The fetter questioned the difference in the sewage meter and pump hours and the amount billed. Ash Shah at- tended in place of Andrew Orr who was absent although he had requested the meeting with the ministry. The main concern was why the primary rate increased by 5 per cent and secondary rate did not increase. Shah explained that the primary system was in a deficit position and should have increased even more. The primary includes the main pumping station, lines from it to the lagoon and the lagoon. The secondary system includes other pumping sta- tions located in Grand Bend and the lines in Grand Bend. Reeve Bob Sharen explained that the secondary rate was of no concern to the Township of Stephen or Ridge Pine Park. It is paid by the village on- ly, while the primary one is paid by Grand Cove and Grand—Bend -- together. The rates in the village will remain the same per household for another year, because Grand Bend had a surplus in the sewer account. it was suggested to Stephen Reeve Allan Walper and Clerk -treasurer WilmarWein, present at this meeting. that they should charge an extra amount to create a cushion for the system in case unexpected expenses should arise. 'the village of Grand Bend and. Stephen township planned to meet with MOE annually to review the system. _, Both Ways On Sunday morning Mc. and Mrs. Chris Steele, Grand Cove Estates, transferred their United Church membership to Grand Bend from Lindsay. Idella Gable played the organ for the special music by the choir "We Thee, Amen'' and for "Be Careful Little Tongue What You Say" for the children's time. Joan Eagleson read the scriptures from Ezekiel and Ephesians, wherein Rev. Peebles named his topic "Old Fashioned and Up -to Date" as he ex- plained that a person could be both. Next Sunday, May 5, the Stephen Central School Choir will be singing at the QBUC. See M. Desjardine for the daily vacation Bible school update. W.I. Meet On Thursday. the GB Women's In- stitute held their monthly meeting for the year-end. All the conveners gave Teachers told to show care Children who are continually told they are no good end up believing it. a professor of psychology says. "Once the message gets laid down. it's tough to change," said John Theis. a professor at Sl. Jerome's University in • Waterloo. He was the key note speaker at the Huron -Perth Roman Catholic separate school board's pro- fessional development day in St, Marys. The professor told the teachers to go out and give honest praise to the students pointing out that children can identify genuine praise. The professor's talk was on "self- esleem", but he saw it as a chance to tell teachers of the role they play in forming the self-esteem of students. "Show a minimal amount of car- ing."said Theis. Ile admitted that it could be tough to be empathetic and caring to 35 children a day. especially when teachers may have their own worries or concerns at home. "But doesn't it make sense to try'.'" he asked. Another speaker at the day -long event was Ed Krupica of Hamilton. Ile conducted a workshop on teaching children from one parent families. As Catholics. he said the teachers have to provide respect. solidarity. understanding and practical help for children from one parent families. With Krupica were .Iohn Duheau and Teresa Goodall. both the head of one parent families. The two talked about their personal divorce ex- perience and how the school fit in. Dubeau said when a family is in the middle of a divorce. or even after- wards. the only thing that remains stable for the children is school'. He mentioned some of the ex- periences his children have gone through in the hopes that the teachers wouldn't repeat them. Once, a teacher had the children whose parents were divorced. raise their hands. Then the leacher asked the students whose parents had an an- nulment to keep their hands up. The children were left with the impression that unless their parents had an an- nulment they weren't good Catholics. which is wrong said Mr. Deheau. The family studies co-ordinator for the•local separate school board. Ron (.lidding said a lot of teachers attend- ed that workshop and there will pro- bably be more of its kind in future professional development days. Going away ?...
