Oil The Hatton Was OB Sport ActonMorth Sports Eight North public schools will now be available to community to rent for wet functions Thursday night Halton Board of Educa tion approved criteria for the rental of school facilities for functions where liquor permits will be sought The designed schools in Halton Hills are Georgetown High School Acton High School School School and School Milton High School Brookvllle School and Kilbride School are also designated A number of trustees opposed the measure because alcohol has no place In the schools and the board wouldnt be setting a good example to children Trustee Anne Fairfield said licencing of functions in schools is a pilot project and will be monitored closely She noted groups wanting to raise money for schools are finding their profits reduced because they have to rent other facilities so they can serve liquor at the event She noted func tions where liquor is served ore allowed at Separate School Board facilities The board Isnt trying to compete with private enterprise either she added The board was stepping out of line In letting people get liquor permits for func tions In the schools Trustee Jim observed That was Trustee Ivan Armstrongs at tltude In the past the Milton representative said but once the board allowed a function with liquor for one school last year the door was open far other requests He said the board criteria offers a fair amount of control There are already enough places where liquor is sold Trustee Bill said That may be the case in south Trustee Dick countered but it Isnt in North and thats why there are more designated schools In the north Howitt said he had also been opposed at one point We arent doing this lightly and without trepida tion However he felt there were sufficient controls so he would support the pilot program He warned he expects the new policy to be dropped if the program docsnt work out Trustee Bruce was worried about wedding plans etc being ruined when the board could cancel a function without notice However Fairfield said this clause in rental agreements was necessary to protect the board in the event of a problem such as a furnace breakdown Student alcohol abuse is a big problem Trustee Crozier observed alcohol was a factor In a couple of tragic accidents recently involving school children He said alcohol shouldnt be allowed in schools Elaine thought the agreement was fine but she also favored keeping alcohol out of schools To drink At a cost of Canada Is spon soring a program to desalinate ground water for more than 1000 desert dwellers in the
