Bionic beaver invasion
Six "Bionic Beavers" will
be invading Huron and Perth
Counties
Both the Huron and Perth
County Boards of Education
approved purchasing three
Icons each, an Icon being the
name the once infamous
Bionic Beaver now goes by.
Both boards approved buying
the computer system at their
regular meetings last week.
The boards are making the
purchase after the Ministry of
Education made an ir-
resistable offer to boards of
education across the pro-
vince. The Ministry will give
a 75 percent grant on the cost
of these computers to each
board.
Both boards were offered
the same deal. Three "con-
figurations" which are power -

.Cudney and Glenn Weir.
Sinclair, a member of the
number one team in the
United States said, "I thought
I was a champ, but, after a
visit to the crippled children's
hospital yesterday, those kids
are the real champs,"
Cudney is noted for playing
in three professional leagues,
the CFL, NFL and the United
States football league.

that their two teams should be
the teams to beat in the
American league east this
summer.
Wilcox making his second
visit to the dinner said, "This
dinner outshines any of the
larger ones because of the ex-
cellent food" and Gott con-
tributed his success to date to
the support given by his wife.
Cobb who has ambitions to
become a senator in Detroit
had good things to say about
his coach Monty Clark. He
said, "Monty is very calm
and was really responsible for
the Lions turnaround this
year especially in the game
against Green Bay when we
were far behind at halftime
and came back to win.

ful processors known as a
Lexicon and three Icon
microcomputers - two black
and white and one color.
Perth's superintendent of
program, Keith Thompson,
noted 480 of these computers
are being spread around the
province and while Perth and
Huron received a quota of
three each, it is unknown how
many computers are being of-
fered to other boards.
The cost of one configura-
tion including sales tax, is
$17,526 with the board paying
$1,382. The cost of the three
machines to each board is
$13,144 compared to the list
price of $52,578.
A one-year service con-
tract will cost an additional
$4,732 to each board.
Both boards plan to place
the machines in secondary
schools. However there are
five secondary schools in each
of the two counties. So, both
boards are submitting re-
quests for additional
machines in case other
boards don't jump at the
Ministry's offer.
Propose ice
time rentals
Dr. Gaylan Josephson,
reporting for the facilities
committee, introduced the
proposed rates for the 1984-85
season at the Recreational
Centre, at the February
meeting of the recreational
council.
Although rates for the ice
surface were increased slight-
ly, he pointed out that the cost
of producing ice is always
much more than the rates
charged for its use. Thus, ice
time has always been, and
will continue to be, subsidiz-
ed by other revenues.
Some of the proposed ra tes
are as follows: $42 for adult
use of ice surface, $20 for
minors. Rental for tour--
naments, $350 per day.
Rental for the hall, in con-
junction with the use of ice,
$150 per day, or $17 per hour.
The lawn bowling rates
would rise from 8265 to $270
per season, while the weight
room would remain at $210.
Major changes were sug-
gested for outdoor facilities.
Daytime use of ball field for
minors would be 82.00 per
player per season, and 87.00
for adults per game.
Night games, with lights,
would be 814.00 per game, and
$75 for a weekend
tournament.
The rates must be approv-
ed by participating councils
before they come into effect.
School board

seondary level, 8375,070 was
budgeted and only $367,673
was spent.
The entire elementary
budget, including teachers'
salaries was set at $16,588,918
last year. The final tally
shows expenditures of
$16,655,122 or 100.4 percent of
the budget figure.
The secondary level ended
the year with actual costs of
$15,866,145 or 98.7 percent of
the $16,078,750 budget figure.
This includes secondary
school teachers' salaries.
The final expenses for the
board office, including ad-
ministrative staff salaries
and trustee honorariums are
82,401,734. This represents
92.5 percent of the budget
igure of 82,596,486.

School board to check French immersion project cost
The Huron County Board of
Education wants to know the
cost of a French Immersion
program before setting up
such a program.
A group of interested
parents from Goderich told
the board of its interest in set-
ting up a French Immersion
program in the county for
September of this year at the
board's February 16 meeting.
Nicola Sully of Goderich
spoke for the group which is
interested in an early total
immersion program at the
kindergarten and Grade 1
levels if started this
September.
The Goderich woman said a
meeting wasbeing held at Vic-
toria Public School in
Goderich that evening to in-
form any Huron County resi-
dent interested in such a pro-
gram for their children.
"We would best be able to
make a formal presentation
following our information
meeting at which time we
would have concrete numbers
and suggestions for im-
plementing this program. If
all were in agreement, we
could make this presentation
to the education committee at
their meetng on February 13
in orderto facilitatea study of
this subject," said Mrs. Sully
hoping for a positive recom-
mendation from the board at
its March meeting.
However, Trustee John
Jewitt of Londesboro said
before any committee studies
the possibility of a French Im-
mersion program in the coun-
ty, the board should know all
costs associated with such a
program.
Exeter Trustee Clarence
McDonald agreed with Mr.
Jewitt but pointed out that if
the Goderich group is to be
heard at the nexteducation
committee, there isn't enough
time to prepare any costs.
"I am all for French in-
struction," said Mr. Jewitt in-
dicating he is not against a
French program, but he said
consideration has to be given
to what is currently being
taught in Huron County. Now
French instruction starts in
Grade 3 for 20 minutes a day.
Trustees started to question
what kind of costs Mr. Jewitt
wanted noting there are dif-
ferent degrees of French Im-
mersion programs.
Bob Allan, director of
education, agreed the ques-
tion of French Immersion is
a complex one and suggested
that administration could pre-
sent general cost figures at
the board's March meeting.
Trustee Tony McQuail,
Ashfield township com-
mented on the time frame
suggested by the group. He
said it is "unrealistic" for the
French Immersion group to
expect the program to be in
place in Huron for this
September.
Both Mr. McQuail and
Board Chairman Eugene
Frayne said the future of a
Lucan Anglicans
Welcoming members and
friends of Holy Trinity
Anglican Church at the ser-
vice of Morning Prayer on the
6th Sunday in Epiphany were
• Mary and Emerson Degraw.
Readers of the Old and New
Testament lessons were
Bryan Smith and Joyce
Sovereign.
The children's hymn was
'In our work and in our play,
Jesus, be thou ever near' and
was used by Rev. Pocock to
base his talk to them. All life
is a journey and the Christian
life becomes a journey with
Jesus to guide us and help us
to do right instead of wrong.
Prior to leaving for Sunday
School, • the children sang
'Come and follow Me' with
Carol Smith responding to the
call.
The sermon was based on
the Gospel lesson, Matthew
5:17-26. The 'law' began the
Old Testament, and the 'pro-
phets' completed it.
Jesus didn't come to erase
God's laws but to fulfill them.

Management, 7:30 p.m., Feb.

French Immersion program
depends on the number of
people wishing this type of
program for their children. It
is expected these numbers
will be determined at the
public meeting.
The board will have the
general costs of a French Im-
mersion program presented
to them at the March 5
meeting. Information from
the Goderich public meeting
will also be available and the
board will decide which direc-
tion to take.
