Clinton News-Record, 1981-11-25, Page 3Board busy with bill 82
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
CLINTON - Plains for implementation of
Bill 82 on special education are to be
completed by May 1, 1962 and with that
goal in mind, Huron County Board of
Education has been busy.
Previously, established committees
have held meetings for the purpose of
determining the needs of special education
in Huron County.
Superintendent W.D. Kenwell told
trustees that two of 25 forms to be filled
have been completed. Hesaid in-service
training of teachers and principals is
currently underway.
Information to assist in implementing
the special education bill is still being
received, with meetings between ad-
ministration staff and Ministry of
Education being held regularly.
Superintendent Kenwell said once the 25
forms are comnleted, a better un-
derstanding of what will be required to
implement Bill 82 in Huron County would
be possible.
When asked about special education at
secondary school levels, Mr. Kenwell said
not as much has been done as at the
elementary level. He cited lack of money
and a preference for starting at the
elementary level as two reasons.
It was noted that superintendents of
business would be having a meeting with
Ministry officials regarding details of
funding.
In other business, the board supported
Ontario Public School Trustees'
Association (OPSTA) in its bid to stop the
Ontario Energy Board from making Union
Gas stop its group billing arrangement.
The board currently has this arrangement
with Uriion Gas and if stopped could cost
the board an additional $6,000;

the middle
The board ticcepted the tender of Smith -
Peat Roofingand Sheet Metal of $38,000 for
work on South Huron District High School.
It was the lowest tender:
Two novels Avalanche by Arthur Roth
and Desert Chase by Kathryn Storey Sant
were approved for use in elementary
schools and The Strange One by Fred
Bodsworth for use in secondary schools.
The board also endorsed a drug abuse
prevention program with assistance from
local police forces in elementary schools.

if they find their area is being studied for a
site, said Mr. Elston.
He said cottage owners are concerned
about "loss of their cottage land values"
and residents throughout his riding fear
environmental damage from such a facili-
ty.
Mr. Elston is -seeking meetings with Dr.
Chant and Mr. Norton to obtain more infor-
mation about the search for a new site.
In the legislature on Monday, Mr. Nor-
ton rejected a suggestion by Brian
Charlton (NDP -Hamilton Mountain) to
hold a full-scale environmental assess-
ment when the next site is located.
The public hearings held by the Ontario
Waste Management Corp before rejecting
South Cayuga did the job, said Mr. Norton,
and that procedlare can work again. He
also rejected Mr. Charlton's suggestion
that four or five possible sites be studied
rather than one, so that alternatives would
be available if the first choice is again re-
jected.
I couldn't help 'it, I felt guilty. There
he was, (my new husband,) laboring
over the button on his coat, while I, (the
new wife) relaxed on the couch in front
of the television.
I really did offer to help, but he
willingly said he could sew a button on a
coat. How could I argue?
It's really not easy being liberated
and it certainly not easy having a very
domestic, meticulous husband. Like the
pot scrubbing incident, he and the SOS
Pad were really battling those black
marks.
"When was the last time you
scrubbed this pot," he sweated.
"Oh those marks won't come off,
they've been there for years," I guiltily
grinned.
"Why don't you put the big bottles on
one shelf and the smaller jars on
another," he suggested as a remedy to
my somewhat disorganized
refrigerator.
"Well I was just trying • to ac-
commodate° your beer bottles," I
defended.
I tell him that I'm liberated, I'm a
career woman, I simply don't have the
time or the intention to devote myself to
routines of housework. But he knows
I'm lying.
I simply can't beat him. He's
organized, he's domestic. He cleans
better, washes better, irons better,
vacuums better, could probably even
cook better if I let him have a chance.

But the stove is my last domain, the last
chance to redeem myself in my
husband's eyes. I'm banking on the
theory that the way to a man's heart is
through is stomach, And as long as
Mum's sure-fire recipes hold up I may
save this marriage.
Still it's not easy. I was raised in good
old farm family fashion, where mother
managed the household affairs and
father looked after the farm business. It
was the way my grandparents were
raised, . my great grandparents, and
generations before them too.
Even today the female members of
our family get a great charge out of
Dad's occasional attempts to dry' the
dishes. It's still a novelty around the
McPhee. house and an amazing ac-
complishment in our eyes. _ 1
Roles are constantly changing these
days. With both partners pursuing
fulltime careers, it's nearly impossible
for the female -half to carry all the
housework as well. Often she too has an
outside 9 am to 5 pm job, must work
late, attend evening meetings, deal
with personnel and management
decisions. And she is just too by the end
of a long work day.
Still it's not easy being liberated. It's
hard to ignore years of tradition and
education. It's hard • to watch your
husband slave over one tiny button,
while you enjoy the latest episode of
Knots Landing. But I'll learn.

Safe driving a year round
affair, not one week a year
Traffic deaths during Safe
Driving Week have been
consistently lower than the
toll taken by traffic collisions
during the rest olthe year.
The December 1-7 period
has become recognized as
the yearly period when the
attention of Canadians is
concentrated on the need to
prevent traffic accidents.
The question raised by
many observers is why the
reduction of traffic deaths
during the campaign can't
be sustained througout the
year. In answer to this
question, the Canada Safety
Council promotes defensive
driving as the proven
technique to reduce traffic
accidents, a method of
doubling the motorist's
chances of avoiding an ac-
cident.
The formula, based on
"recognize the hazard,
understand the defence and
act in time", as taught in the
Defensive Driving Course,
can be applied to the
greatest traffic dangers.
Drinking is a hazard. For
example, one out of every
two drivers involved in a
fatal crash had been
drinking: The defence is not
to drive after heavy
drinking. After moderate
drinking, the driver should
allow approkimately one
hour for each alcoholic drink
or bottle of beer before
driving. The drinking driver
is a deadly hazard on the
road. For safety—DON'T
DRINK AND DRIVE!
Another big hazard is
ejection from the vehicle
following a collision. Every
year, nearly6,000 Canadians
die from traffic accidents.
The defence is wearing seat
belts. If every driver wore
his or her seat belt, half of
these lives could be saved.
BUCKLE UP!
Remember Safe Driving
Week all year 'round .and
drive defensively!
