Wednesday, June 21, 1989 TERRACE BAY/SCHREIBER NEWS Northern (eae --\7 Developments By Maurice Fenelon Northern Development Officer This is the second column of a two part column designed to make students more aware of their rights and obligations as employees. On-the-job health and safety in all work places is a joint responsi- bility of workers and manage- ment. EMployers and employees must comply' with the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Employees must work in a safe manner at all times so that they do not risk themselves or fel- low workers. If you suffer an injury, howev- er slight, you are required to report it immediately. Students employed in summer jobs by employers who are covered by the Workers Compensation Act of Ontario are entitled to all benefits offered. To find out if you are covered enquire at the Workers Compensation Board at 1-800- 465-3934. Every worker must have a Social Insurance Number, assigned to all citizens and per- manent residents as a method of identification for tax and insur- ance papers. Normally, as soon as a worker goes on an employer's payroll income tax deductions are made from wages at source. Student employees may claim exemption from income tax deductions at source by filing a TD-1 form sup- plied by the employer. It must certify that their earnings for the year will not exceed the basic exemption. Any student paid in whole or in part on a time-worker or fixed salary basis must be employed at least 15 hours or make at least $121 gross pay in a weckly peri- od in order to pay U.I. premiums. It is compulsory for employers of workers between 18 and 70 to make deductions from wages and to make matching contributions towards the Canada Pension Plan. Employers normally must make O.H.LP. deductions for stu- dents age 21 or over, however, qualifying students may apply for Premium Assistance. Students can claim exemption during vaca- tion employment if the belong to the plan as individual members or are covered by their parent's poli- cy until they are 21. An employer cannot make deductions from an employee's wages except as required by law, or agreed to by the employee in writing. An employee's written agreement for deductions. from wages is invalid if it is for faulty workmanship or for cash short- ages or loss of property where any other person has access to the cash or property.

Confederation College course believed to be first in Canada Believed to be the first in Canada, a new Computer Applications for Exceptionalities Program to be offered at Confederation College in September, responds to the need to use computers to work with people with special needs. The Ministry of Colleges and Universities has approved the offering of this unique program at Confederation College. One group of citizens in our society who stands to gain most significantly from advances in computer technology is the handi- capped. Studies have shown_that the more severe the disability, the more "freeing" is the technology. A "smart" communication device which can literally give speech to the speechless, or print enhancers which allow the visual- ly impaired access the power of the computer, are indeed freeing. People with developmental or learning disabilities are also great beneficiaries as computers are a . powerful tool to learning and to augment their skills. Computer access can provide people with physical disabilitics, marketable skills and access to the workplace. As agencies and schools strug- gle with the implementation of this technology with learners hav- ing a disability, it has become apparent that there is a need for a paraprofessional specialist who is highly trained and competent in this growing area. . A faculty team at Confederation College has been involved in extensive rescarch and development for-the past three years and have evolved an exciting and innovative program curricula. The program is houscd in a specialized, dedicated computer lab where students Icarn in a cre- alive, process-oriented milieu and have extensive opportunities to make direct applications with per- sons having exceptionalities. It is believed that if students are given opportunities and an apprgpriately enriched environ- ment in which to explore the potentials of this technology that they will develop the attributes and competence needed to fulfill this evolving role. Further, the belief is that stu- dents are growth-oriented towards continuous learning. Therefore, the program strives to provide an atmosphere congru- ent with this assumption. By striking a balance between structure/content and freedom to explore, the program provides an environment in which students may strive towards their poten- tials as creative, innovative prac- litioners using this powerful tech- nology. Police team up on patrol If you're out in your boat this Canada Day weekend, you'll probably notice something new in marine patrols. The Ontario Provincial Police and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have combined forces to expand their marine policing capabilities. They are sharing both human resources and marine equipment to establish coopera- tive and joint marine policing patrols. The increased police presence is intended to act as a preventive means, to provide more rapid response to emergencies and to reinforce safe and enjoyable use of provincial waterways. The tow major causes of fatal boating accidents are capsizing and falling overboard. So far there have been 12 fatal accidents an Ontarin waterwave | ? this year, nine of which involved capsized boats. Alcohol was a factor in nearly half of them. The OPP and the RCMP urge you to have a safe boating week- end. Graduation Vincenzo & Sera Costa are proud from McMaster University with Dramatic Arts and English with York University.
