8 tables in play at Belgrave shoot party
FROM BELGRAVE
Fourteen nieces and nephews of
Helen Stonehouse visited on Sunday,
Oct. 21 at the home of Bill and
Muriel Coultes, i Those attending
were Bob and Shirley Smart,
Wascade, MB; Larry and Sonya
Ellis, Whitevale, ON; Jack and Edith
Walker and Bob and Dawna Sproule,
Goderich; Audrey MacKay,
Wingham; Thelma Pletch, Belgrave
and Glenn and Dorothy Coultes,
RR5, Brussels.
A great time was had sharing
memories and a meal together.
Maitland and Mary Edgar of
Petrolia visited recently with Helen
Stonehouse.
There were eight tables of shoot in
play at the Belgrave Community
Centre on Friday, Oct. 26.
Winners were: high lady, • Merle
McFarlane; second high lady, Mary
McIntosh; most shoots, Lois
Chamney; low lady, Mary Hunter;
high man, Bill Nethery; second high
St. Joseph
Continued from page 7
school in the Huron-Perth board is
2.0 for St. Joseph school at RR3
Goderich. St. Joseph school in
Clinton and Hesson's St. Mary's
school -are next lowest at 2.1. The
board's other "satisfactory" school is
St. Aloysius in Stratford, with a rat-
ing of 2.3
In the Avon Maitland District
School Board, just three of 54
schools are rated "satisfactory": St.
Marys Central Public School in St.
Marys, Stratford Central . Secondary
School, and Turnberry Central
Public School outside Wingham.
Generally, both boards in Huron
and Perth Counties rate above the
provincial trend, with 94.44 per cent
of Avon Maitland's schools scoring
"good" or better, compared to an
Ontario-wide average of 67.6 per
cent. In the Huron-Perth board,
78.95 per cent of schools score
"good" or better.
One problem, suggests Thuss, is
that the surveys assess a one-time
perspective on what it's like inside
the school, without considering what
cosmetic or short-term improve-
ments the board has made to ensure
the safety and comfort of the facility.
A glance, at school-by-school
results on the ministry's website
shows there's no guarantee the sur-
man, Ken Spears; most shoots, Norm
Turnbull; low man, George Michie.
The next shoot is Friday, Nov. 9.
Friday, Nov. 2 is the next seniors
meeting.
On Wednesday, Oct. 24 there were
eight tables of euchre in play at the
Women's Institute Hall:
rating, 2.0
veys were administered in identical
fashion at each school. With some
schools, especially junior elemen-
tary schools, student input was
sometimes apparently not sought,
while others did accept student
results.
On the page showing results for
the Hesson school, only the princi-
pal's ratings and a list of over-all rat-
ings are included, with no explana-
tion of why other stakeholders aren't
included. The school's over-all rat-
ing on that page of the website is
"unacceptable," yet the information
passed forward to the board-wide
analysis of the surveys corresponds
with the "satisfactory" rating provid-
ed under the principal's survey
results.
Thuss hadn't seen the school-by-
school portion of the website, but he
argues the surveys have limited use-
fulness.
"If the information is used in the
right context, maybe it can give us a
good sense of how the buildings are
at that time," the superintendent of
business said. "But if the ministry is
using these surveys to say that
everything is fine, that's not really
what's intended.
- "If (Nameth's) letter is any indica-
tion, they're starting to move in that
direction. And that's worrying."
Winners were: high lady, Helen man, George Michie; most lone
Gallop; second high lady, Ruth hands, Jim Coultes; low, Alice
Johnston; most lone hands, Jane Nicholson.
Grasby; low, Mabel Wheeler; high The next euchre is Wednesday,
man, Stuart Musgrove; second high Nov. 7.
