This newspaper has learned from a reliable source with the Simcoe County Board of Education that Le Caron School in Lafontaine has no money for its operating budget. The source said the school's operating budget has been frozen for about five weeks. This information was confirmed yesterday in a telephone conversation with Mr. Ansley, an official for the Simcoe County Board of Education. Although he disagreed with the use of the term 'frozen', Ansley did concede that the school had loverspent its operating budget and at this time there would be no further monies forthcoming from the board. According to the source the Le Caron school in effect has two budgets; one an operational budget for buying supplies and a capital expenditure budget which is available once the school aequires a building site and a building permit. As yet, the site and permit for the proposed new high school have not been approved and therefore, those monies are not yet available. When contacted yesterday, the principal of Le Caron, Adrien Lamoureux declined comment on the matter. When attempts were made to contact the Ministry of Education, there were no official available for comment. : It is unclear at this time what significance the lack of operating capital will have in the immediate future for Le Caron school, but Mr. Ansley did say there was no danger of the school being forced to close. However, there is little question that the stop in the flow of operating capital to Le Caron raises serious problems for the school's smooth operation. what implications Tay's new bylaw might have for development in that locale. As an example, Hodgins pointed to a hypothetical erection of manv contaminent oriented or related developments. The threat to the lake and thes 2. ovalie of Penetanguishene's property in the area would be substantial. Bylaw For these reasons, planning board wanted to discuss the significance of the new bylaw. In addition, the deadline for objections to the bylaw is Dec. 3, 1980. so time for con- sideration is at somewhat of a premium. Hodgins said yesterday that the word "objections" is too strong to describe Penetanguishene Planning Board's concerns but indicated there were some areas on which the local board - needs some clarification. Hodgins said, in a spirit of co-operation, he had been asked to arrange a meeting with Tay planning reps to discuss the new bylaw and its implications for Penetanguishene. 4 Beaten to the rescue An automobile on fire led to some ex- citement in Penetanguishene about 4:45 p.m. Monday.
