(Shawn Loughlin photo) Bus Safety Tips • Keep aisles clear -- books or bags are tripping hazards and can block the way in an emergency. • Before you reach your stop, get ready to leave by getting your books and belongings together. • At your stop, wait for the bus to stop completely before getting up from your seat. Then, walk to the front door and exit, using the hand rail. • Do not cross the centre line of the road until the driver has signaled that it is safe for you to begin walking. • Stay away from the bus’s rear wheels at all times. • Have a safe place to wait for your bus, away from traffic and the street. • Stay away from the bus until it comes to a complete stop and the driver signals you to enter. • When being dropped off, exit the bus and walk ten giant steps away from the bus. Keep a safe distance between you and the bus. Also, remember that the bus driver can see you best when you are back away from the bus. • Use the handrail to enter and exit the bus. • Stay away from the bus until the driver gives his/her signal that it’s okay to approach. • Be aware of the street traffic around you. Drivers are required to follow certain rules of the road concerning school buses, however, not all do. Protect yourself and watch out! • When on the bus, find a seat and sit down. Loud talking or other noise can distract the bus driver and is not allowed. Never put head, arms or hands out of the window. Special thanks to our sponsors Have a safe school year!

Playing the red teeson the even-numbered holes shorted the course by just under 170 yards but the short par threes seemed to give some problems as the scores if anything were elevated. Roger Lloyd was in top form with four pars and a birdie on that tough fifth hole to take top prize with a gross score of 40. Wayne Gordon with three pars took second prize. There was a three-way tie for third between Clayton Ruppel, Bob Johnston and Ray Walker with Clayton Ruppel taking third honours not because of seniority, but rather the retrogression rule. Closest to the pin awards were won by Bob Johnston on number two, Russ Taylor on number four and Bill Deans on number eight. *** Staff and club members extend their deepest sympathy to memberof the kitchen staff, Brenda Munro,on the very sudden death of herhusband Sheldon. *** The weatherman with threatening forecasts of expected thunderstorms played havoc with Wednesday’s numbers. Only eight were on hand. Competition was keen though with only four strokes between the top and bottom golfer. There was a tie for top spot with John Dailleboust gaining the crown over Steve Nixon by the retrogression rule. Low-net honours went to Jim Sanford. Pin awards were won by Jim Sanford on number two and Steve Nixon on number nine. *** There was a good turnout on Thursday night with 28 on hand with a few new faces. Terry Powell continued to be the cream of the crop as he continued to hold on to his leader board position with a one-over-par score of 36. BillRobertson was in second spot witha 39 and Don Edgar was in thirdwith a 41. Teeswater’s Perry Hauck won the hidden score award. Grant Currie was the closest to the pin on number two and Doug Neil sank the longest putt on the fifth hole. *** Congratulations to Ken Saxton, getting what every golfer dreams of the illusive hole-in-one. Using a five wood Ken had his hole-in-one on the par three, eighth hole. This was Ken’s first hole-in-one. Members of the foursome were Bob Foxton, Murray Foxton and Byron Adams. *** Greenskeeper Bruce Pewtress was anything but happy when he discovered last Friday morning that some thoughtless individuals had driven a golf cart through some of the new tee additions leaving the two deep tire tracks.
