The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September 16, 19'J8 Page 3 Hall of Fame to Honour Heroes Of Clarington From page 1 accept nominations every year from the public for inductees in each of the categories. Acceptance would be based on outstanding outstanding achievement, not something already covered by existing volunteer awards, Jackman points out. Nominations would be reviewed against established established criteria and then accepted or refused. Inductions would take place on an annual basis. The program could generate its own operational operational revenue by charging a modest fee for nomination nomination entries. And Jackman points out that recognition need not be posthumous. Living residents could be chosen on the strength of some very outstanding contribution contribution to society. There are three options for physically setting up a Clarington Hall of Fame: Concept One calls for having Hall of Fame photos photos and plaques identified and put up in appropriate public buildings. Each category category could be located in a suitable facility. For example, example, the sports entries could be housed at the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex, while those noted for their contribution to arts and literature literature could be set up in the libraries, and politicians politicians at the Municipal Administration Centre. "This means that, to view the entire Hall of Fame, people would have to travel around their community community to discover not only the many fascinating members who have made a lasting impression but, as an added extra, they would also discover more of their area and the facilities it has to offer," said Jackman. Concept two would sec all the categories displayed displayed together in one existing building, for example the Town Pall. Concept three would be permanent engraved stones located at intervals along the Clarington portion portion of the Waterfront Trail system. Town council voted to endorse the Clarington Hall of Fame proposal and to send it to staff and await a report and recommendation. recommendation.

Teachers Locked Out Picture This by Lorraine Manfredo Staff Writer Judging by the winning entries in the town's recent photo contest, a typical day in Clarington includes boun-. tiful crops, waterfront activities, historic sites, scenic views and lots of happy faces. Twenty-five winning photos from the "A Day in the Life of Clarington" contest were placed on display at the town hall in Bowmanville where they will remain until the end of this month.

Remember PERSONALIZED school ring Hooper's Jewellers ■ "Your Family Jewellers Since 1945" 39 King St. W. 623-5747 Bowmanville Teachers and Boards across the province are currently currently negotiating their first collective agreements under Bill 160, the province's Education Improvement Act. The new provincial legislation legislation requires high school teachers to be in class 1,250 minutes per week. That's an increase of approximately 25 minutes per day. Most boards of education translated the extra requirement into an additional class to be taught each day. In response, the union had chosen to have teachers not teach the additional additional time until a deal was reached. But, according to a news release sent out by the PVNC board, the action "would cause a serious disruption to the delivery of programs and services in the (Board's) secondary secondary schools. Given the unpredictability of the situation, situation, the Board would not be able to guarantee the safety and supervision of its secondary secondary students and therefore, therefore, has no choice but to close the secondary schools." Public Teachers • Getting Frustrated Meanwhile, public high school teachers with the Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board are still in classes. But they're not offering voluntary voluntary services such as coaching coaching or advisory roles, for students. students. Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation Local President Dave Nickle said area public high school teachers "are very frustrated. We've had teachers teaching for two weeks now, four classes a day. They're burning burning out." Teachers with the board took the job action Sept. 1st, when students returned to class. The action is in response to the extra teaching time required of educators. Nickle said teachers would like to be offering voluntary voluntary services, but "frankly, after teaching four periods straight in a day, they don't United Way Campaign From page 1 live in the local communities but work in Toronto.

United Way officials estimate estimate one out of three people will benefit, in some way, from the efforts of a community community agency supported by United Way, have the physical time or the mental energy to do that." The union is waiting to hear from the chief negotiator for the Board. "We're getting tired of sitting around, waiting waiting for the board to get together with us," said Nickle Tuesday. But he also said teachers will remain in the classrooms, at least for the foreseeable future. "At this point, we'd still like to work toward a settlement," settlement," he said.
