Hometotvn Fleas win at tourney
The Lucknow Fleas won the 13th annual
Lucknow Legion Flea Hockey Tournament
Championship for the second consecutive
year, at the Lucknow Arena on Saturday.
This is the third time in the history of the
tournament that the hometown team has
won the championship. Lucknow has also
taken the consolation trophy in the two
consecutive years previous to the past two
when they won the championship.
This year's championship win was done
with a flare of excitement that only those
8 -year-old boys can give us,
The morning started out with the first

There 4 goals and 2 assists for Chris
Stevenson; 2 goals and 3 assists for Justin

This led to a game against the Green
machine, Ripley, who had previously beaten.
Belgrave 10 - 4,
This game was not a sequel to any other. it
very definitely stood out as the best game of
Teachers charge 'bad bargaining'
A bad bargaining charge filed by Bruce
County's 220 high school teachers against
the county board of education was "unnec-
essary" says board negotiating committee
chairman Ron Gatis.
According to Gatis the board "never said
they wouldn't negotiate", adding the
teachers were hasty in filing the charge with
the Education Relations Commission (ERC)
concerning contract talks for the 1983-84
school year.
"if the charge was (laid) to get us back to
the bargaining table, we had no intention of
not going back to the bargaining table," said
Gatis.
Mark Ciavaglia, the teachers' chief nego-
tiator says that the ERC has appointed an
agent to try to resolve the dispute over the
1983-84 contract. if not resolved, the matter
will he turned over to the commission.
The teachers charged that the board did
not meet with their negotiators 30 days after
they had sent a letter of intent to open talks.
The charge falls under Bill 100, which
governs teacher -hoard negotiations and has
been ruled as no longer valid by the hoard
with the implementation of the province's
inflati n Restraint Act (Bill 179).
('ia\aglia says iR( mediator David Kates
set March 11 as the date for the two sides to
meet in Owen Sound to resume talks for the
1982-83 contract year. The teachers' nego-
tiator said the board has indicated they
won't attend the meeting.
The Bruce County Board of Education has
indicated to m?diator, David Kates, that it
will not be represented at a meeting he has
called for March 11 to deal with the 1982-83
Agreement between the board and its
Secondary School Teachers.
The Board takes the position that the
Inflation Restraint Act, 1982 extends Agree-
ments and accordingly there is no role for a
mediator. This view is supported by a recent
Ontario Labour Relations Board decision
which ruled that the Act extends the
operation of Agreements which would
otherwise cease to operate.
"They're leaving themselves open for
another bad bargaining charge," warns
Ciavaglia.
The Secondary School Teachers served the
Board with a notice to negotiate an
Agreement for the 1983-84 school year. and
the Board responded with a letter dated
February 14 to Alice Colton, president of
O.S.S.T.F., District 44, as follows:

the year and was the most emotionally
charged.
Lucknow were really on their toes,
keeping Ripley back where they wanted
them. It was for Tim McNee, his finest hour
and enough could never be said for his
defense. He was to say the least, spectactu-
lar.
Ripley had tied the game twice and with
one minute, 9 seconds left Chris Stevenson
scored, breaking the tie and making if 5 - 4
and then Matthew Drennan clinched it with
another goal with 38 seconds left. Justin
Murray made doubly sure with his goal at
the 30 second mark.
Goals were scored by Justin Murray with
Matt Sproul assisting; Matthew Drennan
and Doug Heim assisting; Chris Stevenson
unassisted; Brad Rhody with Clint Murray
assisting; Matthew Drennan with Chris
Stevenson assisting and Justin Murray with
Chris Stevenson assisting once more.
Now everyone was ready for the Champ-
ionship game at 7.00 p.m. it was hard to
believe that these boys could continue, but
they did not let us down. I'm sure they all
felt their victory before they came out on the
ice and their confidence showed it.
They zipped up the championship with a
score against Teeswater of 5 - 0. Scoring for
Lucknow were Justin Murray with Chris
Stevenson assisting. Matthew Drennan with
Chris Stevenson assisting. Chris Stevenson
unassisted. Chris Stevenson with Jarod
Brophy assisting and Justin Murray with
Warren Andrew assisting.
None of these games were easy wins and
all the boys worked their hearts out. With
their hard work and the wonderful goal
tending from Adam Skillen who had two
shut outs and made saves uncompared
anywhere, made it all possible.
Teams participated in the tournament
from Ripley, Teeswater, Belgrave, Blyth,
Brussels, Kincardine and Mildmay. Mild-
may took the consolation trophy by defeating
Kincardine 6,- 0.

has not been published for three weeks.
At present the author, Don Campbell is
working as an engineer with Pratt &
Whitney Aircraft of Canada Ltd. and "the

Mr. Campbell in a letter to the Sentinel
said he hopes to continue the series in the
future and will send columns when they are
completed. In the meantime, however, the
column is not available. The Sentinel will
