country where there is a mingling of
the ancient and modern ways of liv-
ing and working. Much of the work in
the rural area is quite primitive, but
in the cities there are modern offices,

Korea has just one language,

about 90 percent. Story telling thrives
in their country, and much of their

RC board's big thrust
to assist gifted students
The Huron -Perth Roman Catholic
separate school board's major thrust
in special education in the 1985-86
school year will be to provide an
enrichment program for gifted
students.
The annual review and approval of
the board's special education plan
was done on April 8. Superintendent
of education Gaeten Blanchette said
there will be no increase or decrease
to staff this year.
"We'll maintain what we present-
ly have," said Blanchette.
Now, for special education in Huron
Perth separate schools, there is one
special education co-ordinator, 15.8
special education teaching positions,
11.8 resource withdrawal teaching
contained classes, one enrichment
teacher, one speech language
pathologist, three teacher's aides and
a part time psychologist.
In its focus on the enrichment
students, talent pools for each school
will be made. Blanchette said the
talent pools will be made up of
students who score above 85 percent
in two intelligence testing tests.
There will be general enrichment
for all students which will include

The pastoral care program of South
Huron Hospital has been expanded to
include a 24 hour on-call program.
Nine local clergy have volunteered
their services to provide pastoral care
whenever needed.
Each clergy will be on-call for a one
week time period - 24 hours each day.
Situations in which pastoral care can
be utilized are: when a patient dies
( in hospital, or is brought in and pro-
nounced dead), when a patient's con-
dition takes a turn for the worse.
emergency or trauma situations
where the patient and/or family
needs support.
Clergy -on-call are also available to
minister to hospital staff needs in
situations such as the ones listed
above.
Pastoral care at South Huron
Hospital has always respected and
tried to enhance the relationship bet-
ween patients and their own clergy
(or faith of their choice). For this
reason, when pastoral care is needed
and the person's own clergy is known:
an attempt is made to contact that
member of clergy. if the clergy is
unknown or unavailable, then the
clergy -on-call is contacted to minster
in the situation.
Meanwhile. South Huron Hospital
continues to have the services of a
part-time chaplain who ministers to
staff and patients two days a week.
'The chaplain is also a liaison between

it was this steering committee which
led to the agency's formation. •
As an aside. the first meeting of the

creative problem -solving techniques
and critical thinking skills.
Talent pool students go one step fur-
ther by being involved in such ac-
tivities as option programs in creative
writing, painting and astronomy.
Blanchette said the "gifted"
students will go on further to be in-
volved in activities with a small
number of other gifted students from
Huron and Perth. These activities are
expected to take place only twice a
year and are dependent upon
transportation funding from the
ministry of education.
