monday night supporting Alexander.

He said being criticised for being away for 27 days during a 365 day period “I feel is unjust.” Elliott supported Alexander once before when the board rapped his knuckles for being absent for a series of board meetings while on his winter vacation. The board was considering asking for Alexander’s resignation but Elliott pointed out that the Wingham trustee had been a victim of circumstance and was not as truant as it ap­ peared to the board. Elliott pointed out that Alexander had planned his vacation for February and March planning to miss two board meetings but weather delayed the January session for a week and because of that Alexander missed that meeting as well. “In the time I have served on the board with Mr. Alexander, I feel he has made a fair and creditable contribution during his tenure,” said Elliott. The chairman also lauded Hill’s record as a trustee. He said the Goderich trustee has been a “very active” member of the board and was “heavily involved with salary negotiations.” Hill served as chairman of the salary negotiating team for the board at one point and was a member of the team during the recent secondary school teacher’s strike. “He has made tremendous contribution the education system in Huron”, said Elliott. e M JR XS 4$ '.ifl f . \ w** JU.? ■ A jfeu... x/7®*4 /]. ■ c/.2 ft I z w 1 i A A r PRICES EFFECTIVE UNTIL DEC. 9th \ V OJU This Giant Size PLUSH BEAR A WINNER IN EVERY GUARDIAN DRUG STORE! \ Pick Up Your Free Entry Form Today- and Good Luck!
