Seaforth Coma.auoty ospftale coop Eight honored at Excellence in Education banquet Eight Seafforth area residents - including five students from the Seaforth District High School, two teachers there, and one member of the general public - were honored last week at the annual Ex- cellence in Education banquet. Sponsored jointly by the Ontario Secon- dary School Teachers Federation and the Huron County Board of Education, this event serves to pay tribute to the "many excellent individuals in the Huron County education system who have made con- tributions in their school and community towards education". Students are honored for their scholastic, athletic and extra- curricular involvement. REAMER BAAN Grade 12 student Heather Baan was characterized as displaying many of the qualities typified by the word "ex- cellence". She has been an honor student since starting secondary school, and has often achieved the top mark in her course. She is described as an attentive, con- siderate, and responsible student, whose meticulous and conscientious work habits are the qualities so often sought, but rarely found, by today's employers. One teacher has commented that "it would be a pleasure to teach a class of 25 like Heather". LORI BRUXER Lori Bruxer•is described as a dynamic student who makes outstanding contribu- tions to 'the Seaforth District High School's athletic and academic programs. This year Lori played on the senior girls' basketball, volleyball and soccer teams. As well; she is a member of the School Reach team and gives guitar lessons. But perhaps her greatest contribution is her responsible handling of the position of treasurer of the school's Athletic Associa- tion. Lori is a "very pleasant student who displays the fine blend of athletics, academics, responsibility and participa- tion which is recognized by these awards". ROB CHARTERS Rob Charters has contributed very quietly during his five years at the Seaforth District High School. ' His major contribution has been as Treasurer of the 1988-89 Students' Council, since this is an arduous and often thankless job. During the past'two years, Rob has been a leading force in the success of the school's student newspaper. He has also contributed to, the drama club by designing a major produc- . tion program. CONNIE MCCLURE Connie McClure is.a Grade 12 student at SDHS, and is currently social convenor for Students' Council activities. She has work- ed extremely hard to get the students in- volved -in school life, including taking on the thankless task of fundraising. In- itiating school "spirit" activities keeps Connie, very .busy, but it is said that her "effervescent personality is infectious." Connie is. constantly trying to make SDHS a happy place to be. CRYSTAL WHYTE .Crystal Whyte has been "Miss Everything" during her high school career. She has competed on 'at least 13 school teams and has certainly been a driving force on each one. Sheis a foun- ding member of SDHS's "Students Against Impaired Driving" chapter and has been .actively involved in the running of the Athletic Association. Itis said that "one never sees Crystal in the 'hall when she NOW OPEN Gb SEE OUR GREAT SELECTION OF: •Seeds •Bedding Plants: Vegetables : Flowers •Herbs •Hanging Plants • Strawberries • Rhubarb * Perennials •Patio Pots Evergreens • Flowering Shrubs •Rose Bushes • Peat Moss •Marble Chips 'Bark Nuggets •Top Soil •Potting Soli •Sh'eep and Cattle Manure •Gardening Utensils 'Lawn Mowers • Rototillers •Patio Stones • Vermiculite • Lawn and Garden Sprays /l MANY IN-STORE SPECIALS TILL.

TEACHERS LINDA DOIG Linda Doig has been a teacher at the Seaforth District High School for six years. Over that time she has proven to be a vital member of, and active contributor to the school. She is an enthusiastic participant in all school and staff extra -curricular ac- tivities, and in her role as guidance counsellor, she is most helpful to both students and staff - particularly concern- ing the Co-operative Education program. Mrs. Doig is very active in school ac- tivities through her capacity as coach of basketball, volleyball and track and field teams. She regularly plans cross-country skiing and orienteering field trips and often serves as chaperone on other school - related trips. JANICE ROSE Janice Rose is a graduate of SDHS who has returned as a teacher of English and French, and for those teachers who ap- preciated her excellence as a student, it is rewarding to see her expertise as a teacher. Miss Rose's activities however, • range well beyond the classroom. She is the coach of the girls' soccer team, direc- tor of the drama club, and advisor for the school's Reach for the Top team and Debating Club. Miss Rose chairs the county's Professional Development com- mittee and SDHS's in -school general level "Teaching to Pass" committee and is also a member of the District Council and the SIP committee. A resident of Clinton, Miss Rose is a member of the Clinton Communi- ty Players and is vice -chair of the Clinton Arts committee. COMMUNITY FRAN HOOK Fran Hook is the Administrator of Maplewood Manor - a new full-service retirement home in Seaforth. She is active- ly involved in sorority work and with the Van Egmond Foundation - a group which supported the renovations to and now maintains one of the area's finest historic sites - the Van Egmond House. In her capacity of Administrator at Maplewood Manor Mrs. Hook has ensured that students are always welcome there. Fami- ly Studies classes have visited to play euchre, bingo or just to chat with residents, in order to increase youth awareness and understanding of our seniors. Several Co-operative Education students from Seaforth and Clinton have been encouraged by Mrs. Hook and have gained valuable work experience in nurs- ing, food services and building maintenance. Her patience and understan- ding with some of SDHS's exceptional stu- dent with learning probelms,-has also been most welcome. TRUSTEE RESIGNS - Sally Rathwell, Huron County Board of Education trustee for Tuckersmith and Hensall, resigned at Monday's Board Meeting to pursue a career as a secretary with the Board.

She is seen here receiving a parting gift from Chairman John Jewitt. A new trustee must now be elected to represent Tuckersmith and Hensall. Corbett photo. Tuckersmith trustee resigns position A position came open with the Huron County Board of Education after the resignation of trustee Sally Rathwell at the Board's May meeting. Mrs. Rathwell, trustee for the Township of Tuckersmith and the Village of Hensall, resigned in order to take employment with the board in the capacity of secretary at Vanastra Public School. After accepting the resignation the board faced a decision of either filling the position by appointment or calling for an election in Tuckersmith and Hensall. Trustee Tony Mc - Quail made a motion that the board call an election, on the grounds that there are two and a half years left in the current term of office. "It would seem appropriate to me to let the ratepayers decide rather than have the board appoint someone this early in the term," he said. It was noted that Mrs. Rathwell won her position by acclamation this term, and there were no obvious appointees. The motion to hold an election for the posi- tion was passed. Trustee Norman Pickell said he has welcomed Mrs. Rathwell's council, and noted "I'm going to miss Sally very much as I'm sure all of us as trustees are going to." Mrs. Rathwell says she is sorry to be leav- ing the board, but policy states that no board employee may hold a position as a trustee. Mrs. Rathwell was into her fourth year with the Board, having served three years. as trustee for Clinton and Tuckersmith. Last September she applied for the secretary position at Vanastra public school, but wasn't successful. Recently the position came up again, she came out ahead of 140 other applicants, and can start after resigning." "I enjoy being part of education, and I can use my interest in education as a secretary," said Mrs. Rathwell. Six municipalities receive grants The Honorable Jack Riddell, MPP for Huron recently announced a total of $873,000 has been awarded to six municipalities in Huron under the Program for Renewal, Im- provement, Development and Economic revitalization (PRIDE). The following will receive these monies for local improvements: Zurich — $170,000 to repair drains and sidewalks and to renovate community centre; Tuckersmith Township — $200,000 to improve municipal services at the Vanastra Park recreation centre; Morris Township — $38,000 to im- prove roads and sidewalks, and for the Belgrave community hall; Hullett Township — $75,000 to improve roads and sidewalks in Auburn; Town of Goderich — $250,000 to develop St. Christopher Cove waterfront and to construct roads in adjacent neighbourhood; Town of Exeter — $140,000 to improve roads and sidewalks, wheelchair access, and recreational facilities. Making the announcement on behalf of Municipal Affairs Minister John Eakins, Mr. Riddell said the:PRIDE grants, which are being awarded to more than 80 municipalities across Ontario, have increas• ed'fromt$14.8 million last year to more than $18 million this year. "These grants help municipalities im- prove older sections of their municipality, including residential, commercial, water- front, industrial and mixed-use areas," said Mr. Eakins. "PRIDE grants also help municipalities create jobs, strengthen municipal tax bases and foster an environment for investment". The grant is based on a municipal/provin- cial partnership where the costs are equally shared. It covers 50 percent of improvement and land acquisition costs for projects which take into consideration the overall needs of a specific area. Projects eligible for PRIDE funding include: o building, improving or replacing social and recreational facilities, municipal ser- vices, utilities and parking facilities; aesthetic improvements such as streetscape upgrading and landscaping; e acquisition and clearance of land and bulldings; and • relocation costs. "The PRIDE program is yet another reaf- firmation of the government's commitment to revitalize Ontario's communities," said Mr. ialttns. —71
