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.

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

ceptional children; John

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

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.

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.
