Clinton News-Record, 1987-05-27, Page 25Things were jumping at Clinton Public School on April 28 when the school held a skip rope for heart program. Through the ef- forts of approximately 130 skippers, 100 of whom had pledges, the school raised $2,600 for heart and stroke research. Even some of the teachers got into the act, as demonstrated by the event's organizer for the school, Joe Laurie.

OAITH pleased with grant The Ontario Association of Interval Transition Houses is pleased to acknowledge the efforts of Ian Scott, At- torney General and Ontario Minister for Women's Issues and John Sweeney, On- tario Minister of Community and Social Services recently when they expressed the government's commitment to "stem the tide of family violence in Ontario". The Ontario Association of Interval Transition Houses (OAITH) welcomes the announcement of the additional $7.1 million providing a total of $12.5 million to address primarily legal enforcement and victim assistance. OAITH is pleased to note that $3 million has been allocated to further sup- port the work of existing shelters for bat- tered women. However, the organization is concerned that only $300,000 has been provided for shelter expansion as this will not meet the demand identified by shelter workers, par- ticularly in view of the increased awareness anticipated by the upcoming public and professional educational awareness campaign. OAITH is encouraged by the en- thusiastic acknowledgement of their ex- pertise which leads OAITH to expect that the increased dollar allocation will allow for improved salary scales and staff ratios in the proposed new funding formula. OAITH looks forward to co-operating in a consultative manner with the Ministers in the design of this new funding formula.
