Waterloo, Ontario Melodee Martinuk Chronicle Staff Keep Brighton school open. That was the message a delegation of more than 40 Brighton school supporters delivered to Waterloo county board of education trustees at its Thursday meetâ€" ing. Speaking on behalf of the residents, Mark Arlett told the board that the safety of area children would be threatened if the core school were closed, because the youngsters would be forced to cross heavilyâ€"travelled roags to reach alternaâ€" tive schools. As "devastating‘"‘ Arlett added, would be the effect Brighton‘s closure would have on city efforts aimed at encouraging more families to move into the Uptown area. ‘‘Two other core schools have closed in recent years, namely Alexandra and St. Louis. The loss of a third core school could be devastating and counter productive to the efforts currently being made by Waterloo city council,‘" he argued. Board staff have recommended Brightâ€" on for closure because the school‘s declining student population is not suffiâ€" cient to make its continued operation viable. In 1984 the board deferred a decision on the school‘s future for two years to give Waterloo city hall time to implement programs designed to generâ€" ate additional enrolment. Brighton, which has 118 students, has a capacity of 270. Currently classrooms are being rented by a private nursery school and the Ontario Secondary School Teachâ€" ers Federation. In his presentation, Arlett emphasized the strong support Brighton receives from the community, which he illustrated by describing the involvement of volunteers in school programming. He pointed out that Brighton is a modern stucture, in need of no "major repairs‘‘ and features a large playground which is used by the students for many activities. ‘"We believe that Brighton school is a superb facility which enjoys a high level of satisfaction from its community. It is strategically located to draw on the resources of the community and to allow City and residents team once again to keep Brighton open 35 cents Shortreed said he voted against the resolution because he did not fully understand it. The anticipated 1986â€"87 revenue of the undesignated lotteries is $204 million. Lottario and Wintario are expected to account for $133 million. . . Calling lotteries a "regressive form of voluntary taxation‘‘, Telegdi explained the muney could be better spent than it currently is. Onaping Falls also suggested Waterloo to forward their decision to local MPP Herb Epp. **The money is often misspent.
