The general public would answer one type of questionnaire, while trustees would answer St. Amant campaign cont'd from p.1 A show of hands in- dicated that nearly everyone at the meeting would support such a project, and one member of the audience said he could line up two bands who would play for free for any fund raising function for the arena. A target date of August 27 was established for the draw-dance. It was not until close to the end of the meeting that St. Amant was asked if she would head up the another, and students would be asked to fill out still another. Experimental project The evaluation being conducted here is, in effect, an experimental one, according to Harris, | because, although SCESS named chairman steering committee for the campaign. "Common sense tells me I shouldn't head up two campaigns in three years," she said, "But I like the turnout."' She said she would take the job if Stewart, who is responsible for the arena within the Arena, Parks and Recreation Board, would be a co-chairman. He agreed, and she ac- cepted the post. She asked for people to volunteer to serve on the steering committee, and got nine names almost immediately. projects have been un- dertaken by other school boards in the province, this will be the first time one has ever been used in a bilingual, bicultural locality. He said the study is being undertaken because the members of the board are "very anxious to make the right decisions, but they don't feel they have all the facts." After the internal and external evaluation teams have finished their work, they will get together to write a cooperative report, which, according to Harris, will provide the board with the facts so it can make the proper decisions. Although the study will probably be completed by June of next year, Harris said the board might not make decisions based on it for two years. He pointed out that some changes, though, might take place even before the report is finished. He said any changes which are in the jurisdiction of the principal could take place if the principal deems them necessary, and trustee Alvin Gravelle, present at the press conference, said the board would not just forget about Penetanguishene until after the report comes out. The day to day business of running the schools will continue, he said, and decisions will have to be made, as they have been in the past. Harris also added that teachers, principals and trustees will be forced to examine their attitudes and beliefs when they answer the question- naires, and they may change themselves spontaneously and without direction from the board, as they go through this process' of self-evaluation. Gravelle said, however, that the board was unlikely to make any major decisions regar- ding the Penetanguishene family of schools until after the report is com- pleted. Harris assured those present that the team would operate in the open, and he said the public should be kept fully in- formed about the progress of the study at all times. To that end, he said, news releases would be issued regularly a ee ee ee Questionnaires will be sent out to area residents outlining what progress had been made, and advising the public of any upcoming meetings. The releases, he said, will be issued in both English and French. County looking for more Wintario funding by Wilma Pavlik Simcoe County is looking to Grey and Bruce regions for support in their bid to have this area included in the territories eligible for a larger percentage of Wintario funding. The Southern Ontario Region including Simcoe is currently eligible for Wintario grants with Wintario matching dollar for dollar the money raised by the private sector. The total grant is not to exceed one-third of the cost of the capital project. However, the Eastern and Northern sectors (including such centres as Peterborough, Kingston, Ottawa, etc.) qualify for a different formula. Wintario provides up to one-half of the total cost of a project and furthermore, provides $2.00 for every $1.00 raised locally. The provincial government's reasoning is the higher cost of construction in what they term "these more isolated communities" County councillors think Simcoe County should also be included They plan to submit a resolution to the govern- ment "as a form of protest, with a_ strong recommendation that the present boundaries be expanded to include this county." Copies of this resolution are being sent to Grey and Bruce counties asking for their endorsement George cre TC Painting and Decorating BELLISLE Complete decorating service INTERIOR © EXTERIOR 926-7371 628 Norman Cres., Midland HERB Plumbing and Sheet Metal work LIMITED 526-5204 181 Charles St., Midland ¥ CONGRATULATIONS #& The contractors listed below wish to congratulate John & Rose Lee on the re-opening of their newly renovated Midland Grill at 215 King St., Midland Town Centre.
