Remember who won Wolfe-Montcalm war?
Door closed on French Immersion
Huron County Board of Education
closed the door on French Immersion
at its February board meeting.
The board agreed to leave the Core
French program as it will be at the
end of this year and will not consider
the criteria for a voluntary late
French Immersion program in
Grades 7 and 8.
There was only a handful of
ratepayers at the meeting to hear the
verdict. Some parents were from a
group calling itself the concerned
parents for better basic education and
others were from the group which
asked the board a year ago to con-
sider putting French Immersion in
Huron County schools.
The only reaction from the au-
dience came when Clinton area
trustee Frank Falconer finished a
prepared speech.
"To all board members, it is your
decision which way you vote, but
remember one thing, who won the
war between Wolfe and Montcalm,"
said Falconer. He was applauded by
some of those in attendance.
He represents the taxpayers in the
Tuckersmith and Clinton area and he
said there were only about five
residents interested in French
Immersion.
"1 am almost certain when they
elected a Scotsman, they were sure
they were not going to get French
'Immerse' with his vote," said
Falconer.
The ad hoc committee recommend-
ed the board leave Core French as it
will be in September. The board
previously approved extending Core
French in Grades 7 and 8 from 20
minutes per day to 40 minutes per
day. The Grade 7 expansion took
place in September of 1984 and the
Grade 8 extension will take place
September of this year. The school
board again agreed to continue with
the expansion.
The ad hoc committee also recom-
mended establishing criteria for late
immersion. This was turned down by
the school board.
Ad hoc committee chairman Tony
McQuail said the cost of French Im-
mersion in Grades 7 and 8 could range
from $1,000 to $90,000. However, he
pointed out that the committee was
recommending that late immersion
only be offered in Huron if it did not
cost the board any money.
Trustee Joan VandenBroeck said it

Encroachment okayed

pass a bylaw to allow his client, Len
Veri, an encroachment onto town pro-

plex at the corner of Main and
Sanders St.
"Tell your client that," Mayor
Bruce Shaw quickly replied to
McLean's appreciation for couricil's
action.

hinted that council had an easement
they would like in return on property
owned by one of Veri's companies at
the north end of town.
McLean explained that the new
commercial complex housing the Big
V drug store and The Flower Pedlar
had encroached onto Sanders St. by
about one-quarter of a brick at the
east end and half a brick at the west
end.
He said the bylaw approving the en-
croachment was needed for reasons
of financing and explained that no
mortgage company would handle the
deal unless the encroachment mat-
ter was straightened out.
Building inspector Brian Johnston
said the encroachment amounted to
one-quarter of an inch at one point
and about two inches at the west side:
Later in Monday's session, council
approved erecting a street light on a
pole at the end of Alexander St. E. at
a cost of $250.
There is some question about the
ownership of the land on which the
pole is situated. The town has been us-
ing the property for -many years, but
learned Monday that the ownership is
disputed by one of Veri's companies.
Councillor Don Winter said the light
was needed in the area in view of
complaints stemming from the fact it
is a "favorite drinking spot"

Former resident's killer
is ruled to be insane
she'd killed Carey. "She had killed
my child and she planned to kill my
other two children. I'm glad I did it".
Assistant Middlesex Crown At -
An Ontario supreme court jury took
five minutes Monday to find Carole
Grammatke not guilty by reason of
insanity in the murder of a former
xeter.
on Psychiatric Hospital.
She is expected to be kept at St.
Thomas Psychiatric Hospital for an
indefinite period.
The jury finding came after a trial
that lasted less than two hours before
Mr. Justice Coulter Osborne, who said
the stabbing death of Rosalie Carey
of London was "a product of mental
illness".
Osborne assured the jury that
Grammatke, 47, will be kept in a
hospital for the criminally insane un-
til she has recovered from her diseas-
ed mind and is no longer dangerous
to herself or others.
Grammatke, a Kitchener resident
who was diagnosed as paranoid
schizophrenic and became a patient
at London Psychiatric Hospital in
1980, first showed symptoms of her
mental illness when she was 21, the
jury was told.
The woman told hospital staff and
later he couldn't understand the logic
of approving the light when council
had only recently turned down a re-
quest for a street light in an area in
the south-west corner of town that had
been requested by a citizen.
Councillor Tom Humphreys said
there was a considerable cost dif-
ference between the two projects. The
price tag for the light in the south-
west had been set at almost $1,000.

don woman was going to kill her
children.
ing "a very sad situation". He joined
defence lawyer John Getliffe in ask-
ing for the verdict of not guilty by
reason of insanity.
Psychiatrist Dr. Richard O'Reilly,
who assessed Grammatke at St.
Thomas Psychiatric Hospital after
the murder, said the woman suffers
from delusions that people have dou-
ble identities. At one point, he said,
she believed another patient at St.
Thonlas was planning to harm her
children and she was planning to kill
that patient.
to the jury revealed Grammatke said
she was "glad" she killed Carey ,who
had been in the hospital since 1979.
Carey, a former teacher and
mother of five, had been a permanent
patient at the psychiatric hospital
after contracting encephalitis, a
severe inflammation of the brain.
The statement said that about 1:40
a.m. November 1, a hospital nurse
found Grammatke in a bathroom
washing her arms with a towel that
was red with blood. In front of the
woman was a knife with a 10 -inch
blade.
The nurse then followed a series of
smudges of blood along a hallway
floor to the room occupied by Carey.
The victim was found in bed with a
"very large wound in her throat and
she was obviously dead".
While this grim discovery was be-
ing made, Grammatke told another
staff member she was "not sorry'

would be difficult for the board to not -
pick up costs for French Immersion.
McQuail said he would vote with the
committee's recommendations,
however, two other trustees on the
committee, Mr. Falconer and John
Elliott both said they would vote
against the late immersion proposal.
"My real sorrow is that this has
become a Quebec and Ontario con-
frontational issue," said McQuail.
Trustee VandenBroeck disagreed.
She described the turning down of a
late French Immersion program as
an "educational dilemma that cannot
be met at this time."
