The Goderich Signal-Star, 1983-08-10, Page 14DIE rE'.i Sleet rT R, W ' DN DAY, AUGU$T,lp; . ..: It oar d Jy S.tephanie,Levesgue Ropy upon row ,gf program - Med cassette tapes and neat- ly eatly filed language arks pro= grams;are the net results of the Experience '83 program by the Huron -Perth Separate School Board. Eight students from across Huron and Perth counties have been working out of the board office in . Dublin and across the street at St. Patrick's school. Under the leadership of co- ordinator Denise Lane of St. Columban, the students have been putting computer pro- grams on cassettes from disks, cataloguing library cards and compiling various: language arts programs. Specifically, Anne Marie Kelly of Dublin and Mary Lee Jansen of Seaforth have been working in the media centre at the board office. The two girls have produced library cards for the board's library consultant Edith Mc- Carroll. Material from past professional development days has been compiled by the pair for distribution among the 19 separate schools in the system. "Kits" for the junior and intermediate reading pro- grams have also been pieced together under the Ex- perience program. A similar kit, following the philosophy of Bloom's Taxonomy, has also been prepared for the board's recently approved program for the gifted. Bloom's Taxonomy develops creative thinking along with knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, sym- thesis and evaluation. The remainder of the Ex- perience students are over in the gym at St. Patrick's. There the gym is filled with programmed cassettes and 11 computers. The students, Stephen Lernmon of Mitchell, Peter Frehner and David Bleiker, both of St. Marys, Jayne Delaney of Dublin and Doug Denomrne of Zurich have loaded the cassettes with about. 4,000. programs. Taking the programs from disks already at the board of - times well as from program catalogues from across the province, the objective is to put these tapes on the casset- tes to be distributed around the separate schools in the two counties, Each school has had an op- portunity to order these cassettes at $1.25 each from 1,000 possible programs. The decision to make the casset- tes available to the schools is simply economical as the cassette attachments for the computer are cheaper than the disk drives necessary for ithe disks. There are about three to four programs per cassette and by the end of July the students had completed about 1,200 to 1,300 cassettes. Not only do the students program the computers to "DLoad", the term used for the transferring of the pro- gram from disk to cassette, but they re -check the casset- tes, label and file them for each school. Doug IDenomme has even prepared special programs specifically for the students in Huron and Perth. He has adapted a geography pro- gram prepared on Huron County and has done com- parable work in subjects such as history, math and spelling. Denise Lane, who has been working in the Experience program offered by the board for about six years, has organized the project since May. Doug started working in June, while the rest of the students started in July. The project will end on Aug. 19. As in all other Experience programs, this one financed by the Ministry of Educa- tion, the students receive minimum wages. For those under 18 the minimum wage is $2.65 and over 18 the minimum is $3.50 per hour. All students work a 35 -hour week. Native art exhibited On August 13, the third ex- hibition of the season, a selection of paintings and prints by artists from the Ojibway Cultural Founda- tion, will open in the Blyth Centre for the Arts Art Gallery. The work of nine ar- tists, one woman and eight men, will be on display in the gallery until September 14. The group includes Blake Debassige, Shirley Cheechoo, Leland Bell, Blair Debassige, Don Ense, Carl Beam, James Simon, Randy Trudeau and Michael Robin- son. Their work is in collec- tions in Canada and around the world including The Museum of Man, the Royal Ontario Museum private col- lection of the president of the Chase Manhattan Bank. Two of the artists, Leland Bell and James Simon, Mary Lou Fox from the Ojibway Cultural Foundation and Walter Sunahara, head of the Native Arts Division of the Ontario Arts Council, will be in attendance when Bev Walker, chairman of the Visual Arts Committee of the Blyth Centre for the Arts, opens the exhibition. On Saturday, August 13 and Sunday, August 14 at 8:30 p.m. the Native Theatre School from Meaford, under the auspices of the Associatin for Native Development in the Visual and Performing Arts, will present "Ne-gah-neen" ( A Fantastic Pilgrimage). The play tells the story of a young woman's journey into the past in an attempt to reconcile her traditional roots with a place in the modern world. It will be presented in Lion's Park, one block west of the main street in Blyth. Both the art gallery open- ing and the theatre perfor- mance are free and the public are cordially invited.

The Conservation Authority has consequently established two annual con- servation awards. One award will go to the group who makes the most significant contribution to the work of the' Conservation Authority while the other award will go to the in- dividual who similarily aids the Conservation Authority in its work. The conservation awards will consist of a certificate and framed print or book. In addition the recipients will have their names added to plaques which will be displayed at the Con- servation Authority's office in Exeter. The Executive Committee of the A.B.C.A. will choose two award winners from among nominations prepared by Conservation Authority staff. The public is encouraged to bring the conservation -related efforts of groups and individuals to the Conservation Authority's Dan Kennaley, Watershed Kan Kennaley, Watershed Planning and Community Relations Co -Ordinator with the Conservation Authority, believes that there will be no shortage of excellent can- didates for the conservation awards. "Many local people have been helping with various Conservation Authority programs each year and we now have a way of showing our apprecia- tion", says Mr. Kennaley. "It's too bad we couldn't give out fifty awards because we'll probably have Have you enough insurance to protect your home and contents against loss or damage by fire, thieves or vandals? 0 the 0 co-operator INSURANCE': SERVICES Protect your home and the things you, own with a plan from The Co- operators.

Breast Screen- ing Study centre opened in London on,Au 2. The National Breast Screening Study is currently operating in nine centres across Canada and will in- volve more than, 9.0,000 Cana- dian women. The objective of the study is to determine whether early detection by mammography will reduce the mortality rate from breast cancer. More than 4,500 Southwestern Ontario women between 40 and 59 years of age will take part in this five-year research pro- gram at the centre which is located at 373 Hill Street in London. Donna Dean, co-ordinator of the London Breast Screen- ing Study, said women will be welcomed from an area stretching from Windsor in the s0utb to the Bruce Penin- sula and bounded by Lake Huron to the west and Kit- chener itchener to the east. "The only, restrictions are that participants must be 40 - to -59 year old women who have never had breast cancer, are not pregnant and have not had a mammogram in the 12 months prior to entering the program," Mrs. Dean said. Half off the women volunteering for the pro- gram will receive an annual physical examination and x- ray of the breasts, along with being taught breast self- examination, for five years. The other half will be taught self-examination and will receive an initial physical examination of the breasts. If over 50, women in the se- cond group will have an an- nual physical breast ex- amination. If under 50, wernen in the second group will not have to return to the clinic each year but will, in- stead, be followed by mail. If abnormalities are found, the family physician will be advised. It is the family physician and the patient who decide on further management. "Manage- ment" includes both diagnosis and treatment. For most women, no treat- ment will be required. The local program co- ordinator said that nearly 40,000 women already have been recruited for the pro- gram across Canada and 200 new cases of breast cancer have been detected. Another purpose of the Breast Screening Study is to try to identify combinations of risk factors which may make it possible to select on- ly high risk cadiidates for screening in the future. It will also analyse the cost ef- fectiveness of current breast smelling techniques and wprovide information about breast cancer for use in computer simulation idles., The Breast Screening' Study will complete screen- ing by March 31, 1988. It is funded by the National Cancer Institute of Canada, the Canadian Cancer Socie- • ty, Health and Welfare Canada, the Medical Research Council of Canada, Le Ministere des Affaires Sociales du Quebec, the On- tario Ministry of Health and the Manitoba Health Ser- vices Commission. Women wishing to volunteer or requiring fur- ther information, should call Mrs. Donna Dean at (519)433-2861. Junior Farmers tour county farms of Ken Flanagan, Dublin; White Brothers, Seaforth; Don Henry, Bluevale; and Ray Hogan, Ashfield. Township; all in Huron County. The following day they visited the farms of David Branch, Staffa; Don Hawkens, Fullerton; Players Brothers, Gadshill; Bernard Murray„ Embro; John Alderman, Lakeside and Bob Debrabendere, Rannoch. The Junior Farmers didn't end their day after the tours. Each evening, back at Cen- tralia, the group discussed what they had seen that day. By Stephanie Levesnue Junior Farmers from across the province, toured farms in four counties recently to gain insight to soil and crop management. The 48 Junior Farmers in- cluding some from as far away as Rainy River, were based out of Centralia Col- lege of Agricultural Technology July 25 to 29, and each day travelled through the counties of Perth, Huron, Oxford and Middlesex. Farm business advisor Herb Norry, of the London ministry of agriculture of- fice, said the young men have "either just started or are getting ready to farm". Each was chosen from their respective county organiza- tions. They toured about 20 farms in the four counties enabling the Junior Farmers to See a variety of farming methods. The tour is headed up by OMAF in co-operation with the Ontario Junior Farmers. Representatives from the agricultural extension of- fices in each of the four coun- ties assisted in selecting the farms to be toured. Farms were selected on the basis of "offering lessons to be learned" for the Junior Farmers said Mr. Norry. This annual tour has been taking place for about 20 years said the OMAF representative. A registra- tion fee of $100 is paid by the Junior Farmer or his club with the remainder of the ex- penses, including a bus for travelling, picked up by OMAF. Locally, Perth associate agriculture representative Art Lawson accompanied the fanners during their tour of Perth. From Huron Coun- ty, John Heard travelled with the farmers for the en- tire week acting as soils and crop specialist. On Wednesday, July 27, the group toured the farms ••!1•••••0•AA*ID ••••••••••••••••••••0 • • •P • FBI PURE J.M. CUTT LIMITED RED & WHITE FOODMASTER 91 VICTORIA ST.
