very attached to them all and think of
them as my family here. I'd love to take
them all back with me, but ... Hopefully
some of them will get over to Australia to
visit "Cranky Ranky" one day. I hope so.
I'd like to extend an invite to any of you if
you happen to make it down to Perth,
Western Australia, to please get in contact
with me so that I can show you the same
kindness I've received here.
Thank you once again, and Merry
Christmas and a very Happy New Year to
you all!
Love, Jenni Aussie Rankin

Pries awarded
in . ministry
essay contest
This is the eighth year for the'Ministry of
Natural Resources Wingham District Essay
Contest. The. winning essays for 1986 have
been selected and the awards presented.
For the fifth year in a row, Blyth Public
School was the best overall school submit-
ting essays. The best essay was written by
John Koch from Sprucedale Public School in
Shakespeare. 'The first runner up, and part
of the winning school team from Blyth, was
Tabatha Montgomery. The second runner
up was Melanie Knox from Hullett Central
Public School.
All of these students travelled to Toronto
on December 16 to have their awards
presented by the Hon. Vincent G. Kerrio,
Minister of Natural Resources. "Judging
from the great essays you have written on
the theme 'The Importance of Fish as a
Resource', I think Ontario is in pretty good
hands," Kerrio said. "Keep thinking about
the future. Keep entering contests - like the
Wingham District Annual Essay Contest -
where there is a chance to write about these
subjects," Kerrio continued, "because there
is still a lot of work to do and its going to be
your job to do it."
After the presentation ceremonies, the
students, accompanied by. Graham Yeates,
.Blyth P. tblic,Scehool Gradbs.sevenavid eight
teacher, and Ministry staff from Wingham
District, Andy 'Mouser, pistrict Manager,
Mike Malhiot,, `District Biologist and Ron
Spurr, Extension Services Supervisor,
toured the provincial legislature and saw
some of 'the question period portion of the
House in session.
In ad•'ion to the awards presented to the
school athe individual essay winners,
each student will receive a free two to three-
hour charter boat fishing trip next spring
courtesy of Sam Argyle, a charter boat
operator from.Goderich.
As Kerrio put it, in taking time ,to make
the presentations personally to these
children, "People have begun to think more
about the,future of fishing in Ontario. They
realize we have to work hard to keep our
lakes and rivers full of fish for everyone to
enjoy now and in the future."
