Clinton News Record, 1981-03-12, Page 17Bob Shrier receives provincial award
Signal -Star Publishing
Company's President and
Publisher of The Goderich
Signal -Star, Robert G.
Slider was honored by the
Ontario newspaper com-
munity at the Ontario Week-
ly Newspaper Association
convention in Toronto on the
weekend. He received the
coveted President's Award.
'loris award is the most
prestigious honor that can be
bestowed upon a member of
the Ontario newspaper com-
munity. It is given annually
at the discretion of the
OWNA president.
Outgoing OWNA presi-
dent, Bill Poirier Of
Grimsby, made the selection
and presented the plaque at
the convention's awards
'banquet Friday evening.
The President's Award
plaque offers testimony to
Bob's service with the in-
scription, "In recognition of
his many unselfish contribu-
tions to the community
newspaper industry,"
It is a sentiment which
Poirier said aptly reflects
St. Joe's has life courses
On Tuesday, March 3,
1981, a meeting of St.
Joseph's C.P.T.A. was held
in the school auditorium
when President Marie Mid-
dleton opened the meeting
Principal Don Farewell in-
troduced the guest speaker
Ron Gladding, family life
loam,, .diRCOT—_foz...:the,
separate school system of
Huron -Perth Counties. This
was a follow-up from the Oc-
tober 14 meeting where Mr.
Gladding introduced the
junior family life curriculum
which includes grades four,
five, six. Two films were
shown, one on "It's Wonder-
ful
Being A Girl" and
another on how a boy
develops into manhood.
Parents were encouraged to
be present to view these
films before they were
shown to their children and
express their opinions regar-
ding how they felt these
films,should be presented
Coffee Was served—ate
discussions followed and it
was agreed that the boys and
girls would view both films
as a class but would break
into separate groups for fur-
ther discussion on the films
and hygiene care.
Mr. Gladding had pam-
phlets and books to pass out
to any parents who were in-
terested, and answered any
questions parents had on
, how sex education would be
handled by the teachers and
who could come into the
school to further teach the
class. Mrs. Ruth Linton,
-��-—�Il��-
Clinic, was suggested as so-
meone who would be
agreeable to attend and was
approved by parents.
Mr. Gladding was pleased
with the concern of parents
towards their children's
education and offered his
services whenever needed.
Bob's efforts within the in-
dustry.
In his speech to convention
delegates Poirier said that
Bob's labors in the
newspaper industry were
rewarded with success,ad-
ding that Bob's work benefit-
ted the entire newspaper in-
dustry.
"Bob started 25 years ago
and put a lot of time and ef-
fort into the job. He bought
into a newspaper and as an
owner he contributed a lot,"
he said. "The industry
rewarded him with success
but after achieving he con-
tinued to work."
Success did not temper
Bob's willingness to help
anyone in the newspaper
business, Poirier said, and
the award was, in part, to
recognize those unselfish
"He has always been will-
ing to help anyone who asked
and freely jumped in with
both feet when anyone in the
industry asked him to,"
Poirier said. "His services
were offered without pay
and given just for the
satisfaction of helping."
"He is continuing to do
that today and probably will
for the rest of his life."
Bob was successful in the
newspaper business and
Poirier concedes that the in-
dustry flourished because of
that.
"The industry has .been
kind to him but he has
replied in kind," Poirier
stated. "There is no one who
has not benefitted from Bob.
Many were deserving of this
prestigious award, but not as
much as Bob."
The Shriers came to
Coderich in October, 1961
after Bob had accepted a
position with the Signal -Star.
He bought interests in the
newspaper in 1962 and three
years later purchased the
paper from the late George
Ellis.
Bob>had dreams for the in-
dustry and in 1966 the Signal -
Star was only the third paper
in the province to acquire an
offset press. It was a gamble
that slowly pushed Signal -
Star into the publishing
business.
The business expanded
and Signal -Star Publishing
Ltd. moved to a modern
plant on Bayfield Road in
1974. SSP now boasts a fami-
ly of five weekly
newspapers, the every other
week publication The Huron
Shopping News and its
newest venture, a tourist
magazine, called Leisure
Life.
Signal -Star Publishing
also prints all the Anglican
Church papers in Canada,
from British Columbia
through Newfoundland.
Bob has fostered growth
within the industry through
his involvement with the On-
tario Weekly Newspaper
Association. He served on
the OWNA board of directors
for eight years and was
President in 1977.
Through the insistence of
the board of directors he just
concluded an additional two-
year term withjOWNA.`.. • ---
His
- --His work with OWNA,
much of it in the field of
demographic research, has
elevated the status of the
weekly paper as well as
eliminating animosity and
unifying the community
newspaper industry from
coast to coast.

[ Poul Hartman, editor
secondary school news
Strict rules stop dance
The date was set. Tickets
were printed and already be-
ing sold. .Then came the bad
news. The arena board
-heads wanted police
chaperones.
As a result Ed's dance,
originally scheduled for
March 21 had to be cancell-
ed, two weeks before the day
the party was scheduled.
Two arena board members
approached our Students'
Council president and asked
that he- ptoviide two police
chaperones. costing $12.50
per hour each. The two par-
ties managed to com-
proinise. Ed would have to
produce four good
chaperones, not necessarily
policemen.
Instead, he produced
seven chaperones, four were
teachers and one was a
minister. Last Saturday Ed,
explained to the two
members, but due to their
feelings that police should be
present at the party, they
said that this was not suffi-
cient.
—Instead they demanded
again that there .be two
police chaperones or else
that Ed obtain a liquor
license. The alternative was
to cancel the party and that's
what Ed was forced to do.
As a result he lost $50 (the
money used ..to print the
tickets).
Why did the Arena Board
members go back on their
decision? Literally no
damage was done at the last
party so the Board had no
reason to mistrust the
students.
Editorial; Comment: As
far as -I'm—concerned—the __.
board had no reason to go
back on their decision. The
$50 that Ed lost should be
refunded.
Sports shorts from CHSS

A teacher -student
volleyball game was held on
Tuesday. Previously the
students and teachers had
split two games in February.
This time there was the
same result in two exciting
. games of volleyball. The
teachers won the first game
by a score of 15-13. The
students fought back to
emerge victorious in the se-
cond game, 15-8.
WOSSA curling is going, to

Although Brotherhood

traditionally _ .a male
preserve, women have at-
tended in the past. Former
Seaforth Mayor Betty
Cardno attended the annual
event when she was in office
and noted, "I don't see any
reason why they can't have
invited guests who are
women."
Next year, the local

the Knights of Columbus and
they will have to decide if the
"men -only" tradition is to
continue.
