South Huron District High School
Two day professional develo
All staff members of South
iluron District High School will
be participating in Professional
Development. Days, Thursday
and Friday of this week.
They will be attending a two
day seminar at the Benmiller
Inn. The program designed to
further staff development will be
conducted by personnel of the
Ontario Ministry of Education.
The Ministry of Educaion
personnel will include Frank
Marchand, Earl Knickerbocker
and Jay Lockerbie.
South Huron principal J.L.
Wooden said this week, "The
Ministry of Education sets down
the minimum number of days a
school must be open. With a total
of four PD days this year we are
well above the minimum number
of clays we must have the school
open."
Wooden added, "Some schools
take their PD days late in June to
shorten the school year, but we
have extended ours to June 23
this year."
The other two days allotted to
South Huron by the Huron Board
of Education for Professional
Development days were in the
fall with one being the first day of
school, after Labour Day.
Wooden said the only approval
needed from the Huron Board
and the Ministry for this week's
two day session was to change a
scheduled PD day for April 30 to
January 27.
The local principal said the cost
of the two day stay at Benmiller
will be covered by monies from
four sources. They are the
Ministry of Education, the
Ontario Secondary School
Teachers Federation, the Huron
Board of Education and the
teachers themselves.
Wooden said each secondary
school in Huron has been allotted
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a facto; .in the
normal developmei nd
maintenance of bones, cart/ge,
teeth, gums and good health.
Twenty years ago, 50 per cent of
all the vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
in the average Canadian's diet
was supplied by potatoes. They
continue to be an inexpensive
and excellent source of this
valuable nutrient.
Since vitamin C is the leaset
stable of all the vitamins found in
foods, certain precautions should
be taken to lose as little of it as
possible. The important points to
remember are these: Vitamin C
is soluble in water and is easily
destroyed by exposure to air and
high temperatures. These facts
should be considered when
storing, handling or cooking
potatoes.
Store potatoes in a cool, dark
place. Cook them (unpeeled and
uncut) in their jackets. Boil them
in a small amount of water or
bake them in the oven. Never
overcook potatoes. Serve them
immediately once they are
cooked,
Remember that when potaoes
are cut or peeled, the Loss of
vitamin C is considerable. Even
more vitamin C is lost when
potatoes are mashed. Oxidation
that occurs when air is forced
into hot potatoes is the cause.

$50 per staff member for
Professional Development this
year and this may be spent at the
discretion of the principal.
He continued, "We will not be
spending more than half' of our
yearly allotment of $3,000 during
this week's seminar at Ben -
miller. There is no extra cost to
the Board or local ratepayers.
Other years these monies were
spent in different ways, sending
two or three teachers to various
conventions, for example." This
year we have limited other PD
activities and will be using most
of the funds for a total staff
program.
"This will not be a frivolous
session. It is the most serious

Professional Development idea
we have ever had. It is a genuine
concern of our staff to do a better
job with the more complex
problems facing us in
education."
A member of the PD com-
mittee Pat Quigley echoed the
principal's sentiments. She said,
"This kind of thing is being done

ers
more and more by school staffs to
develop better interpersonal
relationships and understanding
of other departments."
She continued, "It gives us an
opportunity to sort out common
goals and developmore tolerance
in special areas and between
departments and should provide
a healthier teaching program."
