Board will take discip1iniry action
against f Exeter
The Huron County Board of Education has
decided to take action against Exeter high
school teacher Joanne Young, but isn't
releasing details of such action.
Mrs. Young, a mathematics teacher at
South Huron District High School, par-
ticipated in an anti -war demonstration on
November 18 at a Litton Systems of Canada
Ltd. plant in Toronto where the guidance
system for the cruise missile is made.
The 56 year-old mother of four is currently
in the Toronto West Detention Centre
refusing to give her name. She has been held
in custody since November 18 when she
refused to sign a pledge to appear in court
school teacher
The teacher is staging a hunger strike in
the detention centre and has had only water
since her arrest. The school board held a
special meeting Monday, November 28 and
after spending over two hours in committee-
of -the -whole, the board chairman, Dorothy
Wallace issued a press release,
The board contends that Mrs. Young has
made it a "matter of public record that her
request for a day's absence with pay was
denied by two officials of the board. '
Director of Education Robert Allan said
the fact that her request was denied is the
focus of the board's decision to take action.
It is also noted that Mrs, Young has made
it known that she requested a similar day off
in November 1082 and the request was
denied. She took the day off and had a
reduction in salary.
"Mrs. Young has been given and will be
given an , ► ► , unity to place her position
ore the rd and further that the board
has decided on a course of disciplinary
action which relies on the intent of
progressive discipline as defined %r► common
law," states the press release.
Mr. Allan said the board is using common
law as opposed to the education act or the
secondary teacher's contract.
Ontario Municipal Board will decide
on Christian high school severance
By Stephanie Levesque
The future of the proposed Christian
secondary school near Wingham rests in the
hands of the Ontario Municipal Board.
The board concluded four days of a hear-
ing at the assessment building in Goderich
on Tuesday, Nov. 22, and has to decide to
either uphold the Huron County Land Divi-
sion Committee's decision to grant a
severance to Lloyd Hutton Real Estate Ltd.
of Kincardine, or turn it down as requested
by East Wawanosh Township.
The hearing resumed on Monday and
Tuesday of last week, following a three-
month hiatus since its beginning in August.
The board is considering an appeal by
East Wawanosh and residents of Hutton
Heights o the residential strip adjacent to the
land to be severed Y. The township and
residents are opposed to the severing of 7.9
acres of land owned by the Kincardine real
estate firm.
There is an agreement of purchase
between the real state firm and the
Wing„haam and District Interdenominational
Christian High School Society. The society is
proposing to construucl a secondary school
on the site.
Events lea }'Ing to the OMB hearing inu-
chide the township's decision to turn down a
severance application by the real estate
firm, to sever 7.9 acres from the 1.10 -acre
property. The land division committee over-
turned the township's derision awl gave ap-
proval for the severance subject to a zoning
by lace .

The township has not approved such a
bylaw so the OMB is also going to consider a
request for zoning by Hutton Real Estate
from residential two acres t and restricted
agriculture to institutional.
Lawyers for the three parties involved,
the township, the county and Mr. Hutton,
who gave their summations on the last day
of the hearing.
The township's lawyer, Al,. Ostner of
Waterloo, said that any approval of the
severance is -premature" because a one
foot reserve adjacent to the property to be
severed would prevent access to the proper-
ty.
He cited a precedent -setting case which
showed there is no law binding the township
to allow access through the one foot reserve.
The county's lawyer, D. J. Murphy of
Goderich, said it is -preposterous" to think
that it ash Wawanosh Township would not
agree to allow access to the school society.
The lawyers also disagreed on whether or
not the proposed severance agreed with the
agricultural code of practice or with the
township's secondary plan.
- Both applications do not corm* with the
county official plan err the towmslvip's secon-
dary plan... said Mr. Ostner.
The township's lawyer argued that
became !Hutton Heeigihts is not an urban
area, an institution such as a school
shouldn't be- located in what LS termed a
residential area.
41r timer also commented on an alter-
native site proposed 4 the torwnshvp There
is vacant property in the hamlet of Belgrave
which is partly located in the township, East
Wawanosh is suggesting the school locate at
that site.
Mr. Murphy termed the Belgrave sugges-
tion a recd herring" because the same ob-
jections such as further encroachment on
prime agricultural lands, would still be voic-
ed. The Goderich lawyer argued that the
severance does comply with the official plan
which states institutional buildings can be
located anywhere in the county and the
secondary plan follows the c6u my plan.
The site chosen by the Christian society
would affect the township the least, said Mr.
Murphy, because it is in an area where
development hiss already taken p1 'ce.
Mr. Hutton's lawyer, Norman Pickell of
Kincardine, argued that the severed land
should be desigr►ated institutional. He said if
the land is severed, the zoning should follow
as a matter M course.
He painted out that, of four planners
speaking as witnesses, three agreed the
severence complied with regulations. The
district manager of the F orodland Preserva-
tion Branch of the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food. Neal Smith, was the
one dissenting planner .
The dispute among the planners focused
on a barn located nearby Einder considera-
tion. Mr. Smith said in earl er testimony
that the barn is too close to the prosect
school site.
