Times-Advocate, 1978-11-30, Page 5 (2)Defeated Huron trustees given accolades by cohorts
U voters failed to take past
records into consideration
when selecting board of
education trustees in the
November 13 municipal
elections -the board of
education did not allow those
records to go unnoticed. At
its last meeting Monday
night the, -'1977-711 board of
education in Huron County
cited two veteran trustees
who both last bids for re-
election earlier this month.
At the close off the board's •
final session, board chair-
man John Elliott said he

derelict. where I expected to find my
wife literally shaking with rage. At me.
Something's happening to her. Ten
years agq,in such an incident, she'd
have ripped into me with assorted
charges of incompetence, mopery and
gawk. -
But she's mellowed. She merely. ask-
ed me how things went. When the tow -
truck 'arrived and hoisted our front end
high, we both elected to remain in the
car, As we sailed majestically off to
Abe garage, I ventured tentatively,
-"l: un. isn't it3", she grinned, and we
were closer then we've been for a
while.
We suffered a learned ex

' word, ironically. was "irony". Not the

cylinder, at about $120, you may still
have nabrakes, since there may be -air ---
in the lines, and I can't bleed the lines
because the foofawraw might break if I
applied the thingummy.`
He went on. "If- you still have no
brakes, you have a problem." I almost
expected him to say. "N'est-ce pas''".
the question was .so ridiculous. "Of
course. you could put in new
thanabobs. but they are $12 each, plus
labor." -
Finally, after an hour .and a half, we
abandoned the thing in the -garage and
set off on foot with our presents for the
kids: a clown suit for Poke, which my
wife had labored on with love for two
Weeks. a bag of apples that weighed
twenty pounds. a -pair of shoes for Kim.
and various miscellaneous articles. -all

We made the bus home by the skin of
our teeth, after a hectic half hour with
the young 'uns. And Disaster Three

t'publicly recognize the
contribution" Wingham
trustee Jack Alexander and
Goderich trustee Cayley Hill
"had both made to the
education system in this
county."
Both Hill and Alexandet
lost elections in their
respective municipalities.
Alexander, the junior trustee
of the two, has served - the
board for the past six years
while Hill has been a trustee
for seven.
Hill was defeated by a
newcomer to the politics of
education in -Huron. He and
trustee Dorothy.' Wallace
were both seeking re-
election as Goderich
representatives and were
challenged by Dave Gower,
a. former town councillor .in
the 'eounty seat. Gower
managed to edge Hill out in a
close race to join Wallace as
a Goderich rep.
The election was the
second Hill had lost bringing
his'.record to two wins, two
losses and an acclamation.
He lost the first board of
education election in-
Goderich to Dorothy Wallace
and later_ that year was -
appointed to the board when
Goderich was given . two
seats on the board. In sub-
sequent elections he
defeated George Parsons
and Harold Knisley .to join
Wallace at the board level
and after an acclamation in
1976 he was defeated by
Ggwer. •
Alexander's public image
in Wingham plummeted
stnce the last munitipal
elections in 1976..^Seeking his
second term on the board -in
those elections Alexander
-and running mate Alex
Corrigan, who shared
representation of the town
• and two outlyin`g townships,
were one-two in the polis
when the votes were' coun-
ted. Corrigan passed sway
suddenly''during his. ,twQ.year� `
m 'and -wag -replaced by
rray Mulvey, who was
appointed by the board.
--In the 1978 election both
'were challenged by Bert
Morin and Reverend John
Swan. Mulvey topped the .
education polls election night
and Morin was elected by a
200 vote margin over in-
combent Alexander. •
During that election issue
was' made of Alexander's
habit of taking a winter
holiday' Candidates claimed
that- the incumbent trustee
was shirking his duty by
taking an extended winter
vacation in the south and
voters obviously agreed.
' Elliott mentioned the
vacation ,'4londay night
supporting Alexander. The
chairman said being a board
of education trustee involves
actively participating in
education, board activities
and the activities of the
c0 munity add the louth o(
tha mmunity on ale or 31
day sis. He said being
criticised for being away for
27 days during a 365 day
period "I feel is unjust."_
Elliott supported
Alexander once before when
the board rapped his
knuckles for being absent for-
a series of board meetings
while on his winter vacation.
The board was considering
asking for Alexander's
resignation but Elliott
pointed out that the
Wingham trustee had been a -
victim of circumstance and
was not as- truant as it ap-
peared to the board.
Elliott pointed out that
Alexander had planned his
vacation for February and •
March planning to miss -two -
board fneetings but weather
delayed the January session
for a week and because of
that Alexander missed that
meeting as well.
"In the time I have served
on the board with Mr.
Alexander, I feel he • has
made a fair 'and creditable
contribution during his
tenure," said Elliott,: •
The chairman also lauded
Hill's record as a trustee. He
said the Gocjerich trustee has
been a "very' active"
member of the,board and
was_ 'heaviljr involved with
salary negotiations." Hill
served' as chairman of the
salary negotiating team for"
the board at one .point and
was a 'member •of the team -
during the recent secondary
school teacher's strike.
"He has made . a
tremendous contribution' to
the education system in
Huron, said Eltiott.
