HPRCSSB reviews financial statements BY GREGOR CAMPBELL Expositor Staff Financial statements for the last (1997) fiscal year, yet to he audited, were presented to trustees for review by super- intendent of business Gerald Thus at last Monday night's meeting of the Huron -Perth Catholic District School Board. The figures were prepared prior to the Ontario govern- ment's new funding formula being announced. According to superinten- dent of business Gerald Thuss, actual revenue is $33,224,789, representing a decrease of $873,626 over the budgeted amount. Ontario government grants have decreased by $657,003. However, within Ontario government grants, the basic per pupil grant decreased by $457,046, offset in part by a reduction in tuition fee expenditures of $480,583. "Review of expenditure areas indicates positive bal- ances this year end," the business superintendent's. report reads. "Notable exceptions include salary costs, which reflect savings attributed to the 10 -day provincial protest (by teachers' unions) and an off -setting payment to par- ents of $745,730. This repre- sents 85 per cent of the hoard's eligible families." "Instructional day school expenditures were over bud- get, reflecting the fact that expenditures for St. Anne's (Catholic Secondary School at Clinton) were transferred to the ordinary expenditure budget for grant purposes. "Increases in transportation costs were recovered through increases in transportation recoveries to other school boards." * * * Arca school boards want more professional develop- ment days. At its March 30 meeting, trustees of thc Huron -Perth Catholic District School Board felt a distinction should be made between pro- fessional activity days and professional development days. The issue is "critical," Louise Martin said, and not only for secondary schools, commented Mike Miller. There were nine profession- al development/ activity days in this school year, but in next year's school calender there are only four, as man- dated by the Ontario govern- ment. The arca Catholic hoard carried a recommendation that it "in collaboration with its coterminous school board, the Avon Maitland District School Board (public), . request Ontario's education minister review the designa- tion of professional activity/development days and increase the number of days in 1999-2000 to reflect the real staff development day needs." **'* The Huron -Perth Catholic School Board adopted a mod - Heart and Stroke to hold women's symposium Over the past forty years, the heart and Stroke Foundation has contributed to dramatic declines in the rates at which Canadian women die from heart dis- ease and stroke. Nevertheless, heart disease and stroke is still the leading cause of death among women. In fact, it accounts for 40 per cent of all Canadian female deaths. Research has found that almost twice as many women as mcn die following a heart attack or stroke. The number one reason for this is that most women do not recog- nize thc signs of heart dis- ease. Whereas mcn tend to suffer from the classic symp- tom of crushing chest pain, the early signs for women tend to he more vague and diffused. For women, thc ini- tial sign of heart disease may be either chest pain or chest discomfort. For men, the ini- tial sign tends to be a heart attack. Not being aware of the warning signs of a hcart attack -- or assuming that hcart disease is a mans' dis- casc--is something that we all should be aware of, There are many risk factors that affcct your chances of heart disease or stroke. Some you can't change, such as your age or your family's history, but many you can control. These factors include diabetes, high blood pressure and choles- terol, menopause, obesity, physical inactivity, smoking and stress. How can women reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke? First talk to your doctor, both about your risk profile and what you can do about it. Second, know your risk fac- tors and reduce as many of them as possible. You are not able to change your age or family history, but you can become more physically active, reduce the amount of fat in your diet, quit smoking, or learn to manage the stress in your life. Third, know thc warning signs of heart attack and stroke and take action immediately if they occur. To further inform womcn on heart disease and stroke, the Hcart and Strokc Foundation of Ontario - Huron Chapter, will be hold- ing a "Women & Heart Health" symposium on April 22, at the Zurich Mennonite Church, between 6:30-9 p.m. Dr. Heather Percival, of Seaforth, will start off the evening, followed by a panel discussion with others who have somehow been affected with either heart disease or stroke. A low fat cooking demonstration by Deb Campbell, also of Seaforth, will end the evening.She will be using recipes from Bonnie Stern's "More Heart Smart Cooking" cookbook. Admission is $2.

It calls for a one week March hrcak next year instead of two, for both ele- mentary and secondary schools in the system. Easter Monday also becomes an instructional day. The calendar provides for 190 instructional days and four professional activity days, mandated by new regu- lations from the Ontario gov- ernment. Previously there were ninc PA days. In thc secondary school cal- endar three of those profes- sional activity days are at the end of the school ycar, June 28 to 30, which teachers felt was the minimum required for the chores required. The activity days are more spread out throughout the ycar in the elementary calen- dar, three of which (November 27, April 30 and Junc 30) may be utilized for parent -teacher interviews. Trustees felt shortening the March break was preferable to starting the school ycar prior to Labour Day, which was another option.
