Transfer Ripley high school students By Ab Wylds On Tuesday evening last week, April 19, 1983, the evening news on the CKNX Wingham radio carried the announcement that the Bruce County Board of Education meeting that day in Chesley would not offer secondary education in Ripley next September. This was announced just before the supper hour. Later in the evening it stated that the students would be transported to Kin- cardine and that the six teachers would not lose their jobs, We have been asked for our thoughts on this ap- parent reversal in plans. Well Ab and Fran Wylds are disheartened, disappointed and saddened by it. But then what does that matter? Last Thursday afternoon Carl and Pat Brennan arriv- ed back at their home and store in Ripley from a three week vacation in the sun- shine at Hollywood, Florida. In this column last week the return of Don and Anna MacTavish and Francis and Margaret Gemmell from Tamarac, Florida, was reported. They were there for the winter. Norman and Mabel Bar- nard spent January and ear- ly February in Daytona Beach. Mr. and Mrs. John Kosmerly and son John Jr. visited for two weeks with his parents at their home in Edgewater south of Daytona. All these places are on the east or Atlantic side of the state. A month ago Niels Frederiksen returned home to Ripley after spending three months at Fort Walden I3each near Pensacola in north west Florida. Niels had spent November and December in Texas and Alabama. Recently Mrs. Adeline Martyn returned from three months in St. Petersburg on the west or Gulf side of Florida. Still to return are Mr. and Mrs. Walter Forster who spend the winter at Pinellas Park not far from St. Petersburg. Spr Dinner Th annual spring noon day er at St. Andrews Unite urch in Ripley was heldiast Thursday with the usual large crowd in atten- dance. All report a wonderful meal. Folks came from the neighbouring towns and as far away as London. To ac- commodate the crowd it was necessary to have two separate sittings for the din- ner. After attending this church dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Reg Moore of Hanover, Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Benson of London and Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Shiells of Ripley visited during the afternoon with Dave and Grace Mur- ray. Back Home On Monday morning, Mrs. Adeline Martyn called to report that her brother Cecil Mooney, who suffered a severe stroke while on winter vacation at St. Petersburg and was hospitalized there, was returned home to Cahada. By special arrangements he was flown to Toronto air- port and by ambulance from there to Woodstock Hospital where he is undergoing therapy and possible further treatment. Many people remember Cecil as a great hockey player and all wish him well in the days ahead. Recently Adeline flew from Florida to Toronto. After a short stay there her daughter Bernice and hus- band Rod MacLennan drove her back to Ripley. Passed Away The funeral for Mrs. Dan Gillies is this afternoon at the MacKenzie McCreath Funeral Home in Ripley. The former Frances Emer- son she passed away in her 94th year in Kincardine and District Hospital on Sunday, Spendfiv4 weeks in Saskatchewan Katherine Collins spent five weeks in Saskatchewan. While there she stayed with Dave and Jean Jorden and also visited other cousins Mery and Vi Patterson, Bill and Kerry Patterson and Jim and Mildred Wright all of Regina. Katherine spent time with John and Marlene Collins and Dawn Star at Brabant Lake in north Saskatchewan. While there she welcomed the new baby, Katherine Anne. John is principal of the school at Brabant Lake. Bonnie I3oyle left Sunday for Oregon to attend an In- ternational Early Childhood Education Conference. \Tanyia Farrell was five on Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Elliott and Rae Stanley had supper with Joyce and John Farrell and family Saturday evening. Sandra and Don Forester attended Ann Colwell and Ken Reid's wedding recep- tion, Saturday evening. Don and Anne McCosh were wed- ding guests. Deanna Morley Scott and Close Ripley high school... •from page 1 "Yes, I was surprised because 1 was aware that the administration had established a fairly good program for the students at Ripley," commented Mr. Schmidt. "There was also a possibility of some Grade 13 students." KDSS will probably require another "two to three" portables, to accomodate the new students, Mr. Schmidt said but the chair- man added that the administration, himself and Mr. Snobelen will be lobbying the Ministry of Education to look at an addition for the local school. KDSS and Wiarton District High School were placed on a priori- ty list for capital expenditure projects by the board this year. Mr. Schmidt said that staff at the Ripley school would be absorbed into the county system, with the majority probably coming to Kincardine. There is also a possibility of some staff remaining at the senior elemen- tary school in Ripley. Mr. Wylds, Huron Township Deputy Reeve John Gamble and Mr. Culbert all echoed sentiments that the departure of the village's high school students will affect life in the Huron Township -Ripley conununity. "It will affect our fall fair," said Mr. Wylds. "Everyone of those grades put in a float. The students used to go up town at noon and leave 25 or 50 cents." "There will be a definite communications problem," added Mr. Gamble. "Word of mouth won't work now in letting people know what's going on and being aware of what's happening." seetaMMIP WANT ADS PHONE WORK MAGIC 52s-2822 Catherine Scott had supper with Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Nicholson and family on Sun- day evening.
