It was the first time we stayed right to the end of the awards ceremony. It was the first time we ever finished as high in the Midget- boys' competition where Madill was edged by Sarnia St. Patrick 45-38. For the first time we were second in the overall boys' championship. . Lambton Central had 109 points and we had 99. For the first time we advanced to OFSAA West in 16 events!

Money is spent on Newsy nothings Hello! Just little old me again. Sorry, I missed you last week. I hope everyone has recovered from that grand affair, the formal. I was told to tell you that little number in the pink dress was hot. ilmmmmmm. Nonetheless, it's just one more sign that the school year is nearly over, Boo Hoo. It seems from what I hear from my sources, that a cer- tain teacher was seen driv- ing down F. E. Madill's own one-way street . the 'wrong way. Yet isn't that one of her pet peeves..? I hope -the recent price in- crease on a pack of cigaret- tes is incentive enough for those who smoke to quit. Such a nasty habit. That's all for now folks. , —Bye, Maude P.S. Hello Chris and Linda, what's this about you being one of the guys on the recent trip you were on? Turnberry Township nuclear arms. Money is spent on cruise missile tests. Money is. spent on bettering our army! Therefore, money is spent on creating, war. This is such a wise invest- ment! Meanwhile, there is crime in Canada. Robberies, mur- ders and rapes occur in this country day after day. It gets to the point where we can't rely on police protection anymore. Six policemen were killed in the last few months. Five of those mur- Quiet time Go away Don't bother me. I want to be along — Can't you see? Please leave I need some quiet time Time alone That's only mine. Here's your coat And there's the door I don't want You anymore. Wait! Come back! It's lonely here Please return • I need you near. Joanne Lewis 12D ders occurred in Ontario. Government doesn't seem to think these issues are im- portant enough. They want to create world peace by spending money on war items — makes sense. Money would go to waste if it were spent on building more rape crises centres, re- habilitation centres and half- way houses. Don't you think that if we better our country first it would help in creating world peace? Sure, having war weapons gives, the country power and strength, but, how far will this so- called power go when the problems of the country it- self are not regulated first? What good are nuclear warheads in a decaying en- vironment? It is these prob- lems (acid rain, mercury poisoning, etc.) that should be solved before getting pre- pared to blow away each other with senseless, cruel weapons. - Orphans, single parents and domestic violence should be the categories con- siderjed rather than the gov- ernment spending large amounts of money on its in- ternational status. Therefore I feel the government should put its priorities in proper sequence. —Rachel Poulin 12F Council still reluctant to cut hill in spite of landowner's request Turnberry councillors still are reluctant to cut back a hill on the township's sixth and seventh concession, in spite of a presentation by one of the involved landowners at last Tuesday evening's meeting. Rudy Hooftman of Con. 6-7 and Andy McBride of Maitland Engineering in .Wingham attended the meeting. The two men spent approximately three- quarters of an .hour with council, but were' unable to dissuade members from an earlier recommendation to build the road up in the hollows, rather than cut it back. In a tour of township roads last' month, Ross Jackson of the Stratford office of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications had recommended filling the hollows of the hill by six to seven feet. Reeve Brian McBurney said Mr. Jackson suggested taking one, foot off the top of the hill, not the six to 10 feet Mr. Hooftman suggested. "I would be concerned about snow problems," if the hill were to be cut back, said Deputy Reeve 'Doug For- tune. Councillor Randy Scott Said he would be concerned abort going on landowners' property since cutting the hill back would require .purchasing approximately 40 feet in road allowance from Clarence Henning and another 20 feet from Mr. Hooftman. Mr. Hooftman, who said he spoke . for Mr. Henning as well, offered to give the township the land needed for the road allowance. "I don't think you have any idea how much this will cost," said the reeve. Earlier in the evening Mr. Hooftman had said he would pay for any ."unplanned" costs of the construction. - When Councillor Joan Wright asked Mr. Hooftman if he were prepared to pay anything above the $14,000 council has budgeted for the project, he replied, "No, I would pay for cutting away the crest of the hill." "Why are you so con- cerned about cutting the hill back, rather than filling in the hollows?" asked Mr. Scott., Hooftman said he .finds it difficult to get out of his driveway in the winter. Finally after some further discussion council agreed to have the Huron County engineer look at the hill and make a recommendation. Before Mr. Hooftman and Mr. McBride arrived at last week's meeting, council had spent some time in com- mittee -of -the -whole discuss- ing the matter. POWELL'S HILL The township will pay Ed Powell 25 cents per cubic yard for gravel to build up a hollow in front of his Con. 6-7 farm. Road Superintendent Ross Nicholson is to get a signed agreement with Mr. Powell before any work is started on Mr. Powell's property. Mr. Nicholson also is to look into getting a wayside pit permit from the Ministry of Natural Resources for the job. A motion made at the May 7 meeting regarding grader subsidy was rescinded at last week's meeting. • Mr. McBurney, said "a little bit of a misun- derstanding" had led council to believe that some local municipalities had received as much as 95 per cent subsidy on,recent grader purchases. It appears they have gotten only as much as 80 per cent, but that still is better than the 61.7 per cent Turn - berry has been offered to- ward the purchase of a John Deere grader council bought in 1984v, The original motion was changed to ask the MTC for grader subsidy in the amount of 80 per cent rather than 95. In other business Mr. Scott raised his concern over a recent billing council received from the Wingham and Area Fire Board for $675 per )lour. Although he had not been at council's May 7 meeting Mr. Scott learned about the bill through the minutes of the meeting and a rlub- sequent newspaper report. "Is fire protection ever going to get any cheaper?" he asked fire board mem- bers Mr. Fortune and Mr. McBurney. Mr. Fortune saiq the board calculates the costs incurred by the member municipali- ties by a special formula using the number of fire calls as well as operating costs. Since fire calls were down last year and overhead costs remained the same' or higher, Mr. Fortune said the board had to recoup some of that lost revenue by charging more for fire calls this year. Costs should even out though, said the deputy reeve: Clerk -Treasurer Dorothy Kelly said it will be very difficult to budget for fire protection if there is a new formula every year, but Mr. Fortune assured her the formula should be available by the time she is ready to set the township budget in February or March. Three buildipg permits were approved at the meeting: Milford Gowing, a home, Lot 166, Plan 410 (Lower Town) ; Fran Keil, a demolition, Lot 13, Plan 165 or Bluevale and John Green, Lot 30, Plan 410, an addition to his butcher shop. Councillor Don Morrison volunteered to sit on the Wingham and District Historical Society, " Council donated $50 to the Red Shield Appeal. Members decided to, hold only one monthly meeting this summer instead of the usual two unless some im- portant item of business were to come up. The next meeting of Turnberry council is scheduled for June 6 at 7:30 p.m. at. the municipal office in Bluevale. Hurdles: Jenny Bender, fourth. Senior Girls Long jump: Carol Black- well, bronze; Shot put: Carol Blaekjvell, bronze. School records were broken, y Dave Helfenstein in Mi get javelin, Doug Wood in pole vault, high jump and long jump and Jenn Bender in the hurdles, while,erry Bauer tied a school record.. The first-ever individual WOSSA champion is Doug Wood. Overall F. E. Madill placed second, only 10 points behind the winners frim Lambton Central. A special thank -you to the officials.
