Driver loses
licence for
drunk driving
A Wingham man who failed a
breathalyser test when his blood
contained four times the legal limit
of alcohol had his licence suspend
ed for 12 months and was fined
$750 in Ontario Court, provincial
division in Wingham Wednesday.
Israel L. Good, 54, was fined
after pleading guilty to a charge of
having more than 80 mg of blood
in 1000 ml of blood following an
incident on June 22.
Crown attorney Donald Vale
told judge Eleanor Schnall that two
civilians had observed a car driving
eratically east of Wingham on
Highway 86 about 3:45 that day.
They telephoned police and Con
stable Thompson of the Wingham
O.P.P. detachment found the car
stopped a few minutes later. Mr.
Good was in the vehicle and had
slurred speech and glassy eyes and
a smell of alcohol. After he was
arrested he was taken to the police
station where he recorded a reading
of 320 mg about 4:30 p.m. He later
was retested and blew a reading of
310 mg.
Defence attorney Allan Mill
pointed out that Mr. Good drove a
truck for a living and would suffer
financially for the conviction.
Mr. Good apologized for the
incident. He said he takes medica
tion and had inadvertently taken
two tablets that day instead of one.
The medication may have reacted
with the alcohol, he suggested.
Judge Schnall, in passing sen
tence, pointed out the readings
were "inordinately high".
MR. MORTON'S ASSISTANT
by Becky Morrison and
Shawna Walker
When we arrived at school on
Friday morning we found a strange,
new girl in our grade 7 class! We
started asking questions like ...
Who is she? Where did she come
from? What relation does she have
to our class? After the 9:00 bell we
found the answers to our questions.
She is Mr. Morton's daughter.
Her name is Heather. She was here
to teach us more about Indians
(which we are studying in class).
She came home for the weekend
from Carleton University in
Ottawa. She is taking Native Stud
ies in University. She has no rela
tion to our class unless you count
that her dad is our teacher. We also
did “Just So” stories (but we made
up our own) according to the
groups Heather picked for us about
nature.
SIMULATION GAMES
by Julie McNichol
The grade 7 and 8 students at
B.P.S. have completed an enrich
ment program on “Energy in the
Future”.
First the Field Manager from
Ontario Hydro came to talk to us
about the new Hydro Electric Pro
ject at Niagara Falls. Then Mr.
Dave Higgins, our Area Resource
Teacher, talked to both grades
about the importance of trees in the
food chain and how energy is used
to change the trees into finished
products like paper or furniture.
Twenty-four students from
grades 7 and 8 were selected to par
ticipate in the Simulation game “To
Spray or not to Spray”. In this
game Mrs. Cronin and Mr. Higgins
gave us a problem. The problem
was that Gypsy Moths had invaded
the Oak forest which was being
harvested by Oak Limited. The
problem was how to get rid of the
gypsy moth without harming near
by tourist camps, cottage areas,
fishing ponds and farmland. We
were assigned an occupation and
we had to play the part of loggers,
mothers, campers and farmers, etc.
We had to present our points of
view at the Public Hearing to The
Commission and the members of
The Commission decided on the
end result. They decided to use bio
logical control and if it didn’t work
the second choice was to use

ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY
by Rhonda Gibbons
As a follow up to the Simulation
Program at Blyth P.S. five students
from grade 7 and 8 went to the
Huron Centennial School on Thurs
day, Nov. 14 to join other students
from Clinton P.S., Vanastra P.S.,
Hullett Central, Seaforth P.S., and
Huron Centennial for an Enrich
ment Program. The five students
from B.P.S. were: Chad Haggitt
and Rhonda Gibbons from grade 8
and Shawna Walker, Kurt Lentz
and Abigail Ramirez from grade 7.
The five students were at the
school at 8:45, ready for Mrs.
Cronin to take them to Huron Cen
tennial School. When they arrived
at 9:30, Mr. Dyke took their coats
and lunches and gave them an en
vironmental board game to play
until 10:00, when Mrs. Johnston
and Mrs. Jewitt introduced them to
the other teachers.
Mrs. Johnston gave them a card
that had an environmental word on
it. Then to find their partner they
matched them up, example: acid
and rain. Then, with their partner,
they researched and gave a presen
tation on the environmental issue
that their names indicated. We also
made a graph. Then we had lunch
and a 15 minute break, then, from
1:00 to 3:00 we had a simulation
exercise similar to the one at B.P.S.
the day before. At 3:00 Mr.
Sygrove picked the five students up
and took them back to school for
dismissal.

able experience. She decided to go

BABY'S TIMES TWO
by Karen Bromley
We have already reported that
Miss Nisa Howe of Goderich is
now teaching grade 2 at B.P.S.
while Mrs. Armstrong-Gibson is on
maternity leave.
A
Mrs. Cathy Stecca, also from
Goderich is replacing Mrs. Little in
grade 3 while she is on maternity
leave.
Mrs. Stecca has supplied in our
school many times. She has three
children, a son Tony and two
daughters, Julia and Emily. She
likes Blyth because it is small and
everyone is friendly. Last week,
there were smiling faces every
where at B.P.S. when we learned,
much to our surprise, that Mrs. Lit
tle had given birth to a baby girl,
Emily Dianne, on Nov. 12.
Although Emily Dianne was bom
about one month early, she is very
healthy and keeping her mother
occupied.
Two days later, on Nov. 14, Mrs.
Armstrong-Gibson gave birth to a
son, Jeffrey Owen, a brother for
Lindsey. Congratulations to the
mothers, fathers John Gibson and
Steve Little, and babies from all of
us here at Blyth Public School.
