Students play planning game
What route should a planned
electricity transmission line take?
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

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.

tion, Mr. Sweeney promised to

On December 5, 1988 a lone
male entered the Beckers Store

approximately 9:05 p.m. when
the man started reading

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

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
