Madill students Darn
about Katimavik program
A group of students from
the F. E. Madill Secondary
School got a chance last
Wednesday to find out what
the federal government's
Katimavik program is all
about.
In the Inuit language,
Katimavik means "meeting
place". That's what the
program is all about, ex-
plained Patricia Bell, the
Katimavik spokesman who
visited the school. It is a

Miss Bell said five years
ago when she completed
Grade 13 she wasn't sure
what she wanted to do, so
Katimavik gave her a
chance to do some thinking
and work at the same time.
The project involves about
75 per cent physical labor
and 25 per cent social work,
she said. The group of 12
young people lives together
in ° a home with a group
leader and it is totally self-
sufficient, right down to
baking its own bread.
Each Katimavik group
usually spends a three-
. month period in Western
Canada, three months in
central Canada and the
But there are several strict
rules that members must
follow. Drugs, alcohol,
cohabitation and hitch-
hiking are strictly prohibited
and everyone must share the
work load.
The program is expanding
to 5,000 participants this
year, said Miss Bell, who is
employed in a seven -week
Katimavik recruitment pro-
gram.
After Miss -Bell's nine
months were completed, she
returned to school. In fact, a
high percentage of Kati-
mavik participants return to
school, she said. But if they
do choose to enter the work-
ing world, employers look
favorably on the Katimavik
program and the experience
it gives young people.
Ski teams are great
Recently, at the newly -de-
signed ski trails near the
residence of Mr. Mali, we
held the first of what is sure
to be a long line of "Madill
Invita tionals" .
At this meet the senior
boys took home the victory
with Jack Simpson placing
first with John Leedham
coming_in a close second and
Ted Cowen coming in four
A strong showing was also
achieved by Andrew
Dumphrey.
In the junior boys' com-
petition, David -Simpson
came in 4th with A. J. Kauf-
man coming in 5th followed
by Mike Cameron placing
6th. A strong showing was
also made by Jamie Wall,
Adam Wellstead, Tim Tre-
leaven, Fred Flangerand,
Kerry Bauer.
In the senior girls', our
highest placed skier was
Elaine Campbell in 9th, fol-
lowed by Lisa Webster in
10th and Carol Green in llth.
Also showing strong finish-
ings were Helen McIntyre
and Julie Dumphrey. In
junior girls' we had Kate
Proctor in 4th and Julie
Clarke in 10th.. They were
followed by Paula Ruther-
ford, and Deb Bakelaar in
llth and 12th. Also finishing
for Madill were Erika Hooft-
t man and Heather McIntosh.
More recently, the Huron -
Perth meet was held at the
• same courses. .At this meet,
the senior boys,again showed
their ability'. frabbing-Ahe
top three positions. First was
Jack Simpson, second,• was
Ted Cowan, third was John
Leedham. Chris King placed
a strong sixth, though this
was his first ski meet.
In the junior boys', our top
skier was Shawn Bremmen,
placing 5th. The next top
skiers were Mike Cameron
and A. J. Kaufman both
placing 8th. Dave Simpson
placed 10th. Other finishers
for Madill were Jamie Wall,
F Adam Wellstead, Tim Tre-
leaven and Kerry. Bauer.
The senior girls finished in
the order of 10th, llth, 12th,
13th and 14th. Elaine Camp-
bell was Madill's first finish-
er, followed by Melody Ire-
land, Lisa Webster, Helen
McIntyre and Trudy Short.
In the junior girls we placed
five skiers in the top ten.
Paula Rutherford placed 5th,
followed by Julie Clarke in
6th, Kara Kavanagh placing
7th, Deb Bakelaar in 10th. In
llth place was Karla King
and Carey Pletch finished
with a 15th place in the
standings.
The ski trails are excellent
and the countryside so at-
tractive that all who com-
pete are "winners" of great
enjoyment. Those who cut
and keep the trails in such
good condition are to be
commended, as well as those
who train our skiers.

A precious gift
As you reach the age of 18,
you are faced with many im-
portant decisions. One of
these is: if I should be sud-
denly killed, would I want to
help someone else to live
longer? In other words, do I
want to sign a special part of
my driver's licence? h..
Think for a minute of all
the people on dialysis. Do
you know that some people
spend nine hours a week, if
not more, on a kidney ma-
chine just to stay aline? If
you had to die and your kid-
ney could be transplanted it
would mean a great deal
more than words to the per-
son who got it.
You don't have to give up
your body organs. How about
your whole body for medical
research? Doctors can learn
a lot about diseases from
studying the human body.
Suppose if you were dying
from a disease or suffering
from a malfunctioning or-
gan. Then the "tables would
turned", leaving you to
face the reality of depending
on the death of someone else
to enable you to live.
If you think signing your
driver's licence is signing
your life away, consider it
again. How many opportuni-
ties in life do you have to give
something so vital to save
someone's life? Truly a life-
saving gift.

SKI MEET
Our -ski -.team placed very
well at the Huron -Perth ski'
meet at the Langside Trails.
The timings of each skier
were lower than at the
previous meet. St. Marys,
the "High -Fliers" of the
trails came up in first posi-
tion in three categories, but
the junior teams placed a
very close second.
For the senior boys it was
a different story. Blazing
through the trails with excel-
lent timings they easily won
the pennant for the school.
Here is a list of the individual
placings.
Junior girls, 25 km: Kate
Proctor, 3rd; Paula Ruther-
ford, 5th; Julie Clarke, 6th;
Karen Kavanagh, 7th; Linda

"We said okay, you guys

However Mr. 'Fortune said
it not the fire board's fault
that the 1982-83 wage request
was ignored.
"As we understand it, the
1982 wage request went to
the Town of Wingham and
they decided to wait until the
board was set up and it could
be decided by the board." He
cautioned that was "strictly
hearsay", but unfortunately
no one could be reached

it.

We hate to be pessimistic,
but it's looking like this
year's' "FtoStyfest" celebra
tion may turn out to be an-
other "Foggyfest" if the
weather doesn't soon start to
cooperate.
Unless the weather
becomes miraculously a -lot
colder over the next day or
two, most of the outdoor
events scheduled for this
year's winter celebration
will have to be cancelled.
Those events which likely
will be axed are the snow -
sculpturing contest, the
Junior Citizens' skate-a-
thon, the snowmobile poker
rally and the family skating
party.
But all systems are go for
Frostyfest's other at-
tractions, namely the
variety show Thursday night
at the town hall, the figure
skating carnival Friday
night at the arena and the
"Festival in the Sun" travel
show at the Wingham
Legion.
The Wingham Kinsmen
will be holding a casino
Friday night and Saturday at
the Wingham Armouries and
the two events scheduled for
Saturday at the Legion, the

as planned.
