The Lucknow Sentinel, 1993-03-31, Page 5Says minor hockey isn't fun for her son
To the editor:
Minor hockey for funs I don't
think sol
I was under the impression that
you played sports for the fun and
not just to win. Apparently this is
not the case in Lucknoiv, as I am
finding out, especially when you get
into •the older teams. The first
chance my son had to play hockey
was at age six. He played for one
year. Unfortunately I was forced to
work several jobs (including
evenings) and' could not find the
time or anyone who was able .to
take him to his games or practises
and this meant his hockey career
came to an end until Pee Wee,
when he was able to start again.

They had no one for the net so he
decided to give it a try, and dis-
covered that he really enjoyed it.
He has worked hard in the last
four years by going to hockey, camp
in an effort to improve. He never
missed a game or a practise in all
those four years unless it was can-
celled. Now all of a sudden he is
not being asked to play most games
because he is not a "number one
goalie." 1 see no fairness in this at
all.

To the editor:
I am writing to your newspaper
with the hope that some of your
readers might be able to provide me
with some information.
My name is Robert Michael
"Bob" Hayes. For a number of
years I have been researching on
the histories of a number of
branches of my family. One of
these families bore the surname
LITTLE. One of my great great
grandmothers . was named Martha
Little. She was born in County
Armagh, Ireland in 1807, came to
Canada with her parents and
siblings in 1832, and settled near
Port Hope, Ontario.
I have recently learned that a
brother of Martha Little, Joseph
Little (born about 1821) settled at

Lucknow in 1869. For a number of
years Mr. Little owned and
operated a shoe and boot making
business in Lucknow. Eventually
this business was taken over by his
sons, William J. and John H. Little.
William J. Little was still operating
the family business as late as 1912,
the year in which Joseph Little died
(December 5, 1912), at L.,ucknow.
Other children included a son
Thomas W. Little and daughters
Martha, Sarah and Mary.
I am wondering if any of your
readers have any knowledge at all
about Mr. Joseph Little, his family,
or' business. I am most anxious to
learn more about this branch of the
Little family, and I would be
grateful for any information which
your readers might be able to
He is a good student and doesn't
give,me any hassles. Playing hock-
ey is keeping him from running the
streets with nothing to do: How
would you or your child feel if the
coach told them that they were
going with their number.one players
as much as, possible and he or she
would be left on the sidelines? My
son has been asked to participate in
four games all season. He has lost
all interest in even going to prac-
tises. I feel this is very cruel, so
come on parents and coaches, this
is not the N.H.L. and the name of
the game should be FUN.

Klopp's perspective on
low income tax myths
by Paul Klopp, MPP Huron
The budget crunch has caused all
of us to look at ways government
expenditures can be reduced and
how revenue can be raised. An
article in the papers this week said
the taxes for the Canadian taxpayer
increased 25 per cent in the Last
decade. No one like to pay taxes. In
order to make taxes more fair we
must find out how well the tax
system works. This government has
had a Commission look at all taxes
with the goal of making our tax
system more fair.
Recent reports on property taxes
and taxes on low income wage
earners by The Ontario Fair Tax
Commission have documented what „
a lot of us had suspected. It found
that the low-income people carry an
unfair tax burden. In 1991, an
individual earning as little as $6,532
had to pay federal income tax. In
Ontario the point where individuals
stared paying taxes was slightly
higher at $8,477. Income tax starts
far below the Statistics Canada
