Fûrr"terý E&W Re-inventing, the wheel? 1The Ontario Minstry of Education this September will be introducing a new high school curriculum for grades il1 and 12 to be known as Entrepreneurial Studies. It will be in- troduced in ail schools across the province. The course which was authored in Ontario has gained mucb fanr fare flot oniy in Canada but also by the Paris-based Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development which had commissioned a global study on entrepreneurship education. The Ontario Study received more attention fromn this group than did any other findings throughout the world. The authors of the Ontario curriculum have stated that ail too often we try to drive change with information. They trend to support creativity and innovation as two main' factor along with others that make cause for entrepreneurship. The Ontariogroup had taken their curriculum to an educational forum in Nova Scotia and were extollitsg its merits to the audience. They spoke on developing self- confidence and worked on facilitating behavioural and at- tidutinal changes, creativity and innovation. It was interesting that one in the audience made the comment that this was flot entrepreneural education, this is what education in generai is supposed to do in the first place. We wôuld think most would agree wth the> comment and just how many time do we have to invent the wheel before' it tarts rolling. It brought a warming feeling The presentation to counicil on' Monday certainly had to bring a warmi feeling to just about everyone who heard it. Paul Woodcroft of the Oshawa and District Association for Community Living was a symbol of a compassionate society while Joanne Peacock presented the route to success for the handicapped. SToo often we read'about the abrasive side of society of having no compassion or confort for others. This was not the case that developed over the address to council. There is care and understanding. There is compassion and these lements. are at work in society today. Peacock said "look at me and what do you see?" She did not want to be labelled but to be accepted as part of the mosaic in community living. Her place as a human being is al that is asked. To be judged by hier abilities. To be a simple friend. It was a heart warming experience and we do have much to be thankful for. What does thils solve? A couple of weeks ago we waited for the rest of the naine change when counicil briefly debated changing the Newcastle Town Hall to the Municipal Administrative Cen- tre. It was like tagging the new born with Charlie and neyer issuing a surname. We have no quamns on calling the building the Municipal Administrative Centre but have to ask "of what?" Sureiy we are proud enough, to add the Town of Newcastle just to not add further to what is supposed to be a confused issue. Well it could be in smnaller print. Surely this is not going to satisfy anyone and it does leave the building dangling wthout proper identification. Pcrhaps the only way to solve the issue is to move the building to the Village of Newcastle along with the 70 to 80 employées for which we are sure the merchants in downtown Newcastle would beglad to se..

"This is what Community Living is ail about," she said. She said she woulld like to take Early Childhood Education at Col- lege and further her contribution to the commnunity. "We can make it work when wc arc part ut the coinl- munity," she stated. "L.ook at mie anmd what do you sec?" she asked. "Accept us for what we ar." "lWe want to bc a real part of the community," she said. Counc. Hamre, as chairman of the Durham Non-Profit Housing Corporation said the Corporation had worked with the Community Living group and the relationship had been most positive. She said units in their projects are made available when the need arises. Hamre aiso said Social Services has a six mionth working agreement with the community living group in which training and job search is joint ly undertaken. She said Social Service workcrs state they gain more front the handicapped than they can give back. Paul Woodcro tt o f Conln1 unit y Living said that the Durham Non- Profit Housing Corporation is one of the miost forward looking group that they work with, and was high in his praise for the organization., Kendal News Finally we are havingsome mild weather. This morning I heard the sounds of a different bird caîl, I couldn't see the bird, but it sounded like a Blackbird. The ice and snow is melting and water is rushing down the ditch and over the low spots in the lawns. There seemed to be ponds and rivers wherever you looked in the Village. Perhaps Spr- ing is really just around the corner, it can't be too soon, for me. At this time of, the year , like so many others, 1 start to get cabin fever. On Sunday. in',the absence of Rev. Ransom,, the Service was in charge of the Worship Committee. Brad Switzer opened, by welcoming everyone. The choir sang the an- them, 'Do You Know My Jesus?' Bernie Martin played the guitar and recited a poem and sang a song. Chad Switzer told the children's story, he asked them if they knew what a law was? He went on to explain that a law was a rule, some were laws or rules made by man and some were God's rules. He told how the people thought Jesus was break- ing the law, by healing the sick on Sunday and speaking to people that he shouldn't talk to. They went to Nicodemus, he felt there was no wrong in this, but he went along with themn, one time he disguised himnself and went to talk with Jesus and Jesus told him that He, was obeying God' s law, that ail people were equal, this changed Nicodemus' ife and he defended Jesus. Bernie Martin played a lovely lullaby on the dulcimer. The Scrip- tures were read by Dora Mac- Donald, Phyllis Lowery and Brad Switzer. The Sermon was taken by Peggy Frank and was based on Faith, how in her own personal life she had had to place her faith in Cod and trust Him to sec them through troubled times, and how we should al leave it to God, and put our faith in Him. The Pastoral Prayers were given by Thelma Westlake. An- nounicements are as follows: Shilo U.C.W. are sponsoring a dance at Newtonville Hall, on Saturday, March l7th. Music by Woods Or- chestra.

That's the way to do it, keep on growing. In this day and age it seems that you hear of more and more organizations having trouble to get their present members out to meetings and more trouble getting new members. The men are busy working on the hall trying to make it more comfortable to meet A challenge for the ska te-boa rders It was revealed at council meeting on Monday that five portable skateboard ramps are now being constructed by the Town's corn- munîty services department. The portable ramps will be located throughout the municipality with Orono being the recipient of one. Newcastle Village, Hampton, Bowmanville and Courtice are other possible sites. In speaking with Joe Carauna, director, he said the Town would be negotiating to place the ramp at the Orono Arena parking lot. As far as a permanent ramp for the Bowmanville Arena property he said this would flot be undertaken and that the effort is now being put into the five portable units.

That is one of the draw backs of these old halls, so many have had to be sold, and the Lodges have had to rent other places to hold their meetings. Our thanks to the members of the Lodges that meet in this hall, for ail the time and work that they put towards the upkeep. This is one of the few old buildings stili in use, constantly.
