( Photo by Alan Rivett ) Kinloss students male special delivery to local post office By Alan Rivett Last week, Steve Fonyo finished his Journey for Lives run across Canada, something his predecessor Terry Fox came so close to achieving when he fell victim to Cancer, the disease which prompted the run. In the process of Fonyo's run, millions of dollars were raised for Cancer research. This week, Grades 1 to 3 at Kinloss Cen- tral Public School contributed to Steve Fonyo's Journey for Lives in their own special way. The students wrote a letter to Steve Fonyo with a cheque for $20 and delivered it to the Holyrood post office last Monday. Mrs. Betty Ann Elphick, the Grade 1 teacher at the school, said the children have been following the Fonyo run with keen in- terest since it began. "They've been follow- ing the run all year since it came into the news," she says. "The kids really picked up on it. She said the letter~ said that the 42 students. had followed the run and they were really proud of him. They wanted to share a bit of the money they had raised through hot dog sales at the school to fight Capcer. „ The letter, said Mrs. Elphick will be for- warded to Mrs. Ackert, a Cancer represen- tative in Walkerton, who will send the letter to Steve Fonyo. Jeffery Porter, a Grade 1 student who worked op the letter, said- they sent the let- ter to Steve Fonyo because -of his courageous run for Cancer. "(We sent the letter) because he ran across Canada," he said. , f "He's nice and he's a hero," said Sherry Hayes, also a Grade 1 student who was in- volved in writing to Steve Fonyo. In addition to sending the letter, the ,students in Mrs. Elphick's and Mrs. Black's class received a grand tour of the Holyrood Post Officeby owner Karyn Allen in connec- tion with Postal Employees Week across Canada. "They were really excited about writing. and sending the letter and going to the post office," said Mrs. Elphick who said the students also received a big invitation from the post office for the visit., Bruce -Grey school taxes increase Education taxes for separate elementary schools will increase by $13.95 for the average homeowneras a result of the ap- proval of a $13,096,245 budget by the Bruce - Grey County Roman `Catholic Separate School Board, May 14. The local share of costs amounts to $1,576,444 with individual increases in local municipalities ranging between $7 and $17. The 1985 budget in- creases 8.8 per cent over 1984 -.expenditures • with a 4.9 per cent increase in the mill rate., Feature in the $13-,096,245 budget are in- structional costs to operate a program for the trainable retarded for the first time. An extension of special education under Bill 82, the' program will be implemented by establishing two classes within the school system and by purchasing services from three neighbouring school boards. Budget highlights also include the initia- tion of a French Immersion program at For- mosa in September. French as a first language and immersion programs are already in operation in the Port. Elgin and Kincardine areas. French as a second language has been in operation at all grade levels for a number of years. Current projections indicate a small in- crease in enrollment for September. Up- dated long term forecasts indicate annual increases until 1989, according to W.A. Brown, director of education. "Changes in provincial grant formulae were sufficient to offset on-going increases in the cost of goods and services along with the extension of existing programs and ser- vices," said Brown. • "We were also able to absorb increases in - rates for services and employee benefits such as unemployment insurance, Canada Pension Plan, Workmen's Compensation, which are mandated by higher levels of government and which farr exceeded both government restraint programs," said Brown in his.budget report. "Direct special education costs are increasing by some 15 per cent over 1984," said Brown. Major components of the budget include $8,638,205 for instruction including teachers' salaries; $295,010 for business administra- tion and $235,518 for general administra- tion; $804,823 for plant operation and $310,000 for plant maintenance; $1,910,051 for transportation and $270,593 for capital projects.
