MPP Jack Riddell charged in the Ontario Legislature this week that the Bluewater Centre for developmentally handicap- ped in Goderich was closed because the social services ministry needed the facility to handle the need created by the.recently passed Young Of- fenders Act. "You were caught off guard," he said to Social Ser- vices Minister Frank Drea during a heated exchange bet- ween the two.

Riddell then challenged Drea to repeat the statement outside the legislature. "You're not much of a man outside this place," the area MPP commented. During the exchange Drea did indicate that there is a possibility the closing of one centre for the developmental- ly handicapped could be reconsidered. Drea said during the heated exchange he could reconsider the planned closing of Darcy Place in Cobourg. "I don't like to give false hope. If there are new circumstances brought to my attention, I am prepared to look at Darcy Place." The level of decorum quick- ly deteriorated before the futures of other centres could be discussed. Liberal deputy leader Sean Conway took the first shot by telling the house that Conser- vative Howard Sheppard told a news conference Friday he was afraid to question Drea about Darcy Place in the legislature because Drea had McCurdy school Continued from front page school hours by a nuiHber of community groups.

Teachers, secretaries, janitors, cafeteria staff, librarians and student teachers were honoured all last week. Monday's assembly set the appreciative tone that wavered slightly at Tuesday's challenge volleyball match between the teachers and grade thirteens. The en- thusiastic teachers showed the benefit of a university degree and defeated the sur- prised younger set. Wednesday's Service Day was well used by staff Who called on students to teach their class or perform special tasks. Students were kept busy washing windows, pick- ing up garbage, teaching, car- rying coffee and books, clean- ing, filing and even doing the secretaries' weekly shopping. Throughout the week each staff member had been receiving original gifts and cards from a secret pal. The staff who have become expert detectives at identifying handwriting and following clues had their curiosity satisified and then appetites too, at Thursday's breakfast. The student council prepared a superb breakfast that received many compliments from pleased teachers. The appreciative at- mosphere set up by the week was added to by the baby pic- tures and most memorable experiences that the teachers were asked to submit. Students were reassured that teachers are human too and the staff had the warm feeling of being needed and appreciated.
