Belgrave man fined for A 19-year-old Belgrave man was fined $1000 in Ontario Court in Wingham, Oct. 16 after pleading guilty to assault. Judge R.G.E. Hunter imposed the fine after reading the presentence report prepared by the probation officer on Steven L. Michie, R.R.5, Brussels. Mr. Michie had pleaded guilty to assault on Mark Fraser at a high school party on May 26 in Howick Township.

This encour­ agement comes in a practical form - seniors are being offered a re­ gular registration fee at the half- price rate of $27.50. Entitled Canada: Break Up or Restructure - The Consequences for Our Future, the conference will feature speakers with varying points of view and will provide several forums for debate. Panels, reaction panels, discussion stations and a speakers' comer will allow delegates to present their views. Senior citizens are being sought assault got on top of him and struck him around the head. Mr. Fraser had spent two days in hospital recover­ ing from the beating. But defence attorney Alan Mill described the presentence report as "one of the best pre-sentence reports I have read" and said Mr. Michie had never been in trouble before. He suggested only a fine as punishment. Crown Attorney Dick Lockwood said he could agree with the fine but felt it should be a substantial one. Normally, he said, a jail term would be appropriate but Mr. Michie had a previously unblem­ ished record. Judge Hunter imposed a $1000 fine on the Uni­ versity of Guelph student. to participate in the conference because of their experience and their unique point of view, says University of Guelph president Brian Segal. “Because many young people will be at the conference, it's important that people who have experienced much in this country share those experiences,” says Mr. Segal. “This is what our seniors offer and it's important that they come. So many of them have fought for the values that have cre­ ated this country.” To register, call Continuing Edu­ cation at the University of Guelph, 519-767-5000. THE TOUR by Jill Jenkins On Friday, October 11, the grade eight class at Blyth P.S. went on a tour of the Stratford Festival. First we went to see the Festival Theatre Auditorium. It was huge. It seats over 2,000, including special seats for people in wheel chairs. Our tour guide showed us where the actors wait for their cues. That area is called the vomitorium. It was very interesting to see. Next we went to see where the costumes were cut and sewn. There were boxes and boxes of all shapes, sizes and colours of buttons for the cos­ tumes. In between the tours we stopped at the Donut Delight. For our second lour we went to the Festival Theatre’s warehouse where we saw over 2,000 costumes hanging in rows and rows from the ceiling. We even got to try some of them on but our thanks goes to Mrs. Hulley and Mrs. Cronin who forgot a camera, because there is no evidence of our unusual behaviour. For lunch the whole class went to McDonalds. What an experience. During lunch Courtney Sauve went away from her table. When she arrived back some little mice had put carrots, tomatoes and french fries in her pop. From McDonalds we headed to the Festival Theatre where we settled into excellent seats. THE PERFORMANCE by Charlene Hulzebos After the tours were finished, we drove back to the Festival, to see the feature production “Treasure Island”. We arrived back to the Festival after a five minute drive, we got off the bus and went into the Festival. We were given our tickets and waited for the house to open. When the house opened we went to our seats. The play finally started. It was very exciting. Some of the scenes were very interesting, for example, the storm that happened during the performance. The strobe lights started blinking to represent lightening. At the same time actors were up in the crows nest of the ship at the ceiling of the theatre. By using ropes with special clip attach­ ments, it appeared that the men were falling from the crow's nest to the water below. The play was very interesting and some parts were funny. We had one intermission in the play. The production ended at 4:30 p.m. and we arrived home at 5:30 p.m. We had a very enjoyable day. CROSS-COUNTRY by Cappy Onn On October 16, B.P.S. cross­ country runners went to the cross­ country meet in Hullett. The first race of the day was run at approxi­ mately 12:45. It was the Midget Boys.
