The board will be the first system in western Ontario to take part in the exercise and hope to work out geographic details in a special meeting on February 21. The program is being spon- sored by the Ontario ministry of education and has three major aims. The board hopes to collect information at both the local and provincial level to enable education achievements to be mdre perceived. They hope to collect information to *assist in the areas of ac- countability and development and to provide a peofessional growth experience for the pedple involved. The program was outlined by two ministry representatives from the London regional office. Pat Fleck, the regional director of education for the Western Ontaro Region and Jay Lockerbie, the superintendent of supervisory services, explained the six step pattern in the project and told the board that if it wanted to set up committees to do the evaluation it had better do it now. Mr. Fleck explained that if the board wanted to complete the program this school year it would have to designate one specific area of the county to enable the six steps to be completed by the end of June. He said the ministry was prepared to do an evaluation of the entire county but wouldn't be able to complete the study in the four months remaining in the school calendar. Shirley Hazlitt said she felt the evaluation 'had considerable merit and that the board should move as soon as possible to get the program underway.

"Time is important," she said. "The board should meet im- mediately and lay the groun- drules, decide on the area to be looked at and get other ands, ifs and buts dealt with." Mr. Fleck supported. Mrs. Hazlitt's approach, adding that if the board wanted the survey completed this year it would have to meet and decide what area to evaluate. He said the area would have to be decided on within two weeks time so the staffs, of the schools could be briefed on the program. The first step the board will take after designating the area to be studied is to set up an internal evaluation committee. The in- ternal committee will have as wide a representation as possible and will include public and professionals. The committee will undertake a role review involving teachers, trustees and administration. It will also complete a questionnaire sent to the public aimed at gaining some insight into the opinions and feelings of people on the quality of education in the system. Program reviews will also be done to determine the value of the curriculum of the schools. The internal committee should be finished its work by May and the report it does will then go to an external committee. The external group is made up of ministry employees and professionals from outside the Huron County system. The committee is half ministry and half professionals and they review the internal report in relation to their own knowledge of education, sytems. From there the two committees do a co-operative review and prepare an evaluation report that is given to the Huron County Board and to the ministry. The report is then left at the board's discretion as to what they do with it and the final step Is an examination of any follow up activities the board feels are necessary. Mr. Fleck explained that the designed impact of the evaluation also increases the need for im- mediate action. He said the reports, questionnaires and comments of those involved are to be impulse reactions rather than thought out opinions. He said the . ministry would like a "snap shot" image of the education system from the Growth and development of the ARC Industries workshop at Dashwood should continue at a good rate in 1977 according to Don Campbell. Campbell who assumed the duties of workshop director in April of last year was recently named executive director for the South Huron Association for the Mentally Retarded, The executive director said "I am very optimistic about. 1977 and welcome the challenge in building good working relations with the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services and in developing," He continued, "It is real rewarding to see our trainees develop skills and graduate to the outside labour market." As executive director for the Association, Campbell will be responsible for operation of the ARC Industries workshop, Huron Hope Nursery and the Exeter residence at 28 James Street. Campbell said the association is hoping to expand residential facilities by obtaining a second residence in the area in the very near future. There are now 50 trainees at the workshop on a daily basis. This is an increase from 14 in 1975. Under a 30 week Local Initiatives Program Larry Skinner and Doug Gould are in charge of job placement and contract procurement in con- junction with Canada Manpower. Four of the handicapped trainees are currently working at Pinery Provincial Park painting picnic tables. Campbell earn- mented, "They have a long way to go with more than 7,000 tables waiting to be repainted. One of the trainees Stan Pickering is being trained at the moment to supervise workshop activities at the Pinery park to free the other two men for other job placements. Several trainees have left the workshop and moved into the labour market. One is employed at the Village Inn Retreat at Grand Bend looking after the front desk, bus schedules, cooking, setting up for banquets and helping with janitorial duties. Another trainee is with Exeter Furniture on a full time basis and is working at all aspects of the furniture making business and two are with Roder Turkey Farms in the Arkona- . Watford area. Don Campbell indicated that- the ARC workshop is not limited to mentally retarded persons but will provide rehabilitation for other types of handicaps. The local Youth Across Canada for the Mentally Retarded group is extremely dedicated in filling the leisure time for trainees at ARC. Maureen Hartman is the local president. rry ri A proposed plan this spring would have trainees acting as maintenance crews in opening and cleaning cottages in the nearby summer resort areas. Campbell said he will be striving to strike a balance between products and rehabilitation with better equipment, supplies and wider range of services. Through the joint co-operation of the Huron and Lambton boards of education Margaret Merner is employed as a teacher four days each week at the workshop, A wide range of skills are taught at the workshop. Caroline Merner is the bookkeeping in- structor, Paula Vink is in charge of the kitchen, Debbie Patterson is office supervisor, Seffa Ketelaars heads ;the maintenance staff, Margaret Wright is in charge of contracts and David Hemingway and Ryan Brown instruct in woodworking. They are being assisted part-time by Floyd Martel. Trainees are brought to the Dashwood workshop by bus from as far south as Ipperwash and Ark ona and as far north as GoderichendClinton.Bus drivers in this area are Jake and Verdun Lindenfield and Alida Struyke. The annual meeting of the South Huron Assocation for the OPP report 12 crashes in area Another storm hit the area Sunday, resulting in a number of accidents as driving conditions returned to hazardous. The Exeter OPP investigated a total of 12 crashes and estimated damage at $7,000. There were some minor injuries reported. Once again, the driving con- ditions prevented police from reaching the scene of some of the crashes and at press time the details of the accidents had not been compiled by the in- vestigating officers. Highway 4 north of Exeter was closed shortly after dinner and Highway 83 was also closed at one point during the night. Visibility was nil at times on area roads. During the week, the local detachment officers laid five charges under the Highway Traffic Act, four under the Liquor Licence Act and three under the Criminal Code. Other occurrences were as follows: fOur liquor seizures, three snow vehicle complaints, two impaired drivers, one at- tempted break and enter, one car fire, one chimney fire, one theft, two domestic complaints, two dog complaints, one assault and one incident of littering.

The tops of pops award went to Joanne Bowen who was the best dressed. A singsong with Glenda Wagner at the organ was enjoyed after which lunch was served. participants and to get this the people must offer immediate reactions to questions rather than going home and thinking about them. He said the board can expect improved communication within the education system as well as unfiltered perceptions of parents, teachers, administrators and students as to their expectations of the system. He said they should get an essessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the whole school operation both by people who are part of the system and by role experts who are part of the ministry staff. He said staff roles will be clarified, both teaching and administrative and parents and taxpayers will offer views on their priorities for education. He added that as well as opinion from the public a line of com- munication to taxpayers should be opened as a result of par- ticipation in the evaluation. Mr. Fleck said 11 systems had taken part in the evaluation projects in its two year history and each had developed distinc- tive alternatives to handle what they discovered were problems in their area. He said the boards had all discovered areas of weakness but the areas differed in all 11. • FAIR BOARD EXECUTIVE — The new executive of the Exeter Agricultural Society officially took office at the annual meeting Wednesday.
