The Cents that made it to the snatch arc all stars of this show, and ratings may well - prove low in Port Stanley, after short-staffed Scaforth tor- pedoed the hometown Lakers 7-3 Saturday night. It was certainly the Cents' finest hour so far this Ontario Hockey Association Junior "D"evelopment League season. It was a "nothing" game for the Scaforth, who will finish third and can't move up or down in thc Morenz Division standings, but more like a "must win" for the Lakcrs, who came lobo the contest in First place in the other division of • the McConnell Conference with an ever -so -slim Iea(I on the two clubs nipping at their heels - thc. Bulldogs of Mt. Brydgcs 4 and the defending OHA chain- - pion Thamcsford Trojans. The Ccntcnaires had but 14 skaters to start the game, only two of these regular delen- cemen, then lost scoring leader Steve Mclnally to injury after the first period.

Varsity Blues to play exhibition game at SDHS It was Scaforth's second win of the weekend. They are coming around. Friday night on home ice in front of about MO fans, Chad McCallum scored the winner with about seven minutes left in the third as the Cents bet- tered the Belmont Bombers 5- 3. Shaun Anstctt then iced it, with a powerplay goal with seconds left, mathematically eliminating thc Bombers from post -season play. Back-up-go>der Mike Stephenson heft the fort and was solid, notching both weekend wins in the Cents' net, in replac ' of Scott Wood who took stitches in the head at practice Tuesday. The Centenaires play the final game of their regular schedule tonight (Wednesday) at Mt. Brydges. It is a make-up and was snowed out one weekend last month. First-round playoff dates and times have not yet been set. Seaforth now owns a .622 winning percentage, sitting in third and waiting on the second -place Lucan Irish (clinched, but only two points up on them) in the first round of the playoffs. The Cents have 20 wins, one tie and 16 losses, five of these in overtime, which counts the same as ties for a point in the standings. Jason Henderson, 'Corrivcau and Anstett also lit the light for "the Green" in Port Stanley. Tim -Barton, Scott Wright and Jeff Volland did likewise against the Bombers at Scaforth the night before.

IIY SIiAUNA HEMINGwAY Special to the Expositor One of the greatest chal- lenges facipg intercollegiate Athletics at the university level is encouraging interest,. involvement and support • from the public. With these interests in mind, Scaforth District High School (SDHS) has arranged a visit, from the University of Toronto Varsity Blues women's volley- ball team in Seaforth next Tuesday. This will provide students 'to see unix ersity ath- letics firsthand, an opportunity that would otherwise be unreal- istic for many. Marcy McCall, a member of Scaforth's student council organizing the afternoon says, "the purpose of it is to get people keen again." Each year, Scaforth faces an increasity lack of interest in its competi- tive athletics both from athletes and fans. • Head Coach of the Varsity Blues, • Kristine Drakich, devotes a great (Zeal ofatrble to promoting athletics in high schools around 'southern Ontario. She was the guest speaker at last year's annual SDHS athletics banquet. As Canada's top-ranked female beach ,volleyball player and a former National team member, Drakich maximizes her involvement through an ,organization called F.A.M.E. •(Female Athletes 'Motivating Excellence). "The idea 'behind (FAME) is to increase awareness and participation 111 athletics and to - provide female role 'models in sport for young girl.," says • Drakich: It was through FAME that Marcy was able to contact the Blues coach. ' "Marcy has shown a great deal of initiative in exposing people to a different level of sport in this way. She deserves credit for bringing this oppor- tunity to thou," says Drakich. Presently, the Varsity Blues teaai is ranked first in Ontario and sixth in Canada. At this we.kend's McMaster tourna stent, they hope to become pros incial chanipions, a title whn:h eluded there in last year's finals. Beginning at approximately 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 20, the Vai ,ity Blues will play what is called a "Blue/White game at SDI IS where half of the team will take on the other half. Following the match the players and coach will be av,:dablc to answer questions and demonstrate skills. Froth students and members of the community' are encour- aged to attend. A sntall,dona- tion will be requested at the loot • the profits, of which are to by given to a lural charity via the SDHS student council.

Roxanne Brown Chair PaufCarroll Director Jun THE NttMON EXPOSITOR, F bruary 14, 1$W7 kindergarten will continue in 1996 Junior kid arten (JK) will be offered in Huron County Public Schools for the 1996-97 school year. After the provincial govern- ment made JK a board option for 1996, the Huron County Board of Education made a decision Monday to continue with the program for the upcoming school year. Despite a reduction in grant rates, the board was told at its January meeting' that it appears there will be no fur- ther impact on the property taxpayer to continue the pro- gram at this time. The revised grant rate for the program said, adding that although the will continue to provide a small surplus, estimated at $10,000 for the current fiscal year, despite the fact that the reduction in grant support reductions removes about $250,000 in surplus revenue from board coffers. Registration for the 1996-97 program had been delayed until a `decision of JK's future had been decided, Director of Education Paul Carroll told board trustees at the regular .February board meeting. "I support the program," he decision is not up to him, many educational merits of the program have been shown. The motion tabled by the board until the February meeting stating that the HCBE would continue to offer the program only if there are no additional cost to Huron taxpayers was defeat- ed. "I am very impressed with the program' stated Trustee Bea Dawson, who said that she was not in favor of the program in the first place. She also made note of the board and school's efforts to try and find alternative uses for school space that is empty. If JK was to he ended, 'there would be a lot more empty spaces in our schools." The board voted to continue to offer JK for 1996-97 and it will review the program's future once again when the Ecker report is made avail- able based on financial and any other relevant informa- tion available at that time.
