Education budget held to 4.3 percent
CLINTON - A "surprise" anti -
recessionary funding program by
the province has saved a lot of
headaches for the Huron County
Hoard of Education. The board
voted unanimously in favour of a
4.3 percent mill rate increase for
1991 Monday night, after initially
harbouring fears of double digit
increases.
Last Tuesday the board received
word from the Ministry of Educa-
tion that $691,000 would be allo-
cated to the H.C.B.E. to help com-
bat the growing costs of
maintaining the education system.
The 4.3 percent mill rate in-
crease reflects increased costs in
several items within the board's re-
sponsibility including computer
services, special education and
regular day school.
Trustees opted not to allocate
$ 100,000 into a capital reserve
funds after trustee John Jewitt
pointed out that $500,000 was al-
ready in reserve and other projects
need the board's attention.
Jewitt put forth the mill rate mo-
tion with an amendment that no
money be placed in a reserve capi-
tal account so seven projects which
were prioritized by the board could
get underway.
The cost of all the projects is esti-
mated at $216,000 and includes the
cost of fixing the roofs of Vanastra
and McCurdy public schools.
Board director Bob Allan noted
the trustees were granted more
"output than ever before" in decid-
ing the fate of this year's budget.
Allan conceded the anti -
recessionary funding was a lifesav-
er in keeping the H.C.B.E.'s mill
rate increases under that of infla-
tion.
"Our live changed on Tuesday."
he quipped.
Trustee Norm Pickell agreed with
Allan's summation noting the in-
crease is "far better than what I
though we would be facing."
"I think we've come up with
something we can live with,"
agreed Jewitt.
The exact breakdown of the mill
rate for the amended budget will be
released this week.

PARKHILL - The Parkhill Pee-
wee Panthers defeated Smithville
last Thursday to advance into the
"C" finals.
The team played their first game
in Schomberg on Sunday, March
24. Parkhill edged their opponents
with a 3-2 score in a very fast game
of hockey. Both teams appear to be
well -matched and it should prove
to be a great best of five series.
Next game this Friday, March 29
at 3 p.m. in N/Middlesex arena,
Parkhill. Third game back in
Schomberg, on Saturday, at 3:00
p.m. Parkhill goalscorers were
Mike Stanlake, Aaron Brooks, and
Ryan Sheppard. Goalie Shane Ma-
guire was kept busy and came up
