taught WORK WITH SIllHCNlS Special education teachers also work with particular students within the classroom or act as 11 resource to the regular teacher he said Its all education Bolger says of the special program and the regular classroom activities There are just some youngsters who need special assistance Much of the problems children have result from basic inability to cont niutiicatc effectively Bolger said As result we have pound for pound more speech improvement classes than is normal but it is an area we think impor tant Children with generally accommodated in system and Bolger said the separate board relies as does the public board on various community agencies for help in dealing with problems beyond education The size of the board also presents pro blem when attempting to bring several severe problems are Special education based on contact says Bolger the public students with similar problem together in one place Often there are only few kids who ex hibit any one difficulty Bolger said You may just have one youngster who requires very specialized kind of service but it is very difficult to deliver for one Some 10 per cent of the boards $11 million budget is spent on special education he said Ministry grants cut At the same time the province has been cutting back on grants to school boards it is claiming more money will be spent during the next few years on improving special education programs Bob Newman the Simcoe County Board of Educations superintendent of student sercies says the province will have to find another source of revenue to pay for the ex pected expansion Money for special education should not come at the expense of regular board of education programs he said If the trend to cut costs continues we may not decrease service but the local tax payers are going to have to pay for it says Bill Bolger director of the Simcoe County Roman Catholic Separate School Board The ministry is going to eventually get the message Bolger said The ministry of educations special education branch is currently studying the question of funding but boards have been told they will receive grants up to 90 per cent of the total special education expen diture in the case of the Simcoe County board Yet since 1977 the province has trimmed grants to the board by some three per cent or approximately $24 million The separate school board has suffered similar loses that were in proportion to its $11 million budget Special education spen ding has increased substantially since 1974 and changes in the Education Act goveniing such programs are in the offing report If no legislation is required cabinet may announce deci sion to determine which pro blems will take priority can be made by cabinet said Foster If cabinet wants to act without making regulation under an existing act deci sion will be left until fall when the Ontario Legislature re opens he said th axamlner Weldvva 121010 13 Vandals worry OPP village as incidents increaSing here By RICHARD THOMAS Of The Examiner Ontario Provincial Police and municipal officials in the villages of Port McNicoll Vic toria Harbour and Coldwater are becoming increasingly con cerned about the growing pro blem of vandalism in these communities And while elected represen tatives from these municipalities in Tay Township have established committee to try and pinpoint the reasons police say lack of manpower is their handicap in dealing effec tively with the problem Since 1964 the number of oc currences handled by the OPPs 41member detachment in Midland has quadrupled says Corporal Bill Bailey while the forces size has remained static since 1972 Cpl Bailey says the detach ment is responsible for cover ing an area of about 780 square kilometres including almost 1800 kilometres of roads and in the summer the population grows from 30000 to about 100000H In addition the detachment has five men tied up in boat patrols alont the resort areas lakeshore and have to lend some others to Wasaga Beach The majority of incidents says Cpl Bailey occur in Port McNicoll and Victoria Harbour KEPT BUSY Officers with the OPP wers kept busy Wednesday in Port McNicoll for example with suspected case of arson in va cant house two break and enters and the uprooting of four new stop signs at major in tersection Such examples of senseless destruction are by no means rare says Cpl Bailey few weeks ago gangs of teenagers celebrating their high school graduation just about destroyed an area of beach between Roundtree and Balm Beaches in Tiny Township he says They tore down fences drove through cot tage properties and dumped garbage into three weels The mess they left for others to clean up included more than 1200 empty bottles and large quantities of broken glass he adds We no sooner step on one case than another one pops up Police would like to institute program whereby they could become more visible on the streets and patrolling the beat outside of their cruisers he says But we simply dont have the manpower Cpl Bailey says the number of juvenile offenders is high These kids dont seem to know what to do with themselves and they cant create their own entertainment he says It seems to be sign of the times PROBLEM ATTRIBUTED Douglas Jackson Reeve of Victoria Harbour attributes the problem not only to kids having too much free time on their hands but also to the breakdown of the family Parents dont seem to care anymore where their kids are he says Reeve Jackson says there will always be fringe group in society that will do what they can to disrupt it But here we are talking about the bulk of the kids Any night in Victoria Har bour teenagers can be seen milling around the main in tersections he says looking for something to do Basically they are good kids but they are bored to tears and have no restraint Reeve Jackson says the com mercial sector of the communi ty is going through some pret ty hard times right now which makes summer jobs scarce and the village cannot afford facilities such as com munity centre The need for additional police protection is recognized by the three villages which have formed committee made up of one member from each municipality together with Tay Township representatives to take this matter up with the provincial government One of the things am hop ing the committee will do is come up with an offer to help pay for this says Reeve Jackson The committee is also at tempting to identify whatever social problems may be caus ing the vandalsim increase he says but whether it can suc cessfully pinpoint solution as well as uncertain There is something wrong with the social fabric and am not even sure we can fix it Relations course draft finished given to board By TERRY FIELD Of The Examiner Simcoe County Board
