Making money main concern
of Lambton board trustee
Dollars and cents seemed
to be the only concern of one
trustee on the Lambton
County Board of Education
when the study on'declining
enrolment for Grand Bend,
Bosanquet and Kinnaird
schools was presented at
Monday night's board
meeting in Sarnia.
Trustee Mary Anne Miller
wanted to know where the
income from Grand Bend
school was, if the school is
used by the public each night
of the week. The board
implemented a "user -pay"
fee schedule last year, and
Mrs. Miller said they should
be collecting for use in
Grand Bend.
Principal Betty Fitchett
said that activities for which
.there would have been a
charge no longer take place
at the school. All the ac-
tivities at the school now
involve children or staff, and
there is not supposed to be a
charge.
Trustee Dr. William
McLean asked that
superintendent of business
Al Ewasko look into the
amount of money collected
Fined on
drug charges
A London woman charged
in Grand Bend last summer
with trafficking drugs, told a
Sarnia courtroom that she
needed money to pay
veterinary bills.
Bonnie Holt, 22, said that
her dog had a virus which
had required expensive
treatments. She was found in
possession of three tabs of
LSD in August by Ontario
Provincial Police in Grand
Bend.
Her mother was found to
be in possession of 60 grams
of Hashish, but told police
that the drugs belonged to
her daughter.
Holt was fined $800 for
possession of hashish for the
purpose of trafficking and
$200 for the possession of
LSD.
Judge Andrew Lang told
Holt a jail sentence is nor-
mally imposed for such an
offence but said he gave Holt
a "substantial" fine instead,
because she didn't have a
previous criminal record.
for the use of the school.
The board meeting room
was packed with parents
concerned about school
closing. There was standing
room only, as the discussion
took place.
The report of the school
district study committee was
presented by committee
chairman and Bosanquet
trustee Dorothy Wight. The
•
report was made up by the
study committee which
consisted of two other
trustees, Ken Gray, and
board chairman Jean
McPherson. As well,
representatives of each of
Grand Bend, Kinnaird and
Bosanquet schools sat on the
committee.
The committee had
unanimously decided at
Mary's
musings
BY MARY ALDERSON
We had to win. There was
no way we could lose. Our
hockey playing husbands had
reached the finals, easily
maintaining a hold on first
place throughout the season.
And we wives were at this
game in full force. cheering
them on the championship.
The winner of the series
had to take three games out
of five. Already our boys had
won the first two games. A
win tonight would confirm
their superiority.
When I told Inv friends
here at the Times -Advocate
that the hockey season
would end tonight, there was
some skepticism. Ex-
perienced sports
photographer Ross Haugh
asked if I intended to take a
team picture of the big
winners. When I answered
yes. he laughed.
Ross says that whenever
he goes to what is supposed
to be a final game to take a
team picture. the other team
invariably makes a come-
back and turns the series
around.
I left my camera at home.
We had to win. I wasn't tak-
ing any chances. I promised
the guys I'd get their picture
at an upcoming tournament.
The team. though. wasn't
worried about jinxes. They
came to the game fully
prepared for a victory.
Tucked inside their hockey
equipment were the in-
gredients for a champagne
celebration.
Such optimism' Such con -

fidence! How could we lose
with a goalie who leans back
against the net. grins at the
opposing players and sings
at the top of his lungs, "Oh
Lord. it's hard to be
humble
The -goalie was great. All
year I've known him only as
•Ruby Each time he made
a fantastic save, we in the
stands would chant, "Ru -
bee. Ru -bee. Ru -bee!!" I
asked some of the other
wives what Ruby's real
name is
Nobody knew. Later I ask-
ed some of the guys on the
team. They said that his
name is Robotham , but they
still didn't know his first
name.
Eventually I learned that
his name is Bill. Just think
it took the entire hockey
season to get on a first name
basis with the goalie. but
goalies. I found out. prefer
nicknames.
Now. back to the game.
Despite Ruby's confidence,
the puck made its way past
him in the first period. We
fans were devasted.
Our boys just couldn't
seem able to retaliate. Even
though this is supposed to be
a rec league with no -hit, no-
body contact hockey, some
tempers were flaring.
Finally. near the end of
the third period our boys
were able to score. Not just
once. but twice. In the
stands. we went crazy.
The game was over. Our
boys. the Arkona A's had
beat out the Watford Flames
to once again become the
Lambton-Middlesex Rec
League Champs.
Just to prove they aren't
chauvenists. the guys took
quick showers, dressed, and
invited their wives into the
dressing room for the
celebrations. Later the party
was moved to the Taxandria
Hall in Arkona. There was
some talk about getting out
the town's fire truck, but it
never materialized.
The guys thanked us girls
for our loud cheering sec-
tion. and for joining them in
the celebrations. Little do
they know that we were in
fact celebrating the end of
the hockey season -- the
end of airing and washing
smelly hockey equipment
-- the end of standing
around in cold arenas.
Until next year.

their last meeting March 11
that all tnree schools should
remain open. This report
was given to the board at
Monday night's meeting, so
that the board could ask
questions about it. No
discussion on the report or
any voting will take place
until the next board meeting
April 13.
Chairman Dorothy Wight
told the Times -Advocate in a
later interview that the
board trustees appeared to
be satisfied with the report
because so few questions
were asked. Mrs. Wight said
that it is a comment on the
value and the thoroughness
of the report that Mrs. Miller
could only ask about the
payment for the use of the
school.
Mrs. Wight admitted that
the board policy on the
school user pay fees is
"cloudy". She said that there
are five different categories
for the use of the school. In
the first category, no charge
is made for the use of the
school, if school age children
are involved. The price goes
up depending on whether the
use is for the public, private
clubs or commercial
businesses.
The study committee's
report was presented to the
board at 9:00 p.m. Earlier
in the meeting Mrs. Miller
had said that the board was

two car accident on Walker

Pee wees win championship
Several Grand Bend boys
playing on the Thedford
Peewee hockey team came
home from Goderich as
winners of the Young
Canada Peewee tournament.
In their final game Friday
night, the Thedford team
beat Drayton to take the 'D'
division championship.
Thedford beat Drayton 7-5
in a very close match. In the
first period Drayton started
off the scoring with a 1-0
lead. Thedford retaliated
with two goals. Buddy
Richardson scored the first
goal with an assist from John
McIntyre, and John scored
the second goal unassisted.
Thedford had the only goal
of the second period to
make the score 3-1. John
Picken put the puck between
the pipes with help from
Buddy.
The scoring went back and
forth between the two teams
in the third period, with •
Drayton never quite cat-
ching up. John Picken scored
again with assists from John
McIntyre and Buddy
Richardson. John McIntyre
scored with a shot from
Richard Bacon, and Buddy
Richardson scored the last
