Jensen in line as board leader Barring upset, the trustee for Tiny Township and Penetanguishene will be elected chairman of the Simcoe County Board of Education in two weeks. Joan Jensen of Wyevale has been the board's vice- chairman for two years and a trustee for five years. A board regulation re- quires a chairman to serve a maximum of two years. Chairman Linda Godhue has served two years. SCBE tradition is that the vice-chairman succeed the chairman, even if another trustee seeks the position in the annual November election. The chairman's position is not officially a full time job. Jensen is prepared to be busier than she is now. "If | am busier than I am now, it will be the equivalent of a full time job." Jensen said she is more knowledgeable about politics since she became a trustee. "I am not counting on being in a position un- til after the vote is counted." She hasn't heard that any other trustee wants the job. The Simcoe County Board of Education is a multi-million dollar opera- tion overseen by 22 trustees. The 1987 budget is $167,628,600. The chair- man, the highest paid trustee, receives a modest $1,247.89 a month, about the same as the person in the position of mayor of Midland. The board chairman, besides spending time at the board office in Barrie, goes to Toronto frequently for meetings, meets mon- thly with the chairmen of other boards, with teachers on professional develop- ment days, and with staff. "T have been certainly forewarned that I will have a large time commitment. I am prepared to be away. from home a lot more." The board still is struggl- ing with Bill 75, the legisla- tion which added three francophone trustees to the board. "We are doing our best to figure out the grey areas.' The English language trustees and the French Language Educa- tion Council members do not always reach a consen- sus, Jensen said. Answers demanded from Harbour The people have a right to know. That's what the ex- deputy reeve of Victoria Harbour says. She and others want the village to reveal the financial details - all of them - for a plan to develop lots on Bay Street. Catherine MacKenzie, who resigned last year over disagreement with council, says she just wants to know what the final price tag will be. "Council is obliged to give a full accounting to the taxpayers," said MacKenzie. "T just want to see it." MacKenzie planned to attend this week's Monday night meeting in hopes of getting some kind of answer to her questions. But at their Oct. 22 meeting, some councillors said MacKenzie's concerns "have already been ad- dressed." At that meeting the cur- rent deputy-reeve, Bob Moreau, suggested coun- cillors get together with MacKenzie and two others who wrote the letter demanding answers. (The : other co-signers to the let- ter are the village's ex- administrator, Doug Law's effect brings protest A tough law forcing peo- ple to clean up their yards prompted two irate Port MeNicoll residents to ap- pear at last week's council meeting. Both men wanted the village to relax its enforce- ment on them. But council didn't back down. The first stormed out after learning he could not keep a car in his yard while he worked on it. He also disagreed over a $150 bill sent by the village after it hired two men to clean up his yard. The second demanded he be allowed to keep a boat next to bis porch while he worked on it through the winter. He became vocal after learn- ing his request had already been turned down by the property standards com- mittee earlier in the week. "You should look after your own properties first," said the man, referring to several village-owned lots where grass had not been cut recently. The village enacted the property standards law earlier this year to try to clean up the village. Coun- cillors wanted a law '"'with teeth" to clamp down on those whose yards were an eyesore. Since then the bylaw en- forcement officer, John "J.J." Dallaire, has been circling the village making sure the worst offenders are caught. He has run in- to difficulty before, but "I always call the police if there's an altercation," he said. Between Oct. 7 and Nov. 4 Dallaire issued eight notices of violation under the property standards act. Reeve John Moreau said at last week's council meeting the new law works. "There's been a terrific improvement in the village," he said. "It's really quite a joy to drive around and take a look." a RAD \ MARTINS EQUIPMENT \.

But councillor Paul Charlebois said "'I have no problem if the rest of coun- cil wants to meet with them - but I will not attend that meeting." And councillor Bob Atkinson said "'it's the same questions they had before. How many times have we addressed their concerns already?" scrapped and, instead, council would "send them a letter." In a short interview by phone last Wednesday, Moreau said he was work- ing on a complete reply to the trio's concerns. "We will address all their concerns but we will han- dle it through a letter," he said. He added the village has already arranged an On- tario Municipal Board the three. "They have the right to be heard,"' said Moreau. An OMB hearing would delay development. He added the village's planner and engineer were being consulted for the letter. MacKenzie said she wants to know the full cost of Victoria Harbour's sub- division. For example, that would incfude the costs of administration and_pro- So the meeting idea was hearing into the matter for viding services.
