COLDITON - An
infeemal ntIrement
pany was
held Saturday
afternoon for one
of the last origi-
nal teachers at
Stephen Central
Public School.
Past and present staff, students
-and friends dropped by Exeter's
Masonic Hall to bid farewell to Jay
'Skillender. She will be retiring at
`Rhe end of June after 40 years of
teaching. '
More than half those years were
spent at Stephen Central, she said
in an earlier' bw. "1 started
teaching at the liana when it

tlong"
Before settling in Huron County,
Skillender taught in Pembroke, To-
ronto, Sarnia and London. She then
went to Europe for three years.
That trip proved beneficial when
she retuned to Canada and accept-
ed the position at Stephen Central
as a primary teacher.
"They had just started new math
and metric, she said. "It was easy
for me to adapt because I used it in
Europe."
Adapting to change has been an
ongoing process throughout her
teaching career as new methods
and leChnology emerged.
"There was more emphasis on
formal grammar and the programs
were more strummed," she said of
the earlier years.
But an added boRtiiillbillillifters
in more recent yearslitbeen the
introduction of c011111118,s, Skil-
lender said. "The manias look for-
ward to class time when they can
use the computer for math drills or
story writing.
"There are now enough comput-
ers available at the school for each
student, so they can be used more
effectively as a teaching tool."
Parent volunteers and teaching
assistants, she said, have also been

effective in the teaching process.
One change Skillender would
like to see is in class site. Prefer-
ably smaller. "You need to work
with them in small groups," she
said.
One thing that hasn't changed
over the past forty years, Skillender
said, is the student,. "Kids are still
the same."
As the school year winds down
Skillender has began. planning for
her retirement. But she doesn't ex-
pect to have any free time in the
near future.
Skillender intends to Dome back
to Stephen Central as a volunteer
next year. She also wants to take
computer courses and develop her

About a half billion dollars are spent on antacids In
North America each year. To get the best effect,
take your antacid on a full stomach, 1-2 hours after
a meal. Acid neutralization will last for up to 3
hours. On an empty stomach, it will last only about
1/2 hour.
Speaking of acid... Heartburn is caused by a refluxing or moJement of
stomach contents backup the esophagus, that tube from the mouth to

raise the head of your bed about 6 inches. Wooden blocks or books
