Clinton News-Record, 1978-02-02, Page 8PAGE 8—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1978 Through the other weeklies The Wingham Advance - Times reported that the block parent program is now in full swing in the town as presently 114 residences have been designated as block parent homes. However, according to chainan Rick Whiteley, most of the homes are con- centrated in one area of town, leaving other areas poorly serviced. Another canvass may be started in town to recruit more block parents in all. areas of Wingham. However Whiteley hopes that more homeowners will volunteer their services for the program. In the meantime Constable Tom Creeden of the Wingham Police Force has been speaking to students in the schools about the program and what they should do if an emergency occurs. The students were told that the block parent homes are not stop -overs for snacks, but are just for emergencies. The Huron Expositor reported that close to 100 parents turned up at the Seaforth District High School for the first of a three-part program focussing on sex education and teenage pregnancy. The program is being presented by the Huron County Health Unit and the staff of SDHS, if the majority of the parents approve. Bruce Shaw, principal of SDHS said that the problem of teenage pregnancy is very real. There are presently five teenage mothers in the school, among the 390 students. He explained to the parents that that is more than at any other school in the county. He noted that the girls involved in the pregnancies were from grades 9, 10 and 11. Shaw stressed the im- portance of teaching sex education in the younger grades, not only in grades 12 and 13. He said that many parents feel that sex education should be taught in the older grades, but younger students should not be ex- posed to it. However, he noted that then it might be too late. Despite a lack of com- munity support,, the Goderich. Community Grandstand Committee has decided to proceed with plans for a grandstand to be built this year. The Goderich Signal -Star reported that the grandstand would be a no frills con- struction. Originally a 1,200 seat grandstand had been proposed and would cost approximately $300,000. However Larry Jeffrey, committee chairman said a similar grandstand as the one built in Clinton ' would be constructed for somewhel'e between $211,000 and $230,000. At that cost the community would have to raise ap- proximately $86,250 plus interest costs, after grants. Even if the group is to proceed with the building this spring, it is likely that the Goderich Trotting Association will miss some of their racing dates which begin May 28. The trotting association has approached the OAC with the problem. Gary Harron, the Reeve of Amabel Township was ap- pointed the Warden of Bruce County at the 1978 Inaugural Session, The Lucknow Sen- tinel reported. Harron was elected over Alvin Thompson, Reeveof Kincardine Townsip, another contender for the position. The Mitchell Advocate reported to its readers that the Town of Mitchell may soon have a 24-hour taxi service if Hank Schoonbeck can make }such an effort pay. Schoonbeck attended a recent towrf council meeting and was granted permission to apply for a taxi license. Schoonbeck has run a taxi service in Mitchell for the past four years but never actually set up service there. o However, if the license is granted, Schoonbeck would be allowed to operate cabs at Toronto International Air- port. Some question was raised whether Schoonbeck would have enough calls to support the business when it only takes 20 m•nutesto walk from one end of town to the other, however, he said that members of council would be amazed at how many people use taxis. He referred to his operation in Orillia as a comparison. The Listowel Banner reported that a safety committee has been formed by the Listowel Memorial Hospital. The committee will meet once a month and within the committee there will be an inspection committee. The inspection committee will tour the hospital every two weeks. The members of the committee will make the tours on a rotating basis. the report from the in- spection committee goes to the,,safety committee who in turn sends it to the hospital administrator. The Kincardine News reported that Kenneth G. McKinnon, a Port Elgin dairy farmer has been re-elected as chairman of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board at a special meeting in Toronto on January 13. He will represent milk Action Pricea , Vanilla or Butterscotch Ripple WESGATE ICE CREAM ALL PRICES SHOWN IN THIS AD GUARANTEED EFFECTIVE THROUGH SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4th, 1978. w'rr producers in the counties of Bruce, Grey and Huron. Elsewhere on the front page, The News reported that a bomb threat at the Kin- cardine and District Com- munity, Centre emptied the building, and caused all the activities of the day to be called off. Action Priced I The community centre board refrained from issuing a statement and the matter is under investigation by the Kincardine Police Force.
