Taylor challenged those at the
banquet to shrug off old paradigms,
to eliminate phrases like "we've
always done it this way", to look
for creative new solutions and to
"pioneers" in our schools, in the
board of education and in the
educational system.

Waiting in the wings
Some members of the Clinton Carry On Cloggers took a practise run, or perhaps step, while
waiting to make their appearance Sunday afternoon at the Blyth Lions Fiddle Jamboree.
Sunday's cloudy skies made it a good day for playing indoors and the upstairs of the arena
was crammed with people ready to enjoy an afternoon of good music and dancing.

OPP have new devices
to catch impaired drivers
The Honourable David
Christopherson, Solicitor General
and Minister of Correctional
Services today announced that the
Ontario Provincial Police have
acquired new roadside screening
devices to assist them in the fight
against impaired driving.
"The OPP will be using new
roadside screening devices which
; have recently been approved by the
federal government, in OPP
Reduce Impaired Driving
Everywhere (RIDE) programs,"
said Mr. Christopherson. "These
devices will help the OPP to
enforce the law - drivers must be
sober behind the wheel. Drinking
and driving is a leading cause of
death and injuries on Ontario's
roads and improving road safety is
a priority for my government."
"The OPP are concerned about
deaths caused by impaired
driving," said Commissioner
Thomas O'Grady. "Our new
roadside screening devices will be
valuable tools to assist our RIDE
programs. We remain committed to
reducing drinking and driving."
Mr. Christopherson also said that
the ministry will put into effect a
program to assist with the costs of
replacing roadside screening
devices for the municipal police
services which were using the
ALERT model J3A before it was
withdrawn from service in Ontario.
The ministry will cover 100 per
cent of replacement costs for the
units and the police services will
select the federally-approved
device which best suits their needs.
The ministry is in the process of
finalizing the details of this
replacement program and further
information will be provided to the
affected police service next week.
On April 22, the -Ministry
recommended withdrawal of the
ALERT model J3A device after
learning that the manufacturer
niade modifications to some of the
devices without authorization of the
Attorney General of Canada. Other

You talk about moving programs
to other colleges and yet they must
work within their current budgets!
You can expect any of these
programs to other colleges and yet
they must work within their current
budgets! You can't expect any of
these programs to work if no one
has the time or the capacity. Are
you saying that OMAF has
previously given too much money
to the colleges and they've been
severely inefficient in managing
these?
And what of the research?
Are you going to move
Ridgetown personnel to this area at
a cost to the government and leave
people who have worked at
Centralia out in the cold. We live
• here, this is our area of expertise
and experience, we know this
work.
Furthermore, what's to happen to
the research at Ridgetown? Surely
you can expect that to suffer if the
same people, budget, time,
equipment, etc. have to look after
both places.
I would like also to respond to
your claim that agricultural
colleges are at 57 per cent capacity.
You are either trying to mislead the
public or you are totally unaware of
the facts with respect to Centralia.
Unaware because you refuse to
look at the facts, or worse, cannot
understand what you are reading.
Two hundred (200) beds, 174
people sleeping in them. That's
about 87 per cent of capacity. Add
to that at no extra cost to the
government more than 2000
children - yours (if allowed the
opportunity) and mine who have
been exposed to programs at the
College, and an additional almost
2,000 adults who used programs
offered at Centralia in the past year
alone. The true definition of
capacity, however, stems from the
number of teachers, not the beds.
Centralia has just the right number
of staff to teach and supervise 174
students. This is evidenced by the
overwhelming percentage of staff
who have only been employed by
short-term contracts.
We are a very efficient college,
Mr. Klopp. You and I are graduates
of this College. You've been a
farmer and you must know how
difficult it is for young men and
women who are needed at home to
have to travel a great distance and
live away from home to attend
school. You must realize the
importance of business education,
and the ever growing importance of
environmental education, espe-
cially considering tightening
legislation as applied to farmers.
Can we teach the people who live
in "that area of the most fertile and
productive land in the province"
when they have to leave it to learn?
You know you won't save money
with this move. Instead you'll have
to pay for new construction, new
employees, and a lot of social
assistance which returns nothing in
the way of dollars to the
government. I can see the deficit go
up instead of down. Will Bob Rae

leaders" who will be needed in the
future - leaders who can help others
undergo the changes and challenges
of their organization.
Ms Taylor emphasized that
people are not so afraid of change
as they are of how they operate
under that change, and many fear
that "place in between the change,
like Linus when his blanket is in
the wash!" Ms Taylor stressed the
need to meet new reality without
losing what is valued most. If
change is thrust upon members of
the education system without any
empowerment of the members to
meet the changes effectively, then
they are in danger of losing the
heart of the organization, she said.
Transformational leaders
empower their people by helping
them turn their dissatisfaction with
the status quo into positive new
visions for change, by' modelling
their visions and by celebrating the
successes in their organization. Ms
take a wage cut? Tell Elmer
Buchanan and Rita Burak to take a
wage cut till they're down to the
real working person's level of
income.
I don't know how you can ignore
the people who put you in office.
You're abandoning the people you
represent. A leader is a servant to
his/her people. Your loyalty to the ._
party is now in conflict with your
loyalty to the people of this riding.
You must choose for the people
who elected you to represent them.
You all know there is no reason to
shut down this College and its
associated services. I expect a
response, but please, without
"rhetoric". We got enough of that
from Ms Burak on April 23.
