Clinton News-Record, 1985-07-17, Page 15PatZ9 14C1.,INTQN NEWS-REGQ , WEDINTBSDAY, JULY 17,1985 oung Author's won by John John Fingland of The Yukon, the 18 -year- old son of Frank Fingland, and Elizabeth Fingland of Clinton, recently received the Department of Education's award for senior poetry in the Young Author's Contest. The winning poems of this Grade 12 student are reprinted below. A Description of War Cold, Dark, Mud enraged fields No birds fly in the muddy sky, And no one seems to feel A cry, a shout: A burst of fire Some men fall to lie in the mud until they're cold. No heads appear above bunkers, Only the deadly eye of the gunner's arma- ment. Where is the dove? Where is the rose? Where is the freedom now? What reasons brought these men, Proud and strong, To such forsaken ground as this. A land where wet sand seeps into boots and the clay never arises because the sun can't filter its rays in through the black storm clouds that envelop the fields A man cries anonymously. Number four seven two dash five; Regiment fourteen. Us agairst them Them against us. (We are all liars and betrayers of humanity and follow our pretentious nature. ) No more bombs overhead: more cries ° more screams? more hell; soldiers. (Murderers for justice? ) Power, Corruption and Lies I Perhaps the sun will shine tomorrow, for it surely didn't shine today Il Today I watched starving people on T.V. watched a broken hand reach out in distress then watched it again on my VHS That is what I watched today Today I heard a leader tell us about peace. Freedom forever he sang m his song then waved his finger o'er the button for the Bomb That is what I heard today Today I felt the passionate touch of love's lie ; That true love can never be wrong Until something better comes along That is what I felt today Today I smelled the rancid odor of death Those we've killed for living in our wealth I wonder if they're dying to aid in our health That is what I smelled today And today I tasted the angry taste of fear in my heart Fear of people we should have sympathy for Instead of laughing and closing the door That is what I tasted today III We live in a world of leaders, stuck on paranoia and lies. ' Yet leaders are merely a reflection of peo- ple: And it is we who create the power, corrup- tion and lies. All hope rests that perhaps the sun will shine tomorrow, For it surely didn't shine today. • John Fingland Ministry to provide up to $1 million The Ontario government has set aside $1 - million to te1p private marina operators become more competitive and to better at- tract the estimated 1.2 -million pleasure craft that enter Ontario waters each year. "We recognize that marina operators face a great many essential costs in order to stay in business," Natural Resources Minister Michael Harris said recently. • "This pro- gram providesfunds for such things as gasoline holding tanks, shore wall protec- tion, dredging and aquatic plant removal — items that are essential yet generate no revenue."

"When you consider that the estimated • annual direct expenditures on recreational boating in this province is more than $1 - billion, this program is a sound invest- ment," the Minister added. He said that the BILD program will enhance Ontario's existing private marina system, create an incentive for investment in marinas and encourage marina operators to stay in the boating business. It is expected - to create 1,250 temporary jobs and 300 per= manent positions. All applications for assistance will be reviewed by the Boating Ontario Advisory Team (BOAT) — composed of represen- tatives from five government ministries — and approved by the. Minister of Natural Resources. The program will be assessed by BOAT after one year to determine whether or not it should be continued. BILD — chaired , by Treasurer Bette . Stephenson — is the Ontario Cabinet com- mittee responsible for co-ordinating the pro- vince's economic development strategy.

Student loan budget increase The Ontario Student Assistance Program will total $135 million this year, an increase of $7.5 million over last year, Colleges and Universities Minister Keith C. Norton' an- nounced last week. The increase in student grant and loan money will offset the recently announced five percent hike in tuition fees and other costs faced by students. Mr. Norton, said that the personal and living allowances will be increased to $95 a week from the present $90. and that the local transportation allowance will be increased by one dollar to eight dollars a week. The Ontario Student Assistance Program provides grants and loans to studentsiatten- ding approved postsecondary colleges, universities and private vocational schools. It is composed of six' plans, four of which are provincially funded. The remaining two plans are funiled under the Canada Student Loans Program by the Secretary of State. It is expected that 112,000 students will receive assistance from OSAP this year. Special education teachers kept up to.date with regular meetings By Stephanie Levesque• There is a group of teachers in Huron and Perth Counties that have been working on their own professional development for almost 10 years. They are the special education teachers or those teachers previously known as the "opportunity class'. teachers. They -meet several times a year as the Huron and Perth chapter of the Council for Exceptional Children. The main purpose of the council, explains chapter spokesman, Pat Jones of Upper `Thames Elementary School in Mitchell, is to help keep special education teachers up-to- date in their professional field. However, Ms. Jones does state that tie CEC offerings are for more than the special :education teachers. . ; They would like to see others in the education field - such as superintendents, principals and regular classroom teachers attending the information sessions. They would also like to zero in on family doctors. Parents are also invited to attend. Ms1 Jones notes that there is a parent group called The Association for Children of Learning Disabilities in Stratford. The Huron -Perth group has been together since 1975 and includes teachers from the two public school systems as well as teachers from the Huron -Perth Catholic system. Prior to '75, the individual boards had their own councils. • The teachers paya membership fee, which mostly covers the cost of •the speaker to belong to the organization. "'We need to keep informed," says Ms. • Jones, noting that the council was originally formed before PD days existed. She says it is now recognized that regular classroom teachers are dealing 'with a wide range of children in their classes and they need to know how to deal with the ranges. In a hypothetical situation, a Grade 5 class could have children ranging from Grade 3 to Grade 8 in intelligence. On top of that, with the introduction of special education or Bill 82, a child with special learning needs can be in a regular classroom. "Teachers don't teach one lesson,'" says. Ms. Jones. Currently a vice-principal, she says teaching is now a • "different ball game" from the time she started as a classroom teacher. • "It's better, but harder than when I ' started. it's much- -more rewardingt't she • adds. "But there are miles to go yet."' • -. Thenext council meeting is scheduled for Nov. 28 at the Jester Arms in Stratford. The consulting psychologist for both the Perth, Board of Education and the Huron -Perth. Separate School Board, Dr. Charles Pierce of New Hamburg, is the guest speaker. A panel discussion on special education will be the thrust of the April 24 meeting slated for the Little Inn at Bayfield: The final and annual meeting of the school year will see Huron superintendent Paul Carrollas the guest speaker at The Creamery Restaurant in St. Marys.
