Literacy group centred in Bruce By Debbie Davidson SSP News Staff One of 20 regional literacy networks in the province will be operating out of Walkerton. The Queen's Bush Initiatives for Literacy and Learning (QUILL) Network, one of the largest geographic areas in the province, officially opened the first week of September in conjunction with International Literacy Day on Sept. 8. "The importance of the net- work is that we'll hopefully lighten the load of literacy providers. We'll be able to offer the services which had been taking time away from the delivery of providers' pro- grams," said Cindy Davidson, one of two project coordina- tors. The network, funded by the Ontario Training and Adjustment Board (OTAB), will serve literacy needs in the Georgian Triangle, Grey, Bruce, Huron and Perth coun- ties. The network provides free training events, an information Hotline, referral services, a quarterly newsletter, network- ing opportunities for literacy providers and a resource col- lection. QUILL existed as Literacy South Central network until a recent change in geographic boundaries. "To reflect the new geo- graphic area, we decided to change our name and structure a bit," said Davidson. "We're hoping to broaden our services a bit and expand Hensall Shuffleboard Sept.

They voted unanimously last Wednesday to send letter to the Ontario government asking they be phased out. Long-term disability plans and pensions now do what "expensive" retirement gratuities once did, they feel. Teachers are alloted 20 sick days each year, which they can accumulate up to a total of 240 in their careers. They may claim up to a maximum of 50 per cent of their final year's salary as a retirement gratuity. The Perth board estimates it will pay about S1 -million in gratuities this year. so r JUNIOR SUPREME Designed to meet the demands of young Hockey & Ringette players with the look of Bauer's top performance line.
