Country singers to perform
at concert in Goderich
The Madawaska Solution
"This is 1994, not 1974, and it is
Huron County, not suburban
Toronto."
Dear Editor:
On May 2, the Central Huron Secondary School
(CHSS) Parents' Liaison Committee made a presen-
tation to the Huron County Board of Education at
their regular meeting, asking for their consideration
of an alternate solution to the CHSS/shared Catholic
high school dilemma. The presentation was entitled
"Unified School Concept. - the Madawaska Solu-
tion", a brief summary of which is attached.
This proposal outlines a common-sense, afford--
ble solution that has been implemented successfully
by the Madawaska Valley District High School in
Barry's Bay, Ontario, addressing both the need for
Catholic education and the economic realities of the
day. The unified school described is surely a mod-
ern, state-of-the-art secondary school; educating in
a climate that promotes unity among students and
staff of all religions. The opportunity for all stu-
dents to participate in Religious Educcrion courses
is an excellent addition to the curriculum and should
produce a student v,ith an appreciation of all faiths
and religious backgrounds.
In addition, the Madawaska approach respects the
wishes and wisdom of the community's taxpayers.
The costs of the facilities required to provide the
services described would be but a fraction of the
costs outlined to either divide CHSS or to build a
new Catholic high school in Huron County, dealing
more likely in thousands of dollars as opposed to
millions of dollars. This is 1994, not 1974, and it is
Huron County, not suburban Toronto.
In conclusion, please consider the preceding pro-
posal for the merits that it holds and for the tax dol-
lars that it would free -up, leaving funds available for
health care or other much needed services in Huron
communities. It would be sad to lose an opportunity
to truly harmonize and strengthen our community
and to miss the chance to demonstrate to others that
Huron is an innovalive leader in education.
Respectfully,
Wm. Steenstra,
Chairperson,

Letters to the editor
More horse racing coverage wanted
... Ontario trained horses
won 8 of 12 titles...
Dear Sports Editor:
As a regular reader of your newspaper, I would
like to make you aware that a large portion of your
readership (valued customers) are devoted harness
racing fans like myself. Your coverage of our fa-
vourite sport is quite limited and I thought it might
he as a result that you are unaware of some of our
everyday accomplishments and contributions.
Harness racing in Ontario is very job -creative in
that it employs directly, and indirectly, in excess pf
30,000 men and women. Racing has no employ-
ment barriers and the overwhelming majority of the
work is of a hands-on experience.
Currently, Ontario is host to eighteen (18) Stan-
dardbred (harness) racetracks and over two dozen
teletheatre (off-site) wagering locations. in 1994,
6.1 million harness racing fans will attend a racing
program in Ontario which includes over 4,100 com-
bined days of exciting entertainment. Wagering rev-
enues from those who choose to bet will contribute
to the Provincial Treasury $41.5 million in gross
pari -mutual taxes. As you can see, Ontario Harness
racing generates large revenues, creates thousands
of jobs and contributes substantially to the good
health and fiscal stability of Ontario.
Throughout the world, Ontario horsemen and
women arc recognized as the leaders in harness rac-
ing excellence. Annually, Ontario horses dominate
the North American season ending Awards and this
year voting results were no different. In 1993, the
United States Trotting Association had 12 horse cat-
egories that each select a dominant horse and Onta-
rio owned or trained horses won eight of the 12 Ci-
ties. These include two-year-old winners Wesgate
Crown, Freedom Friend and Armhro Monarch.
Three-year-old Presidential Ball and Ellamony and
Aged Trotting horse Earl, Aged Trotting mare Life-
time Dream, Aged Pacing horse Staying Together.
Staying Together also won the prestigious USTA
Horse of the Year honour for owner Bob Hamather
of Exeter, Ontario.
In Europe, Ontario horses and drivers also fare
quite well and much of Europe's prize trotting stock
has "Ontario Roots". in 1992 Sweden's premier
race of the year the Sovalia Elitlopp was won by the
trotting sensation "Billyjojimbob" owned by Mike
and Lori Wade of Seagrave and expertly driven by
Sunderland's, Murray Brethour.
In closing, as you can see in this short letter Onta-
rio men, women, and horses dominate the harness
racing world and we receive very little recognition
for our efforts. For your next harness racing story,
call the Ontario Harness Horse Association should
you require any facts. The 0.H.H.A. office is open
weekdays 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. and their telephone
number is (905) 854-2221. Thanks for your atten-
tion.
Yours sincerely
Richard Morrissey
Exeter
Editor Adrian Harte replies: Although we are
aware of harness racing events in Ontario, there is
no active track within the Times -Advocate's cover-
age area. As a local, community-based paper, we
have no plans to extend our horse racing coverage
beyond the occasional features on successful racers
from this area.

EXETER - The countdown is
on. Juno award winning singer,
Cassandra Vasik and country vid-
eo star, Jim Witter will be appear-
ing in Goderich Friday night at the
arena May 27 and in Exeter Satur-
day night at the community centre
May. 28.
These two performers have had a
steady string of hits on the music
and video charts for the last couple
of years. While both have distinct
musical styles, both started out
their careers in Canada with the
Tommy Hunter show. Cassandra
Vasik's songs are written by the
powerfully talented team of Erica
Ehm (former MuchMusic V -Jay),
Tim Thorney and Robo Fox. Vasik
has toured the continent opening
for country mLsic superstars,
Randy Travis, Clint Black, Vince

Nifty Gritty Dirt Band. On her lat-
est album, "Feels Like Home', she
sings with Russel De Carle of Prai-
rie Oyster in "Fortune Smiled on
Me".
Jim Witter is a talented singer/
songwriter whose videos are very
popular on the TNN Country Vid-
eo shows. The upbeat country rock
sound of "Distant Drum" starts the
toes tapping and that continues
throughout the album. The single
"Everything and More" debuted at
number 40 on the Canadian coun-
try Music Charts which is the
highest debut of any New Canadi-
an on the country charts. He is
supported on the album by a tal-
ented studio hand who play with
recording superstars like Garth
Brooks, Reba McEntire, George
Jones, MacBride and the Ride, E -
Street Band and Radney Foster.
To get tickets call the Canadian
