Island elders receive grant Christian Island elders are _ being assisted in the preservation of their cultural traditions and passing them to young people in the island reserve's population through a grant recently approved by the federal Department of Health and Welfare's New Horizons branch. New Horizons, a social services branch of the department, approved a $5,535 grant to assist island elders in purchasing crafts materials, establish a meeting centre where craft work and social activities can be carried out, and establish a program to develop crafts skills in youngsters. It will benefit about 50 island elders. The grant money will be administered by Huronia Elders President Harriet King, treasurer Leonard Monague, and secretary Cliff Peters. All are elders on the reserve. Harriet King said Monday that she ex- pects to be in touch with the band chief later this week about how to pul the New Horizons grant to best use. Field representative Helen Johnstone, who works out of New Horizons' Owen Sound office, assisted the elders in getting the grant. The grant is designed to help retired persons in communities across the country to carry on social ac- tivities after retirement. Part of the Christian Island grant money will assist in maintaining folklore traditions. Harriet King said on Monday that one of the elders' first priorities will be to find a place where they can gather. Last fall, the Chrsitian Island reserve lost its central administration building in a fire. Records and offices were wiped oul in the blaze.

Penetanguishene Police Chiet New life for Vera Tugwell in Kitchener area A Kitchener area advertising firm has hired Vera Tugwell to work in its art depart- ment. Yesterday the 29- year-old resident of RR 1, Penetanguishene headed to southern Ontario by bus to start a new life: Back at the Tugwell family's Tay Township home, just outside of Penetang, Mrs. Vera Tugwell said yesterday that the family expects to hear how the younger Vera is doing in about a week, after she is set- tled.

No one has been found to organize snowmobile races, and arts and crafts will be on display at the mall on Poyntz Street in Penetang, not Mountainview Mall. Incidentally, Wint- erama organizers are not Opposed to snowmobile races. They can still be held if someone is willing to organize them. Also, the last Win- lerama eae meeting had to Separate board' SECONDARY' a HOOL) EXTENSION The Simcoe County Roman Catholic Separate School Board unveiled its plan for extension of its school system at the Jan. 2, 1985 meeting of the board. The board will begin immediately to develop Roman Catholic secondary school . education available to all students in _ its jurisdiction. The plan calls for development in three ways. The board will con- tinue its partnership with private boards in the operation of St. Joseph's in. Barrie and St. Theresa's in Midland. The board will progressively assume responsibility for the senior grades over the next three years. Necessary programme development and space expansion will occur as required. On a second front, the board will proceed to open four schools as of September, 1985. Grade 9 classes will be started in Orillia, Collingwood, Southwest Simcoe, and 'Bradford. Con- sideration will be given to Grade 10 and 11 in southwest Simcoe as well. The board currently purchases education in Newmarket for students from South Simcoe. Further discussion will be taking place with York Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board. The board's plan also addresses the matter of French' language secondary education. It presumes that French language secondary schools such as Le Fewer for SCBE Cearereo7 2 Penetanguishene will transfer en bloc to Roman Catholic separate school boards. The boardis, as a result, not proceeding with a new secondary school there but is indicating its willingness to co- operate with any transfer which might be arranged at an ap- porpriate future time. The plan recognizes that growth in secon- dary schools on the part of the separate school board will reduce the number of students entering secondary schools operated by the Simcoe County Board of Education. It notes that this is not a full swoop change but, in fact, will occur "over a_ period from 1985 through to 1993. At that point, based on 100 percent retention of students from Grade 8 to Grade 9 and beyond, separate secondary schools would have approximately 3,500 students. As a result, provision is made for employment of staff from the current roster of The Simcoe County Board of Education. The separate school board will be. ad- vertising positions for principals, teachers, secretaries, and custodians only within the normal circulation channels of the two boards. It points out that if is a growing board on the elementary level as well and is. cancelled because of Monday night's blizzard conditions. We had reported that the meeting would be held last night. The next meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday night and subsequent meetings will be held Monday nights. The meetings are open to all and are held at the municipal building on Robert Street West.

The one exception is that the board reserves the right to exercise its long standing policy of attempting to add members of religious orders to its staff. The result will be a volun- tary approach to staff transfer. It naturally expects that Roman Catholic teachers would' be transferring in the first place but also notes that the board will be fair in its approach to people whose livelihood could be in jeopardy because of the change. Provision is made for a long-term joint ad- ministrative committee to oversee the staffing scene. The board has set the following target dates for introduction of its four new schools. Principals will be ap- pointed by Jan. 31. Course offerings and option selection on the part of students will be accomplished by Feb. 28. Accommodation for the new schools will be addressed by March 31. The board will develop for September, 1985, industrial arts and family studies com- ponents for St. Theresa's School. A resource person will be employed to_ study approaches to technical education, linkage programmes, and co- operative programmes. The resource person will work closely with the board's computer resource person with a view to developing programme approaches suited to high technology times. In other business at its Jan, 2, meeting, the Simeoe County Roman Catholic Separate School Board appointed Geoffrey Bond as _ its representative on the Barrie Public Library Board for a two year term; heard _ that roofing of the new St. Joseph's School in Barrie is underway; heard that sketch plan approval has_ been received from the Ministry of Education for the addition to St. Mary's School in Collingwood. (The architect has been in- structed to proceed with the detailed plans preparatory to ten- dering the project); referred affirmative action initiatives of the Ministry of Education to its policy committee for consideration. .
