Separate school board
veto meeting change
(by Wilma Oke)
The Huron -Perth County
Roman Catholic Separate
School Board Monday turned
down a proposal by a vote of
11-2 to hold school board meet-
ings in the 19 schools in the
two counties on a rotating basis.
Michael Connolly, R,R.3,
Kippe..t, chairman of the board,
in his inaugural address said one
of the priorities for the year
was in the area of communicat-
ion between board, teachers
and parents and spoke of the
importance of keeping channels
of communication open.
Following his address Howard
Shantz, of Stratford suggested
one way of keeping communi--
ation channels open between
the board and the parents would
be for the second board meeting
each month to be held in one
of the 19 schools in the two
counties until all the schools
were covered.
When the proposal was
brought up again at the meet-
ing Mondayit was suggested it
would be inconvenient for the
administrative staff to have all
the additional information nec-
essary for the meetings avail-
able at the school where the
meeting would be held,
(often during meetings it is
necessary for a member of staff
to go to the files for material
to provide information for a
trustee during a discussion.
The cost factor was consider-
ed --the increased mileage costs
would be considerable for the
trustees to travel to one end
of the two counties rather than
for them to meet at a central
point, as the board office in
Seaforth is.
Michael Connolly said that
if any delegation wished to
attend a particular meeting he
would be happy to accommodate
it.
The general consensus seem-
ed to be that as no requests
for meetings to be held in any
particular area had been receiv-
ed it was decided that the meet-
ings continue in the board room
with Howard Shantz and David
Teahen opposed.
Joseph Looby, of Dublin
emphasized to the press that
anyone is welcome to attend
a regular board meeting, but
added they would not be able
to attend a committee -of -the -
whole meeting.
The property and mainten-
ance committee was voted
$5, 000 additional to the $19,
000 already granted that com-
mittee, so that the necessary
maintenance work such as re-
pairing and painting .can be
completed.
Jack Lane, Business Admin-
istrator, was authorized to
attend a conference in Toronto
May 26, 27 and 28, to be held
by the Ontario Association of
School Business officials.
The Muskoka Board of Educa-
tion forwarded a resolution that
legislation be amended to prov-
ide that school buses be requir-
ed to operate their flashing sign-
als when loading or unloading

Bayfield council
(by Milvena Erickson)
Seven summer cottage owners
addressed the regular Bayfield
Council meeting Wednesday
evening, and questioned the
proposed Yacht Club develop-
ment on the south side of the
Bayfield River. As many answ-
ers as possible were given by
the reeve, but since approval
has not been received for some
of the work, all questions could
not be answered.
Concern was also expressed
over the congested parking in
the area and council promised
to look into it and sign one side
(preferably the south side) of
the road as a "No Parking"
area.
It was also noted that a public
meeting would, be held as soon
as possible to answer any quest-
ions the public may have reg-
arding the development.
A letter was received from
the County Clerk stating every
municipality must inform the
Huron County Planning Board
of any,pits or quarries in their
area. Correspondence from the
Ministry of Transportation was
received regarding their policy
on used oil as dust deterent,
with the statement that the
Ministry does not encourage
this practice. There is also a
change in their policy on road
surface treatment.
A letter was read from the
Ministry of treasury and Econ-
omics pertaining to the EMO
program and municipal licens-
ing of lotteries, and from the
Ministry of Health on regulat-
ions on swimming pools.
An invitation to members
of Huron County Council and
omplain
clerks of each municipality was
received from Ontario Hydro,
to tour the Hydro plant at Pick-
ering on Wednesday, June 5.

office on Wednesday, May 22,
