Times-Advocate, 1983-10-12, Page 2Page 2 Times -Advocate, October 12, 1983 Consider outdoor education An outdoor education pro- gram in conjunction with the Maitland Valley Conserbation Authority is being considered by the Huron County Board of Education. The costs to the board and what its educational goals would be for such a program will be looked at by the educe - School board not forgetting computers Computers aren't being forgotten in Huron County schools. The board of educa- tion is just taking a "respon- sible approach" to potential purchases. Trustee Art Clarke, a member of the board's ad hoc committee on computers told the board at its October meeting that the committee will be preparing an interim report on its activities. The report is expected to be presented at the board's November meeting. The trustee said the com- mittee has viewed a mobile computer classroom set up by a former Huron County teacher. Committee members are also hoping to "get a chance to view" the computer being touted by the provincial government. While Huron schools will not be receiving any of these computers on a trial basis, Mr. Clarke said the regional ministry of education office in London could be getting two or three in November. Mr. Clark said the commit- tee is reluctant to make any proposals to purchase classroom computers until they receive feedback on the province's computer. Tony McQuail, another ad hoc committee member, said there are 75 computers already in Huron schools pur- chased by the individual schools. He added that the committee has to place em- phasis on having a trained and competent staff to teach computer programs to the students.

The board referred the matter to com- mittee on October 3 and a report will be brought to the board at its November meeting. MVCA is proposing that its Wawanosh Valley conserva- tion area, located in East Wawanosh Township, become a site for an outdoor education program. Authority general manager Bryan Howard said a barn located on the site could be renovated with a classroom and storage area provided. he also added that improved washroom facilities are necessary. The authority is proposing that labor could be paid for through a government job creation program with the work to be done over the winter. It was noted the job program runs out in March. Howard said discussions between the authority and the board are in the preliminary stage, but the authority is sug- gesting that the board pick up the material costs which he estimates at about $4,500. The hiring of a, co- ordinator, either by the board or MVCA, is also being con- sidered as part of the program. "Before we embark on this program, I'd like to see the costs. It's easier to not come up with a program than end, one," said trustee John Jewitt, adding ' although I • don't want to take anything away from the kids." Chairman of the education committee, Joan Vanden- Broeck, said she would like to see the board approve the program in principle. "If we were to approve in principle...they (MVCA) would feel inclined to go ahead," said Mrs. VandenBroeck. "I'd like to throw in cau- tion," said Exeter trustee Clarence McDonald. "That property is a long ways north." Noting that the board had received a list of all the schools' field trips for last year, Mr. McDonald added, "I don't think they're (students) suffering from not having places to go."

T -A photo SH senior basketball team shows improvement South Huron's senior girls basketball team is showing gradual improvement as they increase their league record to two wins and one loss. Im- provement is less apparent yet still evident in the juniors' no wins and three losses record. The SH cagers continued their regular season with a home game against Norwell last night both seniors and juniors had hopes for victories. Today the teams travel to Listowel before continuing their busy schedules at weekend tournaments. The seniors play at the Medway tournament while the juniors travel again to Listowel. The sixth league game is Monday against Wingham. Last week's games against Goderich were bitter disap- pointments to both South Huron teams as they met humiliating defeats in front of home crowds. Chris Coates scored four points against the over- whelming junior Vikings who annihilated South Huron 49-12. The inexperienced Pan- thers had trouble with the quick play of their pressing opponents. Diane Dearing helped to maintain Exeter's aggressive play. The senior's 40-32 loss was, as admitted by several players, due more to lack of spirit and drive than un- balanced talent. Faye Gaiser led with 14 points with Jackie Cottrell and Alice Dietrich each adding 7. Now the seniors are determined to make this game their only loss of the regular season. The girls jumped closer to this goal with a deserved 58-24 victory over Mitchell. Eigh- teen points were contributed by Gaiser and eight by Dietrich. Leslie Hunter - Bryanston stays alive Bryanston came up with a 5-4 victory over the Lucan Irish to keep their playoff hopes alive in the Southwestern - Fastball Association. The Irish now lead the best - of -seven championship series three games to one with the fifth game set for the Lucan diamond, tonight, Thursday at 9 p.m. Dennis Carty was the win- ning pitcher for Bryanston Tuesday while Jamie Eveleigh took the loss for the Irish.

This injury will put the valuable point getter out un- til this weekend. The juniors seem to be lear- ning from their experiences as they lost to Mitchell but on- ly by 28-17. Karen Rowe and Kelly Whiteford each had six points. Coach Pat Rowe is pleased with her team's im- provement as they began to organize offensively and take more shots. With Hunter-Duvar on the bench, South Huron's seniors lost both their games at the prestigious Purple and White Tournament at Alumni Hall in London last weekend. However the girls rallied to present a creditable performance. Alice Dietrich had an ex- ceptional game against East Elgin who eventually placed second in the tournament. Dietrich and Gaiser both had 13 points. The Panthers were down 17-9 at the half but brought it up to a tie, however East Elgin sunk one at the buzzer to win 32-30. Victory went to Westminster the next day, with Geiser scoring 15 points for the defeated Panthers. Earlier in the season South Huron had lost by 20 points to the Wildcats. Their improve- ment is shown by the weekend's 30-25 spread.
