Farmers protesting MPs Murray Cardiff (P.C.. Huron -Bruce), Gary Gurbin (P.C., Bruce -Grey) and Perrin Beatty (P.C.. Wellington-Dufferin-Simcoe) have presented 1,792 letters from farmers in their area protesting high interest rates and requesting assistance. The letters, which were addressed to Prime Minister Trudeau, were given to the MPs for transmittal to the Prime Minister. However, when both Mr. Trudeau and Finance Minister Allen MacEachen refused re- quests for a formal meeting with the three M.P.'s, they arranged to give the letters to the Minister in the House of Commons, Thursday. "These eighteen hundred ,letters are all from our area, but they represent the feelings of farmers across Canada. Unless the govern- ment realizes how seriously its policies are affecting Canadian farmers, literally thousands of producers will be threatened with bankruptcy. We call upon the Minister of Finance to change his politices before more damage is done," the three MPs said.

The request was turned over to the board's facilities committee for recommenda- tion, with a warning from chairman Jerry MacLean to look at the situation careful- ly before any special rate was set. The Exeter Mohawks will pay ice rental of $34 per hour for their regular season games, and pay the ice time or a 60/40 split of profits, whichever is more, during playoff games. Willem said the Junior D Hawks were strickly on a split revenue basis for their games last year, but will guarantee the arena 8100 per game this year. For the Mohawks, he said Special education JOY SHEILA CLARKE Co-ordinator, Student Services Eighty-five Huron County Special Education teachers and principals met In Clinton on Friday to hear Dr. Don Melchenbaum, Professor of Psychology at Waterloo. Dr. Meichenbaum addressed the topic of modification of learning styles, with par- ticular reference to the student with poor attention - focusing skills. This was the second of six Special Education meetings planned for the school year 1981/82. Future topics will include Direct Instruction Theory and Practice, Language Disorders Importance in Education, The Emotionally Troubled Child, and Math Remediation and Enrich- ment. In response to Bill 82, the special education bill which received Royal Assent on December 12, 1980, the Huron County Board of Education is beginning a series of meetings designed to develop four service plans for exceptional students. The term "exceptional" is used to describe any area of concern with respect to a child's educational programme, including giftedness, learning disabilities, mental retar- dation, physical handicaps and emotional handicaps. The four special education "plans" will describe programmes for four main areas of exceptionality: Trainable Retarded Pupils, Developmentally Handic- apped Persons, Residential Students in facilities and homes for special card, and Exceptional Pupils who are not trainable retarded. Boards of Education throughout Ontario will initiate this planning process, with completed plans to be presented to the Ministry of Education by May 1, 1982. The Huron County Board of Education has convened a Special Learning Needs Assessment Committee comprised of a Steering Committee, an Education sub -committee, and a Community subcommittee. This committee shall have responsibility for receiving information and suggestions regarding special education, and for developing the above mentioned plans. Members of the Special Learning Needs Assessment Committee are as follows:Steering - W.D. Kenwell, superintendent of education; Mrs. Sheila Clarke, co-ordinator, Student Services; Don Flnk- beiner, elementary; George Cull, secondary; Mrs. Mary Bere, special education; Bevan Lindsay, trainable mentally retarded; Roger Miller, (Liaison) Ministry 01 Education. Educational - W.D. Kenwell, superintendent of education; Mrs. Sheila Clarke, co-ordinator, Student Services; Mrs. Carol Simons, council for ex- ceptional children; John Mann, elementary prin- cipal; Mrs. Verna Kane, Federated Women Teacher Association of Ontario; Niall Straw, Ontario Public School Men Teachers Federation; Mrs. Shirley Weary, Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation; Bruce Shaw, secondary principal; Miss Elaine Bertrand, special education. Community - W.D. Ken - well, superintendent of education; Mrs. Sheila Clarke, co-ordinator, student service; Don Campbell, adult rehabilitation centre; Miss Marilyn Hohner, Ministry of Community and Social Services; Miss Sheila McCaffery, Family and Chlldrens Services; Thomas Ewer, Family Court; Miss Catherine Walsh, Health Unit; Don Keillor, Huron Centre for Children and Youth. The four plans will also be reviewed by the Special Education Advisory Com- mittee, composed of three members of the Board of Education, and four members of community organizations. Board members are: Jean Adams, Dr. J.C. Goddard, and Dennis Rau and non board members are: Barry Clogg, Mrs. Myrna Lovell, Mrs. Florence Reavfe, and Mrs. Pat Haskett. Following review by the Advisory Committee, the plans are than presented to The Board of Education for final approval, prior to submission to the Ministry of Education, Dr. B. Stephenson. Upon approval of a board's plans, special education programmes are expected 'to be in place by September 1, 1985. The Huron County Board of Education looks forward to further development of special education services and welcomes the op- portunity to share the design of the four plans with members the teaching staff and the community. As Mr. Don Kenwell, Superintendent of Education has noted, "An interesting, Informative, and challenging task awaits us." ice time would be about $85. He added that the Mohawks' games usually didn't have good crowds until the playoffs. Gary Birmingham suggested the minimum guaranteed should be the cost of the ice time. Willert said the Hawks and Mohawks' teams paid for their game icetime but were given free practise time. The Mohawks get about an hour he said, with the Hawks practising two to two and a half hours weekly on the weeks they don't play out of town games. The board voted to accept the flat rate for Mohawk season games with the split effective on playoff games. The Hawks will also be given the board's permission to distribute free coffee to seniors at a senior citizen's night, November 13. The board passed a recommendation from the facilities committee concer- ning a December 26 and 27 novice hockey tournament. Birmingham said the organizers did not want to use the hall and kitchen, but would pay a standard rate for ice time. The rec centre, Bir- mingham said, would supply food tickets to the players which would be redeemable for a hot dog and a drink or 50 cents value at the conces- sion booth. The minor hockey associa- tion will pay for the 50 cent tickets and the ice time, he said, while the • rec centre can profit from any ad- ditional sales at the conces- sion booth. Last year about 280 players and their parents took part in the tournament, Birmingham noted. Tables will be set up In the rec center foyer to eat at, and hockey mothers will help in the booth at peak periods he explained. The group will also be allowed to hold a bake sale from the minor hockey of- fice. In discussing part time help at the rec centre the board set the following pay rates: Casual (part-time) adult winter help in the arena will be paid tis per hour. The concession booth supervisor will be paid 14 per hour to work part-time as needed. The centre will be looking for helpers to run the coat check room at hall events. Willert said last year the people were paid an hourly rate with any revenue (gratuities) going to the cen- tre. He said it was proved last year that the coat check wouldn't cost the board money to operate. The board agreed to let area schools use afternoon ice time at no cost. • The board will be holding a luncheon meeting, Wednes- day, with the ministry of culture and recreation con- sultant Melanie McLaughlin. KEEPING SCORE — Marlene Moore was intent on checking off the sold items at Satur- day's Auction Bucks sale sponsored by The Exeter Business Improvement Association. THE MANAGEMENT OF ENERGY IN CANADA. ONE OFA SERIES. STARTING NOVEMBER 11981. CGSB�Q DECD � �l�S AE LOOK FOR THE CGSB SYMBOL BEFORE YOU HIRE AN INSULATION CONTRACTOR The vast majority of insulation firms are both capable and honest. But there have been cases of poor workmanship and even outright fraud. To help ensure good value for your insulation dollar, the Canadian General Standards Board has established a national certification program for residential insulation contractors. The contractors listed in the CGSB program certify to their clients that their quality of insulation workmanship meets the CGSB standard. Only those contractors listed in the CGSB certification program are authorized to use the CGSB symbol. USING A CONTRACTOR FOR CHIP? CGSB IS A MUST. CHIP (the Canadian Home Insulation Program) offers taxable grants of up to $500 to make your home better insulated and more airtight—if your house was built before January 1, 1961—whether you own or rent. After November 1, 1981, if you intend to apply for CHIP and have a contractor install the materials, you must use a contractor who is listed with the CGSB program. You won't be eligible for a grant otherwise. If you prefer to do it yourself and use CHIP only to assist with buying materials, that's fine. But remember, you must install the materials before applying for a CHIP grant. CHOOSE YOUR CONTRACTOR CAREFULLY The new CGSB certification program will do much to reduce the problem of poor quality work by insulation contractors, but don't stop there. You should further protect yourself in these ways: 1. Plan your home's energy savings by filling in the free Ener$ave 'Energy Analysis' questionnaire. Call the Ener$ave Heatline toll-free for your copy. Call toll free 1-800-267.9563. Ottawa/Hull residents call 995.1801. 2. Ask friends or neighbours to recommend a contractor. 3. Verify the contractor's CGSB listing number with your CHt,e office. Check the company's record with the Better Business Bureau or your provincial Consumer Affairs office. 4. Watch out for high-pressure sales techniques. 5. Compare costs. Get three estimates in writing which locate and specify the size of the area to be insulated, give the type of materials to be used and list their,RSI (or R) value. (RSI is the new metric rating for insulation). 6. Check your contractor for details such as CGSB listing number, the estimate of your home's existing RSI (or R) value, the RSI (or R) value of insulation to be added, and the recommended RSI (or R) value for your area. 7, Monitor the job. If possible, stay home while the work is being done. Don't be shy about asking the contractor questions. 8. Never sign a blank or partly filled-in contract or CHIP application form. It takes planning and comparison shopping to find good value for your insulation dollar. But it's in your best interest to do it right from the start. Get in touch with your CHIP office in Toronto to find out whether your home is eligible and how to apply.
