2 Huron meningitis deaths
among 7 in Ontario
At least seven people in Ontario
have died of meningitis this year
with two of those deaths having
been from Huron County. The most
recent victim was a three month old
Seaforth baby who actually surviv
ed the disease but died from
complications and side effects.
Meningitis is fatal nine times out
of 10 if it is left untreated.
However the chances of surviving it
increase to eight out of 10 if you
receive prompt medical attention.
The symptoms of meningitis are
not unlike the flu with high fevers
and severe headaches. The one
symptom that should tip people off
is a stiff neck. In infants the soft
spot on the top of their head will
swell. This is caused by an inflam
mation of the lining of the brain.
The disease is only mildly conta
gious. A person stands a three in 10
chance of contracting meningitis if
someone in his immediate family
has it. Anyone outside the family
would have virtually no chance of
getting the disease.
The Medical Officer of Health for
Huron County urges that if you
have a concern you should see your
physician. There have, as of last
week, not been any further cases
reported in Huron County.
Ontario appears to be the Cana
dian focus for meningitis this year.
There were 31 cases, including two
deaths, in January and 30 cases,
including five deaths, in February.
Meningitis as with most communi
cable diseases follows a cycle.
People develop an immunity to the
infection but the next generation
becomes more susceptable to a new
outbreak.
An emergency vaccination pro
gram has been started in Lindsay,
Peterborough and Victoria County.
Teachers hear language ideas
Elementary school children are
going to begin being taught in a
more wholistic method according to
the criteria presented at the Pro
fessional Development (P.D.) day
held in Seaforth on February 24.
1989. No longer will there be half
hours of specialized time preparing
for a spelling class. Instead the
spelling will be part of virtually
every other class.
According to experts, research
has indicated that a fragmented
teaching style does not deliver the
goods, so therefore educators must
move away from a fragmented
teaching style.
The guest faculty for the P.D.
Day did not design a new language
-urriculum for Huron County
Schools, but did, however, offer
some new ideas to the teachers
present reaffirming that they are
on the right track. Most area
schools have already moved away
from the separate, more fragment
ed method of teaching.
The P.D. day was attended by
100 teachers, school board trustees
and parents from across Huron
County. This includes Seaforth,
Walton, Blyth, Brussels, Vanastra,
Hullett and Brucefield. Parents
who had voiced concerns about the
lack of formal spelling or grammar
classes in their children's school
were specifically invited to attend.
It was pointed out that teaching
whole language creates more work
for the teacher, that they have to be
more prepared and deal with each
child’s difficulties individually.
These problems are dealt with very
definitely.
