Will it cross farm land or the industrial park? Should standard towers be used, or more expensive, narrow-based towers? These are some of the problems tobe solved in a new simulation game, developed jointly by geography teachers and Ontario Hydro for Ontario high schools. Students are divided into groups to represent economic, environmen­ tal and social concerns with the q 1 -xO .i£ I 1-8dk-00b-1 Continued from page 1 about 70 per cent of all homemaking services in the province. Other organizations which will receive provincial funding to offset their operating deficits areTownand Country Homemakers of Huron County, the Visiting Homemakers Association of Ottawa, the Victorian Order of Nurses (Guelph, Welling­ ton and Dufferin), the Visiting Homemakers Association of Toron­ to, and Central Neighbourhood House and Senior Care, both of Toronto. Jean Young, Executive Director of Town and Country Homemakers and the president of the Ontario Associa­ tion of Visiting Homemaker Service (OAVHS), said that the promised funding will help maintain home­ making services in the short term, but charges that a long-term solution will not be^ossible until the province implements its own report calling for higher wages and benefits for Ontario’s 4,800 homemakers, most of them women. Mrs. Young acknowledges that the greatest problem facing Town and Country Homemakers, as well as all other non-profit homemaking services, is the serious provincial underfunding which currently pro­ vides the workers with an hourly wa^littlebetterthan minimum, creating a high rate of turnover in Ontario’s healthy job market. She said that Town and Country now has 185 homemakers on staff, but has lost 137 others between last January and now. In addition, Mrs. Young says that while provincial funding has risen to keep pace with inflation over the past few years, it does not provide for the increase in the minimum wage announced IastOctober, or in the spiralling costs of employee benefits and workmen’s compensation, and in transportation and other agency operating costs. Town and Coun­ try’s transportation costs alone have risen from 39 cents per hour a year ago to 88 cents per hour now, she' said partly because of a reduction in the time each homemaker is spend­ ing with a client. Town and Country homemakers are paid at an hourly rate for providing client services, but not for travel time between clients, and this cuts back in their wages because of the large distances they often have to travel in the rural community. Following Monday’s demonstra­ tion, Mr. Sweeney promised to Fireproof your babysitter Does your babysitter know what to Crime Stoppers and the Exeter Police Force are seeking your assistance to help locate a male flasher. On December 5, 1988 a lone male entered the Beckers Store on Main St. in Exeter. It was approximately 9:05 p.m. when the man started reading through the magazine rack. After about 10 minutes of looking through the magazines he followed the store clerk into thebackfoom where she was doing some work. The suspect entered the room with a maga­ zine covering his groin area, he then pulled away the cover and exposed his genitals and began to fondle them in front of the store clerk. The clerk began to do in case of fire? Before you leave a sitter with your most precious possession - your children - make sure they know their way around your home, and where the exits are. Make sure that they understand that their first and only important responsibility is to get the children and themselves out of the home. Be sure too, that they know the address and exact location of your home, in case they do need to summon fire, police, ambulance, or other assistance. This information should be posted by the telephone, along with emergency telephone numbers. proposed transmission line route. A fourth group is nominated to be the Ontario Joint Hearings Board -- those who will make the final decision on the route after listening to all concerns. The exercise was developed in response to teachers’ requests for a learning tool that would help explain Ontario’s public hearings process­ es. The game draws on Ontario Hydro’s experience in planning and getting approval for transmission lines in eastern and in southwestern Ontario. . , ,I -XU . .MCV-CXC confer with his colleagues in both the Ministry of Health and the Treasury in an attempt to provide a solution to the crisis, but added that “rhe trick will be” to find new money in a budget which already spends more than $370 per year on services for the frail elderly and the disabled.
