Students help shelter A class of Georgian Col- lege nightschool students has raised over $2,500 for the Rosewood Shelter in Midland. But above that, says a spokesperson for the shelter, they have educated the public about the need for the shelter. Ira Kellermann, ex- ecutive director of the crisis shelter for abused women and children, said the money will help pay for a fire escape on the unus- ed third floor of the shelter. 'The educational benefits always outweigh the financial part of it," she said. 'It helps -- but the main thing is public educa- tion." The shelter has a third floor built already but it needs about $66,000 to finish it off. The money, $2,671 to be exact, will go towards '"'buying a few rungs on the fire escape." Rosalie Pratt, the student spokesperson for the small- business marketing class, said the whole class felt helping the shelter was a good way to put their ac- quired skills to work. Bill 30 'minimal' The effect of the provin- cial government giving through Bill 30 full funding to the province's Roman Catholic separate high schools has been "very minimal" in Simcoe Coun- ty, the county's public school board of education director said recently. Four separate school board high schools have been built in Simcoe Coun- ty since Bill 30. The separate school board high school in Collingwood has fewer than 100 students. The government will receive a recommendation that it close. The public school board is being ask- ed to share space with separate school board new high schools in Orillia, Bradford and Tottenham, Boswell said. "T don't see very much change in the situation in the next 10 years." The debate on the shar- ing of school space will be interesting, the director predicted. Temporary help Ainley and Associates has been retained to help Midland's clerk, treasurer and public works manager, until a new director of planning is hired. Bryan MackKell, director of planning for more than seven years, ends his employment with the municipality this coming Friday. He has taken a job locally in the private sector. Planning and develop- ment committee chairman Councillor Gail Barrie said, in connection with the council approval of calling on the planning con- sultants as needed, "We'd just like everyone to know that it's business as usual." Construction in the town is at a greater level than it has been for years. The money was raised in seven weeks by sending letters to 250 local businesses, said Pratt. And she added that the money is still trickling in. "Overall I think it was very successful, consider- ing the time limit we were working in - and with no Volunteers honoured Last Thursday, Georgian Manor held a wine and cheese for their 50 volunteers presently enroll- ed in their volunteer pro- gram. April has been serv- ed by their volunteers a total of 311 recorded hours. Sharon Thompson has given the highest number of hours this month, 32. Certificates of recogni- tion and pins were presented by two of the Manor residents Sadie Simpson and Lillian Beck to 25 of our 50 volunteers. These volunteers are presently committing their time to specific assigned programs on a monthly basis throughout the year. The 25 members given pins and certificates were: Mavis Audern, Jeannie Bryce, Marie Dubeau, Fern Dorion, Denise Gilligan, Marion Hyde, Myrtle Hamelin, Chris King, Vi- vian Lalonde, Bev Long, June Marion, Doris McAr- thur, Joan Nesbitt, Muriel Novel, Norma Roberts, Lloyd Roberts, Lila Ryles, Joanna Stocker, Anne Strapko, Sharon Thomp- son, Ledi Vickers, Blanche Whittington and Anne Yurkiewicz. Auxiliary pins were presented to our Georgian Manor auxiliary members who attended: Bev Long, president, Anne Yurkiewicz, Florence funds," she said. Kellermann agreed, say- ing, 'We really were win- ners in terms of being able to help the public." at Manor Willman, Ann Strepko, Blanche Whittington, Nor- ma Roberts and Georgette Pauze. Georgian Manor resident volunteers were also presented with Volunteer pins for aiding in transpor- ting residents to and from activities: Pearl Richard- son, Marie Tessier, Vina Arbour, Mark Parent, Liza Picotte, Leo Columbus, Vi- vian Morris, Philip Mailloux, Lillian Beck, Ed Desjardins.
