HCBE takes step towards redistribution
An ad hoc committee has approved a
new formula for public school trustee
redistribution in Huron County.
The new formula, recommended by the
Huron County Board of Education at a
special meeting August 2, will see the
boundaries of all but four of the present
school board electoral districts, changed
at the municipal elections in November.
The redistribution will result in the addi-
tion of two new trustees to the board, br-
inging the total membership to 16.
A committee consisting of the municipal
clerks of Goderich, Exeter and the
Township of Stephen - representing the
three regions in the county with the largest
representation of public school supporters
- met in Clinton two weeks ago with Huron
County Clerk -Administrator Bill Hanly
and Bob Allen, HCBE director of
education.
The new electoral boundaries are the
result of Bill 125, which received royal as-
sent in June, providing for school trustees
across the province to be distributed ac-
cording to support population rather than
on the basis of total property tax assess-
ment - the practice in the past.
The addition of two trustees to the HCBE
is the result of a June board decision which
came on the heels of an amendment to Bill
125 secured by an Ontario Public School
Trustees' Association lobby group - per-
mitting boards to increase or decrease
their total board size by one or two
trustees.
The loss of two of its members in 1987, as
a result of full funding for separate schools
in Ontario, rankled the HCBE which lost
no time in moving to bring its total up to 16
members again.
Chairman John Jewitt says the HCBE
has found the work load - especially on the
committees - has been too heavy with only
14 members and thinks 16 trustees will
mean a much fairer distribution of the
load.
The new electoral boundaries for Huron,
expected to be approved by the County of
Huron, the Ontario Municipal Board
(OMB), and the ministry of education, will
see the present school board divisions of
Brussels and Grey Township, Stephen
Township, Goderich and Colborne
Townships, and Bayfield and Stanley
Township remain unchanged.
However, the present division of
Seaforth and Hallett and McKillop
Township, currently represented by Mr.
Jewitt and Graeme Craig, will be
reorganized as two divisions - Blyth and
Hullett Township, and Seaforth and
Local residents report
Local residents were among the dozens
of people across Huron and Perth counties
who thought they'd had a close encounter
early Sunday. But what was thought was a
UFO blazing a spectacular light show
across the northern sky, was only Soviet
space trash.
In St. Columban, Sherri Cronin was still
in awe Sunday afternoon about an object
she saw at 1 a.m. above a neighboring cor-
nfield. It was a huge, elongated object with
flashing colored lights and a fiery tail.
"It was," said Ms. Cronin,"a flying
saucer. It was humongous. I'm a believer.
When it came toward us, I ran. I was
scared."
Her visiting cousin Ron Cronin, an in-
spectorin the Detroit Police Department's
narcotics bureau, was equally shaken.
"Awe is the only thing I can think of. It
was kind of hovering there. This thing was
completely round, about the size of four
747s. It wasn't something I've ever seen
before. It was some sort of a spaceship, no
doubt about it. I'm a skeptic, but after last
night (Saturday), I'm a believer."
It was indeed a spaceship, but it was one
made by earthlings. According to Lieute-
nant Jean Morissette of the department of
national defence in Ottawa, it was a Rus-
sian rocket body used to launch a satellite
August 18.
The rocket casing was tracked by
McKillop Township,
At present John Elliott represents Blyth
as well as the Townships,of Morris and
East Wawanosh. Under the new system,
East "and West Wawanosh and Ashfield
Townships will form one division, while
Morris and Turnberry Townships will be
grouped together.
Also under the new system, the Town of
Goderich will be able to elect two public
school trustees, while Wingham, Clinton
and Exeter will each elect one, and the
county's fifth town, Seaforth, shares its
trustee with McKillop Township. The
distribution of trustees and of electoral
boundaries has been worked out in a com-
plicated formula which delivers an "elec-
toral quotient" factor - where a factor of
1.00 guarantees the apportionment of one
trustee "as nearly as practicable". Hence,
Goderich, with an electoral quotient of
2.09, will get two trustees.
One aspect of the redistribution system
is the possibility that some of the present
trustees could, if they decided to stand for
re-election in November - be forced to run
against each other because of their home
addresses and the changed boundaries.
An appeal procedure is in p': ce for any
objections which may arise under the new
system, but appeals must be in by August
25, in order to be considered by the OMB.
UFO sighting
NORAD radar and burned on re-entry into
the Earth's atmosphere. According to
Lieutenant Morissette, there is no danger
of radiation.
Loretta Dolmage was driving home to
the family farm near Seaforth with hus-
band Neil and son Paul, when they saw the
bright object flying across the night sky.
"It was awfully bright. It had a large tail
section. My husband kept saying 'What is
it? What is it? It was scary at first. I don't
believe in UFOs, but after last night I
wonder."
E leter OPP Constable Jim Rogers
feared he was watching an aircraft about
to crash but soon realized it was too big.
"It was to the north at about a 45 -degree
angle. It had flame to the rear. I saw lights
off of it a bit. It just seemed to disappear.
John Landstreet, an astronomy pro-
fessor at the University of Western On-
tario, said Sunday the Soviet rocket casing
would have become visible at a height of
about 100 kilometres as it started to burn
and could have been seen simultaneously
over a distance of 300 kilometres by
witnesses on the ground.
"It would have put on a falr old show,"
he said. The lights surrounding it or off to
one side, would have been bits and pieces
burning up as the rocket broke apart on re-
entry.
Professor Landstreet further noted the
rocket would have been a zooming fireball
for some, because of their angle of vision.
For the Cronins, "if it was coming
straight toward them, it would appear to
hover. They wouldn't see it skittering
across the sky" and the brightness would
block out background stars against which
movement' would otherwise be evident.
Encountering something so unexpected
in the middle of the night can certainly
leave people uncertain as to what they've
seen, added Professor Landstreet.
Ms. Cronin disputes the theory of
Canada's national department of defence
and NORAD that the object she sighted was
just a Russian rocket used to launch a
satellite.
She says she knows what she saw, and
what she saw "wasn't a rocket".
"A rocket doesn't go around in a circle
with light's flashing. And it wasn't a flash of
light. We watched it for a full 10 minutes".
Ms. Cronin said she and other witnesses
have been made to look like fools by reports
from defence officials.
Mrs. Dolmage, however, is comfortable
with the NORAD and defence department
reports on what the object was.
It looked fairly close, and I was sure it
was going to come down right on our farm,"
she said.
"I feel a little more comfortable now that
I know what it was."
