Hometotvn Fleas win at tourney The Lucknow Fleas won the 13th annual Lucknow Legion Flea Hockey Tournament Championship for the second consecutive year, at the Lucknow Arena on Saturday. This is the third time in the history of the tournament that the hometown team has won the championship. Lucknow has also taken the consolation trophy in the two consecutive years previous to the past two when they won the championship. This year's championship win was done with a flare of excitement that only those 8 -year-old boys can give us, The morning started out with the first win against Kincardine with a score of 9 - U. There 4 goals and 2 assists for Chris Stevenson; 2 goals and 3 assists for Justin Murray; 1 goal each for Vince Sticklend, Robert Hamilton and Warren Andrews and an assist each for Doug Helm, Brad Rhody, Matthew Drennan and Jarod Brophy. This led to a game against the Green machine, Ripley, who had previously beaten. Belgrave 10 - 4, This game was not a sequel to any other. it very definitely stood out as the best game of Teachers charge 'bad bargaining' A bad bargaining charge filed by Bruce County's 220 high school teachers against the county board of education was "unnec- essary" says board negotiating committee chairman Ron Gatis. According to Gatis the board "never said they wouldn't negotiate", adding the teachers were hasty in filing the charge with the Education Relations Commission (ERC) concerning contract talks for the 1983-84 school year. "if the charge was (laid) to get us back to the bargaining table, we had no intention of not going back to the bargaining table," said Gatis. Mark Ciavaglia, the teachers' chief nego- tiator says that the ERC has appointed an agent to try to resolve the dispute over the 1983-84 contract. if not resolved, the matter will he turned over to the commission. The teachers charged that the board did not meet with their negotiators 30 days after they had sent a letter of intent to open talks. The charge falls under Bill 100, which governs teacher -hoard negotiations and has been ruled as no longer valid by the hoard with the implementation of the province's inflati n Restraint Act (Bill 179). ('ia\aglia says iR( mediator David Kates set March 11 as the date for the two sides to meet in Owen Sound to resume talks for the 1982-83 contract year. The teachers' nego- tiator said the board has indicated they won't attend the meeting. The Bruce County Board of Education has indicated to m?diator, David Kates, that it will not be represented at a meeting he has called for March 11 to deal with the 1982-83 Agreement between the board and its Secondary School Teachers. The Board takes the position that the Inflation Restraint Act, 1982 extends Agree- ments and accordingly there is no role for a mediator. This view is supported by a recent Ontario Labour Relations Board decision which ruled that the Act extends the operation of Agreements which would otherwise cease to operate. "They're leaving themselves open for another bad bargaining charge," warns Ciavaglia. The Secondary School Teachers served the Board with a notice to negotiate an Agreement for the 1983-84 school year. and the Board responded with a letter dated February 14 to Alice Colton, president of O.S.S.T.F., District 44, as follows: Turn to page 4® the year and was the most emotionally charged. Lucknow were really on their toes, keeping Ripley back where they wanted them. It was for Tim McNee, his finest hour and enough could never be said for his defense. He was to say the least, spectactu- lar. Ripley had tied the game twice and with one minute, 9 seconds left Chris Stevenson scored, breaking the tie and making if 5 - 4 and then Matthew Drennan clinched it with another goal with 38 seconds left. Justin Murray made doubly sure with his goal at the 30 second mark. Goals were scored by Justin Murray with Matt Sproul assisting; Matthew Drennan and Doug Heim assisting; Chris Stevenson unassisted; Brad Rhody with Clint Murray assisting; Matthew Drennan with Chris Stevenson assisting and Justin Murray with Chris Stevenson assisting once more. Now everyone was ready for the Champ- ionship game at 7.00 p.m. it was hard to believe that these boys could continue, but they did not let us down. I'm sure they all felt their victory before they came out on the ice and their confidence showed it. They zipped up the championship with a score against Teeswater of 5 - 0. Scoring for Lucknow were Justin Murray with Chris Stevenson assisting. Matthew Drennan with Chris Stevenson assisting. Chris Stevenson unassisted. Chris Stevenson with Jarod Brophy assisting and Justin Murray with Warren Andrew assisting. None of these games were easy wins and all the boys worked their hearts out. With their hard work and the wonderful goal tending from Adam Skillen who had two shut outs and made saves uncompared anywhere, made it all possible. Teams participated in the tournament from Ripley, Teeswater, Belgrave, Blyth, Brussels, Kincardine and Mildmay. Mild- may took the consolation trophy by defeating Kincardine 6,- 0.
