Alone for eight months

cabin. Game, fruit, and bird eggs
were plentiful, but they were
haunted by the night calls of the
unfamiliar species of birds which
had given the place its demonic
name.
For eight months, they did not see
a ship and Marguerite's young man
became depressed and physically ill.
He died shortly before their child
was born.
Undaunted, Marguerite applied
her hunting skills, using a
matchlock gun her uncle had
provided to harvest wild food. She
told her biographer that she became
so skilled' that on one day she kiiied
three bears, including one that was
"white as an egg," no doubt a polar
bear that had drifted south on an ice
pan.
After 17 months on the island, the
servant died and Marguerite's child
soon followed. A year later, lonely
but in good health, she was rescued
by Breton fisherman.
Ironically; Jean -Francois de
Roberval's colony at Cap -Rouge,
upstream from Quebec City was a
dismal failure. Many colonists
'suffered from hunger, filth, cold
and scurvy. before the expedition •
disbanded.
After her return to France, Mar-
guerite de Roberval's triumphant
survival in the New World was
documented by Andre Thevet, the
Geographer Royal to King Francois
Thevet's successor was Samuel de •
Champlain, who later helped es-
tablished a successful colony at Port
Royal that was based on the theory
that it was possible for settlers to
live off the land. What started with
a tragic love story, set a pattern for
survival in the New World.
It was a good haul for a

counselling she required after the
engagement was broken. Not too
paltry a sum for having known the
rancher for only seven . weeks.
The plaintiff is quoted as saying
that "It is a serious women's issue
and one that hasn't received too
much attention." I wonder if the
jury would have come to the same
conclusion if the plaintiff was a
male, And I wonder how long it
took the woman, who you will
note was a lawyer, to research the
books and come up withthe
Breach of Promise Act. A United
States matrimonial lawyer says the
law was intended to allow brides
or grooms to recover actual
damages, such as rental fees for a
reception hall, not the costs as-
sociated with pain and suffering.
All in all, it wasn't a bad haul
for a seven -week relationship gone
sour!
Bruce County Board of Education
Cole ' resigns; board won't
reduce superintendents
Downsizing in education won't
affect' the number of superinten-
dents for the Bruce County Board
of Education.
Tuesday, personnel superintendent -
Paul Cole announced his resig-
nation, effective January 31, 1994.
Cole was recently hired as director
g education for Chippewas of
'4awash First Nations at Cape
Broker, a position he earlier
iescribed as a consultant's job. The
Board accepted Cole's resignation,
Ind assigned personnel superinten-
lent's duties to school superinten-
lent John Lennon.
Then the board launched the
search for a new superintendent. "Is
it,fundamental in this climate to fill
a position with that size of pay
cheque?" asked trustee Gord
Thompson.
Director of Education Paul Mar-
tindale said the Bruce board is "a
little below average" in its ratio of
supervisory officers to students.
"We are downsizing, but not that
position," Martindale said, noting
there are "no boards" in Ontario
without a supervisory —'-offrcer-
responsible for personnel issues.
Martindale said, "I think it's clear
we need to maintain strong senior
administration to deal with the
complexities we face."
Later, Thompson said he raised
the issue of hiring a highly -paid
superintendent during tight financial
times "because I knew it was a
question that would be asked in my
neck of the woods." Thompson alsd
said he was satisfied with Martin -
dale's explanation that having a
superintendent "was the way to go".
Martindale `said the Bruce Board
downsized in the last two years by
eliminating 13 jobs and $800,000
worth of budget at the ad-
ministration centre in Chesley.
Thompson said among the jobs
eliminated were one supervisor and
at least one principal working from
the board office. At the other end
of the pay scale, custodial workers
have been asked to double up on.
duties without increasing their'
hours.
Meanwhile, Cole was ' lauded by
trustees for his contributions to the
board.
"We worked together 25 or 30
years in one capacity or another,"
said Ray Fenton. "We've seen a lot
of water go under the bridge,
whether in school administration or
negotiations," said the former SDSS.
principal. "I've never met a more
organized person than Paul Cole."
"We certainly appreciated the
—work—Paul Cole --has- done—for the
negotiating committees," said trus-
tee and former board chair David
Inglis. "His way of working with
staff and trustees to come up with
agreements is really appreciated."
"We never saw him in a bad
mood," agreed trustee veteran of
several negotiating ' committees
Alvin Thompson.
Positive mental health
promoted during display
The Canadian Mental Health
Association/Huron County Branch,
has recently begun making anti -
stigma presentations to the public
and high schools of Huron County.
Erasing stigma, destructive and
Untrue messages associated with
mental illness, is a priority of the
Canadian Mental Health As-
sociation.
This 20 minute presentation is
presented during school assemblies
and includes two originally written
songs performed by Kim Souch and
is followed by . a talk to the
audience. The theme of the presen-
tation is to promote positive mental
health, erase the stigma associated
with mental illness and to outline
the role of CMHA/Huron Branch
and those in the audience in
improving their mental health and
destroying the stigma of mental
illness. The students and teachers
are told about the importance of
self-esteem, how you look at your-
self, and acceptance and respect
towards the differences in all of us.
Several schools throughout Huron
County have already participated in
this presentation. The reaction of
the students and teachers is en-
thusiastic and positive. Many ques-
