Zurich Citizens News, 1977-01-26, Page 11• 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. Off Mfg. ListDuring Our Mid.. Winter. FURNITURE SALE $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 Citizens News, January 26, 1977 nt for teac 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 Page 1 1 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."
