The Ripley tears was previously undefeated ars) laicknow knew that a vietory over Ripley would be dif. ficult In a see -sew battle Luck/Lost ultimately eawe out an top with a ..sore of 74 in its favour. The competitive fires of the two tears extended into the. coaching: ranks in the that minute of the game when Ripley pulled its goalie and then had a eontroversiial time-out which was not afforded to the Luck now team. After the first 15 minutes of play, the two teams were tied 2-2. The. Lucknow scoring was ate, by Luke Sproul and Lee .Drennan on two unassiated •goals. Lucknow looked strang and it op - peered that Ripley was on the ropes.

Tl)e first was Misted by Lee Drennan- and Ed Courtney and the second by Ed Courtney and Stuart !Untold. After it looked like the Lucknow team was going to Coast home to a victory, " Ripley put on its usual burst of deter, mination and scored three successive goals to dose out; the second period. All three goals were scored in the last four minutes. The net: result was that after the end of two periods, Ripley,, was ahead 54. ' • The third period demonstrated the much-improvedplay of the Lucknow team by showing that they could " dig down deep and come up with -solid tional hockey. Lucknow scored tnree straight goals by Jeff Porter; 'unassisted, Glen Ferguson, assisted by Luke Sproul and Stuart Rintoul, and finally Kevin Rin - tool, unassisted. Kevin w,Rintoul's goal seemed to catch the Ripley goaltender by .• s surprise as it was a long sltding slot from the boards which he made no move to deflect and just barely caught the out. side comer. This was '� in that the Rips ley goalie had played a very slid andstrong . game throughout and,„in fact, hadk team in the game ur the early Ri dugman down deep and aged a goal with 6:40 left' to go. This brought the scare toy 74 in favour of Lucknow and Lucknow had to nee all • their skills and keep the limey team off balance for the last port of the thirdperiod. ,. Ripley *mately pulled its goalie and most alto advantage of the manpower situation with brief flurries around the Lueknuw net, The coaches for Ripley called for a tine -out and, in fact, had a time-out aitihoup th the referee indicated that there wash any available time-out and •they -should get back- to the face-off circle, A mild contrdveray erupted when Lucknow attempted to take the same rime and the referee"waved them off.' Nothing untoward took pliroe and eve body was in good humour after tl fact. ' This was an exciting game with many more contests between Ripley and Lucknow to. follow.

This victory advanced the local team'to Edu�otion: Board ancieathertentative agiemenn t. _ • M , CHESLEY—In their first meeting since students now attending secondary school .SCHOOL ADDITION FOR PORT the release of a fact -finder's report,. the • Bruce County Board of Education and its secondary teachers reached a tentative agreement. The „nine -hour bargaining 'ses- sion at the administration centre recent- ly involved the board, secondary teachers and a provincial take-over team. No details of the tentative .contract; are• being released pending a ratification vote, but board spokesman Frank Eagleson said it's "a positive sign" that both sides - are prepared to°`seek appro$al for the deal. Last Monday's meeting was the first time the two sides talked ' sincethe • release of a report by fact -finder Gene ' Swimmer last month. In his report, Swimmer said salaries for Bruce teachers don't necessarily have to match Metro Toronto rates because of the lower cost of living in Bruce County. In an interview last Tuesday after the board's regular meeting, Eagleson downplayed the fact-finding report's role in negotiations. "I don't necessarily think it was a key. element,” Eagleson said. Instead, he credited the sincerity of both parties and . their intention to reach an agreement as quickly as possible for the successful con- clusion of Monday's talks. The 256 teachers have been without a contract since August 31, 1989. In June they rejected a tentative contract recom- mended by their own bargaining team. Eagleson wouldn't say how the latest agreement differs from the one rejected Thetentative agreement now goes to the teachers for a ratification vote. Lenore Alexander, District 44 -federation president, said no date has been set for that vote. If the teachers accept the con- tract, it will come back to the, board for its' ratification vote, possibly 'next month. TUITION AGREEMENT The Cape Croker Indian Band is about to take. more direct responsibility for the education of its students. The Chippewas of Nawash want to , negotiate a tuition agreement with the . Bruce Board of Education for the 30 band - on the Bruce Peninsula. Currently, the - Department of, "Indian. Affairs tis respon- sible for. the tuition payments. The change -over is part of a general move by native bands. to take more coati* over their own resources. ; 4 Bruce; Giles, superintendent with the board, says an agreement . with the .band will be similar' to one reached with the Saugeen Band for 'stnsctencs at Southamp- ton, and Port Elgin sesools. Cape Croker already has an 'agreement • with the, board for some shared elemer tars. -facilities, curriculum ' and profes-; alone), development days. Band represen- tatives hope to begin negotiating with the - 'board for the new agreement later this month... • JUNIOR KINDERGARTEN .. A letter from the Minister of Education ,. on provincial plans for, Junior Kindergarten seems to have raised more • questions than it answered for the Bruce Board of Education. ' • Education minister Sean - Conway told the. board Junior Kindergarten will be phased in over five years beginning in September, .so.that alt schools will have the program by 1994. • Capital costs will be..paid by the. pro- vince, Conway said, along with `operating , grants. `Program guidelines will also be provided so boardst can develop their own curriculum, David .Inglis, board chairman, was skeptical about the minister's. reassurances. • "There are some tricky phrases in that , letter. It will mean an impact on Bruce County fundhig," -Inglis said. Provincial. -operating grants -are subject to a ceiling, and the cost of education in Bruce ex • ceeds that ceiling, with taxpayers picking ' ftp'- the difference. The educational issues committee had a brief meeting following the regular board meeting on 'January 9 to discuss , Conway's, letter, but • according ' to superintendent ,Bruce Giles they ended up with more questions 'instead of any answers. The committee will meet again to discuss' how and when, to implement 'Junior Kindergarten m Bruce County. Tenders will be called next week for a $1.2 million addition to Saugeen District Secondary School in Port Elgin. Bruce County Board of Education trustees got an update Tuesday, Jan. 9. on 'plans for .: a two-storey addition, and renovations at the "school. The 18,000, square foot project will create. ' four classrooms, labs, and theatre *and visual arts areas.

Awarding the successful tender inset for February 5. Trustees were told all the ground floor work will be complete by September 1 so portables can be eliminated and classes continue with as little disruption aspossi- ble. It was noted the addition is being designed so future expansion can be done with reasonable effort and cost. MORE GRANTS WANTED - The Bruce Board of Education will join the Middlesex County Board in asking the province for grants to help cover the cost = of home education. Home schooling is availablefor students who .cannot attend regular. classes due to prolonged sickness or hi - jury. The grants would cover supervision costs that- are now absorbed directly by the board through taxes..
