Clinton News-Record, 1979-05-10, Page 13Got some inventions? Incentive program set Innovative farrners don't have to keep their inventions locked in their imaginations. A number of Ontario farmers 'have turned their dreams into Imo king projects through. I. ova -tor .Incentive Pr; p I. is ledeiral program, a+cminrItered provin- cially, provides up to 50 percor of the cost for innovative technological development related to the feed and grain sec- tors. "The program was established because we 'realized the need for this tyPe of practical on-farm stud'_yt'.' says Howard Npdwell, project coor- di iatdr for the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. In'the two years of the program, about 20 farm' rs have received grants ranging from $4,000 to the allowable $10,000, maximum toward innovative projects. "Farmers p 1r- ticipating in the program must present a detailed proposal for the intended project," says Mr. Nodwell. "These projects must be innovative and that means you can't buy the idea off a shelf." Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food engineers and extension specialists provide technical assistance and guidance to the farmers. Projects are evaluated, and measurements are taken regularly to determine the economic feasibility of each project. "Because of increasing concerns about energy, and dissatisfaction with the equipment available, many of the projects are looking into alternate energy sources," says Mr. Nodwell.

Could it be that these men were trying to get closer to God? Maybe, but Bill Harris and his fellow worker's prime objective was to repair the bricks on the steeple at the Wesley -Willis Church. They've been working at the church since Monday.

A questionnaire will be given the com- plainant for completion and a meeting set up with the principal to discuss the matter. The principal, the department head and the teacher will meet with the complainant to discuss, in "amicable fashion" the complainant's point of view. Problems are to be handled "promptly, quietly and routinely". If the! student or parent is adamant about the text the student is to be offered another title or another teacher directed unit "without recrimination". If no solution can be reached at this level the complaint will be sent to the education committee. The education committee can include the teacher, principal and department head in disucssions with the complainant or just talk with the complainant to try to solve the problem. The committee can then either make a recommendation to the board or send the matter on for the board to handle. The policy is aimed at providing equally for the judgement of educators in formulating programs to meet legitimate educational objectives which have been formulated in ac- cordance with ministry of education guidelines and the legitimate moral concerns of parents and students as they may perceive them. Trustees had no objections to the policy but wanted to make every effort to keep- parents informed about text- book approvals. Goderich trustee Dorothy Wallace suggested the board post a list of approved texts in public libraries in the county. She said by putting the list in the public domain parents would be able to see what material will be used in classrooms and have an opportunity to read it. y. . . "We also can't be accused of ever trying to teach something the public is not aware of," said Wallace. Shirley Y-Iazlitt, trustee for Goderich and Colborne townships, agreed with Wallace pointing out that libraries are "very public". She said parents probably frequent libraries more than the board offices or even the schools. She added that books would be in the libraries for parents and for students in the event they lost their own copy. Goderich trustee Dave Gower ,suggested that the posting of the list in public libraries was something that could be written into the policy. He said the policy could be expanded to include anything the board wanted rather than passing additional policies. "We (the board) can just add a one liner rather than have just another piece of paper," Gower suggested. Seperate school trustee Eugene Frayne asked the board how com- plaints from students would be handled if the students felt teachers were discriminating because that student was upset by a textbook. "The student has the right to go to the principal with the problem or come down here' (the board offices in Clin- ton)," ' said board chairman John Elliott. Frayne wanted to know how alter- nate textbooks would be given the student if they objected to the approved material. He asked if the student would merely be given the book to read or if the book would be taught by the teacher. John Cochrane, director of education, said the teacher would spend time with the student taking the alternative text but pointed out that the board, and parents, "can't expect one student to get the same amount of time as the other 29 in the class".
