The 250 or so people who attend- ed the Latcham Centre meeting, hosted by the Senior Citizens' Club, virtually ignored trustee candidates Bobbie Drew, Joyce Kelly, John O'Toole, Debbie Tredway and in- cumbent Stuart McEntyre. Only one question was posed to the trustee candidates during the ques- tion period at the end of the meeting, directed by a woman concerned about the number of accidental teenaged deaths which have occur- red in the past few months. Each of the candidates pledged to look into the problem of drinking and driving but most admitted there isn't a lot schools can do about it. Chairman Paul Arculus, a teacher at Port Perry High School, told the audience about Students Against Drunk Driving (SAD) and how the student council at PPHS is attemp- ting to bring the program to this area. Candidate Bobbie Drew praised the program but said, "It doesn't seem to have much effect except temporarily. I don't know what to do about this except keep at it." Joyce Kelly echoed Mrs. Drew's sentiments saying, "If we knew how to stop these tragedies we'd do it but we don't. But we surely are going to try." Reverend Stuart McEntyre said the solution to the problem will lie in 'sound education beginning in the home and school" and added, "For my money I'd like to see liquor advertising banned completely." John O'Toole commented on the good program like SAD can do while Debbie Tredway said, *'It is a very serious problem. I think all of us have to get involved. We should all be more educated about drinking and dnving and | think all ot us should stop doing it ourselves." Other than the drinking and driv- ing issue, the only time trustee can- didates spoke was during their three minute speeches, spending much of their allotted time talking about their own qualifications, school tax and quality of education Bobbie Drew, an active member of the R.H. Cornish Parent Teacher Association for several years, spoke first. Jokingly referring to herself as 'the chocolate bar lady' who has helped raise 'more than $30,000" for R.H. Cornish, she said *'I have found it (fundraising) an unfortunate necessity in our schools today." Quoting a shortage of equipment, facilities and money for certain school projects, she said many ac- tivities wouldn't go on without fun- draising. She also promised, if elected, to find out how the board of education budget could be juggled to include those activities. "Why is it our tax dollars fail to provide these tools of learning?' she asked. 'Our children are our future. They deserve the best." Mrs. Drew also touched on the subject of Epsom Public School and Cartwright High School, both possi- ble targets for closure. Calling them charming and unique, she vowed to work to keep them open. The second speaker, Joyce Kelly, has a deep-rooted family history with education and spent much of her time comparing the 'old days" to the 'big business" education has become today. With approximately 31,000 students in public schools and 18,000 in high schools throughout Durham Region, plus a $166 million budget, Mrs. Kelly said the board needs strong representation with "effi- cient and wise money management skills." "You must agree this is big business,' she said. "Students must not be lost in it. Today a trustee must be willing to do much homework." Mrs. Kelly, a life-long Blackstock resident, took more than 2,000 votes in the last election, losing a close race to incumbent Stuart McEntyre. Three years ago only one trustee was elected in Scugog Township. On November 12th, two will be chosen. Reverend McEntyre, the third speaker of the evening, touched on many issues he believes will be im- portant in the next term described areas in which he feels im- provements have been made, in- cluding the board's relationship with teaching staff, school proper- ty maintenance, the new public school planned for Scugog. bus safe- ty, textbook curriculum. Calling for "'sound ethical values" as well as "'spiritual as well as in. tellectual well-being," he stressed the importance of developing cooperation in the areas of discipline and behaviour, drug and alcohol abuse, and multiculturalism. He said the new school will be the board's number one priority for con- struction with renovation and ex- pansion of Greenbank Public School important in the following year. About Epsom Public School and Cartwright High School, he said. "They are and should continue to be schools of excellence." John O'Toole, a former Separate School trustee in Northumberland. called education 'a gift for a lifetime'" and said many issues will need to be dealt with in the coming term: overcrowding, complex facilities, the new school, dialogue between the board, schools and community, and the quality of education. "Education," he said, 'must allow a child to grow and dream." He was adamant in his support of small community schools like Ep- som and Cartwright, saying 'They should continue. Small does not mean poor or unimportant." Debbie Tredway, a parent volunteer at Epsom/Greenbank Public Schools, also spoke out against the closure of small schools. "It is obvious there is a desperate need for a new school and because of this I find it ridiculous that a school like Epsom is under review for possible closure," she said. "Small is not always worse." Mrs. Tredway also called for a fuller disclosure of how board tax dollars are spent with better com- munication between it and public. "The adage you only get what you pay for holds true in education,' she said. shortages and ' Although the trustee candidates took a back seat to other candidates at Wednesday's meeting, they'll hold forth front and centre at R.H. Cornish Public School this Thursday November 7th at 7:30 p.m. when a public meeting will be held to listen and ask questions of trustee can- didates only. 154 Queen Street - Por Carpet and ry rile Ld.
