Study presented to board
By Shelley McPhee Haist
CLINTON - Codes of behavior, physical
contact guidelines, disciplinary measures
and contact with outside agencies are four
,of the issues and areas of address that a
special committee of the Huron County
Board of Education ( HCBE) has examined
and made recommendations on.
The recommendations come in the form of
a study and report entitled Student -Teacher
Relationships. The report was presented to
HCBE trustees by director of education Bob
Allan at the February board meeting.
Mr. Allan reported that the study and
recommendations are the result of several
months f work rr nd survey by a special
committee, - of professional
educators, from teachers, principals, vice
principals and the executive team for the
HCBE.
Codes of Behavior
While all secondary schools in the HCBE
system have established codes of bahavior,
as well as many elementary schools, the
report recommends that all elementary
schools'should complete the development of
individual codes of behavior.
The general guidelines for student
behavior codes are based on the suggestion
that such policies should be developed co-
operatively with the help of parents,
students and staff in each school. The code
should emphasize self-worth and self -

No news from Ministry
on proposal
revised sewer
It has been° over a month since the
village resubmitted its proposal to the
Ministry of the Environment (MOE
regarding the resubmitted proposal for the
sewers project, but Lucknow council has
yet to receive any word from the ministry.
The situation has some council members
worried with at least one councillor recom-
mending that council should be getting in
touch with Huron-BruceMPP Murray
Elston to clarify the situation.
"We've got to push Murray Elston on
these sewers.. We're just not putting
enough pressure on him," said Councillor
Eldon Mann, voicing his impatience at the
council meeting on February 10.
At a meeting with Mr. Elston on
.February 12, Reeve Herb Clark said the
MPP would check into the situation with
the Environment Ministry. However,
there is no news on the re -submitted
sewage project proposal.
"He couldn't tell us anything definite. He
said it ( the re -submitted proposal) would
be coming up to the review committee
before too long. He couldn't give us a
definite date," said Mr. Clark.
At their January meeting, council
received a reply from Ontario Environ-
ment Minister James Bradley, asking that
the village re -submit tkeir sewage project
proposal taking into account the the entire
village.
The new application would ° be re-
evaluated by the Priority Rating Commit-
tee of the MOE which will consider all sup-
plementary information, the letter said.
Board looks to long-range plan
Lucknow Arena Board members have
agreed to approach their respective coun-
cils with a mandate for a new Lucknow
arena to be built by 1990 after a . meeting
with the Arena Complex Fund-raising
Committee on February 11.
The motion to take the mandate of a new
arena back to the four municipalities was
made by new Arena Board chairman
Grant Farrish, after Lucknow Arena
'Board representative Ab Murray
reiterated Lucknow council's position that
a new sewer system for the village was
their top priority with the funding picture
for the project as yet unresolved.
The fund-raising committee, who had
met briefly prior to the Arena Board
meeting, presented the financial state-
ment of the fund-raising to date to the
Arena Board.
Fund -Raising Committee Chairman
Walter Arnold reported that, so far, 'the
committee has raised $140,647.06 with
$100,147.06 in the bank and outstanding
pledges amounting to $40,500.
"The pledges are very stable pledges
which we feel are collectible if the arena
goes ahead," said Mr. Arnold.
Mr. Arnold also asked the board once
more for the financial support of all four
municipalities, if the new arena, is . to
become a reality.
"There is no point in us ( the committee)
building it on our own. We need the permis-
sion of the Village of Lucknow and we
definitely have to have the financial back-
ing of the surrounding municipalities. In
the end product, they have to be responsi-
ble to maintain it," said Mr. Arnold.
• Ab Murray said, although Lucknow
council fully supports the work of the fund-
raisers and has said so publicly on
numerous occasions, council's financial
priority for the future lies with the propos-
ed sewer project. He said the village has
been told by MPP Murray Elston that if
government money was spent on the
sewers, council shouldn't "come looking
for any more" for a new arena.
Also, he said there were a number of
"internal problems" currently facing the
Arena Board, including ,a more equitable
split on operational costs at the arena
among the four municipalities.
However, he said he was sympathetic
towards the fund-raising committee which
has to raise money for the new arena even
though no municipal money would be for-
thcoming in the near future.
"Truthfully, I think I know the problems
facing the fund-raising committee. The
$140,000 is no good to nobody, but who
wants to raise money for a dead horse," he
said.
Mr.. Arnold asked if council had any
long-range plans for the arena as no one
seems to have a "magic number" of how
long the present arena will last.
Ab Murray suggested that no such plans
were in the works. "Truthfully, I don't
know of any plans to replace it," he, said.
Mr. Arnold , proposed that the Arena
board should be looking at a long-range
plan for the new arena in order to let the
people know "what direction the project is
going in."
"Maybe you could go back to your coun-
cils and work out the feasiblity of a long-
range plan for the arena with a substantial
figure of $250,000 a piece programmed into
the budget, even if it's a five-year plan.
"This should allow enough time for the
council's to get their house in order," he
said.
At the brief Arena Complex Fund-
Raising Committee, Mr. Arnold said the
money. raised thus far will be held in trust
by the LucknoW Lions Club. He also said
the committee was investigating various
ways to invest the money to "get the best
rate of return we can."
