Lottery proceeds enhance technology
BY GREGOR CAMPBELL
SSP Staff
Gambling has paid off for
the Huron -Perth Catholic
District School Board.
"We have done vory well
once again in the 'Fantasy
Lottery', director of educa-
tion Gactan Blanchette
reported to the hoard's Feb.
23 regular meeting at Dublin.
"On the first lottery, 2,510
(12.55 per cent) tickets were
purchased by residents of
Huron and Perth counties.
For the second 'Fantasy
Lottery' 3,250 (14.32 per
cent) tickets were purchased
by residents of the two.
"This translates to a net
proceeds of $126,587 for our
system.
"By combining the pro-
ceeds of the two lotteries
with our TIPP 2 project, tech-
nology for students in our
system has been greatly
enhanced," the director's
report continues. "Wc cer-
tainly would not be where we
are today in technology with-
out it."
Trustees approved partici-
pation in the third lottery of
the Monsignor Feeney
Foundation, now in the plan-
ning stage, "with proceeds
directed towards the enhance-
ment of technology for our
students."
"BETTER ODDS"
Trustee Bernard Murray
said he was "pleasantly sur -
prized" by the success of the
first two "Fantasy" lotteries
here.
Trustee Mike Miller said
despite the reluctance of
some to gamble, school
boards have'an advantage
when in comes to such lotter-
ies, which have proliferated
in the province and country
for various money -making
purposes recently.
Chair Ron Marcy agreed.
Much of this particular lot-

Man fined
for assault
A 2I -year-old Walton man
was fined $500 for assaulting
his fiance.
Judge GJ Brophy told
Jamie Edward McNichol, "If
anger or alcohol is a problem,
now at the age of 21, k the
time to deal with it... any-
thing which led you to take
the actions you took leads me
to be believe a problem
exists."
McNichol, of RR#1
Walton, pleaded guilty in
Goderich Criminal Court on
Feb. 23 to assault causing
bodily harm.
Crown Robert Morris said
McNichol and his common-
law spouse had returned to
their home drunk on the night
of July 20.
The woman, who had
arrived home first, came
downstairs when McNichol
arrived with friends and
turned on music.
She began to argue with
McNichol. Both slapped each
other. Then he pushed her
against a wall and struck her
face. He pushed her as she
tried leaving. He also pulled
her by her hair.
When she went to Seaforth
hospital -with bruises on her
body, she was told to take
Tylenol 3 if she needed it.
Defense lawyer Glen Carey
said the couple have had no
further difficulties.
