Discuss those PD days
By Susan White
Trustees of the Huron' Perth
Roman Catholic separate'
school board narrowly defeated
motion to keep the number of
p ofessional development days
wi hin the system to six, the
sa e as last year, instead of
the ten that director of
educ : tion, - John . Vintar
recom elided.
yr. ,Vintar gave board
members the dates:' and ten-
tative agendas for the days,
along with a list of what was
done in the system's PD days
last year. TIOays for this year
were set by a Committee of four'
. principals.
Trustees note that one day,
September 19, is the date of the
Stratford Fall Fahr. "What do
PD days have to d9 with fair-
s?" Wingham trust e William
Kinahan asked. There is a lot of
complaining in Wingham about
children not beingable to at-
tend the Teeswater Fali Fair,
he said, and suggested that
perhaps the board should take a
look at a lis4,.Of'area fairs.
The PD r-iy is on the'Strat-
ford Fall Fair day so that
children won't have to miss any
more school than necessary,
Stratford trustee Ron Marcy
said. Stratford pupils already
get a half day off to attend the
.fair. •
Mr. Vintar said the ministry
allows a maximum of 12 PD
days. He said the two adjacent
public boards are still working
on their dates, • so' the days
couldn't be co-ordinated,
"S-ometimes I feel we should
go where we're going .and not
always look. to the other,
boards", ' he said. . When
trustees -raised the question of
savings in busing and crossing
guard costs if the PD days were
the same in all three systems,
Mr. Vintar said "We're flexible
enough that we can make.

BY DAVE SYKES
If by chance a gentleman of colossal statuFe should saddle
up to the bar beside you and' demand in a husky voice that
the bartender serve up around of milk, please do not falloff
your bar stool.
It .has been hinted that proposed changes in liquor
regulations will require bars to serve a v5riety of drinks
which will include milk and coffee. It may be difficult to

' builder, but Ontario Federation of Agriculture president,
Gordon Hill believes that milk in the bar is a good idea, '
• "Bars are convenient, convivial places for people' to
congregate but alternatives to alcohol should be available, -
particularly in a highly mobile society that depends great.ly—
on the automobile," Hill said. •
The Addiction Research Foundation claims'that the trend
in the past few years has been toward going out to drink in a
bar or pub. T its is undoubtedly particularly true for younger
people^but it has also become more apparent that the older
people are beginning to follow this trend. '
"Alternative beverages are becoming more necessary as
more people visit bars and drive," Hill said. "Availability in •
bars should boost demand for milk.among adults."
But who knows: the strategy could pay off in the number
of people who will start drinking milk. If bars ,were the only
place that you could buy,m ilk it couldn't help but be a hit, but
then you would have to show your proof of age at the dairy.

"Do you see a need . for an
increase of four days over last
year!", Trustee Ted Geoffrey
of Zurich asked Elft. Vintar. Mr,
Vintar said he did.
PD days are, held at the
county, zone and school level.•.
Trustee Francis Hicknell asked
if there Wait a need for more
county • wide • days. - "Not
really," 1\,..;r, •Vintar replied..
"Specific areas, like the metric'
system, are better treated in
small groups," '
Trustee Shantz 'suggested
that the first PD day, scheduled
'for Sept. 8, he held the first day
of school, Sept. 2 'and "let the
kids stay home another day."
"We get a lot of flack on these
professional'• development
days", he said, and,'suggested
the flack would increase if
children were only in schooi
four days and then were off for.
a PD day.
. The September 8 PD day is to
organize the school placement
of children and trustee Ron
Marcy suggested that teachers
wouldn't know the problems of
individual students on the first
day of school. Mr. Vintar said
the first,day`of school had been
suggested as a PD day last
year, and the hoard had voted
it down:
Another PD day, for
reporting to parents, is
'scheduled for November 28.
"The majority of parents work
and can't get to school in mid•
.afternoon: Teachers will have
to come out at night even 11 it
means more work. We have to
get more communication
between teachers, parents and
the hoard.", Mr. Shantz said.
Trustee John O'Drowsky said
there are both'a"fiernoon and
.evening appointments- for
parents. Some can attend
during the day and some at
night, giving more time to both
groups, the director of
education suggested.
Mr. •$hantz'•s motion to limit
the PO days to six was defeated
by a vote of -5. A new motion
by Trustee Marcy to accept the
ten days as presented was
passed by a vote of six to five,
with Trustee Hicknell ab-
staining. , The vote was
recorded and for the ten days
were trustees Drowsky,
Kinahan, Connolly, -Crowley,
March and Haid. Voting aginst
were trustees Geoffrey, Looby,
Vere, Shantz and Fleming.
