Place light
• in memory
THE EDITOR,
The Christmas season is
about to break forth with
parties, concerts, carol sings,
family gatherings, gift
purchasing and sharing,
keeping surprises.
For many this time of year
also brings out the painful
memories of loved ones who
have left us, laving us alone,
lonely, weary and hurting.

THE EDITOR,
This letter is to the people
who missed out on the CD

Lori and I decided to go and
support Joshua on Friday
evening, not sure what we
were in for, but we saw the
most amazingly talented
young singer and guitar

Open letter to MPP Carol
Mitchell,
Dear Mrs. Mitchell,
I am a lifelong supporter of
the Liberal party, but that
time is over. I will note vote
liberal in the next election.
The reason is the neglect of
delightful, not overly loud,
and the singing was great.
If you ever have a chance to
go see Joshua live or purchase
his CD, be sure not to miss
out. He is an extremely-gifted
individual coming from our
hometown Brussels.
Keep playing Joshua.
Hopefully we can get him
to play in Brussels soon.

But when it comes to the
intensity and the requirement
to achieve certain standards,
she suggested such programs
don't rival those provided by
qualified teachers under an
established Education ministry
curriculum.
As for industries making
room in their training
programs for students hoping
to earn credits, she added, "the
private industry has always
wanted in on the public
education funding . . . This has
always been a fight for the
OSSTF."

Cairncross says programs don't
equal those of ed. curriculum
Under the original Bill 52,
the Education ministry had the
authority • to approve
"equivalent credit" programs,
without involving the school
boards. Under the amended
bill, which was reduced from
20 pages to six, the proposed
list of alternative providers has
been removed, and the
authority for deciding what
qualifies as an "equivalent
credit" has been shifted to
school boards and high school
principals.
That doesn't completely
eliminate " the possible
involvement of 4-H at some
level, but it most likely reduces
that possibility considerably.
"That's what we wanted,"
said Cairncross, adding
"hopefully now, the bill will
serve the purpose for which it
was intended while
maintaining the high quality of
the OSSD."
