Kinderoo is a school readiness program for chil- dren ages three to five, which originated back in 2005 as a replacement pro- gram for School's Cool. The program was developed by Julie Talbot, to help ease the transition from home to Kindergarten. The original logo was designed by Julie's daughter, Holly Clarke, and was replaced this year with a new logo to commemo- rate the tenth anniversary. Originally offered in only two locations, the program has now grown to four loca- tions (Goderich, Wingham, Clinton and Exeter) with six full classrooms set to start July 7. "Over the past ten years, I have seen the Kinderoo program change and grow to continuously meet the changing needs of our community. I am impressed with how the program has been man- aged and facilitated. I am happy to see that Rural Response for Healthy Chil- dren continues on with the good work they do and that they continue to meet the needs of families in Huron County," said Julie Talbot MSW, RSW. Kinderoo is dedicated to providing parents and chil- dren a positive first introduc- tion to the school environ- ment. With this initial positive experience, parents are more likely to take an active role in their children's education. As well, the expo- sure to the structure and routines of the school envi- ronment will foster a sense of confidence in the children as they approach their first day of school. Kinderoo's philosophy is grounded in children having fun and learning through play. The pro- gram supports and strengthens a child's self- awareness, confidence and self-esteem. These attributes aid in the tran- sition from home and increases a child's success in school. Not only does Kinderoo provide junior and senior kindergarten children with an opportunity to experience what kinder- garten will be like but also provides college and uni- versity students an oppor- tunity to start working towards their career goals. Rural Response for Healthy Children has had the honour of having many college and univer- sity students with remark- able knowledge and skills employed in the Kinderoo program. These students have played a large part in building this program into something so many fami- lies want their children to be a part of. Over the past 10 years, Kinderoo has had 800 children graduate from this valuable program. This summer 102 children will graduate from the Kinderoo school readiness program. It has grown to become one of Rural Response for Healthy Children's well-known and valued programs. It is beneficial not only for the children but for parents and teachers too.

OPP NEWS Central Huron A 25 -year-old driver from Guelph will have to attend court in Goderich after she was arrested for impaired driving. On June 5, 2015 at approxi- mately 10:10 p.m. a Huron County Ontario Provin- cial Police (OPP) officer observed the driver of a Buick sedan make a wide turn onto Huron Road at the west end of Clinton. The officer followed the Buick westbound on Huron Road and watched as the vehicle swerved over the fog line and centre line on several occasions. The officer stopped the vehicle at the intersection of Huron Road and Falls Road to check on the con- dition of the driver as it was suspected the driver may have been impaired. Upon speaking with the driver the officer observed an open beer can in the vehicle. Upon further inves- tigation the investigating officer observed the driver to be displaying several signs that she was impaired by alcohol. The driver was placed under arrest for Impaired Driving and was then transported to the Exeter OPP Detachment for breath tests. She pro- vided two samples of her breath to a qualified Intox- ilizer Technician and both of her tests were above the legal limit. As a result, 25 -year-old Jade Biglow from Guelph has been charged with Impaired Driving & Drive Motor Vehicle — over 80 mil- ligrams of alcohol. She now has a court appearance scheduled for the Ontario Court of Justice Goderich on July 6, 2015. She also received an automatic 90 day driver's licence suspen- sion and her motor vehicle has been impounded for seven days.
