An eye-catching new logo,
"makeovers in our guidance offices,"
and a cartoon-based poster
campaign for Grades 7 and 8
students are all part of what amounts
to a marketing campaign, developed
by a company from Paris, Ontario,
and aimed at informing students
from the Huron-Perth Catholic
District School Board about all their
possible post-secondary options --
not just college or university.
"Universities and colleges provide
(school boards) with lots of
attractive, glossy information trying
to convince our students to attend,"
commented education
superintendent Dan Parr, during a
regular board meeting Monday,
Sept. 25.
"The world of work and
apprenticeship isn't packaged quite
,as well. And that will be our
challenge."
At the meeting, Parr provided
trustees with a copy of the board's
newest version of its booklet
"Pathways to Success: Choose your
Mission," which is funded through
the provincial government's Student
Success initiative. The initiative
applies to all secondary students, but
_particularly those who are in danger
of dropping out because they can't
see how their current educational
experiences will lead them to a
meaningful adult life.
Speaking to reporters after the
meeting, Parr cited a recent study
showing at least 50 per cent of
Ontario high school students will
proceed directly to apprenticeships
or "the world of work." And he said
tlk campaign now completed by the
Paris-based marketing firm, in
conjunction with the Huron-Perth
board "will hopefully make it easier"
for them to make that decision in a

The final score was 9-3.

well-informed fashion.
The first element Parr explained to
trustees was a new logo for the
board's Pathways to Success
initiative. Star-like in appearance,
several oversized versions of the
logo will appear in the guidance
offices for the board's two secondary
schools. The lower point of each star
will direct students to collections of
information about one of four
possible post-secondary routes:
university, college, apprenticeships,
and work.
The information about universities
and colleges will be easy to obtain,
Since those institutions have banded
together to lobby for enough funding
to produce attractive marketing
campaigns and get them into the
province's high schools.
"But in the world of work and
apprenticeships, they don't speak in
any one unified voice," Parr said, so
there's no readily-available,
professionally-produced information
encouraging students to try out that
route.
He added an important task for the
board is to make that option more
attractive.
Grade 7 and 8 students will also be
targetted by the campaign, through
cartoon-based . posters also
developed by the Paris marketing
firm. And a new website —
www.yourmission.ca — has been
launched and linked to the .board's
website.
The company "has done the
market research," Parr explained,
adding it previously. worked with
other school boards on their Student
Success initiatives. "They know
what appeals to teenagers. I could
put together a booklet about how
fulfilling it is to go into the
workplace after high school and
nobody would read it. But these
guys know how to make it
interesting."

There were 17 out at the
Wingham's golf course for
Wednesday's seniors play. The high
winds kept the bugs at bay but added
more than a stroke or two to most
scores.
Rolly Kaufman, with pars on
holes three; four and five, managed
to eke out a tie for first spot with
Ken Saxton and Grant Currie. One
stroke behind were Gord Cerson and
Marc Forrest, then there was a three-
way tie for third, among Glenn
McMichael, Bill Fisher and. Bill
Johnston.
The weather certainly didn't co-
operate and all scores were higher
than usual. One senior was
overheard to say, "They are making
the fairways longer, the trees bigger
and the holes smaller."

Did you know the first hole-in-one
at the Wingham Golf Club was
achieved in the early 1950s by Gary
Storey on what is now the fifth hole?
At that time it was the fourth hole
and the same length but as some of
our older members will remember
there was a huge rock with a small
cherry tree behind it some 50 feet in
front of the tee-off which was hit by
more than one bad drive.
In fact rumour has 'it that one
golfer hit the rock and the ball
dropped into one of the many
groundhog holes around the edge of
Brussels Brook Wheeler stopped
three shots after coming _into the
-final period in _an exhibition match
between her Colgate University
women's ice hockey team and the
Bluewater Jr. Hawks of the
Provincial Women's Hockey
League.
The final score was 11-1.
Fourteen of the 20 Colgate skaters
recorded at least one point in the
contest and nine players were
multiple-point scorers.
The Raiders converted three of
their four powerplay chances as they
outshot the Hawks 40-8.
Freshman Sara Plunkett started in
net for the Raiders.
the big rock.
The honours for the first hole-in
one for the ladies went to Jean
McCool in 1956 on the old ninth
hole. -The ninth hole then was about
120 yards long — the tee-off was in
front of the two trees just south of
the 100-yard marker on the present
ninth hole.
The green was the north part of
the present putting green nearest. the
third green. A ball hit short would
roll towards the green as the green
was in a slight hollow.

Wednesday Men's night with rain,
wind and the weatherman at his
worst, brought 10 avid golfers to
brave the elements and come up
with some great scores.
Steve Nixon, sitting at even par
after seven holes, faltered a little on
the last two holes but came in with a
39, the best score of the night, to
capture the top prize in the B flight.
Terry Powell's 40 took top prize in
A flight. (Not too often does the A
flight take a hind seat to the B
flight.)
Doug Neil won the A flight low
net and Joe Clark the B flight low
net.

Thirty-two golfers were entered in
the match play competition at the
start of the season. Last Wednesday
saw the two finalists Doug Neil and
Gerry Edwards play for the
championship.
After a sea-saw match Doug Neil
was the winner and was crowned
Match Play Champion for 2006. On
his route to the crown Doug
defeated Eric Hopf, Dennis Knox,
Terry Powell, Brendan Chester and
finalist Gerry Edwards.
Congratulations Doug.

Thursdays Buff's Gang was down
to 11 golfers as the weather was
anything but ideal. There was a tie
for top spot as Bill Dauphin and
Teeswater's Perry Hauck came in
with identical scores of 44. Bill
Dauphin won one skin with a part on
the first hole, Neil Bieman's par on
six was good for five skins and
Gerald Coghlin with the only birdie
of the night with a three on number
nine — good for three skins' award
for the longest putt on number three
went to Murray Coghlin.

Twelve club members took part in
a 27-hole, four-man scramble at the
Saugeen Golf Club in Port Elgin.
The team of Don Edgar, Bill
Robinson, Brian Carr and Wayne
Johnston got to the prize table by
virtue of their score of 13 under,
good for third prize in their flight.
Wayne Johnston won a prize for
the closest to the pin on the par three
