Letters to the Editor Dear Sir. Enclosed is a letter written by my legal counsel Rod Dale of Lerner & Associates. Mr. Dale has advised me to have this appear in the local paper due to the circumstances sur- rounding my departure from the Lu - can Community Centre and result- ing rumours and innuendos about my job performance, and the things that have been going on there. "The Business Administrator of the Lucan Community Centre re- cently tendered her resignation after faithfully serving the community for the past eleven years. The reasons for her resignation have been the subject of considera- ble speculation. Dani Ouimet resigned out a sense of frustration caused by the regrettable manner in which she was treated by the• Community Centre's Board of Directors. A substantial monetary settle- ment and a letter of recommenda- tion were negotiated on behalf of Dani Ouimet by her lawyer Rodney D. Dale of Lerner & Associates. The Board of Directors insisted that the amount of the settlement not be disclosed. In a strongly worded three page letter directed to the Lucan Community Centre Man - Touring SHH - Children from the Lucan Nursery School look on with interest at how blood was test- m t Committee. Dale insisted ed, while being shown by South Huron Hospital technologist Shcrric ifra.. siantial retirement altow- Nursery School toured all parts of South Huron Hospital, Thursday and Friday. ance for his client if the Board of Garden show Garden Show. Part of the crowd at the Saturday night portion of the Exeter Optimists Home and Directors were not prepared to treat her with the dignity and resbect commensurate with the position she occupied as business adminis- trator. ' The Board had a number of alleged complaints against Dani Ouimet which were dismissed by Dale as petty and trivial. Dani Ouimet feels that the nature of some of the complaints by the Board of Directors, indicate a lack of insight and understanding by the Board, into the management and ad- ministration of the Lucan Commu- nity Centre. She regrets that the Board has not asked her to train a replacement and believes the reason is -because the Board has underesti- mated the scope and extent of the. duties and responsibilities associat- ed with the position of Business Administrator. It should be noted that any work done by the Business Administrator was completed as of the week of her resignation, and that all contracts, invoicing, monthly statements, scheduling and all purchasing of supplies for the Community Centre and up -coming Craft Show organi- zation were completed to date upon her leaving March 10, 1989. Any problems, confusion or dis- organization or extra staff hours en- countered after this time, arc a re- . suit of the Board underestimating the dutiets d res pnlibilitirs of'tltt; position and the lack of insight in training someone for the position prior to their decision." Dani Ouimet Hensall Tykes "A" champs GODERICH - Hensall Tykes rosc to the occasion and defeated the Goderich Collegiate Sports Mites 4-3 in the final game of the Huron- Pcrth Tier II Houseleague champi- onships. The league rivals had filet three times through the year in regi' a= • s a on piay with Goddfich winning two of the three games. The final game was all that any crowd could ask for with end-to-end action, solid goaltending and two overtime peri- ods. Both teams played an exciting first period with great scoring op- portunities, but were unable to beat either goalie. Jeff Campbell finally put Hensall on the board one min- u.e into the second period after skating through the Goderich de- fense and picking the corner of the net. It was an exciting moment for young Campbell as he notched his 200th goal of the season. One minute 10 seconds later, Godcnch's Ben McAdam slid one past goalie Jeremy Willert to tie the score. Campbell then took over, scor- ing his second goal of the game 30 seconds later and completing his hat trick with jut -over -frac minutes re- maining in the second period. Goderich fought back and Chris Fielder scored two goals in a 40 second span to once again tie the game at the end of the semi ,per-. '411g1"1"11"..1" --Great defensive play by both young squads resulted in a scoreless third period. The first three-minute overtime session was exciting, as several attempts by Casey O'Brien and Campbell to score were denied by Goderich goalie Brad Powell. Hensall goalie Jeremy Willert was again outstanding. In the sudden death, second over- time period, Campbell scored into an empty net with 1:28 remaining to give Hensall the win. .Hensall advanced to the final game in the tournament with a win over Huron Park 6-4. Campbell led the scoring with five goals and Ryan Groot with one. Hensall defeated Bayfield 6-0 in the first game.
