Junior citizens meet with trustees JUNIOR CITIZENS It was a moment for the adults to be awed by the composure and achievement of the youngsters. Trustees and senior administrators for the Bruce County Board of Education met two of Ontario's 1993 Junior Citizens' at their February meeting. Both of them are Bruce County elementary school students. Ten -year-old Jeff Preston of Northport Elementary and 13 -year- old Christina Dudman of Bruce Township Central were chosen from 117 candidates province -wide for two of the 11 junior citizen awards. Jeff smiled quietly as a letter was read congratulating him and thanking him for his work on the Muscular Dystrophy campaign. He had no trouble guessing the sender's name. It was figure skater Kurt Browning; who was on his way to the Olympic skating events in Lillehammer. Jeff and Kurt worked together on the MD campaign and poster. jt's Jeff's second year on the job that has given him contact with a wide circle of celebrities. "At school Jeff is just an ordinary guy,". trustees were told. "Even though he has reason to be proud and go around' boasting about his friendship with Kurt" and a long list of prominent sports figures. Jeff was cited for his "fighting spirit" and "never give up attitude" in his Junior Citizen nomination, but he was modestin 'presenting the board chair Barry Schmidt with one of the MD posters. "I hope you can find a place to hang it," Jeff said as he rolled up to Schmidt in his fire -engine red wheelchair. The poster features Jeff and . a number of sports stars, and has raised $100,000 for MD. Schmidt promised to hang the poster "right out here in the' hallway" Meanwhile, Christina Dudman was full of "thank you" and amazement at being invited to a board meeting to get a lapel pin and personal letter of congratulations.

"All these things very few people know. about," Barrett said. What came. to public attention was Christina's cairn bravery in pulling her grandparents and uncle from a flaming car, after a collision on the way home from a bowling event last winter. Christina had a broken nose' and ankle, but immediately went to the aid of her relatives. "Had she not had the presence of mind to remove these people, they would have perished," Barrett said as he 'described how • the car exploded after Christina • had everyone safely out.

MARCH BREAK Bruce county's 10,748 public school .students will get a longer March Break -this' , year, but the Bruce County Board of Education says the extra holiday won't mean lost classroom time. Trustees agreed, on Tuesday, Feb. 2 to move two professional activity daysjp March: One day was added to the beginning and one to the end of the March. Break. The longer March Break runs March 11-21 inclusive. An earlier proposal from the board would have tacked both so- called "Rae Days" on,the end of the holiday. Trustee Frank Eagleson said elementary . teachers suggested the new plan, and complimented those teachers for "opening the doors to discussion". Students won't lose class time, according .to 'trustees, because the board is cancelling already scheduled PA days to use as Rae days. No • information has been given -on which. of the . remaining PA days for this school year have been cancelled and which remain ,on the . calendar. Schools have promised .to send that information. itura'to' page 3 • Seek residents' input on use of funding WEST WAWANOSH - .
