Deputy -Reeve Bill Teall commented in effect it might prove "a sham" because it would be a case of the county investigating itself. Anonymous letters were widely circulated earlier this year containing various and assorted allegations. Report raises concern BY AMY NEILANDS SSP News Staff The annual Huron County Board of Education suspen- sions report raised some con- cerns with one trustee when the board reconvened after the summer break on Sept. 3. The total suspensions for the 1995-96 school year for the board's 24 elementary schools total 123 and for the five secondary schools the total is 195 suspensions. The totals for Seaforth and area schools are Seaforth Public at seven, Hullett Central School at four, Huron Centennial School at seven, Vanastra Community School at 12 Seaforth District High School at 33 and Central Huron Secondary School at 31. Walton and Brussels public schools had zero suspensions during the 1995-96 school year. For Trustee Joan Van den Broeck, these suspensions raise "grave concerns" for these students' education. She noted that the number of suspensions has increased over the years and for those children who are "unmanage- able at an early age", she said that their education could be "severely at risk." "1 know teachers have a great deal of difficulty deal- ing with some of these chil- dren but I question whether or • not sending them home will benefit the child," said Van den Broeck. She added that sending children home, where the problems could stem from, "will not teach anyone a lesson...Parents who are not owning up to. their responsibilities are putting their children at edu- cational risk." Bands entertain Sixty-six pipers, 44 drum- mers and three drum majors entertained an estimated 10,000, thousands of whom marched behind the massed bands, at Kincardine's fifth annual gathering of the clans Aug. 24. People were tapping their toes eight deep on the sidewalks. Superintendent Chuck Rowland explained that sus- pensions are often done in favor of the rest of the stu- dents in the classroom. "We want a safe environment for the rest of the kids in the class," he said. As for the concerns about parents, Rowland noted that they offer a parenting program to parents who have difficulties dealing with their children. "Our schools are using all of the creative juices they can muster to break down prob- lems in the classroom...there comes a time when they say enough is enough, there are 32 other kids we have to look after." "If we get tough with the kids, we should get tough with the parents who don't deal with problems the best way they -can," said Van den Broeck. Rowland stated that they can't force parents to take a parenting class, but "we do get parents in who want help." Trustee Norman Pickell questioned whether in-house suspensions would work or not, then stated that most of the elementary schools didn't have that many suspensions. "If all of the schools were in the high numbers, then we should do something. I think our school system is doing a very good job. This sends the message that this is what happens to you if you misbe- have." With 185,000 pupil days last year, Director of Education Paul Carroll stated that there are one -and -a -half days out of 1,000 days they have to "intervene or inter- rupt a child's schedule, so I feel this report •is really meaningless to you." He added that that figure is a "really low percentage. I don't believe we have a prob- lem. It is regrettable when we have to act in suspensions, but we have had no expul- sions. Yes, we have our prob- lems; yes we have our chal- lenges, but it has been on the rarest occasions that we have had to use extreme mea- sures."

The meeting was closed and a lovely lunch was Institutes in Ontario Women's Institutes in Ontario have a new official tartan, designed by Nelda Morrison (South Macauley WI) of Bracebridgc, who has been involved with WI for 40 years. She decided to create a tar- tan in 1994, in return for all that she had gained from the organization, and started "doodling" with six colours. Her plaid then went to the Scottish Tartan Association for thc official registration. q note from the Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario explains white repre- sents thc winter snow and the clouds above; gold is the grain that has sustained Ontario families over the years ( and the WI colour, along with blue); the blue is 'cornflower' representing flowers; green is the verdure of Ontario; red represents fruits grown in Ontario; and, black is the trail of the black walnut that led pioneers to Ontario. Morrison learned to make hand-woven articles from her mother. She has been loom weaving since 1968. She presented her design to the federated institutes' recent hoard meeting held near Guelph.
