They used common sense and did what they could when responding to a domestic disturbance. Their mandate was to minimize fami- ly violence by separating the com- batants. allowing a cooling -off period Four accidents in Lucan There were four motor vehicle ac- cidents investigated by the Lucan OPP last week.

On the 2nd. students were asked to set up their projects, and on the 3rd, had to sit around and get judged. Two judges would come around and talk to you and judge your project. There were a few winners from our school and they were John -Paul Maurer and Dwayne Mellin (Grade 6), Tim Bird, Chad Miller and Jamie Brand (Grade 8). It was a lot of fun and is good ex- perience. -Dania Thurman Easter Assembly - On Thursday April 4. the children of Stephen Cen- tral put on an Easter Assembly for students and parents. That day the kindergarten class recited a verse about spring. Also the grade 1 students dressed up as Easter [Allies and Chris Lynn played the part of the Easter bunny.

Our student teacher will be with us for thy month of April. Miss Cruikshank went to the University of Western Ontario for 4 years and studied Phys. Ed. -and History. Now she is studying at Althouse College. She said she would teach any grade. but would really like to teach from Grade 5 up. Miss Cruikshank said it is no fun going to college and that being able to teach is better. She also said that you learn a lot more. Besides teaching us she has taught at three other schools. - Laura Draisey Tapestry Singers - On April 19. the grade 6, 7 and 8 students are going to J.A.D. McCurdy School to hear a group called the Tapestry Singers. They were supposed to go on February 19. but because of a winter storm the performance was cancell- ed. I hope they will all enjoy it. - Jen- nifer Robertson Crests - Each Grade 5 has done a crest. All were very good. Mrs. Deelstra had shown an example to all the students. Carrie Finkbeiner brought her family crest and she ex- plained what it meant. I am sure that everyone enjoyed doing the crests. - Carrie Finkbeiner, Dwayne Finkbeiner Easter Survey - Seven people at our school told us about a few things they got for Easter. They got Easter eggs and Easter bunnies. One student got some clothes. The people interview- ed were Jeff Ratz, Dwayne Hayter. Scott Eagleson, Greg Clarke, Leanne Dundas and Lisa Eagleson. They told us they were very happy with their surprises. - Greg Clarke, Scott Eagleson Me, The Thing - Room 9 made story booklets. The title of the booklet was "Me. The Thing". First, each person had to choose what they wanted to be. Kelly chose to be a ring. Each story told what the person was, where they were found. who owned them,the best part and the worst part about being that thing. Then each person drew a picture with markers and coloured with crayons- A picture of each student's face was pasted on the thing they were. Room 9 wrote another story about their thing. It was an adventure. The stories and pictures were put in a cover. The cover was a weaving the class made last fall. The booklets were displayed in the classroom and are now on display in the library. This is Gail Brownlee's story: The "thing" I would most like to be is a ring. 1 can usually be found in my Mom's jewelry box in her bedroom. The hest part of being a ring is being beautiful. The worst part of being a ring is that 1 can get lost easily because 1 am small. and possibly suggesting reconcilliation. Rarely would policemen attempt crisis intervention (a short-term type of counselling process which defuses stress to the extent that the client can begin, usually with professional help, to work at the roots of his or her pro- blems). They didn't have the skills, the inclination or the specialized training. In addition, social service agencies or "helping" professionals weren't as available or visible in the communi- ty. Most "front-line" policemen were unaWare of the appropriate human/social resources to contact or to refer the victims of family violence to. Times -have changes. Like the bat- tlefield medic, our police personnel are increasingly being trained to pro- vide, not just protection, not just law enforcement, but counselling refer- rals, emotional "first aid" and follow- up contact. This ensures that the citizens with whom they have come into contact at a domestic disturbance have the opportunity to get real help to solve their problems. The public is better served, the police are called back fewer times to the same homes and are safer from having violence re -directed at them. Both police and community, not to mention the fami- ly, ultimately benefit. The police service, because of its availability to the community on a 24-hour per day basis, is the only organization readily available to per- sons in need. Witha mandate to main- tain public -peace and order, it naturally assumes the role of catalyst to improve its services to match the changing needs of society. If the police are to be these agents of social change, they must come to fully appreciate the various social, cultural, and political differences that prevail in our society and how these factors interact to make the role of the police in modern society a difficult and challenging one. - Their education and training must 5 -year Scout pin for Cromarty man By MRS. ROBERT LAING Bill Cameron was presented with his five-year pin for his work in scouting at the Perth District annubl meeting in St. Marys on Thursday evening. Also attending from Cromarty Scouts were Rhea Cameron, Twyla Waddell, Margaret Schrader, Ruth Laing, Sandra Kemp, Bill and Verle Malon and Roger Rice. Six Boy Scouts, Jason McCaughey, Hugh Norris, Jasson Christie, Brian Waddell, Michael Dow and John Wilkinson passed their First Aid Bronze Stage tests recently. The Beavers were entertained recently by Donna Waddell and her three baby goats. serve to sensitize them to the necessi- • ty for mutually supportive police - public relationships. A program of continuing education becomes an in- creasingly valuable asset . to each plice officer's career development as well as to the community. Such train- ing can only assist the officer to app- ly the law with empathetic common sense and compassion. To quote the Honourable Robert Kaplan, former Solicitor General of Canada, "If we can reduce the level of family violence in Canada, we will be doing much more than protec- ting family members. Violence often is a tactic used by individuals who have not developed an acceptable civilized personal strategy for coping with their feelings or hostility and agression. All of us, in circumstances which are frustrating, have these feel- ings. They are part of life in the community. "The violent are usually those who have not learned how to handle these feelings, to channel them into harmless or even positive and produc- tive behavior. In case after case we find a batterer, who was himself a battered child. This suggests that -even the strategy of violence itself is learned, passed on to children to use in their own human relations, inside the family and outside. If we can reduce family violence. we will also reduce violence in the larger society." Seamless EAVESTROUGH ALUMINUM and .;.
