Huron .County Council ap- proved the salary increases at its regular sessiononFeb. 3. Grey Township Reeve Leona Armstrong said most of .the increase is being col- lected by the county for the federal government in the form of income tax and other deductions. As an example; she used clerk -treasurer Bill Hanley's 1983. salary of $44 044 up from his 1982 salary of $42,536. "After all maximum deduc- tions and exemptions, his take home pay with the $1,500. maximum reflects a tWo per- cent raise while the five per- cent raise reflects only an ad- ditional dditional 2.8 percent raise," noted Mrs. Armstrong. "I -can still hear.Mr. Mac- Donald of CUPE (Canadian Union of -Public Employees •representative Gordon Mac- Donald of London) say we don't appreciate our. people: We do. But it's not easy to be fair," added the - Grey Township reeve. She suggested that "static" be raised to the school board as 40 percent of 245 teachers are over the $35,000 bracket". The 1983 department heads' salaries are -as follows with 1982 salaries in brackets: clerk -treasurer 844,044 much easier to ask fon help..

Board praised by parents for gifted child project A group of parents from the Wingham area has praised the Huron County Board of Education for setting up a pilot project for gifted children. Holly keit of Wingham, representing a group ten- tatively known as the North Huron Association for Bright Children, said ''We are here to acknowledge the ,pro gressive attitude"taken by the board.. .. Mrs. Keil's child is one of 10 children currently enrolled in a pilot project as part of the special education program approved by the board last ;April.. The 10 children spend one half day a week at Golden Cir- cle chool, Wingham under the direction of the board's area resource *acher Debbie Heslinga. Mrs..(iesjinga is the area resource, teacher for ,enrichment and gifted childred. The pilot project started on Jan. 1 of this year and superintendent of special education D. R. Miller said the project is being evaluated for possible expansion across the county. He added the children were identified for the project by "casecon- ferences" and recommended for. the program, Mrs. Keil said up untij now there: has been no such pro gram for the gifted children in Huron County. Since the pro -- gram has started the parents have: grouped together and have become affiliated with. the provincial Association for Bright Children. Now that the, parents have come together, Mrs. Keil. said, plans are being for- mulated for activities outside of school hours. These non - board expense.activities may include such things as a trip • to the Art Gallery of Ontario -and family get togethers; . This parent describes the children as being "typically gifted" rather than Eins- tein's.. They have a high in- tellectual ability, noted Mrs. Keil, and said if they don't receive enrichment their ability may not prdgi'ess. She acknowledged that most parents have been in contact with the schools since their children entered kindergarten. "They have always receiv- ed good co-operation from the schools," commented Mrs. Keil. ' She told • the board the _parents have wanted something like this program for awhile. Now that it has started parentshave been willing to invest !pee time. personal resourcesand finances. Board chairman Dorothy Wallace said a lot of the credit for the program goes to Mr. Miller. She also added, "It's nice to have a bouquet thrown our way once in a while." The 10 children come from gradesthree to six at East . Wawanosh, Turnberry and Wingham Public Schools. They are bused to Golden Cir- cle and are currently involv- ed in learning the process of. television • at CKNX in Wingham.
