Big looks to
business for support
Wingharn's newly-for:Med' Big
Brothers chapter is looking for sup-
port from the local business Com-
munity.
om-
mu Cheryl Miller of Goderich, execu-
tive director of the North Huron
Big Brothers Association and Dave
Shaw, president of the Wingham
and area branch, were guests of the
Wingham Business Association at
its monthly meeting last week.
Mrs. Miller, who has a social
work background, said Big Broth-
ers was started in 1929 in the Unit-
ed States and its first Canadian
chapter began in 1931.
Although Big Brothers was
formed in Huron County, several
years ago, it is just in the past year
that it has started to flourish again
with committees operating in many
county towns.
The Wingham committee has
gone "full tilt", Mrs. Miller report-
ed and currently has three "Lititle
Brothers" on a list waiting to be
matched with their Big Brothers.
These Little Brothers are between
the ages of six and 17 and have no
male influence k the house.
The Big and Little Brothers do
individual and group actin�, ret she
said, adding that Big, Brothers are
asked to spend at least one-hour
each week with their Little Broth-
ers. Activities can be as varied as
going to a Blue jay game to wash-
ing the car to taking a walk along
the beach.
In addition to looking for men
who would be interested in becom-
ing Big Brothers, Mrs. Miller said
businesses could be called upon
from time to time for donations. For
example, a business might be asked
to donate drinks or treats for a Big
Brothers activity.
The Wingham Legion Branch
also has been generous in its dona-
tions to the local Big Brothers chap-
ter.
The Wingham group has a `goat
of five Big and Little Brother match-
es its first year, but "once word gets
out, there will be mom," predicted
Mr. Shaw.

The Huron County Board of Edu-
cation currently is studying a pm-
posal to see the school year extend-
ed to 12 months from the current 10
months.
The 12 -month school year has
long been a vague notion discussed
in Ontario education circles, but
due to overcrowded schools in
metropolitan areas and the need for
school boards to get maximum use
out of their buildings and
resources, this issue now is being
examined earnestly
For this reason, the HuronCoun-

Graeme Craig, education com-
mittee chairman and trustee for
Seaforth and McKillop Township, ,
says his corpmittee will be looking,
at the ministry study as early as
October, but doesn't see year-round
education as a pressing issue here.
"It's mere of a concern in • high-
growth areas that need maximum
use of their buildings, but that
impact will affect us eventually,"
explained Mt. Craig. "You think

The trustee says the committee
will be seeing if it agrees with the
recommendations in the ministry of
education report on, 12 -month
school years and the board proba-
bly will make its • conclusions
known to the° appropriate govern-
ment agencies or individuals. a
Mr. Craig explained that as early
as 1991, there will be pilot projects
organizedin metropolitan_ areas to
test the full -year schooling .system,
based on. both three; and four-

committee will be looking a"are
schools in the Alted States which
have switched to'a 12-month'ac t o1
year. .
Staffing, enrollment, transporta-
tion, curriculuirt and "just• about
every education is$u" will be
looked at by the ccintmittee and
other factors outside schools will
have to ,be considered. Extending,
the school Year by two •.month§
would have social arid economic
impacts.
The education committee intends
to consult with the public andlook
into issues _such as part-time
employment, effects on the agricul-
ture industry and effects - on
tourism.
"It's not a rush decision, that's
for sure," Mr. Craig concluded.
MINISTRY REPORT
The Select Committee on Educa-
tion was struck in February of 1988
to examine the goals and philoso-
phy of education: Its second report,
issued at Queen's Park in. June, is
the focus of theHCBE's discussion.
The select committee heard from
various groups with concerns about
the semester systein. The commit-
tee learned that capital expansion
has not kept up to need and an
extended school year would allow
for better use of school buildings.
"It: appears that the 10 -month
school year was established at the
end of the last century in response

to the economic needs of an agricul-

required to work on the farm dur-
ing the summer months," says the
report, adding that the rationale for
keeping this ,schedule today is not
clear.
It states that, in . determining the
length and organization of the
school year and day that optimum
student learning must be the prime
consideration. •

In Canadian provinces, there is a
range of 187 to 203 days. Of these,
two to 11 days are set aside for pm-
fessional development. In Ontario,
the school year is 194 days, of
which up to nine may be profes-
sional activity days.
The length of the school day
varies from 4.6 hours in Japan to 5.0
in England and the U.S, and
between 5.5 and 6.0 in several Euro-
pean countries. The length of the
school day in most Canadian
provinces. is '5.Oi10 5:5 hours with a

In Ontario regulations specify
that not less than five hours be
spent in school excluding recesses

Fall promotion
to run two nights
Moonlight Shell -Out, Wingham's
fall shopping promotion, will run
over two nights this year rather
than the usual one.
The :mater,-wasdiscussed:briefly
at last .week's monthly Wingham
Business Association me
Sandra Jamieson, repo 'for
the association's Retail Advertising
and Special Events (RASE) Com-
mittee, said the cost of advertising
for a one-night promotion was a
factor in the decision to run the sale
over two nights this year. Other
reasons cited for the change ,were
increased sales and wider market
a M Jamieson said the committee
is proposing that the. sale run from
7 to 11 p.m. both nights.
Almanac predicts
a mild winter
The Farmers' Almanac, that trea-
sury of homespun wisdom, is re-
dicting a mild winter with less
snow than usual. It also is predict-
ing a pleasant summer in 1990, but
with only moderate rainfall.
For the past 56 years, Ray Geiger
has been editor of the Farms'
Almanac and this is son Peter's
12th year as co-editor. The 1990 edi-
tion features a larger type face to
make the Almanac more easily
read.,.
In addition to, the usual "cap-
sules of wisdom" and weather fore-
casts, the 1990 Almanac also fea-
tures a long look at- the "loony",
