The Wingham Advance-Times, 1985-05-22, Page 141 1 Page 12—The Wingham Advance -Times, May 22, 1985 adill cheerleaders to appear at Barry Manilow concert Fresh , from its heady successes at the all -Ontario championships and the Canada's Wonderland competition, the Acro -Cheer Squad from F. E. Madill Secondary School has had another bouquet come its way. The cheerleaders have been invited by Wonderland to appear as part of a Barry Manilow concert scheduled there this summer. Louanna Alexander, a coach of the squad, reported that Wonderland had phoned last week to invite 16 girls to be part of a choreographed routine during the Manilow concert in July. They thought it would be an ad- ditional reward for winning the competition, and besides they were really . impressed with the squad's per- formance, she said. A Hollywood choreo- grapher will develop and teach the girls a routine which they will perform to the song "Copacabana" as Barry iManilow sings. In return the girls will not only get an all -expenses -paid trip to the concert, but also $500 toward the cheering fund to help purchase jackets for the squad. Although Wonderland is only looking for girls in the show, she hopes to take the male members of the squad along for moral support and, if called' upon, they would be ready to perform some of their winning cheerleading routines, Mrs. Alexander said. As might be expected, the girls are pretty excited about the invitation, she added. "They can just hardly wait!" Auditions were scheduled last week to select additional girls for parts in the concert. Editorial Confusion over courtes With the feminist move- ment growing stronger with every stride towards equal- ity, we have left two ques- tions unanswered that are probably confusing our male society: What is a lady? and what is a gentleman in 1985? Every person has different guide rules - regarding etiquette for each sex to fol- low. Some women still feel the need to act helpless and get everything done for them. Others have a very de- , fensive outlook and will not walk through a door that is held open for them. They are a dangerous species and have been known to stomp on helpful male hands that re- trieve fallen articles. I think one must look at this situation objectively to determine where the line should be drawn. Courtesy is an aspect to which the golden rule should be applied. I would hold a door for a male who was unable to open it be- cause of crutches or because he was carrying a large awk- ward object. Should society make me feel less of a 'modern woman' for accept- ing, with gratitude, the same pleasant actions when I am in need of assistance? The key word for both sexes to remember when being courteous is equality. The first person through a door, male or female, should hold it for people following closely. It really doesn't make sense for a man to shut the door, wait for it to close and have the woman reopen it again, just to assert her in- dependence. Use common sense! Tactics 1iyke that make us look like imbeciles or, Worse, spoiled brats. Men and women have to work closely together a ma- jority of the time. This can lead to problems for both sexes. A woman may wonder how much courtesy to take. Is opening a car door too Spirit of Broadway. I told you there would be more information about our musical and here it is. For anyone who hasn't already heard-, the F. E. Madill Drama Club is busy getting ready to present a musical called "The Spirit of Broad- way". The show combines music and scenes from six com- pletely different Broadway musicals into a virtual "new „discovery" of Broadway. There are selections out of everything from "The Sound of Music" to the recent hit "Cats", and it promises to be an enjoyable evening for all. Choral directors for the show are Celia Chandler and Julie Mulvey of F. E. Madill and the choreography has been done by Joanne Brown, from Teeswater. As writer and director I am extremely proud of the work- they and the entire company have put into it, and I strongly urge you to come and share in the magic with us. Performance dates are May 30, 31 and June 1, at 8:00 p.m., in the school auditor- ium. Tickets are being sold to students in the school cafeteria during lunch periods, and are also avail- able from any Drama Club member and at the door. Don't miss this extrava- ganza! Come and join in the Spirit of Broadway! —Thomas Bailey much? On the other hand, males are confused about how much of a helping hand to lend. - If both sexes act maturely about it, the problem can easily be resolved. Men, treat us as you would your male colleagues and hope you don't offend anyone. If you do, don't despair. It is her manners in question, not yours. Angela Petten Orientation night held On May 13 F. E. Madill hosted an orientation night to familiarize Grade 8 students who will be entering high school next year and also to inform parents of the educa- tional system ;their children will be getting accustomed to for the next few years. The students were wel- comed to Madill by Mr. For- rest and Mr. Wraith and were given a show in the large gymnasium. The On- tario champion cheerleaders presented two demonstra- tions of their winning form. The drama club produced two segments of the spring production. Also Ed Sweeney and Doug McFarlan (the school's new president and vice president) welcomed the students. The grade eights were then taken on a guided tour of the school (but are probably still lost!). Some school clubs also set up demonstrations for all interested, The school page club would like to congratulate the staff and all the students involved in a successful evening. -Bonnie Perry MAGNIFICENT MAY PRICES AT THE WINGHAM SALES ARENA JUST NORTH OF WINGHAM ON HWY. 4 CLOTHING AND FOOTWEAR FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY: For the ladies: Cropstyle Belted Symmer DRESS PANTS Assorted styles and colors COTTON ROMPERS.... .. . _.. .

See you there. c TRACK AND FIELD The Madill track and field team had a strong showing at the Huron -Perth Track and Field Meet. The team placed first in 15 events and had a total of seven events in which Madill took first and second spot. Doug Wood set two meet .records andplaced first in all his events, winning the in- dividual senior boys' cham- pionship, and Sandy Mc- Donald won an individual championship in the junior boys', setting one record, in my opinion Courtesy is important Courtesy is a very import- ant value in our,lives. It may be the deciding factor in get- ting a job or in making new friends. We should always try to be courteous, even if it's just a small task. There are many things I think are rude: not covering your mouth when you cough, not saying please or thank you, speaking while others are, and smoking at the sup- per table. Those listed are small examples of rudeness, but they could easily be changed for the better if we set our minds to it. A good lesson learned has occurred in our school just lately. Because of a minority of discourteous, unthinking students our student lounge may have to be closed. It seems a small number of teens have beenc,,wrecking furniture, throwing pop cans, and doing many other thoughtless things. In doing so, they have destroyed our property and also have in- creased the chance of every student's privilege, the stu- Hospita Members of the hospital board have been invited to submit nominations for a person to be honored with the task of cutting the ribbon for the official opening of the new emergency and out- patient wing at the Wingham and District Hospital. Mary. Lou . Thompson, chairman of the board's public relations committee, -- asked for nominations to be sent to the committee after discussion at the board meeting last week failed to produce a consensus. Asked who should be in- vited to open the wing, which is scheduled for completion this fall, board members had a number of suggestions. "I'd start at the top and get Frank Miller up here," Robert Middleton proposed, noting that "he wanted to close usdown a while ago," so it would do him good to see the hospital growing. I r. Walter Wong's advice, on the other hand, was to ignore the politicians and get some worthy local person to do the honors. "We, want to patch fences and this is an ideal op- portunity to palch fences with the community." When. it . was noted by Shirley Garniss there are a number of worthy local candidates and it would be tough to pick one without offending someone else, Dr. Wong suggested inviting the Governor-General, which drew a favorable response. Eventually Mrs. Thomp- son asked board members to send their suggestions to. her committee, which will bring a recomtnendat• n to the board. The board also scussed when to hold the o ping, with Administrator Norman Hayes proposing Sept. 27 but others expressing concern whether the building would be done by then. The con- tractor'has said the work will be finished by the end of September, "so that's pretty tight," noted Hans Kuyven- hoven, chairman of the prop- erty committee. Dr. Brian Hanlon proposed waiting until the building had been in use for a month or two. Members finally were asked to send their suggestions for an opening date to, the public relations committee as well. 0-0-0 Hot dogs will be available for 25 'cents June 13 to 15 at the Zehrs plaza, with proceeds going to the hospital, Mary Lou Thomp- son told the board. She said the wieners are dent lounge, being taken away from us permanently. We have the choice: a little courtesy towards others' property would have ended this problem. Courtesy should be used toward people in the work force too. For example, I have a friend who is a wait- ress; she finds snapping fingers and speaking with a full mouth very irritating and rude! I agree. Canadian workers are working to please, protect and keep so- ciety ; they should be treated with respect. I do notice many courteous acts being done in our school — such as doors being held open for book -laden students or teachers and "please" or "thank you" are heard often. Remember, it's the rude people who find they have fewer friends. If we work on improving our declining manners, we will start to see a change for the better in our lives. Thank you for reading this! —Valerie Ricker snorts being donated by Schneid- er's and the buns by West-- on's, with the cooking being done by the hospital staff. 0-0-0 Reporting for the management committee, the board vice chairman, Dr. Brian Hanlon, said the committee has discussed holding a special meeting to talk about ways of attracting doctors to the area. In particular the hospital needs another general prac- ticioner-anesthetist in the very near future. However another doctor on the board, Dr. Walter Wong, said that if the hospital hopes to attract new doctors it will have to have something to offer them. Housing is very important, he said, and there is a short- age of desirable rental housing in Wingham. He suggested the board may have to acquire housing to offer to new doctors at reasonable rental. He also said it is not financially feasible for a doctor to relocate "without proper cash incentives for the first few years," adding that he believes there is an oversupply of physicians in this area. "The Wingham and distr_ict_area hasgottem a very bad reputation because we've had so many doctors through here in the last few years, and each one left with a bad taste in his mouth," Dr. Wong said, concluding thatthe hospital cannot hope to attract a physician such as a GP with special skills unless it is prepared to offer remuneration commensur- ate with his or her skills. skills. Patricia Bailey, who has taken the place of William Harris as Wingham Town Council's representative on the board, commented that she was appointed by council about three, years ago to sit on a committee to find new doctors. That group still has not met, she told Mt. Hayes. 0-0-0 Susan Fair from Bluevale has been hired as the hospital board's new recording secretary. The board adopted a recommendation from the management committee to hire Mrs. Fair to take minutes at its meetings at a fee of $30 per meeting. The position will be reviewe1l on an annual basis. Although the new secretary does not officially start her job until June, she was at the May meeting "getting practice", the board was told. Wza 47:54 at the Wingham Public School Editors: Jeff Wall Nikki Reavie .a The drama club had a fantastic time in Stratford! Pupils in the club, as well as teachers and parents who were invited to come along, first enjoyed a filling meal at., a restaurant in Stratford. Then it was back on the bus at about 7:30 to make the long-awaited trip to the Stratford Festival Theatre. Along with hundreds of other people the drama club members found their seats in this beautifully -designed theatre and sat down to watch a most famous Shakespearean play, "Twelfth Night". This production was fabulously presented by the theatre actors and ac- tresses! I personally wouldn't miss a chance to go back again. I look forward to making a third trip. —Ria Linardatos In Mrs. King's and Mrs. Schedler's class during reading, the Muppets and Ghostbusters will be getting new readers this week. In mathematics, the Grade 2s just learned borrowing and carrying and they are doing all sorts of fun mathematics activities. Guess what the Grade is and 2s just have learned in science? They have learned that plants are living things, that eat and breathe. They are also learning the dif- ferent parts of a plant. By the end of the year they will know a lot about plants. —Anna Sakasov Mrs. Szarek's class has just completed its projects on mammals and started some new projects on birds. The class has also been writing lots of stories and is going to make books out of them. They also are doing a unit on Australia and enjoying it. Mrs. Szarek and her class arehappy to report that two peoplefrom the class, Thareni Keil and David Bower, won first prize in Walkerton for singing. The class also sang at the festival and really enjoyed this opportunity. —Brad Crawford Two weeks ago the Kin- dergarten students made a surprise for Mother's Day. These surprises were vases made out of a glass jar and decorated with tissue paper. The class has also made some Canadian flags and currently is working on sets of 10. —Mike Cullen The Golden Circle students will be traveling to Port Elgin on May 29 for the Region Four Track Meet. Last Wednesday they had .r three excellent bowlers. Barry had 147, Mary Jane„ had 147 and Billy Z. had 174. Congratulations go to these bowlers and good luck to everybody who will be participating in Port Elgin. —Christa Curzon Mr. Whiteley's class, in preparation for the track and field meet here Tuesday and Wednesday, is practising exchanges on relays. The Ghostbusters reading group had a fun day at CKNX and made a presentation about what they learned about Mr. Chippa's job. The rest of the class went on a tour as a culmination of our media unit. They are working with Mr. -Morton and our town library on our newest social studies venture. They are resear- thing Canadian explorers and plan to present their findings. Our camping experience at Benrniller Falls is ap- proaching rapidly. —Paul Edward: IN THE MATTER OF ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT R.S.O. 1980 CHAPTER 337.
