The Goderich Signal-Star, 1982-10-27, Page 7at payee attend Township meeting Approximately 25 people attended the Astlfield Ratepayers' meeting on Wednesday, October 20 to hear the present council de- fend its record and to meet the candidates in this year's municipal election. Reeve Warren Zinn, who is retiring, will be replaced by the former deputy -reeve John Austin who was ac- claimed to the position. Allan Gibson will run for deputy -reeve following a 10 - year stint on council. He will be challenged by Clete Dalton who is presently the president of the township's federation of agriculture. Dalton did not attend the meeting. Gibson said he felt that after 10 years on council, "it was time to move someplace". He said he had just completed a term as chairman of the Lucknow and District Fire Board. Grant Farrish and Grant Curran are incumbent members of the council who will seek another term. Bill Andrew and Elmer Draper are also running for the three seats on the council. Marian Zinn has decided to step down from her posi- tion as trustee on the Huron County Board of Education representing Ashfield and West Wawanosh Townships. Three people are 'seeking the position of trustee. Patricia Haskell of Ashfield said she is the mother of two teenage children, one of whom is attending the special education program in the county. Mrs. Haskell sits on the board's advisory committee for Bill 82, the province's controversial special education legisla- tion. Mai'y'belle Cranston of West Wawanosh Township has served on township coun- cil for eight years and is a ute-tong resident of me township. Mrs. Cranston said she declined to sit on the Cream Producers Associa- tion because she wants to keep her free time available to serve on the school board. Tony McQuail of West Wawanosh is currently president of the Huron Coun- ty Federation of Agriculture. A farmer with a young fami- ly, McQuail said. he is con- cerned about the future of the school system and the quality of education it pro- vides. He said the education system must help our children to develop skills and abilities to be good workers and citizens: He went on to comment that as a ratepayer he is con- cerned that the cost of education cannot escalate unchecked. "The Board of Education has an important respon- sibility to see that quality education is provided at an affordable price." Education costs make up hall the municipal tax load, said McQuail. The Huron County Board will have to show leadership to keep costs in line. Eugene Frayne, presently vice-chairman of the Huron County Board of Education, has been reappointed to fill the position as represen- tative of the separate ratepayers whose children attend the county's high schools. Frayne said the effects of the province's Bill 82 on the school system will be "phenomenal". Teachers are apprehensive and ner- vous about situations with physically handicapped children in the classroom, he noted. Frayne also said the changes in the school system . .are rapid.

The future of education is going to be more challenging than ever in the past. Frayne said the decisions the board must make in the next three- year term will not be popular. Education will not get cheaper as enrollment declines, he added. The board will be making decisions to cut courses, close schools and lay off peo- ple. Things are not going to improve to where things will be nice and there won't be tough decisions, he said. Frayne has acted as chair- man of the evaluation com- mittee studying the technical program in the county's high schools his recent term on the He said the equipr{i ed in the tech programs in the high schools in the coun- ty is outdated and unrelated to the job market. He said the committee surveyed what can be done to provide basic knowledge of skills that students will re- quire for the job market. The biggest misunderstanding concern- ing the tech programs is that employers think the graduate should know the skills when they finish high school. All these children know is that they have the skills to learn, said Frayne. It is not the job of the school board to train an auto mechanic, he explained. It is only the board's job to give the stu- dent a taste of the type of work an auto mechanic does to enable the student to decide if that is what -he wants as his life's work. High school students must go on to community colleges, occupational schools or ap- prenticeships before they. are trained to do the job. luring Board. nt us- GODERICH SIGNAL,STAR, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER Z/, l982—PAGE 7 Final dress rehearsal for tie two -act comedy Cactus Flower was held Sunday night by Goderich Little Theatre.
