Nib ti('OI-'1 Peaceful nrediauun rs being looked at as a method til tonthct resolution for sturden•t;. in Huron County schools. ["hrty,scven,rcfgresentaitiycs Iron) Huron County elementary schools participated in a unique three-day (Thursday to Saturday) workshop dealing with Creative Conflict Res- olution in the Schools. Dr.. Connie Edwards of the Conflict Resolution Institute guided teachers through role-playing and examples of con- Iliets commonly encountered .in school settings. Chuck Rowland, Superintendent of Schools for the Huron County Board of Education was at the lhrec-day con lerenec at the Belgrave Community ('entre on Thursday. "This cunlcrencc MS u) w Illi our mitialt c starlet) last \ear to ,ale ,churl,. l\ e ha\ c to teach .:hildren how to resole conllLcls. \\circ hat\ int adults trained ,i, mediators who Will gig hack and. train teachers and chi Idren," said Rowland.. The 'Peace Makers' program will be eventually introduced 'to all Huron County elementary student,. Rowland said it' you Want zero tolerance of violence in schools you have to tcach.pcoplc how to get to that .goal. "It's a way Of achieving a violent -free school system. This conference involved repre- sentative mainly from north Huron schools. The remainder of the county will be covered during the' school year, • "Teachers are lacing 'the whole continuum of violence from a.nasty look to weapons.” said Dr. Connie Edwards, who; has 0 hockground in elementary and secondary school teaching as well as university -level:.. instruction. Edwards, works as a professional mediator. "'You don't even have to ask the question, 'Is• safety a concern in schools'?' The answer is yes...Mgre in some schools than others," she said. Peer mediation is a process towardS teaching all children in all schools conflict resolutions.. "You have to give them the skills, to deal with conflict," said the mediator. "[t helps them view conflict resol= ution in different ways. Traditional ways tend to be negative and not. always I appropriate. People • can resolve conflicts in non -adversarial ways," said Edwards. This is just one application of a pricess•which is currently being done inside and outside the criminal justice system; according to the mediator, More zinc] more mediation centres are being opened in Canada and the U.S. For example,. there are places 'neighbours'can go who are having disputes to settle then) instead. of hauling thing, out in courts. "Peer mediation is juat an applLa non of a bigger system," . Edwards heard 'comments and ansviercd questions from participat- ing teachers after their role-playing sessions. ideally Edwards likes to meet with both disputants involved in a conflict before mediation. The, mediator listens.to each side Of the story separately then brings them together for a mediation. Mediation is a new term to many students. "When you say to kids, 'l offer you the choice of going to, peer mediation,' you have to let kids know it's not 'meditation' or even 'medication,"' joked Edwards. One of the aspects of conflict resolution is trying to get students not to blame others. "If 1 blank, l don't have to take any responsibil- ity " said Edwards. 'You ha\e to help kills make the ,hitt t.+. '1 did. this....`. . One teacher asked what to do If .you ha(( two children who are constantly in.ctmtlict and their two families are warring as well. -It's. a judgement call. Mediation might he possible. You could start with. the kids. The secondary players- - the .parents, are part of the war but could sabotage any agreement the kids have," said Edwards. "Maybe.- in • one situation - you, could let parents know of the agree- ment (of the children) or cull them in," said Edwards.: With that sort of situation there's a variety of -approaches that could be taken. • What do the participating teachers think of the three-day workshop? "It teaches kids how to solve their Own problems instead of depending on teachers," said Jane Morton, who teaches grade eight in Exeter. "We can hopefully take, hack a process that works on the empowerment' of the student. It .gives them the responsibility. of the situation. We have to create the awareness of the difference between negotiation and mediation. We deal on a day-to-day basis with negoti- ation. We' need to move to media- tion," said Bill Tall or- Sealorth, who teaches grade five and six at Brussels Public School Did you know?

Rabies clinics in October Agriculture Canada veterinarians in Ontario are concerned about the spread of raccoon ratlics which is expected to hit Ontario in 1994. Should Ministry of Natural Resour- ces vaccine program fail to contain the spread, an increase in livestock and •human exposure to rabies is expected in the future. The best protection you can have is to vaccinate your pets. In Bruce- Grcy-Owen Sound it is compulsory for all dogs, cats and riding horses to have regular rabies vaccinations. Barn cats are a great threat since they have tree access to livestock, wildlife, and humans. The annual low-cost rabies clinics are designed to financially assist in the vac- cination of barn cats. Trap or catch and singly bag the cats to safely and humanely transport them to the rabies clinics. Clinics will be 'on Oct. 18, 19, 'Ind 20 in Bruce County. • Watch this paper for a lull schedule 'show ing clinic location, and times.
