Area youth receives Sears drama award How would you like to spend an evening of dancing, delicious food and good fellowship? The opportunity comes April 29 at the Clinton Legion with the Huron County Junior Farmers host their annual banquet. The banquet is held in conjunction with a conference of members from Bruce, Grey, Huron and Perth Counties in the afternoon of April 29. The evening begins at By April Bromley April is Safe School Month and the students at Brussels Public School recently learned a new problem-solving approach at a workshop. The Peer Mediation program is designed to help students from Grades 5 to 7 resolve their own conflicts. Principal David Kemp says the program will allow students to examine the causes of conflicts and then come up with reasonable solutions. "Instead of the teacher or principal solving the problem, we will train our students to be the mediators," he explains. According to Kemp three members of the staff attended a Peer Mediation training course in Belgrave last year. "We took a two and a half day course with Dr. Connie Edwards to prepare ourselves." 6 p.m. with a social hour and bidding on the silent auction articles. A delicious meal served by the Legion will start at 7 p.m. The after dinner program includes a candlelight induction ceremony and awards for club members. A dance concludes the evening. Tickets are $15 each or $25 per couple or just $5 for the dance. Call 527-2525,523-4458 for more information. He adds the school has decided to begin the program now as part of the Safe School Month activities. Kemp agrees that alternatives to the regular disciplinary methods are needed. "There is a sensitivity towards violence in society that is reflected in school systems across the province," he says. The Peer Mediation program has been implemented in response to concerns of increasing violence in schools. "In this area, these responses are a direct result of those kinds of concerns. We're more interested in preventing violent incidences, and helping people learn to deal with problems before violence happens," he says. The new approach will mean the intervention of a third party, to assist students in reaching a settlement. Kemp says the goal of the program is to preserve the Huron Junior Farmers is a non profit organization for young people 15-30 years old that promotes its motto "self help through community betterment". The club helped out with the Slice of Huron, the Seaforth Blood Donor Clinic and hosted sports tournaments in the Seaforth and Clinton area. The members plan volleyball and bowling nights each month. dignity of both parties through a voluntary meditation process. He says the workshop stresses co-operation, disclosure, and mutual • problem-solving. The mediation process involves three main stages. The opening stage sets the ground rules and explains the process to the participants. The resolution stage allows the students to tell their side of the story, and brainstorm for possible solutions. The agreement is then finalized in the closing stage. According to Kemp the ground rules are simple. The students simply have to tell the truth, listen to others without interrupting or name calling and try hard to think of solutions. "That's what it's all about, helping people who are in conflict to work out a solution," says Kemp. The first lead acting role for an F.E. Madill student brought a regional honour when he won the Sears Drama Festival Award for acting excellence during a ceremo- ny on April 1 in St. Marys. Dale Wernham, 18, son of Kevin and Rosalee Wernham of RR2 Bluevale, portrayed "The Author" in the performance of The Play's the Thing, Tra-la. Wernham, who transferred from Listowel District High School where he had held secondary roles, says the competition awards excel- lence and merit for acting as well as technical skills. The judge views the contestants publicly and interviews them pri- vately to decide the winners. Wernham says the judge told him he earned the award for best lead actor because of the skill and matu- rity with which he handled the lead role. He beat out nine other entrants. "I would love to go into theatre," says Wernham. "It has always been a dream of mine, but I will be Hot off the press Blyth Festival unveiled its 1995 season poster last week.
