He stressed that its success depended on the co-operative effort of teachers, principal, parents * and community resources.

He said • there are some hard feelings about out of . town players on the Lancer team," but you have to have these players to be competitive • and people won't come out to see a team that loses." • Hill said he wished the people organizing the new team had called a meeting with the Lancer organization to table the topic for. discussion. He said he was embarrassed to learn there was going to be a WOAA -team in town at an OHA meeting instead of being • informed locally. Hilly stated he fears the attempt to ice a • WOAA team in Lucknow will mean the village will have no intermediate team in the end. • The Lancers' demise won't prove an advantage to the Goderich Sailors, whom Hill expects will also fold, because Goderich isn't allowed imports because of their size unless it is the individual's closest team.

A manager's job starts at the end of one season and continues to the beginning of the next • when he hands it over to the coach and says, get the- job done, reniarked Hill. It is his opinion that the Lancers moved from the bottom position in the league to near the top.and became play off contenders because their manager had done his home- work. Hill said he is• disappointed he won't be involved with the team this year. He's a hockey fanatic and guesses it takes that to give your time and energy to coaching or managing a team. • But' he supposes he'll have more Aim to spend,with his family this winter season and maybe he'll even get to take his own son to a few hockey games. • LES PETTER SHOES LORNE REID • SHOE REPAIR SKATE SHARPENING Lwow , hone SW2001 ' N .10.1iteekt. • • Fransi Andersson conducted one of several workshopi for Huron Countyteachers at a professional development day/held at Brookside Public School on Friday.
