Separate school students will have two-week long March break in 1994 by Michele Greene The March Break will be two weeks long for students in schools of the Huron -Perth Roman Catholic Separate School next year. Dr. James Brown, director of education, said five of the nine professional days for teachers will no longer be spread throughout the year but will be moved to the week before the school year begins this September. For the students, those five days will be added to the March Break. The remaining four days will be parent -teacher interviews throughout the year. The students will still have the same number of instructional days, he said "The parents were supportive because it's easier to arrange daycare for one week at a time than one day a month. In so many fam- ilies, both parents are working and it's a daycare situation for them," Dr. Brown said. Parents and teachers were all surveyed for their opinions before the decision was made. Dr. Brown said he was surprised at how sup- portive the parents were. During the five days before the first day of class, teachers will be involved in professionaldevelop- ment related to program changes in the province. This plan will allow teachers to apply what they learned immediately as a new school year begins. Any set up of classrooms will be done before the week of professional development days. "This doesn't mean students will attend less classes or teachers will work one week less. It's just a reorganization of time," he said. The Essex Roman Catholic Separ- ate Board already has a two-week March Break in place. The Oxford Roman Catholic Separate Board and the North York Roman Catholic Separate Board are considering the move to take effect in 1994. A spokesperson for - the Huron County Board of Education said March Break will be one week long for its schools in 1994. Recycling expands as people's thinking changes .The blue box represents recycling in Ontario. You see one and you know that recycling programs are in place. The blue box has changed people's thinking about recycling and recycling is now a conscious process for most people. However, a great deal of recyclable material is not included in the blue box program. In other words, the program has reached the people - but not necessarily the. recyclable product. To divert that large volume of material from landfill that is not part of the blue box program is the focus of ICI (industrial, commercial, institutional) recycling. ICI recycling processes materials i"torn institutions such as schools and town offices, from commercial establishments on main street and local industry. Although the volume of material generated may vary from one municipality to another, ICI generators may account for up to 60 per cent of the solid waste going to your landfill. Bruce Area Solid Waste Recycling Association (BAR), in partnership with member municipalities, has a variety of ICI programs in place. Councillor George Gibson says that Lucknow has a small ICI program in place. The aim behind the ICI program is to transfer the habit of recycling from home to business. Specially marked boxes 1 BDO CHARTERED ,ACCOUNTANTS are issued to businesses to recycl the same materials as resident:. Each truck has two counters: on for household blue boxes, and on for ICI blue boxes. BAR invoice the village for pickups. The IC fees are paid . from busine: taxation. For generators with large volume, depot bins with capacitie up to 90 gallons are available These bins are available for pui chase from BAR assuring that the properly fit for lifting materials int the trucks. While blue boxes at - provided free, bins cost ap- proximately $110, says Councillor Gibson. Presently one is in use at Pinecrest Nursing Home. The user fee for generators is $5.00 per stop in member municipalities. Materials gathered include newsprint, cans, glass and plastic with turn on lids. As with all recyclables, materials must be source separated and free of contamination. Councillor Gibson added that from BAR's perspective, the Kin- loss Township depot system is working well. Pickups there in January and February diverted 3.35 tonnes from the landfill site, which approximately 50-55 90 gal. depot bins. If your work place generates recyclables and you are interested in a program, please contact your municipality for more information..
