But even then, the mixture would be best in another another part of town. He suggested that a site in the business district would be preferable. "Redirect the investment to downtown," downtown," he suggested. Mr. Willsner asked the committee members if another day care was needed. A day care centre, he explained, would not be an "appropriate" use of the building. He asked committee members to examine the effect of "prolonged "prolonged exposure to children's noise" on senior citizens. The plans for the Newcastle Family Resource Centre include community oriented administration offices. They "give a broad scope of descriptions," Mr. Willsher said. It is the increase of traffic in the area that the group is really against. "A doctor's and dentist's office and other offices will generate a traffic increase," increase," Mr. Willsher noted. The town must look at "the long term impact on the community," he said on behalf of the neighbours. Speaking in support of the Newcastle Newcastle Village Family Resource Centre at Monday's committee meeting was Katherine Blake. The centre will provided structured programs for young people, children, ana adults who now find they have time on their hands. "Everyone needs to be nurtured," said Ms. Blake. Project coordinator Debbie Nowlan told committee members there may be people who oppose the project, but she added that there are many more who support it. "I'm surprised," Ms Nowlan said after after hearing Mr. Willsher's comments. "I've walked the area and talked with people in the neighborhood and answered answered their misconceptions regarding the 24-hour element (daycare centre) and parking." The application, submitted by Ken Slater of Kinrow Investments Inc. is to be referred back to staff for processing and a report. Hungry Students at School inadequate supervision 32.65 per cent; and economics 26.5 per cent. But it is hard to say what choices the students have actually made, says Marilyn Macintosh, the board's social services counsellor. "Students in senior public school From Page One gestion Bazaar Raises Funds for Strathaven Library that the school provide a breakfast by having a supply of food on hand ana educating students.

In many cases, the school provides food to the students. In other cases, parents are contacted, students eat their lunches early, other students share their lunches, the health nurse becomes involved, and student education education happens. However in 18.3 per cent of the cases, cases, no action is taken. The respondents placed parental education education at the top of a list of actions that might be taken to remedy the problem of hungry students.

"It has been researched over the years that children learn better when they have adequate nutrition every day," she said. The survey, which was sent out to 50 schools in the board's area, was answered answered by 49 schools. "The survey was not done as research research but as a survey," said Ms Macintosh. Macintosh.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: AVAILABLE DATE: I The chairperson of the Northumberland and new- castle Board of Education says recent criticisms of the Board's budget leave out some significant facts. Bob Spooner said that while the budget has increased increased since 1985, so has the student population. "Compared to increases in other boards, the increases at Northumberland and Newcastle are below the provincial provincial average," said Mr. Spooner. Director of Education, Dick Malowney, said that "in 1984, the average cost per pupil for the 38 Ontario county boards was $3,149, while Northumberland and Newcastle's cost was $3,022." That was about $117 less than average. The Director added that by 1990, the provincial average average was $5,083 per pupil while the average tor Northumberland Northumberland and Newcastle was $4,777. In other words, the school board's cost per pupil was $306 less than the provincial county board average. average. Mr. Malowney said that student enrolment has grown by about three per cent a year since 1985 and now stands at about 22,000 students.. This means more teaching staff. "Most of that growth mas been ^t the elemental elemental level where teacher/student teacher/student ratios aiVe lower." Another consequence of that growth is the need for more school space, Mr. Malowney Malowney said. Since 1985, the Board has built or is building building three new elementary schools and six major additions additions to schools. These include include the new elementary schools in Port Hope and Co- bourg, and Dr. Emily Stowe Public School in the Cour- tice area which opened last fall. Major additions include the Vincent Massey Public School in Bowmanville; the S.T. Worden School in Cour- tice; the Plainville Public School and Baltimore Public School as well as the Hastings Hastings Public School and Campbellford District High School. The director of education also listed the following factors factors affecting the board's budget. •Junior kindergarten, which is now mandated by the province of Ontario. •Inflation and the resulting resulting higher costs in areas such as busing and heating. •Increases in special services services to provide programs 508% That's how much Canada Post has proposed to increase the cost to mail The Canadian Statesman each year.

Mr. Spooner said another reason for increased costs is "downloading." Downloading occurs when the federal or provincial government pass-. es a law with a price tag attached attached to it but does not pass down the money to cover cover those new costs. Some recent and major examples of downloading include include pay equity which is expected expected to cost' the board about $1.5 million; the Employers' Employers' Health Tax which costs the board an additional additional $1.76 million annually; new federal UIC costs; and the federal Goods and Services Services Tax. Mr. Spooner noted that the Board has worked actively actively with other Boards in a provincial network called the Ontario Public Education Education network to lobby, the provincial government to restore restore education funding to the traditional 60 per cent level. As well, the Board holds annual meetings with area MPPs. The most recent meeting took place this past winter when the MPPs promised to bring the board's concerns to the government's government's attention.
