The Citizen, 1991-10-02, Page 13THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2,1991. PAGE 13. Grey students report on school happenings Grey Central School has a new group of reporters this year. They are grade 8 students, Troy Williams, Tom Pearson, Angela Clegg, Amanda Ziegler, Stephanie Alward, and Nicole Moore. They will be reporting on a regular basis to bring the community news, sports and interesting acts about Grey Central. In addition to the many physical changes that the school underwent in the past year there have been some changes in the staff. Paul Sta- tia is our new principal and he comes to Grey from Howick where he spent six years. Prior to that Mr. Statia was at Tumberry. He resides with his wife in Wroxeter. "This year is going to be a great one," Mr. Statia told our reporters. Mary Douma is new to our staff, as is Gail Robertson. Mrs. Douma is teaching kindergarten and Miss Robertson is teaching Grade 1/2. We will have more information Councillors discuss 911 for village continued from page 11 Councillor Shirley Fyfe, a nurse, agreed saying since ambulance dis­ patch was put through either Lon­ don or Owen Sound the service has been terrible. "They don't get the directions straight" she said. Councillor Dave Lee said he knows there are advantages to the system when callers can get in touch with police, fire and ambu­ lance by calling one number but he saw "an astronomical cost." Coun­ cillor Fyfe agreed the system is probably good in larger municipali­ ties. Reeve Wasson said the only advantage he saw to 911 was in answering emergency calls but with new, portable telephone units, the local fire department would be able to solve that problem. "I think we're better spending money on two-way radios," he said. *** Council will be asking for money owed to it and the Public Utilities Commission by Blyth Festival in connection with the expansion of Memorial Hall. Figures at council showed the Memorial Hall operat­ ing costs at way over budget because the Festival so far hasn't picked up its share of heating costs because the joint operation agree­ ment between the Festival and the village has still not been signed. Under that agreement, the Festival is to pick up 37 per cent of the utili­ ty bill for the building to pay for the additional costs involved in heating the expanded facility. The Festival still has outstanding bills with the Public Utilities Commis­ sion in connection with the expan­ sion project. Reeve Wasson asked Mrs. Grubb to calculate what the bill will be. "Il's lime now that this is complet­ ed," he said. *** Council agreed to proclaim Oct. 16 as World Food Day. Council agreed to proceed with repairs to the village tractor esti­ mated to cost $2400 as well as repairs to the town snowplow to prepare it for winter. *** Large item pick-up day was set as Saturday, Oct. 12. Residents with items too large for a normal garbage can leave them out that day to be picked up and taken to the dump. about these teachers in upcoming reports.
