The program has two functions: it allows caring and responsible students to help other students by listening listening and practising effective effective comunication skills; and it provides these peer counsellors with tutoring skills to help students who are having academic difficulties. difficulties.

Each was recommended recommended by teachers at the school for having shown leadership skills and an ability to relate well with a variety of students. A two-day training camp was conducted by the adult guidance counsellors at Camp Samac in Oshawa, at the beginning of the school year. The 14 peer counsellors counsellors examined various issues issues and themes related to school motivation and discussed discussed a variety of ways that they could become agents of change in areas of school life that they find dissatisfying dissatisfying or discouraging. The peer counsellors are assigned regular office hours in the Student Services Services Department and also get together with a group supervisor once a week to discuss problems and triumphs. Of course the peer cousel- lors have been well-trained to recognize when they should refer a problem to the adult counsellors or to an outside agency. At the moment, two peer counsellors have been assigned assigned to each grade nine home room class. According According to Peggy Desjardins the new students are respond ing well to the peer counsellors counsellors in "let's get acquainted" acquainted" sessions. "So far we've had very good feedback feedback to the program," she said. The main focus of the program is on the presence of these trained individuals within the social network of their fellow students. Ms. Desjardins said: "Their counselling sessions, therefore, therefore, are most likely to informal informal discussions, conversations, conversations, or rap sessions throughout the school which now have the added ingredient of skills specifically specifically learned for helping others express and dial effectively effectively with problems or concerns." ENNISKILLEN NEWS On Sunday we had a very special service when a beautiful beautiful Rogers Electronic Organ was dedicated to the church, donated by Mrs. Edith Slemon in memory of the Virtue family who were residents of the area in the early 1900's.

HYDRO SLASHES ACID GAS EMISSIONS Last month Canada's Acid Rain Envoy, former Premier Bill Davis, told a group in New England that it's time the United States took action to fight acid rain. Every day, more and more evidence is piling up demonstrating the havoc acid rain is causing with our forests and lakes. But every time someone calls for American action against acid rain, others ask what has Ontario done to provide leadership on this question. - This summer, Ontario Hydro announced that acid gas emissions from coal-fired generating stations were down during the first half of the year. The emissions were 63,000 tonnes, or 21 percent, less in 1985 than they were in 1984. This reduction is acid gas emissions was achieved despite the fact that the coal- fired generating stations were delivering a record amount of élec tricity to the province to CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF NEWCASTLE PUBLIC NOTICE TO ITS CITIZENS NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE IN THE MATTER of the Ontario Heritage Act, 1974, R.S.0.1980, Chapter 337; AND IN THE MATTER of the lands and premises at the following Municipal address In the Town of Newcastle, in the Province of Ontario: Location: R.R.

How has Hydro achieved this record? First, the utility is using coal that contains less sulphur. Secondly, Hydro has been working on the creation of scrubbers to reduce the amount of acid gas carried into the air by emissions from coal-fired generating stations. A new kind of scrubber is being tested at the Lakeview coal-fired generating station this fall. I had the opportunity of visiting the plant and asked detailed questions about the test. But Ontario's nuclear generating stations have their part to play as well. Hydro experts point out that acid gas emissions would probably be at twice the current levels were it not for the nuclear YELVERTON [Intended for Last Week] The weather lady (equal time for woman's lib) really cooperated cooperated on Saturday for Audrie Brown's furniture and household content sale. A large crowd was present which contributed to quite a successful sale. The U.C.W. ladies garnered a nice bit of green stuff by providing lunch to the hungry crowd. Audrie has moved into her apartment in Prince Albert and will be greatly missed in our community of which she has been an active part for many years. Miss Mona Malcolm and Mr. Ronnie Sharman attended the wedding and reception - dance of Pat and Michelle O'Neil in Cobourg on Saturday.

Due to a few frosty nights or whatever, there has been a rash of weddings this past weekend. Mr. and Mrs. Quenten Robinson attended a friend's wedding in Toronto this weekend. weekend. Murray Malcolm and Ann motored to Trenton, Michigan, U.S.A. this weekend weekend to attend a relative's wedding in that vicinity, returning home on Sunday. Mr. Ray Robinson is convalescing convalescing satisfactory following what he facetiously calls his recent "big Mac attack" (wish I had said that) when a "big Mac" truck fully loaded suffered brake failure and crashed into Ray's bus in Toronto. Luckily, the bus had no passengers in transit at the time so Ray was the only casualty with the exception of the bus which will be "hors-de- combot" from now on. Don't forget Yelverton's annual Beef Dinner generated power stations, ,T|n That's another reason why it is important to see the Darlington Darlington station completed. To fight acid rain, Hydro has placed greater reliance on its nuclear powered generating stations so that the coal-fired facilities will not be so busy. With Darlington on line, its reactors could take on the load currently supported by coal- fired generating stations, and further reduce Hydro's acid gas emissions. Ontario is doing its part to fight acid rain. But we still need action in the American mid-west to really make a dent in this serious environmental environmental problem. Congratulations to Betty Dubeau on the; opening of the new Green Leaf Restaurant in the Village of Newcastle. Also, I was pleased to be invited by Dave Tonkin, to speak to real estate agents from across the Region of Durham about the present finding of the Select Committe on Energy as to whether Darlington Generating Generating Station should continue construction or not.
