Lewis said he has in- structed his solicitor Stephen Garrod of Guelph to launch an immediate appeal with a divi- sional court. He went on to say, "Our original appeal which was ap- parently disallowed had nothing to do with the landfill site. It concerned our licence and the area from which we could collect garbage." If his appeal to a divisional court is rejected Lewis said his next step is to go to the Ministry of the Environment. Failing that he would make application for a new licence. In addition to his original statement Lewis said, "There were many fantasies and fairy tales told at the hearing. I can assure you that if we hear any more lies or un- truths regarding our landfill site, anyone making false statements will be prosecuted." Lewis contends his present licence allows him to accept garbage trom anywhere in Ontario. He added, "We will take garbage from anywhere until directed to stop by the courts. We will bring all gar- bage we now collect to our own landfill site. Presently we take some to other Locations. In addition, Lewis said, "We will bid on any contract. I am upset that our tender in Ailsa Craig was not accepted. it was about $1,800 lower than the one theytook. Ailsa Craig is too small a village to lose $1,800 in a contract." Lewis -contends the Ontario Environment Ministry was not trying to have the landfill site closed. In fact at the hear- ings which began in May of 1983, the ministry's district of- ficer Jim Jarse said the site was environmentally sound and in recent years at least has been operated properly. .The original -appeal - was , based on the ministry's declaration that the Lewis licence allowed him only to accept garbage from Bid- dulph, Lucan and Parkhill. Answer questions on school curriculum This second article on OSIS deals with the compulsory credits and the need for students -in grade 8 to make sound selections, with a brief review of what is involved in the three levels of difficulty. 1. Does OSIS mean that if my child does not get the 16 compulsory credits, he or she cannot receive an Ontario Secondary School Diploma? No. In order to ensure that all students can qualify for the O.S.S.D., Secondary School principals may substitute among the com- pulsory credits as follows: 1. Up to two compulsory credits may be replaced by additional courses from the remainder of those listed as compulsory. Parental ap- proval of such a substitution shall be provided in writing. Each substitution shall be noted on the Ontario Student Transcript. 2. In order to meet the special needs of some exceptional pupils, the Secondary School principal may reduce the 16 com- pulsory credits by a max- imum of 4; that is, the stu- dent's program could include a minimum of 12 compulsory credits within the 30 required for diploma purposes. The sum of compulsory and elec- tive credits shall not be less than 30 in order to earn the O.S.S.D. 2. How important is it for a student entering grade 9 to make the proper selection of courses? Two areas must be con- sidered in the selection of courses. First, the level of dif- ficulty must be decided upon. This should reflect the relative interest placed on the students objectives. The advanced -level courses focus on the development of academic skills and prepare students for entry to univer- sity or to certain progranv of the college of applied artsjnd technology. The general -level courses focus on preparation for employment, careers or further education in certain programs in the colleges of applied arts and technology and other non -degree- - granting post secondary educational institutions. The basic -level courses are designed to focus on the development of personal skills, social understanding, selfconfidence and prepara- tion for the world of work. Students need not choose all courses at the same level - Secondly, the subjects to be taken should be selected. Under the new circular, On- tario Schools: Intermediate' and Senior Divisions (O.S.I.S.) a minimum of 30 credits must be earned to receive an Ontario Secondary Diploma (OSSD). Of these, 16 credits are compulsory as follows: 5 credits in English (at least 2 in the Senior divi- sion). 1 credit in French as a second language, 2 credits in Mathematics, 2 credits in Science, 1 credit in Canadian Geography, 1 credit in Cana- dian History, 1 additional credit in the social sciences (in the Senior Division), 1 credit in the Arts, 1 credit in the Physical and Health Education, 1 credit in Business Studies or Technological Studies. Many of the compulsory credits may be taken at the grade 9 level, therefore, leav- ing the choice of elective credits minimal. The student should choose a combination of courses sufficiently broad so that future educational and occupational goals are not restricted to a narrow choice. The program selected by the student should be ap- propriate to his/her educa- tional goals and yet capitalize on his/her abilities, interest and needs. Students need not choose all courses at the same level of difficulty. Students planning to enter University are likely to select most of the com- pulsory credit courses at the advanced level of difficulty. Student who plan to enter business or industry directly after graduation may choose to take courses at the general level as well as some at the advanced Zr basic level. Many students from this group may take further train- ing in a College or Private Vocational School. Students who for a variety of reasons may be planning to enter the work force directly from Secondary School may chose to take many of their courses at the basic or general level. t -or tnlro stralgnt year SH winsgymnastics crown South Huron's spirited high quality gymnastics. gymnastics team has for the .

Rose Morrissey was sixth overall with good perfor- mance on floor, beam and vault. As third place on bars she is an OFSAA alternate. Jodi McBride was eighth on the floor and performed well on the beam. Sue Boyle did well on floor. Unfortunately two Exeter gymnasts were unable to compete. Intermediate Kelly Johns had the flu and senior Montaha Osman's sprained ankle had still not healed. The junior team was second overall with strong first year performances. In a show of strength South Huron took se- cond through sixth overall with Mary Martens second, Carole Morrissey third, Ronalynn Bell fourth, Leanne Jennison fifth and Barb Lawson sixth. On bars Carole Morrissey was fourth and Mary Martens seventh while eighth was earned by Barb Lawson. Kim Boogemans was ninth in vaulting with her peppy floor routine. Barb Lawson's dance earned her fifth. Ronalynn Bell and Mary Martens were seventh and eighth respec- tively. Leanne Jennison was tenth. On the beam Mary Martens placed sixth. Each gymnast should be congratulated for par- ticipating in one of the most demanding high school sports. Coach Carey Eddy, too, has put much time and ef- fort into her winning team. South Huron will be back next year to defend their Huron -Perth and WOSSA titles minus the leadership of graduating gymnasts Catherine Patterson, Starr Jesney, Sandra McCurdy, Lisa Rundle and Montaha Osman. r' CELEBRATE BI -CENTENNIAL — Students at Usborne Central School celebrated On- tario's Bi -Centennial at an assembly Friday morning.
