In net for Brussels was Andrew McDonald who positioned himself just perfect to stop Clinton's offence from scoring on a number of occasions. Game two was a different story. Hensall got off to a good start with eight goals before Brussels got one, but then Brussels came to life. Even though Brussels was down they were not out. They scored two more times and were really trying their best, but just ran out of time. Scoring for Brussels was Kyle Gibson with two and Mathew White with one. Also assisting were Adam McClure and Kyle Gibson. All the Brussels players played their best, but could not stop #8 Cory McClinchey, who scored six of Hensall's nine goals. The final score was 9 - 3. The Huron County Board of Education (HCBE) has begun a campaign in support of the position of the Ontario Public School Boards' Association (OPSBA) that the Government of Ontario should establish one publicly funded school system in Ontario. OPSBA and the HCBE believe that this concept would guarantee the rights of both Catholic and non-Catholic students and at the same time create a more cost effective and efficient school system. The Board also supports the recommendation of the Ontario School Board Reduction Task Force that the reform of education finance is essential before changes can be made to school board governance. In the letters being distributed to parents and ratepayers of Huron County, the Board states the following: "We have a great public echication system in Huron County, and arc working hard to make it better. In this time of rapid change, we arc ready for change, We know that times arc tough and that public spending needs to be brought under control. We want to do our part but, alone, a small jurisdiction like the Huron County Board of Education is a voice in the wilderness. Residents have heard about the report on school board amalgama- tion. There are several good recommendations in that report, but the most important among them arc the recommendations for the reform of education finance. We must have those funding reforms if Huron County students arc going to get their fair share of Ontario tax dollars for education. Mammograms are usually not painful. Some may be uncomfor- table because of the compression of the breast between two plastic plates. The board can live with the call to reduce the number of trustees, and we have already acted to downsizc our administration. We DO NOT agree with the proposal to join the public school boards of Huron and Perth counties together into one new entity. We think there is a beder way. Please support our call to establish a single school board for Huron County: one that provides for all sectors and protects the language and religious rights of all parties. This is the kind of amalgamation that makes the most sense. As we move forward toward the close of this century, let us ensure that public education in Huron County continues to be a front- runner — not only in academic excellence and technology, but in governance, administration and finance too." The Board is asking residents of Huron County to support its position by signing a postcard which is available at any of its schools and by forwarding this postcard to Helen Johns, the local MPP. five minutes sending the Ripley goaltender to the bench.
