Specific site yet to be
approved in fair move

Wednesday, November 16, 1988

Despite receiving approval in principle from the province’s
Agricultural Land Commission to relocate their site from
Saanichton, organizers of the Saanich Fair have yet to iron out the
specific location within the 75-acre Cumberland Farm.

. “Because of impacts that may have an adverse affect on the -
orchardist to the north it would be more appropriate to concentrate
‘the fair site on the castern portion of the property,’ land

commission spokesman Colin Fry said.

North and South Saanich Agriculture Society director Ken
Stanlake said the society plans to sit down with land commission
representatives to resolve the detail.

“T think it can be resolved to our satisfaction,” Stanlake said.

The land commission said in its letter of approval that members
recognize the fair is an integral part of the agricultural community
in Central Saanich.

Fry said: “We're in the process of organizing a meeting between
the fair people and the commission.

“Tt’s just a matter of hashing it out to minimize impacts.”

Stanlake agrees. “We will sit down and hammer it out.” Plans
are for the meeting to be held in the first part of December.

The 120- ~year-old Saanich Fair will be held at: the Saanichton
fairgrounds in 1989 and society president Sylvia Hutt says
organizers are already busy.

The first application to move the fair was made eight years ago
but was approved for submission to the land commission by
Central Saanich council last year.

The land commission and fair organizers announced Nov. 7 that
the fair would be allowed to move, under certain conditions.
Buildings, including the RCMP barn donated to the society, may
have to be re-located if the society wishes to use them as part of

ie fair, Fry said.

and progresses in other provinces
and countries with similar aims
and difficulties to ours.

I have many concerns about our
day school education, as.] am sure
most parents and thinking citizens
have, Space docs not allow listing
all of them and I can enlarge only
on a few, as follows:

More skill is needed by all of us
in thinking and understanding and
I feel that there should be much
greater emphasis on teaching chil-

_dren to think, perhaps by asking

them very often the ‘“why”’ of
facts, rather than just the ‘‘how, -
when and where’’ of them. We
memorize many facts, but know-
ledge of facts does not give us skill
in using them in our efforts to
solve day-to-day problems intelli-
gently.

Economy of words in expressing
ideas is greatly needed in today’s
society. Perhaps more training in

encourage this.
-.. There should be more emphasis

on éssay writing and school —
debates under supervision, in .an.

attempt to stimulate ideas and the
capacity to argue logically, to see

bias.

things in it.

Children should be exposed to
kind, able and understanding
teachers who should be scholars,
enthusiastic and love their work.
This is so important today espe-
cially in-view of decreased home
and family influences (broken
homes, both parents working and
tired at the end of the day, ctc.).

Peer pressure and its harmful
consequences concern me very
much as a physician (and parent).

Tam bothered about the mullti-
plicity of courses in the educa-
tional system, (although the Sulli-
van Commission advocates even
more). 1 wonder whether children
appreciate so much choice or have
the judgment to choose wiscly.

There should be more emphasis
on the great pleasures of learning
for its own sake, rather than on job
preparation, or for post- secondary
education, again with a job in
mind. -

There scems to be an emphasis
today on ‘‘quality’? education
being equated with dollar outlay,
rather than with dollar value.

1 feel, as taxpayers, that we need
more input into teacher training, in

university departments of educa-

tion, which is so vitally important
in our system.

T.am~sure that we are all con-

cerned with the costs of education,
including teachers’ salaries. All

salary problems in the community
scem almost insoluble these days.

I often wonder why administrat-
ors (like all administrators) of
education, carn so much more
than classroom teachers, and when
a percentage increase is negotiated
receive therefore, each time, a
bigger dollar increase than they do.
