CommTech students spent a day brainstorming ideas to bring awareness to the Huron Residential Hospice. Last week, other CommTech students participated in a similar activity, this time brain- storming improvements to the Central Huron municipality. Once again, the project was part of "ICE" training, which is an aspect of the Specialist High Skills Majors program at C.H.S.S. (CommTech is a SHSM.) ICE stands for innovations, creativity and entrepreneurship. They partnered with Central Huron's Community Improvement Coordinator Angela Smith to come up with ideas on how to enhance the municipality. First, to find Anne's girls' rugby coach talks upcoming season Justine Alkema Postmedia Network For many years, St. Anne's girls' rugby has dominated the field, winning the WOSSAA champion- ships for the last nine years in a row. Coach Ryan Clancy said an advantage they have this year is that not many of their players graduated; just three were in grade 12 last year and have graduated. While those three were strong players, their core last year was grade 10 and 11 students, now grade 11 and 12 students. Next year may be more difficult as they will see upwards of 15 play- ers graduate this June. However Clancy says they have recruited six or seven grade nine students. They also have a few new grade 10 stu- dents, and even a couple new grade 12 students. "It's rare for us to get a few new grade 12s," he said. "But a few could athletes wanted to come play, and it looks like they're really going to help us. Even though they are less experienced, they've already proved to be very capable on the field." He also said their numbers are up from last year. They had 23 players then, and have 30 now. They played their first league game on Friday, April 21, beating F. E. Madill 36 to 5. However they have already played two exhibition tourna- ments in Exeter and London. "I was very happy with how the girls played," said Clancy, noting that they beat some very skilled teams, including Ursuline College Chatham and St. Mary's in Owen Sound. They have four regular season games, and then Huron Perth championships are at St. Anne's on Tuesday, May 16. They must win that to move on to WOSSAA, which they are also hosting at St. Anne's, on Thursday, May 18. needs, and then to come up with solutions to those needs. All morning they came up with ideas and refined them, and in early afternoon, pitched their ideas to Smith. They will continue to work with her to make those ideas come to fruition. "They've got some really fantas- tic ideas, and there's definitely some consistencies," said Com- mTech teacher Jacqui Vercruyssen. One specific area they discussed was food and the lack of options for that in Central Huron, as well as more space for arts and photography.
