Four people
escape injury
Four people escaped serious injury on
Saturday when the vehicle they were
riding in hit a icy patch on the road and
flipped over into the ditch.
The single vehicle accident occured at
about 5:30 p.m. Saturday on. the Tenth Con-
cession of Ashfield Township. When
Goderich OPP responded and arrived on
the scene they found the vehicle laying on
its roof in'the north ditch. The driver of the
car, B. Van-Diepenbeek, had been travell-
ing east on the roadway when road condi-
tions turned icy and forced the car off the
road.
Damages to the vehicle were described
as "severe" by an OPP spokesman. No
charges were laid in the mishap.
The spokesman added that "it was a
wonder no one was hurt considering the
damage to the vehicle".
Students
have been
skipping
A relatively large number of students of
the Lucknow Centralized Public School
having been noticed skipping school lately.
As a matter of fact, anyone stopping by the
school last week would have seen a whole
auditorium of students skipping.
It's not so much that they were skipping
school that has brought them such notorie-
ty, it's the fact that they were skipping AT
school.
Even a couple teachers were spied skip-
ping on this particular day.
No, the students weren't neglecting their
studies; instead they were helping raise
money for the Heart and Stroke Founda-
tion by participating in a program called
'Skip Rope for the Heart'.
Students were urged to get members of
the community to sponsor them for each
minute they skipped. Two hours of the
school day were set aside Monday of last
week for the giant skip-a-thon. When the
whistle blew and the jumping ceased, the
energentic kids had raised just over $1,300
for the Heart amd Stroke Foundation.
Congratulations to the happy skippers
who participated and to the supervising
teachers for their contribution to this wor-
thy cause.
It is hoped that students will be en-
couraged to skip school again next year.
