The calves are meeting is planned for Aug. bought before Nov. 1 if the 20. fair continues. The Hensall Fair, which is held in June, has events for every age group. it is a great opportunity for young people to exhibit their school work and participate in the many activities at the fair. A mini pedal tractor pull, a pet show, and showing and selling calves, lambs and swine are a few of the events for area youth. For the past three years, the Bluewater Tug of War Team have organized and supported an elementary school challenge with approximately 120 students participating. The Hensall Calf Club, Other events, such as team penning, horseshoe pitching and the homecraft division to list a few, are of interest to our adult sector. There is a lot of potential for the Hensall Fair, if enough people are willing to work together, but the fair cannot continue with only a handful of volunteers. Come out to the public meeting which will be held Aug. 20 at 8 p.m. at the Hensall Community Centre. If you would like to see the Hensall Fair continue, come out, show your support and bring your ideas. News Working conditions remain under watch as teacher -load remains high From Pogo 1 battle with teachers' unions, the government allowed boards to include remedial, supervisory and on-call duties as teacher time in thcir collective agreements. "We moved on it at this time because we wanted to be able to let the principals work out their timetables for the schools," the board chair said. Teachers could potentially now have less class time, freeing up time for extra -curricular supervisory duties. Last year, due to a legislative increase in classroom requirements, such activities were absent from some districts and were considerably limited in the Avon Maitland board. District 8 president Bill Huzar cautions teachers could still face considerable time limitations, especially if they have to deal with thc implementation of the new four-year high school curriculum. "My concern still -- and I still express it to them, like I expressed it to them all last year -- is maintaining their personal health and that they arc able to fulfill thcir professional curriculum responsibilities." Huzar notes that thc interim agreement remains in effect only while thc union's current collective agreement remains in force. The priority now becomes negotiations to replace thc current one-year deal, and Huzar says difficult issues still face the two parties. "Wc have real difficulty with the government's workload conditions," he stated. "1995 and 2001 arc completely different worlds in terms of thc work that teachers are asked to perform and the conditions under which they're asked to do it." Though the board, isn't directly involved in the coordination of extra -curricular activities, Anderson is confident there's enough time prior to the beginning of school to provide a full range of opportunities for students.
