The initiative -- run by the Oakville Public Library and Halton Region's Healthy Babies, Healthy Children program -- involves the use of specially prepared Read With Me kits for use in the home. Family home visitors -- .who pro vide in-home support to identified fam ilies with many diverse challenges and stresses -- will deliyer the kits during their regular visits. "We have chosen the most beautiful picture books, board books, puzzles, puppets and toys that are absolutely guaranteed to offer hours of fun for the parent and child to enjoy together," says Daria Sharanewych, children's advo cate for the Oakville Public Library. The program's purpose is to provide parents with a better understanding of the importance and value of talking and reading to their children. Research shows that reading and interacting with babies and pre-schoolers helps stimu late brain development by introducing language and new ideas. Books stimulate a child's imagination, curiosity and creativity. Even the act of cud dling or holding a child close while enjoy ing a book strengthens emotional bonds and helps develop a sense of security. o.a.c. G uaranteedresults. D r.

Another student, a 16-year-old male who asked not to be identified, said, "It goes against Catholic teaching." The 17-year-old Durham student, Marc Hall, told reporters recently that "overwhelming" support has encouraged him to continue fighting for gay rights. "It's been really hard on J.P. and me," said Hall, referring to his 21-yearold boyfriend Jean-Paul Dumond. In a clear decision granting Hall's request for an injunction, Mr. Justice Robert MacKinnon said a ban on samesex dates at the prom violated Hall's con stitutional rights. He ordered the Durham Catholic District School Board to allow the gay couple to attend the dance. Both the board and Hall's lawyers say they are ready to continue with a full trial and will take it to the Supreme Court of Canada, if necessary. Hall told reporters most of his class mates were "happy to see him at the prom." The case received extensive cover age in the British and U.S. media, and on the Internet. In Halton, Piovesan said the Catholic board understands the Durham position, and respects the court's interim position. What would happen if a similar situ ation were to occur in Halton? "We would have to be guided by the court decision, and we'd also have to consult the diocese, the local bishop's office, to receive further guidance," he said. School trustees would also likely have to meet to decide a board position.
