The Goderich Signal-Star, 1972-11-30, Page 16.GODERICH, $KCNAL»STA itr .continuo from .per 1 , dida* to addres5 the group, starting' with, contestants for ,HuronBoard of Education, fetiritlg mrd member ,.(and board chairman) Bob Elliott told' the meeting. that he was ery disappointed in the turn. out. but went on to. say he was pleased to see enough interest in -the Board seat to have an elec- tion. "In my time on the board," "I have tried to prove that one per - can represent both Colborne and Goderich Townships." ,Speaking to who ever would fill his position next term he noted that the job was `time con- suming" but that it could be "very rewarding." "School board is a big business now," he told the group. "We have a budget in ex- cess of $10,000,000, serve 13,000 students and employ 800 to 900 people. Although 70 percent of the cost comes from the province much is still paid by . the ratepayers." With the province paying such a large share, he noted that many felt it would be trying to have too big a say in local board matters. "Whether this will be THURSDAY, lu"OyEM.B.i'' x 9 ' ,_ • true .or. not , depends on the representation," he said. ' The Ara candidate to ipeak wag Ronald Carter, He ex? ..plaiued that he waa a ratepayer in both Goderich and Colborne Townships and had lived in Huron County since 19!45. "I understand," he quipped„ "that even that many years living here does not make me a . native, . I ' guess you have to be born here to be a real native, but .1, have been . here long enough` to know about the area • and how the ratepayers •feel." Mr. Carter said he had been a businessman, farmer and, teacher and that experience in the three, areas would help him greatly if elected to the 'board. "As Mr..Elliott said, Board of Education is a big business," Mr. Carter noted, "and . my business experience will aid me in that category, I farmed for five years and I know how hard it is to make a living on a farm and that expenses (taxes) must be controlled. t have also been a teacher in Goderich for five years and I know about education from the inside as well." He said he wanted to be the Rec director continued from page 1 • -bourhoods, usually have a fair . knowledge of that area; the people in it, and hold a certain d legitimacy within the area. This type of committee, functioning in a consultative . and develop- ment' capacity, can insure in- .volvement and participation of . the -community." ZAn undertaking of this type has traditionally attempted to establish what programs exist; what programs - if 'any are wanted, and then proceed to fill in the gaps. This is an oversim- plification, of course, but is essentially , the ,underlying prin- cipal and basis for such a project." "An assumption has to be made that everyone has learning, recreational, edcational needs, and- that in many cases, these needs are very real and dramatic. A ,carefully prepared research project will identify personal and group needs in terms of leisure time activities, whether strictly - recreational or educational, or both." Methods used to implement project ' will include questionnaires, news media, meeting with clubs and' specific individuals, analyses of facilities and personal contact, door to door. "Questionnaires should do no more than provide statistical in- formation on existing in- stitutions, groups and their func- tions, membership, programs of- fered, location, meeting dates, etc:, information 'on existing prorams as to the type, who operates them, to whom they are available, location & statistics on existing facilities, available to the public, such as• name, location, size, purpose, extent of use, condition, accessability, and availability," the proposal states. representative for four reasons. He waa ,concerned about education as a. parent, especially, about the influence school has on children. fl He also noted "that he *as concerned how the system buys and'distributes its materials and was cogcetned that com- munications between 'the teachers and students, teachers and board and board and students were not better, „ "I -would also like to stress," he said, "that I try to be a - Christian and uphold Christian principles. If you do not want a Christian On the beard then 1 am, not your man." • Candidate Bob Swartman told the meeting that he was a business man in Goderich but lived in .Colborne township. "I'm not a very- good farmer," he joked. "I own two acres and raise seven ducks." "I have two children in the public school system in Colborne though," he said, "and I am concerned about education as a parent. Education is a very important part of our like." "The newsmedia can be used, rather' successfully, in preparing the public in general for the receiving of such a project. If approached properly, the public can be conditioned in attitude making it easier for those doing the leg -work to get maximum; participation." • "Meeting with cLubs and specific individuals can be done as needed," Mr. Dymond said. "It might be necessary or required to meet with 'some of the groups initially, but it is im- portant,to contact all by mail at the outset ,to. talk in terms that cannot be placed on a questionnaire." It is planned 'so that the per- sonal contact portion of ,the project can be done door to door, or at least, a cross section of homes in specific areas. This is the only part of the project in which a questionnaire is not suitable. "Questio9naires .present per- • sonal questions and ask .them in a very impersonal atmosphere, and the information is quite of- ten the result of strained com- munications. Those, who conduct this portion of the project will have to be prepared before hand as to the most successful. ap- proach. Persons with the at- titudes and personalities in- dicative of a sincere community interest and who have some idea of prevailing social conditions, would be ideal." - "The utilization of students from the upper grades of high school, as staff would be advan- tageous. There are students who are keen, have a sincere interest in the community, a certain legitimacy, and would be prepared to committ a few • Saturdays to the project. Briefing sessions • can be provided to best equip the student to conduct this par- ticularly important portion of the resource project." .He said he agreed that Board of Education was big bueinees and hoped that his "business ex- perience would help him in that area of work.; .. "I don't know that much about the Board of Education" he noted, "but I will learn,' and most of all will always snake. myself available to the , elec- tors." Mr. Swartman praised the new, credit system ip Secondary Schools and noted that he, like all parents, wanted above-- all.' the best for the children. The third Board of Education Candidate was John Westbrook, a former resident of the `town of Goderich and now a resident of, Goderich Township. "I . am a farmer," he ex- plained, "and like most farmers I work seven days a week but I will find sufficient time to work with the Board of. Education." In other areas Mr. Westbrook has been the Goderich ship representative representative on the Board of Governors at Alexandra Marine and General Hospital in Goderich and represented the • Township On the Federation of Agriculture. "I would ' do my.. best to represent the two townships of Goderich and Colborne as a unit," he told - the meeting. Present Reeve of Goderich, Everett Macllwain, who is seeking re-election; reviewed his term activities on County Coun- cil. "We have been pushing for some road work by the county in our township," he said, "especially at two intersections of county roads." "In the last term," he ex- plained, "the county has established a new department of Social. Services with a budget of $380,150." , "Although it may appear the rural areas subsidize the urban ones in this area of business," he told,the meeting, "indications are that many welfare recipients move from the rural area to the urban centres." Mr. MacIlwain- pointed to the improvements on the Benmiller Road and bridge as develop- ments made during his term. "The question of what to do withthe former Huron County Jail is still before council," he. ' pbinted out, "and the suggestion is being discussed about a museum of Penology. I really can't see many people attending such a place," he said. . He aid praise the Activities of the . Pendulum Players who staged out door theatre in the jail. courtyards last summer and suggested that such activities at the old jail would be an asset to "area businesses." . Mr. MacIlwain is being challenged for his seat this term by a former reeve, Grant Stirling. "I hope this election will generate more interest than this meeting." Mr. Stirling observed at the outset. "It is at the municipal level that the tax- payer gets the most for his money in • government.''. , He went on to charge that Huron County Council was 'Away out of line," in its expan- sion ' to .take in more deputy reeves. Mr. Stirling also said that he was opposed, to the recent sale of the Goderich Township Hall, "It waa well worth any expense it cost if it helped' keep the coins munity together, in any way, through the small gatherings held there." , In Awing Mr, Sterling urged those few present to get out and vote and to get their neighbors out to vote. Deputy Reeve for 'the new term, by virtue of acclamation, Gerry Ginn told the group that ,one of, the matters Town, p Council must consider soon would be what they intend to do with the money and property.ob- tained by ,the Township,threugh land severences. (The township collects 5 percent of the value in land sevierence deals or 5 per- cent of the property in sub- division agreements.) "This land is ,destined to be in , the field of recreation,",, he reminded the voters, "but how it is to be spent is another question." y "Do you want our o - wn recreation committee or would you like to make 'arrangements with Goderich,' For parks,' do you waist' ° va'ter front aceesa the lake or river, lirplaygrounds, or ball diamonds or ,just what?'" 1 short remarks to the meeting, councillor by ac• eiamation: Jake Hayter, announ- ced that. .another three years contract at the land fill dump had. recently been -signed, He also told the meeting. that the Sauble Conservation Authority c & S r and land to use as a nursery, Wayne Horner, also ac- claimed to the office of eoun. chlor,, said that many times the township council is criticized justifiably, but many times their hands are tied by Toronto. "I hear'- this before I was elected to my first term," he explained, "But you don't know how true it it until you sit on council:" ' • Councillor Garnet Wright, also returned by acclamation, ,said , he had learned a lot on council during the past two years and hoped thdt he could do more work for the township in the next term. 7 Ib.
